Chapter 1: The Beginning

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

12 years ago, the Kyubi attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. It destroyed much, and killed many. The valiant ninja of the village gave their lives to try and stop it.

The Fourth Hokage saw that there was no way to defeat it. So he gave his life to seal it within a newborn child. This child, is Naruto Uzumaki.

Before the Hokage could seal the demon though, it destroyed the Ikiteishu clan compound, completely wiping them out. This clan had a special kekei genkai, they could morph themselves into animals, had a doujutsu, the Doragon, and each had an inner demon or guardian within them. Each was a dragon, but no two were alike. Some more powerful than others, or smarter, but all had a connection with the memories of all other dragons, dead or alive. There were only two survivors of the clan, a woman named Rangiku, and her child. She crawled all the way to the Hokage Tower, bloody and carrying her 11 month old baby. With what little strength she had left, she opened the door to the tower, and fell on the floor. The Hokage, which by now was Sarutobi again, came running in. And with her last breath, she said: "His name is Rasuto, he is a special boy." And then she died. That woman was my mother, and that child, is me.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Leave him alone!!" shouted a 13 year old. Brown haired, grey eyed boy running behind a mob, this is me, Rasuto Ikiteishu. The mob was chasing another 12 year old boy. He had blonde hair and blue eyes , this is Naruto Uzumaki. "I said leave him alone!" I shouted, but they continued to chase him. Why do they do this to him? He has done nothing wrong! Well, except for the occasional prank, but that's no reason to beat a child! I thought as I chased the mob. I have to go get Iruka sensei! I screamed in my mind as I jumped away.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Iruka Sensei!" I yelled as I saw the scar-nosed man in a restaurant.

"What is it Rasuto?" he asked.

"It's Naruto! The villagers are chasing him again!" His face filled with rage at my words.

"Let's go!" he shouted as he ran in the direction of the noise.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The villagers had Naruto cornered. "Please!" pleaded Naruto, tears in his eyes. "Leave me alone!"

"Not after what you've done, demon!" shouted a ninja in the front, holding up a kunai. "It's time we rid ourselves of you!" he yelled as he threw the kunai, but it was deflected by a man in shinobi clothing.

"How could you do this to an innocent boy?!" asked Iruka.

"Innocent? Ha! Iruka, you know better than me that he is not innicent!" yelled the same ninja who threw the knife.

"What has he done to you!?" I yelled as I stepped forward.

"Rasuto! Get back!" yelled Iruka, grabbing my shoulder. I shook it off.

"He's a monster! What more reason do we need?" yelled someone in the back.

"You want to see a monster? Look in the mirror!" I shouted, tears in my eyes.

"You don't know what he's done!" shouted another villager.

"Yes! Yes I do!" I yelled back. "I've known him my whole life! He's done nothing worse than stupid pranks!"

"You don't know what he really is, do you?" asked the ninja.

"I know who he is! And that's all that matters!" I yelled. The mob began to dissipate.

"You may have protected him this time, but we'll get him eventually." Said the ninja before he body flickered away.

"Naruto." Said Iruka, walking over to him. "Are you hurt?"

"No, the rocks missed me…." He said sadly.

"Well, how about I take you two for ramen?" asked Iruka.

Naruto instantly brightened. "Miso pork?" he asked hopefully.

"What else?" said Iruka laughing.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

An hour later, after we were done eating, Iruka turned to us. "You two should get home, you have your test tomorrow."

We both looked sadly at the floor, see, we could never pass the test. We always failed the clone test, they always came out wrong.

"Don't worry." He said smiling. "I'm sure you'll pass this time." We smiled when he said that.

"Okay." Naruto said getting up. "Thanks for the ramen Iruka Sensei!" he yelled as we ran off.

Iruka sat there watching us run home. "They're going to make great ninja someday." He said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As we opened the door to our apartment, yeah I said 'our apartment', since we were both orphans, they thought it was a good idea to house us together. We'd been together so long, we'd become like brothers.

"Night." I said yawning as I headed to my room.

"Night…" said Naruto sadly as he went into his room.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Wake up!!" yelled Naruto in my ear. "Waaaaake Uuuuuppp!!" he yelled, banging pots and pans together. "We have a test at the academy!"

I remained asleep.

"Fine!" he yelled in exasperation. "I'm leaving!"

I cracked an eye. "Hold up." I said slowly getting out of bed.

"Well then hurry up!" he yelled dancing around.

A few minutes later, Naruto was running to the academy, while I was flying. Yes I said flying, due to my inner demon and guardian, I could sprout the tail, wings, claws, teeth and scales of a dragon, always black and gold though. I had learned a few things about my clan and it's jutsus from the Hokage. I'd also found a weird little dagger, but the Hokage took that, said he'd give it to me when I was ready.

When we arrived at the academy, class had already started.

"Well, Mr.Uzumaki and Mr.Ikiteishu, so nice of you to join us." Said Iruka.

"Sorry we're late." Said Naruto.

"Just sit and wait for your turn at the test." He said, waving at us to sit down.

We sat next to each other, listening to people talk, never being included. But we didn't care.

"Next up. Naruto Uzumaki." Said another teacher, with silver hair. His name was Mizuki.

"Good luck." I whispered as he passed me, and entered the room.

A few minutes later, he came out looking sad. He'd failed again.

"Don't worry." I said, "You'll get it next time.

"Rasuto Ikiteishu." Said Mizuki, calling me up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I entered the room, and saw Mizuki, Iruka, and the Hokage sitting behind a desk.

"Let us begin." Said he Hokage.

I breezed through everything, like normal, until I got to the clone test.

I focused my chakra, and it began to swirl around my feet. Blue chakra, swirling around me, almost creating a small tornado. "Clone jutsu!" I yelled as a cloud of smoke appeared next to me, and the swirling chakra dissipated. When the smoke cleared, there stood a pitiful and sick looking clone.

"Sorry Rasuto, but…. You fail." Said Iruka.

I was heartbroken, this was the third time! I walked out of the room looking like I'd been kicked. Naruto must have noticed because he said, "You'll get it next time."

I smiled weakly at him. "Yeah…. Come on, lets go get some ramen."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

As we left the academy, I saw parents hugging their kids and saying 'I'm so proud!' It made my heart ache.
A few minutes later, we entered Ichiraku's ramen stand, sat down and ordered. As we were eating, another person sat down next to us.

"Why, hello Naruto! Rasuto!" said Mizuki.

"Hello Mizuki Sensei…." We said sadly.

"You guys bummed about failing?" he asked his voice full of fake sympathy that went completely unnoticed by us.

"Yeah….." I almost whispered.

"I just wish we could retake the exam somehow!" yelled Naruto, slamming his hands on the counter.

"I have something better." Said Mizuki, immediately getting our full attention.

"Really?" I asked, hope evident in my voice.

"Yes." He said grinning.

"Well what is it?!" yelled Naruto.

"You have to get me the Scroll of Sealing."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Excuse me." I said to the receptionist at the front desk of the Hokage Tower. "We need to speak to the Hokage."

"Do you have an appointment?" she asked in a bored tone.

"No, but this is regarding an important mission given to us by Mizuki." Said Naruto.

"Go on in." she said waving us towards the door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Why hello boys." The Hokage said happily as we came in. "What do you need?"

"We need the Scroll of Sealing." I said.

"What? Why would you need that?"

"Mizuki Sensei said if we brought it to him, we would pass and become genin!" shouted Naruto.

"No, Mizuki lied to you." He said, taking a long drag on his pipe.

"What! Why?" we shouted.

"I've been watching him for sometime now, and I've always had my suspicions that he was plotting to defect. You two have just confirmed that. Here," he said handing us a large scroll. "Take this fake and give it to him. I'll have two ANBU follow you."

"Got it." We said nodding.

As we were leaving, I noticed a mid-sized scroll on the Hokage's desk. It had the name Ikiteishu on it, so while the Hokage wasn't looking, I grabbed it and slipped it into my sleeve.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Mizuki Sensei!!" I called out.

"Hey! Mizuki!!" yelled Naruto.

"Quiet down!" whispered Mizuki, appearing out of the bushes.

"Here you go!" whispered Naruto excitedly, handing him the fake scroll. "Now are we ninja?"

"You? I would never allow a demon to become a ninja!" he said laughing maniacally.

"Why does everyone call me a demon!?" shouted Naruto angrily.

"Because you are one!" he shouted.

"Mizuki Touji, stop right there!" shouted an ANBU wearing a dolphin mask, appearing between Mizuki and Naruto.

"ANBU?" he asked, frightened. "You little rats! You got the ANBU involved?!"

"Damn straight!" yelled Naruto. "And now, you're going to jail!"

Mizuki looked scared looking at the ANBU, but then his expression changed. "Iruka, how pitiful. Pretending to be an ANBU."

"What?!" Naruto and I yelled at the same time.

"So, you saw through my disguise, huh Mizuki." Said the ANBU, now revealed to be Iruka taking off his mask.

"So, you think you can stop me, eh?" he asked putting the scroll on his back.

"No." said Iruka. "I know I can!" he yelled the last part as he threw a kunai.

"Ha!" laughed Mizuki, blocking the kunai with one of his own. "Is that all you got?"

"You know me better than that." Said Iruka, forming a single hand sign. "Release!" he yelled as a huge explosion erupted from under Mizuki.

"Ha! No matter what you throw at me, I can always use a better jutsu! I have the Scroll of Sealing!" he yelled, opening the scroll. "What?! It's a fake!" he yelled, throwing the fake scroll at Naruto.

"Whoa!" yelled Naruto as he dodged the scroll.

Mizuki roared as he charged at Iruka with a kunai. "Now die!" he yelled as he stabbed a stunned Iruka in the stomach.

Iruka crumpled to the ground and started coughing up blood.

Time to see if I can use it! I thought to myself. You see, on the way here, I read through that scroll I took, it was my family history, and our jutsus. "Haaaaaaaaaaa!" I growled out as I channeled chakra into my arm.

Hey kid! 'Bout time you found us! Said a voice in my head.

Yeah, I thought you'd of found us faster! Said a second voice.

Who are you guys? I asked

Us? We are your inner Demon and Guardian.

Which ones which?

I am Lyte, and I am your inner guardian.

And I am Ryuk, your inner demon.

Why did you show up now?

Because it was time. You were attempting to use a family jutsu, and those can only be used once we become active within you.

Okay, just let me use it already!!

As I came out of my little 'conversation', the chakra I had focused into my arm formed a shell around it in the shape of a huge dragon's arm with claws.

"Now for you, demon." Mizuki said, turning to Naruto. He pulled one of his giant shuriken and threw it at Naruto. "Now, you will die!"

Suddenly, a hand made of black and gold, swirling chakra, grabbed the shuriken out of the air.

I threw the shuriken back so fast, he didn't have time to react. It completely cut off his right leg from the knee down.

"Aaahh!" Mizuki cried out in pain. Somehow, someway, he found the strength to hop towards me, and try to punch me.

I caught his arm with my Dragon Claw, "Never. Touch. My. Brother!" I yelled as I squeezed, and my hand and burned through his arm, causing his forearm to fall to the ground.

"AAAAAAHHH!!" he screamed as I ducked down. Naruto came flying over me, foot extended.

"And don't touch our sensei!" he yelled as he kicked Mizuki in the chest, sending him into a tree.

After dealing with Mizuki, we ran over to Iruka.

"Iruka Sensei!" yelled Naruto, "Are you alright?!"

-Cough- -Cough- "Tests be damned." He said weakly, "You two are more worthy to be ninja than anyone I know."

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"So," said the Hokage, pacing around his office. "You not only helped catch a traitor, but you defeated him, and saved your sensei?"

"Yup!" Naruto and I shouted.

"Now Rasuto, there is the small matter of that scroll you took." As soon as he said this, I paled. "I knew I couldn't keep you from knowing for much longer, better now than any other time, I guess." I brightened at his words.

"Hokage Sama, said Iruka standing up. "I believe these two are more than ready to advance to genin, whether they can do the clone jutsu or not!"

"I agree," said the Hokage nodding. "After all, it is not their fault."

"Whaa?" blurted Naruto.

"Yes, you two have more chakra than even the jonin of this village. This makes it harder for you to use jutsu that require small amounts of chakra." He said. "But, you do need to know a clone jutsu to pass…" at this, me and Naruto looked down in dissapointment. "But I think I can fix that." He said happily, causing us to smash him in a hug.

"Thank you Hokage Sama!!" we yelled as we got off him.

"Now, this is called the Shadow Clone Jutsu." He said.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Two hours later, the whole room was filled with clones of me and Naruto.

"Wow, I have never seen anyone get a justsu so fast!" said Iruka, his voice full of awe.

"Well, seeing as they had more determination to learn it than anyone else, it's not suprising." Chuckled the Hokage.

"Betcha' can't tell which one is the real one!" shouted Naruto.

"Well, that's true." Said Iruka, "But only the real ones get ramen." He said smiling as he left.

"Wait!" we yelled as we dispelled all the clones.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Yay!! Its done! Tell me what you think! R&R!!
