'...' Kyuubi in Naruto's head

"..." Kyuubi speaking


A small boy runs into the Uchiha Compound with tears rolling down his cheeks. He had run away from his village, everyone hated him; he could see it in their eyes and glares. They had chased him until he had found his way here. Nobody except the Uchihas came here, so he knew he was safe. He couldn't understand what was wrong with him, he was just a normal 7 year old boy. Naruto stopped by an alleyway. His tears dropped one by one onto the pavement as he sighed.

It was the question he was always asking himself. Why was everyone so mean, and why the adults wouldn't let him play with their children? He never found a way to understand how he could be so different. It slowly got darker and Naruto crawled into a small cardboard box and fell asleep.

When he woke up later that night he was surprised to hear someone run past the alleyway. The boy slowly crawled from the cardboard box and looked around. Whoever it was, they were gone now. Naruto then began walking up through the streets and stumbled upon a house.

"Maybe the people that live here will be nice enough to give me something to eat..." He walked towards the front door but when he knocked the door opened a little. Cautiously he walked into the house.

"Hello?! Is anyone home?" Naruto walked into the living room and stopped in his tracks when he saw a man and a woman lying on the floor in a puddle of blood.

Suddenly someone grabbed him from behind and he gasped when they placed their hand on his mouth and told him to be quiet and that everything would be alright. The hand moved away from his mouth and Naruto quickly turned around to look at the person behind him.

He had to look up because the person was very tall. He had dark black hair and black eyes that seemed to stare into his soul. The small boy stumbled and fell to the floor. The man kneeled down and smiled a bit.

"My name is Itachi, what's yours?" Itachi held out his hand and Naruto shook it.

"I'm Naruto."

Itachi helped him stand up and looked at the man and woman on the floor. "They're my parents, someone killed them and I want revenge." Itachi commented while smirking down at Naruto.

The small boy shivered and stared up at the man and wondered what had happened.

They walked out of the house and Itachi gave Naruto something to eat, which he gratefully ate. He smiled, this man was just like the big brother he never had. Later they made their way out of the Uchiha compound, which Naruto saw was littered with bodies to the village gates. Just when he started to walk back towards his apartment he was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Why don't we stick together? It doesn't seem like you have anyone to go back to." Naruto grinned and nodded. Itachi was fascinated at how enthusiastic the small boy was. He picked the boy up and let him sit on his shoulders. He then started to walk away with a gleeful boy sitting on his shoulders.


9 years later

Naruto groaned when his alarm clock went off at 6:15 in the morning. He quickly shut it off and groaned more when he saw someone had tried to be funny again.

"Whoever changed the time on my alarm is going to die" he thought as he got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom where he took a nice hot shower.

It wasn't that bad that someone had done that, he could take a shower in peace. Most of the times everyone was knocking on the door demanding him to hurry up. Just because they were almost all older than him he didn't listen to anyone except Itachi.

Just when he wanted to get out someone started bonking on the door.

"Whoever is in there has to get out NOW! " Naruto sighed, he hated Kisame he was always bossing him around and teasing him. He quickly got out and walked past Kisame who glared at the blond haired boy. Naruto simply ignored it and went to his room.

About 10 minutes later he came out of his room fully dressed in a black robe with red colored clouds. It was the trademark clothing of the Akatsuki, a group of people he and Itachi had joined. Itachi had always been like a brother to Naruto ever since they had met. He made his way outside but stopped when someone ran past him followed by Deidara.

"Tobi give that back to me this instant!"

Scowling Naruto walked on further and sat down by his favorite tree. Everything was quiet and the Akatuski were staying 'low' for a while as Kisame stated. He leaned against the trunk and closed his eyes, but his peace was quickly disturbed by Deidara and Tobi.

"No Tobi is a good boy!"

Having enough of all the commotion Naruto tripped Tobi when he ran past. He fell with his face first on the ground and Deidara grabbed a piece of parchment from his hands. He thanked Naruto and went back to the house. Tobi stood up and Naruto stared at him. He had an orange mask with one hole so he could see through it with one eye. He huffed and walked away leaving Naruto alone.

Sighing Naruto leaned back against the trunk and closed his eyes again, hoping to not be disturbed this time. He thought back to when he was still living in Konoha. How life would have been if he had stayed there, probably like it had been when he was a little boy.

Since he learned Itachi he learned more about himself and why he was hated by nearly everyone in Konoha. He had discovered that a demon called Kyuubi was sealed in him, Kyuubi had terrorized the village and the Hokage of the time had sealed him in Naruto. He was glad he had left, he was much happier with his life nowadays.

'Come on kit let's go do something fun!' Naruto growled and shook his head. Ever since he found out about Kyuubi it seemed like the demon had awakened and from time to time communicated with Naruto in his thoughts.

'You're boring kit why can't we do anything fun?!' He stood up and made his way back to the house.

"Point 1, because I don't feel like it and point 2, I don't like you calling me kit."

Kyuubi was silent from that moment on and Naruto made his way back to his room. Later someone knocked on his door and came into his room.

"Good evening Itachi" Naruto greeted him as he walked towards him. The man nodded and asked Naruto to come with him. He got up from his bed and followed Itachi towards a room where meetings were always held.

"Ok let's get to business" Kisame smirked when Itachi and Naruto sat down. They started talking about a new mission and that the needed two members to take care of it. Everyone stayed quiet.

"Well someone's gotta do it." Kisame growled at them.

"Fine I'll do it, it's kinda boring here anyway, and now that that's done I'll be in my room."

Naruto stood up and left the room, with Kisame shouting after him to come back. He looked at Itachi who didn't even mind that the boy had left. He then asked Deidara to go with Naruto. Deidara accepted and everyone left the room except Itachi and Kisame.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to let Naruto go Itachi?"

Itachi looked up and glanced at Kisame.

"It's risky, seeing that the villagers might recognize him but I asked Deidara to go with him to act as his 'brother'. Everyone will only think he's the boy containing Kyuubi but all know he doesn't have any family anymore. They will also get a new name to bear."

Kisame kept silent and watched Itachi leave the room who made his way back towards Naruto's room. He let himself in and sat down. Naruto was staring out of the window and asked him what he wanted. Itachi told Naruto where he was going to and the names he and Deidara were supposed to use.

The boy listened carefully and growled when he heard what he had gotten himself into.

"But look out for Sasuke, you'll probably recognize him yourself" Naruto nodded and Itachi handed him a bundle of orange and black clothes. "You'll have to wear these; no one must know you're part of the Akatuski."

Handing the clothes to Naruto, Itachi left leaving the boy alone.

'So we're going back to Konoha eh? Hopefully it will be time for revenge kit.' Sighing Naruto studied the clothes. "Revenge would be sweet Kyuubi, but that isn't my mission." He could hear the demon scowl at him but ignored it. He went to bed and soon fell asleep. He was going to have a long day.


Naruto and Deidara left early the next morning with everything they needed and their other clothes. "Let's hope we get there soon hey Kenji?" Deidara asked smirking at his new 'brother'.

"I don't hope we'll get there soon Keitaro. I hate Konoha" They had travelled a day and a night before they say the city limits of Konoha.

'Welcome home kit' Naruto looked over the village and sighed. Konoha hadn't ever really been his true home. Everyone had hated him, and probably still did. Kyuubi couldn't understand that seeing he had been in a deep slumber until Naruto discovered him and his chakra. Naruto used a henge to make his whisker marks disappear before they reached the city gates.

They slowly walked in the village and Naruto couldn't help but see all the people stare at him. Some probably recognized him a little as someone threw a broken glass at him, which he caught with ease. Dropping it he glared at the people who had thrown it and growled. If he was still the boy he was 9 years ago he would have run away and cried. But he wasn't like he was back then.

Two men walked towards him and smirked. "So the demon finally came back. Isn't that just peachy?" Naruto watched them circle him and smirked back at them.

"I don't know what you're talking about; this is the first time I've ever been here. Now step aside before I hurt you."

The two men looked at one another, with confusion written across their faces when Naruto and Deidara walked right past them. One shrugged saying it was probably just a mistake. By nightfall they had made it to the house Naruto had been living in before he left Konoha, he knew no one would ever enter the house because he had lived there and went inside with Deidara.

It didn't surprise him to see everything still like he had left it. He let Deidara get some groceries while he cleaned everything up and settled himself back in. After a while he looked triumphantly at what he had accomplished and one of his rare smiles appeared on his face.

'Ah little Naruto finally did something useful.'

His smile immediately vanished and changed into a frown. "You know Kyuubi you're getting very irritating!" He could hear the demon chuckle and feel him smirking.

'You should get used to it, you're stuck with me the rest of your life!' Kyuubi started laughing but soon faded away leaving Naruto alone with his thoughts again.

Deidara came back a few minutes later and they ate together in silence before they retired to their beds. It was supposed to be a 'big' day for Naruto, Itachi had been able to arrange getting him into a team where he would be able to train and seem like a normal boy wanting to become a ninja.


Naruto left extra early the next morning to train before he had to go meet his new team. He wasn't really looking forward to it; he had to hide some of his skills because Itachi had signed him in as a new trainee. After practicing for 2 hours he made his way to a big oak tree where he was to train with others. Naruto jumped into the tree and awaited their arrival.

It didn't take long before a girl approached the tree. She had pink hair and green eyes and seemed pepped up for the day. A few minutes later a man appeared, he was holding a book and had grey hair. "Kakashi-sensei! Have you seen Sasuke yet?" The man Naruto know knew as Kakashi shook his head.

"He'll be here soon, he never come too late."

As if he was heard a boy with raven hair approached the tree. Naruto knew exactly who he was. He knew that Itachi's brother would be in the village but he didn't know he was in the same team as him. When Sasuke got closer Kakashi told them someone new would be joining the team. The girl grinned and clapped her hands.

"Oh then I hope it'll be another girl! I get tired of hanging around only boys." She said.

Naruto smirked; it was time for his entrance.

"Well I guess you'll be disappointed 'cause I happen to be a boy." The girl and Sasuke looked around but Kakashi looked up in the tree. "Come down please" Naruto jumped out of the tree and landed next to Kakashi.

The girl immediately ran to him and shook his hand. Disgusted he pulled it away and turned to Kakashi. He introduced himself as Kenji and Kakashi in turn introduced him to Sasuke and the girl, Sakura. Naruto didn't like Sakura, way too hyper and he hated her hair color. But Sasuke interested him; he was quiet like his brother and only glared at Naruto who stuck his tongue out at him.

They then started to train and Naruto was quickly bored, but kept on acting like he was having fun. Kakashi was teaching them to use Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Sakura was struggling with it but when Kakashi asked Naruto to try it he did it perfectly. It was a jutsu he had learned years before. When the day ended Naruto was happy it was over and made his way back to his house.

To his disappointment Sakura ran after him and asked if he wanted to join her and Sasuke to get something to eat.

"No, now leave me alone." Naruto walked further and Sakura stopped in her tracks and crossed her arms.

"What a hot head." She said as Sasuke approached. He only watched Kenji walk away and didn't listen to Sakura.

After he got home Naruto sat down on his bed and sighed. He wasn't planning on becoming friends with these people. Deidara came into the room and greeted him, Naruto only shrugged when he asked how his day was. His first day had been incredibly boring and he was glad he didn't have to meet his team again.

Late that night Naruto left the village and went to the forest to train more for himself.

He stopped when he heard twigs snap behind him and he growled. He waited a few seconds until another twig snapped and jumped in that direction. He was surprised when he saw he had jumped on Sasuke.

"What are you doing here?!" Naruto snarled as he got off of the raven haired boy.

"I just wanted to ask you the same question. It doesn't look like you're a newbie. You seem good enough to at least be a Chunnin." Again Naruto snarled and stated he had already had some lessons but not enough to be as good as Sasuke said he was.

He then left without saying goodbye and made his way back to the village.

'Oh kit is mad!' Kyuubi snickered and Naruto told him to shut up, he wasn't in the mood for anything anymore. Sasuke stayed where he was and thought about the new kid, there was something different about him and Sasuke was determined to find out what it was no matter what.


I changed it a little so don't freak out if it's different! xD Review and make me happy!! ^^
