Naruto : Fukusuugyoumu

Thank you for the reviews! I've tried to complete this chapter as fast as possible, sorry if it was a little slow. I really wanted to finish it today, so there can be a lot of mistakes in it. Sorry!

As for the meaning of the title, I think some of you have translated it already (Multi-Tasking) and the reason will be explained through the chapters. The first hint is already given in the previous one.

For your info, what I'm telling you in this fic doesn't always need to be the same in the real Naruto, it can be wrong too. I'll try not to contradict myself like I think the Anime did, with Wave and Snow country, first they say Hyouton is a bloodline and Haku is the last user, then you see all kind of guys using it in Snow country. If you ever see me contradict myself, please tell me.

"Speaking" 'Thinking' Reading Jutsu / Seal [ More possible later, will be told if needed ]

Act 2 : "Being hated"

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

"SASUKE-KUN~!" A high-pitched scream sounded through Konoha, immediately followed by a crashing sound. Curses could be heard and if anyone could have known who was cursing, or rather the age of said person, they would probably want to have a talk with his or her parents, his in this case. No one this young should know these kinds of words. But, then again, no one should know the loneliness he knows either.

Naruto stopped cursing and came to the conclusion that, if this happened every day, he wouldn't ever need to buy an alarm-clock. 'Maybe I should be thankful for that… I should see the positives before I try to see the negatives. Naah, I'm going to put the owner of that voice on the 'Avoid-at-all-costs list'. I will, with no doubt, always be able to recognize that voice, so a name is not needed. I think everyone can remember that one though. He/She shouldn't ever become a ninja either!'

Naruto got up and went to the kitchen to get some food. During the last year, he'd started to make his own little garden where he let the ingredients grow for his dinner, while he would exchange bread and some other food for money with the Ichiraku's. This way, he wouldn't be overcharged too much. Yeah, not too much, he gave the Ichiraku's a little more for their help, even though they said they didn't need/want it. But they helped him, so he helped them. Something for something else…

'Finally! They stopped screaming! Who is that Sasuke-guy? Don't really care actually…', Naruto thought before he took out the scroll of the certain 'N.M.'.

'Hmm, 'Basic training program for genin to ANBU. Requirements: Very determined user because of hard training and the ability to use chakra.' The first thing I have, but I can't even use my chakra; It would probably be best for me to first read the chakra control scroll, maybe it has the beginnings of chakra usage too.'

Opening the chakra control scroll, Naruto reads:

'Before you begin with the usage of chakra, including control, you should first know what chakra is. Chakra is an energy running through creatures, though we're only focusing on the human part. Chakra is used for jutsu and other kind of techniques. Humans control chakra using hand seals, though without is also possible. Nearly every ninja can for example walk on a tree without the use of hands after they have trained. It means that the body has gotten used to using the chakra in such a way. Chakra is a mix of Yin and Yang: Yin is Spiritual Energy, you gain it by using a technique over and over. Yang is Physical Energy, you gain it by doing a lot of exercises. Molding chakra can be done using the 'ram' seal. Please try to mold some chakra.'

Just like the day before in the library, Naruto becomes very excited. But he knows, if he shows his skills (if he gains any) in Konoha, that the villagers council immediately would demand that he'll be killed, saying that the demon took over, or they would want him to become a weapon for the village. 'Why are they calling me demon anyway?', thought Naruto, while his excitement decreased due his thoughts.

Still, he wanted to try and mold chakra, so Naruto took his scrolls and got out of the house, walked through the streets, in which far away still clouds of dust from running fan-girls could be seen, before he got to a hole in the wall.

He'd found it once during his 'less pleasurable' walks through Konoha. It was a little hole, easily overlookable, but because of that it was perfect for him. If he wanted to get out of Konoha now, for example during his birthday, he would just go through the hole and stay for a little while in the forest.

Normally he would just jog a little or something, but now he had a 'mission'. Running through the forest until he was a good 6 miles from Konoha, Naruto sat down in a meditation pose. Putting his hands in the hand seal for 'ram' like he read from the scroll, Naruto tried to mold chakra. Soon he could feel the energy-rush inside of him, but he wasn't the only one who could feel it. Everyone in Konoha could feel the grand rush of power, it even ravaged the grass around Naruto, so it wasn't that strange. Sure, it was just Genin level, but the source seemed to be outside of Konoha, it could be weakened because of the distance. So, several ANBU went outside to check upon the case.

Naruto himself on the same time just met the number one horror (/mistake) of nature.

"YOSH~, YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH BURN BRIGHTLY, FOR SOMEONE SO YOUNG TO BE MOLDING CHAKRA! LET ME GIVE YOU A YOUTHFUL EMBRACE TO SHOW OTHERS OUR YOUTHFULNESS!" before Naruto stood a spandex-wearing guy with bowl cut hair. He stood in a hug-ready position, teeth sprinkling, while a Genjutsu of a sunset with waves crashing against a coast seemed to be casted behind him. Overall, it looked PLAIN EVIL! So, as every person with common sense would do, Naruto ran away as fast as he could, luckily not forgetting his scrolls. By time ANBU came at the location, all they could see was a spandex-wearing guy standing in a hug above ravaged grass, while some strange evil Genjutsu could be seen behind him. 'I don't think I want to know what happened here…', most ANBU thought, sweat drops forming on there heads…

- - - - - -

Naruto, on the same time, was looking for another good place to practice, as the first one was where he met a very interesting person… 'Okay, that just became the number one on my 'Avoid-at-all-costs list', banshee be damned, she's two. Banshee's are evil, but what I just saw was much more evil!' When he finally found a new place, Naruto continued.

Seeing that he already was able to mold chakra, he stopped using the chakra-control scroll for now and continued with the one from 'N.M.'. In it, he read that he should use the three seals for training. Each of them had their own benefit, Naruto saw.

"Omori: The weight seal. By placing it on an object you can make an object heavier. It happens in levels, each level heightens the weight with 25 pounds. There are three special hand seals which can be used, namely the following: ', Naruto read, before he looked at the three hand seals. They interested Naruto. 'One-handed seals? Is such a thing possible? If so, why don't I see people using them? You would be able to use both a sword and your jutsu…' Naruto placed his thoughts on his on-hold list, he would think about it later. After practicing them for a little while, he continues with reading.

"The first hand seal increases the level of the seal by one, the second lowers the level by one and the third totally decreases the level to zero. The actual use of this seal for training is that your body gets used to moving with great weights attached to it, so your muscles grow faster and you'll be able to withstand more pressure." 'That looks interesting!' "Horuda no Chakra: The Holder of chakra seal. This seal can be placed on humans. As soon as it is placed, it can seal of 25 percent of said humans chakra and can take 5 percent of chakra every hour to seal into the seal. Just like the Omori, this seal has levels too. Each level increases the sealed chakra with 5 percent and the hour-taken chakra with one. These will benefit greatly for your chakra capacity and your chakra refilling speed. The maximum level is 10, to cover up for possible live-threatening side-effects, for example chakra depletion." 'Another useful thing... Well, the seal at least, I could do without the possibility to die because of it.'

"Gentei: The Restriction seal. This seal increases the air resistance around the object / human it's used on, in a way restricting it. Just like the other two seals, it works with levels. Each level increases the air resistance with ten times. The hand seals are the same as they were for the other two seals. This seal covers the weak points of the Omori seal. The Omori helps you to get stronger, but it doesn't really increase the speed very much. Granted, it does help, but if you're, for example, continuously hitting a log, using the Gentei seal to get a very high air resistance would help you more than the Omori seal." 'I see, that would indeed help, though I wonder how I can apply a seal.', Naruto thought, before he continued reading aloud.

"The seals can be drawn as a tattoo on someone's body, so you can use them when training. They have to be placed at an accessible place for at least one of your hands…" 'Hmm, why?' "… which is pretty reasonable, because otherwise you wouldn't be able to increase or decrease them." 'Oh yeah, that was pretty stupid of me…', Naruto thought, mentally hitting himself. 'But I can't make tattoos, so I should go to someone who can. When he asks what the symbols mean, I'll just tell some lie. I better do so tomorrow morning.'

Deciding to just learn the Henge and some basic Taijutus for now, Naruto starts to train for the rest of the day. Henge was actually not that hard, he just had to try a lot of times to get the chakra amount right. For Taijutsu he trained in the Basic Academy Style, which isn't really useful, but it at least gives you the basics. By the time he was done with the second kata, it was already time for diner, so Naruto went home to cook. Happy with his improvements from today, he eats and falls into a blissful sleep.

- - - - - -

It has been one year since Naruto started to train on his own. By now he'd started to grow a little more, though he was still kind of little for his age. During this year, he had a lot of fun. The first time was when his Tattoos were done.

Furasshubakku (Flashback)

'Why would such a young child want tattoos?', an aged man thought, while he was counting the money he got from said young child. 'Oh well, he pays!'

Naruto on the same time really wanted to test his seals, so he immediately started with them. First, he activated the Horuda no Chakra. He felt a little strange, but thought nothing of it. Then, he decided to activate the Gentei. Again, felt a little strange, but thought nothing of it.

While he was doing this, the aged man was eyeing him, trying to find out the purpose of the seal-like tattoos. The first two seals didn't seem to do anything. When it came to the third however, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

As soon as Naruto had activated the seal, he had fallen face first to the ground. 'Now that I think of it, I'm only 60 pounds, so I just added nearly half my weight to it, it's normal my muscles can't take it… Aww I probably look really stupid right now.', Naruto thought. And he did, if the old man laughing his ass off in the background was any indication.

Furasshubakku ate (Flashback end)

The second time was during his training. He had several encounters which really helped him with his weight seal.

Furasshubakku (Flashback)

"HELLO MY YOUTFUL FRIEND! I SEE YOU ARE TRAINING AGAIN. IT IS VERY GOOD FOR YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH TO BE RUNNING LAPS ARROUND KONOHA! IF I CAN'T SHOW THE SAME KIND OF YOUTHFULNESS I WILL RUN 100 TIMES ARROUND KONOHA ONLY USING MY HANDS!", the man, who Naruto had got to know as Might Gai, exclaimed, while slowly but surely the famed Genjutsu, which even Kurenai Yuuhi as famed Genjutsu Mistress couldn't dispel, started to form.

Horrified from the sight, Naruto started running at unbelievable speeds just to get away from Gai, totally forgetting that he was running with a level 4 seal. Actually, the moment Gai decided to scream about the flames of youth, Naruto just had his hand above the Omori seal in the increase-level hand seal. From pure shock and horror, Naruto accidently started to flare several spikes of chakra, while moving his hand up and down. So, he accidentally increased the Omori level with three. Still struck by horror about Gai, he'd started to run, without feeling anything from the Omori seal and by the time he finally calmed down, his body was already used to the level.

Furasshubakku ate (Flashback end)

Naruto really liked to think about funny times, even if they were about himself. They could help feel him a little better and that was something he really needed. Even though his resolve was maybe strong, he was still very lonely. Even though Gai was very scary, it still felt kind of nice to have someone care about you, though Naruto rather had another kind of caring.

Today was the kind of day Naruto felt extra lonely. Today was his birthday; he became six years old today. Soon he was going to confront the old man to accept him in the academy so Naruto could be trained further into the Ninja arts.

But today none of that, Naruto was thinking more about how it would be to have parents on your birthday. He had observed others on their birthday and from what he could see, for most of them it was a very enjoyable day. If he was honest with himself, Naruto was kind of jealous. For him his birthday wasn't a enjoyable one, for the villagers would glare more at him, some would even try something during their drunken slumber. It certainly wasn't enjoyable.

The whole day had a gloomy atmosphere around it, mainly because of the rain and the memorial for the shinobi who died during their fight with the Kyuubi. Though, if Naruto was honest, the only reason the day was gloomy for him was due the rain, because he wasn't allowed to take place in the memorial. He wasn't there, so he didn't become gloomy because of it.

In fact, he was training for the whole day in the woods. His training was going pretty good and Naruto was kind of proud of himself. The years before he would've staid in the village, because Sarutobi would occasionally go with him on a stroll, but, seeing the happenings of previous year, Naruto had decided against that and trained the whole day. Seeing as the sun was about to set, Naruto returned to his home. At home he took some instant ramen to eat, too tired to make an actual meal, and slipped into his bed, falling into a restless sleep.

- - - - - -

Several miles away a group of villagers and shinobi alike were getting very drunk, celebrating the soon-to-be death of the Kyuubi. They had come together some nights ago to talk about a assassination attempt, the last one they would probably be able to perform. They knew Naruto would soon get into the academy and if he would, he would be able to defend himself better than before. Nobody really wanted to take a risk, but luckily Danzo was very helpful, he even provided them with a Root ANBU to have him increase the success rate of the assassination.

The villagers would set Naruto's apartment on fire, then the ANBU would use a wind style jutsu to increase the fire, so Naruto would be burned alive. It was easy, but still good. The performers would leave the scene as fast as possible, to not be caught by the Hokage.

"The demon has entered his home and he has falling asleep. Operation start!", one of the leaders of the mob whispered to the other members. They really wanted to get done as soon as possible, so they wouldn't have the demon anymore. They all took off to the apartment with lots of oil and other fire-improving materials. After having placed those in the apartment one of the leaders decided to just finish it: He threw a burning torch in the oil and soon the apartment had caught on fire. Then the Root ANBU arrived and performed the wind style jutsu so the whole apartment was just one big blazing fire.

- - - - - -

Meanwhile, in the apartment, Naruto had woken up due to the high heat of flames, before a big gust of wind washed over him and the flames, increasing the flames until there were only blazing white colored flames and Naruto felt like he was being burned to death, which he actually nearly was.

- - - - - -

Outside, Sarutobi and several ANBU had arrived, worried about the fire. They were just in time to see the Root ANBU use the wind style jutsu to increase the fire.

"NARUTO!", the old Hokage screamed. "Please be okay!" He then told several ANBU to take care of the villagers and the Root ANBU alike and take them to Ibiki. He would try to save Naruto. The old man then tried to stop the fire by using a water style jutsu, which didn't seem to work, as the water only became very hot water.

- - - - - -

Naruto couldn't take it anymore. He was already nearly losing consciousness due the fire, but with the very hot water he lost it.

When he opened his eyes again, everything was black. He couldn't see anything.

"PEOPLE HATE YOU THROUGH ME!", boomed a voice through the dark. Naruto immediately turned around, just in time to see a lit up kanji for 'Fire', before it was dark again. Naruto was immediately scared. He'd never heard such a scary voice and what was being said didn't really help either.

"PEOPLE INCREASE OTHERS HATRED FOR YOU THROUGH ME!", boomed another voice. This time Naruto looked in time to see a kanji for 'Wind' lit up, before it became dark yet again. 'Being hated even more!', Naruto thought, tears forming in his eyes.

"PEOPLE SHOW THEIR HATRED FOR YOU THROUG ME!", boomed yet another voice. A kanji for 'Water' could be seen now. Now Naruto couldn't take it anymore, he started sobbing.

The voices now started to boom together. "HATED, HATED, HATED, HATED" They continued booming their 'song'. After ten minutes of crying and booming, the three voices asked together. "WILL YOU DIE THROUGH US?" Naruto didn't know what to do. Why should he live if everyone hated him. Why should he continue living this hell-life if he still didn't have his own dream? Should he continue?

"..a..uto.", could be heard very faintly. "Na..uto." now. "NARUTO!", this time it sounded very clear. Naruto could hear the concern flowing through the voice of his old man, the same old man he hadn't seen for almost a year. 'Not everyone hates me! I should still live, so I can make more people care about me!', Naruto thought, finally having an idea in which region he should look for his dream.

"NO!", he screamed back to the voices. "I won't die through you and I'll find people who can care about me!" "Very well. Then you will live.", two very relaxing voices said behind Naruto. Spinning around yet again, Naruto could see the kanji's for 'Blaze' and 'Boil', before they too phased out of existence.

Naruto felt in unconscious state again.

Act 2 : [ End ]

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Mysterious, hmm? Well it's something about his bloodline again, please use your imagination, it's actually pretty easy. Hehe… That last sentence was pretty strange, sorry. I just don't really know how I should tell that his vision stopped.

I just came to the conclusion that the scenes with Gai were pretty cruel for a 5 year old child to witness. Imagine it yourself! I myself had running shivers down my spine while writing them…

Another thing I noticed about myself, I really have something with sleep as an ending, I hope some of the more experienced writers with you can give me tips for stuff like that… Please.

Can you also point out grammer/etc. faults out to me? If you do, I can learn from them and change them. Thank you in advance.

Review etc. please too.
