A/N: Hello everyone. I just wanted to make a few things clear at the start of this so there is no confusion later on. First off this is a Naruko fic, which means that out beloved blond is a woman, and before anyone gives me hassle about gender change just let me say that the way this story is written Naruko is a girl since birth. Also this is a Naruko/Hinata fic, though this will take time as I believe that 13 is too young an age for a relationship, though crushes are fine. All summon creatures are demons from the demon realm. The Biju are demons as well. There will also be a few OCs that appear later on in the fic. That being said I hope you will enjoy the first chapter of Naruko: Revival of the Uzumaki Clan!

Declaimer: I do not own Naruto the series. I do however own all my OCs so please do not use them.

Text examples:

"Hello." Biju or jinchuriki using biju's powers speaking

Chapter 1: The Birth Story

'Kurama?'

'Yes Kit?'

'Can you tell me the story about when I was born again?'

'Of course little one. It happened four years ago in a little room outside of Konoha.'

- 4 Years Ago -

It was late at night and cries of pain could be heard coming from a little room that was hidden away from prying eyes.

"It's going to be alright honey. You can do this. No pain no gain, right?" asked a blond man with a pained smile on his face. His pained look was because his hand was currently being crushed by the woman in front of him.

"What the Hell did you just say Minato?" The fiery red head that was lying down on the table gave Minato a death glare that would send even the most seasoned ninja running. Minato became very pale as he realized what he just said.

"Nothing Kushina, just something stupid." Minato replied weakly, hoping to avoid the wrath of his wife when this whole thing was over. He truly loved his wife, but at times she could be the single most frightening being in existence, and considering that fact that Minato was the Fourth Hokage meant something.

"Damn right it was stupid! How about we trade places and you deliver our baby? Then maybe you won't say anything stupid anymore." Kushina was in a lot of pain and she was venting it out on the only person she knew who could take it. Minato had the poor fortune of being said person. The two were away from the rest of the village when Kushina was giving birth because of the tenant that she had sealed inside her. Despite Kushina's reassurances to the council they still deemed it necessary for her to give birth in a secluded location away from the general populace, with a full detail of ANBU of course.

'Kushina, are you doing alright?' said a low almost animal like voice.

'Yes Kurama. It hurts a lot but I know that this little one will be worth all the effort.' Kushina smiled at the concern her tenant was showing her. He really was a good friend.

'You can say that even knowing what your child might be?' He was still surprised how easily Kushina and Minato had accepted the news that it was possible their child might be born part demon. Kurama had been sealed inside Kushina for many years, which included the duration of her pregnancy, so the child was exposed to demonic chakra since its conception. Kurama was worried that this could very well lead to the child being born a half-demon.

'I know what you're thinking, so stop it. You aren't corrupting my child or anything of the sort. You have been my friend for years Kurama. As far as I'm concerned, if my little one does end up being half-demon it just gives her more of a reason to connect to her Uncle Kurama, and that would be a gift.' Kushina's statement almost had the Kyubi in tears. She was a true friend to him and treated him far better than any of his other hosts. She was the light that brought him out of his darkness.

"So what are you two talking about?" Minato asked with a lopsided grin on his face. His wife had gone quite for a while and almost seemed calm despite the pain she was obviously going through. That meant only one thing, she was talking to Kurama.

"Oh you know, same old worrying on the part of fuzzy butt." Kushina smiled as she heard the growl come from Kurama through her link with him.

"Good old Kurama, always the worrywart." Minato said with a grin of his own, only for his face to be suddenly contorted in pain as his wife grad his hand when another wave of labor pains hit.

'Serves him right for calling me a worrywart.' Kurama relayed through the link.

"Both of you shut up! I think the baby is coming!" The red headed woman let out a scream as an intense pain gripped her entire body. When the two doctors that were standing off to the side heard this they rushed over and began to work.

One of the doctors looked up at Kushina. "Kushina, I want you to push when I tell you to, okay?" Kushina could only nod. "Okay, on the count of three push. One. Two. Three. Push!" Kushina pushed with all her might and after a few minutes of intense pain and heavy breathing she let out a sigh of relief and heard her baby cry for the first time.

"It's a girl! A beautiful baby girl!" the blond husband, now father, exclaimed excitedly as one of the doctors passed him the small girl. Minato looked fondly at his child and turned to hand her off to Kushina. The new mother took her daughter into her arms and could not help the smile that graced her face. Her little girl had bright red hair that showed she was her mother's daughter and brilliant blue eyes like her father. She also had whisker marks on her cheeks and a pair of fox ears on top of her head. The ears were as red as the rest of her hair, but had little white tips at the ends.

"She's perfect." said the new mother with a warm and caring expression.

"I guess Kurama was kind of right. She is definitely part demon, though maybe an eighth demon is more accurate than half." Kushina was inclined to agree with her husband. Besides the ears and whisker marks the girl seemed perfectly normal.

'He's wrong. She is most certainly half demon at the least, maybe even more. It just doesn't seem that way because none of her tails have grown in yet.' Kurama had taken a serious tone as he studied the girl's chakra network. She had all the showing of being able to grow multiple tails, nine to be exact. Kurama could not help but be impressed. 'She'll be as powerful as I am someday.'

Kushina was about to reply when the door suddenly burst opened and in walked a man in mask. Before Minato could react the man disappeared and reappeared on the other side of the room. Both the doctors fell on the floor dead and somehow he had managed to take the girl away from her mother. The man was wearing a mask with only one eye hole and spikey black hair that went down to the small of his back. The rest of his features were covered by the mask the trench coat he wore.

"Don't move." The strange man said as he brought a kunai to the baby's throat. Minato froze in place, already preparing a plan to get his wife and child to safety. He had no idea who this person was, but they were extremely fast and meant business. That is when he noticed the eye hole in the mask. It was a Sharingan! Which mean that this man was an Uchiha. Minato began to run through all the strategies he knew for how to counter a Sharingan user. While all this was running through is head Kushina went into an internal panic at the sight of her child being held hostage. And that is when she lost all focus she had on trying to maintain the seal. There was a sudden rush of chakra that burst forth from the seal on Kushina's stomach as all eyes turned to her.

"Excellent." The masked man's voice sounded almost like he was smiling as he saw the demonic chakra come pouring out of the seal. He decided to act. He threw the kunai that he was holding at the wall to his left, the explosive tag attached to it going off as it made contact and taking out the wall. The masked man then tossed the child out the hole. Minato and Kushina gasped as they saw their child begin to fall. Minato reacted immediately by using his Flying Thunder God technique to teleport to his daughter. In that split second that all of his focus turned to his daughter the masked man appeared next to Kushina and preformed a rapid series of hand signs and then slammed his palm down on Kushina's stomach.

Kushina let out a gasp as she felt the seal on her stomach shatter under the force of chakra that was being poured into her. The air grew dense from the amount of demonic chakra that was being released as Kurama was forced out of his host and into the mortal world once again. He aimed for the hole in the wall to avoid damaging the structure any more than it already had been. Once outside he turned and faced the masked man.

"Got you." Kurama locked eyes with the masked man only to realize his mistake. He was staring into the depths of a fully activated Mangekyō Sharingan. Kurama could already feel his consciousness fading away as the Mangekyō Sharingan user forced his will upon the fox demon.

"Sit." Minato was in shock when he saw Kurama follow the man's order and as he watched the fox sit down. Someone having enough power to control the Kyubi was simply unheard of, at least in this day and age. In the past there was one person you could boast at having that much power, Madara Uchiha, but he had died years ago at the Valley of the End. Minato heard a small cry that brought him out of his thoughts and looked down at this little girl curled up in his arms. When he looked up again Kurama was gone.

"What the hell?" said Minato as he looked around. He could still feel Kurama's chakra, but could not see the Kyubi anywhere. It was at that moment that Minato caught sight of the masked man just as he shunshined away. Minato's eyes went wide and then he got a determined look on his face. He ran back into the building to make sure Kushina was alright before he went after the mysterious man. He arrived to find his wife barely conscious and breathing heavily.

"Minato?" asked Kushina with a weak voice. She felt horribly drained, almost like running a marathon for a week. She had passed out for a moment after the man had forced his chakra into her body. She could tell that Kurama was not sealed inside her anymore and she was worried about her friend, but most of all she was worried about her daughter.

"I'm here love. And I have our little girl too." Minato had a smile on his face in the hopes that it would help to calm down Kushina. He leaned over her and placed their new-born down on the bed next to her mother. He could see a small smile appear on her face as she reached out and began to rub her daughter's back.

"She's so quite. Is that normal?" Kushina did not seem to be talking to Minato, more to herself than anything. She shook head a little in an attempt to focus. "Minato. You have to go after him. I think he is after Kurama."

Minato only nodded his head as he leaned over and kissed both of his girls on the forehead before taking off after the Sharingan user.

-Hokage's Office-

Hiruzen was sitting behind his old desk as he filled out paper work. He had volunteered to help out Minato so the man could be there for the birth of his child. The thought of Minato being a father brought a smile to Hiruzen's face as he shook his head in disbelief. It seemed like only yesterday that the man was still a genin just out of the academy.

Hiruzen felt a surge of demonic chakra spread through the air and wondered if Kushina has just gone into labor. He was not too concerned because Minato was right there with her along with the detail of ANBU meant to protect the two. So he quietly went back to the paper work and groaned in frustration wishing that there was a better way to do all of this work faster. He was just about to start on another mission form when the room shook for a moment and he felt the full force of Kurama's chakra being released, even though he was miles away. Something was wrong.

-A few miles outside of Konoha-

Minato was chasing down the masked man as the two were running through the forest that surrounded Konoha. There had been a few instances where Minato had caught up to the man and they fought briefly. Each time the Sharingan user managed to avoid Minato's attacks and then counter with a Fire Ball jutsu, forcing Minato to back off and lose ground. It didn't take long for Minato to realize that the man was heading for Konoha, so Minato decided to beat the man there by using his Flying Thunder God technique.

-Konoha-

Minato appeared in his and Kushina's bedroom, ran to his closet to grab his haori, and headed towards the door. Once he made it outside on the street he shunshined to the Hokage's Office.

"Hiruzen!" Minato shouted as he came in through the window. The sudden arrival of the Fourth Hokage caused Hiruzen to scatter most of the paper work he had completed. He let out a groan in frustration.

"What is it Minato?" Hiruzen turned to his successor and instantly let go of his frustration upon seeing the serious look on Minato's face.

"An Uchiha is on the way to the village with Kurama under his control! Most likely he is planning to attack! I'll tell you the details later, but right now I need you to get all the civilians to safety. Have the genin and lower level chunin escort them to the safe houses. I want everyone else who is fit for battle to prepare for when they get here. Try to get Jiraiya to sober up and start planning out a seal for Kurama if we can't get him to snap out of it. Also, get someone over to the hospital and tell them to get ready to take care of Kushina and our child, let they know that she will be taking care of a half-demon. I'm going to get them now." As Minato finished he disappear with his Flying Thunder God Technique.

Hiruzen was frozen for a moment as he processed everything that he was just told. He took a breath and went straight to work preparing everything that Minato had told him to do.

-Outside the Hidden Location-

Minato appeared out of thin air in front his wife who had managed to make it almost a mile away from the hidden room with her daughter in her arms.

"Kushina. You shouldn't be up yet. You need to rest. Not only did you give birth today, but you also had Kurama ripped out of you." Minato said with a worried look on his face.

"I know Minato, but I couldn't just sit there and do nothing while you went off after that man. You know that I can't sit still for very long. Besides, I'm worried about Kurama and our little girl here. Kurama might still be aware of what he is doing right now and he is going to hate himself if he remembers any of this after it's all over. And our daughter has barely made a sound since you left. I almost scared myself to death thinking that she was dead, but then I realized that she was breathing." Kushina explained as she let a halfhearted laugh escape her lips.

"Alright, I definitely need to get the two of you out of here." He took hold of his wife and daughter and disappeared with them.

-Konoha-

Minato and Kushina exit there home and begin to head to the hospital so that they can have their child looked at. They were both worried since the small girl was not making any kind of noise despite all that had happened so far that night. They were half way to the hospital when they heard a large explosion. They looked towards the direction of the blast and saw Kurama in the center of the smoke as it cleared. The Kyibi let out a terrifying roar and began to attack the village, destroying buildings all around him.

"We have to stop him. All of those people are dying. He'll never stop hating himself for this. It took me years to get him over his anger and to come out of his shell. I don't even want to think about what might happen to him after this." Kushina hung her head low to avoid looking at her longtime friend.

"It's going to be okay. I already told Hiruzen about the possibility of attack so the civilians should already be evacuated. And Jiraiya should be working on a seal for Kurama if we can't get him to stop." Minato looked at Kurama as several Ninja tried to lead him away from the village with the use of kunai and explosive tags. It was not working.

"Come on. I need to get you two to the hospital quick and then go look after Kurama." Minato picked up his wife bridal style and started jumping from rooftop to rooftop. They were about half way to the hospital when something landed in front of them and began to attack. It was the masked man from before. Minato jumps backwards and placed his wife on the roof before he went back to fighting off his attacker. Minato draws his signature kunai as the man took out a tanto.

Minato charged at his opponent and the two crossed blades. Minato was pushed back and threw a kunai at the man. The masked man ducked underneath it preparing to attack again only to look up and find Minato gone. Minato had appeared above him holding on to his kunai with a Rasengan in his right hand. Minato drove the Rasengan down towards the man below him only to be shocked as it appeared to pass right through him and make contact with the roof below.

'How did he do that? Is it a space time jutsu? If it is, why didn't he use it sooner?' Minato recovered and was facing the Sharingan user once again.

"I didn't use it before because I didn't think I'd need to. Clearly I underestimated you." Minato paused as he heard the man's response.

'How did he know what I was thinking?' Minato refocused when he heard the man let out a little laugh.

"Because it's written all over you face. Now shall we continue?" The man brought his tanto to the ready and leapt at Minato. The two fought for a short while and Minato began to catch on to how the Sharingan user's jutsu worked. He just had to time his attacks right and strike at the same moment the man did.

"This is taking too long." As the man said this Kuram's claw came out of nowhere and struck at Minato. The blond Hokage managed to avoid the attack by jumping to his left. Unfortunately he didn't realize that he left his back open to the black haired man. Minato feels a sharp pain in his chest and looks down to see the tanto covered in black flames coming out of his chest. He felt his strength start to leave him as the man tossed him at Kushina.

The red head rushed towards her husband and cradled him in her arms. She began to cry as she saw the black fire burn a larger hole in him.

"Finish them." Kushina looked up to see Kurama raise his claw and prepare to strike them down. Kushina was afraid. She was afraid herself, her husband, her daughter, and her friend. If Kurama went through with this it would kill him as much as he was about to kill Kushina and her family. She saw the claw come down at her.

"Kurama! Stop!" To the amazement of everyone present Kurama stopped when he heard Kushina's voice.

"Their bond is stronger than I thought." The masked man turned to look at Kurama in an attempt to reassert his control on the Kyubi. As he turned Minato saw his chance. The blond appeared in front of the masked man. Right over the three point Kunai that was on the roof.

"You lose." Minato chuckled as he placed a contract seal on the man to destroy the control he had over Kurama. Minato knew that with this it is his victory as he fell to his knees. The Sharingan user cursed under his breath and moved just in time to avoid a strike from Kurama, who appeared to be severely pissed off. Kurama regained control of his body and turned of all his focus to the black haired man and began to attack him without restraint. The man leapt form building to building as he avoided the Kyubi's attacks. As he landed on the next building he was immediately thrown high into the sky by one of Kurama's tails. The man fell back to the earth and when he looked at Kurama he saw a Tailed-Beast Ball ready to launch. The attack was fired and the man tried to allow it to pass through him, but the power was too great and he cried out in pain as the energy coursed through his body. The Sharingan user hit the ground hard.

Kushina let out a sigh of relief as she saw Kurama dispatch the masked man. She knew that everything was over for now and she could focus on making sure her family was alright. Her resolve broke when she saw how difficult it was for Minato to breath. Kurama made his way back over to the family and shrunk down to the size of a normal fox, though still with nine tails.

"How is he?" The now miniature Kyubi had a look of concern on his face as he sat down next to Kushina. The question really did not need to be answered or asked in the first place. It was clear that Minato was hurt badly. The Kyubi took a second to look over Kushina and her daughter as well, neither seemed to be in the best of shape. Kushina looked to be in pain, most likely because he was torn out of her. He knew what that meant for most jinchuriki and he was honestly and happily surprised that she was still alive. The baby was another matter entirely. One would think she was dead because she did not seem to be moving. The only indication of life was the slight rise and fall of her chest as she breathed.

"Kurama? Is that you?" Kurama was shocked as he realized that it was Minato who had just spoken to him. It was a miracle that he was still alive after taking a blade covered in Amaterasu through the chest.

"Minato?" Kushina looked down at her husband who his head on her lap as she held their daughter in her arms. She took her left hand and began to stroke his cheek.

"Kushina. Hey, no crying on me, okay? Kurama is alright and so is out daughter. Heh, we still need to pick a name for her don't we?" Minato looked as his daughter and marveled at how beautiful she was.

"We can name her anything you want. Just stick around so that she can complain about it when she gets older." Kushina did not want the love of her life to leave her and their child alone. She started to sob.

"Shh, it's going to be okay. Hey. I have an idea. Why don't we name her after our favorite gutsy ninja?" Minato had a smile on his face as he remembered their shared favorite book.

"Naruto? But she's a girl." Kushina had to laugh at the thought of their daughter being named after a guy, especially one that was not even real.

"I know. Okay. How about Naruko? That could be a girl's name, right?" It sounded right to him.

"Yeah, I like it. Little Naruko Namikaze." Kushina smiled down at Naruko.

"No. With that hair she is definitely an Uzumaki. Naruko Uzumaki. Hm, has a nice ring to it." The couple along with Kurama let out a laugh at Minato's statement. Then Minato started to cough and spat out some blood.

"I don't think I'm going to last much longer." He stares up at his wife and their eyes lock. "Kushina. I love you. I would love nothing more than to have been able to spend the rest of my life with you raising our daughter together. You two are the most important things in the world to me. I will love you both forever." Kushina had broken down in tears by this point and was clutching on desperately to her husband with her free arm.

"Kurama. I want you to look after these two for me. They mean the world to me and if you let anything happen to them I'll haunt your furry ass for the rest of time. " Kurama just nodded as he watched his friend slowly die before his eyes. It was not the way Kurama would ever have expected Minato to go. As Minato closed his eyes for the final time Naruko began crying.

-4 years later-

'My father was a hero, wasn't he?' Naruko was sitting under a tree with her knees drawn up to her chest and her arms wrapped around them. At three Naruko had grown her first tail and it too was wrapped around her body.

'Yes kit he was. A true hero and a true friend. He will be remembered for all time." Kurama thought fondly of his old friend and wished he could see the person his daughter was growing into. If Kurama was right she would be even greater than her father.

'I miss them, which is weird because I never even knew my father and I can barely remember my mother.' Kurama let out a heavy sigh. Kushina had managed to live for a year after Kurama was removed from her. He body suffered heavily from the strain and slowly her organs began to fail. It was sad to watch her go, but she had plenty of happy times with her daughter before she passed away.

'I know kit, I know. I miss them too. But at least we have each other.' He really did miss them they were his best friends and the closest thing he had to family in the mortal realm. All his actual family was in the demon realm and most of them were assholes.

'I know Kurama, it's just sometimes I wish I had a bigger family. It's just you, me, and gramps out here on the road. Momma Aika is always busy with work so I hardly get to see her. I wish that I had a home and a family to go home too.' Naruko had lived the last three years of her life on the road with her gramps and while it was rewarding, it was not what she wanted for the rest of her life. She wanted a big family.

'Well that is obtainable.' Naruko sat straight up upon hearing this.

'How could I have a big family when I'm the last of the Uzumaki?' Kurama just chuckled. Sometimes he was amazed by how intelligent Naruko could be, but at times like this she still acted like a four year old.

'That is true, but what you seem to be forgetting is that you are the heir to the Uzumaki clan so you can revive your clan. All you have to do is find a man willing to marry you and take your name, then have a bunch of kids together.' Naruko shook her head.

'No way. Boys are gross. They're just like gramps, all pervy and creepy.' Kurama laughed at the description Naruko gave.

'In that case what you need to do is go around and adopt strong individuals into your clan so they can repopulate it for you. They gain the privileges of being in the Uzumaki clan and you get a big family.' Kurama was quite pleased with his solution and he believed Minato would agree with him. After all, what father would want to see his little girl chasing after some guy?

'That sounds easy! I'm going to do it. I'm going to revive the Uzumaki clan!' Naruko shot up and spun around on one leg with her fist in the air, a huge grin on her face.

"What are you doing kid? I thought I told you to stay close to camp." Naruko turned to see her gramps walking towards her. She smiled at him.

"Hey Gramps! Dad and I were just talking about stuff. Guess what? I'm going to revive the Uzumaki clan." Naruko was practically bouncing on her feet while she shouted this.

"That's nice sweetheart. I still don't get how you can call me Gramps, but you call that fox Dad. He is way older than I am." Jiraiya always got annoyed when he was called Gramps. He was only forty-one after all.

"It's because you look like an old man." Jiraiya practically feel on his face at hearing the comment made about his looks and Naruko had a huge smile on her face. Kurama was laughing to himself.

"Yeah whatever. Let's go back and eat. We need to get up early tomorrow if we want to make it to Konoha before dark." Jiraiya turned and headed back to camp with Naruko following close behind. She was looking forward to seeing her old home again.

A/N: And that's chapter one. I hope you liked it and are looking forward to the next one which should be out next week. Please review. I would love to get some feedback on how this turned out. Till next time.
