I do not own Naruto.
Yo! Wazzup! I'm finally done with this chapter, took quite some time.
Although, I do have one request. When you choose a name of pairing, spell it correctly. Sometimes, few don't and really slows me down when counting. If all names are correctly written, all I'd have to do is use find function of the browser and quickly count all votes!
Again, this chapter might be slightly similar to the one from Overlooked prodigy, but he just had written it very good, and there wasn't much stuff to change. Though, keep in mind, while skeleton may be similar, flesh is different.
Hey! In the haste yesterday, I have written last part about Uchiha's death way to quickly with many errors in it. I have rewritten it now.
Also, there were many interesting review's I've read, and many of them had suggestions/questions, and I'd figure I would answer them to best of my ability!
Answers To Reviews:
1st - Coldblue:
Thanks for the honest review, I really do appreciate when flaws of the story are shown to me, so I will do my best to fix them.
I know about the grammar problems, but more prominent mistakes that are easily noticeable are because sometimes I'm in kind of haste and don't look back at what I've wrote. Also, for more minor ones, that are usually only noticeable to a very good speaker/writer, are because English isn't actually my native language.
And, for god's sake, stop being sorry. Write as many reviews as you want, they are welcome!
As for your questions, well, I won't answer all of them, because what's the fun if I reveal and spoil everything? But I can answer some of them.
1 - I assure you that Naruto will NOT have as amazing sensing as Karin, because she isn't an ordinary sensor. She uses special technique, unique to her called Mind's Eye Of Kagura. She is the best sensor in entire series, save for Naruto or other Kyuubi Jinchuriki who have the negative emotion sensing or Sage Mode's sensing, and I ain't planning to change that.
Naruto might be a sensor, I won't reveal too much but he will be nowhere near caliber of Karin.
2 - For girls, well, not much girls are outside the village of Naruto's age. And, when writing a story, I kinda try to imagine myself in Naruto's place -of course it doesn't mean Naruto's personality is anywhere like mine, no, nothing like that-, and I don't really find much girls of his age all that attractive compared to the movie girls. Temari is good, but I really do like her and Shikamaru pairing like in the cannon, and I plan to keep it like that.
3 - Naruto will NOT go blind, since if he did then he would lose all abilities of Sharingan, and this is sharingan!Naruto story after all.
4 - Gaining Mangekyo Sharingan through harsh training is all rumor. I've specifically looked up on wikia and many other reliable sources, Mangekyo Sharingan can ONLY be gained through a traumatic event. Here is the evidence from Naruto Wikia: "The Mangekyō Sharingan is awakened by a Sharingan user when they suffer from trauma after witnessing the death of someone close to them. With the user normally having to witness or experience this first hand, Uchiha throughout history have killed those closest to them in order to expedite this process."
Sharingan itself is by product of Curse of Hatred, only awakened when falling into it, though so far only Shisui was able resist the curse and live normally.
5 - Yes, that picture will be the Mangekyo Sharingan of Naruto in the Shippuden.
For his techniques, let me explain how Mangekyo works first. There are two eyes, obviously, and each eye has an ability. For example, Sasuke's left eye he can cast Amaterasu, while his right eye can extinguish the flames or apply a Shape Transformation to it. Susanoo, is a technique that requires having both abilities of individual eyes mastered. As long as as user has a pair of same eyes (not one original or one transplanted. It has to be a pair) and has mastered his other two abilities, he can user Susanoo.
Meaning, that Naruto will be able to use Susanoo, though only after mastering his other two abilities. Including Susanoo, Mangekyo Sharigan can have only 3 techniques/abilities.
Also, Naruto will absolutely NOT have Kotoamatsukami. That's just way too OP. It's a technique that surpasses every other genjutsu and almost all other techniques. A genjutsu requiring no eye contact, able to change and implant memories and experiences, manipulating someone without them knowing it. And, only reason it was once a decade technique when people other than Shisui used it was because it didn't have body of its original host, which is Shisui, and there was only one eye. Sharingan, especially Mangekyo, works best with two eyes. Everything is improved. That's a main reason Shisui was killed off in the series and his eyes were so wanted by everyone, including Obito and Danzo. There is no way Naruto will get Kotoamatsukami or Shisui would live. It would just ruin the story. As for others, well, I won't spoil anything, hehe.

Chapter Three - Worst Day Ever
'I-s th-that, Sh-sh-shar-sharingan?!' Shisui spit out his coffee, gaping like a fish and eyes widening as he gazed into Naruto's Sharingan, with 1 tomoe in left eye, while 2 tomoe in his right.
"How?" was the only word he could utter in his rather shocked state. Naruto grinned.
"Yesterday, when fighting the enemy ninja" he replied. 'Wait, what?' thought Shisui. When?
"Fought a enemy ninja? When? Where? Why?" he showered him with questions, not leaving any time to answer.
"Woah, woah woah, wait. One at a time. Ok, I fought him yesterday, near to Hyuga Compound, and he had something in the large black sack, so I followed him. After leaving the walls of Hyuga's, we fought, though he defeated him. But I think my father arrived and took care of him, not sure since I lost consciousness after a hard kick! Cool, right?". Shisui's eyes widened even more if possible. 'COOL?! He could've died!'.
"Wait, you fought the Kumo jonin? The ambassador that came to sign that fake peace treaty and attempted to kidnap the Hyuga heiress? Are you okay?" he asked, still in shock. Naruto blinked, but then his grin got even wider.
"So Hinata was inside that bag, huh? Wait, you said he was a jonin? Cool! I fought a jonin and even hit him once! And I'm okay, really, sensei. Just little aches and that's it" Shisui could only sigh. 'He had almost death experience and he talks about it as if it was fun...'.
"C'mon, sensei, let's go to training ground, I wanna test my eyes out!" Shisui grinned and nodded. How could he refuse his little student? Getting dressed, he and Naruto quickly ran to their private training ground and after few stretches and warm ups they were ready.
"Ok, Naruto, before we begin, let me explain exactly how Sharingan works and its abilities:
The Sharingan's abilities consist of two parts: the "Eye of Insight" and the "Eye of Hypnotism". The first of the Sharingan's powers is being able to see chakra flow. The Sharingan itself gives colour to chakra, allowing the wielder to differentiate people and are also able to tell if a person is under a genjutsu because the person's chakra flow would be irregular. The Sharingan's second-most prominent ability grants the user an incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to easily recognize genjutsu and different forms of chakra, though not to the same extent as the Byakugan. This also allows the user to pick up on subtle details, enabling them to read lip movementsor mimic something like pencil movements. As the Sharingan evolves, gaining more tomoe, this ability extends to being able to track fast-moving objects before finally giving some amount of predictive capabilities to the user, allowing them to see the image of an attacker's next move from the slightest muscle tension in their body and counter-attack or dodge without any wasted movement. But, even though the user may be able to see an attack or know it is coming, their body may not always have time to react, so physical training is very important.
The Sharingan's third and most well-known ability is that it grants the user the ability to copy almost any technique that he or she witnesses, apart from other kekkei genkai techniques. The user can memorize ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu with near-perfect accuracy, allowing the user to use the techniques as their own, or even modify them to create their own new techniques. In order to reproduce a copied technique, however, one must have the necessary skill or ability to perform them. In addition to physical skill and kekkei genkai techniques, the Sharingan cannot reproduce techniques dependent on other factors, such as summons that the user has not signed a contract with.
When the Sharingan is first activated by a user, it has a different number of tomoe around the central pupil, varying between users. The wielder of the Sharingan, through continued use and training, changes its form further, which involves the eye maturing fully until it has three tomoe. As the Sharingan develops, the user gains heightened abilities through the heightened ocular sense. For example, they can at least copy hand movements with one tomoe, predict a person's movement and copy techniques with two and completely use the Sharingan's all abilities when it is fully matured".
Naruto's mouth was watering more and more as he listened to Shisui. Sharingan was AMAZING!
"Sugoi! But sensei, I have 2 tomoes in one eye while 1 tomoe in another, what does that mean?".
"Hmm, not sure, but I think it should give you minimal ability to track high-speed movements as well as ability to see chakra and know if you are in genjutsu" Redhead just grinned.
"So, how do we improve my Sharingan?" asked scarlet haired kid as his sensei grinned sadistically.
"Very easy, Naruto, I'll throw real weapons at you and fight you slightly more seriously, forcing you to your limits and evolving your eyes. And we start... NOW!" he threw 4 shuriken with one hand while 4 kunai with another, though nowhere near his full speed.
Naruto's eyes didn't show much surprise though, which slightly confused Shisui but before he could do anything Naruto had easily dodged the weapons. Uchiha's eyes widened slightly. Even though he didn't put much power in the throw, he had element of surprise. But Naruto didn't seem surprised at all. There was no way Naruto could have dodged them so easily. That only meant...
"Naruto, listen, there's something more I got to tell you." he said. As he got Naruto's attention, he continued "Sometimes, some users develop more special, stronger Sharingan. Those 'special' eyes, are sometimes much more advanced than normal, usually either in Eye of Hypnotism or Eye of Insight. Itachi and I, for example, have more advanced Eye of Hypnotism, and our genjutu is much stronger than that of a normal Sharingan. On the other hand, there has been few Uchihas to have more advanced Eye of Insight. The strongest one known had, with number of tomoes like your, ability to see fast movements far clearly than normal. Yours, on the other hand, seem to have surpassed even that Sharingan." at Naruto's confused look he elaborated "It seems that you have extremely advanced Eye of Insight. Just at 1 tomoe and one eye and 2 at another, you are able to already use predictive ability of Sharingan at level of two tomoes in each eye. Such feat has never been witnessed before. If at one and two tomoes you are able to use predictive ability of Sharingan on such a high level, I can't imagine how powerful your fully matured Sharingan will be".
Naruto's eyes widened. His Sharingan was so awesome? But he wasn't even an Uchiha. But the redhead didn't care. It was amazing! 'I can't wait to train my eyes to their full potential!'.
"Naruto!" said Shisui in a serious tone "Such Sharingan has never been seen before. Even though you are Hokage's son, it will be very dangerous if it was revealed that you have Sharingan, much less one like this. I want you to keep it a secret from anyone other than your parents until you can take care of yourself." Naruto nodded but asked anyway.
"But why would it be dangerous?"
"Because, there are some people who would do anything for more power. They might manipulate you, or more probably, steal your eyes and use them for themselves."
"Steal my eyes?" he asked, slight fear creeping into his voice. His sensei just nodded. Well, he would keep it a secret for sure! He had absolutely no desire of someone plucking his eyes out.
"All right, I promise I'll keep it a secret until I can take care of myself!"
Shisui smiled and nodded "Now, why won't we continue out training?"
A Week Later:
Naruto sat with his family, eating dinner and sighed. They paid him less and less attention every day.
Whenever they went somewhere, always focus was on Kasumi, rarely on him. If they asked what to do, Kasumi's choice was more important to them than his pretty much ever time. When they asked "kids, what do you want...", it was mostly implied as "Kasumi, what do you want...".
It was noticed in public as well, people of the village, who already thought of Kasumi as hero, forgetting about him and always going out of their way to compliment her on everything, even when she didn't deserve it.
"So, Kasumi, anything interesting happened today?" asked Minato as Kasumi began recounting a boring story about how she, Ino and Sakura played some sort of game and so on...
'She always has friends surrounding her everywhere she goes... but no matter. I still have Shisui and some others'.
As they finished eating, Naruto went to take shower while Minato and Kushina took Kasumi into backyard, for training. Today Minato had gotten a day-off saying he had something important to do. As he got out of shower, dried himself and dressed up, he was about to leave the house when something white caught his eye. Looking to where his family was, he noticed Jiraiya, his father's sensei and arrived. Interested in what he was doing here, since it had been years since he had visited, Naruto stayed hidden inside the building and listened.
With Kasumi
This useless Leaf Concentration Practice was going to drive her insane! Why was it so hard? She could barely keep it for 5 minutes before it fell off. At least she was doing better than her brother. Well, as far as she knew, at least.
Speaking of her brother, she just couldn't get him. He was always moody, quite and was growing away from them. She couldn't get why. He was barely punished, did almost whatever he wanted, yet he always seemed sad. What was his problem? She didn't hate him or anything, but he was just too different, and she didn't try to get close to him. Sure, he wasn't getting training from their parents or attention from the village, but it wasn't her fault. She was just special, while he was normal. Oh, she couldn't be farther from truth.
Today was quite good though, her father stayed home and they were together.
"Kasu-chan! Stop practicing and come here!" her mother called out. Sighing in relief that this hellish exercise was finally over, she opened her eyes.
'Great...'. Just when everything was going okay, he had to come.
"Eh? What is stupid Ero-sennin doing here?" she asked, or rather demanded. Jiraiya just cried anime tears, no one was appreciating him these days.
"Actually, he is reason why I wanted to stay home today" answered her father. Looking at him questioningly, he explained.
"We have a gift for you, Kasumi" no faster than he finished the sentence, Kasumi was upon him. She loved gifts, though by no means she was deprived of them. Opposite, actually, she got a lot of them, unlike her brother.
"What is it?" Minato chuckled and pried her away.
Giving Jiraiya a nod, white-haired man took the large scroll from his back and opened it.
"I and Jiraiya decided to give you the summoning contract for toads!" exclaimed the blonde Hokage.
Kasumi's eyes widened and she formed a huge grin "AMAZING, DATTEBAYO! Where do I sign it?".
Back With Naruto
Naurot couldn't believe it. A summoning scroll? For toads no less? Just when she was 7? She couldn't use it at least until she would be 10, with amount of chakra required for a high level summon, yet they gave it to her now, out of blue, not even for a birthday or some kind of celebration.
He couldn't help but feel pang of jealousy. She got everything, ranging from attention of their parents, to all friends she wanted, praises from villagers, now this?
What was he? A chopped liver?
He clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger. It didn't matter. He didn't need them. He would get strong without. He had Shisui.
~~~FLASHBACK START~~~
Some Months Ago
Naruto and his family where in the park. His mother was on far side of the place, conversing with other parents, while his sister was playing hide and seek with others.
'Eh, it's not like I got anything else to do' he though as he started making his way to the kids. He noticed how his sister left the game temporarily, going to Kushina, for something he didn't know and didn't honestly care.
Sure, he didn't like playing some pointless games, but he was bored and besides, this was hide and seek, easy, since he had some training about stealth from Shisui. Kasumi had been trained as well, sure, but stealth definitely wasn't her forte. He was sure if he got serious, none of the kids would find even a small clue about him.
Putting on a smile, he walked up to other kids.
"Hey! I wanna join in the game too" he called out.
Others look at him oddly.
"Play? You actually want to play? But I thought you never did? Hah, Hokage's loser son finally begs to play?" One of the kids mocked.
Begs? Beg? He, beg THEM? Just thought itself was laughable to him. To beg to some idiots to let him play. Phfft right. Okay, he could forgive one slip-up, but "Hokage's loser son"? Where did that come from. Anger rising, he thought 'Hokage's loser son...'. They also thought of Kasumi like a hero, yet him a loser?
His bangs shadowing his eyes, he growled at the kids, surprising them.
"I may be many things..." Kids actually took few steps back from amount of venom in his voice.
Naruto suddenly looked at them, eyes no longer shadowed, which were wide open, glaring at them with so much hatred that some almost pissed themselves, while cheeks under his eyes had an ominous shadows cast on them "..but loser is not one of them! Say that again and you'll regret it." Kids just stayed silent, trembling at killing intent he was unknowingly directing at them, showing a large demonic figure behind him.
Turning around, he scoffed at how pathetic they were. He couldn't believe that he actually wanted to spend time with them.
Walking towards gate, where all the parents were, Kasumi passed him, heading back to the children, and she looked at him with an inquisitive gaze, probably interested where he was going. He just ignored her and continued his way.
Not even stopping near his parents, he said "I'll be going home, Kaa-san, I'm feeling slightly sick".
Kushina looked at him with worried look "Want me to come?"
"No. I can take care of myself. It's nothing serious, just slight headache."
"You sure?" his mother persisted.
But he wasn't in mood for some pointless talk, so he simply nodded and continued walking.
As he walked a fair amount of distance away from his mother, he clenched his fists and punched a tree beside him so hard that he caused cracks to spread around it, while drawing blood from his knuckles and fingers. But he didn't care.
A loser son of Hokage? He'd show them. He'd show them all. 'I'll become the most powerful ninja Konoha has ever produced, that's a promise. Let's see who'll think of calling me that again'. He wouldn't be known as son of Hokage, much less a loser. He would make his name feared throughout the world, where enemies would tremble in terror when hearing it.
~~~FLASHBACK END~~~
If his parents didn't need him, then he didn't need them either.
Uchiha or not, he had Sharingan, and he had fallen into Curse of Hatred[1].
With Kushina
While Kushina smiled as she saw her daughter receive an important gift such as summoning contract, she couldn't help but think of her son, Naruto. He was slowly pushing away from them. But was it really his fault. When she thought about it, it wasn't his fault at all. Reflecting on her memories, she put herself in his shoes, and understood exactly why he was acting like he was. She cursed herself for her ignorance and stupidity. How could she not have noticed until now?
Even though, she was surprised that he kept quiet, but it wasn't a good thing. She would have blown up long ago, yet he barely uttered a complaint. Bottling up emotions wasn't good, not at all, especially for a kid.
She felt something, and turning around saw her sound walking away from window, only head visible, noticing his gritted teeth. Guilt consumed her, what kind of mother was she?
Not wanting to ruin Kasumi's happy moment, she resolved herself to talk to Minato later.
Evening, Private Room
"So, what did you want to talk to me about, Kushina?" asked Minato as she set up silence barrier around the room.
"Have you noticed anything about Naruto?" she asked, wanting to get him to realize their situation instead of telling him the answer directly.
"About Naruto? Well, not much, why ask?" Kushina sighed. Was she this oblivious as well?
"Haven't you noticed that he's been pushing away from us, more and more as time goes?" Minato blinked. Now that he though about it, Naruto's relationship with them wasn't great indeed. But why? Naruto's always been quiet child never seeking any attention.
"Now, remember all times we were together, and put yourself in his shoes." Minato did as ordered and soon his eyes widened.
Whenever they went to eat somewhere in public, they had all but ignored Naruto's suggestions and favored Kasumi's requests. Same with everything else. Looking deeper into his memories, he remembered Naruto as a child few years ago, energetic boy always seeking attention of his everyone.
"Yes, Minato, we did this. Now it's time to at least try to fix our mess."
Minato could only nod. He vowed to make it up to his son.
Timeskip 1 Year, Naruto Age of 8:
"Ready? Come, Naruto!" said Shisui as he got into position. Activating his Sharingan, which now had 2 tomoes in each eye, Naruto charged at Shisui. While charging with normal speed, which was about same as average genin speed, pretty impressive for 8 year old, he suddenly brought up his right hand in a one-handed half-ram seal.
'Shunshin no Jutsu' he thought as his speed suddenly skyrocketed, appearing behind Shisui. He was student of famed Shunshin no Shisui after all, and Body Flicker Technique was his first and very few techniques he knew. Even though he could copy techniques, he didn't see the reason, as at such a young age he didn't have enough chakra to use a technique higher than a C rank easily. He worked hard on it, though for now it was more like a combat utilised D-rank extreme speed technique instead of Shisui's D-turned-A rank one, which was faster than even that of a 4th Hokage.
'Not bad' thought Shisui. Suddenly, Naruto unsealed a katana, smaller size than normal, though still quite large for his small body. It had one-and-a-half-handed hilt, which was made for one-handed usage, though could be used with two hands (I'm not making it up, it does exist). (AN: I'm too lazy to describe it, so just Google "Ichigo's Fullbring Bankai" and imagine it with a smaller blade and hilt. Only sword, not the outfit!). It was Shisui's gift for his birthday, and he absolutely loved it. It was just right for him, beautiful yet deadly, and he took great care of the weapon.
He swung it as hard as he could, aiming to bifurcate Shisui. But, far faster than he could, Uchiha prodigy brought his hand into same seal as he did before, and disappeared. Naruto's Sharingan could track his movements, but his body was only barely able to react.
Ducking, Naruto placed one of his onto the ground, and spun, trying to sweep Shisui's feet, but his opponent jumped over his legs. Naruto allowed small smirk to come to his face. 'Bingo'.
Not stopping his motion, he lifted his hand weapon-free hand, which before was on ground to help him keep balance, he continued spinning on his leg, his now-free hand quickly going to his pouch. Taking out a kunai, he threw at one of the ninja wires, setting the trap that barraged Shisui with dozens of Kunai and Shuriken.
Then, he stopped his spin, placing his outstretched leg almost paralel to the gound, 90 degree angle to Shisui, Naruto, still ducked, swung his sword upwards at Shisui from below, effectively trapping him between two rather sharp attacks.
'Yes, not bad indeed' thought Shisui as he balanced on the sword with soles of his feet on each side of flat of the blade, blocking it, while taking out a kunai and deflecting all the objects thrown at him. At same time, he put his one foot forward, and pushing against the blade with both of his feet, he forced it out of Naruto's grip, having sword turn around on it's axis, handle towards him while point towards Naruto.
As he was falling down, Uchiha let go of his kunai, grabbing handle of Naruto's sword, and taking a step forward without lifting his foot of the ground, he thrust his sword at redhead's throat at very high speed, and faster than Namikaze could dodge, Shisui held point of his own sword over his jugular.
Naruto could only sigh.
"I can't even last 2 minutes against you, Shisui-sensei!" he whined slightly. Shisui chuckled. Even though he hadn't even used fifth of his speed, much less fought seriously, Naruto's attack would have been effective against a genin, perhaps even a lesser chunin.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you will surpass me one day. But you have a lot of work to do".
Naruto and Shisui have grown much closer over the year, meeting almost daily, either training or just hanging out. For Naruto, Shisui was his only actual friend, while for Shisui Naruto was a little brother he never had.
"Okay, now go home, take a shower and get some rest. I can't come here tomorrow, there is an important business I must attend to, so why don't you take a day-off? You've been working hard, you need some rest. You already are on a average genin level just at age of 8, no need to rush".
Naruto nodded. He almost always obeyed his sensei, knowing he was right most of time.
Namikaze House
"I'm back" Naruto called out to his family as he entered his house, taking off his shoes.
Overtime, he noticed his parents improving, but he couldn't just forgive them. After all they had done, it was hard to forget.
"Welcome back! How was your day?" asked Kushina as she was preparing dinner.
"Nothing special. Just training" he simply waved her off. He wasn't going to explain what happened in details, though he was quite proud of his trick against Shisui today. His sensei was more of a family than his blood one.
"You shouldn't train all day, Naru-chan. It's dangerous, especially for a kid." Naruto's eyebrow twitched. 'Naru-chan'... A downside of his mother trying to improve his relationship with family.
"I wasn't training all day. I and sensei have rested and spent some time hanging out" he said, slight annoyance showing in his voice on constant questioning of his mother. It was true, his previous spar was one of many followed after Shisui treated him to ramen and they had some fun.
Kushina sighed inwadly. How was she going to bond with her son if he kept brushing her every attempt off? But she was Kushina Uzumaki, she didn't give up that easily, dattebane!
"I'll take a shower" Naruto informed her as he left the room.
Next Morning
Naruto woke up and after standing up, saw a letter lying on his desk. Picking it up, he opened it.
Naruto, meet me at out secret place, as soon as you read this. Make sure you're alone.
Shisui.
Wondering what Shisui wanted, as he said that he would be busy today, Naruto got dressed and jumped out of window.
Their 'secret place' was a place they sometimes went to relax. Very few knew of the place, and even fewer visited, so it was perfect change for the energy filled atmosphere of their training ground.
As he got their, he saw Shisui sitting, leaning on the tree. But as he turned around, Naruto gasped.
Shisui was missing an eye, with blood flowing down his face.
"Shisui-sensei!" Naruto yelled in alarm as he ran to his teacher.
"What happened! Wait, I'll go get a doctor!" Naruto said as he turned around to got look for Tsunade but couldn't go far since a hand had firmly grasped his wrist.
Turning back around, he stared, surprised at Uchiha's actions, who shook his head.
"Don't. There's a reason why I called for you alone. Sit down." Scarlet haired boy reluctantly complied, seeing as he had no other choice.
"I will tell you something, Naruto, that you should keep a secret no matter what. Promise me." And Naruto promised.
"You see, something has been going with Uchiha clan. What you know about Kyuubi's attack isn't truth." Seeing Naruto's shocked and confused face, he explained "It wasn't as simple as as Kyubi forcing its way out of the seal. Your father would have held it. An unknown masked man with Sharingan attacked during the childbirth, catching the fox under genjutsu and extracting it from the seal when it was weak because of childbirth. It has been hidden from public due to safety reasons, but rumors still got out. Some people have been blaming Uchiha clan for the attack. Your father tried to dissuade that idea, but not many listened.
Tension has escalated, and Uchiha have begun planing a coup d'etat. I and Itachi worked as double agents for Konoha, relying information about my clan.
You don't know it, but there is another form of Sharingan. A form evolving beyond 3 tomoed one, the Mangekyo Sharingan. Very few have unlocked it, me including. My special technique is Kotoamatsukami, genjutsu enabling me to implant false memories and manipulate people temporarily. I have been ordered by your father to use it on Uchiha clan head to buy some time, but a powerhungry man wanting to do things his way has stolen one of my eyes. Now it would arouse too many suspicions if I arrived with 1 eye, so plan is foiled.
I can't continue to live anymore, Naruto." Said boy looked at him with even more shocked expression.
"What?" His tone was quiet but disbelief was noticeable in the voice.
"I'm sorry, Naruto, but I have to destroy my corpse to make it look like a suicide. But, I want to entrust my remaining eye to you. Never give it to anyone, or tell about it, even to your parents, until you have at least achieved S-class level."
"B-b-but! NO! Don't leave me, SHISUI!" Shisui smiled sadly.
"I'm sorry, Naruto, but this is for the good of the village. Itachi will exterminate the clan himself."
"WHAT?"
Ignoring the interruption, Shisui continued "If the coup occurs, civil war will take place, and it will spark the Fourth Great Ninja War..."
"My eyes are extremely dangerous, Naruto. If they fall into wrong hands, it will spell disaster. You are the closest person to me, and there is no one I would entrust my eye to other than you. Please, will you keep it?" he ended sentence in pleading tone.
Tears flowed out of Naruto's eyes like waterfall, but he nodded nonetheless. Smiling, Shisui took a brush and after pricking redhead's finger with a kunai and taking some of his blood, he drew a seal on boy's right shoulder and soon enough, he created a special blood seal.
Then, he plucked out his remaining eye, and putting it into a jar containing special liquid, screwed the lead shut tightly and gave it to boy to seal it.
"It's a special sealing technique, Naruto. It will take your blood, chakra and will itself to open it. If anyone asks, just say it is a special weapon.
Before I go, I have some last words.
Find Nakano Shrine Main Temple in the Uchiha compound, enter it and on the far right side, under 7th tatami, there is a special place. Go there when the mess will be cleaned up.
I know you don't have good relationship with your family, but I've seen that they are honestly trying to fix their mistakes. Give them a chance. I'm not asking to forget or forgive them easily, no, never forget it and forgiving might take some time, but please consider it. Don't hate them, or the village for ordering this to happen. I can see that you've already fallen to Curse of Hatred. Every Sharingan user has, but very few have been able to overcome it. I believe you can as well. I know that, with your skill, you will be able to graduate from academy already, but don't. There is no war, and there is no rush. Use that time wisely, train and make new friends. I know one day you will become great ninja."
"I love you and always will, Naruto. Sayonara, ototo[2]" were his final words before he fell down from the very tall cliff into the swift and wild river.
If Shisui still had his eyes, he would see Naruto' Sharingan activate, spinning, and add another tomoe, fully maturing it. Then, it changed into a completely different shape(AN: I can't describe the shape, so just looked ato story's picture). But young male Namikaze didn't care, and ignored it, as slight burning in his eyes or improvement of vision was absolutely nothing when compared to pain he felt in his heart.
Scarlet haired boy just fell onto his knees, and cried out "SHISUII!"
He stayed there all the remaining day, which, considering it was just morning, was alot, and cried his heart out. As night came he fell into deep sleep, but his last thoughts were something that he would stick by in coming years 'I will fulfil your requests and I won't fail you, sensei!'.
Extra Explanations:
[1] - Curse of Hatred - is the reason Sharingan exists. I myself already changed quite a bit by having Naruto awaken his because of life threatening situation instead of intense emotions. Uchiha Obito awakened his in a similar way, but that was also because he felt that he was just a useless burden with all bark and no bite.
[2] - "Sayonara, ototo" - means "Good bye, little brother"

Naruto's Summon:
I've got some ideas for Naruto's summon, but I would greatly appreciate some suggestions. If you didn't know already, after seeing the Third perform the Summoning Technique, Jiraiya tried to use it himself. Since he did not have a contract, he was reverse-summoned to Mount Myoboku - residence of toad summons.
Meaning, doing Kuchiyose no Jutsu while not having a contract, will reverse-summon the user to the realm of animal summons he or she are most attuned to. I don't know if it's the case with everyone, but I will make it so with Naruto.
I will NOT make it crows, because it is Itachi's summon, not Shisui's, and I can't have two enemies having same summoning contract.
Here are two major categories:
Please, not that all information underlined aren't mine, but rather what I found on various websites.
1. Large animal used for fighting at large scale battles, like Toads or Snakes or Slugs.
Two other categories - Flying or Land animals.
Flying Category:
Western Dragon - I couldn't think of much large scale fighting flying creatures other than this, so it is open to suggestions. But, I don't think dragons are connected to Naruto like Toads are connected to Jiraiya. The dragon is a strong and ancient symbol, appearing in almost all cultures in some form. The western dragon is strongly tied to the energy of the earth — representing a powerful and sometimes terrifying master of the elements. A dragon totem is a powerful protector and can be very inspirational, fueling creativity and inner motivation. Dragon medicine can teach us honesty, courage, regeneration, vitality, and personal power. Dragon people tend to be wise, passionate, independent, and sometimes egotistical. A dragon is a fierce creature, and I'm not sure it would fit Naruto.
Land Animals:
Again, couldn't think of fitting giant animal, so I want to entrust task to you.
Please, do keep in mind that his summon will be on par with ones like Toads, not stronger.
2. Smaller animals, like Kakashi's ninja dogs.
Eagle - Larger than normal, of course, about same size as Shippuden Sasuke's Hawk in cannon. Or perhaps same size as Pain's weird giant bird. Freedom, power, clarity. Eagle people tend to be ambitious, passionate, intelligent, and playful though they often have a quick temper. Eagle medicine can teach us how to take risks, making a leap of faith when the time is right. Eagle as a totem helps us to embrace and develop a sense of confidence, clarity, righteous judgment, and balance in our lives. Eagle is a tempestuous teacher, but brings deep wisdom and helps us to aspire to greatness.
Leopard - interesting choice, actually, for a smaller animal. Leopard people tend to be independent, graceful and secretive. They are self-assured, aggressive, and are often known as intimidating. Leopard medicine helps people to learn to listen to their own intuition and instinct, and to understand that this sense is just as powerful as logic.
Cheetah - another one. Speed and focus. Cheetah medicine can give us the burst of energy necessary to start a task or the focus needed, when the energy is there, to complete it. Cheetah can teach us to stick to our goals no matter how much the path weaves and winds.
Cougar - actually, this one could be used in giant form as a large fighting animal size of Gamabunta, but I'll leave that up to you. Personal power, assertiveness, agility. Cougar teaches us to be capable leaders (though often in an unconventional fashion) – guiding others through example, expertise, experience, and a judicious use of well-earned influence. Mountain lion people tend to be confident, moving through their lives with purpose and skill. Puma medicine teaches us balance in our lives, leaping sure-footedly from challenge to challenge, meeting all difficulties in life with poise and grace.
Cat - sure, three above are types of cat, but thought it would be worth mentioning. Cat represents a balance of strength in both physical and spiritual, psychic and sensual powers, merging these two worlds into one. Curious, intelligent, and physically adept, cat people tend to live in a world all their own.
Please, either suggest an animal, size/type of summon you want. If you want to bring in another animal, feel free, I'd be grateful, but have an argument/reason to back up your suggestion, instead of just simply suggesting an animal you like.

Pairings(Please, if you haven't already, I greatly recommend watching "Naruto Shippūden the Movie"(For Shion), "Naruto Shippūden the Movie: The Lost Tower"(For Sara) and "Naruto Shippūden the Movie: Blood Prison"(For Ryuzetsu), as personality of a character is just as important as their looks):
Naruto x Ryuzetsu - 10
Naruto x Sara - 9
Naruto x Shion - 9
Naruto x OC - 4
Holy crap! Sara and Shion pretty much skyrocketed in reviews!
Also, please vote only once. If you vote twice, I'll just enter 1 vote and it will only slow me down, thus slowing down the rate of updates.
If you want to change your vote, then please write so first before telling the new choice of vote.
Do keep in mind, that winner of the pairings will be introduced either in the timeskip period of cannon or Shippuden. Most probably timeskip, meaning I will write the movie itself and change it up to fit the new circumstances differing from the cannon. That's one of the reasons why I prefer Ryuzetsu pairing over others. I've watched all Naruto movies, except for latest movie The Last: Naruto the Movie. All were okay, but I exceptionally loved the Blood Prison. It was amazing, IMO at least and I would love to have a different Naruto than cannon playing in there.
Answer to Zen Neeon:
You asked, quote: "Could you give us more information for a paring, just to know what are you looking for temper, looks, age something like that". Well, choosing characteristics is entirely up to you, though I myself would like girl to be a ninja, a strong one at that, for age it will have to be same as Naruto. All are, except for Ryuzetsu, but difference in their age is quite small, and aging her down to Naruto's age will be no problem. As for those who would say she likes Muku, all I'd have to say is that she loves him like a brother, and bam, done. Easy.

Teams:
Naruto(The Rookie of the Year) & Kasumi(Kunoichi of the Year) & OC(Deadlast) - 3
Naruto & Sasuke & someone(NOT Kasumi, that would be a tad too OP) - 2
Naruto & OC & OC - 0
Message to BleachFreak16 and some others:
Sorry about hiding his skills, but I should say no for that one. He simply has no reason to. It would be ridiculous. As for your team vote, you said quote "Naruto, Sasuke, and naruto sister". I'm afraid I mentioned it above that it is impossible. That would make just too OP of a team. I kindly ask you to choose either Naruto, his sister and OC or Naruto and Sasuke and someone else.
Other (This are 'Yes' or 'No' questions, so I won't be able to write which answer it in the lead):
1. Do you want Sasuke to go to Orochimaru or not?
Sasuke will be branded with Curse Seal of Heaven, but whether he goes to Orochimaru or not is up to you. What I meant previously by "resists its temptations or not" was that where he 'plunges into darkness' and goes to Orochimaru for power or not. In cannon, he was never Orochimaru's puppet to begin with, it was a training trip of sort, actually. He never obeyed him much, didn't even add '-sama- suffix and never planned on giving his body.
I WILL have him branded with the seal, because if I had Naruto stop Orochimaru from doing it then that would make him just wayyy too OP. And I want to make this more realistic, and having someone strong interfere in the Chunin Exams because they somehow 'sensed' something would happen is bullshit.
2. Should I leave other OC Uchiha's alive other than Sasuke? - Until next chapter is the time left for this vote. Choose quickly and wisely, please.
It won't be hard to live some other children alive from Uchiha Massacre other than just Sasuke, but I don't want to look like I copy everything from other stories so I want to make a vote and let you decide what will happen.
Also, in this two, I'll have some of my influence as well. Meaning unless one answer heavily outvotes another, it might not be what will happen. Why? It will be easier for me to write, and I have more ideas. Understand that, while you will have a choice, unlike in trivial things like pairings, this questions greatly influence the story and it is important for me to write one I'm more comfortable with.
Vote and tell me what should I do!
Feel free to leave your suggestions and I hope you liked the story!
