The Ninja King. Chapter 1: The Circle Of Life.
(Note: This is a story that I wrote in May of 2013, which was almost a year ago. It's the Naruto fanfic version of one of my all-time favorite Disney movies The Lion King. I was actually inspired by worlds-darkness's Naruto version of The Lion King and thought of writing my own version of the story. Here's cast, and I hope you enjoy the story! :D)

Once upon a time, in a village and kingdom called Konoha, the Village Hidden In The Leaves, there was a king named Minato, and a queen named Kushina. For a while, they have longed for a child, until one day, their wish was granted, when something miraculous happened. On that special day, a beautiful baby boy was born.
His name... was Naruto.
The ninja of the kingdom was gathering around to witness the presentation of Naruto.
Meanwhile, back in the Konoha hospital, Kushina had just finished giving birth to Naruto.
Jiraiya and Tsunade, Minato's parents were about to present Naruto to the kingdom.
"So. Minato, Kushina, what have you decided to call your son?" Tsunade asked.
"Well, Father suggested that we should name him after one of Father's characters in one of his books," replied Minato.
"Ah. So you're planning on calling him "Naruto?" questioned Tsunade.
As Minato and Kushina began to smile, Minato said:
"Naruto it is then."
Jiraiya and Tsunade smiled with Minato and Kushina.
And so, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Minato, and Kushina walked out of the hospital and back to the Hokage monuments to show Naruto to everyone in the entire kingdom.
When they went outside on the rooftop of the Hokage's office, a podium appeared in front of them, and Minato spoke into the microphone, saying:
"Ladies and gentlemen. Kushina and I would like to thank you for coming to celebrate the birth of our son. Now, we present to you, your future king of Konoha," Minato continued as he raised Naruto up to the skies. "Naruto!"
The villagers began to cheer for the birth of Naruto.
However, Jiraiya noticed that there was one person missing out on all the festivities... and that person who wasn't there to witness the birth of Naruto... was none other than Jiraiya's older brother Orochimaru.
