Chapter 1

Drastic changes

Hurried foot steps echoed through the silent village, the group of civilians stormed down the streets searching for their quarry. The still night air rang with the cries of demon and murderer. Not far ahead of the oncoming group a lone blond haired boy dressed in a orange jumpsuit three sizes too big for him ran for his life tears streaming down his cheeks. He spun around, eyes open wide and filled with fear as he found himself cornered in a dead end.

"nowhere left to run know demon!" the man standing at the head of the mob sneered. Hoping to catch them by surprise Naruto charged forward trying to push past the mob. The first row was taken by surprise letting the boy slip throw, but his success was short lived. The other members of the mob grabbed a hold of his sleeves tossing him back against the wall, "It's time we finish what the fourth hokage started and get rid of this vermin." the one who spoke slowly approached naruto as he spoke cracking his knuckles his face a eerie sneer.

"no..stay back.. leave me alone!" naruto yelled kicking out at the man as he approached but fell silent as the man grabbed his leg giving him a clear view of the headband tied to his arm, marking him as a leaf ninja. The night air was filled with narutos screams of pain as the mob beat and cut him until he fell silent succumbing to the injuries.

The mob silently left the alley grim smiles on all their faces, a few sported mild bruises, a testimony to their fight with the demon they claimed. left behind lay the still body of the once lively naruto, his cloves in tatters, cuts coated his exposed skin and deep bruising marked the damage the mob had done to him internally, his blond hair matted with blood. the only thing keeping him alive was the final act of his parent, the seal containing the kyuubi slowly formed on his exposed stomach.

inside his mindscape naruto lay unconscious on the dank sewers water floating next to the giant bars containing his charge. a single glowing red eye watched the boys lifeless form slowly rocking on the water's surface, the boys chakra was fading fast. "I am sorry Minato, I have failed." the kyuubis voice was filled with regret. slowly a stream of orange chakra seeped through the cage bars and into the unconscious boy keeping him alive but his injuries were to sever to regenerate from the small amount of chakra that the seal let throw.

the kyuubi felt the fear and anger the village directed towards it and returned their hatred, with the exception of two. While bound inside Kushina Kurama had developed feelings for Minato Namikaze and in turn his son Naruto Uzumaki. Sitting upright the Kurama positioned its hands together forming the Boar seal, "it's come to this eh kit." the darkness that had shrouded the nine tails faded revealing her for the first time since being sealed. she watched the boy she had come to see as her own slowly succumbing to the wounds.

Closing her eyes Kurama started the jutsu, her last resort. She felt her body beginning to break down reverting to pure chakra, Minatos seal held her at bay but if her conscious were to fade the seal would have nothing to hold back and would break, giving naruto access to all her chakra, a Bijuu less jinchuuriki.

Kurama had come up with this jutsu while bound inside Kushina, a self sacrificing jutsu to save the first humans she had cared for since the old man's passing.

As her conscious faded and her chakra transferred to naruto's control, the seal keeping her at bay also started to be released no longer having a use. "Why?" opening her eyes Kurama found Minato standing before her dresses as he had been last time she saw him. as kind a smile as she could manage with her razor sharp teeth adorned her face.

"so you did seal your own chakra inside him with me. I guessed as much. I presume Kushina is in here somewhere as well?"

"I sealed my chakra so I could restore the seal should you manage to trick naruto into removing it." Kurama let her eyes slide closed again, "you know that I never wanted to attack the village I was content to sit and watch naruto grow up from within Kushina but the masked man got in my head with that cursed sharingan." Kurama's chakra flowed around naruto entering him at a steady rate dragging scraps of her conscious with it. "this is the first time something like this has been attempted so I don't know what the side effects will be but at least he will have the chance to live. he dreams of becoming hokage, just like you, just like kushina." Minato could just stand and watch in shock as the 'demon' fox melded with his son, healing his injuries.

"thank you." forming a series of quick seals minato used the last of his chakra to create a genjutsu seal to be released on the first one to see naruto, depicting the events that had befallen.

the leaf village shock as the kyuubis chakra flooded the air. Hiruzen sat in his office finishing paperwork for the years new genin graduates when he felt the kyuubi's chakra spike his pipe falling from his mouth in his surprise. "weasel!" in answer to his shout a ANBU wearing a weasel mask appeared kneeling before him.

"lord third." Hiruzen dropped his pointed hat onto his desk before removing his outer robe revealing his combat garb worn underneath.

"gather as many squads as you can and.." he fell silent as the Kyuubi's chakra subsided. deciding to keep things under wrap he started again. "get your two most trusted team members and meet me at the chakras source." the ANBU bowed before vanishing.

Arriving at the chakra's source they found a orange sphere resting in a pool of blood small wisps of orange chakra splitting off from it briefly taking the shape of a fox before rejoining the sphere.

Spreading out the three ANBU searched the area finding the tracks of the mob that had attacked naruto along with the remains of his clothing. "lord third this looks like Uzumaki's outfit." the ANBU wearing a cat mask held up the remains of naruto's orange jumpsuit.

A crack formed in the surface of the sphere attracting the attention of the hokage and his three ANBU guards. a single glowing red cat like eye stared out of it placing the hokage and the three ANBU accompanying him under a genjutsu all four of them moved to release the genjutsu but stopped as they felt Minatos chakra as the source of the jutsu.

ANBU weasel was the first to recover from the genjutsu not wanting to see the boys suffering, his sharingan visible through the eye slits of his mask. the sphere was gone leaving a burnt circle on the floor, a soft yipping and dense chakra signature drew his attention. sat at his feet was a small girl the size of a newborn with fox ears, a orange and red tail with a white tip was coiled around her. kneeling down he scoped the petite girl up in his arms making her yip in surprise, quieting down as he wrapping her up in his cloak.

The others released the genjutsu while weasel gently scratching behind the girls fox like ears causing her to purr while he cradled her in his arms. "weasel report." Hiruzen said quietly, still shaken from what he had just witnessed. turning weasel let his cloak shift so the girls face was revealed to the others. "is that Naruto uzumaki?" the hokage couldn't hide the shock in his voice as he inspected the girls face while she eyed him with her large deep blue eyes her ears twitching occasionally. "snake bring Inoichi to my office." the snake masked ANBU bowed before vanishing the others vanishing shortly after.

Inside the hokage's office weasel placed naruto onto the desk removing his cloak and wrapping her up in it. Hiruzen looked down at her fondly gently stroking her whisker like marks making her purr. "you summoned me lord hokage."

Hiruzen pulled his pipe from his robe setting it in his mouth. "yes I need you to inspect this child's mind, I need to know if this is still naruto uzumaki or if the kyuubi has taken over." Inoichi made no remark as he approached the child, he appraised her with his cold unfeeling eyes, she let out a quiet whimper as he placed his hand on her forehead and entered her mind.

he found himself in the dank sewers that were narutos mindscape. he had seen many ninjas minds guarded by a system like this, he had never heard of a child having such a developed mind. walking throw the tunnels he soon discovered a large room the side walls lined with bars. his eyes opened wide as he inspected the room, they were the cage doors that were meant to keep the kyuubi imprisoned. "I'm sorry." Inoichi jumped forward spinning in the process finding the petite fox eared girl standing half a dozen paces from where he had been stood. the bright blue eyes she had were now slitted like a cats and glowing red.

Hiruzen and weasel stood patiently waiting, after what seemed like a age of silence Inoichi removed his hand from the girls forehead letting out a sigh. "well?" he looked at the hokage and just sighed again in response to his question, massaging his temples he went around the hokages desk taking the bottle of sake he had hidden in the draws out. draining the remaining contents he slumped into the hokages chair massaging his temples again.

"I am too old for this." Inoichi muttered rustling the now sleeping girls hair. "It appears kurama has fused with naruto."

"kurama?" Hiruzen asked despite having guessed who he was talking about.

"It's her name, the kyuubi's name." he leaned back in the chair while the other two occupants of the room stared at him. "she gave naruto her chakra and memories to save his life." placing the empty sake bottle down he met Hiruzen confused eyes. "there is more, it appears kurama was forced to attack the village, by 'a masked man with angry red eyes' someone with the sharingan was controlling the kyuubi and used it to try to destroy the village."

-flashback-

"I'm sorry." the girl stood there tears running from her red eyes. "I didn't want this to happen, I was trying to help him." she wiped the tears off only to have fresh ones take their place. "you came here to find the kyuubi, I am her. I am Naruto Uzumaki and I am kurama."

"why would you save him?" Inoichi watched her cautiously expecting a trap.

"I never meant to hurt anyone from the village. the man with the angry red eyes forced me to, weasels eyes have kindness to them, his didn't they were filled with rage." Inoichi had to do a double take on her words.

"you were controlled?" she nodded once before trying to remove the tears again. he sighed allowed, he could sense no deception from the girl. "so what do we call you know?" she fell silent her eyes fading back to blue.

"you aren't hear to imprison me again?"

"no, I can't speak for the hokage but for now you are free."

"free...Naruko my name is Naruko."

-present-

the pipe fell from Hiruzen's mouth as he took in what Inoichi was saying. "what should we do with her?" Inoichi asked watching the girl with sad eyes. "her mind and body are still developing to the new chakra, she will need constant supervision."

the hokage nodded his understanding "we will honour Minato's will, gather the council members immediately and weasel from this moment forward all laws are enforced, I trust you to act accordingly." Weasel nodded his agreement

"As you command lord third." following the hokage into the council chambers weasel took a seat in one of the dark corners knowing he wouldn't be visible without the aid of jutsu.

The hokage put on his hokage robe and hat taking his seat at the head of the table he set his pipe down on the table and folded his hands taking a deep breath to steady himself for what was coming. from where he sat weasel watched the heads of the seven different clans present in Konohagakure make their way into the room, they all looked annoyed at being summoned at such a late hour.

The four noble clan heads sat near closest to the hokage, the Uchiha sat opposite the Hyuga closest to the hokage next to them were the Aburame and Akimichi, the three other clans silently took their seats, as Danzo entered the room. "why have you summoned us Hiruzen?" Danzo glared at Hiruzen as he spoke, becoming nerves as he noticed the hokages ever present pipe laid discarded on the table. Hiruzen motioned weasel to approach.

"It appears some members of our civilian population saw fit to remove Naruto despite the fourths wishes." weasel moved from the shadows bringing naruko into view. "due to the extent of the injuries he sustained the fourths seal holding the kyuubi broke, fusing naruto's and the kyuubi's chakra together."

"So which one is in control?" Shikaku the head of the Nara clan asked, calmly assessing the situation. Hiruzen motioned for Inoichi to speak.

"It appears that the kyuubi has fully merged with naruto, as you can see the exposure to the her chakra has caused drastic changes to narutos body."they silently nodded their agreement. Inoichi stood behind the hokage arms folded behind him showing no signs of the large quantities of sake he had consumed while he spoke.

"her?" Hiashi the head of the hyuga clan asked. Hiruzen nodded in response.

"it would appear that the kyuubi, kurama as she is called is female and when fusing with naruto he took on some of her qualities." Inoichi informed them.

"what should we do with her?" they could overlook the fact Naruto was now female but the ears and tail were going to be hard to explain to the civilians.

"Root will take her." Danzo answered Hiashi's question almost instantly, not wanting to pass on the change of getting his hands on the Kyuubi.

"No!" Hiruzen glared at Danzo. "I will not disregard the fourths request, Naruko is a citizen of Konohagakure and will be treated as such."

"Wont the change affect him in some way?" Shikaku asked.

"Naruko has kurama's memories and believes she is the kyuubi, there may be a few complications but with the right upbringing she should fit in well enough." Inoichi responded.

"you can't send her back to the orphanage consider her appearance and what has happened. The Hyuga clan will raise her, I owe Minato and have disgraced his memory by letting this happen to his only son."

"And let the Hyuga get a powerful weapon! the Uchiha should take her we are the one most suited to stopping her is she goes on a rampage." Fugaku the head of the Uchiha clan responded. The hokage sighed.

"weasel, what is your opinion on this matter." the weasel masked ANBU looked up from the girl in his arms.

"The hyuga would offer her the best chance of a normal childhood, there advanced chakra control will help her learn to fit in." the hokage nodded at weasels assessment.

"I agree, Until further notice Naruko uzumaki will be in the care of Hiashi hyuga, weasel you are appointed as personal protector for Naruko until she is capable of protecting herself. you are permitted to reveal your identity during this assignment." weasel removed the porcelain weasel mask setting it down next to naruko. Fugakus expression was a mixture of anger and surprise as his looked upon his eldest son, Itachi Uchiha.

"we will take custody of naruko however we request that Itachi respect out clans privacy." Hiashi wasn't to pleased at the hokages decision to place a uchiha as naruko's guard but he could respect the reasoning behind it.

"Of course lord Hiashi, I will refrain from entering the compound unless accompanied by a member of the main house." Itachi bowed to Hiashi as he spoke who bowed in return.

"your discretion is appreciated." the hokage let out a sigh of relief picking up his pipe, he needed a strong drink and a long nights sleep.

"I understand your situation Hiashi however I must insist that itachi stays inside the compound with naruko for the first few days incase there are complications." Hiashi rose taking naruko from itachi.

"as you wish lord hokage." he bowed respectfully before leaving the room itachi following close behind, his mask slung onto his back. his father's eyes boring into him as he walked away. the council members filial out leaving only Hiruzen and Danzo.

"Danzo I need you to assign your root to observe the Uchiha, it would appear that they kyuubi was being controlled during the attack on the village."

Itachi took up a post by the compounds gate while Hiashi headed to his daughters room. he entered to find his wife tucking in their daughter Hinata. "What was the council meeting about, Hinata missed you..." she trailed off as Hiashi walked over to the crib and laid the sleeping Naruko next to Hinata.

"there was a incident with some civilians and the hokage needed someone to take in Minatos daughter." they watched the small girl cuddle up to Hinata her tail coiling around the pair her ears twitching occasionally. she smiled embracing her husband, the girl was different but different didn't mean bad.

"are you sure we are ready for two?" Hiashi embraced her back.

"we are more than ready." the pair looked at the two sleeping girls, curled up together Naruko's tail acting as a second blanket.

Author's notes.
