Prologue

A four-year-old boy with golden blond hair was hiding from the villagers of Konoha in the forest. The villagers of Konoha always came to his run-down apartment to attack him at this time of night. To avoid the injuries, he hid himself. The beatings only started last week. The little boy was kicked out of the orphanage last week. When the Third Hokage found out, he got Naruto that run-down apartment to live in. As soon as the villagers found out he was living alone, it was like open season on the little boy. The little boy knew that even if he avoided this beating, the villagers would still attack him tomorrow when he went outside to get some fresh air.

This little boy didn't go outside to play like a normal kid his age would. All of the kids his age were told to stay away from him because he was a 'bad boy'. No one would play with him and when he tried to play by himself in the park, he would be thrown out by the parents. So, instead of playing, this little boy went on walks through the forest. He found the clearing he was hiding in now on one of his walks. The little boy thought it would be the perfect hiding place. He just never thought he would be hiding there to escape a beating.

The golden blond haired boy heard a rustle in a bush a couple feet from him. He looked at it with worried blue eyes. He began to wonder if a villager already found him. If a villager did find him, he would be attacked. "Who is it?" the little boy asked cautiously. "It is just me, kid. No need to worry." a small gray dog with blue eyes said. "How can a dog talk?" the little boy asked. "I am a summon. Summons are given the ability to talk, so the humans that summoned them can understand them." The small gray dog said. "Oh. Who summoned you? Why are you here?" the little boy asked. "I was summoned by one of the ninja in Konoha. I am here because I was told to look around the village for threats. You don't seem like a threat to me, so I think I should probably keep going." the small gray dog said. "Okay. It was nice meeting you, Ari. Hopefully I will get to see you again." The little boy said. "Yeah. Same here, kid." Ari said. Ari was about to walk out of the clearing when he froze. "Kid, how did you know my name?" Ari asked. "I don't know. It just popped into my head when I was wondering what your name was." the little boy said. "What's your name, kid?" Ari asked. "Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said. "Naruto, come into the moonlight. I want to see your face." Ari said. "Why?" Naruto asked. "Just come into the moonlight and I will tell you." Ari said. "Fine." Naruto said as he walked out of the shadow he was in. The moonlight made his golden blond hair and blue eyes shine. The moonlight also showed the three whisker birth marks on each cheek. "You really have them." Ari said. "Have what?" Naruto asked. "The whisker birth marks." Ari said. "Kid, I want you to follow me to another clearing. You need to meet the summons of the Trinity Council." Ari said as he began to walk out of the forest clearing.

"The Trinity Council?" Naruto asked. "It is made up of the three strongest head summons. You need to meet them. It is very important. They will explain everything when you get there, so for now, just follow me and don't ask questions." Ari said. Naruto followed Ari down winding paths and up a steep hill. They finally reached a large clearing. "Ari, where are we?" Naruto asked. "We are where the Trinity Council meets. They should be here soon. I need to continue doing what my summoner told me to now. You just stay here and wait for the Trinity Council to appear. I am sure I will see you again, Naruto. Bye." Ari said as he left the large clearing.

Naruto sat down under a tree in the clearing and waited like he was told to. A few minutes later, three large poofs of smoke appeared. When the smoke cleared, Naruto saw three huge summons. There was a black wolf with blood-red eyes. The wolf was in the middle of the clearing. There was a tiger that had white fur with black stripes and blue eyes. The tiger stood to the left of the wolf. The last summon there was a white bear with emerald green eyes. The bear stood to the right of the wolf. All of the summons looked down at Naruto.

"What are you doing here, boy?" the wolf asked. "I was brought here by Ari. He told me I needed to meet you and that you would explain everything once I got here" Naruto said. "Who is Ari and why did he think we needed to meet you?" the wolf asked. "Ari is a small gray dog summon. He didn't really tell me why I had to come here. He just saw my whisker marks and after that, he insisted I follow him here." Naruto said. "Whisker marks?" the wolf asked. "Yeah." Naruto said. "Come closer. Let me see them." the wolf said. "What is it with summons and my whisker marks? It makes them act weird." Naruto said as he stood up and walked towards the wolf. "See. They are there on my cheeks. They have been for as long as I can remember. What is the big deal?" Naruto asked. "It means you are The Summoner of the legend." the wolf said. "What?! I can't be anything that special. I am just the kid that everyone in Konoha hates." Naruto said.

The wolf frowned. "Everyone in Konoha hates you?" the wolf asked. "Yeah. I just got kicked out of the orphanage I lived in. I was given a run-down apartment to live in by the Third Hokage after he heard I was kicked out. As soon as the villagers heard I was living alone, they started beating me every chance they got. There was now no one to see the bruises. Not that the people in the orphanage would've care, but they would still have to report it." Naruto said, "You don't think a kid would be out this late for no reason, do you? I am hiding from the villagers. Sure, I will get attacked tomorrow, but for now, I am safe. The villagers also told all the kids my age that I was a 'bad boy' and to stay away from me, so I have no friends. I tried to play by myself in the park a few times. I was thrown out of the park as soon as someone saw me. I started to walk around the forest when I realized I couldn't play at the park. I have found some good hiding spots. I never thought I would need them, but now that I am getting beaten every chance the villagers get, the hiding places I found come in handy." Naruto told the wolf. "They treat you that badly? Why?" the wolf asked. "My theory is the whisker marks and Kyuubi. The day after Kyuubi attacked Konoha and was killed, I was born. My whisker marks made everyone think I am a demon, pretending to be human, just waiting for the right time to attack. I believe my theory is correct because lately, the villagers have been calling me a demon to my face and I have seen them pointing to my whisker marks with disgust on their faces." Naruto said. "So, you see. Someone that is as hated as me can't be something as special as The Summoner of the legend." Naruto told the wolf. "What is my name? What is the name of the bear and the tiger?" the wolf asked. "That's easy. Your name is Constantine. The bear is Mena and the tiger is Anita. Why are you asking this? I am trying to tell you that it is impossible for me to be The Summoner of the legend." Naruto said. "You just proved that you are, without a doubt, The Summoner of the legend. Only The Summoner could know our names without us telling you first. The Summoner knows the name of every summon instinctively. No one other than The Summoner can do that." Constantine said. "So, what is your name? I don't want to call you The Summoner all the time." Constantine said. "My name is Naruto Uzumaki. So, are you sure I am The Summoner of the legend?" Naruto said. "Yes. You are definitely The Summoner. I suggest you except it." Constantine said. "What does being The Summoner mean?" Naruto asked.

"I will tell you what the Legend of the Summoner says." Constantine said. "A child with whisker birth marks will be born the day after the attack of a powerful demon. The child will become The Summoner, a force of good and evil. The child will be born with the ability to summon all the summons. The child will be the head summoner, meaning he can overrule another summoner. The child will also have the ability to take a summoning contract away from any summoner, meaning he/she can forbid someone from summoning the contracted animal if he/she chooses to. The child will be born with the ability to sense evil and ill intent. The child will also be born with the ability to sense good and good intent. The child will use these abilities as he/she sees fit. This means the child can use his/her power for good or evil. The child also has the option of becoming neutral, meaning he/she would use his/her power to keep the good and evil in the world balanced. If the child chooses to become neutral, he/she will still have the option to become good or evil at anytime. The child could be good one minute, evil the next minute, and neutral another minute. The child can basically go back and forth between good, evil, and neutral as many times as he/she wants. The child will get streaks in their hair when they turn six. The streaks allow you to know if he/she is good, evil, or neutral. The streaks will be royal blue when he/she is good. The streaks will be blood-red when he/she is evil. The streaks will be a deep purple when he/she is neutral. The child will be able to summon without blood and hand seals. All he/she has to do is think about who he/she wants to summon and say their name. The child will instinctively know the name of every summon. The child can talk to people and summons telepathically. The summons may not disobey what the child says. The summons will meet with a punishment of the child's choice if they do disobey the child. The severity of the punishment will depend on what the summon did or didn't do. The child will become the strongest person in the world. My hope is that he/she is treated well. If not, those who harmed him/her could come to an untimely end." Constantine said. "The last two sentences were added by a human one hundred years ago. We left it in because technically, if you wanted to, you could go evil and kill everyone who ever wronged you. That is your choice though. You could easily go evil and leave the people who wronged you alive." Constantine said. "I am surprised that Konoha treats you as badly as they do. They must've lost the copy of the Legend of the Summoner they were sent. A hundred years ago, after the human added that last part, he sent a copy to every shinobi village." Constantine said.

"So, as The Summoner, what do I do?" Naruto asked. "You get stronger." Constantine said. "As the Trinity Council, we are the strongest head summons. No one has been able to summon any of us on the council, meaning that you will be the only one able to summon wolves, bears, and tigers. We are going to give you training scrolls because we want you to become the strongest person in the world as fast as possible. We don't want a weak summoner. Instead of walking around in the forest all day, I recommend you go to a quiet and hidden place to train using these scrolls." Constantine said as he pushed a huge scroll and a small scroll to Naruto after they appeared in a poof of smoke. "Why is one scroll so much bigger than the other?" Naruto asked. "That is simple. The small one is a scroll on how to use chakra, while the bigger scroll is a storage scroll that contains the scrolls I want you to study over the years. I left the one about using chakra out because you need to have the ability to use chakra to use the storage scroll. When you are done with the scroll on using chakra, seal it in the storage scroll. All you need to do is place the small scroll on a blank spot in the storage scroll and add chakra. It will seal automatically. Then, go to the beginning of the storage scroll, add chakra to the first spot, and a scroll for you to study will appear in a poof of smoke." Constantine said. "Okay. When will I see you and the rest of the Trinity Council again?" Naruto said.

"The only reason we appeared in the real world tonight was to try and find The Summoner. Now that we found you, we won't be able to summon ourselves here anymore. You will see us again when you get strong enough to summon us. Don't worry about that though. I gave you plenty of scrolls to study. I doubt you will run out before you get strong enough to summon one of us. There are even some scrolls later on to teach you how to create your own jutsus. Don't skip ahead to those though. You need to work your way up to something as difficult as creating your own jutsus. I wish I could protect you from those villagers, but that would just draw more attention to you and do more harm than good." Constantine said. "You are probably right. The villagers would think I brainwashed you with demonic powers to do my bidding." Naruto said. "You are right about that. I am surprised someone as young as you understands that. You are very intelligent, Naruto. You could even be a genius. That will help you in your training." Constantine said. "To protect yourself, I would hide the fact that you are The Summoner. I doubt anyone would recognize your whisker marks as the mark of The Summoner. If Konoha lost the Legend of The Summoner, the other shinobi villages probably did too. A hundred years can make people forget some important things. Also, along with hiding your identity as The Summoner, hide your strength and intelligence. We don't want them knowing you are training with an outside source. You will pretend to gain the exact amount of strength you need to gain a higher rank. Eventually, when you get the streaks in your hair, put on a genjutsu and wear it 24-7. You can even make yourself look shorter and pudgy so the villagers think of you as less of a threat. They will most likely still attack you, but they won't try to kill you if they don't view you as a threat. Stay safe until we see you again. Bye Naruto." Constantine said as the Trinity Council disappeared in three poofs of smoke.

"I guess I should get home while it is dark so no one sees these scrolls." Naruto said to himself as he began to walk home.

Two years later…

Naruto woke up in his run-down apartment. He was going to start the academy today along with a lot of other kids in Konoha. They were all six-years-old like him, but Naruto knew none of them would become his friends. They would all do what their parents said and stay away from him. Naruto got out of bed and took a shower. The freezing cold water poured over him. He told the landlord the water heater was broken two years ago, as soon as he got the apartment, but the landlord just called him a demon and refused to fix it. Naruto got out and dressed in an obnoxiously orange jumpsuit. He didn't like orange, but it was the only thing the shop owners would sell him. He left his apartment and started to walk to the academy.

As Naruto walked, he thought about all that had happened in the past two years. His hair had gotten streaks in it on his sixth birthday. He put his genjutsu up the same day. It only hid the streaks in his hair for the moment, but he knew as he got older, he would make himself shorter and pudgy to seem like less of a threat. The reason he wanted to seem like less of a threat was the villagers. For the past two years, the villagers beat him every chance they got. They beat him at least twice a day. He kept count. He also imagined what would happen if they saw him as a threat. It would be twice as bad as what happened to him now. He had Low Chuunin level chakra reserves. He suppressed his chakra so no one would become aware of his true strength. He was High Genin level in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, and Healing jutsu. For kenjutsu, he had to practice with two wooden swords he found in an alley. They were in bad shape, but functional. He had to put up with it until he saved enough money from the allowance the Hokage gave him to buy himself some training katanas. He can summon lower-level summons. He summoned Ari on a regular basis because he was good company and interrupted his usually solitary life. He had created a mask to fool the villagers into thinking he was a stupid kid who was always happy. He knew that his stupidity mask would go perfectly with the orange jumpsuit he was forced to wear. Naruto looked up and realized he was at the academy where they would train him to be a genin.

'Great. Time to listen to lectures on things I already know and act like an idiot who doesn't even know what chakra is. This is such a waste of time. I could be training in the forest instead of sitting here and learning nothing new. I wish I didn't have to pretend to be an idiot and weak, but it is the only way to guarantee the villagers won't try to kill me.' Naruto thought to himself as he walked into the academy. He walked to his classroom and sat down with a big grin on his face. 'Welcome to a new level of my own personal Hell.' Naruto thought as a teacher came in and started to talk about chakra and what it's uses were.

Six years later…

A twelve-year-old Naruto had just passed the test his sensei, Kakashi Hatake, gave him. On the outside, he was thrilled to officially be a genin. His sensei and teammates looked at him like he was crazy for all the noise he was making. Naruto's teammates were Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno. They both thought of him as the Dead-Last of the academy and hated him. Naruto wouldn't have it any other way. He didn't want anyone to know his true strength until it was necessary. Sure, he doesn't like the fact that he is hated, but he has come to except it. When Naruto stopped faking his joy at passing, Kakashi told them to meet at the bridge at nine tomorrow morning for their first mission as genin. They all left their separate ways after Sakura turned Naruto down for a date. The only reason Naruto asked her out was because it was a part of his stupidity mask. It would be weird if a boy his age didn't have a crush on a girl. Naruto had no crush on a girl for a very good reason. He was gay. He knew that boys were supposed to like girls, so he made his crush on Sakura a part of his stupidity mask. He had no problem with being gay, but he knew the villagers would have a problem with it. He needed to keep his stupidity mask and genjutsu on at all times or the villagers would kill him for being a threat and different.

Naruto began to think back over what happened the past few years. He was still beaten at least twice a day, but the villagers did change it up a bit. They started using weapons like kunai, shuriken, and anything else they could get their hands on to attack him with. He now had scars all over his body. He just added a feature to his genjutsu to hide the scars along with the streaks in his hair. He also made the genjutsu make him look shorter and pudgy. His apartment was still the same run-down place it was when he first moved in years ago. He began to henge into an average looking person when he shopped because if he went into the stores as himself, he would be sold the worst merchandise or kicked out. He bought himself some nice clothes (not orange) and two training katanas while under a henge. He added another feature to his genjutsu to make it look like he still wore the orange jumpsuit, but in reality, he was wearing the nice clothes he bought. He had Low Sannin level chakra reserves. He was High Jounin level in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Healing jutsu, and Forbidden jutsu. He can summon lower-level, mid-level, and higher-level summons. He still couldn't summon a head summon though. He realized he was at his run-down apartment. He walked in and went to bed without changing.

Two years later…

A fourteen-year-old Naruto sat alone in a clearing in the woods. He was thinking about the day when he would be strong enough to reveal his true strength. At the moment, Naruto had Kage level chakra reserves. He was Mid-Sannin level in Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Healing jutsu, and Forbidden jutsu. He can summon all the summons, even the head summons. He summoned Constantine as soon as he was able to. Constantine was impressed with his genjutsu and the stupidity mask. He told Naruto it was a very affective method to hide his true strength and seem like less of a threat. Naruto was wondering when the day would come when he could take off the genjutsu and the stupidity mask. He figured when he turned twenty-two, he would be strong enough to show his true self. He wanted to get strong enough to fight off the whole village of Konoha before he revealed himself. The last thing Naruto wanted was to reveal himself and then be killed by the villagers and ninjas of Konoha because they viewed him as a threat. Naruto let out a long sigh as he stood up. He than began to walk towards his run-down apartment. Until he turned twenty-two, he would just have to continue with his act.
