Authors note: Should have mentioned this, I'm a wee bit of a dyslexic… so sorry for the spelling errors, I just got a beta, and as some of you have noticed the prologue has being edited So three cheers for Konjer- The Double Enigma!
Additionally I would like to apologize for the whole unoriginalness of Naruto's barring of the Sharingan… I did this actually not for the power boost it gives (Which is not actually as significant as you think considering the enemies he primarily fights use uncopyable justu, and the fact that he will NOT be reaching Magenko with it, fully mature at a early age, yes, through many years of practice, but not the infamous kaleidoscope) but mainly for the plot abilities. The Sharingan marks him as a Uchiha, a member of the most respected clan of the Village of the leaves, and while he will hide it for now, it will act as the proof he needs to win over a few people. It will also play a massive role the drama aspect. And will actually enable him to improve his abilities. Although how will not be revealed until the next chapter (although if you have two brain cells to rub together you can likely figure it out) Most of these things won't relay kick in until chapter two through four anyway…
Disclaimer: I own nothing if you want to give me something then yay for me!
Revelations
Naruto was rather surprised to find out that the Sarutobi himself was his caretaker for the first few years… apparently no orphanage would take him in. He never knew how much he owed the old man so much. He tried to be as little of a problem as possible. Although he did scare the old man senseless when he flared his sharingan, in his presence. It was interesting, holding it drained his reserves fast, but the drain lessened with each burst. By two he could hold it for almost twenty minuets, although it was still only barring a single comma. He found that though it he could see things in high detail, even if they were moving incredibly fast, he could also pierce genjutsu like a basic henge. He had one chance to copy a jutsu with it once, but didn't. It seemed he needed two to do that. Once a man that looked like an older version of Itachi or Sasuke that had to be the head of the Uchiha clan. He was tempted to use his 'gift' then but a few choice words of the man dispelled that notion before it even had a chance to take root.
Mid way through his third year he was moved to a new orphanage, the first place he could remember from his original memories. It actually wasn't that bad, the man that ran it was a civilian that moved here from Grass Country. He was one of the few people that didn't look at him with fear, although he did have to distance himself from the container in order to maintain his business. He was a little curious as to Naruto's apparent intelligence. Few 2.5 year olds could hold an intelligent conversation. It was through his next year at the place that he learned the most he ever had about the world around him. The caretaker a man known as Kira told him of many things out side the shinobi arts, the basics of physics, some mathematics, some cooking (alright some fun little snack foods), and even a little history, that he somehow made interesting! Still there was something wrong about this bout of happiness… the looks that came to him would occasionally glance to Kira now and then… by his third birthday he couldn't take it any longer.
"Kira-sama?" the blond looked up at his caretaker, the man was a bit taller then average, with not quite short, and not quite long brown hair and brown, almost black eyes.
Said man smiled down at his favorite charge. "Yes Naruto? Why so formal?"
"Kira… I have a few things to tell you… a few secrets… I can take the glares, but you shouldn't have to." He shook his head
The man frowned slightly "What do you meen Naruto?"
The boy closed his eyes "On my stomach there is a seal, one designed to contain to bind one soul to another… to cage something in another being. By merely living I act as its jailer… It's a seal that can only be placed at birth, so that the host's chakra coils can adapt and grow around it… It's a seal to hold a demon."
Kira had an eyebrow raised "Is that so? And what demon do you hold?" he didn't really believe him. He could tell that.
"It's a seal to hold the Kyuubi No Kitsune… the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. A law was put into place so that no one but me is allowed to talk about it." He reached down and drew up his shirt, channeling some chakra, as it always did the seal manifested.
The older mans eyes opened wide "You're not joking."
"No… I'm not, and that's not all. I have a family, although they don't know I am related to them." His eyes opened and they were red, one with one comma mark in it, another with two.
"Those eyes…" he murmured "I've seen them before, at the Uchiha compound… You're a Uchiha aren't you?"
He nodded "On my mothers side… Kyuubi triggered it, although it's asleep right now." the sharingan faded back to his normal sapphire blue. "Got the hair and eyes from my dad… to my knowledge only I know who he is."
Kyra raised an eyebrow again Naruto knew why, after all he was a smart guy. "And how do you know that if no one else dose?"
Naruto sighed "Do you know how the Sharingan eyes work?"
"No… I don't know many things about how shinobi work." The older man seemed a little confused.
"They let the wielder instantly memorize anything they see, track fast objects, as well as see Chakra, and the more evolved form with three marks can hypnotize people on eye contact… My eyes were activated by the Kyuubi and the memory of that event will forever be burned into my memories… the memory of my father telling me how proud he was of me, and to be strong… right as he died from the strain of sealing the demon into me." He looked at the monument in the distance. "I'm doing my best… but it's hard." He shook his head before looking at the man once more. "I need to leave here Kira, not Kohona, but this place. You've being nothing but nice to me, and because of that you're getting the hateful looks I do."
The older man was somewhat stunned, this was a hell of a bombshell to drop, scratch that volley of bombshells. "Naruto…"
"Dam it, I can look after myself! You taught me more then enough to survive… and I need to do this." He started out angry, but ended up just sad. "I need to become stronger. I can't do that here." He looked back up eyes determined "Don't you see that? I don't want to leave Kira-san, but I have to."
There was silence for a moment. "Where will you go?"
"The old man Hokage will have a place… I need to talk to him about some stuff anyway." He offered a small smile "Like how I'm going to take his job soon!"
The smile was mirrored "Theirs no way I can talk you out of this is there?"
Naruto shook his head still grinning. "Afraid not."
He sighed "I just don't know what to do with you Naruto... Just remember, you'll always have a place here."
"I'll remember that!" he grinned, and with that he ran off towards the tower. He had to talk to the old man…
(Seen Brake)
Sarutobi was filing paperwork in his office when a grinning blond, stepped into the room, his current caretaker standing by his side. Despite the massive difference in height, it was clear who was leading this little expedition.
"Old man, we need to talk."
Authors note: and that raps up this chapter, the next one should be out at some time or another… Naaa I'm just screwing with you.
"What is it Naruto?" he looked at the pare.
"I need a flat…" the shinobi lord raised an eyebrow.
Kira took a step forward "Naruto has designed to move out." he shot a look at the boy "We know he is rather young, but he is capable."
The third's brow remained in place. "Is that so?"
Naruto's eyes narrowed as he contemplated the situation "Kira, I need to talk to the old man alone."
Both of the older men turned to look at him the brunet asking "Are you sure?"
"Yes, it will make it easier." Naruto nodded tacking on an all to familiar serious look.
"Alright then…" he was obviously a little uncertain, while the Hokage himself seemed to be growing curious.
As Kira left the blond turned back to Sarutobi. "Old man you know what I am… both my real name and my burden."
The old man drew another puff from his pipe "Indeed, although I am curious as to how you do."
"I would think that is obvious." His eyes flared red with the sharingan "It was activated when the seal was placed… that image will always be burnt into my mind, just as every other one I is when I use them."
The third though about it "I assume this is the reason behind your 'maturity?'"
The blond nodded, grinning inwardly, who needs to lie? Show people a few incomplete facts, and they'll make up there own conclusions. "I can also speak a few languages… picked up one jutsu as well." He then preformed a henge. Once more he hadn't lied, he had picked up a jutsu, the grand fireball, although he didn't have the reserves to use it yet.
"I see… I still don't understand why you want to move out?" 'The Professor' continued as the youngster dropped the henge and his dojutsu, brow sweating from the strain.
"They're glaring at Kira-san now… I can take the looks Old man, but I won't let someone else pay for my burden. I also need to get stronger, and a kid training in a orphanage would look weird wouldn't it?" he was giving his best foxy grin.
The old mans brow raised once more "Is that so?"
"Yep!" the blue eyed boy nodded "And I got good resons."
"Oh, would you care to enlighten me?" he leaned back, taking another draw on his pipe.
"Ok! You see I got it all figured out! I'm going to be the Hokage like you are! Everyone respects you, so if I become the Hokage they will respect me!" The lost Uchiha had a fire in his eye that would make a certain bushy eyed Jonin rant about youth in envy.
"Is that it?" the Sandiame had an amused look to his face, remembering another blue eyed blond.
Naruto looked down "Well… Theirs one other thing… Dad wanted me to be strong for them…" he shook his head "I… I know I never really knew him, and because of him my life is going to be hell, but he was my dad." He looked up real tears to his eyes, though they did not shed. "I want to do this for him. the best way I can figure to do that is become Hokage."
The smile had faded into a thoughtful look. "Are you certain of this?"
"Yes." There was no hesitation.
"I can not in good continence just let a three year old, even one of your… abilities… go out onto the world on his own." He paused "Still… you raise a few good points, ones surprising from one as young as you, which in itself says much." He got to his feet slowly. "I'll compromise with you on this. If you can prove yourself self sufficient then you can go out on your own. There is a small apartment I own that I never really use." Actually there were several for such occasions similar to this one… "I will appoint you a small allowance. If you make it through the inter month with out returning to the orphanage for help, or running out of money, it is yours, and I will continue the allowance."
"You got yourself a deal old man!" the blond grinned, confidence poring out of him in waves.
Ok for real this chapter is done now. I hope you liked it. The next one will show up who knows when.
