How it all started.
The land of whirlpool was a small village, but very peaceful in nature. The village had a shinobi clan, the Uzumaki clan, known worldwide for their skills in sealing jutsus. Right now the family of the Uzumaki clan had gathered for a meeting to discuss rumors the village would be involved in a war. The village was a peaceful nation which didn't advocate war, but if the rumors was true, they would have no choice.
"What can we do? If the village is attacked there are risks our clan will be utterly destroyed!" The clan leader Kazuki Uzumaki sat at the table beside his wife Yuri Uzumaki. Her worry visible in her face ready to let the tears flow.
"I'm worried about our daughter Kazuki. Kushina has just started to learn our sealing jutsu, but she has begun to master it with ease. She has a great talent for it."
"I'm proud of our daughter, Yuri." Kazuki nodded, "I'm sure she will be a strong leader for our clan in the future. But now that the war is getting close, what will we do? I don't want my daughter to stay here if a war would break out; Kushina is our clan's future. There for we must make a decision about her now!"
"IF the war comes, maybe we could send her to another village?" Ken, a councilmen suggested. "Lady Mito-sama is still alive and living in Konoha. From what I have heard from her, she is getting too weak to keep the kyuubi sealed in her body. We all know that to keep the kyuubi sealed away safely they need another host. A younger..."
"Ken, are you telling me we should send away Kushina, my only daughter, to konoha only to turn her into a Jinchuriki!" Yuri said loudly, making Ken flinch.
"Well we haven't many options here Yuri-sama. Even though that could save Kushina from this war; letting her live a new life in Konoha. And We don't even know when the enemy will attack."
Yuri frowned but understood what Ken was saying. But it dosen't mean she had to like it. She looked at her husband hoping he would protest but he didn't.
"Yuri-sama, please understand the situation. It might save Kushina from this. We all know if the enemy would come, every single shinobi in our village will be needed. We are proud, we won't go down for anyone so easy; we are the Uzumaki clan! We are feared by the enemy because of our skills in sealing and our fighting style. Kushina-san doesn't deserve to watch her family be in a battle which will end with a bloodbath of her own friends and village."
"I'll send a message to the Sandaime Hokage, asking him if Konoha can take in our daughter. If they want her as the new host of the kyuubi then let it be so, but only if they can protect her. Konoha won't say no. The bond between konoha and our clan are still intact thanks to Mito-sama."
"This meeting is over." Kazuki gave those gathered a look; it was the beginning of the end.
Yuri and Kazuki walked to they daughter's room where she was sleeping. Yuri sat beside Kushina's bed, caressing her daughter's face.
"I'm so sorry for this Kushina. I wish we could be with you when you grow up, but it looks we can't. Be strong."
Yuri walked out, tears falling from her eyes.
Next morning.
"Kaa-chan, tou-san!" A seven year old girl screamed and ran to the dining room.
"Kushina, you don't need scream." Kazuki said amused how much energy their daughter had.
"Gomen, tou-san but I can't help it! I'm so excited, you promised you would teach me more about our family's fuuinjutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu and taijutsu.!"
"I did, but first we need to talk Kushina." Kazuki nodded.
"Okay." Kushina said frowning. She sat down and Yuri come in and also sat at the table.
"Kushina-chan, do you remember when you were being taught about our family's history?"
"Hai, you told me that Mito-sama got married to a Senju a long time ago and now she lives in that village." Kushina said while nodding; trying to remember the village's name. "Which was called... Konoha, I think"
"Yes, you're right kushina. But there are other things you need to know. As you know our village is well hidden, and it was for a good reason, but now it looks our village is going be involved in a war. The enemies fear our clan and want to destroy it."
Kushina frowned. Feeling a bit worried now. "But Tou-san what's going happen to us? Will we be killed?"
"Kushina-chan, as you know you are going be our family's leader in the future. There for, we can't risk you get killed. We want protect you, Kushina-chan. And there for the clan members have suggested that you are to leave the village and live in Konoha.
"Mito-sama is there and will be excepting you. We are just waiting for an answer from the Hokage, the Sandaime."
"NO; I don't want to leave you!"
"Kushina, you're important to our family. We are ready to sacrfice everything to make sure you'll survive this. Please just do what we are saying Kushina, just one more time."
"We will teach you more about our jutsu. We will also give you some scrolls about the jutsu we won't able to teach you before you have to leave."
Kushina had tears in her eyes. Yuri stood up and walked to Kushina and hugged her. "I'm so sorry for this my dear. But as long as you are safe we won't heasitate to fight to the death. We are Uzumaki, we aren't going to give up so easy, we will hold our head high even to the death."
That whole day, Kushina was trained and was taught about her family jutsus and hiden taijutsu.
The answer from Konoha come quicker then everyone thought it would. The Sandaime had accepted and wrote that Konoha would be honored to have the future leader of the Uzumaki clan in their village. Shinobi would soon be sent to come and get her, making sure, Kushina would have a safe trip to Konoha. Kushina was told to pack the important things she wanted take with her to Konoha.
So there she was in her room with a few scrolls to seal things which she held most important.
She was sad about leaving her family and her village. But it wasn't that she didn't understand her family. Every member of they clan saw her doing different and new seals everyday. They would always say she was a genius in the clan and would be a great leader for the future.
"Now i have to pack everything I want to have with me, to move to konoha... How will I be able to live there without Kaa-chan and Tou-san? I want them there, but they need to be here and fight with the rest of the clan. I just hope they will survive this, even if the chances are small, please kami, let them survive."
"Kushina-chan? Are you here?" Yuri asked as she walked in.
"Kaa-chan?" Kushina looked up and saw Yuri holding a couple of scrolls.
"Kushina-chan these are the scrolls of jutsu, and other things you need to learn when you arrive in Konoha."
Kushina nodded running up to Yuri and hugging her tight. Yuri smiled a small smile and put the scrolls on the desk and hugged her daughter one last time,
"Don't cry Kushina-chan, be strong my dear. You need to be brave for all of us. Grow up and be a strong kunoichi and show the world how strong the Uzumaki truly are."
"I will make your proud."
"Kushina, we are already proud of you; the whole clan is happy to have you. We know you will go a long way and who knows, you might find your soulmate in Konoha?" He mother said, a slight twinkle in her eye.
Kushina shrugged. "Hopefully not."
Yuri laughed and kissed Kushina's forehead.
"Lady Yuri-sama? The shinobi from Konoha are here." The messenger appearing at the door said.
"Kushina, take your things and come with me."
Kushina did what she was told and put the rest of the scrolls in the bag and followed her mother.
Outside was all the members of clan waiting and with them two strange shinobi from Konoha. Kushina gasped softly. She knew those faces. Even though the village was hidden everyone knew about the sannin.
Tsunade walked forward bending down. "So this is Kushina Uzumaki? It's a pleasure to meet the future clan leader of the Uzumaki, right Jiraiya?"
Jiraiya nodded. "Yeah, now I understand why our hokage wanted us to take her back to Konoha. You're a bit famous in Konoha"
Kushina blushed "What do you mean?"
"When the academy students heard the future clan leader of the Uzumaki clan was coming to Konoha they all started to ask questions about the Uzumaki. They finally learned that Mito-sama was from the Uzumaki clan and she was a strong kunoichi." Tsunade said softly; not wanting to overwhelm the girl during what had to be a sad and stressful experience.
Kushina blushed even more.
"Yeah, they might want to be careful, Kushina is a genius already. She has already begun to master the fuuinjutsu of our clan." Yuri said proud of her daughter.
"Really? Then I bet you and Minato would be awesome friends" Jiraiya said.
Kushina become curious. "Who's Minato?"
"A kid he is teaching; a prodigy from the Namikaze clan in Konoha."
"I have heard of that clan. That Minato-kun is the only namikaze left in Konoha?" Yuri asked.
Jiraiya nodded.
"Well then, it's time. Kushina-chan, promise us you will behave and be a strong kunoichi." Yuri said tears in her eyes. Kushina gulped and tried to hold back her tears. She only nodded, not daring to trust her voice.
"Please protect her" Yuri whispered to Tsunade, getting a nod and smile from the famous medic-nin.
"Don't worry, we will protect her with our life and take her to Konoha."
Yuri gave Kushina another, last final hug.
"Be careful now my dear."
Everyone said goodbye to Kushina who looked even more sad; knowing she might never see her family again.
Tsunade lifted up Kushina in her arms. Even though kushina was trained, she wasn't ready to do a cross country trip; after all she was just seven years old.
From then Kushina would start her new life in Konoha. Unaware of what she would find in konoha.
