New

By the time Kushina's funeral came round the whole village new about her death and that her new born Naruto is the Demon Lord. The fourth held his son with his half brother at his side, along with friend and student Kakashi. Minato sang Adieu softly as Kushina was buried. The Third paid his respects like everyone else and like everyone else was stunned to see Kyuubi sitting near by. A few days later three boys and a nine tailed fox walked through the village to the main gate to see off his brother.

"Good bye my little nephew I will see you again as soon as I can don't forget me little one. See ya Minato, here take your son before I steal him."

"Yeah thanks, I want to keep my son. You can borrow him though, only when you're here." the Fourth added smiling. Kaien patted his brothers head like they were children again, they grinned even Naruto, even waved to Kyu. The headmaster turned to leave and was stopped by whining.

"Calm down Naruto he'll be back, calm your self child." said Minato to a fussy blonde.

"That's right young one I promise I'll be back when I can get a way from my job. Take care of him you two." the twin father and son waved goodbye to their only family while the crimson fox huffed.

For next five years the Fourth was the best, busy single parent could be for his son. He kept a extra play pen and crib in his office when Naruto was a baby/toddler. He now has a bed roll next his desk and some toys. Kyuubi helped by keeping Naruto busy, doing everything so Minato could finish his work. Well everything except diaper changing, he left those beautiful memories to his father. He remains worried how people will act around Naruto when he's alone. He asked Kyuubi not to come out to much, so the village could get used to Naruto being the new Demon Lord. There are people whom of which were uneasy with such a young Demon Lord, there was another from the Sand but it was heard that he badly injured several people that came across him. They saw that Naruto was a happy child so the thought of him as dangerous was disregarded. But others still feared him like some ninjas but would never say anything to their Hokage.

"Daddy why cant I stay in you office like always." Naruto asked while being carried on Kyu's back.

"Because it is a very important business meeting with Sand's Kazekage which means I cant have a little blonde blur running around the room. I'm leaving you with a fri-"

"Is it Kakashi?"

"Why do you always want hang out with that imp. He's to lazy, you hang around him any more and you'll catch it from him."

"Ah no he's on a mission, it's Inoichi Yamanaka. He's gonna watch you, be nice he has a little girl that a year younger than you. Here we are."

"I'm always good." he said as his father waved to an on coming blonde ninja.

"You are always nice, you still need work on 'good you' little trickster." Inoichi stood next to them.

"But, but that Kyu's fault. I was trying to make people smile." Naruto pouted making the adults human and fox alike laugh.

"All you gotta do is be your self and not do what Kyuubi says so much. I know he can hear me. I have to go before I'm late, see you later Naruto." said the fourth kissing his sons forehead then using flash step to get to his meeting on time.

"I resent that remark, Minato!" Kyu yelled. Naruto looked at Inoichi with a smile and held out his hand introducing himself after sliding off Kyu's back.

"I'm Naruto Namikaze nice to meet you. You probably already know Kyuubi." the pony tailed blonde was surprised to see such a polite child now a days.

"Inoichi Yamanaka it's nice to meet you as well. Yes I…met him before you were born with your mother." Inoichi nodded at the Demon who nodded back. "Lets go inside so I can introduce you to my daughter. Oh try not to scare my daughter." he responded shaking Naruto's small hand looking the fox. He shrunk his size to one of a pup and reduced his tails to one. The three males walked in to the Yamanaka residence hearing a child's voice.

"Daddy, daddy…who's he?" asked a short haired blonde girl who ran in hugging her fathers legs not noticing Kyu hiding behind Naruto.

"This is Minato's son Naruto, Naruto this is my daughter Ino." Naruto gave a world class smile to Ino who simply waved. He saw that Kyu didn't want to be seen which was funny to the blonde ninja.

"Daddy is Sakura still coming over?"

"Yes, I believe so. Go play with Naruto in the back yard till Sakura gets here then all of you can play together."

"Okay daddy. It's this way Naruto." Naruto began to follow Ino till he stopped.

"Thank you for letting me stay here sir. I promise to be really good." he bowed then took off after Ino with a small fox padding after them. 'What a kid you got Minato, what a kid.'

Naruto got the feeling that Ino didn't like him much because when Sakura got there he was practically pushed away. Kyu came out of hiding and sat on Naruto's lap as a small bit of comfort. So the poor boy sat near the flower bushes and stared at them then would look over at the girls occasionally. They heard the girls give a loud 'Awww' so they turned around to investigate. A strange dog wandered in to the yard, Naruto remember hearing about a stray running around biting people they haven't caught it yet for it was to fast. The girls neared the dog and it growled scaring them forcing them to back up. The dog barked and snapped at them making them cry. Naruto ran over putting himself in front of the crying girls. The dog foamed at the mouth snarling advancing toward them. Sakura and Ino grabbed the back of Naruto's shirt, his eyes bled red while staring the crazed dog down. Kyu grew in size snapping and snarling viciously. The foxes powerful muscles coiled as he crouched in front of his Lord ready to attack the mad dog.

"Your not coming any closer to them mutt!" Naruto yelled protectively. Inoichi ran to the back of his house hearing the Fourth's boy yell and was astounded by what he saw.

"Back off now!" The crimson eyed boy's voice carried so much authority and gave off a negative aura that was nothing like the bijuu. The dog immediately backed far off whimpering then laid down. Inoichi took this chance and used ninja wire to tie up the dog. The man watched Naruto's eyes changed back then said, "thank you for saving my little girl and Sakura. You're a hero, so much so that you'll surpass your father as a ninja one day."

"Hmph!"

"You to Kyuubi to be fair I thought you only protecting him."

"See what happens when you think Inoichi." Kyu smirked.

"Yeah Naruto you two saved us!" said Sakura as Ino carefully petted the normal(foal) sized fox who obliged to both girls.

"You to are the best! You're my big brother now Naruto. It's a life time job right daddy." Ino exclaimed, both girls gave him a big hug.

"No fair I want Naruto as my big brother."

"Your right princess and why don't you share him?" Naruto had a worried expression over the sudden demands.

"Great idea daddy." both girls clung to the young boy's arms.

"Promise to keep your new sisters safe."

"With my life!" Naruto grinned happily all ways wanting siblings. The children where glued together after that. Minato couldn't be happier his son had made new friends so fast.

"Dad how did that meeting go with the Kazekage?" Naruto chirped when they got home.

"Real good. The Kazekage has his own son your age along with an older son and daughter. They're gonna stop by in seven weeks, right around the time their school breaks for a weeks vacation. Though I heard the young son is a Demon Lord as well, his life has been pretty rough because the Sand village is uneasy around him."

"Why dad? People eventually warmed up to me." Minato looked startled, "Yea, I could tell the villagers didn't trust me right away because of Kyu." The blonde man coughed in his hand, "ok, well Shikaku is more violent then the rest of the Demons. Kyuubi would be able tell you if you asked him better then I. From what the Kazekage told me when he found out about your mother, Shikaku's sprit chose Gaara the month of his birth. Unfortunately when the boy was born Shikaku killed Gaara's mother." the Fourth said solemnly, "anyway go on to bed, son you two had an exciting day from what I heard."

"Ok daddy." Naruto got his hugs and kisses from his father before going to his room. Naruto gazed around his bright orange room to sit on his orange clad bed.

Can you tell me about Shikaku, Kyu.

Shikaku's always been violent. I wonder if he let that poor boy sleep.

What do you mean?

Shikaku loves to take over his hosts especially children. If the host, Gaara doesn't believe in himself and come to terms with Shikaku at an early age it will be harder for him later on. Well get to sleep kit I'll stay in your mind scape tonight, good night.

Good night Kyu.
