Chapter 1: Reason for hate.

"I WILL NOT ALLOW THIS HE IS MY SON, KUSHINA AND I HAVE MADE IT DEAD CLEAR WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE OUR CLANS RE-ESTABLISHED" shouted one Minato Namikaze standing behind his desk while glaring at Homaru, Koharu and Danzo.

Homaru being the elected speaker stepped forward "it is for the good of the village lord hokage how else do you expect us to procure a future vessel for the nine tails."

Minato shook his head and sat back down "Then I will find a host when the time comes other villages have managed without Uzumaki in the past and so can we..." he said looking at each of the elders daring them to argue.

Danzo with his eyes closed stepped forward "well allow me to..."

Minato knowing where he was going narrowed his eyes and held his hand up silencing the old man "No I will not allow you to train my son even if he has shown extraordinary skill I won't allow him to be turned into a mindless zombie loyal to you understood!"

Danzo merely stayed silent. Minato then spoke knowing the elders wouldn't get off his back about the subject of bringing back the Uzumaki said "Look I understand where you're coming from with wanting to put my son on CRA but I and Kushina won't put our children in the program unless they ask and furthermore Kushina has been wanting another child now that Naruto is 10 and doing missions as tokubetsu jonin. Does that make you all happy?"

Hearing that the Hokage and his wife were trying for another child pleased them enough for them to nod and leave his office. Minato then looked to his right and saw a blast of yellow lightening appear and turn into a figure. Sighing Minato closed his eyes "Am I to assume that you heard that entire conversation?"

Naruto nodded and walked over to the wall by the door to his office and lent against the wall and gave his father a sardonic look and said "they are persistent insects father why not just dispose of them they have become obsolete...Oh and the mission was a success all targets were eliminated."

Minato smirked at his son and couldn't help but wonder if his son was actually 20 instead 10, shaking his head Minato leaned back in his chair and looked at Naruto "You know it would cause more paperwork than it is worth to have those three eliminated...good work on the mission I expect your report by tomorrow midday...but I sense you aren't just here to tell me your back though?" he added directing a smile at his son.

Naruto with his eyes closed pushed off the wall he was leaning against and walked over to the chairs in front of the desk and sat while he was doing this he replied to his father's question "Yes I was approached by and asked to join the T&I Shadow Op's and I wanted to know more about them before deciding."

Minato expecting a lot of things like more missions, harder missions, more time off or to have time off and visit Uzu as it was expected of all the Uzumaki who weren't born on the island, but he was not expecting his son to be asking for information on a group of his ninja that in theory didn't even exist they were so secret even the elders didn't know about them the only people that knew were the previous Hokage and the members themselves and even then the Hokage didn't know who all of them were Also if prospective members declined the offer their memory would be wiped so they had no recollection of the offer.

Sighing minato placed his hand on a seal bathing the entire room in a blue glow before speaking "Alright, as of now you are one of 50 people that know of that particular group of my shinobi 48 of those are members themselves, now I think I don't need to tell who the other two people are..." Naruto just nodded his fully understanding what was going on.

"...The Shadow Op's handle missions that not even my Anbu would attempt all of them are close to S rank level, they do the hardest, most unthinkable missions you can come by most of them being S-SSS rank level and the average lifespan for the Shadow Op's personnel during the reign of the previous Hokage was about 1 year minimum if they were lucky, when I got to Office I bought in a rule they can do a year of Shadow Op missions but the year after they have to take a year off and do normal jonin routines so they can rest before re-joining and doing another year of Shadow Missions bringing the average lifespan including the years off to about 6 years, the real kicker is you only work in pairs or by yourself." finished Minato still sat back in his chair staring attentively at his son trying to gauge his reaction while thinking 'to think he has surpassed Kakashi and myself not even Kakashi has been offered to join them. Then again I never was either. But what will you choose.'

Naruto who to be honest was kind of bored with his current run of things doing the odd A rank here and there and mainly doing B-ranks, If he were honest had he not been offered the position with the Shadow Op's he was going to ask to be transferred to the Hunter Corp, nodding he looked his father in the eye showing a steely determination and a hint of insanity (probs need to be a little insane to join my Shadow Op's)not that minato saw it said "Father I will join the Shadow Op's!"

Minato nodded and had to admit he was chuffed to bits with his son grabbed a scroll and started writing and then a minute later held a hand sign making it disappear before standing up and walking round and bringing his son into a hug while saying "I have just approved your application and sent your acceptance of the offer to the head shadow otherwise known as Nightshade, he will explain the rankings cause even I am hazy on the details"

Naruto nodded he was about to reply when the door opened suddenly showing they somehow bypassed his security and silencing seal he placed and they both knew only five people who could do it two of them were in the room the other three people in the village who could do that, One being an old cripple who left about 20 minutes ago, the second wasn't in the village probably at a hot spring perving and the last well she was standing there with a huge cheesy grin and her red hair swinging from side to side as she came skipping into the room.

she then stopped and blinked owlishly when she saw her son who she thought was on his mission squealed and shouted "NARU-KUN" and ripped him from Minato giving him a bone crushing hug.

Minato seeing his calm, semi-stoic son waving his arms around as he was losing oxygen from his face being buried into the side of her right breast laughed and managed to get out "Ah Kushi dear you might want to let Naruto go before you suffocate him"

Kushina hearing him looked down and saw his purple face and let him go and watched carefully as he turned back to his semi tan colour before saying "Sochi, Minato I have great news!"

Minato and Naruto knowing what she was like said in perfect unison freaking out the Anbu that arrived back from their break "Well Kaa/kushi-chan what is it?"

Kushina then squealed and rubbed her tummy "I'm PREGNANT again!"

And like when he found out about Naruto, Minato stared and said "I'm going to be a father to another child" he then repeated it again another three times.

Naruto meanwhile with ten year old curiosity walked over to his mum and patted her tummy gently making the Anbu snicker at his personality quirks being a hardened shinobi one minute and normal ten yr. old the next. "Kaa-chan that means I'm going to have a little brother or sister right?"

Kushina nodded and knelt down and hugged him "Yes you are and as the elder sibling it will be your job to protect them okay"

Naruto just nodded his head and stepped back before looking at Minato before saying with a slightly evil smirk "Ne tou-san does this mean kaa-chan is going to get fat and angrier than usual like you told me she was like with me." he finished by cocking his head to the left innocently.

Minato while he was talking was slowly backing up and sweating up a storm when he saw Kushina's eyes become covered by her hair along with them flaring up and splitting into nine tails when Naruto finished he shouted "Curse you Naruto" before jumping out the window which was quickly followed by a red streak.

Not bothering to look at where they were heading he turned and spoke to the hidden Anbu "And that's what he gets for laughing at my slight smothering episode let that be a warning" he said before disappearing in a yellow lightning bolt shun shin.

9 months later day after nine tails attack 11 year old Naruto

while on his second mission with the shadow Op's Naruto was the second lowest rank being a given a ghost like mask, while on the mission he was doing solo he received a special summons by the Hokage to abort the mission and return to the village ASAP having no choice and the fact the toad that relayed the mission seemed extremely worried Naruto turned right around and high tailed it back to the village which was a day away. While he was running he muttered "I hope everything is alright Fuka-chan is supposed to be born today"

Arriving at the outskirts of the Village Naruto allowed his eyes to widen at seeing the destruction removed is Shadow Op's Uniform and ran through the village towards his family home and saw it was a skeleton completely burnt down "This doesn't look promising."

He then turned and started roof jumping to the Hokage tower that was fortunately unscathed. Looking through the window Naruto jumped to the balcony outside the Hokage's office and saw his father ordering some jonin. Watching them disappear, Naruto tapped on the window giving the utterly destroyed village another glance.

Minato sitting in his chair heard a tapping on his window turned and saw his son sighing in relief he opened the window for him sitting back down he motioned for Naruto to do the same thing which he did.

As he expected Naruto asked "What the hell happened?"

Minato sighed and started to explain what happened...

(Normal Cannon except replace Minato and Kushina's roles with Hiruzen and Enma and the nine tails being sealed into Fuka.)

"...your mother and baby sister are in the hospital resting you can go visit them now if you want?" finished Minato.

Naruto stared down at his lap and nodded "Well at least they and the Village survived this attack that's all that matters we can mourn later the village comes first, Father it is paramount we show a strong Facade to the other nations especially when word spreads of this they will circle us like vultures looking for any weakness to exploit."

Minato nodded "That's my sentiments exactly and why I have recalled every active shinobi back to the village and put the village under martial law and put the shinobi on code red standby, by the way the Shadow Op's will be acting as a police force from the shadows understood all S and higher ranked missions are being put on standby until we have stabilised all genin are going to be doing wartime mission C-rank and above same with Chunin and Jonin, Anbu and Hunters are going bounty hunting so we can get extra funds as well."

Naruto nodded and stood "Seeing as you have everything sorted I will head out and meet my new baby sister and make sure mother is feeling alright." when he finished he disappeared in a yellow lightning bolt.

Minato nodded his and went back to assessing the damage reports that he had.

AT THE HOSPITAL

Appearing outside the office Naruto made his way in and to the front desk as soon as the receptionist saw him she called out "Naruto-sama, I'll take you to Kushina-sama and little Fuka-chan"

Naruto hearing the woman nodded and followed her as she appeared from around her desk walking for five minutes they arrived on the top floor, seeing they were there the receptionist bowed and quickly left to get back. Naruto reached up and opened the door and saw his father's student Kakashi sitting in the window reading his book, he then saw his mother laying on her bed asleep while Fuka was in a little crib beside her.

Walking through he waved to Kakashi and said "You may want to put that away Kaa-chan is about to wake she has a sixth sense when it comes to me entering the same room as her."

Kakashi paling a little nodded "Thanks for the heads up Naruto, I'll step outside and let you have some privacy" as he said that he stepped out the window and stood there reading his book.

Shaking his head he made his way over to the crib and saw his little chubby looking baby sister with strawberry blonde tuft of hair, as he moved his hand forward to stroke her forehead he watched as her eyes fluttered open revealing beautiful deep blue orbs that reminded him of his father. As he was about to pull his hand away he saw her reaching up to him smiling he reached back down and watched as she used her hands to grip one of his fingers smiling he whispered "Hey there Fuka-chan I'm Naruto your big brother and I promise to protect you always...'even if means leaving and hurting you and our family'" he added mentally at the end.

When he finished and all the while looking at his cute baby sister "I know you're awake Kaa-chan you always had a knack for being able to sense my presence."

Kushina just smiled at the interaction of the two and smiled "Yes but you have the same with me since I can't sneak up and hug you anymore." she finished with a pout.

Naruto just laughed softly "that just means you have to get better at stealth."

Kushina smirked "Well I accept your challenge Sochi..." she then paused and gained a more serious look "...how's your father and the village?"

Naruto sighed "Fathers fine, but from what he told me Sarutobi-sama sacrificed himself and sealed the nine tails in Fuka with the Shiki fuin, making her a Jinchuuriki no need to tell you what her life is going to be like from now on...Now there's no need for you to worry Kakashi's outside and I'll stay here and make sure no one tries anything you go back to sleep Ok"

Kushina looked at Naruto with wide eyes when he told her Fuka was the new Jinchuuriki and was about to throw a fit but saw that Naruto was holding his hand to his lips motioning her to be quiet sighing and nodding she laid back down and said "Fuka will be wanting to be fed in a while okay."

Naruto nodded and kissed Fuka on the forehead before giving his mother a hug, he then went and sat in the corner of the room with a camouflage jutsu and supressing his chakra as much as possible.

Kakashi meanwhile was summoned to the Hokage.

Late that night

Sitting vigilantly watching his mother and sister sleeping and thinking about various thing he would be doing as a big brother, Naruto was knocked out of his thoughts as a shadowy figure snuck through the window waiting a minute he watched as the man snuck around his mother's bed and started reaching for his sister and muttered "Now to procure Danzo sama his future weapon."

Not liking what he heard Naruto pulled out a custom looking kunai that had a slightly flattened and longer blade with a longer handle with no ring at the end, at jonin speeds Naruto crossed the room and impaled the man through the stomach missing every vital organ. as he did that his other hand clamped over the man's mouth so his scream of pain was muffled, pulling him away from his sisters crib he pushed the man up against the wall and whispered harshly "I purposely missed every vital organ now tell me what does Danzo have planned?!"

the masked man just returned a blank stare and stayed silent, growling a little Naruto punched the man in the chest by the heart making the shadowy figure gasp, seeing the seal on the exposed tongue Naruto knew the man wasn't rather couldn't talk ripped his blade across his abdomen cutting his stomach and liver he then pulled his kunai out and watched as the man bled out while holding his mouth shut and pushing him against the wall.

when he was sure the man was dead he grabbed the man and walked over to the window and tossed him out and watched as the body went up in flames, Naruto went back to his spot covered in blood 'Danzo what do you and the elders have planned'

Next morning

Sitting in the same position a blood covered Naruto saw the door open only to hear a gasp from a male who then rushed in revealing it to be his father before he could shout or panic too much Naruto called out quietly "Father behind you."

Minato hearing his son turned and saw Naruto standing covered in blood he then got in Hokage mode instead of concerned father mode said "What happened here jonin Uzumaki?"

Naruto stood a little straighter and said two words that would piss him off to no end "Danzo, ROOT"

Minato face became furious and said in a harsh whisper "Where is the body?"

Naruto looked away "the body self-destructed, after I killed the man who wasn't talking I felt a build-up of chakra that reminded me of the self-destruct seals you showed me that one time so I dragged the body and tossed the body out the room and watched as it was engulfed in flames until only ashes were left."

Minato nodded before walking out the room and quickly wrote a seal and placed it on the floor and watched as the puddle and trail of blood was sucked up into the seal. Looking at Naruto he smiled "No need to freak your mother out, I suggest you head home and change the last thing we need is an on edge Kushina"

Naruto nodded "right" before jumping out the window.

Turning to his sleeping wife he moved to her bedside but not before saying good morning to Fuka who seemed to be awake and making gurgling sounds at him.

5 YEARS LATER, 16 YEAR OLD NARUTO, 3 YEARS BEFORE DEFECTION.

Walking past the council chambers on his way to his father's office Naruto saw a civilian council member enter 'strange the council don't have a meeting today.'

Using a camouflage jutsu he snuck in behind the council member and made his way into the corner of the room and saw the entire civilian council and elders were there wondering what they were doing Naruto listened.

"So it is decided we will incite one of the noble clans to stage a coup d'état but use the confusion of everything and have Danzo's ROOT dispose of the Hokage and his followers" said a fat looking councillor.

Naruto hearing that let his eyes widen but they went steely with hate a moment later when he heard the next comment that took all his self-control not to unleash his new lightning jutsu on them.

"Yes but we leave the Hokage's wife and daughter alive so we can use them as breeding stock to strengthen the village." said Danzo.

after a chorus of agreement and sick looks from most of them and they then left waiting for them to be gone Naruto dropped his camouflage 'shame I have no proof but I will keep my eye on the civilian council and figure out which clan they will incite. I'm on to you Danzo; at least we made you fail in capturing my sister.'

Leaving the council chamber he decided not to get a mission but to head back home and help his sister with her kunai and shurikenjutsu.

Arriving home he saw the five year old Fuka with her shoulder length hair in twin spiky fluffy ponytails either side of her head wearing a red and black Kunoichi outfit throw a kunai and miss the target completely smiling a little he walked out until he was standing right behind her waiting for her to throw the next one he saw her grip was slightly wrong and her feet weren't spread wide enough she then threw it and he watched as it missed again by miles.

taking his opportunity he placed his hand on the top of her head garnering her attention turning she looked up to see her cool, calm and composed older brother in his black sleeveless shirt with short sleeve mesh armour under and blue trousers and white like ankle bracers over the top of his trousers and black sandals. She also looked at and smiled at the skull ear ring she got him dangling from his right ear. taking in his appearance she grinned even wider seeing the smile creep along his face jumped and hugged him tightly "Nii-chan what are you doing I thought you were getting a mission?"

Naruto just shook his head "Well I am on a mission to correct such an atrocious shurikenjutsu stance" he finished with a smirk as she watched her huff.

Huffing and crossing her arms Fuka turned slightly "Well that's how the academy instructors showed me"

Naruto hearing that frowned imperceptibly at that 'So they are willingly sabotaging her studies already, well not if I can help it' crouching down at head height he placed his hands on her shoulders and turned her so she was facing him said "Well then how about I show you a better way and you use my way no matter what the sensei's say and if you get in trouble just tell them I told you to okay" he finished with a smile and closing his eyes as well.

Fuka seeing her chance nodded "Yay Naru-Nii-chan is the best" as she said that latched onto him and kissed his cheek sloppily. Letting go she moved back with a look of determination.

Seeing her ready Naruto walked around her used his foot and spread her stance wider and leaned over her and adjusted her grip ever so slightly he then made her face the target and told her to throw the kunai. While she was distracted Naruto turned and started walking away after seeing the Kunai hit the target albeit not the centre but she still hit the target.

Fuka turned around with a beaming smile only to frown when she saw her big brother walking away shouted "Naru-Nii-chan where are you going?"

Naruto just looked back over his shoulder and raised his left hand slightly waving "You hit the target all you need now is to practice then one day you'll be as good as mama, father and me, until then keep practicing."

Fuka seeing him and hearing him nodded 'I'll practice till I'm stronger than you big brother then I will be the one protecting you...ONE DAY BIG BROTHER I WILL BE PROTECTING YOU NOT THE OTHER WAY" she thought then shouted outloud at the end.

Naruto hearing allowed his normally straight face to break into a small smile as he passed by his mother who came to check on Fuka.

Kushina seeing the smile on Naruto's face made her happy but what made her heart swell was the interaction between brother and sister and what they said to each other. and if she had to be honest Naruto's method of training Fuka was very good showing her the basics and getting her to the point she could do it and telling her to practice before leaving her to her own devices.

Once Naruto was gone she frowned a little at what Fuka said about the teachers showing her the bad stance. She then figured Naruto was going to talk to Minato about it but just to make sure she would tell him tonight.

Hokages office

Arriving at his fathers office Naruto lent against his normal wall before speaking jostling his fathers concentration on his paper work "You know the teachers of the academy have already started to sabotage her training, I just had to sort out her shurikenjutsu stance."

Minato hearing that put down his pen sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose "I had a feeling this would happen but not in her first year, don't worry I will have it sorted by monday."

Naruto nodded his head and said "Father?"

Minato just waved him to continue, seeing the gesture Naruto pushed on "I was wondering if I could have permission to enter the archives and personal files of the academy staff"

Minato hearing that was intrigued "Do you reckon this is linked to something bigger"

Naruto pushed off the wall and lied "I don't know but It can't hurt to prod around into certain peoples backgrounds."

Minato nodded "Yes you have permission to proceed with your request"

Naruto nodded and walked out the door.

Minato just sat there "this could be troubling indeed."

4 hours later and one large stack of manila folders later.

'Interesting so most of the academy instructors have ties to the civilian council along with most of the non clan shinobi...troublesome indeed...' thought Naruto as he stretched letting his back crack a little making him sigh. '...It also seems that the Uchiha clan may not need to be incited to start a rebellion thanks to them being isolated to the outskirts of the village...I wonder if Itachi and Shisui know?'

standing he started putting all the files back before heading home for the night.

2, 1/2 YEARS LATER 19 YEAR OLD NARUTO 6 MONTHS BEFORE DEFECTION

standing by his father, Naruto frowns at the report Itachi gives about the Uchiha planning a coup. 'their not the only ones the civilian council and elders are using the Uchiha coup attempt as a distraction to get at father, but to think the Uchiha are still willing to revolt even with father allowing them to be part of the village after removing Lord 2nds rule. this village is truly corrupt to the core.'

Naruto was broken from his thoughts when he heard his father "Thank you for the report Itachi concerning the Uchiha clan that will be all"

"Hai Hokage sama" was all he said in a voice deviod of all emotion as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

Minato turned to Naruto "Your dismissed to I need to finish reading the report and fill in a little more paperwork then I'll be home."

Naruto nodded and disappeared in a normal shunshin.

Arriving out the back of the Uzumaki home he saw his sister lying on her back with her knuckles all bloodied and bruised along with her clothing covered in sweat as was her hair, he also saw a half dead clone next to her.

chuckling to himself he walked over and picked the now 8 year old Fuka bridle style as he picked her up he felt her snuggle into his chest and start to snore softly, shaking his head he walked back to the house going through the lounge he created a clone and told it to grab some bandages and disinfectant. walking up the stairs Naruto walked into her room and saw it still had blue painted walls with some whirlpool motifs on it along with some sea creatures like dolphins and sharks.

Lying her gently on her bed he saw the clone had snuck in and placed the bandages and disinfectant on her bedside cabinet. grabbing the disinfectant he grabbed a cloth and started wiping her bleeding hand getting a whimper from the sleeping girl. grabbing the bandage he firmly tied it around her knuckles and hands, when he was finished he got a piece of paper and wrote a small note on it and placed it on top of a scroll on her bedside table, gathering the stuff he used he bent over and kissed her on the forehead before turning and walking out the room and turning her lights off and closing the door.

the next morning when Fuka woke up she looked at her hands and saw them bandaged looking over she saw a scroll and note picking up the note she read aloud 'Fuka-chan I saw your having trouble with your clone jutsu so I thought I would give you a push in the right direction also I will let you in on a secret Me and Kaa-chan can't do the clone jutsu thanks to our large chakra reserves we are Uzumaki after all,

Also it is all fine in training hard thats what makes a good ninja but what makes a great ninja is knowing your limits and not showing off remember that.

Love Your Naru-Nii-chan'

after reading the note Fuka smiled 'Nii-chan always thinking about my safety'

opening the scroll she read

the Shadow clone Jutsu

A rank jutsu

handsigns clone seal followed by tiger

heavy chakra cost don't attempt if your not a jonin or Uzumaki'

After reading the Scroll she ran outside to learn it.

standing on the roof of the house watching as Fuka practiced Naruto muttered "Forgive me Fuka but I won't be around for awhile it is time I return to the Shadow Op's" he said as he placed on a Reaper mask since it was symbolic of his lenght of time as a member of the secret cult like section of the village.

he then disappeared in a lightning shunshin.

For the next 6 months Naruto used his position as a Shadow Op to spy on the Uchiha, Civilian Council and Elders.

during the six months Fuka was sitting in the kitchen of the house sipping tea while her Mama was washing some dishes. seeing her father walk in and sit by her Fuka asked "Tou-chan wheres Nii-chan he's been away over a month? Is it because he hates me because I'm not as good as him?"

hearing her Kushina stiffened and walked over and pulled an almost crying Fuka into a hug while Minato sighed "Your brother is a special case Fuka even I can't read the boy sometimes regardless Naruto doesn't hate you at all if anything he loves you deeply and would do anything for you, as for where he is even I can't tell you that because it is covert."

Kushina seeing Minato had said his part smiled and added "I remeber him telling me one time saying he is fine if you ever start to hate him, because of him being a shinobi so it is only logical. I told him that would never happen and you no what he laughed and said being the best isn't all what it is cracked up to be, when you have power you become arrogant and isolated from the world no matter how coverted and sort after you were in the beginning, but with the two of us it is different we're both flesh and blood, I will always be there for her even if it is only as an obstacle for her to overcome even if she did hate me thats what big brothers are for." said Kushina to Fuka who sniffled and looked at her puffy eyed.

"But I love Nii-chan I could never hate him, besides he is the reason I train constantly so one day I can stand by his side and not have him worry about me." she said while hugging Kushina.

Minato just smiled at that before excusing himself.
