A/N: Hey there! This is my first foray into writing a fanficiton about... well, anything. I hope it isn't too bad, and I will eventually be asking around about a beta reader, but for now, I guess we will have to take my shot. Standard stuff, I do not own Naruto, nor do I plan to.
Normal Speech: "Hey there!"
Normal Thinking: "What is happening?"
Justu Names: Banbutsu Sōzō
Bijuu/Black Zetsu Speech: "Meh."
Bijuu/Black Zetsu Thinking: "Weird and slanted?"
Three days had passed since the death of Madara Uchiha, and Zetsu had enough of Obito. He was useless. The only thing he was good for was his Sharingan, and even that was becoming more and more of an annoyance. Zetsu's soft breathing looked at the tank in front of him. Madara was looking into the work of Orochimaru, and had forayed into creating life without Banbutsu Sōzō. A malformed body of a child lay within, braindead and useless, but its genes were impeccable, and would have the capacity for multiple Kekkei Mōra and Kekkei Genkai. A suitable host had already been chosen for the genes, but the knowledge of the young boy would need to slowly be molded to be like Madara. Zetsu phased into the ground, and appeared in an orphanage in Kirigakure no Sato. A small, blond haired child was lying in a cot. The boy could not have been more than the age of three or four.
"What a wonderful specimen. If he is to resurrect mother, then I am sure that our plan will go as thought. Such strong Yin and Yang chakra. He truly is the successor of Mother." The boy awoke, sensing a presence in the room with him.
"Wha-what are you?" The boy whimpered in terror, convinced that this was nothing but a bad dream.
"I am Zetsu. Not that you will remember this. This is just a bad dream Naruto. Go to sleep." The black creature ordered, as the white half just giggled childishly. "That is right Naruto! We are going to be your best friends!" The white half said excitedly. The black half quickly knocked the boy back out and scooped him up, taking him back to the Mountains' Graveyard.
When Naruto awoke, he was in a nice house, in a beautiful village. "Where am I?" He asked, mostly to himself, yet, a voice answered him.
"You are in your home silly! Now you don't want to miss the Academy! Do you?" A woman with red hair ordered with a sweet smile. "You need to get up Naruto-kun!"
Naruto looked around, confused. "Who are you?" He began to grow panicked. 'Where am I? Who are you? Are you here to kill me?" The young boy yelled as he ran at the woman. She hugged him softly.
"Did you have a bad dream dear? Let your Kaa-san help you." The woman began to rock the panicked child back and forth, softly singing him a song.
"Was-was it really all a dream? Are you really my Kaa-san?" Naruto sniffles a bit, clearly not sure what to believe. He had vague memories of some sort of orphanage in a costal area, but those were quickly fading. "I think I remember you now... What happened to me? Why can't I remember anything?" The distressed boy questioned.
"You hit your head very hard. You need to be more careful." The woman admonished the boy, who had the decency to look a little sheepish.
"That does sound like me." The boy admitted as he caught a glimpse of his hair in the mirror. Gone were his blond locks, now his hair was ashen white. "I had such a weird dream. I was blond, and an orphan in the Kiri." Naruto admitted as he let go of his mother.
"What an odd dream. You had better get going, you don't want to be late for the Academy!" Naruto's mother pointed to the clock and her tone indicated there was only a little time left before it began. Naruto took off, forgetting his lunch at the home, rushing to the Academy. As he left, the woman with red tresses turned into White Zetsu and began to use Mokuton to finish the rooms of the house, not wanting its charade to be found out. It transformed back into Kushina Uzumaki after it was done, smiling to itself. The boy was easy to control, and easy to influence. A few years at the Academy that Zetsu had designed, would make sure Naruto had no illusions with the world.
In Mountains' Graveyard, Obito appeared in a swirl of space. Madara's original Sharingan eyes were gone, as was Zetsu. Obito swiftly looked in the experimentation room, seeing the DNA donor child was dead. He raged and began casting fire jutsu, destroying all the research and equipment. Zetsu had forsaken him, and taken the eyes of Madara. After he had destroyed the medical research center, he noticed a small seal on the wall. Channeling chakra into the seal, a note appeared. "To Madara, I have decided to take a small vacation, call it a research opportunity. You will continue the plan as the real Madara ordered. Nagato and Fugaku Uchiha both need to play their parts before we can begin. I will know when you have done your part. Do not disappoint. Yours truly, Zetsu." The moment that Obito was done with the note, it burst into flames, leaving Madara's puppet confused. His plan wasn't to attack Konoha for another few months, but, any time was as good as any. Obito disappeared, intent on killing Minato and releasing the Kyuubi that night.
A/N: The first chapter is complete. May be good. May not. It is all up to you guys. This Naruto was born a few years before the rest of the Konoha Rookies. He is four years older than them in this. Naruto will be by no means Overpowered. I hate Naruto fucking people up at the age of twelve. I haven't decided exactly what Bloodlines he will get. It will max out at two, but, they both will evolve into the Kekkei Mōra corresponding to the bloodline. So the Sharingan would evolve into the Rinnegan. Dead Bone Pulse would turn into All Ash Killing Bones. Things like that. I would love to see your reviews/constructive criticism and ideas for what bloodlines he should get. As a warning, there will be at least one OC. Probably a Senju woman that I pair with Naruto, but I am also taking suggestion for Clans/Ideas for OCs and Pairings. That's all for now folks!
