This idea came to me several years ago however, I never bothered with it due to how often I go AWOL. I haven't really had much free time in a long time. I am not sure how long I will be able to write, I'm currently waiting to see how much time I will have.

Looking back over my old stories, I like where I was going with them, but the writing is absolute shitsauce. I will attempt to repair and fix them as I can, however they might just be redone completely as I get time. I attempted to fix the first chapter of chasing a boy through the wind, I'm still not too pleased by it.

I'll try and write a new chapter for each story here soon, but for now I at least wanted to do a bit of this new story idea.

This story is currently Naruto/Hinata; I may or may not make it a small harem depending on my mood and everyones opinion. If enough people want a harem I'll make a poll. (Although it will be awhile before any romance, my old writing style where everyone just jumped on was terrible.)

The time frame of this story is fucked up, and the ages of people may change slightly

I am adding a new branch into the whole justu thing, I wil NOT be putting lyrics or known songs into this story from known artists, I'm not twelve.

"Songs" allow the singer to use certain justu/genjustu/taijustsu etc without handsigns, they basically sing/speak the language.

Technique/Jutsu: Kage bushin no jutsu

Normal speech: "I hate paperwork. I bet Minato died just to escape this Hellhole."

Demon/Summon or Fusion speech: "Finally, I am free. Fuck off Minato!"

Human Thinking: 'Oh, Shit.'

Demon or Inner beings thoughts: 'Oh, Shit is right! You are royally screwed bitches!'

Flashback: Time to crap myself again, just like last time!

Prologue: History and Jutsu

Long ago, in a world very unlike our own, there was a great beast who roamed the land. This beast, known to mortals in the old language as "Jūbi," or the "demon with ten-tails" as is known in the modern tongue. The powerful beast destroyed nearly everything it came across, it is said that new maps were to be made along the paths it took. Very little is known now to anyone alive about these events, but it is known that the powerful "Sage of six paths" was able to defeat the powerful beast. It is unknown as to why, but 9 new beasts of lesser power appeared not long after the death of the Sage. Some say he was unable to kill the 10 tails and was forced to split it. Some say the 10 tailed creature gave birth to them before being slain. No one knows, and the known ancient texts provide little insight into the entire affair.

Some believe the texts are just fairy tales, for these occurrences are said to have happened many, many years ago. Some say a thousand, some say only six hundred, and some say it was before man ever got a foothold into the land itself.

Nearly all stories mark these occurrences as the creation of techniques, requiring energy from both body and mind that can be utilized in some as weapons. This energy, known as "Charkra" is the energy used by practitioners in order to perform various feats. "Ninjustu" is the use of energy, special symbols made by the hands that assist in mapping out the technique to the mind and soul, and steady control result in the use of Ninjustu, or "jutsu" as known more in modern tongue. Justu governs the use of the five elements (Doton or earth release, Suiton or water release, Katon or fire release, Raiton or lightening release, and Fūton or wind release), as well as the use of several lesser known sources of energy. These techniques allow for anything from treating an injured person to calling upon fire to burn a house to the ground. Generally, the stronger the power, the more symbols must be made to represent the power and the more chakra is required.

The secondary set of techniques "Taijustu" in which chakra is focused through the body to utilize the inner strength of the body itself. Practitioners are able to things, such as walking on trees, or projecting their bodies to incredible speeds or heights. While less flashy than ninjustu, these techniques rarely require symbols of any type and be utilized in a split second, in many cases with deadly results.

The third set of skills, "Genjutsu" is best described as illusionary. The body is said to be controlled by five major senses, although over twenty actual senses are more agreed upon now. Genjustu utilizes chakra and hand signs to alter or control the senses of oneself or others. Something as simple as quickly falling asleep, to an entire town being forced to commit suicide is possible with these skills. Genjustu requires an extensive control of chakra, as well as the ability to alter one's own chakra to mimic another's, or to alter the area around them in some way. While many harden their bodies, fewer harden their minds. Genjutsu, if not seen coming, can quickly be the last thing the victim will ever see.

Many "lesser" techniques exist as well, being those less known about. In all fields, many techniques have either been undiscovered as of yet, or have been forgotten with time. Senjustu is known to have control over natural energy, Fūinjutsu is a long forgotten line of techniques that allow for sealing of mass or energy into other objects. There are others as well, Kenjutsu the art of the sword is another prime example. As of the modern era, most techniques have been lost over time, as they must be utilized using the ancient symbols and names. It is speculated than less than one percent of all justu are known as of this day and age.

"Kekkei Genkai", is the utilization of chakra in a way that only those with specific genetics may obtain them. These powers can be focused in body parts, such as the eye or bones. These techniques may be as simple as the use of a single mind soothing bell ring, or as powerful as the ability to cut through dimensions to summon black fire. Every village is as careful as they can be to obtain rare and powerful techniques, especially Kekkei Genkai.

Finally, in this tale there is one more branch of techniques. Tamashījustu (or soul techniques) exist as specialized forms of combined genjustu and ninjustu. By utilizing the chakra of ones very soul, "songs" may be utilized for combat and produce many varying effects. Generally practitioners of this field must undergo extensive training to use even the most simple of techniques. Those who do practice these techniques (1 in 1000 chakra users have any potential what so ever) are known as "Bards." The other type of Tamashījustu users are those who train to attack the mind or soul directly, these fell users are said to corrupt the powers of the soul and will directly attack the soul of others, but usually hunt down Bards. These practitioners (1 in 500 can utilize to some extent) are known as "mimes."

All practitioners of chakra techniques are said to be known as "Shinobi" or ninja, and will be known as such. Ranks include Genin (apprentice) Chunin (foot soldier) Jonin (Leaders and advanced fighters) Sanin (Elite of the elite, for this story each village has a couple of these) and Kage (Supreme leader, almost always the strongest shinobi to exist within a village).

There are five great villages within the elemental nations, as well as many smaller nations. The land of Lightning is represented by Kumogakure (village hidden amongst clouds). The land of Water is represented by Kirigakure (village hidden amongst mist). The land of Wind, represented by Sunagakure (Village hidden amongst the sand). The land of Earth has Iwagakure (Village hidden amongst stones). And finally, the land of fire has Konohagakure (Village hidden amongst the leaves).

Our story takes place during the fourth great ninja war, where the village of Kumo and Iwa have declared war on Konoha and Suna. Kiri, is unofficially also in the war, providing men to both sides as mercenaries. Many other smaller villages have either allied themselves, or have been dragged into the war due to location or resources.

Our story will focus Konohagakure, or more specifically, a small group within Konoha. This is the story of a young orphan and his small band of friends as they fight to stay alive and protect those who are precious to them. The young orphan is named Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto was not what you would call a normal child. He was the human container of the greatest of the nine tailed demons, the "Kyuubi no Kitsune. The famous fourth Hokage fought the nine tailed demon in mortal combat to protect the village. Unable to kill such a beast he sealed half of its being within himself, and half into the body of child only hours old. That Child was in fact Naruto, who hadn't had his chakra system develop yet, combined with the blood of an Uzumaki, was able to contain the beast. The sealing of the demon cost the Hokage his life and his death was mourned throughout the village. As for the boy, many see him as the embodiment of evil. Naruto is generally ignored by the populace, a fate worse than death to one who dreams of acceptance. Naruto has also received physical abuse and even more than one attempt on his life.

This story will begin where Naruto is 12 years old. He and his class will be subjected to the fourth great ninja war.
