Rebirth of the Namikaze clan.

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, Misashi Kishimoto-sama does.

Chapter 1.

This is my first try on a FF, and it is gonna be a NaruHina fic with some other pairings, and Sasuke and Sakura bashing. That special part is gonna be fun. (Laughing like a maniac.) But don't worry, Sasuke and Sakura fans, if this fic is a success or I feel like it I will put a none-sasusaku bashing fic on . Well then on with the story, and if it is not good then please give me pointers on how to make the next chapters better. ( As I said; absolutely first time I try something like this.) On with the story.

It seemed to be another normal day in Konohagakure no sato. Ninja running on the rooftops heading for the Hokage tower, merchants opening shop hoping to earn some money, citizens walking to work. Not to mention a certain orange wearing, 12 year old prankster, running from yet another mob of villagers and ninja. Normally he would not understand why they would be chasing him around the village, and he still did not understand the biggest reason for the new hunt. Although he DID understand the minor reason, seeing that he had pranked about half the people in the mob in a sudden «pranking spree» he had gotten in the night before. He had always hungered for someone to notice him, and that was the root of most of his pranking, that and getting revenge on the people who normally would walk all over him. This was just the start of another day in Naruto Uzumaki's life filled with pranks, beatings, schooling, ramen and even more pranks and ramen. When Naruto rounded a corner, he jumped into an empty trashcan and listened as the mob just ran right past him.

When he crawled out of the can, he failed to notice the shadow right behind him, that suddenly jumped out and yelled.

“HEY, NARUTO, WHY AREN'T YOU IN CLASS?”

Which made Naruto jump 6 ft into the air, do a 180 and land on his butt, looking up at a royally pissed Iruka Umino, with a head 5 times bigger than normal. Naruto laughs nervously, scratching the back of his head and looking for an escape route.

“Ehehehe, hello Iruka-sensei.”

As soon as Naruto said that Iruka pounced on him, bound him with ninja-wire, and pulled him back to the academy, while Naruto just wondered what the hell just happened.

When they got to the classroom, the rest of the class could only sweat-drop when they saw something that happened at least 3 times a week. Iruka pulling something that grumbled about,

“damn sensei's with a pranking detector as a nose,”

and wearing a bright, kill-me-orange jumpsuit, and had bright blond hair. Said thing being the “dead-last,” goofy, prankster of the village, Naruto Uzumaki, the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, the most powerful of the Bijuu. Even though Naruto did not know this, the adults of the village certainly did, and they did not follow the Fourth's wish, of seeing Naruto as the hero of the village for keeping the Kyuubi trapped. Instead of seeing Naruto as a hero, they saw him as the Kyuubi Incarnate. They loathed him for the attack of the Kyuubi 12 years ago, and tried to kill him on many occasions, he lived at the orphanage until he was 4. At that age he was tossed out and started living on the street, the old man the Third did not know of this, since the caretakers at the orphanage made him believe that he was still living there. Plus the guards at the Third's office denied Naruto access.

So Naruto had to live on the street for 3 years until the Third found Naruto in an alleyway, when out on a stroll and found out Naruto had lived 3 years on the street.

To say he was angry was like saying Anko Mitarashi was a LITTLE sadistic, which was a HUGE understatement. He made sure the ninja that usually guarded his door was remove from the shinobi ranks, and gave them a good, long season with Ibiki Morino, and Anko the torture experts of the village, as well as the worst pair of sadist's to come from the village since Orochimaru of the Sannin. When the caretakers was fired and replaced, the Third gave Naruto an apartment, so that he would not need to sleep in the garbage cans again.

He also allowed Naruto to go to the Ninja Academy earlier than others, people officially start there when they are 10, and graduated when they were 13, while Naruto needed the skill to survive in the village, meaning that he didn't have much choice in the matter. As it was shinobi training, or death at the hands of the villagers before he turned 13, seeing as he was 7 at the time, he should not have the body to train as a ninja yet, but thanks to the fox Naruto was strong enough to do the training that the other students 3 years his age did. 5 Years later, Naruto was still in the academy, seeing as he had failed the graduating exam twice and was half way through the last of his 3 extra years. Which would force him to give up on being a shinobi for good, that simple thought only seemed to make his pranks more colorful, seeing as Naruto had just put pink paint in a bucket and put it over a door and the first to get through the door was a shop owner who had tried to poison the boy multiple times. The guy stood there with pink paint all over him, while cursing so much that Anko that was walking past the scene of the crime at that moment, actually started to wright some of them down to use them later, seeing as they were all really good. The only thing the Hokage could do was laughing when he looked at it through his scrying orb, before going back to fighting the immortal enemy of all village or country leaders, the sinister paperwork that was absolutely all over the office.

When Iruka finally got Naruto to listen to him, he started to lectured him on things he had heard 5 times and did not want to hear again, an explanation on what the duties of a shinobi was. When the lecture was done it was already lunch, and most of the kids went outside to relax and eat. The only one that did not go out was Naruto, and it was understandable seeing that he had to plan where to hide the next day seeing as people got more violent at the Kyuubi festival which also happened to be his birthday. He didn't understand why, but at that date, October 10 Naruto was being the target of a kind of village hunt, where it was the village, against him.

“Guess I should try the caves in the monument.” Was all Naruto said, as people started to return to the classroom.

After finding a map of the cave system he started to study it, planning on staying in the hollowed head of the Fourth for the entire day seeing as he had only gotten 1 birthday present in his life and it was anonymous. He had found it at his doorstep with a note saying.

“Happy birthday Naruto-kun.”

As far as he could tell it was from a girl, but could find nothing else, it annoyed him that the person that gave it to him, did not show herself, but seeing as it was his first gift, and the fact that he really liked the goggles that was in the box, he decided to drop it. The next morning, at 5 o'clock Naruto was walking through the village towards the Hokage Mountain, Naruto kept thinking about the pranks he was gonna pull the next couple of days when he heard a deep dark chuckling that came out of nowhere.

“Okaaaaay? This is the seventh time this month.”

Deep inside Naruto, in a sewer like system of tunnels, behind a series of bars, with a piece of paper with the kanji for “seal” on it. A giant, blood red eye, with a slit pupil opened, on a giant fox with nine tails.

“Hmm, he should be ready in a little while, maybe even today, this may turn out quite interesting.”

Kyuubi grinned, showing a row of teeth the size of some of the buildings in Konoha. Naruto had,as the most powerful of the Bijuu went through the feelings and powers of his host, arrived at the entrance to the caves, and had taken out the map of the cave-system.

“Let's see, I'm going to move towards the head of the Fourth, so I should move to the left, then right then forward a little while, seems simple enough.”

(Three hours later)

“DAMN IT TO HELL, WHERE THE HELL AM I?!”

Naruto had, after about Two hours of searching found out that he had held the map upside-down, and when he finally found that out he was already lost, making it close to impossible to find his original target, namely the cavern in the Fourth's head.

“I swear if I don't find A-the cave, or B-the exit in the next Ten minutes, I'm going berserk.”

“.......THATS IT, I'M GOING BERSERK!!” Was heard through the caverns in the mountain after fifteen minutes of searching, while the Kyuubi was both amused and annoyed at the stupidity of the young Jinchuuriki, seeing as the cave was in the tunnel at the right side of him, while he was moving towards the tunnel on the left. Kyuubi decided to help Naruto get to the cave, seeing as it was time to show Naruto who he really was.

“Where the heck am I? I should not be too far from the cavern, unless I'm holding the map upside-down again.”

While Naruto was making sure he held the map the right way, the Kyuubi decided to make himself known to the blond prankster.

“You are going the wrong way kit, the cave is in the tunnel to the right, not the left.”

Naruto jumped, and looked around like a scared rabbit, while going in a very sloppy version of the academy taijutsu stance.

“Who's there?” He yelled out to the darkness in the cave, seeing as he had dropped the flashlight he had been holding the past three hours. The Kyuubi chuckled at seeing Naruto's reaction and said.

“Relax kit, I'm in your mind so it is no wonder you can't see me, and by the way you only need to think for me to hear you. Now you are probably wondering who I am correct?”

Naruto could only nod, being turned momentarily mute by the fact that he had something, or someone in his head.

“Well, it would be a lot easier if we were face to face, so I'm gonna draw you into your mind-scape, hold on just a second.”

Naruto then blacked out and woke up in a sewer, with water covering the floor.

“This is my mind-scape? Man I need to work on remodeling this place.”

“I couldn't agree more.”

Naruto stiffened and slowly turned around, just to come face to face with the Kyuubi, that was grinning showing off impressive teeth.

“Now kit, we are gonna have a nice long talk about why I'm here, and I'm gonna tell you about you lineage as well.”

Naruto could only look shocked at the fact that there was a huge, talking, animal in his mind, and that it seemed to know who his parents was.

“ W-who are you, do you know my parents?”

Kyuubi could hear the hope in Naruto's voice, and was a little unsure about his decision to tell him who his parents was, but seeing that he had already started, he should finish the talk with his container. No matter what the outcome would be.

“I think I should start with telling you who I am, I'm Kyuubi no Kitsune, the most powerful of the nine Bijuu.”

Naruto visibly paled when he heard that the demon that almost destroyed Konoha was in his mind, he also started stuttering out stuff that made no sense, which made Kyuubi chuckle.

“B-b-but you are supposed to be dead, how the hell did you end up in my head?” Was all Naruto could say when he got proper control of his vocal cord back since he was scared out of his skin, he had heard stories about how the Kyuubi traveled over the Fire Country, destroying everything in front of him no matter what it was. He then remembered that the demon was behind bars and calmed down, no longer looking as if he had been forbidden from eating ramen for the rest of his life.

“Heh, you finally calmed down, now to answer your question, the Fourth DID defeat me, but he had to seal me away to do it. Now, do you know what he was forced to seal me into?”

Naruto had a confused expression on his face, but it was replaced after a few seconds, with a look of pain and sadness.

“So, you telling me I am one of those Jinchuuriki's the old man told me about?”

The Third had, when Naruto had been sent to the hospital when he was six, been telling him a bit about shinobi and their lives, one of these things he heard was about the Jinchuuriki or “The Power Of Human Sacrifice.”

-o0o“Flashback-Start”o0o-

“Jinchuuriki? What does that mean?”

Hiruzen Sarutobi could only curse inwardly at how loose his tongue seemed to be since he had mentioned, even if it was indirectly, one of the most guarded SS-ranked secrets in Konoha. That Naruto Uzumaki was the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune, but he had to answer him now since he was interested, because if he didn't then Naruto would not stop until he knew what it meant, and maybe find out about his tenant in the process.

“Jinchuuriki, are what we call people with demons sealed in their bodies, or to be more precise, Bijuu sealed in their bodies.”

“Bijuu? Whats that?”

Sarutobi decided to give him a short version of the Bijuu history, since it would not explain the more, delicate parts that could make Naruto believe that he had one as well.

“Well, Bijuu are actually just incredibly huge beings of chakra. In fact, it is said that the chakra of a Bijuu is almost endless. The reason they are called that is that it is nine beasts, each with a different number of tails. Ranking from the weakest, to the strongest it is: Ichibi no Shukaku, Nibi no Nekomata, Sanbi no Kame, Yonbi no Saru, Gobi no Kujirauma, Rokubi no Namekuji, Shichibi no Kabutomushi, Hachibi no Ushioni, and Kyuubi no Kitsune. Those nine beasts where looked on with awe, and fear in the early stages of the great shinobi wars. Every village wanted their power, and would do anything to get it, eventhough they knew that the power of the Bijuu was far beyond the understanding of even the most powerful human. They went beyond the brink of what was humane, and sealed them within newborn children, and when it was done, they would train them into mindless weapons, living, soulless killing machines, trained into using the power of their Bijuu to slaughter. Of course not all villages would train them like that, some of the villages treated them so normal as they could, but even then they had problems, problems that I'm not gonna go into detail about, seeing as we have never had a Jinchuuriki and therefor don't know what they go through.”

Naruto had a mixture of fear, awe, shock and disgust on his face after the Third was done with his explanation on Jinchuuriki. Naruto had a feeling that this held a great deal of importance about himself for some reason, but let it slide thinking it was just his imagination, but then he remembered something, why had the Hokage put Kyuubi in the tale? He had been told that the demon had been killed on October 10, six years ago.

“Hey old man, why did you include Kyuubi in the list of Bijuu? I thought he was dead.”

Hiruzen cursed himself in his mind over and over again, while on the outside he remained calm and said.

“Well, old habits die hard, I have told people about the Bijuu hundreds of times during the war, normally I did it when we encountered them by chance.”

Hiruzen breathed a sight of relief when Naruto seemed to buy his story.

“Now, how about we move on?”

Naruto nodded, and the Third went on about the different ninja ranks from genin, to jonin and ANBU, but Naruto was still thinking about the Jinchuuriki, and the Bijuu.

-o0o”Flashback-End”o0o-

Kyuubi nodded and said.

“Yes, the Fourth Hokage could not kill me, it is in fact impossible to kill a Bijuu, so he did the next best thing, he sealed me. He used a jutsu called Shiki Fuujin to summon the Shinigami, the Fourth gave his soul to the Shinigami as payment, for sealing me into you.”

Naruto's brain was at the verge of exploding after hearing this, and it was gonna get worse.

“Now, for your second question, yes I did know your parents but unfortunately, they are both dead.”

Kyuubi saw the look on Naruto's face, and it made him sad knowing that if the attack hadn't happened then Naruto would've had a family to care about him. People would think they had gone crazy if they saw the look on Kyuubi's face, (or is it muzzle?) You could see pain, sadness and guilt in his features, and considering the fact that people thought him to be a bloodthirsty monster, well something like that is practically unbelievable. Naruto finally decided to break the silence.

“Could you please tell me their names, Kyuubi-sama?”

Normally Naruto would not show any respect for anyone, but he was willing to make an exception, for the time being, Kyuubi was pretty shocked, he had looked at the boys memories, and knew that he never showed people respect.

-Probably hoping that I will be more cooperative if he shows me respect, I bet he is gonna stop the moment he don't need info anymore.-

Those thoughts were interrupted when Naruto asked him again if he could tell him their names.

“Very well kit, your mother was Kushina Uzumaki, the last of the Uzumaki clan from Uzugakure no sato nicknamed the Red Whirlpool, she died giving birth to you. Your father was the greatest hero this village has ever seen, The only survivor of the almost extinct Namikaze clan, Minato Namikaze, nicknamed the Yellow Flash, he was also known as the Fourth Hokage.
