Chapter 1: Humans' greed

Hashirama The first Hokage of the Konoha, The village hidden in the leaves. No one deny that he was a powerful shinobi. When his enemies think about they see a force that should have been categorised as a force of nature, but even they have to admit that he was a man that deserved respect. When the typical person thought of him they would think of an unstoppable force that brought peace to the Elemental Nations. When the people of Konoha thought of him they would think of a God's gift to them.
Before him the elemental nations was made of many clans who constantly warred and fought for land and resources. Bloodshed and pain were a typical thing in life as battles were fought every day. Despite all this the worst were the Bijuu, tailed beasts. They were beasts of immense power rivalled only by another. They roamed the land and terrorised the humans of the Elemental Nations.
Then came the Senju and the Uchiha clans. The two clans of ninja that were rivalled only by each other. When one fought the other was called to fight back. Then one day both clans decided that they had enough of the bloodshed and chaos that plagued them every day. Hence the leaders of both clans came together and had an agreement. They would create a new system of villages and that would be unstoppable to any other human force in the world at the time. They had a single deciding battle which destroyed the mountains and drained oceans to decide who would lead the new village. In the end Hashirama won and under him came the first Hidden village, The village hidden in the leaves, Konoha.
Then Hashirama had used his Mokuton which was capable of subduing the Great Bijuu together with fuinjutsu from another clan to seal the Bijuu. The strongest was sealed into his wife while the other eight were temporarily sealed into objects and sent out to the four other Hidden villages which had formed soon after Konoha. Hashirama said this was to create a power balance in the Elemental Nations and promote peace. No one thought otherwise, no one except his own wife.
Hashirama Senju's wife Mito Uzumaki knew otherwise. She came from the Uzumaki clan which resided in The village hidden in the Whirpools, Uzushiogakure. To the Elemental Nations not much was known about the Uzumaki clan. What they knew was that the Uzumaki specialised in fuinjutsu and that the Uzumaki had advanced healing capabilities and longevity. That the Uzumaki were extremely loyal to their village and would not stop in battle even if it meant their deaths.
However many things were not known to many. The Uzumaki had a royal class that Uzumaki Mito as a part off. The royal class were also in fact not human. They were legendary beings that were already there before the gods, beings that could match up to the gods themselves. Beings who could never truly die. While most of these beings had gone to eternal sleep eons ago when they felt that they were no longer needed .A small family of themwere never able to join the others in their sleep. They decided to simply watch as time passed by. They watched as cvilisations grew and fell, as species and races helped and destroyed one another. One thing never changed throughout though and that was their familial bonds to one another. Of the many things they grew to agree on as they watched was that generally humans were sad and disgusting creatures who constantly fought without proper cause.
So when one day they came across a group of humans who were different they decided to intervene.
.
.
.
A long time ago a group of wanderers and survivors had built a village on an island. They were people who had difficult pasts and always cherished family. They flourished since they were separated from the rest of the Elemental Nations at the time and away from the chaos that plagued the rest of the world. They had all once been part of the chaos but had managed to escape. Over time they became a big family and hence started the loyalty they would be known for generations later.
Then one day a minor Ninja clan had discovered them and their leader who was greedy and cruel decided to make slaves of them. The people were not warriors and especially not Ninja. They had no means to defend themselves against enemy Ninja. So they prayed. However they did not they leave their fates entirely to chance. They took up arms and prepared against the enemy and to their credit never once did any infighting occur. For they had always held onto and upheld one belief, family before anything and everything else.
Fortunately for them the preparations they made to fend off the attackers were never tried and used as a group of beings did answer their prayer. Impressed by their loyalty for family they decided that such a thing was too precious to be destroyed by human greed and had to be protected.
On the day the attack was imminent. Massive whirlpools burst forth and surrounded the island. The attackers never had a chance as they were dragged down to the deepest depths of the ocean, crushed by the immense pressure. Ships were torn apart and flung far away and enemy ninja walking on water simply met their watery graves for even they could not out power the whirlpools. Where the villagers had gathered and were prepared to fight to their last breath immense creatures of fire formed a circle around them. The creatures were covered in fire and took the form a huge birds. The birds of fire landed around the villagers and for a few tense minutes simply stared, almost like they were judging the people they had just saved. Suddenly one of the birds let out a small call and every villager tensed. Then they were bathed in a bright light as they froze and prepared for their deaths. Only to find seconds later humanoid beings of immense grace and beauty in the place of the fiery birds.
The otherworldly beings had found the people worthy. They thought the people how to defend themselves, how to build a more advanced systems while always making sure that they remembered their loyalty for family. The people were also thought fuinjutsu a lost art to humans till now and were blessed by the phoenixes to have greater bodies than others. Overtime the phoenixes and the villagers became so closely attached they became family to each other. Eventually the phoenixes decided to stay in the human forms and settle down in the village and together as a family they decided to name the village Uzushiogakure, the village hidden in the whirlpools in honour of the event that had changed their fates.

Even after many generations they Uzumaki had not lost their most important belief. This is also why Mito Uzumaki knew that her husband was not exactly the greatest person in the world. Mito was part of the royal class and hence a phoenix but since she was still young, relative to her species, she could not fully access her powers yet. When she had fallen for Hashirama her people had supported her, even when she left the island for her husband. When Uzushiogakure was attacked by three other Hidden villages she had begged her husband to send Konoha troops to support her birth village. He had told her that he would send help. When news that her village was defeated and destroyed she was utterly shocked and fell into despair. Hashirama though had never once comforted her throughout it. She eventually became suspicious and paranoid. One day she had went to his office and under the guise of wanting to spend a day together got Hashirama out of his office. She left a shadow clone of herself and when they left her clone went through the files concerning Uzushiogakure. She was shocked at what she had found out. Hashirama had never sent help. When she confronted him about it he had in response grew mad and said a statement that shocked Mito to her core.
"When you came here you became a part of the leaf and hence you should always put the leaf above all else, Uzushiogakure was nothing but a stepping stone for Konoha." Her husband had cruely told her. Their relationship practically shattered then and there. Eventually Mito and Hashirma fought. Near the ending Hashirama was almost defeated as even he could not go against a phoenix, an immortal bird, and hope to win. However Mito could not bear to deal the last blow, for she still held love for Hashirama in the deepest corners of her heart. That single hesitation was all Hashirama needed. Apparently he had known this would happen eventually and thus he had prepared one of her most powerful beforehand. He had summoned forth the Shinigami and Mito was sealed into the Shinigami itself.
Mito greatest mistake was falling for Hashirama.
However Hashirama was not happy.
Hashirama being an extremely strong and cunning shinobi knew that without the backing of phoenixes Konoha would eventually lose its position as the strongest. So for years he searched for a way to cement Konoha's power without much success. That was until he received news from a squad of ninja sent to Uzushiogakure to take any items worth taking. The ninja had found a survivor. The minute Hashirama saw her he knew that he had found another way. He had found another member of the royal class.
Uzumaki Kushina was a phoenix. With seals taken from The Uzumaki they held her deep under Konoha and sought to break her every day, for if he could not have to phoenixes helping Konoha willingly, then he would have them forced to do it. They tried every method they knew but she never broke. For decades she held and nothing Hashirama tried worked. Then Hashirama was killed in battle and his brother, Tobirama, took over who took over as the Second Hokage also failed. Then came the third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen. Who then after also failing to break Kushina picked another successor, Minato Namikaze. Minato would then be the one to come up with an idea that would have a phoenix as a loyal weapon to Konoha. Together they schemed and after months they were convinced they had a fool proof plan.
.
.
.
The first phase:
When Minato Namikaze takes over the Hokage position he will 'release' Kushina and have her temporarily stay at the Hokage mansion. Then convince her that he was sincerely sorry for what the past Hokage's had done.
'Soft…' Were the thoughts of a certain redhead as her eyes blinked open. Soon after she immediately froze as she realised that she wasn't in her cell anymore. She immediately sat up only to notice a blonde spiky haired man apparently sleeping by her bedside. She immediately tensed when she saw the Hokage hat on his head. This was also picked up by the blonde. "Don't worry, I'm not like my predecessors. In fact I would like to apologise for all that they have done to you." At hearing this Kushina face changed from defiance to shock to disbelief and finally relief. Tears started to roll down her face as she attached herself to Minato and cried out tears of joy.
The second phase:
Minato will attempt to get Kushina to love him and marry him. Then they are to have a baby. After Kushina has given birth Minato is to reveal parts of the plan to Kushina so that she will get destructive. Minato will lead her to several civilian populated areas of Konoha and make sure that Kushina causes some destruction. Minato will then defeat her like Hashiram did.
The newlywed couple sat side by set on the roof of the Hokage mansion as they enjoyed each other's presence. A few others later they had consummated their marriage. Nine months later Kushina had given birth to a new baby. "Let me hold my Naruto." Kushina whispered out quietly. She was met with no response. She looked at Minato's face only to see a cruel smirk. "Finally I can stop this little charade, your baby will be the perfect weapon for Konoha!" sneered out Minato as he laughed at Kushina's plight. Just like he predicted Kushina transforms into a phoenix but due to the betrayal and despair she goes into a frenzy.
The cries of villagers being burned alive rang throughout that night before The Foruth Hokage 'defeated' the demon bird which attacked their village.
The third phase: Predicting the villagers reaction Minato will then proceed to make the baby's life in Konoha hell. Sarutobi will then 'care' for the baby and manipulate the baby into becoming Konoha's loyal weapon.
"Konoha, despite what many of you think I have no killed the demon. Instead I have only managed to weaken it and trap it into the form of a child. However the demon child must not be killed because if he is killed than he will regain its powers and kill us all." Shouted the Fourth Hokage to his village while holding up a baby for the village to see.
That was the start of a very painful childhood for Naruto Uzumaki.
"Why jiji?" whispered a blonde boy as tears streamed down his face.
"The villagers are simply grieving Naruto, remember the demon that attacked them 7 years ago hurt many of them, do not blame them for it. Unfortunately you remind them of the demon. Try and forgive them." Said the Sarutobi in a kind old voice.
.
.
.
The plan was to turn the baby into Konoha's greates weapon and cement Konoha's position as the strongest. Should the plan fail or the demon child not be loyal to Konoha there were less pleasant alternatives.
From the minute the child was born he had seals placed onto him. The seals that were placed on the child enabled to Hokage to restrict the child's powers, both human and phoenix. They would enable to Hokage to always know the child's location and even kill the child should the child ever pose a threat to Konoha.
The plan was perfect in a way, it should have guaranteed that Konoha had a powerful weapon. However humans in their greed had severely underestimated demons and monsters too much. Plans have a tendency to go awry, and things never went according to even the most well thought plan.
On Naruto's eighth birthday they boy was in the forest of death. Planning to hide there away from the villagers for every year on his birthday it was when the beatings were the worst. He had found a cave and had stashed in in enough supplies to last him a few weeks. Now all he could do was hope no one found him. Unfortunately for him this year Konoha's snake mistres was roped into finding him lest she got into trouble with the Konoha council. Konoha's snake mistress, Anko lives in the forest of death and it wasn't hard finding a blonde with not stealth training. Soon Naruto felt several snakes bite into his flesh, the snake venom soon incapacitated him before he could even scream.
"Die Demon Scum!" Naruto woke up screaming in pain as he found a katana buried up to its hilt in his gut. He was bound to a stake in the middle of the forest and villagers both civilians and ninja surrounded him. Everyone had cruel smirks and sneers on their faces as they all rushed in to get a piece of the demon brat. Fifteen minutes later a squad of ANBU surrounded the boy and the crowd paused. For ANBU were elite ninja under the direct command of the Hokage. Sadly the uncertainty in the villagers was replaced with glee as the squad quickly faced the boy and started to form series of hand signs.
"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu(Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)!" shouted the squad of ANBU is unison. Soon the cheering of the crowd followed as they chanted and cheered the demons' death.
Unfortunately for them, a phoenix was a legendary bird of fire. The fireballs launched at the boy had covered the area in smoke. Oddly the fact that there were no shouts of pain from the demon was missed by everyone. Naruto found himself surprisingly unhurt from the fire. 'Did I just absorb the fire?' thought Naruto. The power Naruto gained from the fire broke the seals placed on him from birth. Then a feeling of power, euphoria and completion filled Naruto's body. The crowd the civilians and Ninja all stopped as they felt a pulse of unbridled power from the centre where the demon was. Then another pulse came, this one evens stronger even making a crater around the centre. Soon even more pulses followed each stronger than the other. Before the crowd even thought to run though the pulses stopped. Then a fiery explosion big enough to destroy the whole forest and then some came from the centre. Everyone there was caught, people were simply incinerated down to their bones. Even the metal gear the ninja had melted onto the landscape. Then a second explosion occurred within the first. This one much larger and expanded over a third of Konoha. All of a sudden what looked like a tear appeared in at the origin of the explosions and the body of a young child was sucked in. Then the tear closed up like it was never there.

Somewhere else in a distant part of the world.
A family of phoenixes sensed the birth of a new phoenix, with a very similar energy signature to their own. Immediately they took off in search of what could be a lost family member.
