Hello everyone, Aegon here, this is my first attempt at writing fanfiction. I will be doing a Naruto fanfic as a beginning base for myself…

Summary: They say Death is an eye-opener, especially if you run through Life blind and naive. For Naruto, the Chunin Exams wasn't just a way to achieve a higher rank, it opened his mind to all that the shinobi world is… Powerful Grey Naruto, Jiraiya/Sandaime/Kakashi bashing.

Human Speech: "Hello"

Human Thought: 'So you say, but I know otherwise'

Tailed Beast Speech: "Leave me in peace human"

Tailed Beast Thought: 'Freedom will be mine'

Disclaimer: I Do Not OWN Naruto…

Chapter 1 - Realization

Chunin Exams Finals

As Naruto lay on the floor of the Konoha Stadium, the spectators that were shinobi or belonged to clans were silent, observing this match in concentration while the civilians were cheering loudly for his apparent defeat. Naruto lay there silently observing the clouds, an eagle flew across the sky, it's shadow streaking across the stadium floor.

"Are you giving up kid?" The exam proctor Genma asked. "He already has proctor-san, otherwise, he wouldn't be lying there and would've been rambling on about never giving up." His opponent, Neji Hyuga sneered. "No proctor-san I am not done, I was merely thinking about something." Slowly Naruto starts to get back up to his feet, he looks at his opponent, Neji Hyuga, the prodigy of the Hyuga's Branch Clan, a very arrogant clan, well except one, and highly believes in Fate and a member of Team 9, also known as Team Gai.

As Naruto starts to get to his feet slowly and painfully, the crowd booed in response, "What are you rambling about commoner?" Neji asked, looking at him with he small smile he answers "I was just thinking of how much of a Fate loving bitch you are, nothing more than a child who walks around with anger issues just because he lost his father cause his uncle didn't want to own up to his mistake and your clan's twisted traditions protecting him… At least you still have family Neji, I, on the other hand, do not, hell I don't even know who my parents are, all I get from the old monkey, is 'Sorry Naruto, I do not know' or 'I will find out for you Naruto'. But you know I think he did it deliberately, he is no different from you or anyone else in this village. Always holding me back and never wanted to teach me anything"

Kage Booth

In here there are two people are sitting, also spectators of this match, the Sandaime Hokage and the Yondaime Kazekage. "It seems like the boy is full of frustrations on everything that has happened in his life so far Hokage-dono, he has no regards for authority plus he is in search of answers on who he is, those are some big factors, tell me is there a possibility of him becoming a flight risk?" asked the Kazekage. The third Hokage answers with a small frown on his face, "So it seems Kazakage-dono and no he is not a flight risk at the moment" 'Watch your tone weapon, I will not tolerate any disrespect or rebelling from you'

Stadium Floor

"But enough about me Neji, it's time we finished our fight. I've had enough of rambling egomaniacs for today" Naruto winced in pained, his chakra points still sealed, 'I need to unlock sealed my sealed chakra points but how? That's it… The Nine-Tails' chakra! Then I'll show this fool and the rest of Konoha who I am'. He starts to put his hands in the Ram seal, Naruto starts feeling out the Nine-Tails' chakra and draws it out to forcefully reopen his chakra pathways, a powerful gust expels from him due to the chakra usage. Slowly it dies down and Naruto clenched his fist and says "I would tell you all about who I am Neji and how this village screwed me over but I won't be doing it, I will merely show you a sample of my power"

Naruto slowly closes his eyes and suddenly he opens them with his eyes having a different look them, it's a pattern of concentric circles that spreads across the entire eyeball, it's the pattern of the Rinnegan. "What are those eyes?" Neji asked, looking wildly surprised. "This Neji, is the Rinnegan, the most revered and powerful eye of Three Great Eye Techniques, now then allow me to show you a sample of its power"
