'You're not good enough', 'Sorry your just not good enough for my teaching', 'He's the dead last demon what could he do' all of these were flashing through Naruto's memory at the time, he had just been rejected for the 50th time by Kakashi, he knew his requests for training would go unanswered...he didn't know why he still bothered.

Naruto got off his bed and put his clothes on, he brushed his teeth and walked out of his house as he normally did, the glares still bothered him but he had learned to ignore them as of late, he wore his big smile as he went back to the last person he thought he could trust...the Hokage. 'He'll surely help me get stronger wouldn't he?' Naruto thought to himself. He opened the door of the Hokage office and he was greeted by the Hokage's smile.

He always knew there were ulterior motives to that smile of his, he just couldn't put his finger on it, He had learned to not trust the smile, anyone could smile but that meant nothing. He had been fooled by a smile one too many times for it to fool him again. He raised his hand brightly "Yo, Old man" He said, not giving the Hokage time to respond he went straight to business "I need teaching Old Man and I need it quick, do you have any scrolls you could lend maybe?" Naruto asked with hope in his tone "Sorry Naruto-Kun I wish there were any I could give you, but unfortunately, there aren't...there isn't anything I can do" the Hokage said, his tone not changing a slight bit as he disappointed someone who viewed himself as close to his heart.

'There is nothing I could do' Naruto detested those words, there were the words of someone who had given up and refused to better their situation, not that Naruto cared much about others. Naruto said nothing as he walked out without closing the door.

Naruto walked through the streets of Konoha, they seemed to go quiet as he walked past them. Naruto did not care anymore, he didn't care if they died, he didn't care if a father went up and stabbed their child right in front of him he didn't care. The child shouldn't have relied on their parents so much, he could survive all this time without parents so why couldn't they?

Naruto had learned, immediately he left that office he learned. Do not trust anyone, why would you rely on someone when they could backstab you at any moment.

(Flashback)

"I've finally found someone who can take care of you," Hiruzen told a 9-year-old Naruto, Naruto was led by the Hokage to a middle-aged lady as she gave him the brightest and most beautiful smile he had ever seen. "Hi, my name Mizuko," She said kindly. Naruto had no words but you could tell that his smile was stretching from one end of his face to the other.

She took him into his home and for the few days they lived together they were the best days of his life...but it all ended one day. Naruto woke up with pain racking every corner of his body, he felt a thumping on his body and the sounds of his bones cracking had filled the room, Mizuko was trying to kill him.

Naruto leapt backwards just to dodge a swing of a wooden club from Mizuko "Get back here Demon" Mizuko screamed hysterically, she had tears streaming down her face as she nearly missed his face as he ducked her swing. Naruto ran into the kitchen using his small nimble frame to dodge her blows and with quick decisiveness, he grabbed a knife and plunged it into her neck, and crimson red liquid filled the room.

(End flashback)

From then all Naruto's care for humanity faded, how could their hatred destroy everything he held dear, holding things close brought harm, and Naruto didn't want to be hurt again.

"Okay, so I'm all alone in this cursed world," Naruto said to himself. He would rather be beaten for a thousand years than be alone for an hour. He walked into the training fields, if nobody would help him become strong then he would do it himself. No more would he hope for others to come to his aid, rather he would take his destiny into his own hands.

'Physical conditioning' Naruto thought dryly to himself, hiding in the shadows and killing from there was for cowards, Naruto wanted to be able to walk up to someone and kill them without a problem. They would feel the impending feeling of death as he walked towards them gave him a rush he never felt in his dull life.

He began his run round the village as his Uzumaki stamina carried him throughout the entire day. None stop training and Naruto felt like it would never end. The shadow clones helped for training but they really didn't do that much.

(5 Hours Later)

We find our protagonist lying asleep in the middle of a field. He had worked his ass off consistently for a whole 5 hours and the makings of a 6 pack were developing. Even when asleep his eyes seemed like a dead ass when awake. One could easily mistake him for a dead body.

Naruto woke up and immediately leapt back While his body may have recovered from Mitsuko his mind hadn't. He had become a light sleeper as he despised vulnerability. Naruto continued to train and train till it was dusk running trail spars with his shadow clones. His form was absolutely horrendous and if a Taijutsu master were to see him as he was they would commit suicide out of sheer horror. But Naruto didn't care. Others opinions were irrelevant. He knew he would get strong it was just one big bumpy ride.

Naruto trudged home after a long day of work and he knew that he had been getting stronger and faster. He would come back tomorrow and go again and again and again. He wouldn't quit.

(Timeskip 5 months)

Naruto had progressed greatly in these 5 months, his six-pack was well defined and he had a lean muscular build as he didn't wish for giant muscles to lower his speed. He didn't have much of a Ninjutsu arsenal but damn was he good at Taijutsu. Getting into many a street brawl and back alley fights had trained his reaction speed and combat speed strength.

He fought nimbly, his attacks were fast and cracked like whips but the force behind them was incredible. He had once punched a rock so hard and fast the air had ignited and the insides of the rock had been completely melted. Yet it looked perfectly fine from the outside, a technique like this would work well against those who put all their time into defence.

Naruto had come to many revelations, he didn't feel sad when people near him died and that was because he realised how easy it was to take life. All it took was a well-aimed punch, a lucky throw, a thrust of a knife, too much to drink etc. Lots of things could end the pitiful life of a human so he learned not to think of it too much. If he didn't kill someone eventually the reaper would come for them, or it would be another. Death was inevitable but Naruto wouldn't let it come...till he had reached his goals.

Naruto was walking to go meet his team, he hadn't spoken to them in a long time and he wanted to know how much they had grown. Naruto walked up to the three members of his team, Sakura looked the same as in the academy and Sasuke looked a slight bit stronger than Kakashi well...he was just Kakashi.

"Yo," Naruto said lazily, he received a Sharingan enhanced glare from Kakashi and Sasuke "Who are you?" Kakashi demanded. Naruto cocked his head to the side confused "Uzumaki Naruto resident demon" they immediately dropped their guard as they didn't view the person in front of them as a threat anymore.

"Where have you been the past few months?" Sakura queried. Naruto chose to ignore her as he looked like his childhood rival. "Oi Sasuke. Wanna spar?" Naruto asked. He wanted to test himself against the Uchiha as his position on the team food chain had not been established yet.

Sasuke ever eager to get into a fight nodded his head and they both took their stances. Kakashi gave the signal to begin and Naruto didn't give Sasuke time to think as he ran directly at him, Sasuke tried to make the distance but Naruto closed it in seconds "Don't run now!" Naruto roared as he delivered a punch that sent Sasuke flying 'He's quite a bit faster but the real difference is their strength. Naruto is many orders of magnitude above him, Sasuke is losing this...How did you get so strong' Kakashi thought as he analyzed the battle picking up every little detail.

Naruto attempted to sweep his leg but Sasuke jumped up. In the crouched position, Naruto slid under him and appeared directly behind him before gravity could even act. Grabbing Sasuke by the back of the neck he slammed him to the ground as Sasuke released a groan of pain. Sasuke recovered quickly and jumped away from his foe. He whipped through handsigns "Katon: Karyu Endan" he shouted as a huge dragon launched itself at Naruto. Before Jutsu could completely hit him Naruto dodged it closing the distance between him and Sasuke a second time. Sasuke sent a flurry of punches at Naruto but they all got blocked with ease Naruto stretched his hands out in a placating manner causing Sasuke to lower his guard for a second allowing Naruto to completely get past his guard and knock him straight in the chin.

Sasuke was sent flying back and tightening his resolve to not be defeated now he activated his Sharingan 'Toe Tomoe, interesting' Naruto thought to himself as he rushed at his opponent a second time, Sasuke was able to barely dodge Naruto's fist and raised his leg to block a knee from Naruto. 'I can block and dodge, but the shockwaves from his blows completely negate that' Sasuke thought grimly. He jumped back and began bouncing on the balls of his feet, he wouldn't lose here, if he lost how was he going to kill Itachi...he stopped bouncing and rushed at Naruto sending three punches to his chest in quick succession. Naruto dodged all of them by crouching down, Naruto then proceeded to swing his fist at Sasuke's stomach, with his increased perception Sasuke was able to grab it...barely.

Crack* The force from Naruto's blow had shattered Sasuke's left arm's wrist. Before he had the chance to scream in pain Naruto had swung his left fist so fast that space and time couldn't register. It hit him in the face and he was sent flying but his body didn't register. The fight was over.

Naruto dusted himself off and yawned at the fight, it was dull. Sasuke couldn't give him the excitement he needed even when he was holding back. Naruto decided to be polite this time "Good fight teme" Naruto said as he walked past Kakashi who could only look at his back as he was walking away 'Will we die by the monster of our own creation' Kakashi thought. Not once did he feel an ounce of sympathy for Naruto, but he would lie and suck up to him if it meant ensuring his own survival. As everyone's number one priority is themselves.

(Council Meeting)

The council had gathered for their weekly overview of the events that went on in the village of Konohagakure, there were the clan leaders and of course the civilians, all voices were to be heard...except Naruto's of course.

"I'm sure you all are aware of Naruto's sparring match with Uchiha Sasuke," Hiruzen said, the council nodded silently. They wouldn't reveal their hatred for the boy as his very existence profited them as of late.

"Yes, how did his power increase so rapidly in the span of five months, I thought you were stunting his growth Hiruzen. Your failure to stunt his growth and our treatment of him may cause him to start revolting" Said a council member with little worry in his voice, he was confident that the Jinchuuriki had not gotten so strong he couldn't be contained. His fear was if they were to kill the demon's body was his full form going to return in the form of the Kyuubi no Kitsune and acting against Naruto would incur Hiruzen's wrath as he wanted to preserve the villages war deterrent.

"I offer up Hinata Hyuuga," Hiashi said,

"While we can no longer stunt his growth what we can do is slow down the rate at which he can improve and try to anchor him into the village," Hiruzen said. If he could get Naruto attached to someone incredibly loyal to Konoha, he wouldn't leave the village or go against it.

"Which female will be offered up to hold him to the village?" Danzo asked. Danzo had been in the corner listening to the whole conversation, he honestly didn't know what to do, the Kyuubi's chakra would override every seal he placed on him and any actions would incur Hiruzen's wrath as he attempted to keep the villages trump card in top condition.

"I offer up Hinata Hyuuga," Hiashi said louder this time and the whole council turned their heads to look at him. Why would he offer a member of the prized Hyūga clan to the demon, they didn't query him on it but their curiosity was peaked. "She can easily restrain him if he gets out of hand and I do not know one who is more loyal to this village than Hinata," Hiashi said confident in his daughter's skills, Hiruzen gave the silent order. Hinata was to try and befriend Naruto and if he shows signs of becoming a Rouge ninja she was to restrain him.

"The council meeting is over," Said Hiruzen as they all exited the council room murmuring to those they had alliances with. This was not a tight-knit unit, everyone would kill the other if it meant bettering themselves and they all knew it. In the village of Konohagakure and the whole Ninja world loyalty was a thing of the past...even amongst allies.

(Back with Naruto)

Back with our favourite blond Naruto, he was currently looking through Konoha's trash, he had hoped he would find some Jutsu to add to his arsenal, while he was at least High Joūnin level in Taijutsu, he had absolutely no ninjutsu to supplement this, a foe he couldn't outspeed he would surely lose too. After 30 minutes he had finally found what he was looking for.

A piece of Chakra nature paper, 13 fire ninjutsu scrolls, 14 lightning Jutsu scrolls, 34 wind Jutsu scrolls and 34 water Jutsu scrolls, he didn't know what absolute baboon would have left these scrolls in the trash but he wasn't complaining in the slightest bit.

He took the scrolls and walked to his private training field. Nobody knew about this field so he only dropped his guard here, he poured his chakra into the paper and immediately a quarter crunched up, another quarter burned, another dampened and another was cut into pieces, 'I don't know what the fuck my luck is but who am I to complain' Naruto thought with a bit of excitement, his Natural curiosity would benefit him greatly in terms of Jutsu creation etc and he knew that this was only the beginning of his journey to ninjutsu mastery.

Naruto decided to leave his clones to train with the scrolls while he strolled through the village, not much later he was greeted by the screeching voice of Sakura "You hospitalized Sasuke!!" She shouted hysterically. Naruto ignored her yet again and continued to walk past. He was going out the village to find someone to fight, but he didn't know where. At the moment kumo sounded like a good choice so he was going to go there and get busy with Kage level shinobi.

After hours of walking Naruto put a mask on his face as he reached the gates of Kumogakure, "Who are-" The guards were cut off as Naruto's kunai stopped their sentence forcefully by separating their head from their body. He was here for the strongest and messing around would do him no good. Naruto fully expected to take a beating but fighting someone stronger than you makes you rapidly climb to their level and fighting someone like the Raikage would give him at least 30 years of training.

Naruto jumped into the air and using chakra he landed on the ground releasing it all at once causing a massive shockwave to make a crater into the ground. He was here to cause havoc and get the raikage to fight him and almost immediately he sensed bijuu levels of chakra rushing towards him. Naruto leaned backwards slightly and he just barely dodged a blow from an enraged raikage, he was clad in his lightning armour but he didn't seem to take Naruto as much of a threat as he had only been in V1

Naruto didn't give the raikage time to send another attack as he ran up the raikage slipping through his guard and landing three blows on the raikage's muscular chest, flames burst from the Raikage's back and he grunted in pain, he swung at Naruto but our blonde protagonist wouldn't let himself get hit so easily, he jumped back but the raikage caught him slightly on the chin sending him flying, A closed the distance between them again and sent Naruto into the air with a massive kick, and with his hands clasped together he swung them down like a vice connecting with Naruto's spine.

Naruto was left in the debris and Anbu immediatley started to surround him, 'Its really time to get busy now' thought Naruto as he killed all the Anbu remotley close to him, he hopped out the hole and the raikage ran up to him for another punch, Naruto was able to dodge...easily this time. And he sent a punch to the Raikage's chin which sent him flying upwards. Naruto felt memories hit him and suddenly a whole plethora of fire Jutsu came to mind, his clones had succeeded "Katon: Karyu Endan" said Naruto as he launched a ball shaped as a dragon at his opponent.

The raikage barely dodged the attack and he knew that he was getting pressed to release the upper limits of his power, 'His lightning cloak is getting a bit bothersome' "Futon: Daitoppa" Naruto shouted releasing a gust of wind at A, due to his elemental advantage the lightning cloak seemed to reduce in size and A was launched back, "I guess it's time to go all out" A said
