First ever story. Anyways, review and share with friends. Criticism is okay and advice is loved. Hate mail is not desirable. Finally I guess I should say I own nothing.

"What are we going to name them, Minato?" asked the tired red head nearly asleep on the hospital bed.

"How about after the land of Whirlpool, Kushina?" asked her husband, his sapphire eyes looking on his wife with a curious mixture of love and pure exhaustion. The last nine months of his life had been tiring, but, after the next nine minutes, he would be able to take a long needed rest.

Kushina stared at her family, all three with sunshine hair eyes of the deepest blue. Raising her hand to her newborn little boy's head and rubbing the singular tuft of hair on his head she said, "Naruto," and the boy began to laugh. She moved her hand to her beautiful baby girl's cheek and said, "Naruko," while the girl grabbed her hand and began to suck on a finger. "MInato, do what you must, and I'll be here for them." She faded into a fitful sleep.

Minato took her hand and held it tight, for the final time, before he gently kissed his wife once on the lips. He left the building and, with tears raining from his sky blue eyes, he summoned a humongous toad. "Let's do this, Gamabunta." He jumped to the amphibian's back, and the boss toad jumped toward the danger at hand, a beautiful and merciless form of nature, a golden-red nine tailed fox of a massive size. It was unfortunate that no one saw a man with a black cloak and a single rotating eye leave the room with a bloody kunai, leaving Kushina with a slit throat and the attending nurse with much less.

As the toad jumped overhead, shinobi stopped fighting to watch their leader, Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, enter battle. They expected to see his famous justsu, either a rasengan or the legendary hiraishin. Instead all they saw was a burst of red and blue energy and a smoke screen as the toad left. When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a single blond baby boy. The boy wept, for he no longer had the warmth of his mother, or even the touch of his father. Whisker marks appeared on his cheeks, one line at a time, and a red light shined through the blanket where his belly lay. As the light dimmed and disappeared, the boy turned to sleep.

"Jiraiya, what do you mean?" asked Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage.

"I'll say it again. There are three souls here, and one seems to be slowly shrinking. However, it will take years for it to be absorbed. My best guess is that two of the souls belong to Naruto and his sister, and the third is the fox itself. Over time, the Namikaze souls should absorb the Kyubbi's power and knowledge. If anything, due to the Kyubbi's steady regeneration of chakra, they should both absorb at least nine tails worth of chakra." The white haired men looked into a crib at Naruto, the boy moving restlessly, even in his sleep. Old eyes turned to look at older eyes and they contemplated what had happened.

"How can Naruko's soul absorb chakra without a body?" pondered the newly reinstated Sandaime.

Jiraiya had no answer, and there was silence for a moment. "Now what do we do about the boy? I can't bring him with me. He would ruin all cover I may have with my spy network and put his life in danger," said the Sannin.

"Well, I can't adopt him either. It would draw too much suspicion on him. We can't have him used as a weapon or targeted as a threat. I suppose all we can do now is to put him in the orphanage and look out for him for as best as we can."

"Do you even know what you're saying?" Jiraiya asked, giving Sarutobi an incredulous look. "The first thing those civilians did when they saw him was try to 'kill the demon.'"

"You're right, Jiraiya, but what else can we do? We'll call him Uzumaki, after his mother, so at least Iwa doesn't target him. Other than that, well, only Kami knows." Both men sighed at looked at the infant, innocent of trouble, yet, seemingly conscious of it as he held his hand out to the world, trying to block it. He cried softly, even in his sleep.

"I'm going to kill you!" shouted the now enraged Naruto. This thirteen year-old stood over the body of his teacher Iruka, acting as the last boundary between him and the traitorous Mizuki.

"Just try it demon! I'm going to kill you and be considered a hero by Konoha for your death and my new employer for the scroll!"

Naruto felt a new sensation gather around him. His teeth lengthened, whiskers set deeper, and eyes slitted and turned a deep red with only a gleam of blue shining through. An armor of red chakra surrounded his body and a single red tail formed from the chakra behind him. He crossed his fingers and growled, in a feral voice, "Kagebunshin." Every visible speck of land was covered in Naruto's and, as Iruka watched on, Mizuki was beaten within an inch of his life. Naruto stood over his once sensei with newly formed claws and, as he almost brought down his hand, Iruka yelled out to him. One of Naruto's clones came over to him and held his arm back. They glanced in each other's eyes and the red chakra dissipated, and although the fangs receded a tad as did the claws, they were now prominent than before. Instead, Naruto merely knocked Mizuki out with a back hand before walking over to Iruka.

The still injured Iruka stumbled to his feet and said, "Naruto, thank you. Now close your eyes." Naruto did so and felt something being attached to his head. "You can open them now. You are now an official ninja of Konoha!"

Naruto opened his eyes, reached up, and felt the hitai-ate's cold metal. He smiled, as did his clone. "Thanks Iruka-sensei!"

"You're welcome Naruto. You deserved it after that. Now, let's go to the Hokage's office and explain this mess. First, though, release the clone."

Naruto closed his eyes, crossed his fingers, and tried to release the technique, only to discover it was already canceled. Frustrated with seeing the "clone" still there, he tried again, this time putting all of his remaining chakra into the effort. As he strained, the sky above flashed and thundered until lightning struck the clearing in which they stood.

Iruka looked away from the light, and looked back, fearing the worst for his former student. Instead he saw something extremely unexpected. "What the hell is this?" he wondered aloud.

Now in the clearing stood three people. Iruka was unchanged, but Naruto was different. There were now nine tails that waved from his body, the body itself appearing roughly sixteen and without any of Naruto's previous baby fat. His hair was only a tad longer than before, but both the tips of blond hair and blond tails were now the deepest red and Naruto released a new feel. It wasn't a dangerous or malevolent feel, but one of raw power. Across the clearing stood a figure who released a similar feel. This version of Naruto had long blond hair with small red highlights down it's length. It also had nine tails with similar highlights. Finally, however, this Naruto had certain... distinguishing characteristics. Her bust was large, her face was certainly attractive, and her proportions were perfect.

"Hello," spoke the girl and Naruto's foxlike ears perked upwards at the soft voice. 'Wait, since when did I have pointed ears?' he thought. In shock, he looked at his new body. He appreciated the muscle, but was confused by the tails and, apparently, fox ears. He sighed deeply, breathing in through his nose, and noticed he could smell the faintest traces of animals that had passed by. His eyes, despite the dark of the night, could see every detail of the girl, and he heard the quietest rustlings of some small animal in a tree on the other side of the clearing. Instinctively, he knew, almost as if he could imagine its outline, that it was a squirrel and her family, settling down for the night. He looked at his female version. She looked very much like his Sexy no Jutsu form, even including the long pigtails. He reached his hand behind his head to ask a question as he normally did, but found a tail had already subconsciously done so.

"Don't ask questions right now, Naruto. We need to talk to the old man fast."

Both Naruto and Iruka were shocked to hear the name that only Naruto used for the Hokage. They nodded dumbly and Iruka put a hand on each of their shoulders and, with the last of his chakra, shunshined to the Hokage tower.
