Naruto ran on all fours as fast as he could he really hated his birthday. Everyone was chasing him around and tried to kill him. He was already badly hurt . He finally found a place to hide for now. He didn't understand this was the first year they had done this and he didn't like it.

'I can help you.' Naruto blinked at the voice in his head. He was shaking. 'Don't be scared. My name is Kurama. I'm the Nine Tailed Beast. I'm sealed inside you. I can tell you everything you want and need to know. I can train you to be better than everyone else. The best hokage. '

"W-What do I need to do?" the small scared boy asked, in a weak voice.

'I will heal you. I will teach you to draw on my Chakra and it will heal you. '

For Naruto the process seemed to take years when really it only took a few minuets. He felt his wounds close to stop the blood.

'This way they can tell you were only defending yourself. ' Kurama said, 'They are coming head for Hokage Tower and listen to me. When questioned do not tell anyone you can hear me!'

Naruto did as told never once questioning Kurama. He was too scared to do so. People chased him yelling 'Demon and Murderer' . In his head Naruto was being instructed on how to activate his Namikaze bloodline. He hadn't even known he was the son of the Fourth Hokage. He grunted when something cut deep into his side right outside the Tower. He faced the crowd.

'Now Naruto!'

"DIZZYING EYE!" Naruto screamed as loud as he could shocking those working at the Tower who'd come out and those chasing him. Those chasing him couldn't move anymore. Naruto was shaking. "Leave me alone! "He yelled, "I never did anything to you! Please leave me alone! "

"Naruto." Hiruzen said, approaching Naruto gently. "Naruto, please release them."

"They are paralyzed. " An ANBU said, softly, "He's only unlocked the first step."

"Naruto. " Hiruzen was worried. He didn't seem to hear him. He smiled when Naruto glanced at him. "Please let them go, Naruto, they won't hurt you anymore."

'It's okay, let them go.' Kurama said, 'You've had enough for your first time. We will train this later.'

Naruto's eyes turned blue again or rather turned back to his normal blue. His eyes had gone a deep blue color then had had sapphire swirls in them. He blinked up at Hiruzen the Hokage and his Jiji or that's what he liked to call him.

"JIJI!" Naruto threw himself in the old man's arms. Hiruzen held him close picking him up.

"It's okay, Naruto." Hiruzen told him rubbing his back. everyone watched him frown. Naruto was far too small and far too light for a five year old. He turned and walked into the Tower yelling orders as he did. "Its okay , Naruto. Shh. It's okay."

Naruto wasn't crying but the shaking just wouldn't stop.

Naruto had finally calmed down and his wounds were being tended to by Tsunade Senju.

"Thank you, Baa-Chan." Naruto mumbled , he suddenly felt a hand on his head. He looked up and gave a weak smile. "Rya-Jiji."

"I'm sorry I'm late." Jiraya said, softly. "I tried to make it back in time. "

"S'okay." Naruto said, he then beamed when a stuffed toad looking like Jiraya's own summon was placed in his lap. "Genma-Chan, you escaped !" The ANBU all flinched Naruto's room at the orphanage had been trashed they had managed to salvage very little. They watched the small boy hug the toy like it was the greatest treasure on earth. "I'm so glade you escaped, Genma-Chan."

Jiraya smiled and rubbed his hand in to Naruto's head. He'd given the toad to Naruto when he was two. At that time it had been bigger than him but he'd toted it around behind him as he went everywhere. Had even taken to tying in on his back when he'd learned to jump around on roofs. Had played that he had summoned it like Jiraya summoned Gamabunta. Naruto always had his Genma-Chan toy and wallet with him. When they'd found both in the wreckage they had been worried.

"Genma-Chan is okay." Tsunade told the boy , "I gave him a gull check up." Naruto beamed at her. "I also found Genma-chan wallet." she gave it to him and he hid it in his shirt. She messed up his hair as well. She and Jiraya shared a look and both nodded at once. "You just stay here and play while Baa-Chan and Jiji talk to Hokage. "

"Okay, Baa-Chan." he said, but of course he got right up and ran to his favorite ANBU. "Inu! " He man knelt down. "Inu, Genma-chan survived."

Inu indulged the five year olds rambling while the two Sannin yelled at the Hokage demanding removal of Ninja Duties and custody of Naruto both had fair claim. Tsunade through her and Naruto's grandmother's blood, Both are the grandchildren of Mito Uzumaki the first carrier of Kurama says so on Narutopedia, and Jiraya as Godfather. They agreed to raise him together.

"Baa-Chan!" Naruto screamed as loud as he could. He was sitting infront of the whole council. "Rya-Jiji!" Both were at his side in a flash. Naruto climbed into Tsunade's arms. "Genma-Chan's scared."

She smiled at him knowing the truth it wasn't Genma-chan who was scared it was Naruto.

"Genma-Chan doesnt' need to be scared. " Jiraya said, "We are right here and they can't hurt Genma-Chan or you . We wont let them. " Naruto nodded . "Just tell them what happened."

"I was playing with Genma-Chan." Naruto said, in a soft voice. Yet the whole room could hear him. "We were playing Ninja. We were getting ready to go on a mission in the woods to find Rya-Jiji and Baa-Chan when a smoke bomb came through the window. We dove under my bed and pulled the blankets over our mouths." People were nodding it was a good thing to do. "Cause Baa-Chan always told us to if something like that happened. Then people came in and they started tearing apart my room. We got to the window but Genma-Chan fell. I tried to reach him because Rya-Jiji says Ninja don't leave their Team mates behind. But someone hit me really hard and I fell. I had to run because a whole mob was after me and I can't use Jutsu. They chased me all day and all night, when they caught they beat me and tried to kill me. They called me 'Demon' and 'Murderer' said, I killed people and wrecked the village but I'm only a little kid I couldn't have done something like that. I ran all over the village then I finally realized I was being stupid and came to the Tower. I don't know what happened with my eyes. I swear I don't! I just wanted them to STOP hurting me. Then they suddenly did."

"It's called a Kekki Genkai." Hiashi Hyuga told the boy. "Dizzying Eye is a Dojutsu or Eye Kekki Genkai. "

"Oh, " Naruto said, "So it's not bad? I didn't do anything wrong?"

"It does not sound like it."Tsume Inuzuzka replied. "In fact it seems you've done something right. You'd make a good Ninja."

Naruto was suddenly beaming.

"She said, I could be ninja like you, and Baa-Chan, Rya-Jiji!"

"I heard." Jiraya chuckled rubbing his Godson's hair as the boy yawned and cuddled up to Tsunade's chest. She held their precious person close and tightly, but not too tight, they were not giving up their Naruto with out a fight. "This boy is legally ours and we are taking him. If you will not allow us to raise him here. We will raise him in another village. "

When Naruto woke he found he was sleeping in a room full of toys. The room was a pale blue that he really liked. But the toys were all baby toys. He saw a cradle and got off the bed to run over to it. Genma-Chan with him. Pulling him self up he saw a little black haired one year staring back at him. The door opened.

"Baa-Chan, it's a baby!"

Tsunade laughed, picking him up.

"His name is Konohamaru." Hiruzen said, "He is my grandson. "

"Hi, Konohamaru." Naruto said, the name very slowly so he could say it properly. "I'm Naruto, Believe it!" Konohamaru babbled back. "Are you big enough to play with me and Genma-Chan?"

"Not yet he's not." A woman said, lifting the baby out of the cradle "Give him some more time, Naruto."

he didn't know the lady but nodded and clung to his Baa-Chan.

'Why must you humans get up so early?' Kurama yawned. 'Very well you will beg for schooling today and I will teach you what they do not cover."

"School." Naruto said, at breakfast. "I'm 5. I want to go to school."

Tsunade and Jiraya exchanged a look of worry but a few hours later they were walking their new little one to the Ninja with Chakra went here before they went to the real Academy. Naruto wore black shorts and a black short sleeve shirt with the Uzumaki Clan logo on it. He was beaming ear to ear. Genma-Chan was tied to his back.
