Chapter 1 : I Swear On My Arse

Naruto, Age 1

It was a sunny day in the Village of Konoha. Was. By night fires were ablaze, houses were destroyed and people were scared. So they should be. A demon fox, one so powerful that with one swoop of it's tail could create tsunamis and flatten mountains, was terrorising the town.

"Kyuubi! Have you ever thought about death?" A blonde haired man said, eyeing the beast in front of him. The whole forest had been destroyed because of the great battle going on, and in the middle of the destruction was a man and his giant frog, and an even bigger nine-tailed fox.

"Have you?" Kyuubi replied, his red fur blazing under the moon, giving it the illusion of fire. Baring his large teeth, he let out a laugh. "I am immortal, Hokage-fool! Death has no place for me!"

"Who are we to decide who lives and dies?... Kyuubi-chan..." The blonde nin laughed back, to the annoyance of Kyuubi who was currently plotting to kill the man. "But... I happen to know some one who can decide for us...!" With one last look the blonde nin performed the required handseals, said the jutsu, and a being even more terrifying than the Kyuubi appeared. "COME GOD OF DEATH!"

The giant purple demon, with long white hair and two horns drew its sword from its black robe. The blonde nin didn't even wince as the Shinigami pushed his sword through his body.For a second Kyuubi thought he had won. Technically, he would've been right. But for one who has lived for so long, life isn't usually run by technicalities.

The blonde nin closed his eyes as he felt his soul being stripped away from him, joining the past Hokages. He smiled as he saw his legacy, his son, crying in his makeshift cott.

"Don't cry Naruto... Everything will be much better..." The Hokage smiled, soothing the young boy. The boy stopped his loud crying as if he understood, and just stared at the Hokage wishing him to come to him. As the Hokage left the boy began crying again, but his cries were drowned out by Kyuubi. Kyuubi let out a screaming howl as he felt his body being pulled away from him.

The last thing he saw was a young child bearing the same blonde hair and blue eyes of the man that just cursed him. He winced as he said the final words to the village - "I'll be back!"

The form of Kyuubi disappeared, into the body ofthe tiny baby, as a seal formed on his chest. The giant frog, held the lifeless body of his former master in his hands, before gently laying the body on the ground, where countless nins rushed to. With a poof, and a moment of sadness, the frog was gone - leaving a village of confused people, who didn't know whether to rejoice, or mourn. But one thing gathered from the villagers. The boy must be killed, before the Kyuubi can succeed in his final wish.


Narurto, Age 5

"Please...Stop!" The blonde haired boy managed to say, between hiscoughs of blood, and sobs. He rubbed the side of his bloody head, looking up at his attacker. "Why?" He managed to cry.

"Hit him again!" Another voice called.

"Kill the demon!" More said. The attacker brought down his club again, hitting the blonde boy down, rendering him unconcious.

"Finish him!" The crowd chanted. The man raised the bat again on the five year old boy. Getting ready to swing he brought down the bat as hard as he could against his head. Once. Twice. Three times. All that was left was a blood puddle and a lifeless body. As the man turned away from his dirty deed, he looked back to see something none had expected. His stab wounds started healing, the bruises and scars on his body were gone. He head looked undamaged - but most importantly, the boy got up.

This was a different boy, this boy was the demon they orginally intended to kill. Claws came from fingernails, razor sharp teeth grew, innocent blue eyes turned deadly red, and unlike before, he was ready to kill.

"Which one of you tried to kill me!" The voice growled. The group turned back, raising their weapons to defend themselves. Before either side had a chance to attack a black haired man stood in between the two groups. The demon boy lunged for him, but with a quick movement, the man placed a seal on the boy's head, changing him back to an unconcious boy, and with a jutsu, him and the boy were gone.


"I cannot believe the villagers would try and pull of a stunt like this!" Sandaime grumbled, shocking the nin in front of him. The black haired nin was holding an unconcious boy, who didn't seem to notice anything around him.

"It was bound to happen, I apologize for not being able to prevent it sooner..." The nin bowed. "I'm surprised the Kyuubi woke up so early though, he needs supervision, sir, or another outbreak like this could happen."

"Can you recommend anybody who is willing to take in this boy?" Sandaime raised an eyebrow, looking at the young nin before him. He already knew what the nin had planned, but he would rather hear it from him instead.

"Me." The nin said, satisfying the Hokage. The Hokage smiled for a while, twiddling his thumbs. It was a habit for him to play these mental games on his nins, a bad habit from his war times. He breathed, and let out his answer.

"No." The Hokage replied. Before the nin had a chance to ask why, Sandaime gave out his list of answers. "Firstly. You are ten. Secondly, you are only a Chuunin."

"But.."

"No buts. Unless you want to make a deal?"

"I know what I must do..." The black haired nin said, nodding. "I will be his guardian, and I will go to higher ranks! Trust me Hokage, if I don't become an ANBU captain in three years, then I will give up being a nin!"

"Are you sure?" Sandaime raised an eyebrow. "This'll be a first, and ANBU captain is the highest rank... And he will be a big responsibility..."

"It is possible Sandaime."

"You're willing to put your career on the line to take care of Uzumaki Naruto?" Sandaimeasked. "Why?" Sandaime asked skeptically.

"As I was young, they recognised my strength, and started training me to be a monster... I don't want the same thing to happen to him, he could become even worse than me... His power could be made for something good, and anyway,you know what they call me." The black haired nin made a sly smile.

"The Uchiha Genius." Sandaime sighed.

"Not exactly." The black haired nin stretched. "They call me the Itachi, the Uchiha Monster."


Naruto could barely open his eyes, as he sat on the hospital bed. He strained to remember how he got here, and what he was doing in a hospital anyway.

"With my chakra, you'll be out of here in minutes..." A voice, dwelling inside of Naruto's head said. Naruto was shocked, as he was suddenly transported to a place in his subconcious. Wrapped up in bandages, and still in the hospital bed, Naruto was facing a very large, jailed Kyuubi. Naruto's instincts told him to fear, to be scared, but something soothed him, washing away the feeling and brought around wonder. He looked around and observed his surroundings. The Kyuubi was much bigger than ever, much bigger than he was ever told. He enjoyed the flames dancing on the Kyuubi's back, but with a quick growl, the Kyuubi got Naruto's attention.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked, using his five year old sense of curiousity.

"I am the current resident of your body, Kyuubi the nine-tailed demon fox." The fox replied. His voice seemed to bounce of invisible walls, giving an eerie echo effect. "What kind of a boy are you?" The Kyuubi growled again.

"What do you mean?"

"Your only five years old, and I already had to come out and save your ass from those angry mobsters!" Kyuubi yelled.

"R-S?" Naruto tested his new swearword. "What is an R-S?"

"A Naruto, not R." Kyuubi sighed. "Ass, your bum, but I meant save your life just then."

"So, my bum's my life?" Naruto wondered.

"Never mind." Kyuubisaid, asa large sweatdrop dropped from his head. "Do you wanna make a deal with a devil?" Kyuubi grinned, Naruto was taken aback by the size of his large teeth.

"So you're the devil now?" Naruto asked. "Where's your horns?"

"NO!"

"Then Okay."

"Fine, you keep yourself alive okay? Otherwise I'll come in and take over again okay?"

"But how will I keep myself alive?" Naruto asked.

"Eat right, drink right, use the toilet often... etc..."

"As in if they attack me again!"

"Naruto, when you wake up, you'll see a black-haired nin. Trust him. He will train you up, and as he trains you, I will help."

"OKAY!" Naruto nodded smiled. "I'll do itto become Hokage!"

"You swear you'll train hard and not get yourself killed?" Kyuubi asked. He enjoyed his sleeps, but killing once in the while was something he also liked.

"I swear it on my R-S!" Naruto held a hand to his chest.

"Kid, this is gonna be one hell of a relationship."


Naruto, Age 8

"So Naruto-san, what is your dream?" The black haired nin asked.

"How many times must I tell you?" The hyperactive eight-year old blonde asked. "TO BE HOKAGE!"

"Really?" The black haired nin played with a kunai in his hands, watching the boy running around in the grass. They were both happy, because here, they both felt free. Hanging around outside in the forests surrounding Konoha, where no one knew them, or could judge them.

"C'mon Itachi-kun!" The blonde-boy said. "I thought you said you were going to teach me something today!"

"Ah, yes, Naruto-san." Itachi smiled, messing up his head with his hand, to the annoyance of Naruto. "Oh c'mon, Naruto-san, it's not like your hair will be important in a battle! Come at me, if you can hit me once, then I will teach you something new."

"Okay! I will use the taijutsu techniques you taught me last time!" Naruto smiled.At 8 years old, under the tutelage of Itachi he had made much progress, and this had seemingly improved Itachi's motivation to try harder. Naruto slowly moved to a fighting stance Itachi showed him previously.

"Don't shake your leg so much, get down lower - I know it probably hurts but you'll get used to it!" Itachi said. Naruto charged with a kunai. When Itachi blocked Naruto spin kicked him. Naruto turned back into his brawling style of fighting and lunged for Itachi. Itachi dodged as Naruto tried to sneak in another punch. Itachi grabbed his hand and twisted it around his back, then pinned him to the ground. "Give up?"

"Nope." Naruto grinned. Using his free left hand, he threw a kunai aimed at Itachi's head. Right before it made contact, Itachi exploded, sending Naruto into another tree.

"Your kick should apply more force, and a better snapping action in the knees. Like this!" Itachi kicked Naruto in the stomach, sending him back into a tree.

"Hey Itachi-kun! Don't you have an ANBU mission today?" Naruto asked, to which Itachi smiled again.

"ANBU, what kind of low ranking ANBU do you think I am?" Itachi smiled.

"You... you were promoted?" Naruto asked, to which Itachi grinned.

"Yeah... Otouto..." Itachi smiled. "I also got this for you. I once copied a woman who could knit very good shirts." Itachi handed Naruto a shirt. It was the exact same as the Uchiha shirt, black, but instead of the fan on the back there was a yellow swirl,like Naruto's Uzumaki swirl on his back.

"Hey Itachi what's this?" Naruto asked, holding up an envelope.

"That's for later. I want you to read that tomorrow morning, not now anyway." Itachi said.

"Yeah, because now you are going to teach me a jutsu! Because of course, I hit you!" Naruto grinned.

"That I will do! Now let's begin!" The two went on, fighting until the late afternoon. And when Itachi felt Naruto had truly learnt the jutsu, him and Naruto walked back to the village, happy with today's training session.


Naruto got home. He couldn't help it. The anxiety. He reached out with his hand, and with his other hand slapped it out of the way. It had only been 2 minutes since they came back and he couldn't help but want to read the envelope.

1 second. Naruto was scratching behind his neck, eyes transfixed on the envelope.

5seconds. Naruto stared at the envelope, as if daring for it to open itself right in front of himself.

10seconds. Naruto was now slapping his head, repeating the words Itachi told him. "NOT TILL TOMORROW!"

20 seconds. Naruto couldn't help himself, he dove down at the envelope, breaking the table it was on. Ripping open the thing, a piece of paper dropped out, revealing Itachi's neat handwriting.

Dear Naruto,

'Yes it's for me!' Naruto said loudly.

I specifically remember telling you not to read this until tomorrow.

"He knew..."

Naruto, I will be leaving tonight. I am going to do things that I will regreat, but I know I must do it. People will tell you what bad things I have done, and you have every right to believe them. And remember, most of all there are always two sides to a story Naruto.

When we see each other again, I will be stronger, much more stronger. I hope you will be as well. I am leaving tonight, probably as soon as you have finished reading this letter. I shall be leaving north, to parts I cannot tell you.

Much luck with your future Naruto, remember, always head North!

From your brother, Itachi.

"Strange..." Naruto thought out aloud. "All this talk about North... I GOT IT!" Naruto changed into the shirt Itachi gave him earlier, with black pants, and ran down the street.


Itachi breathed heavily as he stared at his blood soaked hands. His sword was drenched in his victims blood, and on the outside, it looked like he didn't care. Deep down though, he felt a sword twisting in his heart, as he walked a way from the bloodshed. He would never forget all the faces of everyone he killed. Thehomes was covered with corpses. Everything was now painted red, soon they would have to clean out the whole place, it stank.

Looking back for a second on the murder site, he saw a boy, shivering with fear, huddled on the ground. He had done his deed, no doubt the boy would hunt for him in the future, he himself had asked him to become strong enough to one day defeat him - avenge the Uchiha clan, and maybe one day, rebuild it as the pure clan it once was - instead of the power hungry, greed driven group of nins 'cursed' with the Sharingan.

Itachi was now dressed in his normal clothes and had sent a letter to the Hokage, explaining his actions. He remembered his former best friend, Uchiha Shisui of the Shunshin.

How Shisui discovered the true meaning of the Uchiha's and was brought to the brink of madness by it. How he wanted so desperately to gain the power to lead his clan to take over the village and defeat the rival Hyuugas. This then brought Shisui to come to the decision to kill his best friend Itachi to gain the ultimate power.

Itachi didn't understand why Shisui attacked him that time, teleported behind his back and tried to stab him, but Shisui was no match for Itachi. Itachi barraged Shisui with water jutsus, to make it look like he drowned. Before Shisui died, he told Itachi of the plans of the Uchiha. To take over Konoha by force. They were training Itachi to be the leader, the most powerful of all the Uchihas, and the one to take over the position as Hokage. The Uchihas wanted power, and full control - Itachi would grant them that power.

Itachi couldn't face that. The Uchiha's pushed him further, tried to make him the monster they called him. Maybe they pushed him too far. Itachi couldn't stand it. As a nin his duty was to protect the village. As the Uchiha were furthering their plans to take over, Itachi decided he had to kill them all.

Ironic, Itachi thought. Ironic that the one to lead them to power, would destroy them all. He headed to the unused North gate of the village. No one but the higher ranking nins new about it, it was secluded and only to be used in an evacuation situation. Of course as soon as he got there, he heard someone running behind him. Tempted to draw his ANBU sword to kill the person, he decided to see.

"Itachi nii-san!" Naruto said, taking a deep breath before every syllable. Naruto took another deep breath before speaking again. "IfoundthecluesandwenttofindyouhearandIamgladyoudidbythewaycanIcomewithyou?" Naruto asked.

"Naruto... What are you doing here?" Itachi asked.

"I came to find you!" Naruto said, gaining back his breath. "You made a promise to the highest, the Hokage! That you would train me and protect me, and that I would follow you! And everyone should keep promises to the Hokage!"

"Naruto, I'm leaving the village. Most likely for good. You'll be a missing-nin as well you know."

"SO WHAT! I'LL STILL BE HOKAGE!" Naruto shouted.

"Shh! The whole village will hear us. Naruto, if you really want me to keep the promise, I will train you. Training will be hard Naruto, and you haven't even passed the academy yet!"

"I don't need to. Academy stinks. Except for Iruka-sensei, he gives me Ramen."

"So you can handle the tough training?" Itachi asked. The two began there walk towards the gate.

"Certainly!" Naruto nodded. "So where are we going?"

"To meet up with some people."

"For what?"

"You have too many questions."

"Tell me for what!"

"To make a group!" Itachi smiled.

"Called?" Naruto wondered.

"Akatsuki!" Itachi said.

"That sounds stupid." Naruto said.

"I know." Itachi patted Naruto on the head, messing up his hair as the two walked away, out of the village and into the nightime, as Naruto continued his questions.
