AN: Well this chapter is rather… short but it's just to set the story for now. Basically Naruto was born 12 years earlier at the same time as Itachi. Both entered the academy at the same time and made ANBU captain at 12. Well please read and review so I can have some feed back and tell me what you think!!!
Prologue
Naruto Namikaze, 12 years old with blond hair and deep blue eyes, was leading his ANBU team through the wreckage of the leaf village. Itachi Uchiha, a fellow ANBU captain and also 12, was hot on his hells. The two teams were mobilized to search for survivors from the initial attack. The day was October 10th and today the strongest of the tailed beasts, the nine tailed fox, had attacked.
"Team," Naruto spoke as he leapt through the destruction," go with Itachi's team and aid them in search of the survivors."
"Hai," they responded as Itachi and his team turned off and headed closer to the fox with Naruto's team right behind them.

The ANBU captain ran through the village finally reaching the Hokage's tower and sticking with chakra ran up the wall and leapt through the open window into his father's office.
Inside, Minato was coddling a squalling new born baby girl. The girl had green eyes and blond hair. Kushina, Minato's wife and Naruto's mother, lay on a bed nearby. She had passed away from child birth, but no tears were shed. There would be time for that after the battle.
"Naruto," his father spoke," after this, take care of your sister," he gulped away tears, "you'll be the only family she has… protect her." And with that the man disappeared to the battle field bringing the baby girl with him.
"Hai, father," Naruto swore to himself, "I'll protect her with my life." That said the boy once again leapt through the window to rejoin his team and search for survivors.
