Six years after the travesty of the Kyubi attack, a man with bandages across his eyes walked into konaha. He wore beggers clothes, old and dirty from the trail. He wandered aimlessly through the village, receiving cold gazes from some of the villagers. He accidently walked into a group of teenagers who were beating up a young kid. The man grinned. A dog barked and the eldest one looked at the man. The kid said, "Look boys, an outsider. What do you think we should do to him for interrupting us from killing the demon?"
The group responded unanimously. "Kill him."
The leader pulled out a knife and looked at the man. The man sighed. "What's the problem, geezer?"
The man shrugged and said, "I don't like needless violence, but that kid has Miyamoto's chakra signature so he's under my protection. Attack and I will retaliate."
The leader snarled and threw his knife at the man. He caught it with two fingers. He seemed to disappear. A minute later the group were on the floor. He walked over to the kid and grinned. The boy was alright. The kid looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"
The man grinned. "They call me Ryu. Who are you, son of Miyamoto Kenshin?"
The kid looked sad. "I've never been called anything except demon."
"Well then. I'll call you, Naruto. Would you like to travel with me and join my family?" asked Ryu.
"You mean it? Honest?" asked Naruto.
Ryu smiled. "Of course. But first I have to speak to the Hokage. Would you like to go with me?"
"Sure." said Naruto.
'This could be interesting. The son of Kenshin and vessel of Kyubi.' thought Ryu.
When they arrived at the hokage tower, the guards barred their path. "The demon is not allowed inside the tower. And neither are beggers."
The man chuckled. "I have an appointment. I personally don't mind making Sarutobi waiting all day. But you two might. After all, you'll be delaying a very important meeting between the third hokage and the Kage Souryo."
Both of the guards had bug eyes after that statement. "Right this way sir."
Ryu smiled and said, "Arrigato."
As they climbed several flights of stairs, Naruto asked, "Who are you?"
"Shinzui Ryu." Ryu walked on.
PS
When they finally got to the top, the guards stopped. The one on the right turned and said, "The demon waits here."
Ryu growled a little, scaring the guard. "If my adopted son wishes to enter with me , he will." Naruto and Ryu walked past the guards into the hokage's office. When he 'saw' the hokage, Ryu said, "Konichiwa, Sarutobi-san."
Sarutobi sighed and said, "Hello, Ryu. I see you brought the little one. What is it you wished to discuss?"
"Adopting Naruto and to ask why I wasn't told of Kenshin's passing." said Ryu.
Sarutobi groaned. "Because we couldn't find you. Why do you want to adopt Naruto?"
"Because, no one else will be able to train him in his bloodline. And I have my own reasons. He was attacked when I found him." said Ryu.
Sarutobi, who had taken care of Naruto behind the scenes, asked, "What are you planing?"
"To train him to be stronger, mostly." said Ryu. He smiled and got up. "It's been fun seeing you again, Sarutobi. But we must be going. Sayonara." he grabbed Naruto by the shoulders and disappeared in to their shadows.
Sarutobi sighed. "Good luck, Naruto and Shinzui Ryu."
PS
Ryu and Naruto reappeared outside the tower. "Where do you live?"
Naruto sighed. "This run down apartment in the middle of the village. Why?"
"Well, I thought that since we're leaving that you'll need to pack." said Ryu.
Naruto's attitude did a one eighty. "You mean we get to travel?"
"Well, I don't really have a home you see. My family is on the outskirts so, we'd better get going." said Ryu. "Which way?"
Naruto started walking. All the villagers that saw them gave them death glares. Naruto shrugged it off and Ryu honestly didn't care. When they reached the apartment, Naruto asked, "Why do you wear that bandage over your eyes?"
Ryu raised an eyebrow and chuckled. He undid the bandage to reveal glowing black eyes. There was no pupil in them. "It's mostly to keep attention off of me. Nice place." he looked at it and saw several red paint on the door. At least he hoped it was paint. He walked inside and leaned against the wall. He noticed several claw marks on the wall and two bloodstains. It looked like the kanji for oni kitsune. He noticed the roof was cracked. "Where did those claw marks come from?"
Naruto flew from bag to bag gathering clothes and ramen. "Not sure. The villagers usually ignore the inside." it took about a minute for Naruto to pack all of his stuff.
When they exited the apartment, Ryu asked, "Do you wish this place destroyed?" Naruto looked uncomfortable then nodded. Ryu did these hand signs. Fox, dragon, pig, dog, phoenix and dragon. "Tejina Kamae: Furea-Saikou. (Magic style: supreme flare)" he turned and snapped his fingers. The appartment bursted into black flames that died with the house in a manner of seconds. "Let's go, Miyamoto Naruto." the left the village of Konaha.
