NO I DON'T OWN NARUTO.
Naruto Uzumaki ran through Konoha being chased by the villagers. It was his third birthday. He turned down an alley and found a dead end. Those chasing him began to walk menacingly toward him as he cowered in fear. Panic took over and he covered as many vital spots as he could. His young mind raced as he couldn't comprehend why they were attacking him. Suddenly, one of the angry mob stabbed him in the face with a pitchfork, plucking out both eyes, while yelling 'This is for killing my family, Kyuubi scum'. The words echoed into nothingness as the world quickly turned dark.
Fugaku Uchiha was not a nice man. As chief of the Konoha Police Department, he could not afford to be. He sat behind his desk as was usual for this time of night, well past six o'clock. Distant yelling and then something about killing the demon tonight caught his attention. Upon hearing those words he immediately jumped up to see who was talking so brashly. The third Hokage had instituted law some thirty-six months ago against this very thing. From the next room he heard his two deputies plotting their part of the massacre. After soundly defeating the two co conspirators, he plucked out both sets of eyes, knowing they have matured their Sharingan. He then put them in a seal to preserve them upon a scroll, and placed it in his kunai pouch. He sprinted out of the building to the potential scene of the crime.
Upon entering the alleyway Fugaku quickly scanned the scene before him. His eyes filled with the vision of blood, a pitchfork, and a small malnourished blond boy, barely clinging to life. He heard the boy groan followed by a scream drenched in surprise and pain. "Shh, easy Naruto it will all be ok." Fugaku said to the crying boy in his best effort to comfort him. Hearing those words, Naruto, immediately stopped crying and curled into a little ball, trying to make himself as small as possible. Shivering violently and loosing more blood by the second, he felt a pair of powerful arms pick him up. Soon he felt the wind in his hair as Fugaku raced to save the boys life.
Upon entering the hospital, Fugaku, yelled for a nurse to come help him with the boy, only for the nurse on duty to take one look at the boy and sneer, saying she wasn't going to help the demon scum. At that point Fugaku had had enough, setting the boy down in a chair he walked calmly up to the nurse, who still had the sneer all over her face, and activated his Sharingan. The nurses face immediately went slack as she saw the spinning tomoes. Fugaku then repeated himself, telling her to help the boy, which she immediately complied, going over and picking up the boy, and began to walk towards the closest room. Fugaku picked up the phone behind the desk and called the Hokage office, he spoke quickly to Sarutobi and what happened to Naruto. Hiruzen appeared at the hospital via shunshin about ten seconds after Fugaku hung up the phone. They both went to the room that housed the blonde enigma, Naruto.
"What happened to my grandson?" Hiruzen yelled at the nurse, who looked back at him somewhat dumbfounded. She then went to explain everything that had happened to him.
"Hokage-sama." the nurse began. "He has multiple lacerations, starting at his ankles and moving all the way up his back to his neck, four pretty good sized puncture wounds on his chest, and both of his eyes are missing, and that's just on the outside. Honestly, I don't know how this boy has stayed alive this long. There is evidence that he has been poisoned, raped, stabbed, mutilated, drown, hung, and a multitude of other things."
The Hokage then looked at Fugaku, and studied the Uchiha very carefully. Fugaku hadn't even noticed he activated his Sharingan and was staring at Naruto with a sympathetic expression on his face.
"Fugaku, how did you come by little Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked quietly.
"Hokage-sama, I was in my office when I heard two of my most trusted laughing about what was happening to a little blond haired demon, as they put it, I ran out of my office to reprimand those two, and they ended up attacking me. I killed my own kinsman without a second thought. I then ran from the building to see if I could happen to stop this atrocity. However, I was too late, there was blood everywhere, there was a pitchfork sticking out of his chest, and he was laying on his side crying silently. Then, I brought him here, and the nurse was nice enough to take a look at him." Fugaku explained, leaving out some details and kept looking at Naruto contemplating whether he should give Naruto the eyes he happen to take from the two now dead Uchiha, coming up to a decision that only the clan head was able to, he went into further detail with the Hokage.
"So you're telling me that you would like to give Naruto, a set of matured Sharingan, and you would like to adopt him knowing about his condition?" Hiruzen asked confusedly.
"That's about the gist of it sir." Fugaku said quietly.
"Who will you have train him?" Hiruzen commented.
"Itachi of course. Itachi's skill far outshines even my own. Sasuke will have to deal with it." Fugaku answered without even thinking about the future of the clan.
"If you are sure you want to give Naruto-kun the Sharingan eye then by all means go for it, don't let me stop you." the Hokage answered, thinking over the possibilities of Naruto with the Sharingan.
Walking up to the nurse Fugaku handed her the scroll with the set of eyes in it and told her that she needed to implant them immediately or else she will face a torment worse then death. She immediately complied with what he told her to do , the operation took her less then ten minutes, and she exited the room with haste.
"Naruto might be out for a couple days Fugaku, go home get some rest, I will have Kakashi watch over him until he wakes up, then he is to report to you and myself is that okay with you?" the Hokage said quietly.
"Hai, Hokage-sama." Fugaku answered then shunshined out of the hospital, he still had two hours in his shift left. Fugaku felt a sense of pride, when he sat down at his desk. He sent for Itachi to come to the office, he had something important to discuss with the most powerful Uchiha, he didn't know if his son was going to like it very much.
Fifteen minutes later, Itachi came into the office. He walked into the office in his usual attire consisting of his black shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back, bandaged ankles and black sandals, with tan pants, weapon pouches taped to both legs and on his back, he wore his tanto proudly displaying his rank of Captain in ANBU.
"Ah, Itachi, you have finally graced me with your presence." Fugaku mused with a lighthearted chuckle. "I have a mission for you, one that you might not want to accept at first."
"Father, I have ANBU missions to take, why cant one of the other Uchiha take these missions." Itachi complained. However, it was a half complaint, he was interested in what he father had to say to say the least.
"Because, Itachi, you are the best there is, and you're a great teacher, I have given some thought on who I want you to teach, you will have two students." Fugaku said, while watching Itachi's eyes for any sign of hesitancy, which there was none.
"Who is it you wish me to teach father, I have some important things to do and I don't want this to get involved with my outside work." Itachi said quickly, trying to get to the point that his father still was taking forever to make.
"Your students will be your brother, Sasuke, and the village pariah, Uchiha Uzumaki Naruto" Fugaku dropped the bombshell.
"I understand Sasuke, but why Naruto-kun?" Itachi asked curiously.
"As of twenty-two hundred hours, Naruto is now an Uchiha." Fugaku said quietly remembering the crying blond in the alley.
"What, how, why?" Itachi asked.
"He was about murdered in an alley a block from here. The villagers stabbed out his eyes. I replaced them with matured Sharingan, and told Hiruzen that when he awakens he is to come to the Uchiha compound and his new home." he explained quietly.
"Understood father, he will be chunin by age six, probably be in ANBU by nine, he will be the strongest Uchiha alive." Itachi said immediately getting a grin from his father.
Later that same night in the hospital (Naruto's Room)
A silent shadow crept into the Hokages private hospital room, and pulled a chair close to the blond body that almost died earlier that night. A tear rolled down his face as he stared at his sensei's son, the village pariah.
The figure continued to stare at the non-moving face of this boy, the very one that took the life of his mentor, or dare he say his father figure. Slowly the figures hand started moving toward his kunai pouch, attempting to put an end to the boys life, at that exact moment, a single word ended the shadowed figures life.
Kakashi, a self made jounin by eleven, ANBU captain by thirteen, the Fourth Hokage was his sensei, and he didn't seem to have a care in the world. As the Hokage told him he had to go watch over little Naruto, it was considered an 'S' rank mission, who was he not to accept. He had been out of the village for the past three weeks straight on border duty, he had just returned with his rival Maito Guy, when the Hokage, gave this mission Guy had proclaimed to be able to watch Naruto-kun, into which he promptly passed out.
As Kakashi entered the hospital his sixth sense kicked in, and he shunshined to the Hokages room. Upon reappearing he noticed the shadow hunched over the still body of Naruto, and he noticed the figure grab a kunai. One word exited his mouth as speed took over and he plunged a electrified hand into the shape. The one word "Raikiri" is the only word Naruto truly heard as he sat straight up in bed with a frown on his face screaming from intense pain, because of the electricity screaming off of Kakashi's hand.
"Shh, it's ok Naruto, it's just me Dog." Kakashi lied to him as he deactivated his signature jutsu.
Naruto quieted down, hearing Dog, and let out a whimper of pain.
"Why can't I see?" Naruto asked panic stricken.
"About nine hours ago, you had an encounter with about one hundred civilians, they almost killed you, Uchiha Fugaku, saved your life, and he noticed that the civilians had taken your eyes so he gave you a set of eyes, in about three weeks you should be able to see, your just blind till then, I'm sorry Naruto, I wasn't here I was on a mission. The civilians will pay for what they did to you." Kakashi told the child bluntly.
"Why do they hate me so much?" Naruto asked in-between his sobs.
In that instant Kakashi's heart melted into a giant puddle of goop.
He embraced Naruto in a tight hug and muttered : "I don't know, they hate me too, all because of my father." A light snore is what accompanied his statement.
