I remember everything that has happened to me from when I was born to the present day. I remember coming out of my mother's womb, I remember having the Kyuubi sealed into me, I remember all the attempts on my life, I remember everything...Not that it's put me down.

If you somehow can't realise when reading the story that this is told from the perspective of the characters in their later life (though this can change on any chapter that I feel like), now you know, this is narrated by Naruto's as it is his childhood he is talking about until we reach when they graduate. Thank you. Also I know some of the things below were never in canon, so please don't point that out. And if this chapter progresses too fast for you, then I'm sorry.

From the first day that I realised who my parents were, when I was 6 years old, I strove to become a better shinobi than the both of them combined. I learned that the main skill they had in common was fuinjutsu, the study of seals, infact, my father was a master of the space-time fuinjutsu enabling him to teleport anywhere he had the correct seal instantly, he famously used this to destroy an entire battalion of Iwa-nin at the Battle of Kannabi Bridge, an act which condemned him as the devil incarnate as this act devastated the families of the shinobi in the battalion, this also earned him the moniker, the Yellow Flash. My mother was more into barrier seals, which made walls of chakra which were incredibly hard to break through and could be customised to inflict pain on the aggressor. She was also very into the art of kenjutsu, which was a common art alongside fuinjutsu in the Uzumaki Clan, earning her the title Red Death for her aggressive and efficient style of kenjutsu that killed many of Konoha's enemies in the 3rd Shinobi World War.

So of course I would try and learn these two arts though at that point it would be impossible to get a sword due to the Kyuubi being inside of me, it would seem suspicious for the Demon Child to get a sword now wouldn't it. Ink and paper were two of things he could actually buy without them being in bad condition or overcharged for Konoha has lots of trees and there were lots of squids in the ocean that was on Hi no Kuni's eastern side meaning that there was a massive surplus of the goods.

I managed to ask Jiji if he had any books on fuinjutsu, he was a bit surprised by the question, after all, a 6 tear old wanting to learn seals was a bit bizarre especially if that 6 year old was more hyperactive than somebody on drugs, not to mention he was probably suspicious of if I knew about my parents, which I wasn't supposed to, but he gave me a book written by my father, the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze. It was entitled 'The Basic Principles of Fuinjutsu and their Application and use for a Shinobi'. A rather long and complex title, I know, but was actually very easy to read the contents inside. Learning the seal was the hard part of the art, especially if they were the basics as while you the instructions right infront of you, the amount of chakra you would have to put into the seal and the actual writing of the seal would have be rather precise, otherwise it could blow up in your face, send you to some bleak part of the world or suck into a pocket dimension, to name a few.

I found I was a natural prodigy at the art, I inherited the skills from my parents after all. The first seal in the book was the storage seal, in which we keep objects in a small pocket dimension connect by the seal to be unsealed at later point, this seal was a great space-saver as I would later find out. It took me about an hour to get the hang of it, resulting in me shouting my signature "Yatta!", even if some random things got lost forever and the seal exploding on two occasions, probably alerting any neighbours I might have had that something was going on in my apartment, probably alerting someone as I swear there was an ANBU with a dog mask looking at me carefully.

I progressed at progressively quicker rates over the 6 years after the I first practiced fuinjutsu. I kept on acting like a total retard during that time so I could be away from too much suspicion, all the while practising fuinjutsu at home as well as chakra control exercises that my father mentioned in his books to help people with controlling the amount of chakra they would put into the seal to help me control my chakra better so I could actually create successful bunshin. I eventually achieved that and started work on a jutsu who's instructions I had found in a bin in the Academy, Fūton: Reppūshō, it was called and was a C-Rank jutsu, why it was in the Academy bins, I have little idea to this day as the curriculum at the time didn't teach elemental jutsu of any kind, I can only imagine that one of the pupils had learned the jutsu, realised that they still had it and got rid of it.

I found out when I learned that jutsu that not only was I a prodigy of fuinjutsu but also of Fūton jutsu, later finding out why during my career, as it blew down several trees in the direction I fired it in when I first gave it a good. I quickly fled the scene, just in case, and ran back into my apartment were I got back to practising the great art of fuinjutsu.

A couple of weeks after that event was the examination day, where Genin hopefuls were tested to see if they truly had what it takes to be a shinobi. I was the last person to be called to be called out for the test after the written exam and the kunai and shurikenjutsu test, both of which went something like this: "Naruto, you passed, barely, but you passed nonetheless".

" Yatta!, that's another step forward on the path to being Hokage!".

I was acting of course, I had to act, but I legitimately wanted to be the Hokage, what number didn't matter, I just wanted the position. The final test was a tested of three different jutsu: Kawarimi, Henge and Bunshin. I knew I was capable but the nervousness remained, after all, if I got this wrong then I would be back in the Academy, becoming more of a laughing stock than I already was. "The minimum requirements have been met, well done Naruto, you pass".

I was so glad to hear Iruka-sensei say this but when I took a glance at Mizuki, I could see poorly hidden anger meaning that he was not happy that I passed, I knew then I had to tip off Jiji about this. You may find this hard to believe but I have only ever successfully lied once in my life, so far at least, so if I told him this then he would know something was up with Mizuki. I ran directly to the Hokage Tower as soon as we were dismissed, ignoring the crowd of people in the Academy grounds or on their way to the Academy, ignoring the comments they made and ran right past the receptionist, who didn't give a shit, and straight up to the door where I was confronted by a frog-masked ANBU, "Hokage-sama is busy right now, is there something urgent for you to tell him?", he asked a pleasant monotone voice.

" Yes, I noticed anger on the face of Mizuki'-sensei' when I passed my exams which could mean that he was planning something to do with me", I answered back, in an official manner, well as official as I could manage back then.

"I see", the ANBU said, his tone darkening, "I will pass this on to Hokage-sama immediately, please wait here".

About 3 minutes passed until that same ANBU returned and said, "Hokage-sama has acknowledged this and has sent out two of my fellow ANBU to arrest him, he also wants to congratulate you on your graduation and has apologised for not being able to say this in person, he currently addressing the issue of Jonin-sensei assignments. You may return to your home now".

" Thank you", I acknowledged that last statement and walked off though I could've sworn that the ANBU said something along the lines of "Nice kid".

The lack of Mizuki at the graduation ceremony made me happy, he had been arrested, or killed in the attempt, and was off to the infamous Torture and Interrogation Department of the Konoha Shinobi. Iruka-sensei looked slightly saddened which was more evidence that Mizuki was gone. 'Good, that's one less dickhead that we have to deal with', I remember thinking.

" Alright, settle down people, settle down!", Iruka shouted, it was obvious that he was not in the mood for nonsense today, less than normal at least, "Alright here are the teams, Team 1...", I phased him out until my name was mentioned, "Team 7: Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Harunoand Sasuke Uchiha under Jonin Kakashi Hatake".

'Say what?!, I got those two on my team, damn it! And Kakashi Hatake, why the hell does that name sound familiar?!'.

They obviously had similar reactions.

As you can see I am not dead, I've just been dormant for a while.

School, writer's block and video games got in my way but I'm back and feeling good but I do not need to be fed.

Like stated in the earlier writers block, this story will be told by older version of these characters, for the most part. As such it may go a bit fast sometimes.
