An: Hello Ladies and gents. Merry Christmas, here's your first Christmas present. A Naruto neglect challenge featuring Hachishaku-sama. Yes I brought the 8 foot ghost waifu into play again in this fic.

Naruto is neglected by his parents for his Brother and Sister. That is until Hachishaku-sama came into the picture and took Naruto from his neglective parents. This my first neglect challenge so expect Some Minato and Kushina bashing along with Konoha bashing. So let's get started.

Chapter 1: A Son forgotten.

( Konoha)

Here we are, in the land of Fire, as we head to a village called Konoha, known as the Leaf Village. A Village full of Shinobi's and Kunoichi's where they are dependent on their strict teachings and Teamwork. Our story isn't about the village it is about a shunned boy who is neglected by his own parents for his Brother and Sister.

Kushina Uzumaki, Uzu's Princess and former jinchuriki of the nine tails gave birth to triplets.

Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki was the first born.

Then the second born Menma Namikaze Uzumaki.

Third born Naruko Namikaze Uzumaki.

These three were the children of Minato Namikaze the 4th Hokage of Konoha. And Kushina Uzumaki.

Both Menma and Naruko hold the Nine tails due to Minato splitting both kyuubi's and sealed them into his second son and Daughter.

You see what happened was, a Masked man had attacked Konoha by unsealing the Kyuubi out of Kushina right after she gave birth to her triplets, and controlled the Kyuubi to attack Konoha and destroy everything killing lots of people who were caught in the Fox's way. Minato had fought the man head on and took his son and daughter along with the fox. He summoned the Shinigami to split the Kyuubi into two and seal them both into his Son Menma and Naruko, After the deed was done Minato was spared by the Shinigami so that he could live with his family.

And after that Minato had declared that both his son and daughter are hero's for holding the Kyuubi at bay. Of course the villagers decided to worship and love their Hero's.

Our first born is currently looking out the window watching his Parents train his brother and Sister.

Saddened and heartbroken that He wasn't shown that much attention. He didn't understand why was his brother and sister getting more attention than him? Why were they training and he wasn't?

Lowering his head with a sad sigh he decides to leave the house and go be alone.

He was treated like a outcast and wasn't as important as his Brother and Sister. Shunned by many in the village, except Hinata Hyuuga who he saved from the Kumo ambassador who attempted to kidnap her. Hinata was forever in his debt and wanted to be his friend. Hitomi friend of Kushina approved same with Hiashi, and told Minato and Kushina about the incident they gave Naruto little praise for what he's done.

He hardly had any friends, Hinata was his only.

Our 8 year old lonely boy was on the Hokage monument. Watching the view with lots of questions on his mind.

Do his parents even know he existed?

Hell even his own Godparents show his siblings more attention.

More questions going through his head.

As he looked up at the sky.

(A Week later)

It indeed has been a week since Naruto had been wandering alone his parents would take his siblings out while he was left, even his godparents took his siblings out to train.

"I wish I had someone who would show me attention... and love... I wish I was just as important as my siblings... please Kami hear my wish." Naruto said in prayer looking out the window bored out of his mind.

( Elsewhere in the West)

Finally had been free of her accused prison Hachishaku-sama the 8 feet tall woman had indeed been out taking away young victims and killing them as of late. Same with killing Monks.

Ad she recently slaughtered group of Monks who stood in her way.

"Po... Po... Po... Po... Po..."

She flicked the blood off her Nodaichi Sword.

She raised her hand as a white bubble glowed around her fist and hit the air making it crack causing a tremor to hit directly at a Monk Temple destroying it on the spot.

Now satisfied after killing 56 monks this week and killing 75 children.

Hachishaku-sama looked up at the sky looking confused. She's never felt confused her gaze was fixated on the East. As if something was calling her, a presence calling her, a disturbance that told her that a young presence calls her.

Why was this unknown disturbance calling her?

And it seemed child like.

That confused her greatly.

A child presence wants her? Does this said child even know what she is?

Deciding to sheath her sword, she decides to go to the East and see her suspicions and see this Child.

"Po. Po. Po. Po. Po."

She decided to walk and head for the East.

( Back in Konoha)

"So what's the plan for the kids Minato." Asked Jiraiya his sensei who is a Sannin.

"Well for their birthday I plan on making Menma the Clan heir. You still taking Menma as a apprentice?" Asked Minato with Jiraiya nodding and smiling

"Of course I'll take the brat as a apprentice." Jiraiya beamed .

"Perfect! Knowing Tsunade just may take Naruko as a apprentice and teach her." Minato said while both him and Jiraiya smiled along with Tsunade who smirked, Kushina at this point was with Menma and Naruko treating them to Ramen.

The Sandaime Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at them with Disapproval on his aged face.

"Ahem." He said with the three now turning their attention on him.

"Minato... what about your firstborn? Your son Naruto? What do you have planned for him?" The old Kage said frowning.

"Naruto? Uh... I nothing really, he's not ready to join his brother and sister yet." Answered Minato with the Sandaime releasing light KI.

"Whatever do you mean not ready? Surely he should be ready?" The Sandaime asked frowning

"Sensei. Menma and Naruko has to be trained, they both hold the Kyuubi within them, Naruto doesn't, hence why me and Tsunade-hime are training them!" Cut in Jiraiya with his Sensei now glaring.

"So just because they have the Kyuubi within them Naruto still can't be trained?" Sarutobi said with a piercing glare with both his students and Minato feeling shivers down their spine from the "Professor's" Stare.

"Sensei please hear us out on why me and Minato are doing this. The great toad elder foretold a prophecy that is about to unravel and both of Minato's children are in the center of it we have to train them for the sake of the village, the great toad elder foretold that a great evil will come from the West and start a conquest here in the east and it is up to Menma and Naruko together to fight this great evil that is about to come and change things here in the East in its own image." Jiraiya explained defending him and Minato but Hiruzen looked livid.

"So you're basically neglecting Naruto for his Brother and Sister? And how do you know if the prophecy does come true?" Hiruzen still with a glare with the three wincing.

"Sarutobi, i know you don't like this anymore than we do but it's for the sake of the village if not the world. Someday we will focus on Naruto's training right now we have to focus on his brother and Sister." Minato said hoping the Sandaime could see reason.

Unfortunately the Sandaime stood up with a look of disappointment on his face.

"You better pray to Kami that Naruto doesn't wind up becoming scorned because of your idiocy Minato, you too Jiraiya. What says you Tsunade? Surely you wouldn't go through with this? After all Naruto is your godson too." Hiruzen said with disappointment in his voice with both men looking like they've been slapped in the face.

"Sarutobi-Sensei... as much as I don't like this either but think about preparing Naruko-Chan to face this great evil that is coming." Tsunade said with the Sandaime glaring at her.

"I'm ashamed of all of you, I'm sure Mito Uzumaki and your great grand uncle and great grandfather would be very ashamed of you Tsunade, I don't know what Kushina would think but Mito would be disappointed in her also. If Orochimaru hadn't turned evil he would have agreed with me on this." Said Sarutobi Hiruzen as he walked out the office unable to see their faces leaving them shocked.

Minato felt conflicted about this, having heard what the Sandaime said and that he wouldn't agree to their plan.

Was he doing the right thing?

"Kid don't worry. Sensei will come around just give him some time." Jiraiya assured

Minato looked down nodding slightly.

( The next day)

Naruto would be sitting with Hinata. Both sitting on a field alone looking at the Sky.

"Naruto-kun are you okay?" Hinata had asked she didn't need her Byukugan to see through his mask which she is aware he is wearing.

"I am fine Hinata-Chan.." he answered but she frowned lightly

"Naruto-kun you know you don't have to lie..." She pointed out seeing him sigh knowing she was right.

"No, I'm not okay Hina-Chan. It's just I don't get or understand why my parents giving so much attention to my brother and sister and they act like I don't exist... every time I try to get their attention they either ignore me or brush me off to something else. They train Menma and Naruko everyday including my own godparents.. I just feel like they forgotten about me and don't even want to train me." Naruto said sadly with Hinata also looking saddened at that.

She wonders should she bring this up to her Mother and father.

Because this isn't right. Naruto-Kun shouldn't be saddened and his parents should start showing him love and affection.

"There there Naruto-kun... I'm sure they haven't forgotten you entirely." Said Hinata putting a hand on his shoulder.

And at that moment Naruto's brother Menma showed up.

"Hinata-Chan there you are! Why are you with this loser? Come hang with me." Menma said causing Hinata to surprisingly glare at him.

"No thanks. Can't you see I'm with him now." Hinata said seeing him frown.

"What do you see in that hopeless Loser? He's not even a Clan heir! Which will be me soon!" Menma said with both Naruto and Hinata widening their eyes

"Hold on I'm the first born. It should go to me." Naruto said standing up.

"Oh like you can ever be clan heir. You haven't been trained yet! Father is making me Clan heir on our birthday brother not you!" Menma said with a smug look as Naruto's mask was slowly cracking after hearing that.

Naruto started to walk away.

"That's right walk away!" Menma said now with his attention on Hinata who also walked away.

"Where do you think you're going Hina-chan! That loser is leaving!" Menma said with her looking at him with rare anger.

"I'm going home." She spoke rather coldly at him as she continued to walk her way home.

( Namikaze house)

Naruto came home with a depressed look after learning that he is losing his clan heir status. He decided to go upstairs and get in bed.

As he decided to sleep.

( Dreamscape)

Now in his own dream, looking sadly as rain clouds appeared in his dream raining, with thunder booming in the sky. Feeling very depressed and saddened.

That was until it stopped raining, looking confused. He heard a strange sound he has never heard of before.

"Po... Po... Po... Po..."a voice chanted

Raising a brow and looking more confused he stood up from his position and followed the source of that sound.

"Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po..."

When he got there he saw a wall hedge and behind it was a tall woman, wearing a Straw hat as she opened her dark blue eye meeting eye to eye with Naruto. Naruto couldn't believe how beautiful she looked.

"She's huge! Who is she!?" Thought Naruto and was wondering why was this very tall woman in his dream.

The tall woman walked around the wall hedge for Naruto to get a better look at her.

She was so tall and slender, long black hair, white morning dress billowing in the wind she wore sandals. Her chest looked very large it rivaled Tsunade's bust but way bigger than Tsunade's.

"Po... Po... Po... Po..." the tall woman chanted as she walked towards Naruto with a warm smile on her face. Naruto didn't seem frightened or scared of her, it was like he could actually trust her.

"What is your name, Little boy?" Said the tall woman.

"Naruto, Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki.." He answered

"You seem like a Nice boy..." She said looking at him.

"Why are you in my dream Miss-" He said with her stopping him putting a finger on his lips to quiet him.

"My name is Hachishaku-sama Naru-kun." She said moving the finger away.

"Do you have any friends?" She asked seeing him have a down cast look.

"I only have Hinata-Chan as a friend.. I don't have that many due to them being my brother and sister's friends now..." He said sadly making her frown.

"Tell me Naru-kun... do your parents ever notice you?" She asked seeing him shake his head.

"No they focus solely on my brother and sister... and plan to make my brother Menma the clan heir when it should be me since I'm the first born.." He said seeing her raise a eyebrow with a frown on her face.

"I sense neglect... so they favor those two over him? This is the boy I've received this disturbance from... he's the one." Hachishaku-Sama's thought

"I will see you soon Naru-kun." Hachishaku-sama said as she started to vanish

"Wait! Where are you going!? When will I see you again!" He yelled but she vanished

Who was she? And why was she in his dream?

( The next Day)

It was The triplets birthday as there was a big party held in the Namikaze household

For the Menma Namikaze Uzumaki and Naruko Namikaze Uzumaki.

Lots of presents given from other clans and what not. It was then Minato had announced Menma as Clan heir. Naruto was in window with a sad look after hearing that as he decided to walk away from his window, worst birthday ever.

Hinata and her mother arrived who looked to be pregnant carrying her little sister Hanabi.

Kushina walked up to them.

"Hitomi-chan! Hinata-Chan! Welcome to the party! Here for Menma and Naruko's big day!" Kushina said with a smile as her friend surprisingly glared at her.

"We aren't here for neither of them we are here for Naruto-kun." Said Hitomi who was very displeased with her friend after Hinata had told her what happened.

"Naruto? Why are you here for him?" She asked with Hitomi's glare increasing

"It's his birthday too you know. So it's true that you do favor your other son and daughter over him." Says Hitomi with disgust written on her face with Kushina looking shocked.

"Wait a minute Hitomi it's not like that! I love all three of my children!" Said Kushina hoping her friend doesn't think that way about her

"If that were true then why are you not defending Naruto's right to be clan heir?" Said Hitomi said with anger with Kushina flinching and looking away

"Hitomi-Chan please hear me out-" Kushina decided to say but was cut off when Hitomi spoke again walking pass her.

"You disappoint me Kushina, and you call yourself a Uzumaki. We are getting Naruto and taking him somewhere special for his birthday since this party is about your "favorites". " Hissed Hitomi with Kushina looking hurt by that watching

"Hitomi-Chan wait!" Pleaded Kushina who started to go after her friend and try to explain.

As soon as they got into the house Hinata Decided to upstairs since she knew where Naruto's room would be.

"Naruto-Kun it's me!" Hinata would open the door and only saw the room empty but she did spot a note on his bed walking over to it she picked it up and began reading it only for her eyes to widen and tears shed as she immediately ran out his room running pass Kushina and her mother.

"Hinata-Chan?" Her mother said seeing her daughter run pass her crying as she decided to go to the room to see what made her daughter run like that as she saw the note and picked it up reading it also only for her to widen her eyes.

"Hinata WAIT!" Screamed Hitomi

"Hitomi what's going on?" Kushina asked only to receive a slap from her friend shocked that her friend slapped her.

"This is all you and Minato's fault! Because of both of your actions your firstborn son is running away!" Screamed Hitomi who ran after her daughter as Kushina looked worried and widened her eyes as she looked saddened

"What have I done!?" Kushina thought running to go alert Minato.

( With Naruto)

He couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stand to live there at his family's house and decides to run away. What did it matter if he did run away it's not like they are going to care anyway since they're so focused on His siblings.

He would keep running that was until he heard that sound again.

"Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po... Po..."

He stopped in his tracks as he turned and saw Hachishaku-sama in the alleyway.

Widening his eyes he couldn't believe she's actually here. And that she's real!

"Ready to go Naruto-kun..." she said in her soft voice

"Yes.." was his reply.

As she let out a hand waiting for him to accept it.

He slowly walked towards her hand getting ready to accept it.

Not that far from him Hinata had made it and saw him with a very tall woman she has never seen before.

"Naruto-kun!" She yelled running towards him

Only for her to be too late as he grabbed ahold of Hachishaku-sama's hand as the two instantly vanished shocking Hinata.

"NARUTO-KUN!" Screamed Hinata
