A/N: I don't own Naruto. Unfortunately, cause I'd be filthy rich. Anyway on with the story and as always criticism as long as its not flaming is appreciated. Thanks.
Summary: 11 year old Naruto is chased by ANBU after a prank. Again. This time however he meets up with someone from his parent's past. A possible teacher. How would Naruto turn out if someone actually took the time to teach him properly? Especially if that someone was positively one of the most destructive humans alive?
"HAHAHAHAHAHA! Come on people its just a joke!" laughed an exhilarated Naruto
"NARUTO! GET BACK HERE!" screamed his pursuers.
Eleven-year old Naruto had just led a group of ANBU through the city and inot the training grounds. For almost 3 hours they had been chasing him. Three long hour, during which he stayed ahead by knowledge of the area as well as practically endless stamina. Finally though they cornered him. with his back towards the fence of Training Ground 44, a.k.a. The Forest Of Death, Naruto was searching for a way out. 'Damn these guys are persistent. If I didn't know better I'd say they have ulterior motives.' Just as the group moved in to apprehend the 'criminal' a voice rang out:
"SUITON:SUIRYUDAN NO JUTSU! (Water Style: Water Dragon Blast Technique)"
In responce a huge, dragon shaped torrent of water smashed brutally on the ANBU knocking them unconcious. Just then a figure walked out of the shadows. It was a man, about 25 years old. Black hair, black eyes with the Konoha headband on his forehead. He wore light chain-link type armor that was mostly covered by a black vest. He also wore a pair of spiked bracers and shin guards completing the outfit with boots and black trousers. He seemed extremely strong if one went by account of the muscles as well as very experienced judging by the scars on him. On his back two swords were diagonally stored for easy access. The person then spoke in a mocking tone:
"Oh dear oh dear. It seems my jutsu missed. OH WHATEVER AM I GOING TO DO!"
Right after that he just pointed at the knocked out ANBU and started laughing
"HAHAHAHA what idiots! Serves you right, not getting an under trained academy student in 3 hours. HAHAHAHAHA losers!"
Meanwhile Naruto was gawking at the new arrival. Was he friend or foe? He seemed strong and had this... aura about him. He felt... commanding in a sense. Yet at the same time he seemed damn carefree. Naruto just decided to laugh along the man.
"Hahaha you're right! They couldn't catch me and they are ANBU? They are a joke. Maybe I should skip to ANBU right now!"
"Hehehe I like you kid. Say what's your name? I think I know who you are but I just want to confirm it."
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! The next Hokage and the best of them all!"
"Heh means I finally found you Naruto. You're just like your parents. Damn I missed that laugh."
Immediately the atmosphere became heavy. Naruto just barely spoke: "You... you know my parents? WHO ARE THEY? WHERE ARE THEY! TELL ME!"
"Wait you mean Sandaime didn't tell you? Oh he's in for it now. And yeah I know your parents. They... they were important to me. As for where they are... I'll tell you but first things first. Probably we don't have much time. I'm willing to train you kid. It won't be easy and you'll probably want to assassinate me a few times. In fact I'll consider myself a failure if you don't try it at least five times per month. So do you Uzumaki Naruto accept to be my apprentice in everytthing I have to teach you? You will not question my commands and you will follow my orders. I'm a very harsh teacher but I'll make you stronger than anyone else. Now tell me will you be my apprentice?"
"Wait wait wait. You want to teach me? Noone's ever taught me. And what about my parents. And what about-"
"Naruto! One thing at a time. Now tell me. Will you be my apprentice? I promise to tell you about your parents and why the village hates you tonight. But tell me NOW! Otherwise the council will stop me."
"Ok ok if you promise. Yeah I Uzumaki Naruto accept apprenticeship."
"Phew good now the idiots can't separate us. Ok now hang on to me and I'll take us to the Hokage's office."
Naruto nodded and grabbed the man's arm as he used Shunshin No Jutsu ( body flicker technique, a short range teleportation technique) repeatedly to get them to the Hokage Tower. As soon as they got inside they hurried through the corridors. The man just forced his way through everyone. Naruto then noticed that ANBU seemed to back away from him and bow to his presense. Just who was this guy. He never got the chance to ask as he unceremoniously barged into the Hokage's office to see him talking to his old teammates and Danzo. Naruto barely had time to get inside when he felt an unimaginable bloodlust before his escort exploded:
"YOU! you three GET THE HECK OUT! NOW! Non-negotiable GET THE FUCK OUT NOW!"
Then Naruto felt it. It was unlike any chakra he had ever felt before. It felt oppresive... sharp... as if that person's very existence could physically cut him to pieces.
"Now now Ryu-san. No reason to get all-"
"I said GET OUT! I will NOT tolerate you. Get out before I lose my patience. If you want a demon I'll become that demon. And you know noone in this village can stop me so GET THE FUCK OUT!"
The councilors looked upon that person with fear. His very presence there was a snag in their plans. They could do nothing about it. They'd just send him on another mission soon. After all the old monkey wouldn't be able to say no. Confidence restored somewhat they exited the office. The aged man looked upon his two visitors with mixed emotions. This was going to be bad.
"So... Ryu what do I owe this visit for? And why is Naruto-kun here?"
"Cut the crap old monkey. I am NOT happy. You've dissapointed THEM. I come back here after so long to find Naruto untrained, lacking in proper nutrition and most importantly with not the SLIGHTEST idea of who his parents are. Explain that old monkey. Or maybe I should? Should I tell him the truth? Huh? Sarutobi-sama?"
"Ryu calm down..."
"CALM DOWN? Listen here old man, I'm NOT going to calm down. YOU are going to give me full guardianship over Naruto so I can train him. And you are also going to give me one year so I can properly train him. Then you're going to go to a shrine and pray to any and every manifestation of Kami that he forgives you. Because I'm DEFINITELY not going to. You have failed him in every level. Hokage? Hah more a figurehead with no resolve whatsoever! Now ready the papers cause I'm not going to talk about it."
"That is enough Ryu!"
"Is it? YOU have failed the fourth's legacy not I! YOU are the one that allowed these bastards to send me away for years at a time so I couldn't watch over him! So don't tell ME its enough. It will NEVER be enough! All the pain this child has undergone is because of YOUR negligence! Henge into him Sarutobi! Henge into him and walk around the streets! I saw the looks they give him. Now give me the damn papers. As I said I am NOT going to talk about this. It is NOT a request. Don't worry Naruto. I'll explain everything tonight. Noone's going to underestimate you from now on. Noone's going to hurt you ever again. I swear this upon my honor and my life."
*sigh* "Alright. Naruto is now under your protection. Take good care of him."
"Finally. Oh and one more thing. Tell that idiot Danzo to get his ROOT jocks off me or I won't be responcible for the increase of bodies in the morgue."
"R-ROOT? But he's supposed to have disbanded them!"
"Oh suuure. This is Danzou we're talking here. He has them hidden around the village, taking other jobs to act as spies. ROOT is still active. Just more secretive. By the way... I'll personally take care of ROOT HQ soon. In 2-3 years I'll give Konohagakure a firework show the likes of which they have not seen since the great war. Its high time someone took these idiots down. One last thing before we leave: watch out for your ex-team mates. They smell too much of Danzou... Trust noone Hokage... Most of all those that you used to. Not even me." *sigh* "That's why I never took your place. I'd have killed the lot of them already... Anyway I'll take my leave now. Goodbye."
"Jiji? What's going on? Who's this?"
"Oh yeah I forgot to introduce myself. ANBU Captain Ryu. This is not my real name but I've... discarded my old name as I am unworthy of it. Just call me Ryu or sensei from now on. You're coming with me to my home just outside Konoha's walls. You're going to live there for a long time because I'll be training you personally. As I promised noone's going to hurt you again. And an Uzumaki never breaks a promise. I might not be born an uzumaki but I was raised by one, so I sure as hell am not going to betray that part. Even though I failed her in everything else. Now come on we gotta buy you some stuff and get your possessions so we can go home."
"Eh? what do you mean? Come on tell me!"
"Not now Naruto we gotta go. I'll tell you everything. Now let's get going, we're wasting time here."
"Ok ok already jeeze... better teach me some cool jutsus though!"
"Naruto-kun, Ryu is stronger than me. Much stronger. Don't worry he'll teach you many things."
"R-really jiji? Come on then let's go!" yelled Naruto. Cool jutsus? HELL YAH! The other two laughed at the endless energy he possessed. After saying goodbye the pair left the tower.
First stop was a weapon and equipment shop. Ryu walked in calmly, with Naruto behind him.
"Ohaio tencho-san (tencho=owner I think). I want to buy some training equipment. I want chakra weights, five sealing scrolls, explosive tags, belt and leg puches, a jounin-style vest, kunai, shuriken and chakra-sensitive paper. I also need sealing ink, sealing paper, a couple normal large scrolls, pen and ink."
"Oh definitely sir one moment... wait who's this? I'm sorry sir but I don't serve it's kind here. Go somewhere else."
"Oh? you don't? And why's that?"
"You know why! he's the demon brat!"
"Heh thanks. Now I can arrest you baka. ANBU! Arrest this idiot. I'll confiscate what I need."
"Wha? Anbu?" Immediately four ANBU appeared and took the owner away. Ryu turned happily to Naruto and told him he could pick whatever he wanted. After getting what they needed Ryu sealed them in one of the sealing scrolls. Of course Naruto asked him how he did it, which earned a sigh from his teacher who proceeded to explain him the basics of sealing items in scrolls. Ryu once again found himself wondering if he really was wise in not razing the village to the ground due to its inhabitant's stupidity.
After purchasing the training equipment Ryu dragged Naruto for a change of attire. After much complaining shouting cursing and sighing Naruto was forced to change his eternal orange jumpsuit. Now he wore black pants, boots and a mucle t-shirt. Over it he wore his new black jounin style vest. He also bought a leather belt (seriously where did he hang his belt pouch before?). Ryu allowed also bought him some changes to that attire mostly addind red stripes and changing the color from black to deep blue or dark green. Next up was buying foodstuffs, where Ryu laughed at Naruto's fascination with ramen.
The happy atmosphere though died out when they got to Naruto's appartment. Ryu told Naruto to bring EVERYTHING he wanted to him so they could seal it. After Naruto got his few belongings together they left the house to never return. As Naruto waalked to the gates he couldn't help but wonder how his life would change. He'd have a teacher now. Someone who knew his parents too. Not to mention one that Hokage himself said he was very strong. Why was this person concerning himself with Naruto? Why did he not look down upon him? Lastly who were his parents? And why would Jiji of all people hide this from him? Naruto's musings though came to an abrupt stop when the pair came within range of Ryu's home. More like Mansion. A huge building surrounded by a huge garden protected by a wall. As Ryu went to unlock the gates he turned to Naruto and smiled. Poor kid's eyes were bulging out.
"Well kid, welcome home. Let's go put the stuff down so we can talk."
The mansion had many rooms, two libraries, a huge kitchen and from the rooms Naruto was allowed to see there was also a forge. There were also three different dojos and five training grounds. By far the largest room though was the living room. Directly in front of the entrance it had doors that led to the various areas of the house and it was huge. It alone was about three to four times Naruto's apartment. On one side of it, next to the kitchen was the table with pillows down. On the other side though were a bunch of pillows sprawled along the floor. Ryu dropped his sealing scrolls and went to simply sit on a few pillows in a relaxed manner. He then motioned Naruto to sit in front of him and spoke.
"Now Naruto I think its time to tell you about your parents, why the village hate you and your relationship with me. Its going to take us a while and I know you'll be angry. So I'm telling you now, calm down and get ready because you're not going to like all of the story. Are you ready? Ok then let me start..."
A/N: Phew first chappie done. Next up Naruto's history and the beggining of training.
Hope you liked my OC and his randomness. To tell you the truth he's somewhat modelled after my randomness so beware :-) Also how should I pair them? I was thinking Ryu/Anko and Naruto/Yugito. Jinchuurikis should stick together after all. And in case you're wondering yes Naruto will be powerfull this time around. I mean seriously he's a guy who can learn hundrends of times faster. If that perv took his training seriously... ARGH! I like Jiraiya but damn he should have done a better job. I mean he's a damn SANNIN. He managed to teach Naruto how to make a bigger Rasengan? That's all? Sheesh...
