The fox among the rocks
Disclaimer don't own Naruto
Kana Uzumaki watched in horror as her sister and brother in law sacrificed themselves to save their village by sealing the nine tailed fox inside of their own son
"Naruto forgive me" she said as she leaped out of her hiding place towards her nephew
Hiruzen Sarutobi wearing his battle armor had witnessed Minato's sacrifice shortly after his death a stone Jonin leaped down from a tree she was about five foot four with short red hair wearing a red body suit under her brown vest two katanas were strapped to her back she slowly ran to the blonde newborn
"Get away from Minato's son" said Hiruzen as he threw a kunai at the Jonins feet the Jonin looked at the formerly retired Hokage
"You always this paranoid old man" Kana asked
"I am when a stone bastard comes to kill Minato's newborn son"
"No wonder they call you the professor" Kana said sarcastically "I'm not going to kill my own nephew you moron"
The expression on Sarutobi's face was worth the fact she pretty much spilled the reason she was here
"Kana Uzumaki acting unfortunately on the last request of her older sister"
Sarutobi was even more surprised by the fact that not only Kushina had a sister who was a Jonin in the stone village but she survived Minato wiping out a third of their forces
"Kushina asked me if anything happened to her and Minato to take Naruto and run like hell" said Kana as she took out a scroll "there's a letter for you in here"
"Let's discuss this in my office" said Sarutobi he had the feeling this was going to be a long night
Twenty minutes later in the Hokage's office Sarutobi sat behind his desk as he examined every inch of the supposed letter to him from Kushina once he proved it written by Kushina he read the letter
Hokage Sama
If you are reading this than Minato and I are dead the woman who gave you this letter is my younger sister after the battle with the third Raikage and the whirlpool village was destroyed many in the Uzumaki clan scattered my sister and I remained in contact even after she joined the stone village and I came to the leaf to become the jinchuriki of the annoying fox As much as I loved Minato I don't trust Jiraiya to be a godfather I refuse to let my son become a perverted glory hound
When he read that part Sarutobi laughed for five minutes before continuing to read the letter
Hokage Sama I asked Kana to come to the village best case scenario she got to meet Minato and her nephew worst cast the annoying fox breaks out and kills us I beg you let Kana raise Naruto now my sister has her faults she's impulsive lazy and is addicted to miso ramen but she's also kind can make friends with anyone is loyal to the end even though she never lived here she carries the will of fire which she will teach to Naruto
"Why are all the powerful ninjas addicted to ramen" Sarutobi said out loud Kana looks over the Hokage's shoulder and reads her older sisters description "I am not" said Kana angrily "be lucky your already dead sis" "will you shut up for a second" said a fuming Hokage
I forgot to mention loud but anyway think of this as a paving stone for Leaf and Stone diplomacy when he's old enough you could invite all of the five great nations to compete no way that old fart won't send Naruto you then can make an alliance and to cement it arrange a marriage between Naruto and a ninja girl his age he thinks is pretty
I want Naruto to have a good life especially if he's the new jinchuriki
Farewell
Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze
Sarutobi read the letter again especially that last part it was genius
"That woman was always right even in death Naruto won't be treated fairly people will think he's the demon incarnate Kana Uzumaki you have my permission to take Naruto but So help me if I find out he's being abused or treated terribly I will personally march into your village and take him by force"
"Understood Hokage Sama" said Kana she then picked up the little new born in her arms "come on Naruto lets go home"
Twelve Years later
Twelve year old Naruto Uzumaki had just pulled off the greatest prank in history the twelve year old Jinchuriki was wearing a sleeveless orange hoodie over a black t shirt black shorts and shinobi sandals he was running from a bunch of angry Jonins after he painted the statues of the tsuchikages
(Like he did to the Hokage monument in the first episode)
"come back here you little twerp" said one of the Jonin that were chasing him Naruto smiled a fox like smile as he ran faster away from the Jonins
Inside his mindscape a woman with waist length red hair in a black dress was sitting in a large mansion this woman was the Kyubi no kitsune better known as the nine tail fox in her human form
"Naruto did you really have to wait for the Jonins to show up"
"Aw come on Kyubi what's the point of a prank if you don't get credit for it besides this is a good test of the ninja skills aunt Kana taught me"
Kyubi rubbed her temples "I swear all Uzumakis are insane" "would you prefer being sealed inside an Uchiha" the most powerful of the tailed beasts paled at the idea of that "No! I prefer your insanity to the Uchiha brand of insanity yours is at least entertaining"
The Uzumaki chuckled as he ducked behind an alley with the Jonins hot on his tail he quickly made some hand signs
"Doton earth clone jutsu" from the ground behind Naruto two more Narutos were made the three Narutos than went in three different directions
This is too easy Naruto thought as the clones got into position while the Jonins chased them
The original Naruto stopped in the middle of the merchant district while the first clone stopped in front of a hole in the fence at the women's hot spring and the other stopped in front of the Tsuchikage tower
The three Narutos made the hand seals for Narutos favorite prank jutsu
"Ninpou sexy jutsu" in a poof of smoke the three Narutos were replaced with a beautiful blonde woman who was entirely naked except for smoke swirling around her the Jonins all male fainted with nosebleeds the jutsu was cancelled to reveal a laughing Naruto who cancelled his clone jutsu and let the other part of the prank work its magic on its own
He would have gotten away with it if his aunt hadn't been behind the original Naruto when he turned around
"Busted" said Kyubi with barley contained laughter
"Aunt Kana what are you doing here" asked a clearly nervous Naruto
"Where have you been don't you know today was the first part of the Genin Exam your lucky your friends with Kurosutchi or you would have failed"
"Aunt Kana I can explain see I was busy with a prank and I lost track of time" his excuse was cut short by Kana grabbing his ear and dragging him into the tsuchikages office
In the tsuchikages office was the third Tsuchikage sitting behind his desk with a girl Narutos age with ear length black hair wearing a red shirt knee length brown skirt with fishnet covering her legs and shinobi sandals
"Hi Kurosutchi Hime"
"Naruto how many times have I told you not to call me that"
"But it's funny to see how you react"
"Naruto do you know how much extra paper work you've caused today because of you five of the Jonin who chased you need a blood transfusion cause they saw that perverted jutsu of yours your lucky I don't decide not to make you a ninja" said Onoki clearly impressed with the child he was going to be a powerful ninja one day
"Thanks old man" said Naruto as he took the headband on the desk and wrapped it around his forehead
"I am giving you a chance Naruto because you're my granddaughters best friend don't screw it up
Naruto gave the Tsuchikage a goofy grin
"Believe it old man I'll be number one in no time flat"
