It was overwhelming. Everywhere he looked there was death and destruction. The smell of the area, where usually it smelled of the surrounding forest now smelled of fire and death. The once beautiful trees that surrounded his home now were crimson, bathed in the blood of hundreds that served him, bought him time to find a way to defeat that which many believed to be unbeatable.

The Kyuubi no Kitsune. Minato couldn't help but be mesmerized by the sight of the fox. Bigger than Gamabunta whom he was currently atop of. Its Fur looked to be unmarred and pristine, regardless of the attacks that were hitting it. But that wasn't what truly caught his attention. What stood out the most to him were the eyes.

Mirth.

The fox was enjoying itself! Killing has friends and comrades and it was enjoying itself!

While he had been heading out on Gamabunta to hopefully seal the fox into his child, he knew he was angry. Why shouldn't he? His home that he had fought in a war for and led, his home that he loved was about to be destroyed. Not by an enemy village. But by a mangy animal!

Sure. He thought. Supposedly the biggest and most badass of giant mangy animals.

But that was when he thought the fox was merely on a rampage. The bijuu were supposed to be simply giant animals. Unlimited power aside, none of the stories involving the bijuu ever had them showing emotion. Except for the ichibi, Minato assumed that was because of the mad priest sealed along with it.

But after seeing the giant being in front of him, he couldn't help but become pissed off. This only made his resolve to seal the fox inside a human all the stronger. All the pain and suffering the village was currently experiencing and going to experience for some time while mourning simply because the fox thought it was fun! This was why he was going to seal the fox. To make it suffer, and what better way then to be trapped inside the body of the creatures it was killing.

"Let's go Gamabunta!" Minato yelled.

"I wonder what kind of accessories I can make from fox hide I can give to the missus?"

When Gamabunta landed in front of the fox the shinobi of the village had already retreated to a safe distance having received orders to simply hold the fox off until the Hokage arrived, then they were to retreat to the village and wait for the hokage to, hopefully, defeat the Kyuubi.

Minato started to do the handseals necessary to perform the shiki fuin while Gamabunta was thrown onto the defensive by blocking a tail swipe from the Kyuubi. Right after the tail began to return did he try to retaliate. "Suiton: Tepoudama!" Launching the attack against the Kyuubi Gamabunta watched as the fox unleashed its chakra to create a shield in front of the water balls preventing them from connecting.

When the shield dropped the Kyuubi smirked before launching its own attack. "This is what that should look like frog! Suiton: Teppoudama!" after saying those words the attack that Gamabunta had used was thrown back at him, but the difference of the attack strength was clear. The kyuubi's were at least twice as large as the orbs of water Gamabunta had used, and they were traveling a lot faster than his did as well.

Using all the agility he had the toad boss did all he could to avoid the water attacks as well as the tail wipes the Kyuubi was launching at him, all the while trying to keep Minato safe while he performed the jutsu. "Hurry up Minato, not all of us are granted the protection of a giant toad in battle!"

"finished! Fuin jutsu: Shiki Fuin!"

The results were instantaneous to Minato. When he looked up after finishing the handseals he saw that time seemed to have frozen. Shit! I try to create a way to defeat the fox, and all I do is stop time!

"Not quite human."

Startled, Minato looked up to where the voice originated from. If he was honest with himself he would have to tell you that he was not expecting what he saw. Instead of a scythe, the shinigami had a small knife between his jaws. Instead of a black cloak it wore a white kimono. Where a smiling skeleton head should have been was a horned demon with black eyes with yellow piercing pupils and long spiky white hair going in every direction.

Minato would have probably chuckled had he been in a different situation.

"If you are finished daydreaming, what is it you summoned me for human?" the shinigami asked breaking Minato from his thoughts. "Great shinigami, I ask that you take the Kyuubi no kitsune and seal it within the body of my child." He said while pointing at the great fox which was seemingly frozen in what appeared to be a mid roar stance.

"hm hm hm. You are an interesting one, human." The shinigami said whist chuckling at the situation. "What you ask is doable, but to summon me would usually require a large amount of time passing through bureaucratic red tape to get permission. Yet here I am. You must have done something quite ingenious to circumvent all of that stuff and get straight to summoning me. Very well, I suggest you keep the method you used to summon me a secret, there are many beings that would love to avoid the legal system altogether and we can't be having that. If I suffer, so does everyone else." After saying that he began the process of reaching into the Kyuubi and taking its spirit and sending it into the seal in the child. After making sure it was where it was supposed to go, it began taking the soul out of the Yondaime.

While this was going on Minato saw that time seemed to be returning to normal. He saw that the body of the Kyuubi was slowly dissolving into nothingness. As he was watching this he felt his spirit leaving and couldn't help but notice something he had missed in the entire battle.

Wait a sec! Where's its ...

(Scene change)

He was bored. He couldn't deny it. He had nothing to do. No demons would attack him… well… sure, there were a few overlords after him, as well as a few demon lords looking to defeat him to enlist his services. But he didn't want to serve anybody, and besides, most that came after him were too powerful for him to beat. He'd launch one of his attacks and they wouldn't take any damage from it. Sure he could train. But he could never stay in one place long enough to get any worthwhile training done. The last netherworld he was in he was in for about three days before some bratty looking girl with prinnies claiming to be some kind of beauty queen showed up trying to get him to serve her. He managed to fight her to draw and get away. He could have finished but those damn prinnies had gotten in the way and given her time to recover.

Now he was hiding out in a no name town simply trying to keep a low profile, even going so far as to cover himself in big cloak that hid all of his features and speaking in a high squeaky voice that anyone would recognize as not being his, trying to think of what he should do to solve his problems. First off, how to hide his power from those looking for him. Reincarnating and starting from scratch was probably the best bet he had in that regard. Then he would have to find a world where he could retrain himself and not have to worry about anyone sensing him.

Thinking back on his last encounter he seriously thought about the prinny squad that was following the girl. If only I had gone with the others I wouldn't be in this mess. They're off having who knows how much fun while I'm running from a bunch of damn demons that want my head. It had been many years ago after his comrades had gone their own way that he realized that he wasn't as strong as he thought. When he was with his friends, they could beat most opponents that came their way easily, even overlords fell before them. But when they left, he found that the only reason they won was because they would gang up on the demon they were fighting. Alone, he could give a decent fight, but he found himself retreating more often than not. He found himself listening in on the conversation that had started up next to him.

"Hey, didja here?" "Nnooo, what?" "The Kyuubi no kitsune was defeated in combat by a human." "Yeah right, like one of the leaders of the high demon lords would be defeated by a human." "But it's true, apparently it happened some years ago in some backwater world no ever goes to since there isn't a netherworld there." "Hah! Then why hasn't anybody gone there yet to recruit the guy yet if it's true?" "Like I said, the place is a backwater world. There's nothing there worth any real value. Besides the human died right after the fight from what I hear and apparently it was a fluke at that."

What! Kyuubi lost a fight? What about the others, weren't they all together?

He got up from his table and made his way over to the two having the conversation. "Excuse me, but you wouldn't happen to know the name of the world the Kyuubi died d" you?" he asked the first speaker. "Huh? Oh interested in it are you? Well can't blame you. The name of the place is Konohagakure in the Elemental Countries." "I see, thank you." With that he turned towards the door and left the building. Well now I know where to go. Probably should get a few vassals while I'm here before I go.

Making his way through the town he eventually found the secretary for the dark assembly of the netherworld. "Hello. Welcome to the dark assembly. How can I help you today sir?" "I would like to create some vassals and reincarnate myself." "Very well sir. What vassals would you like?" hmmm. Hadn't thought of what type of vassals I want. Start small now and work my way up later. "Just a couple of prinnies for now." A short while later three prinnies stood in front of him awaiting their first orders. "Names?" The first prinny stepped forward. "Bianca, dood" The middle prinny stood forward "Train, dood" and finally the third prinny stepped forward "my name is Minato, dood"

They were currently standing in front of the dimensional gate keeper. "we're going to Konohagakure in the elemental countries." As he said where they were going he noticed that Minato looked shocked before schooling his face into its earlier apathetic look. I wonder what that was all about. I'll ask him later. "Very well sir. Please brace yourself." "Um, excuse me, dood." "hmm, yes uh… Train was it?" "yes dood. Um, well I was just wondering what your name was master, dood" "Oh, didn't I tell you?" "no, you didn't, dood" as the light began to envelope them signifying that the gatekeeper was beginning to send the to their destination he told them his name.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, former leader of the high demon lords"
