Of Foxes and Blades

Chapter 1

It is October 10th in Earthland the night was young and the stars were fresh, a young man was running for his life because he knew that if he didn't get there soon he was going to die, not from a monster or a band of rouges like what he was famous for fighting no he was going to be killed by his wife, he was Minato Namikaze the yellow flash, the fastest mage alive and one of the ten wizard saints, he wasn't supposed to be afraid of anybody but his wife Kushina Uzumaki was a different story. Not only was she also a member of the ten wizard saints, she specialised in blades and chains and though she loved him she was not above beating the hell out of him for doing something wrong, and now was one of them moments.

Today he decided to go on a small mission thinking that nothing would go wrong, all he had to do was defeat a band of pirates that was terrorising a small fishing village, no sweat right, wrong add in a giant see monster and some bad timing on his/his sons part and you get a scared s class mage in a hurry to see his son born and not get his ass kicked by his wife, yep life was great.

Finally flashing to the hospital he asked the receptionist where his wife was before setting of full sprint to the birthing room.

"I'm here, I'm here did a miss anything?" Minato asked his wife as she grasped his hand tightly she screamed into his ear "WHERE WERE YOU, I TOLD YOU DON'T GO ON THE MISSION BUT NO MISTER YELLOW FLASH HAD TO BE THE HERO AND RESCUE THE POOR VILLAGERS AND MISS THE BIRTH OF YOUR FIRST BORN SON, IF I WASN'T GIVING BIRTH RIGHT NOW I WOULD KICK YOUR ASS."

"Sorry I promise that I won't miss anything little Naruto does from now on, forgive me?" He asked crying as his wife stated to crush his hand in her magic powered grip.

"I will after this." Kushina said as she squeezed his hand harder as the doctor told her to push. After 10 minutes of crying, screaming and swearing and that was just from Minato, little baby Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze was born. After a few hours the couple were allowed to leave the hospital and return home, placing little Naruto in his crib both saints went to bed waiting to show everyone In Fairy tail, their son. Unfortunately they weren't going to get all the sleep they wanted as a few more hours into the night an unknown presence tricked the rune seal alarm waking them both straight up.

"Naruto" they both said as they leapt out of bed and ran towards their babies' room, knocking the door of its hinges they were shocked to see a clocked man in the room holding their son in his arms.

"Shit" the intender muttered before jumping out of the window followed closely by Minato and Kushina, Kushina re-equipping a katana and threatening to cut the man's balls of before dismembering him limb from limb for ever touching her son with his filthy hands and other brutal ways of punishing him. Minato was just silent trying to catch the guy without using his magic as he was quiet low on his reserves from the job and then the subsequent dash to the hospital, to be honest if he wasn't so low on magic this guy would be knocked out his son would be in his wife's arms and he would be back in bed, damn he hated it when his wife was right.

After half an hour of running, jumping, swearing and dodging spells they made to the centre of a forest, the kidnapper stopped and started laughing, when Minato was about why he was laughing hundreds of caped wearing people came out into the clearing.

"What do you want with my son?" Minato asked annoyed that he was outnumbered by all these people with very little magic, tonight was going to be a long night. "Simple this child has high reserves of magic and will make an excellent sacrifice for Lord Zerefs resurrection hahaha!" the one holding Naruto exclaimed before he was cut off by an uppercut by Kushina.

"My son is not going anywhere with you people." She said as she picked Naruto up and placed a rune on him before re-equipping a short sword to protect her son. The blade was 20 inches long, made out of a black metal and had a red hand guard and handle, the blade was called Nightcore a sword that when used at night its power would double at night, the blade would send out slices of dark magic at her opponents. "I don't care how many of you there are none of you will touch my son." She yelled as she swung her sword sending a wave of dark magic at the group of cultists, she then used her chain magic to tie up a few of the cultists that managed to dodge the attack. Minato was using some of his lightning magic to defeat the cultists in front of him. He stretched his arms out and summoned a magic seal at the end of them, "Lightning canon" He yelled sending a large blast of lightning at a horde of cultists, before creating a sphere of pure magic energy in his palm and slamming it in another cultists back "energy style: rasengan" he said before flashing off to fight some more cultists.

After a few minutes of fighting and more and more cultists joining in one of them managed to get a lucky strike on Kushina and she fell to the ground, blood coming out of her back as she held her son close in her arms. "No one is going to hurt, no one is going to hurt you" she kept on repeating as Minato tried to get to her, "Kushina noooo" he yelled as he saw one of the cultists walk up to her with a sword in his hands prepared to kill her and take Naruto from her dead body. He got behind her and raised his sword ready to lower it and decapitate Kushina, he laughed as he started to lower the bade but stopped when he heard the howl of a beast but it wasn't a dog or wolf it was a fox, said fox jumped out of a bush and bit the swordsman's wrist forcing him to drop the sword. The cursed but then fell silent as the fox jumped and ripped his throat open. The fox then walked over to Kushina and took a sniff of her blood, it then growled loudly and started to grow, first to the size of a horse, then the size of a house before reaching its true form a giant nine-tailed fox. The fox roared into the night causing everyone to look up at the demon before them. The fox howled into the night before sending all nine of its tails crashing down to the ground crushing most of the cultists and forcing the rest of them to flee on sight.

Minato shocked at the sight of the demon fox quickly remembered why he was here and saw his wife on the floor underneath the fox. "Kushina" he yelled as he rushed over to his wife and shook her awake "come on wake up speak to me." He pleaded she started to grown "5 more minutes" he smiled before whispering something in her ear waking her up. "Hello Mrs Uzumaki I am sorry for interrupting this family moment but I need to talk to both of you" came a voice that was new to both of them, standing there was the giant fox that had rescued them but instead of being the size of a small mounting it was now the size of a horse but still had nine-tails, "who are you, how do you know my name and what do you want with us?" Kushina asked. "I am Kurama, the nine tailed fox demon as you can see, but also I am an old ally of the Uzumaki clan, at first our two races the human and demon clans hated each other and wished to destroy each other, we fought a lot of us died on both sides. A few thousand years my ancestor was a young pup that was orphaned during the ancient war, as I walked around looking for food he was found by a human orphan named Kato Uzumaki your ancestor. He rescued my ancestor and the two became friends, my ancestor on Kato's deathbed promised that his family would look after your clan in their direst need, and for you that need is now."

"What do you mean?" Minato asked.

"What i mean is that that your child is in great danger, as you know followers of that prick Zeref would do your child harm for their own gain, for that I offer you my protection by me when he is old enough teaching him a style of magic long forgotten, a magic as old as the dragon and god slayer magic, Demon slayer magic. This will make sure that he is safe from any threats in the future. That is my proposal will you accept it? Kurama asked.

"How long will you take him from us" both asked hoping for a short answer.

"It will take nine years for him to complete his training." He said making them look down depressed. "Don't worry the first 3 years of his demon slayer training he can stay with you, that will start when he's five, so you will get eight years with the kit before he leaves for the rest of his training. Do you agree with the deal?"

"Will he be alright during his years training with you?" Kushina asked tears welling up in her eyes. Kurama nodded. "Will he be able to learn our techniques as well?" Minato asked getting another nod from Kurama.

"Then we will trust you with Naruto, please keep him safe when he's with you and make sure he becomes the strongest possible." Kushina said whilst crying. "Don't worry I will." And with that Kurama shrank back to the size of a normal fox and the family walked home.
