When the 3rd Hokage made it to where the 4th and his family were he could only look on sadly as he knew the technique the 4th used for the sealing as well as the price. He walked over to the crib slowly as he heard a baby crying. Upon reaching the crib seing what was inside caused him to have a small smile. It was then that he could sense that one more person was alive amongst the three. 'But its supposed to be impossible for someone to survive after losing their tailed beast.' He then realized that Minato must have sealed a portion of the Kyuubis chakra inside of Kushina to keep her alive and her heritage as an Uzumaki must have helped alot but she was in a coma that she may never wake up from.

He immediately called for anbu and ordered them to retrieve some doctors. They gave a salute and left. It was then that Danzo the 3rd Hokages old team mate from his genin days walked into the clearing.

"Hiruzen, we need to keep the birth of naruto a secret from the Uzumaki." Danzo said causing the old Hokage to turn to him with a glare.

"What do you mean? Are to telling me to lie to the Uzumaki that the grandson of the Uzukage died at birth? Why would I do that?" He asked with anger clear in his voice.

Danzo stayed calm and spoke slowly and clearly. "If they found out about him they would most likely take him back with them to Whirlpool and if that were to happen we would lose our only tailed beast. With it gone we would look far weaker and this could give other hidden villages enough courage to declare war on us."

Pondering his words the old man could only agree with the war hawk. So before the anbu and doctors could return he had another anbu take Naruto back to the Hokage tower where he would head to after seeing that Kushina and Minato were taken care of.

One week later...

Kushina was at the hospital still in a coma. The doctors had announced that she may never wake up from said coma. Hiruzen was both relieved and saddened by their words. Relieved because if she had woken up she would have known that Naruto survived and told her family but saddened as he was very close to both her and Minato.

Hiruzen was now waiting for the delegation from Whirlpool to arrive and bring Kushina back to her home village for medical care. When the delegation arrived he had met them at the gate. What surprised him was that the Uzukage and his son were both there as well. He knew that Kushina was from the Uzumaki clan but what he didnt know was that she was practicaly a princess as she was the daughter of the current leader of Whirlpool. When he learned of this he paled knowing that it was too late to tell them that Naruto was still alive as they could ask why he had initially told them in a letter that he didnt survive. Kushina had kept that part of her heritage a secret as she didnt want to be treated with favoritism.

Realizing that it was too late to fix things he could only hope that they never found out. The Uzumaki didnt stay long as they couldnt leave their village without a leader for too long. They took Kushina with them but assured Hiruzen that they did not blame him for what happened as it was out of his control. After they left he had a council meeting to discuss what the next course of action was.

(The meeting went the same as canon with the addition of some people saying they should kill Naruto to make sure that the Uzumaki knew that they were on their side. Hiruzen also decided that Naruto would have no last name as if he did then the Uzumaki could find out and for the same reason for the Namikaze name.)

5 years later in Whirlpool...

Kushina had been put on life support and kept alive with the chance that she could wake up from her coma no matter how low the chance was. The Uzumaki just didnt know when to give up and they never abandoned their friends and family.

Their efforts paid off when Kushina started to stir in her bed until her eyes shot open and she screamed. Hearing her scream the guards rushed into the room to see a wide eyed Kushina mumbling something about her baby. Not knowing what to do, one of them went to inform their superiors of what had happened.

Not even 5 minutes later the Uzukage was seen sprinting through his castle heading towards his daughters room. Reaching the room he slammed the doors open before tears started welling up in his eyes upon seeing his daughter finally awake. Thats when he heard her mumbling about where her baby was.

Hearing this he walked over to her and brought her into a hug. "Im sorry baby, but we were informed that he died at birth." This caused her to push him back and look at him confused.

"W-what do you mean he died at birth?! He was alive and well before I lost consciousness!" She practically screamed before trying to get up only to fall back down. Catching her, her dad had a serious face when he asked. "Are you positive that he survived birth?"

"Of course, he was the one that Minato sealed the Kyuubi inside of." She said before realizing what must have happened. "The Leaf said he died, didnt they?" She got a nod of confirmation. "W-why would they do this. It must be because of the Kyuubi, they didnt want to lose it so they lied to you." Kushina said before breaking out in tears.

This was when Kushinas brother entered the room with a smile only to see his father with a scowl on his face while conforting his sister. Noticing his son the Uzukage gave him an order that left no room for debate. "Prepare the troops, we set out tomorrow morning. The Leaf shall answer for this treachery." Hearing the seriousness in his fathers voice he didnt ask any questions and left to prepare the troops. He would find out what was going on later.

The next day over half of all troops of Whirlpool stood in formation infront of a stage. What they didnt expect to see was a pissed off Uzukage and Kenshin walk on stage with a women that looked similar to their princess. Upon reaching the center of the stage their kage spoke in a commanding tone.

"I have some good news as well as some bad news to announce. The good news is that my daughter has finally awoken from her coma. We finally have the princess back with us." At this announcement the crowd cheered as everyone in Whirlpool loved their leader and his family.

"The bad news is...that my grandson, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, that was declared to have died at birth...STILL LIVES." This statement was followed by a huge amount of killing intent leaving the people speechless. "It would seem that the Leaf village has deceived us into thinking that he died for fear that we would take him back home. They feared this because, Minato Namikaze, his father had sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto and losing him would mean losing the Kyuubi. So i ask you all, will you march with me to the land of fire and help me regain my family?"

There was silence until one person yelled so loud everyone could hear him. "Do you even need to ask? We are Uzumaki, we never abandon our friends and family. When do we leave?!" This caused a chorus a shouts agreeing with the mans statement. This caused the old Uzukage to smile knowing that his people were always there for him and his family. After the crowd quieted down he spoke again. "We leave in an hour. Those who wish to help board the ships."

They needed no more words as they all marched towards the ships. By the time the hour was up all the ships were filled to the max with more wanting to board. When they found out there were no more room some started boarding fishing boats and following the main ships.

In the leaf village...

A small 5 year old blonde boy with 3 whisker marks on each cheek was seen running for his life. He was being chased by an angry mob of villagers that blamed him for the Kyuubi attack saying that he was the Kyuubi incarnate. Not that he knew this as the Hokage had forbid anyone from telling the boy with the punishment of death.

For as long as he could remember other people would always look at him with distain and disgust while whispering something about him being a demon. He didnt know why he was hated but that dudnt matter right now as he cut into an alley only to find out to late it was a dead end. With no escape he started begging the people behind him.

"P-please, I dont know what I did but Im sorry. Please dont hurt me." He begged with tears in his eyes only too see they were enjoying thd sight of him crying.

"What fo you mean you dont know?" "You killed my daughter. Give her back." "You killed my mother." The crowd was yelling this and many more.

Noticing that he wasnt getting anywhere with words Naruto gave up and started crying. The crowd then approached him before grabbing him and dragging to o e of the training fields. They tied him to a tree before taking turns beating and abusing him. This was going on until a small voice was heard.

"N-naruto-kun! W-what are y-ou doing to h-him!?" Asked a whited eyed girl that had tears in her eyes.

Hearing the girl the crowd looked at her before speaking. "We are finishing the 4ths work." Said one of them while the others agreed with the statement.

"W-what do y-you mean?" The girl asked not knowing what they meant.

"We are gonna kill the demon brat to avenge all those that he killed." Said another person.

At that moment a killing intent that was so strong that it was felt all over the village appeared like a tsunami. "What gives you the right to kill my nephew?" Said a man that was walking up from behind the small white eyed girl.

After reaching the little girl he turned to her before speaking to her. "What is your name little girl?" The man asked

"M-my name i-is Hinata, H-hinata Hyuga." The now named Hinata responded.

"Thank you. My name is Kenshin. Now will you do something for me." Getting a nod he continued. "Will you close your eyes and cover your ears? I dont want you to know what is going to happen next." Nodding Hinata did as asked.

In the next moment Kenshin started slaughtering all of the villagers and ninja that had gathered to "finish what the 4th Hokage started".

At the Hokage tower...

Hiruzen was in his office doing paperwork when it appeared. A killing intent so strong it made his look like a kitten infront of a tiger. Quickly taking action he called forth his anbu and they took off towards the source as did many other ninja.

Back with Naruto...

When the Hokage arrived to the source of the killing intent he grew extremely pale and started sweating profusely. Infront of him was Kenshin Uzumaki cradling a half dead Naruto in his arms and a crying Hinata next to them. Around the 3 of them laid the bodies of around 30 people being a mix of Leaf ninja and civilians. Hiruzen never felt so old.

"Kenshin-dono, to what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?" The old Hokage asked knowing full well what was going on seeing what was in his arms.

Before Kenshin could answer a group of Hyuga landed near them and spoke. "Hinata, what are you doing with that boy?" Asked Hiashi unaware that what he just said would have caused his death if not for his daughter. "F-father, Naruto-kun w-was attacked b-by these p-people." Said Hinata to her father.

Kenshin chose that moment to speak up. "Sarutobi, what is the meaning of this?" He asked giving 0 respect to the old man while giving him a death glare and releasing his killing intent once more. At this everyone but the Hokage fell to their knees gasping for breath while he himself was starting to breath heavier. He only stopped seeing that Hinata the girl trying to defend Naruto was having a hard time.

Before the Hokage could answer the question an anbu appeared infront of him. "Hokage-sama, a carriage with the Uzumaki clan symbol and the fire lord is at the west gate with an army demanding your presence." The anbu said quickly clearly worried. "Who is in the carriage?" Asked the old man fearing thr answer.

"The Uzukage, Kushina Uzumaki, sir." The anbu said before being dismissed.

Sighing the Hiruzen started walking twords the west gate with a sullen expression. Kenshin followed suit. Upon reaching the gate Kenshin walked to the carriage with the Uzumaki clan symbol. When the carriage door was opened a crying Kushina came flying out. She bolted towards her son and grabbed him.

That was when she noticed the state he was in. She turned to Hiruzen who upon meeting her eyes turned away. "What is the meaning of this Sarutobi!?" She yelled at the man.
