Chapter 1

But this was not a problem that would streach for a long time. The reason being...

Well since Hinata and Sasuke's mother's, Hisa and Mikoto respectively, would see her and speak of her condition to their husbands, Hiashi and Fugaku. Not that they themselves didn't do anything to ensure that the message reached the Hokage. Glaring a little at him whenever he happened to be in his house and subtely trying to hint him of the predicament that his wife was in.

Both Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha were good friends to the Hokage, seperately though; due to their dojutsu rivalry and what-not. So after showing a bit of reluctance they eventually agreed to have a little 'talk' with the Hokage-no, Minato Namikaze, the person they grew up with.

And Minato was dumbstruck.

Right down horrified.

And at the end of the 'explaination' from both Hiashi and Fugaku he was disgusted with himself. How could he be so blind to the woman he loved the most?

But Minato Namikaze was a practical man and saw no good in just sitting their and greiving.

So later that night, after all the occupants of the house had apparently gone to sleep. We find Minato hiraishining to his house, more precisely their bed, and startling his wife by kissing the brains out of her. Then he rested his forehead against her's and looked into her eyes and just stayed like that for some time.

Kushina eventually got the matter. She acknowledged his silent apology and forgave him with one last kiss before they went to sleep while embracing each other.

The damage, however, was already done.

Naruto, the little boy was constantly, though not intentionaly, ignored by his mother. All due to the fact that his sister was "Special" as his mother would say.

He never got that. Wasn't he also special? Wasn't he also his mother's precious little child?

Don't get her wrong, she loved both her children.

But Naruko was always a little more cute and a little more jumpy than her brother, much like Kushina was when she was her age. So Kushina had to constantly divert her attention to her little Naruko. And four year old Naruto was by now used to this seclusion. He would often ask his mother with the best puppy-dog eyes that he could manage "Please play with me too Kaa-chan". And Kushina would melt.

But the effect was not everlasting. She would eventually turn to Naruko... again.

Minato, now here, also started to followed her example. More so because he felt obliged to partake in all of her activities as a form of repentence for leaving her alone.

But he always played that extra minute with Naruto, spend that little extra time tucking him in for the night. All due to the fact that Naruto seemed to be an almost replica of himself when he was a child. This resulted in Naruto to look foreward to see his father home every night.

Not that it was a bad thing right? I mean a little boy loved to see his father home. Even if it was for a few hours before going to sleep.

There's nothing wrong with that. But Kushina failed to notice that less excitement in his eyes during the whole day.

TIME SKIP - 2 YEARS

Now we find little Naruto 6 years old. He was sitting on a little swing that his parents put up for him and his sister, holding a rust colored book in his hands. His face was currently one of lonliness and broody like a certain Uchiha from canon universe.

What bought this on?

Well six years of continously being compared to your sibling, having your parents focus their attention on her rather than you would do that to a person. Though he never held it against them.

His parents had revealed to them the cause of Naruko getting 'special' treatment.

Naruko had run-off to the woods for a complete day and no-one was able to find her. In the end, Naruto had somehow managed to find her. She had been crying the whole day.

Naruto was able to comfort her by letting her cry into his chest, all the while whispering soothing things into her ears and telling her that "it's ok" and "we love you all the same".

Yes, he understood that being a Jinchuriki was a dangerous job and being a parent to them was rather demanding. He loved his sister the most in the world but a little extra time for him would certainly not be that difficult to arrange, would it?

If one would care to follow him and observe, they would think that he is a little bit too mature for his age, with the understanding, the acceptance for his current state, and even the manner with which he adderessed people.

Overall he was a polite young boy who was caring, respectful, and cute. Exactly the material for old ladies to fuss over and to be posed as an ideal child for their children and grandchildren to look-up to. But he didnt care about all that. All he wanted was attention and love from his family. Not that he didnt have it, but a little more that he craved.

With blond hair, a square jaw, and an attire with a kite symbolising the Namikaze clan on his back, he looked exactly like a mini-Minato resulting in people instantly recognising him as 'son of the yellow flash' or 'Namikaze-sama'. He never liked those names. It was like he was always walking in his father's shadow.

"If not for the whiskers, he would look exactly like Minato did when he was younger" were some of the constant reminders that people would give him of his parentage.

This affected him dually. His respect for his father grew but it also developed a sort of annoyance towards him.

Also, though as a side-effect, he grew an extreme liking for his whiskers and would often display them with pride, like a lion showing-off his mane. Althogh he never could figure out what they exacly were.

Currently, he was sitting on that swing brooding due to another one of the rejections by his parents of his request for them to train him too, like Naruko.

By now it was a common occurence and Naruto paid no mind to it. Whenever he wanted to learn anything, he would have to search his clan's library for a scroll on that and then find an off-duty Jonin to teach him that skill. One of the perks of being son to the Hokage was that people didnt usually reject you for anything less than 'Extremely Important'. But he knew that it was all just to get into his father's good books. Well, he would take any oppurtunity that he could get his hands on.

As a result, his taijutsu was already genin level thanks to spars with a bushy-browed, bowel-cut haired, green spandex clad youthful jonin and a mini clone of his.

His ninjutsu was also at genin level as he knew a good number of jutsus but was not extremely proficient in any of them due to a certain silver-haired Anbu who was the epitome of laziness.

Genjutsu, he never payed any serious thought to that.

Fuinjutsu, that accounted of the only help he had recieved from his parents in his small life. Each time he would scream at top off his lungs for some training, his parents would hand him a book on fuinjutsu. But as he got older, he knew where those books were kept and would take one of them.

As of now, he was a t fuinjutsu level 3, nothing short of a miracle for a 6 year old because most jonins never got higher than level 2 which covers the basic storage and explosive seals. Since there was no fuinjutsu teacher available to him, he mostly practiced by himself in that art.

Back in the Present though,

He decided to let-off some steam by one of his walks through the town which would finally end up on the top of Hokage Mountain, specefically the head of the Shodaime. This was a major calmer for him. He always felt at ease there.

While walking by the stream, he noticed a boy of around his age, dark hair and onyx eyes. If this wasn't an indicator enough, the white-red fan on his back made it clear that this was the fresh harvest of emos from the Uchiha clan. He didnt hate them, just didnt like the stick... no thats too short, the freaking tree lodged up their backs.

Sasuke, the said boy, noticed the son of the Hokage, while just about to return from his walk, looking towards him. "Hello" Sasuke said politely but nobley to the blonde. This was a strange yet pleasant surprise for young Naruto to see an Uchiha that was not a stuck-up idiot.

"Hi" Naruto greeted. "Whats your name?" he questioned back.

"Sasuke. And yours?"

"Naruto" was the reply that Sasuke got.

The next few minutes were spent exchanging pleasantaries. They shared each other's views on public, their stupidity. They discussed about their families and Sasuke was busy praising his Itachi nii-san and Shisui whereas Naruto was the same with Naruko and a bit on Kakashi too. They even discussed about their lives and they each found out about the living-up-to-the-expectations problems they each got courtesy of their respective parents and siblings. Though they didnt know why, but they enjoyed each others's presence.

Eventually the topic of discussion turned to training.

"I am trained by Shisui and Itachi nii-san" Sasuke said.

"Why? Dont your parents teach you?" Naruto asked confused.

Sasuke hesitated for a few moments before he spoke "No... Father is always too busy training nii-san. He rarely has time for me and whenever he does, lets just say it ends with me panting on the ground with little to no advancement and father leaving with a remark about how I should be more like Itachi. It's always about Itachi with him. Itachi this- Itachi that. "Why couldn't you be more like Itachi?". It's as if everytime he looks at me, all he sees is a mistake. A mistake that was foolish of him to commit." finished Sasuke with a slight grimace.

Naruto was shocked. Sasuke's situation was practically the same as his. Though his parents didnt express it verbally, but each time they had sent him away, their thoughts were clear. Clear enough that he could imagine himself listening to them saying these words while sending him off to train on his own. He felt sad for Sasuke as he too would have gone through the lonliness in his life. But secretly he felt happy that he was not alone and decided to be open about his family too.

"My parents are the same with Naruko taking up most of their time".

Sasuke was just about ready to hear his sympathies as he had heard from many would-be fangirls their age but was caught off-guard with Naruto's statement.

Slowly, Sasuke risked a glance at his... friend? His eyes were a display of unshed tears, pain and determination. Much too simmilar to the eyes that gazed back at him from the mirror each morning.

"So you too huh?" Sasuke said. It was more of a statement than a question.

They gazed out to the village that seemed so little before them,from the head of the Shodaime that they both found themselves on.

"Yup..." Naruto replied. "They just don't understand, do they? Always comparing. Naruko was more active than me when we were toddlers and would take-up most of their time as well as showed just a tiny bit more stamina than me. That was the fissure point. They paid more attention to her. Then the comparisons started. And now, they would just assume that she's better than me in almost everything and dont even bother to train me anymore."

Nothing more was said as they just sat there enjoying the sunset, the silence and each others's company.

"It's getting late. I have to get back... See you later. Same time?" Sasuke asked.

Naruto nodded and asked"Tommorow?" Sasuke nodded to which Naruto replied with a smile "I'll look foreward to it".

And with that Sasuke left. Naruto sat down on the head of the Shodiame for a little while and eventually left for his home with a smile. He knew tommorow was going to be an interesting day.

Later at home, Naruto walks in with a smile and an unusual excitement in his step.

Naruko just waves and welcomes him home to which Naruto flashes his bright smile as acknowledgment.

Kushina peeps out of the kitchen to see her son running upstairs. Normaly, she would have shrugged it off, but something about that smile that Naruto displayed earlier was different. It was not one of his regular ones that would suite a young, noble and well-mannered boy. There was something more... real.. about it, infectious... as Kushina caught her lips tugging upwards slightly.

Minato came home late that night, Mumbling incoherently about giant mountains of paperwork and stupid singleminded civillians who couldn't even scratch their own ass without ninja helping them.

He opened the refridgerator and found his dinner cold as heck. So after heating it up with a small Katon, he ate his dinner in a wierd silence. Something about darkness and silence in his own house seemed to bother him and would always encourage him to finish-up his work early.

He went upstairs after finishing up and laid down on the bed beside his wife. Said woman yawned, which Minato still found to be rather amusing, and slowly opened a single eye to see her husband next to her. She snuggled up to him and mumbled something.

Minato, not being able to catch what was said just asked dumbly "What?". Kushina pulled her head out of his shoulder to find Minato looking straight into her eyes. Something about those cerulean orbs always seemed to mesmerize her. So she forgot about her little concern related to Naruto and just kissed him on the cheek and fell asleep again.

Minato just chuckled slightly so as to not wake his wife again and closed his eyes. Neither of them noticed the light left on in Naruto's room.

The said person was busy practicing calligraphy for his fuinjutsu skills. It is a rather important aspect of fuinjutsu that, if mastered, could easily make you proficient in seals or could just as easily make them blow-up in your face and turn you into a bloody mess of flesh and brain matter.

Not a good way to go.

So keeping up with his calligraphy had become something sort of a routine excercise for Naruto. He would do it whenever he was bored or when he was injured and could no longer train. It was a good time-pass. Something which our blonde seriously needed due to the fact that his excitement of meeting with Sasuke was not going to let him sleep any time soon.

After mindlessly scribbling for about an hour or so, sleep cought-up to him.

'Tommorow would be eventful' were his last thoughts before he drifted off to sleep.

The Next Day

Naruto followed his regular schedule of waking up at 3:30, washing himself, preparing and having a quick bite.

Then he left to train with his youthful taijutsu sensei and his apprentice, the duo of which start their training at four. After three hours of mindless training and Naruto turning into a writhing mess later, he leaves to find a certain silver haired Anbu, who can usually be found spending time at the memorial stone and still refuses to reveal his name, for for his ninjutsu practice.

Another 3 hours later, he limps to the Ichiraku Ramen to have his breakfast.

This shop was run by a father-daughter pair named Teuchi and Ayame respectively. They are some of the only people who seem to understand his... problems... and treat him like they would any normal citizen.

Well as normal as someone in case of Naruto can be.

The blonde was a literal bottomless pit when it came to ramen, or as he would call it, "Food of the gods".

If you ever wanted to win a bet against an Akimichi in terms of food, bring them to the Ichiraku stand for some one-on-one with Naruto. Chozaru, Choza's (Clan Head of the Akimichi's) brother, would ascertain that fact as he had lost, on multiple occasions, against this little ramen eating monster and had to wear a small flag depicting Naruto standing victorious over him with ramen in the background. It was a depressing experience for the said Akimichi who had woved to someday beat him at his own game.

While wandering through the village, Naruto came across the academy, a place he would have to enroll in the next year.

So he decided to inspect his to-be learning place and started to comb through the place room by room. He saw the classrooms, the storage rooms for weapons, and training grounds. It was a sunday so there was no one to bother him not counting the birds sitting on the tree outside which would occasionly chirp to make themselves known.

As his tour of the academy came to an end, he found himself in the forest behind the training grounds of the academy. It was a little weird to find a training ground in the academy when all they did there was throw shurikens and kunais at the stumps and once a week spars that would be done inside a small circle, something that he found out from his fellow taijutsu student Lee.

"Seriously what is the point in having an entire field for that?" Naruto asked no-one in perticular.

But got a reponse in the form of a pained scream. His sensitive ears picked-up the frail noise and instantly pinpointed it's origin. It came from the woods behind him. So, to help the person in need, Naruto took off in that direction.

He suddendly stopped as he came across a trio of children surrounding a much smaller girl, who by the looks of it was around his age.

They were harassing her and calling her the 'Byakugan Freak'. Not just that, but accusing the girl to be thinking that she was better than them. None of this was Naruto able to picture the little girl doing. Her face was too innocent for that.

But he knew better than to judge a book by it's cover. His doubts, however, were gone when he heard a faint "forgive me". It came from the said girl whose voice was now trembling. One of the bully's was about to hit her again when suddenly Naruto arrived holding the bully's hand in a vice grip. His hair were covering his eyes which gave him a shady look.

The group was taken aback.

"LET. HER. GO." Naruto spoke with contained anger and leaked a small amount of killing intent.

FLASHBACK

The masked Anbu with the silver gravity defying hair was as usual training Naruto in their regular training grounds.

It was another one of the speed and agility training that the scarecrow was so fond of.

Naruto, however was slacking today. He was tired of the morning practice and wanted to do some jutsu training. Not that he didn't get any, but it was still not to his liking. Kakashi, however noticed it and decided to teach Naruto a lesson to never slack off in his training.

To do that, he started to radiate a small amount of KI. Naruto instantly froze. Seeing that, Kakashi slowly started to increase his KI to the point when Naruto was throwing up.

"Whha... Som-one... H-help... me..." Was all Naruto could say. He was suddenly forced from casually jumping and avoiding obstacles to lean over and puke his entire stomach out, barely supressing the desire-no... need to just crawl away and die in a hole somewhere.

Kakashi walked over to him and sat beside him, still reading his orange book.

"That, my little pup, is killing intent. The power to force your will onto any other's. All chunin and above know how to do it. It instills a feeling of fear in the intended target and forces them to give-in." Kakashi spoke in a monotone.

"This is something that you will have to face as a ninja. In fact, KI alone can help you complete many missions. Like when you have to kill some weak-willed politician, you can just end his life by suddenly producing a large amount of it and making his heart stop in mere seconds. Something that Anbu make great use of." By now, he had dropped his KI and Naruto was standing on his feet, something which surprised Kakashi.

Though what came next, Kakashi would have never expected.

"Lets do that again" were Naruto's words filled with bravery.

Kakashi could understand Naruto's reasoning as soon as he said it.

The boy wanted to be able to hold his own against KI. Well, he would get what he wanted. Kakashi wasn't called a sadist by his fellow Anbu for nothing.

And so, in time, Naruto learned how to give out KI of his own.

END FLASHBACK

This sudden declaration mixed with a small amount of KI was enough for the bully to piss himself and pass-out. The other two, however, just came at him as the KI was-not directed at them.

Fools.

None of them knew how to fight, nor had any brains if one of them passing out right infront of them was any indicator as they still tried to fight.

Keyword TRIED.

Naruto easliy weaved through their hastily thrown punches and occasional kicks and knocked them both out with an elbow to each of thier solar plexus while he swiftly twisted between them.

No major injury caused. Targets nullified. It was swift, clean and precise, just as his Inu-masked Anbu sensei had tought.

Then he turned around to face the mop of blue hair who was just looking at him with wide, pale, pupil-less eyes. Something which he found extremely beautiful. The girl was also blushing and muttered something inaudible.

"What?" was Naruto's reply as he didn't get that.

"Th-thank y-you." The girl said again, blushing a little.

Naruto just smiled brightly at her, showing his complete spotless dental and gave her his hand.

The girl's blush just grew a deeper shade of red as she stood up. "It was no problem" Naruto said. "What's your name?" he asked.

The girl again blushed and replied"H-Hinata Hyuga".

Naruto seemed thoughtful for a second and then spoke "So thats why you look familliar. You are the daughter of Hiashi Hyuga right? The current clan head of the Hyuga. I've met your father a few times when he comes to visit my dad." Naruto spoke cheerfuly.

Hinata blushed again at his cheerful voice and just nodded with a "H-hai".

"Well my name is Naruto Namikaze" He spoke again.

Hinata's eyes grew wide again as his looks stuck home. 'How come I didn't notice it before, he looks exactly like the yondaime'.

"I-It's nice t-to meet you N-Namikaze-sama" Hinata spoke in the well-mannered tone like she had been tought.

Naruto shrugged at this and said "Just Naruto will do". "O-okay... Naruto-kun" said Hinata and blushed again.

Kö, who had been watching the duo for the duration of this conversation intervend now and bowed.

"You have my sincerest thanks and of the Hyuga clan for helping Hinata-Sama. But I'm affraid we have to take leave now. Hiashi-sama must be expecting us." Saying that he took Hinata's hand and Hinata spoke in a hurried voice "Thank you" to Naruto and left.

Naruto just stared dumbly at the exchange that took place. He didn't even get the guy's name who had just suddenly appeared, thanked him and left with his new firend Hinata.

Eventually he just chalked it up to strange Hyugas and their strange behaviour.

Well, atleast he had something interesting to do today and it was already nearing the time to visit Sasuke at the Hokage monument.

And now he had a story to tell.

And that was it for this week.

Hope you liked the chapter so dont forget to review.

These chapters are essential for character building and provide a background to the story so they might seem a little boring.

Well,

Review response time

HellaDope: I'm trying to do so. Thanx for reviewing and helping me keep on track.

Guest: Glad that you like it. I hope to keep it up to your expectations.

lolitagirl.2015b: Thanx and I'm happy that you like it. It's reviews like these that make writing all the more fun.

massone22: Yup and I hope to keep it up to your expectations.

frozem1: Thanx for reviewing and I'll keep up the work.

NemesisDrive: As I said, the chapters were essential for background building as I've been told by my English teachers. So I thought a prologue would help keep things straight. The subsequent chapters will have our main characters, rest assured.

Darklight-Dragon21: I do not take it so. But yup I've got the idea from other stories that depict Naruto as 'Neglected'. Well the idea was appealing and there was quiet a liking for this category on the site. But I decided to write one on the topic because of the very reasons that you mentioned. The stories are sometimes not up to the mark and sometimes they are not updated. In my opinion that's just sad. So, no use fussing about that and the best solution to the problem that occured to me was to WRITE one myself. That way I can keep it updated and keep it good and interesting.

XxMikeyXx: Glad that you liked it. That correction has already been done but thanx anyway.

Guest: I'll try my best to keep it updated on schedule. The max fluctuations that WILL be observed would be for a day back-or-fro because of my final year at school. One of my wishes was to see a story with Naruto and Sasuke with these powers so I decided to write one.

As for my other reviewers, thanks for reviews and I hope the story will be to your expectations.

Next chapter will be of Naruto building his bonds and getting some training down with Sasuke. Also Sasuke meets Hinata.

Next update date- 14/7
