It has been a year since the nine-tailed fox attacked Konoha. The village hidden in the leaves were not stable for the other countries. Especially with the new jinjuriki around. The third hokage called a meeting with all the clan leaders that lived there. All that was not settling was the news.

"I am sure everyone is aware about Naruto holding the nine-tails inside him." the room is silent. "I have also have this meeting for a very personal matter." the third hokage puffs the tobacco that is in his pipe. The leaders started to talk amongst one another wondering what did Hiruzen Sarutobi, the third Hokage of the Hidden leaf, wanted them for. "We need a wife for Naruto and-" he was cut off very quickly by Danzo.

"Have you lost your mind! No one wants that brat here anyway. All you want to do is doom us all by having another demon child in the future. Have you no shame?" the third Hokage glared at him, but in the deep part of his mind he was right. "Danzo if I may." Inoichi stood in between the other two clans of the mountains. "I have looked into the information about the nine-tails." everyone looked at Inoichi. Danzo slammed the desk at where he sat. "I do not want to hear a thing about the nine-tails. He should be used as a weapon, a great asset, the destroyer of other countries." the other clan leaders started to whisper between one another as Danzo continued.

"He should be put into the ROOT program. He will be taught with discipline, chakra control, and very powerful jutsu that can crush enemies by miles around. He can be our secret weapon. Also, no one will ever know of his existence."

The third hokage raised his hand to stop the commotion in the meeting. The third Hokage looked towards the Mountain Clan trio, and nodded to continue the findings from the Yamanaka leader. "As I was saying before lord hokage. There are only certain clans that can actually control the nine-tails. Those clans that are able to control the nine-tails are the Uchiha's, the Senju, the Uzumaki's to some extent, and to my surprise are the Yamanaka's." Danzo grunted in disagreement with Inoichi.

Fugaku Uchiha was very intrigued with the information that was told to the clans. Hiruzen was shocked by these findings. "Tell me Inoichi, why are the Yamanaka's part of this list?" Danzo interrupted once more "What should be asked is why do you want the nine-tails brat to have a mate?" the clans waited on the answer from the Hokage as he puffs his smoke from the pipe.

He stood from his chair and sighed with a bit of agitation with his voice. "If you want to know, it should be obvious to you Danzo Shimura. He is the fourth Hokage's son! The people here are already in fear, traumatized by the events that has happened within the past year. I have promised Minato to have his son in good hands and at least have someone to love him even though the village won't!" his voice echoed within the room with the other clan leaders listening to what is the truth behind this meeting. He sat back down from where he stood and looked to Danzo one last time as a warning, and then nodded to Inoichi. He cleared his throat and continued.

"As we all know by the list that I gave. There's only four clans that can control the beast inside Naruto. Also, the Yamanaka's are part of the four because we have the Ninja art for mind techniques that can bring us inside the mind of whoever would have the tailed beasts. When they act out of control there is a very powerful jutsu that only the Yamanaka can use to keep the host calm."

The clan leaders looked to the Uchiha leader, Fugaku. As the information was relayed to everyone they waited for the final decision. "Fugaku and Inoichi, I would like to see you two tomorrow at sunrise. I will tell my decision by then." Danzo walked out and didn't say a farewell. The other clans started to leave the room leaving the Hokage alone with his thoughts.

All that the third Hokage hopes for is that the will of fire, and the fourth guide him to the right decision. It seems difficult to pick, but only time will tell.


Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe in his office waiting on the two head clan leaders. He looked to all the pictures of the kage. He remembers all the good times with them, he smiles at each picture. It was only a matter of time of seeing the last Hokage Minato. "You did well for protecting the village, Minato." he blew the smoke out of his mouth.

There was a knock at the door "Come in." the Uchiha and the Yamanaka came into the office and stood in front of the desk and waited for the final decision. "As you two may know, you're the only two clans that are here alive and well. However, things have been hard on my choices lately." he looked to the fourth hokage's picture one last time and sat on his desk. "This choice is very risky, but I will trust it to you Inoichi." Inoichi was shocked by the choice that was made and looked to Fugaku who was very angry. He took a deep breath and bowed to Inoichi out of respect.

"Congratulations Inoichi, I hope Ino will be happy with the fourth's son." he looked to the third and waited for any further news. "Fugaku, I understand that you have two boys. I don't think Naruto would be gay for either of them." Fugaku looked away. The room was filling up with tension. All that was still at ease was leaves outside.

"This jutsu you speak of Inoichi. What is this technique that can tame the tailed beasts?" Fugaku leaves the office without another word. He walks down the stairs of the mansion and back to his house while the sun rose into the sky.


Inoichi summons the scroll. He opens the scroll and shows the Hokage, he was surprised by what jutsu it is. "Isn't that forbidden in your clan and the other two mountain clans?" Inoichi nodded in agreement. He was concerned about how this technique is suppose to work but all he can do is wait and see how this will be played out in the future. All that he hopes for is that this would be the best choice there was between the two.


Fugaku reached his house and went inside and went to bed quietly. He was very disappointed in the choices that were made and he wanted it to go right for once in his life. He wanted this to be as perfect as Itachi's grades in school. His wife is sleep in the bed when he entered. He went back to sleep and pretended the choice didn't matter, but he'll talk to the hokage later. Alone.
