Konoha's Puppet Master

Chapter 1. Childhood

October 8

Life hasn't been to good to 3-year-old Naruto Uzumaki, for some reason beyond his knowing people don't like him. He has just been thrown out of the orphanage were he lived as the owners of said establishment got fed up with dealing with the "Demon brat" as they so coldly referred to him.

"Ahh the stupid owners threw me out again, and worse they broke the sealing scroll the old man gave me" and annoyed Naruto said as he saw he saw his early birthday give from the Hokage tore up and dirty on the wet floor.

"I guess a better go see the old man…again" Naruto thought sadly as he started walking to the Sarutobi Clan compound, a place he new he was always welcome.

Naruto walk for almost 20 minutes when he finally reach the big gates of the Sarutobi compound. It was a great sight every time he came here the was always amazed at the big entrance gate which was made of two big metal monkeys in each side holding the gate.

"Wow…someday I'll live like this" with that thought he pressed the intercom.

"Yes…who is it?" said a raspy voice

"Asuma-sensei is me Naruto…I got thrown out again" said a very sheepish Naruto

"Again!! That the third time the month … those stupid…" said Asuma Sarutobi, the son of the third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hurry, Naruto and come in, its pouring cats and dog's out there" said Asuma as he bussed so the gate opened and Naruto could come in

Naruto ran in the old mansion…were he got a warm welcome of Asuma with a warm towel and some hot tea.

"Here you go kid enjoy" said the jounin with a warm smile at Naruto. This was one of the only places Naruto felt truly safe and happy. "Dad is in his study…I you known were that his" said the jounin before putting a long jacket and walking out of the Sarutobi House.

"Have fun on your date with Kurenai" said Naruto with a big foxy grin on his face.

" Hahaha I always do shrimp" the jounin said as he left not wanting to turned to face the boy do Naruto couldn't see his sad face. "I don't know how these villagers can treat such a good and kind boy with such malice," Asuma thought before he shunshin'd away.

For you see Naruto for such a good and sweet boy as he was, he is the jailor of the most powerful tailed beast in the whole world. And even though he wasn't affected by the demon or influence by it people though he was the demon and treated the poor boy like he had done some unforgivable sin.

Flashback to a week before

Something the poor boy had to learn on his 3 birthday when some drunk villagers and a couple of angry shinobi found him on his way to the orphanage and proceeded to beat him and call him name for 20 minutes until and passing AMBU saw the beating and stopped it… but not before giving the villagers and the shinobi a tasted of his Sharingan.

"Ah Naruto it happened again, I told you not to come out today" and sad and angry AMBU said to the boy, which to much of his surprise was still awake.

"I'm sorry Itachi nii-san, but Ayame told me she had a birthday gift for me," said Naruto still holding the scroll she gave him with contained 20 bowls of different kinds of ramen {which was still in good shape seeing that Naruto kept it safe from the attack}

"Don't speak, safe you strength will be in the hospital soon" said a sad Itachi holding the battered and bloody body of the kid he considered a little brother.

"Ok Itachi nii-san" with that Naruto let darkness take, falling sleep in safe arms.

A few minutes later Itachi got to the hospital and took Naruto to the only doctor he trusted. She was the best and most powerful Kunoichi and medic-nin of her generation, the legendary Slug Princess Tsunade

"Tsunade!!!" screamed a clearly angry Itachi Uchiha.

Tsunade turned around to see a sight she hated, the little kid she considered a little brother bruised and bloody from a resent beating.

"What happened?" said Tsunade as she took Naruto placed him gently on a bed and started making hand signs.

"Shosenjutsu {Mystical Palm Technique}" Tsunade hand started glowing green and as she placed it on Naruto his wounds started healing.

"Itachi, Did you see who did this?" said a clearly furious Tsunade to a equally mad Itachi

"Hai Tsunade-sama" said Itachi liking were this was headed.

"GO, find them have a good time" said Tsunade to a smiling Itachi,

"Hai" said Itachi them he shunshin'd away.

Suddenly the door opened and a elderly man entered the room, and with a sigh said, "How is he?" said the Hokage with clearly sadness plaguing his voice.

"He'll be find in a day or two Sarutobi-sensei" said Tsunade

"Ah good…did you deal with the culprits?" said the Hokage to a smiling Tsunade

"Hai, I sent Itachi, so they be in for a nasty night" said the grinning Tsunade to a smiling Hokage.

"Good, I hope they learn there lesson" said the Hokage.

"Me too" Tsunade and the Hokage gasped at the awake little boy…who just happened to be smiling.

"Naruto, why are you smiling, after what you have been through tonight…" the Hokage started to say before being cut off by Naruto.

"…Because they'll be worse than me after Itachi nii-san get through with them" said a smiling Naruto to a stunned and semi happy Hokage and Tsunade.

"Hahaha" the Hokage and Tsunade started laughing, but stopped when seeing the little blonde boy get a sad expression on his face.

"Old man, why does everyone hate me?" said Naruto trying to hold back the tears that still fell down his 3 year old face.

"Eh Naruto that is something you are not…"the Hokage was cut off by a suddenly mad and screaming Naruto.

"NO, I DESERVE TO KNOW WHY EVERYONE HATE'S ME AND ALWAYS TRY TO HURT OR KILL ME EVEN DOE I HAVEN'T DO ANYTHING BAD" said the know crying Naruto to a sad Hokage and a crying Tsunade.

"Ok, I'll tell you Naruto but is not a easy thing to hear," said the Hokage

The Hokage spent the rest of the night explaining how his father save the village by sealing the nine tailed demon fox inside on a recently born baby… Naruto, and how he died cause of the process and how his mother disappeared the day she gave birth and why he didn't allow him to be name Namikaze for fear the enemies of his father want revenge.

"WOW, that…explains a lot, " said a sad and angry Naruto and why that Naruto laid back and fell asleep with a sense of …well a sense of peace.

Present Time

Naruto was walking through the hallways to the Hokage study when he heard some perverted giggling coming from his study. When Naruto got close enough to see through the door knob he saw something that made him want to laugh…the Hokage a man fear throughout the land as "the professor" for his knowledge was reading a little orange book and giggling like a little schoolgirl.

Naruto suddenly opened the door to see his grandfather figure squeal like a girl from the surprise and fall to out of his seat and to the ground.

"Hahaha, are you ok old man?" said the tiny 3 year old with no hint of sarcasm or mockery in his voice.

"Naruto, what are you doing here, at this hour?" ask the Hokage wile he stood up from the floor and sat back down.

" Well you see… I was thrown out again" said Naruto scratching the back of his head a little embarrassed.

"Well what happened?" ask the Hokage in the tone of voice only a grandfather can speak.

"Well I said that the sealing scroll I had was a birthday gift from you and the owners took it and said that I was lying cause the Hokage would never give a demon a thing like that, then…the owners tool the sealing scroll from me and snap it in half" the last part Naruto said with a small tear.

"Don't cry Naruto it was only a sealing scroll" said the Hokage but in reality the Hokage knew that to Naruto I wasn't just a sealing scroll, it was one of the only gift he had ever received on his birthdays.

"Ok old man" said Naruto a little calm "but were am I going to stay especially since tomorrow is my birthday" Naruto ask with fear in his voice,

The reason for the fear was that every year on his birthday the owners of the Orphanage threw him out so the drunken villagers celebrating the defeat of the Demon Fox look for him a gave him a beating…even thought the beating only lasted a couple of minutes cause it was always stop by Itachi or other members of the AMBU or the Hokage himself it was something Naruto didn't like.

"Don't worry Naruto, today I spoke to the council that I planned to take you in until you start in the ninja academy" said the Hokage before he stood and walked over to his save and pulled out another simple sealing scroll and handed It to Naruto. "Happy Birthday Naruto" said the Hokage before he fell to his seat after Naruto jump on him to give him a powerful hug.
