AN: PLEASE READ! Okay so this is a challenge that someone gave me. I am going to try to write this story however difficult it may be. Therefore if you have an idea don't be scared to tell me in your review or pm me. If it is underneath the guidelines for me to do it and I like it I will add it to the story. it may start out pretty rough but it should get better as i go along. Without further ado I will begin.

Chapter 1: Meet Uzumaki Naruto

Naruto POV

For as long as I could remember people, had glared at me and shot me dirty looks while murmuring underneath their breaths, "look at the demon" and "how dare that demon look like the mighty Kushina" or "it is horrible that he looks so much like Kushina one would think he was her child".

I wanted to yell at them when they did that for I had long ago learned of my parentage. Their "mighty" Kushina was my mom, and they would boil over if they knew that Minato was my dad. But, nope, they can keep treating me like trash; I will become strong and then be the best hokage so that I can protect them all.

I may only be ten but I am strong already. If you sat in on one of my academy classes you would think I was weak. All I do there is fool around, but if you watch me when I disappear to an hidden training ground then you find out that at ten years old I am strong as a chunin.

But I am also not a fool. I know that spouting out my true strength and parentage will only get me killed. As strong as my parents are they must have deadly enemies and a lot of the council (corrupt bastards that they are) will call for my death if they find out I am this strong as an academy student.

So I am biding my time and letting Sasuke kick my ass in spars, and I act like a knuckle head. I can't wait until I graduate and can get out of this kill-me orange and stop holding back so much.

Today I am going to Jiji to tell him about my deceit and that I know who my parents are. I am scared to do it because Jiji may not believe me, and I know he will tell me that I am not allowed to tell anyone who my parents are but it will be nice to know for sure that they are my parents.

As I walked through the village toward Jiji's office I thought about what kind of training I was going to do today. I figured I could try to complete the new chakra control exercise that I have been trying to master. I think I will spend today focusing on my chakra control and taijutsu.

When I finally got to Jiji's office I met the secretary, and we had our usual battle on whether or not Jiji was available. It was stopped when Jiji came down and said he can come through I have a thirty minute opening.

"Follow me, young Naruto," Sarutobi said.

Once Sarutobi had settled into his chair he turned and asked, "So what brings you here today, Naruto?"

I replied, "I need to tell you two things. The first is that I am strong enough to graduate the academy and the second is that I know who my parents are."

In the silence that followed I started to get nervous and feel that I shouldn't have said anything then he spoke.

"So, Naruto, the first thing I want to talk to you about is you being strong enough to graduate. I have checked on your test scores and none of them suggest that you have the strength, but I trust you so would you mind meeting me Saturday to test it," Sarutobi said. "If you pass the test we will go from there."

I smiled and said, "I can go with that!"

He then approached the topic of my parents. "So you have figured out who your parents are," Sarutobi said. "Would you mind telling me who they are so I can verify that you have it right," he asked me.

I know that they are Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato are my parents. I have my mom's hair and eye colors. I am built like my dad, though. If I had blonde hair and blue eyes I would be a carbon copy of him.

"I see, well, yes, those are your parents but why haven't you told anyone," Sarutobi asked.

"I haven't told anyone because all that will do is get me killed. At first I was mad you didn't tell me, especially since it was so obvious, but then I started to think about it and I realized that my parents must have enemies as powerful as they were. If those enemies caught wind of me I would be a dead kid, so I kept my mouth shut."

"How long have you known," Sarutobi asked me.

"I have known about my parents since last year that is when I started training ultra-hard to get strong enough to live up to their legacy. My will to be hokage has grown since I found out that my dad was hokage, because now I need to be better than him so that the villagers will stop hating me and not compare me to him once they find out he is my dad."

Sarutobi looked at me then spoke, "I think you will do just fine haha, and I have some stuff from your parents to give you."

I was given a photo album, a key and a letter. I decided to look at them all later, so I put them inside my school bag.

Sarutobi told me, "The key is to your house that belonged to your parents. The letter should open if you let a drop of blood spill on it and inside the letter is the explanation of how to get to your house and in it," Sarutobi explained. "The album is full of pictures of your parents and their friends," he told me.

"Naruto, I have to let you go but be here at 8 am on Saturday, and I will take you to where we will assess your skills, okay," Sarutobi asked.

"You have my word that I will be here Jiji."

I walked home to my apartment and decided to clean it up a bit and decided to call it a night.

AN: So what do you guys think? I know I am making him mature. I don't plan on following canon exactly right because they didn't say I had to. I will follow it a bit changing a few things here and there before I branch off completely.
