"Orochimaru, do you just think that you can care for this demon child? Do you have any idea what could happen if this demon were to get too strong?"

The pale man held the sleeping blonde-hair child close to his chest. A blonde woman with a large bust and a tall man with white hair stood on either side of him, ready to defend their teammate and friend if the need should arise. "I promised the Yondaime to protect his son. And Kami damnit I will protect and raise Naruto!"

"We all vowed to give this child the best of care if his mother and father should perish in any form," the tall man grunted, "If you take him Uchiha, you'll see to it that he'd starve to death and get beaten."

Sarutobi stood up. "Jirayia, what do you propose in order to insure the village's safety and Naruto's safety?"

The blonde woman stepped up. "Orochimaru has already started a small village in Rice Country to help build the Leaf's allies. I propose that Naruto be taken there and raised like he should be. He will be under control, we will take care of him and your village will have no problems about fearing for your precious lives." She finished the last few words with venom that even sent shivers down Sarutobi's spine.

Hiashi Hyuuga stood. "I agree with Tsunade-sama, a small village is just perfect for Naruto Namikaze to grow up in until he's ready to move back here where more people are. It'll give this village time to accept that Naruto is not a monster."

"Are you insane, Hyuuga!? The Nine-tails is inside of that child, by the time he reaches of age that demon will have taken over the boy's body."Hiashi clenched his fists. "I don't believe that trash. If the Sannin say that they can raise Naruto, then I put my trust into them. If anything, Naruto saved this village from peril! You should be grateful for that! If it wasn't for Naruto, your wife would've died before your daughter was born, Haruno!"

The red-haired man sat down quickly when Hiashi's voice rose.

Orochimaru handed the sleeping Naruto to Tsunade and he stepped forward. "Hokage-sama, I ask of your permission to take Naruto with me to my village to raise and train him as Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina would have done. Naruto will never become a threat to this village. But I refuse to let this village become a threat to him."

Saurtobi cleared his throat. "Orochimaru, do you swear that Naruto will not become a threat to this village once he is old enough to return here for the chunnin exams if you take him to your village?"

Orochimaru bowed. "Hai Sensei."

He smiled. "Very well, you may take Naruto to your village and raise him as his parents would. Tsunade and Jirayia, you may join him as well and help, I'm sure he'll need some help if Naruto is anything like his parents."They bowed together. "Hai, Sensei."


Several years later………….

"Naruto! Breakfast is ready!"

"Coming, Baa-chan!" The little blonde boy slid down the stair railing, then jumped to land right beside the woman who looked at him with disapproval.

"Naruto, what did I tell you about sliding down the stairs?"

"I was trying to be a ninja, Baa-chan!" Naruto whimpered.

Tsunade sighed. Naruto was only four years old and already a little hell-raiser in this house. She definitely knew that he acquired that trait from his mother, then she sighed. 'Minato, I wish I was a better mother to you. I must have done something right because you married beautiful Kushina and had little Naruto.' She hugged little Naruto. "After breakfast do you want to watch Jiji-san and Uncle Orochimaru train?"

"Hai, Baa-chan," the cute boy cheered his bright blue eyes brightening up at the mention of his grandpa and uncle. Naruto loved his grandpa and uncle to death and always enjoyed spending time with them.

Tsunade served him his breakfast raman and sat beside him with her tea. "Do you want me to walk with you there?"

"Grandma, I'm going to be a great ninja and a rockstar! I want to do it myself! I'll show Grandpa that I'm a strong ninja and an awesome rockstar!"

Tsunade giggled, "Okay, sweetie, just be careful okay?"

"Okay, Grandma." He wolfed down his bowl of raman and rushed upstairs to get ready. Tsunade gave him his little guitar just as he was about to run out the door then watched the boy run across the yard to the forest toward the river where Jirayia and Orochimaru were training.

Naruto slowed down to a walk and stuffed his hands in his pockets, whistling a tune. Ever since he was three, he could play the guitar when Orochimaru gave him one for his birthday. Since then, Naruto's biggest dreams were to become a ninja rockstar of his own band. And Orochimaru encouraged it, Naruto always played when he wasn't training or playing games with the village kids.

He heard a twig snap and he spun around, thinking it was one of the twins or Kidomaru playing jokes on him. When he didn't see anything, he continued on toward the river. Then he felt a breeze zip behind him. He spun around again. "Stop it guys! It's not funny!" There wasn't a response. He whimpered and began to run toward the river.

Suddenly, he tripped over something bigger than a root and he was kicked in the side of the head. Right before he was knocked out, he let out a scream that echoed through the forest.

Jirayia looked around, straightening his back. Orochimaru's eyes widened in fright. "Naruto!?" He dashed into the forest, drawing his blade and summoning Manda. Jirayia summoned Gamabunta and they scanned the forest to find Naruto.

Tsunade looked out the window, hearing a scream. She saw Jirayia with Gamabunta and gasped. "Naruto!" She ran out of the house and into the forest.

Orochimaru called out for Naruto, hoping to find him before it was too late. He saw a flash of yellow as he ran and he slid to a halt. The yellow was Naruto's head…tinted with red. "Oh Kami no!" He rushed to the boy's side and let out a scream of despair, his body was almost completely broken and was bleeding to death. Naruto was still breathing though and his eyes fluttering. "Naruto, please don't die on me! Hang on please!" He lifted the boy into his arms as carefully as he could. The boy could only whimper in pain. Orochimaru busted into a run to nearly ran into Tsunade.

"Oh Kami! What happened? Naruto!" Tsunade cried.

"I don't know, we have to save him!" Orochimaru ran into the house and downstairs to his personal lab/Tsunade's hospital. Tsunade ran in after him, seeing him laying Naruto down on a bed.

"Orochimaru what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to keep his dreams alive," he answered looking around his lab, "I refuse to let some asshole ruin Naruto's dreams! He will become a ninja rockstar!"

Tsunade watched him for a bit, then stepped up. "What do you want me to do?"

"Set his bones to their right places, keep him alive. I'm going to find a way to prevent this from ever happening again."

Tsunade rushed to Naruto's side and focused her chakra on his bones and keeping his heart beating. "It's going to be okay, Naruto, you're going to live."

Orochimaru found the metal he needed and began searching for a needle to insert the metal into Naruto's bones. The metal would grow with Naruto as he grew up and when he was finished growing, the metal would strengthen his bones. It would take a lot to break his bones after this. It had to work, it just had to…
