Prologue

Black Zetsu frowned at the baby in front of him. Uzumaki Naruto the new Kyuubi Jinchuriki quietly lay in his crib at the hospital, he didn't cry nor did he move. Obito had decided to have a little fun; he released the Kyuubi and used it to attack Konohagakure. Minato Namikaze in turn sacrificed himself and sealed the Kyuubi into his son, Uzumaki Naruto.

What's more was that the boy in front of him possessed Ashura's chakra within him. His counterpart White Zetsu spoke, "What are we even doing here."

Black Zetsu thought, 'Should I kill him?' A devious thought entered his mind that very second, 'This boy will be hated by village that much is certain. The time for Mother's resurrection is soon but perhaps I can play a little game before then.'

White Zetsu watched as Black Zetsu touched the baby; a black tendril entered the boy causing Naruto to convulse. White Zetsu asked, "What did you do?"

Black Zetsu thought 'Now young Uzumaki, let's see whether you activate It shall we.' Black Zetsu spoke roughly. "Merely a way to make sure the Kyuubi can be apprehended faster."

White Zetsu was satisfied with the answer but Black Zetsu was busy planning. If the boy did activate the Rinnegan from this little experiment he would be very useful but the eons old entity knew that activating the Dojutsu was no easy task. Perhaps the hatred that would be deflected on to this boy would be the catalyst to awaken the legendary dojutsu. Only time would tell.

Black Zetsu spoke, "Let's report to Obito." A Venus flytrap closed around white and black Zetsu before it melded into the ground. A few minutes later, the Hokage would enter and Naruto would be taken to the Orphanage.

6 years later

A tired Uzumaki Naruto emerged from an alleyway; the matrons had once again kicked him out for the day. He hadn't eaten or drank anything the whole day and he was beginning to tire. Once in a while the matrons would kick him out and he would be forced to live on the streets for a period of a one day to a week. It just depended on how quick the ANBU would escort him to the orphanage. He had already learnt that everyone seemed to hate him in this village with the exception of the Hokage and his ANBU.

The civilians never attacked him but they did make sure to keep their distance, they called him names like 'Demon', 'Monster' and a bunch of other names. He couldn't buy anything without getting overcharged or being kicked out of the ship. He had asked the Hokage about it but the old man had said that they would change. That was a year ago and he saw no change whatsoever. So he accepted this.

A shadow landed near him and Naruto knew it was an ANBU, he had gotten used to their presence. He turned and saw that it was a dog masked ANBU. The silver haired ANBU said in a warm tone, "Naruto, let's get you back home."

A bitter thought entered the boy's mind, 'What home do I have in this village.'

In the shadow Black Zetsu watched, a malicious smile forming in his mouth. 'And with the seeds of doubt sowed into the boy, he will begin to see the village in a new light. Ah I love it when a plan comes together. Now where can I go to kill some time?'

5 years later

"You fail, Naruto!" Those words continued to echo in his mind as a saddened Naruto left the academy. He had tried to so hard this year but it was all for naught. They were sabotaging him! They were making sure that he failed, he knew it. The laughter of his classmates and that cruel smirk on the teacher made him want to cry out in a fit of rage but Naruto knew that it wouldn't accomplish anything.

He trudged off to the training area that he always went to. The training area was always empty and was surrounded by trees which made it a good source of shade when summer came around. He knew the Hokage would allow him to redo the year after all many did graduate at the age of 12 and he was only 11 years old.

Meanwhile Black Zetsu waited patiently at the training ground that Naruto loved to spend most of his time in. He would greet the boy today, his grief and misery of failing the exam again would allow him to worm his way into the boy's mind.

Ah the boy was already here it seemed, he could feel the boy's massive chakra's reserves from miles away. White Zetsu looked at the boy that Black Zetsu was obsessed with; Black Zetsu had just told him that he planned to use Naruto to further his plans. White Zetsu knew not to question Black Zetsu in matters such as these but his curiously rose as Black Zetsu explained that he had injected the boy with a portion of Indra's chakra. That explained why Black Zetsu was so interested in this boy after all the eons old entity hadn't succeeded once in bestowing a transmigrate with the Rinnegan.

The two watched as Naruto walked in the forest and sat down at the bark of a tree. Zetsu melded into the ground and reappeared near Naruto.

Naruto who had taken his seat at the bark of a tree decided to let it all out. As he was about to cry a rough voice startled him, "Are you going to cry?"

Naruto jumped up and took out a kunai, "Who are you?" He looked at the hideous creature in front of him. The creature's face was split into vertically into a black half and a white half. White Zetsu spoke in a childish tone, "We are Zetsu."

Black Zetsu asked again, "Were you going to cry?"

Naruto nodded slowly. "Why?"

Naruto spoke slowly, "I failed the genin exams again."

Black Zetsu was amused by the boy's response, "Is that all? There must be another reason as to why you are here."

Naruto looked at the creature in front of him, it was the first time anyone apart from the Hokage had asked whether he was ok. "Everyone hates me. They all try and make sure at everything I try."

Black Zetsu spoke coldly, "So?"

Naruto's only reply was, "Huh?"

"From what I can tell everyone in this village apparently hates you for a reason that you are unaware of. You have been alone for how long now, I assume it would be the majority of your life. "Naruto gave a slight nod, "So you should know that only you matter. In this world everyone only looks after themselves. Many in this village don't hate you but rather are just following everyone else. They conform to the majority opinion so that they don't stand out."

Naruto asked, "What are you saying."

White Zetsu said, "The sooner you accept the fact that no one cares enough to help the sooner you can begin to focus on your shinobi career. If they decided to treat you like trash, treat them like trash. Once you accept that you are alone in this world the sooner you can focus just on yourself."

Naruto looked at Zetsu. They/it or whatever it was did have a very good points, Naruto wasn't sure that he should trust the creature but it did give him very good advice. Perhaps Jiji was wrong, these people would never change and he was beginning to become fed up of the way they treated him.

He asked genuinely curious about the reply he would get, "So what should I do?"

Black Zetsu spoke, "Tell me young one, what do you do when you have completely used up a resource."

Naruto answered almost immediately, "You throw it away…Oh." He understood what it was telling him." However being his stubborn self he said, "You want me to betray everyone."

White Zetsu laughed, "Betray? Who exactly are you going to betray."

"Hokage-Jiji."

Black Zetsu decided to take another approach, "The Hokage….The one who has done nothing to stop the hatred the villagers have for you. You don't own anyone anything. "

Naruto asked curiously, "So you want me to use Konoha and then discard it."

Black Zetsu corrected, "I want nothing from you, and your choices are your own. I just told you another side of the story, another way for you to release yourself from these chains cast onto you. This world is filled with cruel people and people who will stop at nothing to manipulate everyone and everything around them. That is how a Shinobi village operates; ninjas are merely tools at the disposal of their higher-ups. I see you have a lot to talk about, I'll let you mull over what we have discussed today. If you want to talk more, I will be here every week on this exact day and time. "

Naruto watched in shock as the being melded into the ground, it was an assume trick. His shock quickly evaporated and waves of thoughts and questions erupted through his mind. He had tried Jiji's way for too long perhaps it was time for a change.

He wouldn't become a failure; he refused to become a puppet. He was Uzumaki Naruto, he was no one's pawn. Konoha could go to hell for all he cared.

Then it happened, his eyes began to itch a lot and he was forced to shut them. When the itchiness subsided his entire world changed.

Black Zetsu watched in interest and a gleeful smile appeared on his face as he looked upon the change in Naruto's eyes.

A new Rinnegan had been awakened.

Here's my newest story. Pretty obvious, a Rinnegan Naruto story. Black Zetsu has a plan for Naruto and it will all add up later on in the story as to why Zetsu decided to use Naruto.

Asura's transmigrates are always unpredictable but always optimistic, they believe they can change the world. Naruto still does, he won't be evil in this story but rather a very grey character. I never understood how canon Naruto was so happy and optimistic given his childhood. If anything he would have ended up very introverted. Also Naruto's Rinnegan is a little bit different from the others. The reason is that Naruto is Asura's transmigrate and thus possess more Yang energy than Yin, his Rinnegan will take advantage of his abundant Yang reserves more.

No harem in this one. Pairing is undecided for now, I was thinking Naruto/Ino but I don't want to force anything. Next chapter Naruto begins the Academy a third time and the Hokage find out about his Dojutsu.
