Naruto x Mei
Author notes: I'm going to change Mei's age a bit so she and Naruto aren't so far apart age wise. Mei will be 16 and during the first part. So don't worry she'll still be powerful in her own way, but it'll give her chance to improve. This will NOT be a harem so don't ask.

Chapter 1: Speed.
"Faster I have to be faster, I can't let myself be tortured again. COME ON I NEED TO BE FASTER!" He mentally shouted as the lightning in his eyes sparked with more intensity the ground beneath him froze before he took off in a blur.
"Get back here demon!" shouted a woman in her early thirties. "Kill the Demon make sure it gets its punishment!" yelled a scared Chunin that looked to be in his early twenties.
"Avenge the Yondaime Hokage!" A woman with red eyes and two tomeos in each eye shouted!
"Stop the demon!" shouted a male Jōnin with pale eyes to a group of people just ahead of where he was running.
"Catch him!" shouted a female Chunin with two red fang marks on her cheeks from the back of a mob. "Come on he went left!" shouted a grey haired old man as the demon slipped temporarily out of view.
Those watching the scene could only shake their heads in sympathy and kept moving. While few held any sympathy for the person being chased no one liked to see a child being abused even if he deserved it.
This child was none other than Naruto Uzumaki better known to those over the age of ten as the Kyūbi brat or just plain Kyūbi to the more ignorant populous of Konoha. He had a unique color of hair bright red that faded into bright yellow to some people the hair would look beautiful like untamed Fire that seemed to enhance his beautiful cerulean blue eyes.
As much as they wanted to help the young fiery haired boy, they never once did anything besides watch as he was abused, they always told themselves that today was the day that they'd stand up for him but when it came down to it they never lifted a finger. Today would turn to tomorrow and tomorrow would turn into a week, they felt bad for the poor six year old boy. No one should ever feel hated or unloved but they just couldn't bring themselves to help the poor child.
Naruto was doing his best to run from the crazed mob. It was his sixth birthday today and he felt like celebrating, because the old man told him he could attend the academy soon. Naruto was beyond happy as he always wanted to become a ninja like his hero the Yondaime Hokage and his jiji. He came out to the festival thinking today was a good day and despite warnings against going outside by the old man.
He was having a fun day today, he was playing games, and eating food without being overcharged, he was truly happy for once in his life. He was able to buy some clothes that weren't torn or worn out, he was even able to buy some books and scrolls on hunting, chakra control, even some Taijutsu. One of the vendors from outside the village even gave him a hunting knife since he looked eager to learn, the man even gave him a book on basic sealing saying that it would help him in the future.
Naruto hadn't won anything at the game stalls, but he simply enjoyed being able to play the games and be among the other citizens of Konoha he felt normal for once and he was happy. He even got to try some good food from foreign lands not that any of it compared to the wonder that was ramen. It was still light out when the trouble started.
Everything was going good, everything seemed normal, maybe they were finally accepting him and they'd finally apologize for treating him badly. He felt himself being pushed into a dark alley where he heard something coming, narrowly dodging the projectile he felt warm liquid running down his cheek. Looking up he saw a man glaring at him with hatred, "I'm going to enjoy killing you demon." The man snarled at him making Naruto flinch in fear. Whether it was luck or pure coincidence a firework went off giving him the chance to make an escape.
Naruto quickly turned and ran being much faster than any of the civilians it was easy to stay ahead of them. The problem came when a few ninja decided to join in the chase and help capture the boy. They wouldn't join in torturing Naruto as the punishment to previous shinobi who did was quite severe when found out. They would simply help in his capture and let the civilians do the dirty work as the council would be able to step in and pardon them and there was little the old Hokage could do about it unlike with the shinobi.
So here Naruto was once again running for his life. He didn't understand why this happened to him or why he couldn't play with children his own age or why it was hard for him to purchase things for a fair price if at all, but Naruto still loved his village and wanted to be a hero one day. Naruto hid underneath a cart of one of the visiting festival goers listening as the sounds of the mob grew closer and closer and where finally upon his location. Sparks of lightning could be seen flashing through his eyes, even though the temperature was warm outside when Naruto gripped the cart a small patch of frost started forming without his knowledge.
It wasn't until he heard nothing that he decided to crawl out from underneath the cart and thanked Kami and any god that was listening to him for being safe. Naruto looked around and realizing where he was started his long trek home. He made it halfway down the block when he was pushed down a sandaled foot came crashing down on his back. Naruto lifted his head and tried to look behind him at the man that had his foot on his back.
"Why are you doing this to me? I never did anything to you!" Naruto asked with fear in his voice, he just wanted to be accepted in life was that much to ask for. A small amount of acceptance is what he wished he could have in life.
"You killed my wife and our unborn pup you demon, now I'll never see them again! I'm going to make sure your suffer for what you've done to us all!" The man snarled in anger, he'd would never see his pup grow up and become a Shinobi, he'd never hear his wife's laugh ever again.
Naruto was struggling to get up from his position and escape. He knew he was no match for the man keeping him down, but he needed to find something anything and that's when he saw it. The chunin had just finished signaling his ninken when suddenly a sharp pain erupted from his leg.
"I need to do something!" He thought to himself as he tried pushing the ninken off of him. For some unknown reason an icicle started forming in his hand before stabbing it down in the ninken's skull killing it instantly.
"KATO!" The Inuzuka man yelled out while watching his partner being killed by the young boy, how was he going to explain this to Tsume. She told her clan to stay away from the boy, never once did she lay a finger to help him but never cared to know anything about him either.
Lightning started sparking in Naruto's eyes as he took off faster than before weaving in and out of the citizens and shinobi all it looked like was a fiery blur. He couldn't keep control of his speed or this power people were slipping for some reason as they looked down all they saw was ice.
He was able to stop but not before hitting a cave wall face first, he didn't know where he was but the cave seemed peaceful. The sound of a running waterfall caught his interest, but the beauty of the cave captivated him. The cave was huge about the same size as the Uchiha compound, he noticed a small house about the two or three times bigger than his apartment, fresh fruits and vegetables could've be seen growing and thriving, he saw fishes swimming the the beautiful lake. For once in his life he felt at peace nothing else mattered not the village and not his birthday.
Walking up to the waterfall he reached out and touched the water and noticed it was warm, it wasn't hot but it was perfect if he ever wanted to shower. He looked at the lake and noticed some different type of fish but the most occurring ones were Catfish and Salmon. He continued to explore the cave and found a natural hot spring, he was happy that he found this place maybe he could live here and attended the academy no one would ever bother him again if they didn't know where he lived.
Unknowingly he stumbled upon a cave that Madara Uchiha once built himself to escape the pressure of his clan and his clans darkness. He made this cave as an escape for them life of a shinobi one where no one would ever find. It was his last piece of happiness until he was betrayed by his own clan, betrayed by the very people who he fought side by side with.
Naruto smiles as he walked towards the two story house and gently pushed the door open, he was happy to know the door was unlocked. When he walked inside he noticed the dust and knew he had his work cut out for himself for cleaning, yes this would do this would be his own personal heaven.
Walking up to a table he noticed a scroll and decided to read it.
To whom it may concern,
My name is Madara Uchiha, I am one of the founding members of Konohagakure No Sato. I built this cave and sanctuary out of respect for my younger brother Izuna, we always talked about finding a place to just be ourselves, a place where we wouldn't be warriors or killers, a place where we could have some form of peace. Sadly my brother never had the chance to experience such peace before he was ultimately killed.
I know my clan is planning to have me banished since the only one who can rival me in power is the Shodaime Hokage Hashirama Senju. I have left scrolls from jutsu's I have created, learned and stolen. Weapons that I have mastered and books about theories if you wish to become stronger please do so but I do ask of one thing, should you stumble upon this place please take care of this sanctuary. This is the last place where I ever felt true peace, a place where I could ignore my role as a ninja.
I leave you the deed to this cave and everything in it, add chakra to the seal on the bottom of the scroll and sign your name, once again please take care of the little peace I have left.
Signed Madara Uchiha
6 years later
A blonde haired kid could be seen sitting in the back of a classroom, his Hitai-ate gently but tightly wrapped around his right bicep. A pure white Katana was strapped to his back, his black shirt clung tightly to his chest and his navy blue anbu pants were tapped off at his right thigh. He couldn't help but look out the window bored as he remembered the past six years of his life since he first found Madara's cave.
During those six years Naruto mastered the tree and water walking as well as a few other Justus that he could use safely. It wasn't until his fifth year in the academy when Naruto learned the Kage Bunshin no jutsu, Tajū Kage Bunshin no Jutsu, Bunshin Daibakuha and the Shunshin no Jutsu. He loved the clones and the Shunshin, they made everyday life so much easier, he would use the clones to help him cook, clean, and train. He was glad for Madara's notes about the clones since he got the memories from them he was able to use them for his Fūinjutsu, chakra control, Taijutsu and Ninjutsu, he leaned about the last one the hard way.
He learned that the hard way, it happened about a week after he learned to use the clones when he was going through hand seals for the Kaze no Yaiba: Wind Sword and he had cut his arm up badly. That's when he started using the clones to work on the jutsu's to make sure they perfected them. During his time in the cave he read about Madara's adventures and loved them and wanted to be like him, a Shinobi so powerful with almost no equal that's what he wanted to be a shinobi with no equal.
He thought back His time so far in the academy was bad, they didn't kick him out or yell at him, no the teachers just ignored him like he didn't exist. During those six years he realized something, maybe not having any attention on him wasn't so bad. Hell after his chase the Hokage practically forgot all about him not once checking up on him or anything, he had even stopped calling him Jiji and instead called him Hokage-sama. It also helped that when he did get kicked out of class he'd just leave a clone behind while he went off and trained in different forms of Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Fūinjutsu and Ninjutsu.
He tried making friends with his classmates but they just ignored him and pretended that he didn't exist, so he gave up after the first month of the academy. He decided that it'd be better if he didn't have any friends, since they all stayed away from him like he was the plague it gave him more time to train.
During his training he didn't know why but he felt like he needed to learn more about these seals, it was like they spoke to him when he made them. He was happy that Madara had scrolls and books on seals since it helped him improve, right now he was easily a leave 6 seal master. He knew that seals were only limited to one's imagination and was able to recreate the restriction seals and placed them all over his body, on his arms, chest, abs, and legs. He even made sure to put weighed seals on all of his clothes to not only build up speed but power too.
He had mastered a few Justus like the Kaze no Yaiba, Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu and the Raiton: Gian. Naruto was learning on how to use one handed seals, he learned but only were they harder but it helped especially in a fight defend while using one hand and the other he could attack with.
He learned about his Kekkei Genkai thanks to books, he learned he had not one but TWO Kekkei Genkai's Hyōton and Jinton. He was shocked when he found that out but knew that he needed to train himself and since he didn't know anyone else he practiced his Jinton and Hyōton the same. He was able to use Jinton for ten minutes so far before he felt the strains on his muscles and had to stop.
For Hyōton he was only able to make an updated version of Kiri's famed Kirigakure no Jutsu, in which he made it where I've started to form around his opponents. He knew it wasn't enough but that didn't deter him from learning or trying to create his own original Jutsu's.
Thinking about his other skills made him think about his Taijutsu, it was suffering since he never had anyone to practice with besides his clones and even then they'd dispel after one hit. He had actually found two styles he liked one for regular use and one for use with his bloodline when he practiced with it in secret. The first was Cheetah Fighting style it relied on speed and outsmarting his opponents. It utilized hit and run tactics and Naruto figured if he could combine it with his Hyōton and Kenjutsu it would make him a fearsome opponent especially when used his second bloodline. It was a style that had very few masters, but it said once you mastered this style that not only will he be able to use his opponents weakness against them but he'd be to fast for them to hit.
The other style he chose was Capoeira. It was fun to learn and he loved the constant movement the style required. It was a style based around deception and evasion two things he was known for. This would be the style he used against a singular opponent or when stealth wasn't an option. Naruto wasn't actually sure how practical the style was for a ninja, but that didn't matter and he could always change it around later. He would be able to mess with his opponents head and make them frustrated where they'd tend to make mistakes, and a mistake in a fight was meant to be taken advantage of.
Kenjutsu was something Naruto fell in love with, he had found a Katana that belonged to Madara's brother Izuna. It was a beautiful Snow White Katana, from the hilt to the tip of the blade it was white. If he dropped it in the snow he knew it'd be lost forever, it was lighter than a feather and when he used it it was like watching a skilled dancer, he would often switch dance and was learning a style that was said to have no masters.
The only area Naruto had trouble with was genjutsu. It wasn't that he didn't find genjutsu interesting or anything it's just that it was extremely hard for him to do even the basic academy genjutsu. He did find one that he really wanted to learn Kokuangyo no Jutsu, a Genjutsu that negated all of your senses, including Doujutsu.
The sounds of other kids running in and yelling and shouting brought Naruto out of his stupor, it looked like his peace and quiet was all but over, now all he had to do was wait for his name to be called and he could finally start taking missions.
The next morning the Hokage was talking to the Jōnin's about their teams to see who passed and failed, he looked up at his son first and had him proceed when they saw a silver haired man walk in with an eye smile.
"I didn't really see the need to test my team Hokage-sama so I passed them and spent the time getting to know them and finding out about their skills" Asuma says then sits down.
"I was unable to test my team Hokage-sama, the sealing process took a lot out of Yakumo and I thank you for forcing Jiraiya to take care of Yakumo's problem. I'll be able to test them tomorrow but I know they'll pass." Kurenai said while the Hokage nodded.
"Team 7 passed Hokage-sama, they're a little rough around the edges but nothing that I wouldn't be able to fix. With Kiba's personality he'll be able to keep both of his teammates on their toes." Kakashi said making everyone sweat drop.
Team 1 failed. I gave the standard team test. I recommend that they return to the academy" said a brown haired jōnin with green eyes.
"Team 2 failed. I also gave the standard team test. I recommend that they become civilians" said a Kunoichi with dark brown hair and black eyes.
"Team 3 failed. I gave my team a tracking test. I recommend that they also become civilians" says a jōnin with dark blue hair and the whites of the Hyūga.
"Team 4 passed" says a man with dull black hair tied back in a ponytail and green eyes.
Everyone turned to the man with an incredulous stare. It wasn't unprecedented but in times of peace it was unusual for more than three teams to pass. Of course there were ways around this and some villages just out right ignored it but generally three would officially pass and the others would be sent back to the academy, become civilians, or those that showed promise would be put in the reserves to form a team later.
"Please tell us who your gennin are, the manner of testing, and how they managed to pass Fukazi-san."The Hokage said while looking at the man. If he didn't like the answer to the last two questions he would fail the team, but they would be put into the reserves.
"My name is Fuzaki Ryo, my genin team consists of Shira Kanto, her sister Kaira Kanto and lastly Uzumaki Naruto. When I first observed them I was able to see how they interacted which was fine since none of them really seemed to have any problem with each other. I then tested their skills which were good enough for graduating gennin, but the one who stood out the most was Naruto. He's incredibly skilled in Kenjutsu but he's also a natural born leader, he was able to command of the situation and direct his teammates in a quick and stealthy Kill of my Mizu bunshin. The test I have them was a seek and destroy mission where they had to find my Mizu Bunshin I had hiding around in the training ground and defeat it. They managed to accomplish the task just under the time limit." Ryo said, while looking happy.
The Hokage looked at him and nodded his head, he was shocked to hear that Naruto was skilled and a natural leader. The last time he saw him was six years ago and never once did he ever go out of his way to talk to him, he didn't even know if he had any friends. He'd have to ask Iruka about if Naruto had made any bonds while he was in the academy.
"There is one more thing I'd like to add." Ryo said while looking at the Hokage, everyone raised an eyebrow while looking at him.
"What would you like to add Ryo." The Old Hokage asked.
"Naruto has two bloodlines." He said while shocking everyone, to have to bloodlines was incredibly rare.
"Are you serious." Hiruzen said in a serious tone, he never would've thought Naruto would ever have a bloodline but he's being told that he has TWO.
"Yes, I watched as he used them, he made himself as a distraction while his teammates killed my clone." Ryo responded
"Do you know what they are?" Asuma asked while picking his cigarette up from the ground. Now he was thinking he should've asked for Naruto if this was true, to have a student with two bloodlines would've been perfect.
"Hyōton and Jinton." Ryo said while looking at Asuma.
"You mean to tell me that he has two bloodlines, that should be impossible! Are you sure you saw him use two bloodlines." Kurenai practically shouted out. She knew who the blonde was but for the past six years it seemed like he just dropped from the face of the world.
"Yes I'm positive, it seems like he has good control over his Jinton but for his Hyōton he's only able to use an upgraded version of the Kirigakure no Jutsu, where it freezes you. It's not noticeable but you could feel the coldness and it was causing my clone to slow down." He finished while looking at Kurenai who looked shocked.
"Mia, get me Uzumaki Naruto now please." The Hokage said through the intercom. "We will have Naruto show us his bloodlines, and if what you're saying is true then this will be a lot harder to deal with.
A few minutes passed by and they watched as a blonde haired boy walk in with blank face. They all took in his new clothings, he was wearing a navy blue shirt and a long black sleeve shirt under, his plant anbu style pants were tucked into his black steel toed boots. What had caught all of their attentions was the beautiful Snow White Katana strapped to his back.
"Hello Ryo-Sensei." Naruto greeted his sensei before looking at the Hokage, "you asked for me Hokage-sama?"
