As with all fan fiction writers I do not Naruto or any of the material I try to pay homage to with my story.

Chapter 2 Awake
The Hokage entered the room where young Naruto slept. 'Ah, six years old just yesterday and already the village heaps such torment on him. Without his Kekkei genkai and the healing of the fox he would have been in this place for weeks' he thought to him self. 'And that's if he survived the poison' he contemplated darkly. Reaching out he then released the boy from the genjutsu that held him in slumber.
Yawning Naruto awakened and smiled as he saw the elder. "Hey jiji" he greeted then with a look around asked. "Where am I?"
"Well Naruto you are in the hospital. It seems some villagers beat you last night," the old man replied.
"Oh" the suddenly downcast boy said as he began to remember the previous day.
"Now Naruto I need to ask you has this happened before?" the Hokage asked.
With a sigh the boy responded, "Yes, about this time last year."
"I'm sorry Naruto, I failed to anticipate this level of threat from the villagers. I assure you it wont happen again as you will be receiving Anbu bodyguards," came the old man's response after a moment.
"Thanks jiji," Naruto said. " um I'm not sure if I was dreaming or not but I thought I heard you say you knew who my mother was," he continued.
With a sigh of his own the Hokage responded, "Yes Naruto I do, but for now the doctors say you are well enough to release so why don't you head home and get cleaned up. When you are done there com to the tower where we can safely discuss such matters as well as other matters that you need to know."
A growl sounded through the room. With a laugh the Hokage continued, "And perhaps you will want to eat first as well."
With an embarrassed grin Naruto nodded as he rapidly dressed in his orange jumpsuit. He then proceeded to head home for a shower and a clean undamaged outfit.
Starting a kettle to boiling he pulled out a cup of instant ramen. 'Don't have time for a full meal,' he thought to him self as he poured the water. 'I'll just have to stop by Ichiraku on the way back' his thoughts continued as he devoured the ramen almost before it was finished cooking.
That finished he proceeding to run to the tower to get answers to questions he had long been meaning to ask.
