OC in Naruto

A day in the life of ROOT

I hold my broken left arm to my chest as I heave out my breakfast once again onto the cold hard ground. Sweat drops from every part of my 4 year old body as crawl in a desperate attempt to move away from my emotionless trainer. I know that if I don't get back up soon it will get worse because they know I'll be fine by morning tomorrow after doing this for as long as I could walk. My adult mind reasons that I should just collapse and grit my teeth but as my underdeveloped brain registers the sight of my 'father' I push myself harder to get back up faster.

I know that the old bastard Danzo isn't my father and is the reason for all my pain but my mind can't keep up it is like the software being too good for the hardware so I just default to doing as required of my preestablished developed patterns. Like doing my best to please him and make him happy no matter how much it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. Once I'm back up on my feet the trainer is upon me trying to crush me into the ground with no mercy.

I might have a lot of muscle for my age but it is nothing compared to this full grown adult however the physical arts of the ninja were not about strength. I might be a small child of 4 years but as long as I knead my chakra properly I could overpower his strikes. Ducking under his strike I get into his guard and swing out my fist at his chest. Chakra filled my arm, covering it in faint blue flames. It met its target as I could feel and hear the sick crunch and cracks as the grown man's rib cage likely shattered and stabbed into his organs. My trainer coughs up blood that drips onto my face as I stand still before he stumbles back and falls to the ground unmoving, dead.

I stand up straight and hold my broken left arm at the side no matter how painful it is as I hear the rhythmic tapping of a cane approach. "That was sloppy you should have killed him a lot sooner with less wounds and exhaustion. Do better." He walks away as I clench my fist hard enough to draw blood while hanging my head with shame. My adult mind reasons that I shouldn't care what a monster like Danzo says but my emotional and underdeveloped brain tosses it out as it coldly reviews the fight to see what I could have done better in hopes of receiving praise next time.

I feel the pull in my stomach as a burning chakra bubbles just under the surface of my skin restoring my body and ridding me of my exhaustion. I check my arm to make certain it healed back right and my palm before muttering a quiet "thanks" to the empty room but I know the recipient got my message as he is always there in seal on my stomach. I shake my head knowing better than to expect a response as I go to the showers and clean myself of sweat, grime, and blood followed by a small meal and drink to replenish anything I lost during my training. Not to forget my growth enhancement pills that I must always take. After that I take some bandages and get any small wounds and bruises that my tenant deemed not worth it's time to heal.

Checking my schedule I've got nothing else to do as it is consider rest time but I'm back to the full schedule tomorrow. As per my habits I make my way out to the village under a henge and sticking to the shadows till I make it to the preacademy class that is playing outside right now. As much as my childish side wants to join them both sides of me remember what happened the one time I did and I don't want to spend a month in solitary again so I sit in the tree branches watching them more specifically one child in particular. That head of golden blond hair on the most excitable and energetic of all the kids down below. My adult side once again ponders about just how happy Naruto is now that I exist in this world and have taken on the darkness of the world that he was supposed to suffer.

It's true really because originally Danzo had released the information about the Kyuubi being sealed into Naruto however my existence changed things now that he has a Jinchuriki of his own to use how he pleases including being extra tough on me because 'we have a spare Kyuubi in young Naruto'. I'm Toshiro Namikaze Uchiha the bastard son of Minato who has the Yin half of the nine tails sealed inside of me but because of the fact that I'm an Uchiha I couldn't be trusted nor could my extended family so a compromise was reached that I would be given to Danzo and ROOT to be trained as a loyal Shinobi of Konoha and kept far away from the Uchiha clan. The only Uchiha I'm even remotely allowed to speak with is Itachi not that he is aware of my situation yet and I've only briefly met him once when he was picking up Sasuke.

Naruto on the other hand is my half brother and surprisingly enough Danzo encourages me to watch him as some sort of reminder that I exist only in the dark and can never interact with the light. It is weird seeing this version of Naruto as he is genuinely happy has lots of friends and no one treats him particularly coldly unless he pranks them, not that he is prone to doing so. The worst thing in his life is the fact that he hasn't been adopted from the orphanage but he doesn't mind too much as he is close with the matron and other kids there.

I sit in the tree for a while until sundown comes when Naruto leaves with the other orphan kids with the Matron back orphanage. He did get a little sad that he had no parents of his own to get him but bounced back when one of the smaller kids asked for a piggyback ride. I continue to sit there for a while all alone as night descends on the village I just sit staring at whatever catches my interest until a ANBU arrives on the same tree branch as me silently staring as I get up and nod at him. He nods back and takes me back to the ROOT base to get dinner then go to bed so I can wake up nice and early for tommorows full day of training with no stops as usual.
