Dear readers,

In this Orochimaru is still good, and Naruto is 14. There is no immortality jutsu, and the Pain/Akatsuki attack hasn't occurred. All the bijuu and Jinchuuriki are around and will play a special part in this. Lastly I got part of the Storyline from Haseo55.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto.

Chapter 1: Left Behind

Summary: After bringing Sasuke back and he agreed to stay in this "rotten village" life went downhill for Naruto. He was forgotten by everyone, even Jaraiya and Tsunade. Life has become terrible. Now without enforcement, he is mocked (constantly) and beaten (only on birthday). His only friends are Lee, Hinata, and Sakura. All his friends are Elite chuunin on the verge of becoming Jounin (Actually Neji and Shikamaru are Jounin). Right now things might look up for Naruto soon …

1 Year Earlier

In the Hokages office stood the Konoha 12 after being called together by fifth Hokage and Slug Sannin, Tsunade Senju; also their mentors and Tsunade's teammates, Jaraiya the Toad Sannin, and Orochimaru the Snake Sannin.

"Thank you for all coming and we, the sannin have some important information to give you." Said Tsunade. "Now does anyone know why they are here?" Everyone shook their heads negatively. "Well, you all should be very proud of yourselves, because as of now in light of recent event; we the sannin have decided to train you all as our apprentices…"

Everyone in the group was speechless besides Naruto. "Yatta! I'll be training with baa-chan, ero-sennin, and teme-sennin!"

Suddenly Tsunade spoke, "except for you Naruto, you do not qualify."

"No way! How come!? I worked hard enough!" he bellowed.

Then Tsunade replied "Well, for starters, your chakra control is as bad as an academy student, you don't even KNOW and can barely even dispel a genjutsu, IF you figure you are trapped in one in the first place. Your only effective jutsu is the Kage Bunshin (shadow clone) and Rasengan which you can only do using a clone. Sakura probably has better Taijutsu than you. And even though Lee can't use chakra he has some of the best Taijutsu moves ever. Lastly, you are a danger to yourself and the team you're on, your brash moves could get anyone killed in a battle situation."

"But baa-chan I will work ward! I promise! I won't slack and I will pay attention! Come ero-sennin. Back me up! I'll need to come with you if I want to become Hokage! Bbbbelieve ittt!" Naruto was stuttering and blubbering. Tears were trickling out of his sorrow filled eyes.

Her iron will still intact, she replied. "Naruto, I'm sorry but this my only option."

Naruto then replied coldly, "Okay then. I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations, Hokage-sama, Jaraiya-sama, and Orochimaru-sama." His voice dripping with sarcasm and laced with venom. Making the three flinch.

As Naruto walked out of the building he heard snickering or whispers of how he wasn't even worthy of the headband or how he was and always would be dead last. But amongst those voices he also heard three calls of "Shisou why would you do that to Naruto!" from Sakura a "That was very unyouthful" from Lee, and a "Thatttt is nnot vvery fairr Tsunade-sama." From Hinata.

Nowadays everything for Naruto is terrible. Gone was the loud obnoxious brat who was now replaced with a quiet, cunning yet timid boy. The only friends he had were Hinata, Lee, and Sakura. Though Sakura was starting to think of Naruto more and more in a different sense (not that she would ever tell anyone that). Shikamaru got the guts to ask Ino out which resulted in an instant couple, which in turn started a chain reaction of events. Now almost all of the people in the Konoha 11 were dating someone. Kiba got Hinata to fall for him using his "charm", Sasuke met some girl named Karin on the training trip, and Neji grew some bawls and went with Tenten on a date. Lee, Shino, and Choji were still not with anyone due to their more odd, or unattractive features. Once they got back the 11 others swept through the ranks becoming Chunin and soon to be Jounin while Naruto was left behind as a shadow. He wasn't even allowed to go the chunin exams right now because had no sensei since Guy, Kurenai, Asuma, and Kakashi were switched to a special squad division to join his "comrades".

After saying goodnight to Teuchi and Ayame at Ichiraku Ramen he returned to his apartment. Once he got there he found the same colorful words written on the wall like Die, Scum, Stain, Demon, Murderer, and Spawn of Hell.

Once in his now air conditioned "shack" he laid down on his couch and did something he never did. He cried, tears of sorrow. Remembering all the people who abandoned him like the Konoha 11, Kakashi, even Jaraiya, and Tsunade. He remembered the beatings and glares. The betrayal, and words thrown at him. The only people he had left were Ibiki Morino, Anko Mitarishi, Izumo, and Kotetsu. Also he had Teuchi, Ayame, Lee, Hinata, Sakura, Udon , Moegi, and Konohomaru. Everyone else turned a blind eye to how he was being treated and he eventually cried himself to sleep thinking about these things.

Unknown Location

The palace like structure was godly, and held a majestic aura. The entire structure from a bird's eye view was shaped like a pentagon. It was atop a mountain hidden in the clouds, so you could look down and see the endless forest surrounding it.

"This boy does not deserve this kind of life." Spoke a voice "He has the potential to become as powerful as him. Those lowly ninja don't deserve to be graced with his kindness."

"If only they knew of the power he held." Said a feminine voice. "Then they would respect him and treat him like he should be treated."

"But would that be for the best." Replied another. "If they did know from the beginning, he would be a pampered and spoiled brat; one not worthy of coming here, to this place."

"Ah but then he wouldn't have had to experience all of the horrors he HAS been through." Chipped in the first again.

"No matter it is time to act don't you all agree. That boy has suffered enough and I believe that master and his paths would agree." Called a fourth voice

"HAHA! About time we got moving onto something exciting! Wooooohooooo! It's time to have FUN! Let's go you lazy bums!" At that the five figures disappeared in Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Lightning.

Well these first few chapters are based a bit off of Rise of The Shredder, Scion of the Tribunal. But trust me COMPLETELY different plot. In this Are the elements, the Bijuu and Jinchuuriki, the paths, and a special sennin we all know and love.
