I use to have an account on fanfic under the name Kaliff and I've written 1 story before - but I err never finished it!! Be kind, this is a second go!! (Not the same story) Declaimer: I don't own Naruto!! Wish I did but no...
Prolog!!
It was 2 years after Kyuubi had attacked the Leaf Village and many things had changed. The graveyard was larger and the Villagers were focusing all their anger onto one person. 2 year old Uzamki(s?) Naruto. Naruto had been picked on since his birth! He had no friends, didn't understand what a really family and what love was. He was currently living on the streets. He's caretaker had abandoned him, he was all alone. The 3rd Hokage was just too busy dealing with the after mass of the attack (yep, he's still dealing with it!!) to personally care for the little blonde like he wants to.
It was not long after his current caretaker abandoned Naruto to the streets that a small group of travelling monks passed through the Village. The monks stopped and visited everyone in the Village, checking over their health and 'purity' of soul. Whilst they were doing this, the eldest of them all found poor Naruto; who was huddling in an ally street corner covered in filth. Being the kind soul that he was, the monk (Katora) gently picked up the under-sized 2 years old and called the others ove
As a group, the monks went to the nearest bathhouse and cleans the blonde up. Once clean, they could all see the true extend of damage done to the infant. To say the least, they were appalled. Naruto didn't cry or say a word during all of this. Katora asked the infant - not really expecting a reply, but the blonde whispered in a rusty under-used voice, "Everweone saths tha filth wike me sthoodn't talk or cwy. Juth dwe (die)."
The 2 year old's words broke the monks' hearts and they knew they had to do something. So, they went to the Hokage and begged him to allow them to take Naruto with them. "Please!!" they pleaded. "We will care for his very need! He will know love, compassion and kindness! He will be able to defend himself and he won't be bitter or hateful of this Village!!" The monks were practically in tears. "After 10 or so years he can return!! He will be the best ninja you have ever had! He will know all there is to know about chakra! And jutsus! Please just let us care for him like parents should!"
Unable to prevent Naruto's happiness, the Hokage agreed. "I will see you in 14 years, little one," he whispered to the blonde.
"14, Hokage-sama?" Kotara murmured.
"Yes, 14 years. He can return when he is 16. Konoha is no longer under 'War Status'. This generation will finish Ninja Academy at 16. That is when Naruto should return... In 14 years..."
Smiling, Kotara relied - holding baby Naruto close, "Yes, in 14 years..."
