Being a ANBU was hard. He always knew it would be a hard and long path to take to get power but he never imagined that it would be this had. Simply put Kakashi was a bastard, at least in Naruto's eyes he was. Kakashi would always show up three hours late , and even though he was the one late he would always demand insane amounts of training "to make up time" as he called it.
Though Naruto would never admit it he could tell that Kakashi's training was helping him. But to make maters worse he was also training with Jiraiya almost every day so that he would get the use of his eyes down.

1 year later
"So Kakahi, Jiraiya how is his training going?" the Hokage asked.
"Well I would say that he could easily qualify for a jounin now and he probably could even be a ANBU squad captain to, though I have no idea if anyone would actually listen to a nine year old hell some find it hard enough to just work alongside him." Kakashi lazily said.
"And with you Jiraiya, how does his training go with you?"
"The kid is good. I am still amazed that he even was able to activate the eyes already. But back on the topic. Well he has almost mastered the first level, but since the seconded has not opened yet there is nothing I can do. "
"And what would you recommend we do with him next?"
"Well the boy does need a summoning contract. Though he has already said that he will never sign mine, so I am at a lost to do about that." Jiraiya said.
"Well if he won't take toads how about snakes?" Jiraiya asked
"But Jiraiya-sama the only one who has that contract that is still lyolal is Anko, and well she is a little strange when it comes to techniques. She would never agree." Kakashi said.
"Let the boy make his own contract." The Hokage said.
"What?" Both Kakashi and Jiraiya said at the same time.
"Well Naruto-kun seems to be strong enough to handle summoning and by now most of the animal creatures probably know he is the Uzumaki heir. The Uzumaki's were after all rather well liked in the animal world I am sure that he will be able to find the favor of some tribe." The Hokage said.
"Well that is all true but how is a nine year olds posed to find the favor of a tribe?" Kakashi asked.
"Well depending on what tribe he runs into he will most likely have to display some kind of strength that impresses the boss." Jiraiya said.
"Well now that is done with how is the rest of his training going?" The Hokage asked.
"Well he seems to be showing a good amount of skill in the use of his katana, and his ninjutsu is very good to, but in the field of genjutsu he just plain sucks. In his missions he has never failed to complete a objective and for his age he shows the leadership abilities of a captain, though I assume it is because of his training with Jiraiya-sama here." Kakaasi said a hint of pride in his usual laid back voice.
"I would love to say that his leadership is from me Kakashi-san, but I am afraid that is actual kind of sad. You see Naruto has no real friends and does not understand caring and other human emotions. Because of the lack of feeling he is always able to see the objective and the objective alone. In fact he sounds almost like you Kakashi." Jiraiya said.
"Hmm that is a problem now isn't it. Unfortunately the children in Naruto's own age group simply don't recognize him." The Hokage said.
"Because of this Naruto has closed himself off to the world. It seems the only thing that he dreams about is getting more power." Jiraiya said
" Is there no way to get him to interact with his own age group?" Kakashi asked.
"Their parents hate has clouded their judgment. Most would never set foot near him let alone be his friend. Many of these children are the sons and daughters of council members who most likely want to use this hate as a way to turn him into a weapon., but with all this hate there is a chance that he could abandon us just like Orochimaru. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Naruto as usual was deep in the woods training. Training was his life. If he wasn't training physically than he would be of training mentally by reading scrolls and other things. He really had no idea if he liked it or not, it was just all he knew how to do.
When he was younger he remembered trying to make friends. H never made one. When ever he would try to go near any of the other children they would always be rushed away by one of their parents. He had tried for so long. But now he knew that it was a useless cause. All he wanted was power. He really didn't care how he got it, he just wanted to be known.
-
Deep in the Stone country nine people were having a meeting.
"It seems that the brat has gotten much more powerful than expected." one man said
"Well it is to be expected. He was trained by a sanin for over two years." Another member said.
"Yes but it seems that he has become even more alienated because of his training." Yet another said.
"This is good. It seems that his only goal is power." The first speaker said.
"With this he might just come on his own free will." Another said
" His loyalties are not deep. If we get him soon we might just be able to re grow new loyalties to us." The seconded speaker said.
"But who should be sent?" Yet another member said.
"Itachi and Kisame would be able to send a strong message of what true power is, send them." A man said who sat in the center.
"Yes of course they all said." And as quickly as they all said it they were gone.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It started off like any usual day. After doing his morning training he went to training field seven were he began his three hour wait for Kakashi to arrive. The waiting use to bother him but he soon learned how to meditate and the time was eventually used to do that instead of being bored. When Kakashi arrived he made his usual excuse and than said that they had the rest of the week off and simply left.
So now he had four hours that were once meant for team training to do, well nothing. Naruto long ago had decided that his life must be scheduled out , which for the most part worked fine. Kakashi was the exception. The man was so unpredictable that Naruto would often mess up on his schedule and his whole day would be ruined.
Today Naruto decided to take a walk into the village. He often would try to avoid the village but today he decided that it would be fine. As he causally walked along he soon found himself passing the Academy.
Naruto had never been to the academy. He knew that he would never have to go and frankly he was grateful. He really didn't think that he could spend the whole day with so many people his own age. Naruto long ago had realized that he was different from kids his own age. Not the different in that no one would talk to him, but the different in that he was much more mature than kids him own age. Unfortunately Naruto's thinking would soon be interrupted by a bell ringing.
With the ringing off the bell The doors of the Academy flew open and kids instantly rushed out yelling and screaming. Naruto decided to simply ignore this and decide to continue his walk when a boy around his age came crashing into him.
The boy quickly got up dusted himself off and began to say "Hey I am really sorry mister…" he didn't finish his statement as he looked wide eyed at Naruto. "Hey I know who you are." he excitedly said. "You must be that Naruto kid right. I have heard about you. They say that you are really strong." The Boy yelled drawing a crowd.
A the crowd of kids began to grow Naruto began to fell very uncomfortable. As he began to weave his way through the crowd he soon felt a hand on his shoulder. Looking around he saw it was a kid about his age with black hair who had stopped him.
"Fight me" he said.
In the crowd almost all of the girls began to squeal with joy yelling about how cool their Sasuke-kun was and other such thing like how Sasuke-kun was going to kick his ass.
"No." Naruto simply said.
"Ha I knew it. The rumors about you being a child prodigy are lies after all than." Sasuke said a hint of the Uchiha superiority in his voice.
"It's not that Uchiha. I simply think that the Hokage would not take kindly to me killing a academy student even if he is a baka ." Naruto said as he began to walk again.
As Naruto began to walk away he could feel that hate pouring out of the young Uchiha. As Naruto exited the crowd Sasuke couldn't believe it. No one ever dared insult him. He was the last Uchiha, he was the best in his class, and here a nobody who wanted to pretend to be a ANBU dared insult him. He knew how to show him
Sasuke flew forward preparing to aim a kick right at that Asshole's head. Off course Naruto saw it coming. Not only was his style horrible but he was letting his anger control him. Naruto quickly ducked the kick and sent his own sweeping kick at Sasuke's feet knocking him down. But Naruto wanted him to fear him. Faster than any of the academy students could see Naruto had his foot on Sasuke's head, his Katana at Sasuke's throat. Just to add a little affect Naruto activated his eyes.
To say the least the crowd was shocked. Here a nobody had defeated their beloved Sasuke-kun. But what really scared them was Naruto's eyes. No longer were they the bright blue they were now silver and his pupils shaped like diamonds. Though not all not all were shocked. Hyuuga Neji was simply shocked. He had heard about those eyes. Being a member of the Hyuuga clan even the branch family meant that they would have to be the best and one of these things was Konoha history. Neji knew without a doubt that he was seeing the last Uzumaki in action.
Naruto had soon decided that he had lost interest and had sheathed his own sword and began walking away when Kakashi appeared.
"Captain, how are you." Naruto tried to causally say.
"Naruto Hokage's office. Now." Kakashi said and with that Naruto and Kakashi dispersed in a puff of smoke. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Hokage was pissed. If the council found out that Naruto had "attacked"(as the council would put it) the last Uchiha there would be Hell to pay. Sure Naruto was the last of his clan to but having a demon inside off you really doesn't help you in stories like this.
He really didn't know what the council would do. On one hand they could simply brush it off, but on the other hand they could severely reprimand Naruto, Hell they could even exile him if they really wanted to, but he knew that was going to far. But it was at that moment that the council decided to appear.
As the council marched into the room led by Hyuuga Hiashi the Hokage knew that this was not going to be his day.
"Hokage-sama, is it true that the Uzumaki boy attacked the Uchiha boy?" a council asked with a face that showed he was worried.
"No." The Hokage could see the council breath a sigh of relief. "The Uzumaki boy was defending himself." At this the crowd instantly grew angry again.
"Hokage-sama we can not tolerate the Uzumaki boy going around and picking fights." Hyuuga Hiashi said.
"Now, now, I said that Naruto was simply defending himself. The Uchiha boy was the one who attacked him." The Hokage said.
"He was probably provoked by him." one consoler yelled.
"Now I assure you Naruto was only acting in self defense. Besides this defeat might help the Uchiha realize that there are better people out there then him." The Hokage said.
"Hokage-sama by now the news has reached almost the whole town. We cannot sit back and let the boy escape punishment. He will have to punished for this." Hyuuga Hiashi said sternly.
"And what do you propose Hiashi?" the Hokage said.
"I propose that the Uzumaki.." the statement was interrupted by a puff off smoke announcing Naruto and Kakashi's arrival.
As soon as the smoke cleared Naruto and Kakashi both bowed to the Hokage and Naruto began the talking. "Hokage-sama I heard that you wanted to talk to me."
"Yes Naruto that is true. It seems that today you got in a fight with a Uchiha Sasuke today, is that true?"
"Yes Hokage-sama."
"And if you could please be so kind could you please tell us what happened."
"Well I was walking by the academy when a boy saw me and yelled out that I was really strong. The Uchiha overheard this and challenged me to a fight which I refused. After refusing the fight I began to walk away but he decided to attack me so I defended myself. Simple.
"Thank you Naruto. You and Kakashi may leave." and with that Naruto and Kakashi both disappeared in a blast of smoke.
"Now Hiashi do you really think that he deserves to be punished for that?"
"He was probably lying!" one councilor yelled.
"Hokage-sama the boy did engage in a fight with a boy of much lower rank than him. The town has heard about this and they will want punishment. I think that the boy should be relived of all of his duty's for now until the council is able to come up with a much more fitting punishment." Hyuuga Hiashi explained obvious that he was enjoying this a little to much.
"Fine fine"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Being suspended was many things, but the easiest way to describe it was that it sucked. There was just nothing to do. At least nothing to do if you were Naruto. It was at times like this were he really hated the village. The stares were bad enough but now that word had gotten out that he beat up the Uchiha kid things had gotten much worse.
Deciding that he was not wanted in the village anymore Naruto went out to the woods to meditate and try to clear his mind. At least that's what he wanted to do, unfortunately his thoughts kept interrupting him as he kept on wondering why he was punished for defending himself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It was a well known fact in the village of Konoha that the three great clans never got along. A huge part of this was simply power but there were many underlying issues at well that overtime people just forgot about, yet the hate stayed.
Uchiha Sasuke was not raised with this hate(on the fact that his clan was killed to early for it to set in) but at this moment he hated Uzumaki Naruto. Sasuke knew that he would have to grow powerful to kill his brother, but the fact that a boy who was his age could so easily beat him drove him crazy. The Uchiha were the strongest they were not supposed to be beat by some nobody who just walked down the street.
He trained everyday and yet the boy was able to defeat him so easily. And the eyes. Sasuke had seen those eyes. He knew that they meant that the boy had a dojutsu, but what confused him was which one. He always thought that the Hyuuga and the Uchiha were the only two clans in Konoha who had dojutsus.
Sasuke knew that he would have to get revenge on that boy and show him that the Uchiha are not defeated that easily.
Come on people you have to review.
