-15 Years ago-

Minato Namikaze and his wife Kushina Uzumaki was in a hidden cave away from the village preparing for the arrival of their son Menma Uzumaki-Namikaze birth. The main reason they were out of the village was because of how potent the demonic chakra that the nine tails gave off towards the last week of her pregnancy. There were only a few people who knew she was pregnant and fewer who knew Minato was the father of the baby. After delivering the baby the nurse started checking him over to make sure he was healthy. Minato wanted to name the baby after one of the main characters in his sensei's books. However, Kushina disagreed saying she didn't want her baby named after a main character of one his pervert sensei books, she never genuinely liked Jiraiya and didn't want her child to be anywhere near that man right as she said this the two parents heard a body hit the floor hard. Quickly turning their heads, they saw the nurse who was holding their child on the ground dead and their baby boy was being held by a person wearing all black with a red Oni mask. In a distorted demonic voice, the person told Minato to step away from the container of the nine tails as he placed a tag on Menma's blanket and threw him at his father. After catching and getting his son out the room Minato threw the blanket away saving Menma's life and placed him in a crib within his family house. Once Minato left the room the Oni mask figure grabbed and took Kushina outside of the cave and tried to extract the nine tails out of her. However, what was quickly noticed was the fact that she no longer had the beast within her anymore. Once the Oni masked figure found that out, he processed to try to stab her in the chest but Minato came in time to stop the man and save his wife from death at the man's hands. Kushina who had little to no energy left tried to untie herself from the stone pillar the man had her tied to. Unfortunately, out of nowhere a person wearing a hannaya mask stabbed her through the heart but before she passed she heard one final sentence "He should've been mine not yours" said a female voice (Author's Note: The Hannya mask is a representant of a jealous female demon). After killing Kushina the female went to plan B she knew that there may had been a chance she couldn't get the nine tails to destroy the village however that's why she was always had another plan.

-Meanwhile within the village-

The Hidden leaf was being attacked by two different groups one contained four armed Oni masked demons and other the other side of the village Rōshi and Han was leading Iwagakure ninjas into the village. The situation got worse when Rōshi went full tailed beast mode and started destroying important buildings like hospitals and schools. Han on the other hand decided to use his stream release to blind the Konoha ninjas making it hard for the ninjas of Konoha to see anything in front of them resulting in the demons getting the jump on them. Too many the strange part about all of this was that it seems like the Han was placed under a genjutsu because he was seeking revenge for his fellow Uzumaki clan members a clan Iwagakure personally helped destroy during the Second Shinobi War. The Konoha had thrown their best fighters at the two tailed beast containers and strange monsters who didn't go down easily. As the fight kept going on Han decided it was time to stop playing games and started attacking the village using his boil release burning houses and other things down. That was until an unlikely ally in Orochimara showed up on top of her snake (Author's notes: Yes Orochimaru is a female in this story). Orochimaru was only hoping that the fool Jiraiya would show up soon and that he had instructed his student properly however a part of her was also worried about her student Kushina who wasn't here.

-Over with Minato-

Once saving his wife Minato Namikaze fought and killed the masked man but when he went to see who was under the mask the body burned to ashes. Minato couldn't keep his attention on this because he noticed that his village was being attacked by what he perceived to be Iwa ninjas, The four tailed beast and demons. Minato knew there was a way to help his village from being destroyed in that moment he made a tough decision to seal the four tailed beast within his son. After he decided on this course of action he went back to his house and picked his son up he then teleported to where his wife was only to find her still tied up and dead. Steeling his heart and emotions he took his son and went to the battlefield. When Orochimaru saw Minato she asked, "Where is Kushina and why do you have my godson at a battlefield?" however she received no answer. Minato threw his kunai and teleported himself, his son and the four tailed beast away from the battlefield this upset Orochimaru who would have gone after him however the five tails was still within the village and the third Hokage had asked her to stay and help the village.

Outside the village Minato, Menma, and four tailed breast was in an empty training ground where upon looking around Minato saw that he was in training ground 44. He then summoned a large toad to battle the beast while he went through more hand seals to summon a cage to hold the beast while he sealed it's charka within his son. Minato already knew that Kurama was already placed within his son however from what he remembered he knew that the seal should be able to hold multiple tailed breasts within it. The problem was that Rōshi and his tailed beast Son Goku weren't going down easily. However, after 20 minutes of fighting the duo was placed into a cage although Minato was having a hard time containing the breast. While Minato was a fuinjutsu master he wasn't experienced at unsealing and resealing a tailed beast alone.

-Inside the seal-

Inside the seal Kurama was watching what was going on what he saw made him what to break the seal however that would kill the kit so Kurama just watched in horror.

-Back to the battlefield-

What was going on was Minato was going through hand signs to do a forbidden jutsu that should steal the charka from a jinchuriki however it would cost the target his/her life although at this point Minato didn't care.

-Minato's POV-

After finishing Minato finished his hand signs he felt a hand going through his body and felt a cold hand pulling on his soul. When he opened his eyes he saw a being however it wasn't the one he was trying to summon. Upon looking closer he noticed this being was indeed not the one called Shinigami it was something of a higher power and Minato felt it in his soul that was leaving his body.

"Yo..You're not the.. Shinigami" said Minato who was breathing hard.

"No, I am Yami the one you have summoned" replied the being named Yami smiling wickedly.

This smile unnerved the 4th Hokage however he pressed on "I need.." said Minato however he was cut off.

"Listen human I know everything I have been watching however the price for of using this jutsu requires the death of the user and the one is being used on however in return I will seal the charka of Son Goku within your son" said Yami before pulling Minato and Rōshi into her body. The being then walked to where baby Menma was at and looked at the baby smiling "Now for you I see you will be strong however I would like to see what path you take" said Yami before pouring the charka of a four tailed beast within the boy's chakra coil which changed the boy. A female figure was walking to Konoha and heard the baby crying saw that no one was around picked up the crying baby and took it to Senju/Uzumaki compound.

-In the seal-

In the seal Kurama was behind a cage and he didn't understand why or how the damn thing got here in the first place. He quickly noticed that his containers charka felt off when he looked down he noticed that his charka was sucked into a coil quickly until it stopped.

"Well, hello there" said Yami standing outside the cage.

"YOU TRIED TO KILL MY CONTAINER" yelled Kurama slamming into the cage.

"No, I only helped him his father however no" replied Yami.

"Okay you've done your job now what do you want?" questioned Kurama.

"From you nothing I don't want anything I'm just here to place a few items" said Yami holding a chibi version of Son Goku. She then proceeded to slowly place the tailed beast charka into a coil that slowly leaked out into Menma's coil turning it from green to purple. "You're giving him Son Goku charka for what?" asked Kurama. "That charka per his father's agreement now belongs to this body not the tailed beast" replied Yami as she started walking away from Kurama who was behind a cage for some reason. "Oh I almost forgot" said Yami as she threw Son Goku behind the gates "I can't get rid you of you completely however I'll come up with something before we leave". As she said this she walked away with a wicked smile planning on making arrangements to the boy she was going to enjoy watching she knew Kami and the Shinigami was going to be mad however she didn't give a fuck.

After Yami walked away Kurama took to waking his brother up to find out what the hell was going on and why he attacked Konoha. "Hey, WAKE THE HELL UP" yelled Kurama as he slapped Son Goku awake which only took a second. Once seeing the four tails eyes open he asked his question "What's the last thing you remember?". Son Goku took a moment to think clearly before answering "Last thing I remember is Rōshi and Han fighting some guy in a mask with a weird looking animal thing helping him. Wait where am I and why do I feel so weak?" asked a confused Son Goku. There was a moment of silence before giving him the horrible news "Yami has sealed your charka within this boy Menma's father in a moment of weakness used a certain forbidden jutsu causing himself and your former container to be sealed within her belly giving the boy your charka making him a tailless beast" answered Kurama. As Son Goku listened his heart slinked his best friend was gone, and his charka was taken by Yami and given to this kid, and there was a chance he may not return.

After a few moments of silence "Did guy eyes have tomoes in them?" asked Kurama.

"Yes" replied Son Goku taking on the form of his former friend. After answering Son Goku and Kurama saw someone they thought they weren't going to see ever again. "I know exactly what is going on although I cannot give you back your charka I can take you out of here" said a glowing man who was floating mid-air. "Go Son Goku' said Kurama as he threw Goku at the old man. "Well, that wasn't smart" said Yami as she walked up.

"And what are you going to do?" questioned Kurama.

"Well, While your father did may you out of charka and although I cannot kill you I can indeed replace you" commented a wicked smiling Yami. This confused Kurama at first however after a moment he realized that the evil deity meant. "You wouldn't no one would allow it I am the king of Kitsunes" replied Kurama. "Former King of Kitsune oh and enjoy your time with Menma? That's his name right? Yeah enjoy this time you have with him because in time you will be mine" said Yami before disappearing.

"Damn the kit going to definitely need me as soon as possible" saidKurama. Kurama could feel his charka slowly being pulled out of him which felt wrong he then looked around and saw large empty coils that were being filled up with potent demonic charka.

-Back in the village-

Orochimara had finally taken down Han through towards the end of the fight the man and even his tailed beast looked confused like they didn't know where they were or why they were fighting. Before Orochimara and the anbu could cuff Han Oni mask demons swarmed them and took Han leaving Konoha to deal with the rest of the strange monsters that took them a moment to deal with.

-30 minutes later-

A baby was found crying it's eyes out by a woman and two kids upon picking the baby up the women noticed he had red hair and looked like a certain person she knew very well. The women decided to take the baby with her to the Senju-Uzumaki compound but when she bent down to pick him up a fist almost connected to her face making her back up. "You look like my old teammate however she swore never to come back so just who are you?" said Orochimara with two bloody swords in her hands. "I am Tsunade dummy" said the women dropping the genjutsu when Orochimara got a good look at her face she then put the genjutsu back up. "I am sorry something is just off about the attack" said Orochimara putting her swords in their holder and hugged her friend. "What attack? what happened" questioned Tsunade.

-Ten minutes later-

Orochimara told her everything that she knew about the attack and that the fact that Kushina her student and Tsunade's 3rd cousin was killed by someone. After having a moment to grieve they looked at Menma and discussed what to do with the baby they concluded not to inform the Hokage of everything they knew. Tsunade had explained the reason she came back to the village was because of the birth of Menma and the fact that she was required to do her two years as clan head of the Uzumaki-Senju family per an agreement made after the second war.

-One hour later-

In the Senju war room, the Hiruzen and the three Sannins were discussing what happened and what they knew. Tsunade and Orochimara had already promise not to tell the man everything something was off and their sensei had had dumb moments that cost the Uzumaki, Uchiha, and Senju clans a lot of members. Depending on his and the counsel response they would proceed with certain plans if they felt the boy wouldn't be raised right.

"So, this is my godson?" asked Jiraiya walking to the baby to pick him up. "Yes" replied Hiruzen Sarutobi smiling. "No Kushina told me she didn't want this man around her baby" said Orochimara stepping in front of Jiraiya stopping the man from touching the baby. This made the toad Sannin stop in his tracks "Orochimaru move out the way and let me see my godson" said Jiraiya. "Jiraiya back up if you really care about him you would have been here to see his birth" said Tsunade. "Says the person who's in the same boat you just got here as well" said Jiraiya staring at the Senju clan head. "We are not in the same boat I am his cousin not his godmother nor godfather you were supposed to be here Godfather" replied Tsunade glaring at the pervert. "Yeah where were you during the attack?" asked a curious Hiruzen when he looked over towards Orochimara he saw she was glaring at Jiraiya as well.

"I was on my way however I didn't get here in time sorry" replied the Toad Sannin as he walked towards a random wall trying to hide. "The odd thing is that his eyes have black iris and Hazel pupils can you explained that Tsunade?" asked Hiruzen trying to save his favorite student by changing the subject. "We don't know maybe it has something to deal with two tailed beasts being placed inside of him" said Orochimaru however her tone was one of that screamed that if the 4th wasn't dead she would have killed him herself. "Wait two?" questioned the other three perplexed by what the snake Sannin said.

"Yes your dumb ass student decided to seal another tailed beast within a baby" stated Orochimaru. "Wait what do you mean two tailed beasts? the nine tails were already sealed with the boy" said Tsunade acting confused. "Tsunade, can you check the baby's health?" asked Hiruzen. "Let me take a look" said Jiraiya walking over to the baby when he placed his hand where the seal was Jiraiya couldn't make heads or tails of what he was looking at it was like the beast was sealed by something or someone else. After Jiraiya moved out the way Tsunade hovered her hands over the baby "Well for one he has larger chakra reserves than any Uzumaki I ever met" replied Tsunade. This shocked Hiruzen and Jiraiya "Anything else?" Asked Hiruzen.

"No" replied Tsunade lying. So, his name is Naruto right?" asked Jiraiya. "His name is Menma" responded Orochimaru. "What's wrong with Naruto?" asked Jiraiya a little hurt. "Are you even going to be in his life and I mean his early life?" asked Hiruzen eyeing the man. "Well, we can't give him his father's last name because too many people wanted him dead" said Jiraiya avoiding the question. "A red-haired child with the last name Namikaze would be unbelievable his last name will be Uzumaki and the Senju-Uzumaki clan will protect the boy as best we can" said Tsunade. "He's going to need around the clock protection once it's known who he is just by last name alone people will try to kidnap him just like what happened with Kushina" said Orochimaru.

"Isn't the Nara and Inuzuka clan both close to the Namikaze clan? Why not give him one of those surnames?" asked Jiraiya. "Because he's already in a clan dumbass" said Orochimaru. "Wait Tsunade you're planning to stay within the village?" asked the Hokage taking out his pipe but before he could start smoking Tsunade glared at him making him put in back up. "Unfortunately, yes however only for two years after I'll be back on the road. Where and who is his other godmother?" asked Tsunade.

"Mikoto is an Uchiha that could be a problem Jiraiya you're his Godfather what about you? " asked Hiruzen. "Well while I am his godfather however I have a spy network to work on" said Jiraiya upon finishing Orochimara fist and his face reunited dropping the man to the ground. "That has to be the weakest excuse I have ever heard you have a godson who needs you and you're going to leave him because you have a spy network that mind you doesn't work half of the time" said Orochimaru this pissed off Jiraiya who knew she was right half of the information that he got in the last few years hasn't been accurate.

"Maybe Kakashi, Rin, or Obito could help raise him he was the student of the fourth" said Jiraiya getting back up not making eye contact with his teammate. "Are you dumb? that is a dead giveaway that he's the son of Minato" said Orochimara. "That has to be one of the dumbest things you ever said you damn well know that they aren't talking and haven't since that incident" commented Tsunade. "Well, it seems like I'm not needed here good luck" said Jiraiya leaving out the window. "That damn fool this is why you should have made me Hokage none of this mess would have happened" said Orochimara. "You never had the Will Of Fire" said Hiruzen.

"Fuck you and your bullshit ass will of fire look around you old man the world is changing" said Orochimaru before she walked out away with Menma she was followed out by Tsunade. "Wait what happened to the Han?" asked Hiruzen stopping Orochimara in her tracks. "I stopped him however he got away" said Orochimara. "I'm going to place him within the bingo book" said Hiruzen. "Do as you must" said Orochimara walking away with baby Menma planning to implant something that will help him in the future.

-20 minutes later-

Every clan head was with the room waiting on their Hokage to come in and address what the hell was going on, All the clans had lost several members within their clan. Danzo himself had lost several root members he would have to replenish soon however he knew with the number of deaths that happened tonight he would have to look outside the village. When the door opened everyone the room hoping it was their beloved fourth Hokage however the person who came through was the third Hokage.

"Not trying to be rude but where is lord fourth?" asked Shikaku Nara who was looking for his cousin Minato everyone in the room was thinking the same thing. "Lord fourth has died sealing the four tails I will be taking back over as Hokage for the time being" said Hiruzen this hit Shikaku and Tsume hard although both were trying not to show though Tsume dropped a tear which she wiped quickly. Another clan head in the room knew his wife would be heartbroken knowing her former teammate and her best friend were both dead.

"Where did he seal it?" asked one of the council members but before the 3rd Hokage could respond he was interrupted by someone else. "With all due respect if the 4th Hokage sealed the beast only the 5th Hokage, advisors, and clan heads should know that information" Said Shibi Aburame. "The tailed beast was sealed within a baby no this doesn't make the baby the beast just it's jailer" said the third Hokage not listening to the man. This caused uproar with the room with people saying, "Kill the baby" and other crazy stuff however the third KI quieted the room. The Hokage kicked all the civilians out of the room leaving only the clan heads and elders in the room. All the clan heads were shaking their heads disapprovingly at Hiruzen. They agreed with Shibi statement and now they saw the impact it just caused.

"May we know who the parents were?" Asked Danzo.

"No, you may not" said Hiruzen.

"May we know who the child was?" asked Danzo.

"Again, no you may not" said Hiruzen.

"Just like a war hawk" said Tsunade.

"Oh, the princess is back" said Fugaku Uchiha.

"Shut it Uchiha" said Tsunade however the tone wasn't threating more like an old friend/rival telling their friend/ rival to shut up.

"Speaking of I heard that the Kushina unfortunately passed you have my condolences however I would like to take in the baby" said Shikaku knowing who the boy's parents are. Everyone knew that the baby's mother had to be an Uzumaki because that's the only clan that has been the jailer of the nine tails since the First Shinobi war however not everyone knew who his father was.

"Sorry but I can't allow that my wife would have me sleeping on the couch if I allowed her godson to leave here with another clan" said Fugaku Uchiha. "You can fight about that later we need to know who the container for the four tails is? That child should be raised as a good weapon for the village" said Danzo. "No, he'll be placed in the orphanage" said Hiruzen. "THE ORPHANAGE" said all the clan heads at the time looking at the Hokage like he lost his mind.

"Lord third I implore you to reconsider that is a dumb idea " said Hiashi Hyuga. "What's the boy's surname going to be?" asked Shibi Aburame.

"He is an Uzumaki" answered Hiruzen. This caused everyone to look towards Tsunade who then spoke "The container of the four tails will be raised in the Uzumaki compound until he is able to take care of himself and not a danger to himself or the village and before you ask you will not be allowed to know who she or he is".

"So, we now have two containers within the village?" asked Fugaku.

"They are humans" commented Shikaku.

"Indeed, they are however we don't know who they are nor what their names are" replied Fugaku.

"We need to speed this up our village was attacked by Iwagakure and weird demon things we need to pick a new Hokage lest we get attacked and destroyed like our former ally village Uzushiogakure." said Shikaku Nara. "Who can lead this village besides me?" Said Hiruzen slamming his fist against the table. "Anyone other than you, your decisions after the third war showed that we were in need of new leadership" said Shikaku Nara. "I agree you have proved time after time you lack the will to do the right thing we can easily pick a new Hokage for example me I would be able to lead this village to new heights" said Danzo.

"I agree Danzo would be a great 5th Hokage" said Koharu Utatane. "Isn't he the same man running the Root anbu (NE) the same anbu that Hiruzen told him disband" said Fugaku Uchiha. "I agree with Fugaku if you can't stop a man from running a secret organization how can you leading a village" said Chōza all the clan heads agreed. "So, who out of all of you could run this village better than me" asked Hiruzen.

"Shikaku the fire daimyo is fickle you and I know this to be true right now we need a leader so we need to pick the next Hokage I would like to ask Hiruzen and the elders to leave" said Inoichi. "Are you mad?" asked Koharu Utatane. "Why do we need to leave?" asked Homura Mitokado. "Because we will take a vote among ourselves and we will pick who we think should be the next Hokage and all you two are going to do is ass kiss Danzo the whole time so leave" said Shikaku. "You're making a big mistake allow me temporary leadership so I can get us out of this" said Hiruzen. "No, with all due respect you had your time you couldn't stop Danzo, you allowed the Uzumaki, Senju, and Uchiha clans to be destroyed then set up an alliance with one of the villages who helped destroy Uzushiogakure " said Shibi.

-5 minutes later-

After the Elders and Hiruzen left the room every clan head besides one gave their opinion on who should be the next Hokage. They weren't allowed to vote for themselves however they did have to give context on why they were voting for the person they chose.

"The village needs a strong leader but also needs a leader who can lead us into the future so what that being said I vote for Shibi he is one the smartest person I've ever met and his clan just like mine lean on family " said Tsume Inuzuka.

"Thank you Tsume-Chan" said Shibi Aburame.

"While I agree with that if we're talking smart and strong I think wicked eye Fugaku whose name alone just like Minato got him a run-on sight order that's my pick for the next Hokage" said Chōza this shocked a few people in the room who thought he was going to vote for his friend.

"My vote goes to Shikaku Nara who is the best choice. He is the leader of the anbu and commander during war time the smartest guy besides me and Shibi" said Inoichi.

"What's that supposed to mean?" asked Fugaku.

"Do you have an IQ of around 160?" Asked Inoichi.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Asked Fugaku this unknowingly loss him a vote.

"You can have all the power in the world however if your always outsmarted then you'll never win a war only small battles" replied Inoichi.

"That is what you call a power play" Said Tsume.

"My vote is just like Tsume goes to Shibi during the last war he showed great leadership and I believe he would be a great leader" said Shikaku.

"My choice is Tsume. I believe given the opportunity she would be a great leader" said Fugaku.

"As much as I would like to vote for Tsume I believe Shikaku wanted be slightly a better Hokage because of the knowledge he already knows" said Shibi.

"My vote goes to Shikaku as well for the same reasons discussed earlier" said Hiashi.

"Well, I see we have a new Hokage congratulations Shikaku Nara the 5th Hokage" said Hiashi.

Shikaku moved from his clan head seat to the Hokage seat. The elders weren't allowed back into the room Shikaku told the anbu to inform them that they will be replaced and to thank them for their service. Shikaku knew he would have to find new advisors that would help the village and he already had one in mind.

"Once we find out who the baby is it'll be an SSS-ranked secret and he is not to be told until he hits Chunin rank" said Shikaku.

"But we don't know who the baby is" said Tsume confused.

"Does anyone know?" asked Shikaku.

"Shit should I tell them? I don't think I should given the response earlier however if they ask Hiruzen he is going to tell them SHIT" thought Tsunade trying to come up with a plan. That's when she came up with a dope plan "I know who the baby is however I will only tell the Hokage keep the secret SSS-ranked" said Tsunade mentally patting herself on the back however this statement caused a small outrage.

"We have a right to know" said Tsume.

"Yeah" said most of the clan heads backing her up.

"After what happened earlier I don't think so" replied Tsunade.

"He's a great asset to the village" said Inoichi.

"You sounded just like Danzo" stated Tsunade. This silence the room they knew Danzo was a wicked man the clan heads never knew why Hiruzen didn't stop the man from doing his evil work. After a few awkward minutes the 5th Hokage decided to speak up "Tsunade the clan heads need to know for the safety of the village".

"I am willing to discuss this with you in private" replied the Senju-Uzumaki clan leader. "One of my members that Orochimara is within the village and they saw her within the Uzumaki compound" said Shibi. "Wait did you say Orochimara?" asked Inoichi. "Didn't she do experiments on kids?" added Chōza. "Danzo the leader of root and a former elder of the village ordered her to do it Hiruzen as well enforce these experiments" said Tsunade defending her friend and teammate. "Also speaking of Orochimara she is the same person who came here and protected the village."

"That brings up the question of why she near the tailed beast containers?" asked Shibi.

"She isn't allowed within the village and technically my compound isn't within Konoha" replied Tsunade. This earned the woman some distasteful looks however she didn't care "Look you guys were just attacked by demons and Iwagakure ninjas the village is weak at the moment I have a clan to help run so let's get back on topic".

"How long will you be in the village?" asked Fugaku.

"I wouldn't be here long as a Sannin I am allowed to leave and come back as much as I want however due to an agreement between the Senju and Uzumaki I have business to take care of" said Tsunade. When no one responded she got up "Thanks, I'll be leaving now to get the baby" said Tsunade getting up and leaving the room "If I have my say you wouldn't know a thing about him" thought Tsunade.

"We will need to talk about this later Senju" said Fugaku.

"Bite me Uchiha" replied Tsunade.

"Before you go I'll need to see you in my office later" said Shikaku.

"Yeah yea" said Tsunade leaving the room.

Once Tsunade left Tsume turned to the Hokage "We need to know who the container is so we can protect our kids" said Tsume.

"Also, we don't know how long Tsunade will be in the village losing a future ninja like him would hurt the village" said Fugaku.

"Once I am informed I will tell you however this will be an SSS-ranked secret" said Shikaku.

-In the Uzumaki-Senju compound-

In a room a female Uzumaki and male Senju member were making love unknowingly they're child would be blessed with a special friend.

-Meanwhile with Orochimara-

Orochimara and Menma were in the medical room within the compound. Orochimara had some knowledge on Fuinjutsu however she didn't know what was going on with her grandson's seal nor did she know why it was glowing. She was waiting for her best friend to come back so she could find out what happened in the room and a part of her knew that the civilians would do or say something stupid. Upon returning to the compound Tsunade told her everything that happened as she did a full scan on the baby not finding anything weird.

"I didn't ask earlier however who are the two kids you have with you?" questioned Orochimara.

"His name is Tenzo and the girl's name is Shizune" said Tsunade pointing at the kids.

"Nice to meet you" said Orochimara who smiled at the teens in front of her however she felt like she saw his face before.

"It'll take 20 minutes to do his physical then you can take him out of here" said Tsunade.

"Wait I thought you were going to keep him here?" questioned Orochimara.

"If he stays here they may try to harm him plus Danzo wants him I don't feel he'll be safe within the village" said Tsunade whose hands were glowing green scanning on the baby she then proceeded to get his weight and height.

"What's his name?" asked Tenzo pointing at the baby on the table. "His name is Menma" replied Orochimara. "You know you're going to have to leave soon where will you go?" asked Tsunade. "I have my own village I will be taking Menma with me to train so that he's not treated like other jinchurikis" said Orochimara. "If he is who I think he is the Uzumaki clan will hunt you down for him" said Tenzo. "Tenzo don't say that" said Tsunade who was a little shocked. "I'm just telling the truth I've been here for a while you two have been gone" stated the young teen. "Well, Tenzo they won't know the truth only the Uzumaki members" said Orochimara. "Well, he has a lot of damn charka but other than that he's healthy" said Tsunade as she handed the baby back to Orochimara. "Well, I must be going" said Orochimaru. "I thought we were going to leave next week?' asked Anko who walked in the room. "No sweetheart we will be leaving as soon as possible" replied Orochimara. "Well, who is this?" asked Tsunade smiling at the girl. "This is Anko Mitarashi a child that was homeless until today I'll be taking her with me" said Orochimara.

"You just taking kids left and right aren't ya?" questioned Tsunade however her tone and face didn't sound friendly. "It's not like that" replied Orochimara. "Okay but I'm watching you" said Tsunade in a playful tone. "Bye" said Orochimara and Anko as they took baby Menma and left.

-Three hours later in the Hokage tower-

Shikaku, Tsunade, and one the newest elder Sakumo Hatake was in the new Hokage's office since during the attack the old office was destroyed. To Shikaku it made no sense that certain buildings that were attacked are still intact while other important buildings only had certain rooms that were destroyed.

"I'm guessing Sakumo is one of your appointed elders?" questioned Tsunade making small talk.

"Well yes and hopefully after you're done finishing you requested two years as the Senju-Uzumaki clan head you'll be one as well" said the 5th Hokage.

"As I told people before as soon as I'm done I'll be back to gambling" said Tsunade who pulled out cards and started dealing them.

"I'm not playing another card game again you and your luck" said Sakumo pushing the cards away.

"My luck saved your ass and got you married" said Tsunade.

"To an Inuzuka member" said Sakumo pulling down his sheeves showing off some scars that he got in a fight with one of his wife's family.

"Anyways we are here because you have information that is much needed" said Shikaku eying the woman.

"Is this going to an SSS-rank secret?" asked Tsunade as she put her cards back up.

"Yes indeed it will be" said Shikaku looking the woman in the eyes however her eyes showed something that said she didn't trust him.

"Due to Uzumaki laws I can't inform you of his or her identity as for the container of the four tailed beast I honestly don't know" said Tsunade.

Shikaku and Sakumo both looked at each other than towards Tsunade that's when a question popped in Shikaku mind however he didn't ask it he just pass over a scroll. Taking it Tsunade looked at the man and found Nara clan jutsus "Why are you handing me scrolls that the Nara's use?" asked Tsunade.

Shikaku got up and walked closer to Tsunade who got up and now they were standing face to face "Look I was in the room I am a parent and I know if my child was in danger I would get him or her out of there I watched you during that meeting earlier the baby will be allowed to be raised outside the village however he or she will need to be returned in ten years so they can enter the ninja academy" said Shikaku.

Just then there was a knock on the door Sakumo told the person to come in and when the door opened two people in a dog and cat mask were standing there. "Tsunade-hime, father, Commander good afternoon what happened?" asked the man in the dog mask.

"Well good afternoon I'm the Hokage now" replied the 5th Hokage.

"What happened to Lord 4th?" asked the Cat mask anbu member while the dog mask anbu slowly getting worried about what the new Hokage was going to say.

"I am sorry Kakashi you and Yugao will need to remove your mask" said Shikaku.

Both anbu members were shocked that their names were used and the fact that they were asked to remove their mask. "Hokage-sama I don't think with what we have going on at the moment we should remove any anbu members" said Sakumo who was trying to help his son.

"Sakumo the Hatake clan only as three members there's you, you son Kakashi and now his wife Yugao at the moment we need all future clan heads to be within the village" replied the Hokage looking at his elder.

"So, what are you saying Hokage-sama?" asked Tsunade kind of confused.

"For now, we will rebuild and lock down the village for the holidays and then on new year's day will be back to doing A and S-rank missions however that we give us two months to get stronger" said the Hokage.

"Question where is the baby?" asked Kakashi looking at everyone in the room however both the elder and Hokage looked towards Tsunade indicating she knew.

"As clan head of the Uzumaki-Senju clan I cannot give you that information without repercussions" stated Tsunade.

"Can I watch over him or her?" asked Kakashi Hatake.

"You mean WE" said Yugao who was a student of Kushina.

"You two clearly aren't thinking clearly so I'm ordering you to go rest for a week no ninja duty" said Shikaku pointing to the door. The husband-and-wife duo both put back on their mask and body flickered out the room. "Damn it I should've taken those masks oh well I'll get em later" said Shikaku sitting back at his desk.

"Well, Hokage you got work to get to and so do I so I'll see you later" said Tsunade leaving the room.

"Are you sure we can trust Orochimara?" Questioned Sakumo.

"At the moment there is nothing we can do without losing more ninjas" said Shikaku.

"Indeed, now let's get to work on rebuilding a better village" said Sakumo putting out a map of the old Konoha.

-Menma's life between 1-3 years old -

During Menma's first three years he was loved by everyone who met him although at times he came off a little weird because of his eyes and the fact he seeks knowledge just like Orochimara. People thought this was weird because to them a kid his age should be outside having fun and playing. Another thing that was off about the boy was his love for bloody meat to him it was tasted better then cooked meat however he wasn't often allowed to eat it since it freaked Anko who usually watched him out. While out in the Land of Rice and Grass Orochimara had found some more Uzumaki member and sent most of them to Konoha to live since that was given a compound within the village however some of them decide that they would stay and help raise the young Uzumaki to be a strong future leader.

-Menma's life between 4-6 years old -

Year Four: Orochimara had talked to the remaining Uzumaki member who was in the Land of Rice to see how they would feel about her doing a 100% proof experiment of Menma. At first they looked at the woman as if she was crazy and was ready to use their many experienced years on fuinjutsu to take down the snake Sannin. However, after listening and looking at the boy's seal on him they allowed her to go through with it. Taking into consideration of the old wise Uzumakis advice she give Menma the chromosomes of two warriors one being the 3rd Kazekage with his magnet release and the other being the 1st Hokage with his wood release techniques. Because of this Menma was stuck inside a pod for a whole year Anko HIGHLY disagreed with this action however after being told the Uzumaki clan approved it she had to deal with it. Unknowingly Yami had already blessed the boy with a few kekkei genkais wanting her favorite character on her new favorite show to be entertaining.

During his long sleep the small group of Uzumaki members had gone and exchanged something for some of the Hero water that the young Menma Uzumaki was going to need in the future. While in the pod Menma's DNA had changed resulting in him almost dying. However, because his body was already in a healing pod they were able to stabilize his health. A full year later when Menma had woken up he had seemed fine however there had been one or two incidents where he had blackout and killed some people who had turned out to be spies Orochimara had discovered Menma was sensor and a powerful one at that. Once Orochimara notified the small Uzumaki group that Menma had woken up they had taken the boy to teach him the history of the Uzumaki clan, their jutsus, and their culture. However, the main thing they taught him was Fuinjutsu however being that he was only five they didn't push too hard.

One day while playing Menma had ran into two people that he felt had almost the same charka as him for some reason these two being Ginkaku and Kinkaku two people Orochimaru brought back from the dead using Edo Tensei. When he asked why they had similar charka as him Ginkaku explained how they ate the part of the nine tails belly which Menma didn't like at all for some reason not knowing the Kurama was influencing him to dislike the brothers. Orochimaru had the two brothers talk about their ninja career with Menma. They told him old war stories and about ninja life what Menma didn't know was that Orochimaru had forced them to answer all the questions Menma wanted to ask. She wanted him to be comfortable with the two and seeing as he had a habit of blacking out attacking people she wanted them to talk to the boy and find out what was causing this problem since they couldn't die if he attacked them.

Year Six: Most of this year Menma did physical, mental, and spiritual training. He also was being taught to control his breathing. He didn't understand it completely however his Uzumaki teachers all told him that this was important for his survival. In the next two years the Uzumaki members had planned to teach the young boy in the arts of Taijutsu, Fuinjutsu, Bukijutsu, Genjutsu, Kenjutsu, Medical Ninjutsu, and most importantly Ninjutsu. On Menma's sixth birthday he had met Tsunade, Tenzo and a few members of the surviving Senju-Uzumaki members. At this same party he had met Karin and Tayuya Uzumaki the two girls he had seen around the village however for some reason they were usually at the hospital for chakra exhaustion from the training they receive. Upon seeing the boy Tsunade knew something was wrong or different about the boy after pressing the snake Sannin she had finally cracked. Orochimara had taken Tsunade out the house she and Menma lived in to explain what happened and once she was done explain she had felt Tsunade's fist connect to her face sending the woman flying. Orochimara's guard immediately tried to stop the slug Sannin however was thrown out the way however before she could keep walking toward the woman she was wrapped in chains by two Uzumaki members those being Karin and Tayuya. This made Tsunade stop walking out of shock that two kids had unlocked their Kekkei Genkai at a young age however after a minute the chains disappeared showing they wasn't trained on how their kekkei genkai.

At that moment many Uzumaki members who were in the city and the ones that were visiting showed up to the area thinking someone was attacking. When the Uzumaki members asked what was going on Tsunade said it was something they should talk about tomorrow. A few hours later Orochimara, Tsunade, and every adult from the party were in a townhall meeting discussing the event and a certain member Uzumaki. After going into details on Menma upbringing Orochimara informed them that she had given him Senju DNA this didn't go over well with any Senju members.

"Why the hell would you give a child the DNA of our dead clansman" said Grandma JoJo. She was one of the older Senju members who over the last few years tried to rebuild the clan however in her old age she couldn't bear a child. "I was doing what was best for the child knowing what he could possibly have a huge target on his back" replied Orochimara.

"Lord Orochimara have you never noticed that no one else in the clan can use mokuton nowhere near the level of Hashirama not even Tsunade's son Tenzo?" asked Benga who was the nephew of JoJo. However, before she could answer Shi Uzumaki who was the leader of the Sound village Uzumaki clan spoke "I ask you for forgiveness after a long discussion with Orochimara we found that Menma isn't a normal boy he has the potential to be greater than any ninja that we have seen before".

"As the leader of the Uzumaki in the leaf village I must ask you to provide proof" said Kota. Kota was a fairly older man in his mid-40's, he had red hair like most of his member and was wearing a standard Uzumaki armor and uniform. Immediately the man to the left of Shi took out a scroll and handed it to Benga who looked at for a second before accepting it "When we looked at his seal it wasn't one of ours it was one of a higher power our thought is that the young Namikaze member screwed up and summoned a different deity" said the man that was known as Tsubasa the right hand of Shi.

"From this report he has the four tails?" questioned a female Uzumaki from Konoha who looked confused at the statement. "That's impossible the four tails is sealed within a boy in Konoha" answered JoJo. This statement confused and shocked both Orochimara and Tsunade "Wait I was there I saw the beast sealed within my grandson" said Orochimara. "And I did multiple tests on him Menma is a tailless tail beast who has two tailed beasts sealed within him" added Tsunade.

"Well, whatever I guess the young Naruto was blessed because he holds half of the four tails" said Benga. "Wait how is Naruto?" commented Tsunade who had left the village last year not knowing of this young boy "Naruto Uzumaki-Senju is one of the kids that was born a month after Menma thought his father and mother died please don't ask how because we don't know they just disappeared and the boy is a little creepy" replied Benga.

"This is definitely news" said Orochimara as she rubbed her temples feeling a headache coming in.

"Wait so other then the Kekkei genkais you give him how many does he have?" questioned a random Uzumaki member.

"Honestly we have no idea we have been training him on how to be a proper Uzumaki member everything else will be taught later" answered Orochimara. Before anyone of the Konoha side could ask anything else Shi spoke up "From what I know and have heard the other villages are hunting Uzumaki members I understand you disagree with what I did however for the sake of my apprentice and future Kage I will do anything I will give him the life his mother wanted him to have".

"Last time I was in Konoha there were more members within the combined clan as I look around the room there are less of you and I made sure to invite every Senju and Uzumaki member" stated Orochimara. This earned the woman glares from most of the people in the room however all of them held their tongue since they were the last of the bloodline seeing as no one besides Kushina has been able to bear a child something Tsunade was researching seeing as the Uzumaki live long and age slightly slower than everyone else. A quarter of the people of the room felt happy to know that the future of their clan was in good hands, another quarter felt that this was wrong and that the boy should be taken be to the leaf village, the third quarter felt that boy would be weak since he was given his power and didn't earn it, and the last quarter was scared of what else the woman had or would do to make sure Menma had a good life to them the woman sounded crazy.

"We'll then if that is the case we have much to discuss" said Shi.

-Timeskip-

Over the last four months the Uzumaki clan older members within the Land of Rice were slowly dying off from old age. During the invasion the younger ninjas of the Uzushiogakure stayed back to fight against the invading force. All those who remained had taken those who died to the former village to give them a proper burial however none of them had returned yet which sadden Menma, Karin, Karin and five young kids. The Kinkaku and Ginkaku had taken the boy outside the village today they were going to unlock his charka because from what they knew he never used it. After being told how to do it the boy searched for a good minute and started pulling on his charka which was good however the bad part was how potent his charka was scaring many animals and people within a ten-mile radius. When Orochimara felt this charka from her office and started to smile apart of her was planning on spoiling the boy with a certain gift. After five minutes both brothers knew that the boy would need to do charka control exercises. However, while Menma was pulling on his charka they noticed something off Menma charka wasn't red It was purple meaning he wasn't pulling on the nine tails charka as they had thought. After unlocking his charka his body felt like it was on fire but cold at the same time it was strange but calming at the same time. Opening his eyes, the world looked like it was moving a bit slower than usual. He then passed out and was caught by Ginkaku who was looking at his brother "Did you see that" he asked. "I did the boy has a Dojutsu but I have never seen that one before have you?" asked Kinkaku. "No, I don't think anyone has" his brother responded as he placed the boy down.

-Menma's life 7-9 years old-

Age Seven: The sound village had been growing Orochimaru had allowed nuke ninjas or ninjas who were looking for a home. A few clans also joined the village those being the Chinoike clan, the Fuma clan, and the Kumanoi clan. During this year a few members of the Uzumaki clan had been hunted down and killed while outside their villages. Two months later Shikaku convinced Tsunade and Orochimara to allow him and his family to spend time Menma. After getting approval Shikaku had sent Kakashi, his wife Yugao, Mikoto and a squad of anbu to the meeting point to retrieve Menma. However, on the way there they encountered a battle between Iwagakure and Takigakure ninjas which led to them having to battle leading to every ninja involved dying. Once getting Menma they had informed Tsunade that everything was good however that turned out to be a deadly lie. On their way back the group had been attacked by two groups and Menma had been kidnapped during the fighting. A few members had been killed and Mikoto had been stabbed in the spleen when they had notice Menma was gone Kakashi immediately called for backup which was in the form of Itachi and Shisui Uchiha. After looking for the boy for hours the group had to take the injured back to the village and report to the Hokage that Menma had been taken. This event caused problems between a few groups: Konoha and Iwagakure however Konoha couldn't afford to go to war since they were still weak from the attack, Takigakure and Iwagakure had problems because they believed they were set up for their members to be killed after accepting an alliance between the two, and lastly Orochimara and Tsunade no longer trusted Konoha because when they found the boy he was covered in blood and the bodies around him were Root (NE) ninjas who are under Danzo.

When they got to the village gates Shikaku personally came to greet the young boy but upon seeing no kid with them the Hokage asked what happened. Kakashi and Yugao had informed the Hokage of what happened during the mission and he was immediately pissed and told the two he expected a full detailed report on the fuck up before leaving and having his Anbu members to go grab some Nara members. Two weeks later Orochimara had sent a detailed letter demanding Menma's inheritance and five scrolls threatening that if he didn't send the required items she would leak information that would damage the village's image. When Shikaku got the letter he was confused at first into reading the letter a few more times and realized that Menma was still alive which made him smile. However, once that thought was processed he had his anbu call for a meeting between the Nara, Inuzuka, and Uzumaki clan to discuss what Orochimara was demanding. After ten long hours of discussing what they had decided to not only send his inheritance they also sent all of Kushina's royal Uzumaki scrolls and money, three Nara scrolls and five Nara members, and lastly two Inuzuka scrolls and five Inuzuka members to live and protect the boy.

Another relationship that was affected was the one between Orochimara and Tsunade. The Otokage blamed Tsunade for the incident but what really upset her was the fact that Menma was almost send back to a village that would have probably tried to kidnap him or even worse. Orochimara had let Tsunade know that if she wanted to spend time with the boy she would have to do it in Otogakure. Orochimara didn't have to wait long for a respond from Konoha which didn't surprise her what threw her off was the fact that five Nara and Inuzuka members had showed up with a batch of scrolls and demanded to stay and protect young Menma. Orochimara first thought was HELL NO because they were originally from Konoha however after reading a contract signed between Menma's parents and both clans she had no choice but to allow them to fulfill their clan leaders agreement though she would keep an eye on them.

-Timeskip-

A few months later Orochimara and Menma took a trip to Sunagakure. Menma wasn't the biggest fan of the desert or the heat however he made a friend named Gaara who was also a Jinchuriki and was one of the of the current Kazekage Rasa kids. While having a discussion Orochimara had offered Rasa a deal he couldn't refused and in exchanged she wanted him to train Menma to use his magnet release which shocked Rasa and his advisors learning that someone else had the same kekkei genkai as he and his children. At first the Kazekage refused to teach the boy but once the Otokage had informed the man that she knew that his youngest child mother was a Uzumaki that was killed due to a bad seal and if this information was to spilled Sunagakure would be in deadly trouble. Rasa wasn't one to be easily scared however he knew that a few Uzumaki members like Sasori who is a half Uzumaki would be a problem to deal with if this information leaked. After thinking about it for a long moment Rasa agreed to teach the boy and exchange the Sound village would form an alliance with them in case Kumogakure or Iwagakure tried to attack them seeing as both had taken over small villages recently. After spending six months of training Menma had gotten a handle on his magnet and had made a new friend and a rival within Gaara. Rasa thought the boy had some real talent since Menma had the ability to use his gold sand however he wasn't as good as Rasa was with it.

Age Eight: Orochimara had made a decision to take Menma to the Land of Iron so he could get training with Kenjutsu since next year she would start training the boy. After not being able to find a samurai to train Menma she had turn to ronin samurais to train him however in return she had to promise them land in her village which she had no problem with. The group had decided to call themselves the Yokai clan because of their skills and the way that didn't make sound when they walk or run. (Author's Note: Yokai means Ghost in Japanese). The Yokai clan had taught Menma the basics and through this training they had learned that the boy had Swift release something that was surprising to learn however Orochimara and the clan head of the Yokai had decided that before he did anymore Kenjutsu he should work of his kekkei genkai lest he keep running into trees. When people in Otogakure discovered out the boy had the Swift kekkei genkai they started thinking about the annual race that happened every year on Muscle Island to found out who's the fastest person on the planet last year's winner was Might Gai the green beast of Konoha. As crazy as it sounds one out of twenty people had this kekkei genkai making it common but half of them had either died from accidents while training, completely decided not to use it, or only used it to get back and forth from places.

Age Nine: After almost a complete two full years the two Sannins had sat down and Tsunade had apologized for not talking to her about sending Menma to Konoha. Tsunade had told her that Shikaku wanted to do right by Minato and his son the man even got on his hands and knees begging to see the boy. The snake Sannin had told her friend that she forgives her for what she did and that she would think about allowing Shikaku to come by himself to Otogakure to see the boy. While going into details about how they have been since they seen each other Tsunade had asked her the Nara and Inuzuka members that she had seen earlier to which Orochimara explained the whole law bidding contract between Menma's parents and both clans something Tsunade understood since her clan had them as well. When Tsunade asked where Menma was at she was informed that he, Karin, Tayuya, and Anko were sent to the Land of Water to find a man named Utakata. The man is a former ninja of the Kirigakure however he and his assistant had decided to travel without permission and now both were labeled as a missing nins but in the bingo book it says "DO NOT KILL REQUIRED ALIVE" even the money on the man's head was low with little to no information. When asked why she sent a teenager and three kids to find a man that was in the bingo book Orochimara answer was one that many parents give "I need some ME time".

Little did Orochimara know this would be a bad move going forward. During their travel the group had ran into Yagura Karatachi the fourth Mizukage however the man didn't attack them and even offered them a free place to stay for the night. The group saw nothing wrong with this and agreed but upon making it to the hotel Anko summoned a snake to tell Orochimaru what happened. The next morning the kids were told that they wouldn't be allowed to leave the hotel until their parents or Kage came to get them. Three days later Orochimara and Yagura was sitting in his office they had discussed the topic of her ninjas being in Land Of Water they had also talked about how Yagura knew that the three kids are Uzumaki members and wanted them to become Kirigakure ninjas. Orochimara immediately refused however Yagura told her that by blood right the Seven Ninja Swords belonged to them. However, without proper training they wouldn't be able to use them. He also knew that one of them had to be the jinchuriki for the nine tails and since the three tails was telling him the boy had an unusually high level of charka for a child.

Orochimara knew that she didn't have a real leg to stand on and that if she didn't agree there could be problems since the man and his anbu saw the faces of all three kids. However, before she could answer Yagura told her to think about it and that they would talk about it in detail later. Upon making to the hotel the group finally saw their leader however they knew something was up so she asked them for their input on the subject. Menma had told her that he would like to stay here and train because he felt like he would be trained harder and the fact that he could become one of the Seven ninja Swordsmen. Anyone who knew Menma knew he wanted one or all of those swords since his clan did make them and the ones who did was killed a during the Second Shinobi War. Karin had decided she wanted to stay with Menma as she was his right hand and future advisor when he became Kage of Uzushiogakure a dream she, Menma, Tayuya and the other Uzumakis had. Tayuya however unlike her friends wanted to go back to Otogakure because she hated how cold it was in Kirigakure.

A few days later Orochimara, Menma, and Karin were in the Mizukage office where she had made a deal with Yagua which led to a trade alliance between the two. When Menma introduced himself and Karin to Yagura the man had gained a deep smile he had told the boy that he would personally take on the job of training Menma. The Otokage was sad to know that her grandson as she called him wouldn't be around as much as she would like however she knew that he was in good hands and that she would be able to still see him. When Orochimara, Anko, and Tayuya made it to the gates she had reminded Menma to remember what she told him and that if he ever felt like Kiri wasn't treating him right he could come back home. (Author's Notes: If you haven't put two and two together Orochimara is spoiling Menma like if she could give him the world she would).

-Timeskip-

A month later Orochimara had informed the council that her grandson would be taught in Kirigakure. This news wasn't best received however as she is his legal guardian they had no choice in the matter. When asked what they would do about a tailed beast she replied that in the event they needed one she had alliances with two villages with two tailed beasts. She had informed them to keep an eye out for the man named Utakata because he is the container of the six tails and she wanted it. When the 5th Hokage got this terrible news a small part of him was happy to hear some news about the boy however another part of him was upset since he was promised that the child would return. When the news got out that Menma wasn't going to return to the village there was a huge celebration that the demon container was gone never to come back however this party was shut down by the many clans within the village. Speaking of said clans this news didn't go over well with them because even though it was almost ten years ago the village was still crippled mentally, physically, and financially. The Uzumaki-Senju clan head wasn't happy with this news and wanted to send someone to get him however the Uzumaki side of the clan agreed that it was best for him not to be raised in this village since people were out to kill him. Shikaku had sent a letter tell Orochimaru that the boy's father came from a civilian family since the Namikaze wasn't seen as a clan In the hidden leaf and due to that fact his money had been given to the village however he gave Menma all of Minato's scrolls.

- Menma's life years 10 and 11-

Year Ten: Menma and Karin had bought a small house within the village. It had three rooms, two bathrooms, a medium size kitchen, and a decent size back yard. Over the last two years both had become fur-parents Menma had come across a saber tooth tiger and a pack of wolf cubs that had lost their parents to hunters while Karin had found two foxes near the Land Of Fire. One night while sleeping in his bed he felt pulled deeper into his subconscious and when he looked around he saw a huge forest with strange-looking trees. While looking around he heard something calling his name so he followed the voice until he reached a gate that had a large fox with nine tails behind it however the kitsune was a good distance away. Before he could open or even touch the gate someone called out to him.

"Finally, you're here I thought you would never come" said the man.

"Umm who the hell are you?" questioned Menma on why the man was here and who he was.

"I'm nobody kid I'm just here to tell you what Yami-sama wanted you to know" said the man who called himself "Nobody".

"Well Mr. Nobody what does Yami-sama want me to know" asked the spoiled brat.

"You have been blessed with a few bloodlines and two dojutsus" said Mr. Nobody as he started walking off.

"Which ones?" asked Menma.

"Kami why me of all people?" asked the being as he pulled out a book. "As far a dojutsus it doesn't say however you have been blessed with the following: Explosion, Demonic Ice, Boil, and Scorch bloodlines you should be careful you could easily kill someone" said Mr. Nobody as he disappeared.

"How do I use these?" asked Menma to no one however someone answered.

"Well, if it isn't my vessel nice to officially meet you" said a giant fox.

"Your Kurama right? Nice to meet you" said Menma who held out a fist.

"Kit why aren't you scared?" asked Kurama as he pounded the fist with his paw.

"I'm a Royal Uzumaki sadly the last one and apparently Yami-sama has blessed me" replied Menma.

"Kit I have bad news she cursed you don't ask me how I know just trust me" said Kurama trying not to think about Son Goku.

"You're talking about the other tailed beast that is connect to my charka it's dying right?" questioned Menma.

"Yes how did you know? No, the other tailed beast is gone" answered Kurama.

"I heard my grandmother talking out it they called me a tail-less tailed beast and what do you mean it's gone?" replied Menma.

"He was saved by my father however you have four tails of charka" said Kurama.

"Wait what does that mean?" asked the confused boy.

"Meaning your charka reserves are that of a four tailed charka beast on top of the charka you'll be getting from me you'll definitely be a menace to society though this also comes with the downside of you always needing to do charka control in the event that you even take a day off you could lose control of your charka" informed Kurama.

"Well, I'm sorry about your brother however I will honor him and put his charka to good use" replied Menma. He then looked at the gate and tore it down changing the landscape into an open field. He then turned to Kurama "We need to discuss things" said Menma.

-The next day-

Menma and Karin were allowed into the civilian academy where they were required to do two years before taking the ninja academy entry test. Menma was top of his class in education however when it came to physical academics he wasn't middle of the class he didn't really want to hurt people ever since that day. After thinking about what his grandmother and cousin would do about killing and violence he realized that it was the lifestyle of a ninja. After thinking about this Menma no longer held back. This didn't make him top of his class however it did help him gain access to take the exams to enter Kirigakure ninja academy. It took two attempts before Menma had passed and earned his spot within the academy. However, now he needed to go to Otogakure to grab his inheritance.

-Time skip-

In December, the Mizukage had sent Menma and a group of ninjas to Otogakure to receive what rightfully belonged to Menma. I had taken Menma and Karin a day and a half to get to the ports so they could head towards the land of fire which was near the Sound Village. Early in the morning three ronin who were watching the gate saw a group of people walking their way at first they thought it was a group of Jonins coming back for a small mission however when they looked closer at the group they noticed that they didn't have sound headbands on.

In the front of the group was a young tan skin boy, he was wearing a white fur coat although it was hanging off of him, a black shirt which has the Uzumaki swirl, he was wearing black anbu pants that had designs on them and a few tears below the knees, through the pant you could see black bandages on his legs and ankles, and on his face he had on a weird mask that showed only his eyes. What was definitely noticed was the fact that he and the person next to him had red hair however the boy had some black highlight. The person next to him was wearing white PJ's like she was still in bed. A thought was shared between the three that girl had to be carried most of the trip because the group stopped so she could put ninja slides on.

-Timeskip-

Once getting to the gates the three ronin asked the young teen to remove his mask, which Menma did upon seeing his face they welcomed him home and told him that Lord Orochimara would want to see him immediately. The other three people that were with them were told to remain at the gate seeing as they didn't know who they were however Menma told the gate guards that these were his loyal friends so they were escorted to the Otokage.

-10 Minutes later-

During the ten-minute walk to the tower the people on the streets started to point and talk about the group that was being walked in by anbu members. Very few knew who he was while most others thought the boy was of royalty. After a ten-minute walk they had finally made it to the tower, got past the lady at the front desk, and now were in the office. When Orochimaru saw who was in her office was delighted however she didn't like what the boy did to his hair Menma now was rocking med length Viking locs which allude to the fact that the boy hardly washed his hair. The boy also wore the same earrings as his grandmother and cousin Anko but unlike them the boy had two unusually large wolves to his left and right. She then noticed Karin and a few other humans were with him.

"Welcome back home Menma and Karin as for the rest of you welcome to Otogakure" said the Otokage smiling at the group.

"Greeting Otokage-dono/ Hey grandmother" said the group.

"Please introduce yourselves" said Otokage already knowing partly who they were from the letters Menma sent her.

"My name is Suigetsu Hōzuki" said the one behind the group. Suigetsu is a lean-built young man of average height, straight white hair with a light-blue tint to it in the anime, almond shaped purple eyes, he has pointed teeth. He is wearing a purple, sleeveless shirt with blue pants, sandals, and a belt around his waist with water bottles attached to it.

"Hey, I'm Akiko Hoshigaki protector of Menma-sama" said Akiko who was standing on Menma's right. Angel stood 5'2, has golden skin, has light blue eyes, naturally a blonde but changed it to jet black since it looked better, and she wore light red full body armor that had two long swords on the back. Her clan had tried getting the girl to wear a different color or just a different outfit while in the field however she was daredevil and wanted to be known as "The Red Death".

Lowering his face mask "I'm Menma Uzumaki-Hoshigaki" stated Menma. This shocked Orochimaru and Karin who both didn't know this information.

"Uzumaki and Hoshigaki you're going to be a problem" said Lord Orochimara with a fake smile in the back of her mind she was only hoping that the boy hadn't changed that much.

"How do you mean?" asked Suigetsu.

"The Senju and Uzumaki clans distant blood cousins and the Hoshigaki clan are one of the deadliest clans to come out of Kirigakure" answered Menma. This shocked most of the people in the room however then someone spoke up "As a member of the Hoshigaki clan we do damage" said Akiko smiling with her shark teeth.

"As much as I love seeing you I must ask what brought you here?" asked Lord Orochimara.

"I am here for my inheritance" said Menma with stars in his eyes. "Therein lies a problem" said Orochimara getting up and walking over towards a safe. "What do you mean grandma?" asked Menma eyeing his grandmother. "Tell me everything you know Konoha and your parents" questioned Orochimara turning around and looking at Menma as he put his hand down. Taking on a thinking pose Menma had thought about all the information he knew then listed them out "I only know a few things about Konoha and my family history, I know my mother is Kushina Uzumaki, I know my father came from a clan called the Namikaze.." said Menma before being interrupted. "The Namikaze aren't a clan in Konoha's eyes" said the woman unlocking the safe. There was silence in the room and it took a minute however once it clicked Menma eyes flashed a crimson red until he felt a hand on his shoulder which caught his attention.

"Wait Lord Orochimara didn't the Namikaze clan have allies with the Inuzuka, Nara, and Hatake clan which brought them to Konoha?" asked Karin. This made the Otokage smile knowing that the Uzumaki clan had a bright future and that her grandson had competition for future Uzushiokage. "Indeed, that is the reason" She answered. "So, you're saying that they didn't give Menma what rightfully belongs to him?" asked Akiko. "That is exactly what I'm saying since his was seen as a civilian with no family left alive so his items went to the civilians though I have a few things from him however from your mother's side you are very well set up" said Orochimara.

"I'm rich?" questioned Menma turning his frown upside down.

"Your accounts have been set up" said Orochimaru handing him a scroll "In that scroll is enough money until you turn sixteen where you'll have access to the rest of your money". "Thank you however do you anything from my father?" asked the boy hoping she did.

"Sorry Menma but no they take everything besides these scrolls which they couldn't open" said Orochimaru handing him three scrolls.

"Thank you but hey can I take my friends to my house?" asked Menma hugging his grandmother.

"Oh, that reminds me you have people you need to meet" said Orochimaru as she broke the hug and letting the boy go with his friends.

-Timeskip-

Thirty minutes later when Menma, Karin, Akiko, and Suigetsu made it to the compound they saw that the compound was large and partly outside the village. Upon being seen ten teenagers walked over and bowed down greeting their leader, which confused the group.

"Umm who are you guys?" asked Menma. That's when Shi Uzumaki walked up to the group "Welcome home Menma-sama these ten are here from you they are branch members under the Royal Uzumaki". This statement made Menma glare at the man "I understand that I am the future leader of Uzushiogakure however I don't believe family should have branch members" said Menma as he shook his head. "As I have informed you before as future leader there are levels you are the last Royal Uzumaki then there's everyone else I trust you remember why every is broken into groups" commented Shi. "Yes but it doesn't mean I have to like it" replied Menma as he folded his arms across his chest. There was a small cough which made everyone turn towards Nara-Inuzuka group that was still kneeling "Oh sorry please stand and show me around it's been a while".

-Ten minutes later-

While looking around the village they were shocked to see how big the compound really was. The Uzumaki compound had ten large houses, ten medium size houses, ten small houses and two training grounds the group had decided to explore one of each house. the large house had four floors, twelve bedrooms, eight bathrooms, two libraries, a large kitchen with a long table, and 2 living rooms. The medium house had two floors five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a nice size kitchen, and only one living room which included a library bookcase. The small house had one floor with three rooms, two bathrooms, a small living room, and a small kitchen Menma hated the house and wondered why anyone would live here. On the outside of the houses were seals that Menma knew however knew he couldn't use them due to his lack of experience and because not every seal is simple meaning that inside that seal was a personal code.

After walking around for ten minutes the group had stopped at the house they had been living at.

"Okay please start with your names" said Menma.

"I am Lucas and those two are my brothers Daniel and Jackson yes before you ask we are triples and the two females are Ava and Alice we are from the Inuzuka clan" said Lucas.

"So Inuzuka triplets and twins that's cool" said Menma. He then turned to toward the Naras "What are you guys name?" questioned Menma.

"I'm Ryosuke" said the boy on the far left.

"My name is Akemi" said the girl.

"The name is Akira pleased to meet you" said boy taking out a board game.

"We're Riku and Kenzo we're twins though he doesn't talk around people he doesn't know" said Riku as he sat down to play against Akira.

"I guess it is true the Nara clan really doesn't produce females" said Akiko. This made everyone in the room laugh for one reason or another "Usually only males are born from the Nara clan making us find love outside the clan which is troublesome" replied Ryosuke.

"Akiko and Suigetsu can you two give us the room?" asked Menma.

"Sure my guy let's go Akiko" said Suigetsu as he got up and left.

"I'll be right outside" said Akiko kissing the boy on cheek then leaving. Once she left Karin gave Menma a look though Menma ignored her look "Okay so I must ask what ranks are you all?" said Menma.

"We are all genins" replied Akemi. There was a pause until one of the triplets "I must ask why are you a Kirigakure ninja?" asked Jack. Menma knew this question was going to come up since he had heard what they had done. "I have a plan to turn Kirigakure into the new home of Uzushiogakure however I need to play my cards right" replied Menma. At this all the Naras turned towards their leader after a moment Akira pulled out a writing board "This is now a private meeting Menma-sama please allow us to help you plan".

-Timeskip-

An hour later Menma, Akiko, and Karin were walking around the compound looking for fellow Uzumaki members. They had found a few teens however they were on their way to do missions. While walking around Menma had seen something he hoped he was imaging but upon speaking to the person he was found to be correct. Two of the teens had hooked up and now a girl named Jade was pregnant with twins which was good news since the curse seemed to be lifted. The bad news was Jade was only 15 years old, she was having twins, and the father of the children had been killed while out of a mission.

After a while Karin and Suigetsu had split from the group she wanted to go to her old house she shared with Tayuya. A part of her missed her best friend and wished she would have gone to Kirigakure with them however again she understood why the girl wanted to stay. After looking around for a while she found her house it looked like someone had been working on it. When she and Suigetsu walked in they didn't see anyone and the place looked dirty she had made a water clone to help her clean the place up however while cleaning up she ran into Tayuya who looked out of it so she rushed the girl to a hospital while Suigetsu ran to found Menma and Akiko. Upon seeing Menma and Akiko Suigetsu yelled their names "MENMA AKIKO COME QUICKLY!". Both turned around quickly and ran towards their friend once meeting up Suigetsu told them what happened and they headed towards the hospital.

-Hospital-

When Menma, Akiko, and Suigetsu made it to the hospital Karin had told them she found the girl passed out in the tub foaming out the mouth. This shocked Menma who knew the girl and remembered her saying one to always say no to drugs hell she didn't even smoke cannabis which was a plant commonly found in the Land of Grass. After waiting a few hours, they were finally allowed to see her although they weren't allowed near her since the doctor had a feeling she was a threat to herself and those around her. When they asked why he thought that he had informed them that Opium and cocaine was found in her system on top of that she lately had a habit of attacking people ever since they left. They made both of her friends feel like shit they didn't know that they had caused this to happen Suigetsu tried to tell them it wasn't their fault however they tuned him out.

-Timeskip-

It was now a week later and Tayuya was still in the hospital sadly though the girl had made little recovery. After Orochimara was informed of what happened she sent a letter to Tsunade asking for help because this had been an ongoing problem within the land. In the neighboring land which is the Land of Rice they made many illegal drugs and sold them to many villages Orochimara had tried to make sure none of her people was using that stuff however it somehow ended up in her land had been affecting her people. Tsunade gave advice however she couldn't help in person because she was stuck in the Land of Iron due to an attack by a mystery force that looked like a flying demon.

Menma and Karin had been removed from the hospital after two days because they weren't patients and sitting around doesn't help anyone. The nurses told them that they would keep them updated and told them to go home. After leaving the hospital Karin had gone to the tower to tell the Otokage that she would be staying in the village so that she could look after her friend Orochimara thanked her however told her that she needed to inform Menma of this decision since it is the right thing to do.

Upon making it back to the compound Karin saw Menma and Akiko talking to someone who looked like a Senju member. Once catching up to the group the woman addresses her "You must be Karin it's nice to meet you I am Jeni" said the woman now known as Jeni. She was wearing a white kimono with the Senju kanji on it.

"Nice to meet you how can we help you?" asked Karin.

"I was informed by lady Tsunade that a friend of yours is in the hospital now I may not be as good of a medic as her however I'll do my best to help" said Jeni.

"She's in the hospital" stated Menma who looked tired.

"I'll make my way there I just wanted to meet the future Kage of the Uzushiogakure" said Jeni as she disappeared.

"Hey Menma, I need to talk to you" said Karin.

"Karin if it's bad news keep it" said Menma as he walked into a random small house. Akiko and Suigetsu followed him while Karin just went home to clean up so that when her best friend gets out the hospital she'll have a clean place to stay.

-Karin and Tayuya's house-

The place was disgusting. There was food everywhere, rats and roaches everywhere you looked, and there was a foul odor in the air. Karin first thought was to burn the house down and just pick a new house within the compound however she didn't know who lived in what houses. Karin went through thirty hand signs then yelled "Shadow clone jutsu" after ten appeared she told them "We need to clean this place up take everything dirty and burn it outside" said Karin. After two hours all the rats and roaches were dead, the foul odor was gone, and the house was damn nearly empty. Karin knew that she needed to go shopping however she knew Menma would pay for the furniture since he promised her new stuff.

-2 hours later-

Karin had woken up Menma and told him the news of her staying in the village Menma understood however wasn't happy that his friend would be leaving him. The two decided to let their friends sleep and go get all new stuff for Karin and Tayuya's house. Menma had brought new beds, dressers, towels, kitchen tools, food, and other things for the house while in the house Menma had decided to take a shower because his clothes and body smelled bad. When he got out of that shower he dried off and put on a white muscle shirt, a stone necklace he made on his travels, underwear, some black and green shorts, and some ninja slides. When he looked in the mirror he saw that his eyes looked different so he asked his furry friend who lived within his body.

"Hey Kurama" thought Menma.

"What the fuck do you want? you damn well know I'm sleeping" replied Kurama.

"Well wake your ass up what the hell is going on with my eyes they look different" thought Menma.

" You probably have a dojutsu" said Son Goku.

"Which one because my eyes look similar to the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan though they had some differences" asked Menma.

"Neither one of you parents were Uchiha" said Kurama as he looked through Menma's eyes and indeed his eye looked like the cursed eyes however there was a difference. "Maybe It's something Yami give you" added Kurama.

"I keep hearing about this person however when am I going to meet her?" asked Menma.

"Trust me kit she's someone you do not want to run into" said Kurama trying to warn the boy.

Author's notes:

Okay, so this is a rewrite I came with a few changes and a lot more details so I hope you enjoyed it. Originally I gave him Son Goku however after a discussion with a few people the story would be better written a different way. To anyone who is confused Menma's has the charka while Naruto has the body of Son Goku sealed within him.

Sakumo Hatake is alive in the story because of the Will of Fire. He did the right thing so he shouldn't have been treated like shit when the whole village is built on teamwork just think about it.

Menma will have girlfriends that he dates throughout the story but will have two or three wives.

Menma is not related to Karin, Han, Rōshi, or Tayuya.

I couldn't pick one so I gave him a few nin animals however since the Namikaze isn't really talked about why not connect them to wolves who are smart, loyal and have a pack mentally.

The 3rd Hokage is the worse Kage ever IMO don't at me.

Who should be on teams? I'll also be covering Teams 7,8,9, and 10 (that being Neji, Rock Lee, Ten-Ten, Sasuke, Kiba, Shino, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Ino, Sakura, and Satsuki).

Thank you for leaving a comment and following.
