Summary: The chakra left by Minato in Naruto had a consciousness of its own. And it had a different plan-to guide Naruto. Now how much will his pseudo father change Narutos life?
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto.
Prologue
It was dark and foggy. A fine mist of chakra surrounded him as he came into consciousness for the first time. Well, not exactly surrounded him as HE was the chakra itself. Now why exactly was he conscious? Chakra don't develop consciousness of there own.
'Hmm,' thought the individual, 'it's got to be that Shadow Clone phenomenon. I am just a clone without a body. And all clones must follow there creators orders. So what is mine?'
No matter how much the Chakra Clone thought, he couldn't find the answer.
'I guess I ought to stop wasting time and see what's going on around here' the Clone thought to himself and began drifting around. After a few minutes of wandering around, his patience began running out. What the hell was up with this place? It was a maze AND a swamp!
"Such an irritating place" the pseudo Minato spoke to himself. With a defeated sigh, he began wandering again.

Young Naruto was a loner, and he knew it. No matter how much he tried to socialize with other children of his age, they would never hang around with him. He was always an outsider, someone who didn't belong to there group. And children who live in such condition never grow up 'normally'. Naruto, being neglected and ignored, learned to live with it. With a smile on his face. A smile that chilled the older, experienced shinobi. Because it was not the smile of a child, it was the smile of a demon.
