Prologue- The Day That Kyuubi Attacked and was Sealed

As the fires around the village were swiftly being put out, the Sandaime rushed to the site of the Yondaime's finally battle. The Cries and the screams of the wounded throughout the streets. Hundreds of corpses littered the ground.

When Sarutobi reached the sight, he stilled momentarily when he saw something that would haunt him until the end of his days. There besides the fallen Yondaime's body lay a young child curled up and Hatake Kakashi standing above the curled form, with kunai in hand, screaming, "That Demon must die!"

As the blade punched down into the child's frail shoulder, the Sandaime struck him in the chest with an immobilization jutsu.

"Don't hurt him!" cried the child, a small girl, while the kunai stuck out of her bleeding shoulder. She flinched up at Sandaime as he gently turned her towards him so he could she face. In her arm laid a small babe. She pointed at the Yondaime's crumbled form, and cried, "He told me to keep Naruto-chan safe. He did, he really, really did!"

"You did, little one, you did," Sarutobi crooned as he lifted her up into his arms, after pulling out the kunai. "You kept him safe."
