Hey guys, this is my first Naruto fanfic story. Hopefully you'll like it. I plan to make it a looonnng one. Before starting let me tell you the meanings of different signs.

" " means normal conversation.

' ' means thoughts.

Bold letters means Nine tails talking or thinking.

EDIT :

Just something to add here in the first chapter description. I've checked (in the chapterwise audience) that a lot of people end up not continuing the next chapter after the first one. Fair enough, I know initially it was crap. And maybe the rest of them are too. But one thing's for sure, every next one is always less crappier than the last one. I have improved and will keep on doing so. So it's a request to get into the flow for 4-5 chapters and then if you still don't like it, you should definitely drop it. Thanks, hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto or any of it's franchise. It is owned by it's creator Masashi Kishimoto.


Chapter 1

The seemingly ever rustling leaves of the forest were now ablaze. The usual calm atmosphere of the place was now turned completely opposite : the birds leaving their nests instead of returning to them, the insects finding a place to rest far away from this chaos, the beasts running away from what appeared to be far more beastly.

Among these, there stood a civilisation of humans living in what appeared to be a village. But at this moment it was rendered under complete chaos as people ran away with their children to protect their lives. Houses, property, money, fame, nothing mattered at the moment, except their existence.

Yes, Konoha was under attack, by Kyuubi no Kitsune a.k.a. the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.

Utilising the only chance of defeating the fox spirit and saving the village, the Yondaime Hokage sealed it in a newborn baby using a powerful technique which unfortunately was a double edged sword and resulted in his demise.

The newborn child laid there and as heard from the dying Hokage, he was the hero of the village.

His name was--

Naruto.


(Few years later)

A kid ran through the streets of Konoha as a group of villagers chased him in hot pursuit. He was a mess, to say the least. His clothes were tattered, his hair were dirty and his eyes.…..well, his eyes.……they showed a mixture of feelings. Anger ?? Yes, a little. Fear ?? A little more. But the most visible emotion out of all was only one. Confusion.

'Why ?! Why did it just have to be him ??' , his mind raced.

Suddenly, he turned into an alleyway. Mistake. It was a dead end. He turned to see himself surrounded by numerous people. The look in their eyes was so cold it could turn something into ice. Suddenly he was hit in the head by a blunt object. He felt his consciousness disappear slowly as he drifted into darkness the moment he hit the ground.

Drop …… drop.….. drop ……. (A/N : just imagine when Naruto enters his mindscape I can't write that voice of water drops hitting the water here)

He woke up slowly hearing the voice only to find himself in a closed tunnel like place with doors surrounded by darkness. Through one of those doors he heard a low pitched growl. Cautiously, he treaded into the tunnel only to find a huge room on the other side of which seemed an equally huge cage. Ironically, it seemed to be kept in check by a small piece of paper which was probably quite a powerful seal to hold a cage of this size.

He walked in front of the cage step by step, water splashing under his feet reflecting a pale yellowish light that illuminated the room.

Beyond the cage lied complete darkness. As he walked towards the cage a sudden growl came from the cage along with an incredibly fast claw that emerged from between the bars of the cage. It looked to him like he missed by an inch or two. He landed back on the ground afraid of what lied in front of him.

Through the cage he could see two menacing eyes, sharp fangs as large if not bigger than him and a fierce red aura surrounding a shape which resembled a fox.

Where was he ?? Why was he here ?? The last thing he could remember was being cornered in a street by some villagers. Did they kill him ?? Was he dead ?? Was he sent to hell now for the reason everybody hated him ?? Was this the form of some deadly Soul Reaper ??

Tens of questions came across his mind but before he could make head or tail of anything he heard a voice, a deep unnerving voice.

"Child of man, why have you come here ?? What is it that you seek from me ??"

"Wait, I didn't ask to be here. Why am I here ?? And to be precise, what exactly is here ?! I don't even know where I am.", exclaimed Naruto.

"Ah, so you don't know what this place is, brat. Hahaha, this is going to be troublesome then. Maybe this could make it easier.", said the creature as it flashed nine glowing tails from behind.

Suddenly, it hit him. It was the nine tailed fox spirit that attacked the village all those years ago and the Yondaime Hokage sealed it in a newborn child. He heard villagers talking about that incident when they thought he was unconscious but he actually wasn't. He couldn't understand how it was related to him at the time but now -- now he understood what it was all about. Everything.

The way everyone treated him like he was some monster, some kind of a freak of nature, it was all now crystal clear to him. He was the child in which the Yondaime Hokage had sealed the demon fox.

"You- You're the nine tails. The one who attacked Konoha all those years ago !!", exclaimed Naruto.

"It was not my wish to onslaught the village brat. I couldn't care any less to be honest.", said the Kyuubi.

"Then why, why did you do that ??", asked Naruto.

"Hmph, you're a thousand years too young to understand that, brat. Now, get lost you're disturbing my slumber.", said the Kyuubi as he emitted a huge wave of killing intent that pushed Naruto back from that place and into the reality.


He opened his eyes to find himself in a closed room with dim lights. As he wandered his gaze around the room he could see a figure standing close to the wall on the other side of th room.

As he groggily woke up on the bed in an upright position, the person came closer and said,

"You should take it easy for now. You might still have a concussion after what happened. You were hit pretty hard."

He inspected the person head to toe. Judging by the long flowing violet hair on the back it was a girl, wearing a traditional ANBU attire with a mask on the face which resembled a cat.

"Oh, Neko-chan it's you again. I see you saved me. Thanks very much.", said Naruto.

It seemed that she had saved him on multiple occasions even before this one.

Before she could say anything the door opened and an old man entered the room wearing a robe that only one person in the village had authority to. He was the Sandaime Hokage of the Leaf Village.

"Greetings, Hokage-sama.At your service.", said the woman as she kneeled on one leg and bowed her head.

"Ah, Neko-chan I suppose you saved our Naruto-kun yet again. You have my regards.", said the Hokage politely.

"You humble me, Hokage-sama. It was my duty and nothing more.", said the ANBU agent.

Slightly nodding in acknowledgement, he walked towards Naruto.

"What happened out there my boy ?? Can you explain the situation which led to you in this state ??", asked the Hokage nicely.

Remembering the situation a lump formed in his throat, but he had decided that he would be strong and not cry unnecessarily. He exhaled a deep breath.

The ANBU were trained to be heartless so that they can think clearly in a mission, but watching a young kid being ostracized by the whole community made the woman standing beside clench her fist in anger as well as sadness.

He started explaining slowly, "I was out to buy some food and groceries for this month. When I was heading back home, somebody caught me from behind and then threw me in an alleyway. I don't know if people saw it or not but nobody came to help. I was frightened so I ran away as fast as I could. But I stumbled upon a dead end when a few people attacked me. Next I knew, I was here.", finished Naruto. He looked as if he could start sobbing any minute now, but he put up a brave face.

Hearing this, the Hokage was infuriated. 'Those damned civilians, not leaving a single chance to spare this boy.'

"Neko-chan, I want to hear the scenario from your perspective. What exactly happened there ?? ", asked the Hokage which sounded almost like an order.

"Hokage-sama, I was on my way to submit my report regarding my last mission. I saw some ruffians chasing someone in a lonely area behind the market. I decided to investigate in case if someone was being harmed. As I reached the rooftop I saw one of those men hit Naruto in the head from the back with an iron rod. I attacked those present there without a second thought. Some are dead and some maybe half dead. I carried him here to the ANBU medical squad as quickly as I could. ",reported the cat masked woman.

"And exactly where the hell is his ANBU guard who was on duty today ?!", asked an angry Hokage.

She flinched at the tone but knew that it wasn't directed at her. "Apologies, Hokage-sama, but I don't know. I'll have to check."

"Wait here. Tiger, appear at once.", ordered the Hokage to nobody.

Suddenly, a man with a tiger mask appeared from the ground who was seemingly the captain of the ANBU Black Ops.

"Bring me whoever was on duty NOW !! ", the Hokage's voice was now attaining a deadly tone.

"Hai, Hokage-sama.", a sweating and terrified ANBU disappeared.

The Hokage saw a bag full of groceries lying near the bed. Maybe Neko carried it with Naruto here.

"If you don't mind, may I look at the handbag, Naruto ??", he asked.

Naruto shrugged in affirmation.

When he took a closer look at the handbag, the Hokage found that almost all of it contained Instant Ramen.

"Not that I'm stopping you from eating whatever you like my boy, but you should take care of your health by eating different nutritious foods. You'll fall ill if you eat the same thing regularly.", told the old man with a concerned look on his face.

"It's not that I don't know that, but the problem is that all other foods are out of my budget. The only thing that I can eat and can buy is ramen. Old Man Teuchi at Ichiraku's gives it to me at a normal price. He even offers me food sometimes when all my budget is over and I'm hungry.", said Naruto.

'Wait that isn't possible. I give him enough money so that he can live a normal life, unless.….', thought the Hokage.

"Uh Naruto can you tell me how much a pack of bread or a bottle of milk costs you ??", asked the Hokage.

"Umm, let's see. 250 ryō for the bread and 300 for the milk.", told Naruto.

"Whaaaaat ?! ", exclaimed the two voices as even the ANBU woman couldn't keep her surprise in check.

"Yes, but I get Instant Ramen for 10 ryō a pack which is quite cheap so I can eat a lot.", grinned Naruto.

'Damn those villagers, they are overcharging him for no reason whatsoever.', thought the Hokage.

In the meantime, the captain brought along the one who was responsible for guard duty whose mask looked like a wolf.

"Would you care to explain what happened or should I have you thrown out right now ?! ", exclaimed the Hokage.

"Apologies, Hokage-sama. I was on guard duty as usual, but I saw someone attack the boy from shadows with Kunai and shuriken. I was able to deflect the attack but the intruder engaged me. I was able to defeat him but he managed to escape. After that, I tried to find the boy but he was nowhere in sight. I've been looking for him until Captain-san relayed me that you summoned me immediately.", reported the man.

'So not only civilians but ninja are also involved in these attacks. Damn, this is worse than I thought.', the Hokage thought.

"Okay now listen to me carefully. Tiger, you are to investigate all of the surviving attackers and the ninja who engaged Wolf. Wolf, you are to investigate all the shops who sell overpriced goods to him. Should any of them resist, drop them to Ibiki. Finally Neko, you are to drop Naruto home safely and be on guard duty for the rest of the day. ", ordered the Hokage.

"Hai, Hokage-sama." , all three of them said as Tiger and Wolf Shunshin'd (Body Flicker Technique) away.

Naruto was about to go to his home but decided to tell the Hokage something instead.

"I know.", he blurted out.

"What do you mean you know ?? What are you talking about ?? ", asked the Hokage.

"Now I know why everyone hates me. Why I'm treated like I'm a nobody. Why I'm always being punished. The reason why...I'm an outcast.", said Naruto.

Both of the adults were completely shocked.

"Its because the Demon Fox spirit that threatened the village years ago was sealed within me by the Yondaime Hokage, isn't it ??", asked Naruto.

"But- but how did you know this Naruto. I forbade anyone and everyone to talk about this matter as a decree. ", said Hokage.

Naruto slapped himself mentally. He couldn't just say that he met the fox inside his mind. To cover up, he said a quite convincing lie.

"Well, when I was being chased, one of the men said that he'd kill the demon fox before it kills everybody. And it wasn't tough to deduce after that. Everybody knows that years ago on that day the Fourth Hokage sealed it in a newborn child. That'd be me then.", said Naruto.

'Damnnn those stupid villagers I didn't think that they'd stoop this low.', thought the Hokage.

"Neko-chan you wait here. I have to talk to Naruto in private.", said the Hokage as he took Naruto by hand and guided him towards his chamber. He placed a privacy seal there so that nobody could interrupt or eavesdrop their conversation.

"So Naruto, now that you know this what do you intend to do my boy ??", asked the Hokage politely.

"I won't be scared of them no matter what they do. One day I will become Hokage and then everybody will respect me like they respect you.", said Naruto bravely.

"Hehe, and here I thought I'll have to counsel you. Now that I know you're not going to do anything reckless, I suggest you start some basic training for self defence purposes. Here, I'll lend you some of my old scrolls I used when I was a child.", said Sandaime Hokage.

Naruto's eyes could be seen glimmering animé style as the scrolls were handed to him from some old cupboard.

"Arigatou, Jiji !! ", thanked Naruto as the old man could be seen smiling due to the fact that the boy considered him as family.

He summoned Neko and then both of them left the place.

'Huh, it seems that this place is not safe anymore for the kid alone. I'm sorry Yondaime Hokage for I have failed you until now. But I will not repeat my mistake. I have to find someone who can protect as well as train him. And there is one person that's perfectly suited for the job', a smirk forming across his face as he thought.


Ok guys this is it. First chapter is over. Any kind of reviews are welcome. If anybody wants to suggest good story points I can also take them into consideration. It will be a Naruto OP fanfic with harem and maybe lemon, just to remind. Hopefully next chapter will be uploaded soon. Until then, Arigatou.
