Well, the premise is:
What if Naruto's mom was Maki Kagura, and after the Kyuubi incident, he was taken in by the Yata clan?
The premise works as follows: the Yata are one of the few non-ninja clans in the Leaf, being shinto priests and priestesses dedicated to keeping the Leaf free of evil spirits. Thus, they have some huge influence, more than even some estabilished ninja clans.
Yonny married Maki, and Maki got pregnant with Naruto. However, when Kyuubi attacked, one of the Yata's enemies (namely a Heavenly King, as the Yata clan was responsible for trapping Orochi generations before) snuck in and killed Maki while Yonny was out sealing the furball in Naruto (whom maki agreed to use as the host, as he's a Yata clansman, and thus it's his duty to fight demons any way he can as well... thus sealing Kyuubi in him would be performing his duty).
At the time of the attack, only two Yata clansmen were powerful enough to seal Kyuubi, BTW, but Maki was bedridden from the childbirth, and Chizuru, her twin sister, was away on Yata business. So Yondaime had to seal Kyuubi himself.
Following the death of both his parents, Naruto was taken in by Chizuru upon her return, and grew with the Yata, learning their arts. He also learned their secret - to use Ki (which in my fic is spiritual energy) instead of Chakra (which is lifeforce), thus making him able to fight effectively even without his difficult to control chakra.
Despite the Yata clan's best intentions, Naruto is still looked upon unfavorably by the common people - while it's known he's the Yondaime's son, narrow minded individuals still consider him to be the same as the demon, and said individuals sadly make up the majority of Konoha. However, most high ranking ninja know better. Thus, he still has a boisterous attitude, as even with Chizuru giving him attention, he's still somewhat miffed that some people hate him for no good reason at all (he isn't meant to know about Kyuubi until he's older). Thus he tries to get people to like him, but his eagerness to please is mostly met with hostility or indifference.
This still causes Hinata to start stalking him, though, and also catches the eye of several young kunoichi of variable ages who mostly happen to be in the rebellious phase where hormones start acting up and the desire to defy parents rises. :snigger:
As a result, Naruto finds himself with a stalker and a small fan club including Tenten, Hana Inuzuka and Hanabi Hyuuga (!). Needless to say, this somewhat irks most parents, with the possible exception of Hiashi Hyuuga, who's positively drooling at the possibility of unifying the Hyuuga and yata clan - it'd increase his influence immensely, and he's one of the few enlightened ones thanks to Chizurus efforts.
From there on... the rest is a history waiting to be written. What are the Heavenly Kings up to (and Naruto WILL cross them - they killed his mom after all)? What about Akatsuki? What about the Uchiha clan? And will more KoF characters show up? :snigger:
Time will tell... well, time and whoever writes this.
