I don't own Naruto or any of its characters.
Pairings: Naruto x Kurenai x Naruto x Uzuki Yuugao (sp?)
Info:
This story is an AU.
English is not my first language; please
inform me if there are any mistakes I'll correct them.
I got fed up with all the Jiraiya, Tsunade and Itachi raising Naruto fics out there…so I decided to write something new.
WARNING some OOCness ahead. And some of the characters ages have been changed to allow the pairings to develop.
Naruto will be quite powerful here…I mean after all if someone like Itachi and Kakashi could be powerful at a young age why cant Naruto be the same with Kyuubi within him.
Kakashi will not be portrayed in the best light in this fic at least not for long.
NOTE: I need people who are willing to go on msn and discuss my fics (current & future) with me. Log in get my E-mail and we'll talk.
The Ayeka from the last chapter was a mistake on my part. So don't worry she is not Ibiki's spouse.
"Come to me child…Seek me if you want answers…Come to me……."
7 year old Naruto woke with a start from the voice that has been plaguing his dreams for as long as he could remember…The voice of the great demon fox Kyuubi. He found out the truth after a particularly bad nightmare after celebrating his 5th birthday.
Naruto woke up screaming in the middle of the night after seeing countless bodies and blood flowing around him from an unknown battle. But the thing that scared him the most was the malicious eyes that appeared suddenly at the end of the dream causing Naruto to wake up screaming in the first place. When his father came rushing in with his kunai ready asking what was wrong, he explained the dream and the eyes that were laughing at him.
Immediately after hearing as to how long he had been having the dreams, his father rushed him to the Hokage tower to see the Hokage.
After spending more than 2 hours explaining and comforting him, he finally understood everything. The Hokage then proceeded to place a small 3 point element seal over his existing one to minimalize, but not totally cut off the Kyuubi charka from Naruto. They did this in the hope that it would be enough to keep the dreams at bay. It did work, but it was not as effective as they thought it would be. The Kyuubi was still able to send short messages and whispers to Naruto when he slept. The Sandaime could not place a stronger 5 point elemental seal, because Naruto would not be able to withstand the charka pressure buildup within his body.
However Naruto kept strong. After understanding his burden, he vowed to do anything to get stronger…not only that, but he finally understood as to why the villagers seemed to hate him, but the difference now was that Naruto used the looks he got to fuel his determination and hate towards the villagers. Naruto knew The Hokage would be disappointed in him, but as much as he cared for the old man, he could not be bothered with the villagers until they came begging to him for forgiveness, after all he is the son of Morino Ibiki and the unofficial nephew/brother/son of the entire Anbu Gōmon/Jinmon Butai (torture/interrogation squad) and one did not live with them without learning how to be a little sadistic.

After lying in bed and pondering his latest dream, Naruto finally managed to drag himself out of bed to get ready for the academy. He had to prepare himself, as today was the day he could hopefully graduate from being an academy student to a full fledge genin. Granted if he did graduate today he would be placed in the leagues of those such as Hatake Kakashi who graduated when he was 5 and became a chunnin when he was 6, and not to mention Uchiha Itachi who also graduated at and early age but the label of a genius was something he could live with, after all that label was just another thing for him to rub in the faces of the villagers.
Naruto however was resentful towards the academy instructor of his. No matter how hard he tried he was always picked on and his grades always suffered for it. It was stopped after Naruto used one of his father tactics of twisting a kunai through the instructor's thigh after releasing a small amount of killer intent when the teacher insulted his father. The instructor although relatively uninjured was livid and almost attacked Naruto if not for the rest of the students who were screaming and attracting the other instructors nearby. Both he and Naruto were restrained before the Hokage came and settled the matter. After a few stern words and the threat of a personal visit from Morino Ibiki himself, they finally started being fair towards Naruto.
-------------
As Naruto made his way towards the Academy, his thoughts wandered to the 2 girls who were the bane of his very existence, Yuuhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yuugao. The two were best friends and were his so called sempai in the academy, after trying to ruin (in his mind at least) his 3rd birthday, they have done everything to annoy and insult him. At first he fought back but after a couple of years he got tired and started to ignore them, this plan however did not work as hoped as they only redoubled their efforts to make his life a living hell.
"Well if I graduate today I'll show those 2 elephants whose boss. I mean come on it gets tired after trying to get me to bow to them just because they think of themselves a cute…the day I bow to them and call them cute is the day my old man wins Konoha's most handsome ninja award." As Naruto was murmuring to himself, he did not realize that he was already in the class.
He then took a seat and waited for his name to be called.
"Morino Naruto, come up front and perform the kawarimi, henge and bunshin no jutsu" requested one of the instructors.
As Naruto finished his jutsu's he could see that the instructors were reluctant to give him his headband, after all he was the only 7 year old in the class of 10 year old's. Finally after a few discouraging words from the instructors and a snide look from Naruto they finally gave him the Hitai-ate and told him to go home and return the next day for his new teammates and his new jounin instructor.
With a small smirk and a look that told them just what he thought of them, Naruto left the academy and walked towards his new future.
