Welcome to my first fan fiction after a year only concentration on school. I would have liked to continue writing stories but because my grades kept getting worse I decided that school had to come first.

Please remember that I'm from Germany.

I hope you enjoy my story.

I will start with a song from my favourite band.

FT Island – Falling star

"I prayed to become an adult.

I rushed too much because I thought I would be able to do something.

I spilled the happiness away, I lost love.

I didn't stop and was only running forward.

I'm loosing myself,

My worries increase, my greed gets bigger

As if I have the whole world by just owning a picture card.

Have I forgotten those nights I fell asleep with a fluttering heart?

Catch a falling star.

Will I be able to find the Neverland of fairytales?"

Leaders and Protectors -

Rise of the Uzumaki

Chapter 1 - to protect and to lead - prologue

It hadn't been known as much as other shinobi villages like Konoha-gakure. But this was not because Whirlpool was weak, they had been very secretive although it was rather small. Nobody was to know of their real strength, it was the big secret that the Uzumaki Clan hid from the rest of the shinobi nations. Not wanting to be included into wars and not taking any sides, Uzugakure had always been very peaceful. That even showed in their teaching, the first thing the little children learned was to kill only when it was the only way to protect their beloved. Only kill when absolutely necessary, only to kill when nothing else worked. Early in their history they discovered that there were to kinds of people in their clan: protectors and leaders. Leader were born to lead, it was in their blood. They were good leaders, taking care of every single man, woman or child and they showed that they were able to turn enemies into friends. Most important was their chakra because it shined and was as warm as only the sun could be. A warmth that also attracted animals, seeing as Uzugakure was full of them. The others were called protectors, and like their name, it was their job to protect the leader and everybody else that was loyal to him or her. They were sharp and precise fighters and most of the time this showed in their character and their chakra. They were colder, quieter and their chakra not as inviting as that of their leaders. People and animals did not fear them but they knew how to be careful. If a child was born as a leader or protector was decided very early in the pregnancy of their mother. There was no way to say what the child would turn out to be, even with many siblings, never once was the chance higher because the child born before was the other kind. There was only one time that when it was absolutely sure what the child would, when two of them were born as twins. The first born would be a leader, the second born a protector. Twins were very special in the Uzumaki clan and always put on a team together because there was just no possible way to separate the protector of them from the leader without hurting the twins emotionally. They younger child would always talk to his twin first, even when they were given orders. Fighting together the twins in the Uzumaki clan were almost unbeatable, so it was not only once that twins were alone with a sensei when the academy was short of one child. Twins were special, but just as special as they were they were always very rare and the Uzumaki had never been a very big clan even though they always married someone outside of the clan. The reason for this was that Uzumaki blood was very strong and even intimate relationships with someone who was almost not related to you would lead to big problems not only for the child but also for the mother.

The Uzumakis were called devils as soon as word got out of their strength, their red hair fit this title perfectly. Without them doing anything that would threaten others they were whipped out unexpectly, only few of them survived and those who did hid themselves afterwards, or at least almost all of them. Before they could be known as a strong clan they were killed. Enemies never whishing for them to return, they shouldn't even be spoken about. But they couldn't stop on thing and that was the fact that Konohas first Hokages wife was a woman named Mito Uzumaki, born to lead and to protect. This was all before the killing and destroying of Uzugakure. In the first time of the clans history a child was born who had both protector and leader blood on it equally. This child was also the first one who had to live with a very big burden, the nine tailed fox Kyuubi. When Madara Ushiha was able to summon the fox and putting a very strong Genjutsu on it Hashirama Senju hindered it on killing even more people in sealing it in his new wife, knowing she was strong enough to bear the burden. When Mito was getting to old and didn't have much time left a child of the Uzumaki clan had to be the next vessel. A six-year-old girl with the name of Kushina was selected and although she was a protector they were some traces of a leader in her blood. She was strong but not as strong as Mito-sama.

And as if the history wanted to repeat itself the Kyuubi was ripped out of her when she went in labour, this was just possible because Kushina wasn't the perfect holder for a demon as great as the Kyuubi. Minato Namikaze, Kushina's husband, father of the newly born baby boy and the forth Hokage of Konoha knew that only those with Uzumaki blood were able to imprison the nine-tailed-fox sealed the beast in his own son, protection Konoha but killing himself in the process. He died together with his wife, on the day their son was born, the day Konoha, their home, had been attacked. The boy who was now left alone did not bear the Uzumaki trait mark, their hair which was as red as fire; he looked almost the same as his father.

Deep down inside of him... it was completely different. His blood and chakra were those of an Uzumaki and very strong. Without anyone knowing a new leader and protector was born bringing new hope to a clan that was almost forgotten.

But this boy, Naruto was his name, had to live through a cruel childhood first.

But the Uzumaki would rise again and the help came in the name of Kyoko and her twin brother Ryoko, their red hair falling down like waves of fire.

Wait and see Konoha Gakure, village hidden in the leafs …


So what do you think of the first chapter?
