Hello everyone. This story is made on a challenge from kohakukitsune. I hope I can make a good story. So lets get this story on the road.

–

Please Review and please don't hold back. Tell me if something bothered you, I can handle the truth.

–

A thirteen year old blond boy sat in the biggest tree of the Namikaze compound and watched said family enjoy themselves.

"I did it daddy!", a four year old red head yelled.

"Very good Naruko. You are so good.", his father cheered.

His daughter had just managed to unlock her chakra despite her young age. Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, had begun his daughters training today. The boy scowled as he watched his Hokage interact with his daughter. Then the door to the house opened and revealed a tall red head. Kushina Uzumaki looked at her family with a big hearty smile. She loved how father and daughter acted together. The kid in the tree just sighed and thought about his past.

flashback

–

A 4 year blond boy looked at his father with teary eyes.

"Get out Naruto. I have no time to deal with a monster like you!", Minato snarled refusing to call the boy his son.

Naruto just stood there with tears in his eyes and hung his head. With that he left not only the room but also the house. He ran through the village not seeing the frowns or hearing the hushed whispers of the people he ran past. Finally he reached the Forest of Death and slipped through a hole in the fence and vanished into the deadly wood. After what felt like hours he finally stopped and slumped against a big tree to cry.

The big animals of the forest turned their attention to the newcomer. Hunger flashed in their eyes as they followed the crying voice. They saw the crying boy but something stopped them. The aura that surrounded him. It wasn't malicious but soothing. It felt calm. So instead of pouncing and devouring the kid, they tip toed to it and lain around it. Creating a big circle of calm animals around it.

"You shouldn't cry over such a bastard.", a sudden demonic voice stated firm.

"Who... who are.. you...", the boy sobbed not looking up.

"Come on I will bring you to me,", the voice stated and the boy felt a tug on his consciousness before he was enveloped in darkness.

Naruto opened his eyes and saw a wide green area with a giant forest on the side and a traditional Japanese house behind him. He wiped away the tears to get a good view. His mouth hang open.

"Behind you.", the voice said simple.

The kid turned around and saw a tall man in a blood red kimono standing on the veranda. But what caught the boys attention were nine orange tails swaying behind him.

"Kyuubi?", the kid asked, the pain completely forgotten.

"You are quite good kiddo. I would have thought that you would snap at me or cry for help.", the man ran hand through his hair.

"Ummm.", Naruto tried to find the right words.

"Yes?", Kyuubi inquired.

"Can you talk differently? You sound scary.", the kid shuddered a bit.

Kyuubi stared at its host for a moment before a chuckle escaped him.

"You are quite ok kid.", he laughed in a normal voice.

Naruto stared at Kyuubi with big eyes.

"Come here kiddo. We have some talking to do.", the Bijuu smiled and sat down at the veranda.

Naruto hesitated for a moment before he walked over to the man and sat beside him. He looked up to the mans face and tried to give a smile.

"I have a offer for you Naruto.", the man stated firm but not angry.

"What... what do you mean?", the kid asked.

"I offer you training to get stronger.", the man began calm.

"REALLY?!", the kid jumped up and looked at the man with glittering eyes.

"But it will be harder then anything you have ever endured in your short life.", he continued calm not noticing that he was interrupted.

Naruto on the other hand didn't listen anymore. He was to eager to get stronger, to be interested in the malicious training the Kyuubi would give him.

"I can get stronger?", Naruto inquired.

'This kid is a monster. Nobody would accept my training knowing it would be hell on earth.', the Kyuubi thought surprised.

"Yes you can get stronger. But remember that my training will be hellish.", Kyuubi stated firm.

Naruto looked at him with big puppy eyes. The Kyuubi sighed.

"Ok ok. But lets make some things clear.", the man sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

'This kid will become the strongest of the strongest.', the man thought with sigh.

"First of all my name is Kurama not Kyuubi. That name came from you humans.", Kurama stated firm making Naruto nod.

"Ok Kurama-sensei.", Naruto smiled.

'Sensei? This has a good ring to it.', Kurama thought as a smile grew on his face.

"Secondly I will give you two gifts.", he began but was interrupted by Naruto jumping at him, giving him a big hug.

Kurama sat there with the little kid hugging the life out of him. He stared around not being used such a sudden affection. Following the memories of his former host he returned the hug. Minutes later they parted and looked away from each other. Kurama coughed and tried to restart the conversation.

"Well... ok... to your gifts.", he coughed.

Naruto nodded also not really used to another persons touch.

"Since I'm the strongest Bijuu I can give you a part of my father.", he paused.

"I will give you the Rinnegan.", he stated firm.

Naruto looked at him puzzled.

"It's the best of the three dojutsu. The Byakugan and the Sharingan are good but not as good as the Rinnegan.", Kurama explained with a serious face.

Naruto's eyes grew bigger and gave a eager nod.

"But the other gift will be painful.", Kurama continued.

"Why?", Naruto asked confused.

"I will give you a body related kekkei genkai. This will change your body and this process will be painful.", the man stated calm but the worry in his voice audible.

"How much?", Naruto asked not really sure if he could handle it.

"It will feel like your whole body is melting before it begins to reconstruct itself. I will keep you in here during the process so it won't be all to bad.", Kurama explained.

Naruto only nodded and looked towards the wide green meadow in front of the house. He seemed to collect himself for what was coming. Kurama eyed the mental embodiment of his container.

"Can we do it now?", the kid asked calm showing that he was ready to bear anything thrown at him.

"OK... Lets do it!", Kurama smile turned evil and his demonic voice returned.

Naruto was immediately engulfed in red chakra and began to scream. The change of his body had begun and Kurama had set to work on his container.

–

Meanwhile the Hokage sat in his office and stared at the door. The same door he had thrown out his son hours before. A heavy lump forming in his gut.

"Hey kiddo.", a new voice greeted and ripped him from his thoughts.

He turned to the side and saw a older man with long spiky white hair crouching in the window.

"Hey Jiraiya-sensei. What are you doing here?". The blond man asked.

"Can't I visit my student once in a while?", the old man asked in a mock hurt tone.

The Hokage gave him a are you seriously asking that look and the toad sage shrugged.

"I'm here because of a prophecy from the toads.", he stated serious.

Minato perked up at that and gave his former sensei a big smile.

"The prophecy speaks of a child born from the two strongest ninja of this era. The child will bear a burden and a strength inside of it. Walking the path of light and warmth it will our savior or be casted to darkness and be its destroyer.", the toad sage finished and Minato paled.

'What have I done?', he thought.

"Minato I believe that child is Naruto. He holds the Kyuubi and is the son of the strongest ninja in this era. You have to let me train him.", the sage nearly pleaded.

Why? Simple. If the world ends then he can't make his precious research anymore. When Minato on the other hand didn't answer and paled even further, making him look like Orochimaru, Jiraiya just had to ask.

"What's wrong kiddo?"

"I... I... I have made a big mistake.", he stuttered and hit his head against the table with a loud thud.

His sensei looked at him confused.

"What do you mean? What did you do?", Jiraiya asked with a very bad feeling in his gut.

Minato stayed silent and repetitive banged his head against the table till he bleed. Only then he raised his head and looked at the old man.

"I think I already casted him into the darkness."

These simple words made Jiraiya's fears triple. His own student had casted his son aside for whatever reason he had had at the time.

"What... what did you do?", he asked hoping he had somehow misheard his student.

"He came to me... a few hours ago asking for training. I just... snapped... and called him a... monster... and that I didn't want... anything to do with him...", the Hokage stuttered under the growing evil look of his sensei.

"YOU DID WHAT?", the man yelled so loud that the room vibrated.

"Sensei I...", Minato began but was cut off.

"DON'T SENSEI ME NOW MINATO!", with that the toad sage dashed from the office in search of his godson.

Minato on the other hand looked at the spot his sensei stood moments before with a pained expression.

–

While Jiraiya dashed through Konoha in search of his godson, deep inside the forest of death a screaming voice was heard. The animals laying around the boy looked at the spastic body screaming his soul out. Not one of them knew what to do so they stayed in their places. The screaming continued for another hour till Naruto fell silent. The snake closest to the boy etched forward to look at him and saw that his body had changed. In comparison to his former short maybe a bit tubby body he was now a bit taller and well trained with abs. But something else caught it's eyes. There under it's skin something moved. It was like hundreds of small snakes moving through his body. A sudden groan made every animal look at the kids face.

"What happened?", Naruto groaned as he opened his now purple eyes.

"I have finished changing your body. Starting tomorrow you will start your training under me. But for now you should look around. You have some new friends.", Kurama stated calm.

Naruto sat up and looked around. He saw a huge amount of animals lying around and staring at him. From giant tigers and snakes on the floor to enormous owls on branches above him.

"Ummm hey?", the kid waved calm.

That woke them from their trance and they stood up. A inch long orange snake with light green eyes slithered up to him, up his leg and slipped in his right sleeve. Closely behind the snake came a small black fox with yellow eyes that jumped on his shoulder and nuzzled its head against his. Finally a brown owl with red eyes landed on his other shoulder and looked at him with its big eyes.

"So you guys wanna come along?", he asked calm.

The fox and the owl nodded while the snake's head emerged from his sleeve and nodded at him too. Then Naruto turned to the bigger animals to ask their permission. They gave him a nod and vanished back to their hunting grounds.

"So what about names for you three?", he asked gaining a curious look from the three.

"I think they already have names kiddo.", Kurama laughed as the animals shook their heads.

'You are right but they can't tell me. So I need names for them.', the kid thought back.

"I could establish a mental link between you four. Like this you could communicate with them even if you ever get separated. And I could teach them some stuff while you are busy.", Kurama suggested.

'That sounds good. Let me ask them.', Naruto smiled and turned to his new friends.

"What do you three think about sharing a deeper connection with me? My sensei can help us.", he asked and they looked at each other.

While they thought about it, Naruto began to look around. With his changed vision everything seemed so different. He could see blue mist lingering in the area.

'Is this chakra?' he thought surprised by his sudden intellect.

"Yes it is and let me guess you're surprised by your sudden increase of intellect right?", Kurama chuckled.

'Obviously sensei. I'm just 4 years old and now I'm as mature as a adult if not more.', Naruto sighed inwardly.

"I'm sorry boy but this was a side effect of your transformation. You gained all my memories but you can't access them all at the moment.", Kurama shrugged.

Naruto just shook his head and turned his attention back to his new friends who seemed to wait for him to finish his inner conversation.

"So what do you three think?", he asked and they all nodded.

"Then sensei work do your wonders.", Naruto smiled.

Small twigs of chakra emerged from his belly and slithered into the three animals. Naruto watched this in wonder as his sensei's memories came to him.

"So you three. What are your names?", he asked again.

"I'm Subime.", the snake girl hissed.

"Akune.", the owl nodded her head.

"And I'm Minka.", the fox girl purred.

"Well I'm Naruto.", Naruto smiled at them and began to walk back home.

'Wait up old man. You will pay the price for shunning me.', Naruto thought with a evil smile.

"What old man?", Akune asked as she tilted her head, making the other two look at him too.

"Oh I forgot that we all share a mental link.", Naruto shook his head.

"The old man is my father the Hokage.", he answered making their eyes go wide.

"You are the son of the Yondaime?", Subime whispered.

"Only by blood.", Naruto growled signaling the three that it was a sore topic.

'This is going to be a topic for a later time.' the three thought simultaneously.

'You know that I can hear you right?', Naruto thought with a smile.

The three blushed and looked away not really wanting to look at him right now out of embarrassment, while Kurama's howling laughter echoed through their minds.

flashback end

Naruto sighed at the memory and looked upwards. Above him sat Subime and Minka looking at the elder Namikaze's with disgust. Akune went back to the forest because her mother needed her for something.

After the four had met Naruto had devoted himself to training and studying. He had graduated early together with his best friend Itachi and they joined the ANBU corps together. Shortly after Itachi became a captain his friend followed him in his rank.

Naruto just sighed and stood up and stretched his back. As he stretched his arms out, Subime slithered back into his sleeve though she was at lest 3 inches long now. Minka jumped on his shoulder and the three vanished in a leaf shunshin.

–

Hours later Weasel kneeled before the Hokage after informing of the Uchiha's coup against Konoha. Minato sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose, He would have no choice but to order their execution.

"Hokage-sama may I give you a option of my own?", Weasel asked firm.

Minato gave him a questioning look but nodded. After a short chakra spike from Weasel another ANBU captain appeared beside him. This one wore a fox mask and a black cloak. He also kneeled before the Hokage.

"Why have you called for me Weasel?", he inquired.

"The Uchiha clan are going for their coup. We are in need of your seals.", Weasel stated making the Hokage raise an eyebrow.

'What could an ANBU know about seals that I don't know about?', he thought curious as he caught the glimpse of the family picture on his desk.

He cringed at the sight but shrugged it off which didn't go unnoticed by the two ANBU.

"Hokage-sama I agree with Weasel. With my seal it wouldn't be necessary to kill any Uchiha.", Fox stated just as calm as Weasel.

"What are you talking about. I am a seal master after all and I don't know of any seal that could help us in this situation.", Minato stated a bit angry.

"With all due respect Hokage-sama I have a seal to deactivate the well known Uchiha curse.", Fox stated again.

Minato was about to dismiss the ANBU and have him demoted when Weasel held up his hand.

"Hokage-sama. I'm living proof of effect of the seal.", he stated and pushed the hair from his neck to show the Hokage the seal placed there.

Minato stared at the seal with shock.

"Explain yourself Weasel.", he barked.

"During our time in the academy Fox and I were great friends. He noticed my sudden changes in behavior and investigated it. Soon he found the reason for my change. I'm one of the few Uchiha's affected by the family curse. He designed a seal of his own together with his familiars and placed it on me. I felt the grip of the curse over my mind lift immediately. We even had it checked by the great toad sage and he approved it.", Weasel explained monotone.

Minato stared at the two ANBU captains in shock.

'Jiraiya-sensei knew of such a talent in the ANBU corps and didn't inform me? Why would he do that?', the Hokage thought with narrowed eyes.

"You speak of familiars. What kind of familiars?", Minato inquired.

To his shock a orange snake slithered from Fox's sleeve and a fox peeked out from inside the hood. Minato tensed a bit but was soon stopped.

"These two are two of my three familiars Hokage-sama. The snake is Subime and the fox is Minka. The third isn't present at the moment because she had to visit her mother.", Fox explained calm.

The Hokage stared at the teen before him and his animal partners.

'Why does he seem so familiar?', he thought a bit confused.

"Hokage-sama.", Weasel stated firm getting his attention.

"Can we deploy?", he asked.

"Do that Weasel. Fox you will be in charge of the operation. Take a squad with you just in case.", the Hokage ordered.

With that the two ANBU captains vanished. Minato sighed and slumped back in his chair. A new seal master was in Konoha and he had even found a solution to one of the oldest problems in Konoha. He actually managed to create a seal against the Uchiha curse. Suddenly his mind returned to the picture on his desk. In it was his whole family. Kushina with Naruko in her arms standing by his side and Naruto standing further away from the three, just barely in the picture with a scowl on his face. He sighed as he once again realized how much his son had distanced himself from his family after he had yelled at him years ago.

–

The ANBU squad appeared in the Uchiha compound already briefed on the mission.

"You know what to do.", Fox stated cold receiving a nod from everyone.

With they dispersed and got to work. While the ANBU hunted down their respective targets, Fox and Weasel had their eyes of three very important people.

"You take Fugaku-san while I handle the elders.", Fox whispered to his friend and they parted ways.

Weasel sneaked into the house and towards Fugaku's office. Said man sat at his desk and thought on how to start the coup. He didn't even see it coming as his body was suddenly paralyzed. Out of the corner of his eyes he saw an ANBU with a weasel mask.

'Itachi you traitor!', he thought as his son placed a seal tag on his neck.

The moment the seal activated the man felt his mind becoming clearer and sharper. It was as if a heavy burden was lifted from his mind. The paralyzing effect left Fugaku's body soon after and he stood up unsteady.

"What... what did you do to me?", he inquired.

"I deactivated the family curse with a seal.", Itachi stated monotone.

"But how?", his father was confused.

"With a seal a friend of mine developed.", his son shrugged.

"But won't a seal wash of over time?", Fugaku inquired further.

"No. This seal is embedded into your skin and only visible through a special seal master technique. Mine is only visible because it wasn't so far developed at the time I got it.", he explained while showing his neck to his father.

Fugaku eyed the seal before he shrugged.

"I guess I will have some things to make up for, to my family especially, don't I?", he asked and received a nod from his son.

"But not today father. Mother and Sasuke are at the Namikaze compound right now. I had her away from the compound because I didn't want her to be hurt. Now I have to return to my comrades till everything is over.", Itachi smiled and left Fugaku to think to himself.

'I hope I can make up for everything I did over the years.', he sighed and fell back in his chair.

–

Meanwhile everyone affected had a seal placed on them and squad returned to the ANBU HQ. Fox appeared once again before the Hokage and kneeled down.

"Hokage-sama.", he called.

Minato looked up from his work.

"Report Fox.", he ordered.

"The Uchiha coup has been evaded. Everyone affected was marked with the seal and reports from the squad show that the seal work perfect.", Fox reported.

'Just who are you?', Minato thought.

"Fox remove your mask.", he ordered.

Naruto rose an eyebrow but complied. As the mask left his cold and emotionless face, Minato paled. There before him kneeled his son who should only have made it to genin by now with cold purple eyes.

'Wait purple? Naruto has blue eyes. Wait... these look like the Rinnegan. Could it be that he somehow gained the strongest dojutsu? But how?', Minato tried to think of a solution.

"Is that everything Hokage-sama?", Naruto inquired calm and cold.

Minato only nodded weakly and Naruto vanished in a shunshin with sparks appearing in his place after he had put his mask back on. Minato just sat there and thought about his mistakes.

–

"Thank you for your help Naruto.", Itachi whispered as they entered the changing room.

"Don't worry about it my friend. Your family is as much of a family to me as it is to you. I don't know what I would have done if they all had died tonight.", Naruto stated firm as he threw his uniform in his locker after the girls slipped out of his coat and went to the shower.

Itachi joined him soon along with some others and everyone began to hold smalltalk. Meanwhile Naruto and Itachi stayed silent.

"You know Itachi. There is a addition to the seal I have never told anyone about.", Naruto stated suddenly getting his friends attention.

"The effect of the seal will be handed down to your descendants but it will also give them a immunity to mind controlling or altering seals.", he stated with a shrug as he shut off his shower.

"You should return to your family. I will handle the report to the Hokage.", he stated and left the shower room.

Itachi looked after his friend with a smile and finished his shower. When he came in the changing room the door to the hallway closed as Naruto just left to go home

–

"What have I done?", Minato whispered as he realized how less he knew about his son and how he neglected him even after Jiraiya bringing him the prophecy from the toads.

After Naruto had distanced himself from his family, Minato and Kushina hadn't really done anything about it because they thought it was only his rebellious phase. Minato knew that he had hurt him but not to this degree. Dejected he left his office and began to walk home, not wanting to use his Flying Thunder God technique and face his family all to soon.

–

This is it for now. I hope to continue as soon as possible but I can't promise it to be on weekly basis.
