Author's note: Hello! Welcome to this story and I hope that you guys will enjoy it. This is my very first fanfiction however I have written some stories before. Please do comment on the story in whatever format that is easy to understand and if you have an argument regarding this story please do state it but also include explanation to your statement if possible as it will be helpful for me to improve this story.

A little background about this story. I got the idea for this story as I was re-playing the whole Witcher 3 game (a very popular RPG and if you do not know about it please do check it out as it may be helpful when reading this story as this story is influenced by it) and during one of the quest, the game explained the process in which candidates must go through in order to become a witcher and I thought, "what if Naruto went through the process, would be cool to see Naruto with the power of the witcher... AAYYYY DATS SOME GOOD IDEA FOR A STORY!" And here I am with this story.

Keep in mind that there will probably be some stuff from canon be it from The Witcher or Naruto that I will change. Also, this is not a crossover as the only thing that crosses to the Narutoverse is just the fact that Naruto is going through a similar trial from the Witcher 3.

I have someone in mind to be Naruto's girlfriend for this story but it is not final. After this chapter or after two more chapters I might set up a vote for the pairings.

Sorry for the long author's note, just want to make sure that you guys understand the idea behind this story and this will probably be the longest author's note. Now onto the story.

Chapter 1

The world of Naruto used to consist of just ninjas and civilians. This changed when one man tried to temper with the laws of the universe. This is the story of the one named Naruto Uzumaki, the first and only survivor of Trials of the Grasses.


Nobuta walked to his underground laboratory beneath the Hokage tower. This underground laboratory can be called the source of evil, a place where no matter how powerful someone is, they would tremble and shiver from the intense darkness this place has. If only the people knew that there was a source of evil beneath the very place of the person who they thought of as the noblest of mankind.

Nobuta grinned as he arrived at his laboratory. The grin he showed could very well split his face if he continued to widen his grin. He began to frantically laugh like a mad man as he looked towards his experiments; 10 orphaned boys he kidnapped from the street. One of the boys happened to be Naruto Uzumaki, a pariah of his village. For reason unknown to Naruto, the villagers, be it shinobi or civilians, despised his existence to the end. Only a handful of people ever cared for him. The Third Hokage, some of the anbus and Teuchi as well as Ayame ever cared for him. The Third Hokage dispatched many search parties that was made up of The Third's most loyal and trusted anbu when he was notified that Naruto went missing but the search did not bore any fruit. After a couple of months without any lead, the Hokage continued the search but expanded upon his resources and gave the word and mobilized all available chuunin and above to help with the search. When the search reached 6 months, the Hokage unwillingly called off the search even though he really wanted for the search to continue. Unbeknownst to him, Naruto was below his tower, trapped and used as a guinea pig for an experiment.

The sound of horror from the guinea pig could be heard however with 25 meters separating of soil muffled all the screams and shriek produced by the subjects of the experiment. Nobuta continued his experiment, all that is left for him to do is to inject the three necessary potions to the ten children. But before the injection starts, all of the children were strapped to a ten different tables with markings on the side of the tables, the cursed table where the children will go through 3 days of agony and horror of injection and continued with another 4 days needed for their bodies to absorb and adjust to the potion. That is if they survived the whole injection process. Nobuta concluded that only one out of ten children could survive from this process.

Alas, all ten of the children had been strapped to the tables and the injection process commenced. The first potion to be injected by Nobuta was a potion that consist of decoction of an eagle's eye and feline's eye combined with herbs. Nobuta believed that this potion could permanently enhance the five senses of the subject. The second potion was a mix between a bear's muscles and salamander's slime infused in water that was enhanced with chakra. After many researched, Nobuta finally found a way to enhance the physical attributes that someone have including the body's metabolism and regenerative properties and that potion was the fruit of his research. Lastly, Nobuta injected a potion that was made up of powdered human brain mixed with miniscule quantities of a bijuu chakra. When all three potions has been emptied, Nobuta pushed some of his chakra to the markings next to every tables and with that, seven days of constant suffering began for the children. Only time will tell who will survive.

Seven days had gone by and only one survived as Nobuta predicted; Naruto survived only because the Kyuubi was sealed inside him. Naruto awoke from his suffering, his eyes glowed red with cat-like eyes that frighten even the mightiest of the Kage. His canines sharpen, his whisker marks bolden and his nails sharpen. The might of the Kyuubi combined with the experiment made Naruto to awoke with anger and rage. He trashed on the straps that was on his body and immediately he was not on the table anymore. He let out a growl that might as well rival that of the Kyuubi's which made sense as he was also under the influence of the Kyuubi. As Kyuubi's chakra leaked out of him, someone who once could not believe that Naruto can no longer be found went to shock with the realization that he was right and everyone else was wrong, the Third Hokage was shocked.

Meanwhile, at the Hokage Tower, the Third Hokage as well as his personal anbu guard panicked at the feeling of Kyuubi's chakra. However, that was not the most shocking event but the fact that they sensed the Kyuubi's chakra beneath the Tower. In an instant, the Hokage and ten other anbu prepared to dig their way to where they sensed the chakra came from. They could only hope for the worst to never come. After only 5 minutes of preparation, they started to dig down.

"Anbu with earth affinity start digging immediately!" commanded the Hokage.

"Yes sir!" shouted 3 anbu each wearing different masks.

With that, they dug.

An 8 years old Naruto feral began looking around the laboratory. The enhanced vision from the potions only made his already enhanced vision from the Kyuubi better. However, Nobuta was nowhere to be found so Naruto sniffed the air. A scent caught his interest; the scent of another man and it reeks of filth. Naruto followed that scent to the next room of the laboratory. He carefully ran in silence thus making it almost impossible to be heard. He was finally at the next room and found Nobuta quietly sleeping. Rage grew even more when Naruto saw that man, the man that kidnapped him and tortured him with his experiments. Naruto set off with incredible speed and grabbed the man's robe and lifted him up. He threw the man to the wall, the sound of bones cracked can be heard. As Naruto was about to send the finishing blow, Nobuta opened his lips which made Naruto to stop for a second. When Naruto stopped, Nobuta spoke with all the strength he could muster.

"Do you want to know," his sentence was cut off by blood, he coughed blood but continued with his sentence, "why the villagers hated you? Do you want to know who your parents are?"

"Yes," said Naruto with a growl that could make men to wobble.

"You were supposed to be the pride of the village but being known as the Kyuubi attacked the village," he coughed again, "your father, the Fourth Hokage managed to save the village but with a huge cost, his life, your mother's life and he had to seal the Kyuubi inside of you…" before Nobuta could continue, his head was crushed a punch, a a Kyuubi and potions enhanced punch.

Naruto took the life of someone for the first time, the life of a filth who kidnapped orphans for his cruel and horrifying experiments. Before Naruto could do anything, he stumbled forwards and passed out from being exposed to the Kyuubi's chakra for the first time.

Some time had passed after Naruto passed out and the Third Hokage and his anbu finally managed to dug their way to the laboratory only to find that Naruto has passed out with a blood-covered fist beside a man with the back of the man pushed up against a wall and with no head. They looked above the man but they were horrified when they say blood splattered on the wall with what seemed to be fractures of bones.

"Clean up this mess, bring Naruto to a hospital to be checked and make sure he is getting checked, and two of you stay with me," uttered the Hokage to his men while pointing at an anbu with a dog mask and another anbu with a cat mask.

With the order, the anbus began their assigned jobs.

"Kakashi, Tenzo, you can open your mask and help me explore this laboratory," said the Hokage.
