Naruto (Earlier this Year/Late 2013)

The Stolen Bijuu

Prologue: Theft

When the Kyūbi attacked Konoha it was defeated by the sacrifice of the Sandaime Hokage. Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Namikaze however survived that fateful night and had raised their new son Naruto the Kyūbi Jinchūriki the way he was supposed to be raised, at least that was the original plan. On the Twenty-Seventh of December the year after the Kyūbi's defeat the Leaf suffered a massive blow to it morale. That Night Nine children were stolen from Konoha. Their names are Naruto Namikaze, Hinata Hyūga, Sai, Yakumo Kurama, Chōji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, Shikamaru Nara, Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka. All but one of them were clan heirs, all of them were stolen from some of the most highly guarded locations in Konoha. All of them were stolen by the ROOT division lead by Danzo Shimura, the Cripple Traitor of Konoha.

On the night of the theft, Danzo and his ROOT disappeared from Konoha, leaving the Uchiha clan with all the bad will and suspicion from the kidnappings. However the reasonable voice of the Yondaime Hokage pointed out the possibility of the Uchiha being Framed and the Village accepted this to Danzo's and Obito's disgust. Danzo fled Konoha claiming bad health and a desire to retire to The Land of Waves (Nami). ROOT left Konoha with him, Jiraiya was given the extra task of keeping an eye on Danzo while he lives out his life in Nami.

Naruto had never known anything but the four white walls, the three doors one that lead out of the room and one to the bathroom and the last to an empty room with Gym equipment and a sandbox for them to play in, the Bookshelf, the two beds and most importantly Hinata who was in the room with him. While they had been taught by the emotionless ROOT agents how to speak Naruto and Hinata had developed their own private language due to their constant companionship, this language eluded the ROOT agents and even Danzo could not understand it. But to be fair he couldn't understand any of the private languages created by the eight pairs of children he had kidnapped from all over the Elemental Nations.

Today however was a big day for the first time in their lives they were going to meet the other pairs that they had been told about by their nursemaids and teachers. They went out the door they never got to go through into a corridor, they travelled for several minutes until they came to a large open area that had grass and an open roof. Hinata and Naruto were the first to arrive and so voiced their amazement at seeing the sky and the sun for the first time in their lives that they could remember.

"I wonder how high up those white things are?" Naruto asks in their private language.

"I think they are called clouds, and I think they are very high up" Hinata replies in the same language.

They turn around as they hear strange voices and see a red-headed boy with a brown haired girl walk in. The two talk in their private language for a short while before walking up and introducing themselves to Naruto and Hinata.

I turns out the boy's name is Gaara and the girl is Matsuri, they talk for several minutes as more and more of the pairs show up. Of the pairs there is the calm and collected Yugito and the slightly hyper Kiba, The emotionless and insulting Sai and the bubbly Isaribi (A/N Isaribi hasn't been tormented which is why she is bubbly and slightly hyper, Sai is just emotionless by nature AKA I'm too lazy to come up with a better personality), The Bossy Ino and the slightly chubby Chōji, The Cold Samui and the pessimistic Omoi, The Lazy Shikamaru and the creative Yakumo, The Stoic Shino and Friendly Fuu. To the rest Naruto and Hinata were seen almost as rulers, The Calm but Hyper Naruto and the Regal but Friendly Hinata. Danzo watches in amazement as Naruto and Hinata effortlessly take command over the other pairs, then he smiles as he realizes that leading and ruling are in their blood and they were born for this role.

Danzo watches over the course of the next few months as the relationships between the pairs vary, Gaara and Matsuri are cold and aloof to all but Hinata and Naruto, Yugito and Kiba are friendly to everyone and are always willing to play, Sai and Isaribi enjoy each other's company over the rest but still listen to Naruto and Hinata, Chōji and Ino enjoy socializing and playing with the others, Shikamaru and Yakumo prefer their private hobbies of Cloud-watching and Painting respectively, Shino and Fuu seem to be more interested in the bugs that they can find in the grass over playing, but they still join in the games. Naruto and Hinata however are unique among the pairs, They join in the games but also can talk to all the pairs without being ignored or told to go away, They act as the judges should any of the pairs have a problem with another pair. If the two in a pair have a problem with each other they sort it out on their own. Due to their nature of ruling over the others Sai took to calling them the Daimyo Pair, which stuck and was what Danzo chose to refer to their pair as in the paperwork instead of 9-Tail Pair.

Five Years after the kidnapping and six months after the pairs met each other Danzo decided to activate the second stage of his plans, he had managed to abduct ever Jinchūriki and Bijuu except for the Hachibi, and in fact three of the children are Jinchūriki. Danzo's plan was simple, he sedated the pairs and laid them out on special alters in the grassy area, he then brought out the bound and drained Jinchūriki and began the ceremony to convert all of the pairs into Jinchūriki pairs. In hindsight Danzo's plan was doomed to fail, but you know what they say about Hindsight.

Danzo plan worked brilliantly, except for one major fault! Instead of turning the children into paired Jinchūriki he instead turned them into the next generation of Bijuu. Of course Danzo only had a few seconds to curse fate before the demonic Youkai of the new Bijuu vaporized all the humans in the base with Danzo being one of the first to disintegrate under the power.

In Kumo Killer Bee could sense what had happened and told the Raikage, unfortunately (Or fortunately) he couldn't detect where this had happened, In response the Raikage order all patrols to be on the lookout.

It was almost a month before the new Bijuu finished regenerating and when they did they looked around to see what happened. The Bijuu had been split in two, but while they were supposed to be half as strong as the original somehow they had ended up just as strong as the original. The Pairs all noticed not only the tails they now had but the extra knowledge granted to them by becoming Bijuu. Gaara and Matsuri had Tanuki features like ears and markings around their eyes and a single tail, Yugito and Kiba had Cat features and two tails, Sai and Isaribi had three tails and webbed hands, Ino and Chōji had slightly ape-like features and four tails, Samui and Omoi looked like a mix between a dolphin and a horse and had five tails, Shikamaru and Yakumo had a slight sheen to their skin and had six slug-like tails, Shino and Fuu had compound eyes like an insect and had insect-like carapaces over their torsos, waists, legs and arms with only their heads uncovered, they had one tail but six vibrant insect wings. Lastly Naruto and Hinata had grown a foot and at 4'10" they towered over the rest of the three foot tall six year olds, they had fox ears but Naruto's had golden fur and Hinata's had Lavender fur that faded into Violet near the base, their eyes now had slit pupils, but Hinata's were only noticeable when she was angry or using her Byakugan, their arms and legs had fur on them the same color as their ears and their fingers ended in claws that looked extremely sharp, Both Naruto and Hinata had nine tails with fur colored the same as their ears, arms and legs. Eventually Hinata raised the question "What do we do now? Where do we go?"

However they were surprised when a voice said "You could come with me", the children looked up to see a man with black hair and a rope around his head. Without any other option they shrug and then all jump up to him to his surprise he looks at them and says "My name is Kaiza and I'll look after you" And so he did, Kaiza taught the children about the world as he travelled. Two years later they returned to Nami, and Kaiza stopped the dam breaking with the help of Sai and Isaribi. The Bijuu were welcomed in Nami as heroes and for two more years they lived happily in a cave outside of the village until… Gato arrived.

For eight months Gato kept his hand hidden, but the Bijuu able to sense the malice rolling off the man, hid from his patrols and kept themselves scarce lest they be taken and used by his men. Several hundred of his thugs found out the hard way that attacking the Bijuu females lead only to death. Even still the children kept quiet and were happy until Gato executed Kaiza. No matter how much power they had they couldn't use it in the village for fear of the civilians and so they were forced to watch Kaiza's death. As Kaiza drew his last breath he saw the Bijuu watching with tears in their eyes, he knew why they couldn't interfere and didn't blame them at all, he stared them in the eyes and nodded in respect.

While the Bijuu had lived their lives in peace Konoha shattered over their kidnappings had a problem, only one of their clans had a heir. So in a unanimous decision all the clan heads tried for children and got them a year after the Kidnapping. Minato and Kushina smiled as they had a baby daughter whom they called Mito in honor of Mito Uzumaki. Hiashi and his wife Hisana had a daughter named Hanabi, Shikaku and Yoshino had a daughter they called Satsuki, Tsume and an unknown lover (Rumored to be Ibiki) had a daughter called Kira, Chōza and Yuma his wife had a daughter named Chiaki, Inoichi and Kimika had another daughter named Katsuki, Shibi and Hitomi had a daughter they named Shira. Their children all managed to graduate the Academy early with the Genin teams being, Team Kakashi: Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Mito Uzumaki, Team Kurenai: Kira Inuzuka, Shira Aburame and Hanabi Hyūga and Team Asuma: Satsuki Nara, Chiaki Akimichi and Katsuki Yamanaka.

Eventually after weeks of nagging the teams would all be going on a C-Rank together, Tazuna was surprised but happy to see three teams and two ANBU Tenzo and Yugao assigned to his mission, Minato's grin however told him that they saw through his lies but were giving him the Ninja required and then some.

Kakashi, Kurenai, Asuma, Tenzo and Yugao were cautious of this mission and especially with the heirs to Konoha all being on the mission, they travelled at a civilian's pace answering questions and keeping an eye out when suddenly.

The group came to a stop when two missing Nin ran towards them attempting to attack, the Genin got into combat positions and were about to launch a counterattack when suddenly the two stopped and vomited up blood due to the arm going through their chest. Behind the two were two figures in cloaks, the most distinguishing thing about them being the nine tails they both had. The Jounins and ANBU were trying to figure out what was going on when Tazuna suddenly says "So you did survive, but why are you here?"

The figure on the left with Golden Tails replies "Gato got anxious and hired a missing Nin to attack you, Tazuna-Jiji, you are the father of the one Kaiza loved and are therefore family to us as well, we would have stopped the execution but our powers are far too great to be contained and many innocent civilians would have died in the crossfire. We will make it up to Kaiza's spirit by protecting you and your family where we can. I Naruto the Yang Kyūbi, swear this"

The other figure then continues with "I Hinata the Yin Kyūbi, swear this"

A group of other figures jump out from the brush and they start with

"I Shino the Yang Shicibi, swear this"

"I Fuu the Yin Shicibi, swear this"

"I Shikamaru the Yang Rokubi, swear this"

"I Yakumo the Yin Rokubi, swear this"

"I Omoi the Yang Gobi, swear this"

"I Samui the Yin Gobi, swear this"

"I Chōji the Yang Yonbi, swear this"

"I Ino the Yin Yonbi, swear this"

"I Sai the Yang Sanbi, swear this"

"I Isaribi the Yin Sanbi, swear this"

"I Kiba the Yang Nibi, swear this"

"I Yugito the Yin Nibi, swear this"

Naruto speaks up again "For my absent comrade Gaara the Yang Ichibi, I swear"

Hinata then says "For Matsuri the Yin Ichibi, I swear"

Then all of the figures say in unison "On the spirits of our predecessors and the hope of seeing our families, we the Stolen Bijuu swear"

Tazuna opens his mouth to ask something and Naruto deftly interjects with "When we were children we were taken from our families and raised by monsters who wished to make ultimate weapons. One day we will find our way back to our families, but for now we must help you, for the spirit of Kaiza demands it, should we break this vow then we must never return to villages from whence we came."

Hinata nods and says "We could never walk through the gates of Konohagakure with such shame"

Samui and Omoi continue with "Or Kumogakure and Sunagakure"

Naruto nods and then says "That is why we didn't join you in Konoha, we haven't earned the right to return home"

Tazuna and the Konoha Ninja were stunned and then Hanabi asks "Do you have last names? Because I didn't hear you say any"

Naruto nods and says "We do, I am Naruto Namikaze"

"Hinata Hyūga"

"Shino Aburame"

"Fuu"

"Shikamaru Nara"

"Yakumo Kurama"

"Samui"

"Omoi"

"Chōji Akimichi"

"Ino Yamanaka"

"Sai"

"Isaribi"

"Yugito Nii"

"Kiba Inuzuka"

Naruto smiles at the awestruck Konoha Shinobi and says "We know who we are, we just aren't ready to return to Konoha yet"
