Hello all Storm here with yet another new story! This will be a first for me doing a female Naruto story, along with something new for a Naruto/Danny Phantom story. So, without further ado.

'Why is this happening to me?' Were the thoughts of ten-year-old Naruko Uzumaki as she coughed into her blanket while her eyes watered from both tears and the smoke from the fire currently engulfing her apartment

If she could focus enough she could also hear the villagers cheer for "the demons" death, that made her cry harder wondering how cruel people could to cheer a child trapped and about to burn to death.

Though to understand why people were cheering for her death one would have to go back to the night she was born. Not that Naruko herself was aware of this.

The night Naruko was born was supposed to be the happiest of her parents lives, her parents being Kushina Uzumaki, the Red Death, and Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage. But what had been a dream for the new parents turned into a nightmare when a masked showed up, killing the Anbu guards, and taking Naruko hostage.

Minato managed to get Naruko to safety but had left Kushina at the masked mans mercy. The man had extracted the Kyuubi no Kitsune from Kushina before using his Sharingan to force the fox to attack Konoha.

Minato had arrived at the battlefield and managed to drive the masked man off and free the Kyuubi from his control, but now before leaving a message that he would return for the Kyuubi one day. With that message Minato could see the threat the masked man presented and came to the decision of sealing the Kyuubi into his newborn daughter.

After getting the Kyuubi away from Konoha, Minato had brought Kushina and their daughter, with Kushina using the last of her strength to set up a barrier and restrain the Kyuubi with her Adamantine Sealing Chains. Minato proceeded to summon the Shinigami to seal half the Kyuubi within himself while sealing the other half into his daughter.

Though the Kyuubi seeing this planned to kill Naruko to avoid being sealed again, but her parents threw themselves in front of the fox's claw taking the attack meant for Naruko. In their last moments Minato and Kushina said their final words to their daughter before Minato sealed a portion of both their chakra in the Eight Trigrams Seal so that they could meet their daughter when she was older.

After the sealing the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, arrived and took Naruko and her parents bodies back to Konoha. Upon arrival Sarutobi had planned to honor Minato's final wish, for his daughter to be seen as a hero for containing the Kyuubi and announced Naruko's status as the Kyuubi's Jinchuuriki hoping the villagers would see her as a hero.

Sadly, the villagers reacted less than positively, believing Naruko to be the Kyuubi in human form and that the Yondaime sealed the foxes power so they could kill the demon themselves. Several people called for Naruko's death, a few even demanding she be turned into a weapon. Acting quickly Hiruzen created a law forbidding anyone from telling any of the younger generation of Naruko's status as a Jinchuuriki, in the hopes that she would be able to make friends.

So, for ten years Hiruzen did his best to make sure Naruko had a normal childhood. Though there wasn't much he could do without showing favoritism, the most he could do is give her an apartment, after the orphanage matron kicked her out, and a monthly stipulation until she became a ninja.

Naruko meanwhile grew up with a lonely childhood, she never knew why the adults hated her, why the orphanage matron kicked her out, or why store owners banned her or sold her overpriced items. She had tried asking the old man, but he never gave her a straight answer, she eventually stopped asking after realizing she wouldn't get any answers from him, whether it was why she was hated or who her family was.

She had tried making friends with kids her own age but that ended in failure, with parents either pulling their children away from her or the children following their parents and hating her.

Though she did have one good thing in her life, her music. It had started when the old man had brought her an old radio, when she first turned it on Naruko absolutely loved the music it played. After that Naruko learned all she could about music, the rhythm, lyrics, melody, instruments, and different types, her favorite being rock.

She also learned that some people used instruments for their Jutsu, mostly for sound based Genjutsu, and she wondered if she could do the same. This lead to her asking the old man to let her enroll into the Academy to learn more about Jutsu. Though this didn't work as even the teachers there hated her, always calling on her to answer difficult questions or kicking her out for being "disruptive" even when she didn't do anything. To pass the time in a productive manner, to Naruko at least, she began writing songs of her own.

This, ironically enough, is actually what lead to her being trapped in her burning apartment.

It had started out like any other day going to the Academy and being ignored or glared at by everyone, with Naruko keeping to herself until her usual group of bullies walked up to her.

*Flashback*

"Hey freak!" Someone shouted, making Naruko stop her writing and look up

She saw it was Ami flanked by her two lackeys, seeing who it was Naruko went back to her songs.

"Hey, I'm talking to you!" Yelled Ami glaring at her

"Go bother someone else Ami." Naruko said dismissively having long since become immune to whatever taunts or insults thrown at her

Ami growled at being ignored, she and her friends used to bully Forehead Girl, aka Sakura Haruno, until she became friends with Ino Yamanaka, a Clan Heiress. So, they had to find a new target and found the perfect victim in Naruko Uzumaki, someone nobody wanted to be friends. At first, they always managed to get a rise out of her with their taunts or insults, even running to their teachers and claiming she was bullying them thus getting the blonde girl in even more trouble.

Though soon Naruko stopped reacting to their insults and even began ignoring them, as if they were beneath her, and Ami hated it!

Seeing Naruko was writing something Ami smirked getting an idea.

Quicker than Naruko could react Ami grabbed the paper with her songs written on them much to the blonde's shock and anger.

"Hey! Give those back!" Demanded Naruko getting up to take her songs back had it not been for Ami's friends holding her back

"Why what're you gonna do about it?" Ami taunted looking through the papers to see what they were

She scowled when she saw it was song lyrics, what's worse is some of them were actually good! Not she'd ever say that.

It made Ami angry that the stupid whisker faced loser could do something good, so she did the best thing she could think of.

"What is this music, please like anyone would listen to any songs you made!" Sneered Ami before grinning widely and began tearing the song sheets up much to Naruko's horror, much to the three bully's enjoyment as they laughed

Her music, her song, the only think she ever cared taken from her. Though her horror was quickly replaced with angry, how dare they take her music from her!

Ami soon stopped laughing when she heard Naruko emit an animalistic growl. Looking Ami pale dramatically seeing Naruko's eyes were blood red with slit pupils, her whisker marks became wide and jagged, her canines lengthened into fangs, and her nails extended into claws.

"N-now, now N-Naruko come on w-we were just k-kidding, it w-was just a joke." Ami stuttered backing away in fear

Before shrieking in fear when Naruko threw her friends off and tackled her to the ground and began punching her as hard as she could. Naruko didn't care what she was doing, where all her anger came from, or Ami's pleas for mercy, she only wanted to make her hurt!

Suddenly Naruko was thrown off Ami, while also snapping her out her anger. Looking at the culprit she saw one of the teachers glaring hatefully at her.

"We were right all along your nothing but a worthless demon!" The Chunin snarled before grabbing Ami and taking her to the nurses

Looking around Naruko saw everyone else looking at her in fear or hatred, much to her horror. She didn't mean to hurt Ami, she was only angry that she tore up her songs, she didn't mean it.

Feeling tears gather in her eyes Naruko quickly got up and gathered up the torn remains of her songs before running as fast as she could back to her apartment, wanting to escape the hateful stares.

*End Flashback*

When she had gotten back to her apartment Naruko finally let the tears fall from her eyes, all the tears she had been holding back for as long as she could remember.

Why, why was she hated, why didn't anyone want to be her friend, why was she always alone? It just wasn't fair!

At some point she realized she had cried herself to sleep, she wasn't sure for how long she was asleep, only that when she woke up her apartment was on fire!

When she saw the fire, she had instantly tried running for the door to get out only to find she couldn't open it, even trying to force it open didn't work. Next, she tried the windows only see they had been boarded up from the outside. No matter where she looked she couldn't find a way to get out and the smoke was beginning to get to her. It wasn't long after she couldn't find a way out did she hear people outside, she tried calling for help but no one came. When she listened again she heard people laughing and cheering, and she didn't need to be a genius to realize they were ones behind this.

With no other Naruko grabbed her blanket wrapping it around her face to block out the smoke and hid in her closet hoping against hope that she'd somehow survive.

Sadly, that hope had all but vanished as even with her mouth and nose covered she still inhaled smoke and she was starting to feel lightheaded.

'Is this… how I… die?' Naruko thought weakly before darkness consumed her

*Mindscape*

Opening her eyes Naruko looked around confused finding herself in a dimly lit hallway with ankle deep water.

"Is this a… sewer? How did I get here?" Wondered Naruko confused to how she got from her burning apartment to a sewer

"Come…"

Naruko jumped in fright when she heard a voice ring out as she whirled around wondering where it came from.

"…this way…"

Looking Naruko saw a red glow coming from one end of the hall, along with a deep rumbling. With no other choice Naruko began walking towards the glow, hoping it was a way out.

When she reached the end of the hall she entered a room facing a large cage.

"Come closer." A voice rumbled from within the darkness of the cage

Hesitantly forward Naruko jumped back when claws shot out from the bars nearly impaling.

"Damn this seal, if it was not holding me back I would have devoured you human." The voice growled before the creature stepped into the light much to Naruko's shock

"Yo-you're the Kyuubi." Said Naruko

"Yes, I am, now why don't you go ahead and remove that sealing tag." Said the Kyuubi pointing a tail at the sealing tag in the center of the cage

"You're the reason everyone hates me." Naruko said as all the pieces fell into place as she began glaring at the fox

"Right again. But tell me who's really to blame, me for being unwillingly sealed in you or the villagers who have hated you, scorned you, left you alone, and now killing you. I didn't force anyone to hate you, it was all their own freewill to see you as a demon, as me. Really you releasing me would be justice for all you've been through, go on let me finish what I started ten years ago, let me show these fools what a real demon is. You know you want to." The Kyuubi tempted

Naruko's head fell as she realized everything the Kyuubi said was true, it didn't choose to be sealed in her, it didn't make the villagers hate her, and it didn't trap her in her apartment to burn to death. With each thought Naruko took a step forward closer to the gate.

"Yes, that's right, break the seal, release me and you can have vengeance." Said Kyuubi while he didn't care about his container he'll gladly destroy the village that's kept him sealed away for over fifty years

Water spun around her as she rose into the air to the sealing tag. Once Naruko was level with the tag she grabbed the top of it and prepared to pull it off.

However, before she could someone grabbed her and pulled her a way from the gate, much to the Kyuubi's anger both at being denied his escape and who it was.

"Yondaime!" Kyuubi roared

Naruko stared up in shock as there standing in front of her was Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, and the person she now knew as the one who sealed the Kyuubi in her.

"Naruko." Said Minato smiling though confused

What could have caused his daughter to try and release the Kyuubi so early.

"Come over here so that I can rip you apart!" Growled Kyuubi wanting nothing more than to tear Minato apart

"I think I'll stay over here thanks." Minato said over his shoulder before turning his attention back his daughter

Only to be met with a fist buried in his gut.

"It's all your fault!" Shouted Naruko as she began hitting Minato repeatedly

It was his fault she was alone, his fault she was hated, his fault she was going to die!

Unknown to Naruko while she was hitting Minato the Kyuubi was making him watch all of her memories, all the way up the villagers trapping her in her apartment and lighting it on fire. Kyuubi took sadistic pleasure in the horror, pain, self-loathing, and despair that was etched on Minato's face.

"How does it feel Yondaime, that you yourself have sentenced your only daughter to die?!" Said Kyuubi

"Wh-what, daughter?!" Naruko said shocked she was the Yondaime Hokage's daughter

Minato could only nod mutely not trusting his own voice.

"That's right, your own father sealed me in you. Now he'll be forced to watch his own child burn." Kyuubi said

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" an enraged female voice shouted

Looking Naruko, Minato, and Kyuubi saw one very pissed of Kushina Uzumaki.

"What. Does. The. Fox. Mean. Minato?" Demanded Kushina through gritted teeth

Still unable to speak Minato remained motionless even Kushina grabbed his collar and shook him like a ragdoll.

"I ASKED YOU A DAMN QUESTION, WHEN I ASK A QUESTION YOU BETTER ANSWER! NOW TELL ME WHAT THAT NINE TAILED BASTARD MEANT BY OUR DAUGHTER BURNING?!" Kushina shouted

"Exactly what I said, at the moment your child is currently suffering from smoke inhalation, while in a few minutes she'll be dead, that is id the fire doesn't reach her and burn her to a crisp. Oh, did I forget to mention this was all done by the very people you swore to protect, in fact they're still laughing and cheering at the thought of her dying." Kyuubi said giving Minato and Kushina access to Naruko's senses letting feel and hear everything Naruko was

When both parents felt the stinging of the smoke and flames, and the laughter of villagers, they couldn't help but wonder was this really what Konoha was like, what they were to blind to see. Was this really the village they fought to protect, one that would condemn a child to death for something out of their control?

Dropping her husband Kushina stalked towards her daughter before falling to her knees and crying.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, my baby." Kushina cried pulling her daughter into a hug

"Ka-Kaa-chan." Said Naruko unsure of anything that's going on

"Yes, yes I'm your Kaa-chan." Said Kushina holding Naruko as if afraid she'd vanish

"Yes, yes how touching now if you don't mind, can we get back to matter at hand and let me out!" Kyuubi said tired of the delays between him and his freedom

"What?! Naruko you weren't actually going to release the Kyuubi?" Kushina asked fearfully still holding onto the hope her baby would survive the fire but if she releases the Kyuubi she'll die

"Why, what would it matter. I'm dead anyway?" Said Naruko bitterly

"No! There's still a chance you'll sur-"

"It doesn't matter!" Naruko shouted cutting her mother off

"None of it matters, even if I survived they'd still hate me, who's to say they wouldn't just try again and this time make sure I'm actually dead or even worse!" Said Naruko curling up, while Kushina choked on a sob

What had those bastard villagers done to her daughter?

Whirling around Kushina slapped Minato clean across the face sending him to the ground.

"I told you Minato! I told you they wouldn't accept her, but no you valued your precious village and keeping the balance power than ensuring your own daughter had a happy life! Well look at her, look at what your village did to her!" Kushina shouted forcing Minato to look at how broken Naruko was

Minato still couldn't say anything but knew Kushina was right he chose the village over his own daughter and now look at what they did. If he had known what his actions would cause, what the villagers would do, he'd have let the Kyuubi level Konoha.

"I'm sorry." Minato said not knowing what else to say

"It doesn't matter, I just want to break the seal and let the Kyuubi out." Said Naruko without looking up

"Are you really sure you want to do that?" Kushina asked still not willing to accept her daughter dying so young

"Yes, it's my choice and no one is going to take it from me." Naruko said determinedly

"Then I'll support your decision and I'm so sorry this happened to you baby." Choked Kushina while not liking it she'd support her daughter's decision

She then turned to Minato with a glare.

"And what're you going to do about it?" Kushina demanded knowing Minato's love for Konoha

If he tried to stop their daughter, she'll kill him herself.

Minato remained silent for a moment, there was still a part of him that loved Konoha, however a larger part wanted retribution. Turning towards the Kyuubi Minato locked eyes with the fox.

"Kyuubi you don't like me, and I don't like you, but this one time I'm asking, turn that cesspool of hypocrisy into a mountain of ash." Said Minato coldly

"Gladly." Kyuubi said

With that done both parents noticed they were beginning to fade away, making look down before approaching their daughter.

"Naruko I know doesn't mean much, but I am truly sorry. This was never my intention when I sealed the Kyuubi inside. I just wat to know no matter what you choose in this life or the next I love you, always." Said Minato wrapping his arms around her before faded away

"I guess it's my turn. Naruko I said this to you once as a baby now I'll say it again and hope you'll never forget. Naruko...don't be a picky eater, eat alot and grow big and strong! Take your bath everyday...go to bed early and sleep well. Study hard on your Ninjutsu...I was never very good at it...maybe you will...everyone is good at some things and not so good at others...and if things don't go so well...don't get so depressed. At the academy, listen to your teachers. Make friends! It doesn't matter how many...just make sure that they're people you can really trust...and a few is enough! Regarding the Three Prohibitions of the shinobi, be careful when you loan and borrow money, make sure to save your missions pay carefully, and no drinking alcohol until your 20...too much sake is harmful for your body. As for boys...well...I'm a girl so I don't really know what to say...but sooner or later, I know you'll meet someone special who will love and cherish you...just...don't fall for a strange one. There's going to be hard and painful times ahead...take good care of yourself...! Find a goal...a dream...and don't stop trying until it comes true! There's...there's...there's so much more I want to tell you...to teach you...I want to stay with you longer...I love you. Finally, thank you for letting me be you mother...and Minato for being your father...thank you...for being born to us!" Kushina cried wrapping her daughter in a hug as she faded away into golden light

Naruko didn't move for several moments but Kyuubi could see her shoulders shaking and heard sobs coming from the girl. Kyuubi remained silent letting the girl have a moment to mourn losing her parents, it may be a heartless creature that didn't care for anything or anyone, but it did know the pain of losing a parent.

'Is this the world you died for old man, the world you created, you should have let Kaguya just destroy these creatures.' Kyuubi thought

Wiping her eyes Naruko stood up and approached the gate and looked up at the Kyuubi.

"I want your word." Said Naruko

"What?" Kyuubi said

"I want you to give me your word, that you'll destroy all of it. Every piece of that village, give me your word that when your done Konoha will be nothing but a memory." Naruko said, surprising the Kyuubi a little

"I give you my word." Said Kyuubi, Naruko nodded as she was raised back to the tag and grabbed it

"Kyuubi, what's your name?" Naruko asked, surprising the Kyuubi once again

"… Kurama, my name is Kurama." Kurama replied after a moment

"Kurama, give them my regards… and thank you." Said Naruko ripping the tag off

*Real World*

Sarutobi rushed to Naruko's apartment as quickly as he could, a team of Anbu hot on his heels, only to stop in horror as he saw he was to late upon seeing Naruko's apartment building engulfed in flames while a crowd of villagers cheered around it.

"What have you fools done!?" Sarutobi demanded

"We did what should have been done years ago!" A random person shouted increasing the cheers

Before Sarutobi could order the Anbu to begin capturing the people a shockwave of chakra as felt throughout the village, a very familiar chakra.

"Oh no." Sarutobi whispered in horror

Soon red chakra began leaking out of the fire before soon a massive claw burst out of the building followed by another, before to the people's horror the Kyuubi no Kitsune was standing before them.

"I'M FREEEEEEEEEE!" Kurama roared in triumph before turning his attention to the screaming villagers

"I suppose I have you fools to thank for my release, after all if you didn't try and kill my container I doubt she'd have ever broken the seal keeping me imprisoned. By the way Naruko Uzumaki sends her regards." Said Kurama relishing in their horrifying realization

"You wanna know the best part, you all killed your last and only chance of me ever being sealed again!" Kurama said gleefully before he began tearing his way through the village

"No more Senju."

Kurama brought his fist down on a group of fleeing villagers turning them into a large red stain

"No more Uchiha."

He swiped his tails across the ground leveling any buildings in the way.

"No more Uzumaki."

Kurama charged up a Tailed Beast Bomb and shot it straight at the Hokage Monument reducing it to nothing but rubble.

"And I'm just getting started. So, thank you Konoha for aiding in your own annihilation!" Kurama said before continuing his rampage

He had no intention of stopping until he wiped Konoha off the map.

*Unknown Location*

Groaning Naruko opened her eyes confused, wasn't she supposed to be dead.

"Where am I?" Naruko wondered looking around seeing she was in a bed in a room with a lot of clocks, and everything was green

Getting Naruko went a window before instantly jumping back in fright, as when she looked out all she saw was an endless green void with several giant floating green gears.

"WH-what the hell! Where am I?!" Shouted Naruko

"Well I can tell you it's not hell." Said an ancient and calm voice, making Naruko jump again and turn to the source

What she saw had to be the strangest looking person she'd ever seen. It was a violet cloak wearing man with a pale blue face with a scar across his left eye, a clock-like mechanism embedded in his chest, carrying a staff with a clock on top of it, the strangest part was in place of legs he had a wavy pale blue tail. Naruko also noticed he seemed to shift between three forms, a baby, an adult, and an old man.

"Uh, who are you?" Asked Naruko wondering if she'd finally gone insane

"I am Clockwork master of time, this is my home. As for your second question we are currently in the Ghost Zone." Said Clockwork, much to Naruko's shock

"How did you-"

"-know what you were going to ask, I knew, but then I know everything. For your third question you are here because this is where all ghosts reside. See for yourself." Said Clockwork as a mirror appeared in front of Naruko

Naruko stared at her appearance in shock, she looked nothing like she used to. Her once messy blonde hair was now straight and teal colored, her eyes were now neon green, her skin was ghostly pale, and her whisker marks were gone.

"So, it's true I'm dead." Said Naruko looking down

"I'm afraid so. Now tell me young one, what is your name?" Asked Clockwork

"I thought you just said you knew everything." Naruko stated

"I do, it's just a common courtesy to ask someone's name." Clockwork said

Just as she was about to respond Naruko paused for, did she even want to be Naruko Uzumaki, all she knew as Naruko was pain and suffering. Maybe this was a second chance for her to live a new life (or unlife she guessed). So, for her new life(?) she needed a new name.

"Ember. Ember McLain." Said the newly named Ember

"A pleasure to meet you Ember. Now since your new to the Ghost Zone, how would like my help to get used to your new surroundings." Clockwork offered, Ember smiling a little

"I'd like that." Accepted Ember

"Excellent, let's be off there's plenty to do and very little time." Clockwork said, making Ember snort

"Was that supposed to be a pun?" Asked Ember, Clockwork only smirking as they walked, or floated, out the room

So, what did you think, good. Yep Naruko is everyone's favorite ghost rock star Ember Mclain, she also released Kurama as a final F&$! you to Konoha, not gonna lie I loved writing that part. Also now the new ghost has been found by the Master of Time himself, we'll also see her meet other ghost's through flashbacks. So review if you liked go away if you didn't.

Storm out
