Naruto Uzumaki was unusually quiet. This morning he woke up to take is ninja graduation exam for the third time. Just like his previous attempts he was thwarted by his inability to use the clone jutsu. As he sulked about his failure, one of his instructors informed of a secret makeup test he could use to pass. For this test he stole the Forbidden Scroll from the Hokage Tower and snuck into the woods to learn a technique which he was told would allow him to pass. The interference of another academy instructor revealed the test as a ploy to steal the scroll and kill him. To top it off Naruto learned he was the container for the Nine Tailed Fox and that it was the reason the village hated him. After receiving encouraging words from Iruka, Naruto used the Shadow Clone Jutsu he learned from the scroll to defeat the traitorous instructor Mizuki. Iruka then gave him his headband to signify his place as a shinobi for the village. The elite ANBU ninja then arrived on the scene to escort Iruka to the hospital and take Naruto and the scroll to the Hokage.

If that was all that happened then Naruto would have been able to roll with the punches and keep on acting like he used to.

Unfortunately, it wasn't.

When Naruto arrived in the Hokage's office, he was stunned to see the Fourth Hokage, the man who died to seal the fox in him, was very much alive. His wife also turned out to be alive and kicking and Naruto even met their daughter who was not only the same age as him but also had the same birthday as well. The Fourth Hokage then gave Naruto the world shaking news that has caused his slience.

It turns out that Naruto was the Son of the Fourth Hokage and his wife and was also the elder twin brother of Katsumi who was the REAL container of the Nine Tailed Fox. Minato (the Fourth Hokage) only sealed a small portion of the Fox's chakra into Naruto and said portion was to burn itself out that very night. It also turns out they were planning to marry Naruto to his twin and a few other clan heiresses to rebuild the Uzumaki clan even Sasune Uchiha, who had been living in a Henge as a boy since her older brother killed everyone in the Uchiha clan except her and her mother Mikoto, was in the list.

It has been exactly three minutes since then and Naruto is unusually quiet with his hair shadowing his eyes but not even the Third Hokage is worried. It is Katsumi who breaks the silence.

"Naruto-Nii?" She reached out slowly.

"Don't you fucking touch me you spoiled little brat." She flinches back at his harsh tone. The low volume of his words startling the adults gathered. Minato and Kushina couldn't believe he would talk to his sister and future wife like that while Hiruzen realized just how bad they had all fucked up. He thought Naruto's silence was a sign of his acceptance but now that he heard Naruto curse he knew the young Uzumaki was ABSOLUTELY LIVID.

"Naruto, apologize to your sister at once!" Kushina tried to admonish her son (she really did it's just Katsumi never acted out so she never had to be punished so this is really all she knows).

"Go fuck a tree you hypocritical piece of shit." Kushina's jaw dropped open and Kastumi covered her mouth as she gasped.

"You can't talk to your family like that young man." Minato held Naruto in his parental glare.

"Families raise their kids. They don't abandon a child just because that kid 'might' draw attention away from training." He put emphasis on the word might. Minato was flabbergasted that his son would talk like this to him. Naruto points to the Hiruzen. "Did you know about any of this?" The Third's slience speaks for itself. "Right." Naruto walks up to the desk and flips through the papers until he comes upon his incomplete registration form. He gives it a quick once-over to find his signature already on it, as well as his full name and family relations filled out. The only thing missing was the stamp of approval. "I don't remember signing this."

"That's because I did it for you." Naruto looks at Minato. "I had a feeling you'd be like your mother and not want to do it so I stepped in."Naruto's blank stare gets him to elaborate. "You see as your father and a previous and future Hokage, I have the right to submit those forms for you and Hiruzen told us all how you wanted to be the greatest Hokage ever." Naruto turns to the Third and stares directly into his eyes.

"That so?"

"Yup!" Minato was estatic. "Maybe there's a chance to salvage this after all." Naruto then stuns the room by tearing the form to shreds and letting the pieces fall to the office floor all while retaining eye contact with the Third. He then removes the headband Iruka gave him and puts it on the desk, his orange jacket soon following it.

"Naruto-Nii, why would you do that? Don't you want to be a ninja with me?" Katsume looked ready to cry.

"Professionally speaking? Fuck no." Tears began to fall down his sister's cheeks. "Personally speaking, Right now I wouldn't give two fucks if the lot of you got opened up like one of Orochimaru's experiments and bled out on the floor." The adults gained serious expressions while Katsume fell to her knees openly weeping at Naruto's words.

"And exactly how do you know of my former student's experiments?" The Third Hokage asked the young blond.

"Stumbling into one of his old labs is the only reason I survived my fifth, sixth, and eighth birthdays. There is some messed up shit down there." The Third's eyes widened, he thought his old student only had one lab in the village.

"How many labs did he have? How many did I fail to save from my negligence?"

"Regardless, you have no right to talk to us like that." Minato folded his arms in front of his chest.

"I have no right?" The question didn't really sound like a question.

"Exactly, there's no reason for to be acting like this." Kushina was backing her husband.

"That's actually pretty funny." The Namikaze trio was visibly confused. "You abandoned me for fifteen years in this shithole of village to be beaten on a daily basis for something that isn't even true. Then you walk in here acting all high and mighty expecting me to welcome you back with wide open arms after all this time and concede to your every wish. You want to put me in an arranged marriage with my own twin and who knows who else you picked. And to top it all of you expect me to take all this shit with smile on my face because you're my family?" He lets out a dark chuckle. "The funniest part was the family shtick. You see I learned something from the academy about certain rules in certain clans. One in particular stood out. It was the first tenant of the Uzumaki Clan." He sends a pointed look to Kushina. "You should be familiar with it. Never abandon blood no matter the result…" Kushina pales. "To abandon blood is to disown blood. Any claim the Uzumaki clan had on me was forfeit the day you left me here."

"That's why you are marrying as heir of the Namikaze clan." Minato pointed out.

"No I'm not. You married the Uzumaki heiress meaning you married into the Uzumaki clan and are subject to their laws. That's means you gave up your familial rights to me as well. I am officially a ward of the state with no ties to either of your families other then the blood in my veins. I also own an apartment, which means I have been officially recognized as an adult of this village for seven years. None of you can make decisions about me without my express consent and since I'm a civilian, you can't touch me." Katsumi was looking at their (now they're just hers) parents, hoping her (former) brother's words were false. Kushina turned away, unable to look her daughter in the eye.

"Naruto perhaps you're being a bit too unfair. Look at it from their point of view."

"My apologies Honorable Third Hokage but that is exactly what I am doing. I will, however, admit my emotions may be clouding my judgment and as such I shall take my leave and go to the only place in this village I am actually safe at. Good day." Naruto walks to the office door, Katsumi snaps from her sadness.

"Naruto-nii…"

"I SAID GOOD DAY!" He raised his voice for the first time the entire meeting. Katsumi visibly recoiled at his shout and silently watched as he left the office.

"Hiruzen, what happened to our son to make him like this?"

"I am an old man, Minato. There are many things I regret. Failing your son is the biggest of them all."

"What do you mean you failed him?" Kushina asked. The Third took his seat behind the desk and sighed. He had a feeling he would be doing that a lot more.

"You two need to realize the village was in a major panic after the Kyuubi attack. There may not have been that many casualties but people were stilled frightened and the village suffered damage that would takes years to fix. I couldn't let them know a masked Uchiha caused the attack and the two of you took your daughter to train and beat him. Or that you sealed a portion of the Kyuubi's chakra into him to make a fake Jinchuuriki so as to protect your daughter. So in my stupidity, I called the council together and informed them that the two of you were dead and acted as though Naruto was the real Jinchuuriki."

"I don't see the problem. They should be treating him like a hero." Minato interrupted the Third Hokage.

"They didn't. The second I let the council know about Naruto, they were calling for his blood and calling him the demon reborn. I passed a law that made Naruto's burden an S-ranked secret. I was foolish enough to believe they would listen to me due to my reinstatement. By the time the sun rose everyone knew what happened in the council chambers."

"The 'Honorable Council' revealed an S-ranked secret? About time you finally got rid of those dumb bastards. Where are they buried?"

"I can assure you Kushina, they are very much alive. Due to a majority of the shinobi holding the same hate for the beast, I was never able to find out who leaked the information and couldn't punish the ones responsible."

"What did they do to Onii-san?"

"To make a long story short, in the last fifteen years Naruto has been the victim of 4238 mob beatings, 715 attempted murders and 6 kidnappings. The worst part of it being that all those came from inside the village walls. Not to mention the fact that most shopkeepers wouldn't even allow the boy in their stores and the ones that did triple charged him for goods. I had to give him an apartment when he was eight because the orphanage kicked him out on his fourth birthday. The only place that was ever nice to him was Ichiraku Ramen, even the academy was stunting his growth and teaching him in a way that would have gotten him killed. This was his third and LAST chance to graduate and MY last chance to fix my mistakes with the boy and get him some kind of support or friends." Katsumi's open balling drew a saddened look from the old man. Kushina embraced her daughter, trying to give her support as her own tears fell. Minato stood gazing out the office window with an impassive gaze. "However…" The Namikaze family turned as one. "…despite everything that was thrown at him, he would stand up and smile. That same smile you used to give and that your daughter most likely mastered as well." Mother and daughter began to smile as they held each other closer. "I asked him how he could keep smiling through it all. He said he'd become the greatest Hokage the village had ever seen and gain everyone's respect."

(WITH NARUTO)

The blonde walked down the empty street with a blank face. His hands curled into fists so tight that blood was dripping to the ground. He needed something to vent his frustrations on.

"Where the hell do you think you're going demon brat?" A pompous Chunnin stood in Naruto's path. Naruto growled at the man. He smirked. "So the Kyuubi really IS showing its true colors. I thought Mizuki was just drunk. Be careful, a civilian attacking a ninja is a serious offence. You're in enough trouble as it is by stealing the scroll and assaulting Mizuki."

"Mizuki tricked me into to doing it and he tried to kill me. I was defending myself. If you don't believe me then you can ask Iruka."

"You mean the late Umino?" Naruto's eyes widened. "The poor man was brought into the hospital saying Mizuki attacked him and that his injuries came from protecting you. He was obviously under some kind of mind control so he had to be put down before his madness could spread to all the honest people of the village."

"Why the hell are you telling me this?"

"What are you talking about? You were seen leaving the village by the north gate to escape your trial."

"Wha…." Naruto is grabbed from behind, a white cloth covering his mouth. Despite his struggles, Naruto soon passes out and is flung over the shoulder of his attacker, now revealed as an ANBU agent.

"Make sure that thing stays locked up for at least a week." The ANBU nods and disappears in a sunshin. The chunnin let out a low chuckle, a poof of smoke dispelling his henge and revealing one Kakashi Hatake. "How did sensei lose to something that stupid?" He pulls a familiar orange book from his pouch, giving an occasional perverted chuckle as he made his own way home. No one would know what caused his disappearance and very few would care about him at all when their Fourth Hokage returned to the position, even with his news.

(PROLOGUE: END)

This is actually a challenge. The only requirements are the events displayed MUST take place in your story in one way or another. Everything else is up to whoever decides to write it. Just be sure to send me the link to the story if you're interested in doing the challenge.

EDIT NOTE(12-16-12): It's been pointed out that I didn't go into enough detail to make this a challenge so I'll set some ground work.

1. Iruka isn't actually dead. It was just a lie to get Naruto to drop his guard.

2. No Konoha girls can be paired with Naruto. He doesn't trust anyone from Konoha anymore.

3. No one will ever know of Kakashi's role in Naruto's disappearance since Kakashi is never going to tell and Naruto doesn't know he was involved. The ANBU that performed the abduction MUST DIE in one way or another for this to work.

4. Naruto will just go by his first name to avoid associating with his family.

5. Whether he goes back to Konoha or works for another village is completely up to whoever takes the challenge. Same goes for training, specialty, and so on as long as they DON'T include any Uzumaki Jutsu or either of Minato's personal creations.
