Chapter 2
Two Years later,
The Sandaime Hokage could be seen sitting behind the Hokage's desk deep in thought about something.
'This was the sixth attempt on young Naruto's life.' thought the Sandaime.
Somehow last night a mercenary was able to infiltrate Kushina's apartment and tried to kill the blond boy. It was only due to the earth and wind element Naruto could use subconsciously to defend himself that the would be killer was killed himself.
'How foolish the citizens of Konoha have become' thought the Sandaime. He still remembered the time when Naruto's status as the jinchuriki of the Kyubi was revealed.
Flashback(2 years ago):
The Sandaime Hokage was standing on the roof of Hokage Tower wearing his robes and holding Naruto close to him. All the villagers had gathered below the Hokage Tower.
"Citizens of Konoha today is the day of great sadness for today many of our family members have died. Our beloved Yondaime Hokage sacrificed his life too..." stated the Hokage.
The crowd could be seen mourning and crying for their deceased families.
"But..." continued the Hokage.
"The will of fire still burns in us"
He held Naruto above his head and.
"Minato sacrificed himself to seal the Kyubi in his own son and passed down his will of fire to Naruto."
"I present you Naruto Namikaze, the one who holds the Kyubi from causing more destruction."
There was silence for some time and then the whispers began.
"Its the Kyubi." shouted someone. "He killed our Yondaime."
"Kill it before it can kill anybody else." were all the proclamations done by the villagers. Someone even was foolish enough to throw a stone towards Naruto. Sandaime instantly ordered his ANBUs to surround him and he disappeared to the Hokage Tower.
Flashback End.
What a difficult life you have to live Naruto...sighed the Hokage.
Meanwhile, At Konoha Hospital:
A young blonde boy could be seen standing near a woman with long red hair as the women was talking to a medic. Although every people present was looking towards the boy with fear and hate, the boy didn't show any ounce of emotion towards them.
"Yes, Kushina Sama, Natsuko hime is going to be a normal fine child in few months." stated the medic ninja.
But she can't even walk properly and look at Naruto." Said Kushina and looked towards Naruto.
"Don't worry Kushina Sama she was born fragile but she would become strong with time."
"Hmm... I hope so." Said Kushina while holding a girl in her arms who had red hair like her. The girl was trying to touch Naruto's hair and was giggling like crazy.
Kushina bid the medic goodbye and went towards the exit with Naruto following behind. As soon as they crossed the hospital boundary a man dashed towards them, more specifically towards Naruto.
"Die demon." shouted the man as he made a vertical slash with his sword towards Naruto. Within blink of an eye a stone slab bulged out from the ground and blocked the sword. The man didn't even get the time to contemplate as a blade of wind rushed him and completely cleaved his head from his body. Kushina could only watch in horror as the man's blood splashed all over her and Natsuko. Kushina looked towards Naruto only to see him not even fazed by the brutal killing of the man. She was broken out of her thoughts as Natsuko started crying. She quickly took Naruto and shunshined to her house with the thought of informing Sarutobi about the incident.
Same Night,
Naruto was sitting on his window looking towards the moon. He never had the luxury of sleeping with his mother. Neither his mother coddled him like many kids he saw being coddled by their parents. He sighed and went to his bed. Meanwhile Kushina looked towards Natsuko sleeping in her bed while thinking about all the assassination attempts on Naruto and their affect on Natsuko. She remember one time a assassin even tried to kill both Narsuko and Naruto with a wide area jutsu while both of them were together.
'No. This can't go on forever.' with that thought Kushina went to bed too.
Timeskip: For years after Kyubi attack
Hokage Tower,
"What are you saying Kushina? Don't you have a heart? How can you do this?" asked the Hokage with disbelief.
"Don't you say that Sarutobi jiji. It tears my heart to do so but it must be done." Cried out Kushina.
"But you can't abandon Naruto." insisted the Hokage.
"I know but I don't want Natsuko to suffer too."
"And Naruto has his protection against assassins but what about Natsuko. What if she is killed by someone who wishes to harm Naruto?" said Kushina.
The Hokage was silent for some time.
"All right but what do you want me to do?" asked the Hokage.
"Protect him till he becomes a ninja. Take him under your wing." said Kushina.
The Hokage turned his back to Kushina and said," Ok it shall be done. Now leave." He looked towards the Hokage Mountains more specifically towards Minato's face.
Hokage Mountains,
Naruto was standing on his father's head when Kushina approached him. Naruto had already sensed her so turned towards her.
"What happened mother?" asked Naruto seeing that his mother was crying.
"Naruto I love you son. You know that...don't you?" stated Kushina.
"Of course mother." Was Naruto's reply devoid of any emotion.
Hearing such an emotionless answer more tears began to flow from her eyes.
"Naruto...you can't stay with me and your sister anymore." said Kushina.
Naruto remained silent for some time at last said, "Can i know the reason mother?"
"I know you have to face the villager's hate and fear due to the Kyubi...I don't want Natsuko to suffer the same fate." cried out Kushina
Naruto stared at his mother with cold blue eyes and answered, "I shall do as you wish...mother."
"But where would I stay then?"
Kushina opened her mouth to answer but the Sandaime appeared and spoke, "You would be staying with me till you become a genin."
Naruto gave a curt nod and said, "Hai Hokage sama."
"Shall I get my things now?" asked Naruto looking towards Kushina.
"No need a genin team is already delivering your things to the Hokage mansion." said the Hokage
Naruto gave a nod , looked towards his mother and started walking away with the Sandaime following behind. Kushina continued crying and said, "I am sorry... Minato"
