Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story

Five Years ago the Yondaime Hokage gave his life for his village by sealing the Kyuubi into his own son, not that anyone knew he was his son, His last wish was that the village would see his son as a hero, unfortunately, that's not what happened, the village blinded by their hate and fear saw Naruto as the Kyuubi reincarnated.

He was constantly glared at, they'd call him demon brat and other cruel and evil names, for Naruto this hurt he was only a five year old boy so had no idea why they called him such names, and why he was so hated.

Another thing for Naruto, it was never a good idea to be out late at night, because he was chased by drunken villagers and even Shinobi.

Birthdays for Naruto were the worst as there were fox hunts as they were called what happened in these so called hunts in the villagers would hunt Naruto, the drunken villagers would break into Naruto's apartment and drag him out, or before that the Orphanage and the owners never stopped it.

They would tell him to run and when they caught him which they always did they would beat on him, luckily it was only beatings and not anything sick like rape, the beatings always hurt they'd stab him, burn him, poison him it was so cruel.

Most ANBU would do nothing to intervene only a select few would like Neko, Inu, and Weasel, most times he would be attacked coinciding with the three ANBU on missions, they were always the worst beatings for Naruto it was like Hell, attacked for no reason well to him anyway in his opinion he'd done nothing wrong and whether he'd try and tell them that they would just attack more viciously and say liar and that he killed their families.

He had no idea what they were talking about but the attacks never stopped they would leave when they were satisfied well they knew they couldn't kill him, but that didn't stop them from beating the hell out of him.

For them it was always an insult that the next time they saw him he was fine like nothing had ever happened. For Naruto it was a lucky escape not even knowing how he heals so quickly, whatever the situation is he's thankful he's still alive, he just wants to know what he's supposed to have done and why they're lying to him, he's never hurt anyone.

We now come to the here and now, another so called Fox Hunt; luckily he wasn't asleep and heard the villagers coming, so he was able to get away from them, running on his short legs doing whatever he can to not receive another unfair beating.

He was running for his life, weaving through alleyways, using secret passageways to hide before once again running for his life knowing that eventually they will catch him they always seem to he's just not strong enough and he knows it.

Naruto was always a curious boy, whenever he's not being chased, and he would watch ninja's train one such ninja was very strange to him he had the biggest eyebrows he's ever seen not to mention his weird haircut, what was interesting though was his insane workouts, Naruto would mimic him and slowly build up some muscle in his legs which came in handy when running from villagers.

Returning to the here and now Naruto hears the villagers close to his hiding place so it's time to move again, he runs as fast as his legs will carry him, he sees the village gates and just sprints outside, normally he'd stop and wait for a while before returning.

This time was different, this time he didn't stop he just kept running, running to where not even he knows, he hears the villagers cheering, but he doesn't stop to look back, he's actually shocked that the Shinobi don't follow him, he's hardly a match for them, they could easily catch him and kill him and say it was an accident but they don't they just watch him run away.

Naruto doesn't know what he's going to do, he has no money, no spare clothes, just the clothes on him right now, many questions run through Naruto's head but the main one is what is he going to do now?

How is he going to eat? Where is he going to sleep? After thinking about this for a while he finally stops running, he looks over his shoulder but there is still nobody following him, if there was they would have caught him by now but it seems this time they let him go probably thinking he would die out here all alone.

They underestimate Naruto like they always have he's a determined kid for a five year old, he's always been alone relying on nobody but himself, he's a resilient kid, still, this is the first time he's been this far from the village, after walking for a short while he sees a small fishing village so he enters it it's more remote than the last village he passed two hours ago, he should be able to stay here for a while whilst he thinks what he's going to do.

After walking around the village for a while checking out everything he returns to the market area as he's not eaten all day and he's hungry and is running on empty. He hates thieving but he has little choice, luckily the village is quite busy today must be because of the fish being brought in.

He's able to steal several items such as, a loaf of bread, Cheese, Ham, and some apples, he even took a bag to wrap it all in, surprisingly he's not even found out.

After getting the food he quickly finds an alleyway and sits down where nobody can see him. He opens up the bag and pulls out the food and starts eating, the bread is fresh, add in the ham and cheese and it tastes amazing.

After he's eaten all the bread, cheese, and ham he starts on the apples there nice and juicy, not to mention crunchy, this is probably the best mean he's had in years.

After he's eaten he just sits there thinking of what he's going to do, 'I will return, but only when I am strong enough, fast enough, smart enough and not before, no longer will I be a punching bag to those idiots.

Until I return I will keep moving, I'll explore, still, what am I going to do for food I can't keep stealing I'm surprised I was able to steal all this without being caught.'

He noticed it's getting late so he just lies down and closes his eyes he's is tired after all. So far it's clear skies, hopefully it will stay that way not that he'll get sick or anything he's never been sick in his life not that he knows why exactly, but he hardly cares about that, after a short while he falls fast asleep.

The next days he gets up and starts walking around the village it's quite early earlier than he's ever gotten up before, he sees many fishing boats heading into the docks probably bringing in there catches of the day, Naruto walks up to one of the captains and asks if he can help.

He's only being nice but expects to be told to beat it or get attacked but surprisingly the captain doesn't hit or shout at him at all, actually they allow him to help them, for Naruto it's quite enjoyable seeing all the different kinds of fishes the captain tells him the names of each one, Naruto admits the job is smelly and he'll need a bath to get rid of the smell but for now he has a job to do and is determined to finish what he started.

Several hours later there all done Naruto thinks some of the fish looked funny, he's never eaten fish before and wonders what they taste like, When he finished with the first captains fish he helped out the other captains none of them were mean to him they all were surprised someone so young wanted to help so they allowed it.

Hours later when all the work was done Naruto started to leave until the first captain he helped puts a hand on his shoulder "Where are you going kid, are you not hungry this is hard work and you've been at it as long as we have."

Naruto shakes his head "No, sir, I'm OK," Of course his stomach decides to prove otherwise.

The captain chuckles "Seems your stomach disagrees with you, come on kid, I'll treat you to breakfast, and you did a great job kid for someone so little you're actually pretty strong."

Naruto smiles "Oh, Ok, Sir."

The Captain chuckles "The names, Yamashiro, Yamashiro Izuki, Sir, Makes me seem old kid, so what's your name then."

Naruto smiles "Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki, Mr Yamashiro."

Yamashiro grins "Well then young master Uzumaki let's go eat."

Naruto just nods and follows Yamashiro they enter a café, Naruto eats food he's never eaten before, like Sausages, Bacon, Eggs, Beans, Tomatoes, Toast and a choice of Orange Juice or Tea he tried them both. After everyone's eaten they talk about stories. Naruto's can't believe how tasty everything was he would have to look out for these foods still he'd have to figure out how to cook all this, another thing he'll have to learn.

Naruto listens to their stories some are really funny stories about being out in the ocean catching small fishes and even killing a few sharks on occasion it's all interesting to Naruto he wants to see these sharks they sound cool.

Another thing he notices is all these people seem to be friends it's nice but it also makes him sad, he's never had friends in the five years he's been alive, the boys would call him names, throw stones and dirt at him, or just chase him away.

Yamashiro sees the sad look on Naruto and nudges him "What's up young master Uzumaki."

Naruto looks at him "You all seem to be good friends; it kind of makes me sad because I've never had a friend before from where I lived everybody seemed to hate me."

Yamashiro sighs "Where is your parent's kid."

Naruto lowers his head in shame "I have no idea, I'm an orphan Yamashiro-Sama."

Yamashiro nods "Figures, because I've never seen you around here before, did you run away or something, I can see the Symbol on your t-shirt you're from Konoha right."

Naruto is scared he will take him back but he answers him "Yes, Yamashiro-Sama, I'm from Konoha but as I said I'm an Orphan, I was kicked out of the Orphanage two years ago, I live in a crappy apartment, but like I said I'm hated so I ran away, please don't take me back there, I will return someday but not until I'm ready."

Yamashiro pats him on the shoulder "No worries kid, I'm not going to take you anywhere your hated so why would I take you back from what you said its bad there, so do you know why you're hated."

Naruto sighs "I have no idea Yamashiro-Sama, they say I've done terrible things but I haven't done anything at all, but I will return like I said but when I'm ready which means when I'm stronger, faster, smarter pretty much as soon as I can handle myself and then I will become a ninja the best ninja ever."

Yamashiro smirks " A Ninja, huh, sounds good, say do you want a job, you can help us fish and bring in the fish it will build up some strength what do you say."

Naruto is shocked "You'd give me a job Yamachiro-Sama."

Yamachiro nods "Yea kid why not, as for being an Orphan you see all of us were all Orphans also so we must stick together, you help us fishing you will be fed, have a place to sleep, you will build up some strength, so how about it."

Naruto nods and hugs Yamashiro "I accept, that sounds great Yamashiro-Sama."

Yamashiro grins "Great." He looks up "Hey guys Young Master Naruto is joining the crew a fellow Orphan he wants to be a ninja so let's make him feel welcomed."

They all cheer and shake his hand and say welcome aboard. Naruto watches this and is happy, he's finally being accepted and not treated like a monster, this is a happy day for him and another good move on his part about coming here plus it sorts out many of his thoughts last night before he fell asleep.

Konohagakure Two Days Later

Neko bursts into the Hokage's Office "Hokage-Sama."

Hiruzen looks up "Ah, Yūgao, your mission was a success, I see, what has you all panicked."

Neko/Yūgao sighs "Hai, Hokage-Sama, The mission was easy, that's not why I rushed here, and I rushed here because the villagers are celebrating."

Hiruzen chuckles "It's a festival, Yūgao, do you begrudge the village celebrating a festival."

Yūgao sighs "No sir, it's not that it's something else, something I heard it's concerning Uzumaki-San apparently some stupid villagers and Shinobi chased him out of the village two days ago and he's not returned, I fear something has happened."

Hiruzen is shocked and angry "Get a team together go and find him and bring him back he's five years old too young to be out there on his own all alone, only get people you trust and not ANBU that don't like Naruto-Kun I know there are several who don't like him."

Yūgao nods "Hai, Hokage-Sama, I'll bring him home." 'Please be safe Uzumaki-Kun.' She then vanishes from the room using Shunshin.

Hiruzen sighs "I'm sorry Minato and Kushina, I have let you down, the village did not listen to your wish my friend, and now he's vanished, but we will find your son you have my word." 'I wonder how Mikoto will take it she's his godmother after all, not to mention Jiraiya being his godfather.'

Four Months Later

The ANBU sent to find Naruto returned empty-handed Yūgao codenamed Neko, Kakashi codenamed Inu and Itachi codenamed Weasel, had to return in shame they checked many villages in all directions only one village remembered seeing someone of Naruto's description.

He never stopped in the village and the villager they spoke to only remembers seeing him because he was leaving the village at the time and Naruto helped him when some items fell off his wagon. The Villager said that was four months ago. The Three ANBU gained no new Intel since that day.

Hiruzen was deeply saddened by the news he promised Minato and Kushina that they would find their son and now he's been missing for four months with no news whatsoever apart from the one sighting.

The three ANBU all liked Naruto and all took it badly. Yūgao loved Naruto like a little brother, she would buy him food and drop it off in his apartment toys also, and she'd sometimes used to cuddle him when he cried because of his mistreatment from the villagers.

For Kakashi well he did similar things as Yūgao did minus the hugging part, Naruto was his Sensei's son and Lady Kushina's little baby boy and he failed them both. He tried to adopt Naruto as did Yūgao on a few occasions but the council wouldn't allow it Kakashi and Yūgao both resented the council for that and now look what happened, Naruto's vanished, dead for all they know alone in a ditch maybe, or in the river.

All Yūgao and Kakashi could do is watch their little Otouto, as best they could, they knew it wasn't good enough and this proves it, Kakashi, hasn't cried since Obito, died, but he did when he failed to bring back Naruto.

Lastly there was Itachi Uchiha, he liked Naruto and saw a lot of Kushina and Minato in Naruto, he was also fulfilling his mother's wish as she was Naruto's godmother, and tried multiple times to adopt Naruto but like Yūgao and Kakashi was denied.

Mikoto hates the council for being so cruel to her godson, there a bunch of power hungry arseholes, who have put Naruto's life through hell and for what, something he isn't, if only they knew who his parents were things would be different.

She hated this not only her best friends son is treated like a monster but her own godson, to her they are the real monster. Sometimes she'd cry herself to sleep after hearing what Naruto had to put up with. When she heard he'd been chased out of the village she was saddened and begged Itachi to bring him back.

Her best friend must be turning in her grave at what they have done to her baby, Mikoto, did the best she could, buying him food, clothes, toys, books, washing his clothes for him, she wished she could do more but she couldn't because of the council, she asked her son Itachi, to watch over her godson, luckily, Itachi liked Naruto so he agreed, Naruto would sometimes play with her youngest son Sasuke.

When Itachi returned and informed her that they couldn't find Naruto she cried again, Sasuke found his mother and hugged her not knowing what's happened to his only friend.

Meanwhile, Naruto's having so much fun he enjoys being out on the ocean catching fish, seeing so many cool fishes, some massive even bigger than he was, some tiny he saw a few Sharks also like the Great White Shark, Bull shark, even a hammerhead shark, he loved the Great White Shark's the most killing Machines, awesome predators of the ocean someone you would not want to meet.

He's seen a lot over the four months, he made loads of new friends some of the families of the fisherman also, Yamashiro's wife, made it her goal to feed Naruto and care for him like a mother should, she couldn't have kids herself so she made it her mission to be like one for Naruto, Naruto loved all the attention he put on weight, he was more cheerful, more stronger, more faster, but now he feels it's time to move on.

When he told Yamashiro and his wife Yuki and the rest of the fisherman they were saddened not wishing him to go, the wives packed food for him, clothes, Yamashiro gave him a knife, he also gave him four month's worth of money.

Yamashiro dropped him off at Kirigakure, Yamashiro said he was insane to go here during a civil war, but Naruto didn't care, and when he sets his mind to something, there's no stopping him. When Yamashiro finally dropped off Naruto it was a sad farewell, they were like brothers or father son as some people called it.

Yamashiro again tried to dissuade Naruto again with the same result as before so in the end Yamashiro had to let him go, and hoping he'd be OK, he's still five after all. Naruto waved them all goodbye before he ran off, with all his new friends wishing him luck on his journey.

Naruto's now been in Kirigakure for over a week now, he's witnessed some evil things by Ninja's attacking civilians, cutting men, women, children and the elderly down but for what reason another thing he didn't know.

He did see some battles and watched them fight mesmerized by the fighting they different styles of fighting and cool looking Jutsu's, all the time wishing he could fight like that, some of the cool looking Jutsu's were mind-blowing to him such as Giant Water Dragons, A wall made of Water, And Water Bullets, what was the freakiest thing though was when he saw one man using bones as weapons, it sure was freaky.

A few days later we see Naruto walking down a road munching on an apple when he sees a woman with Red Hair, she's fighting with two blades, and her style is amazing, she's so quick and powerful, he hears the name Seven Swordsman of the Mist and wonders who they are but with the women having two blade maybe they were talking about her.

He doesn't know why but when she's killed her attackers he decided to follow her he's not sure why she could easily kill him, over the next few days he witnesses ninjas challenge her to Naruto they were idiots, she's obviously too powerful for them but they keep coming kind of stupid in his opinion.

The women knows Naruto's following her not that she knows why but he's not bothering her and as long as he doesn't get in the way he can do whatever the hell he wants, She actually thinks he's kind of funny he seems mesmerized by fighting the Jutsu's used he's like a big kid well he is after all, still she wonders why he's alone.

Naruto's still following her he doesn't know where she's actually going, but he enjoys watching her fight, he only wishes he could learn some of those cool moves. He watches her having another fight he hears the women call these people Missing-Nin whatever that means, This encounter would change Naruto's life for the next seven years and turn Naruto from a scrawny little brat to the Ninja he will become.
