A/N "Grenfell does not own Naruto!" I hope you enjoy the latest product of my mad imagination.

Konohagakure

A young five year old child could bee seen running through a dark forest at night. The boy was wearing a black t-shirt, with an orange spiral in the middle of the back. He also wore loose fitting orange shorts and black sandals. His blonde, spiky hair held back by a pair of thin, black goggles, with orange tinted glasses. This boy was Uzumaki Naruto.

Naruto had always been a curious child. Sadly he was also a child that the orphanage he stayed at tended to neglect. While they would feed him, they would never make sure that he was actually at the orphanage or that he was on time for a meal, if he didn't show up on his own, then he didn't eat. The combination of these two things lead the boy to his current situation, having wandered into what is widely known as the Forest of Death.

Naruto, didn't know why but he had always preferred the dark. It was calm and there were know odd stares from the people around him. Being the young and curious child that he was, when he found a section of a nearby forest that he played in that was blocked off, he simply had to find out why.

Walking through some bushes, he found a large cave that appeared to be covered in strands of some white, sticky substance. Deciding to explore the interesting cave, Naruto slowly made his way in. It didn't take long for him to come across a large, cavernous dead end. However, within the cavern was a most curious sight. Standing in the middle of the floor was a gray spider the size of his hand, with orange spikes decorating its abdomen.

Like any other five year old boy when confronted with an odd bug, Naruto did the most sensible thing he could think of. He walked up to it and poked it. The spider took the opportunity presented and jumped onto Naruto's arm. It quickly climbed up his body, and made for the child's face. Naruto barely had time to let out a scream, before the spider dove into his mouth.

Deep within Naruto's mind, an ancient nine-tailed fox watched all this transpire. As the spider began making it's way into Naruto's body, the creature took pity on his container and used it's influence to temporarily shut the boy's mind down.

Outside of his container, the fox could sense more spider's coming. Entering through various locations on his body, burrowing in threw his skin. The fox quickly tried to think of a way to save his container's, and subsequently his own, life from the man-eating spiders.

An idle thought, that is what cemented his decision. The thought of the strange humans who sent insects from within their bodies in an attempt to drain his chakra and weaken them, pathetic at the time but now... 'Yes, this should work perfectly, I wonder what other affects this might have.' and with that thought, the Kyuubi used the seals weakening from the dying container as a catalyst to flood his chakra through the body. Though most of the organ's were largely gone, the flesh was easily re-sewn. Even the eyes could be brought back, though there would be some scarring around them from his chakra.

One Month Later

Hokage Tower

It had been a month since Naruto had been found within the lair of the Yokai Spiders. They were a breed of spider's that had lived within the cave in the Forest of Death since the village's founding. While dangerous in their own territory, they were easy to contain, So long as you could find their queen before a group of them entrenches itself, the outliers died off quickly.

This brought Sarutobi Hiruzen to his latest dilemma. When the Kyuubi's chakra surge had been felt, coming from the Yokai Spider's most well know lair, he quickly got together a team of fire users to try and rescue the young Jinchuriki. However, upon arriving within the lair, they found if to be empty, save for the collapsed body of Naruto.

Not one to look a gift horse in the mouth, Hiruzen had quickly whisked Naruto away from the forest and brought him to a hospital.

It was due to that hospital visit, that one Aburame Shibi stood across from him, a slight buzzing sound, emanating from his thick coat, "Let me see if I understand this right." Hiruzen began, as he puffed on his pipe.

"Upon discovery of the Yokai spider's inhabiting Naruto's body and working with his chakra system, the Aburame clan has decided that they would like to adopt young Naruto-kun. This decision was reached due to the idea that you would be the best in the village to help him learn to control his new 'hive', for lack of a better term." At Shibi's nod Hiruzen let out a sight before nodding.

"Very well, I can't argue against that and he is an orphan so there won't be any trouble here. Just... look after the boy for me."

Shibi nodded as he left the room. What he hadn't told the Hokage was that there was another reason for why he wanted to adopt Naruto. The other reason almost made him smile as he took out a photo of his old Genin team.

The picture showed a younger Shibi, in a dark green, high-collared zipped up, hooded trench coat and matching pants. To his left was a younger version of Inuzuka Tsume grinning wildly, wearing bandages over her chest and long, dark blue pants over her shoe-less feet. To his right was a girl with long crimson hair, her eyes were closed due to a large grin as she held up a peace sign towards the camera. She wore a long-sleeved blue shirt with a white spiral on the front and black shorts, on her feet was a pair of blue shinobi sandals. Finally behind them was a stoic, middle aged man with black hair, wearing a black version of Konoha's Jounin attire, with red straps. This was Danzo Shimura, Team Two's sensei. 'It seems I will be taking care of your little larva after all Kushina.'

5 years later

Aburame Compound

Naruto woke up at the crack of dawn as he usually did. The past five years had been... interesting for the blonde. After he had been informed of his adoption into the Aburame clan, he had began learning about his new 'friends'. He learned that the spider he found in the forest was part of a breed that was known for being able to take down most Jounin when caught alone, why he was alive was a real puzzle for the ten year old.

At first learning to control the spider's was difficult and the sensation of little being's crawling around inside his body was odd, but he slowly became used to it. Luckily there were enough similarities that the Aburame were able to help him grow used to the oddities. Things like hearing the multitude of tiny voices in his head, which was explained as a form of telepathic communication that can develop when one bonds with their swarm.

One day Naruto watched some of the Aburame sparring in their private training ground. Having always wanted to be a shinobi, he attempted to find ways to use his own swarm for fighting. His first challenge was how to get the spiders to move outside of his body. While a trio of holes at the base of his neck were revealed to allow passage, Naruto wanted more, in order to be more efficient. About a year ago the solution to his problem popped up, literally overnight. He went to bed, thinking of ways that he could get the spiders to move out of his body and when he woke up he was sporting a somewhat large hole. as he panicked at being able to see into his arm, he accidently triggered something within his brain that caused the whole to close, revealing the palm of his hand once more.

At first the idea had frightened Naruto, but after a quick discussion with Shibi, Naruto accepted the changes to his hands and, through a lot of meditation and practice, discovered the trigger that would open the new paths for his spiders in his hands. This event also made the Aburame clan head have to reveal a bit of information to Naruto about his body.

Unlike most Aburame, who's chakra network is invade by their bug's, Naruto's entire body housed his spiders. Whatever had changed them, sadly wasn't fast enough to happen prior to the spider devouring most of his insides, his lungs and brain were largely fine, however they now required the spider's to transfer the needed nutrients and oxygen to them, a job the spiders seemed to do on an instinctual level. Naruto also seemed to have an instinctual level of control over his spiders, too the point where they would act at a mere thought. This forced the Aburame to focus on helping Naruto learn self control, as they had more than once caught spiders sneaking a night time snack out of the kitchen.

As Naruto finished dressing for the Academy, he noticed his appearance in the mirror. His blonde spiky hair was still it's normal short length. Like most Aburame, he had taken to wearing a long, high-collared, hooded coat, though his was black. He also wore black fingerless gloves, that had a hole cut out in the palms. On his legs were a pair of black pants, tucked into grey combat boots. Unlike other Aburame, however, Naruto chose to wear his black and orange goggles, who's shades had been darkened slightly to hide his eyes while providing perfect vision.

Naruto quickly grabbed his breakfast with Shino, the son of the man who had adopted him and the clan heir of the Aburame. After breakfast, the two calmly walked to school as they usually did, most people going out of their way to avoid the creepy Aburame.

Within his office Shibi sat studying a Yokai spider that Naruto had allowed him to take. Like the Hokage, Shibi suspected that the Kyuubi was responsible for both Naruto still being alive and the changes in the spiders, such as the reduction of the species size by half of what they were originally. Through his studies, he had managed to discovered that the spider's, much like his own kikaichu, could feed off chakra, however their bite, left a mild paralytic toxin, not enough to kill but it could incapacitate if allowed to flow threw the system. This could be both a blessing and a curse, while it might make capturing a target faster, it would also be more noticeable when a single spider was leaching chakra, then when a kikaichu did it. He had also learned quickly that the spider's were aggressive towards other beings when one of his kikaichu decided to get to close to the spider during one of his tests.

Another weakness that was discovered was that the spider's were incapable of flight, while that wouldn't exclude most of the clan jutsu from the blonde, it would make some of their more prepared traps difficult to manage.

During one of their first family dinner's Shibi and his wife, Sumi, had been shocked by Naruto's spider's coming out of his neck and start eating the food on his plate. When they had returned to his body, the two questioned him on why the spiders stole his food. His response had been to question what they meant, that the spiders had told him they were bringing the food too him instead of having him waste energy by doing it himself. It was then they discovered that the spiders could act almost like a stomach for the blonde. Though he would still eat normally when around those that weren't part of his new family.

Shibi watched as the spider began to slowly move around faster in the cold enclosure he had placed it in, 'Hmm, highly adaptive, at least to cold temperature, fire seems to kill them. Stolen, albino centipede toxin gland made clear integration into spider's system, produces similar toxin when attacking prey. Wonder what else it could adapt to system.'

Konoha Academy

Naruto sat at the back of the classroom alongside Shino and some boy name Sai, who had a creepy grin on his face. As Iruka-sensei was going into detail about the Shodaime's life, Naruto was idly playing with one of his orange-spiked spiders, making the smaller spider crawl up and down a strand of silk on his finger.

He suddenly found an eraser flung at his head. As it struck home, his hand flew out and the spider was sent flying to the front of the room, much to the disgust of the girls in the classroom.

"Naruto! if you are able to pay attention to a bug, then you should be able to pay attention to my lectures! Now, what was the name of the Shodaime's wife?" Iruka tried to question. Sadly he was cut off by the shrieks in the room as the small spider ran around the room erratically.

Iruka sighed before shouting loudly "Shut up!" he began managing to quiet the room, though some girls eyed the spider warily, "Naruto, for the peace of the class could you please collect your spider and then answer the question."

Naruto silently nodded before he held his hand out onto the ground, the hole in his palm opening, much to the disgust of those who could see it. As if hearing a mental call, the spider raced off towards the hand and disappeared into the heavily covered boy.

"The Shodaime's wife was named Senju Mito, formerly Uzumaki Mito." the boy finally answered, his voice quiet, though a slight bit of his former exuberance could be heard in within his more monotone-like voice.

Iruka nodded, "Very good, now moving onto his brother Senju Tobirama..." the teacher began to drone again.

Naruto just sighed as he picked up a raised eyebrow, 'is the spiderling alright?' from his adopted brother. The blonde merely shrugged his shoulders, 'seems like it, no complaints from the others,' was his response. Over the years the two had managed to grow quite close, bonding over the oddities of their hives. While Naruto's was singularly unique, Shino did play host to a deadly variant of their flesh eating beetles. As the two spent more time together, they had begun to be able to communicate through subtle actions, rather than just talking.

As the two had neared their final year at the Academy, they had reflected over their performance so far. They did what they could to appear as middle students, not too bad and not too good. Naruto tended to excel in stealth, trap making, and taijutsu. Shino on the other hand had a tendency for chakra control, theory, and tended to score slightly higher in tests. Due to knowing some of their clan jutsu, they both scored high in ninjutsu and their hives helped them with the genjutsu portion of their learning.

While they hoped to be on the same team together, both knew that it wouldn't be likely. Most clan children were either put on teams from other clans or on civilian teams, in order to spread their talents around.

3 Years Later

Hokage Tower

The Sandaime Hokage looked across at the gathered Jounin, "Now that you have all seen the list of graduates, any who would like to make a team request, please step forward and list the names of the team you want, as well as what type of team you intend to make."

At Hiruzen's statement four figures stepped forward. The first was a red-eyed, black haired woman with a bandage-like dress draped over a red mesh shirt and a red sleeve flowing down her right arm, "I would like to request Hyuuga Hinata, Aburame Shino, and Inuzuka Kiba, for a hunter squad."

Hiruzen slowly nodded, "Very well, Yuhi-san your hunter squad is approved."

Next stood Sarutobi Asuma, a black haired, bearded man who wore the standard Jounin outfit, with a sash of the Daimyo's Twelve Ninja Guardians tied at his waist, "I would like to request this generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio for a capture and interrogation squad."

Once again the older Sarutobi nodded his head and approved the team.

A lazy looking Jounin, with a clue mask covering half his face and gravity defying silver hair stepped forward, "I request Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Aburame Naruto for an assault squad."

Hiruzen was about to sign off on this team before the fourth presence made itself known, revealing the dark robed presence of Shimura Danzo, "Pardon, Hatake-san but I must protest the presence of the Aburame on your team."

Kakashi glared momentarily at the devious Elder before re-adopting his calm mask, "Oh, and why would that be Danzo-san?"

Danzo chuckled lightly, "Due to the Aburame's 'condition' as well as his unique hive, I would say you are one of the one's least equipped to train him, therefore I would like to request the team consisting of Aburame Naruto, Sai, and Kurama Yakumo for an espionage and assassination squad."

The Sandaime's eyes widened in surprise at his old rival's request. Meanwhile Kakashi lazily waved his hand in the air, "Aren't you a bit old to be taking on a Genin team Danzo-san?"

Danzo merely chuckled wryly, "I still have life left, and if there is a mission I can't join them on, I have some 'guards' who can ensure their safety and even teach them a thing or two in my absence."

At the mention of his guards, Danzo sent a small look towards Hiruzen who knew he was referring to his Root operatives.

Hiruzen sat back in his chair, "So you both wish for Naruto-kun in your teams, very well, each will explain their reasoning and why they believe they would be the better sensei for this student.

Kakashi stepped forward to begin speaking, "I knew his parents and can help him with learning his father's jutsu. Also as a Jinchuriki, he would be capable of being a ninjutsu powerhouse, which would be perfect on an assault team."

Danzo stepped forward, a serious expression on his face, "I must protest, Hatake-san's insistence that he can help young Naruto with his father's techniques as he himself has never been able to complete it. Further more, Jiraya can easily be brought it to help in that regard, no matter who the child's sensei is. As for my qualifications, I taught his mother and have had past experience teaching Aburame who have unique hives, one being the kidaichu hive that Shibi utilizes and the other being Torune and his rinkaichu hive. I also have reports that his spider's posses various potent venoms that can be utilized for assassinations, the Aburame attitude he has gained would also lend him well to the assassination field rather than frontal assault."

After Danzo's lengthy explanation, Sarutobi Hiruzen came to a decision.

Konoha Academy

Umino Iruka looked over the newest graduating class of Konoha. Sighing to himself as he thought about the casualties that were likely to result before some of them got the fact that shinobi missions could very easily be deadly, threw their heads.

"Alright here are your team assignments, keep in mind that they were formed by the Hokage, so there is to be know arguing with the decision. Team One... Team Seven: Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura, and Ami, under Jounin Hatake Kakashi. Team Eight: Inuzuka Kiba, Hyuuga Hinata, and Aburame Shino, under Jounin Yuhi Kurenai. Team Nine is still in rotation. Team Ten: Yamanaka Ino, Nara Shikamaru, and Akimichi Choji, under Jounin Sarutobi Asuma. Finally Team Eleven: Aburame Naruto, Kurama Yakumo, and Sai, under Jounin..." Iruka paused as he saw the name, 'This can't be right, I thought he was retired,'

Realizing that he left the final team without a name, he decided to read it off and hope for the best, "Team Eleven under Shimura Danzo."

A/N Alright so I took some liberties with Biology fun! Also don't expect too many descriptions of what the spiders are doing, slight spider issues and this chapter was annoying to write thanks to that. For the spider's imagine a normal wolf spider, color it black and have orange spikes coming off of the top of it's abdomen. I am trying to avoid any real bashing with this (outside of what is shown in canon).

As far as pairings go, I'm thinking either one of the less used females (maybe Fu or Shizune) or, far less likely, a Kiba pairing (though I don't particularly want to due a yaoi pairing with this particular story) we will just have to see where the story takes us. Until next time!
