A/N: Sorry about the lateness it took me awhile to get this one written. Been very busy. I'm still looking for a beta pm me if you are interested. Oh and we meet Kyuubi in this chapter. You should see the differences between the Kyuubi I had in the last version. Though he still is a total douchebag to Naruto. Please Review. I will also be skipping the rest of the academy. Sorry about that but nothing was planned for that time it was just going to be some filler chapters while I wrote the rest of the story. Well I decided not to do that. So yes the updates will be longer but they will be more plot heavy. The chapters will start getting longer now. Also Sasuke will be grey in this story. Be prepared for him to do something that makes you hate him, and then to do something that makes you not hate him as much. He wont be emo though. There won't be any bashing in this story.

Chapter 5 Naruto's nightmares begin

4 years later

Naruto dragged himself into his house briefly recalling the fire that destroyed his old homes. With a sigh Naruto plopped himself down onto his bed and instantly fell asleep.

Naruto's dream

Naruto found himself walking around the village, no villager glared at him, infact they smiled at him. Suddenly a scream erupted from behind him. Naruto turned around and saw a woman pointing to the sky. Looking up Naruto saw the flames flying downward upon the street. Naruto brought out his chakra and created a shield protecting as many people on the street as he could. A little girl ran out to collect her doll, her mother reached out to grab at her to stop her, but she was too late. A flame caught the girl on fire, and she died screaming in pain. Naruto's shield began to crack and he called out to the villagers telling them that he cant hold much longer. Then suddenly a clawed hand came from above Naruto and ripped him out of the shield. Naruto felt himself bleeding as the claws dug into his skin. With a scream everything went black.

Naruto woke up to the smell of burnt flesh. His eyes opened to see the burnt carcasses of the villages, and the burnt house around him. There was the sound of a woman singing, and Naruto followed the sound. After wandering for awhile Naruto saw a woman who looked like Anko does from the back. He saw she was holding someone in her arms. A mess of blond hair was all that showed Naruto that was himself.

"Anko-san!" Naruto called and Anko turned slowly. At first Anko looked normal but as Naruto saw the rest of her, he noticed her eyes were missing and blood was leaking down her face. She opened her mouth to talk, but blood poured from her mouth. Naruto ran to her and went to wrap his arms around her. When his hands touched her, her body dissolved into blood. Looking down at the blood on his hands he saw the decapitated head of Anko staring up at him. With a muffled shout Naruto reached down and picked her head up. He put her head to his chest and wept silently for a bit. There was the sound of bones crunching and Naruto looked upward. There walking toward him was a man. The man wore a long black kimono, nine tails whipped around his body. The man had long red hair. He smirked each time he stepped on someone and seemed to make it his goal to step on their heads. As he neared Naruto a katana formed in his hand.

"Hello Naruto-chan." The man said stabbing his sword into one of the still groaning men's throat.

"Wh-Who are you?" Naruto stuttered out

"Aw you don't remember me? You don't remember the times you called out for me. Called for your father?" The man asked

"Father?"

"You really don't remember me do you? Even after all I've done for you?"

"You've done nothing! What about all the beatings I've endured! Where were you!"

"Look around you. They all have been given their punishments. Even the bitch you called a friend."

"You killed Anko-san! She was my friend and don't you dare call her a bitch!" Naruto screamed out

"Is that how you treat a father! I think Naruto-chan needs to be punished!" The man screamed out and his katana entered Naruto's chest killing him instantly.

Naruto awoke in a cold sweat in his bedroom. He felt two arms around him and turned to see Anko holding him in her sleep. He snuck out from her embrace and left his room. The sun was barely cresting the hokage mountain and the streets were empty outside. So Naruto stepped out into the chilly December air, and made his way to the academy to meet his sensei. As he walked he briefly remembered the teams.

Flashback

"Team 7 Sasuke Uchiha, Rin Otasaki, Ni. Your sensei will be Kakashi Hatake." Tomoya Otasaki said

"Team 8 Hinata Hyuuga, Kiba Inuzuka, Ino Yamanaka. Your sensei will be Kurenai Yuuhi."

"Team 9 is still in circulation and so Team 10 will be Naruto Uzumaki with his personal teacher, me!"

"Team 11 Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame, Chouji Akamichi. Your sensei will be Asuma Sarutobi."

End Flashback

Naruto entered the academy grounds to see his sensei standing there, now Tomoya Otasaki was anything but normal. While most senseis might just decide to stand leaning against a wall, Tomoya decided he wanted to balance himself on a sword that was embedded in the floor.

"Naruto-san!" Tomoya called hopping off of the sword.

"Tomoya-sensei." Naruto replied

"Follow me. We'll be doing some sparring today, and no holding back!" Tomoya said and jumped off into the trees. Naruto sighed and followed. As they jumped Naruto began to think back to a way to beat Tomoya. Despite the time the two have spent together Naruto truly knew nothing of his abilities. They entered a open field and Tomoya stopped.

"Naruto-san. We both know you are strong, but strength means nothing when you can't think of a way to overcome obstacles." Tomoya said as he fell into a stance.

"If an obstacle presents it self I will blow it away." Naruto said as he too fell into a stance.

Naruto ran through handsigns and called out.

"Uzumaki style: Black Forest." Naruto called and dead barren trees appeared everywhere.

"Oh trying to blow me away? Good luck." Tomoya said holding one arm out.

"I don't need luck." Naruto said with a smile

"The heavens will fall, and hell shall rise and ignite this world!" Tomoya called out and flames erupted everywhere burning through the chakra trees.

Naruto charged forward as Naruto neared Tomoya, Tomoya called out once more

"Blackness shall erupt and block out the sun." A wall of blackness erupted outward and covered the training field. Naruto stopped his charge as he was unable to see.

"Now then Naruto-san you can't see the obstacle and yet it is still present what shall you do?" Tomoya called out from every angle. Naruto looked around when a voice spoke in his mind.

"My, my you are so weak. Did you know that he's standing behind you?" The voice said Naruto turned lashing out directly behind himself. His hand connected with something hard and Naruto smirked

"Oh. Sorry that was a tree." Naruto grimaced feeling the splinter shoot into his palm.

"Wow. Punching a tree, smooth move Naruto-san." Tomoya's voice rang out once more.

"Jump!" Naruto chose to ignore the voice and was met with a kick tripping him up and sending Naruto to the floor.

"Now why didn't listen. Oh Roll to the left!" Naruto followed suit and ended up smacking himself into the tree once more.

"Your other left. Sorry it's hard to tell which way is which."

"Unlucky Naruto-san." Tomoya said

Naruto threw up his arms blocking a kick from Tomoya. Naruto grabbed at the leg, but the leg disappeared from his reach. The darkness disappeared from around Naruto.

"Aw…. I was having fun. Oh well."

In front of Naruto stood Tomoya, who was smiling.

"What was that?" Naruto said panting.

"My family jutsus require me to speak out to engage it, but when I envelope my enemy in that darkness I am able to speak to them through their mind. You'd be surprised how quickly they will trust a voice in their head. Now I didn't use it for to long on you, because well it wouldn't be fair to you. Now go home we'll do missions tomorrow." Tomoya said looking up seeing an eagle flying above his head.

Naruto walked away from the field, confused but feeling relieved that it was just Tomoya speaking to him.

-In a dark room-

"Almost there. Come on. Ah There we go!" a voice said and there was a loud clicking noise

"Here I come boy and your hell shall begin!" The voice said and a light turned on illuminating a long white hallway, and the man walking down it. The man had nine red tails.
