This is my first fanfiction so it probably sucks so don't judge me too harshly. If anyone would be willing to beta this story for me that would be awesome. Anyway, I'm going to set up a list of things that are going to be happening in this story.

First, the pairing will be exclusively Naruto x Hana x Yugito and I will be aging the other two down so they are the same age as Naruto and Yugito will be part of the leaf (How I'm going to do that whether having her be given to the leaf at a young age as part of a treaty or just having her already be part of the leaf I do not know.)

Second, Kurama will be much more helpful to Naruto, and Naruto will be smarter than in the show and will not wear his orange jumpsuits after graduating the academy.

Third, Naruto will get chakra chains but they will be a different version of the chakra chains than his mother and Mito.

Fourth, he will not use the toad contract because I am gonna have him use either my own contract that I made up or the fox contract. (but I feel like that is overdone so will probably use mine)

Finally, I plan to either give him two more affinities or just dropping his wind affinity altogether.

Edit: I fixed that whole HTML disaster that was the original first chapter oops hehe.

The Village Hidden in the Leaves was usually a rather peaceful place almost always sunny with people milling about the streets doing their day to day activities. Of course, right now that wasn't the case as most of the villagers were in shelters and the ninjas in the village were getting the rest to safety. The cause for all this happened to be the giant orange fox with nine-tails that was currently chained down a few miles outside the village after being transported there by the village leader Minato Namikaze the yondaime Hokage. The Hokage was a relatively tall man with spiky yellow hair that had two bangs framing his face. He wore blue pants that stopped above his shins the rest of his legs were wrapped in bandages. On his upper body, he wore a gray long sleeve shirt underneath a green flak jacket and a white cloak with red flames on the bottom. The young Hokage was also carrying a small bundle in his arms. This bundle happened to be a baby boy with whisker marks on his cheeks, and a tuft of hair as yellow as Minato's on his head.

"Kushina I'm sorry but we need to seal the fox inside of Naruto," Minato said to a redheaded woman who was also in the clearing and the source of the large golden chains that were holding down the fox.

"Minato you can't be serious you know how he'll be treated because of the fox, we can't do that to our son," The woman now identified as Kushina said with tears in her eyes.

"I know how they'll treat him but what else can I do, you're too weak to take the fox back into yourself, and Naruto is the only other person of Uzumaki blood that we know of," Minato said with a sigh, "Besides I can't just ask another family to give up their child if I'm not willing to give up my own," he finished now looking sadly down at the baby in his arms as Kushina just nodded grimly knowing there was no other option. Minato then set up an altar in front of the giant fox putting the baby down on top of it. He then began drawing a seal matrix on the child and himself.

A few minutes later Minato had finished drawing the seals and began rapidly going through hand signs as the form of the Shinigami appeared behind him. Using the Shiki Fuujin he sealed half of the Kyuubi into himself, but as he was about to seal the other half into Naruto the fox using a lapse in Kushina's concentration shot a clawed hand towards Naruto in hopes to kill the boy before he could be sealed. Minato and Kushina seeing this jumped in front of the claw both getting impaled but managing to stop it before the baby could be killed.

"Well Kushina we better give the boy our last words before we have to leave him," Minato said looking at his wife.

"Naruto. Don't be picky. Eat lots and grow strong. Make sure that you bathe every day and stay warm. Also. Don't stay up late. You need lots of sleep. And make friends. You don't need a lot of friends. Just a few. Ones you can really, really trust. I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies. Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. So don't get too depressed if you can't do something well. Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy. Oh and this is important. It's about the Three Prohibitions for a shinobi. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Put your mission wages into your savings account. No alcohol until your twenty. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation. Another prohibition is women. All you need to remember is that the world is made of men and women. So it's only natural to take interest in girls. But just don't get hooked on a bad one. Find somebody just like me. Also be wary of Jiraiya," Kushina said before looking over to her husband, "Sorry Minato I used all your time," she said with a sad tone of voice.

"It's fine Kushina I'll just have to keep mine short," he said giving her a grin, "Alright Naruto I was basically going to say what your mother just said, especially the part about Jiraiya Sensei, so I'll just add that I hope you become a brilliant ninja and I'm sorry we had to do this to you," he finished with tears in his eyes as he finished the last hand seal, "Hakke Fuin!" he said using the last of his strength to seal the second half of the Kyuubi into his son as his eyes closed slowly.

Nobody noticed the foxes eyes change from a red eye with a small pupil surrounded by three tomoe to its normal red slitted eyes, and a look of concern and sadness pass over its face before it faded into the seal.
