What if the Nine-tailed fox never attacked the Hidden Leaf Village?
This is the story of Namikaze Naruto the son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina.
Please review I would like some thoughts on this story. This is my first story that I didn't adopt from someone.
Chapter One: Namikaze Naruto
xxxThe Hokage's Officexxx
It's early morning, this day was very specail to him, it was his sixth birthday. Why it was specail to him, is becuase its the first day of real training that his father had promised him.
Minato is the 4th Hokage but today he was just a shonobi and father. It was his sons sixth birthday and he wanted to be there for him. He was glad that the old man was more than able to still be hokage when he needed a break. Even thou after so many years this was the first time he had asked his former leader for help.
Saratobi was a very nice old man and even being old he was one of the strongest ninja in history.
"Thank you again Saratobi." Minato said bowing to the older man. "This is my sons biggest day in his life and he well be happy, who knows he may come thank you himself. Haha."
"Haha." Saratobi chuckled. "Its fine if he doesn't, besides he is still young and he neededs you sometimes too."
"Hey Saratobi-sama." Said the shorter version of Minato. "I Namikaze Naruto maybe young but my father did teach me respect you know." "So thank you Saratobi-sama."
"I see he has done well to teach you proper manners too." Saratobi replied. "And your mother has trained you well on easedropping on people. Haha."
"Hehe. Bye old man. See you at home dad." The young boy said running off.
"Haha. He reminds me of you when you were young Minato." Saratobi could see the simalarities of the two. "Minato, show him the right path. He may very well be the next hokage of this village."
"Saratobi, you know as well as I do he has a long road ahead of him full of hardships and lose." Minato replied. "So for now let him enjoy life. Haha." "Besides with my luck he well be stronger than me one day."
"Haha. You never know my boy, but its about time for you to run along Minato." The old man stated.
"Alright, alright. If you need anything just send Hatake over. He is right out front of your door today." He replied. "Well I'm off Saratobi-sama." And with that he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

"Onii-chan, your back!" Came a voice from behind a small tree.
"Iroha, why are you up sis?" Naruto asked his younger sister. She is 2 years younger than he is. Her hair is just as red as her mothers but she had her fathers blue eyes.
"Becuase I want to wacth you and daddy train." She pouted."Is that a problem onii-chan?"
"No, no Iroha-chan." "But you should really be sleeping you know." He muttered
"Naruto, Iroha its time for breakfest you two." Kushina said from the kitchen.
"Coming mother." The two replied as they ran for the kitchen.
"So today is the big day for you isn't it Naruto?" Kushina asked already knowing the answer.
"Of course it is mother, I mean dad is finally going to start training me today. Hehe." He said with his signiture fox grin.
"Well if we are going to get started you better finish your breakfest little man. Haha." Came the his fathers voice from the doorway.
"Hey sweety, I see you got the day off like you wanted." Kushina said to her husband. "I take it Saratobi was more than happy to be needed again was he not?"
"He was very happy." He replied. "What made it even better for him was Naruto thanking him for letting me have a day with my son. Haha. He's alot like you honey."
"What did he do this time sweety?" Kushina asked rolling her eyes. Becuase everytime he said that her little boy was pulling another prank on someone.
"He's not in trouble this time. Its just he is just as good as you at easedropping." He replied.
Everyone laughed at that. Then Naruto jumpped up out of his chair and yelled. "Father I'm done eating and ready to go train."
"Well then we are off honey. Ihora be good for your mother while I'm gone she might need help with things around the house." Minato said.
She just sat there pouting and without a word she went into the back yard and started throwing shurikens at the targets they had put up. Naruto just wacthed as she went outside, then he asked his father "can she come watch dad?" "I think she really wanted to see what you were going to teach me."
"If that's what you want but you have to go get her yourself. Got it?" Minato told his son.
Naruto just nodded and ran out to grab his little sister. He wacthed as her eyes lit up in excitment. She was just as eager as Naruto. Minato and Kushina couldn't help but smile at the sight of their two childern running back into the house hand and hand.
"Lets go father, I really want to learn something really cool." "Can you teach me the rasengan please?" Naruto pleaded.
Minato just luaghed. "My son when the time is right I well teach you, but right now we are just going to work on the basics."
"Ah come on dad." Naruto pouted. "Fine if that's what you say then lets get going already." "Bye mom see you later today."
With that Minato started to walk towards the training ground with his childern. Kushina just wacthed as they walked away. 'Haha I finally get the house to myself for a day.'

After walking for about 20 minutes they finally made it to where they were going to do their training for the day. Minato pulled out afew scrolls from his pocket. Naruto and Ihora both just looked on in aww. Minato loved it when his kids wacthed him so carefully. They were always surprised when he did something even if he had shown them before.
He unrolled the scrolls and made a hand sign. This released the Kuenies and shurikens that were hidden in them. There was also a short sword and katana. This is where Naruto would choose his weapon of choice. Althought he wasn't going to teach him how to use it today, he would use this to determine what he was going to do for future training. When his son wasn't quite ready for more advanced jutsu's.
Naruto looked at them all and he turned to his father with a confused look on his face. "Your about to ask me what these are for arn't you Naruto?" Minato could tell what was on the boys mind. "Well this is for later but what weapon do you like most out of these?"
After afew minutes of thinking Naruto finally spoke, "father which do you think would be best for me?" "I mean the shurikens and Kunais I've used before but the short sword looks cooler. And if I got into a fight with someone that uses a sword the short sword would give me better control right?"
Minato looked at his son and noticed that his duagther was also thinking. "Ihora which do you think best suits your brother?"
She looked at her brother and then her father. She smiled "I think nee-chan would like the short sword better. Hehe."
"Ok Ihora I well go with the short sword then." He said.
She smiled and so did Minato he then handed Naruto the sword and a shiath for it. Naruto took it and asked "dad can you teach me to seal this into a scroll please?"
"Ok after you do your first bit of training I think you well be able to do that in a week. ok?" Minato replied with a smile.
"First thing we are going to do is work on chakra molding." Minato said. "So Naruto go ahead and show me if you can do that."
Naruto knew how to do it he was told by his favorite Chunin Iruka-san. Iruka was a friend of the Namikaze family and he always came to babysit Naruto and Ihora when Minato and Kushina went out for whatever reason they went out.
Naruto slowly started to mold chakra around his whole body. Minato wasn't surprised, he figured Iruka would show Naruto how to do that sooner or later. He was just glad the young man showed him sooner.
"Ok. that's good but can you mold it on your feet only Naruto?" Minato asked. And to his surprise Naruto didn't reply with words just action. Naruto had started to form chakra just at his feet. You could tell he needed alot more practice but to be able to mold chakra at only one point in your body at six was nothing short of a miricale.
"Thats good try to climb that tree with just your feet." Minato said pointing to a tree.
Naruto looked at him. "Dad do you mind showing me how that works first?" He asked.
Minato smirked and just walked up to the tree and slowly started to climb it. His two childern just looked at him with their eyes glued on him as if they had seen an act of god.
Naruto just shook his head and ran up to the tree his father had pointed at before and started to run up it. He only made it a few steps before falling on his back. "Oh and you have to use the right amount of chakra for this to work Naruto." His father said. "Not enough and you fall on your back, to much and you push yourself off. Just relax and keep trying. And here once you get as far as you can go mark it on the tree with this." With that he threw his son a Kunai.
Naruto caught it and nooded. He then began trying again and again. At first he was not putting enough chakra to his feet. Then he put to much. After about the 30th time he finally got about 4 feet up the tree before he had to mark it with his Kunai.
"Ok that's enough for now Naruto. Its time for lunch, how about we go to Ichiroku's Raman shop for lunch?" Minato asked knowing what the answer was going to be.
Naruto looked at Ihora who was also very excited, they both loved ramen. It was there favorite dish. They then looked at thier father and nooded in unisene. He resealed everything into the scrolls show Naruto the hand signs. Naruto wouldn't let his father seal his sword. He was going to at least try before that happened.
After Naruto finally aloud his father to seal his sword, becuase his little sister wasn't going let him hold them up any longer.

Upon arrival they heard the old man and Ayame say, "welcome to Ichiraku's ramen sh... Oh hey lord Namikaze."
"Hi Naruto-kun, Ihora-chan it's been awhile how have you two been?" Ayame asked the younger two Namikazes.
"We've been good Ayame nee-chan. How have you been?" They replied.
"Good, good. So what would you like to eat today?" She asked.
"Miso Pork ramen for me." Naruto said.
"Me too." Ihora smiled.
"I guess that makes all three of us then Ayame. Haha." Minato laughed.
"Alright three orders of Miso Pork ramen coming up Hokage-sama." Said the old man.
"Please just call me Minato." He replied with a slight blush.
"Lord Hokage-sama." Came a voice from outside the shop curtains. It was Hatake Kakashi. Only he was off duty and only had his half masked on.
"What is it Kakashi?" Minato asked in a mono-toned voice.
"I wanted to ask you if it was alright if I left anbu and became a regular Jounin again?" He asked. "I wanted to know if that was possible or if once you become anbu you can't go back."
Minato just looked at him. He knew what he was going thru. Being an anbu wasn't easy and after 7 year he could understand why the copy ninja. His only remaining student. "Kakashi you are the leader of the anbu black ops for our village." Minato stated. "You have been at this for 7 years now and i understand all too well that you want out." He paused a moment. "Do you have a replacement in mind for you as head of anbu?"
Kakashi nodded. "Tenzo would be best." "He is skilled and can handle the job."
Minato knew about Tenzo and his abilities. "Alright Kakashi if that's what you want then so be it." "But only under one condition."
"What's that Minato-sensei?" He looked at his former sensei unknowing what he was going to ask.
"I want you to become a Jounin teacher for genin." Minato replied whether they pass or fail does not matter. You are to test team after team until you can find a team worth training." "I know you well be fair and just with your decision."
With that Kakashi bowed and disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"Daddy who was that?" Ihora asked.
"That was my former student Hatake Kakashi." He told his daughter. "He is a good person and a strong shinobo." He smiled remembering when he was still a Jounin teacher himself.
"Here you go." Ayame said setting the plates in front of them. They all grabbed their chop sticks, broke them in half and bowed before eating. They took their time enjoying their food. They were talking when Kushina had heard them while walking by.
"So sweetie, did you enjoy your ramen with the kids?" Kushina asked. "Oh look at the time its already dinner time."
"Hehe. I'm sorry Kushina. We came here after Naruto had gotten to the part where he could at least start climbing the tree." He said with a scared look on his face. "Then we decided to come here for lunch and I kind of lost track of time."
"Hey mom are you and dad both going to be there when I start school tomorrow?" Naruto asked winking to his father. He may only be six but he knew when his mother was mad at his father.
"Oh that's right, yes Naruto sweetie we will both be there." She replied. Well let's get home and have dinner together tonight."
Minato paid Ayame and her Teuchi. As they were walking Ihora held her mothers hand as Naruto and his father were trailing a little behind. Minato then told his son in a low voice. "Nice save back there son. I really owe you one."
Naruto with his signature fox grin replied. "Then can you get me a jacket that you and mother always wear so i have a good place to put my scrolls and ninja tools?"
Minato wasn't to surprised that his son wanted something in return for saving him. But just a simple vest? He knew his son better than that. "Alright what else do you want Naruto?"
"Hehe." Naruto chuckled. "I want it to have the family crest on the back of it as well." "Oh and a holster for my right leg to keep my shurikens and Kunais in."
"You drive a hard bargain my boy. It's a deal." He said. "But if your mother asks it was your birthday present from me. Ok?"
Naruto nodded. He was excited that tomorrow would be his first day of school. What was school going to be like? Was Iruka going to be his teacher? Would he make any friends? He had some many questions but he knew they would be answered tomorrow. But tonight he was going to figure out how seal items into scrolls.
