Plot: Naruto's life, from start to finish.

A/N: Oh yeah! Another Fic by me! (Hopefully I will finish this one) This is probably the first story that I am writing seriously, not just to make ya laugh. (Though that may will happen) This story is gonna represent my progress as a writer from when I was 12 to now, while I am 13, which I believe has increased drastically. Also, there is logic to why I made Naruto start the academy at 9 years old. Cause, in the show, he graduated at age 12, and it was his 3rd term at the academy. I don't really know if it goes by years or whatnot, but same difference.

Kara Sou Tame Shiagari (From Start To Finish)

October 10th

Namikaze Minato awoke from his temporary rest at his desk. There was so much paperwork to do. He was bored to the bone, and his arm was so sore he thought he would die. And of course, his son seems ready to pop out of his wife at any minute. Worst of all, an ANBU scout came in this morning and alerted him that the Kyuubi was approaching the village at a tremendous rate. By the looks of it, there was going to be a battle, and by mid-day at that.

'Being Hokage is definitely not what Sarutobi said it was,' Minato thought to himself, while massaging his forehead, "next time I see him, that man is gonna get a piece of my mind."

Minato was skimming over some paperwork on his desk, barely reading anything. At the bottom of the paper, he finally found a line next to the words "Sign Here". He did as the paper commanded and proceeded to take the paper and put it in the "Out" bin on his desk. Just as he was about to pick up another paper, he heard a soft rumbling. The longer he sat listening to it, the louder it got. Finally, scowling, he stood up and exited his office. He walked through the halls and exited the building. He used the Shunshin to teleport to the top of the Hokage Monument.

When he overlooked the village, he was met with a terrible sight. A giant red fox was evilly grinning directly at Minato. 'Oh fudge...'

10 seconds later. "ALL SHINOBI CHUUNIN AND ABOVE TO BATTLE STATIONS!"

Every single person in the village looked up towards the Hokage Monument. Then everyone looked where the Hokage was looking. Hundreds, maybe thousands, of villagers went into utter chaos. Every single Chuunin, Special Jounin, and Jounin got dashed towards their crisis situation battle station. The Hokage instantly Shunshined to the front of the Kyuubi. All of it's attention was focused on Minato. Minato took out a single kunai. The battle was on.

Hours later, both the Kyuubi and Hokage were drained. The Hokage got an idea. 'No, I can't do that... I will not leave my son without a father.' Minato thought. Seconds later he saw a man and a woman run towards the Kyuubi at full speed, only to be demolished. In the other direction, the Hokage saw a Chuunin carrying a young Iruka away from the scene. Minato made his choice. 'The only way to protect this village is to leave my son without a father... I only hope the village see's him as a hero, not a demon.' Minato used his Shunshin to teleport to Sarutobi.

"I assume you've come to ask permission to use "that" jutsu." The third Hokage said. It was no question, but a statement.

"Yes."

"Fine, but I want you to know the pain it will cause this village."

"Not nearly as bad as not having a village at all. But I have one request... I want you to try to convince the village that my son is no demon, but a hero who constantly protects this village from the demon."

"I will try, but I will let you know, many villagers are very stubborn."

That was the last time the third Hokage saw Minato.

In seconds Minato was back in front of the Kyuubi. In less seconds than before, the Hokage was atop Gamabunta. "You know what to do, Gamabunta..." Minato trailed off.

"Okay, Minato. You are a great man, you know. Condemning yourself to hell for a village is an honorable decision." The smoking frog replied.

Minutes later, the Kyuubi had been sealed in Minato's newly born son, whom he and his wife named Naruto, and Minato was dead.

(June 23rd)

"I'm gonna go to Ichiraku's and get some ramen!" Uzumaki Naruto said as he nearly hopped down the street towards the near famous stall. On his way, he passed through a park and saw a little pink blur sitting on a bench. But, this is no ordinary blur. This was a girl.

Naruto was about to walk by without a word to the girl, until he saw tears streaming down her face. He walked up to the girl.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Naruto asked the girl. No response.

"Hello, anyone there?" Naruto asked while tapping the girl's shoulder.

The girl looked up at him and instantly looked back down. "I-if you're j-just going to t-tease me about m-my forehead, j-just get out of h-here! I've h-heard i-it enough!" She said through the tears and sobs.

"What do ya mean tease you about your forehead?" Naruto asked, clueless.

The girl looked back at him. She saw how his eyes glistened with curiosity and knew he wasn't going to be mean to her.

"Those k-kids over there," she said, pointing to a group of kids talking and laughing, "w-were making f-fun of my forehead b-because it's so big."

"There is nothing wrong with your forehead! Besides, even if it was big, who cares? It's only a forehead, it's not like you are sick or something. And, you know what, I'm going to teach those kids a lesson. Which one is their "leader"?"

"T-the one with the g-green shirt on." the girl replied.

Naruto instantly knew who she was talking about. The kid with the green shirt was much bigger than any of the other kids. Naruto rolled up his sleeves and walked over to the kid.

When he approached, one of the kids pointed him out to the green haired kid, grinning.

"Were you making fun of that pink-haired girl?" Naruto asked the green-shirted kid politely.

"The one with the big forehead?" the green-shirted kid asked.

"No, the other pink-haired one you moron."

"Hey! Whatever. You should have seen the look on her face! It was hilarious!" the kid exclaimed

Naruto turned around, still smiling. Almost instantly, the green-shirted kid was on the ground rolling, clutching his stomach. Everyone else in the group turned to look at Naruto, and a look of shock like no other crawled onto their faces. Those kids were out of there in seconds.

Naruto walked up to the pink-haired girl, wiping his hands together. The girl was sitting on the bench, smiling at Naruto. "That was amazing!" the girl said to Naruto, while patting the spot next to her, motioning for Naruto to sit.

"You know, I never caught your name." Naruto said.

"My name is Haruno Sakura. What's yours?" Sakura responded.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, and I'm going to become Hokage someday!" Naruto said, grinning.

"I hope you do." Sakura said.

Just then, Sakura's mother walked up to the two on the bench. Naruto turned and looked at her.

"Hi! Are you Sakura's mom?" Naruto said, catching on to the pink hair thing.

"Yes, I am. Who might you be?" Sakura's mother asked.

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto answered, enthused.

"So," Sakura's mother started, "how did you two meet?" 'You know, his name rings a bell.'

"Well," Naruto started, "I was walking through the park on my way to Ichiraku's, when I saw Sakura-chan sitting on this bench crying. Naturally, I walked up to her and asked her what was wrong." Naruto said, grinning like a fox.

'Wait a minute, fox? This is the Kyuubi kid!' Sakura's mother thought to her self.

"Sakura told me that some kids were making fun of her forehead, saying that it was big.""Then Naruto walked over to them and scared them away and knocked out the leader!" Sakura cut in.

Naruto pointed to the green-shirted kid (who was still rolling around on the ground) still grinning.

"Wow, you have a quite a punch." Sakura's mom stated. 'You know, if this kid made my daughter feel better, he's no demon in my book' she thought to herself. "You know what, Naruto, I think all three of us should go to Ichiraku's. That's where you said you were going, right?" Naruto nodded. "And, because you made my daughter happy, It's my treat." Sakura's mom said, smiling.

"Awesome!" Naruto yelled, enthusiastically.

One hour, 18 bowls of ramen, and an empty wallet later, Sakura's mother stated that her and Sakura had to get going. Naruto asked one final question before the two left. "Hey Sakura, are you going to apply for the ninja academy?"

"You know Naruto, I think I am." Sakura said. With that, Sakura and her mother walked away.

3 Years, 2 Months, 11 Days Later

(September 1st)

"First day at the Ninja Academy!" Naruto exclaimed while laying in bed. He jumped out from under his covers and got dressed in seconds. In a minute or two, he had already brushed his teeth and was on to eating his breakfast. 3 cups of insta-ramen later, Naruto was feeling content, and stepped out of his apartment and headed toward the Ninja Academy.

Minutes later, Naruto saw a familiar pink blur. "Sakura-chan!"

"Hey Naruto." Sakura responded.

"Heading to the Academy?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah." Sakura responded.

"Wanna walk together?" Naruto asked.

"Sure." Sakura said.

Five minutes later, Naruto and Sakura were standing in front of the Academy.

"Kinda intimidating, eh?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, it's.. So big." Sakura said, almost gaping.

"That's what she said!" Naruto exclaimed, grinning.

"Naruto?"

"Yeah Sakura-chan?" Naruto asked.

"Shaddup." Sakura said, smiling.

Together, Naruto and Sakura entered the "intimidating" building.

Their new teacher, who introduced himself as Iruka, told the two to pick any seat in the room and sit. Naruto and Sakura decided to sit next to a quiet kid wearing a blue shirt and white pants. And, he had the most freakish hairstyle you'll ever see.

"What's your name?" Naruto almost shouted at the kid.

The kid muttered, "Uchiha Sasuke"

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, and this is Sakura-chan!" Naruto exclaimed.

"Could you stop yelling in my ear?" Sasuke stated.

Naruto frowned. 'Sheesh, who put a stick up his a-'

"Why are you being mean to Naruto?" Sakura asked Sasuke.

"Why? First off, because he is annoying, like you. Second, because he, nor you, knows the pain of truly being alone, and what it does to a person." Sasuke retorted.

"What do you mean alone! I never even knew my family! How's that for alone!" Naruto yelled.

"Yeah well... Well..." Sasuke started. 'Why can't I think of a good response?' 'Because he is right!' said a voice in his subconscious. From that argument on, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura became friends.

3 Years, 10 Months, 6 Days Later

(June 7th)

"Finally! The last day at the Academy!" Naruto exclaimed to Sakura and Sasuke as they walked to school for the last time as students.

"And finally, we don't have to listen to Jason-sensei's crazy science theories. And seriously, what kind of name is Jason?" Sakura stated.

"I dunno, I think he came from Ah-mer-ee-ka." Naruto said.

"You mean America?" Sasuke asked.

"Yeah, that place." Naruto said, grinning.

A few minutes later, Naruto, Sakura, and Sasuke were sitting in their normal seat, about to receive their team assignments.

"Team 7," Iruka called out, "Will consist of Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura, and Uchiha Sasuke. Your Sensei will be Hatake Kakashi." At this, the trio all high-fived eachother.

"Team 8, will consist of Hyuuga Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, and Aburame Shino."

"Team 10, will consist of Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akamichi Choji."

At the end of the team assigning, class was pretty much over.

"Well, I guess that's all for today," Iruka said, "you can all go home."

A/N Oh Yeah! One Chapter Down! God only knows how many to go.

On a separate note, June 7th (the date that school ended) just so happens to be my birthday! And, Jason-Sensei is supposed to represent me, and he will probably make an appearance later. I made him the science teacher, well, because I wanna be a science teacher when I grow up.
