~5 YEARS LATER~

"HELP ME!" I screamed as I tried to out run the villagers with pitch forks and throwing stars. I just kept running not knowing where I was going until I heard a cheering.

"HA! That monster will surely die in that forest!"

"Yes! No SANE person or even ninja would even dare to venture into that forest."

I kept ignoring those nasty comments knowing that then were referring to the monster sealed inside my tummy. I also knew that the mean the forest I was in was Training Ground 44: The Forest of Death. This forest was created by the Shodaime (first) Hokage, Senji Hashirama, the only known person to naturally develop the abilities to summon and control plants at will. I was told that he and alongside his friend/rival Uchiha Madara created the ENTIRE Konohagakure area being the first HiddenNinjaVillage. I was also told that the Rikudou Sennin (Sage of Six Paths) who had the legendary Rinnengan was the first person to learn how to use, wield and control Chakra (but enough with the history lesson and lets get back to Naruto). I was told around the age that I was moved out of the orphanage about the monster that was sealed.

~Flash Back~

"Ne, Ojii-San(Grandpa/Old Man), why do people not like me?"

I asked almost to tears from the small hospital bed at Konoha's Hospital. I was only 2 at the time but I was still able to conjugate full sentences, I am after all far more intelligent than anybody thought I was.

"I am not sure if you are ready to hear this but, you must keep this secret to yourself, okay Naru-Chan?" (Okay you know the sandaime(third) knows that Naruto's a girl but the suffix "-chan" can also be use for small children of either gender).

"Okay Jiji (same as Ojii-san) I promise and I won't break my promise." I stated with a huge grin that is shown to only ojii-san, Teuchi-ji-san (ramen man) and Ayame-nee-san (ramen man's daughter) to everyone else I was practically mute because I was so shy.

"Well, you know the story about the Kyuubi no Kitsune right?"(I nodded)", well that isn't the full story of it,"(tilted my head adorably)" you see bijuus (tailed beasts) are made of pure chakra, so they can't be killed. But they can be sealed. The yondaime (forth) had made a very difficult decision. He decided that he would seal the Kyuubi no Kitsune in a small child. Sadly though the child had just been born the very day the beast attacked so he used her to become the Jinchuuriki. The seal he used the "Shiki Fuin" came with a price, it summons the shinigami and take away the life of the user. Now, when is your birthday?"

"October 10," I replied my spirits dulling by the second.

"Good, now when was the Kyuubi attack?" He asked me, but I knew where this was going.

"October 10," I answered, then asked, " wait! But you said he used HER to become the jinchuuriki, you were implying that the child was a girl, but I'm a boy."

"No your not," He sighed "Right after the attack when I brought you back to the tower I had casted a high level genjustu on you to back sure you looked like a boy, you know a boy orphan is safer than a girl."

I bit my bottom lip to avoid from crying, I wanted to deny the claims but I knew they were true, I knew Ojii-san would never lie to me just to prank me.

"C-Can I see what I l-look like then?" I asked nervously.

"Of course you can AkiKaze-Chan," He replied while slowly do some hand signs to be sure I can see.

"I-Is that my name?" Only to receive a slight nodded as an answer. As the old hokage finished the last hand sign a bright light engulfed me, I became even smaller than I was now (which was amazing considering how tiny I already was)and my hair grew to cascade down my back like millions of tiny waterfalls and my eyes changed from the abyss of sapphires to a gleaming gold color.

"Ho-How do I l-look? Ojii-San?" I asked only to see him smiling largely.

"Why don't you see for yourself?" he said as he escorted me to the bathroom and allow me to see myself.
