It was about four years ago when calamity struck the village hidden in the leaves. The nine tailed fox had somehow broken free from its previous container, so inorder to ensure the village's safety, the Fourth Hokage divided its chakra into two of his three new born children, leaving the last one, the eldest with its soul. The two siblings were hailed as heroes, while the eldest with its soul was seen as the demon itself.

Now we see the little boy, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, who looks like a carbon copy of his father Minato Namikaze, limping towards the park, late at night. The villagers finally decided you leave him alone after a beating, a beating his parents never believed he got. He reached the park and sat down on the swing and began to cry.

'Its not fair Kyuu. Why do they always beat me? Why do they never believe me?'

"I wish I knew kit. This is all my fault. I'm really sorry."

'Kyuu! I told you to stop apologizing. Its not yoir fault. Besides, your my best friend.'

"Just wait a bit, alright kit. I'm almost done healing you."

'Ok Kyuu. Thanks.'

Yes, both Naruto and Kyuubi have a great relationship. He met him about a couple of months ago after a harsh beating, when he fell into his mindscape. Even thought his siblings have Kuruma's chakra, each year it slowly returns back to him because of the crappy sealing down. So by the time their ten years old, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze would be the true jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

After he was somewhat being healed, he saw a girl sitting by the tree near him crying. Wondering what was wrong, he went to her.

"Hey there. Why are you crying?" he asked. The girl looked up at him with her red puffy eyes and said,

"There were these boys that made fun of my eyes."

"Your a Hyuuga, arent you?" he said as he recognized her eyes, "they look very pretty. You shouldnt listen to what they say." he said crouching down and giving her a hug. She gave out a small 'eep' but then calm down.

"My names Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. Whats yours?"

"Your the Hokage's son?" she questiined. She had never seen him before with the rest of them. "My name is Hinata Hyuuga. How come I've never seen you before with your family?" Before he could answer, they heard a large splash from the near by lake. They ran to see who or what made that noise, until they saw a raven haired boyin the water. Without thinking twice, Naruto dived into the water and pulled him out. The boy was still unconcious.

"I wonder what happened to him?" Naruto thought out loud.

"I hope he's alright." Hinata worried, "but your both wet, we need to get you something dry."

"Dont worry. I keep somethings hidden around here, just in case." he went behind a hidden bush and took out a long piece of cloth. He ripped it in two and covered one around the boy and the other around himself. Just then, the boy began to stur and opened his eyes. He looked at the faces that were looking at him and shot up.

"Calm down, alright? What were you foing in the lake anyways? You were going to drown!" Naruto yelled.

"Are you alright?" Hinata asked.

"Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks for saving me." he said sheepishly.

"You never anwsered my question?" Naruto said glaring at him. The boy just looked at him and said,

"I slipped and fell." he said embarassed.

"Well we're glad your alright. Whats your name anyways?" Hinata asked.

"Sasuke Uchiha. What are yours?"

"My names Hinata and this is Naruto. We just met really when we found you."

"Hey Sasuke, what were you doing here anyways?" Naruto asked curiously.

"I was training."

"Why dont you ask your family for help?"

"They dont really care about me. All the care about is how great my brother is at everything." He heard a gasp and looked at Naruto who was wide eyed, "what is it? "

"My family does the same thing? Everytime I ask for training, or anything really, its always my siblings that get it and not me" he replied sadly.

"But, yout father is the Hokage!"

"Wait...your dads the Hokage?! I didnt know he had a third kid!" Sasuke exclaimed.

"Yeah I know my family is horrible. I dont like them and they dont like me. Thats why I'm going to trian to become really strong, then they'll regret what they did to me." he smiled at them.

"Whose going to train you?" Sasuke asked

"Kuruma. He's the nine tailed fox. My siblings have his chakra, and I have his soul. Thats why the villagers hate me. They think that I'm Kuruma, so they always beat me in mobs." The two children gasped.

"Is that why you were at the park?" Hinata asked

"Yeah...umm do you guys hate me now?"

"No, thats just plain dumb. I mean if their going to be afraid of someone, they should be afraid of your siblings for having the chakra." Sasuke huffed

"He is right Naruto. I dont think of you as the fox...so, is he cute?" she asked shyly.

"She's asking if the strongest buuju is cute?!...Tell her I'm cute and cuddly and I also have soft fur." Naruto just sweatdropped.

"He says that he is also very cuddly and has soft fur." they just sweatdropped.

"You guys wanna train with me? We could show our families that we're not weak!" he asked.

"Sure, I dont mind."

"Me neither"

"Ok then its official! Lets meet back here tomorrow at around seven, sound good?" they nodded, but they were surprised when they were engulfed in a hug.

"Thank you...thank you for being my friends" Naruto said. They just smiled and it turned into a group hug.

For the next four years, the three children trained like nothing before. In their first year they first trained in speed in stealth. Kuruma told them that they were still too young for stamina, so they would deal with that later. He gave them various odd missions to do and by the end of the first year, they were at least chuunin level in speed. Kuruma also advised them to make a different persona, they henge into new identities so that they could graduate from the academy at an early age, without arising suspicion. It was quite easy when you have the son of the Kage with you, so they went through it with ease. He taught them a seal henge, that although people could see pass through a normal henge, the seal henge was like they were actually that person and it couldnt been seen throught. They asked how he knew this and just said that his first container was a sealing master so he picked up a few things. For the second and third years, they worked on stamina, ninjutsu and taijutsu. They checked their nature affinities and surprisingly, they each had two affinities each. Naruto had wind and lightening, Hinata had wind and water and Sasuke had fire and lightening. It was also during this time that Sasuke unlocked his Shairingan and mature it in the span of two years, surpassing his brother. Dont get him wrong, Sasuke loves his brother, just not the rest of his family. They also made friends within the shinobi ranks like Itachi, Kakashi and Anko. They made them promise to keep their training a secret, which the did and even helped them from time to time. The also trained alot in the Forest of Death, much to their distain and Kuruma's amusement. It was also during these two years that Naruto also unlocked a dojutsu, one that was lost to the Uzumaki clan.
Flaskback
"Alright kits, its time to end today's training. But I need to see something first Naruto." Kuruma said as he took over one of Naruto's shadow clones to teach them. They all gathered around him and he said

"One the first night that you guys met, I thought I saw a change in your eyes Naruto before you passed out. I wasnt sure then but I just want to make sure."

"What do you want me to do Kura?" Naruto asked.

"I want you channel some chakra into your eyes."

"You think he has a dojutsu?" Sasuke asked.

"I didnt know either of your clans had that?" Hinata said.

"Neither did I." He did what he was told and the three gasped. Sasuke and Hinata because they never saw it before, but Kuruma becasue he did

"What what! Does it look awsome.?!" he asked as he waved his arms around.

"Look at your reflection in the mirror and tell me what you see" Kuruma said, still in shock. As he did that the other two looked at him

"Do you recognize it sensei?" Hinata asked.

"Yes, I do. But it doesnt explain how in the world he has it."

"Ehhh?!" they heard and went to where their friend was, "hey Kyuu, why the hell are my eyes purple? And whats up with the rings?"

"All of you have to promise to never tell anyone about Naruto's eyes, is that understood?" Kuruma said seriously, after putting up a barrier. Seeing that the situtation was serious, they all listened

"Why, whats going to happen?" Sasuke asked, unconciously holding Naruto's hand into his and holding it tight, which didnt go unnotices by the two but only by the oblivious Naruto.

"The eyes that you have Naruto are called the Rinnegan, and the only person known to have ever have them was my father, the Sage of Six Paths." they all gasped since they knew who he was talking about.

"But how in the world..." Hinata trailed off as she looked at Naruto.

"Thats what I dont know. So for the mean time keep it a secret. I think I know a couple of its abilities, but try to do some research as well."

End of Flashback

Since that day, they were sworn to secrecy and didnt even tell their three friends. Kuruma said only when they got the hang of it. Something else that blossomed in the span of these two years was a growing affection that was between the two boys, in which both Hinata and Kuruma noticed, but let them work it out themseles. The fourth year, now of the age of eight was an important time for them because they became apart of the ANBU! Yup thats right. Naruto goes by the code name Fox, Sasuke by Crow and Hinata by Rabbit. Funny enough, the Hokage doesnt know its them and they requested to be a three man team. Throughout the span of the year, they grew to becoming legends for the strength and teamwork abilities. They were in the bingo book as an A-rank group from Konoha named 'The Demonic Trio'. All shunobi in the village respected them and they were well on their way to becoming a S-rank group. The only people who know of their identites are Itachi, Kakashi and Anko. They still trained with Kuruma and Naruto was well on his way in becomingba seal master, even going as far as being able to use his 'father's' jutsu. Their respective families problems didnt improve over the years, but now they didnt care. They had each other and that was what mattered.

It was the Uzumaki-Namikaze triplet birthday party. More like Menma and Naruko's birthday party. Like every other party, Naruto didnt recieve any presents, only when he met his friends did he get some from them. Both his younger siblings were both jerks, calling him a loser and extra baggage. He honestly didnt care. Soon the clan heads and their families arrived. Menma went about with Kiba, his best friend and Naruko with her best friend Ino. When Sasuke and Hinata arrived, they came to his side immediately and gave him his presents. He smiled at them, causing Sasuke to blush as he hugged him and quickly put his presents in his room. They just talked but were silience when Minato gathered their attention.

"Thank you all for coming to my two children Menma and Naruko's birthday party. Since its their ninth birthday, I am proud to say that Menma will be clan heir to the Namikaze clan and Naruko for the Uzumaki clan." There were cheers that were said by everyone, except the three children (the older three were not at the party). Naruto was in complete shock that he just stood there and ran to his room. His father just disowned him in front of everyone, and he didnt seem to care! Sasuke ran after him but Hinata just stood there. She was angry, scratch that, she was furious! First this stupid Hokage belittles her friend, her brother, and then has the nerve to disown him! No no no no she wasnt going to let this slide. She started releasing some of her killing intent, because if she did all then that would raise questions. The cheering stopped and everyone looked at where the intent was coming from. Hiashi was surprised that his timid weak daughter was doing it.

"How could you do that?" she said glaring at the Hokage.

"What are you talking about?" he asked, confused of what the girl was angry about, like everyone else.

"You are the most disgusting creature that I've ever seen." she yelled, as a unison gasp was heard, "your sick, your horrible. I'm ashamed to call you my Kage! How could you do that to your son!"

"Hey, your stepping out of line! Our son is clan heir why-"

"SHUT UP! Then what about Naruto, huh? What about your eldest son!" Minato and Kushina, along with the clan heads wide eyed. His parents forgot about him. They all looked at Minato and Kushina who had nothing to say as they realized what the girl said.

"Pfft, him. He's weak. Of course he couldnt be an heir." Menma said.

"Oh, and why do you think thats the case huh? He asks for training but isnt given and then when you deny him that, you take his birthright from him!" she kept glaring at Minato, not looking any where else. "My father might be a stoic, cold hearted bastered but-"

"Hinata!" Hiashi yelled.

"Making a point here" she waved him off, "but even he doesnt disown me. Are you happy Hokage? Are you happy on disown your son, a son you never cared for?"

"We did care for him!" Minato exclaimed.

"If thats the case then where are gis presents?" This got everyone thinking, "for the past five years, every party I was invited to, I never once saw him getting presents from either one of you. So whats your excuse now, huh?" He didnt say anything and just looked down. Kushina had tears in her eyes and even Naruko startee to think. The only one unaffected was Menma

"Why do you even care?" he huffed. Finally getting annoyed at the boy, she turns at him with the same glare and says,

"Shut the fuck up you annoying snot nose brat. No one was talking to you. Only your incompent fools of parents."

"Hinata! Your stepping out of line here. This is the Hokage your speaking to!" Hiashi exclaimed. Never in his life had he seen his daughter like this before.

"So? Whats he going to do? Lock me away? I dont care. But I've seen my friend suffer for far too long. I wont anymore." she turns to head upstairs but looks at the Hokage again with an ice cold glare and said, "so I hope your happy now Hokage, happy that you announced your joy in disowning your son." then continued going upstairs, leaving them in a mixture of emotions.

When Sasuke followed Naruto
Sasuke ran upstairs after Naruto. His blood was boiling. How dare the fucking Hokage do something so...ghgh! He couldnt think straight. He went to Naruto's room and heard small sobs. He opened the door and saw him curled up on his bed crying. He couldnt take it. The one person he loved so much was hurting right in front of him. His heart ached every time he heard a sob.

"Naruto" he whispered. He walked over to him and brought him into his arms. Naruto immediately snuggled into his chest and cried harder.

"Why Sasuke!? Why do they hate me so much!? What did I ever do to them?!" he yelled.

"It isn't your fault Naruto. There just blind idiots who don't know anything." he said as he rubbed his back.

"You know, sometimes I think that there must be something wrong with me" he began as his sobs lessened, "yeah maybe...maybe if I went away-"

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke yelled. Naruto looked up to his face for the first time. Sasuke looked so beautiful in the moon's ray. He always thought that Sasuke was perfect. He loved him because he was kind and a caring person, so it shocked him when he yelled. "How could you say such things? What about me and Hinata? There is nothing wrong with you Naruto. Your perfect in everyway imaginable." He was going to say. It seemed so perfect, so naturally to say it then

"Sasuke..."

"Naruto, I love you." Naruto's eyes widened. He looked at the boy as if he was joking, but he wasn't. The boy of his dreams. The one person he would gladly trade his soul for, said the words he yearned to hear. He had tears in his eyes, as they streamed down him.

"N-Naruto, are you alright?" Sasuke panicked. He didn't know what to expect, but he sure didn't expect him to cry. He wiped the tears off his face and then slowly leaned forward. Naruto did the same and soon, both lips were gentle brushing each other. Before they lip locked, Naruto smiled and said

"I love you too, Sasuke" and then crashed his lips onto his as he wrapped his arms around his neck. Sasuke, who finally got out of his shock, wrapped his arms around the boy's waist. They stayed like that for what it seemed like an eternity and only let go to gasp for air. The gazed at into their eyes and smiled.

"That was.." Naruto began as he hugged him

"perfect" Sasuke finished as he placed both of them onto Naruto's bed. The door opened and Hinata came in with a smile on her face

"How much did you hear?" Sasuke asked.

"Enough to know that the two of you are finally together! Like seriously! This long?" she said as she sat on the bed. Both boys sat up and looked at her.

"So...your ok with it?" Naruto asked

"Of course! You guys are my best friends! More like family really." she said.

"Yeah me too!" Naruto said as he pulled them both into a group hug. They looked at Sasuke

"What! You guys already know!" they all laughed. They talked about random things and Hinata even told them what happened after they had left. The boys were literally '0'

"OMG Hinata, what if our cover is broken!?" Naruto asked worriedly.

"Nah, you did a great job Hina. I would have beaten the bloody fucker."

"You guys, I have to leave, remember? Help me pack up."

"Where are you going to live now?" Hinata asked.

"Well, for now a hotel. But I need to start looking for an apartment for now."

"I haven't used the money we used at all during our ANBU missions, so that's what your using for rent the first time." Sasuke said

"I hardly used mine as well. So that goes for furniture and food and other things." Hinata said.

"You guys..." Naruto said as tears formed in his eyes. They were the greatest family he could ever ask for. "Hey, I was thinking" Naruto began

"You thinking never ends well" Hinata said.

"Sorry love, but she's right...for the other person that is." and they began to snicker at the many pranks they pulled together inside and outside the village.

"You guy!" he whined, " I know we do awesome pranks and all, but I was thinking if we should start saving money and sorta use it to build a house. A house where all of us live in, ain't that great?"

"That is a great idea. We could get a library with the rarest jutsus and history information, a pool, a movie room. Man, I have so many ideas!" Hinata exclaimed. They just laughed at her..

"That isn't such a bad idea." Sasuke said as he wrapped his arms around Naruto's waist from behind. "We could get it built and even have our own training ground."

"I could upgrade it with seals!" They began to excitedly to plan all their ideas. Soon it was time to go, so they each went their different ways. Sasuke and Hinata to their homes and Naruto, who was using a henge seal went to get a hotel room.

Back at the Uzumaki-Namikaze household, everyone had just left from the party. After Hinata's outburst, it sorta got awkward, so they decided to leave.

"Kaa-san, what Hinata said is wrong right? You didn't disown nii-san, right?" Naruko asked. She might show that she hates her brother, but she somewhat feels sorry for him, after thinking back to how his life was.

"N-No! We didn't! We didn't, right Minato?" Kushina asked.

"No, no we didn't. That was an old law. It isn't in effect at the moment." Minato said.

"Who cares! He's weak and a loser. He doesn't deserve a clan heir." Menma

"Yeah, but Kaa-san and Tou-san never trained him like us, so of course he wouldn't be strong like us." Naruko yelled back, remembering what Hinata said.

"Menma! How could you say that to your own brother!" Kushina yelled.

"I want you going straight to his room and apologize to him right now!" Minato exclaimed. He didn't know how spoiled his son was until now.

"Actually, I think we'll all go to his room and we talk everything out like a family." Kushina said as she started marching upstairs with the rest of them behind her. When they reached his door, they all stopped.

"Umm kaa-san, I dont think that I've ever entered Naruto's room before. Have you?" Naruko asked

"No. I dont think I've ever entered it before, Minato?" He just shook his head.

"Egh! Lets just go in. Its not a big deal!" Menma yelled and opened the door. When they entered, they were shocked at what they saw. The room was so bare, besides a stack of papers in one corner of the room and a journal on top of the tattered bed. Everyone, including Menma, was shocked at the sight. Both siblings had their rooms well decorated but his room had nothing. Kushina and Naruko went to the stack of papers in the corner, while Minato and Menma went to the journal. The first few pages had all the beatings that he received from the villagers and how they ignored him. They were going to continue reading when they heard a scream from the girls.

"Kushina, whats wrong?" Minato said as he came to her side. She just cried and it was Naruko who answered in a shaky voice

"Tou-san, all these papers are his medical files." Both males eye wided.

"Minato, what kind of parents are we?" Kushina wailed. Minato didnt know how to respond, so he just held her close.

"Tou-san, look at these enteries. It doesnt talk about the beatings that much." Menma said as they all moved to see.

January 23 (age 4)
Today was a great day because I made two new friends! They know about Kuruma but they see me as me, as Naruto! Isnt that great! I was beaten again today but I sorta got use to it. Oh well.

March 12
See today Menma and Naruko started training. I asked for training but was told they need it more. Seriously! What a lie! They're not the ones who are chased doen by angry mobs. But then again I will always be the one lying. Talk about great family support.

They all looked horrified at what they just read. Even Menma startes feeling bad for his brother, but he would never openly admit it.

"Kaa-san is this all true?" Naruko whispered.

"K-Keep reading" Minato said.

August 27 (age 6)
Its night time now. Today I asked again if my parents could train me, but they said when the academy starts. I dont see it fair, I mean all clan heirs are suppose to start their training early and by the looks of it, its not like I'm a heir to begin with. Sometimes I wonder if my parents even love? I hear them tucking in Naruko and Menma and its sad to say that I font remember ever being tucked in. Well thats all for now.

"No we do love you Naruto!" Kishina wailed. Minato had tears in his eyes and so did Naruko. Menma tried to hide it, but his eyes were watery.

October 10 (age 7)
Guess what? Its my birthday today! Althought people only know it as Menma and Naruko's birthday. My parents have never given me any presents before and they gave the other two so much. Arent they parents of the year (sarcastic). But for the past two birthdays I got presents from my friends so I feel happy and content. I mean its better than no present. Well happy birthday to me!

Sept 2 (age 8)
Today is the start of the academy. Its when my parents said that they would train me. But guess what? I'm a going to get trained? Nooooo. I'm not getting any training. Like seriously! I dont know why I even believed them. To them, I'm just a person whose not suppose to exist. Is it because they have Kuruma's chakra and I dont? Dont know, and I dont really care. I give up. But at least I'm still heir. Its like the one thing that makes me think my parents still love me. Thats something not even a cold hearted bastered would take away. Of to the academy I go!

They all just looked at one another. What they did today, their actions, they finally understood what they did. They literally said that they didnt care for him. They took away his status, inwardly saying they didnt love him.

"Theres an entery for tonight. Lets read that one." Menma said.

Oct 10 ( age 9)
HAHAHA the one thing that I thought they could never do, they did! My so called parents, althought from tonight they arent, actually disowned me in front of everyone, and was so happy about it! It sorta makes me believe that they also see me as a demon like the rest of the villagers. Oh well, I have to start packing right now, dont want my presence to 'taint' them. I remeber making a checklist of all the places I wanted to go to,and I might go there now
1) Suna
2) Taki
3) or anywhere that osnt in the village.
So long people! I honest bet that they will never know I'm gone anyways. Maybe ten years later or so they mysteriously stumble upon this room and think 'did someone live here?' Well guess what? They dont any more!

"Tou-san! Is he leaving the village!?" Menma exclaimed.

"Theres still time! We'll get him back!" Minato yelled as he flashed to the Hokage tower and gather his ANBU.

"Kaa-san its alright! If we talk to him then everything is going to alright, ok?" Naruko said trying to cheer up her sobbing mother.

"Pfft, I doubt it." Menma said, still reading some of the entries.

"Menma!" Naruko yelled.

"What! I'm telling you the truth! I read the 'good parts' in the journal. You should see how he describes his beatings."

"Is it really bad?" Kushina said looking at her son.

"Honestly kaa-san, I would have committed suicide along time ago." he said giving her the journal to read. It only made her throw it and cry harder.

Elsewhere
"I guess the wild goose chase begins." Naruto says, still in his henge, as he fell asleep on his bed.
