Naruto: The Fairy Tail Shadow. Chapter 0: Prologue

It was early in the morning of October 11th in Konaha. The night before had seen the Village Hidden in the Leaves attacked by the Nine Tailed Fox and his assailant. during the battle they had lost not only there leader the Fourth Hokage Minato Namekaze but his wife Kushina Uzumaki, the former Jinchūriki of the Nine Tailed Fox Demon. In the Hokage's office lay a young child who the only remaining remnant of their lives in Konoha, their son Naruto Uzumaki. As he cried his lungs out the small newborn did not know that he held a terrible curse. One of a Jinchuriki.

Thrust back into his old position Hiruzen Sarutobi watched as the sun rose over the village. He looked down at the newborn baby as a sad smile appeared on the old man's face. 'Naruto, forgive me for what I'm about to do. I hope that one day... One day you might find it in your heart to forgive this old fool... I'm only doing this in the hope that this might give you the chance of a normal life.' However Hiruzen's thoughts were cut short as he heard a sudden knock on his office door. "Enter"

Following the Third Hokage's command he seen from the window's reflection that two young shinobi entered his office. One was wearing a Konoha's standard chunin jacket while the other was in ANBU gear. Both with their forehead protectors covering their left eye.

"Lord Third, you called for us." Obito was the first to enter the room.

"Yes, I need a favor from the two of you." Hiruzen turned from the window to face the two young shinobi. "As I'm sure by now you know that last night your sensei the Fourth Hokage along with his wife are no longer with us... Along with a quarter of our village as well... All in the aftermath of the Nine Tails' attack."

Both young shinobi nodded as the Third Hokage continue'd.

"What you don't know is that in the aftermath of the attack we believe we've discovered who instigated the attack..." Pausing for a brief moment Hiruzen placed a silence seal over the room cutting off any potential prying ears. "Listen I trust both of you boys. I know Minato held his students in high regards but what I'm about to say does not leave this office."

Both Obito and Kakashi both looked at each other nervously as the Third Hokage spoke but he continue'd not allowing them in interject. "I trust you two with this information which has been given the rank of an SS class secret."

"Lord Third, I don't think we should be told an SS class secret what ever it is! I mean we're too young! Isn't there someone else?" Kakashi asked the Third Hokage.

"No, you are actually the only ones in this Village I trust with this information. You are the future of this village and the only ones capable of the task I'm about to ask you." Hiruzen turns a basket on his desk revealing a newborn baby on his desk. "This child was born last night just moments before the attack. His name is Naruto, he's Kushina and Minato's son."

The two boy looked at the newborn and felt their hearts break at the sight of Naruto. 'He has Kushina's face with sensei's hair...' Kakashi thought to himself.

'Sensei's legacy... Wait! Is one of us going to be given the task of raising him... I mean i'd love to but I can't! Me and Rin only started living together I'm not gonna turn up and say, "Hey Rin, ya'know how sad we were when we found out that sensei and Kushina died last night? Well I have their son. Can we keep him?" She'll go through me! Well not really. First she'll cry a bit and after about an hour or two she'll say yes. Not to mention the way i planned that conversation sounded more like I kidnapped him! Wait where am I going with this again...' Obito's head buzzed as his thoughts took him to a million different directions. Hiruzen was thinking maybe he made the wrong choice in asking him to be there.

"Obito could you please calm down. As I was saying Minato and Kushina have called the boy Naruto. And he is also the new Jinchūriki for the Nine Tails Fox." Both Kakasi and Obito were taken back by the serious look that was showing on the Third Hokage's face.

"Kakashi as a member of the ANBU black ops you have known for a while that Kushina was the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails. What you didn't know was during pregnancy the seal that traps the beast inside becomes weak over time. WE had planned for Naruto's birth outside of the Village as a precaution." Hiruzen informed both Kakashi and Obito.

"Is that what happened to them? did the Nail Tails escape the seal?" Obito asked.

"Not exactly... Minato's dying words told us that the seal wasn't broken by the Nine Tails but by Madara Uchiha. This is why you are here Obito. It appears your report over Madara being still on this earth was correct. Personally I mind doubted your words but in my heart I believed you... Only now I can see I was a fool in not taking any extra precaution... For that I am sorry. If only I had taken action with your return we could have avoided this catastrophe." Obito and Kakashi looked at each other after hearing the Third Hokage's words.

"Lord Third, do you think Madara would go after Naruto? Is that why we are here?" Kakashi asked with a concerned voice.

"No, I don't believe he will be trying anything at this time. It's believed that Minato somehow to injure Madara, so we should have some time. But my worry for Naruto is not from Madara but within the village itself. This is the reason I placed this silence seal over this room. Thankfully in the last few hours after re-reading your report Obito, I have managed to think up a plan that I believe will be the best course of action for Naruto... I want the two of you to send Naruto into another dimension."

"...WHAT!" Both Screamed at the Third Hokage who was taken back by the loudness of the two shinobi combined. He had heard Obito shout but never Kakashi he always seemed to be the quiet one of Minato's trio.

"Calm down and let me explain why I have asked you to do such a horrible thing."

"You're damn right you're gonna explain it. Not only have we lost our sensei and half of our old class from when we were genin but now we will be losing our sensei's son! How is that fair? Why do have to do such a thing?" Kakashi snapped at the Third Hokage. Obito however was left speechless as he waited for the Third Hokage to explain.

"I'm asking you to do this because he the new Nine Tails Jinchuriki. and I know you have both seen the looks poor Rin has been getting since the Hidden Mist sealed the Three Tails inside of her. Do you think I wish or expect this child to go through the same thing?"

Obito was close to tears when he thought back on how the people of Konoha had slowly turned on Rin. She was always so happy and brought joy to people with her smile. it happened slowly but over the two years since she returned a Jinchuriki they now don't even walk on the same side of the street as her let alone look at her.

If it wasn't for the fact she was older than what Naruto is and having Obito, Kakashi, Asuma, Kurenai, Might Guy, Sensei and Kushina along side her Obito knew she would never have been able to smile again. In his heart he knew the Third Hokage was right. With no one to look after him from the start his heart sank into the deepest part of his very soul. Obito didn't want to bear the thought of what Naruto would experience.

"Kakashi, I know this is tough and I know this might seem too much to ask but it must be done for Naruto's sake. What we are doing is trying to give the boy a new fresh start in life. So that he might be able to have a childhood, to smile and not have a worry in this world. For no one to look at him with hatred or fear of the demon that is sealed inside of him. Please Kakashi, I beg you do this for your Naruto." Hiruzen dropped to his knees. Kakashi knew he wasn't begging because he was the Hokage but as a friend of Minato, his Sensei. He also felt that he was asking for forgiveness for this plan he had devised.

"Lord Third, you don't have to be on your knees. It's... All just all too much too soon..." Kakashi's head feel in shame of his rant before.

"I know. And I truly am sorry for asking this but we must do this now. But we must act quick before Danzo finds out that the boy is alive and is the new Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails. I know you both don't trust Danzo. Both of you have seen his attempts to influence Itachi Uchiha from his shadows so I shall not go into it any more. I have already prepared scrolls for him. They are for basic tree climbing, water walking and a few of his father's jutsu including the Rasengan, Flying Raijin and I also added the Second's Shadow Clone. So we must act quickly."

Kakashi and Obito both looked at each other and nodded in silent agreement before turning back to the Third Hokage. "Could you give us half an hour Lord Third?"

"I'm afraid the most time I can give you is ten minutes. I cannot afford too much time for Danzo to make his move on the boy. Whatever you wish to give to Naruto make it quick."

As fast as lightning itself they both moved around the Village and grabbed several items as Kakashi sealed them inside a different scroll and placed it beside Naruto.

They stopped outside of Minato and Kushina's small house. When they entered it seemed like time had stopped. The living room still had there smell and they still felt the warmth of both late shinobi. They grabbed several items and sealed them inside several scrolls. Obito then noticed on top of Minato's desk was a scroll that was marked 'Nine Tails.' They looked at each other wondering if Minato knew something might've happened. They both agreed to take the scroll with them.

As they were leaving Kakashi seen their sensei's haori jacket with the markings of the Fourth Hokage. Knowing it was something that should also be passed on it too was sealed inside a scroll. Leaving as quickly as they arrived in now time they arrived back at the Hokage's mansion.

"Lord Third, you do know that some might see this as weakening the village, don't you?" Obito asked with a worried tone.

"I do Obito but let this old man worry about that." Hiruzen smiled at the young shinobi.

"We're ready Lord Third." Kakashi stated.

"Naruto. I pray to whatever god is watching over you that you'll live a happy life." Those were the last words spoken to Naruto while he was in his home world. Kakashi and Obito looked at each other before they both grabbed hold of Naruto's basket. Kakashi then lifted his forehead protector and along with Obito they both activated their Mangekyo Sharingan and entered the dimensional world.

(Unknown Place, Year and Time of Day.)

Arriving in a strange world both Shinobi weren't used to seeing a city lift up so brightly late at night. They remained hidden in the shadows looking to find a place where they could leave Naruto. They thought of leaving Naruto by the giant church they seen. But they thought otherwise. They soon came across a large building not far them the church. It had marking on the front gate and flags containing the same emblem. They noticed that their were lights inside the building so they waited until someone left.

Meanwhile, Makarov Dreyar and his grandson Laxus were the last two members to leave a magic guild in the Kingdom of Fiore called Fairy Tail. Suddenly Laxus noticed a basket appear out of nowhere. Seeing this he ran up to it, ignoring his grandfather's calls to stay by his side.

"Gramps look its a baby! It's a baby inside and basket outside the Guild! Why would someone leave a baby outside of a guild doesn't his mommy and daddy want him?"

"I don't know Laxus. I don't know. I can't leave him here I suppose we should had him to the proper." Makarov wasn't able to finish as Laxus had grabbed his grandfather's arms with tears in his eyes.

"No you can't Gramps, you can't do that. We have to look after him!"

Looking into his grandson's eyes Makarov knew he would never win this fight with him and gave in. "Well looks like I gained another grandson"

Seeing this old man and young child lift Naruto from his basket Kakashi and Obito left this world and Naruto behind.

That's it for the first chapter. I've hoped you've all enjoyed it!
