(I've decided to delete and reupload most of my Naruto fics to correct certain mistakes. I hope you enjoy it as much as you did the first time.)
One night in the village of Konoha, a young blonde haired boy with whisker marks on his cheeks, along with wearing ragged clothing was running from a mob carrying blunt objects and shouting random threats.
"Get back here demon!"
"We're finishing what the fourth started!"
"This is for all the pain you've caused us!"
"Today you die for good!"
The boy who was running was in thought, 'Why do they keep doing this I didn't do anything to them.' Because he wasn't concentrating on where he was running he ended up tripping and fell right on his face.
"We gotcha now demon!" a ninja said as the mob was right on top of him.
"No please!" the boy covered his eyes in fear.
Right when one village was about to beat him with a club a sai was thrown right at it knocking the club out of his hand and the sai itself was impaled into a building's wall.
"What the?" one villager gasped until they heard voices.
"If there's one thing I hate above anything it's messing with little kids." One voice said sounding rough.
"Attacking a defenseless child is dishonorable for a ninja." A wise voice added.
"I agree father. So let's show them what happens when you act dishonorable." Another voice said.
"Who's there, show yourselves!" a ninja demanded.
That ninja who was shouting fell to the floor as something zipped past him but remained in the shadows.
"What was that?" another ninja gasped until he was inevitably knocked out to.
Soon the ninjas were being knocked out by some unknown force that was keeping itself hidden in the shadows. Terrified thinking it was some kind of spirit the villagers fled in fright while the boy covered his head and laid flat on the ground terrified of being next.
"Young one you may open your eyes now." The wise voiced being said calmly.
The boy opened his eyes and saw he was looking at a pair of vermin feet that looked like the size of a human foot. He looked further up to see the feet belonged to an anthropomorphic gray rat with a white thin beard and wore a red robe while it carried a walking stick. Behind him were four anthropomorphic turtles with colored masks on their eyes and weapons on their shells.
The first one wore a blue mask and carried a pair of twin katana on his back, the second one wore a violet mask and carried a wooden bo-staff on his back, the third wore an orange mask and carried a pair of nunchucks, while the fourth and final one wore a red mask and carried a pair of sais which explained where the one sai came from.
The boy looked shocked and jumped back on his rear backing away a bit, "Monsters!" he cried in fright.
The orange masked turtle looked to the red masked one, "We seem to get that a lot don't we?"
"No kidding," He replied, "But it's better than being called freaks."
"Do not be alarmed young one, we are your friends," The rat spoke in a wise voice, "My name is Splinter and these are my sons, Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael. What is yours?"
"Naruto Uzumaki." The boy answered still feeling a little uneasy.
Raphael stifled a chuckle, "Named after a ramen topping."
"Raphael!" Splinter turned around fast and whacked the back of the turtles' head with his walking stick.
"Ow!" Raphael rubbed the back of his head.
"Forgive my son's rudeness." Splinter bowed his head to the boy.
"Uh, ok." Naruto replied feeling it was best to go along with it.
"Now please tell us, where might we find the Hokage?" Splinter asked.
"Jiji? He's right in there." Naruto said pointing to a big administration building up ahead.
"Good. We have matters to discuss with him," Splinter began, "And I feel it's best you come to."
"Don't worry we won't let any more harm come to you." The blue masked turtle identified as Leonardo added.
"Well all right." Naruto said as he got up and the five mutants escorted him to the Hokage tower.
In the Hokage's office an old man in white robes was sitting at his desk doing paperwork until he heard a knock at his door. "Enter."
The door opened as Splinter and the Turtles entered with Naruto. Their appearances shocked the Hokage, "What who're you?"
"Be calm Sarutobi-sama, we are allies," Splinter said, "I believe you know of Hamato Yoshi."
The Hokage looked shocked and then suspicious, "How do you know Yoshi?"
"Because I am his pet Splinter." Splinter answered.
Sarutobi looked at him remembering Yoshi once had a pet rat, "You're Splinter, but how did you?"
"All will be told Hokage-sama, but first I feel we should speak in privacy." Splinter said motioning to his sons and Naruto.
"Of course father." Leonardo replied as he and his brothers bow their heads and took Naruto outside.
"So Splinter-san, how did you get this way? And who were they and why did you have Naruto with you?" Sarutobi asked.
"Well Sarutobi-sama, I'm sure you remember of my master's death?" Splinter asked.
"Yes killed at the hands of Oroku Saki," Sarutobi responded, "But before that he and his own master the Ancient one trained here in the village of Konoha for many years. When I heard he moved away for a peaceful life I was happy for him. But when I heard of what happened to him later I mourned for his death."
Splinter nodded, "During his training I mimicked his movements from my cage and learned the secret art of the ninja. When my master was slayed I was forced to retreat into the sewers below. Until one day I came upon a shattered glass jar which contained four baby turtles. They were crawling into a strange glowing ooze substance from a broken canister nearby. So I gathered them up, but nothing could prepare me for what happened afterwards. The five of us started growing in size and intelligence. When they grew the ability to speak just as myself I began their training. Teaching them all that I had learned from my master. And I bestowed upon each of them a name. Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael."
"An amusing story Splinter-san, and now I must ask why you have come here to Konoha?" Sarutobi asked.
"After me and my sons have defeated the Shredder and had avenged my master I decided to bring them here to the village where my sensei once trained. Though I never thought I would stumble across the boy, but now that I have tell me is the one who hosts the infamous nine tailed fox?" Splinter asked.
"Unfortunately yes." Sarutobi said in guilt.
"Then the rumors are true. The boy is seen as the demon itself and not as the carrier." Splinter said in worry.
"You've heard correctly." Sarutobi confirmed.
"How do you stand ruling over such dishonorable and blind people?" Splinter asked in almost anger.
"I ask myself the same question everyday Splinter-san, but if anyone else were Hokage they'd probably have Naruto killed the first chance they'd get." Sarutobi said in shame.
"And what of the boys' family, doesn't he know?" Splinter asked.
"No. Minato told me to wait until he was ready, plus if word got out to his rivals that he had a child then the ninja of Konoha would be the least of his worries." Sarutobi explained.
"I understand," Splinter said until he thought for a bit and looked at the old man, "Sarutobi-sama, might I make a request of you?"
"A request, Splinter-san?" Sarutobi asked.
"Yes, allow me and my sons to train Naruto in the art of the ninja." Splinter offered.
Sarutobi raised a brow, "And just why would you want to do such a thing?" he asked curiously.
"The boy appears to have much potential, especially if he's able to keep one of the greatest demons at bay. His potential must be steered in the right direction by someone with experience and willing to help him as well. Only then he will make a true ninja, one just like my master and Minato as well." Splinter explained.
Sarutobi thought about it and looked back at the rat, "You bring up an interesting point Splinter-san. Very well I shall leave Naruto under your wing."
"Arigato, Hokage-sama." Splinter bowed his head to the Hokage and he does the same.
They walked outside the office to see Naruto laughing with Michelangelo while the other turtles sat with him.
"Jiji, these guys are funny and incredible." Naruto said with a chuckle.
"I'm glad to see you getting along with them so well Naruto," The Hokage smiled, "Because we have big news for you."
"What's that?" Naruto asked curiously while the turtles waited for the news as well.
"Splinter-san here has agreed to take you under his wing and train you in the ninja arts." Sarutobi explained.
Naruto was shocked while the turtles were surprised. "Sensei is this true?" Donatello asked in surprise.
"It is my son. I see much potential in this young boy. Potential that could rival your own my sons." Splinter told his sons.
"You're kidding right?" Raph asked.
"Better than us master?" Leo asked.
"Not yet of course, but come training and a number of years and he will have become your equal." Splinter explained.
"You really believe that?" Mikey asked.
"I do Michelangelo," Splinter replies, "But to train this one will take not only my guidance, but yours as well. Are you four up for the task?"
The four turtles look at each other and then at Naruto pondering the question if they're ready. Leo was the first to speak up, "Sensei, father. I'll do what I can in teaching him."
"And so will I." Donny agreed.
"Count me in." Mikey clapped in excitement.
They all looked at Raph waiting for his answer, "Ah what the shell it'll give me something to do, so yeah I'm in."
Splinter turned to Naruto and extends his hand, "Well Naruto welcome to our family."
Naruto smiled and shook Splinter's hand, "Arigato, Master Splinter." Sarutobi watched smiling seeing there may be hope for Naruto yet.
(And now this will be once again revamped like my others. Enjoy this as you did before.)
