Chapter 2

Naruto awoke to a nauseating sterile smell and a white room and groaned he could tell he was in the hospital he had been there enough in his short life to know what it looked and smelt like.

"Ah I see your awake Naruto-kun" An aged voice said from the direction of the door

Naruto turned to see the Sandamie Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen there smoking his pipe

"Hey old man Hokage" Naruto rasped his voice slightly groggy form having just woken up

"How do you feel Naruto-Kun" enquired the aging Hokage

"I'm fine Oji-san just a little sore on my leg, do you happen to know when I'm getting out of here" Naruto asked his voice full of hope

Sarutobi sighed when Naruto had been brought in by Hound he was in critical condition and if not for the Kyuubi's power he would have died, but looking at the young boy now you wouldn't have known how close he was to dyeing he was almost completely back to normal.

"Maybe soon Naruto-Kun" replied the aging Hokage

Naruto sighed in defeat he hated hospitals they smelled weird and most the people either ignored him completely or were mean to him

"Now Naruto" Sarutobi began breaking Naruto out of his train of thought "Care to tell me how you ended up here" He asked

Naruto flinched slightly the old man looked both disappointed and concerned and if there was one thing Naruto hated it was disappointing the people he cared for

"I'm sorry Oji-san but it's not my fault I was staying inside like you told me to do but some of the villagers broke into my apartment so I had to run" explained Naruto with a sniffle he was sure anything in his apartment was now destroyed

The aging Hokage flattered hearing that before pulling Naruto in for a hug

"It wasn't your fault Naruto-Kun you don't have to apologise" He whispered it was times like this he wished either Kushina or Minato had lived no one would dare do something like this with either of them around and not just because they were well liked but because any that tried would be dead as fast as Minato's Hiraishin travelled, but with the damn civilian council taking so much of his power away Sarutobi couldn't do much but help when he could and send trustworthy Anbu to watch over the child.

Naruto nodded gratefully still clinging tightly to the man he considered his Grandfather.

00oo00oo00

Kyuubi growled in annoyance she had been searching the damn seal for a while and she still couldn't find the remanets of the man who had imprisoned her

She had just reached and area in the seal that looked like a cliff that oversaw the setting sun, when a Kunai appeared at her thought and she tensed "Why are you here Kyuubi" a cold voice said into her ear

She was slightly surprised that he knew it was her but decided to file it away for later analysis

"Your child is what has brought me to you Ninken" She growled out still tense until the kunai disappeared and she was spun around to face a man about twenty he had spiky blond hair and sky blue eyes he wore a standard Jounin outfit but with a white jacket that reached his calves that had red flames liking at the edges

"Start talking" The Kage demanded his eyes as steely as his voice as they both conveyed a silent threat

She sighed this wasn't how she had planned to have this conversation but it was better than some of the options she had considered "It appears that the village you gave your life for has not been respecting your final request they are blinded by their hate for me and there grief for those lost and only see your child as myself in human form" she said

Minato growled low in his thought "And what does that have to do with you" he asked

Kyuubi narrowed her blood red eyes at the ex-Kage "I have come to see that child as my own and I have been watching out for him all I can with this blasted seal," she said tugging at her collar "Which isn't much" she muttered under her breath

The fourth Hokage's face first contorted in anger then set in a look of deep sadness and depression

"And what does that have to do with your presence here" Minato asked "have you come to mock me for the life I have thrust upon my child, because if that is so you have done your job and I ask you to leave"

Kyuubi frowned slightly "No I have not come to mock you, I have enough knowledge to know of the future that awaits the child to know why you have forced him into the life of a jailor, No what brings me here is that even though I detest admitting it I need help to raise him to for fill that destiny, the seal as it is now allows me to communicate with the child but that is all I cannot go outside the seal to help him against the villagers that target him and I do not know enough about your kind to know how to train him to be a shinobi as he so wishes, and as it stands you are one of the only people that can do this, and that is why I am here I have come with an offer that will allow you the ability to help me raise and care for Naruto" she said

Minato blinked "and how exactly am I supposed to do this I only left enough Chakra to reseal you in if Naruto ever went to eight tales of your power" he asked

"what I have in mind is I will combine my chakra and yours to create an astral body for you, it will function almost exactly like a real one thanks to the fact that when you used Shiki Fuujin you tied both of our souls together this also allows you to access chakra and become solid for short periods" Kyuubi explained

Minato blinked "and you're doing this so that we can raise a child together" he asked uncertainly

"I have been raising that child as if he were my own since I have been able to communicate with him" Kyuubi hissed out angrily

Minato nodded "Why me though I would have though you would have chosen Kushina as she was your last host" he said confused

"I would have if I had a choice but as I mentioned you have your soul tied to the seal she does not only her Chakra remains meaning you're the only viable option" Kyuubi explained

Minato nodded in understanding it made sense since the body Kyuubi was suggesting would need a soul to give instruction but he had though it might have been enough just having chakra for the Kyuubi to work with apparently not.

"If we're going to do this Kyuubi we can't try to undermined one another nor can we be trying to fight over old grudges" Minato said calmly but he was excited this was a chance he never thought he would have a chance to raise his son and he wasn't going to give it up no matter what it meant having to do.

Kyuubi nodded in agreement she could live with that, it seemed reasonable after all and he was powerful, not many men could claim to have bested her like he had so she really had no argument to not letting him be in charge like this

Minato nodded at her acceptance "I guess that means were going to be family" he muttered before continuing "any way I was wondering how we were going to get the rest of my soul from the Shinigami for the body to work"

"Well to start with we need to create the body first and for that we both need to concern trait are chakra in your body to help it cerement the remanets of your soul into that form then we'll need to start pulling through the seal at your soul it will be a slow and painful process but in the end when your soul is inside you, you'll be able to project yourself out of the seal, to begin with you won't be seen or heard by anyone but Naruto but after a while of spending time in the mortal world you will be able to control who can hear and see you" Kyuubi explained

Minato nodded it sounded like a good though out plan "so when do we start" he asked

"We can start right now if you'd like" she replied grinning madly her kit was soon not going to be alone anymore.
