(5 years Later)
A short red haired boy was sitting alone on a swing in the park watching others kids play. In the past he had attempted to join them but they had always said they were not allowed to play with him. He was deeply hurting because no one seems to care about him in the village and everyone hates him. Even for a five year old boy naruto is very cautious, he's smart and notice things going around him.
'Why do they hate me? why don't I have parents?' thought naruto as he looked at entrance of the park where parents came and to take their children home after giving him a look of disgust.
Tears swelled up in young Naruto's eyes as he felt pain in his eyes so he rubbed them but the pain didn't subside and suddenly people become black and white to him with having blue inside their bodies which confused naruto greatly he didn't know what's going on with him. So he quickly walked upto the fountain in the park and looked in water and observed that his eyes are now changed.
His eyes are now of red in colour with two black comma's in each eye. 'what happened to my eyes? what is this?' thought Naruto.
'It is same as those ninija who roam around streets that jiji told me about. What is it called again?' thought Naruto trying hard to remember what those eyes are called.
He closed his eyes and sighed as it's getting late and he remembered that his jiji warned him not to stay out after evening so he decided to go home and later talk to jiji about his eyes unknown to him they changed back to the normal ocean blue as he started walking towards his apartment given to him by the hokage few months ago.
Naruto was continued walking without looking up as he was not interested in hearing people calling him names and glared they are giving him but he was put out of his musings when he bumped into someone.
Naruto looked up to the man and he was a member of the police force that konoha has and he recognised them due to a fan symbol on his back.
"Sorry I wasn't looking forgive me please don't hurt me" mumbled Naruto to the man
"Oh I don't think I should, you are a disrespectful little whelp who needs to be put down for the good of the village" the man said and Naruto stared in horror as his eyes turned red with three tomoe in either side. "You know I think most people will cheer for what I am going to do" he said taking out a katana from his side.
'My eyes are same as him am I related to this clan?' thought Naruto as he started to back away from the said man seeing a katana in his hand.
"No please don't hurt me I'm sorry I won't do it again" said Naruto by washing his hands in air as a sign of surrender.
"I think it's time to finish what that fool Yondaime started if we uchiha can't get the power in you, you won't get to have it as well. Now die you demon" yelled the man and brought down his katana to kill Naruto. Naruto closed his eyes waiting for the impact of the sword and pain that had to come.
CLANG...!
A song was heard when the sword was blocked by another and a weasel mask ANBU stood in front of Naruto.
"Naruto-kun what are you doing here? Isn't it getting late?" asked weasel
"Sorry I was in the park and got distracted while playing on the swing and I accidentally bumped into him while I was returning home" said naruto
"What are you doing here Itachi?" asked the man angrily
"Nothing I was on guard duty but I think you have done enough to guarantee a trip to T and I department" said weasel masked anbuas naruto moved behind weasel for protection.
"Itachi, you know what he is, just let me finish him. It is because of that filth, that we Uchiha, have been watched more carefully and had our district compressed until we are almost uncomfortable" the man spat.
"I don't care for your reasons but you will not harm naruto-kun anymore" said weasel and grabbed the man and turned to naruto "Go ahead naruto-kun, I'll deliver him to Tand I after that Eagle will come to guard you" said weasel
"Hai thank you" said naruto and weasel disappeared and naruto started walking towards his apartment and felt relieved but his fears soon returned when he heard another voice behind him.
"Well that got rid of your bodyguard, now you are all alone. Normally I would appose working with that man, but we had the same goal and nobody else was willing to help. But don't worry I am not going to kill you, I wouldn't want to risk freeing the beast and returning it's power. Instead I think I will just take you far from here, so you can either find your own way back or preferably die in what ever way you see fit" the man said. And before Naruto could even call for help he was knocked unconscious with a swift punch to the face.
"It is time that we got rid of the demon from Konoha once and for all" the man said before tying Naruto up and stuffing him into a sack and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
(With Itachi)
Itachi arrived at Anbu head quarters with his Uchiha prisoner and took him straight to be handed to Ibiki.
"Ah Weasel I thought you had an easy assignment tonight, I didn't expect to see you here" the scarred torture specialist said.
"Well, tonight my easy job was not as easy as I thought it would be. I was supposed to be watching young Naruto-kun when Kaizu here decided that my charge didn't deserve to live any more" Itachi informed Ibiki.
"That's not true, in fact I wasn't going to harm the boy at all, I just want him out of the village" Uchiha Kaizu said.
"What are you talking about, I saw you draw a blade and attack on Naruto-kun" Itachi said.
"Maybe I just wanted to scare the little brat" Kaizu replied.
"Regardless the punishment for attempted murder of Naruto Uzumaki is death, you should be aware of that, seeing as you are a member of the Konoha police force." Ibiki said.
"I'm not scared of your mind games, you would have better luck getting me to break with that snake whore you allow to work here" Kaizu spat.
"Anko Mitarashi, happens to be a good friend of mine and I would advise not calling her that in my presence" Ibiki said.
"Or what? You will kill me sooner" Kaizu laughed.
"He is clearly drunk so we are not supposed to kill him, but may I recommend a few hours in the torture room with Anko" Itachi recommended.
"Why not, should be entertaining at least. Do you want to stick around?" Ibiki asked.
"No I need to get back to watching over Naruto and hand over my charge to Izumi, kid get's into all sorts of trouble and it is rather amusing to watch" Itachi said smiling beneath his mask
"Have you ever thought of talking to him when you are not on missions?" Ibiki asked.
"I am not supposed to, Hokage-sama wants the boy to grow up like any other child and he doesn't think my influence would help that. And my father has forbade anyone to befriend the boy, it is a shame too because I think he would be a good friend for Sasuke" Itachi said.
"Same line Kakashi got, he was not allowed to have prolonged contact with the boy until he became an official ninja. I don't understand it myself, the kid has no friends and is lonely, kami he's just five and Hokage-sama is worried that Kakashi might teach the boy more than he is ready for. The only thing Kakashi could teach anyone is how to be over two hours late all the time" Ibiki laughed.
"Anyway I have wasted to much time here already, goodbye Ibiki-san" Itachi said before he disappeared to locate Naruto in a shunshin.
Itachi arrived at Naruto's apartment, he was sure the young blond would have made it home by now. But Itachi arrived to find Naruto's home completely dark and Naruto nowhere to be seen and was about to move out when a raven haired girl with eagle mask appeared in sunshin
"Well Itachi-kun I'm here to take over as guard duty" said eagle but looked around only to find Itachi alone "Where is he?" asked eagle
"Don't know Izumi when I took Kaizu to T and I, Naruto was already on his way" said Itachi
"Damn, you go and look around Ichiraku and Park, I myself will go look around Hokage monument and Forest behind it as he sometimes used to hide in there" said Izumi
"Do you sense his chakra?" asked Itachi
"I'm afraid not, let's look around if nothing found. Meet me at hokage tower in 30 minutes" said Izumi
"Please be alright naruto-kun" said Itachi and both disappeared in sunshin to look for naruto, Itachi looked at Ichiraku Ramen and in the park as well as surrounding area but to his frustration he found nothing so after looking for half an hour he sunshined to hokage tower only to be met with Izumi
"Any luck?" he asked immediately
"No he's not in northern part of the village" said Izumi
"I think he's missing from the village, let's go and ifnorm hokage-sama about this" said Itachi and both went inside the building to meet up with the hokage and inform him of current situation.
(In hokage office)
The Hokage was reading one of his favorite books written by his student and the moment there was a knock on his door the old Sarutobi quickly hid the book from sight in fear of it being one of the many kunoichi who opposed Jiraiya's masterpieces. "Enter" Hiruzen called once his book was well hidden.
"Ohh weasel, eagle what are you doing here? I thought both of you were busy with thr assignment?" asked hokage
"That's why we are here hokage-sama" said Izumi
"After nightfall I prevented another attack on Naruto-kun which I prevented and took the culprit to TI while naruto-kun continued his journey towards his home" said Itachi
"We looked everywhere hokage-sama and we can't find him" finshed Izumi
"Are you saying that Naruto-kun is missing?" asked hokage
"Exactly sir, we don't think he's hiding as we checked all his hiding spots" said Itachi and Izumi nodded.
"Could it be that Naruto has run away?" The Hokage asked.
"I don't think so hokage-sama everything is in tact in his home and in his room so I think he's kidnapped hokage-sama" said Izumi
"That's not good find kakashi and start searching for him, we need to find young Naruto immediately" said hokage
"Hai hokage-sama" said both Itachi and Izumi and exited the room after giving a respectful bow to the hokage.
(Two Days Later)
Kakashi walked into the Hokage's office with a defeated look on his face.
"Ah Kakashi-kun, tell me you found Naruto-kun" the Hokage asked pleadingly.
"I'm sorry Hokage-sama, we looked everywhere, search parties are still looking but not even the Inuzuka search teams can find any trace of him, all that we know is he left the village with someone from Konoha. And they were skilled enough to loose any hunter ninja or tracking team's we sent after them" Kakashi said.
"Then I guess it is too late... I'm sorry Minato, I'm sorry Kushina, I have failed you in every way" the old Hokage said sadly.
"I hope they'll go easy on us when we reach afterlife" said kakashi and Hiruzen visibly paled at prospect of facing both yellow flash and red flash.
"We need to redouble our efforts immediately!" he said quickly trying to get rid of images of certain red head
"I had a similar response, I will inform the team's at once" Kakashi said before leaving the room via a shunshin.
"Good luck, I do not want to have to tell Jiraiya about this. I promised Jiriaya I would keep you safe Naruto, I am sorry where ever you are" Hiruzen said as he looked out over the stone faces of the Hokage monument.
Reaction to Naruto's disappearance was far from one of concern. On the contrary most of the village seemed to be in great spirits.
Nobody but the top ranking Jounin and Anbu had been informed of Naruto's kidnapping, but the villagers were just happy because they had not seen Naruto for a few days.There was of course some people in the village who were worried. The old man and daughter that operated Naruto's favorite place to eat knew something was wrong when he didn't show up for any ramen in two days.
(Land of Forests)
A feral looking brown haired man carrying a large sack was jumping from tree to tree. 'At the speed of an five year old child it would take years for the demon to return to Konoha from here, that is if he ever found his way' the thought smirking victoriously.
Suddenly there was movement in the bag he was carrying. "Oh so you are awake again, but don't worry I wont need to knock you out again, I think this would be a perfect place to leave you. After all I still have a mission to do, and I wouldn't want to upset Hokage-sama would I" the man said before jumping down from the tree and tossing Naruto to the ground the bag opening around him.
'Would you look at the, the demon has healed all the wounds, that might help him to survive. Oh well I guess I cant luck out completely' the man thought to himself.
"Hey!! who are you bastard? why did you take me away from my home?" yelled Naruto in accusation but noticed the man was wearing konoha shinobi and has two red marks on his cheeks.
The man just chuckled "Ohh I'm afraid please don't kill me" said the man in mocking tone while Naruto just glared with as much anger as he could manage.
"So now what are you going to do kill me?" asked naruto
"Nahh that's way to easy for you demon, I'll leave you here to die in anyway you seem fit" said the man as he kicked naruto in stomach which made him cough some air and he himself jumped on trees.
"Good luck demon, After all you killed my brother" said the man
"I'm going to make it back to konoha and will tell jiji and he will make you pay" yelled naruto
The man stopped and jumped in front of naruto "Let's see if you can do it or not, I'm Kai Inuzuka, see you in konoha demon" said kai and knocked naruto out and quickly removing the bindings on his arm's and legs before jumping off into the trees.
Naruto awoke in the middle of a forest floor his head was ringing. "Oh man what happened to me?" Naruto asked nobody in particular.Then it all came flooding back to him. The kidnapping, being carried in a large bag and every time he woke up being knocked back out. And finally being dumped in the middle of a forest completely alone.

"Man I don't know where I am, or how I will ever get home, what am I supposed to do?" Naruto yelled hoping someone would hear him. Unfortunately he had no such luck.
'Guess I am just going to have to find a way to get back to Konoha later, I need to find some people first' Naruto thought but his mind was soon driven from that frame of mind when he felt his stomach growl.
"Oh man I am hungry, I have to find something to eat quickly" Naruto said and began frantically looking around for anything that looked remotely edible.
He could not see much, despite it being the middle of the day the density of the forest made it hard to see far in front of him. As far as anything edible went he was again out of luck. There was nothing, just trees. As far as the blond could see there weren't even any beetles in the area that he could force himself to eat
'Looks like I have to keep moving and hope to find something while I move' Naruto thought and he stood up and began running through the forest as quickly as his small five year old legs could carry him.
