A/N: Random stuff I'm Changing (may or may not decide to explain them further in the future)
Forgive me, my first fanfic and I doubt I'd be able to explain all these events through the fiction properly. If I get better and this becomes popular enough, I may do some of these as independent stories.
1. Konan was killed by Hanzo.
2. The Uchiha clan decided to negotiate and abandoned the plan to revolt so Itachi never had to kill them. All Uchiha have a seal on the back of their necks now that prevents them from unlocking Mangekyo Sharingan effective after the negotiations were over. ( Itachi, Tobi, Danzo and Kakashi still have M.S. though.)
3. the rookie 9 were born on the same year as Lee, Neji and Tenten.
4. Orochimaru will remain part of the akatsuki until he either dies or the organization is nullified.
5. Itachi is in ANBU.
6. Shisui is still dead (not really a change, but I figured I might as well say it.)
7. Anko does not have a curse mark
8. The Wave mission won't be told through this fic and will be done by a team that does not include Naruto.
Chapter 1

Konoha Academy 8:00pm
Aoba Yamashiro, a man with sunglasses and gravity defying black hair, sat in his office at Konoha Academy looking over the new role sheet to see the next batch of academy students he would teach. The Chunin felt like crying when he saw that there were 54 students in his class this year due to the 'baby boom' that happened the year before the nine tails attack. For all these years the Academy instructors have been praying that they would not be the unlucky soul that would be stuck with such a large number of genin hopefuls for five years.
"Just when I thought that I had a nice balance between my training for the Jonin exams and my job as an instructor," Aoba thought to himself. It wasn't that Aoba disliked teaching; his dream was in fact to become a Jonin sensei and have his very own genin team, he was hoping that he could get enough training in to take the Jonin exams and reach the rank of Jonin or Tokubetsu Jonin by next year.
Aoba perked up "okay maybe I won't be able to take the exam this year, but maybe my chance will come the one after that so it's not completely hopeless," Aoba thought as he decided to take another look over the list one more time.
The man noticed that he had a large number of clan heirs in this class he saw the names: Aburame Shino, Akamichi Chouji, Hyuuga Hinata, Uchiha Sasuke… "Hey maybe this won't be so bad, after all who else could brag that they got to teach all four heirs of the four noble clans," Aoba said to himself as he continued reading through the list until he saw the name Uzumaki Naruto.
Aoba just sat in his seat completely still for a few minutes before muttering to himself "Uzumaki… Naruto." Aoba was cursing his luck, getting stuck with the Kyuubi Jinchuriki. Naruto started the Academy 2 years earlier than most kids when he turned five because the sandaime figured it would be a good idea to give the kid a head start, but the boy has failed to advance twice now and he's built up quite a reputation as a prankster that gives his students a hard time. Aoba didn't hate the boy, but that didn't mean he necessarily liked him either, even if he wasn't the 'prince of pranks' Aoba would do everything in his power to avoid him because he reminded him of the family he lost.
"I get stuck with such a large number of students and the Uzumaki!" Aoba yelled. "Life just isn't fair" Aoba thought to himself not noticing someone opened his office door.
A silver haired man walked into the office "Hey Aoba-san, I couldn't help but over hear that you got the fox brat and the 'baby boom' generation." Aoba looked up and saw the face of Mizuki. Aoba looked downwards and let out a depressing sigh. Mizuki patted the man's shoulder "don't let it get to you. Hey you feel like going out for drinks tonight? It'll be on me," Mizuki offered. "Well he deserves some sort of reward, for having to put up with the demon along with twice the brats that we other instructors need to deal with. It could have been me if things were slightly different."
Before Aoba could say anything an ANBU appeared via shunshin and spoke "Yamashiro Aoba, your presence has been requested please come with me."
Mizuki shrugged "Well if the hokage wants to see you, then you better not keep him waiting. We'll hang out some other time," said the silver haired chunin as he walked off. "Guess I'll see what Iruka's up to."
Aoba got out of his seat and proceeded to follow the ANBU. As soon as the two left the academy, the ANBU began walking in the opposite direction of the hokage tower. Aoba turned to the ANBU "Hey wait a minute aren't we supposed to be heading to the tower?"
Tthe ANBU stopped for a moment and said, "Your scheduled meeting will be held in another location." Then the ANBU continued to walk. Aoba was a little doubtful, but followed the ANBU. They continued to walk until they reached a secluded area where the ANBU turned around and started to partially remove his mask. Aoba saw a red eye then fell into slumber.

Aoba woke up in an unknown location with his wrists, ankles and waist all bound to a chair. Aoba knew it was pointless to struggle and cursed himself for being captured so easily. "Hmm… most people would have tried to fight against their restraints as their first reaction instead of just sitting there," said an elderly voice from behind Aoba who was trying to turn his head to get a glimpse of the man. After giving up Aoba decided to look around the room instead and saw a table with a purple drape over it, the drape had a large ball shaped bulge under it. "Not going to ask who I am or what I want?" the voice asked before he heard footsteps as the owner of the voice walked into view. An elderly man with the right side of his face bandaged stood before Aoba
"Shimura Danzo?" said Aoba. Danzo smiled "What do you want with me? Why did you have that Uchiha abduct me, a fellow shinobi of the leaf? Why-" Aoba was cut off as he felt a kunai against his throat.
The voice of the 'ANBU' from earlier spoke "you will address him as Danzo-dono and you do not question Danzo-sama." Danzo did a one handed signal and the kunai was removed from the man's throat. Aoba heard the swift noise of the 'ANBU' leaving, but Aoba couldn't be too sure that he was really gone.
Danzo was looking at a file "Yamashiro Aoba; rank: Chunin, age: 25, blood type: O, nature release: fire, family: deceased since the nine tails attack seven years ago, dream: wishes to become a Jonin-sensei." Danzo closed the file and looked at the bound Aoba. "I have a proposition for you." Aoba didn't have many choices so he just nodded. "I can get you the training you need to pass the Jonin exams."
Aoba's eyes widened "And what do you want in return?"
Danzo smiled "for you to simply do your job." Aoba looked puzzled then Danzo went into a little more detail. "I want you to make sure Uzumaki Naruto becomes as strong as he possibly can under your care as his chunin instructor."
"What is this? Some plan to make me into one of your pawns? Are you planning to make the Kyubi kid into some kind of weapon and let me guess, you want me to become his Jonin instructor when he graduates too rite?" Aoba started struggling "Well it won't work! Even if I went along with it there's no way that kid would take his education seriously from what I've read in his files."
Danzo looked at the man "All I'm asking is that you teach your student properly, after you get your genin team, our business together will be done. I'll even let you personally choose the three genin to receive your instruction." Aoba didn't trust anything the man said he knew there had to be something more to this than teaching the Uzumaki child. "Of course… you won't be the only one tutoring the boy. I also want you to turn a blind eye to me and my ROOT training him as well as withhold certain skills he will develop under my training from his personal record."
Aoba narrowed his eyes "So he does want to make him into a weapon." "It won't work Hokage-sama has the Biju crystal ball, that allows him to keep track of all Jinchuriki within the village."
Danzo chuckled "Yes, that ball was the reason why the villagers never went as far as physical abuse when it came to the young Uzumaki because they feared that Hiruzen could be watching the boy's every move," said Danzo as he walked across the room to the table and removed the drape revealing the biju crystal ball. Aoba's eyes widened and opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off by Danzo "How do I have Hiruzen's prized crystal ball? Personally my ROOT found it far too easy to snatch it from his office in the confusion of the Hyuuga incident. If I was hokage, I'd make sure my office was secure." Danzo said looking down at the ball showing an image of the Jinchuriki sleeping in his bed before he turned back to Aoba "the reason Hiruzen has not informed anyone of the ball's disappearance is that the civilians and even some shinobi would take advantage of this. So… do we have a deal?"
Aoba just merely nodded and Danzo made a hand signal. Soon the uchiha 'ANBU' came back into view. "Good, it would be wise to up the curriculum of the academy. Have all the students learn the tree climbing and water walking exercises before they graduate; we can't have Naruto becoming too much stronger than the rest of your students. It would make things suspicious." Danzo made another hand seal before the 'ANBU' partially removed his mask and put Aoba to sleep again.

Aoba woke up in his apartment the following morning. "Was that all just a dream," he said to himself before spotting the marks from his restraints on his arms. Aoba sighed "I guess it wasn't" he thought to himself as he climbed out of bed.
Aoba began to wonder if he should just go to the hokage with the information on Danzo's plans but then he spotted a note taped to his bathroom door. The raven haired man pulled it down and read it
Dear Mr. Yamashiro,
While you were out Danzo-sama placed a modified version of the juinjutsu seals he places on his ROOT on your tongue, if you try and share any information on Danzo-sama with anyone you will die.
ROOT
