The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Chapter One :The Night That Started It All

Today was October 10th, the day most had recognized as any other ordinary day just like any other as the citizens and shinobi of Konoha settled down and began to drift to sleep as the midnight slowly began to approach them.

However none of the residents of Konoha were prepared for the surprise attack by none other than the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. Roaring as loudly as it could it began to tear into the village as its shinobi began to rush towards the fox and protect their homes and families.

As that happened the village civilians as well as the younger generation of leaf shinobi were taken underground, though the younger shinobi's against their will since they wanted to protect their homes.

"We can help fight, don't make just sit stand here and watch," a seventeen year old raven haired girl with red eyes declared as a man of similar features stood a little in front of her, just out of reach of the barrier they were being kept behind.

"This fight is for the older generation. If we fail then it will be up to you, the younger generation to carry on our will of fire and protect the village."

"Kurenai," he said looking at the raven haired girl. "Become a great kunoichi and makes me a proud father and a proud grandfather one day," he said before he disappeared into a swirl of leaves, intent on joining the fight to protect the leaf from the rampaging biju.

Kurenai shook a little angrily as her father left and let a stray tear go down her face before a hand placed itself on her shoulder. Looking over her shoulder she saw Asuma Sarutobi, a seventeen year old recently promoted Jonin give her a look that said 'believe in him and follow his words.'

Not liking it she nodded her head in agreement despite still not liking it. Beside her, her fellow graduation class members and current Anbu Kakashi Hatake and his self proclaimed eternal rival Might Gai stood their silently as they observed the beast attacking their home with emotionless looks on their face.

Despite that she knew they along with everyone else all had the same feeling of wanting to do their duty and not feel so useless against the Kyuubi.

As they observed and watched, a small whimper came from behind them making them turn around and made their eyes soften.

Standing behind them was little five year old Naruto Namikaze, still wearing his blue pyjama's with little shurikans decorating around them and a little grey robe wrapped around him. He looked just like his father, the Fourth Hokage with his tanned skin and blonde hair and even had a similar personality to him which made him quite quiet but smart for his age. His eyes though were violet just like his mothers Kushina Uzumaki and had bursts of her personality at times.

He was born on October 3rd and had just celebrated his fifth birthday a week ago with his father and his heavily pregnant mother who was expecting twins. His parents adored him and spoilt him to a degree though they were happy that Naruto never got bratty. He was a very kind, fun loving though quiet little boy who in return loved his parents very much, especially his mother Kushina.

He was very excited when he found out he was going to be a big brother and had did his best to help his mother around the house and try to cause her as little trouble and stress as he could. Some time he even talked to his little siblings in his mother's tummy which always made Minato and Kushina smile at him proudly.

"Where are Kaa-chan and Tou-san?" He asked as he watched the fox destroy his home shifting in his spot a little nervously.

Kurenai went down to her knees and picked him up into her arms trying to sooth him.

"Your Kaa-chan and Tou-san will be okay Naruto. Remember your Tou-san is the strongest in the village and your mother is no pushover either," Kakashi said trying to lift the boys spirits.
