Naruto is going to be born three years older than cannon putting him two years younger than Itachi and the same age of Temari when we first meet her, and three years old then Konoha 9

Naruto was running from a drunken mob who were yelling "it's time to avenge the fourth". Naruto had just turned 3 and has been running from the drunken mobs for the past 6 weeks.

Naruto was 3 feet 4 inches which was rather tall for a three-year-old, he has long spikey golden blonde hair with natural blood red tips that covers the back of his neck as well as his forehead, bright blue eyes that could be mistaken as sapphires. Though he is tall for his age Naruto was skinny as his ribs showed from the malnutrition at the orphanage.

Currently Naruto was running through training ground 43 trying to get to training ground 44 the forest of death since that was the only place they wouldn't chase him. Just before he could make it to the fence a kunai pierces his right calf making him immediately fall to the ground in pain.

Naruto started sobbing from the pain of the kunai "I haven't done anything wrong, I just want to be left alone" Naruto yells after continuing to sob.

"Aww the demon wants to be left alone, well our families wanted to be left alone, the Thirds wife wanted to be left alone and the Fourth Hokage wanted to e left alone but instead of leaving them alone you killed them, so today we shall avenge them" Shouted a random villager with a pitch fork as she stabbed Naruto in the abdomen earning an earsplitting cry of pain from Naruto as he passes out from the pain. For the next 10 minutes they continue to beat on Naruto until they are convinced he was dead.

Hokage Office

Three-year-old Naruto Uzumaki, jinchurriki of the Nine tailed demon fox, was brought to the hokage about 10 minutes ago after yet another attack by the people of this village who couldn't tell the difference between a kunai and the scroll it was sealed into.

'What have I condemned this child to? No one deserves the pain he's been through' thought Sarutobi sensing an in coming chakra he turns toward the spot were an ANBU waring a bull masked appeared in a SHUNSIN "Report Bull" he said in a stern voice.

"Hokage-sama everyone involved with the attack on Naruto has been rounded up and taken to Ibiki. The last count there were 8 civilians and 3 chunin" Bull replied in a monotone voice

Sighing deeply the Hokage say's "Tell Ibiki he has free range on the chunin, do what ever he wants with them. Give the civilians to Anko tell her the only restrictions are they are to be kept alive till they are publicly executed for breaking my laws"

'Kami' Bull thought 'Giving Ibiki and Anko free reign to do as they wish' "Hai Hokage-sama" he said and disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

As Bull leaves Sarutobi made his way to the couch that Naruto was sleeping on. Looking over the child he couldn't help but shake his head at what this village has done to such an innocent child. His usually golden blonde hair was covered with drying blood, his shirt and blue shorts were torn and bloodied, his feet were dirty and bare. Not being able to stomach the thought of this happening to Naruto again the Hokage made a decision. The contingency plan the boy's parents made should something go wrong with the birth and the village doesn't accept Naruto. Sarutobi motioned for his hidden ANBU stationed around the office to reveal themselves.

Four ANBU appeared kneeling in front of the Hokage with their heads bowed, they were Cat, Crane, Bear and Lizard. "I'm about to instate an SSS-class protocol, wait outside until I call for you" he said

The ANBU guards hesitated for a moment, it was very rare for such a code to be used. As SSS-class protocol was code for no matter what you hear do not enter this office, unless suicidal as well as kill anyone who tries to enter the office no matter rank or position in the village.

After receiving a glare from the Hokage they left, taking up positions outside the room. After the ANBU left the room the Hokage put up his strongest sound proof and security barriers.

Moving over to the photo of himself on the wall, he picks it up and places it on the ground. Breaking the genjutsu on the wall, a very intricate seal was revealed. Biting his thumb and smoothing the blood on the seal, as a large scroll poof out. Moving to the center of the room with the scroll.

"That was amazing jiji, how you do that" he hears in a childish voice

Sarutobi turned around surprised to see the boy awake "How are you feeling Naruto?" he asks dreading the answer

Naruto just shrugged his small little shoulder's looking at his jiji with a sad smile "I'm fine jiji just a little sore"

Sitting next to him on the couch "Naruto-kun this scroll I hold in my hands, is my apology for life you have suffered here in the village. Naruto three years ago a terrible disaster struck this village, this disaster was the Nine tailed fox. The fox killed a lot of people that night and nearly destroyed the village"

"I know that jiji you've told me before. The fourth died killing it" Naruto said confused as to why his jiji was bringing this up

"The Nine tailed fox is a chakra construct, it has no life to end. The fourth Hokage couldn't kill such a being so he sealed it away"

Now Naruto was smart like Itachi level smart, so he easily put two and two together "Me, he sealed it in me. Why me? Why did he choose me?" he asked as tears threaten to fall

Sighing Sarutobi walked to his desk and withdrew from a cabinet a framed picture and handed it to Naruto "This Naruto is a picture of the fourth Hokage and his wife"

Naruto gasped at the sight of a man with wild blond hair and blue eyes standing behind a woman with deep red hair and violet eyes. They were smiling softly and the woman had a noticeable swell in her stomach. "These are your parents Naruto, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze. Your mother was also the last person to hold the Kyuubi before you"

He stopped when Naruto looked at him with a shocked face "On the night of your birth we took great precaution because we knew that the seal holding the Kyuubi in Kushina would weaken with child birth. I don't know the details as I wasn't there, but someone infiltrated the birthing chamber and released the Kyuubi from your mother's seal"

"Why are you telling me all this jiji. What is in that scroll, is it something my parents left me" Naruto asked

"Naruto… your parents when they found out about you made a contingence plan should something go wrong with the birth and the villagers don't except you. Your parents made a special type of clone that would last for years called a Blood Clone. In this scroll are those clones, they will train you, love you, raise you as any parent would" The Hokage said shocking Naruto

Moving to the center of the room Sarutobi unraveled the scroll showing two sections of the scroll, one labeled mother the other father. Like before he bit his thumb hard enough to draw some blood and, on each section, he wrote Kai (Release) as he holds the Rat hand sigh.

When two puffs of smoke erupted from the scroll. When the smoke cleared it revealed a blonde-haired man and a red-haired woman.

After taking a moment to orient themselves and look around them Minato focused on he one that summoned them "Sarutobi… while it is nice to see you again, if you summoned us then I'm guessing the contingence plan" to which he sadly nods

While they were talking Kushina walked over to the couch kneeing in front of Naruto "Sochi" she whispered. Causing Naruto to cry as he wraps her in a hug. After about 5 minutes Naruto cried himself to sleep with Kushina carrying him.

During those 5 minutes Minato was getting caught up on everything that has happen over the last few years with the elemental nations, the village, and Naruto.

"Whoever interfered with Kushina during her child birth knew what they were doing when they released the Kyuubi. What I'm most afraid of is whoever it was is still not done yet and will come after Naruto at some point" The aged Hokage said

"Don't worry old man… no one is going to lay a finger on my son… as long as I'm still here Dattebane" Kushina said grabbing Minato's hand

And with that the Namikaze family disappeared in a yellow flash. Sighing the hokage moved to the window overlooking the village wondering what the future would bring.
