Prologue

It was a dark day for Konoha as the Kyuubi No Kitsune was about to destroy innocent people. The reason why the fox was doing this was because he was forced by his Master named Madara. Kyuubi wanted to be free but he was captured and was forced out of his will to kill innocent lives that did no harm. Kyuubi had enough of being controlled so he decided to fight for his freedom. Alas Madara was too powerful and decided to punish the poor fox. He had ordered the fox to destroy Konoha, as Madara had a bit of a grudge on the village. He wanted to control the village his own way, but alas the councilors forbade him to obey by the rules that he requested. He had sworn one day Konoha would pay for daring to go against him, so today would be the day Konoha received its punishment. Kyuubi was horrified by the fact that these innocent lives would be destroyed by one's anger, but he had to obey his master for even though he was powerful...Madara was beyond that of the fox's ability. He needed help and sure enough he went to the Hokage. Minato was curious why a stranger came to the village. When the Kyuubi told him everything, Minato was soon full of rage, thus he went to the Uchihas since they knew Madara was a relative of theirs. At that time Sasuke had recently been born so the people were happy to add the new Uchiha to their lives. Minato came with a puff of smoke and talked to the leader of the Uchiha's. Fugaku was in a fury as he heard the news, for he couldn't do anything as Madara was too powerful. Minato knew that Konoha would change forever but he didn't know how the villagers would react.

Afterwards Minato soon went to his wife, Kushina, as it was October 10 and his soon to be son Naruto was about to be born. Kushina was already into labor by the time he arrived, so he was rooting for his wife to bring Naruto into the ninja world. Minato wanted his son to be a surprise for the villagers that an heir to the hokage throne was born. Minato and Kushina was so happy they didn't realize that Madara had killed all the anbu and was waiting for the opportunity to kidnap their son to finalize his plan. Naruto came to life out of Kushina and both have been thrilled to see him. As the doctor and nurse show their son to Kushina first, then Minato they left Naruto in a safe crib. Madara took his chance to kidnap him. It was an unexpected turn of events. Kushina cried for she wanted her son back safe and sound. Minato was furious to see him threatening them and get away with their first born child. Madara mentally smirked as he saw the fear and rage upon the hokage. He let out a low chuckle and was throwing fits of menacing laughter. "You will never see your child ever again, Minato! Mwahahahahaha!" he said in a dark sinister like voice. Minato furiously glared at Madara as he was about to escape. Though he had the upper advantage since he was the legendary yellow flash. He quickly rescued Naruto and took Kushina with was furious at how easily Minato had rescued Naruto As Naruto fell into a peaceful sleep, Kushina and Minato sighed in relief as Naruto had slept through the whole encounter with Madara and had not made a sound, as if he knew it was safe.

"I'm going to go after him." Minato quietly said to Kushina who soon after went into a state of shock. As Minato saw this he heavily sighed and began to explain. " He has disrupt the Namikaze family and I can not let him go with a threat of kidnaping my very own son." even though Kushina finally understood, she didn't know what to say, but she knew that Minato was angry and the only way for him to cool off would be to go after the main problem who started this, Madara. Thus Kushina simply nodded her approval, she didn't know what to say but she just nodded and fully understood the situation he was in. Minato swiftly left the Namikaze house and searched for Madara. Minato search high and low for him. When he saw the Kyuubi he felt sorry for the fox who was being controlled and couldn't escape from the clutches of his master. As he was searching Madara went to the Namikaze house and kidnapped Naruto, who was sound asleep, once again, while Kushina was unconscious through all of this.

Minato kept up his searching, yet he still couldn't find a trace of Madara anywhere, so he began to lose hope, until the sounds of a twig snapping reached his ears. "I see you couldn't wait, Minato." A voice was heard. Minato quickly took out a kunai and threw it at Madara who easily dodged this attack. He mentally chuckled as he approached Minato. " I knew you would go after me and look what I found." He then took out a bundle to show Naruto. Minato stood shocked, as Naruto should have been with Kushina. 'What happened?!' he thought.

"Where is Kushina?" Minato glared in a low threatening voice. He was beyond mad, he was furious. Minato ran to Madara ran on a rampage as he formed the rasengan in one of his hands with a combination of the yellow flash. Naruto giggled as he saw the blue orb coming toward him and this stranger, but he wants his mom and dad, he was very tired and he didn't know what was going on. As Naruto saw his dad he was very happy but was confused to why his dad's expression was scary. He looked up and saw someone who he didn't recognize so he did the one thing he knew as an infant, cry. Madara and Minato stopped for a moment by the sound of Naruto's crying. Madara made a few hand signs and put Naruto in a comfortable glass container. The glass was so fragile looking that it seemed that even a single breath could shatter it into tiny sparkling pieces." You're going to pay for this Madara!" Minato yelled and rushed to him in a maddening pace and quickly did some punches, kicks, jutsus, and used a bit of frog power. Madara took a few hits, but it didn't make a scratch on his visible skin. Though Minato knew he had gotten some hits since blood was gushing out of his made a couple of signs and started healing, because even though he had took some damage too he knew some medical jutsus.

Madara was extremely furious, he was losing and he had a small amount of chakra left. He took his chance to throw a kunai at Minato since he was in the middle of healing. there was a flash of red hair to where Minato was standing. Kushina had arrived to help him out and rescue their son. Though she had only received one injury it had been by the arm on the left side close to her heart. Minato was by far shocked that she was up and about since she just recently went into labor. Kushina was panting really hard and collapsed in a sitting position with her hands on the floor for support. Naruto giggled as he saw his mother. Kushina heard Naruto and looked at him with a warm smile. Naruto giggled again and was yawning. He slowly drifted off to sleep. Minato and Kushina was glad Naruto fell asleep with happiness. They both glared at Madara for kidnaping their precious son and for making a huge mess within their village. Madara then decided to use his last remaining chakra on them. He made some hand signs and aimed it toward them. As they didn't have time to react they got hit by the jutsu. Minato and Kushina felt nothing. Madara chuckled, "The jutsu I put on you is a slow death jutsu, you will slowly die and never see your son again, and if you do see him in heaven you will see that he will be tortured by the villagers that you love so much and risked your lives for. Mwahahahahaha!" Minato and Kushina was shocked that they couldn't move or notice that Madara got away. Tears were threatening Kushina's eyes, She silently walked to Naruto and got him out of the glass container. Minato was grimacing silently and felt ashamed that the villagers will not acknowledge his son like he wants him to be. Kushina softly smiled but tears were still threatening her eyes and she hummed a lullaby only Kushina and Mikoto know. Naruto loved the sound of her voice and so did Minato.

Minato watched the Kyuubi rampaging and decided on what to do. He did some hand signs and transported Kyuubi, Naruto, Kushina and himself on a desolate place. The Kyuubi stopped fighting and turned himself into a small fox. "Thank you Hokage-sama!" Kyuubi was snuggling him affectionately to Minato. Minato smiled sadly as he was going to say something that he would soon regret forever.

"Kyuubi, I have to seal you." He quietly told near the kitsune. Kyuubi was shocked and mad at the same time. Minato saw this and sighed softly. "I have to in order to save the village. At least you will be far away from Madara." The Kyuubi knew that he was right. He mentally sighed. "Don't worry Kyuubi you're going to be sealed in Naruto's body. I will personally arrange it to your benefits." Kushina was angry and smacked her husband in the back of his head. "OUCH! What was that for?!" Minato asked as he rubbed his head gently.

"How dare you use our son as a host for the Kyuubi, it's not right for our son to suffer this all by himself!" She was half yelling and half crying. Minato saw her eyes were filled with regret, worry and sadness.

"We have to Kushina, in order for Kyuubi to not intercept with Madara, he has to escape and hide somewhere where Madara would never look to search. This is the only choice we have. If we don't do something soon Konoha will be eliminated and we will die with guilt saying we both failed and our son will never grow up and have a bright future." Kushina slowly let the words sink into her ears and understood. 'If we don't do something who will protect Naruto?' She sighed in defeat. She slowly handed Naruto to Minato regretting everything she was doing right now, but it was for the best. "Thank you Kushina." Minato took Naruto and placed him in a comfortable crib. Naruto was giggling very cutely to both of his parents. Minato and Kushina mentally chuckled at their adorable son. Minato did some hand signs and gently moved Kyuubi's body into Naruto. Kyuubi was very comfortable by the looks of things, but Naruto was squirming a bit, tears were threatening his eyes. Kushina saw this and did some hand signs and made Naruto fall asleep. It was a long process but Minato succeeded. Minato was panting really hard and sweat was dripping down his face. Kushina was in the same state as Minato. Both parents collapsed by exhaustion and Naruto was in a peaceful sleep not knowing what was happening to his mom and dad.

"Minato, I think we should say something to Naruto before we leave." Minato didn't say anything but he simply nodded. "I'll start first." She got close to Naruto and her eyes soften at the sleeping child. "Naruto forgive us for leaving you, but it's for your own good. Make good grades, look after yourself. Make lots of friends and have a wonderful love life, I don't care if it's a guy or girl, just be happy with the ones you love. I love you Naruto." Kushina wiped her tears and went to Minato. "You can go Minato." Kushina quietly said and looked at Naruto again one last time. She slowly turned around to be at Minato's side, who was a few feet away from Naruto. Minato cleared his throat and was going to Naruto with Kushina who was gently sobbing and grabbing his coat. Minato closed his eyes for a moment, during this time a gentle breeze went to where the Namikaze family are. Naruto squirmed a bit since the breeze was a bit cold, but it didn't woke him up. Minato slowly open his blue eyes and looked at his son. 'So peaceful,' he thought.

"Naruto listen to your mother and don't let little things get you down. Just keep moving forward and you will be fine. If you want to be hokage someday then i will grant it as my dying wish."He did some hand signs and sent the scroll to the third hokage. "We will always watch you Naruto and I apologize for not going to be there during your childhood, but know that we love you and will always,again watch over you with love. Good-bye my son." As the sun rises it overshines both Minato and Kushina with happy faces and tears flowing. As the first morning rays disappear, so do Kushina and Minato. All of a sudden the wind that Minato's soul created with its last remaining chakra brought Naruto to the Uchiha compound in front of Fugaku and Mikoto's door step, and slowly a piece of paper was lying on top of the sleeping child. A single teardrop was on the piece of paper.

Naruto was getting uncomfortable with his sleeping position so he cried for someone to get him to a warm, soft bed. There was a sudden noise at the door and Naruto continued to cry. A stranger gasped at the young Naruto and picked him up. A beautiful woman with dark raven hair and onyx eyes softly looked at him as she held him, he slowly drifted off to sleep by the touch of her warmth. She gently chuckled a little at the way Naruto looked, she brought Naruto inside with warm arms. She notices the piece of note that was innocently lying on Naruto's small chest. She read the letter and suddenly gasp, tears were flowing down her cheeks as she unconsciously dropped the paper and was slowly landed on the floor with some writing in it;

Dear Mikoto and Fugaku Uchiha,

We are allowing Naruto to be in your care as a family. We are deeply sorry but he is an orphan now and he needs protection. We hand our Naruto to you since we trust you the most. The most important thing right now is Naruto's happiness and we want to see that through our son's face. I want to say more but we don't have time. Gomenasai and please protect Naruto since he will be in danger in the future. Please keep Naruto as part of your family and be careful out there. There should be a seal somewhere in this note, open it when both of you are present. Again gomenasai and good luck in the future.

4 & Kushina Namikaze

P.S. Please let Naruto inherit Kushina's maiden name as people will wonder why this orphan has the Fourth's last name, in fact you might find it easier if you gave him your last name since we don't want to create a disturbance in the village.

Mikoto was devastated and turned toward where Fugaku was and inform him the sad news of their childhood friends.

A/N: I have deceided to use Madara being Obito since i know who the real identity of him. The Kyuubi No Kitsune is the Nine Tailed fox. I had to specifically tell my friend this, by the way this is my first story so if there are typos then please tell me and I do not own Naruto just the story
