Part 1 Prologue

Ever since Naruto was born he's been hated for years he was attacked by the villagers he was even beaten in the orphanage. He had no idea why he was hated he knew they called him a demon but he didn't understand what they meant he wasn't a demon he was a boy.

Naruto had no real friend Hiruzen tried to look after him but being the Hokage he couldn't look after him all the time the Ichiraku's were nice to him knowing he wasn't a demon but a scared little boy.

Hiruzen decided to keep a closer eye on Naruto and his ANBU reported that Naruto was very stealthy and very quick for someone of his age.

So the day he turned six Hiruzen brought Naruto to his home and decided to teach Naruto about being a ninja his ANBU had watched Naruto and he would watch people and try and copy them.

Of course, Hiruzen couldn't show favor to anyone so he also had a few other people train Naruto Maito Guy trained him in Taijutsu and he quickly took to it.

Kakashi a member of ANBU also taught Naruto he taught him Ninjutsu, Hiruzen's son Asuma found out Naruto was a wind user and being the only other in the Village he taught him some Wind Techniques.

Naruto joined the academy the day after he turned six with Kakashi and Yūgao watching him. They quickly noticed that the teachers were neglecting him and he was by far better than everyone.

They continued to watch for over a year but it continued that way so then they informed Hiruzen he was angry and spoke to one of the academy teachers called Iruka Umino.

Iruka was the only teacher that didn't treat Naruto badly and he even noticed he far surpassed his fellow academy students.

Iruka informed Naruto that he would take the Genin test early and told him what he would need to do.

Naruto worked on what he needed but found a problem with his clones he first showed Iruka who was puzzled and told Naruto to show Hiruzen.

When he did Hiruzen immediately knew what was wrong he told Naruto it was because of his extra Chakra it was messing up his Chakra coils.

When Naruto asked how that could have happened Hiruzen told him the truth about him.

Naruto was sad and slightly angry when he found out it finally made sense why he was hated he did surprise Hiruzen by telling him that he doesn't blame the villagers because there scared and it was blinding them to the truth.

Hiruzen was proud of Naruto for a Seven-year-old he was so mature this was because of Yūgao who as well as teaching him about Kenjutsu also helped Naruto with his people skills as well as Hiruzen.

Naruto saw Yūgao as a big sister figure she liked that and treated him as a little brother.

Iruka found out that Naruto was never taught how to read and write in the orphanage so told Hiruzen and his wife taught Naruto how to read and write he took to it easily.

Naruto loved her like a grandma and she loved him like a grandson just like Hiruzen loved Naruto like a grandson.

Hiruzen decided to teach Naruto a forbidden Jutsu the Jutsu was called the Kage Bunshin No Jutsu Shadow Clone Technique the clone Jutsu was perfect for Naruto. Naruto learned it pretty quick and when Kakashi saw Naruto training with the Kage Bunshin clones he was shocked to see Naruto bringing out over 500 clones.

After that problem with the clones, everything was not a problem he passed the Genin exam with flying colors. That was his first step he became a Genin he was the best in the class and his teammates were average really. Naruto didn't let his ego get the better of him and he trained with his squad his Sensei was Aoba Yamashiro. Aoba didn't treat Naruto any different than any other kid.

A few months after becoming a genin his team took part in the Chūnin exams his team easily passed the first test the second test was harder but they passed. The third test was quite interesting but Naruto ended up winning the third test beating his teammate in the last round.

Naruto was now Seven and a half and was already a Chūnin. He and his team continued working together unfortunately on one of their missions the girl of their team was badly injured. Naruto thought off the bandits with his clones whilst his remaining teammate carried their injured teammate back. When Naruto returned he found she was badly poisoned and the poison had spread and she lost her left leg ending her ninja career.

A year later Naruto took the Jōnin exams with his remaining teammate. Naruto became a Jōnin his teammate wasn't so lucky.

Naruto stayed as a Jōnin for a while until he joined ANBU. He was in a team with Kakashi, Yūgao, and Anko.

He knew Kakashi and Yūgao, of course, he quickly realized that Anko was just crazy she seemed to enjoy causing pain but she was still a good ninja when she wanted to be.

Naruto didn't notice this but although Anko was 10 years older then her she had a crush on him.

Only Yūgao knew but being the big sister figure she always protected Naruto from her.

Anko would always pout until Yūgao would glare at her until she'd leave Naruto alone. Not that she ever did.

Naruto enjoyed his new life he had a nice life he wore his mask more often than not. He visited Ichiraku's and they were the only people who knew who Naruto was under the mask.

It was during this time that Naruto first saw two girls arguing one had long Pink hair the other had long blond hair with bangs covering one of her eyes.

Naruto listens to them he hears the blond call the pink haired girl forehead the pink haired girl calls the blond Ino-Pig Naruto smirks So the blond's Ino a pretty name the pink haired girl's pretty also.

Naruto then stands up and walks past them they both stop arguing and look at Naruto puzzled why an ANBU would be so small.

They then see another ANBU turn up in a brown trench coat and she wraps her arms around the small ANBU.

They hear the ANBU who's obviously drunk talking to the blond ANBU so they listen for some weird reason.

Anko grins "Finally found you come on let's go and have a drink."

The two girls then hear the reply and are shocked. Naruto sighs "I'm nine years old Snake."

Anko grins "Oh come on Sake isn't that bad you might like it Foxy your just playing hard to get I know you want to."

The two girls watch as Naruto breaks out of Anko's grip and Shunshin's to the roof. They watch Anko who chuckles as she starts chasing him.

The two girls look at each other completely forgetting about their earlier argument.

Naruto jumps from building to building with Anko chasing after him. He looks over his shoulder and sees she's gaining on him.

He grins behind his mask and does some handsigns "Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu" 50 clones of Naruto appear and split up going in all different directions.

Anko at first stops then she grins and summons several snakes to chase the clones. She then keeps going chasing after one she thinks is the real one.

Naruto keeps running and looks over his shoulder and groans when he sees Anko gaining on him.

Dammit, she's persistent he keeps going with Anko not far behind he reaches the ANBU base and finds Yugao training.

Yūgao looks up when she sees Naruto running to her then sees Anko chasing him and groans. Naruto stops behind her "She's trying to get me to drink."

Yūgao sighs "Stop Anko leave Naruto alone I've warned you he's only nine years old."

Anko stops and grins "Oh come on one drink won't hurt."

Yūgao rolls her eyes "Anko, you don't know the meaning of the word one drink."

Anko pouts "Spoil sport."

Yūgao rolls her eyes "Go and find Kurenai to drink with you leave little Foxy-Kun alone."

Anko grins "Oh I see what this is you want him for yourself."

Yūgao rolls her eyes "He's like a little brother now leave him alone."

Anko stamps her foot like a little girl "Your no fun." She looks at Naruto "Nice try with the clones."

Naruto shrugs and Anko leaves. Yūgao then turns to Naruto "You want to train Naruto-Kun."

He shrugs "OK let me go and get my swords."

Naruto runs off and Yūgao grins "You can't keep running to me everytime that crazy Snake comes after you."

She hears a chuckle and turns around and sees Kakashi "Yo."

She nods "Kakashi-San."

He nods "She's still after him huh."

She rolls her eyes "She thinks he's cute I would have thought she would have gotten over Naruto-Kun by now."

Kakashi smiles "Well you know Anko she's crazy."

Just the Naruto comes back "Hey Kakashi-San still reading that book."

Kakashi gives Naruto an eye smile "Well, of course, my little fox maybe I should let you read it."

Yūgao sticks her Katana at Kakashi's throat "No way will you do that to Naruto-Kun and If I see you attempting it you will lose your little friend."

Naruto chuckles and Kakashi gulps and covers his privates "OK, OK, I won't jeez Yūgao your so overprotective of the little fox."

Yūgao nods "Someone has to be we've got a crazy snake lady who wants to get Naruto-Kun drunk and who knows what else...

Before she can continue she heard "How sweet, sex Cat-Chan, and he'll love it."

Yūgao growls "Go away Anko."

Anko pout's again "Oh man your no fun I'll catch you later Foxy-Kun."

She jumps away and Yūgao turns to Kakashi "Then there's you who constantly wants him to read those vile perverted books."

Naruto nods "Yea your both insane."

Kakashi shrugs "So what you up to Little Fox how is your training coming along."

Naruto shrugs "Have a few Jutsu's now but I'll surpass you someday and I won't copy them either."

Kakashi smirks "I look forward to it well I'm off you two have fun and Yūgao try not to overdo it like you said he's only nine the last time you trained him he couldn't move the day later."

Naruto nods "Oh yea I forgot about that."

Yūgao smiles "Just preparing my little Otouto for the life ahead so what did you do before the Snake found ya."

Naruto smirks "I saw these two pretty girls it was funny they have funny nicknames for each other Forehead and Ino-Pig it was funny."

Kakashi grins "Finding love already Foxy-Kun, good, Little Fox I knew you had it in you."

Naruto blushes "I'm not in love."

Kakashi gives him an eye smile the vanishes whilst Yūgao looks at Naruto So little Naruto-Kun likes two girls jeez thinking about girls at his age well at least there probably better then that crazy Anko I pity her next victim "Well Naruto-Kun let's get started."

Naruto nods "I'm going to beat you today Believe it."

She chuckles "We shall see Naruto-Kun."
