Shisui was running as fast as he could to the hospital while carrying Naruto. A lot of different thoughts sprinted through his head:
'Why did Naruto do this?; How did he awaken the Sharingan if he is not an Uchiha?; How did he kill 2 chunnins?'
When he arrived at the hospital he ran to the emergency. He tried to find a nurse or a doctor that could help Naruto. Shisui didn't know what or why passed out, but he wouldn't take any chances. Who knows, one of the chuunins could've stabbed him somewhere and was slowly bleeding out or it could be just chakra exhaustion.
Then a nurse came into Shisui's field of view. He rushed to her and she gave a glance at whom he was carrying.
The nurse sighed. She knew who this boy was very well. It was Naruto. She didn't like him very much, but at the end of the day it was her profession to help patients.
"Come with me," said the nurse, and Shisui obliged. They walked through the corridors of the hospital and stopped in front of a patient room.
"You can leave him inside that room. Nobody will be there until tomorrow." the nurse added.
"Okay. There is another thing I want you to do. Call the Hokage here at once." said Shisui speaking for the first time he was there. The nurse simply nodded and went to a nearby telephone.
"Hokage-sama" greeted Shisui he has waited for around 15 for the Hokage to arrive. Shisui of course has waited with Naruto. He was really worried for the boy.
"Hello, Shisui." greeted back the Hokage. He already knew the basics of what happened. Naruto went on a killing spree in "self-defense". The Hokage knew the rumors would spread fast and that Naruto would be even more hated by the villagers.
"Hokage-sam-" Shisui tried to say but was interrupted by the Hokage himself.
"I know Shisui. I am in great sadness seeing him in that bed. Let alone he was forced to kill so many people at his age..."
"Forced?" asked Shisui
"As I see you are not quite informed. As you know or may not know Naruto is the jinchuuriki of The Nine-Tailed-Fox. He is hated by the whole village and it seems tonight he finally had had enough of it. They tried to kill him and he returned the favor." said The third Hokage. He watched some parts of the carnage through his crystal ball. Hiruzen then went to the "scene" in person and ordered the Anbu to clean it up.
By the time The Hokage was done with his explanation, Shisui had his eyes wide like saucers. He knew that The Nine-Tailed-Fox couldn't be killed and was sealed in a baby, but never had he thought that baby is Naruto. That explained a lot to Shisui, but he was also relieved that Naruto was innocent.
"Hokage-sama... There is something else you should know..." said Shisui seriously.
"What is it?" replied Hiruzen.
"It's about Naruto... during his fight he-" Shisui was interrupted by the groaning of Naruto.
"Where am I?" asked Naruto to nobody in particular. He looked and saw Hiruzen talking with Shisui and immediately the memories from the massacre hit him straight in the face.
"Naruto are you okay?" asked The Third. Shisui seemed to ask the same question but decided to keep his mouth shut since he knew The Hokage and Naruto was closer.
"I think so," replied Naruto.
Hiruzen sighed. "Do you know who this is?" asked the Hokage as he pointed to Shisui. Naruto nodded.
"As far as I know he has decided to take you for his pupil, correct?". Naruto nodded again.
"Naruto, before we continue this conversation, I want you to know that you did nothing wrong," said Hiruzen.
Naruto smiled, he knew he did nothing wrong.
"I know Jiji, they attacked me first," said Naruto.
"That's right, my boy. Now, if it is okay with Shisui I can assign him to train you in his free time." said The Third.
"It's fine by me," said Shisui.
"I'd be glad, Jiji!" said Naruto with a smile. The first true smile he showed in... he didn't even know how much it has been.
"Okay, then, it's settled. You may start whenever you like. Now, I have to go, I got a lot of paperwork waiting for me in the office.
But before that, Naruto, you can't stay at the orphanage anymore. I'll rent you an apartment, do you understand?"
Naruto perked at that.
The Third Hokage left Shisui and Naruto alone. Shisui was about to speak up, but Naruto overtook him.
"Shisui, is it possible you keep the Sharingan a secret?" asked Naruto with a sigh.
He thought for a moment.
'If Naruto is an Uchiha why wouldn't he want to come into the family... Why would he want to keep the Sharingan a secret.' thought Shisui.
"Why? Don't you want to come to the compound with me? To finally have a family?" asked Shisui. Depending on Naruto's answer, he would decide to either keep it a secret or not.
"I don't think they'll accept me. Even, if they do, which is an if, I can't just live with the people who hated me. I don't really want to live with someone anyway.
And the Sharingan, I want you to promise me, that you won't tell anyone about it, please." asked Naruto
Shisui sighed, he didn't want to lie about Naruto. But he guessed that he would make a compromise on one condition.
"Okay. I will keep it a secret-," Naruto grinned widely "-but if I see something fishy with you and your eyes, I'm going to the Hokage."
'I can live with that.' Thought Naruto.
"Deal?"
"Deal."
Naruto and Shisui were standing in the middle of a training ground. They just arrived and were about to train. On the way to the training ground, they talked about what Shisui was going to teach Naruto. Naruto asked him if he could teach him how to use the Sharingan, to which he agreed.
"So Naruto, do you know what the Sharingan actually does?" asked Shisui as he needed to know how much he knew about the doujutsu. And he was interested since Naruto didn't have parents and there was no one to tell him about the clans and kekei genkai's.
"From what I've read and experienced, it can see chakra and predict movements?" said/asked Naruto.
"You're partially correct. The Sharingan can indeed see chakra pathways and it does kinda predict movements. The Sharingan grants the user's incredible clarity of perception, allowing them to track fast-moving objects with ease and even predict the subsequent movements of those objects. But that isn't the only thing that the Sharingan is capable of. It can copy movements including ninjutsu, and taijutsu. But that is not the only thing it can copy. It can copy even small things like the handwriting of another person and motions." explained Shisui.
"Wow... So let me get this straight. These eyes can do anything?" asked Naruto.
"These eyes are powerful Naruto, but they come at a cost. You awakened your Sharingan when you almost died, right?" asked Shisui and Naruto just nodded.
"The Sharingan could be awakened if the user is under a lot of stress, like life-and-death situations or losing something or someone close to you," said Shisui.
"But fortunately, once the Sharingan is awakened it's "easier" to evolve it," explained Shisui.
"Evolve? what does that mean?" asked Naruto.
"There are... Three stages to the Sharingan. The first one is the very basic stage - The one tomoe Sharingan. The second one is the two tomoe Sharingan, and the third stage is the three tomoe. The last stage is where you Sharingan have matured. The more your Sharingan matures the more increases the clarity of perception. That means that you'll be able to read the opponent's moves faster." explained Shisui.
"That's incredible. Just imagine there are more things the Sharingan can do," said Naruto bemusedly.
"Oh, yeah, there is another thing. The Sharingan can cast strong genjutsus with only eye contact. That's why they say never look into an Uchiha's eyes."
Naruto was devastated. The Sharingan was an overpowered thing to have. He wondered if there is a downside to the Sharingan.
"Now, you said that you don't know anything about Taijutsu. So, we'll start with that," said Shisui seriously
"Okay what exactly?" asked Naruto.
"First put these on," added Shisui as he offered Naruto weights and Naruto took them.
As Naruto grabbed them his hands couldn't handle the weight and his hand fell to the ground.
"What the fuck? You expect me to train with these?!" exclaimed Naruto.
"Now, now, Naruto watch your language. And yes you will train with those weights. Now I want you to give me 50 laps on the training ground, followed by 300 push-ups and finally 500 sit-ups. Only then, I will teach you the Uchiha Interceptor Fist."
Naruto paled but obeyed.
After Naruto was done, Shisui had shown him the basics of the Interceptor Fist. Naruto sucked the information like a dry sponge. He was able to learn the basics by the end of the day. Shisui even trained him in the ways of the Sharingan. At the end of the training, he told Naruto is to be here at 6 am tomorrow.
After he was done with the training for today, he went to the Hokage office and took the keys to his new apartment. He was currently outside his door. He unlocked it with the keys he was given by the Hokage and entered. Inside the apartment was so... peaceful. there was everything that should be in an apartment - running water, electricity, stove, bed, etc. He was happy he could finally sleep in peace.
The only problem was he didn't know how to cook. He would have to get a recipe book, but for now, he would go to eat outside.
After locking the door, he started walking towards his favorite restaurant in the whole city - Ichiraku's. On his way there the majority of the villagers
looked at him with fear and some of them with more anger. There were all kinds of insults.
"Murderer..."
"Look at that monster... I hope someone kills him for his sins.."
"The Hokage shouldn't have let that murderer walk like he didn't do anything..."
The villagers just didn't seem to stop talking about Naruto. He on the other hand cracked a smile, a simple genuine smile. Naruto suddenly snapped his head to a villager that was talking shit about him, and the villager pulled out a face of horror.
Naruto let out a chuckle. Fear, to Naruto, was just a twisted form of respect. Naruto liked his new "reputation".
'Rumors do spread fast, don't they...' wondered Naruto as he arrived at the Ichiraku's. He sat on one of the chairs at the counter.
"Teuchi-oji-san!" shouted Naruto to no one in particular. After a moment, a grown man entered Naruto's view. This man was Teuchi, he was the only civilian that treated him like a normal kid, other than his daughter - Ayame. Of course, Teuchi heard about Naruto's "artwork", but he knew too well that they probably forced him. And the kid in front of him was the living evidence. If he truly killed them out of nothing, the Hokage would've locked him.
"Oh, Naruto! How's it going my boy?" asked Teuchi.
"It's been... Normal you know, 'been walking here and there." said Naruto sheepishly.
"Sure, sure. Anyway, the normal?" asked Teuchi again.
"Yeah. How's life for you?" replied Naruto.
"It has been good, Naruto," replied Teuchi as he walked to the kitchen and started making Naruto's ramen. The ramen was ready fast, since Teuchi had everything set up.
Naruto ate in silence. After he was done, he went back to his apartment and fell asleep.
(Council chambers)
"Hiruzen. You've gone soft, why don't you give me the boy and I could make him the village's greatest asset?" asked a figure.
The Hokage sighed "Danzo. No such thing will happen. Understood?" shot the Hokage with a glare.
"Understood." said the now-identified-person Danzo. He was fuming inside. He could make Naruto Konoha's ultimate weapon, that way the village could rule over the world. Damn the Hokage for not seeing such an opportunity.
"Hokage-sama why don't we just kill the demon?" asked a civilian. The other civilians attending the meeting seem to agree with her. Hiruzen let out some KI and they immediately lost their composure. He finally had enough of the civilian council.
"Naruto will not be killed, and Danzo, I've already placed him under Uchiha Shisui's wing to train him," said Hiruzen.
If Danzo wasn't pissed enough already, he was now. Why would Hiruzen place the Kyuubi under the Uchiha, does he not understand that they will just use him? But it didn't matter, he was the Hokage, and his word was the law.
"Naruto's actions are to be considered in self-defense. The chunnin that were murdered, will be reported KIA(Killed-in-action), as for the civilians...-" The Third sighed. This was proving to be a headache, if he said that a shinobi went mad and killed them, no one would believe him. But if he left them without justification, the blame would fall on Naruto."- one of our shinobi went mad and murdered him. That's it, I don't want to
hear anyone here speaking about this. Understood?" Hiruzen couldn't just leave the blame on a 5-year-old.
"Understood," they said all in usion.
'That troublesome kid...' thought the Clan head of the Nara clan. The man had a black-haired ponytail and a scar across his right cheek and one on his forehead. The Nara clan was famous for their high IQ, they were the smartest clan in Konoha.
There were other Clan heads present that thought the same thing, such as - Akimichi Clan, Inuzuka Clan, Aburame clan, Hyuuga Clan, etc.
"Now, onto more important things..." said the Hokage.
I know that the first 12 years of Naruto's life will be pretty basic, but I hope you can read through it. After that, I promise it will get more interesting.
Oh, and I'll try to post 3-4 chapters a week.
bye!
