Chapter 1- realization of a dream

2 years after night of the kyubi attack

2 year old naruto could be seen crying in his bed in the konoha orphanag thinking "why dose the mistress geralda hate me? what have i done, she is always so kind to everyone else." these thoughts induced by severe beating after asking for something more food like than the mush of leftover from plates other children in the orphanage. suddenly he could here some wheels screeching of metallic sound as a wheelchair and its eighteen month old rider approached him. she came closer and asked "why dose she do that to you ?" while showing the rice balls she was clearly hiding under her the surprised look in his eyes and putting her hand on his shoulder she continued "here take some , i brought it for you , i am miko by the way". handing him the rice balls. he looked at the rice balls and devoured all three of them in one go and met the kind eyes of one who called herself miko. after a calculating moment of thought he said " thank you, i am naruto and i don't know why she does this to me, watching her treat me like garbage other children have also started to treat me like i am below them and that i am garbage , what are you being kind to me ?"he asked in genuine disbelief. Miko gave a pout and didn't answer .

2 years later

now almost 4 year old naruto was playing with his best and only friend while she made every attempt to get back to her book, apparently his puppy dog eyes work on her way too well for her to do such. Miko sighed and said "tomorrow is your birthday shouldn't you be going to bed early , didn't hokaga-sama said that he will come meet you in the morning".naruto sighed and obliged as he went to his bed. miko did the same and booth went to sleep. Later at midnight their room door opened and a figure came into the darkness of the room. She came to naruto's bedside and woke him up whisperd while holding his mouth "happy birthday deamon you are finnaly 4 year old and a deamon like you should be able to take care of yourself ". Miko was too scared to act on it and pretended to be asleep while trying to hold of her tears while She watched mistress geralda take her friend outside and thow him out of the orphanage in midnight.

Next day when the third hokage showed up and asked for naruto geralda said he ran away in the middle of the night. The third hokage ordered his anbu guard to find naruto. As miko watched his expression change form horror to sadness while he mumbled to himself "forgive me for I have failed you boath" , she decided to approach the hokage to tell him the truth. She tugged his kimono and said "hokage-sama can I talk to you in private, its about naruto", the hokage obliged to her request as the went to the park in the orphanage to talk, she told him the truth and furious hokage immediately called for geralda to explain herself , when she coudnt find the words to deny it she immediately was sent to prison awaiting her trail. Naruto was missing for two more days up until he was found by the dog anbu (kakashi) , who was in tears behind his mask as he saw an almost corps like body of bold cover yet scar less naruto inside a garbage trunk.

2 days ago

Naruto was being chased by a bunch of people who unknown to his knowledge were told about his exile from orphanage as part of a plan by geralda . he felt kunai pierce through skin on his as he tried to run . but how fast can a 4 year old run compared to a crowd of adults apparently highly motivated to kill him. Eventually they caught up and slashed kunai and knife. When they were satisfied at their art of blood that covered every inch of the 4 year olds body , they thought that his death should be a painfull one and threw him in the dumpster expecting him to slowly and painfully die of the bold loss, naruto unable to move or even hold his consciousness any more fainted with a sudden headache.

[In naruto's mindscape]

naruto woke up inside a sewer, he couldn't feel any pain any more. he tried to think of how he ended up here and decided that villagers must have thrown him in the sewers thinking he was dead. He walked up to a cage that held a crying child no older than his age. He approached her to ask what was happening and why was she in a cage when he heard her mumbling "all because of me , those humans attack and shun him all because of me". He came closer to the cage as he saw the red haired girl rolled up in a ball. He asked " hello who are you? Were are we? And why are you crying". She found herself stupefied when she looked at him. She whipped some of her tears and turned into giant fox and started smashing the cage, yelling in a deep manlike voice "Get out of here mortal wake up and save yourself or I will kill you ", naruto looked at the fox with indifference and said " this wont work on me you know, I already saw your true form now please tell me what is up so I may be able to help you, whoever you are" ,seeing the caring and indifferent look in his eyes. kyubi still in her fox form explained him about how his mother was the previous kyubi and about the night the masked man attacked and his father, the fourth hokage sealed her in him. She continued to tell him how she was the reason he was so hated around the village and asked for forgiveness. He then recklessly approached the seal and said "it not your fault , you are misunderstood just as I am, if anything it is the fault of my father who knowingly how jinchuriki are treated shoved his son into that life and didn't even bother to think that he wouldn't even be alive, neither will my mother and yet he decided to make that public. I cannot imagine how stupid that man is. I don't even know what to think of him"

as soon as he touched the seal he felt a green glow on his hand as he saw the worst man he could see right now hold his arm . he got angry and threw a puch at hi but what could a four year old do to a hokage, he asked why is he here and he new presence said "I am here to protect you , to ensure that your seal is safe.", naruto yelled "YOU CAN'T BE HERE YOU ARE DEAD! DEAD!" , minato sighed and said " I left some of my chakra in you to activate if or when seal is weakened or you try to weaken it yourself" . naruto started crying as he willed the shadow of minato to shoot up like rope and bind him like a mummy and pull him onto the ground .

As minato lay on the ground naruto looked at kyubi and asked "are all your siblings treated as you have been?" she nodded in a yes, naruto than walked up inside the cage and willed the cage to grow in size to infinity or as far as he could imagine. Than he imagined a Forrest with trees bigger than kyubi herself. Than he asked her "is it okay if you stay here for a while and help me so we can create a place for you and you siblings to roam around freely and while I'm on it help me free the world of as much hatred as we can" the huge fox had tears in her eyes as she nodded in agreement. All the while minato was shocked at seeing this . naruto approached him and let the shadow binding minato's mouth loosen up and wrap, minato suddenly asked him "how did you do that ?". naruto answered" this is my mind and I just wanted it to happen so it happened, anyways how much chakra do you have left" naruto asked minato who was still bound form feet to neck by his own shadow. Minato replied" to last about three more minutes " naruto looked at kyubi as he asked her "can you slowly lend him you chakra to keep his consciousness for longer"

Kyubi still shocked at his original request of helping her liberate her siblings nodded in a yes. Than he looked at minato and willed his bound body to hang in the air giving him a view of how good kyubi has it with her forest and all compared to his bound self. Naruto than yelled at minato "SUFFER! SUFFER FOR ALL THE HATE YOU FORCED UPON ME AND SUFFER AS YOU LOOK AT THE CREAUTURE YOU WANTED TO BOUND IN NOW SO FREE IN HER FORREST WHILE YOU ARE BOUND "

Minato looked at his child in horror regretting everything he put his child through and said "I'm sorry , I know it doesn't mean anything to you now but I really am sorry and I will accept any punishment you give me for my stupidity, I will do anything I can to make up for what I put you through if I get a chance" .before naruto could yell at him again he suddenly disappeared from his mindscape

[ konoha hospital ]

naruto woke up with the smell of antibiotics tingling his nose. He opened his eyes to look up at plain white ceiling . as soon as he tried to sit up he started to feel the pain he thought he was past through .The third hokage shushined into the room as he finally found the strength to sit up. The hokage had a depressed look in his eyes as he approached naruto. Naruto flinched as his 'jiji' had been hiding so much from him he felt like he couldn't trust him anymore. Though naruto thought who on this planet could he not trust if not his jiji and decided to confide in him as he asked "jiji I don't know what I am doing wrong, I try to smile like you said I should, but it is becoming harder to do so as every day passes. I don't know how to make them stop, I tried to hate them to return their hatred but for some reason I cant , I don't understand what to do jiji" .

sarutobi hiruzen had been through three wars and had won and lost many battles but never has he felt so defeated. He couldn't help but feel that he has lost, he has failed. He tried to collect himself and said "naruto my child I can not comprehend for you to go through such trauma and still think what you said, you my child have wisdom beyond even my year's as you have correctly understood that hatred canto be countered by hatred , it can only be fuled by it , doesn't matter what other clans have be it their dojutsu, or their sub-element or their unique technique , you my child will surpass all there are and all there were because you have the brightest will of fire of all. I didn't want to tell you what I am about to until you made chunin but I now feel like you deserve to know why you are hated and about your heritage" naruto shocked at his jiji's words nodded and said that he already knew , he told him about his encounter with kyubi and about the masked man ,leaving the minato part and the part here kyubi is a 4 year old girl . everything naruto told him gave him a lot to think over as he took naruto to stay in sarutobi estate to stay atleast until he is in better physical shape, "oh if only i could adopt him "he thaught while cursing the civilian council .

As naruto was sleeping in the hokage's house he enterd his mindscape again

[ mindscape ]

naruto walked over to minato whose eyes were dry as sand ad had tears running down his eyes . naruto approached him unwrapped him from his shadows and asked "what happed to you", minato could was still in too much of a shock to answer so kyubi did it for him saying " I showed him your memories from you orphanage and of mobs chasing , people glaring and muttering ." minato found himself and asked "naruto why did you released me I should suffer, I should be in pain, I should know hell for what I put you through" naruto sighed and said "it's not your fault, well at least anything apart from having jiji announce me as the jinchuriki, I don't know what I could have done differently if I were you, sorry about how I behaved earlier, I was a little overwhelmed with all the information , all this time I have been wanting and praying for a family and when I finnaly get one I wont throw it away," he said as he started crying and hugged his father. He was 4 afterall how much hate could a child really bear before it crumbles upon him. Minato still crying from his dry eyes wowed to naruto as he said "I will kill every single villager that put you through hell when I get out of this ", naruto said "did you not here what jiji said about 'hate fules hate" , minato looked at his child as his chest threatened to burst with pride as he hugged his son.
