Prologue:
"It is done… the Kyubi has been torn form the boy." Pain said to his master.
"I see… is he…alive?" the man asked with little emotion in his voice. He stared down at the body of what used to be the container of the Kyubi no Kitsune.
"No he died after the project was completed." Pain said as he stared at the fallen ninja.
"Small loss… let's go, Phase 2 is now in progress. Call upon the remaining members of the group while I take care of our guests." the man said as he grab the lifeless corpse of the blond teen at his feet. He threw it over his shoulder and began walking to the entrance of the cave.
"Hai leader-sama." Pain said and made a hand seal and spoke into his ring. "The Leader wants us all to meet at the area. Phase 2 is in progress."
There was no reply but Pain felt the pull of his chakra as the remaining members heard his message.
"Just a little farther guys! We can make it!" Tsunade screamed as a small army followed behind her. It consisted of many ninja form the village and they were all intent on one thing, saving Uzumaki Naruto. The army consisted of Maito Gai, Hatake Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, Yuuhi Kurenai, Hyuga Neji & Hinata, Inuzuka Kiba, TenTen, Rock Lee, Aburame Shino, Haruno Sakura, Yamanaka Ino, Akamichi Chouji, Nara Shikimaru, Jiraiya, Iruka, Ibiki, Gaara, Temari, Kankuro, Sarutobi Konohamaru, Mogi, Obi (Not his name I know), Ebisu, and Tsunade last of all.
Naruto had been captured by Akatsuki a couple days ago by a mysterious member that hadn't been on file. After being caught the enemy fled the sight faster then Tsunade could believe and before she could react a army of rogue ninja attacked Konoha. It delayed them by a lot and since they left she gave charge of Konoha to the Shinobi Clan Heads. They were drawing close to where Neji said he sensed Naruto's chakras pouring out last.
"COME ON!" Tsunade screamed picking up the pace.
Sakura had tears running down her face as she cried for her team mate and friend. "Please Naruto…Please for me! You promised you would never die before you became Hokage! You swore to me that…that you wouldn't leave me!" Sakura muttered low enough for only herself to hear.
"HEY! A New presence has emerged and I sense Naruto with it!" Neji said happily and the army cheered.
"Way to fight Naruto!" Lee screamed.
"Come on Gaki just hold on!" Jiraiya said triumphantly.
"You little brat, your getting one after this!" Tsunade said with tears brimming in her eyes.
"Naruto…" Sakura sighed as she wiped away her tears.
"Naruto-kun…" Hinata said fiercely as she raced to help her love.
"Troublesome." Shikimaru said with a smirk.
"Alright Naruto-kun!" Ino screamed not caring what anyone thought about the affectionate title she put on the end.
"Wait hold on!" Neji said suddenly as they got closer. "Oh Kami…" he whispered in fear.
"What is it Neji, did Naruto destroy the person already?" Tsunade asked with a smirk.
"So you are finally here eh?" the mans cold voice boomed as he saw the small Konoha and Suna army come into view. He had Naruto laying in front of him on his back and there were multiple wounds on his body.
"You know…" The man said as he tapped at the black mask on his face. "You're just a little bit late." With that he grabbed Naruto by the collar of his shirt and with amazing strength and speed hurled the lifeless body at the Konoha army.
Tsunade could tell just from the lack of resistance that Naruto's body had that the boy was gone. She could only stare with horror as events played out.
"NO!" Sakura screamed in anger, sadness, rage, grief, and loneliness. Her cries were not the only ones heard as the ninja realized that they had been happy for the wrong reasons. Sakura dove forward and Naruto's body crashed into her and they rolled across the ground. When they stopped rolling Sakura crawled over to Naruto and put his head in her lap and stroked his blond hair while fresh tears fell down her face. "No Naruto…Naruto-kun no!" she sobbed.
"Yeah, he's dead… whoops." the man said as he stared at the small army. "You know, I can tell you guys want to kill me but… please don't try." the man said as he reached up and grabbed his hood that covered his hair. He pulled it down to reveal spiky blond hair that was similar to Naruto's own.
"Oh fuck. NO!" Jiraiya muttered seeing the hair. "RUN!" he screamed as he ran towards the man.
"Jiraiya what is it?" Tsunade screamed running after her friend and team mate.
"It's-"
"Me!" the man screamed ripping off his mask to reveal piercing blue eyes that looked just like Naruto's. His face looked like an older and more mature face that Naruto would have had he not been killed. Jiraiya could only stare in horror as he looked into the eyes of none other then Namikaze Minato.
"That's…" Asuma said his cigarette falling out of his mouth.
"Holy shit." Shikimaru whispered seeing the face.
"Who is he?" Ino asked staring at the man in anger and sorrow.
"Run…" Gai whispered as he saw the face.
Minato held his hand out and formed a Rasengan in it and disappeared from sight suddenly. He reappeared in a yellow flash behind Jiraiya and slammed the Rasengan into his back. The white haired toad sage flew forward at the rock face at incredible speeds and he smashed into it. Minato disappeared again and suddenly he was holding Jiraiya by the neck as he stared into his eyes.
"You fool… as though you or any of these pathetic fools could handle me!" Minato screamed as he slammed Jiraiya down into the ground with strength that rivaled Tsunade's own…the scariest part was that Minato wasn't using chakra infused strength though.
"Jiraiya!" Tsunade screamed as she ran at Minato. The blond haired man simply looked up at the blond woman and caught her glowing fist in mid flight. She froze in horror and shock as he held back her brute strength with no apparent effort.
"Stupid bitch!" Minato screamed as he spun and slammed Tsunade face first into the rock ledge. It shattered upon impact and boulders fell down around the Godaime Hokage. Minato returned his attention to Jiraiya who was bleeding from the mouth, nose, and ears. He had a large wound on his back and blood was pooling around him.
"W-why Minato?" he asked his former student.
"Because… I fucked up 16 years ago and it pissed me off and now I wasted that much of my damn life fixing my mistake!" Minato screamed as he slammed his foot down into Jiraiya's chest crushing his ribs.
"What…who is this?" Ino screamed. She was now holding Naruto along with Hinata and Sakura and tears were falling form her face.
"It's…the Yondaime Hokage." Asuma said and everyone froze.
"I thought he died?" Chouji asked and Minato looked up at him, pure hate radiated from his cold blue eyes.
"Do I look dead?" he asked and then looked at everyone before him. "None of you pose a challenge and the one that did is now dead." Minato said looking at Naruto's dead body.
"Why Minato…he was… he was!" Jiraiya began wheezing out blood was pouring from his mouth.
"MY SON!" Minato screamed and everyone froze while time seemed to stop. "Surprised well then see how this sits. I didn't MEAN to save your damn village from the Kyubi! FUCK! It was me who tricked Uchiha Madra into sending it there. I didn't MEAN to seal it in that damn brat!" Minato screamed as he glared at Naruto.
"What do you mean?" Sakura whispered.
"I was trying to seal the Kyubi within myself! That shit head was my sacrifice! But I fucked up…and we switched roles and I 'died'. But then I struck some gold afterwards and now here I am." Minato said as he looked down into his dying Sensei's eyes. "Pervert!" Minato screamed and he slammed a fully formed Rasengan into Jiraiya's chest immediately killing the man.
"Is there no stopping him?" Gai asked with horror as events played out.
Suddenly a wave of sand flew at Minato and slammed into his body only he disappeared and reappeared behind the user of the sand. Gaara had no time to react as Minato's foot sent him hurtling into the air. Minato formed another Rasengan in his hand and tensed himself to jump but before he could leave the ground to finish the sand user he ducked under Asuma's trench knives. The Rasengan faded as he turned and slammed his fist into Asuma's gut, still in a crouch.
He brought his elbow straight back into the face of Lee who was trying to kick him while he was distracted and the teenage ninja was sent rocketing backwards through a few trees before he came to a halt. He was unconscious and blood was pouring down his face. His arm, collarbone, hip, nose, and wrist were all broken.
"He took Lee out of the battle with one shot… Neji whispered in horror as Minato brought his fist up and slammed an uppercut into Asuma's chin, lifting the Jonin off the ground. Asuma slammed into a large branch over head and fell back to the ground but before he could land Minato spun and slammed a roundhouse kick into his chest and sent him flying at TenTen and Shino who were both caught off guard and were slammed into a tree along with the Jonin.
"Come on… you know you want to fight." Minato suddenly said as his gaze shifted to one frozen Hatake Kakashi.
"Sensei…" Kakashi muttered.
"We have already set up ten different moves to kill you Shikimaru said as he Shadow suddenly snagged Minato and held him firm.
"Hold him Shikimaru!" Kakashi said as he formed a Chidori in his right hand and sprinted at Minato. His head band was up revealing his Sharingan.
"Be careful." Minato said suddenly as he disappeared in a cloud of smoke and in his place was Sakura who was horror stricken as Kakashi flew at her.
"Shit, Sakura!" Kakashi screamed but it was no use. She couldn't move since somehow Minato had placed Sakura in Shikimaru's own shadow hold. Kakashi dipped to the left and rolled his Chidori crashing into the ground and leaving a large gouge.
"Nice try…but fail." Minato said as his foot crashed into Kakashi's face and sent him flying into Shikimaru who was lifted off the ground and both crashed into the rock next to where Tsunade was buried. Sakura was also sent flying since Shikimaru had a hold of her and she slammed into a tree next to the place that Naruto's dead body was. "You're all fools… do you seriously think that you can beat me?" Minato demanded as he disappeared from sight.
He reappeared behind Gai and grabbed him by the vest and with no effort he tossed the man to the side. Gai landed on his feet and slid backwards and immediately rushed at Minato and swung his fist at his face but then pulled back as he brought his leg around at the blond man's head. Minato smirked as he grabbed the vicious kick in mid-flight and held it without suffering any damage.
"Fool." Minato spoke darkly as he spun on his heel and slammed Gai through a tree before releasing him and letting him slam into the rock cliff near Kakashi and Shikimaru. "None of you can beat me… go home to that shit hole and spend the last time that you have on this earth with them." Minato said before he disappeared in a bright yellow flash.
"N-Naruto- kun…." Ino said sadly as she buried her face in her dead friends chest.
"So much death today…" Hinata said as tears poured down her face. She was holding Naruto's hand in her own and was running her thumb across his cold jaw.
"Come on let's transport the injured back home… fortunately no one was actually killed…besides for Jiraiya- Sama and Naruto…" Iruka said sadly as tears made their way down his cheeks and over his scar.
"GAH! MINATO!" A sudden scream echoed through the forest as the rubble that buried Tsunade exploded and sent small rocks raining down. She stood with green chakra encasing her fists as she looked around the clearing in anger the purple diamond on her forehead was gone. "Back to Konoha… prepare for war!" Tsunade shouted the order.
