The Stranger

Living in the woods after being kicked out of the orphanage, Naruto Uzumaki is faced with a slew of impossible to make choices when he finds a half-dead stranger with no eyes washed up on the bank of the river in front of his makeshift home. Knowing that whoever did this to The Stranger is still out there, and that nobody will believe him if he tries to get help, Naruto rolls up his sleeves and decides he's going to do it himself. Whoever this boy is, Naruto is going to save him. Even if he has to read a book to do it.

Healing doesn't come easy to someone with as much chakra as Naruto has, but never let it be said that he backs down from a challenge. He's going to do this, and who knows. Maybe he'll unravel one of Konoha's darkest and best kept secrets whilst he does.

Or: Naruto finds Shisui Uchiha half dead on the bank of a river and learns medical ninjutsu to save him. Now, if only Shisui could remember who hurt him to begin with.
