The basic concept is that as a young child, Naruto is placed in the care of a mid-ranked Jounin.This Jounin, whose wife and newborn son were killed in the Kyuubi attack hates Naruto with a passion, but is also such a personal coward that he doesn't dare openly hurt Naruto for fear that the Hokage will kill him in return.
He agonizes over this dilemma for a long time before coming up with a cunning plan: he'll 'train' Naruto, using onlt the most dangerous of techniques he is able to find, in the hopes that Naruto will be killed in a 'training accident.' Somehow Naruto manages to survive everything The Jounin is able to throw at him, and the Genin exam is now approaching.
The Jounin's name? Genma Saotome.
May the flames begin.
