Gin Shita no Naruto- Naruto of the Silver Tongue

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

Prologue

Today is October 10, just another day. In the grand scheme of things it is utterly insignificant. It importance lies in whom you ask. The mountain peaks of Kumogakure no Sato are buried under the onset of winter. In Iwagakure no Sato the days are becoming colder as winter approaches the lush valleys. The desert expanse of Sunagakure no Sato remains under a sweltering year-round heat. Kirigakure no Sato is just beginning to rebuild after a devastating monsoon season. All of that pales in comparison to Konohagakure no Sato where the 10th of October has a joyous and painful significance.

That is because of October 10th six years ago a great demon attacked the hidden village of Hi no Kuni. A day rent in the blood and sacrifice of many ninja of Konoha including the illustrious Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze. Through his heroic effort the immortal Kyuubi no Yoko, Lord of the Bijuu, strongest of the Nine was defeated sealed by the Shinigami into a newborn child.

A high price was demanded of any who dared summon the Shinigami, one's own life was taken to finish the seal. Doomed to eternal combat in the stomach of the god itself is a horrible fate. The Yondaime deemed the price insignificant compared to the safety of the village he loved. His final wish was for the village he loved to look upon the child that contained the beast as a hero who protected the people from death with all his being. Sadly this was not the case as humans in general fear what they do not understand.

Out of their fear and ignorance they villagers of Konohagakure no Sato demanded that the demon child be dealt with so the Kyuubi could never again harm their land. In desperation the recently reinstated Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen forbade the mention of the burden the child was made to bear under punishment of death. This was in hopes of the child living a normal childhood. Sadly this was not to be, despite being unable to tell their children of the demon they forbade them from interacting with him. Isolating an innocent child for a crime he did not commit.

Thus began the lonely life of Uzumaki Naruto. For the next six years the people of Konoha studiously ignored the blond haired child, all except the Sandaime. That is until today exactly six years to the day of the Kyuubi attack and in more recent years a festival honoring those who died fighting the Kyuubi, a day of fun and drinking to remember comrades. Perhaps a bit too much drinking as this is where our story begins. A story that would change the face of the Elemental Nations forever.

Author's Note:

There are going to be some changes to the back-story. The biggest change is in reference to the Kyuubi and one specific kunoichi. I hope to make this change believable. The personality will also be changed. Each of these changes has a basis in Japanese folklore for Kitsune if you don't like it

I DON'T CARE!!!! This fan fiction is being written because I want to and I will not bow to popular opinion or demands. If you have constructive criticism or a specific request by all means tell me and if I can fit it in I will and be grateful for the input and support.

Naruto will be strong. Again my story my rules. It is feasibly possible if you look at people like Itachi or Kakashi. Or even Naruto in the later chapters. Especially with kage bunshin. MAD HACKS. I mean come on with the number of clones he can make he could feasibly gain near perfect chakra control fairly quickly. And with a competent teacher he could reach far higher levels much younger.

Updates will be sporadic. My apologies.

PLEASE READ AND ENJOY. REVIEWING OPTIONAL BUT APPRECIATED.
