'Kyuubi's thoughts'

Rising Storm

Prologue

Twelve years ago

The Third sat at his desk looking over the pile of papers that detailed the costs of repairs of the Kyuubi's attack several weeks ago. 'Damn. He did this to me on purpose. He sacrificed himself so he wouldn't have to do all this paperwork.' He thought with a chuckle. He stood up and walked toward a nearby crib. In it was a blonde baby boy with whisker marks on his cheeks. 'Too bad he can't watch you grow into a strong ninja like himself...' He knew the Fourth wanted his son to be considered a hero but the people thought him to be the demon itself thus the whole law about not mentioning it. 'People can be so ignorant.'

Suddenly a miniature tornado appeared in his offfice and in the center of that tornado was a young man dressed in similar robes except they were grey with black cloud designs on it. Some of the clouds had lightning at their bottoms. "Hello old man." The young man said with a smile on his face. His eyes however said something different. The Third Hokage sighed and said "Please show some respect Hiro-sama." Hiro bowed to him and replied "Forgive me Hokage-Sama. May I sit down?" The third waved to the seat in front of his desk and Hiro sat down in it while the Third sat down in his own chair.

"So…" he began, "I can only guess what would bring the leader of the legendary Hidden Storm Village to my home." "That's right. So let me guess, that's my twin sister's kid!?" The third nodded and Hiro walked over to the crib looking at the baby boy. "Got his dad's hair and eyes. But that's my sisters' nose and chin." Hiro chuckled. He then saw the seal on the belly. "That's a powerful seal. Not even the best seal-breakers of my village can break that." He turned to the third holding the baby. "You realize what I must ask of you. This boy is the only family I have left. I wish to take to live with me in Hidden Storm village so that not only he'd learn our families techniques and history but also about his mother."

The Third thought about it for a while and then said "It might be a good idea. Since the sealing of Kyuubi, several attempts have been made on this boy's life." Hiro stared at him in shock. "How dare they…" "Yondaime wanted his son to be raised like a normal boy so he concealed the fact that he had a son." "That conniving bastard. I wonder if he ever knew that Kasumi and I promised each other that we would be godparents to each other's kids." "You two figured one of you would die before reaching 30?" "It's a twin thing. Also as a safety precaution, myself being Kage of the Storm, her being Ambassador to the Leaf. So Sandaime, do I have your permission to take him or not?"

"On two conditions, One I'd like him to come back someday cause don't forget this is the village he was born in. Two, I'd also like it if one of my former students checked up on him while he's living with you." "Only if it's Tsunade." Hiro said with a smirk on his face. "Hell no! Besides she's at least a decade older than you." "You know what they say about older women. 'They more experience in certain areas." Hiro said with a huge blush. "Forget it. I'm gonna send Jiraiya." "I don't want that peeping tom anywhere near my village. You hear that prevert?" Hiro shouted that last part to the door behind him.

The door opened revealing the Toad Sennin. "I can't believe you would call me a prevert after all we've been through." Hiro stalked over to him and said "I can because you were dumb enough to peek at my sister more than once while she bathed. However since you were Yondaime's teacher I'll let you enter my village. However you will be watched by ANBU and believe me you won't be able sneak off to any female baths with them watching." He then smirked at Jiraiya "Nor my personal harem." "Jiraiya had a huge nosebleed and that comment and the Third wasn't to far behind. "I'm kidding. God now I know where he got his pervertedness from. Well before I leave what is this boy's name?" Sandaime turned toward him and said "Uzumaki Naruto." "So he has my family name. That's good news. It would have been funny trying to explain my relation to him if he had his father's name. Catch you both later you old perverts." Uzumaki Hiro said before he and Naruto disappeared in another mini tornado.

Author's note: I'll explain about the Village of Hidden Storm and it's relationship to several of the other ninja villages in the next chapter. Also the next chapter will feature some of Naruto's first six years in Hidden Storm and will introduce some original characters as well as one from the manga/series.

To my loyal fans if any sorry for taking so long but my computer died and I was hit by a writer's block the size of Everest.
