Naruto was having the best sleep of his life. He could finally relax not having to worry if someone was going to break into his apartment and try to kill him. Slowly the sun rose and shined in through the window landing on his face. He slowly opened his eyes from the warm sensation. When he finally sat himself up in bed he looked around and smiled to himself. He was finally home. Home… he never thought he would have that and if felt DAMN good.
He walked through the mansion to see if he could find any clothes that would fit him. After an hour he found 20 sets of clothes from various rooms. He went back to the master bedroom and put the clothes on the bed and headed for the bathroom. He turned on the water to the shower and started scrubbing fast before the water went off but then he remembered that he wasn't in his old apartment where that old bitch of a land lady had timed his showers and took his time feeling the warmth of the water on his skin. After about 20 minutes he finished and took his towel and walked back to the bedroom.
After getting dressed he headed downstairs to the kitchen. He looked around but didn't spot any food. He could have sworn Kyuubi told him that there was food here.
He opened his mind link with her and called to her 'Kyuu-chan' he tried again after no response 'Kyuu-chan you there?'
He was about to try again but finally got a response 'Huh Naru-kun? What are you doing up so early?'
Naruto shook his head and thought 'The sun has been up for over an hour now Kyuu-chan and I wanted to get started on my training as soon as possible. Anyways do you know where Okaa-san said the food was because I don't see any?'
Kyuubi slowly stretched herself awake and remembered what Kushina had said 'I remember now. She said that the food was stored in seals in the pantry room in the room next to the kitchen. Just apply a small bit of chakra to the seals and take what you want to eat' Naruto thanked her and walked to the room.
As he walked inside he noticed various labels for things like apples and bread and even things like milk. 'These must be some seals to keep things like milk preserved' he thought. As he was about to apply a small amount of chakra to various seals he quickly remembered an important detail. Laughing nervously he opened his connection to Kyuubi and said 'Um Kyuubi? I just remembered I haven't accessed my chakra yet.'
Kyuubi's eyes widened as she blushed in embarrassment as she too had forgotten that. Laughing nervously as well she replied 'Well I guess the first thing is to unlock your chakra.'
After he went out back he found what looks like a training ground that would need to be cleaned up but for now he decided to start his training. Naruto gave her a mental nod when he was ready and she started 'To start sit down and close your eyes. Look deep into yourself till you find something warm and grab onto it and don't let go. Pull it to yourself and make it part of you.'
Naruto did as told and after about 10 minutes he found it. He grabbed it and pulled it to him. It was so warm and he felt the power running through him. He opened his eyes and saw his chakra around him. It was a dark blue that surrounded his entire body. He calmed down and watched it recede.
Kyuubi smiled radiantly as she congratulated him. 'Well done Naruto you managed to get it on your first try and in record time. For now since your body is still repairing itself which should be finished by the end of the month with you starting to eat healthy everyday we'll work on controlling your chakra. Since you already have high-genin level reserves you'll have to constantly work on your control as it will keep growing with my chakra converting to your own and naturally it increasing as you get stronger. But for now head back in and have some breakfast.' After having the best breakfast ever and restocking the kitchen he headed back out to continue his training.
And so for the next couple months Naruto trained everyday resting on Sunday. Like Kyuubi had said his body was what it should have been and a bit better at the end of the month and she had him start training his body. He started with 50 push-ups, sit-ups, leg squats and other various exercises and finishing with 10 laps around the field which equaled about half a mile in the morning. After that he would take a 30 minute break then work on his chakra control until he was exhausted.
He would visit the old man on Sunday so he wouldn't get suspicious. He had cleaned most of the inside of the mansion and started cleaning up his land. There were still some rooms he hadn't entered yet because there were seals on them. He decided to wait to clean the other houses for now.
During those two months Naruto found the clan library and it was impressive to say the least. He was sure there were more scrolls here than the Hokage's Library. There were about a dozen tables around the room. He walked to a podium in the middle of the room and noticed two scrolls on it. The one on the left said 'Namikaze bloodline' on it and the one on the right said 'Uzumaki bloodline' on it. He opened his Otou-san's first and began to read it:
To Naruto,
This scroll contains the information on the Namikaze bloodline. Our bloodline is not a doujutsu like the Sharingan or the Byakugan. Ours is a body bloodline. It doesn't have a name but it is indeed very useful. Our bodies are unique. Every time we are injured our body becomes harder once we heal. So through constant training one's body could become theoretically unbreakable. This was how I was able to with stand traveling at the speed of light using my Hiraishin no Jutsu as only members of the Namikaze family would be able to survive that.
Our bloodline was a gift to us by Kami herself. We do not now why she gave this gift to us but we swore to never abuse this gift. Also a little bit of interesting info is that most people don't realize but when the Senju and Uchiha clans settled for peace and decided to find a location to settle down they were not the ones who settled the land that is now Konohagakure. In fact when they found the location the Namikaze clan had already been settled there for a century. We allowed them to settle the lands next to us and helped them build the first Ninja Village. Over the years we had managed to own 51% of the lands within the village and as a result anything on those lands as well as an insurance policy. So suffice to say we are the richest clan in Konoha.
Unfortunately throughout the Great Ninja Wars many of our clansmen died and there were only a small handful left when the Kyuubi attacked. I am sorry to say that they were among the first to have died that night and that you are all that is left of our great clan. I know you will continue to bring honor to the clan my son and I love you and wish you a happy life.
Your Otou-san,
Namikaze Minato, Yondaime Hogake, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō (Konoha's Yellow Flash)
Naruto finished reading the scroll amazed at the potential of his father's bloodline and with his healing ability it would make his body stronger faster. He rolled it back up and opened his Okaa-san's scroll next.
To Naru-chan,
Our bloodline is possibly one of the strongest in the world. The reason is because of the countless possibilities with it. Our bloodline was a gift from the Goddess of the Elements. This means that she granted us the use of the ability to control and master fire, wind, earth, water, and lighting. Some members of the clan were able to combine two elements once they mastered them to create a sub-element. One for example would be Mokuton. That's right we have the ability to use part of the Shodai's fabled bloodline. This certain element would be a combination of earth and water. Another possibility is water and wind to create Hyoton jutsus. There used to be a bloodline clan that used Hyoton in Kirigakurebut I don't know if any members are still alive due to the 'Bloodline Wars' that the Yondaime Mizukage started killing off bloodline users.
Now because of our bloodline we were hunted down and killed during the Third Great Shinobi War. Our homeland was destroyed by a joint attack by Iwa and Kumo and we managed to save most of the civilians but I was the only member who survived from my clan.
Our clan is from Uzu no Kuni Naruto. This is a special place because it is the last true Kingdom. Our clan were the rulers of Uzu no Kuni. My parents were the King and Queen of the country. I was their only child and Royal Princess and next in line for the thrown and that would make you a Royal Prince. Since I am gone that makes you the next in line for the throne. I know this is a lot to take in and I'm not saying you have to take the position but as long as our clan lives then so does Uzu no Kuni.
Also last I heard the castle of the Royal House was still standing and in the throne room is the sword of the Uzumaki clan. Only someone with Uzumaki blood and only the ruler may wield the sword. This sword is known throughout the Elemental Nations to any sword master or any aspiring to be sword master. This is because it is the strongest sword in existence. It was a gift from the legendary summons of the Dragon clan. The sword is indestructible and you can channel elemental chakra through it. If you do decide to restore our homeland you MUST keep the sword out of view until you're ready to claim your birthright. I suggest making a seal on your wrist and sealing it in there.
I told your father about my past after we got married and the only person who knows of your full heritage is the Fire Daimyo since the Namikaze clan has been allied with Fire Country since shortly after its beginning and Minato was like a son to him and sent a letter to him explaining how he planned to defeat the Kyuubi and about who you are and he will inform his successor if you do not contact him before he retires or dies. Before you get angry that he didn't come to get you know he couldn't because that would have raised questions and could have started the Fourth Great Shinobi War. Well I believe that's it. I love you Naruto and live a happy life.
Your Okaa-san,
Namikaze Uzumaki Kushina, Konoha's Red Death
Naruto reread that scroll a few times and was shocked at what he found out. He was Royalty? He was FUCKING ROYALTY!!! He laughed so hard at that. He was definitely going to rebuild his ancestor's homeland. He couldn't wait to see the look on the villagers' faces when they found out.
He opened the mental link and called out to Kyuubi. 'Hey Kyuu-chan have you been paying attention the past few minutes?' he asked excitedly.
'Sorry Naru-kun I've been planning your training. Why what's going on?' He smirked. He sat down and closed his eyes entering his mindscape. He saw Kyuubi standing in front of him looking as beautiful as ever. He still had that smirk on his face and when she noticed it she raised an eyebrow. She looked at him and said "Well are you going to tell me?"
He continued smirking and said "Look through my memories for the past 10 minutes." She nodded and he watched her face as it went from intrigue from his father's bloodline to amazement to his mother's bloodline to outright shock from her origins. She still had a shocked face when she settled on his still smirking face.
He chuckled at her face and said "Well what do you think?"
That broke her out of her trance and said the only thing that came to mind "Well fuck… that's AWESOME!!! You have the potential to be the strongest person on the planet Naru-kun! And you are FUCKING ROYALTY!!! I actually remember Uzu no Kuni. I can't believe I could have missed something like that. I mean your mother's maiden name is fucking UZUMAKI." She said then broke out laughing with Naruto along with her.
That was definitely one of his favorite memories.
It was the start of a new year and the start of the third month of training and Kyuubi had Naruto start on the tree-climbing exercise and up his physical training. Instead of 50 sets of everything she had him do 100 and instead of 10 laps she increased it to 15. Naruto continued cleaning up the grounds on his days off and found seeds for flowers in a greenhouse that was used for making poisons and antidotes. He found out he had quite a green thumb and enjoyed gardening as it helped relax him.
It was March now and the fifth month of Naruto's training. It was his first Sunday off and he decided to leave the compound and take a stroll/run through the forest. He was coming across the Hyuga compound and noticed a person jumping over the wall with a bundle that looked like it was moving. He had heard of the Kumo delegation coming to Konoha for a treaty and also how they wanted the Byakugan. Deciding to take the risk he followed the person and once he got close enough he noticed the headband was from Kumo and he was sure there was something alive in the bag. He crept up closer to hear what the man was saying when he stopped.
"Ha the plan was perfect. Now that we've got a Byakugan and the heiress herself we can breed her and start our own army of Byakugan wielders in Kumo and I'll be regarded as a hero for capturing her." He laughed and was about to start running again when a voice caught his attention.
Naruto was pissed at what he just heard. He loathed many things in life and rape was one of his top things. He noticed the man was about to run again so he made his presence known. "You know you shouldn't just yell out your plans like that in the middle of a SHINOBI village. You never know who's around."
The Kumo-nin looked behind him and noticed a kid who could be no older than 10. He laughed at Naruto and said "What do you think you're doing gaki? You think you can take me on? I'm an Elite Jounin." He continued to laugh but stopped when a fist connected with his face making him drop the bag and flew back a few feet.
He stood up and glared at Naruto. "Not bad brat. I was just going to let you run along but for that I think I'll kill you." He charged Naruto his right hand cocked back and threw it at Naruto who dodged it barely and kicked the man in the chest. He stumbled back and charged at Naruto again this time drawing out a kunai. Naruto knew he couldn't beat someone of his caliber and quickly began drawing as much chakra as he could. He sent a flare of his chakra knowing anyone within a mile would be able to feel it.
The Kumo-nin registered what Naruto just did and grew more upset. "Damn you brat. I don't have much time now. I need to kill you and take the girl and get out of here." He charged Naruto one last time with his kunai and Naruto charged chakra to his hands remembering how the Sannin Tsunade was able to multiply her strength doing it.
He charged the nin and caught the hand with the kunai and threw his other chakra enhanced fist right at the nin's face. He watched amazed at the power behind it. The man flew back hitting a tree and was knocked out.
He snapped out of his trance when he heard a patrol approaching his location and knew that he had to run. With one quick glance at the nin and the bag he high tailed it out of there. Ten seconds later an ANBU squad landed and looked around the area. They noticed the Kumo delegate knocked out and the bag that was moving. The captain ordered his men to detain the delegate for questioning and he moved to the bag.
He opened it and found the Hyuga heiress bound and gagged with tears in her eyes. He took them off and said "It's ok now. You're going to be ok." With that he ordered his squad to take the man to Torture&Interrogation while he returned the girl back to her mother and father. (Yes Hinata's mother lives)
Days later the Head of T&I (Torture& Interrogation) named Ibiki managed to pry the information from the Kumo delegate about his mission. The Raikage of course denied such a mission and the Kumo-nin was executed and the village of Kumogakure had a trade embargo placed on it for 3 years. No one knew who it was that saved the young heiress as no one had recognized the chakra signature before.
When Naruto had returned home after the fight he fell asleep and appeared in his mindscape. He looked around till he found Kyuubi lying down by the waterfall. He walked over to her and sat next to her.
She looked at him and smiled. "I'm proud of you Naru-kun. You took on an opponent that was much stronger and experienced than you. Although the only reason you didn't die was because of luck and although luck is important is the ninja world skill is much more important. As a reward I think you are ready for your first Ninjutsu technique. This is a very special technique called Kage Bunshin no Jutsu.
It is a kinjutsu which you know means it's a forbidden technique. The reason is because it takes a large amount of chakra to perform and because of possible brain damage. But because of your insane large reserves and your high IQ, healing ability, and with me in here you don't need to worry about the brain damage. What this technique does is create solid clones of the original splitting your reserves in half. Also anything that the clone learns is transferred back to the original. Can you tell me what benefits this might have in your training?"
Naruto looked at her and said "If anything it learns is sent back to the original then that means it can be used for things like chakra control exercises, ninjutsu, reading multiple books at once, and I suppose taijutsu and kenjutsu training right?"
She nodded her head and said "That's right. Of course you'll have to continue increasing your speed and strength on your own but with the possibility of Kage Bunshins included in your training you could learn something in a month that usually takes years."
She smiled at his shocked face and closed his jaw. "Now why don't you go to sleep and rest because when you wake up we will increase your training and I'll teach you the 3 academy style jutsus that they need to be able to do to pass." He nodded and laid his head in her lap and quickly dozed off. She smiled at him and ran her hand through his hair and went to sleep herself.
After Naruto woke up and got ready for training he went outside and heard Kyuubi say 'Alright Naru-kun before I teach you the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu I'm going to teach you those 3 academy level jutsu first. To do the Kawarimi no Jutsu put your hands in the following hand seals: Ram, Boar, Ox, Dog, Snake and then use your chakra to surround something and then pull it towards you and you should replace with that object. If you get good enough you can enough overpower the chakra of another ninja and use the technique on them. Now for the Henge no Jutsu use the hand seals: Dog, Boar, Tiger and then think of what you want to look like down to every detail and poof you'll look like whatever you think of.
Get good enough at that and suppressing your chakra and you can fool almost anybody. The final technique you might have some problems with for now because it requires such a small amount of chakra to use. This jutsu is called Bunshin no Jutsu. Unlike the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu these clones are not solid and don't transfer whatever they learn. When you are able to create one clone you will have high-Jounin level chakra control. These are the hand seals: Ram, Snake, and Tiger.' With her showing the hand seal through the link he gave a mental nod and started working on the jutsu.
An hour later he managed to do the first two jutsu to a decent degree but could only get as low as 50 clones for the third jutsu before messing up. He was about to try again when Kyuubi spoke up. 'That's good for now Naru-kun. Let's get started on the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu. Now here are the correct hand seals: Tiger with left, and right, adjust to form cross. Pour as much chakra into the technique to see how many you can create for now.'
He gave her a mental nod and started practicing the jutsu. After about 30 minutes he finally produced results. He opened his eyes and looked around. He looked around at his copies and heard Kyuubi speak again. 'Good job Naru-kun. You did the technique in record time and managed to create 100 clones with only being slight winded. Not even most Jounin could make that many.
Alright I want you to order 10 clones to head to the clan library and start reading basics for sealing then start making seals themselves. I want 20 clones to practice the Kawarimi no Jutsu and another 20 to practice the Henge no Jutsu. I want the rest to practice the chakra control exercises we've been doing by combining them together.'
He relayed Kyuubi's orders to the clones and started his training. After the end of the day he decided to see how many clones he could create before he messed up. He did the hand seals and spoke in a calm voice Bunshin no Jutsu. He looked around and saw he only managed to reduce the number to 48. He was about to complain when Kyuubi interrupted him. 'Don't worry about it Naru-kun. You showed improvement in only one day and you have years of training ahead of you so take your time and don't worry about it.'
He calmed down and replied 'You're right. Sorry Kyuu-chan. I don't know what I'd do without you.' She smiled and blushed at the praise but didn't respond.
It was now June and Naruto's eighth month of training. Kyuubi had taught him some taijutsu in his mindscape at the beginning of his sixth month and would practice it with his clones. He was able to create 300 now and had them doing various things improving his skills. He took up learning how to hunt and how to build as well as learning to cook better meals. He sent more clones to the library as well to learn about the history of the village and the rest of the Elemental Nations.
He also sent a clone to appear in the village every now and then to deter any suspicion of his whereabouts. With the help of his clones he was able to finish cleaning up the houses and lands as well as exploring more of the area. Kyuubi had once again upped his physical training to 200 sets of everything and 25 laps equaling about 2.5 miles everyday. He still rested on Sunday and there was no stopping him from his pilgrimage to Ichiraku Ramen either on that day.
Sarutobi and a lot of others had noticed that Naruto was getting stronger and when questioned where he's been during the rest of the week he replied "At training grounds that aren't being used and away from the village to train myself" with a shrug. He had told his jiji that he was practicing the academy level jutsu and Sarutobi was shocked that Naruto had already unlocked his chakra. When he questioned Naruto about how he knew these things he said that he had spied on some classes from the academy and watched some students train.
Sarutobi wondered if he should enroll Naruto early in the academy. The boy seemed like a prodigy more so than his father. He knew it would raise hell when Naruto would enter the academy at the normal age of 8 and if he enrolled him earlier there would be an uproar from those who hated the boy. Before he even filled out the paperwork he asked Naruto this question. He was expecting for the boy to shout and say yes while jumping all over the place. He was not expecting the boy to shake his head and say no.
The old man asked with confusion on his face "Why do you not want to enter the academy early Naruto-kun? You could be the youngest person to ever graduate from there. From what you have told me you know things and are able to do things that a final year student should know."
Naruto just kept a neutral face and said "Because I have learned more on my own 'with Kyuu-chan's help of course' than I probably would four years in the academy. I have left the village alone for eight months and yet the people still hate me. I still want to become the best Hokage this village has seen and will see but I also want to become the best ninja in the world. I have no doubt that the teachers in the academy would try to hamper my education so I'm training and learning as much as I can now so I will not be left behind once I do join."
Sarutobi just listened to the words of his magomusuko. Not even people twice his age spoke so well. The more he listened the more he had to sadly agree in his heart and mind that the boy spoke the truth. If only those damn fools would just look at the boy and not the demon then they would have seen the unfathomable depths of potential this child has. He took a long drag of his pipe and agreed.
It was now August and the tenth month of Naruto's training. Overall if Kyuubi had to guess she'd put Naruto at high-gennin level. His speed and strength were low-chuunin; ninjutsu was mid-gennin with still only the 3 academy level jutsu and the Kage Bunshin no Jutsu in his arsenal. Speaking of the academy jutsu he has mastered the first two jutsu to a point without hand seals and has lowered the amounts of clones to 40 before he messes up thanks to his constant use of his now 400 shadow clones and now low-jounin chakra reserves. He can fire kunai and shuriken at all 8 lethal points if standing still at the same time and is improving for moving targets. He has low-chuunin knowledge on seals and his taijutsu is mid-gennin level as well. The only thing he is lacking is experience which is why she has brought up this current conversation.
"Ne Naru-kun I want to say that I'm very proud of you. You've come very far in 10 months. If I had to overall guess your current skills I'd say high-gennin. Sure you are higher in some areas and lower in others but that can be changed through more training. The only thing that more training can not change is experience.
If you had Kage level skills and no experience and were fighting a veteran Jounin then more than likely the Jounin would win and you'd be dead. You currently have enough training and survival skills to live on your own and I am thinking that either on your birthday or shortly after it that you leave the village to continue your training."
Naruto looked at her wide-eyed. He couldn't deny that what she said made sense and he's practically been living on his own since he was born. He wanted to say no to the idea but he knew it was the most logical idea.
He took a deep breath and said "I agree with your idea. We'll need to start preparing then if we leave because jiji's not just going let me walk out of the village."
She nodded her head and said "Hai we'll up your training till you have no energy to even breathe. You should start making a list of the things we'll need and the places you want to visit or stay away from. We should also study the patrols at night to make our escape easier." He sighed and nodded. 'So much to do in so little time.'
It was a week from the intended day. They had decided to leave the night of his birthday while the villagers get drunk and the shinobi have to pay more attention to the inside of the village to keep order than the outside. He had sealed every book, scroll, and note that were in the library and put them in part of his mindscape that was a duplicate of the library in the clan house after Kyuubi taught him a dimensional storage jutsu. He took the remaining food in the mansion including in the storage seals in the pantry and put them in his mindscape as well after recreating the preservation seals.
He found out that they were pretty easy to create. He stored several sets of clothes and various other supplies in scrolls that he was going to carry on him. He also found some odd small square pieces of paper that he stored as well. Kyuubi told him that they were chakra papers that are used to determine what elemental affinity you have. Even though he knew he had the ability to use all 5 main elements it would still help him determine which was his strongest affinity and his weakest.
He and Kyuubi agreed to maintain his rigorous physical training for the first four days then the next day a light workout while keeping up his chakra control exercises during each training. He spent the sixth day with his precious people while keeping up his guard since his birthday was only one day away and some people might want to give him an early 'birthday present.'
Today was the day. His 6th birthday and the day he leaves the"Village Hidden in the Leaves" to continue his training. He spent the entire day checking and rechecking making sure he had everything he needed and didn't leave anything behind. He dressed in all black as the sun set placing the scrolls in his vest and placed a black mask on his face covering his whisker marks. He strapped the twin kodachis that belonged to his mother on his back at his waist that she used in ANBU as "Konoha's Red Death" that he'd been practicing with for the past two months.
The sun had set and he'd seen the fireworks signaling the beginning of the festival of Kyuubi's defeat. He walked out of the mansion towards the gate and before opening the gate took a long look at his home he'd be leaving for many years after only living there for less than a year. He took a deep breathe and opened the gate walking out and relocking the gate. He listened to it lock then jumped into the trees making his way towards the east side of the village for his escape while creating a shadow clone a giving it a message to give to its target unaware of the danger that awaits him ahead.
Another person was planning his move tonight. The destruction of his clan. This man is Uchiha Itachi. He took out his katana killing his first victim and continued his onslaught.
As Naruto neared his escape route he passed the Uchiha complex and smelt something that shook him to the core. 'Blood' he thought. He took out one of his kodachis and slowly began his way into the compound. When he arrived he almost puked at what he saw. Bodies. Bodies everywhere. Covered in blood with limbs missing from that person or that person or that person. He could still he screams so he steeled himself and continued him.
Uchiha Mikoto could not believe what she was seeing. Her eldest son was slaughtering his own clan. Killing even the children. She watched as her husband demanded to know what he was doing.
He simply replied "Testing my abilities." Fugaku charged at him but was only his next victim. She ran out of the house looking for help. She knew she was no match for her son even if she was one of the strongest kunoichi in the village. She felt a pain in her leg resulting her in falling down. She looked and saw a kunai stuck in it. She looked back up into the fully matured Sharingan of her son. She closed her eyes as she saw him lifting his sword ready to kill her. She waited for 3 seconds when she heard a clang.
Naruto sped through the complex when the screams stopped. He prayed that there were survivors. As he turned a corner he saw a man raise his sword and prepared to kill a woman on the ground in front of him. He charged chakra to his legs and sped forward hoping to make it in time.
The assailant's sword was just 3 inches from her head when she opened her eyes from the noise to find what looked like a boy in black no older than her youngest with a kodachi held against her son's sword. She didn't move to frightened from her son trying to kill her and where this mysterious boy came from.
Naruto let a quick sigh of relief internally when he made in time. He pushed the attacker back and yelled "Who are you and why are you attacking a clan of Konoha?"
When Naruto looked closer he noticed the person's eyes and gasped. This was the result of the power that didn't belong to this clan. Naruto looked into his eyes and said "Tell me your name Uchiha."
Itachi was quite surprised when someone blocked his sword from killing his mother. He was even more surprised when it looked like someone no older than his younger brother but the strength behind that push was remarkable for one his age and was even greater than him at that age.
He was snapped out of his thoughts when the boy gasped finally noticing his eyes and the "Tell me your name Uchiha."
Itachi looked at his opponent that was in a standard sword stance. "My name is Itachi. May I ask the name of the person who has shown being worthy of proving my abilities?"
Naruto looked at the newly named Itachi. He had heard of this person. Graduated the academy at the age of 7, made chuunin at 10 and finally ANBU Captain at 13. This person was way out of his league.
Naruto looked at his opponent at said "No you may not know my name for now. But if I survive this and we meet again I will give you my name."
Itachi nodded at that and then charged Naruto when his katana at his side. Naruto blocked the strike and attempted to kick him but was to slow and was punched by Itachi's free hand. Naruto jumped out of the way as Itachi threw several shuriken at him at summoned 50 clones that temporary shocked Itachi as he found out that these were shadow clones. He made quick work of them only to find his opponent and his mother gone. He picked up their trail and followed them.
Naruto picked up the woman as his clones took care of Itachi. He knew that it wouldn't take him long to defeat his clones so as he ran with the woman in his arms he summoned his chakra and sent a flare that would be felt throughout Konoha. It took only another 5 seconds for Itachi to catch up.
Naruto looked at him and said "I'm sure you felt my chakra flare. Every ninja in Konoha should be on their way here. If you leave now you still have a chance to escape."
Itachi was not pleased but left leaving his mother alive and by luck ran into Sasuke and completed his second objective by morphing his eyes into the Mangekyo Sharingan and used Tsukuyomi to show every person he killed and fucked up his mind. With that finished Itachi left the village.
Back with Naruto he took out one of his scrolls labeled 'Medical Supplies' and quickly bandaged up the woman's leg. He looked into her eyes and blushed a bit at finally seeing how beautiful she looked.
He quickly erased that thought and said "The wound isn't that bad but you should still get a professional to check it out incase the kunai was poisoned or to make sure it doesn't get infected."
Mikoto just nodded not trusting her voice as she stared into those amazing blue orbs called eyes. She saw him put the scroll back in his vest and got ready to leave. She quickly blurted out "Mikoto". When she saw him raise an eyebrow she blushed. "That's my name. Uchiha Mikoto. Thank you for saving me."
She could see him smiling under his mask as he responded "Stay strong Mikoto-chan. Stay strong" and with that he sped off in the same direction Itachi left. She blushed at the –chan suffix.
She was brought out of her daze as the Hokage and several ANBU and other ninja arrived shocked at what they saw. Sarutobi saw the Uchiha matriarch still alive and rushed over to her. "Mikoto-chan what happened here?"
Mikoto looked up to the man's face and said "Itachi… he killed them all. He killed off his own clan. If it wasn't for that boy then I would be dead too."
Sarutobi was shocked at what he heard. He quickly ordered everyone to search for survivors as he took Mikoto to the hospital. There she told him of her savior and he was even more shocked. But what really got him was the description. A boy no older than eight with blue eyes and blonde hair. He knew it was possible that it could have been a Yamanaka or even a henge but his gut told him otherwise.
He bid the woman a quick goodbye and get well and used a quick Shunshin no Jutsu and quickly arrived at his office. He was about to use his crystal ball to look for Naruto when he spotted a kunai with a paper around it on his desk. Quickly dismissing it as an exploding tag he un-wrapped the paper and saw it was a message.
Dear Jiji,
I am sorry to say this but by the time you read this I'll be out of the village. I have chosen to do this to further my training. I'll be able to gather experience and probably some cool techniques. I promise I WILL survive and get stronger. I will return before what would have been the day of my class's graduation test. Don't you dare die on me because I still need to kick your ass and take that hat.
Love your magomusuko,
Uzumaki Naruto
P.S. I know you can't do anything since I'm not a ninja and only a citizen. Remember to remind the council especially the civilian council and elders as well as that old one arm one eye guy that and give my blessings to the Shinobi Council.
Sarutobi let a tear fall from his eye as he finished reading the letter. He knew now that it was Naruto who stopped Itachi from killing Mikoto. He was so proud that his grandson was already so strong and from that chakra flare earlier had quite a bit of chakra already. He steeled himself and called forth one of his ANBU to gather the council and alert them of what has happened. He chuckled to himself. 'Quite a genius plan for both of them to use this day for their plans.'
Naruto was already 20 miles from Konoha when he stopped to take a rest. He definitely wasn't planning on doing that during his escape from Konoha. He continued running for a few more hours before he found a place to lie down and go to sleep.
It would definitely be an interesting few years.
