Naruto the Celestial Sage
~prologue~
As Naruto ran through the streets he felt very angry and sad. Now most would wonder why… you see despite being only four years old Naruto has seen and felt more than most Shinobi war veterans. At the moment this small boy was running away from a mob that had formed not even twenty minutes ago, and was now calling for his blood. As he ran through the streets he couldn't help but be thankful for Kyuubi helping him with both his endurance and stamina. Many people would be shocked that Naruto even knew about the Kyuubi being sealed in him let alone the fact that the fox was helping him. Naruto had met the fox two years ago after he had been kicked out of the orphanage and beaten severely.
The Hokage had no idea that he had been homeless for two years. Every time he tried to visit the old man the guards stopped him and refused to let him in. Naruto's only saving grace was the fact that the library allowed him in. Surprisingly enough, they had no problems with him and even helped him whenever they could. Because of this Naruto was extremely advanced for his age. He already knew both the tree-walking and water-walking exercises, something that was extremely important considering his large chakra reserves. He was currently working on being able to walk up a waterfall but it was a painfully slow process. He was working on master the shadow dragon taijutsu style. He was half way through the forms, which were really hard since the style required both speed and strength. As such he had managed to steal some chakra weights from one of his would be drunken attackers. As he neared the forest he was going to hide in he couldn't help but grin at the thought of becoming a ninja. He would be entering the academy in four years and he was terribly excited. He leaped the fence and quickly ran into the training ground.
As soon as the mob got close enough to see where he had run to they stopped at the fence, paled then turned around and went back home. Naruto was always puzzled as to why they did this and it wasn't until just a few weeks ago the he was living in what was pleasantly known as the forest of death. It didn't scare him; he knew the place like the back of his hand and how to treat the animals to avoid being eaten. He treated all life with respect something that would surprise most seeing as how he was treated all his life. He crawled into his tree house and began to study. He wanted to be equally prepared for the academy and as such was working on the three jutsu required to pass the exam. He had already mastered the Henge and Kiwimrimi to the point of not needing the hand seals or having to call out the name of the technique. The way he saw it both were a weakness as it let your enemies know what technique your using, stupid idea in his opinion. He was hoping to graduate early as he had no interest learning about what the shodaime ate for breakfast every morning.
However he had one goal before he would graduate. Several months ago he found a scroll in the library that talked about the Uzumaki clan. Ever since then he wanted to go to whirlpool and see where his ancestors came from. He knew that the Hokage knew who his parents where, however if the old man wouldn't tell him he would find out on his own. In his opinion everyone had the basic right to at least know where they came from, but like many other things that should be basic rights he didn't get it. So tomorrow he would be leaving the village to go to whirlpool and see what was left. He already had food and supplies packed and sealed in storage scrolls he bought from a store after learning the Henge. Another thing he was learning was fuuinjutsu. He knew that many people had problems with it and found it incredibly difficult but he took to it like a fish to water. He was only at beginner level four which is actually higher than most people ever reached.
See there are five main levels in fuuinjutsu; Beginner, Intermediate, Adept, Expert and Master. Jiraiya of the Sannin was an Adept, Namikaze Minato was an Expert. Every level had 6 levels within them each two times harder than the one before. So the fact that a four year old boy was a level four beginner was beyond impressive. Naruto knew that had the Fourth lived he would have become a Master, however he died before then. As Naruto put all of his things in the storage scroll he could almost see how incredible it would be to become a master in one of the most powerful areas to have ever existed. Well to him anyways.
