Summary: Naruto is blinded at an early age and saved by a man who refers to himself as In Caecus Monachus. How will he face the world, and will he still be able to become a ninja? KibaNaru

At the gates of Konoha an old man stood. He was dressed rather strangely and was attracting the stares of everyone around him. He had long white hair partially covering his face, and across his face where his eyes should have been was a red band with a small blue stone. He was wearing bandages over his palms and wrists, as well as his feet and ankles, which were held in place by red bands. The man wasn't wearing anything else except for a dark green set of jeans. The strangest part of his appearance were the strange tattoos scattered across his torso.

'This place sure has changed. It should've only beenseventy years, but this place looks like so much more time has passed. I suppose this is why we aren't allowed to summon from this realm. Time must pass differently, but this shall be the final step in my repentance.' These were my thoughts as I walked through the gates of this strange new city. 'Konohagakure no Sato, I am led to believe that it stands for the Village Hidden in the Leaves.'

Currently in Konoha a young blonde boy was running from a group that was chasing him. He was only five years old, which he had turned today actually, and he didn't know why he was being chased. The only thing that he could think of was that it had something to do with the names he was called and the rate at which he absorbed knowledge. He learnt how to write faster then anyone else around him and only got to practice on the two days the Hokage came to see him. He learnt how to speak rather well with everyone other than the Hokage, either ignoring him or cursing at him. The Hokage was rather happy that Naruto didn't pick up any of the bad words that he heard quite often. Naruto also learnt how to read, but in his defense, a man with a white mask bearing the word ROOT on it taught him properly. Still, he'd picked the skill up fast.

Another thing the boy learnt from the "weird ROOT man" was how to access his chakra. This skill Naruto wasn't taught though. He watched as the ROOT ninja accessed his chakra for a jutsu and Naruto found out how to do the same later that night. Still he knew that he was wrong about the reason. Even if he did pick stuff up fast, that didn't point to him being a "Demon" or "Kyuubi Brat". He also thought slightly about the fact that he was born the day the Kyuubi attacked, but he was unsure why that would matter.

Still Naruto knew better then to focus on anything other than escaping from the people who were chasing him. Just as he thought he had lost them, though, he tripped and rolled into a brick wall, hard. As he tried to stand up he felt a foot slam into his back. Then the blonde could hear a lot of yelling and knew that he wouldn't make it out in one piece as the Hokage thought he was still at the orphanage.

As the fists started raining down, Naruto barely noticed a couple knives coming towards his face. At that moment he screamed in pure terror and pain before the darkness swallowed him whole.

As the strange man walked around the village, he was confused on what he could do that would make up for what he did. As hundreds of thoughts flew through his head, he heard a young child scream. Instantly the man sent out a wave from his palm and his form tensed. Within seconds the man disappeared and as he felt himself reach his destination he let out a palm strike, sending a large wave of energy crashing into the group that had huddled around the boy. Suddenly the man disappeared and when he reappeared he was on the Hokage Monument. In his arms, the boy was shaking and the man frowned.

Before he could react another old man was standing in front of them. "I suggest you put young Naruto-kun down."

The man holding Naruto simply turned his head to face the older male. 'Is he serious, the boy has been blinded by the villagers and he sees me as a threat. What a fool. Still, I see what I need to do to finally be able to rest peacefully. He will never know the truth of who I am, and the name Lee Sin will never be uttered in this world - as I deserve nothing but to be forgotten.'

The man sat the boy down. "Ego sum In Caecus Monachus. Aliquando quid iuuenis, quem locutus sum vobis. Lorem scientiam et viam venenatis erit infixa animo dimicare. Et salvabo vos ex ultima actum est multum in vita mali. Doleo, et redimas ante oculos non auxilium. (I am The Blind Monk. One day young one, you shall know what I have spoken. Knowledge of magic and the way I used to fight shall be ingrained in your mind. It is my final act and it will save you from a large amount of misery in your life. I am only sorry I couldn't help sooner and save your eyesight.)"

As the man finished speaking he touched the blonde's head and faded, going back to his home to die. As the man's form faded away, the Sandaime rushed the blonde to the hospital. While praying that his surrogate grandson would be okay.

A/N: Sorry the prologue is short and to make sure I am clear, League will play no more part of this story as Naruto will use magic and chakra to create his own unique abilities.
