Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, but I own the plot unless some else has done it before me and I don't think so… Someone tell me if there is. Violence and Swearing contained.

In the Hidden Village of Konoha, a large nine tailed demon fox was randomly obliterating everything it can see. Not far away from all this, the Yondaime hokage was standing on top of the large frog boss Gamabunta, he was staring at all of this happening; his foot was slightly twitching, as if wanting to go out there to fight, not long a man appeared, the famous Kakashi, he had silver hair and his forehead protector wasn't covering both his eyes like normal, he was carrying a newborn child in his hands. It had blond hair and blue eyes. Kakashi slowly and carefully handed they baby to Yondaime, after receiving the baby, he looked at it with a soft sad look. He then looked over to Kakashi and asked softly without taking his eyes off the child.

"Where did you get him from?"

"The forest, his mother died during child birth, there was no one I could sense for miles and the baby was the appropriate age"

"Does he have a name?'

"No"

"Are you sure that there's no one related to him?"

"Yes"

"Uzumaki Naruto" yondaime whispered.

"Huh?"

"His name shall be Uzumaki Naruto"

"ah.."

"This child is going to be one of the best hero the world has ever seen, make sure he isn't harmed...'

"Hai, sensei.."

The Kakashi just watched looking slightly sad while hokage jumped on Gamabunta's head and moved up to the Kyuubi, when the Kyuubi noticed him he continued moving in front looking angry. The Kyuubi tried to smash Gamabunta out of the way, however the frog boss just braced itself and when the Kyuubi was just about to smash at Gamabunta, he held Kyuubi shoulder and kept him still. The Kyuubi used its tail to smack Gamabunta, he seem to be taking a lot of damage from all the hits and was having trouble holding him but he refused to let go. Meanwhile on top Gamabunta the hokage was somehow managing to avoid the hits, he had Naruto on his back and was quickly doing a set of seals. When he finished the seals he yelled out "Shikifuujin!" and a blinding light erupted and before the Kyuubi faded away he whispered out a name with so much venom, that anyone that heard it would had flinched but no one heard it when he whispered out the name "Orochimaru.."

When the light faded away it revealed the hokage holding the child in his arms dropping down to the floor, but before his eyes closed he whispered to the child "Gomen..Naruto".

Sandaime and Kakashi walked up to the hokage both equally sad at the death of their friend and sensei. Although when Kakashi saw the child his eyes widened slightly, the child or Naruto now had dark red hair and blood red eyes.

Explanations:

When the Kyuubi was sealed in the babies body shikifuujin didn't act like it was supposed to, because of the fact that Kyuubi couldn't be sealed in an adult because it would mess up their chakra system, they placed the Kyuubi in a child. However because of them rushing slightly and also because they never tried the technique on a child they didn't stop to think that an infant could never bear the stress that the sealing would cause, thus the child the called that was originally named Naruto died. However because Shikifuujin didn't act as it was supposed to, it did not mean that it failed. A demon has two forms the form of a monster and the other a human. The human form was meant for a demon to blend in, so a demon in human form could have strange colors of hair but never demonic features unless they are a half-demon or one trying to scare people. Also Kyuubi's powers, past memories and ability to change back to a demon was all sealed instead of the whole thing. One more thing forgotten, every demon in human form has a tattoo of them in their demon form on their backs.

Why I called it A Demon In The Shadows, it's because Naruto, he isthe Kyuubi technically but lets just call him Naruto. I called it the name because Naruto is actually a demon but doesn't have the power or knowledge of one so his uhh demon side is in the shadows.. get it? Main reason is that i can't think of a better name, anyway next chapter i'll try to put more of the story that this short, short thing.
