Summary: Naruto possesses an ancient power. One thought to be lost during the Old Times. One similar to a bloodline, yet different all the same.

AN: In this fic, the Kyuubi never attacked, but Naruto is still hated by most of the adult population because of his parents and hated by most of the population his age because of his appearance. Despite the fact that the Kyuubi never attacked, the Yondaime is still dead, I will explain later. He will still be called the demon brat and will also have an immensely different personality than both Nightcrawler and cannon Naruto.

Once, there were two species of humans. One was older, the other was new. The new humans were called mutants. With just a slight variation of a gene called the X-gene, they had powers of great and immense power and variety. However, when the demons were first summoned, they were thought to be wiped out. Until now, several thousand years later, they have been reborn.

Naruto opened his eyes and sighed before closing them. Another day in Hell; granted, to most it was known as Konoha; to him it was known as Hell. He had been treated like a piece of dirt his entire life. Oh well, he'd get them back one day.

Naruto got out of bed and looked at himself in the mirror. His skin was a dark blue with jet black hair and yellow eyes. His hands and feet only had three fingers and toes. The thing that made him most hated though soon appeared in the mirror. A tail with a spear like tip. He sighed before brushing his hair back to reveal his pointed ears before teleporting to his Academy classroom just as his name was about to be called.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Iruka said as there was a poof of dark blue smoke accompanied by the smell of brimstone.

"Here Iruka-sensei," Naruto responded.

Iruka glared at Naruto before continuing. Naruto had made it a habit of arriving just as his name was being called. Even when Iruka jumped Naruto's name around in the order that names were called, Naruto always showed up just as his name was called.

"Today we will be reviewing the Henge jutsu. Everyone form a line and perform the jutsu when I call you," Iruka calmly said.

The first to go was Haruno Sakura, she henged into a perfect image of Iruka. Iruka jotted something down on his clipboard before calling Uchiha Sasuke up. He henged into Iruka as well.

"Uzumaki Naruto," Iruka called.

Naruto walked up and performed a modified hand seal designed for shinobi who had lost fingers so they were able to continue their shinobi career. Naruto used them simply because he only had a total of six fingers. The modified hand seals also made it so that the Sharingan wasn't able to copy the jutsu unless they had the same number of fingers as the person they were attempting to copy.

"Henge!" Naruto shouted.

There was a poof of smoke that cleared to reveal, nothing?

"Naruto! No teleporting!" Sakura shouted.

There was a bark as everyone looked down to see a small black dog slightly bigger than Inzuka Kiba's canine Akamaru. There was another cloud of smoke to reveal Naruto with a grin on his face as Iruka marked something on his clipboard.

"Hey! Doesn't Naruto fail that since he didn't henge into you Iruka-sensei?" Yanamaka Ino shouted.

"When did Iruka-sensei say that we had to henge into him?" Naruto simply responded.

Ino had no response and simply glared at Naruto who just smirked at the girl.

Once everyone performed the henge, Iruka ran the class through some physical drills and exercises. This was the area where Naruto shined. When ever they had exercises or drills, it was always some kind of obstacle course where acrobatics were required. Naruto was naturally acrobatic, so he always found these exercises easy. He also excelled at taijutsu because of his teleportation. He would never be in the same place longer than was required to land a punch or kick. He also randomized his teleportation so it was impossible to predict where he would be next. Sometimes he would disappear in his cloud of brimstone only to reappear no more than a few inches away to catch his enemies off guard.

"Alright class, that's enough for now. Back into the classroom. We will continue in there," Iruka said as everyone was herded back inside. Once they were inside and in their seats, Iruka continued, "Tomorrow is the graduation exam. If you pass you will be made genin of the Leaf. So when you go home tonight, be sure to prepare for tomorrow. Class dismissed."

The class then ran over Iruka as they ran home. Naruto shook his head slightly before teleporting to a private training ground of his. Normally, a person couldn't use the jutsu version of Naruto's teleportation as many times as he did, but Naruto used it so much, that he barely had to focus anymore. Somehow he didn't need to use chakra for his teleportation. Yet it still worked. Naruto had no explanation for it.

Naruto began his training for the day by nodding to the only other person there. Said person began hurling shuriken and kunai at Naruto who did his best to dodge without using his teleportation. Since there were numerous trees, he could use his natural acrobatics. He had no idea if there was anything that could block his teleportation, so he practiced dodging on his own as often as he could.

His thinking cost him as several shuriken cut through his clothing and cut some of the fur on him, but not reaching the skin underneath. Naruto then grabbed a kunai aimed at his arm and threw it back at his training partner before a foot slammed into his side. Naruto grunted before he teleported out of instinct and fell to the ground a few yards away. Naruto sat up and glared at Rock Lee who returned with a glare of his own.

"LEE! WHAT WERE YOU DOING?!" Naruto's sparring partner shouted/asked/demanded.

"But Tenten-san! This unyouthful demon attacked you with a most unyouthful attack!" Lee shouted before receiving a punch to the face from Naruto via swift teleportation.

"I AM NOT A DEMON!" Naruto shouted.

"And besides, we were SPARRING! I was practicing my aim at a moving target, while Naruto was practicing his dodging without relying on his teleportation! NOW GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" Tenten shouted, scaring both Naruto and Lee.

Naruto got a sudden glint in his eye before putting a hand on Lee's shoulder and teleporting away. Naruto appeared a brief moment later with a wide grin on his face, showing his fangs, though Tenten took no notice.

"Where did you take him?" Tenten asked, knowing that she probably would find the answer amusing.

"I teleported a few yards above the women's side of the hot springs, kicked him down with an ax kick, then teleported my blue, furry ass out of there," Naruto responded with a triumphant face just as the screams of pervert started.

Tenten giggled before taking out a scroll and unsealing a katana as well as a blade from the ancient times called a saber. It had a spiraling guard and a blade that had a groove down from the hilt to about three inches short of the end of the blade. In addition to lightening the weight of the blade, it also looked sweet (1).

The two slipped into their respective stances, Tenten with her katana and Naruto with his saber. In a clash of steel the two met, Tenten using a more aggressive style while Naruto favored a style that emphasized dodging and weaving around his opponent. The two were about evenly matched and after about an hour of sparring, decided to call it quits for the day, since Naruto did have the graduation test the next day.

"So meet here again tomorrow?" Naruto asked as the two stared out at the setting sun.

"Sure, if you pass I'll even give you a present," Tenten said with a smile.

"What kind of present?" Naruto asked in a…suggestive tone.

Tenten glared over at Naruto before seeing the smile on his face that showed that he was joking. She smacked his shoulder causing him to wince and rub the spot before wrapping his arm over her shoulders and just holding her.

ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ

Naruto awoke the next day with a smile on his face. Every time he thought about leaving Konoha, he remembered his few friends that he had: Tenten, the Hokage, and Konohamaru. For a while, he had considered the old man who ran Ichiraku Ramen Stand and his daughter, until he over heard them talking about how they needed to alter the poisons they were using in his ramen and upping the dosage. They had been using too small doses and that resulted in them actually making Naruto immune to all of the poisons that they had used so far.

Frowning at how quickly his thoughts turned south, Naruto dressed in black cargo shorts and a blood red tee shirt with the Konoha leaf symbol on its back before tying his kunai pouch to his lower leg below where the shorts ended. With a sigh, he teleported to the classroom earlier than usual for him: it was the name before his was called.

"Today is the graduation exam. Should you pass, you will become shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village. In order to pass you must perform the bunshin jutsu to create two clones successfully, and perform a technique that you didn't learn here. First up is Aburame Shino," Iruka said before leading the silent boy to a different room. A few minutes later he walked out with a headband and the next student went in. Naruto sighed and pulled out a kunai and a whetstone (2) and started to sharpen said kunai while waiting.

Naruto often sharpened and cleaned his kunai, shuriken, and his saber (when he wasn't hiding it). The weapons of a shinobi were the life of a shinobi. If a ninja let his equipment fall into disrepair, then there was a higher chance of him being killed on the next mission, and Naruto planned to stay alive for as long as he could.

"Haruno Sakura," Iruka called out.

Naruto glanced up as the pink haired girl walked into the examination room and frowned. When he was younger he had helped her with a slight bully problem by doing the same thing he had done to Lee just yesterday. Despite the fact that he got rid of the bullies, the ungrateful bitch had nearly gotten him killed when she screamed that he was attacking her. While he may look a little demonic, didn't anyone give him a chance?

"Uzumaki Naruto," Iruka called out.

Naruto sighed and stood up while putting his kunai into a sheath on the underside of his left arm and his whetstone in his belt pouch before deciding to walk into the examination room.

"Alright Naruto, in order to pass you must create two bunshin and one technique that we did not teach you," Iruka said in a coolly polite tone.

"Fine," Naruto said while pulling a scroll out of one of his pouches and unrolling it before slamming it into the ground. There was a cloud of smoke as Naruto pulled his saber out of the scroll. Naruto briefly closed his eyes and took a deep breath before striking against and invisible opponent and launching into a quick kata and slashing and stabbing as if he was sparring against Tenten again.

"That is enough Naruto," Iruka cut in.

"While you are obviously skilled in a blade, we need to see either a ninjutsu or genjutsu in addition to the bunshin jutsu," Mizuki, Iruka's assistant, stated calmly.

Naruto starred in disbelief at the two. There was more to being a ninja than flashy techniques and big explosions.

"Do you know any nin or genjutsu that we didn't teach?" Iruka asked in his calm, cool voice.

"There is more to being a ninja than some chakra wasting genjutsu or some flashy ninjutsu. I would have expected the two of you to understand that," Naruto growled out before teleporting to the top of the Hokage monument.

"Guess that's a fail," Mizuki said after a moment.

"Yeah, I guess so," Iruka agreed.

ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ

A few hours later, Naruto was glaring at the Academy as students stood outside with their shiny new forehead protectors, surrounded by proud parents. They had no idea. Those little brats had no idea what being a ninja is really like. They all just wanted some cool jutsu to learn or impress some guy. Naruto glanced to his side as Mizuki appeared, kneeling on the roof next to him. Naruto sighed and put his hands of the roof below him before letting go of the rail he had his tail wrapped around and flipped so his was sitting next to Mizuki.

"You know Naruto; it's not our fault that we couldn't pass you. There are rules that we have to follow. The rules for the graduation exam state that in order to graduate, the one attempting must know at least one ninjutsu or genjutsu in order to become a genin. It's just the way that it works," Mizuki calmly told the young boy.

"Then what about Lee from last year? He can't use chakra at all," Naruto pointed out.

"There are some exceptions like Lee, but you don't qualify for any of those exceptions. The only one you would qualify for you already have worked around."

Naruto stared at his three fingered hands. Oh yeah, he and worked around it.

"Although, there is still a way for you to pass," Mizuki said.

Naruto's eyes snapped towards Mizuki, suspicious but pretending not to be.

"What?" Naruto asked.

ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ

Naruto smirked as he unrolled the scroll that Mizuki "tricked" him into stealing. Seriously, Mizuki needed to brush up his acting skills. After Mizuki left, Naruto told the Hokage about it, and was told to play along. Naruto would take the real scroll, learn a jutsu from it, then take down Mizuki by sending out a wave of chakra to alert the ANBU.

"Well, let's see, the first jutsu is Kage Bunshin; meh, it'll be useful in a pinch. Hang on," Naruto took out a blank scroll and started to jot down notes on it as he browsed throughout the entire scroll. The Hokage said that he could learn one jutsu from the scroll that night; he never said anything about writing the jutsus down and learning them later.

Yeah, he was taking advantage of the old man, but he was a ninja for Kami's sake. The word honor shouldn't even exist in a ninja's vocabulary. Now Naruto did still have some morals, he wouldn't kill for no reason at all, but he did acknowledge that he would eventually have to kill.

Naruto frowned upon reaching a point where the scroll would simply refuse to open any further. Oh well, he had gotten enough.

Naruto then whistled as he looked at the jutsu, before just writing and not reading. Some of the ones here looked interesting.

"The Oniken looks like an interesting style, 'created by Konoha's Oni, this taijutsu style is a mix of nearly every other style. By releasing chakra into the blows, one could deal internal damage, but unlike the Hyuuga's Jyuken, the user can practically destroy an opponent from the inside out. Theoretically, if enough chakra is released into a strike, then the one struck would self destruct. This style also has different strikes that manipulate the chakra within one before the blow is dealt. However the most powerful moves of this style require a rare ability, it requires a darkness elemental natured chakra.' Wow, a style this powerful created by one of the most powerful of Konoha's missing-nins!" Naruto muttered before he thought back to an Academy lesson talking about some of the most powerful shinobi in the world, not all were still loyal to their villages.

Flashback jutsu!

"Of the top five shinobi in the last century, three are dead, and only two remained loyal to their villages. One was the Yondaime who managed to slay more than two-hundred Iwa shinobi with a single jutsu. He developed several jutsu of his own, his most famous being the Hirashin and the Rasengan. He was killed a few years ago by the missing-nin Damatsu Take.

"One that is currently alive is the Suna missing-nin Sansori of the Red Sands. Sansori was more of a genius with Suna's puppet techniques than Itachi of Konoha was. Rumors say that he even discovered how to turn the bodies of his fallen enemies into puppets for him to use.

"The only other living one is a Konoha missing-nin. His birth name is Damatsu Take, though he had gained the nickname of Konoha's Oni before he defected and slew the Yondaime. In battle, he was so savage, that it has been recorded that he killed one enemy shinobi by tearing his throat out with his own teeth. He knows few jutsu number-wise, but he has mastered them to such extent that he doesn't need handseals for any of them. He had also been the first one to discover a sixth chakra element: Darkness. Nearly all of his jutsus were ones that he developed and tested himself. He also developed his own taijutsu style that he passed onto only one person, fortunately that person is still loyal to the village," Iruka lectured (though Naruto had tuned out by then).

Flashback jutsu: Kai!

Naruto shook himself from his thoughts before quickly learning the Kage Bunshin. It took longer than he would have liked, but after two hours he managed to get it down. Sighing, he memorized all the information about the Kage Bunshin then moved onto the next jutsu.

'Aw crap,' Naruto thought upon hearing someone nearing the training ground he was in. Quickly hiding the extra scroll he made, Naruto glanced up as Iruka appeared.

"So I've caught you Naruto," Iruka said, a bit more hostility in his voice than normal.

Naruto raised an eyebrow before guessing that the old man hadn't told Iruka about what was really going on. Naruto opened his mouth to explain, before his keen ears picked something up again. This time the sound of shuriken and kunai flying through the air. Naruto grabbed the scroll and dove to the side as numerous of the sharp objects that Tenten was so fond of slammed into the building Naruto had just been in front of.

"Aw crap," Naruto said as he threw the scroll into the air and drew his saber to block more objects thrown at him from this time both Iruka and Mizuki.

After five minutes of dodging, blocking, teleporting, and generally being kept busy enough to prevent him from sending out a chakra pulse, Naruto finally got fed up and teleported behind Iruka, grabbed him, and teleported above the woman's hotsprings, delivered an ax kick to the disoriented Iruka and teleporting back to Mizuki.

"So the demon brat returns," Mizuki said upon seeing Naruto returning.

"Yeah well, I couldn't exactly let you take the scroll," Naruto responded before finally getting a chakra pulse out. As he did so, Naruto noticed something he never had before.

A person can always see their own chakra when it's outside the body. Humans had a light sky blue chakra. Naruto knew that. Then how come his chakra was a navy blue?

"Naruto, would you like to know why the village hates you?" Mizuki asked.

Naruto raised an eyebrow, while he was curious, it would also stall for time so OK.

"Why?" Naruto calmly asked.

"Before the Yondaime was killed, he and Konoha's Oni competed for the love of a woman. She married the Yondaime, and Konoha's Oni couldn't take it. He raped her shortly after their wedding night, and nine months later, killed the Yondaime before fleeing Konoha. That night the spawn of Damatsu Take and Uzumaki Kushina came into the world. You're the spawn of the one who took away the Yondaime! NOW DIE!" Mizuki shouted while spinning one of his retrieved giant shuriken.

"KAGE BUNSHIN!" Naruto shouted, flooding the clearing with solid clones. Mizuki froze upon seeing the number of clones that had murderous looks on their faces.

"Listen well, you can whip food and crap at me, you can even spit at me, I'll brush that off but never, EVER INSULT MY FAMILY!!" the Narutos shouted before falling upon the terrified chuunin.

Of course, only after Mizuki was beaten did the ANBU show up, not noticing Naruto pocket Mizuki's forehead protector.

"Uzumaki Naruto, Lord Hokage-sama whishes to speak with you," one ANBU said before Naruto teleported to the Hokage's office.

ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ

"So what is it you want old man?" Naruto asked as he lounged on one of the chairs in the Hokage's office.

"I was curious about something," the Hokage said slowly while looking somewhat nervous.

"Let me guess, you want to know if I'm still loyal to Konoha. The only reason I was ever 'loyal' in the first place is because the people I care about are here. If they are to be killed or leave, then I have nothing keeping me here."

"I suppose that is all that I can possibly ask for, after seeing you learn Kage Bunshin within just a few hours; I have decided that I will make you a genin personally."

"Alright, I've already got a forehead protector," Naruto said as he took out Mizuki's protector before tying it around his forehead.

"I see you took Mizuki's forehead protector."

"To the victor go the spoils, and speaking about that man, I have a request. I have recently come into acquisition of one of the most effective methods of interrogation there is. I want to be the one to interrogate the bastard."

"Very well. I will take you to him now."

ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ ﯓ ﯗ ﯕ ﮚ

A few minutes later, Naruto smirked upon seeing the slightly bruised Mizuki. Medic Nins sure could do wonders.

"Alright Mizuki, why did you want the scroll," Naruto asked.

"Go to Hell Demon Brat," Mizuki responded.

"I didn't want to do this, but you leave me no choice," Naruto said before clearing his throat.

"This is the song that never ends," Naruto sang, causing the previous interrogator and the Hokage to facefault (Mizuki would have joined them, except he was rather heavily bound).

Naruto seemed not to notice as he continued:

"ALRIGHT JUST STOP SINGING THAT STUPID SONG!" Mizuki shouted.

"I knew you'd see it my way," Naruto said with a smirk.

AN: is making it harder to separate different scenes, so I'm going to try out more space in between them for a while.

AN2: Spaces didn't work, so I'm going to try something else. I also cleaned up a few errors I missed.

(1) saber description - I'll put up a link for a picture in my profile pretty soon.

(2) whetstone - A whetstone is a special rock used to sharpen blade edges.
