~NARRATOR POV~
It was the 10th of October. It's the 4th annual Festival that is held to honor the death of the Yondaime and celebrate the 'death' of the Kyuubi. The villagers were having fun and celebrating with their friends and family. Well... almost everyone.
~3RD PERSON'S POV~
A bright yellow blur rushes by the screen. The screen quickly follows after the yellow blurred and it reveals a blonde-haired boy, that appeared to be no more than 4 years old. He was very malnourished and he was covered in dried blood, dirt, and bruises. His clothes were nothing more than dirty and torn rags.
The boy had bright spiky golden yellow-blonde hair that could be compared to the sun, but it has dried blood and dirt that matted it together, he had large bright electric cobalt blue eyes but they showed fear, and he had three whisker-like marks on his cheeks, which tears were falling from his eyes. He was afraid and was running like his life depended on it.
Turning to look behind him. His face paled. The boy quickly turned his head back to the direction he was running in.
The screen moves ahead of the bright-haired child to reveal a large mob of villagers pursuing the 4-year-old child. They were holding pitchforks, kunai, shurikens, kitchen knives, spears, katanas, and torches.
The sound of something whirling threw the air, gave him a warning. The boy immediately rolled forward, before jumping onto a nearby building and running across it, and jumping down, before continuing to run.
"It's heading towards the forest!"
Not caring about the fences and the keep-out signs. The boy continued running. His pursuers were about to follow after him, but their friends prevented them.
"Stop! There's no point in following the demon now. The Kyuubi's brat is as good as dead. After all, this place isn't called The Forest of Death for nothing."
They all cheered, before returning to the Festival to celebrate, but little did they know they led the boy to find the lost forest temple of the Uzumaki Clan.
Where the boy finds scrolls, weapons, books, and so much more, inside the temple. The boy had found out that he was the only one who was able to see the temple from the outside. So he decides to make the Uzumaki temple his new home.
The boy had to teach himself how to read and write. He was a very fast learner. He learned how to use Fuinjutsu. How to apply and perform Genjetsu. How to fight with Kenjutsu and Taijutsu. How to perform Medical aid and basic Medical Ninjutsu. He also practice performing any Ninjutsu and practiced as much in his Chakra Control as possible.
He masters the leaf exercise, the tree walking exercise, and the water walking exercise. He also managed to create a chakra control exercises of his own, too.
The Moving Water Drop Exercise
The user has to be able to catch a single water drop without it bursting and continuously move it around their body. While maintaining its form. The exercise is mastered when they can continue to do this for three hours with 6 water drops going in different directions.
He also had to train himself how to forage for nuts and berries that can be found in the forest, as well as learn how to hunt and fish for meat. He also taught himself how to cook and make clothes from animal furs.
He made sure to let the Hokage know of his well-being once a week by visiting the Hokage by entering the window.
~THE MAIN PERSPECTIVE'S POV~
Over 3 years have passed since I made the Uzumaki temple my home. I'm now 7 years old and I'm at the appropriate age to start at the Shinobi Academy. I've gone from a skinny, muscle-less, frightened, scavenger, the dumbest of a child to a lean, well-muscled, gentle, confident, and smart young man.
Within those years I've learned and nearly perfected my Fuinjutsu, Genjetsu, Kenjutsu, Ninjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and Taijutsu.
With the help of Kyuubi, I'm able to stay in control with three tails in Kyuubi's bijou chakra cloak. My body all changed and adapted to his chakra and my way of living.
My ears grew longer with the tips being pointed, like those forest elves in stories I've heard. I let my hair grow out, resulting in it becoming messer and wilder, and due to training to be able to control the Kyuubi's demonic red chakra, some of my hair changed to red. Has made my brilliant bright blonde-yellow colored hair now has streaks of red highlights, but I'm not complaining.
My pupils changed their shape, they now appear slit like a fox's, but they are still their same electric cobalt blue color. The whisker marks on my cheeks had also become more well-pronounced. My teeth had grown more like that of a fox's, too.
The Kyuubi and I talk sometimes. I also learned his real name is Kurama. He told me the truth about himself, who my parents were, how he was taken from my Mother after she had just given birth to me, how he was controlled by a man pretending to be Madura Uchiha and was controlled by the fake to destroy Konoha.
How my father fought the fake Madura and won, how he and my mother were forced to seal Kurama inside me, and how my father's dying wish I was seen as a hero was ignored.
After Kurama told me everything, I in return changed my mindscape from a sewer system to an open forest. Rabbits and other small animals are big enough to be considered normal size if Kurama was a normal size fox.
Kurama was happy with the changes and allowed me to sign the Demon Fox contract and my clan Summoning Contracts with the Western Dragon Summoning Clan. Which I found within the temple.
Kurama was the boss summon of the Demon Foxs. He told me that the Demon Foxes and the Western Dragons were long-time friends and allies.
The boss summon of the Western Dragons, Raze, and Kurama agreed with me being the holder of both of their Summoning Contracts.
They both told me that they'll give me a personal summons when I became a full-fledged Shinobi. They'll allow me to pick my personal summons when the time came.
"Okay, it's time to go!" I yelled out, as I ran out of the Uzumaki Temple, through the Forest of Death, then through the hole in the fence, and ran straight towards the village.
"Alright off to the Hokage tower!" I said, with excitement in my voice as I made my way to the Hokage tower.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze. I'm the Sandaime Jinjuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsu; Kurama. I'm the son of The Yondaime Hokage/The Yellow Flash; Minato Namikaze and The Nidaime Jinjuuriki of Kyuubi/The Red Death; Kushina Uzumaki. I'm also the grand nephew Tsunade Senju, and this is my story of how I began my journey to becoming one of the greatest Ninjas in all the Elemental Nations and bringing peace to the entire nation. Believe it!
