A/N: What is up guys, hope y'all having a good break. sorry for the delay, actually just finished summer school today. Anyway, I realize that I have been inactive as hell and my story telling is not too. For this, I will be editing my chapters, and hopefully trying to get part 1 done by the end of the summer. Hope you guys like the revised intro, remember to review and criticize. Also looking for a beta reader.
What if…
What if, instead of all the things that happened in canon, or rather, in the anime, instead of Naruto, you move back a 1 or 2 decades- to the time where Minato Namikaze lived, and was the main protagonist of each movie yet, whether by fate, or by luck, every single time…
There was…
A Drop of Blood

The climax of the battle at Kannabi Bridge.
"I want you all to grab one of these kunai, and throw them into the air, on my signal!"
"Soldier, hurry up, and grab a kunai! We don't have all day!"
Sorry sir, it's just that I have some dust in my eye!"
"Well hurry up and get it out, if you don't and you blink, you'll miss him!"
"Wow sir, is he that fast?"
"Yes, after all, he is not known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha for nothing!"
And that was true, for the Yellow Flash of Konoha was preparing to attack, in the 3rd shinobi world war, helping to boost the morale of the Konoha nin as well, being as he had of status of 'Flee on Sight', and a hope of becoming the next Hokage. It was the climax of the 3rd shinobi world war, and, with Konoha losing against Iwa, the Legendary, Yellow Flash aka. Minato Namikaze was deployed, sent to this particular battle, which could be crucial in turning the war in favor of Konoha.
"Lookout!" a random Iwa cried as tri-pronged kunai descended on Iwa Nin as they started to push Konoha Back.
"It's the Yellow Flash!" Said another, who recognized the signature kunai of the Yellow Flash.
"Retreat!" Cried another. All of a sudden, an old and powerful voice suddenly commanded, "Stand your ground!"
Right as this was said, a figure crashed on to the earth and made a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, there stood the 3rd Tsuchikage, Oonoki the Fence Sitter. Staring heavily at Minato, the 2 commanders vanished, before reappearing later and starting a fight that would be told about generations later: The Fence Sitter, vs. the Yellow Flash. It was intense, with Minato using the Hiriashin no Jutsu, and Oonoki using his Particle release, a bloodline selection, even greater than a bloodline limit. The battle was pretty even, with Minato escaping Oonoki's Particle release through the Hiriashin, and Oonoki defending himself from being hit by a Rasengan from Minato by either flying or using the earth. This went on, until they both thought of using their remaining chakra to defeat the other. Oonoki used his Earth Release: Fist Rock Technique, while Minato used his Oodama Rasengan. When they reached, the rock fist clashed against the Rasengan, being drilled to pieces. Some of the shards went into both Oonoki's and Minato's faces giving a few small cuts. What happened next, no one realized: Some of Oonoki's blood and chakra spilled and went into Minato's cut, becoming a part of his body. This moment in history was lost in the time being, as everyone was focused on the clash between the 2 monumental figures of history. After the dust cleared, it revealed Minato victorious, Oonoki having a wound near his back, and fainted. Minato was about to finish him, but was stopped by a few thousand kunai with explosive tags raining down from reinforcements. It was more of a tactical retreat as the Iwa Nin knew they had lost, and when they were so close to winning. They though that they would still be able to make a comeback, but they were wrong. The event, the Battle at Kannabi Bridge, allowed Konoha to win the war, and Minato Namikaze, would go on to become the Yellow Flash. But before he died, a few years later, there were still a few things that needed to be done.

And on his adventures went.
He faced Mui and Muku, conquering his fear and developing his Raiton: Oodama Rasengan. After his battle with the lord of Hozuki Castle, he refined his seals, eventually surpassing his redeemed foe. Unknown to him, he had unknowingly caught the blood of both opponents. Though he could have mastered his seals even more, he did not know, until death came and showed him all that was hidden in life.
He took on Hiruko, an ex-friend of his sensei. As powerful as he was, and as cheesy as it sounds, when he revealed his intention to take Kushina as his last bloodline, hell was torn open. Through unconscious use of both kekkai genkai, a new weapon was made for Minato- one that completely decimated Hiruko. In the aftermath, in a rush to help Kushina, Minato did not see his foe getting back up- to silently swear revenge on Minato. Unfortunately, in his rage, his mind wiped out the details of the fight and with them, sealed his weapon away until death. Had this not happened then a few years later, on the night the Kyuubi attack, things might have gone differently. If only. However, through the unknowing accumulation of such bloodlines, these were passed down to his son, though he would never know in his first life, and his son wouldn't find out till later…

On the night of the attack however, October 10th, things went…. Differently to say the least. Knowing he was going to die, Minato secretly summoned a couple of figures, some imposing, others as tall as children. He had travelled through many areas and had foreseen great talent and hope for redemption in the few he had gathered. Kushina had unfortunately already embraced death, so she never did find out. As Naruto was being sealed however, Minato called for 2 figures of the many to come close. Clearly one of the eldest, older than even Minato, and on deaths door as well, he sealed their souls and they possessions into his newborn son, putting all 3 older souls in stasis until they were needed. He regretted not having enough time to prepare for a battle. Had it been even 1 day later, he would have survived. As he finally died, the chakra gates started to unconsciously unlock. The seventh gate unlocked and just as chakra was going to the 8thgate, the Shinigami ripped Minato's soul out along with his chakra, but not before the eight gate opened for a half a second. In that time, a pressure exceeding even that of the Kyuubi leveled itself on Konoha, then… silence.
