(A/N: This is chapter one of my story, what you read before this was simply a preview, the actualy chapter only has 2-3 more paragraphs, so if you read the preview, just skip to the bottom.)
Two hundred years ago, Naruto Uzumaki, the savior of the world, master of the Rasengan, the orange flash of Konoha, defeated Madara and Obito Uchiha, evil men who wielded the power of the Juubi in a wicked plan to place the world under a genjutsu, keeping them under their control. The battle was long and hard, and cost the lives of many great shinobi from all the nations. After the battle, Naruto was made Hokage, the leader of the Village hidden the in leaves, also called Konoha. One of his first acts as Hokage was to free the Bijuu, the tailed beast that were captured and put inside human host known as Jinchuriki, as soon as their host had passed away.
One hundred and forty years has passed since Naruto died, freeing the Kyuubi from its seal inside Naruto, and human-bijuu relations have been peaceful. The Bijuu ignore the humans, and the humans ignore the Bijuu. But Humans are evil creatures, full of a malicious lust for power, the power hidden inside the Bijuu, their massive chakra reserves. Years after Naruto's passing the villages began hunting the Bijuu again, creating the next generation of Jinchuriki. For although the world was at peace, no one expected it to last.
One by one, the Bijuu were hunted down, captured, and sealed inside shinobi host from prominent clans, believing that strong blood lines were the only way to control the Bijuu as Naurto had controlled the Kyuubi. It took many years, but it was finally down to just one Bijuu, the Kyuubi, the most powerful of all the Bijuu. The demonic fox was not only crafty, but powerful, more powerful than any shinobi in exsistance. The Kyuubi had one weakness however, the Sharingan, the Kekkei Genkei of the Uchiha Clan. The Uchiha clan, which had been decimated after the massacre by the hands of Itachi Uchiha, was finally back and established in the help of this powerful Dojutsu, Konoha was finally able to capture the malevolent chakra spirit, sealing it inside a vase until they could find a suitable host.
Hours later, the officials of Konoha and the Hokage met in secret, all wearing large black cloaks that covered their body and hid their face from view. The room they met in was in the far outskirts of Konoha, near the entrance to the Uchiha complex. It was a small room, completely bare save for a bookshelf of sealing scrolls on the back wall. The first man to speak was tall, a red glow piercing the darkness of his hooded face.
"I still don't understand why I can't have the power of the Kyuubi!" The man roared, the red glow from behind his hood growing with his frustration. "It was MY Sharingan that tamed the damned beast and allowed your sealing corps to capture it! I deserve the power!"
"Kenshi, watch your tone with me!" A woman spoke this time, her voice was stern and powerful, it held authority behind it. "If you don't watch your tongue when talking to me I will take it!" The woman raised her hand and brought it down in a slashing motion in emphasis. "I've told you already, a Bijuu must be sealed in a child, the chakra has to grow with their body."
"It is known," Another man spoke from behind the woman. The man sounded old, frail almost, with a voice that held knowledge and wisdom in it. "Not to mention, the common people must not know about the mission we undertook this night. Naruto is still loved, and for us to disobey his one dying wish, well, it could very well start a revolt."
"Fine," Kenshi grumbled, "But where will we put the Kyuubi, the seal on that vase will not hold it for long, we need a suitable host, and we need it now."
The whole room nodded, agreeing with the angry Kenshi. Two hooded figures stepped forward, bowing to the woman figure who had spoken earlier.
"Hokage-sama," The first figure spoke, "We got just such a vessel today at the orphanage, an Uchiha babe, no parents, and no more than five months old."
"Yes, yes," The second figure said in agreeance. "Their chakra levels are already very high as well, they would be the perfect host for the Kyuubi."
"Hmmm," The female Hokage pondered for a moment, "You say he is parentless, yes? Is their any record of him every existing? Hospital records, prenatal checkups? Anything?"
"Nothing," The second figure said, "Not even we know anything about him except for the Uchiha crest necklace that was around his crib, and a name. Malkeru."
"It's only fitting my clan gets the Kyuubi," Kenshi said, "We are the reason you were able to capture it after all."
"I hate to say it Hokage-sama," Another female spoke from the back, "But even the Hyuuga clan agrees with him, the Sharingan would be a very powerful tool for controlling the chakra of the beast, and wasn't that the whole reason for this mission?"
The hokage nodded while the Hyuuga woman spoke, "Very well, bring this...'Malkeru' to the altar, we shall seal him at once."
"Are you absolutely sure?" The first orphanage worker spoke, "What if the seal doesn't take? What will become of this child?"
"Never question me," The Hokage spoke fiercely, "I am an Uzumaki, my great great grandfather was the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, and I will use his very seal on this boy." The hokage paused for a second before going on, the shadows not giving away any signs of her face, "And if the boy doesn't make it well...that's why we had to be sure there were no records of him."
The room grew silent, the grim nature of what they were about to try finally dawning on them. The Hokage left first, she seemed to be in a huff as she stormed towards the altar they had hidden deep in the woods outside of Konoha, far from peering eyes of the civilians and unauthorized Shinobi. She walked quickly, without hesitation, a cold fury burning in her eyes.
In her head she ran over the sealing matrix, the hand signs she would have to make, the exact chakra control she needed to exert, every minute detail ran through her mind at a million miles an hour, filling her every thought. She pinched the bridge of her nose, attempting to clear the small migraine that was forming at the back of her head.
As she passed tree after tree she felt regret clenching at her, what was she about to do to this child? What kind of life was she about to put this poor boy through? These thoughts were quickly pushed away by the greater good of the village, she knew the power the Kyuubi held, she had read the scrolls about the kind of power that Naruto Uzumaki could unleash when he tapped into it's massive chakra reserves. Imagine what an Uchiha could do with that kind of power, a Sharingan tapped into a Bijuu was unthinkable, unimaginable. She stopped a second, leaning on a tree as a wave of anxiety flowed over her, making her breathing sparse and her eyes widen. Taking a deep breathe she continued her journey, the altar just ahead.
It was a simple altar, a stone tablet just large enough for a child to fit on, with several smaller tablets with candles surrounding it. Sitting in front of the largest tablet, the Hokage removed several scrolls, brushes, and inks from her robe, placing them neatly in front of her. She unraveled the largest scroll, a sealing matrix she had prepared before hand was on the crisp new paper. With her ink she began to add to the matrix, accounting for the child's future dojutsu, and adding another layer to the seal, a layer that would prevent communication with the Kyuubi until the boy had grown a proper age, she didn't need the Kyuubi talking him into releasing the seal, not at first at least.
From behind her Kenshi appeared, a small bundle in his arms. In the bundle was a baby boy, he had charcoal eyes, and dark, jet black hair atop his head. The boy was rather cute, at least to the Hokage, and was fast asleep. She wondered if he would still be asleep if he knew what was about to happen to him.
"Place him on the altar." The hokage said grimly. "We must being the preparations at once. As Kenshi laid the small child on the altar, the Hokage began to write on him, scribbling Kanji and sealing incredibly complex and intricate sealing matrix's. She worked slowly and carefully, one mistake, one twitch of one finger could sentence this boy to death, or worse. As she scribbled she hummed to the boy, an old Uzumaki lullaby her grandma use to sing to her.
"Are you...are you seriously humming to the vessel?" Kenshi said, flabbergasted. He had never seen the Hokage so, so, motherly.
"Tsk," The Hokage growled out, "I'm trying to keep the boy quiet, if he moves it could ruin the seal and our entire mission." She began to hum again, a slow, melodic tune, and the boy seemed to receive it well, even letting out a contended sigh before falling back asleep.
"Heh, I think he likes you." Kenshi joked with the Hokage, his crimson eyes glowing brighter as he laughed. Behind him, a tree branch snapped, making hardly more noise than whisper, not audible to most people, but, Kenshi was not most people. His body tensed, and he shot around, turning his body quickly toward the noise, kunai drawn in each hand.
"S-s-sorry sir!" A Chunin called out, "W-we didn't mean to scare you, we're here with the p-package." the man managed to stutter out.
"Hnf." Kenshi scowled. "You didn't scare me, a true shinobi is always alert." Kenshi's eyes drifted to the vase the shinobi and his two cohorts were carrying. It was large, the size of a small horse, and the three men seemed to be struggling to carry it. Along the front, sides, and top of it was a very complex seal the likes of which Kenshi had neither seen before, nor understood, nor did he really care to. The Uzumaki's could have their little seals, he would take his Sharingan any day. "Well, what are you waiting for!" Kenshi growled. "Next to the vessel, now!"
"Y-y-yes S-sir!" The three men said in near unison, stumbling over their fear and the pure weight of the parcel in their hands. The three men quickly crossed the distance between them and the altar, laying the vase down gently, as if it were made of crystal, next to the sleeping boy.
"Now leave." Kenshi ordered, "And never speak of this event." The three men trembled before the fearsome Uchiha before bowing and quickly body flickering from the sight of his Sharingan. When they were gone, Kenshi let a small sigh escape him. The transportation of the Kyuubi had been the part of the plan he most feared would fail, leaving such an important task to three Chunin, whose idea was that? In the back of his mind he knew though, they were all Uzumaki and possessed a natural affinity with Fuuinjutsu, they were the best choice for this job, whether he liked it or not.
"Now..just add this..and this seal...account for the fusion of chakra.." the Hokage was muttering to herself as she furiously connected the boy and the vase, creating a long chain of Kanji down the altar, onto the ground, and up to the top of the vase itself. When she finished, she laid down her brush, taking a deep breath and examining her work. To her highly trained eyes, the seal looked perfect, there was not a single flaw she could find in her work. Anxiously she brought her hands together into the snake sign, pausing a moment to gather her thoughts and mold her chakra. Quickly her hands moved, a blur to all but the quickest of eyes. She ran through the One-hundred and forty-seven sign seal as she had done a thousand times in preparation for this evening.
As she performed the signs needed to begin the sealing ritual, Kenshi nervously fidgeted behind her, something he hadn't done since he was a small child. His mouth was dry, his eyes wide with anticipation, if this worked the Uchiha clan would have a very powerful Jinchuiki under their influence. And if it failed, well, there was no record of this boy every existing, was there? As the Hokage drew her hand into the final sign, the sign of the Horse, Kenshi's eyes drew tight, focused, he wanted to see everything that was about to happen, he wanted to know how to fix any mistakes that may happen.
"Fuuinjutsu:.." The Hokage began, raising her hands over the infants stomach, sweat running down her brow and falling off her chin. "Hakke no Fūin Shiki!" She roared, thrusting eight of her fingers into the boys abdominal region.
Immediately the boy began to cry, screeching loudly from the massive pain in his stomach. From the vase a terrible, evil, red chakra began to flow from the top, following the line of Kanji up the altar into the small Uchiha. From the vase an evil, sinister laugh could be heard, shaking the Hokage and Kenshi to their core.
"AI UZUMAKI!" The deep maniacal voice roared from inside the vase, "YOU DARE TO BREAK THE SIXTH HOKAGE'S LAWS AND SEAL ME, THE KYUUBI, INTO ANOTHER VESSEL!?"
"It speaks?!" Kenshi yelled to the Ai, fear in his voice. "Seal it quicker!"
"I'm trying!" Ai yelled back, her fury over taking her terror. Closing her eyes she focused harder on her Chakra, forcing every ounce of it up through his chakra network and into her hands.
"FOOLS!" The Kyuubi laughed at the pair of shinobi, "YOU ARE NO MINATO NAMIKAZE, NOR ARE YOU KUSHINA UZUMKAI! THIS SEALING WILL FAIL AND THEN I WILL HAVE THE LEAF VILLAGE, NARUTO BE DAMNED!" With these words the Vase shattered, sending shards of hardened glass flying in all directions. From the remnants of the vase, the remaining amount of the Kyuubi's chakra began to manifest and form, first into a head, with two evil red eyes, then the body began to form. Legs shot out from the chakra body, ending in wicked claws that looked as if they could cut through diamond. The final thing to form was the tails, nine large, sweeping tails, at full size capable of knocking down mountains or destroying entire villages. When the transformation was done, the Kyuubi looked a miniature version of himself, a little bit larger than Kenshi who stood at 6'1.
"Kenshi!" Ai yelled to him, focusing deeply on the sealing ritual. "Your Sharingan!"
"R-right!" Kenshi yelled back, snapping out of his confusion. He quickly raised a hand to remove his hood, revealing his shoulder length black hair and strong angular jaw, a typical Uchiha. Kenshi closed his eyes, allowing the chakra to build up in them for his genjutsu.
"Kenshi it's almost formed!" Ai yelled.
"THIS TAKES SOME TIME!" Kenshi yelled back, shooting his eyes open, his three tomoe morphing and evolving into his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"NO! THOSE EYES!" The Kyuubi growled "YOU DAMNED UCHIHA!" The Kyuubi dropped to his knees, only able to watch as the last remainder of his Chakra was slowly sucked into the small infant Uchiha. "I will have your head for this..." The Kyuubi quietly growls, giving up all resistance. And like that, it was over, the Kyuubi was sealed into the boy, a spiral with Kanji surrounding it appearing over his abdomen.
"Is...is that it?" Kenshi asked, amazed at what they had just accomplished. The boy was still screaming, yelling out in pain and fear, so Kenshi knew he was alive, but, had they really done it? Did they really just seal the most powerful Bijuu in all existence?
"Yes.." The Hokage said, collapsing to her knees, nearly devoid of chakra. "It's done, the boy now has the Kyuubi inside of him, he is a Jinchuriki."
A wicked smile grew onto Kenshi's face, and before he knew it, he was laughing. Not a nervous laugh, not a funny laugh, just a laugh. "Finally, the Uchiha has a Jinchuriki!" he said in midst of his fit of hysterical laughter.
"No." The Hokage said firmly, raising to her feet. "The boy will have no clan, he will be put under the care of the Konoha orphanage until he is of age to attend the academy, and then we will give him the usual allowance given to orphan academy students. He will not be influenced by any clans, is that understood?"
Kenshi looked onto the Hokage with eyes full of hatred, eyes full of the lust of power found deep inside every human. "You bitch, you promised the Uchiha clan the Jinchuriki if we captured the Kyuubi for you!"
"And you have a Jinchuriki, as you said." The Hokage responded, scooping up the boy, rocking him to try and stop his crying. "The boy has Uchiha blood, but he shall not bear your name, he shall take the last name of all clanless orphans, Leaf."
"Do you really think I'm going to let you just walk out of here with him?" Kenshi asked, his Mangekyo Sharingan flaring. "I could kill you now and no one would be the wiser, maybe something went wrong with the sealing..."
Before Kenshi could react, the Hokage was in front of him, two fingers on his brow. "Tensha Fuuin." The Hokage whispered. Black ink spread from her fingers, dipping deep into Kenshi's eyes, causing him to drop to the ground, howling like an animal in pain.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!" He yelled, ripping at his eyes, attempting to free it of any of the ink that stained and burned his pupils.
"I sealed your Sharingan," The hokage responded calmly, turning to leave with the newly sealed Jinchuriki. "If you ever use them on me again, your Amaterasu will activate, burning you alive with those black flames you love so much." As she spoke a small smile crept onto her hidden face. "Did you really think I would ask for your help before having an ace up my sleeve? Come now Kenshi, I'm not Hokage for no reason."
"You cunt.." Kenshi muttered, holding his face in the fetal position as the Uzumaki Hokage walked away from him, towards the bright lights of Konoha. "You'll pay...someday, I will make you pay for this treachery.."
The Hokage ignored him, holding the infant in her arms as a mother would hold her own child. "I am so sorry.." she whispered to the boy, "But you really are the only option, I hope someday you can forgive me for what I had to do to you.." from beneath her hood, a single tear ran down her cheek, hanging for a moment on her chin before falling and straining her black ensemble.
