Summary
     Naruto has always been looked down upon and mistreated, all because
     of the Nine Tailed Beast being sealed within him. What if Naruto
     things didn’t go as well as it did in the show, what if he came out
     of it darker and mistrustful of others. But at the same time, what if
     he finds someone who is willing to train him unlike his teachers were
     willing to do.
     And what if after failing his third attempt at passing the Academy,
     and the person who is training the person dies, he meets up with a
     few of the Overlord’s minions within the forest after he stole the
     Scroll of Seals. How would that change Naruto’s life, would he take
     the role of Overlord or would he keep following his dream to become
     the next Hokage?

Summary: Naruto has always been looked down upon and mistreated, all because of
the Nine Tailed Beast being sealed within him. What if Naruto things didn’t go
as well as it did in the show, what if he came out of it darker and mistrustful
of others. But at the same time, what if he finds someone who is willing to
train him unlike his teachers were willing to do.
 
And what if after failing his third attempt at passing the Academy, and the
person who is training the person dies, he meets up with a few of the
Overlord’s minions within the forest after he stole the Scroll of Seals. How
would that change Naruto’s life, would he take the role of Overlord or would he
keep following his dream to become the next Hokage?
 
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or any of the associated characters. I may or
may not own any jutsu that I come up with but as I doubt I'll make any money
off them just tell me if you use them. I'm sorry about any spoilers from
anything but that's the risk of reading fanfiction.
 
Warnings: I don’t know what is to come, as I’m writing this as I go along, but
if you read some of my other stories, you can guess what is going to come. The
story will be a bit more darker than in the manga and anime. Alive Kushina,
Dark/Powerful/Smarter Naruto, Underage Sex, Smut/Lemons, Violence, Torture,
Threesomes, Foursomes, Harem, Naruto having a sister, and Incest just naming a
few things that’ll appear in this story. There’ll be OCs also, one of them
being Naruto’s new teacher, who’ll help make Naruto smarter. Naruto will have
two pet foxes, and will be at least two/three years old than the rest of the
students we see at the start of the show.
 
Before you complain about this, please let me explain, the reason that Naruto
will be two years old is to fill in the big plot hole in the show - and that’s
his age. Before the show, he meant to have failed the Academy two other times,
but yet he is still twelve years old. Now some of you will say that he could
have entered the exams early as it is possible, I have to call BULL there.
Sorry if anyone in the anime/manga that was going to enter the exams early, it
wouldn’t be Naruto. As in the anime/manga there were so many others who could
do so with ease, but NOT Naruto. So for this reason, he’ll be older in this
story.
 
There’ll be some minor Third Hokage bashing, as with all his power, he done
nothing to help Naruto that much. All he does is keep an eye on him, but seeing
how he is treated by others after the learn about him having the Nine-Tail
Beast within him, does nothing to make his life better. Or at least not from
what I have seen so far. If you read Harry Potter, he reminds me of Dumbledore,
have all that power but yet does nothing to help one child who needs his help.
 
Author’s_Note: Now the story came about when ChaosSonic1, asked me about if I
watched Naruto a while back and I admitted that didn’t. But I have been
recently talking to him again, this time on Discord, and asked again and this
time I decided that I would give it a try. And as I watched it, I decided that
I would give it a try, as there were parts of the story I thought I could do
better.
 
Now before I start the story, I would like to say before people know about the
past of Naruto, there are those who read my stories that may not know. So I
want those people to know about it before we get to Naruto, and so there’ll be
less flashbacks. Don’t get me wrong, there will be flashbacks if they are
needed, but I prefer not to do them if I can help it. But for the start of this
story, I’ll have to write about Kushina Uzumaki, as I’ll be make a few changes
that’ll alter the rest of the story.
 
One last thing before I start the story, what are your thoughts about Naruto
being old in this story? Been talking to a few people on Discord, and they
aren’t too thrilled by the idea, but at the same time it would allow me to
explain about Naruto failing three times. But I’ll allow you lot the final say,
as I want to keep my readers happy, but I would like ideas to explain why
Naruto failed three times and I want good ideas for this though. I’m trying to
fell in the plot holes about Naruto’s childhood, and him failing his exams
three times. The plot holes that I’m trying to deal with, will be in the last
chapter about Kushina Uzumaki.
 
                                   Prologue.
 
                (Kushina_Uzumaki_and_Minato_Namikaze_-_Part_1,)
 
21st_of_January_1887_-_Land_of_Fire,_Konohagakure,_The_Academy:
 
“Alright now students,” said the Sensei to his eleven year old students, “we
have a new transfer student joining our Academy today.” The new student was a
round face young girl, which, with her red hair naturally framing both sides of
her face, giving her the resemblance to that of a tomato. Which she was often
got tease about. She was wearing a sleeveless kimono-style blouse that was
yellow in colour and held closed with a green obi over a short-sleeved mesh
shirt with a pair of dark blue shorts and brown shinobi sandals. Seeing how shy
the girl was at the moment, the Sensei encouraged her by saying, “Come on dear,
introduce yourself, don’t be shy.”
 
“I’m Kushina Uzumaki, ya know.” Kushina said fastly, as she covered her mouth
once she did so, going red faced as she said ya know.
 
And not for the first time in her life, most of the kids begun to tease her
about her looks and her hair. Whilst embarrassed about it, she wasn’t too
bothered about it.
 
“Come on everyone, settle down.” the Sensei told them, and as he did, the young
Kushina called out, trying to shut them up, “I’m, I’m going to be the first
female Hokage of Hidden Leaf Village.” This got the stunned look on the student
faces.
 
She knew it was a bit immature by saying this, but she was young and too
ignorant about it all, and she wanted them to stop teasing her about her looks.
She had come to Konohagakure, or as it was also known as the Hidden Leaf
Village recently, as her own land, the Land of Whirlpools, was at war. She came
from Uzushiogakure or it was otherwise known as The Hidden Eddy Village, and it
was well known for a few reasons. The first was the people's notoriously long
lives, where their village gained the epithet “The Village of Longevity.” The
other reason was for them being renowned for their Sealing Techniques. In fact
it was because of their Sealing Techniques, that the country was at war, as
they won’t willing to give their secrets away. As they feared they would be
used against them, or used in wars, which was the case now.
 
She was sent to the Hidden Leaf Village, as her father, Kazuo Uzumaki, once
lived here, and thought it was the best place for her. You wouldn’t know it by
looking at him, but he was in fact sixty but looks like he was in his early
thirties. The reason was because he was from Uzushiogakure, and the reason of
their long lives, it is because they age slower when they turn twenty-five. He
once came to this village when he was a child, to become a ninja, as they
didn’t have a Hidden Village to become one back at Land of Whirlpools. He was
the reason why they have one, seeing he create a small Hidden Village so they
could train their own.
 
Now the stun silence ended, when a blonde haired boy stood up and said, “Me
too. I want to become a great Hokage, one that the whole village would
respect.” Kushina give the boy a dark look, unhappy about her taking her
moment, he was wearing a simple white suit of clothing with green trimmings and
a hood. Her first impression of the boy was that he wasn't manly or dependable,
and so didn’t have what it took to become a Hokage.
 
“Ok now, Kushina please take a seat at the back of the classroom and we’ll
start the class.” the Sensei told the young girl, and once Kushina was seated,
he went on to say, “Now class, seeing that Kushina is new here, let me do some
catch up so she knows where we at and allow her ask any questions she might
have.”
 
And so with that, the Sensei begun to tell Kushina what they had done so far in
that year, and answered any questions that she might have had.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
22nd_of_August_-_Land_of_Fire_-_Konohagakure,_Watanabe_Household:
 
By the end of the first day though, when the Sensei was gone, a few of the boys
started to pick on her and begun calling Kushina Tomato and stumped on her
dreams. For a few weeks, she grudgingly allowed this, until it got too much for
her, and she beat the living day lights out of them. And from that day, anyone
who bullied her and called her Tomato, she beat them up.
 
Before long, she gained a new nickname, instead of Tomato, it became Red Hot
Habanero. She had to admit, she hoped that the boy the blonde hair, who she
found out his name was Minato Namikaze and who she fancied, would stick up for
her, show her he indeed had it to become a Hokage, but he didn’t. And this
pissed her off even more, and those who made her angry got the brunt for it
all. And so over time, she kept on fighting and the rapertion of Red Hot
Habanero grew as she won each battle. Most of the fights were those trying to
prove they were stronger than an outsider and a girl, or those who want to pay
her back for hurting someone they cared about.
 
It was quite lonely for Kushina, as she was the only one from her clan, that
came to this Hidden Village, and as people keep on calling her, she was an
Outsider. And with how people were treating her, she felt like one too. It
didn’t help that a few times, she saw Minato just standing there doing nothing
but watching. Which just upset more. She hated her life at the Hidden Village,
she had no one to go to, and people were picking on her because of her red
hair, which she hated, and because she was an outsider.
 
But then a few months of being in the Hidden Leaf Village, she learnt why she
was the only one sent there. It was because that even for a member of the
Uzumaki Clan, her Chakra was stronger than the others. It had the special
effect that it could hold the Tail Beasts, which is why she was here at the
Hidden Leaf Village, to become the next Jinchūriki for the Nine-Tailed Beast,
Kurama. As the last Jinchūriki, Mito Uzumaki, was dying and needed to transfer
the Beast into a new Jinchūriki.
 
When Kushina first learnt of this, she was terrified by the idea, as she
already was disliked by the Village and feared what would happen if they found
out about her being the Jinchūriki. But she was was comforted by Mito, a short
while before the transfer of Kurama, where Mito talked and reinsured her, and
advised the young girl that love was the only way to tame the Nine-Tails and
overcome its hate.
 
No matter how much she hated it, but after talking to Mito, Kushina agree with
the current and become the next Jinchūriki for the Nine-Tailed Beast. Lucky,
the procedure was done in secret, so that no one in the village knew about it.
And she kept on with her life as if nothing had happened.
 
And which leads us to the current time, Kushina had became a Genin a week ago,
and was taking some time off before her new training started. She had just came
home to where she lived over the last few months, a family by the name of
Watanabe.
 
“I’m home,” Kushina called out, but no one answered, so she looked around the
house, “is anyone home?”
 
“Where is everyone?” Kushina asked herself, as she looked in the dining room,
but finding no one there. But as she was about to leave, she saw some figures
within the shadows that jumped out at her. Here she begun to run, and cried
out, “Please, someone help me!”
 
But there was no one there, and so as she screamed, she was tied up and taken
out of the house. As she was being lead out of the Village, through the
backroads not to be seen, she found out her captures were from Kumogakure.
Kumogakure, or as it was otherwise known by, the Hidden Cloud Village, was the
Hidden Village for the Land of Lightning. It would seem that they had found out
that she was the new Jinchūriki for the Nine-Tailed Beast. And they came to
kidnap her, so they could test her to find out more about her special chakra,
so that they could learn how to gain control of the Nine-Tails and harness it’s
power for military purposes.
 
The reason for this, was that years ago, Kumo experienced the Kyuubi’s great
power before long ago, when two of  Kumo’s ninjas by the names of Kinkaku and
Ginkaku were swallowed by the Kyuubi alive. It was said that Kinkaku and
Ginkaku were trapped in the beast’s stomach for and they were forced to eat the
beast’s flesh from its stomach to survive. They didn’t know it, but the
consequences of doing so was that by consuming Kyuubi’s meat, they would change
too.
 
After two weeks inside the tailed beast's stomach, eating the beast, they were
eventually able to force the Nine-Tails to regurgitate them. And upon their
escape, they both came out looking like miniature versions of the beast, due to
having acquired a portion of the fox's chakra. Seeing that they had became a
Psuedo-Jinchuriki, the leaders of the Hidden Cloud Village, wanted to try and
repeat this procedure. But to repeat this though they needed the Nine-Tailed
Beast, as they suspected that it was its powers that give them Kinkaku and
Ginkaku their power.  Which is why they tried to kidnap Kushina.
 
She knew that she had to do something in order to leave a trail behind, whilst
she was being lead away from the village. The only idea she could come up with
was pulling a few strands of her long red hair, and drop them onto the ground
in the hopes someone would find them. She did this carefully, so that the enemy
didn’t notice though. But the problem was that she was an outside, new to the
village, and apart for a few people, no one knew that she was a Jinchūriki. She
didn’t hold out much hope that anyone would come to rescue her.
 
Before long though, they were walking through the wood and was coming to the
bounders of the Hidden Village, and she feared what would happen seeing that
her fears were confirmed that no one was coming to rescue her and so she was
done for. But little did she knew though, was that there was someone coming to
her rescue. And she was forced to take the lead, she didn’t notice that someone
took out the agents from the Hidden Cloud Village.
 
It was only when she heard a young say, “Are you alright?” as she looked up to
see who it was, the moonlight raised to show it was none other than Minato
Namikaze, who smiled as he went on to say, “I came rescue you.”
 
Kushina couldn’t help but smile at seeing the young boy, as she collapses to
the ground. Where Minato raced over to her and caught her, and as he did, he
smiled and said softly as he picked her her into his arms, “Everything’s gonna
to be fine Kushina.”
 
“Hey wait, what are you doing?” Kushina asked in shock, before he jumped into
the trees.
 
As Minato was using his Chakra to fly in the air, Kushina noticed her red hair
that she left to be found, and she begun to say, “Hey, that’s my…”
 
“Your hair is so beautiful,” Minato told her, “so I noticed straight away.”
 
Kushina huffed at this, “So tell me, if that’s the case, why are you always
ignoring me?”
 
“Because I know that you can take care of yourself,” Minato told her, shocking
her, “and I know that you’re strong, both in body and in spirit.” And as he
landed on a tree, he went on to say, “But this is different, this time this is
a fight between villages. So this is different to all of your other battles, so
I came to help.”
 
“Baka,” Kushina said as she hit him against his chest, “that makes no bloody
sense. But still, why help now?”
 
“Simple,” Minato said as he looked down at her, “because I don’t want to lose
you.”
 
“But I am an outsider though.” Kushina told him with a blank look.
 
“But that’s the thing, you’re not an outsider,” Minato informed her, “you live
in the Hidden Leaf Village, and that means that no matter where you come from,
you’re one of us now.”
 
Kushina couldn’t believe it, she couldn’t help but to blush at this a bit. In
that one moment, her views for Minato changed, he became a great ninja in her
eyes. And she realized that just maybe, he could help her make all of her
dreams come true. In a way, in that moment, he changed the way she was. Now the
red hair that she used to hate, and that give her so much trouble, had now
given something she always wanted: Love.
 
Her hair had become the red thread of fate. And since then she begun to love
her hair, and most of all, she fell in love with Minato. And in that moment,
life as she knew it changed.
 
                               To_be_Continued!
 
Author’s_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Now before I go any further, there’s
something I want to ask, as you know this is going to be a harem story. So I
want to ask if there’s any girls or women you would like me to add please let
me know. But if there’s any that were killed in the show, and their deaths was
the key plot to the reason for something that happens because of their death, I
want ideas how to work around it.
 
Like the death of Rin Nohara, her death is the key to make Obito and Kakashi
the people they were in the show. I would like her in Naruto’s Harem, as I
thought she was cute and so would be sexy as an adult, but I don’t know how to
change it so that she could stay alive, but have Obito become the way he is. So
if there’s female characters like this you want in the harem, but they are
dead, I would like ideas on how to work around it so that person is alive but
keep the outcome of their death the same. Like Rin staying alive, but keep
Obito becoming Tobi and the leader of Akatsuki.
 
Now that is out of the way, I would like to thank you for reading my new story
and I hope you enjoyed the first part of this story. I know the main story is
short, but this is the prologue for this story, so it will be short. And it
should get longer as I go along.
 
I would also like to thank ChaosSonic1 for finally getting me to watch Naruto.
As without him, I might not even thought about writing this story. Now the
reason I started the end notes by asking who you wanted in the harem, is
because I know that many of you might skip the notes. But I really wanted your
help with this, as there might be women you want in the harem, but they are
dead and their deaths were the key factors to what happens in the anime/manga.
And if you want them in the story, I need ideas as to how to work around their
deaths, but keep the outcome of their deaths.
 
Now I wasn’t planning to post this story until I had a few chapters done, like
another new story I’m working on. But the problem is I need help, not only with
the girls you might want to see in the harem, but also ideas. For the first few
chapters, I’m writing about Kushina and Minato, and so I’m after fanfiction,
episodes from the anime and chapters from manga, that would explain their past
from when Kushina entered the Hidden Leaf Village to Kushina and Minato deaths.
I’m also looking for fanfiction, episodes from the anime and chapters from
manga, that would explains Naruto’s childhood. I even would like online novels
about Naruto, ones I can read for free.
 
Now before any of you complain about me doing so much back story as most of you
might know it, and not getting to the main story, there’s two reasons for me to
do this. First there could be like me until recently, that knows nothing about
the story and so some of my reader mightnot know about it, so I want to explain
it to them. The other is that until Naruto failing his third time at the Leaf
Village Academy, I’m planning to make a few changes to the story and so want to
show them.
 
I know some of you say I can do flashbacks, but from my own experience, I don’t
get good feedback when I do them. So unless I have to, like explaining one of
the other characters past and not Naruto’s, I try and write out what happens to
the main character and only do flashbacks only whenI have to. Any other time I
write someone else’s past, is when it connects to Naruto somehow.
 
One last thing, seeing that Naruto was the one that created the Sexy Jutsu, I
would like other Jutsus and Techniques that Naruto could create based on sex.
Those to win over women, and make them only think of him, got one idea reading
a porn comic, but I would like others. So I hope that you can help me with
coming up with other Jutsus and Techniques that Naruto could use against women,
either to make them happy or get them on his side, or have better sex.
 
Once again, I would like to thank you for reading my new story, and I hope that
you enjoyed the story. If you did, I would like to ask that you spend a few
minutes and leave a feedback to your thoughts to the story, and apart for what
I have asked for, any ideas you would like to see to happen. So you know, I’ll
not too happy with the title myself, but I couldn’t think of anything better.
So if you can come up with a better title, please let me know.
***** Chapter 1: Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze - Part 2 *****
Author’s_Note: Before we start the next chapter, I would like to thank you all
for reading the last chapter. In the first twenty-four hours, I got fifteen
reviews, eighty-three favourites and one hundred and five followers. I hope to
keep this up, and I hope you’ll help me. I’ll try and make this a good story.
But be warned though, this story is not for kids, as there WILL be dark adult
themes if you don’t like that, please stop reading now. So don’t say I didn’t
warn you.
 
Now one last thing: this chapter is based on my own ideas, and using what I can
on the wiki to fill in the blank spots. I don’t know how it’ll go, but I hope
you like it.  Be warned though, if something doesn’t add up in this chapter,
please don’t blame me, but the wiki that I got this info. I’m trying to clean
up the information I found there, like Rin Nohara, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi
Hatake being the same age when passing the Chūnin Exams, and yet Kakashi passed
his Chūnin Exams when he was about six. So in this chapter, he’ll be younger
than Rin and Obito.
 
Now people suggested that Yugito and Fu should be in Naruto’s harem, but their
deaths are important to the plot. As the Akatsuki took their beasts from and in
doing so, the hosts of the tailed beasts are killed. So I don’t think there is
a way to keep them alive, and keep to the plot. And the ways I could bring them
back, I need to figure out a way to find their bodies. But if you can come up
with a way, please let me know. Although I might mess around with the plot,
seeing that Naruto is going to be the Overlord and that, so we'll see what
happens.
 
So you know I’m thinking about using the idea from Starting Over By Sessyruby,
things, and not seating about and listening to people, going on and on about
things. And reading would be out too, as unless they find it interesting, they
wouldn't be bothered with the book. Not only that, but he would also finding
listening for a long time boring, so finding this out, it explains a few things
in the manga and show.
 
One last thing, I've read a few stories where Naruto and his mother were
distant relatives of the Senju Clan, and were some kind of royalty. So I was
wondering if it was true, or it is fandom writing idea. Would like your
thoughts about it, and what ideas you might want to see coming from it.
 
There’s more info I want your thoughts on at the end of the chapter, so please
read the end notes too. So you know, until I get things dealt with in the next
few chapters, I believe there’ll be a lot of things that I’ll want your
thoughts on. So please read on my notes when I do them please.

                (Kushina_Uzumaki_and_Minato_Namikaze_-_Part_2.)
 
21st_of_September_1896_-_Land_of_Fire,_Konohagakure,_The_Academy:
 
Twenty year old Minato Namikaze found himself in the Academy, heading towards
the Hokage's office, as the third Hokage wanted a word about something. As he
went, Minato thought about the last few years and about his wife Kushina; it
had been a year since they’d gotten married. But it wasn’t all smooth sealing,
as a few years after Kushina moved into Konohagakure or otherwise known as the
Hidden Leaf Village, her own Hidden Village within the Land of Whirlpools, was
destroyed. They were destroyed by some of the world's nations who banded
together to do so, as they believed the village and the small island was too
powerful to be allowed to continue. So not only was the Village was destroyed,
but also the island itself was too. There wasn’t many from there that were able
to survive, and those who did were now scattered across the globe to seek
refuge, mainly around the shinobi countries.
 
Kushina was very upset when she’d gotten the news, as most of her family was
killed; only her father, Kazuo Uzumaki, had survived. Of course, such a thing
was not all that surprising; Kazuo was a Seal Master, after all, even creating
his own never-before-seen seals. Those that did see them, of course, rarely
lived to tell about it.
 
Kushina’s father came off as a kind hearted person, who loved his family
dearly, and liked nothing more to be with them whenever he could. However,
while he appeared to be a gentle soul, if you saw the fire behind the old man's
eyes, they would tell you a different story. Kazou Uzumaki was a born and bred
warrior, tested time and time again in wars and battles. Unfortunately, those
who used to know him was died during the destruction of the Uzumaki Clan and
their homeland. It was well known that he would deliver hell to those he
believed deserved it. If you ever pissed him off, or hurt his family, than you
would be dealing with a powerhouse hell bent on killing you. And may Kami have
mercy on your soul, as he would not, he would go after anyone and everyone who
would hide the person who hurt his family.
 
But after the destruction the Land of Whirlpools, he had changed. Something
broke within him, as other than Kushina, his wife and other children were all
killed - not only that but most of the people from his homeland were killed as
well.
 
He knew that with so many nations behind the attack on his homeland and
villages, there wasn’t much he could do about it. He knew that Land of Earth,
Land of Lightning, Land of Water and a few of the smaller nations were behind
the attack on the Land of Whirlpools. But no matter how much as he would like
to pay them back, he knew that he could not, as he could be killed before he
could get far. He couldn’t easily ask for help of his people, seeing that
almost all the people the Uzumaki Clan were spread across the world, looking
for somewhere to live now.
 
There was one thing that Kazuo told Minato he would do before he died, and that
was to find whoever in Konohagakure had betrayed him and killed them. As the
Leaf were the only ones who’d known most of the defences in Uzu no Kuni, seeing
that they were their only allies at the time. And seeing how easy the nations
got through their defences so easy, someone must of told them. So he would find
them and kill them slowly and painfully for this.
 
Minato didn’t want to believe this, but it was only option that he could see
that made sense. The official story was that the nations outnumbered the people
of Uzushiogakure and that was why they had been defeated so easy. But Minato
knew the truth; the Uzumaki Clan were infamous for their number of Seal
Masters, and so they had one of the great defences in the world, so it wouldn’t
be as easy as everyone was making it out to be to wipe the Land of Whirlpools
out. But at the same time, he didn’t want to believe that his own village had
anything to do with the destruction the Land of Whirlpools.
 
Whatever the case was, Minato tried to help Kushina through the pain. It was
hard at times, as she would wake up in nightmare of her family being killed
over and over again. He feared that the Nine-Tails sealed within her would
escape during these times, but Kushina had reassured him, telling him that it
was her love for him that kept the beast at bay.
 
Now, during these last few years, Minato had gone on many missions, and became
a Jounin. One of them was an S-Class task where he’d been helping to defend a
village that was being attacked by the Sanbi. During the fight, before they’d
managed to push the beast back, he’d observed the mighty attack known as the
Tailed Beast Ball. Upon seeing this, Minato had been visited by the urge to
recreate the blast himself. And so, after three years of hard work, he had
created the Rasengan. However, the spiralling orb, while strong in its own
right, was only one part of his idea. The second was to combine the Rasengan
with elemental transformation, although sadly he’d had no luck with that. At
the very least, however, he was able to teach it to his sensei, Jiraiya,
although that took a while.
 
Minato had travelled around the borders of the Land of Fire, as there were
many, various skirmishes with smaller nations. It would seem that there was a
decline in national power among the Five Great Shinobi Nations, which was
slowly crumbling. There were many who believed that it was only matter of time
before war broke out.
 
Minato suspected that this was the reason why the Hokage wanted to see him, as
there was some new development to the fights. Now as he was walking down the
corridor, he walked past a kid no older than five or six walking past him. The
kid had spiky silver hair, which oriented to his left-side, dark grey eyes, he
looked relaxed, but had a heavy-lidded expression his. He was wearing dark blue
pants, a long-sleeve shirt, and he was also wearing a pair of fingerless
gloves, which had metal plates on the backhands of them. He was also wearing a
dark blue mask, which was covering the lower half of his face.
 
Minato had to wonder who the kid was, and why he was in this corridor, seeing
that only office on this floor was the Hokage. Why would a kid so young would
need to see the Hokage for? As he got to the door, he knocked and entered as he
said as he knelt on his knees, “Excuse me, Hokage-sama, you wanted to see me.”
 
“Yes, Minato, I do,” Hiruzen Sarutobi informed the man. Hiruzen was a tan-
skinned man, with dark brown, spiky hair and a small goatee. He was wearing a
white haori, which had the words Third Hokage written on the back. Underneath
it, he was wearing a red, full-length kimono that is tied using a white sash.
“I would like to ask you for a favour. As you might have heard on your way back
here, there has been some delays in picking the Genin teams.”
 
“I admit, I have heard about that,” Minato acknowledged, “and I was wondering
what was going on.”
 
“The truth is that I was waiting for you to return from your latest mission.”
the Hokage admitted, “You see there’s a student, Kakashi Hatake, whilst no one
could deny that he is an extremely talented shinobi. He however is too much
fussy about sticking to the rules, and clashes with his superiors and other
students. And whilst he might excel in techniques, but as a person, he has much
to learn. You see, as you might have heard, his father broke the rules, to
protect his comrades rather than complete the assignment, but then took his own
life.”
 
“I heard about that,” Minato told the Hokage, “but if what I heard is right, he
was somewhat pushed into it, with people blaming him for what he did, even his
own teammates blamed him. As his action of saving his team meant his mission
was a failure, and we lost some land or something.”
 
“I heard such rumours about people pushing him to his death,” admitted the
Third Hokage with a sad sigh, “but there is nothing I can do about it. Either
way, with the death of his father, it cast a long shadow of young Kakashi and I
fear what his future might hard for him.”
 
“So you want me to supervise over him?” asked Minato.
 
“That I do,” the Hokage told him, “I want you to make him realize that
teammates are important and that sometimes breaking the rules are more
important than friends.”
 
“I’ll try Third Hokage, but why me?” asked Minato.
 
“Out of all the Jounin here, I believe you are the only one who can break
through to him how friends are important.” the Third Hokage told the Jounin.
 
“When do I meet them?” asked Minato.
 
“Tomorrow,” Sarutobi informed Minato, “we’ll be informing the class about the
groups tomorrow. So you have until then to come up with a test to test if they
are ready or not.”
 
“I understand Third Hokage.” Minato bowed his head, before bidding his goodbye
to him and got up to leave.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
An_hour_later,_Land_of_Fire,_Konohagakure,_Namikaze_Residence:
 
When Minato returned home to inform his wife of a year, he saw she was with his
father-in-law, Kazuo. Whilst his father-in-law looked like he was in his
thirties, Kazuo had in fact been in his sixties, he was five foot six, had long
white hair, moustache, and a squared-off goatee. He would be often being since
wearing armour that reminiscent of the period dress. Under this, he wore a
long-sleeved, black outfit, the shoulders of which bore the crest of
Uzushiogakure, which was incorporated into uniform of the Konoha shinobi,
thanks to them being allies. On his back, looked what appears to be the curved
handles of two swords, were shown to be bandaged up. He also wore a forehead
protector with his former village's symbol etched into it.
 
Kazuo was holding his nine month year old daughter, Naruko, who already had a
full set of blonde hair. Minato could only smile when he saw her, she was his
everything, and would admit that like all father's, she had him around her
little finger. He would do anything take his little girl happy. But he would
kill any boy who dare come near his little girl, or try and date her before she
was twenty's even then it would depend on who the boy was and how he treated
her.
 
Now when Kushina saw her husband, she asked, “Welcome back dear, what did the
Hokage wanted from you?”
 
“He wanted me to become a Genin Instructor.” Minato informed his wife.
 
“Congratulations dear.” Kushina congratulated her husband, but when she saw his
face, she asked, “What’s wrong dear? I thought this is something you wanted.”
 
“Oh it is, trust me it is,” Minato acknowledged with a sigh, “but I'm only
becoming Genin Instructor because the Third Hokage wants me to keep in check a
child prodigy, by the name of Kakashi Hatake.”
 
“Hmm Hatake,” Kazuo hummed thoughtfully, as he tried to remember where he heard
the name before, “wasn't there a man by the name Sakumo Hatake, who killed
himself?”
 
“Yes and Kakashi is his son.” Minato told his father-in-law.
 
“Hmm, from what I learnt, he killed himself, or pushed into it because of a
failed mission.” the white haired man told him and his daughter, “From my
findings, the mission was to eliminate some important target, who the council
feared was a threat to the Land of Fire. But the was the target was better
protected than they were expecting, and so two of Sakumo’s teammates were
severely injured, that without proper care, they would be dead. Whilst it is
important for a shinobi to try and finish the mission, even if it means your
own death, it is also important to know when to know when to give up to. Which
Sakumo did, as he knew that there was a zero chance of the mission succeeding.
So because of this, to the risk of his own life, pulled his team from the field
and back to the Village where they could be healed fully.”
 
Minato was a bit shocked about how much his father-in-law knew, as he didn't
know what Sakumo’s mission was. But then again he shouldn't be, as Kazuo used
to be a Hokage himself and you didn't become one playing nice. Then he heard
his wife asked, “So what happened to him, and why did he kill himself when he
had a son to look after.”
 
“His damn teammates and this damn Village, that's what happened to him.” the
form Hokage spat, whilst Minato normally would try and defend Konohaakure, he
couldn't this time. As he didn't agree with how they treated Sakumo for doing
the right thing. “Don’t get me wrong, they weren't the only ones, as he got
blamed for the failure of the mission by many in the Land of Fire too, as the
target retaliated and killed many people. But he got the worse of it from his
own villagers and teammates, they seem to forget that at times when you have
zero chance of the mission of succeeding, it was better to fall back and try
again another time.”
 
“And that's why the Third Hokage wants me to teach Sakumo's son,” explained
Minato, “as Kakashi is so stuck in following the rules and not making the same
mistakes as his father, the Third Hokage fears the boy will forget that
teammates are important and that sometimes breaking the rules are more
important than friends.”
 
“I wish you luck as you'll need it.” Kazuo told his son-in-law skeptically.
 
“Father.” Kushina belittled her father. She knew that he blamed the Leaf
Village for the destination of the Land of Whirlpools and their Hidden Village,
and with good reason too, but she knew this was one of the few safe places they
can live at. She and her father often argue about this, but seeing that she was
happy here with her husband and daughter, her father backs down after a good
rant about the village. But if she ever find out who betrayed her homeland and
her Clan, she'll show them to fear the Red Hot Habanero. When her hair began to
move, resembling the Kyuubi's tails.
 
“I know, I know, play nice with the backstabbing villagers.” Kazuo reminded
himself what his daughter keeps telling him, but he would never forgive them
for their part of his homeland being destroyed. Should he ever find out who
helped to destroy the people of Uzushiogakure, they'll be begging for death by
the time he was finished with them.
 
“So when are you going to meet your new team?” ask Kushina.
 
“Tomorrow,” Minato informed his wife, “I'm meant to test them to see if they
are ready to become Genin or have to return to the Academy and wait another
year before trying again.”
 
“So how are you going to test?” asked Kushina.
 
“Well seeing that Kakashi has problems with teamwork, I'm going to test them on
that.” Minato explained to his wife, and with that he explained his plan to
Kushina and Kazuo. After an hour, the three went on with their day, or in
Minato’s case, he was getting ready for the next day where he would meet his
new students.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
22nd_of_September_1896_-_Land_of_Fire,_Konohagakure,_Training_Ground_Three:
 
It was afternoon of the next day, and Minato was waiting for the three students
to arrive. As he waited, he thought back to what he had learnt about the three.
The first was of course Kakashi Hatake, it was the one that he saw the day
before, he was a child prodigy, he was only six years old and he had already
finished the Academy, six years sooner than normal. Kakashi was very
independent and self-confident, from his records, appeared to be arrogant and
condescending of others. Despite this though, Kakashi was very perceptive and
intuitive, quickly realising the situation for what it was and could make plans
up to deal with the situation. But after his father's death though, Kakashi
became more stern, aloof and cold toward others, following all the rules to the
letter, chastising any who disobeyed them and willing to abandon his comrades
to finish mock missions.
 
Next was Rin Nohara, she was nine years old and was another student who
finished the Academy early. Now from here records, the young girl was of
average height, with long brown hair, that came to her shoulder, that framed
her face, and brown eyes. She also had a rectangular purple marking on either
sides of her cheeks. Her records also stated that as an Academy student, she
wore a simple outfit consisting of a light-coloured blouse with a bow tied in
the middle and a simple, sleeveless haori.
 
The records went on to say that Rin was a sweet and friendly girl who cared
deeply for her comrades as well as her village. Rin was an intellectual
individual, witnessed by her ability to be able to learn as well as use high-
level medical ninjutsu at such a young age. This impressed Minato, as there
won't many who wanted to learn medical ninjutsu now days, so she would be a
great asset should she make it as a Genin today.
 
It was also stated that Rin was a devoted person to her friends, so much that
she wouldn't abandon them, some of her teachers stated that she might even put
her own life great peril if her friends were in danger. She also had a very
strong will, as during her last year at the Academy, she was put through some
the harshest of Genjutsu that was allowed, but she wouldn’t break.
 
Now the last member of his new team, Obito Uchiha, from his records, he was of
an average height, with black eyes and short, spiky black hair. It was noted
that he normally wore a long sleeved blue uniform and a blue jacket with an
orange collar and trimmings. The jacket was fastened to the rest of the outfit
by two buttons on the collar and had the Uchiha clan crest at the back. He also
wore a white belt, shinobi sandals, and a pair of goggles with orange lenses
connected to ear protectors.
 
Also from his notes, Obito lives with his Grandmother, since his parents were
killed during a mission. So seeing that having no parents, people in
Konohagakure seem to look down on you, even among his own Clan, seeing that
they were low in power. Obito's childhood was marked by dreams of being
acknowledged. This motivated him to become a ninja so that he could, in turn,
become Hokage and have the entire village, and more importantly his Clan, to
finally recognise him.
 
His notes also informed Minato that Obito was the bottom of his class, and was
often late to his lessons. The only reason that the boy was able to pass the
Academy this year, was because of his best friend, Rin Nohara, who helped him
pass the exams. Without her he would still be at the Academy.
 
Now as he was reading the notes about the people he was about to test
 
Kakashi Hatake and Rin Nohara appeared on the Training Ground. Upon their
arrival, he asked, “Where is Obito Uchiha?”
 
“He is running a bit late sensei.” Rin informed her new sensei, where Kakashi
huffed at this, who was annoyed by the other boy’s behaviour.
 
Minato sighed at this, and so he said, “If he isn't here within the next hour,
you'll be fail today's test and will be sent back to the Academy. Where you'll
have to try and become a Genin next year.”
 
“What?” Rin asked in shock, “But I thought we were Genin already.”
 
“No, passing the Academy is the first step of becoming one,” Minato informed
the two of them, “the final step is passing my test. My test today is if you're
ready or not, and by the looks of things it doesn't seem so.” the two ninjas
looked at each other, and were cussing Obito for his lateness. “Now whilst we
wait for our lost ninja, let's introduce each other. I’ll start off, I'm Minato
Namikaze, and I'll be your sensei until you become Chuunin. Now I like things
in a straight and organized fashion and done as quickly as humanly possible.
And whilst you're under my care, it'll not be often that your training will be
fun, but it'll hone all your skills. I Promise you that."
 
"Finally, someone who just likes to get things done" Kakashi said and
approached his new sensei fully now trusting him.
 
“Oh don't get me wrong, there'll be some fun, as they say, all work and no play
makes Jack a dull boy.” Minato informed the boy, “We’ll be having team building
training, some of it we'll be fun, other times it won't. Anyway, I love my wife
Kushina and my daughter Naruko. My dreams are to keep my family safe and one
day become the Hokage. Now you Kakashi.”
 
"My name is Kakashi Hatake.” Kakashi introduced himself, “There’s not much to
say about myself really. I prefer to stay to myself so others to drag me down.
I also like to keep to the rules and routine, I don't like wasting my time. So
Uchiha running late bothers me. I have no real dreams,”
 
Looking at Rin, Minato said, “Now you Rin…”
 
“My name is Rin Nohara.” Rin introduced herself, “Like Kakashi, there’s not
much to say about myself, but I like to spend time with my friends. I
specialize in medical training, and I dream of becoming the best medical ninja
out there. I dislike getting dirty.”
 
“Hmm, that’s good, now all we have to do is wait for your follow teammate and
then we can begin.” Kakashi informed them both. It was at that moment that
Obito came running into the training ground.
 
“You’re late Obito.” Kakashi scolded the black haired by.
                                                             
“So you finally got here,” Minato told the boy, “you must be Obito.”
 
“We’ve been waiting for you.” Rin told her friend.
 
“I’ve made it.” Obito said as he caught his breath.
 
“Yeah but you were late.” Kakashi told the boy.
 
“We have done our self introduces,” Minato informed Obito, “all that’s left is
yours.”
 
“Well I’m Obito Uchiha,” Obito introduced himself, still out of breath, “and
I’m going to become Hokage one day. I’m going to get my trademark goggles and
Sharingan, carved into my stone face for all to see.  So that I can glare down
over the neighbouring lands! I'll scare the hell out of them with my Sharingan
stare, and no one will dare attack our village.”
 
“Put in that request once you become Hokage, and activate your Sharingan.”
Kakashi informed his new teammate, “And besides, they can’t carve your
Sharingan whilst you’re wearing your goggles.”
 
“So they can carve them on top of my goggles.” Obito came back with that
comment.
 
“But then it would look like your eyeballs are popping out.” Rin pointed out to
her friend with a giggle.
 
Obito huffed at this, as he finished off, “I love playing games and I got some
good skills. Not many people think I can do much but I do try my best and hate
to be put down.”
 
“Anyway, I'm glad that someone on my team shares my dream of becoming Hokage.”
acknowledged Minato. “Now I'm Minato, and from today I'll be your superior”
 
“Alright you three, let's have our first practice together.” Minato informed
his new team,
 
“Yes sensei!” the three of them cried out together.
 
“No in this training session, I want to see how good your teamwork is.” Minato
informed them.
 
“Teamwork?” Rin asked in confusion.
 
But Minato didn’t seem to hear her, as he went on to say, “Now all you have to
do is to take these two bells away from me, and the practice will be over.
Simple right?”
 
“Two bells mean…” Kakashi thought out loud as he realized what was happening,
as Obito looked confused.
 
“Exactly.” Minato confirmed Kakashi’s thoughts.
 
“Huh? What does it mean?” asked Obito, not getting it whilst Rin did.
 
“One of us will be dropped from the team.” Kakashi informed Obito, as he
couldn’t understand how the other boy couldn’t understand what was going on.
 
“What!?” shouted Obito in shock.
 
“Good observation.” Minato commented, “Okay, now let’s start.”
 
And so the three of them tried to get the bells, it took a few hours, to do so,
but they finally got them. During this time, Kakashi realized that Minato
changed how he act towards each of them, based on how skilled they were.
Realizing this, whilst he worked as a team, Kakashi used his teammates to get
the bells. He didn’t know if his sensei knew this or not, but at the end of it
all to their surprise, they all passed. It would seem that this was all a test
to see if they were worthy of becoming Genin. It would seem that when they past
the final exams at the Academy, they didn’t become Genin like they thought, but
this was the final test to see if they come one. If they failed to work as a
team, they would ALL be sent back to the Academy.
 
After the bell test, Minato punished Obito for being late. But not only Obito,
but also the rest of them too, which they thought was unfair. But Minato
explained that he wanted to show Obito that every action has consequences, not
only to himself but to those around him. So Minato informed them that depending
on their actions, not only would they be punished, but the rest of the team
would be too. This was so that they would think about their actions, and the
consequences of them.
 
                               To_be_Continued!
 
Author’s_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends the next chapter of my new
Naruto story, I thank you for reading the story, and I hope that you enjoyed
it. I’m still amazed that it went so well, it blew me away how many people
faved and followed this story in the first twenty-four hours of it being out.
So thank you, and I hope I keep getting the same attention for the rest of the
chapters
 
So you know, when I posted this story, I got thirty-one reviews, one hundred
and sixty-one favs and one hundred and ninety-four follows. I also got five
C2s. Now I would like your help to get more with more with this chapter…
 
A question for you all, been looking at a thread, about if Kakashi was a good
teacher or not. And many say that Kakashi done a lot for Team Seven, and
treated each best as he could. But tell me, other than tree walking and some so
called teamwork, which I didn't see myself, what did he do for Naruto and
Sakura? He spent most of his time worrying about Sasuke and training him.
 
Seeing that I want to explain what happens before the Fox attacks, the Leaf
Village, I’m still looking for ideas as to what happens next. So if you got
fics and episode I could have a look at, please let me know, as I really want
my readers who knows nothing about Naruto, understand what is going on. Not
only that, but I would like to know myself, so I know what to change too.
 
Now since the last chapter, give me a video to watch might have fucked up my
plan to make Naruto a few years older. The video I was given was when the Nine-
Tailed Beast attacked Leaf Village, and shows Sasuke as a baby as his brother
takes him to a shelter to protect his baby brother.
 
So would it make any difference to the main plot, if Sasuke was born about two
to three years after the attack? ChaosSonic1 said that with Sasuke being a baby
at the time of the attack, then Sasuke would not be alive during the Uchiha
massacre, which would give Naruto a rival for supremacy in this fic and also
increasing his strive to be better than Sasuke.
 
I don’t understand it myself to be honest, I have learning problems, and
understanding this is a bit hard for me. To me, Sasuke would be five and Naruto
would be eight years old for when the massacre, so Sasuke would still wants to
get strong and be better than Naruto, as until he gets his training, he would
have problems with his Chakra and still be a fool who don’t take his lessons
seriously. So he would see Sasuke as a rival. I could be wrong, but hey,
wouldn’t be the first time.
 
But he and others on the discord did give me a option as to why Naruto failed
three times, although I don’t like it too much: One of the reasons I was given
by those I talk to on discord is this: all students are only allowed to take
the exams three time, the third failure means they're stricken from the program
altogether with no takebacks. So given how Naruto is the same age as his
classmates, and doesn't show any past familiarity with Neji, Tenten, or Lee who
are from the previous year (hell Lee was the dead last of his year meaning if
they were in the same class Naruto was doing better than Lee,) that tells me
one thing. The teachers had Naruto take the tests early, before the others in
his class otherwise could. The reason why is this way he fails all three times
and therefore can never become a ninja whether the Sandaime likes it or not.
Given how Sasuke was not given the same opportunity, this can only mean
malicious intent on the Academy's part.
 
The problem that I have with this idea is this, until my plan to train him with
a trainer, he isn’t the type to keep such things to himself. In fact, because
of how people treating him, and how much a dick Sasuke is towards everyone,
Naruto would like nothing more but to rub it into everyone's face. So whilst
some might think he is a liar, others would not, and would demand to be tested
early, Sasuke would be one of them. So whilst the idea seem good, it only leads
to the problem I lead out. I want some good ideas, as I want Naruto to be
trained by someone else for a few months before the third exam.
 
I have put a poll up if I should age him or not, so if you want to age him go
to my profile and vote. But be warned though, if I get enough reviews telling
me that Sasuke being the same age important to the plot, I will go with the
reviews say and not the poll. But if nothing is said, I’ll go with the poll.
 
Now someone asked me about making Sasuke as a female, I’m giving it some
thought, but I would like to hear your thoughts. Do you think I should turn him
into a her? As I am going to do it with Haku, as he does look like a female
than he does a male, so doesn’t make much of a change in the story.
 
When I first watched the few first episodes of Naruto Shippuden, I find that
the two odd years’ worth of training with Jiraiya was shit. Don’t get me wrong,
he did get better in fighting and maybe controlling his chakra, and a few other
things, but that’s just basic training. SOMETHING that should have been done by
KAKASHI… this just proves just more to me how bad of a teacher Kakashi really
was. But still, I think he could have taught him a few new Jutsus during their
time together.
 
Now I would like your thoughts on something, I got a few good ideas for Rin,
but I would like to know how would a ninja make Kakashi think he killed
someone? Not only that, but for there to be a body too.
 
***** Chapter 2: Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze - Part 3. *****
Author’s_Note: Before we start the next chapter, I would like to explain that
if you are confused about the year I’m using, I done so as there was no year
set for the story. So I just used a year that my friend told me that ninja’s
were around. And those who are bothered by the year because of the tech, this
is fanfiction so tech can be around at any time.
 
After some thought about how to write this chapter, and realizing coming up to
three chapters about Naruto’s parents, I realized that I needed to speed things
up. So this chapter will be the last chapter about Kushina and Minato, this
chapter will have Naruto’s birth, Minato’s death and Kushina being put into an
animated stasis.
 
Now before we begin the next chapter, there's two things I want you all to
think about: the first is that I'm planning to form a Civilian Council. I know,
I know, you're thinking it has been done before and it's cliche, but I'm hoping
to make it different. Up to now, it has been up to the Hokage and his advisors,
bit after the Nine Tails attacks, the Third Hokage was busy with the aftermath,
and needed the money to fix the town up. So instead of giving them all the
money back to the civilians and Clan Heads, they created a civilian council and
allow them to have a voice in what happens in the village outside anything
dealing with the ninja side of things.
 
Now here is where I need your help, I need ideas as to how things should work
with this new council. I was thinking that it would have six civilians and six
shinobi/kunoichi within the council. It would be fair, and they would vote on
what happens, should it be a draw, the Hokage would have the final vote. The
only time there wouldn't be any votes is in war time or in a state of
emergency, at this point Hokage will have full power as to what happens in the
village. But I would like more ideas, and your thoughts of this.
 
Now the next idea is that in the next chapter, I'm going to have Kazuo work
with Orochimaru for a while. The plan is still in the works, which is why I'm
asking for your thoughts and help about this. But the way I was thinking was
that Kazuo goes to Orochimaru to make his grandchildren stronger, and gain info
to payback all those who betrayed or hurt his family and clan. What I want is
ideas as to how Kazuo can help Orochimaru, and vice versa, I was thinking that
that each will make the other stronger somehow, and so I want thoughts and
ideas on how. And seeing that this is for the next chapter, I need the ideas
ASAP.
 
I’m also after ideas as to how make Naruto’s childhood a bit more darker, other
than him being ignored, mistreated at time and people not giving him the time.
The idea I got is that he is bullied, not by the adults like many writers have
done, but by the kids. And instead of stopping it from happening, the adults
turn a blind eye to it all, allowing Naruto to get bullied. They only step in
when they have to, when those loyal to Hokage and agree to treat Naruto fairly,
would they step in. And because no one steps in to help him, Naruto becomes
darker.
 
Important news, the last part of this chapter is unedited for two reasons:
first off my Beta Reader’s email account was hacked and so he couldn’t get onto
it. The second reason is that my Beta Reader is in his final year at school,
and so he hasn’t got much time to edit my work. So I am now looking for a new
Beta Reader to replace him, I need someone who can help with spelling, grammar,
flow of the story, writing dialogue and sentence structure: you can add, remove
and alter my work to make it better. I would also like it if possible to add
your own twist to the story once I am done, but that’s not important, but would
be a bonus for me if you could.

10th_of_October_1900_-_Land_of_Fire,_Few_miles_from_Konohagakure:
 
It has been four years since Minato gained his team, and he and his family were
a few miles away from Konoha. The reason they were so far from the village, was
because Kushina was with child again. For a Jinchūriki, the seals that keep the
Tailed Beast within them are at their weakest during childbirth, due to the
nurturing of the child in the womb taking precedence over the reinforcement of
the seal. So there was a risk of the Tailed Beast escaping and going on a
rampage.
 
Some might wonder why women were made into a Jinchūriki, when such a danger
existed. But some female Jinchūriki might not want children. Those who do want
to have children, as long as the proper preparations are taken, having a child
or even multiple children wouldn’t be a problem. As long as the woman had
someone who can keep the seal steady and make sure the Tailed Beast can’t
escape, as well as restore their chakra that was taken to full power
afterwards. Not only that, but they would need a small Sealing Team there, just
in the case of if the Tailed Beast had indeed been able to escape. But as long
as they took these preparations, there was no reason that a female Jinchūriki
can’t have children.
 
Which was why he along with Naruko, Kushina and Kazuo were at a hut miles away
from the Leaf Village. The hut was built by Minato months before Naruko was
born, so that Kushina would have a safe place to give birth to their daughter.
The hut was built in a canyon on top of a butte, which was was under a power
barrier, so that nothing could get in or out of it until it was down.
 
Now whilst Minato and Kazuo were there to keep the seal steady and make sure
the Tailed Beast didn’t escape, there were four Seal Masters around the hut so
if the Fox did escape they could seal the Beast up again before it could do too
much damage. There were also the ANBU who were loyal to the Third Hokage,
protecting them all. Now Nuruko was there as well so that she could greet her
little brother once he was born.
 
They have been at the at the hut for a week, as their son was suspected to be
born at any time. No one other than those there, knew about this, as it meant
to kept secret so that no one could try and use this opportunity to try and
control the Nine Tailed Beast for their own use. On the seventh day at the hut,
Minato was sitting in a soft chair, watching Naruko talk to Kushina’s belly,
telling her little brother Naruto to hurry up, as she wanted to play with him.
Minato couldn’t help but laugh at his four year old, and told her, “Naruko
dear, it’ll be a while before you can play with him.”
 
“That’s right dear.” Kushina agreed with her husband.
 
“I know that Mummy, Daddy,” the little blonde haired girl acknowledged, “but
the sooner that he gets here, the sooner he can grow old so we can play with
each other.”
 
The two parent’s couldn’t help but laugh at this, it was the kind of thing that
they suspected to come from the four year old. But as Minato sat back and
watched his daughter and wife play with each other, his bright smile became a
sad one as he thought about how they got here, and the loss that they had to
deal with along the way. It all started a few months after Minato gained his
team, when it was announced that the problems that was happening around at the
time had become so bad that it was now known as the Third Shinobi World War.
 
Thankfully he nor his team were called upon just yet, as it was only the start
of the war. But for him though, his obligations were split between training his
students and helping with the war effort. But seeing that they could be called
at any moment, he was forced to teach them war tactics and how to fight on a
war front. It was hard work seeing that Obito and Kakashi could never pay nice
with each other, while Rin was forced to play peacekeeper between the two. It
was his wife that pointed out the problem with Obito and Kakashi: Obito fancied
Rin but she fancied Kakashi, However Kakashi had no feelings for her. So
because Rin fancied Kakashi, and was better than him in almost every way, Obito
hated him. Sadly for Minato, there wasn’t much he could do about it.
 
Over the first year things were going on as normal. The war was still raging
on, but as of yet, his team wasn’t called into it. During the year, Kushina has
grown close to his team, bringing lunch to them when they were in the village
training. But because of Rin’s cuteness, Kushina grew the closest to her, much
to Rin’s dismay, as his wife could be overbearing at times. However, Rin dealt
with it like a good Shinobi, considering it helped that during her free time,
Rin was able to play with Naruko. Over the year Rin and Naruko became close, so
close that whilst not related by blood, they thought of themselves as sisters.
And should anyone hurt one of the two, may Kami have mercy on their souls, as
the Red-Hot Habanero would not.
 
By the end of the year, Minato thought his team was ready to become chūnin and
so he decided to put them through the exams. Sadly, only Kakashi was able to
pass it by defeating Might Guy in the third and final exam, and so becoming a
chūnin. So Minato spent the following year training Obito and Rin harder, so
they could pass the exam the following year, which they did. Just as Obito and
Rin became chūnin, the seven year old Kakashi became a jōnin, the youngest one
ever. It was a few days later when shit hit the fan for Minato and his team, as
they were finally called into the war.
 
Their first mission in the war was to destroy the Kannabi Bridge, as it would
hinder Iwagakure from using Kusagakure as a relief point. But on the way to do
so, shortly after entering Kusa, they encountered an Iwagakure scout. Upon
encountering scout, Kakashi tried to eliminate him with his new jutsu, the
Chidori, but the attack speed left him vulnerable to counter-attack, forcing
Minato to step in, save Kakashi, and kill the scout himself.
 
Minato remembered that after that attack, there a scout from their own Village
that appeared with orders that Minato was to head to the frontlines. So Minato
then transferred leadership of the mission to Kakashi, but not before telling
the young jōnin, to not use the Chidori again. If he knew what he knew now,
Minato would be in two minds about what happened next. As he would have told
them to wait and keep out of sight, and they would carry on with the mission
once he returned.
 
The reason that he was being called to the frontlines, was because that the
Konoha shinobi were outnumbered and most of them were killed, but with his
arrival and help, the surviving shinobi were able to wipe out the opposing
Iwagakure forces. Thanks to him, they were victorious in this battle, which was
against a thousand ninja, and it would later convince the Third Tsuchikage to
accept a peace treaty with the Hidden Village.
 
Minato sighed sadly as he remembered that when he rendezvoused with his team
afterwards, he found Kakashi and Rin were surrounded by Iwagakure forces. He
soon found that Obito was dead, with Kakashi and Rin injured and barely able to
fight. And so within his anger, Minato slaughtered the shinobi. Once he rescued
them, he allowed them to recover, and as he did, he asked what happened.
 
Kakashi and Rin informed their leader, that shortly after he left for the
frontlines, all three of them continued to trek further into Kusa. But as they
did, they were found and surrounded by the scout’s teammates,, who kidnapped
Rin in order to find out what their mission was.
 
Kakashi informed Minato that Obito immediately suggested that they rescue Rin,
but Kakashi elected to abandon her, as he believed it was more important to
finish the mission as ordered, before concerning themselves with her safety.
Obito refused to go along with this order, as he believed that teammates were
more important than following orders, and so he was going to rescue his friend
Rin. But before leaving, Obito told Kakashi that Sakumo, Kakashi’s father, had
been a true hero and that, whilst it was bad to abandon one's mission, those
who would abandon their own teammates in order to complete a mission, were
worse than scum. So Obito left the new jōnin, to carry out the mission alone.
 
Minato had a tear in his eye now as he remembered Rin taking the story from
Kakashi and informed him that, during the kidnap she found out their names were
Taiseki and Kakkō. And that Kakkō attempted to interrogate her by using
genjutsu, to find out what their mission was, and if she knew anything about
Konoha's war efforts. But thanks to her strong will though, they weren’t able
to break her, which till this day Minato was proud of. As not many at her age
would be able to withstand interrogation under the right genjutsu.
 
Rin went on to explain that Obito was somehow able to locate the cave the enemy
was using as a hideout and where she was being kept, but was found by a
camouflaged Taiseki before he could launch a rescue. Here Kakashi told Minato
that Obito’s words had gotten to him, and that he was wrong all this time and
so he went to help his teammate to save Rin. He arrived in time to save Obito
from Taiseki with his White Light Chakra Sabre, which he had inherited from his
father. During the attack though, Kakashi had lost the use of his left eye.
 
Minato remembered with a sad fond smile, that both Rin and Kakashi smiled sadly
as they informed him that in his his desire to help Kakashi, Obito awakened his
Sharingan. It was thanks to this that Obito was able to see through Taiseki's
camouflage and kill him. After defeating Taiseki, they rescued Rin. The problem
was her other captor, Kakkō, who had caused the cave to collapse around them.
Because of this, the team ran for the exit, but on their way out, due to his
damaged eye, Kakashi was struck in his blind spot and had difficulty avoiding
the falling rocks. Thankfully though, if you could call it thankfully, Obito
noticed that Kakashi was about to be hit by a large falling boulder, so Obito
pushed him out of the way, and in doing so, took his place.
 
Rin and Kakashi informed that the right side of Obito’s body had been crushed,
and they had no way to free him, but the young black haired boy didn’t seem to
care. He was happy that his friends were safe, Obito accepted his fate. In fact
he made an offering, to replace Kakashi’s lost eye, he gave his left Sharingan
as an apology for not getting him a present earlier when Kakashi became a
jōnin. Not because he didn’t want to, but because he wasn’t sure what to get
the new jōnin. So this was a way to thank his friend for the help, and
something he could give as a present that could help make Kakashi stronger. So
as the team’s shinobi medic, Obito asked Rin to do the transplant. It was hard,
but knowing that time was against them, Rin wasted no time given the very grim
circumstances, and had begun the procedure immediately.
 
After Rin transplanted Obito's Sharingan into Kakashi, the young jōnin
confronted Kakkō. During the fight, his White Light Chakra Sabre was destroyed,
but he was able to kill Kakkō with Chidori; due to the Sharingan's heightened
vision, Kakashi was finally able to handle its speed.
 
Kakashi informed his team leader that he went back to where Obito and Rin were,
but Iwa reinforcements soon arrived and started constricting the rubble. Here
Obito had asked him to take Rin away and keep her safe, which Kakashi did,
leaving Obito behind. As they left the cave, they were surrounded by Iwagakure
forces, and they were forced to defend themselves for as long as they could,
holding the shinobi off until Minato eventually tracked them down and finished
off the rest himself.
 
Once they were healed up and ready to head out, they left to finish the mission
to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. When they had done that, they returned to Konoha
to mourn Obito's death and give him the burial that he deserved. Despite many
from the Uchiha clan being against Kakashi wielding a Sharingan as he had no
blood-ties to them, Fugaku Uchiha, the Uchiha Head at the time, chose to honour
Obito's dying actions and let Kakashi keep his gift.
 
Kakashi changed a lot since then, changed from being a loner, to someone who
was committed to themselves to teamwork and always placed his teammates' well-
being above the mission objective. He started to believe that goals can be
accomplished more effectively together, asking for help when he needs it,
providing help when it is requested of him, and even praise allies when they
deserve it. An abuse of one's teammates is the only thing that can makes
Kakashi cast aside his normally stoic demeanour, causing him to attack without
mercy or his usual sense of sportsmanship.
 
Thinking about this brought more tears to Minato, and his daughter saw him and
asked, “Daddy, why are you crying?”
 
“Oh I’m thinking about the past sweetheart,” Minato told his daughter, “and I
remembered some sad moments that all.”
 
“Okay daddy.” Naruko told her father as she hugged him.
 
Kushina watched the father and daughter, and she suspected what was wrong. He
was thinking about the deaths of two of his students, Obito and Rin. Obito died
protecting his friends, whilst Rin died a few months later as she threw herself
in front of an attack from Kakashi.
 
From what she was told, during a mission, Rin was kidnapped by Kirigakure,
otherwise known as The Village Hidden in the Mist, for some unknown reason.
Upon hearing about this, Kakashi went out and rescue his teammate. But on the
way back to Konoha, Kakashi informed them that Rin revealed that Kiri had
sealed the Three Tail Beast into her body with the intention to, once she
inevitably lost control of it, have it unleashed on Konoha and destroy the
village from within.
 
In order to prevent this from happening, Kakashi told them that Rin begged him
to kill her, but he refused, unwilling to break his promise to Obito to protect
her no matter what, and hoping to find some other solution. Before Rin could
argue against this, Kirigakure ninja had caught up with them and tried to
retrieve her, where Kakashi fought them off with his renamed Chidori, the
Lightning Cutter.
 
During one of his attacks, Rin jumped in front of Kakashi's attack, and the
young jōnin was unable to stop it and so stab his former teammate and friend.
As she died, she told the masked boy that she was happy, as he would be safe.
The young Hatake boy told them that the trauma of this caused his Sharingan to
evolve into a Mangekyō Sharingan shortly before he passed out from exhaustion
and heart break. He was later found by Konoha reinforcements, but none could
explain the slaughter of all the Kiri forces.
 
When news of Rin’s death came to them, she and Naruko were heartbroken, as
Kushina thought of her as another daughter, and Naruko thought of her as an
older sister. It took a while, but over time the pain lessened, but Naruko
would cry when she heard the name of her older sister. Which is why they don’t
say their names around her, not until she at least gets older. She and Minato
try and not think about them often, as they still cry when they do too.
 
They know that as a shinobi, death was just a matter of time the moment you
become a genin, it was rare for one to die as one, but it is possible if you
had bad luck. The possibility of death goes up so high once they become chūnin.
But to die so at such a young age, not having the chance to live life, fall in
love and have their own family was painful, even to a seasoned shinobi like
Minato and Kushina. Sure as shinobi they were taught to suppress their
feelings, but as a parent yourself, to see child die, a shinobi or not, it was
hard for them. Minato was upset as he wasn’t there for Rin, he believed that if
he was there, he might have been able to save her by removing the Tail Beast.
But he was away on another mission for the Third Hokage.
 
Kushina remembered that as time passed both the Third Hokage of the Hidden
Village of the Leaf, from the Land of the Fire, and the Third Tsuchikage of the
Village Hidden by Rocks from the Land of Earth, decided to end the Third
Shinobi World War by signing a peace treaty with each other. Both sides had
begun to grow weary of sacrificing more lives to an ongoing stalemate war, so
decided that a peace treaty over the objection of military hard-liners in their
respective villages, would be the only way to stop the war. Ōnoki, the Third
Tsuchikage, was at first reluctant to accept the peace treaty, he only accepted
it after seeing Minato Namikaze, single-handedly stop an invasion consisting of
a thousand Iwa shinobi.
 
Now after the war ended, there were a few people within Konohagakure who were
upset at the losses of their ninja, Danzō among them. Even Kushina was one of
them in part, as if the Third took a firmer hand in the war, Rin and Obito
might have been alive today. But she also knew that whilst she was upset with
the Third, she also knew that the others seemed to forget that within a war,
there’ll always be losses on both sides of the war, and there wasn’t much he
could do about it. However though those who were upset with him, wanted the
Third Hokage to step down as Hokage.
 
Kushina learned that in the place the Third, they wanted Danzō to become the
Fourth Hokage, who was unlike the Third, he wasn’t soft hearted. The Third was
kind and a pacifist, and wasn’t willing to make the difficult decisions. Those
who want him out thought that if the Third took a firmer hand to things, some
of their problems, even the war could have been avoided. So with someone like
Danzō who was raised in times of war, was the ideal person for the next Hokage,
as Danzō beliefs were of that the interests of the village, should be placed
above all else, even ethics and morals. Anything and everything to protect the
village, handling any threat that would hurt their village in anyway possible.
Something Kushina didn’t want, as it could start another war, something she
didn’t want.
 
But Kushina knew that as long as the current Hokage is alive, he could decide
who becomes the next Hokage. So seeing that he is forced to step down, he had
to think about who he wanted to become the Fourth Hokage. The Third had hoped
that his prized student Orochimaru could succeed him as the next Hokage, but
despite his best efforts, he could never convince him of the Will of Fire: that
Konoha was a family that the Hokage had to risk everything to keep safe.
 
Hiruzen considered Jiraiya as his successor, but Jiraiya did not believe he was
responsible enough to be the next Hokage. But Jiraiya did suggest to Hiruzen
that he could use his, Jiraiya's, former student, Minato Namikaze, who had
proven himself time and again during the Third Shinobi World War. Hiruzen
realized that her husband was a good choice, not only was he powerful, but he
also had the Will of Fire that Hiruzen. And so her husband become the Fourth
Hokage. For the first few months, the former Hokage helped her husband with the
transition of power by advising him on how to handle individuals and other
village matters. He even retained some of his own ANBU, who helped protect her
and her family.
 
Now before they knew it, Kushina learnt that she was going to give birth once
again. This time it was going to be a baby boy, Naruko was happy that she was
going to get a baby brother soon. Now they were going to call him Naruto, from
Minato’s former sensei, Jiraiya, book: Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi.
Minato enjoyed the book, finding the main character very much like Jiraiya. He
decided to name his and Kushina Uzumaki's then-unborn son "Naruto" after the
main character, hoping that their Naruto would be just as determined as the
character (and thus its author.) Jiraiya tried to convince them not to since
that would make him Naruto's godfather, but Minato and Kushina insisted this
was a good thing.
 
During her pregnancy the former Hokage asked Minato for a favour, to give
Kakashi bodyguard duty, to protect her. Kushina learnt that since the death of
his friends, Kakashi fallen to darkness, and Third hoped that protecting her
would pull him back. Hoping that the nightmares the young man had would stop,
and he would become a better person once again. Instead of the cold and
ruthless person he was at the moment.
 
As Kushina was thinking about the past, she suddenly felt a pain in her belly
and seconds later her water broke, letting her know she was going to have
Naruto soon. Knowing this she screamed in pain, and shouted, “Minato! Get
Biwako! My water has broken.”
 
Biwako Sarutobi was the former Hokage’s wife, and a medical ninja that was
looking after Kushina during her pregnancy with Naruto, like she did with
Naruko. She was the only one able to keep the secret about the seal that was
currently keeping the Nine Tail Beast weak during this time. Biwako had long,
brown hair which she kept in a high ponytail, dark eyes, slightly visible
creases at the corners of her eyes and her mouth. She wore a purple kimono-like
dress, along with a white haori and sandals.
 
Now hearing that his wife was in labour, Minato went outside to get Biwako, who
was taking a break from keeping an eye on his wife, waiting for this moment. He
just wished that Kazuo was around, he was patrolling the canyon to make sure no
would get her his daughter.
 
So once he got Biwako, they left Naruko with an ANBU to play with, they took
Kushina to the sealing chamber under the hut. This was where she would give
birth to Naruto, as it had powerful barriers to keep the Tailed Beast in should
it escape from Kushina.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Birthing_Chamber:
 
“I forgot how much pain Kushina went through when she had Naruko.” Minato said
thoughtfully as he remembered the time when Naruko was born.
 
“And like I told you then, she’ll be fine,” Biwako reminded the Fourth Hokage,
“forget about that and stay focused on the Nine Tail Seal. Remember you are now
the Fourth Hokage, start acting like one and get a grip on yourself. As I told
you last time, most men would drop dead from such pain, women are much
stronger.”
 
As she said this, Minato could feel the Nine Tail Beast trying to break from
the seal, so he had to put a bit more power into the seal. ‘Damn, the Fox is
just as strong as last time,’ Minato thought to himself, remembering Naruko’s
birth, ‘it is still trying to break free.’
 
“Come on dear, you can do this.” Minato encourage his wife, this lasted for
about half an hour. Minato was encouraging his wife, as he kept the seal
together. If he was honest with himself, the damn Tailed Beast seemed to be
more power this time round. It was taking everything he had to keep the Fox
sealed within his wife.
 
“I can see his head Kushina, we’re almost there my dear.” Biwako told the
mother to be.
 
“Just hang there, you're doing great.” said the medical ninja that was helping
Biwako with the birth.
 
“Naruto my boy, hurry up and get out!” Minato called out as he felt the Fox
almost breaking free. As he pushed more power into the seal, then he yelled at
the beast, “And you stay in there Kyūbi!”
 
Just then, Naruto was born, and Biwako told the medical ninja to give her some
hot water so she could clean the baby up, and making sure the after birth was
taken from Kushina. As there was no other problems she had to deal with now.
 
“Today I’m a father again.” Minato said with a smile, as he hold out his arms
to hold his child.
 
“Yes, you have a healthy baby boy Minato.” Biwako told the father, before she
past him and reminded him, “Remember what I told you last time, mother’s first
father’s second.
 
“So Naruto, we finally meet.” Kushina told her new son with a painful smile.
 
“Now, now let me check to make sure your son is okay.” Biwako told the parents.
 
“Kushina, I know it is a silly question that you just give birth, but are you
alright?” asked the Fourth Hokage.
 
“I’m ok.” his wife told him.
 
“Alright, now I realized what you have just been through, but we have to reseal
the Nine Tails.” Minato told his wife as he put his hands on his belly. But
before he could, he heard something and as he looked around, he saw Biwako and
the other medical ninja Taji collapses onto the floor, dead. Calling out in
shock Minato cried out, “Lady Biwako! Taji!”
 
Behind them was a man wearing a black hooded robe, and a white mask with one
eye hole and what Minato thought was black flames on one side of the mask.
“Fourth Hokage Minato, step away from the Jinchūriki,” the masked man told the
Hokage, “or the child will die within his first minute of living.”
 
‘How the hell did this person get past the barrier?’Minato thought darkly
worried for his wife and his new born child. ‘Who, who is this bastard?’
 
Just then Kushina screamed out in pain, and Minato grasped, “Kushina!”
 
‘Damn it, the Nine Tail Seal is breaking!’Minato thought worriedly as he saw
seals on his wife was spreading, as he knew they were slowly breaking. He knew
if he didn’t do something, the Nine Tailed Beast would be free, but at the same
time, his son was in danger too, he didn’t know what to do.
 
“Step away from the Jinchūriki,” repeated the masked, “don’t you care what
happens to the brat?”
 
“Please wait, please stay calm,” Minato told the man, as he raised his arms and
stepped away from his wife. He didn’t want to, but he didn’t want to risk his
new son or his daughter who was above them. Whatever happens, once he got his
son, Minato could give chase to this man and get his wife back.
 
“Speak for yourself, I am as calm as I can be.” the masked man told Minato, as
he threw Naruto into the air.
 
Seeing this Kushina cried out in fear, “Naruto!”
 
But as the masked man jumped to get Naruto, Minato used his Flying Raijin Jutsu
to teleport to get to his son before he hit the ground. He thanked the gods
that he decided to put the seals around the room, just in case the Fox did
escape, and he needed to fight it. The young man never thought that he would
need it to save his son like this.
 
“Leave it to the Yellow Flash of the Leaf,” remarked Minato, “but what about
the next one.”
 
And with that, the masked man triggered the seals on the blanket, that set the
them alight. Minato saw this and so he dropped the blanket, as Kushina cried
out to her son. When Minato dropped the blanket, he ran out of the chamber, and
the hut, along the way he told the ANBU that was with Naruko to come with him.
It was a good thing that he did, whilst he wasn’t sure what kind of damage the
Paper Bomb would make, he was glad he told the ANBU to follow them with Naruko.
Just in case. Just as he told the ANBU to follow them, the hut blow up right
behind them.
 
When they barely made it out of the house, he sighed in relief and looked at
Naruto and Naruko, glad they both were ok. “Good both Naruto and Naruko are
fine. What about you Bull are you okay?”
 
“I’m fine Lord Hokage, but what about you.” said Bull, as he pointed at the
Fourth Hokage’s foot, where a piece of wood was stuck in it.
 
Minato looked at his foot, and for the first time since they left the hut, felt
the pain coming from it, “It hurts but nothing I’m not used to.” Minato rasped
in pain, as he pulled the wood from his foot, ‘Who was that guy? He made me use
the Flying Raijin Jutsu.’ Something that a rare few could do, but then again he
was using it save to son, ‘Not only that, but his target was Kushina, as she
was the Jinchūriki. But how? We were very careful to not allow anyone to know
that she was one. Whatever the case, whoever he is, he was able to succeeded in
separating us. I need to hurry and take the kids to the safehouse and then find
her.’
 
Just then, Kazuo appeared in a puff of smoke, seeing the hut on fire, he
worriedly asked, “What happened here? Where's Kushina?”
 
So Minato explained to his father-in-law what happened, before finishing up by
asking, “Where were you?”
 
“I found three of the ANBU that meant to be protecting you all killed, so I
searched the area to see if the others were okay, and to see if I could find
the killer.” Kazuo explained Minato, “But I found them all killed, so I kept on
searching, as I never thought once that he would be able to get past the
barrier, as it was created to withstand the Tailed Beasts. So whoever it is
must be, was either very powerful or very skilled, to had gotten past it.”
 
“Or both.” Minato acknowledged fearfully, not wanting someone that powerful to
get their hands on Kyūbi.
 
“Yes or both,” admitted Kazuo darkly, before turning to look at his
Grandchildren and asked Minato, “what are you going to do now?”
 
“What do you suspect?” Minato asked sarcastically, “I’m going to take Bull and
my children to the safehouse I set up, where no one knows about, and then I’m
going to find my wife and kill the bastard who would dare hurt my family.”
 
“Good to hear,” Kazuo smirked at this, “and I’ll help you. No one dares hurt
the little family I have left, and get away with it.”
 
“Good, now let’s get Naruto and Naruko somewhere safe.” Minato told Kazuo, and
with that he used the Flying Raijin Jutsu to take the five of them to his
safehouse. Although, once they got there, Minato had to take a Food Pill to
replenish his chakra. Because he used so much chakra to get the five of them
there,
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Meanwhile,_Unknown_Location:
 
Meanwhile with Kushina, she found herself at a location she hadn’t seen before,
tied up to four stone pillars by black chakra. As she was being tied up, she
was breathing heavily and she said, “Aright, what do you want from me?”
 
“I'm going to extract the Nine Tails, and Crush the Leaf Village.” the masked
man informed the Jinchūriki.
 
“No you can't.” Kushina told the man.
 
“Like you could even stop me, or your husband for that matter, in fact he can’t
get here easily.” the man told her, with a smirk under the mask, “Minato’s
teleportation jutsu, allows him to move instantly between locations that are
marked with jutsu formulas.” the masked man informed the young mother, “Which
is where the formula is incorporated into the seal that has the Nine Tails
sealed. So that way your husband could protect you at all times, but he's far
away. And your Nine Tails seal is now weakened, thanks to your childbirth, so I
can now use the beast for my own needs.”
 
“Please don’t do this,” begged Kushina, “the Nine Tails is uncontrollable and
would kill and destroy everything around it.”
 
“I know, which is why I want it.” the masked man said darkly, “Do you have any
idea how long I have waited for this day? A long time, and nothing is going to
stop me to get what I want now I’m so close.” And with that, the masked man
started to undo the seal on Kushina’s belly. As he did, Kushina began to scream
in pain as an orange chakra cloak appeared around her, along with a few tails
as well.
 
After a few minutes of Kushina screaming in pain, in the seal begun to open,
and in doing so, made it so that a black hole was open.
 
“Now come on out NINE TAILS!” the masked man cried out as he pulled a black
like entity. This black entity, soon turned into orange chakra, and then into
the Nine Tailed Beast itself.
 
“Good, now we’ll head of to the Hidden Leaf Village.” the masked man told the
beast. Normally one wouldn’t be able to control any of the Tail Beasts, more so
with the Nine Tailed Beast. But the masked man wasn’t a normal man, he was an
Uchiha and had the Sharingan, eyes with great power. One of these powers were
if you were strong enough, and knew the right ability, you could control any of
the Tailed Beasts, even Kyūbi.
 
With the Nine Tails out of the seal, the black chakra rope disappeared, and
fell onto the rock, whilst not dead, Kushina was weakened and unable to move
much. She only had enough power to push herself up, and call out with one word,
“Wait!”
 
“You Kushina are just about amazing,” the masked man acknowledged, “you don't
die right away when the tailed beast is extracted. You were the Nine-Tails
Jinchūriki.” and with that the man had Nine Tails attack Kushina, and in doing
so said, “So I'll let you die by his hands.”
 
And with that, Kyūbi used it right paw to squish his former prison. But at the
last second, Minato appeared and saved his wife, whilst Kazuo appeared in front
of them, ready to protect his daughter and her husband.
 
“You really are as quick as a flash,” commented the masked man, as he saw
Minato save his wife, “but you are too late, I’ve got what I wanted.”
 
With Kushina though, whilst she was weak, she was worried about them and so
asked, “Our children, are they okay?”
 
“They’re fine,” Minato reinsured his wife, “they are with Bull at the
safehouse.”
 
“Ah good,” Kushina sighed in relief, “Minato that masked man, is with Kyūbi,
they are heading towards our village.”
 
Both Kazuo and Minato wanted to fight this man, but they knew that alone they
wouldn’t win. Not only was there the Nine Tails to deal with, but the masked
man too, who had to be very powerful to break the Nine Tail Seal. Sure it was
weakened thanks to Kushina giving birth to Naruto, but it still needed someone
powerful enough to break the seal itself. Whilst they couldn’t see the masked
man’s face properly, Minato thought he saw that the man had a Sharingan, and if
that was true, two of them fighting him wouldn’t be enough, especially with
Kyūbi there.
 
Realizing this, Minato called out to his father-in-law, “Kazuo, go and warn
Hiruzen about what is going on. I’ll take Kushina to the kids and come back as
soon as I can.”
 
“Understood.” Kazuo replied, knowing that a full out fight without backup would
be foolish here, and so decided to get it, whilst Minato took his wife to the
safehouse to be with their new-born son and to be with their daughter.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
So as his son-in-law used his Flying Raijin Jutsu to get to get to his
safehouse, Kazuo used the Body Flicker Technique to get to Hiruzen’s office.
When he got there, he heard the former Hokage, “It can’t be.” As he felt
something he hoped he wouldn’t in his life time, the Nine Tails chakra.
 
“Lord Hiruzen, we have a problem.” said Kazuo.
 
“Lord Kazuo,” the former Hokage said in surprise, not suspecting him there when
his daughter was meant to be giving birth, “what are you doing here? I thought
you would be with your daughter, seeing that she should be giving birth at any
moment.”
 
“She did, but they were attacked.” Kazuo explained urgently.
 
“What!?” Hiruzen asked in worry, “What happened?”
 
“I don’t know the full story, but the ANBU that you sent to protect her and my
family were killed by a masked man.” explained Kazuo, “Then he kidnapped
Kushina, where he freed the Nine Tails. We were too late to stop it, but
instead I came to warn you, whilst Minato went and took Kushina to a
safehouse.”
 
Hearing this, Hiruzen stood up in shock and fear at what he heard, as he went
to the cupboard in the office to take out his armour, so he could go out to
fight the Chakra Beast. They couldn’t allow it to run free, as they didn’t know
what would happen if they did.
 
“Do you know who this masked man was?” asked the former Hokage, as he put his
armour on.
 
“Sadly no, just that he is coming here to attack the village.” Kazuo half-lied
to the former Hokage, he knew it was an Uchiha, he wasn’t sure if he was a
someone from the Clan within, a Rogue Ninja, or a off branch that lived out of
the village. So he didn’t want make a problem with the Uchiha Clan from the
village, as whilst he didn’t care much about the village, he did care about his
family. So if he blamed Uchiha Clan from the village, it could create problems
that could get back to his family, something he didn’t want.
 
“Okay, in that case I want you to patrol the village, and when the masked man
or the Nine Tails attacks, I want you to keep them busy until I or Minato come
to help you.” explained Hiruzen, “Whilst you are doing this, I’ll get ANBU and
the other ninjas not on missions to take the civilian to the settlers and have
them meet up with us.”
 
And so the two parted, Kazuo went and patrolled the village for the masked man
and Kyūbi, whilst the former Hokage went to the ANBU Headquarters to get the
ANBU to get them to get the villagers to the settlers. But as he got to the
ANBU Headquarters, the Nine Tails appeared and started to attack the village.
But as he got out to the front of the Headquarters, an ANBU met him. He was
wearing a dog like porcelain mask, and had on black clothing, a grey flak
jacket, metal arm guards and gloves, and ninja sandals with spikes, three ninja
pouches on their back-waist and a signature spiral tattoo on their shoulder.
They also had a sword on their back.
 
The ANBU walked up to Hiruzen and said, “Lord Hiruzen, it’s the Nine Tails, it
is attacking the village.”
 
“I know, I’m going to try and restrain it,” Hiruzen told the ANBU, “I want you
and the others to protect the villagers and bring them to the settlers. Use any
shinobi that you can find to help you.” And with that the ANBU the Body Flicker
Technique to gather the others to protect the villagers.
 
‘So what Kazuo told me was true,’the former Hokage thought to himself,‘someone
has freed the Nine Tails and set it upon the village. I had hoped it wasn’t
true. But why? Why would someone want to do this, and how are they controlling
the Beast? Is a member of the Uchiha Clan behind all this?’
 
“You should have ordered the Uchiha Police Force to guard the civilians, and
keep them in the back with the rear guard.” Hiruzen heard a familiar voice
behind him.
 
It was his old friend and rival, Danzō Shimura, he had black, shaggy hair, and
his right eye was bandaged, which he said was because of a battle wound. His
good eye was brown. Now Danzō had an x-shaped scar on his chin ever since his
youth. He was wearing a white shirt, with a black or dark grey robe over the
top of it covering from his feet, to just over his right shoulder. The robe
conceals his right arm which was bandaged.
 
Over the years they fought often about how to run the village, Hiruzen wanted
to do thing peacefully and talk before taking action. But Danzō wanted him to
take a firmer hand to things, show the Elemental Nutrition their strength, show
that they couldn’t be walked all over. Both of them had different ideas as to
what a ninja should be.
 
“But why?” Hiruzen asked his old friend, “We can use their Visual Prowess of
the Uchiha to suppress the Nine Tails!”
 
“But they can also manipulate the Nine Tails too!” countered Danzō, “You have
heard the rumours of the unrest within the Clan. If they decided to betray the
village and take control of the Nine Tails, they could use it to their
advantage and destroy the village. It would be like the second coming of Madara
Uchiha.”
 
Hiruzen could only sigh at this, as he too was thinking the same thing. But at
the same time, they needed every able shinobi to deal with the Nine Tails.
Before he could say anything though, the ground shook, and the former Hokage
knew he had to go, “I'll leave you to protect the civilians. You may order the
ANBU and the security units as you wish. And make sure to guard the youth of
the village as well.” He knew that the Uchiha Clan wouldn’t like this, but he
couldn’t risk one of them taking control of the Nine Tails for themselves.
 
“I understand.” Danzō told Hiruzen, and with that, the former Hokage left to
deal with Kyūbi.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
So as Danzō got the ANBU and the Uchiha Police force protected the village,
something the Uchiha Clan didn’t like as some of them wanted to fight too,
Hiruzen joined Kazuo and the other ninja battling the Nine Tails. Minato too,
entered the battlefield once he knew his family was okay.
 
Once he landed on his stone head, which was on Hokage Rock, he looked upon the
destruction of the village caused by Kyūbi, he then thought to himself, ‘As the
Hokage of this village, I shall protect the village of my ancestors. My home...
This is what I have to do right now. I won’t allow you destroy my home
Kyūbi.’Just then Kyūbi roared and looked in his direction as if he heard his
thoughts. ‘So you notice me then err?’
 
Just as he thought this, he noticed that the Beast had created a Tailed Beast
Ball, and was just releasing it towards him. “I won’t let you do this.” Minato
told the Beast as the Ball headed towards him, hand seals for the Flying Raijin
Jutsu. Just before the chakra ball hit Minato, it hit an invisible wall
instead, and it looked like time and space warped the area and the ball was
swallowed into nothing.
 
Just as this happened there was a huge explosion far off, and upon seeing that,
Minato thought to himself, ‘With that much power, I'll have to choose carefully
where I redirect his attacks.’
 
Just then Minato could sense that someone was behind him and about to attack,
so flicking his wrist, a kunai flew into Minato’s hands. But just as he went
into the attack, the kunai went right throughthe masked man, as if he were
merely a ghost. As the kunai went through him, the masked man grabbed Minato’s
arm, to stop him from attacking again.
 
“I am your opponent, and you have lost.” the masked man told Minato. As the man
said this, space seemed to wrap around Minato and he was being pulled into the
masked man’s striking range. But before he could, he used Flying Raijin Jutsu
to escape the pull disappear. “Hmm, he got away, he’s so fast,” the masked man
whispered in awe, not suspecting someone to be able to pull away from his Kamui
Jutsu. “Next time I’ll take him much quicker, as soon as we touch.”
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
As the Fourth Hokage landed flat on his back at the other end of the village,
he said to himself, “Damn it, my attack went right through him.” Minato
couldn’t believe it, he had never heard of a jutsu that could do such a feat,
to render an attack completely useless like that. “But he then made himself
solid again and tried to pull me towards him. What was that jutsu?”
 
Just then, the space within the air seemed to split and had created what looked
like a whirlpool, which the masked man then walked out of, and said in a
dangerous tone, “You shall not escape me again, Hokage.”
 
‘So he could use a teleportation jutsu too?’Minato thought to himself, ‘That
must be how he was able to get inside the chamber, as well as to escape with
Kushina so quickly. He also defeated the ANBU black op, which was assigned by
Lord Hiruzen and got past the highest level classified barrier, as well as knew
that the Nine Tails Seal would be weakened during childbirth.
 
‘What's more impressive than that, he was able to undo the Kyūbi’s seal as well
as tame him too. He was also able to slip in and out of the villages barriers
without triggering any of our alarms. As far as I know, there's only one
shinobi who can do all this.’Then out loud he asked the masked man, “Are you
Madara Uchiha?” At this the masked man pulled his hood down, but Minato went on
to say, “No that would be impossible, he is dead after all.”
 
“I wonder about that.” the masked man told Minato.
 
“In the end though, it doesn't really matter who you are." Minato told the man,
"But why attack the Hidden Leaf village?”
 
“What would you like to hear?" asked the masked man, "I could say I did it on a
whim, or that I planned it all. Or that it's for war, or even for peace.”
 
'Whatever the case, he's no ordinary opponent!'Minato acknowledged to himself,
‘He can control the Kyūbi, and his teleportation jutsu can even suppress both
Lord Second's and my own. Not only that, but he has dangerous ideology. If I
don't settle this now, we'll have an even bigger problem than Kyūbi. If I
teleport myself to the village, he'll follow me, and that might cause the
village even more trouble.’Minato didn’t like that idea, as it would put too
many people at risk, ‘If he's anything like Madara, he won’t be able to keep
the Nine Tails under the summoning jutsu for too much longer. I’ll have to just
entrust the village to Lord Third, and just take this guy down, right here,
right now.’
 
Before Minato could say anything else, the masked man said, “Now that I have
freed Kyūbi, there is no hope for any of you!” And with that, both men
struck...
 
Just as Minato used his kunai to attack, the kunai went right through the
masked man. However, the chains that were behind the man, had wrapped around
Minato and were tightening. But the Fourth Hokage used his Flying Raijin Jutsu
to teleport himself out of arms way.
 
‘My physical attacks have no effect on him.’ Minato thought to himself as he
teleported away from the man a few meters, ‘He makes himself solid when he
attacks me. I have to allow myself to be struck, and at the same time i’ll
strike him as well. But he knows that he's vulnerable when he attacks, and
considering the time remaining for the summoning Nine Tails jutsu. He won't
want a lengthy battle either. In other words, the only choice is to strike at
the same time as he strikes me. Still, he takes a risk when he attacks. So
whoever attacks an instant faster, will win this match.’
 
And so, a second later, Minato went in for the kill, using the kunai that he
uses for his Flying Raijin Jutsu. And when he did,, the kunai went through the
masked man as he suspected it would. He then created a Rasengan as soon as the
kunai was fully through the masked man and when he was about to attack Minato.
Minato then teleported to the kunai and hit his target with his Rasengan. Once
the masked man was hit by the Rasengan, he hit the ground with a small impact.
Little did the masked man know it at the time, but Minato had marked him with
that attack so that he could use the Flying Raijin whenever the Fourth wanted.
 
‘Damn it, he teleported himself to his kunai.’ the masked man realized as he
hit the ground.
 
And at the same time Minato said, “Flying Raijin Level Two.”
 
As soon as he hit the ground, the masked man jumped away and onto one of the
boulders that was close by. Whilst he could still move, he didn’t get totally
off scot free - he was in pain and his left hand was liquidizing and falling
off him.
 
“You got me." the masked man acknowledged, surprised that someone was able to
hurt him as much as Minato was able to, not in a long while since someone was
able to do this. "You really are a slippery one. I never should have let my
guard down around yo-.” before he could finish what he was saying, Minato
appeared in front of him and hit him in the stomach.
 
“The Flying Raijin,” the masked me said in pain, and realized what happened, he
said, “of course, he must have marked me somewhere.” Then as he looked down he
saw a seal appear on him, it was the one seal he didn’t want to see, ‘Blast it,
a contract seal.’ the masked man thought to himself, before looking to Minato
and saying, “Trying to separate the Nine Tails from me are you?”
 
“With this, Kyūbi is no longer yours to control.” Minato told the masked man.
 
Whilst the contract seal worked, Kyūbi was still on a rampage, but this time
for a different reason, two reasons in fact. The first was that someone dared
to control it, it the mightiest of the Tailed Beasts, he was unhappy about
that. The second reason was that it has been sealed for so long, within two
different people in the last hundred years or so. And seeing that it was so
mad, it needed to let out some steam and this would do. But the thing was that
the shinobi and kunoichi of this village was pushing it away from the village,
and into a nearby forest. Kyūbi wasn’t making it easy for them, as it had
killed a few of them before they could push it back into the forest.
 
Now with the masked man badly hurt, and without his left arm, he knew he wasn’t
strong enough to continue this fight, and that for now, the Tailed Beast was
out of his reach.
 
“You are worthy of your title, Fourth Hokage," acknowledge the masked man,
"injuring me so badly and separating the Nine Tails from me. But know this, one
day he willbe mine.” and as he said this, he used his own teleportation jutsu
to get away, and being injured, Minato couldn’t do much to stop him. But his
parting words sent chills down Minato, “One day I shallrule the world, there’s
so many other ways to do so.” And with that the masked man was gone.
 
‘Given his tone of voice, he isn’t joking around,’ Minato thought darkly, ‘one
day he’ll try and take over the world.’
 
But there was little he could do about this, he had to deal with Kyūbi. If he
didn’t do something about it, the Tail Beast would destroy the Leaf Village and
all its inhabitants. And if that happened, there would be no one to stop the
masked man when he finally returns, since there would have to be someone alive
to do so. After thinking about all this, he used the Flying Raijin to teleport
himself back to Hokage Rock, and to join the battle against the Nine Tails.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
As Minato got to the battlefield, his first thoughts were, ‘This is bad, real
bad.’ Things weren’t looking good, the village was severely damaged and would
take time to be fixed. There were a lot of dead bodies of people he knew, or
they were in the process of dying. Luckily though, there were a lot of minor
injuries and not everyone was fatally wounded. The only good thing that had
happened it seemed, was that the Tailed Beast was now outside the village, but
the main problem at the moment was that Nine Tail was about to let lose another
Tail Beast Ball from its mouth. To stop this, Minato summoned the Boss Toad,
Gamabunta, on top of the Nine Tails and jumped on top of Gamabunta head.
 
Once he appeared to save the villagers, he could hear that they were whilst
shocked, were quite happy to see him. But Minato was looking around the
village, the final words that the masked man told him kept going through his
mind, “But know this, one day he willbe mine.”
 
Minato couldn’t allow this to happen, he HAD to do something to prepare for
when he returns. The problem was that there was only one way he could think of,
something his wife wouldn’t like him for, but as the Hokage, he had to think
about his village not only his family. “Forgive me Kushina,” Minato said in the
air, before looking down to Gamabunta, “Gamabunta, I need you to hold the Nine
Tails down for a little bit longer.”
 
“I'll give it my best Minato," Gamabunta told his summoner, "but it's going to
tough, even for me.”
 
‘I need time to build up my chakra,’Minato thought to himself, as he build up
his chakra, ‘it’ll take a lot to teleport Kyūbi away from here.’Lucky though,
Minato needed only a twenty seconds to build up enough chakra to teleport the
Nine Tails to where his safehouse was.
 
But as he did this, Kyūbi let loose the Tail Beast Ball that it was forming and
the attack had hit the safehouse. There was nothing he could do about it. But
lucky for Minato though, Bull was able to teleport them out of the safehouse
mere seconds before the Tail Beast Ball had hit them.
 
“Thanks Bull, now I need to put up a barrier immediately.” Minato told Bull,
but stopped and thought to himself, ‘I don’t have much chakra left.’
 
“I can do it, Minato.” Kushina told her husband, she launched Adamantine
Sealing Chains from her body and into the ground, chaining the Nine Tails down
as well. The chains also sealed the Foxes power for a while, Kushina hoped that
they would last long enough so that Minato could seal Kyūbi back into her
before she dies. But as she did this, Bull sat on the ground with his legs
crossed, and put up his own sealing barriers to help her, so that there was
less stress on her to keep the Nine Tails from escaping.
 
“Kushina!” called out Minato. Kushina was on her hands and knees, coughing in
pain. She was using too much chakra and she was still recovering from
childbirth. At this point, Naruto and Naruko both woke up and started to cry.
“Woke you two up did I? I’m sorry Naruto and Naruko.” Kushina said softly.
 
“Kushina.” Minato whispered softly, worried about his wife.
 
“I’ll take Kyūbi with me to my death.” Kushina told her husband, “So that we
can delay the revival of the Nine Tails for a while. It's all I can manage now,
with the little chakra I have left. But I'll be able to save you three, that's
all that matters to me. So thank you, for everything that you have done for
me.”
 
“Kushina…” Minato said with a sad voice, “It was because of you, you’re the one
that made me the Fourth Hokage. You made me the man I am today. And you made me
a father of two beautiful children. And yet…”
 
“Oh Minato,” Kushina consoled her husband, “don’t give me that sad look of
yours. I... I’m happy, because you love me. And what’s more, today is the
birthday of our second beautiful child. But most of all, if I imagine me alive,
and our future, the four of us together as a family. I can't really picture us
anything but truly happy.” Here a few tears started to form in Minato’s eyes,
as his wife went on to say, “I guess if I was allowed one regret, I wish I
could see Naruto and Naruko all grown up, I wish I could see that.”
 
Kushina, there's no need for you to die, in order to kill the Nine Tails."
Minato told his wife, as tears were flowing down his face, "Preserve what
little chakra you have left to heal, so that you can teach Naruto and Naruko
what is needed.”
 
“Minato, what are you planning?” the redhead asked her husband.
 
“You’re too weak to become Kyūbi’s Jinchūriki again,” Minato told his wife, “so
I’m going to split Nine Tails power into two, and use the Eight Sign Seal to
make Naruto and Naruko its new Jinchūriki.”
 
“You can’t do that to them Minato, you have no idea what this’ll do to them
should anyone find out.” Kushina informed her husband, “It was only by luck
that I was able to hide what I was from everyone, if anyone found out that I
was a Jinchūriki. My life would have been so much different, worse than
anything that you can imagine.”
 
“That’s why you need to live, to make sure others don’t learn about it.” Minato
told his wife, “Allowing you to die with Kyūbi is strategically unwise. If you
die with the Nine Tails, there won't be a Jinchūriki around when he remerges.
There will be an upset in the balance of power between the Tailed Beasts. But
what’s more important than that… Is that you’d have died for nothing.”
 
“I don’t care about the upset in the balance,” his wife told him darkly, “you
have no idea what it’ll do to the children if you did this to them. Forget for
a moment that should everyone at the very least mistrust them, even hate them
should people learn about them being Jinchūriki. Their chakra will be harder to
control and master because of making them into a Jinchūriki at a young age.”
 
“There was a reason why they waited until I became a genin before they made me
a Jinchūriki, at least I would have the basic control over my chakra, and so my
chakra and Kyūbi’s chakra wouldn’t mix. By making them Jinchūriki as children,
their chakra will mix and make it harder to control and master.” Kushina tried
to make her husband see sense about all this, “You know that my clan’s chakra
is hard enough to control as it is because of how much we have. But adding Nine
Tails chakra before they have mastered their own, it’ll be even harder for
them. Please think about this.” Kushina begged her husband to reconsider.
 
“That’s why they’ll have you and Kazuo,” Minato told his wife, “so they’ll have
you to teach them and help them along the way.”
 
“Please, think about this,” Kushina begged her husband, “what you’re thinking
of doing will most likely make their life’s with full of hardships should
anyone learn about this. As a father, think about this, what kind of father
would do such a thing to their children willingly.”
 
“Yes I am a father, but I’m also the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf,” Minato told
his wife sadly, “it’s not like I want to do this to them. I reallydon’t want to
do this to them, and if I had any other option I wouldn’t do this to them. But
as the Hokage, I also need to think about the village too, since the founding
of this village, we always had a Jinchūriki which held the Nine Tails. Should
the other leaders of the other villages learn that we don’t have one, they
might see our village, our nation... as weak. They will try to take us over. We
need a Jinchūriki to keep the balance, not only with the power of the other
Tailed Beasts, but between our nations too.”
 
“Fuck the other Tailed Beasts, fuck the nations too,” Kushina spit at him. “I’m
a mother, I would rather see them all go to ash for all I care. All I care
about is if our children are safe and happy. I would even prefer to see
everything destroyed before seeing them hurt in anyway. I know if they decide
to become shinobi/kunoichi, their lives will be hard ones, and maybe short
ones. But it would be their choices, they would pick it... not me, not you, but
them.
 
“But I would nevermake it harder for them by making them Jinchūriki at such a
young age. It’s bad enough at the age I was when I become one, but I
willinglybecame a Jinchūriki knowing the effects that would come with it. But
you’re not willing to give the option to make that choice, you’re forcing it
upon them.”
 
“I know, and as I said, if I had any other option I would take it.” Minato
informed his wife, who like her, hated the idea of what he was going to do to
his children, but he had to think of not only of his own family. But for the
village as well, who as a Hokage, they too were his family and so, he needed to
look after them. “But there’s another reason as to why I’m doing this, do you
remember what Jiraiya told us, about the Child of Prophecy.”
 
“How is it that you were the one that was meant to save the shinobi world.”
Kushina reminded Minato, she didn’t believe in this prophecy, as she believed
that Jiraiya didn’t tell them everything about this so called prophecy, that
the Great Toad Sage from Mount Myōboku told Jiraiya about. Jiraiya told them
that sometime in the future, the shinobi world would be facing troubling times.
That someone or something would put the world into calamity, and that Minato
was the one who could save it. But Kushina suspected that there was more to it,
that Jiraiya lied about the full prophecy for some reason, and didn’t want the
full thing to be known. She felt as if it had to be something about the one who
would cause the calamity. It could be that the one within the prophecy would
either cause it, or save them from it.
 
“Yes and about the world being in upheaval, and all of the calamities that will
accompany it.” Minato told his wife seriously, “Now I've become convinced about
two things today. First, I think that the masked man attacked us today, will
surely one day bring catastrophe to this world. And second I think that the one
who'll save us, to stop him, is not me but this child, our own Naruto will save
us all. This infant, whose godfather is Master Jiraiya, will clear the way for
the future as a Jinchūriki, with Naruko next to him helping him.”
 
“But what if by doing this, making our children Jinchūriki, they are the ones
that create the calamity that the Toad Sage foretold?” Kushina countered,
worried by the fact that Minato would be making their children Jinchūriki and
the consequences could be what starts the the calamity that the Great Toad Sage
saw in his version, and that they were the ones that would destroy the world as
they knew it. She then went on with her concerns, “And what if the actions of
this masked man, was merely just the beginning? That by attacking us and
savagely taking the Nine Tails from me, and nearly killing me in the process,
we would be forced to make our children into a Jinchūriki, is the very thing
that’ll lead to the calamity that was foretold by the Toad Sage?”
 
“I know you are worried, but I don’t think you’re right.” Minato reassured his
wife, “I don’t why, but I can sense that Naruto is the one, the person who’ll
protect the world and create a better future. I just know it. He is our child
after all, why wouldn’t I believe in him?” Minato finished cheekily.
 
Kushina couldn’t believe it, her foolish husband was going to condemn their
children for sake of a gut feeling, she just simply couldn’t believe it. He
most likely believed that the villagers would see them as heroes, and so, treat
them as such, but she knew differently. Unlike her who was in fact a Jinchūriki
and knew what she was talking about, her husband had no idea of the fear of
someone discovering what she was, the fear that they would turn against her,
people hating her because she was a Jinchūriki, the prison warden for Kyūbi.
 
She had been lucky to hide what she was… who she was keeping inside her.  But
she knew that if people found out what she was, they wouldn’t care that she was
keeping them safe by keeping Kyūbi within her, all they would see of her would
be the Nine Tails and not its warden. She had heard how bad things could get
from other villages that had a Jinchūriki, and she didn’t want the same thing
to happen to their children.
 
Then a thought came to her, and so she asked, “How are you going to split the
Nine Tails power to make them into Jinchūriki?”
 
“I’m going to use Reaper Death Seal, it’s the only way to do this.” Minato told
his wife simply, as he performed the sign seals for the Reaper Death Seal,
knowing that his wife would try and stop him.
 
“What? Why?” Kushina exclaimed in shock at what he was doing, “Why sacrifice
yourself? Sacrifice our children to a possible hardship? Why burden them so
heavily? With something that could hurt them, have people look at them in fear
and disgust, make people hate them and believe they shouldn’t be alive. All to
simply maintain the balance between the Tail Beasts? For the sake of the
country? For our village? There's no reason to sacrifice Naruto and Naruko for
that!”
 
“Forsaking one's nation, and abandoning one village… it's the same as
abandoning one's own child.” The Fourth Hokage attempted to explain his
reasoning for what he was doing, “Your should understand, since your very own
homeland was destroyed. You know how harsh life can be for someone without a
nation.”
 
“But my nation was destroyed because people feared that we were too powerful,
this is something different entirely.” Kushina tried to explain, “Let me take
in the Kyūbi again and allow me to die with it. So that our children do not
have to carry such a burden as being Jinchūriki.”
 
But Minato didn’t seem to hear her, as he went on to say, “Besides, we're a
family of shinobi, we are born to serve and die our nation and village.
Finally, even if I did live, I could never be a substitute to you, you are
their mother. They need you more than they do me, especially Naruko.”
 
Then as he bent down to pick up his children who were now back to sleep, he
said, “I'll die for my children, it is my duty as their father.”
 
“Damn you Fourth Hokage!”they heard Kyūbi sneer out as Minato summoned the
Ritual Altar and female Scroll Toad, Akane, which was pink and mint green with
dark markings around her eyes and mouth, and a circular mark just below her
mouth. As a scroll toad, her abdomen can extend to reveal a scroll which whilst
concealed, gives her the appearance of wearing an obi.
 
Akane was shocked at first until her summoner informed her what was going on,
as Minato sealed the first half of the Tailed Beast Yin chakra into his
daughter. There was nothing Kyūbi could do about this, as the chains made it
hard for the fox to move, so when its power was cut in half, it also shrank in
half of his normal size.
 
‘Damn it, another Ritual Altar!’ Kyūbi cursed as it saw Minato summon another
Ritual Altar and Scroll Toad, a male one named Gerotora, this one was black and
orange instead of pink and mint green. ‘He's planning to seal the rest of me in
the other baby.’
 
But before Minato could seal the rest of Kyūbi into his son, he heard Kushina
cough as she tried to get closer. But because she was running low on chakra,
and in pain from childbirth, she couldn’t move far. Minato then called out,
“Kushina, are you okay!?
 
But as he did this, seeing that the chains were loose enough for Kyūbi to move,
it went in to strike, and it cried out “HE’S MINE!”
 
But faster than a blink of the eye, both Minato and Kushina were in front of
the attack, even with Kushina in pain, and had one of Kyūbi’s claw speared into
them. But in turn, they had saved their new-born son from being killed. “I said
I was his father, dying for him is my duty.” Minato told his redheaded wife.
 
“Yes, but I'm his mother, so it's my duty too.” Kushina told her husband.
 
“Why you!”sneered the Nine Tails darkly, unhappy he wasn’t able to kill the
child.
 
“I think this is the first time I lost an argument,” Kushina joked in pain. “I
guess this just proves how serious you about doing this.”
 
“Thank you Kushina.” Minato thanked his wife. Kushina was in too much pain to
correct him, it’s not that she wanted this, but seeing that they were about to
die, there wasn’t anything she could do to stop this. She couldn’t seal the fox
back into her like she wanted, so this was the only option left to her. But she
did have another, to tell him to behave and a few words about how to act in the
future, and about gaining friends he trusted and do well in school, and about
money. After she was done, Minato sealed Kyūbi’s Yang chakra within Naruto.
 
With the Nine Tails sealed within the children, the claw within them
disappeared and Bull quickly drop the barrier, which allowed those who were on
the other side to run up to the Fourth Hokage and his family. These people were
Kazuo, Lord Hiruzen and a few trusted ANBU. Kazuo ran up to his daughter first,
to make sure she was okay as the former Hokage went to check if the Fourth
Hokage was okay. As Kazuo healed his daughter the best he could, Kushina
whispered what happened, and asked her father to get her children out of the
village, so that they could lead normal lives where no one knew about them.
Kazuo knew that as long as Kushina could get some more chakra into her soon,
she would be fine, as their Bloodline of healing would kick in and she would
heal herself, but without it, she would be dead in hours.
 
However, before he could help his daughter, Kazuo had to get his grandchildren
out of there, even if his daughter dies, this was something she wanted. But
because of fighting the Nine Tail earlier, and trying to break down the barrier
too, he was low on chakra and could only teleport one child to one of his
safehouses that he had not far out of the village.
 
Once placing a medical jutsu to place his daughter in a state animated stasis,
to keep her from getting worse, Kazuo picked up Naruko, who was the closest to
him, he looked at them and said, “Listen, we don’t know where this masked man
gone, or if he is returning or not, so I think it would be for the best that I
take Naruto and Naruko to one of my safehouses that has someone ready to keep
them safe until we get this sorted.” This was true, Kazuo was a shinobi, so
whilst he hoped for the best outcome to his missions, he also prepared for the
worse should something goes wrong and had to hide for a while until the heat is
gone. And knowing the risks of his daughter giving birth, and that someone
mightone day try and use it against Kushina, so he prepared a place and someone
he trusted to protect his family should the worse comes to the worse.
 
Thinking that nothing was wrong, Hiruzen said “You’re right Lord Kazuo, it is
best that they are taken somewhere safe.”
 
“I’ll be back in a few minutes, I don’t have enough chakra to take both of them
at the same time.” Kazuo informed the others, hoping that Minato in the state
he was in would not realize what was going on.
 
Oh how much Kazuo want to kill the man for what he done to his grandchildren,
sure his clan use children to become Jinchūriki but never, no never new-borns,
not even at times at this. His clan would use those who had become genin or
someone holder, to become the new Jinchūriki. Making one as young as this was
monstrous, and something he would never thought of doing. As the child’s chakra
would be out of sorts, and hard to control and master, whilst not impossible
for a new-born not to be affected by the side-effects, it was rare. If they
did, it would take much longer for a child to master and control their powers.
 
“I understand, I’ll make sure that young Naruto is safe until you come back.”
the former Hokage informed Kazuo, who with a puff of smoke was gone.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
 
Once Kazuo was gone, Minato coughed and told Hiruzen, “Lord Third stop, both
you and I know that I’m done for, it is only matter of time before I’m dead.”
 
“My boy, I have to try.” the former Hokage told Minato.
 
“Don’t waste any time, save your power you’ll need it for when Kazuo returns.”
Minato informed him.
 
“What do you mean?” asked Hiruzen.
 
So Minato explained the best he could about what happened, how he split Kyūbi’s
chakra and how he placed both halves into his children and in doing so making
them the new Jinchūriki Nine Tails. He went on to explain about how his wife
was against this, and most likely asked her father to take them away from the
village, to protect them from anyone who might use or hurt them.
 
“So for the village, you need to keep Naruto here.” Minato told Hiruzen,
“Should the other villages learn that we don’t have a Nine Tail Jinchūriki,
they might attack the Land of Fire.”
 
As much as he hated to admit it, the Fourth Hokage was right, whilst he wanted
Naruto to be with his family, the village needed him too. As one of the reasons
that the Land of Fire haven’t been attacked often since the last Shinobi War,
was because of the fear that they might use their Jinchūriki against them. To
lose that fact, was only asking for trouble, something Land of Fire didn’t need
right now. As people see them as weak, because the Land of Fire is considered
as a peaceful land, so without a Jinchūriki, they could be openly attacked.
 
But there was one problem, and so asked Minato, “Whilst I don’t like, I can
admit that we need a Jinchūriki, but how can we stop Kazuo, he is the active
Uzukage of the Hidden Village of the Whirlpool. Whilst we can stop him tonight
seeing he is as weak as us, what about the future once he regains his strength,
what is stopping him then?”
 
“You should use the Banishment Jutsu that I created,” Minato informed Hiruzen,
“if you use that, it’ll keep him from being able to re-enter the village.”
 
“That’s a Forbidden Jutsu,” the former Hokage told Minato, “as anyone other
than the caster removes the seal from the person, the person would die within a
year or so of the seal being removed.”
 
“I know and that’s why it’s the only way to keep Kazuo at bay for a while,”
explained Minato, “he’ll want to look after and train Naruko, so you would have
time to prepare for when he returns to get Naruto. By which time, you should be
ready for anything that he might throw at you. And remember, with an Uzumaki,
there’s no such thing as overkill when it comes to that Clan. Even if there is
only one of them, one Uzumaki can make more problems than a group, and take out
a small village or army alone.”
 
Hiruzen had to admit this jutsu was the only thing that would stop Kazuo from
taking Naruto from them, and give them time to set something up in the future
to stop Kazuo or Naruko from taking Naruto from them. And Minato was right,
there was no such thing as overkill with the Uzumaki, a signal Uzumaki could
easily take out a small village or army alone. And that same moment though,
Minato died knowing that the village would be protected for a little bit
longer.
 
Before anything else could say anything else about this, Kazuo reappeared and
so the ANBU went around the former Hokage. Making sure that Minato couldn’t get
to his son.
 
“Lord Hiruzen, what is going on here?” asked Kazuo, “I need to get Naruto
somewhere safe.”
 
“I understand, but we can’t allow you to do it.” Hiruzen told him behind the
ANBU, as he gave Naruto to one of them and begun to walk forward, “Minato told
me what happened, and whilst I don’t fully agree with it all, I do understand
why he done it. If we don’t have the Kyūbi Jinchūriki, the Land of Fire could
very will be attacked, which we could not allow.”
 
“Hiruzen you old fool, this is my grandchild, I have every right to look after
him.” Kazuo told Hiruzen, “I’m the only one who can train him, especially after
my fool of a son-in-law turned him into a Jinchūriki. Thanks to that, I could
be the only one able to help master and control his chakra, otherwise it could
be in his mid-teens if ever before he learns to master and control his chakra.
If you do this, you’ll be making his life in a living hell.”
 
“I’m sorry to say that if that means the protection of Land of Fire and the
Hidden Village, so be it.” the former Hokage said seriously, “You should know
this as well as me, seeing that you lead your own Hidden Village.”
 
“Yes I understand,” admitted Kazuo, “but unlike you it would seem, I wouldn’t
use a newborn or a child who wasn’t a genin.”
 
“Under a different situation neither would I,” acknowledge Hiruzen, “but with
the situation as it is, I have no other option to do this. We’ll have to do
what we do to protect our Village and Land. And as weak as you are, you don’t
have the strength to fight and get him. So don’t be a fool and fight us.”
 
Kazuo sighed as he realized that Hiruzen was right, he was in no right fitness
to fight right now, he could do only one option, and that is to make sure he
could save his daughter and Naruto’s and Naruko’s mother. As this way he could
at least have her protect her son, so knowing that if this didn’t work, he
could come back enough time to save his grandson. And if it did work, he could
bring Naruko back to her mother in a few years once he trained his
granddaughter, to make sure no one could use her again.
 
“If you won’t let me take him with me, allow me to save his mother.” Kazuo told
Hiruzen, “Allow me save her, so that I know that Naruto will be loved and
protected for and trained in my clans ways. At least Kushina can teach him how
to control and master his chakra, she’ll be the only one who can thanks to her
foolish husband. Allow my grandson, have one person I know who’ll love and care
for him, should people find out that he is a Jinchūriki.”
 
“What do you have in mind?” asked the former Hokage, who was interested in
saving Kushina’s if it meant that Naruto would have at least one living parent,
and someone who would love, care, train and protect him no matter what. And
should people find out about him being a Jinchūriki, someone would be there for
him whilst everyone might hate him.
 
“I’m thinking of using Spirit of Altruism Jutsu on one of the dying, to
transfer their life force and chakra into Kushina.” Kazuo to Hiruzen.
 
“That’s a Forbidden Medical Jutsu that has been banned to use for years now.”
the former Hokage said in shock, as he couldn’t believe that Kazuo would want
to use such a jutsu, “As it was used on too many innocent people in the past,
so it had a powerful seal on the scroll it was on, so that no one can open
other than a Hokage. I’m sorry, but I can’t allow it to be used, not even for
your daughter. Too many lives were taken because of this jutsu, and I swore
that it would not be used ever again.”
 
“But this is different…” begun Kazuo, but was stopped by Hiruzen, “It makes no
difference Kazuo,” Hiruzen explained softly, “if I use this, it’ll be the start
of the fall, as others well want to use it for others and so someone who
shouldn’t could relearn the jutsu and misuse it again. So no, I can’t have the
jutsu open, no matter what. I’m sorry.”
 
“But without it, she’ll be stuck in my stasis jutsu forever, stuck to look that
for good.” explained Kazuo, “Whilst I have been able to heal her injuries,
without the life force and chakra, Kushina will be dead within half an hour to
an hour.”
 
“I’m sorry Lord Kazuo, I truly am, but I won’t change my mind.” apologized
Hiruzen, “But as I said, if I allow you to use the jutsu, everyone else would
want it and who knows what will happen. I promise you that we’ll try everything
to help her, but I won’t be using the Spirit of Altruism Jutsu.”
 
Kazuo was angry, he didn’t ask for much whilst in this village, and he even
helped with missions too. But now he was asking something back, they wouldn’t
be willing to help him. Not only that, they were keeping him away from his
grandson. If he had the strength, he would fight them over that, but for now
though he had to admit defeat and hope that things don’t Naruto will be fine
until he finds a way to get his grandson back.
 
“You better look after my daughter and grandson,” warned Kazuo, “as if
something happens to them, your village will be going down be going down and
nothing will stop me.”
 
“I know, and which is why I’m sorry for this.” Hiruzen apologized as he gives
the ANBU to cast a few jutsu that hold Kazuo in place, as done the hand signals
for a jutsu and said, “Banishment Jutsu: Exile!” And with that he placed the
pram of his hand onto Kazuo’s forehead, where a seal appeared, a star within a
sun.
 
“You bastard, what have you done to me!” Kazuo shouted in anger.
 
“I’m sorry Kazuo, but this is for the best for the village and our land.”
Hiruzen apologized sadly, “We need the Jinchūriki here, and we can’t have you
take him away. If there was any other way, I would take it, but I don’t. So you
know, you have an hour to leave this village, or the seal will kill you. And
don’t bother trying to remove the seal yourself, if anyone other than I remove
it, you’ll die within a year or so of it being removed.”
 
“What!?” Kazuo shouted as he tried to lunge himself at the former Hokage as he
told him what he did. But he was held back the by the ANBU jutsu, and defeated
that he can’t do anything about it right now. “Fine you win, I’ll leave.” Kazuo
admitted defeat, before he warned them all, “But you willpay for this one day,
it won’t be soon, but it’ll be some time in the future, but your misdeeds of
this day will be paid, and you won’t like the outcome of it.”
 
And with that the ANBU released their jutsu from Kazuo, and the now banished
man left the village, but with payback on his mind. Payback that he’ll one day
give to Hiruzen, and anyone who would dare hurt his family. Once Kazuo was
gone, Bull asked, “Lord Hiruzen, what now?”
 
“Now we deal with our people, heal or bury them.” explained Hiruzen, as he and
the ANBU returned to the village to help with the survivors, and bury their
dead. After which, rebuild the damage of the attack of the Nine Tails.
 
                               To_be_Continued!
 
Author’s_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends the next chapter of my new
Naruto story, I would like to thank you for reading the story, and I hope that
you enjoyed it and if you did, could you spare a few minutes to leave a review.
If you leave a long review, could you do me two things: one is that you don’t
make it in a huge block, next if you make smaller blocks, could you put a space
between each paragraph.
 
You see I am a dyslexic, and I have problems when there’s big blocks of writing
or no space between paragraphs. So please, should you write long reviews,
please don’t do them in one huge block, and please put a space between each
paragraph. It'll be easier for me to read them.
 
I would like to thank jonathyn for beta reading this chapter, I hope that you
notice are much better this story is now. Or I hope it is lol. As I told him,
this is the first time in a long while since I was able to make a story above
the 10k words, and as I told him: I often find the perfect end around the 7k or
below words. Anything above that, I ever can't find the right words to make it
up to 10k or it doesn't look right for that chapter. Which is is why I finish
my chapters around the 7k or below mark. So if you don't see another 10k+
chapter for a while, you now know why.
 
Now before we go farther, the last poll is closed for this story, and it says
that Naruto is older: 66 said make him older, and 34 said keep him the same as
the show. Now I have a new poll for you, and that’s about turning three of the
characters into females: should I do it or not? The three are Itachi, Gaara and
Sasuke. You’ll have until next chapter to decide the outcome of this. You have
three options: make, don’t make or make both Itachi and Sasuke females. You
might only need to use two of your three votes depending on what you vote.
 
Yes make Sasuke a female.
No don’t make Sasuke a female.
Yes make Gaara a female.
No don’t make Gaara a female.
Make Itachi a female.
No don’t make Itachi a female.
Make both Itachi and Sasuke females.
 
Was reading Uchiha Heiress Remix and saw the word ki once or twice, and once I
looked it up, I got interested. Whilst not part of Naruto, I was thinking of
using Chi/Ki in my story, so that those who can't, Rock Lee, and those can, use
chakra or fight against those who use chakra, the samurai, could have ki as
long as they train in using it. What are your thoughts about this?
 
Whilst I'm thinking of using Rin as a harem member, I have a slight problem of
coming up with a reason as to why she would return from the 'dead' either her
death was faked, or she really was killed. I need a reason for her to return.
So if any of you might have any ideas, I would like to hear them.
 
As you might have guessed, I’m planning to have Naruto’s Grandfather return a
year before Naruto’s third attempt in becoming a Genin. At which point Kazuo
learns about how the Village is treating his grandson, and so takes it upon
himself to train Naruto, and teach him how to control and master his Chakra. So
I would like a few ideas as to how the training goes. I want Naruto to become a
Seal Master, at least be good in them. So if you know and fics that can help me
please let me know.
 
I have another idea that goes one above, during his training with his
Grandfather, they go into the forest out of the way of the Villagers. During
the first few weeks/months, Naruto meets up with someone who he hasn’t seen
since he saved her from some bullies, Hinata. Over the first few meetings,
Hinata normal way when she is around Naruto, she either faints or runs away.
After talking to his Grandfather, and learning one of the reasons that Hinata
was running away from him or fainting, is because she seems to like him. So to
help her to get rid of her shyness, Kazuo suggest or Naruto comes up with the
idea of giving Hinata a mask. With the mask, with a letter saying that if she
wanted to talk to Naruto, she could wear it and pretend to be someone else.
 
At first I was thinking that Hinata wasn’t sure about the mask, as she wasn’t
sure if she could do it. But over the next few days, Hinata debated with
herself if she should go with Naruto’s idea of the mask. Whilst she might be
able to do it, if she could, she could slowly gain the confidence and self
esteem to face her family and become stronger in her own rights.
 
I was thinking that during this time, as she was training to become stronger,
Naruto could use the new identity Hinata, to corrupt her. I was thinking that
without the mask she was the same as before, shy towards Naruto and have low
confidence and self esteem, but with the mask she was someone different and
would be able to do what she couldn’t without it.
 
What are your thoughts of this idea, and how could I make it better or change
it.
 
***** Chapter 3: Aftermath - Part 1. *****
Author’s_Note: Before we start the next chapter, I would like to say that
whilst it might seem that Naruto might be a bit of out of character, there is a
reason for it. In almost every anime I can think of, Naruto and My Hero
Academia, two top of mind, each of our heroes,want nothing more but to be
either the next Hokage or the next All Mighty. But yet before they get their
training, or powers given to them, they don’t train fuck all to get to this
point or with Naruto not that I have seen. They just hope it’ll happen and do
very little to get on their own.
 
So whilst Naruto can’t learn Jutsu on his own, seeing how dangerous it can be,
and that he is more of hands on type of person instead of reading he’ll have a
few problems until someone helps him. But before he starts The Academy, he’ll
be training to make his body stronger at the very least, so he wouldn’t be as
weak as I see him before he passes the Academy. So whilst he might not be
powerful when it comes to chakra power at the start, he’ll be at least somewhat
powerful physically. Not too strong, but at least able to defend himself well
enough. He’ll still do pranks, and won’t be at least book smart as everyone
else, seeing that he would rather be doing things than reading seeing that he
is a kinesthetic learner, but he’ll be smart in his own way.
 
So I’m looking for fanfiction where he has trainers who knows he is kinesthetic
learner, and so they teach him the right because of this. Any and all stories
that you can think of that can help me, I would like to hear them, as it’ll
help me write this story better.
 
Now before we begin the next chapter, the last poll is closed for this story,
and here are the votes for which male characters should become female. So you
know, if you didn’t want one of them to become female, you should have voted.
As I said, unless you can give me a good reason for not to make it happen, the
final votes are that FINAL! I did give you the chance to have a say.
 
Yes make Sasuke a female: (Reviews: 8) Votes: 40
No don’t make Sasuke a female: (Reviews: 6) Votes: 16
Yes make Gaara a female: (Reviews: 9) Votes: 74
No don’t make Gaara a female: (Reviews: 4) Votes: 17
Make Itachi a female: (Reviews: 6) Votes: 35
No don’t make Itachi a female: (Reviews: 5) Votes: 17
Make both Itachi and Sasuke females: (Reviews: 2) Votes: 59
 
So from now on Itachi will now be known as Izumi, whilst Sasuke be known as
Satsuki. I need help with a female name for Gaara, if any of you got any ideas,
I would love to hear them. Possible Sora unless you lot can think of a better
name.
                                        
                                Chapter_Three.
 
                             (Aftermath_-_Part_1.)
 
11th of October 1900 - Land of Fire, Hidden Leaf Village, Hokage’s Office:
 
It was afternoon after the attack on the Hidden Village by Kyūbi, and the Third
Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was in his former office meeting up with the Ninja
Council, to talk about the night before. The Ninja Council was formed of the
Elders, Danzō Shimura, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, along with the Heads
of the Four Noble Clans, Aburame Clan, Akimichi Clan, Hyūga Clan and the Uchiha
Clan.
 
The Ninja Council was formed shortly after the last Shinobi World War. Third
Hokage realized that before he was forced step down as Hokage, things was
getting a bit too much. He was making mistakes, mistakes he thought if he had
others to help other than the Elders of the Village, he wouldn’t have made in
the first place. So he formed the Ninja Council, so that he and future Hokage
would have others to help them make the decisions needed, be it right or wrong
ones. At least they would have more options to go with, and hopefully do a
better then he did.
 
The Head of the Aburame Clan, was Shibi Aburame, in fact he only became the new
head this morning, when they learned that his father and the former Head of the
Aburame Clan was killed during the attack the night before. The Clan is known
for at birth, the members of this clan are offered to several special breed of
insects as a nest, residing just under their host's body, acting as human hives
for the insects. These insects will then live in symbiosis with their host from
that point on. Because of this, its members are characterised by their use of
insects as weapons.
 
Now Shibi, like all members of his clan, has his eyes obscured by dark glasses
which feature a single tassel hanging down from one-side. He has very spiky
short black hair and a thin moustache. He was wearing a high collared outfit,
hiding the fact that some of the insects like wader out if their host and his
choice of clothes prevent everyone from freaking out. It would seem that like
his father, Shibi keep his hands in his pockets, usual Aburame trait they have.
 
Next was the Akimichi Clan, they are known for their techniques revolving
around the manipulation of their body weight and size through the use of Yang
Release. They even have their own Food Pills, convert excess fat into chakra,
at the cost of one's health. It is also said that because of their techniques,
it is rumoured that they would always have to be overweight, otherwise they
can't use the Clan's Techniques. Now their Clan Leader was, Chōza, who like
Shibi was appointed to the Head of the Clan, that morning when his and former
Head of their Clan was killed in the attack from night before.
 
Chōza Akimichi is a tall, plump man with long, spiky red hair and purple
markings on his cheeks - with the latter being a common trait in the Akimichi
clan. He wears a samurai like outfit which entails a black suit completed with
armour that has the kanji for "food" on it. He also wears a rope belt, hand-
guards, and instead of a forehead protector - a hachimaki tied around his head.
 
The next Clan was the Hyūga Clan, the members born into this clan possess the
Byakugan, a kekkei genkai that gives them extended fields of vision and the
ability to see through solid objects and even the chakra circulatory system,
amongst other things. Members of this clan also possess the unique ability to
expel chakra from any of the tenketsu in their body. They are considered to be
one of the most powerful Clans in the Hidden Leaf Village.
 
The Clan Leader was Houzu Hyūga, who unlike the other Clan Leaders so far, was
the current Leader for the last forty years, he is a man of short stature with
long, grey hair that reaches down to his back, and like all members of his
clan, he possesses featureless white eyes. He was wearing the traditional robes
which consist of a loose fitting kimono that is held closed with a simple sash
under a brown, waist length haori.
 
The last Clan Member was the Uchiha Clan, who was the oldest of the Clan's
there, as they were the ones that helped to found the Hidden Village decades
ago. They were reputed to be the village's strongest because of their Sharingan
and natural battle prowess, more so than the Hyūga Clan. Sadly after helping to
form the village, the Uchiha grew increasingly isolated from the village's
affairs, something the Third Hokage was trying to change. It didn't help with
them being mistrusted by many because of the Clan's past and how they get their
most powerful skills, to embracing hatred.
 
Now the Clan Leader for a few years, was Fugaku Uchiha, who apart for being
Clan Leader, also lead the Konoha Military Police Force. Fugaku had short,
brown hair that reached to his shoulders and onyx-coloured eyes, with visible
creases below them made more pronounced whenever he adopted a stern look. He
was wearing the standard flak jacket, along with a black shirt with the Konoha
Military Police Force symbol on the shoulders, shin-guards and a black, open-
front apron with white diamonds on the bottom.
 
“Before we begin this meeting, let's give a few moments of silence to our
fallen.” Began the Third Hokage, as the group give a few moments of silence to
our fallen, after watch he asked, “Do we know how many are dead from last
night's attack or how much damage was done?”
 
“Not of yet,” Lord Hyūga told the acting Hokage, “we’re still clearing the
ruined buildings, so far we have about two hundred villages and ninja dead. The
villages are severely damaged and will take time and money to rebuild the homes
and districts that Kyūbi destroyed.”
 
Hiruzen sighed at this, whilst they had enough jobs coming in to keep the
village running, but now with how damage the village seemed to be. They didn’t
have the work coming in to fix the damage to the village, to do so, they would
have to charge more for their jobs and take give little less pay to those who
are doing the jobs to get the village fixed up.
 
“I know that we might have a situation when it comes to fixing the village, but
I might have a way to help with fixing the village.” Lord Sarutobi began to
explain, “Whilst some might not like it, until we get the village fixed, we’ll
have charge more for the jobs we do. And we’ll have to give little less pay to
those who are doing the jobs.”
 
“Lord Third, you do know that there’ll be an outcry about this?” asked Aburame,
who didn’t like the idea, but could understand why it had to be done.
 
“That I do Lord Aburame,” admitted the acting Hokage, “but until we have a
better way to rebuild the village, it has to be like this for a while.”
 
“I might have a suggestion,” Danzō spoke out, “some of the more wealthiest of
the villagers came to me saying that they are happy to help us out.”
 
“But for a price, right?” asked Houzu.
 
“Of course, Lord Hyūga,” Danzō admitted dully, as if this was something they
should all suspected anyway, “we don’t do things for free. So why should they?”
 
As much as he hated it, Hiruzen had to sigh as he admitted that Danzō was
right, they couldn’t demand them to give money to the village without giving
something back. “So what do they wanting parting with their money?” asked
Hiruzen, not sure if he was going to like the answer to this, and he wouldn’t.
 
“To be part of the council, so that they have a say as to what happens to the
money and a say in happens to the civilian life of things in the village.”
explained Danzō.
 
“But there’s never been a civilian on the council since the village was
founded.” The Third Hokage told Danzō, “This village is a ninja village and
should be run by shinobi and kunoichi. As they know better how to deal with
other ninjas better than a civilian ever could.”
 
“That is true and I’ll admit that’s how it should be,” admitted Danzō, allow
with everyone else agreeing, “but the civilians don’t mind that either. But
what they do mind about is that we also have a say in how the non-ninja
situations are run, and that’s what is a lot of them is unhappy about. They
want a voice within the council, someone to look out for them. To stop a Civil
War from happening, I would say we allow a few, six at most to join council.”
 
Hiruzen knew this was long time coming, for a long time the civilians of the
world who won’t born with chakra, resented those who did have it. At first it
was okay, they had those looking after them, but then came about the Shinobi
Wars, where those who had no power was caught up in them. So over time ninja
was despised by the fact they had power and that the civilians did not, ninja
were blamed for the outcome for many things, and thought that without them, the
world would be a better please. Even some shinobi and kunoichi thought the
same. So it was no surprise that the civilians wanted a voice, but he didn’t
think it was the right thing to do, as they would get in the way of things.
 
Whilst Danzō was right, to stop a Civil War from happening they would need to
have a few civilians on the council, the Third was against the idea. As it
always been a ninja council, and it should stay like it, as there were some
things that civilians know, or tell them how to run things. But times were
changing and knew that he would have to change with them, so with a sigh he
said, “I’ll give it some thought, but don’t expect me to agree with it, as this
is a Ninja Village and so should be run by shinobi and kunoichi. But I can see
your point too, so until we get a new Hokage, we’ll let things be, and let
whoever the new Hokage deal with it.”
 
“Lord Third, whilst I agree that the village should be run by the ninja council
only, we need to do something to stop a Civil War from happening with the
civilians.” said Koharu Utatane, the other elder in the room. Her grey hair was
pulled back in a twin bun locked by a traditional Japanese hair pin with two
pearls dangling off the side, and tassels were added to the other end. She also
had long beaded earrings, and was wearing a simple long kimono, closed by an
obi, a jacket, and a slash over it. Koharu was squinting at everyone like she
normally does, as she barely opened her eyes at any point in time.
 
What those there didn't know was that adding civilians onto the council, was
part of Danzō’s plan to take over the village. He knew that it would take time
and would need others help to make it happen, the civilians would be his main
problem. As until he got into power, whilst they had no power they make up in
sheer number of people, and all they needed was one lucky hit or knowledge in
fighting, and they could defeat a ninja with a good fight and luck.
 
So until he got where he wanted, he would need the civilians on his side, and
once he was in power, Danzō would get rid of the weak and the useless of the
civilians. There was another reason he wanted a few civilians on the on the
council, to keep whoever the next Hokage is busy, and so that when it comes to
a vote which he thinks is important to succeed or fail, he could use them to
make it happen. For now they were just pawns in the bigger game he was playing.
 
“This wouldn’t be a problem if you allowed the Konoha Military Police Force
fight instead of dealing with the civilians, you wouldn’t be having this
problem.” Fugaku Uchiha told the Hokage darkly, not happy with the fact that
his Police Force was forced out of the fight.
 
“And that brings us back to the point of today's meeting, that last night's
attack.” Third told them all, before admitting to the Uchiha Leader, “As much
as I hate to admit it, it is you clans past that stopped you from the attack
Lord Uchiha.”
 
“What has my Clan’s past got to do with it?” Uchiha sneered angrily.
 
“It has everything to do with it Lord Uchiha,” explained Hiruzen told him,
“whilst your name didn’t come up, we had a report of a masked man controlling
the Tailed Beast. And what Clan has that kind of power?” He asked rhetorically,
“Whilst we didn’t know if anyone in your Clan was responsible or not, we
couldn’t risk it, or risk them joining whoever was controlling the Kyūbi. So
instead of keeping you out of it altogether, I had Danzō protecting the
villagers.”
 
Uchiha wasn’t happy with the answer, whilst he couldn’t deny it, his Clan did
have a bad reputation because of Madara Uchiha doing what happened the night
before. But that didn’t mean anyone this his Clan responsible for what happened
the night before. But he could see why the Hokage did it, even if he was
insulted that the man would think they would do such a thing. Sure they had
their problems with the man and the village, but they would not risk their own
like whoever was controlling the Tailed Beast the night before.
 
Not only that though, should his wife every found out that people knew that her
friend was a Jinchūriki and tried to kill her to get the Nine Tails, will they
would be having a slow painful death. Kushina and Mikoto were best of friends,
should you hurt the other, well may Kami have mercy on your souls, as they sure
would not. In the last few years, their daughters Naruko and Izumi have been
playmates since they were born, and the mothers got even closer because of it.
They were more like sisters than best friends.
 
Now whilst it was an open secret that each of the Great Five Nations had at
least one Jinchūriki, what was not known was who that Jinchūriki was. For the
safety for that Jinchūriki, unless they got into battle and used their powers,
the identity of the individual was considered as a S-Class Secret. Revealing
who the Jinchūriki was unless needed to know or revealed in battle, or the
Jinchūriki tells someone themselves, had the penalty of death.
 
There were only two reasons that Fugaku and Mikoto knew that Kushina was a
Jinchūriki, the first reason was that Kushina told them she was one. And
informed them that they couldn’t tell anyone unless they and those they told
wanted to die because of it being a S-Class Secret. The only reason was that if
it wasn’t for Kushina telling him, was that when he became a member of the new
Ninja Council, they were told about who the Jinchūriki was. Only because the
Third Hokage wanted help to protect her should anyone find out what she was.
Knowing what his wife would do to him, or those in their Clan should Kushina be
found out she was a Jinchūriki, he had no problems keeping it a secret. He
would prefer death by Hokage should he ever tell anyone, as death by his wife’s
hand wasn’t something he wanted at all. He felt sorry for whoever did this
should his wife found out who did this to her sister.
 
“You do understand how everyone is going to see this don’t you Lord Third?”
Fugaku asked the acting Hokage darkly, “As we won’t part of the main attack
force, defending the village, they’ll think that we were part of the attack.”
 
“Just tell them that I had Danzō have you looking after the villagers, just in
case the Nine Tails attacks the settlers.” the acting Hokage told him, giving
him a cover story to use.
 
“Like that well make them believe that.” sneered Fugaku, not liking this one
bit.
 
“I’ll back that story up if asked, if that isn’t enough, I’m sorry Lord
Uchiha.” apologised Hiruzen, there was so much he can do without everyone know
it was possible that it was someone in the Uchiha Clan was behind last night's
attack.
 
“I do have a question though Lord Third.” Shibi acknowledged, “If it wasn’t
Lord Uchiha telling someone in his Clan about who the Jinchūriki,” at this
Fugaku give a sneer and a dark look towards the bug man, “as far as we know no
one outside this Council knew that Kushina was a Jinchūriki. And seeing that
this is a S-Class secret, with the penalty of death, it is unlikely we would
say anything to anyone else. Now you may not like it Lord Uchiha, but as much
as you hate to admit it your Clan has the means and the opportunity to do
this.”
 
“I wouldn’t say anything to my Clan,” Fugaku informed darkly at his Clan being
accused of the attack, “if my wife ever found out that about it, she would
slowly and painfully kill me and whoever done it for killing her best friend
and sister.”
 
“How would your wife know about Kushina?” asked Chōza, which everyone wanted to
know, as they were worried that if she knew about it, anyone could have learnt
about it.
 
“Because Kushina told us herself, as my wife and her got so close, Kushina
decided to inform both of us. Well mainly Mikoto, but as I was her husband, she
told me too.” the Uchiha Clan Leader informed them all, resting some of their
fears, “Anyway, what would our motive be for controlling the Nine Tails?”
 
“The past,” Danzō informed them, “as they say some wounds can't heal. There
could be some of your Clan who can't forget the past and decided to use Kyūbi
to destroy the Hidden Village. It is possible that whilst you might not have
told anyone who the Jinchūriki is, they found out another way and so freed and
controlled the Tailed Beast last night.”
 
As much as he hated to admit it, Fugaku some of his Clan couldn't forgive the
past Hokage for how he treated the Clan. Whilst he and the others tried to live
and let live and not allow their Curseto control them, there were a few who
want payback on the Village for the past. “In that case I'll begin a full
investigation to find out who it was, and if it was a member of my Clan,
they'll be punished accordingly.”
 
“I have no problems with that Lord Uchiha,” acknowledged Hiruzen, “but if or
when you find them, I would like my ANBU Investigation Team question them. We
need to know how they found out about Kushina, who they told about her and what
else they found out and told about it.”
 
Fugaku had no problem with that, as whoever did this done more harm than good
to the Clan. He and other Clan Leaders had tried for a long time to make a
better reputation for their Clan, but this one action done a lot of harm to
their work setting them back a long while. Fugaku didn’t know if they could
come back from this and might have to go down another path. “As long it is
painful and you give them back so my wife can deal with them, you can question
them.” Fugaku informed the acting Hokage, knowing that the village should be
protected, and was upset that his wife’s best friend was killed.
 
Lord Third only nodded at this, to acknowledge he would do this, Houzu Hyūga
asked, “So what happened with Lord Fourth and his family?”
 
Here the Third Hokage knew he had to be careful as to what was said here, as he
said, “As you know Lord Fourth was killed by the Tailed Beast. Whilst not
killed, Kushina was placed in a medical animated stasis, that until we find a
way to help her, she’ll remain there until we can help her.”
 
“What happened to her?” asked Fugaku, wanting to be able to tell his wife what
happened to her sister.
 
“Apart from being exhausted from children breath and the Nine Tails severely
hurting her, she also had a severe case of Chakra Exhaustion.” explained
Hiruzen, “Not only because of trying to keep the Nine Tails within her, but
been forced to defend herself. After her father healed what he could, Kazuo
placed his daughter under an animated stasis jutsu. As she Chakra Exhaustion,
and so her healing ability wasn’t working as it would and unless there was a
way to give her a huge chakra transfer, it wouldn’t able to heal her.”
 
“Can’t we use one of the Chakra Transfer Jutsu to give her what she needs?”
asked Shibi.
 
“Sadly no,” the acting Hokage half-lied, “as there aren’t many people who can
do the Chakra Transfer Jutsu. And those who could, if they tried, they would
have been killed and most likely Kushina still wouldn’t been healed. As you all
know, Kushina has a huge chakra reserve, more so than anyone else in her Clan
and more than anyone in this village. And add to the fact of all the chakra she
was getting from Kyūbi, she would need a lot more chakra than any other person
to survive. So until we find some way to help her, she’ll have to remain in the
animated stasis jutsu.”
 
None of them knew what to say to this, not even Fugaku, so instead he asked,
“What about Naruko and Kushina’s unborn child, what happened to them?”
 
Seeing no need to lie about this, at least not inform them about Naruko, the
acting Hokage said, “Naruko was taken by her grandfather to a safehouse, and
Kazuo is banished from ever coming back to the village.”
 
“What way?” asked Houzu, shocked to hear this, he was one of the most respected
shinobi in the village.
 
“Because he wanted to take Naruto from the village, and not to return him Lord
Hyūga.” explained Hiruzen.
 
“What’s wrong with that?” asked Chōza, “It’s not like there’s anything to keep
them here, and it is Kazuo’s right to do so. He’s not a Leaf shinobi, he could
take his grandchildren away if he wanted.”
 
“What I’m about to tell you all Lord Akimichi, is now considered a S-Class
secret.” explained Hiruzen sincerely, “For the Fourth Hokage to defeat the
Tailed Beast, he had to seal it into Naruto, making his son the next Jinchūriki
for the Nine Tails. And as you know, for Land of Fire, or one of the other four
key Elemental Nations, having at a Jinchūriki in their Hidden Village, is a
sign of strength and a deterrent for the smaller villages from attacking us. If
Kazuo took his grandson away, and the other villages learnt that there’s no
longer a Jinchūriki in the Hidden Village of that Nation. It would be a sign
calling out to say come on and attack us.
 
“And whilst we might be able to defend against the weaker villages that don’t
have a Jinchūriki, what about those who do have one, or ally themselves to a
village that as one. They would attack in full force and there would be nothing
in stopping them, but with our own Jinchūriki here, they would have second
thoughts about attacking us.”
 
As much as most of them hated to admit, and would prefer Naruto to be with his
family, they also saw how important it was for the new-born boy to be in the
village. Whilst a handful see Naruto as nothing more as a tool now, and would
love nothing more as a tool, the others see him a new-born who had been dealt a
bad hand. And saw him as someone was keeping them from going to war, something
none of them wanted. They also knew that whilst the Clan Leaders at the very
least see him as a Warden keeping the Tailed Beast locked up, most of their own
Clan and Villager would see him as Kyūbi Reborn. So it was a good thing that
this was considered as a S-Class secret.
 
“I have to ask, what is stopping Kazuo from returning and taking Naruto from
the village one day?” the Aburame Clan Leader asked.
 
“Seeing he was a risk to the Hidden Village, I was forced to use a Forbidden
Banishment Jutsu that Lord Fourth created.” explained the Third Hokage, “So
unless I undo the seal myself, he would die within a year. So seeing that he
has to look after his granddaughter for the time being, it’ll be a few years
until he’ll try something. Which by that time I hope we’ll be ready for
whatever he does, and able to stop him.”
 
“So what is going to happen to the young boy?” asked Fugaku, as he knew that if
he didn’t at least ask his wife would give him hell. “Mikoto and I will more
than happy to take him in, in fact Mikoto would insist in taking him seeing how
close she and Kushina were.”
 
“I’m sorry but that won’t be possible,” this came from Danzō, “we don’t know if
one of your Clan was behind this attack or not. And if they were, we don’t know
how they found out if you didn’t tell anyone about Kushina. So until we know
fully how the attack happened, and until who is behind it and who helped, it
would be unwise for anyone to have the boy, especially your Clan.”
 
Fugaku was about to protest a Danzo’s decision when Hiruzen stops the Uchiha
Clan Head. “I’m sorry Lord Uchiha, until the investigation is done, I have to
agree with Danzō.” Hiruzen unhappily agreeing with Danzō.
 
“Fine.” sneered Fugaku, not liking this one bit and upset they would think he
was behind this when he had done everything in his power to keep peace between
his Clan and the Village. “But you are the ones going to explain it to Mikoto
when she wants to know why she can’t adopt her best friend’s son.”
 
“So what is going to happen to the child?” asked Houzu.
 
“For now Lord Hyūga, he’ll be placed into the orphanage where he’ll be raised
there.” the acting Hokage informed them. “But will be on discreet surveillance
by one of my trusted ANBU, knowing that most of the village do not see things
our way.”
 
“You do know people will want to adopt him as soon as they find out that he’s
the son of Lord Fourth?” Shibi pointed out to the Third Hokage.
 
“I do, which is why I’m making it a S-Class secret to who Naruto’s parents
are,” Hiruzen informed them all, “as just before he died, Lord Fourth told me
via shadow clone that he wants his child to have a normal childhood. So from
here on out, he’ll be known as Naruto Uzumaki.”
 
There was many of an outcry by the Clan Leaders, hating the fact they were been
forced to hide the identity of Naruto's parents, and mostly his birth right.
Its something all four of the Clan Heads could agree with, whilst Namikaze
wasn’t a Clan, he was the Fourth Hokage and Minato was Naruto’s father,
something that shouldn’t be hidden. Not only that, but the Uzumaki was an old
Clan, one that help build the Leaf Village, and rumoured to be related from
Legendary Senju clan. It wasn’t something to hide away, Naruto had the rights
to know about his ancestors and what they did for the Hidden Village, and what
happened to his Clan.
 
“Come on, you don’t think people will realize who he is just by that name?”
Chōza asked sceptically.
 
“And why should we hide who his parents were?” asked Houzu.
 
“First off, as to why to hide who Naruto’s parents are, that’s because of who
his mother and father is,” the acting Hokage inform them, “as not only because
he was the Fourth Hokage, but his actions during the last Shinobi World War. As
for his mother, because of her Clan and her abilities. They both made many
enemies, and although now dead, they’ll want to pay Naruto back for the sins of
the father and mother. So it is for the best that he doesn’t know who they are,
until he is older to be informed, or should he become a shinobi, until he
becomes a chūnin.”
 
As much as they hated to admit it, that did make some sense, for that moment
they did forget about the Fourth’s enemies. So it made sense that Naruto waited
to learn about his family, as it made sense in a way.
 
The Third Hokage went on to say, “As for people know who he is because of a
name, that is easily explained off. As you know, it is common practice to name
orphans with no known family name, the name of people or Clan who are well
respected. So we just tell people we named him after Kushina or the Uzumaki
Clan if they ask.”
 
Whilst they didn’t like the idea of hiding Naruto’s identity, they could see
why it would happen, and a way to explain away that he wasn’t the Fourth’s son.
For the child’s protection, it was better this way. Anyway, with nothing else
to say, Houzu asked, “Do you know who’s going to become the Fifth Hokage now
that Lord Fourth is dead?”
 
“No, Lord Hyūga,” admitted Hiruzen, “but after this meeting, me and the Elders
are heading for Entei to talk to the Daimyo to talk about it.” Entei was the
capital of Land of Fire, it was a huge city, with a huge torch in the centre of
with a huge flame burning from it, and decorated with statues of Guardian Lions
by the City’s gates and the Daimyo’s castle. “So if there’s nothing else for
today, I’ll declare this meeting adjourned.”
 
There was nothing else to say at the moment, they all still had to deal with
the aftermath the attack night before. Trying to find out who is dead, and
finding any survivors if there was any. Once they knew the full effect of the
attack, they would meet with the new Hokage to talk about it all, and what to
do next. Once they done that, they left as Hiruzen and the Elders got ready to
meet the Feudal Lord at Entei.
 
                                    o0OoO0o
20th of November 1900 - Land of Fire, Kaho Village:
 
It has been over a month since Kazuo left the Hidden Leaf Village with his
Granddaughter Naruko, during his time his thoughts were slowly going down a
darker path more than normal. It all started when his Clan and homeland was
destroyed, by three of the of the Great Five Elemental Nations, along with a
few of the smaller villages helping them. He even suspected someone in the Land
of Fire, mainly someone in the Hidden Leaf Village, he suspected Danzō. He lost
everything from that night, not only his Clan and homeland, but his wife and
two of his children, and he wanted nothing more than take revenge on those who
was responsible for it.
 
The only thing that stopped him from doing anything, was his daughter Kushina.
He didn’t want to leave her without a father, and than over time she got
married to Minato and had Naruko and life was good for a while. But than last
month, when his daughter was giving birth to his second grandchild Naruto. But
that’s when everything went to hell, his daughter was attacked by a masked man,
who wanted to release Kyūbi from her. He was able to do this and controlled it.
 
He didn’t know who it was, but he did know that it was someone with the
Mangekyō Sharingan, as that was the only way to control a Tailed Beast. Now
most would think that it was someone within the Uchiha Clan, as they were the
only known Clan within the Elemental Nations that had the Sharingan. But he
knew differently, as far as he knew no one in the Uchiha Clan had the evolved
version of the Sharingan.
 
Not only that, but there was an Uchiha Clan outside of the Elemental Nations,
one that moved out of the Elemental Nations when Madara Uchiha tried to destroy
the Hidden Leaf Village all those years ago. They now go by some name, to hide
their relations with the Uchiha Clan in the Elemental Nations, and don’t use
their Sharingan. Whilst unlikely, it was possible that one of them was behind
the attack, he would have to look into that.
 
But with the attack of the Nine Tails, he lost almost everything, all he got
left was Naruko. The damn Leaf Village now took almost everything that he had
was taken from him, thanks to Minato and Hiruzen. Both of them for keeping him
from his daughter and his new-born grandson. All because they didn’t want to
use a Forbidden Jutsu to save his daughter, as it would kill someone. It wasn’t
like he was going to kill anyone healthy, but those who were dying from the
attack, so that their death would have some meaning.
 
Not only that, but thanks to his asshole of son in law, as he told the Third
Hokage to stop him from taking his grandson and disappear. As Minato wanted the
Village to keep a Jinchūriki, to use him as a deterrent to stop others from
attacking them, like some kind of animal, waiting to be broken and tamed. Now
normally he would go back in a few days once he regained his strength and show
them the old rule in the old days before his homeland and Clan was destroyed:
Don’t Fuck With A Uzumaki.
 
But they got him when he was weak and used a Banishment Jutsu that he and
Minato created and was classed as a Forbidden Jutsu. The Jutsu would place a
seal on the person and would stop them from re-entering the Village. But that’s
not why it had become a Forbidden Jutsu, it was because should anyone other
than the person who cast it remove, the person would die with a year or so. But
because he needed to take care of his granddaughter, he couldn’t do anything to
help his grandson.
 
But that didn’t mean that he wouldn’t stop thinking about his grandson, oh no,
the old Uzushiokage won’t stand for this. No, he was a man who had lost
everything, he homeland, his family, his Clan, and now his daughter and new-
born grandson. ‘No more…’was his thought these days, he wasn’t going to allow
no one to take more from him, no he’ll make those who took from him pay… no
matter what.
 
But it’ll take a while until Naruko was older and well trained, but once she
was old enough, he’ll help her become strong and have her help him rebuild the
Uzumaki Clan. First, find the remaining Uzumaki within the Elemental Nations,
and when the time was right, get Naruto and Kushina back, and have the three
rebuild the Land of Whirlpools. As by this time, he’ll be dead or dying, as
he’ll be the one to get his grandson and daughter back. They were his family,
and other than Naruko, he and her should be the only one to rescue grandson/
brother and daughter/mother.
 
But those were plans for the future, for now he had to look after the baby
Naruko, who was sleeping in her baby basket right now, something that Kazuo was
happy about. Over the last month had been hard for the young girl, she lost her
father, mother and her new-born brother. She woke up often crying for her mummy
and wondering where the rest of the family. He didn’t know what to tell her,
sure he could lie to the girl, but Kazuo believed she deserved to know the
truth and so told her the truth the best he could.
 
Now he felt somewhat awful, but he was going to use this to make her help him
take revenge on those who hurt him and her. He knew it was wrong to use his
granddaughter in such a way, but part of him, the dark part of him that has
awoken, knew that it was needed. As he couldn’t do this by himself, and it was
something both him and her needed, to have some closer to what happened and
done to them. But he will make sure that she’ll be happy, and treated will and
go for nothing, also no one or nothing will hurt her or use her like he was
doing.
 
Whilst in Kaho, he realized that he had to leave the Land of Fire, and the
shinobi and kunoichi of the Hidden Leaf Village would be spying/keeping an eye
on them whilst they were in this nation. So within the next few weeks he and
Naruko will leave Land of Fire, and go to one of the other nations closest to
it, so that he could keep an ear out and learn what he could.
 
He had a few in mind, ones that none of those in the Hidden Leaf Village would
think of looking for there, as they had Hidden Villages that helped to destroy
his homeland and Clan. So they wouldn’t suspect him of all people to go there,
and they better pray that they should never they find him. As it might be the
last thing that they might ever do, as whilst they might not have done anything
to them, the village did. And he’ll make the Village pay, and nothing and no
one will get in his way, he’ll make the Leaf Village hurt as it hurt him. The
only person who’ll not get hurt should they find him was Naruto.
 
For now, Kazuo to prepare to leave the Land of Fire, and had little time to do
so. As within the next few weeks, he and Naruko will no longer be there.

Author’s_Note_-_PLEASE_READ_TO_THE_END: Here ends the next chapter of my Naruto
story, I would like to thank you for reading the story, and I hope that you
enjoyed it and if you did, could you spare a few minutes to leave a review. If
you leave a long review, could you do me two things: one is that you don’t make
it in a huge block, next if you make smaller blocks, could you put a space
between each paragraph. Now I hope I done good with explain why there a group
Ninja Council instead of a few people and give a reason as to why there's going
to be civilians on it. Let me know.
 
The chapter is shorter than I had planned it for, as I have got writer's block
to what I want to happen to Kazuo and Naruko, and so I would like your help
with and ideas you might have to write the next chapter. Now the original idea
was for Kazuo working with work with Orochimaru, to give his grandchildren the
power ups. But I was talking to someone who has making me rethink it:
 
Orochimaru betrayed the village after the Kyūbi’s attack and did lots of
things. Working for Akatsuki, experimenting on people and killing those that
didn't survive or show worth. I get his purpose in an Overlord fic as useful,
but he does not serve as an ally to anyone. He only wants to help himself and
would sooner kill the grandfather and take Naruko under his wing for his
purpose before working alongside him.
 
They said I could use Orochimaru as a foil to Konoha and let the Uzumaki do
their own thing. Danzo kept in constant contact and worked with Orochimaru
besides, so I don't want that. The grandkids already have the power ups they
need, they just need discipline and training to use what they have.
 
They also said that Orochimaru is a sucker for Jutsu theft and the old man has
a lot of Sealing apparently nobody has seen. And Orochimaru is trying to create
a Slave seal through his Cursed Seal... So how isn't that useful to Orochimaru?
And while the grandpa has no qualms with hurting people, he is a sucker for
family backing family. Orochimaru has no qualms about killing families to get
something he wants, like say Karin's mother because Karin had a Healing Power
and was a pureblood Uzumaki?
 
The thing is I was after Kazuo using Orochimaru to get the Snake Summoner
research and use his lab, but after hearing what was said, I need to rethink
things. I still want Kazuo getting Orochimaru’s research, as I want them for
the Wood Release research, and the research of bring the dead back to life. So
I would like your help for ideas how the two could work together, so I could
use the idea still. I would like ideas not only how they could work together,
but if they do, what would happen over the years.
 
If you can or cannot think of a way for Kazuo to work with Orochimaru, I would
like you ideas for research/experiments that Orochimaru is working on. I would
like to hear all sorts of ideas, and some detail to them. As I want to use
Orochimaru a bit if I can, and so I would like him to have more research and
experiments he can have. Either way I’m BEGGING for help here, whilst I got the
future chapters planned, I have NO idea how to do the next part with Kazuo and
where to go with it. I want to show a bit of what happens with him, and how he
rises his granddaughter, and for that I need ideas which I don’t have at the
moment.
 
I’m sorry for the long notes, I got a review saying that they stopped reading
because of them, but as I said to them, I’m new to the Naruto world, and so I
need help which is why I do these long ones. If you don’t like them I am sorry,
but I’m hoping that this will be the last chapter for them. I’m not saying they
won’t happen again, but I’m hoping they won’t be as often like every chapter
like they have been so far. Only when I need to do them.
 
There has been one or two of you wanted Naruto to stay at his original age, if
you wanted that, you should have voted. I put up the votes for two reasons, one
is to help me decide where to go when I am in two minds about where to go
within the story. The second reason is connected to the first reason, I want to
hear what my readers want within the story. Whilst it is my story to do as I
wish, I do take in what my readers want into consideration and if I like it put
it into my story. As for my votes, unless you give me a good reason why it
shouldn’t happen, for example, plot or another good reason, I’ll be going with
the monetary of the votes. So when there is a vote and you want something to
happen, like not wanting Naruto to be older, or one of the male characters not
to be female, then you should have vote against it in the first place. Don’t
complain afterwards that you want it changed when the votes are in.
 
Lastly, I need help with three things, both related to Naruto becoming the
Overlord. The first is that I want ideas for Forbidden Jutsu that he could
learn once he becomes the Overlord, I need hand singles, names of the Jutsu
(English version names please,) and what they do and how they would look like
once cast.
 
The next is how would Naruto meet the minions, this been the main problem since
I remembered that the Third Hokage has the crystal ball that he uses to spy on
people. I got one idea, and that’s for Naruto to steal the damn thing at the
same time as he steals the Seal Scroll, but I would like other ideas too.
 
And last is that I’m planning to have five minions instead of four, one hive
for each of the five main element countries: Earth, Fire, Wind, Water and
Lightning. Whilst I’ll be using the original minions for the Lands of Earth,
Fire, Wind and Water, but I need an idea for the minions from the Land of
Lightning, what they look like and what their powers are.
