I do not own Naruto…sadly.

Chapter One

I walked into the Hokage's office hesitantly, noticing how grim it was. It was midnight and I had just come from parole around Konoha since I was in the ANBU. The office was dark since the power went off and only a single light was lit in the office.

"The power is out in all of Konoha. The kyuubi attack has left many dead or in need of medical attention. All of them are shinobi, and Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze is deceased," I reported to the Third Hokage solemnly.

"Yes, we were expecting a weakening of the sealing jutsu but nothing like this. It was a massacre and thanks to Minato did we survive," the Hokage was facing away from me. He looked out the window and all I saw of him was shadow.

"Why have I been called in sir?" I asked as I cautiously stepped forward, the shadows in the room were playing with my mind after what I had just witnessed.

"I have a mission for you. An S-rank mission," he said. I was surprised. At the moment I was the youngest in ANBU being fourteen. S-rank was way out of my scope and better suited for more senior shinobi.

"Sir?" I questioned, wondering what was going through his mind.

"You are the best qualified shinobi, kunoichi in your case, for this," he said finally turning around to face me in his chair. In his arms a baby, which had recently by the looks of it, was sleeping. It was blond with strange whisker markings on his cheeks.

"What?" I asked majorly confused.

"This is Uzumaki, Naruto," he said softly.

"Uzumaki…the new jinchuriki?" I asked in disbelief as he placed him in my hands.

"Take care of him. The villagers will hate him for what he is," he said sadly, "Even if his father sacrificed his life for this village."

"His father…Minato-sama he…tried to protect my…dad in the mission…The one that killed…him. Mother told me once…I'll look after him," I looked down at the child. He started to cry suddenly, his shrieks bringing back from my memories. I started to rock him trying to shush him.

"Your house has room for him?" he asked.

"Yes."

"The other shinobi will assist you if Naruto gets in any trouble because of the other nations who want the kyuubi. I have his things here somewhere for you to live together as soon as possible," the Hokage said.

"That?" I asked pointing at the bag by his desk.

"Yes, take good care of him," he handed me the bag and took a bottle out for me. I smiled at him and gave it to Naruto and he finally grew quiet. I took of my mask revealing my brown eyes to Naruto as he gazed back at me with his sky blue eyes. I smiled as he tugged my orange-red hair. I pulled his hand away and took him home.

"No one's going to do anything to you 'till I'm gone. You going to have a family Naruto even if your parents are gone, just like mine," I whispered at him as he fell asleep.
