Chapter 1
I do not own Naruto...and never will. this is my only time to state this.
In the village of the leaf, life was not great. It had started out as any other day. Shop's were open,The park's were full of families playing,and all was calm...that was till the nine tail fox came crashing the party.
In a great puff of ninja smoke the fox appeared before the gate's of the leaf village,and started to attack anything and everything it could find to destroy. Ninja after ninja was being killed off , entire clan's being wiped out by trying to stop the force of nature to no avail. One clan that was wiped out belonged to the current Hokage, Arashi Namikaze.
The strongest and greatest ninja ever to live, he was a tall man with bright blond hair,bright blue eye's,and is wearing a white trench coat with red flames framing the bottom. He was currently holding an infant boy in his arms,staring at the little bundle in his arms who was crying at the top of his lung's.
He tries to console the baby. A single tear escape's the Hokage "I'm so...so sorry Naruto I wish I could find another way to do this,but I'm afraid this is the only way to stop the fox. I hope one day you can forgive me,if not...I will understand. Thank you for the sacrifice you are giving us. You are a true hero."
At that time the third Hokage and the fourth's jounin teammate Kakashi appeared in a puff of ninja smoke behind the fourth Hokage "Report." he say's while turning around to talk to the two ninja he trusted the most with his life, and the life of his newborn son.
The third Hokage steps up "It don't look like we can stop the fox. So many have died already... Including your entire clan. I'm so sorry my friend."
"NO! My clan will live on though Naruto..And I have a way to stop the fox once and for all." Kakashi got wide eyed "You can't use that. You'll die for sure." "I know kakashi-san. What I do...I do for the sake of the village. I do need a favor from you Kakashi I need you to keep an eye on Naruto when I'm gone."
At that time the fourth reached into is coat and pulled out a scroll and hand's it to Kakashi" This is to go to my son when he complete' s the academy." Kakashi took the scroll and took a deep breath. Then he looked to his once teacher and the man he thought of as a father figure ever since his own father took his own life. "O.K. Hokage-sama... I vow to watch over Naruto with my life. I will protect your legacy so your clan will continue to live...and thank you sir...for everything you have and will do."
A tear could be seen fall from the masked jounin' s face as he turned to leave in a puff of smoke. The fourth looked to the third "I need you to come out of retirement for a bit longer old man. I'm sorry." And with that the forth flash's away in a yellow burst of light. The third just looked at the spot his friend just left and he too disappeared in a puff of smoke.
At that time the fourth appeared on top of the Hokage tower and laid his son down and started to prepare his son for the jutsu that will stop the force of nature that was the nine tailed fox. He marks both Naruto and the ground around him. When he was done he looked one last time to his sleeping son. "For what I'm about to do I'm so sorry, but there is no other way. I love you son." And with that he turned away from his son and walked to the edge of the tower.
There he bit the tip of his thumb and preformed a series of hand sign's then slammed his hand on the ground and yell's "Summoning jutsu". At that time a great plum of smoke billowed at the base of the tower. When the smoke cleared a giant toad stood. "Arashi. Why have you summoned me?"
"The nine tailed fox is at the gate's of the leaf and I plan on stopping him with your help my friend." "Just tell me what you need and it's your's " the boss toad said. "I need you to stall the fox for me for a short time while I get my jutsu ready." "You got it friend. Let's kick some fox tail." And with that the great boss toad bounded away toward the nine tail fox.
At that time the fourth started a long and blinding fast set of hand sign's. On the last sign he slammed he clapped his hand's and screamed at the top of his lung's "Hakke no fujin shiki "Then the sky grew dark with the cloud's turning blood red and a bone chilling wind started to blow with a great gust. And all around the leaf village it was like time just stopped and stood still. Like the world just froze in place .
Then a figure descended from the dark cloud's. If you look at the figure...you just know when you see it... It meant you were dead.. Plain and simple. He was a tall looking man... per say. It was more bone and rotting flesh than man. It had a very old robe with a hood that hid the face of the god of death. And it reeked of death and despair. In it's boney hand was a sickle made of what looked of bones and a dark blood red blade.
It come's to a stop in front on the fourth and look's at him. "Why have you summoned me mortal."
" I wish to seal the nine tail fox into my son so I...no...so that my son will protect this village by holding back the nine tailed fox with this seal. I freely give my life for my village." The shinigami look's to Arashi then to the fox who was frozen at the time fighting bunta the boss toad. " Very well."
The death god turn's and look's to Naruto who was awake, but he wasn't crying. In fact he looked to the shinigami and gave it the biggest grin and cooed. The fourth saw this and had to smirk a bit at the boy. "I love you Naruto..Goodbye my son."
At that time the shinigami raised his blade and pointed it to the fourth and he just slumped to the . Then the shinigami seemed to float to the fox at a high rate of speed.
When he got there he saw the boss toad disappeared in a great puff of ninja smoke. The nine tail saw the shinigami and being that he was froze in place all he could do was to snarl at him. "What are you doing here"?
The death god look's to the fox "Your time in this realm has come to an end. You are to be sealed in an infant and your trail of terror end's here and now,but I was wondering something. Why are you attacking this village?"
The fox look's to the shinigami knowing his time on earth was up " I was summoned by a ninja who put me in a strange genjutsu that made me do his bidding. He made me attack this village,but enough of this...just do what you need to do, and get it over with." The shinigami look's at the fox, and get's an idea,and just smile's at him. "What is it? Why haven't you sealed me yet?" the fox said .
"I think I have an idea that may make everyone happy...how would you like to keep a bit of freedom in this realm?" To say the least the fox was a bit taken by this. "Go on. I'm listening" The shinigami turns "I am going to split your chakra into its ying and yang form. The ying will go to the fourth's son...and your yang form will go to another newborn. With your freedom come's at a price."
At that time the fox lift's an eyebrow. "Go on."
"Each newborn will get to sign the fox contract and split unrestricted access to your chakra and healing powers. Also. Any children they have will have the same as a new bloodline."
The fox looks to the shinigami and just nod's "So be it. I shall follow the rule's of summoner's for these kit's. And who knows... This might just be fun,but... who is the other newborn you wish to use?"
The death god looked to the fox "Not your concern. That is for me to decide. Now. It its your time to go." The shinigami lift's his arm and the nine tailed fox poofed in a giant cloud of smoke. With that done the death god float's to a spot on the edge of the village and find's what he is looking for.
In front of him was a damaged building. It appeared to be a flower shop. Inside he found a bleeding mother holding an infant in her arm's under some debris.
With time still froze he point's his staff to the infant and a seal forms on her little belly unseen to her mother. After he was done, he went to the door and floated back to the sky and time seemed to start again. Everyone unaware of the deal that has just took place.
Elsewhere the third Hokage and Kakashi land on the roof of the Hokage tower to a scene they will never forget. On the floor was the body of the forth Hokage and a few meter's away was Naruto laying with kanji all over the ground.
The third head's to the forth while Kakashi pick's up Naruto and head's back to the hokage's. When he get's there he find's the third closing the fourth's eyelid's. "I assume you will be back in charge hokage-sama?" "Yes. I will be resuming my duty's as Hokage" " In that case I wish to have Naruto left to my care. I have a promises to keep to my master. I will take charge of his care and training. Please hokage-sama, don't take him from me sir."
The third stood there for a few moment's and looked to kakashi's lone eye " I think that will be a great idea. I want you to move into the Namikaze compound with Naruto. You will have access to the Namikaze accounts for the care of the boy. I just hope you know what your getting into here Kakashi. If you need any help you let me know as soon as you can. Now. We have a village to get back in order. Take the boy home and get settled in. Come and see me in the morning and ill get the paperwork in order for adoption and power of attorney over the Namikaze clan. Go get some rest...You'll need it." "yes hokage-sama."
And with that Kakashi jumped toward the Namikaze clan compound. The third just watched Kakashi leave and thought to himself " Good luck Kakashi. Your going need it. Hehehe." And with that the third grabs the forth and take's him to the morgue in the hospital.
