Well hi everyone. This will be my first attempt at a fanfiction so im kind of excited. I spend most of my time reading Naruto fan fics and I've finally decided to give writing one a try myself. Well first off this story will be long. I myself dont read anything that isnt over 40,000 words so I'll put myself to that same standard. Secondly If I decide to have Naruto paired with anyone it's going to be with Sakura.Umm lets see NO yoai so dont even ask. And I know this is cliche but how fast I update is going to depend on reviews...at first anyway...once I get started im bound to keep pouring the story out but I'll need some encouragement to get me off the ground XP. Ah as for other character pairing I'll pretty much give you guys what you ask for.

Lets see Disclaimer: Show aint mine blah blah , idea and concepts might be blah blah..I dont have a lawyer anyway.


The air was cool as it blew through the streets of Konoha, a fact that went unnoticed by most of the genral population.It was late at night and most of the villagers of this seemingly peacful village were sound asleep, comforted by the fact that they were gaurded by their dedicated shinobi. Two of which could be seen having a hushed conversation on the top of a stone monunment that over looked the village...

"So let me see if I've got this right," A young blone haired man spoke, turning slowly to look out at the village from his perch atop one of the stone heads that comprised the monument."You want to take me on a training trip ... but I'm going to wind up dieing on the trip."

"In a manner of speaking...yes." Replied an aged man with white hair that stretched into a ponytail that reached pasdt the middle of his back.Upon which was a large scroll of sorts.

The blonde turned around to face the older man, a confused look on his face."Okay...you lost me. Why the hell would you train me only to have me die. You're not making sense ero-sennin."

Said ero-sennin let out a sigh of annoyance. "You aren't going to die. Uzumaki Naruto is."

"Ah! I see..." the blonde said. Nodding his head in what he hoped was a convinceing way.

"You don't get it do you."

"Nope not a clue." replied the blonde, scratching the back of his head goofily.

"Alright look kid," started the old man, his face becomming more serious."you have an organization of some of the most dangerous and powerful ninjas the elemental countries has ever had the displeasure of knowing.They want you for the power of the Kyuubi no kitsune that is sealed inside you and , quite frankly, even with my help it would take years to get you up to a level where you could defend your self and hope to hold your own against even one of these men and, unfortunatley, we dont have that kind of time."

"In order to protect you , among other reasons, we're going to stage your death. Uzumaki Naruto is going to be KIA."

"But... isnt there some other way?" The blonde looked said...defeated almost. He didnt want to spend his life on the run, pretending to be dead. He'd have to give up his dream if he did that...and that...wasn't an option. "No I won't" He said, looking up with conviction "I won't give up on my dream."

The sennins expression softened as he looked at his student. The boy had conviction he had to give him that much "You wont have to Naruto, and I'd never ask you to.The first few months of the trip we're going to work on building you a new personility...as it is now Naruto..while you are strong, and would probally win a fist fight no problem... you aren't much of a ninja. You run around screaming and wearing bright colors. While others are hiding in the shadows your walking around in broad daylight. You lack subtility."

The young blonde looked stung. "I'm not that bad am I?" he asked sullenly.

"Yeah you are. But we're going to change that. You'll be a whole new person."

The blonde had a far away look in his eyes as he turned around to face the village once again."A whole new person..."He trailed off.

"Yes Naruto." The old man smiled as he observed his student. "A chance to make a name for yourself, and to prove yourself, without the shadow of the kyuubi over your head."

"Who else will know, besides you, who I really am?"

"Tsuande...thats all. We can't tell anyone else as that would really destroy the purpose..."

"I understand... so Kakashi and Sakura-chan?" He asked...a little unsure.

Jiraryia let out a sigh. He was taking this well at least. "They can't know...sorry kid"

"S'okay.. they probally wouldn't care much anyway."

"Look Naruto... once you err...die... I'll have to leave you. I can't be seen with some random ninja to often. It would raise suspicions."

"So I'll be on my own again?" Naruto asked a sad look in his eyes.

"For the most part yes. You'll be on your own. But that doesn't mean you won't occasionly run into me" He said winking conspirtiously.

"Alright thats cool I guess." He nodded to himself. "So when do we leave?"

The old sennin moved towards his young apprentice and placed a hand on the boys shoulder. "The two of us will leave tommorow night. Until then you have a meeting with your team in the morning. As for the rest of the day pack the essentials. Do whatever you want with the rest of your time.Oh and your team doesnt know that your leaving so you'll have to tell them. Later kid."

And with that the white haired man ,also known as Jiraryia of the sennin, Left his young charge to think upon what would soon be his new life.


Well there you have our prelude. Crazy ass plan huh? Well read and review please. .
