Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, or something.
A/N
Thanks for reviews and Pm's they all help me with writing the story!
I'm thinking of making a poll for what Naruto's main element should be, I'm leaning against lightning right now since I find it boring that Naruto always gets wind.
The poor guy needs some variation!
`normal thoughts´
`Demon thoughts´
`Kage's thoughts´
"Normal Talking"
"Demon talking"
" Kage talking"
"jutsu execution" which is said mentally
Naruto's different personalities:
Kage : Naruto's first and real personality which the Kyuubi saved on the day he got branded with the seal, recently awakened from thirteen years of slumber.
Rei : The master personality that the seal made to take complete control of Naruto's body and mind.
Uzumaki Naruto : Created by the loyalty seal for integration into konoha and other as of yet unknown reasons.
Chapter 3
The Past Unsealed Part 2
last chapter:
"And now most of the memories are" he looked on the screen as it fast forwarded through his memories. "Training, training, more training, walking around like an idiot and...wait what's this-"

Ne Headquarters
Naruto's age: 6 Years and 7 Months

Not much had changed for Naruto during the 3 years that he had been training for Ne, he was taler and more muscular and to the outside world he was a noisy little brat that everyone loved to hate. What no one knew was that the little blond brat was someone who could kill them before they had time to blink, as Rei he would train with his four teachers every night after walking through the secret passageway from the orphanage after the matrons had put the children to bed. He would train to the early morning and return one hour before the wake up call at seven am.

"Can the body really work like that without falling apart? No, I doubt it, if not my memories about the need for sleep is false? It could be that Kyuubi is helping?"
"You guessed right, with the schedule they put him on I had to use my chakra to make his body get enough rest in one hour" Kage jumped slightly as Kyuubi's voice boomed inside Kage's mind cage. "Kyuubi-dono, are uzumaki channeling your chakra?"Kage could feel the smirk from the fox "Yes, he encountered some kind of snake man in a training area called forest of death. He's doing some kind of examination to rise in rank, to bad he can't do the same tricks that Rei can" "Ah, Kyuubi-dono who is Rei really? He feels to much like a puppet to be a real personality"
"Rei is not a true personality, he's in a way the seal itself."
"But the Hokage never said anything about the seal making them soul less puppets"
"Thats because they are foolish humans, when the seal was branded on you it didn't have anything to work from, and as I told you before the only reason your body is still walking is because of me. I had to heal your brain so many times during the first two weeks of you're life before the mind adapted to the seal and did the only safe thing." "And what is that ?"
"It turned itself off and only followed directions given by the seal which in proxy made you a puppet that could only fulfill the orders of the Hokage."
"Then what about the Uzumaki personality? And how could a mindless puppet learn anything?"
"The Uzumaki personality was made by Danzo to keep the public eyes away from you're nightly activities and what better way to hide a emotionless killing machine than as the village clown? To answer your second question, a mindless puppet can only go so far which the Hokage and Danzo realized, so they tinkered with the seal themselves and made it so that you could learn and act on the orders given.""How Kyuubi-dono?" kyuubi frowned in his cage "Truthfully, I do not know since seals have never been my strong side, I've mostly neglected them and I'm paying the price for that foolishness now" Kage bowed and quickly replied "I'm sorry for bringing this up then Kyuubi-dono, forgive me for my foolishness"
"Don't be, you need to learn after all" Kage could feel the demon fox's gaze "After all, you are the one who will give us both retribution and release me from this prison."
"Hai, Kyuubi-dono"
"To recap the Hokage branded you but they didn't see any problems before you turned 2 I believe, since you where so quiet and always followed the hokage's orders they didn't even question it before they tried to teach you how to read. That's when they finally understood that something was wrong, so they started to test you and eventually they found a way to adapt the seal into what we know as Rei.
Rei was made to be the perfect soldier, no emotions, never questioning orders, always obey their commander and completely loyal to Konoha. But what they where most happy with was when the finally managed to get you to learn, after trying so many different ways they finally found out that they just needed to order you to learn it. If they said 'Try and read this' Rei wouldn't understand what to do since the seal didn't truly activate but if they ordered it the seal managed to find the information needed to imitate human thought. Adding the fact that this made Rei have photographic memory because the seal got the information from the brain no matter how old the information was, made them ecstatic, of course this also has its drawbacks.. Because of Rei being created without the ability to feel or any self consciousness he couldn't function solo, his missions had to be perfectly worded as a order or the seal would mess things up. He had no imagination since he had to follow the information he had to the letter, so you couldn't just give him a mission, you had to make sure he knew almost anything about the place he was going so that he could use that information to actually do the mission. " Kage was silent and trying to understand what it all meant. "To give you a example, one of the brats first training missions. He was assigned to kill a civilian trader that was starting to make trouble with the food prices to Konoha. Rei had been given a target, a place where the trader would be and the instructions 'Kill the trader without making you're presence known and return to base'. What they failed to give him was a backup plan. The trader never showed and Rei sat there for five days before another Ne operative came and tried to pick him up. But as the Operative hadn't received the command sentence and tried to take him back to base, his mind classified him as a threat to his mission directive and killed him. After that failure they had to go back to the drawing board for a while, eventually they taught him the shadow clone skill and had him read books on tactics, espionage, infiltration, assassination, interrogation, tracking and other shinobi skills. The most important thing he learned was geography, they gave him every map they had, all of this served as a archive for Rei to get information and become a bit more flexible, but he is still bound by what he knows and if he got into a situation where he didn't have information he would be in deep shit, they solved all of this by giving him a partner." "But how could the Uzumaki personality act like it does solo then?"
"The biggest difference between Rei and Uzumaki is that Rei a puppet soldier and Uzumaki is a infiltrator that has to be able to adapt. That and the Hokage dared not change Rei's personality more than he had already done since it had become intertwined to the core of the seal.
Uzumaki was made to make him seen as a useless and annoying brat so that people would drop their guard around him. His main purpose was and still is to be a spy for the Hokage."At Kage's curious look Kyuubi let loose a malicious laugh" You will see what I mean later on, since you are coming to some of the more fun memories and I don't want to spoil them" The Kyuubi's went silent for a few seconds and spoke quickly. "Curses, this worm of a man knowns some sealing techniques I will speak to you la-" and then the Kyuubi had been closed off from Kage, he stood up and walked to the screen. `Time to see what the Kyuubi finds so fun then, and find out about this partner´ and he melted into the screen.

Ne Headquarters
Naruto's age: 6 years and 7 months

After a particularly hard examination from his trainers Rei stood at attention not showing any discomfort about his sweaty clothes. He was outfitted with standard anbu gear which is black ninja pants and a mesh undershirt while wearing anbu armor on top with a completely white mask at his hip, he had a ninjato on his back with the handle over his right shoulder and a kunai pouch on the right hip.
His main trainer for 3 years code named Ichi looked on his young charge with a tiny bit of pride.
"Rei, you're training with us is complete for now and your skills has been graded as sufficient and you will be given a new assignment with a new superior officer now go report to Danzo-sama"
"Affirmative" was the monotone reply as Rei disappeared in a shunshin.
-
Rei knelt before Danzo's empty throne silently and waited yet again for the old commander. Five minutes later Danzo appeared with a short Ne ninja at his left side, he gave a short glance at Rei before sitting down on his throne.
"Rei, this is your new superior officer code named Tengu , he will take you with him on missions that we feel you are qualified for and when you are not on missions he will train you, is that understood?"
"Hai, Danzo-sama"
"Good, I got a mission that would test Rei's skills here's the briefing" Danzo took out a folder from his kimono and threw it over to Tengu who picked it from the air and opened it without moving from the spot " Rei another Ne operative will take your place as Uzumaki Naruto for the week while you two are on the mission, I except results from you two" He looked over to Tengu "You will debrief Rei as soon as you have left konoha, remember to destroy the mission folder when you have it memorized, now leave me." only a soft breeze was felt when the two ninjas disappeared into the shadows and went on their way. A low chuckle was heard from Danzo's room and if you strained your ears you could hear a whisper "Yes, I expect great things from you two"
-
Two blurs moved through the sewers of Konoha, as Rei and his new captain got close to one of the many exits of the sewer they slowed down and Tengu made a halt signal.
Two onyx eyes looked at the blue eyed child next to him "I will need to pick up some supplies for us both, what is your current inventory?" the voice of Tengu was monotone and sounded almost bored.
"10 kunai, 20 shurikens, two field ration bars, 5 meters ninja wire, two rolls of bandages, 2 smoke smoke bombs, a vial of paralyzing poison and its antidote." was the reply, Tengu remembered his debriefing that he got from Danzo and the Hokage about this specific ninja. If someone had told him the day before that the local demon brat was actually a highly trained anbu trainee he would have almost laughed in their face. But here he was, looking at a highly effective tool that has been brainwashed from the start by Ne, he had worked with Ne operatives before but this kid was something else. The look on his face was devoid of all human emotion and his eyes was colder than frozen ice, how was it possible for this child to be the same as the one that was always smiling and trying to make the villagers pay him attention? He had to give his respects to his trainers, to be able to act like that and even trick him was a huge feat. "We will meet at the southern gate in 20 minutes and since we now are on a mission use your mask and cloak"
"Hai teichou" as Rei took on his white mask and a black anbu cloak, Tengu disappeared to get his supplies and Rei took off to the southern gate to wait.
-
Twenty minutes later and the two covert-ops ninjas stood in a dark alleyway communicating with hand signs. "We leave in 4, we are given a 1 minute window by our allies. We will not be spotted by anyone in this one minute, so be prepared and follow me" Rei gave a short nod and waited for Tengu to make the move.
4 minutes later they saw a anbu land on the wall, giving a all clear hand signal to no one in particular and continued on his patrol.
Tengu dashed from the alleyway with Rei hot on his heels, all that could be seen was two black blurs that went over the wall and into the forests of Fire country.
After one hour of high speed tree jumping Tengu made a halt signal and jumped down to the forest floor.
"Rei, its time for your debriefing as ordered by Danzo-sama" Rei stood at attention and waited for the older ninja to continue. "This is a assassination mission on a traitorous noble in one of the smaller cities in the western part of Fire Country. Its to test your abilities to act in the field outside of Konoha, the Hokage and Danzo has informed me of your training but I wish to hear your own assessment of your skills." he motioned for Rei to speak.
"As you wish teichou, my speed is currently low-chunin and I am told that I cannot become any faster for the time being since my body is not fully matured yet. Normal accuracy with kunai and shuriken, proficient with senbon and with complete knowledge of the human body "pff, pretty easy when you can memorize entire medical textbooks and remember them on command" I cannot use genjutsu but I am good at removing them. Standard anbu training with ninjato and hand to hand combat My chakra levels is mid-chunin, high genin chakra controll and as for ninjutsu I currently am unable to do any high leveled elemental manipulations but I have some jutsus from several elements.
My jutsu's are:
Shadow Clone,
Earth Release: Inner Decapitation Technique
Water Release: Water Clones
Lightning Release: Electric Discharge
Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique
and the standard Konoha academy techniques.
I currently have no wind techniques, I am adept at Silent Homicide Technique as I am a tool to assassinate the enemies of the Hokage." Through his entire explenation there weren't even a ounce of pride, it sounded like it he was just repeating something he had heard from his trainers.
"Well that will do for now" said Tengu as he looked at his new partner, he knew all about his skills as he had been briefed by the boys own trainers but he wanted to hear it from Rei himself. "The town is called Wajima and is close to the border of Taki and Ame it will probably take us two days to get there at our current speed, we will discuss how to get to the target when we get there so let's move out." Tengu jumped back into the trees and Rei followed always two branches behind Tengu so that he could react and take action if they got ambushed, it was a standard technique from one of the first books he had read, as they traveled to Wajima Rei's tought where soley focused on his task, his mind going through all the books of assassination that he had read and memorized, he was ready to do what was needed for the glory of Konoha.
-
Six days later the two young ninjas knelt before Danzo's throne, they where dirty and you could smell the sweat from them but they didn't even seem to notice the smell and only the tired but monotone voice of Tengu could be heard.
"We reached the city of Wajima late on the second day and rested until the morning on the third day before I gave Rei the last information from the briefing so that we could plan out the assassination, after formulating a crude plan I spent the morning on scouting the mansion of our target. After getting a confirmation about our targets position I waited until dusk and called in Rei who found the target sleeping in his personal library. Rei killed the taarget by using senbon needles to paralyze him and shortly thereafter stopping his heart. We removed all trace of our presence and returned back to Konoha without any problems and waited at the appointed time to sneak back in."
"Good, you kept the schedule, you have been up for quite a while now it seems" Danzo looked down on his two tools and gave a small chuckle "I can smell it, now then. Rei go outside in the corridor and wait. I need to talk to Tengu in private" Rei saluted and rose from his kneeling position and left the room.
"So what do you think of our newest tool?" said Danzo while looking at the kneeling Tengu
"He is most impressive Danzo-sama, he kept up with me perfectly fine when we traveled and he seemed to not even notice the strain of staying up for almost 3 days in a row." Danzo gave a small smirk "He only needs one hour of sleep to get back his energy, so this wasn't anything special for him. He will become a excellent tool, especially with the help from you...Right Itatchi?"
Tengu rose as his name was mentioned and removed his mask, The onyx eyes of Uchiha Itatchi flashed red as he looked at Danzo "Hai Danzo-sama, the way you have brainwashed him he will become a excellent tool, but are you afraid that the brainwashing will break?"
"It will not break, its foolproof" said Danzo with a larger smirk. "So you have no objections about him becoming your partner then?"
"None at all Danzo-sama, I think me and Rei will work very well together, but if there are nothing else Danzo-sama I would like to retire to my home for some sleep. I am not able to re-energize after only one hour of sleep after all." Itatchi placed his mask back on and prepared to leave as Danzo gave his casual dismissal "Go then Tengu, and meet back here for training in three days, you will have to learn how to use him before I will send you on missions where you can expect resistance from bodyguards or ninjas."
Tengu bowed and left the room and stopped as he saw Rei standing at attention outside Danzo's office. "Our mission is over Rei-kun, return to your quarters and reactivate your other persona that is an order"
"Hai, teichou" said Rei before he turned and vanished into the shadows.
And so started a weird relationship between two broken youths, one turned a tool for his village the other a tool for his clan. Both used by those who should have protected them.
And done for today.
I guess you all saw that one comming.
