As a child, Naruto was beaten and hunted for sport among the villagers. He was hated and feared. He wasn't allowed the same privileges as anyone else, he was only allowed the least. One day, he was pushed too far and something inside him changed
-Naruto POV- I was dressed in my usual geta sandals, old school shinobi pants that were baggy above the knee but tight around the calves, a cloak, and my traveling hat. I had my hair tied back into a bun. My cloaks collar covered my face below my eyes and the bottom was in tatters from being worn so much. During my travels I'd grown to 6'5", two inches taller than Jiraiya. It was almost time for my 17th birthday and I planned to spend it with my family.
Jiraiya had a cloak on too, but he had a his hood down. It was a sunny day in Konoha and the streets were bustling. As we entered, the gate guard walked up to us.
Jiraiya stepped forward. "I'll handle the paperwork. Go home kid." He said.
I activated Gale step and took off without a seconds hesitation. Konoha hadn't changed at all, I still remembered all of it. In under three minutes I was standing at my front door.
My heart was racing more than ever as I reach up. 'Do I knock or do I just go in?...' I thought to myself as my hand froze in place. I felt like my nerves were eating my stomach.
I heard foot steps behind me, they abruptly stopped. "Are you expecting guests?" A female voice whispered.
A male voice spoke. "No." He said.
I tensed a bit, then lowered my hand and turned to see mom standing next to Itachi. They just stared at me in confusion. I flash stepped towards them and hugged them before they could react.
Their eyes were wide. "How- you were just over there." Mom stammered.
I laughed. "I got a lot faster." I said.
I was forced to back up by a kunai being pressed against my neck. "Who are you?" Itachi asked.
I tilted my head. "What do you mean? It's- oh! My travel outfit!" I said.
I did a backwards flash step and pulled off my hat and cloak. "I'm the one and only, great and powerful Naruto!" I said as I revealed myself.
(Minus the face tattoos and with whisker marks. On his back is the face of the Shinigami with chains wrapped around it.)

Itachi narrowed his eyes and looked me up. "Definitely not Naruto. Who are you?" He asked and mom nodded.
I nodded with my eyes closed. "That's a fair reaction, I've changed more than even I thought I would. Ok then, this should do." I said before opening my eyes, revealing my Reigan.
Mom's eyes went wide and Itachi just looked like he was trying to process it. Mom covered her mouth and rushed over. "You- you got tattoos?! That contact thing was one thing! But this?! These are actual tattoos!" She said as she tried to rub them off.
I laughed. "They aren't just for show mom." I said.
She crossed her arms. "Oh really? Demonstrate then." She said.
