Chapter 1- Sensei's
It was already late afternoon in Konoha. Everybody was going back to their homes. Naruto on the other hand was brought outside the village; he was deep in the woods. He was getting beaten up by five adult men. He was being punched and kicked at by the adults. The 5 year old Naruto couldn't take the pain anymore, he then fell unconscious. The 5 men took the opportunity and picked him up and put Naruto away from the village. Throwing him like a sack to the ground the 5 men cheered as they 'successfully' got rid of the 'kyuubi brat'.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sasori, Deidara, Itachi and Kisame were walking down the road. Not being Akatsuki but just being S-class missing Nins they just wore their usual attire. They still had their group cloak but it didn't have red clouds on them but they had colored linings. Sasori's was brown, Itachi's was red, Deidara was white and Kisame's was blue.
While walking they saw a figure up ahead it wasn't moving it laid on the ground lifelessly. As they came up to it they noticed that it was a 5 year old boy with blonde hair.
"Itachi-san, this kid is still alive but just barely!" Kisame said as he checked Naruto's pulse
"From the looks of it he was beaten up by someone." Sasori calmly said
"Hmmmmm he looks kinda familiar. . . . . ." Itachi said
"It's Naruto the kyuubi's container" he said
"Well then what should we do?" Deidara asked
"I guess he should come with us." Kisame said
"What the boy could get killed if we let him stay around us!" Sasori said angrily
"It would be for the better Sasori, I understand that you don't want to get the boy killed but if we let him stay here he will get killed by the villagers. Jinchuurikis, no matter what village they belong, are treated badly." Itachi said
"But if he stays with us he'll be in danger all the time!" Sasori added
"Calm down Sasori, Itachi is right he can get killed in that village. If he stays with us we can protect him from danger anytime. Besides we could teach the boy to fight" Deidara said
"Okay fine. At least I can teach him some of my special techniques!" Sasori said
"Hey who said you will teach him! I'm the one who's going to teach him." Deidara shouted
"I'm the one who's going to teach him bastards!" Itachi said
"Oi! We could all teach him but first we need to treat his injuries." Kisame said.
"No worries Kisame. Kyuubi will heal those injuries" Itachi said but still he walked to Naruto and wrapped his injuries with bandages
"He's going to be fine. Let's continue going to Suna" Itachi said as he carried Naruto. They then began to walk towards their destination.
XXXXXXXX
The five began to walk to Suna. Naruto still hasn't woken up; Itachi just said that maybe he was stressed out. Sasori was now the one carrying Naruto. He didn't want to carry him so he then made a Kage Bushin and made it carry Naruto.
While walking they had been talking about what to do with Naruto and has finally decided to make Naruto their successors. Sasori will teach him Puppetry while Deidara will teach him the art of Explosions. Itachi will teach him Ninjutsu and genjutsu while Kisame will teach him Taijutsu and Kenjutsu.
It had been 2 hours already and Naruto was starting to wake, so the Sasori bunshin stopped on his tracks and called the four. Naruto was stirring up and was opening his eyelids.
"What . . . am I . . . doing . . . here?" Naruto asked
"Naruto-kun! Konichiwa!" Deidara said surprising Naruto. The clone then put him down and poofed away
"Don't worry Naruto you'll get used to it" Sasori said as Naruto looked at him confusingly
"Hey brat glad you woke up!" Kisame said
"Kisame! Konichiwa Naruto-kun, are you alright?" Itachi asked
"Yes. . . Are you going to hurt me?" Naruto asked Fear evident in his eyes
"Nope kiddo! In fact we were the ones who saved you." Kisame said
"Arigato Gozaimasou! But who are you?" Naruto curiously asked
"I'm Kisame" Said the man who had blue skin and a large sword
"I'm Deidara" A blonde man said
"I'm Sasori" this time the man had red short hair
"And I'm Itachi" A man who had red eyes and black hair said
"I'm Uzumaki Naruto! I will be the greatest Hokage ever!" The 4 men laughed at the energy of the small boy
"Well if you want to become Hokage we will be glad to help you achieve your dream Naruto" Itachi said while Naruto bounced up and down
"But first we need to buy you some new clothes and some materials and weapons. We'll go to suna and buy the things there." Itachi said
"Hai! Nii-san!" Naruto said
"We'll let's get going!" Kisame said
"Okay Naruto come here and I'll carry you on my back." Deidara said
"No! I don't want to. If I want to be Hokage I'll have to train hard! And this is my first training" Naruto said he then ran up ahead.
"Well we got ourselves some great kid don'tcha think" Deidara said as he ran after Naruto followed by the three others.
XXXXXXXXXX
Several hours passed. As time seemed to pass, Naruto who was ahead of the group started slowing down until the others got to him. Surprisingly for a five year old he seemed to have stamina of a Chunin's. They were now in the desserts
"Hahahaha . . . The brat's tired!" Kisame teased Naruto
"Hey I'm just a kid you know! I didn't even have any training but I still got this far!" Naruto shouted
"Whatever shrimp . . . You'll need a lot~~~ of work till you reach your goal. And when I mean a lot, I mean a whole LOT!" Kisame said laughing
"Oi you'll see! When I become Hokage I'll make sure I'll be the one to laugh at your sorry face!" Naruto replied getting angry
"Oh . . . . Sure~" Kisame said still laughing
"Kisame stop it now you too Naruto!" Sasori said demandingly
"Sorry Saso-nii" Naruto said looking down on the ground
"Naruto I'm not mad at you. Can you just keep your voice down while we travel? We four are not exactly friendly ninjas. We are known as S-class missing Nins, for we have committed crimes and abandoned our villages. Itachi is a missing ninja from your home village, Konohagakure. Kisame is a missing ninja from, Kirigakure. I am a missing ninja from, Sunagakure and Deidara is a missing ninja from, Iwagakure." Sasori said.
"Itachi-nii came from Konoha?" Naruto asked
"Yep and he was even an ANBU captain before he left. He's part of the famous clan known as The Uchiha's" Deidara said with a grin
"Wow Itachi-nii is great!" Naruto exclaimed
"We are all great Naruto. Sasori is known as Sasori of the Red Sand. As he created many great puppets. Kisame is a member of the Seven Swordsman of the Mist; he is also included in several assassinations. Deidara is a great bomber. He was popular for being hired in many kinds of things." Itachi said
"I'll be famous one day too! I'll have many known names. Just till you wait I'll be known in the whole world!" Naruto said.
"I'm sure you will Naruto" Itachi said with a small smile gracing his lips.
The group continued on walking until the sun set. They made their camp and put on a camp fire. Itachi was there watching over their food, Kisame was just plainly sitting watching the fire, Deidara and Sasori were the only ones who were busy fixing up the tents. As for Naruto he was laying down on the sand watching the stars. He was busy thinking of the past and present. Thinking also about the future on what he would do. Broke from his train of thoughts he stood up and saw that Itachi was already finished cooking. Sitting near Kisame, he also watched the fire.
"Geez, I hate fixing up tents." Deidara said as he sat down near Naruto. Seeing the boy busy in thought he also looked at the fire and began talking.
"Neh Naruto~~~" Deidara said waving his hand in front of Naruto's face, trying to get the blonde's attention.
"Um . . . what?" Naruto said as he turned to face Deidara.
"I just wanted to ask. What happened to you while you were in Konoha?" Deidara said. He quickly saw the change of emotion in Naruto's eyes. They were cloudy as if he were trying to block the memories away.
"Everyday was like a challenge to me. A challenge of Survival. When I got kicked out of the orphanage I had no where to go to. When a mob chased me I couldn't fight back at them because then I'd be a true monster that they see me as. I was famous being called as monster. Jiji-san was the only person I considered as family while I was there. He taught me things, cared for me and saw me as me." Naruto said. Surprisingly for a five year old he didn't seem to talk like one.
"It hurts when people call you names your really not isn't it?" Deidara said he understood the pain well
"When I was small I was bullied by others because I got mouths on my hands." Deidara said
"When I got these mouths I was terrified but when time passed I got over it and used these mouths to my advantage and began on the Art of Bombs." Deidara said
"Naruto what he's trying to say is that doing let what the villagers say get to you. They are just afraid of how strong you will become." Itachi said handing naruto a bowl of soup.
"We have to tell him now Itachi, It's for the better" Sasori said with Kisame nodding his head in approval.
"They are right Itachi it's for the better" Deidara said in approval too
"Fine if all of you say so" Itachi said
"What are you going to tell?" Naruto said with a raised eyebrow
"Naruto you know the villagers when they call you monster they are not saying it to you but they are pointing out Kyuubi who is LOCKED inside you. For you to understand this better it's is better to tell you the story from the beginning." Itachi said. Naruto was beginning to understand a bit
"5 years ago, the great Kyuubi attacked Konoha. The reason is unknown. On the same night the wife of the Yondaime Hokage was giving birth to the Hokage's only son. While I and the other ninjas tried to hold back the Kyuubi from entering the village the Yondaime was waiting his first son to be born. When his son was born to the world he named him Naruto" At this time Naruto's eyes grew in shock "He kissed his wife the last time and went to the battlefield carrying his beloved son with him. He summoned Gamabunta-sama and did his final battle. Finishing his life and sealing Kyuubi inside his son. He said to the Sandaime to treat Naruto, his son, the hero of Konoha." Itachi said finishing his story. Naruto's face was facing the ground silent tears streamed down his face.
"I'm kyuubi's holder?" Naruto said "I truly am part monster!" he shouted
"No you are definitely not part monster Naruto!" Deidara said
"But I am not a normal human either! You don't hold a fox inside you!" Naruto said. He now faced every one of them, letting them see his tears
"I know we don't carry a Bijuu like you Naruto and you definitely are not a normal human because I know that a normal human won't be able to survive the pain you have been through." Sasori said walking to Naruto gently putting a hand on his shoulder
"Sasori is right Naruto. I believe that a normal human won't survive what you have been through. You are destined for great things. Everyone will know of you and A day will come where everyone will bow down to you." Itachi said
"Itachi's right brat. You should believe in yourself. Trust in yourself. You don't know maybe Kyuubi will even help you someday in achieving you dream." Kisame said with a smile
"You four don't think I'm part monster?" Naruto asked. His tears stopped flowing.
"Of course we don't" Sasori said
"Now that we are done talking how about we eat then go to sleep. Tomorrow we arrive Suna it's going to be a hard time trying to sneak in without anyone noticing" Sasori said
After the revelation Naruto who was quite tired from the day happenings quickly went to his tent and slept. The other four who was quite fine just stayed around the fire some more before going into their own tents.
XXXXXXXXXXXX
Early morning the sun wasn't even rising yet, the four woke up and started packing up their things. Itachi was busy covering up the tracks they left. Kisame was also busy making sure that their scents were covered. Sasori was busy seeing how long was it that far from Suna. Deidara who used his clay bird flew over their camp seeing if there were any people who were near their camp. Naruto on the other hand was busy. . Sleeping. His lazy butt didn't even move when Itachi shouted.
"If this brat doesn't want to get up in a minute. I'll make Itachi to definitely use that jutsu." Kisame said kicking a rock
"BE patient Kisame. I am not going to do that jutsu at naruto he is far way too young, he might have a trauma." Itachi said
"But he is making us wait!" Kisame said
"Shhhhhh! Its okay to shout since there is no one around but it's better to be safe" Deidara said getting down from his clay bird
"Kisame he is still a young boy let him rest. Yesterday a lot happened, just let the boy rest" Sasori said
"I know but we're wasting precious time here people!" Kisame shouted
"Then I'll just carry him" Itachi said
Itachi gently lifting up the boy carrying him bridal style. Deidara who saw Naruto's things sealed them up in his storage scroll. After this they started heading to Suna.
XXXXXXXXX
The group had finally made it to Suna. Half way to their trip they had to stop because of Naruto waking up, hungry. This was the time when the four missing nins discovered the large appetite of the jinchuuriki. All of their food was eaten away. After this happening they resumed their way going to Suna. They made it by late morning arriving on a perfect time when the people were just starting to open their stores. Sneaking their way inside the village was pretty easy until Naruto, who had a big mouth, shouted, they were almost. Almost caught.
"Well let's start buying some clothes for Naruto then we'll head to the weapon shop!" Kisame said sounding excited to go to the weapon shop
"We need something fit and great for Naruto" Deidara said
"Something not too bright" Itachi said
After 30 minutes they already bought naruto's clothes. They picked 3 orange t shirts, a sleeveless black jacket with Naruto's favorite swirl behind. And 3 plain black shorts. They also got him a pair of black ninja shoes.
"Now let's go to the weapons shop!" Kisame said excitedly
"I need a lot~ of kunai and sebons for my puppets." Sasori said
"I need more explosion tags! Yeah !" Deidara said happily
"And you're the one who's going to pay Itachi!" the three said while pointing Itachi. Itachi cried anime tears as he knew the three would buy many weapons
"Yeah! Yeah! I wanna buy tooo!" Naruto said excitedly jumping up and down. Itachi cried harder
"Okay let's go" Itachi said sadly
They bought plenty of weapons. The most that they bought were kunais and shurikens. Deidara bought plenty of clay and explosion tags. Kisame bought a new sword sheath.
Naruto who did not know what to buy asked help. Kisame bought Naruto a new sword. A sword which wasn't that heavy for the age of Naruto. Deidara bought Naruto his clay pouch and some clay. Sasori , who had loads of puppets, just said to Naruto to pick different kinds of weapons he wanted to equip his puppet and Itachi bought Naruto his kunai pouch and holster. Itachi bought some scrolls and books that Naruto will have to study and learn about. When the cashier asked them to pay, the three ninjas and the jinchuuriki gave the cashier a smile and happily pointed Itachi. Itachi on the other hand cried as his money was spent away.
"Well now that we have the things we need let's start training" Kisame said
"Okay so here's what we are going to teach you Naruto. Sasori will teach you puppetry and Deidara will teach you the Art of his Explosions. I will teach you ninjutsus and genjutsu while Kisame will teach you kenjutsu and taijutsu." Itachi said
"For these coming years Naruto we will train you to your limits and we will choose you as our successor." Itachi added. The four ninjas smiled as Naruto nodded in determination
XXXXXXXXXXX

3rd and 4th year Ninjutsu and Genjutsu
5th and 6th year Art of explosions and Puppetry
7th and 8th year Akako's Training and Jiraya's Training
XXXXXXXXXXX
There were 5 men walking down the road. They were wearing black cloaks with color linings and also wore straw hats that covered their faces.
From left to right were Kisame, Itachi, Naruto, Sasori and Deidara
"Naruto we're almost to Konoha excited?" Deidara asked
"Yup!" Naruto grinned
"Naruto just don't show off too much" Itachi warned the hyper active ninja
"Hai nii-san" Naruto said
The boy had grown strong these past few years. He has mastered puppetry, and already had 50 strong and unique puppets. He also now mastered the Art of explosions. He mastered almost 500 techniques and his genjutsu, taijutsu and kenjutsu were awesome. His speed could rival the Yondaime Hokage. Strength could rival Tsunade. All in all he was in the rank of elite jounin. His nii-sans were very proud of him.
His clothes also changed. He now wore an orange t-shirt with a black sleeveless vest over it. The vest had a red uzumaki clan swirl at the back. He wore black cargo pants and black ninja sandals.
His pouch and clay pouch were strapped to his waist while his holster was strapped to his left thigh. His large sword was strapped to his back. On his arms were seals of his top 10 puppets.
His top ten puppets were made by him and they had special techniques and such.
His hands also had that mouth thing that Deidara had except they were much smaller. He was about 5'3 and had fined toned muscles. The 4 hadn't changed much except for Sasori who was always inside his puppet Hiroku and Itachi now always activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"Naruto remember what we taught you don't show your emotions when you have an enemy near by and also don't show off you power too much" Sasori said
"The most important thing is about not using THAT chakra" Kisame said.
"Hai" Naruto replied. The group suddenly stopped when they saw the gates of Konoha up ahead
"Well this is goodbye Naruto!" Itachi said
"naruto-sama please take good care of your self" Sasori said with a smile gracong his lips
"Even if I'm the leader I'm still younger than you, you don't have to really call me that Sasori-nii" Naruto said as he went to Sasori to give a hug
They said their goodbyes and went in their separate ways. . . . .

As Naruto Walked into the village he was nervous yet excited. Nervous of what to say to the Hokage, and was excited because he was now officially going to start his journey as a ninja. He walked down the streets of Konoha he noticed that there were some people who stared at him with fear or curiosity.
He heard some people whisper 'That must be the kid that is with the group called Azure.' Naruto just smirked knowing that his group was getting famous in the shinobi world. Naruto was the organization's leader as for being able to beat Sasori, Kisame, Itachi and Deidara. He was known for the leader of the group because his cloak was color blue and had black linings on it. He was known as for 'The successor of the four' and as the 'Blue ghost'. Even though he was a kid he had pretty much beaten all most 20 S-class Nins. That would be including his nii-sans and others
Deciding to not waste time walking he just used shunshin and got directly inside the Hokage's room. Without wasting time he knocked out the ANBUs placed in the room. Knocking them out was a piece of cake. After that the Hokage stood shocked. In front of his table stood the S class ninja known as the, Blue Ghost.
"Why are you here?" The third said with a demanding and serious voice
"Hokage-sama please calm down. I came here to talk and stay" Naruto said. He still did not remove his hat.
"Stay? Please explain" Sarutobi asked
"Jii-san have you forgotten me?" naruto said dropping his hat to the ground. The third was frozen shock in place. The boy that was found missing now stood in front of him.
"Naruto?" The third stuttered.
"Well looks like you do still remember me!" Naruto said with a smile
"Where have you been all these years?"
"I have been to many places. But to tell you all I'll just tell you the whole story" Naruto said
Naruto told the story from the beginning up to the part where he and his nii-sans went to their separate ways. The third was speechless.
"Well since you're here that means you want to become a ninja?" Sarutobi asked while naruto nodded in approval.
"Would like it if I place you already in the jounin ranks?"
"I would like to start from the beginning. If that is so, will I still have to join the academy?" Naruto asked
"I'll just place you in this year's graduating class" The third said
"Arigato jiji-san" Naruto said bowing in respect
"Now that we settled that, I'll give you the address to your father's house." The third said
"The house is no normal house it is more like of a palace. You should go check it out" Sarutobi said
The Namikaze Household was BIG! It really was like a palace. The outside of the house stood two large metal gates. Opening it using his blood, he saw a large yard. Sakura trees were seen and bushes too. There was also a tiled path going to the main door of the house. Pushing the large wooden doors open Naruto was awed at the sight. Inside the walls were painted white and had ornate gold designs crafted all well.
There was also a human size picture of both of his parents. Naruto stared at the picture trying to feel as if the two persons on the picture were beside him. His fathers golden hair matched his but had more spikes and his mothers liking for the color orange was also the same with his.
Continuing his exploration in the Namikaze Palace he saw the living room that had the space for 30 people, it had still the same white walls with the golden carvings and had orange sofas and chairs. There he saw a LARGE television with great sound system.
The kitchen had a large refrigerator and had a medium sized table. But there was also a door that leads to the dining room that had a large table great for parties.
The kitchen had all the cooking materials known to man. And to his sadness he found a cabinet that had the label RAMEN but had nothing in it. Making a mental note 'Buy food' he left the kitchen and continued his exploration.
Going up the 2nd floor he found 20 rooms that only contained a simple bed and a bathroom inside, up the 3rd floor there was 15 rooms much larger than that of the 2nd floor. The fourth floor had 10 rooms, which had a big bed a cabinet a small television and a much bigger bathroom. Up to the last floor Naruto went. He only found 2 doors.
The first door was a wooden door which had a big swirl carved. Opening it he saw his parent's room. It was big! There was a large bed, 2 book cases, a T.V. And a room where the bathroom was found.
The 2nd door was the one which shocked him most. It was a gigantic Library. It was filled with LOTS of scrolls where it was placed in large bookcases. The bookcases were filled from top to bottom with scrolls and books.
Unsealing his stuff from his scroll making Kage Bunshins do the work Naruto went to bed hoping that class in the academy wouldn't be as boring as hell.
