Chapter 1 - In the Beginning

"What is your mission, Kitsune?" Sarutobi asks.

"To protect Uchiha Sasuke." the young boy replies. Blond and scarlet hair. One eye blue and the other violet. The boy barely speaks. He actually just retaught himself how to speak a few days ago.

After torture at age four, Namikaze-Uzumaki Naruto, the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, is taken under the wings of the several ANBU that saved him. Four years later, only eight years old, here stands Kitsune-sama, the commander of the ANBU.

Just how far will Naruto go to protect Uchiha Sasuke?
