Chapter 1 The Forbidden scroll

I will strive

Summary Mizuki attempts to get the scroll early the result of Naruto's involvements could never have been imagined. Nor could they have imagined what Naruto would find inside that scroll.

Helltanz's note's: as usual this is definitely an Alternate Universe story, especially Naruto's personality and relationship with his tenant the nine tailed fox. Also warning swearing at the beginning of the chapter.

This is the rewritten version of the first chapter of the story.

Six years after the Kyubi attacked

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, Forest

Konohagakure, the village hidden in the leaves was amongst the most prosperous villages in all the elemental nations and recognized as the strongest amongst the Hidden villages of the Shinobi.

Yes the village was one whose population comprised of actual ninja, of course as far as ninja went the village was a tad coddling in the upbringing of the next generation.

However Konoha also had a number of dark secrets and amongst those was a small blonde offspring of the fourth Hokage, a boy named Naruto.

The small form of Uzumaki Naruto poured over the contents of a large scroll slowly he spoke to himself aloud. It was by far the largest jutsu scroll the six year old had ever seen to the point of it being ridiculous, probably why it was for the test.

"Alright lets see Mizuki said that to pass this years early graduation test I have to master one technique from this scroll and point will be deducted if I am spotted, damn guess I should have been more careful." Grumbled the Ninja in training as he recalled the events in the tower from where he had gotten the scroll. "Hell I wouldn't have believed Mizuki if Oji-san," Of course the Hokage had been referring to an actual legitimate method of becoming a shinobi early. "himself hadn't told me about the early exam himself, and now as planned to copy the scroll for future use." Murmured the blond whipping out the materials needed namely smaller scrolls and a brush and ink.

'Yes I have to agree kit he never did seem right.' Thought the Kyubi, the massive nine tailed fox demon, who was sealed with in the child's navel six years previously by the Fourth Hokage, who was as things happened to be Naruto's father. The blond first read over the scrolls first few items before he began to copy.

Naruto called out the name of every couple of jutsus as he finished copying them "Kage Bunshin check… Omote and Ura Renge done… Ten no Juin and Bunke Juin… Rasengan and Hiraishin." Some time later 'This is cool Forced Kekai Genkai Generation.' Naruto thought as he surveyed the forbidden technique with interest.

The Kyubi did not immediately respond to the announcement, 'Kit lets do this one and then finish copying. Be advised that this will hurt like fuck since I will be helping, since I being the ingenious demon I am,' Naruto waited patiently for the Kyubi to finish he heaping amounts of self praise, 'and I have witnessed countless Kekai Genkai throughout my life time.'

He didn't respond to the Kitsune's ego vocally knowing it wouldn't do any good. Naruto slowly replicated the seals needed to use the jutsu.

'Oh shit this hurts like hell' thought the blonde as he completed the forbidden technique, which really was not of any surprise considering his body had been changed down to the very chromosomes of his DNA.

Unfortunately as far as things went the complicated, at from the stand point of what the jutsu did, forbidden, and highly chakra intensive usually requiring multiple people, technique wasn't really meant to be used on someone who had a bloodline limit already or had a demon in their belly.

'Stop bitching,' Kyubi hissed, 'and finish and then learn that first jutsu it's useful, especially for training.' Snarled the biju as he too felt the pain, it being the effect of the seal.

'Really?' inquired the young blonde.

The demon fox growled irritably, 'Yes really' responded the Kyubi annoyed at being questioned.

Naruto slumped over, though immediately wished he hadn't as his back hit one of the trees, Konoha was called Hidden Leaf for a reason. "Yowwwww! Fuck… still sore… from… jutsu. However must learn new jutsu to grow stronger and become strongest shinobi of all… Kage Bunshin " he murmured

With the completion of the artificial kekai genkai jutsu well new doors opened up for one Naruto Uzumaki and old ones closed.

The fact of the matter was Naruto had taken the first step to creating his own legend, a path which would be fraught with blood.

Naruto tapped his foot for an exam this thing was really late, I mean seriously students came late to school but the teacher really that was a bad example, he mused. Not that it really mattered he was ready.

After all Sandaime 'oji-san' Hokage Sarutobi had gotten him started on the basics of the ninja arts, including basic sealing and jutsu. In regards to sealing that was where he had stored his copy of the scroll.

Iruka jumped down from the trees. "There you are Naruto!" the Chunin instructor yelled in relief as he found his wayward young student.

"Hey Iruka I'll show you this awesome technique, which is super useful for training apparently," Naruto remarked, "and I can pass the test to become a genin early, 'Kay." He stated pleased with his progress.

"Who gave you that idea?" inquired Iruka curiosly, something was suspicious, sure their was an early exam, but still Naruto was good but not nearly ready to be a shinobi yet, at least in his opinion.

"Mizuki-sensei told me that this was this years early exam." Explained the young blonde to his chunin teacher.

Suddenly a Fuuma shuriken slammed into Iruka's back. "Hand over the scroll Naruto." Demanded the silver haired chunin dropping down from another.

"No don't do it Naruto Mizuki only wants the scroll to betray the village Mizuki tricked you." Shouted Iruka, still in a great deal of pain, as he extracted the absurdly large shuriken from his back side.

"Tell me Naruto did you ever wonder why everyone in the village hates you and sends you such cold glares. Its because-" began Mizuki before being interrupted by the senior instructor of the academy.

"No Mizuki it's forbidden the law." He shouted.

Naruto perked up secrets were the lifeblood of ninja if Mizuki was gonna share he wasn't going to stop him. "What's forbidden what law?" inquired Naruto curiously, interested on exactly what was the point of a law that was against the law.

"You are the nine tailed fox that killed Iruka's parents." Shouted Mizuki with glee

"No your not," Iruka protested painfully "Naruto you are Uzumaki Naruto, my friend and favorite student."

Oh that law, "Thanks sensei. Actually your incorrect Mizuki I am not the Kyubi," Really did he look like a giant hundred meter tall red fox with nine tails, hell he diddn't even have one tail for that matter. "Iruka is correct about that I thought you were going to tell me some thing that I did not already know." Stated the blonde "Now suffer your punishment for breaking Sandaime-sensei's law. Ninpou: Taju Kage Bunshin."

Naruto was many things but when it came to practical studies like fighting or really anything that he could use to get away things he was not someone to play around with.

"Sandaime sensei?" murmured the two journey men ninja in surprising unison.

One thousand Naruto flood the clearing in a plume of smoke...

Naruto and his clones all made a set of hand seals at jonin level of speed. "Doton: Tsuchi Ryu Endan." One thousand A-class rock jutsu struck the traitorous chunin instructor simultaneously.

"That was awesome Naruto now close your eyes." Iruka ties his own Hite-ate around Naruto's forehead. "Congratulations you pass."

"Yosh!" Of course in the years to come the blonde would later deny ever saying the word Yosh on that night in question. "I passed hello Jutsu library. Thanks Iruka." Stated Naruto as he jumped into the air. "OW!" Naruto clutched his side and fell to the ground.

"Naruto are you alright?" exclaimed Iruka worried that the blond was suffering from chakra exhaustion to his use of extensive jutsu.

Hi no Kuni, Konohagakure no Sato, Hokage tower, the next morning

'Finally I'm not sore any more.' Thought the blond walking in to the tower. "Ohayo Oji-san." Naruto greeted the aging Hokage with a pleasant smile.

"Ohayo Naruto-kun " Responded the aging shadow of fire.

"I'm not going to be become a genin, am I those bastard councilors." He muttered the last part more to himself, it was a pity he didn't have full control of his bloodline limit then he could pull some... what was the old man calling it fancy political footwork.

"Unfortunately not Naru," stated the Hokage reverting to Naruto's nickname "the earliest they will allow you to become a ninja of Konoha is with your own class and perhaps that is for the best, however since you have already graduated you no longer have to attend the academy." Commented the Hokage "So that means you will have more time to train"

He nodded, he understood to an extent what was going on but this did open opportunities for him in the interim at least, "Yay no more stinking academy classes." Stated the blonde in reply

"But you've only gone one year how can you already be glad to be out, it can't be that bad can it?" inquired the Kage

The blond perked up, "Did they even have the academy when you were a kid old man." Jibed Naruto

"So anyway here your graduation presents." The head of the Sarutobi clan ignored Naruto's friendly jab and handed Naruto two scrolls.

"Thanks old man." Responded Naruto

It turned out one of the scrolls that Sandaime had given Naruto contained a new outfit, and a new set of high quality ninja equipment.

"Yeah three new scrolls in the course of forty-eight hours." Stated Naruto pulling out the ninjutsu scroll that Iruka had given him, twirling around. "So what to do now…" he pondered. "Training is only going to get me so far." He commented. "I need real world experience and more power."
The blond slumped over energy flowing through his veins.

'Is that all you need my other self.' Whispered a voice that would make the blond in even the harshest men's veins run cold as ice, this was definitely not Kyubi.

Naruto blinked in confusion looking around as he gripped the blade he had drawn on instinct, no one was supposed to be here after all he was alone. The young blonde had always been alone, he was an orphan after all.
