I do not own Naruto lately it has turned into garbage I think the best thing about it now is all the fanfictions it has inspired


Chapter One:

Naruto stood in front of the Hokage his orange jumpsuit ripped up and covered in blood, but the most disturbing thing was that the usually happy blonde ball of energy was completely still. The cocky grin on his face was replaced by an emotionless mask, his blue eyes that always had a mischievous sparkle to them, now pierced right into your soul, they made it seem as if he could see all the sins you had committed; their usual warm glow gone, now they were burning in anger, pent up rage, and pain.

'Curse that Mizuki, why did he have to involve Naruto' Sarutobi thought with a sigh as he observed Naruto

Sarutobi really felt sorry for him, Naruto had to put up with unimaginable pain from villagers and ninja alike, but no matter how bad the beatings were or how many degrading things were done to him Naruto had always walked away smiling.

'Until today' Sarutobi scowled

Everybody had a limit even Naruto, and they had finally pushed him past it.


Flashback

Naruto was lying on his back trying to catch his breath after learning the shadow clone technique from the forbidden scroll Mizuki had told him to steal in order to graduate the academy. Naruto had been practicing the technique for the last couple hours until he was able to do it with one hand-sign, and was taking a small break when he heard a whizzing sound. Standing up quickly a kunai stabbed into his thigh which was now where his head was a second ago. Naruto collapsed from the sudden pain in his leg; frantically looking around he saw someone jump down from the

"Mizuki-sensei please help! Someone's attacking me!" Naruto cried out

Glancing around suspiciously Mizuki made his way over to Naruto who looked up at him hope in his eyes, but when Mizuki stopped near him his look of suspicion morphed into a furious sneer right before he sent a chakra powered kick into Naruto's chest that sent him flying backwards several yards into a thorn bush tearing his clothes and scratching his face.

"Like anybody would help a demon like you" Mizuki said with a sneer as he walked up and pulled Naruto out of the thicket by his throat and held him out at arm's length

"Why?" was all Naruto managed to croak out as his windpipe was being crushed by Mizuki iron like grip

"Why? Why? You know I'm in a good mood so I'll share a secret with you" Mizuki laughed

Then slammed Naruto onto the ground with enough force to make a small crater

"The day you were born the Sandaime created a law that everybody but you was supposed to know" Mizuki said with a sneer

Recovering from the pain just enough to pay attention to what Mizuki was saying

'What' Naruto thought 'why would the old man make a law that everyone but me knows about?'

Mizuki watched as Naruto rolled out of the crater painfully; then his smirk grew even wider as he decided to really crush the demon brat

"Do you want to know why everybody hates you" Mizuki asked as he crouched next to a prone Naruto

Naruto forced himself to look up at Mizuki despite the pain it caused him.

'I'll finally know why everyone hates me' he thought as he laid there tear filled eyes looking up at Mizuki hopefully

Mizuki smirked 'oh I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finds out it will be priceless' taking a breath he said "it's because you're-"

Mizuki stopped and suddenly jumped backwards, Naruto looked around and saw three kunai stuck in the ground where Mizuki had been crouching

Mizuki cursed someone had found them looking to where the kunai had come from all the color drained from his face. Standing there was the Hokage himself with a squad of ANBU guards staring back at him. Not seeing any way to escape Mizuki resigned himself to his death, but decided to leave a mess for the old bastard to clean up. Smirking Mizuki turned back to

"You are the nine tailed fox" Mizuki yelled out before a kunai sliced open the front of his throat

Clamping the front of his neck shut with his hand trying in vain to stop the flow of blood

"You…are…the…Kyuubi no Kitsune" Mizuki gurgled out enjoying the horrified look on Naruto's face before he died

End flashback


Sarutobi sat behind his desk puffing on his pipe, opening his eyes he glanced at Naruto; of all the reactions Naruto could have had he picked the least likely one. Sarutobi had expected a flood of questions, crying and even screaming yet there was none of that. Naruto had just stood in the same spot unmoving staring at him with eyes filled with so much hate, anger, and pain that it made Sarutobi wince.

Naruto just kept staring at him with those burning eyes not moving or saying anything for a few minutes before starting to speak

"You lied to me" Naruto said glaring at the old Hokage

Sarutobi slumped his shoulders in defeat as he saw all the hate Naruto was staring at him with

Naruto ignored him and kept going "Every time I asked you why people hated me you always told me you didn't know, you lied right to my face, making me believe that every time I was beaten or called names it was because of something that I did when it was something that I had no control over, and to top it all off I had to find out from somebody who was trying to kill me that I am the kyuubi"

The old Hokage who had slowly been sinking deeper into his chair with each accusation shot back up

"No! You are not the kyuubi, you are its jailer; the once who holds the demon at bay" Sarutobi yelled

Then quickly walked over and knelt next to Naruto

"The Yondaime performed a sealing ritual that severely damaged his body in order to lock the demon into a newborn child, you were never the demon!" Sarutobi said putting his hand on Naruto's shoulder smiling gently

Naruto jerked away from the man he had once seen as a grandfather

"Then why didn't you tell me" asked Naruto glaring at the kneeling Hokage

"It was the Yondaime's choice that you only be told when you became a Chunin" Sarutobi said standing up, hurt that Naruto wouldn't even let him try to comfort him

Naruto glared at the ground "so not only did that bastard ruin my life by sealing a demon in me, but he then left me to suffer not knowing why" Naruto muttered to himself just loud enough for Sarutobi to hear

Sarutobi was panicking nothing was going right, dam that Mizuki killing him had been to merciful, thinking fast he needed to come up with some good news for Naruto and fast

Naruto started to walk out the door muttering to himself as he left "funny how a traitor, who used me and wanted to kill me has been the only person to be honest with me"

"WAIT! NARUTO!" Sarutobi yelled causing Naruto paused at the door

"What do you want Hokage-sama?" Naruto asked

Sarutobi winced when Naruto called him by his title, but decided to continue anyway "I can tell you about your parents" he said completely sure this would make him happy

Sarutobi was shocked he expected a smile or Naruto crying tears of joy anything but the anger he was seeing

"So not only did you lie to me about why I was hated but you lied to me about my family as well, all the other times I asked you before you always told me you didn't know who they were, that they died fighting the very beast I hold in me now" Naruto said in the quiet voice that he had been using the whole time "how can I trust you on anything now that I know you have lied to me my whole life?"

Sarutobi winced and hung his head in shame not being able to deny anything Naruto said

"So who were they" Naruto asked

"You mean who are they" Sarutobi corrected with a small smile

Naruto's head snapped up and a range of emotions flickered in his eyes. Sarutobi watched as emotions were going across his face first happiness, then anger, and finally settled on sadness

'Sad why is he sad' Sarutobi thought to himself

"So they hated me to" Naruto said to himself calmly as if excepting the fact

"NO! They loved you very much" Sarutobi quickly said

Naruto just scoffed "If they loved me they wouldn't have left me alone" he said "can I go home now Hokage-sama"

Sarutobi winced when Naruto called him Hokage-sama again instead of old man or Jiji anymore he knew that whatever trust Naruto had in him was gone

"Don't you want to know who they are?" Sarutobi asked hopefully trying to salvage the situation

"They abandoned me" Naruto started

Sarutobi was about to cut in but Naruto didn't give him the chance

"I have had to fend to myself I have gone through more torture in my life then the entire T&I department has done in the last ten years, hell they even use my memories to torture any A class criminals and above, why would I want to know the people responsible for putting my through that, now if you will excuse me Hokage-sama I am going home to get a good night's sleep " Naruto finished his rant and slammed the door shut and turned to go down the stairs walking past two red headed people one tall woman and another about his age.

Sarutobi slumped back in his chair "well that could have gone better" he said in a tired voice seemingly to himself

Until a man slid out of the shadows; The man was dressed in a regular Leaf jonin outfit with the only difference being that he wore a white robe with red flames licking the bottom and it also had the symbols for fourth Hokage running from his right shoulder towards the floor over his Jonin outfit said no longer mystery man walked out of the shadows revealing himself to be Minato Namikaze and slumped into one of the chairs across from the Hokage's desk. Then there was a knock in the door

"Come in" Sarutobi called out

Two red heads entered the older one was about five foot eight with red hair reaching down to her lower back and had a beautiful hour glass figure that any woman would kill for and an equally beautiful heart shaped face with stunning green eyes and the second person was about the twelve years old and was an almost perfect carbon copy of the older women she had the same rich red blond hair that reached down past her shoulder blades a heat shaped face and stood at about five foot five and had the same emerald green eyes as the older women the only difference being that she had three whisker marks on each cheek.

"Kushina it's good to see you again" Sarutobi said in a tired voice, Kushina just gave him a tired nod as she wiped away her tears "and you must be Natsuki" he said looking at the younger red head who was looking around excitedly not sensing the somber mood

"Yeah and I'm going to be Hokage one day, believe it" Natsuki blurted out before going red with embarrassment and hiding behind her mother slightly

"I see she is just like you Kushina" Sarutobi said with a chuckle "well your compound is ready for you guys to move into once Minato disables the security seals around it"

"Thank you old man we will see you tomorrow at the coronation ceremony" said Minato as he and his family left
