Chapter 1

Minato inwardly sighed as he walked into the hospital with a small bundle in his arms. The moment he appeared a blond woman was in front of him.

"What happened?" the blond Hokage handed her the small bundle and followed her into an empty exam room.

"We had to seal the Kyuubi into her…she was to only baby born close enough." Tsunade nodded and moved the blanket to reveal the small black haired baby girl.

"What of her parents?" Minato sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose.

"Her father was killed in the attack and her mother found out after she was born and killed herself." Tsunade's eyes narrowed.

"So they left her alone… what are you going to do?"

"Well I think it would be best to put her into the orphanage, her mother didn't want her to get their name either so she will have no last name. She will have to stay in the orphanage until we recover from this… the village will know that she was the one to hold the Kyuubi and save us all. But I will forbid anyone from talking about it. I want her to be able to make friends without them judging her." Tsunade frowned and softly rubbed the girl's hair.

"I just hope they will understand exactly what she has done for them." Minato sighed again.

"Would you mind taking care of her… and then take her to the orphanage. I have to hurry with these laws or the whole village will be talking." Tsunade nodded and watched the taller blond disappear.

X-4 years later-X

Minato smiled as he handed a tall brunette jounin his mission scroll. Three young shinobi stood behind him waiting patiently to hear what their new mission was.

"I'm sorry guys but there aren't that many missions so you're stuck with D-rank. You are going to go to the orphanage to look after the children. Their caretaker has come down with a nasty flu so you will watch over them for a week."

The three genin had varied reactions. The older brunette boy, Shin, looked mad and pouted. The brunette girl, Tara, Shin's twin sister looked happy and smiled at the blond Hokage. The youngest genin had black hair, Itachi, looked unaffected. He surprisingly was about 5 years younger than his teammates at 8 years old. The jounin inwardly sighed but turned to his team.

"Alright guys I want you to run home and pack from the week and then head on over to the orphanage." The three nodded and left after simultaneously replying with.

"Hia, Tenora-sensei." After they left the brunette jounin turned to look at Minato.

"Are you sure this is a good mission for Itachi? He doesn't get along well with others." Minato sighed but nodded.

"The reason I picked your team is because there is a young girl who is in the orphanage who doesn't talk with anyone… the other children like to bully her and I think Itachi might be able to help her." Tenora looked skeptical but bowed and left the office heading toward to orphanage.

X-a couple hours later-X

Itachi and his two teammates arrived at the orphanage together and almost cringed when they heard the loud screams of young children from inside. Tara smiled and grabbed the two boys by their arms and started to drag them inside.

"Oh come on it's not that bad." She instantly regretted her words when their sensei appeared before them.

"I'm glad you think so. Then you three won't need my help. There is a register in the kitchen with the names of all the children and what they each need to do. Just follow that and you shouldn't have a problem." He didn't even wait for any questions before disappearing. Shin glared at his sister.

"Great, just great. Now we have to deal with those… those things." Tara was about to start a shouting match with her brother when everything went quiet. The siblings looked at each other before looking behind them.

"Where'd Itachi go?" Tara shrugged but gasped before quickly running into the large building. Shin followed close behind but stopped when he looked into the living room. Itachi had a large group of kids sitting quietly around him on the floor and they weren't making a sound. The young raven-haired genin looked up at his teammates when they entered.

"It looks like one is missing, can you two keep an eye on them while I go find her?" Tara nodded and took the list from his hand. Itachi was almost out of the room when a small voice reached his ears.

"Her name is Sasuke." Itachi stopped and looked at the small blond boy.

"Do you know where she is?" the boy tilted his head and smiled up at him.

"She's probably in her room." Itachi nodded and looked toward Shin.

"Explain what's going on to them I'll be back with the girl." The brunette nodded and watched Itachi leave the room before turning back to the kids.

X-X

Itachi walked through the large halls of the orphanage looking for the missing child and came to a stop outside a door that was cracked open. A small light was coming from the room so he softly pushed open the door and walked in.

The room turned out to be a small bedroom that held a single bed and a small desk. He looked around the room before his eyes rested on a tiny figure peeking at him from under said desk. He walked over and sat down on the floor a little ways in front of it.

"Hello… are you Sasuke?" the small figure didn't move so he softened his voice. "Could you come out? I'm going to look after you for a little bit and I want to make sure you're ok."

The young girl finally poked her head out from under the desk and looked at Itachi with curious eyes. He didn't move but gave her a small smile. She quickly glanced around before coming out a little farther.

"Yes, I'm Sasuke." Itachi nodded and watched as she finally came out from under the desk and sat in front of him. "What's your name?" Itachi smiled.

"I'm Itachi, it's nice to meet you… would you like to come down and meet my friends?" Sasuke's dark eyes widened in fear and she tensed, obviously getting ready to bolt back under the desk.

"I don't want to go down there… the other kids are mean." Itachi sighed but kept his smile in place as he talked to the 4 year old.

"Don't worry I'll protect you." Sasuke didn't move, she sat in front of Itachi and looked at him for a few minutes before dropping her gaze to the floor.

"Promise?" Itachi lifted an eyebrow but nodded.

"Of course, just stick with me and nothing will happen." Sasuke glanced around before giving him a small smile and nodding. Itachi smiled back and stood before holding out his hand to help her up. Sasuke looked at the offered appendage before shyly taking it and following Itachi back down to the others.

X-End of the week-X

Tenora smiled as the caretaker shook his hand.

"Thank you for watching them for me. I hope they weren't too much of a hassle." Tenora shook his head.

"Of course not, my team and I were glad to help you." The woman smiled and looked at the three genin behind their sensei. She was about to thank them when a small blur raced past her and latched onto Itachi's leg.

"Bye Itachi." Itachi inwardly smiled and ruffled the small girl's hair. The caretaker gaped as she watched the small child give the boy another hug before letting go and disappearing back inside. Tenora smiled again, this time at the woman's shocked expression, and happily led his team away from the large orphanage.
