Madara's pov

I watched the child from a distance. I know her gender, but it was very easy to forget that she is a girl because how she acts. The girl is just too good of an actress. She acts to hide her pain. I hate it. Her parents are no better. They neglect her and beat her when she tells the truth. Why? Well, it's because of the so called Jinchiurikis of the village. Ha! These brats will sooner die before they even tap into the beast's chakra! They don't even know that they don't even have the nine tails chakra. They disgrace my clan's name with how weak they were! But the girl in front of me, playing silently in the sand box, had true potential. She can conquer the world if she wanted to. And I really hope that she does. My heart squeezed tightly as I watched her. I know that she is wearing a wig. I know she is hiding her gender. I know that she is strong, and I've seen how she trains. The way she trains is sadistic, I never trained this hard. Even when I trained, it was never to this extent. What is her name? Naruto Uzumaki. A child prodigy. She stood up and it was then that I took notice of the mark on her exposed back. A mark of a skull. My eyes narrowed into cat-like slits. That bitch sold her daughter's soul to her sadistic older brother. Said man has a deep hatred for the poor girl. Naruto walked away and I followed her silently. I followed her to an old abandoned house. My old abandoned house. I knew that she has been living here since she was 3 years old. I've been providing for her since she first came here. I made her dinner every night after seeing her burn herself badly on her first attempt. I was angry at her for going to sleep hungry, but I can't blame her for giving up. She did get a very nasty burn that day. She did get better at cooking. She made food for me. I love her food. She started to cook a very old favorite of mine. Seems like she took after me. Naruto Uzumaki. She is a sweet young child. She is close to her younger brother. He loves his big sister. I do feel for the boy. His sisters were spoiled. I'm glad that he takes after Naruto. But some of her bad habits rubbed off on him. She is a very smart girl. Able to fool even me for the longest time. She is a crafty one too. She had made a lot of her own personal styles. She brings a whole new meaning to silent. It's hard to keep track of her. Too hard. She is respectful and the kid is responsible with her power. I'm amazed that she hadn't gotten arrogant with power yet. She also has medical problems. Naruto is prone to very severe panic attacks. And I stress severe. Its hard enough on her. I watch this child everyday and each day, she breaks and lose more of herself. It's a sad sight. The real crime, and the worse one in my book, is that Naruto had emotionally broke down not too long ago. It was around the same time she found out that she was in a arranged marriage with her cold uncle. The man had a deep seeded hatred for her, despite not having met the girl. So Naruto snapped and, in a burst of anger, disowned her family and the Uzumaki clan. She then left the house with what little she had on her. Little Naruto has been living in the old abandoned Uchiha home since. I had been watching her for a long time. I watched as she locked her emotions away since that day. Her parents had been looking for where she lives. But could never find it. I didn't know it at first. Like I said earlier, Naruto Uzumaki is a very good actress. The girl should star in a movie. Faked the emotions so well that I didn't know until it was too late. Naruto faked it until she simply forgot what emotions ever was. She faked that bright light so many times. The way I found out was that she caught me in the house. She looked at me with such lifeless eyes. She then asked me for death. There was a tiny piece of hope that I saw when she asked me this. I told her no. I told her that there was something for her to live for. She told me that I was wrong. I asked her why I was wrong. She told me that Kami made a mistake with her. No matter what I said, Naruto always had a comeback. I shook my head. This girl is a goddess among men. A sad and broken goddess. I watched as she cooked. She would've made mother proud if they met. I wished this child was born years ago. I sighed and left. I have things to do.

Skull's pov

I glared at my younger, idiotic sister. Not only did she and Minato neglect my fiancee, she also doesn't know where she is. I was more than angry. I am far beyond the level of fury. I hated the girl because I thought she was spoiled like her sisters and brothers and even tried to kill her. The brats and her husband were tied to chairs watching us... talk. On the first night I came home, I did follow Naruto. The kid was hard to track. Very hard. I was forced to use some of my skills to find her. Skills that I use only for the most dangerous criminals. When I did find her, she was covered in so much dirt that her hair was pitch black. The girl was so thin. Her white shirt was a dirty brown and it was ripped up so badly. Her knee length pants were ripped up as well, but not as bad as the shirt. Her body was covered in deep black and blue bruises. Some purple and yellow. She had looked like she was running from life. But to be honest, she was really hiding from it. After watching her for the first few months, it was clear that Naruto was not who she was made out to be. And what made me furious was Kushina lived a life close to the one that her daughter lives now. "You lied to me little sister. I was told that Naruto, my fiancee, was a spoiled little whore who loves to ruin lives. When I came back, I followed your son, only to find a darker carbon copy of what I saw when I found you close to the same position years ago. So tell me, dear sister, why the fuck, not as his fiancee, but as his uncle, is my nephew on streets repeating our family history?! Does he even know that he has a fucking family to come home to?! Does Naruto even know that he has a good damn home to come to?!" I snapped at her and Kushina flinched back in fear. She looked down at the floor. My eyes glowed in a dark red as I started at her. I don't want to reveal Naruto's gender because I knew that Kushina would tell Minato and that fool would tell the village about it. I didn't want my bride to be used as a breeding stock. "We needed to train Nozomi, Mito, Ace and Menma. They needed to learn how to control the Fox's chakra." She said and I slapped her with so much force that she flew to the wall. "And what about your son kami damn it?! Are those 2 no good, unworthy brats so important to you that he isn't worth your time?!" I shouted at her. She fell down on the floor. I didn't call Menma and Ace unworthy brats because they is worth more than their younger arrogant twin sisters. They were the ones that I hated the most. Naruto look exactly like Menma and Ace, and for that I am so glad. She stood up slowly and walked over to the table. She shook her head, denying it. "I love that boy with every fiber of my being! I would never do anything to hurt him! Even if it is unintentionally, I would burn myself to match his pain! I know what it's like on the streets! Both physically or emotionally! I lived it!" She yelled as she looked at me. I walked over and slammed a pack of pictures down loudly. She and the others jumped. "Those brats can never control the Fox's chakra. Even with all the training you do, it will never work. Naruto has the soul and the chakra always goes back to the soul when it involves a tailed beast!" I hissed at her. Kushina gasped loudly in fear. "There is a reason those brats has been tiring out easily. It's because the last of the Fox's chakra left and went back to the soul. Naruto. These are pictures of Naruto that I took. Under the disguise of a photographer, I took many pictures of Naruto. I told him that he didn't need to change a thing about himself. You told me that he had bright golden blond hair. Right now, his hair is so damn dirty that it's black. He's thin, his pants are barely hanging on and his shirt is torn to hell. His skin is colored black and blue from bruises and you can see very clearly the yellow and purple bruises as well. I saw how the boy trains. It's sadistic and cruel, even by my standards. He is so damn good that I had to track him the same way I would a criminal. And the way he eats takes me beyond the level of fury and anything beyond that. He eats out of the trash Kushina. Trash. Do you know how many times I wanted to smack him for doing it. And each time I do, I realize that he DOESN'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY! THAT THE BOY DOESN'T KNOW ANY BETTER!" I shouted at her with so much anger that I punched the wall behind her. She jumped in fright. My eyes glowed a inky black as I glared at her. Fury ripped threw my veins. "You will hand over the uzumaki clan scrolls today, you will not be anywhere near that boy unless you change." I hissed at her and turned to look at her kids. Mito, Naruko, Ace, and Menma had jumped in complete terror. Menma and Ace were never spoiled now that I look at them. They didn't like the flashy clothes they were given. They just wanted to play with their little brother and train with him. I walked towards them and when I bent down in front of them, the poor boys were having a bad break down. But they didn't make a sound at all. Just like Naruto. I guess Naruto had a some- what bad influence on them when she was younger. "Who is Naruto to you?" I asked them softly. Ace and Menma tried to appear unaffected by me, but was failing. We all knew that. "He's my little brother. We train together, and he's really patient with me when he teaches us stuff, and we go out to do fun things. He lets me be a kid, even if I get mad easily." Menma mumbled softly and I patted his head. I looked at Ace. "He is my little bro. He will always help me with things that I don't understand. He is very patient with me like he is with Menma." Ace said looking down. "What else does your Naruto do?" I asked with a soft tone. "He use to protect us from bullies when we were younger and then hit us over the heads for making him protect us. And he sings to us when we have a nightmare and let us sleep in his bed too. He makes our favorite foods and makes us alot of things. He even get us swords to use and scrolls to learn from." Ace said looking down. There was no doubt in my heart or mind that the boys loved their older sister with a undying passion. "What did he do for you that your mom and dad didn't?" I had to ask. I wanna know what my soon to be bride has done for him. "He taught us that family is important. He said that we should always have each other's backs even if we hate each other." They said in sync. A tear ran down my cheek. It was just like mom. She taught us that before she became the head of our clan. I looked at them. "Has he done anything for you that you wish didn't happen?" I asked and that did it. Both Ace and Menma down right broke down. Their shoulders slumped and shook. They shook their head. My eyes narrowed at them. Their eyes were closed, like they were trying to block voices out. "Will you tell me if you were alone with me?" I asked as they shook. Menma nodded at me and I cut them loose. Both shot themselves at me and cried like the kids they were. I glared at Minato and Kushina. "What the hell did you do to them?" I asked them, but they didn't give me a answer. "Kushina go get the scrolls. My men are watching you. Try something and it will be the last thing you ever do." I said and she ran out the room. I took Menma and Ace to the kitchen. I put them in a seat and pulled a chair up. "What did Naruto do that your mom and dad didn't do?" I asked them again, with much softer this time after his sobs died out. He was still holding me. "He died to protect us. We're not sure how he is still alive. He said it was because he had made a promise to always be with us and protect us. When we ask, he will never explained it to us in full detail because he knew that we would get confused. He said he would tell us the full version when we get older." He said quietly and I realized that Naruto came back to Menma and Ace out of pure will and a promise that he was determined to keep. Tears ran down my face as the reality of the truth that the same girl I was going to marry had willingly become the very thing I hate. "How long ago did this happen?" I asked loud enough for them to hear me. I didn't trust myself to talk any louder without breaking down out right. "When he was 7 and we were 14. He has a big scar in the shape of a X on his back. It's the only scar he has." He said softly as I leaned back. 7 years old. "Has Naruto ever told you about ghouls Ace? Menma?" I asked them and they looked at me. Fear shone in those frosty blue and gold eyes. "We met one. It was not a very good experience." Menma said looking away. My eyes narrowed in anger. "What happened?" I asked and the boys shook their head. "We don't know. I was kidnapped by the ghoul and lil bro's came to save me. Menma stayed in little bro's room when this happened. Naruto was the last thing I saw before I was knocked out." Ace said softly and I sighed silently. "It's also the reason that he died." He said and I froze. Did I just heard him right? "It's also the reason why we both have a extreme fear of ghouls." Menma said and I looked at him. "Do you know?" I asked and they nodded at me."We know what he is and he fears hurting us so he left not to long ago to learn how to control himself." He added softly as silent tears ran down his cheeks. I noticed that both boys had made a habit of stressing the word he. They will call Naruto big bro and not the name he was given. They knew that Naruto was a girl. But for how long? "How long did Naruto raise you?" I asked and they looked at each other. "Since he was old enough to reach the stove." Ace said and my eyes bleed red. I slammed my fist on the table. Ace and Menma jumped back, despite the chairs, and got into a fighting stance. Ace was standing in front of Menma in a protective stance. Ready to strike if need be. Is this how Naruto stand in front of them? If so, how long have she been protecting and providing for these boys. Their stance were one I recognized. It was how I used to stand in front of my younger brother before he disappeared. I calmed down and looked at them. "I know where Naruto is. I'll take you to him but you need too keep quiet about his location from Minato and Kushina." I said and both of them nodded at me. I smiled at them. "Then let's go." I said with a smirk.
