The Kyubi no Kitsune was once a powerful demon lord, who devoured the souls and bodies of whomever opposed his mighty power. He was said to have created tidal waves and raised mountains with just one swipe of one of his nine, ferocious and strong demon tails. Until Minato Namikaze and Naruto Uzumaki.
The yondaime hokage, Minato Namikaze used a forbidden jutsu to seal the great demon in to his prison, within the stomach of one Naruto Uzumaki. For seventeen years the kyubi remained under lock and key, with his jailor only visiting him once or twice for the power needed to destroy his enemies. When the boy had been banished the Kyubi had begun to form a sort of bond with his jail cell.
On the eighteenth birthday of Naruto Uzumaki, the kyubi was given a choice. Remain trapped within the seal for all eternity, cursed to rot and die in the bowels of the human boy, or be given a living body by a special type of clone jutsu, with his powers decreased expenesionally and without any of his great demonic powers, with the lifespan of a human. Such a thing would be ludicrous for a demon to think of. But the Kyubi craved freedom and so was given a human body.
The clone was given the appearance of Minato Namikaze, but when Kyubi entred the body, it donned blood red hair, red eyes, like fire, and three whisker marks on either cheek. Naruto compared him as his big brother. The kyubi was now living near Umi no Kuni, on a farm where he used chakra and jutsus to control his crops and sustain his livestock. Sheep, Cows, Bulls, Horses and poultry. It was thanks to Naruto that he was able to sustain himself ontop of his income. Naruto's gambling had made him incredibly wealthy.
He had also become the godfather to Haku, Naruto's now five year old son. Unfortunatley the child had mistaken him for a woman for some unknown reason and had taken to calling him Auntie Kyubi. It took all the cuteness of Haku's innocent face and self restraint on the kyubi's part that he didn't try to eat the child the very first time he called him that.
Now Twenty-five years after his imprissonment, the exact date to be technical, he found himself staring at his godson and his father, the ex-jinchurikki, who had come for a visit. Haku still carried around the transforming toy he had gifted the child with. Kyubi-P. A floating fox head ball with an antena atop of it's head.
"AUNTIE KYU-KYU!" Haku screamed as he imbedded his small head in to Kyubi's stomach. The ex-demon turned man sweatdropped and gave off fake anime-tears which wiggled and swayed down his cheeks. "Why must you torment me like this Haku-chan?".
"Because it's so fun!" the small child exclaimed. "Auntie Kyu-Kyu?".
"Yes?"
"Did ya save me a present?" he asked like a true con-man. The two men fell anime style with large sweatdropps. 'He never changes' they both thought unaminously. It was well known in this family that Haku was a true con-man, conning presents off his godfather as if he was just asking for a strand of his godfather's blood red hair.
"I have a new set of Kunai, just in from Hell. You're lucky your my godson. Here these things go for a million Ryo per kunai. Usually in Hell their 100 ryo. I get 'em for twenty-five since I invented and developed them. If you were anyone else, I'd eat ya or send you packing."
"I see you still have that portal jutsu ready for use" Naruto commented as they made there way to the kitchen. "Yeah. Hey Chibinaru, Miaka down in town backed me a big apple tart. Theres a slice on the table, mind you it's hot. Cream's in the fridge". The small child nodded in agreement, swaddled over to the plate with the delicious slice of tart, took it from the table, fork an all. Kyubi-P retrievd the cream and the two scurried in to the living room where Kyubi kept his television set. A rare item in most parts of the Elemental Countries, but thanks to Naruto's seemingly never ending funds, Kyubi could afford all the TV's that he desired.
"Miaka?" Naruto jested. "As in Tamahome's Miaka?".
"Yes. Tama-homo's Miaka" Kyubi growled at his ex-vessel. "I swear, if that guy makes any more wisecracks about Me and Nuriko on our poker nights, I don't care what agreement I made with you not to start fights, I'll send him to meet the starfish at the bottom of the sea!". Naruto cocked a grin at the ex-demon lord. "You and Nuriko huh? I still can't believe we she hangs out with you".
"He" Kyubi corrected.
"Huh?"
"Nuriko is a guy doofus"
"NANI??" Naruto exclaimed falling over and nearly smacking his face in to the tiled floors. "Carefull i just cleaned those" Kyubi cried at Naruto. "No wonder Tama is making such a big deal out of it. Did you know?".
"No one new until two months ago. We all thought he was a woman for ten years. I nearly had a heart attack when I found out". Naruto scoffed at the ex-demon lord. "Kyubi. You can't have a heart attack, because you don't have a heart". The right eye of kyui twitched dangerously. "Hey I love Chibinaru. That means I have a heart". Naruto shook his head. "Kyubi. I really ment. You.Don't.Have.A.Heart. literilly. The clone is sustain by chkara, not by a heart. There isn't one in there at all".
"Then what pumps the blood?"
"Your ego?"
"DAMN BRAT!"
"Hey!" a small voice sounded from inside the living room. The two men turned to see a scowling Chibinaru with an upheld fork in one hand and an empty plate in the other. Crumbs and apple sauce littered the place around his mouth and his cheeks. A tick was formed on his head. "Keep it down. You sound like a pair of old gossiping women!".
"Geez, he's just like Isaribi" Naruto pointed out in a hushed whisper to Kyubi.
"Yeah but he eats as fast as you".
"And I can hear as good as you Auntie Kyu-Kyu. How dare you compare me to the likes of him".

Back on demon island Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Shikamaru and Chouji water walked across the vast ocean to reach their destination. Already they could see that someone had carved a stair case in to the rock which led to a small cottage on flat piece of land which resided on the top of a round clif, surrounded by rocks to make sure nothing fell of.
Within minutes the group of five sat and rested on the beach of demon island. "Okay. First we rest, then we go climbing up those stairs" Ino stated as she fell flat on her butt, soaking up the last of the sun's rays. She let out her ponytail and let it fall down the back of her head. "Can't we just set up camp here. We were running for hours and my chakra ia nearly all out". She began to massage her feet as Shikamaru and Chouji both fell down either side of her.
Hinata put her hands in a famillier seal and called upon hr bloodline. "Byakugan".
Sakura turned to face the ocean, where on the other side of the water she could still make out the mainland. "If this is what the view from the beaches look like then I can't wait to hit the cliffs. This view is incredible. If Naruto really does live here then I have to compliment his choice in views". She sat down on the sand and fell to her back. "Even the sand is heavenly. You don't get sand this soft even in Suna".
Shikamaru nodded in agreement, having visited Suna every other month being Konoha's official liason for the sand village and for being the husband to the sister of the Kazekage, he knew how soft the sand was in Suna and this definatley was much softer than anything. "Must be some sort of chakra or softning jutsu" he commented stroking his hands in the sand dune.
"Sakura" Hinata's voice cried out to them all.
The four other leaf nins turned to the once shy Hyuuga heiress. "The stairs are clean. They do have residue chakra on them, the only security are the booby traps that go on up the side of the cliff. I suggest we don't use those. There's an empty house up there and there seems to be a grave of some sorts" she informed them as they turned from her towards the top of the cliff.
"We should go now before anyone sees us" Sakura commanded.
Ino began to moan. "Oh, come on Billboardbrow, let us rest for a while. Not all of us have the power of the sannin, nor the stamina. Let us rest for a little while. Please".
"Fine" Sakura grunted as she bit her thumb and went through a series of handsigns. Finally when she was done she jabbed her bleeding thumb in to her palm and slapped it to the ground. "Summoning jutsu!". A puff of smoke occured and a blue slug popped in to existance. "How may I assist you m'lady?" the slug asked graciously. Sakura petted the large slug on the head. "Fuuko, can you please give us a lift up these steps? My friends are tired and we need to reach it with earnest" the pink haired kunoichi asked her summon. The trick with the slug summon is to always be polite and they'll do whatever you want them to do.
"As you wish milady" the slug replied, keen to help her mistress. "Climb on" Sakura commanded the other four. Shikamaru, Ino, Chouji and Hinata all climbed on leaving Sakura to walk. "Hey come on Billboardbrow, you need to climb on to" Ino said to her friend. Sakura gave her friend a sly smile. "No thanks. We Sannin have more stamina that you Jounin". And with her command Fuuko, with speed that can be considered amazing for a slug they made their way up hill with Sakura sometime infront, sometimes behind to cheek for traps.
At last the five ninja found themselves atop to cliff...to a field of flowers and a medium sized cottage, in the middle. It was like something out of a story book. The flowers looked so beautiful, especially under the radience of the setting sun. Closer to the beach lay the headstone Hinata had spoken of earlier. "If their name is written on that rock then we'll know who lives or lived here" Hinata quirked in. Sakura and Hinata were followed by Chouji and Shikamaru. Non of them noticed Ino staring dreamingly at the field of flowers which surrounded her. "If I find whoever grew these, remind me to hire them for my shop" she said.
Ever since her parents retired to a small place in Tea Country the last year, Ino ran the flower shop with her husband Sai. The ex-Root ninja had finally left behind the life of the social and emotional enigma, and had fallen hard for Ino. Whilst juggling his career as a ninja Sai worked as a painter and occasionally worked for the flower shop when Ino was either out with her friends or on a mission. As Sai had no last name, being an orphan and had once being a subordinate of Danzo, Sai took on Ino's last name.
"Ino" Sakura called back to her, finally snapping the blonde out of her daze. "Yeah billboard brow?". "You better come look at this". Ino made her way over to the headstone...and stoped dead at the name carved in to it's cold surface. The first name of her old friend...and the surname of the person they were looking for to become their Rokudaime Hokage.
Isaribi Uzumaki
Born: July 3rd 3 B.K.
Died: May 11th 23 A.K.
Loving Wife
Devoted Mother
Goddess of the Sea
Underneath this inscription was the imprint of an impacted Rasengan. Clearly Naruto's handiwork. Then inscription even looked like it had been carved in by a much smaller Rasengan. The handiwork was excellent. The images of white foxes and white whales decorated the headstone. "Isaribi is...gone?" Ino asked as a tear came to her eye.
"Isaribi...Uzumaki?" Shikamaru stated. "You don't think...?"
"Naruto married Isaribi? How? When?" Sakura asked with wide and frightful eyes. "Remember some of the villagers" Shikamaru said as he looked over to the mainland. "They said Five years ago, on November 5th, there were these fireworks shaped like foxes and another set in the following Febuary. What do you bet that it was in November that they married?".
"What has me confused is the devoted mother thing" Chouji said. "Did they have a kid or...something?" he realsied what was going on. That child they had seen with Naruto wasn't a psychopathic teenager under the guise of a henge. He really was a child. And Naruto's son no less. "Naruto is a father. Damn. He had kids before any of us" he stated as Ino smoothed the rock over with her hand.
"Well...considering what they both went through they deserved some happiness, however short. And look now. The council will be happy. Their Rokudaime has an heir" she said gazing nostalgically in to the head stone. However there were two people in the company, the two other females, who felt the weight of the world at that moment. Their knight in shining armour had married and had a child with a fishgirl. They had been waiting for him,a nd now they found he had forgotten about them.
"So that means that...that kid might have some of Kyubi's power" Shikamaru guessed as the last rays of the fading sun set beyond the the horizon. Chouji this time spoke.
"Ya think Naruto would mind if we used his house for the night?" Chouji asked them.

Back in Konohagakure about a week later, Tsunade, the Godaime Hokage for Konoha fell off her desk and joined the council members in giving large and shocked eyes at Lee's and Shikamaru's report. Kakashi, who had joined them to give an update on team Serpent dropped his book and let his jaw drop long enough for his mouth to slip to just a little over his lips. Shizune dropped her paperwork and Iruka's eyes became glazed over in giddiness.
"NARUTO'S A FATHER?" they all asked in unison terrifying Shikamaru and Lee who had to face the brut force of their shock. "H-H-Hai. Hokage-sama" Shikamaru managed to say before Tsunade stood up aburptly. Many within the room flinched and back away from the Godaime. Tsunade reached in to her desk and pulled out...a large bottle of sake?
"Looks like now I really am a Grandmother" she said with a giddy face. "hey, hey, Iruka. That must make you an uncle or something right? Come on we'll have a drink to celebrate. Two infact. Our little Naruto's all grown up now. He's a husband and a father. I am so proud".
"Uhh-godaime-sama" Lee interupted causing the great ex-sannin to glare at the spandex clad young man with enough venom to kill a snake (Now if only that worked on Orochimaru all those years ago). "What is it?" she aksed the poor young man with evil intentions should his news appear irrelivent.
"Um...well...uh"
Shikamaru sighed heavily before stepping forward. "Troublesome. Hokage-sama, Naruto-kun is a widower". The lid of the sake bottle popped open as Tsunade looked at Shikamaru in shock and suprise. "We found her grave marker. It was how we found this information. We believe that the years used on the markers were to indicate the Kyubi, B.K. means Before Kyubi and A.K. must mean post-kyubi attack. She only died two years ago. Naruto has been travelling with his child ever since only visiting on Mother's day, his birthday, Isaribi's birthday and date of death, Christmas, the date of what we believe is their wedding and the date of what we think was the day of his child's birth".
Tsunade felt rotten about that. Who did Naruto kill in a past life to deserve something like that. To only be married for a few short years and to loose the one you loved, leaving you with a child. Not to mention the Kyubi incident and the hostility faced from the villagers, and not to mention his banishment. "Poor Naruto" Shizune said putting a hand on Tsunade's shoulder.
Hiashi decided now was an excellent time to ask something that had been bothering him since he had been told of the child's existance. "Does anyone know his name?". Lee shook his head negatively. "We do not know. All we know is that Naruto refers to him as 'Chibime'".
"Can it be assumed that the child shares the same name as it's father? If that is the case then it can be assumed it is a son".
Iruka shook his head. "Knowing Naruto and from how the child's been described, the child looks like Naruto which could result in the nickname. The gender of the child is up in the air as is it's name". Homura coughed before speaking once again. "With this new development, do you really think that Uzumaki will return to us. He may want to save his child from the persecution of the villagers".
"That's very likely" Kakashi added. "Naruto may have bee an idiot, Been, being the Key word here, but even in his youth, he wouldn't want his child to be treatd like that. Many may have accepted Naruto and most want him back, but a majority of civillians have been protesting his appointment to Hokage. If Naruto hears about this then there isn't a snowballs chance in Hell of him coming back".
Tsunade slammed her hands on her desk (without using her super strength). "Naruto needs to come back. I can't keep doing this job anymore. Naruto is the only one I trust. Konohamaru has been pushing, but I'm tired, not a buffoon. That child also needs a stable enviroment, and as it's grandmother I order more ninja to track down Naruto. See if they can intercept him before he reaches the Land of the Sea".
Shizune whispered in to Iruka's ear. "Now if only Naruto had been older years ago and had a kid she would probably would have done more work so the kid would be safe from persecution".
"I heared that Shizune"

"Bye-bye Auntie Kyu-Kyu" Haku called back from atop his father's shoulders.
Kyubi's red eyebrow twitched dangerously. "KID YOU ARE LUCKY YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE GOD-CHILD!"
"I'M YOUR ONLY GOD-CHILD" Haku yelled back as they got further and further away from the farm Kyubi had housed them in for three weeks. "Tou-san, can we stay at home for a while. Kaa-san is probably very lonely?" Haku said to his father. Naruto looked up in to his son's eyes with confusion, before breaking out in to a grin.
"Sure Kaa-san will like the company. We'll stay there a while and you can go to the school on the mainland. I'll airwalk or Flashstep you over there in the mornings and when you're ready to come home. How's that sound?" he asked with his foxy features.
"Tou-san?" Haku questioned looking ahead towards Demon Island as the descended down the slope. "Does anyone else live in the cottage while we're gone?".
"No why do you ask?"
"Because someone's lit the fire at our cottage and the smoke is rising from the side vents aswell".
Naruto's eyes widened and he looked towards Demon Island. And beyond a shadow of a doubt, there was a fire in their house. Probably in the living room since the vents also took that smoke to the other side of the island. "Haku, no matter what happens stay with Auntie Kyu-Kyu. I'll wait here until you go in. I'll be back I promise. Tell Auntie Kyu-Kyu that somethings going on at Demon Island and he isn't to interfere with it".
Haku nodded uncertainly, not wanting to disobey his father, but at the same time worried for his safety. "Be carefull Tou-san". Haku was back at Kyubi's house within five minutes when Kyubi stuck his head out and ushered Chibinaru in with Kyubi-P by his side. When he was sure Chibinaru was safe, Naruto used a jutsu he had created a while back.
Flash Step.
This jutsu needed no hands signs and was sort of like a chakra control exercise. With Kyubi gone Naruto was able to regulate his chakra better, allowing him larger capacities for Chakra control. Flashstep allowed the user to move at the speed of light or sound depending on the Chakra capacity. It wasn't as fast as the Hiraishin, but it beat the shunshin and didn't need any kind of device to make it work.
What made it work more in terms of chakra control exercises was using it on water.
As Naruto passed by many said they felt a strong gust of wind pass through the town. It was once a regualt occurance in town for a couple of years, but this time, instead of the usual happy feeling that came with the wind. Now all it gave off was a sense of forebodding and an matter of urgency and rage.
Sai, Kurenai and Yamato who had remained on the mainland sensed the famillier chakra fly passed them and reach the ocean, heading for demon island. "That was..." Yamato exclaimed with eyes widened with shock.
"Naruto-kun"
"We have to get to the island as soon as possible".
000000000000000000000000000000
Sakura stared out in to the night, leaning on her elbows, looking at the mainland sorrowfully. "Do you think he saw it?" she asked Chouji who had the idea of starting a fire in the home to alert Naruto to their pressence on the island. The Akimichi nodded in repliy. "The light and ventalated smoke should have alerted him to our pressence. He should be here in a couple of hours. We'll see him whether he travels by waterwalking or boat. Unless he uses shunshin. No matter what we'll be able to subdue him with Shikamaru's Shadow possesion and you girls can do your thing."
Chouji left when he saw the far off expression on Sakura's face, knowing full well it was time to leave. Moments later Hinata exited the cottage with a blanket for the pink haired neo-sannin. "Are you alright?" the pale eyed Hyuuga asked placing the blanket over Sakura's shoulders.
Sakura sighed and put a hand to her cheek. "Hai". Hinata had always been good at reading between the lines and knew Sakura was lying, no Byakugan was needed to sense the heartbeat quicken. Sakura was on the verge of collapsing in tears. "You want to talk about it?" she asked putting a hand on her friend's shoulder.
"No". Again another lie. But Hinata was not to be so easily derailed. "You're suffering from a broken heart Sakura. No medical jutsu in the world can cure something like that. What does help is talking about it. You're angry and upset that Naruto fell in love with someone else and has a child with another woman. You just want to pound his head in to the ground and beat him to a pulp, or in my case Juuken him in to the next century and making sure he can't have anymore children. You're upset that you were too late in telling him the truth and that you've lost him forever".
Sakura sighed. "Jeez Hinata, out of you and Ino I sometimes forget which one of you has the mental powers". Hinata shook her head. "They're not mental powers. I am feeling the exact same way. We both loved Naruto-kun and we thought he wouldn't move on and we waited for him. Now ten years on, we're still waiting and now he's a widower and has a five year old child. I'm crushed and I know you are aswell".
Hinata's words struck a nerve in Sakura's head. It was the nerve she had been sheilding but had been hit by the truth Hinata spoke to her. Tears weld up behind her eyes and she grasped her arms around Hinata's waist. She cried in to her friend's stomach. It may have been lame and girlish and a weakness, but what the Hyuuga heiress had said had been true. She had waited for her chance and now it was all dust in the wind.
"LOOK" Ino exclaimed pointing out on to the water between them and the village on the mainland. Every twenty feet there came a ripple in the water and a blurred image of someone. Someone with blonde hair.
"Naruto-kun" Hinata called out.
"He's so fast" Chouji commented.
Sakura wipped her eyes clean and pulled on her glooves. "Come on then. Lets go get us a Hokage" she said with the saddness still dominant in her words, even though she spoke them fluently. "Here he comes. Chouji was the next to speak his opinions. "How is he doing that. It's faster than Lee. It is speed right, Hinata?".
The Hyuuga girl had her bloodline limit activated and was watching Naruto as he ran towards them. "It is speed. He takes one step and in a flash he's twenty feet away and ready to take another step. It's like he's using water walking aswell. Chakra is being focused in to his feet and it's regulating simillarly to when a ninja does tree climbing or water walking".
"Here he comes"
"Here I am. Now tell me, Who the hell are you and why are you in my front garden?" Naruto asked as he appeared, eyes burning with rage, which however calmed when he saw pink hair, a sad byakugan, a blonde who looked like the female Deidara, a large guy and a pineapple head. His eyes widened in shock and he took one step back, before snarling and digging his hands in to his back pocket for a sebon.

Bio:
Alot of people give Naruto a sword, so in honour of that tradition I have gifted him with a katana, but also equipped him with Kunai, Shuriken, Sebon, and a tessen because I wanted to break the mold. Naruto loves ramen but due to a little fact with Haku Naruto doesn't eat it anymore, occasionally going for pockey. He no longer houses Kyubi and the story deals with him deciding if he'll keep his promise and become Hokage or if he'll choose to follow a different one to protect his child and remain on the run.
Personal History:
Naruto was born October 10 in what he calls 0 A.K. (after Kyubi) as I don't know what kind of calender they use in the Naruto world. After training under the sannin Jiraiya, bringing back Tsunade, and defeating Gaara of the Dessert, Naruto failed to retrieve Sasuke Uchiha from Orochimaru. Three years later Naruto saves Sasuke and defeats Akatsuki but is banished by Konoha's civillian council. As such Naruto holds a deep hatred for the village. When he left he was joined by Isaribi. Five years on the two married happily when Isaribi was 4-5 months pregnant. Isaribi died three years later and Naruto now travels the land with his son.
