A/n: Ok one thing you should know par of this chapter is based off the first chapter of "a different path" by Gaurdianangelzelos as you know it willhave similarities but if it's still too close for comfort to you, let me know. Btw this WILL be a super Naruto fic, don't like Naruto being kick ass then I suggest you read something else, maybe even watch something else. Because in my opinion Naruto having the strongest demon in existence sealed into him, gives him every right to be just as powerful (a wave of his hand and a mountain goes poof?) now to get that kind of power he will have to train… I mean where's the fun if I make him a god right of the press I mean hell if he's that powerful then I have no story… well id still have one but it would be cruddy… and one last thing for any flamers that take it upon themselves to let me know how bad my story is……

Thank you for reviewing…(for full effect, picture Naruto smiling his biggest smile while he's flipping you off)

Disclaimer- yea I know that this is to keep the worst evil known to man away (lawyers) so ill just say it: I don't own Naruto, if I did I swear Naruto would be more awesome…like ketchup…yep like ketchup

He was in a sewer. That much the young blond knew, but what didn't make sense was that there was no smell, there was about half a foot of murky water but no smell. Looking around he had no idea where he was. The last thing he remembered was going to bed in his apartment. But here he was in a sewer, wandering aimlessly for what had seemed like hours, when he saw a lit room ahead. Walking through the doorway, he entered into a huge room with pipes and valves everywhere. But the most noticeable thing in the large room were the nine giant ornate golden pillars on the far end of the room. On the largest pillar in the center was a plate of silver that had the kanji for 'seal' engraved into it. In front, contrasting against the absolute darkness on the other side of the pillars, stood a figure wearing a white cloak that shrouded his face. The person was almost like a statue, never moving but Naruto could feel the eyes on him, staring, watching his every movement. That was when he heard the voice… the voice was a deep bass that reverberated and echoed off the walls loudly, and yet at the same time was nothing more then a whisper on the wind.

"Welcome, young Uzumaki," the voice said as the cloaked figure took a step forward. It was then that Naruto noticed something else about this man, if the voice was any indication at all; he was walking not through the water but on it. It was then Naruto knew that whatever this man was, he was to be respected and feared.

"You are correct, that I should be respected Naruto but please don't be afraid. I'm not here to hurt you, just to help you…"

The small blonde paled when the voice read his mind. The man was now almost within arms reach when the voice spoke again.

"Do you know where we are?" Naruto shook his head quickly. The man in the cloak then turned around and gestured with his arms as he spoke.

"This is your mindscape, your mental representation of your body and everything in it including organs, memories, and your chakra."

"What about those?" Naruto asked pointing to the pillars and wincing at how small and weak his voice was compared to the person in front of him.

"Why don't you go get a closer look at them? Maybe then you will know what they represent." the voice said as the man stepped out of the way and turned to watch him again.

Swallowing his fear he nodded and took a step forward, the water around his feet sloshing noisily. Once he got over to the main center pillar he looked back at the man who nodded his head, silently saying 'go on'. Naruto looked back at the pillar in front of him and started to inspect it. It was big that was for sure, but what interested him the most was the small (compared to the pillar) intricate engraving of a regular fox sitting on the ground with the kanji for power on its chest. Around the fox on the pillar was carved to look like a forest with what looked to be mountains in the background. Glancing at the other pillars the scenes were similar in that there was fox on them, but even the fox was different on them. One pillar had a standing fox with two tails while another had a sleeping fox with eight.

"Why are there foxes on them?" he said to himself, looking back at the pillar in front of himself. The fox on it seemed to stare at him as if were alive.

"It is because that is what is on the other side." He looked back to see the man had walked up and stood behind him

"There is a fox on the other side?"

Looking back at the pillars he thought about what could be on the other side, and the only thing that made fit them was a fox. But the only foxes he had ever seen were as barely bigger then dog, and yet the pillars too big to keep something that small on the other side. Another thing that didn't make sense, why was there a fox in his mind? Glancing back at the man he was about to voice his question when the man cut him off.

"Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies. When the time comes Naruto you will know exactly what lies behind the pillars. Till then you should work on your chakra control, the difference between a great ninja and a legendary one is control. Try asking someone, your sensei perhaps, to help you with it."

Naruto nodded. He could do that since he was enrolled in the ninja academy and would start soon. He was about to leave when he realized he didn't know how to leave. As he turned to ask the man how to leave his world went black.

Beep…

Beep…

Beep…

Slowly Naruto started to wake trying to find the off switch for the accursed screaming box of annoyingness before sitting up and stretching. Getting out of bed the small blonde made his way to the calendar on the other side of the room. Upon reaching his destination he stops dead realizing what day it was and smiled. The first day of school…

The blonde eight year old with a huge smile on his face made his way to the cabinet and picked out one of his many stale instant ramen cups. Even though it was stale it was one of the few things that the villagers would actually let him buy. He liked other foods it was just cheaper and easier to buy stale ramen then to deal with an angry mob. With a sigh, he heated some water for his ramen.

After he finished his meal and dressing in his usual white t-shirt with a red spiral on the front, his orange jacket, and his orange pants, he quietly made his way downstairs. Though he attempted to keep himself quiet and unnoticeable, he found the second he left his apartment people would either disappear or gather together and beat him, the latter most often being the case. The boy looked down the walkway making sure to not bother anyone and to ignore each of the hateful glares that was being shot at him. He watched as the few people around him started to gather and grow in number while they mumbled things like "there's the demon" and "why doesn't he just die?"

Running as fast as he could, he ran in the direction of the academy before a riot could start. Again...

After running a couple blocks down the street, Naruto let out a sigh of relief that he had gotten away unscathed. With only single glance back over his shoulder, he continued on his way to the academy.

A few minutes after he first started his trek, he saw another boy walk around the corner a block ahead of him and begin walking the same direction, not noticing Naruto all the while. For a second, Naruto stopped his walking and just watched the other boy walking down the street in front of him. Then, with a mischievous smile, Naruto jumped into the trees and hopped from tree to tree until he was almost on top of him. Naruto chuckled manically in his mind as he followed the boy within the safety of the trees, making sure that he wasn't seen or heard. Though there was one point where he accidentally broke a branch while the boy under him stopped and looked upwards into the branches above him, he then sighed and continued his walk to the academy muttering something under his breath about 'blondes' and 'shadows'.

Naruto was silently cursing himself for making such a stupid mistake. He sat there as still as possible for a few seconds while the boy on the ground gained some distance. Again Naruto set out trying to sneak up on the youth in front of him before silently dropping to the ground. There was no way his plan could fail this time. He was almost in position when he found he couldn't move…

"How can you ever expect to sneak up on someone if you give away your position every time?" the other boy asked with a sigh as he looked up at the clouds with his hands in his pockets as Naruto mimicked his movements.

"How do you always do that," Naruto said, as he stood there forced to stare into the sky.

"It's not hard I just pay attention to my surroundings," the pineapple haired boy replied as he sighed yet again. "C'mon Naruto we're going to be late if we don't hurry"

He said as he released his jutsu and continued on his way with a pouting Naruto walking beside him.

Several minutes later as they were nearing the academy they heard the screams approaching. Anyone with any amount of intelligence knew enough to get out of the way, and they wisely did just that and waited for the eventual banshee hurricane to pass…

"Forehead Girl!"

"Ino Pig!"

"Forehead Girl!"

"Ino Pig!"

"Forehead Girl!"

"Ino Pig!"

The two girls passed with dust trailing behind them, running over everything and everyone that got in their way, including an unsuspecting ANBU who managed to land in the wrong place at the wrong time.

"Ouch… poor guy never even knew what hit him," Naruto said as he winced at the sight of the trampled man.

"Hey Shika, think I could sneak up on Hina-chan?" Shikamaru looked at him like he was a complete idiot, for not seeing the very person he was talking about behind him, before sighing and walked off alone leaving Naruto standing there.

Naruto was about to follow him when felt something watching him, he stopped as he turned around to look at the bushes. Looking at them suspiciously, he tiptoed toward them, inspecting them for a moment. After a couple more seconds, he shrugged and turned around to leave, but then jumped back at the bushes to surprise whoever was in them. And Naruto came face to face with…no one. Naruto closed his eyes and scratched the back of his head, thinking for sure that he had felt someone watching. Then, with another shrug, he walked away with his hands folded behind his head.

As soon as he was turned around a small girl stepped out behind a tree and looked after him. With a slightly blushing face, she snuck up behind the boy getting ready to attack. When he finally her steps he stopped dead almost causing her to run into him, spinning as fast as he could Naruto spun around to peer in the opposite direction only to stare at nothing, turning back around Naruto found himself face to Juukenand froze.

"Naruto-kun, you really need to pay attention better," the small girl playfully scolded him with a slightly darkening blush

(A/N: in my story Hinata wont stutter in certain situations because she grew up with Naruto and that alone helped her speak more clearly)

"Hey, that's not fair! You weren't supposed to sneak up on me!" Naruto pouted while Hinata giggled

"That's one more for me Naruto-kun," she said thinking about the game they decided to play a few weeks ago that involved them trying to catch each other off guard.

Still pouting Naruto looked at his best friend and her eyes, which held the activated Byakugan. He never really understood why he would stare at them but he would catch himself every now and then staring He also never caught on to her staring at him with a blush on her face whenever he wasn't paying attention.

Breaking him from his thoughts Hinata told him she was going to continue on her way to school before walking away. Naruto himself was still lost in thought thinking up ways to sneak up on her when he realized she was already gone and he was about to be late.

Sprinting off in the direction of the academy. He never saw the man with a solid white cloak standing on the building fade away turning to dust in the light breeze.

Naruto had just taken his seat next to Hinata and Shikamaru when their sensei spoke up.

"Okay class," said the young man toward the large number of children before him. He wore the signature Chuunin vest and a hitae-ate with the leaf symbol on it rested on his forehead. His brown hair was tied back and a scar went across his upper nose, far enough to reach past his eyes. Yet the scar could not hinder how kind his eyes were. "My name is Umino Iruka, and I will be teaching you for the next four years that you will be training here. I hope I can get to know all of you while you are here." Iruka said with a close-eyed smile.

"Now, before we begin I'm going to do a roll call and make sure everyone is here." He said never letting the smile slip

A few minutes later, with Iruka almost done he came across a name that he thought he would never see…Uzumaki Naruto.

He looked up and searched the room before finding the trademarked whiskers and blonde hair. Even though he hated to admit it, he could not help but think, 'Kyuubi no Yoko…' he knew that the child was just the container but it was still hard not to think of him as the demon himself.

Hesitantly he finished roll call and paused to think about how the next few years would be torture with him having to deal with the container everyday. he sighed before taking a deep breath to put his smile back on before continuing his speech.

"Now, before I tell you what we will be doing this year, I think we should have everyone introduce themselves…"

The first day of school was over and the rest of the students were leaving while Naruto stayed behind and waited. During the first lesson describing chakra, Naruto remembered his dream and what the man said. Even though it was a dream it couldn't hurt to get help. The last person to leave was Hinata and just as she went out the door she looked back blushing. Of course Naruto again didn't notice the blush but waved to her as she left. Iruka noticed that he didn't leave and waited till everyone had left before asking what Naruto wanted.

"Naruto, why did you stay behind? Was there something in today's lesson that confused you?"

"No sensei, I wanted to ask you if you could help me control my chakra better." He said

If Naruto had asked at the beginning of class, Iruka would have immediately refused. But seeing how Naruto paid attention and was an over all good student and didn't try to disrupt class (even though the other students interrupted it saying it was his fault).

"Okay, since learning how to draw out chakra was covered in the lesson today. How about I show you something that will help your control greatly if you can master it."

Seeing Naruto's confused but happy face Iruka smiled and continued. "Follow me, we need to be outside to do this."

Not arguing since someone was actually helping him for a change Naruto followed his sensei out side to a small grove of trees were Iruka stopped and started smiling.

"Now here we will begin the first exercise: tree climbing." He was about to show Naruto how to do it when the young blonde asked,

"Sensei how is climbing trees going to help me when I already know how?"

Not saying anything Iruka walked up the tree and stood there letting his actions speak for him. Naruto watched as his sensei walked up the tree.

"How do I do that?" he asked.

"You remember how to draw and focus your chakra right?" he nodded "just focus it on the bottom of your feet then get a running start,"

Nodding again Naruto was about to try when a kunai hit the ground in front of him looking up questioningly at his sensei Iruka spoke "Use it to track your progress up the tree."

Grabbing the kunai Naruto focused his chakra and ran up the tree, getting about six steps up before slipping. He quickly marked his place before he fell to the ground.

Iruka, now on the ground behind Naruto, sat and watched the boy run up the tree mark it then fall over and over. He sighed as he watched knowing this would take a long time for the young blonde to master.

Four years later

Naruto was sitting next to Hinata and Shikamaru waiting for Iruka to arrive in the classroom. Looking around the room he watched the rest of his friends talk amongst themselves. Ino and Sakura were arguing over who 'Sasuke-kun' liked more, who was going to sit next to him, and what they thought he liked the most. The emo himself was having a heated brood-off with the window, trying to melt a hole into it and burn something outside with his thoughts alone. Kiba was busy boasting to the nearest girl, how strong he was and how he could 'beat anyone in a fight'. Chouji was munching on chips from the bag that never seemed to empty, and Shino was being…well Shino. Hinata was (to him) acting weird, looking at the floor like it was the most interesting thing in the world while glancing at him every few seconds, and Shikamaru was asleep…again…

Naruto sighed wondering what the test was going to be over, when the door opened and Iruka and Mizuki walked in. they walked to the front of the room and almost immediately all attention was on Iruka.

"We will now start the final exam, which you will be graded in three different categories: throwing weapons, taijutsu, and ninjutsu, when we are finished with the first two parts of the test, your name will be called, please continue to the next room where we will administer the final part…" at this point Naruto tuned him out while thinking about what technique he would be made to use during the ninjutsu portion of the test.

"NARUTO!!" Iruka yelled bringing Naruto forcefully out of his thoughts. " Did you even listen to my instructions?" Iruka asked

"Of course I did sensei," Naruto said as he scratched the back of his head and smiling.

" Really? Then why are you the only one left in the classroom when everyone else is outside?" he said slightly smirking as Naruto started to sweat.

"uh…er…sorry sensei," he said as he dropped his head not wanting to meet his teacher's eyes.

Iruka sighed, "C'mon Naruto don't want to miss the first part of the exam,"

Naruto nodded and followed Iruka outside to where the rest of the class was lined up and waiting to throw. He took his place at the far end and waited like everyone else.

"Okay," Iruka began "one at a time, you will all throw 5 kunai and 5 shuriken then we will grade you on accuracy, first up" he said glancing down at a clipboard in his hands "will be…"

The minutes slowly ticked by as student by student they where called into the next room for the final part of the exam. So far Naruto hadn't been doing to well he could only get half of his kunai and shuriken to stick to the target and in the taijutsu tournament he got beaten because his stance was 'sub-par' as Mizuki put it. Slowly as Iruka came closer to his name Naruto became more and more tense, which did not go unnoticed by the small lavender eyed girl next to him.

"N-Naruto-kun, what's wrong?" she asked her voice barely a whisper and a light pink tinge on her cheeks.

Naruto, who was arguing with himself over how bad he was going to mess up the final test, didn't hear her. Seeing this she tried again a little louder. "Naruto?"

And again the blonde didn't hear her. A few seconds later, with Hinata was starting to worry even more, she reached over and lightly touched him on the shoulder. The reaction was instantaneous… he jumped nearly a foot out of his seat and looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

"What's wrong?" Hinata asked once again. Naruto sighed. He didn't want to tell anyone he was afraid. But it was Hinata, one of the very few people that would even begin to listen to him and for some strange reason, looking into her eyes he felt he could tell her anything; it was strangely comforting and he slowly relaxed.

"I don't know what they are going to have me do for my ninjutsu, I'm better at ninjutsu that anything else but I still cant make a clone." He began "If fail, I can't become a ninja." He sighed and looked at the ground. Hinata was about to reply to him when Mizuki walked in.

"Naruto Uzumaki." Mizuki said and walked back out the open door. Hinata look back at Naruto

"Don't worry about it too much, I know you'll pass" she said smiling at him and he couldn't help but smile back.

"Arigatou, Hinata-chan."

Naruto then fallowed after Mizuki in the next room. As he walked in he look around, at the front of the room was a table where Iruka sat waiting. On the table was the many different hitae-ate that ranged from belts to bandanas. The light was streaming in through the multiple windows as he walked to the center of the room to wait for instructions.

Over the past few years Iruka had helped Naruto with his chakra control after school. Doing tree climbing, water walking, and the leaf exercise. Eventually his control got to the point where he could do the henge with out any hand signs or saying the jutsu name. But that same proficiency didn't translate to his clone jutsu no matter what Naruto did he just could not make a clone. And unfortunately for Naruto that was what the final part was over.

"Naruto please make three clones." Iruka said

Naruto flinched when he heard what jutsu he had to use then nodded before putting his hands together in the hand sign that he needed and yelled out "clone jutsu" and a cloud of smoke appeared.

As the smoke settled it revealed that the single clone made could barely stand and was sickly looking. Seeing this Iruka sighed and failed him.

"Iruka," Mizuki began before Naruto could leave "the clone was off, but his hand sign was correct and he did manage to make a clone that would distract the enemy. You know how hard he has been practicing," it was a well-known fact around the village that Iruka spent time with Naruto helping him when no one else would. "We could cut him a break and let him pass." He finished.

Looking at Naruto being filled with hope, Iruka hated to say no but he had to. "Mizuki," Iruka began with a sigh "the other students could each create at least three clones, but Naruto could only make one and look at it … it's pitiful…I can't pass Naruto this way…"

That was the last of what Naruto heard as he ran from the room.

Later that day Naruto sat watching the others talking and laughing while their parents boasted to each other. He listened to the adults that were talking about him and managed to overhear two mothers talking about him.

"There he is…" one said

"I heard he's the only one who failed…" the other said

"Hmph…serves him right …" the first said

"Just imagine what would happen if he became as ninja… I mean he's the-" the second was cut off by the first.

"Shh! You know we're not allowed to talk about that!"

Naruto, finally hearing enough, decided to leave when Mizuki appeared next to him and motioned for Naruto to follow him. After they were alone sitting on a rooftop watching the sun set Mizuki spoke.

"Don't worry Naruto, Iruka's tough but he's not against you"

"Then why, why was I the only one that failed?"

"He wants you to be strong with all his heart, but that will never happen if he goes easy on you…" Mizuki paused in thought. "He's like you, you know," he said glancing at Naruto before returning his gaze to the setting sun.

"No parents, no family…"

"But I really wanted to pass" said sadly "I tried so hard practicing every day, I'd give anything to pass…"

Instantly a smirk came to Mizuki's face. " Then I guess I have to tell you…" he paused to make sure he had Naruto's attention "it's a secret but I'm going to let you in on it…"

Naruto panted as he sat on the grass, the trees around him slashed and burned with what looked to be drilled holes in them. It had taken the better part of the night, but he had done it. He had been able to master several jutsu from the scroll one of them helped him master the others and that one would be enough to get him to pass. he was about to stand up and go return the scroll when Naruto looked up as Iruka landed in front of him, a creepy look on his face. "I've found you."

Naruto scratched the back of his head, laughing nervously, "Heh heh, yeah, you found me. I only had a chance to learn a few Jutsu!"

Iruka's eyes trailed over the clearing and Naruto's form, noticing rips and frayed patches in the fabric of his black tee shirt and the burns, holes, and scratches in the trees, "You've been working hard. What have you been doing?"

Naruto giggled excitedly, " I mastered some really cool jutsu!! Listen sensei, if I show you a powerful Jutsu, you'll have to let me graduate!"

Iruka blinked, "What gave you that idea?"

Naruto grinned, "Mizuki-sensei!" Naruto patted the large scroll on his back, "He told me where to find this scroll and he said that if I mastered one Jutsu on here, you'd let me graduate!"

Iruka's mouth fell open, 'Why would Mizuki-'

A whooshing sound fell unto their ears, Suddenly Iruka pushed him away and a barrage of kunai flew out of the trees at them. Iruka raised his arms to defend himself and was pushed against and pinned to the hut by the rain of throwing knives.

A soft rustle of leaves brought everyone's attention to the other end of the clearing, where Mizuki sat on a branch. A smirk was plastered to his lips and two large shuriken were strapped to his back. The super sized throwing stars clanged lightly as he let out a dark chuckle. "I'm impressed Iruka, you managed to find him before I could."

"I see," Iruka spat, tugging a kunai from his shoulder, "So that's what's going on…"

"Naruto," Mizuki's malicious smile disappeared, "Give me the scroll now!"

"No matter what," Iruka pulled another knife from his shoulder, "Naruto, don't give him the scroll! He used you to get his dirty hands on it!"

An evil grin stretched across the silver haired man's face.

"Naruto, he just doesn't want you to have the scroll"

"Stop lying Mizuki!! Don't listen Naruto!"

"Naruto," Mizuki said in a singsong voice, "how about I tell you the real truth…"

"No, Mizuki!" Iruka shouted in protest. "It's forbidden!!"

Mizuki's smirk widened into a maniacal grin and his voice was slightly giddy, "Twelve years ago, the demon fox Kyubi was sealed. And ever since that event, a new rule was created…a rule that everyone knows but you…because, Naruto…you were never meant to know it."

"Huh?" Naruto asked, "What rule?"

"That no one is allowed to speak of it, Iruka's trying to hide it even now," Mizuki's eyes widened excitedly. "the truth is Naruto, That the nine tailed demon fox that killed Iruka's parents and nearly destroyed the village is inside you!!"

Mizuki's smile threatened to split his face as Naruto looked at the ground.

"You were sealed up by the Hokage you admire…" Mizuki's voice rose. "That's why everybody hates you! That's why people treat you like dirt…because you are the nine tailed fox!!"

Mizuki paused and waited for Naruto's reaction but when the boy just stood there with his head down, he started to get worried but that didn't wipe the grin off his face.

"I don't care"

Mizuki face grew confused. "Huh?"

"I don't care!!!" Naruto yelled, "I don't care if I'm the Kyubi or if I'm the Hokage! You think that just because you say that people hate me, that I'll just lay down and die?! I wont give people like you the satisfaction."

Naruto made a sign and a several hundred shadow clones surrounded the clearing. Each and every one of them was angry.

"Bu-but…but…" Mizuki stuttered. "That's impossible!!"

Mizuki backed away into the awaiting grasp of two Naruto clones. He could do nothing to stop them from grabbing his arms and throwing him into the crowd of clones below.

Naruto's icy gaze bore into Mizuki's eyes, "this is where I beat you within an inch of your life…"

Fear crept onto the traitor's face, "N-no! Y-you're the D-dead last!"

"But I think the ANBU in the trees have something more funplaned for you…" he finished just as a squad of ANBU landed in the clearing surrounding Mizuki

"Looks like Ibiki is going to have some fun tonight" one said as they disappeared with a screaming Mizuki.

The blonde ninja turned and swaggered back to Iruka as his clones disappeared, a smile on his face, "Are you okay, Iruka-sensei?"

Iruka smiled back, "Close your eyes, Naruto."

Naruto closed his eyes and held his breath, his heart beating erratically. He could feel his goggles being pulled from his head, then a piece of cloth being tied above his eyebrows. He couldn't help the grin that stretched across his face.

Naruto was on his way home to get some sleep before having to go to the academy to be assigned into a team. He was thinking about who would be on his team.

'If it was Hinata, Shikamaru, and me, the team would be awesome. I'm already training with them...' his thoughts stopped abruptly as he ran into someone as he walked around a corner.

"Hey watch where you're go-"

"Hello Naruto, how long has it been since our last meet?" said a voice that sent chills down his spine. Looking up he saw it was the man that introduced him to Hinata all those years ago.

=-=-=-=-=Flashback=-=-=-=-=(four years after the sealing)

Naruto was sitting in the training ground turned park watching the other kids play. He always wanted to play with them but whenever he would try an adult would grab him and drag him away for a beating and tell him to never go near them. They would never tell him why, only beat him and yell at him for even thinking about going near the other children.

He was about to start crying when someone spoke. Their voice deep and calming and yet unsettling to the point were you would remember every word spoken.

"Hello, why are you sitting here when you should be playing?"

The man was pale and had long black hair. He wore white shirt, on his right arm was a white cloth hitae-ate with a black plate that had a white kanji engraved on it. His pants were black and he wore a pair black leather boots. His silver eyes stared intently into Naruto's blue.

"The adults wont let me. They always beat me when I get near." He said tears beginning to show in his eyes.

"I see, how about you follow me and tell me all about yourself?" the strange man asked. Naruto didn't know what to do all his life no one had ever cared enough to listen to him, they always yelled.

Nodding Naruto stood and followed the man into forest down a path he never noticed before. After a few seconds the man stopped and looked at Naruto. " Well this is as good a place as any to begin your story just start talking when you feel comfortable." He said and walked off and left Naruto standing there confused before he ran to catch up.

Naruto started off slightly stuttering afraid that he would be beaten but slowly gained confidence and told the man about his short life and how he was treated. The man never once yelled at him or even interrupted, which made Naruto start babbling about everything he knew about. Naruto had lost track of time when the man stopped and he ran into him and fell down.

"Hey, why did-" Naruto began but was silenced by the man

"Shh, do you hear something?" he asked. At first Naruto didn't bet when he concentrated he thought he heard someone crying. Looking at the man questioningly he helped Naruto up and pointed. Naruto followed his finger to an outcropping of boulders.

" There…" the man's voice trailed off.

Naruto looked back confused, but found nothing the man had disappeared. Sighing he slowly walked over and peeked around the rocks. As the man had said, he found a small girl with dark blue hair crying, she hadn't noticed him yet.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The girl looked up and small lavender pupil-less eyes met blue. "Nani?! W-who are you?" she asked

"I'm Naruto Uzumaki, nice to meet you."

=-=-=-=-=Flashback End=-=-=-=-=

After that Naruto and Hinata became best friends, playing with each other whenever the chance came up. The man on the other hand, he never found again.

"What do you want?" Naruto asked. He wasn't stupid the last time this man showed his face his life changed, he knew whatever this man wanted it would change his life again.

"Just to ask you a few questions that's all," he said

" And that would be?"

"What do you think of my eyes?" he asked. Naruto looked him in the eye, and even in the dark the moonlight was enough to make his eyes almost glow with flecks of red, green, and blue around the edges of his golden pupil.

"Their kind' a cool," he said trying to pass off his interest in them as nothing.

"Would you like yours to be like mine?" he asked

"Uhm, I guess, it would be awesome way to scare my enemies." Naruto said while in his 'thinking pose' " doesn't really matter though I don't need them it's not like it would change anything about me, I mean it would be nice to have but unless they somehow magically make me super cool, I don't need them."

The man chucked lightly "Alright that's all I want to know." He said as he helped Naruto to his feet. " You should get some sleep, you have a very busy day tomorrow,"

Naruto walk past him the door to the building where his apartment was. When the man spoke again, " Do be careful Naruto, dreams are never what they appear to be…" his voice trailed off as Naruto looked back to see the man had disappeared again.

As soon as Naruto's head hit his pillow he was asleep, lost in his dreams.
