Chapter 1

A man cloaked in darkness hiding everything about him from anyone watching walked the back alleys Konohagakure no Sato with no destination in mind. The sounds of the festival nearby could be heard from the other side of the village but he ignored even that having hated large crowds from his early years.

"It's been two hundred years to the day since I've stepped foot on this continent." The cloaked man mused thinking back to the people who ignored him and thought they were his better because of some fancy tricks they could pull with the power they call chakra but he knew better after everything that's happened over the years.

'Not a single thing about this continent has changed no matter how friendly these ninja say they are to outsiders.' He thought knowing from past experience with the people of this continent how fast the ninja in these villages would throw someone outside the walls of their village the second they learned someone didn't have any money on them. 'And yet my travels bring me back to this same continent once again after all the times I spent traveling alone.'

He suddenly stopped hearing a noise coming from the nearby alley and upon looking closer noticed someone digging through a dumpster. It was a boy looking around four maybe five he couldn't really tell because of his height with dirty blond hair matted down and what looked like oil and other kinds of dirt covering him. The boy looked cleaner than most children he's seen living on the streets but he was still covered in a thick layer of dirt and his orange shirt had a rip or two on the sides. In his arms was an old-looking radio that he pulled out of the dumpster a few seconds ago and when he wiped the muck off on the side of his shirt the man caught sight of a worn looking tool belt barely hanging onto his waist.

"Hello there young man." The cloaked figure called out to the child getting the blond to turn around facing him. That's when he saw the X-shaped scar in the middle of his face and his ocean blue eyes. The man watched as the child's eyes light up with joy when the blond saw that he was talking to him before dimming slightly with a bit of fear.

"Sorry sir I'm not someone you should be seen talking with. If you're looking for the festival it's over at the other side of the village and should still be going until around midnight." The kid called out to him as he walked closer keeping the radio under his left arm while his right hand held onto his tool belt so it wouldn't fall off of him.

"I'm not looking for anybody young man but I am curious about what you were doing over there." He replied with a frown hidden by the cloak he had on wondering why the child looked like that when he mentioned the festival. 'Why isn't he over their enjoying it like everyone else is.' That thought troubled the man when he saw the blond haired boy was skinnier than most children his age should be.

"Just looking for some things to repair since I plan on being a merchant or a blacksmith maybe even own a shop or something like that when I get older." The kid rattled on the list of skills he knew from sewing and fishing to basic smithing thanks to the books he collected from the trash or some that were in the for sale bin at the local library. "That's if I'm lucky enough to save up enough money by then but I'm being positive, yea I think I used that right about my chances to have enough put away by then." The joy in his eyes when he talked about things wanted to do had even him of all people smiling hearing about the little shop he had planned out for later. The cloaked man smiled slightly from behind his cloak hearing the child talking about all the things he wanted to do and see when he was old enough to leave the village without the masked men bringing him back for his own safety.

"So what about you? Do you think I can do it, can I own a shop when I get old enough?" The blond-haired boy asked looking up at the cloaked man unknowingly right in his eyes. That's when the man thought back to the ruins he found during his last visit to this continent and the pieces started falling into place about the child. 'He's an Uzumaki or has their blood running through his veins if this village wants him to stay so badly and there's only a handful of reasons why they'd need one.' The cloaked man thought muttering something under his breath before nodding his head slightly getting the kid to jump for joy. He laughed slightly when the child let go of the tool belt while jumping tripping himself up falling backwards into the dirt.

"So whats your name little merchant? What would you sell when your shop opens and how would you protect it?" His questions got the boy to blush scratching the side of his cheek embarrassed at not even introducing himself yet or thinking about protecting his things from robbers and bandits.

"I'm just Naruto no last name at least not anymore after I got rid of it." The now named Naruto told the man with the same forced grin like last time as he scratched one of his cheeks where his whisker marks were located. "I guess I'd sell a little of everything or if I became a good enough blacksmith make the things I sell and just order the materials needed." Naruto admitted with a small shrug still looking deep in thought. "And if I wanted to protect my things I could always learn to fight like the samurai in Tetsu no Kuni do."

"What about a ninja they have a school in this village that could teach you to fight like them." The cloaked man caught the brief glimpse of fear flash across his eyes once again before the forced smile was back.

"I just don't like ninjas anymore mister." The child admitted still looking him in the eyes. "You never did tell me your name old man."

"Just call me Naelon if you want." The now named Naelon replies as flashes of Naruto's past appeared in his mind in small glimpses. The childs memories were an open book to him and the more he saw the more his hatred for the village and its people grew.

"I'm sorry Naruto but we have to leave, the village just isn't that safe for us to live in anymore." The image of an older looking girl smiling down at Naruto appeared along with the feeling of rejection radiating through the memory when she started walking away towards the gates with her father. "I'm sorry just wait at the library from now on, I'm sure the librarian won't mind letting you stay after hours if you explain things to her."

"He'll forgive them Kakashi he's their son so Naruto will forgive them if I just explain the men were drunk at the time." Images of the child pretending to be asleep appeared next. And while they thought Naruto was sleeping an elderly man and a masked white-haired man talked in hushed whispers near the door to his hospital room. He felt nothing but pain in this memory and seeing the bandages all over his face meant this moment was the most recent images of after the event that gave Naruto his scar. The voices fade into the background when a nurse walked in smiling slightly as she set up a blood bag for a transfusion. "Your a lucky little man, we have a matching blood type in storage. Strange that it hasn't been used in some time though." Looking through the childs eyes he saw the name Senju written on the bag before darkness consumed him.

"I'm sorry Naruto but it's for your own good so you can prove the village wrong." The elderly man spoke down to him with a sad smile after informing Naruto he'd already been signed up for the Academy next year. Looking around the fragments of this memory he felt nothing but resentment and something else more darker towards everybody in the village. "Don't you want to be the Hokage and gain the villages acceptance anymore?" Naruto just nodded before leaving the man's sight. The whispers in the back of the child's mind telling him what to do so the path chosen for him by others wouldn't happen.

"I'll file the papers away for you before we close for today." An elderly looking woman surrounded by rows upon rows of books told Naruto with a sad smile on her face. "Good luck Naruto."

The images of a small room appeared next with the child setting at a table working on something before he was suddenly forced from Naruto's mind.

"Are you okay mister Naelon? I don't need you dying on my birthday that would kind of suck for me." Naruto pointed out tightening his tool belt once again when the connection was forcibly broken and the man took in a breath. From Naruto's point of view the man had just told him his name than froze so he was slightly worried about the strange man who wanted to talk with him.

"I'm fine Naruto." Naelon finally spoke up trying to process what he just saw while trying to calm his racing thoughts. "So its your birthday today?" Seeing Naruto nod slightly he continued a plan forming in the back of his mind. "I have a present for you then if you want it."

Seeing Naruto nodding rapidly he pulled out a light blue lacrima with areas that were brown looking like someone threw dirt on it in certain spots and a small tattered journal. "It's a special kind of crystal that holds something rare for mages and the journal came from the ruins of an island I found." He explained seeing the questioning look in Naruto's eyes.

Naelon didn't know why he was doing this but as he watched Naruto looking at the lacrima and the journal with the happiest smile on his face he couldn't help but think of the dragon he came across a few years back during his travels. One of the few beings he could talk with who was depressed that he couldn't find a child to train like the others of his kind were already doing.

'Maybe that's why I'm helping him.' He thought seeing the tip of Naruto's tongue sticking out of the side of his mouth and a look of concentration on his face while he was trying to understand the journal's writings. 'I could do something good for once in my life if I got him away from this continent and take him to meet the elder dragon.'

Looking down at the objects in his hand for a second or two Naruto looked back up. "Thanks mister Naelon for the gifts. I never thought of being a mage but they seem nicer than the ninja around here if the books were right about them." Naruto told him with the first genuine smile since they started talking holding his presents close.

"I could get you out of the village and take you with me if you wanted." Naelon offered holding out his hand. "There's someone I know that always wanted a child to adopt." He watched the range of emotions flicker through Naruto's eyes after he made the offer and saw the hesitation in his hand when he slowly reached out for him. When their hands touched a pulse ripped through the village causing every form of light in the area to go out. In the ensuing chaos caused by the man the two of them left only for Naruto's disappearance to be noticed days later when his watchers couldn't find the child anywhere in the surrounding area.

After five months of traveling where Naelon would sometimes leave him for short periods of time after they passed through some kind of veil in the middle of the ocean they were finally nearing the island he talked about. During the trip to his new home Naruto learned a few things from Naelon that shocked the five-year olds world.

The first thing he learned was that he had some type of demon sealed inside of him and after calming down from his panic attack Naruto begged to have it taken out of him and Naelon did. When they made camp a few nights later the demon was easily released from the seal on his stomach by Naelon when he implanted the glowing lacrima into him. He screamed in excruciating pain through the entire process from the lacrima to the seal breaking down but that's when he got his second shock coming face to face with the Kyubi no Yoko.

Naruto still found it funny that the great demon was afraid of the cloaked man for some reason but the news from the Kyubi still shattered any love he might of had for his former home. His parents were still alive and they left him in the village with barely a tails worth of chakra to act as a decoy for some masked man while they trained up his siblings. They left him to fend for himself all because of some stupid prophecy a toad of all things made talking about one of them being a saviour of the ninja world.

That's when he threw away his old name taking up a new one from the huge scroll the Kyubi summoned for him as a parting gift. Even if the Kyubi avoided looking anywhere near Naelon for some reason after they had a talk away from him. He was now Asura having thrown away every connection to his old life and was now looking forward to a new life with a father that would love him. The newly named Asura changed his hair color from blond to brown using some hair dye they picked up seeing Naelon's point that they'd be looking for a blond runaway. For a few days Naelon looked unsure about Asura's new look mumbling it reminded him of someone but dropped any compliant after seeing the smile that wouldn't leave the five-year olds face.

That's why they were currently in the lands of Isvan on an uncharted island hidden by dozens of whirlpools walking up the hidden path towards a large cave. Walking into the cave Asura saw a large body of water that felt like it went all the way to the bottom of the ocean. Hearing a rumbling sound the water suddenly exploded causing Asura to fall on his butt while Naelon didn't move an inch. "Why are you here?" Asura looked on shocked seeing a dragon floating on the waters surface. The dragon had light blue scales with a slightly greenish tinge matching the water surrounding it. On top of its head was twin dark blue horns and he noticed the dragon had a slimmer more serpent like body than the dragons he read about with its wings hugging the sides of its body making it look more aerodynamic. The long tail on the end of its body was shaped like a fin and it had jagged spikes running up and down its spine.

"You wanted a child to call your own and train Ryujin, so I brought you one whose former parents didn't want him." Naelon told the dragon named Ryujin like it was the most obvious of things.

"This is so cool, your friends with a dragon mister Naelon." Asura cheered looking on excitedly up at the towering head of Ryujin before the dots connected in his mind and his eyes gained a hopeful look to them. "He said you'd want to adopt me is that true?" Hearing Asura's question Ryujin turned to glare at the cloaked form of Naelon when the man beat him to it.

"Asura, go outside and study the books you have while we talk." The five-year old just nodded before making his way out of the cave though Asura kept glancing back at Ryujin with the same hopeful look. He might be a dragon but if Ryujin wanted to be his father Asura would give him a chance over his old one anyday.

"You use the name of my kin now when you make promises mage" Ryujin growled out staring the cloaked man in his eyes. He was tempted to attack the man but knew the second he did he would die like everyone else before him.

"It has its uses." Naelon admitted with the same even tone not backing down from the dragon's enraged glare before Ryujin snorted slightly using his tail to reach for a large bottle under the water. They both knew whose name he was using and if that idiot wanted to pick a fight with the mage then it was his own fault for dying.

"Tell me about the child you brought me." It was a simple request that Naelon answered. The cloaked man told him everything from finding him digging through a dumpster and the fact Asura had the lacrima of the former Water Dragon Naelon implanted inside of him. The mage briefly mentioned the demon he released from the seal on Asura's stomach that was trapped there by the people from the eastern continent. He even told Ryujin about the prophecy that resulted in his parents abandoning him to be a decoy that got the dragon to laugh that they still believe in those kinds of things.

"Really a prophecy of all things." Ryujin laughed unable to piece together how stupid they'd be to listen to a toad on how they should live their lives.

"I couldn't believe it either until the Kyubi recited the thing word for word while I looked through his mind." Naelon admitted taking a sip of his drink while Ryujin took a large gulp out of the alcohol he kept stashed in the cave for company. "The child born from the blood of lost whirlpools holding the powers of a great kitsune shall bring forth a new golden age of peace and prosperity to the Elemental Nations when the time comes to once again raise up their arms." They both shared a small laugh at that knowing how many different ways a prophecy worded like that could be interpreted.

"I'll take the child off your hands then." Ryujin admitted with a huff but both of them already knew he really wanted a child of his own to train and show his ways to.

Following Naelon out of the cave they arrived to find Asura fast asleep curled up around the crimson colored duffle bag with a chibi drawing of a fox on the side. In Asura's arms was the journal he was still trying to figure out and the large scroll from the Kyubi resting in the snow beside him.

"Tell him goodbye for me." Naelon called out as he kept walking the cloak covering his head getting blown back by a gust of wind showing his short black hair.

Ryujin kept his eyes on the mage as he walked down the path until the snow hide him for a brief second before Naelon was gone. Looking down at the sleeping form of Asura he picked him up with his hand and headed back into the cave. A small smile crept over his face already thinking of a training regiment that would turn him into a master over the ocean second to no-one but him.

At Mt. Myoboku deep within the chamber of the great toad the being that spoke of the great prophecy opened his eyes feeling something changing. He ignored Fukasaku and Shima running in as his eyes took in the sight of the great prophecy changing.

Fire burnt away at the sheet holding the prophecy leaving three claw like marks ripping across the words that wouldn't die no matter what they did to the flames.

Author's Notes -

I know there's a lot of stories with him as a Dragon Slayer with most of them either being a lightning or Acnologia's Dragon Slayer but I haven't found one with water yet and figured why not try my luck.

The reason I had him throwing his old name away is because he learned his life in the village was nothing but a lie. He's angry after learning the only reason they kept dragging him back was they needed a decoy and decided to throw away everything that reminded him of his old life in Konoha. He'll go back to being blond later but for now he has brown hair.

The others magics I might have him learning are Archive, Water Magic, Snow Magic, Solid Script, Celestial Spirit Magic and Amaterasu. Here's my thoughts on them and which ones I might or might not pick. I wanted to give him a title like Nagi's The Thousand Master when I thought of him learning different branches of magic. Suggestions are welcome if you have an idea.

Archive - Like with a Water Dragon Slayer I haven't seen any stories with Naruto learning this type of magic and figured why not. (locked)

Water Magic - I've read the ones where when Naruto's an Ice Dragon Slayer and learns Ice-Make as a second so I figured I might do the same. (maybe leaning towards yes)

Snow Magic - I figured with him living on an island with nothing but snow and water around him Naruto would pick up the basics of Snow Magic in-between training. (maybe leaning towards yes)

Solid Script - It just looks like the magical version of fuinjutsu to me. (maybe)

Celestial Spirit Magic - The only main key I really planned on giving him was Aries. I just feel bad for her after all the things she went through with Karen and then Angel and have been wanting to write a story where Naruto finds her key for a while now. I also had some thoughts about Caelum and a few of the other Silver Keys. (locked)

Amaterasu - It would fall under the same thing as Solid Script but more along the lines of maybe not since it's supposed to be one of the harder magics to learn and the amount of time it takes to cast it if you're not experienced at it is long from what the info about it reports. (maybe leaning towards no)

Response - (Thanks for your reviews.)
