Naruto and the unforeseen Wind

Prologue: The beginning and the parting

October 10, hours before the Kyuubi Attacks

In the lively and bright village of Konohagakure, there resided an even brighter boy of the age of 7. People adored this boy for his sunny personality, rather than his parents, he was just such a bundle of happiness, you couldn't help but smile when he was around.

Not only that, his appearance was very much like that as well. He had a shining blonde mess of spikey hair that went in every direction imaginable, two sparkling cerulean eyes that held every shade of blue that were highlighted by the light held in them, a slightly rounded face and the most prominent feature, were the six whisker marks that adorned his cheeks. Overall, many people found this boy to be like a cute little fox.

This hyperactive blonde's name was Namikaze Uzumaki Kaze. Just like the wind, his mood and antics were spontaneous. He was always a happy child in general, his mother and father, Namikaze née Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato were very well-respected individuals in the village and were even more loving parents.

They dotted on the boy a lot, though they were disappointed that their little Kaze wanted to be a ninja as soon as possible since they wanted him to be a kid a bit longer, they allowed it and trained in preparation for the Academy. Despite, Kaze's goofy nature he inherited from his mother, he had proven himself quite the hard-worker and learner, not exactly a prodigy, but his efforts made him better than even his best friend, Uchiha Itachi of the same age of 7, the prodigy of the Uchiha clan.

Back to the present situation, 3 hours before Kyuubi Attacks.

Namikaze Kaze was excited, why? His birthday wished he made on his birthday in January was coming true; he wanted a little brother! He couldn't wait for his new brother to be born, he had often seen Itachi with baby Sasuke and saw how happy he was and longed for something like that as well. Now it was finally happening! He knew the name as well, Namikaze Uzumaki Naruto! A little maelstrom in the family. He wondered what his little brother would look like, would he look like him, or be a pretty boy looking like his mom.

He just couldn't wait for it to happen, however, due to the fact his mother, Kushina, was the secret Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi, he knew this, but didn't care, she was his loving mother not some furry. He wasn't allowed in the barrier that his father, Minato and his Anbu set up to contain the beast in case something went wrong for his safety. He pleaded to be there as well since he wanted to see his soon-to-be born brother, saying he could help with the sealing too as Fuinjutsu is a family tradition for them. But, Minato calmly told his first son Kaze that he simply wasn't at the required level yet, no matter how good he was at it. Kaze reluctantly agreed, but enjoyed where he was staying.

At the Uchiha compound

Kaze had been sent to his best friend's house, the Uchiha head's home, Uchiha Fugaku and his wife, Uchiha Mikoto had happily agreed to take care of Kaze and appreciated someone Itachi's age playing with him. Also, they took this as an opportunity to teach Kaze how to take care of his soon-to-be baby brother, Naruto.

Itachi was very mature for his age, always analysing the things around him, he had seen death and seen life come into this world and saw the world like a Kage would. Nothing Kaze did could ever get Itachi to even twitch an eyebrow, instead Itachi always gave him a laugh of amusement, something not many people could get out of him. To him, Kaze was just that interesting. He was also one of the people who knew how to make him blush.

"Oi! Oi! Itachi! Have you made a move on Izumi-chan yet? Kaze teased. Itachi had a deep red blush.

"N-no… what makes you say that? Itachi feigned ignorance.

Kaze grinned even wider, "Oh come on Itachi! I've seen the way you two are around each other! Heck! I'm betting that you guys will jump each other in the forest somewhere! Dattebano!" he exclaimed excitedly.

Itachi was embarrassed, "K-Kaze, shut up!". Sasuke was giggling at Itachi's embarrassed face.

Kaze looked at Baby Sasuke and had a mischievous look on his face and loudly whispered to him.

"You hear that Sasuke-chan! Itachi and Izumi, sitting on a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-" Kaze was singing. Itachi was blocking his ears now.

Sasuke was laughing like no tomorrow. Kaze was enjoying his time with them both and had a taste of what it was like to be an older brother, and he loved every second of it.

Fugaku and Mikoto were observing the three through the door.

"My-my! Kaze will be a wonderful older brother!" Mikoto mused.

Fugaku nodded his head in agreement, but didn't show his emotions. But inside, he was happy that Itachi had a friend like Kaze.

Suddenly, they felt a shock of a vibration that shook the ground ending the child's play moment.

Fugaku ordered, "Everyone, stay in the housing grounds. I'll investigate that with the police force!" Mikoto and everyone complied, except Sasuke who was now crying with Mikoto singing him a lullaby putting him to sleep quickly. Itachi was tensed and Kaze was sweating and anxious to know what caused the earthquake to happen.

An hour later.

Kaze had enough of being indoors and managed to sneak outside with Itachi's help. To avoid Mikoto's wraith, Kaze left behind an enhanced Shadow Clone whilst he was out.

When he made it outside the Uchiha compound, the first thing he saw was… complete utter horror. His home, Konoha was being attacked by a giant orange fox, with nine tails violently swaying behind it, and from what his parents told him, this was the Kyuubi, the Nine-tailed fox. It destroyed many buildings and set fires to people's homes. He couldn't believe it, did the sealing go wrong, did his Dad mess up!

No! That couldn't be! His Dad was the world's greatest Fuinjutsu master, second to none! He knew that his Dad would never mess up something he had worked on countless times, he only ever messed up of brand new sealing formulas he toyed with. So what caused the Kyuubi to be released!

As he thought of his Dad, he unconsciously looked at his face craved into the mountain and saw his Dad, Minato, in his Hokage jacket! He looked cool. However, the Kyuubi fired a Bijuu Bomb towards him, making Kaze panic and wanted his dad to get away from there.

However, his Dad used his signature jutsu, the Hiraishin technique, using a super-complex sealing method and formula that Iwa could never reverse engineer. He sent the Bijuu Bomb somewhere far, as he saw the explosion in the distance far from the village behind his Dad. Kaze had stars in his eyes, his Dad was awesome, he was the one that inspired him to pick up Fuinjutsu, sure his mother's linage made it a must do thing in the family, his Dad is why he loved the art!

Then Kaze saw something appear behind his Dad out of a portal! A teleportation jutsu! Not even his Dad figured out the mechanics behind it! Then what he saw made him gasp in horror, his Dad was being sucked into the that portal. Until, to his relief, his Dad teleported away in a flash of yellow, which earned his nickname, Konoha's Yellow Flash.

Kaze didn't need to know where his Dad went as he hide flashed behind Kaze. Minato grabbed his eldest son and before he could let out an 'eep!', he flashed away to where Kushina and a recently born Naruto was, their home.

At the Namikaze Residence

Kushina was exhausted, both from giving birth and having the Kyuubi extracted. But she was still alive and awake, but barely. She held out though as she wanted to stroke and caress her baby boy Naruto, who was sound asleep with his chubby face rubbing against hers.

Suddenly she heard a flash, knowing that it was Minato, she slowly turned around on the bed. She saw Minato slightly winded and a frightened Kaze, their first born. Kushina motioned for Kaze to come to her, which he did, but he saw how tired his mother was and gently hugged her, which calmed her down a lot. Minato was smiling at the little family he had put together. But he knew that he had a duty to fulfil.

"There you guys are safe and that's all that matters to me, but I have a village to protect!" Minato stated, Kushina looked at him and both her and their firstborn nodded.

Minato flashed away back to battle, the Kyuubi was still rampaging and the Masked man was out there somewhere.

Back to Kushina and her two boys.

Kushina gave Kaze a genuine smile.

"Kaze-kun! Please say hello to Naruto! Your little brother, just like we promised!" she tried to exclaim. Kaze was in tears of joy at having a little brother.

He crawled towards his baby brother and poked his cheek. He examined his little brother and swelled with joy how much he looked like he and his Dad, he even had the same whisker marks as him!

He had a mini twin!

From what he learnt from his best friend's family, a baby that was just born has sensitive hearing and will sleep a lot. Not to mention, that they don't have a strong neck yet. When he held Naruto, Kaze felt a happiness like no other, he loved his little brother, little Naruto! He gently rocked Naruto, Naruto's eyes opened, revealing the same blue eyes that Kaze had, but more curiousity in them, he thought his Naruto was about to cry when he made a sound, but instead gave Kaze a toothless grin along with adorable gargling sounds. Kaze, being the fun-loving boy, he was, decided to make faces at Naruto, making the hour old boy giggle and chuckle without a care in the world. Kushina smiled at her two precious babies. She reached out and embraced them both gently as not to hurt Naruto.

The Namikaze family, proved even during turmoil, love can be found and made anywhere.

With Minato

"Rasengan" he shouted in his mind.

He slamed the spiralling ball of chakra into the back of the Masked man, whilst simultaneously placing a contract seal on the man which along came with his Hiraishin marking, which never disappears once placed.

Once the seal was placed, the masked man lost his control over the Kyuubi, he was defeated… for now.

"Hahaha! Impressive, Lord Fourth, but I'll be back and the Nine-tails will be mine." He stated before using a portal to take him elsewhere.

Minato was relieved. However, he still had a rampaging fox to take care of. Shunshin closer to its location before he could use his Hiraishin to get above it.

Once, he was above it he made it known to the Third Hokage and his comrades that he would take the fox with him. Before he summoned the Toad boss, Gamabunta on top of the Kyuubi. Then, using that opportunity, he used Hiraishin to take it far away from the Village. Once the Kyuubi, Gamabunta and himself were warped away from the village. Minato had formulated a plan and made his decision, which required his family to be there with him.

He teleported to where they were and before they could all ask questions. He teleported his whole family to where the Kyuubi was fighting Gamabunta. Gamabunta saw them and weared down the Kyuubi enough to stun it for a while, before taking his leave.

Kushina asked, "Minato! What's going on? Why are we here?"

Minato told her his plan that he was going to seal the Kyuubi into Naruto, since he was a new born and being an Uzumaki, he has adaptable chakra making him the perfect candidate for hosting the Kyuubi. Kushina was shocked that he would pass down such a burden on their newborn child. But once Minato reasoned that Naruto is the child of prophecy, she relented.

Kaze hearing this, was now scared for his little brother. After his father and mother talked about the life his little brother had to lead once he did, he vowed to be there for him. His little brother, Naruto, his best birthday wish that came true was not going to be spat on.

"Don't worry, I'm only going to seal half of the Kyuubi's chakra in Naruto, I'll take the Yin-half with me using the Shiki Fuin." Minato stated.

Kaze heard this, and decided what he was going to do.

"Dad! Let seal the other half in me instead of taking it with you!" Kaze said shocking Kushina and Minato.

"No! Kaze-kun! One of our kids is enough! We don't want both of you to suffer!" Kushina exclaimed whilst Minato looked speechless at his firstborn's decision.

"I'll take it mom! I always wanted a little brother, who I could share everything with, even if it meant knowing his pain… so if he becomes a Jinchuriki, then so will I, he wouldn't have to suffer alone at least!" Kaze reasoned. Kushina wanted to rebuttal, but Minato stopped her and allowed it to happen, although reluctantly.

"Very well, Kaze, my son! But, we are going to need your help, you may not be able to use your skills yet, but you have more than enough chakra to share with your mother, so do as I say." Minato ordered. Kaze nodded with a determined look, anything to ensure that his little brother, Naruto wouldn't be alone to suffer.

Kaze shared his chakra with his mother, restoring most of her lost strength, whilst completely draining his, this was key in becoming the host of the other half of the Kyuubi, as it would make the acceptance of its chakra much easier.

Kushina then used her Adamantine Sealing Chains to hold down the Kyuubi, whilst Minato got the Shiki Fuin ready. The Shinigami appeared, holding Minato's soul, it in return split the Kyuubi's chakra in half, a Yin-half and a Yang-half being held respectively. Quickly, Minato began to seal the Yin-half of the Kyuubi into his exhausted son, Kaze, to restore his Chakra completely from critical levels using the Eight Trigrams Symbol Seal, Kaze felt the power being put into his body, it wasn't like he imagined, it felt like he was going to throw up, but it was stuck in his gut. Evenly the sealing was complete and Kaze felt his chakra rapidly restore, waking him up completely and stood up quickly, but shakingly.

Now, it was time for his younger brother's sealing to be done, however, the Yang-half of Kurama saw this and refused to be sealed in a brat. He tried to impale Naruto who was on an altar.

Kushina and Minato saw this and jumped in front of their sleeping newborn child and stopped the blow inches away from Naruto. Kaze was left shocked and traumatised, his parents were dying before his eyes.

"Mom! Dad!" he shouted, but couldn't ran due to the shoddy chakra control he received due to not being used to having so much chakra.

"It's okay Kaze, Mom and Dad got this…" Minato reassured quietly.

"No! Mom! Dad! Why!? Naruto, he… he needs you guys!" Kaze reasoned.

Kushina said, "No… he doesn't, what he needs is someone who loves him no matter what Kaze-kun… which is what you already give him… dattebane!" Kaze was in tears at the scene, but what came next made them flow uncontrollably.

Minato and Kushina told Naruto their last words and what they wanted for him. Making Kaze cave in on himself and sob, not only because his parents were going to die, but he'll never ever be able to share the love and care his parents gave him for 7 years to Naruto.

Minato and Kushina reassured him that they put their chakra into the seal as well, that if certain requirements are meant, then Naruto will be able to meet them.

The sealing of the Yang-half of the Kyuubi began and once it was done, the Shinigami, took both Minato's and Kushina's souls in return for not having the Yin-half as payment.

The battle was over, this day became a dreaded day for everyone, except for Kaze, he may have lost his parents, but he was given something just as, if not, more precious, his little brother Naruto.

He went up to pick his sleeping brother up and cradled him with as much care as their parents gave him for years.

"I promise you Mom, Dad and… to you Naruto, I will be there for you no matter what comes our way because that is my Ninja way, dattebano!" Kaze promised with a fire in his eyes.

Soon, the barrier Kushina made faded and the Third Hokage arrived at the scene, he had saw what had unfolded, and vowed to his successor Minato he would protect his sons.

At the Hokage council meeting

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, ordered all the clan heads, important figures and the elders, his advisors for a meeting.

Everyone assumed it had to do with the repairs of the village and the handling of PTSD cases people will have.

However, Hiruzen silenced them before he made his announcement.

"I'm sure you are all curious as two why this gathering was called, but do not worry, your time her is not being wasted."

Everyone nodded, however, Fugaku saw Kaze behind Hiruzen and had to said.

"If I may ask Lord Third, why is Kaze here?" he asked. Making every talk amongst themselves as to why the son of the Fourth Hokage was here.

"Silence! To answer your question, Kaze has been through the most troubling of times, seeing that his father, Namikaze Minato has perished along with his wife Kushina." He stated solemnly. Everyone was in shock and denial that their precious Hokage had died. Fugaku and a the Hyuga clan head, Hiashi Hyuga along with his twin brother, Hizashi Hyuga felt remorse for the poor boy.

"Everyone quiet! I'm here to make an announcement! Anyway, I'd like everyone to see a newborn child we have today" and revealed a sleeping Naruto, many others fawned at the sight of him. But a certain Inuzuka had to point something out.

"That boy smells like the Kyuubi, why is that?" Tsume asked. Hiruzen was panicking, now he had to answer that question before announcing that he was Minato's son.

"Well, that is because this boy is the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi" Hiruzen answered. Everyone was shocked and in an uproar.

Hiruzen told them that Minato had sealed it in him. That everyone wa safe, the clan heads agreed as they know of Minato's skills in Fuinjutsu, but the elders and his advisors thought other things.

"Kill it! The Fourth had given us a chance to kill the fox!" an elder yelled and others except the clan heads followed suit.

Hiruzen released some killer intent, "We will not be killing his son!"

Making others gasp at the revelation. But others denied this claim.

"The fox is just trying to trick us!" they yelled. This continued until Kaze stood up and let his Chakra flare making everyone, including Hiruzen and Danzo flinch a little at his chakra potential.

"He's my little brother, his name is Naruto! I won't let anyone put their hands on him!" he exclaimed holding his still sleeping brother protectively.

Others were shocked at this claim, but everyone besides the clan heads, Danzo and Hiruzen believed this.

"Kaze-chan, your little brother you were waiting for is dead! The fox is just impersonating him to fool you!" one of the elders tried to reason with him, but Kaze wouldn't have it.

"He is my little brother Naruto! Look at him! He looks like a mini me!" he fought back and held him out to show Naruto's features. Everyone could see the resemblance, but the elders still denied it saying it was all the fox just playing a trick on him.

This went on for a while until, Hiruzen silenced the entire room.

"Enough! We are not here to complain and bicker. The boy is not being executed! So instead, I'll let the boy live with his brother, and to hide their heritage, they will take the Uzumaki name as homage to their clan's history and their birthright. Is that okay with everyone?" Hiruzen challenged.

Everyone agreed, although the elders did so reluctantly. Then, Hiashi made a good point.

"Excuse me Lord Third, but who will take care of them now that they are orphans?" he asked.

Every clan head talked about who would be best to look after them, Tsume offered, as she did like the boys genuinely and not because Kaze close to his daughter's age. Likewise many people offered, but were turned down.

That left the Uchiha and the Hyuga left.

Fugaku reasoned, "My boy Itachi is Kaze's best friend and is a frequent visitor, almost like another son to my family, he should stay with me." Others including the Hyuga agreed, but someone pointed out.

"Hell no! You guys didn't even help during the attack, you Uchiha probably had something to do with it!" the elder claimed. Fugaku activated his Sharingan to intimidate them, but the others rose up in agreement at this claim.

Hiruzen had enough and silenced them again.

"Okay, the Uchiha won't take care of them, but I won't let the Hyuga take them in, as we know of their 'practices'" the clan heads nodded whilst Hiashi, Hizashi shuddered and the rest confused.

"Therefore, the boys will be placed in the orphanage. No complaints Kaze?" Hiruzen asked in a grandfatherly manner

"None at all, but as long as we get what our family owned." Kaze bargained. Naruto shuffled into him a bit.

"Okay" Hiruzen allowed it and dismissed the gathering.

Danzo however had other thoughts.

'It seems to be that Minato's eldest son has awakened his Uzumaki bloodline, that must be the cause to why his chakra reserves are larger and more powerful. Not only that, his little brother as the Jinchuriki. They will be the ultimate weapons!' he thought.

From there on, Kaze and his new brother Naruto began their new lives. Kaze was saddened at not having his parents, but was given his little brother Naruto in return, something he found much better.

Although, things weren't going to last…

3 months after the Kyuubi Incident.

Namikaze Kaze, now named Uzumaki Kaze, along with his now 3-months-old brother, Uzumaki Naruto, were having the time of their lives together with Kaze, being the best older brother, one could possibly have!

From making Naruto giggle to feeding him and taking care of him.

People around the village still loved him. But didn't show it as Kaze never let his brother out of his arms when he walked around. They all thought Naruto was the fox reincarnate deceiving Kaze, the Fourth's firstborn son into believing that he was his baby brother.

Kaze met up with Itachi and his brother as often as he could, but due to the suspicion that the Uchiha were behind the Kyuubi Incident. It wasn't a good idea for Itachi to hang around the village.

Kaze was upset about this, but didn't let it bother him too much. He had Naruto with him, his baby brother, the last wish that his parents made come true for him. He would not give Naruto up for anything.

For what he was doing now, Kaze decided to take Naruto to see his deceased mother's, Kushina, one of her best friends, Hyuga Hikari, who had given birth to her firstborn child about a month ago. Kaze liked her most and most of the branch members, but the main branch was all very stuck up in his opinion. But Kaze, being a family friend of their decided to visit.

When he had arrived, the guards inspected him and took a menacing glance at Naruto in his arms. Kaze cradle him tighter whilst letting his anger flare a little, making his eyes turn red with fox-like slits unnerving the Hyuga gate guards. Fortunately for them, the killing intent made Naruto cry, causing Kaze to revert to his ordinary cheery state and comfort him.

"Hey! Hey! Don't cry! Else you gonna make your dippers into pie!" Kaze joked with him, Naruto's crying was lessened and looking at his older brother with curious eyes. Kaze gave him a goofy looking face, which made Naruto crack a huge toothless grin.

"Oh! It is nice to see you Kaze-chan! Please come in!" Hyuga Hikari greeted him. Kaze blushed at the honorific in embarrassment. His little brother may not understand a word, but still, it was humiliating, especially when the Naruto audibly laughed at him.

"Oh! Just wait til you are older Naruto, then I'll show the girl you like all the embarrassing photos of your life! Dattebano!" Kaze jokingly threatened his baby brother making him burst out in more laughter.

Kaze smiled and Hikari loved the seen.

'What a wonderful boy! He would already make a great father!' mused Hikari.

Hiashi came along shortly after, he showed his amusement at the sight of an 8-year-old boy making threats to an infant.

"Hello there Kaze and little Naruto! Please come in!" Hiashi welcomed them inside.

Once inside, they escorted Kaze with Naruto in his arms who was reaching up for his whisker marks to the room that their newborn heiress was being held in.

The Hyuga head and his wife introduced a small infant girl, who would grow up to be very pretty in the future from the looks of her. She had a thin layer of dark, indigo hair much like her mother, she no longer looked like a potato head, she had white, creamy skin and since she was awake, lavender shaded Byakugan eyes he could see. She was dressed up in a light purple baby onesie making her look even cuter.

Apparently, Naruto thought so too, seeing as her tried to wriggle his way out of Kaze's arms to head towards the Hyuga infant.

"Hmm? You like her don't you Naruto?" Kaze teased his gurgling brother.

"Argh!" Naruto happily replied.

The Hyuga baby heard and replied back to him happily, "Wah!"

This moment made Hiashi crack a genuine smile and Hikari squeal at the cuteness of the moment.

Hikari offered Kaze to hold Naruto for a moment, which Kaze easily did agreed to showing how much he trusted the Hyuga head's wife. For Kaze was very protective of Naruto around others due to the knowledge of his status as a Jinchuriki having been somehow leaked out.

Hikari rocked little Naruto for a bit before placing him besides her daughter in the same baby bed.

"Here you go Naruto~ Make sure you don't have too much fun with my daughter Hinata~ she is still innocent~" she playfully teased the two babies making Kaze crack up and Hiashi blush at the implications of her words.

The now named Hyuga infant, Hinata smiled widely at Naruto, who likewise did the same, but more cheerfully as they tried to hold each other's hands, but with little success.

Kaze made sure to get out his camera and take a photo of the two babies; Naruto and Hinata, the photo paper came out of his bulky camera and he took it out, then he poured his chakra into it revealing a clear colour picture of the moment.

He saved it in one of his seals his father taught him.

As the two infants were playing with each other, Kaze asked Hiashi where a certain Hyuga was. But there was no need for that as the said Hyuga came out.

A Hyuga girl in the usual white Hyuga robes, but her appearance was different from the usual brown hair. She of course had the pale Hyuga skin which looked soft as all Hyuga women have, her hair was a midnight-blue colour and was silky and long, she wore it in a high pony tail. Her lips were full looking and pink. Her eyes, were the same shade of lavender as the Hyuga Hikari's (A/N: She looks like Hinata with long hair, but with a pony tail). One would mistake her for being her daughter, but as some 'questionable' traditions are practiced in a secretive clan like the Hyuga. It's no wonder why everyone looks the same.

The girl was a Main house member as her forehead was unmarked.

Her name was Hyuga Haruna.

This girl was the one Kaze had a crush on, but he never let it show by acting like a hyperactive goofball as everyone knows him for.

He shot her a huge grin making her blush.

"Yo Haruna! How's it going?" Kaze asked.

"Hello Kaze-kun, I guess thing have been well with me" Haruna replied, although a bit uncomfortable with being around him for she had a 'small' crush on him too. But, Kaze, may not be dense about a girl's feelings as his mother taught him, he never for a second believed someone would ever like him that way.

So, he continued loudly, "So it's just been well? How about we go into the courtyard and make things fun!?" he suggested. Haruna was unsure if she should, but agreed as Hiashi allowed it and he wanted to spend time with his wife observing the two infants; Naruto and Hinata.

Therefore, Kaze and Haruna took off and played in the Main house courtyard. They did all kinds of things, like tag, hide and seek ninja edition as dubbed by Kaze where you have to catch the person hiding, with no Byakugan. Sometimes, they also sparred with Kaze always winning due to his Taijutsu being more unpredictable.

But as the day became more to the relaxing times, the two tired children who still wanted to play decided to head to the room where Hinata and Naruto were playing blocks with each other giving them an idea… playing house.

Haruna was the mother, Kaze was the father with Naruto and Hinata being the kids. This made Hikari and Hiashi hide smirks as they knew the two had feelings for one another but didn't know they returned the feelings. Soon Kaze and Naruto's time at the Hyuga compound was coming to an end, Hikari offered to take a photo of him, Haruna both holding Naruto and Hinata respectively. They took three copies of this, one for the Hyuga head and his wife, one for Kaze and the last for Haruna.

Soon everyone said their goodbyes and Kaze holding Naruto went home to their recently rented apartment (the one Naruto lives in during his childhood). Why not the orphanage, well the caretaker was one of the few people who saw Naruto as the fox and didn't bother trying to look after him in Kaze's absences, so he asked Hiruzen for an apartment as it would be better.

On the way to the apartment, Kaze saw the Namikaze residence bringing back old memories. For old times' sake, he decides to take a detour and use the old training ground that only his family could use.

Getting there, Kaze takes a minute to reminisce about when his parents, Minato and Kushina, were alive letting a tear out. Naruto sees this and gurgles to get Kaze's attention. Kaze gives Naruto a genuine smile.

"Sorry Naruto… I lost myself for a moment, what was I thinking? I need to be strong for you! Or else how am I meant to keep you happy! Dattebano!" he falsely gives off a brave front, but it fooled the infant Naruto who smiled at the gesture.

"Now… I guess it wouldn't be bad to get some training in." Kaze said placing Naruto down and sang him to sleep.

Kaze did a few fighting moves as a routine before moving onto a physical callisthenics workout his parents made for him and then finishing with a few kunai and shuriken practice.

Once kaze finished, he turned to look at Naruto, only to see a Konoha chunin ready to plunge a kunai into the sleeping Naruto.

'How did he get in!? Damn it! I left the door open thinking this was going to be quick!' Kaze cursed inwardly before throwing a Kunai at the Chunin.

"Hey! Leave my brother alone!" Kaze yelled at the assailant.

The Chunin shouted back "Kaze! That thing is not your brother! It's the fox fooling you! I'm trying to save you!" before he threw more shuriken at Kaze who barely dodge due to having worked out.

The Chunin used this opportunity to kick Kaze into the wall disorienting him.

"I'm sorry Kaze-sama! But I must save you and the village from this abomination!" he said solemnly before approaching Naruto again who was still sleeping.

The chunin raised a Kunai with both hands ready to plunge into the infant's skull.

"This is for the Fourth!" he yelled as he brought it down.

Kaze saw this happening in slow motion. Many thoughts went through his head.

'No! Naruto, I'll save you! Hang on! Move damn it! Move! Why can't I move!' he was thinking.

Then suddenly he was brought into a sewer of some sort.

Kaze's mindscape

Kaze was looking around, but his attention was locked on the gate he saw in front of him that said seal. Kaze knew he had the Yin-half of the Kyuubi in him and dreaded seeing it again.

"So, we finally meet little human!" a loud regal voice sounded the sewer.

"Very 'not' nice to meet you… Kyuubi" Kaze spat out.

"Kuku! That's not a nice way to greet someone. And here I was willing to help you save that brother of yours" the Kyuubi teased.

Kaze's eyes-widened.

"Wait! You can help me!? Please do, I need to save Naruto!" Kaze pleaded.

The Kyuubi laughed, "Alright, but are you sure, I am the embodiment of hatred, my power is that of pure malice?" he told him.

Kaze's face remained determined, "I don't care what kind of power it is! I'm me and you're you! What I do with it is my intentions, regardless of what power I wield! The evilest power in the world can achieve many good things!" he replied impressing the Kyuubi.

The Kyuubi laughed for a while, "You are an interesting human! You aren't afraid of harnessing the darkness if it means letting the light prevail… Very well! I'll give you some of my power, now go! Save your little brother!" the Kyuubi told him.

Outside the mindscape

Kaze's eyes shot open and revealed them to be bloody red with fox slits. His body was enveloped in a red chakra shroud with one tail forming behind him. He saw the man's kunai half way from piercing Naruto and in a flash of anger… tackled the man into a wall before unwillingly shredding the Chunin into a pile of mince.

Once the deed was done, Kaze's form was returned to normal and he saw what he did! He killed someone… he killed someone! Like a wild beast! He was no better than the Kyuubi, the monster they all hated. He felt so guilty and heavy hearted that he couldn't bring himself to face Naruto as he felt he didn't deserve to.

Soon, Hiruzen and his Anbu arrived on scene and took both Kaze and Naruto into custody.

In the Hokage office, Hiruzen was holding a sleeping Naruto in his arms and Kaze sat in front of him with dull, lifeless eyes.

He tried to comfort Kaze, but to no avail and when he asked him what he wanted to do now. He said.

"I have to get away from the village…" Kaze stated without emotions

Hiruzen was wide-eyed and protested, "No! Naruto is here and he needs you! What you did was right, you did it to protect him!"

Kaze shot back, "What is so right about killing someone!? Not only that, whilst I used the Kyuubi's chakra, I enjoyed it! I can't be around Naruto if I enjoy killing!"

Hiruzen was shocked again, Kaze had the Kyuubi in him too, he only arrived in time for the sealing of the Kyuubi into Naruto, so he never knew about this detail.

"You also have the Kyuubi in you? How?" Hiruzen demanded.

Kaze recapped the entire event about how the sealing went down and Hiruzen nodded.

"I see, but you don't have to leave, we can still…" Hiruzen tried to offere an alternative. But Kaze cut him off.

"No Jiji! I must leave now! You forgot to activate the privacy seals, so someone must know now and I can't bear to hold Naruto with these bloodied hands! Plus, it's easier to protect Naruto, rather than both of us, right?" he reasoned. Hiruzen wanted to disagree, but had to back down, the Third Hokage, lost a debate to an 8-year-old.

"Fine! But please keep in contact. I'll allow it, but where will you go and what will you do?" Hiruzen asked.

Kaze replied, "Anything and anywhere to redeem myself, maybe go to my mother's old homeland, or whatever…"

This continued for some time until it finished. Kaze got his things packed and took the scrolls he hadn't finished with yet with him and left what he had already mastered for Naruto.

At the gates, he looked back at the village with a heavy heart.

"I'm sorry Naruto… Big brother Kaze doesn't deserve to hold you anymore" Kaze quietly said before leaving the village, never to return…

Until 13 years later…
