Weeping, that was all that was heard within the forest outside the Hidden Sun Village.

The light forced itself through the trees illuminating the darkness, showing the form of a young boy no older than the age of seven. Blood plastered all over his clothing and in the form of a hand on his cheek. Even his hair had been stained, not that it showed with it already being dark red already.

This blood was not his.

The blood was from the body beneath him, the body of his father, Renji Uzumaki. As blood seeped out and stained the ground beneath him, the boy rose shakily as his tears flowed furiously. He clutched the two scrolls his father had forced into his hand, stuffed them into the hem of his pants and ran.

As he began running through the forest A voice can be heard through the trees. Hiding behind a tree he looks past it to see men wearing dark brownish-grey flak jackets. Beneath them were black robes that were sleeveless on their right and a full sleeve on their left. On their heads they all wore headbands with a large metal plate inscribed with the symbol of a group of stones.

"We have to find it. My spy has said that it's a young boy no older than 7. We have to find him and kill him without any hesitation. The four tails will be reborn and we can recapture it then." A man who the boy could only guess as the leader said before he and his men split into different areas.

The boy began to run through the forest again. He swore that the docks were nearby. If he could get there he could get on a sailboat and get out of there as fast as possible. As fast as his young body could carry him he sprinted towards the east and came to the treeline.

The sun blared and blinded him before his eyes adjusted to the sight before him of the crystal blue water of the ocean. He began to run down the docks frantically.

'Damn it, there's gotta be one here somewhere.'

The more he ran down the docks the slimmer his hope got as most of the boats had been set ablaze or had already been sunk.

As he ran down the dock he finally found a sailboat but guarding it was a Hidden Stone Ninja.

"What the- oh it's just a brat sorry about this kid." He says as he raises his sword ready to deliver an overhead strike.

"S-STAY AWAYYY" The boy roared as his eyes turned a fiery orange and leapt forward at blinding speed, his hand turned red hot burning the man's face off the moment it made contact. The boy rose and started panting.

His head was spinning, he knew that the other stone ninja would have felt his chakra and mile away. He grabbed a kunai from the man's body and staggered over to the boat, cutting the rope connecting the boat to the dock.

"Hey A survivor's getting away." A hidden stone ninja yelled as the boat began to drift away.

Other ninjas appeared beside him as they began to throw kunai and shuriken. Most were embedded into the hull of the boat while a couple managed to hit the sail. However, One of the kunai was aimed directly at the boy's heart and stuck straight into him.

The scarlet red pool returned as well as a burning chill in his chest. The light of the world began to fade around him.

"Alright we got him. Now head throughout the village and slaughter anyone you find." He said before they ran back to the village.

A hot gurgling noise came from the mouth of the boy. As the light of the world faded entirely the boy could hear the echo of his father's voice.

"Kenshirou, You must find those who are precious to you and protect them, always remember that I love and am proud of you".

And that is the start of Kenshirou Uzumaki. The Idea for the story just came to me and this is the first fanfic I have ever written that actually made it to chapter 1. Make a guess as to what you think the boy is. He is the same age as Naruto and will be making his way to the hidden leaf village. I had a bit of A time trying to figure out how I was going to start this as well as feeling that my writing style felt a bit too cliche story narrator esc but eh. I also felt that this chapter was a bit short for a start and will attempt to make most chapters past 1,000 words not counting notes. I plan to make him bring about a very INTERESTING change to the early days of Konoha as well as our favorite generation of ninja. The world of the Ninja will be shaken with what I have planned for him.

Hope you enjoyed, leave a comment, a like and stay tuned for chapter 2
