A/N: I don't own anything, I wouldn't like to anyways. Criticism is welcome, hate is not, but say what you wish.

A red and white hat fell to the floor next to the tired man. Sighing as he placed another ANBU report back onto his desk to reach for the hat. Placing it back on his head he decided to have a break from his seemingly endless work, he headed towards the roof of the hokage building. A cool breeze blew through the door as he walked out into the crisp October air. It was late in the evening Konohagakure, sun slowly setting towards the horizon he looked up towards the stone monument dedicated towards his predecessors. More specifically, his successor the Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, 'I should have taken your place that night Minato, She has gone through so much...' The anniversary of that fateful night was today, many villagers we're celebrating the downfall of the Kyūbi. Most of the villagers were loud in cheers while the shinobi of the villagers were remembering the lives sacrificed on that night, six years ago.

'She already asked me if she can join the Academy, you would be so proud of her.' turning back away from the village to look back up at the person he was thinking only to see something of his worst than a nightmare "No..." he whispered out loud into the fading daylight.

-/ Yondaime's head /-

A weeping blond stood on the monument of her hero, tattered and torn orange jumpsuit covered the broken body of the young girl, the 'demon' of the village. Today was the last, the day that finally broke her undying spirit she couldn't take the hateful glares, the beatings, the loneliness any longer. She stepped towards the edge of head looking down towards the rocky cliff below, elongated shadows of the village were cast upon the rocky face, only making the bottom seem like an endless void that welcomed her sorrows. With her final moment, she tucked the letter to her grandfather figure in the pocket of her jacket and jumped of the head of her father, although she would never know. The cold air biting at her skin as she fell towards the ground only to be engulfed in the shadows below, all her thoughts ended with a sickening thud as the now lifeless body lie on the cold ground.

The nearby bushes parted as the hokage came into the shadowed clearing below the monument. Falling on his knees in despair he looked at the broken body before him, tears blocking his vision as he never noticed blood from the body slowly returning to it's owner. "I was too late..." said the weeping hokage, "Hokage-sam-" the man's question was cut off when he looked at the broken body that lie before the hokage. "No, this can't be happening..." said the Inu-ANBU he slowly walked over to the hokage and put a hand on his shoulder only to find his own knees no longer able to hold himself up. The two men slowly picked up the broken, cold, lifeless body of the girl before them to bring to the hospital, wishing it was all just a nightmare.

-/ Unknown Sewers /-

Red slit eyes glowed in the darkness of the sewers, the beast slowly moved towards the bars he was held behind to look down upon the broken blond before him 'This chill...' he looked around only to see the light slowly fading around him, 'This isn't right' the beast through as he looked back down at the young girl before him only to see how lifeless the body seemed "No, NO!" the beast bellowed as he smashed his claws against the cage that held him back. One of the tails of the beast reached towards the girl to bring it inside the cage "Do not do this to me kit," setting the lifeless body upon him he slowly wrapped his tails up close to his body to heat the poor girls body in hope of stopping her from going into an endless sleep. 'Its the only way...' the beast thought as he felt the cold and darkness slowly inch around his body. "I'm sorry kit, this will only cause you more trouble, I'm sorry for being selfish with my own desires to save my life, I only hope you can one day forgive me for what I am going to do." with his final words he slowly closed his eyes as he felt some of his power leaving his body into the girl before him, one of the nine tails that wrapped around the girl slowly shimmered into non-existence as he felt the cold and darkness slowly moving away from him. He closed his eyes as he pulled the body of the girl closer to her before slowly drifting into sleep.

-/ Konoha hospital /-

The Hokage and an ANBU sat at the bed of the blond girl before them, the machines hooked up to her all were pointing at the same thing. She was dead. The two men in the room were saying their goodbyes to the loving girl they once knew, only to be pushed into their own depression when they realized how much more they should have done for the girl but when they both looked back upon the girl's peaceful face the hokage stood up, "I think we should let the village know who they just pushed into suicide, they should feel the regret of what they did to one of their greatest heros."

"Understood Hokage-sama." replied the ANBU in a saddened tone still looking upon the face of his sensei's daughter. "However, first we must tell the council and ANBU, they should be first to know seeing how much they mistreated her as well."

"I will gather them now, If you wish." the hokage replied with a simple incline of his head and the ANBU agent disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Leaving the hokage alone in the room with her granddaughter-figure, he looked down at her torn jacked so see a small slip of paper sticking out of the front pocket. Noticing it, he pulled it out of the jacket only to look upon what was scribbled on the piece of paper, three simple words were written on it:

I'm sorry Jiji.

Letting the tears fall freely, he slowly leaned over and kissed the girl on the forehead, "I'm the one who is sorry, Naruto." with that, he slowly gathered his remaining strength to leave

-/ Hokage Tower, large meeting room /-

The room quickly filled with the ANBU that were not on current watch and the councilmen on the guise that it was an important meeting. Quickly filling the room until they were all there the hokage stood before the crowd, unanswered quickly filled the room as murmurs began to erupt, but they were silenced as soon as the hokage began speaking, "ANBU and councilmen of konoha, I have gathered you here today to reveal an S-class secret that involves most of you, however the one who was truly affected is no longer with us," Murmurs became louder as they were wondering why this was brought up, one of the ANBU final broke the constant questions to ask the hokage, "Why now?" the hokage seemed to age a couple of years as he slowly began losing his strength, his tight lips fell into a small frown and his eyes dulled with sadness at the what he was about to say, "Because, the last person truly affected by this secret died today, seeing it would do no harm to reveal it now, I decided you should at least share some of my grief"

"Who?" another ANBU asked. The hokage took in a large breath before sighing to what he was he was going to say, "Naruto Uzumaki," the murmurs grew louder before a council member erupted in happiness shouting "The demon is dead!" the man, however, was quickly shut up by the god of shinobi "ENOUGH!" he fumed as silence filled the room, "Naruto Uzumaki was not a demon, she was the sole daughter of the Yondaime" everyone in the room stared in shock at the hokage as he revealed the secret while he was fuming with rage about the comment of his granddaughter figure. Soon after an ANBU wearing a cat mask spoke up, "How did she die?" the sadness was apparent in her voice but no one bothered to speak up about it. Luckily, her mask shielded her tears from the view of the rest of the members in the room.

A single tear rolled down the hokage's cheek as he Answered the ANBU, barely loud enough for everyone in the room to hear, "she took her own life an hour ago by jumping off the hokage monument." Everyone was shocked, they knew how loud mouthed that girl was, she was a troublemaker who always had a silly grin on her face, no one expected that she would take her own life. As soon as the shock died down they people in the room realized why they have been told this information the daughter of their hero was treated so badly, her only choice of escaping the pain was taking her own life at such a young age. One emotion filled the room as everyone felt it: Regret. They tried to think of anything they could do that could do but those thoughts were quickly interrupted by the doors being broken open by a medic who clearly ran all the way from the hospital. They all looked upon the medic with confusion in their eyes and as quickly as the medic entered the room their confusion was gone after they heard what the medic had to say, "Hokage-sama, She's alive!" Every shinobi who heard that quickly had the same reaction and the room was quickly filled with swirl of leaves as the civilian council members ran out towards the exit of the building.

-/ Hospital, room 275 /-

Hiruzen opened the door to the hospital room to find Naruto sitting up in her bed looking out the window at the full moon, her fox ears twitched upwards upon hearing the door open, 'wait, fox ears?' the hokage took a double take at the young girl before him it was the same girl, tattered and torn orange jacket and sunny blond hair with crimson tips, 'no, I'm pretty sure that was not there before' he thought as he looked at crimson tail waving back and forth in the dark. The girl turned her head towards the old man, violet slit eyes slowly shifted back to bight ocean blue and bore into his own brown, tears still running down her cheeks as she looked at him. Her ear drooped down as she looked at him and finally croaked out, "I'm sorry Jiji." with a broken voice he walked over to the young girl and took brought her into a hug, "No, its not your fault Naruto, I'm the one who should be sorry." He let the tears fall down his cheeks as she cried into his white and red robes. After a short while he broke the hug upon hearing her breathing slow down and noticed she fell asleep. He put he down onto the hospital bed and brought the blanket up to her chin before kissing her on the forehead and exiting the room.

ANBU and Council Members waited patiently outside the room in the dimmed hallway. The Inu-ANBU quickly was the first to ask, "How is she?" the worry obviously clouding his voice, "Shes fine, but she is sleeping now, so I will make this brief, her lineage is now an SS-class secret, if one of you ever mentions a word of it without express permission from me you will be executed on the spot. Her father had too many enemies for us to give away information like that, and we don't want to lose our last connection to two great clans." everyone in the hallway nodded obediently. "Good, additionally, we cannot suddenly treat her like royalty, so, instead just treat her as any other civilian, or if you wish, show a little kindness of your heart, but not too much that makes others suspicious of your behavior, last thing we need it iwa spies returning to their village with word of the yellow flash's heir." Once again, the people there nodded obediently as they obeyed their hokage. "Then this meeting is adjourned, ANBU return to your posts and have a good night. I have some paperwork to finish." The ANBU quickly dispersed with their shushin leaving the hospital janitors to once again clean up the leaves that they always leave behind, one would think they could just shushin without leaving leaves behind...

-/ Sewers, Location unknown. /-

Naruto cried on the back of the great beast below her, "Hush now kit, all is well, I will be here for you when others won't. Please get some rest, you will need it for what comes next" The girl nodded as she hugged one of the eight tails of the beast below her, breathing slowed down as she finally drifted into her dreams. The Kyūbi slowly lifted her off of his back and into one of his arms before slowly shifting into the shape of a human. One with spiked blonde hair and a white cloak with kanji on the back reading "Yondaime Hokage" he placed her onto the floor before walking over to the broken seal of the cage that held the Kyūbi, and fixing it to a new one that he developed only moments ago. 'Thank you Kurama'

'To you too, you freed me from that cursed eye, I finally have my memories back, but you know when time comes, you need to talk to her.'

'I only wish it can come sooner, but she is too young, we must wait before revealing the truth to her, Madara must be stopped.' Minato replied with their mind link. 'I'd never thought I would work with another human since the death of my father, but I'm glad for what you did.'

Minato nodded at the Kyūbi's word while putting down the finishing touches of the seal. 'I'm done here, keep her safe Kurama, I'll be watching'

'Oh, I know you will.' he chuckled as Minato slowly shifted back into the form of the great fox. Lifting the girl up as he put her on his back and the mindscape slowly changed into a vast meadow with wind blowing at the tall grass that shined from the moon's light. The fox closed its violet eyes and slept with his new kit.

- / A/N note /-

Horray! first chapter done, I was really bored in one of my classes today and I had this idea for a story, I have planned out a lot of it, but some areas still have holes, but they will be filled along the way. First thing I will mention, every enemy in this story is are going to be really evil and also be a lot more powerful, I'm trying to be realistic here, and Naruto will get a boost in strength, but also a couple weaknesses to go along with them. With that said, review and tell me what you think. I'll be posting chapters whenever I get the chance to right them ヾﾉ｡ÒㅅÓ)ﾉｼ so they'll be randomly updated for now. (=^-ω-^=)

じゃね～
