Just too let everyone know all the Genin 11 are two years older, like Sasuke would be two here along with everyone else, except for Lee, Tenten, and Neji who are three.


Prologue:


The battlefield was bathed in spilt blood from friends, lovers, and even entire families as the civilians ran for the Hokage mountain to the endless caverns that promised safety from the demonic beast. Everywhere on the rubble where part of 'The hidden leaf village' lay, there were screams, and wailing from the surviving ninja who attempted vengeful attacks on the invincible beast, only to die in vain reuniting with those that they lost.

Mostly everyone was fighting to buy time for the Fourth Hokage to arrive and fight off the monster himself, but when he did arrive they had no idea that he was carrying a small newborn in his hands, nor did they hear the cries from the small infant, all they heard were the clashes of blows coming from the two opponents as they fought. The Fourth Hokage used his summon jutsu to call upon Gamabunta, the great chief toad that seemed to be barely at par with the fox. The battle raged on with neither side slowing down, but the toad and his summoner were losing their remaining Chakra reserves which slow their reaction to the Foxes attacks.

"Damn it! I hoped that I didn't have to resort to this!" Minato Namikaze cursed himself as he looked at the young baby in his hand, he had blue eyes that glowed when he looked at his father for the first and last time, his golden hair brushed aside as Minato kissed the baby's forehead, he smiled down at the child as a single tear came down his cheek and landed on the newborn, who stared in wonder as he watched his father perform hand signs, within seconds the red beast dissipated in thin air. With the monster gone a seal symbol appeared on the young boys stomach, everything went silent the only sounds heard were the cries of a newborn baby, and the Forth by his side smiling at the boy as a ghostly being drained the young Hokage's soul from his body leaving him with little time to say farewell.

"Good bye Naruto, Live a good li-" The Forth didn't finish his sentence as he was placing the infant on the ground, feeling weak he fell by the baby's side as his life was quickly leaving him, many ninja cried in joy at the foxes disappearance, but Third looked for his successor in the ruined battle field, only to find a young silver haired boy standing over a body as he caressed a small object, the boy turned to face him with a kunai in his spare hand while the other held what seemed to be a small bundle in a blanket. Sarutobi quickly recognized the boy, he was the son of the white fang, and Minato's only living student, Kakashi Hatake. A small cry was heard from the small bundle the young teenager was carrying, who quickly put away his kunai when he recognized the third before him to turn his attention to the bundle in his hands.

"Is that-"Sarutobi words trailed off when Kakashi nodded his head as he revealed a young blond haired newborn whimpering in the young teens arms, and a seal on his small stomach as he looked at Kakashi who was frantic about what he should do with a baby, he couldn't make a newborn walk, crawl, he wasn't sure if he held the baby right as he looked at the third his only eye was crying for help. The elderly man chuckled with a pained expression as he looked at the young babe, who was identical to his father, as held the baby in his arms who seemed to stop crying all together as his small eyelids slowly closed as he fell asleep. Sarutobi looked at his deceased successor who was smiling at the area where the baby was before Kakashi picked up the wailing child to calm him down.

'Your child is the hero you always wanted him to be. Minato, I will try my best to protect him while I can.' Sarutobi thought as he looked at the young yellow flash who looked at peace, as he slept for eternity.

"Looks like the Namikaze line is stronger in genetics than the-"A man with black hair and eyes appeared, his ninja attire had a red and white fan embroidered on his sleeve, he walked to the elderly man before him holding the small golden haired babe, who slept totally unaware of his surroundings, as many more ninja appeared before the man and the body of the Forth Hokage. They all wept when they saw their leader on the ground, while many screamed, pleading that it wasn't true, the third looked at the people in sadness as he sighed.

"Everyone listen, the Fourth Hokage gave his life for his village, and also saved it by placing the demon fox in this young newborn baby." Before the third could finish his speech he was interrupted by the screams of the survivors.

"That boy is a Demon, we haft'a kill him!"

"The fox is still alive, we have to finish the job!" many more yells of the survivors were heard, until Kakashi yelled at them for making such suggestions. The boy held some power over his peers, as the genius copy Nin who was quite powerful despite his young age.

"This child is a hero, his name will go down in history as Naruto Uzumaki." Murmers covered the area as some of the ANBU began to carry the fourth, some scowled and glared at the young orphaned infant, while the rest looked at the boy with sad eyes understanding the words the elderly man had just said.

"Uchiha, his name is Naruto Uchiha." The man with the red and white fan symbol on his arm spoke, he looked at the child with sadness.

"What are you saying Fugaku?" The third asked as he observed the man who stood before him.

"I am saying I will take the child in, after all he is my sister's only child." Fugaku said, observing the blond Uchiha before him, taking in each and every detail the child had.

"So you knew the truth this whole time?"

"Yes I knew, I am not a fool Sarutobi, I knew my sister was with child when she saw Mikoto merely hours ago. Also the fact that she died only moments before I arrived here, I saw her about five kilometres from here in the same position as the fourth" Fugaku sadly said, as his emotionless mask was faltering as he looked at the baby. Sarutobi saw the sadness the other man, before he sighed, and passed the sleeping baby to Fugaku who grabbed and held the baby in his arms.

Kakashi watched as the newborn was given to his new father, he felt regret as he watched the older and powerful man walk away with the baby, he wanted to hold the baby one more time, he tried to call out, but his voice was failing him, but when he saw the man was almost out of sight he yelled his loudest.

"WAIT." Everyone stopped moving, Fugaku turned around to see the only boy he looked down upon, but held in his clan pride to listen to the boy, on the most dreadful day in all their lives.

"P-please, can I see Naruto one last time?" The young Jounin asked his eyes were closed as he waited for rejection from the older man, Fugaku sighed as he looked at the boy before him, and back to the golden haired infant in his arms.

"Yes, this will be the last time you may see him." Fugaku said as he walked towards the young teen who looked at him in disbelief, his mismatched eyes widen as he place the baby in his arms. Kakashi looked at the boy in his arms as he held him close in an embrace, as he whispered to the newborn which only Sarutobi and Fugaku heard what he said.

"If only I was older, I wouldn't ever let you go." Kakashi gave the baby back to Fugaku who nodded at the young boy who ran off to help his fellow ANBU carry the fourth back to the village; some were surprised to see emotion from the child. Everyone who was alive either went home or helped with the dead as dribbles of rain drops fell from the sky. The earth was crying for the losses that were lost that one night, in one attack that claimed the life of a leader and a hero, and condemned a life of a child who had just started life merely moments before the attack.


Fugaku ran home to his wife and two sons with the child in his arms, his thoughts traveled from the boy to his youngest son Sasuke who had just turned two a couple weeks before, then to his eldest wondering he would take the news about receiving a new baby brother. Fugaku stood outside the Uchiha compound, looking at the small gate, as the silence was overcome by the drips of the rain wondering how he could protect the boy. Thoughts of his sister went through his mind at the young girl who had bright red hair. Kushina was the kind of girl who loved to dye her hair red, to hide her true heritage. The day she left the compound was the day she married the Fourth Hokage, who was then just a Jounin, and changed her maiden name to Uzumaki since our first Hokage's wife was once an Uzumaki and it was currently an extinct clan.

Fugaku stood still until he heard the baby start to cry, it brought him back to his senses as he walked into the compound and to his home, the place was not grand nor was it poor, it suited him and his family as he remembered his boys would run around playing one of their many games. The pride in his eyes was his oldest that loved his younger brother so much, and was considered a prodigy among his peers. Fugaku walked into his home to find his family was awake along with some of the clan elders waiting for his return. Naruto was whimpering in his wet form as Fugaku walked to his wife and passed her the child.

"This is Naruto, he is Kushina's child." Mikoto looked at her husband in fear, she had tears forming and threatening to fall as she waited for her husband to speak, while the elders and Itachi gasped, Sasuke stared at the child in his mother's arms while playing with the infants small toes.

"Sh-she didn't make it." Mikoto began to cry as she held the infant in an embrace remembering her young friend, who was smiling at her earlier that day, Itachi tried his best to hold his tears in but a few tears made it passed the boys iron will to hide his emotions, while the elders sighed in sadness, placing their hands on Fugaku's, and Mikoto's shoulder showing them they had support. The clan was fond of Kushina, the only thing they regretted about her, was that she was the container of the fox demon Kyuubi, and she also married outside the clan.

"What will happen to the boy Fugaku?" One of the elders asked as he looked at the child in Mikoto's arms, they saw Minato Namikaze in the young infants features, who had whisker marks on his cheeks.

"Wait is he the new container?" Fugaku glared at the elder who asked that question, warning them not to say another word.

"Yes, he is the next container. I only hope that his hair will change to a darker shade when he gets older, but I don't mind the eyes." Fugaku said, his wife slowly stopped crying as she looked at the baby before who was staring at Sasuke who was trying to grab the smaller baby's hand as he stared at the small infants hands in awe.

"Yes, but if he remains blond it will cause trouble for the clan, his Namikaze blood is exceptionally strong." An elder spoke as he looked at the infants golden locks with a worried expression on his elderly face.

"If not we can use one of our clans jutsu to make him look more of Uchiha lineage, but even that has a time limit, when the caster dies the jutsu will fail." Fugaku spoke as he tried to think of a better solution.

"No! I want the boys golden locks, we can say he takes after his father's side who is a half breed Uchiha, he will not ask questions, nor will anyone else after we put him in our family registry the building that hold all records of families was destroyed, it will be better that way than hiding his features." Mikoto finally spoke she had a hard expression, everyone but the two youngest males knew that there was no way around her decision, and that she was going to get her way.

"Actually now that I think about it, it should work no one would question his heritage. We have a rare few Uchiha's who have married outside the clan, and those who have the blood of outsiders as well." An elder thought aloud, everyone thought about this, until Itachi finally spoke as he wiped his tears away.

"I will tell the council in the morning about this, knowing them they will only say that he is a container." The adults were shocked that the boy understood everything they had spoken about. Fugaku placed his hand on his eldest sons shoulder saying he approved of his suggestion, he sent off the eight year old who understood he had to leave at that moment.

"Well Naruto Uchiha this is going to be your new home." Mikoto said, as her husband and the elders stared at the baby who was continuing to watch Sasuke, who in turn was talking to him with his limited vocabulary.

"Hewwo Naru-chaa, my name ish Shashuke, me am ur beg brudder." Sasuke held unto Naruto's naturally tanned hand as he finally caught the infant's small hands, smiling at the baby who was starting to drift off to sleep.


Well this is the prologue, I am having second thoughts about this chapter, I think I left some info out, or I misspelled the Uchiha's names, but needless to say this is just the beginning the next chapter would be when Naruto activates his Sharingan at four years old, and an overprotective Sasuke, who still idols Itachi, but doesn't feel inferior to him because of Naruto looks up to him.


Toddler Sasuke Translation: "Hello Naru-chan, my name is Sasuke, I am your big brother."

I thought it would seem rather stranger for his vocabulary to be exceptionally high at only two years old.


Well until next time I hope you review and tell me how I can improve this Chapter thanks
