Background
Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but smile at the way Naruto gazed at the young baby in his arms. He actually looked in awe at the little bundle just as any father does the first time they see their child for the first time. The young man was completely fascinated by the girl, every time she gurgled he would get a small smile on his face.
Hiruzen also took time to look at Naruto closely. His resemblance to Minato was uncanny, they could have been brothers, in fact he couldn't help but wonder if they were possibly brothers. The Jinchuuriki used the Rasengan to break through the barrier and that was one of Minato's prized jutsu's. It can't be copied just by observation you have to understand the mechanics behind it so Minato must have taught him. But why was Kushina so surprised to see him.
His eyes lowered to what he was wearing, his eyes widened when he caught the Uzumaki symbol on his t-shirt. Konoha used it on their uniforms from the alliance during the Shodaime's time as leader but the aged leader was sure he had never seen Naruto in the village before. Possibly a coincidence but Kushina was hugging him and crying on his shoulder, was he somehow related to the Uzumaki clan as well. Perhaps that was the reason he wished to take up the name.
His thoughts were shaken as they got closer to the village. It saddened the man's heart greatly to see his proud village in the state it was in. Gazing at Naruto again he was surprised to see the genuine sadness in his eyes, perhaps he was from the land of whirlpools after all. He looked old enough to have lived through that massacre.
Letting out a sigh he asked "Naruto-kun, would you rather shunshin to the Hokage tower?" Naruto looked up in surprise at the question before he shook his head "I'd prefer to walk there, besides I'm unknown in the village, I might look like my brother but I'm not him. I would be seen as a threat now the situation has passed, Shikaku-san already tried to capture me before I arrived back there" He indicated the area behind them.
Hiruzen's suspicions of Naruto being Minato's brother were confirmed when he heard him say this.
Hiruzen chuckled "Ahh yes, like all Nara's he is very observant of his surroundings, no doubt he thought you might have been part of the attack. Very well then"
As they walked through the village many people looked at the Yondaime lookalike in awe, curiosity or fear but when they saw the bundle in his arms it turned to hate and glares. "Hmm I guess those Jounin you sent back have spread word about Naruko-chan Hokage-jiji"
Looking around he nodded "It seems they already are thinking of her as the demon itself. I don't know what would have happened if you had not arrived Naruto-kun. The Anbu and I would only be able to watch her for so long and due to the current state of the village we would have to increase higher missions to get the funds to get back on our feet"
Naruto sighed before looking up at the sky "Like all Jinchuuriki she will be hated, it varies depending on where they grow up. It could be as little as ignoring her existence to as bad as assassination attempts. I'll be there to help her but still the parents will tell children to stay away from her more than likely. I hope some won't be so foolish and allow their children to play but one can only hope, I don't want her to live a life like mine"
Hiruzen looked saddened at hearing this but he nodded understanding it was likely true. They finally made it to the Hokage tower and Hiruzen led Naruto to his now once again office. He stated to the Anbu present that Minato had killed in his battle before asking them to gather the council for an emergency meeting.
He then activated the sound barrier seals as well as a crib that was sealed on the side of the desk that Minato had installed before he asked a question he expected Naruto not to answer but asked none the less "How bad was it for you Naruto-kun?"
Naruto walked over to the crib and placed Naruko inside of it before he closed his eyes in thought before he opened them and smiled over at the old man "It was rough, I was ignored in my early years, kicked out of the orphanage at 5 and lived on the streets for a year. During that time a villager saw my whisker marks and from that day on I was beaten almost daily and my Bijuu healed my injuries. After a year a kind old man that saw me for me and not the demon got me an apartment that he paid for with his own money. If he hadn't have watched out for me I might have turned out much different, he acknowledged me and showed me love"
He stood and walked over to the window with sad look at the village below he said "What was hard was I never knew about my Bijuu, I only found out during an assassination attempt on my life when I was 12. Slowly I earned the acknowledgement of my people but none of that matters now, they're all gone" He said sadly not wanting to look the man in the eye.
Hiruzen let out a sad sigh believing he had connected the dots. Once he found out Naruto was 18 he gambled with the next statement he stated "You're from Uzushio aren't you Naruto-kun. You have very potent chakra even for a Jinchuuriki, Kushina was distraught when you introduced yourself, you used an Uzumaki jutsu to pin down the Kyuubi, you wear the Uzumaki symbol on your clothes and you wish to take the Uzumaki name. I know you are Minato's brother you told me so yourself but you're an Uzumaki aren't you"
Naruto looked up with wide eyes and was about to reject the statement before the Jubi roared 'Gaki this is the perfect alibi, don't you dare say it's not true. One you are quite skilled with Fuinjutsu as all Uzumaki are. Two, no one would question why your 'daughter' was chosen for the sealing. Three you used an Uzumaki technique to pin down the Kyuubi. Four not even the Hyuuga will question your dense chakra. Five if my memories are correct Uzushio was almost completely wiped out during the Third great shinobi war, the Gobi Jinchuuriki took part in that massacre. There is no one around to refute your claims'
Sighing knowing the stupid wolf was right he looked the Hokage in the eyes and said "Hai, I see you didn't earn the title of Professor for nothing Hokage-jiji"
Getting a massive grin Hiruzen clapped his hands together "This is perfect Naruto-kun, it will only reinforce the idea that Naruko-chan is your daughter, not only do you have similar names, an Uzumaki has potent chakra and longevity that makes them perfect to become Jinchuuriki."
A few moments later an Anbu shunshined into the room "Hokage-sama, the council is waiting for you in the chambers" The Anbu paused when he saw Naruto and proceeded to stare at him. Naruto meanwhile would recognize that silver hair anyway and chuckled "Yes I am related to Minato Namikaze"
Kakashi gasped at what he just heard. Hiruzen chuckled before he stated "You can remove your mask Kakashi-kun. Naruto-kun here will be joining the village, he is a survivor of the Uzumaki clan. Naruto this is Minato's student Kakashi Hatake, I assume you stated your relation because Minato described his students to you"
Kakashi did as ordered and removed his mask, the first thing he did was lift his hitai revealing his Sharingan thinking Naruto had some sort of elaborate Henge and gasped for the third time in a few minutes. Naruto chuckled again "Impressive chakra flow isn't it Kakashi-san, I am an Uzumaki after all"
Hiruzen chuckled before he stated "As enjoyable as this discussion is we can have it later, we have pressing matters to attend too now, Kakashi put on your mask and inform the councillors we are on our way. Stay at the chamber though, you will want to know how Minato died"
Kakashi's face fell at that statement, he had hoped the rumors were false before he nodded and placed his mask back on and shunshined out of the room. Naruto went over to Naruko and saw her sound asleep still before he picked her up, she stirred slightly and he froze for a moment before sighing and sealing up the crib and following the Hokage who had a hidden smile under his hat he now donned once more.
When they neared the council chambers they could hear the heated voices coming from the other side of the door. With a heavy sigh the Sandaime Hokage slammed the door open and strode into the room causing instant silence. He went over to take the Hokage seat while Naruto set up the crib and quickly drew silencing around it before activating them. The room was watching the man curiously, they had yet to see his face but three on the shinobi side recognized the cloak.
As Naruto stood and turned around they all gasped at the similarity to their Yondaime Hokage minus the Sandaime, Danzo Shimura, Hiashi Hyuga and Fugaku Uchiha. Naruto rubbed the back of his head and gave a goofy smile "Uh, how are you doing?"
Hiruzen cleared his throat gaining everyone's attention before he stated "This is 18 year old Naruto Uzumaki, survivor of the massacre at Uzushio during the last war and brother of our late Yondaime Hokage. Minato-kun told me himself who Naruto-kun was recently"
"I was unaware Yondaime-sama had any relatives still alive Hokage-sama. Also that there was a survivor from that clan besides Kushina-san who got out before that event" Shibi Aburame stated in a monotone voice. Naruto suddenly thought that Shino was an overexcited child compared to this guy. The other councillors raised eyebrows at their leaders honorific to the new man 'Gaki tell them you were attacked by Iwa-nin that thought you were Konoha's yellow flash'
"If I may Hokage-jiji" The aged Hokage glared at him with slight killing intent when a few of the Shinobi heads chuckled. Naruto shrugged the KI off with the same smile on his face before he turned to Shibi "Years ago I was attacked during my travels near the Iwa border by a squad of Iwa nin. They thought I was related to the Yellow flash of Konoha and wouldn't listen to me try and deny it. Because of my age they didn't think I was a strong opponent yet so attacked me."
Gathering his thoughts he continued "After I killed them I figured they were so adamant I was related to him for a reason. So after the war officially ended I snuck into Konoha and observed Minato and couldn't help but be shocked at the resemblance. He detected me and went to attack but froze once he saw me. That was around a week ago"
The room as a whole nodded understanding how that mistake could be made, if he didn't have the whisker marks, had paler skin and was 10 years older he would be a clone of the Yondaime. Shikaku then raised his head and asked "Can you prove your claims Yondaime-sama knew you or trusted you?"
Naruto blinked at Shikaku and thought he was more troublesome than his son but he merely held up both hands and created two rasengans in them causing the room to gasp as a whole. Shikaku responded with "Very well, I believe you Uzumaki-san. Yondaime-sama would not have taught you one of his prized jutsu or used your daughter if he didn't believe you could be trusted"
The room was silent for a moment before a pink haired woman Naruto assumed to be Sakura's mother spoke "What happened to the Kyuubi Hokage-sama?"
Hiruzen took out his pipe and lit it knowing this could get ugly before he stated calmly "I'm sure it has already reached your ears Haruno-san since Naruto-san and I saw the glares on the way to the tower but Minato-kun traded his life to seal the beast into Naruko Uzumaki, Naruto-kun's daughter."
The room suddenly went silent and watched Naruto carefully to see if he was angry at this happening but were confused when he seemed fine. "Uzumaki-san, I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter. But the demon must be k-" A civilian council member began but didn't finish when there was suddenly a dense killer intent in the room. Even the Hokage was sweating under the pressure.
Then suddenly it was gone when Naruto heard crying and he quickly appeared over to the crib and picked Naruko up. "I'm sorry Naruko-chan, I didn't mean to scare you" He cooed while holding her, a few moments later she calmed down and Naruto placed her back in the crib.
He turned around and sent a glare at the man who had spoken before "My daughter is not dead she is right here Councillor. Know the difference between the demon and the container, also a Bijuu cannot be killed, weakened yes but not killed, if Naruko-chan here dies the Kyuubi would be released to wreak havoc once more. She is keeping it safe from everyone"
It was a gamble to tell such a lie, if Naruko dies the Kyuubi would die with her thanks to the detailed seal but no one present in the room was skilled enough in seals to be able to tell that fact. The statement would help keep Naruko safer with luck. "How do we know the demon won't influence the girl" Looking over at the Civilian who spoke Naruto recognized him as one who always refused to serve him as a child. Glaring he stated "You really have such little faith in Yondaime-sama's abilities?"
Pausing for a moment and inwardly laughing at the look on the man's face the young Jinchuuriki continued "The seal Yondaime-sama used is forbidden for a reason as its use is the cost of one's own life. However it is very effective, the fox will not be able to communicate with Naruko-chan unless the seal is weakened or she is in a near death situation. In this case she will subconsciously open a link to it in order to save her life."
Looking mainly at the civilians to make sure they were listening he continued "It won't influence Naruko-chan in the most basic sense unless she is in a heightened state of distress when she summons forth its power. Even then it depends on Naruko-chan's will and chakra reserves to fend off the rage and bloodlust that she will feel while channelling its Youki"
Taking a breath he continued "This is the problem that most villages have with their Jinchuuriki, they are stupid to attack, neglect or make the person who contains the beast believe they are indeed the beast itself. Since they will willingly give into the rage and bloodlust whenever they channel the Youki and the Bijuu will have a much stronger influence making them likely to turn against their own allies when they use the Youki. When her chakra is strong enough she will literally be able to suppress the feelings the Youki brings while able to utilize the all the extra power she'll have access too"
All the civilian councillors paled as they had all been thinking of finishing the late Yondaime's work and killing the girl or at the very least they all had thoughts of at making the girl miserable. But they were basically just told anything like that would make the girl likely to become the beast they thought she already was "You seem to know a lot about the abilities of a Jinchuuriki Naruto-san" Turning to Danzo he let out a sigh before responding "Of course I do, I'm an Uzumaki and a Jinchuuriki too"
Everyone's eyes widened, some in respect, some in curiosity and some in fear. "I see, it makes sense that a Jinchuuriki should raise another one so I won't question you raising your own daughter but which one do you contain?" Fugaku Uchiha asked with a frown. Naruto looked at him and narrowed his eyes thinking he shouldn't say anything 'No tell him Gaki, lying about me won't help' After a mumble Naruto stated "I contain the Jubi the 10 tailed wolf"
Even the Sandaime's eyes widened at that "There's a Jubi, how many more are there?" Naruto waved his hand "None, the Jubi is the most powerful and the most secret of the tailed beasts which is likely why none of you have heard of it before. Surely you saw the fear on Kyuubi's features and speech when I channelled the Jubi's Youki Hokage-jiji."
"How do we know you are telling the truth of which beast you contain?" Hiashi Hyuuga asked stoically. 'Tell the Yamanaka to enter your mind Gaki' 'Will you harm him?' 'I couldn't even if I wanted to Gaki' Naruto turned to Inoichi "Yamanaka-san, care to confirm what I stated?"
"How did you know who I am" Thinking quickly Naruto replied "I figured out you were a member of the Ino-shika-chou trio Minato spoke highly of and was made famous in the last war when Nara-san there binded me with his shadow" Said shadow user muttered out "Troublesome"
Inoichi turned to the Hokage who nodded before he walked over to Naruto and placed his right hand on his forehead. The room was silent waiting for confirmation.
Inoichi appeared in a dark forest and was confused at why Naruto would have such a mindscape as most people had tunnel systems in their minds that led to various memories. He began to observe the area and noticed that the trees contained glowing fruit and assumed them to be the memories. He heard a growl and a boom turning in the direction he saw a massive wolf staring at him with 10 tails swishing behind before he paled and ended the jutsu.
"Oh Kami, Uzumaki-san why isn't that thing in a cage?" Naruto again thought quickly before he decided to tell another half-truth "Part of the seal, the Uzumaki were famous for fuinjutsu after all. It gives him more freedom within my mindscape but he has less influence over me when I channel his youki, makes our existence together more bearable"
"Well Inoichi-san, was it a 10 tailed wolf?" The Sandaime asked the mind jutsu user. After the man's nod he nodded. He thought of what Naruto told him before about the treatment of Jinchuuriki, giving the council a harsh glare he stated.
"Very well as of this moment the knowledge of Naruto-kun's Jinchuuriki status is an SS-rank secret with the immediate penalty of death. Only Naruto-kun or I may reveal it to anyone else who is not aware. Is this understood?"
Again the Civilians paled drastically, they wouldn't even be able to speak of the demon in front of them or face death. A few moments later the room was filled with "Hai" Before he turned to Naruto "Is there anything you wish to add Naruto-san?"
"Why isn't Naruko-chan included in that law Hokage-jiji?" Naruto questioned with his eyebrows raised, the Sandaime let out a sad sigh before replying "It's too late for that Naruto-kun, the village is already aware of the sealing of the Kyuubi as you saw walking to here with me. The best I can do is make a law to prevent the village from speaking of her tenant to the younger generations and change a fact of tonight so the children won't figure it out themselves. Minato-kun killed the Kyuubi by using a self sacrificing jutsu"
Naruto let out a sigh but nodded while looking at the civilians "I request there be a law put in place that prevents stores and restaurants from overcharging or refusing service just because of her Jinchuuriki status, if they have a valid reason I believe is fair I will not argue against it but not just for that reason alone. Also there will be those that will try to attack Naruko-chan at some point regardless of what I've stated since it isn't common knowledge or people just will refuse to believe she is anything but the demon itself. I don't want a law in place but I request permission to defend my daughter. I will not kill anyone who tries but I will hospitalize them as a warning to others. I grew up a Jinchuuriki so I am fully aware of how cruel people can be"
Hiruzen sighed before he stated "Does anyone have a problem with these two requests?" A few of the civilians looked like they wanted to protest but they held their tongues. When no answer came he nodded before he stated "Very well, then all three shall become laws, first no one is too speak of the Kyuubi's fate to the younger generation. Two services cannot be denied for Naruko-chan's status alone and Three Naruto-kun has permission to defend his daughter even against shinobi but is forbidden from killing offenders. I shall announce the laws tomorrow to the populace, now for the last order of business, Naruto-kun what rank ninja are you? I have my suspicions after seeing you overpower the Kyuubi but I wish to hear what you have to say"
Naruto eyes widened at that while the rest of the room looked at him in shock, he forgot he wasn't a ninja in the village right now. He thought about it and couldn't actually think of how strong he was, he had always been a Genin but he could beat multiple Kage level shinobi (Akatsuki) and that was only using Sage mode. Since he mastered the Kyuubi and learnt quite a number of high level Jutsu what level did that put him at?
Looking at the Hokage after some thought he stated "Well I never got beyond Genin in my village but I'd say just from my knowledge of jutsu, chakra reserves and experience in battle I am easily Kage level. Thanks to my abnormally high chakra reserves I can use all five chakra elements, although my true affinities are Fire and Wind. The other three elements need way more chakra than they would normally need to work but it even my strongest attacks dent my reserves enough to bother me"
The eyes in the room bugged out at the boy's simple answer and Hiruzen began to laugh and the ninja side nodded their heads after processing the information, from the sound of what they had been told so far the Jinchuuriki's upbringing was not pleasant so it makes sense he wasn't promoted above Genin, also he would have been around 10 when the massacre happened. To hear that he could use all 5 elements shocked everyone present.
All eyes turned to him before he stated "Naruto-kun you had the Kyuubi scared and stuttering, you broke through at S-rank barrier jutsu with one attack and you are a Jinchuuriki of the most powerful Bijuu and you state that you can use all 5 elements, possibly even possess a Kekkai Genkai that hasn't activated if you are anything like other Jinchuuriki. I think it's easy to say you are Kage-level but as I am the Hokage I'll be giving you the rank of Elite Jounin. Is that acceptable?"
He asked while gazing around the room that occupants were still looking at Naruto in shock, Hiashi had his Byakugan and Fugaku had his sharingan activated and both had their mouths open at the sheer amount of chakra they were seeing on the man.
Tsume was giving him a seductive gaze as she was seeing him as the ultimate alpha male, the fact he contained a hound demon that happened to be the strongest just added to it. The civilians were looking at him in fear knowing he could kill them with ease if he wanted. Shikaku, Inoichi and Chouza were sweating realizing if Naruto had seen them as a threat when they caught him he could have wiped them out with ease.
Danzo, Homura and Koharu were all inwardly seething realizing the young man would not be easily manipulated or controlled by them. With his strength and relation to Minato he could very well be the next Hokage sometime in the future. When the Sandaime heard no objection he stated "Very well then, officially welcome to the village Uzumaki Naruto, as you are Minato-kun's brother I believe that you should receive his possessions since his will was set up to whatever children he may have one day and unfortunately he doesn't have an heir"
No one disagreed with the Hokage's statement before he nodded and stated. "This meeting is adjourned, we will make an announcement to the village in the morning, Anbu notify the populace of the summoning and to gather at the Hokage tower at 0800 hours. Naruto-kun could you come with me to my office"
The councillors began to file out of the room after the dismissal all still eyeing Naruto, a few of the civilians chanced a glare at the baby behind him but when Naruto looked at them they paled and walked quickly out of the room.
"Well Naruto-kun I don't think you'll have to worry about Naruko-chan too much, I have no doubt that the Civilian councillors will spread the word about your power at the very least and many will be to scared of you to treat the girl too harshly in your presence" Hiruzen stated as Naruto picked Naruko up and resealed the crib.
Scratching the back of his head Naruto sighed as they began to walk off "Not exactly what I wanted Hokage-jiji but it will help though. Only the incredibly stupid people will do anything even when I'm nearby now, most likely shinobi who won't believe how strong a young Shinobi like me could be"
Walking into this office he dismissed his Anbu before he took his seat waiting for Naruto to place Naruko back into her crib before he stated "Must you keep calling me Jiji Naruto-kun" Naruto nodded seriously and the old man sighed before he opened the drawer and tossed him two scrolls.
"That's your Jounin vest and Hitai in the white scroll. The second one is what Minato-kun set up for Naruko-chan once she reached Chunin, it has the instructions to his property and how to get in plus this can be like a test of sorts. It has a -"
Hiruzen's eyes widened when Naruto merely bit his thumb and wiped it on the seal, it glowed for a moment before vanishing. "Well that answers the question on whether you really are related to Minato-kun"
Naruto just put on a big grin before reading the contents. He let out a low whistle and at the Sandaime's inquisitive gaze he stated "My brother was paranoid, perimeter seals, blood seals on the doors and windows. There seems to be some altered blood seal on the gate and if this is right there's even an impressive seal that I believe keeps up a dome barrier surrounding the property like the one he used to keep you out while he faced Kyuubi. It looks like it requires chakra regularly to maintain. According to the date it would fail in 3 days and the blood seals would fade in 3 years with the amount of chakra put in them"
Hiruzen sighed "In other words the place would have been ransacked or destroyed as soon as they fell, since Minato kept all his money in the house Naruko-chan would have been left with nothing" Naruto nodded realizing that must be why he never heard of it back in his time. "Very well Naruto-kun, I assume you can get there on your own?"
"Hai Hokage-jiji." Naruto was about to get up to leave when he said "Uh, there isn't anyone you know that can be trusted to watch out for Naruko-chan if you require me to go out on missions is there? I assume Kakashi-san can't since he's an Anbu"
Hiruzen nodded with a sigh "Actually its village procedure to put new villagers or shinobi that come to Konoha on probation. You won't be able to leave the village for 6 months to prove your loyalty to the village. However I will have a look on who might be suitable and present them to you after the announcement tomorrow since you'll want to get to know them yourself before leaving your daughter with them I'm sure"
Agreeing Naruto nodded before leaving the room with Naruko and Hiruzen Sarutobi finally allowed his shinobi mask to fall. It wasn't only Minato, Kushina and the countless shinobi that were lost tonight, his wife had been with the former two during the birth so she was now gone as well. The proclaimed god of shinobi allowed the tears to fall as he grieved for all those that were lost that night.
Meanwhile Naruto had decided not to walk through the village without the Hokage so shunshined directly to the outside of the house. It was in the shinobi district of the village that Naruto was pleased about since it meant people wouldn't be as hard on Naruko there. Walking up to the gate he had a close look at the seal.
It was more detailed than an ordinary blood seal, it seemed to be tied into something that Naruto assumed was the barrier and couldn't help but think how ingenious it was. He tried to touch an area around the seal and found that the barrier was indeed there.
It was ingenious, it prevented anyone from getting access to the property unless they had the former Yondaime's blood. Biting into his thumb he wiped it over the seal and it glowed before there was a slight shimmer all over the gate and it swung open. As soon the gate shut there was another shimmer indicating the barrier going back in place over the gate.
Naruto then walked to the two story house gazing at the size of the area around it and realized he could set up a decent training area on the far side of the house. He once more swiped his hand on the seal on the door. Once it glowed and vanished he stepped inside. He smiled lightly at the simple light colours and designs of the house, walking through the entrance hallway he saw stairs straight ahead and to his left a simple living area with a few pale blue couches.
Past that was the kitchen and after noting that it was stocked full of basically every food but instant ramen he sighed realizing he would need to learn to cook at least for Naruko's sake. He made note of the cupboard full of baby formula and couldn't help but think his parents had gone overboard but realizing how much he ordinarily eats that it might be necessary.
Walking back he didn't go up the stairs yet and looked to find a laundry, the door opposite had another seal, unlocking it he noted that it didn't vanish but the door opened with stairs heading down. Following them he found an impressive stock of various alcohol as well as scrolls lined up against the opposite wall.
Why his parents put the alcohol in the same high security room as the scrolls Naruto wasn't quite sure. But Naruto had developed a liking to it after some of his Sensei's had pressured him into it during his 2 year training. Oddly enough he could still get drunk it just took much more than a normal person, Bee said it was because the Bijuu feel the effects they do, he told a story of the drunken rantings of Hachibi, well from what Bee could actually remember.
Then he went upstairs to find 4 rooms, one was set up to obviously be Naruko's room when she was older, a spare room, the master bedroom with a cot next to the king size bed. The last room was something that made Naruto pale and look at Naruko in shock as comprehension dawned on him.
Flashback
Tsunade walked into the giant turtle that housed Killer Bee and Naruto. Looking up at the young Jinchruuriki smiled "Baa-chan what are you doing here?"
She scowled at the nickname that was given to her before she smiled evilly at the blonde Jinchuuriki "I'm here to teach you one of the most important skills anyone should have Gaki"
Naruto looked up in surprise "Really baa-chan? What are you gonna teach me?" It was then that he heard crying and his nose twitched and he looked around in confusion, he sniffed the air and found it was coming from Tsunade's direction. Frowning he said "Uh, Baa-chan you smell bad and who's that with the crying baby"
The woman glared at him for a moment before the evil grin came back again "Oh it's not me that smell is coming from Naruto-kun, it's her" She indicated the baby before her smile widened "I'm going to teach you how to care for a baby for the next few weeks and it looks like lesson one is changing her diaper"
"W=what? Why do I have to learn that?" Naruto demanded eyeing the baby like it was her fault
Tsunade began to laugh before she stated "This is your punishment for trying to flee here 5 times. Now come here so I can show you-" Naruto started to back away slowly "Get here now Gaki"
Naruto took off with Tsunade after him. 5 minutes later Tsunade was dragging a kicking and screaming Naruto back to the baby while she was chuckling darkly and the attendant with the baby looked on in worry.
Flashback end
Naruto suddenly realized that he would have to change, feed and bathe Naruko. He looked down at her sleeping face and flinched when her face twitched, as if she had sensed his fear she opened her eyes slowly and looked up at him. He swallowed thickly when her face seemed to scrunch up for a moment before she began to cry. A familiar smell filled the air and he let out a sigh.
Placing her on the table he panicked for a moment before he made two Kage Bushin ordering one to go make up some formula and the second to pass him what he needed. A few minutes later Naruko lay quietly looking around in wonder in a fresh diaper and an orange top. The first Kage Bunshin returned to see Naruto was thanking "Baa-chan" like some kind of god.
"Ahh boss I've got the formula here" Naruto turned and nodded before taking it and ordering it to dismiss itself, he checked the memory to make sure it was done right before picking Naruko up and putting her on his lap and feeding her. Naruto couldn't help but look at her curiously, the Kyuubi must already be strengthening her muscles because she was trying to hold onto the bottle herself.
It could also be because of the fact she's got Uzumaki blood, they are renowned for their longevity and large chakra reserves that could be playing its part as well. Sighing Naruto realized that anyone would see this as strange especially those at the orphanage. He vaguely wondered if they actually fed him in those first few weeks. They probably didn't, hoping that the boy would die of starvation but the Kyuubi would have kept him alive.
Naruko ended up finishing the entire bottle and Naruto blinked before taking it away and burping her. She seemed content then and Naruto let out a sigh before heading to the Master bedroom placing her in the cot and looking down at her "Well it looks like life's gotten a lot more interesting huh Naruko-chan"
He couldn't help but chuckle at the concept of raising your younger self...that is actually the opposite gender. With a deep sigh knowing it was unlikely he could ever get back to his own world and the fact he witnessed his parents die a few hours before he let the tears fall silently. He had been able to hold his mother in the flesh, his father had praised his strength something he would be eternally grateful for at least that chance.
"I promise I'll be the best parent I can be Naruko-chan. The parent I always wished I had growing up" He created two Kage Bunshins to grab some formula or diapers if the need arises before he lay down on the bed and went into an alert sleep.
