chapter 1 whispers knowledge and confusion

a young 7 year old naruto Uzumaki was sitting on his bed in the orphanage alone doing nothing but waiting for the set time he could leave to walk around the village and even possibly visit the hokage the leader of the village if he wasnt to busy

naruto then left to the library he found the history of the shinobi very interesting

Naruto walking in the library ran under and around the tables with a dark hoodie covering his hair with his hood running around the civilians and librarian because of the disgusted looks they gave him

Naruto wondering what was in the genin section some cool ninjutsu he heard about running up the stairs he saw a genin guarding but he was asleep walking very carefully past him to not wake him.

He looked around shadow clone jutsu transformation and another but one interested him stealth 101 he took it he would bring it back tomorrow skimming through jutsu and some random books on shinobi history which was hidden from the civilians and general public going back around the sleeping genin and sneaking past the genin again .

Naruto was now walking back to the academy section he then read about basic academy stealth as well as genin books on it and read a few on taijutsu but they never looked right he loved to read about taijutsu and villages basic layout of ninja systems 5 great nations had 4 ranks genin, chunin , jounin ,anbu why did the civilians say anbu protect him this interested him.

next week

Naruto tried out some jutsu he then did the hansigns as the scrolls showed in pictures for naruto it was easy he transformed into the old man[hokage] "yes ok now i can go anywhere i want" testing it out he went to a shop walked in bought some sweets before leaving the shop keeper didnt stare or glare but just smiled.

When coming home to his apartment since a few weeks ago after the hokage said something about him needing to learn independence all he thought was I'm 7 he liked the old man but he confused him he could barely count let alone shopping for necessity's then walking to the middle of the living room he made a few hansigns and tried the shadow clone jutsu but it looked dead not enough of that chakra stuff nah it just wouldn't come out then making 5 clones with the same amount as before but split up they looked much better than before he only used a fraction of his chakra did he have loads no but he a civilian and he never trained he wasn't a clan member from the leaf but he might still come from a clan he would have to look through the ninja clans books in the library later today.

Naruto now read through the academy and genin stealth book putting it away he walked to a training ground and tried jumping up to a tree oh yeah he not physically strong enough so he used focused chakra to jump up without even knowing realising he was jumping through hiding like it was second nature and running through trees trying to be as silent and find certain vantage points and working on escaping.

3 hours later

Naruto walking home to grab the books but went to a shop transformed his hair blue got rid of the whisker marks and fattened his face asked and bought a backpack even for a discount he came here before and was kicked out straight away this made him feel even more angry and dejected what had he done to deserve this hate and fear why was he treated so differently while walking to the library still transformed he walked to past the librarian but she smiled at him and even offered to help he even thought about staying transformed.

Academy section clan books he read through their were never a clan with red hair in the leaf in the mist their was the Terumi clan but his name was Uzumaki maybe he took the other parents name and got the Terumi hair he then carried on then reading through and found another book extinct "maybe theirs no point no " I should at least look" finding a clan Uzumaki clan of the whirlpool one of the 5 clans of the whirlpool didn't participated In battles for the majority of clan war era but they were no less threatening thsn the Uchiha or hyuga and sarutobi theses clans even had a run on sight order from any Uzumaki squad since with their clans specialty were seals and were born sensors as well as chakra chain bloodline that was rumoured to have similar effects to wood style and even superior since it could actually be passed on

he then saw that the book said that the Uzumakiwere offered a position in the leaf but chose not to join the leaf and the Uzumaki village was later destroyed by a collaboration attack of the mist cloud earth grass and a few other minor villages multiple payed for mercenaries in the great battle little is known except 3 kage died at this great battle and all that went their few came back and their villages lost a little more than half their forces civilians and clan members were all slaughtered at the end of the battle they sealed the whirlpool under water with a barrier seal that absorbs chakra from those who try to break it is theorised but not proven no known survivors last known survivor kushina Uzumaki the last known uzumaki.

After this he was shocked his clan was awesome was this why they were scared of him his clan was scary but its not like they should be scared look at me I'm 7 years old for gods sake then reading another book about the kage that died in the attack 2 tsuchikage muu particle style and the 2 raikage A the master of lightning Armor the even the 2 mizukage hozuki master of genjutsu and summoner of clams wow my clans awesome screw those villages how does it feel to lose half your armies and gain nothing.

Naruto walking home got a idea transforming back to the blue haired version of him he walked towards a group of adults that always whispered not so quietly calling him demon monster brat .

" excuse me I saw a red head kid and I want to know why everyone keeps giving him dirty looks"

"he's a bad boy stay away from him or he will hurt you "

now wondering that wasn't true or a answer maybe because he transformed into a kid walking across the street to transform into a adult with black hair similar to a Uchiha

"hey I was wondering why you'd call the a kid a demon " said naruto

"your not from around here" said one of the men

"no I'm a trader " said naruto remembering a nice man trader he once met

"well the kyubi is in that brat the 4 hokage weakened him and we just let him live that senile old shouldn't be hokage anymore"another man smiled making a comment" maybe losing his wife in the kyubi attack made him go crazy "they then all smirked

"oh thanks bye" said naruto

"ok see ya around "

naruto then walked back to his apartment the hokage just gave him
