It's been four years since Naruto enrolled into the academy and he could honestly say it's been hell all over. His friend Sakura drifted away from him ever since she started crushing on the Uchiha. Naruto particularly didn't like the boy because of his arrogance and he wasn't the only one. Kiba had an ego that thought men were superior to women and must submit to them. Naruto tried to make friends with some of the kids in his class but it seemed impossible. He tried Hinata Hyuga but according to her father and Kurenai, he was dangerous to be around and she kept her distance. Choji kept away, being afraid of being picked on by everyone and Shikamaru just thought it was too troublesome. Ino was a fangirl and kinda annoying. He did make one friend in Shino though and found the boy entertaining.
Naruto hated that he also had to start hiding his skills. During the first month of the Academy, Naruto scored a perfect on everything and guess how he was congratulated, accused of cheating. Iruka ignored him but Mizuki was the one always on his ass. Saying he was supposed to use the academy taijutsu style and looking at people's tests. When he went to Iruka, he was kicked out of class for disturbing the class and soon he was given the title deadlast.
When he went to the hokage, he stated there was nothing he could do about it or it could be seen as favoritism. He was slowly losing trust with the old man since he always let the council control his actions. Yugao was his second best friend and couldn't ask for better, she started to train him in using swords and Naruto decided to learn dual wielding to become the first of Konoha.
His only real concern was Anko, she hasn't messaged him in the past three months and he knew she wouldn't do it without a reason. He was hoping she would be ok but he still had faith. Currently, Naruto was sparring against Yugao in a kenjutsu spar using a wooden sword against her. "You need to focus." Yugao said.
"Right." Naruto said, going for more attacks. Naruto decided to come up with a style called the dancing storm, which required multiple twists of his body and spins.
"Alright Naruto-kun. Enough training for today." Yugao said. "I have a mission later on today, so take a break."
When Naruto heard this he kinda panicked. Everytime Yugao went on a mission, he was alway attacked by mobs. He escaped but it still put him in a state of panic. "How long will you be gone?"
Yugao shook her head. "Not sure, the hokage requested me. I know you're scared of the villagers and you can't attack them. But remember the techniques I taught you to escape." Yugao said before pulling out a scroll and giving it to the blonde. Naruto opened it and was happy to see a chrome color and gold blades in it. "I brought you these." 'only he would be able to touch. So if the fucking council try anything, they're in for a rude awakening. Sensei, when can we leave this fucking village.' Yugao asked herself.
"Yugao-chan. Do you think Anko-chan forgot about me?" Naruto asked.
"No." Yugao said without hesitation. "Anko was attached to you by the hip. I'm not sure what's going on but if I had to guess she probably tried to contact you but considering how this village sees you, someone must be interfering."
Naruto's eyes widened and looked down in sadness. "You're right, we're best friends. There's no way she'll forget about me."
"Good, now I have to go." Yugao said, leaving her home. Naruto went inside their apartment and decided .
Yugao arrived at the office and was surprised to see the elders in the office, glaring at her. "Hokage-sama what's going on?"
Hiruzen sighed and rubbed her temples. "Well, it seems the council has a problem with you living with Naruto-kun."
Yugao narrowed her eyes. "And why would those child beating fools have a problem with that?"
"Because it's not fair for the rest of the academy students to have the boy live and be trained by an anbu." Koharu said.
"And this is why I called you a fool." Yugao said, glaring at the elderly woman.
"Watch your tone, we are the council. Your leaders, we will not be disrespected." Homura said.
"You are not my leader or boss, I only answer to the hokage. And as to why you are fools, each and every student in the academy has a family or part of a clan. By Naruto living with me, I even the ground. I'm not stopping no one from training with their family nor am I part of a clan. You three are just cowards." Yugao said.
"Watch your tone or you'll be disciplined." Danzon said.
"You can try but your head will be on the floor." Yugao threatened.
"Enough!" Hiruzen said. The four stopped and turned to their leader. "We already discussed this in a meeting. Yugao, I'm afraid Naruto-kun is not allowed to leave with you any further."
"You mean you let the council boss you around. Fine but you'll tell Naruto-kun the news. I'm not since you did this without my discretion." Yugao said. Hiruzen's eyes widened, he knew that the boy was growing distant from him and if he was honest, he would prefer if Yugao delivered the news but he knew the girl would rather die than break Naruto's heart.
"Fine, I'll deliver the news later." Hiruzen said.
"Then I'll be on my way and complete my mission." Yugao grabbed the file and stepped in front of the elders. "And you three, consequence be damn. If I see you three as a threat to Naruto-kun, I'm ending all three of you because everyone in this room knows this village is better off without you three."
Koharu and Homaru sweated a bit. They knew Yugao was serious and hated them with a passion. They may try to order her around but they weren't in charge. "If you really want to help the village, why not train Sasuke-sama since he's the last of his clan." Koharu suggested, then the room temperature dropped.
"I'd rather die by slitting my own throat." Yugao said before leaving and slamming the door.
"Hiruzen, you need to get your subordinates under control. We can't have the jinchuuriki become attached. If the villagers attack anyone close to him, he could lose control."
"I'll handle the situation after Naruto-kun leaves the academy. I just hope your decision doesn't have any consequences." Hiruzen said.
2 weeks later, Naruto was getting ready to leave the academy after another hellish day. "Hey dobe." Naruto turned to see Sasuke looking at him. "What happened to you?"
"What are you talking about?" Naruto asked.
"When you first started the academy, you were a challenge. But you've gotten weaker." Sasuke asked.
"Why do you care?" Naruto asked.
"Hey! you have to show respect to Sasuke, Naruto." Ino said.
Naruto scoffed at this. "Respect is earned, not given for free."
Sasuke smirked. "It's not like you learned to give it, orphan. No parents to teach you."
Naruto gritted his teeth. "I wonder what kind of parents the loser had?" Kiba said, walking into the conversation. "Probably a nobody."
Naruto ignored them and left the class. When he was outside, he was met by Hiruzen. "Jiji? What are you doing here?"
"Naruto, my boy. Can you come with me?" Hiruzen asked.
"Um, sure. Am I in trouble?" Naruto asked.
"Of course not my boy. Now come here next to me and I'll transport us. Hiruzen uses shushin to transport them to an apartment Naruto didn't recognize.
"Why am I here?" Naruto asked as they walked in and saw it empty.
"This is your new apartment." Hiruzen said.
Naruto gasped and turned to Hiruzen. "B-but I was living with Yugao-chan."
"The council thought it would be better if you lived on your own." Hiruzen said in a warm tone.
Naruto narrowed his eyes as it turned crimson. "You mean the same dumbasses that like to see me suffer? What's the problem this time, I didn't do anything." Naruto yelled, startling the hokage. The blonde calmed down and started to cry. "Please jiji, I don't want to be alone again."
Hiruzen was heartbroken, he hated to see Naruto sad and he knew the boy needed a family. "I'm sorry but it's out of my hands, please remain strong."
"Just leave, hokage-sama." Naruto said, curling up into a ball. Hiruzen sighed and left before muttering 'I'm sorry'.
"Naruto-sama?" Naruto looked up and was amazed when he saw an adult white tiger with a scroll in front of it.
Wow, are you a tiger? You look beautiful." Naruto said with excitement.
"You know most kids would be scared to see a tiger. Anyway, My name is Kira from the tiger clan. I came to let one of the descendants of the Uzumaki clan sign the contract." Kira said.
"Really? I am allowed to sign the contract? Tigers are amazing." Naruto said, making the tiger chuckle. She uses her paw to push the scroll towards him.
"Just sign your name cub and perform the jutsu but you might want to seal off the room, that way no one can sense the chakra build up." Naruto understood and went through some hand seals surrounding the room and signed the scroll. "Great, now perform the summoning seal." Naruto did as instructed and summoned a white tiger cub with green stripes. "I see, you summoned Ventus."
"Huh, where am I? Kira-nee?" the cub said.
"Hey Ventus, it looks like your Naruto-sama personal summon." Kira said.
"Really? I'm a summon to Prince Naruto?" Ventus asked in excitement.
"Prince? What does he mean?" Naruto asked.
"Damn it, Ventus. Naruto-sama, there's something you should know about your mother and the elders." Naruto's eyes widened and listened to the tell that may change his outlook on Konoha.
"Why have I been called here?" Hiruzen asked. He was in another meeting, called by the elders.
"We would like to know if you remedy the situation with the jinchuuriki?" Homura asked.
"And what gives you the right to control me? Next time you try to pull this, I'll remove you from the seat." Hiruzen asked in anger. And it's Hokage-sama."
"Hi- Hokage-sama, what are you in a terrible mood?" Koharu asked.
"I don't know, maybe breaking a boy's heart and having someone you considered your grandson distance himself from you." Hiruzen said.
"It was necessary, when he's older. He can start making friends on his team?" Danzo added in. "He needs to learn how to rely on the fox and get accustomed to being alone. He'll grow stronger that way."
"And what if he doesn't make any friends? What if he decides to leave?" Hiruzen asked.
"Then let the demon leave, everyone will be happy." a merchant said.
"Fools, if he leaves then Kumo or Iwa we have another jinchuuriki. If he seems like he'll desert the village, we'll seal the fox in another." Danzo said.
"Won't work." Hiruzen said, gaining the warhawk's attention. "There's a reason why Naruto-kun is the only one that can control the fox, not that I have a reason to say. Trust me though, if the fox is removed. The village will be destroyed."
"Well I for sure am not going to let my little girl befriend him, I'm still unsure on how much influence the fox could have." Inoichi said.
"Yeah, maybe when he's older and stronger, I'll let Choji be friends with him." Chouza said.
"The boy smells like a fox, I have nothing against him but my son comes first." Tsume said. Hiruzen looked disappointed, these were friends of Minato and Kushina. This is not the life Minato would've wanted for Naruto but he couldn't force the parents to make the kids be friends with him.
"Hokage-sama!" Neko yelled, running in. "We've returned from the investigation and found Anko Mitarashi unconscious. You need to see something."
Hiruzen was in the hospital room, where Anko(16 years old) laid in bed, with one of his students. Jiraiya was analyzing the curse-seal on Anko's neck. "I have never seen anything like this. From what I can gather, there's a soul seal, a conversion and an amplifier. But the rest I can't make up, except there seems to be a slave seal."
Hiruzen's eyes widened. "Are you saying he's controlling Anko's mind, is she dangerous?"
"I doubt it but she could be influenced by the seal if she activates it. For now, she should be monitored." Jiraiya suggested.
"Alright, on another note. Since you're here…"
"I know what you are going to say. I'll see the kid when the time comes, I'm not ready yet and I have to make sure the village seems strong." Jitaiya said. "I would love to see my godson but I have to make sure the village is safe."
"Fine but I believe Naruto-kun should meet you. I'm afraid he'll become a flight risk." Hiruzen said. "He's growing up alone and the council is preventing him from being with a family."
"I will, when he becomes a genin. I'll train him and bond with him. Don't you worry." Jiraiya said.
"And what are you going to tell him when he asks you why haven't you been there for him?" Hiruzen asked.
Jiraiya chuckled nervously. "I was actually going to hold off on telling him about me being his godfather."
"So you're planning on bonding with him and telling him later. Jiraiya, that could backfire." Hiruzen said.
Yugao walked in while the two were talking, gaining their attention. She approached Anko's unconscious form. "How is she?"
"I need to seal the mark.I'll put an Evil Containment Seal over it. As long as she resists the curse mark, the seal will stay strong." Jiraiya then started to giggle like a pervert. "But she needs to be nude." Jiraiya said, glazing over Anko's developed body.
Soon the toad sannin felt steel touching his throat. He slowly turned his gaze towards Yugao. "I'd advise you to take this seriously." Yugao said with a cold stare.
"Yeah of course." Jiraiya said before sitting Anko up and having her back turn to him. He circled the seal and spread the seals around her body. When he activated, Anko started to grunt in pain and once the curse mark was contained, Anko calmed down. "There, that should hold. Now I'll be heading out. I'll keep in touch, sensei."
Hiruzen rubbed his temples before turning to Yugao. "Yugao, I want you to watch Anko. I'm not sure how this seal works but if he can influence Anko's mind, he could use her against us."
"You can't be serious? Anko would not be easily influenced. She was abandoned by him, wouldn't that be risky on Orochimaru's part to let a test subject be caught." Yugao asked.
"Yugao, the village comes first before personal feelings. I was hoping you would understand." Hiruzen said, raising his ki but to his surprise once more, she matched it.
"First Naruto-kun, now Anko-chan. Whose lives are you planning on making suffer next?" Yugao asked.
"Stand down." Hiruzen said. "I'll let you watch her because of your history. Remember your place."
"Fine, Hokage-sama." Yugao said with venom. Hiruzen left the hospital room, waiting for her friend to wake up.
6 Days later
Anko slowly opened her and sat up clutching shoulder. "Damn, when I find you Orochi-teme. You will become a fucking belt."
"Anko?" Anko saw Yugao walking in with a happy look. "You're finally awake!" Yugao said, hugging the snake mistress.
"Yeah, how long was I out?"
"For a few days. Are you feeling ok?" Yugao asked.
"No, this fucking mark. It burns, I can hear the bastard's voice in my head." Anko said.
"Well it gets worse, apparently, the hokage thought you could be influenced and told me to watch you." Yugao said.
"What? But I have always been loyal." Anko said, feeling betrayed.
"I know, that's why I'm telling you. He's become nothing but a coward." Yugao said.
"Am I free to leave?" Anko asked. "I want to see Naruto-kun and maybe get some dango."
"Well there should be plenty of that today. After all, it's the kyuubi festival today." Yugao said.
"Kyuubi festival? That means it's Naruto-kun's birthday." Anko said with a smile but started to panic. "Oh no, it's his birthday."
Yugao was confused by the reaction. "What's the matter, isn't that a good thing?"
Anko looked at her friend in disbelief. "You mean you don't know? Yugao-chan, Naruto-kun told me that every year on his birthday, the villagers hunt him down in a mob, labeling it the fox hunt. They're extremely brutal. When he was with me, the villagers couldn't touch him but now he's alone."
"But I was never informed by my Anbu of this, they always watch over him. Why is this the first time I'm hearing about this?" Yugao asked and her eyes widened. "Unless…"
"Unless they join in or ignore it." Anko said as the two kunoichi jumped out the window to find their favorite blonde.
"Get back here!" some of the villagers and shinobi said as they chased the blonde. "You'll pay for killing our family."
"I never killed your family!" Naruto yelled as he took to the roof. Naruto thought he was safe, until a kunai struck his leg. He landed on the roof and rolled into the ground. He tried to mold chakra but something was messing with his control. He looked up and saw an Anbu with silver hair, looking at him with a sharingan. "Help me, please." Naruto gasps when he remembers about that dojutsu from Anko. "He's putting me under a genjutsu."
"Now we got you." a villager said, grabbing Naruto by the neck. Naruto reached for a kunai but his body was wrapped by chains. He looked to his side and saw another mask figure, holding the chains.
"Please, it's been 11 years. If I was a monster, would I still be here?" Naruto asked out loud.
"We know you're trying to trick us. Now it's time for your punishment." one of the villagers said, holding up a butcher knife. When he brought it down, it was blocked by Yugao.
"Leave now!" Yugao threatened as Anko dropped down next to her, earning a disgusted look from the villagers.
"Anko-chan! You're back." Naruto said. Anko turned to him and gave him a wink.
"Well, isn't it the resident snake bitch." a villager said. Anko gasped and narrowed her eyes at this.
"What did you say?" Anko asked dangerously.
"What, you didn't think we knew how you became a traitor's toy and being controlled by him. Just like the neko niche being controlled by the demon?" Yugao and Anko started to raise their ki but someone one behind them had them beat.
Naruto's eyes turned crimson as he glared at the villagers. "Take that back, you're nothing but trash."
"Of course the demon defends his whores. Maybe after we kill you, we'll have some fun to cleanse them." a villager said, making the crowd laugh. "Yeah right, like we'll touch those filthy birches. You two are traitors for working with the demon and Orochimaru pet bitch. But don't worry, we'll set you free."
Naruto reached his boiling point. He broke the chains and charged the villagers in blinding speed, shocking everyone. He punched one of the villagers and grabbed another by the arm, then twisted. Some of the shinobi sent fireballs at him but Naruto roared, dispersing it. Naruto pulled out the kunai from his leg and swiped at the nin's neck, killing them. The villagers were startled by this and slowly stepped back. Naruto turned his gaze, glaring at them. "You dare act innocent after you attack me and insult my precious ones. You got some nerve, you are the monster-urgh!" Naruto was cut off when a chain appeared around him and he was electrocuted. The silver haired Anbu from before appeared in front of the blonde and put a seal on him.
"Inu? How long have you been here?" Yugao asked.
"I have been here since the beginning." Inu said. "I detained it."
"It? You better watch how you talk to him." Anko threatened.
"You have no authority over me, chunin." Inu responded.
"You're right, but I do." Everyone looked up and saw Hiruzen standing there with Danzo and Anbu. "Now can someone tell me what's going on?"
"Sir the villagers started the usual Fox Hunt and before they could harm Naruto, these two appeared and protected him. The villagers started to insult the girls, then Naruto killed some shinobi and hurt the villagers." Inu said.
"Hmm, you know it's illegal for an academy student to harm a villager. Plus he used that chakra, he should be punished if it's true." Danzo told Hiruzen.
"What, you can't be serious. They attacked him first and insulted the three of us." Anko said.
"Sir, it's true and Inu was here the whole time. He didn't even attempt to save him." Yugao said.
"My mission was to watch over him. He's in the academy, he should be able to avoid a few villagers." Inu retorted.
"And the shinobi's?" Yugao asked.
"I would've dealt with them if you didn't jump in." Inu answered.
"I see, well the villagers will transfer some funds to cover Naruto's bank." Hiruzen said. "And we'll discuss with the council what to do with Naruto-kun. Everyone leave and enjoy the festival before I change my mind." The villagers disperse and the elders did as well, leaving Kakashi, Yugao, Anko and Naruto.
"Inu, you're full of crap. You never told me about these hunts. I was your captain and you held information." Yugao said.
"I had it handled." Inu responded.
"Don't lie, you blame Naruto for your sensei's death. Is this some sort of revenge?" Yugao asked.
"If he was never in the area for the sealing, sensei would be alive alongside Kushina-sama and their child." Inu said. "But that thing took them away. I'll be leaving." Inu said before disappearing. Anko and Yugao glared at the spot he was at before grabbing Naruto and leaving.
Hiruzen was sitting in the council room after explaining to everyone what happened. "Well Hiruzen, I suggest a public punishment." Koharu suggested.
"And why that?" the hokage asked.
Danzon stood up and spoke. "Because the villagers are afraid. But punishing him and having him apologize, it'll show we can control the situation. Once the jinchuuriki apologize, he'll be set free."
"And what kind of punishment do you suggest?" Mebuki asked. She knew her daughter was secretly friends with the blonde and was told how Naruto suggested it to keep her daughter safe. If he was really a demon, would he do something like that?
"I suggested the Jolt Chains. He's to be chained by his arms and legs, electrocuted every time he refuses to apologize. It won't kill him unless we level up the level." Danzo said. The council agreed, while the clan heads just went along with it.
Hiruzen sighed and decided to go along with it. He promised himself he would make up to Naruto later and call Jiraiya to check Naruto's seal after it's over.
"What? So they kicked Naruto-kun out of my apartment and not only that, the council wouldn't let Naruto live with you because they believe it'll make him strong? When I find Kurenai and Hana, they're snake food." Anko said. Her,Yugao and Naruto were eating Dangos to celebrate Anko's return.
"It's ok, the training you two gave me helped a lot. Even though I have to hold back in the academy. I hate that everyone fears me for no reason." Naruto said.
"Don't worry, once you're a genin. I'll help you again." Yugao said. Soon three Anbu appeared and glared at the blonde.
"Hokage-sama ordered Naruto Uzumaki to come on top of the Hokage's tower." Inu said. The three sighed, they were prepared for this and shunshin to the tower. When they arrived, they saw the council there and Ibuki. Ibuki went through some hand signs and summoned two pillars with chains.
"Naruto Uzumaki, for committing murder. You are to be punished and the punishment is the jolt chains. We'll chain your arms and legs, then send a pulse of electricity through the chains. This is to teach you self control and not to act rash and attack the villagers." Homura said.
"What? Isn't that too much? They attacked me and insulted my friends." Naruto defended. "Every year they attack me on my birthday for no reason and the first time I defended myself, I'm in trouble?"
"Silence." Danzon spoke. "The council already voted, this is why you shouldn't let your anger control you. You attack powerless civilians and kill the shinobi of our government. I understand you defended yourself but you could've disabled them."
Suddenly the roof was filled with killer intent from the Anbu and Snake mistress. "You and the council have gone too far, Hiruzen." Yugao yelled, shocking the hokage that his Anbu called him by his name. "You let Naruto be hunted, put little effort into him and let these old coots control you. Don't you see this is wrong."
"I'm not going to let you do this." Anko said.
"Anbu, retrain them." Danzo ordered. Two Anbu appeared behind the kunoichis and restrained their arms. Ibuki approached Naruto and chained him up. Danzo nodded in approval. "Good, now let us begin. Remember Uzumaki, once you apologize sincerely. It'll end."
"Level one." Ibuki said, turning the dial. Naruto groaned in pain as the electricity went through his body. It wasn't that painful compared to his training.
"TAKE THAT DEMON!"
"YOU DESERVE TO DIE!"
"END THE DEMON!" Multiple civilians cheered, watching Naruto suffer.
"Are you ready to apologize?" Koharu asked.
"For what? Protecting the people I care about? Never." Naruto responded.
"As you wish." Danzo said, looking at Ibuki.
Ibuki nodded and twisted the dial. "Level 2" Naruto gritted his teeth in pain. It still wasn't bad but he was fighting the urge to scream in pain. "Level 3."
"Arghhh!" Naruto screams as electricity passes through his body.
"Do you want to apologize to the civilians now?" Koharu asked with a smirk. "It'll be in your best interest."
"Naruto-kun, please just apologize." Hiruzen begged.
"No, I don't regret standing up for Anko-chan and Yugao-chan." Naruto said again.
"Naruto-kun." Both kunoichi mumbled with affection.
"Fine, hope you can endure it." Homura said with glee.
Ibuki was unsure but did what he was supposed to do. "Level 5." He said as he turned the knob.
"Arghhh!" Naruto screamed as tears ran down his cheek. Anko and Yugao's hearts were breaking. They wanted to tell Naruto to apologize but they knew the blonde wouldn't. Kakashi was wearing his mask, watching with a smile. Kurenai and Hana were in the crowd, smirking as the blonde who took away their friend was being punished. When they heard what happened, they knew they were right and were sure their two former friends would be begging for forgiveness.
"Naruto-kun, I know you don't want to let them win but apologize." Anko said.
"No." Naruto said in a quiet tone. "I will never give in to the villagers, I'll make them regret what they did when I prove I'm not a monster." Naruto said.
"Naruto…" Mebuki mumbled. "Hokage-sama, this is going too far. Please, let him go."
"Mebuki, I didn't know you were a demon lover?" a merchant said.
"I'm not! You are just fools who can't see the difference. He has not harmed us at all and you treat him like a plague. I'm smart enough to realize this." Mebuki said.
"Naruto-kun!" Everyone turned to the crowd and saw Sakura running to the tower. "Stop hurting my friend. He saved me from bullies. He's not a monster, he's super nice."
"You see, the demon is controlling people's minds. He needs to be punished." another civilian said.
"Up the level by two." Danzo ordered, causing the four girls to panic.
"Danzo, don't. This could cause instant death." Hiruzen said with worry. He didn't want his surrogate grandson to die. "I'm sure Naruto-kun learned his lesson."
"Hiruzen, the boy just has to apologize. It's all his choice." Danzo said. "Up the level by two."
Ibuki hesitated but did as he was ordered. "Level 7." 'There's three more levels. I know I love a good torture but the gaki might actually die.'
"That's it ,break. Once your will has crumbled, you'll be easy to manipulate." Danzo thought, watching Ibuki turn the knob.
"Urghhhhhh!" Naruto screamed as blood ran down his nose. Anko struggled loose but was pushed to the ground by more Anbu. Yugap broke free and ran towards Naruto but was blocked by Kakashi.
"Move Hatake or you'll die." Yugao threatened, fingering her sword.
"This could be seen as an act of treason." Kakashi said, readying himself.
"ARGHHHHH, JIJI. HELP ME!" Naruto begged. The hokage's heart broke and wanted to step forward.
"Steel yourself, Hokage." Danzo said. "This is what he wants." 'Although if the weapon doesn't apologize, he'll die and we'll lose a powerful aspect. I can't risk upping the level to 9 but 8 should be enough.' "one more level." Danzo told Ibuki.
"Are you sure? He could die." Ibuki said.
"Apologize Uzumaki or you'll die." Koharu said. Ibuki pauses the pillars as they watch Naruto gasp for air.
"no…I…never…will." Naruto said, looking at the council with fire in his eyes. "I…love Anko-chan and Yugao-chan. I'll do everything to protect them." Naruto said with smoke coming from his clothes and skin. Everyone was shocked at the will of the boy. Even Danzo was getting worried.
Ibuki shook his head and turned the dial to 8. "Level…8."
"ARGHHHHHHHHH!" Naruto yelled, shaking back and forth trying to break free.
'He won't make it.' Anko and Yugao thought, crying.
'*Crack.' Everyone turned to the noise and looked up into the sky. There was a gold crack in the sky, then a gold light shot down towards Naruto and broke the chains. Naruto fell towards the ground but was caught by the figure who came from the sky.
"Naruto-kun." the figure said, covered in light.
"Who are you?" Danzo asked but when the light died down, everyone gasped. "Yondaime-sama."
Minato was standing there, holding a passed out Naruto in his arms. "Minato-kun, but how" Hiruzen asked but was shut quiet when he received a cold glare.
"Sensei." Kakashi mumbled but was ignored.
"Naruto-kun, wake up." Minato said with affection, shocking everyone. "Please Naruto-kun, wake up for tou-san." When everyone in the village heard that, they gasped.
"You can't be yondaime-sama. He is not a father to some demon." a civilian head said. Minato tossed his kunai towards him and disappeared. The merchant was instantly killed by a rasengan and teleported back to Naruto before he fell on the ground.
"It is the yondaime." a villager said in awe.
"Hiruzen." Minato said with a cold tone. "This is not what you promised me! You said my son would be looked at as a hero. I trust you with my son and you let the council almost kill him! And where the fuck is Jiraiya?" Minato said with a huge tone of ki.
"Sensei, are you saying he's your son?" Kakashi asked with a bad feeling in his stomach.
"How could you not tell? We look identical and don't think I don't know about the fox hunts." Minato said. Kakashi started to sweat. Minato turned to the council and glared. "I protected this village believing it was for the good and in return you tried to kill my son."
"We didn't know." a villager said.
"Yeah, if we did.." Chouza started.
"It shouldn't matter. Naruto-kun is a jinchuuriki. Not the beast itself. Do you realize if he died, the fox would've been released and him being the only Uzumaki left, you wouldn't have someone strong enough to contain the kyuubi?"
Everyone gasped, they almost released the fox. "Wait, if he's your son. Does that mean his mother is…?" Tsume asked with revelation.
"Kushina-chan? Yes, his mother is Kushina Uzumaki." Minato answered. In the crowd, Kurenai and Hana were in shock. Kushina was their sensei and they didn't know she had a son. The same boy they detested and tried to hurt. Hana was more in guilt since Inuzuka's were supposed to be loyal and some almost committed the biggest act of treason.
"What have we done?" Kurenai mumbled.
"Ugh…tou-chan?" Naruto mumbled, gaining Minato's attention.
"Yes, tou-chan is here." Minato said, cradling Naruto.
"Yeah you are, even though you aren't supposed to be here." Everyone turned to see a woman floating in the sky. "Seriously, breaking out the shinigami stomach with pure force. But I understand it was to save your son."
"Sorry Kami-sama." Minato said, not taking his eyes off Naruto.
"Don't be, your son was not meant to die and if he did, a lot would perish. Still, to do this to a boy and call it justice. What's wrong with you humans?" Kami said. "If I'm honest, I should wipe out this village." the villagers paled at this.
"No…don't" Naruto said, coughing. Kami smiled at the little blonde and floated towards him.
"You're a strange one. No hatred in your heart." Kami placed her hand on Naruto's head and healed him "I think I know how to help you." Kami placed her hand on Naruto's stomach and pulled back, with red chakra coming out his stomach. The chakra formed into the kyuubi in the sky. "Hello there, kyuubi."
"Kami, what do I owe the pleasure?"
"I'm here to make a deal with you. You and Naruto will be partners, I'll unseal and you will be his personal summon. You'll have your own realm and in return, he can still use your powers. Deal?" Kami offered.
Kuruma's eyes widened and he shook his head. "Deal, I like the kit and wouldn't mind it." Kami smiled and a seal formed on Naruto's right arm. Shape like a fox. Kuruma looked at Naruto and smiled. "It'll be interesting working with you." Kuruma said before disappearing.
"Why was a fox sealed into me?" Naruto asked.
Minato chuckled nervously. "I'll tell you later. How are you feeling?"
Naruto smiled and ran towards Minato, hugging him. "I get to meet my dad, best birthday ever."
Minato smiled and hugged him in return. "I am happy too, even though I wish the circumstances were different. Huh, I just noticed your whiskers are disappearing."
"I got another present for you. I know you breaking into the world of the leaving is illegal but I understand. How about until Naruto is a genin, I'll let you spend time with since you have to go back into the shinigami stomach."
Minato bowed and Naruto followed suit. "Thank you, Kami-sama." Kami smiled before disappearing. Minato looked at Anko and Yugao with a warm smile. "You two, for protecting my son. How about you come with us? I always wanted to train Naruto but I'm pretty sure I could use the help."
"O-of course." Yugao answered. Anko just nodded, still shocked. Minato grabbed their shoulders and Naruto grabbed his arm before teleporting away. Everyone in Konoha knew one thing that day, they fucked up.
