Disclaimers: I do not own Naruto but I do own my story line and some characters that I make.

Chapter 1

Naruto has learned two things in his short 4 year long life. 1 is how to run away 2 is that you can't trust anyone. He learned running from a mob like he is now. He spares a glance behind him and sees the angry drunken mob gaining ground quickly. "Why do they do this it's not like I have done anything to them have I?" He thinks as he turns down another street."I'm sorry for whatever I did to all of you!"He yells behind at the crowd."Ha did you hear that guys the Demon asks for forgiveness I think we should give it to him!"A drunken mob member yells. Now this is where rule two comes into play.

They didn't think that the demon heard him because last time he said that the demon stopped and it can't learn that quickly can he? No of course not so why did it start to run faster after he said it. It didn't matter as they were still gaining ground on the demon and that meant they were going to get their revenge on it.

Naruto turns a corner and runs right into a dead end alley. Spinning around quickly he takes off again only to be caught by a mob member and thrown against the alley wall and stabbed in the hands with a kunai by a ninja in the mob.

"Hahahahahah looks like we finally get our revenge right guys?" "YYYYEEEEAAHHHHH!" The crowd choruses with glee. The mob just starts laying into young Naruto with everything they have including, but not limited to pots, pans, knives, kunai, shuriken, clubs, rebar, and fists. Naruto was pinned to the wall and took all of it. Broken arms, ribs, legs, and vertebrae and the crowd didn't stop they didn't even slow down they just kept hitting and stabbing.

"Looks like they will finally kill me on my birthday too. I read birthdays are supposed to be happy and you are surrounded by friends not people that try to kill you. Oh right I don't have friends besides old man Teuchi, Ayame, and old man Sarutobi. I don't want to die though!" Naruto thought as a man in an anbu mask steps forward and holds up his tonto and screams. "Today the demon dies!"

"Please stop please I don't want to die please!" Naruto stutters out as he starts to weep "Ayame, Teuchi, old man please save me save me! I don't want to die please save me! Why won't anyone save me please I don't want to die!" Naruto sobs as the anbu lifts his sword and laughs out "Look at the demon trying to get our sympathy!" he stabs Naruto in the shoulder and leans in close and whispers into is ear. "Did my daughter and wife cry out like this as you killed them 7 years ago?" he twists the blade in Naruto shoulder and shoves it deeper nicking a lung.

Naruto feels blood fill up his lung and weeps "Old man*sob*where are you! I thought you said you would*sob* save me please old man!*sob* Please help me please help me*sob* where are you help me!" Naruto's tears mix in with the blood leaking from the corners of his mouth as the drip to the floor.

The anbu lifts up his tonto to Naruto's neck and screams. "Goodbye demon!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOO SAVEE MEE!" Naruto screams as his body erupts into teal and silver flames that shoot hundreds of feet into the air. The fire melts the tonto at his throat and in the process the anbu as well leaving only ash. The fire screams outward and catches all the fleeing mob members leaving only ash and terrified screams that filter through the desolate ally.

Naruto passes out as the flames flicker out of existence. More anbu arrive in the alley and find a passed out seven year old and ash. The pick Naruto up and shunshin to the hokage office.

The Hokage was an old man in his late 50s where the average shinobi life span was 25. He was well respected and loved by the entire Hidden Leaf Village. He had fought in 2 of the last great ninja wars. He thought himself a patient and calm man, but when he saw the state Naruto was in he was seething with fury. How can anyone do this to someone let alone a harmless child. He cast another glace to Naruto on the couch and saw all of the blood, cuts, gashes, bruises, and broken really everything he thought how Naruto can survive, but was relieved when he saw the more minor wounds healing and knitting tighter with help from kyuubi's chakra. He was going to have a talk with Naruto when he woke up.

Naruto woke up and found himself in a dark room. "Where the hell am I and why is it so dark I need to find a light." The moment he thought the word light the whole room was bathed in golden candle light. In front of him was a throne room like in a castle. The only problem was it looked like it was abandoned 60 years ago. The mirrors were cracked, the chandelier had fallen and shattered, and the paint on the walls were fading and chipping. "Where in kami's name am I?"

Suddenly Naruto felt a pulling in his subconscious and he followed it. He walked past broken bed room, ransacked kitchens, filthy ballrooms, and destroyed lounges. The calling told him to walk down a set of chipped and worn spiral stairs leading into black below. "Well here we go!" He started walking down below. He accidently kicked a rock off of a stair and didn't hear it hit the bottom.

After about 10 minutes of walking down the stairs he came to the bottom. When he stepped off the last stair he stepped into ankle high water. He turned around and saw a huge cage with the kanji for "seal" on it. As he stepped closer he saw one large eye open up. "My jailer finally comes to meet me how nice." A deep rumbling voice bellows from deep within the cage.

"Who's there?" Naruto yells into the cage. "You don't recognize me?" The voice says. "Here I will let you get a better look." Naruto watches the cage with curiosity when a giant orange fox steps into the light.

"K..k..kyuubi!" Naruto stutters out. "Hey there kit. Let's talk shall we?"

AN

Hey there everyone that concludes another chapter of Naruto the Sage of the First Flame. Sorry about the cliff hanger I will work on the next chapter soon. We got a sneak peak of what Naruto's bloodline will be and no it's not a dojutsu. When he uses higher level jutsu his eyes change a little that's it. If he was blind he could still use the moves exactly the same. He will not be godlike in the beginning he will work hard and train to get good. So far I have been getting good feedback from the first chapter and that's why I got this chapter out so quick. I want to get one thing out of the way right here Naruto seems like a nicer kid in this chapter, but he will be a bad person later. I just love younger Naruto in the show so I had to keep some of his innocence. I still am looking for someone to do cover art for me so if you want pm me about it and I will give you the details.

Original Jutsu:

There were no jutsu in this chapter.
