Uzumaki Alone

What if no one approached Naruto in time before he became a monster. The kyuubi's demonic whispers from within his mind turn him from an innocent young boy into someone who kills to feel alive.
This is my first story so don't be too mean. hehe

Naruto will be able to sprout bijuu arms from his body while he still looks the same, red and black arms protect him without his will to do so. (look like 4 tails arms) NARUTO IS NOT GOING TO BE INSANE.
In this timeline Naruto and Hiruzen were never 'close' in comparison to canon.

Chapter 1

Uzumaki Naruto was a lonely boy. He was despised by the adults of the village and feared by the children. He had never had someone he could call a friend. Yes the hokage seemed like he cared for the boy but Naruto was aware the man was only being nice to him because he had to. He could see the mix of sadness, anger and nostalgia in the old man's eyes whenever they talked.

Now we find the young blond dashing across the streets and rooftops, running from a man with dull brown hair dressed in a standard konoha chunin uniform. Naruto knew he was hated by the majority of the village however no person had physically attacked him before this day. Personally he didn't care. He had no reason for living and it mattered little to him whether he was alive or not.

A minute later Naruto reached the forest and hid in a small clearing of bushes and trees. However being 6 years old and hiding from a seasoned ninja was no easy task and he was discovered immediately.

The chunin looked down to the 6 year old and found dull dark blue eyes staring into his soul. For a split second he felt fear but immediately shrugged it off. He was a 28 year old chunin. He couldn't die to some brat. Kyuubi host or no, it made little difference.

Naruto could tell the chunin was drunk, drugged or something else along those lines but it didn't concern him. He was going to meet his face in a few moments either way.

The chunin attacking the blond was a man named Daichi. His son was to be born sometime in November but when his wife died with his child still within her on October the 10th he lost everything dear to him. Now with his emotions and thoughts clouded all he could think about was revenge. He assumed that if you destroy the container the contents will also be destroyed.

Daichi drew 3 kunai and threw them at the boy with moderate accuracy. However before they could make contact a red and black clawed arm came out of Naruto's own and caught all 3. The man was too shocked too do or say anything so when the arm dropped the kunai and shot towards him, he was helpless and was mercilessly pierced through the heart.

Naruto stared on in shock and amazement at what he had just done. Blood splattered over his face and a small smile graced his lips as he looked up at the man who looked as if he was on a selfie stick.

It was this scene the anbu black ops arrived upon and immediately grabbed the young boy to take to the hokage's office and set fire to the corpse.

Hokage office

Seconds later Naruto had arrived in the office of the hokage and couldn't help but fidget under the old mans hard stare. He was well aware he had just broken the law but he wasn't in control of his own actions at the time. "How are you feeling Naruto-kun?" the elderly shinobi asked the boy in a straight tone.

"W-What happened?" Naruto questioned the elderly kage."It was like someone else was protecting me while I just stood there..." Naruto drifted off as he recalled the events of the last few minutes.

"Well...it wasn't you precisely."

"What do you mean 'wasn't me precisely'." the boy asked Hiruzen.

'It might be safer to tell him now. With the fox being able to protect him like that, it won't be long before it can contact him. Then I will lose what little trust the boy has in me.' The hokage thought as he stared into Naruto's lifeless blue eyes.

"Naruto I assume you are aware of the night the kyuubi no yoko attacked the village 5 years ago?" the man asked to which Naruto nodded."And you also know that the yondaime defeated the beast correct?" Hiruzen gained another nod from Naruto so he continued."Well the truth is a bijuu is a being made completely of chakra so it cannot be killed exactly."

"Then how did the yondaime defeat it?" Naruto asked.

"Normally to defeat a bijuu you must seal it. The yondaime sealed it into a new born baby as the younger someone is the more...'malleable' their chakra coils are. Therefore a bijuu is less likely to kill the host." The professor explained.

"So that baby was me?" Naruto asked the old man.

"Yes it was Naruto-kun, however you must understand you are Uzumaki Naruto not the kyuubi. Do you understand?" Sarutobi asked.

"Y-Yes I understand. But... what was that red and black clawed arm that came out of my own when that man attacked me?"

"Well being the host of the kyuubi has its perks Naruto-kun. You see you don't contain one of the most powerful beings on earth without getting some useful techniques."

"Really? What are they?" Naruto asked in a monotone.

"Well one of them as you saw tonight is chakra arms you can control yourself however it seems they will protect without you wanting them to do so." he explained to the blood stained 6 year old.

"You said it had 'some' perks not just one." Naruto explained in a plain voice.

Sarutobi raised an eyebrow at the fact Naruto picked up on that small detail however he shrugged it off and began explaining to Naruto the other perk of being the jinchuriki of the kyuubi "Also, if past experiences are anything to go by, you should have an extremely large affinity to fire but it will be much harder to learn to use any other elemental ninjutsu. You will also gain more ordinary upgrades common upon jinchuriki, most likely abnormally large chakra reserves and advanced healing."

Naruto narrowed his eyes and asked "Jinchuriki?"

"Well my boy, a jinchuriki is someone who has a tailed beast sealed inside of them. There are 9 tailed beasts distributed to each of the great 5 hidden villages plus Takigakure. The Ichibi is in suna, Nibi and Hachibi are in Kumogakure, Sanbi and Rokubi are in Kirigakure 'we think', the Yonbi and Gobi are in Iwagakure and the Nanabi is in Takigakure. Each of these bijuu has a jinchuriki host."

To say Naruto was shocked would be an understatement. He'd thought the only thing that came with being a demon host was the abuse and loneliness, not 4 exclusive abilities, 2 of which only owned by him in the entire world.

Sarutobi began speaking again "Back to my earlier question how are you feeling. You just killed for your first time and then found out the nine tailed fox is inside of your gut. You surely can't say your your feeling fine."

To tell the truth Naruto felt amazing. Never before had he felt so alive. However, the blond knew better than to tell that to the most powerful shinobi in his village. He knew the man will find out eventually but that mattered little to him. He decided to lie to the man for both their well beings. "I guess I am feeling a bit... uneasy but if I want to become a shinobi this is something I will have to do and get over." Naruto stated plainly.

The man nodded and then said "Ah. That reminds me, you are going to be attending the academy in a few months correct?" The fire shadow asked to which Naruto nodded dully. "Well I believe we are done here you may leave now, boy."

Naruto's Apartment

Naruto walked through the door of his stingy apartment and suddenly felt an immense pain in his head and clutched it whilst he knelt on the ground. Naruto heard a thunderous growl and then a low angered voice "You loved killing that man didn't you, child" The demon growled inside of Naruto's mind "Only when you kill can you feel so alive. Only live for yourself. KILL TO EXIST BOY!"

Everything the demon said to Naruto made perfect sense. He had no reason for existing before but now...he had a reason to live: to kill.

2 Weeks Later-Training Ground, Konoha.

Upon discovering his chakra arms he trained with them everyday to refine his control. He had a rocky start. Getting them to protect him was no problem, they would do it even if he willed it to stop. Keeping control and attacking at the same time proved to be quite the challenge but now he could easily control one fully sized clawed arm which was capable of crushing any part of a human. Of course he had tested this theory on a corpse he found in the forest and it proved to be correct.. He also discovered just how corrosive they are when a snake slithered on top of one and dissolved immediately. He could control 3 smaller ones which were the same thickness as his own arms but still expandable, clawed and toxic.

Despite his recent progress Naruto knew he needed actual skills to graduate the academy so he decided on first improving his accuracy with shuriken and kunai until he could successfully through 3 at a time and all hit. At first he was abysmal. He began with one projectile at a time but throwing it in the position needed to throw multiple at a time was proving to be more difficult than he expected. After a week of practice he progressed onto 2, another week and now, he was practising with 3 at a time and his results were above average at best. Deciding to call it a day, Naruto began the long walk home.

Streets of Konoha.

Naruto walked through the road with his arms folded across his chest and watched as people cleared a path for the 'pariah of the leaf'. He heard hushed and hurried whispers from the villagers but couldn't care in the slightest. A loud growl boomed from his mind. "KILL THEM! KILL THEM ALL! I DEMAND BLOOD!"

Naruto rushed into the nearest alleyway, fell onto his hands and knees and clutched his skull. He began mumbling to himself whilst a small chakra arm crept its way back into the side of his chest.

Tomachi and Katasi were both men who lost their wives and homes to the kyuubi attack. They were both fully aware that Naruto was not the kyuubi however figured damaging him in any way possible would in turn be damaging the kyuubi. However they weren't complete dunces. They knew if they physically damaged the boy he would remember them all to well and if the boy were control the kyuubi's power they wouldn't possibly hope to harm him. This resulted in them settling for verbal abuse. It was more for their own satisfaction that they could vent their anger and grief out on something without anyone getting hurt. That's what they thought.

Naruto however was thinking very differently. His mother was demanding blood and so he would crush whoever comes down the alley next. No matter who they were.

Tomachi and Katasi both lost the smiles on their faces when they walked into the alley. They thought they would just throw a couple of insults at the boy and leave. They did not expect to see the boy wearing a sinister grin on his face and a huge red and black clawed arm connected to his body. Katasi could only watch on petrified as it shot forward and reduced his friend to nothing but bones, flesh and blood. He was far too terrified to move and so it was only a matter of seconds before he met the same fate.

10 Weeks Later-Konoha Academy

Naruto was sat in the top right corner of his classroom with his arms crossed across his chest and an indifferent look on his face.

It was his first day attending the ninja academy and he found it extremely boring. He could tell the teacher, named Iruka, and his assistant, named Mizuki, both hated him and Mizuki in particular, looked like he would go out of his way to make Naruto fail.

Naruto could tell he was among an important crop of children. It seemed all the clan heads decided to fondoodle with their partners around the same time. There was Uchiha Sasuke a boy who was always happy in class and had civilian girls swooning over him. Inuzuka Kiba was a loud, brash boy who had a big mouth. Aburame Shino was a stoic boy who sat in the other corner of the classroom, hiding his face under his collar. Hyuuga Hinata was a shy girl who had no self confidence. Yamanaka Ino was another loudmouth who spent her time fangirling over Sasuke. Nara Shikamaru was a lazy but genius boy and Akimichi Choji was a kind boy who was always eating chips. They were the only 2 Naruto could tolerate.

The first hours of the day were lectures on the history of Konoha but in the afternoon the teacher announced they would be doing spars to gauge everyone's skill. Naruto knew nobody could hit his so he wasn't worried in the slightest. He was sure they wouldn't mind if he killed his opponent. After all, that's what shinobi do. Kill. After 5 spars from a mix of civilians and clan heirs, Naruto's name was called up along with Uchiha Sasuke's. Once in the ring Naruto looked at Sasuke with his arms folded and a bored look on his face. Sasuke, assuming Naruto didn't see him as a threat, threw a kunai at the boy, initiating the fight. However just before it could get within a meter of Naruto's body it was caught by a chakra arm. The arm clenched it's fist around the kunai and the whole class watched on in shock as it melted in its palm. Naruto himself wasn't even paying attention. He wasn't the one who blocked the kunai. He knew the arm would protect him so he didn't bother to control it himself.

Naruto pointed his own arm forward and the chakra arm shot towards Sasuke, who jumped to the side with a smirk on his face. The last thing he expected was for it to bend towards him again and grab a hold of his leg. Naruto clenched the fist of his his extended arm and the chakra arm also clenched its fist, breaking Sasuke's leg. Now all was left was for Naruto to kill him but before he could do so both Iruka and Mizuki broke out of their shock and forced him to stop.

"Why do you protect him? He lost the fight. He should die." Naruto asked the instructors.

"This was a spar not a death match Naruto. You are forbid to kill your classmates." Iruka replied in a stern tone.

Naruto just turned around and walked away to where the rest of the class were whilst they all moved away from him with looks of fear on their faces. Naruto didn't care what they thought of him things like friends and love would forever be out of his reach. The only person who didn't look petrified was Shikamaru, who was asleep.

Hokage's Office

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. This is what he feared they boy would turn into if the kyuubi found a way to speak to him through his mind. He had just heard a report on the first day at the academy and was not in a good mood. The boy had turned into an unstable jinchuriki and was most likely responsible for the death of the 2 civilians weeks ago. He was ashamed of himself to see the yondaime's only legacy turn into a such a monster. He had hoped that being in the academy, around other children his age would bring out a more humane side from the boy. Although he doubted that would happen now after the show he put on today.

There was a knock on the door and after Hiruzen gave an 'enter' the 'shinobi no yami' Shimura Danzo walked into the room.

Hiruzen sighed. "I take it you are here because of the recent news about the kyuubi jinchuriki." he said in an annoyed tone. Danzo knew Hiruzen would never allow him to sink his claws into Naruto so what was he doing?

"You know as well as I do that I could turn the boy into the perfect weapon for Konoha." Danzo calmly replied.

"And you also know that I will not allow it Danzo. I made a promise to Minato and I intend on keeping it." Hiruzen said

Danzo scoffed "You are not doing too well at keeping your promise are you Hiruzen. The boy has turned into a psychotic killer. My root training will break him out of that illusion."

"And you will also break every other emotion he has, turning him into your mindless puppet! I will not allow it Danzo. Out!"

Danzo began walking out the room but stopped at the door. "You're making a grave mistake Hiruzen. Your softness will be the death of you." With those last words Danzo walked out of the hokage's office that he wanted so dearly.

1 Hour Later-Ne Headquarters

Danzo sat down in his chair while 3 animal asked shinobi kneeled before him.

"Your mission is to incapacitate Uzumaki Naruto and bring him to me. If he seems to unstable to mould then kill him. Understood?" The war hawk asked.

"Yes Danzo-sama" The 3 replied in unison and shunshined away. Danzo sighed. He knew the 3 operatives would fail to kill the 7 year old but he wanted to be sure. If the boy was this powerful and unstable he could become a threat to the village and Danzo knew Hiruzen wouldn't deal with the boy if things came down to it, so he decided to take matters into his own hands.

With Naruto-Training Ground

Naruto was currently practicing his control with 3 large chakra arms. Mastering 2 was no problem as he had 2 of his own arms to guide them, however with 3 he had to use his hands to control all 3 at the same time. Just as Naruto crushed 3 different dummies simultaneously, a kunai shot towards his neck. He didn't need to dodge or try and block as a chakra arm sprouted from the ground and caught it in midair. Naruto turned around to face the 3 masked shinobi but kept his arms folded. He pointed his arm at them and 10 chakra arms came out of the ground and wrapped 2 of them up, burning their skin. The other masked operative was fast enough to dodge and jumped back 10 metres to see the fate of his comrades. The chakra arms lifted them higher and higher until they were 6 metres in the air. Naruto clenched the fist of his outstretched hand and a shower of blood rained over the field. The arms slowly retreated back into the ground and a moment later they disappeared.

The ne anbu had no clue what he should do. There was no way around the boys defence and his attack was just as lethal. He also knew he could not go back to Danzo empty handed. In root, it was die or succeed. You definitely don't abandon a mission, even if it means death.

The anbu jumped out of the tree and faced the young boy. Naruto stared back at the man with a bored look plastered on his face. The anbu jumped back, began forming hand seals and cried out "Katon: Housenka no jutsu" Mini fireballs came crashing down at the blond but before they could reach their intended target 3 large chakra arms rose out of the ground and formed a protective sphere around him.

Each fireball hit the chakra arm and dissipated rendering the anbu's jutsu useless. The 3 chakra arms sunk back into the ground and Naruto pointed his arm towards the man. Another chakra arm extended out of his own and shot towards the man.

The ne shouted "Doton: Doryuheki" And a mud wall rose out of the ground. The jutsu was rendered useless when the chakra arm shot straight through and grabbed the man's head. Slowly the chakra arm transformed into a large chakra arm and the clawed hand wrapped around the man's head clenched and blood flesh and brains splattered everywhere.

Naruto smiled at the sight before walking home to his apartment.

2 Weeks Later-Academy

It was the lunch break and Naruto was sat in his usual seat in the academy classroom leaning into the back of his chair, with his arms folded across his chest. He listened to the other children laughing and playing outside. A very small part of him hurt hearing how much fun they had but he knew he could never experience such things. All he used to want was a friend but 14 weeks ago, when his 'mother' first contacted him, he understood he could never have a friend. That, however, did not change his old desire to have someone to like or love him. It only lessened it to the extent where it hardly existed anymore.

There were only 2 other students in the classroom at the time, Aburame Shino, in the other top corner, was sat talking to his bugs and Uchiha Sasuke, sat in the bottom right corner with his elbows on the desk and hands interlocked. Ever since the Uchiha massacre Sasuke was no longer the jolly, naive boy that he was for the first months of the academy. Naruto was aware Sasuke had a goal to kill the man responsible for the massacre but it mattered little to him.

Sasuke could feel someone staring at him and immediately knew who it was. Uzumaki Naruto. Sasuke was a proud person but even he was a little scared of Uzumaki Naruto. Naruto's bloodlust was just insane. However a part of Sasuke saw it differently than the rest of his foolish classmates. He respected Naruto for his strength and set a goal to surpass Naruto in strength. He figured that if he was stronger than Naruto, he was far closer to killing Itachi and bringing justice to his clan. The problem was Naruto infuriated him. The way he saw everyone as inferior to him and not worth 'proving his existence' as he put it deeply irritated the young Uchiha. He needed to get strong enough for Naruto to acknowledge his existence. If he was not even worth existing to Uzumaki how could he hope to kill Itachi.

He was the only person who would not back down from fighting Naruto. Even the loudmouth Inuzuka forfeited if he was put up against Naruto. Shino didn't ever forfeit until Naruto dissolved 1/4 of his bugs. Sasuke was sure he could beat Naruto in taijutsu but it was actually impossible to fight Naruto properly in that specific art. Those strange red and black arms blocked every attack that came at the blond. Sasuke knew Naruto wasn't using a particular jutsu to use those 'things' but he had no clue what exactly they were. He had even swallowed his pride and asked the lazy Nara, Shikamaru, for help but he had no clue either.

What annoyed him even further was Naruto's results in the academy. Every time Sasuke got the top spot in the academy Naruto would beat it by one or two points. Sasuke knew Naruto could do better and only got a few more points than him each time on purpose. It only angered him further once he discovered Naruto wasn't even trying when he beat Sasuke's scores. Sasuke decided to inwardly declare Naruto his rival but was put in his place in their next spar in which naruto picked him up and threw him out of the arena. The only good that came out of that fight was that Sasuke got more intel on those chakra arms when they began burning his chest when he was being lifted in the air.

Sasuke threw himself into nonstop training every day after the academy to reach a level of strength where Naruto would acknowledge him.
