Footsteps could be heard echoing down the dark, empty corridor. A woman with hair so red it shined as bright as a flame ran down the corridor, her child, still a newborn, was clutched in her clawed hands like a lifeline. Her emerald eyes were filled with such determination she was sure she could set anyone aflame just by glancing at them. Her fangs were bared in a feral way as any kitsune mother was after giving birth. Her skin tone was soft and light in contrast to the male that was running behind her in the shadows or the child that lay resting in her arms.
"Kushina, hurry! We can't waste any more time." Her mate slowed his paced as did she. Kushina's breathing was ragged and rushed because of childbirth and the strain of running. She glared at her mate.
"Let's see how well you do after having a small bundle of joy come out of a very tight spot for eight hours, running from assassins, and a war going on around you! Don't rush me, Minato!" Kushina growled at the man named Minato. Minato grinned sheepishly.
"You're right. I'm sorry, love. I just don't want you to get hurt. You or Naruto." Minato smiled sadly at her. Kushina smiled at him.
"Don't worry... I can handle this and much more! I am the Demon Queen after all." Kushina reassured him proudly. Minato chuckled as he guided Kushina back toward their escape route.
"Yes, a true King is nothing without his Queen." He softly pecked her on the cheek as they continued running.
Minato Namikaze was a truly powerful demon. His title as Demon King was rightfully earned. He had golden hair that flowed on either side of his face. His claws and fangs were longer then his mate's. His piercing blue eyes were said to strike fear in anyone who opposed him. His tanned skin was fair and the child in Kushina's arms looked like his father in physical features except the three whisker marks on the child's cheeks.
The monarchs ran outside onto the battlefield. The ground was soaked in blood. Weapons lay caked in blood, human and demon alike, without owners. Cavalry run rampaging without masters. Corpses lay on the ground motionless devoid of spirit and life.
Kushina's breath caught in her throat at the horrible sight and stench. Minato's stomach clenched painfully as he saw old comrades and friends lie face down in the mud. Minato has seen worse sights since he was a Royal Army soldier before marrying Kushina.
"So much useless bloodshed. Why must everyone fight so much? And for what? For this?" Minato asked himself. But he knew the answer. As a soldier he knew why everyone fought so hard and endlessly. Kushina provided him with the answer.
"To protect everything precious to them." Kushina whispered. Thanks to Minato's sensitive hearing, he heard her perfectly.
He walked towards the field and picked up a bloody dagger. The scent surrounding the dagger told that it belonged to a human. Minato looked towards his son and wife as he heard a soft cry.
"It's okay, my little one. It's okay. Mommy's here. Don't cry, my little Naruto. Shh..." Kushina cooed at the kit and tried lulling him back to sleep.
Kushina smiled at Naruto as he quieted down. It was a genuine smile, a rare one that Kushina hasn't worn since the start of the war. She wore it once after Naruto's birth and once again now. Minato allowed a small smile to graze his lips. Minato would give anything to protect that smile of her's. Minato looked down at the dagger. He clenched his hand around the hilt and watched as his claws dug into his hand. Blood seeped out of the small gashes.
"To protect everything precious to us. That's why we fight." Minato's eyes shined with love as he looked at his wife and child. He dropped the dagger and with a flash he was gone before the dagger even touched the ground.
"Minato?" Kushina felt the wind shift and looked around to find Minato was gone. She grumbled to herself. "That idiot..."
Minato flashed to the war on the west side of the kingdom. Demons were still fighting with the humans. Minato cursed under his breath as he heard screams pierce the night's peace. Minato made his way to the mountains. He tunneled through towards the sealed chambers, keeping to the shadows.
The chambers were a total of nine in all. In each chamber were a powerful Demon Lord, the head of each of the Most powerful demon species in the nine kingdoms. Minato went towards the last chamber. The chamber door had the kanji for fox on it. It was a human language as the demons that were sealed in these chambers were sealed by a human.
Ancient texts wrote that the nine demons sealed here were the Original Ones. The creators of the Demon World and demons alike. They ruled and fought for their kingdoms that exist today. Wars waged every night as battles for power and control shook the lands and seas. All nine demons fought wars by themselves. Wars that took hundreds of years to complete. One demon would emerge the victor while the other would treat their wounds and then the process would repeat. The demons were created to destroy and fight. And fight and destroy they would always do. However, two of the Original Ones were so strong and their wars waged the longest lasting over thousands of years. The eight tailed Hachibi and nine tailed Kyuubi were so similar in power that neither could get the upper hand in just brute strength. The Kyuubi's wins outweighed the Hachibi's own thanks to the unlimited energy of the Kyuubi, an ability that angered the Hachibi to no end. In their very last battle before all the Original Ones were sealed, Hachibi's anger for Kyuubi and Kyuubi's power and hatred clashed and shook not only the Demon World that the nine created, but the Human World as well.
A very wise sage with the power of a tailed beast used his power to go to the Demon World. He met with the nine demons. The Original Ones, thinking this human inferior, mocked and taunted the sage. The sage could sense the demons' hatred. The tension and wars were evidently driving the demons to mutilation. As the Original Ones mocked him, the sage sealed the nine demons into stone cages infused with magic to restrain the demons' powers and abilities. The sage went back to the human world and combined both worlds together believing that one day humans and demons would coexist in harmony under the right King.
'Only one way to unseal Kyuubi's cage.' Minato felt uneasy as this was a powerful demon. Kyuubi was the most powerful Demon Lord and ruler of the Original Ones. Minato just hoped that Kyuubi was sane enough to talk to. After centuries of being sealed, it'd be a miracle if Kyuubi didn't slash Minato! Minato walked towards the door and used the blood that seeped onto his hand from earlier and wrote the kanji needed for the word to unseal the door in his own blood.
"Kurama..." Minato whispered Kyuubi's true name. The blood flowed a red hue and from the blood, cracks started to form in the chamber door.
A growl could be heard from deep within the chamber. And with a strong roar the chamber door shattered, as if it was made of glass. Minato stared into the darkness of the chamber before him. A deep chuckling hit the kitsune's ears. Red slitted eyes of the nine tailed fox glowered at Minato. His fangs were huge and bared. Kurama slowly walked out of the chamber. His ear perked in a feral way and Minato could tell in his eyes that Kurama was thirsty for blood. Human blood.
Minato wasn't accustomed to the red eyes of a demon. A demon with red eyes were said to have their full abilities unlocked. And when that happened a demon would stop at nothing for power and blood. It was the stories that kits and pups were told from early kit hood. A demon can only unlock all their abilities if something tragic happens to them. A demon with red eyes only wants one thing... Revenge.
"Who are you, runt?" Kurama's voice made the chmqber vibrate. Minato bowed his head in respect.
"Kurama. I have unsealed you for a purpose. War is being waged with the humans and our numbers are thinning. I worry at this rate if the kitsunes will go extinct." Minato explained in a hurry. Kurama laughed.
"You've awakened me to help fight your petty battle with human pests? My, my Demon King. How the mighty fall." Kurama's chuckle shook Minato but he refused to be fazed.
"Yes, one as mighty as you, Kurama, have fallen the farthest it would seem." Minato said gesturing towards the chamber. Kurama's eyes glowed as he glared at Minato.
"Insolent kit! You dare speak to your king like that? I'll kill you!" Kurama swiped at Minato while the latter flashed out of the way. Kurama growled as he crushed the stone of the mountain under his paw.
"I was made Demon King for a reason you see." Minato smirked as he dodged another blow. Kurama roared in annoyance at him.
"Pathetic! You're asking for help and you insult me. You'll never win my respect like that!" Kurama roared again. Minato got ready to dodge again but no other blow came.
"Yes, but I unsealed you and am allowing you to get a portion of your revenge. So, we're even!" Minato retorted. Kurama growled in reluctance.
"For now, Namikaze, for now..." Kurama agreed as they both made their way to the battlefield.
Kushina raced through the forest. Naruto was crying hysterically because of the running and she had no way of calming her son down.
"Please calm down, little one. We'll find Daddy soon." Kushina rocked Naruto a little as her feet crushed the grass underneath.
Naruto wasn't buying it though. He screamed some more until a roar threw Kushina off. Kushina stared wide eyed in the direction the roar came.
"No, please, no..." Kushina pleaded as she raced towards the sounds of screams. Running at full speed she spotted Kurama and Minato taking human life one after the other mercilessly.
Minato slashed a human's throat. An image of Kushina and Naruto filled his mind as he slashed at the humans. Minato would fight and keep fighting to protect his two precious loves.
"Minato!" Minato heard Kushina's cry and turned around after knocking down a human soldier. The sight he saw struck his heart and soul cold.
Kushina had Naruto clutched in her arms as a sword of a human pierced through her stomach. Minato's blue eyes widened in shock and horror as the sword was soaked in Kushina's blood. Kushina's eyes focused barely on Minato's as she began to slump.
"Take care... of... him..." Kushina whispered as her body slumped fully on the sword. Minato, who grabbed Naruto beforehand, shook with rage. Tears streaked down his face as he clenched his teeth and eyes shut.
The human however didn't give much time to grieve as he thrust his sword through Minato's shoulder. Minato growled as he clenched the blade of the sword to restrain movement. Minato didn't register the pain in his shoulder or hand. He felt numb. He gripped the blade and Naruto tighter. He looked at the human's face opening his eyes. The human gulped when he saw Minato's eyes. Minato's blue eyes which were once filled with love were now red and filled with hatred.
"Uchiha... I'll kill you, you bastard!" Minato growled menacingly at the human's own red eyes. Minato retched the blade out of his shoulder, and punched the Uchiha in the face. When the Uchiha was on the ground he stomped on the Uchiha's neck snapping it. He smirked in satisfaction as he heard the sick crunch and crack.
He was dragged back into the present by his son's cries. Minato tried calming him down as he dropped down by Kushina's lifeless body. He cradled her body in his lap using his energy to bring up a shield to protect the three of them, giving Minato time to grieve. Minato let the tears flow freely, as he held Naruto in one arm, using his free arm and hand to stroke Kushina's hair and face.
As Kurama's roars and screams filled the night, Minato made a final promise to himself, his wife, and his son.
"I'll kill every last human on this pathetic planet."
