Child of the Kitsune
Prologue

They only have been married for a year. During that year a lot of things have happened. For one Minato had finally told her how he had felt about her. It was also the night that they had made love for the first time. This happened as the war ended and the young man that she saw as a wimp became a war hero.

Two months later would see the two get married. Hiruzen Sarutobi did the wedding while Tsunade Senju, and Jiraiya Namikaze were there as their witnesses. When Minato found out about whom his parents really were he was of course mad at them thinking that they had abandon him.

It was Tsunade that had to explain to him that while she did want to raise and care for him, she was needed on the battle field, somehow that only made things worst. Tsunade again explained to him that she did not want her child to become an orphan.

Minato claimed down long enough to let that information set in. She had protected him by giving him up to the orphanage. It made sense somewhat, it would have saved him from his parents enemies while at the same time prevented him from both becoming a war orphan and a target.

This had bought tears to her eyes as she remembered that her mother had died during the start of the third shinobi war. Her father haven been killed when Kumo had tried to kidnap her.

Several months have passed after that and Kushina Uzumaki (secretly Namikaze) was teaching at the Ninja academy. At first she wanted to be a Jounin instructor but after talking with Minato about starting a family Kushina had decided that it would be better to start teaching at the school. Especially since Minato was going to become the next Hokage.

It was something that they both had dreamed of becoming but in the end Kushina smiled and told her husband that she believes in him. Minato had one the most votes, and at the age of twenty one Minato Namikaze became the youngest Hokage to be appointed as the Village leader.

It's hard to believe that it had all happened within one year. Of course since Kushina and Minato been married they have been trying hard to conceive a child but after a year they had begun to get worried. Kushina's biggest fear was that she couldn't get pregnant as long as she was the host of the nine tails fox.

The one day Kushina had woken open and was feeling ill, she had ran to the bathroom to empty of stomach. Minato was of course worried and had asked her what was wrong. Kushina had said nothing as she sat back and was breathing heavy.

Neither one of them had noticed the blood that was in the vomit as Kushina flushed it down the drain. This had been going on for a few days before Kushina said the hell with it and had made an appointment to go see Tsunade.

The stomach pains were getting worst by the day and Kushina had often woken up to severe pain that she had curled up into a ball and had started crying. Something was wrong and she needed help ASAP. Even now as she walked it was painful for her and she had to stop several times just to try and stop the pain.

Once she had reached the hospital she went straight to the front desk. "I…I have an appointment….with Lad...y Tsu…" Kushina didn't finish as she had fallen unconscious. Needless to say the front of the hospital was in chaos as they had to hurry and get her medical help fast.

The first thing that she had noticed was the white ceiling titles. The next thing she noticed was that her husband was sitting next to her with his head down. The thing she noticed was that her throat was very dry.

The door opened and Tsunade had walked in with a grim look on her face. "Oh Kami I'm dying aren't I?" Kushina asked in a dry voice. Tsunade smiled at her daughter in law and shook her head before she lost the smile. "I'm afraid it's much worst then that." Tsunade said as she sat next to Kushina.

She handed a cup of cold water to Kushina who slowly started to drink it. Tsunade sighed and looked at the young woman, what she was about to tell her was hard. "Kushina, you had a miscarriage." She said. Kushina eyes had widened.

This was news to her as it had told her that she was pregnant. Then the death of the baby she never got to hold, hit her hard. "No..." Kushina tried to say. "No, please tell me you were mistaken, please mom." Kushina was hyperventilating. This had cause Minato to wake up and grab hold of Kushina.

Tsunade wished she was wrong, but the sad truth didn't end there and what she was about to tell the young couple could ruin all hope for them. "That's not all." The two looked at Tsunade with fear. "Kushina, I'm afraid that you may not be able to bare children." Kushina was shocked.

Kushina placed a hand on her stomach. Then all of a sudden she started scream, not in pain but in loss, the loss of a family she will never be able to bear with Minato. The future she often dreamed about having with red or blond hair. Having strong ninja in the family and rebuilding the Uzumaki clan.

But now all of that was gone. It was all destroyed before it had the chance to become a reality. Kushina pushed Minato away and laid back down on her side. Minato sat on the side of the bed rubbing her back. "Leave me alone Minato." Kushina said in a cold voice, this had shocked Minato a little. He had only ever her use that voice once before, and it wasn't pretty.

"Minato, we should probably go. Kushina needs some rest." Tsunade said. Minato nodded with a sad look in his eyes, he wasn't sure what this is going to do to them, and he just hopped Kushina didn't do anything stupid.

As they left Minato could hear Kushina, his strong, Beautiful, and independent wife crying for the loss of the baby that they never got the chance to meet. "Remember that injury that she had gotten during the war?" Tsunade asked. Minato nodded. It was just after he had invented his most deadly attacks.

During the second Shinobi war, when he was a young teen Minato Saw an attack that Kushina did that gave him to ground bases for his Rasengan attack. It wasn't yet finished but he hopes to someday complete it. It was during an attack on Konoha that Kushina and Minato had fought together for the first time.

Minato had taken a hit that would have killed him if Kushina haven't pushed him out of the way. She had taken a hit to her waist line near the seal. The attack had also damaged her pelvis; however Kushina got back up and kicked the ever living shit out of the Kumo warrior that had attacked her and Minato.

Minato sighed. "Yeah, she took a hit for me." Minato said. They became friends shortly after Minato had saved her from Kumo. However Minato had always felt a connection with Kushina ever since the first day he met her. To Minato she was the most beautiful girl, teen, and young woman he had ever meet.

Even after they had started dating, Minato continued to believe that the young woman with red hair and the prettiest eyes that he had ever seen was an angel, but now his angel was in pain and there was nothing he could do to ease her pain.

Then there was the fact that she had, had a miscarriage. Their child the one that they had worked so hard to try to conceive only to lose the child, worst yet from what Tsunade had told him a few days ago, if Kushina was to carry the baby to term, it could have killed both Kushina and the baby.

Minato wanted to cry. He wanted to cry so badly that it hurt. However, he had to be strong for his village. He was the fourth Hokage, the leader of the Konoha ninja forces, he had no choice but to be strong, he could cry when he got home.

As he left the hospital Minato looked up to the window that held his wife. What he saw shocked him. Standing at the window was Kushina, even in a hospital rob she look so beautiful to him. But what shocked him the most was the tears that she had in her eyes as she turned away from the window. Minato for his part felt his own tears as he walked down the street back to the Hokage tower.

-Konoha, A month later.-

A month has past and by now everyone in the village had heard about the Namikaze family, or for a lack of better terms, the husband and wife. Many felt sorry for the young woman, who after shortly leaving the hospital had locked herself in the spear bedroom of their home.

Others on the other hand felt that Minato should devoice the young woman in favor of marrying someone that could bear children. Minato was so pissed by that that several members of the ninja force as well as Anbu had to hold Minato back from killing those people.

As for the young couple themselves, well things have not been the same. Kushina was not acting like her former self ever since that day. Minato was hardly home anymore, but when he was, Kushina would be locked away in her room. They hardly ever saw each other and when he saw her she was starting to become very thin.

Minato knew he had to be there for her but for the life of him he didn't know what the hell to do. No one he knew had ever gone through this sort of pain before, and it was breaking Minato's heart. His wife would even look at him, let alone make love to him. The closeness that the two had was slowly being destroyed and it was hurting Minato.

That wasn't the worst part. Somehow Kushina had developed a habit of getting drunk. Sometime Minato would come home only to find Kushina had too much to drink and would sometimes yell at him, blaming him for the problem of not being able to have children. It never got physical though and Kushina would often time apologies to Minato the next day.

"I don't blame you." Kushina said. "I would never blame you for what I did." She wasn't looking at him but he knew that she was being honest with him. "I did what anyone else would do. I protected my best friend and comrade from being killed." After putting her half eaten food in the trash and washing the dishes she turned to look at Minato.

"I still love you, but I can't be around you." Kushina said. Minato looked at her. "I can't bear you children; I can't rebuild the Uzumaki, or the Namikaze clan." Minato looked down. His voice was soft when he asked.

"Do you want a divorce?" He asked. Kushina looked at him. You could see the sadness in her eyes. "I don't know." She answered. "I'm useless, I can't bear children, I'm a wreak, and I'm an awful wife." Kushina said with tears in her eyes. "Why do you want to stay with me?" Minato got up and walked up to his wife, for the first time in nearly a month he took her in his arms.

"Because I love you, Kushina." Minato said. "I've loved you ever since I first set eyes on you." He said kissing her softly on the lips. "I don't care if we can't have children; there are other options, like adopting." Minato lifted Kushina's head making her look him in the eyes.

What she saw was his pain, as well as her pain, but she could clearly see the love that he held for her, the same love that she had for Minato. "You don't know how much it's killing me to see you like this?" Minato wasn't yelling at her, he could never yell at his angel. "I want my tomboyish wife back, I want the woman that gave me the courage to stand up to Iwa and tell them to "go fuck their mothers" back!"

Kushina could believe what she was hearing. "Kushina you're my heart and soul, it's killing me to see you that you're in this much pain and not letting me in to help you." Kushina grabbed his shirt and started crying into his chest. "You're not useless, you're my life line, if you die, then I would die with you." Minato wrapped her arms around her, to Minato she seemed smaller now, more fragile then he would care to admit.

It wasn't long that Kushina had fallen asleep holding Minato tightly with her hands. Minato gently picked her up and carried her to their bedroom and laid her down in the bed. Later today he would ask Hiruzen to take over for him as acting Hokage for a few days to help heal Kushina. Kami knows that she could use his support at this time.

As Minato thought this, he laid with his wife and held her as she slept. Rubbing her back he started to pray. It was something that he didn't do often given that he was still a ninja and could take a life at any time or order someone to do it for him.

Kami, I know I have not right to ask you of this, but please watch other Kushina, she is in so much pain right now, help her guild her into you healing light and help her heal. Please that all I ask. Minato soon fell asleep shortly after he sent his prayer.

-Unknown location-

"You wanted to see me mom?" Asked a teenage girl about sixteen to seventeen years of age. An older woman looked up from her paper work and smiled at her daughter one of many that she had over the many years. "Yes dear." She said.

The teen took a seat in front of her mother's desk. "I have a mission for you, but you can refuse if you so wished." The older woman said. The younger looked up. "As you know a young woman by the name of Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze had just lost a baby." The teen nodded.

"Kushina is the Jailer of Kurama." Again the younger woman nodded. "Wait are your serious?" She asked. "Kurama had been missing since that Uchiha bastard somehow gain control of him." The eldest of the two nodded. "Yes I am well aware of what had happened." The eldest said. "I also know that Mito Uzumaki had sealed him inside her."

The youngest looked mad. "Those damn humans, they don't know what the hell they are doing." The youngest yelled out. The eldest of the two gave the youngest a deadpan look. "Then maybe you should have thought about that before you slept with that young man." Her mother said.

"But Mom!" The Youngest cried out. "Don't 'but mom' me young lady." The eldest scolded her child. "That child you gave birth to was so powerful that the other gods and I had to spilt the baby into nine different beings, each of the animal spirts had to take one child as our own.' She said.

The youngest looked down. "It's not liked I had planned to get pregnant you know." She said. Her mother just looked at her. "In any case your son is locked up in young Kushina; this had caused some problems for her and is unable to give birth to any children." The youngest raised an eye brow. "But I thought that the cover story was that…"

Her mother cut her off with a rise of her hand. "In some cases it would have, however Kurama had fully healed her, the problem lies in the fact that because of this her womb is unable to bear children." The youngster looked at her mother ing confusion. Her mother sighed. "Kurama's chakra has poisoned young Kushina's womb."

"Oh, I know that." The young one said, causing her mother to sweat drop. "Kitsuna, want I have for you is this." Her mother said as she held up a glowing ball of energy. "Mother is that?" The older woman nodded. "This is the soul of the child that Kushina and her husband Minato had conceived." Kitsuna reached her hand out to the glowing ball of light. The ball touched her hand and she suddenly felt nothing but pure innocents.

"The child of Prophecy." She said softly. She could also tell that the child would have been born female as well. "But how, it was foretold that the child was going to be born male." The elder shrugged. "I'm not sure, I asked father about it before you had stopped by."

"And what did he say?" Kitsuna asked. The elder sighed and rubbed her forehead. "Father said and I quote 'It's a secret.' I think old age has finally gotten to him." Kitsuna shrugged. She studied the glowing soul in her hand. Right now it was small the size of a small pebble. It had a blight glow of blue and a little bit of red in it.

The blue part was from the soul's father while the red was from her mothers. Kitsuna sighed. "You want me to give birth to this child, don't you?" She asked. The eldest nodded. "Kitsuna, as you know I am the Goddess of Fertility, rice, and sake."

"And foxes." Kitsuna said with a smile. "And foxes." Her mother replied. "I cannot do this, but seeing as how you are still grounded..." Kitsuna gave her mother the puppy dog eye look. "Father thinks that you are best suited to carry the child to term."

Kitsuna sat in the chair still looking at the small soul. It was rare that a child would get another chance; once they had passed they would go to heaven to rest, however in a few very rare cases where if the child was important to the world the child would get a second chance at the life that they couldn't get the first time around.

"You said that I don't have to if I chose not to." Her mother nodded. "If I do this will my grounding be lifted?" She asked with a tilt of her head. "No." her mother said without missing a beat. "Damn." Kitsuna said as she looked at the glowing soul in her hand. Already this child had changed the course that was to follow.

First the sex of the child was supposed to be male, not female. Secondly, the child had died before she could have been born, and lastly thanks to her death, Minato and Kushina are now alive. 'I bet Botan was upset that Minato and Kushina escaped her grasp." Kitsuna said.

"She was a little pissed." Her mother said. "But then again she never did like the idea of dress up as a demon like being." Kitsuna nodded. Kitsuna studied the soul again. "How long do I have to carry her if I decide to take the case?" She asked.

"Not long." Her mother said. "Kushina is going to be living Konoha soon." Kitsuna blinked. "No she's not living Minato. However she feels that she should be stronger than she already is." Kitsuna looked at her mother. "You're planning something." She said.

Her mother smiled. "Yes, I was given permission, to let you heal Kushina womb if she agrees to turn over Kurama." She said. Kitsuna looked shocked. "Even if he was under a human control he should still answer for his crimes."

"But mother!" Kitsuna tried to protest. Raising her hand to stop her daughter she said. "It will not be as bad as you may think. Kitsuna you have to understand. Your children are a danger to that world." Kitsuna sighed. "I know that mother." She said as she looked down.

"I'll do it." She said. Her mother could only smile. "I knew you would baby." The little ball floated from Kitsuna's hand and entered Kitsuna's body. Already the young woman could feel the child growing within her.

-Konoha, a few days later.-

Minato had woken alone. He probably thought that Kushina was downstairs making breakfast, but when he got down there, he only saw a headband, a resignation form, and a letter written to him.

Minato,

By the time you get this I would have been long gone. I'm not leaving you, I know you must be confused so please continued reading honey. Lately I haven't been myself, I don't know if this is because I lost our child or what the villagers have been saying about me. I just don't know.

Minato, I have filled out a resignation form so that I wouldn't be declared nuke Nin by the council. Minato be cautious I have this feeling that they will try to pull something after they find out that I have left the village, and they will find out.

Minato, I believe that you can do this, you're smart and kind. You burn with the will of fire. You are the Hokage, not the council, do not take any bullshit from them, if you do and I find out that you did, I will kick your ass, you know?

Also keep an eye out for that snake Orochimaru, I don't trust him. I never had. Also try not to burn the place down with your cooking okay? I heard that there is a new ramen place that had just opened up. Remember that just because you're the Hokage doesn't mean that you cannot hang out with your friends.

I'm not going to tell you where I'm going so don't ask okay? Dear listen, I promise to send you weekly updates on how I am doing. Don't let the Council mark me as a nuke Nin, I will return when I feel that I am ready to I promise.

Aishiteru, my Koishii.

Kushina Uzumaki.

Minato don't know what to think. He didn't know how he even felt. He sat down in a chair and must have read the letter a hundred of times. He picked up the resignation form and looked it over. He reached for his pen and marked it approved.

-Konoha, an hour later.-

When Minato sat at his desk he filed the form after he had stamped it. He then called for a council meeting to let the people know that Kushina had left the village, not know that the council had made plans for this incase Kushina did decide to leave the village.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

-Village of Whirlpool, Land of Eddies, Six months later.-

For the last six months Kushina have been traveling the world. Unknown by most that she somehow became a spy for Konoha during her travels. Reporting back anything and everything that had she could to the one man who know who she was, Jiraiya.

Six months was a long time to be away from the person she loved, and a village that could barely stand her. Liked she had promised she had send a ton of letters, as well as reports. Minato had also send his letters as well, telling her how much he had missed her and wished that she would return home soon.

Kushina sat on a deck of a boat as it traveled to the island nation of Eddies, her former home that was destroyed sometime during the early stages of the second Shinobi war. One would thing that Kushina was nuts to return to the old destroyed nation, Kushina however knew that there where secrets that were kept locked away.

One of those secrets is the Uzumaki clan Library. A Library that was so huge that it put most of the clan libraries in Konoha to shame. It holdings held the knowledge, skills, and history to the Uzumaki clan, as well as a huge selection of scroll for jutsus, Kenjutsu, Fuinjutsu, and a bunch of other skills.

It was the Uzumaki Library that made the clan so powerful in its glory days. It had taken the combine strength of four great nations, and several of the smaller nations to attack Whirlpool, Whirlpool would have won if it wasn't for a powerful weapon that was set off in the middle of the village.

Thank Kami the weapon was never heard from again Kushina thought as she took a look at the blasting hole that the weapon had detonated from. Kushina looked around the ruins of her destroyed homeland. Nothing was standing and the ground was still covered in blood, having dried over the years.

Those that had survived the invasion were civilians; thankful before they left the village to go into hiding all over the elemental Nations they had been kind enough to bury the bodies of the dead, from both sides. If Konoha enemies ever made something like that again…we can kiss the village good-bye. Kushina bend down and ran her hand on an edge of the destroyed street. This feeling….could the weapon have been made with a bijuudama in mind? Kushina questioned herself, and like many times before she had gotten no answer. The blast was so powerful that we could see the mushroom cloud from Konoha, I never saw mama cry like that before.

Standing up Kushina made her way to the Uzumaki shine. It was a church of sorts where the clan would gather to pray for good fortune and that short of things, now though it was the resting place for the clan that was all but destroyed.

As she entered the old Uzumaki church, she looked up at the alter only to see a young woman with long snow white hair, piercing aqua blue eyes, but what made her stand out was three things. On the top of her head she had small fox or cat like ears; she also had three whiskers like marks on each of her cheeks.

But what had Kushina attention the most was the four fox like tails that where waving behind the young woman. She wore a blue kimono with pink cherry blossom petals, a slightly darker blue odobi (? See author notes) keeping the kimono closed.

"Welcome home Kushina." She said. "I am Kitsuna, the daughter of Inari." Kushina nodded. "I have a gift for you, please join me." Kitsuna said as she held out her hand to the side. Kushina joined the young woman as she sat on the floor, even after all that had happen the patting that was place on the floor for prayer was still soft to the touch.

Once Kushina was in front of her Kitsuna reach over to her side and picked up a small bundle. "It had saddened us greatly when we had her of this little ones passing before she had a chance to enjoy life." Kitsuna said as she handed the bundle to Kushina. "My Mother Inari felt that this little one needed another chance at life."

Kushina moved the blanket aside. What she saw shocked her. Inside the bundle was a very small baby, the baby had a small tuff of red hair, if you look closer you can see that it also had a mixture of yellow as well. While Kushina was looking at the baby's hair she noticed that the baby two had small fox like ears.

"Oh I forgot to tell you." Kitsuna said as she rubbed the back of her head. "She's not completely human I'm afraid." Kitsuna said. "So she's a hybrid?" Kitsuna nodded. "I was given the task of carrying her until she was to be born." She said. Kushina smiled and petting the top of the baby's head carefully.

"She is very beautiful." Kushina said looking at Kitsuna. "But I cannot take your child from you." Kitsuna smiled and looked at Kushina. "Kushina that child is not mine." Kitsuna said. "I carried her until birth, that's true, but she is by all means yours and Minato's unborn baby that had died in a miscarriage." Kushina looked at Kitsuna.

"Because, that child has an important future ahead of her." Kitsuna said. "I can't tell you though, or Mom will ground me some more probably until I'm a millennia year old or something." Kitsuna muttered. "In any case there something else that you should be aware of." Kitsuna said.

Kushina looked up and blinked. Kitsuna started petting the baby's soft hair. "Mother I mean the Goddess Inari would like me to tell you that she can restore your ability to have children, but you would have to give up Kurama, err I mean the Kyuubi."

Kushina had a shock look on her face. She placed her hands on her stomach. The ability to have children returned to her was something she had dreamed about. "But removing the Kyuubi would kill me." Kushina said. Kitsuna shook her head.

"No, I only need his body not his life force, or as you have come to know it by, chakra." Kitsuna said. "By leaving that you can still live and have a normal and happy life or the life as a female ninja." Kushina looked down at the baby who now had her eyes opened. They were the same color as Minato. An alluring blue in color that had attracted Kushina to Minato.

Kitsuna handed Kushina a bottle of warm milk to her to feed the small baby. "Why is she so quiet?" Kushina asked. "Don't know, she only a month old, and had only cried a few times." Kitsuna said. Kushina blinked. "Oh sorry, you see where I'm from time can either speed up or speed down." Kitsuna explained.

"You see shortly before you left Konoha I was given the assignment to carry and then give birth to the child, yes it's true the baby is only a month old, but I had also carried her to a full term in my home plane." Kushina nodded. 'It has sounded like you have done this before Lady Kitsuna." Kushina said.

'I have." Kitsuna said. "However I gave birth to a baby that was so powerful that the child had to be spilt into nine different children." Kitsuna then told Kushina her tell, how she had meet a young man and how they both fell in love. What Kitsuna was telling her made Kushina eyes widen. Before her was none other than the mother of the Bijuu and the wife of the Sage of Six Paths.

"You must hate human for what they did to your children." Kushina said. Kitsuna shook her head no. "No, well I did at first, but then I realized that human have and will always fear what they don't understand." Kitsuna said. "Even now I can feel some of your fear."

Kushina blushed a little at being caught. "Well I am in the presence of a Goddess." Kushina said. "Yep, Kitsuna Inari, Goddess first class, Second category Limited." Kitsuna said with a smile. "Grounded for almost accidently destroying the world." She finished with a blush. 'After I'm done being ground I'll be lucky if I can work the Hotline."

Kushina blinked in confusion. Kitsuna was serious at some point but could act like a teen at most. "So Kyuubi, umm I mean Kurama is one of your children?" Kushina asked. Kitsuna nodded. "He's been a bad little boy and need a good spanking." Kitsuna said. Kushina blinked when she suddenly hear a voice inside her cry out "MOM!"

"So what will happen to him?" Kushina asked. Kitsuna shrugged. "Most likely Grandfather will place a limiter on him and start training him in God school." Kushina for what seem like the billionth time that day blinked. "God school?"

"Working title, Grandfather been working on the name since day one." Kushina muttered something and sometime wondered if the Universe was really safe with the Gods and Goddess running the show. 'I will give Kurama back to you…" Kushina said. "But you must promise me that No harm will come to him, after all his life was a little unfair."

"I know." Kitsuna said. "I wish I could have been there from all nine of them." Kushina could see the sadness in her eyes. "Kurama was my baby." Kitsuna smiled. "After all oh could he not he is the baby of the pack."

"MOM!" There was that voice again. "You did well in not forcing his powers Kushina." Kitsuna Said. She had read Kushina's file while she was pregnant with the baby. Kushina nodded. "I know that he's not as evil as many people believed he is." Kushina smiled. "However he is very bad at playing chess." Kushina joked.

"Aww, shut up." Kushina now understood what that voice was. It was Kurama and he sounded sad for some reason. Kitsuna placed her hand on the seal that was placed on Kushina's stomach. Kushina titled her head as the young Goddess started chanting in a language she didn't understand. No sooner that she had finished that a blinding light hit Kushina eyes.

When Kushina could see again, she saw a young boy maybe no older than ten or twelve years old. He had snow white hair and dark red eyes. His whiskers like marks are a little darker than Kitsuna's own. Like Kitsuna he has Fox like ears and only one tail. Kushina blinked. "Where the hell is the rest of my tails?" The boy yelled out.

Kitsuna smiled. "I sealed then, until you are old enough to handle that much power." She told the child. "But mom!" The child cried out. Kitsuna smacked the back of his head. "Don't talk back to your mother young one." The boy Kushina assumed was Kurama crossed his arms and muttered something about old hags and their nagging.

He then looked at Kushina and looked down. "Kushina, I'm sorry about the baby." He said. "I forgot that my Chakra can lead to poisoning the body." Kushina got up and walked over to Kurama. She handed the small baby to Kitsuna, and then she hugged Kurama.

"I'm sorry that you were being used as a weapon." Kushina said. "Mito told me what Madara had done to you all those years ago. Kurama hugged her back. "I hate to cut this short." Kitsuna said. "But My time is up. Kushina it will take some time but your womb has been restored to the point that you can have children, just not yet." Kushina nodded as she took her baby back.

"Will I ever see you again?" Kushina asked. "I don't know but it is unlikely. I am still grounded." Kurama took his mother's hand. "Kurama has to answer of his crimes but he is still a child he may be able to return but again it is unlikely that he will." Kushina nodded. "One more thing. The child in your arms is not fully human; my DNA did get inside her and she has ended up part Goddess, when she reaches a certain age she will be given a set of limiters."

Kitsuna moved some of her hair to show Kushina. "They will limit her powers but she will still be stronger than a normal human." Again Kushina nodded. Both mother and son had started to vanish. "Train your daughter; she is very important to the safety of your world." Then the two of them were gone.

"Well Naru, How about we write to your father and tell him what happen?" Kushina said to the small baby. "Mew." The little one cried out causing Kushina to laugh a little.

To Be Continued….

Author notes:
Okay For thing first I want to get this out of the way. I don't know if the that waist wrap that goes with a Kimono is called an Odobi or Odabi It's hard to remember and I couldn't spell it So I'm sorry for that. Now we can get down to business.

Please read, this contains information that can help you understand this story. So the first part is the plot. The plot is simple and to the point. Kushina couldn't have children. I build this story based on that, and then I got to thinking, then why write a story without Naruto?

So I thought some more. That's where most of the plot for this story came from. And if you have not figured out by now, this is a rewrite. I figured the story wasn't going anywhere and I was having trouble writing the second chapter based on what I had with the first chapter.

It was hard and I kept putting the story off. Yes it's a little emoish at the start. I'm no Doctor, I just based things on what I read a few times I'm sorry to any of my female readers who probably feel offended by this.

Kushina maybe out of character I don't know since Kishimoto just focuses more on Minato rather than Naruto's mother. So I had to base her off of what I know from bother the Manga and Anime. At one point she is seen as an outsider by the village. But it's unknown if she gain any respect as time went on.

I want to make something cleared for those who have not read the Manga or watched the Anime Episode 246-249. Kushina's Mother is the one who had taught Minato fuinjutsu NOT Jiraiya or Kushina, (Mistranslation of Viz part.) I don't really know if Minato came up with the idea for the Rasengan after seeing Kushina (or any other host.) Use a Bijuudama. I know I read it somewhere just can't remember where. As you can probably tell I add some Oh My Goddess elements to the story, it's nothing big I just like the idea.

Now come the big one. I don't know the Sage's name if you can help with thank you will get a big bag of Virtual Cookies. Anyways Kitsuna is the mother of the ten tails, who as you read was extremely that it had to be spilt into nine children instead. Inari took Kurama while the other Gods and Goddess took the others.

Why were they on the planet then? Well that will be explained later in the story, but I want to make things perfectly clear. They are not demons. They will be Demi gods (Ironically this includes Naru) With Kurama being the Youngest and the most powerful.

Now Kurama being the youngest is something new (Probably) I'm tired of authors writing him as the eldest when in fact we don't really know if he is in fact the oldest. I mean really just because he has nine tails does not make him the oldest. (You're welcome to prove me wrong though.)

Anyways this thing is long enough and I'm tried this darn thing took me over three days to write. I hope you liked it look for chapter two sometime this week or early next week. Thank you for reading and I hope that you will review. Flames are not welcome and you will be reported if you do. Insults don't work on me and they will piss me off, and you will not like me if you piss me off.

Kidan out.
