Chapter 1: The Beginning.

One of the Great Five Nations, Konoha is home to some of the strongest clans in the world. It has produced some of the finest shinobi and legendary figures in history. Known as the Village Hidden in the Leaves, or Konohagakure, it boasts a rich history and tradition of excellence in ninja arts.

Located in the Land of Fire, Konoha is renowned for its rigorous training programs and the rigorous standards it sets for its shinobi. The village is led by a Hokage, who serves as both its leader and its strongest defender.

Throughout its history, Konoha has played a pivotal role in shaping the destiny of the ninja world. Its shinobi have been instrumental in countless battles and conflicts, earning it a reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

Despite the challenges it has faced, Konoha remains a beacon of hope and strength for its people and for all who seek peace in the ninja world.

But it seemed that there was only a little hope remaining, for that day was a significant one in Konoha's history. It was the 10th of October, the day when the child of the Fourth Hokage was born, and also the day when the Nine-Tails attacked the village.

On that fateful day, the village faced destruction and chaos as the monstrous Nine-Tails wreaked havoc upon Konoha. The brave shinobi of the village fought valiantly to defend their home and protect its inhabitants.

Despite the devastation, Konoha rose from the ashes, rebuilding itself stronger than ever. The child born on that day, Naruto Uzumaki, who was ostracized by people because he was the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails fox.

It was his own father, Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash of the Leaf and the Fourth Hokage, who did this. He was the one who sealed the Nine-Tails inside his own son. The reason was simple: he didn't have any other choice.

As a father, he knew that it was horrible and that it would make his son's life a living hell. But as a Hokage, he had to do it, and so he did. He sealed the entire Nine-Tails inside Naruto, making him the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails.

Originally, Minato's plan was to split the Nine-Tails' power, putting half in himself and half in Naruto. But during the Nine-Tails' attack, Minato and Kushina knew they wouldn't survive. Kushina asked Minato to ensure Naruto had a good life.

So, she asked Minato to write letters about important things for Naruto and to prepare some things for him. In response to Kushina's plea, Minato, torn between his duty as Hokage and his role as a father, made a critical decision. He chose to prioritize Naruto's future and comply with Kushina's request. So, he made a shadow clone, gave it most of his chakra, and sent it to arrange everything. This left Minato with not enough power to split the Nine-Tails.

That's why Minato sealed the whole Nine-Tails inside Naruto. Before they died, Minato and Kushina sealed some of their chakra in Naruto. If Naruto ever used the Nine-Tails' power or if it broke free, they'd appear to help him and say goodbye.

But the result of being low on chakra and the critical situation made him lose his focus, and because of this, a tiny amount of Nine-Tails' chakra mixed with Naruto's own chakra. Originally, when Naruto was still in his mother's womb, he absorbed a tiny amount of Nine-Tails' chakra. With the additional chakra that he just absorbed, something inside him changed.

The chakra of the Nine-Tails is incredibly potent and volatile. As one of the largest and most powerful tailed beasts, its chakra is vast and immensely destructive when unleashed. However, because it is similar to nature chakra and also possesses very fast healing capabilities, it made Naruto strong. Stronger than he could be on his own. It enhanced his physical power, strengthened his genes, stretching Naruto's chakra coils to their maximum potential.

As a result, despite being only half Uzumaki, Naruto's chakra reserve became as big as a pure-blooded Uzumaki. Additionally, the seal that Minato placed had a function: to purify some of the Nine-Tails' chakra and mix it with Naruto's chakra, continuing as long as the seal remained intact. Thus increasing Naruto's chakra reserves beyond Uzumakis.

Also one more thing that is, Minato found out about his Uchiha lineage during the Third Great Ninja War. In the midst of battle, witnessing the death of a friend, Minato awakened his Sharingan. He later mastered it to a degree surpassing any other Uchiha he knew of.

During another mission, he lost two of his students and awakened his Mangekyo Sharingan. However, he kept this secret because he didn't know who his parents were and couldn't answer questions about his heritage. The fact that he had bright yellow hair instead of the typical black hair of the Uchiha made it even more difficult for him to reveal his identity. He tried to find out why he had different hair than other Uchiha, but even after conducting extensive research, he wasn't able to find any answers. As a result, he came to the conclusion that one of his parents must have had yellow hair, or one of his parents wasn't Uchiha and had different hair.

He only revealed his this secret only to his closest confidants: Jiraiya, his sensei whom he regarded as his father; Kakashi, his student whom he looked upon as his son; and Kushina, his wife.

Now, his son Naruto, also possessing Uchiha blood but he is only half-blooded Uchiha however because of the changes and the Nine-Tails' chakra enhancing his genes, Naruto will have the visual prowess as strong or stronger than those of pure-blooded Uchiha. Minato understood this well and gathered what little chakra he had left to create one more shadow clone. He ordered it to inform Kakashi and make him aware of Naruto's heritage. He instructed Kakashi to remove his eyes so they could later be used by Naruto.

Minato learned about the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan when he snuck into the Uchiha compound and read the entire Uchiha library. He stumbled upon the Uchiha stone tablet, which piqued his curiosity. After reading it, he discovered the existence of the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Knowing that Naruto might awaken the Sharingan and Mangekyo Sharingan in the future, Minato ensured that Naruto would have access to absolute power from the Sharingan.

Minato's decision underscored his commitment to ensuring Naruto's access to the full extent of his inherited abilities and potential.

But all this happened five years and eleven months ago. Now, we can see a boy who is almost six years old walking in the outskirts of Konoha. Right now, the said boy is behind the Hokage Monument, strolling around the forest area.

The said boy possesses shoulder-length, bright yellow hair, which transitions to red towards its ends, indicating his Uzumaki lineage. His hair is also messy, slightly shadowing his right eye, reminiscent of the Uchihas' in addition, he has bright azure ocean-colored eyes. Standing at an impressive height of 4'3 feet, this is Naruto Uzumaki, renowned as the jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails and the offspring of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki, known as the Red-Hot Habanero, though this information is known only to four individuals.

They are Jiraiya the Toad Sannin, Kakashi the Copy Ninja, Might Guy the Konoha's Noble Green Beast, Itachi the Prodigy of Uchihas, Shisui the Teleporter, and Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of the village. Originally only four individuals who were aware of this, but one day Kakashi had told the truth about Naruto to his eternal rival Might Guy. And Shisui told about the truth of Naruto's parents to Itachi, and that's why there are six people who are aware of this.

Naruto is an exceptionally intelligent boy, a born genius whose talents surpass even those of Kakashi, Itachi, and Minato, who are once-in-a-lifetime prodigies.

Despite his tender age and the ostracization he faces from villagers, Naruto exhibits remarkable maturity, demonstrating a profound understanding of human psychology and behavior. He possesses an innate ability to comprehend the complexities of human nature, adeptly navigating social interactions and relationships, grasping how people's minds work.

By nature, Naruto is mature, inheriting traits from both his mother and father. He is kind and gentle yet ruthless, reserved, and prone to assigning peculiar names to things, much like his father. Additionally, he can be goofy, hotheaded, impulsive, and prideful, traits inherited from his mother, though more aligned with his father's side. He only displays this goofy side to those with whom he shares a close bond.

For as long as he could remember, Naruto had been alone, with no one to call family or even someone he could consider family. The villagers always avoided him, never speaking with him. They even advised their children to keep their distance from him. While they didn't openly show hostility by attacking or assaulting him, they shunned him, making sure to maintain their distance.

However, there were a few exceptions. There was Teuchi, the ramen stall owner, and his daughter, Ayame. Additionally, there was an ANBU operative who kept watch over him. Sometimes, when Naruto found himself in tough situations, this ANBU would discreetly come to his aid. Although the ANBU tried to conceal their identity from Naruto, he sensed their presence on more than one occasion.

Then there was the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. But to Naruto, he was just an old man. Hiruzen had provided Naruto with his own apartment after the orphanage kicked him out some time ago. Since then, Hiruzen had been visiting Naruto on a monthly basis, providing him with money to live. However, despite Hiruzen's attempts to act like a grandfather figure, Naruto couldn't shake the feeling that Hiruzen had ulterior motives. Because of this, Naruto didn't trust Hiruzen completely.

But despite receiving this kind of treatment from the villagers, Naruto didn't hate them, nor did he hate the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He simply didn't care about them. To him, whether they lived or died didn't matter because they never had any connection with him, and he didn't want to have any connection with them either.

But still, despite all of this, Naruto yearned for one thing, and that is his parents. He has realized that his parents are not alive because if they were, they would have met him at least once, even if they hated him.

So there is only one option, and that is his parents are dead. Naruto is also okay with it because if they are dead, then it's only natural that they won't be able to meet him or take care of him. But still, even if that's the case, Naruto at least wants to know their identity, their names, who they are.

Because of that, he has asked Hiruzen many times about who his parents are, but Hiruzen always said that "when the time comes", he will tell him. This response only fueled Naruto's suspicions, leaving him wary of Hiruzen's intentions and less trusting of the village's leader.

At this moment, with nothing else to do, Naruto decided to take a leisurely stroll around the village outskirts, immersing himself in the tranquility of nature. While wandering, he stumbled upon a seemingly ordinary house nestled within the dense forest behind the Hokage monument. Intrigued by this unexpected discovery, Naruto's curiosity was piqued. Eager to uncover more about the mysterious house, he started to head towards it, eager to satisfy his curiosity and uncover any secrets it may hold.

Little did he know, it was going to change his entire life.
