Harry potter, age eight. While running from an especially violent Dudley gang. Finds himself in a small wooded area, tripping over some roots, he slices his palm open, and bleeds on the trunk of an ancient looking tree. Which starts to glow blue the ground before him starts to roll like a pot of boiling water. After watching stunned for a few moments the ground stops. Revealing a mahogany box with a small rope pull handle compelled by an unknown force Harry grabs the handle and pulls with all his malnourished might. With a sucking sound the box pops loose from its resting spot. Harry takes a moment to inspect the box. It is a beautiful red color, with a mirrade of black swirls, and squiggles, covering nearly every inch of it. Surrounding a less filled in circle with a large foreign character. Harry entranced by its beauty, runs his still bleeding palm over the character.

He feels something inside him being slightly pulled on. Again the woods light up with the strange blue glow. A low hiss of air and a series of clicks fill the silence. The lid lifts slightly then rocks back before swinging open. Inside is a stack of rolls of paper each with more of the foreign characters on them. Another pull from behind his navel harry is transfixed when before his very eyes the characters spread and twist lining up in such a way that now they are in English. Picking one up that is titled "Introduction" he unrolls it.

'If you are reading this then it is meant to be. Everything inside this chest is meant to aid you on your journey. Your life has probably been difficult and I'm sorry to say but it surely will get worse before it gets better. But I know that inside you is a core of iron. An indomitable strength to never give up never surrender. Inside this chest you will find the means to better yourself and give yourself the means to protect not only yourself but the precious people of your life. Your journey will seem lonely but remember that you're are never alone one day soon you will find your precious people that you can trust that will never leave your side and make your life worth living. Have faith that fate has great plans for you. The things that I have put together to help you are numerous each is important of itself. Take care to complete everything to the best of your ability. Then push past your best you are only limited by yourself. Some of the first things you will find are training regiments. A detailed list of exercises meant to strengthen your body. Along with this is some exercises on control. Not only the control of the power will we unlock inside you but of yourself. Being in control of your self is paramount. Without focus the chances of success dwindle greatly. Some of the first things that I am going to give you will help you immensely but you must always remember that they are nothing but tools nothing and no one is infallible. To rely too much on something is to weaken yourself. One of the greatest weapons on earth is the mind. With it comes the power to adapt to plan and to learn. The gift I speak of is known as the Sharingan. It is a technique inherited through the birth in a certain bloodline that has been lost to my world, by the death of one of my closest friends. It is also known as the copy wheel eye. With it you are able to perceive moment instantly you are gifted with photographic memory anything you see with the Sharingan will be permantley etched with in your memory for all time. It all gifts its owner the unique ability to see through any illusion. And the ability to copy any technique observed with it. But it is not undefeatable. There are many ways to blind the Sharingan. Bright flashes of light irritants in their many forms. Can obscure the vision long enough to be fatal that Is why you must use it as nothing more than a tool to rely on it too much will be your downfall.

Though the Sharingan is passed on through bloodlines inherited through ones parents. I have managed to unlock its secrets and replicate it with the use of seals. One of the most difficult but also most powerful arts ever discovered. The Sharingan will be given to you through the use of this art.

In the scroll marked Sharingan you will find three seals one large one that will need to be placed on your forehead. Then two smaller ones that will be placed over each of your temples. The will be automatically activated with you smear of blood.

The second set of seals that I believe with help you the most is of my won clan bloodline the Uzumaki's our bloodline grants many things longevity, advanced healing larger chakra systems, denser chakra, able to manifest outside of our bodies, and an outer healing ability. Any who drink our blood directly from the source will quickly heal, from even near fatal injury. The ability to manifest solid chakra outside of the body has had varying uses. I never met my mother as she was killed the night I was born. But I have been told she was able to manifest chains to use in combat these chains were said to be strong enough to hold down the most powerful of all creatures know to our world.

My own manifestation allowed me to take change my form into an exact replica of many things. From a solid form of a tiger, to the form of a small knife. I could become those things going so far as to even be the exact weight of those things. Spanning from a couple pounds to several hundred.

Now while our chakra systems are large and generally more powerful there is a trade off our control is usually atrocious. Luckily there are several control exercises that will cure most of that problem. Along with these seals I have included three storage scrolls you will later have access to filled with various jutsu's or techniques such as breathing fireballs to making dragons made of various elements. I have built in a safety precaution with these techniques so you don't try to walk before you can crawl.

Only when you have an acceptable level of chakra and control will you have access to the scrolls. There are three stages you will need to master. The first is what is known as the gennin or beginner level. These scrolls techniques require the least amount of chakra and control. The second stage or chunnin level scrolls will start you on your journey to discover your elemental affinity (affinities) and expanding your repertoire. Jounnin level scrolls are the final stage able to be taught where you will master everything that you have learned throughout your life and sharpen your skills to a razors edge.

That is not the final level acquirable however. The final level is Kage level there is no scrolls available as so few have reached that level the only way to reach this level is to constantly train to refine your senses and body to unthinkable levels and to start bending the laws of what can and cannot be done. Though in my life I have reached this level it is not something that can be conveyed in any way not taught or shown. Each individual who has attained this level of power has done so through very personal means. I can tell you however that the will of fire as we have called it can guide you beyond the limits of your mind and body. The will to go on no matter the challenge to fight though your body is broken for the protection of what is precious. That is the will it took me to surpass all my obstacles pushing me so far where I was able to stop the annihilation of my world. Where I was able to best a monster thought unbeatable. Not only because of my power, or skill, but because of the love I felt the love that had me pushing beyond all previous known limits. Now it is time that you apply my gifts for you. Place all four seals where they are instructed to be placed and smear a bit of blood on them all they will not activate until they are all in sync. '

Harry taken aback by all this took a few minutes to read and re-read all this before his rolled the scroll back up and set it to the side before he grabbed the scrolls marked Sharingan and Uzumaki. Unrolling the Uzumaki scroll first he was stunned by just how long they were nearly three foot. And at the end of the roll lay a sis by six piece of paper with more of the beautiful designs that were on the outside of the chest. In the center of all was a symbol that was a stylized swirl reminiscent of a whirlpool.

The instructions had him lifting his shirt and placing the paper ink down in the center of his stomach below the ribs and above the naval. With that in place he unrolled the Sharingan scroll which was nearly as long where at the end lay a strip that was two by three inches and two 2x2 inch squares. He lay the first on his forehead covering near all of it then the other two over each temple when he was done the first was slightly overlapped by the other two as the instructions described.

Picking the new scab over his palm until it bled anew harry wiped each seal with a small smear of blood. He felt a significant pull behind his naval once more much more intense than any of the others. Until the point he felt most of his strength leaving him. Each seal glowed so intense that he had to close his eyes. Then the pain started. From his core he felt as though lava was pouring through his entire being. Then an explosion set off behind his eyes easily rivaling the pain in his core. He opened his mouth to cream but found he had no breath. Just as he thought he had been tricked, into causing his own death, did sweet merciful unconsciousness claimed him.

When harry awoke the sky was dark. The moon full was straight above him. He had a brief thought of wonder as to how he could see so clearly even with the light of the moon when he realized he was out far past his curfew. Sitting bolt upright he gathered himself. The chest he had found still lay open in front of him. Wondering when if ever he would be allowed enough freedom to come back he closed the lid. Only to have his mind blown wide open once more. With a click the lid closed and then the chest glowed once more before with a puff of smoke it was gone. He felt a tingle in his palm and when he inspected it he caught sight of more seal formula before it vanished he noticed that the center character was eerily similar to the one on the chest lid. Shaking himself he told himself that he could ponder such things after he returned to the Dursley's.

As soon as he entered the door to number 4 pivot drive Harry was grabbed by his hair by the meaty hand of his uncle Vernon. "Where have you been boy? If I discover you've been out causing trouble you will wish that you were never born." Not giving the chance to speak for himself and knowing it would do him no good regardless. Harry was dragged by his hair and thrown into his room the cupboard under the stairs roughly. After a strong backhand that split his lip. With an audible click of metal on metal the lock on the outside of the door was thrown. Harry rubbed his raw feeling scalp, and his slpit lip. He thought about what had happened once more in the woods. Remembering what he had read, the unimaginable pain he had experienced and lastly how the chest had disappeared in a puff of smoke. Harry found himself wishing that he had access to some of those scrolls within the chest.

Even though it was night he was filled with an energy he never felt before. Just as h pulled his hand away from his head another puff of smoke came from his palm that had held the strange design. Then a rather thick scroll fell to his floor. Picking it up Harry smiled at the title. 'The way of the Shinobi.'

It had been three days since Harry had first been dumped into his cupboard being allowed out twice a day for the bathroom and allowed only scraps to eat harry had actually never been happier. In those three days he had read quite a bit about the Shinobi chakra and had even started on some control exercises.

Both for his mind and his newly developed chakra. Through meditation and what was known as the leaf sticking exercise. The first was rather simple in theory. The process of sitting perfectly still and clearing ones minds. It wasn't about keeping a blank mind. Instead it was about letting everything flow through his mind all his thought but not pausing on any individual thought instead letting one flow after the next. Most of his thoughts were on his new information however and he found it rather difficult to keep himself from analyzing every aspect. He had made little progress there.

The chakra exercise went slightly better. But since it to have a lot to do with concentration his progress was marginal. Since he was confined to his room he had no leafs to practice sticking to his forehead and instead used some of the paint peels that came off the wall of his small room. The most he had managed was to stick one to his head for about a minute before his mind wandered and his connection broke.

Harry heard footsteps coming quickly grabbing his scroll he applied a small amount of chakra to the seal in the center of his palm. A small puff of smoke quickly cleared as his door was wrenched open, as he stood and smoothed out his clothes the best he could. "I think you've lay about enough. You've been neglecting your chores. Well no more." Vernon growled at him. Harry lowered his head and rolled his eyes. Yes it was all his fault that he had been locked up for the past three days. Taking a deep breath he centered himself he stepped out to follow the man to whatever tasks he had for the day.

It was nearly 6 when Petunia came to collect him from the garden. Where he had been doing his best to treat this as a d-rank mission that he had read about. And taking the opportunity of being outside to collect the leaves that had fallen out of the nearby trees. "Clean yourself up so that you can prepare dinner." His 'aunt' bit out distastefully. "Yes Aunt Petunia." He said neutrally. Standing and brushing himself off. Before following her inside to his cold shower.

That night, after his meager meal, Harry went through his thirty push-ups and fifty sit-ups fifty squats and calf raises before he sit himself down for half an hour of meditation then the same for his leaf sticking exercise with real leafs. He knew tomorrow he would be given more chores to preform and set himself the task of rising early to get in his morning exercises and perhaps a bit of reading on the way of the Shinobi to memorize the properties.
