A/N shoutout to thedevilsangel my first reviewer. Also my Naruto is different than canon because of the circumstances. I feel that a Naruto raised by Kakashi would act differently than canon Naruto.
It had been 3 months since he had adopted Naruto, and Kakashi was loving every minute of it. Well except the diaper changing, but who really liked that part. Suprisingly the shinobi side were really supportive, especially the ino-shika-cho trio, and the Hyugas.
The mothers helped him with the accursed diaper changing. They said he would get used to it, but he highly doubted had dropped in whenever he could. He could tell that the old man loved Naruto with all his heart.

3 years had passed and Naruto was 3 years old now. Jiraya had found that Naruto was research gold. He would send Naruto into the Hot springs, and he would come looking for his Godson. He would retrieve him but not after sneaking looks at the woman. He did this several times until Kurenai saw him go into the Hot springs and became suspicious. She followed him in and saw him retrieve Naruto. She watched him repeat this several times and knew these weren't accidents.
The women in the springs were getting just as suspicious. When Jiraya did this for the fourteenth time that day. Kurenai and the woman decided to beat up Jiraya. To make it worse Naruto joined in, and the women cheered him on. For such a good beating they bought Naruto a balloon, and some ice cream.
Kakashi was just enjoying a cup of coffee, and reading Jiraya's newest book, Icha Icha Makeout Paradise. When he heard footsteps echo throughout the house. He looked and saw a severely beaten Jiraya with a beaming Naruto who was holding a green balloon, and eating his ice cream.
"I'm not even going to ask" Kakashi said and went back to reading his book. A resounding thud could be heard throughout the house.

Naruto was now 5, and after pestering Kakashi and Jiraya they finally decided to begin training him. The first thing they focused on was conditioning. Jiraya applied weight seals on Naruto. There were 10 levels on the beginner weight seals.
They started him on level 1, then had him run 2 laps around Konoha as warm-up. Then he did 100 push ups and sit ups. After that Kakashi then worked with him on taijutsu, and chakra control exercises. Jiraya then worked with him on fuinjutsu, and meditation. Jiraya said that the meditation would help him later in life.
Two months had passed and Naruto was now level 3 on the weight seals. His taijutsu was High genin level. He was a level 2 seal master and could make storage seals, and explosive tags.
Despite all the training, Naruto was still very social. He struck up strong friendships with Shikamaru Nara, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Hinata Hyuga, and Neji Hyuga.
Naruto had weekly shogi games with Shikamaru, which Shikamaru usually won. Shikamaru liked him, but he could caught muttering troublesome blondes once in a while.
Naruto easily got along with Choji, they bonded over their love of food. They even had eat offs, which soon had to be restricted to twice a month or the respective parents would have faced bankruptcy.
Naruto and Ino's friendship was instigated by the Yamanaka heiress. Naruto and Kakashi were at the park one day. Naruto was playing by himself on the grass. When Inoichi and his wife with Ino in tow came to the park. Kakashi struck up a conversation with the Yamanakas, and Ino ran off to go play with the blonde boy on the grass.
The young Yamanaka said to the blond boy "My name is Ino Yamanaka, and I want you to play with me!"
Naruto looked up at the girl with platinum blonde hair, with sparkly blue eyes, who was wearing a purple dress and replied "My name is Naruto Hatake and I'm going to be the greatest ninja to ever live!"
"Whatever" she said "do you want to play or not?"
"Sure." The children played till Naruto and Kakashi had to go. Naruto thought she was pretty but was kind of bossy.
One event that made them go closer was, one day Ino brought this girl with pink hair to come play with them.
"Hey Naruto, this is my new friend named Sakura"
"Hi I'm Naruto" Naruto went to shake her hand but Sakura moved away in disgust.
"My mom said I shouldn't be seen near you, and that I should stay away from you. She says you're a monster." Sakura said.
Ino could see that Naruto was about to cry so she quickly reprimanded her new friend and said "How could you say that Sakura, I don't want to play with you anymore, and I won't play with you again until you apologize to Naruto."
"How can you choose that monster over me!"
"Go Away!" Ino screamed. Sakura quickly ran away.
"You know you didn't have to do that Ino-chan" Naruto said.
"Hey that's what friends are for" she replied.
A couple days later Sakura came and apologized to Naruto. Ino found the apology adequate and began to play with her again. Naruto noticed that Sakura still avoided him as much as possible, but he shrugged it off.
Naruto had a very good relationship with the Hyugas. Hiashi always invited Naruto to their compound, and he played with the Hyuga children. He got especially close to Hinata and Neji. Naruto was really protective of Hinata and always looked after her. He saw her as a sister. He just didn't understand why she would always turn red especially when he was around. It was happening less often but it still bugged him.
Hinata admired Naruto very much. To her Naruto was someone to strive to be like. She had a major crush on him that was based on the fact that he was really nice to her and protective. Her crush was obvious to everyone but Naruto. Hiashi also encouraged the crush. Subtlety of course.
Naruto and Neji's relationship was a friendly rivalry. Neji saw Naruto training one day and asked Naruto to fight him. It was a hard battle but Naruto barely won. Neji was surprised he lost, especially to someone younger than him.
He had never lost a fight before, so this was a first. They soon had weekly sparring matches. They were about equal in skill. They had mutual respect for each other. Naruto also thought his father Hizashi was very kind.
Naruto and Kakashi were walking through the village towards the Hokage tower when they ran into Uchiha. The Uchiha were Fugaku and his son Sasuke.
"Hello Hatake" Fugaku said
"Fugaku-san." Kakashi replied.
The men began to talk and the little boys had their own conversation.
"Hi I'm Naruto Hatake and I'm going to be the greatest ninja ever." Naruto said happily.
Sasuke scoffed and said "the greatest ninja role is something that only an Uchiha can hold." Sasuke replied.
"Anyone can be the greatest, all our Hokages were powerful but none were Uchiha."
Sasuke got a tic mark "whatever the Uchiha are still the greatest clan in the world." Sasuke said arrogantly.
"What about the Senju?"
"Gah! do you ever shut up."
"I do when stupid Uchiha stop talking"
"At least I'm from a well known clan, not a no name clan like the Hatake!"
"At least we Hatake have some skill!"
"Fight me right now Hatake!"
"I'd be happy to mop the floor with you Uchiha!"
The two boys began to glare at each other. Their Fathers had been very amused but they spoke up before it could get out of hand.
"Now Sasuke it's not becoming of an Uchiha to get into a street brawl."
"I agree with Uchiua-san you shouldn't be getting into street fights." Kakashi said. "Anyway we have a meeting with Hokage-sama, and we can't be late."
"Goodbye teme" Naruto said
"Goodbye Baka" Sasuke replied.
The duo kept walking towards the Hokage tower. They were about to enter when they were stopped by a cold mocking voice.
"Kakashi Hatake, and his little boy Naruto" the voice said.
"Danzo" Kakashi said with gritted teeth as he recognized who was speaking.
Naruto didn't know who this old man was, but his father didn't like him so he automatically disliked him too.
"You know I still don't understand why Hiruzen let you take Naruto 5 years ago" Danzo paused. "I'm not sure if you're mentally stable enough, we wouldn't want you to go and do suicide and leave young Naruto without a father"
Kakashi didn't miss the dig at his father, and began to get very angry. Naruto didn't understand what This Danzo guy meant by that comment, but he could see it made his father very upset.
So he yelled "Listen here you old geezer! I don't know what you're playing at, but you should show some respect, when talking to the father of the future Hokage and future most powerful Ninja ever."
Danzo coolly replied "Hatake you should teach your son some manners, if he doesn't watch his mouth who knows what might happen to him."
Kakashi flinched then said "Naruto can you go meet jiji before me."
Naruto nodded his head. He then ran up the stairs to the Hokage's office. When he knew that Naruto was gone Kakashi said "Now listen here Danzo if you hurt one hair on Naruto's head I'll make sure you never see the light of day again"
"Be careful Hatake those types of threats could get you in trouble one day" Danzo drawled then turned around and walked away.
Kakashi cursed Danzo under his breath.
Kakashi came up the stairs and found Naruto the Hokage's Secretary. "Naruto what's going on here?" "She won't let me go see jiji" Naruto said. "She said that she wouldn't let a demon go see the Hokage."
"Is that true?" Kakashi while releasing a large amount of killing intent.
"No I never said that" the secretary choked out.
The killing intent tripled "are you calling my son a liar?" Kakashi asked.
"The Demon isn't even your son, do us all a favor and kill him before he attacks us again!"
The secretary screeched. "Naruto can you go to the office please." Naruto had never seen his father this angry. He scurried into the room.
Naruto was having a conversation with the Hokage about Kakashi not letting him work on Ninjutsu. When Kakashi walked into the room. Kakashi was humming slightly and seemed pretty happy.
"So Kakashi what did you want talk to me about?" The third asked.
"I'm wondering if you think Naruto is ready to start ninjutsu training."
"The Uchiha start training their kids about Naruto's age, and Naruto has far greater chakra reserves than all kids his age, so I don't see why not. I feel that he's mature enough to handle it."
"Thanks for the advice Hiruzen."
Naruto couldn't believe his luck, he was going to learn Ninjutsu. He was so happy he felt like screaming.
"Well we're leaving" Kakashi said.
"Bye jiji!" Naruto said.
Kakashi and Naruto then shunshined away.
'I wonder why they didn't walk away.' Hiruzen thought. He got up and left the room and found his answer. His secretary was laying on the floor dead. He sighed and said "That's the fourth one this month."
"Alright Naruto channel your chakra in to the this paper, so we can find out your affinity" Kakashi instructed.
Naruto did what they said and the paper split in three. One slip crumpled, another went on fire, and the last one crumbled.
"Wow Gaki 4 of them. That's very impressive" Jiraya remarked.
"You can't expect anything less from the greatest ninja of all time." Naruto boasted.
"You're not there yet, but if you keep improving the way you are, you will be in no time." Jiraya replied.
"you really think so?"
"I know so your training is going to get more intense. Kakashi will work with you on Raiton, and Futon Justus. I can help with Katon, and Doton." Naruto nodded his head. "Now let's get to it.
The weeks of training were hell. They upped the intensity on everything. After training he could barely stand up. His friends were beginning to notice effects had on me. But i knew it was worth it and I pushed myself harder than what was required. I knew I needed to become strong. So I stuck with and I've improved considerably. I'm now one step closer to becoming the greatest ninja of all time.
A/N don't expect updates to be as frequent. Also at the end there I switched to first person. I hope you liked how I portrayed the characters. Come to think of it my Naruto is pretty similar to Canon. Anyway the next chapter is about the academy. And yeah the meditation thing is referencing senjutsu, and when he meets that Kyubbi. Well see ya I'm out.
