The Truth?
(2nd original timeline)
Location: 200 metres away from Konoha gates.
Time: 3:00 o'clock
----------------------------------------------------------
A small light on the road leading to Konoha,
appeared and vanished before anyone could see it and in its place was a man standing at 6 feet with grey spiky hair and blue eyes that shone, while wearing armour similar to that of the 2nd hokage but grey instead of blue and the fur was removed plus with pockets on the front of the armour like a military vest and under it was a void black shirt and pants with open sandals with bandages leading to the ankle and to top it of he was wearing a brown trench coat over his armour and kunai pouch.
With a calm and collected expression he looked around his surroundings and at his clothes, looking at what he's wearing while giving it a silent approval of his attire.
With a empty voice, because of him sacrificing his identity and his personality as well in the process as payment for his powers but now in debt, he is now on a mission to pay back his debt by killing and taking the soul of Orochimaru for exchange.
'This are good clothes, but I have a choice should join Konoha or should I train my ability's and then join hmmm this is a tough choice I'll just ask sage for an answer'
As he was think a panel popped out, mildly surprising him and by mildly he jumped and grabbed a branch like cat hiding from something.
'Oh that was just my system' a little embarrassed he climbed down and calmed down bit, now looking at his panel he looked at what it said
[Mission given: Decide your ninja path]
[Info: what type of ninja will you be?
A wandering ninja that is not affiliated with no village and no comrades but will have and no resources but will have freedom or a loyal ninja that helps his village or might work for and help a corrupt village the choice is yours]

'Hhhmm this is a tough choice but ultimately I cannot be Bound down to a village after all I love my freedom to choose my missions'
With that thought in mind he chose the non affiliated choice and gaining the rewards but something popped up

'Now this is getting interesting' looking back at the gates of Konoha, he decided to walk there just to scope it out and to see if he could get a contract for money'
[And with that out MC walked to the gates and proceeded to register himself as a mercenary but when his name came up he paused for a few seconds but proceeded to now call himself...]
Nisshoku Otsutsuki
'Oh brother thank god that I was given the ability to understand all languages by my patron as a freebie (mental sigh) well at least I don't have to study any language it would be quite a drag'
At that moment many naras sneezed for no reason.
Our MC could be seen looking around Konoha to get a feel for it as he was looking around he bumped into a civilian carrying a shovel, wondering why he would be carrying one he considered it was a new one but a quick look at it shut that theory down because it was rusty but still usable which to him is quite suspicious even if it looks normal
'what's this all about' he thought as he tailed the man by hiding in the crowds, he followed the man till he was near the outskirts of the village close to the forest he saw a 3-4 people gathered and looking down at something as he slowly climbed a tree to get a better view and what he saw made him freeze then expression twisted into one of Rage.
On the forest floor was a wounded and beaten Naruto who was only 6, bleeding from cuts and deep slashes but his wounds were healing slowly.
Villager 1: Did you bring the shovel?
Villager 2: of course I did are blind I want to Bury this demon quickly so no shinobi show up.
Villager 3: Then hurry up and stop talking!
Villager 2: Fine, fine I'll hurry up.
As he was saying that, a knife attached to a chain pierced his neck but it was then ripped out again and the only thing the shocked villagers saw was a angry man charging them with a Katana and a knife in both hands looking like a wolf who's pup was hurt with eyes as red as the deepest pools of blood and at that moment the wolf lunged forward to his prey.
--(Naruto POV--
"Ooohhh it hurts" and as Narutos said that he slowly woke up wincing a bit even though his injuries already healed there were some deep wounds inflicted upon him he slowly opened his eyes to see an unfamiliar ceiling and after sitting up a bit he saw was in an unfamiliar ceiling as well but his eyes did see another bed on his left and in that bed was a kid his age sleeping and a kid he would see in his class 'sasuke' his mind kindly supplied wondering why he was here he was going to get up and off the bed but winced a bit from pain.
At that moment a voice spoke up.
"I wouldn't get up to fast if I were you after all when I found you looked beaten half to death"
When Naruto heard the voice his head whipped around seeing a man with grey, spiky hair like his in a black shirt, pants and sandals holding two bowls of rice and beef with some vegetables.
'Who is he and where am I?' Were the only thoughts Naruto had.
--(Nish's POV)--
Looking at a young Naruto who's looking at me and with his eyes showing he wants to ask questions I decided I'll answer some if they are not too important in my books
And with that he placed the bowels on each of the 2 kids nightstands for them to reach l, walked to the corner of the room and took a chair and brought it to Narutos bed and after sitting on it I watched Naruto thinking of what to ask
'Now that's a bit odd the original Naruto would have instantly bombarded me with questions, I guess when it meant original 2nd timeline it also meant some changes happened like some typo of sorts'
After waiting for 30 seconds Naruto asked his questions
"Who are you?"
Now that question may seem ordinary to other people but Nish is no ordinary person in the slightest.
But Nish decided he'll answer it in a more simple manner
"My name is Nisshoku Otsutsuki but you can call me Nish for short"
Now Naruto at that moment felt a strange tug in his stomach and something deeper like he knows the name Otsutsuki ignoring the tugs he continued questioning this strange man
"Where are we?"
Now Nish knew that question was coming so answered it honestly to get a little bit of trust from Naruto
"We are in Tanzaku Gai a Town that is 800km away from Konoha"
Now Naruto before Nish answered thought he was still in Konoha but his gut told him to ask the question (Not kurama) but now that he knows he's not in Konoha he's a bit cautious wondering why a random man took him away from the village
"Why are we so far from Konoha?"
Now Nish answered immediately
"You were hurt and bleeding and about to be buried alive by some people that hate you for what you carry"
Nish knew that Naruto was someone who was is not supposed to know about the kyuubi until he was old enough to be told about it by the 3rd hokage but was told by mizuki the worst possible way, however to Nish personally it was a stupid decision to hide that info from Naruto because it's his burden and him protecting the village just by being alive still and that being said he'll tell Naruto the basic understanding of fuinjustu …Well not the actual version just explaining how he is like a glass and kurama is the water that's inside the seal, well to be honest Nish might learn fuinjustu just because of useful it is to know.
Now that at the end of what I said caught his attention
"Wait you know why am I hated?" When Naruto asked this question I could tell that Narutos sense of caution was thrown out the window landed in the trash can and set on fire because it was instantly replaced with hope, curiosity and nervousness, now even though the hooded man took my identity in exchange for all my powers it didn't mean he removed the emotions attached to my identity and soul as I originally thought, my emotions simply are just heavily suppressed but could be triggered by things I like or hate for example those villagers that hurt Naruto but at the moment a bit of surprise popped out for a second because of the quick switch of emotions and at the moment I'm wondering if most if not all Uzumaki's have bipolar disorder and to be honest it wouldn't surprise me at all if they all do have it from birth.
"Let me tell you then, but first what's your name and dreams.
Naruto looked a little down when I just jumped past it and wanting to know his name now and not telling him about his burden but Naruto perked right back up
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto and I'll become hokage BELIVE IT!"
Nish could tell that Narutos emotional mask has already taken root deeply and right now it's at wild fig tree type level of roots which is pretty bad he decided that he should stop playing around and just tell the kid
"Alright then Naruto Uzumaki I hope that you have a open mind right now for the information I'm going to give you"
Naruto moved a little closer to hear what I was going to say and to hear the truth of why he's hated
"The reason is that you hold the kyuubi no kitsune and is inside a seal on your stomach"
