A/N
So I've been reading 'New chance' by Hektols. I love this story very much, recommending it for all readers who like Naruto stories. I was actually inspired by this to write my other story, 'The deadlast of the future'. I've decided to take up Hektols' challenge, the Lost hero.
So, be patient with me, I have not stopped writing my other story either, update intervals will still be variated, by I try once a month, or a bomb update.
I am apologizing ahead for a most certain number of grammatical mistakes, I am not an english native speaker, my autocorrect is not working, so please try to avoid hanging up on such detail to certain extents, but please tell me if I absolutely suck if that is a need for you.
The roars could be heard in every corner of the village hidden in leaves, Konoha. Nine tails swung violently above the houses. A blonde man, dressed in a normal jonin outfit, a white cloak with kanji adoring the back, saying in a red colour, the fourt hokage.
The man was cradling a child in his arms, a little blonde haired boy with whisker marks on his cheeks. The older blonde looked at the nine tailed fox with utter determination and hints of fair across his face. He looked at the child. "It will be alright Naruto. I know you can do it."
He summoned an alter which he carefully laid the child upon. A redheaded woman, who you could clearly see the exhaustion on, came up behind him. "Minato! You don't have to burden him with this! Seal the fox back into me, and I will take him with me to my death!" She said wearily, though the emotions were not betraying her.
"Kushina, if you die the fox will eventually break free in a couple of years. I am confident that Naruto will be able to carry the fox long enough until he is old, where a new jinchuuriki can take his place, like you did for Mito-sama." Minato said as he looked at his wife.
"Why do we have to burden him with this?! For the good of the village? Balance between the nations? Why do our son have to be a victim to such beliefs?!" Kushina exclaimed. "He is our son, I believe he will manage to harness the Kyuubi's power and change the shinobi world. I believe he can change the shinobi world like Jiraiya-sensei believes." Minato said softly. Tears were flowing freely from the couple's eyes.
"But the seal you're going to use will kill you. Naruto will be an orphan, you know what hatred the jinchuurikis has to face!" Kushina argued. Minato smiled at her. "I believe, no I know, that Naruto will be able to overcome the hatred and become the greatest shinobi there is." Minato replied.
He turned towards the fox. Kushina gasped, and before Minato managed to turn around, a chop to his neck knocked him out. He could faintly hear Kushina mutter "Sandaime-sama!".

Minato woke up in the hospital. He sat up carefully as he took in his surroundings. "Kushina? Naruto!" He shouted as he remembered what had happened. An anbu came before him. "Hokage-sama, your wife and child are fine, your child is in the child section of the hospital, with nurses running the usual check-ups, your wife is in the intense care unit. She lost a lot of blood after the Kyuubi escaped from her." The masked ninja said. Minato nodded and the other man left.
Minato grabbed his clothes which were neatly folded next to his bed. He wearily stepped out from his hospital room and made his way to the ICU, regardless of his passing nurses calls to go back. The white hospital walls made him slightly confused, but he soon found his way to Kushina's location. He met with Jiraiya who was outside.
"Minato! Your awake, good." The older man said. Minato looked at his sensei with a smile, though it turned into worry a second after. "How is she?" He asked softly. Jiraiya smiled at him. "It was a close call, she nearly had no chakra left, we thought it was a lost call, but the Uzumaki healing factor never cease to amaze me. She started to recover after we fed her with some soldier and blood replenishing pills."Jiraiya replied with a smile. Minato's shoulders relaxed visibly.
"Sensei sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto in your place."Jiraiya said. Minato's eyes widened. "What?" He asked surprised. "He figured out your plan and arrived just before you started the hand signs, he was the one that knocked you out."Jiraiya explained as he sat down on a bench.
Minato looked at the floor. "I see." He said. "Well, now that we know your wife is okay, who don't we go up and see your boy?"Jiraiya said to change the mood. Minato's eyes brightened instantly. "Naruto..." He said with a smile. "I will be able to watch him grow up, see him take his steps, see him say his first word!" Minato said, utter joy in his voice.
The two men headed up to the children's section. Minato's eyes scanned over the small beds that were used for infants. He looked over the children there several times.
"Where is he?" Minato asked. A worried expression climbed his face. "Where?" He said and started to run down the hall to where the nurses were taking the check-ups. He slammed the door opened and found several nurses knocked out on the floor. His eyes widened in alarm as he looked around for any tracks. "Sensei! Call all ninjas to my office! Naruto's gone!" Minato said as he flashed to his office and rang the alarm which would tell the chuunins at the gate to close the wooden doors into the village.
Minutes later the uninjured ninjas was gathered before Minato. "As you all know, I had been given a son last night, to save the village the Sandaime sealed the kyuubi into him and made him a is in my interest to hail my son as a hero for saving the village, but someone has kidnapped him, I want all ninjas to search inside and outside the village. Find him and bring him home!" Minato shouted. The ninja all nodded and saluted him before using the body flicker technique to scatter. Minato sat down in his chair. He closed his eyes as tears streamed down his face.
"Naruto..."

This is a short chapter, but it is fully intentional. It is more of a prologue to the story.
