Authors Note: This is my first fan fic, so I hope I do ok. Any advice you can give to help improve the story is welcome. I'm mainly doing this to improve my writing. Of course the fact that I like Naruto plays into that also. So yeah. Hope you enjoy the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto in any way, shape or form. Anyone who says I do is lying. The real person who ownss it is Masashi Kishimoto.

October 10th Konoha:

"Minato, please reconsider!" Sarutobi yelled.

"No old man. I can't. This is the only way to stop the Kyuubi." Minato Namikaze, yondaime hokage of Konoha, spoke with the tone of someone about to die. The two old men had been arguing about who was going to perform the shiki fuuin, the jutsu that was going to seal the Kyuubi inside Naruto Namikaze, Minato's son.

Minato Namikaze looked out the window of the hokage tower where in the distance you could see jutsus going of and a giant nine-tailed fox.

"Then let me do it. At least let your son have a chance to grow up with his father!" Sarutobi yelled.

"I am the Hokage, defender of this village! This is my duty. Not yours. You gave that duty up when you passed on the title to me. Please, take good care of Naruto. Make the village see him as a hero." As minato said this he flashed out of the Hokage office with his newborn son in his arms.

He would die soon after.

Later that night.

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked through the battlefield looking for the Yondaime Hokage and his son.

A wail is carried to his ears and he runs over.

There in his fathers arms lies Naruto Namikaze. Last of the Namikaze Clan.

Hiruzen picks the baby up and carries him to the council chambers and sets him on the table, waiting for the meeting to begin.

Soon after, the Uchiha clan head walks in, followed by the Hyuuga, Yamanaka, Akimichi, Nara, Inuzuka, and Aburame. After they sit down, Hiruzen begins to speak.

"This boy is the son of our beloved hero, Minato Namikaze. His name is Naruto Namikaze. He is also our savior from the kyuubi. The great beast lies sealed within him. These facts are now SS ranked secrets. Any person who repeats what they have heard in this room tonight, shall be executed without fail."

"Does the boy contain his families bloodlines?" Asked Shibi Aburame.

"It is unknown whether or not he does." Hiruzen replies.

"Then he should be adopted into one of the clans." Says Tsume Inuzuka.

"As troublesome as it is…I agree." States Shikaku Nara.

"A vote. All who wish for Naruto Namikaze to be adopted into one of the major clans raise your hand."Hiruzen says.

All the clan leaders hands rise.

"Who wishes to adopt this child."Hiruzen asks.

Noone speaks until…

"I will adopt this child."

"Are you sure Fugaku?" Hiashi asks.

"If this is truly the child of my friend and teammate, then I will raise his child as my own." Fagaku says in a weary voice.

"Okay. Now on to another matter. Who will be Hokage now?"

"This is all very troublesome…but…I believe that you should take the job again Sarutobi."

"Very well. What shall we do about the civilian council?"

"They have been growing too powerful."

"Those mongrels along with Danzo are starting to annoy me."

"They should have most of their power stripped from them."

"Danzos Root should also be destroyed and disbanded."

"Very well. All in favor of disbanding the civilian council and Root, say hai."

"Hai." Comes the unanimous reply.

"As of this moment the civilian council and Root are disbanded. Meeting adjourned."

All the clan leaders except for Fugaku file out of the room.

"Hokage-sama."

"Just Sarutobi Fugaku."

"Hai, Sarutobi. What should I do with the child?"

"Take him home and care for him as if he is your knows, Sasuke may have just found a new playmate." Sarutobi says with a chuckle.

"Hai Sarutobi. Maybe Itachi will actually show some emotion now." Fugaku says, also chuckling.

"Well I don't know about you but, I have paperwork to take care of in the morning. There goes my vacation." Sighs Sarutobi.

"…You could use shadow clones you know."

"…WHAT?!?!?!?!?!"

"Um….ya. That's what Minato did all the time. What you never wondered how he had so much free time?"

"I thought he just wasn't doing it all!"

"No, he just used shadow clones."

"Take that evil paperwork! You shall not defeat me!"

"I think I'll go home now Hiruzen…"

5 years later…

"NARUTO!!!!!!"

"Hahaha, can't catch me!"

"Just watch me! Give me back my ANBU mask!"

"No!"

"I can't believe I'm actually going to do this." Thought Itachi.

"I'll take you to Itchirakus."

Naruto instantly stops and hands Itachi his mask.

"Ramen! Ramen!"

"Lets go Naruto." Sighs Itachi.

"Yay! Ramen!"

Slowly the two make their way through Konoha towards a ramen stand where a old man and his daughter worked.

"Hello Naruto. Hello Itachi." The teenage girl says.

"Hello Ayame. One miso please."

"Hi Ayame! Two miso, and three pork please!"

"Coming right up."

"So, what have you been doing today you two?"

"Naruto stole my mask…again…"

"Hahaha, and he still doesn't catch me!"

"How can a trained ninja, hailed as a prodigy, not catch a five year old boy?" asks Ayame.

"I don't know." Itachi sighed.

"Ramen is ready!" Teuchi yells from the back of the stand.

"Ramen!!!" Naruto yells as he starts eating.

"How can he eat this much?!" asked Itachi to noone in particular.

"Its ramen." Naruto says, as if that was the answer to all the worlds problems.

After the two finish eating they walk through the streets to the Uchiha compound.

"How much longer?"

"We're almost there Naruto."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are w-"

"No!!!!"

2 years later…

"Look nii-chan! I did it!"

Naruto flashed through some more hand seals and breathed out a fireball.

Not wanting to be outdone Sasuke did the same.

"Good job Naruto, Sasuke. Now for some sparring."

"Yes!" Came Naruto and Sasukes reply.

"Ready. Set. GO!"

Sasuke and Naruto charged at each other. Sasuke quickly threw a quick punch at Narutos head, but Naruto ducked under it and tried a leg sweep. Quickly jumping over the leg, Sasuke kicked Naruto in the stomach sending him back. Jumping back Sasuke threw some shuriken at Naruto who was still doubled late sasuke realized Naruto didn't have time to dodge.

"NARUTO MOVE!"

The shuriken were moving right for his head. He couldn't dodge. He was dead.

"NO! I will not die!"

All of a sudden lava made its way out of the ground too fast for the eye to see. Right in the path of the shuriken.

Itachi and Sasuke looked at the sight in awe. Sasuke because he was wondering what had happened. Itachi because Naruto had finally unlocked his bloodline. Fugaku had told Itachi a year ago about Narutos origins. He had also told Itachi about Naruto's tenant. To Itachi it changed nothing. He knew the difference between the kunai and the scroll.

Now that Naruto had unlocked his bloodline, they could tell him about his origins.

Sasuke was looking at Naruto in surprise. Naruto was just staring at the lava with a puzzled expression on his face. Time to take them back home."Sasuke, Naruto, we are heading back to the compound. Ok?"

"Alright."

"Hai."

The three started walking back to the compound. Walking through town, the boys started wondering where all Sasukes fan-girls were.

"Hey Teme, where are your fan-girls?"

"Now that you mention it…I don't know. That might be a bad thing."

"Ya think?"

With Sasuke's fan-girls...

"All right girls, I now convene this meeting of the Sasuke lover's club! First order of buisness is coming up with a plan to get some of Sasuke's hair!" All the fan-girls squeeled in delight.

Back with Sasuke, Naruto, and Itachi...

"All right you two, stop thinking about it now."

"Hai." Came the reply.

Soon the three reached the compound. Taking Naruto in and telling Sasuke to go get father, Itachi went into his fathers office to wait for Fugaku.

"Itachi-nii-san, what are we doing?"

"We're waiting for father. We need to talk about what happened today."

"Oh."

Naruto and Itachi sat in Fugaku's office for five minutes, when they heard the floorboards squeeking in the hallway.

"What was that?"

"I don't know. Stay here." Itachi knew that that wasn't any clansman out there. Nobody came for his father at this time of the day. They knew he would not be in here. Due to this, it must be an intruder. Itachi got a bad feeling in the pit of his stomach.

"Hai."

Walking out of the hallway, Itachi looked down the hallway. There was a person wearing black clothes, black ninja sandals, a black head wrapping, and carrying a katana. Quickly drawing his ninjato, Itachi got ready to fight the intruder.

"Hand over the boy."

"Why? Also, No."

"Then you have secured your fate."

"Really?"

Quickly activating his sharingan, Itachi ducked under the mans sword and tried a stab at the man. The man blocked it with the flat of his blade and sent a downward slash at Itachi. Jumping back, Itachi sheathed his sword and quickly formed the handseals for a jutsu.

"Katon: Mythical phoenix fire jutsu!"

"Suiton: Water Bullet jutsu!"

The fire and water colided making a thick fog in the hallway. Looking around the man searched for Itachi. Itachi snuck up on the man and stabbed him through the back of the neck with his blade. Quickly cleaning his blade, Itachi rushed back into the office to find Naruto huddled behind the chair.

"Naruto, it's alright."

"W-where is everyone?"

"They're coming. Now relax, get some sleep."

"H-hai."

Naruto lay down on the couch and quickly fell asleep. Not soon after Fugaku entered the office holding a kunai stained red with blood.

"Is Naruto alright?"

"Hai. It seems they wanted him."

"It seems so. From now on you are to shadow him wherever he goes. If they want him, they are not going to stop at this attempt. It would seem someone found out about his heritage."

"How many more were there?" Itachi asked.

"Ten assassins that had infiltrated the compound. Shisui is finishing of the rest right now. I've killed two already."

"That is bad." Said Itachi with a grimace.

"Yes, it is. You are also to help him unlock his bloodline and train him to be a ninja, train Sasuke too."

"Already have been doing that. Also Naruto just unlocked one of them today."

"Really? Which one?"

"Yoton."

"Well, that makes this easier. Start training them. I want them to be at high chuunin by the time they graduate at the academy."

"Hai father. When will he unlock the second one?"

"I don't know. Now take Naruto too bed."

"Hai."

After Itachi exited the room Fugaku went too the safe hidden behind a picture of Minato and opened it. Quickly Fugaku took out four scrolls before closing it.

"Naruto, hopefully you will be able to make use of these."

Well, that's the end of the first chapter! Hope you liked it! Also, there may or may not be minor Sakura bashing. I haven't decided yet. Sasuke will be a good guy, this is due to the fact that he grows up living with Naruto. The Uchiha Massacre will not occur.
