Naruto Uzumaki the son of the Fourth Hokage you'd figure that having such a powerful father that his life would be easy he'd be loved, but that's where you'd be wrong, because that's not exactly what happened. Before Naruto was born a man came and ripped the Kyuubi from Kushina, and unleashed it on Konoha.

Many people lost their lives that day. It was supposed to be a happy day a new edition to the Uzumaki-Namikaze family Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze a new baby brother for the Uzumaki-Namikaze siblings but with the mystery man appearing and unleashing the Kyuubi Minato had to come up with a plan, unfortunately, that plan was Naruto.

The plan was to seal the Kyuubi in his son to save the people, he was willing to die to accomplish this but Hiruzen Sarutobi had other ideas and after knocking Minato unconscious did the deed himself dying in the process.

You'd think even with the Kyuubi inside Naruto that he'd be OK, with his family being by his side training him but yet again you'd be wrong. From birth, Naruto was neglected a wet nurse took care of Naruto. He was never cared for by his family whenever he left the Namikaze estate he was looked on as a demon.

He wasn't attacked by the village, no the villagers weren't that stupid. They had other ways of making the Demon Child suffer. The things they told The Hokage were lies that Naruto's bullies other children that people are scared to go near him when in fact it's all lies.

They have tried to poison him on many occasions but Kyuubi was always there to heal him. Naruto grew up alone for years he just wanted to feel, a mother's, love to feel like he was part of the family but he wasn't, The Namikaze's would go out to eat and leave Naruto home all alone with no food and Naruto would just cry for his mommy, a plea, that was never answered.

Eventually, he was able to learn to cook for himself a feat that his parents weren't aware of or seemed to care. His birthdays were ignored unlike his brother and sister's birthdays, but his birthday was just like any other day.

When Naruto was six he joined the academy again you'd think with him being the son of the Yondaime that he'd be treated nicely, again dead wrong he was ostracized from everything the teachers would send him from the room put him in detention and then just leave him there for hours one weekend they locked him inside the academy and his parents didn't even notice.

Naruto had no friends growing up, he was all alone but he wasn't weak, he wasn't dumb, he was actually very smart, he just needed guidance, unfortunately, nobody guided him, his godfather Jiraiya ignored him like the plague, his godmother Tsunade didn't neglect him as bad as the others but she did listen to Minato and Kushina, But she didn't outright ignore him.

The Teachers would give reports to Minato, telling him his son was just lazy, and bullied other classmates and showed no signs of accomplishing anything, often sleeping during class, of course.

That was all lies they just hated Naruto not that he had done anything wrong, it was the Kyuubi but they thought he was the Kyuubi reincarnated, so they did what they could to make his life a misery.

Naruto was a very curious boy growing up, he'd watch people train, and try and do what they do, sometimes he'd watch people train, and if he saw something wrong he'd try and tell them what they were doing wrong.

He was either, ignored, shouted at, sometimes even spat at, after a while he gave up trying to help anyone he would forge his own path and leave the Shadow that was Minato Namikaze.

On one of Naruto's walks through the village he heard a girl crying and then laughing so he went to investigate what he saw made him angry four boys were picking on a bubblegum haired girl he heard the names they called her ugly, freak apparently it was because of her forehead, they started throwing mud at her and stones and that was not right in Naruto's books so he intervened.

He used what he learned from watching people to attack the boys the first boy a rather chubby boy was punched in the gut then elbowed in the face, Naruto then launched himself at the other three kicking one of them in the shin, headbutting one and uppercutting the third the four boys were beaten so quickly they had no idea what happened they just got up crying and ran away.

Naruto knows they would get him in trouble acting like he attacked them for no reason the parents would most likely go to his father with lies and Naruto would get shouted at, that was the only interaction he got from his father anger when he did nothing wrong, half the time they just told lies so he'd get in trouble he didn't fight often only to protect people.

On this occasion, Naruto didn't care he helped the girl up he looked into her eyes and saw Emerald Green eyes and right there he thought he'd seen an angel the prettiest girl he's ever seen. He brushes the dirt off her dress and smiles "Are you OK, they didn't hurt you did they."

The girl looks at Naruto and just like Naruto the moment her eyes locked with his she knew she was in love, well she didn't exactly know what love was but she knew she wanted to be close to this boy but deep down she knows she can't, he's the village's outcast and being seen with him would be bad. She does answer him though "I'm OK, they didn't hurt me, thanks to you."

Naruto gives her one of his foxy grins he hasn't given anyone a foxy grin ever, to be honest, he hardly smiles at all. "My names Naruto what's yours."

The girl smiles "Sakura, Sakura Haruno."

Naruto smiles "Such a pretty name." His smile then drops "You better go, you wouldn't want to be seen with me, you'd get into trouble."

She nods "OK."

She runs off and Naruto watches her go and sighs 'I hate this; it's not fair, what have I done to deserve this, I'm not a demon, am I.'

As Sakura's running away she's deep in thought 'It's not fair I don't want to stay away from him he saved me I want to be his friend stupid villagers still he's right I don't want to get in trouble.'

This same old routine went on for a few years it was now the last year at the academy now Naruto was nowhere near Dead Last and insulting title he thinks he's probably, smack bang in the middle.

Of course if Naruto wanted to he could easily be the Rookie of the Year, he's smarter then all of them but that would show his parents something he didn't want them to know, so he continued his false persona.

He found out about what would happen in the Genin exam the Substitution Jutsu, The Bunshin Clone Jutsu, and a written test. Of course, Naruto couldn't get the stinking Bunshin No Jutsu to work he remembers a few weeks ago when he met the fox a day he'd never forgotten but he wasn't scared, No; he was pissed, with the fox.

Kyuubi was surprised by this expecting Naruto to be a little crybaby the moment he saw him but Naruto just glared right at him and Kyuubi was actually impressed so he decided to talk to Naruto. He told him why he couldn't get the Bunshin No Jutsu to work was because of his Chakra Coils were all messed up he told Naruto to visit his father with the problem.

When Naruto did his father ignored him not even listening to him and sent him on his way suffice to say Kyuubi was furious and wanted to rip Minato's head off as well as everyone in the stinking village.

We now find Naruto sitting down in a training field wondering what he's going to do, he knows the teachers are sabotaging him, it pisses him off to no end, and he just wants to beat the living daylights out of them, the pathetic, lowlife idiots. He knows he's already failed twice already, he can't fail again but what is he going to do.

It's about this time when Naruto's life changes for the better he never forgot that day a few years ago when he met Sakura-Chan it engrained in his memory, of course, he never spoke to her again civilly.

I mean he tried saying hello, but she'd just snap at him, she became just like every other stupid girl in his class, and fell hard for that pathetic, loser, Sasuke Uchiha, one of the biggest, NO, the BIGGEST WANKER, in history, thinking he's the best. Naruto refuses to fight him and just walks away.

People probably think he's a chicken but he's not, he could probably beat the living daylights out of Sasuke Uchiha, but again that would make people suspicious of him and they'd tell the Hokage and Naruto doesn't care about his so called father.

He stopped caring about his father, his mother his stupid arrogant siblings especially Nawaki his oldest brother, Naruto's watched him train and Naruto always laughs at how pathetic he is, of course, he's not going to tell him.

His sisters aren't much better he admits there not fangirls and they take their training seriously but just like his arrogant brother their fall of themselves, thinking they're better than everyone else if he didn't know any better he'd assume there really Uchiha's.

As he's thinking on this, he doesn't notice a pink-haired girl standing in front of him. Sakura Haruno always watches Naruto she sometimes stalks him she watches him watch other people she just wants to be close to him, her inner-self and her are always arguing her inner-self keeps telling her to approach Naruto because she likes him instead of faking her fangirlish ways about Sasuke, Plus to stop treating Naruto like shit.

If she's honest, she can't stand him he's arrogant, smug, rude, looks down on everyone a typical Uchiha, if she's honest the only one who seems different is Itachi and Sasuke's mom (Yes no Uchiha Massacre.)

She so wants to approach Naruto, and now she knows that she has competition with Hinata stalking Naruto, She has to act and unlike Hinata, who's shy and too scared to do anything, she won't be like that.

She saw him leave the Hokage Tower in a foul mode she followed him discreetly of course she knows he's failed the Genin Exam twice already, a third time and that's it, and now her and her inner-self are in agreement she will help Naruto-Kun and stop hiding her feelings so when he arrived at the training ground she watched him he was just sitting there punching the ground and that was the last straw now she won't hide she won't lie to herself.

Naruto doesn't even notice she's there, Sakura watches him deep in thought "Naruto."

Naruto looks up "Sakura-Chan, what are you doing here I'm not your precious Sasuke-Kun you know."

She sighs "Can I tell you something."

He shrugs "Sure why not."

She sits next to him "It was all an act."

Naruto looks at her "What was an act."

Sakura sighs "Me liking Sasuke, I hate him, I never liked him."

Naruto seems confused "So why act like a fangirl, you're like his biggest fangirl along with Ino."

She sighs "Do you remember what you said when you saved me years ago, about getting in trouble with being seen with you."

Naruto nods "I remember, so what's your point."

Sakura sighs "I've had enough of lying to myself, I like you, Naruto-Kun, I was just scared to do anything about it."

Naruto raises an eyebrow "So what's changed."

She smiles "I hate who I am, I feel like I'm not myself, I hate who I pretend to be, so I will change starting now and I know you're hiding your true abilities I just don't know why."

Naruto looks at her in shock 'She knows I'm faking it what do I do this is bad.'

Sakura watches him 'I wonder what he's thinking I have to reassure him I won't say anything' "Naruto-Kun It's OK, I won't say anything but can you tell me why you do it."

Naruto looks at her 'Can I tell her, should I tell her, I kind of want to tell someone.' Naruto sighs "Why do you want to know so badly."

Sakura sighs "I know your always sad, you wear a mask but I can see it's fake, your unhappy, I see the villagers hate you and it makes me sad, I want to know why they hate you do you know."

Naruto looks at her in shock 'That's a big secret to tell her, it's the one rule The Hokage told me never to tell but screw him he's not my dad.' "Sakura-Chan you know the story of the Kyuubi don't you."

Sakura nods "Yes, The Sandaime killed it but died in the process."

Naruto scoffs "That's bullshit, Sakura-Chan, everyone's, been lied to, the Kyuubi isn't dead, Kyuubi's made of pure Chakra, The Sandaime sealed Kyuubi in a newborn baby, only a newborn who's Chakra coils who haven't developed yet can hold it."

Sakura looks at Naruto "That baby was you, wasn't it."

Naruto looks at her then looks away "Yes, now you can run away now I guess, treat me like everyone else."

Sakura looks at Naruto 'I can't believe it, it's so shocking, but all the hate makes perfect sense now, but I sense there's more to it a deeper pain than that.' "Naruto-Kun how come I never see you out with your family?"

Naruto looks at her and sighs "What family, they don't even know I exist, they listen to lies they think I'm weak, lazy and there ashamed of me I bet, Oh wait I doubt that they'd actually have to show emotions to me to care in the first place, You know I had to learn to cook when I was five years old, my whole family would go out to eat without me."

"When I was younger I used to cry for my mom I never received Cuddles, My birthday was always ignored like it never happened, or I even existed for that matter, but whenever it's my brother or sisters it's a massive party."

Sakura is crying as she hears this 'Why, why would his family do this to him what's wrong with them, Is her hiding his skills from them because he doesn't want them to know, that's just wrong.' "I'm sorry Naruto-Kun, You must be so lonely, What about your godparents are they the same."

Naruto sighs "Jiraiya is yes, he looks at me like the plague, I just don't understand, as for Tsunade well she's nice, when she sees me she smiles at me heals me when I'm hurt but she doesn't talk to me probably heard the lies everyone tells my so called parents."

Just then they hear a cough and looks up and see a woman with purple hair with a brown trenchcoat on with mesh clothing and a brown short skirt and going by the fact she's not wearing a bra she doesn't seem to care what people think.

The woman looks at both Naruto and Sakura "Everything you just said was that the truth."

Naruto doesn't know what to say 'This is bad will she report this to the Hokage.'

Anko looks at Naruto as he's in thought 'He thinks I'll tell his dad but going by what he said I wouldn't do that to him he's like me we gotta stick together' "No, sweat gaki, not gonna tell your old man, if what you said is true then I've lost all respect for your parents."

Naruto seems confused "But your one of his Kunoichi's, why would you hold that from him."

Anko grins "Because like you I'm not well liked in the village because of my former Sensei, So your secrets safe with me, so this neglect is it from your teachers also."

Naruto nods "Yes, They tell lies to my dad that I'm lazy, that I fall asleep in class and bully other students."

Sakura's shocked "That's not true, there lying to your dad."

Naruto shrugs "I'm used to it, I'm just pissed, because I can't get the Bunshin No Jutsu, to work because my Chakra Coils are messed up because of the Kyuubi but when I explained this to my so called dad he said I was just lying and was trying to get special treatment because I was his son, like he's ever been a father to me."

Anko growls "Your fathers an arsehole, so your Chakra control is probably shot to hell also what about your Taijutsu has the Academy neglected to teach you that also."

Sakura nods "Yes, they also keep trying to make Naruto-Kun, face Sasuke all the time so they can see Naruto lose, but Naruto always walks away."

Anko growls "Damn parasites, well Gaki, I'll help you out, you can call me Anko-Nee-San I'll go to the library and get you sorted on Chakra Control, and Taijutsu styles."

Naruto smirked "How about Kenjutsu whilst you're at it."

Anko grins "You got it "Otouto."

Anko vanishes via Shunshin and Naruto and Sakura look at each other confused Sakura is the first to speak "Well that was weird."

Naruto nods "Tell me about it."

Sakura giggles "I just did."

Naruto and Sakura start laughing until they hear a voice "So they were right you are weak and useless I hoped the rumors were wrong about you Naruto."

Naruto looks up and sees Tsunade "Yea, whatever you know nothing."

Tsunade looks confused "What are you talking about."

Sakura then speaks "What he means is everyone's lying about Naruto, the villagers, and the teachers, all because of the Kyuubi and his parents and siblings are the worst people ever they neglect him they always have."

Tsunade looks at Naruto and Sakura she can tell that Sakura's crying as she talks and Naruto looks so sad 'This can't be true can it, Kushina and Minato wouldn't neglect their son, and how did she find out about the Kyuubi, I guess, Naruto told her.' "OK, Naruto-Kun, tell me everything and I mean everything, the neglect and everything."

Naruto sighs he looks at Sakura who nods and he tells her everything Tsunade, is both furious with herself and Naruto's family with the villagers and she's shocked, She agrees his assumption about the Chakra Coils makes sense and again was angry with Minato to completely disregard Naruto's opinion which she agrees with.

Tsunade smiles "Don't worry Naruto, I'll help you out with a few things your Clone problem will be sorted out in a few hours come to the Senju compound in a few hours, OK."

Just then Anko returns with some books "Hey, Otouto I got your books."

Tsunade looks at the books "Anko since when is he your little brother."

She smirks "Since a few minutes ago."

Tsunade then nods at the books "So what are they."

Anko grins "Books, on Chakra Control, Taijutsu, and Kenjutsu also picked up a book on Ninjutsu."

Tsunade nods "Chakra Control makes sense because of his guest same for Taijutsu seeing as the Academy was so helpful, as for Kenjutsu, you really want to learn that."

Naruto shrugs "Well I said it as a joke but yeah sure why not, can't exactly be the best ninja ever if I can't do a bit of everything."

Tsunade nods "Good point, OK I'll take those books, Anko, you take them to get some food and meet me at the compound in about an hour and we can start getting you in shape no godson of mine will fail the academy."

Anko smiles "Come on guys I'll treat you to the best food in the world."

Sakura smiles "Sushi."

Anko shakes her head

Naruto smiles "Ramen."

Anko scoffs "Please, Dango."

Naruto and Sakura just shrugs and both say "Whatever you say."

Anko grins "Yep, let's go Gaki's"

Tsunade watches them head off and sighs 'I am really disappointed in your Minato and Kushina you should be ashamed of yourself, well time to get that scroll of sealing for Naruto should have the Kage Bunshin No Jutsu in there. Plus it's time I started being more in Naruto-Kun's life if Kushina won't be his mother then as his godmother it's my job to step up, soon you'll be sorry you neglected your son.'

After an Hour, Naruto, Sakura, and Anko arrive at the Senju compound Naruto and Sakura are not exactly sure why Anko's still there but just shrug, to be honest, Naruto's not sure why Sakura-Chan's still here but he hardly cares.

Naruto knocks on the door and Shizune opens the door she's always nice to Naruto when he sees her "Hey Nee-San is Baa-Chan here."

Tsunade comes to the door "That's enough of that gaki, get your ass in here oh, you're here too, well, whatever, you might as well come in also."

They all head inside and Shizune makes some tea for them all Tsunade then asks Naruto some questions about what he does and when he tells her that he watches people fight and looks for holes in their styles and also tries to copy them she smiles "That is quite interesting but also wrong you shouldn't spy on people but the fact there to stubborn to admit there doing things wrong when a kid can spot their weaknesses is idiotic."

Anko smirked "You're quite smart, Otouto."

Tsunade smirked "Yea, well we will get started on these exercises after the tea. She then looks at Sakura "From all reports you're a fangirl who's obsessed with Sasuke."

Sakura sighs and tells them the truth there slightly annoyed but can also understand why she did it. Tsunade smirked "Well now you got your act together it's about time, Mikoto's boy is just as annoying and arrogant as his father he's got a stick so far up his ass he'll be coughing up wood for the rest of his life."

Naruto smirks "That's a good one Ba.I mean Tsunade."

Tsunade nods "I know, so tell me Sakura what do you want to do with your life what are your aspirations."

Sakura smiles "I'd like to become a Medic-Nin like you, Lady Tsunade."

Tsunade smiles "Interesting, I don't see why you can't do these Chakra Exercises with Naruto-Kun, but I have an idea."

She smirks "I want you Sakura to act like you are now and only show your true power at the Chūnin exams give everyone the shock of their lives. As for you Naruto you will show your family you're not what they think you are but first drink up and myself and Anko will test you both before we start on the hard stuff."

Naruto smiles "Bring it on."

Sakura smiles "I agree, and I will do as your say Lady Tsunade." She then sighs "Even if I have to continue to act like a fangirl but I won't be mean to Naruto-Kun."

Tsunade smirked "Of course not Sakura, you wouldn't want your boyfriend to be upset now would we."

Naruto and Sakura both blush although Sakura's inner self is jumping up and down Yes, Yes, Yes, we will be Naruto-Kun's girlfriend, take that Hinata, CHA.

Sakura inwardly nods 'I agree, no more faking my affections for Naruto-Kun, although how should I act in the academy with him.'

Her Inner Self scoffs Well to fool them all you're going to have to act although that only applies to inside the academy outside we can be with Naruto-Kun but we will have to watch that Hinata.

Sakura nods 'Of course.'

After the Tea, Tsunade shows Naruto the Kage Bunshin No Jutsu. It takes him two hours to learn that and during that time Anko's teaching Sakura some Taijutsu and helping her out with her Kunai throwing, no longer will Sakura be weak, she will show Sasuke and everyone else that Sakura Haruno and Naruto Uzumaki will be the best ninja's in the village.

A few hours later Anko takes Sakura home, they started work on the Tree Climbing Technique, of course, Sakura got it easily which impressed Tsunade, Naruto struggled, though but he'll get it eventually.

After Sakura left Tsunade let Naruto sleep in a spare room doubting that Kushina and Minato would even notice. She smirks evilly as she watched an exhausted Naruto sleep "Just you watch Minato and Kushina, and you pervert, Naruto Uzumaki will be the best ninja in the village can't wait to rub it in their faces.
