AN: Chapter eight is up! In this chapter how Naruto was blinded shall be revealed! Although I will admit that I wasn't feeling to well while I was writing this chapter and I also had to make sure that it would stay in the T rating! Please review, constructive criticism is welcome and I will also answer questions!

I really should have been more detailed on what I meant last chapter for a group within the Akatsuki. This group would consist of Naruto, Tobi, Fu and possibly one other person if someone makes a sugestion. The group will be formed by Naruto so that the Akatsuki missing nin's wouldn't have to go to things like meetings with villages (imagine Itachi showing up in Konoha to form some type of agreement, wouldn't end well...) and the group would do more of the official missions, not ones where they just do quick assassins but ones where they are required to show their faces! I will be going along with this idea and if anyone would like to recommend someone for the fourth member it would be greatly appreciated! Also a name... Coming up with names is bloody hard!

'Bijuu Talking'

Nagato, the red haired Rinnegan user and Akatsuki leader had been having a terrible time lately, first the fight with the fake Madara, having to rebuild a quarter of Amegakure, as well as having to think of what to do next to achieve his goal of peace. The stress of it all had caught up with him, how could it not? When he had ordered Itachi to find someone who had known true pain he had been expecting something -anything- else! Heck, he was even expecting any different Jinchuriki -perhaps not the ones from Kumogakure though- but when the oldest of the last two Uchiha came through the door with the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki the Rinnegan user couldn't help but wonder why Itachi had bought the blond boy here? From the reports he had heard from Zetsu, the boy was just a naive and stupid loud mouthed child who had never felt any pain...

Zetsu... The man who was currently missing had been working with the fake Madara all along, and the red haired Rinnegan user hadn't noticed until about a month ago! That had really -really- pissed Nagato off.

Needles to say the stress, frustration and anger all seemed to come out the moment after the blond had entered the room, he hadn't meant for what he said to come out the way that it had but he was feeling to much shock and confusion to even think about apologising. The words that had just been shouted out by the blond Jinchuriki started to play through the Akatsuki Leader's head 'WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN NEVER FELT FUCKING PAIN?! WHEN I WAS FIVE MY GOD DAMNED CARETAKER RIPPED MY FUCKING EYES RIGHT OUT OF THEIR OWN BLOODY SOCKETS!'
What did the blond mean? He obviously still had his eyes, so what did he mean? Perhaps he should ask? But how could he, he had already pissed the blond boy off and he didn't want to do it again. Luckily Konan, the Rinnegan user's partner saved him from having to question what had just bee shouted.
"What do you mean? You appear to still have your eyes, if they had been ripped out then you wouldn't have them now."

Naruto really wanted to smash his head into the closest wall, how could he have been so stupid!? He had intended to keep his past a secret but it had only taken a couple of sentences and he had snapped in front of two strangers and Itachi-Sensei! Sure the blind blond had told Itachi some of the truth on how he had become blind but not all of it! And not only that but the only female in the room had asked him what he meant! But perhaps, should he tell? If he did then all his years work in keeping a secret would go to waste, but at the same time he could get something off his chest. Could these people be trusted though? He could tell that all of the occupants in the room were surprised, but they also seemed... worried about him? Perhaps he could trust them with the story of his past... Perhaps if he did then he could find a place where he truly fit in and could be himself, a place where he belonged!
With newfound determination and fading rage the blind boy spoke in a kind yet serious voice.
"What I'm going to tell you is something I've never been able to tell the full story of to anyone, even Itachi-Sensei only knows part of it! It had all started on my fifth birthday-"

Today was Naruto's fifth birthday, a day that had always made him feel both excitement and fear. Excitement because, well... what five year old wouldn't be excited to spend his day with his most favourite person in the world, Hokage-Jiji, the most powerful and awesome ninja in the village? Fear because, whenever Jiji had to leave him with his caretaker Ren because he had to go back to do his special Hokage work -paperwork- the people around him would give him looks of pure hatred, sometimes they would even abuse the blond haired boy -both physically and verbally-, he even ended up in hospital a few times. But luckily Ren wasn't like that, Ren was a short, black haired woman that seemed to be in her late thirties. She was the only person other then Hokage-Jiji that didn't seem to hate the blond haired boy, he felt that he could trust her with his life... and he did.
The two, Ren and Naruto were walking down the street that led to Naruto's apartment -the blond had been kicked out of the orphanage a year ago- happily chatting away when Ren said something that confused the blond, why did he have a bad feeling when she had said that?
"Well Naruto-kun, because it's your birthday today I've decided that I'll give you a birthday gift that you'll always remember!" The blond was surprised, no one except for Jiji had given him a birthday present before! Not even Ren, she has always been busy with the... Kyuubi festival? Whatever that was, no one had ever bothered to tell him the details about it.

"That was when everything went wrong, I should have known what was going to happen next, but I was to excited to know what was lurking in the darkness, a darkness that everyone possesses. The darkness of the human heart."

Naruto was bouncing around his apartment in excitement, Ren was going to get him a present! He was sooooooo excited! What would she get him? Would he like it? Of course he would, he would love anything Ren gave him! "Naruto-kun, can you please come over here?" Came a calm and caring female voice of the blond's caretaker. Naruto quickly complied and went with her into the small apartment kitchen where he saw something that shocked him, why were there so many sharp and dangerous objects in the room? The blond boy looked over to his caretaker, his expression showed nothing but confusion and fear but that all vanished when he saw the look Rin was giving him. It was 'that' look, the look that showed that he was considered a monster and that he was despised like nothing else. Why did Ren have that look in her eyes? Why? Why?

"Why? Ren, why do you have that look in your eyes?" He was scared, Naruto was scared, what was happening? What had happened to give Ren 'that' look? A voice, no longer kind and caring spoke with hatred and Insanity.
"Hehehe. You think I ever cared for you? YOUR A FUCKING MONSTER! A DEMON WHO SHOULD BE ROTTING IN HELL! THE FOURTH SHOULD HAVE KILLED YOU A LONG TIME AGO!" Ren pulled out a kunai, a sharp one. Naruto's eyes widened.

Stab

"DIE DEMON!" 'Oh, my arm is hurting...'

Stab

"LET ME FINISH WHAT THE FOURTH STARTED YOU FUCKING MONSTER!" 'So... Ren was one of them huh?'

Stab Stab

"YOU KILLED MY FAMILY YOU GOD DAMNED FUCKING MONSTER!" 'I can't believe that I hadn't noticed before.'

Stab Stab Stab

"P-p-please s-stop, I didn't d-do an-anything to y-you!" 'She was the only one except for Jiji that I had trusted and yet, I was betrayed.'

"HA! YEAH RIGHT YOU FUCKING MONSTER! YOU KILLED HUNDREDS AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO DIE... Oh wait~ I have an even better idea~ kukukukuku!" The almost unconscious blond noticed that Ren had dropped the kunai, what was she going to do now? Right before Naruto fell unconscious he felt the most painful thing that he had ever felt.

Rip

"After my caretaker betrayed my trust and ripped my eyes out I met with the kyuubi for the first time, he had said that he could reform my eyeballs but the amount of damage done to the optic nerve was beyond repair, even for him. After that I had to keep a secret, the secret that I am blind..." Nagato couldn't believe what he had just heard, one of the only two fucking people the blond could trust had betrayed and blinded him, but why did he tell the three occupants in the room his story? What reason did he have in doing so? As if reading his mind the blond said with a fox-like grin on his face.
"I know that I've caused a lot of questions for all three of you and I will answer them. Why did I decide to share this with two people I don't know and one person I hadn't seen in six years? I hadn't been able to tell anyone the whole truth, it was nice to be able to talk about it to someone, to get it off my chest. Why you three? I dunno, I guess that I felt like I could trust you!" There was a pause, the blond boy in front of them thought that he could trust the three? Nagato decided to speak up, disregarding his worry that the blond Jinchuriki would be angered.
"Uzumaki Naruto, I apologise for my behaviour from earlier, I have been put under a lot of stress lately and it all seemed to come out at that moment." Why was the Rinnegan user worried, not about enraging the boy but the worry was simply towards the boy in general? He seemed so much like Yahiko...
"Eh! Don't worry about it! I thought it was something like that." Huh? He didn't seem to mind what had happened previously? Yes, the blond boy in front of the Rinnegan user truly was like Yahiko.
A male monotone voice spoke up.
"Naruto, I am glad that you finally decided to tell the truth of that incident but perhaps it would be best if you told Leader-Sama and Konan-Sama about your disability and ability, it would be more beneficial if you did so and if Leader-Sama allows you to join the Akatsuki then telling the rest would also be beneficial." So Itachi had bought the blond here to join, just like Nagato had requested. Maybe the boy in front of the red haired Rinnegan user would be a good addition to the group, then perhaps they could devise a plan towards peace among the Elemental Nations? But what did Itachi mean disability? The blond didn't appear to have one... 'After that I had to keep a secret, the secret that I'm blind.' Oh, how had Nagato forgotten that? Was he really that distracted by comparing the blond boy to Yahiko?

"Ok Itachi-Sensei! Well you see, I'm blind but I have an ability that still allows me to see, well sort of-" as the blind blond went into an explanation on how he could 'see' and how he could control the earth Nagato listened intently and he could tell that Konan was doing the same. It truly was intriguing, an ancient art that Rikudo Sennin replaced because it caused war. The ability to control one of four elements, and the ways that they could be used. The fact that Naruto used the earth to see -sort of- was one of the most interesting yet worrisome of things. The blind blond had gone since he was five years old being blind and only one person had noticed? Exactly how often was the boy even noticed? The people of Konoha probably pretended that he wasn't there, it was highly possible. But how had the boys precious people, -his team, the Hokage and probably some others- not noticed? Did they really pay so little attention to the blind blond or was he just -extremely- good at hiding things? It didn't matter, Nagato would make sure that Naruto didn't have to hide again.
"Uzumaki Naruto, I will allow you to join the Akatsuki under three conditions. Number one is that you get stronger. Number two is that you help us bring peace to the world, the right way." Nagato paused and a small smile made it's way onto the red haired Rinnegan user's face "and number three is that you tell the other members of your disability, you do not have to worry, you will be welcome here in Amegakure! Welcome."

Finished! My first idea for how Naruto was blinded was a mob attack but then I remembered that those were used a lot. So I thought about it and I ended up finding something I had once wrote on something, 'betrayal is more painful then never having someone to be betrayed by in the first place'. So I went for a not-so-mob-attack-like approach! Please review! Constructive criticism is welcome and I will also answer questions if anyone has any!
