Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Double1squad: Hey there! I'm sorry that I took forever to get this out for those who have read my other stories, but I had to start this or else I would not come back to this idea.

Naruto: Why don't you tell them the other reason you took so long?

Double1squad: *Glares at him* Shut up.

Naruto: If you don't I will *Gives Double1squad one of his fox like smiles*

Double1squad: Fine, I was grounded because I spent to much time trying to work out the kinks in the beginning of this story. Now, Naruto, if you don't shut up, I won't give you any ramen.

Naruto: *Nods*

Double1squad: Good boy! *Places a bowl of ramen on the floor* Now, don't make a mess or this is your last bowl from me.

Naruto: *Gives a thumbs up before growing a fox tail and ears and starts gulping down the ramen like a fox*

Double1squad: Now that he's taken care of, enjoy the story!

"How dare they!" a pair of glowing eyes appeared in the darkness. "They try and stop me with a baby, and the worst part is they actually succeeded!"

A brief flash of light illuminated the room. A large red fox with nine tails was locked in a cage secured with a paper seal.

A growl shook the bars, "Even if I can't escape let's see how they handle this."

The fox's tails slipped thru the cage bars and were jammed into the walls. Starting slowly but speeding up as time passed, the chakra that formed the demon flowed into the walls. A red glow appeared in the lair of water on the ground.

"I hope you enjoy my present, Konoha."

…

The third stared in horror as the baby he held in his arms started releasing a demonic chakra.

"No!"

The baby's form started to change. Claws appeared as well as nine tails. The newborn was beginning to look like its tenant.

Sarutobi worried that he might have to kill the infant when the changes stopped. After a couple minutes nothing happened except for the stirring of the tails.

"What cha holding?"

The Hokage jumped a little, "Don't sneak up on me Kakashi!"

The silver haired Anbu shrugged, "Thought you would have sensed me. But back to my question, what are you holding?"

Sarutobi showed him, "This is Minato's son."

"What?"

"I know, looks nothing like him," the third told Kakashi, "but something happened that I need to disscuss with you in private. Follow me."

…

Kakashi leaned back on the rock wall, "So why does Naruto look like the nine-tails?"

Sarutobi and Kakashi stood in a small cave located just below the former's stone head. Naruto laid in the retired leader's hands.

"I don't know." The third admitted. "I think it has something to do with Kyuubi being sealed in him, but the seal is designed to prevent this stuff is happening."

Kakashi had a confused expression on his face, "Wait what happened?"

"I forgot, you were not told of Minato's plan to seal the nine-tails into Naruto using a forbidden jutsu."

At that, both of their faces fell, both knew of the loss of their current Hokage.

Sarutobi cleared his throat, "Now, we need to decide what to do with Naruto. Minato had requested that him to be viewed as a hero, but seeing that he looks like the Kyuubi himself, it would not be a good idea."

"I don't think it would have been a good idea even if he wasn't like this," Kakashi was struggling to not whip out his orange book that everyone knew contained porn. "You know that people are going to need to recover from losing loved ones and if they find out that he contains Kyuubi, they will see him as the demon himself."

"Indeed."

"What should we do?"

The third gazed at the newborn in his arms, "I believe that we should keep him hidden at the Hokage tower with a few trusted jounin and chunin to watch over him."

"Like who?" Kakashi knew a few, but it was up to his superior to decide.

Sarutobi paused, "Anko, Ibiki, and Hayate."

"What!"

"I know you don't like Anko, but she is a good person who needs to be recognized as one," the third explained. "This will provide the perfect opportunity for her. Ibiki needs to learn more about handling young children so we don't have another incident involving traumatized Academy students. Finally, Hayate will provide protection as a guard since he is ill and unable to take long term missions like the rest. Plus he can tutor Naruto when he is old enough."

Hayate and Anko were both chunins while Ibiki was a jounin. Anko was the former student of Orochimaru, a missing nin, who was tossed aside. Now she was hated by the village and it was obvious that she was hiding behind mask, but it was known that if people hide behind one for too long their personality becomes that. Normally it was ok since masks that shinobi tend to wear are ones that consisted of abnormal happiness and energy, but Anko's was frightening as it consisted of torture that could turn even the strongest ninjas into blubbering messes. Ibiki was also frightening, but not in the same sense. He tended to take all aspects of his life like he did when interrogating prisoners, constantly forcing others to into believing that something is true. Hayate was the only one who did not work in the I&T department, but he was considered the most promising in kenjutsu out of all the ninja in Konoha. Unfortunately, he had an illness that prevented him from leaving the village on long term missions that even Tsunade could not heal him.

"What about Gai?" the third paled.

"I do not want him to be infected by Gai's 'YOUTHFULNESS' nonsense! It's bad enough that he does it!"

Kakashi backed into the cave wall at the outburst, "I am glad to hear that, because I don't want him challenging me all the time just to try and show that his 'youthfulness' prevails. As much as I agree with you, can you keep it down? Naruto just woke up because you were too loud."

Indeed, the bundle that was Naruto had started crying. Quickly the ex- Hokage calmed the newborn down, slowly rocking him back and forth.

Kakashi waited till the infant was asleep again before asking a question that had been on his mind, "Who is going to be Hokage? Minato hadn't chosen any successors."

"I have a feeling that the council will want me to retake the position," Sarutobi sighed, "but I have a feeling that we will have to deal with a whole new mess after this, so I am not looking forward to seeing my old nemesis again."

Kakashi chuckled, "Minato always used Shadow Clones to get the paperwork done. I am surprised you hadn't thought of that."

"Now you tell me!"

"I didn't really know the jutsu when you were Hokage before!" the Anbu agent defended himself. "Plus, I thought that you would never have to become Hokage again!"

Again, Naruto woke up, and again, Sarutobi called him down.

The third looked Kakashi in the eye, "I need you to look after him while I talk to the council."

The silver haired Anbu nodded, gently taking the infant from him. Naruto whimpered as the old man disappeared.

…

"Get back here twerp!" Anko yelled, chasing after the toddler.

A year had passed since Naruto had the Kyuubi sealed into him. Not much had changed except for the fact that he could now crawl, much to his caregivers' horror.

"Never!" the blond called back, somehow keeping ahead of the snake mistress.

Hayate stood there watching as the two raced around the room, Anko calling threats and Naruto saying his favorite word after 'ramen' which was 'never.'

"Can you two stop goofing around?" Hayate called out before bursting into a coughing fit.

"Never!" the pair called out. "Hey!"

Anko glared at Naruto, "You're copying me!"

"No! You're the one copying me!"

Hayate silently groaned; they had been doing the same routine every night that Anko was here. Naruto lived in a series of tunnels beneath the Hokage Tower that were meant to serve as a safe house for important visitors. The walls blocked any chakra from leaving the complex, but allowed for people to sense any from outside. This was ideal for Naruto because it would prevent any of Kyuubi's chakra from being sensed if he ended up leaking it like he had when Sarutobi found him.

"I see that they're at it again."

"I thought I told you not to do that!" Hayate gasped out between small coughing fits. "You know that it makes me have a coughing fit!"

Kakashi scratched the back of his head, slightly embaressed, "Sorry. Although, how come I'm the only one who makes that happen?"

"I don't know," Hayate glared at him, "but it started the day that I met you."

The silver haired shinobi gave a nervous laugh, "I have no idea what you are talking about, you have had that illness since the day I met you."

"I did not! You dumped that experimental powder on me, and then I started coughing."

"That wasn't me! It was Anko!"

"I recall that it was you, Kakashi," Ibiki said, entering the room.

Kakashi glared at Ibiki, much to the scarred man's amusement, "You ruined my plan."

Hayate smirked at Kakashi, opening his mouth to increase the silver haired Anbu's annoyance only to be interrupted with Naruto and Anko running in between the trio.

"Brat, get back here!" Anko screamed, ignoring the fact that she stepped on Ibiki's foot. "You are going to pay!"

"Never!"

The shinobi quickly saw the reason why the kunoichi was in such a bad mood. Anko's back was covered in splashes of paint that formed a snake.

Kakashi cleared his throat, "I didn't know that a child who is almost one could do that."

"You know that Naruto is a fast learner," Hayate sighed before bursting off into a quick coughing fit, "it was just a matter of time before he learned the best way to get on our bad side."

It was true, the young boy had known how to crawl since he was a month and was speaking proficiently at six months. The third had theorized that the influence that the fox had on him had caused Naruto to learn quicker than average as well as making the young boy as clever as a fox, literally.

As the pair came back, Ibiki and Hayate moved to stop them, "Bed time."

Both began pouting, "Come on, Anko was starting to catch up to me. I wanted to see how much longer I could go on."

"He's right!" Anko shouted. "The chase was just getting good and you had to ruin it!"

The shinobi sweat dropped at how much the two were alike.

Ibiki did his best to intimidate them, "You know that it is bed time. If you aren't ready in five minutes, you better be prepared."

Naruto gulped and rushed to get ready.

Anko raised an eyebrow, "You do realize that one day he will figure out that you would only tickle him for half an hour."

"I know," Ibiki chuckled, "I just like seeing his face every time I say that."

…

"Happy Birthday Naruto!"

Naruto sat in the dining room surrounded by presents and his care takers. Hayate was passing around slices of cake as well as bowls of ramen to all who were present. Kakashi sat in a corner with the ever present book held open in front of his face, although the book was upside down. Ibiki and Anko both had grins on their faces that usually meant that someone was going to be in a lot of pain, but it was reserved for Naruto as their you're going to help us cause lots of pain smile. Even Sarutobi was there; unfortunately, he was just leaving due to the fact that he needed to make a speech in front of the village for the Kyuubi festival that was taking place outside the complex.

"Hurry up and open my present to you!" Anko yelled at Naruto.

Naruto glared at her before dissolving into a fox-like grin, "Ok!"

Naruto reached towards a badly wrapped present but was shocked when Anko shoved the nicest one out of all the presents into his hands.

Everyone but Kakashi stared at her, "What? You think that I didn't pay attention to this part of kunoichi training."

They nodded.

"Well," Anko smirked, "that would have been true, but I had an idea on how to torture with the use of wrapping so I paid attention."

Everyone except for Naruto paled at the thought of what the snake mistress could do with wrapping paper.

"Relax, I won't use it on you," the men sighed in relief. "But I might if you don't pass me the rest of the dango."

Naruto started to rip open his present; ignoring the empty dango sticks flying pass his head. A wooden box was revealed, when opened revealed a book, some rope, and a couple of knives.

"Anko," Naruto said, not looking up. "How do you expect me to know what this is if I can't read?"

The book flew at her face, Anko quickly caught it, "Hayate is going to start teaching you tomorrow. And as for what it is, it is a beginners set for torture."

At that, a collective groan went up, mostly from Hayate because he was the one who would have to teach the blond.

Naurto on the other hand was ecstatic, "So I get to be just like you and Ibiki?"

"Yah, yah, yah," Anko told the hyper boy, "We will teach you all we know."

"Now, "Sarutobi stood up, "if you don't mind, I have to go make my speech. I'll come back as soon as I can, but I still have to go."

Naruto and Anko had the same pout on their faces, "Ok."

Kakashi giggled at the look, but quickly disguised it as one of his perverted giggles that he was known for.

"Will you get your head out of that piece of trash for once and join us?" Anko loomed over the Anbu.

Ibiki and Hayate stared at her, "You do realize that the book has been upside down the whole time, right?"

"Sure I did," the snake mistress spluttered. "I mean who couldn't?"

Naruto raised a hand, earning a glare from Anko.

"Not including those who can't read!"

The hand went down.

"I thought so."

Chuckles echoed around the room.

"What's happening?" Hayate asked, pointing at Naruto.

A red chakra surrounded the blond. Everyone in the room suddenly realized what was happening.

"The Kyuubi's chakra is escaping," Kakashi whispered.

…

Sarutobi had just reached the second floor of the Hokage tower when the shadow bowled past him, "Hayate?"

The chunin quickly ran back to the elderly kage, "We have a problem."

"What is it?"

Hayate looked him in the eye, "Naruto is in trouble."

…

The third burst into the blonde's bedroom, "How did this happen?"

"We don't know!" Anko had a rare expression of frustration on her face. "We were just finishing up with the party and we saw red chakra coming off of Naruto. After a second, we felt what could only have been the Kyuubi's chakra!"

Sarutobi gazed at the sleeping form of Naruto, "We need Inoichi."

"You don't mean?"

"Yes, Kakashi," the Hokage gazed at the silver haired Anbu. "We need to tell him."

…

Inoichi gazed around the sewer like setting of Naruto's mind scape. Around his feet were a couple of inches of water flowing in one direction, towards the darker end of the tunnel. Inoichi soon found himself in front of a large cage with a paper seal across the doors.

"What are you doing here, foolish mortal," a pair of glowing red eyes appeared from the darkness within the cage.

Inoichi cleared his throat, "I am Inoichi Yamanaka, I am here to find out why your container is leaking your chakra, Kyuubi."

The demon lord snorted, "You think that you can order me around like some child? Pathetic!"

"But…"

"I did not say that I would not tell you," a tail appeared just behind the bars. "It humors me to see your reaction to what I say. I am turning Naruto into a half demon by infusing my chakra forcefully into his chakra network. Unfortunately, I can only do it on his birthday because of this seal."

Inoichi glared at Kyuubi, "You can't."

Chuckling echoed across the chamber, "I thought I told you, you can't do a thing about it. Anyways, eventually I will be able to escape without totally destroying the boy. Then I can get my revenge on that Uchiha and snake man."

"Uchiha and snake man?" Inoichi had a pretty good idea who the snake man is, but the Uchiha was a mystery.

"Yes," the demon lord grinned. "Orochimaru and Madara Uchiha."

"But that's impossible; Madara has been dead for centuries!"

A growl came from the cage, "He is not dead. He was the one who made me attack you. I didn't want to waste time with your village, but Madara put me under a genjutsu that made me attack your pathetic excuse for a village."

Inoichi paused, "So if you get out, you won't destroy Konoha?"

"I never said that," the eyes glared at the blond jounin. "I would destroy Konoha, but I can only do that if Naruto is angry with the village. Unfortunately, the seal will force me to do what my container wants me to do, even if I escape."

Inoichi bowed to Kyuubi, "Thank you. I will relay this to the Hokage."

A small flash lit up the cavern as the Yamanaka head disappeared, revealing the massive nine tail fox, who had a grin on his face.

…

"He's stirring," a voice said above Inoichi.

"Shut up, Kakashi," a loud slap accompanied the voice.

Inoichi opened his eyes to see Hayate and Ibiki standing over him. Kakashi was leaning against a wall, nursing his covered cheek while Anko stood over him, yelling about how he needed to be more considerate, although it was obvious that she was only looking for an excuse to hit him.

Hayate gave a small cough, whether or not it was intentional was undeterminable, "What did you find out?"

"The Kyuubi is turning Naruto into a half demon," collective gasps were heard around the room. "It gets worse, he will eventually escape the seal, but Naruto will be able to survive since he's a half demon. Also, Kyuubi will be unable to destroy the village as long as Naruto does not become angry with it to the extent that he wants to destroy it."

The room was silent before Anko spoke up, "Well, that's bad."

Inoichi nodded, "It gets even worse."

"How could it?"

"Madara is alive."

Omake

Nearly eleven years had passed since the Kyuubi attack had taken place. The third sat in his office, awaiting the arrival of Gai's new team.

"GAI SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

"GAI SENSEI!"

"LEE!"

The yelling continued for a couple of minutes before the door opened. The first two in was a jounin with a bowl cut closely followed by a younger version of himself. Sarutobi gazed at them in horror, barely noticing the other members of the team entering the room.

"No!" everyone except for Gai and Lee flinched. "Not another one of you!"

Lee had a slightly worried look on his face, "Calm down Hokage, it is not very youthful for someone of your age to scream like that."

Gai broke out into one of his famous grins, "That was very YOUTHFUL of you Lee!"

"Thank you Gai sensei!"

"Lee!"

"Gai sensei!"

"LEE!"

"GAI SENSEI!"

It was too much for poor Sarutobi, who fainted as soon as the two started their exchange.

"Neji," a girl with two buns on her head whispered to a boy with pale lavender eyes, "let's take the Hokage to the hospital."

Neji nodded, picking up the limp form of the third and snuck out of the room after his female teammate, leaving behind the green clad monstrosities. They barely made it out when they felt the tell tale signs of the genjutsu that mysteriously appeared around the two when they get into their 'youth' mode.

Unfortunately, a chunin walking into the room to deliver some more missions to the Hokage was not as lucky.

"ARGGG!"

He was found three days later, having wandered around the tower after being blinded by what he saw.

Double1squad: So what did you think?

Naruto: You made me like the fur ball! *A massive KI fills the air*

Double1squad: *Waves it off* Relax, you only look like Kyuubi, you don't act like him. Plus, I can't change you outside of the stories at all.

Naruto: *KI stops* Fine, but if I end up destroying the entire world or coughing up a hair ball or something, you will pay! *Small burst of KI*

Double1squad: Fine. *Thinks for a second* Pity though, the hair ball would have been a great addition to the story.

Naruto: You wouldn't dare!

Double1squad: Uh, sure! well that's all for now! Please review! *Disappears in a flash, leaving behind a cofused Naruto*
