Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto

"What's going on? Where is everyone?" Naruto yelled out loud as he stood in the once populated streets of Konoha.

Konoha was a wasteland. Everyone he knew and loved was dead, murdered in cold blood right in front of his own eyes, and there was absolutely nothing he could do about it. Why, you ask? He couldn't stop it, because this man was far too strong. Stronger then anyone else he had ever seen. Even stronger then the own Hokage! It was all to surreal. He couldn't believe it!

"Who are you?" Naruto asked, and backed away in fear as the man in question stepped towards the shaking boy, holding out his hand.

"NO! Stay away from me!" Naruto yelled out as the older man advanced. He backed away in fear. This man…he was insane! How could anyone be so cruel?

"Kukuku, Naruto-kun, that's no way to speak to your father, is it?" The man asked, and Naruto's eyes widened. This man couldn't be his father! Naruto would never, ever kill his own comrades!

"W…what? My father? No! My father wouldn't do anything like that!" Naruto yelled out. This man had to be lying!

"You don't know that Naruto-kun. No one has ever spoken of me, so how do you know what I would or wouldn't do? You notice how people turn away in anger and disgust when you try and ask about me." The man said, coming closer and closer to Naruto, who, in return, backed up.

"N…No! This isn't how I wanted it!" Naruto said as he slumped up against a wall, and slide down, tears slowly streaming down his face. It was too hard to believe.

"Come join me Naruto-kun, and I'll explain everything to you. I'll explain what they did to me, I'll tell you how horrible the people of Konoha are, and how horrible my teammates are!" The man yelled out angrily.

"I…I don't know! I don't even know your name!"

"That's easy Naruto-kun, it's-"

BEEP BEEP BEEP

"AHHHH!" Naruto yelled as he sat up on his bed, sweat dripping down his forehead. His whole body was shaking, and he was sweating a lot. He grabbed his small alarm clock and turned it off, making the loud and annoying beeping go away.

Uzumaki Naruto was 13 years old today. He was a Genin. And he still had no clue who his father was. It wouldn't have bothered him as much if people didn't give him cold glares whenever he mentioned his father. It was always the same thing…His dream was always cut off before he found out who his father was. Although he hated that dream, he really wished that he would be able to see the mans face. But it was only a dream, so if he saw the mans face, could it truly be his fathers? Then again, everything the man said in the dream was partially true. Whenever Naruto asked about his father, people turned away in anger and disgust.

Naruto looked around his room for a moment. There were pictures of ramen, a calendar and his precious picture of Team seven stood up proudly on his nightstand. He grabbed it and starred at it.

'I should stop worrying. I don't need a father anymore. I have Iruka-sensei, and I have more people that care about me. I have Sasuke, Sakura-chan, and Kakashi-sensei. I don't need a father.' Naruto said to himself as he placed the picture back on the night stand gently, as if it would break if he wasn't careful.

'I have no reason to be so sad! From now on, I won't worry about who my father is!'

"Naruto! Hurry up or we'll be late!" Sakura's voice came through his window as she banged on It harshly, trying to get Naruto to hurry up.

"Eh? Sakura-chan?" Naruto said as he got up out of his bed. The Chuunin exam was starting today. Kakashi-sensei had enrolled them despite the fact that many other sensei's said they weren't ready. But Kakashi believed they were. But Sasuke, Sakura, and Naruto weren't the only rookies entering the chuunin exam. The rookie nine, consisting of Chouji, Ino, Shikamaru, Shino, Hinata, and Kiba as well As Naruto's team, would be entering the Chuunin exam. The rookie 9 was what people called them now.

"Coming Sakura-chan!" Naruto said as he quickly got dressed and threw open the door. Outside, Sasuke and Sakura were waiting for him.

"Well! What are you waiting for! Let's go!" Naruto said as the three left together to meet their sensei at the academy, which was where the first part of the chuunin exam would take place.

"Hn, this is it? I would think that there would be more people." Sasuke said as the trio walked around the Academy, which was where the first part was taking place. There were ninja's that had come from various other villages. There was a certain person that caught Team 7's interest. There was a young boy from Sand. He had fiery red hair, and a tattoo that said 'love' on his forehead.

"Eeek!" A little girl yelled out as another boy from sound grabbed her.

"NO! Let me go!" She yelled out, struggling in his grasp.

"Oi! Let go of Moegi!" Naruto yelled out as he charged towards the Sand boy, but the other boy from Sand jumped in front of him.

"Eh?"

"Kankuro, let her go or I'll kill you." The boy with the red hair said.

"Yes Gaara." Kankuro said, releasing Moegi, who ran off.

"Hn, Gaara eh?" Sasuke said, taking a mental note to check up on him later on. There was something weird about him. Something weird about the way he talked to the other boy. He seemed to know that he could have control over any situation.

"So, Naruto-kun is taking the Chuunin exam? That's quite interesting Kabuto. I want you to keep a close eye on him, and tell me how he does. I do hope Konoha has treated my son well these past 13 years. They should be quite surprised when we attack. Although, that is quite surprising. It was the fault of this village that my son was taken away from me. Did they honestly think I wouldn't come back for revenge?" Orochimaru said as he looked down at Kabuto, who was currently kneeling in front of him.

"Yes, I will do everything I can to watch after him. From what I heard, he grew up to be a very interesting boy." Kabuto said, smirking. The sun gleamed down on his glasses, covering his eyes.

"Ah yes, I heard that as well. He is nothing like me. He's just like his mother and uncle."

"He wants to become Hokage, don't you find that interesting?" Kabuto asked.

"Yes, interesting. Kukuku, I wonder what everyone has told him about his father. But that's beside the point. Go Kabuto!"

"Yes, Orochimaru-sama." And with that, he was gone.

"Wow! There's a pretty good amount of people here!" Sakura said as she glanced around. There were people sitting down, standing up, and leaning on random places on the wall.

"Eh? Look at their forehead protectors. They have a music note on them. Sound? Is that even a hidden village?" Naruto asked no one in particular.

"Well yes it is Naruto-kun, but it's not one of the five great Shinobi Villages. It's fairly new." A man said. Naruto turned around. The man was rather tall, and he wore a very plain outfit. He had grey hair tied into a ponytail and he wore glasses. He was also holding what looked like a deck of cards.

"Oh. That's interesting," Naruto said as his eyes rested on the deck of cards. "What are those?" He asked, pointing to the deck.

"Oh these? They're information cards. I can find any ninja from any village. Would you like to see?" Kabuto asked as he kneeled down, and placed the deck on the floor.

"Yes, Gaara from Suna." Sasuke said. Kabuto placed his hand on the deck and pulled out the top card. He showed it to the three rookies.

"Gaara of Sunagakure. Not much information actually. He doesn't seem anything out of the ordinary, anything else?" Kabuto asked.

"No, that's all." Naruto said, and Kabuto glanced at Naruto from the corner of his eye.

'He certainly did grow up in an interesting way Orochimaru-sama. He's so much like his mother and uncle, but I can see you deep within him.'

I updated! So many people thought that this was a dead story, but it's not! Don't worry! It's still going on! I'd never give this up.

I was, to say the least, shocked at the amount of reviews I got for this! WOW! Thanks so much. I never expected to get that many on only 2 chapters! You guys all rock!

Oh, and I have a question. I'm not saying this is going to happen, but it's jus a test. If I were to add couples in this, what would you all want? Anything at all, just let me know. It's just a test for my own knowledge.
