Chapter 1: It begins

It was early afternoon, the sun was shining, the birds where sing, friends and family was happily taking a group pictures and playing games all having good time. All except one, The only one not having a good time was a boy of seven going on eight was sitting in a tree; he had blond hair and deep sapphire blue eyes with whisker marks on his face three on each check. This boy's name is Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze, and the blond was left out of all the family fun and games that everyone else was participating in; again this seemed to happen often since Naruto was old enough to walk and talk on his own, in favor of their other child his twin sister Nikko Uzumaki-Namikaze they did little to raise or acknowledge him. And today was October 10th, which was the worst day of his life because he was little more if not more than an ghost on this day 'their' eighth birthday and the day the Kyuubi-no-kitsune (9-tailed fox) was sealed in them both.

On this day eiight years ago the fox had somehow escaped from his previous "Jinchuuriki" (meaning the "power of human sacrifice"), Uzumaki Kushina who is fact 'their' mother. On that day of the twins birth the Kyūbi forced its' way out of the seal on their mother's stomach with the help of a masked man while she was giving birth to the both of them, he was born first by a full five minutes, and was kidnapped and used as a hostage to stall the Fourth Hokage and by the time the Hokage got him back the masked man had released the Kyuubi and his sister Nikko was born. By the time Nikko was born and the kyuubi released the fourth and both the legendary sannins Jiraiya and Tsunade had come. The legendary medic ninja Tsunade took 'their' mother to heal her from the stress of the fox breaking out and giving birth to twins, and while that was happening the fourth and Jiraiya used us as the new jinchuuriki's before the fox had the chance to go on a full rampage and destroy the village.

When the fox was just about turn on the village our 'great' and 'powerful' fourth Hokage, and our father Minato Namikaze, or as others call him the yellow flash stopped the fox from doing that. And the rest is history the fox and the fourth fought, he summoned the toad boss Gamabunta who stalled the beast as he and Jiraiya used "The demon Binding Seal" to separate the demon spirit from the chakra sealing the spirit inside Naruto and the chakra in his sister Nikko.

A few days later their 'father' informed the people that he had defeated the fox demon and sealed his spirit in me and the chakra in my sister, saying that we both should be viewed as hero's for carrying such burdens.

And guess how the village reacted to that tidbit of information (guessing in three tries gets you a free cookie).

Yep if you guessed right they only half listened to a word the fourth said started a calling, and that calling was for Naruto's blood, saying he was the demon fox in human skin or demon reincarnate, while calling his sister their savor and the hero of Konaha.

From that day onward there have been no less than four hundred and ninety-five attempts on my life and mostly have of those have happened at home and after every one of those attempts on my life the first one they would check on would be my sister Nikko. Now Naruto doesn't hate her but he feels that his parents have done something unforgiveable and that is tossing aside one life to focus on another.

Because of this Naruto has had much to do with his family other than eat dinner with them and sleep, he was always alone and left to his own devices. He has attempted to get closer to his family by asking to train with them, this also did not work as his parents would just blow off and continue training Nikko.

Well after trying and failing to get training from his parents, Naruto decides to train himself starting from the bottom up on everything making it his own and with a little help he actually made good progress on this style but it still needed work before it was ready.

"Hey! Naruto! Get down here!" Someone calling his name broke Naruto out of mental stoup per. He looked down from his perch in the tree to see some of his friends down below. There at the base of the tree he was sitting in were the loud Inuzuka heir, Kiba and his animal familiar Akamaru both held excited expressions on their faces, and on his right stood the stocked Aburame heir, Shino with his ever cool shades, 'mental note get a pair of shades in the near future' thought Naruto as he looked at the Aburame's shade before looking over the rest of the small group. And to the left of Kiba stood the shy Hyuga heiress, Hinata, and behind them stood the ever high spirited youth maniac Rock Lee.

"Oh hey guys, I'll be right down" Called Naruto as he nimbly jumped from branch to branch till he finally landed on the ground crouching on all fours. "So how's everyone enjoying the party, and where are Choji and Shikamaru at?" Questioned the blond boy as he went to lie down at the base of the tree he was just in motioning for the others to take a set around him.

"Everything is fine but it's not the same without you, and Shikamaru is on the hill ether sleeping, watching clouds or both and Choji is over there with him eating some if not most of the food that his family brought." stated Kiba as he sat to the right of Naruto with his familiar giving an affirmative bark. Kiba like most of his clan, has messy brown hair, sharp black eyes with vertical slit-like pupils, pronounced canine teeth, and nails that he can change into claws. He also has the distinct red fang markings of the Inuzuka clan on his cheeks, he was wearing a brown long sleeve shirt with a pair of blue shorts and lack sandals, and on top of Kiba's head rested Akamaru his animal familiar. Akamaru's eyes are usually closed, and he has a dark brown nose, as well as dark brown patches on his ears and a dark outline around his mouth. His fur on top of his head is styled to somewhat resemble a Mohawk.

Then Shino takes the space to left of the blond boy, wearing his light grey jacket over a blue button up shirt that goes all the way up and covers his mouth, also like most of his clan members sporting a pair of awesome black shades. "I'm also doing fine on this nice day, but I agree with Kiba's earlier statement the party is not the same without you there", said Shino as he made himself conferrable on the ground.

Then there is the shy Hyuga Heiress Hinata she was wearing a light jacket that was a bit if not too big on her, her lavender eyes full of joy and compaction her blue hair cut short so it hung just past her ears was about to sit on the grass until Naruto pulled the Lavender eyed girl into his lap which elected an 'eep' from her lips, "now Hinata you aren't getting away that easy you now." Said the blond boy causing the Hyuga to blush, "B-but N-naruto-k-kun e-everyone l-l-looking," stuttered Hinata. Causing every to laugh….well Shino didn't but you could tell he enjoyed it by the way his insects were buzzing. Hinata and her mother are possible the only Hyuga that are by all meaning of the word 'nice'. They care for others like they were their own family and treat the branch family like that 'family', and are by no means weak or a disgrace to the Hyuga name if anything they are the only thing beside the Byakugan that are good about the family.

Naruto leans forward just close enough to the shy Hyugas ear so only she can hear him whisper, "I don't care, let them look I have nothing to hide and neither do you. Because we are both strong so we can fight for what is ours and Hinata you are my best friend.(build up for something later. Who knows?) Dattebayo!" This caused the Hyuga Heiress to turn five shades of red that would make a rose wilt with shame before passing out.

"Yoshi! That was a most unyouthful thing to do Naruto; you shouldn't pull such trick on Hinata," Scorned Lee as he made a mock angry face at Naruto. Lee was at least a year older than them but he still loved to hang out with them because they were better most of the kids his own age, because they usually pick on him on how he couldn't mold or use chakra, which lead to him to prove them wrong by becoming the only shinobi to use only taijutsu, and be a master in of his own right.

"Yeah I hear you Lee it was just... she's so cute when she acts shy…OHOHOHOHOH!" yelped Naruto as Hinata had an iron grip on his ear and was pulling on it so he was looking at her sweet smile, which was a little too sweet if you asked him, "And who says that I was acting shy mister know it all?" (Yeah decided to give Hinata a little confidence boast so she's not totally shy.)

Now Naruto was sweating bullets and trying to conjure some form of reply when.

"Hey guys Nikko is about to open her presents!" called a lazy Nara.

'Phew… saved by the bell' thought Naruto as he and the others looked over to see Choji and Shikamaru walk towards the group. Choji like all Akimichi was . . . let's say a fluffy kid, and he always seemed to have a bag of chips to munch on, like now he was munching on a bag. While shikamaru was a lazy kid that could usually be found sleeping, cloud watching, playing shoji, and on an unlikely occasion doing all three which he would describe as 'troublesome'. Also he is one of the smartest Nara in his clan and both Choji and Shikamaru are clan heirs like most of their friends.

"Thanks for telling us guys well be right there!" calls Naruto as he somehow got out of Hinata's grip and was already running to the party with her running after him, while the others calmly walking right behind the pair.

By the time they got to the party Nikko was already through opening up some of her presents. Her first were a pair of wrist bands from Might Gai that can change their weight when Chakra was added, the more added the heavier they get. The second, third, and fourth were a Kunai, sendon, and shuriken set of a hundred each these came from from the Akimichi, Nara, and Yamanaka clans.

Her other gifts where some clothing (civilian and ninja cloths), books on Chakra control and medical jutsu, and other gifts coming from all the other major clans in Konoha.

After all the gifts from the clans had been given Nikko stood up and voiced her thanks, "thanks everyone for coming out and making my birthday very special, and I'm happy that you're all having a wonderful time."

Then Minato and Kushina stood up and walked behind their daughter, and Minato spoke, "I and my wife would also like to thank everyone for coming out because we have a couple of announcements to make that will hopefully change our live for the better."

Now everyone was wondering what could be so life changing and important, well everyone but our Favorite blond. If someone were to look at Naruto now they would see that he had lost almost if not all the color in his face, if it wasn't for him looking down, and he had his fist clenched so tight they were close to drawing blood. Because Naruto had a very good idea what was going to be said, because he had overheard them talking about it sometime back.

Flashback no jutsu /2 years ago/

It was dark in the namikaze estate, and everyone was supposed to be asleep, when one blond boy wakes up to go on an unscheduled trip to the bathroom to relieve himself.

'Oooh I shouldn't have drank that glass of water before bed' thought the young blond as he walked back to his room by the stairs to hear what sounds like his parents still talking downstairs. Curious about what they're talking about he stalks down the stairs to listen in on the conversation.

As he got closer he could he bits and pieces of it but what he got was the shock of his six year old life.

In the living room of the Namikaze-Uzumike household he could hear what his parents talking.

"…but Minato you can't just do that that's his birth wright something you can't take away unless the heir is proven to be unfit to lead the clan, how could you even suggest something like that!" was the response from his mother kushina Uzumike-Namikaze.

"But I think it is what is best for the two clans because Nikko has shown great strength and improvement over the years, don't you agree Kushina?" asked Minato to his wife,

But before she could answer Minato spoke again, "let me ask you this Kushina who is the strongest of Naruto and Nikko?"

"Nikko"

"Who is the fastest of them…"

"Nikko."

"The most agile…"

"Nikko"

This went on with listing thing that they have seen do as opposed to me and the answer being the same name 'Nikko',

"… So Kushina do you see Nikko is the perfect choose to be the heiress to both the clans." Stated Minato now waiting for his wife answer, and so was the young Naruto Hoping with all his might she didn't agree with him.

After giving it some thought she look into the eyes of her husband and said, "Yes let's do it but…"

Naruto didn't stay for the rest of the conversation as he silently got up and moved to his room where he silently cried himself to sleep.

"Shh its okay kit let it all out just cry until you can't anymore."

Said a voice so familiar, so caring, so… motherly. Is that is what he did he cried and cried until he cried himself to sleep with the voice still whispering to him calm and caring words.

Flashback on jutsu /Kai! /

Letting everyone settle down first Minato then continued his announcement, "as of today me and my wife Kushina have decided that Nikko is now clan heiress of both the Namikaze and Uzumakie clans." Proudly stated by the fourth Hokage.

This shocked everyone because naming a new heir was so rarely heard of that it was consider taboo, because the previous heir would either be killed or kicked out the clan, but none more shocked than both Naruto and Kushina, the later because they both agreed that both their kids would rule the clans together and in the process reconnect as a family, not… not… this. Then theirs Naruto who was just plan shocked that they had actually gone through with it that his brain had completely shut down.

"HOW COULD YOU!"
