How it All Began
"Is this him?" asked a wild-looking, brown-haired woman who was currently holding up a blond-haired infant with whisker marks.
"Yes Tsume. This is the boy you are going to raise," replied an old man in red and white robes.
The woman named Tsume quirked an eyebrow at the statement. "Forgive the question Lord Hokage, but why, of all people would you choose me to raise this particular boy?" she queried.
Sarutobi chuckled. "My dear Tsume, the boy is an orphan and the Kyuubi's jailer. He needs a mother and…" his voice dropped to a whisper. "It was stated in the Yondaime's will that his son be raised in a loving family should anything happen to him or his wife."
Tsume's eyes widened. "The boy is the Yondaime's son and the container of the monster that killed my husband?"
"Yes," nodded the old man. "But this is an S-class secret. No one knows this except you and me. Don't breathe a word about this to the village and the other clans. The last thing we need is the boy to be ostracized by his own community."
"Of course, I understand," gasped Tsume. "But I still do wonder, why did you choose me to be the boy's mother? Why not Yoshino? Or Mikoto? Or…"
Sarutobi chuckled again. "Tsume, the reason I chose you is because I feel that you are the best kind of mother there is. You appear harsh, but you are fair and you love your children dearly. Yoshino is the kind of mother that would nag her children to no end, and Mikoto is the kind of mother that spoils and babies her children. I want the boy to grow up into a well-rounded individual, not a henpecked rebel or a spoiled brat."
"O-of course, Lord Hokage." Tsume blushed at the compliment on her maternal skills. "I will raise this pup as if he was my own. Kiba and Hana will be glad to have a new brother."
As Tsume Inuzuka got up to leave, the Hokage called her attention once more. "One more thing," he said. "The child already has a name."
"So what is his name?"
"His name is Naruto."
As Tsume walked down the streets of Konoha, she looked down to the baby sleeping peacefully in her arms. 'Naruto Inuzuka,' she smiled at the child. 'A wonderful name for my wonderful new son.'
The years flew by relatively quick as life in the Inuzuka household went by as normal. Or what was normal by Inuzuka standards. Hana, now seven, began her first day at the Academy. When she went, the boys- Naruto and Kiba began clamoring to go with her. When Tsume said no, the boys threw themselves to the ground and began a screech-a-thon that could be heard throughout the Land of Fire. This of course was quickly remedied when Tsume said that she was going to take them to the park instead.
At the park, the boys were supervised by the watchful eyes of Tsume and her canine partner Kuromaru. As the two boys began to frolic in the grass, the Inuzuka clan head took the time to assess her children.
Hana, her eldest, was the only daughter. After loosing her father in such an early age, she was always in a hurry to grow up. She also acted as if she was more mature than what she was supposed to be, causing her to sometimes be annoyed by her brothers' childish antics.
Kiba, her biological son, was older than Naruto by three months. He was a wild little spitfire who constantly got into trouble. Tsume chuckled at the memory of Kiba when he chased after a puppy to only get stuck in its kennel. It took some axle grease and the help of Shikaku Nara and Chouza Akimichi to get him out.
Then there was Naruto, her youngest and adopted son. He was always cheerful and energetic. In some ways, he was like Kiba, but where Kiba was very wild, Naruto was somewhat more behaved. Unfortunately, that didn't mean that he didn't make his share of trouble. In all truth, both Kiba and Naruto were practically inseparable. One was never without the other. It was also apparent that wherever the two boys went, trouble was sure to follow.
"What are you thinking?" Kuromaru's voice broke the silence.
Tsume sighed, an unlikely act from an Inuzuka. "Nothing much. Just thinking about the pups and their progress." She sighed again. "They grow up so fast. Hana's going to school, and those boys, as wild they are, are turning out quite nicely."
"Hn. Yes, those boys are the epitome of the power of your clan," replied the black dog.
Just then, a piercing howl cut their conversation short. Kiba had apparently stepped into an anthill and got bitten by fire ants as Naruto pointed and laughed. Shaking her head, Tsume went over to calm her hysterical sons.
Four more years had passed. During that duration of time, the Inuzuka children had made new friends. When Hana was eight, her mother gave her not one, but three partners to work with, the Haimaru triplets. The puppies bonded well with the little girl. It wasn't long after that Hana began her veterinary studies to help her animal partners.
As for Naruto and Kiba, their time at the park also helped them gain new friends. So far, they had made friends with the second generation Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Aburame and Hyuuga heirs, and a civilian girl by the name of Sakura Haruno.
However, new friends also came with new enemies or rivals, in a sense. Hana had come home crying on her third day of school saying that one Itachi Uchiha had called her meals "dog food" after she offered him some. Naruto and Kiba had also declared war upon Itachi's younger brother Sasuke after they demanded him to tell the elder Uchiha to apologize to their sister and Sasuke just "hnned" and walked off.
Since then, there was a sort of family feud between the Inuzukas and the Uchihas. It became a common occurrence for the Inuzuka brothers to go to the Uchiha district and lob stink bombs over the fence just to have Fugaku Uchiha drag them off to their mother, engage into a verbal World War III with her, and stalk off, fuming about barbarous ways of the Inuzuka. As for the boys, being grounded was an understatement.
It was now Naruto's sixth birthday. The party was being held in the Inuzuka's backyard, and it was abuzz with the excited chatter of the children concerning the fact that they would be going to the Academy next year. The excitement and joy was further amplified when Sakura said her parents said she could go to the Academy along with her friends.
The children had a lot of fun. There were games like "Fish the koi" and target practice. There had been prizes and cake. But best of all were the gifts Naruto received from his friends and family. His family had gotten him a set of shuriken and kunai. Shikamaru, being the lazy-butt that he was, brought a monetary gift. Chouji had brought him a coupon book of all the eateries in Konoha. Ino had brought him a potted cactus, as Naruto had an interest in horticulture. Sakura had given him a set of new clothes, and Hinata had given him a frog plushy. Lastly, Shino had given him a stainless steel watch-compass, which made Kiba a little jealous.
All in all, it was a day of fun and surprises, but the biggest surprise was when the Hokage had shown up after everyone had left. He let Naruto wear his hat as his picture was taken, and gave him a long gift wrapped in canvas. Curious, Naruto had asked Sarutobi what was inside, but the old man only chuckled and told him to open the gift. The content filled Naruto with awe and joy. The Hokage's present was a short one-edged sword, the kind of sword that ninjas used.
"Thanks, Ji-ji!" Naruto cried, hugging the old geezer.
"You're more than welcome, Naruto," replied the old man. "You'd better take care of that sword you know." He gave the boy a wink. "That's the Yondaime's blade."
The following howl of joy was actually registered on the Richter scale.
______________________________________________________
In the same year, the Anbu found three boys of age 6. They had each five sommening tattoos on their forearms and each had a wolf pup at their side. The boys were siblings , more exactly triplets. They had a very interesting kekkei genkai.
The Anbu took the boys to the hokage.
"Hokage – sama we found these three children near the part of the village where kyuubi attaked" said the Anbu with the cat mask.
" What do we do with them?" asked the Anbu with the tiger mask. The boys were unconscious and looked like they had been tortured.
" Call Tsume Inuzuka back. And wake the children up, I want to talk to them myself." Said the Hokage.
It took them better than one hour to wake the three boys. When the boys woke up, they looked around them. When they first saw the old man Hokage they tried to run away. The problem is that their body protested so all they did was to cry allowed.
"Why do you look as you are six?" asked the aged Hokage.
" Our family did experiments on us before they died, and some snake guy or something like that did the same." Said one of the boys, who was dressed in a nice dark-green panties , a dark blue shirt and had a backpack on his back. He looked like he was six when in reality he was only four years old.
" What kind of experiments did your family on you, if you don't mind" asked the Hokage.
" Our parents weren't pleased with our kekkei genkai , and wanted to try and made us have the Inuzuka clan's kekkei genkai. I mean come on, we are very pleased with our kekkei genkai." Said the same boy.
" What kind of kekkei genkai do you have" asked the Hokage.
" You won't laugh,right?" asked another one of the boys.
" Laugh? Why? No, I won't laugh" said the Hokage.
" Well we have almost the same kekkei genkai as the Inuzuka, a doujutsu that is a combination between sharingan and byakuggan, we named these doujutsu the rengan. The fact that we have been the fourth hokage's children, that Naruto or whatever his name is is our younger brother, that this is only a henge – we are fourteen actually. We have a telephaty too. And dad is the leader of an orgazition that is called Akatsuki and no,they don't look for bijuu, they only look after us and Naruto and Inuzuka –san here or we can go to them." Replied Gabriel. The boys names were Gabriel, Alexander, Sean, Scott.
'What he meant that Minato is alive? And what did he mean by being Naruto's older brother's?' thought the aged man.
Then suddenly a door opened and in walked a 6 year old blonde-haired boy and a woman with red marks on her cheeks. They looked at the four teens in the room. They dropped the henge after they told the truth to the hokage.
When they saw Naruto they smiled a happy smile.
" Naruto you have a combined kekkei genkai" Scott told him, proceeding in telling him everything.
