Naruto: Forgotten Prodigy

Chapter 1

Naruto's POV

I'm alone, I have a family but they don't know that I exist, the villagers hated me even the shinobis that, I have a soul of the Kyuubi in my stomach that my father sealed in me. I have everything that can envy anyone who lives in luxury life with powerful parents and most of all 'rich'. I am just a scourge in my village and my family as well, I have friends but, they don't care and never considered me as their 'friend'. I live my life without any help from them, they see me a Kyuubi Reincarnation, I don't know what to do, I pray for Kami that someone will accept me, adopt me or take me with them, (He didn't know that his prayers were answered).

No One's POV

In the private training ground of the Uzumaki-Namikaze estate, five individuals were engaged with training. A boy with shaggy blonde hair with brilliant red tinted tips with deep cerulean blue eyes, standing at around 4ft high, this was Menma Uzumaki-Namikaze, third born of the Uzumaki-Namikaze family, who was chasing around his father Minato, as the two were laughing loudly.

The other two children consisted of two girls of the same height of 4ft, giggling and chatting happily with their mother Kushina, second born of the family was Mito Uzumaki-Namikaze, who had her mother's brilliant red hair that went to the mid of her back tied into a ponytail and her father's cerulean blue eyes. The other was the youngest of the Uzumaki-Namikaze family, Narumi Uzumaki-Namikaze, who had inherited her father's blonde hair that was tied in a twin tails fashion with bangs similar to her father framing her face and her mother's violet colored eyes.

The scene now was a picturesque moment of a happy family spending time together, which would have been true if not for the pair of navy blue eyes watching his family partake in another activity without him. He was the oldest of the Uzumaki-Namikaze children, he was Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, having a darker shade of blonde and darker colored eyes then his family. After heaving a sigh, he returned to his room to finish his book, momentarily forgotten for the slim chance that he would be invited to play with his family.

After reaching his room, he sat back down on the bed and continued where he left off, he drifted off to the world that the book offered for him as he contemplated his interactions with his family over the years. "It's not going to change it is. It's been this way for as long as I can remember, and I still don't know why they always leave me out when we do things. Kaa-chan and Tou-san didn't use to be like this... they used to include me in things when I was younger I just know it..." Unknown to Naruto, and his family was the contract that the Shinigami made all those years ago with Minato. Instead of his soul he took the away the feelings of love that Minato, Kushina, and those who were close to the Uzumaki- Namikaze had for Naruto, a twisted exchanged that severed the bonds that he had with his parents and siblings and by extension, those associated with them.

Though his parents did not neglect in terms of shelter, he had to learn to make his own meals and shop for clothes on his own. They did severely neglect him when it came to love. He was forgotten and rejected in favor of his more vocal siblings, Menma in particular ensured his parents pay no attention to himself by being more assertive and vocal with his demands like when it came to where the family was to go eat and the like. This divide was not limited to Menma, Narumi and Mito both stayed a distance away from their older brother like he was an outsider, even though in the past they used to play together like normal siblings, however that ceased happening years ago as Narumi began to act similar to Menma and Mito closed him off from any form of contact with her. From the situations that he's been in up to this point, he didn't think like it would be ending anytime soon.

Letting his head fall onto his pillow, Naruto could only think about what his future would hold. He would rather be hated then completely ignored, but it seemed to the young boy that that was an impossibility. However, he would be starting his ninja training at the academy in the fall, so for now the future seemed brighter than it did in the past year.
