Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto just this story
Minato and Kushina are sitting down in there house there deep in discussion. Kushina sighs "Minato-Kun, I have a bad feeling about our baby's birth."
Minato looks at his wife "What do you mean, is something wrong with our son."
She shakes her head "No, there's nothing wrong I just fear for him, you know what happens when jinchūriki are pregnant, the seal weakens, it would be an ideal time for the Kyuubi to be released."
He nods "I know, if something happens to you we will seal the Kyuubi in our son, but we will be there for him."
She bangs her fist on the table "And what happens if something happens to us both, what then, what if I died giving birth and something happens to you our son will have nobody."
Minato rubs his chin "If that is the case, then I will make them treat our son properly."
She sighs "I am not as confident as you are about this village and its people, not everyone likes me Minato-Kun, so what do you think will happen to our baby boy."
He nods "So what do we do."
Kushina smiles "Mifune, he's one of our oldest friends have him take Naruto, it would be better to be around someone who will treat him right, not the people here."
Minato's confused "Are you saying you don't trust Hiruzen."
She sighs "I do trust him, but he's an Old man, if something happened to you then he would probably take over, he can't look after our boy, then there's Danzo, that man is a power hungry freak, he will use our son as a weapon do you want that because I don't."
"Mikoto I trust with my life she's my best friend, Kakashi is like a son to us, Yugao is like a daughter but we both know the council will never let anyone take Naruto in, you know that and I certainly know that. Leaving Mifune, as our only alternative."
Minato sighs "You make some good points, but he will have friends his age to help him."
Kushina sighs "No, he won't the village will make up lies turn them against our son Mifune is the only way."
Minato nods "You may be right, OK, I will write to Mifune, I will tell him to send someone to monitor our son, if the village treats him as they should then that's OK, if not he will take him."
Kushina sighs "Fine."
Night of Naruto's Birth
A man in a black cloak with an Orange mask attacks Kushina after she gave birth to Naruto, as she feared and what happens was the Kyuubi was released. Hours later there were reports of the Kyuubi coming towards the village.
Kushina's very weak she's holding her baby in her arms crying she's been told by a nurse that she's dying she looks at her son Naruto "Don't cry Naruto, mommy's here, you're such a beautiful boy. I'm so sorry I won't be able to see you grow up and train you, please forgive me, I love you so much."
Just then Minato bursts into the room he sees Kushina his wife holding their son Naruto and smiles 'My little man, I'm so sorry to do this to you, I'm so sorry my son please forgive me, Know that I love you never forget that.'
He looks at Kushina "It's time, Kushina, it has to be done."
She looks at her son then her husband "Are you sure there is no other way."
Minato sits on the bed beside his son and wife "I'm sorry my love, But I have searched everything this is the only way, Mifune has sent a man to watch our son. I heard it seems your fears have come true we will both die, I'm so sorry."
She looks at him "You mean you're going to do the Shiki Fūjin, you know it will kill you and our baby will be alone, you must find another way."
Minato sighs "There's no time Kushi-Hime, the Kyuubi is upon us, now I need to take him."
Kushina at first is reluctant to give her baby up Minato knows it's just killing her, this will be the last time she sees her son. She looks at Minato and knows this is painful for him also she kisses her son on the forehead and each cheek "Naruto, my little Sochi, know that Mommy loves you, and always will never forget that, grow and become strong, my beautiful baby boy."
Minato smiles although it's kind of forced "Look he's smiling he knows." He then picks up Naruto from Kushina's arms he sees her crying "I am so sorry my love; I never wanted this for our son."
Minato and Kushina share a kiss until they hear a cough and see Hiruzen, I know this will be sad but let me take a picture of the three of you I will give it to Naruto when he's older."
They nod and Hiruzen personally takes the picture. Then Minato leaves with Naruto, leaving Kushina crying for her baby knowing she will never see him or her husband again. Hiruzen looks at them he's heard about his wife being killed so he just leaves, he isn't aware of what Minato is doing.
A short while after Hiruzen leaves the door opens and in comes Mikoto Uchiha, Kushina's best friends and Naruto's godmother she knows Kushina will die. She enters the room and sits next to Kushina and hugs her best friend "I just heard, I'm so sorry."
Kushina nods "Yes, I'm going to die, Miko, please look after my son your godson; don't let them treat him as a weapon, please."
Mikoto smiles "I will do all I can Kushi, I promise you that."
Kushina sniffs "You're a good friend Miko."
Mikoto sighs "Just rest, you'll be fine."
Kushina smiles "Liar, I hate this I just know the village won't treat my son right, I wanted to teach him everything and now it will never happen." Mikoto nods knowing it's probably true. She will do all she can to make his life as normal as possible, well she hopes she will be able to the Council are going to try and control his life.
Five Years Later
Minato's last wish that Naruto would be seen as a hero was ignored like both he and his wife feared. He was put in an Orphanage, but he was picked on bullied, spat at, thrown out of shops, he was treated like an outcast.
Mikoto was never able to adopt him neither was Kakashi or Yūgao, they could only watch him as best they could which was not enough. Naruto's birthdays were the worst, he's always attacked by the villagers, just like today his 5th birthday, he's yet again running for his life, the Orphanage kicked him out permanently so now he's homeless and at the mercy of the villagers.
Mikoto had to watch her godson treated like a monster, bullied for something he never did, they couldn't do anything she hated this for Naruto, Kakashi, Yūgao and Itachi watched the villagers treat Naruto like a monster, sometimes Kakashi had to hold Yūgao back from killing the villagers, Kakashi wanted to do it also.
The watcher that Mifune sent to watch over Naruto is disgusted so he wrote to Mifune, he did write that there are people watching over him but it's not enough. Mifune replied that it's not enough and it's time to take Naruto as Kushina and Minato wanted.
Mifune marched 140 Samurai with him, his wife Katana (Not sure what his wife was called) and a young man of 15 called Kazama Nazawaguchi, who would be Naruto's bodyguard growing up, to guard him with his life.
Mifune and his small army reached the gates they knocked out the two guards to stop them from warning anyone (Not Kotetsu/Izumo). They then marched into the village scaring the villagers. The watcher of Naruto approaches Mifune "My lord, there hunting Naruto this very moment, they call it the Fox Hunt there cruel parasites."
Mifune snarls "Take me to him now."
The small army makes their way to Naruto, they see men, women and even Shinobi attacking Naruto. Mifune then shouts "Get away from the boy now."
One of the Shinobi scoffs "Were killing the demon this is not your concern."
Mifune turns to his archers "Riddle him with arrows."
The Shinobi was too surprised to even move and within 30 seconds 15 arrows are sticking in his body making him a human pincushion. Mifune ignores him "Move away from the boy or you will join that parasite in death."
Most of the villagers and some of the Shinobi fearing for their lives back away and run off. At least 15 don't and they all join that stupid idiot who died earlier. Mifune doesn't care about them he warned them twice they got what they deserved.
Katana crouches down and looks at Naruto "He's quite badly hurt my love but he's already healing."
Mifune just nods "20 Archers and 50 men guard my wife, Naruto and Kazama the rest come with me." Mifune then turns away and heads towards the Hokage Tower as they arrive at the tower several ANBU arrive, Mifune steps forward "Move aside or I'll cut you down this does not concern you so move."
The ANBU move to the side but do follow Mifune who makes his way inside the tower. The receptionist tries to stop him but a Samurai puts his blade to her throat so she backs down. Mifune then stops at the door and pulls out his Katana and cuts down the door.
Inside Hiruzen and his three advisors are talking when the door gets cut into four pieces, Hiruzen looks up "Mifune, what is the meaning of this."
Mifune looks at the three advisors then just tosses a letter at Hiruzen who catches it and starts to read it. As Hiruzen is reading the letter Mifune speaks "This village has not headed the late Yondaime's will so Naruto is coming with me."
Hiruzen sighs as he's read the letter addressed to him from the late Yondaime, Minato Namikaze. "A contingency plan, I see very well."
Danzo growls "Let me see that letter."
Mifune glares at him "This does not concern you, you decrepit old fool, you have no say in anything, so know your place."
Danzo grins "ROOT."
Six ROOT appear but are immediately riddled with arrows. Mifune grins "Next time, it will be you who dies Danzo, now I'm taking Naruto."
Danzo growls "He is our weapon."
An arrow just whizzes past his ear "He is a child not a weapon, you freak, the next time I see you I will kill you." He then smirks and leaves the room.
He finds his wife at a place called Ichiraku's Mifune sees Naruto eating Ramen, Katana sees him and approaches her husband "He's on his 5th bowl already, so how did it go."
Mifune sighs "As expected, Danzo was there and tried attacking me with his little army but my archers took them down, He calls him a weapon."
Katana scoffs "He is a little child nothing more Kushina would be disappointed."
After the 6th bowl they all leave, Kazama has hold of his young charge as he's as light as a feather. He's just behind Mifune and Katana, as they reach the gate one of the Samurai's informs Mifune that the Hokage is at the gate.
Mifune steps forward "Are you here attempting to stop us old friend."
Hiruzen shakes his head "No, my friend, I just wish to give you several scrolls, he passes him the first scroll "This scroll contains Kushina and Minato's Katana's" He passes him a second scroll "This scroll contains "All the finances of Kushina and Minato, the council think they're entitled to it which they are not."
He passes him a third scroll "This scroll contains Kushina and Minato's Taijutsu, Kenjutsu, Fūinjutsu and Ninjutsu, now I know that Samurai do not use Jutsu's but I don't want them to fall into the wrong hands they are Uzumaki and Namikaze Clan Jutsu's so only an Uzumaki and Namikaze should have them."
Mifune nods "Naruto will learn the Uzumaki and Namikaze Taijutsu and Kenjutsu styles, The Fūinjutsu and Ninjutsu will be sealed, if he does decide not to be a Samurai he will be allowed to learn them."
Hiruzen nods "I understand, for what it's worth, I tried to look out for Naruto-Kun."
Mifune nods "I understand, Being Hokage means you can't look after him all the time, I heard your wife also died the day Naruto was born. Now I am sorry for killing several villagers and a few Shinobi, I warned them, to back away but they refused to do so, and continued attacking Naruto probably thinking I wouldn't dare kill them. Your villagers are arrogant Hiruzen."
Hiruzen sighed "Stupid fools, I understand you did what you had to, can you let me know how he's doing from time to time."
Mifune smiles "I can do that old friend." He then turns serious "Be warned though old friend if that idiot dares to kidnap or steal the Clan Jutsu's, or interferes in Naruto's life in any way it will result in war between us nobody wants that senseless deaths for one mans greed."
Hiruzen shakes his head "I understand again, I will keep an eye on him, for what it's worth I told him to disband his organization."
Mifune raises an eyebrow "You let too much power go old friend."
Hiruzen nods "I know, so when will you inform Naruto of his parents."
Katana then speaks "As soon as possible, he deserves to know who they were and that they loved him, as will I as we will adopt Naruto but he will keep his name."
Hiruzen then fished out a photograph "This was taken shortly before Kushina and Minato died it's the only picture of the three of them."
Katana takes the picture and smiles "Such a beautiful family such a shame, I thank you Hiruzen, I will show him this picture, when we inform him who his parents were."
Hiruzen nods "I see, farewell then."
Hiruzen then moves to the side and the Samurai leaves Mifune climbs onto his horse as does Katana, Kazama passes Naruto to her and she puts him to her chest shocked at how light he is. Kazama then gets on his own horse and they all ride away.
Hiruzen watches them go and smiles "Good luck my boy, I hope to see you again a strong young man, Make your parents proud Naruto-Kun."
Several hours later Mifune is riding beside his wife with Kazama behind them both with Samurai in front, behind and beside them. He looks at Katana and smiles then looks at Naruto "How is he."
Katana looks at her husband and smiles "He's asleep right now; He's so light it saddens me, I think he barely eats."
Mifune looks at Naruto and sighs 'I should have taken him earlier Minato my old friend.'
The watcher from before is now with the rest of the Samurai "My lord, from what I witnessed, he barely ate, he was kicked out of shops, and I often saw him looking through dustbins for food."
Katana scowls "Those stupid, villagers, can't they see the truth, he's a five year old boy, he's not the Kyuubi are they so blind, not to see the truth, Oh how Kushina and Minato are probably turning in the graves seeing their son treated like that."
Mifune sighs "People are ruled by fear, sometimes common sense is ignored, but he won't be weak anymore."
Kazama grins "I'm sure Lady Katana will fatten him up."
Katana smiles "Of course I will, he will become big and strong, and if he grows up looking like his father, the women will be all over him."
Mifune grins "I'm sure they will, but you will be judging the girls suitability I'm sure."
Katana nods "Well of course, Naruto will be my adopted son, it's only right his mother approves of the women who want him."
Kazama smiles "What about his mom does he look like her to."
Mifune nods "He looks like them both."
Katana smiles "He's such a cute little boy, for five years he had no mother now it's time I took Kushina's place as his mother although I will never replace her."
Kazama chuckles "I don't think Lady Katana, will let any girl near her son for a very very long time."
Mifune looks at his wife who's stroking Naruto's face and smiling "I feel your right Kazama."
Katana just rolls her eyes but smiles "I bet Lady Kushina would have done just the same." She then sighs "I bet she's horrified to see how they treated her little baby as would Minato."
Mifune nods "Yes, I agree with you, knowing Kushina she's probably trying to find a way to come back to life to wreak havoc in Konoha."
Kazama chuckles "That's a scary thought but a justified thought she was nicknamed the Red Hot Habanero wasn't she, a ghost of her would be an endless nightmare."
Mifune grins "A nightmare they deserve." He then looks in the air "Yagarobi set up camp we will rest for now get lookouts all over the camp."
Yagarobi nods "Yes, My Lord, consider it done."
Shortly after the camp is set up and Naruto wakes up, Mifune introduces himself to Naruto, Katana and Kazama already have but Katana has him sitting on her lap.
Mifune smiles "Now Naruto, Kazama here will be your bodyguard."
Kazama grins "I will let nothing happen to you kid, I will help train you and make sure you put on some weight."
Katana smiles "Naruto-Kun, me and my husband were friends of your parents, we will tell you about them soon OK, but not right now, We will also be adopting you, and you will live with us and train to become a Samurai, would you like that."
Naruto smiles "A Samurai, you mean like the people who guarded me they looked cool."
Mifune smiles "You will become a strong, smarter, and faster young man, we will test how smart you are and if needed will provide tutors to help you grow."
Naruto nods "Thank You, for saving me."
Katana hugs him "You have nothing to fear anymore, we are just sorry we took so long, to come and get you."
