Chronicles Of The Kitsune

Hello all, and welcome to the first chapter of Chronices Of The Kitsune. This is my first Naruto fanfic, so be gentle with the reviews. Lol

Would like to thank Lil' Vix and Zvblade for being my betas'.

Summary: What if the side of kyuubi minato sealed inside naruto was kind, instead of evil? How would this have changed his life, and what if kyuubi knew the TRUE secrets of narutos' ancestry, and could awaken the god-like powers hidden away in his blood?

(A/N) To those who may not like the idea of Naruto having mutiple love interests, and eventual girlfriends and wives, you need to remember one thing. Naruto is going to be extremely strong in this fic. With the secret doujutsu of the Uzumaki clan, the Konoha Council will invoke the CRA (Clan Restoration Act) on him. This insures that the power of his clan doesn't die if he does.

Chapter 1: Meeting the tenant.

He was running. That seemed like all he did his entire childhood. He ran. Ran for his life on a daily basis. But today was worse than any other day of the year. Today was Oct. 10th, his birthday. This boy was Naruto Uzumaki. Every year, the villagers would gather at his small apartment, throwing rocks, sticks, kunai, anything to get him to come out. This year was no different. They were yelling, throwing things, shouting their hatred for the boy.

"Kill him"

"Drive him out of the house"

"Let's finish what the Yondaime started"

Naruto sat in a alleyway, hiding behind the dumpster of his apartment building. Crying, praying that the mean villagers wouldn't find him.

"Why do they always do this to me?" the young boy sobbed to himself. "I never did anything to the-" He was cut off as an Anbu member landed in front of him. Naruto looked up, glad that the Anbu was there. That meant that the beatings would stop, at least for tonight.

"Thank you, Anbu-san." Naruto said with a small smile through his tears. " I'm glad you're her-"

The Anbus' fist connected with narutos' face. The man picked up naruto by the scruff of his shirt, taking him out of the alley. He threw naruto into the street, alerting the rioting villagers.

"There he is, lets get him!"

"Kill the demon!"

"Make him pay for this villages' destruction!"

They started to mercilessly beat on the young child, while the anbu, the same anbu that was supposed to be watching this boy, protecting him, was watching with an impassive expression. The villagers were laying into the boy, when the anbu told them to stop. "Why should we stop, Anbu-san? This demon needs to die", called a villager.

The anbu started to walk torwards the blonde, drawing his kodachi, "I never said he didn't need to die", he said in a cold tone. He rushed the blonde, who had somehow gotten to his feet. The anbu took one quick slash, striking naruto on his right shoulder, traveling all the way to his left hip.

Narutos' eyes clouded. He fell to his knees, "Why?", he whispered before falling to his face.

The crowd erupted in cheers, happy that the demon had finally been slain. The cheers abruptly stopped as three people landed in the center of the crowd, making a circle around the blonde. The first two were anbu, one with gravity defying silver hair and a dog mask, the second with shoulder length black hair in a ponytail and a weasel mask. The third was none other than the Sandaime himself. The third hokage, the man nicknamed 'god of shinobi'. This man was trembling in rage, blasting his KI (killing intent). The crowd of villagers were finding impossible difficult to breathe.

"Tiger, what the hell do you think you're doing!" the old man shouted. "Weasel, take this man into custody. Dog, deal with these people. I'm taking Naruto to the hospital."

"Yes, hokage-sama", weasel and dog said simultaneously. Weasel sped forward slapping a chakra suppression seal on tiger, then chopped the back of his neck, knocking him out.

He picked up the fallen anbu, then shunshined away. Sarutobi gentlely took naruto into his arms, "Please be ok, naruto", he murmured before shunshining away as well.

Dog took a heavy breath, "You idiots have no idea who that boy is. He's more important than you could possibly imagine!" Dog (aka, kakashi) knew exactly who Naruto was. He had his suspisions about narutos blonde hair and blue eyes, because without the whiskers, he was a miniature version of his sensei. Sarutobi had told him everything after Kakashi questioned the old man, then swore him to secrecy.

"That demon is nothing but a monstrosity!", a random villager shouted. Dog growled, unleashing his KI, " You just broke the thirds' law", he said with a vicious scowl. He charged, cutting down all the villagers involved in the abuse of his senseis' sochi (son). After the deed was done, he wiped the blood off his blade, " That boy is like a little brother to me", Dog whispered, " I will not stand to see him beat down like that", he said with not an ounce of remorse in his voice.

Naruto opened his eyes, looking around, coming to the realization that he had no idea where he was. 'This isn't the street, but i'm not in the hospital, where am I?' he thought. He stood up, and looked around some more, taking in his scenary. He was in a tight, hallway-like passage. There was a thin layer of water on the ground. There were no lights, yet he could see just fine. The ceiling seemed non-existant.

"Maybe they threw me in the village sewers", he said with distaste.

He started walking, looking for an exit. He walked and walked, but these sewers seemed like a maze.

"Dammit, how do I get out of here!" he screamed. Then he heard a faint voice 'THIS WAY' the voice called.

Naruto turned torwards the voice. He had no idea why, but he started to follow it. This voice led him to an emormous chamber. The chamber itself wasn't the reason of interest, but the gate in the back captured narutos' eye. The gate was as tall and as wide as the room. In the middle of the gate, there was a tag with the kanji for 'Seal' on it. Naruto was hesitant to proceed, until he heard the same voice. "Come closer, young one. Don't worry, I will not harm you". Naruto walked forward cautiously,"who are you?" the blonde asked. "I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune, little one.", he told the boy. "I am the reason those insects chase and beat on you. I am sealed into your body through that seal on your stomache."

Naruto lifted up his shirt,"I don't see anything", he said, completely innocent.

The Kyuubi chuckled,"Trust me, it's there", he said with a small grin. " The truth is that, 6 years ago, I was placed under a man named Madara Uchihas' genjutsu. He influenced me to attack the village you live in.", Kyuubi explained to naruto,"Under his control, I laid waste to this village. It was only after this that the Yondaime Hokage sealed me away in your body." Naruto was silent, then looked up to the seemingly invisible fox behind the gate.

"So, you're the reason i'm hunted like an animal on a daily basis?", he asked with a low voice.

Kyuubis' heart hurt at the question. "In a way, yes", he answered,"I only just now woke up from the residual effects of the genjutsu. I looked through your memories, and i'm disgusted with the way they treat you. The fools think you are me, reincarnated. I know that nothing I say can make it up to you, but i'm...i'm sorry", he whispered, starting to cry. The demon became visible to naruto, who was shocked by his emormous size. Also, this almighty demon was crying. Crying, for what he had done to this young kits life.

"Ky-kyuubi? Why are you crying?", naruto asked. "Wh-what do you mean?", kyuubi asked,"You're life has been ruined because of me. They hate and beat on you, just because they think you're-

" Naruto cut him off," They don't know anything. I can't stand them, but it's not your fault", he said looking kyuubi in the eyes," You said it yourself, your weren't in control of your actions. You were basically possessed. If there is anyone to blame, it's that madara person you mentioned. Just because you've been sealed into me, doesn't mean I hate you. Actually, you seem nice to me", he said with a smile.

Kyuubi was speechless. This human, this child, was extremely mature for his age,'and he looks just like those two', he thought with a small smile. "S-so, you don't hate me?" the kitsune asked cautiously.

Naruto smiled," Of course I don't hate you, why would I? You're a really nice guy" he walked in between the bars of the gate, and gave the emormous kitsunes' leg a hug.

"You're very mature, naruto", kyuubi smiled. "Ok, I've made my decision, I'm going to help you out." "What do you mean, kyuubi-san?", asked naruto. "First, I don't want you to call me kyuubi. That's just a title. My true name is Kurama. I'm going to unlock the potential hidden away in your blood. You don't know this, but you have in you the blood of the greatest shinobi of all time."

"I do?" naruto asked in a whisper, not believing it.

"You do indeed. His true name is still a mystery, but he was known as the Rikudo Sennin. He was the man who created the shinobi arts. His blood flows through your veins", kurama explained to naruto.

"How?" the blonde asked.

"Well, your clan are his direct descendants. You have a few of the signs of having some of his abilities, like your immense chakra reserves."

"Chakra reserves, what do you mean, kurama-kun?" naruto asked innocently.

"Oh, i'm kurama-KUN now, am I?", the fox snickered. Naruto blushed. "Don't worry kit, it's ok", kurama said with a smile. "Chakra is the lifeblood of all things. It's what keeps everyone, and everything alive. It's also how a shinobi uses any and all kinds of jutsu. Some individuals, such as yourself, are born with an abnormal amount of chakra. If I were to rank your amount by comparing you to the shinobi of this village, I would rate you at a high-genin, low-chunin." Kurama explained to naruto.

"Is that a good thing?" naruto asked the fox demon.

The kitsune laughed loudly,"Considering that you're only 6 years old, thats remarkable. But what I'm going to do for you is much better." Kurama said with a smile.

"What are you going to do, kurama-kun?" the blonde asked his new best friend.

"I'm going to awaken the doujutsu that lies dormant in your genes. The doujutsu that made the Rikudo Sennin the most powerful shinobi in history, the Rinnegan", Kurama told his container. Naruto raised his hand. Amused, kurama said "Yes?"

"Kurama-kun, whats a doujutsu?"

Kurama nearly face-faulted, then reminded himself,'He's just a kit, only 6 years old'. "A doujutsu involves techniques that are inherent in the eyes that do not require hand-seals. The rinnegan in particular has exceptionally powerful techniques, once mastered. But, in order to gain the rinnegan, I'm going to have to modify your body."

At this, naruto became afraid."Modify my body! What do you mean?" he said in a panic.

"Kit, relax. I'll explain. Your clan, known as the Uzumaki, were the sages' direct descendants. However, only pure-blooded uzumaki had even the slightest chances of awakening the rinnegan. Since you are only half-uzumaki, you have zero chance. Unless I modify your dna."

"Wait, how do you know I'm only one half uzumaki?" naruto asked curiously.

Kurama sighed, he had hoped he wouldn't have had to talk about this. "Naruto, what i'm about to tell you is...sensitive, and I can't tell you all of it, not yet. Will you trust me?" he asked naruto.

Naruto nodded, hugging kuramas' leg again."It's okay, kurama-kun. I trust you", he said with a bright smile.

'I'm really starting to like his smile'. "Well naruto, I knew your parents. You're mother was an uzumaki, and your father wasn't. For your own safety, I can't tell you who they were, but what I can tell you is that they loved you. Very, very much."

Naruto was stunned," Why can't you tell me who they were?" he asked through increasing tears.

"Naruto, both of your parents were extremely powerful shinobi, who had many enemies. If you knew who they were, you could be placed in danger. I refuse to get you hurt anymore than I already have. But once you become a chunin, I promise to tell you everything. But one thing I can tell you now, is that they both loved you very much. More than you'll ever know." Kurama said with a smile.

Naruto was almost drowning in a river of tears. "S-s-so, t-they d-didn't a-abandon me?" he asked through his sniffles.

"Of course not, they loved you, naruto-kun", the giant kitsune said with a smile.

Naruto broke out a silly grin as he wiped away his tears," so, I'm naruto-KUN now, huh?" he asked with his trademark grin.

"Heh, smartass brat", kurama chuckled, surprised at how calling the kit 'naruto-kun' made him feel good. "So, getting back on track. Me modifying your dna will allow me to make you into a pure-blooded uzumaki, giving you the red hair common amoung the uzumaki clan, and my influence will make unlocking the rinnegan a sure thing. The only problem is that it will take about two years to complete the process. It should be done by the time you enter the academy. Until then, I'm going to train you in the basics of being a shinobi."

"The basics?" naruto asked,"what will I be doing?"

"Well, first we will be working on chakra control, my personal taijutsu, weapon accuracy, basic academy level jutsu, fuinjutsu, and lastly my own kitsune techniques."

Naruto was estatic. He was going to do everything in his power to make his parents, that anbu member Dog, the old man, and most importantly his new best friend Kurama, proud of him. He looked up at the fox, and kurama was shocked at the level of determination he saw in the blondes' eyes. "I'll make you proud, kurama-kun", he said to the fox," I'll make you all proud", as he hugged the kitsunes' leg one more time.

"Well naruto-kun, I think it's about time you woke up, the old man is getting pretty worried about you." kurama told the young blonde.

"Ok, kurama-kun. Will I still be able to talk to you?" naruto asked truthfully concerned that he wasn't going to be able to talk to his new best friend.

"Yes, you will", genuinely happy about their mental connection,"all you have to do is concentrate on me, and I'll hear you."

"Ok, kurama-kun", naruto said leaving the cage," I'll talk to you later, ok?"

"Ok, naruto-kun. See you later", as naruto vision faded to black.

Naruto opened his eyes. Seeing that he was in the hospital, he looked to his right to see the Sandaime. "Hey old man. How ya doing?" he asked with a small grin.

"Naruto, you're awake! How are you feeling?", concerned for his surrogate grandson. "I'm doing ok, I guess. Hurting."

Sarutobi trembled in anger, pissed that the villagers were still doing this."I'm sorry, naruto-kun. I'm so sorry."

"It's ok, old man. I now know why they chase and beat me, and I want you to know, I'm ok with it", dropping the bomb on the sandaime.

Sarutobi was shocked."You know about the kyuubi, naruto-kun!?", the hokage asked in a panic, fearing the worst.

"Hey calm down, old man. It's cool. Kyuubi and I have come to an understanding, so don't worry about it." He decided with kurama to not tell the old man about everything yet, as it would only complicate matters.

"Really? That seems unlikely, naruto-kun", not sure that naruto could actually come to an understanding with the most powerful demon in history.

"I did, really", naruto said while scratching the back of his head with a silly grin." He's actually a nice guy, once you get to know him.

'Hey, bite me', kurama joked, feigning being hurt.

'You know i'm joking, kurama-kun'. 'I know, naruto-kun'

The sandaime seemed satisfied, for now. "Ok, naruto-kun. You seem to have things under control. Do you want to know why the kyuubi was sealed into you?" he thought he could help naruto with his situation.

"No it's ok, I already know", naruto said shocking the sandaime. "The kyuubi already told me. Hey, can I get some rest now, old man? I mean, I kinda almost died back there, so I'm pretty tired."

"Of course you can, naruto-kun. We can talk later, ok?" the old man turned to leave narutos' room.

"Hey old man. Can I ask a favor? he asked the sandaime. Sarutobi smiled," Of course you can, naruto-kun. What is it?"

"Can you tell dog and weasel I said thank you? I want to give them my gratitude. To you as well, old man." Naruto said with a small smile.

Sarutobi smiled, while a small tear slid down his cheek."Of course I can. Sleep well, naruto-kun."

"See ya later, old man", naruto whispered as he drifted to slumber. Sarutobi walked out of the room. 'He's going to be interesting, minato, kushina. Just like the two of you.

'Things are certainly going to pick up from here', thought kurama. 'But I'll do anything to help naruto-kun. I owe him that much. Heh, he has his fathers' hair and eyes, but her face and attitude. Such a curious child' he thought as he drifted off to slumber, looking forward to the future.

(A/N) And that's chapter one:) The next chapter is going to be a two year time-skip. Let me know if there is anything I can improve. R&R, see ya!
