I don't own Naruto
The Red Eyed Mother
Chapter 1
In a village a young boy was just thrown out of the orphanage. This boy has blond hair and a messed up white shirt. He was walking down the street ignoring the glares directed at him when he walks in to someone. The man had black hair and a chunin vest as he looks at the boy who ran into him. "Well if it isn't the little demon" said the man as he strikes the blond boy. The boy gets up and backs up to the wall shaking; the man keeps hitting the boy. More people come up and begin their attack of the boy who appears to be four. The man finally pulls out a Kunai and gets ready to stab the blond when it's knocked away by another kunai. Everyone turns to see a black haired woman with red eyes glaring at them.
"What the hell are you doing to this young child?" she shouted.
None of the men dared to speak until one brave soul decided to speak "we're killing this little demon so you better stay out of our way." he said just for a kunai to pierce his throat.
The women once again glared daggers at the men "anyone else like to break the thirds law?" she asked.
The men then surround her. I want to see you try to take us all on and no one will know after we kill you." said one of the men.
The women just laugh I am sure the Anbu will know just as she said this four Anbu ninjas appeared. "Take these fools to Ibiki. I will take this boy to Lord Hokage." she said. The Anbu knocked out all the civilians that were involved and carried them to the interrogation department.
The women looked at the boy who was recoiled in fright. She walked slowly to the boy then she saw the look of fear in his eyes. Her heart went out to the boy "it's okay I won't hurt you let's go to the Hokage." she said softly. The boy reluctantly took her hand and she shunshined away.
In the Hokage office The Third Hokage who looked about seventy was doing paper work when the women appeared before him with a sleeping boy in her arms. "Kurenai why do you have Naruto, what happened?" asked the third.
The red eyed women now identified as Kurenai looked at the hokage "this boy was almost beaten to death; if I hadn't stepped in he would have died." she said.
The old man looked at Kurenai "where the assailants taken care off?" asked the old man.
The woman nods her head "they have all been taken to Ibiki for questioning." she said.
The hokage sighs "I guess I will take him back to the orphanage," He told her.
Kurenai just sighs "with all due respect Hokage-sama; I don't think that is a good idea," she said.
The Hokage looks surprised "why not Kurenai?" he asked.
The women looks at him "this boy is malnourished; it's obvious that he is not getting the proper care." she said.
"What do you think we should do?" he asked.
Kurenai thinks for a moment "I would like him to live with me and I will train him." said Kurenai.
The third puts his pipe to his mouth and starts to smoke "so what you're saying is your willing to adapt him and have him take your name?" asked Sarutobi.
Kurenai looks at the young boy "I guess I will that way he can at least survive" said Kurenai
The third takes out a form "then you'll have to sign these adaption." said Sarutobi.
Kurenai nods her head. Kurenai takes Naruto to her apartment.

Next morning Naruto wakes up. "Where am I?" asked Naruto who was scared. He looks around and sees that he is in a room on a bed.
The door to the room opens and the women from last night walks in "I see you're up how you feeling?" she asked with concern.
Naruto back away still frightened "I am good who; are you?" he asked still wary of the stranger.
Kurenai smiles my name is Kurenai Yuuhi you can call me mom. I have decided to adapt you how does that sound?" asked Kurenai.
Naruto looks up "really you mean it?" he asks hopefully.
She smiles "I sure do." she said.
Kurenai escorts Naruto down to the kitchen; when Naruto gets there his eyes widen at the food on the table. "I know you didn't have a lot to eat at the orphanage so I made a welcome breakfast for you enjoy." she said. Kurenai watch as Naruto eat the food at a fast rate.
After breakfast Kurenai gets up "Naruto I want you to meet some friends of mine" she said. They left the house and went to training field 10 on the training field where three adults. One had a black beard and a red sash. The other had a green spandex the third had a trench coat with a very reveling mesh shirt. The three saw Kurenai.
The one with the sash spoke first "Kurenai is this your adaptive son?" said the man. "Yes Asuma this is Naruto.
Naruto meet my friends Asuma, Might Gai and Anko." Naruto walks up behind Kurenai and looks at the three ninjas. "Hi" he say weakly still frighten of the three.
The three shinobi's each had different thought on him "What has this boy gone through? It looks like my father was right about this boy's abuse." thought Asuma.
"This boy flame of youth is dimed but not extinguished" thought Gai.
This boy know hurt just like me" thought Anko as she put her hand on the back of her neck.
Asuma spoke first "so why did you bring us together?" he asked.
Kurenai looked at the three "I talked to Naruto this morning and he told me that he would like to be a ninja of the leaf. But since he doesn't have a family to teach him I thought that you three along with myself would be able to help him along." said Kurenai.
The three were speechless. I would be honored to increase his flames of youth. You can count me in." said Gai.
"Kurenai you should know I owe you for your support after what happened with my sensei. I will train him." said Anko smiling.
Everyone looks at Asuma waiting for his answer "I don't have much to teach but I can teach him how to formulate some strategies and how to use Taijutsu. I will help your son." said the breaded man.
"We'll start tomorrow with Guy so he can help Naruto with Taijutsu. He will train with Gai from 8:00 am to 10:00; from 10:00 to 12:00 he will train with Asuma to reinforce his Taijutsu lessons and strategy. Then he will have a two hour break from 12:00 to 2:00 to study in my house with my library. Next I will train him in genjutsu from 2:00 to 4:00 then Anko will finish it off with chakra control and ninjutsu at 4:00 to 6:00." said Kurenai The three walk away after hearing the training schedule. Kurenai turns to Naruto let go get some stuff for your training." she said.
They enter a shop and see a man ringing up a customer the man was bald with grey shirts and black pants. The customer and man look at Kurenai. The customer glare was hateful while to shopkeepers face was neutral. Well if it isn't the little demon said the customer as he walked to Naruto and was about to strike him when Kurenai caught his arm. "I would refrain from hitting my son if I were you." She said with a glare.
The man snorts "as if anyone would love a demon." said the customer.
The shopkeeper grabbed a Kunai as did Kurenai and they each put it up to the man's neck.
Make one move to Kurenai-san or this boy and you will die; get out of my store." said the shopkeeper with a voice that promised pain if he did not compile. Kurenai looked at the man in shock.
The man left immediately as the shopkeeper put his kunai away and smiled at Kurenai "what can I help you with Kurenai?" he asked with a smile.
Kurenai put her kunai away as well "I would like to buy some stuff for my son Naruto's training if that is okay with you Mishimuro?" asked Kurenai.
The man looks at Kurenai "you know I am not like the rest of those jackasses in the village. By the way I need to talk to you. Naruto I would like you to look around and see what you like I need to talk to your mother." said the owner.
Naruto looks at Kurenai and she nods her head. Naruto walks away while Kurenai turns her head to the man "so that's the jailer of the Kyuubi I assume by the way that man talked?" asked the owner.
Kurenai nods her head "he is but he is not the demon." She said.
Mishimuro nods his head in agreement "that boy is a hero and I have to admire the way he can still smile after the crap he's been through. He is welcome in my store whenever I am here." said the man.
"Thank you." said Kurenai.
The man wave's it off "don't worry it's a promise I made to someone to help him when he comes in. But I can't tell you who it is because it could hurt him." said the man. Kurenai nods her head in understanding.
After they finished talking the man they find Naruto looking at some books. The man walks up to Naruto looks down at the book "Stealth for dummies how to strike unaware." He thought to himself "so tell me Naruto did you find anything that peaks your interest?" he asked.
Naruto looks at the man and looks at the book in his hand "I found this book and thought it was interesting. The man nods his head "you picked a decent topic but might be to advance for you right now. The thing you have to learn first is how to form and gather chakra. From there you can learn ninjutsu that might help with this topic. You also need weapons and better clothing then that orange jumpsuit." said the man chuckling little when he saw Naruto glare at him.
"Let's get you ready to make good impressions on you sensei's said the man as he and Naruto walk to the clothing section. After trying on numerous outfits Naruto picked out a black shirt, Black pants with arm guards. He wore a red belt and several pouches for weapons.
Kurenai came back with shurikens and kunai as well as senbons. "I think all we need now is weight for Taijutsu training." said Kurenai.
The man went to the back and came back with four weights. He then explained how they worked "All you do is put a little chakra and the weights will get heavy depending on how much you store in the weights. To deactivate them you simply release it like a genjutsu." said the man. "For you though I would recommend Kurenai set it up until you master some chakra control exercise." said the man. Kurenai buys the stuff and walks out with Naruto.
Next day they go to training ground 12 and see Guy getting ready for the training. Guy turns around and smiles his white teeth showing. "Kurenai good to see you; is Naruto ready for training in the flames of youth." said Guy.
Naruto backs up slowly to get away from Gai. "It's alright Naruto he maybe weird but he is the strongest in Taijutsu so you will learn lots from him." said Kurenai.
Kurenai turns to him "make sure my son is safe or else. You are his body guard and trainer understood Gai?" asked the Kurenai.
Gai nods his head "right Kurenai" said the man.
Kurenai leaves to prepare for her training with Naruto. "Naruto I would like you to put your weights on so we can increase you speed and strength." said Gai.
Naruto puts on the weight bands on his legs and arms and Gai put a little chakra on them increasing them to 10 pound apiece. Naruto tries to move but can barely move.
"Naruto I want you try to get used to the weights before doing anything else." said Gai. "Try walking or running ten laps around the field by then you should be able to walk easily." said Gai. Naruto starts to walks around the field getting faster with every passing lap around the fifth lap he is jogging lightly around the ninth lap he is running.
He completes the laps in 1 hour. "Well done Naruto you completed the ten laps in 1hours I want you to try to complete it faster next time to challenge yourself. Take a two minute breather then do 100 pushups, 100 squats and 100 jumping jacks." Said Gai
Naruto starts his pushups after the two minute break he finishes in 45 minutes. Gai sits him down after words "for the next fifteen minutes I want you to do cool down exercises which mean two laps followed by twenty of everything you've done just slower so you muscles can relax a little but still get stronger. After that we'll meet with Asuma." said Gai. After about ten minutes Naruto finishes the cool down and relaxes for the five minutes. Gai takes him to see Asuma at training ground 7 running there to increase his speed further.
At training ground 7 Asuma is standing there smoking when he turns around and sees a tired Naruto walking up with Gai. "I see it's my turn thanks for bringing him Gai I will take over his training." said Asuma.
Gai does his good guy pose and runs back to train further by himself. "Alright today I am going to teach you how to play shogi to learn how to use strategy in battle." said Asuma.
Naruto looks confused "what does that going to do too help me become a better ninja?" asked Naruto.
Asuma still smoking chuckles "Let me put it this way. What do you do if you faced with three ninja's that are stronger then you? No escape route and you have a squad coming to help you out. How are you going to stay alive until they get there?" asked Asuma.
Naruto thinks for a moment "that is where strategy will help you out. You can try to isolated them and take them out one on one or you can fight a stalling battle until help comes. Those are two options you have; now do you see were strategy helps out greatly?" he asked
Naruto smiles and nods his head "Hai sensei" said Naruto.
Asuma first goes over the rules of the game and teaches him special moves that will help him both in Shogi and battle. Next they play several times the first time Naruto losses in five turn but gets better as the games go on. Around the tenth game Naruto manages to make Asuma sweat and manages to corner his main piece several times but still loses.
Asuma stops the games and gets up from the table "good job Naruto you're getting the hang of the game and almost beat me the last two times. We'll keep playing when we train but we'll also go into Taijutsu after we play two games tomorrow." said Asuma.
Naruto bow his head "thank you sensei" says Naruto as he and Asuma head to Kurenai's house.
They get to Kurenai's house with two minutes to spare. She opens the door and asks them to come in. Kurenai takes Naruto to her library and asks him to pick a subject to read.
"I would like to read about barriers so I can break them to help my comrades." said Naruto.
Kurenai looks at Naruto with a questioning glaze "why are you interested in that subject?" she asked.
Naruto looks down "Asuma-sensei said something about it when we were going over strategy and tactics as a way to keep a retreat from happening if you're winning." said Naruto.
Kurenai looks at the selves of books "I have one book that might help. Here you go." Said Kurenai as she hands him a book on Barriers "it's for beginners but it might help you to get started" she finished. Naruto takes the book and starts to read "I will give you two hours to read what you can before my training." She said.
One hour into reading Kurenai brings up some food for Naruto. "How far are you?" asked Kurenai as she looks at the book that Naruto was reading and noticed that he was half done with the book.
Kurenai looks amazed at his progress "You are half way though. If you finish this today I will ask the Hokage to see if he has any other books on the subject." said Kurenai. Naruto smiles "Hai mom thank you" said Naruto as he finishes his lunch and continues to read.
After the hour is up Kurenai comes back "alright Naruto when I am training you; you will call me sensei understood" asked Kurenai. Naruto nods his head "hai Sensei" he said.
They go into the back as Kurenai starts to get things ready for her lesson. "For today's lesson I am going over how to form and control chakra. To bring up Chakra find the chakra and bring it out like me." Kurenai demonstrated as she gathers chakra and it became visible. "Now you try." She said.
Naruto start to concentrate and is able to bring out half of what Kurenai did. Kurenai nods her head "very good you are doing good." said Kurenai as she is amazed. "Naruto easily has more chakra then anyone his age. It might be from the fox." She thought to herself. After about thirty more minutes Kurenai stop Naruto "Naruto I am going to tell you about genjutsu and how to block it so listen up." said Kurenai.
Naruto pays attention "Genjutsu attacks the senses but the best way to avoid falling for it is release your chakra around you. Use this hand sign and say kai and release your chakra." said Kurenai.
"Hai sensei" said Naruto.
The other way is to hurt yourself so the pain is the first to register." She said Kurenai goes though some hand signs "I'm going to use a D rank genjutsu and I want you to break It." said Kurenai.
"Hai" he says as Kurenai disappears from view Naruto tries to release the genjutsu but gets it after the third attempt. "Kai" said Naruto as he finally releases the jutsu panting.
Kurenai reappears and is smiling "good job Naruto not many can release it on their third attempt." said Kurenai. For the rest of the day Kurenai puts Naruto under several genjutsu and has him break it. He can break some low C rank genjutsu but nothing higher until his control is better. He can release some B rank with pain. Kurenai walks with Naruto to the entrance of training ground of 44 to meet Anko.
They get to training ground 44 and see Anko eating dangos. Anko turns and sees Kurenai and Naruto. So you ready to train Gaki?" asked Anko.
Naruto glares at her "I have a name you know." He said. Anko just laughs a little "just joking. So you ready to train Naruto?" Anko asks.
Naruto bow his head "Hai sensei" Naruto said showing respect. Kurenai turns to Anko "go easy on him for the first few days. I want him back in one piece." She said.
Anko smiles "don't worry I won't scar him to bad" Anko said giving Kurenai a devious smile. Kurenai walks to Naruto and hugs him "good luck Naruto." said Kurenai.
She then walks away. Naruto turns to Anko "alright you're going to learn how to climb tree using your feet," said Anko. Naruto looks at Anko with a curious glance. Anko shows him by climbing up the tree; she then reaches the top and hangs upside down. Anko take out a kunai and throw it in front of Naruto. "Use that Kunai to mark how far you got before falling." said Anko. "Gather chakra in your feet." she said. Naruto gather chakra in his feet and runs up two steps but falls back down. Naruto runs up again and get ten steps and marks his progress.
He continues until he hit the hour and a half mark and he made it up two thirds. Anko watches at the boy's progress after ten more minutes Naruto manages to make it up all the way. Anko goes underneath his tree. "Alright I want you to climb down the same ways and then go back up several times to master the exercise." said Anko.
Naruto goes down and then runs back up increasing his chakra control until time is up. "Well done Gaki. You got the tree walking down faster than most. Tomorrow we'll do the water walking in increase you chakra control further." said Anko. Naruto bow his head "thank you sensei," he said. After the training they go back to Kurenai's house so Anko can give her a progress report.
