Konogakura no Sato, The Hidden Leaf Village, founded by Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. For years this village has prospered and survived wars fought with the power of ninja who use chakra to create jutsu. But where did it all come from? The answer lies in the past hundreds of years ago there lived a man only known as The Sage of The Six Paths. He possessed a god-like power known as the Rinnegan. This sage did battle with the strongest being in existence. The Juubi the 10 tailed Wolf. Their battle reshaped the world itself making a single continent that would later make the 5 great nations. After their battle the sage, using an unknown jutsu sealed away the power of the wolf inside his own body making himself a Jinchuriki. He took the body of the beast and using the Rinnegan's power sealed it inside a ball of earth and flung it into the sky. This created the moon. Also the sage split the power of the wolf into 9 separate beings known as biiju. The sage was weak after this battle and died shortly after. On his death bed he confided in his youngest son to be the heir to his power. But his older son was angered by this and waged war upon the younger brother. This hate ran deep, even to their descendants the Uchiha, the inheritor of the sage's eye ability to control demon chakra, and the Senju, the inheritors of the sage's body ability to control demon chakra. It was unknown but the sage had a middle child which he hid from the world, giving this child his will, his spirit and mind, and secretly the ability to use Rinnegan. The sage could not trust his oldest son with the power of these eyes and gave his a bastardized version. Shortly after this the sage died. The child lived on to become the founder on the Uzumaki Clan. After a great war against the Uzumaki's 4 of the 5 lands thought they were destroyed. The leaf village housed what they thought was the only Uzumaki left. Kushina Uzumaki, Princess of Whirlpool, who was secretly married to Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage. There were more Uzumaki's around but due to their signature red head and strength they were easily found and killed. All the remained were Kushina and a small family hidden near Ame, also the recently deceased Mito Uzumaki, Kushina's grandmother. The parents of the family in Ame died leaving their only son Nagato alone in the world. Due to him not living correctly and his corrupted mind Nagato experienced a great pain and awoke the Rinnegan. He was thought to be the only one. But no one knew that inside of Kushina new life had formed. A life that could lead to the destruction or prosperity of the world. Kushina Uzumaki was pregnant with the 4th child. But life has a cruel scene of humor and Madara Uchiha attacked the Leaf village the knight of this child's birth using the 9 tailed biiju to nearly destroy the village. The 4th fought the beast and won sacrificing his life he sealed the demon into his child. The demon immediately felt he was inside a descendant of the sage and stayed in his seal. He looked around and decided to see the boys DNA. What he found surprised him. The boy already had the Rinnegan active in his eyes. The beast smiled at this.
"I might as well have some fun while I'm here." The beast sealed the Rinnegan away in the boy's blood only to be awoken when he met what the demon fox saw as the criteria for wielding such power.
"He needs to feel what life is before he has the power to control it." And with that the fox slept hoping that the boy would provide amusement for him in his sealing time. And with that the legend that would come to be known as Naruto Uzumaki was born.

-6 years later-

A small boy ran through the streets of Konoha. He had bright blonde hair, deep blue eyes, whisker marks on both his cheeks and a "I'm here, please kill me" bright orange shirt. The boy was now currently running for his life, being chased by a mob of angry citizens. This boy is Naruto Uzumaki, holder of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. It had been almost 6 years since the Kyuubi attack on the village and with each year the mobs got bigger, the people angrier, and the protection ninjas fewer. Naruto had no knowledge on anything about his life but what the Hokage had told him, he had had ninja parents both of whom had been killed in the Kyuubi attack and he had no other relatives. The boy had questioned the Hokage countless times about who they were but it was always the same responses. "I don't know Naruto", I will tell you when you're older Naruto", "I just simply can't remember Naruto". Anyway back to pre-mentioned little boy. He was running as fast as his small body could carry him, dodging objects being thrown by villagers and ninja alike. He turned down a corner remembering that this led to a small hole in a fence where he could lose everyone. But alas fate was not on his side this day. The fence was now replaced with a large concrete wall, and he was trapped. Scared Naruto hid behind a dumpster but his hiding was short-lived. He was dragged from the spot and held down. Beaten by the mod, a large man with a sledge hammer approached and brought said hammer down on Naruto's right knee. The bone shattered instantly and the leg bent forward. Audible cracking and braking could be heard but the crowd just cheered.
"PLEASE STOP PLEASE I NEVER HURT ANYONE, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO ME!"
"This is what you get for killing our loved ones you DEMON! Saku, make him shut up." A small thin man approached Naruto's prone form. In his hands was a scalpel. He bent down and cut Naruto's throat severing the vocal chords. All Naruto could do was silently cry and pray to Kami to have mercy on him. The villagers did not though. Ninjas of the group pulled out kunai and stabbed them into his hands pinning him to the ground. The blood ran freely showing no signs of stopping any time soon. Medical-nin were also among the people attacking. They did the worse damage. With various surgical tools they had cut the poor boy open across his chest and were now currently cutting out non vital organs in the most painful ways they could think of. For what seemed like hours the torture continued, civilians beating and kicking the boy until his blood started to spurt out of his body through the open incisions across his chest and stomach. All the while he cried. Naruto cried and cried and begged to God that the pain would end. Never did it end. The pain continued until he blacked out only to awake to more pain.
"Why would God allow this? What did I do wrong? I only played a few pranks! Why are they hurting me so much! No god would let a person go through so much pain. There is no God. Only pain. The pain of living in this world." Thought young Naruto as he was beaten. In his mindscape the Kyuubi was seething. He did hate the boy for being his prison but even he had some heart. This village was massacring him! Kyuubi was now glad he attacked this place they deserved to die. What truly surprised him is that now after the 6 years of life in the boy he finally realized what his life meant. Kyuubi smiled.
"Now you get the power you deserve, boy." And with that the fox released the power that lay dormant in the child's eyes. The Rinnegan was now activated. Back in reality, Naruto's eyes were bleeding making it look like tears on blood. The mob had passed and he was alone. He felt the pain in his eyes but this pain was different. It was the rewarding pain like he felt when in his legs after running from a mob. It stung but he felt the change. His vision was clearer. Sharper. He felt a strange scene of power in him. Naruto became over taken with tiredness. He saw, before he passed out, a silver haired Anbu with a dog mask on. "Hopefully he is one of the good guys."And with that our young Rinnegan user passed out.

Kakashi Hatake was not having a good day. It was the 6th anniversary of the Kyuubi attack and he had lost site of the child he was assigned to guard after breaking up a bar fight. It had been this day 6 years ago he lost his sensei and he was not enjoying the celebration like everyone else. His target to look after was son of said sensei the 4th Hokage. How he lost the little orange clad blonde was beyond him but he was tracking him. Suddenly he felt a huge release of chakra. Recognizing it as Kyuubi chakra, he ran to an alleyway in a small abandoned part of Konoha. What he saw there would haunt him for the rest of his life. Naruto now could only be described as being the picture of hell. After a closer look of thinking his cloths were torn he saw it was his flesh hanging to his body in chunks. The child looked at Kakashi with broken eyes. What he saw in those eyes was what Kakashi could only describe as absolutely no life. He was so shocked he did not notice the boy's eyes were now gray and rippled but it didn't matter Naruto now needed to get to a hospital. Being careful with his body Kakashi took the boy into his arms and pushing chakra to his legs sped off to the Konoha Hospital. Bursting through the door he screamed, "Someone get me a freakin' doctor!" But after a nurse looked at the child in his arms, she merely scoffed.
"Why would we help a demon? I'm glad it's dead now, we can all finally get on with our li-" She was cut off by a hand on her throat.
"Don't say another word or I swear I will burn this place to the ground and mount your head on a pike, HELP. HIM. NOW!" The nurse terrified of his word ordered doctors to help the boy, they weren't happy but with the amount of K.I. Kakashi was giving off they kept their mouths shut. Kakashi now seeing the boy being taken care of went to the nearest bathroom, locked the door, ripped off his mask and proceeded to empty all his stomach out until his tongue burnt with stomach acid.
"Naruto, I'm so sorry. This never should have happened to you. If only I had paid more attention.." The Jonin then proceeded to cry for the first time in a long time. He remembered his friend, Obito. His body crushed beneath the boulder. Still he smiled. Still he gave him his eye. Kakashi lifted his head band and looked into his Sharingan eye through the mirror.
"I swear, Obito, Sensei, Naruto, I will protect you, and carry on your dreams." He lowered the hitai-ate once more. Wiping his mouth and washing out the taste of bile he lifted his mask once more and exited to rest room and came face to face with the Hokage.
"Kakashi...what happened?"
"Lord Hokage...I'm sorry...I was distracted and lost him for just 2 hours...I didn't know this world happen..." His visible eye started to water again. The Hokage himself looked visibly sick. He had seen Naruto before he spoke to Kakashi and what he saw made him fuller of fury and hate for the village then he had ever felt in his entire life. Naruto always had that bright smile. He was positive now he could never look at the boy the same way ever again without picturing those images.
"Kakashi I want a full report on my desk by sunrise. I'm sure the council is going to bitch at me for not ending his life." The Hokage wished he could just get the council to leave the boy alone, he knew they were involved some way with the boy's attack. He sat in the waiting room waiting for the surgery to end, he personally fixed the doctors operating on Naruto the minute he saw him to avoid any "accidents" that might occur during his time under the knife. Kakashi had left to write his report and get some sleep about an hour ago. He should rest as well but he needed to know Naruto was alright. A doctor came out of the operating room.
"Lord Hokage? I don't really know what to say here. Naruto-kun will be fine but, several of his organs were removed and his knee-cap shattered. There were also multiple lacerations, and major blood loss. But after a while it seemed his body just...fixed itself. His organs re-grew in a few minutes and his knee just un-shattered for lack of a better word. I thank Lord Kami for his survival. He will be fine in about ten days. We recommend he stay here in that time in case his stitches open up." He looked at the Hokage with narrow eyes, flickering to the nurses and other doctors around, signaling that the Kyuubi had healed the boy.
"Thank you, Kenkou. Can I see him?"
"Sure, he is sedated so I would wait until morning to speak with him. Kami help that child." The doctor looked at the Hokage. He remembered when he had first met Naruto. He had recently been appointed head of the Hospital of Konoha and it was his first day on the job. He had worked late that night to catch up on paper work. Kami-damned paperwork. He had just finished when he had looked out the window and saw a small blond haired boy limping toward the door. He hesitantly approached him to see if the boy needed help.

"H-hello there? Can I help you son? Are you injured?" He asked with a worried look. The boy stiffened at his voice and slowly looked up. He was hidden by the shadows of the street light next to him.

"Come closer, I can't see you. I promise I will not to hurt you." The boy slowly limped into the light and what the doctor saw made him gasp. The boy couldn't be more than four and he was covered in dirt and cuts. His leg was swollen and bleeding.

"A-are you a doctor?" He asked in a weak voice.

"Yes, I am. What happened to you?"

"P-please…..get….old man…Hokage…" He promptly passed out then and there and was caught by Kenkou, he brought the boy inside and got to work healing him. The wounds weren't serious but seemed to be days old and infected. Quickly making hand seals Kenkou focused his chakra and had his hand surrounded by green light. He ran his hand over this mystery blond boy's body and healed the cuts, and injected some antibiotics to help fight any infections that may have been present from the boy's current dirt covered body. Kenkou smiled as the boy's face relaxed glad that his few years as a ninja hadn't been a waste. He cleaned the boy and as he did so he found a birthday card in his pants pocket. Opening it his eyes widened. "Dear Naruto, Happy fourth birthday, Love "Jiji" a.k.a Sarutobi Hiruzen" followed by the official stamp of the Hokage. Kenkou put the card down and went to the rotary phone on his desk. Picking it up he asked the operator to put him through to the Hokage. Due to his position as Hospital Head he was connected in minutes.

"Yes hello? This is Sandaime Hokage speaking."

"Hello Hokage-sama, this is head director of Konoha Hospital. I have a child here that I believe you need to come see immediately."

"What? A child?...I-is he blond haired, blue eyed, and three whisker marks on each cheek?" The Hokage asked in a low almost frightened tone.

"I'm sorry to say sir but yes….Hello?" The line went dead and immediately the Hokage burst through the Hospital doors and arrived in Naruto's room in about a few seconds. Kenkou sweat dropped but got serious. "Sir? Who is this child?"

"He is Naruto Uzumaki. And he is supposed to be at the Konoha Orphanage."

"Wait Uzumaki? As in the Kyuubi Container?"

"What of it?" The Hokage narrowed his eyes. If this doctor made a move he would not hesitate to execute him. What happened next surprised the Hokage greatly. Kenkou got on his knees, took out a cross and started to pray, begging Kami to help this child and keep the evil beast sealed away. "W-what are you doing?"

"Asking God to help this tortured soul. No child should bear such a burden as having a demon sealed away inside them. These villagers are damn fools! Hurting the person who saves them from death just by breathing!" He calmed himself and made the sign of the cross. Muttering for forgiveness for such vulgar language. The Hokage was stunned. This man was definitely the best person to be treating Naruto's injuries.

-Back in the present-

Kenkou watched as the Hokage entered the room that housed Naruto. He sighed and continued to work on Naruto's file for his patient report. The Hokage walked into the room and took a seat on a chair next to the bed. He watched Naruto's sleeping body with a critical eye. He looked so peaceful. The young Jinchuriki was propped up on the bed and wearing no shirt. Bandages wrapped around his midsection and over one arm to secure them. His breathing was normal and his face showed no signs of pain. With a sigh the Hokage took a pad of paper off the bed side table and scribbled a note addressed to his grandson figure. Placing the note down the old man stood and walked out of the room, sparing one last glance at the six-year-old. Hiruzen thought to himself, "How could someone so innocent and full of life, bear such a burden as you Naruto?" With that he closed the door and returned to his office. It was going to be a long night.
