(2 Years Later After the Attack)

It has been 2 years since the day that Konoha was under attack by the Nine Tailed Fox. In those 2 years the village surprisingly didn't change too much. Although the adults still remembered the monstrous chakra entity and the younger ones were unaware of what the cause of the monstrous chakra that night was, the morale of the village was at an all time high due to many witnessing, once again, the battle prowess of the Fourth Hokage and the kage level shinobi of the village.

Two young kids who later learned about the events of that night were Namikaze Naruto and Uchiha Itachi. After learning about what happened they both threw themselves into their training and as a result had made great progress in the shinobi arts.

Speaking of the two young ones and how they have been showing tremendous ability in the shinobi field, the Hokage has predicted that they will be the first kids to graduate early since the times of the 3rd Shinobi World War.

Minato was pleasantly surprised that his son and his son's best friend seemed to pick up on the shinobi arts at an alarming pace. He however tried not to praise them too much knowing the dangers of having a big ego. The thing that shocked him the most was when he found out about his son's sensory ability.

FLASHBACK

It was the day after the village was attacked by the Nine Tails and Minato could be seen in the Hokage office stressed. Minato being the loving father he is would have loved to be with his family right now but many troubling events had occurred in a short span of time. First was that the appearance of the Nine Tails had given rise to many problems seeing as very few knew that the Nine Tails was in the village to begin with. Many knew that the fox didn't just appear out of thin air. Second of all an Uchiha or atleast a man with a Sharigan, a high level one at that, had found out about his wife's secret and not only managed to sneak into a room with multiple kage-level shinobi but had also been able to control the Nine Tailed-Fox. The mysterious man alone confused him, he had known Fugaku since before they were genin and knew that attacking helpless women was below him, not just that but the two had been great friends and rivals so it wouldn't make sense for him to hire a hitman to take out a good part of his family. As a sign of goodwill Fugaku has been keeping him updated on Uchiha's and their Sharingan and no one other than Fugaku and Mikoto even had such a powerful Sharingan. The man had claimed to be Madara Uchiha but this simply impossible, everyone knew that Hashirama had killed Madara in their last battle at the Valley of the End, a battle so gruesome that it had permanently weakened Hashirama Senju and eventually led to his death,but even if he hadn't killed Madara and Madara somehow lived then age would have surely caught up to Madara by this point. And to top it all off the man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha was definitely strong but he seemed to be inexperienced, Minato had never seen Madara when he was a child but he liked to think that if he ever were to have fought Madara he would have the hardest battle of his life and although he never underestimates his opponent this one was not up to par to what many believed Madara Uciha to be.

He was currently revising repair plans due to the security of the Village being in danger. In his rampage the fox had destroyed many buildings and even part of the walls surrounding the village. He knew that this was one of his lesser problems, he would get the help of the wood style user the village has kept hidden from the world and then everyone with an earth affinity will start working on repairing it. He signed the bottom of the letter and stamped it and put it onto the pile of completed paperwork. His door then opened and he saw his receptionist add another pile of paperwork to the pile. He thanked her and when she left he let out a groan. One hand-sign later and Minato was now stretching his body and a shadow clone was doing the work for him.

The effects of the attack were overall nullified and this brought a smile to his face. He quickly lost that smile when he remembered that Tsunade had left the village. Tsunade Senju had been through a lot. She had lost her lover, newborn son and younger brother Nawaki all on the same day. It was during the times of war and Tsunade had been pregnant. That day the base she was in was being heavily guarded due to the birth of the next Senju heir. The birth was going just fine until a platoon of Iwagakure troops had bombarded her base with powerful techniques. Immediately Chuunins started preparing the escape route and Tsunade and the newborn were escorted through the route.

Jaraiya, Orochimaru Dan and her brother Nawaki stayed to fight off the troops along with a few Jounins. The whole thing didn't make sense seeing as the enemies knew exactly where to find them and who were in the base at the time. And true to that when they had finally made it a safe distance away from the base they were ambushed by Rain and Iwa nins. After a long battle the leaf nin had won but not without losing a considerable amount of shinobi including the newly born Senju heir, the baby's father and Nawaki Senju.

After this eventful day Tsunade had changed. She had grown colder to everyone she knew. Not only that but she would throw herself into battle headfirst and grew quite a legendary temper. Alcohol and violence had consumed her life.

Minato and Tsunade had never gotten along. He was a war orphan who had been found during the Second Shinobi World War and throughout his youth had at many times been mistreated by her. At first he had been mad at her constant mistreatment of him but after being the apprentice of Jiraiya for a while he had learned about her tragic past and that anger was replaced with sympathy for the woman who had lost everything.

This is why after she told him that she would be leaving he let her go. The life of a ninja is a hard one and her life has been very difficult. She had left with the niece of her deceased lover promising to make the young 7 year old into a strong woman.

Even though this meant that the village would be weaker he put his role as Hokage aside and acted

The Fourth and the Sannin never got along well. And their relationship had considerably worsened after Minato became Hokage a few months back.

To Minato the sannin was a dark and mysterious person who would sacrifice anyone for what he would say was worthwhile. And Minato being the righteous man he was couldn't stand by this. They had almost fought when Minato discovered how the wood user had gained his power. Ever since then Minato has been watching him like a hawk.

Minato was in the middle of signing a document to rebuild a destroyed orphanage when Kakashi entered the room. Minato wouldn't have thought anything of this seeing as Kakashi was never one for following customs and traditions, what made him curious was the look of absolute seriousness on his surrogate son's face.

"Kakashi I can see that you're troubled, what might be causing this?" Asked a worried Minato.

"Minato-sensei I have something important to tell you, it's about Naruto," said Kakashi in a serious voice.

It was no surprise to Kakashi when Minato made a couple of hand-signs and the room glowed white. Minato went from Hokage mode to father mode.

He adopted a hard look on his face and with a serious tone said, "Continue."

"Yesterday night I found out that he was a sensor and was forced to put him in a sleep inducing genjutsu. He was hyperventilating and said that he felt that the signatures he sensed were giving off negative emotions," said an equally serious Kakashi.

At this point Minato's eyes were as wide as dinner plates, "WHAT?! Are you sure you heard right?! Did he say he sensed their negative emotions?"

"Yes I'm afraid so sir, I immediately put him to a dreamless sleep," said Kakashi.

Minato for lack of a better word was baffled. Never in his entire life had he heard of someone who was a sensor and could sense emotions. "Who else knows?" asked Minato, trying but failing to hide his shock.

"Only Guy and Itachi," responded Kakashi.

After hearing that Minato was relieved. Kami-sama knows what would happen if Danzo caught word of this. "Thank you Kakashi, please keep this a secret, if Danzo were to find out about this..."

Kakashi, knowing what his sensei was about to say, just gave a slight nod,"No problem sensei. Seeing as that is all I have to say I will be leaving," said a yawning Kakashi taking out what appeared to be an orange book out of his pouch.

Sighing with a wave of his hand Kakashi left.

After Kakashi exited, Minato lifted the privacy seal from the room and started to think a mile a second.

How would he train his son to be a sensor?

The village had very few sensors and if he wasn't careful Danzo might catch on to him.

After some serious internal debate he decided to teach Naruto at home. And thus ends the defining moment that started the career of Namikaze Naruto.

FLASHBACK END

After this Minato had told Kushina that he would personally train Naruto himself and try to help him control and develop his strength.

Naruto had thrown himself into his studies and at the current age of 5. At first he was scared to use his gift because it made him remember the dread that was felt on that eventful night but after a few talks with those close to him he realized that he would use his gift to make sure that the negative emotions radiating off of an enemy would not be released onto innocent people. Due to this constant training he eventually found a rival in his best friend Itachi Uchiha. Both boys were always either training with their fathers or training with each other. They were already genin material at a very young age but both Minato and Fugaku agreed not to enter their sons into the academy until they turned 6.

The villagers had come to know them as the prodigious duo. They were geniuses in their own right. They quickly learnt the 3 academy jutsus that were required for graduation and after that they branched out. Itachi had a great affinity for his clan's taijutsu, a mature mind for a 5 year old and he seemed to be learning a great deal about shurikenjutsu and many were certain that when he awakened his sharingan, he would be a genjutsu monster. Naruto proved to be a true Uzumaki right from the get-go coupled with his already large chakra reserves and high aptitude for fuinjutsu along with his father's intellect everyone was sure that in due time, he would be just as deadly as his father. His body was built similarly to his father so he took it upon himself to learn his fathers taijutsu style, the Hummingbird.

Right now Naruto and Itachi were sparring under the watchful eye of the Third Hokage. The third to Naruto was like a grandfather he had already picked a couple of jutsus from each element to teach to Naruto as soon as he graduated and his affinities were discovered. Whenever Minato couldn't make it to Naruto's training Hiruzen would step in and teach him. Also seeing as nowadays Kushina was busy with Naruko and Arashi he would often spend time with the boy to keep him company.

Hiruzen watched with amazement as the kid that he considered a grandson blocked a strike from Itachi's tanto with a kunai. He couldn't believe the raw skill these two had.

(With Naruto and Itachi)

Naruto had just blocked a horizontal strike from Itachi's tanto with a kunai and had followed up with a grapple attempt. He grabbed Itachi by the shirt and hip tossed him into a nearby pond. He then rushed him and right when he was about to faint a stab at him, Itachi backstepped and tripped him with his foot.

"Hehe, do you need help Naruto," said one chuckling Uchiha Itachi.

"Ppfftt, no I do not need help Itachi," said a now standing Naruto only to slip and fall again.

By now Itachi was laughing so hard that he didn't even notice the kunai coming for him until it was too late.

"Itachi move!" screamed a frantic Naruto. He had thought that Itachi was ready so he had thrown the kunai. Imagine his surprise when he saw the kunai sailing at high speeds towards his unsuspecting friend who was about to get impaled.

By the time Itachi had noticed what was going on the kunai was less than 6 inches away from impaling him and due to the velocity at which it was coming at, there was little to no chance left to dodge or block.

Itachi closed his eyes and felt angry, angry with himself. He was a ninja in training and he had been inattentive in a mock battle and because of that he was about to get killed. How would his mother feel? What would his father say? How about little Sasuke? He couldn't die here. NO WAY! His vision felt all fuzzy and he felt an unfamiliar burning in his eyes. He opened his eyes with a newfound determination and he was about to move when he noticed that the world seemed to slow down while simultaneously coming into focus. Acting quickly due to the situation, he quickly side-stepped to avoid the kunai and remained unmoved, confused with what just happened.

The Third Hokage had been silently watching the whole time. He was ready to use an earth jutsu to block the kunai until to his and Naruto's shock, Itachi dodge the kunai.

Naruto immediately stood up and ran to his friend. "Hey Itachi what was tha... the Sharingan," finished Naruto with a whisper.

Itachi upon hearing this grabbed his tanto and inspected his eyes in the reflection, what he saw made the usually stoic Uchiha start grinning like a madman. Instead of the black iris he had grown accustomed to, each eye now had a red iris with a single tomoe.

"I have awakened my Sharingan," said an excited Itachi.

Naruto could only stare in shock at the magnificent color of the powerful eye. This was his first time seeing a Sharingan up close and for some reason he felt as if something was calling out to him. Nonetheless he felt happy for his friend. But Naruto being the person he is just couldn't pass up an opportunity to fight his best friend who now had a powerup. He wanted to see how he stood against him now that he had awoken his sharingan.

"Hhmmmpppfff, just cause you got pink eye doesn't mean that you're all that," said Naruto playfully. Naruto thought that this wasn't going to have an effect on Itachi so imagine his surprise when Itachi challenged him to a spar.

"You want to go right now Namikaze?" Challenged Itachi

Naruto accepted the spar immediately. Both assumed a ready position and started trading blows once more. Naruto noticed Itachi's timing was completely off, and this led to a confused Itachi yielding to a smug naruto.

"Hahaha, oh... some mighty eye that is," said a chuckling Naruto. Itachi for his part was thoroughly confused. He could somewhat predict Naruto's attack but he was... too fast on the reaction and this threw off his whole game. He had also fatigued quite fast and after a while was not able to mount any offense or defense.

"Oh my, it looks like young Itachi has experienced the problem many Uchihas encounter upon practicing with their Sharingan for the first time. Listen up Itachi, what I am about to tell you will be useful to you throughout your whole ninja career. When the sharingan is first used, oftentimes the user's enhanced perception will throw off their timing, this can also cause a good amount of stress to your body due to your eyes being able to keep up more with the moves of your opponents. The current taijutsu style you use is for non-sharingan users, the one you want to learn is called the Interceptor Fist. When you get home, ask your father about this, he'll verify that everything I've said is true," said Hiruzen. Looking up at the sky he realized that it was getting late. "Well boys we should call it quits for today, it is getting late and a man of my age needs his rest."

"Jiji why don't you go home and Itachi and I go out for some... CELEBRATORY RAMEN," said an ecstatic Naruto, seeing a chance to eat the food of the gods, otherwise known as ramen.

"My my Naruto-kun I still see you have that obsession with ramen," said the amused former Hokage. "I'll tell you what I will give you extra money so that you may both eat till your hearts are content."

"Awesome, let's go, Itachi," said Naruto, taking the money and making dramatic gestures with his hands.

"Hey wait a minute I never agreed to this, I would much rather be home than be on my way to eat those salty, wet noodles," said Itachi slightly annoyed at having to wait to learn about his sharingan.

"You just want to get home so you can start training with your pink eye, why don't you come and join me and just re-hey watch it mis-ter," said Naruto as a large man carrying what seemed to be a body bag ran past him.

Naruto looked at Itachi,"Itachi, I felt a chakra signature in that bag."

Itachi looked back at Naruto and responded,"Let's go, Naruto."

With that said the 2 boys chased after the man as quickly as their 5 year old legs would take them. The mysterious man was faster than both of them but he seemed to not know his way around the village and as a result the boys were able to stay close enough to the man. After running into a few dead ends the man wound up on the path that led directly out of the village, due to Naruto being able to sense the man he realized that the man was close to the gate and Itachi seeing Naruto redoubling his effort did the same.

"Itachi, he is about to run out of the gates," said a worried Naruto.

"We can't do anything to stop him, he's too fast," said an equally worried Itachi,"He's about to escape with the child, what can we do?"

Itachi wasn't one to get angry easily but seeing this man about to escape with a kid made his overprotectiveness come out as he could only imagine what he would feel like if it were Sasuke that were in that bag.

"Wait a minute, I forgot that I tagged him with one of my Super Duper Naruto Special Traps: Chains of Absolute Justice," said Naruto in a moment of realization, puffing his chest out a bit.

At this Itachi face-palmed, "You're telling me that we've been chasing this guy for nothing this whol-forget it just activates the darn thing," said an annoyed Itachi.

Naruto immediately channeled chakra to his left shoulder and under the shirt a symbol that was on his shoulder immediately disappeared. Every shinobi within a mile radius could feel the dense chakra that appeared out of thin air.

When Naruto and Itachi arrived they saw the bag on the floor and the masked man on the floor bound by what looked like chains of golden chakra.

Immediately Naruto started celebrating how successful his jutsus was."Score! I got to try out the scroll that I put mom's chains into, and I even managed to knock out the dude, goes to show how awesome my family is, ne Itachi? Oh and remind me to never get mom upset, these things are powerful. I would hate to be on the receiving end of these things. Anyways I can't believe it actually worked, I'm so cool" said Naruto who was currently fist pumping the air.

Itachi had a massive sweat-drop. "That's enough of that, now let's see what or rather who is in the bag."

Upon opening it he saw a small child with blue hair. After checking to see if the child was breathing and checking for the pulse he opened one of the kids eyelids and noticed that it was a lavender colored, pupiless eye.

"Uh hey Itachi this guy has a funny headband on," said Naruto. He had seen his fair share of leaf headbands and this one looked nothing like one from the leaf.

Itachi upon further inspection realized that this man was from Kumo. He had only recognized the headband due to the many stories his older cousin Shisui had told him about his time in the 3rd Shinobi World War. What could a Kumo ninja possibly be doing in the Leaf?

He didn't have much of a chance to ponder this before a group of frantic Hyugas came into view. "Explain, right now Uchiha!"

Naruto had a look of confusion but still paid attention to Itachi's explanation. As Itachi was explaining the situation one of the older Hyugas was growing increasingly angry the entire time and looked like he was about to strike at the bound man until a new voice stopped him from assaulting the man on the floor.

"Stop right there Hiashi,"the Fourth Hokage had arrived and with him was a tall muscular dark-skinned man who had the same headband on his head that the man on the floor had. All eyes were in the direction of the Hokage, staring at the headband of the man who was flanking the Hokage's left.

"Kumo," was the last thing that was heard before all hell broke loose.

Author's Note: And there it is, chapter 2. Overall I feel like this chapter was better than my last one. I feel like there are still some things that I could have changed to improve the chapter but for now all I can do is wait for the reviews.
