Chapter 1- Heartbreak

"Wow old man, you mean I can have one?" A six-year-old Uzumaki asked one Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third hokage. Hiruzen smiled and said, "Of coarse Naruto-kun, it is your birthday present." Naruto's birthday, October 10th had arrived and on it Hiruzen gave Naruto one present. This time he decided Naruto should get a head start on his ninja career and had allowed him to keep one book from his library. "I hope some super cool jutsus are here, then I will become the coolest hokage ever!" Naruto exclaims while starting to search through the various scrolls and books. "Minato, you would be proud of your son." Hiruzen thought happily before going back to his desk to do battle with the immortal enemy…paperwork.

"Hmmm… sealing…chakra control…. summoning…BORRING!" Naruto thought browsing the different documents before looking at a big book named, "Alchemy by, Solf J. Kimblee" Naruto skimmed a couple pages of the book and after the words "Beautiful explosion…" was read he was instantly hooked on the book. "Hey old man I found one I like!" Naruto shouted running to Hiruzen. He looked from his paperwork spotting the book's title, and most importantly its author. Hiruzen frowned; he heard stories about Kimblee through various history scrolls and he frightened him. "Naruto-kun, are you sure you want this book?" Hiruzen asked, hoping his tone would deter his adopted grandson from getting the book. Unfortunately Naruto did not notice and nodded his head enthusiastically. "Yeah old man! I am going home to read it right now!" Naruto said running out of the tower. Hiruzen sighed and light his pipe before smoking it thinking, "Hopefully Naruto-kun will be able to redeem the Red Lotus Alchemist's name if he does master what is in the book."

Naruto hugged the book tightly to the book on his way to his apartment. He did not want a mob to catch him and destroy his gift. Naruto hid the book under his shirt as he entered his apartment, looking side to side to make sure the coast was clear. When he saw nobody was there he sat down and opened the book. It was filled with pages of words and diagrams. Naruto frowned thinking, "Aw man words? I hate reading!" Naruto sighed before reading the book. After a few pages Naruto started to turn white, Kimblee's rants about destruction and how human life was pointless clashed with Naruto's ideals of peace and how human life was sacred. What scared Naruto more was that he was starting to agree with Kimblee! "No, what type of hokage would do all that this…this maniac would do?" Naruto thought in panic flipping through the pages only to get more of Kimblee's ideals until at the end of the book it showed two circles with upside triangles having various words on the circles. They were on top of two drawings of hands, which was most likely where they went. In the upside triangle that went on the right hand there was a small circle in it with a dot in said circle. On the other triangle on the left hand there was a drawing that looked like a crescent moon facing to the right. Naruto read how they were transmutation circles, which provided Kimblee the ability to use alchemy to change a material's structure to sulfur, causing the explosions. "At least the maniac made something that can help me become hokage." Naruto thought continuing to read the book despite it having Kimblee's thoughts in them.

While Naruto was reading he heard a small knock on the door. Naruto lifted the floorboards to reveal his secret hiding place that kept his precious few possessions safe from the mob's raids of his home. Naruto placed the book there before placing the floorboards back. Naruto then rushed to the door and looked through the peephole to see a Hyuuga his age with indigo hair place a box with a bow at his door. Naruto opened the door and asked, "Hey what are you doing?' The girl eeped before blushing and stuttered, "Well, I heard it was your birthday and I…uh…" Naruto grinned and said, "Thanks, I can not tell you what this means to me. "By the way what is your name?" The girl looked down and said, "Hyuuga Hinata." "Well my name is Uzumaki Naruto Hinata-chan. And I am going to be the next hokage!" Hinata blushed and said, "It is good to meet you Naruto-kun." "Well I hope we will meet each other again Hinata-chan." Naruto said clutching Hinata's gift and closing the door. Hinata smiled and walked out of the apartment building. Naruto slowly opened the gift, for all he knows Hinata's parents rigged the gift when she was not looking for it to kill him. Naruto sighed in relief when nothing happened and saw a small frog-wallet that looked cute in a girl's eyes and stupid in guy's. Naruto grinned at his new gift before hugging it and saying, "I will call you Gama-chan." Naruto then put his new gift in his pocket before getting Kimblee's book back and continued to read.

Flash-forward six years later:

Naruto looked down at his hands while swinging on the swing at the academy watching his graduating classmates. Naruto sighed remembering how he asked Hiruzen to tattoo the transmutation circles on his hands, which he did but told him not to use them until he became a genin and placed a genjutsu on them. But since he failed he could now never use them and show his alchemy to the village. Naruto looked at Hinata who was looking at him sadly. The two had become close friends for a while and Naruto had a crush on her but had to keep it a secret to keep her safe from the people who hated him. Naruto looked down from his secret crush and could not help but think back on all the things he read Kimblee think about. He shook his head dismissing these thoughts thinking, "I will never admit that maniac is right, NEVER!" Naruto thought disgusted with himself thinking anything remotely like Kimblee. He then spotted Mizuki heading towards him.

Time-skip (After Sacred Scroll Event:

Hiruzen sighed, Naruto was able to secure the scroll and defeat the rouge Chunin Mizuki. Hiruzen was about to sign Naruto's genin registration forms when his door got kicked in. Behind the doors was a tear stained Naruto who shouted, "Why did you not tell me about the Kyuubi and how the yondaime was my father?" Hiruzen rubbed his temples and said, "Your father requested that you would not find out until you turn Chunin." "I do not care! The bastard ruined my life! I hope he burns in hell!" Naruto shouted and slammed his palms on the Hokage's desk. "Naruto started to cry and asked, "What about my mother and siblings?" Hiruzen looked down and did not answer. "So she hates me because of the fox? And she probably made my brother and sibling train to kill me. Fine, I am going back home to rethink my life." Naruto stated while heading out the Hokage's tower.

Naruto then bumped into a woman and said, "Get out of my way." Without looking up he continued his path home. He did not notice the woman had flowing red hair that scowled at him. "Kaa-san, is that him?" A twelve-year-old girl with red hair asked. "Yes Natsumi, that is the demon. Now get Arashi and tell him to hand us the scrolls from Tou-san's home so we can find a way to the kill the demon." A boy with red spiky hair ran up to her and gave her a scroll that read "Dead Demon Seal." And thought, "Soon Minato-koi and Naruto-kun, you will rest in peace." Kushina muttered and opened the scroll. After a few lines her eyes widened and she muttered, "No, it can't be true." She then read more and started to cry. "Does this mean, I abandoned my child?" Kushina thought before reading more and just broke down in a sobbing mess. "Sochi…Sochi please forgive me…" Kushina sobbed out when the twins rushed to her side and Arashi asked, "Kaa-san, what's wrong?" Kushina shakily pointed her finger to the scroll. Arashi and Natsumi started to read the scroll and their eyes widened and they thought, "Kami, what have we done?" Kushina got back up from her crying episode and said, "Lets go find your brother, and I pray to Kami that he will forgive us." The twins nodded and followed their mother to find Naruto.

Naruto kicked the door open and ran to his bed to cry. Naruto never felt so low in his life, he just wanted to go in a hole and cry. Naruto then felt a huge amount of anger and thought, "Screw what the old man said." And then shouted, "KAI!" The transmutation circles once again appeared on his hands. After this he shouted, "AAAAAAHHHHHH!" and made various items in his house explode. After a few minutes of this Naruto started to calm down and thought, "Man, I feel better. That felt good." "Of coarse it felt good." Naruto's eyes widened and he turned around. He saw someone that looked like him only he/it was wearing a completely white suit with a white hat and shoes. The thing that looked like him had completely black eyes and a grin that screamed madness. "W-who are you?" Naruto asked and the thing that looked like him flew his arms and happily and said, "I am what you call your inner self. What you always wanted to become, wanted to think, wanted to say, and wanted to do given form. Only you were to scared to actually do anything." Naruto's eyes widened; his so-called inner self was dressed just like Kimblee! "Yeah right! There is no way I ever wanted to become anything remotely like Kimblee!" His inner self's grin widened which unnerved Naruto and asked, "Oh? Then why, pray tell did you make the old man tattoo his transmutation circles on you? As a matter of fact why did you study his book? Or why did you not return the book to the old man when you read those first few paragraphs?" Naruto looked down crying and said, "N-no I don't want to become anything like him…" "Admit it. You look up to Kimblee." His inner self stated when Naruto just broke down crying and said, "Yes fine! I admit it! Those explosions I made were beautiful! I enjoy seeing others cry in anguish! And by Kami…I-I just don't see a point in human life anymore!" "Then what about that Hyuuga girl?" Naruto's eyes widened and he shouted, "Keep Hinata-chan out of this! She is the only life I give a damn about!" His inner self grinned and said, "We can become one. Become a powerful as Kimblee and make everyone who crosses our path pay." "Fine, lets do it." Naruto said with no emotion in his voice. He then stuck out his hand and shook it with his inner self and in a bright flash of light, only one stood. Naruto opened his eyes, but they were no longer a happy blue, now they were a dark blue that screamed danger. "HeheheHAAAHAAAHAAAAHAAA! I feel awesome!" Naruto laughed before he heard a knock on the door.

Kushina was in front of Natsumi and Arashi looking down. How would Naruto react once he saw them? Would he hate her or forgive her? "Would not blame him if he did" Kushina though sadly. Natsumi turned to Arashi and said, "Brother, you think nii-san will forgive us?" Arashi sighed and said, "I do not know Imouto-chan, but we will try to be a family again…" Arashi was interrupted when the door blew up but they were able to dodge in time. When the smoke cleared they saw a blonde haired twelve-year-old in an orange jump suit with whisker marks and dried up tearstains on his face. Naruto turned to them and frowned saying, "What is it that you want?" Arashi swallowed the lump in his throat and was about to say something when he heard his mother say, "Sochi…We-we want to talk with you." Naruto turned to Kushina and smiled which got her hopes up and she thought, "Thank Kami, he wants to hear me out." That thought was thrown out the window when Naruto crouched down and placed his hands on the floor. Which got her confused until blue lightning shot out from his hands and the floor started to combust like there was a bomb under it! Kushina dodged the explosion. "Aah, that one was beautiful. I so wanted to meet you Kaa-san. You know how many nights of no food and shelter I thought, "Where are my parents? Why did they not love me enough to keep me? Now I know, my father decided to play survival of the fittest with me and the village and my own mother took my siblings to train them for years to kill me." Naruto raised his hands, showing his transmutation circles to Kushina and said, "Now my greatest piece of art will be my own mother and siblings." Naruto started to move toward the frightened Namikazes with Kushina pleading, "please sochi I am your Kaa-san…"

Naruto was about ten feet away from them when Hiruzen appeared with several Anbu and said, "Naruto, enough." Naruto looked at him for a couple of minutes before he backed off. Hiruzen was shocked at the sheer destruction he was walking in and thought, "Kami, did Naruto-kun snap?" Hiruzen then looked at the Namikaze family and frowned before asking, "Kushina, what brings you back to the village?" Kushina then started to shake before stuttering, "I…I…" "She came with the others to finally finish the job. Isn't that right?" Naruto stated. Kushina and the twins just broke down and Naruto snorted before turning to Hiruzen saying, "Now that they are here, there is no need to keep my surnames. I renounce my Namikaze and Uzumaki names and am starting my own clan. You can call me… Solf Naruto." Naruto then handed Hiruzen his headband and said, "Since I am the first alchemist in Konoha my headband will now be a pocket watch with the leaf symbol on it." Hiruzen sighed and said, "Alright Naruto-kun, just know team placements will be in a week." Naruto then gave everybody a gentleman's bow before leaving to get a few things. After all there would not be a Red Lotus Alchemist without his suit.

Danzo nodded to his ROOT Anbu agent who reported to him what happened. "Very well rat, you may now go." The rat masked Anbu shinshunined away without a word leaving Danzo to look at Hiruzen's team placements. "Hmm. Solf Naruto and Nara Shikamaru would make a good demolitions squad but they need a new teammate and someone needs to fill in team seven and ten's slots…" Danzo then signaled a Root Anbu to appear and said, "Bring me Saia, Sai, and Ryu." The Anbu nodded and disappeared before three pale children appeared, two boys and one girl. "I am assigning you to a new mission, Saia your mission is to be on team eleven which is under my leadership to observe one Solf Naruto. Sai you are assigned to team seven to protect Uchiha Sasuke. Ryu you are assigned to be a member of team ten, do not do more than you need to but help them when needed. Is that understood?" "Hai Danzo-sama." The ROOT children said automatically replied and left the room. Danzo then stared at the file of Uzumaki Naruto now Solf Naruto and thought, "Now with you power alchemist, we will destroy all threats of Konoha." Danzo then looked to a stone on the corner of the desk that radiated an eerie red glow. "Oh yes, Konoha shall be great again.
