Hey guys! Welcome to the first/intro chapter of my fan-fic based in Konoha (that made me put the other one on hold). I felt like the other one was going by too quickly, and I didn't like that. So, I started this one! I hope you guys like it, and I'll make sure to explain everything in the next few chapters, but bear with me. This is (hopefully) going to be a good story, because I have the base goal in mind, and with that I can actually fill the space between now and the accomplishment of that. So, here it is!

Disclaimer: I do not own anything in Naruto. Not even the characters I may or may not make. *Hears someone whisper something to me*. Oh. Apparently I own what I make.

P.S. Stop SOPA!


It all started with the Wave mission.


Naruto Uzumaki was beginning to tire of D-Rank missions all the time, but he had decided to just let it slide. He trusted his grandfather-figure the Hokage after all. But Sasuke Uchiha was not quite in the same mindset. He was getting more and more restless. If he couldn't take tougher missions, he would never get stronger. And if he never got stronger, he would never defeat his hated brother Itachi Uchiha.

Their other team-mate Sakura Haruno on the other hand, didn't care what type of mission they got as long as they were with her beloved "Sasuke-kun". And their sensei Kakashi Hatake was impassive. He, along with Naruto, knew that the Hokage would give them higher ranked missions when they were ready.

However, a day came when they were chasing Tora the cat, the most hated creature (besides the Kyubi no Kitsune) that the village of Konohagakure had ever seen, that Sasuke Uchiha lost his temper and demanded a harder mission from the old Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Seeing how upset Sasuke was, the old man decided to give them a C-Rank mission. It would be a simple job, just an escort for a bridge builder named Tazuna to the Nami no Kuni, the Land of Waves.

However, none of them had expected to encounter the Demon Brothers while escorting the old Bridge Builder. The encounter had been a close call for the entire team, save for Kakashi. They had (for the most part) handled it poorly, resulting in Naruto getting poisoned and losing a lot of blood. Within moments, Naruto had already healed from the kunai wound in his hand, courtesy of his haste to remove the poison from his system. Needless to say, the boy's healing factor shocked the team's sensei.

After getting to Nami no Kuni via boat, the team was confronted by the infamous missing ninja named Zabuza Momochi. After a struggle against the missing-nin, Naruto managed to free his sensei from a Water Prison, and proceeded to observe the battle between the two Jounin level shinobi. After defeating Zabuza, Kakashi was about to deliver the killing blow when a mysterious Hunter-Nin appeared and seemingly killed Zabuza and took the corpse away for destruction.

Promptly passing out after the encounter, Kakashi was suffering from chakra exhaustion and decided to teach his team the tree walking exercise to prepare them for the confrontation that he had told them was sure to come.

A week later, it had finally come. The attack on the almost finished bridge by Zabuza Momochi and his fake Hunter-Nin companion Haku.

Thoroughly trouncing Sasuke alone inside his ice mirrors, Haku was more than surprised when the boy he had met in the woods came to his friend's defence, only to be trapped alongside him in the ice mirrors.

Continuing to beat both boys severely, she was shocked again when the Uchiha awakened his Sharingan in his desperation to defend his friend Naruto. This was all for naught, as Haku still possessed superior speed and skills, but it was slightly more evened out.

The breaking point had come for Naruto when he had seen his friend and brother-figure "killed" by the fake Hunter-Nin.

In a swirl of red chakra, Naruto's black hair blew about as though in an unfelt wind. His jet-black eyes slowly morphed into blood red, as a single tomoe appeared in each Sharingan eye.

He would make the masked shinobi pay for killing his friend.

With an unearthly roar, he sent his fist flying for where he knew his enemy's face would be, and much to their mutual surprise, the fist connected, shattering the mask and sending the boy through his ice mirrors.


So, I hope you guys all liked it! I know it was short, I just wanted to get this part out of the way. I figured the Wave mission was the best place to have Naruto awaken the Sharingan, and I wanted to start with that. The next few chapters will be on how Naruto's life was up until this point, though it was mostly cannon. There are some changes, like the black hair and eyes, but other than that there should only be a bit of difference.

Anyway, this has been the first chapter for Naruto Uchiha: The Hidden Boy! I hope you all enoyed!

Review or PM me any ideas/suggestions and I'll consider putting them in somewhere. Bye readers!
