Hey guys I couldn't really stand waiting for another chapter to come out, so this story is based of The Neglected Prodigy by TriDoxium. I don't really want to get to attached or into a story that needs to continue, just in case I need to take this down later. If I could take silence as a yes then I would. But you never know.

Also other ideas from other fic's that I've read may come through. so please don't hate me! I can't remember which ones they may have come from, so yeah...

Disclaimer: well it's pretty obvious that I couldn't come up with something as great as Naruto, and that right could only belong to Masashi Kishimoto.

On a side note, you probably won't be seeing many line breaks after this. They kind of annoy me.

Speech thingys.

"Normal"

Normal Thought

Kurama

Jutsu

Thought to add the time brackets thing in here to -
{Flashback / Different Places / Different People.}

{Glossed over attack of Kurama and events leading to it.}

Minato smiled as one of the happiest days was about to occur. The twins - Aiko and Naruto - his wife Kushina was carry were being born.

During the birth though, a masked man had released Kurama from Kushina after distracting Minato by taking his two newborns hostage and setting explosive tags on their blankets.

The only way to save the rest of the villagers and the village Minato was forced to seal Kurama's chakra into Aiko and the soul into Naruto.

On that night, the Shinigami spared Minato's life, in exchange that he would be able to take something of equal value that would be yet to come. Minato thinking only of Kushina and the twins agreed, not knowing that he had just condemned his son for loneliness throughout most of his life.

{Seven years later.}

Naruto sat watching his parents training Aiko through the window in his room. He had been watching Aiko get what she wanted for two years now. His parents barely acknowledging his existence. Other than the fact that he may get punished for something that was originally Aiko's fault. And sometimes just because she was bored Aiko would find something else to blame on him, never noticing the effect that this had on her older twin.

While being neglected at home, Naruto would be afraid to walk through the village in fear that he would be hurt over and over again by the villagers. Kids were the worst as they would drag him into an alleyway and beat him as a way to try and subdue the fear that their parents had of him becoming the monster that resided inside him or throw rocks and stones at him. Adults on the other hand would try and pull their kids away from him, . Of course it's not like the kids know this.
What no one seemed to notice that Kurama was starting to regain a little amount of chakra each day, that just went into healing his containers body each time he was beaten. Or that Kurama had made contact with Naruto about at the same time that Aiko had accessed his chakra.

{ Flashback. Four years ago}.

Naruto sat quietly drawing in his room when he heard a voice.

They are going to start hating you soon.

He tried looking around for the source but couldn't find anyone else with him there.

Stop looking around, Kid. You aren't going to find anyone out there.

"Where are you?" Naruto asked quietly, still glancing around.

Inside your mind. The voice paused for a minute. As for your next question, I am Kurama.

"Why are you talking to me?"

Your sister has most of my chakra at the moment. I want you to get it back.

"Will it hurt her?"

That doesn't matter.

"But I don't want to hurt her." Naruto started to feel panicky at this. He wasn't going to hurt his younger sister at any cost. Kurama, taking this as a chance, pushed some of his chakra out at the moment the Aiko had come into Naruto's room. Without knowing what was happening Aiko began to scream as Kurama's chakra began to surface.

Only seconds had passed and both Minato and Kushina were at Naruto's door, horror spreading over their faces as they watched Kurama's chakra start to form around Aiko, before quickly sealing the chakra back inside her. Leaving a very angry Kurama to yell inside Naruto's head.

A few minutes after Minato and Kushina had made sure that Aiko was going to be safe in her room, Kushina stormed back into Naruto's room with Minato following silently behind her.

They both saw that Naruto was back to drawing but not really paying attention to it, as he was also pressing a hand to his head.

"Naruto what did you do?" Kushina yelled as she took hold of the hand that Naruto was drawing with.

Minato tried to calm his wife down until his son spoke.

"Aiko didn't knock, so she got hurt -" Naruto looked at his parents, not realizing that what he had just said was going to change the way his parents looked at him, the way they were going to act around him.

But he couldn't continue as Kushina slapped his face and Minato telling Naruto that he was only allowed to come out of his room for meals until told otherwise, before having to take Kushina out of the room before she could do anymore damage to the situation.

As Naruto sat there, tears started to roll down his cheeks. He didn't go out of his room for lunch or dinner that day.

And this was the starting of the deal Minato made with the Shinigami.

{Present time. Naruto's mindscape.}

Hey Kid, you finally made your way here.

"How did I end up in here?" Naruto looked around the dimly lit place before looking in the cage holding Kurama.

Your mind needed to relax, so just let me take control for a few minutes.

"No! You'll hurt people again!" Naruto cried out, feeling Kurama try to take control anyway. "No! Stop it!"

Naruto fell to his knees in the shallow water.

Is this the thanks I get Kid? For healing you all those times? Being denied what I want?

Instead of trying to talk Naruto crawled between the bars holding Kurama. "I don't want you to hurt people. Don't hurt people."

You still care for them, even after all they've done? Kurama sounded incredulous, trying to figure out why the kid would still want to protect them.

Naruto couldn't reply to Kurama, and yet Kurama still waited. Finally giving up on getting an answer that might actually make sense to him, he decided to do something that may greatly benefit him later. He would train the kid.

{Naruto's bedroom.}

Kurama? Having realized earlier on in life that if his parents were to hear him talk about Kurama in his room alone, they would instantly remember what had happened four years ago, and punish him all over again. Also each time this happened, he would be taken to the hospital and left there until the staff deemed him sane enough to come back home.
Instead Naruto preferred to be ignored. It meant freedom to wander around in the shadows, trying to avoid the villagers as he was walking.

Now Kid, go find some secluded place. I don't want anyone to find you.
What are we doing going there anyway? Naruto's thoughts kept wandering on the topic, sometimes going from one subject to the next until Kurama told him to give it a rest, only Naruto wasn't really paying attention.

If you hurry up and find a place, you'll find out! Kurama roared, making Naruto's mind silent for a bit.

Hey Kurama, does this look like a good place? Naruto asked, knowing full well that Kurama could see out of his eyes, even if he wasn't in control.

Not many people would be stupid enough to follow you in there. And it's good that a barrier can be placed around it so that no one will be able to sense your chakra. Kurama intentionally left out telling Naruto about the fact that his chakra would be accessible to him by the end of this. Not many people will be able to tell that you are training in here either. Anyway Kid, you know what this place is called don't you?

"Yeah…" Naruto looked at the wire fence meant to keep people out in awe. "This is the Forest of Death."

{A few days after entering the Forest of Death.}

Come on Kid. You can do better than that.

"But Kurama, you said yourself yesterday that this was going to take time."

Time you don't really have should you want to catch up to my chakra container. Kurama thought for a few minutes about whether to tell Naruto about a jutsu that would stop everything for a period of time.

"Kurama, what are you thinking about?" Naruto asked, wondering why Kurama had stopped talking.

There is a way for you to gain a years' worth of training in one day. Only the jutsu shouldn't be used everyday, and it will take a toll on your body and mind. Kurama warned, still wanting Naruto to use the jutsu though, as it would mean that he would be able to control his container at times afterwards. The most times that you should ever do this jutsu should be limited to once or twice a week, but with me helping you, we'll be able to do much more than that.

"Okay Kurama, let's begin shall we?"

{Halfway through the next day. Halfway through a year of training.}

Alright Naruto, let me see what you can do with Suiton: Mizu Kamikiri.
Naruto huffed as he once again repeated the jutsu, waiting for Kurama to say that it was going to be good enough. Lucky for him though, after Kurama had seen the deep split in the earth and the uprooted trees he seemed happy at Naruto's progress.

You're getting better and better Kid. It still needs work but for now, you'll be learning Suiton: Ja no Kuchi. The hand seals are as follows: Monkey, Rat, Tiger, Dragon, Horse, Dragon. Also like before, go find that river. It'll be easier to start learning that way.

Naruto kept at it for the rest of that day in the time frame year. Before the next day actually made little progress. A column of water rose a meter off the ground before falling back into the river. A little each day until before a month before the year was to end, Naruto had been making progress to reaching the standard that Kurama wanted with the river there to help him.

Naruto make a Kage Bushin and try it on him.

Naruto rolled his eyes at Kurama's demand, but still followed through with it anyway.

"Kage Bushin no Jutsu." Naruto stared at the clone, before muttering an apology. "Suiton: Ja no Kuchi."

Naruto watched as his clone was hit with the snake's mouth, before watching it disappear disappear in the river that the snake's mouth had become.

"Thanks Kurama. Same as before?" Naruto asked, already knowing that Kurama was going to tell him to move as far away from the stream again and try the jutsu again.

Yes. You might want to hurry on working that without the river though. You've only got one more month till the day is up.

"I guess that we'll just have to wait and see, right Kurama?" Naruto chuckled a little before doing what he always seems to do now. Follow Kurama's lead.

{Completion of Day. Completion of year.}

Naruto quickly moved away from the Forest of Death, aware of how much destruction had changed the landscape inside. He made it home just in time to get cleaned up to sit at the dinner table. Naruto looked at his plate of food, knowing that his parents really only gave him food and shelter.

Hey Kid, next time we go back, you're starting taijutsu. I don't want a container who can't handle what he gives out. Also you're looking a little thin at the moment.

Okay Kurama. Are we going back tomorrow? Kurama hadn't responded and Naruto wondered why when his 'Father' spoke to him.

"Naruto, aren't you happy for your sister?" Minato asked, watching for Naruto's reaction.

Naruto, completely at a loss as to what they were talking about previously just nodded his head in agreement with him, before quickly finishing his dinner and racing up to his room, falling asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow.

As I was saying before you probably won't see many line breaks unless I feel that they absolutely need to be there.

Anyway. This is turning out slightly differently than what I had first thought it would.

About the jutsu's. The jutsu to manipulate time definitely came from The Neglected Prodigy, but since I made it slightly different, I also want to give it a different name, but I'm not sure as to what, any ideas would be helpful.

Pretty much all jutsu's that I use in here will be able to be found at .com

And because they're all in english in there, here they are

Suiton: Mizu Kamikiri = Water Release: Rising Water Slicer.

Suiton: Ja no Kuchi = Water Release: Snake's Mouth.

Kage Bushin no Jutsu = Shadow clone jutsu.
