Unfortunately I don't have rights to the Naruto series, I'm only using the characters. Please support the official release :)

Chapter One ~~~ Secrets Revealed

Jumping to his feet, Naruto couldn't believe what he was seeing. "Wh- who are you?" He muttered under the heavy stare of the giant fire-filled eyes.

"How amusing," It snickered. "I am that which mortals fear, great unrivaled in power. I am the great Kyuubi no Yoko, at your service." His voice boomed laced with an unsettling sarcasm. "Wa..wait, You're dead. The fourth Hokage killed you!" Kyuubi chuckled but continued.

" No, little human. Your kage couldn't kill me for the best he could do was seal me within a container; you." His lips bent up into a smile, he could sensing the boy's confusion, frustration and fear.

"Why me?" Naruto whispered to himself. "Why me?" He shouted at Kyuubi, at the world.

"Would you ask anyone to give up their child? Know this, he did the honorable thing and used his own son!" Kyuubi said but realized it too late for it wasn't something he could un-say. He watched as the boy crumbled to the ground as this now exposed knowledge flooded the boy's mind shocking him, angering him and betraying him. All Naruto could do was cry. No time passes within a person's mind-scape but for the Kyuubi these last few moments had lasted all too long. If this is Naruto's reaction to the unveiling of his father's identity, then Kami help him for when it comes time for truth to be told and his parents' wishes to finally be spoken. The lack of sobbing startled Kyuubi, Naruto had finally stopped. "Before you say anything, know this your father did this for your own good, you cannot fathom it now but there will be a day when you can. Now! Sit and listen, I have much to say." For hours it seemed the Kyuubi spoke of Naruto's parents and everything they'd wished for him, even explaining the lore behind his mother's clan; the Uzumaki. Naruto listened captivated by the truths the Kyuubi spoke of. Secretly enjoying the memories of his parents more than anything, it brought about waves of happiness knowing what they were like. Finally finding his voice, he looked up,

"So what do I do now? You said I'd have to keep it a secret or my parent's enemies will come looking for me but you also said if people knew they wouldn't treat me differently! I can't stand it, can't you see what everyone does to me?" Naruto's mind-scape began to warp around him as his anger rose. The walls began to warp and started crash together becoming one solid mass. The Kyuubi reeled back as the sealing gate moved toward him. "Why? Tell me why." He demanded.

"Do you think that squashing me in this infernal prison will get you your answers kit?" The Kyuubi question struck Naruto and the room diverted to original form. Truth be told the Kyuubi had become mildly terrified of the child's power so he noted to himself 'Firstly always tell him the bad news last and secondly never underestimate him'. "Go ahead, tell everyone. Be a leech. Tell everyone how great your parents are it will get you very far but you'll be just another hero's child basking in their parent's legends and glory instead of seeking their own." The fox smiled to himself as he watched the child contemplate what he'd said."Don't you want to be a hero? Or will you be content being nothing more than scum feeding on the glories that are not your own." He sat back onto his haunches, knowing he had won this battle.

Naruto finally understanding realized that he'd been so focused on what he wanted that he forgot himself along the way. "Yea...Yeah I guess you're right. Ever since I got here I've been-"

"Possessed with emotion?" The Kyuubi injected "As is everyone upon first meeting, my chakra is influencing you, you'll get used to it but for now learn to control your emotions. There's a world waiting out there waiting your return, go but a word of advice never try to squash me again." With that the walls fell dark and Naruto's vision faded.

~~Earlier that Night~~

Hiashi sat at his desk in his study going over the clan's expense reports when a soft knock came from his door. Knowing only one who would be so hesitant he set aside scrolls and straightened the documents. Finally finished Hiashi took a long deep breath before looking towards the door, "You may enter, Daughter." A small squeal came from the other side of the door in response to her acknowledgement.

"Excuse me father, I'm coming in." She stumble on her words, making her way to one of the chairs laid before her father's desk. "Father I wish for Naruto-kun to..." As she spoke her cheeks to burn a bright pink. Seeing his daughter struggle with what was a very obvious request, he had already drawn the paperwork for it but waited until his daughter came to him. Looking inwardly Hiashi smiled, Hinata looked so much of her mother for she too had been shy about her approach but daughter seemed to suffer it. Hiashi reached into an open drawer and pulled a scroll out and placed it at the edge of the desk. "All that needs to be done have Hokage-sama approval seeing as he is Naruto-san's acting guardian. The meeting will be held tomorrow, do you wish to come with me?" She nodded her replay as her cheeks burned even brighter now a crimson as the implications were made too apparent. Then without any indication she jumped up and ran to Hiashi's side and gave him a hug. "Thank you so much father. Thank you." Tears of joy began to well up in her eyes as she looked to her father with a smile. Hiashi gave a slight smile reassuring his daughter. Rarely did he show any sign of true affection but in a case like this it was acceptable. Hiashi dismissed Hinata to her room for the night. He returned to his work, an hour passed he looked to the clock he deemed it time to retire for the night. Standing up he made his way to the door only looking back to a now organized desk. Opening the door he stepped out into the now empty halls of the Hyuga compound. Every night was the same around this time, with the only the chirping of the grasshoppers to keep him company he decided to check on his daughters before he him himself turned in for the night. Stopping first at Hanabi's room where he found her sleeping contently then to Hinata's room and his heart stopped, she was not in her room. He burst into the next room here Naruto stayed he found yet again not a trace of life. Thoughts began to flood Hiashi's head as did sheer amount of adrenalin that started to poor into his blood stream. Both Naruto and Hinata were gone.

The Hokage's office had turned into a madhouse between Haishi constant pacing and panicing and the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen ordering the Ambu to assemble and Jonin to gather a search party. In ten minutes three Ninja appeared before Hiruzen, one with gravity defying silver hair, another in a mono-colored skin tight suit topped with a bowl cut style black hairstyle, while the last, an older man with a large scars across his face. Each stood at attention awaiting orders the first two waited in all seriousness while the last wore bored expression. Turning to face these jonin, Sarutobi let out a long sigh as he looked on to these three. "We have an emergency on our hands, you three are being assigned the mission of locating a Hyuga Hinata and an Uzuaki Naruto. Both disappeared from the Hyuga compound at some time in the last hour. Estimated direction of travel, the Kumo borders". Everyone visibly tensed at the mention of Kumo due to past conflicts and the previous attempted kidnapping of Hinata. "Now go, reinforcement will be sent as soon as ninja become available, Dismissed!" All three disappeared in a blur through an open window. Hiashi watched as they left, only taking note of the sudden change of expression of the third ninja for it had taken a dramatic change from what it was before. What was a bored expression before had become a look of pure burning rage promising no mercy to those the anger was directed towards. "Hokage-sama I understand sending Kakashi-san and Guy-san, but I must ask who was the third you sent with them"?

"Hiashi I understand the concern behind this mission but rest assured that he is one shinobi that I can truly say I trust". Taking a drag from his pipe, Hiruzen walked over to the window overlooking the entire village. "What I'm about to tell you must never leave this room, am I clear Hiashi"? Hiruzen placed one hand into a seal thus activating privacy seals all over the room preventing anyone outside from listening. "The shinobi I sent with those two is the head ambu captain who serves directly under myself. Rarely does he show his own face, although this is a special case where two valuable members of Kahona are in danger of being lost. For now I advise you to just relax and wait for their return with both children".

~~~In The Hour Hiashi Was Working~~~

Having just finished bathing, Hinata made her way through the hall until she found her room. Stepping inside there was a sudden rush of brisk cool air as if someone had left a window open. Thinking nothing of it she began her nightly ritual. Slipping into a simple yet elegant mono color nightgown, Hinata began to brush out her hair when suddenly a loud noise came from the next room over. Dropping the brush she ran out of her room in a hurry and burst through the neighboring door. Inside there were two bodies, both of which were hovering over Naruto's sleeping figure. One had their hands covering Naruto's mouth preventing him from yelling out. Gasping slightly at the sight, Hinata then realized her mistake and started backing away, but to no avail as one of the figures turned and leaped behind her. The last thing Hinata saw was Naruto looking in fear, in her direction before her vision cut out. The figure picked up Hinata ant look to see his accomplice slinging an unconscious Naruto over their shoulder. Both then took their respective child and jumped through the open window into the night, unseen by the guards posted around the clan compound.

~~~With Naruto and Hinata~~~

Naruto awoke with a start as a voice called to him from inside his head. 'Naruto...Wake up right now, you've been taken along with that girl from before'. Opening one eye, Naruto took a look around his surroundings. The room was dimly lit with relight-able torches which had evidently seen many uses. Littered around the room were crates of varying sizes most likely storing supplies. Far over on his right was a closed door, the only one visible inside. Sitting next to Naruto, tied with the same rope was Hinata who was unconscious. Testing the strength of the rope he found no give in the knot. 'Now what do I do, the rope isn't like what the villagers use so I can't force my way out. Then I have to get me and Hinata out of here'. Looking back to the door he sighed ' It looks like that may be the only way out of here'.

'Your correct in that assumption, only one way in and one way out. Listen do exactly a I say the way I say it and you may just make it out of this alive'.

'Only if we can get BOTH of us out of here'. Looking to Hinata's form, he thought back to the first time he had met her years ago.

~~~Flash Back~~~

The academy had just gotten out for the day and a much younger Naruto sat alone in the school yard. Alone on a solitary swing hung from a neighboring tree, he swung gently back and forth. Earlier in the day he had been teased for failing the test on previous kage of the Hidden Leaf. Now he sat awaiting the beginning of the Dinner rush so he could run over to Ichiraku's stand. A shout broke Naruto out of his thoughts. Springing up off the swing, Naruto ran out of the school yard and to the right down the street was a group of people. Figuring that might have been where the voice came from he made his way over to them. Each step took Naruto closer to the group, and closer to whoever cried out. On the ground a young girl came into view. She was curled up into a ball as three older boys stood over her yelling.

"Are you just as stuck up like the rest of your family? Why don't you apologies already"? Cocking back his fist in a threatening manner he continued pressuring the girl.

Letting his nerves get the better of him, Naruto ran and jumped in between the grop of boys and the girl."Hey teme why don't leave her alone she didn't do anything wrong." shifting into a stance, Naruto was prepared to defend this girl he didn't even know.

"Hey guys look, it's the dead last trying to be cool, lets teach him a lesson". All three boys launched themselves at Naruto who, tightened his muscles in preparation. The first boy who had been talking reached Naruto first and made a sloppy punch aimed at his head. Taking hold of the entire arm Naruto flipped the boy over his shoulder and looked for the next attack. Two others came and surrounded him, front and back. Both moved and punched at face level but Naruto was one step ahead and ducked under causing the two to collide with each other. Smirking at his handiwork Naruto moved toward the girl who was now starring wide eyed at him. Sticking out a hand he smiled, "Are you okay"? Even those simple words caused a blush to spread across her face as she took the hand.

"I...I'm aa..alright... Thank you...". With every word the blush on her face deepened and grew. She began to press her index fingers together and looked to one spot on the ground as if there was something really interesting there.

"Hehe good, I'm Naruto Uzumaki, whats your name? Looking curiously, Naruto couldn't understand what she was looking at. Finding nothing he looked back up. "Ano... He..Hello Naruto-kun, my n..name is Hinata Hy..". She stopped as she looked up, behind Naruto all three bullies had gotten up and were about to grab him. Reacting as fast as she could, her legs moved forward. "Naruto-kun behind you"! But it was to late as she reached out he was pulled back and thrown to the ground. The bullies began their assult on a vulnerable Naruto, unleashing punches and kicks. Before she could jump in to help a voice came from behind her, "Hinata-sama"! An older man with pale eyes and short spiky black hair came and took hold of her hand. "We must return to the compound quickly." Turning he began pulling a struggling Hinata with him. All Hinata could do was watch as her Savior was beat until the bullies left leaving him on the ground bleeding. Wriggling free of her family members grasp, Hinata ran to the injured Naruto.

"Naruto-kun, please are you alright, Say something"! Slinking down to her knees, tears began to form over her savor,'Naruto-kun just saved me but for what reason? We only just met, and... and now hes hurt because of me... I really am weak.' Something began to grow inside Hinata, it started small, but began bursting forth more and more until it had spread throughout her body. A warmth that began to comfort her, ease her of her pain and suffering. The source was a genuine smile radiating from Naruto, who had just remembered he wasn't alone.

"Hey Hinata, its ok look I'm fine really, so don't cry over me please". Widening his smile to show he was alright, Naruto began to sit up. Had this been a better moment in the future it could have been classified as romantic, but that was ripped away as The older Hyuga came back and wisked Hinata away against her will.

~~~ Jump Another Two Years~~~

Late at night the village was silent, only the bars were open this late. In the Hyuga clan's compound however, was lit up like it was mid-day. A room was just discovered empty and sent the clan into a panic. Earlier in the day the Hokage had a meeting with a Kumo ambassador drawing a treaty for peace. Hiashi assumed the worst and took a branch member with him outside the village in search of the missing heiress. Now outside the village he activated his byakugan and scanned the treeline for any residual chakra left by the perpetrator. Focusing on a hit to the west, Hiashi motioned for the branch member to follow as he charged forward. Trees flew past as he expertly weaved through the forest with ease. Only in this moment would Hiashi rush into a situation involving his family unprepared. Unknowingly he had picked up the pace leaving the branch member behind struggling to catch up, but he didn't care as he was to focused on finding his daughter.

Ahead in a clearing an unknown ninja sat against a tree keeping hold of a small child. Complexly unaware of Hiashi's approaching presences, the ninja continued to relax his aching muscles. Then down from above him, a kuni embedded itself directly into his neck killing him instantly. Hiashi jumped down and looked to the gagged form of his eldest daughter. It saddened him to see her fought over like some hot commodity waiting to be sold to the highest bidder. Since the founding of the Hyuga clan others have fought over their all seeing eyes. Now the Raikage from Kumo constantly looked for any way to secure an intact pair or even an unbranded member, even resorting to kidnapping children. Now his daughter was the target of their ninja and the family is on edge. Just then the branch member arrived and began to seal the body immediately seeing as Hiashi was away in his own world. Picking up his daughter he removed the cloth inside her mouth and leaped back towards the village.

At the village gates both older Hyuga had just arived as shouts came from the other side of the wall. A young Naruto came flying through the open gates and skidded through the dirt coming to a stop at their feet. Cursing to himself Naruto sat up and scratched the back of his head then stood up. "I didn't even do anything to you, why do you all hate me?" He shouted out in distress. Feeling eyes on his back, Naruto turned to see who was there and took a step back as he saw who was there. "Hinata-chan and... Hiashi-sama, what are you doing here"?

Setting down Hinata, Hiashi looked down at the small child and sympathized with him. Never before did he believe Naruto deserved what treatment he received. "Well Naruto-san I just recovered my daughter from a would be napper" Motioning to Hinata.

Naruto frowned at that, he didn't like the idea of losing a friend."Hinata-chan are you ok? What happened?" He continued to bombard her with questions and looking all over seeing if she was hurt.

Hinata who was on the receiving end of the questions felt her face flush which did not go unnoticed by her father, who inwardly smirked. "Ano... N..Naruto-kun I.. I'm alright, so don't w..worry about m. me ok"? Shifting nervously under his gaze, Hinata looked to the ground and blushed harder.

Having decided on no longer standing in the cold of night Hiashi spoke up. "Naruto-san if you would like to continue this conversation, then I highly suggest you accompany us to a family dinner". Naruto stood wide eyed, never before had invited him anywhere. All he could manage was a nod and followed behind as the tree entered Kahona.

~~~End Flash Back~~~

'That's right I need to get both of us out of here' With those memories fresh in his head Naruto set a plan into motion.
