Author's Notes: This is the rewrite of Naruto: Madara Uchiha's Grandson. I don't own any of the characters used in the story. Ch 1 is mostly about the Uchiha massacre from Naruto's perspective. The introductions are going to come along as the chapters go along. Please review.
A young boy woke up after a long time. Said boy didn't remember anything that had happened the previous night or it was the previous night for him. His name was Naruto Uchiha. Naruto was tall for his age, 4 feet, 6 inches, and he was just seven years old. He was wearing a black shirt with a fan on the back. The fan's top was red in colour and it white in the bottom. This was the symbol of his clan, the Uchiha clan. He was wearing white shorts. He had many burns on his skin which looked as though he had received them in a fierce battle. His eyes were red with three tomoe in them. That was his Sharingan. He had been born with a fully mature Sharingan. He got up on his bed and tried to remember what had happened.
His clan had been one of the founding clans of his village, Konohagakure, the village hidden in the leaves. Until a few days ago, it was the most prestigious clan and the strongest clan in the village. There were few clans in the world which could compare to his own. But all that had changed. He now remembered. His father and his pseudo elder brother had killed his entire clan, even his mother. He couldn't even start to understand how his father had been able to kill his mother. He knew that his mother was no pushover. That was for sure. The amount of chakra she had and her visual prowess was on par with that of his father, or so he was told.
50 days ago,
Naruto had been excited about his seventh birthday. He was training with his father when he got the news that one of his pseudo elder brothers, Shisui had been killed and was found near the final valley. He had been very upset by this fact. He saw some tension in his father's eyes. That NEVER happened. Naruto's father, Izuna was the fifth Hokage and he never got tensed. He was always self confident and knew that whatever happened, he would come out at the top. His power was undeniable. He was almost invincible. He remembered his father telling him the story of how he destroyed Kumo in the Third Great Shinobi War. He had destroyed thousands of Kumo shinobi in just one blow. He was known to be the fastest shinobi in the world excepting Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash of Konoha. Izuna was known as the Black Lord of Destruction. He deserved that name. He was said to be able to level an entire nation in a matter of seconds. Years of war had gained him a lot of experience. This experience was what made him the calm man he was today. Something that tensed him was most likely something that could lead to another war. Naruto knew enough about his father to know that much. Izuna told him, "Naruto, continue training. I might be away for a while."
Though this was not unusual given his position, Izuna rarely went himself. Most of the times, he would send a shadow clone to take of whatever it was. He went himself only if it was of utmost importance. This was not good.
Naruto did not mind it because he knew his father. He went back to his home. His shadow clone at the academy would disperse at any moment now and he would know everything done in the academy. He couldn't believe what they were teaching in the academy. He had learnt all of that when he was four years old. He was at least as strong as a normal genin but he figured that he would be a high class genin if all genin had learnt was he was being taught in the Academy. Despite the fact that he had been born with a fully mature Sharingan, he knew little about it. All he knew was that he gained kinetic vision and temporary boost to his chakra and strength when he used it. He was also able to cast mild genjutsu with it but even his friend, Mito could figure it out and she didn't even have her Sharingan. He knew it was years before being able to get a genin or a chunin.
Naruto pulled pranks on everyone and was one of the funniest people if not the funniest. He was always cheerful and liked to help others as much as he could. He waved to a few people as he returned home. Unfortunately, they were met with angry glares.
A few minutes after he reached home, Menma, Mito and Sasuke returned from Academy. He used to make fun of them for going to the Academy. None of them liked to go but Naruto was the only one with enough chakra and enough control over it to create a shadow clone and send it while he stayed at home. He was envied by his friends for this. He told them, "Hya, shall we all go to train, i.e. train for real and not the kid's play that they make us do in the academy."
Mito said, "I am always ready to kick your ass Sharingan idiot." Naruto frowned at that. He didn't like that name at all. Though Mito didn't mean anything wrong, it was also the name the villagers called him. They accused him and his father of causing the Kyubi attack seven years ago. He didn't even know anything about that time and was sure his eyes were capable of close to nothing with the extremely small amount of chakra he had as a baby. Yes, he could walk on walls when he was three years old but when was not even one month old, he had negligible amounts of chakra compared to jonin and even jonin didn't have the necessary chakra to control the Kyubi. He could never believe that baseless accusation the villagers made. He said, "You want to see Mito-sama?" in a teasing fashion. He was going to make her feel bad for calling him that. Sasuke said, "Oi, don't you lay a finger on Mito!" Naruto almost laughed. Sasuke was kind of cut when he said that. Sasuke might have been the most famous in the Academy but he was not even close to the strongest. His fame was only beacause Naruto let him have it. Naruto didn't want the fame. He had been happy with himself and his close friends and family. Menma unlike Naruto was laughing his ass off. Sasuke grunted and said, "What's so funny loser?"
Menma continued laughing and said, "You think you can beat Naruto is what is funny." Sasuke wasn't pleased. He said, "Shall we see that?"
Naruto said, "We shall not spar. I have the Sharingan, you don't and that gives me an unfair advantage don't you think. I don't want you to feel depressed after losing to me."
Sasuke just grunted. Mito said, "You can leave Sasuke out of this. Your fight is with me." Naruto nodded in agreement and said, "Well, shall we begin?"
He took a battle stance. Though this was inside the home, it was a large enough room that nothing would be broken with their fight. Mito also took a battle stance. Then all of a sudden Naruto rushed towards Mito in what would be a blur to a seven year-old's eye. Mito didn't see him come. He was using the Sharingan to gain a boost to his abilities. Mito might not have had Naruto's speed but she clearly had high genin strength or even low Chunin strength. What she lacked in speed, she made up for in strength. She tried to slam Naruto down as he reached her but he was just too fast for her. He swung around her arm and made an upper cut and hit her jaw hard just when he realized, she had used genjutsu on him. Unlike him, she was much better in genjutsu and could easily put any Chunin genjutsu caster to shame. He turned around as quickly as he could to see an arm coming down on him. It was just an inch above his eyes. Though it was slow, he was not fast enough to dodge it, yet. He instead did the second best thing he could. Replace himself with a shadow clone. He could do that in the few tenths of a second he had remaining. He instantly did a cross seal and then a shadow clone appeared next to him and he replaced himself with it. By the time the replacement was complete, Mito's arm was just two millimeters above the shadow clone's eye. Mito brought down her hand and the clone received the full brunt of her palm coming down in full speed. Naruto felt the pain his clone had felt but he had no time to writhe in pain as he laced his arm with chakra, pure and raw chakra. This would not only enhance his attack but also make it much sharper. Mito descended into the smoke and e used this moment and slammed his fist into her stomach. Granted that it was not as strong as Mito's punch but it was still painful. Mito didn't mind the pain and gripped Naruto's arm. Now he had no way by which he could beat her. She smiled as the dust cleared and Naruto had waltzed into her trap. It was now the time for the real Naruto to feel the full brunt of her punch. She raised her palm and got ready to punch Naruto. Just as she was about to hit him, he grinned and made a seal in his left arm which was normally used to gain chakra. All of a sudden Naruto was behind her and she hit nothing but thin air as she felt a strong fist hit her and she was not able to do anything as she was unable to bear the pain anymore. Unlike Naruto who only felt the pain for a short time after she hit his clone, she had been hit twice for real and she was done now. She was sure about that. She fell face down on the floor and groaned that she should have been able to beat him through that last move.
Naruto grinned as he waved to Menma. He turned Mito around and made her get up. He said, "That last move was very cheeky. If not for my Sharingan, I would be as good as dead. He he. Let's all go get some ramen."
Everyone instantly agreed to it. They went to Ichiraku ramen. That was the only place in the village other than the Academy that he was not hated. He was kind of loved in the Academy as a prodigy.
He went into Ichiraku's and ordered a Ramen bowl for each of them. He was greeted with a smile as usual by Teuchi Ichiraku, the owner of Ichiraku ramen. They all had two to three bowls of ramen before leaving. By the time they returned home, it was already dark.
Naruto felt a certain uneasiness as he went to his home. His eyes allowed him to sense chakra but he didn't find half as many chakra signatures as he should have. Then he entered his home. He then saw that his mother's body was lying on the ground and all of a sudden, it burnt away in a black flame. He recognized this as Amaterasu, the all devouring flame. His father came out from a dark corner of the hall. His Sharingan swept into action. His eyes were bright red and had three tomoe spinning in each of them. Izuna said, "Naruto you have arrived."
Naruto didn't know what to do. He asked Izuna, "Tou-san, what is wrong here. Who killed Kha-san?"
Izuna just smiled an evil smile. He said, "Oh, you noticed that," then he laughed slightly, "Then I'll have to tell you, it was me. I killed your mother. I also killed Shisui; I also killed the rest of the clan. Now, I cannot have any witnesses running around, can I? That just means I shall have to kill you as well now." Then Izuna laughed the most evil laugh he could sire up. Naruto was shocked to the core. He did not know what to make of anything. His father had just claimed to kill not only his mother and Shisui but also the entire clan. His eyes had changed. They were not just the normal fully matured Sharingan but they were now the mangekyou Sharingan. They were a bright red with 5 lines spiraling inwards with a thick circle joining them all in the centre and a thinner one passing though all of them nearer to the circumference of the circle. Izuna laughed and said, "Oh, Mangekyou Sharingan. You achieved it, then I suppose you shall be of some use to me."
Naruto screamed out in pure rage, "I shall never help you, you murderer. I shall kill you right now." Saying so, he laced his hand in chakra and formed a chakra blade. All of a sudden the chakra blade gained a black flame. The flame of Amaterasu. His eyes started bleeding. He didn't care. He was going to avenge his mother. He ran towards Izuna and tried to stab him but his chakra blade vanished upon touching him. Izuna frowned and said, "You have a long way to go, Naruto. If you want to kill me then I welcome you to try. Kill me when you have my eyes. Kill me when your visual prowess is far greater than my own." Naruto had noticed how his father always put a genjutsu over his eyes. Now he removed it. Naruto couldn't even start to fathom what those eyes were but they seemed to be in action. They gave off a killing intent like nothing else. They were white in colour and they had five concentric circles. In the second and fourth circles there were three tomoe each and they were spinning. They gave an aura of death. His father said, "I shall be waiting boy," Then vanished instantly. He appeared right behind Naruto and smacked him on his head so hard, Naruto fell down instantly. He was unconscious.
Naruto chuckled to himself. The one man whom he had trusted the most, the man he had always looked up to, he had betrayed him, his family, and his clan. He remembered that laughter of his father. He remembered his father's words, "If you want to kill me then I welcome you to try. Kill me when you have my eyes. Kill me when your visual prowess is far greater than my own." He remembered those eyes. Those white eyes of death. That was all he remembered. He wanted to kill his father so badly. He would never trust anyone now. Life was never fair. He understood that now. Thanks to his father, he was probably the only Uchiha left alive. Menma and the others might have been spared. They weren't even near the compound when his father left.
He would make sure to get revenge. Then an orange paint bomb hit his face. He knew that this could be no one other than Menma. He couldn't believe that Menma was pranking him even at this time. He got off his bed to see Menma, Mito, and Sasuke waiting for him. Mito just ran to him and hugged him. Naruto was shocked. He then saw Mito's face. Her hair was not done. She hadn't slept for a while now. Her eyes had dark lines below them. He saw tears run down her face. She was crying. Naruto didn't know if they were tears of joy or sadness. Though he figured that it was probably both. She didn't stop crying and said, "Naruto, I thought you would never wake up again. The Doctor's said that you suffered a major injury to the head. I am so happy to see you awake. You know how worried I was? I heard you were beaten up by your father. Your father was dragging you down the road along with Itachi. He then dropped you down and said, 'He shouldn't die. He shouldn't die even if all his organs stop. He shouldn't die even if all his limbs are torn apart. He shouldn't die even if his eyes are ripped from him. He shouldn't die even if he is cut into half. He shouldn't die until he has my eyes, then I shall kill him myself. Make sure he doesn't die until he has my eyes so that I can come and reap them for myself. Else, it shall be you who'll die in his stead. This is not a threat; it is a fact, live with it. He is just for the sake of me gaining eternal eyesight and nothing else. All of you are alive just for that sake. Live with it.' Then both of them disappeared. We then saw your head. It was bleeding like hell. We brought you to a hospital. They had to stitch your head back together. You'll probably notice a few still remaining and your eyes, they bleeding just as much as if not more than the back of your head. All they could do was put bandages around it. We were worried that you might go blind.
Naruto was angry. To say that he was angry was an father had not only killed the clan but also threatened to do the same to him. He would avenge everyone. He would not spare his father. He said, "How long have I been out, and what was that talk about Itachi?"
Mito looked sadder when she heard Itachi. She said, "You have been out for a month and a half. Almost fifty days. And about Itachi, he also helped murder the clan."
Naruto was honestly not surprised by this.
He was going to avenge his clan by killing both of them. He was Naruto Uchiha, the avenger of the Uchiha clan!
