Okay guys I am making a remake. Here's the first chapter. I will leave up the chapters for the old story. So if you still wanna read those you can. Well here we go.

Chapter One: A New Family

A man in long white and red robes stared out at the destroyed village. A lot of buildings lay in rubble. Some like the Kage Monument and the hospital were intact. Many homes were destroyed and many ninja now dead. The village would be vulnerable especially now that the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze was dead. Hiruzen wiped his eyes drying the tear that had threatened to fall. Hiruzen had loved Minato as a grandson. After all Jiraiya had trained the boy and he had trained Jiraiya who became like his son and to lose Minato and his wife Kushina was terrible. Hiruzen was a strong man however and knew now was not the time to grieve. The village needed a leader. Hiruzen would have to resume his post as the Third Hokage. The council had already nominated him. He would announce his position tomorrow. However there was a more important matter to handle right now. It was Minato and Kushina's son Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.

Hiruzen left the balcony on the Hokage building and went into his office closing the door quietly. There was a crib in the corner. Hiruzen approached it and looked down into the crib to see a blond baby with whisker marks on his cheeks sleeping peacefully. His blond hair was wild and spikey and looked exactly like Minato's hair except to bangs that fell down to the baby's forehead. He had Kushina's face but sported Minato's tan. If he opened his eyes you would see Minato's star blue eyes. There was no mistaking this was Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki. No mistaking his parentage. That was one of the problems Hiruzen hoped to resolve tonight. The second problem was what he contained.

Naruto possessed the very thing that had laid waste to the village. Naruto contained the Nine Tailed Fox. Hiruzen knew that this would not be kept secret. Naruto would suffer for it with no family to back him up, both psychically and mentally. Hiruzen knew that he must hide Naruto's identity and protect him from the villagers for what he contained. He did not know Minato's reasoning for putting the Fox in Naruto but knew that he had to help. He planned to find Naruto a new family. He called serval of the best of the next generation of ninja all who would be able to teach Naruto to defend himself and hide his identity. These were young strong ninja who he knew at least one would accept.

Hiruzen then sensed a presence enter the room. He knew who it was immediately. He turned to see a ANBU Blackops Ninja kneeling in front of him. The ANBU was cloaked and wore and animal like mask with paint. It was a raven mask with green paint in an arrow at the top. The ANBU was silent and knelled waiting to deliver a message.

"What is it?" Hiruzen asked quietly so not to disturb Naruto. The ANBU bowed his head down in respect and spoke. "The ninja's you have called Lord Hokage." He said. "Are here and waiting for the meeting." Hiruzen nodded. "Send them in." He said. The ANBU vanished immediately.

The door opened and some of the most respected ninja in the village entered the room. The first to enter was Kakashi Hatake. He was a living legend anything the village could have hoped for. He became a Gennin at age eight and a Jonin at age twelve. He had however a terrible past that most ninja twice his age had not experienced. Also with the rumors about him some thought him a traitor and unfortunately Kakashi felt the same. It saddened Hiruzen to see Kakashi suffer like he had. Kakashi had lost both of his parents and watched both of his teammates die, and now Hiruzen had to tell Kakashi about Minato. Kakashi was a lean six foot two and was skinny but built. He had a black cloth mask covering the lower half of his face. His ninja headband was pulled down to cover his right eye if he uncovered it his Sharingan would be revealed. Next to enter was a man about the same size as Kakashi but had bushy eyebrows and a bowl cut. He was wearing a green spandex suit with orange leg warmers. This man was considered the best Taijutsu user in the village. Might Guy otherwise known as the Green Beast. Next to enter was a man slightly taller than Kakashi and Guy and he had black spikey hair and a side burns connecting to a beard. He had a cigarette hanging from his mouth and looked a lot like a younger version of Hiruzen. This was Asuma Saurtobi, Hiruzen's grandson. Asuma wore a black ninja suit with a Chunin vest. He had two trench knifes attached to his belt and a sash attached to his waist that was the sign of the Guardian Shonobi Twelve.

Next to enter was a young woman that looked tired and stressed. No doubt she had found out about her father. This was Kurenai Yuhi. She had long black hair that was messy and unbrushed. She had red lipstick and a red Kunoichi dress with red piercing eyes. She gave Hiruzen a small smile which Hiruzen returned. Next to enter was another woman. She had long black hair and onyx eyes. She was wearing a black ninja outfit and had her Leaf Police Force badge strapped to her arm showing her captain status. This woman was Mikoto Uchiha. Next to enter was Mikoto's husband. He was a stern looking man about Kakashi's height. He had black hair about down to his shoulders and onyx eyes. He had on his Leaf Police Force outfit on as well. With his armband that marked him as Commander of the Police Force. This was the head of the Uchiha Clan. Fugaku Uchiha.

Last to enter was a tan man with lavender eyes that had no pupils. He had long black hair and was wearing a robe. He had a stern look on his face and was as tall as Asuma. This was the head of the Hyuga clan. Hiashi Hyuga. Hiruzen smiled at the ninja assembled before him. He knew that these were the people that would decide Naruto's fate. They all bowed respectfully.

"Lord Hiruzen." They said. Hiruzen sighed. "Stand." He said and they rose. Hiruzen regarded them with a curious gaze seeming to read each and every one of them. Hiruzen decided the first thing to tell them was about Minato and Kushina.

"I have an announcement to make." He said. "I'm afraid that Minato and Kushina died in the Nine Tail's attack." Everyone's eyes widened. There was a gasp of pain. Hiruzen watched Kakashi hold his chest a look of pain on his face.

"Minato-sensei and Kushina is dead?" He asked. Hiruzen nodded sadly. Kakashi stared and then he stared at Hiruzen. "What about their son?" He asked. "He was supposed to be born yesterday." Hiruzen nodded. "Naruto is alive he is what I have called about." He said then walked to the crib. He picked Naruto out of the crib gently and stood in front of them.

"This is Minato's and Kushina's son Naruto." He said. Kakashi took a step forward and looked down at Naruto. Kakashi stared then slowly took Naruto from Hiruzen's arms. Hiruzen sighed sadly watching Kakashi then spoke.

"Minato managed to defeat the Nine Tails however could not kill it so he had to seal it into another host." He said. "Naruto is that host." Everyone stared and Kurenai gasped. "Naruto has the Nine Tails inside of him." She said. She had a look of pain on her face as she stared at Naruto. The thing that had killed her father was in that baby. She didn't feel anger at all. That's what surprised her but instead sorrow and pain. Now she understood the other villagers and some ninja would hate him and all because of something that was in him. He had nothing to do with the attack. Hiruzen cleared his throat drawing their attention.

"So that is why I have called you here." He said. "Naruto will have a live of solitude and hatred if no one raises him. I want one of you to do this." Everyone stared then looked at the boy. There was a silence then.

"I'll do it." Kakashi and Kurenai said at the same time then looked at each other in surprise. Hiruzen smiled. "May I know the reason for it?" He asked. Kakashi looked down at Naruto in his arms then back at Hiruzen.

"I know what it is like to grow up without parents." He said. "I wouldn't want to put that burden on anyone. The village won't welcome so he'll need some comrade or something. Minato was my sensei and Kushina has done much for me. It's the least I can do." Hiruzen nodded then looked at Kurenai.

"And you?" He asked. Kurenai met the Hokage's eyes. "My father was killed by the Nine Tails. I have a reason to hold a grudge but I don't however that doesn't mean others won't. I know what it is like to grow without a mother. I just lost my father. He needs two parents. So I want to care for him. If Kakashi agrees I'd like both of us to care for him. He could use a mother and a father." Kakashi turned in surprise. Kurenai stared back at him with a determined and hopeful look. Kakashi couldn't believe it. Despite all the rumors about him she was willing to live with him just for Naruto. Kakashi smiled giving her an eye smile. He knew that this was a great thing.

"Lord Hokage." He said. "I agree." Hiruzen smiled. "Good." He said. "From this day forth Naruto Namikaze is now Naruto Hatake. This is an S rank secret and you all know the law. The care of Naruto will be in charge of Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi. Does everyone agree to these terms." Everyone nodded. Hiruzen smiled.

"Well then this meeting is adjourned." He said. Kakashi turned to Kurenai and walked toward her.

"Thank you." He said. Kurenai smiled. "Of course. Naruto needs a mother to." Kakashi smiled and then held Naruto out to her. Kurenai stared down at Naruto then slowly took him into her arms. She stared down at him a look of fascination on her face. Naruto suddenly opened his eyes. Kurenai gasped. He had the most beautiful blue eyes she had ever seen. He looked at her quizzically then smiled and burrowed himself in her chest falling back asleep.

"He looks just like Minato-sensei." Kakashi said suddenly. Kurenai looked at him and smiled then suddenly kissed his cheek. Kakashi stared in surprise.

"We should get him home." She said. "My place or yours?" She asked. Kakashi smiled. "Actually I own the Hatake estate my father's house is there. That would be a good place to raise him." Kurenai nodded. "Sounds good." Kakashi nodded and held the door for her and stepped outside of the room. Kurenai and Kakashi saw all the others waiting for them. Mikoto stepped forward. She hugged both Kurenai and Kakashi. Kakashi patted her back awkwardly and Kurenai because she was holding Naruto she leaned into the hug. Mikoto leaned away a happy look in her eyes.

"Thank you both." She said. "I know because of Uchiha low me and Fugaku would not have been take him. I'm glad Kushina's and Minato's boy has a place to stay." Kakashi nodded. "It's not a problem." He said. "It's the right thing to do." Mikoto nodded. "Fugaku and I will be by in a bit with a spare crib." She said. Kurenai nodded. "Thank you." She said. Mikoto nodded and left with Fugaku who nodded at Kakashi and Kurenai.. Next Asuma, Guy, and Hiashi stepped forward.

"Well done Kurenai." Asuma said. "I'm proud of you. I'll help train Naruto and help you when you need it just let me know." Kurenai nodded and leaned into Asuma and Asuma wrapped his arms around her in a hug.

"Thank you Asuma." Kurenai said. Asuma nodded then shook Kakashi's hand and left. Kurenai watched him go sadly. She felt guilty. Asuma had helped her get over her mother and was there for her when her father died. He had confessed he loved her. Kurenai only felt for Asuma as a brother. It saddened her to see him sad. Next Guy stepped forward. He did his Guy pose.

"Good job you two!" He said loudly. "I'll assist anyway I can. Don't forget to teach Naruto the FLAMES OF YOUTH!" Naruto shifted in Kurenai's arms stirring slightly. Kurenai glared at Guy. Her hand drifted toward her kunai pouch. Guy stepped back nervously.

"Ummmm…" He said. "I think I'll GO"! Guy took off and was gone. Kakashi smirked under his mask and made a mental not to get on Kurenai's bad side. She was after all the Genjutsu Mistress. Hiashi stepped forward.

"Naruto will have protection from the Hyuga." He said. "We will assit you with the child. You have my word." Kakashi smiled. "Thanks Hiashi that means a lot." Hiashi nodded. "It's the least I can do. I owe Minato." He nodded at Kurenai and left. Kakashi turned to Kurenai.

"We better get him home." Kurenai nodded. They left the building and began to make their way to the Hatake estate. The streets were clear everyone was either asleep or inside. Kakashi and Kurenai reached Kakashi's childhood home. It was a two story house that seemed ordinary. The house looked okay. There were some chips in the outside paint and some windows were cracked.

"It's nice." She said. "But could use some work." Kakashi nodded "Fortunately looks like exterior damage." He said. "So it won't be that expensive." Kurenai nodded. Kakashi took out keys and walked to the door and unlocked it. He opened the door and held it for Kurenai. Kurenai entered to see the furniture clean and neat.

"I thought you said you didn't live hear." She said. Kakashi nodded. "I don't." He said. "A friend of mine named Tori comes and cleans the house. However I wouldn't let her fix it. I wanted to do that but… haven't" Kurenai nodded in understanding. She had lost her father so she could understand. They made their way to the sitting room and sat down on a large leather couch. Kakashi noticed with amusement that Kurenai couldn't keep her eyes off of Naruto. Kakashi remember what the Hokage said about hiding Naruto's identity.

"Kurenai?" He said. She turned to face him. "Listen." Kakashi continued. "It is our job to protect Naruto as his new parents. We need to pass him off as or son. Like his hair or his eyes." Kurenai's eye's narrowed. "I won't change his eyes but I'll put up a permanent Genjutsu around his hair that will grow with his hair and will keep his identity hidden." Kurenai then glared at Kakashi like daring him to object. Kakashi nodded. Kurenai turned back to Naruto then began to form a long series of hand signs. She made one final one and Naruto's hair turned Kakashi's shade of silver. Kurenai looked at him waiting to see his reaction. Kakashi pulled up his headband to look at the Genjutsu with his Sharingan eye.

Kurenai started seeing the Uchiha bloodline. Kakashi nodded as if satisfied and went to pull down his headband but Kurenai suddenly touched the scar across his eye. Kakashi's eyes widened and he looked at Kurenai. She traced the scar careful not to touch his eye as she stared at the scar.

"Where did you get that?" She asked. Kakashi looked at her. "The Sharingan or the scar?" He asked. Kurenai looked at him. "Both I guess." Kakashi nodded. "The Sharingan was given to me by my teammate Obito before he died. The scar was from a sword." Kurenai nodded. "What happened?" She asked. Kakashi looked at her. "I'll tell you one day but not now." He said. "I don't like talking about that part of my life." Kurenai nodded and said nothing more she moved her hand from his face to his hand and took it. Kakashi looked at her in surprise.

"Kakashi I know this wasn't planned." She said. "However I think I could come to love you. You seem like a good man. Your kind and have a sense of humor. Despite of what you read you obviously respect women. We both will care for Naruto so I'd like to get to know you. If you'll let me. Kakashi I'm glad I'm not doing this alone." She waited for Kakashi to pull away. Kakashi never let anyone in. Even Guy had trouble reaching him. She was surprised when Kakashi turned her hand over and gave it a squeeze.

"Thank you Kurenai." He said. "I think I could come to love you to. You did so much for Naruto and even lived with me and offered. You've always been a good friend and I'm sorry that I am not as open as I should be. I promise I will do everything in my power to make this work. I'm glad you're the one that will help me raise Naruto." Kurenai smiled and kissed Kakashi's cheek suddenly. Kakashi blushed and was glad he had a mask. The doorbell suddenly rung and Kakashi turned towards the sound then gave Kurenai's hand a final squeeze.

"I'll go help them with the crib." He said. "I'll let you know when it's ready." Kurenai nodded. "Okay." She said. Kakashi let go of her hand and walked to the door. He opened the door and saw Mikoto and her son Itachi standing with a white crib. Kakashi shook Itachi's hand. He had worked with Itachi in the past during ANBU Blackops missions. Itachi had long black hair pulled into a ponytail and onyx eyes. He looked a lot like his mother and wore a black Uchiha shirt and tan shorts.

"Good to see you again Itachi." He said. Itachi nodded. "You to captain." He said. "I'm happy to help." Kakashi shook his head. "We're not on a mission. Don't call me captain call me Kakashi." Itachi nodded. "Okay Kakashi." He said. "Where do you want the crib?" Kakashi helped pick it up and began to lead Itachi through the house to his old bedroom. He opened the door and pulled the crib through to see a medium sized rooms with blue walls. He and Itachi carried it to a corner and laid it down. He turned to Itachi and Mikoto.

"Thank you." He said. Mikoto nodded. "We should go home. We'll help whenever you ask." Kakashi nodded. Mikoto and Itachi went to leave the room. Mikoto stopped.

"Oh Kakashi." She said. "Take turns for when he wakes up in the night. You'll both sleep better." Kakashi nodded. "Thanks Mikoto." She nodded and left. Kakashi walked through the house where Kurenai was with Naruto.

"Kurenai." He said. "The cribs ready." She nodded and stood. They walked towards the room and Kakashi stopped in the hallway to grab a blanket and pillow from the closet. He walked into the room and Kurenai followed she looked around.

"Sort of empty." She said. Kakashi nodded. "I'll need to go get baby supplies and some other things for him tomorrow." Kurenai nodded she walked to the crib and laid Naruto down gently. Kakashi placed the blanket over Naruto and laid his head gently on the pillow. Kurenai stroked Naruto's forehead and smiled as she watched him sleep. Kakashi smiled and wrapped him arm around Kurenai. Kurenai stiffened. Kakashi released her immediately.

"Sorry-." He said but cut off when Kurenai wrapped his arm around her and leaned into him. Kakashi blushed but smiled. Kurenai and Kakashi stood there for a moment watching Naruto sleep. For a moment it all made sense. Naruto coming to live with them. Them as his parents. It just made sense. Kakashi smiled.

"I could get used to this." He muttered. Kurenai smiled. "Me to." She said. Kakashi leaned his head atop of hers. Kurenai leaned into him and they both enjoyed each other's warmth and watching Naruto. He looked peaceful. But sadly all great moments had to end.

"We should get some sleep." He said. Kurenai sighed but nodded. "Okay." She said. Kakashi squeezed her then let her go. "Come on I'll show you the spare room." They left Naruto's room and went to the spare bedroom. Kakashi opened the door. To show a room with white walls and a queen sized bed in the room. A brown dresser with a mirror was on one side of the room. A closet door on the other.

"It's not much but I think you'll have enough room for now." He said. "Tomorrow well go get your clothes and things." Kurenai nodded and turned to Kakashi. "Thank you Kakashi." She said then stood on her tiptoes and kissed his cheek. "Goodnight." She said. Kakashi nodded. "Goodnight." He said and turned around to make his way to his father's old room where he would be sleeping. He opened the door and hesitated. It had been years since he had last entered this room. The room where his father lived. He stepped in and saw everything was how it was left. His father's chakra blade hanging on the wall which he had repaired and left here to make sure it wouldn't get stolen or broken again. There were scrolls that would shoot kunai and shirukun if someone without Hatake blood touched it. Kakashi would have to remember to get that removed.

He walked to the dresser and did a hand sign releasing the seals. He opened it and found his father's headband. He took it and unfolded to find the Fang necklace his father had given his mother then wore himself when his mother had died. He stared and decided that he would give to Kurenai soon. Sometime when he knew to give it to her. His father said wait until a sign. A sign that Kakashi would one day recognize. Of course that meant that Kakashi had no idea what he was talking about. However that meant he'd figure it out eventually but not today.

Kakashi took the headband and the necklace and sealed it on his arm. What better place to keep something than on your body. Kakashi then laid down kicking off his sandals and decided to get some sleep. He had a new family which meant new possibilities every day.
