Naruto Uzumaki - Part 2.

(Naruto's Childhood - Part 1: Uchiha Massacre.)

29th of October 1906 - Village Playground:

It has been two years since the Hidden Leaf Village found out that young Naruto Uzumaki had the Nine-Tails Kyūbi inside him. Since then, whilst the Uchiha Clan was treated somewhat better than before, the people treated young Naruto like the plague, and blame him for things that he didn't do, and all in all mistreat him badly. Because of the law that Lord Hokage set up to forbid them from telling anyone about Naruto, especially to Naruto, the young boy never knew why people treated him so badly. He was thankful that the Hokage, was able to keep him at the orphanage, and give him pocket money, as Naruto didn't know what would happen to him than.

But even though he was treated so badly, Naruto would not allow that to put him down for long, as he would keep on going as if nothing was wrong. He would show them that he wasn't a demon or monster as they called him. Now it was the weekend, and Naruto decided that instead of staying in the orphanage, he would take a walk around the village. Not noticing where he was going Naruto hear a group of boys say:

"Who wants to play ninja?"

"Oh! I do! I do!"

"Me too!"

"I want to play too guys!"

Hearing this, Naruto looked around to see where he was and found that he was at the village's main playground. Gathered around the climbing sets and spider webs, a large group of kids - mostly boys - were currently gathered around a black haired boy, who'd just popped the question as to who wanted to have a game of ninjas.

This boy was Kaito Uchiha, he was the same age as Naruto, and he was a popular kid, that everyone seemed to like. Kaito was in the same class as Naruto, he was like a prodigy in their class, able to learn things with ease. Whilst he, Naruto, had a hard time in learning things as no one was willing to teach him.

Now Kaito was one of the main kids who bullied him along with his friends. At the time Naruto thought that Kaito bullied him because it was how everyone else treated him, and to keep being popular, Uchiha treated him the same way as the rest in his class. The young blonde thought that given the chance, Kaito want to become his friend and things would change from there.

Either way, obviously a majority of them wanted to take part in playing ninja and so, once a unanimous decision had been made, the youngsters began allocating roles and positions between one another. It was a clumsy start at first, what with them bickering over who wanted to play what ninja. But as soon as all the children knew who they were going to be imitating, they scattered and began to chase each other around the entire playground.

For the next several minutes after that, under the careful watch of the children's parents that were there, the kids ran circles around the entire area. Sprinting across the bark, hopping over various obstacles and playground equipment, and even interrupting a couple of girls building castles in the sand pit, the boys had a ball as they pretended to clash kunai with one another and cast jutsu.

Them being so young of course, neither of them actually knew how to throw any 'fireballs' or 'earth walls' at each other just yet, so they just stuck with the basics of pretend play.

Eventually the game reached a point where one of the children, a popular Uchiha boy named Kaito, had one of his friends trapped against the rock climbing wall. With the other youngster's back to it, the adolescent prodigy advanced with his 'sword' drawn and ready to strike.

"Ha-ha! Surrender!" the boy chuckled.

The other boy with brown hair grinned back and formed a cross guard with his arms. "You can't touch me! Not when I have the First Hokage's Wood Release defending me!"

Kaito recoiled at the boy's declaration and glared. "Hey! You can't do that! That's cheating!"

"Na-ah. Not it isn't," the other boy stated. "It's my super-secret, special move! The best there is!"

"No one in this village uses that Jutsu anymore!"

"Oh yeah. Well… someday I will. I just have to practice."

"Ha. Yeah, right," Kaito replied, causing his friend to glower at him while he crossed his arms proudly. "If anyone is going to have amazing jutsu when they grow up, it's going to be me. I'll become an even better ninja than Izumi and her and dad."

Izumi's dad was Fugaku Uchiha, the Clan Leader of the Uchiha and one of the most powerful Uchiha in the Clan, and his daughter wasn't far off being just as powerful. Whilst there was many prodigies in the Uchiha Clan, Izumi was the very best prodigy that ever came out of the Clan. At the age of seven she graduated from the Ninja Academy within a year of joining, and becomes a Genin right after. At the age of ten she became a Chūnin. And there were rumours that she had become a member of the Anbu Black Ops, but the family would always deny this. Which wasn't surprising seeing that no one was meant to know who was in the Black Ops. Because of this, many of the Uchiha Clan want to be like their Clan Head and daughter, many of them got high hopes for Fugaku's second daughter, Satsuki, because of how powerful her family was.

Now not exactly liking how the most popular boy in their group was taking this, the youngster with spiky brown hair and wearing the yellow T-shirt pouted and stood off of the wall. "This is getting boring. It's no fun when we don't have a real bad guy ninja in our group. Everybody here is playing a good guy." He said this while referring to the rest of their gang, who quickly approached the pair when they realized no one was chasing anyone anymore.

"Yeah," another boy in a white singlet, a buzz cut and a missing tooth spoke up as he looked between his friends. "Who can we get to play a bad guy?"

After looking over his troop for a moment and seeing no one wanted to volunteer, Kaito then looked over his shoulder and spotted Naruto who was alone, sitting on the swing set nearby all by himself and reading from a book. Being able to spot him due to the fact that nobody was in the same area as him, the young Uchiha with the spiky black hair grinned and nodded over to him.

"Hey. What about him?"

When his friends all looked to see who he was referring to, the brown haired Sarutobi boy who he was playing with before blinked. "Isn't he the new kid? The one our parents said not to go near? Naru-something."

"Naruto?"

"Yeah. That's it."

Seeing the blond boy with whiskers in the white shirt and orange shorts swinging back and forth on the seat, and completely engrossed in his picture book, he didn't seem like much at first glance. The fact that he didn't appear dangerous or intimidating in the least made him seem like an easy target to the boys, with Kaito giving a wicked smirk as a result and beckoning his friends to follow.

Soon the six or so boys had crossed the playground and quickly gathered around Naruto, who took a few moments to register to the fact that a couple of kids were in front of him. When he looked up, the blond blinked when he saw he was surrounded by a group of smiling boys from his class.

"Yo." Kaito greeted with a seemingly friendly wave and a kind grin.

Realizing that somebody was actually speaking to him, the previously distracted Naruto replied with a nervous nod. "Oh. H-Hi?"

"Do you want to play ninjas with us?" Kaito asked curiously. "You look a little lonely over here."

"Yeah. Join us," another of the boys in the group spoke. "It'll be fun."

"Uhh…" the six year old Naruto stuttered, obviously surprised as his eyes darted between the kids. Eventually, after getting over the fact that he was being asked to join in for the first time, the whiskered youngster then broke out a smile and nodded. "O-Okay." He then closed his book and hopped off the swing, completely heedless of what the boys had in store for him. "So… how is this game supposed to be played?"

As Kaito led Naruto across the playground to the climbing set, he and his friends told the blond what they wanted him to do for them. "It's easy. It's like pretend chasey. First we pick a person to play the bad guy ninja… and then the rest of the good guy ninjas have to team up to fight him, with the Hokage in the lead."

Naruto, finding the concept behind this game to be quite exciting, gave the Uchiha a cheerful grin. "Alright. So… umm… who gets to be what? Can I be Hokage?" He asked his question with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"Oh. We've decided that you'll be playing the bad guy first," Kaito replied quickly, holding his hand out and stopping Naruto in the middle of playground area just in front of the spider net. "You stand right here. And don't move, okay. This is super important." When he saw the blond nod in understanding, he and his friends then scattered about the area, with the Uchiha quickly climbing up the spider net to the very top. Once he was positioned on its very peak, he stood up. "Alright! The game starts now!"

Before Naruto could ask what was going to happen or what he was supposed to do, he saw Kaito take a stance with his fist waving enthusiastically in the air.

"Ta-du-du-dum! After a long and tough battle with the enemy shinobi, it is now up to the amazing Fifth Hokage to step forward and save the day! Kaito Uchiha!" the child exclaimed, earning a round of cheers from his friends and drawing the attention of some of the other kids in the area. Naruto meanwhile just stared up at the raven haired boy as he then pointed down at him. "Prepare yourself, villain… for it is time for you to meet your maker!" Crouching low, the boy then leapt off of the spider web and dove down at the blond, grinning wildly. "Ninja Art: Soaring Kick!"

Yelping in alarm, Naruto instinctively leapt to the side, avoiding the boy's kick as he then crashed into the floor with a loud 'thud.' When the cloud of dust settled, it revealed a now grounded Kaito sitting on the bark, a dazed look on his face and his shorts covered in dirt. As he sat up, he then gave a pained wince and looked down at his hand.

"Ouch."

When his friends approached, an observing Naruto stepped forward in worry. "S-Sorry. Are you okay, Kaito? Did you hurt yourself?"

Looking up at the blond, the Uchiha frowned. "I skinned my hand. Why did you dodge, you idiot?" He then stood up, stumbling slightly due to the rough landing. "That's not how the game works. You're supposed to be playing the bad guy. That means you're not allowed to move."

"Huh?" Naruto balked, staring at the now annoyed looking boy in confusion, who in the right mind wouldn't move when attacked? Even villains would move from getting hit. "I can't move? That doesn't make any sense -"

"Hiko! Yochan! Hold onto him for a second!" Kaito shouted towards his friends.

"Okay," the brown haired Sarutobi responded, at the same time he and a second boy grabbed the blonde youngster's arms from either side and kept him in place.

As Naruto looked between the two youngsters in surprise, he then turned to Kaito to ask again what he'd done wrong. Surely there wasn't a problem with him moving to avoid another kid crashing into him, was there?

Unfortunately he never got a chance to make his inquiry, as the next thing he knew was feeling a heavy weight smash him in the face as the Uchiha raised his foot and kicked him squarely between the eyes.

The blond then dropped to the floor like a sack of flour, landing painfully on his rear and hands. Upon which he then looked up with a start to see Kaito standing there and grinning triumphantly.

"Attack successful!" the Uchiha laughed while puffing his chest out arrogantly. "Naruto the Monster Ninja has been crushed!" His announcement earned him a round of cheers and laughs from the rest of the children, all of whom obviously found the scene both epic and cool.

Blinking in a daze as he stared up at the prodigy and his compatriots, Naruto then felt something wet dribble down his lips and reached up to brush his mouth. He winced as he did so, pulling away to see that he had a bloody nose, which had been broken from the hit. Trembling when he realized he'd been hurt, the blond then looked up at the kids anxiously. "Hey. W-Why did you hit me so hard?"

By this point Kaito and his friends saw what'd happened, all of them looking down at the boy in momentary bewilderment. However, just as the children were trying to form some kind of reply, they were interrupted by the arrival of the one of the parents, who'd rushed over when he noticed the commotion going on over by the spider web.

"Hey!" When the parent, a male around forty years old with brown hair, arrived on the scene, he quickly looked from the standing group of boys to the fallen Naruto. Upon which he then placed his hands on his hips and frowned deeply. "Can one of you please explain to me what happened over here?" The entire playground remained silent, as it was obvious the man was taking this scene very seriously.

After Kaito and the other kids looked between one another in momentary concern, the young Hiko then stepped forward and pointed down at Naruto, who was expecting the boy to clear up the situation and explain that he'd been kicked. However…

"Naruto tried to jump down from the top of the spider web, father. But he tripped and hurt himself."

The blonde's head snapped towards Hiko in alarm. "No I didn't!" The whisker-marked child then looked back at Hiko's father. "That's not what happened, sir! Kaito kicked me in the face while we were playing ninjas… on purpose!"

Glancing between the accused and the ones involved in the situation, the father then focused his attention on the Uchiha and gave him a hard look over. "Is this true?" Whilst he might not like Naruto, he was one of few people who didn't like the child being blamed for something he didn't do. Sure he feared that what was in Naruto could escape one day, and so should be watch carefully, that didn't mean he should be treated the way the villagers were treating him. What if Naruto found out about the Nine-Tails and decide to work with it to take revenge on them for the way they treated him? This was something he didn't want to see, so he would make sure he could do what he could to make sure the truth came out.

He knew his son could lie easily, so that is why he asked one of the few of the children that he could trust, Kaito Uchiha. As he was friends with the young Uchiha's parents and knew he could be trust, or so he thought.

Pausing for a moment to look at Naruto and then his friends, the Uchiha then put on his best innocent exterior and turned back to Hiko's father. "No, Mr. Seijûrô. Naruto fell over after he tried to jump and landed on his face. He got embarrassed and started blaming me."

"Yeah. It's true," another of his friends spoke up in support.

"That's what happened, sensei. We saw the whole thing." another child told him.

"Naruto tripped over while we were playing ninja," came the voices of the rest of his companions, all of whom were quickly aligning themselves in defence of their best friend and leader. "That's the truth."

While Naruto looked between the boys in disbelief, a keenly listening Mr. Seijûrô sighed and, reaching over, helped the blonde to his feet. "You should really be more careful, Naruto. Don't try to do things that you're not ready for, otherwise you'll end up hurting yourself." Upon setting the boy straight, he then checked the rest of his person for more bleeds. Luckily it was just his nose. "Try to keep both feet on the ground from now on, okay?"

"B-B-But…" the blond stammered, wanting to mount some sort of a defence to preserve his honour and explain what really happened, but was promptly shut down by the adult.

"No buts." Hiko's father interrupted, pulling a facial tissue out of his pouch and handing it to the child. He then helped the boy bring it up to his nose to stop the haemorrhaging. "Now go up to the healers, so that one of them can take a closer look at that… to make sure nothing is broken." He then instructed one of the nearby girls to escort the youngster, so that they didn't get lost.

And so, unable to get a word in, Naruto begun his walk back to the local hospital. All the while he couldn't help but think to himself what the heck just happened and why things turned out the way they did.

Just when he thought he was starting to make friends, it turned out to be something else… these kids wanted nothing more but a punch bag. Something they found easy in him. Naruto couldn't believe it, why would they treat him this way when he didn't do anything to them in the first place.

Either way, after the incident at the playground, Naruto had chosen to carry on with his life as per usual and to not pursue the issue. Figuring he couldn't really do anything about the kicking and convincing himself that the whole thing was just an accident, he elected not to get hung up over the game and instead went on to try and fit in with the rest of his peers.

Of course, due to the nature in which everybody was currently treating him, it wasn't exactly an easy endeavour.

It hadn't been long since Naruto had embarked upon his foundation year here at the academy - about two months at the most. When he started, the blond figured he was going to be getting a fresh start in life and a clean slate, believing he could actually find some friends here and children he could play with. Thus he entered the school on his first day with a big smile on his face and a spring in his step.

But, as he quickly found out after his first week, despite the incredible abundance of new faces and hours of play to be had during the working periods, every time Naruto attempted to approach the kids and ask if he could join in with them, they would either ignore him, tell him to go away, run off, or be dragged away by their teachers, parents or friends.

At first Naruto figured this was just a passing phase, as at one point he thought he was able to find a fast friendship with the boys Kiba, Shikamaru and Choji. They were a nice group and, after playing with them on the playground and in class, they'd really hit it off with each other. The three really enjoyed hanging out with the blond. But almost as soon as after meeting them, Naruto was told that their parents didn't want their kids hanging out with him anymore, and was essentially left out of their group.

This not only dampened Naruto's spirits during his free periods, but also made his time at the academy all the more disheartening. So the blond resigned himself to carrying on with his time at the academy alone and unnoticed, and for the most part kept to himself.

That was until Kaito and his band of friends started inviting him into their circle to play more 'ninja games' with them and, as Naruto was quick to discover, neither one of their games was cordial in the least.

Over the next couple of weeks since the first time they asked him to join in, Kaito or one of his companions would approach the blonde orphan during free time under the pretext of talking to him or inviting him over for a different game. When Naruto either accepted or declined their request, he was then ambushed by the group of kids - all of whom were acting out the roles of 'Konoha ninja' while he was instantly slapped with the title of 'enemy ninja '- and was hence set upon by their squad. At first it started out as just good, old-fashioned child's play and teasing, with the kids dropping toys or shuriken-shaped paper on Naruto's head, or splashing him with paint or water, and proclaiming he'd been defeated.a

But then, after the first dozen or so 'games', things started to get a little rougher and violent. Soon Naruto was being blindsided by the gang almost every play period, with each time ending with the blond being outnumbered and ganged up on by the entire group. They even started hitting him from behind with their hands or toys when the teacher wasn't looking or out of the room, before finishing with the orphan somehow winding up on the ground with a new bump or bruise on his person.

On one end of the spectrum, Kaito and his friends thought this was very funny.

On the other end however, Naruto did not, and after several more days of being pushed around and knocked onto his backside by the gang of mischievous youngsters, the blond had had enough. He was about to do something about them, make them pay for what they done to him, but then Kaito and his gang suddenly stopped their bullying on him. It would seem that Fugaku Uchiha's wife, Mikoto, found out how Kaito and his friends were treating him and punished them and warned them that if they keep treating him badly, things would get worse for Kaito and his friends.

Whilst Naruto had no idea why Mikoto would do this for him, he was grateful, whilst he still got picked on, Kaito and his friends never bothered him again which was great. As they were the main problem at the Academy, and whilst he never was able to make friends as years passed, his time at the Academy was much easier. Sure he had his own share of problems, but nothing he couldn't deal with.

However because of these actions, two things happened, the first was that a seed of darkness was planted, and although it would be covered by Naruto's bright personality and believe at the time, it would slowly grow, but it would take years before it blooms into something. It would take longer to bloom because of the second thing that happened. Thanks to the so called games that the kids played where he was forced to play the villain, one of them played the Hokage, and was treated with respect and kindness, something that Naruto wanted. So began his dream to become Hokage began, so he could gain the respect that he always wanted.

o0OoO0o

22nd of July 1908 - Land of Fire, Uchiha District:

It has now been four years since the village learnt about Naruto being the Jinchuriki of Kyūbi, and whilst things have gotten better for the Uchiha Clan, there were doubts in the higher ups about their loyalty to the village. No one knew this better than the heiresses of the Uchiha Clan: Izumi Uchiha daughter of Fugaku and Mikoto Uchiha. In the last few years as a member of the Anbu, she had to spy on her own clan out of fear that they might turn on the Hokage and the village.

And the Hokage and the Ninja Council were right to worry, as because of how long the village treated the Uchiha Clan so badly, they decided to take action. To pull a coup d'état, to take over the village and control, and make it so that their Clan wouldn't have to worry about how they would be treated. They hated being distrusted and treated like shit for something they hadn't done, but because of one person: Madara Uchiha.

Madara was the one that tried to destroy the Elemental Nation and the rest of the world, not them, but they were lumped in the same sack. Blaming them for his deeds, and treating them as if they would do the same thing. It didn't help that four years ago Kyūbi attacked the village and that, in not so many words, someone within the Uchiha Clan was to blame for this.

For the first two years, the Leaf Village was hostile towards with, not trusting them and give them a hard time. It wasn't until two years ago that things got somewhat better, but by then it was too late. They knew it was matter of time before something would happen, and they would be blamed for it. Or at some point they would be spied on, if they weren't already, to see what they were up to. Knowing that the Hidden Village would never fully trust them, they knew they had to do something, and so they decided to pull a coup d'état, so that they would run they village and would never have to worry about being threatened again.

Izumi knew that her father didn't want to pull a coup d'état, but knew that his Clan wanted one either if he wanted it or not. He knew that if he didn't agree with it, his Clan would go with the coup and there would be a bloodbath to get what they wanted. That would mean a lot more trouble for them, should they win or lose, so it was for the best for him to agree and lead the coup d'état. He hoped that if he was planning the coup, he could pull it off as bloodless as possible with no to very little bloodshed. And to do this, Fugaku asked Izumi to spy on the Anbu and if possible on the Hokage to learn what she could. The reason was that if he knew enough, he could create a plan so that he could pull off a coup without anyone getting hurt or killed.

But Izumi knew that the coup d'état wouldn't work, she believed that the coup would lead to intervention from other villages and ultimately start another World War, something she couldn't support. Not after witnessing first-hand casualties of war from the Third Shinobi World War. The death and destruction he experienced at such a young age traumatised her and made her into a pacifist, leading to her training non stop to achieve her dream of becoming a ninja among ninja in order to erase fighting from the world.

Don't get her wrong, whilst she had become a pacifist, she knew that to gain peace, she would have to fight and kill for it. Even if she didn't want this, she knew that sometimes she would have to do things to get the peace she wanted in the world, and there was always a price for peace.

So to try and keep the peace with her Clan and the rest of the village, she became a double agent, reporting the Uchiha's actions to the Third Hokage and the Konoha Council in the hopes it would help them find a peaceful resolution.

She knew that she couldn't do it alone, and so she shared the burden of betraying her clan with her best friend Shisui.

But as time went on though, it became increasingly clear to both of them that peace could not be achieved. Shisui intended to use his Kotoamatsukami, an ability that could make other believe that his idea that was planted into them was their own, on the Uchiha's leaders to compel them to negotiate, but his right eye was stolen by Danzō before he had a chance. His own options exhausted, Shisui entrusted his remaining eye to his best friend and begged her to protect the village and their family name before drowning himself in the Naka River.

Izumi was anguished by Shisui's death, enough to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Hearing that Danzō was the one behind her friend losing his eye and killing himself, Izumi wanted to make him pay, but knew better. One she didn't have the strength to do anything against him, telling her father want blood and that was something she was trying to avold and she had no prove to go to the Hokage with. So she was forced to get on with life, and try and stop the upcoming civil war.

During the days to come, some Uchiha, already suspicious of Izumi, accused her of murdering Shisui and staging a suicide, Izumi lost her composure and attacked them, defeating them easily. A rift was created between Izumi and her family, and her warnings to them to reconsider what they were doing fell on deaf ears.

Over the years since she started to try and stop the coup d'état, things won't going her way. Whilst the Third Hokage still wished to negotiate with the Uchiha, her Clan wanted nothing more then to take over the village and nothing would stop them from doing so.

But it was Danzō that recognised that there was no longer an outcome that could see the Uchiha clan's survival. He explained this to Izumi and left her with a choice: support the Uchiha's coup and have the whole clan, including Satsuki, killed in the ensuing conflict, or accept the assignment to wipe out the clan before the coup started and be allowed to spare Satsuki.

It was no choice for Izumi, she chose her baby sister. While making final preparations to kill off her Clan, Izumi discovered a masked man sneaking around the Leaf Village. From observing him, she came to believe the man was truly Madara Uchiha bent on provoking some new conflict. But when Izumi approached him, she found out that it wasn't the whole truth.

Yes he wanted to wrap out the village for abandoning him decades earlier, but he wanted Naruto who was the last known member of his Clan, and a few young female Uchihas. As he wanted to rebuild his Clan, but to make it stronger and loyal to him. Because as much he hated his Clan for what happened so long ago, like most people, they didn't want to see their Clan die out fully if they could help it. So Madara wanted to keep a select few of his clan alive if possible, to rebuild his Clan with stronger warriors.

When Izumi asked why use Naruto, Madara explained that Naruto's Clan was one of the most powerful Clans in the world until three of the Great Villages worked together to destroy the Clan and their homeland. So joining the two clan would not bring the two back, but they'll become more powerful than before.

Izumi thought about this, and realized that what Madara wanted to do could be a blessing for her. And so offered a deal with him, explaining that unlike last time where he had the Nine Tails to help him destroy the Leaf Village, he didn't have that now. Even then he failed because of the First Hokage, as he had his Wood Release. But now he didn't have that, and not only that but there were some strong ninja in the village which would make it harder for him to defeat the village.

So she advise that it would be better if they destroyed the Uchiha Clan first and build up strength before destroying the Leaf Village, and when he and the group he was in had enough strength, then come back to destroy the village. For now they should deal with the Uchiha Clan, and she would be willing to help him and join his group. After some thought, the so called Madara agreed with Izumi.

So here Izumi was, late July, seating within the trees outside of Uchiha District, waiting for midnight to hit, as it was the time they arranged for the attack on the Clan. She knew that what she was about to do, no one would forgive her, but she didn't care, this was for the Greater Good of the village. Because should they servire, her Clan would destroy the village no matter what her father wanted. So no matter what happens to her and what people might think of her, she had to destroy most of the Clan so that it could be rebuilt anew. Hopefully the new that Madara wanted to build would be better, as she didn't want to come back and kill them too.

Now her thought were interrupted when someone landed on the same tree branch that she was on, looking behind her she found it was Madara, wearing a mask. "So are you ready for this?" asked Madara.

"Ready as I'll ever be." Izumi admitted with a heavy heart. She might not like what she was about to do, but for the peace for the Leaf Village, she knew she had to do it. "But I would like to ask, could we keep my mother alive? As she is the only one person I know who wants to keep the peace in the village. She only following father because she is married to him."

"I have no problems with that," Madara agreed with this request, "I was thinking about who could look after the young females until my plans can flourish. And from what I have heard about your mother, she would be the best person to look after them for now."

"Good, now let's deal with this." Izumi said with a deep sigh, as she jumped down and started to run down the district killing anyone who was still up and walking down the district. The sound of the slaughter brought out the other Uchiha members who were still awake, and those who were asleep were woke up and seeing the slaughter tried to hide their children to try and keep them safe. But that didn't work out as they hoped, as they and their children were killed anyhow. The only children that won't killed were a few young females that would help to rebuild the Clan later on.

Whilst she was doing this, Madara was killing others from the other end of the district, starting off with Leaf Military Police Force, and go from there. Once he done his half of the district, he ran to the spot that he and Izumi agreed to meet up at.

As for Izumi, she went up to her home to deal with her family. She was shocked that they were waiting for her, and that they won't going to fight her. As her father told her, he didn't want to fight want to participate in a deathmatch with his own daughter. Fugaku asked that she would take care of her sister, and that whilst their philosophies my differ, he was proud of her. They talked a few moments before a tearful Izumi killed a father.

Her mother was shocked that her daughter didn't her, but Izumi told her that she needed someone who could look over Satsuki and the other females that she let live. But before Mikoto could ask what she meant, Satsuki entered the home and saw her sister standing over the dead body of her father, and a bloody blade next to her mother's throat. Seeing Satsuki, Izumi made it look like her sister interrupted her from killing the mother, and ran.

Whilst Mikoto was dealing with Satsuki and looking for the others that Izumi let lived, Izumi hid away as she watched the Anbu tried to find her. She watched as they took count of the deaths that she and Madara done, but Mikoto wouldn't allow them to look over to see if they were okay. Mikoto told them that she was a Medical Ninja herself, so she would be the one to do so.

Seeing that her mother was taking care of the surviving Uchihas, Izumi decided to leave before she could be found. But before she did, she created a clone to give Danzō a warning, a warning to not to go near nor hurt the reminding members of the Uchiha Clan. As if he did, she would inform the enemies of the Hidden Leaf Village everything that she knew.

The old War Hawk feared this more than anything, whilst he wanted control of the clan, he didn't want the village secrets to be known. As he knew that should anyone knew about them, it could destroy the village, something he didn't want. So he was forced to agree with Izumi's terms not to touch her old Clan.

It was a few days later that she sent to see the Hokage, not only to apologize for what she did, but to see how the clan was doing. She found out that they were doing will, although most of them hated her for what she did, he was grateful for it. Whilst he regretted how it was done, he was glad that she was able prevent war and keep peace in the village. He was also sorry for how things went down, as from now on she would be branded as a Rogue Ninja and would be in the Bego Book.

The Hokage informed Izumi that whilst he couldn't do much unless revealing things that could start a war in the village, he could make it so that it would be easy for her to come and go to make sure her mother, sister and other Clan Members were doing will.

Author's Note - PLEASE READ TO THE END:Thanks for reading, and I hope that you enjoyed the chapter and if you did, please leave some feedback to let me know. Now the first part of this story is form Naruto: Reikage by TheWriteFiction, I did send him a PM asking if I could and he said as long as I acknowledged him I would be allowed to: which here I have done. I have altered what I could so that it doesn't follow his too much, like the kids aren't playing at the Academy, but at one of the village's playground.

I'm sorry if you didn't like the ending, you're not the only one, I don't like it either. I know it is rushed, but I just couldn't think of a way to end it. So it came out like the way you read it, I hope it doesn't happen again, but I won't give you no promises other than I'll do my best try and not to do so. I'm also sorry for the late update, but I was writing Dragon Overlord, which took some time, and not only that but I couldn't find the right words for what I want to happen.
