Disclamer: I do not own Naruto or any other elements.

Namikaze

Chapter 1

There had been a flaw in Minato's seal. A major one. The seal was designed to siphon Kyuubi's chakra into his son's chakra coils so that he would in the future be able to use it to defend himself, and the part where both his own and Kushina's chakra and soul resided was not supposed to do that, but it did.

Throughout the first six years of this boy's life, he was given memories in the form of dreams of his parents. He had knowledge of things that he shouldn't, and he would constantly get headaches from the overflowing data that was transferred to his brain by the seal. His personality was slowly becoming more and more like his father, but he still retained the mischievous traits that his mother had.

Because of this flaw, the boy was a literal genius. His mind worked like no other, and he calculated everything with extreme precision. Things that would take months, if not years to learn, was learned on the first try, as if he already knew it. The knowledge, memories and therefore the experience that his parents had mistakenly fused into him had turned him into a strong individual already at the age of six.

He was seen as an intelligent being and even though he was unnaturally mature for his age he was still a bit childish and would pull pranks on somewhat random victims. His pranks were obviously not dangerous in any form, but he made sure that no-one knew it was him by getting out fast. Rumors said that whoever did these acts was a master of stealth and a genius in terms of traps.

He was secretive though, as not even the Sandaime Hokage had any knowledge of what had happened. He made sure that no one knew about it, and had even set up seals in the apartment he was given by the Hokage to keep intruders away from it. The Hokage also made sure that no-one knew about the boy's jinchuriki status, and because of that the boy had lived a somewhat normal life.

He hadn't lived the life that his parents would've wanted for him, and he knew that. He did however have friends and he wasn't as hated or feared as a jinchuriki usually is. No, he was just left alone because the Hokage didn't know what to do with him, but the boy had asked him if he could live alone in an apartment. And why would the Hokage say no to that? He had ANBU watching over the boy from the shadows and he knew that he would be safe.

The Sandaime Hokage knew what this boy had been doing when the ANBU couldn't find him. He knew that something was up but he didn't know what it was. He had seen the boy create seals, train techniques he shouldn't know. But he wasn't going to stop this boy, because the village needed him. They needed a force that would be strong enough to defend the village against the outside threat, and if this boy needed help in training then he would give it to him.

This boy's name is Uzumaki Naruto, and this is the start of his tale!

Six years after the incident

Uzumaki Naruto woke up with a big smile on his face. Today was the first day at the academy. Even though he had been excited for the whole week he had been able to sleep without any problem and woke up with the energy that everyone knew he had. The hyperactive trouble-making genius stood up at a length of 4 feet, which could be considered tall for his age. He looked at the clock and saw that it was 7am.

"Well, at least I won't be late." he said, as he went over to the bathroom and took a shower. Five minutes later he came back into his bedroom and got dressed. He put on a black T-shirt with a swirl on its back, and a pair of black short-pants that went down to his ankles. He then went to the kitchen and got himself some cereal, milk and an apple to eat for breakfast.

Contrary to popular beliefs, Naruto actually ate healthy. He only ate ramen from time to time because it was his favorite dish and he knew that it wasn't that bad as he was burning the carbs with the training he was doing, which would be considered an unhealthy form of training for someone so young. He didn't care though, he wanted to become strong enough to protect his precious people and to do that he needed to train; hard.

After he had eaten his breakfast he made his way to the grocery store on the other side of the road. Naruto was apparently the first customer of the day and he was greeted by the clerk. "Hello Naruto-kun how are you today?" The clerk asked with a cheerful smile on his face, to which Naruto replied with "Hi Tetsu-jiji, I am fine! How are you?" he asked before taking a cart to put his groceries in.

"I am fine and I thank you for asking, young man!" the clerk, Tetsu replied before Naruto made his way to the vegetables and picked up some carrots, apples and paprika before getting some noodle packages and then going to the clerk to pay for the groceries. "That will be 150 Ryo" Tetsu said, and Naruto paid him before waving goodbye and went back home to put the groceries on the shelves and in the fridge.

After that he went to the Hokage tower where he met up with the Hokage himself, who was the person to enroll him into the academy. Throughout this whole day Naruto had not stopped smiling. He was really excited about starting school and he really wanted to become a ninja so that he could become even stronger and help people in need.

"Hi Ji-chan!" Naruto said running towards the old man before giving him a hug, which was returned by Hiruzen. They then started walking towards the academy and while doing so they held a little conversation.

"So, Naruto-kun, are you excited for today?" The old man asked, to which Naruto replied with "Yeah I'm really excited! I can't wait to meet all my classmates and my teachers! And just you wait, I will become a ninja in no time!"

This made the Hokage chuckle a little bit, knowing that Naruto was stronger than what he let on. He knew that Naruto was hiding something but he couldn't pinpoint what he was hiding, to be exact. But he also knew that Naruto wasn't going to show him right away, because they both had secrets, and some of those secrets involved Naruto.

The first day at the academy wasn't going to be long, and Naruto knew that. The old man had told him that he would only be there for a couple of hours so that he could talk to his new classmates and get some of the books that they were going to be reading for the first few months.

When they got to the academy people looked at their direction. Everyone bowed towards the Hokage, but Naruto didn't realize that and started blushing at the amount of respect that was directed towards him and the Hokage. It didn't matter if he had the memories of his parents in his head, or the experience that they had: this was slightly embarrassing for a six year-old.

The day went on as anyone would expect it would. Naruto made some new friends by the names of Nara Shikamaru and Akamichi Chouji. He found the first one to be rather amusing in the way that he would consider everything but sleeping and cloud gazing to be troublesome. Chouji however was a really energetic child who ate a lot, but Naruto didn't mind as Chouji shared his snacks with him.

He also got acquainted with a few more people, by the name of Uchiha Sasuke, Inuzuka Kiba and Hyuuga Hinata. He thought that Hinata was really shy and blushed a lot. Sasuke on the other hand was almost as energetic as Chouji was but tried to act cool and level-headed as he was from the prominent Uchiha Clan. Kiba on the other hand was a brash, clumsy loudmouth who made a fool of himself more times than Naruto could count. All in all, it had been a fun day but after eating lunch with his classmates Naruto decided it was time to train, so he went to one of the training grounds to see if it was free, which it was. He had left a kagebunshin in his home to keep himself from caught doing high-level ninjutsu by the Hokage.

This is what he would be doing for the next few weeks. Train to the point of exhaustion before teleporting back to his apartment where his clone was residing, reading up and doing the homework that Naruto had been given. He would then eat his dinner and go to the shower before going off to bed so that he would be able to train another day.

A month later

Naruto was making his way home from the training field. He had trained a little bit less this day because he had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. He was walking down the road where the Hyuuga Compound was, when he saw a man with a foreign headband on his head run with something in his arms. Naruto immediately thought something was fishy, and decided to follow the man. He masked his chakra and tailed him for several blocks before seeing what he was holding: a child.

Naruto knew what this was. A kidnapping. He knew he had to stop the man from getting away with the child and decided to confront him by jumping right in front of him, which frightened the man for a second before realizing it was just a child that was standing right in front of him.

"And what are you doing here, brat?" the man asked with a slightly sadistic smile on his face to which Naruto only replied in a tone that made the man shiver slightly "To stop you." This made the man nervous. He had never seen a child behave like this, to speak with such a cold tone. It was almost unheard of.

Naruto decided that he had no time to talk, and went all out, throwing a kunai that had a bit of cloth wrapped around it with a seal the man had never seen before. The man just thought "Is this child throwing an explosive kunai at me?" and decided to dodge it while running towards him. What happened next was something the man did not see coming: the boy vanished, and suddenly he felt a pain in his shoulder.

'FUCK, this brat is fast. How the hell did he wound me this much?!' the man thought as he accidentally dropped the child and the blanket he held. The child in it stuck her head out and Naruto finally saw who it was: Hyuuga Hinata.

This made Naruto angry. Someone had just tried to abduct Hinata and the only explanation he could think of was that it was because she had an unsealed byakugan, as she was a member of the main household. Naruto knew that he could not fight this man while being angry. He had jumped away from the man after he had stabbed him in the shoulder. He knew that he needed to get Hinata away from the man before doing something about her kidnapper so he threw the kunai towards the side of her head, caught it, dropped it on the ground, grabbed her and vanished.

He laid her down on his bed and said "I will not let anyone harm you Hinata. I will be back in a few moments." before kissing her on the forehead, which gave her a major blush, before he vanished. He appeared at the kunai again only to be kicked in the stomach and sent into the wall behind him.

"So, that's your trick, huh? You use a fuin no shunshin to jump to the target? That's something else brat, but you forget one thing: I AM A CHUUNIN AND YOU ARE JUST A CHILD!" exclaimed the man as he charged towards him.

Naruto quickly regained himself before seeing the man charge at him. He knew that he couldn't hold back against this man, but he also knew that his repertoire of ninjutsu wasn't that big. He had only managed to recreate the Hiraishin no Jutsu and needed more time to create other techniques.

He quickly got up and dodged the man's kick that he was sending towards him, and went into a defensive stance and dodged as many attacks as the man sent towards him as he could. He knew that he couldn't keep this up for much longer, he was already exhausted from the training and he knew for a fact that it was only a matter of time before the adrenaline in his body would run out.

After several attacks had landed, Naruto was on the ground. Even with the knowledge his father and mother had given him, he couldn't do anything against this man. He didn't have the combat seals that he had created, they were at home. In the heat of the moment he had forgotten them and the man had gone into close combat to seal the deal.

Just as the man was about to deliver the final blow to Naruto in the form of a kunai to his throat, the man suddenly fell over him, dead. What he saw next surprised him: in front of him stood Hyuuga Hiashi, the Clan Head of the Hyuuga Family.

"Where is my daughter?" he asked with a stern look, which frightened the exhausted Uzumaki. Naruto could only reply "She's at my apartment" before passing out. Hiashi sighed, and pulled Naruto up and carried him over his shoulder to the boy's apartment and was surprised when he saw that Hinata was lying there on the bed, sleeping peacefully.

This made Hiashi glad. His eldest daughter was alive and well and there was no indication that she was harmed. He knew that the boy would be fine, but was surprised when he saw that there were not only one holster for kunai next to the bed. There were four, and all of the hilts had seals on them. Hiashi took a closer look at the seal and his eyes widened as it dawned on him: this was the Jutsu Shiki for Hiraishin no Jutsu.

'This boy is powerful. Very powerful for his age… It also seems that he's trying to keep it a secret from everyone, including the Hokage as we have not heard anything about him being able to use an S-rank technique that was thought to be lost after the fourth hokage's demise.' Hiashi thought. 'Do not worry Naruto, I will keep this a secret of yours just that: a secret. I just hope that you will keep my Hinata out of danger like you did tonight, Naruto-kun."

With that he placed Naruto on the other side of the king-sized bed that was in the bedroom, and picked up his daughter before carefully walking out of the apartment not wanting to be caught in one of the traps that he had seen with his byakugan.

'Become strong, Naruto. Become strong and make your parents proud. I know I already am.' was the last thing Hiashi thought before he vanished from Naruto's apartment in a Konoha no Shunshin.
