Naruto Namikaze: Legacy of The Lost Sage

The Nine strikes and the Tenth is Born

It doesn't matter what you do, if you live and die as you like. However, no matter what road you end up taking, remember to protect the people that are precious to you.

- Hiruzen Sarutobi, The Third Hokage

As the civillians and shinobi were going through their day to day lives, a certain blonde haired leader was... well.

"Namikaze Minato you better not try that stupid excuse to get out of this mess *screams*," cryed out a short tempered red head.

Minato sweatdropped alongside everyone in the room "Kushi-chan you're almost there hehehe," Minato as he laughed akwardly

"Congratulations Hokage-sama it's a boy," said Biwako. Biwako was the wife of the third hokage and was a friend of Minato and Kushina.

"Congratulations indeed Hokage-sama," said a dark, mysterious voice as a hooded man leapt out from the shadows and stabbed a kunai in Biwako's neck, then catching.

"Biwako!" shouted Minato and Kushina in unison but the latter having a much quieter voice as she was exhausted.

"Minato she's coming out" screamed Kushina as most of the body of a newborn girl came out. Minato got the girl out safety and leapt to get Naruto as the man had dropped him. Minato then flashed away as Naruto's blanket was covered in explosive tags. "MINATO!" shouted Kushina in agony as the hooded man ripped out the Kyuubi from her seal.

I wonder...do you have it, young as you are... the Will of Fire?

The hooded man put down his hood as his orange swirled mask came into view. His face became distorted as he disappeared from view. Then just outside the village the words "Summoning Jutsu" were heard and a giant plume of smoke appeared. When the smoke cleared, it revealed the fear of all the male Bijuu; the fear that all males with a decent IQ had and the fear of everyone single male shinobi out there.

It revealed... Icha Icha special... with no pages

Everyone sweatdropped at this and started to panic and hyperventilate. A certain silver haired boy went into a coma "Ok... lets try that again Summoning Jutsu," said the masked man as he akwardly laughed. This time a huge red fox with nine tails appeared.

After only 1 minute and 12 seconds, nearly all of Konoha was destroyed. A flash of yellow appeared behind the masked man and it knocked the masked man over. "So Minata you think you can bea-" the masked man didn't even get to finish his sentence as Minato flashed straight... wait through him "See Minato, did'nt your mother teach you manners," chuckled the masked man as Minato flashed straight through him again.

This continued until the masked man got bored and got on the offence using his taijutsu with his intangiblity to push Minato back. Minato then got a chance to hit him while he was not intagible but a distortian in the air made him jump back. "See Minato i can't let you defeat 'me' and allow the jinchuriki to live so..." said another masked man with a... orange swirl mask. Is today a special day or something. The new masked man caught Minato off guard and reached his hand out to end him but he suddenly heard a voice he never wanted to hear again.

"Madara" growled an medium blonde haired teen as he ran to the new masked man and grabbed him flashing away. He then returned and with Minato's help made the old masked man retreat cutting his connection with the masked man.

"Who are you," asked Minato when they were alone.

"Me?" replied the mysterious teen "It doesn't matter who i am Hokage-sama but please forgive me for dooming your daughter and Naruto to the lifehood of a jinchuriki," then he chopped Minato in the back of the neck knocking him out.

Before Minato succumbed to the darkness he saw the Kyuubi being sealed into 2 beings on a small alter.

It is a place where every year shinobi are born, raised, grow old, fight, and die to protect their home. These people are precious to me. We share a home, we share a life, and though we may not share ties of blood, they are precious to me. They are my family. And if I do fall, you still will fail. I am only one of a long line. I carry this title in trust for those Hokage who came before and those who will come after. I am the Third Hokage!

The Kyuubi was sealed into the 2 children with Naruto and Naruko having their yin and yang parts sealed into respectively.

Before Hiruzen also succumbed to darkness he saw Naruto's seal alter for a second before returning to normal. "So, it seems the story Hashirama told me was real it is ali-" whispered Hiruzen, dying before he could finish the sentence.

The words that would forever stay in the hearts of the children

When the tree leaves dance, one shall find flames. The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and once again, tree leaves shall bud anew.
