Chapter 2 - Sealing
About a year and three months after Naruto was born there was a meeting between the sickly looking man and the Raikage. "This is an example of how you can seal a demon into an object, but you can of course seal it into a person, like they did the nine-tailed fox in Konoha. With this knowledge you can created a weapon for your village. Here is the scroll that has information on how you might be able to deal with your, shall we say problems. But the caster must give up his life for it to work and you will need a newborn infant to seal the beast in. The formula is not complete as I was not able to get all the information from Konoha, but I am sure you can finish it. Also here is another scroll that will release the demon that is sealed into this statue into a body so you can have yet another demon vessel." The thin sickly long haired man explained holding a statue of a fox.
"So Orochimaru, what is the cost of this?" The Raikage asked.
"Only help in financing a village for me to control, of course we would be allies." Orochimaru answered.
"That sounds reasonable." The Raikage replied as they both laughed.

Six months later in the country of Lightning an eight tailed dragon is moving thru the country side. Several mist ninja raced towards it with a baby being held by one of the shinobi. One of the shinobi started to mutter something and the dragon disappears in a flash of light. The man collapses as a seal appears on the stomach of the baby boy and the baby began to cry. "Take him to the cell with the old man." The lead shinobi orders the kunoichi holding the baby. "At least the old man was able to help finish the seal information so it was successful this time." The group headed back to Kumo where the baby was put into a cell with an elderly man for him to make the child into a weapon.
They arrived and are greeted by the Raikage at the gates of the village. "Was the sealing a success?" The Raikage asked as the men nod and the kunoichi continued on to the prison. "Good, you followed my orders that he be put with the old man and we shall see if he will become a good weapon. Now get out of my sight."
The kunoichi entered the cell and handed the child to a cell to an elderly man in the cell. "Take care of him and teach him what you know, the Raikage wants him to become a good weapon that we can use at a later date. We will be by later with some food for you and that creature." The old man smiles at the child but then frowns at the kunoichi and the guards.
"I will do as you ask, I will teach the boy, but I cannot guarantee he will become a weapon. I will raise him and teach him what I can. The chakra seal will be a hindrance to my teachings, could you please remove them?" The old man asked.
"No we need to make sure that thing does not get loose." The woman answered.

A year and a few months later a giant two-tailed cat is destroying the country side in the Lightning country. A new group of lightning shinobi carrying a baby approached the cat. One of shinobi pulls out a scroll and began to read it. A flash of light appears and the cat is gone as a seal appears on the baby held by another ninja. The man reading the scroll collapses. The other shinobi gather their dead comrade and head back to Kumo with the child.
Arriving in Kumo they head to the Tower of the Raikage. "Better this time?" The Raikage asks. The men nod their head and present the baby to the Raikage. "Take it to my wife so that she can take care of it. We will try to learn from our mistakes as the other seems to not be able to take our training. We will send this one to school and see if she turns out differently. Tell all your men that she is to be treated more kindly than the boy has been. Do I make myself clear?" The men nod and quickly leave the Raikage's office.

In the private quarters of the Raikage's wife a shinobi presents the baby to her. "What am I supposed to do with this brat? Does he want to raise it as one of his own?"
The female shinobi nodded. "Yes my lady, he does. Those were his orders also we were to instruct it on how to be a proper member of society. And it is eventually be to become a shinobi. This is his weapons program as we will be gaining more. I am told that in a year's time we may have another guest."
"Great more beasts, just what we need. Well take care of her she will be shown the courtesies of being a member of the Raikage's family." The Raikage's wife exclaimed with a scowl.

In a dark dirty cell an old man is playing ball with a young boy. "Are you having fun Shinbo?" The old man asks.
"Uhuh, yeds dada… more ball…" Shinbo happily replies.
The old man smiles and rolls the ball to the boy. "I will teach you how to read and how to do seals. Doesn't that sound fun?"
"Yeah, dada… fun… more ball…" Shinbo replies.

Naruto and Hinata had their first play time outside of the Hyuuga compound. They traveled with Hinata's mother and several guards to the Nara estate. Naruto enjoyed playing with Shikamaru and the deer that seemed to be everywhere on the Nara estate. Hinata also enjoyed playing with the deer but mostly enjoyed spending time with her best friend Naruto.
The Nara were surprised by the energy that Naruto seemed exude, it was infectious. Naruto with each visit began to believe that Shikamaru's mother was scary, but nice. Shikamaru could only agree.
The next day Naruto and Hinata both got to play with the Inuzuka dogs and meet the youngest child Kiba. Naruto and Kiba seemed to get along like arguing brothers whenever Naruto and Hinata came over. Hinata would just giggle at their antics.
Naruto never understood his visits to the Yamanaka residence other than he got to learn about plants. Hinata enjoyed these visits too. She was able to spend time with Ino and thus they became good friends. Inoichi would take Naruto aside for a couple hours then return and talk to Hinata's mother. It was always hushed whispers and that something was still asleep. Naruto never understood what they were talking about but he enjoyed the attention Inoichi would give him.
Trips to the Akamichi were interesting to say the best Naruto and Hinata did their best to stay out from under foot of the family of large shinobi. Choji and Naruto became fast friends as they would talk about what foods they liked. Hinata found these trips somewhat boring as there were few girls for her to play with and most were interested in food not girl things like dolls or clothes.
