AN: I don't usually like uploading so many different stories, because it leads to some not being updated as often as I'd like, but this idea just hit me out of nowhere.

I decided I had to make an exception for this one. It will most likely be a Fem!Naru (her name is Hiyori in this story, meaning weather) and Sasuke pairing.

Hiyori will be very much like Naruto in personality but also much different. Similar to Naruto from Uzu no Musume for those who are familiar with it. I am just letting you know you can expect her to be a bit different from canon!Naruto since she is a girl and a Hyūga.

Storm Warning Arc.

Clarity.

Chapter 1: Change in Fate.

Sometimes things don't go as planned.

In nearly all worlds, one hero, said to be the savor of the world, would be born to Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina... and yet there are others were he or she is not.

This doesn't change the soul, it is still the same soul in every version of the universe.

So, Uzumaki Naruto, daughter of Minato and Kushina was not born... but she was born as Hyūga Hiyori. Same person, same soul, different life and appearance. A different family, a change in fate.

Hiashi paced as his wife was being frantically prepared for the birth of their children.

It was too early, he knew she wasn't due till December, late December at that, and yet it was only October 10th, and she was already in labor.

Twins were known to be early, he and Hizashi had been two weeks early from what their mother had told them as children.

But two months (give or take a week) worried him. Hitomi was only in the beginning of her seventh month. Yet he was assured they would be fine, that the best medics were there to ensure this.

"Hiashi," a familiar voice said, bringing him from his thoughts.

"Minato," Hiashi replied, looking over at the Yondaime and nodding in greeting. "Where is Kushina?"

It wasn't often Minato was seen without his wife, but they had recently had a tragedy so he supposed he shouldn't be too surprised.

Minato's face crumbled at his former teammate's words. His wife had wanted to come, she was good friends with Hitomi, and the two were family as well.

It wasn't something widely known, but Hitomi's grandmother had been an Uzumaki, Kushina's grandaunt, making her and Hitomi second cousins.

Kushina would have usually come running to support her only remaining family (that was known of after the destruction of Uzushiogakure) but she had become severely depressed after the miscarriage in August.

The fact it had happened so late in her pregnancy and been so unexpected had really hit Kushina hard. It had hit him hard as well.

"Today was her due date, October 10th," Minato answered, sighing heavily. "She's not been doing very well all week."

Hiashi frowned deeply, his usually stoic white eyes showing his sympathy for his friends loss.

Minato shook his head, clearing his thoughts. He had eventually come to terms with it, and knew he had to be strong for Kushina. Now though, he was here to support Hiashi and Hitomi. He hadn't wanted to leave Kushina at home alone, especially not on this day, but the redhead had all but kicked him out of the house.

"How is Hitomi?" he asked.

"She went into labor this morning... I'm concerned it's only October. The twins weren't due til December."

The fact Hitomi was expecting twins had surprised Hiashi greatly. He knew it was a possibility, being a twin himself, but he hadn't expected it.

Early in the pregnancy there wasn't any signs of there being a twin, from any scans, but around the end of the fifth month the check up showed not one but two babies.

Both were girls.

"Hyūga-sama," a medic said, gaining their attention. "You're wife is ready, you and Hokage-sama, if he wishes, may come in now."

Hiashi looked at Minato who grinned, nodding, and the two men followed the medic inside.

"Oh, thank Kami," Hitomi muttered upon seeing her husband and friend.

She was a little surprised to see Minato, and not Kushina but it only took her a moment to realize exactly what today was.

She felt terrible, it should be Kushina ready to have her child, not her. She had seen Kushina in all moods over the years, yet she'd never seen her cousin (second or not) so badly wounded emotionally and mentally until now.

"Try to relax Hyūga-sama," one of the medic's said from where she was between Hitomi's legs preparing for the birth. "You should feel the need to push soon..."

Sure enough, a minute or two passed and the urge to begin pushing came. It was more painful then she'd been warned, but Hitomi was also a petite woman. Only around 5'4, and 105 lbs.

Hiashi grimaced as the bones in his hands threatened to turn to dust from his wife's grip, and Minato had to withhold a snicker at the look of pain that passed Hiashi's face at random moments.

An hour and a half later Minato smiled seeing Hitomi sitting up in her hospital bed, the two pink bundles in her arms. Both were girls, identical expect for some minor features.

One being the younger twin's black hair, while the older twin had the same eggplant-blue colored hair as Hitomi.

"Congratulations, Hiashi, Hitomi," Minato said. "What are they're names?"

Hitomi shared a look with her husband before smiled back at Minato.

'Hyūga Hinata, and Hyūga Hiyori."

Minato nodded, and was about to say something when there was an loud sound, like an explosion from outside.

"What was that?" Hitomi demanded, startled, her white eyes that had a tinge lavender in them were wide.

The white-lavender eyes were a very rare trait, which Hitomi had inherited from her mother, whose mother had been an Uzumaki. Some credited the tinge of lavender to Hyūga-Uzumaki Hanako's lavender eyes.

"It sounded like an explos -"

Minato's words were cut off by the sudden entrance of one of the medics.

"Hokage-sama...the village is under attack!" she exclaimed.

All three pairs of eyes widened, and Hitomi clutched a little tighter at the bundles she held.

"What... by who?" Minato demanded.

The woman's had a look of terror on her face as she answered.

"Kyuubi no Kitsune!"

Minato's eyes widened in horror and all other actions escaped him. The only thing he could think of was his wife. If the Kyuubi was out... then something was wrong with Kushina.

"Kushina," Hitomi muttered behind him, bringing him back to reality.

"Go to safety, I'll head out in a second," Minato told the woman who nodded, and ran out.

"How is this possible?" Hiashi asked.

Minato gritted his teeth, frowning as he shook his head.

"I don't know, but I have to go to Kushina. Something had to happen if the fox is out," he said and Hiashi and Hitomi nodded.

"And what will you do about the fox?" Hiashi asked.

"I don't know yet, I can't kill a Bijū. I'll have to seal it," Minato said. "Stay here with your family..."

"Be careful," Hitomi told him and Minato nodded and in a yellow flash was gone.

"Do you think he'll be alright?" Hitomi asked, looking up at her husband.

Hiashi frowned, deep in thought. He knew Minato could easily seal the fox, but where would he seal it? It was possible he'd be able to seal it back into Kushina, but at the same time unlikely.

The process could end up killing her, or simply not working. He didn't know as much as Minato about seals, but he knew enough to realize this.

"He'll be fine," Hiashi said, turning to his wife. "Come on, we must get to safety."

Nearly two hours later Minato stood with his wife in their home.

He'd found his wife somewhere just outside the village, obviously hurt from the wounds he'd found on her, and struggling to keep from being stepped on by the Kyuubi.

That confused him, Kushina had told him before the Kyuubi wasn't mindless.

It was an intelligent being, so the sudden attack made little sense to him. He'd expected the Bijū to simply leave, not wanting to chance being captured once again.

Yet he acted as if in a mindless rage.

"What will we do?" Kushina asked as she breathed heavily, sitting up in the bed Minato had laid her on.

Minato turned around from where he'd thrown his long white haori on, the kanji for 'Fourth Hokage' proudly on his back.

"I think the Kyuubi is being controlled, but it may be too far gone to come out of it. Either way, we need to reseal it."

"I'll bring it back into myself then," Kushina said, her violet eyes narrowed in determination.

Minato shook his head.

"No, we need another way," Minato said. "It'll simply reform in a few years if you don't survive, and there is the chance you won't."

Kushina frowned but knew her husband was right. She was even better at seals then him, though she didn't really flaunt that around.

She'd always been one to keep her skills to herself unless in battle. Deception was the Shinobi way after all.

Nonetheless, she knew he was right.

"Then what..." Kushina trailed off as her eyes widened in realization. "The Shiki Fūjin?"

Minato nodded grimly.

"It's the only way," Minato said. "The only problem is finding a child young enough."

"You don't have to look far," a familiar voice said from the doorway.

Minato and Kushina looked over to find Hiashi standing, a pink bundle in his arms.

"Hiashi!" Minato exclaimed, blinking in surprise.

Hiashi smiled slightly, nodding.

He'd realized not long after getting his wife and children to safety that his friend would probably have to seal the fox into a child. He knew babies were easiest to use for the sealing because their chakra coils were not matured yet.

Getting into his friends house was rather easy since he'd been here before.

Selfishly, he had ulterior motives. He had studied the caged bird seal closely over the years, especially once Hizashi received it.

He also knew some seals could not be used together without one or the other canceling out or malfunctioning.

He knew the chances of the caged bird seal interfering with a jinchūriki seals was very large, and even if he was wrong, there was no way anyone other than a seal master of Minato or Jiraiya-sama would be able to realize that truth.

He could simply lie, either way he saved his younger daughter from the same fate as his brother.

"I come to offer my help, I was hoping you would be here at least," Hiashi said, entering the room.

"Is that your daughter?" Kushina asked, her eyes locked on the baby in his arms.

"The youngest, yes. Hiyori, I wish to volunteer Hiyori for the sealing," he said, and both Minato and Kushina's eyes widened.

"What?" Kushina asked. "Why, do you understand what this would mean? Hiashi..."

Hiashi nodded, cutting her off.

"I know, Hiyori will have a hard life ahead of her, but coming from the main house of the Hyūga clan will help her with the burden. It will also save her from being pushed into the branch family," Hiashi said.

Kushina pursed her lips for a second and sighed. He had a good point, unlike many jinchūriki she would have a family to back her, a prestigious clan only second to the Uchiha.

There was also the chance her status would not be known, after all, she herself hadn't been publicly known as the Kyuubi jinchūriki, nor had Mito-sama.

Kushina also understood Hiashi not wanting his youngest daughter being forced into the same fate as his brother. Being the younger twin it was a huge possibility.

With the Shiki Fūjin there was no way the Hyūga Elders could force the topic. She had seen the caged bird seal before and it was rather simple in terms of seals and designs.

At least to her, someone who was a seal mistress.

The point was, to place the seal on a jinchūriki would be disastrous since the caged bird seal effected the brain when activated. It could severely damage both the jinchūriki and seal containing the Bijū.

Minato had come to the same conclusion, and they didn't have the time to argue.

"Are you sure, Hiashi?" Minato asked, and Hiashi nodded, holding Hiyori out for Minato to take.

"I am sure, my friend," Hiashi said. "Hitomi has also agreed, though grudgingly. She too does not wish to see Hiyori in the branch family, branded with the caged bird seal."

Minato took the raven haired baby and nodded.

"I will place a seal on Hiyori," Minato said. "It will help protect her, as I don't think Sarutobi will be able to hide the fact she is the jinchūriki. The seal will not interfere with the Shiki Fūjin and will fade within a week. It will simply change Hiyori's appearance to the blood of the one who placed the seal. To those except for those you tell, the jinchūriki of the Kyuubi will be Uzumaki Naruto."

Hiashi's eyes widened, and Kushina gasped.

"Uzumaki Naruto... was that not the name you..." Hiashi trailed off, and Minato smiled.

Kushina looked down at the reminder of what she'd lost, but she had slowly begun to come to terms with it. It was simply the date that had made her even more depressed than usual.

She could see what Minato was doing, by giving Hiyori this alternative identity.

She was an Uzumaki, if only distantly, so Kushina wasn't upset that he'd used her clan name it was simply she'd been startled by the first name. Uzumaki Naruto was the name they'd chosen for their son or daughter.

"I will tell Sarutobi of the truth, and of course my student, Kakashi knows Kushina miscarried so he'll know the truth as well. As for the council, I leave that to you and Sarutobi. You'll only have a week, after that you'll have to either keep her hiden or let Uzumaki Naruto drop off the face of the earth. Another option would be to teach her genjutsu, so she may disguise herself when not home, since the seal I will be using is a genjutsu seal."

"I will talk it over with Sandaime-sama, and my wife after the sealing," Hiashi said and Minato turned to Kushina who stood almost shaking.

"We wish you luck in the future, Hiashi," Minato said, and grabbed Kushina.

Hiashi watched as the two left, realizing it would be the last time he saw his friends alive.

"Your daughter, Hiashi," Hiruzen said, holding out the bundle to the Hyūga clan head.

Hyūga was shocked by just how different Minato's genjutsu seal had made Hiyori appear. If he didn't know what Minato had planned he'd never know this was his daughter.

Her skin was a little tanner, not the fair skin she'd had before, and there were three whisker marks – signs of her state as a jinchūriki, he wondered if they would remain once the seal wore off – one each cheek.

Her eyes were now blue. Her hair was no longer black, but the same blonde of Minato's hair, even her features greatly resembled him and Kushina.

If he didn't know any better he'd think this was their daughter. The only thing that stayed the same was her gender.

"What will you do now?" a voice asked, and Hiashi turned to see Jiraiya-sama, and the white haired Hatake he knew was Minato's student.

"Minato gave me some solutions, and I believe I've decided what to do. No one will know Hiyori is the jinchūriki, not as Hyūga Hiyori anyway," Hiashi began. "Only a few will know that Uzumaki Naruto and Hyūga Hiyori are one in the same. Only the clan will know Hinata has a twin sister, at least for now. When she is older I'll teach her how to disguise herself with henge and other genjutsu."

"Eventually the truth will have to come out," Hiruzen warned and Hiashi nodded.

"I am aware," he said. "But for now they will not."

"And the council?" Kakashi asked.

Hiruzen frowned before nodding.

"I will have to tell them about Minato sealing the Kyuubi, but I believe Minato has given us the answer to that as well. The genjutsu seal will last for a week. That gives us a week to introduce Uzumaki Naruto as the jinchūriki. After that I shall let Hiashi take his daughter home."

"And when the council ask where Naruto is?" Jiraiya asked.

Hiruzen chuckled.

"Eventually, I'll have to tell them the truth, about Hiyori. There is no way around it, at least in concern to the Shinobi council and elders. I shall simply say I had no idea Minato used Hiashi's younger daughter, neither did Hiashi or his wife. It was assumed Hyūga Hiyori was lost in the attack, but when the seal wore off I realized what Minato had done and returned Hiyori to her family. Being the younger twin of the Hyūga heiress and from the Hyūga clan means they can do nothing without causing trouble. The true identity of Uzumaki Naruto will be a S-rank secret, punishable by death if broken. Both her jinchūriki status to those of the next generation and most importantly her being a Hyūga will remain hidden until she is older and Hiashi decides to reveal it."

Jiraiya laughed shortly, nodding.

"That could work," he said.

Hiashi nodded.

"Thank you for your help, Hokage-sama," Hiashi said and Hiruzen smiled lightly.

"Well, I believe it is time we faced the council," Hiruzen said and the elder two nodded while Hiashi handed Hiyori to Kakashi.

It wouldn't do to walk into the meeting carrying his daughter, it might lead to questions after it was revealed who Uzumaki Naruto really was after the Gensō Fūin (Illusionary Seal) seal wore off.

It was safest, and less questionable if Kakashi held onto Hiyori.

Either way, he still had to deal with the Hyūga Elders in concern to Hiyori. That would turn out to be a much bigger headache, he was sure of that.
