Hello Hello.

Welcome to my very first fan-fiction. Some of you may recognize this story from my account on Quotev, I am now posting here on the lovely fan fiction . com as well as revamping this story! So some things you will want to know about this story, if you are not up to the Fourth Great Ninja War arc there will be spoilers. So... sorry bout that. Also I have made some original art for this story as well, so check it out on my profile I'll have the links up there soon! I really hope everyone enjoys this story and please note I looooove reviews, even flames. Fair warning though, if you can not express your displeasure in a respectful manner... I will retaliate in kind. Thank you and Good day. Also I do not have a Beta but would love one so feel free to holla back if anyone is interested. The more reviews I get the faster I will update... review responses will be posted at the beginning of every chapter. Okay, now onto the Prologuish Chapter 1 which basically just lays down the past knowledge so your not scratching your chin all through chapter 1.

Discaimer-no-jutsu: I do not own Naruto or it's characters/plot lines. They all belong to Lord Kishimoto, respect his epicness. If you can't recognize original storylines from canon... well I'm not sure why your even on this site. It's called fan-fiction for a reason people, any true fan knows what I mean. Ne?

_The Third Hokage's POV(Shortly after the Kyuubi attack)_

"We do not have a complete list of the causalities yet as the rescue efforts are still taking place, but we had managed to evacuate most of the civilians in time. There are many injured but they are being treated in the hospital and emergency centre. There was a substantial amount of damage done to the exterior part of the village. We should be able to start rebuilding in 2 days, once the excavation has been completed." The Anbu standing in front of me stated waiting for my command. 'Minato... how did this happen. Biwako.. I'm so sorry' I think to myself allowing myself a moment to grieve my dead wife and disciple before returning my gaze to the Anbu in front of me.

"Very well, return to the emergency centre and ensure the safety of those inside. Inform me immediately when the rescue efforts are completed... " I trail off not wanting to think that she, who I consider to be my own granddaughter has also perished alongside her parents. "Or when you find her"

"Yes Lord Hokage" The Anbu responded before bowing and transporting out of the room.

With the Anbu gone I now sat in my empty office with my hands folded in front of my face and my chin resting on my hands, reviewing the night's incidence remembering all the things I could have done, I should have done. I was suppose to protect the village with my life but instead I had pushed the responsibility onto Minato so that I could live a peaceful life with my family. 'This is my punishment, it is my fault Minato and Kushina are dead, my fault my wife is gone, my fault their son has had to become a Jinchurriki and my fault their precious daughter is missing.' I think to myself, praying and wishing I could take it all back, I could bring them all back. I feel a small tear rolling down my cheek as I see the flash that always precedes Minato's teleportation jutsu. I immediately stand and begin approaching the blonde who is standing on all fours in front of my desk.

"Anael... is that you?" I ask, hearing all my hopes in the question.

As soon as she hears my voice, she raises her head and smiles at me saying. "Old man... I finally found you." I can see just by glancing that she was pretty beaten up. Red seeping into her yellow top where she had been stabbed. 'Stabbed, then these wounds are not from the Kyuubi..' I think to myself as she tries to stand stumbling a few times before regaining her balance. The smile slips from her face as she looks at me a serious glint in her eye that is rarely seen since she is such a happy go lucky girl. "Old man.. you must listen I do not have much time, it is taking everything I have to fight his Jutsu, I will soon lose consciousness. He will return for us, Naruto and I. You must not let him get the Kyuubi... protect my brother..." As soon as the words have left her mouth I see her fall face first toward the ground. I reach out and grab the young girl before she falls and hold her in my arms.

"ANAEL... ANAEL wake up, who did this to you?!" I scream at her in a panic, fearing the young girl was dead.

My wife's best friend comes into my office seeing me holding the unconscious girl. "Lord Hokage.. What has happened? Is that Anael!"

"Lady Anso.. she, she just collapsed. Please I can't lose her too." I say to the woman not caring that there are tears in my eyes. Anael has been special to me since the day she was born, none could compare to her, she was as much my family as my own sons were.

"Let me look at her." Anso says gently reaching to take Anael from me and lay her gently on the ground. I sat there on my knees watching as Anso used her Medical Nin-jutsu to check her over and heal her wounds.

"She will be fine physically, there were a few wounds but none were too deep and I have already finished with the major healing. But her mind..." Lady Anso says not removing her eyes from the young girl she is healing.

"What is wrong with her mind.. I don't understand." I ask.

"Well I'm not exactly sure myself.. it appears as if her mind has been trapped in some kind of jutsu, but I have no idea what kind. I can try to remove it, but it is very risky, there is the chance that we could do more harm then good." Lady Anso replies looking up to see my reaction.

"What would you suggest then?" I ask staring at the women in front of me.

"Well I would suggest having Tsunade take a look at her. She is the most skilled medical ninja the leaf has, if anyone can break the justu it would be her. But even with Lady Tsunade we will still be running a huge risk of damaging Anael's brain, it may be best to just wait until the justu wears off or Anael is able to break it herself." Lady Anso replies.

"We cannot summon Tsunade here now, it will draw too much attention. Anael said that the person who had cast the jutsu would return for her and Naruto.. we have no choice but to hide her until she or we are able to break the justu. We will erase all memory of her from the village and declare her dead for the time being, that way whoever is responsible will have a hard time locating her thinking she left the village. As for Naruto we will keep an eye on him until he is able to defend himself and is old enough to know the truth. " I said immediately formulating a plan to keep Anael and Naruto safe.

"But Lord Third what of all those in the village who know and care for Anael, how can we have them believe that she is dead. And her brother will he grow up thinking he has no family left at all." Lady Anso said concern clearly showing on her face.

"I understand that many will suffer because of this, but it is the only way I can ensure their safety. We will make everything to do with Anael, the Kyuubi and the attack forbidden and ensure no one speak of it again. Naruto will be camouflaged in the village and Anael will be safe while we figure out how to undo the jutsu. You and I will be the only ones that know of her location, can I count on you to care for and hide her?" I say looking directly at Anso, so that she could see the determination in my eyes. ' I will protect your children Minato I owe you that much.'

"Yes Lord Hokage of course you can, Anael is very special to me as well." Lady Anso replies smiling down at the girl.

"Very well then, we shall never speak of this night again." I say looking out into the once peaceful village a million thoughts going through my head.

"Understood" Lady Anso replies before picking up the girl and taking her to the place we had decided to hide her.
