AK: Hey, everyone I couldn't help but do this. It's been swimming in my head for months and so here it is! BTW I'll give you two hints about the harem…What of course it's a harem! Hehe, here's hint one the common ones (Example, Houki, Charla, Laura are off) are not in, and older females.

For the next few chapters the plot is before canon of IS.

Enjoy

'What hit me? Aghh...wait...why is it so hard to move and why do I feel so… strange?' A blonde male named Naruto Uzumaki was waking up after an intense battle to save the ninja world. After flailing about for a bit more, he finally stopped when his eyes zeroed in at his very small hands! "THE HELL!?' He mentally screams in surprise. Looking away from his hands he started looking at his surroundings and noticed that he was laying in some sort of basket with a blanket covering his small body and a few baby toys along with a bottle of baby milk lying around right next to him. After taking into account everything that he discovered, only one conclusion came to mind… he was abandoned... and left in front of a hospital.

The baby...err boy tries to remember what could have gotten him into this situation, 'My sacrifice...'

FLASHBACK

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruto and dark haired boy with special rippled eyes were fighting against Madara who was easily keeping up with them. After seeing that they are fighting a hopeless battle Naruto grabs Sasuke's hand to bring him closer and starts whispering into his ear, "Listen..."

When he finishes, Sasuke's eyes widen with horror and he furiously shook his head, "No, there has to be a better way to defeat him!"

Naruto smiles at hearing his words and chuckles, "Of all the times for you to NOT want me dead... but I'm afraid there's no other way around this guy. In fact, this may be our only chance to survive this war. You know damn well that this isn't the first time I pulled something crazy like that... let me do this!"

After a few moments of some deep thinking, Sasuke sighs in resignation as few tears role down his cheeks, "Alright… let's do this! Prepare your jutsu while I'll handle Madara..." without a second thought, Sasuke summoned his susanoo and attacked the warmonger!

Naruto sat down in lotus position as orange pigmentations appeared around his eyes along with yellow toad-like iris, "Sage mode on..." Naruto breathes in deeply as he starts forming his signature jutsu, the Rasengan, from three separate energies. He used all of his remaining Chakra, then Kyuubi's and lastly his sage mode's Nature chakra. "Sasuke! Move your ass, NOW!"

The boy bits his lower lip as he dismisses his technique and ducks when Naruto rushes past him to attack, "Take this! Hyper Rasenshuriken!"

"HAHAHA!" the immortal warmonger laughs maniacally. "Fools, as if your special jutsu could eliminate me! I am the Savior of this world! You cannot stop me!" he declares with a smirk and allows the attack to hit him to prove his point. He will regenerate from the attack within seconds!

Naruto smirks on his own as he coughs out blood when felt his technique collide with Madara, "Heh, I know that... but… you're wrong about one thing. This isn't a jutsu, not fully! The moment my technique hit you, microscopic seals went into your body! The seals have infected your very existence so that not only do three separate chakras tear away your flesh, they tear away your soul as well! You shall never harm any of my friends ever again!" he grins as Madara's body was being ripped apart not only physically, but spiritually as well!

"YOU DAMN CHILD! I AM THE SAVIOR! I AM THE GOD! GIVE ME BACK MY LIFE! DAMN YOU TO HELLLLLLLLL!" Madara screams for one final time as the technique enveloped him completely and when it faded away, not even dust remained of him.

After watching his enemy being getting destroyed, Naruto looks down at his own body and watches how it slowly starts fading away into small light particles as well. So it already began.

The reason for why this is happening is quite simple. While the rasengan used on Madara was quite powerful with the different combined chakras, it still would only destroy his physical body leaving the spirit intact, so Naruto also developed those special seals that would ensure that Madara was erased from both life and afterlife. But to power up those seals, pure chakra wasn't enough. Naruto had to use his own life energy or more precisely, his very soul to power up the technique long enough to destroy Madara. Heh, soul for a soul, right?

Strangely, Naruto was fine with death and even the possibility that like Madara, he will never reach the afterlife. He saved everyone and defeated an insane nutjob of an Uchiha... (No offense to Sasuke, Itachi, and Mikoto)... He will not have the family he always wanted (probably the only good thing for him dying is that he won't have to choose between Sakura, Hinata, Shion, or Shizuka… maybe he will have better luck in the next life, if he ever gets it.) or his dream of becoming a Hokage.

So many unfulfilled dreams… but it's ok… as long as his precious people are safe and get the chance to live out their lives in happiness, Naruto is prepared to sacrifice himself.

When Naruto glances down at his body again, he sees that only his torso and head are remaining and that he doesn't have much time left. He turns to his friend… to his brother in everything but blood and smiles, "This...is your world now… Sasuke… take care of it... never forget… to protect those precious to you… and… never stop pursuing your dreams."

With those final words he fades away into nothingness and the last thing he heard was Sasuke screaming "I PROMISE!"

FLASHBACK END

Naruto smiles. He did it. He saved the world and his friends from Madara and now, it appears that against all odds he was given another chance at life... though if he could complain he didn't want to start over as an infant again. Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

He laid there in silence... being a baby sure is boring. Deciding to spend his time productively until someone finds him, he checks his status concerning chakra….. where is it?! He can't feel a single drop of chakra in his body or any of in the surrounding area! There isn't even a single trace of it in the air! It's like… like…

He was snapped out of his thoughts when a nurse came by and gasped when she saw the basket he was laying in, "Oh my! Who is this little bundle of joy?" she coos as Naruto tries to speak but only baby noises come out. Normally most males would take advantage of the situation where they are being held by cute a woman close to their breasts, but he wasn't sure what was going on at the moment. She brought him inside the hospital and went to nearest female doctor, "Hey Marie! Look, someone left this sweet baby at the entrance!"

"Oh, odd...c'mon, bring the baby here. I'll run a blood test..." she gently grabs Naruto's little chubby finger and pricks it with a tiny needle, but he doesn't release even a small cry from it. She kisses his forehead and speaks gently, "What a strong trooper you are..."

Naruto watches her type away something on some sort of strange machine for what seemed like an eternity. "Hmmm…. strange, there aren't any matches in Japan. Perhaps if I run it on a global scale I'll get results." After some more time passes the doctor sighs. "No matter how many times I repeat the search, I can't find any relatives that would share at least some DNA with him. His parents are most likely unregistered citizens."

She turns to the small bundle of joy that is Naruto and picks him up. "Even if we can't get into contact with any of his family, we can't just leave him for streets either hmm…. I know!" The female doctor exclaims loudly startling Naruto a bit. "Yuzu, call Saint Marie's orphanage and check if they are perhaps willing to accept another child into their fold."

The nurse nods and leaves to make the phone call while the doctor plays with Naruto's hair, "Don't worry little Michael, soon you will have a new home."

Naruto simply gives her a deadpan expression… even if it didn't appear much on his baby face. Who would call him in a name like that?

AN HOUR LATER

XXXXXXXXXX

The nurse was almost crying as she passes Naruto to an older woman named Margaret Gabrielli who is about in her early forties, "I'm sorry for dropping him off on you like this Sister Margaret. He's such a sweet child...I wonder who could have abandoned him like that."

Margaret nods in understanding as she held Naruto in a motherly fashion, "Well, it's their lost. Don't worry, me and the rest of the nuns will take good care of him... of Naruto." The baby giggles as the woman actually gave him his original name.

After saying goodbye, the older woman walks out of the hospital with little Naruto in her arms. A car stops in front of her and they both get in. The driver, dressed in simple civilian clothes, looks back at the duo and couldn't help but smile. "So this is the little child that will be joining us. He sure is a cutie."

Naruto giggles a little as the woman tickles him a before starting the car again and driving off to what will be his new home.

TWO YEARS LATER

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruto was officially two years old now and slowly walks towards Sister Margaret's office. From the talks that Margaret and other nuns had while taking care of him, he came to the conclusion that chakra didn't exist in this world at all. But it doesn't mean that just because he can't use jutsu or any other chakra related skills, he can't become strong in the future. The road will be long but he is prepared to face any challenges life throws at him.

As he enteres Margaret's office, he notices her working on some bills. Upon his entry Margaret looks up from her work and smiles, "Why hello there Naru-chan. What are you doing here?"

"Hey aunty! Whach ya working on? Maybe I can help!" Naruto called her that because most of the children seem to do that so he decided to go along with it. Thankfully, this place had a nun named Iris who was not only a caretaker but a teacher as well. She recently taught Naruto some Japanese, English, and oddly enough, Russian words. He liked speaking his native language so he was glad the nun taught him words he wasn't familiar with from this world. But he still had to be careful when conversing with someone as you don't see children this young speaking Japanese fluently.

The boy has his hair ruffled, "Sorry Naru-chan, maybe when you're older. C'mon, Nina probably started making lunch already."

Naruto nods as he left with Margaret to eat.

FIVE YEARS LATER

XXXXXXXXXX

A seven year-old blond boy was slowly walking around the park and enjoying the serene nature surrounding him. Though he was chronologically seven years of age... appearance wise, Naruto looked like he was ten. You see, the reason for that is because from age four he began his straining. His body functions were finally in synch and strong enough for exercises. Of course, he has to be careful with his training as he no longer has his fast regeneration trait from the previous life. He found out about it when he broke his arm while trying to practice some gymnastics. The end result was that he wasn't able to train for months. He made sure to never repeat that mistake again. But back to the main topic, thanks to daily training and having nothing but healthy diet, his body started to grow at a much faster rate.

It's also a good thing he has all of his memories of his former life as shinobi and even more importantly, his training years with Jiraiya. He didn't realize how bad of a ninja he actually was during his first genin years. The training trip showed him just how much time he wasted away by skipping lessons during ninja academy years. While the teachers did held animosity towards him because of what he held inside of him at that time, they still looked past their hatred and treated Naruto equally with the rest of the students when it came to education. His poor ninja upbringing could mostly be blamed to Naruto himself.

During his years at the academy and before going to the training trip, Naruto always believed that simply having powerful jutsu was all that it took in being a good ninja, so he didn't bother learning much during lessons unless it was related to jutsus. During physical exercises he would either skip them or simply didn't put much effort into them and ate nothing but ramen (not that he didn't enjoy it, thanks to it he did gain two precious people besides jiji) when there were some people who were actually willing to sell him healthy food.

The three years of training with Jiraiya quite literally knocked some sense into his mind and showed him the value of lessons, proper diet and constant training. When Naruto finally returned to Konoha he could honestly say that he was more mature and had grown quite a bit but not much since his unhealthy diet from childhood years already did it's damage.

Now, at this new chance of life all he learned is being put into good use so he wouldn't repeat the same mistakes from his previous life…. and boy did it pay off!

Because of Naruto's growth spurts and a quite mature mind for a kid his age, he is often allowed to help around the orphanage instead of wasting time on unnecessary matters. The nuns even trust him enough to allow him to separate from the main group of children and explore the park on his own. The reason he asked for that was so he could secretly search for some good spots for training.

"Hmph, can't afford to slack off now." Naruto mutters to himself and decided that he done enough searching for today and now it was time to do some jogging around the park.

He ran for about half an hour without breaking a sweat or becoming fatigued and he kept increasing his speed every five minutes. He continued running until he saw something from the corner of his eye. He turned his head to the right and saw a child struggling to get out of some suspicious man's arms who was most likely kidnapping him.

Naruto was thinking that it would best to turn around and run towards his caretakers direction to tell them what's happening, but decides against it as by the time he would reach them, the kidnapper would have already left the park. "Looks like I have to stop him myself!"

Without wasting any more time, Naruto dashes off after the kidnapper. He sees the man heading towards west which is the farthest end of the park and usually empty since there are no playgrounds or anything else noticeable. Heh, thugs were always so easy to read. However, Naruto won't be able to stop him by just chasing after him so instead running through the vegetation like the kidnapper is currently doing, he uses the main road and runs at top speed. He also knew of some shortcuts that can help him reach the destination point before the kidnapper does.

The former shinobi runs quickly but stops when he sees some gardening tools placed not too from a bench, "Maybe I can find something that could help me..." after a quick scan over the items, Naruto finds some rope which usually is used to keep young trees from being blown away and a leaf rake. After picking up the said items he rushes off once more as a plan was already forming in his mind. Naruto manages to arrive at park exit with few minutes to spare so he quickly ties one end of the rope to the gate and then waits for the kidnapper to come out while hiding in the bushes with the other end of the rope.

He didn't have to wait for long as the kidnapper runs out of some bushes with the child still in his arms and...NOW! Naruto tugs on the rope as hard as he can to make man trip on it and drop the child on nearby big pile of leafs, "The fuck did I trip over?" the man asks disoriented but instead of an answer her receives...

WHAM! WHAM! WHAM! WHAM!

Naruto whacks him on the head with the wooden end of the leaf rake. "There! That should be enough to make him stay down for a while." Naruto grabs some of the remaining rope and immediately ties up the criminal. After making sure that the ropes are holding properly he quickly ran up to the child who just stepped out of the leaf pile, "Hey, come on! We need to get back to the populated area of the park...do you understand me?"

The boy nods at his rescuer as they both run towards where the caretakers were at. They use the main path to try and get there as soon as possible, but didn't have to run for long as they spot an older girl, possibly in her high school years, running towards them. Her already incredible pace increased even more after noticing the boy Naruto had rescued. Not far behind her Naruto saw his caretaker, Sarah, running towards him with two police officers behind her.

The highschooler hugs the rescued child while Sarah hugs him. "Naruto! Oh thank God you're alright!"

Naruto, while managing to not be crushed to death, pats her back, "Sorry Sarah-nee... I simply had to help." After making sure that everything is alright with him Sarah, while still hugging, allow the two police officers to question him.

"Hello son, we're from the police. Can you tell us what happened? We know that it was scary but please tell us as much as possible."

"Well, I was exploring the park when I saw a suspicious man carrying that boy in his arms and I could clearly see that boy was struggling to get out of his grasp. I at first wanted to tell Sarah-nee about it, but I was afraid that it would take too long so I left to stop the bad man myself!" Naruto said with his most cute voice while also trying to look innocent. "I found some rope while chasing the man and tripped him with it before he left the park. Then I whacked him with a stick like pinata and tied him up with the same rope I used. Then me and the boy went to look for an adult and… well… here we are!"

(Play xxxHolic - Zashiki Warashi)

The high school female walks up to Naruto and pats him lightly on the head, "Good job kid and thanks for saving my brother." she said softly before looking back at the said person "Ichika! C'mon, we're going home!" she said before dragging the boy away not wanting to bring anymore stress to the two… and to scold her brother for running off while she only went to get some ice-cream.

The two police men nod as they were about to leave to detain the kidnapper, "Thanks son, you're very brave to do that. Be proud of yourself as today you are a real hero!" he declares with a smile before leaving with his partner following close behind him.

Naruto grins happily at the praise before getting bopped on the head, "Ow!" he looks to see Sarah scowling at him.

"That's for worrying us near to death!" the woman says sternly before a gentle smile adores her face, "Still...you did a great job today. You'll grow up to be a fine man one day. Come on, it's time for everyone to go home and today's dinner will be very special!" She extends her hand to Naruto. He grabs it happily and they both start walking back to the main group of children who started cheering when they saw both of them returning.

Naruto couldn't help but smile at their cheers as few tears role down his cheeks. He promises to himself that he will always help these kind caretakers and the children they look after.

The rest of day was spent in celebration for Naruto's heroic deed. Today was a really good day!

(Song end)

THE NEXT DAY

XXXXXXXXXX

Naruto was helping out with the laundry as the caretakers were spring cleaning the main building. After loading the last of it to the washer and dryer, he went downstairs to help setting up the tables while breakfast was being prepared for the kids. As he is about to pass the orphanage entrance, he sees Sister Margaret and Sarah talking to the high school girl that he met yesterday.

"Hey, what's wrong?" he says as the two adults and girl look at Naruto with smiles on their faces. (Save for Sarah who looks she is about to cry) Margaret walks up to him.

"Naru-chan, this young girl here is thinking of adopting you! Isn't that great?" she says with a gentle voice while patting his head.

However, Naruto wasn't sharing her enthusiasm. He didn't want to leave the orphanage since he like helping and protecting the kids here, but having a family was tempting as well since his previous life he mostly lived out alone.

Margaret sees this predicament and gets on an eye level with him, "Naru-chan...Listen to me; you should take this chance to have a real family. You can always come back here and help around so don't think this is the last time you'll see us."

Naruto after thinking over her words sighs and answers, "Alright."

After Sarah brought the necessary paperwork Chifuyu, his now big sister's name, quickly signs them and leaves with Naruto who took only his clothes with him and left his toys for the other orphans. "hmm..."

Chifuyu notices his quiet demeanor and says, "Don't worry about them we live rather close, only twenty minutes away from the orphanage. And you can visit them every day if you want."

"Ah…, thank you. I really appreciate it…...but if I may ask, why did you adopt me?" he asks, genuinely curious.

"Because... after looking into your eyes I can tell that you are strong and I need someone that can protect my little brother incase I'm not around to do it myself." Naruto notices a tiny smile, almost invisible appear on her face, "Just to let you know... I'm very strict."

Naruto gave her an equally invisible smile, "Hmph, I can take it."

Well, I hope that ensnare you to look out for more! Anyway, Naruto won't posses his IS until Ichika's get his. It would too predictable ya'know? Anyway, more to come after Shinobi Assaults on Titan, My Existence Is A Contradiction, and another new fanfic a Inuyasha X Naruto wait till next time also Have a Nice Wheeee!
