Konohagakure-no-Sato. 16 years after Kyubi attack.

She was pregnant.

Why had this happened?

What had she done to deserve all the hatred?

She just wanted a happy life, a big family…

Wait…she was pregnant…a child…family…but…she was only 16 years old…even worse…she was still an academy student…her Jiji had only recently found out about the purposeful sabotage of her time in the academy…the fact that she was a seal master didn't even matter. She had snuck into the Uzumaki compound after she had learned about her heritage, which in itself was quite a revelation…she had a clan…sadly it was dead, her being the last survivor…

But now…she could have a family…even if it was just the child…but…could she be a mother to said child?

What if it looked like its father? What if it looked like the man that raped her?

At least he was dead now. She had cut him up, awakening her Adamantine Chains shortly after he came and skewering him with them, before castrating him and ripping him apart. That bastard. The fact that he managed to get the jump on her, thanks to being momentarily stunned because she had been seen.

Should she tell anyone?

Who would believe her? Mizuki only found out about her gender, because he saw her undoing her appearance seal, seeing the blonde boy transforming back into a red-haired beauty. It had been a security measure put in place by Kushina Uzumaki, who Naruko recently found out was her mother. Kushina placed the seal on Naruko to conceal her true gender, knowing that the life of a Jinchuriki was a fate many would consider worse than death.

'I could purge the child Naru-chan…'

Ah Kurama. The fox had been there for her ever since it was sealed inside of her. When she cried herself to sleep, he pulled her into her mindscape, placing the small girl in his fur, giving her the warmth of a family member.

'I don't know, Rama-Tou-Chan…the child…it isn't responsible for what happened…'

'It is ultimately your decision, but how will you continue to attend the academy? How can you take care of a child when you are a Shinobi?'

'There is a large daycare for Shinobi children…I…I will try and talk with Jiji…he is called "The Professor" for a reason yaknow…'

Now, Naruko was sure what she wanted. She wanted a family. Someone that she could care for. Someone that would always be there. She would make sure that the child wouldn't suffer the same way she had!

Hokage Tower.

The aged leader of Konohagakure smiled at his surrogate 'grandson', when he entered the room in his usual fashion, kicking in the door and loudly announcing: "JIJI!".

"Ah, Menma-kun, what brings you here?"

"Could we talk in private?"

With a nod, Hiruzen dismissed the Anbu from his office, before activating the silencing seals that had been placed around the room. Thanks to one of Menmas improvements, the seals were now even capable of catching foreign Chakra signatures in the room, that Hiruzen had used to get rid of some ROOT Anbu, that spied on him, courtesy of their master Danzo Shimura. After losing about twenty operatives, the old "Warhawk" had given up on spying on his old rival, but the new security measures would forever stay in place. If the council hadn't been filled with a bunch of fools, Hiruzen would have given Naruko a field promotion to Chunin because of his mastery over seals alone, but he couldn't tell anyone that Naruto already knew about his burden, as well as his heritage.

After the Sandaime Hokage came out of his musings he took a closer look at Menma and realized that the 'boy' seemed deeply troubled. Deciding to give him a reassuring hug, he wasn't prepared for the 'boy' to suddenly hug Hiruzen tightly, beginning to sob, and eventually cry. After a few minutes of gently rubbing the back of his 'grandson' and speaking soothing words to 'him', the 'boy' started to calm down and take a step back from his grandfather figure. Swallowing the heavy lump in 'his' throat, Naruko began to speak.

"Jiji…I…I have…I have to tell you…something…" taking a heavy breath he continued "I…I am a girl…" she said, while undoing the seal on her body, revealing her figure to her grandfather. Hiruzens eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets when he saw the girl now standing in front of him. Gone was the blond, spiky hair, being replaced by crimson red hair, bound in twin pigtails and even then, reaching down to her hips. Her blue eyes turned a deep purple, while the whisker marks on her face were gone. Her thin body was replaced by an hourglass figure, and her B-Cup breasts could be seen. Instead of the orange monstrosity, she wore skintight, black Anbu pants, a sleeveless, crimson T-shirt, black combat boots and black, fingerless gloves. Her upper body, down to her thighs, was covered by a crimson trench coat with black flames at the bottom. Her appearance left the aging leader quite stunned.

"My real name…is Naruko Uzumaki…my mother placed those seals on me…in case I needed to vanish one day…" taking another deep breath, a single tear ran down her cheeks "A week ago…someone saw me…transforming in an alley…so I could…buy food that wasn't overdue…he…" now the tears began to freely flow out of her eyes and she continued with heavy sobs "he…*sob*…Mizuki-teme….*sob*…raped me…*sob*…" she threw herself into Hiruzens embrace again "*sob*…I…I am…pregnant…*sob*…the…the fox…confirmed it…*sob*" The Sandaime could do nothing more than continue to comfort her, making sure he didn't radiate massive amounts of killing intent, "KI".

"Men…Naru-chan…why didn't you come to me earlier?..." Then Hiruzen remembered that Chunin Mizuki had been found dead a week ago, having been ripped apart after he was castrated. At that moment everything clicked in the aging mans head. She didn't come to him for help with what had happened, but because she wanted to keep the child. He was sure that Naruko would do everything to be able to get a family, but there was something else. Hiruzen felt like she wasn't here only for support in her pregnancy. He continued to stroke her hair while she spoke again.

"I…I want to keep the child…but…how can I, while being a *sob* academy student…because…of all these temes…I will only graduate *sob* in three years…and…*sob*…if it gets out…that I am…a girl…and have *sob* a child…" She couldn't continue because the "Professor" interjected.

"Naru-chan, how about we create a new identity for you?" She looked up at him "No one knows about you being a girl, so how about we create you a backstory that fits with what you have been doing over the past years…you snuck into the Uzumaki compound and studied everything there, thanks to your Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone), so how about you becoming Naruko Uzumaki, the hidden Uzumaki I have personally taken care off since your birth. I could integrate you into the Shinobi forces…with your skill level, I could already make you a Tokubetsu Jonin…and thanks to your lineage, I would be able to give you the Uzumaki wealth, which is quite extensive and would be more than enough to support you and your child, while also giving you the ability to sign your child into the daycare."

By now, Naruko had managed to gather herself and calm down. Her grandfather had the perfect idea, at least until you consider "What about Menma? If he just vanishes…it would be quite suspicious…"

"Well, you would, of course, have to attend the academy in your disguise, but you could always send Kage Bunshin, or a Ketsu Bunshin (Blood Clone) in your place, but you would have to take care that they don't get into fights…more importantly, we would have to somehow get rid of Menma, and I already have an idea. The first Chunin exams that would be held after your graduation would be here in Konoha. Menma could die in a match once the third round starts, which would give us the perfect excuse of also giving you your full inheritance. I could argue with the council that the Namikaze family was always meant to be absorbed into the Uzumaki clan. Your status as Tokubetsu Jonin would mean that you would have to take on the role as clan head, but we can argue that you don't feel ready for it, because you have only trained in the Shinobi arts up until now, so we could delay it until your twenty years old, while I would act as a stand-in on the council."

To say Naruko was relieved would be an understatement. She could shed the identity of Menma, become a full-fledged Kunoichi, live in her compound and most important, she would be able to safely raise her child, and keep the hate of the village away from it. Hugging her grandfather even tighter, she spoke.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you. You are the best Jiji!" To which the Sandaime let out a small laugh, happy that her experience hasn't dimmed Naruko entirely. He knew that it would take time for her to recover, but he already had a plan for that and only time could tell how hard she would be influenced by everything that had happened.

1 hour later.

They had done it. Naruko was currently sitting in the living room of the Uzumaki compound, drinking tea and enjoying the fact that she would be able to make her life immensely better. Her grandfather and her had spent 45 minutes creating and discussing her backstory, noting down everything, so she could further study and internalize it.

She was Naruko Uzumaki, came to Konoha when she was three years old, having been brought here by her dying father, who had a deadly disease, which was not curable. Her 'father' personally knew the Sandaime and asked him to take care of his daughter, which Hiruzen did. Because the old man feared that people would try to force Naruko into a breeding program, he had raised her away from public eyes until she was strong enough to defend herself and had achieved the necessary rank to be able to refuse the CRA (Clan Restoration Act), which was only possible for Shinobi of Tokubetsu Jonin rank or higher. Naruko had been assaulted by some unknown Shinobi when she came back from an exhausting mission, which was the only reason he got to her, and even then, she managed to kill her assailant, but she had gotten pregnant in the process. Hiruzen had found the perfect division for her, but it would require extensive knowledge of her background, so she wouldn't give anything away.

Tomorrow, she would meet a woman that would be responsible to integrate her into the Shinobi forces. Naruko and her grandfather had the plan that she would visit the hospital in a month to confirm her pregnancy, although Kurama could already tell, and would be able to monitor the childs health. Once the pregnancy would be officially confirmed, she would be able to get an appointment at the Shinobi Daycare, where she could get a place for the child when she was working. Hiruzen had also suggested that she spent some time there as a volunteer, which was something quiet a few Shinobi did, either as guards for the children, or as caretakers. He had explained to her, that it not only prepared someone for their own child, but also serves as a way to get to know other Shinobi.

From what Naruko learnt about the daycare, it was always guarded by at least one Jonin, one Tokubetsu Jonin and a squad of Genin, while the caretakers needed to be at least of Chunin rank, and were required to take test every six months, to see if they are still capable of protecting the children, should the worst happen. Hiruzen had explained to her, how enemy nations often tried to get the children of their enemies, if the particular enemy was too strong to be taken down, something that made Naruko boil on the inside.

Why punish a child for their parent's sins? It made zero sense and was cowardice on the highest level.

The next day.

Naruko was in the middle of preparing her breakfast when the sensor seals in her compound went off, alerting her to a presence at the entrance, which Naruko guessed was her instructor. Making her way to the entrance and opening the door, she was greeted by the crassest Kunoichi one could imagine. She wore a trench coat, barely covering her or the fishnet shirt she wore underneath, leaving not much to the imagination, and you could clearly see her D-Cup breasts. She also wore a mini skirt, and from the way her upper body looked, Naruko could already guess that she didn't wear much underneath it. She wore sandals and metal shin guards over her knees. Her purple hair was styled like a pineapple while giving off a wild look.

"Hello there Gaki! My name is the sexy and single Anko Mitarashi, it's time to chew ass and kick bubble gum!" she said while fist pumping the air, confetti exploding behind her and a large banner proclaiming her title flowing in the wind. All in all, Naruko could only sweat drop at the Kunoichi that was assigned as her guide.
