Naruto: Cursed Fruit Madness

disclaimer: i don't own Naruto or the cursed fruit of One Piece (the original version of this fic got a nasty review about that part because the person didn't read the whole disclaimer).

Prologue

Naruto had just pulled off the best prank in his life (which wasn't saying much at the time as he was only four), and was hiding in the woods just outside Konoha. Sitting in a tree, he plucked one of the many fruits hanging near by and ate it.

Now, we all know where this is going, and if he had gone to preschool that day, he would have known a few things about the tree he sat in. For example, the fruits hanging from it granted different powers at the cost of never being able to swim ever again.

After a few hours of sitting there doing nothing, he decided it was safe to go home. Standing up to go, he slipped from the branch. Grabbing it as it flew past, he was shocked to see his arm stretch.

When he got home, he started researching the tree in the few picture-books he had. For the next few weeks, he secretly trained with his new powers and ate another fruit. No one knew what happened that day or what he could do. He may have been stupid, but he would never be stupid enough to show off his ace in the hole.

His life would continue like this for two more years, for, at the age of six, he would learn of his new curse. And his old seal.

To be continued...

yes, this is a rewrite of the original. This is a massive overhaul including, but not limited to, trimming out a few things, reducing the power of some characters, and actually explaining, in detail, why Sasuke doesn't want Itachi dead.
