Disclaimer: This is fiction of the fan variety; no money is made in its creation, the only thing gained in writing this is a not half-bad story. Kishimoto owns this stuff save my oc's (if he asked I'd give them to him)

"Fuinjutsu: Seal of the North Star" he said striking the snake soundly in the chest, causing the evil Sanin to cry out in pain.
"What did you do to me?" he cried out as the ice and wind all died down.
"I've sealed your chakra" Naruto grunted out. "Unless you can remove it, you will never be able to perform jutsu again; good luck snake, as I am the one who invented it you may have a few problems for a while."
Naruto then smiled at the Sanin's predicament before collapsing into a pool of blood, the wind died down and was silent.
"I will finish you, you evil creature!" Sarutobi cried out pissed as hell.
"Drop the barrier, we have failed, we leave now!" Orochimaru managed to say enduring the pain.
The four sound ninja quickly dropped it and grabbed their leader before fleeing at top speed.
"Ohh no you don't!" the Anbu said in quick pursuit.
"Sixth melody: flagona chela" said the female member playing a tune blasting them backwards long enough to escape.
"Damn it" said an Anbu as he helped the other two up.
"Naruto-kun!" cried Hinata and Hanabi as they ran to the blond.
"Ohh Kami no please" Hitomi cried out as she ran as well.
"Naruto-kun hold on" Sarutobi said as he too ran to help the boy, who was lying in an ever expanding poodle of blood…
…,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,...,..,,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,., (And now the story continues…)
"Hurry, get him in now!" cried out a nurse as a stretcher carrying a young leaf ninja whirls through the hallway of a hospital.
"We can't hold him much longer" a second one said as she attempted to reattach the I.V tube embedded in his left arm.
The two nurses rushed the boy into one of the emergency rooms as a small crowd followed up until they got to the door.
"Damn it, this wasn't supposed to happen" Sarutobi said as he hit the wall with his arm; "I should have been taken the damage, not Naruto."
"It proves how much he truly cared about you…Hokage-sama" Kakashi said lowering his head.
"The baka can't die, he just can't" Sakura said as she held back a tear.
Hitomi and her two daughters ran into the hall up to the others. "Where is he?" Hitomi asked/demanded as she tried to catch her breath.
"In there" Sasuke said pointing at the double door causing the hyuga Matriarch to head for the doors.
"You cannot enter" Sarutobi said standing in the way.
"Why do you stop me Sarutobi?" she asked as a tear dripped down her face.
"Leave the doctors to this, we would only hinder their work; and that's not something he needs right now" the old man said defeated.
Hinata slumped to the ground and started to cry "Naruto-kun, please!" she cried as her sister got teary eyed as well. "Is he going to die?" Hanabi asked causing Hitomi to face her.
"No…Naruto is too strong to just die" she said causing the group to face her.
"Umm, how do you know Naruto?" Kiba asked haphazardly; "I mean he is just a street kid that was until recently the weakest of our class."
"I'd watch how you talk about him" Shikamaru said backing away from him in case a fist or two was thrown.
…
…
…
Does a foot from Hinata count?
…
…
…
Everyone including Hitomi backed away a step or two as the quiet hyuga snapped.
"I'm tired of you insulting him!" she said very angrily as the poor kid tried to hide in the corner.
'Big sister is angry' Hanabi thought hiding behind her mother in a very un-hyuga way.
"How do you know my student?" Kakashi asked being the first one to recover.
"Because… I owe him, he saved my daughters and me" she said slowly causing several people to stare at her weird.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"You speak of the incident about eight years ago do you not?" Sarutobi asked.
"Yes… I can never repay him for what he did, nor can I ever apologize for what happened" she said lowering her head to prevent others from seeing her face.
"Wha…What happened mommy?" Hanabi asked Hitomi while grabbing onto her shirt.
"It's a long story sweetheart" she replied hugging her daughter. "And now I owe him again for saving you."
"He was really strong and cool" Hanabi said quietly in her ear causing Hitomi to smile just a little.
"Yes, he is isn't he," she replied to her.
Confused Sasuke turned to the hyuga matron (Keep in mind that hyuga and uchiha were in a very short and easy to understand way: not friends) and asked the woman "Naruto was about five then right? How could a five year old really help save people?"
Hitomi slowly turned her head to his direction "It's a long story."
"Perhaps you would tell us from your perspective what happened." Shino said startling people as he so enjoyed doing.
"I…I guess I should try at least…" Hitomi said slowly as she lifted up Hanabi and sat in a chair with the girl in her lap.
"It happened about eight years ago, back when… Hiashi… was still alive…"
….. (Flashback, warning it's a long one)
"Thank you for de noodles" a small child says as he leaves a small stand waving.
"You're welcome little man" Teuchi, the owner said with a smirk as he and his small daughter watched the boy run off into the distance.
"He was really hungry" Ayame, his daughter said collecting the three bowls Naruto had used.
'Poor kid… probably hadn't eaten in who knows how long" Teuchi said to himself as he returned to his large pot.
Meanwhile Naruto; quickly dodging people, made his way to the park, one of his favorite places.
'Maybe I can find more shiny ninja stuff' the boy told himself thinking on all the weapons and items he had collected in the last few weeks.'
As he neared the park entrance he saw several kids playing with each other. 'I shouldn't get close' Naruto thought sadly 'their mommies and daddies wouldn't like it.'
And so the blond headed child went off into a darker area that very few people; save ninja, went.
"I can't wait to see what I can finds to today" the strangely optimistic child said as he made it to the small hidden field. 'Ok time to start the hunt' Naruto thought with a smirk 'if I get enough, maybe I can be a good ninja, and I cans sell the ones I don't need for moneys to buys food.'
… (About an hour later)(Warning, till I say it's rated R)
'Wow, I found some really cool stuff' the amazed boy thought as he dropped a few items he had found into the pile in the bush: A pair of gloves, a bladed pole, a nunchuk, a giant shiriken, a standard grade weapon holster, a set of senbom someone had only used a couple out of, and about 20 meters of wire all still on the spool. 'Some people are wasteful' Naruto thought as he shook his face to his own comment as if to agree with himself.
As the boy began putting the pile of stuff in an old bag he found with holes in it he heard a strange sound 'someone is coming, I need to hides' the boy panicked before remembering he was in a bush. 'Ohh I forgots, I'm already hiding, I'll just be quiet' he thought as he lowered himself down low to the ground. (mimicking a ninja he once saw)
A minute or two later several figures came into view; on closer look from Naruto he saw a woman holding a child and a small girl being forced along by several men, men that didn't look like nice men.
"Heh easy prey" the first one said knocking the little girl into the woman with a push.
"I know, right?" the second said.
"All we gotta do is get these three to kumo and we shall be rewarded" the third said with a smirk.
"Ha, I bet they will scream for more by the time we get through with them" the fourth said with a leer.
"Dude, you want the little one, she's like two or something" the second asked.
"Heh bet I can get it to fit" the fourth said with an evil grin "decides, she can be raised as a personal little play thing.
All four laughed at this comment while the woman and two small girls were knocked to the ground.
"Should we knock the other kid out like we did the first one to prevent any problems?" the third said glaring at the girl causing her to become very afraid.
"I say we claim some ass right here and now" the fourth said pulling out a kunai.
"Please don't hurt my daughters!" the woman said as she held the smaller one closer and tried to reach for the other girl.
The second one knocked the girl out and the other three closed in on the trio.
'Those guys are going to hurt them, I…I have to help dem' Naruto quickly grabbed a pair of treasures from his shirt that he had found in earlier raids on the practice field; a smoke bomb and a flash bomb.
'Ok, here it goes!' Naruto decided chucking them at the men and girls blinding and covering the field.
"What the fuck is happening!" one of them said as he hit the ground from the blinding flash that had occurred.
"We're being attacked" another said reaching out for no apparent reason.
'Move quick, like a ninja!' Naruto charged into the mess and grabbed both the older woman and the older of the two girls hand and pulled them out of the mess.
"Where are the hostages!" a voice was heard from the cloud of smoke.
"Get them now!" another said as stumbling was heard.
"Hurry, run away!" Naruto said to the woman trying to hand her the older girl.
The woman, now eyes open nodded very quickly, grabbed her other daughter, and ran to get them to safety.
Naruto, realizing that the bad guys would soon be free quickly grabbed a bunch of kunai and started throwing them in the cloud in an attempt to stall for time…
… (With the woman)
'Run, run, hurry' were the only thoughts running through the young woman's head as she used every last bit of strength she had for getting her daughters to safety.
She soon came to a clearing which lead right past, believe it or not, the Hokage himself.
"Wha? What is going on Hitomi-san?" the old man said alarmed at the fact that three hyuga women had just come flying out of the forest.
"Sa-ru-tobi" she said hitting the ground.
"Calm down Hitomi, what's going on?" he asked as he gently set her down.
"Kumo… tried to-kidnap me and my daughters" she said causing him to become very angry.
"Kuso, stupid fools, I will deal with this myself, where are they?" he asked as he stood up.
That way, in-the forest, there are four of them (gasp, gasp) a boy saved us… Ohh no the boy!" she said as she tried to stand.
"stay down, what boy?" the old man asked.
"A boy rescued us (gasp) he stayed behind to stop them, hurry before they kill him!" she exclaimed.
"What did he look like?" Sarutobi asked.
"Ba-blond hair, and some scar-things on his face" she said causing the old veteran to go stark white.
"Naruto!" he growled before heading off in the direction she spoke of.
As he ran a loud explosion was heard…
… (The forest…)
The old man ran as fast as he could, in his run he found a lone kumo ninja, barely able to move.
The hokage quickly moved to kill the ninja, just as he was about to the kumo ninja fell and didn't get up again.
"Dead?" the old man pondered quickly before continuing on.
…
…
He was rewarded with a grizzly surprise.
Two kumo ninja, most odiously dead with a third one injured and on the ground; a few meters away lay the boy…on his chest…unmoving.
"Naruto!" the old man cried as he ran up to him.
"Wha…what kind of village gives that much weaponry to a kid?" the injured ninja said coughing "When we finally got him he detonated several fucking paper bombs."
"Naruto, come on speak to me" Sarutobi slowly and gently turned the boy on his back.
"Ji…ji?" Naruto slowly said as blood flowed from a gash on his head.
"Naruto, hang on, we're going to the hospital" Sarutobi said as he shunsined out of the forest with Naruto, leaving a clone to deal with the remaining enemy.
… (At the hospital)
"Ho-Hokage-sama!" said the receptionist as the old man came in with a child in his arms.
"This child needs medical treatment!" the hokage said "I don't want to hear any bullshit just get him in now!" he said making her jump before she grabbed him and brought the boy to the emergency room.
'Always got to have a bigot around don't we?' the old man rolled his eyes then went to the door to the room Naruto was in and stood there.
… (About an hour later)
"Well?" Sarutobi asked as a doctor left the room.
"He shall be fine, lost a decent amount of blood and has a concussion, but he should feel fine with some rest" the doctor then left allowing Sarutobi into the room.
"Naruto… are you awake" the old man asked quietly.
"Yah jiji…I'm fine" he replied causing the old man to relax a bit; "are those people safe?" the boy asked.
"Yes they are fine, they have since returned home." The Hokage said making Naruto smile a little, granted a pained smile.
Then suddenly Naruto's eyes went wide.
"Jiji, hurry go save them!" Naruto said trying to climb out of bed causing the old man to push him back down.
"What are you talking about, I just said they went home; they are safe" the puzzled old man said.
"I…I heard the bad guys talking; the guy that helped them get dem was the boss of the hyugas, they called him Hiashi" Naruto said coughing which made Sarutobi's eyes go wide.
"He…he sold out his own wife?" he said out loud making Naruto cringe.
"Hurry before he hurts dem again" Naruto said as the old man got up and went for the hyuga complex.
"Hiashi… What are you doing?"
