Naruto

"... W-what?" The 3rd hokage said in shock seeing me walk up to him with a child in hand. He Of course went on guard, but I ignored them while looking at the child in my hand

"They managed to use their last breath to break me out of the genjutsu..." I said softly, stunning the 3rd hokage whose eyes widened in shock

"I will raise Naruto, Minato used his life to cast the reaper's death seal to seal 50% of my chakra in this brat. So I will watch him... Annoy me with any nonsense, I will kill you. Tell Danzo to know his place, or else I will have his head." I said while turning and walking away, leaving the 3rd hokage to only stand there quietly,

I went back to Kushina's home, where I looked at my son... This was my son, we shall destroy this shinobi world and bring forth a new world.

Naruto was his name, I remember bits and pieces from Naruto's past. Naruto was a kid who was outcast by other villagers because they thought he was the reincarnation of the 9-tailed fox. I wanted this to happen, I wanted Naruto to grow to hate the humans.

So, I became a dad. I wasn't a bad father or anything, I wasn't evil, I just don't like humans. But this was my son, I would accept him even with him being half human. The unconditional love of a father, that's what I gave him.

It hurt seeing my son coming home when he went out to play in tears. The news of him bringing the demon fox reincarnation or whatever they were saying spread, causing everyone to make Naruto an outcast. But all of this was to temper my son and allow him to see just how disgusting these humans were,

It was hard, really hard. Naruto had this weird brightness to him, but with my attacks of reason which forced him to not ignore reality, he was left many times... Defeated.

I will be honest, I was not the best dad. From time to time I would leave, which left Naruto all alone. I thought about leaving a clone behind to watch Naruto, but since he was old enough to take care of himself, I wanted him to see a world with love and a world with pure hatred toward him

When he entered the Academy, thanks to me he didn't grow to have some dream of becoming hokage, instead he became the quiet kid who just watched the world, and thought carefully about what he saw.

Time passed, and the Uchiha clan was slaughtered, It seemed like people were pointing towards them being the main reason for my attack... I may or may not have fanned the flames for this. I hated that clan.

The day for Naruto to graduate from the academy arrived, Naruto passed without trouble and went on to enter a team of 3, but the team leader in this team was someone Naruto hated. Kakashi

Kakashi was one of the students belonging to Minato, yet all his life, where was he? All alone, it was just him and me. Yet hearing stories from me of how his father, the hokage was loved so much, even going as far as to sacrifice his own life for this village... He could understand the villagers hating him, but why did those who knew everything behind his birth?

His father's teacher? No, where to be seen. His student? No, where to be seen. His mother's friends, his father's friends, all elite shinobi, a handful knew... Yet only I stood with Naruto through it all, going as far as standing up to others when they messed with him.

But he learned to hide his emotions, so Kakashi never noticed. Among his team was Sasuke Uchiha, the last surviving member of the Uchiha clan and some weak woman I disdained to know.

"Come on, you're Genin, be happy," I said while holding a birthday cake. Naruto just emotionally looked at me for a moment, before sighing.

"Tell me, about your team," I asked with a smile, Naruto sighed softly before explaining

"I'm with Sasuke... I want to be his friend." Naruto said softly, stunning me. Naruto looked away, embarrassed by the way I looked at him.

"They grow up so fast, to think it was just yesterday I was trying to stop you from eating your poop," I said while removing the fake tears from the corner of my eyes, making Naruto glare at me

"Okay, tell me everything," I said with bright eyes, Naruto hesitated for a moment before talking, but once he began talking he couldn't stop talking, Sasuke this, and Sasuke that.

I have tried to get him friends, I'm his father, and it hurts seeing my son so alone. I'm not evil or anything, I just hate humans

"Well, that's great..." I said with a smile, Naruto nodded slightly before heading to his room to train.

So, time passed. The next day, Naruto went on to do a bell test with his team. They did well, with Sasuke and Naruto working well together, The two had a unique connection which made me get ready for the day Naruto came out as gay.

As for the girl, since her name was so hard to remember, I just titled her trash. I don't know why, but I felt like that name suited her... Which it did with how useless she was in this exam, she was only book smart, which Naruto was, and she brought nothing to the team.

Anyway, after the test, they began doing missions the next day, and I noticed how Naruto's life seemed to get brighter and brighter by the day.

One day they did a C-rank mission, which should have been a B-rank mission, to say the least, that mission pushed them. Pushing them so much that Naruto tapped into my other half's power thanks to his emotions when he thought Sasuke died.

There, Naruto killed for the first time, which scarred him. Being the good father I sat him down for a talk since Naruto was feeling guilty.

"Everyone is a villain, it depends on what point of view you look at things from. Imagine you were a hungry kid on the street, and you needed to eat, and on top of that you had a little brother to take care of. So you steal to help your little brother, Does that make you a villain?" I asked calmly, to which Naruto shook his head

"Then, what if the store owner beats the kid up, Is he the villain?" I asked to which Naruto nodded slightly, but he frowned as he fell into deeper thought about this.

"All alright, let's say you are a businessman with a sick mother. You're trying to pay the bill, much less feed yourself, and your business is going downhill. Now a kid up and steal from you. You understand why he does it, but you can't afford to lose money. You tell this to the kid, and you warn him. Yet he keeps stealing, are you the villain for having to use force?" I asked making Naruto quiet

"What I'm trying to say... The world is not a clear picture of black and white. Everyone is the hero of their own story, everyone sees their actions as the right path. And others would see your actions as wrong." I said making Naruto nod in understanding

"The villagers think I'm the villain... And I have been seeing them as the villain. What do you see?" He asked while looking at me

"I see the truth... The cold harsh truth, sometimes the truth is hard to accept. But once you accept it, you can take steps to change it. There will always be clashes of good and evil, there will always be those who suffer. So long as the shinobi life exists, then there will never be peace." I said with a deep sigh, making Naruto's eyes flash slightly

"... But you said before the shinobi world was an era of war," Naruto asked to which I nodded

"That's why I wish for a new era, an era where all villages unite. An era where everyone comes together, I have a few ideas on how one could do this. But they are almost impossible to turn into reality." I said while looking at the ceiling in deep thought

"... Tell me?" Naruto said to which I shook my head while getting up

"Find your way in life, walk your journey. Don't think just because I'm honest with you about my outlook on life, that I want you to look at this world through my eyes. You are special, talented, and smart. So you get to tell me about your dream when you get it... I want to see a new outlook on life." I said with a smile while leaving Naruto in deep thought

But he couldn't think for long as the chunin exam was a few days away, and he needed to get ready. So, he planned to look at everyone from other villages to get his outlook on life, And that he did

The 3rd hokage had 3 disciples, Jirayal who went on to become Minato Teacher, Tsunade who went on to become the best medical Nin, and lastly, Orochimaru who betrayed the hidden leaf

Orochimaru is the one they meant during the second part of the exam. At first, he was after Sasuke, but Sasuke and Naruto worked together to give him a good show, which led to him biting both Sasuke and Naruto on the neck, leaving a curse mark

Why you ask? Sasuke's elder brother slaughtered the whole clan at the age of 14, Itachi's eyes were powerful, but Sasuke's eyes were showing more potential than Itachi's eyes. Sasuke also held a deep hatred, which he could control

Naruto was a talent who rivaled Sasuke, the two were rivals since the first time they entered the academy, pushing each other. Naruto had a huge amount of chakra, so much so that it might be that he could called a tail beast. Plus, Naruto held a deep hatred, which he could control

Orochimaru was someone who could switch bodies with others. And who were better than the two of them? He even weakened the seal which held the 9 tails...

A lot happened in the second part of the exam, when Naruto returned he had a lot to say... Among these was his outview on building a peaceful world

"... A common enemy. If the world had a reason to unite, something which would force them to outside everything, they would take the first step towards world peace. Chaos births order, and Order births Chaos... If so much chaos is created, then the peace that would come would be bright. The world that would be forced to unite to pick each other up..." Naruto said stunning me for some time...
