Note! This is a reload, I edited some things and made Sasuke and Itachi have a sister :) No longer Tsubaki Shii, but Tsubaki Uchiha.

Author's Note; First third person project since ... 2008-2010, I hope it's good!

Warning!; Gore/Blood lust/AU/Dark-Insane Naruto/OOC Sasuke (No Uchiha Massacre) and a completely OOC Kyuubi! Kyuubi will have lost all hatred unless it's towards the people who caused his jailor such harm, physically, emotionally or mentally. Very protective too.

Shoudai civilian merchant clan will have a Ninja upstart (Like in Sakura's case) and that will come up later. As for looks for the child, I'll also put up in the chapter it comes up in for I'm still thinking about how she's going to look right now.

There's no pairings in this story, just to let you all know. And yes, I'm going to be rewriting Mistress Mary quite Contrary nursery rhyme to fit the story and this world. I hope everyone likes it! I'll be creating my own stuff for Naruto to say randomly after that one

And before I forget, you'll see something in Japanese, here's the translation before you read; Chakra no Yousa Sousa (Translation; Chakra Element Manipulation) Doton; Earth, Suiton; Water, Katon; Fire, Fuuton; Wind, Raiton; Lightning; Hyoton; Ice and Futton; Boil.

At first, I was going to have just the four elements and no sub elements like the kekkei genkai already used, but that'd be too similar to Avatar so I changed it up a bit :) I hope you all enjoy!

Prologue

The Nightmare Begins … Eight Years Earlier

Naruto couldn't help it, he was six years old, and he couldn't help but notice how everyone in the village hated him. Well, except for jiji, he loved jiji, because jiji always saw him as a somebody and wouldn't spit on him, look at him with a cold stare, glare at him with icy hatred. No, jiji looked at him with kindness, something the six year old boy hadn't known until last year when jiji found him in an alley, freezing and sick because he had been in the weather.

From then on, Naruto was fond of jiji, even though the old man was always busy.

"Hey, Naruto-kun, what's on your mind?" The old man, known to Naruto as jiji but to others as Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, asked from behind his desk that was piled high with paperwork that needed to be sorted out before the end of the day.

"Jiji-san, may I have my own place?" The six year old asked, suddenly shocking the old man who nearly dropped his pipe at the question, but he remained calm and sighed heavily.

"Are you sure Naruto-kun?" He asked the small boy, and when the boy nodded with a wide grin on his face, the old man sighed as he stood up out of his comfy chair and picked up the six year old, then walked to the roof of the Hokage office and the two stayed there for a little bit, watching over the scenery of the village as it bustled with life.

"Jiji … why does no one like me?" Naruto asked in a low voice, a voice that sounded older than it should have been and it broke the Hokage's heart every time he heard Naruto speak like that.

"I don't know Naruto, I don't know." He said, but he knew, of course, but by decree, he wouldn't tell the six year old until he knew he could handle the truth. And since he knew Naruto well in the year he took him in, he knew Naruto would forgive him for not telling him right away.

Later that day, Jiji decided that Naruto could at least have an apartment close by so that he could be watched over closely because, as a civilian at the moment, he couldn't have ANBU guards. Hence, the close location even though it was a couple blocks away towards the east of the Hokage tower. It was the best he could do.

"Here's your new home, Naruto-kun." The Hokage smiled as he brought the six year old to the furnished, but small, studio apartment that was complete with a bed already made, dressers already filled with clothes for the growing boy -even though it was small- and a refrigerator filled with food that the Hokage would have filled once a week with someone he hired -though very secretly- as a body guard to the young blonde haired, blue eyed boy as the Hokage set the boy down and watched him run around his new home giggling happily.

Smiling, the Hokage stepped in and closed the door, he could stay here for about an hour before he had to get back to his office and clock out of work for the day, the paperwork finished with thanks of his Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. He couldn't also help but have one of his clones have fun with Naruto for a little bit, he is a kid after all.

"Thank you jiji-san!" The six year old laughed loudly, running up to the Hokage and clung to one of his legs in happiness.

Hiruzen only smiled and rubbed the little boy's blonde hair before he showed Naruto that there was a television on top of his dresser at the foot of his bed where also there was a bucket filled with toys that the child had played with in his office, and spent his hour playing with the boy and making him a healthy dinner of baked fish, rice, omelet and stir fried vegetables before he left, knowing full well that Naruto would clean up after himself, make sure everything was put back where it was, cleaned. He raised a good boy, after all, in the year that Naruto stayed with him.

Though, Naruto, once he knew jiji was far out of sight, let the smile fade from his lips, let down the mask he tried to hold onto for so long for the old man that helped him so much, and slowly ate the food he made. But after a few bites, he couldn't stomach anymore because of his guilt in lying to the only person that cared for him, by saying he was happy.

It didn't take long for the villagers to find out that the blonde haired, blue eyed boy got himself an apartment thanks to the Hokage, but the ones that were really against it, grew angry at the fact that the "child" was doing nothing but milking everything that their leader had for selfish reasons. And the ones that truly despised the child, wanted to do something about it.

So, after a month of Naruto living on his own, proving that he can take care of himself to Jiji-san, and proving very well, still had yet to notice that there was a guard watching his every move to make sure he was safe from harm. Though the guard knew he couldn't be known to the boy because then -both the ANBU and Sarutobi- would know that Naruto would think that Jiji-san didn't trust him at all and start to grow distant.

There had been two break ins on Naruto's small studio apartment -both while the boy wasn't home- three kidnappings while the ANBU was trying to be out of sight of the blue eyed boy and the ANBU cursed himself for letting it happen at all. But at least Naruto was found safe and hadn't been hurt yet. Naruto had also been found beaten when the ANBU once lost sight of the boy when Naruto was running around the village chasing a cat with a ribbon on its right ear, laughing like the child he is.

But what happened next, when it was October 10th, was nothing no one looked forward to.

It had been a normal day, Hiruzen was told early morning that he had a meeting around five because the civilian council had wanted to talk to him about some village remodeling that also required the heads of all clans to be there as well because it'd affect them as well.

So far, the day went well, Hiruzen even got his paperwork done earlier than usual thanks to his Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, and all he could think about was how he'd spend the evening after his meeting with Naruto before calling it a day.

Naruto, who had chased the cat with a ribbon on her right ear once again through the entire village, was exhausted and passed out on his bed, curled in a ball and sucking on his thumb like any child his age would do, except for whimpering painfully and in terror in his sleep. And the look on his face, made the ANBU guard he had want to jump from his hiding place to see if he was okay, but Sarutobi-Hokage would just get furious, and he had seen Sarutobi-Hokage furious before, and he never wanted to see that again. At least it wasn't as bad as when his old, departed sensei when he was beyond the ark of rage … especially with his girlfriend. Just the memory of her anger sent a shudder down his spine.

Turning in his sleep, Naruto frowned, face scrunched up in what could be seen as pain, but if they could only see what the boy was dreaming.

Naruto shivered, where he was, was very cold and all he could do, was follow the sound of dripping water down a tunnel where there was a glowing red light. Honestly, Naruto didn't want to go there, but usually red associated with heat, and if there was heat, he'd go there straight away, no matter what the danger.

When Naruto reached the end of the tunnel, he gasped when he saw a large, open space with water on the floor that reached half way up his shins and before him, was a giant cage that the bars were spread wide enough for three of him to fit through, but he reluctantly stayed away, especially when a gigantic eyeball opened up and stared right at him, though to him, it was almost like it stared right through him.

"So, you were finally able to make it here, I congratulate you on that matter. No one as young as you usually find me so quickly inside their mindscape." The owner of the giant eye said, standing up and giving Naruto a full view; a giant red furred fox with nine tails.

"You … you're who all the villagers and shin obi call me …" Naruto whispered, but still, it was loud enough for the fox to hear him, who barked out a laugh.

"They're fools, bakayo, you are not me, you are my jailor, warden and life line to your world." The fox laughed, making the boy jerk back because of its force, but other than that, Naruto wasn't scared of him anymore, in fact, he was happy. "Don't get cocky too soon brat."

"But, I'm just happy because Jiji-san was right." Naruto said happily as the fox then laid back down, keeping his head up as he looked down at the blonde boy.

"Alright, first, since you're here I may as well tell you, you're going to be in a world of hurt, tonight. I don't know how, but I'm getting that vibe from the villagers and fellow shinobi. I don't know how, or when, but I want you to be prepared."

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked, now concerned.

"Like I told you, I don't know how, or when." The fox said. "I can't have my host dying on me."

"Thank you, Kyuubi." Naruto said with a small smile. "'ttebayo, you're not like how the villagers say you are."

"That's because then, I was being controlled, but they'll learn soon enough." The fox sighed with a small yawn before resting his head on his hand-like paws. "That reminds me, I have a birthday present for you later, it's going to take some time so be patient okay?"

"Kyuubi, so thoughtful." Naruto laughed, running up to the fox and gave his paw a squeeze, shocking the monstrosity of a demon for a change before it had to hide a smirk.

"Go get some sleep, brat." Kyuubi said before he tossed Naruto out of his mindscape.

The blonde jolted awake when the door to his apartment crashed open, showing a mob rushing in and circling the little boy who was trying to cower into a corner, the entire conversation he had with Kyuubi completely forgotten because of his fear of the villagers, who most of them were swaying slightly and carrying sake bottles in hand.

"Get it!" Someone yelled from the front of the crowd that Naruto noticed, and remembered being a shinobi because Naruto distinctly remembered the man using a water type jutsu to try and drown him one time.

That was when the entire mob grabbed Naruto, pulling him up by his hair, his clothes, and his limbs while tearing at the pieces of clothing before throwing the boy out of the window and onto the street where more of the mob was waiting for the boy, who landed with a loud thud on the ground before rolling a couple times, just before he stopped at the mobs feet.

Taking a gasp to try and get oxygen back into his lungs, Naruto coughed a couple of times, groaning because gravel and dirt dug deep into his arms, legs and face. He even felt that his left leg was broken badly because that was the leg he landed on when he was thrown from the second story window.

That's when the mob went down on the boy, stomping on his already, still, fragile limbs until they snapped, but what hurt more, was that his body was trying to repair itself at the same speed as it was being destroyed.

But Naruto refused to make a sound, not even a grunt. He knew that it would hurt, but no one got the satisfaction of hearing him in pain. Not even a whimper.

So, when the mob got sick and tired of not hearing anything from the blonde boy, they dragged him to the top of Hokage mountain, tying him up with ninja wire as tight as they could, not caring that it cut into his flesh. He would have grunted then, if his mind wasn't fogged with the pain of everything trying to snap back together and mend itself at the same time.

"This beast had terrorized this village for far too many years! Now he's poisoned our Hokage into believing it's human! For that he must die!" A loud voice boomed into Naruto's ears, showing that the man that yelled with what had to be chakra enhanced vocals to be so loud in the first place. But what really got Naruto starting to panic, wasn't the fact that his eyes were swollen shut from his beating, but the fact that he was hanging in mid air off of something from the ninja wire tied around his wrists and that someone was dousing him in sake, that smelled a little off to him. And being seven, he had no clue that the sake was chakra enhanced to not burn away for quite some time.

The smell of the booze was choking Naruto, all he could do was try to breathe, but the fumes were really starting to get to him, until he heard some one say; Katon; Fire Ball Jutsu and the next second, he was engulfed in heat, searing heat that made him grind his teeth so hard they started to crack, until he finally let loose a scream filled with so much pain, at such a high volume, that the mob around him even silenced to hear it, but only for a few moments before they cheered at the boys pain.

Though the boy never knew it, but after he was beaten and tied, hanging in front of the Hokage mountain, was all a genjutsu cast onto him by a woman dressed in an ANBU uniform, her faced covered by a dog mask, and the mask covering a sinister grin, because she was the first to develop a genjutsu that can't be broken by a jinchuuriki unless she released the jutsu herself.

Hiruzen was getting beyond pissed. He had been sitting in this conference room for two hours, and so far, everything that the citizen council meeting with the ninja clan heads was … not what they told him.

They talked about nothing in particular; such as the weather, how everyone's families were doing, what they were doing with the upcoming holidays … holidays.

That's when Hiruzen snapped up onto his feet and glared daggers into the civilian council.

"What … in the name of Kami and Shodaime … did you do?" Hiruzen-Sandaime whispered so low, but loud enough to that everyone heard it, even the venom that the words were drenched in as he trembled in rage.

"Lord Hokage, is everything alright?" A man with a heavily scared face, known as Shikaku Nara, asked warily. Even he knew that the Hokage, if anyone said the wrong word, would unleash all his building up fury in a heart beat.

"Shikaku … what day is it?" Hiruzen-Hokage asked, eyes still not leaving the citizen council as he spoke. Oh, he enjoyed it when they all cringed away in their seats.

"Today's …" Shikaku started saying, before he stopped himself, shooting up to his feet as he glared at the citizen council just as hard as the Hokage. "Where is Naruto?"

That's when, one of the citizen council women stood up, her blonde hair pulled up in an elegant bun being held in place by pins, her form dressed in a neatly pressed, creaseless black and white kimono. And the look on her face, showed that she knew exactly what was going on just outside the closed windows.

"I, Hanabi Shoudai, have ordered the execution of Naruto Uzumaki as citizen judge of criminal defense." The woman said, as she introduced herself.

"On what fucking grounds do you have executing a six year old boy who has done nothing to you other than exist?" Hiruzen yelled at the top of his lungs, shocking everyone in the room so much that even Shikaku slid away from his own leader as the killing intent grew and continued to grow inside the room.

"I am judge for the citizens of this village. Naruto Uzumaki, is a citizen …" The woman started saying, until she was forced down when Inoichi Yamanaka, head of the Yamanaka clan, suddenly appeared behind her and placed a hand on her head.

"I would be quiet, and sit down before you find that I'll make you suffer mentally what you inflicted physically onto Naruto, and I would stay quiet." Inoichi growled into the woman's ear before she abruptly sat down. But Inoichi never moved away, or removed his hand from her head.

Just then, Fugaku Uchiha, stood up to open a window, hoping to Kami that it might let in some fresh air and at least distill the tension in the air. But when the window was open, they were all met with the most terrifying, pain drenched, suffocating scream they ever heard. And what's worse, it sounded like it came from a child.

"Shikaku, Fugaku, and Hiashi, you come with me at once. The rest of you, make sure no one leaves. If they leave, kill them." Hiruzen said quickly, but perfectly clear as him, and the three named ninja left the conference room and went straight to the roof of the Hokage tower to see if they could see where the cries were coming from. But, none of them expected it to come from right in front of the Yondaime's face of all places.

At first, when everyone saw the boy hanging by his wrists by means of ninja wire, watching him kicking and screaming like he was being burned alive. But what really got them, was that there seemed to be no break for the scream that Naruto was letting out, it was one, long, never ending scream that even sent Hiashi and Fugaku's spines shuddering in fear at what was going on.

At once, Fugaku and Hiashi activated their doujutsu, then concluded to the Hokage that Naruto was under a very powerful, and very S-ranked skilled genjutsu that not even they knew existed.

"Then it's most likely someone either in ANBU or someone working under Ibiki and he doesn't realize it. Hiashi, you are to go and gather the Intelligence and Interrogation teams, Shikaku, I want you to immobilize everyone in that mob and Fugaku, I want you to send them into the worst genjutsu you can. I don't care what it is because if you don't, I'm going to kill all of those people up there without remorse." Hiashi ordered, which shocked the three because Hiruzen never threatened to kill civilians, no matter how horrible they were.

When the initial shock wore off a split second later, Hiashi disappeared while Shikaku cast a shadow strangle jutsu on the entire mob, including its leader Hanabi Shoudai, who everyone thought was in the conference room. But Hiruzen didn't care, he jumped after Naruto and landed in the tree he was tied up in and managed to get him free of the ninja wire, only to hear him screaming still and still kicking to get free of whatever he was being tormented.

"Hiruzen-Hokage, found the caster!" Fugaku's voice echoed over the now silent mob that lay unconscious thanks to the team effort of Shikaku and Fugaku, and the two were coming forth with an ANBU wearing an Inu mask, and they knew exactly who it was, and it ticked Hiruzen off.

"Tsubaki Uchiha, why on earth are you participating in an illegal mob, using your intelligence gathering skills … on a six year old boy?" Hiruzen asked, his voice raising by the time he was done, and sent a fist to the woman's face, breaking her mask but she didn't move because she was caught in Shikaku's shadow possession jutsu.

"Fugaku, use your sharingan to get her to release the jutsu on Naruto, now, before I kill her myself." Hiruzen snapped, and Fugaku went to work, and Naruto's screams died moments later, but were replaced by sobs of agony and pain before Naruto went quiet.

"Hiruzen-Hokage … let me kill her now." Fugaku suddenly requested, fists clenched tight as he glared at the dazed girl in front of him. The only reason for such anger, was because he had children of his own, and would have killed the person in a second if it was either of his children in the position they found Naruto in.

"Why, Fugaku?" Hiruzen asked as he picked up the six year old boy in his arms.

"She did this torture on him for two hours after they beat him to a near death state for an hour, resting for only a moment while he healed. When Ibiki gets here, he'll see exactly what she put him through in that genjutsu and he'll kill her himself, if not you when he tells you what happened." Fugaku explained, and Hiruzen looked grave. "But, seeing as she's part of the Uchiha clan, and my only daughter, when Ibiki is finished with her I will punish her as I see fit."

"Wait for Ibiki, I'm taking Naruto to the hospital." Hiruzen said, disappearing just as Hiashi came back with the Intelligence and Interrogation team arrived, with Ibiki right behind him. And he looked ready to have some fun.

It had been three weeks since he brought Naruto to the hospital, and Hiruzen was going mad. Naruto had yet to wake up and from what he and the doctors could see, he was physically fine, even all the injuries he endured were healed perfectly. So, the doctor deemed it psychological, because after Hiruzen explained in minute detail, that Naruto was under a very painful, very torturous genjutsu for two hours and they could only wait for Naruto to awake.

So, the doctor had IV drips set up to give Naruto some nutrients since he couldn't eat, kept him on a heart monitor in case something internal happened. After all, it's not healthy to heal so quickly after being injured just as quickly. And the doctor left it at that, leaving nurses to check up on him every two or so hours and the doctor coming two times a day to see if any progress.

A kid, looking no older than thirteen with his hitai-ate covering his left eye and gravity defying silver hair sticking up in the air and a mask covering his lower half of his face, walked in during lunch, and he was still there, sitting in the place of Hiruzen as Naruto's official body guard even though at first he didn't want the job because of his failed attempt the first time.

Kakashi Hatake, blamed himself for the state that Naruto was in. Hell, he was in ANBU for crying out loud, he shouldn't have been able to let his emotions overrun him and let him slide in detecting that someone, who was revealed as a lowly chuunin at best, was able to sneak up behind him and knock him out before tying him with ninja wire that Pakkun, one of his animal summons, couldn't even chew through. So, he had no choice but to wait for someone to find him. But what horrified him, was that he woke up just when Naruto's screaming started.

He laid there, unable to move for two hours, listening to the boys never ending cry for help and it broke Kakashi's heart into shreds with every passing second. So, if he were to go back to ANBU, he'd be ready now, because there's nothing like the child screaming for help and being unable to do anything make you ready for that job, emotion free.

"Any progress, Kakashi?" Hiruzen asked as he walked into Naruto's room, placing a hand on the silver haired teens shoulder softly.

"No, not even a twitch …" The silver haired ninja stated with a sad voice.

"Go home, I'll take over night shift tonight. You need the sleep or you can't function." Hiruzen offered, and Kakashi took it without a second to waste, and was out of the door faster than Hiruzen could say Inu.

So, to say the least, Hiruzen knew that putting Kakashi as full time body guard for the blonde boy was probably a psychological mistake. Maybe he'll send him to Ibiki for a therapy session and to Inoichi who can help him get over the issue, maybe to forgive himself for what happened. Because nothing Hiruzen was saying, was getting through the young prodigy.

When morning came and Hiruzen had to get back to the Hokage tower for work, there was five more minutes until Kakashi came back, and the second the young ninja walked through the doors, Naruto was sitting up in bed, head down a little bit and he was whispering to himself so low that Kakashi couldn't even hear him, and he had better hearing than most ninja.

"Naruto, are you okay?" Kakashi asked, standing in the doorway in case he needed to yell for a doctor.

Naruto didn't answer, or acknowledge that he even heard Kakashi speaking to him, until he slowly rose his head up to look the grey eyed boy dead on, with the dullest blue eyes he had ever seen, that had replaced the usually alive, sparkling blue that looked like an ocean. And Kakashi again felt that pang in his chest like he had betrayed everyone he ever trusted, even if they weren't ever going to be here again.

"Jiji-san?" Naruto whispered, and it seemed to be the best he could talk right now, given the fact that he had three weeks to heal his vocal chords, but the doctor also said that the never ending scream could have a little bit longer healing on them than usual, even with Kyuubi's chakra.

"Hold on, Naruto, I'll send for him right away." Kakashi said and stood in the hallway and summoned Pakkun once again and sent him straight to the Hokage's office with a very, very important message that could not wait.

Next, Kakashi called down for a doctor before he rushed into the room. The only reason why he was excited, was because Naruto looked like he might even make a partial psychological recovery from what had happened to him. Even though he was speaking very little, at least he knew who everyone was.

Meanwhile, Naruto remained quiet as Kakashi hugged him with all his might, not even caring if he were to be scolded for the action. He was a kid too, after all, and his biggest fear had just been relinquished, even for a little bit.

~While Naruto was out~

"Hey, Kyuubi …" Naruto whispered softly as the fox let the little boy rest on one of his tails for comfort. Hell, even Kyuubi didn't think that his tormentors were going to go that far, and he truly felt sorry for his jailor, especially when he talks with no emotions, and his eyes are completely void of them.

"Yes brat?" Kyuubi said, though not as an insult, but as a way of connecting with Naruto through playful banter.

"You said I had a birthday present coming … what is it?" Naruto asked, the tint of amusement and excitement that should be there, nowhere to be found.

"You'll know what it is when you wake up, but I'll tell you what it is then. I just want you to rest as long as you can, because you'll start training in it as soon as you're better." Kyuubi told Naruto, though Naruto could have pouted, Kyuubi missed the pout on his face as the giant fox sighed and rested his head on his front hand-like paws while the tail curled softly around the small boy's frame, already sleeping like nothing happened.

When Naruto didn't talk for the next few hours after he woke up, Hiruzen let his old friend; Danzo, take over his office for a day, promising to make sure his death was near if anything he didn't approve happen while he was gone. And surprisingly, Danzo did what he was told, even though he didn't like the morals that Hiruzen lived and ruled by. But by damn, Hiruzen was surprised when he heard his old friend and teammate say that he respected them nonetheless.

Naruto was laying back down, eyes so dull they looked like a dead man's eyes, staring right at the ceiling. Not moving, not talking, and refusing to eat unless somehow, Hiruzen got through to him enough to eat the bread and drink his milk before going back to that emotionless stare at the ceiling.

Naruto had been broken, and it took three hours to do it, but Hiruzen knew that what broke the poor boy, was the genjutsu he was in. And no matter how hard Ibiki or Inoichi tried to get inside Naruto's mind, they couldn't find out what happened, it was like whatever happened, was either erased or the Kyuubi was trying its damnedest to keep anyone from learning until Naruto gave the all clear.

The hospital gave Naruto another week or so, to be sure he was mentally stable to go back outside, before he was released and Hiruzen made sure that Naruto stay living inside the Hokage tower with him in another room. He was not, absolutely not, going to have another repeat of what happened last month. Not over his dead body.

But Naruto didn't care, to say in the least, because he still refused to talk, but at least he was doing things on his own like he should be. That showed at least some hope in the little boy.

It wasn't until the next day, when Naruto went out for a walk because Kyuubi said it would probably be good for him, that he was met with one of the people from the mob last month that managed to worm their way out of Shikaku's web of shadows before it was noticed and cornered the boy in a small alley, where no one would find him.

"You've got some nerve kid, didn't you know you were supposed to die after that genjutsu torture?" The man said, and Naruto made a mental note that he smelled like alcohol.

The first of the beating wasn't as bad as Naruto thought when the muscular man brought his fist to his jaw, sending him into a wall behind him before falling to the ground with a thud. He didn't care, if the man could finish him off, then he'd be happy. He'd be happy for once.

But, when the man drew a knife from his waist band, he went down on Naruto and stabbed him in the stomach, and blinked when the boy didn't scream out in pain. And he was hoping he'd hear him like the other night. That was music to his ears.

"Naruto, here's where you'll start. I was hoping you'd get to a training ground first, but looks like it might have to start early. I need you to repeat after me; Chakra no Youso Sousa; Katon Manipulation." Kyuubi said quickly in Naruto's mind, "and once that's done, you'll make a fist and thrust it forward. Remember, think of heat and fire and it will work"

And Naruto did exactly what he was told.

"Hey, are you listening to me you fucking demon shit?" The man growled before he pulled the knife out of Naruto's stomach and sank it into his skin again, still getting no sounds of pain from the seven year old. And it was pissing him off.

"Chakra no Youso Sousa; Fire Manipulation." Naruto said under his breath, then got into a fighting stance he's seen many times while watching gennin teams training, and while thinking of heat … and fire, his fist caught flame as he thrust it forward into the mans gut, and the man caught flame faster than any normal flame would have.

"Now, channel your chakra into the flame while your fist is still connected to his stomach and imagine the fire getting bigger and hotter, then pull back." Kyuubi noted, and Naruto listened, to every word before stepping back and listening to the mans screams of pain, and that's when something in Naruto's eyes snapped brightly, but it wasn't happiness, it was the fact that he was enjoying the pain the other man was under.

"Good boy, you've fended off your first attacker … now run." Kyuubi reminded him, but Naruto stayed, just to listen to the man's screams a little longer before an ANBU, who heard the screams, decided to show up to see what the commotion was about.

"Hey, kid, what happened here?" The ANBU asked, who was joined in with four more of his companions.

That's when one of the ANBU realized that he was the kid attacked last month, and that he had a knife in his stomach, and he didn't seem to be bothered by it.

"If you want to keep going, say this one; Chakra no Youso Sousa; Doton Manipulation. Then get into the horse stance, and I know you know that one, then straighten up and stomp on the ground. While doing so, you're going to bring your hands up in fists into a defensive stance I know you've seen and then you're going to throw your hands forward." Kyuubi explained, with high amusement in his voice as Naruto listened to him again.

"Chakra Youso Sousa; Earth Manipulation." And Naruto got into his stances, and when he stomped on the ground, earth rose up where the man was currently lying unconscious, or dead, didn't really matter to Naruto, and threw his hands forward, sending the man, and the earth, into the street out of the alley.

And Hiruzen had seen it all, except for the fire, but even he could sense the bit of chakra used in those attacks; they were not only Naruto's chakra, but also Kyuubi's. Somehow, Kyuubi managed to give Naruto some new power, and he had to find out somehow.

"Dragon-san, trap him in your wood jutsu, then Inu-san can knock him out. We need to take him to the hospital to see if he's alright." Hiruzen said quickly, and there was no stalling, though they stopped moving when they heard Naruto giggling.

"Lord Hokage quite contrary

How does your village grow?

With kunai knives and shuriken stars

And strong shinobi all in a row." Naruto sang, before giggling again and turned towards the Hokage. "Jiji-san, I want to play." He said, as he pulled the knife out of his stomach and dropped it on the ground, the grin on his face, was enough to send shivers down anyone's spine, even the ANBU quivered and backed away.

That's when Hiruzen realized, there was a spark in Naruto's eye, but it was the spark of insanity. And he couldn't help but feel like he was also to blame.

After a moment of Naruto staring at Hiruzen, Naruto went to the street where what was left of the burning man laid and stood there staring at it.

"Chakra no Yousa Sousa; Suiton Manipulation." Naruto giggled before he put his arms out and water from two nearby stands gathered on his arms, then he positioned his arms above the burning body and the water fell onto it, quenching some of the fire before Naruto took a step back.

"Chakra no Yousa Sousa; Doton Manipulation." He said, drawing his hands to his sides as he stomped on the ground, a hole appearing under the body before it fell and he slid the same foot to the side, making the earth move to cover the evidence.

This is when, finally, the Dragon masked ANBU took action, producing a couple hand signs, ending with hebi (snake), wood started to grow out of the earth and grabbed the boy to make sure he wouldn't go anywhere but also making sure he wouldn't hurt him either. Which is very difficult for him either way.

"Thank you, Dragon-san. When I get down there, you can release him as soon as I'm within reach to grab him." Hiruzen nodded and disappeared, reappearing before the boy and, with wide eyes, saw that Naruto was out cold, with that same sinister grin on his face.

But no longer than a second later, Hiruzen felt like he aged ten years when the Mokuton jutsu was released, and he caught the falling boy in his arms.

"I'm so sorry, Naruto." Hiruzen said before he and his five ANBU quickly went to the hospital to see if he was injured further than just that knife in his stomach.
