Minato stood on top of the Hokage tower holding his daughter Tsumi with Kushina and Naruto behind. Cheers could be heard from all the villagers below, then there was silence as Minato begun to speak, "This little one here, Tsumi Uzumaki, my daughter is the one saving us all from the demon fox so from this day on i want her to be known as a hero to this village!" He held his daughter (who was the spitting image of her mother) up for the whole village to see.

Cheers and whistles could be heard again from the crowed as Minato walked back towards his wife. "Now she will have a decent life and will not be mistaken for the fox" said Minato as he walked with Kushina.

"You did a good thing" she replied walking away from the cheering crowed.

At that very moment they felt like their lives were perfect...


Six years had past since that day and it was Naruto and Tsumi's sixth birthday.

"Wake up mummy and Daddy!" shouted Tsumi bouncing up and down on her parents bed along with Naruto standing by the door.

"Just...give us a Minute" Said a still half asleep Minato. He got up followed by Kushina and gave Tsumi a a huge hug.

"Hows my birthday girl this morning?" asked a more awake Kushina smiling at Tsumi. She then noticed Naruto standing by the door, "What have i told you about leaving your room until we say so?" She sent Naruto a harsh look then continued on smiling and playing with Tsumi like nothing had happened.

Naruto trailed back to his bedroom,clearly knowing he wasn't wanted as he could hear his parents and sister laughing even though he had left. He slumped down on his bed and closed his eyes when he opened them again he was in a dark sewer. He had been coming here for a while now when ever he was shunned away by his parents. The young boy walked down the narrow passage leading to a metal cage.

'Good to see you again kin what's going on?' asked a voice as to red eyes appeared from behind the bars.

"Nice to see you too fox, just the usual with Tsumi, Minato and Kushina" Naruto had stopped calling his parents 'Mum and Dad' when talking to other people long ago and now only said that when talking to them themselves.

'Huh guess explains why your hear, Oh i have something for you' With that a bright light appeared outside the cage in front of Naruto and in a swirl of red a stuffed toy of the Kyuubi appeared in front of Naruto. It looked exactly like the fox except cuter and it was the same height as the young blonde.

'Now i will be able to talk to you with out you coming here and i will also be able to see what's going on, don't get any ideas though this doesn't mean i like you' Said the fox trying to hide the fact that over the years he had become pretty fond of the young boy.

Naruto being very smart for his age new the Kyuubi was warming up to him but just didn't want to say. "Thanks fox i love it!" exclaimed Naruto hugging the stuffed fox "Does this mean i'll be bale to talk too you to?"

'Of course you baka' said the fox joking about, Naruto smiled at the fox one last time and came back to reality.

He woke up still sitting in his room, he could hear that the rest of his so called 'family' had gone down stairs without him so headed down himself. He opened the door to the living room and all present looked his way and then carried on with what they were doing , Naruto ignored them and walked over dragging his new toy behind him and sat down next to Minato and his few of presents. It was obvious what pile was his and what pile was his sisters, he had the smaller pile of course. "Can i open mine now please dad?" asked Naruto

"You can wait your turn, Tsumi's opening hers just now" he sent a quick glance not even noticing the new toy Naruto was hugging. The young blonde let out a quiet sigh and took what little presents he had and moved over to the other side of the room. He knew they wouldn't notice him especially over were he was.

"At least i have you now fox" whispered Naruto to his stuffed fox. The fox had a sad smile on his face.

'Yeah you will always have me you little baka' Whispered back the fox, he couldn't help but feel sorry for the young boy he was only four and he had a family that hardly even noticed his exsistance. 'So let's see what you got then'


An hour had past and Naruto and Tsumi had both finished opening their presents. "Ok let's get started with your training shall we?" asked Minato lokking at his daughter playing with her new toys.

"Yay! training thank you daddy!" she shouted running over to Minato engulfing him in a hug. He returned the hug and Kushina walked over to join them. They sat hugging each other for about five minutes when Naruto spoke up,

"Am i getting training too?"

"No, sorry Naruto this is special training only for Tsumi to learn how to control the foxes chakra" Said Kushina not even looking at the boy.

"But mum that's not fair" Whined Naruto but to be honest he was right.

"I said no Naruto now go to your room!" shouted Kushina getting annoyed over nothing

"Naruto listen to your mother" Added Minato as they headed out into the garden he could see Tsumi turn around and stick her tongue out at him.

'It's ok Baka you don't need their training i'll train you instead' said the fox toy earning him self a suffocating hug from Naruto.

"Thank you so much fox! What would i do without you!" He headed out the door to the Uchiha compound to get help with his training


He arrived at the Uchiha compound and saw the two people he came there to see "aunt Mikoto! Itachi-Niisan!" he shouted running over to see them.

"Naruto-Kun?!" asked Mikoto kneeling down and hugging the young boy, he was like another son to her and a little brother to Itachi. They both knew what was going on with his parents and were disgusted by how they treated him. To Naruto they were more like family than his actual one.

"Happy birthday Naruto-kun" said Itachi smiling and handing him a present. It was strange he only seemed to smile when he was around Naruto.

The said blonde quickly placed down the fox and opened the present he had received and stared at it in aw, in his hands was a beautifully crafted Katana and sheath. The handle of the sword was white with three intricate red dragons intertwining with each other and meeting at the top and as for the blade itself it too was also white but had one pale red strip at the edge of both sides with the words Kōri no hāto engraved up the side meaning Ice heart.

"I-it's beautiful" stuttered Naruto still staring at the sword in his hands not believing it.

"i'm glad you like it it's been passed down in our family fro generations" Said Itachi smiling at the young blonde in front of him.

"I don't know how to use a sword though" said Naruto downhearted he was really looking forward to using it too.

"Oh that good" said Mikoto finally speaking up "If you could already use the sword my present would be useless" she said giggling at the end.

Naruto grabbed them both in a hug and started crying, "Thank you, Thank you so much" they held the hig a little longer and then letting the hug go and wiping away his tears Naruto turned to Mikoto "Ok when do we begin?"

"Right now if you want, are you ok with that Itachi-kun?"

Itachi couldn't say no to the two most important people in his life so with a nod of his head the three headed to one of the Uchiha private training grounds.


A few hours had past and both Mikoto and Naruto were exhausted and were sitting against a tree with Itachi.

"That went well" Said Mikoto who was being aided by her son. "A few more lessons like that and you will be a grade one Sword master in no time"

"Just out of curiosity Naruto were did you get that toy from?"

The young blonde spent the next while explaining to the two Uchiha's about how that fox gave him it as a present and how he could talk to him and helped him with training. After he had explained the four (including the fox) continued talking about life in general until Itachi decided to point out the time.

"Ooops oh well nobody will really care they'll all be too busy with Tsumi to even realize, specialy Minato and Kushina" he said as he got up.

"Sweatheart you should really call them mum and dad not by their names" Said Mikoto also getting up but she new full well why he didn't and she couldn't blame him seeming as she'd do the same.

Mikoto and Itachi walked with Naruto up until the compound gates where they parted ways with the blonde,

"Good bye aunt Mikoto, Itachi-niisan. Thank you so much for the presents" said Naruto hugging the pair, "your the best family ever" with that the young blonde headed out towards home waving back at the Uchihas he now considered his family.

"I feel really bad about not being able to tell him" said Mikoto to her son still waving towards the young blonde.

"I know but we will tell him when the time is right and remember the desicions his" replied Itachi walking back towards their house followed by his mother


"Ino! Sakura!" Shouted Tsumi as she hugged the two girls who had just arrived. "Come in!"

It continued like that until all the guests had arrived. Finally the last of the guests arrived which consisted of: Sakura, Ino, Sasuke, Choji, Shikamaru, Hinata, Kiba,Neiji, Tsunade, Jaraiya and Kakashi.

They were all sitting in the living room watching Tsumi open her presents when Tsunade realized someting,

"Where's Naruto?" she asked, she couldn't tell what was annoying her the most: The fact that her godsons parents didn't even care where he was or that they were clearly favoring Tsumi. "Do you even care about your ONLY son?"

"We do he's probably just out with his friends" replied Kushina not taken any interest in the conversation.

"What friends? Do you even now who his friends are? And any way their going to be here aren't they seeming as it's HIS birthday too!" Shouted Tsunade becoming very annoyed with her friend. Was she and Jiraiya the only two who cared for their Godson? Because it was starting to feel like it.

" as long as he comes back safe which he most likely will everything will be fine" cut in Minato ending the conversation.

"Oh Minato I'm so disappointed in you" muttered Jaraiya under his breath.

Amongst all the commotion nobody realised the presence of the young boy until he decided to make himself noticed.

"Hey Baachan, Ero-senin how are yous?" Asked Naruto walking straight past his parent not saying a word to them and over to were his Godparents were sitting.

"Nice to see you Naruto happy birthday" said Tsunade handing him a present. "I hope you like it" she smiled at the young boy, he was the spitting image of his father but yet he was shunned so much.

"This from me" said Jiraiya also handing him a present.

Naruto sat down and opened his gifts, from Tsunade he received a scroll of basic chairs control and medical ninjutsu also from Tsunade he got a simple necklace with a green jewel.

"It was my grandfather, the first Hokage's" she said smiling at the look on the young boys face.

He moved onto opening the present he received from Jiraiya, inside that were scrolls on ninjutsu such as the rasengan, basic wind, lightning and fire jutsu's along with another scroll on how to find out your chakra type.

Whilst this was going on Tsumi was still playing with her friends when something came into her mind.

"Any one who speaks to or plays with my brother is no longer my friend" declared Tsumi for all her friends to hear. The whispered amongst themselves before they all agreed apart from the HYuga heiress. She liked Tsumi's younger brother more but was too scared to say anything so just carries on with the rest of the group.

Just as Tsumi had thought her brother did come over and ask to play with them and just as she had also expected everyone ignored him.

Naruto left the room after being ignored by all the other children so decided to go somewhere were he had someone who actually cared about him. He entered his room and close the door behind him, making sure no one could hear him to went over and sat on his bed and started talking to his fox.

"Why does everyone hate me?" Asked Naruto he was surprisingly smart for his age, some could say his intellect was on par with the young Nara.

'Don't let it bother you Baka, its all Tsumis fault she probably doesn't want her friends being friends with you but you don't need them, you have me Itachi and Mikoto. We like you for you not because your a hero'

It was strange the fox kept going on about ow he didn't 'like' him but yet he always comforted I'm and made him feel better.

"Thanks fox"

The two carried on talking until the party was long over and Tsumi was heading to bed with her parents so Naruto also decided to go to sleep. It went like they were going to come and say goodnight to him was it?

He climbed into his bed and snuggled into his fox. "Night fox" he yawned before going to sleep.

'Night you little Baka'


OK so a few notes : Mikoto and Itachi aren't Sasuke family

Tsumi has most of the Kyuubi's chakra and Naruto has its conchince and the rest of its chairs

OK I'll try and update soon

Please review!
