I do not own Naruto
~X~X~X~
As Minato looked at his two children, a sense of peace came over him. Fearing that putting the entirety of the Kyuubi into one of his children would corrupt him, he decided to split the chakra between his son and daughter. They had not originally expected twins and the new development shocked them. Having listened to the final words from his wife to their children, and he hoped that they would be able to find joy. That people would honor his last request and that, they would see them as heroes. After finishing the seal, he finally spoke, "Children always be true to yourselves, protect those who you love and listen to your mother."
Upon feeling his wife's body go limp; he looked at his children one last time. His young boy reached a hand out, slowly touching one of the kunia for his Flying Thunder God technique. In a bright flash, the boy was gone. He wished for the boy's safety one final time before the light faded from his eyes and he collapsed.
~O~O~
Shia pondered her lot in life as she walked on the path through an old forest occasionally enjoying the moon light that barely penetrated the trees... she was old. Very old. Her husband had died in the defense of Uzushiogakure and she was nearing the end of her natural age. She had been alive for far too long.
There were only a hand full of survivors and she only knew two of them: Kushina Uzumaki and in infant sealed with all of the knowledge the elders could inside of her.
She could revive the child but they would be alone and would have to fight off nations to protect the secrets of a destroyed country that they never knew. It was cruel to expect anyone to do that making them believe that anyone that got close to them was only trying to use them for their own goals.
Her thoughts were interrupted as a bright flash caught her eye. Letting her old instincts take control she moved quickly through the trees to where she thought she had seen the light come from. Landing on a branch she looked around curiously spotting nothing out of the ordinary until she saw one of shrubs on the ground shift.
After closer inspection she saw a baby blue blanket. Reaching out and taking hold of it she held the bundle realizing there was a child inside. Opening it up to get a closer look she saw it was a boy with a whisker marks on his cheeks and seal drawn on his stomach.
"Well it looks like we will have to help each other little one. There is someone I know that is going to need protecting and I think you will do a job of it."
Making her way out of the forest with the bundle in her arms. She spoke again, "What to call you? How about Naruto, after that brave ninja in the book I just read. Yes that will do, How do you like your name Naruto the lost Jinchuriki."

Eight years later
He was a eight now he wasn't supposed to cry. He shouldn't have been the one covering his caretaker's grave. Across from him, he saw Talyn sitting down hugging her knees. He put the final touches on Shia's grave. He started fingering the mask she told him to wear and the blank forehead protector. She told him that if he pushed his chakra to it the whirling tide symbol would appear on it.
He dusted of his clothes once again adjusting the bandana on his forehead protector to make sure it covered his hair. He had on a dark vest and pants off setting his fading orange shirt.
Sitting next to Talyn he placed his arm around her. "It is going to be alright, it was her time to go."
Talyn spoke her voice cracking. "What are we going to do now?"
He grabbed the cloth that held her forehead protector and guided her brown hair back, putting the metal plate on her forehead running the cloth around her head and tied her hair up in a ponytail. She wore a high-collared sleeve less shirt that was a dark green to blue camo that reached a ways past her waist
After finishing tying up her hair he finally spoke, "We are going to move on like she told us to. Besides, she trained us to be ninjas after all."
"You now I am terrible at that and she didn't want me using my seals until I was older." Talyn said mournfully. She was right. Shia didn't want Talyn to show people her seals until she was at least 13 and even then, she was only allowed to do the simple ones unless she was teaching Naruto who had the same restrictions. As far as ninjutsu, she could do a transformation, and a clone and replacement, but had little to no energy after using them once or twice. In hand to hand combat she was okay and focused more on glancing blows in combination with simple seals to offset an opponent. While she was good at it compared to him, she was no master. Her genjutsu was her strong point but having low amounts of chakra wasn't able to use too many yet.
He, on the other hand, was good at ninjutsu and was able to do the replacement, but due to his large chakra reserves, he wasn't able to do the other two at first. Because of that, he was shown the shadow clone jutsu to learn. Oddly enough, he was able to do the extremely taxing technique and was latter able with it able to create his own full transformation making it solid as opposed to most. With Taijutsu, he was almost like a protégé, and when he learned how to do a shadow clone it only showed more. He was learning two styles the seal based style and another more direct physical style. He was unable to do anything but the most basic genjutsu. Lastly, he was beginning to learn his element: which turned out to be air.
"Well we can think of something, it will be alright." He said fingering the three-pronged kunai in his vest.

The next day the house was gone and the only sign that people had been there were the freshly turned earth of a grave, and a head stone with the whirling tide symbol and the inscription: The Last Shinobi of Uzushiogakure and the Teacher of the Lost.

Well thank you for reading this. This my first attempt at something like this.
Most of the early chapters will be for setting up the characters and the group that Naruto is going to be with. I will try and get there to be more plot as the story goes on.
If you have a problem with my grammar I am sorry but can you please bear with me on it. If you will give me examples of what I did wrong that would be nice so I can fix it and hopefully not make the same mistake again in the future.
The same with ideas and suggestions I like working with a broad pallet.
Once again thank you for your time and have a good day and please subscribe I hope to be coming out with more soon.

So this chapter was revised and I would like to thank Midnite Kitsunee for doing the beta.
