Welcome to my story guys! I decided I needed to get off my ass and actually try to write something for once. I've been on this site for a number of years, and there are a lot of things that I like, and there are quite a few things I would like to see improved. This is my best shot at writing story I would improve of! First off this is going to be my spin on a neglected Naruto fic. This story will be Naruhina, and finally this will not be a story where Naruto is throwing around earth shattering jutsus. Naruto will be a strong in this fic, just not in a way I see often done.

You guys know the deal, I don't own Naruto, Naruto is owned by Kishimoto

"RUN! YOU NEED TO RUN! IF YOU STOP SHE WILL DIE!"

The voice of Kurama, the nine tailed fox, roared through Naruto's mind. Limbs burning, and breathing raggedly, Naruto did his best to stay in pursuit of the ninja that was carrying the sack that held his best friend. If he was just able to keep up, he would be able to distract the unmarked ninja long enough so that help could arrive. Damn, f only his parents had trained him with the same intensity that they had taught his sister!

The day had started ordinarily enough. Six year old Naruto stirred, woken by the sun shining in his room. The house that he shared with his family had many windows, and Naruto's twin sister often left them open in order to get Naruto out of bed relatively on time. Yawning, Naruto got dressed in a simple pair of blue civilian shorts and a orange t-shirt.

"Naruto! Wake up! It's time for breakfast, dattebane!" It was Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki, a beautiful red haired woman that had earned the respect and love of Naruto's father, Minato Namikaze, the fourth hokage.

"Coming Kaa-Chan!" Naruto threw open his bedroom door and bounded down the stairs to the modest dining room where his family was waiting for him.

"Good morning Naruto," Minato said while smiled at his son, before turning back to his paperwork. Naruto's sister, Mito, was the next to give him a greeting. "If Kaa-chan never yelled for you, we didn't think you were ever going to wake up!" Mito was a short girl that had inherited her mother's red hair. In fact, she was a spitting image of Kushina when she was young!

"Leave your brother alone Mito," while reaching down to give her son a kiss on the forehead. "Now eat up you too! Both of you have big days ahead of you!'

"Oh! I almost forgot! I get to spend the day with Hinata-Chan today!" Instantly Naruto was energized, excited to spend the day with his best friend. Usually Naruto would watch as his parents taught Mito her lessons in the ninja arts, but today Naruto got to train with Hinata, and her father was going to teach both of them!

The day Naruto and Mito were born, the village hidden in the leaves was attacked by the kyuubi, the nine tailed fox. Many lives were lost before Minato Namikaze was able to teleport the rampaging bijuu outside the village. Working together with his predecessor, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato was able to split the chakra and consciousness of the fox and sealed them into Mito and Naruto, respectively. Sadly, Hiruzen died when the shinigami, the god of death and the afterlife, took his soul as payment for using the Reaper's death seal, a jutsu that took the life of the person who casted it.

Because the chakra of the kyuubi was inherently more chaotic then the soul, Mito had begun training with their parents at a young age. Naruto, who held the much more passive and cooperative mind of the kyuubi, would watch and observe his twin sisters training, excited for his chance to get stronger with his family. However jealous he was of his sister, he understood that she needed help controlling the foxes chara. Without the soul to control it, the foxes chakra raged endlessly within her.

"Who's making all of that noise! I am trying to sleep!"

"Speak of the devil."

Naruto laughed. Without the malicious intent that it's chakra gave, Kurama, the fox, was much more helpful than everyone would have thought. Sure he was grumpy, but he had grown to like Naruto through the years. Naruto also felt safe with the foxes company, and the two had worked together to pull off some impressive pranks, much to the ire of the innocent bystanders of Konoha. Naruto's pranks had also drawn the curiosity of Hinata Hyuuga, Naruto's best friend. Hinata was a shy violet haired girl that possessed the byakugan, a bloodline ocular jutsu that granted the user 360 degree sight as well as the ability to see the chakra network of others. The poor girl had gotten roped into a the infamous Uchiha Purple Underwear Scandal and had been glued to the boys side ever since. They were basically inseparable!

"You humans are all so loud. It's a wonder your species is able to get anything done with all the shouting you do."

Inside the seal on Naruto's navel, Kurama yawned. Unlike the inside of Mito's seal, which was similar to a massive ocean of crimson chakra, the inside of Naruto's seal manifested as a giant sewer that held the consciousness of the kyuubi.

"You think we are loud? Your snoring kept me up all night!"

"Quiet ningen. I want you to pay attention to what the Hyuuga clan head says, I have a strange feeling about today."

After finishing a light breakfast with his family, Naruto wrapped a red scarf around his neck before leaving his house to jog to the Hyuuga clan compound. The scarf had been a 6th birthday gift from Hinata two months previously and Naruto insisted on wearing it everywhere. Naruto was so enamored with his gift, he begged his mother to teach him how to knit, and he had a purple scarf just like his to give to Hinata on her birthday! Sadly, at least to Naruto, a delegation from Cloud was currently occupying the Hyuuga clan's attention, Hinata wasn't going to have a huge birthday party like Naruto felt she deserved.

The village of Konoha was a bustling place, filled with both ninjas and civilians living their lives. Many gave greetings to Naruto on his way to the upper residential areas of the village, used to seeing him around the village. Because of Minato's diplomatic intelligence and skill, the citizens of Konoha were well aware of the separation between Naruto and his tenant, and treated him like any other child.

"I wonder what Hinata's dad is going to show us today!" Naruto exclaimed as he neared to Hyuuga compound. The guards let him in after saying hello, having grown used to the boy.

"HINATA!" yelled Naruto, sprinting into the compound where he knew where his friend was. "He-he-hello Naruto-kun," stuttered a blushing girl as Naruto gave her a hug in greeting. "Tou-sama is waiting for-for us in the tr-tr-training ground."

"LET'S GO!" Naruto excitedly grabbed Hinata's hand and practically pulled her into the clan's private training center.

"Hello Naruto-kun." spoke Hiashi, patriarch of the hyuuga clan. "Hinata has quite been quite excited to have you train with us today." Hinata glowed red as her father gave her a small jovial smile. The usually stoic clan head always made sure to treat his family with love out of the watchful eyes of the Hyuuga Elders. He hated what his clan was becoming, and he vowed to himself to keep his daughters away from the impossible standards the elders held for them.

"Today I will teach you a skill you both will use for the rest of your lives." Naruto was bouncing as both he and Hinata took a seat in front of Hishi.

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO TEACH US?! A POWERFUL JUTSU?! ARE YOU GOING TO TEACH US HOW TO USE A SWORD?!" Naruto exclaimed before being cut off by Hiashi.

"Patience Naruto. I am going to teach you both the art of meditation, the art of knowing oneself and your surroundings. "

Before Naruto could complain, Hinata put her hand on Naruto's arm to stop him.

"Na-na-Naruto-kun, Fa-fa-father wishes to teach us something im-im-important."

Naruto instantly shut up and quieted down. The children had an interesting dynamic. While Naruto was generally doing his best to get Hinata out of her shell, Hinata was also the only person to be able to calm Naruto and get him to pay attention.

"Thank you Hinata." Hiashi calmy said. "She is right Naruto. Meditation is an extremely important skill to master. When one meditates, they gain an vital knowledge of oneself. When you truly know yourself, anything is possible. Now do as I do."

_Later That Night_

Naruto walked close to the konoha's expansive forests, gazing at the stars as he went. It was here that Naruto felt most at peace. It had taken forever to get permission from his parents to walk here at night, but Naruto was not anything if not determined. He made sure to spend some time in this area as often as he could.

"You should listen to what White-eyes told you kit. He gave you some good advice, advice that will get you far."

"I know Kurama, but meditation is just so boring! I can't seem to calm down enough to clear my mind!"

"That would be a side effect of our situation kit. I am very attuned to emotion, and as my jinchuuriki you will sense them as well. It will be very important to learn how to control your emotions kit, because you will feel more than others."

"That makes sense I guess. I have always been able to sense-"

"NARUTO BE ON YOUR GUARD! I FEEL SOMETHING"

Naruto instantly stopped daydreaming and jumped into a stance. His years of working with Kurama made him realize that Kurama was dead serious.

"There kit! At the edge of the trees!"

Naruto looked where Kurama pointed out. There was a ninja! The ninja was obviously in a hurry, running in the direction away from the village. As Naruto started to gvve chase, he saw that the ninja was carrying an unconscious person on his back!

"HINATA!"
