New year, new month, new aspiration and a new story. A thousand thanks for giving this new story of mine a chance. Some ideas just sprouted in my head and I decided to start writing this but have no fear cause I won't be abandoning 'Naruto: An Uprising Shinobi' as its latest chapter will be dropping sometime soon (If things go well), if you have seen that one I suggested you do cause you may just like it _

Chapter 1
Young Naruto had a lot of questions while growing up, 'Who are my parents?', 'Where are they?', 'Am I a demon?', 'Why do the villagers hate him?' These questions were asked of the Hokage time without number but the answers were always the same.
'I can't tell you yet', 'They died in the Kyubi attack', 'You're Naruto', 'Give it some time, they will come around'
These were the answers he always got until one day, on the night of his twelfth birthday when a mysterious package was found at his doorstep with an attached note which said, 'Keep secret from Lord Hokage.'
Curious yet happy that someone left him a birthday gift, the young boy took the package into his apartment and tore away the wrappings with gusto before flipping the covers over revealing…
"Books?" The Uzumaki muttered, his excitement morphing into confusion, "Why send a bunch of- wait, there are scrolls too?" His confusion grew as he spotted several scrolls of different colors with a particular one being white but also bearing his name in block letters.
Getting a 'Read me first' vibe from said scroll, the blonde grabbed onto it and after a bit of unfurling read its contents.
Dear Naruto,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and if not there are some health pills in the scroll labeled 'Medicine', take some and by tomorrow you will feel as bright as sunshine.
Now you are probably wondering who sent you this package and why?
For safety reasons I won't be leaving a name but just know that I'm an Uzumaki like yourself and yes, the Uzumaki is a clan. Our village and country was wiped out by a united front of rival nations but a few of our clansmen did manage to flee and survive (Read the book titled 'The Uzumaki Clan' for more details, it's a thick red colored book)
Naruto took a look and found said book before resuming.
Now why was this package sent to you?
It's because for the past three years I've been secretly watching over you and to be quite frank I'm severely unhappy with the unjust treatment imposed on you by the people of Konoha. Such as exorbitant price tags, sale of expired, rotten or poisoned produce, false accusations, name calling, social bullying, night raids and the bi-weekly breaking ins (I resolved the last two by installing security measures round your apartment room which you will come to understand after reading volume 1 of the Fuinjutsu books)
You probably reported these events to Lord Hokage only to get a reply of 'It will soon get better or they will come around and stop'
Trust me it won't, not until you take matters into your own hands and the only way you can do that is by becoming a powerhouse in both brains and brawn.
The books included in the package cover a variety of subjects which must be covered if one is to survive this kill or be killed world. The colored scrolls lacking titles each contain different necessities, Green – Food Stuff, Blue – Clothes, Red – Kunai and Shuriken sets, Purple – List of Jutsu (both Normal and Special Jutsu), Black – Sealing supplies and Gray – Toiletries.
At this point you're wondering how you going to read everything before graduation, have no fear as that is still three years away unless you attempt early graduation (which I advice you don't) but I did leave you something to help speed up your learning rate. In the purple scroll is a jutsu called the 'Shadow Clone Jutsu', basically it creates a solid clone who upon being dispelled transfers everything its learnt to the user so you can creates five clones and have them read the books while you attend the academy, when the day is done and they're dispelled you will remember everything they read down to the last letter.
The blonde strongly resisted the urge to grab said scroll and began learning, 'Letter first, cool jutsu later.'
Now onto whom your parents are and why the villages hate you.
If Naruto wasn't focused before then he was now.
I can only said who you mother is as you finding out who your father is at this moment could be bad for you.
'Was Dad a dangerous guy?' The boy wondered before resuming.
Your mother is no other than Kushina Uzumkai, the Red Hot Habanero and Princess of Whirpool Country. She was evacuated to Konoha shortly before the fall of our country, there she met your father and had you before passing away during the Kyubi attack.
'She's dead…' He always suspected it but for it to be confirmed, 'Jiji, why you didn't tell me?'
The reason why you are hated is also related to the said attack but before I dive into that lets explain some terms now so that you will have an easy time understanding.
The Kyubi is a tailed beast, a gigantic mass of chakra given consciousness and there are 8 more in the world, now over years shinobi having been trying to harass the power of these beasts which they succeeded by sealing them into individuals which were later called Jinchuriki. Your mother is the 2nd Jinchuriki of the Kyubi, the 1st being Mito Uzumaki the wife of the 1st Hokage.
Now on the day you were born, your mother got attacked by a mysterious individual who was after the tailed beast. Kushina weakened from childbirth couldn't put up a decent fight so the Kyubi was ripped out of her (a process which ended up taking her life) and let loose on the village where it was resisted by the village shinobi force.
The 4th Hokage meanwhile was locked in battle with its master for quite some time before managing to overpower his adversity and send him running for the hills. With that one dealt his attention went to the Kyubi, but there was only one way of restraining a tailed beast and that was to seal them into a human. Kushina was dead so a replacement had to be found but only an Uzumaki could house the beast without exploding and the closest one happened to be you her son.
With a heavy heart the 4th summoned the Death God and sealed the Kyubi into the barely day old child at the cost of his life. His dying wish was for young Naruto to be seen as hero for imprisoning the beast.
If his wish was respected, you probably won't be reading this.
Wipe those tears boy and take destiny into your own hand.
Become strong and seek your true home.
Yours faithfully
Those of the Swirling Tides
