A/N: Sorry about not updating my other story for a while and this idea just kept bothering me so I just had to write this. I might delete the other story though due to a lack of originality and inspiration unless something happens to change my mind. As far as I've seen, this story will have a (hopefully) completely original theme. The disclaimer will be in the summary as I really don't want to repeat writing it.

Anyways, I won't be able to update all that much due to a new school because my mom for some odd stupid reason decided to send me to an even harder, more boring, yet somehow less complicated school in order to improve my grades. Shoot, the only reason why they were so bad to start with is because I was still getting used to the old school!

Enough of my rant though, the main reason why you're reading this is for the story so here it goes…

Chapter 1

Keys

Wind is a very mysterious force. It is the base for many elements and yet is easily overlooked.

Like water, it will always find a way around obstacles and, given enough time, will even be able to destroy the most powerful of structures.

Like fire, it is wild and easily will escape control and damage the surrounding. It is a free spirit and cannot be controlled, but only guided.

Like lightning, it is fast and deadly, able to strike at an enemy before they even know what happened, without being seen or leaving a trace.

Like earth, it can stand up to any opponent and take constant barrages and will sometimes go so far as to reverse the damage, albeit in a different way.

Yet the wind is the base as water would freeze solid and be unable to move without heat that is taken away with the vacuum-like effect of air. Fire would die out with no oxygen as fuel. Lightning would dissipate as the air is used for static. Earth can be destroyed by either being torn to shreds by a tornado, or just by pure force like that of a hurricane. Wind is known as the key to life while the other elements are the doors.

ooOoo

It was a lovely day outside. All the people were busy; the ninja were helping out around the village, even Tora the Demon Cat could not be seen around the village. It was truly a peaceful day in the village of Konoh-"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" (Credit for this paragraph not mine) Okay, maybe not so peaceful after all.

At the middle of the village stood the hokage tower where scores of ANBU could be seen rushing back and forth. "Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama! It's Naruto! He pulled another prank! The entire ANBU headquarters is covered with paint!" shouted one of the men.

Inside the office sat an old man by the name of Hiruzen Sarutobi, also known as "The Professor of Konoha" and the Sandaime Hokage. Sighing, he asked," He is but an 8 year old and he was still able to avoid all the ANBU? Are you telling me that a new academy recruit is better than the top ninja of the village?"

Twitching, the ANBU responded," We both know that the only reason why the council even allowed the kid into the academy was because of his skill and proficiency at this. That and Danzo but he's another story."

Putting a finger to his mouth, Hiruzen said," You shouldn't talk about that, after all, the walls have ears Kakashi. Do me a favor and go catch him. Oh, and try to make sure that nobody will try to harm Naruto. Though the ANBU are loyal to me and the village, they might think they are doing the village a favor by killing him."

Eyes widening at the thought, though no one could tell behind his Dog mask, Kakashi answered, "Hai Hokage-sama!" before vanishing with a swirl of wind and leaves.

ooOoo

"Hahahahaha! Suckers! You can't catch me; I'm the Prankster King of Konoha! Yelled a blonde boy dressed in an orange jumpsuit with the jacket off tied at his waist revealing a black muscle shirt underneath showing his fine-toned, yet slightly mal-nourished body. He had two cobalt blue eyes with six marks on his cheeks resembling whiskers along with golden blonde hair.

The orange, black, yellow combination added to his whisker marks gave him a slight tiger-like image which was well worn with the grace that he sped through in order to outrun and maneuver the ninja chasing him.

The chase throughout the village continued as several cries of anger came as a dark-orange blur sped past and bumping into people. Peculiarly, a few cries of cheering came as well to the ninja saying," Go kill him! Yeah! Kill the demon!"

Giving no sign that he had heard them, the young blonde zoomed away and nearly outran the guards when one ANBU with a strange mask started to join the chase.

"Hmmm, don't remember seeing him at the base before." Thought Naruto. As the ANBU gained ground and Naruto got farther away from the village, his energy left him in a heap in a forest just outside of Konoha.

Thinking he had lost the strange ANBU, Naruto sat up straight and concentrated on getting his breath back. Suddenly, a low whistle was heard before seven shuriken all impaled themselves into Naruto.

Wincing in pain, he removed the shuriken and leapt up before being brutally knocked to the ground by the ANBU. "W-Who the hell are you!" asked a, now frightened, blonde.

Taking out his nin-jato in a reverse grip, he answered," I was sent by Danzo-sama to eliminate you as you are now no longer obtainable to him and have become a threat to his plans under the Hokage's control."

Closing his eyes, Naruto thought, This is how I'm going to die? This is pathetic, even for me. He waited. And waited. Yet the blow never came. Opening his eyes, Naruto glanced up only to see the ninja holding his nin-jato in the air, yet never coming down. Weird, it's almost as if he's frozen thought Naruto. Getting up, Naruto was about to poke the ninja before a massive headache came and he promptly passed out.

ooOoo

"Uggggghhhhhh, what the hell happened?" Currently, our favorite blonde was hanging upside down from a tree by a branch that had caught on to his pant leg.

Looking around, the Uzumaki was able to comprehend that it was evening and that all his kunai that he had found around training areas had fallen out of his pocket. There wasn't much he could do but try to get up and break the branch with his hands.

About an hour later of constant grunts and groans, Naruto had nearly given up. Come on, just a little farther! I can do this! Thought Naruto before something happened that had Naruto falling in surprise. Literally.

While trying to grab the branch, Naruto had become desperate and was wishing that he had something long and sharp to cut the branch when there was a small distortion that had come from his hand and cut the branch, causing him to fall to a surprisingly soft landing.

Curious as to what could've broke his fall, he turned only to see a sight that changed him; though for better or worse, he would never know. He had landed on top of the dead body of the ANBU that had been chasing him. The body itself was slashed in multiple places while it looked like other parts were crushed due to extreme pressure.

Grabbing his gut, he rolled off the dead body before puking several times before even going to dry heaving for another several minutes. Finally able to calm himself, he wiped his body and hands on the ground to get the blood off. Now clean, he picked himself up and walked home hoping none of the people would see his clothes covered in blood and get the wrong idea.

Two and a half hours later he was home and eating instant ramen when a thought came to his head. What was that thing that cut me down from the tree? All I did was imagine a blade and- hey! I wonder what happens If I do that again? Holding his hand up, he imagined the distortion he saw from earlier only to see the same blade.

Startled, he lost concentration and the 'blade' exploded in a burst of air blowing him off his seat. "Air?" Naruto asked himself. Wondering why, the blade burst into air, he came to the conclusion that the blade itself was condensed air thinned into a blade as sharp as the one he pictured. Suddenly, a foxy (couldn't help myself) grin appeared on his face as he came to another conclusion.

Let's see, if I imagine a blade and it appears then what if… Pointing his hand at one of his empty ramen cuts, it imploded on itself due to Naruto sucking all air away from the center. The blonde stared wide-eyed at the cup before bursting into laughter." Holy shit! This is sweet! I've got to show everyo-"Pausing in his words, Naruto thought about a phrase that had stuck into his head from listening at the academy to one of his sensei. 'Remember, a shinobi's most powerful weapon is deception.'

Deciding that keeping his ability a secret, he was about to go to sleep dreaming about blowing stuff up when a voice sounded in his head. "So, how do you like your ability kit?"

Startled, he yelped looking around the room. Seeing no one, he called out," Come out where I can see you!"

Hearing a chuckle, he spun around before hearing," I'm inside your head kit. Or at least your soul. Anyways, I can hear you just fine if you would just direct your thoughts to me."

'What the hell's going on? What are you doing in my head? Forget that, How the hell did you get in my head?' asked the startled Naruto.

Amused, the voice answered," I'll humor you. I am the great chakra demon of legend known as the Kyuubi no Youko or the Kyuubi no Kitsune. I am in your head due to an attack against me which ended up with me attacking the village. One thing led to another and next thing I know, your dad sealed you into me."

" About my question from earlier though, the reason why I asked is because of you having a near death experience, my chakra leaked into you and as I can control my elemental affinity with perfect control, your cells mutated so you can control yours as well which is wind, though you have a slight water affinity."

'Really? Cool!' thought Naruto. A thought struck him though and he asked 'Wait…did you say my dad sealed you into me?'

Kyuubi cursed himself for the slip up before lying," No. Anyways, you should probably be getting to sleep now so good night!"

Naruto was about to stop him when he heard the sound of heavy snoring before cutting his connection and going to sleep. "….What's a Kyuubi?"

A/N: You have to remember; Naruto just entered the academy and has no idea about history.
