Naruko

by Rikku Maikeruzu

What if the series was about Naruko instead of Naruto? What if she was treated like the hero she should've been treated as? what if she wasn't hated? what if her father left a letter to Kakashi asking him to train his daughter if she decided to be a Ninja? What if she were smart? What if she were a lesbian? What if all these what if's were true. This is the tale of Naruko Uzumaki.

1. Chapter 1

A/N: Hi everybody! Rikku Maikeruzu here with my first story on this site! To be honest I really don't think there are enough good Naruko stories on this site so that's why this story's all about her.

There are a few things that should be explained with the main things being that first technology is at least somewhat advanced in this so don't be surprised if you see a computer or mp3 player here and there it's just that the reason ninja's are still used is that people saw no reason to change anything since one guy can kill hunderds on his own if he has to which is why you'll still be seeing kunai, shuriken and swords used.

Second is that while transportation is advanced it's also extremely expensive and also is that in this fanfic student's normally graduate the ninja academy at 14 instead of 12.

Fourth is that I hate cannon Sasuke and while I might make him a good guy in later fics I'm getting rid of him before he graduates from the academy. Not even being the last Uhiha can help him if there's an entire classroom full of witnesses to a murder attempt that instantly loses you all your fangirls by showing you that comrades don't matter to him in the least if they piss him off enough.

I won't tell you who he tries to kill until you read it but it will be public and it will be a bit awesome when the attempted victim blocks a Grand Fireball Jutsu. I won't be giving any more hints just that you'll know when it's coming.

100 Years Ago, Valley Of The End...

"Madara! Why Did You Betray Konoha?!" The First Hokage asked his former friend. "Why would you care?! Your clan didn't betray you!" Madara replied "And neither did yours! You're just being delusional!" The aged Hokage replied.

"Oh delusional am I? And is it delusional that I can control the most powerful of the tailed beasts?!" Madara said as he used his Sharingan to call the Kyubi that he'd taken control of and hidden nearby. "RAAAGH! Please Hokage! This madman is controlling me! I don't think I can hold him off! STOP ME!" The Kyubi yelled as it was forced to attack

A few hours later the Kyubi was sealed within a friend of the Hokage who just happened to be a certain blond's ancestor and Madara was defeated.

13 Years Ago, Konoha...

As many shinobi died after a man calling himself Madara released the Kyubi from Uzumaki Kushina when he attacked her while giving birth to a daughter and killing her in the process Minato forced the masked man to retreat and was now standing in front of the Kyubi as it screams wildly under a Genjutsu making it think it's fighting another tailed beast when in reality it's firing off attacks randomly and killing many innocents in the process.

A few tears can be seen falling from the man's eyes as he grieves the death of his wife and holds his new daughter while thinking of the burden about to be placed on her. He sets his crying daughter down and goes through a few handseals then puts one hand towards the Kyubi and one on his daughter's stomach and says "Shiki Fuin! (Reaper Death Seal!)" and the Grim Reaper known in this dimension as the Shinigami appears and puts one hand through Minato's stomach as a white aura consumes him and draws the Kyubi through one of Minato's hands, through the aura as it now turns gray, and into the seal on his daughter's stomach and as the last of the Kyubi is sealed Minato requests to pull out an envelope to leave behind before his soul is taken to which the reaper allows and he sets the envelope on his daughter's belly and lays next to her.

The reaper removed his soul killing him with the last thing he saw being his daughter's crying face as he heard voices approaching knowing that the first letter in the envelope is his will and that another one is a letter to the Hokage and council preventing them from calling for the girl's death and a final letter being his last words to his people requesting the child to be treated as a hero, a letter to Kakashi asking him not to hate Naruko and finally a letter from each parent to Naruko prepared before the birth knowing of a possibility of their deaths from an enemy attack having expected somebody from Iwa when they thought of it instead of the masked shinobi they were surprised by. His last breath leaves him in a sigh of happiness that he did all he could and can leave this world in peace.

With Sarutobi and a group of ANBU who still guard him even in retirement as he is now an adviser to the fourth and as such still needs guarding...

"Minato!" "Hokage-Sama!" "NO! Minato-Sensei!" were some of the cries as Hiruzen and the few ANBU assigned to guard him found his corpse lying next to a baby girl with a smile on his face possibly at having defeated the Kyubi despite the cost of his life. As Hiruzen approached the body with a Crying Kakashi who looked just past the corpse and was surprised to see a crying baby.

Startled out of his crying by the fact that a baby with an envelope was here of all places walked to the baby and picked up the baby and the Envelope and read the name on the envelope and saw it addressed to Hiruzen Sarutobi and handed the surprisingly stuffed envelope to him absentmindedly noticing instructions not to harm the baby and to read each note with just Kakashi and Hiruzen only in the room.

Soon they were in the fourth's now third's again office with just Kakashi, Hiruzen and the baby in the room as Hiruzen opened the envelope and read it finding a note addressed to Kakashi and handed it to him while reading the note addressed to him and the council as he promised to reread this to the council later that night.

He skipped over the letters to Naruko as he wanted her to be the first to read them then he read the will to Kakashi with instructions for after his death and when he wants her to learn what about her parents and for her to be told that her parents had enemies that would hurt her for revenge because the can't hurt them so their identities need to be kept secret even from her until she's either safe from them without doubt or she can protect herself from the majority of their old enemies.

After reading the last of the letter detailing various other things pertaining to her inheritence he and Kakashi who was now making funny faces to the child without his mask on since they're in private and she's too young to remember his face afer having read the letter addressed to him asking him to not hate her for the nature of his death and him now cheering up the child in response instead of ignoring her crying like he would've had he not read the letter.

Soon after allowing Kakashi his moment with the child Hiruzen cleared his throat and said that they need to visit the council with the child causing the ANBU to put both masks back on (Yes he wears two, one is the black mask and the other the dog ANBU mask over the former.) and leave the room while carrying Naruko and silently vowing to himself to make her the best Kunoichi he could if she decides to do so.

The next day after it was agreed that the girl would be treated as an honored hero instead of killing her or using her as a weapon (Much to Danzo's Chagrin) an announcement was made by the Third Hokage who read Minato's last words to his people announcing Naruko as the villages hero and Kyubi's Jailor but not the prisoner which was met with cheers at the village's hero.
