Insert disclaimer here

Before I begin this story I would just like to say thank you to all those that reviewed and yes I feel very stupid about calling my Omake an okami. Although is considering calling all my Omakes okami just for the heck of it.

Mzr90: You don't have to worry. Although I enjoy stories that pair Naruto up with Erza or Mira I won't be using those pairings. I've narrowed down the pairing to one of three people. It was originally two but after reading your review I'm beginning to consider Lucy. And as for my spelling and grammar I'll try to proof read better but I've always been bad at spelling.

Guest: Um... ok? That doesn't really help me. Like at all.

Chapter 2: October 11th

It was a sad day for everyone in the village known as Konoha. Just last night the Kyuubi had appeared out of nowhere with little warning to attack Konoha. The destruction would've been much worse had it not been for the quick response of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi. As soon as news of the fox's approach reached the old man's ears he rallied together an impressive amount of ninja to deal with the threat. Another reason Konoha got away lightly after the battle was the fact that only about seven minutes had passed between the beginning of the battle and the appearance of the Fourth Hokage. Between the quick response time and short battle one could safely say that not many lives were lost, if it hadn't been for one very important fact.

It was the Kyuubi.

Among all nine of the bijuu the Kyuubi was by far the strongest. The Uchiha's fire jutsu couldn't even singe it's fur. The shadow possession jutsu only succeeded in slowing it down for a few seconds before it broke free. Even Hiruzen's attacks were brushed off by the fox.

After a short period of indifference towards the shinobi at its feet the fox began batting the pests aside with its paws and stomped on anyone who got on his nerves. Not many shinobi were able to avoid the beasts massive claws before it was too late. By the end of the battle the original offensive force of one hundred was reduced to about twenty five. Unfortunately there were more civilian casualties than those of the ninja. When the Kyuubi was about a quarter mile away from Konoha the creature began launching blasts of red chakra into the village. Buildings were destroyed, many people died, and the offending bijuu didn't seem to care.

The Third Hokage realized that nothing was working and was about to order the surviving ninja to fall back and regroup with the ninja inside the village who had either been preparing for the fight or evacuating citizens. Before the order was given, however, Minato had finally arrived to deal with the Kyuubi much to everyone's relief.

After reinforcing the village's defenses in the event that the Kyuubi came back, Hiruzen ran off to find Minato with a squad of anbu. What they found was a torn up clearing, a dead body who's face was destroyed beyond recognition, and a sleeping infant with blond hair and a seal on his stomach. What they didn't find was the blond Hokage or his wife. It was easy for the elderly man to piece together the events of the night. The dead body was the one who released the fox before his head got blown off by a rasengan. And Minato, with the help of Kushina, had managed to seal away the Kyuubi into their child with a jutsu that destroyed their bodies. Letting out a sigh the aged man ordered the anbu to take the body away for examination as he picked up the infant Naruto.

Those were the event that resulted in Konoha's current atmosphere. Everyone wore a somber face and the mood in the air reflected the sorrow everyone felt. No one was spared from the events last night. Everyone lost something whether it be a family member, friend, or some material object no one was spared last night.

Hiruzen was staring out at the village concerned about the blanket of depression everyone was under while he gently rocked Naruto in his arms. The man wanted to cry himself but couldn't now that he had retaken the mantle of Hokage. Last night he had been informed that his beloved wife, Kushina's midwife, had been killed, presumably by the ninja they found by Naruto. After hearing the news Hiruzen wanted nothing more than to break down and mourn for his late wife but he couldn't. He had to be strong for Konoha. So with one last sigh the old, or rather new, Hokage turned to the anbu before him currently awaiting to be acknowledged by his leader. "Yes? What is it?" Hiruzen asks already having a pretty good idea about what it was and he wasn't looking forward to it.

"The council is awaiting your arrival in the council chamber downstairs." The anbu member reports in a monotone voice.

Hiruzen could only pinch the bridge of his nose and suppress yet another sigh before he dismissed the anbu with a wave of his hand.

Council chamber: 5 minutes later

The Third Hokage strode into the meeting room with confidence in his step while holding a still sleeping Naruto in his arms. Without a word Hiruzen takes his seat in-between the two sides of the council and surveys the room with the eyes of the leader he once was.

The council was separated into two branches the civilian council, who represents non-shinobi and updates the Hokage about the increase and drop of imported and exported goods as well as other things of that nature, and the shinobi council, which was made up of clan heads and other high-ranking shinobi to advise the Hokage on any and all big decisions. There was also the Hokage's three advisors which are hand-picked by each Hokage during their rule to assist in their duties. And since Hiruzen returned to his old position so too did his advisors Danzo, Homura, and Koharu.

The council chamber was a large round room built for the sole purpose of hosting the council when they meet with the Hokage or hold important meetings. On both sides of the Hokage's seat were three rows one behind the other with each row raised higher than the one in front of it. Between the Hokage's seat and the rows were a small set of stairs to allow access to the upper rows. The rows stop a few feet from the only entrance and exit the room had to offer. Each row consisted of a long wooden table that curved the same way the walls were giving the room a circular theme to it. Sturdy wooden chairs spaced a couple of feet apart from each other were behind the tables for the council members to sit at. The Hokage's seat itself was on the opposite side of the room than the exit/entrance and raised as high as the back row. In front of the seat was a small table for the Hokage's convenience. In front of the Hokage's table on the same level as the second row were the advisor seats.

Everyone had already arrived before Hiruzen and waited quietly for him to take his place and begin the meeting. The Third Hokage, who decided it was time to begin, cleared his throat before addressing the council. "We are here to analyze our current situation and decide on a course of action to guarantee our survival." Hiruzen states before turning to the shinobi side of the room, "Ibiki what is the death toll of last nights battle?"

In the middle row on the shinobi side of the room a tall man wearing a dark trench coat stands and addresses the room, "After performing a head count of both the living and the dead bodies recovered we can confirm the deaths of twenty seven anbu, nineteen jonin, forty-two chunin, six genin, and about two hundred civilians. There are many people who have gone missing that we must assume are dead. All things considered we got off easy compared to what could've been." And with that last comment Ibiki sat down.

There was moment of silence in the chamber after hearing the death toll. Some were praying for the soles of the fallen and others were considering what this meant for Konoha. With the loss of the jonin and anbu the village had lost a significant portion of its strength. The force that fought against the Kyuubi was made up of anbu, jonin, and mostly chunin which is why they suffered the most casualties amongst the shinobi force. The six genin were probably killed while evacuating citizens. With a heavy heart the Hokage turns to the civilian side before speaking. "Miss. Haruno can you report on how much repairs will cost."

On the civilian side of the room at the top row a thin women with long pink hair stands and bows to the Hokage respectfully before beginning her report. "I had several contractors assess the damage of the attack and I was given an estimation of about $6,000,000." She reported before retaking her seat.

After a few more moments of silence a civilian decided to ask what everyone was trying to find the answer to, "What are we going to do?"

It was valid question. Konoha had suffered a major blow to its military strength and funding. If nothing was done the other villages would see this as the perfect opportunity to strike. Iwa and Kumo would join forces and march on a weekend Konoha and that would be the end for the leaf village.

After a few moments of silence a voice finally speaks up, "I have a plan. It's an inhumane plan but if we pull it off right we can scare off the other villages and prevent any attacks that may be sent our way." Hiruzen looks down in front of him and saw it was Danzo who spoke.

Danzo was Hiruzen's best friend back when they started their careers. When Hiruzen decided to become a Hokage Danzo decided to work as his shadow. He would do what needed to be done no mater how dark so that Hiruzen could work in the light. The acts he committed put a rift in their friendship, but Hiruzen knew he always had Konoha's best interest in mind so he kept him as an advisor. Danzo suffered from an accident a few years ago that had left him with a constantly bandaged head exposing only his left eye. His right arm was damaged shortly after forcing him to rely on his personal division of anbu called root. Hiruzen noticed Danzo was looking at him for permission to continue so with a nod he was given the ok.

"Before I detail my plan I must confirm one thing." He begins before looking straight into Hiruzen's eyes, "Is that child your holding the new jinchuriki?"

Hiruzen had planed to bring that fact up later but decided to answer truthfully. "Yes, this is Naruto Namikaze, Minato's son. He was used to seal away the fox, we owe everything to him for his sacrifice."

Everyone but a select few looked shocked at the information that had just been revealed to them. But before anyone could comment Danzo spoke up again, "If he's Minato's child then my plan should be even more effective." At everyone's confused face he decided to elaborate. "My plan has a few phases to it but the end goal is to turn Naruto into the ultimate weapon for Konoha" Many people present narrowed there eyes at Danzo already having a faint idea of what he was planning.

"Danzo I'm not letting you put Naruto into your root program." The Hokage warned.

"That's not exactly what I had in mind please listen to my whole plan and reasons before you decide." Danzo took his silence as a sign to proceed, "Phase one is simple we gather the populace of Konoha together for an announcement. We will tell everyone that the fourth had sealed the Kyuubi away into the child Naruto Uzumaki this will accomplish two important tasks. Discourage any invasion attempts and turn the population against Naruto."

Hiruzen, who was trying to remain calm, decided to speak up, "If I may ask why announce Naruto as an Uzumaki? How can an infant jinchuriki protect us from an invasion when he isn't even old enough to throw a punch? And finally why would you ever make a child the target of so much hatred?" Hiruzen was upset despite how well he hid it. It took a conscious effort to keep from shouting by the time he was done.

Danzo was aware of the glares he was receiving for his plan but knew he had to convince them for the sake of Konoha, "To answer your first two questions the seal on a new jinchuriki is somewhat week. If we were to be attacked we could sneak Naruto behind enemy lines and break the seal to allow the Kyuubi to rampage and tire before we recapture it. We must announce him as an Uzumaki because if the other villages learn about the possibility of a second Yellow Flash they will panic and send assassins after him before he becomes too dangerous. We want them to be afraid not to panic. Your final question will be answered after I'm done explaining my plan." Danzo looked around the room to make sure everyone understood before continuing on. "Phase two will require a little more attention. We will monitor Naruto for the first few years of his life and make sure he doesn't gain any friends. He must feel alone if this is going to work." Danzo ignored the increase in hatred being directed at him for what he wanted to do to Naruto. "For phase three we give Naruto a friend for him to get attached to and train with. Once he gains enough skill and strength with his friend we begin phase four." Danzo takes a deep breath before he announces the next part of his plan. "Phase four is where we have the child's only friend killed."

The room exploded into chaos. No words could be heard over the constant shouting of both civilian and shinobi council. Even the ever stoic Hiashi Hyuuga seemed disgusted at this plan. "ENOUGH!" The shout had silenced the entire room and turned to the voice's owner. To say Hiruzen was pissed off would be like saying an atom is small. His face promised death for anyone who interrupted what he was about to say. "What you're proposing will completely kill him off on the inside. How could destroying his emotions benefit Konoha in any way." His anger could be heard in every word he spoke letting Danzo know a wrong answer here could lead to his death.

Danzo turned to look each person in the eye before finally settling on Hiruzen as he began to speak, "With his emotions gone we can begin phase five. We will train him in everything we can ninjutsu, genjutsu, taijutsu, fuuinjutsu, and anything else that will come in handy. By the time his training is complete he will surpass all others before him while remaining loyal to Konoha."

"BUT HE'S ONLY A CHILD!" This time it was Haruno who spoke up. After recently becoming a mother herself she couldn't even begin to imagine any child going through what this man had planed.

Danzo didn't seem phased. "Exactly he's A child. By going through with this plan we will gain a shinobi that will make all the other nations cower in fear. As long as he is loyal no one will dare attack us. If we sacrifice this child we can protect countless more." Everyone seemed quieter now. Danzo could see they were conflicted so he gave one final push. "Look we're week right now, we lost a large portion of our budget, and morale is at an all time low. This plan could save everyone."

"Everyone but Naruto." The Hokage interrupted in a defeated tone.

"Yes, he will be sacrificed so that Konoha may survive. But we are the leaders of a shinobi village we must do what we have to in order to protect those precious to us." Danzo took a deep breath before he finished. "Even if we go to Hell for it." Danzo replied in an equally quiet tone before he walked out of the room. No one heard the quick apology he muttered to Naruto under his breath.

1 Hour later - Hokage's office

Hiruzen stared out the windows of his office once again before he heard the sound of a small poof behind him. Turning around he saw it was one of Jiraya's messenger toads. Quickly removing the scroll from the toads mouth Hiruzen read the message.

To sensei

I've been informed about the situation by one of my sources. I ask for your permission to retire from my spy network to take care of Naruto. Minato named me his god father and I want to live up to that title.

Sincerely Jiraya

Hiruzen pulled out a blank scroll, brush, and ink before he began writing his response.

To Jiraya

Don't worry about Naruto I promise to look after him in your stead. Konoha needs you and your spy network now more than ever before.

Sincerely Hiruzen Sarutobi

After the toad disappeared with the scroll Hiruzen slowly stood up and walked to the makeshift crib containing Naruto. He picked up the child and made his way to the top of the Hokage tower to announce the third jinchuriki.

Omake

Hiruzen walked out to the edge of the tower with Naruto in hand. He looked over the people he swore to protect and cleared his voice for the announcement as he activated a jutsu to project his voice louder to everyone.

"Hear me citizens of Konoha I come before you today to make several announcements and introduce you to someone very important. But before I do would like to assure you all that we will make it through this. This situation could be much worse than it currently is."

"How?" A random voice in the crowd asked.

"How what?" The Hokage asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How could this situation be worse than it is I mean we're extremely vulnerable to the other villages so how could things possibly be worse?" Hiruzen rubbed his chin as he began to think about how to respond then an idea hit him.

Hiruzen turned to his secretary and quickly listed off a few things he needed before the young women ran off

30 min later

In the past thirty minuets a large white screen was hanging from two large poles attached to the Hokage Tower. As for the Hokage himself he can be seen attaching wires from what looks like a crystal ball to a projector once he was done he went back to where he first addressed the crowd. "As you can see I've attached my viewing crystal to a projector. If you don't know what my viewing crystal is it basically lets me spy on uh I mean observe my shinobi. Yes that." Everyone in the crowd sweat dropped at there Hokage as he continued as if he didn't slip up. "Anyways I've recently learned a new jutsu that let's me see other dimensions with it so I'll show you how it could be worse."

Without another word Hiruzen did a hand sign bringing the crystal and projector to life. Everyone turned to see what life was like in another dimension

When the image came into focus they were looking at what appeared to be a normal town the buildings were taller than in Konoha and closer together. However what wasn't normal were the huge, naked, humanoid creatures that we're walking down the street. Whenever they came across humans they would simply eat them without a moment of hesitation. Occasionally a normal sized human would fly by on some strange machine that worked using cables to maneuver in the air. These people would kill the giants by cutting the back of the neck. Apparently the projector had good speakers because everyone could here what was being said.

"Oh god the titans are attacking the city!"

"Ok guys stay calm and follow me"

"Oh no Armin watch out!"

"EREN NOOOOO!"

"I got him!"

"Do you guys ever feel like we're being watched?"

"Not the time Mikasa!"

Everyone could only watch with dropped jaws at the scenes of death and destruction before them. The projector shut off and everyone turned there heads to the Hokage. "Yeah, we could be those guys."

So what do you think was this worth reading? Was it better than the last chapter? Feel free to tell me I'm always open to constructive criticism

Just to let you all know the next couple of chapter will be set in the elemental nations. Naruto's childhood will play a huge part in the decisions he makes so I don't want to rush through it.

I will also reveal who I've narrowed down the pairing to in a couple of chapters

If you don't know what I'm referencing in the Omake it was an anime called attack on titan I highly recommend it.

Speaking about Omakes I spelled it right this time what now?

until next time c ya
