Naruto the Broken Shinobi

The Tailless Fox

October 10th the day of Naruto Uzumaki's birthday, also the day of the fox hunt, an annual event that had gone on for three years, it was his sixth birthday today, and he was running, hoping the ANBU would save him like they usually did, however that was not the case, not tonight, tonight the fox hunt would go on uninterrupted, the most extreme year yet.
Run, run, run, that's all he could do, left, right, right, left, right, right. He ended up in a dead end, quickly turning around he had realized he had been caught, drunk shinobi and angry civilians brandishing weapons in his direction. He tried to climb, he tried to escape, boxes he climbed to try to escape collapsed under him, he crashed back down onto hard concrete.
"The demon can't get away now, now we kill him!" A hand was placed on the drunk Chunins shoulder, it was a Jounin, "Don't kill him, he screams about being a ninja, and becoming Hokage, let's take that away from him, if he doesn't have legs he can't be a Shinobi!" He screamed to the crowd, the boy was pinned to the ground by two ninja, the rest of the crowd pierced and slashed him for hours before the Jounin and Chunin cut off his legs.
The crowd dispersed and left only two drunk shinobi, A piercing white with veins bulging and a fear inducing red with tommoe spinning violently around the pupil, the men shook hands, "Hanshin Hyuuga." "Timaku Uchiha."
"Hyuuga-san, I believe that they didn't take enough to stop him from being a ninja, a ninja still needs their eyes, at least in the beginning." The Hyuuga nodded, both arogant as to believe eyes are the most important organ in the body.
"I agree, do you want the left or right eye Uchiha-San?" The Uchiha crudely shoved his fingers in the boys right eye socket and tore out the eye, the Hyuuga walked up and used the Juken to destroy the boys eye, the mush pooling out of his skull.
"Let's leave before ANBU get here."
"Agreed, have a good evening Uchiha-San."
When the ANBU that were supposed to watch over him got back to their post from easting at a restaurant they  sighed before taking the boy to the hospital, they were probably in deep shit,  this wouldn't go over well with the Hokage.
"Bear, Wolf, are you are telling me, that a group of Shinobi overpowered you before you could see their faces and did this to Naruto?" The men looked at the boy that was in emergency care in the hospital, they failed their job.
"Yes Hokage-Sama, what would you have us do?" Expecting a response they awaited punishment till they saw the boys hand flexing something the Hokage noticed immediately.
"Naruto, are you awake?" The old man spoke with worry in his voice, a tone that made Naruto smile, he still had one person he could count on at least.
"Yes... it's dark, it's so dark! Help!" The old man put a hand on Naruto's shoulder, calming him if only slightly, "Naruto your eyes are no longer functioning, one was pulled out, and the other destroyed inside your skull, we couldn't save either of them."
"And my legs? Why can't I feel them? Are they gone as well?"
"Yes, your legs were cut off in the attack on you, we did all we could, but without a medic of Tsunade's stature there is no way we can reattach your legs, I'm sorry, you will never be able to be a ninja."
Naruto had started shaking, the bandages covering his eyes turned red as he cried blood, he pushed himself off the bed as fast as he could, he couldn't believe it, he had to have had his legs, his eyes, he couldn't believe he had lost the only things he prided himself in.
He collapsed to the floor, the realization of the situation dawning on him.
"Naruto, is there anything you remember about the attack? Anything at all that may help us find people that attacked you?" Naruto stayed still for a moment, "The people that cut my legs off were wearing the chunin vest, although one of them was pretty old, half his hair had gone white with age I think... also the people that cut out my eyes, they said their names were, Hanshin and Timaku, they called each other Hyuuga and Uchiha... I think Hanshin was the Hyuuga."
"This is very helpful, thank you Naruto."
"It helps me more than it helps you, and I'm not moving anytime soon." The old man thought for a second before an evil look entered his eyes and he grinned in a very fox like manner.
"Ive been thinking about that Naruto, stay here for a few more days and I'll get you your sight back, maybe even better than before, your legs however can't be restored, I'll make sure you have a wheelchair to move around the village with." Naruto nodded, "Thank you, you've done so much for me..."
"But?..." Naruto paused a second, "It's why I'm hesitant to ask... I still want to be a shinobi, after I get my eyes back could you give me a chance, let me have access to the shinobi library, I will probably need to look at all the floors... I want to find a way to become a shinobi, even without my legs, if I find a way, would you put me in the academy?" Hiruzen thought about it, if he found a way to be able to do the physical activities of a ninja without legs than he couldn't really stop him.
"I'll allow you access under one circumstance, this is not for discussion, you won't be able to access ninjutsu, or genjutsu, and you will sit at a table and let the book keeper bring books to you that you ask for, agreed?" Naruto nodded, "That's reasonable, I can see why you would ask that, if I find a way to be able to do shinobi activities could I train to be able to do it, if it required chakra to do?"
"That will be my requirement, you must be able to do it by the time the academy starts, or no becoming a ninja, got it?" Naruto nodded and stuck out his hand, "A deal then?"
The old man shook his hand, "You have till the academy starts to have a solution, you have till the second year to complete it, on top of that you have to keep up with the book work of the academy." The boy nodded and the old man left, a few more days and he'd have eyes back, it was only then he would be able start to achieve his goal, the first of what would be many to the mantle of Hokage.
