A 6 year old was sprinting as fast as he could away from a mob of angry villagers. Today was October 10, Naruto Uzumaki's birthday and the day the Kyuubi attacked Konoha six years ago. For some reason instead of a small group of people, hundreds would come and try and get a whack at him. They called it 'Demon Hunting Day', while Naruto called it 'Hell'. A scream rose out of an alleyway. The villagers had cornered him and were beating him again. Why, WHY did this have to happen to him he thought. Why couldn't I have a birthday with presents and family and hugs and love? He began to lose consciousness as these thoughts drifted. He closed his eyes and waited for death.

IN MINDSCAPE

"W-where am I" Naruto said as he rose up from the murky sewer water. He looked around a bit and found a cage. He heard something growl and backed up.

"Little one…Rip this seal of so I can get rid of all your problems for you" it said with a devilish smirk. He saw razor sharp fangs and red demonic eyes. But that didn't faze him a bit. If this thing could get rid of the pain, sorrow, misery and all his problems he would gladly rip the seal. He grabbed the seal (Because he started flowing up with the water). He started tearing but was stopped by a man. He was afraid of a fist connecting with his face so he closed his eyes. He opened them but saw he was in a plain white room! He was about to ask this mysterious man with the creepy eyes why he did that when he said, "Naruto, I am the Sage of Six Paths. What family bloodlines I come from in you I do not know about. But you must know that I am your ancient ancestor. I will give you my ocular power, wisdom and will train you in your mindscape here until you're 12.

"THAT'S 6 YEARS!" Naruto yelled.

"Why do you care, everyone you know hates you beyond comprehension. Please Naruto, train with me. I want to see my ancestry go on when I am released of my duties. Not only that but you have potential and I would like to make you the greatest shinobi this world has seen….Do you accept" he said with a smile that only made Naruto happier. This man he barely knew was being nice to him, saying he has potential and offering him strength and wisdom. The only thing was the eyes part.

"Not to be rude sensei but what's wrong with you eyes?" The sage sighed. Here was the hard part, telling Naruto about the Rinnegan. The sage thought of some important facts his eyes. He got some good info and began.

"Naruto these eyes that I have and that you'll soon have is the most powerful of the Three Great Dōjutsu. Its name is the Rinnegan. I was the first person to acquire the Rinnegan. The right now is only one other person in history who has it but you'll be the third he said, a small smile making its way across his lips. You don't have to train with me but you'll be far weaker than training with me. You do not have to accept."

"I….I ACCEPT sensei."

"That's my boy!"
