Welcome to Konoha... and now we skip the blah blah blah that all of you have read countless times. Let me just cut to the chase for you all: 10 years ago the Kyubi was released from Kushina Uzumaki, the wife of the Fourth Hokage, after giving birth to triplets, though the first named Naruto was born 20 minutes before the other two, and said Fourth Hokage was forced to fight to save them before the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, attempted the Reaper Death Seal to seal away the Kyubi.

However, he had attempted it on Naruto as he was eldest, but the boy's body rejected the Kyubi's chakra and he was forced to seal the body in Naruto and its chakra into the two younger of the triplets. The second astonishing thing, Naruto's body rejecting the Kyubi was the first, was that the Shinigami gave Hiruzen a pass on summoning him but it did weaken him slightly pushing his chakra reserves to that of a Jonin instead of a Sanin, which was counted as a fair trade.

Anyway, for five years Kushina and Minato, the Fourth Hokage, raised and treated their children equally, but that changed when the two younger children, Keyone and Arashi, began exhibiting chakra and Kyubi's chakra making them focus on them leaving poor Naruto alone. From there Naruto was essentially raised by the few friends he had: Mikoto Uchiha, the Uchiha matriarch and clan head after her bastard of a husband was executed for treason after he stole the Forbidden Scroll and tried to get the Uchiha clan to learn from it; Sarada and Sasuke Uchiha, Mikoto's twin youngest children that were Naruto's age; Itomi Uchiha, Mikoto's eldest and the youngest Anbu Captain in history; Shizune, the apprentice of Naruto's godmother Tsunade; Ayame Ichiraku, a civilian Ramen chef that worked with her father; Yugao Uzuki, one of his mother's students and an Anbu Captain that specialized in swordsmanship; Hana Inuzuka, the daughter of Minato's Teammate Tsume; Kurenai Yuhi, a young Chunin that specialized in Genjutsu; Temari and Gaara Subaku, the oldest and youngest children of the Kazekage that Naruto met when said man came for treaty talks; and Anko Miterashi a young girl who was betrayed by her sensei Orochimaru and Naruto treated as a friend regardless of who else said anything. The worst part was that Naruto's godfather and godbrother neglected him too in favor of his siblings.

Tsunade was innocent in the neglect as she was mostly too busy at the hospital with being the best doctor or training new doctors and medic nins to spend quality time with the trio so she usually had Shizune give them their gifts during holidays or events or Naruto would get his by stopping by to see her. Naruto never told Tsunade about the neglect as he knew she saw Kushina as a daughter and didn't want to wreck that relationship for Tsunade.
Moving on, we come to you 10 years into Naruto's life because we find him packing his things that he kept at the Uchiha compound. The reason for his packing was because he was planning to leave the village after finally getting fed up with everything and knew he needed to. You see, he felt that he wouldn't receive the training he would need as a shinobi if he stayed and he was right. His friends taught or helped him with what they could but with their individual schedules it wasn't a ton and a few days ago when Naruto learned tree climbing on his own, he showed it off to his family only to have his father and mother scream at him and his mother actually slapped him and sent him to his room (which he rarely slept in anyway) and that was the last straw for Naruto as he blew up at them and tore into them about hating them and how he wished he was never made part of their family before leaving.
