Once upon a time, a king passed with out a child to take his place at the thrown, as his last request he asked the sorcerer Sarutobi to take his magic sword, Excalibur, and use it to find the true king who would lead the world into piece. Sarutobi did as he was asked by in bedding the sword in a stone and enchanting the stone to not release the sword until someone with a pure heart pulled it out. Many men attempted to pull the sword from the stone, and all failed, until a boy with spiky blond hair and bright blue eyes came and pulled the sword from the stone.
The land cheered for a new king had finally come, however the new king was a also a new father, so afraid that his new place in the world would put his new baby and wife in danger he had them change their name and move away from the castle with a trusted friend to guard them until the day the child is old enough to protect its self, little did he know that the child would grow up to be the one thing he had not expected.
A King.

The sound of horse hoofs hitting the dirt ground filled the air of the field as a child laughed happily ridding ahead of the other two, the child was a little girl with shoulder length blond hair moving with the wind and bright blue eyes, however unlike most girls this little girl wore pants rather then the proper skirt, her horse came to a stop as she looked back at the other two grinning when she saw the man get off his horse. The man looked to be in his twenties his hair white, short, and spiky and his eyes were brown, the bottom of his face was hidden with a cloth. The other person was a woman around the same age as the man, her hair was long and red, her eyes a bright green, she smiled at the child as she removed herself from her own horse.
The man walked over to the little girl grabbing her around the middle and spinning her to pull her off the horse, they laughed together until falling over with grins. The woman smiled at them as she sat down pulling the girl into her lap.
"Uncle Kakashi, do you have to go tomorrow!" The girl whined as she pouted.
"Yes Naruto I do, the knights are gathering and I am one of them." The man said the slightest bit of sadness on his face.
"Uncle do you think I can be a knight one day!" Naruto grinned with excitement for the idea.
"Of course Naruto, you can do what ever you want." Kakashi patted the girl's head causing her to swat at his hand.
"Then I'll be king one day!" Naruto announced with a large grin.
"Umm Naruto Girl's become queens." The woman pointed out with a sweet smile. Naruto shook her head no.
"But queens are always thought of as weak! I want to be a king, strong, respected; having the honor of protecting the kingdom and making sure everyone is happy!" Naruto smiled at the thought; in her mind she was sure she would one day be a king. Kakashi shook his head patting her on the head again, Naruto swatted at him.
"I'm not a pet!" She pouted again crossing her arms. They heard horses coming near and the girl's pout was gone. "Aw their here already!"
"Yes, I have to go know but I will return soon," Kakashi said standing to walk to his horse. "Be safe Kushina, Naruto." Kakashi road off meeting a couple more men as their horses left their sight.
"Come Naruto, Let's go home," Kushina said standing up with her daughter.
"Mommy do you think I can be king one day?" Naruto asked curiously staring at her mom.
"I know you can dear." Kushina got up on her horse as she watched her daughter do the same; soon they were off, heading for home.

Kakashi and two other men walked into the large room with a round table in the middle where many more men sat. He took his seat at the table along with the other two as the king walked into the room, his hair was short and spiky and the color of the sun, his eyes bright blue, and at his side the sword Excalibur. The king took his seat hanging the sword on the back of his chair as he smiled at them all.
"Thank you all for coming, I know it is such short notice but it would seem that one of you, I am not sure which, has betrayed me," The king's face turned harsh and stoic as he glanced over all of them. "And when I find out who I will have them removed and banished."
"Forgive me sir but would it not be wise to execute the traitor?" A man at the table spoke; he had long brown hair in a low ponytail and white eyes.
"Valance has never salved anything Neji; I would not like to start using it." The king looked around the table wondering if anyone else would like to speak.
"Oh but King Minato, valance has always worked for me." Another man with long black hair and snake like yellow eyes spoke. Everyone's eyes narrowed on him.
"I'm sorry, what was that Orochimaru?" Kakashi asked his eyes being the most dangerous.
"Any King who decides valance is useless is not fit to be in such a role." Orochimaru smirked at Minato hoping he figured out what he was attempting to tell him.
"And who do you believe to be fit?"
The snake like man smirked at the king as he stood grabbing his weapon; he jumped onto the table and ran at the king. "Why don't we find out?"
Many of the knights jumped on the table as well to defend the king and all were pushed away, a few getting bashed in the head. Minato grabbed the sword holding it up against Orochimaru, as the snake man swung down on the king he went flying to the other side of the room. The knights ran at him in anger only to have him run out the door closing it behind him.
"Let him go!" Minato called looking at his men to be sure none were hurt. His eyes made it to the young man now lying on the floor, Minato ran to Kakashi. He frowned as he clenches his hands. The man was dead.

Kushina sat at the table in her home with Minato as she held her face in her hands.
"I am sure he knew we were on to him and that is why he attacked, assuming it was his only chance to take the thrown." Minato explained, he looked out the door to see the little child crying over their uncle's grave. "I will leave another knight to protect you and Naruto…" Kushina shook her head finally looking at him.
"Someone will find it odd that another knight is suddenly watching over us, they will realize that the child out side is your child." Kushina looked at Naruto with sadness.
"So you want me to leave the two of you unprotected?" Minato glared at the woman in surprise and in anger.
"Naruto dreams of being a knight you know." Kushina interrupted with a smile. "Naruto was even talking about becoming king a few days ago." The woman avoided speaking of her child's gender to the king.
"Is that so, he will be a great king I'm sure." Minato smiled.
"Naruto will grow strong Minato, that child, your child, will be far more protection then I will ever need, you may leave a knight to protect us but not one at the table, that would make it too obvious you want us protected well." Minato sighed at the woman's words, she was right, and he knew it.
"Fine, I will send one of my best." Kushina shook her head again. "Just a very good knight." Minato corrected himself and the woman smiled. "I don't like it."
"Isn't there a knight you trust who isn't one of the best?" Kushina asked with a smirk.
"Yes, he is with me know, Haku!" Minato called the knight in and a young man with long black hair, brown eyes, and a face suiting a female entered.
"Yes Your Majesty?" Haku spoke.
"How old are you boy?" Kushina asked and the boy bowed his head to her.
"18 miss." Haku smiled at her, Kushina nodded.
"Haku I wish for you to stay with this family for now and guard them, believe me when I say they are very important." Minato stared at the boy with expectation. "And be sure to keep your status as a knight a secret."
Haku nodded bowing to the man. "As you wish."
"Good, you may come back with us to grab what you need and then I would like for you to return with haste." Minato stood and faced Kushina with a frown. "We must be going. I am sorry for your lose."
"Thank you my lord." Minato and Haku then left the room; the man glanced one last time at the child before getting onto the horse and riding off.
Naruto looked up where the king had just been and more tears left her eyes for reasons she did not even understand.

Eight years later
Naruto looked out to the sea with a large grin on her face, she was a young woman now after all these years, her hair was now down to her hips in a low ponytail, her eyes were still the same, her body was curvy now with small breast now on her chest, and she still wore pants rather then a proper skirt, all together she was a beauty.
"What are you up to?" Naruto jumped a few feet in the air startled by the sudden question; she turned to see it was Haku that snuck up on her wearing black pants and a green shirt.
"Haku you scared me!" Naruto whined as she glared daggers at him.
"Sorry Miss Naruto, I was just checking on you." Haku smiled at her innocently. Naruto glared even harder as she stood. "Miss Kushina wishes for your presence by the way."
Naruto sighed. "Great." She walked toward the house with annoyance clear on her face.
Kushina looked up from her sawing when Naruto walked in and she sighed. "Naruto have you finished your chores?"
"I haven't started them yet, sorry." Naruto lowered her head in a shamed way.
"Well then please get started on that, and when your done come back." Kushina started her sowing again.
Naruto nodded and walked back outside. She glared at Haku's smile as her arms crossed over her chest. "So, mind helping me with chores?" Naruto raised an eyebrow at him to add to the question.
"I will not assist, but I will come with," Haku said. Naruto sighed and walked passed him for the farm on their land; she could hear the boy fallow her as she stared at her feet. 'If this keeps up I'll never be a knight.' She thought. "Haku?"
The boy looked at her waiting for her to continue. "Do you think I'll ever become a knight?" Naruto picked up the pitch fork and forced it into the hay so she could lift it into the horse pen.
"I believe there has never been a female knight before, but I would not be surprised if you were the first, you are strong in will and muscle, and you are brave, not to mention you're smart, if you are to become a knight let me never be at the wrong end of your blade." Haku smiled at her, Naruto stared in surprise but smiled as well.
"Thank you."
That is when the sound of a loud horn filled their ears; Naruto felt her heart sink at the sound, the sound that meant Excalibur had bean stolen. The blond ran back to the house and threw the door staring at her mother who was also now frozen fear clear on her face.
"Mother, I'm going to help find the sword." Kushina shot her head up looking at her insane daughter.
"You will not." Kushina spoke harshly.
"But it is the knight's duty!" She growled hitting her hands on the table.
"That's right! The knight's duty! It is not the duty of a young girl!" Kushina stood greeting her teeth at the thought of Naruto running into danger like that, not to mention her daughter was half the protection they had.
"What do you want me to do mother! Uncle isn't here anymore to do it so I must!" Naruto yelled across the table hoping the woman would cave. Kushina walked around the table and grabbed the sword strapped to the girl's side pulling it off. "Mother!" Kushina ignored her and sat back down in her seat still holding the weapon.
"Go finish your chores," Naruto opened her mouth to object but was silence with her mother's glare. "Now!"
"Fine!" Naruto rushed out the door to see Haku now frowning at her worry clear in his eyes. "Go away." Naruto said walking passed him to the chicken coop.
"Naruto what if I told you there was a way for you to go after Excalibur?" Haku stood in the doorway of the coop as the girl took eggs from the nests.
"How?" Naruto asked facing away.
"I'll go with you." Naruto froze.
"What difference would that make?"
"Before I came here, and even now, all this time I have been…" Before Haku could finish the handle of a sword hit the back of his neck knocking him out.
"Haku?" Naruto turned around to find out why her friend stopped talking. "Haku!" She yelled as her eyes filled with surprise and she was held at swords end. She reached for her sword to find it gone. "Damn it!" She growled before facing her enemy her hands held up in surrender. "I know when I'm beat."
