So this is the start to an idea that has been running around in my head for a while now. It will be a crystal release Naruto fic, I haven't seen one where Naruto has crystal release yet. I'm not really sure what nature types are used for crystal release and Narutowiki doesn't really say so I am making it earth and fire release. So let me know what you think and if I should continue with more chapters or not.

A twelve year old boy stood atop the hokage monument looking out over the village that hated and abused him for the last twelve years. The boy stood at an even five foot, had spiky blond hair and had crystal blue eyes. His Name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, son of the fourth hokage Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki. As he stood there looking over Konoha, a voice spoke to him in his mind.

"Are you sure about this ototo?"

"Yes Kurumi-nee-chan. If I stay here nothing will change, there are only a few people here who truly care for me. I left them a letter that will be delivered in a week's time. The first chance we get we're leaving." Replied Naruto as he headed for the main gate to meet his team and the client they were to protect. On his walk, he remembered the first time he met his older sister figure.

(Flashback)

A fiver year old Naruto was running through the village on the night of his birthday. Behind was an angry mob of civilians for their normal fox hunt as they had taken to calling it. Naruto never understood why everyone hated and abused him, and it was always worse on his birthday. As Naruto kept running, he turned a corner and ran down the alleyway. He quickly noticed his mistake when he ran into a dead end, looking back he saw the mob closing in on him with sadistic grins on their faces.

Naruto pleaded for them not to hurt him but that only felon deaf years as the civilians began beating him. They used broken bottles, knives, and even wooden clubs with nails hammered in the end of them. Naruto felt each strike on his body, each cut that was left and each bone they broke. Unable to bear the pain anymore, Naruto slipped into unconsciousness.

(Mindscape)

Naruto woke and found himself in a sewer like place with water on the floor and pipes running along the wall. "Come this way little one." Came a voice from down the hall. Naruto decided to listen to it and try to figure out where he was. He came to a large room with a large gate in the middle with a piece of paper with the kanji for seal on it. He walked toward the gate and saw two crimson eyes looking at him.

A woman stepped out of the darkness and looked to be just around six feet tall. She had a rather well developed body and had on a light red kimono. She had bright reddish-orange hair that reached about mid back. What really caught Naruto's eyes was the nine tails flowing behind her and the two fox ears she had on her head.

"Who are you and where are we?" asked a confused blond.

"My name is Kurumi and we are in your mind scape." Replied Kurumi.

"This is my mind? I didn't think my mind would look like this, is there any way I can change it?" Naruto asked as he looked around.

"It is your mind kit, you can do anything you want in here."

Naruto closed his eyes, for a few moments nothing happened. Then the walls and cage was gone along with the water on the floor and the ceiling. All of a sudden Naruto and Kurumi were standing in a wide open grassy field surrounded by a forest. Through the middle of the clearing was a small river that flowed into a pond. There was a two story house that appeared next to the tree line and looked like a traditional Japanese house. The seal that was on the gate was turned into a necklace and appeared around Kurumi's neck. Naruto opened his eyes and looked around and seemed satisfied with his work.

"There we go, a beautiful place to live for a beautiful girl." Naruto replied causing Kurumi to blush slightly.

"Come now, you need to rest a little bit and then I will explain everything as I'm sure you have plenty of questions." Kurumi said as she led Naruto into the house. As Naruto fell asleep, Kurumi started forcing a little of her chakra through the seal to take control of the young boys body.

(Real world)

A red glow started to cover Naruto's body as Kurumi took control. His nails grew longer as his teeth grew sharper. His eyes turned a dark crimson as slits appeared in them. "You dare hurt this innocent child, now you'll see who the true demon is you bastards." Growled Kurumi as she leapt into the crowd of civilians and began tearing them apart. She slashed the throat of one and then snapped the neck of another. All that was heard was bones breaking and blood leaking out of their bodies.

As the demonic chakra receded back into Naruto's body, he fell to the ground still unconscious. A few minutes later, Hiruzen appeared with a group of anbu and took Naruto to the hospital and cleaned up the mess of bodies. After Naruto awoke and explained to the hokage that he didn't remember anything that happened, the kage left and left two anbu to watch over Naruto's room.

Naruto fell back asleep and was woken by Kurumi. She explained who she was, which at first shocked Naruto but after she explained what happened, he didn't have any bad feeling toward the demon fox. He was amazed to find out that he was the son of two famous Konoha ninja, including the hokage that he looked up to as his idol. What really made Naruto mad was the fact that no one wanted to tell him the truth and always turned away from the subject when he asked.

After he learned of where his clan originally came from, it was then he decided to leave the hidden leaf village the first chance he got and restart his clan in his home country. With help of Kurumi, he learned he had a kekkei genkai that was called the crystal release that he got from his mother's side of the family. He also had an affinity for the wind, fire, and earth release. The fire and earth was how he had the crystal release. Kurumi was also able to help him sneak into the Uzumaki compound and seal up everything that was rightfully his for when he decided to leave.

(Flashback end)

Over the years, Naruto and Kurumi had become close, to the point to where they saw each other as siblings. The only thing Naruto didn't like was the fact that he had to play the dead last through the academy years and couldn't show everyone what he was capable of really doing. He also couldn't wait and get out of the orange outfit he wore to further convince people. After Kurumi explained that deception was a ninja's best weapon, he calmed down and listened to his older sister.

Naruto made it to the main gate where his two teammates and client was waiting on him. The only one that was missing was his sensei. After a few minutes of waiting, Kakashi showed up and they decided to move out and head toward wave country.

-XXX-

The group had just finished fighting two Kiri missing ninja known as the demon brothers. Team seven learned that they were sent to kill Tazuna and that there may be other ninja on the road ahead. Kakashi tied the demon brothers up and sent word back to the hokage about what was happening. Meanwhile Naruto was having his own conversation with his sister.

"So what do you think nee-chan?" Naruto asked.

"You can try and convince them to go with you. We will need some strong ninja once we get to Uzu and these two could help." Replied Kurumi.

Naruto nodded in response and excused himself to the bathroom. Once he was out of sight, he made a shadow clone and sent it to hide until the team left. Once team seven and Tazuna was out of sight, the shadow clone appeared in front of the tied up demon brothers.

"What do you want kid?" asked Gozu.

"Release us so we can kill you and then finish our job." Meizu said getting a nod from his brother.

"I am only a shadow clone and I'm not releasing you just yet. I want to offer you a place to call home, you won't have to run anymore. You can either come with me or wait here until the Konoha ninja come and take you back to the hidden leaf and who knows what will happen there." Naruto said.

"Why should we trust you?" asked Gozu.

"I'm not saying you should, but I give you my word and I never go back on my word. As far as I know, I am the last of the Uzumaki clan. I am returning to Uzushiogakure to restart my clan and I will need ninja to help get the village running again. Like I said, I am offering you a place to call home and a way for you to stop running." Naruto explained.

The demon brother talked quietly amongst themselves for a few minutes before looking back at Naruto.

"We accept but you must do something for us." Said Meizu.

"I will try, that's all I can do."

"Very well, there are two more missing nin that your team will meet up ahead. It is Zabuza Momochi and his adopted daughter Haku. They have been running a lot longer than we have, we want you to ask them to come with you as well."

Naruto agreed before cutting the brothers free. "Is there any where you two can hide out until I am ready to leave?" Naruto asked.

Meizu took out a small map and handed it to Naruto. "We will be here once you are ready to leave." Gozu said before he and his brother disappeared. The clone then dispelled itself.

-XXX-

Naruto received the clone's memories just as his team arrived at Tazuna's house. After laying his sensei down in a spare room that Tazuna's daughter Tsunami offered to him, he went out into the forest to train.

"Well, your trip got a little more interesting ototo." Kurumi said with a smile laugh.

"Gee ya think nee-chan. How am I supposed to convince the demon of the hidden mist to come to Uzu with me?" Naruto replied as he made clones to work on his father's jutsu as he sat down to meditate.

"We will cross that bridge once we get to that point kit." Kurumi replied before laying down to get some sleep.

-XXX-

Naruto and his team was sitting around the kitchen table having dinner with Tazuna and his daughter and grandson. It was a quiet evening until Inari spoke up.

"Why do you even bother? Gato will just kill you all the first chance he gets. Heroes don't exist anymore." Inari screamed.

"Heroes exist everywhere, they may not be alive or they may not be around right now but heroes do exist. I have a hero that I have always looked up to, he died the day I was born protecting the hidden leaf village. I never knew that my hero was in fact my father who died the day I was born along with my mother. You knew them didn't you Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked as he looked in Kakashi's direction.

"Y-you know?" Kakashi asked with his visible eye wide.

"I've known for quite a while, I even know that you were my father's favorite student." Replied Naruto as he started to get up.

"How?" was all Kakashi could ask.

"That doesn't matter right now. Heroes exist Inari, my hero may be dead but he will always be my hero." Naruto replied as he walked out the door leaving a very confused team seven.

Naruto made his way out to a clearing a little ways off from Tazuna's house. He decided to train a little more while he tried to figure out a way to find Zabuza and Haku.

"You sure it was a good idea telling the cyclops that you know who your father is?" asked Kurumi.

"Don't know, but he won't bother me about it until we are back in Konoha and I don't plan on going back there right now." Naruto replied.

-XXX-

Naruto woke the next morning to find himself lying on the ground. "Guess I trained a little too much last night." Thought Naruto.

"Indeed you did, but we have company right now. It smells like that hunter nin that was with Zabuza yesterday." Kurumi said through the mental link.

Naruto sat up against the tree he was under and waited for the hunter nin to step out. A few minutes later, a girl that looked to be just a couple years older than himself. She had long black hair and dark brown eyes and wore a light blue kimono. Naruto couldn't help but think that this girl was really beautiful. She stopped walking once she saw Naruto staring at her.

"Hello, is everything alright?" Haku asked.

Naruto finally snapped out of his thoughts. "Sorry, I didn't mean to stare. I just didn't expect to see a pretty girl out in the middle of the forest."

"I hate to disappoint, but I'm actually a boy. My name is Haku."

"I know you're not a boy Haku, males and females have very different smells for one. And for two, I was sent by the demon brothers to talk to you and Zabuza." Naruto replied causing Haku to go wide eyed and quickly make a few ice senbon.

"What do you need with Zabuza and why would the demon brothers send you to talk to them? How do I know you ain't lying?" Haku asked.

Naruto unsealed the map he was given by Meizu and Gozu and handed it to Haku. "They gave me that to find them once I get ready to leave. I offered them a place to live so that wouldn't have to run anymore. They asked me to offer you and Zabuza the same. I just want to talk to Zabuza, if he refuses then I will simply leave and be on my way."

"Fine, but if I see any sign that you try to harm Zabuza, I will kill you." Haku replied with a very serious tone.

-XXX-

Haku led Naruto deeper into a thicker part of the forest. They arrived at a small hut like place that was suspended in the trees by cables. Naruto followed Haku as she jumped up to the door and led him inside. Inside the hut wasn't anything special, it was just a small temporary place to for someone to spend a few nights. Lying in a bed against one of the walls was a bandaged man that Naruto assumed was Zabuza.

"Tou-san, are you awake?" Haku asked.

"What do you need Haku?" Zabuza asked as he turned toward the girl. When he saw Naruto standing with her, he jumped out of bed ignoring the pain in his body and swung at Naruto with Kubikiribocho. Naruto quickly unsealed a katana from a seal on his wrist and blocked the incoming attack. When Zabuza saw the sword, his eyes went wide.

"Is that the Aki no Shi?" (Red Death) Zabuza asked.

"How do you know of my mother's katana?" Naruto asked as he pushed Zabuza's sword away from him.

"So Kushina had a little gaki huh? I once crossed paths with your mother during my younger days before I became part of the seven swordsman. She was one of the few people that matched me in kenjutsu back then. I never believed the rumors that the Uzumaki were known for their fuinjutsu and kenjutsu until I met her. But on to the matter at hand, why are you here and what is keeping me from killing you?" Zabuza asked as he moved in front of Haku.

"For one, you are weakened right now Zabuza. For two, I am a lot stronger then you think I am." Naruto said before Zabuza interrupted him.

"You expect me to believe a genin could stand even a slight chance against me? You're not even a match for Haku." Zabuza laughed.

"Nee-chan, I'm gonna borrow some of your power." Naruto thought as he was surrounded by a red chakra cloak. Zabuza, in his weakened state had to use his sword to help him stand as the blond in front of him directed his killing intent and chakra pressure right at him.

"Don't judge people by their looks Zabuza, I am the jinchuriki for the kyuubi no kitsune." Naruto said as he looked right at Zabuza with crimson eyes. Just as soon as the power appeared, it vanished. "I just want to talk for a few minutes, I just ask that you hear me out before I go on my way."

Zabuza knew he couldn't fight off a jinchuriki in the state he was in now. He also wasn't going to have his daughter fight him either, so he decided the least he could do was listen. "Very well, say what you want."

"I am going to offer you the same thing I offered the demon brothers, a place to call home so you two don't have to run anymore. Meizu and Gozu accepted and asked me to offer you the same before we left."

"Where would our new home be?" Haku asked. She always hoped that she and Zabuza would be able to stay in one place and quit running at some point in time. Hopefully this would be that time if Zabuza would accept.

"In the village of Uzushiogakure in the Land of Whirlpools. It was destroyed during the second shinobi war but I am going to rebuild and restart my clan there." Naruto replied.

"How are you going to do anything with only you, the demon brothers, and us if we decide to go with you? And what about Konoha, why are you leaving there in the first place?" Zabuza asked out of curiosity.

"The villagers never liked me, they hated me and they abused me every chance they got. I only had a few people who really cared for me back at the village and I left them letters saying what I was doing. And I know that there may only be us five for now, but we will offer people a home just like I offered you all, ninja and civilian alike. So I ask again, would you like to come with me?"

Zabuza and Haku talked between themselves quietly for a few minutes before looking back at the blond. "I have wanted to stop running for a while now to keep Haku safe, we accept your offer gaki." Zabuza said getting a smile from Haku and Naruto.

"Are you able to travel like this?" Naruto asked.

"As long as we rest every so often I will be fine." Zabuza said as he stood and placed Kubikiribocho on his back.

"There a room I can change in? I really want to get out of this orange track suit." Haku pointed to a nearby room as Naruto went in and closed the door.

"See, easier than you thought kit."

"Yeah, now we just need to get to Uzu and rebuild it before bringing people in to live there." Naruto said as he began changing.

When Naruto came out of the room, he was wearing a pair of black ninja pants with a print of orange shuriken on each knee. He had a tight, black shirt with orange trim that showed off his developed muscles for a kid his age. He wore the standard black shinobi sandals and a black bracelet on each wrist that had his weapon sealed inside. When Haku saw the new outfit, she couldn't help but stare with a slight pink blush to her cheeks causing Zabuza to let out a small chuckle.

"Seems like I might have to have a talk with the gaki. That ought to be fun." He thought to himself with a sadistic smile hidden by his bandages.

"Alright, let's go get Meizu and Gozu and then we'll head for Uzu." Naruto said getting nods from Zabuza and Haku.

Ok well let me know what you think. Like I said, I don't know if I will continue this or not, it is just an idea I have had for a while. Let me know if you think I should continue it or not. If you do think I should continue with this story, I need an idea for someone to be Uzukage until Naruto is older.

Anyway, leave mea review and let me know what you think.
