Prologue

The strongest of the Nine Buju, the Kyuubi no Kitsune was attacking the strongest of the five hidden villages, Konoha. Destruction and choas was in the mist as the shinobi stood their ground to protect their home while the civillians were escort to the safe houses. As they began their attacks, they heard cheering and saw their beloved leader, Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, had finally joined the battle as he stood on top of one of the strongest summons, the Toads. In his hands were two blonde children which he held closely. Minato looked around and could only wince as he remembered how this had happened.

Kushina Namikaze, his wife, who was also secretly the jailer of the Kyuubi no Kitsune had given birth to quadtriplets, two boys and two girls. A blonde boy and girl and a red headed girl and boy. They had named the blondes, Naruto Namikaze and Hikari Namikaze while the red heads were named Minami Namikaze and Arashi Namikaze. Both parents were both over joyed but that joy was short lived as a masked man had broken into the hospital room kidnapping Kushina and then ripping the Kyuubi out of her. Minato had arrived when the extraction was complete and had rushed her to the hospital, to which Tsuande said she would live, much to his relief. He had immediately left for the battlefield, only to realize that all his attacks were completely useless and that there was only one way that they could defeat the Kyuubi.

To seal it in a newborn child.

Now, Minato was an honorable man and so he couldn't ask another family to give up their child if he couldn't give up his own so he decided to seal it into one of his children. Kushina, who had woken up for even if her life wasn't in danger anymore was too stubborn to just rest, had told him that he should split the Kyuubi's chakra, since all of it would be dangerous for one child. Though she was against her children having the burden, he had reassured her that they were going to be treated as heroes and nothing less. After much debating, Kushina had finally gave in and he went to pick two of his children. At the time though, Tsunade was examining their health and had already finished checking Hikari and Naruto and so he took them both and went to the battlefield.

Which was where he was now.

Minato looked at both their children, who weren't even a hour old and yet they had to had a heavy burden placed on them. He was determined that the village would be safe and that they would treat him well after his passing. he knew that the only seal capable of holding the Kyuubi was the Shiki Fuin in which it requires the person's soul in exchange. He placed them both on the sealing chamber and going through the necessary hand seals, he exclaimed,

"Shiki Fuin!"

The Shinigami had appeared and looked down at him.

"Shinigami-sama, I need you to seal the Kyuubis Yin and Yang halves into my children. I will give up my soul as the prize." he said. The Shinigami just looked at him and said,

"I will do it, but I will not take your soul." and for a moment Minato had a flutter of hope. He got a chance to live with his family!?

"T-Thank yo-"

"Instead, I'll be taking something far more precious to you." he grinned and looked at the two blonde bundles, much to the Yondaime's horror.

"Yes you will leave without these two children!" he laughed manically as he finished the sealing.

"No! Please don't take them! I'll give you my soul, isn't that the agreement!?" he exclaimed, desperately trying to make the Death God do anything but the thing he suggested.

"Stupid mortal, I can ask for anything and take it as I see fit." he huffed, "Besides, you have two more don't you?" and then there was a light and when it died down, the Shinigami was gone.

Gone with two of his four children.

The shinobi around were cheering that the Kyuubi was finally gone. Cheering that he had defeated the Kyuubi. But it came at a cost. A cost he wasn't willing to exchange.

"Minato? You're alive? I though you used the Shiki Fuin seal." Jiraiya exclaimed, running up to his student, with his own sensei behind him and the shinobi there that was there to congratulate him. Minato didn't say anything as he stared at the spot is children were, fighting the tears that threatened to fall.

"Minato? Are you alright? And where are the children?" Hiruzen asked, the excitement was quieted down when they heard that the Yondaime was planning to use his children for something.

"What do you mean?" a random shinobi asked.

"The Kyuubi can't be killed. It can only be contained. Minato was planning to seal the two halves into his children, though I'm not so sure what happened. The seal was design to take the users soul as a contract," Jiraiya said, looking at his student as the other shinobi whispered and looked at the blonde with respect.

"My boy, what happened? Why didn't the Shinigami take your soul." Hiruzen asked.

"He said he could take whatever he wanted," he whispered, not moving an inch, "so he took them. He took my children." he whispered, earning a gasp from the surrounding people. Hiruzen and Jiraiya looked at him with pity and they all just stood there. One by one the shinobi left until it was just the three of them.

"Minato...we have to get going. Kushina was worried. She'd over thrilled that your alive." Jiraiya said, trying to brighten him up.

"No, she'd get angry at what I did." he said, but none the less he stood up. He was the Hokage and people need his help. "Let's get going." he said and they turned back to the village that was half in ruins. Then Hiruzen said a thought out loud that made them all wonder

"You know I wonder where he took them to?"

The Shinigami held the two bundles of blondes in his arms. He didn't know where he should place the children. It wasn't that he was a horrible deity for taking away the children from their family, it just people believe in self sacrifice too much. It was pretty lame really.

"I would have never though I'd see the day where you held a child, dear brother." he heard a voice and new it was his sister, Fate.

"Hello there sister. I took them from Minato Namikaze for payment for sealing the Kyuubi inside of them." he replied.

"Why not his soul?" she raised her eyebrow, since he always did like taking people's souls.

"Naw, that got boring. I need to place these with someone. I want them to have completely different lives them what they were suppose to have. The humans rely of the power of jinchuriki. They're meant to be weapons for war. I don't want these two to live in that kind of environment." he said and she nodded.

"A jinchuriki that was raised for war. That sounds interesting. Why don't I help you on this experiment." she smirked.

"Oh? And what do you have in mind?" he asked. He didn't mind if his sister was helping. They made the best plans.

Except that time when she got mad at him and made sure Madara didn't die after his fight with Hashirama. He still didn't have his death defying soul.

"Well, the shinobi nation is just a small part of the entire world. They're isolated from everyone else." she said.

"And?" he motioned her to continue, though she had an idea of what she was going to say. Planning things together did that to someone.

"Well, we both know that pirates and shinobi don't really like one another, so why not make these pirates, or related to some pirate?" she grinned and is eyes lit up in anticipation.

"Really!? That's a great idea!" he exclaimed.

"I know!" she squealed, "And I have the perfect candidate!" she said and pulled a file. "I've got some lives already arranged, though I could make a few tweaks," she said. She handed the file to her brother.

"Monkey D. Luffy? He's the grandson of a Marine who becomes a pirate!? You haven't lost your touch sister." he hollered in laughter.

"I know! In his younger days, he becomes sworn siblings with a son of a noble and the Pirate King's son. I was originally going to have the blonde noble separate from them and lose his memories and then have him remember...only for it to happen when the Pirate King's son is dead-"

"That's evil." the Shinigami shook his head.

"I know. So I'll make it so that he doesn't get hit and all but I have to find a way for them to get him back." she said.

"So what should I do with the the children since their going to be apart of that sworn family?" he asked.

"I was thinking just hand them over to Grap. Luffy is the same age as them so it'll work out in the end." Fate shrugged and then began tapping her chin, "The question is, they have chakra, are they going to learn how to use it?"

"I was thinking the same thing. Then it got me thinking. Why don't we just give them all the knowledge! Of course they'll each have something different their great in." he said.

"So what? They'll mysteriously just know?" she asked with suspicion.

"Yup!" he grinned, "Since the girl, Hikari I believe was given the Yin half, she'll have more Yin based techniques. So I'll give her knowledge on sealing, genjutsu and medical ninjutsu. As for Naruto, the boy, he has the Yang half, so he'll know Kenjutsu, ninjutsu and taijutsu. They'll both know the taijustu that the other three will learn, but he'll be better than her." he said mentally patting himself for his ingenious.

"You have this figured out don't you?" she smiled, "And whatever the other doesn't know, they'll teach them. Its perfect!"

"Alright you too. Its time to visit Garp!" he said and was about to go when his sister stopped him.

"What will there last name be? Namikaze would be known immediately." she said. The Shinigami though a bit and then smirked.

"Uzumaki. They'll be known as Uzumaki D. Hikari and Uzumaki D. Naruto." he said, making her frown.

"'D.'? Don't they say that they're the natural enemies of Gods, namely us?" she said, not seeing the reason why her brother would call them such.

"The Uzumaki have the secret name as well. It was just lost in time. And for the 'natural enemies' part? That's what they mean towards the Celestial Dragons. They think they're above humans remember? Stupid mortals could never be above us." he huffed and then left, leaving his sister giggling at him behind.

Fate just looked at her sphere crystal ball and saw the five images of the five children there and she knew it there.

That is was there fate to bring a storm to the world.

She should know after all.

So, this is the prologue. I've had this story written for sometime and just remembered it. I've written a lot of it already, but I'm still not sure if I should making it a long story or not. I've just got this sudden passion for crossovers between Naruto and One piece. Hope you enjoy!
