Warning: Fem!Naruto as well as a regular Naruto, this is mainly part of the yin-yang dynamic of opposites. Main plot will not take place in Konoha and there will be OC's in the main cast.
Full Summary: Instead of one child Minato and Kushina have twins, Minato seals the chakra of the Fox into them both; he lives to raise the children at Kushina's request. Nearly a year later one of the children is taken by Iwagakure.
The Stolen Hero
Prologue
Twins were born the night of the Nine Tailed Fox's attack of the Konohagakure, the children of the Fourth Hokage and his wife Kushina. Within them the chakras of the demon were sealed, in the girl the yin chakra was sealed, within the boy was the yang. Kushina Namikaze gave her life to defend Konoha. They were kept safe, at least until one was taken late one night, taken away by enemies of Konoha.
Ōnoki, the Third Tsuchikage, sat with A, the Fourth Raikage; they were in 'peace talks'. Really it was simply a way for the Daimyos to make discuss trade agreements and a possible military alliance.
"You know old man, in this time of peace our villages should be gathering strength not lowering our military spending. I hear some group…Akatsuki…is selling their services as a military. In a time where our ninja have to sell their services to people who walk into our villages these fools are making money off of the smaller villages."
"Hmm, rather sad isn't it? They sent me a pricing sheet the month before last; I don't think I'll be turning to them. We'll find some way to make ends meet." The Raikage gave a curt nod as the Daimyo of his country began laughing at the other end of the room.
"I still wish my father had gotten the Nine Tailed Fox. Who knows if they put it into a Jinchuuriki or if that fool Minato really killed the beast."
"I've always heard the Bijuu die…we've never had one die on us." A nodded.
"A few years ago Takigakure's Jinchuuriki went on a rampage, killed a few hundred people before they put her down, the beast never revived, the chakra was just gone when the meat rotted." The hairs on the back of the old kage's neck rose, they had always suspected killing a Demon while in a Jinchuuriki would kill them both.
"Taken on an apprentice old man?" A asked pointing at Deidara, barely five a no longer watching the politicians instead molding clay into a small spider.
"The third I've had actually, Deidara, definitely has potential. He's from the explosion bloodline, rather nasty jutsu style as you know a fairly good artist as well. If only he would show that much dedication to his ninja training."
"At that age my little brother was already a Chunin, jounin by ten. Hell when I was six I was a Chunin and that was during peace time." Nook nodded, thirty years separated them in all, Nook being much older than the other Kage, even Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"When I was six there was no such thing as Genin or Chunin or Jounin, let alone Kage. In my lifetime there have been four major wars, the Founding Wars put the other three to shame. If these young fools only knew what it was like before then…" A looked interested most ninja old enough to remember the time before the villages didn't talk about it.
"I was twelve when Konohagakure was founded, I fought Madara Uchiha once before that, Mū sensei held him off for most of it but I remember that man. Never saw Hashirama Senju in person but I heard of him. He once killed an entire clan, alone; they saw he turned the ground red with the blood and that his trees grew with that taint." He paused. "The Founding Wars started before his time though, he just put an end to it. All the clans knew it was time to start carving the land out for ourselves but we had to know who was top dog…damn if that war hadn't happened I guarantee you that we would have been all dead by now."
"Constant war, that's all dad ever said about it. The Second too."
"Imagine every clan was a village and every village was at war, the war had gone on for longer than anyone could know…To stop endless war one man who had more power than anyone led his people to peace…truly amazing."
A nodded and looked out the window. "It's too bad that the Senju brothers never brought their dream to full fruition."
"Our place is to complete the transition, from clans to nations. No I won't use these Akatsuki people…I'll trust in my people even if they have to work for commoners like the Konoha ninja."
Several Jounin within Iwagakure plotted while the Tsuchikage was away, the crossed boarders and went deep into enemy territory. They found the home of the Uzumaki twins and took a child. They fled back to their home and upon their leaders return presented him with the child of the greatest of their enemies.
'In this time of peace we must gather strength.' Those words flashed through the Tsuchikage's mind. Before he knew it he was congratulating them, telling them to keep it secret.
He took the child to his residence, his wife and family looked at him. A story flowed from his mouth, an orphan with strong chakra, barely a year old. He couldn't possibly abandon her and the orphanage had been unsure if they would take her as a child could be used as a sleeper agent.
As always when he had made a decision his family and people did not question it, the girl was soon accepted as simply another addition to Ōnoki's family.
