On the night when Itachi Uchiha slaughters his clan, Naruto is beaten and tortured severely by the local villagers of the village. The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, comes up with a plan to get Naruto out of the village, and orders Itachi to train Naruto, but to send him back 2 weeks before the Genin Exams. Now, Naruto returns with two new goals in mind. Become Hokage. Protect Itachi's little sister, Sayuri Uchiha. Naruto x Sayuri (Fem!Sasuke) *Don't own picture* *Don't own Naruto....yet....*

MAJOR EDITING PHASE IN PROGRESS!! A tale in which an orphaned child and Konoha native, Haru Senju, embarks on a journey of self discovery, love, broken bonds, and the path to becoming one of the greatest Kunoichi shinobi society has ever seen. Book 1/4 in my Senju series

The Fourth Hokage's body was never found, but they never suspected that was because he hadn't died. Minato Namikaze wakes up six years after the devastating Kyuubi attack, alone in an overgrown clearing with not a scratch on him. Disoriented and confused, he does exactly what any father would do in this situation. He fights through the pain, gets up, and goes to find his son. He trudges through the pounding in his head and forces himself to move-- to go and find him, because that masked man was still out there, and Minato is willing to do anything to protect his little ball of sunshine. Needless to say, the blonde kage wasn't expecting so much time to have passed. Nor is he very impressed with the way the village has been treating his son all these years.

It all started with a mission. He had to take care of a baby. Easy, right? Read how Naruto takes this journey.
