Naruto: rise of the new Kyuubi
It was only a few hours ago that the Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze faced the terrible force of the Kyuubi. The giant nine-tailed fox demon appeared not far of the village and went straight for the village. Knowing that a mighty demon like Kyuubi couldn't just be defeated, so the Fourth started to search for a way to defeat it. In order to buy their hokage some time the ninja forces of the leaf set out to fight the monster. When the Kyuubi made it to the gates of the village Minato found only one way. He would have to seal the demon into a newborn child. As of fate his own son was just born the moment Kyuubi reached the gates. So he quickly went to the hospital to get his son. He learned there that his wife Kushina Uzumaki was weak and there was the possibility that she wouldn't make it. Since there wasn't much time he quickly said his goodbye and left with his son. When he appeared on top of the gates, the remaining ninja's cheered and started fighting with renewed courage. The Fourth Hokage summoned Gamabunta, the Toad boss of the toad summons. Together with Gamabunta he started to fight the Kyuubi. Even with the Toad boss's help and his own arsenal of jutsu, it barely fazed Kyuubi. He ordered Gamabunta to keep Kyuubi busy for a moment and flashed away back to the gate. At the gate he grabbed his son again and started the long sequence of hand seals for a new jutsu he devised. When he finished the hand seals, he flashed back to Gamabunta's head. Kyuubi suddenly froze and looked at the Fourth. Behind the Fourth appeared the Death God, who was summoned thanks to the new jutsu. With the help of the Death God he was able to take Kyuubi and seal it into his newborn son. When the sealing was over Minato immediately went back to his office. He only had a few moments time before the Death God would claim him. At his office he met his predecessor the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. He gave his son to Sarutobi and spoke a few words, his last words "Take care of Naruto, take care of my son. He is a hero, for he holds the Kyuubi. Jiraya-sensei will understand the seal and the scrolls in the desk." With these last words he collapsed and faded away, the Death God claimed his life, body and soul as payment for the summoning.
As soon as possible Sarutobi gathered the council of Konoha. The council had a meeting, where Sarutobi took his old position as hokage. He told the council of Minato's plan, the sealing of Kyuubi into Naruto. Immediately some civilian council members started the shout for the death of the child. "The child shall not be harmed. He along with Minato Namikaze are the heroes that saved this village. Honor the sacrifice of your beloved Yondaime for it was his wish to take care of Naruto." Sarutobi said with a powerful voice. Hiashi Hyuuga, head of the Hyuuga clan stood up and declared "The Yondaime was a close friend of the Hyuuga's, thus we will honor his wish and offer the child our protection". Shibi Aburame was the next to stand up "It is only logical that we honor the Fourths wish. The child is not the Kyuubi, just its jailor. He is the Kyuubi, as much the Aburame are the kikaichu we host, which we are not, only hosts." Tsume, head of the Inuzuka followed shortly "It's not the pups fault, he didn't choose this. We offer our protection of the Inuzuka". Then the well known Ino-Shika-Cho trio stood up as one "We offer our protection too" said Inoichi. "Yes as Tsume said, it wasn't his choice" continued Shikaku. "The Fourth was a seal master like no-one before; we have faith in his abilities." Choza finished. The old hokage smiled after the declarations of the clan heads. The smile didn't last long though. Fugaku Uchiha stood up "Although our beloved Fourth was a seal master like no other before him, we still need to take caution with it. We cannot let it roam free." With a stern look Sarutobi questioned the Uchiha clan head "First 'it' is a boy and have a name which is Naruto. Second are you suggesting that we lock him up, which we will do not." "I am merely stating a fact that we can let him out of our sight." Fugaku replied. "Give the boy to me. I shall train the boy to become a perfect weapon for Konoha." Said an old crippled war hawk named Danzou. The Sandaime turned to Danzou "And give you the opportunity to make him an emotionless drone that only follows your command, like your Né. Yes, I know you still run your Né, despite my order to disband them." Sarutobi shot at Danzou. "If we don't control the boy from early on, he could become a danger for the villagers. We do not know how the Fourth sealed the fox. Even Jiraya, if he came back, might not be able to comprehend the seal or repair it if something went wrong. It is either controlling him or killing him." Danzou stated. By now the civilian members of the council started to back up Danzou, especially for the killing part. "Enough!" shouted Sarutobi, "The boy will live and in freedom. From now on nobody shall speak about the Kyuubi sealed in him to anyone who is in this room. As for you Danzou, disband your Né forces as I declared during my first time as hokage. If I find out that you haven't complied this time, you shall be executed as a traitor for not following your hokages order." Danzou was raging after this, but was able to control his emotions and politely replied "Of course lord Hokage. It was only to protect the village, but if you command it I will comply." Sarutobi nodded and left, ending the meeting.
It was 4 years ago that the meeting took place. A young 4-year old blond boy was happily running through the hallways of the hokage tower. Behind the young came a tired looking man with pale eyes, Hiashi Hyuuga "Hold it Naruto, calm down. The Sandaime won't go away." The young boy stopped and turned around "But Hiashi-oto-san, I want to go and see Oji-san." And with these words the blond sprinted off again. In mere moments the boy was out of Hiashi's sight and bursting into the hokage's office. Sarutobi looked and saw a blur moving towards him. Before he knew it a small boy was hugging him tightly around the waist. "Well hello Naruto, still as energetic as always." He said smiling. Naruto looked and practically started to bounce around the room. "You have no idea how energetic the kid is." said Hiashi, who just arrived. "Do you regret allowing him to stay at your compound? Sarutobi asked with a smile. Hiashi just gave a little smile and watch the boy running around the office, looking and inspecting practically everything. Both men thought back to the night 1 year ago when they found out that little Naruto was living on the street after being kicked out of the orphanage. It was then decided that the clans who vowed to protect the boy would actively protect the boy and allow him to live with the clans. But because of his unnatural stamina he would practically never get tired and to spare the clan members he would stay every week with another clan. It was the turn of the Hyuuga to look after Naruto. "Now lord hokage, why did you want me to bring Naruto here?" Hiashi asked after a moment. "You remember that at the meeting after Kyuubi's attack I said that I would have Jiraya inspect Naruto's seal." Sarutobi started. Hiashi nodded to confirm that he remembered. "Jiraya has finally returned and he will inspect the seal." Sarutobi continued. Hiashi looked around the office, but didn't saw the renowned sannin. Sarutobi noticed that Hiashi was looking around for Jiraya "He isn't in the office yet. I've send an Anbu to go and get him when you entered." A half a minute later Jiraya entered together with an Anbu wearing a dog mask. "Hey sensei, why did you interrupt my beloved research? There were some excellent subjects." Complained Jiraya to Sarutobi when he entered the office. "It's unfortunately, but I really need you to check little Naruto's seal. You do remember what I wrote you?" Sarutobi told Jiraya. The Toad Sannin looked towards the little small child and asked "Does he know about the seal?" Naruto, who was looking at the Sannin and the Dog Anbu, choose to answer "I know about the fox in my tummy." Upon hearing this Jiraya turned to the Sandaime again. Sarutobi nodded sadly "One of the civilian council members couldn't keep his mouth shut. The whole village probably knows by now. Because of that Naruto became aware of the fox." Hiashi nodded "And because some people can't tell the difference, Naruto lives with the clans that recognize him for the hero that he is." "If I knew sooner that he's treated wrongly by people, I would have returned sooner." Jiraya stated. "There is time to talk about this later. Can you check the seal now, so I can prepare an official statement. Hiashi and Naruto can fill you in about everything later." Sarutobi said. Jiraya moved Naruto to the couch and laid him on his back. He lifted the boy's shirt and asked "Do you know how to channel chakra yet?" Naruto nodded proudly "Yeah Hiashi-oto-san showed me how to do it." Jiraya looked at Hiashi, who said "I'll explain later." With a nod Jiraya turned back to Naruto and told him to channel some chakra. Naruto complied and the seal showed itself. It was silent, apart from Jiraya's mumbling while he inspected the seal. When Jiraya was finally done with inspecting the seal, Naruto jumped up and asked "well mister am I OK?" Jiraya was hesitant to answer the kids question, until Sarutobi said "Go ahead Jiraya; we decided to let him know everything since he knows about the fox anyway." Jiraya nodded and answered the question "Naruto, you are fine. The Yondaimes seal is holding. The fox will not be able to break out unless you allow it." "Thank you Jiraya, please write a report about this and then you can go back to your research." Sarutobi told Jiraya.
With a promise to write a report, Jiraya left with Naruto and Hiashi. "Care to tell me everything that has happened so far and how come you are already training the kid?" Jiraya asked when the left the office. Hiashi nodded "We will, but first let's go to the compound first." During the walk to the Hyuuga compound, Jiraya noticed the looks Naruto received from the general populace. About 9 of the 10 people they passed gave Naruto some dark menacing looks. Naruto didn't seem to notice the looks he got or just ignored them. Once at the compound Naruto rushed towards a Hyuuga woman who was playing with a small girl. "Okaa-san, Hinata, I'm back." he shouted. "Hey Naruto, how was your visit to the Hokage?" asked the woman, called Hitomi. Hinata, just waved shyly at him. "It was ok, there was a white haired weirdo who looked at my seal, but everything is ok." He answered. Hiashi greeted his wife Hitomi and their daughter before he said that he would be having a meeting with Jiraya. She nodded and continued to play with the kids. At Hiashi's study, Jiraya once more showed his serious side. "Tell me Hiashi, what happened during the years I've been gone?" he started. Hiashi nodded "The first year went by fine. Naruto was placed in the orphanage. They took care of him like he was any other orphan. He started walking and talking when he was 1 and a half, what is amazing the kid is actually very intelligent. People just thought he was a gifted child, until a certain council member spread the word about Naruto holding the Kyuubi. That was when he was about 2 and a half. Just before his third birthday he was kicked out of the orphanage. He lived on the streets for a few months, getting beaten by civilians. During 1 of these beatings he finally understood what they meant by him being a demon child. Once again he showed an intellect beyond his age. We think he made contact with the Kyuubi, but he doesn't talk about it. When we found out about him living on the street, the clans who respect the wishes of the Fourth took him in. He lives with a different clan every other week. He has an insane amount of stamina. He doesn't need to sleep as much as a normal person. Because he is so active, we decided to take turns in taking care of him. So he's living with the clans for about a year or so." Jiraya patiently listened to Hiashi, until he paused and asked "What clans take care of him?" "There are us, the Hyuuga, the Aburame, the Inuzuka, the Nara, the Akimichi and the Yamanaka." Hiashi answered. "What about the Uchiha? A potential power like Naruto, they normally would want him." Jiraya questioned. "They don't really hate him, but think that he must be detained for safety." replied Hiashi. "I see and what about his training? You mentioned that you already train him." Jiraya asked again. "I told you that he has unreal stamina and that he is very intelligent. To make sure he would be able to protect himself, we started training him. He is already close to being genin level and he's only 4." Hiashi calmly explained. Jiraya was about to ask what they train him in, but Hiashi already started to speak. "I know what you are going to ask Jiraya. Although he is not part any of the clans, we decided to teach him the family styles. There are parts of course that he can't learn due the fact that he doesn't possess the bloodline, but he learns well." Jiraya was glad to hear that at least some people took an interest in the boy's safety, but still decided to stick around. With a sannin looking over him, people might refrain of actively going after the boy.
