Prince Naruto

Chapter one

In a dimly litted room, furnished quite comfortably, sat 12 children, all of different ages but all looked similar. They all had red slitted eyes, sharp fangs, long, sharp nails and each held a different aura but each powerful in its own way. Also there was a symbol of a fox, their fox side since they could shape shift into foxes and humans. Only the royal family could do that so the royals and the commoners were distinctly separated. Their hair though was the only thing truly different about these dangerous kids. Each had a different colored hair color but not that different from each other's, just a few shades lighter or darker. The girls looked beautiful and pretty and the boys looked handsome and cute. Of course they would. They were the royal princesses and princes of the demon fox realm. They may look young but don't judge a book by its cover. Each has wisdom beyond their years. They sat around a long grand rectangular meeting table, arranged from oldest to youngest, girl on one side and the boys on the other. They turned simultaneously toward the head of the table, which sat the oldest of them all, a 19-year-old teen. As he opened his mouth, a deep commanding voice rang around the ominous room.

"As you may have noticed, Otou - san has gone on a rampage into the human world. I believe he is very grieved about the death of Okaa - san and grew even angrier when a mere mortal tried to summon and control him. I have pinpointed his location. He is rapidly approaching one off the largest mortal ninja village in the mortal realm. A village named Konohagakure. The shinobis of that village have already discovered the fact that the demon fox, Kyuubi, is approaching their village at break- neck speed. Now according to my mind reading, they are planning to seal Otou - san into a newborn baby but we must not let them do that. A mere mortal cannot handle Father's full demonic powers so we need to send someone in our ranks. We cannot send anyone below us. They can not get a hold of one of the royal's power."

"So who do you suggest we send nii - san?" asked a girl of about 5 years old with black hair.

"Okaa - san gave birth to one last royal otouto before she died. His name is Naruto. He's only about 3 hours old. Hurry we must send Naruto to the human realm. I opened the portal to the human realm for this reason and this reason only. I can only keep it open tonight. After tonight, we have to wait for another six years. Only one of you can go through with our otouto Naruto. Yue, how about you? Since you are the second oldest, only one month younger than me, how about you go?" The oldest child questioned, turning to his left to look at a very attractive girl with long flowing pale blond hair that looked like moon beams.

"Sure Ryou nii - san. I shall complete my mission. But imouto (younger sister)Yiri looks like she awfully wants to go too." Yue replied with a little smile gracing her lips as she pointed to the same 5 year old girl with black hair that stated the before question. The little girl whose name was Yiri was wriggling in her chair, trying to get her big brother Ryou's attention.

"Please nii - san? Please? Please? Please? Please?" Little Yiri pleaded with her irresistible sad puppy eyes.

"Uhh. Fine. Fine. I'll let you go with Yue to supervise during this mission." Ryou gave in to his little sister's puppy eyes. "Everything you need is in this folder. Quickly go prepare now because we don't have much time. The Hokage of Konoha is now starting the seal jutsu." Ryou finished, as he slid a paper filled folder across the space between he and his sister Yue. "Now go."

"But where are we going to find otouto Naruto? And where is the portal to the mortal world?" Yiri's voice piped out.

"Yiri, all the information is in the folder. I checked." Yue answered her imouto as she shut the folder with a snap to bring Yiri's attention to her.

"Are we done chatting now? If you're done, THEN GO!!!!!YOU'RE WASTING TIME!!!" Ryou finished with a yell. The sound echoed around the spacious room for several minutes.

"Yes nii - san. We understand and we apologize for our behavior." Yue and Yiri respectively apologized. Both knew they should show respect their elders no matter if you're brothers or sisters. Everyone of the royal demon fox family has to show ultimate respect, like to a king. And supposedly, Ryou is now king of the entire fox realm since Father, the ex-king, was going to be sealed away.

Yue and Yiri sped down the hall and maneuvered around the maze-like corridors of their castle. They found the nursery hall and looked for Naruto in every room. It took about five minutes since there were about 20 rooms in that nursery hall and since their castle was so big, they had space to put so many rooms. Naruto was in the biggest and grandest room and was just practicing shape shifting into his fox form. His symbol on his forehead showed clearly against his pale skin. Yiri quickly picked him up and held him tightly as Yue teleported them to the portal's location with her charka. Yiri could teleport too, all the royals can, but she didn't want to so as to not hurt her otouto Naruto. Yue led the two into the portal and out the other side. Once they emerged she gasped in horror at what met her eyes.

Everywhere Yue looked, she saw chaos and destruction. She was standing in front of a waterfall, tree were trampled down all around her. She could hear screams of terror, fear, pain, anguish, and madness.

"Nee - san, are we there yet?" a quiet scared voice asked beside her.

She had forgotten that her little sister Yiri had never come to the human realm. She never even went through a portal to any other realms. During meetings or ball, the other realms' royals would always come to their realm. Yue was sad that this was going to leave a bad mark in Yiri's memories about the human realm. Yue often visited the human realm and always found it confusing, surprising, and most fun and entertaining. She didn't want Yiri to think that the human realm was all evil. Yue had many friends here and she wanted to make them proud.

"Yes, we're through the portal and only about a mile from the village gates. You can open your eyes now."

Yiri opened her eyes and gasped at the chaotic ness of the mess around her and the blood soaked ground.

"You know, Yiri, the human realm is not always this …… unattractive. It's just right now they're going through this big war and are having difficulties. Anyways, let's hurry up and get to Konoha to seal Naruto. We don't have much time left." Yue said as the portal flashed blue, and then back to red, signaling that they only have one hour left until the portal closes.

They sprang into the trees and took off at a speed only demon royals could reach. You couldn't even see a blur; only the trees' leaves blowing in the strange wind.

When they reached the village gates, they saw that it was already torn down and trampled. There was a stampede of people trying to escape the village with some of their belongings. They couldn't go against the current of people so they jumped over the walls. Once inside, they began questioning people about where the Hokage was. Suddenly they heard a horrifying roar that sounded terrifyingly similar to their otou - san's, Kyuubi's, roar. They immediately headed towards the roar and found all the shinobis of the village gathered there, trying to fight the Kyuubi but none succeeding. They headed for a particularly large group of shinobis that looked suspiciously like they were trying to protect the person in the middle. Yue pointed it out to Yiri, since Yiri was busy protecting baby Naruto from getting hurt and waking up. They made their way towards the middle, ignoring the shinobis that warned them to get away. They finally reached the person in the middle as he was asking a ninja about where the newborn baby was. The ninja was just explaining that the couple didn't want to sacrifice their newborn daughter when Yue suddenly interrupted.

"Please take my otouto Naruto. Use him to seal otou - san … uh I meant the Kyuubi in." Yue corrected herself just in time. The Hokage looked at her suspiciously.

"Thank-you. This means a lot to our village. He will be considered a hero for saving us."

'Yeah right. You obviously don't study the habits and thoughts of your own species.' Yue thought.

"Yiri, give Naruto to the Hokage." Yue told her little sister. Yiri reluctantly handed Naruto to the Hokage but she forgot to put an illusion onto Naruto's eyes, teeth, nails, and the symbol on his forehead. The Hokage recoiled once he saw Naruto. He could sense the newborn's powerful and immense amount of chakra. Yue and Yiri both grimaced as they realized that the Hokage saw Naruto's true form.

"What is that thing? What are you?" the Hokage asked with a shaky voice. The next instant, a sharp claw was right at the Hokage's throat, ready to cut it to pieces.

"First, that thing is Naruto, my otouto. And second, you don't want to know what or who we are." Yiri answered with a cold emotionless voice.

Just then, a Konoha ninja appeared beside the Hokage. "Sir, half of the shinobis we had left is now dead. What do we do now?"

"Keep on stalling it. I'm going to start the sealing now." The ninja bowed then quickly disappear to reappear in the midst of the fight, aiding his fellow shinobis.

"Okay, I will use Naruto as the Kyuubi vessel. Thank-you for the sacrifice but what about his appearance? He will certainly not fit in." the Hokage asked.

"Oh that's no problem." Yue replied as she swept her hand over Naruto. As she pulled her hand back, Naruto's eyes began to change from being slitted to being a round human pupil. His teeth dulled and his nails shortened. Her fox magic even managed to hide much chakra so if anyone sensed him, his chakra would be sensed as normal and not that much.

"But what about the symbol on his forehead?" the Hokage asked.

"Oh, I can't erase it. It can never be erased but it can be hidden with his hair. As he grows up, his hair will grow faster than human hair but the bangs will stop growing once it fully covers the symbol. Please watch over him. We put his life into your hands. It's time that we return to our own realm. Thank you." Yue ended. She hugged Naruto tightly and kissed him on the forehead. Yiri repeated that but held on longer.

"Yiri let's go. The portal will close soon. Good bye Hokage." Yue and Yiri made their way out of the village but stayed in the forest to watch the sealing.

Everything was quiet between the two until Yiri asked, "Nii - san, I know you left something else with Naruto. What was it?"

Yue looked at her little sister with a look of surprise. She was amazed that her little sister could sense that she left something. She tried extra hard to keep anyone from sensing that she left something else with Naruto but nevertheless, her sister sensed it. "I left a message composed with chakra. I programmed it to play the message when Naruto turns six. I told Naruto all about us, him, his powers, about his demon eyes and what they can do. Don't worry imouto. He'll be okay. We'll be able to watch over him through the crystal globe. And before you ask, I know. I sensed the other person's chakra, too. Even though he hid it well, nothing can be hidden from a royal fox demon. I recognized the chakra signature. It was the third Hokage. The Hokage that came before the Hokage we were talking to. Now let's go. We're running out of time." And with that, the two siblings stepped through the portal into their home realm to report their recent mission to their nii – san.

Back at the battle ground, after the sisters left

The Third Hokage stepped out of his hiding place to approach the Fourth Hokage.

"So you heard the whole conversation huh?" questioned the Fourth Hokage.

"Of course. Now let's start the sealing before the Kyuubi does anymore damage." The Third Hokage said as he started doing the seals.
