All right, as promised, here is the first corrected chapter of "Son of a Hokage". I made some changes to the chapter and I will tell them to you in a second. First of all, I want to make this perfectly clear. I KNOW what really happened with Minato, Kushina, Naruto and Madara in the manga during the Kyuubi attack. But I kept it the same way I did when I first wrote the story so it's not my problem if you don't like that. Tough luck it's my story and if you don't like it then don't say anything and leave. Second of all, I am probably going to take away the harem for Naruto in this story. It's hard as hell to include a whole bunch of women without getting off track with the story. I already have the girl he's going to be paired with in mind but it's going to be a surprise. This chapter you're going to see Link and Itachi's names only for one scene. Since they're ANBU right now, they'll be addressed as their codenames Hawk and Weasel, just as a warning. Anyway, I've babbled enough so it's time to get to the first chapter. Read and Review when done please!

All was quiet in the village of Konahagakure no Sato. But this night would become the night a legend was born. The Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato and his wife, Uzumaki Kushina, would have a child that would have the fate of the world on his shoulders. Minato stood with the retired Third Hokage, and his teacher Jiraiya inside the Hokage's office. The silence between the three men was broken when Jiraiya spoke.
"Minato, you know it's coming and it won't show mercy right?" asked Jiraiya.
Minato was silent until he nodded.
"Yes, the scouts sent me a message that its arrival will be here shortly." Minato spoke.
"Minato," the Third Hokage began.
Minato looked up at Sarutobi.
"You don't plan to use, 'That' jutsu do you?" asked Sarutobi. Minato was silent before he spoke
"If it comes down to that as a last option. I won't have a choice now will I?" Minato said with a grimace.
Jiraiya sighed, "Minato, if it comes to that, you will have to seal it into a newborn because its chakra coils won't be fully developed."
"I know. I will have to use my son. I couldn't ask a family to just give me their child and use it as the vessel." Minato replied leaning on his desk.
"I see what you're saying, but if you use that jutsu you will die. You won't be able to watch your son become the Hokage like you want him to be." said Sarutobi.
Minato frowned, and knew it was true. Minato was already stressed out as it was. First off he was told his wife might not survive giving birth to his son. And last but not least was that the strongest tailed demon of the world was on its way to Konoha.
"Well, if worst is to happen Sarutobi. I want you to watch over my son. And I want him to be seen as a hero if I have to seal the demon into him," said Minato standing up.
"It would be wise to do so. The villagers may think of him as the demon itself instead of its jailor." Sarutobi replied.
Minato sighed heavily, but remembered something.
"Sarutobi, I want you to read my will if I die tonight. Do not bring it up with the council until he comes of age," said Minato pointing to his desk.
Sarutobi nodded, "I will do so Minato."
Jiraiya put a hand on his students shoulder, Minato looked up at him.
Jiraiya smiled "Minato, if you do use that technique, I'll be sure to train Naruto when he comes of age."
Minato smiled at Jiraiya, "Thank you, Jiraiya. I always thought of you as a father I never had," Minato said shaking Jiraiya's hand.
"And I always thought of you as my son, Minato."
At an outpost along the south side of the village wall stood two ANBU black ops watching for the demon. One had dirty blond hair, blue eyes, pale skin, and was wearing the standard uniform with a hawk mask. The second Anbu was the captain age thirteen, Uchiha Itachi. Itachi was no taller than his companion. He had long black hair which was tied into a pony tail, a tight face with a line on either side towards his nose. He was wearing a white robe with a weasel mask on, his sword strapped to his back. The one beside him also had his sword tied to his back as well.
"Itachi, what do you think is going to happen when the demon comes?" asked the blond.
Itachi thought for a moment before he spoke.
"I don't know, Link. But I know that a lot of fellow shinobi will die tonight when it comes." Itachi replied
"You're right… I truly hope we can defend the village from being destroyed," Link said, looking down at the ground.
Itachi only nodded in agreement, but something caught his eye. Itachi lifted a pair of binoculars to his eyes.
"We need to move and get everyone ready." Itachi said.
Link looked at him with a puzzled expression before looking out towards the distance. He lifted his binoculars as well and noticed a massive red and orange light. Finally he could see the outlines of nine large tails. Lowering his binoculars, he turned to Itachi.
"We need to warn Hokage-sama," Link said, tucking his binoculars away.
"No, you do it. I will get the ANBU rounded up and get the villagers to shelter. When you do that, report to our squad at the gate here," said Itachi as he shunshined out of sight.
"I really need to learn to do that."
Link hopped across the rooftops as fast as he could towards the Hokage tower.
Minato heard a knock on the office door
"Enter." said Sarutobi.
The door opened to reveal an ANBU with a hawk mask standing in the door.
"Yes, Hawk, what is it?" asked Minato.
"Yondaime-sama, the demon is almost here," Hawk said walking into the office.
Minato put on a serious look, "How far away is it? And is Weasel gathering up the ANBU?" he asked.
"About five miles away. And Weasel went to round up the ANBU to get the villagers to safety."
"Good, I need you to get the shinobi of the village ready. And I want Weasel to have three squads of ANBU to get the villagers to shelter. Have the rest of them stay to help the other shinobi." Minato instructed.
"Copy that, Hokage-sama!"
Hawk vanished and Minato stood up from his desk. He glanced out the window and saw the sky slowly turning red and orange. He clenched his fists and glared at the sky.
"I'll be back soon. I'm going to go and check on Kushina," Minato said, shunshining away.
Minato appeared outside the operating room. He looked through the window and saw Kushina crying out in pain. He bit his lip and was beginning to pray Kushina would be okay. He was so lost in thought he never noticed a nurse walk up to him.
"Ah, Hokage-sama!" said the nurse.
Minato wheeled round and came face to face with the nurse. Minato let a grin cross his face and he rubbed the back of his head.
"Oh hello!" said Minato inwardly punching himself for not knowing her name.
"Can I help you, Hokage-sama?"
"Uh, yeah, I was wondering if I can go into the room to see my wife."
"Oh! Of course Hokage-sama! And call me Hitomi"
Minato nodded as Hitomi opened the door, Minato stepped in and walked over to his wife. Kushina looked up at Minato and tried to smile but cried out in pain again. The pain was intense and she wasn't sure how much more she could take.
"Hey honey," said Minato sitting at her side.
"Hey, Minato." Kushina smiled.
Kushina screamed again and Minato clasped her hand as she squeezed it hard. Minato began losing the feeling in his fingers as they turned purple.
"Come on honey! Push!" Minato said with encouragement.
Kushina screamed again and there came a new cry of a baby.
"Oh congratulations," Hitomi said wrapping the baby in a blanket and bringing him over to Minato and Kushina.
Minato now cradled his newly born son.
"Hey little guy!" said Minato tickling his stomach.
The baby giggled as it was tickled and Minato felt his sons hands wrap around his finger.
"Whoa, you got a pretty strong grip there buddy!" Minato laughed.
The baby gave another heartwarming giggle. Minato gently handed his son to Kushina. Kushina held onto her son as she cried with joy.
"Oh, my little boy is so cute!" Kushina said weakly.
Minato chuckled as he wrapped his arm around his wife's shoulder and put his free hand on his son's forehead. Jiraiya entered the room and walked over to the pair of them. Jiraiya looked down at his godson and beamed.
"Wow Minato he looks just like you," Jiraiya said patting Minato on the back.
Minato grinned up at Jiraiya, "That means he's got Kushina's attitude," Minato chuckled.
"Very funny, Minato!" Kushina retorted.
"How about you go see your godfather?" Kushina asked her son.
Jiraiya took the boy out of her arms gently.
"Oh I can't wait to train you, little guy!" Jiraiya beamed.
"Jiraiya, if you make him a pervert, I swear I'll come back and haunt your ass!" Kushina hissed.
Jiraiya instantly turned pale and gulped.
"I was just kidding, Kushina." said Jiraiya.
Kushina began coughing badly and blood trickled from her mouth.
"Kushina!" Minato shouted.
Hitomi rushed over and examined her.
"Damn-it, she's hemorrhaging!" Hitomi said running towards the door. "I need assistance now!"
There came hurried footsteps, as a doctor and a nurse came in. The doctor ran over to Kushina and felt her pulse it was fading rapidly. The doctor pulled out a blood pouch and hooked an IV into Kushina's arm. He began concentrating chakra into his hands to repair the damage. Hitomi and the other nurse did the same. The blood pouch emptied quickly and Hitomi replaced it with a new one. They continued for ten minutes with no improvement and completely out of chakra.
"I'm sorry Kushina, we can't stop the bleeding. You've taken too much internal damage," the doctor said sadly as he looked at her.
"Can't you at least try?" Minato asked tears welling up in his eyes.
"I'm sorry, Hokage-sama. If we try it would lower her heart rate too much."
Minato felt tears fall down his face, there was an echoing rumble. The demon had arrived to the village. Minato cursed angrily. It wasn't fair, it just wasn't fair. Kushina lifted a hand up to Minato's face and smiled at him.
"It's okay, Minato. I will be waiting for you when your time comes," Kushina said as she coughed again. "Please make sure you don't have to use 'That' jutsu unless it's necessary."
Minato nodded and knew that Kushina's final seconds were upon her. Kushina looked at her son after he was back in her arms.
"I will be watching over you, Naruto." Kushina said with a tear trickling from her eye.
Minato took Naruto from her arms and looked down at Kushina again. He leaned down and kissed Kushina one last time. Kushina's hand fell from his face and she fell back on her bed. The last air of breath left her lungs. Minato now held his crying son in his arms. He looked at Naruto and wiped the tears away from his eyes. Jiraiya put his hand on Minato's shoulder.
"Come on lets go," Jiraiya said as he shunshined out of the room.
Minato shunshined out of the room and appeared back in the Hokage's office. Sarutobi looked over at Minato but frowned seeing his face was full of grief.
"Sarutobi, please look out for Naruto for now. I'll be back!" Minato said as he hopped out the window.
Minato landed on the ground and bit his thumb hard enough to draw blood. He slammed his palms into the ground and an echoing boom filled the area. The large cloud of smoke vanished and a giant toad with a pipe and a katana at its side towered over the Hokage's Tower.
"Minato, why is it you have summoned me at this hour?" asked the toad.
Minato hopped onto his head and pointed to the south end of the village.
"That is why, Gamabunta!" Minato said.
Gamabunta looked in front and saw the Kyuubi no Kitsune. He stayed quiet for a moment before looking up at Minato.
"Minato, you know that this demon can't die right?" Gamabunta asked.
Minato nodded, "Yeah, but we still need to try!" Minato said.
Gamabunta nodded and hopped toward the south wall of the village.
Back at the south wall the shinobi of the village were trying to their fullest extent to stop the demon from entering. Hawk and dozens of other shinobi were throwing some kunai and shuriken but none were piercing the Kyuubi's body.
"Insolent whelps!" Kyuubi shouted.
Kyuubi swung its tail at an outpost that was holding five shinobi. The tower exploded showering the area with wood, and blood.
"We gotta' get out of here!" shouted a frightened shinobi.
"No, we need to hold out long enough for Hokage-sama to arrive!" Hawk shouted.
Weasel appeared by Hawk.
"What's the situation so far? I just finished getting the villagers to safety." Weasel asked.
Hawk pulled out a scroll and summoned his bow and arrows.
"We have massive damage done here, and we have about thirty casualties," Hawk replied firing an arrow.
"I see. I will go and get the injured to cover," Weasel said as he vanished.
Hawk fired another arrow, this time in hit the Kyuubi between the eyes. Kyuubi growled and turned its menacing red eyes towards the ANBU that shot at it. The Kyuubi growled loudly and glared at him.
"I think I hit it!" Hawk said in triumph.
"Pathetic little human!" shouted Kyuubi.
Kyuubi swiped at Hawk so fast its paw was a blur. The wall Hawk was standing on with five other shinobi obliterated into rubble. Hawk shot up into the air, with one thought on his mind before he fell to the ground from fifty feet.
"Oh shit!" was all Hawk managed to get out before landing on the ground and blacking out.
Weasel came back to the wall were Hawk was earlier only to find it destroyed. Weasel's eyes widened in fear as he began looking around for his blond friend.
"Hawk? Hawk?" Weasel called out running along the destroyed wall.
After three minutes Weasel found half of a hawk mask on the ground in front of him. Itachi looked around and found a body about 20 yards away. Hawk opened his eyes and saw Weasel running towards him before he blacked out again. Hawk heard Weasel's voice when he reached him.
"I got you buddy, hang on!" Weasel said shaking Hawk to wake him up.
Hawk opened his eyes again his vision blurry and felt darkness cover his eyes. Hawk opened his eyes again and saw Weasel standing above him.
"Stay with me, Hawk! I need you to stay awake!" Weasel yelled slapping his face.
"Hey! Where's that medic?" shouted Weasel.
That was the last thing Hawk heard before he blacked out. The medics ran towards Weasel with a stretcher.
"Get him to the hospital now!" Weasel barked.
The medics put Hawk on the stretcher rather quick, "Easy! Easy!" Weasel said angrily.
The medics ran out of sight. Just as they did, a whole block of houses exploded behind Weasel.
"Damn-it!" shouted Weasel.
The explosions engulfed Weasel as he was thrown to the ground. Weasel felt his vision go blurry. He tried to walk but was stopped from all the pain in his ribs and his legs. Weasel heard himself breathing heavily as he got up and limped to the park ahead of him. He heard screams and a kid crying for help. He looked around looking for the kid. Weasel turned his head and saw another building fifty yards away collapse. The cry for help died away. Weasel continued limping through the park but fell on a pile of rubble. With the last of his strength he looked around the area. The entire area his squad was to protect was destroyed completely engulfed in flames. He felt angry that he failed to protect this part of the village, but was sad knowing his entire squad excluding Hawk who was badly injured and himself were dead. Weasel's head fell to the ground, his eyes watching Kyuubi moving deeper into the village.
"I failed…" Weasel thought, as he lost consciousness.
About three hours had passed since the Kyuubi entered the village. Minato had tried everything and every jutsu he learned on the demon but to no avail.
"Damn-it, I don't have a choice." Minato muttered. "Goddamn-it! Gamabunta get us to my office quickly! I need to use that jutsu!"
Gamabunta leaped into the air and landed at the Hokage's office. Minato stepped off Gamabunta and entered through the window to see Jiraiya and Sarutobi waiting for him. Minato looked up at them.
"I tried everything, sensei… " Minato croaked.
Jiraiya frowned at Minato. Before him stood the most powerful Hokage since Sarutobi, utterly defeated and broken. He looked like he went through hell and back. His clothes were torn, he was bleeding all over his body, and he was barely standing. Jiraiya glanced at Sarutobi as he was holding Naruto. Sarutobi sighed and looked down at the child in his arms sadly.
"Minato, I'll be sure to take care of Naruto in the future," said Sarutobi handing Naruto to Minato.
Naruto had a seal drawn on his stomach to where the Kyuubi would be trapped. Minato nodded and jumped onto Gamabunta.
"Alright, Gamabunta, lets finish this!" Minato said newfound determination.
"Right!" Gamabunta replied.
Gamabunta landed in front of the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi looked at Minato with its evil eyes and saw it grin malevolently. He glared back at the demon that had leveled his village to the ground with hate.
"Back for more?" asked Kyuubi.
"This is where your killing spree ends you son of a bitch!" Minato sneered with venom.
"Such anger is building inside of you. What's it saying you worthless mortal?"
Minato glared at the Kyuubi with all his rage.
"It's telling me to do this!" Minato shouted.
Minato gently set Naruto down on Gamabunta's head and placed his hands together. He felt the power of his jutsu flowing in his body. Suddenly a pale arm shot out of his stomach and gripped Kyuubi around its neck. Kyuubi's eyes narrowed dangerously and it tried to break free of the grip. It glared at the Yondaime but it noticed something towering behind him as well. Kyuubi's eyes displayed fear as it saw the Shinigami itself behind the Yondaime.
"What are you doing?" Kyuubi roared.
"Shiki Fuujin!" Minato yelled.
The Shinigami's arm began to lift Kyuubi into the air. Kyuubi started to thrash around violently, desperate to break free. Its body was being sucked towards Naruto turning into pure chakra as it entered him. Kyuubi gave a loud roar of anger and glared with absolute hate at Minato.
"You think you've won? You may have stopped me from destroying the rest of the village. But I'm going to enjoy making you son's life a living hell! I can't wait until you have to watch you son suffer from hell! And when the time comes, I'll use him to destroy the rest of this god forsaken place!" Kyuubi yelled as it was finally sealed inside Naruto.
"I wish you'd shut your piehole but we don't always get what we want." Minato coughed.
Minato looked over his son who was now sleeping peacefully. He looked up and his eyes scanned the village. It was completely destroyed apart from the Hokage's Tower and Monument. Fires and cries of wounded shinobi filled the night. Tears began to fall from Minato's eyes. Two soft thumps came as Jiraiya and Sarutobi appeared on top of Gamabunta. Minato turned to them and they looked at him with sadness.
"You did it, Minato," Jiraiya said as he squatted down by his student.
Minato nodded and felt his body growing weak. He hacked up more blood and fell forward. His eyes went back to Naruto who was still sleeping. Using all the strength he could, he pulled himself inch by inch over to his son. He looked down at Naruto and gave a sad smile.
"I'm sorry, Naruto. It looks like I won't be able to watch you grow up to be Hokage. But your mother and are always watching you… never forget that. I love you, son." Minato kissed Naruto's head.
Minato's heart felt like it was being squeezed and he coughed again. He rolled over on his back and placed his hand under Naruto's. His vision was slowly went dark and his heart finally stopped. The Yondaime Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was dead.
