AN: there will be elements from other animes however there will be no crossover characters! However, Im changing Naruto this chapter, everyone who has read this briefly will know that Draco8762 stopped writing for personal issues in his life. However he really wanted this fanfic to be out there so I took it up, however I only changed Naruto's appearance slightly. In the original he was alittle to close to looking like Inuyasha.

Now he will still look like Naruto except he will have dog ears on his head that match his hair. The reason for this will be explained in detail in later chapters but its due to an error in his seal. I hope you all enjoy it regardless of his appearance!

Summary: Naruto Uzumaki... the night he was born was a night that changed a lot of people's lives. What if Kurama was willingly sealed inside of Naruto? What if Rin raised the future hero of the hidden Leaf? A true Shinobi is born as the result.

True Love, Always Blooms Chapter 2

Wet... Water. That's the feeling Naruto has currently. He found it odd since the last thing he saw was his dad running to him and no one was spraying water on him, but he was... floating? yeah he was floating with the distant sound of a drop of water hitting a body of water along with an echo.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked around, from what he could see from the ceiling, He was in some kind of sewer. Naruto widened his eyes and sat up quickly as he looked around seeing a large room. "Where am I?" Naruto thought outloud. He turned around to see a large gate with bars that had a sealing sticker on the lock. "What the?"

Naruto froze in place when he was about to walk their when a gust of wind, or a strong breathe escaped the bars. Naruto then witnessed the room inside the bars brighten up revealing a large orange fox like creature with nine tails. The fox had his eyes closed even so, when Naruto took a step, the eye snapped open revealing a red eye with a slit in it. Naruto saw the creature stand up and compared to himself, The thing was massive. Big enough to destroy the village single handedly if it so desire.

"So, Its already time huh?" The creature said outloud getting Naruto to shake at the mere power the creature had in its voice. Naruto didnt move though, Instead he stood his ground, looking the beast in the eye. "Hello Naruto. It is good to finally meet you. My name is Kurama, I am the nine tailed fox that was sealed in you by your mother."

Naruto's eyes widened at the proclamation. He gulped as he looked at the beast, He hasnt even met the beast a minute ago and it just said something that threw Naruto for a loop. "W-what do you mean sealed by my mother?"

Kurama looked at the 7 year old and snickered. "Yes kit, Your mother. the woman that you call mom is not your real mother." Kurama said getting Naruto to look at Kurama in confusion, making him continue. "You see, Your real mother and father died, the night you were born. I wont tell you the specifics until you are ready. However, I recognize that woman you are always with... Rin Nohara. She was your father's genin student. I guess since your mother died and he was about to die, He asked her to care for you like you were her own, and well she has."

Naruto looked down, His mother... the woman that has looked out for him, fed him, played with him, clothed him... loved him... wasnt even his real mom? But then he thought about it. He wasnt mad about it, understanding the situation that she was put in. She could have rejected him, said that she could have cared for him and just left him. However she cared for him so much that she became overprotective over the boy. Naruto made a mental note to question her, She may not be his mother... But she was his mom and he loved her like a true son.

Naruto looked at Kurama, "Okay I understand. If what you say is true, She might have told me when I was older and more understanding. However she is still my mom. Just cause she is not my birth mother doesnt change my love for her any differently. But... I do wish to learn why you were sealed in me."

Kurama smiled, He liked the boy already. For being 7, He acted very mature and was naturally curious for things as he should be. Kurama noticed the whisker marks and wild longish hair. (AN: for a better image is Menma's hairstyle in the movie Naruto: Road to Ninja) Kurama could only assume that his maturity was also part of his influence from a very early age.

Kurama laid down with his head still up as he looked at the boy, "Tell me Naruto, Do you not hate me? I am the nine tailed fox demon."

Naruto looked at Kurama curiously and just shook his head. "No I dont, I have no reason too... Will you be my friend? Besides my family... I have no friends." Naruto said sadly getting the large tailed beast to look at him with sadness in his eyes.

"Yes, I will be your friend. Can you do me a favor?" Kurama asked getting Naruto to nod his head. Kurama smiled and reached around the bars and pointed to the seal paper on the cage. "Rip this off. If you do, We can talk telepathically whenever you want. Along with it, I can teach you a few things about being a shinobi."

Naruto's eyes widened and glistened with hope at what kurama said. He quickly jumped up to the spot and ripped the paper off and threw it aside as he jumped back down to the ground. Naruto discarded the seal and looked back to the beast. "When can we start training?"

Kurama started to chuckle at the boys determination. "Soon, first i need you to heal up from the fire you ran into. You are currently being carried to the hospital. You'll have to stay here for a little while but in that time... Let me teach you about Chakra natures..."

While Naruto was in his mind talking with Kurama, in the real world, Obito had just carried both Naruto and Sasuke out of the burning building. Medics were outside on standby however, they wouldnt get close as Rin was already at Naruto's side when Obito set him down.

"NARUTO!" Rin yelled as she went to her son. She crouched down and held her ear to his chest and her his breathing start to slow down. "NO! His heartbeat is weakening!" Rin said as she took off her sweater and put it underneathe Naruto's head just as the entire class ran up to them.

Medics ran to Obito and Naruto, "Sir we are here to help."

Obito pointed to the Uchiha, "Go treat him and the others, Rin and I can handle this one!" Obito said as he looked at the crowd forming, "Any idea on how this happen..."

"Ask later Obito. I need you!"

Obito switched his focus as he crouched down next to Naruto and her, "What do you need?"

Rin looked at him, and Obito immediately knew what she was going to do. He sighed as he looked into her Jinchuriki eyes. "Fine. Do it, No one will harbor any ill will towards you, You know this. Save your son." Obito said giving her permission, which in turn made her smile greatly and kissed him on the lips real quick.

"Thank you. Ill be back." Rin said as she performed a few hand signs as her red chakra started to flow from her. All the kids watched in awe, escpecially Ino who had watched Naruto run in and save the one she liked, Now she was watching his mom grow red with 3 tails.

Rin made her chakra surround Naruto and her as she focused her energy inward however she was stunned, realizing that his own chakra was fighting her off. "What the... only a jinchuriki can hold off my chakra." She said confused. She knew Naruto's nine tails would be dormant for a while but she didnt know when he would awaken but she now knows, Kurama was awoken and is protecting Naruto.

"H-how is he?" A voice called out getting Rin to look up to see Sasuke awake, but still on his back. He isnt able to move due to all the smoke inhalation. Obito looked between him and Naruto before simply sighing.

"I dont know kid, he is in rough condition. You were lucky being trapped under the smoke. We can heal physical injuries like crushed body parts or innards. Smoke inhalation however... we dont have the technology or skills to help with that besides a respirator." Obito said as Rin held onto Naruto's hand as tears formed in her eyes. "To be honest, he took in a lot of smoke and even with the mask on. Then he gave it to you for extra protection while he had to deal with more of the smoke... I dont see him waking up for a bit. A week or two at least." Obito said as he looked at Sasuke who had tears start to form. "What happened Sasuke?"

Sasuke turned away and let the tears start to fall, "Its all... m-my fault. I was cocky... I tried using a new jutsu... my brother used once... and it backfired. It blew me straight through the wall with an explosion causing a fire to breakout."

Obito widened his eyes at the admittance. He watched Sasuke's face, which was incredibly regretful and instead of being cocky right now, its sadness and regret. He would punish him and expel him but thats what the academy is for. To make true fledged shinobi, to learn from their mistakes so instead, he will use this as his punishment since he is suffering enough as it is.

"Okay. Your out of school for a week so you can heal. Thats your punishment for being reckless. However, we need to get them to the hospital now!" Obito ordered as medical ninja came by Sasuke while Obito picked Naruto up. "Come on Rin. Lets get him to the hospital, we'll wait for him to wake up there and when he wakes up you can hug him and punch him all you want."

Obito picked Naruto up and turned to the classmates. "I dont know what you all would want to do. You're more then welcome to come with him to the hospital and wait for him to wake up. Its up to your teacher." Obito said as Rin, himself and the other medics with Sasuke vanished via Shunshin.

Iruka sighed as he watched two of his students vanish. Both were top of the class too, so he had to decide if he should go to the hospital to teach them or not considering he had a bunch of other students he had to watch out for. He felt someone tugging on his shirt and when he looked down he saw Sakura pointing to the hospital. "Come on Iruka, let us go! We need to be by both of them!"

Iruka was slightly surprised when she said both of them considering not even 10 minutes ago, She was yelling for Naruto to stop beating Sasuke in the spar. He looked around to see all the students nodding their heads in agreement making the scarred academy teacher sigh. He knew he wasn't going to win this argument so he decided to roll with it. "Okay fine, For those who want to go. Stay here, The ones who dont can head home for the week."

Iruka watched as one kid turned around and grabbed a water bottle but stayed put. Everyone decided to stay put making Iruka smile at the determination everyone but had doubt. 'Are they really going for both kids? Or just for Sasuke? Well Im not gonna find out here.' "Okay everyone, Lets go!"

Naruto opened his eyes slowly but surely. Kurama was talking about what elements Naruto could wield when he grew older, for now it was limited to a very strong Lightning affinity and a decent wind affinity. He knew he would be able to learn more affinities as time goes on but he needed only two for now.

Naruto sat up, not realizing that he was being watched by everyone. "Ow... My fucking chest hurts." The 7 year old states but quickly froze all movement as he felt a glare that he knew all too well. It was the glare he received whenever he broke an item, or lied, or stayed out too late. He knew he messed up thinking she wouldnt be here.

"H-h-hi mom... when d-d-did you get here?" Naruto asked as he slightly turned his head to see his whole class but more importantly... a seething and worried Rin. He knew what would happen when they were alone... The flick of eternal damnation. But for now, He had to worry about trying to calm down his raged and worried mother before she went on a killing spree of the Uchiha, and his classmates.

However to his surprise, Iruka smiled and ushered everyone out of the room as to leave Rin, Obito and Sasuke alone with Naruto. Naruto turned to his mother who went from having a worried face to an annoyed look on her face as she leans back in her chair. Somehow putting on a dangerous aura while pregnant no less.

"Oh, I got here right when your dad pulled your two dumbasses out of the burning building. He wakes up right away almost and you fight off my jinchuriki healing with your own demonic chakra." Rin explains as she sighs rubbing her forehead with her hand. This action made Naruto look down sadly, he hated making his mom worry like that but he felt her hand on his shoulder making him look up at her. "Naruto... Tell me. How did you fight of Isobu's chakra like that?"

Naruto looked at her and something in her called forth her Jinchuriki side. Her eyes shifted to Isobu's while Naruto's changed to Kurama's. "Cause mom, I have the nine tails in me. He fought you off so that way I can heal on my own without any tailed beasts help." Naruto then shifted his eyes back to their normal cerulean blue while his mother's turned back to their normal brown. Naruto looked down again as he continued, "I also know your not my birth mother."

Rin's eyes widened from the random sentence. She saw Naruto's sad look which nearly caused her to cry. She was about to tear up from sadness but Naruto jumped out of his bed and hugged her tightly but not tight enough to hurt the baby. "BUT I DONT CARE!" Naruto said as Rin widened her eyes at Naruto. "You are my mother. You are my mom! And I love you for raising me! You could have gotten rid of me whenever you wanted but instead you took care of me. You clothed me, fed me and made sure I wasn't bored. You made sure I was raised properly and even trained by one of the best ninja's in the village. Even if he was obligated to do it, You made sure I was ready for a shinobi's life and I will always love you for what you have done for me! I love you mom!"

Rin listened to the blond haired boy and was crying with a huge smile on her face as he cried into her. Rin kissed his forehead as she held onto him, "God I love you too Naruto. I wouldn't trade these last 7 years for anything. I am so thankful you understand everything. I love you."

Obito watched the two carefully from the corner and was smiling. The two's bond would grow exponentially with their new developments, And the thought couldnt make Obito anymore happier.

Sasuke watched at the exchange and was surprised to see such a caring mother so worried for her son, it made him long for his families attention like his brother had. Looking at the ceiling, Sasuke knew what he had to do and it was going to be tough, But he needed to get stronger then his elder brother... at all costs.

The next few days while Naruto and Sasuke were still in the hospital, Iruka had been in the room with them with all the other students learning the basics of ninjutsu and the history of it. Most of the kids however, weren't really paying attention as some were laying down next to the two injured academy students while others were on the end of the bed making Iruka sigh and give up on the lessons each day, much like what happened today.

Iruka closed his small book but had a smile on his face as some of his students fell asleep on the beds along side the two kids. Ino and Sakura felt it needed to divide their attention so Ino sat and cuddled with Naruto while Sakura with Sasuke. The rest of the class just divided up and somehow, The beds fit all the kids easily making Naruto wonder what kind of jutsu made it as such.

"Alright! We will stop class here. Naruto..." Iruka called out the blond haired boy who looked at Iruka after writing down notes of what they were covering, "How are you feeling? I know Sasuke was dismissed this morning after Ms. Nohara healed his external wounds and his lungs were cleared of the smoke. What about you? Have you heard anything?"

Naruto nodded his head as he silently and gently jumped off his bed where all the sleeping kids were. "Yes sir, Im all good to go. I want to be able to get out of here asap. I hate hospitals." Naruto said shivering comically getting Sasuke to walk up to him.

"Oh you big baby. The nurses are fine, its the doctors I agree with... They have a weird aura about them." Sasuke said along with a shiver. Both boys looked down thinking of said aura while Iruka messaged the bridge of his nose, where his scar is at.

"That 'aura'... Is called politeness." Iruka said simply causing both boys to snicker and laugh along with Iruka. The two of them mentioned to their teacher that they needed to take a walk to strengthen their lungs to which Iruka agreed.

As they walked through the halls, Sasuke sighed causing Naruto to turn ot him. "Listen Naruto... I havent said it yet but... Thank you. F-for coming back for me."

Naruto smiled brightly as he put a hand on the boy's shoulder, "Dont worry about it Sasuke. Just know your limits. Besides... It was Ino who told me to go get you." Naruto said making Sasuke smirk at him. Naruto noticed the smirk and gulped seeing it.

"You mean the same Ino who, when you are asleep i might add, literally cuddles into you?" Sasuke says causing Naruto to look away with a red face, full of embarrassment. Sasuke knew he had him cornered but he didnt want to see his new found friend so embarrassed but Naruto spoke before Sasuke could say anything.

"Yeah I know, But its not like I can do anything about it bro, She likes you. everyone in the class does. No point in arguing about it or anything. Honestly Im fine with just being friends with you as long as you keep your cool. Deal?" Naruto asked holding his hand out, Sasuke looked down at it and smiled as he took it and shook. "Deal."

The next two days went by incredibly fast for the Blond Jinchuriki as he was currently looking in the mirror. Kurama had told him that since he had been sealed in him so early in his life, Naruto had a look of a natural demon, that look mainly being Naruto's normal blond hair was slightly more wild then normal. He also had gold dog ears on his head that match his hair instead normal human ones.

According to Kurama, he had transformed when he was about a year old giving him this look. However his mom put a genjutsu over him that she always had on during the day but at night would make it go away so she didnt drain her chakra super badly.

Naruto understood why she did it, and he loved her even more that she made sure he was safe. Now however, with meeting Kurama, he needs to make sure she is safe from harm and is taken care of and protected for when she gives birth. Naruto couldnt wait to meet his new sibling.

Naruto continued to look in the mirror at his true form before putting on a genjutsu to hide his appearance from everyone. He brushed his teeth and got ready to head out to the Hokage tower to see his dad during his lunch break. His mom was super excited today but all Naruto could smell was something sweet roaming around his mom, he simply figured it was perfume... how wrong he was.

He exited the bathroom and headed to the living room to see his mom all ready to go. Hell, she was practically bouncing to get going and for the life of Naruto, he couldnt understand why. Naruto grabbed the lunch his mother made for him and his dad before he turned to her. "Okay mom, Im ready. Lets go before you lose your mind."

Naruto walked past her as she stood up with a large smile. Naruto liked seeing his mom super happy. He waited as Rin locked their door and then the two were off.

As they walked, Rin was asking Naruto how he was feeling, "I am doing better mama. Your cooking is what I missed most from being in the hospital." Naruto said with a smile. Rin smiled softly as she looked at Naruto.

"You weren't in the hospital for long. Like a week at most."

"A WEEK TO LONG!" Naruto stated firmly. "HOSPITAL FOOD DOESNT HAVE ANY SEASONINGS OR SPICE! You know I love your cooking cause for me you add so much spice and I love it!" Naruto said getting his mother to giggle softly. But a feeling of being watched made Naruto and Rin stop just outside the hokage tower.

"Naruto... You felt the same lust right?" Rin asked, She taught him a good amount of things of being a sensory ninja and with his enhanced senses that he honed over time, He was able to pick up little things. He couldnt detect chakra but he was able to hear and smell them.

"Yes mom. I smell 3 people on the rooftop. I can only notice them due to the faint smell of blood on them. ANBU?" Naruto questioned as Rin opened the door to the tower.

"I dont know Naruto. Lets get inside and just spend the day with Obito. Sasuke is also on his way." Rin said. Naruto nodded his head as he walked in with Rin behind him. The two walked to the top floor to where the Hokage's office was located.

When they got to the front of the door, Naruto was about to knock but Rin simply walked straight in. "Hey hunni..."

"Who dares intrude on the Hokage during his meeting?" A deep voice came from inside making Rin stiffen when she saw the old war hawk. Obito was sitting their with rage in his eyes from what Rin saw and then she looked back at Danzo.

"His girlfriend Danzo."

"Thats Sir Danzo to you demon." Danzo said with a face of iron and no emotion. Obito widened his eyes in hatred at the old man while Hurizen just sat in the corner watching the exchange. He dared not intervene for the sake of Naruto and Rin... But he also found this entertaining since he knew Danzo was launching an assassination attempt on Rin and he knew the assassins would parish. He told Obito the plans Danzo had and while he was angry and wanted to demolish the old man with his susanoo, He decided to play this out by ear and wait for the perfect moment.

"Not a chance in your life." Rin said as she held her hand on Naruto's chest, practically pushing him away from the old man. She felt a new bloodlust arise when he said that and she knew it was Naruto. She knew how protective he was of her, It easily put her teammates to shame in raw protectiveness.

She watched Danzo turn to her with his cane pointed at her. "You will respect your elders or you will pay the consequences bitch."

Rin knew what he was doing as she grabbed the lunch from Naruto and walked into the room with Naruto in close tow to her. "Watch what you say Danzo. Next time you insult her, Ill kill you."

Danzo looked back at the hokage who had his Mangekyo Sharingan out. He knew the Hokage wasnt going to do anything considering if they did, Hurizen would have killed him a long time ago. "Big talk. I shall take my leave. Do not underestimate me Lord Hokage."

"Threaten any of us again, And I will kill you and your entire family Danzo. And trust me, I know they are out there." Obito threatened to which as if on cue, the 3 people following Rin and Naruto appeared in front of Danzo. Rin and Naruto both looked at the group and knew what was about to unfold.

"Watch your tone boy. You dont eve..."

"South west distract, Apartment 428 at the Nebula apartment complex. An eight year old boy and two little girls along with your wife and your daughter and husband. Those three kids are your grandchildren." Obito said making Hurizen widen his eyes, Danzo had a family?

Danzo hearing the location of his family began to sweat, if the hokage knew that then he knew of his plan to overthrow him and destroy and kill the Uchiha clan. But Danzo knew what he must do right now, which was kill that arrogant boy's girlfriend. "Root, Take care of it."

Danzo quickly vanished from sight while the Root drew their swords. Naruto being only 7 knew what he needed to do but that didnt make it easy. (Kit, Use this.) Naruto widened his eyes when he heard Kurama speak to him. Naruto nodded his head as all three ROOT charged forward. Obito clinched his teeth, mentally cursing for giving his ANBU a day off.

Obito jumped over his desk and engaged two of the root with Hurizen at his side. However one slipped past. "NO! RIN!"

Rin watched as the ROOT ran forward at her with his sword pointed at her stomach. She knew it would be hard to move and even perform jutsu. She wasnt even able to bend over to duck which made her mentally sigh in defeat, She knew she would be killed right now, All she could hope is Obito move on... "IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!"

Rin widened her eyes as she saw Naruto jump in front of her and at the root with extended claws. She witnessed 5 large golden blades get thrown from Naruto's claws as he swung at the air. The attack tore the ROOT apart and fall to the ground in pieces making Rin drop to her knees in shock. She was sure she was gonna die... But her son came to her rescue and ended a man's life.

Naruto looked up and saw Obito snap the ROOT's neck while Hurizen had a sword through his opponent's gut. Hurizen took the sword out and let the man fall to the ground while the girl Obito killed dropped to the ground dead. Naruto looked around with heavy breathing before seeing all the body parts of the root he had killed. He looked down at his hand saw that the genjutsu had gone away and his true form was revealed. Along with that, his claws were covered in the man's blood.

"I...I ended someone's... life." Naruto said as he dropped to his knees. Rin put a hand over her mouth as she hugged Naruto gently while Obito walked over to him.

"Yes you did. You did it to protect your mother. Never... EVER question why you do what you do. You did what you had to do to protect your mom and sibling and the cost... was this man's life. You will be alright kid." Obito said as Hurizen watched the exchange as Naruto started to cry for killing a man with his own claws today. Hurizen knew what would happen when word got out about this exchange cause of Danzo.

"Obito. We need to deal with Danzo at another time. Let him plan accordingly, I have spies on the inside that have been with him for years and he hasn't been the wiser. We will crush him when the time comes. For now... Take them home. Naruto needs to take a break after everything that has happened." Hurizen ordered getting Obito to nod his head. Obito gently had Rin and Naruto rise from their knees and were slowly walked out of the office leaving Hurizen alone to his thoughts. 'I will make sure you are brought down Danzo. Ill have Obito reform the entire elder council due to what you have planned. You will be executed for your crimes finally.'

And thats it folks! Im sorry for the random jumps. Im trying to paint a clear path for the future of this story. Like I said above, there will be elements from other anime but its not a huge crossover. Like Naruto's look I described earlier is suppose to be similar to Inuyasha but with shorter hair and silver hair is mixed with blond. There will be certain jutsu's that are from different anime like for example, An S Ranked jutsu I have for this story is Cruel sun from Seven Deadly Sins. But thats about all there is.

Leave a review on how this chapter was and what could be improved for the next chapter! I hope you all are well and being safe. As always, Stay frosty everyone!
