I Don't own anything!
sorry if slight occYondaime, but really what where his thoughts from the other side?
Minato was furious. No-more like livid. Here in the Shinigami's stomach he was able to watch as his village, the one he fucking died for, mistreated his only son. Did no one honor his last wish? Seems that they can't get their head out of their ass for a second to realize that a BABY can in no way attack and destroy a village like the Kyuubi can.
He want to facepalm, really he did, when the Sandaime announced his son's status as the container of the nine tails. Really? Death threats and demands on a baby? Laws to not tell the younger generation? (That time he really did facepalm, because honestly a child can always emulate their parents attitude.) Not for the first time did he doubt his request, but even if he didn't request for Naruto to be seen as a hero someone (most likely Danzo and his "friends" ) would have found out and spread the news in their own twisted interpretation.
Minato mused that if he had more time as the Yondaime he would have found a way to get the civilian council and advisor less power until they were no longer in his hair. Honestly why did they have cut back the physical preparation part of the curriculum at the academy to accommodate their own children? Coddling them would only harm their chances of survival when they did graduate. Those three "honorable" advisor he suspect had and will only cause more problems within Konoha and other Elemental Nations with their ideals. He suspected that they would rather try and settle things their own way behind the Sandaime's back under the pretense of "for the greater good". He snorted yeah right those old coot will be the reason for Konoha's downfall, it was only worse that Sarutobi could not or rather did not want to see what his old friends had become. They were almost as slimy as Orochimaru in that regard he thought.
'Really, when you have only have yourself and the other half of the Kyuubi as company ones thoughts can be very pessimistic. Hopefully Kushina won't try to find a way here, as much as I miss her she deserves to be with her family and people. Maybe she'll find a way to get back at the village for what they are doing to Naruto? Hmm...' with those thoughts he went back to watching his child's life. Sitting on black 'floor' (more like an endless space of darkness with the outside world to watch on the 'ceiling' like a movie projection), next to the curled up Kyuubi and watched.
Shocking-yes, yes it was-, a part of him still could not believe that he could be anywhere near the fox or see him do anything beside destroy. Minato's beliefs had quite frankly been destroyed when they first ended up here in the first place. The fox took a look around, looked at him ( who was wary but determined to fight him for all eternity if he had to), and sigh before he plopped down and curled his tails around himself to sleep. Minato didn't know how long he stood there dumbfounded for, but when he finally came to he sat down at a respectable distance and keep a wary eye on the biju. 'Guess even the Kyuubi doesn't want to fight forever in the Shinigami's stomach either' he thought with a dry chuckle.
A few times after that he manage to talk to the fox who was more than ready to ignore 'the insufferable meatbag' that the fox called him. But he was stubborn, one had to be in order to finally have the love of their name Kushina finally agree to go on a date, and he succeeded. After a few more conversations and one apology later the Kyuubi deemed him ' above a maggot' and they shared their theories on what or who it could have been that manipulated him. It was still a sore subject for the great biju to be a mindless puppet to anyone, a great long rant that had him sorely pitying Madara Uchiha for the amount of hatred the fox seem to have for him. One thing they thought after recalling what they recalled of the night had them guessing ,that no it was not Madara, but someone who had the ability to control the Kyuubi and that this dubbed 'masked bastard' would definately would be a problem later in the future. Minato had a hunch that they would be back for Naruto and the other half of the Kyuubi, the fox had also reluctantly agreed to this hunch. Minato could only hope that Jiraiya-sensei and Kakashi would help the third with Naruto as he grew up. Running a hand through his hair Minato could only hope that Naruto would not hate him too much for what he did and not being able to help and love him through it.
Now he could only watch and silently rage while wondering if he could dish out some other world fury. The fox only watched with one eye at the human next to him and his amusing actions. At least it wouldn't be quite boring.
