In the Fire Nation the Village Hidden in the Leaves was going on like usual but there was sadness in the air. The week before they had been attacked by the ice goddess Shiva, the ten tailed Juubi and a strange creature that appeared to be made of melted moving metal. The Yondaime Hokage Minato Senju Namikaze was going to sacrifice his life in order to seal the beasts into his newborn son Naruto but the former Hokage Sasuke Sarutobi knocked him out and did the sealing in his place. And to the surprise of everyone he was able to seal the three beasts into the little boy. But what they did not know was that the beasts allowed themselves to be sealed in the little boy, secretive looks on their faces as they disappeared into the seal. And to the delight of Minato his son was treated like the great hero he was and not like a monster because he saved the entire village.

Orochimaru and his assistant Kabuto Yakushi had been great friends of the family so they were always allowed to visit the little boy when they were in town before and after missions. They loved to visit with him but they believed that he was going to be raised to be an extremely spoiled little boy who would not know the value of hard work so they made a plan to help with that so it would not happen. One night they had some people make a commotion on the other side of the village and when the ninja went there they were able to sneak into the Namikaze compound and take the little baby from his bed, the three of them disappearing into the rain and making all of the people go crazy looking for their hero and heir to two great clans that many had come to love as their own...

16 Years Later...

There was a new village in Rice Country that was called the Village Hidden in Sound, or Otogakure as many people were calling it as well. Walking through the streets of his beloved village was the Shodaime Otokage Naruto Yakushi, the husband of the late Kabuto Yakushi, who had died two weeks ago on a mission to the newly named Spring Country. He was just walking around and thinking about his beloved when he suddenly heard a voice say: "Naru-chan are you feeling alright? Do you think that you should be walking around like this considering how ill you were not too long ago?" Naruto turned around and smiled slightly when he saw his adopted father Orochimaru standing behind him with a bag of things in hand and a worried look on his face: "You still do not look too well son. I think that you should go home and rest some more so you do not get ill again." Naruto pointed to his home on the other side of the village and shook his head with tears rolling down his face, many of the people hurting because of the pain of their beloved leader: "Otokage-sama we have an emergency! Enemy ninja and different rebels are attacking from the North and East entrances!"

The eyes of Naruto widened and he removed his gloves to reveal different seals on the back of his hands. He wiped some blood on them and the lights at the tower in the middle of the village turned red and an alarm blared for all to hear, signaling for the civilians to hide in the safety bunkers and the ninja to get into their positions. Since Naruto was unable to talk he was able to send mental commands to all of his people so they could either defend their village or go to the bunkers to be safe. Orochimaru handed his son the weapons he usually held for him and they jumped towards the areas where the enemy was attacking, both determined to save as many people that they could and to make sure that the enemies were either run out of the village or killed or taken prisoner.

A Week Later

Naruto was in one of the emergency tents treating some of his injured shinobi and kunoichi. He had been fighting on the other side of the village when he was informed that they were losing many of their medical ninja so he went to do what he could since he was a medic as well. He had been treating the leg of one of his shinobi when he heard someone calling for him: "Otokage-sama! Otokage-sama something has happened to your father and we do not know what to do!" He finished bandaging the burnt legs of the ANBU he had been working on and went to the front of the tent where one of the genin was standing with an unfamiliar bundle in her arms: "He was hit by four different jutsu that we have never seen before and was somehow turned into a newborn..." Before the young lady could finish telling him what happened there was an explosion not far from where they were standing. He had sent the genin inside the tent with his small father and then he put some energy shields around the tent before he went off to fight some more, a very angry look on his face because they had harmed his people and most of all they had harmed his father and did something that he wanted to fix as soon as he could.

Another week later the fighting had somehow gotten worse and the people saw how tired that their beloved leader was getting protecting his people and the small baby that his father had been turned into so they made a decision and the captain of his ANBU forces went to him, a determined look in his eyes: "Otokage-sama we have to get you out of the village as soon as possible. The enemy is still coming with no end to them and you need to take care of yourself and Lord Orochimaru. We know that you wish to stay and fight with us but if we lose you then there is no chance our village or the empire will be able to move on without your guidance. At least if you are able to escape you will be able to rebuild Sound." Naruto just sat for a moment and was ready to say no but when he saw the pleading look on all of their faces he nodded and pointed to the Leaf headband of his father, which meant he was going to try and head there to be safe.

They gave him a large scroll with their most valued items and jutsu and with tears in their eyes they watched their leader take off into the night so he would not be caught since he had a baby with him: "Please be safe Otokage-sama and hopefully we will live to see you bring us to greatness once again." They watched for a few moments longer and then went back into the fight with more determination to prove their leader proud. Out in the woods ten miles from the village Naruto stopped so he could seal the scrolls they had given him into a tattoo he had on his lower left leg above one of his summoning tattoos. Once he had finished that he held baby Orochimaru tightly and took to the trees, praying that his people would be safe and he would be able to figure out what had happened to his father so he could reverse the effects. He sealed his battle robes as well and just wore a normal Jounin uniform with his Sound headband, the baby in a makeshift sling he had made not long before he left the village.

He had scratches and wounds all over and was also dead tired but he did not want any harm to come to his little father so he kept running and would take the occasional detour in case he was followed until he had come upon an ocean. He took some deep breaths and looked around until he found a house that was half on the shore and the other half was on stilts above the water. He held the slightly shivering baby tightly and staggered to the front door, barely having enough strength to bang on the door before he fell on his side, baby Orochimaru starting to cry to get the attention of someone. There was noise on the other side of the door for a moment and a young boy of about eight looked outside, his eyes widening when he saw the two: "Mom there is a man and a baby on the porch and the man looks really hurt!" A very pretty young woman came to the door where he was standing and knelt down next to the two with worry on her face: "Inari, go into town and see if you can find someone to help me bring him inside hurry!"

Inari nodded and ran into town to see if he could find someone or maybe find the town doctor to help his mother. Back at the house Tsunami tried to take the crying baby into her arms but when she tried his arms tightened around the baby and his eyes fluttered a little before opening slightly. She looked at him with kindness in her eyes and on her face and said in a soft voice: "There is no need to worry about anything young man I am not going to harm your son. I only want to be sure he is warm and feed him something as he sounds hungry." Naruto saw the truth in her eyes so he loosened the grip on the baby and tried to get up but his face contorted in pain and he collapsed again: "Tsunami what is going on?" She looked up and saw her son running back with the town doctor and a few other men who were wondering what had been going on. She held the baby carefully and explained everything and went inside with the baby to give him some milk while the men lifted the young man and took him to one of the spare bedrooms so the doctor could check him over, Tsunami wondering what had happened to the young man and how he had ended up collapsing on their front porch so wounded.

Here is the first chapter of my new story so please tell me how it is and stuff like that. This is actually the very first fanfiction that I ever wrote but was stuck on it for awhile so I started a few others. I have quite a few written but not posted so let me know how this one is and if you would like to see the other ones. And I own nothing but the story lines on these so no yelling at me! Obi-Chan
