AN: No I don't own Naruto, duh. Furthermore I will be using the American version as a reference because that's all I've seen, and no there will not be any "believe it"'s. I would like to get my hands on the episodes if anyone would be willing to help me, so that this fic will be a good one. I have only seen up to the Chunin exams, the preliminaries for the third exam. So if anyone could tell me where I could get full episode downloads, it would be much appreciated.

There will be romance in this fic, but I haven't decided on a pairing, but it WILL ABSOLULTELY NOT BE YAOI! It will to be a female character.

Chapter 1- The Plan

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

"HOLD THE ATTACK AND WAIT FOR YONDAIME HOKAGE!" The shout was heard by the nearby ninja, at least the ones that were still alive. Blood…enough blood to fill a large lake…this was the battlefield of the shinobi of Konoha versus Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine-tailed fox.

"IT'S GETTING CLOSER, DON'T LET IT NEAR THE VILLAGE!" The ninja were fighting valiantly, but in vain, no wound would stay open, nothing seemed to slow it down. "HEY GET THE BOY OUT OF HERE!" Shouted a ninja who spotted one Iruka Umino, and another picked him up and ran back in the direction of the village.

"LET ME GO, MY MOM AND DAD ARE STILL FIGHTING BACK THERE," Yelled the boy as he struggled to be free. Just before he was knocked unconscious, he saw the place where his mother and father were barraged by three of the nine tails sending bodies through the air.

Arashi arrived at a horrible scene, the nine-tails still fighting without fatigue, the bodies and pieces of fellow shinobi, many of which he had known and was familiar with. He had come up with his plan, but it was far from foolproof. He would die as a result, but it had to be done. He stood upon his partner and prepared to rid the village of this menace. "I suppose this is farewell my friend."

"I suppose it is…" replied is amphibian ally. Arashi quickly went through the hand signs and performed his own forbidden sealing jutsu.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Arashi rushed into the small room, feeling his chakra fading fast, he couldn't hold onto the spirit much longer. Inside the room were the Sandaime Hokage, his own wife who had passed away while he was out, Hiashi Hyuga, and his newborn son. 'It wasn't supposed to be this way, she was supposed to live' he thought in vain as he had little time to do this. "Quickly there is little time left, his chakra coils are finalizing." Announced the stoic Hyuga. Arashi nodded and finished the final phase of the jutsu, sealing the spirit of the nine-tailed fox into his own son…Naruto.

"Tell t-them…he's their…hero." The seal closed in around the baby's naval and as the seal finished Arashi collapsed and entered into darkness with the sound of his son's crying in his ears.

Sandaime shook his head. The baby had started crying as if sensing it's own loss. Three whisker marks had appeared on each of his cheeks as the seal has finally closed. This was indeed a sad day for the village hidden in the leaves, having lost not only many skilled ninja that were friends and family, but also their most promising leader. He had agreed to retake his post as Hokage when Arashi had come to him with his plan, but he was unsure of what to do now, neither of them had expected the untimely passing of Arashi's wife. She had bled too much and too fast…all available medic-nin were already on the battlefield so it was impossible to get help to her fast enough. She died shortly after giving birth to their savoir, though both men in the room had little hope that the village would see him that way.

"Maybe…we should kill him…" Sandaime looked angrily at the offending Hyuga, but what he saw in the, normally stoic, mans eyes was neither hatred nor fear…it was pity. "…maybe it would be better for him…than what he'll grow up living through."

"I'm sure all the shinobi, or at least most of them will heed Arashi's dying words but there is no doubt in my mind that the village will not take to the boy, only seeing him as the demon, but I think I can make things a bit easier on him. I will forbid anyone to speak of it, then, hopefully, those that are his age will never know his secret and he won't be completely hated by all." Sandaime said while returning his gaze to the still crying baby.

"That may stop the adult villagers from speaking about it to their children…but the children will sense the adult's fear…and the adults will tell them to keep their distance anyway…I'm afraid our hero is doomed to a life of loneliness and hatred." Replied Hiashi as he too turned to look back upon the container of the most powerful of the demons. "If he lives long enough…he will be the strongest ninja ever…I can see it even now…the demon's chakra blending with his own, it's not a lot now, but when he becomes a teenager his chakra will be almost as limitless as Kyubi's"

This statement brought Sandaime out of his daze and he looked back at Hiashi with surprise, and then back at the boy. 'Arashi…you really have given this village a hero…but perhaps you've cursed his existence as well.' "Would you mind if I asked you a favor Hiashi?"

"…You want me to look after the boy. Lord Hokage? To adopt him?" Asked the knowing Hyuga.

"If it wouldn't be too much trouble, he needs to stay protected."

"…The council will not approve…but I think I can do something to perhaps gain their favor, or at the very least give the boy a gift that will make him even more formidable."

"YOU MEAN…?" yelled Sandaime surprised. Hiashi just nodded in response.
