Firstly, I want to talk about Naruto's Amaterasu. "dreadix" said that Naruto's eye shouldn't be bleeding after the use of Amaterasu (He did explain). Now, I don't know much about eyes nor really how the eyes in Naruto work either. During the anime, Sasuke was shown using Amaterasu with and without his eye bleeding. It stopped bleeding after he changed his eyes, but there was a scene in Sasuke and Naruto's fight against Kaguya where he used the Amaterasu and his eye bled. I'm not sure if it was because he already got the Rinnegan (His Rinnegan eye releases the Amaterasu). I added the bleeding eye scene for dramatic effects.
It is debatable whether his eye should bleed or not, and I hope you can look through this little scene if it is incorrect.
Also, "Solitare1", I will take your advice :)

The Legend of Uchiha Naruto
Naruto was walking down the ROOT ANBU hallways in his ANBU attire. He was walking at a normal pace toward Danzo's "throne", he was being called for duty by him. He walked and walked until he found himself before Danzo. The last couple of days, one wouldn't prefer to as "normal". He had to create a clone that would last a very long time until it dies. Not only that, he had to move all of his belongings to a new place inside the ANBU headquarters. He got a new uniform and was and got to know a lot of new guys, well not exactly because they didn't have any emotions, no guilt, no love, not hate and it amused Naruto how a human being can be like that it was defying all human psychology.
But 2 guys particularly stood out: Shin and Sai. Shin was around a couple of years older than him and Sai, while Sai and Naruto were probably the same age. It didn't look like Sai had emotions, but the odd one was Shin. It was like he was forcing his emotions on Sai, and they look like brothers even.
Everything else was as he expected.
Not only that, he was told who his parents were last night, and to say the least, he was pissed, but after Danzo reassured him that his parents, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina were true shinobi and heroes for sacrificing themselves for the village, he wasn't that pissed, just a little unpleased. He asked him why did he have the Sharingan if none of his parents were Uchihas. He was told by Danzo that he wasn't sure. It was probably one of his grandparents that was an Uchiha if not both.
It was safe to say, he took it calmly.
"What do you need me for, Danzo-sama?" asked Naruto, just as emotionless as the other ROOT Anbus around them.
"I'm sending you on a mission. You are to send a scroll to the Tsuchikage. Nothing more, nothing less, is that clear?" asked Danzo with his unreadable expression.
"Clear, Danzo-sama." replied Naruto.
"Good, you'll go with team Tora." with a nod, Naruto left for his room to prepare.
Naruto was running with his squad through a forest. Apparently, they were really close to the Stone country and some Stone shinobi were waiting for them wasn't sure how this was going to play out since his father killed a lot of them during The Third Shinobi War. He didn't know what was in the scroll, so he decided to ask his captain.
"Captain, what is in the scroll?" asked Naruto.
"Danzo-sama is requesting a hidden alliance with The Hidden Stone Village." replied the commander of the mission.
Naruto decided not to comment further as he understood these guys probably couldn't keep up a conversation. Soon they went through a clearing with a rocky road ahead and three squads of Stone shinobi. Naruto immediately realized they were in deep shit and prepared himself if said shit hits the fan.
"Rely this on to the Tsuchikage." said one of the Anbus as he threw the scroll which the other shinobi caught easily.
"I will." the Iwa shinobi said as he made a weird signal with his free hand. The next thing they knew, kunai with explosive tags started flying toward Konoha's team. Naruto was able to get out of the way fast enough, along with a few others who saw his body language and realized what was happening. Others, well... they kicked the bucket. The explosion sent guts everywhere, covering Naruto and the others.
"Tsk." Naruto made an annoyed sound as he removed a long intestine that was laying around his neck almost as a necklace would. He looked around and realized their captain didn't make it. It wasn't a good situation they were in.
"Crow. Take out as many as you can. If you see fit, run." said the Ox masked Anbu. Naruto was gifted with the codename "Crow". Ironic, isn't it? Danzo gave him the codename just the other day. Also, Naruto was an important figure, being a jinchuuriki and they couldn't risk him dying on a mission, so Danzo ordered all of them that if the mission went south, to protect Naruto at all costs.
"Got it." he had no problems taking orders, from smart people at least. If it had been one of his classmates commanding him in this that kind of situation, he would prefer to commit suicide. Naruto ran through them like a hot knife through butter with his ninja. A lot of people noticed it and realized that it would be better to take him out at all costs. A lot of Iwa shinobi started rushing toward Naruto.
"OX! We have to save him!" Sheep-masked Anbu shouted while fighting with an Iwa shinobi with swords.
"Don't worry. I personally checked his strength. Look, he isn't even using his Sharingan." said Ox as he had his own fight to attend to. And it was true, Naruto had yet to use his Sharingan.
Meanwhile, the Iwa shinobi fighting Ox looked at him in pure horror. He heard about the Uchiha massacre not too long ago. The Uchiha clan was one of the two most feared clans in the whole world, and to encounter the sole survivor, Uchiha Sasuke, he think it was. And he was still no more than a kid. Just how powerful was he?
With Naruto, the situation wasn't beautiful, for the Stone shinobi that is. He activated his Sharingan and began slaughtering them one by one. He was dodging swiftly as they tried their best to pierce him.
"This is becoming annoying." He weaved a few hand signs "- Suiton: Hahonryuu (Water Release: Destruction Torrent)." One of his opponents quickly weaved hand-signs of his own and shouted, "Katon Gokagyuu no jutsu. (Fireball jutsu)!"
But instead of Naruto releasing water, he released fire. A huge fire barrage that was completely overpowering the Iwa shinobi's fireball looked pathetic in comparison. They were all too shaken to move away in time. If not, they accepted their deaths, and as the fire embraced them, they downgraded to mere ash.
"Half down, another half to go," Naruto said as a few other squads of Iwa shinobi came rushing down their way. Speaking of the devil.
"We have to retreat!" shouted Naruto to his subordinates. He ran to them quickly killing their opponents with surprise attacks.
"Ox, we have to retreat," said Naruto firmly. Ox and the Sheep looked at each other before nodding. "Ox, remember we were trained for this," said Sheep. Ox looked at him before smiling, totally ignoring Sheep.
"You have to retreat, we'll hold them off as long as we c-" two kunais with explosive tags pierced each of Ox's kneecaps. Naruto grabbed Sheep and jumped to the side, saving both of them. A loud explosion followed, and Naruto narrowed his eyes as he saw Ox without legs from his knees down. The area around them was full of blood.
"Mom..? I want to go home, Mom... It's too scary, I don't want to die..." these were the last Ox said before dying. Sheep started screaming in a mix of anger and sadness, which completely shocked Naruto. Though he decided to flee.
"Sheep! Let's go!" shouted Naruto.
"You go. I'll murder those bastards to the last of them!" shouted Sheep back. He started running with his ninjato, murdering Iwa shinobi. Naruto realized that his actions will have grave consequences and flee the battlefield.
On his way back to Konoha, Naruto pondered why the Sheep cried or shouted. They were supposed to be emotionless. It didn't matter, for now, he would ask Danzo once he came back. Not only that, He was the only survivor as far as he knew, but one thing was clear to him; anybody from his that stayed there is 100% dead.
Now that he thought about it, he could've used his Mangekyou Sharingan, they would've won for sure, but they weren't sent to create a mess or scene. A single alliance request. Danzo informed him that this mission would go smoothly, guess what, it was not simple, and neither did it go smoothly...
"Danzo-sama, here to report on my mission. -" Naruto looked at Danzo who nodded "- Our squad was ambushed by Iwa forces. We were completely outnumbered and decided to flee. Unfortunately, some of my subordinates gave their lives to create an opening for me to escape. They didn't make it." stated Naruto without batting an eyelid.
Danzo nodded again, "Anything else?" Naruto stood still for a couple of seconds before asking, "Permission to speak freely?" asked Naruto, Danzo looked at him interested in what he had to say, so he permitted him. "During the end of the mission, Ox and Sheep didn't act like ROOT. Also, this mission seemed tense and suspicious. Perhaps you knew that it would happen like this?" Danzo smiled a truly happy smile.
"I'm surprised you caught on, to be honest. I indeed knew that it'd happen as it did. And they reacted like that because they were trainees, newbies if you will. And you are still one too, but I will put you to the final test soon. Though I don't think you will find it hard, seeing how you performed on your mission, I am pleased."
"Whatever you say, give me more missions, and keep them coming."
(One month later)
Naruto has done overall 2 C-rank missions, 25 B-rank, 56 A-rank, and surprisingly 1 S-rank, actually 2 S-ranked, if you count the time he murdered a lot of Danzo's Anbus.
He had experience. His last month was kinda rough, he had to kill his best buddy in a duel to the death. Danzo intentionally led someone to become his friend, partner, and brother in all but blood and then made them kill each other. Naruto killed him... It was not easy on him, but it was a great wake-up call. It disturbed him how easily he got over his death. His name was Yakumi. He was back to normal in a couple of days, with no crying, no mourning...
And then came the missions, he couldn't count how many times he should've been dead anymore. He had been to Iwa more times than he would dare admit; assassinations, inflations, staying undercover, and information gathering which most of the time involved seducing mature women into giving him intel.
Then it came to that stupid snake; Orochimaru, honestly, he felt like a damn messenger crow between the two of them, all summed up; he traveled the world for free and met a lot of famous, or wanted is the word, people. He had a mentor that was extremely powerful and was teaching him Wind Manipulation. He mastered Lightning Manipulation a long time ago.
He was currently chilling in his apartment when another Anbu entered the room. "You have been requested for a mission by Danzo-sama. Report to him directly." he said before disappearing.
Naruto got out of his bed, put his attire on, and walked out of the room. On his way there nothing interesting happened... No, something happened for sure. There was no Shin besides Sai, and now that he thought about it, he hasn't seen Shin in a while for now. He shrugged his shoulders.
'Probably Sai killed him, must be hard for him.' thought Naruto without much interest.
When he got to Danzo, he faced him saying, "You requested me, Danzo-sama."
"Indeed, Naruto. There's a little problem." Naruto raised a single brow "Your current "team" is taking a suspicious mission to the Land of Waves. The customer is lying about the mission's parameters. On the mission you'll probably encounter high-ranked shinobi." said Danzo.
"Good enough, wrong intel is always worse than no intel at all." Danzo nodded and Naruto continued "What about my clone though?"
"There's another bad news. Your clone had seemed to bend itself into its own persona. He is quite... annoying." said Danzo.
"So, where is he?" asked Naruto.
"Bring him in," stated Danzo suddenly. A... Naruto shunshined into existence, and he looked like... his old, old self. Wearing the same orange jump-suit he did a couple of months back. He had shorter hair and a headband strapped tightly on his forehead.
"I will become Hokage, believe it!" Naruto pinched his nose bridge and sighed loudly. His clone looked at him angrily. "What?! Just because I'm a clone doesn't mean I won't become Hokage, and then everyone will acknowledge me!" shouted his clone.
"Shut up... or I'll kill you." the original Naruto leaked a little bit of his KI and his clone almost filled his pants with that brown goo. You could see that he wasn't bluffing. He could always create a new clone to replace his dead one.
"I'll take care of the mission, Danzo." said Naruto dropping the "sama". It didn't matter how much Danzo tried to make Naruto emotionless, he just couldn't do it. He tried everything, but nothing worked. Though, from the reports he was receiving on Naruto, he looked like he was acting like a ROOT on missions, which was good.
"Tomorrow, 8:30 a.m., Village gates," said Danzo as Naruto left the room.
Hope it was good.
The part where I said "The sole survivor, Uchiha Sasuke..." is from the Iwa shinobi's perspective, of course, he knows about the Uchiha clan and its only survivor:
Uchiha Sasuke. He couldn't know Naruto was an Uchiha and so on.
I'm sure there are more things I'd wish to comment on in this chapter, but they just escaped my mind.
Oh, yeah. The scene where Ox dies is kinda... sad? Disturbing? If yes, then good since I intended to be as disturbing as I could bring it.
bye
