Chapter 1: THE ATTACK OF THE KYUUBI
It's night time in the Hidden Leaf Village. Everyone was doing their normal things at night. The guys of the leaf were going out for drinks and the women were during a girl's night. Kakashi and Guy where walking around the village in the night before they had to leave in the morning for a mission. Guy was still doing his thing about trying to get Kakashi to fight him and all. Of course Kakashi just let Guy talk and continued to walk on. Kakashi then stopped in his tracks.
"Hey Guy did you feel a change in the wind." Asked Kakashi
"Oh stop talking and lets fight right here." Said Guy
Back at the Hokage Building sat the Third Hokage. He was reading and smoking as usually. He too noticed a change in the wind. He looked up and thought about it.
"It can't be" Thought the Hokage
At the east side of the Village. A masked man jumped over the wall and slammed his hand down on the ground. There was a loud sound of something being summoned in the Village. All the Villagers looked up at the smoke as it cleared and then they could see what was summoned. It was the Kyuubi. The masked man then told Kyuubi to attack the Village. People ran around as the Kyuubi attacked and destroyed the Village. The Third Hokage suited up to battle the Monster Fox.
"Lord Third, the Kyuubi suddenly appeared in the Village." Said one of the Anbu Black Ops
"Get all the ninja gathered up and save as many people as you can and tell them to lead the Villagers to the west side of the Village." Said the Hokage
"Yes Lord Hokage, Right at once." Said the Anbu
"Damn did Kushina's seal brake? Damn it Minato where are you." Thought the Third
All the Ninja were firing all the weapons they had at the Kyuubi. But none of them had any damage. But this was to just to get his focus on them and allow some of the other ninja to get some of the Villagers out of the Kyuubi's path of killing. But that didn't help much. Then the third Hokage Arrived on the battlefield. He bit down on his thumb and slammed his hand down and summoned Monkey King Emma to the Battlefield.
"So Kushina's seal broke and the Kyuubi is freed." Said Emma
"Yes Emma, so for right now all we can do is try to get it outside of the Village and then seal it again. But for that we need the Fourth." Said the Hokage
The Hokage ordered all the ninja to try and push the Kyuubi out of the Village and hold on until the Fourth Hokage arrives. That's when the Hokage charged at the Kyuubi. Emma changed in to a large pole and extended and hit the Kyuubi. Kyuubi put his claws into the ground and stopped to look at the Hokage. While the fighting was going on the Fourth Hokage arrived on the battlefield and on top the mountain of the past Hokages. The Kyuubi turned and looked at him.
"So you already know that I'm here huh." Said the Fourth
The Kyuubi then started to charge up a Tailed Beast Bomb. The Fourth didn't like that.
"I won't let you do as you please here in my Village." Thought the Fourth
Kyuubi fired the Bomb at The Fourth. The Fourth did some hand signs and did the justu and teleported the attack away from the Village. Everyone that saw the attack and saw what happened all thought the same thing. That The Fourth has arrived on the battle field. Nine Tails then started up another Tailed Beast Bomb attack. This time the Fourth was ready and summoned Gammabuta and he landed on the Kyuubi.
"Hey Minato, can you hurry up and do something. I can't hold him down for too long." Said Buta
"Teleporting something like the Kyuubi will take a lot of chakra to move him." Thought the Fourth
Then in almost all the chakra the Fourth could use he teleported him and the Kyuubi away. The Ninja saw the blast the Kyuubi did in the distance.
Back at the house that Minato left Kushina and Naruto at. The house was crushed and destroyed by the force of the impact of the Kyuubi landing on the ground from Minato teleporting him to the area. Minato landed on the ground with Kushina and Naruto.
"I must put up a barrier immediately." Said an out of breath Minato
"My chakra is almost…" Thought Minato
Kushina looks as Minato is breathing heavy.
"I can still do it, Minato." Said Kushina
Then out of her back Kushina unleashed her charka chains and had the wrap all around the Kyuubi. After she did that Kushina started to cough. Minato watching as she did so.
"Kushina!" Said Minato
Naruto then started to cry in Minato's arms. Kushina then looks up at Naruto as she is breathing heavily.
"Did I wake you up?" Asked Kushina
"I'm sorry, Naruto." Said Kushina
Minato the looked at Kushina
"Kushina…" Said Minato
Kushina looks up at Minato with sadness in her eyes.
"I'm going to draw the Nine Tails with me to my death. So we can delay the revival of the Nine Tails." Said Kushina
As this is going on the chains around the Nine Tails are tighting.
"I'll be able to save all of you with what little chakra I have left." Said Kushina
"Thank you for everything you've done for me." Said Kushina
Minato looked like he wanted to start crying after hearing those words coming from Kushina.
"Kushina…" Started Minato
"It's because of you that I'm the Fourth Hokage!" Said Minato
"You made me a man!" continued Minato
"And you made me this baby's father!" Said Minato
"And yet…" Minato started
"Minato, don't give me that look!" Said Kushina
"I'm happy that you loved me." Said Kushina
Minato just sat there listening to his wife
"And today…is this child's birthday." Said Kushina
"If I were to imagine me alive, and our future together, the three of us as a family…I can't see us having anything but a happy life." Said Kushina
After hearing this coming from Kushina, Minato started to cry. Kushina then lifted her head up and continued to speak.
"If I were allowed just one regret, it's that I won't be able to see Naruto grow up…How I wish I could have seen that." Said Kushina
Kushina, there is no need for you to die with the Nine Tails. Preserve what little chakra you have left for a reunion with Naruto." Said a crying Minato
Kushina looked up at Minato. Minato then wipes away a tear.
"I'll seal all of your remaining chakra inside Naruto. It will be part of an Eight Signed Seal. Then I'll take the Nine Tails with me with the only Sealing Jutsu I can do since I'm not a Jinchuriki, The Reaper Death Seal!" Said Minato
As Minato was saying this, the Kyuubi was getting pissed at hearing all of this.
"But the caster that uses that Jutsu…!" Said Kushina
"And one more thing. I will only seal half of the Nine Tails. " Said Minato
Kyuubi then narrowed his eyes to Minato and Kushina.
"Sealing a power this immense is physically impossible. It's also strategically unwise." Said Minato
The Nine Tails then started to turn and look at Minato and Kushina as they are talking. Kyuubi is trying hard as he can to move because of Kushina's chains wrapped around him.
If you take the Nine Tails and its seal with you when you die, there won't be a Jinchuriki around when he reemerges. That will upset the balance of power between the Tailed Beasts. The Reaper Death Seal will seal half of the Nine Tails with me forever. As for the other half of the Nine Tails…I will seal it inside Naruto with the Eight Signed Seal! Said Minato
Kushina then let out a small huff.
"I know what you want to say. But remember what Master Jiraiya said about world upheaval. And the calamities that would follow. Two things were confirmed for me today. That Masked man who attacked you today is a harbinger of disaster! And the one who will stop him is this child! This infant whose godfather is Master Jiraiya. He will open up the future as a Jinchuriki. I don't know why, but I'm convinced of this." Said Minato
Minato then sits Naruto on the ground getting ready for the Seal.
"But Minato…!" Said Kushina
Minato then gets up and in the back ground is the Nine Tails still chained up. Minato then stand in front of Kushina. The Third Hokage then lands on the ground where Minato and Kushina are at. The Third then sees the Hand Seals that Minato is doing. Minato does the Seals and is doing the Reaper Death Seal.
"Reaper Death Seal!" Said Minato
"Let's put our trust in this child! He's our son, after all! Said Minato
The Third is standing there as he looks at Minato and Kushina.
"Those signs. Don't tell me… Yes, it's the Reaper Death Seal. " Said the Third
(Back to Minato and Kushina)
"When I'm finished with the Reaper Death Seal, I will seal your chakra inside Naruto. When he tries to control the Nine Tail's power as a Jinchuriki, I want you to help him out." Said Minato
"Our son…He's our son, which is why I don't want to put such a terrible burden on him! Said a crying Kushina
There was a movement of silence.
"And also, why use the Reaper Death Seal?" If it's just so I can meet a grown-up Naruto even if it's just for a short while, there's no need for you to die! I want you to stay by Naruto as he grows up and protect him. I don't get it! To keep the Balance of Tailed Beasts? For the sake of the nation and the village? Why must Naruto be sacrificed?! Why must you sacrifice yourself for me?! Said an out of breath Kushina
"To forsake one's nation, and one's village, is the same as forsaking one's child. Your own homeland was destroyed, so you of all people should know…the harsh life that awaits those without a country. Besides, our family is… Shinobi! Said Minato
Kushina looked on as Minato was talking.
"And finally, even if I were to live, I'm no match to you. Said Minato
Minato then lowered himself sown to Kushina.
"Even though you won't have much time with him, there are some things only you as his mother can tell Naruto. Things that I can't. That's a mother's role. I'm not doing this just for you. I'm doing this for Naruto. Said Minato
Minato then Picks Naruto up off the ground and holds him in his arms. Minato then looks at Kushina
"I will gladly die for my son. It's my duty as his father." Said Minato
Kushina keeps on looking at Minato in the eyes. So does Minato to Kushina.
(Back to the Third)
The Third Hokage is trying to get to Minato and Kushina, but he can't. Two Ninja then land next to the Third.
"Lord Third, what's wrong." Asked Ninja one
The Third then places his on the Barrier.
"It's no good. I can't go further than this point. Because of the barrier put up to keep Nine Tails from escaping! Those two are planning to take care of Nine Tails Themselves! Said the Third
(Back to Minato and Kushina.)
The Reaper's hand then goes through Minato and grabs the Nine Tails chakra
"Damn you, Fourth Hokage!" Said the Kyuubi to himself
"Seal!" said Minato
And grabs half of it and seals it inside Minato.
"My body is getting numb…I've expected such massive chakra. Said Minato
The chains around the Nine Tails started to loosen and fall and the Nine Tails has shrunk because of it having half of its chakra taken from it.
"Damn you!" Said the Nine Tails to himself
(back to the Third)
"It's the Reaper Death seal, after all. He actually used it. Said the Third
'But the Nine Tails is till…! Wasn't he able to complete the seal? It's gotten smaller, but…Said Nine two
(Back to Minato and Kushina)
Minato then slams his down on the ground and summons the Eight signed seal table.
"All right, next is the Eight Signed Seal." Said Minato
Minato then starts to walk to the table
"I will seal the Nine Tails inside Naruto.
"The Ritual Altar. Does he intend to seal me again? Furthermore… Inside that baby?" Thought the Nine Tails
And sits Naruto down on it. Kushina then tries to get over to the Table. But she is unable to and starts to cough.
"Kushina! Are you all right?" Said Minato
Minato then runs to her. Nine tails then sees his chance
"Right Now!"Said Nine Tails
And takes a shot for Naruto.
Minato and Kushina then jump in front of the Nine Tails attack and gets impaled by the Nine Tails Claw. The stopped the attack and stopped the nail from hitting Naruto.
"I said this was the father's duty." Said Minato
"Then all the more, since I'm his mother!" said Kushina
(Back to the Third)
"There's a child?" Said the Third
"They shielded Him." Said Ninja One
(Back to Minato and Kushina)
Nine Tails is pissed that they stopped his attack.
"Why You-!" Said the Nine Tails
Kushina was breathing really bad because of the Nine Tails claw being through her and Minato.
"This is the first time I lost an Argument. Okay, I understand that you're determined to do this. Said Kushina
"Thank you, Kushina." Said Minato
Minato then wipes some of his blood and puts some onto his hand and did some hand seals.
"Summoning Jutsu." Said Minato
The smoke cleared and there was a toad.
"Nine Tails!" Screamed the Toad
"What?! Lord Fourth too! What's the meaning of this?! Asked the Toad
Gerotora, I'm going to give you the Sealing Formula's Key. Take it immediately to Master Jiraiya and store it away." Asked Minato
(Back to the Third)
"I see…Minato plans to make his own son the Jinchuriki to save the village." Said The Third
(Back to Minato and Kushina)
"You have my world. I confirm the key is in my possession. And now I'm off!" Said Gerotora
"That should do it." Said Minato
The Reaper then took out his knife and licked the blade.
"Kushina, my time is running out. I'm going to start the Eight Signed Seal. I want to put some of my chakra in Naruto too. It'll be quite a while before we can see him. Let's tell him what we want to say." Said Minato
"Naruto…Don't be picky. Eat lots and grow strong. Make sure you bathe every day and stay warm. And don't stay up late. You need lots of sleep. And make friends. You don't need a lot of friends. Just a few… Ones you can really, really trust. I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your ninjutsu hard. Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. So don't get too depressed if you can't do something well. Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy. Oh, and this is important. It's about the Three Prohibitions for a Shinobi. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Put your mission wages into your savings account. No alcohol until you're twenty. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation. Another Prohibition is women. I'm a woman, so I don't know too much about this but… All you need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women. So it's only natural to take an interest in girls… but just don't get hooked on bad women. Find someone just like me. Speaking of the Three Prohibitions be wary of Jiraiya Sensei, you know. Naruto, from now on, you're going to face lots of pain and hardship. Be true to yourself. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true! There's so much... Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you. I wish I could stay with you longer. I love you. Minato, I'm sorry I used up your time." Said a Dyeing Kushina
"Oh, it's okay. Naruto, my message to you is… I guess it's the same as your nagging mother's. Eight Signed Seal." Said Minato before he died with Kushina
