Author's Note: Hello everyone! This is my first time writing a fic, so please tell me if I make any mistake, Also English is not my primary language so please bear with the grammatical mistakes. I don't mind reviews that tell me my mistakes so feel free to tell me what you think of this story :)
The idea basically came to mind while I was eating my dinner, and I pondered on it for days and finally came to the decision to put my imagination to some work, and here is the product of my imagination.
I have just reached to 11 standard so you can imagine that I would not have plenty of time to write this fic but I assure you that I'll put all of my free time for this fic.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, just all the OCs, weapons and techniques I would add to this fic (those which are not someone else's property already).

I hope you will enjoy the chapter! ;)

Ch.1

That night…

The night consumed the land itself in darkness. The only solace in this darkness was the moon presented in its full glory and the constant stream of stars lined beautifully in the dark sky. Most people would have called the night a relaxing period if it's not have been their home village's worst night.

Konohagakure no sato, the most prestigious and feared village throughout the elemental nations, had just experienced its worst night. The most powerful of the nine bijuus, The kyuubi, had attacked the village destroying a large portion of the village and killing a good chunk of its shinobi forces in the process. But the most shocking was the news of death of The yondaime. Minato Namikaze, the most powerful shinobi ever have lived, the man who triumphed a war and killed thousands of men with just one jutsu, The Yellow Flash Of Konoha, have died that night protecting his village from kyuubi's wrath and paid the price with his life. The bijuus are the creatures fully made of chakra, so it is impossible for a mortal being to kill a bijuu. Even Minato himself was not above being a mortal being and did the only thing that could have prevented the village from the kyuubi…he sealed it in his newly born son, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, making him the jinchuriki of the kyuubi sacrificing his and his wife, Kushina Uzumaki's, life in the process.

Their corpses were lying on the ground with a crying infant, with blond hair and whisker marks on its cheeks, on top of them….. this was the scene the sandaime hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, with his two ANBU companions saw when they arrived with a peaceof paper in the former's hand.

A ninja's most feared enemies are his emotions. A true shinobi is the one who can mask up his emotions and doesn't show any sign of weakness on his face. At that point of time if someone would have looked at Sarutobi's face that person would have thought that he was a newbie at the ninja career and not the most powerful (period) shinobi of the village who was feared as The God Of Shinobi.

Hiruzen didn't put any effort in hiding his emotions if the look of rage and sadness were any indications. A quick sign of his hand was all that the ANBU needed as they suddenly appeared at the corpses' and the infant's side. Hiruzen lifted the boy and tried to calm him down. As if understanding the situation and grieving for the loss of his parents Naruto didn't stoped crying but soon ended asleep in Sarutobi's arm. The sandaime looked at the ANBU with a serious face.

"Dog, Crab, This kid is the yondaime's legacy" he started with a sad but serious voice. "The savior of the village, the hero as Minato would have wanted him to be. His status as the jinchuriki of the kyuubi is a S-class secret. Words should not leak out to public in any scenario until further orders are given. Understood?"

He said the last part with a bit of firmness in his voice reminding the ANBU that he was still their leader, not that it was needed as he thought.

Dog nodded with firmness while Crab a little reluctantly.

"Good, now go to the village with the dead bodies and put them in the preservation center till tomorrow morning. I would take my time with Naruto" Sarutobi said while looking at Naruto in way only grandparents looks at their grandchild.

'Naruto huh? I should have guessed that sensei will name his son after the protagonist of his favorite novel.' Thought kakashi with little smile under his mask.

Both ANBU nodded once again and left the clearing with the corpses leaving Sarutobi and infant Naruto alone.
Sarutobi for the first time in the entire day cracked a smile and began to sing a lullaby for the Naruto who had beginning to wake because of the immense tension coming from everyone.

"you look just like your father, Naruto." He said as he started walking towards the village. "but your eyes are just like your mom's except the colour."

"if citizens of konoha came to know about what happened to you, they will surely make your life a miserable one. I know my people, and they will probably see you as the kyuubi not as his holder" he said a little sadly.

"The village council already had gained a lot of power from Minato's death. I hope I'll be able to hold them off for enough time for you to get strong. Knowing your heritage you will be able to do that in very short time, I'm sure of this."

As if answering his unasked question Naruto smiled a little.

(In the village)

Crab, after putting kushina and Minato in the preservation center, returned to his home which was nothing more than a rubble on the ground after the impact it suffered during the ruckus.

"Shina! SHINA! WHERE ARE YOU!?" he shouted while throwing away his mask. Underneath the mask was a very handsome face with a little scar across his chin.

He didn't get any response from his wife or late wife as he came to know when he removed a big rock from the kitchen area.

The first thing he saw after entering the kitchen area was the body of his deceased wife buried under multiple rocks of varying sizes. He quickly removed the rocks and embraced the dead body with utmost care.

A single tear broke out from his eye, he tried to not to cry but failed miserably. After what seemed like an eternity but were twenty minutes in reality of crying, he stood up with his deceased wife still in his hands and sunshined away to the preservation center.

(A/N: OST: Sad and Sorrow plays)

In his way towards the hokage tower he noticed a crowd gathering at the gates. He went to see what had caught the village's attention and what he saw almost made him attack the hokage.
He was carrying and singing a lullaby for the kyuubi kid! THE DEMON KID who took the life of his beloved wife! Tears began to form at the sides of his eyes as he approached the hokage and handed him a kunai much to the astonishment of the hokage and the villagers. The hokage looked at the kunai and noticed that some words were engraved on it.

To my beloved Homura.
- Shina.

"What is the meaning of this Homura-san?" hokage asked in a questioning voice.

"This is my last wish, hokage-sama" said Homura while saying the last part with a bit of sarcasm and….disgust?

"I want you to kill me. My wife was my only support in this disdainful world. Without her I have nothing left in this world." He started with a kind of coldness in his voice that sent a shiver down the spine of the villagers.

"My family died when I was small. I lost all my friends in my career, my only lover, my only tie to this world was my wife, my soul-mate…..my friend." He said with a smile and emptiness in his eyes, giving him a creepy look and telling the hokage that the man was completely broken.
"Homura-san, while I can understand your reasons and feel really bad for you I cannot allow you to give yourself away when the village needs more capable ninjas like you. I can assure yo-"

SLAP!

All the villagers saw Homura as if he had grown a second head with horror evident on their faces. The hokage was speechless. He had never expected such an act from his ninjas. To say that he was astonished would be the understatement of the year.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT! YOU ONLY CARE ABOUT THE VILLAGE? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY HUMANITY LEFT IN YOURSELF!?"

The hokage had a saddened face and was listening to his words like they were the reflections of his own deeds. The record of his mis-deeds being described to him by the hell lord himself.

"WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO SUFFER IN THIS MISERABLE WORLD!? THIS WORLD…THIS WORLD HAS NO FATE! NO DEITY OR MIRACLE CAN SAVE IT FROM THE EVIL CLUTCHES OF HUMANITY! THEY KILL, THEY GRIEVE, THEY HATE, THEY REVENGE, AND THIS CYCLE CONTINUES TO MOVE!"

Hiruzen, even after being slapped by the his own subordinate, could not help but notice the truth of his words. Once his own student, Jiraya, said the same things but the difference in their words was that Jiraya was optimistic that this world can be saved and said these things as a wise man not as a broken man who had lost his faith in the world.

"YOU HAD LOSE MY RESPECT FOR YOU. I AM ASHAMED TO CALL YOU MY LEADER! YOU BROUGHT THE KYUUBI, THE BEING THAT DESTROYED MY LIFE, THE BEING WHO KILLLED MY WIFE INTO THIS VILLAGE JUST FOR THE SAKE OF HAVING A POWERFULL WEAPON!? YOU ABANDONED US! OR YOU CAN'T SEE THAT THIS KID IS THE RE-INCARNATION OF KYUUBI!?"

Villagers were terrified at the news. The creature they thought had been defeated by their beloved yondaime, had re-incarnated in the form of a child!

"YES, YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! THE YONDAIME SEALED THE KYUUBI IN THIS CHILD CONVERTING HIM INTO THE BEAST ITSELF!"

Now the villagers were truly horrified. The ninja population of the village seemed to calm down a little after hearing that this boy was the jinchuuriki of the kyuubi but they were not sure if the seal would be enough to hold the kyuubi in it. The general villagers were more horrified and began to mutter between themselves.

"I am not going to live in this tainted world anymore. Forgive me hokage-sama, I didn't meant to offend you. You was my role-model as a ninja and I would be honored to have died by your hands. " Said Homura when he calmed himself enough to not to shout and began to move toward the hokage and Naruto.

Thinking that he is going to attack them, Sarutobi took a defensive stance still holding Homura's kunai in his hand.

"Shina, wait for me." Were the last words of Homura as he cried for the last time and jumped towards the hokage or more specifically towards his hand.
To Sarutobi's shock what he thought of as an offensive attack was just a suicide attempt…..and a successful one.
The dead body of Homura clung to Sarutobi's hand with the kunai piercing his throat. Killed by his role-model and hero through the kunai of his lover, this was the death Homura wanted and in the end, he got it.

(A/N: OST ends)

(At hokage tower)

Hiruzen was in his office thinking about the latest event of Homura's public seppuku with a sad face. Naruto was sleeping at his side in a crib. Hiruzen looked at him with a grand-fatherly smile but was sad for him at the same time. The secret about Naruto must have been the only S-rank secret since the time of Sage of the six paths to have been broken within an hour. Now that the secret about Naruto was revealed, he have to take measures to save Naruto and his childhood. With these thoughts in mind he wrote an order he would execute tomorrow and was sure that this will let Naruto make friends of his age atleast. He didn't know how wrong he was.

Finally, he took Naruto with him and sunshined away to his house unknown to the fact that today's night was the night when the world's fate would change and the harbinger of peace had borned.

Author's Note: I know it seems like just a typical Naruto story in this chapter, like the one you usually read on fanfics, but I intend to make some remarkable changes to this story. I hope you will like the things I have in mind. Also, you can text me your opinion via PM if you wants :)
