Prologue
Unbeta'd so please bear with the errors and I don't own Naruto.
Unknown Location
"Obito," Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage and hero of the Third Great Shinobi War said as he looked at the orange masked man in front of him wearing a black and red cloak. "You remember what to do?"
"Hai sensei," The man Obito said grinning behind his mask. "But I must say I am surprised Hokage-sama, you want me to unleash the Kyuubi on the very village you swore to protect."
"You know very well Obito that my position as Hokage is a way to get back at him." The Fourth stated his voice becoming venomous as his mind picture the face of the damned Asura who had stolen the love of his life from him. "Do not disappoint me Obito." The Fourth warned glaring at the man before him.
"Hai Leader-sama," Obito said before warping away from the true leader of Akatsuki.

Next Day
Asura Residence
"Naruto-kun hurry up I'm hungry -ttebane!" A very pregnant Kushina yelled impatiently as she waited for her husband Naruto to hurry up so they could go to Ichiraku's.
"I'm coming Kushina-sama." A voice called back jokingly before a man came down from the stairs. He was tall, handsome with violet eyes and spiky red hair that was a few shades lighter than regular Uzumaki's. He wore a standard Konoha jounin outfit complete with a black forehead protector tied around his head. He was none other than Naruto Asura, the last member of the Asura clan and husband of Kushina Uzumaki.
"I told you not to call me that dattebane!" An angry Kushina yelled bonking her husband atop his head.
"OWWW Kushina-chan I was only joking."
"You know I don't like it when you joke about that Naruto." Kushina said turning away as her mode saddened thinking of all her clan the Uzumaki had done to their branch clan, Naruto's clan, the Asura.
"I know Kushina-chan I'm sorry," Naruto apologised sincerely pulling his frowning wife into his arms.
"Naruto-kun do you ever regret that day?" Kushina hesitantly asked looking up at her husband who she knew knew what day she was talking about.
"Now how could I regret the day I met my beautiful Kushi-hime," Naruto asked arching his eyebrows causing Kushina to blush before she bonked him hard on the head again.
"I'm being serious dattebane!" Kushina yelled wanting her husband to be honest about how he felt about that day. The day her grandfather ordered him to leave his clan and his home so that he could move to Konoha with her to serve and protect her.
"So am I Kushina-chan," Naruto told his wife seriously. "I don't regret that day." Naruto added before kissing her deeply to reaffirm his statement. "Now let us go and get you that ramen." Naruto announced pulling his lips away from his flustered wife.

Streets of Konoha
"Obasan," Naruto greeted happily as he and Kushina stopped in front of a woman who had been like a second mother to him.
"Naruto-chan," Koharu greeted warmly smiling at the man whom her friend, Naruto's mother, had asked her to take care of since the boy moved to Konoha. "Off to get some ramen for Kushina-chan I see." Koharu stated fondly smiling at the red haired next to her surrogate son.
"Hai Obasan," Kushina answered blushing in mild in embarrassment at how obvious it was that she and Naruto were doing a ramen run to satisfy her craving. "You can join us if you want dattebane!" Kushina enthusiastically offered getting a slight laugh from Koharu as she watched the Uzumaki flush further in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry Kushina-chan but I have to meet with Danzo and Hiruzen," Koharu apologized before smiling as she said goodbye to both Naruto and his wife.
"Naruto-kun," Kushina said calling to her husband as they made their way forward.
"Hmh," Naruto hummed in response as he returned the many villagers respectful greetings he got.
"Have you spoken to Minato?" Kushina asked wanting to know if her husband had spoken to his best friend.
"About the seal," Naruto whispered questioningly knowing that his wife was worried about the fact that it would weaken when she gave birth. "I have," Naruto informed Kushina after seeing her nod. "He and Hiruzen-ojisan have made plans to make sure that nothing goes wrong with the seal during birth." Naruto elaborated.
"And what about Jiraiya-sensei?" Kushina asked wanting hers, Naruto's and Minato's sensei to be there to also monitor the seal since besides her and Minato he was the only sealing master in Konoha.
"I haven't spoken to him," Naruto confessed having not seen their sensei in nearly two weeks.
"Oh," Kushina simply said not liking that her sensei wouldn't be there as she frowned before smiling as she caught sight of someone. "MEBUKI-CHAN!" Kushina excitedly yelled waving at her fellow pregnant friend who stood in front of Ichiraku's before running awkwardly to her.
"MEBUKI-CHAN YOU HERE DATTEBANE!" Kushina said excitedly stopping in front of her friend Mebuki Namikaze.
"Kushina-chan," Mebuki said happily with a smile on her face as she saw the redhead before blushing slightly as she looked at the Uzumaki's husband. "Naruto," Mebuki greeted looking at the once dead last of their class, that she along with most in her class had made fun of, before he had become the very handsome war hero of the Third Great Shinobi War alongside her husband Minato.
"Mebuki," Naruto greeted smiling at his teammate's wife causing her blush to deepen.
"Mebuki-chan we were about to get some ramen do you want to join us?" Kushina asked oblivious to the effect her husband had on Mebuki
"Sure Kushina-chan," Mebuki said smiling at the redhead she had once hated because of Minato's long ago crush on her that the Uzumaki had been oblivious to. But that had changed after the academy when Kushina showed an obvious interest in Naruto and not Minato, causing the blonde man to move on.
"So Mebuki where is Minato?" Naruto questioned wanting to talk to his friend about the Kyuubi seal.
"He's in his office Naruto," Mebuki answered with mildly heated cheeks.
"Okay," Naruto said nodding at Mebuki as he made a mental note to visit his friend after they got ramen.
"OJISAN!" Kushina greeted excitedly as they entered Ichiraku's Ramen.
"Kushina-chan, Naruto-kun, Namikaze-sama." Ichiraku greeted back smiling as he saw two of his top customers and the Fourth's wife. "What can I get you?" The man asked looking at Kushina particularly.
"The usual dattebane!" Kushina said excitedly causing her husband to groan as he felt his wallet greatly lighten from the large bill he would no doubt have to pay when his wife was done.

Hokage's Office
"Minato," Naruto greeted with a smile as he entered his friend's office.
"Naruto," Minato greeted back with a forced smile looking at the man he loathed. "What can I do for you?" Minato asked in a false friendly tone.
"I wanted to know about yours and Hiruzen-sama's final plans for Kushina-chan's delivery." Naruto replied causing Minato to inwardly growl as he heard the man say those words.
'This is the idiot Kushina-chan chose over me. Who can't even make plans for the delivery of his own child,' Minato thought in disgust as he looked at the man who Kushina always had an interest in even when the Asura was the dead last of their class.
"A guarded location has been set up outside of the village where Biwako will deliver the baby," Minato informed.
"And the seal?" Naruto questioned.
'Is going to be broken,' Minato thought chuckling darkly inside as he looked at the man before him who he had set up plans to take away everything from.
"With me there the seal shall remain intact." Minato falsely reassured.
"Thanks Minato," Naruto said smiling at the man. "I know we were not on the best of terms when we were kids but I'm glad that has changed."
"Me too," Minato said smiling back at the man who failed to notice the dark look in his eyes.

That Night
Secret Location
"Push Kushina-chan you are almost there," Naruto encouraged, ignoring the pain he felt from his wife's intense grip as she nearly crushed his hand.
"SHUT UP YOU BASTARD YOU DID THIS TO ME!" Kushina yelled glaring at her husband as she tried to push again.
"Minato how is the seal?" Naruto asked looking right to the Hokage.
"Its fine," Minato replied simply barely resisting the urge to slam a Rasengan into the Asura man's face. 'Where are you Obito?' The blonde man thought getting angry as he wondered where his student was.
"One more big push Kushina-chan," Biwako encouraged as she saw the head of the first baby.
"AHHHHHH!" Kushina screamed tighten her hold around Naruto's hand before stopping as she heard the wailing of a baby over her screams.
"It's a boy!" Biwako announced cradling a screaming baby causing the child's parents to smile.
"You did it," Naruto said proudly before kissing his wife.
"I did," Kushina said breathlessly as she smiled tiredly at the baby Biwako handed to the medic she had brought to assist.
"There's still one more," Biwako announced causing both parents to sweat drop in embarrassment as they realised they had momentarily forgotten about the other twin in their joy. "Now give me one big push Kushina-chan." Biwako encouraged knowing the second twin easily followed the first.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kushina screamed as she pushed as hard as she could before stopping again for the second time when the wailing of another baby filled the room.
"It's a girl," Biwako announced holding the second baby.
"Mi-" Naruto began wanting to ask the only blonde in the room about the seal but stopped as he sensed another presence in the room before he watched as two kunai buried themselves in Biwako and the assistant's throats.
"Minato Namikaze and Naruto Asura," A man with an orange mask said as he appeared in front of Kushina, Naruto and Minato holding the two babies that had just had been delivered.
"Whoever you are let my children go," Naruto growled dangerously as he gathered nature chakra with his Asura bloodline. Turning his violet eyes into glowing orange-yellow orbs as his pupils took on a cross like shape.
The man behind the orange mask chuckled before doing exactly as the Asura had asked and letting go of the two children.
'No,' Naruto thought in alarm as he watched the man let go of his babies before bolting towards one of them and catching it the same time as Minato caught the other using his Hiraishin no Jutsu(Flying Thunder God Jutsu).
"Naruto take the babies to safety and I'll go get Kushina," Minato said with an authoritative tone that hid the anger he felt on the inside over the fact that his jutsu had been matched by Naruto's speed.
"Hai Minato," Naruto said nodding to his friend before taking the other baby and using his Sage Mode enhanced speed to run with them to safety. Planning to come back and help Minato retrieve Kushina and kill the man who had dared take his wife and threaten his children.

Koharu's House
"Obasan!" Naruto called urgently as he appeared in his aunt's house.
"Naruto-chan," Koharu said alarmed as she heard the urgency in his voice and saw the man eyes that told her he was in Sage Mode meaning something serious was going on.
"I need you to keep the babies safe," Naruto said urgently not wanting to stay longer than he had to as he prepared to go retrieve his wife.
"Naruto-chan wh-" Koharu began to ask wanting to know what happened but getting her answer as she and everyone else in Konoha suddenly felt a powerful malice filled chakra flood the entire village before a loud roar sounded around her. "The Kyuubi." The old woman whispered in shock and fear.
"I have to go stop it and save Kushina obasan, I need you to take care of the babies" Naruto stated in a serious voice as he sensed the Kyuubi in the centre of the village and his wife chained up outside of it by the orange masked man that was now fighting Minato.
"Be safe Naruto," Koharu said worriedly as she took the crying babies from the man she saw as a son.
"I will," Naruto promised, glancing a final time at his babies. Before running out the house as he used the sage chakra he was continuously gathering to enhance his speed.
Line Break
"We have to move the Kyuubi outside the village," Hiruzen said more to himself than those around him as he watched the damage the kitsune was doing from a roof top. "I need Enma." Hiruzen whispered as he formed the hand seals to summon the monkey king but stopped as a firm hand gripped his shoulder.
"Naruto wha-" Hiruzen began wanting to ask why the Asura had interrupted himbut stopped as he saw the calm and controlled look in the man's eyes. A look he had only seen in the eyes of his predecessors.
"Don't worry ojisan I've got this," Naruto said calmly, his voicing caring to all the shinobi around who turned to look at him.
"Naruto we have to move the Kyuubi outside the village." Hiruzen ordered earning a nod from the man who ran forward dodging the bijuu swiping claws before he stopped behind the kitsune and gripped one of its massive swaying nine tails.
"Argh," Naruto gritted out in mild effort as he, much to the shock and awe of those watching, lifted the mighty bijuu by its tail and threw it over his shoulder towards the outside of the village walls.
"HEY KYUUBI!" Naruto yelled as he ignored the awestruck looks he got. "YOUR FIGHT IS WITH ME!" Naruto announced holding out both of his arms he charged towards the snarling bijuu that turned to him outside the village walls.
"FUTON: RASENRENSHURIKEN!" Naruto yelled as two large orbs surrounded by fuma shuriken-like wind blades formed in each of his hand before he tossed them both towards the snarling Kyuubi.
BOOOM
Two explosions sounded as the jutsu hit the massive bijuu along its sides.
'Wow,' most shinobi thought in awe as they watched one man battle the mighty bijuu wondering if his powerful jutsu had worked. Before gasping in alarm as the explosions clouds cleared to reveal an enraged Kyuubi. That snarled at Naruto before opening its largemouth as it gathered balls of negative and positive chakra, slowly forming a massive black one.
"Bijudama," Hiruzen whispered in shock as he saw the Kyuubi in the distance preparing to fire a frightening attack he had first heard about from Hashirama towards Naruto and the village.
'Shit' Naruto thought cursing as he stood in front of the village walls watching the bijuu in front of him gather chakra for a massive attack. 'I have to use it.' Naruto thought hardening his now narrowed eyes as he realised he had to use the one thing that could stop the large orb the Kyuubi was forming. Clapping his hands together the Asura gathered the large amount of nature chakra he would need to perform the technique that was mere legend amongst his now dead clan.
'NOW!' Naruto thought feeling he had gather enough nature chakra as he willed it to manifest around his body, shocking every shinobi watching as an orange-white flame like chakra form began appearing around the Asura before slowly taking the form of a large humanoid as it grew larger and larger.
"Hokage-sama what is that?" A shinobi asked his eyes staring at the three headed and six armed large humanoid that formed around the Asura.
"I don't know," Hiruzen whispered shocking several as they heard the 'Professor' say he didn't know.
"Argh," Naruto groaned in effort from inside the humanoid as he concentrated on balancing the large amount of sage chakra that he was gathering and manifesting from his body.
"Sensei," Obito said as he stood across from Minato who held an unconscious Kushina in his arms. "Perhaps we should kill him he could become a problem." The Uchiha suggested as he and the Hokage watched Naruto form the impressive humanoid across from the Kyuubi that was about to fire it's attack.
"No," Minato said in an even voice that hide the anger he felt from watching the man he loathed perform such an impressive technique. "I need him alive for what I have planned." Minato added knowing that killing Naruto would stop his plan to do to the Asura what he did to him. "Do you have the seal?" Minato questioned looking at Obito.
"Yes sensei I have it here," Obito said pulling out the complex seal his sensei had given him.
"Good with the technique he's using he'll no doubt be unconscious for at least a few days. That should give you enough time to place the seal on him and dump him where I said." Minato instructed knowing he had to leave now if was going to save the love of his life Kushina who slowly dying from the extraction as she lay unconscious in his arms.
"Hai Sen-" Obito began wanting to say he understood but was interrupted by a loud explosion that sounded in the distance.
BOOOOOOOOM
Everyone in Konoha heard as the Kyuubi's launched bijudama collided with Naruto's six armed avatar. Creating a massive shockwave as the tail beast ball exploded trying to overpower the sage chakra avatar.
"Argh!" Naruto gritted out in effort from inside of his avatar, as he poured nature chakra into it to sustain the humanoid as it took on the full force of the bijudama explosion.
'Naruto,' The Third and several shinobi thought in worry as they watched the bijudama explode in a near blinding flash of light as it tried to destroy the avatar before sighing in relief as the light faded to reveal an intact orange-white and black chakra humanoid.
"KUCHIYOSE: YATAI KUZUSHI no JUTSU(SUMMONING:FOOD CART DESTROYER JUTSU)!" Naruto and every other shinobi heard as a yellow flash appeared high above the Kyuubi.
'Yondaime-sama,' the shinobi watching all thought in relief as the large cloud of smoke that had appeared above the Kyuubi cleared to reveal Minato who stop atop Gamabunta with his cloak bellowing in the wind as he carried an unconscious Kushina bridal style.
"Wh-" Gamabunta began in a gruff voice from above the Kyuubi wanting to know why he had been summoned but stopped as he caught sight of the avatar in front of him. 'Asura's Avatar!' Gamabunta thought in shock his eyes widening, as he stared at the technique that only Asura Otsutsuki was known to be able to manifest.
"Gamabunta I need you to help hold down the Kyuubi so I can seal it!" Minato yelled from atop the toad boss's head, breaking it from its thoughts as it realised it was atop a thrashing biju that was about to escape.
"Right," Gamabunta said as he moved to better pin down the struggling biju but failed to as the Kyuubi used its superior strength to begin overpowering the toad. "Minato I cann-" The toad boss began wanting to tell Minato he couldn't hold it down but stopped as six chakra arms moved around him to help better pin the biju down.
"Naruto," Gamabunta whispered in shock as the toad saw it was the Asura man who was manifesting the technique of the sage's son.
"MINATO YOU NEED TO SEAL THE KYUUBI NOW!" Naruto yelled as he felt his avatar begin to fade.
"I know," Minato snarled under his breath as he flashed in front of the Kyuubi before gently laying Kushina down as he prepared to use a sealing jutsu that would allow him to seal half of the Kyuubi in Kushina and the other half in himself without summoning the shinigami.
"SHIKI FUJIN!" Minato heard someone yell from behind him before he could begin his sealing turning his and everyone else attention to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"HOKAGE-SAMA!" "HIRUZEN!" Both Naruto and Minato yelled respectively, the Asura in shock and the Namikaze in anger.
"Minato-kun, Naruto-kun I will be doing the sealing and I leave this village in both your hands!" Hiruzen said telling both men he was ready to die and there was nothing either of them could do to stop him.
"Hai Hokage-sama," Naruto said lowly, nodding respectfully to the man who was seconds away from sacrificing himself.
"Hai Hokage-sama," Minato begrudgingly said making sure to sound respectful since most of the shinobi of Konoha were watching but inwardly growling as he watched the old man who had soiled his plans to gain half the power of the Kyuubi.
"Goodbye Naruto-kun," Hiruzen said smiling sadly at the man in the avatar that he had helped Koharu raise.
"Goodbye ojisan," Naruto said smiling back at the man, before him and every shinobi watching watched as Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage, sacrificed himself to seal half the Kyuubi back into Kushina and the other half into himself.

Two Days Later
Konoha Hospital
"Argh," Kushina groaned as she felt her whole body aching in unquestionable pain. "Na-ru-to-ku-n," Kushina croaked as her senses gradually came to her calling the name of the person she wanted to see most as her vision cleared.
"KUSHINA!" The red head heard as more of her hearing came back to her.
"Na-ru-to-ku-n," Kushina croaked hopefully thinking it was her husband calling to her but only meeting disappointment as more of her sight and hearing cleared. "Mi-ko-to," Kushina managed with her aching throat as she looked at her Uchiha friend who stood over her with a worried expression.
"Kushina!" Mikoto called again in worry as her and everyone else in the room watched the redhead awake.
"Mi-ko-to-cha-n wh-e-re i-s Na-r-ut-o-k-un?" Kushina managed weakly wanting to know where her husband was since she couldn't see him in the room.
"Here have some water," Mikoto said as she offered her best friend water for her dry throat making sure to dodge Kushina's question as she helped her drink.
"Thank-you," Kushina said as finished gulping down the water relieving her throat. "Where is Naruto-kun?" Kushina questioned looking around the room that was filled with her friends.
"Kushina-chan, how much do you remember?" Koharu asked breaking the sombre silence that had filled the room since the Uzumaki's question as she stepped in front of her.
Kushina frowned as she racked her brain before gasping as she went through the last of her memories. "THE BABIES, THE KYUUB-" Kushina began rambling in panic but was stopped by Koharu who laid a hand on her shoulder to stop her.
"The babies are fine," Koharu reassured with a smile. "And the Kyuubi was dealt with."
"And Naruto-kun?" Kushina asked looking around the room wanting to know where her husband was and why no was answering her.
"H-he," Koharu began hesitantly wanting to tell Kushina what happened to the man they both cared for but failing to as she broke down into tears thinking how she would never see him again.
"Koharu let me," Minato said making his way from Mebuki, who held their newly born son Menma, before laying a sympathetic hand on Koharu's shoulder to let her know he would take the burden of telling Kushina.
"Kushina," Minato began with a heavy sigh. "After helping with the sealing of the Kyuubi Naruto passed out from exhaustion, he was admitted to one of the rooms next to yours to recover. But the masked man came back and h-he," Minato continued forcing his voice to break up as his expression saddened. "H-he infiltrated t-the ro-om and killed the ANBU guards I had assigned to guard it before killing him." Minato added reciting the lie he had told everybody. "I'm sorry Kushina."
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NARUTO-KUN CAN'T BE DEAD!" Kushina yelled staring at the individual faces in the room as she tried to find some hint of this being a cruel joke in their expressions before breaking out into tears as she failed to find any.
"I'm sorry Kushina," Minato said moving forward, wanting to embrace and comfort the woman he loved but failing to as Mikoto beat him to it pulling the now sobbing Uzumaki into her arms.
"It's going to be okay Kushina-chan," Mikoto soothed hugging Kushina as she failed to see the look of malice Minato sent her.

Nami no Kuni
Tsunami hummed to herself in the kitchen as she prepared the fresh fish she had purchased from the bulky fishman Yoshi at the harbour earlier today. She was preparing it for dinner with the herbs the old lady Ono had been kind enough to give her.
"TOUSAN CAN YOU GET THAT!" Tsunami yelled from the kitchen, pausing her cooking as she heard a knock on their front door. "TOUSAN THE DOOR!" Tsunami yelled again, listening for any reply from her father to show that he had heard her. "Fine I'll get it." Tsunami grumbled lowly as she wiped her hands, before sighing as she thought of how her father Tazuna had probably passed out drunk.
"Yes," Tsunami said opening the door before screaming in fright as her eyes caught sight of something.
"TSUNAMI WHAT IS IT!" Tazuna asked as he drunkenly made his way to the door having heard his daughter's scream. "What is it Tsunami?" Tazuna asked again turning a flustered Tsunami to her father who simply pointed her delicate finger to a naked man who lay passed out on their porch.
"Tsunami bring me a blanket!" Tazuna ordered causing the blushing Tsunami to nod as she ran off to get a blanket to cover the naked stranger, the flushed woman and her father not noticing the lone glinting Sharingan eye watching them in the distance.
A/N: So this is a fic I thought of after reading all the neglect stories that seem to only overly bash Kushina but not Minato. It will have Minato Bashing.
The Pairings which I feel I need to mention are Naruto/Kushina/Tsunami and Minato/Mebuki. No Minato/Kushina whatsoever for those wondering.
A bit of back story, Naruto comes from the Asura Clan, a clan that stems from Asura Otsutsuki, which swore years ago to serve the Uzumaki. They all died during the invasion of Uzushio making Naruto the last of its members. The Clan's abilities are basically like Cannon Asura's: they are all generally late bloomers, they generally have an affinity to most elements and they have a much easier time gathering sage chakra and balancing it.
Now Naruto's abilities are an affinity for all five of the elements, an ability to gather sage chakra whilst mobile and finally the ability to manifest Asura'a avatar. Now Naruto won't have Yin-Yang release or Truth Seeking Balls because his Sage Mode is not Rikudo Sennin Mode their eyes just have a similar appearance.
Also for those wondering Naruto moved to Konoha with Kushina, they were friends since the academy with both being placed on Team Jiraiya with Minato. Naruto was the dead last with Minato the prodigy and Rookie of the Year. More will be revealed as we go on.
Thank you that's all please leave your feedback and NO FLAMES PLEASE. If you don't like the story simply DON'T READ IT or leave a polite review saying that. Don't RANT AND FLAME. Thank you.
