CHAPTER 1: THE EARLY LIFE OF NARUTO

Naruto was not a happy child at the age of 9. Why you may ask? His parents were both S-Rank ninja, highly respected figures in Konohagakure no Sato. His twin sister was the container for the Kyubi no Yoko, mightiest of the biju. His family was hailed as the saviours of Konoha. So why on Earth would he be unhappy?

Well you see, this is a long story. At the age of 1, he had learnt how to pronounce most everyday common words, able to manage a brief run, while Narumi was still learning how to speak more than 4 words, those being "Ramen, Kaa-chan, Tou-chan, Nii-chan". However, when both his parents learned of this amazing achievement, they merely gave him a passing glance and a brief congratulations. No "I'm proud of you son", or "You're really amazing Naru-chan". Only "Good job Naruto". This was his first encounter with neglect, disappointment and pain.

At 4 years old, he was forced to watch Minato and Kushina train Narumi in controlling her monstrous chakra reserves, given by the Kyubi and the genetics of the Uzumaki Clan. When he also requested for this training, he was denied as they said "I'm sorry son, but we need to focus our attention onto Narumi because the Kyubi may try to break her will with its malicious chakra. To rectify this, she will be needing special training, unlike you. We'll just train you when you're in the academy.". Naruto, hearing this, closed his eyes in an effort to stop the tears from crashing down. At that moment, a small part of his heart was broken off.

Over the course of 5 years small parts of his heart slowly broke down into fragments, until he finally gave up on hope, and lost himself. Clinging to life by himself, all he knew was sadness, anger, fear, despair, as he wandered throughout life with no guidance, support. All until that day...

***TIMESKIP: NARUTO (9 YEARS OLD)***

Naruto, wandering through the forest with no complete sense of direction after another pain-filled day of seeing Narumi being congratulated by Minato and Kushina, came across a long silver-haired girl and a pale blue barrette clip on the back of her head sleeping peacefully against the trunk of a tree. Immediately a blush erupted on his face because he thought she was beautiful than any female he had laid eyes on...She...She was like an angel, peacefully resting with nature beside her. Curiously taking a step closer, he saw that she was wearing a white dress with a gardener's hat beside her, and she was around the same age as him. Deciding to not disturb the sleeping angel, he, too rested against the same trunk...

The girl woke up to seeing a red-haired boy, roughly around the same age as her, sleep next to her. She then examined the boy's features. Messy red hair, wearing a white polo shirt with black cargo pants, she shook her head upon recognizing this boy. He was the child of Hokage-sama and Kushina-sama, brother of the Saviour of Konoha. However, she did notice that he always lingered behind his parents and sister, like he wasn't meant to be with them. Curious at why would the son of the Hokage be sleeping next to her, she shook him awake, finding his amethyst eyes to be quite, in his opinion, beautiful.

Groggily trying to stop a yawn, he blearily opened his eyes to see one of the most cutest girls that had honey yellow eyes, with her head cocked to the side and staring at him. The girl then asked him "Ano...what's your name?" "Mine is...Naruto, what about yours, Tenshi-hime?". The girl, turning her head away upon hearing "Tenshi-hime", had a faint blush as she replied "Tachibana, Tachibana Kanade." Naruto only gasped in amazement, as her name suited her really well, playing a chord. As they introduced each other, a deep bond began to form inside both of them, as each day they returned to this clearing, sharing their past, life, future, dreams, and hope to each other.

A year later, at the age of 10, the two met Sasuke, the second son of Fugaku Uchiha, the leader of the Uchiha Clan. They met while Naruto and Kanade was walking through the park, only to meet a moody kid gritting his teeth practicing Katon: Goukayu no Jutsu against a river before fainting. Eyes wide and gasps heard, the two rushed over and brought him to the hospital, before several members of the Uchiha Clan, including the head, Fugaku Uchiha and his wife, Mikoto Uchiha both came over and thanked them profusely. The kid, who they found out was Sasuke Uchiha, had a desire to be treated equally as his elder brother Itachi, and not standing in the shadow. His desire, inspired Naruto to do the same, to become a shinobi and prove himselves to his family, and from that day on both of them would regularly meet up to practice together, while Kanade watched. She had no desire to become a shinobi, as she didn't want to see needless bloodshed, but if she didn't she may lose time with meeting Naruto-kun and Sasuke-kun, as a life of a shinobi was incredibly secretive. She still had a couple of months to decide, so she would wait then and choose.

Naruto, although practicing with Sasuke, always made time for Kanade, usually pulling her to eat dinner with the Uchiha Clan, chatting with her, or pulling her to witness how Shisui and Itachi were arguing, which never failed to amuse her. The Uchiha Clan had become a sort of surrogate family for Naruto and Kanade. Fugaku was sort of a stern father who secretly smiled at the antics but acted tough on the outside, Mikoto became the caring mother that gave Naruto love, and guided and taught Kanade how to express herself, while Sasuke and Naruto were brothers in all but blood, with Itachi and Shisui watching from the shadows, occasionally messing around as well.

It was now May, and the deadline to apply to the Shinobi Academy was closer and closer. Kanade, feeling insecure, went to the only person she could confess her fears to, Naruto. The two met up during an afternoon, two weeks before the final applications would close. Kanade bited her lip, before asking "Naruto-kun...Do you think I should become a shinobi? I don't want to hurt people, but many shinobi kill...I only want to help people, but not kill them..." Naruto had also a sad look on his face, as he did not want to part with Kanade, as shinobi and civilian do not mix well together..."How about you join first, if you don't like it, I will also quit being a shinobi, I can't bear to live without you!", making Kanade widen her eyes and a faint blush appear. Suddenly a new voice, but one that they were familiar with, Sasuke Uchiha."Don't be so corny, Naruto, but Kanade, everyone's worried about you, but luckily Kaa-san came up with a great idea. You can be a genin who does virtually no killing, just basic D-Rank missions, then do the Chunin Exams and transfer to the Medic, so you can help people instead of you know, killing them." Kanade and Naruto widened their eyes at this brilliant solution, as Mikoto appeared and ruffled Kanade's hair "There there Kanade-chan, everything's gonna be alright now, and next time don't go to Naru-chan, we're more smarter than him"

"HEY!" was the only response as Fugaku, Itachi and Shisui all appeared and laughed at Naruto. Glad that she could stay with Naruto and Sasuke, Kanade let out one of her few rare smiles and eagerly nodded!
