Hey, this another one of my many fanfics that I am trying to upload. Please enjoy, for this be another Naruto story.

Prologue

It was October 10th and it was the 6 year anniversary of when the Yondaime defeated the Kyuubi no Youkai. It was then a young boy with spiky blonde hair was running away from a mob of adults. He ran as fast as his short legs could carry him. His cerulean eyes held fear and unshed tears. Tear stains were on his whiskered cheeks. This boy was Naruto Uzumaki, Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Youkai.

Now, even though the Yondaime Hokage gave his life to seal the great Kitsune within a new born babe. Everyone, except a select few, saw this small malnourished six-year old as the great Kitsune incarnated. So, ever since the time Naruto could walk, he has been abused for not was his fault. But the beatings were worse on his birthday. And right now he was running for dear life, hoping that the nice man with the dog mask would show up in time to save him.

He saw an alley he could hopefully out run the mad crowd that was following him with a lot of beating tools. As soon as he turned, he saw his mistake. Dead end! Oh no! Skidding to a halt, Naruto looked around for a hiding spot. There was none. The one time the Maintenance guys do their job, he thought as he turned to face the crowd. One man waved a thick metal pipe as he said, "Nowhere to run DEMON! We now shall finish the job!" The rest cheered and moved in on the scared child.

About two hours later when the crowd finally left the alley. Behind them, in the darkest corner was a small bloody mess. It was Naruto. Broken bones stuck out of his bruised and bloody flesh. Internal bleeding from ruptured organs. He was breathing in short gasps. As he began to fall unconscious, he saw the dog mask and heard him say, "Was I too late to save him?" with that, Naruto fell unconscious.

Naruto woke up face down in water. Scrambling to a sitting position, Naruto saw that he was in what appeared to be a sewer. "Where am I?" he asked to no one. He looked on the walls and saw that there were two sets of pipes. One was a deep blue and the other one was a blood red.

Quickly standing, Naruto decided to wander around. He soon came across a corridor where a deep breathing was coming from. Curious, Naruto followed the corridor until he came into what made him pause. The room itself was at least as tall as 3 Hokage towers stacked on top of each other. But what made him pause was the giant cage that filled what appeared to be the other half of the room. In the middle of the cage door was a small slip of paper that had the kanji for "Seal" written upon it.

But Naruto was real curious now. The breathing seemed to be coming from behind the cage. He walked closer and when he got close enough, claws rammed the cage, causing Naruto to fall flat on his butt. A giant red eye appeared from behind the cage. An evil voice soon spoke, "What the-? A whelp? You better have a good reason for disturbing my nap." Naruto swallowed the fear that was rising in his throat and told the voice. "To be honest? I have no idea. One minute I was beaten within an inch of my life, the next, I'm here, talking to you."

The voice was silent. Then it spoke again, "What's your name child?" "Naruto Uzumaki. But everyone, aside from Mr. Dog and Jiji-san, calls me 'The Demon Brat of the Slums.'" "'Demon Brat'? But I do not smell any Youkai blood in you." "I think it has something to do with that I'm an orphan who was born on the day the Kyuubi no Youkai attacked my village." Again, the voice was silent. "How old are you?" "I'm six sir." "Six?... YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I'VE BEEN STUCK HERE FOR SIX GODDAMN YEARS?" Naruto covered his ears as the voice yelled. It gave an angry sigh and Naruto decided to say, "You know, bitching about it probably won't help." "You're right whelp. Now, do you know where we are?" "Beats me mister. My best guess, a sewer." The voice laughed. "Nice deduction kid. But we are really inside your mind." Naruto gave a "you have got to be shitting me" stare. "You're lying." "Oh am I? Think of a different place and I guarantee that we'll go there." Naruto harrumphed and thought of the nice people's ramen stand. It was a few seconds later that he was indeed, standing right out front of Ichikaru's Ramen.

Again, Naruto fell flat on his butt. "Holy Shit! Is this legit?" the voice's laughter boomed from behind Naruto. "Goddamn, a ramen stall? Kami you have ramen on the brain." Naruto turned around and whatever retort was going to come out of his mouth disappeared. As well as all other forms of thought. The source of the voice was a giant nine tailed Kitsune. It was wearing a thick metal collar with a tag that said "Seal".

The face of the Kitsune formed into the form of laughter and a laugh came from it. "What's the matter whelp? Never seen the Great Kyuubi no Youkai before?" It was then, Naruto had an epiphany. Why he was the only one who was ever beaten. Why Jiji-san always asked Mr. Dog to keep him save. He was the jailor of the great Kitsune. "But, how?" "Beats me kid. All I know is that the Yondaime summoned Shinigami-sama to seal me with in a new born. And here we are, 6 years later."
"So, I really a Demon?" "Kami no kid. You are nothing more that my jailor, jail and warden." "Hey, do you mind if I ask you a question?" "Sure, right now, your body is in the hospital. So, until you feel like waking up, you and I have all the time in the world." "Okay, well, thanks for the info. So, why did you attack Konoha?" The Kitsune sighed and fixated himself into a more comfortable position.
"Alright kit, settle down into a comfy spot." Naruto climbed up and was now resting on Kyuubi's shoulder. "My tale begins when I stepped down from being the Boss Kitsune Clan Summon."

Flashback:

Kyuubi let out a sigh of relief of finally never having to paper work again. He was leaving the building of the Kitsune Clan Council and was on his way home. His mate was burdened with their first kit. So, he hurried his way home, since she seemed to give birth any day now. He smiled as he thought of having his kit romping with him in their cave while his mate watched on with a smile.

It was a little while later when he finally reached his cave. Silence greeted him. That stared the worrying. He continued farther into the cave and the sight that greeted him nearly caused the great Kitsune to freeze forever. His mate was dead and behind her dead body was the small dead body of a kit.
What was worse was the face that his mate's throat was sliced. Kyuubi ran up to his dead mate and kit. Soon, he howled in pain and rage. Pain for the love of his life and first child to be dead. The rage for whoever killed his mate and his kit.

Some days later

The Kyuubi no Kitsune was sitting in front of a grave. It was the grave of his wife and daughter. He wanted to name his daughter Anna, in demon tongue meaning "warmth". The heavens were giving their sorrow to him as well, for ever since he saw them, the heavens have been pouring.
Flashback End

"It was not long after that I met a man who had red eyes with three tonaes. One minute I was in front of Jenny and Anna's grave, the next, I was sealed up in you." Naruto had begun crying after hearing the Kyuubi's mate and innocent child being murdered. He sniffed before speaking, "So, that man somehow took control of you and caused you to attack Konoha." "Correct and the eyes where of what you Humans call the 'Sharringan'." "But why would an Uchiha want to blame you?" "I have no idea. But I guess the reason on why he had the ability to sneak up on me was the fact that I was still grieving." "Hey, they say it takes a year to grieve."

"True kit. Hey, you know what?" "What?" "I'm going to take you under my wing." "Why?" "Because, from what I can from your memories, you've led a shitty life. I'm surprised that you ain't bat shit crazy." "Wait, when did you look through my memories?" "When you touched me, I got a blast of your memories. And right now, I want to actually level that hell hole called 'Konoha'." "Really? Why?" "Kit, not even us Demons treat children in such a fashion. Since children are so rare in Demon Realm, we treasure them."
"Wow. So, they are the Demons?" "In a sense. But for now, why don't you rest. You've had a big day." "Can I change the setting?" "You're mind kit." Naruto nodded and soon, the Ichikaru stand melted away and the Kyuubi was laying on a giant bed. Naruto curled up on his shoulder, going to sleep. Kyuubi chuckled and settled down. "Night Naruto." "Night Kyuubi. See you in the morning."
With that, both Demon and Human fell asleep.

Kakashi was furious. He was mad at the hospital staff for not wanting to heal Naruto right away, for him being late coming home from a mission, for not being there for Naruto, and lastly, mad at the people who did this to a child. He was right now pacing the door way of Naruto's hospital room. The only nice doctor was in shock of what happened to the boy. Sure she didn't feel any love to the boy but seeing an ANBU rushing in with what appeared to be a bloody mess, she had to help.

After spending a good 18 and half hours in the operating room, Naruto was finally stable. She was in shock of whoever did this to a child. Nearly all the bones in his body were damaged in any way, he had several ruptured organs and was almost dead when Dog brought him in. She, herself, wanted to castrate all the men involved with a rusty spoon and feed them it.
She placed a hand on Kakashi's shoulder. "Why don't you get some rest." "Can't or how about I sleep in his room?" "That would be fine. Let me get a cot for you." "Arigatio Doctor-san." "It's my pleasure. I had no idea that they would do this to a child. I don't care on who or what he his. He's still just a child." "To them, he is the Demon itself." The doctor scoffed, "Well, that's just stupid within itself."

Kakashi couldn't agree more. "Why don't you go inside while I go get that cot?" "Again, Arigatio Doctor-san." She left with a nod. Kakashi took a deep breath and opened the door. Laying on the only bed in the room was Naruto. He was so bandaged that he looked like a mummy. Different kinds of machines were hooked up to the sleeping boy and made different noises.
Just seeing the innocent child in this state made Kakashi see red. He then saw the boy rustle into a more comfortable position before sighing. Kakashi gave a sad smile as he remembered meeting Naruto for the first time.

Flashback:

Kakashi came awake with a start. Rubbing his face in his hands, he glanced at the clock. The red numbers glared 3:24 am. He gave a frustrated sigh and pondered what woke him up. It was then he heard a rustle coming outside of his window. Grabbing the kunai that was under his pillow, he inched along to the window.

He peered out to see a shape rummaging through his garbage. He silently opened the window and tried to sneak up on the creature when it froze. Its head whipped around and Kakashi stared. It was a boy. He continued to stare as the child ran to the opposite end of the alley. He stopped for it was a dead end.

The boy turned back to Kakashi, fear pouring from his eyes. Kakashi put away his kunai and went closer to the scared child. He slowly raised his hand, to show he meant no harm. What the boy did shocked him. He curled up into what appeared to be the best position to protect his vital organs. "Hey, what's your name?" The boy froze and looked up to the now crouching silver haired man. The child gulped loudly, "N-naruto but everyone, except Jiji-san, calls me Demon, Monster or It."

Kakashi just stared. "Why would they call you that?" "No idea and if you let me go without hitting me, I promise not to rifle through your trash anymore." Kakashi was silent as he thought. "Where are your parents?" "Again, no idea. I have," he scrunched his face into a scowl, "was living in the orphanage." "Was?" "They just threw me out a few weeks ago." Kakashi thought that his jaw hit the floor.

"Where have you been living these weeks then?" "In a warm box next to a warm bar-thing." Kakashi took a deep breath to calm himself. He stood and held a hand out to Naruto. "Come on, let's get you something to eat." Naruto, stared at the hand for a good 5 minutes before, taking it.

End Flashback

Soon, Doctor-san came in with a cot, a blanket and a pillow. She set it up near Naruto's bed. Kakashi gave her a nod in show of thanks. She gave him a small smile before leaving. Kakashi sighed and layed down on the cot. He looked over to the sleeping figure of Naruto. Good night Naruto, he thought before he fell asleep.

It was several hours later when Kakashi woke up to see Naruto regaining consciousness. Kakashi shot out of the cot and went to the door. He opened it and called for Doctor-san. She rushed in when Naruto finally woke up.
He yawned and rubbed his eye and saw that he was in the hospital, with a nice lady looking over him. Standing at the foot of the bed was Dog. Naruto smiled and said, "Dog-san!" "Naruto, good to see you awake." "How long have I been asleep?" "A good 14 hours." "Huh." The boy replied. The doctor gave him a look. She shook her head and continued to evaluate Naruto. Nearly all of his injuries where fully healed. I heard a good night sleep does wonders but this is ridiculous thought the doctor. The only other injuries where his malnutrition and his broken arm.

"Well, aside from being undernourished and having a broken arm, Naruto's perfect." Kakashi's was in shock. What happened to Naruto would have put a normal person in the hospital for a month or two, that is if they lived through the trip to the hospital. Since Kakashi was an ANBU captain, he'd seen weird shit, but this was bordering on "what the fuck?"

"Well, anyway, what time is it?" "Around 9:30 am. Why?" "Does Jiji-san know about me?" "I told him shortly after I brought you here." "Oh, okay. Uh, Doctor-san, can I leave now?" "Sorry but not until you are back to full health." Naruto pouted and Doctor-san laughed. After meeting the Kyuubi container, how could anyone think that this sweet boy was the demon?
It was then the door opened and in walked Sarutobi Hiruzen. "Hokage-sama." Both Doctor-san and Kakashi bowed to the older man. Naruto's greeting to the man was "Jiji-san!" Hiruzen smiled at the child, "Naruto, you look good. Thank you Doctor-san." "I-it was no problem Hokage-sama." Replied Doctor-san. Hiruzen spoke again, "Do you mind leaving us Doctor-san? I wish to speak privately to both Naruto and Dog." "H-hai."

She hurried out of the room, leaving Naruto alone with his "Jiji-san" and Dog-san. Hiruzen sighed and turned to his surrogate grandson. When Pakkun came in late last night saying that Naruto was in the hospital and was in extreme critical condition, he wanted to rush out of his office to hospital. But he couldn't, he was the Hokage. He had to wait until Naruto regained consciousness, which was right now.

Naruto couldn't wait to tell Dog-san and Jiji-san about his new friend. Sure he was the Kyuubi no Youkai but that didn't matter. "Ne ne Jiji-san, Dog-san guess what!" "What Naruto-kun?" Hiruzen asked him with a smile. "I have a new friend!" Both Dog and Hiruzen blinked in surprise. "Really Naruto, you have a new friend?" asked Dog. "Heh heh, you already know him." A pause before Hiruzen spoke, "Sorry Naruto, nobody is coming to mind." "Hey, kit. Ask your Jiji-san to seal off the room." Why? "Because we don't want word getting out just yet." Aww, you're no fun. "Kit" The Kyuubi said in a warning tone. [A/N: you know when your parents have that warning tone about something. That tone.] Alright. "Hey, Jiji-san." "Yes Naruto-kun?" "Is there some kind of jutsu that makes it so people can't listen in on our conversation?"

Hiruzen and Dog again blinked. "There is. Why?" "Because I want to let you two meet my new friend. But he won't come out until the room is sealed."
Hiruzen, deciding to humor Naruto, performed the jutsu. Naruto cocked his head to the left and smiled. In a swirl of green fire, a man appeared. He was 6'10, and was wearing a black trench coat that was buckled to the waist; black leather finger-less gloves; black leather pants; mid-thigh black and silver boots; and black Opaque glasses. His crazy red hair was in a pony-tail that reached mid back. His finger nails were claws; fang tips poked out of the edges of his mouth; and he had whisker face markings similar to Naruto's, only more feral.

He stood next to the bed and raised his hand. "Yo." Hiruzen and Kakashi stared at the new man. Naruto smiled, "Ne ne, Akane-san." "Yeah, Kit?" "Meet Jiji-san and Dog-san." "Nice to meet you both. The name's Akane." Both the older man and the masked man stared at new man. "Uh, nice to meet you. I'm Sarutobi Hiruzen-" "The Sandaime Hokage. The Professor of the Ninja World. Even you are well known in the Demon Realm." Hiruzen thought that his jaw hit the floor.

"The Demon Realm?" "Hai. Let my kit properly introduce me." Naruto gave a fox like grin. "This is Akane Kitsunehana, the Old Summoning Boss of the Demon Kitsune Clan. Otherwise known on this plane is Kyuubi no Youkai." Now Kakashi and Hiruzen were sure that their jaws were on the floor. Both Naruto and Akane-Kyuubi, the two adults weren't sure, were laughing. "Oh, sweet Kami I haven't laughed that hard since I was a child." "But, Kyuubi, how are you-?" asked Kakashi. "Good call whelp. It's called Kitsune Magick. I taught a simple spell to Kit here and the spell lets me have a fake body. Genius really." "If you're out here then how is Naruto still alive?" "Hmm, I could go into a long complicated speech but I'll short term it. While my soul is in this 'body' it's technically an extension of Kit's body via Spirit energy." "So, meaning, you can walk around and Naruto won't die?" "Ding ding ding! I think we have a winner." Naruto laughed while Hiruzen and Kakashi sweat dropped. "Hey the kit thinks I'm funny."

"Any way, I have a proposition to make Hokage-sama." "Oh, and what would that be?" "Is it okay if I take Naruto here as my Kit?" Naruto and Hiruzen looked like deer in headlights. "A-are you saying you want to adopt me Akane-san?" "Well, yeah. He needs a father and I think he would like to have me as his Tou-san." Naruto then began to cry, not from sadness but from happiness. Someone wanted him to be part of a family. Hiruzen, Kakashi, and Akane saw this and they nodded to each other. "Akane Kitsunehana, I, Sarutobi Hiruzen give you permission, as the Sandaime Hokage, to adopt Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto stopped crying and looked up to his Jiji-san.

"Y-you hiccup mean it?" "Once I get the da- paper work dealt with, you shall be Akane-san's 'son'." Akane laughed, "Paper work is a bitch ain't it?" "How do you know?" "Well, even us Demons have paper work. One of the perks of being sealed within my 'son' is that I never have to see or deal with anymore paperwork again." "Aside from Ninja Academy forms and the adoption papers." "Yeppers. Wait, Ninja Academy?" "Yes, I decided on letting Naruto go to the Ninja Academy. What do you say about that Naruto?"

All the adults looked over to Naruto, who said "When does it start?"
