Jiryia looked down at the baby his features familiar resembling his student fiercely. His eyes wandered to the seal on his stomach. He placed his hand on the seal feeling for any leaking chakra. To his surprise he felt none placing his hand down again he searched for it. He studied the seal closely prodding it with his chakra. But nothing came from the chakra from Naruto couldn't have leaked from the seal. The Kyubi had no influence from inside the seal. The only explanation was that Naruto was slowly absorbing the Kyubi or something along those lines. He looked to Sarutobi with a slight smile.

Five years later

Naruto walked into the Ninja Academy anxious and worried. Grandpa had told him that he must be careful because of his Chakra the red chakra. It made him immensely strong so strong Grandpa even he struggled to tame him. Whenever he got angry it came out the rage would fuel it and he exploded. He destroyed nearly a whole forest one time. It was over something trivial he couldn't skip a stone far enough across a river. He had improved control over the power but he could hurt people but Grandpa trusted him to maintain control.

He sat down in the middle row of the class feeling anxiety from all the people around him. He wasn't allowed to wander into the village where the people where only a few times had he been outside the Sarutobi compound. His power was to unpredictable and dangerous. But recently he had been allowed out more with his increased control.

"Hello class I am Iruka Umino your teacher you will address me as sensei" the class spoke quietly whispering things about the teacher.

"Today is the first step to your ninja career so let's begin on the village history the founding ninja" Naruto looked at Iruka with intrigue Grandpa had told him of his sensei Hashirama Senju the strongest ninja in history he made mountains tremble with a footstep he controlled the nine tailed beasts with ease" Naruto snapped out of his memory from Iruka speaking.

"Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha from rivaling clans who fought each other for hundreds of years" "these two were the strongest shinobi in history they broke the cycle of feuding between their clans and united" Iruka spoke with a passion that surprised Naruto.

"They built this village from the ground up with hopes of peace and prosperity they grew up in war they desired the opposite" Iruka began moving around his desk closer to his students.

"Do any of you know the special ability of the Uchiha clan that is still present today" Iruka questioned

"The Sharigan" spoke a boy with black hair and completely black eyes and unusually pale skin.

"Ah you must be Sasuke the academy has high hopes for you, he is a member of the main branch of the Uchiha family which is now branched off from a third cousin of Madara's" Naruto stared at the boy feeling some resemblance between them both. Sharing a similar shaped face and jawline and their eyes the same shape as well.

"Now onto the falling out of the Senju and Uchiha clan" Iruka continued his history lesson while Naruto continued looking at Sasuke to his left from the side of his eye.

One hour later

They gathered outside where a red circle was painted on the ground. They stood away from it where dummies and targets stood. A table with a bunch of wooden kunai laid across it ten feet away from said targets. They all lined up Naruto towards the front behind Sasuke.

"Each of you will throw the kunai from the red line this will determine where we start overall as a class with your physical classes" everyone began to get excited to try and show off. This class was extremely hyped up including the heirs to all major clans and most minor ones few civilians were in. Naruto wasn't considered a civilian but he wasn't quite a clan member either at least that's what his Grandpa told him. The line kept moving forward Naruto stood bored until Sasuke's turn was up.

"Do you have much experience with kunai Sasuke" Iruka asked tired of watching most fail completely not even touching the target.

"My brother has taught me a few tricks but with real kunai and shuriken" Sasuke spoke softly having had limited social interaction outside of his family.

Sasuke stepped to the line grabbing the wooden kunai and threw it straight it flew perfectly into the middle bouncing off landing away from the target.

"Impressive Sasuke go sit over with the rest of the students try and familiarize yourself with your classmate" Sasuke looked nervously at other children who looked at him jealous.

"Naruto I have heard things from the Hokage about you he says your quite good for your age" Iruka looked at Naruto with a smile.

Naruto said nothing nodding his head lightly with his eyes on the ground. He stepped towards the target grabbing his kunai and flung it hitting the dead eye just barely.

"Impressive Naruto do as I told Sasuke" Iruka watched Naruto walked away his eyes lingering on him before greeting the next student.

Naruto sat on the grass a little away from Sasuke. He looked over to him lightly staring. Sasuke noticed and looked at him as well they both stared narrowing their eyes and examine each other's faces.

"Your name is Naruto right" Sasuke asked.

"Yes" Naruto didn't know what to say afterwards.

"Your also good with Kunai have you ever used real ones" Sasuke kept talking making Naruto nervous

"It's what I normally use I heal fast according to my Grandpa he says I don't have to worry about getting hurt" Naruto started rambling instead of just simply answering.

"My father has mentioned you before he says you look odd for an Uzumaki" Sasuke looked at Naruto for an answer.

"What is an Uzumaki" Naruto questioned.

"My brother said it was an extinct clan" Sasuke somewhat puffed up with pride at his uncommon knowledge.

"What does an Uzumaki look like" Naruto felt confusion nobody had told him he was an Uzumaki.

"They have red hair and unusually high chakra I heard the fourth Hokage's wife had chakra chains and she was an Uzumaki" Sasuke started getting excited thinking of such a cool and powerful ability.

Naruto started to feel panic his red chakra slightly flaring he could feel it bubbling inside him trying to unleash. He pushed it down ignoring it Sasuke probably misheard something maybe it was a different Naruto or something.

"That sounds like a cool ability" Naruto stated finally having calmed himself.

End of the day

Naruto walked out of the building where everyone crowded his Grandpa with excitement. Naruto learned early when they went to the village together that his Grandpa was an important man he was a powerful ninja and the ruler of their village. So he had gotten used to people crowding him. The first time had scared him and the anbu had to stop him before his red chakra came out.

He looked ahead searching for Sasuke in the crowd but saw him walking down the road. Naruto had really enjoyed his company he had never had a friend his age before. They liked the same things. They enjoyed the adrenaline rush from training. Sasuke told him something that he related to greatly he was the first Uchiha born with a sharigan. It was a power nobody else had at his age he had a mangekyo by the time he was four. He explained the levels of sharigan mangekyo being a somewhat secret level. Naruto told him of the red chakra he possessed and the danger from it. Sasuke had also been told of the danger of his ability he has caused fires and constant damage when he was younger.

Naruto walked home with his Grandpa who had stopped to talk a few times with the villagers. He always stood waiting patiently listening to the complaints and troubles of the villagers. His grandpa smiled and promised to try and fix the issue. Finally they got home and he headed outside with his grandpa who began to play with Konohamaru who had recently turned two. But soon he left to the office to deal with his final meetings of the day. Naruto just sat in a chair watching the river flow before he fell asleep.

Sarutobi and Iruka sat on top of the Hokage tower watching the sun finally set. The village dying down everybody returning home except for a small few.

"Did anything happen Iruka can he handle this" Sarutobi looked worried and his old age showed through.

"He did fine on all of his tests and he and Sasuke Uchiha spent the rest of the day talking" Iruka smiled as the Hokage deflated the stress lifting from his old bones.

"Good he hasn't ever had a friend his age before how did Sasuke do" Ssrutobi questioned?

"Well very quiet though he answered one question I asked the class he and Naruto seemed nervous" Iruka paused

"I noticed one thing from Naruto though while he and Sasuke spoke the chakra flared up" Iruka's tone became more serious. "It seems Fugaku doesn't believe Naruto is an Uzumaki Sasuke mentioned it to him" Sarutobi shrunk at that.

"I hadn't hoped to explain this to him yet I never told him about his father or mother" "nor have I told him the name he was given to protect his identity" Hiruzen sighed and stood up.

"Good night Lord Hokage" Iruka stood up and bowed.

"You to Iruka" Hiruzen began walking away.

Sarutobi Compound

Naruto sat next to the river flowing through the compound. Hiruzen sat next to him groaning as he did so. They sat in silence Hiruzen dreading the conversation.

"Your not an Uzumaki Naruto and while I love you your not a Sarutobi either" Hiruzen looked at Naruto examine his features.

"Then who is my family are they even alive" Naruto's eyes watered and red chakra danced around him.

"No Naruto and sadly I can't tell you their names but I can tell you about them" Naruto's chakra died down and he looked towards Hiruzen.

Uchiha Compound

Mikoto Uchiha watched both her sons sit next to the pond from afar. Sasuke her youngest son spoke excitedly to his brother Itatchi. Who had made sure to get off his Anbu duties to talk to him before he went to sleep.

"I made a friend as well named Naruto" Sasuke spoke even more excited to tell him about his friend.

"He lives with the Hokage and he is just like me he even kinda looks like me" Sasuke spoke fast and Itatchi smiled but internally he felt troubled.

The take over that the Uchiha planned was to take place in just a few months. He didn't know who to fight for his village and all the innocents or his family and bloodline. It wasn't fair that he was put in this situation but he had Shisui to help him.

"Itatchi are you listening" Sasuke asked with as much annoyance his voice allowed him.

"Of course Sasuke I always am"

A month later

Naruto and Sasuke stretched next to each other preparing for the physical classes of the day.

"Shikamaru start stretching now" Iruka yelled across the training yard.

Naruto and Sasuke finished up and looked to Iruka for instructions.

"Today we will have sparring where for the few of you who know jutus are not allowed to use them" Iruka began to pair up two students to fight. "Shikamaru and Kiba please enter the circle Out of bounds or stoppage are the ways to win" Shikamaru groaned and Kiba yelled out in excitement.

Kiba charged without a proper form and swung. Shikamaru moved out of the way showing fast reflexes. Kiba rushed him again but Shikamaru moved again but this time pushed Kiba hard. Kiba fell out of the ring face first.

"Am I done now" Shikamaru hopefully asked.

"Yes but be prepared to fight again by the end of the day" Shikamaru groaned at the thought of fighting again.

"Sasuke you shall fight Sakura"

They approached the ring and stepped in. Sakura looked scared and nervous. Sasuke seemed reluctant to fight her. Sakura in a panic ran at him and threw a pathetic punch which landed hitting his chest. She fearfully looked up into his eyes where blood dripped from its sockets. Suddenly Sakura found herself thrown back by an invisible force rolling on the ground. Everybody stared horrified as Sakura rose her nose bloody and her arm broken.

"Ok follow me Sakura everybody stay calm I will be back soon" Iruka grabbed her good arm and took her inside.

People stared at Sasuke with fear. Sasuke began to panic he shut his eyes trying to trap the power. Naruto watched his first and only friend panic making him angry. His red chakra began to leak out people began to pass out from the potent chakra. Sasuke opened his eyes watching the bodies drop and Naruto glowing red power emanating off him. Before it went dark for both of them. Two anbu grabbed them and left.
