Konoha

It was a quiet and peaceful night in the village of Konoha except for one individual. The individual was a young child, five years old snow white hair and red eyes. If you looked past what was sealed inside of him you would compare him to the Nidaime Hokage. The problem was what was sealed inside of him, the Kyuubi. That's why he was running as fast as his little legs could carry him. He was being chased by a mob of villagers to finish off what the Yondaime Hokage started. They thought if they killed the child the beast would follow.

Naruto ran as fast as he could, turning down alleys, hiding behind trash cans; he was doing whatever he could to get away from them. You could see the tears streaming down his face as he ran, turning his red eyes even redder. Naruto had been running for far too long now and he could feel it in his legs with every step he took. He didn't know if it was from fear or exhaustion. He could hear them gaining on him, the knives being thrown, the curses to catch the demon. He didn't dare turn around because he didn't want to know how many more people had decided to join the fun. He couldn't go on anymore and stumbled, his legs feeling like cement at this point so he decided to try and jump down the storm drain in front of him. He could just barely fit his tiny body down there. With one last desperate push of his legs he dove and came up just short of the drain. He looked at the two more feet in front of him he was that close. He made a desperate attempt to crawl forward but as soon as he reached his hand out a kunai was stabbed through it.

"We finally got the demon trapped in a corner and look he even picked out his own casket." A villager in the back said with a smirk on his face.

"Anything you want to say demon before we finish what the Yondaime started?" The leader amongst them, an average built man who sold cheap quality swords to young genin, said with a crazed smile on his face.

He knew not to say anything, it never helped. He knew he was going to die here and he wouldn't give them the satisfaction of crying or pleading. At times like this he really wished he was the demon that they thought him to be.

The kunai was ripped from his hand and he was kicked onto his back. He looked to the sky as a few raindrops fell to his face washing the tears away.

"We asked you a question demon!" Another villager said this one fat and carrying a bat. He recognized him from the butcher shop.

"Answer us!" The leader yelled his face twisting into one of rage at being ignored.

"What fox got your tongue?" A civilian said from the left. Naruto could see the bottle of alcohol in one hand and rocks in the other.

The word fox struck a thought into the child as he lay there. Fox? Demon? It was slowing making sense. The demon fox Kyuubi. They thought he was Kyuubi because he was born the day the fox attacked? No he couldn't be the Kyuubi, the beast was killed by the Yondaime. Unless he couldn't kill the beast, but that still didn't explain why they thought he was the Kyuubi. If the was indeed the Kyuubi it made sense now. The way they looked at him, called him demon, monster, treated him; but if he was the Kyuubi why poke the beast when the beast could easily kill him. He chuckled a little that turned into a full blow laugh. Maybe it was because he knew he would die or maybe it was because he was in shock. The laugh continued to grow as the villagers looked at him, looking back at them his eyes flicking in and out.

"You think it's funny!" The leader yelled louder than before the veins on his neck bulging. A civilian in the back whisper to the leader to shut the demon up before the ANBU came.

A kick was launched to his chest to get him to be quiet, but it continued. Maybe he was laughing at himself. The kick did nothing to calm the villages down, another kick to the chest, a stomp, a knife to the leg, a punch to the face and a kick to the head. Though it all he laughed, the villagers started to get worried when he didn't whimper or cry out, but continued to laugh. The rain continued to fall washing the blood away and he could see it flowing down the drain. He coughed and spit the blood out of his mouth and smiled at them, a terrifying sight with the blood running down his head and bloody teeth.

"You want to know what's so funny?" he asked through a mouthful of blood. It was getting harder to breath now and he kept coughing up blood. He didn't wait for a response. Coughing more blood up and spitting it out. "You call me demon and monster… while you attack me. If I was this demon… that you believe me to be… you think I would just sit here and take it…? You would all be dead… if I was this monster. No… right now you're the monsters… attacking and trying to kill a kid… I could only wish I was the Kyuubi right now…. so I could finish off what was started five years ago." He struggled to speak blood filling his lungs he could barely breathe but he had to say his peace. His eyes were getting heavy now blood running into them.

"You'll die for what you just said demon!" The leader spoke in a quiet tone a look of pure anger and hatred on his face.

Naruto could hear them getting closer but he didn't bother to open his eyes. A knife slashed his legs, bats broke more bones, and rocks pummeling his skin, a kick that pushed him closer to the drain. His eyes opened to look at them in his last moments of life.

"Normally I'll ask you if you had any last words, but it appears to me you've used them all up. Now this time stay dead!" The leader said again with a smile on his face as he brought his sword up.

Naruto could see the sword falling towards his neck to cut his head off. It seemed like everything was in slow motion. Moments ago he knew he was going to die but seeing the sword falling towards his neck to really finish the job scared him. Everything was moving slow now, the raindrops, the villager with the sword, the old man that just landed on the building masked men arriving after. He could see the old man signal his men with the only hand available and then jump from the building. He could see an earth wall start to rise in front of him. He could see so clearly and he could see his escape, with one final cough he rolled towards and down the drain then blacked out.

Few seconds before

Danzo arrived and looked at the face of a truly powerful child being tortured. Not just because of the Kyuubi but because of his ancestors. If only the foolish village knew who the child really was, the blood that runs through his veins, and if only Sarutobi gave him the boy when he asked. He would have made sure he was protected; all of Root would have been the child's security blanket. Sarutobi was just too old and weak to have the boy protected and to know the truth. If he couldn't protect the child from civilians how could he hope to protect the child from shinobi of other villages. Danzo looked at the civilians then back at the child behind all that blood he would see the eyes his sensei once had.

"Kill them." Was signaled by Danzo, he could see the sword raised to the separate the head from the body. But he was a shinobi and the pace the civilian was moving Danzo would be there in time. He dropped from the building and erected an earth wall to stop the sword in its descent. Then he saw the boy drop down the drain.

"Follow the drain and retrieve him, bring him back to medical facility at the base." He didn't need to turn around to see two of his agents disappear.

"Dog send a message to Jiraiya and the Fire Lord that information is about to be released and they will need to be there. Tell the Fire Lord that it has to do with the scroll Tobirama-sensei sent him all those years ago. Also try to find Tsunade tell her to be there as well it's about the last relative she has left."

Dog nodded but before he left he took a glance at the drain and muttered a soft "Sorry sensei" before he too was gone.

"Burn the bodies of everyone that's dead; take the others to Root TI." Danzo said looking around at the bodies of the civilians on the ground, some dead others would be wishing they were by time he was through with them.

Danzo turned around to head back to the Root base to find the scrolls that he would need. The village would have a bombshell dropped on it before the week was out. They would all know the pain they put a child through whom they thought of as a beast.

With Naruto

Naruto opened his eyes to find himself in a cave. He tried to sit up but noticed he was wrapped up, he could also only see out of one eye.

"ohhh.. You're awake?" He heard from everywhere at once. But he couldn't sit up to see who it was or move around.

"Stop trying to move I'm still healing your injuries." He tried to look around again but thought better of it. He just wanted to get a look at who was healing him. He couldn't see them but he could hear them from everywhere at once.

"Who's there?" Naruto struggled to get out his eyes moving around to try and catch a glimpse of the individual.

"You'll know soon enough. He he he." Was said in the same silly and playful voice.

"Wake him and tell him that Naruto is awake." This was said in a much darker and raspy voice.

"How do you know my name?" Naruto asked trying to see if he could find the source of the now 2 people.

"All of your question will be answer." The same dark voice said.

"Hey naruto what's it like to poop huh?"

Naruto was taken back by the question of the person healing him. He tried to look around again to see if he could spot a face but he still couldn't. Starting to get irritated Naruto tried to sit up with all the force he could muster. He fell off the bed, gasping in pain as he looked down to see himself in a white body cast. Blood started to well up around him from the wounds that he received at the hands of the villagers.

"I told you not to move" Naruto looked at the white body cast, shocked. When it started to close and formed a spiral shape face. He coughed again when he tried to speak.

"This time don't move while I heal you." The playful voice said as Naruto was enclosed into the body cast or person whatever it was.

"What or who are you?" Naruto asked when he was back inside of the thing. He could feel his wounds slowly start to close again.

"Zetsu finish healing him. I'll answer all questions from here." A new voice said, this one carrying more authority. Naruto looked to the source of the voice to see an old man walking towards him sharingan eyes blazing.

"Yes Madara-Sama." The now identified Zetsu said.

Naruto looked towards Madara with a curious expression on his face.

"Who are you and where am I?" Naruto asked calmly still trying to look around to find anything that would stand out.

"Where you are isn't important right now but my name is Uchiha Madara and I'm your great grandfather." Madara said his sharingan boring into Naruto's red eyes.

"I see he doesn't just have Uchiha blood but Senju blood in him as well" Madara thought with a smile on his face.

Naruto looked towards Madara with an unreadable expression on his face. " So I'm an Uchiha?" Naruto said his red eyes meeting Madara sharingan ones.

"That's not all you are boy. You also have Senju and Uzumaki blood flowing through your veins but from what I can tell they have both merged. They have been keeping your Uchiha chakra suppressed along with a certain bijuu."

Naruto was shocked to know what he was a Senju as well. He had heard stories about the Senju and Uchiha and knew that they formed the village together. But if he was an Uchiha and Senju why they did call him a Uzumaki and why was no one in the village told of his lineage.

"You weren't told who you are, or what you are for your own protection. But that obviously did no good." Madara said with a snort. "From what I can tell, your great grandfather on your father's side had to be Tobirama you look to much like him for it to be anyone else. I'm your ancestor from your mother's side."

"How did you find me? " Naruto asked curiously in too much shock to say anything else.

"I've had Zetsu track you since you were born. I would have been had you if it wasn't for the village ANBU and Root always keeping an eye on you. Zetsu has been attached to you since birth." As Madara said that a white Zetsu's spore fell of his body.

"I've been tracking you since your mother was born. Your great grandmother produced a seal that suppressed the Uchiha genes in my daughter, your grandmother. Which in turn did it to her daughter your mother but Zetsu has been there every step of the way. I'm sure your mother would have done it to you if it wasn't for Obito extracting the Kyuubi from her during your birth that resulted in her death and you becoming the next Kyuubi Jinchuuriki." Madara said with an impassive face, but Naruto could hear the emotion in his voice.

Naruto listened to the story carefully trying to piece everything together and filling some stuff away for later. Now he knew for sure that he was the Kyuubi or at least the Kyuubi was sealed inside of him. He looked down at his wounds that was almost finished healing. He could breathe a lot easier now.

"Who's this Obito guy that caused my life to be a living hell?" Naruto said looking Madara straight in the eye Sharingan meeting Sharingan for the first time. Madara smirked at the second stage of the Uchiha clan's famed doujutsu.

"I see Zetsu was right, you have unlocked the sharingan and the second stage already. That's no small feat for a child as young as yourself."

Naruto looked confused at that until he noticed that his vision had changed back to when he was in the alley with the villagers. Blinking a couple times he tried to get his eyes to go back to the way they were but it didn't help.

Madara noticed him blinking a lot and chuckled. "You'll have to stop channeling chakra to your eyes if you want to turn off your sharingan. But we will go over all of that tomorrow. I need to rest and you should as well. Zetsu bring him to me tomorrow." Madara said as he left that part of the cave to head who knows where. Zetsu nodded before forcing Naruto to sleep.

Next Day

Naruto awoke to find he could move his body and that he was in a different place than he was yesterday. Looking around he noticed Madara sitting in a chair of sorts with roots sticking out of his back. Strange he didn't notice those yesterday. Sitting up he walked towards Madara whose eyes snapped open.

"I see you're awake and fully healed. I'll have to speak to the Kyuubi about that it shouldn't have taken that long for you to heal." Madara said looking thoughtful.

"So I have the Fox sealed inside of me then?" Naruto asked with a blank expression.

"You do. Your father the Yondaime Hokage sealed it into you before his death. Before you go hating him know that he had no other choice, but if you want to blame someone, blame Obito or as he calls himself, Tobi." Madara said seeing the flash of anger flashed across Naruto's face and his sharingan flickered.

Naruto frowned at that." Who is this, Obito?" Naruto asked the anger still in his voice.

"He was once a student of mine that I set on the path he is on now when I had no more faith left in the shinobi world. But sitting in this hideout I've come to regret that. I tried to stop him when I found out he was heading to Konoha but my body was to weak to do much. That's why I'll train you so you can correct the wrongs that I've made in life. I've accomplished my goals now I will see my legacy live on in you." Madara said with a small smile on his face.

Naruto nodded. He wanted Obito to feel the pain he felt because it was all his fault that his life ended up as the way it did. If it wasn't for Obito then he would still have a mother and a father. Resolve forming in Naruto's mind he couldn't wait to put an end to Obito. "When do we start?" Naruto asked sharingan spinning in his eyes.

Madara nodded a small on his face. "Soon. First we need to speak with the Kyuubi and get your body fit to train. Zetsu gather the supplies I asked for." Zetsu nodded and sank underground to retrieve whatever it was the would be needed.
