PROLOGUE:
Jiraiya & Sarutobi were talking in the Hokage's office about 2 weeks after the Kyuubi imprisonment in the Yondaime's one and only son, Naruto.
"You know why you are here right, Jiraiya?" asked Sarutobi.
"Of course. One of my students, the fourth Hokage, has died protecting the village from the Kyuubi by sealing the demon in his son and now he wants me to take care of him" replied Jiraiya.
"Ok, he also asked me to give you this" said Sarutobi.
Jiraiya opened the letter and started reading.
" Dear Jiraiya
I am very sorry for leaving you with my son and interrupting your 'investigacion', but you are the only one that can protect from evil forces looking for the kyuubi and from people that think he is the kyuubi reincarnated. When he is 7 I ask you to start giving him some scrolls I have prepared in a black bag at my house, I have also left a white bag filled with fotos, clothes and cards for him. I have started a trust fund for him that he will be able to open when he is 18. I have given Sarutobi-sama some money in an envelope for Naruto's upbringing and only that. Please train him well. Bring him back to Konoha when he si 12 to do his Gennin exams.
Thank you for everything sensei
Your student
Minato Namikaze. "
Jiraiya finished reading the letter and put it back in it's envelope, he then threw it in the fireplace, where it burnt to ashes. He then turned back to his old sensei.
"Where is he?" asked Jiraiya.
"He is in the next room" replied The Third walking towards a door, he opened and went inside. He came back with a baby in his arms, it was blond and had big blue eyes that were staring at Jiraiya whilst sucking a thumb. Jiraiya felt something, something strange, it came from the boy and it was like he saw the future, he saw the boy being a great shinobi, one of the best.
"I am going to get some stuff, and I will be back in about an hour. Oh! And don't asign any ANBU squads on me please." said Jiraiya.
"Of course" said Sarutobi.
Jiraiya then dissapeared in a cloud of smoke, he ran at full speed towards the Hokage Monument and jumped to the top, he kept running for about half a mile then he stopped when he saw a 4 story house. He aproached it and stopped at the front door he anulated a genjutsu and found a key hanging on the wall, he unlocked the door and entered the Namikaze Residence. He went into the kitchen opened the fridge and got everything out, he then procede to seal it in scroll. He threw away some stuff like milk and cheese so when Naruto came back to his house in the future it wouldn't stink like dead bodies. He whent to the sitting room and saw the 2 bags. He picked them up and was about to leave when he saw some fotos on the mantelpiece. He dropped the bags and walked over to the mantelpiece and looked at the fotos. He had a few fotos: one of his team with Jiraiya; one with his own Gennin team including Kakashi; one of him with his Hokage robes on and the last one with a woman with long purple hair who Jiraiya knew was Minato's wife and Naruto's mom who died giving birth to him. He picked up the one of when he was Hokage ant put it in the white bag. He then left for the Hokage Tower.
10 minutes later at the Hokage Tower..
"I'm back Sarutobi-sensei" said Jiraiya walking into the office.
"Did you get everything you need?" asked the Third.
"Yes. I believe you have another envelope for me" said Jiraya.
"Yes I do and I believe that Minato put a small blood seal on the money so you can only spend it on stuff for Naruto otherwise it will burn your hand big time" advised Sarutobi.
"Ok, I will be back with the boy when he is 12 so he can start his life as a shinobi. I am ask that you prepare a house for our return. Thank you" said Jiraiya before grabbing the envelope, putting in the envelope and leaving the office with the kid in his arms.
Over the first 10 months of his life Naruto traveled and lived in the Rain village were they stayed in Salamander Hanzo's house who had given Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru the name of Sannin. Hanzo growed a liking to Naruto he often played with him whilst Jiraiya wasn't.
Then they went to the Grass village were they stayed for 6 months.
Later to the Wind country were they stayed in a small village close to the border with Rain country for about 20 months.
Then they moved to Tea country were they stayed for 4 years. Whilst there he learnt the basic chakra control and shuriken throwing. Jiraiya also teached him tree climbing were he was about a full year mastering it. He learnt the 'Bunshin no Jutsu','Henge no Jutsu' & 'Kawarimi no Jutsu'.
When he was about to turn 7 they moved to a small town in the South-West Fire Country. There they would stay till Naruto was 12. On his 7th birthday Naruto had a few suprises install.
First he got a weight suit from Jiraiya that weight about 80 pounds all together plus some ankle weights of 50 pounds from Salamander Hanzo. He got some basic Katon (Fire) and Doton (Earth) jutsu scrolls from Sarutobi. New clothes and proper shuriken from Tsunade. And a 4 jutsu scrolls and a letter from a guy named Minato, who Naruto didn't know about yet.
"Who's Minato Namikaze?" asked Naruto.
"He was your dad and the Fourth Hokage" replied Jiraiya.
Naruto was stunned by Jiraiya's answer, he had heard stories about the Fourth. They said that he could move a lightning speeds and nobody could see him, they also said that he could summon a giant frog. But the best story he had heard was how he had given his life to protect Konoha from the Kyuubi. When Naruto heard of these stories he made a decision to be a Hokage when he was older.
"What?! He's my dad?!" shouted Naruto.
"Yes." said Jiraiya.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" he asked.
"You didn't ask me" responded Jiraiya "Now are you going to tell me whats in that scroll or not?"
Naruto opened the letter first and read it.
" Dear Naruto
This is your first letter from me and you probably don't know why I am sending you this. I am sending you some scrolls with my jutsus on them. The first ones are some basic Katon & Raiton jutsus. Each birthday Jiraiya will give you another scroll and it will only open on your birthday before that it will not. I advise you use the Kage Bunshin method of training. If you don't know it yet I sugest you ask Jiraiya to teach you because it is very useful. I hope everything goes well with your training and you will here from me next year.
Your loving Father
Minato Namikaze "
"Jiraiya it says you are supposed to teach me the Kage Bunshin tecnique and tell me how to train with it" said Naruto
Jiraiya looked at the letter and noded.
"Ok. I will teach you tomorrow" said Jiraiya.
"Yes!!" shouted Naruto jumping up and down.
For the following year Naruto mastered all of the jutsus given to him for his birthday, plus loads more, thanks to the Kage Bunshin training that he learned in 6 hours, he also learnt to walk on water. When he was 8 he received a weight suit of 150 pounds plus weight and ankle weights of 50 pounds each. He also got 10 C-level jutsus from Sarutobi. About 15 pairs of new clothes from Tsunade and a small katana from Hanzou. He also received a scroll from his dad that teached him the first level of 4 of his family Taijutsu that consisted of quick, strong, stealthy and fluid movements.
The next year he got a weight suit of 200 pounds plus 2 more ankle and wrist weights of 50 each. 15 C-level justsu scrolls from Sarutobi. New clothes, shuriken and kunai from Tsunade but he didn't receive anything from Hanzou this year that striked Jiraiya as wierd. He received the second level of the Taijutsu from his dad. The year before he had mastered about 30 D-level jutsus and 20 C-level jutsus plus the Taijutsu.
When his 10th birthdar arrived Naruto had mastered the 2nd level of the taijutsu that was double as hard than the first one and took about 6 months even with the Kage Bunshin training,. He also learnt 5 B-level jutsus. For his birthday he got a weight suit of 300 pounds plus a couple of ankle and wrist of 50 pounds each from Jiraiya, making him have about 400 pounds on his ankles and 300 on his wrists. He got about 20 pairs of a black trousers and t-shirts with orange stripes on the sleaves. He liked it loads and decided that he would always were black and orange. From his dad he received the scroll for the 3rd level of the taijutsu and a note.
' Tell Jiraiya it is time '
"Jiraiya I've got a note from my father saying it is time" said Naruto.
Jiraiya turned really serious and patted the sofa were he was sitting signaling for Naruto to sit down. Naruto sat down intrigued.
"You know the biggest thing your dad did right?" asked Jiraiya.
"Of course, he died killing the Kyuubi" answered Naruto.
"Very good, but there is a slight problem. A human cannot kill a demon the only way to defeat them is by sealing them in something. Your dad did it by sealing it in a baby." said Jiraiya hoping Naruto would catch on but by the look on Naruto's face it didn't seem likely"What I'm tying to say is that he sealed the Kyuubi inside of you"
Naruto was shocked but angry at the same time. He had the bastard fox in him all the time and he couldn't benifit from him.
"Jiraiya is there a way that I could benefit from this?" asked Naruto.
"Actually there is but you have to make a deal with the Kyuubi and that means going inside your head." replied Jiraiya.
"I don't care as long as I can profit from that bastard!" shouted Naruto.
Jiraiya did some hand seals and touched Naruto's forehead with his index finger.
Naruto woke up in a large tunnel filled with knee deap water that ended in a gigantic gate. Naruto aproached the gate but not too much. In the middle of the gate there was a piece of paper that said 'Seal'. Naruto figured that the Kyuubi was in there.
"Hey Kyuubi bastard!!" Naruto screamed.
"Ah! I was wondering when you were going to show up. So what do you want brat?" asked the Kyuubi.
"2 things: first I want to be able to use your infinte chakra whenever I want to. Second I want you to train me!"shouted Naruto.
"Very well but only beacause if I don't you'll probably die very soon and that means I'll die very soon" replied Kyuubi.
Naruto awoke on the sofa like if nothing had happened except for now there was 2 fire marks on the inside of Naruto's wrists.
"What happened?" asked Jiraiya.
"We made a deal he teaches me loads of jutsu and stuff and gives me his chakra whenever I want to" answered Naruto.
8 months after this incident an ANBU came to check on Naruto's progress. He was a tall man with grey hair sticking out, but he couldn't see the face because there was an animal mask hiding it. He was wearing a standard ANBU armor.
"Hokage-sama has ordered me to check on your progress Naruto" said the ANBU officer politely.
"If Sarutobi asked I will comply"said Naruto" My stamina, chakra control and speed have increased loads since my last birthday and I have about 200 jutsus that I have mastered over the years."
"OK. Now can you tell me where Jiraiya-sama is so I may speak to him" said the ANBU.
"Of course, he will be at the local baths about this hour" said Naruto.
The ANBU officer dissapeared not leaving even a trace of him.
By his 11th birthday Naruto's stamina, chakra supplies and speed had tripled thanks to the Kyuubi. He had also mastered the 3rd level of the taijutsu plus all of his jutsu scrolls he got last year plus a few new ones from Jiraiya and the Kyuubi. For his 11th birthday he got a weight suit of 500 pounds, he had changed in the middle of the year to 400, plus 2 more wrist weights of 50 pounds each. 10 C-level jutsus & 5 B-level jutsus from Sarutobi. 20 new pairs of black and orange ninja wear that Naruto had specified from Tsunade. And the 4th level of taijutsu from his dad.
7 months after Naruto's 11th birthday Naruto went nto the forest one day to train. After he had gotten about half a mile into the forest he started training. An hour later he stopped because he heard something in the bush that was close to him. A small, dark orange fox came out.
"Hey brat, take that fox in, he could be very helpful expecially if I give him some of my chakra to grow stronger, more inteligent and faster." said the Kyuubi
Naruto got closer to the fox and started scratching behind his ears. The fox turned, looked at Naruto and licked Naruto's hand. After that Naruto and the small fox, who he named 'Foxy', where practically inseperable.
By his 12th birthday Naruto was already about low-mid Chunnin level thanks to the mastering of the 4th and final level of the taijutsu and all the training he did with Jiraiya and the Kyuubi. Jiraiya had made him sign the Toad contract about 8 months ago and now he could summon Gamabunta easily, and Gamabunta respected him even more than he respected Jiraiya. Foxy had already mastered speaking, he had grown to about Naruto's waist and trained with Naruto everyday. He could also use chakra. For his 12 birthday Naruto got his black with orange stripes Ninja wear from Tsunade. About 50 jutsu scrolls in total from Jiraiya and Sarutobi. And new shuriken and kunai from Shizune.
"Naruto start packing were going back to Konoha" shouted Jiraiya the next day.
Naruto got all of his stuff and sealed them in scrolls in about an hour and a half. Naruto & Foxy ran out of the house too find a toad as big as a 2 story house sitting out there.
"Ah! You must be the new summoner. My name is Gamatsu the travel toad. If you go in my belly you will find a sitting room whith a fridge and everything you need. I travel threw water and do about a whole day of running in about half an hour." said Gamatsu.
Naruto was hesitant to go in and waited for Jiraiya who appeared with 2 very big scrolls, inside of them probably had about 1000 diferent scrolls each. He said hello to Gamatsu and entered his mouth, Naruto just followed. They went down a dark hallway that ended in a very big sitting room equipped with sofas and chairs, a large coleccion of books and a very big fridge full of food.
"Gamatsu! take us 1km away from Konoha!" shouted the perverted Sannin.
Naruto sat down on a sofa with Foxy on the flor below him, whilst Jiraiya started writing on a desk. 2 and a half hours later they stopped.
"Jiraiya we're here."shouted the toad inside of himself.
Jiraiya picked up is 2 very big scrolls and walked out. Naruto picked up his own stuff and left the toad's stomach followed by Foxy. When he got out he could see a very large gate in the distance with a mark that said 'Fire'. He turned around just intime to see Gamatsu dissapear in a cloud of smoke.
"Ok, let's get going" shouted Jiraiya walking on"Oh! And you two don't show your true power yet, that means no talking for Foxy and no Taijutsu or saying anything about Kyuubi or your dad for Naruto"
The 1km run only took them about a minute to get to the gate. When they arrived they were greated by 2 Konoha Chunnins.
"Jiraiya the Toad Sage & Naruto Uzumaki entering the village so Naruto may start as a ninja" informed Jiraiya.
"Hokage-sama said that if you were to arrive you were to go straight to him at the Hokage Tower. They ran at full speed towards the Hokage tower, Foxy could run quite fast thanks too the Demon chakra that he got from Naruto every week. They arriver quite quickly and got sent into the office straight away.
"Naruto! How are you?" asked Sarutobi giving him a hug.
"I'm great actually" replied Naruto "How about you, Sarutobi-kun?"
"I'm great except for getting old and wrinkly" joked the Third Hokage.
Naruto gave a little giggle at this.
"Sensei did you organize a house for us?" asked the Sannin.
"Yes. And I believe Naruto wants to start as a shinobi. I have enlisted him for the last month in the Academy, then he will have his Gennin exams that he will probably pass easily and then he will begin his life as a shinobi of the leaf." said Sarutobi.
"Great" replied Naruto.
"And what of you Jiraiya, what will you be doing?" asked Sarutobi.
"I will teach some of the new gennin from Naruto's class but I will not do missions" answered Jiraiya.
"OK. I understand you will restart as a Special Jounnin only instucting a few shinobi" said Sarutobi throwing him a scroll that said Jounnin jacket."You may change the colour and anything you want with it."
"Cool" said Jiraiya"Since when was the rule of always the same abolished?"
"Just a month ago actually" said Sarutobi"Know for your house arrangements. IRUKA!" shouted Sarutobi.
A young, tall man appeared with a cut along his face.
"Yes, Hokage-sama?"
"I want you to take Jiraiya & Naruto to the house that your class prepared last week"said Sarutobi"I would also like you to meet your new student, Naruto. He will be in your class for a month, starting tomorrow"
"Hello Naruto. My name is Iruka and I will be your teacher for the upcoming month." said Iruka.
"Hi" replied the blond kid.
Then Iruka escorted them to a house in the middle of the town. It was a big 2 story house with 4 bedrooms, a dojo & a few dummies in the back yard. It was obvious that it had all been done quite recently. They unsealed their stuff and went for some ramen at a place called 'Ichiraku Ramen'. Naruto got quite fond of that restaurant quite quickly.
