Hey Everyone! I'm Hyuga-Hanyou-Lover but call me Hanyou-Lover! This is chapter one...rewritten.
Disclaimer -The wondrous show of Naruto does not belong to me, it belongs to the Great Masashi Kishimoto. But, if I did own it, I would make it go like this story does. And once again, thank you Sasu.
Our story begins in a small village; the Whirlpool village to be exact. A small child was just rising from a nap. At closer inspection, it was a girl. The girl's name was Nami Uzumaki, and she just happened to be turning three on that day. She had an excited aura about her, too.
Nami hated Kimono's. Surprisingly, her mother wasn't making her wear one, unlike usual days. She slipped on a gray tank top and a pair of black ninja pants. Her mother, Kyo, put her hair up in a pony tail. She looked very pretty with her kitsune ears pocking out of her long hair.
Nami heard a knock on the door and she sped to open in. When she did, she squealed like a fan girl would squeal over a shirtless Sasuke. The people standing at the door with pleased smiles were some she didn't expect to see; her Uncle Mini and her Auntie Kushi. She ran to hug them. Minato and Kushina hugged the girl right back, with equal force. Kushina, like Nami's mother, was pregnant. She poked her aunts belly, not ungentle.
"Aunt Kushi, baby's name?" Asked the pale eyed little girl. She was intrigued by the aspect of a new baby.
"His name is Naruto," said the red-head with a smile to her niece. She was so curious about everything.
"Really, his name is after ramen? That is so cool!" said the birthday girl. She giggled with delight. Her voice was a quite bit higher than other girls her age. She ran into the kitchen where her step father was residing, poking around the cupboards.
"Oh, hello! Kushina, Minato." said Kyo as she walked out of the kitchen in a light blue maternity dress, her flaming red hair falling just past her shoulders. The two sisters looked alike...hair wise, anyway
"Kyo!" Kushina hugged her sister. When Kushina moved to Konoha, she had left her family. It was good to be back, if only for a visit.
The two chatted about names and such for a bit before finishing their lunch. They had a pretty good meal. It was more like a banquet, though.
After that, Nami got to open her presents. From her mommy and step dad, she got a practice katana to start training. Unbeknownst to her, she wouldn't excel in swords. From Kushina, she got a ring with a red ruby on it, which was very thoughtful of her, considering ruby was her birthstone. On the back it read, "From your Auntie Kushi, July 15."
Her last gift was from her uncle; a necklace shaped like a star. It was made of a dark purple material. It was very pretty and she immediately put it on. A smile grew on her face from just wearing it.
"Nami," Minato started. "Try to flow chakra into your eyes." He fixed her with an intense stare, scaring her.
"'O-okay." Nami focused chakra in her eyes, with minor difficulty. The veins around her eyes popped. She gasped.
"Ah! I see everyone's chakra!" Nami shrieked and released her control on accident. She fell to her knees, suddenly feeling weary.
"I was right; she does have the Byakugan." Stated Minato. He took on a thinking pose, looking a tad troubled. He picked up the small girl and sat her on a nearby chair.
"I'm going to bed. Night, night." said Nami with a yawn. She meandered off to her room. The group looked around at each other solemnly.
After Nami was sound asleep, the adults talked. A few hours went by before they actually got serious.
"I have to seal Ku. He is on his way to destroy the Leaf, so I will seal him into our son." Minato put his arm around his very pregnant wife.
Ku was the current Kyuubi vessel and was the brother of both Kushina and Kyo. With Nami being the eldest royalty of the Hyuga clan, she would inherit the role of leader at age sixteen.
Soon after, Minato and Kushina left for Konoha. They would come visit again in a few months…if all went as planned.
Two Months Later
Konoha
"Minato you can't do this, let me!" Pleaded the third Hokage with unrestrained desperation lacing his voice. He had a sorrowful look placed on his face, dripping from his eyes. He couldn't let his successor do this; he wouldn't. Sarutobi looked around at the dead bodies littering the ground, surrounding them.
"I can't let you." said the yellow flash with a determination in his eyes. How could he give away someone else's life? How could he, when he had the means to save many? He couldn't ask this of anyone.
"Minato, let me seal the Kyuubi! Kushina already died during his birth and he will grow up alone! Please…" Minato felt his heart waver at that statement. He had only held his boy for a moment, but he knew that he would die, kill, conquer the world and give it all to his Naruto, need he only ask. The young boy would have a terrible life without his parents, especially while hosting a demon. Minato had to live. The old man touched the baby's face as he slept.
"Fine," he handed Naruto to Sarutobi and looked away from the old man, a tear running down his bloodied face. At least Naruto would have a parent. At least there's that. He turned away from the old man.
The third approached the defeated Kyuubi and sealed him into baby Naruto, losing his life. It was a dreary day as Minato spread the news to whoever was alive and well enough to hear it. He kept the new jinjuriki with him . The village experienced it's first truly torn day. But alas, the fourth Hokage had to get back to work.
Many papers, dirty diapers and angry villagers later, Minato left the Hokage tower. A numbness guarded his heart that would never fade away, and if it tried, he would drag it back with his own blood-stained hands.
Two Years Later
It was around two in the morning. Everyone in the Whirlpool village was fast asleep. Grass ninja seeped into the village by the hundred and set fire to everything; all to kill those "damned demons." There might have been hundreds of them…might have been thousands.. They had planned for none to live.
House fires sprang to life around the tiny village. It was only a matter of time before it would be completely demolished.
Nami woke to a smoke filled room and an unbearable heat.. She looked into the hall and saw her parents sitting, burning on the floor with wooden stakes on fire shoved through their bodies. Her mother and stepfather had perished. She ran past them, shoving her emotions aside, and woke her tiny sister.
"Kasumi, we must flee. There is a fire. Grab my tail- don't let go!" Yelled Nami through the roar of the flames. Tears were streaming down her young face. She felt herself aging more in those terrible moments than she ever had in the past five years. She focused on her sister; she was all that mattered now. She turned and grabbed the few scrolls hidden in her dresser and shoved them in a bag she found in her mother's room.
"Okay, Onee-Chan," said a small reddish brown-headed kitsune. She was obviously half-awake. She was barely two years old. She stumbled when she walked still.
Nami grabbed the necklace her uncle had given her a year ago and poured chakra into it. The two suddenly disappeared without a trace, just as a band of raiders broke through their window with knives aimed at their heads.
They appeared on Minato's shoulders, sobbing, sweaty, and shaking. He jumped up out of his bed, startled. As soon as she knew she was safe, Nami passed out with exhaustion; never before had she teleported with her necklace, let alone teleport her sister as well across many countries. Seeing the two almost falling asleep, he sat them on the couch. Puzzled, Minato went back to his bed.
When morning came, he asked Nami why she was there. She explained what happened the night before with tears streaming down her five-year old cheeks. Minato just nodded and told her that he would send someone to look after them.
It was a female who he sent. Her name was Yuugao. She was really nice and even helped Nami train a bit. She cooked the group a nice lunch and played what ever random game came into their small heads, even if Nami was a bit detached. She finally left at about five, when Minato came home.
One Year Later
Five year old Nami Uzumaki was walking to the academy. When she arrived she met a boy named Itachi; he was year older than her. She respected him because he was not only brave, but was not opposed to speaking with a girl younger than him. She also met a girl named Anko that was two years older. Anko reminded her of her mother. The three quickly became friends. With the each of the three being younger than their classmates, their bond grew.
During their time in the academy, they became the top three ninja students; they had mastered the first two years of the academy in a few months with no hitches. Itachi was a master at jutsu and accuracy. Anko mastered Tai-jutsu and never missed her target while a katana was in her grasp. Nami had mastered the Hyuga Gentle Fist, but to do so she had to beg the Hyuga clan not to seal her. She could also use the elemental jutsu- she controlled shadows, wind, fire and lightning.
Over this time period, Kasumi turned into a hyper little girl and had an affinity for light, earth, water, and fire. Surprisingly, Naruto too had gained a few skills. He could use his chakra impressively.
After a year, Itachi, Anko, and Nami graduated together and they were assigned a sensei. The three were still very young so they were assigned very last. Their Sensei's was a woman named Rin. She was small and lithe, like a cat.
"Okay students, meet me on the roof." Their sensei told them after being assigned.
"Yes, Sensei." They said in unison.
When they arrived on the roof, they sat down. Anko sat on the ground, while Itachi and Nami sat on the railing. It was actually kind of a funny looking team. A wild looking girl with purple hair, an Uchiha, and a Hyuga with ears and a tail. Rin giggled. She supposed that, if they passed, she was in for an interesting experience with these kids.
"We are going to go around in a circle and say a few things about ourselves. I'll go first. My name is Rin. I am nineteen. I like reading and I like being a medic ninja. I dislike perverted books like Icha, Icha. My hobby is reading and kicking butt. And my goal is to turn you into top ninja. Your turn, Uchiha." Rin finished with a proper flourish of her hand.
"I am Itachi Uchiha, I'm seven. I like learning new jutsu and when Nami wins eating contests. It really is funny. I dislike scum who hurt my teammates. My hobby is training with Anko and Nami. My goal is to rebuild my clan and destroy Orochimaru for wiping them out in the first place and putting the curse seal on Anko." It was crazy how serious a seven-year old could be, Rin observed.
"Tails, you're up!" Rin decided to just move on.
"I am Nami Uzumaki/Namikaze. I am 6. I like eating ramen and being with my team. I also like when people pet my ears, it feels very nice. I dislike Grass ninja; they killed my mother and stepfather. I also dislike the Hyuga clan; they killed my father before I was born. My goal is to rebuild the Uzumaki clan and to become the top ANBU like my aunt Kushina was." Said the Hanyou with purple tails. Nami looked over at her two best friends with a sadness in her eyes that always appeared when her past came into conversation.
"I am Anko. I'm 8. I like snakes and dango. I dislike many things. My goal is to kill Orochimaru." said Anko. "Oh yeah! I want to be in the T&I department!" Rin could not believe she got stuck with the damaged group…all for the better, they were so young. She could train the to full potential.
"Meet at the training grounds. Six in the morning. You will complete your test then or head back to school." With that, she disappeared.
"I am going home. See you guys tomorrow." Nami walked off, wondering if she was truly good enough yet.
Please review! ;D Oh yeah and T&I stands for the Torture and Interrogation department, where Ibiki works. So yeah please keep reading! anything to say Sasu?
Sasu- Yo'. I like the plot twits. They fit. And uh, review for the lovely author, would you?
