Chapter One

Naruto Uzumaki was crying on his bed. He had failed the Genin Exam for the second time. He was eleven years old. A clanless nobody who had no one to help him train. He had been constantly beaten by the villagers, overcharged for food and the village down right hated him. For what reason he did not know.

Let's take our attention off Naruto for a moment and let's turn to the man who was watching all of this transpire through a crystal ball.

(Hokage's Office)

The Third Hokage sighed. He was tired of this. But he had made a promise to his predecessor/successor; Minato Namikaze and his wife; Kushina Uzumaki.

The Hokage decided enough was enough. He wrote a quick message and attached it to a messenger bird.

He waited patiently for ten minutes when there was a knock on his office door.

"Come in", he called.

The door opened an in walked a woman. Anko Mitarashi.

Anko has light brown, pupil-less eyes, and violet colored hair which is styled in a short, spiky, fanned-ponytail. She was wearing a tan overcoat with a purple in-seam, which has a pocket on both sides, and complete with a fitted mesh body suit that stretches from her neck down to her thighs. She also had on a dark orange mini-skirt, as well as a forehead protector, a small pendant that looks like a snake fang on a thick cord rather than a chain to prevent it from being easily torn off in combat, a wrist watch, and pale grey shin guards. She also wears a dark blue belt around her waist that connects to her skirt that has an appendage-like sash.

"You called me Lord Hokage", she said as she stood in front of her Hokage.

"How would you like to be a Jounin-sensei?", he asked shocking her.

"Depends on the brat I'm training", she said recovering from her shock.

"Naruto Uzumaki".

"The Kyuubi Jinchuriki?", she asked and he only nodded. She begun to think. Anko had nothing against Naruto being a Jinchuriki. Both lived teribble lives and Anko saw the brat as a hero for holding the beast within it's cage.

Both had been called names and treated badly for something they didn't have any part in. Naruto had been called 'Demon Brat' and 'Demon' while she had been called 'Snake Whore' and 'Snake Bitch' all for something her sensei; Orochimaru of the Sannin had done.

"I accept, did he pass the exams?", she asked.

"No, the next exams are in seven months, I want you to train him, bring him back, let him pass the exams and you and him will form a team…still accept?", the Third Hokage said/asked.

"Of course, we can both relate to each other about our past…is that why you chose me?", she asked.

"Yes it is, but before any of this is official there is some highly sensitive information that you must learn", he said his voice now serious.

"What is it?", she asked in return just as serious after sensing his seriousness.

He scribbled something on a piece of paper and handed it to her.

"Read it".

She read it and had wide eyes.

"Burn it".

He commanded it and she did it no questions asked.

"Now this is the last time I'm asking, will you do it?", he said/asked.

"Gladly, who wouldn't want to", she said with glee.

"I will send a messenger bird to inform him while you get tue necessary items to train him…by the way he needs training in everything", he warned she nodded and dashed out with a happy smile.

Hiruzen was also smiling.

And as for Anko, you can't really blame her, who wouldn't want to train the legacy of both Konoha's Yellow Flash and Konoha's Red Hot-Blooded Habanero.

(Naruto's Apartment)

Naruto awoke to the sound of glass being tapped. He opened an eye to see a messenger hawk tapping its beam on his bedroom window.

He went to it to see a letter tied to its ankle. He took it and dismissed the messenger bird.

He opened and read;

Naruto,

I would like for you to come to my office at nine o'clock today. We have some matters to discuss.

Third Hokage,

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Naruto watched the clock. Eight thirty. He quickly got dressed. Instead of wearing his orange jumpsuit he wore a plain t-shirt with blue cargo pants. He locked his apartment and left.

While walking through the village he sighed. When it came to Konoha and himself he didn't know chicken shit.

Why was he hated? Who were his parents? What were their names? He asked himself these questions everyday but to no avail.

Every time he asked the Old Man one of the questions he would respond with either, 'You're not ready' or 'When the time is right'.

His train of thought was disrupted as he arrived at the Hokage Tower. He walked right in not even paying attention to the glares sent by the Hokage's secretary.

"You can't go in there. Lord Hokage doesn't want any visitors…especially from the likes of you", the secretary spat.

Naruto simply watched the secretary.

"What time is it?".

She grunted and responded' "Five minutes to nine".

Her answer was a paper thrown in her face and him walking into the office of the Third.

(Hokage's Office)

Hiruzen waited in his office. Also in his office were his past student Jiraiya of he Sannin and Anko.

"Where is the gaki?", Anko asked seeing the time five to nine.

"He still has five minutes Anko-chan", the Hokage told her and then they heard what sounded like arguing outside then. Naruto walked in grumbling something about 'adults being idiots'.

"You told me you wanted to talk Old Man", Naruto said then glanced at the others in the room. "And who are they?".

"This is my former student Jiraiya of the Sannin and the young woman is one of Konoha's top Special Jounin, Anko Mitarashi", Hiruzen introduced. Naruto glanced at then and then grinned at Jiraiya.

"You're the one who trained Lord Fourth", Naruto accused with a shit-eating grin plastered on his face.

"That's correct gaki", Jiraiya said.

"Back to business, Naruto-kun, Anko-chan has agreed to train you for the next seven months until the next Graduation Exam", the Hokage said.

Naruto watched her. Eyed her up and down, blushed the turned back to the Third.

"Anything else?", he asked.

"Just one more thing, I have decided it is time to tell you why you are hated", the aging Hokage said and Naruto's ears perked up.

"What!? What is it!?".

"Do you remember the story of the Fourth killing the Kyuubi?, Hiruzen asked.

A nod.

"Well the Kyuubi is a Bijuu or Tailed Beast, they cannot be killed so the only way to defeat it is to seal it away in a newborn baby", the Sarutobi clan head said glumly.

No. It can't be. But. It all made sense now. Getting called Demon, his insane Chakra levels that beat even the Hokage, his date of birth was the same day the Nine Tailed Fox had attacked and finally the whisker marks.

His gaze fell to the picture of the Fourth Hokage. Why? Why did he pick him? Was he the only baby to be born on that night?

"Why me!?", he muttered frantically.

"Naruto calm down", Jiraiya said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"CALM DOWN!? I JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY HERO SEALED A GIANT DEMON FOX WITH NINE TAILS IN ME AND YOU TELL KE TO CALM DOWN!?", he yelled as he fell tk his knees.

Jiraiya simply poked a spot in Naruto's neck and he slipped int unconsciousness.

"Are you going to examine the seal?", Anko asked fearing for the boy's safety.

"Yes", was all Jiraiya said as he took of Naruto t-shirt and channeled some of his Chakra into Naruto. But what happened shocked Jiraiya and Hiruzen.

On top of his Eight Signed Seal was another army of seals.

"What the hell!?", Jiraiya asked.

Jiraiya-kun, what is it?", Hiruzen asked.

"There is a number of seals on top of the seal holding the Kyuubi at bay, I see thirteen seals on top of it", Jiraiya informed his former sensei.

"Did Minato put it there?", Sarutobi asked taking a puff on his pipe.

"I see three 'Physical Growth Stopping' seals, two 'Distraction' seals, six 'Chakra Disruption' seals and finally two 'Anti-Knowledge'…so I'm guessing that Minato did NOT put seals on his son to make him an idiot", Jiraiya said the last part sarcastically.

"Can you remove them?", Anko asked.

"Yes, but it may take a while", was all he said as he activated a sleeping jutsu on Naruto and began to remove seals.

(Naruto's Mind Scape)

Naruto opened his eyes to see himself in a hallway. The walls were yellowish-brown, it had pipes running along the roof and walls. The floors were covered with ankle length water. It was like Konoha's sewer but different. How he knew? Naruto had spent a good amount of time in there hiding from mobs of people.

He walked forward and a minute later he came face to face with a door. The door was gigantic and had the Kanji for 'Kyuu' or nine on it.

He slowly opened the door and walked in. When the door closed behind him making a 'clang' red eyes with black slits opened.

Whatever it was chuckled darkly, "It seems my Host finally decided to pay me a visit", it said and Naruto came upon realization.

"The Kyuubi no Yoko I presume", Naruto replied in a bored tone.

"Yes, I am the Nine Tailed Fox, the strongest of the Bijuu, treat me with respect or I'll eat you", it roared.

"I'm not impressed", he said crossing his arms. "Plus, what would happen to you if I died?".

The Kyuubi didn't respond, it just growled.

Naruto sighed and walked into the cage. The Kyuubi growled at him but he ignored.

"Why are you in a sewer?", Naruto asked suddenly.

"Don't ask me, it's your mind", Kyuubi growled. Naruto sighed. The Kyuubi was right.

Naruto closed his eyes and began to think of a meadow. When he reopened his eyes the Kyuubi was in a meadow with the seal around its neck like a collar.

The Kyuubi watched Naruto up and down then shrunk to the size of a normal fox and jumped onto Naruto's head. It may have been the size of a normal fox but the addition of eight extra tails made Naruto stagger.

Naruto wondered if his life was normal…no it wasn't. Why you may ask? A fox with nine tails was on his head.

"Go into the real world", the fox said and Naruto felt himself being pulled away from his own mind.

(Real World)

Naruto opened his eyes to see Anko, Hiruzen and Jiraiya watching inti his own. Jiraiya had only been able to remove one seal.

Everyone was shocked as the Kyuubi walked on to Naruto's stomach and pumped Chakra into it. Five seconds later only the seal that held the Kyuubi remain.

"Hello Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Mitarashi, I am the Kyuubi and I have a proposal for Konoha", it spoke shocking the others except Naruto.

"How are you out here!?", Jiraiya asked frantically.

"Shut up and listen my time is limited, on the night I attacked that was not my intentions, I wanted to transfer myself into Naruto when he was born but Madara Uchiha as he said to the Fourth, he pulled me out of my last host body to attack Konoha, after his Genjutsu on me was released I continued attacking Konoha due to the way I was treated, my proposal, I stay in this form and train Naruto for the seven months along with Anko-san", it explained. The others seemed to be in deep thought and since Naruto's distraction seals were removed he began to catch on to what they were saying.

"How will we let you stay in this form Lord Kyuubi?", Anko asked and everyone looked at her like she was mad.

"Did you just call the Kyuubi 'Lord'?", Jiraiya asked.

"And if I did? He may be a demon fox but he still is the king of demons", she said in defense. The others nodded in agreement.

"Three questions Lord Kyuubi", Jiraiya said.

"Yes", it said as it turned its attention to the Perverted Sannin.

"How do we know you're not trying to escape? Why do you want to train Naruto? And how would we even keep you on his form?".

"Tailed Beast are creatures of Truth, that is just how Old Man Six Paths made us, I am training Naruto here as to not look weak, I have already been captured…again and will jot have a weak host and as for how we do it, the seal that keeps me at bay is split into eight parts, four is for Chakra access, two is to hold me at bay, one is mind access so Naruto can come in his mind to talk to me and the last is for freedom, you just have to remove freedom then select how many tails of power for me to have, just select one tail", it explained.

"What do you say Old Man?", Jiraiya asked the Hokage.

"I accept, Jiraiya, let Kyuubi guide you through the progress", the Hokage said as he went back to his desk and began sorting out scrolls.

"Alright Kyuubi, let's get started", Jiraiya said.

"Hey kit, channel Chakra and close your eyes, this is going to sting a little", it commanded and Naruto did as was told and the seal appeared. The Hokage cast a privacy jutsu and Jiraiya began to work.

Meanwhile Naruto had been thinking over what he had heard.

'Okay, an Uchiha made Kyuubi attack the village, Madara Uchiha, is he related to Sasuke-Teme, it also appears the Kyuubi was trying to seal itself in me during my birth…what can that mean? Was my mother his last host? Was it someone who had to help my mother during childbirth? All these questions and no answers. Maybe I'll ask Kyuubi another time, maybe at the end of the training…I can't believe it. I'm getting training from a Special Jounin and the Kyuubi no Yoko, and since Kyuubi will be out he can be my partner. I can't wait to hand the Teme's ass to him in the Graduation Exam. This is going to be awesome, I'll be Hokage in no time'.

He then began thinking about kicking Sasuke's ass.

(Naruto's Apartment)

Unsealing Kyuubi had taken an hour. He was now the size of a normal fox with one tail that rode atop Naruto's hair that was now red. His whisker marks were also gone and his eyes had changed color.

He had began to panic when he heard this but Kyuubi told him to calm down and that it was normal for Uzumaki's to have red hair and silver eyes.

While walking through the village everyone saw the fox on top of Naruto's head and snarled but when Kyuubi snarled back they retreated in fear.

He opened up his back pack and packed all of his clothes in it. He took out one of the two scrolls that Jiraiya had given him and sealed all of his ramen like Jiraiya had shown him.

The last he sealed his back pack and essentials and ran to the gate.

(At The Gate)

Jiraiya and Anko waited patiently for Naruto.

Anko watched in her hand. She was holding three scrolls. One was to give Naruto upon the completion of his training. It was a blood scroll so no one knew what was in it. One had a the sword used by Kushina Uzumaki in it. The last was filled with books upon books and scrolls.

Books for history, math, science, Chakra control etcetera.

Naruto ran up to them just as she rose her head.

"You ready gaki?", Jiraiya; who had suggested accompanying them, asked.

"Ready as I'll ever be, I can't wait to come back and kicked the arrogance out of that arrogant Uchiha", he said and the others smirked at Naruto's attitude.

He was definitely going to kick some arrogance out of the Uchiha.

(Meanwhile)

Sasuke rubbed his nose. He had been sneezing for about an hour.

'What the hell is wrong with me!? Someone must be talking about me saying how strong and cool I am. I don't blame them I am an elite after all'.

(Yeah, you keep on telling yourself that)

(Hokage Office)

"Come in".

A man entered through the door. He wore standard Chuunin outfit but had black hair and a scar across the bridge of his nose.

"You summoned me Lord Hokage", he said.

"Yes I did Iruka-san, please tell me everything about Naruto Uzumaki in the academy, grades and whatnot", the Hokage urged.

"He is at the bottom of his classes, the only subject he except in is the stealth portion which is surprising as he wears bright orange and goes around yelling he'll become Hokage, he loses all of his spars, his Taijutsu is the worst, it's like he just can't learn, he has absolutely no talent for Genjutsu with his reserves and can only do the Transformation and Substitution jutsus…uh and he made a special transformation…he also can't do the Clone jutsu", he said.

"I have seen his special Transformation first hand, a brilliant jutsu indeed", the Hokage said with a perfect grin.

Iruka grinned with him.

"Back to the topic at hand, do you want to know why he has been failing his classes?", Sarutobi asked.

"Is the Kyuubi messing with his intelect!?", he asked in horror.

"No, however some has", the Hokage said then held up thirteen pieces of paper, "someone put these sealsnon him, they messed with his physical, mental and Chakratal growth meaning he's the shortest for a reason, he acts like an idiot for a reason and his Chakra control is disrupted for a reason".

"Is that why he can't do the Clone jutsu?", Iruka asked.

"No, Naruto just has to much Chakra, dismissed, I have to get back to paperwork".

Iruka got up and leaved leaving the Third to sulk at his misfortune.
