I do not own Naruto this is a fan fiction only.

For as long as I can remember people been telling me there was not story were Naruto wasn't the constant victim of abuse. After thinking about it for a long time I decided to try and write one and hope it will make the people that mentioned this are happy.

The story began as a village was formed. It was formed by two childhood friends and many families that came to respect the two friends. The first was a man the name of Harishama Senju and his good friend Madara Uchiha. The two friends had a brother each and they usually would have arguments but like any good friends they would eventually work them out.

They named their village the Hidden Leaf Village and they became a village that was mainly to defend the Fire country under the rule of a Lord. The years went by and one of the friends became enamored by a young woman as often happens to the young. The real problem was that Madara Uchiha had fallen in love with Yoshida Sarutobi and the head of her family didn't like it one bit.

"Madara what can we possibly do? I don't want to anger my father but I can't live without you. I love you and I know you love me. How can our families deny that which gives us so much happiness. " Yoshida was troubled and so she wanted to find a solution. Madara was always practical in his decisions.

" Yoshida we can't let them live our lives, I don't have a problem since me and my brother were kicked out of our clan grounds but I refuse to let them dictate who I am allowed to love and marry. I will live my life the way I chose since it is my life. I don't care what the others say we will maintain our stance and as long as we love each other we will wear them down till they accept us being together. "

This all sounded wonderful to her and he never would want to give up on their relationship. Life however is hardly ever so easy or sweet. As time passed and their relationship became more and more physical the expected came to pass. Yoshida during one of their secret dates told her beloved that she was pregnant with his child.

Madara was beyond happy to hear that his beloved and he would have a child of their own. So happy was he that he told his best friend and she was also happy to see her friend be so happy. Now Madara's friend did not live in the village like he or the other families did, because Madara's friend was one if the nine tailed beasts. She was the one called the Kyuubi No Kitsune, but he called her by the name her father gave her which was Kurama.

"Can you believe it Kurama my beloved is going to have our child. I can't tell you how happy I am. I am going to be a father. " Kurama smiled she saw her friend looking so excited. Kurama did give him one piece of advice." Madara take care of your mate and your child. I know from personal experience that losing both will cause the light in your soul to go out. If that happens you will lose your way and possibly even your life. "

Madara took these world's to heart and as the day finally came for their son to be born. The clan head of the Sarutobi Clan demanded from the leader of the village. To kill Madara and the child so that their clan would remain pure. Harishama couldn't believe what Yoshida's own father was asking him to do. He knew that maybe he could convince Madara to take his son and raise him on his own, but he had to promise to leave Yoshida alone.

When the two men met and Harishama told him of his idea, Madara could not believe his childhood friend would ask him to do such a monstrous thing. "No Harishama I don't care that her father hate me. As long as Yoshida loves me I shall raise our son together and her father be damned I will not abandon my beloved or deny her the happiness of seeing our child grow up."

Harishama understood what his friend was saying and he truly felt sympathy for his problem. "Madara the village is just barely getting to the point where we can be self sufficient. If we are not united thus village which we made together will be destroyed. Do you want our village to be destroyed? If not I ask you to make a small sacrifice and raise your son on your own but you must leave Yoshida if possible make her think you no longer care about her. "

The argument went back and forth between the two men and their was was no way either side would give in. Harishama found himself having to do something he never wanted to do, but in the end he justified it by saying that as the first Hokage he had to think of the welfare of the village first.

Madara's son was now three years old and Yoshida had finally moved in to his home. One stormy and windy night as she was preparing to give her son the last bite to eat for the night she saw a stranger take her son from his crib and jumped out the window escaping into the night.

Yoshida screamed that someone had taken their child. Madara knew that something was wrong as he heard his beloved scream. He understood what had happened between the sobs of his beloved. "Don't you worry Yoshida I will find our boy." Madara had only one recourse and that was to ask Kurama to help him locate the man who took his son.

Kurama was more than happy to help him find this creep that would steal a child from his own crib. When they reached a river they realized something. "Kurama I think this whole thing was a trap. I just can't believe my own childhood friend would stoop this low." In front of him was none other than his friend the first Hokage.

"I gave you a chance to save yourself. I told you that Yoshida's father would never let the village remain peaceful if you tried to raise your son with her. Now I am sorry my old friend but for the good of the village I will have to kill you. "

Madara was furious when he was told this, he kidnapped his son and all to draw him into an ambush so he can kill him. To make matters worse he justified it by saying that he did it for the good of the village." You are full of something foul my old friend. I will rescue my son and I will return with him to be with his mother. I could always beat you when we were growing up. What army are you going to use to kill me, cause alone you have no chance at all. "

Harishama gave the signal and half a dozen of Madara's own students jumped out of hiding." I think this one is large enough to deal with you. "

That was how the true battle that formed the valley happened, but no one would be left alive to tell the truth. Harishama killed both Yoshida and Madara's brother to keep the possibility of anyone figuring out the truth. Young Minato was subjected to some of the most horrible torture the Interrogation division could dream off and caused him to completely forget everything about his life prior to that day.

He went even further and wrote himself the history of what happened in the valley he himself called the valley of the end. He wrote that Madara had betrayed the village after he found out he would not be even considered for the position of Hokage. His brother was named his successor largely in part as payment for him keeping up with the lie his brother had made.

The real reason why he helped the Sarutobi clan was not as altruistic as if first seemed. He had actually followed Madara using his control of wood and saw that his childhood friend was also very close to the most powerful of the tailed beasts. This was an opportunity he simply could not let it escape. He helped the Sarutobi Clan Head in hopes that Madara would ask his furry friend for help, which he did.

At the end of the battle he sealed Kurama inside his own wife. Mitc Uzumaki had married him some years before but for some strange reason she could never have a child reach full term and thus she had no children of her own. The desperation of losing several children that made her accept the plan.

Minato was given to an orphanage that the first Hokage opened and was registered as Minato Namikaze. He really should have been named either Minato Uchiha or Sarutobi but it seems the stigma of being Madara's illegitimate son prevented him from being given the Uchiha name and the reason he didn't receive the Sarutobi name was for obvious reasons.

As Minato finally reached his eight birthday Mito told her husband that the planned worded. That she was pregnant and thanks to the healing powers she gained from being the jinchuriki of the nine tails it would be easy for her to carry their child till she grew big enough and healthy enough to be born.

In the coming years she would give birth to two daughters. One she named Tsunade Senju and the other she named Kushina Uzumaki to preserve her clan name with was lost tragically during a battle with a neighboring village that wanted to expand their territory.

Minato was allowed to enter the Academy and in walking in his own father's footsteps he slowly became a prodigy in the ninja arts. He was easily the best student Hirunzen Sarutobi had even seen and being the apprentice of the first Hokage that was saying something.

Life is full of odd occurrences that simply make no sense at the time. The way Minato met with Kushina as Kumo had tried to kidnap her so they could force Mito to rescue her and they get the opportunity to steal the nine tails was one of those occurrences. Minato only a genin at the time managed something that should have been impossible. He defeated a team of kumo jounin and rescued Kushina single handedly. The result was as many would have expected. Kushina being carried in a bridal style back to the village by Minato and the fact that he had risked his life against overwhelming odds made Kushina fall madly in love with him.

The two may have been in separate years in the Academy but outside of it the two were inseparable. They looked like nothing in the world would prevent them from living their little romance. Her parents accepted it since deep down they looked at them and saw that they were exactly the same way Yoshida and Madara had been when they first started their relationship.

As the second Hokage was named the second shinobi world war occurred. Minato by that time was a chuunin along side his beloved wife Kushina. The two would have the misfortune of being sent to the most dangerous and risky front of the war. It was here that Minato would gain the moniker of the yellow flash from one of the jutsu he developed with the help wolf his wife.

Kushina would also gain the moniker of the red death for unknown to most Kurama traveled through her umbilical cord and entered her still developing body while she was still inside the womb of Mito. This gave her incredible healing abilities that almost made he able to regenerate from any injury and could use Kurama's Chakra since before she was a genin.

The Chakra of Kurama and her skills as a sword woman made her someone so feared on the battlefield that it was the reason a lone survivor said in his dying breath that he met the red death and thus she gained the moniker.

Their lives seem to revolve around war sometime. Minato was named the fourth Hokage as his mentor the third Hokage wanted to focus more on the health of his wife and his son and as soon as he took the position as the fourth Hokage the third shinobi world war began. As the war progressed Kushina became concerned.

"Minato I know that you are busy but I have to tell you something. It is important otherwise I wouldn't have bothered you when you are so overwhelmed with this war. "Minato looked at his wife with a smile on his face and kissed her. She was happy to see that he was not as angry as she had imagine he would be.

" You are the love of my life Kushina, you can talk to me anytime you want. " Kushina not being able to contain it any longer told him that she was pregnant with their first son and according to her friend and her sister her baby would be a boy. Minato was not often surprised enough that he needed to sit down but this was one of those occasions. He for an instant was so happy that he rushed to his wife picked her up in his arms showing how happy he was that they were having their first child.

History repeats and this was no exception. Kurama once again travelled through the umbilical cord of the son of Kushina and entered him much like she had entered his mother. This ensured that unlike Mito before her Kushina had a relatively easy pregnancy. As the war ended Kushina gave birth to her son Naruto Uzumaki.

They boy had several things that made him unique. The first was that he had onyx black eyes unlike his father who had deep blue eyes. The second thing were the whisker marks on his face was which Kushina even said they were sensitive like they actually were whiskers. The last was almost expected as Kushina explained most Uzumaki have red hair.
