The darkness of the night had swallowed the land, with only the moon light being the source of light.

the famed Konohagakure was in flames as the villagers panicked, others trying to extinguish the flames while others sought out medical attention.

Far on the out skirts of the village a barrier was formed trapping inside two newborns, a blonde man with a white cloak, and a woman with red vibrant hair with golden chains emerging from her back both individuals were pierced by a claw from the giant fox behind them with chains holding it down.

"Naruto..Ayato..Don't be picky.. Eat lots and grow strong..

Make sure that you bathe every day and stay warm. Also Don't stay up late, You need lots of sleep And make friends.. You don't need a lot of friends..Just a few Ones you can really, really trust..

I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your ninjutsu hard..

Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses..So don't get too depressed if you can't do something well..

Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy..Oh, and this is important.. It's about the Three Prohibitions for a shinobi..

Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money..Put your mission wages into your savings account..

No alcohol until you're twenty.. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation.. Another Prohibition is women..I'm a woman, so I don't know tooq much about this but..All you two need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women..So it's only natural to take an interest in girls..But just don't get hooked on bad women.. Find someone just like me..

Speaking of the Three Prohibitions, be wary of Jiraiya Sensei, you know..

Naruto, Ayato from now on, you both are going to face lots of pain and hardship..

Be true to yourself.. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true..

There's so much.. Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you.. I wish I could stay with you two longer..

I love you" The woman said as tears ran down here cheeks.

"I'm sorry I took your time Minato."

"It's okay." The man said calmly, with a warm yet sad smile on his face.

"(Shiki Fūjin) Reaper Death Seal" the man said after going through a series of hand seals.

The barrier went down as they grew lifeless.

An old man stood there looking at the lifeless bodies. 'Naruto and Ayato' he mentally repeated the new born's names

"Sandaime-sama what about the kids." A masked figure asked. The old man walked up to the kids one had blonde hair with wiskers and the eight trigram seal mark on his belly, and the other had vibrant red hair with little thicker wiskers.

'Life is going to be hard for you two.'


Eight years later.

It had been a couple of months since the duo started the academy and it had already bored one-half of the twin brothers, Ayato Uzumaki. he had knowledge of everything they were taught besides he was considered a prodigy by the sandaime himself and a bunch of anbu.

He walked out of the shower, standing before the mirror he dried his vibrant red hair, he tied his hair up in high spiky ponytail and strands at the sides of his face, like his father he was quite handsome. He had a scar going vertically down through his right eye, he traced the scar with his fingers, A constant reminder of what he was training for.

The door flung open as a panicking Naruto rushed in . "I'm so late! Why didn't you wake me Ayato!!"

"You said you were old enough to wake yourself up, remember?" He said as he walked out the bathroom. "Hurry up and come eat breakfast it's instant ramen." He added as he closed the door, walking towards the kitchen.

Later that morning.

The uzumaki duo entered the classroom and like always Naruto rushed towards a certain pink haired girl sitting next to the uchiha.

"Sakura-chan!!" Before he could even sit he was pumbled by most of all the girls in the class since he was threatening to hide the uchiha's view from them.

With a sigh Ayato walked to the back where he sat with the Aburame boy and the shy hyūga heiress. ignoring the dreamy looks he got from the other girls that didn't seem to like Sasuke.

in front of them being shiromaru, choji and Naruto after recovering from the beating that is.

"Uzumaki-san."

"We have been over this Shino, it is Ayato there is no need to announce a friend formally." he said with a smile.

"Hinata-chan." he greeted the hyuga.

the pupiless eyed girl blushed as he shyly turned to playing with her fingers.

"h-hey Ayato-kun." she stuttered quietly. before going back to her quite nature and becoming invisible to others.

"Friend?!." Shino asked, surprised since no kid liked being around him and his bugs after all.

"What?! you don't want to be friend? " Ayato said with puppy dog eyes.

"No, I didn't mean it like that..-"

"Just messing with you (da)ttebane." he said with a grin. Shino simply nodded before facing forward.

Hokage mansion

Hiruzen Sarutobi the man known as God of shinobi sat at his desk as he puffed out a cloud of smoke, looking at the depressing mountain of paper work before him.

'I've grown to old for this.' he thought as he stared out his window down at the village.

Turning back he looked at the latest report from the anbu.

'Subject: Ayato Uzumaki

Taijutsu:

Subject seems to have great reflexes and flexibility, lacks strength and a proper training in his stance.

Hiruzen smiled at the boy genius that has caught the eye of his old teammate dōnzo although he had forbidden the old war hawk from training the boy into an emotionless killing machine.

It had only been two months since the boy started his training alone with only information from scrolls he constantly borrowed from the sandaime himself.

(Two months back)

Hiruzen sat at his office finalizing the paper work for the arrest of one of the villagers for the incident that happened a week ago.

He was truly disappointed at his villagers act, to seek revenge on an Innocent soul for things he had not done.

A slight knock was heard through out the office. "Come in"

Ayato entered with a bandage covering most of the right side of his face. Hiruzen gave him a sad smile.

The boy almost lost an eye due to the villagers hate towards him.

The boy had grown to interest the bld man for taking all the hate that was directed to his brother for being a Jinchūriki.

He had been the bad influence between him and Naruto. he was the one always glaring, and usually threatening the village bullies making the villagers believe he was the one with the fox spirit inside him that was slowly corrupting him.

Hiruzen had speculated that the boy had began to act so to attract the attention away from Naruto and his actions seemed to be working but when questioned the boy simply acted oblivious.

" How are you feeling Ayato-kun."

"I'm fine ojiisan, just wanted to stop by before heading to the apartment." The boy said as he took a sit before the old kage.

Hiruzen looked at the boy a little puzzled, should they even discharge him this early?."Ohh, so the doctors have discharged you?"

"Yeah, she said I'll be good as new in no time." He said with a grin.

"Good."

Looking around seeing nothing but forms, letters and other forms of paper work Ayato turned to the hokage. "So is there anything else to being hokage besides paper work? "

Hiruzen chuckled. "Well...we protect the village if it is ever attack."

"And how often does that happen?" Ayato asked cockiely.

"Not very often" Hiruzen said as he laughed.

"So doing paper work is your job.. Naruto is so going to be so disappointed once he becomes hokage." He said before laughing along with the old kage.

"You seem confident that he is going to make it."

"That is my brother we are talking about, of course he is going to make it and I'm going to make sure of it." Ayato said proudly with a grin.

"And what is your dream."

"To become stronger than even a kage so I can protect Naruto. "

Hiruzen smiled. "Stronger than a kage? That is a great feat."

"I know and I except the challenge." Hiruzen simply grind at the boy. He showed promise.

The two continued to chat for little while before Ayato set to live.

Standing up he came across a scroll written 'chakra control' he picked it, have a good look at it. It seems old.

"Oi ojiisan, can I borrow this scroll?" Hiruzen turned to him, to see which scroll was he talking about.

"Chakra control?? I believe that scroll won't be of use to you Ayato-kun maybe when you are older."

"Come on jiji!! pretty please!!" The old man simply sighed.

"Okay, make sure to bring it back when you are done." Ayato grind before leaving, waving the old man goodbye.

That evening.

Ayato had just sneaked out of his apartment, and headed to one of the training grounds near by knowing full well that no one was using them at this time.

Unaware of the anbu watching him he began trying the tree climbing exercise only to fail on his first couple of times. Ayato sat on the ground he was doing everything right like the scroll said.

He approached the stump and placed one leg on it as he began slowly sending chakra to it then the other, in no time he was halfway up the tree.

This rapid improvement shocked the anbu, This was an impressive feat for a kid his age.

Fully Mastering the amount of chakra sent to his feet, ayato set to the next stage: how long can he keep the flow constant.

The anbu sat there in awe, it had been three hours since Ayato was standing upside down on a thick branch. How big were this kid's chakra reserves.

In three nights time he was able to keep a leaf balanced on his head with chakra while standing upside down and walk on water for 3 and half hours before fatigue set in.

The hokage was impressed at the boys improvement from what the anbu have told him Ayato was able to complete training that took genin days or weeks in just 2 nights.

The fith night of his training the anbu decided to test the kid some more as he jumped down from three.

"Oi" Ayato turned to him a little panicked.

"Ohh.. It's just you Anbu-san what do you want?"

"I just wanted to see if you want to learn a cool jutsu that is all." with those words Ayato's eyes lit up in excitement.

"Sure!!"

The anbu shifted his mask a bit before going through a series of hand seals that Ayato studied well."(Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu)Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" anbu expelled a huge fireball from his mouth.

Ayato looked at the fire ball in amazement as he mattered "cool"

"Now you try."

Ayato went through the same sat of seals. "(Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu)Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique" he said as he took a deep breath and simultaneously kneaded the chakra in his lungs Infusing it with the inhaled air before exhaling out a fire ball as big as the anbu.

"Nicely done kid, on you first try." Ayato simply grind as a small blush dustered his cheeks.

This continued for the passed 2 mouth he continued to learn jutsu from watching other ninja train or genin test and other c ranked jutsu from the anbu and constantly reading scrolls that the hokage allowed.

End of flashback)

Iruka entered the noisy classroom, standing before the class of kids that didn't even notice his presence, with a tick on his head.

"EVERYONE QUIET!!! " and with that the class fell into silence.

"Now..(ahem)...as you all know today is the last day of the month and it's evaluation time So I hope you all have be working hard on your taijutsu and shuriken jutsu, chakra control and studies, Especially you Naruto." he said as he glared at the blonde, whom sheepishly scratched the back of his head with a wide grin.

Ayato sighed of course his brother didn't study or practicing but this was a good thing, if he continued he will be able to keep his innocence for a little longer, after all the world they were preparing for was going to strip him of his innocence.

The red haired sat up straight as iruka placed a piece of paper in front of him filled with complex questions for someone his age. the questions where complex but still from the topics he had covered the past months.

' history, chakra nature transformation and strategy...is he trying to sabotage me?' he thought as he gazed through the paper.

"begin." Iruka said and immediately they all started. Ayato took a quick peek of Shino's paper and...

they where the same.

'what the hell..'

The timer hit one hour mark hit, iruka simple sighed looking at the timer at his table." an hour left." He turned to look at his class, to whom was cheating only to come across Ayato with his hand raised.

He had been finishing first in the class room since the beginning of the yeah and he always got full marks on his tests.

He made sure to give them a slightly diluted vision of the genin test, to root out hiden talent amongst them. He stared at the boy before him, his violet eyes staring through him, carrying a slight feeling of boredom.

"Ahem.. Are sure you are done Ayato."

The hole class stared at the boy in shock, even the uchiha stared at him. This test was challenging.

'How!." The uchiha thought as he clenched his fist. He seemed to be better than him at everything.

"Yes. I'm done." Iruka humbled himself before setting to go up at the boy and collect his paper.

He scanned through the answers, 'Another perfect score!.' he stole a quick glance at the boy amazed by his genius.

The next hour passed by fast as the class retreated to the grounds to practice shuriken jutsu and taijutsu.

The test went smoothly as Ayato defeated his apponent with swift, yet proficient blows and scoring 10/10 in shuriken jutsu with impressive speed and swift hand movement illuding his classmates make it seem like he threw one shuriken where else hiding the other in the shadows.

'Making the targets focus their attention on whichever of the two shuriken is on top, not noticing the second shuriken travelling below it. Ideally, targets will dodge the upper shuriken in such a way that they are left unable to dodge the second. The Kage Shuriken no Jutsu(Shadow Shuriken Technique.)' Iruka thought as the other students wondered where they came from.

Naruto and Sasuke growled simultaneously, Ayato's increasing power was really getting on their nerves. They looked at each other noticing they just did the same thing, only for both of them to turn opposite directions with their chin raised high.

"Teme/Baka" they said simultaneously as they walked in opposite directions.


The day went by well with the kids learning more about their history and having been promised to get their scores the following day, they all went home with their parents while others traveled in groups.

the Uzumaki duo headed to the ichiraku stand with one half begging the other to teach them shuriken jutsu.

"Ayame-chan." Ayato greeted calm politely, entering the stand.

"oi Ayame-nee, a bawl of miso ramen please!!." Naruto yelled with his usual brashness, and immediately went back to his brother.

"Come on you gotta teach me that awesome shuriken jutsu!! with it I can finally beat that teme!."

Ayame came to the counter with a rather displeased look on her face only to smack Naruto on the back of the head.

"manners Naruto!! you exchange greetings you don't just walts in here yelling and stuff."

"sorry Ayame-nee."

"you better..anyways how are you boys?? how was the academy today."

"you know same as usual. pork ramen."l Ayato said with a shrug.

"Ayato knows shuriken jutsu and refuses to teach me." Naruto said pointing an accusing finger at his brother.

"Oi I never said I'm not going to, I'll teach you when you can finally throw a shuriken straight Baka!!." Ayato said agitated.

"I too can throw a shuriken straight tomato-head."

"take it back!"

"never!!!" Naruto declared as Ayame bought the duo their food, laughing at their little squabble.

she soon had to intervene as Ayato tried to drown Naruto in a bowl of ramen.the boy really didn't like people making fun of his hair colour.


Hokage mansion.

"Come in." Hiruzen said as he looked up from his paper work. Iruka entered the office.

"Hokage-sama."

"what brings you here Iruka-kun??" the old man asked, he was quite sure he did not request his presence.

"it's about Ayato Uzumaki." he said as he placed the test paper on Hiruzen's desk.

"The boy Is one of the most intelligent kids In my class, he has natural talent in Shuriken jutsu and chakra control and I believe he has more up his sleeve than he shows. He is wasting his time in the academy."

" I am aware of Ayato-kun's potential but we are not at war Iruka-kun there is no need to strip children of their childhood and innocent, I prefer we let them be children for a little while longer but then again it is his choice if he wants to graduate or not, he is the one you should be talking to." Hiruzen said calmly, placing the paper down in favor of his pipe.

Iruka nobbed in understanding, the Kage was right this decision should be the boy's and that the Shinobi world was certainly not for children, it can get overwhelming and traumatizing.

this was truly something to sleep on.


the sun was setting, painting the sky orange as the Uzumaki duo layed on the ground both dirty and tired... well one was tired more than the other.

they had been polishing up on Shuriken aim and throwing especially Naruto before working on their Taijutsu.

Above them sat Ayato's shadow clone with a scroll in hand it had been studying more about chakra affinities, more specifically yin and yang release it was quite fascinating but unfortunately little to nothing was known about them in this scroll at least. 'maybe there is more about it in the library... but I need to be genin for that... bummer.' he thought before it poofed out of existence.

"let's go Naruto." Ayato said standing up. Naruto grinned and with a kip up he was up straight with his brother on his side.

"you definitely going to teach me that Shuriken jutsu tomorrow, right??"

"(sigh) yeah, why not? "

"all right!!! one step closer to winning Sakura-chan over, dattebayo!" ayato simply sweet dropped at that statement.

'this obsession is getting out of hand.'
