Chapter 1 The Start Of All Things To Come
October 10thKonohagakure
Minato Namikaze stood inside his office, his hands held onto the sides of his face. He knew what he had to do and hoped his wife would forgive him for it.
The Kyuubi no Kitsune, the nine tailed demon fox itself was upon the village hidden in the leaves.
He had sent his best ninja to hold back the fox so he had time to prepare for what he had to do, the beast could not be defeated by any normal means, so with a heavy heart he picked up a scroll containing his greatest creation and vanished in a flash of yellow towards the hospital.
He arrived instantly in the room to pick up his child, he expected to see his wife and child waiting with happy smiles on their faces... Something was wrong.
In the room was Tsunade Senju, his sensi's team mate and supposedly the best medic in the elemental nations sat next to a bed crying, her young apprentice Shizune had he arm on her masters shoulder comforting her.
The bed she sat next to had a white sheet over it, Minato could see that there was something under that sheet, he had seen too many battlefields and medic tents during that time, he could hear a voice in the back of his mind telling him something he didn't want to hear.
Minato could feel a gut wrenching terror begin to build up in his stomach, not even the Kyuubi No Kitsune in all it's glory could make the man feel like this. His gaze traveled to Tsunade who looked into his perfect azure blue eyes with her own light brown eyes filled with emotions sadness, pain, helpless and most of all guilt. He couldn't look away, he needed answers.
"What happened." he asked in a stern but shaky voice.
Tsunade looked ashamed of herself and whispered back in a panicked sad tone, tears slowly sliding down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I couldn't save her. The pain showed on her face, the best medic in all the lands, Tsunade Senju a member of the legendary Sannin could not save the woman she called friend, and now before her was her husband wanting to know what happened.
"T-there was nothing I could do, I'm sorry. S-she died shortly after childbirth"
Minato felt his world begin to crumble at those words, his wife Kushina was gone, he didn't know what to say. He stood there for what seemed like eternity, his eyes still locked into Tsunade's.
Suddenly a load deafening roar could be heard that shook the building, his eyes suddenly turned to the window. His mind back on track.
"It's almost here" he stated to himself. He looked back to Tsunade, his eyes now showed determination.
"My child?" He asked.
Tsunade didn't move, she pointed to the next bed hidden by a curtain.
Minato walked up to the curtain and pulled it back, his stern gaze and saddened face took on a softer more happy look, his eyes showed pride and joy and most of all surprise.
His hand fell towards the scroll with a special seal he had made for this moment, lightly tapping it.
His mind raced with new ideas after seeing what was behind the curtain, "would this work? I could do it? It would be safer in the end, right?"
he continued tapping the scroll, his face turned to smile "Genius!"
He sat down and pulled out his scroll, making changes to it with a smile on his face, he pulled out a blank scroll to write his last letter to his predecessor and mentor .
Tucking it into his pocket he reached out and picked up the blanket holding his pride and joy
turned around and said to the room "don't mention to anyone what happened here today" and vanished toward the battlefield leaving behind a stunned apprentice and a shaking Sannin.
"What's going on here?" Shizune asked Tsunade who just slumped into the back of the chair.
"I'm sorry" is all she said.
THE FRONT LINE
The whole field and forest was red with flame, shinobi where running left right and centre trying to fight back the beast with all they had, nothing was working the fox was still coming closer and closer and the ninja where desperate, the bodies piled up through the forest now red with blood and fire.
"Sarutobi-sama!" a young ninja with gravity defying hair and face mask shouted.
"Please let us defend the village with you!" he shouted.
Hiruzen Sarutobi the so called God of Shinobi the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha smiled to himself at this, he had kept the youngsters back to uphold the will of fire they displayed. He knew the beast was too strong for any of them to handle and their lives would be forfeit if they went anywhere near the fox.
He was about to reply but a loud crashing sound came about 100ft away from him, it was Gamabunta the Toad boss, he could see his successor the Yondaime Hokage stood upon his head. And was shouting out his orders.
"Everyone get back! I will stop the fox!" needless to say everyone complied with those orders, the Yondaime was their hero, the Kiiroi Senk? he was called "Yellow Flash of the Leaf" who was a genius. They placed their fate in his hands and would do anything he said without question.
Everyone watched as the toad jumped toward the fox, and pushed the fox away from the remaining shinobi and out of sight. The battle raged for 5 minutes between the two, the rest of the ninja could hear the clash of the two and the sound of the foxes roars loud enough to push some over onto the ground.
Suddenly the air around them grew cold and lifeless, people felt as if death himself had showed up (Little did they know that's exactly what happened) and the foul chakra of the fox was still in the air making some people fall to their knees under pressure of the two forces, each feeling as if either way you would die just being close enough to them.
As suddenly as the deathly aura came it vanished much to the relief of the ninja ranks, but more surprised was that the foul Kyuubi chakra vanished also.
Cheers went up amongst the ranks, cheers of joy and relief and praises for the Yondaime.
"He did it! He really did it! Sensei defeated the fox!came the cry of a certain silver/grey haired one eyed ninja standing next to Sarutobi.
Sarutobi himself was overjoyed that the fox could no longer be felt, but inside he started to worry, he could also not feel Minato's aura anywhere, looking to his left he looked at a young
Hatake Kakashi, student of Minato Namikaze.
He could see a small frown develop on his face even with his mask on and his Hitai-ate covering one of his eyes, he could tell the boy knew something was wrong also, so he decided to let him follow him to where Minato and the fox was last seen.
"Stay back everyone, I will check out what has happened" he said to his men as he darted off towards where he was last seen with the young Kakashi by his side.
He came upon an empty clearing with two massive marks in the ground from where the giant toad boss summon once stood, ahead of them lay a white blanket bundled up on the ground and the sound of crying coming from it.
As he came closer he couldn't believe his eyes at what he could see his words failed him and he stood like a stone, eyes looked into the white blanket and what was inside it.
The Young Kakashi also looked inside, his face froze and his eye widened in surprise at what he was looking at.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was not just named the god of shinobi for nothing, he knew over a thousand jutsu's and ninja concepts from all around and some knowledge of seals. He knew instantly what had happened, he looked up at the sky and said.
"My god Minato... What have you done."
In the bundle of blankets laid two children, one male and one female, one had light blond wisps of hair and clear azure blue eyes and what looked like whisker marks, the next child had wisps of red hair and light brown goldish eyes and no making on the face at all, Hiruzen could tell what they where, a mini Minato and a mini Kushina, he smiled to himself at that.
Both of them shared one thing in common, a faintly glowing intricate seal on their stomach's.
Between the two children was a scroll addressed to Hiruzen himself, he picked it up and began to read.
Sarutobi,
I am sorry for placing this burden upon you, this was the only way I could stop the fox from destroying konoha.
I have sealed the fox into my two children, I planned on sealing the whole fox into my child but I was not expecting to have two children, Kushina wanted it to be a suprise.
We decided if it was a boy to name him Naruto after the character in Jiraiya 's first book to be published. If we had a girl Kushina decided on Naru, sadly Kushina passes away after birth and I will have to sacrifice my life to perform the sealing process.
Inside Naruto I have sealed most of the foxes power and it's mind and most of the Yang chakra.
Inside Naru I have managed to seal 1/3 of the foxes power and half of the Ying/Yang chakra to keep the balance of the seal stable. The rest I sealed within myself to be taken with me inside the Shinigami.
Without me or Kushina here to protect them this is all I could do to help them grow up strong, all I ask is that they be treated as the hero's they are! I leave the rest to you my old friend.
Minato NamikazeYondaime Hokage - Konohagakure no Sato
"Blast you Minato!." Sarutobi raged "They will never see them as hero's!" he looked down upon the two now sleeping children thinking of what to do next.
"No markings on the girl." He mused to himself as an idea came to him.
"Kakashi I want you to take the girl away from here and don't let ANYONE see you understand?." He asked/ordered the slightly confused Jounin.
"Why do you want me to do that!." Kakashi angrily replied.
"Listen Kakashi, I have lived a long time and I can understand how people's minds work." He sighed "They will never see these children as hero's, we cant tell people who their parents are because of their fathers enemies, They wouldn't even last till the end of the week!." He stated.
"The best we can do is split them up and tell the others the Kyuubi was sealed inside an orphan boy, that way I will be able to protect at least one of them." He looked down at the girl and sighed.
"Take the girl home with you for now, then tomorrow you can drop her off at the orphanage until we decide what to do after this mess has blown over."
Kakashi looked at the man in shock at what he just asked of him. "Can't she just stay with me? There is no way i'm going to just throw sensei's daughter in an Orphanage!." He replied with anger in his voice.
"I'm sorry Kakashi." Replied the Sandaime. "People saw you come with me here, if you suddenly decided to adopt a child just after the Kyuubi was sealed inside another child then people will grow suspicious of that, maybe in a few years you could adopt her or something but right now you need to take her and go before anyone comes over here!"
Kakashi picked up the little girl in his arms and took one last look at the sleeping Naruto and back to Sarutobi and sighed. "Fine, but I still don't like it." and vanished in a Shunshin.
Sarutobi picked up the young Naruto and sighed "Well lets get this over with then" he said as he saw men coming towards him.
This was going to be an even longer day.
Well that's all for this chapter, let me know how much I suck =/
