-1Ok, So this is my first fic, so be nice. I got the Idea from the fact that Pein looks eerily similar to Naruto, and also that Nagato(original Pein) looks a little like Kushina, at least to me. So what if they actually are related? That would give Naruto the potential of the Rin'negan.

An five year old Naruto was running down one of the more obscure streets of Konoha, trying to out run the mob that was slowly advancing on him. They of course had to pick today of all days to attack him, as the Sandaime was out of the village on diplomatic matters and there appeared to be no ANBU around. It truly looked like it was the end of this poor boy.
Shout of 'Kill the Demon!', 'It's time to finish what the Yondaime began!', and 'Get out of our village Kyubi brat!' could be heard all around him. It appeared as if they had encircled him as he was looking for a way out. This time, he was royally screwed.
Soon enough, the villages were upon him. Brandishing kitchen knives, pitchforks, and the occasional ragged kunai, the crowd began to rake into the poor child, tearing his flesh. Then came the punches and the kicks, breaking bones with only a hit or two. Crying out in pain with every hit, Naruto slowly began to slip into unconsciousness., however, in his last few seconds in the waking world, Naruto glimpsed two small figures jumping in between him and the crowd.

As Naruto slowly came back into consciousness, he saw that he was laying flat in what eerily looked like a sewer. Raising himself up in the knee deep sewage water that he had previously laid in, Naruto began to look around with a confused expression on his face. However, his musing suddenly stopped, when he sensed an ridiculously strong chakra signature down the twists and turns of the sewage system.
Following the nearly infinite paths of the labyrinth, Naruto soon found himself in front of a pair of large wrought iron cell door that had a slip of paper with the kanji of 'seal' in the center, where the two doors met. Feeling the immense chakra source from before, Naruto tried seeing into the pitch blackness of the cage, only to see nothing.
Waiting for a full five minutes, Naruto began to turn around to begin looking for a way out, when a loud, booming and demonic voice call out to him. "Hold it there, Kit, I wish to speak to you."
Turning back around, Naruto was immediately frozen in fear. Staring back at him through the cell doors was a giant fox with large, unblinking crimson eyes and a Cheshire grin of razor sharp teeth. Now, it was not really hard to figure out who this creature was considering the circumstances, it was only that Naruto was completely shocked. "H-H-H-How… is it… p-p-possible? Y-y-you're d-d-dead!" Naruto stuttered, not believing his eyes.
"Ah, so you know who I am, good boy. And here I thought that I would have to explain it to you" the Kyubi chuckled at his bumbling host, "But that is not so, no Bijuu is capable of being killed. So, your foolish Yondaime settled for sealing it with in a new born baby… You."
Falling over at this revelation, Naruto began to weep, no longer scared of the Kyubi. "So, I really am a Demon! They were all right, I have no right to live!" Naruto cried out, only angering the demon fox. It was one thing for those despicable ningen to believe that, he wouldn't have his host believing that too. He would pay for his own sins alone and not drag this innocent child into the darkness with him
"Don't say that, Kit! They have no right to say that! You are merely my jailer," The Kyubi nearly shouted at the young child, he would not have his kit saying that type of shit about himself "But now, to the matter at hand. We will deal with the other stuff later, Kit. It is time that you unlock your true self."
"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, curiosity getting the better of him in this instant. It was not often that anybody offered to make him stronger. After all nobody really cared for him enough to actually teach him something. They all were just to busy most of the time.
"I mean, it is time that you unlock your hidden heritage; suppressed since your birth with a special seal." Kyubi stated in a way to serious voice , it was finally time for the boy to become what he truly was "That is of course, unless you wish for the Hyuuga and the Uchiha to die."
That must have been who he saw when he passed out, he thought. It must have been Sasuke and Hinata, as they were ones of his few precious people. He could not allow them to die; it would be all his fault if their dreams died. "Very well, Kyubi-sama. Let's do this," Naruto said in a voice eerily calm for his normal self, "What do I have to do?"
"Glad you see the truth, Kit. You don't have to do anything, however, this is going to hurt like a bitch, so just bear with me for a bit, OK?"
However, before he could respond, Naruto became enveloped with the Kyubi's signature red chakra as it poured underneath the cage. Letting out an ear-splitting scream, Naruto, was racked with excruciating pain; a thousand times what he had ever experienced with the villagers. It seemed to go on for ages, and yet it suddenly stopped the same way it began. Falling to the floor, Naruto slipped into unconsciousness again. As he slept once again, he heard the kyubi's last cryptic message.
"Until we meet again, my host… don't go and get yourself killed."

With Naruto out cold, it left Hinata and Sasuke to defend his lifeless body. Activating her Byakugan, Hinata slipped into the familiar jyuuken stance, attacking any villagers that got to close. Pulling out two kunai from his pouch, Sasuke charged head first into the crowd incapacitating everyone within his short reach. However, what they failed to miss was that Naruto began to glow a faint and eerie red, steadily getting brighter.
As they continued to keep the mob at bay, Sasuke and Hinata slowly but surely began to over exert themselves, tiring out prematurely. Within only five minutes after Naruto had been knocked unconscious, Hinata and Sasuke were nestled in a heap by the villagers, ready to be put out of their misery for being 'Demon Lovers'. However, as they were about to end it, they also noticed the brilliant crimson glow coming off of the demon container's body. Mesmerized, the villagers as well as Hinata and Sasuke could only stare. Then, in a blinding flash of crimson, the body of Naruto was gone, no where to be seen.
Laughing could be heard all around them and then in another flash, Naruto once again stood before them; this time a little different. His hideous and obnoxious orange monstrosity clung in mismatched tatters on his new form, appearing way to small for his new height of about five feet four inches. His skin seemed to have de-tanned a little bit bringing it to a pale creamy white, and any baby fat appeared to have dissolved from his body. His once wild spiky sun kissed hair seemed to have darkened a tad, flowing down his face in spiky waves. However, what garnered most people's attention was his eyes; his iris' a shimmering silver in the moonlight with three concentric black rings around the pupils. The Rin'negan had finally been awakened.
"Now, who wants to go first?" Naruto asked in the same eerily calm voice with a touch of cockiness. They would pay for what they did to him. They would pay for being ignorant. But most importantly, they would pay for hurting his precious people. Jumping into action, Naruto cocked back his fist, ushering a loud war at the crowd. It was time for some much needed revenge.
As Naruto took aim for his first punch, he could almost sense the fear emanating off of the villagers. He smirked, that'll show them not to mess with him or his friends. Connecting with a shattering left hook to a villagers jaw, it was effectively broken. Dropping down into a sloppy Taijutsu stance, Naruto began to encircle Sasuke and Hinata, protecting them from the angry mob.
Striking out at all those that took even an inch nearer to him than they already were, Naruto was breaking bones at an accelerated rate. Hook, Cross, Jab, Roundhouse, butterfly; repeating over and over again, Naruto was able to put nearly half of the villagers out of commission in under ten minutes. It seemed like Naruto would win against the villagers this time, however, he now realized that some of them had prior shinobi training; spelling trouble for the trio of six year olds.
Taking out the kunai and multiple shuriken from his pouches, Naruto flung the shuriken and charged the nearest victim with his kunai, trying to slash their throat. Grabbing his arm, Naruto's opponent flung him back into the circle knocking him flat on his back next two his two friends. As the villagers slowly began to encircle the three once more, Naruto tried in vain to raise himself up only to fall back once more, 'Damn…I can't get up, all of those hits I took before must have really done me in. I can already feel my energy slipping away.' Naruto thought as he tried to raise himself once more, 'But, I have to fight back, if I don't… Sasuke and Hinata are goners…I need more Power!' Naruto was nearly shouting inside his mind now.

As the Kyuubi tried to rest once more inside of his confined territory, he began to hear faint whispers of his tenant's thoughts. At first, he just passed these off as random thoughts as he tried to get comfortable, but as these thoughts began to get louder and louder Kyuubi became more interested. It seemed as if his tenant was fairing well for a while, but now… not so much. Naruto would need some of his own chakra if he was to survive this encounter. Kyuubi chuckled darkly as he let his chakra seep underneath the doors.
"Have fun with this Kit… make them pay!"

The angry mob began their better of the poor children once again, punching and kicking the innocent, trying to finally put them out of their misery. However, as one of the townsfolk came forward to deal the final strike to our final hero, Naruto's body gave off a sickly demonic red glow. The pure killing intent rolling off the boy would put most seasoned veterans to shame. Nearly tripping over each other as they fled in fear, the mob watched as Naruto once again rose to his feet, this time his eyes a deep blood red, with a slit like pupil intersecting the circles.
Slowly walking forward, Naruto watched in satisfaction as his enemies ran in fear of him. Unleashing a blood-curdling roar, Naruto sent his massive chakra store out into a single devastating wave of pure energy, knocking down everything in a hundred yard radius of where he was standing. Sending his opponents flying, he chuckled darkly as the remainder of the crowd high-tailed it out of there. "Now you know not to mess with me or my precious people," Naruto stated to no one in particular.
Turning back towards his downed friends, Naruto saw that they only suffered from small wounds and would be ok by the end of the next day. Carefully placing Sasuke on his back, Naruto then preceded to pick Hinata up bridal-style, bringing them back to their respective clan compounds.
After leaving Sasuke with his older brother at his district gates, Naruto then began the trek to the Hyuuga compound with Hinata still in his arms. Walking at a swift, yet gentle pace, Naruto reached the Hyuuga's gates in under five minutes from leaving the Uchiha District. It was also at this time that Hinata slowly began to stir, "N..N..Naruto-kun?"
Looking down on his friend, Naruto now noticed that Hinata's eyes where open now. "Hello Hinata-chan, it looks like you are finally awake," he said with his signature foxy grin adorning his face, "Don't worry your safe now. Your home." Just then, Naruto dropped down in front of the Main branch's front door, and letting her stand up with his help.
"Thank you Naruto-kun, you saved my life," Hinata replied with her own devious smile plastered on her face. However, finally get her first good look of the new Naruto, Hinata gasped in Surprise, "N..Na..Naruto-kun, what happened to you?" Her curiosity was now peeked.
"I'm not really sure Hinata-chan," Naruto responded looking himself over, "I think I may have to ask Oji-san about this." Naruto was now just staring into his hands, this was all way to much to take in for only a five year-old boy. 'To think, Oji-san knew all this time, and he never told me… or tried to break the seal' Then, Naruto's smirk became filled with murderous glee, 'He's going to have a lot of explaining to do the next time I see him'
"Are you ok, Naruto-kun," Hinata inquired, worried that her friend was sad or something. Looking him in the eyes, Hinata got another surprise this evening; they were deep grey with circles around the pupil, it was kind of creepy.
"I'm fine Hinata-chan," Naruto stated trying to calm her, while looking her in the eye. Then seeing her surprise, Naruto responded once more, "Don't be frightened by my eyes Hinata-chan, they are just a part of my true self," Sighing, Naruto said his goodbye to one of his only friends, "It is getting late, and you need rest now, as I must go and see Oji-san to get answers. Goodbye, Hinata-chan." With that, Naruto jumped off without letting her respond,; within seconds he was out of her sight range in the direction of the Hokage tower
'Naruto has a Doujutsu!?' Hinata thought as she slowly made her way inside of the house and towards her wing. Paying no attention to the stares that she received from the various branch and main house members that she passed, Hinata made a beeline for her room. Once in side, Hinata plopped down on her futon and drifted into a restless sleep, plagued by dreams of mysterious eyes and feral looking men.

Landing down safely on the street in front of the tower, Naruto mimicked the seals that he copied from one of his ANBU guards, so that he could gain his old appearance once again. Making sure that it was flaw-less, the disguised Naruto made his way up to the Hokage's office.
As he made is way up the stairs, Naruto eventually stood in front of the Hokage's secretary, "hello, Izumi-chan, is Oji-san here," Naruto asked the one secretary who was always nice to him. Looking up from her work, Izumi smiled at the young blonde boy before her, "yes, Naruto, Hokage-sama just got back a little while ago. Go right on in."
Smiling back at her, Naruto nodded as he headed into the office of the Hokage. Looking around as he usually did, Naruto spotted the Hokage over by a bookcase on the far wall looking at a book that appeared to be old Konoha laws from the past century. Walking into the center of the room, Naruto used his old obnoxious voice to gain the wizened old Hokage's attention, " Oji-san! It's good to see you back." Startling the old man like he thought he would, Naruto watched as the Hokage jumped about five feet in the air and turned around to stare at him.
"Ah, Naruto-kun, it's good to see you," The Sandaime Hokage said in a jovial voice filled with mirth. Smiling at the young boy before him, Sarutobi decided that it was the best decision to figure out why he was here, so that he could get back to work, "So, Naruto-kun, what is it that has you here so late?"
Flashing his signature foxy grin, Naruto chuckled mischievously, "Well, you see, there are a number of factors that have contributed to my ending up here." here he was full out laughing, making the Hokage a little uneasy. "First I was attacked by the villagers when you were still out of the village, and," Naruto stated, dropping the henge that he had placed on himself, making the Hokage gasp, "the fox unleashed the suppression seal placed on me, unlocking my true self. Now it's time to explain yourself."
This was not good. Definitely not good. Staring at the boy before him now, the Hokage began to visibly sweat at this moment, this was a talk he had hoped he would never have to have…
