Prologue: Cursed birth

Location: Konoha
Hokage's office
Aftermath of Kyuubi attack

There was tension in the air as the five inhabitants of the hokages office was silently observing each other.
"So Sarutobi, how are you going to handle this? We are weaker than we where at the end of the last Shinobi war, our enemies are just waiting to get the reports on our strength before deciding to attack us." asked one of the advisors.
"Danzo" answered the reinstated sandaime hokage. "you have my permission to reinstate Root, just do it in secret so that I can deny everything you do. The Root will have to take those missions that we publicly treat as to dirty."
A small nod from Danzo was the confirmation that he understood the severity of the situation.
The voice of elder Koharu spoke up next "Sarutobi-kun what shall we do with the vessel of the kyuubi? He was the Yondaimes son wasn't he?"
a deep sigh was heard from the old hokage `forgive me Minato but the village comes before even my promise to you´
"Yes he was the son of Minato but as of now that is a secret that none of us will ever share without my explicit permission is that understood? And to answer your first question Koharu as we are weakened right now we have to use any means possible to project us as strong. In two days time I will show him off to the rest of the village as a hero, but as we all have seen from Jiraiya's reports about the other vessels there's a very small chance that they will actually accept him."
"Then why not keep it a secret sensei, so that he can live a normal life?!?!" almost yelled one Jiraiya of the sannin, seal master and former teacher of the fourth hokage.
"Because with this we will show to the spies in the village that we have a Jinchūriki, the vessel of the nine tailed demon fox Kyuubi, we will use that as a deterrent. Jiraiya you will be tasked with spreading rumors about how the demon fox is now caged and obeys our orders."
"What?!? You got to be kidding sensei, what about the kid? with rumors like that they will defiantly look at him as the fox and not as a person."
"Sacrifices has to be made Jiraya and I will not let the fourths death be for nothing!"
"That is a low blow Sensei" said Jiraiya with a strained voice "to pull him into this, his last wish was that the kid was to be treated as a hero, not to use him as another tool"
"And he will be a hero, he will protect us from annihilation from both the fox and from the other hidden villages, as the hokage the village comes before anything!" the voice of the hokage was rising with every word said.
"With how people will treat him it will be a wonder if he stays loyal to Konoha sensei, you want to put him in some kind of training to turn him into a weapon then!?" Jiraiya spoke with disgust.
"Jiraiya points out something important Sarutobi, how will we ensure his loyalty? The shinobi of the village will listen to you, up to a certain point. But the civilians are a different matter" pointed the last advisor out.
With a face that could have been cut out of stone Sarutobi Hiruzen the third Hokage of Konoha known as the professor and god of shinobi looked into the eyes (or eye in danzo's case) of everyone in the room and said with a emotionless voice
"Yes Homura, unfortunately that is a price we would have to pay, unless we use the seal that Minato was working on during the war..."
Danzo's one eye widened in surprise while Homura and Koharu looked confused.
Jiraiya let out a terrified whisper "No! You can't use that seal on his own son!"
Sarutobi's looked into Jiraiya's eyes
"No I wont be doing the seal, you are"
"NO I REFUSE I WONT USE THAT VILE SEAL ON HIS OWN SON" Jiraiya was now livid
"You will, or are you a traitor to this village? If you don't do this I will have to put you up as a renegade, do you want the blood of all the innocents in this village on your hands when the war breaks out because you wouldn't seal him?"
"There are no innocents in a shinobi village sensei"
"Very well, I will do it instead, but I'm not a seal master so he might die from this"
Jiraiya gritted his teeth "Fine, I will do it. But after this I will leave the village I will send back some reports once a year or so, then you can't mark me as a missing nin"
"That is acceptable, go to his room and prepare the sealing Jiraiya"
As Jiraiya turned and walked out the door, Sarutobi let out a small sigh.
"I see you have a question Homura"
"Yes, what is this seal you and Jiraiya are talking about?"
"The last seal that Minato was working on during the war, it was a seal meant to be used on spies and defectors that we caught. The loyalty seal. It takes over a part of the victims brain that can be programed to influence the victims thinking progress and insert ideals or notions that the victim normally would never do. Like turning a spy completely loyal to Konoha and use him to feed false information back, its like wiping someones mind clear and building a new personality based on the old one. The seal also has a failsafe so if someones old personality or ideas that could be harmful to the seals programmed commands surfaces the brain will burn it away causing large doses of pain to the victim. The seal was actually based on Orochimaru's cursed seals"
"Why haven't we heard about this seal before Sarutobi?"
"Because it was a top secret experimental seal, just think about the consequences if this seal was known? If Orochimaru got his hand on this he could improve those cursed seals of his."
Everyone in the room went silent at that comment.
Danzo used this moment to speak up
"So was the seal ever tested on someone as young as the child?"
"No, but it wont influence the Shiki Fūjin" `I hope´ "We will have to lay some ground rules for the seal. Loyalty to the village, impossible to harm civilians and accept any orders given by the hokage or the teachers appointed by the hokage"
"Sounds good for now. Is it possible to change the rules after the initial sealing?"
"Yes, you can build up more orders after the seal is completed, but if the orders compromises the initial commands the seal will malfunction and most likely try to burn out the new orders and mark the one who gave the order a enemy"
"I see"
"This seal itself is a S-class secret which is not even on the forbidden scroll. The only one who knows about this seal and can do it is Jiraiya, me and formerly Minato. Now lets go Jiraiya should have had enough time to prepare "

"The base seal is finished hokage-sama" spat Jiraiya out "Go ahead and make him your drone, but this will most likely come and bite you in the ass sooner or later old man. You can finish this off yourself I'm leaving" `I'm sorry Minato, you will most likely kill me when I get to the afterlife´ as Jiraiya jumped over the roof tops at his highest speed his last thoughts went out to the small child that was his godson `I hope kami forgives me because you will probably never do Namikaze Naruto, im sorry´ and then the last loyal sannin left the village hidden in the leafs looking for a way to take his mind off what he had just done.

Back at Cell A1

As small blue eyes looked up from the casket where it lay crying from the pain that the seal was causing him the sandaime hokage let a small tear slide down and whispered to the child
"I hope you will forgive me for this one day Naruto" as he stood back up he took out a brush and started drawing more seals on the child's forehead.
"The commands are as following, you will always follow the orders of the hokage, you cannot harm a citizen of the leaf without permission from your superior officer appointed by the hokage or if they are in the way of said mission from superior officer. You will be completely loyal to the leaf and its allies and do everything in your power to protect citizens of the leaf and our allies. You're biggest and only dream is to please the citizens of the leaf." as he put the brush away and started doing some hand signs faster than the eye could see.
"Secret sealing technique: loyalty seal"
as he pured his chakra into the technique the crying and wailing from the baby got higher and higher while the seals on his head started to glow light blue while all the symbols started to draw themselves together into tattoos that looked like whiskers on his cheeks. After what felt like a eternity the glow lowered and Sarutobi looked down on the baby that had passed out.
"From today Namikaze Naruto died and Uzumaki Naruto was borned is that clear?
We don't know how the seal will react on his mind so if it gets out that we used a seal on the son of the hero of konoha there's no way of telling how the shinobi's will react"
The council elders all nodded while looking at Naruto.
As the elders and the hokage left the room they didn't notice the small piece of red chakra that glowed around the whisker marks.
`So these fools think they can control me do they. We will see about that now won't we, I got all the time in the world after all´inside the body of the newly named Uzumaki Naruto a malevolent laughter could be heard.
Another short prologue of a story I got in my head, this story will most likely have a vengeful or dark!naruto later on.
Its loosely based on a story I read a couple of weeks back that I couldnt get out of my head, but I can't remember the story's name so if anyone can send me a link so I can give my thanks.
Only thing I based on the story was about a seal that caused him to be loyal to konoha.
As you can see Sarutobi wont be a just a nice old man who loves Naruto in this story, he's a hokage who will do everything to protect his village, even sacrifice the son of the greates hero of konoha who had already been given one burden.
If I continue this story I will most likely just give short flashes of his life as Naruto will grow up very canonish with small flashes about what really hides behind the smiles and proclamations about being Hokage.
Read and review pretty please.
