Hey, this is my first fanfic so take it easy on me. I've had a bit of experience on writing stories and fanfics but still...Usually I know the plots for the fanfic but for this one, I only have a general idea on what will happen so ideas and suggestions would be much apprieciated. I do not own Naruto...that's why I'm writing a fanfic aren't I?
X-Factors, shinobi so powerful that they're in a class of their own. The Sanin and the Akatsuki look like Genin fresh from the Academy compared to them. Their very presence will change the outcome of a war. Every nation is fighting for to have one on their side, the Nine Jinchurriki are all classified X-Factors, the "Last Uchiha" Sasuke Uchiha and the Rokudaime Hokage, Sakura Haruno, are also among the special few shinobi. Now you may ask, why isn't Naruto Uzumaki or should I say Naruto Namikaze isn't Hokage? Because he became a Nuke-Nin, for bringing Sasuke back...on the verge of death. For that, the Fourth's Legacy was exiled from the village.

"I'm so sorry Naruto, but the civilian council demands you to be banished from Konoha, there's nothing I can do," Tsunade got out of her seat, her face streaked with tears. She absolutely hated the council, and in return, she refused to heal Sasuke's injuries and prohibited all medical ninja to as well. 'Let's see how well he does without us medics'
"I knew it was coming Baa-chan, I'll have to leave as soon as I can," Naruto sighed and shook his head sadly. Earlier, he had changed out of his bright orange jumpsuit into loose black fighting pants and a dark gray shirt to help blend in a little more. The moment he brought the battered Sasuke back, a huge mob of angry citizens surrounded him, angry at him for harming their precious Uchiha.
"Wait, take your inheirtance with you," Tsunade sniffed and wiped away the last of her tears. She straightened out her wrinkled clothes and took a deep breath. Without another word, she turned to the Fourth Hokage's portrait on the wall. Pressing a hidden button made the portrait swing to the side and to reveal a hidden safe. "These are yours,"
The Forbbiden Scroll, a small yellow scroll, a large black scroll, a small tattered leather bound book and a picture frame were laid out carefully on the desk. Naruto pushed aside the scrolls gently and picked up the picture frame. In it was the Fourth Hokage and a red haired woman holding a baby. Both were smiling happily, cradling their child.
"Are-The Fourth is my father?!?" Naruto asked awed and shocked at the same time. He picked up the leather book and flipped through it to the last entry, which was dated, October 10th.
"Yes, Minato Namikaze was your father and your mother is Kushina Uzumaki, they would have been proud of yo-" Tsunade was cut off when there was a sharp rap at the door. "Tsunade-sama! The civilian council would like to see you now in your office." Shizune called.
"Go now, keep safe I'll contact you via slug," Tsunade spoke hurriedly in hushed tones. All the while she was speaking she slid the Fourth's picture into place and fixed her desk so it looked like she was working.
Startled, Naruto quickly gathered his inheirtance and leapt to an open window. "I'll be back one day Baa-chan, I'll become more powerful," with one last look around the office, he dissapeared not to be seen for another year or two.
{Flashback End}
That was two months ago. Now Naruto had been constantly on the run from all the Ne ANBU that Danzo had sent to hunt him down. At first he had thought of staying at Suna but then that would put Suna at a difficult position with Konoha. Not wanting to cause a war between the two nations, he had wisely chose to stay away.
Currently, he hid in a rocky forest outside of Iwa, no Konoha nin would dare stray here, ordered or not. It was simply unreasonable. If they were caught inside the borders of Iwa, the Iwa nins might take this little intrusion and turn it into an excuse to wage war against Konoha once more. But the Ne ANBU were becoming more and more daring and sly. They now wore the uniforms and headbands of Kumo nins. So if they were caught, the blame would be shifted to Kumo.
Naruto sighed and leaned back against the tree behind him. The last two months were spent training. He figured out his elemental affinity, wind and lightning. The big black scroll he recieved held alot of those kinds of jutsu's along with a whole lot more. Heck, the Chidori even showed up in there. There was one other jutsu that he had mastered...well mastered to a point that he could use it but not completely mastered. That was the Rasengan, one of the most powerful jutsu his father had created.
Originally, it was done with a clone helping him produce the chakra he needed. Now he finally managed to get it with a single hand. The Rasengan was such a versatile jutsu, it was simply the foundation to a whole new level of jutsu's.
Suddenly, he sat up, snapped out of his thoughts by the sudden presence of several high leveled chakra presences. 'Ne again,' he realized. Silently, he leapt onto a nearby tree branch, creating several clones as he went.
One clone continued his path, skimming lightly through the thin foilage. The climate was not suitable for trees to have foilage dense enough to provide enough camoflauge but it'll have to do.
The second clone veered sharply off to the right, heading for the river nearby. The thicker underbrush that grew near the water's edge would provide a decent cover, better than the trees did anyways.
The final clone leapt away deeper into the meager forest, trying hard to blend in with the tree's and the shadow's they cast.
Once his clones were on their way, Naruto dove off the branch he was on and hit the ground running. His steps were silent and unnoticable, cloaked in wind chakra, effectively silencing them. Turning sharply, he headed towards the rocky terrain that Iwa was famous for. Effortlessly, he leapt over a large boulder in his way and landed right behind it, deciding whether or not to take a rest there when the ground gave away.
He tumbled heads over heels into the pit and landed at the bottem with a thud. Groaning, he looked around him, the pit was about 10 feet in length and 20 feet high. For some reason, the walls were smooth and shiny, he found out why when he tried to stick to them and walk up them. The walls were chakra-absorbant so whatever fell in could not climb back out or bust their way out.
Cursing inwardly, Naruto simply settled down to wait. It didn't take too long before footsteps were heard and a some crouched on the side of the pit. Someone wearing a dragon ANBU mask looked down at him, the person raidiated calm confidence with no intention of killing him. "Namikaze Naruto, wielder of the Kyuubi no Kitsune I presume?"
That's my first chapter, I have a couple more ideas for fanfics in the works, being polished up so I can actually write them. And updates may or may not be weekly, it depends on the time I have. R&R please and thank-you!~AnimeClouds
