Summary: Uzumaki Naruto, after another beating on his 5th birthday, has decided its time to take things seriously on his road to become a ninja. And he wants to show them what the so called 'dobe' can really do. With the forgotten bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, and the Kyuubi No Kitsune as his sensei, he will do just that! Strong (but not godlike)! Smart! Multi-Bloodline! Chakra Chains! Naruto. Good! Fem! Kurama. Slight Sasuke/Sakura bashing. Civilian Council Bashing Narutox? Pairings undecided. A few lines and words from Darthemius's story Everyone Has Darkness. Permission Recieved.

I had the idea for this story a long time ago, before I found this website, but I never got a chance to write it. So I've decided to start now. Pairings undecided.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. AT ALL!

Chapter 1: Naruto's Awakening

October 10th. That day was a celebration in the leaf village for the day the Yondaime Hokage defeated the Kyuubi No Kitsune. The people rejoiced at the defeat of the beast, but they also mourned at the loss of their loved ones.

But there was one person who hated October 10th, even though it was his birthday. He hated it with a fierce passion. It was a young boy, with golden blonde hair, sea blue eyes and three whisker marks on each cheek.

The boy was Uzumaki Naruto. Ever since he could remember, his life had been unfair. He had been hardly fed at the orphanage, and kicked out upon reaching the age of four. He was five now, and had been living on the streets for a year. He was currently hiding in an ally way, shivering.

'So cold...' the young blonde thought. He heard the villagers screaming as they searched for him. 'Why won't they let me be...I've done nothing wrong...'

"Here's down here!" One of them yelled to the rest, catching sight of him.

"Let's finish what the Yondaime started!" Another called. They charged into the ally and Naruto did the only thing he could. Run. He turned and ran as fast as his small legs could carry him, but a ninja in the mob didn't like that.

"Doton: Numa!"At those words the earth in front of Naruto become muddy, causing the young Uzumaki to slip and fall face first in the mud. The villagers caught up and began to beat him up. He screamed in pain.

"P-Please! Stop! It hurts!" He screamed.

"It hurt us to watch our families get killed by you!" One of them yelled at him, nailing him in the stomach with a kick, causing Naruto to cough up blood.

"I-I never hurt any of your families. H-Honest!" He tried to plead with them, but they wouldn't have any of it.

"Let's burn him alive!" A civilian yelled out, getting shouts of agreement from the others. A ninja stepped forward with a grin.

"This is for my brother you bastard!" He made hand signs. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!"From his mouth burst forth a large fireball. It engulfed Naruto, who screamed in absolute pain and anguish. He fell the the ground as the screaming stopped. The crowed cheered...for a few moments.

Several ANBU in hiding came out of the shadows, surrounding Naruto, who was breathing shallowly. The one in the dog mask- Inu -glared at the mob. "What do you fools think you are doing?! You have assaulted a child for no reason, and you, Chunin, how dare you?!"

"We were just finishing off the demon!" A civilian yelled, causing the rest of the mob to yell in agreement.

Inu looked at them coldly. "For breaking the law of the Sandaime, you are all hereby sentenced to death!" He made hand signs as fast as lightning, and lightning crackled in his hand. "Rakiri!" He sliced through every civilian and ninja there in a matter of moments.

He went towards Naruto and picked him up. "All of you go inform Hokage-sama of what has happened here. I shall take Naruto to the hospital."

"Hai!" They all disappeared, besides one. This ANBU wore a cat mask and had long purple hair.

"Will he be alright Inu-senpai?" She asked, worry evident in her voice.

"I don't know, but I don't want to know what will happen if I take any longer!" Inu told her as he used a Shushin to get to the hospital.

~One Who Shapes The Future~

Naruto's Mindscape

Naruto sat up in what looked like a large pool of dirty water. He stood, shaking, as he looked at what appeared to be a large gate. "Wh-where am I?" He whispered. He looked around where he was. On the walls were several strange symbols- 'Seals,' Naruto thought to himself, the Hokage having shown some seals to the young Uzumaki a few times- but the scariest and biggest part was the gate in front of Naruto. It was huge, with several bronze-gold bars before him. In the middle of the bars was a piece of paper with the kanji for 'Seal'.

Behind the gate came a low growl. "So...my jailer has finally graced me with his presence." A large eye opened, vermilion in color and slitted. "You came here much sooner than I was expecting. I didn't think you would be here for another few years."

Said blonde fell on his ass and stared with wide eyes at the eye. Slowly his sight adjusted to see into the darkness and saw 9 tails waving behind the beast. "Y-Your the Kyuubi No Kitsune!"

The demon chuckled. "Well, you aren't as dumb as I thought you would be."

"B-But how...the Yondaime killed you!" Naruto screamed at it.

Kyuubi roared at him. "DO NOT SPEAK OF THAT DAMN NINGEN!" She stood, her tails waving wildly behind it. "It is because of him I am stuck in this damn cage!"

"W-wait...d-did he seal you inside me?"

The demon let out a chuckle without humor. "So you figured it out? That's right, that mere ningen could not hope to defeat me, so he sealed me within you!"

At this Naruto fell to his knees, tears falling. He held his head and the Kyuubi's look became one of sadness. "Why me...Why does this have to happen to me..."

Kyuubi was silent for a long time before she spoke again. "Look gaki, both of us seemed to have gotten the short end of the stick. Never the less, I am willing to help you out."

Naruto looked at Kyuubi confused, tears still in his eyes. "Huh?"

"What is your dream gaki?"

Naruto looked at Kyuubi before closing his eyes, a small smile appearing on his face. "I...want to create peace...I want a world where children can sleep without worry of being attacked or losing family. A world where parents don't need to fight and can spend time with their kids...a world where everyone is always happy."

Kyuubi's eyes widened as, just for a moment, she saw the silhouette of another person appear behind Naruto. A relatively old man with silver hair, groving to look like two horns, wearing a white cloak with 9 Megatama design on the back, wearing a necklace with 9 megatama and having purple eyes with a ripple pattern. 'Old man...' The nine tailed demon thought. And then, for one of the first times in her life, the Kyuubi No Kitsune did something nobody thought would happen: she smiled. "That is a good dream gaki. Which is why I have an offer for you."

Naruto looked at the Bijuu. "What offer?"

"Become my student." Naruto gasped. "I will train you to become the most powerful being to walk this earth. After all, I can't have a weak host after all."

"What do you get out of this?" Naruto asked warily.

"All I want is a promise." Naruto waited. "You see, I didn't attack Konoha of my own free will, I was controlled by an Uchiha." Naruto's eyes widened. Kyuubi didn't attack Konoha on purpose? It was...controlled? "I want you to find that damn Madara...and bring him to justice!"

Naruto nodded. "I promise. I will find Madara Uchiha and bring him to justice...um...whats your name?"

Kyuubi blinked, surprised Naruto could figure out Kyuubi wasn't her name so quickly. "My name is Kurama, the ninth Bijuu."

"I'm Uzumaki Naruto!" Naruto declared to her loudly. "I'm gonna be Hokage, dattebayo!"

Kurama grinned. "Alright gaki. We begin your training tomorrow. But you have to do exactly as I say in or out of training, understood?"

"Yes, Kurama-sensei!" Naruto saluted the fox.

"I've finished healing you outside. Time to wake up gaki."

Naruto nodded as he felt a pull. He let the feeling take him as he left the Bijuu alone.

"I may have found him old man..." Kurama whispered as he lay down. "I will raise him up right...as if he were my own son..." And then Kurama shrunk in size until she had a new look. She spoke in a more feminine voice. "I look forward to training you...Naruto-kun."

~One Who Shapes The Future~

Konoha Hospital

The Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, stood over Naruto's hospital bed the following day with a worried look. At his side stood Inu. "Inu...why didn't you do anything sooner?"

"Forgive us Hokage-sama," Inu apologized. "We lost track of Naruto, he is far too good at stealth for his own good."

Hiruzen nodded. "We will have to be sure this doesn't happen again. I want you to keep an extra close eye on Naruto from now on."

"Hai, Hokage-sama." Inu agreed before disappearing in a Shushin.

Hiruzen sighed sadly. He was regretting even telling the civilian council about Naruto being a Jinchuuriki, and was furious with the orphanage as well. He had gone to visit Naruto several times over the last few months, but he wasn't at the orphanage. They told him that Naruto simply went to the park whenever he was there. He was furious with himself and the civilian council.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by an awakening Uzumaki Naruto. He groaned as he sat up, holding his head slightly. His blue eyes scanned the room until they focused on his grandfather figure. "Jiji?"

He smiled kindly. "Hello Naruto-kun, how are you?"

Naruto gained a sour face. "Is that a sick joke?" He asked in a cold tone, which caused the aged Hokage to flinch. "Why didn't you tell me Jiji?"

"T-Tell you what Naruto-kun?" He tried to shrug it off. But what Naruto said next gave him a shock.

"Why didn't you tell me I had a demon sealed in my stomach?!" He snapped.

'I'm not that bad gaki," Kurama said to Naruto, surprising the blonde.

"Kurama-sensei?!" Naruto yelled.

"Naruto-kun, who is Kurama?" Hiruzen asked, confused.

'Tell him who I am gaki, he should know I'm training you.'

Naruto nodded and explained to the Sandaime about how Kurama was the Kyuubi and how it was Madara Uchiha that had controlled the nine tailed bijuu to attack the village. He also explained how Kurama was going to be his sensei.

"Naruto-kun, how can you trust the bijuu so quickly?" The Hokage asked with worry. "What if it is tricking you?"

'I am not an "it"! I am a woman!' Kurama growled.

Naruto didn't show any surprise at this. "Kurama-sensei isn't an "it" jiji. Kurama-sensei is a woman."

The Sandaime nearly jumped in shock. "The Kyuubi is female?!"

Naruto nodded. "And I can trust her because she has been honest with me, and offered me more than anyone else has."

Hirzuen winced. "Naruto...are you sure Kyu- Kurama sorry- is trustworthy?"

Naruto nodded without hesitation. "I trust Kurama-sensei with my life."

The Hokage nodded. "Then I grant you permission to use the Hokage personal training grounds." Naruto's eyes shone brightly at this, which warmed the old Hokage's heart. "And, though you aren't really allowed to go to the Library until you are a ninja..." He took out a card and handed it to Naruto. "I will make an exception. This card will allow you to get into the Library, if the Librarian tries to question you, just show this card."

"Arigatou, Hokage-Jiji!" Naruto smiled brightly.

Hiruzen patted Naruto's head. "You are welcome Naruto-kun. Now, if you excuse me, I have to get to paperwork." He turned to leave.

'Naruto-kun, I know how to beat the paperwork, just tell him to use Kage Bushins.' Kurama told him.

"Uhh...Jiji?" Naruto called out. "Why don't you just use Kage Bushin to do the paperwork?"

The aged Hokage froze, turning to look at the blonde Uzumaki with wide eyes. "N-Naruto-kun...YOU ARE A GENIUS!" He grabbed the blonde and lifted him into the air, which Naruto liked a great deal. "THE BANE OF THE KAGES IS SOLVED! VICTORY IS MINE AT LAST PAPERWORK!" He waved him around before putting him back on the hospital bed. He immediately made several clones to do the paperwork. "I owe you one Naruto-kun."

Naruto nodded before Kurama told him to make up on that deal. "In that case Jiji, could you take me shopping...a-a lot of the stores kick me out so I can't really buy anything."

Hiruzen gained an angry look before nodding. "Well then Naruto-kun, show me these stores that have wronged you...and lets see if we can...'change their minds' on how they treat you."

'I think the old man and I will get along great.' Kurama announced with a grin. The tone used sent a shiver down Naruto's spine as he and the Hokage left the hospital.

~One Who Shapes The Future~

The two walked through the village, all the villagers unable to give hateful glares or attack Naruto while the age old Hokage was there. Naruto grinned at the villagers outrage, while Kurama broke out into giggle fits. 'What should we start with Kurama-sensei?' Naruto asked.

'Start with weapons and clothing. I'll use my chakra to modify the clothing so it grows with you.' Kurama ordered.

Naruto looked to the Hokage. "Hey Jiji, can we start with my ninja supplies?"

Hiruzen nodded. "Of course Naruto-kun." He led Naruto to 'Higarashi Ninja Supplies'. As they walked in the owner gave them both a kind smile. He was about 6 feet tall. He had chocolate brown hair and green eyes. He wore black pants, tradition ninja sandles and a white shirt.

"Welcome Hokage-sama, how can I help you today?" He asked in a deep voice.

"It's not me you are helping today, it is this young boy." He patted Naruto on the back, who looked around nervously.

"H-Hello. M-my name is Uzumaki Naruto. N-Nice to meet you sir." He stuttered, slightly afraid.

This caused the man at the desk to clench his fists in anger, as well as the aged Hokage. To think that this boy was afraid of meeting new people was ridiculous! Hiruzen promised to send a lot of people to Ibiki. "No need to be afraid of me Naruto-kun, I do not hate you unlike the foolish civilians. You are always welcome in my shop." He said kindly. "My name is Jin Higarashi. You may call me Jin."

"I-It's nice to meet you, Jin-san." Naruto said politely, a bit calmer.

"Take your time looking around Naruto-kun," Jin told him, and Naruto nodded.

'What do I need Kurama-sensei?' Naruto asked the vixen.

'300 shuriken, 150 kunai, 100 explosive tags.' Kurama told the blonde. 'If anything else catches your eye, let me know and I'll tell you if you can get it or not.' Naruto nodded and began to look around the shop. He stopped upon seeing two objects side by side. The first was a pair of gauntlets. The rims were shimmering silver and the main body was bronze. On the underside of one was a short blade, and the other had a slot area to fit a longer blade: a sword.

The object beside the gauntlets was a 28 inch long, shimmering white bladed Katana. The hilt was pitch black and the guard was silver. Dangling from the hilt was a chain where all three colors combined form a heart, a third on the right white, a third in the middle silver, and a third on the right black.

Naruto slowly walked towards them, mesmerized. 'Naruto!' Kurama yelled. 'Get those! They will be perfect for the Kenjutsu and Taijutsu style I intend to teach you!' Naruto nodded before touching the gauntlets. Immediately they shot out and latched onto Naruto's arms, surprising the blonde.

"J-Jiji!" Naruto called out surprised. The aged Hokage glanced at him. "Th-these gauntlets just latched onto me when I touched them! Whats up with that?!"

Jin's eyes widened and he looked. His breath caught in his throat. "Th-those gauntlets..."

"H-Huh?" Naruto looked at Jin. "Was I not suppose to touch them? S-Sorry!"

"I-it's not that Naruto-kun," Jin told him. "Its just...those gauntlets have never been used by anyone ever since we got them. They just bolted away when anyone tried to wear them."

Naruto blinked. "Oh...well I guess they like me?" Naruto grabbed the sword, and was surprised. He expected the weapon to be heavy, near impossible for him to pick up. But he was wrong. He lifted the blade with ease, as if he had been doing it all his life. It felt perfect in his hand. "Can I get this sword too? It feels...right."

Hiruzen looked to Naruto before letting out a smile. 'So...on accident Naruto-kun has picked up his mother's sword.' Hiruzen thought. "Of course you can, Naruto-kun." The Kami No Shinobi told him.

Naruto let out a small smile before grabbing some clothes and disappearing into one of the changing rooms. Jin looked at the old Hokage. "He is full of surprises...isn't he?"

Hiruzen smiled. "Naruto-kun will surpass us all and be one of the greatest Shinobi we have ever seen...perhaps even a good Hokage once my time is done."

Jin snorted. "Don't say that old man, you have plenty of time."

Hiruzen smiled. "You are too kind, Jin-kun. But Naruto-kun will be Hokage someday. I can see that very clearly."

"Then I'm in luck." Jin grinned. "The possible future 5th Hokage is shopping here. Could be good for business."

Hiruzen let out a laugh at that. The laughing ended, however, when Naruto came out the changing rooms, making Jin and Hiruzen gain wide eyes.

Naruto looked...incredibly good. He wore black ANBU style pants, and black ninja sandals. There were bandages on his right thigh connected to 2 Kunai Holster. Attached to the back of his pants was a shuriken pouch. He wore a chainmesh shirt, covered by a blood red T-shirt. Lifted up on his head, like a pair of sunglasses, was a mask that was clearly a Kitsune. Attached to his arms were the gauntlets. He also wore a black glove on his right hand, and bandages covered his left.

In Hiruzen's eyes, for just an instant, he saw a silhouette behind Naruto. It was a man with familiar spiky blonde haired man with sky blue eyes. He had a happy smile on his face, wearing a white cloak with red flames at the bottom. 'Minato...' Was Hiruzen's only thought.

Even Kurama could not help but blush at the look Naruto had now. Despite only being five...he looked so mature now. He would be a real lady killer in the future.

"How do I look?" The blonde asked.

Hiruzen smiled. "Very good Naruto-kun, like a true ninja." Jin nodded in agreement.

"Arigatou!" Naruto smiled. "Oh and jiji? Kurama-sensei said that she will be modifying the clothes so that they grow with me, so I don't have to keep buying new sets."

The Hokage raised an eyebrow. "She can do that?" Naruto nodded.

"Who is Kurama?" Jin asked.

"Naruto's new sensei," Sarutobi said loosely. Jin nodded in response.

'Oh,' Kurama said, grabbing her head. 'Grab some chakra paper too. Don't forget some sealing paper and ink'

Naruto nodded and grabbed it. "Jiji, i'm all ready."

The Hokage looked surprised. "Kurama wants you to practice Fūinjutsu?"

Naruto nodded. "Kurama-sensei says it will help me learn writing really quickly and also reading. Plus it can be really useful in battle if useful...at least that's what she says."

Jin nodded. "Your sensei is very smart boy."

Hiruzen smiled. "Then we are ready to buy everything, Jin-kun."

Jin nodded and looked over everything. "That will be 30,000 yen." (100 yen= 1 English Pound = 1.71 US Dollar)

Sarutobi nodded before paying for everything. The two said goodbye to Jin before leaving the store.

"What next Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked him.

'Can you use chakra gaki?" Kurama asked him.

Naruto frowned and motioned for the Sandaime to wait. 'No...not yet.'

Kurama now frowned. 'For the next part you need to be able to use chakra. Ask the old man to help.'

"Jiji," Naruto said. "Can you help me unlock my chakra? I need it for what Kurama-sensei has planned next."

He nodded. "To my personal training grounds already its seems." He and Naruto began to walk through the village, ignoring all the hateful glares Naruto was receiving.

'Oh and gaki, once you have unlocked your chakra I intend to give you a partner, like the Inuzuka's dogs.' Kurama told him.

'What do you mean?' Naruto asked.

'I have the ability to create life, as the Rikudou Sennin could before me...well I cannot do it to his extent.' Kurama admitted. 'I can only create other foxes. But I can give them certain powers and the ability to communicate with you.'

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise. 'But...if your sealed in me, how will they get out?'

'They won't be a part of the seal, so they will literally be able to leap out of you without any risk of damaging the seal.'

Naruto nodded, but an idea Kurama could not sense was slowly forming in his mind.

"Here we are Naruto-kun," Sarutobi said suddenly. "My personal training grounds."

Naruto looked in awe. "Wow!"

Sarutobi smiled. "This is where my predecessors trained after becoming Hokage. Only they and those they trained with have seen this place."

"Does that mean the Yondaime trained here also?"

The old man nodded. "Yes. Minato too trained here. He used to train here with Jiraya, one of the legendary Sannin, as I had given Jiraya permission. Do you know the Yondaime's signature jutsu?" Naruto nodded. "It is here, in this place, that the Hiraishin No Jutsu was born."

Naruto looked in even more awe. "Ano...jiji...was the Yondaime my dad?"

Sarutobi's eyes widened. "H-How did you know?"

"Well for one, there aren't that many blonde people in Konoha that have blue eyes and blonde hair, besides those people that can look into your mind, the Yondaime was one and I'm another. Secondly if you were to take away the whisker marks from my face I would look like the Yondaime as a child, from what I've seen in the pictures. And thirdly, you just told me." Naruto finished.

The Hokage's eyes widened before he sighed in defeat. "You...are far smarter than you let on Naruto-kun."

Naruto smiled. "Get used to it jiji. I intend to pretend to be dumb once I enter the academy, barely passing tests, so that I can surprise everyone when the time comes."

Hriuzen looked confused. "Why would you do that?"

"Jiji, from what I've read in books, what is a Shinobi's best friend?"

"Deception..." His eyes widened in surprise. "You devious boy Naruto-kun."

Naruto chuckled. "Ano...did he...leave anything for me?"

Sarutobi nodded. "Yes...he left you some scrolls containing his original jutsu, ones he finished, and those he did not. He hoped you would finish them in his stead, Naruto-kun."

"Do these 'original' jutsu include the Hiraishin?"

Sarutobi nodded. "Hai. However that too is incomplete."

"It is?" Naruto blinked.

"You will find out when you read his scrolls Naruto-kun."

The blonde nodded. "So...how do I unlock my chakra jiji?"

"Sit." Sarutobi told him and Naruto complied. "Now I want you to close your eyes Naruto-kun." Naruto did as he said. "Now I want you to search for something Naruto-kun. A ball of warmth in your stomach. It will be hard to find, but it is there. Tell me once you have found it."

Naruto sat there in silence for 20 minutes, which Hiruzen was worried about. For a moment he thought Naruto was one of the rare cases that couldn't use chakra at all. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Naruto. "I think I've found it jiji...its really warm...and powerful."

Hiruzen sighed with relief. "Now Naruto-kun, take that ball...and bring it to the surface." Naruto nodded and did as instructed. Suddenly, a powerful wave of chakra erupted that nearly sent the old Hokage flying. His eyes widened. 'So much chakra! And so young! Controlling it will be incredibly difficult, but...this is Naruto I am thinking about...so powerful.' Then he noticed something odd. He could see Naruto's chakra, and it wasn't blue. He heard from the Hyuuga and Uchiha chakra was blue. But Naruto's was not. No. It was glistening white.

Naruto's eyes snapped open and he stood. "I...I feel so strong...I've never felt like this before...I feel...strong...but the feeling is also warm as if..." Naruto closed his eyes, a small tear falling down his cheek. "As if I'm being hugged..."

Sarutobi let out a small smile at the blonde. 'Naruto-kun...you shall truly become one of the greatest Shinobi to walk these nations.' "Well Naruto-kun, your chakra has been unlocked. Do you need any more help?"

Naruto waited for Kurama to tell him before responding. 'Tell him to take you to the library. I'd let you go alone, but I don't want to take any risks.'

"Kurama-sensei says to take my to the library, just in case." Naruto told the Hokage.

Hiruzen nodded. "Very well Naruto-kun, lets go."

~One Who Shapes The Future~

As they walked, thoughts swarmed in Naruto's head. He closed his eyes, thinking. Eventually, he asked Kurama a question. 'Kurama-sensei?'

'Yes gaki?'

'Am I your only host?'

Kurama stayed silent for a long time before she answered. 'No. I had two hosts before you gaki.'

'Who were they?'

'The first was the Shodaime Hokage's wife: Mito Uzumaki.'

'Uzumaki?'

'Yes. The Uzumaki clan was a powerful clan before they were almost completely wiped out.'

'Oh, okay. Who was your second host?'

'...It was Kushina Uzumaki...your mother...'

His eyes bolted open and widened. "M-My mother?"

Sarutobi looked at him. "What about her?"

Naruto looked at the Hokage before looking away. "Nothing..." He went back to his conversation with Kurama. 'My mother?'

'Yes.' Kurama said, a hint of sadness in her voice. 'Your mother was my host before you. It's why you have your whisker marks.' Her voice broke. 'Naruto, I-'

'Did she love me?' Naruto asked, surprising Kurama.

'Yes.' She told him. 'I heard her final words when your father was sealing me. They both loved you with all their hearts, and deeply regretted they couldn't watch you grow up.'

'Then...it's enough for me.' Naruto told her.

'But its my fault!' She screamed. 'It's because of me your an orphan! Because of me you never knew a mother's love!'

Naruto nodded. 'But you weren't in control of yourself. You couldn't stop yourself. You couldn't tell you would be controlled again. It isn't your fault...it is Madara's. Never forget that. Okay?'

"Here we are Naruto-kun," Sarutobi cut in before Kurama could respond. "Let's go in."

Naruto nodded. "This is gonna be annoying for me." He muttered quietly as the two walked in. He got a glare from the receptionist, but it ended quickly with Sarutobi there. 'What books do I need Kurama-sensei?'

'Every book they have on Fūinjutsu, every book on chakra control- oh and channel your chakra into the chakra paper now.' Naruto nodded and pulled out the paper. Hiruzen looked curiously and waited. What happened surprised them, especially Kurama.

The paper split into 4 equal pieces. The first became water. The second burned away in blue fire. The third swirled, half of it turning black, until it hovered in the air as a yin-yang symbol. And the fourth and final piece distorted, quivering even though there was no wind, until it swirled and vanished entirely.

Naruto frowned. "Well what does that mean?"

Hiruzen recovered quickly. "Those were your affinities to the elements Naruto-kun."

"Elements?"

"Yes. Each Shinobi has an element or two that they are in tune with. But you are very special, as you have more then that." Hiruzen explained.

"What are my affinities then?"

"The paper splitting, that was an affinity to wind jutsu. The paper turning to water was a sign for water a strong water affinity. The burning blue fire? ...I do not know, I assume a very strong fire affinity. The third piece there? I believe that is a sign for Yin-Yang Release. That is probably the most rare jutsu style, as I have only heard of it in legends. And the final piece, the one that distorted and disappeared? That, I remember clearly, is also rare. It is a sign of Space-Time Ninjutsu. Your father had an affinity to Space-Time as well, but not nearly as strong as yours is Naruto-kun."

Naruto's eyes sparkled. 'Gaki, I should probably tell you...for your training, we won't really be in the village.' Narut's eyes widened at Kurama's words and he looked like he was about to cry.

"What's wrong Naruto-kun?" Sarutobi asked.

"Kurama-sensei..." Naruto sniffs. "Says I won't be in the village for my training."

The Hokage's eyes widened but he nodded. "But...how will you go to the academy when you enroll?"

Naruto relayed that question to Kurama. 'I am going to teach you right now very special Ninjutsu. It will use a third of your chakra, and take 2 gallons of blood from your body. It is called the Chi Bushin No Jutsu (Blood clone technique). It will not dispel, but when it is killed it will become a pile of blood, or it will become a pile of blood if you allow it to.'

Naruto nodded. "I will be using a special Bushincalled the Chi Bushin. It uses 2 gallons of my blood and a third of my chakra, plus it will not dispel unless it is killed or I allow it to." The Hokage's eyes widened, he had never heard of this technique before. Naruto quickly grabbed all the books he needed, leaving the Library quite empty, and he checked them out. The Hokage stored them in a seal for him.

"When will I see the real you again Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked.

Naruto looked at him. "In 7 years, when I'm twelve. I could probably graduate early. But 7 years should be long enough for my training to be complete."

Hiruzen nodded. "Make your Bushinquickly then."

Naruto nodded and made an unfamiliar hand sign. It looked like the Dragon handsign, but the rings fingers were stuck out as well, connected to the pinky fingers, and the thumbs were apart. He felt Naruto's chakra spike. "Chi Bushin No Jutsu!" Naruto's blood came out his mouth, and formed an exact replica of Naruto. Naruto looked to the Hokage. "Buy him a bright Orange jumpsuit. He will be acting stupid so that he is underestimated. He will pretend to be dumb on purpose, act like an idiot, but he will be perfect until I return."

Hiruzen nodded. "Goodbye Naruto-kun, I will see you in 7 years." He tapped a seal on his cloak and some scrolls popped out. "These are your father's scrolls on his jutsu. I didn't feel it was safe to just leave them anywhere else, so I kept them with me at all times." He gave them to Naruto before hugging his surrogate grandson, who hugged him back.

"Goodbye Ji...Hokage-sama." Naruto saluted, smiling at Hiruzen's surprised expression before turning around and leaving quickly. The Hokage sighed and looked to his clone.

"Come along Naruto-kun." He said. "Time to get you an apartment."

~One Who Shapes The Future~

Several hours later, Naruto was far from Konoha in a forest. It had been untouched, no sign of any battle or any human being anywhere near there at all.

"So...what should I start with Kurama-sensei?" Naruto asked.

Kurama grinned, and though Naruto couldn't see it, he still shivered. 'Gaki, get ready for seven years of hellish training!'

Naruto gulped, but he grinned, the gears of fate beginning to spin as he did. He had only one thought. 'Bring it on!'

And that is chapter 1! Phew, that took much longer than I thought it would to write, but I'm glad its done. Anyway, you can tell me who you want Naruto to be with FROM THESE PEOPLE!
