Chapter 1- Prologue
Naruto walked alongside one Hatake Kakashi the copy cat ninja as they exited the leaf village. Naruto a six year old boy was going to undertake a six year training mission so he could get stronger. You might say why a kid should be training at such a young age. Naruto had many reasons to start training at this age. The main reason was because Iwa now knew who he was. He was the son of the yellow flash and the red death. Kakashi had showed him a bingo book, the reason being because his name was now in it. Kakashi knew who his parents had been for so long but he himself did not know until that fateful day three days ago.
Naruto remembered it like it was clear as day. He had been happy to know who his parents were after so long. There is always a down side though because Iwa was now after him, he had to make sure he grew stronger in the years to come to protect himself and the people he cared about.
The day marked a new day in age for him. It showed him what he must do and what he needed to do to make sure the next time he was attacked by Iwa they would not know what hit them.
"Iwa better watch out after my training is complete they will have the right to fear me" Naruto thought. Kakashi looked down at his charge who was lost in his thoughts at the moment. Kakashi knew if he had been a moment late Naruto would have been dead. He was glad that he finally was on time for once.
"Naruto we are going to start your training by finding your chakra source and then we will work on chakra control once we reach Tanzaku Gai" Kakashi said. Naruto did not hear him though as his thoughts replayed everything that happened on the day the Iwa ninja's attacked him.
(Flashback)
That night was so cold as I had walked the main street of Konoha as it neared midnight. I did not think anything would happen because the civilians were sound asleep, and he had not seen any ninja in sight. He had let his guard down which he would never do again not even with friends around. His walk was uneventful but he expected as much but what happened next made him think twice about that. A kunai whizzed by his head but Naruto did not turn to see his attacker because that would be utter ridicules, so he ran.
He ran for his life down many side streets and back ally's trying to get away from his assailants who were chasing him. After twenty minutes of non stop running he had grown tired but he would not stop. He knew they were still right on his trail, they had not gotten any closer then they were before so he knew he was just being played with.
It made him ticked off and he felt scared beyond belief but he would not give of on trying to escape. Lucky for him his cross country run around the village was spotted by a dog masked anbu.
I ran into one of the training grounds, not knowing which on but I did not care because the guy was still after him. I finally got the courage to face him so I turned around to confront him. That was a mistake but also a victory because it gave the anbu time to catch up with their position.
"I screamed at the top of my lunges for the guys to come out because they were not fooling anyone. When they had come out he had noticed they were ninja but not from Konoha. He did not know what kind of ninja they were but they had a headband.
The guys had looked creepy enough with their extending grins on each of their faces. It almost made him sick to his stomach by how ugly they looked. The scars on their faces did them no justice. They say scars attract women, he knew these guys were not getting any girls soon with those type of scars. They were probably all virgins even though they had looked almost thirty years old. He did not have much time to think though as on of the ninja stepped forth which he guessed was the leader of the group of four.
"I guess the Intel we got of the yondaime having a son was accurate to bad you won't see the light of day again" the ninja said evily. He had looked at the ninja like he was utter trash and nothing more the reason being was because he had been an orphan ever since he could remember.
"I don't know what you mean I have been an orphan ever since I was little" he told the ninja before him. He thought they were stupid to ever suggest that he was the son of the yondaime hokage his idol.
The ninja just stared at me when I told them this. They thought that this kid must be messing with them, but they saw no lie present on Naruto's expression.
"You were never told, that is great because now no one will care if a no named orphan were to die" the ninja chuckled as they all started to advance on my position. I knew I could not have escape no matter how hard I tried so I excepted might fate. They started to beat me into a inch of my life. The leader then stood over top of me ready to finish it off as I continued to bleed as I laid on my back staining the green grass below me. The ninja above him had no expression on his face but it was clear that he was angry at him for some reason.
"Why are you doing this to me" I had said. The ninja above me just chuckled as he brought out a fresh kunai for the finishing blow.
"I might as well tell you, the yondaime decimated our forces in the third shinobi war and now we will pay him back by killing you his son, Iwa will have their revenge" the Iwa ninja growled out. The ninja their to kill him though were not sent their by Iwa they did this of their own accord but Naruto did not know this.
I looked between all three ninja around me as the one above brought his kunai down to take me out in one clean hit. I had closed my eyes just waiting for the enviable end. I missed it though as my eyes were shut, screaming echoed in my ears from all three Iwa ninja. The screaming had abruptly stopped moments later.
When I opened my eyes I was shocked beyond belief because an anbu stood next to my form on the ground still bleeding. Though that wasn't what shocked me the most, what shocked me were the three dead Iwa ninja in the grass in a pool of their own blood.
That was when I first met Inu-san the person who saved my life and became a good friend of mine all in one night. He had lifted me up and carried me to the hospital.
All I remembered after that was waking up in the hospital with Inu-san and Jiji standing next to my bed keeping watch over me. They had explained to me about my parents once I told them I knew the truth anyway.
"I need to become stronger Jiji so that I can defend myself" I told the hokage who looked at my prone form on the bed. The hokage knew I was right so he decided to give me some training but he would not be the one to train me no it would be the anbu next to him. The anbu removed his mask and introduced himself as Kakashi Hatake but I would not find out his special name of being the copy ninja until the following day.
I had got out of the hospital the day I was supposed to be starting my training so I headed to the hokage tower to discuss what my training entailed but when I got their I had to wait an hour till Kakashi got their. It made me mad that my training could not start right away so I just sat on the couch in the office moping until the guy got their.
I had waited for two hours which I should have only had to wait one. Once Kakashi had walked through the door I had tried to kneel him in the gut but he caught it effortless before he pulled me by my shirt to stand with him.
The hokage had told us what my training would entail. It would be a six year long training trip but first I had to decide what I wanted to train on like what would be my field of expertise. I did not know at the time and still don't but I still have one day left to figure it out so no worries. The hokage had told me to take my time in deciding because it was crucial to pick something that I was good with.
After the explanation was given they left the hokage tower. I needed new equipment besides the beat up weapons and the torn clothes I now wore because I did not have enough money to buy any new clothes.
Kakashi had let me pick anything out I wanted, my choice of clothes were a dark blue shirt with baggy black anbu pants which could hold many scrolls with the amount of pockets it had. I got four pairs of these clothes before we went to the weapon shop. I picked a set of kunai and shuriken, plus the holsters to hold them. Kakashi told me I needed to pick a weapon. I searched the shelves deciding which one would be right for me but none caught my attention until I spotted a white thin katana at the end of the shelf. I walked towards it like it was drawing me in. He did not know it at the time but the weapon would be one of the best choices he would ever chose in his life.
"I finally found a weapon which feels just right" I had thought gripping the weapon by the handle but I did not draw it yet because Kakashi grabbed it from me paying for it at the counter.
He told me to put on a pair of the new clothes and strap the weapons on himself in their respective places. I did as I was told, as I came out of my apartment with everything set and ready to go we headed to the gate passing many civilians and ninja alike. We passed the gate once we handed the gate guards papers letting them know why we were leaving.
Now here we are traveling away from Konoha but not to fast since I am only six years old. Also because of the ten pound weights that were placed on my arms and legs under the new clothes I bought. Kakashi told him to wear them at all times but at night take them off to get my muscles adjusted to the changes.
(Flashback end)
Naruto was broken out of his thoughts by Kakashi who nudged him in the arm.
"You were awfully quiet, we just arrived you must have been in deep thought" Kakashi said eye smiling at him. Naruto looked on shocked as he saw the town coming up from in the distance.
"Was I really out of it for that long" Naruto asked dumb founded by his lack of awareness. He thought they were no were close to the village but was proven wrong. Naruto sighed as he continued to walk alongside Kakashi.
"Yep, you were out of it for a good three hours. What was on your mind?" Kakashi asked. Naruto turned his sights to the ground wondering if he should tell him. He knew he needed to trust Kakashi though with his thoughts if he was going to be able to learn anything from him.
"I had what happened a couple days ago on my mind, I guess I still can't get over what happened" Naruto replied. He did not want to look weak in front of anyone he was a strong minded person.
Kakashi saw the down ridden expression on his face so he decided to lighten the mood up a bit.
"That's fine if you were thinking about it but just don't let revenge consume you for what those Iwa ninja did to you because you need to stay strong like I did when I lost my best friend in the third ninja war against Iwa and Kumo" Kakashi said. He did not want revenge he just wanted enough training to defend himself from all danger while protecting his friends with both hands.
"Don't worry Kakashi-sensei I don't have revenge on my mind. The only thing I have on my mind is to get stronger to protect everyone I can and to defend myself when I'm in danger" Naruto told him honestly. Revenge was just a pathetic excuse to attack the one's who did them wrong.
Kakashi nodded eye smiling while he patted Naruto on the back as they approached the outskirts of the village.
"Your training starts tomorrow so make sure you have your mind made up on what field or fields you want to be taught the most in. Today we are going to find a hotel and get us a room to relax a day before your training will commence" Kakashi said leading him into the town of Tanzaku Gai.
The town although a bit small still seemed like a lively place to live not to many people but just the right amount roaming the streets.
"I won't be in the town for long though I will be training most of my time until we move on to a new area of training" Naruto thought giddy. He wanted to travel all over not to just train but to see the elemental nations.
His train of thought was cut off as Kakashi ushered him into a hotel he found.
"Took him long enough to find a hotel, It doesn't matter though as long as I get stronger" Naruto thought. He walked into the hotel to relax the rest of the day. The day quickly vanished as the night approached but Naruto did not notice this as he slept soundly all day long. Kakashi was sitting in a recliner reading his Ichi Ichi book completely cut off from the outside world at the moment.
A sensei and his student soon to be unrivaled in power but for now they relaxed the day and night away.
