Naruto sat in his room glaring out the window into the training field out back of his family's house, the curtains were mostly closed and the lights were off.
The room itself was mostly bare, almost clinically so, the only things present in the room was a bed, desk and dresser. More so everything inside it was white, and it looked to have been cleaned so obsessively that there wasn't even a spec of dirt.
Looking around he couldn't help but frown as he looked around, he hated the colour white, it was too bright and clean, like everything else in his life.
Naruto was one of three children, triplets in fact. Turning back to the window he once again looked out, watching as his sisters trained. Mito, continually hit and kicked a training dummy, their father Minato watching on from the side lines occasionally calling out pointers to her or words of encouragement. He could see the pattern of her moves, could almost hear the beat her hits were making as they hit the training dummy.
On the other side of the family training ground, he could see his other sister Erza, she unlike Mito was moving through a number of swordsmanship stances wielding a wooden sword in her right hand. Kushina like Minato was stood on the side line, smiling as she directed her training, teaching her different stances as she did so.
Both of his sisters looked like mini versions of their mother with the same long red hair and light purple eyes, but unlike Kushina they had three whisker marks on each cheek.
Mito was dressed in a baggy white shirt, red shinobi trousers, to finish this off her outfit she had white bandages wrapped around her hands and wrists. Erza on the other hand, had taken a recent liking to wearing armour, with a blue shirt beneath her armour and heavy metal boots as oppose to traditional shinobi sandles.
But while they both looked like mini versions of Kushina, the resemblance was nothing compared to how much they looked like each other. The only way to tell them apart was there clothes, and sometimes their hair styles.
There was a reason why Naruto was sat sulking in his room whilst his sisters were outside being trained by their parents Minato and Kushina. The reason for this separation began almost nine years ago, on the night he and his sisters were born, the Kyuubi, the nine tailed demon fox had been forcibly extracted from his mother, who had been left weak from giving birth to both Naruto and his two sisters.
Luckily Minato had been prepared and been able to reseal it before it could do any real damage to the village, he had also been able to seal just enough of the chakra in the air into his wife in order to keep Kushina alive, despite having had the Kyuubi removed from her.
When it came down to sealing the Kyuubi again, Minato wasn't able to seal it back into his wife as in her weakened state it would kill her. Instead he had had to seal it in his own children, who due to their Uzumaki heritage were the only ones who could safely contain the beast.
The fox was therefore split in half, with the Kyuubi's Yin chakra being sealed into Mito and its Yang chakra being sealed into Erza. His sisters were chosen as they were healthier and stronger than Naruto who was born the smallest of the triplets, the runt of the litter so to say.
Because of this both his sisters needed training from a young age in order to control the demonic chakra that was contained inside their bodies, along with the violent reaction that came with it. Naruto had seen them lose control once from his window, and both had been little more than wild animals until his parents slapped a seal on them to put them down and help them regain control.
Unfortunately though Naruto had not had a part of the Kyuubi sealed into him that night, he had not been left unaffected from that hellish night, though unlike his sisters he didn't get a power boost from the effects of that night.
According to the doctors, the Kyuubi's chakra had affected both Naruto and his sister's bodies while in their mother's womb. Mito and Erza weren't affected by it because they had the Kyuubi sealed inside them, their bodies having it's chakra to fight the effects. Something Naruto did not have.
They didn't even have a name for what Naruto had, and he really hoped they didn't name it after him.
The problem Naruto's body had supposedly developed from exposure to the Kyuubi's chakra at such a young age, was that it only converted around twenty percent of the food he ate into nutrients, making it so that no matter how much he ate he was always starving.
His body was painfully thin and weak, and because of that Naruto tended to be constantly fatigued and tire very quickly. The Doctors had actually expected him to have died before he reached the age of two, and were shocked when he passed what they called the 'danger age'.
While they claimed he would never be completely healthy, they also said that he wasn't going to just keel over and die without warning.
However despite having got passed the 'danger age' that still didn't stop his family from treating him like glass, like a strong wind would make him break. This had led to his parents developing an over protectiveness when dealing with Naruto, something his sisters had also picked up.
Therefore while his sisters were being trained by his parents to be ninja Naruto was forced to simple watch, and if he even looked like he might ask for training they would give him this…look, like the mere idea of him training terrified them.
They always said they would train him when he was older and healthier, that they needed to focus on his sisters because of the fox, but Naruto knew they were just trying to placate him. They never intended to train him, at least not unless he gave them no choice, instead they probably wanted him to remain a civilian and stay safe behind the walls of Konoha for the rest of his life.
Unlike Mito and Erza who took after their mother, Naruto took more after their father Minato. In fact, in the same way his sisters looked like their mother, Naruto was a near exact copy of his father.
He had the same golden blonde hair with random spikes sticking up in every direction, and the same blue eyes. At least he would have been if he wasn't so thin and pale. His skin was so pale it had an almost grey tinge to it, and was wrapped so tight around his body you could see the bones. His eyes also seemed dimmer than his father's almost lifeless in fact.
Like his sisters Naruto had three whisker like birthmarks on his cheeks, though said cheeks were sunken in. There were also dark rings around his eyes, making it look like he constantly had a pair of black eyes.
Despite the fact that his room was white, Naruto's clothes were quite dark, making his skinny unhealthy figure stand out even more.
He wore a pair of black shinobi trousers, a grey T-shirt that despite being so small was still baggy on Naruto's body, and over the top he had a thick black hoodie with the hood pulled up to cover his hair. This was mostly so that his skin was covered, leaving only his face and hands uncovered, as no matter where he went he always felt cold.
With a small grunt, Naruto turned away from the window and closed the curtain fully and plunging the room into complete darkness. Yet despite this, Naruto could still see perfectly as if the room was full of light. Naruto always hated bright like, it hurt his eyes and burned his skin. He much preferred the dark, where he could see even if other people couldn't.
Moving to his bed Naruto quickly got on his knees and reached under it, pulling out a scroll a moment later with a sigh. It was a scroll he had taken from his father's library, a very important scroll even if the information it held wasn't considered hard to find.
The scroll contained the method to unlock a person's chakra system, giving them access to the energy running through their body. If his family knew he had this, they would undoubtable take it from him.
His father thought he was too weak to try and unlock his chakra, and didn't want Naruto to even try for fear of him getting hurt. His mother would be more than happy to never even let him leave the house again, and if she had her way Naruto would be forced to walk around in a bubble. Mito and Erza were no better than their parents, and despite them being the same age treated him more like a little brother.
Naruto had been studying the scroll for the last week, making sure he understood everything. He didn't dare try and unlock his chakra in the house while his family was around through, his mother was a Sensory Type after all and would be able to feel him unlock it if she was nearby.
That was why he had been waiting for today, or more precisely tonight to finally go through with it.
Tonight his parents would be out of the house, leaving only his sisters for Naruto to get passed. While Mito was starting to show signs of being a Sensory Type like their mother she was inexperienced, and wouldn't be able to tell if he wasn't in the house. She would however feel it if he unlocked his chakra, which meant he would need to get out the house without them knowing.
Naruto found his right hand moving to his pocket, absently palming the kunai inside it that he had stolen from his sister Erza's room. He would unlock his chakra and finally prove to his family that he wasn't as weak as they all believed and that he could actually be a ninja, just like them.
