Akuma no Seji

Hello everyone happy to say that i'm finally writing my first Fanfic, just gonna say this once right now that i do not own Naruto or any of the rights to the franchise. But i did teach the guy how to be awesome…. Ok now that the stupid jokes are out of the way for good(no they're not, expect alot more) we can get on to the story, i've been an avid reader of Naruto Fanfics for the past couple years now starting back when i was still in the Navy. So here's my take on a fanfic, this will be very GREY, sometimes dark, Naruto will have the Jiongu-Earth Grudge Fear, he will be raised since the age of 5 BY Kakuzu and Hitomi(Fem. Hidan). He will mostly use Tetsu no Ryu, and Santoryu kenjutsu style, Fuinjutsu, MANY different forms of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu and some Genjutsu, needless to say that this guy is going to be a real badass.

I'm also going to be altering the timeline so that he's now 5 years older than people like the Konoha 11, Karui, Samui, Omoi etc,etc, so by the time he meets he'll be 17 years old and a Jounin while they're all 12 years old and Gennin. This means that Itachi will only be a couple of months older that Naruto by the time of the Wave Arc, and 21 years old after the 3 year time skip. By the time Naruto becomes a Jounin he will be as vice ridden as they come, just as perverted as Jaraiya, but he can get away with it because he know's how to reign himself in. I'm also going to be changing A LOT of things throughout the Narutoverse for this particular story, cause i feel that the idiot Kishimoto(am i saying it right?) messed up on a fuck ton of things all throughout the series. Hell i know for a fact that people with upbringings like Naruto's almost NEVER turn out that way, just take a look at the real world around you, you won't have to look very long for any examples of how people can turn out. They are in a NINJA VILLAGE, where the biggest and most important occupation there is is being a highly trained cold blooded killer, who can spy, sabotage, torture, and do all other kinds of things that most might consider war crimes.

So yeah i'm gonna be changing up a lot, with certain characters getting wake up calls, and also none of that baby the genin bullshit either, the moment they put on those headbands they became soldiers, doesn't matter if they're still kids or not in wartime. If people like Kakashi, Itachi and others have been doing C and B rank missions since the age of 6 where killing others is the norm, then there's no reason why all of the Jounin Senseis can't at least crack the whip on those kids during training and force them to learn something. There will also be many different pairings between characters, a few will even have harems for various reasons and circumstances, including gender swaps of a couple of the characters just because i can. This Fanfic is going to have a lot of long ass chapters, plenty of lemons, and the story is going to be long as well, I have no intention of this thing ending any time soon, so enjoy! :)

WARNING: THIS FIRST CHAPTER WILL CONTAIN THE TORTURE AND RAPE OF A CHILD, THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN ONCE IN THE STORY, I DO NOT CONDONE ANY THING EVEN RELATED TO THE SCENE IN QUESTION, THIS IS JUST FOR THE YOUR BENEFIT.

Chapter 1

It was October 13th, just two days after the Kyuubi no Kitsune had attacked the Hidden Village of Konoha, an elderly man in his late fifties was sitting in his office, after recently taking back the position of Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi was a powerful man, even in his age he had only just started to lose a step or two from when he was in his prime, nicknamed "The Professor" for his keen intellect and enormously vast knowledge of ninjutsu. And hailed as the "God of Shinobi" for his immense power and mastery over all of the shinobi arts, as a veteran of all three Shinobi Wars, two of them which he personally led Konoha to victory in as Hokage. Once fighting off the combined might of the other four kages: the Mizukage, the Tsuchikage, the Kazekage, and the Raikage in an all out battle royal, and winning. And now for the second time in his life, within the same week, he had never felt so powerless.

Flashback

When the Kyuubi attacked, it came without warning and there was no time possibly to prepare for it, when it touched down in the NorthWestern part of the village. All that people could do was scream and run for their lives as buildings were destroyed or knocked over, running and climbing over one another to get to safety. In the twelve minutes that it took for Konoha to respond and retaliate, the entire market district had been leveled, arriving on the scene with most of the shinobi forces Hiruzen was able to beat back the biju with his Adamantine Staff. As he stood there ready to face the kyuubi, he was soon joined by his old friend and rival Danzo Shimura, and two of his students Tsunade and Orochimaru. They began to bombard the Kyuubi with everything that they had, firing the most powerful combination attacks they could. The surrounding forces soon began to aid them by casting their own attacks combining them in order to deal maximum damage, as the shinobi sent wave after wave of large scale jutsus. As more and more dust was kicked up, the less they could see of the demon till eventually none of them could see it at all. As they waited for the dust to clear Hiruzen began issuing orders to the forces gathered, knowing that they wouldn't have long, and that they had only enraged the Kyuubi further. The shinobi forces moved quickly to prepare themselves, moving wounded away from the area and bringing whatever supplies they could to those fighting.

While this was going on Shikaku Nara, Jounin Commander and Head of the Nara Clan, appeared by Hiruzen's and Danzo's sides. "Sandaime-sama, not that i'm ungrateful or anything but where the hell is the Yondaime? We need him." he asked tiredly.

Looking over to his commander he quickly replied, "Minato-kun is dealing with the bastard who's responsible for all of this, when I left him he was facing off with the man who is controlling the Kyuubi. I don't know who he is or how he pulled any of this off, but rest assured he will have hell to pay." he said grinding out the last part, he already had to watch his wife die at the hands of some unknown shinobi, and was dealing with the Kyuubi now. He was not in a good mood, looking back towards the where the Kyuubi supposedly was he could just make out it's outline. Out of nowhere it let out a massive roar that immediately blew back everything around it clearing away the smoke and dust that had obscured it from view, and blowing away all of the trees and parts of the ground up into the air. As the shinobi picked themselves up off of the ground they looked to see that somehow all they had accomplished was angering the demon even further, as they looked on the Kyuubi began to charge.

Thinking quickly Danzo called out. "Hiruzen, Tsunade, Orochimaru! Bring out your boss summons now!" As one all four of them did three hand seals and with a little blood slammed their hands on the ground while calling out " Summoning Jutsu!" In a massive blast of smoke there appeared four incredibly large animal summons, a dark purple snake with horns, a white slug with blue streaks, a 9 ft. tall white furred monkey in shinobi attire, and finally an elephantine chimera creature.

Looking over to his summon Hiruzen quickly shouted, "Enma staff form quick!" "Right!". Not wasting any time the monkey king Enma quickly transformed into the Adamantine Staff, grabbing the staff a large eye appeared along the side so as to watch what happened next. As the summoners jumped onto their respective summons heads, the village watched as the titanic battle unfolded. Looking over to the gathered forces Hiruzen barked out his final orders before joining the fight, "All of you shore up the defenses as best you can! Earth specialists try to rebuild the village wall if possible, and get whatever non-combatants here to safety, we need to hold the Kyuubi at bay long enough for the Yondaime to arrive!"

One of the Jounin then spoke up, "Sandaime-sama! Where is the Yondaime, he should be here?!"

"Finishing off the bastard responsible for all of this, now you have your orders go!" And without another word Hiruzen jumped into the fray, landing next to Danzo on top of his summon's head, Baku. Looking over to one another they briefly shared an unspoken exchange of words which ended in them both doing various hand seals, both going for a combination that made them feared for decades. As the both of them were doing their hand seals Baku was already in action, tilting his head downwards he began to inhale and suck in vast amounts of air which he then aimed and shot out of his trunk at the Kyuubi, Danzo and Hiruzen having finished unleashed their Katon jutsus into Baku's attack.

"Katon: Searing Migraine!" the both roared, as the massive flames sped towards the Kyuubi, the flames easily made into an S Rank attack by Baku's winds, the other summons and their summoners got out of the way. The Kyuubi could only use it's tails to try to protect itself as the massive inferno hit it dead on, actually blasting the fox back a few miles from the village, upon contact with the ground it dug a massive trench as it skidded to a halt. After releasing the jutsu the others did not let up as the kyuubi began to get back up, although dazed, if it was mad before then it was pissed off now. Getting back up the Kyuubi opened up its maw and began to gather vast amounts of blue and black energy into it's mouth, however it was immediately set upon by Manda who had sprung from the ground and curled around the Kyuubi's tails. With it's tails effectively pinned to the ground by Manda, Katsuyu then landed on top of the Kyuubi while Baku then slammed into the Kyuubi's front, all of them trying to stop it from letting off it's next attack.

This wasn't enough to stop the Kyuubi from attempting to fire off an Imari(Tailed Beast Ball) at the village though, and it would have destroyed Konoha if not for Danzo acting when he did.

Going through several hand seals while Baku blasted wind into the atmosphere, he called out " Fuuton: Divine Wrath of the Wind God!". As the Imari hurtled towards the village it was stopped halfway by a F5 Tornado that came crashing down on top of it, effectively robbing the vile jutsu of its momentum for now. Thinking quickly Danzo jumped onto the Kyuubi's head calling out " Quickly everyone get out of here now!". Forming a hand seal and charging the last of his chakra, he roared out as he forced his jutsu to carry the Imari up into the atmosphere, those watching could track where it was going by the unholy light it gave off as it moved right above where the Kyuubi was.

Seeing what it was that Danzo was about to do the others and their summons quickly jumped off of the Kyuubi and fled a safe distance, not before Danzo was able to look towards Hiruzen and leave some parting words. "Your buying the drinks when you get to heaven monkey-baka, I'll tell Biwako about your porn stash in the meantime though." Winking as he blasted Hiruzen off of Baku's head and dispersed his summon, he then forced the Imari to come crashing down on the Kyuubi from above.

Having been caught by Tsunade who landed on her Slug summon's head, Hiruzen desperately extended his Adamantine Staff, doing whatever he could to save Danzo from his suicide jutsu. An arm belonging to Enma grew out of the side of the large staff as its end raced to where Danzo was, grabbing the older man by his left shoulder the staff then retracted just as the Imari came crashing down on the Kyuubi's back.

A timely intervention that cost him his right arm being permanently crippled, but at least Hiruzen was able to save his old friend. It still gave the Konoha forces the breathing room they needed to regroup their forces and locate the Yondaime Hokage who had yet to show up, which was something that was starting to worry Hiruzen as he knew how strong his successor was. But the Kyuubi had other plans it seemed. As it began to charge up and fire another Imari, only for the Yondaime to appear in a yellow flash on top of a giant toad, and teleport the blast away causing the everyone to cheer. Upon a closer inspection of Hiruzen and the others though, they could see that he was not in good shape, as Hiruzen and the others shunshinned to the top of his head, Tsunade immediately began to try to restore some of his wounds while Katsuyu worked on Danzo not far away.

"Dammit Minato just what the fuck happened to you?! If I didn't know better I'd say you just spent a few hours being my punching bag!" said Tsunade as she quickly got to work, her being a legend with Medical jutsu even she was having some difficulty with a few of Minato's injuries.

"Long(gasp)...story….."said a bloodied Minato. As Tsunade tried to heal him as fast as she could Minato was busy throwing his signature Tri-bladed kunai into a what could only be described as a grid, with several of his kunai all running parallel to the village wall to his left and right.

"Minato! If you're going to do something then it better be quick, 'cause that thing's about to fire another one off!" Hiruzen yelled

"I know just hold on, I already set everything up before i arrived. That damn bastard kept me tied up this whole time, whoever he is he escaped before I could finish him off. He used some form of a Jikukan Jutsu to escape, it could even make him intangible!" as Minato finished now almost completely healed, Kyuubi fired off another Imari. As it rocketed towards the village Minato threw another Kunai into the air in front of it, forming a hand sign he called out "Hijutsu: Hiraishin Triangulate!". In another flash of light the Imari disappeared only to appear and explode several miles off in the distance, looking to those gathered he then spoke.

"Now I'm going to take the Kyuubi away from the- OH SHIT!" before he could say anything else he was interrupted as a smaller but much faster Imari almost slammed into them all. Going on pure instinct and adrenaline he activated his jutsu and teleported the attack away from them, as they heard the attack go off in the distance they all looked to see the Kyuubi begin to fire multiple Imari's in rapid succession at different parts of the village wall. As the attacks came Minato began to move using his Hiraishin Jutsu he flashed in front of the closest incoming Imari. Using the grid of Hiraishin Kunai he created earlier he used his 'Hiraishin Triangulate' to safely teleport it miles away and then began to flash from one point to the next all along the village wall. As each Imari was about to hit Minto would flash in front of it and make it disappear in almost the same instance, before flashing away to deal with another one in the same fashion. By the time the assault had ceased not a single attack had struck the village or even made it to the wall surrounding it, having been sent elsewhere via Hiraishin.

As the others looked towards Minato he simply smiled towards them sadly before speaking to them, "Look after my son you old monkey, and bury me with my Kushi-hime….goodbye." Without another word he flashed to the top of the Kyuubi's head, and in another flash they were both gone. As Hiruzen and a now stabilized Danzo looked onward, they could just make out where Minato had taken the Kyuubi….right back to the area that Kushina had been giving birth in.

End of Flashback

By the time they even got within five miles of the battle they could see the Kyuubi shrinking as it was being sealed away, when Hiruzen and Danzo arrived with what few ANBU they could grab, they found the Yondaime Minato Namikaze dead with his wife Kushina Uzumaki curled up into his chest with their newborn infant son crying in between them. Beckoning them over, she lasted long enough to whisper something into his ear before naming her son and pressing something into his hand. He could still see the look of love in her eyes for her baby even in death.

As he walked through the halls of the Hokage Tower flanked by his two ANBU, he looked down at the little bundle in his arms and sighed, knowing that this next part was probably going to end in disaster. Stopping in front of a large set of double doors he stops to straighten himself up before entering into a very large semi circular room, inside he sat in his chair at the center of it where he could see all of the councilmembers. All of whom were present, starting from the left there were the Civilian Council who were in charge of the day to day inner workings of the village, but were known for being notoriously greedy and power hungry, and from the middle and ending on the left was the Shinobi Council. Placing the baby down in front of him he gave a brief nod to Danzo, whose entire body was bandaged up making him look like a mummy, before he addressed the others in the room.

"As you are all aware of the Kyuubi attacking the village and being repelled back, and that it was our Yondaime who brought the beast away from the village to safely battle it…. I will simply skip to what you all don't know. When I arrived on scene with Danzo and the ANBU we discovered the Minato was dead having sacrificed his life to seal away the Kyuubi into this child. The child's name is Naruto Uzumaki and he is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, his mother was Kushina Uzumaki the previous Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, but unfortunately died in childbirth so Naruto will be a ward of the village. When Kushina was giving birth it weakened the seal that held the Kyuubi, enough so that the Kyuubi was able to break free, such is the danger of all female Jinchuuriki." he said, giving those gathered some time to digest what it was he was telling them.

Pressing forward he continued, "This is to be an SS Rank village secret so as to protect the child, it was Minato's wish that this boy be seen as a hero for the burden that has been forced upon him. As he is now he will never have a normal life of any sort, you all know how difficult and harsh the lives of most Jinchuuriki can be, most become bloodthirsty madmen who just want to watch the world burn. Some have even given into the demons inside them and broken their seals, releasing their Biju and killing themselves in the process, it is for those reasons that this is never to be spoken of ever again. If it were to get out to the public right now or anytime soon then my ANBU and regular shinobi would be held up day and night, just trying to restore order to the village. And even after everyone has calmed down he would be ostracized and shunned, with enough abuse i fear he would grow up to hate this village. I want him to grow up and love this village, I want him to grow up loyal to this village, and to want to protect it, it would not do for any of us to have an unstable and spiteful Jinchuriki among us. Otherwise we risk having to battle the Kyuubi again, and I don't think we would survive another battle, now if there are any of you who have questions then now is the time to speak."

After a few moments of waiting the entire room was filled with screams from the entire Civilian Council and some of the Shinobi Council as well, "Kill the demon brat!" "Finish what the Yondaime started!" "Kill the monster while it's weak!". As Hiruzen and most of the Shinobi Council began restoring order among the hysterical men and women, everyone failed to notice one of the Civilian Councilmen inching towards the Hokage's desk where Naruto lay.

Rochi Haruno was one of the more prominent councilmen in the village. His clan was well known for being shrewd traders and a few of them in the past had even been splendid shinobi. Which was why he and his clan ran the day to day affairs of the entire market district and trading that the village conducted, even contributing half of the yearly funds for the Shinobi Academy budget. While he sat quietly in his chair listening to the Hokage speak all he could think about was how he watched half of his family burn to death in what was once his home, and how his own wife was crushed under the paw of the Kyuubi itself. Now he only had the remnants of his clan, his daughter Mebuki and her husband Wasupu, and now this chance for revenge, he almost laughed when everyone else started screaming and drawing attention. It was too easy for the retired Jounin now councilman to get across the room during all the ruckus, even when the Hokage saw what was about to happen there was nothing he could do but deflect his tanto away from the demon's heart and into it's stomach….

BOOM!

When the light finally dimmed down from the explosion was say that there was a violent red chakra swirling around the newborn Naruto, while on the ground lay the charred corpse of what was Rochi Haruno. But what was most shocking were the changes that were happening to Naruto as his blonde hair became a dark blood red, while his regular ears slowly elongated and moved closer to top of his head becoming fox ears, similar to the Kyuubi. The most drastic change of all was the small fluffy blood red tail with a black tip that grew and wrapped around the now crying newborn, the changes only took minutes to complete before the red chakra receded back into the seal. While all of the shinobi in the room were still trying to dispel what they believed to be a powerful genjutsu, Hiruzen could only cry knowing now that there was no chance for Naruto now.

Time skip - Five years - 15 miles outside of Konoha

It was the 10th of October and the fifth anniversary of the Kyuubi Attack, for a few years it was simply a day of mourning and reconciliation for those who survived. This year however would be the first time that the village would be holding a festival to instead celebrate the villages triumph of the Kyuubi, to celebrate the memory of the brave heroes who died in defense of Konoha, and most importantly to celebrate the man who defeated the demon. However some people had different ideas on how to celebrate this night, while the festival was in full swing throughout the village, a strange red haired little boy was running for his life through the woods just outside of the village. It was just after nine o'clock when all of the children had been put to bed an hour ago, when the Headmistress of the orphanage had dragged him out of his bed and thrown him outside into the street. As Naruto shook his sleepy head to regain his bearings he saw that he was surrounded by lots of angry adults, many of whom had weapons in their hands. He didn't have time to even speak before he was grabbed by his hair and yanked upwards, the last thing he saw before blacking out was a pair of red glowing eyes with a weird design. When he woke up he quickly looked around to see the same angry adults only this time they were all somewhere in the woods, his attention immediately locked onto what appeared to be the grownups' leader who had his sword drawn and was walking towards him. Grabbing the child by the ears and lifting him up into the air he then began to hit him in the face with the pommel of his katana, before finally throwing him onto the ground again.

"Tch, well it looks like the demon does bleed after all," the man spoke " we're finally going to finish what the Yondaime couldn't and put you down for good you little beast!" He sad before kicking the child in the stomach. "But first we're all going to have some fun with you, soooo here's what's going to happen, we're all going to give you a ten minute head start and you're going to run as fast as you can. And if you somehow manage to get away the you live, if not….." He chuckled " Then we kill you! Now start running, give us something to chase!"

Not knowing what else to do Naruto did the only thing he could do, he ran as far and as fast as his little legs could carry him, not even caring for searing pain in his ribs, the fear having overridden most of it. Quickly losing track of time, he decided to zigzag through the trees mimicking a cat that he saw once that was being chased, as he ran he suddenly heard the hoots and screams as the mob. Signaling to him that he was out of time and needed to run faster, which somehow he did making everything around him seem like a blur till he ran into a low hanging tree branch. Now dizzy and reeling from the pain of a bleeding forehead, Naruto stumbled back onto his feet as he tried to run again,

"OVER HERE!"

Whipping around suddenly no longer dizzy he saw a young ninja wearing one of those weird green jackets the older men wore preparing to throw a bunch of shuriken. Not even thinking twice he ran as hard as he could away from the ninja zigzagging through the trees, till he felt something hit him in the back, the pain so intense he saw pure white as he stumbled into a clearing by a river and collapsed. As he lied there hearing the laughter and yells of the mob get closer, he couldn't help but think "Why, why is this happening to me, was i a bad boy? What did I do!?".

As he looked over he saw the leader with the glowing red eyes and the young ninja from before talking. "Excellent work Hayate! The little bastard surprised us all with that chase though, never thought he'd channel chakra to his legs like that. Must have done it on instinct."

"Right Fugaku-sama, i suppose i should thank the little shit for giving me a moving target to hit. More fun that way, now howabout we get down to the main event eh?"

The now identified Fugaku replied. "Ha! I like your enthusiasm boy, but why rush when we've got all night to enjoy or time with him? Since you are the one that caught him, I think it's only fair that you should be the one to start us all off." A sadistic smirk passed over the newly minted Chunin's face, "With pleasure sir."

The young man then began to wail on the little boy covering his body in bruises before taking out a kunai and slowly dragging its edge down one of Naruto's little arms, after hearing his screams for a few moments he began again on the other arm. Eventually the rest of the mob began taking turns torturing the boy breaking his bones, shaving off his skin, destroying his ribs, even removing his feet. Till their leader Fugaku decided to step in, after ripping off what was left of the boys tattered clothes and unbuckling his pants the others soon caught onto what he was going to do. Deciding that it was a fitting treatment for the demon brat the others began to follow suit, and waited for their leader to finish with the brat. Before Naruto even knew what was happening he was yanked up by his ears into a kneeling position on his knees, he gained just enough coherence to open his eyes before his mouth and throat were stretched painfully wide to accommodate something that tasted disgusting. Before he could even try to protest whatever it was was withdrawn almost to his lips before being slammed back down his throat again, it kept up this brutal fast pace for what felt like an eternity, before finally something as thick as syrup was shot down his throat. Finally being able to breath Naruto coughed and hacked before vomiting all over the grass in front of him, looking up he saw what it was that had been forced into his mouth. To his horror he noticed that the rest of the mob, some 30 or so men were all either half naked or entirely nude as a hand grabbed him by his hair and pushed him face first into the grass. Fugaku then looked up to the others surrounding him "Alright boys get in line!", the pain that shot through Naruto as Fugaku penetrated him was so severe it caused his mind to go blank. It did nothing to keep him from being aware of everything that happened though as he felt everything, while the mob were busy taking turns with their victim none of them were aware of the impending doom that was making its way towards them.

Meanwhile in another part of the forest

"Jashin dammit Kakuzu! Why the fuck are we going through this damn forest anyway!? The only thing we've come across is dirt, trees, grass, dirt, trees, grass and…. IS THAT THE SAME RIVER WE PASSED AN HOUR AGO!?" Screamed an admittedly beautiful woman with purple eyes. The woman in question was 5'10" with long silver white hair pulled back into a ponytail, she wore black cargo combat pants that ended half way down her shins, with high heeled shinobi sandals and only bandages to cover her large bust. Over all of this she wore a black trench coat with a red cloud design over it with a large triple bladed red scythe slung over her back, if one were to look carefully they would see her slashed headband of Yukigakure, worn around her neck and a small pendant in the shape of a triangle within a circle.

Her partner now identified as Kakuzu could only roll his eyes as he knew the best thing he could do was to just ignore his new partner's antics, having already explained why they were out in this part of the woods to begin with simply kept walking. Kakuzu was a tall man of 6'6" and possessed a very powerful build, wearing the same type of trench coat, he also wore black ANBU cargo pants with a black sleeveless shirt. With a black mask covering the bottom half of his face and a white hood to cover his hair, over which sat his slashed Takigakure headband. He was still considering whether or not he should try to kill his partner but unfortunately he knew it wouldn't stop her from annoying him, he'd already cut her head off twice for Kami's sakes! Just his luck to get the one immortal in the world for a partner who not only is an expert at pissing him off, but won't shut the fuck up!

"Shut up Hitome and keep walking, I already told you that it was either this or going all the way around the Land of Fire just to get to River Country. Besides we're not even 40 miles away from Konoha and don't feel like dealing with any Leaf Shinobi right now, because you couldn't be quiet. So for the last time shut your mouth!"

"Up yours you half assed pin up doll! I don't need to listen to you, and-" before she could continue her colorful rant, Kakuzu's hand shot out extended on what appeared to be very thick black threads and had clamped itself around her mouth. Effectively silencing her from 11' feet away.

"Be quiet and listen" he whispered, "we're not alone out here." Deciding to do as he said if only to satisfy her curiosity, she listened along with him and slowly but surely they were able to hear the shouts of men coming from their seven o'clock. Moving silently they followed the shouts to their source where they came upon a very peculiar site, there appeared to be a large group of naked men in a clearing by large river just opposite of them. They all seemed to be cheering on those who were in the middle of the group whom the two couldn't see thanks to the crowd, one thing they did notice was that most of them were shinobi from the Leaf.

"Well this is certainly unexpected…." Kakuzu said, still stunned at what he was seeing.

"You're telling me, hell there's even some Hyugas and Uchihas over there as well, hmmm I'm almost tempted to join them." Hitome giggled perversely as a little bit of blood dripped from her nose.

"Well we're leaving, i need to go gouge my eyes out, and then we need to get back on track." Kakuzu replied rolling his eyes, wanting more than anything to just forget that he walked in on what appeared to be a massive gay orgy.

As the two both turned to leave the stopped hearing one of the men across the river yell to whoever was in the center of their gathering, "That's right, show that little brat who's boss Fugaku-sama!".

This made the two Akatsuki freeze altogether for multiple reasons, the first being that they both recognized the name Fugaku, a name that belonged to the head of the famous Uchiha clan. The fact that they were able to pick out a few Chunin and Jounin level Uchihas and Hyugas only led credence that theory, and second because of the 'little brat' comment. As they slowly turned around to confirm their suspicions as to what they were really witnessing, a gap opened up amongst the throng of men which showed none other than Fugaku Uchiha, Head of the prestigious Uchiha Clan, had his pants down around his knees as he mercilessly fucked what appeared to be a small boy. No older than five maybe six years old while some young man, in only an unzipped Chunin flak jacket was pistoning his erect dick as hard into the little boys mouth as he could. Now Kakuzu and Hitomi were by no means saints, hell they weren't even good people, but even they had a strict list of lines they would never cross.

For Kakuzu he could only feel complete disgust and rage over what he was witnessing, he had done some horrible things in his lifetime, slaughtering people,electrocuting others, ripping the beating hearts or other organs out of still barely living enemies, or just simply setting others on fire. But never in his 71 years did he ever so much as harm a child let alone this, looking over to his partner he could see that she was of the same mind which was still somewhat surprising given her religion.

"Hey Hitome," he said quickly getting her attention. " What do you say we put these assholes in the dirt?" His partner for once was in agreement with him.

"Oh hell yeah, Lord Jashin may desire slaughter of all life, but even he frowns upon harming children, and he even despises rape more than life." Came the quick reply, both knowing what they needed to do the simply dashed across the river with their respective weapons in hand.

Back in the clearing

The men gathered couldn't believe how lucky they were tonight, not only was the Hokage out of the village on official with the Daimyo at the capitol, but they were actually able to sneak the Kyuubi brat out of the village! They had a blast chasing the little shit through the woods which turned out to last alot longer than any of them had expected, he even outran some of the Jounins. But after finally catching him they had all taken their own pound of flesh out of the demon, before their leader Fugaku had a brilliant idea when he started to skull fuck the demon. Ha! Genius, and so they had all spent the last 5 hours taking turns with it, hell by this time they had all used him at least 4 times by now. As on of the men closest to the river took a swig of some saki he had, he noticed the time read just after 3 am. Figuring he should go home soon so that way his wife wouldn't get suspicious, he still needed to drop his son off at school tomorrow after all. This was the last thought that went through his head as stoney dark hand punched its' way through where his heart should be, he was dead before he even hit the ground.

It was complete pandamonium as Hitome and Kakuzu cut their way through the men gathered there, by the time everyone realised they were under attack half of them were already dead while the rest tried to defend themselves. The keyword was tried, as Fugaku was able to react once the killing commenced he had already gotten his pants up and ran leaving the rest to their fates, not wanting to have to explain anything should this get out. The young Chunin Hayate, who had been working on his seventh blowjob from the monster was not so lucky as he ended up with an extendable pike pinning him through his shoulder to a tree behind him. Courtesy of one seriously enraged Hitome, who then decided to finish up the slaughter by channeling some Fuuton chakra into her scythe and swung it around herself by the cable that it was attached to. The other 11 men who were still alive at this point were mowed down by the scythe, being reduced to fist sized chunks that covered the entire clearing, no one except Fugaku had escaped, but luckily the had one left that they could "question".

Kakuzu for the most part couldn't believe how stress and anger relieving that was, absolutely therapeutic in his book. All though a small part of him couldn't help but wonder when was the last time that he had actually stuck his neck out for someone else, still though who knew a little wanton slaughter could feel this good. "Hmmm, maybe Hitome has the right idea about killing people, if it can feel this satisfying." He idly thought to himself as he looked over to his partner who was staring at the boy on the ground, following her line of sight he saw something that made him stop in his tracks. The boy in question was a sight to see, not because he was covered in bodily fluids which they knew to expect given his situation, it was a combination of several things. For one it was clear that this boy had been tortured mercilessly, there were dozens of cuts littering his body, his skin had been burned in some places, there were actual chunks of his scrawny flesh missing from his legs including both of his legs severed, cut off under each knee. Someone had even cut his arms off at the forearm just a little south of his elbows, but what really caught their attention was the fact that this boy could not possibly be human at all. For one he had a tail sticking out of his lower back that had blood red fur with a black tip, his hair and eyes were the same blood red as his tail, however his eyes were also slitted like that of a predator or a demon. He had small but very noticeable fangs, and what appeared to be 'fox ears' attached to the back top his head, rather long ones whose short fur matched the color of his hair. The final thing that they both noticed was the glowing Fuinjutsu seal on the boy's stomach, which almost seemed to be pulsing as if it was doing everything it could to keep the boy alive.

"K...Kakuzu….. I'm not the only one seeing this right?" asked a stunned Hitome.

"No…. you're not…..I'll be damned, it's a Hanyou. Doesn't appear to have much longer though, loathe as I am to say this, but it's probably best if we put him out of his misery and go."

"WHAT!?"

"Unless you can think of a way for us to save the gaki he's going to die, just look at him, hmmmm but that seal on his stomach is interesting… Let's take a closer look at him." sad Kakuzu walking over to inspect the strange boy, already growing suspicious of the child's origins.

"Tch, fine…. But the least we can do is make him comfortable." said a very unhappy Hitome. Not only was she upset over the fact that something like this had happened at all to a child, which was pulling at her motherly instincts. But in her religion those who were half demons were to be celebrated, demons and their half-blooded cousins Hanyous are actually loved by Jashin. It was even in their Tenents of Damnation to aid and protect them, especially the Bijus and whatever offspring they have .

As they approached the him the were stopped by the half naked chunin that was still nailed to the tree near by, "Get away from him, the little demon deserves to die!" he spat out with pure venom. This and the choice words the man had used got the attention of of both Akatsuki as they made their way towards the boy, except for Hitome who made a quick detour towards the Chunin to punch him in the face.

As Kakuzu was examining the boy's body he couldn't help but marvel at the sheer will to live that this boy seemed to possess, it put most ANBU to shame, even reminding him of himself once upon a time. Back when he was still a loyal shinobi of that village, back before he had the jiongu after he had failed in a mission that would change his life. Snapping out of his little lapse of nostalgia he began to inspect the boy's seal, taking into account the child's relative age, where they were, and not only the treatment he had suffered but most importantly HOW the Chunin had spoken about the boy. Coming to the conclusion that this boy just had to be a Jinchuuriki, he figured the child must house the Kyuubi which everyone knew had attacked Konoha 5 years earlier.

Standing up he addressed the Chunin who was in the middle of taking what could only be described as an epic beating, "HEY! Chunin! What is your name?" his voice causing Hitome her assault, wanting some answers herself.

"*Gasp* Huh…..I...I'm called H-Hayate…..G….G-Gekko" rasped the beaten chunin.

"Good I've heard of you, supposed to be a fast rising Leaf shinobi with skills recognized by even the Hokage and said to have one of the most powerful Suiton affinities since the Nindaime Hokage Tobirama Senju. First of all why the fuck did you and these assholes do this to him, and second of all what is he?"

"And what's his name too!?" Hitome chimed in as she tried to do what she could for Naruto.

"His name's…..N...N-Naruto Uzumaki… and he's a DEMON!" Hayate answered, screaming out the last part. "The Yondaime sealed the Kyuubi into him on the day of the attack, we had all waited for years for the Hokage to leave so that way we could have our revenge on the little demon spawn. Haha, I suppose it's a good thing Kushina-sensei died from childbirth, this way she never has to see just how much of a monster her son has become." he finished cackling with glee, proud of what he had done.

It was at this moment that the entire area was flooded with an unholy Killing Intent as Hitome now stalked towards the downed chunin ready to rip him to shreds, Kakuzu had other plans however. Grabbing onto her shoulder he spun her around, forcing her to look up at him so he could speak without worrying about her ruining the plan that was being pieced together in his head.

"No Hitome, i've got a better idea." he said gaining a slightly confused look from the woman. Sighing he simply walked over to Hayate and ripped the spike out of his shoulder causing him to fall to the ground, tossing the spike over his shoulder to Hitome he dragged the man till he was lying right alongside Naruto. After checking the boy's pulse to make sure he was just unconscious and not dead, he prepared to do something that he honestly never thought he would ever do. "Kinjutsu- Jiongu!" he called out while raising his left arm over their bodies, as what looked like thousands upon thousands of thick black threads burst from his forearm and covered the most of the two prone individuals. Hayate soon began to scream as he felt the threads burrow and dig their way into his chest as if trying to grab onto something, he soon figured out what was about to happen as he felt a sharp pain in his heart as the threads wrapped around it. As the pain increased he could feel all of his chakra recede into his heart, his screaming only intensifying before his heart was violently ripped out of his chest, silencing him forever. Kakuzu was not done however as he took the heart that was in the center of a mass of pulsing black threads and began to give it to Naruto, placing it on top of his belly he allowed the Jiongu to do it's job. Naruto's body jerked and writhed silently on the ground as countless threads made their way through his body, becoming one with it, strengthening it, improving it, and most importantly healing it.

For herself Hitome could only watch as in silent amazement as the Jiongu had almost completely integrated with Naruto's body, reattaching his limbs, stitching up his many scars, even soaking up most of his blood from the ground back into his body. She might not like Kakuzu, she could easily admit that she hates him for the most part, but that did nothing to keep her from respecting him for his skill and experience. Case and point being what she was watching unfold in front of her right now, she may hate the greedy bastard but dammit he could be impressive as hell when he wants to be.

"Hmm we're going to have to inform Pein about this new development at some point, preferably after we've reached the safe house in River Country. He should stabilize by then but there's not much point in trying to tell him now while we still need to get out of here, who would have thought we'd get the Kyuubi Jinchuriki this easily?" As Kakuzu was thinking this he looked up and noticed that the moon was well past its zenith and it was just starting to get around 0530, they'd need to haul ass if they wanted to make a clean getaway.

Looking over to Hitome he whistled to get her attention as she was busy rooting through the dead Hayate's belongings, "Hitome we're leaving and we're taking the kid, we'll inform Pein that we managed to nab the Kyuubi Jinchuriki after we've made it to the safe house in River County. Prepare to move out."

"Ha! Way ahead of you Kakuzu, just about done here anyways, this idiot had some pretty good jutsu scrolls on him, i've got one for Shadow Clone Jutsu, Chameleon Jutsu, some Suiton jutsu, wow this guy even had a scroll on a Kenjutsu style. Does the Tetsu no Ryu sword style mean anything to you?" she asked as she stuffed the scrolls into the inside pockets of her coat.

"Yeah a little." answered Kakuzu as he through the unconscious boy over his shoulder. "Its one of the most famous styles from Iron Country, supposedly the samurai leader Mifune taught it to the White Fang of Konoha…. I never got any confirmation but those were the rumors. Now let's go before we're spotted, I want to be as far away as possible by the time the search parties arrive." And with that they took off with their new charge in tow.

Several hours later with the Hokage

It had been an incredibly productive trip for the aged shinobi, he was able to convince the Daimyo to take Naruto under his personal protection and guidance where he would receive the best education and training possible. The Daimyo had always been a very practical and reasonable man whom Hiruzen had always gotten along with, the fact that they were practically cut from the same cloth helped a bunch too. And the Daimyo agreeing that the boy would be much safer in his care then in Konoha, especially given how most of the villagers reacted to and treated Naruto, now that's not to say anything had happened, yet. But the fact still remained that eventually somebody was bound to snap and it'd be better off for everyone if Naruto was away from the village for a few years, one less thing to worry about what with the strange behavior coming from the Uchiha Clan recently. As Hiruzen was walking down the main street to the Hokage Tower being greeted by and greeting passersby, he decided to take a detour to the orphanage so he could check up on Naruto and give him the good news. Honestly he was just too excited to wait any longer than necessary to tell him, the furry little ball of energy always lit up whenever he visited and he couldn't wait to see Naruto's reaction. Ha! The boy would probably be dancing on the ceiling after hearing the good news, and with those happy thoughts in mind he stopped at a local ramen stand owned by the Ichirakus to pick up some to-go ramen. Knowing just how addicted the boy was to ramen he figured why not go the extra mile for him today, he'd always had great respect for the Ichirakus' they were some of the few who had befriended Naruto, let alone treated him right. As he entered the orphanage the first thing he noticed was the way the receptionist had immediately froze in place as he made his way to her, looking like a kid caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Especially seeing how none of the staff here had ever reacted this way to his presence before, even if it was unannounced, he watched as he saw an entire multitude of emotions he knew all too well play out on her young face.

"Jihi-chan what's wrong? What's happened?" he asked as a cold pit of fear started to take hold in his stomach. "Please let everything be alright…" he thought desperately as he listened to the now sobbing woman.

"I-I'm sorry Hokage-sama…..b-b-but Naruto's gone. I think someone took h-him last night…*hic* during the festival b-but I just don't know!" said a now sobbing Jihi, a woman who Hiruzen had seen spoil and nurture Naruto rotten plenty of times.

As the words came down on Hiruzen with the force of sledgehammers a new feeling started to boil up from the pit of his stomach, a feeling of pure, unrivaled rage. As he struggled not to unleash his KI in the middle of an orphanage it still managed to leak through, as birds fell from the sky and many small rodents and critters throughout the entire village dropped dead.

Steeling himself as best he could, "Show me, NOW." he gritted out, as the young woman saw in front of her the true 'God of Shinobi' she all but jumped to show him Naruto's cot. When they reached it they found that the cot was a mess as if Naruto had been ripped out of it in his sleep, quickly summoning his personal ANBU he gave them quick orders to round up any and all Jounin and ANBU shinobi for a priority one emergency. As the ANBU left to carry out their orders Hiruzen turned to Jihi and ordered her to follow him, without bothering to see if she would comply he stormed off in the direction of the orphanage's Headmistress with Jihi following behind him.

The door to the Headmistress's office was blown off its hinges as Hiruzen stormed in and pulled her across her desk by the throat, lifting her into the air with one hand easily, he promptly threw her across the room into one of the walls.

"Hello Geishi-san I was just in the neighborhood when i decided to stop by and check up on Naruto, imagine my surprise when I learned from Jihi-chan that apparently he had been abducted the last night. Now i think to myself, just who could possibly do that seeing how only you and I have the keys to this building, and not even my ANBU can break in thanks to the security seals. The only conclusion I could come up with was that someone must have either let somebody in, or simply threw Naruto out into the streets!" Hiruzen yelled at the end, as a crowd of children started to form in the hallway outside.

"The ONLY reasons why I'm not killing you right now is because there are children present, and i still need you pumped for information…..besides death is too good for you." he finished as he knocked her out cold. Turning around he addressed the children gathering around,"All of you go to your rooms and remain inside for today, and for now Jihi-chan here is in charge, listen to her or you answer to me."

And with that he stormed out of the orphanage while he dragged an unconscious Geishi-san behind him, taking care to make her head hit every possible surface on the way out. Once outside he saw a growing number of at least +70 shinobi gathered awaiting orders, informing them of the situation he ordered them to comb the village and the surrounding lands of the village in search of Naruto. And for one of them to take the former Headmistress of the orphanage to the T&I department for questioning, by the time he had reached his office in the Hokage Tower and sat down he had all but collapsed. Knowing full well that this was going to be a long day he opened his drawer and took out a bottle of the most expensive and powerful saki in the elemental nations, and downed the entire bottle.

The next morning

As the door to the Hokage's office opened Danzo Shimura, Koharu Utatane, and Mitokado Hamura saw something they truly weren't expecting. The sight that greeted them was a passed out Hiruzen who was face down in his desk snoring out loud with an empty bottle of Mt. Myoboku Sake was still clutched in his hand. Sighing Danzo then said something he hadn't called out since the Second Shinobi War, "Hey is that Biwako naked!?" he called out loudly, causing Hiruzen to jump up in his seat while looking around. A small chuckle escaped his and the others' lips as the entered and shut the door, having enjoyed their brief laugh their Hokage's expense.

Hiruzen for the most part was stuck trying to work out which was worse, his hangover, the fact that he was caught in this state, or the fact that that old trick could still work on him. Then next thing that went through his mind was whether or not he should kill Danzo for it, but he'd get back to that one later, he had shit to do.

"Not a word of this to anyone." he said as he got up and went to the personal bathroom in his office to wash his face and brush his teeth, "So what have they found out?" he called to them.

Hamura then took this time to answer " Well they were able to confirm thanks to some of the shinobi from the Inuzuka and Hyuga clans that young Naruto wasn't in the village within three hours, they then began combing the surrounding lands and forests. Tsume Inuzuka-san and her squad eventually picked up a trail some time after midnight, after regrouping with the company led by Hiashi they followed the trail for a few hours. The trail stopped cold at a little clearing NorthWest of the village along the edge of the Naraka River, some 38 miles away from here where they discovered a bloodbath."

This stopped Hiruzen cold, "Please….. Oh Kami no…" "And?" he asked trying to keep himself together, and barely succeeding.

Utatane sighed deciding to just spit it out, " They found 34 men who were naked, hacked to pieces, and covered in both blood and semen. They confirmed them all to be shinobi from our own village, some were from the Uchiha and Hyuuga clans, even a couple from the Yamanaka clan were there. The majority however were all general Chunins and Jounins, we just got the lab results back confirming all of their identities through blood analysis. All of them were shinobi who had lost loved ones during the Kyuubi Attack, we also found plenty of Naruto's blood as well, it is believed that….. they tortured him and….." she paused, not really being able to say the rest.

"Naruto was raped Hiruzen," finished Danzo, preferring to just get it over with. "The evidence from all of the semen samples that they found at the scene highly suggests that they all took turns, and we even found evidence of another man who raped him. Unfortunately this one was smart and used some kind of jutsu that not only made his semen sterile, but also warps his semen beyond recognition making it impossible to figure out his identity. It was also discovered that this mystery man was not among the deceased nor did he leave any blood around, meaning he escaped the carnage without a scratch." He intoned emotionlessly, silently thankful in his ability to control all of his emotions.

The Hokage slumped into his chair as all of the breath and energy was just taken out of him, he didn't, no he couldn't believe it. And now he was missing! As he mentally ranted to himself trying to come to terms with this new information, something clicked in his head that caused his eyes to slowly widen in realization. None of them had mentioned finding Naruto's body, not to mention the fact that there was no way he could have killed all those shinobi by himself, he's only 5 years old for Kami's sake! Quickly schooling his features and getting better control of himself, he silently motioned for them to continue, whilst hoping for some good news.

Koharu then picked it up from there. " With a joint effort between Tsume Inuzuka-san, Lord Hiashi-san, and Tsume-san's ninken Kuromaru they were able to detect and confirm the presence of two other people of unknown origin. The left no DNA or possible evidence behind of where they came from nor where went, most likely using the river as cover. But we did confirm that it was them who killed the mob that raped Naruto, and that they most likely took him with them to an unknown location via the river that was right next to the scene. Hiashi-san and one of his clansmen Ko Hyuuga also noticed that the entire area was saturated with two different demonic chakra signatures, one that they confirmed to belong to both Naruto and the Kyuubi, as their chakra both possess similar signatures. And another one that was completely different from the Kyuubi's, but just as potent and just as old, though we are still trying to confirm if this foreign chakra belonged to another bijuu at all." finally finished with the report she awaited Hiruzen's decision.

Hiruzen stood up and began to pace back and forth while smoking his pipe as he went over what was revealed to him, for one he would have to have the families of everyone in that clearing interrogated. Another he would need to handle the Headmistress of the orphanage personally, naw better to give her to Ibiki. He always did hold a special place in his heart for certain people, he would be ecstatic to have a chance at Geishi, and whoever else was sent his way. Coming to a final decision to for what to do he turned around addressed his old teammates and rival, "Tell all of those who are out there searching to continue sweeping every inch within our borders for Naruto, he's out there somewhere, I want him found...dead or alive we must find him and bring him home. Also there is to be an emergency council meeting in one hour, anyone who doesn't attend will be executed, no exceptions now go, I'll see you all at the meeting."

They nodded understanding that he wished to be alone, and bowed before filling out the door and closing it behind them. As soon as the he heard the door click shut the security seals put up around the office flared to life, completely sealing the room. Hiruzen collapsed on the floor right there and cried, doing the only thing he could at that moment, he cried as he rested his back against the sofa opposite of the wall holding the pictures of the past Kages. He cried as he looked at one photo in particular and silently begged for that man to forgive him, for failing to protect his son, for failing to keep his promise, for failing a boy that he loved as a grandson. He had only cried this hard once in his life, and that was after burying the dead bodies of Minato and Kushina, and his dead wife Biwako. As the pain of those memories came crashing down on him, his whole body shook, causing him to shed even more tears he felt another piece of his heart die.

In an unknown location

The first thing that Naruto felt was warmth, a soft and soothing warmth that wrapped around his entire body comforting him. It was unclear to him what it was but it was unnaturally soft and for some strange reason it made him feel safe, as if nothing could harm him at this moment. As he was softly being lulled back to sleep he heard something that he normally wouldn't have if not for his superb hearing, again he heard it as slowly curiosity made him open his eyes. The first thing he saw was an ocean of reddish orange fur that almost completely wrapped around him, overwhelmed at first it took his young mind several minutes to process what he was seeing. Upon some further inspection he noticed that he was lying on top something, a really really BIG something, as he looked around he discovered that he was lying in a mess of multiple tails. One which had acted as a bed while the other was covering him for warmth, as he followed where the led he saw that there were several more that were all connected to what looked like a giant fox. The fox in question seemed to have two of it's huge tails covering it's face while it appeared to be crying into them? "That's not right, big monsters aren't supposed to cry are they?" wondered Naruto.

Getting down from his little perch he made his way toward where the fox's head was located, as walked he was able to get an idea of how massive the creature was especially since it took him a few good minutes to even get to where it's head was. Mustering up all of his courage he reached up and gently tugged on the tip of one of the fox's ears to get it's attention, "Ummmmm excuse me mister fox, could you please tell me where I am and who you are?" asked Naruto having remembered from Old Man Jiji about being polite.

For some reason this caused the fox to start bawling as it suddenly scooped up Naruto and started to nuzzle him against it's cheek, before finally speaking. "I'm so sooooorrrrrrrryyyyyy Naruto!" And with that short sentence it began to bawl even harder as Naruto, who was completely shocked for the most part, could only try and comfort the gigantic fox by petting it's brow while it's tails wrapped around them both. After a while of comforting the fox which had devolved into a big ball of fur and misery for a while, it finally showed signs of life as it slowly began to pull itself together. Which was good for Naruto because he was really starting to get tired from constantly scratching and rubbing all over its head and ears, finally being able to look at the boy, it shamefully opened its red slitted eyes to look at the boy.

In a very broken voice it finally spoke, " H...Hello Naruto, it's nice to finally see you in person for a change." It said in a rumbling but clearly feminine voice. " My name is Kurama, but you may know me by my title as Kyuubi, the Nine Tailed Fox. I'm so sorry Naruto, I never wanted for any of this to happen, I never wanted for you to suffer for what I had done." Kurama paused, trying to steady her breath as she continued to speak, " I know you have a lot of questions such as what i'm talking about, and many more, but I need you to wait till I'm done speaking okay?" she asked, hoping the boy would listen.

"O…..Okay Kurama-chan….." replied a very shocked Naruto, having not expected any of this.

Lightly blushing at the 'chan' suffix Kurama continued, " Five years ago on the day that you were born someone had attacked your mother and father, having waited only a handful of minutes after your were born before using you to get to your mother. This man wore a spiraled orange mask, and had captured your mother, the woman i was sealed inside of before you-"

"HOLD UP A SECOND, WHAT!? You were in my mother!? And now you're in ME? And what's sealed mean anyway!?" Interrupted Naruto, not being able to help himself.

"Hush!" Kurama scolded while lightly bopping Naruto on the head with the tip of one of her tails.

Having the decency to look embarrassed, Naruto 'zipped his lips shut', prompting Kurama to continue. "Ahem, while i understand you have a lot of questions i suppose i can start with those before I continue with my story, otherwise you won't understand anything else. Now in order: Yes I was sealed inside of your mother, but that originally happened when she was around 9 years old. Second is that on the day of your birth I ended up being sealed into you, I have literally been with you all of your life and have seen everything that has gone on with you. And finally to be sealed into something is like…." Kurama paused suddenly finding it very difficult to explain to a 5 year old just what the most powerful and complicated of the Shinobi Arts actually was.

"Hmmmmm you know how all of those ninja in your village can do all of those 'cool jutsu' Naruto?" she asked receiving an excited nod from the boy. "Well sealing or Fuinjutsu is the most difficult but also the most powerful of all the Shinobi Arts, trust me, you can do a lot more with it than you can with Ninjutsu."

Gobsmacked Naruto couldn't help it as a look of awe crossed his face, "You can do more with it then Ninputsu! That's soooo coooooooool!" he mentally ranted as he looked back up at the Kyuubi who had an almost amused look on her face.

"Now on with the story and no more interruptions this time!" Kurama said receiving a quick nod. "Now as I was saying I was sealed inside of your mother when she was just a little older than you, but before that I had been originally sealed inside of your great-grandmother. Whose name was Mito Uzumaki, wife of the Shodaime Hokage, and before you say anything don't ask why because that's a story for another time." she said quickly gaining a cute pout from the child, chuckling she continued. "Now when a your mother was pregnant the seal that held me inside of her was weakened, it became very weak when she gave birth to you. But something happened, your mother and father attacked by a man who wore a orange spiral mask. He was an Uchiha because i was able to sense that from inside the seal, and it was confirmed when your father fought him too. He used you so he could get to your mother and forcefully release me from the seal, as soon as I was out he used his Sharingan to take control over me before I could even do anything."

Pausing to recollect the events Naruto decided to ask "Was it because of him that you killed all those people? And did all those bad things the other villagers said you did?"

Looking away in shame Kurama could only nod her head in shame, she may be a demon but having to answer for such things to any child is incredibly difficult. Sighing she looked back down at Naruto, "Yes, the moment I was free I didn't have the time to even blink before i was brought under his control. He got the drop on me like a pro, by the time i was away of anything was when I was being sealed into you Naruto. I've been watching over you ever since, and I've felt all of your pain from inside of the seal too."

Suddenly understanding what it was she meant, a wave of painful memories of what had recently happened to him came rushing back with the subtlety of a tidal wave. Gasping and blinking back tears, he asked. "So…...you saw everything that happened right?" Gaining a nod. "Why?" Came the small reply, which he asked so softly only Kurama could have heard it. "WHY!? WHY DID THAT HAPPEN TO ME!? IS IT BECAUSE I LOOK DIFFERENT!? OR AM I REALLY JUST A MONSTER LIKE THEY ALL SAID!?" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs as waves of emotions crashed over him, driving him to collapse on the ground as he cried. Momentarily shocked by the emotional outburst Kurama quickly picked him up with her tails and wrapped herself around Naruto, trying her best to comfort the small kit as he balled his eyes out in an attempt to come to terms with what he had experienced. Knowing this wasn't going to end soon, Kurama quickly got herself comfortable as she did her best to help the distraught child.

In a hidden base somewhere in River Country

Both Akatsuki members were both resting on the only remaining couch that the sparse hideout had to offer, as they both looked over to the source of their exhaustion. After they had saved the little brat they had to haul ass out of there and used a lot of their chakra and stamina, to run the rest of the of the way to their hidden base here. Needless to say even for a pair of S rank criminals that's exhausting, as they lay there looking at the…..demon child….for lack of better term was looking A LOT better. Which was surprising given how the boy looked after Kakuzu had given him the Jiongu, at the rate his body was healing it'd only be another day or so and he'd probably make a full recovery.

Getting up from with a groan Kakuzu looked over to address his partner, "Come on Hitome we need to inform the others about this, the sooner we get this over with the sooner we can rest ourselves."

Nodding in agreement Hitome rose from the couch and both looked to the rings on their respective hands, pulsing chakra in a specific pattern into them they waited for the response from their leader. Not having to wait long for a response, they both closed their eyes as they felt their consciousnesses were pulled from their bodies. Opening their eyes they saw they were now in a dark cave with a large statue whose hands were chained in the background, now in as corporeal holograms, they looked around to see the others that were there. The holograms provided few visual details as to what the others looked like, except for their outlines and general physiques, the only other thing that showed were the eyes.

As Kakuzu and Hitome took note that everyone was there, they looked to their leader who soon spoke. " Kakuzu...Hitomi, why have you called for an emergency meeting? This had better be important." he said.

It was Hitome who spoke first, " Yes Pein-sama, we called this meeting because something big happened while me and Kakuzu-baka were traveling through Fire Country to reach our base here in River Country."

"Oh really? And what could that have been?" Asked one of the taller figures there, a man who was clearly as big as Kakuzu and appeared to have some kind of large sword on his back.

"We were getting to that Kisame," growled Kakuzu. "Me and Hitome had gotten into Fire Country just fine and were about halfway through when we got to a certain part near the Naraka River, hearing a bunch of loud men we decided to investigate. We found a clearing on the other side of the river from where we stood, there we saw a group of 34 naked men cheering on whoever was in the middle of them. It appeared to us at first that we had stumbled on a massive male orgy most of them were drunk, and some had even broken off into pairs to…fool around." he finished with obvious disgust in his voice.

"Is that it?" asked a hunched over bulky figure, "Did you really call us here because you were disturbed with what you saw?" The figure asked, anger evident in his voice. He hated it when people wasted his time.

"Kukuku now now Sasori calm down, I'm sure that is now all to this story." replied a slender individual who had long hair and snake like yellow eyes.

"Silence all of you, let them continue with their report." their leader intoned, silencing the others.

"Thankyou Pein-sama" Hitome said picking up where Kakuzu had left off. " Anyways we were about to leave when we heard something that made us stop and look back, one of them had cheered out to the man in the middle to 'show that little brat who's boss Fugaku-sama'." she paused allowing her words to sink in, causing most of the others to stiffen, knowing full well what it was she was saying.

After a moment she continued " After we turned around we were able to see that Fugaku Uchiha, Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, and one other Chunin who we later discovered was named Hayate Gekko were both raping a 5 year old boy." After saying this a collective amount of killing intent was released from all of those present, sure they all might be criminals but even they had standards.

"What…..the FUCK!?" Snarled Kisame

"And here I thought that worm could sink no lower.." seethed Orochimaru, something that gained more than a few raised eyebrows from those present. It would appear that the man who was dubbed a mad scientist for his inhuman experiments on people, children included, had certain boundaries. Who'd have guessed?

"Yes." Kakuzu replied venomously. " After we discovered what had really been going on we quickly slaughtered them all, save for that child raping bastard Fugaku, he saw us cutting through the men there and ran as soon as we struck. The Chunin Hayate got pinned to a tree by Hitome's pike while we dealt with the rest, after it was all over we took a look at the child, his arms and legs were severed off just below the knees and elbows. He was skinned, burned, had chunks of flesh missing and at least a dozen broken bones, it was a miracle he was even alive at that point. But what truly shocked us was that he isn't even human, the fool Hayate even warned us to 'stay away from demon' and that 'it deserves to die.'

'What do you mean Kakuzu?" asked the only other woman there.

This time Hitome answered " What he means Konan-chan is that the boy is a Hanyou, or a half-demon." she said shocking the others, except Orochimaru who was now suspicious.

"Wait a minute," Orochimaru interjected gaining everyone's' attention. "Did this boy have blood red hair and eyes, that were slitted like like mine? As well as fox ears and tail, both the color of his hair?"

"How do you know that?" asked Kakuzu narrowing his eyes at the man.

"Who do think was even allowed in the same room as him, let alone supposed to protect him when he was just an infant?" Orochimaru said crossing his arms, "I and only a handful of others were trusted to protect him after the Kyuubi attacked Konoha, not even two full days after he was born there was an attempt on his life. During a council meeting where the Hokage addressed the council to inform them of what had happened and what was going on he showed the boy you spoke of, Naruto Uzumaki i think his name was, one of the civilian council members snapped and stabbed him. Right where the seal holding the Kyuubi was….." he finished much to the shock of the others.

"So…..that would explain how the child became a Hanyou, the demon must have done something in order to save the boy from that attempt on the boy's life." intoned Pein, having gotten over the shock of the news.

"Yes, I wasn't around for longer than 2 years after that incident though so i can't give anymore information than that I'm afraid. Well…... that and the fact that little Naruto is the son of Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage." said Orochimaru chuckling at the gobsmacked looks on everyone else's faces.

"Hmmmm the Sandaime must have kept the child's identity a secret so as to protect him," said Kisame once he recovered," not that it did a whole lot of good though…."

"No it didn't" replied Kakuzu. "The Chunin Hayate even confirmed for us before I killed him that Naruto in fact is the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, and he did say that he was the son of Kushina as well. But still, even being a jinchuuriki and having demonic healing has it's limits though because we could see that he was dying. What he endured…..was just too much for his body to handle as what was left of him was shutting down quickly. I had to give him the Jiongu while using Hayate's heart in order to save him, we now have him resting on the couch here in the base." having finished he waited to see what the others, especially their leader would want to do.

The other members looked to their leader who was contemplating what to make of this, on one hand he had a perfect opportunity to obtain the Kyuubi, but on the other hand they were nowhere near ready to perform the ritual. Besides they had to wait to seal the Kyuubi last otherwise they would destroy the Gedo Mazo statue, what to do? As Pein thought of the child he began to see that maybe the boy could be made their ally, they could train him since he was already old enough to begin. He has already suffered more than most people ever will, the boy knew more about pain than perhaps even himself, and there is also the fact that he's not even human. Of all the things this child could be, a Hanyou, a half-demon, if the Akatsuki were to train him and make him powerful then not only would they gain a VERY powerful ally, but he would almost definitely survive the extraction ritual. Naruto could become as strong as himself and be utterly loyal to him and the Akatsuki, after all, why wouldn't he be loyal to the ones who saved him, clothed him, and made him an unbeatable shinobi? Plus the promise of revenge on the village responsible for what he went through would help, who wouldn't want revenge?

Finally coming to a decision he spoke, " I have come to a decision, this child is special, he has suffered more than most of us have, and truly has nothing right now except for the will to live. He holds the Kyuubi inside of him and will no doubt be able to access it's chakra at some point, but not only that he is a Hanyou. Something that no one has ever seen before, if we were to take him in now, we could mould him into an unstoppable weapon, loyal to us and us alone. He would have every reason to trust us and be indebted to us, becoming an invaluable ally that the Five Great Villages would never see coming. And best of all is that he is almost guaranteed to survive the extraction ritual due to him being a Hanyou, we wouldn't even need to worry about losing him later on at all. So i have decided that we shall keep him alive and train him into a powerful shinobi, one worthy of our ranks. Therefore since it was you two who saved him and brought him to us, it shall be up to you two to look after him, you shall begin at once and I expect reports on his progress regularly. You shall be sent everything you could need to train him and take care of him, weapons supplies, jutsu scrolls, whatever you need you shall have it." he paused allowing Kakuzu and Hitomi to absorb everything he was saying.

"Great…..so basically you want us to be glorified babysitters!?" snarled Kakuzu not liking this at all, he may have some respect for the brat, but this was the LAST thing he wanted to do.

"SERIOUSLY!? Jashin DAMMIT!" swore a very pissed off Hitome, who then went on a very colorful rant, leaving no doubt as to how she felt.

"ENOUGH!" ordered Pein as a wave of KI flooded the room. "You will do as i have instructed, I don't care if you like it or not, but you will do as you are told! Otherwise you shall both feel the wrath of God, I expect you to raise and train this child and that is FINAL! Understood!?"

The room was tense as Kakuzu and Hitome glared up at their so called 'leader', neither of them wanted to have to deal with a kid. But this wasn't really something worth getting into a fight with Pein over, both knowing that if it came to blows they might now be able to beat him as they were right now.

Finally it was Hitome who answered first "Tch…..fine…. We'll take care of the brat for now, but we ain't spending long here in this damn hole, we still have shit we gotta do."

"We'll spend a couple of months here training him in the basics," said Kakuzu. "We'll make sure that he gets training while we travel, or when me and Hitome are on mission. But after we've drilled him on all of the basics we WILL be returning to our duties, consequences be DAMNED."

Pein took a moment to think the situation over, normally he wouldn't tolerate such disrespect to a God such as himself, but they do have a point still. Even he can't actually expect a pair of S rank criminals to spend all of their time raising a child of all things, besides their organization still needs to acquire funds if they are to proceed with their goals. And these two ARE the ones who have made a majority of the organization's funds so far, they would need to return work at some point soon, they couldn't afford NOT TO.

"Very well" he said after some time. "But I expect results, and if you are to be taking him with you then you better make the most out of every mission with him. The experience will be invaluable to his education, try to teach him in the most efficient way you can, so as to speed up his training. The sooner you train him to an acceptable level, the sooner you can return to your regular duties."

After receiving nods from the two Akatsuki, Pein then decided it was time to bring the meeting to a close seeing no other reason for it to go on any longer. "If that is all then this meeting is adjourned, the rest of you continue with your current assignments, and let me know of any important developments." And with that he disappeared, as the others canceled the jutsu that was keeping them their so too did Kakuzu and Hitomi.

Back in the base in River Country

As the two Akatsuki opened their eyes they both looked to each other and shared a groan, both knowing that the next few years were going to grate on their nerves to no end. They both hated kids, having always found them annoying as all hell just to be around, how the hell did that idiot expect them to raise one? Silently cursing fate for being a cruel bitch, they looked over to see that Naruto was still out cold on the sofa where they had left him. Seeing that he was still covered in filth that was starting to seep onto the couch the both looked to one another, as if on some unspoken communication, they both raised their fists up into the air.

"ROCK...PAPER...SCISSORS...SHOOT!" they both cried in unison while showing the other which one they had chose. Kakuzu laughed as Hitome let out a string of curses having lost, not wanting to have to be the one to wash the brat up, hopefully there would be some hot water left for her at the end.

"Grrr…. Dammit I can't believe I lost again, well fine if I'm going to be the one to do it then we're jumping in the shower FIRST! This way I can just get it over with before he ruins the sofa!"

"Tch….the reason why you always lose is because you ALWAYS choose ROCK. And I don't care if you go first with the boy, I just don't want to be the one who cleans him up." replied Kakuzu as he sat back down on the couch.

"Yep! Ahhhh good ol' ROCK!"said Hitome as she kissed her fist. Picking up Naruto she threw him over her shoulder and headed into the bathroom, silently plotting to use up all the hot water just to spite Kakuzu. Hey, she had to clean up a VERY dirty brat, AND herself, what's a girl to do right?

End of Chapter 1

Okay, so to all those who read this, please let me know what you thought of the story. I'm going to try to make sure that not only is it fun to read but also easy to read as well, like I said before this is going to be a very long story. I'm not going to be doing any short chapters at all,this chapter alone was over 15,700 words, and i'm thinking about making that the average length of each chapter. I actually spent about 4 months thinking up this whole story and writing down a basic outline of how the story was going to go, to finding entire lists of Jutsus, Tai and Kenjutsu styles, weapons, you name it. I also spent a bit of time revamping how a lot of the other characters are going to be, hell just wait and see what happens to Hinata, not to mention a bunch of the other Konoha 11.

Now in case I didn't make this clear before, this is obviously going to be rated M throughout the entire story, and is going to be very graphic. Everything from the violence to the eventual sex scenes are all going to be graphic, but those sexy scenes aren't going to come till just a little bit later. The first few chapters are going to have a lot to do with Naruto's development, the fallout from his disappearance in Konoha, and his metamorphosis into into an unstoppable force.

There is a reason why I wanted Kakuzu and Hitomi to be stuck with Naruto in the first place, now that they have to basically raise him, they can turn him into the perfect killer. Kakuzu is 72 years old right now, which is actually going in line with the tv series. I checked his age online when he died and counted back to when i wanted the story to start, but still he is 72 years old and in his prime. He actually has MORE experience than even the 3rd Hokage Hiruzen, which is saying something, not only that but he is a master of all forms of elemental ninjutsu. So you can bet that Naruto is going to benefit greatly from his tutelage, even if it is cruel and unusual.

Now I changed Hidan's gender as well as a few other things about him for multiple reasons, while in the animated series and mangas, he was still a threat to a lot of people, he was always a berserker. I didn't like that the ONLY IMMORTAL IN THE ENTIRE NARUTOVERSE… was basically an idiot and a one-trick-pony. So I made several 'improvements' to 'Hitomi', making her someone who's truly worthing of S rank status, who DOESN'T just rely on that damn Curse Jutsu of hers. See ever since I got married I actually learned a lot about women and how they think from my wife, how they see things that we men almost never even notice. How they think in ways we men don't ever consider, while we go left, women go right. Women are of course naturally smarter and develop earlier than men for a reason, it's so they can better compliment us men and 'be our missing rib'. I'm not making this shit up folks, i've actually seen the research firsthand. Sooooo yeah Hitomi is going to be a sexy badass, who mastered damn near every weapon imaginable before she settled on her favored Triple-bladed Scythe. She's going to know Katon, Futon, and MANY different Kinjutsus, I'm going to be doing some research into voodoo spells and curses so that way I can come up with some fucked up shit that Hitomi can dish out. I'm talking that DARK MAGIC shit that makes Orochimaru look tame, but if you guys have any ideas please feel free to let me know. Cause i'm seriously drawing a blank on that right now.

Now there are actually going to be A LOT of different pairings, multiple harems for different reasons, and Naruto, Kakuzu and Hitomi are going to end up joining Kumo when Naruto just turned 11. There in Kumo Naruto will meet what will eventually become his very own Genin Team in the future, he will meet and train with Yugito Nii, and Killer Bee. Eventually he's going to become family to them with the Raikage A and Killer B being his older brothers and Yugito being and older sister, he becomes friends with Karui, Omoi, and Samui as well.

Because of what happened to Naruto Konoha is going to change BIG TIME, Hiruzen is going to remind everyone why he's the God of Shinobi, and really take control of things. Which will lead to certain things such as how the Shinobi Academy is run being revamped, to produce higher quality shinobi, and how the village in general is going to be run. Hiruzen is also going to crack down on his Jounins and ANBU, putting them through the wringer, and forcing them to step it up and become even better at what they do(QUE THE TORTURE/TRAINING FROM HELL). HINT: This is also going to have an effect on Danzo, who's seeing all of this unfold.
