Iwa fought Konoha in the Great Shinobi Wars, which took place many years ago. Namikaze Minato, Jounin sensei of his team consisting of Obito, Kakashi, and Rin, earned himself the nickname 'Konoha's Yellow Flash' because of his famed Hiraishin no Jutsu, which he had developed himself. Because of his skill and his rising count of Iwa shinobi kills, he was hated severely by the people of Tsuchi no Kuni. In the end, after many years, Iwa was forced to surrender in the face of the Yellow Flash's victories.

The Sandaime Tsuchikage retired a few years after the end of the war, and Dainadare Katsu was chosen as the Yondaime Tsuchikage. He did not resent the Yellow Flash as his peers did, because he believed that Minato was merely doing what he was ordered to do. It was war, and any one side couldn't be blamed for the deaths. In time, the resentment against Konoha's Yellow Flash diminished, albeit slowly. When Minato became the Yondaime Hokage and extended a peace treaty towards Iwa, Katsu gladly accepted, hoping to put behind them the horrors of the Iwa-Konoha wars.

Unfortunately, the Kyuubi's arrival forced Konoha to withdraw from the alliance temporarily. In the battle with the demon fox, Konoha lost several hundred shinobi. In the ensuing battle, Minato forfeited his life to seal Kyuubi into his newborn child. No ninja village knew of this, as it was kept a secret until the boy reached an age where he could actually defend himself. Devastated by the Yondaime's death, Konoha reelected Sarutobi to return from retirement to retake his old job of Sandaime. Iwa's council, now unsure of the alliance, withdrew from it. They did not want to ally themselves to a ninja country whose strength was waning and fate unknown. Konoha's strength eventually recovered, but anti-Iwa sentiments over the withdrawal still flared.

Uzumaki Naruto, as the Sandaime named him, was the legacy of the late Yondaime Hokage, Namikaze Minato. This was so in the fact that Minato had sealed the Kyuubi in Naruto, as well as the fact that Naruto was his own son, chosen to bear the immense burden. Unknown to even Konoha's own council, Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage, and Hatake Kakashi, aspiring ANBU captain, kept the boy's heritage a secret.

Shunned by society, Naruto ran away from Konoha with the help of the Nara family, to seek shelter in Tsuchi no Kuni… in Iwagakure no Sato, Konoha's long time enemy. Now, the legend of Uzumaki Naruto, jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko and the legacy of Konoha's Yellow Flash, begins…

Outskirts of Iwagakure: Dawn

A lone squad of Chuunin stood guard at the South Gate.

"Geez, I hate taking the night shift," one guard grumbled.

"It's not like we have any choice," a second guard spoke in a voice that clearly revealed his boredom.

The third guard lay down on his back. "The really nice thing is that you get to see the countless stars. Plus, you get to see the rising sun…"

"Natural beauty is nice and all, but I really prefer the day shift, when all the interesting people start coming," the final fourth guard commented.

The second guard squinted his eyes as he looked off to the distance. "Hey, what's that?"

"It's the sun, you baka." The guard glared at his companion. "Shut up, I'm talking about that moving speck in the distance."

Perking up, said guard began looking as well. "Hey, what do you know? It looks like a person."

The fourth guard looked as well. "The person looks too small to be that old though… What would a kid be doing all the way out here?"

"Who knows?" The third guard sat up. "Well, our shift is almost up soon. What do we do with that stranger?"

As the conversation wore on, Naruto was swearing mentally. 'Damned leeches and their damned blood sucking habits! Why did I have to fall in a damned river? Why is there even a damned river inside Tsuchi no Kuni? I thought they imported all their water!'

Off in the distance, he could make out the walls of Iwagakure. 'Yes! I'm actually here! What should be my first course of action?' Excited, he began picking up speed as he began sprinting to the gate. 'Do they have a ninja academy? Am I old enough to enter? Do they have ramen in Iwagakure? And why do I feel like my back is itching?' These and other thoughts ran through young Naruto's mind as he closed the distance, step by step.

Closer than before, he could make out the figures of the guards on top of the walls. 'Who the hell takes night shift anyway?' He could see even from that distance that they were bored out of their wits. 'If I ever become a ninja, there is no way in hell I'm ever taking the night shift… or even standing guard for that matter!'

Slowing to a trot, he reached the gates and looked up. "Oi! Nice day isn't it?"

The first guard peered down from where he was standing. "I suppose so!" he called back. "Who the heck are you?"

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto, a runaway from Konoha!" the blonde called back.

By this time, the third guard had gotten up and walked up to the side of the wall as well. "Konoha? He's too young to be a ninja and he doesn't have a hitai-ate either. Maybe he was treated badly…"

"Eh, that doesn't matter. Civilians are always welcome in Iwagakure. Missing-nin are even more welcome, more so if they're from Konoha." The fourth guard laughed. "Runaway nin or civilian, we should let him in first and ask more detailed questions later."

"Okay!" The second guard got up and leapt down to ground level. 'Damn, I've got to stop doing that,' he thought, as he painfully hobbled over to the gate contraption. Walking over to the sleeping gate crew, he kicked them to consciousness and told them to open the gate.

"What, already?" one complained. "It's got to be the break of dawn!" This got him another kick in the side. "Just get the hell up and open the doors, dammit!" the guard roared.

And so, the gates of Iwagakure opened unto former Konohagakure civilian Uzumaki Naruto, bearer of the Kyuubi. Of course, no one but him knew that. As he walked in, the four guards from earlier confronted him. "Hi! You must be the idiots that took the night shift!"

They all deadpanned; embarrassed that even some kid would know better than to take the shift. The first guard recovered the quickest, and let loose the first question; "Hey kid, how old are you? Why are you here? What's your business?" Okay, so he let loose the first 'several' questions…

"First off, I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I'm seven years old and I'm here because Konoha is a load of shit." At this, the third guard snickered in agreement. Ignoring this, Naruto continued on. "I got tired of dealing with all the abuse so I came to Iwagakure to swear my loyalty as 'future' shinobi of the Stone."

The fourth guard grinned. "Future shinobi, eh? Yeah, I suppose… First thing you need to do if you are new is to go to the Tsuchikage tower and sign up as a civilian. Then, you need to take a test to prove your loyalty to Iwagakure. Then… ah screw it, you'll know when you come upon that bridge." Taking Naruto by the shoulder, he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

The two reappeared in the Kage office. The guard stood near the door, while Naruto began coughing excessively. "What the hell was that? Do you naturally fill your Shunshin no Jutsu smoke with pepper?" The guard shrugged in his indifference.

"So… who are the unlucky victims that disturbed my rest before the appointed time of paperwork signing?" a dangerous voice behind the desk growled. Naruto turned to see the Tsuchikage, a man of about thirty-five years of age and a lively mane of red. Glittering green eyes glared at the intruders, demanding an explanation. "Well? Answer yourselves!"

The guard snapped to attention. "Tsuchikage-sama! This is Uzumaki Naruto, a runaway civilian from Konohagakure! He wishes to become a civilian of Iwagakure and train to become a shinobi!" he rapidly repeated Naruto's story. The part of him being a runaway from Konoha particularly caught the Tsuchikage's ears. "You're from Konoha? How did you get out without evading the guards?"

Naruto gulped. 'This man… he looks intimidating.' "The Nara clan helped me out, Tsuchikage-sama…"

He raised an eyebrow. 'The famed shadow users of Konoha helped him 'escape' Konoha? Well, what an interesting turn of events…' Leaning forward, the Tsuchikage leered down at Naruto. "Well, before we start the official paperwork, tell me… do you possess any special, ah… traits, that might support your cause of joining our shinobi forces?"

Naruto thought for a moment, and then peered behind him at the guard. "I'll tell you if he leaves…" He then turned his attention to the guard. "It's not like I don't like you, but it's just that I don't want you to know what I'm going to talk about."

The guard merely shrugged. "It's alright with me, kid." Turning, he walked outside the door before disappearing in a cloud of smoke.

So, the Tsuchikage once again looked at Naruto. "Well? He's gone, so why don't you go ahead and tell me; are you special in any way or form?"

Naruto nodded vigorously. "Can you keep this a secret though?" The Kage nodded. "I'm… a jinchuuriki. At least, that's what Nara-san told me."

The Tsuchikage became very interested at this tidbit of information. "A jinchuuriki you say? What sort of demon is sealed inside you? A minor one?" Naruto shook his head. "The… Kyuubi no Yoko."

The Kage's eyes widened considerably. 'This is the famous container of the Kyuubi no Yoko? The one who was sealed by the Konoha's Yellow Flash?' He rubbed his chin. 'What an interesting development… It seems that Konoha's abuse finally broke the boy and made him run… What a waste of a powerful ally.' The Tsuchikage nodded, a smile gracing his face. "Very well, Uzumaki Naruto. I don't know how the citizens of Konoha treated you, but power and potential such as yours shall not go to waste here in Iwagakure."

Naruto brightened up. "I'm glad that you're nicer than those freaks back in Konoha." The Kage waved his hand dismissively. "Nonsense! You took upon a great burden, whether by your will or not. I will not prejudice against you for such an action."

Standing up, he walked over to Naruto. "You will be a great addition to our shinobi forces. In fact, instead of going to the Academy, I'll enroll you with a special private tutor! Your potential must be realized as soon as humanly possible!"

Naruto bowed deeply. "Thank you so much for your… um, oh yeah, hospitality." He rubbed the back of his head apologetically. "I'm sorry heheh, I don't have that large of a… uh, voc… vocab…"

"Vocabulary," the Kage finished for him. "Yeah, that's the word!" Naruto smiled. "I promise to become the best I can be, for the first village to ever acknowledge me!" he vowed.

"Good, good. Your private tutoring will begin in a week. First, you must go through the process of naturalization. Then, you must visit all over Iwagakure. After all, it isn't right for a newcomer such as you not to meet new people and see grand sights." He moved to lead Naruto to the registration area, but stopped. "Ah yes, come to me later in the afternoon. By then, I'll have found somewhere for you to live!"

Stopping at the door, he motioned for Naruto to follow him. "Naruto-kun… since you are new, I suppose you'll need a guide to lead you around?"

"Yeah."

The Tsuchikage pondered for a while as they walked through the hallways. "I've got it! I'll assign one of our Academy teams to lead you around as a mission!"

Naruto looked puzzled. "Academy team? What's that?"

The Kage stared, when realization hit him. "Oh, hahah! I forgot that Konoha doesn't do that sort of stuff. Over here in Iwa, we encourage the formation of teams early on to foster friendship and teamwork."

The blonde nodded understandingly. "Anyway, Tsuchikage-sama-"

"Ah, the name's Dainadare Katsu. You may call me Katsu-san or Katsu-sama. Tsuchikage is quite the long word, plus it makes me sound old."

"Heheh, I suppose it does, since Hokage-ojiisan is really old," Naruto commented.

Katsu smirked. "I feel sorry for the guy. He should've been living happily in retirement but he's still working his ass off with paperwork and all that other crap."

He sighed, and the two walked in silence until they reached the naturalization room. There, Katsu turned to Naruto. "Listen here Naruto, once you go in, you won't be coming out until you're an official citizen of Iwa. If there is anything that confuses you, don't hesitate to ask the officials for assistance. They try to look threatening on purpose, so that they don't have to help anyone."

Naruto grinned. "Sure thing, Katsu-san!" With that, Naruto walked calmly through the door to see… a bunch of tables, an even larger bunch of surly looking officials, and a huge bunch of paperwork. "Dear Kami-sama, I've never seen so much paper in my life," Naruto gasped. Indeed, the paperwork in the room reached six feet at certain points, and it certainly dwarfed young seven-year-old Naruto.

"Oi kid, what do you want?" one of the surly officials grunted.

Naruto snapped his head up. "Uh… I'm here to get… n-uh… naturalized."

The official stared before taking a stack of paper and dropping it in front of Naruto, causing the blonde's eyes to bulge out.

"Take a sheet and destroy the rest," the man told him. Naruto sighed in relief. Taking the top sheet, he pulled out a match that he had found several weeks ago. Finding nowhere to light it, he groaned and put it away. Taking out a small pocketknife he had gotten from the Sandaime Hokage two years previous to his escape, he proceeded to slice and dice the stack of papers. With that done, he looked up at the official expectantly.

"After you clean up that mess, come back and fill out your form." Naruto face vaulted to the floor, but followed the man's instructions nevertheless, though he swore under his breath all the while.

Mess cleaned up, he took a look at the sheet of paper in front of him. "Name… Uzumaki Naruto. Age? Seven years old… Hair color… yellow. Eye color… bright blue. Skin color… the hell?" Naruto walked up to a different official. "Sir, what color of skin do I have?"

The man took a quick glance at Naruto before muttering out a reply. "Medium tan."

Naruto nodded and returned to his paper. "Medium tan skin… Previous birthplace? Konoha, of course. Occupation? Umm…" He walked over to yet another official. "Sir, what's an occupation?" The reply was short and to the point. "Your job."

"Okay… my job is a… I don't have one. Oh well, I'll put none. Next, height and weight… The last time I checked, I was really short and weighed average…" Thus, Naruto jotted down 'really short' as his height and 'average' as his weight. When Katsu had eyed the sheet of paper after the naturalization, he had laughed aloud when he saw what Naruto had put down.

Back to the normal timeframe… Naruto had finished up the sheet of paper, ending the address part of the paper with an 'unknown.' Getting up, he walked over to what seemed the lead official. "Sir, I've finished my registration."

The man took the sheet of paper and read through it quickly. When he had reached certain parts of the paper, he had to stifle laughs. 'Height, really short; weight, average. IQ, really high, and location, in the naturalization room. Heheh, this boy cracks me up.'

Coughing, he straightened up and gave Naruto a look-over. "Alright kid, you're good to go. I don't know what a boy like you is doing in here without guardians, but it's none of my concerns. Off with you!" Shooing him out, he returned to staring at the ceiling.

Meanwhile, Naruto had bounded out of the room and was running to the Kage office as fast as possible. Slamming open the door, he burst inside to see a very surprised Katsu. "N-Naruto? Did you really have to be so sudden?" the red-haired man nearly yelled.

"Katsu-san! I'm done with naturalization. What now?" Naruto jumped up and down repeatedly, waiting for an answer. Katsu tiredly looked at the clock. 'It's three hours until the afternoon… What am I to do with this boy?' Sighing, he got up and went over to a cage with a bird inside. "Katsu-san? What are you doing?" Katsu wrote a quick letter and inserted it into a capsule on the bird's leg. "I'm sending for the Academy team that's to guide you around, Naruto. I'm sorry, but it's still so early that I haven't been able to find somewhere for you to live yet."

Naruto gave a toothy grin. "Not to worry! I just hope that this 'team' is nice."

"Oh, I just hope they'll be able to keep up with you, Naruto." Katsu grinned. "That's why I assigned our top first-year Academy team to guide you around."

"Why the top team?" he asked curiously.

Grimacing, Katsu looked out the window. "Because you're so hyperactive, Naruto. Any other team would be driven to madness. Not this team though, because they're the best. At least I hope…"

Turning back to Naruto, Katsu took in his features. 'He has spiky and unruly blonde hair… sapphire-blue eyes and a well-tanned skin. There are also his three whisker marks on each side of his face on either cheek. He reminds me so much of… the Yellow Flash… Could they be related in some way?' He shook these thoughts out of his head. 'I will deal with these problems when they arise. As for now, the boy needs guidance. I personally have no grudge against the Yellow Flash; he was a soldier who merely followed his orders. If by some chance Naruto happens to be his offspring… well that's much better for us, to have the child of the Leaf's most prominent Hokage under our forces…'

The door opened abruptly to reveal three young children. Naruto eyed each of them carefully. 'The first guy… he's got black hair and eyes and the sort of look that the bastard Uchihas gave everyone else… the kind of look where he feels he's better than everyone else… The second guy… he looks a lot like me, with that really happy smile and his kind eyes. He has strange orange hair though… At least I have the same blue eyes as him. The third guy… wait, that's a girl… she has blonde hair like me, but has green eyes… They all look my age.'

"Well Naruto, Academy Team 4 will be your guide for the day. Come back in a few hours and I'll have arranged housing for you." He sat down at his desk and began his paperwork. "To Team 4, I wish you the best of luck."

The first boy looked spitefully at Naruto. "We have to baby-sit this kid and guide him around town?" Said blonde growled at the insult. The orange haired kid stepped in between them. "Oi, let's keep the fighting to a low, okay?" He then turned to Naruto with a large smile. "Hi! My name is Shinseikoujo Ichigo, age eight. The 'I'm better than you' guy next to me is Wangetsuki Shourisha, or Shou for short. He's seven."

The final member of the team spoke for herself as she held out a hand. "I'm Fukyuubi Yumi, also age seven, and the final member of Academy Team 4. A pleasure to meet you…"

Naruto grasped her hand and shook it. "I'm Uzumaki Naruto. I have no team, and I'm going to become a powerful shinobi!"

Shou scoffed. "Like an loud dumbass like you can become powerful." Gritting his teeth, Naruto clenched his fists as Ichigo put a hand on his shoulder. "Don't mind him. He's been like this his entire life. I think his parents didn't love him enough…"

Laughing, Naruto recovered quickly from his outburst. "If he got like that because of not enough love, then I should be worse than him, because I've never been loved." This caught Shou's attention. Looking up and into Naruto's eyes, he could see pain underneath the happy eyes, though it was well hidden. 'So… he's never felt love…? I may have to reconsider this guy.'

"H-How does it feel to have not been loved?" Yumi asked. Naruto glared out the window. "It sucks, big time. Sometimes, you feel lonely because no one is there for you. Sometimes, you feel jealous of other kids who have actual families."

Ichigo looked downward. 'So he's an orphan… that sucks.'

"Sometimes, you feel sad because you don't know why the villagers attacked you," he continued. "Sometimes, you feel depressed from constantly receiving glares and insults and forced out of every single building. Sometimes… you just wish you could kill every single one of them…"

"Didn't anyone accept you?" Ichigo ventured to ask. "There has to be at least one."

Naruto nodded. "Yeah, there were a few. Sandaime Hokage ojiisan, Teuchi ojisan, Nara Shikaku san, and his kid, Nara Shikamaru."

Shou mentally counted the people. 'Four people, three adults and one kid… Out of the several thousand of Konoha's population, four accept him… the rest absolutely hate him. I seem to have found a new respect for this guy; a guy who's gone through so much and is still so… happy-go-lucky… I want to know how he did it.' Gritting his teeth, he vowed to find out. 'He's a hated orphan who lived seven years of his life bathed in the hate of others. If I can find out how he managed to become like this… Maybe, just maybe, I can change myself…'

Katsu growled. "If you're done, can you please talk outside my office? I have to do lots of paperwork, and I can't be disturbed. Now shoo!" The four children were shoved outside the room, albeit slightly pissed off, though none of them showed it.

'What's so important about damned paperwork, anyway?' Naruto thought furiously. 'Whatever it is, I'm not going to find out. Kami-sama help me, if being a Kage means lots of paperwork, screw it!' Attention returning to Team 4, he turned to the obvious peacemaker, Ichigo. "So… where do we go first? I'm new after all, and I don't know my way around town."

Ichigo cheered loudly. "Let's go to the ramen stand first!"

"WHAT? THERE'S RAMEN? LET'S GO!" Naruto roared back. The two of them immediately took off, Ichigo in front leading Naruto. Shou sweatdropped and Yumi sighed. "Great, he's a ramen-addict too," she groaned.

It wasn't long before Yumi and Shou had arrived at the ramen stand. It was about five minutes since Ichigo and Naruto had run off. When they had entered though, Shou could see at least five empty bowls of ramen for each boy. 'How the hell do they eat so much?' Shou thought curiously. Yumi groaned again. "He even eats as much as Ichigo…"

Shou stared at the orange and blonde haired kids. "…How are they going to pay for that?" he wondered aloud. One man sitting next to Naruto shook his head in disbelief. "Do they have black holes for their stomachs?"

When it looked like the two wouldn't stop eating the ramen, Shou and Yumi each took one of the boys by the collar and dragged them away. "Put it on our tab!" Yumi called to the owner before leaving. It was ten meters away before either Naruto or Ichigo was let down from being dragged. "NO, MY RAMEN!" Naruto moaned. Ichigo wept anime tears, and assumed the fetal position. Five minutes passed with no change in the two, and Shou had just about had enough.

"GOD DAMMIT! STOP MOPING AROUND LIKE THAT AND LET'S GET A MOVE ON! WE DON'T HAVE ALL DAMNED DAY YOU KNOW!" he roared at the top of his lungs. Naruto and Ichigo were shocked out of their act and quickly stood up. "Come on, we have places to go to, and I don't need to waste any more time watching your antics." Shou immediately set off, forcing the two boys to grudgingly fall in step with him. Not long after, Naruto was seen running around town…

In the span of three hours, Naruto had run everyone on Team 4 ragged, Ichigo excluded. In these three hours, Team 4 had run all over town, explaining buildings as they ran and ran through streets and intersections to keep up with the hyperactive boy. It was with great pleasure, and displeasure on Ichigo's part, to finally tell the Tsuchikage that the mission was a success.

Katsu clapped his hands together. "Good work, Team 4! Here is your pay, in the proper amount of a 'C-Rank' mission." Shou and Yumi deadpanned. 'It seems that he knew how troublesome the kid was…'

Turning to Naruto, Katsu shuffled through his drawers a bit until he found what he was looking for. "Aha!" He then turned to hand a key to the blonde boy. "Naruto, this will be your new address, which you will be living in." Remembering, Katsu then shuffled around for pen and paper, and wrote down the address itself. "Team 4, I expect for you to escort Naruto to his new house on your way home."

Yumi was about to retort when Ichigo clapped his hands over her mouth. "We'd be delighted to take up that offer, Tsuchikage-sama!" This received hot glares from the other two members of his team. Without looking at them, Ichigo took the paper and looked at it. "HOLY COW!" he shouted. Shou and Yumi leaned in to get a look at the address themselves. "What in the…" "Oh. My. God."

"What? What?" Naruto repeatedly asked them, confused. "What's wrong with the address?" Ichigo took hold of Naruto and led him outside. "You'll see when we get there, Naruto."

Ichigo led the group, street-by-street, avenue-by-avenue. Soon enough, they were at an area with barely any people around. "Where the hell are we? Are we lost? If we aren't, where's my house?" Naruto rambled off one question after another, but was quickly halted by Ichigo's hand. "We're here. Machi no Tsuchi." Naruto looked onto the street and gasped aloud. Large, three-story buildings adorned the sides of the road. "Is this where all the rich people live?" he asked in awe. Shou nodded silently.

They walked from house to house, in search of Naruto's. "Machi no Tsuchi… number 312. This is it." The four of them looked up to see something strange. "The house… it has four stories?" Yumi asked in confusion. "The hell…?" Shou muttered. Ichigo stared at the house, then at the surrounding houses. "How strange… why is this house different?"

Naruto ran to the door and pulled out his key. "Who cares? I have my own house now, yahoo!" Inserting the key, he quickly unlocked the front door and opened it. "Holy hell…" The entrance hall was quite large, to say the least. "The entrance is as big as my old damn apartment back in Konoha," Naruto gasped. Shou shoved him inside and closed the door. "And good riddance! I thought this torture would never end."

Before he could take three more steps, the second story window opened up and… "I'll see you guys tomorrow!" Team 4 was shocked into silence, which was broken a moment later by Ichigo's cheering and Yumi's weeping. Shou continued to stare at the blonde in disbelief.

'Curse you Kami-sama…'

Jutsu List

Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique) - D-Rank - The user uses chakra to activate the body, moving from one point to another in the blink of an eye. This jutsu can be modified for long-range use, much like the way Kakashi uses it to teleport to different places around Konoha.
