This is my fourth story. Naruto: Mangekyou

Naruto will be like Tobi and Madara as he has Madara sealed in him.

A lot changes with Naruto having no Kyuubi, Madara not being in the Akatsuki as their leader.

As a Genin Naruto will start fifteen and this is M for a reason.

Pairing…Naruto/Kurenai

All the ages are older by two years and note this isn't canon …

Chapter 1

The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is widely acknowledged as the most powerful of the Tailed Beasts. Just a single swipe of its nine tails was supposed to be able to raise the greatest of waves and even flatten the tallest of mountains. Its gaze was supposed to be as hypnotic as the Sharingan itself. The truth though was far more devastating.

The Third Hokage may have seen the horrors of all three Great Shinobi wars but he would never forget that night even if it had been over fifteen years since then. Now he may have been known as the Professor but even he couldn't fathom the sheer destruction that the Demon's presence would cast over Konoha that night. So many Nin had lost their lives that day none whose loss was more devastating than the Fourth Hokage's. His now deceased successor had saved them all. Minato had sacrificed his life sealing the 'Kyuubi' into his own son. The same son who the Third now had to assign a Genin team…

Hiruzen took a long drag of his pipe, savouring the warmth in his chest as that last thought lingered.

Naruto was just so similar to Minato it was frightening. He was genius, perhaps once in a life time genius in fact just like his father. It was no surprise to the aged Hokage that the boy had attained the title of Rookie of the Year. Many were shocked that someone who barely attended the Academy and preferred to play pranks could do so. But the Third knew better. Beyond Naruto's playful facade was an unwavering drive to become Hokage. Hell despite his relatively young age Naruto had shown an almost unnatural affinity for both Nin and Genjutsu. It was frighteningly similar to the Uchiha.

Still for the Hokage personally it was just amusing to watch Naruto prove the doubters wrong. All this brought Hiruzen back to his current predicament which always seemed to be Naruto he thought with a chuckle. Who was he to be placed with for his Genin team?

As much as Kakashi wanted Naruto on his team to repay Minato his old sensei, he also wanted Sasuke Uchiha to repay Obito Uchiha, an old team mate of his. Simply having the two boys together was impossible because of fact that the two were the best of their age group. There was also the 'small' fact that the two went together like 'water and oil'. In fact Naruto-kun had made it a personal mission to embarrass the Uchiha heir whenever he could and nobody had ever caught him yet during one of his schemes. It was as if the boy would just 'disappear' from the crime scene itself. Whenever people interrogated him the blonde would just deliver the same alibi every time.

"But Naruto is a good boy…"

XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXX

In another part of Konoha the said 'predicament' was grinning like no tomorrow. As of a couple hours ago he was officially a Ninja. He could barely contain his glee behind his orange mask. To celebrate he'd decided to 'buy' himself some equipment and maybe a prank on some 'Leaf peoples' would follow. He walked into a small weapons store ignoring the look of disbelief that was etched on the owner's face at his entrance.

"Oh it's you." The man growled, his animosity not even hidden. He couldn't stand the sight of the 'demon' who'd taken his wife, and his daughter's mother.

After blowing a raspberry in the man's direction Naruto's eye's quickly flashed a hypnotic red for a second in the man's direction instantly the owner's mood shifted. It did a complete one eighty.

"Well if it isn't my favourite customer…" He smiled.

Naruto just waved him off. People were so weak against his eyes.

He began searching every pocket for a list he'd brought along. He searched and he searched. Damn his cloak had so many hiding places even he didn't know that half of them existed. Eventually though he grinned triumphantly as he pulled out a wrinkled note.

"Get me everything on here…"

Ryou took it and stroked his beard a calculating look on his face.

"Let's see wire, smoke bombs, exploding tags…" Realisation soon dawned on the retired Nin. "This wouldn't be for a prank would it?"

All Naruto could manage was a weak chuckle knowing he'd been found out.

The older man sighed.

"Just give me a minute kid…"

It didn't take long for Naruto to receive what he'd wanted.

"Here kid. I tossed in a couple of scrolls in too."

Naruto whistled appreciatively.

"Thanks old man, so what's the charge?" He questioned only to receive an expected shake of the head.

Sweet!

Hastily Naruto grabbed his items before rushing off dodging his way past an irate brunette bun haired girl who'd stomped into the shop looking more than worse for wear.

XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX

The blonde sighed to himself as he found himself in the barren streets of Konoha. So what was he to do now? Wait, what did he always do when he was bored? Oh right. He ghosted towards the clan district in search of Sasuke. Naruto couldn't stand the kid. Ever since his older brother Itachi had deserted Konoha, Sasuke had automatically assumed the role of clan heir. This change had marked the start of the new Uchiha heir rising to number one of Naruto's nuisances above both Konoha and even the Uchiha clan.

The Jinchuuriki froze mid step nearly falling over. His nuisances seemed suspiciously similar to Madara-sensei's. Meh, he shrugged. His list was more personal in all honesty. He paused once more before agreeing with himself. Yeah. His hate list was more personal.

He again began to move and it wasn't long till the Uchiha compound came in sight. He ground to a halt though at the sight of two of his greatest annoyances. One was Sasuke the other was the moron's father and current Uchiha clan head, Fugaku.

Naruto inwardly groaned at the sight of the duo. He groaned again as well as Sasuke turned to him with his Uchiha bloodline, the Sharingan activated. Naruto had only seen the same red eyed glare every single damn time before he'd beaten the younger Uchiha. The older of the Uchiha meanwhile had already decided to act his usual self towards Naruto. The blonde if nothing else intrigued him because of the skills he'd already begun to display.

"Ah Naruto-san what brings you to my home?" Fugaku questioned, his voice giving nothing away.

If it was possible Naruto frown just got bigger. He didn't even need to use his own inherited Sharingan to predict what words were coming next.

"Are you finally going to join our clan?"

There it was. It was the same every time Naruto had ran into Fugaku, the Head of the Uchiha or Hiashi, the head of the Hyūga clan. It was the reason why he personally hated both of them.

Sasuke's look immediately became one of disbelief at those words.

"Why would you want him with us, the Uchiha?"

'The elite'Naruto added sarcastically as an expected afterthought.

Fugaku sighed unimpressed by the naivety his 'only' son showed.

"Sasuke, you know that ensuring the future of the clan will one day be your priority." He scolded calm as ever.

"But still why this loser of all people…" Sasuke persisted disbelievingly.

Naruto's brow arched at those words.

"Last I checked Sasuke-chan…"

Sasuke-'chan' grit his teeth at the reference.

"I've never lost once to you."

Again Sasuke grit his teeth because he knew it was true.

"Just admit it." Naruto grinned behind his mask. "I'm pretty damn good right!"

Sasuke growled which could roughly be translated as a drawn out no.

Naruto though just grinned as he shook his head. He turned to the Uchiha leader, his response to the earlier question now ready.

"I was thinking Fugaku-san..."

Fugaku was actually beginning to feel that Naruto would come round. Not that his face had changed even in the slightest from its neutral persona but still.

"Of maybe accepting Hiashi-san's proposal..."

The older Uchiha's brow furrowed at that. Since when had those damned Hyūga approached Naruto? What made the matter more precarious was that this wasn't a matter he could approach the Hokage about either because the old fool's stance on the jailer was final.

Naruto began snapping his fingers trying to regain the older Uchiha's attention.

"Oi! I meant I could marry Hinata-san or Hanabi-san." He continued.

Fugaku's eyebrow rose at the latter declaration.

"Isn't Hanabi-san slightly young for you?"

The girl was what eleven, twelve maybe.

Naruto just calmly shrugged his shoulders. Yeah he knew the age difference so he'd more than wait on her front. Hinata on the other hand was his age so he could still do that in more ways than one.

It would be his, own version of the clan initiation act.

At that thought Naruto smirked as he turned to Sasuke. "You hear that Sasuke-chan, I'd get to have 'lots' of wives while you just get one."

Again the young Uchiha snarled. All he had were commoners after him.

"Who knows maybe I could marry an Uchiha too. You wouldn't mind would you Sasuke-'sama'?" Naruto teased.

Sasuke's sneer immediately became a smirk.

"It's good that you know your place loser…"

Naruto just began wagging an index finger mockingly.

"Uh uh, I'd be Hokage by then so you'd still be behind me…"

With those words he quickly bowed to Fugaku before running away leaving a fuming Sasuke in his wake.

XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX

Upon reaching his home the blonde sighed to himself before he tossed his mask aside and his cloak soon followed as he made his way to his bathroom. He wiped the mirror in front of him clean before his eyes came to life. First it was just red with three black tomoe in each eye. The black began to blur in whirlpool and soon Naruto was able to say what he wanted his tone, no longer one of amusement.

"Tsukiyomi (Goddess of the moon)." He breathed whilst staring at his reflection.

It was time to see the real reason why he'd never aligned himself to the Uchiha or Hyūga.

Naruto sighed in contentment as he was transported to another became lost in the gaze of the red moon. Here was where he taught. Here was where his mind became stronger.

"It's been a while hasn't it Naruto-kun…"

The blonde turned to the Uchiha who emerged from the Shadows in his mindscape.

"It has, hasn't it Madara-sensei…" He bowed respectfully.

The older Uchiha moved beside his pupil. If he was honest, the boy was more like a son to him.

"So...You said you wanted to speak to me once I graduated, well…"

Naruto had graduated so the former Uchiha leader nodded.

"I think it's time Naruto-kun that you consider joining my traitorous family..."

Naruto quickly squashed such thoughts with a simple answer.

"No."

The Uchiha stared at his legacy slightly interested.

"Let me guess, Fugaku-san?"

Naruto answered with a little nod of his head.

"He's no match for you and you know it."Madara stated because it was simply the truth. Naruto had trained as much as he could have in the last ten years and was now more than a match for most people in the Shinobi world never mind just Konoha.

Madara barely stifled a chuckle at that thought. The Uchiha were weak. It was just that simple to him.

"Naruto-kun you underestimate your sway as the Jailer of the 'Kyuubi'."

At the look of confusion on his holder's face the Uchiha persisted.

"Naruto-kun if you feed them lies they will feast."

"True." Naruto acknowledged. He'd anonymously spread word that his traits as the 'Kyuubi's' holder could be passed on to his own heirs and apparently two of the main clans of Konoha had fallen for it.

Looks like it was story time the Uchiha concluded.

"It's like my attack on Konoha…"

Naruto then let out a loud 'awwwwww'. Kami he'd heard this story so many times before.

"…and you'll hear it over and over till you learn from it…"The Uchiha interrupted reading his student like a book. "What the majority of this village knows as the Kyuubi is nothing more than myth. Yet they believed it."

"Which is all the more reason for me to bide my time and wait." Naruto grumbled.

Madara managed a short applause. Seemed he and his student worked on the same wavelength.

"Now you're beginning to understand Naruto-kun…"

Naruto looked clueless right then.

"Wait you wanted me to argue against you!"

Madara just nodded a look of no nonsense on his face.

"This is the only real amusement I have until you kill the Uchiha."

"Fair enough…" Naruto agreed.

"I do enjoy your toying with Sasuke-kun though…"The Uchiha then smirked which Naruto managed his match with his own. His sensei wasn't the only one.

"So where were we then…"

Naruto pondered that for a second.

"The lesson from when the Kyuubi attacked out beautiful home…" He murmured sarcastically.

Again the Uchiha nodded.

"Do you remember what the Fourth Hokage did that night?"He questioned knowing the answer.

"He gave you a death wish sensei." Naruto deadpanned.

"True, true…" The Uchiha surrendered. Even with his knowledge, he hadn't foreseen the intervention of the Shinigami himself.

The blonde began to rack his brain in deep thought.

"He asked the village to see me as a hero…"

Well that wish had kind of gone out of the window.

"Again true but what lesson can you take from that?" Madara implored knowing his 'heir' would catch on eventually.

Naruto sighed to himself before taking a wild guess.

"Err… Actions speak louder than words…"

Bingo. Madara clapped once in satisfaction.

"You're getting better at this Naruto-kun…"

Naruto grinned smugly pressing a hand to his heart.

"Well I am an Uchiha ne and one of the elite." He said adding a mock salute.

The aged Uchiha shook his head in disbelief at his antics. Kids these days...

"Come we have training that needs discussing…"

After a little speech the three days that were gifted by Tsukiyomi passed as if they were nothing. What Naruto needed to do now was obvious. He needed to move up through the Shinobi ranks which meant that for now the Uchiha and anything else could both wait as they would fall by his student's hands.

With Naruto gone from his confines the former Uchiha leader smirked as his own eyes glowed ominously. One day soon all his goals would be achieved. Then everything would be as it should be. Because the world would all see the Sharingan's true power. They would see his power.

Because despite being sealed into a child, he would have his vengeance or his name wasn't Madara Uchiha...
