One Year Later

Naruto was now 8 years old. During the year, Naruto trained very hard and became very good in his ninja skills and jutsu. He was at least between chunin and jonin level ninja. His chakra control has greatly increased. His chakra reserves were now more than 5 jonin ninja combined. His stealth was good enough to even slip from jonin ninja. His medical jutsu was now at the level of Tsunade. His ninja tools' level was above chunin. He has great control over his chakra flow and his jutsu. Especially the advance element jutsu.

Naruto has become very good at his Rinnegan abilities. He can now easily control Shinra Tensei and Banshō Ten'in and can pull in or push away objects that were the size of a small house. He can now summon 3 different creatures, a Chameleon, a Bull and a Bird. Naruto can now easily turn his skin into metal for defense and create ninja tools from the black rods that he can generate from his own body.

The speed at which Naruto can absorb enemy's chakra and increased significantly. Now, it takes him only 5 seconds to absorb Fire Style Great Fire Ball. Even his Human Path Soul Absorption was at a good level of mastery as he practiced this skill on several animals. Even after all of that, Ash still forbid him from using the Naraka Path and Outer Path, since he was not ready yet.

Naruto's strength, endurance, agility, durability, and speed were at a jonin level ninja. He achieved this from the gravity seals that Ash made for him. At current level, he is wearing a gravity seal that increase his body weight by 10 times. He can now easily break through trees and rocks. He became strong enough that he was able to crack the steel cubes.

Naruto couldn't meet his friends because of his eyes. So Ash gave him blue lens that cover his Rinnegan. This way, no one could tell the difference of his eyes.

Also, during this year, a tragedy happened. The Uchiha Clan was massacred by a single individual. This individual was Itachi Uchiha. He killed everyone. Except for his little brother Sasuke Uchiha.

Why Itachi Uchiha kill off his own clan? Because the Uchiha Clan were preparing to overthrow the hokage. Minato and the civilian council Homura Mitokado, Koharu Utatane and Danzō Shimura. Itachi Uchiha and Shisui Uchiha were under cover agents that reported to the hokage about the Uchiha coup d'état.

Why did the Uchiha want to overthrow the hokage? Because it was an Uchiha that released the Kyuubi from Kushina. This made the ninja wary about the Uchiha which angered them as they were being treated unfairly. Danzō persuades the Konoha Council to side with his decision to have the Uchiha put under surveillance as they became the main suspects in the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack due to the ocular ability of the Sharingan. Danzō insists that the Anbu put the Uchiha under 24-7 surveillance.

The Uchiha members of the Konoha Military Police become more and more belligerent in their duties despite Fugaku's efforts and the complaints form the citizens soon reach the ears of the higher-ups who seem determined to increase pressure on the clan.

Minato wanted to find a way to make peace with them but every negotiation failed. That is until Shisui came forward with a plan to stop the coup d'état. His plan was to use his Sharingan's ability, the Kotoamatsukami on Fugaku in order to stop the clan's coup d'état. Minato accepted this option and told Shisui to proceed with his plan.

Danzō on the other didn't want Shisui to accomplish his plan and intends to stop him. Later on, when Shisui was on his way towards the Uchiha Clan, Danzo appeared with his ROOT ANBU and fought him. He was unable to kill Shisui but he did managed to rip out one of his Sharingan.

Shisui managed to escape with his other eye and meets with Itachi. He told him of what happened and that it was too late to stop the Uchiha. Shisui then forced Itachi to defend himself and fought him. He forced Itachi to kill him in order to awaken his Mangekyō Sharingan which was a success. Before dying, he entrusted Itachi with his remaining eye as well as the task of protecting the village and the name of the Uchiha.

Itachi was then forced to go with plan B. To kill the Uchiha. However, before he went with this option, he pleaded with the hokage to spare his little brother as he was not part of the coup d'état. Minato accepted his request. With that, Itachi went towards the Uchiha Clan and began to slaughter them.

However, Ash followed him silently while keeping himself invisible. As he was following Itachi, he stole Shisui's eye from him and took a DNA sample from it. He then fused the DNA with his own Sharingan and gave it the Kotoamatsukami.

Kotoamatsukami
The user is able to plant a very powerful, yet subtle mind-controlling illusion on the target. This makes them believe that they are doing things on their own free will due to false experiences planted in their mind.

After getting Shisui's ability, Ash returned the eye back to Itachi without him even knowing it. He was disgusted by what the civilian counsel, especially that bastard Danzo, came up with. He discovered what Danzo was planing and that's why he wanted the Uchiha dead in order to harvest their Sharingan for his own desire. Ash didn't care about the arrogant Uchiha but there is one Uchiha that was the opposite of them and was close to Naruto.

It was Mikoto Uchiha. She was the one who cared about Naruto's well being while everyone despised him. She was not arrogant like the Uchiha but a kind and caring women. If she died then Naruto would again feel pain in his heart. So, for the sake of his little brother, Ash would save her.

Ash was there when he saw Itachi killing his father. However, when it came to his mother, Ash saw that there was immense pain in his eyes. Itachi loved his mother and wanted to spare her but he feared that the village will use her as a breeding tool to produce more Uchiha. So he decided to spare her from that by killing her.

When Itachi swung his sword at his mother who closed her eyes and waited for her death, Ash used "Time Walk" to slow down time as he began to proceed with his plan. When Ash came here, he grabbed a dead Uchiha and brought it with him. As time slowed down to that of a snail's pace, Ash cocooned the dead Uchiha with his virus and began to transform it at the cellular level.

When the cocooned opened within a few seconds, the dead Uchiha became an exact replica of Mikoto Uchiha. Ash used "Body Replacement" to switch the real Mikoto with the fake Mikoto. It was so fast that Itachi didn't notice it and cut off her head. Ash knocked out Mikoto and used "Kamui" to send her into the Kamui dimension.

When Ash was about to leave, Sasuke came and saw his parents' bodies on the floor. The boy looked at his dead parents in shock and fear. He then saw who killed them and was even more shocked to find his big brother standing over their corpses.

Sasuke asked, "Itachi! What happened here!? Who killed mother and father?"

Itachi decided to tell him a lie rather than the truth. He said, "I killed them Sasuke. I killed them all."

Sasuke's eyes widen in shock and asked, "Why? Why did you kill them!? Why kill everyone!?"

Itachi said, "I wanted to test my powers on them."

Sasuke fell back down in disbelief at what he heard. He said, "Just for that? You killed everyone just for testing your powers!?"

Itachi said nothing and closed his eyes. When he opened them, he showed Sasuke his new eyes. The Mangekyō Sharingan.

Itachi looked into Sasuke eyes and said, "Tsukuyomi"

Itachi then fled the area after putting Sasuke through an illusion where he was tortured by seeing his clan being killed by him over and over again. Ash ran towards Sasuke and grabbed him. He forcefully opened Sasuke's eyes and used his own Sharingan to break the illusion. Sasuke's mind was now safe from the illusion. Ash then put him to sleep and used "Kamui" to return back to the Forest of Death.

After he left, Danzo and a group of his ROOT ANBU came and began to harvest the dead Uchiha's eyes before the others came. Before Danzo ordered his ROOT to harvest the Sharingan, Itachi came before him and warned him that if anything happened to his little brother, then he would spread his dark secrets to the other villages. After saying that, Itachi's body turned into several ravens and flew away. Danzo cursed about letting Itachi escape. He then ordered his ROOT to harvest the Sharingan from the dead Uchihas.

Ash then took Mikoto Uchiha back towards the Forest of Death and put her in one of the house's bed. Naruto and Yoko saw who he brought back. Naruto was shocked and hurt when he heard what happened to the Uchiha Clan. He felt great sorrow for Itachi and Shisui because they were the ones who didn't hate Naruto like the others. However, Naruto's hate only grew when he heard what the council did. Especially Danzo. And all of this right under the current hokage. His bastard of a father, Minato Namikaze.

Naruto seethed at how stupid Minato was to let this all happen right under his nose. He does not deserve to be a Hokage. Naruto swore that he will become not only the strongest shinobi but also the greatest Hokage that would not let cancer such as the civilian council to have their way in this village. In fact, he promised that he will cut those cancers out from this village and return it back to its former glory.

Ash was proud of Naruto's promise and determination. He promised him that he will help him in achieving his dream and a better village.

After a few days, Mikoto woke up and was scared when he saw unfamiliar surrounding. Fortunately Naruto came to her and explained what happened in the last few days. Naruto discovered that Mikoto didn't even know about the Uchiha coup d'état. When Mikoto heard this, she was horrified that Itachi was forced to kill off his entire clan. However, she did calm down a bit when Naruto told her that her youngest son, Sasuke was alive and spared from the slaughter. She wanted nothing more than to return to her son but Naruto stopped her and said that she could not leave this forest at the moment.

When Mikoto asked why, that is when Ash revealed himself to her. She was very scared to see a 9 foot hulking being but Naruto calmed her by telling her that he was his big brother. He explained to her what happened to him and how Ash became his new big brother. Mikoto was very angry and disgusted at Naruto's former family but was very thankful to Ash for helping Naruto all of this time.

Mikoto asked, "So Ash. Where did you come from?"

Naruto said, "Mikoto-chan. Meet my big brother Ash. You are looking at a real life alien."

Mikoto looked at Naruto for a while and asked, "Really? An alien? Couldn't you have come up with something much more believable?"

Naruto said, "But it's true! Bro really is an alien. He came from another world and he can do magic!"

Mikoto asked, "Magic? Really?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes."

Mikoto said, "You know that magic is for little girls right?"

Naruto said, "No they are not! Ash can do very cool stuff with his magic."

Mikoto shook her head and said, "I don't believe you."

Naruto became frustrated and said, "Fine! If you won't believe me, then believe what you see. Bro. Can you do some magic to make her believe that you're an alien?"

Ash smiled and snapped his fingers. He did the exact thing what he did to Naruto. Living furniture, singing flowers, dancing frogs etc. Mikoto's mind was blown away at what she saw. She thought that she was stuck in a Genjutsu and immediately brought up her index finger and middle finger and shouted "Kai" (Release)

However, Mikoto's action failed as she realized that what she was seeing was no Genjutsu. It was all real. She then believed every word Naruto said to her.

Naruto asked, "Bro. Why did you reveal yourself to her?"

Mikoto asked, "What do you mean by that Naruto?"

Naruto said, "Bro told me that he keeps himself from revealing to others because if he did then they would try to control him or force him into working for this village. If that happens then bro said that he would destroy this village cause he does not like to be controlled."

Mikoto asked, "Really? I don't see him being that strong enough to destroy this village by himself."

Naruto said, "Believe me when I say that he alone can rule the whole ninja world since he is that strong."

Mikoto's eyes widen at that and she believe him. Naruto asked, "So bro. Why did you reveal yourself to her?"

Ash said, "Because since Mikoto will be living here for the time being, she needs to know about me and Yoko."

Mikoto asked, "Whose Yoko?"

Ash said, "She needs to know the truth little bro. Would you tell her?"

Naruto nodded and told Mikoto the truth about Yoko. Mikoto was shocked to hear that Yoko was actually the Kyuubi in human form. She was also shocked to hear how Yoko was ripped out of Kushina and was controlled by a mask Uchiha before being sealed into Naruto by Minato. But there was still one thing that she needs to ask.

Mikoto asked, "Ash. What do you mean that I would be living here for the time being?"

Ash said, "Exactly what I said Mikoto. You will be living here from now on with Naruto and Yoko."

Mikoto said, "But what about my son Sasuke? I need to be there for him. He is all alone and needs to know that I am still alive."

Ash said, "You can't Mikoto. As far as this village knows, you are dead. If you do leave this place and meet with your son, then someone will see you. When they know that you are alive, they will turn you in for breeding more Uchiha."

Mikoto was appalled to hear that and said, "No they wouldn't! They can do that to me! After my husband's death, I am the clan head!"

Ash said, "The council doesn't care and would use you however they like. Especially that bastard Danzo. He is the one who wanted all of the Uchiha dead just so he could harvest their eyes."

Mikoto did hate the council but this just crossed the line. She said, "But the hokage-"

Naruto said, "This all happened right under the bastard's Minato's nose! He let this happen! He let the council do what they want and see what would happen! The Hokage is of no help to you Mikoto-chan. Forget about him."

Mikoto was surprised to see Naruto taking about his dad. She said, "But Naruto. My son-"

Ash cut her off and said, "Will be fine Mikoto. Now that there is only one Uchiha in this village, he will be treated like royalty since he will get his sharingan."

Mikoto calmed down after she heard that. She then asked him why he helped Naruto. Ash told her how he despised the way Naruto was treated just for possessing the soul of the Kyuubi and about how his parents favored his siblings. He told her that he is training Naruto to become stronger than his siblings. Stronger than his father. Stronger than anyone in this village and eventually the strongest ninja in this world. He told her that he would make Naruto this woulds guardian.

Ash also told Mikoto about Naruto's gift, the Rinnegan. This almost made her pass out from the shock and awe of seeing the legendary eyes of the Sage of the Six Path. She thought that he must be joking but she passed out when Naruto showed her his Rinnegan.

After Mikoto woke up, she met with Yoko. She was a bit afraid of her because the Kyuubi was in front of her in human form but after talking for a while, they became great friends.

After that, she saw how Ash helped Naruto train and how good he was. He saw that Naruto was at least chunin level ninja. To be a ninja at that level at a young age was amazing to see. Soon she too joined him in training as in the future, she would need it to protect herself and fighting her enemies.

When the year ended, Naruto became the age of 8 year old. He was now eligible for the ninja academy but there was one problem with that. His former dad, Minato would never allow him to enter the academy and that his looks, since his former family could easily recognize him.

However, Ash has a solution for that. He put his hands on Naruto's head and used his virus to change the boy's hair color. After a while, he removed his hand and created a mirror for Naruto to see his hair.

Naruto's eyes widen in joy and excitement when he saw that his hair was now slicked back red hair. His face changed a bit and the three marks on his face disappeared under a powerful Genjutsu.

Ash said, "How do you like your new temporary look little bro?"

Naruto said, "I love it bro! I specially like the hair."

Ash said, "You don't have to worry about your friends. Only they will be able to recognize you while others will not."

Naruto said, "Cool. What about my name? They will still recognize me with my name."

Ash thought about it and said, "Why don't you call yourself Naruto Vajura. Vajura means a powerful mythical weapon. Especially one wielded by the god Indra."

Naruto had stars in his eyes and exclaimed, "That's so cooool! Where did you get a cool name like that?"

Ash said, "As you know that my current name is just Ash. I hope to add Vajura to my name in the future once I have achieved great power. Only then would I be worthy to have that name. And as for your admission?"

Ash put his hand into his coat and pulled out a letter. He gave the letter to Naruto and said, "I already got it for you little bro."

Naruto opened the letter and read it. He couldn't believe that the letter was signed by his former dad Minato, for him to enter the Ninja Academy.

Naruto asked, "But? How? How can that bastard Minato sign this and allow me to enter the academy bro?"

Ash smiled and told them how he got it.

A Few Hours Ago

When Ash was walking towards the Hokage's office while being invisible, he found an ANBU that was about to enter the office. He read the ANBU's mind and found that he was there to report his mission. This is a chance that he used for his plan. He mind controlled the ANBU and created a paper. Ash gave the paper to him and mentally ordered him to enter the office and give his report.

The ANBU obeyed and entered the office. Minato was sitting in the office and stamping a pile of papers.

Minato noticed the ANBU and said, "Welcome. What have you come here for?"

The ANBU saluted and said, "I am here to give you a report of the mission Hokage."

The ANBU gave his report to Minato who read it and said, "That's great. You are dismissed."

However, the ANBU didn't leave which Minato noticed. He asked, "Is there something else?"

The ANBU nodded and pulled out the paper that Ash gave him. He said, "If you don't mind Hokage, can you sign this paper?"

Minato looked at the paper and saw that it was blank. He asked, "Why do you want me to sign it?"

The ANBU said, "Some of the children asked me to see if I can get your signature Hokage."

Minato immediately smiled and said, "Oh. Is that it? Sure, I'll sign it."

Minato took the blank paper and signed it. He then gave it back to the ANBU and said, "There you go."

The ANBU took the signed paper and said, "Thank you Hokage. The children will be pleased about this."

Minato just waved his hand and said, "It's okay if there are things like this. If that is all, you are free to go."

The ANBU bowed and left the office. Upon exiting, the ANBU gave the signed paper to Ash. He took it and left while releasing the ANBU from his mind control. The ANBU didn't remember what happened. All he remembers is that he gave his report to the Hokage about his mission and left. Nothing else.

Ash left for the Forest of Death for privacy. He pulled out the signed paper and grinned. He first snapped his fingers and the paper turned into a letter of admittance to the Ninja Academy. However, the Hokage's signature was in the middle of the paper and not in the required location. So he snapped his fingers again and the Hokage's signature moved across the letter and into its required location. After that, the letter was complete.

Current Time

After telling them about how he go the letter, they were very shocked about how magic can be used that way.

Naruto smiled and said, "That's so cool bro. I can think of many ways of using magic in my pranks."

Ash smiled and said, "Then here is another gift for you little bro."

Ash put his hand on Naruto's chest and blue aura was released from his hand. The aura then seeped into Naruto's chest and into his heart. With a little bit of help from his virus, Naruto's heart was modified a bit.

After while, the aura subsided and Ash pulled his hand away. Naruto asked, "What did you do bro?"

Ash said with a smile, "As today is your birthday, I have just given you another gift. You now have the ability to use Equestrian magic."

Naruto's eyes widen and shouted in disbelief, "What!? I have magic!? I can now use magic!? And whats Equestrian?"

Ash smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes you can. Equestrian is the world I came from. I have given you my world's magic. But remember, magic is a weaker version of chakra but it can do things that most chakra couldn't do. Like for example."

Ash snapped his fingers and created several food dishes out of nothing. With another snap, five different orbs were created that floated in front of him. The orbs were made up of fire, wind, water, earth and lighting.

Ash said, "This is just an example of what magic can do. All it requires is your imagination and you can do wonders with it."

Naruto's eyes were filled with stars and exclaimed "That is so awesome! You know what this means!? I can now eat ramen whenever I want to!"

Naruto imagined a bowl of ramen and snap his finger. Immediately a small bowl of ramen was created out of nothingness. Naruto's eyes widen and began to eat his ramen.

Naruto said, "It may be small but it's very delicious. Just like Ramen Ichiraku."

Ash said, "Just like your chakra, you will need to train your magic ability. Just like chakra, your magic is limited. I have modified your heart in order to produce magic just like chakra."

Naruto hugged Ash and said, "Thanks bro. This is an awesome gift."

Ash said, "No problem bro. Now that you have gotten admittance to the Ninja Academy, I need to teach you three things that you will need to know in order to graduate from the academy."

Naruto asked, "What's that bro?"

Ash said, "For the next four years, you will attend the academy and learn history, Taijutsu and stuff. But the final test will require you to perform three basic Jutsu. They are Transformation Jutsu, Body Replacement Jutsu and Bunshin (Clone) Jutsu."

Naruto said, "Hmmm. They don't sound that great."

Ash said, "They are not as they are just basic jutsu that everyone can perform. Now lets start with Transformation Jutsu. This is a priceless Ninjutsu. It is typically used to change into people other than oneself. However, an experienced ninja can use this Ninjutsu to change into animals, plants, and even inanimate objects like weapons. This gives this technique an abundance of uses. The transformation of a skilled shinobi will be exactly like the genuine article, so it will be impossible to tell the two apart. On the other hand, a transformation performed by an inexperienced person will have obvious discrepancies. It will be impossible to deceive anyone with it. This is one of the most basic Ninjutsu, as such most shinobi know how to perform it."

Naruto said, "Cool."

Ash continued, "The transformation technique is considered to be among the more difficult E-ranked techniques, since it requires constant emission of chakra while mentally maintaining the form. If the user would interact with the environment, then this puts mental strain on an inexperienced ninja. Thus, the best way to determine if it is indeed a transformation is to cause this strain upon the user."

Naruto said, "That's sounds awesome!"

Ash said, "It is. Now look at me as I transform into someone else."

Ash brought his hands together and said, "Transformation Jutsu."

*Poof*

Ash exploded into white smoke which covered his whole body. When the smoke subsided, Naruto saw that in place of Ash, was now standing Ibiki Morino.

Ibiki Morino (Ash) looked at Naruto and said in a different voice, "Naruto. What are you doing here? You should be at home with your family."

Naruto panicked and said, "But but Ibiki-san. I already told you that they don't want me to be a part of their family!"

Ibiki Morino (Ash) said, "Then I have no choice. I will have to take you to the Torture and Interrogation chamber as you may have some hidden secrets."

Naruto became a bit scared and said, "I don't have anything to say Ibiki! I live here away from anyone else! I will not go down without a fight!"

Naruto then took his Muay Thai stance and got ready to fight. However, Ibiki then began to laugh before *Poof* exploding into white smoke. When the smoke subsided, Ibiki was gone and Ash was standing there.

Naruto asked, "What just happened? And where is Ibiki-san?"

Ash chuckled and said, "Ibiki was never here little bro. I simply used the Transformation Jutsu to transform myself into Ibiki. With a perfect transformation, you can even change your voice to match that person."

Naruto soaked in the info and said, "Wait! So let me get this straight. Ibiki was never here to begin with. You transformed yourself into Ibiki and then you used him to scare me? Why?"

Ash said, "It's true that I used Ibiki as an example to scare you but you must understand that Ibiki would never do that to you. He and you are friends. I simply used him to see how you would respond to such a situation. And I have to say that you did great. You denied my existence and were ready to fight him which I am sure that you would have won if the real Ibiki was here. You did good little bro."

Naruto calmed down and blush a bit from being praised. he said, "It's no problem bro. I would protect you the same way you have protected me."

Ash smiled and said, "Thanks little bro. Now on to the next Ninjutsu. The next jutsu is called Body Replacement Jutsu. With this technique, users replace their own body with some other object, generally with a block of wood, the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was successful. From this, the user can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the battlefield. Explosive tags can be attached to the replacement for an added surprise. Despite it being a basic Ninjutsu taught at the Academy, it is seen as a useful art that can be applied in variety of situations as it allows for a swift getaway from danger. The technique even allows a restrained shinobi to escape capture."

Naruto said, "That sounds cool. How do I do it?"

Ash pointed towards a broken log and said, "See that log over there? I want you to throw some kunai at me and I will use Body Replacement Jutus to switch myself with that log."

Naruto nodded and generated black rods from his hands. Then the rods shape shift into kunai which he threw at Ash. When the kunai were about to hit him, *Puff* Ash's body was covered with smoke. When the smoke subsided, Naruto saw a log with kunai embedded into it in place of Ash.

Naruto looked a the logs original location and found Ash standing there. He just switched himself with the log in order to escape the incoming kunai.

Ash said, "So, did you understand how helpful this Ninjutsu is little bro?"

Naruto nodded and said, "I got it. It's a very useful Ninjutsu where I can use it to either switch myself with nearby objects or use it to switch others with nearby objects."

Ash nodded and said, "Good. Now for the last Ninjutsu which is the Bunshin Jutsu."

Naruto said, "But I already know the Shadow Clone Jutsu bro. Why do I have to learn an illusion clone?"

Ash said, "One, the Bunshin Jutsu is an E-rank Ninjutsu that is required in order to graduate from the academy. Two, you do not want to show them a higher level jutsu to the teachers. They might get suspicious of your level."

Mikoto asked, "Why would you want Naruto to hide his strength? Wouldn't it be better than to show how strong he is?"

Ash said, "If others see how Naruto is strong, then they would tell it to Minato who didn't want Naruto to enter the academy. If he finds out that Naruto is stronger and better than Menma and Narumi, then he would sabotage Naruto's test in order to make his siblings look good."

Mikoto said, "Okay. I understand that Minato is a jerk and would do that but when is Naruto allowed to show his true strength?"

Ash smiled and said, "That will be according to my plan. Naruto will enter the academy as an orphan and try to look like an average ninja. With an image of an average ninja, Naruto will fool everyone else, except his friends and will graduate from the academy in 4 years. After that, we will need to wait for the chunin exam to happen."

Naruto asked, "Why wait for the chunin exam bro? Can't I just show off my powers after graduating from the academy?"

Ash shook his head and said, "Even if you reveal your powers after graduating from the academy, you are still vulnerable as you don't have protection from the Hokage and that bastard Danzo. If he finds out your powers, he will do anything to have it."

Mikoto and Naruto's eyes narrowed when they heard about Danzo. That bastard that killed Shisui in order to kill the Uchiha clan just for their eyes.

Naruto nodded and said, "You're right bro. But what about the chunin exam that you were talking about?"

Ash said, "At the chunin exam, several important and powerful figures will come and see the fight. I am betting on those powerful figures to come and that is where you will show them your powers. When those powerful figures see your display of strength and skill, they will support you with my next plan. If that happens, then you will not only get immunity from the Hokage but you will also become untouchable in this village."

Naruto, Mikoto and Yoko's eyes widen at that. Yoko asked, "You mean that-"

Ash nodded and said, "If someone is stupid enough to attack Naruto like they did to him in the past, then Naruto has the right to slaughter them without any consequence. That is my plan for Naruto."

Ash looked at Naruto's shock face and asked, "So little bro. Do you like my plan?"

Naruto came out of his shock and nodded. He said, "I like the untouchable and killing part but do I have to look weak to others bro?"

Ash nodded and said, "I know its a pain in the ass little bro but you just have to do it for 4 more years an then, you will practically rule this village."

Naruto thought about it and nodded. He said, "Okay bro. I'll go with your plan. It sounds to have more benefits than anything I could have come up with."

Ash nodded and said,"Good. Now today's your first day of the ninja academy. Go and check it out yourself. Keep your true self hidden from others, except from your friends. Also, when you meet Saskue, try to become his friend. He saw his clan slaughtered by the hands of his own brother. Because of that, he will act cold against others. Try to be his friend and help him out."

Naruto nodded and said, "Of course bro. Well, I'm off. Bye everyone."

Ash stops him and said, "Oh! I just forget to mention this but with the Rinnegan, you are now immune to all kinds of Genjutsu."

Naruto said, "Really? I'm immune to Genjutsu? That's so cool! Thanks for the tip bro."

With that Naruto went towards the Ninja Academy. As he was going, he snapped his fingers and created a face mask. He wore it just like Kakashi hid half of his face. This made Naruto look cool.

First Year Ninja Academy

Naruto was now 9 year old. He entered the academy and met with Iruka who was able to recognized him and asked, "Why do you look different Naruto?"

Naruto said, "Iruka. You know about my former family. That is why I look different so they don't recognize me. And also, I am an orphan and my name is Naruto Vajura. Please remember that when you call my name."

Iruka nodded and understood what he meant by his family. He then took Naruto to the classroom where the rest of the children were. Naruto was happy to see that all of his friends were there, including his siblings, Neji and Saskue. The class was chattering with each other loudly.

Iruka tried to calm them down and said, "Okay class. Settle down."

However, the class didn't hear him and continued to chatter with each other. Iruka became angry and used "Big Head Jutsu" and shouted, "SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BRATS!"

That did it and everyone became quiet. Iruka cleared his throat and said, "Okay class. Today, we have a new student joining us. So welcome him."

Iruka looked at Naruto and said, "Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?"

Naruto nodded and stepped forward. He cleared his throat and said, "Hello everyone. My name is Naruto Vajura. My parents are dead and I am an orphan. I hope you don't push me away from something like that."

The class did brush Naruto off like he was hoping for. In fact, most of the class welcomed him. All except for a few ones.

Iruka said, "Why don't you take that empty seat in the back Naruto."

Naruto nodded and walked to towards the empty seat and sat on it. To his right, sat Hinata and to his left sat Ino.

Naruto said, "Hello. I'm Naruto Vajura. It's nice to meet you two."

Both of the girl blushed as he look quite handsome. Hinata said, "H-hello t-to you too N-naruto."

Ino asked, "Wait. Are you Naruto?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes I am."

Hinata asked, "Um w-why do y-you different i-if you don't mind?"

Choji asked, "Yeah. You look different than before.

Lee said, "Naruto is suppose to have blonde hair. You have red hair."

Kiba said, "He smells like Naruto. Isn't that right Akamaru?"

Akamaru was sitting on Kiba's head and barked a few times to confirm it.

Shikamaru sighed and said, "Troublesome. Naruto. Tell us why you look different."

Shino said, "Yes. An explanation of your change can give us an idea of your choice."

Naruto looked at his friends and said, "Okay. I'll tell you but you all have to promise me that you won't tell anyone about it, Okay?"

His friends promised to not to reveal anything that he was about to say. Naruto explained to them about his former family and that he is forced to change his appearance so no one else other than his friends would recognize him.

His friends understood what he was saying and promised to support his action and such. They knew how Naruto's family treated him and how his rights were taken away. They too stayed away from Menma and Narumi who have became very arrogant in the past.

As for Naruto's siblings, they sat together with Neji and Saskue who all acted like they were better than the rest. Since Saskue became the only Uchiha in the village, the civilians council treated him like a king and gave him everything that he asked for. This only fueled his ego and arrogance.

Naruto spent his time in the academy learning about history and stuff. For the next year, Naruto spent it like this and trained back in his new home. He tried to become friends with Saskue but he refused his friendship and said, "Why do I need a clanless orphan and a loser as a friend? You are not worthy of the Uchiha. Get lost trash."

Well, that went well. Mikoto was really sad when she heard how Saskue has become like this. She wanted to help him but she couldn't risk revealing herself to the village, so she stayed in the forest and pray that Saskue could be redeemed.

During The First Year

During the year, an interesting event occurred which greatly benefited Naruto who was 8 years old. An event involving the Fire Daimyō. During the year, Ash sent his clones to spy on the five Daimyō of the ninja world. He wanted to see if there was any way to have them in Naruto's debt. And one did.

It was the Fire Daimyō of the fire country. Ash discovered that the Fire Daimyō was a sack of shit bastard. He was a greedy bastard and and saw others as nothing but objects. He even forced himself on a lady and impregnated her with his son. When his child was born, he simply brought them into his palace in order to protect his image. However, not once he saw his offspring as his son and the lady as his wife. They were merely there to keep his image up. On the outside, the Fire Daimyō looked like a very respectable person but behind the curtain, he was a bastard. He even treated his suppose son and lady like slaves.

Ash saw how the boy and his mother were suffering. He wanted to kill that bastard but he got an idea and brought Naruto with him while leaving behind a clone in order to avoid suspicion of his absence. He told Naruto of what the Fire Daimyō true colors was and what he did with his suppose son and wife.

Naruto became very pissed off and wanted nothing more than to kill the Fire Daimyō but Ash stopped him and told him his plan. Naruto liked his plan and proceeded with it.

One night, Naruto snuck into the Fire Daimyō's palace while he was out and met with the boy and his mother.

The boy saw Naruto and asked, "Who are you?"

Naruto introduced himself, "Hello. I'm Naruto Vajura. I'm a ninja from the Village Hidden In The Leaf."

The boy asked, "A ninja? What's a ninja from the leaf village doing here?"

Naruto said, "I am here to help you ... deal with the Fire Daimyō."

The boy asked, "Deal with him? What do you mean by that?"

Naruto said, "Do you have to ask? You know the true colors of the Fire Daimyō and how he is a bastard and such. How he looks at others like mere objects and lets not forget about you and your mother who he treats like slaves."

The boy lowered his head and he know what Naruto said was true. His father, the Fire Daimyō doesn't see him and his mother as his family. They are nothing more than slaves to him.

The boy asked, "How are you going to deal with him?"

Naruto said, "I have my way. I can permanently deal with him without leaving any evidence behind."

The boy asked, "What do you get out of this?"

Naruto said, "I want your friendship and support."

The boy asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Naruto said, "I plan to assassinate the Fire Daimyō for he is a tyrant hiding behind the mask of a kind person. I want to kill him and make you take his place as the next Daimyo. You will make a better ruler than he ever was. In return, you will become my friend and I will be needing your support in the future. That's all I ask from you."

The boy thought about it and nodded. He said, "I accept but I need a favor from you."

Naruto asked, "What is it?"

The boy said, "My mother has been ill lately. My fat- the Fire Daimyō has ignored my mother and has done nothing to cure her. I ask of you - No. I beg you to please save my mother. She is all the family I have left. Please save her Naruto."

The boy began to cry in the end. Naruto's heart ache when he heard this from the boy. Naruto can feel how much the boy loved and cared for his mother.

Naruto smiled and said, "I'll do it. I'll save your mother. So don't cry anymore."

The boy sniffed and said, "Thank you Naruto. Thank you. I don't know what I would have done if I lost my mother."

The boy then took Naruto below the palace and towards a room with a rotted wooden door. During the walk, the boy said, "My name is Kido Kotaro and thank you for accepting my favor."

Naruto waved his hand and said, "No problem Kido. I have been taught that if you possess skills then use them to help others. And I will follow this for the rest of my life."

Kido nodded and opened the door. Inside the room, there was no bed, no furniture or even a pleasant room. It was a small room with brick walls and floor. There was a pile of hay in the corner on which a women laid with a torn bed sheet covering her. Naruto walked toward her and saw that she looked really ill.

Naruto began to scan her for any illness or bacteria. After a while of scanning, he found it.

Kido asked, "Can you help my mother Naruto?"

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes. I can save her Kido. Your mother caught a virus that is killing her from the inside."

Kido gasped in shock and fear. He asked in hope, "Can c-can you save her Naruto? P-please tell m-me that my m-mother can be s-saved."

Naruto smiled softly and said, "There is no need worry Kido. This is a weak virus that I can easily be purge from her body."

Kido shed tears of happiness when he heard that his mother could be saved. Naruto formed some hand signs and a green aura surrounded his hands. He then put his hands on the women's head and abdomen. The green aura then seeped into the women's body and began to attack the virus. After half an hour of continuously healing the women, he was successful. The virus was purged and the women was fully healed.

Kido walked towards his mother and sighed in relief when he saw how she looked very healthy. Kido looked at Naruto and said, "Thank you Naruto for saving my mother. If there is anything you want from me, just ask and I will do whatever I can."

Naruto smiled and said, "I just want your friendship and support in the future Kido and nothing else. Now, if you excuse me, I have a certain Fire Daimyo to deal with."

With that, Naruto left the lower floor and left the palace since the Fire Daimyo was out. He waited for his return for a few hours. After that, Naruto saw the Fire Daimyo returning back to his palace. He also saw that there were some bodyguards with him but Naruto didn't mind as he can easily sneak past them. Naruto waited for night to come before he proceed in dealing with the Fire Daimyo.

When night came, the Fire Daimyo went to his room to sleep. Naruto stealthy entered the room from a window and silently walked towards the sleeping Fire Daimyo. When he reached his target, Naruto pulled out a small syringe that contained a red liquid. Naruto got this from Ash who explained to him that it is a special poison that cannot be detected in the victim's body.

Naruto slowly brought the syringe near the Fire Daimyo's mouth and drop a few drops of the poison into his mouth. After the poison drops fell into the Fire Daimyo's mouth, it was done. Naruto pulled out a letter and put it in one of the table's draws before quietly leaving the room and returned back to the lower floor to meet up with Kido.

The Fire Daimyo didn't even know what happened as the poison traveled towards his heart and slowly stopped the beating of his heart. He didn't feel any pain as the poison also puts the victim to sleep. As his heart slowly stopped beating, the Fire Daimyo died peacefully in his sleep.

Naruto met with Kido who was with his mother. He noticed Naruto and asked, "Is it done?"

Naruto smiled and said, "It's done. The Fire Daimyo is dead and you will take his place as the next Fire Daimyo."

Kido said, "I don't think that will happen Naruto. I am simply the son of that bastard who didn't even consider me and my mother his family. We were only his slaves and nothing more."

Naruto shook his head and said, "That won't be a problem anymore Kido."

Kido asked, "What do you mean Naruto?"

Naruto said, "The Fire Daimyo always did everything to protect his image. Even after forcing himself on your mother and giving birth to you, he needed to protect his image in someway. So he brought both of you into his palace in order to avoid any stain on his image. He did everything to protect his image and that is what we will use to our advantage."

Kido asked, "What's his image got to do with me becoming the next Fire Daimyo? Which is impossible if you ask me."

Naruto said, "Since the Fire Daimyo protected his image so much that even his own guards didn't find out about his dirty deeds. All they knew about him is that he was a kindhearted ruler. Meaning no one knows about you two of his criminal acts. So we will use that in order to make you the Fire Daimyo."

Kido realized that he was speaking the truth. No one knew about him and his mother being the Fire Daimyo's slaves.

He asked, "I understand what you are planning but how can you make me look like his son? He kept us hidden below the palace."

Naruto said, "Before I killed the Fire Daimyo, I put a letter in his room. When the guards discover that the Fire Daimyo is dead, they will search the room for any evidence. There, they will find the letter and read its contents which state about his son and wife."

Kido asked, "What does the letter say about us?"

Naruto said, "The letter simply says how he secretly loved your mother and have you as his son. How he kept you both under the palace in order to protect you two from any assassination attempts. The letter will also state that should anything happen to him, then you Kido, as his son will take his place as the next Fire Daimyo."

Kido was shocked to hear such a plan that was made by an 9 year old boy. He asked, "But what about his-"

Naruto cut him off and said, "If you are asking about his writing legitimacy, then you don't have to worry because the writing is perfect. No one can find any fault in the letter as everyone will see that it was written by the Fire Daimyo himself."

Kido didn't know what to say. He hated his father for what he did to her mother and then treated them like slaves. He wanted him to pay with his life but he couldn't do anything against him. However, with the help of Naruto, his revenge, his suffering was over. Naruto saved his mother and kill his bastard of a father.

Kido smiled with tears falling from his eyes and said, "Thank you Naruto. For everything you done. I would be honored to be your friend."

Naruto smiled and said, "And I am be happy to call you one of my friend. Now, lets get you and your mother ready for tomorrow."

Naruto snapped his fingers and created a pair of clothes for Kido and his mother. They both wore the clothes and his mother hugged him and thanked him for saving her and her son from their cruel life. They waited next morning when the guards found out that the Fire Daimyo died in his sleep. They then searched the room for evidence of any assassination attempt but found none. All they could find was a letter written by the Fire Daimyo.

They soon found out that the Fire Daimyo has a son and a wife below the palace where they were protected from any assassination attempt. They also found out that the Fire Daimyo wanted his son to take his place if something ever happen to him. The guards soon came below the palace and found Kido and his mother. They were taken to the upper floor and within a few days, Kido was announced to be the next Fire Daimyo.

Life for Kido and his mother soon turn better than before. Now instead of a small room with limited object, they now live in luxury within the palace. Kido didn't let his position go to his head as he has seen the poor and a slave's life from his own eyes. Over the year, he became a very good ruler and banned any slave operation and such. He would spread his wealth towards the poor and help them by giving them jobs.

Kido and his mother became very good friends with Naruto who was the one that gave them this life. From the time he was with them, he shared his life story with them. When they found out how Naruto was treated by his own family, his own village, they became furious that Kido wanted nothing more than to liquidate all of Konohagakure assets and destroy it. However, Naruto stops him by saying that he had another way to deal with the entire village. When he told them about his plan, Kido agreed to it and said that he will support him. That's all Naruto needed for the plan.

After spending a few more days with Kido and his mother, Naruto said his farewell to them and returned back to his village with the help of Ash who opened a portal to the Forest of Death.

Naruto then spent the rest of the first year going to the academy, training and occasionally meeting with his friend, the Fire Daimyo.

Second Year Ninja Academy

Naruto was now 10 years old. During the second year, several things happened. Even though Naruto tried to keep a low profile, the Hokage's children Menma and Narumi were getting on his nerves. They would always try to belittle him and say that he should quit being a ninja and that he was a waste of a space. They would always praise themselves like they were the children of the Hokage and how they were better than everyone else and that they were the heir of their clan.

They didn't know that the one they were picking on were their older brother Naruto. However, he simply ignored them and said, "If you two are so great, then why don't you achieve something on your own rather than using the Hokage's names? And why don't you stop talking to me since you both are so better and I am a clanless orphan?"

This made everyone in the class look at him with wide eyes as he was the only one who stood up to them. Menma and Narumi were seething mad that someone went against them but couldn't do anything since it would hurt their pride. So they simply left him alone but they occasionally badmouth him. Even Neji and Saskue joined them in belittling him but Naruto didn't care. Saskue became a brooding emo that have a superiority complex.

Naruto just held himself back and spent his second year while tolerating the four bastards. Mikoto was very sad that her son Saskue has become an arrogant person. She wanted to help him but can't. All she can do is pray that he would turn back into that sweet little boy she love.

An event happened during this year which Ash told Naruto about it. He told Naruto about going to Kirigakure and help that village. However, Ash won't help him. Naruto will need to do this alone. Ash told him that he needed experience and helping this village not only gives him that but an ally and a supporter to his plan as well. Naruto accepted and Ash sent him to Kirigakure with the help of a portal.

Kirigakure

Kirigakure is the village Hidden by Mist which is the hidden village of the Land of Water which is one of the Five Great Shinobi Countries. The village is surrounded by a thick mist, with several mountains in the background, making it difficult to be found by foreigners. Kirigakure's architecture is composed of several cylindrical buildings, with the Mizukage's office being the widest and largest. Most of the buildings have vegetation growing on their roofs.

What was the event in Kirigakure? Well, it wasn't a good event that's for sure. It was a slaughter and it was done by the order of a single person. The Fourth Mizukage Yagura.

Yagura, being the strongest shinobi in his village at that time, was elected as the Fourth Mizukage at a very young age. He was made a jinchūriki at a very young age and learned to control its powers over the following years. Yagura was the jinchūriki of the Three-Tails.

As Yagura rule, he was known to have no tolerance for any form of treachery against the village and he reinforced its nickname as "Village of the Bloody Mist" by the barbaric ritual where Academy student's would be forced to kill each other in order to graduate. The practice was discontinued when an entire graduating class of students was massacred by a young Zabuza Momochi.

The Fourth Mizukage Yagura was mad and ordered the bloodline purged. He was wary of people who had a bloodline and would go against him. So he ordered the execution of any person with a bloodline. Those with bloodlines were regarded with suspicion by the people of Kiri and the wider Land of Water due to their efficiency during times of war. As such, persecution and even murder of anyone with a kekkei genkai was common.

His tyrannical reign lead many in Kirigakure into rebelling against him, as well as other villagers wanting him to be executed. Zabuza was one man who wanted to kill him. So he orchestrated an assassination attempt but failed. Then he tried a coup d'etat but that failed as well. After failing to kill Yagura, Zabuza fled from Kirigakure while taking a young orphan child with him.

Yagura was a young adult with a head of messy-grey hair, pink pupiless eyes and what seems to be a stitch-like marking running from under his left eye, all the way down his cheek. He wore a grey, sleeveless shirt with the Kirigakure forehead protector attached to the front, short-sleeved mesh armor over which he also wears a green poncho along with a turquoise sash around his waist, paired with a green apron over his pants. He wears a pair of brown boots, and on his back he carried a staff-like pole weapon with uneven sized hooks with a green flower on the larger end. He has Water and Wind element.

Mei Terumi was a female ninja who was leading the rebellion against the tyrant Yagura. Mei is a tall, slender woman in her thirties She has green eyes, and ankle-length, auburn hair styled into a herringbone pattern at the back, a top-knot tied with a dark blue band, and with four bangs at the front. Two bangs are short, with one covering her right eye, and two are long, crossing each other on her bust, just below her chin.

Mei Terumi wears a long-sleeved, dark blue dress that falls just below the knees. It seems to be closed at the front with a zipper, and is kept open on the front-right side from the waist down. The dress only covers up to the upper part of her arms and the underside of her breasts. Underneath, she wears a mesh armor that covers slightly more of her upper body than her dress.

Mei Terumi also wears a skirt in the same color as her dress and, underneath those, mesh leggings reaching down over her knees. Around her waist, she wears a belt with a pouch attached to the back on the left along with high-heeled sandals and shin-guards reaching up over her knees, dark blue polish on her fingers and toes, and is usually shown with purple lipstick

Mei Terumi has Water, Fire, Lighting and Earth elements. With these elements, she has two advance elements, the Lava Style and the Boil Style.

Ao was an Anbu of Kirigakure's Hunter-nin Corps. He works for Mei Terumi. During the Third Shinobi World War, he defeated a Hyuga member and took one of their Byakugan, which he implanted into his right eye socket and gain its ability. He uses the Byakugan to protect Mei Terumi.

Ao is a middle aged man with blue hair which is styled in a moused-up manner. His left eye was blue and his right eye was covered with an eye-patch, under which he concealed the Byakugan that he obtained from a Hyūga clan member he defeated. He wore a talisman in each ear with the kanji for a humble form of "to hear" written on them twice on each side. These talismans reacted when his Byakugan is under threat and will protect it from anyone, even himself. He also wore the standard striped, grey suit, with a green haori that had white trimmings that stop halfway down, over them. He has the Water element.

Chōjūrō is the last of Kirigakure's Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. Despite his membership in the elite Seven Swordsmen group, Chōjūrō is a shy individual and seems to lack confidence in his abilities. He also greatly respects and admires the Fifth Mizukage, as he commented inwardly on wanting to protect her "beautiful smile".

Chōjūrō has short, tufty blue hair, and dark eyes. He also has pointed, shark-like teeth; a common trait of the members of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist as well as apprentices share. He wears square, black-rimmed glasses connected to ear protectors, a blue pin-striped shirt and camouflage pattern pants.

He wears his forehead protector on the front of his holster which he uses to carry Hiramekarei. The sword itself is wrapped in bandages leaving only the double hilt visible. He also has shuriken holsters strapped onto each of his legs.

Naruto knew who he needs to help and immediately dashed towards the rebellion forces who were fighting against Yagura's ninja army.

On The Battle Field

As the battle rage on, the rebellion army was losing badly against Yagura's army. Mei Terumi was also on the battle field as she killed her enemies with her Lava and Boil Style. Ao and Chōjūrō were with her as they protect and kill her enemies. However, the more they killed, the enemy would just push them back as they have the advantage in number.

It was looking very bad for the rebellion army as they were being slaughtered when Yagura himself joined the battle field. With his unique water Jutsu, he was slaughtering the rebel army with ease.

Mei Terumi looked with eyes full of sorrow as she sees her army dying in front of her eyes. If nothing is done soon, she along with her army will be killed. She breathed a few times and then she took a stance. She decided. If she dies, then she will take as many as she can with her to the other side. When she was about to engage the enemy, something else happened.

*BOOOM*

Something fell from the sky and came crashing down between the two army. A small tremor was released from this which stopped everyone else. When the dust subsided, they saw a 4 foot tall kid in black and white clothes. Red hair and blue eyes but what frightened them the most was the terrifying mask he wore.

It was a black mask that had two rows of white sharp teeth. Two white eyes and a third eye in the middle of its forehead.

Naruto made this mask to hide his identity from others. Another reason he made this mask was to make him look terrifying which was a success. He stood up and looked at his surroundings. He saw that the shinobis flinched when he looked at them through the mask.

Yagura look at the boy and asked, "Who are you kid?"

Naruto looked at Yagura and sweat drop at that. A kid is calling him a kid. He said, "Um you do know you're a kid as well right?"

This made some of the rebel army snicker at that. Yagura narrowed his eyes at Naruto and asked, "I'm not a kid. I am the Fourth Mizukage Yagura."

Naruto asked, "But how can that be since you're so short? Just like me. That means you are also a kid."

Now this made several ninja of the rebel army laughed at that. A few tick marks appeared on Yagura's forehead and his face became red with anger.

Yagura shouted, "I am not a kid! My height has nothing to do with my age kid! Now tell me who are you and what are you doing here in my village!?"

Naruto waved his hand in a lazy manner and said, "Oh calm down. There is no need to be ashamed of one's height."

This only made Yagura more angry and made the rebel army laugh at his height joke. Naruto continued, "As for who I am? I'm can't reveal myself for I want to hide my identity. But as for why I'm here?"

Naruto grin behind his mask and said, "Your death."

The enemy army became tense and took a battle stance while Yagura just laughed at him. He said, "You're serious? A kid wants to kill me? What can you do against me child?"

Naruto smirked and crossed his hands together. He said, "Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu"

*Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof* *Poof*

Play this awesome music for the battle.

A whole bunch of smoke bombs went off which blinded everyone. When the smoke subsided, everyone gasped in shock at what they saw. There were about 700-800 clones standing in between the two armies.

Yagura was shocked by this but put it aside and said in a smug tone, "What are you doing? They are nothing more than clones. What can they do against my 4000 shinobi? Me and my army will decimate you and your clones!"

Naruto laughed at him and said, "Oh you poor fool. It's not the amount of clones that I can make. It's the quality of clones. My clones versus your army. Me versus you Yagura to a death match."

Yagura gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Come at me kid. Show me what you got!"

Naruto smirked and all of his clones took a Muay Thai stance which confused the enemy as they have never seen that kind of battle stance before. The rebel army and Mei Terumi looked at Naruto in hope that he would be successful in helping them. And it will.

At an invisible signal, all of the clones lunged at the enemy with such speed that took them by surprise. Every clone that reached their target, attacked with intent to kill. Each of the clones' attacks were aimed at their vital spot, such as the heart, stomach and skulls. In the first few seconds, more than 300 enemy shinobis were killed instantaneously.

The enemy shinobi came out of their shock and attacked the clones. They used their kunais to cut them and threw their shuriken at them.

*Clang* *Clink* *Clang* *Clink* *Clang* *Clink* *Clang* *Clink*

However, it was an utter failure in harming the clones with their tools. Every sharp weapon they used against the clones, they bounced off their body. The blades were unable to cut them. They even failed to scratch them. How did they do this?

Simple. All of the clones turned their skin into metal thanks to Asura Path. With this, the vulnerable and weak point of the clones were overcome. Now they can fight without receiving any sort of injury.

If weapons had no effect on the clones, then maybe Taijutsu will. The enemy charged at the clones for close quarter combat but that was a huge mistake. The clones were very fast and danced around the enemies like a blur and then.

*Crack* *Bash* *Crunch* *Bash*

With one lethal blow to the body, the enemy crumple to the ground and died. The clones easily surpassed the enemy in speed and strength. In the eyes of the clones, the enemies were moving slow. So they easily attacked, countered and killed them with ease.

The enemies saw how Taijutsu was ineffective against the clones, so they quickly changed their tactics. Instead of Taijutsu, they began to use jutsu. Since this village was a water village, then all of their jutsu were water base. The enemy used "Water Style Liquid Bullet" at the clones.

However, it was nothing more than rain drops to them. Due to their metal skin, the water bullets simply splashed on contact. The clones didn't even budge from their position.

That didn't work, so they used a stronger Jutsu. The "Water Style Water Missile".

Huge water pillars were shot towards the clones but they did something that shocked everyone. The clones gather chakra under their feet and stuck to the ground. When the water pillars hit them, they weren't pushed back. In fact, the clones rammed through the incoming water pillars.

Another failure. Now Yagura was getting more angry when he saw how the clones were not effected by the water jutsu.

Yagura shouted, "What are you all doing!? Use your strongest Water Jutsu instead of using weak ones fools!"

His army nodded and used their most powerful Water Jutsu. The "Water Style Water Dragon". A large amount of water gathered around and shaped itself into several giant dragon.

With more than 300 water dragons lined up, the enemy thought that they had them. However, that didn't intimidate the clones as they lined up in front of the enemy. The clones then formed several hand signs and shouted "Water Style Giant Vortex!"

A larger amount of water began to spin in front of the clones like a vortex. Soon more water gathered over a large scale which surge and rise up to several dozen meters high. It was like a water tornado. Then all of a sudden, all of the water tornado streams down to the ground like a gigantic waterfall. The huge spinning wave advance forward with tremendous power that hollow out the ground.

The water dragon were no match against the giant water tornadoes as they were sucked into it and then crashed into the enemy line. The enemies were spun inside the water and slammed them into the ground, stones and such. Thus crushing them, breaking their bones and limbs and killing them.

What remains after that technique's utilization is reminiscent of no less than the aftermath of a natural disaster.

Those who were fortunate to survive the wave, were disoriented and were prone to attacks. The clones descended upon the enemies like a wave and killed them with ease. After killing them, the clones advanced towards the rest of the enemies.

Some enemies were scared shitless as they see how easily their fellow ninjas dies by the hands of the clones. They became so scared that they began to use defensive jutsu like "Water Style Water Wall".

However, it didn't even stop them for a few seconds before the clones simply walked through the wall of water and began to kill them.

Mei Terumi watched in disbelief at how the clones easily manhandled their enemies. And with shadow clones who are somehow able to defend against the incoming attacks.

Yagura on the other hand was seething in rage at how easily his army was being decimated by mere clones. Everything his shinobis did against the clones were ineffective which infuriated him. Yagura saw the original Naruto who was pointing at him and then at himself. Like he was telling him to fight him. Yagura growled and jumped into the battle field. If things needs to be done, then do it yourself.

Yagura pointed at Naruto and said, "How dare you brat! How dare you go against me! I will kill you and after I'm done with you, the rebels are next! No one will be spared!"

Naruto did a fake yawn and said, "Yeah yeah. Whatever. Can we begin with this fight? I have better things to do than to fight a kid who has a paranoia against people with bloodline."

Yagura gritted his teeth and formed some hand signs. He shouted, "Water Style Water Dragon!"

A huge water dragon formed and flew towards Naruto. He didn't move from his position and simply waited for the water dragon to come to him. When it reached him, Naruto simply backhanded the water dragons which *Splash* made it explode on contact.

Yagura was shocked to see that his water dragon did nothing and that Naruto stopped it with a simple backhand. If jutsu didn't work against him then Taijutsu will. Yagura charged towards Naruto for close quarter combat. He was great at Taijutsu and thought that he had an advantage in close combat. How wrong he was.

When Yagura reached Naruto, he used his staff to hit him but it missed him by a few centimeters. Naruto leaned his head slightly to the side in order to avoid the incoming attack. After dodging it, Naruto took a Muay Thai stance since it gives him the advantage that Yagura was very close to him. Naruto *Bash* lunged his knee into Yagura's gut which made him double over in pain. He got up and swung his staff again but Naruto deflected it with the back of his hand.

This made Yagura drop his guard and Naruto took this chance to jump back while spinning backwards with his knee hitting Yagura's jaw. *Bash* Yagura was sent flying back as he crash on the ground. Naruto landed on the ground and saw Yagura holding his broken jaw in pain. Yagura growled that he was being manhandled by a kid.

Yagura got back up on his feet. Naruto saw this and lunged at him with a flying kick. Yagura saw this and used his unique Water Jutsu. He held out his staff and shouted, "Water Style Aqua Mirror"

A large, flat, circular pool of water swirl in front of Yagura. The water then began to become flat like a mirror which was held by his staff's hook.

Naruto didn't know what it was and thought that it was a simple mirror. So he continued his attack and when he was getting closer, he saw his reflection in the mirror. Yagura then pushed the mirror down and from it, out came an exact replica of Naruto. The original Naruto and the fake Naruto flew at each other with their own flying kick and *Bash* hit each other.

This is how it happened.

Both of them hit each other and the original Naruto was launched back while the fake Naruto exploded in a water bomb. Naruto landed on his feet and looked at the mirror with interest.

Naruto asked, "What the heck was that?"

Yagura smirked and said, "That is my unique water jutsu, the Aqua Mirror. Whatever attack is thrown at me, I can use the Aqua Mirror to make the exact copy of the attack and send it back towards my opponent. Do you understand what I'm saying? Every attack you send my way, I will copy and materialize it and use it to counter your attacks."

Naruto was really interested in this jutsu. He grinned behind his mask. He wanted that jutsu for himself. And he will get it. Naruto then disappeared from Yagura's sight which made him look at his surrounding. However, no matter where he looked, he could not find his target.

*Bash*

However, Yagura could respond at the sheer speed of Naruto's attack. Naruto appeared behind Yagura and kicked his head with such speed that that he was launched quite a far distance away while leaving his Aqua Mirror behind. Naruto looked down at the mirror with interest. He bent down and grabbed the mirror. He inspected it but found nothing special about. So, at the moment, it was useless to him. So he *Crackle* shattered it and went back towards Yagura.

Yagura struggle to get back on his feet. That kick to his head really disoriented him and damaged him greatly. However, in his struggle to stand back on his feet, he didn't see Naruto charging at him. By the time he noticed him, it was too late. When Naruto reached him, he thrust his foot forward like a spear and *Shik* skewered Yagura through his stomach.

Naruto then pulled out his leg from Yagura's stomach and saw him falling down on the ground. Yagura was dying. Naruto turn around and began to walk away while leaving the others in awe and disbelief at what they saw. The rebels were greatly shock as they saw their greatest enemy and tyrant dying on the battle field.

When Naruto was about to leave, Yagura choked out, "Don't .. leave .. I'm .. not ... done .. yet."

Naruto stops and looks behind him and said, "You have lost Yagura. Accept it and die. You have caused so much innocent blood. It's time you die."

Yagura puked out some blood and said, "I'm not ... done yet kid."

Play this music for an awesome beat down.

Red chakra began to swirl around Yagura's body. *Boom* Soon an explosion occurred which covered Yagura. When the smoke subsided, everyone's eyes widen in fear at what they saw. Yagura was not human anymore. He was more like a hybrid form of the Three Tail Beast. Yagura had a turtle shell on his back and three tails sprout from his behind. However, the most terrifying thing about this form was that Yagura was covered in think red malice chakra that made him look like a demon.

Naruto on the other hand grinned behind his mask. This was the perfect chance for him to test his strength and skills against a Jinchuriki's beast form. He took a Muay Thai stance and prepared himself to fight against Yagura's beast form. Yagura glared at Naruto and roared at him.

"RRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGG!"

Yagura moved with such speed that he appeared as a blur. Others weren't able to follow him but Naruto did. He was able to clearly see where Yagura was heading with such speed. He saw how quickly Yagura was approaching him. Naruto got ready and as Yagura came close, he prepared himself.

Yagura punched and Naruto defended against it with his arm. However, when he blocked it, he saw something growing on his arm. It was coral.

Yagura smirked and said, "That is my "Coral Palm". While in this transformed state, my strikes can cause a large formation of coral to quickly grow from the initial point of contact. The coral will then rapidly solidifies and restricts your mobility, as the coral continues to grow. It will eventually cover your entire body. What can you do now?"

Naruto looked at the growing coral on his arm with a bored face. *Bash* He used the coral to smash it into Yagura's face, causing him to slide back a few meters. Yagura held his face in pain and glared at Naruto.

Naruto said, "So what? It's just a simple coral that will soon restrict me and increase my weight. However, before that could happen, there is still some time for me to beat you up."

With that, Naruto dashed forward and began to unleash a barrage of powerful blows upon Yagura who tried to defend himself but failed as the strikes plowed through his defenses.

*Bash* *Smash* *Crack* *Bash*

Yagura was thrown back a good distance where he began to take several breaths to stable himself. Naruto on the other hand began to feel the weight of the coral which almost covered his entire right arm. However, this weight was nothing compared to what he is used to. Yagura saw his coral covered arm and began to laugh at him.

Yagura said, "You said that you have enough time to beat me before the coral covers your body. But what now? Your right arm is useless! And soon your whole body will be entirely covered by my coral! Face it! You lost against me!"

Naruto just smirked behind his mask and brought his right arm down upon his right knee.

*Throom*

Yagura's eyes widen as he saw Naruto breaking the coral off of his right arm by himself. The coral was a very hard substance that cannot be broken easily but he broke it with his own knee. That shows how strong he really is.

Naruto swung his right arm back and forth a few times to test it out. His right arm was fine. He then looked at Yagura and saw his shocked face.

Naruto smirkws and said, "What was that about limited time?"

Yagura snarled and opened his mouth. Small blue and red chakra balls began to gather in his mouth and began to merge into one black sphere. Soon the sphere began to grow to the size of a football as he put more of the beast chakra into it.

When the sphere was ready, Yagura aimed it at Naruto and shouted, "Tailed Beast Bomb!"

Yagura shot the condense ball of chakra towards Naruto who saw it coming. Naruto didn't move from his position which made others look at him like he was crazy. Everyone knew that a Tailed Beast Bomb was very dangerous and that there was no form of defense against it. When they saw Naruto not moving from his position, they thought that he was going to die. However, it didn't go that way.

As the Tailed Beast Bomb was coming closer and closer, Naruto simply raised his right hand and spread his fingers. What happened next made everyone slack jaw. When the Tailed Beast Bomb made contact with Naruto's hand, it didn't explod like it should have. Instead, the sphere began to shrink. Naruto used Preta Path in order to absorb the Tailed Beast Bomb.

Soon the entire Tailed Beast Bomb was absorbed by Naruto. He looked around and saw that everyone, including Yagura was looking at him with huge eyes and with their jaws on the ground. Naruto chuckled at their reaction.

'I'm too awesome' Naruto thought with a smirk.

Naruto then disappeared in a blur. Yagura instinct kicked in and he quickly rolled into a ball and rolled away. As soon as he did this, the location where he stood just seconds ago, *BOOOM* blew up into smithereens.

Yagura stops a few distances away and looked at what the cause of the explosion was. When the smoke subsided, Naruto was there with his knee buried into the ground. What happened? Naruto attacked Yagura from above with knee bomb but he ran away quickly and his attack hit the ground. Thus destroying it.

Naruto stood up and looked at Yagura shocked face. He said, "What happened to all that talk Yagura? Why are you running away from a kid? Don't you want to kill me and the rebels? Huuuuuuh?"

This only made Yagura mad and shouted, "Don't get cocky kid! You just had some lucky shots! That's all!"

Naruto said in a bored tone, "Is that so? Well, then, I think it's time to end this. I got better things to do."

Naruto raised his hand towards Yagura and said, "Banshō Ten'in"

Yagura felt something pulling him and he flew towards Naruto against his will. He didn't know what was happening and he was approaching Naruto fast. Naruto began to spin rapidly in his place and kept on gaining momentum. He was spinning so fast that he looked like a mini tornado. When Yagura flew in closer, Naruto used all of that momentum to swung his right elbow and struck his head with it.

*Splork*

Instead of being launching away from the blow, Yagura's head exploded on contact. The force behind that elbow strike was immense that his head could not take it and broke down. Even with the Three Tail Beast's chakra that greatly enhanced his defense was nothing compared against Naruto's powerful strike.

Silence reign the air when the headless body of the Fourth Mizukage of Kirigakure, Yagura fell on the ground dead. Everyone that were present on the battle field couldn't believe that Yagura died by the hands of this mysterious kid. Yagura's army quickly surrendered as their ruler was now dead and would lose against the rebels. Especially against Naruto.

The rebel and Mei Terumi look in disbelief at the dead body of their tyrant ruler. For so long, they suffered under the rule of Yagura and did everything in order to kill him. Finally Yagura was dead and it was all thanks to this mysterious kid. With only his Taijutsu, no less.

Naruto looked at the dead body of Yagura for a while. He was very pleased to know that he can go toe to toe and kill a jinchuuriki while he was in his Beast Mode. What's more that he was able to kill a jinchuuriki with only Taijutsu. He then turned around and left the corpse. When Mei Terumi saw their savior leaving, she immediately ran towards him.

Mei Terumi shouted, "Please! Wait!"

Naruto stops and turned around to see her. He said, "Yes? Is there something you need?"

Mei Terumi stops and bowed to him. She said, "I want to thank you for killing Yagura. We have suffered for so long under his rule and wanted him dead but we weren't strong enough. Then you came and killed him just like that. I don't know how to thank you for this."

Naruto looked at the women and saw how beautiful she looked. It made him blush but thanks to his mask, it was not seen by her.

Naruto rubbed the back of his head and said, "Um no problem. I simply came here to kill him and nothing else. So yeah. I need to be going. Goodbye."

Mei Terumi stops him and asked, "Wait! Can't you tell me the name of our savior?"

Naruto stops and thought about revealing his name. Should he tell them or not? After thinking for a while, he came to a decision. She might be able to help him in his plan.

Naruto looked at her and said, "My name is Naruto. That's all you need to know."

With that, Naruto disappeared from her sight. Mei Terumi memorized his name and promised to help him in the future when she finds out who he is. Maybe he could be her ideal husband. Though Naruto is a bit too young for that. However, Mei can wait for him to grow up and then he will be her husband.

Naruto appeared outside of Kirigakure with his speed movement. Ash then appeared in a swirl in front of him.

Ash said, "I watched you beat the shit out of Yagura. You did magnificent little bro."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thanks bro. It was all thanks to your teachings."

Ash said, "And I also see that you fancy the beautiful Mei Terumi. Is she your type?"

Naruto blushed and said, "N-no! She i-is not m-my t-type! She is .. s-she is.."

Ash said, "Oh! You're talking like Hinata now. That's so cute. I thought that you and Hinata were made for each other. Are you cheating on her?"

Naruto's face was red now and he shouted, "Stop it bro! Please!"

Ash laughed and said, "No worries little bro. I was just teasing you like a big brother should do. Now, tell me how do you feel fighting a Jinchuriki and won against it with only your Taijutsu?"

Naruto smiled widely and said, "It was the best bro! I was a bit scared of fighting a Jinchūriki. Especially in their beast mode but I fought him and won! With all the training you made me do, my reflexes, sight, speed, strength and endurance surpassed Yagura's!"

Ash nodded and said, "That's good to hear little bro."

Naruto said, "Also! Check this out!"

Naruto made some hand signs and said, "Water Style Aqua Mirror"

Water began to swirl in front of him and then turned into a mirror. Ash looked at the mirror with interest.

Ash asked, "What's this jutsu little bro?"

Naruto grinned and said, "This is Yagura's unique jutsu. I was able to copy it by absorbing the Tailed Beast Bomb he shot at me. I now got a small amount of the Three Tail Beast's chakra inside of me. With it, I am now able to use this jutsu."

Ash nodded and said, "That is great Naruto. Even though you have some chakra of the Three Tail Beast, you won't be able to produce more."

Naruto's face became a bit downcast at not using the Three Tail beast's chakra. His face lit up at what his brother said next.

Ash said, "For now, save the Three Tail beast's chakra. We will go back home and I will see if I am able to do another surgery that will allow you to produce more of the Three Tail Beast's chakra."

Naruto said, "Really? That's so awesome bro! You're the best!"

Ash smile and said, "Thanks little bro. Now lets go back home."

Ash used "Kamui" to create a portal and entered it. They returned back to their home village.

Back at Kirigakure, after Yagura's death, Mei Terumi ascended as the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure. After the dreadful reign of Yagura ended, she became Mizukage and worked tirelessly to reform internal policies and recreate diplomatic relations with other villages during the year. She and her people will never forget the mysterious boy Naruto who help them achieve peace for their village.

Third Year Ninja Academy

Naruto was now 11 years old. During this year on Naruto's birthday, Ash allowed him to bring all of his class friends to the Forest of Death.

Naruto asked, "Why do you want me to bring my friends here bro? You told me that you want to keep yourself a secret from the village."

Ash said, "I want to meet you friends little bro. Also, I want to hear what they want to do in their future. If their answers are right, then they can greatly help you in your future. I want to see if they are loyal friends to you. That is why I am allowing you to bring your friends here."

Naruto nodded and said, "Thanks bro. I'll bring them here in a while."

With that Naruto left the forest and meet with his class friends. He invited Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Hinata Hyūga, Hanabi Hyūga, Shino Aburame, Rock Lee and Tenten to his house in the Forest of Death. They were all afraid of the forest but with Naruto's presence, the beasts avoided them as they recognize him as the alpha of the forest.

Kiba asked, "Naruto. Why did you bring us here of all places?"

Naruto said, "I live here guys."

This shocked everyone and Ino asked, "Why would you live in the Forest of Death of all places? Don't you know how dangerous this place is?"

Naruto said, "Don't worry about it Ino. The beasts of this forest are afraid of me and stay away from me."

Hinata asked, "W-why would t-they be afraid of y-you Naruto if you d-don't mind me a-asking?"

Naruto smiled and said, "I don't mind Hinata. It's because the beasts know I am strong and can kill them with ease."

This shocked everyone again. The beasts were very strong and dangerous. To think that they would be afraid of Naruto was something unbelievable.

Kiba said, "You must be joking Naruto. My mother has told me how dangerous the forest is and she forbade me from going anywhere near it. And we are already inside the forest!"

Naruto said, "I'm not lying Kiba. I am strong and have killed them before. Their instinct tells them to stay away from me and refrain from attacking me."

*Thud* *Crash*

"SSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Naruto sighed and said, "Of course there are some nincompoops who think that they can win against me. Like this giant scorpion beast."

Indeed. A giant scorpion beast came crashing through the thick trees and stood in front of them as it bears its fangs at them. Everyone was scared of the beast, except for Naruto who looked at the beast in annoyance.

Choji said, "Guys. What do we do?"

Ino said, "Get away get away get away. Ew ew ew!"

Kiba said, "I know! Shino. Why don't you deal with it with your bugs?"

Shino said, "I can't do that Kiba."

Kiba said, "Why? You use bugs. So why don't you tame that beast as well. It is a scorpion. An insect."

Shino said, "That can't be done Kiba. Because this beast is huge and is able to resist my chakra. My bugs can't do anything against it either."

Hinata hugged Hanabi and said, "N-naruto. We n-need to g-get out o-of here. It's t-too d-dangerous."

Naruto smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about anything Hinata. I didn't bring you all here just so you all could die. Give me a second and I'll deal with it."

Naruto then disappeared in front of their eyes. They couldn't find him anywhere but then.

*Bash* *Crash*

Everyone looked towards that sound and their eyes widen at what they saw. Naruto was sitting on top of the beast's head which was buried in the ground and a crater was formed. Naruto just smiled and waved at them. Everyone looked at him in disbelief at how he was able to beat a very strong beast within seconds.

Tenten asked, "Naruto. How did you take it down?"

Naruto said, "I simply brought my elbow down on its head and it was over."

Lee exclaimed, "That is a very great move Naruto. To think that you excel in Taijutsu like me, makes me happy."

Shikamaru said, "Troublesome. I knew it."

Choji asked, "What did you know Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru said, "I knew that Naruto was strong but I didn't think that he was this strong at such a young age. I bet that he is even stronger than Menma and Narumi combined."

Ino asked, "Naruto. Is what Shikamaru said true? Are you really stronger than you look?"

Naruto smiled and nodded. He said, "Yes. I am strong. Very strong for someone my age."

This shocked everyone when they heard it from his mouth. Kiba asked, "If that is true Naruto, then why didn't you put those bastards Menma and Narumi in their place. They are really annoying and arrogant to everyone."

Naruto shook his head and said, "I can't reveal my true strength Kiba. It would mean trouble for me."

Kiba asked, "What kind of trouble you are talking about Naruto? I say that you should show everyone just how strong you are."

Shikamaru said, "He can't reveal his strength Kiba. It would be very troublesome if he did reveal his strength."

Kiba said, "What?"

Shino said, "Think about it Kiba. Naruto's own family has treated him like shit. They look down at him like he was nothing. If Naruto revealed his true strength to everyone, then his former family would either force him to train Menma and Narumi or they would take away his strength in someway."

Ino was shocked to hear that and asked, "Is that why you are hiding your strength Naruto? Because of your former family?"

Naruto sighed and nodded. He said, "Shino is right. I don't want my former family to find out about my true strength. They would try to take it away and give it to Menma and Narumi."

Choji asked, "Then when will you reveal your strength Naruto?"

Naruto smiled and said, "All in good time Choji. Now come. I need you all to meet someone."

Naruto grabbed the dead scorpion and drag it with him. The others soon followed him.

Hinata asked, "N-naruto. Who is t-this you w-want u-us to m-meet with?"

Naruto said, "He is my big brother."

Everyone were shocked again. Lee asked, "But Naruto. Last time I heard, you were the eldest son of Minato."

Naruto said, "He is not related to me by blood. He is the one who saved me and gave me everything a child needed to survive."

Tenten asked, "What do you mean that he saved you Naruto?"

Naruto sighed and said, "When I was 6, I was tired of living. I was tired of the way this village treated me. I was tired of the way my ... family treated me. It came to a point where I attempted suicide and stabbed myself in the chest with a kunai."

Everyone gasped in shocked. How could he do that at such a young age.

Kiba asked, "Wait. What did you mean by how the village treated you Naruto?"

Naruto said, "I'm talking about how I was beaten everyday by the village near death."

This made everyone gasped again. Choji asked, "Why would they beat you Naruto? You never did anything to them."

Naruto remained silent for a while and then said, "Before I answer that, tell me what you know about the Kyuubi."

Shino said, "A few years ago, Kyuubi attacked the village, killed most of our ninjas and civilians. The Yondaime fought the Kyuubi and killed it. The Kyuubi's chakra was left behind, so he sealed them in Menma and Narumi."

Naruto sighed and said, "What I'm about to tell you is an S Rank secret. The only reason I am telling you this is because you have never treated me like a monster. So don't go around spreading this because if you do then the ANBU would kill you immediately."

The others paled at that. Ino asked, "What is this secret Naruto and how do you know about it?"

Naruto asked, "You all know that my former family doesn't see me as a family member don't you?"

Everyone nodded. Naruto continued, "Well, I found out the reason they don't see me as family. The reason I am hated in this village. The reason I am glared hatefully by the villager, beaten, starved, neglected and such."

Hinata asked, "W-what i-is it N-naruto?"

Naruto said, "What you don't know is that the Kyuubi wasn't killed. The Kyuubi's chakra was sealed into Menma and Narumi but its soul was sealed inside me."

Everyone was shocked to hear that. They were lied to by their very ruler.

Kiba asked, "Um you're not being controlled by the Kyuubi, are you?"

Shikamaru said, "Troublesome. Naruto can't be controlled by the Kyuubi, Kiba."

Tenten asked, "What do you mean Shikamaru?"

Shikamaru said, "Like Naruto said, the Kyuubi's chakra was sealed inside Menma and Narumi and the soul was sealed inside Naruto. A soul without any chakra is as harmless as a new born kitten."

Naruto nodded and said, "Yes. He is right. Kyuubi can't do anything to me without its chakra."

Lee said, "I believe you Naruto. You have been a very pleasant friend to me. If the Kyuubi did control you then you would be different."

Tenten asked, "I believe you too Naruto. But I still don't get it, why did the village beat you up?"

Naruto said, "The villagers are nothing but idiots. They don't see me as a human or the jailer of the Kyuubi but as the reincarnation of the demon Kyuubi. They beat me up thinking that they are beating the Kyuubi in its weaken form."

Kiba snarled and said, "Why would they do that to a young child!? You did nothing to them and they did this to you!"

Naruto said, "Like I said Kiba. The villagers are idiots. Especially the civilians council."

Kiba growled, "It's still wrong!"

Hinata asked, "N-naruto. Does y-your f-father k-know a-about t-this?"

Naruto said, "Oh he does know about my beatings. But the truth is he lets them beat me. His own son!"

Everyone was shocked to hear that and Ino asked, "Why would he do that? You're his son!"

Naruto said, "He doesn't see me as his son. Just an extra baggage. He lets them beat me and lets them get away with it too. He wants me to be the scapegoat for the people who lost their loved ones."

Now they were angry and disgusted by their Hokage. To treat one of their own like that. It goes everything against their teaching.

Choji said, "But wait! If this is an S Rank secret, then why does everyone know about it?"

Naruto said, "Technically, only the adults know about it and are forbidden to speak about it. So they found a loop hole and told their younger generation about me being a 'demon in human skin' and 'monster' and such, so that they would keep away from me."

Now they were angry and disgusted at the village. How dare they did this to Naruto. A young child.

Hinata asked, "N-naruto. You s-suffered so m-much. Is t-that why you c-committed s-suicide?"

Naruto look down and nodded. Tenten asked, "Wait. If you did commit suicide, then how are you still alive?"

Naruto looked up and smiled. He said, "The day I committed suicide, is the day I was saved by my big brother. He is the one who looked after me and helped me achieve this much strength. He has given me so much that even a family couldn't give that much to their own children. He is my precious brother."

Hinata asked, "Who i-is your b-brother N-naruto?"

Naruto smiled and said, "Just follow me. You all will meet him."

Naruto kept on walking as he dragged the corpse of the scorpion while his friends followed him.

Shino asked, "Naruto. Is there any reason you are dragging that scorpion's corpse?"

Naruto said, "Yep. Its food."

Everyone stops right in their tracks and their face became sick green.

Kiba choked out, "What did you say?"

Choji said, "You're not serious are you?"

Naruto laughed and said, "That was my first reaction too! But don't worry about it. Bro can cook anything into delicious food. Trust me. I have eaten his cooking before and I have to say that he is the worlds best cook there is. Now come."

Naruto and his friends walked deeper into the forest. They kept on walking until Naruto disappeared right in front of their eyes.

Ino asked, "Where did Naruto go?"

Kiba said, "Yeah. He was right there and the next seconds, he's not. I can't even smell his scent."

Hinata used her Byakugan ability and said, "Even m-my Byakugan c-can't find h-him. Where is N-naruto?"

Then out of nowhere, Naruto's head came into existence and said, "Hey. What's with the hold up guys?"

Everyone screamed when they saw nothing but his head.

Naruto's arms came into existance and covered his ears. He said, "Hey! Why are you all screaming!?"

Kiba pointed shakily at him and said, "you you you ... you're only a head! With arms!"

Naruto looked down and saw his arms but not his body. He smiled sheepishly and said, "Um guys. I'm okay. This is actually just an invisible wall. Come on inside."

Everyone looked at each other and then they slowly walk forward. When they reached Naruto, they all felt like they crossed an invisible wall. As soon as they crossed that point, they saw a huge house made of wood, a huge lake and several destroyed trees. Everyone looked at this place in wonder.

Lee asked, "Naruto. Where are we?"

Naruto said, "Welcome everyone. Here is where I have been living for a few years, along with my brother and two people."

Shikamaru asked, "Who are the other two?"

Naruto said, "Just wait here while I go and bring them."

Naruto then left them and went inside the house. After a while, Naruto came with 3 people. One was a hulking giant while the other two were female.

Naruto said, "Everyone. I want you to meet my big brother, Ash."

Ash waved at the children and said with a smile, "Hey little ones. How are you all doing?"

Everyone was awe and shocked to see someone so huge. They can clearly see that this individual was very powerful. They all greeted him.

Ash smiled and said, "I want to thank you all for being good friends with my little bro here. He sometimes gets lonely, if you know what I mean?"

Naruto said, "No I don't! There is you, Yoko and Mikoto-chan here!"

Ino asked, "Wait what? Mikoto-san is alive? I thought she died in the Uchiha massacre.

Ash said, "I saved her that night. She didn't deserve to die."

Mikoto came forward and said, "Hello young ones. As you can clearly see, I am safe and alive. I live here with Naruto."

They all greeted her. Then Tenten saw Yoko and asked, "Hey. Who are you miss?"

Yoko looked down and didn't say anything. Naruto saw this and said, "Everyone. Before I introduce her, I want all of you to promise not to be scared or attack her. Okay?"

Kiba asked, "Why is that Naruto?"

Naruto said, "Just promise me guys."

They all looked at each other and and then looked back at him and promised. Naruto said, "Everyone. I would like you to meet Yoko. She is also known as the Nine Tailed Fox."

Everyone was shocked to see the Kyuubi out in the open like that. They were afraid of her and were about to run away but stopped when Hinata asked, "Naruto. What is she doing outside of your body?"

Kiba asked, "And the Kyuubi is a she?"

Naruto nodded and then told them all about how the Kyuubi was ripped out of Kushina by a masked Uchiha and was controlled by him. They all understood what happened and look at the Kyuubi in sadness. They realized that Yoko was just a victim of that tragedy who was used by a mad man. They all console her and said that they don't hate her. This made Yoko happy that she was accepted by them.

Tenten asked, "Um excuse me Mr Ash?"

Ash waved his hand and said, "No Mr needed little one. Just call me Ash. It makes me sound old."

Tenten said, "Ash. Have you been looking after Naruto?"

Ash said, "Yes I have. I have become his adoptive big brother."

Kiba asked, "Are you the one who trained him to get this stronger?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yes I am. Naruto worked very hard to achieve this level of strength and he will only grow more in the future."

Hinata asked, "Um Ash. C-can I a-ask you to t-train us, i-if you d-don't mind?"

Ash smiled and said, "I don't mind little one. In fact, I told Naruto to bring all of you, his friends, here for that very reason."

Kiba said, "What!? Really? You're going to train us?"

Lee said, "Yosh! If Naruto can get this much stronger with training, then I too would like to be trained by you Ash Sensei."

Tenten said, "I would like to be trained as well by you Ash."

Ino nodded and said, "Me to."

Kiba smiled widely and said, "You hear that Akamaru? We are going to be trained by the very one who trained Naruto."

Akamaru barked happily. The other children accepted and were happy to be trained by him.

Shikamaru sighed and said, "Troublesome. Why would you want to train us Ash? Is there some hidden catch or something?"

Ash chuckled and said, "Always very perceptive Nara. Well, the reason I have called all of you here is to talk about the future of this village."

Choji asked, "Future? What do you mean by that Ash?"

Ash asked, "Tell me. Have you not noticed how the villagers are acting like they are all high and mighty for the past few years? Have you not seen how they act arrogantly? The civilian council is the worst. They act like they own the ninja. The best example of this is how every civilian council member is kissing up to Saskue just because he is the last Uchiha in this village. They are giving him everything, even jutsu from other clans without their notice in order to make sure that he is loyal to this village. This village is not what it used to be in the past. This village has fallen from grace."

Lee asked, "But it can't be that bad? Right?"

Ash said, "Here is another example. The Ninja Academy. There, you are taught nothing but history and such. They train you very little in Taijutsu and Genjutsu. In fact, they skip Genjutsu cause they think that it is a useless skill but they are wrong. A Genjutsu might just be the thing that could save your life in future events. Next is that they don't teach you anything about Ninjutsu. They just tell you how to do a bit of chakra control and that's it."

Tenten asked, "Why is that?"

Ash said, "Because, most of the children that goes to academy are clan children. So they don't teach you anything worthy as they expect you to learn from your clan. Because of this teaching, many civilian's children failed to graduate because they are not taught anything useful by the teachers."

Tenten nodded because she is a civilian ninja in training. She asked, "That is true Ash but who has allowed this? I don't think the Hokage would allow this to happen."

Ash said, "The Hokage does not even know what is happening in the academy. This is all because of the civilian council. They try to fail the civilian's children as they don't see them as special. They only focus on the clan children. Because of them, very few children are able to pass."

Shikamaru said, "Troublesome. I knew the civilian council would be troublesome."

Choji asked, "So they are corrupted?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yes they are. As well as many shinobi who support the civilian council. They are the ones who are making this village weak."

Everyone was shocked to hear that their own civilian council is weakening and corrupting the village.

Kiba asked, "So the civilian council needs to be stopped? How can we do that?"

Tenten said, "True. We are only children. We can't do anything to them?"

Naruto said, "You don't have to do anything to them at the moment. Bro has a plan for that and he has been training me for such thing."

Ash said, "That's right. The reason I have brought you all here is because you have never treated Naruto like a monster or demon like the villagers had. Instead you became friends with him. For that I am very thankful to everyone of you. Now for my reason to have you all of here is not only to train everyone of you to become stronger but I want you to be loyal friends to Naruto in the future event."

Lee said, "Yosh! You can count on me Ash. I will be Naruto's most loyal friend as he was the one who gave me hope to continue training to be a ninja."

Tenten said, "Me too. Just like Lee, Naruto helped me in learning how to use weapons. I will be his loyal friend too."

Ino said, "I too will be Naruto's loyal friend as he saved me from those mean bullies."

Hinata said, "Um m-me too. Naruto also s-saved me f-from s-some b-bullies."

Hanabi said, "Naru (Nick name for Naruto) is my big brother. So I will be his loyal friend too."

Kiba said, "He shared food with me after me and Akamaru trained. Someone who he never met before. I will be his loyal friend too."

Choji said, "Naruto never made any fun about me. He is always been nice to me and my friend. I will be his loyal friend too."

Shikamaru sighed and said, "Troublesome. I knew that Naruto would be troublesome. But what's life without a bit trouble. I'm in. I will be Naruto's loyal friend."

Naruto smiled and said, "Thank you everyone."

Ash cleared his throat and said, "Good. Now let me tell you about my plan for Naruto and this village. I know that I don't have to say this but don't tell anyone about this place, about Naruto, about Yoko, about Mikoto, about the plan and about the training. keep everything a secret from everyone. Even from your own parents. I am putting my trust into all of you. Understand?"

Everyone nodded and promised that they won't speak anything about what happens here.

Ash said, "Good. After I tell you all about my plan, I will begin your training. Whenever you have free time, then come here and continue your training. If others ask about where you were are where you are going then simply say that you were training. Make excuses to come here but try to make sure that you are not followed."

Everyone said, "Yes! Sensei!"

Ash nodded and said, "Good. Then lets get started, shall we?"

After telling them about his plan, everyone understood and they supported him and Naruto. Then Ash began to train them so they will be able to support Naruto and fight for him and defend him.

That day was also the day they tasted Ash's cooking and became fans of his food. At first they were sick about the dish he made from the dead scorpion but when they saw Naruto eating it with a bliss expression, they too tried it. When they did, they devoured their food like they were starving for a week. Ash also told them that a ninja is able to eat anything in order to live. They believed him since he made a disgusting scorpion into a delicious food.

For the rest of the year, the children along with Naruto worked very hard and were slowly becoming powerful.

Fourth Year Ninja Academy

Naruto now became 12 years old. In this year, nothing important happened. Naruto and his friends have been secretively training in the forest of Death. With the amount of training they have been doing, they were very much surprised how much stronger they have become. They've become powerful enough to even take down Neji and Saskue in a one on one match. However, when it came to Menma and Narumi, they can fight them to a stand still.

Just like Naruto, Ash told them to hide their strength from others. They need to hide their strength in order to make them look weak. They just have to endure this for a little more time, until the Chunini Exam comes. They accepted it and endured the bullshit from Neji, Saskue, Menma and Narumi. Just a little bit more time and then they will show their true strength to the whole world.

During this year, Hinata gave a terrible news to Naruto and his friends. It all happened when one day, Hinata came to the Forest of Death with teary eyes which made everyone worried about her.

Naruto asked, "Hinata. What happened? Are you okay?"

Hinata shook her head and said, "Everyone. I have very bad news."

Ino asked, "What is it Hinata? What's the bad news that made you like this?"

Hinata said, "My f-father has m-made an a-arranged m-marriage w-with Menma."

Naruto asked, "And what was Minato's answer?"

Hinata said nothing but silently cried. Naruto knew the answer and hugged her to calm her down. The news greatly enraged them but Ash was there to stop their rage and found a solution for it.

Ash said, "So, the Hyuga is trying to make a marriage between their clan and the Hokage's in order to increase their influence? Hiashi is a very sick man to use his own daughter in such things."

Naruto growled and said, "Let me at him bro. I'll rip him into pieces!"

Ash said, "Calm down little bro. We can't afford to reveal your strength to this village."

Naruto said, "But what about Hinata's marriage?"

Ash said, "At the moment, she is too young. So we don't have to worry about her getting married off to Menma. For the time being, leave it and train hard. When you all graduate and the Chunin exam comes, then you can reveal your true strength to the village. After, I think that there can be a heavy change in the Hyuga clan."

Ino asked, "What do you mean by that Sensei?"

Ash said, "As you know that the Hyuga clan is divided into two. The main and the branch. The main house rule over the branch and treats them like slaves. Because of the Cage Bird Seal, the branch members can do nothing to the main house. The hate between the two Hyuga is getting more and more out of hand. I already came up with a plan to fix that. Hinata. Would you like to change the Hyuga clan for the better?"

Hinata sniffed and nodded. She said, "Yes. I w-would very m-much like t-to h-help my c-clan. I w-want to get r-rid of t-the h-hate and t-the Cage Bird Seal. I w-want to m-make my c-clan b-better."

Ash smiled and said, "Then this is what you are going to do."

Ash told her of his plan which made her happy. She dried her tears and accepted it. After that, they continued their training in secret and gained more strength than before. Soon the day of graduation will come and a step closer to Naruto's and Ash's plan.
