Deep below the Northern Water Tribe is a compound that is only accessible to the Chief and a select few of his elite guards. Those elite guards were currently escorting Naruto down a poorly lit hallway.

"Hey, where are we going?" Naruto asked as he looked up to the big men.

"The Chief is going to help you with your memories. We are taking you to him." One of them said. Silence soon enveloped them again as they walked down the long corridor.

Naruto lit up his hand with his light and used it to see as he wasn't too fond of the dark. The hallway was bathed in a bright yellow glow and the escorts' eyes widened a bit. They had heard of the boy's...unique bending but to see it in action was something else.

After what seemed like hours of walking, they made it to a door. The door opened to reveal Unalaq and behind him a bare room with a chair.

"Welcome, Naruto. Today, we will be trying to get your memories back. Just take a seat in the chair and we'll begin." The Chief said as he ushered Naruto into the room.

Naruto went to the chair and sat down, he didn't expect for someone to strap his arms and legs to the chair. He noticed that a lantern was lit and it sat on a track a few inches from his face.

"H-Hey, what's going on?" The frightened child asked.

"This is to insure your and our safety, not that you'll remember this anyways." He said as he turned away from the child and to his guard.

"I want him to forget about the Avatar and I want undying loyalty to myself. Make him remember all about his that he can about his bending." Unalaq gave his orders and he made his way back to the surface, he had appearances to keep.

'The Red Lotus had their uses, first the attempted kidnapping of Korra was a failure but I got the boy out of it. Their connections were vast as well, who knew that the Earthbenders of Ba Sing Se used hypnosis for so long during the Hundred Year War. A pity I have to hold P'Li here, I have to or they would be very suspicious of me.' He thought of his current betrayal of the Red Lotus.

'Oh well onto better things, I suppose. I could use the boy to get close to the Avatar possibly if we visit every once in a while. I should wait until she and her powers mature before opening the spirit portals.' He concluded his thoughts as he continued his way towards the surface, unaware of what he triggered by trying to get the boy brainwashed.

-With Naruto-

"Alright, start it up." Jango, the head hypnotist said.

His assistant nodded and lit the lantern with a match and started up the machine as the lantern started to go around the track with Naruto's eyes glued to it as he struggled to get out of his bindings.

"You will forget everything. The Chief will keep you safe." Jango repeated over and over as Naruto's eyes slowly closed.

'Stop!' A deep booming voice yelled from nowhere.

'Don't listen to that human, listen to me.'

'Wh-who are you?' Naruto said mentally.

'I am you and you are me. I am the shadow of your true self.'

'Remember, Naruto, remember who your are and who I am.' The voice seemed to repeat as he closed his eyes and visions started to play before him.

He saw a blonde haired man that looked remarkably like him but with longer hair and more angular facial features. He was with a redhead woman with a round face and purple eyes. She was holding a baby with a red tuft of hair and blue eyes.

"Mama, come play with me!" A three year old Naruto said as he tugged on his mother's green dress.

"Not now, Naruto. Karin needs to be fed, we'll play later." Kushina said as she cooed at the baby in her arms as she walked away to the baby's room.

Naruto looked down sadly but then perked up and looked towards his father. Minato saw the look and frowned a bit. He placed a hand on the whiskered blond's head and ruffled his hair.

"Sorry but I can't play either, Naruto. Paperwork is such a pain. Maybe later, kiddo." Minato said as he left as well leaving the sad and dejected blonde.

'This was the first time that darkness seeped into your heart. Darkness is caused by a multitude of things and your parents unintentional neglect for the next three years was a huge factor.'

-Three Years Later-

"Minato! Look, Karin is firebending!" Kushina squealed.

Minato had a look of surprise on his face, "Wow, really! That's impressive for a toddler." He said as he watched his baby girl bend tiny flames around her her fists.

"Big brother! Look it!" Karin yelled as she ran to the now six year old Naruto, who was trying to get his leg under him as they were on a trip to the South Pole to visit some friends of Minato's.

"That's great, Karin! You're one step closer to almost being as awesome as me." He said to the young girl with a huge grin on his face.

"You can bend too, Big Brother?!" She exclaimed with stars in her eyes. Minato and Kushina exchanged looks with each other, 'Since when can Naruto bend?'

"When did you learn how to bend Naruto?" Kushina asked. It was a big moment when a child bends for the first time, why did she miss it?

"I learned last year." He said shocking his parents.

"W-Well looks like we have two firebenders two train." Minato said trying to hide his surprise.

"But, Dad, I don't firebend." Naruto stated.

Minato looked at him strangely, "Naruto, your mother and I are both firebenders. Your grandparents and their parents before them were firebenders, it is in your blood."

"No, mine looks like lasers. See?" Naruto said as he pointed his finger at the water to the left. A glowing star shape appeared on his fingertip that left his parents slack-jawed, a beam left his finger and flew into the sea. After a ten seconds of nothing, an explosion rang out and the boat was rocked by the incoming waves.

"Wh-What the hell?" Minato stuttered out as others started to gather around the small family.

"I told you. I can make things go boom!" Naruto shouted with his hands in the air.

Karin rushed over into his face, "Cool, can you show me, Big Brother?! Can you? Can you?" She asked with child like glee.

"Karin get back!" Kushina yelled as she grabbed her daughter and brought her back hasitly. Both children had looks of confusion as well as Minato but it was for a different reason.

'How did I not notice this? If this what all his bending does then wouldn't we have felt the explosions when he trained? Why did he keep this a secret? What is he?' Minato rattled off questions in his mind.

"Mama, what's wrong?" Karin asked.

"Karin, you're brother's..'bending' is really dangerous, you need to stay away from him." Kushina said and many gasped at the coldness a mother would show to her own son.

"Whoa, Kushina! That may be a bit much." Minato said with a frown.

"I don't care. I won't let him hurt my baby girl." Kushina said as she turned away to shelter Karin.

"He's our son too!" Minato yelled.

Kushina's eyes widened a bit, as if she had forgot that piece of information. They looked back to the boy in question and were saddened by what they saw. Naruto was crying with tears streaming down his cheeks and his small frame visibly shaking.

"Mama doesn't want me, huh?" Naruto mumbled but everyone heard him. Many frowned at the redhead woman and pitied the boy.

"Fine! I'll just go away and leave you with your favorite child!" Naruto yelled.

"What do you mean, we don't play favorites." Minato asked as Kushina wasn't in the position to say otherwise.

"Yes you do! You guys never play with me anymore and it's always Karin this or Karin that and Papa is always doing paperwork! Karin gets more presents for her birthday and you were going to teach her bending without even knowing I could bend!" Naruto yelled but as he kept venting, he didn't notice that there were wisps of dark smoke exuding from his body.

"I can even bend more than one, I think!" Naruto said as he emphasized his point by staring at section of wall before it started to twist away in a spiral like fashion before disappearing leaving a deep hole in the wall.

Many grew wide eyed at the display even more than the light show. They back away slowly before starting to break out into a full sprint but before they could get far Naruto pointed a finger at them. A multitude of purple rings came out in rapid succession as the radius increased as the further they got from Naruto. They touched the fleeing group and they slowed down almost to a stop.

"See?! No you didn't because you're always focused on Karin or paperwork!" Naruto yelled as the darks wisps grew in size.

Many backed away from the strange 'firebending' boy as it felt very ominous. "N-Naruto calm down. We're sorry for favoriting Karin so much but we can fix it." Minato said trying to calm down his son unless he burns down the boat and sinks them all.

Naruto wasn't listening to his father however, there was a darker voice he paid heed to.

'Don't listen to that human, Naruto.'

'W-Who are you?'

'I am you and you are me. You can call me Kurama and I am from the Spirit World.'

'S-Spirit..World?'

'Yes I have been with you for a long time, Naruto. I've seen how they treated you. They don't want you, nothing will change if you go with back them. Leave and I will protect you with my..no our power.'

'What power?'

'The power of Darkness!'

Naruto clutched his head in pain as an influx of information appeared and he staggered a bit. He looked and everyone slowly backed away further as the boy's once sky blue eyes were now a blood red with an animalistic slit for a pupil. While the boy had called on his power and that let Kurama in control for the moment.

"You see. This isn't fire bending, it's darkness." Kurama said as he looked to the frightened mass of people gathered around him. The smokey substance started to spread on the ground before it surrounded everyone.

If they weren't freaking out then they started to when everyone besides the Namikaze Family were sucked into the unknown. Said family looked to the boy and were frightened by what they saw.

A dark smirk crossed his features as he looked to both of his hands: the left covered in his darks wisps and the right glowed as if touched by the Heavens.

"The redhead doesn't want us. I can see it now, she only wanted Karin this whole time. Well you can have her!" He yelled as his eyes snapped up to Naruto's parents and the flinched when they saw the hurt and pain in his eyes.

"B-Big Brother, you're scarying me." Karin stuttered out as she drew closer into her mother's embrace.

Kurama's eyes softened at the sight of his frightened sister but they had made their choice.

"It is because of the girl that you still draw breath. Do not follow me or else.." He let the threat hang.

"No, Naruto! You're not leaving our family!" Minato yelled as his eyes hardened with resolve and he took a firebending stance.

He forgot however that the darkness had surrounded him, that fact was not lost on Kurama. With a slight movement of his foot, and explosion of darkness occurred and everyone that was sucked into the darkness was spat out with multiple injuries and looked as if they were going in and out of consciousness.

"Do you still want to take that chance, father?"

"Yes I do! I won't allow for my family to be broken up." Minato said as he send forth a blast of yellow fire.

"That can be arranged." Kurama said as the women of the family started to sink into the abyss.

Minato's eyes widened before rushing towards the girls and trying to pull them to safety.

"Remember this: actions have consequences and your actions cost this boy some of his childhood and the love for you." Kurama said as he the two women stopped sinking and were spat back up with no injuries.

Naruto staggered back again but this time when he looked up, he had his blue eyes back. He looked to his family and he saw the way they looked at him: with shock and some disgust from his mother.

He stepped back and ignored the call from his father as he ran towards a lifeboat and dropped to the sea below. He put a finger to the water and sent a beam of light down and it set and explosion below the surface of the water. While it did little to vessel he previously occupied; the small boat was rocketed away, sending Naruto out in the the open waters.

-End Flashback-

Naruto blinked a couple of times and noticed that he was still strapped to a chair.

'So what now?' He asked Kurama.

'Now we play along with this man and his plans until the time is right. We train so that no force could ever hope to defeat us, even that blasted Avatar!' Kurama practically spat the word 'Avatar' as if it was vile to him.

'I'll trust you, Kurama.' Naruto responded as he felt the restraints on his legs and wrist loosen. He was led out of the room and back to Unalaq's chambers. He was unaware of his new partner's thoughts.

'This boy will be perfect for the future. Four elements and even if untrained, the boy could probably destroy a nation. I made the right choice and he will help when the time is right.'

-End-

I think I have a plan for all this. I was kinda confused on what to do with his time and space powers. I think I will use Law's Room so he can only control space within a certain area.

Idk but please review.
