Demonick: Yea Fray summed it up pretty well. Ok guys that will be enough commentary for now. On with the Show!

Chapter 1: Where it all begins

The day had started out so beautiful. The sun shone down on the village of Konohagakure, its yellow luminescent glow bathing everything within its reach. Even though this was expected of a summer day in Konoha people still admired the beauty of it, the day couldn't have been anymore perfect. The flowers and trees had bloomed just recently and little boys and girls ran around the village playing games such as 'ninja' and 'hunter nin and missing nin'. This day should have been absolutely perfect.

"Raiton: Raigeki (Lightning Style: Lightning strike)!" A voice shouted out, splitting the quietness that had spread throughout the night air.

At the receiving end of the jutsu our blonde haired hero, Uzumaki Namikaze Naruto was wondering how this day could have ended so tragically.

Flashback:

2 days ago One Naruto Uzumaki crouched down in a dark corner of the orphanage, quietly giggling to himself. The small 3 year old had just set up his latest prank on the orphanage matron.

Soon he heard shuffling coming from inside the matrons' office and he instantly knew that the woman was too preoccupied to notice his prank. As that train of thought ran through his mind he heard the matron open her office door followed by a startled shriek and then loud cursing. Naruto had decided to pull an old school prank and had perched a bucket full of water above the matrons door letting it spill on her when she opened the door. By this time Naruto couldn't help himself and he began to laugh up roaringly, he just happened to find the situation that funny. That was quickly ended though as the still soaking wet matron entered the room where he was hiding and grabbed him by the hem of his shirt, after she noticed him, and began to drag him behind her screaming all the while.

"Narutooooooo! I'm tired of this! Get out of here! You are no longer permitted to live in this orphanage!" The matron shouted as she opened the orphanage door and tossed the blonde outside before closing and locking the door behind him. The woman had been so angry that she had forgotten to inform the hokage of Naruto's expulsion from the orphanage, a fact that would come back to bite her in the ass very soon.

Back with Naruto the boy had just pushed himself to his feet and brushed the dirt and other stains off of his clothes as best he could. He stared at the orphanage for several moments his young adolescent mind not fully comprehending what had just happened until he just shrugged his shoulders and walked off. He decided that he would look around the village for a bit as he had never really been outside of the orphanage, It wasn't that he wasn't allowed outside of it just more along the lines of that he never had a reason to leave the building. As he walked around the village Naruto noticed several of the villagers glaring at him with hate filled eyes kind of like they were condemning him for some heinous crime. While he continued to look around an object in one of the shops windows caught his attention. Naruto approached the window that the object was behind to behold a stuffed fox with 9 tails and around it were 9 other creatures each with a different number of tails starting at a 1 tailed racoon and ending at the fox with 9 tails, the only exception was a purple snake leech hybrid that had one tail. The figures captured Naruto's interest and held him there for several seconds as he admired a creatures. This proved to be a bad thing as the owner of the store noticed his starring visage and ran out of the store screaming his lungs out.

"Get away from that window you damn demon!" The man screamed then picked up a broom that was sitting right outside of the door and charging Naruto.

Naruto was shocked by the outburst and stumbled backwards and was even more shocked and scared when the man began to charge him with the broom. Deciding that staying was not in his best interest Naruto ran away from the scene of what had just happened and after several long minutes had pushed the confrontation, if it could be called that, to the the back of his mind. After another bout of searching around the village for several hours Naruto began to grow hungry and started to search out a restaurant that he could eat at. Another hour passed by before Naruto finally found a place he believed he might be able to eat at and entered the stand simply titled Ichiraku Ramen.

Timeskip:

Present day earlier in the evening Naruto crawled out of the hollow of the tree that he had been living in for the past 2days after being kicked out of the orphanage. He had just taken a nap inside the hollow of the tree and was feeling really hungry and decided to go find something to eat, not aware of what was happening at the orphanage at that current moment.

With Sarutobi Hiruzen

The aged leader of the village sat behind his desk battling against the largest threat ever known on the planet and possibly the entire multiverse, a force so evil it would make Kaguya Otsutsuki, mother of the sage of six paths and his brother along with being the greatest force of evil ever encountered cower in fear. This vile enemy…...was paperwork. It had taken the sandaime quite some time to finish all of the paperwork that had accumulated on his desk over the past few days and therefore had had no time to visit his surrogate grandson, Uzumaki Naruto. As his thoughts shifted to the young boy he began to realise that he had gotten any news about him from the orphanage over the past 2 days. The old man thought it over in his mind for several minutes until finally coming to a decision.

"Neko (cat), Inu (dog), Itachi (weasel)." He seemingly spoke to no one. Suddenly 3 blurs shot across the room before landing in a kneeling position before their leader.

"Hai Hokage-sama!" They replied in unison.

"I am heading to the orphanage to visit Naruto kun. Cat I want you to drop off and retrieve Hebi (snake) before meeting back up with us at the orphanage since I want you 4 to be my guards for this trip. Besides I am sure that Naruto kun would like to see his Nii san's (big brothers) and Nee chan's (big sisters) and you 4 wouldn't mind seeing him either." Hiruzen spoke a small smile adorning his face.

The 3 masked and kneeling ANBU shot their heads up before allowing small smiles to appear on their faces for the briefest of moments.

"Of course Hokage-sama!" They all once again replied in unison. "Good, now let's head out."

As the group exited the Hokage tower Neko split from the group and rushed towards the ANBU HQ to retrieve her partner and friend for the mission they had been assigned. It took several minutes for the remaining members of the group to reach the orphanage as they had decided to walk at a sedate pace through the village. Finally though they reached their destination and not a moment too soon as at the exact same moment Neko and Hebi appeared by their side. Now that the entire group had arrived at their destination they all proceeded to enter the building and approached the matrons office. Hiruzen knocked on the door and received a swift enter from the matron and did as requested and entered the room with his entourage. The matron seeing who had entered her office quickly stood from her sitting position and welcomed the Hokage and his ANBU with a warm smile.

"hello Hokage-sama. It is a pleasure to see you and your ANBU this fine afternoon, what can I do for you?" The woman questioned in a low tone.

"Hello to you also Kurai-chan. Me and my guards are here to see Naruto kun and we figured we would take him out of your hair for a few hours so that you could get some rest in the process, and how has he been doing as I haven't received any reports about him from you in the past couple of days."

As the reason for the Hokage's visit was stated Kurai froze as she came to the realization that she had forgotten to inform the hokage of what had transpired 2 days previously. Knowing that lying to the aged leader was a suicidal move and not believing in lying to him in the first place she just decided to tell him and his guards the truth about what had happened.

"I'm sorry Hokage-sama but I can't do that as I am not sure how he is doing myself."

The ANBU accompanying the Hokage froze at her words briefly before letting a bit of their killer intent (KI) out at the possible answer for what the matron had just said. Sarutobi quickly raised his hand when he felt the KI being emitted by his ANBU and addressed the woman before him.

"O, and why is that?" The sandaime asked in his kind grandfatherly tone but if one listened closely enough they could hear the underlying tone the tone that had earned him his name as the Kami no Shinobi.

"I can't because I kicked him out of the orphanage 2 days ago," Sarutobi's ANBU gasped at those words before releasing an even stronger KI than before but were again stopped by the aged leader when he raised his hand allowing for Kurai to continue her tale, "I kicked him out because of all of the pranks he has been pulling around here and the one he used on me 2 days ago is what caused me to kick him out. I suppose that in my rage I forgot to inform you of this development Hokage sama and for this I am deeply sorry and am willing to accept any punishment that you deem fit."

The aged leader sat quietly for several seconds then finally spoke.

"Itachi, Hebi! I want the both of you to search the Village for Naruto-kun and once you find him to bring him back to my office. I will be observing you through my crystal ball so I will no once you have found him."

"Hai Hokage-sama!" The replied then disappeared.

"As for you Kurai-chan, I hope you are ready to accept any consequences that may befall you if Naruto jun is injured in any way."

"I am Hokage-sama."

"Good, now all we can do is wait." Hiruzen said as he left to return to his office.

With Naruto:

Several hours later Naruto could be seen walking through the clan district of Konoha. He had left Ichiraku's Ramen several hours before and had decided to occupy his time by walking around the village once again. As the day came to its end Naruto decided it was time to return to the tree that he had made his home and that was why he was walking through the clan district at such a late time. Currently Naruto was strolling past the Hyuuga compound before a sound caught his attention originating from the other side of the compound wall. Soon after Naruto heard the sound a man jumped over the compound walls carrying a little girl who was tied and gagged on his shoulder. The man wore a white one strap flak jacket with black shirt, pants, and ninja sandals. On his head he wore a hitiate with a symbol resembling that of a cloud showing that he was a loyal ninja of kumogakure. The Kumo ninja looked around the area and saw Naruto staring at him but he dismissed him and prepared to run away. However Kami had other plans and before he could run off Naruto began yelling at the man.

"Hey! What are you doing with that little girl! Put her down right now and leave!" Naruto yelled at the man both angering him and making him nervous.

The man decided he had to shut the boy up and raised his hand pointing his index finger directly at Naruto.

"Raiton: Raigeki!" The man shouted shooting a bolt of lightning at Naruto who was wondering how this day had turned so bad so fast.

Meanwhile with Weasel:

Weasel was running through the village as he tried to find the blonde Jinchuuriki that he had spent the last 6 hours searching for. Currently he was running past the Hyuuga compound when he felt a buildup of chakra close to his position. He decided to check out what was going on and arrived just in time to see the bolt of lightning seconds away from hitting the blonde he had been searching for. By this point only 1 thought raced through his mind. 'I can't make it to him in time!' Weasel had no choice but to watch as the deadly bolt of lightning streaked through the air at his objective all the while hoping against hope that Naruto could survive the blast so that he could take down his attacker.

Just as the jutsu was about to impact with the boy something amazing happened. The jutsu was suddenly stopped by a gold colored chakra that erupted from the young boy and began to take shape around him. Weasel knew that whatever this was it wasn't the Kyuubi's chakra, the chakra currently seeping out of the boy felt to light to….pure if he had to put a word to it. Whatever the chakra was though Weasel hoped that it wouldn't harm the boy even if he was grateful that it saved his life.

Naruto mindscape:

In his mindscape Deep within Naruto's mind a figure had just been woken from his long sleep. The figure, after several minutes of testing his bodily functions, began to leave his current residency in the shadows of Naruto's mind and made his way towards the large mass of chakra that he recognized as Kyuubi's. As the figure approached the cage one large blood red eye opened and stared down at the figure before speaking in a deep rumbling gravelly voice.

"You should not be here mortal, leave before I crush you like the bug you are."

The figure looked at Kyuubi for several seconds before beginning to chuckle which then turned into full on laughter.

"Come now Kyuubi surely you haven't forgotten about me, although I have to say that you haven't really changed since the last time I saw you."

Kyuubi froze when he heard the voice before he stood from his laying position revealing himself in all of his 9 tailed glory and also allowing the figure to enter the cage.

"It has indeed been a long time…...Ashura."

Ashura looked around the cage for some seconds then began speaking once again. "Indeed Kyuubi indeed, now let's see what we can do about getting your jailer and my descendant to our location ne."

With Naruto: in his mindscape

Naruto had opened his eyes a while ago and spent the entire time starring around the large room that he now found himself in. The large room he now found himself in resembled a sewer with several pipes crisscrossing and leaking some of their contents onto the already water covered floor. As he continued to look around Naruto felt a pulse of chakra come from one direction of the room he was in. He stood there for several seconds not sure what to do until he felt the pulse once again almost as if it was beckoning him towards the source of the pulse. Deciding to follow his instinct Naruto began traveling in the direction that the pulse originated from, wondering the entire time how he had gotten here since the last thing he remembered was closing his eyes right before the lightning jutsu collided with him. After several moments of travel Naruto finally arrived in another large room where a large golden cage stood against the other side of the room where all the pipes and the water on the floor seemed to originate from. While he admired the cage he soon heard laughter coming from behind said cage kind of like it was amused at his reaction, he assumed probably because it was.

After several more seconds of laughter the voice finally regained its composure and began speaking. "Hello young Naruto, it is a pleasure to meet you." Ashura said as he exited the cage and approached the young boy.

Naruto cocked his head sideways while he watched the man approach him.

"Ummm hello to you too. And could you please tell me who you are and where I am, the last thing I remember was closing my eyes before the lightning jutsu hit me."

"yes I suppose I could sate your curiosity a little bit. So to answer your question in a slightly different order. First my name is Ashura, the youngest son of the sage of six paths at your service as well as your ancestor. And secondly we are in your mind or to be more specific your mindscape which is a representation of your mind. The reason you are here though is because I with the help of a friend pulled you in here to talk." Naruto stood in place processing the information that he had just been presented to the best of his abilities. After finally digesting all of the information he spoke to his apparent ancestors.

"So this place," at 'place' Naruto waved his arms around to indicate his mindscape, "is just a part of my mind given form."

"Correct you are my young descendant." Ashura replied.

"Then what did you want to talk to me about, afterall you said that you dragged me in here to talk."

"Indeed it is, but first I would like for you to meet my friend. Hey Kurama come on out!" Soon after Ashura's shout a red eye opened behind the cage. Right afterwards the owner of the eye stepped into the light revealing itself to be a 10 story tall russet red fox with 9 flowing tails.

"Naruto I want you to meet my friend Kurama, or as you know him the Kyuubi no Kitsune."

Said blonde boy stared in shock at the sight before him. Directly in front of him stood the Kyuubi no Kitsune the strongest of the 9 demon lords and the same Kyuubi that had attacked his home village 3 years ago and was supposedly killed by the Yondaime Hokage. But before naruto could allow his thoughts to continue Ashura began to speak once again.

"I know what you're probably thinking Naruto and please allow me to explain before asking any questions, maybe I might answer some of them with my explanation."

Naruto swiveled his head back and forth between the two beings before him until finally sighing and motioning for his ancestor to continue since there was nothing he could do about the current situation.

"Good, I'm glad to see that you are ready to listen. Ok Naruto the reason I and Kurama brought you here is because you awakened your Uzumaki chakra and by extension me when that ninja fired that lightning bolt at you." Ashura stopped for a moment and see if Naruto was still following his explanation and when he received a nod he continued forward. "Currently as you are if the jutsu hits you it will kill you, no ifs and nors, or buts about it, you will be well and truly dead. So what i want to do is give you access to my chakra so you can defend yourself and to merge all of our personalities to an extent. Do you have any questions so far?"

Yea I have a few. How am I going to learn how to use your power. I don't think I will gain your knowledge after the merge will I. As for the other two I want to know what the merge will do and How Kurama is here in the first place."

"Yes good questions all of them. No you will not receive my knowledge after the merge ; however, I will still be present in your mind so that I can teach you how to use my chakra and all of the abilities you will possess with it. Now for your second question the merge will simply mix our personalities a bit meaning you will gain my kind nature and love of pranking, which I see you already have, and a bit of Kurama's blood lust." Ashura said but was suddenly cut off before he could move on to the next question.

"Allow me to answer his last question since it affects the both of us." Kurama told Ashura who nodded his ascent. "Now kit the reason I am here is because the night I attacked your village your Yondaime stopped me but he couldn't kill me because I am a living mass of chakra I would just reform after a little bit of time. So instead he went with the next best option he sealed me into a new born baby. The baby was you. And before you say anything know that he wanted you his only son to be seen as a hero."

Naruto was quiet for several seconds before a tear slid down his cheeks and splashed into the water beneath them.

"I….I understand, please continue Ashura jii san."

"Ok Naruto as you wish, After the merge I will still be around to help you as I said and Kurama will help you learn to control his chakra. As for your Uzumaki chakra we will be bringing someone here that can teach you better than we can. You can't meet them until the next time you enter your mindscape though."

"Ummmm, how do I enter my mindscape again?" Naruto questioned cocking his head to the side.

Ashura face faulted at the question since he had forgotten that he was still only talking to a 3 year old boy.

"Ok once you return to the outside world all you have to do is find a safe and quiet spot that you can rest. What you have to do is meditate and focus on your mind and after a little bit of time you will appear in your mindscape. The more often you do this the quicker it will happen to the point that you appear here almost instantly."

"Thanks for the information oji san!" Naruto replied as he began to disappear.

"And Naruto I gave you a bit of a boost, you can now use my chakra manifestation technique. Figured I would tell you before I forgot."

Seconds later Naruto completely disappeared from his mindscape, but not before giving his ancestor a thumbs up along with cheesy grin.

Ashura starred after the spot where his descendant had been just moments before until finally speaking. "Ok Kurama it's time to get to work."

Soon afterwards a blinding flash of light appeared in front of the cage before dying down revealing a woman with long crimson hair and wearing a white hospital gown.

"What...what? How am I here, where am I?" The woman asked as she looked around. Ashura smiled at the woman before speaking. "Hello Kushina, we have much to talk about."

Outside minds cape:with Naruto

Naruto snapped back to reality and began to draw forth the chakra avatar that Ashura had mentioned at the last second. Almost instantly gold chakra began to erupt from his body stopping the lightning jutsu which was only a second or two away from colliding with him. As the golden chakra continued to seep from his body it began to coalesce into a being around his body. The rest of the village; however, was in turmoil as everyone felt the massive wave of chakra and some of those that remembered that day believed that the Kyuubi had been let loose and was seeking its revenge on the village. While this was going on Hiashi Hyuuga along with his brother Hizashi Hyuuga and wife Hitomi Hyuuga rushed towards the source of the chakra which was residing right outside of their compounds walls. The trio arrived just in time to see the gold chakra finish forming into a miniature buddha statue with several faces each looking in a different direction. As the chakra finished forming the chakra avatar all of the remaining chakra began to coalesce around his face forming half of a fox mask. At this point Hiashi had finally taken note of the kumo ninja along with the little girl on his shoulder that was his daughter Hinata Hyuuga and in a fit of rage prepared to strike down the kumo nin but was stopped by his brother who pointed at Naruto or at least where Naruto used to be.

Naruto had finally regained his senses after releasing the flood of chakra and stared at the ninja before disappearing in a burst of speed similar to the Yondaime's Hiraishin. The kumo ninja didn't have the time to react before he felt a massive pain shoot up the arm that was holding the Hyuuga heiress as Naruto had just broken it in 1 blow with one of the chakra avatars massive arms. As the nin dropped the little girl Naruto caught her in his arms before commanding one of the other arms to swing at the kumo nin who jumped over the first arm but was unable to dodge the second and was sent crashing through the Hyuuga compound walls knocking him unconscious.

All those present were speechless at the sight before them. A child, a 3 year old at that, had just defeated a ninja, most likely of jounin rank, with a technique they had never seen before. Their train of thought was interrupted though as a small 'eeep' was heard coming from the little girl held in the blonde boys arms. Naruto heard the sound coming from his arms and looked down at her as the gold chakra began to recede back into his body.

"Hey there I hope you are doing all right after that big meanie took you." Naruto said before his eyes began to close very slowly as he slumped to his knees then collapsed on top of the girl who eeeped again and also passed out but from the embarrassment instead of exhaustion.

Itachi and the other adults stared at the kids for some seconds before moving towards them and grabbing them. As each group prepared to go their separate ways the Hokage appeared via a shunshin.

"Itachi I want you to take the kids to the hospital since they might have some psychological problems after that experience. Hitomi, you and Hizashi can go with them. Hiashi I need you to head to the council room as I have called a meeting that will happen in 10 minutes time." The aged leader spoke. "Hai Hokage sama!" They all replied.

It took some time but finally Itachi with the help of Hitomi and Hizashi relocated the 2 now sleeping kids to a room in the hospital as they waited for them to wake. Meanwhile in the council room the members of Konoha's council were just beginning to funnel into the room as they waited upon their leader to inform them of what had just occurred.

Naruto's Mindscape:

Naruto had reappeared inside of his minds cape after losing consciousness. Currently he stood opposite the giant golden cage of the Kyuubi as he looked around. As he scanned the room he noticed a figure that had not been present last time he was in his mind and assumed that this person must be who was going to be teaching him how to use his Uzumaki chakra. As the thought ran through his mind said figure rushed him and bowled him over tears streaming from its eyes as it hugged the now confused boy.

"Umm who are you?" Naruto questioned the figure who slightly flinched at his question. Now that Naruto had a better look at the figure Naruto could tell that it was a woman with long crimson hair and wearing a white hospital gown.

Even after the woman had flinched at his question she continued to hug him and cry into his chest for several more seconds until she finally regained enough composure to answer his question in her own way.

"Oh baby I'm so sorry for leaving you but I promise you I won't leave this time so don't worry because Kaa-san is here, Kaa-san is here."

Naruto froze as the words that he had just heard come from the woman mouth when he noticed Ashura step out from behind the Kyuubi's cage.

"Ah I see that you've meet your sensei for your Uzumaki chakra training. Naruto I would like to introduce you to your sensei and mother Uzumaki Namikaze Kushina. Now come on you 2 there is time for mother son bonding later. For now we have much to discuss."
