Naruto sat in the alleyway. The villagers were beating him up - again. And he wouldn't do anything about it.
'Stop!' A boy his age, 5, said, holding a brandished kunai.
The Uchiha crest was on his back.
'Pppt. Sasuke Uchiha. Why are you even helping this demon.' The villagers spat.
'He's a person, you know.' Sasuke said, disgusted. 'Come on, boy, let's go. My name is Sasuke.'
Sasuke led Naruto out of the alley, into a park.
'What's your name? I want to be your friend.' Sasuke asked kindly.
'Naruto. I'm an orphan.' Naruto said.
'Do you want to join me in my family?' Sasuke asked.
The Uchiha wanted a friend his age - like Naruto.
'Yes! Thank you!' Naruto cheered.
'He's the Uchiha heir. Go with him.' Madara whispered in Naruto's mind.
Sasuke brought Naruto to the Uchiha compound.
'Sasuke, who's this?' Fugaku said.
'He's my new friend! He's an orphan. Can we adopt him, pleaseeee!' Sasuke said.
'Sure.' Itachi said.
The Uchiha quickly signed the adoption papers, and Naruto had become an official Uchiha. Minato didn't care, he just allowed it. He didn't even care if Naruto joined another clan!
'Hello, Naruto.' A woman said kindly. 'I'm Mikoto Uchiha. I'm your mom, ok?'
'Ok, mommy!' Naruto said happily. 'Is that my daddy?'
Naruto pointed at Fugaku, who nodded.
**Timeskip, one week**
'So Naruto, do you know who your parents are?' Mikoto asked.
Naruto nodded. 'The Hokage and his wife.'
The Uchiha's mouths dropped open in shock.
'He dumped me and disowned me.' Naruto spat.
'Naruto, you are now an Uchiha, ok? Your family isn't the Hokage's family anymore, ok?' Itachi said.
'Ok, nii-san!' Naruto said, cheerful again.
The Uchiha had become Naruto's family: Itachi was his older brother, Sasuke was his younger brother, Shisui was his cousin, and Fugaku and Mikoto were his parents.
'Boys, today we're going to do Sharingan training!' Itachi announced.
Naruto and Sasuke cheered.
'Let's go to the Uchiha training grounds!' Itachi said.
The boys walked to the yard. Naruto and Sasuke had become best friends, they trained together, and learnt together.
'Show me your Sharingan.' Itachi said.
Sasuke's three-tomoe Sharingan appeared, and Naruto's Eternal Mangekyo Rinne-Sharingan appeared. Itachi gasped. How did Naruto get that special Sharingan? He didn't even have the Rinnegan!
'Naruto, you aren't an Uchiha by blood, how did you get those eyes?' Itachi asked.
'A guy called Hagoromo Otsutsuki gave them to me.' Naruto said.
He was still a kid, and didn't really know what to do with them. He only knew the basics through Madara.
'That's the Sage of Six Paths!' Itachi thought.
'Shisui, you've got to see this.' Itachi said.
Shisui ran out and glanced at Naruto's eyes. They were Madara Uchiha's eyes.
'Naruto, do you know the basics?' Shisui asked.
Naruto nodded.
'I'll make some shadow clones to help me learn.' Naruto said.
The Uchiha were amazed. How could Minato not notice such a big prodigy! He even was acknowledged by the Sage of Six Paths himself! The boys trained hard, and Sasuke was weaker than Naruto by a little bit.
'Naruto nii-san! Let's go back in!' Sasuke said.
'Ok!'
The two Uchiha boys rushed in, ready for dinner.
**Timeskip, 1 month**
Rumours had spread regarding the prodigy of the Uchiha. The Sannin and Danzo had heard of them, so they decided to check the kid out. Danzo wanted the kid in ROOT. The Sannin wanted to train the kid.
'Naruto! Someone important wants to see you!' Mikoto called.
'Coming, kaa-san!' Naruto said, as Mikoto opened the door.
The Sannin stepped into the house.
'Thank you, Uchiha-san.' Tsunade said.
'Hello! Are you the Sannin?' Naruto asked, as Sasuke ran out too.
'Yes. You did your homework, didn't you?' Orochimaru said.
'Yes. Naruto and Sasuke's knowledge are beyond anyone at the Academy. They also have strong dojutsu and techniques.' Mikoto said.
'Naruto. Sasuke. We want to train you for 1 year. We'll visit everyday to train you, is that fine?' Jiraiya said.
'Kaa-san! I want to be trained!' Sasuke said.
'Ok, ok.' Mikoto said. 'I allow them to be trained by you. Naruto, Sasuke? Make sure you do your chores first!'
'Ok, kaa-san!' Naruto and Sasuke said.
'Shall we start?' Jiraiya said.
In the Uchiha training grounds, Naruto and Sasuke created clones to help them with their training. Sasuke had enough chakra reserves for 10 clones, while Naruto created 10 also.
'These kids are real prodigies!' Jiraiya thought.
Tsunade taught them basic chakra control, chakra infused attacks, and had them study medicine and poison, while Jiraiya taught them basic ninjutsu, chakra change, and taijutsu. Orochimaru taught them information, summoning, and genjutsu. In a month, Naruto and Sasuke had mastered the material the Sannin taught them.
'This stuff is usually learned in half a year!' Tsunade thought. 'Amazing!'
The two brothers continued learning: Sharingan jutsu and kenjutsu from Itachi and Shisui, medical ninjutsu from Tsunade, Sage Mode from Jiraiya, and fuinjutsu from Orochimaru. Naruto and Sasuke continued learning.
Quickly, the brothers had become the most feared ninja in Konoha, being trained in all kinds of techniques and jutsu. Soon, Naruto and Sasuke had mastered everything but taijutsu, and had finished the Sannin's training in half a year.
**Timeskip, 1 week later**
Danzo knocked on the door of the Uchiha. Half a year had passed since the rumours began. He hadn't tried the Uchiha yet, as he had wasted too long checking the other clans.
Fugaku opened the door.
'Danzo. What brings you here?' Fugaku said.
'I would like to recruit young Sasuke and Naruto into the ANBU.' Danzo said. 'I heard rumours about two brothers being prodigies who are trained by the Sannin.'
'I will allow it, but you must have Naruto and Sasuke's approval first.' Fugaku said. 'Naruto! Sasuke!'
'Tou-san!' Sasuke said.
Naruto and Sasuke were 6 now.
'Is that Danzo from the ANBU?' Naruto asked.
'Hehehe, you did your homework.' Danzo said. 'Join the ANBU.'
'Ok, jiji!' Sasuke said, as the two brothers giggled.
'Yeah! I wanna join!' Naruto said.
'Good. Meet me in the Forest of Death tomorrow morning.' Danzo said.
'Ok jiji!' Naruto said.
Danzo left the room, smiling. He had recruited two prodigies for ANBU.
Naruto and Sasuke prepared a snack, hungry.
'Tomorrow....' Sasuke said.
'We're part of the ANBU Black Ops!' Naruto said. 'Let's go tell Itachi nii-san!'
'Ok!' Sasuke said, as the boys went to find Itachi.
