The crashing of buildings and crackling of the burning wood could be heard throughout the village. A man wearing a white coat saying "Fourth Hokage" stood atop a giant frog, face to face with a red nine tailed fox, seemingly in a seething rage. "You can't kill me Yondaime Hokage, even if you would try I would be reborn after a few months."

"I sure as hell can't kill you buuuut, my wife taught me something important, how to seal your dumbass away." Chains with a slight aura of gold surrounded and tied the fox down, it's rage growing as it screams out. The fox was brought to his stomach as a crying baby was brought to the head of it. The blonde man stood in front of the baby and said three things, "Sorry Naruto, I love you and now Sealing Technique: Dead Demon Consuming Seal!" The hokage had a tear in his eyes as he saw his wife dead and her brother nearby. "Protect him." As these final words were said a shadow of what one could only describe as the demon of death himself came from his back, forcing the nine tailed beast into the body of the child, and killing the user of the jutsu on it's way out of our plane. The uncle of the child picked him up and held him for the whole village to see.

"THIS IS OUR SAVIOR, THE JINCHURIKI OF THE NINE TAILED FOX! NARUTO UZUMAKI." The ninja of the village all looked at each other and started cheering, while the man holding the child was crying, he had lost more on this day than anyone. To his knowledge he had lost the last bit of his clan, as well as a close step-brother. Now it was his job to raise the next tool of war, the next holder of the nine tailed fox, like his sister and their ancestor before them.

Five Years Later

"You'll never catch me Uncle Akihiro! I'm way too fast." A small blonde boy with spiky hair was running down the hall of an apartment building. He was wearing a white tee shirt with a red spiral on the back, and a pair of navy blue cargo shorts. He strangely had whisker marks on his face. Chasing after the boy was a somewhat short man with a long blood red pony tail. He was wearing a dark green flak vest and navy blue cargo pants. From the looks of it he wore nothing under the vest, but still had a white tank top. The vest itself had the same mark as the boy's shirt on the back.

"Naruto get back here and quite down! Other people live here too and I can't afford somewhere else if we get kicked out!" The man was the same as he was on that day 5 years ago, expect the bags under his eyes. He was running for quite a while, not knowing where Naruto got his energy from other than the blood line. He was starting to get tired of their game of cat and mouse, and used Shunshin to almost teleport himself onto Naruto, picking him up from under the armpits, and looking at him face to face. "Tomorrow I start teaching you the clan techniques got it? I mean not be able to do any of them but I got my own theories."

"Uncle Akihiro how are you a Jonnin if you are so weak? Aren't they the strongest ninja?" Akihiro frown at this as he kept Naruto in his hands, walking into their shabby apartment.

"Yes and no. Naruto the Jonnin can also be the most specialized ninja, some know how to crawl around in your head, others can stop you with just a shadow. Hell some can even light you on fire just by looking." Naruto just looked at him questioningly. "What I'm saying is strength isn't my cup of tea. Smarts is! I'm a chakra Theorist. I make guesses about how to use chakra and how to improve clan techniques from every clan. I know how to use most clan techniques, although I can't teach them to anyone or they'll make mince meat of me." A bit of sweat rolled down his head as he put Naruto down in bed. "Now goodnight, and tomorrow we start work on our own clan techniques."

"Good night Uncle Akihiro! See you in the morning." Naruto fell fast asleep so he could get to learning tomorrow. While he hated learning, he loved the idea of knowing how his clan fights. He was amazed that the two of them alone had some property in the village, even if there wasn't a house on it. Just a shabby building with some weird masks in it. He hated the feeling of that place, and had no clue why.

The next morning, Naruto had found himself, not in his house but in the woods, with his uncle next to him. He was sitting there cheerfully eating a bowl of ramen. "Wakey wakey no breakfast for those who wake up latey. Come on it's time to train. If you do well afterward I may just get you some ramen." Naruto shot up at the chance to earn ramen on top of being able to learn how his clan fights. He then stood at attention in front of his, now smirking, uncle. "Great now then, we are going to start with chakra control. Go grab a leaf and hold it to your forehead." Naruto quickly did as told still grinning like a mad man. "Now let go and keep it there. Once you can do that, we move onto the next step." Naruto looked at him like he was crazy, then Akihiro did the same with his kunai. "Get to it kid."

Naruto had tried and tried again and again, until he finally did it for about all of three seconds. "Good job kiddo, now do it for thirty seconds." Naruto visibly frowned.

"What do you mean hold this stupid leaf here for thirty seconds?! I can't do it for three!" Naruto threw the leaf on the ground.

"Once you do that, I can start teaching you my theoretical badass Taijutsu style." He grinned and looked up, closing his eyes. "I don't have enough chakra to do it, but you definitely do, and it's super kick ass. I bet you could even beat that Uchiha kid that's already a Jonnin." Naruto's eyes sparkled at that thought, and stuck the leaf to his head yet again. Akihiro just watched as he laid down to take a nap.

Once he had woken up, he looked around to see Naruto nowhere nearby. He started to freak out, as he also noticed that his kunai from before was missing. He heard Naruto scream out not too far away and bolted towards it full speed. He saw three kids standing around him and a girl from the Hyuga clan on the ground. He also Naruto with a large gash across his chest, standing in front of the girl and he started to yell. "HEY YOU STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED ME OFF, IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HIT A GIRL WHILE I'M AROUND YOU ARE DEAD WRONG." He smirked at the thought of Naruto already being a gentleman, then his smirk disappeared when the kid that had obviously taken the kunai from Naruto slashed him across the face, causing it to bleed profusely. This set Akihiro off. Now he wasn't a strong ninja, or great in a fight, but he still had Uzumaki blood in them. Once they get mad, it's almost like their chakra boils outside of their skin. He dashed behind the one that had taken the kunai and grabbed him by the wrist.

"Bullying a little girl and my sweet little nephew right in front of me huh?" His face was one of pure rage, the skin on the child's hand burning from the chakra being let off from Akihiro. He quickly bent it back and snapped it, looking at the other two. "You two aren't innocent at all either. Let me teach you a lesson." He broke all of their fingers instead of arms, leaving scorch marks all across their hands. "There, now run home and tell your parents, I DARE YOU." The Aura of heat left his body as he grabbed both his out cold nephew and the girl. "Here let me bring you to the hospital just to make sure you aren't hurt, okay?" She nodded and hopped on his back, while he hopped along carrying Naruto in his arms. He quickly got them to the hospital with little to no effort, and it turns out other than blood lose and a few bruises, other than the scars the cuts would leave, Naruto was okay, and the Hyuga girl only had a couple bruises. Naruto would still be out cold for a couple days, but other than that we was free to go afterward. The girl kept coming back to visit him both days, only this time accompanied by a bodyguard, of Jonnin level. She didn't come back after he woke up though and he had no memory of the event.

Once he was let free it was time to train yet again, and seemingly it was as if something snapped in his brain, and he could easily stick the leaf to his head, not for only thirty seconds but he did it for a full 5 minutes. Then he got bored, and let it drop. "Well then kiddo, it's time to teach you how to stick to trees, the next level of what you were doing. Now normally they only teach this to Genin, but you will need it for my fighting style I've come up with for you."

"ALL RIGHT! LET'S DO IT." Naruto got pumped up and just ran up the tree, not using his chakra to stick to it at all, he just straight up ran up the tree until the first branch.

"Okay get down from there and use the leaf technique to walk up slowly." Akihiro jumped up to the point on the tree and pushed Naruto off, leading to him landing flat on this face. "No complaining, you need to get his as often as possible to build pain tolerance, ignoring those scars. You deserved those for thinking you could fight three on one with just a kunai and no training." Naruto frowned and put his first foot on the tree and as he went to put his second, he lost balance and fell flat on his ass. Akihiro laughed at him and said, "keep going or else you're never gonna get that girl you saved to like you!" Naruto blushed and tried again, this time getting two steps up before falling back on his ass. It continued like this for days, until it was time for Naruto to enroll in the ninja academy. But on his final day, Naruto had done it. He made his way all the way to the top, and gotten onto the branch. "Now, I leave the Academy to teach you, and I will just watch, unless you're gonna fail, at which point I may help out.

"NO FAIR, you said you would teach me cool stuff. All I can do is walk on walls!" Naruto whined to his Uncle.

"I'll teach you more once you graduate. Besides, the Taijutsu I want to teach you is too dangerous to be used on comrades anyway."
