I do not own Naruto in any format, this is fanfiction only.
Naruto was no stranger to misery and pain. He was born an orphan and to make matters worse unlike all the other kids in the orphanage they were given food, toys, and even medical treatments when sick or injured Naruto only got rotten food and beatings from the people in charge.
It almost seemed like instead of wanting him to grow up they actually wanted him to die. The only person who was ever kind to Naruto was someone who would appear in his dreams. She was a very sweet, kind and gentle red haired woman who was there to wipe away the tears the people around him caused him.
After three years of failing to avenge their dead Hokage, the matron of the orphanage had enough of him being in her orphanage. I was believed that if they could not kill him the elements and lack of shelter would, and they also knew the villagers wanted a turn at tormenting and trying to butcher the demon child, the murderer of their much loved fourth Hokage.
If the third Hokage had any flaws it was his view that everyone was essentially good deep down and he would always give them a chance to make up for past mistakes. The man was so merciful it almost made people wonder how someone so kind hearted could be such a feared ninja.
The matron of the orphanage would tell him that Naruto was doing well and that he simply was tried when he decided to visit him. He honestly believed that the child of the fourth Hokage was being in good hands and protected. He even gave generously to the orphanage in hopes that Naruto would be able to grow up a healthy boy.
Naruto did not receive what the third Hokage wished he would, sleeping in a cardboard box or hiding from mobs that wanted to kill him became an everyday occurrence. The in his dreams turned out to be the Biju that was blamed for the death of his parents. She explained everything and told him she would be there to make sure he was safe, it was the very least she could do.
The days got colder and the nights became more uncomfortable. Had it not been for Kurama's tender care he would have been dead already, and at times he felt that death of having been preferable. Since he was so depressed Kurama decided to focus his mind on something more productive. She began teaching him everything he would need to know as a ninja and more.
Naruto began to work out like it was the best thing ever. In a matter of five years stamina, chakra control and condition got so good that he ran the mobs into the exhaustion. He was also good with Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. His shadow clones would pretend to be a very sexy looking woman and while the men were busy staring at her body he could creep in and steal as much food as his hand made storage scrolls would carry.
During his fifth birthday, he decided to test himself against the many bandit groups in the forest that surrounded the village. Normally people would exit through the gate but Naruto took to exiting the village by running up the wall and jumping to a nearby tree. He found it was quite fun killing those bandits and each time he did it he felt good to make other villages be safer.
In one of those bandit groups was a group that actually pillaged a graveyard. Among their stolen horde was something Naruto never believed he would ever find. It was a summon scroll, with the help of a summon beast he knew he could grow stronger and in the excitement of finding such a thing he signed it without even finding out what the scroll would summon.
As soon as he signed it with his blood the ground opened up and swallowed him and he began to fall down what looked like a large underground cavern. A large bat flew near him and looked at him, "Not many would sign a summon contract without actually reading what the clan is and finding out what the summon creature can do. I could call you both foolish and reckless and it would be true."
Naruto looked upset at the large bat's words. "I need to grow stronger or I will die. There is nothing more important to me this moment than to grow strong enough so that the bastards of the village I live in begin to fear me and leave me alone."
Naruto finally landed on the floor of the cavern and so did the large bat. The bat began to change shape till he saw a man with silver white hair, wearing black armor and smiling as he looked at him. "Well, you might come to regret signing our contract. I am the boss summon of this clan and you may call me Alucard. "
"Tell me boy why the need for so much power. " Naruto began to tell him his life story and with each thing that was done to him Alucard began to look more and more angry as he heard the horrors and dishonorable things the villages did. "Stop don't say any more. If I hear one more rotten thing they did I am liable to go to the village you mentioned and do the world a favor and kill them all."
Naruto smiled as he saw the man understood why he needed to be stronger than anyone. "So does this mean you accept me as your summoner?" Alucard smiled and told him to sit near him.
"Naruto I would, but you must know this is the summon contract of the Vampire Bat Clan. If I accept you, your life will change. The only way for a summoner of our clan to grow in strength is to devour the blood of your enemies. Most would never consider drinking the blood of an enemy but it is the way of my clan. "
Naruto told him he needed to grow in power and he would gain it even if he rejected him as their summoner." I will work out, train and perfect my skills to the point of exhaustion and grow in power. I understand if you do not want me as your summoner. I will place your scroll where you tell me. "
Alucard smiled, " No Naruto I have no problem with you being our summoner. Come here and close your eyes. " Naruto did as he was told and Alucard bites him on the neck and a strange mark appeared where the bite mark should be." Never show mercy to the dishonorable, Never trust an enemy and always be aware of your surroundings. Do these things and you will follow all the laws of our clan. Rise and be most welcome Naruto Namikaze our summoner. "
Hinata had the great misfortune of waking up in the middle of the night and wanting a glass of juice when she found out that the supposed guest of her father was, in fact, thieves pretending to be businessmen that wanted to form a contract with their clan. Her father wanted to increase the amount of income their clan was making to be able to help the village.
The thieves saw the young girl and immediately they came up with a grand sinister idea. They could sell her to Kumo for her weight in gold. They all had been ninjas of Kumo who were exiled because of their greedy ways. With the eyes of a Hyuuga as trade, they would be welcomed as heroes back into their village.
The biggest one of them punched her and threw her in a rice sack and put her over his shoulder as soon as he was sure she would not be able to wake up. Naruto was returning to the village when they saw three strangely dressed men run away with a rice sack each. It was the smell of blood and tears that alerted him they were up to no good.
He ran on the tree branches till he ran past them and then he jumped down and stood before them. "You can keep the stuff you obviously stole but the girl stays with me." The man in between the three thieves looked at him. "You and what army is going to make us listen to you punk? I am going to enjoy killing you."
Naruto made a single hand sing and 200 copies of himself appeared. "Which army you ask? Why this one of course. Since you three are going to die, thank you very much for the meal." The three men looked at him with a look of utter shock. The clones beat the men so they could not even move and Naruto got close to one of them.
He opened his mouth and his fangs began to grow in length and he bite down on one of the men and began screaming till he stopped and lost all color in his skin. The two men knew they should have never messed with the kid, and he cleaned his mouth of the blood and bite down o the second one. The third the largest of the bunch began crying and begging that he showed him mercy.
"Mercy, now that is a word I don't even remember being given to me. I have no mercy for my enemy, the only thing an enemy is good for is food, and I am so very hungry. " He walked over to the last man and drank him dry.
Having done this for the first time he felt as his body learned everything the three men knew, their skills, their ninjutsu, and he felt his body grow stronger as he walked towards the three sacks. He put one on his shoulder why two other shadow clones but one picked up the other two.
The three went back to Hyuuga compound and placed the three sacks in from of the entrance to the main family building. He then got Hinata out and placed her ever so gently on the soft ground of a nearby flower bed. He left as she was waking up and saw a dirty looking boy with blonde hair in rags leave the compound at incredible speed.
Her father found her still out in the front yard early the next day and he saw her do something he never saw his daughter do. She was training in a way that would make the Green Beast of Konoha Might Guy pretty proud to call her his student. "Why are you training so early Hinata? Since when did you start training like this."
Hinata wiped the sweat off her brow and smiled at him. "Since last night when a boy saved me from the supposed business men that were staying in our home, turns out they were thieves and rogue ninja from Kumo. They told me they would sell me to Kumo. A boy dressed in rags saved me last night and so I figured that I should begin to really train or else I will never get to make that boy my husband. "
This was not the conversation he was quite expecting from his little girl. She just laughed and told him that women like herself tend to mature a great deal faster and since she found someone she was very interested in, she had more than enough reasons to try to make herself his equal to attract his amorous attentions.
He left looking at her and wondered if his own wife had actually planned out how he would fall for her before he even knew she loved him. "Just don't make me a grandfather when you are not even twenty years old." He said it from the door and could hear his daughter laughing.
Naruto kept attacking and feeding on his enemies, couple that with Kurama's nightly lessons and he was growing more and more powerful but thanks to his rags and inability to supposedly by food or anything for that matter he was not considered much of a threat.
The Council received more and more reports of bandit groups turning up dead and something was draining them of their blood, the corpses were bone dry. The abilities he gained more than made up for his lack of obtaining proper food. He kept learning things from the blood and his body kept growing in strength.
He asked Alucard why was this happening and he told him it was a clan ability. He even told him that he could take the animal form if he really wanted to. Alucard almost laughed when he asked him if he should fear garlic and stay out of the sunlight.
"No Naruto those are simply wild rumors and fantasy. Sunlight is actually quite beneficial since it will keep you from being too depressed. Garlic personally I can't touch the stuff, I am allergic to it, trust me you will find very little negative about being our summoner and I will always be here should you need some advice. "
The very next day he was called to appear in front of the third Hokage. He was taken off the streets and given a rather unkind bath, let's face it the Inuzuka bathed their dogs a lot kinder than these supposed Elite Ninja did him. He was dressed in a rather humble set of pants, shirt, and sandals.
Naruto was walked towards the Hokage's office and many wished that the third Hokage had finally decided to kill him and avenged the murder of the fourth Hokage. They were, of course, incorrect he told the ANBU to leave them alone so they could talk.
"Naruto, I would like to ask you if you ever considered becoming a ninja for this village. I know that you can no longer stay in the orphanage and no matter how nice the matron is you can stay after a certain age. I will give you an apartment to live in and an allowance so you can buy some food. But I really need to know since registration for the Academy is coming up. "
Naruto walked over to him and looked at him with a serious look in his eyes. " You honestly think I been living in the orphanage all this time, don't you? " Hiruzen did not like the way he sounded. " Yes, I do. I actually had you watched by the matron so that you would be treated properly. I have come to care for you almost as a grandson. "
Naruto looked at him and he could see the rage in his eyes." Then you are the easiest Hokage to fool in the history of this village. I was kicked out when I was three and they never gave me anything but beating, rotten food and any medical treatment or vaccines. I have been living on the streets being beaten every other day by the citizens you are so proud of. I have been eating out of garbage cans since I was three. Is this the love you have for your supposed grandson? "
Hiruzen was speechless as he heard the detailed account of the matron's actions and what many of the civilians had done to him. 'The lying, backstabbing old hag, she told me Naruto was simply too tired from playing and having fun with the other kids. No wonder she never wanted me to see Naruto he was not even there.'
"Don't you worry Naruto I will make sure this person pays for what she has done. But my question stands will you attend the Academy and become a ninja of this village. " Naruto told him he would if only to be able to better defend himself from the countless murder attempts on his life.
