Star crossed Shinobi
Prolog
Konoha the village hidden in the leaves, is a strong Ninja village. Wars came and went but Konoha stood proud. Many other Ninja villages tried for years to destroy this great village, but none have Succeeded… so far. That fateful day when the nine-tailed fox demon attacked was one of great loss. "We need to keep it away from the village" a Hidden leaf ninja said trying to draw the attention of the giant fox demon. Another ninja throwing shuriken with paper bombs attached to the end of them flew at the demon. "Oh, you telling me now you realized it was heading that way? Here I thought it was just going for a stroll" another ninja said half joking. "This isn't time for jokes if this keeps up more people will die" the first ninja said. The fox demon just turned to the ninjas and with a swing of one of its tales killed over a dozen of Konoha's ninjas.
In Konoha hidden away from the fighting a tall blond hair guy with blue eyes stands and watches on as the fox demon comes closer to the village. He is clinching his fist 'I should be out there fighting to protect my village but...' his train of thought was broken as soft hands wrap around him. "Minato, you need to go the village needs there Hokage" a woman about the same age as the man she called Minato said. She was a little shorter than Minato with fire red hair with soft eyes and a fair complexion. Minato sighed as her words fell on his ears. "I know Kushina but… the elders have given strict orders for me to stay here in the village." Kushina moved her hands to her hips "and the fact you don't want to leave your pregnant wife's side has nothing to do with it." Minato sighed as he turned to face Kushina even nine months pregnant she was the most beautiful woman Minato had ever seen. "I don't want to leave you and our son alone. What if something happens while I am away fighting that demon." He is conflicted on one hand he does not want to leave his wife and unborn son alone, but on the other hand he is the Hokage the leader of the village hidden in the leaves. His heart was torn between his love and his people. He was very uneasy about why the fox demon attacked in the first place it was not adding up, but with him hidden in the village he had no idea what was going on. "Go Minato" Kushina said with a warm smile "Naruto is not due for another week I can handle myself here until you return." Minato smiled at his love and softly nodded as he threw on a white cape with flames on the bottom of them. "I will be back in a flash" he said smiling playing with words of his nickname as Minato disappears onto the battle field. Red eyes like fire peered from the forest. The red eyes that would peer into your soul stared threw the forest daring what it was looking at to come after it. Like it was challenging the man it stared at begging it to come closer, so it could sink its teeth into flesh of its target.
