Without further Ado, The Story:
Prologue:Changing Destiny
Tobi, the man who claimed himself to be the Legendary Madara Uchiha, growled as he gripped his black hair, the single red eye shown through his flame patterned orange mask glowing in rage. His strength was slowly fading, every year the strength he proudly gloated over, leaving him. "My plans..." He growled to himself as he stalked through, what seemed to be a meadow. "... Everything I've worked for are collapsing around me!"
"Troubles Madara?" A mismatched voice questioned the man who snarled in response. The masked man swirled on his heels, glaring at his venus fly trap like spy. The plant like man's body was split between two colors, black, and white. Pointing at the man, Madara snarled in rage, his red sharingan eye spinning wildly.
"Trouble? Trouble?" Tobi spoke as his spy, Zetsu, winced and stepped backwards a few feet. "More than trouble! I'm becoming weaker! Weaker! When I've finally assembled everything needed for my plans, my strength begins to leave me! And to make matters worse, that kami damned Yondaime, Minato Namikaze," Tobi spat with venom, "Has created an even stronger seal than the one that contains my pet, Kyuubi, now! And he intends to place it upon her after her child birth!
Do you know what this does to my plans? Now, I have less than a month to go into Konoha, break Kushina Uzumaki's seal, and place Kyuubi under an illusion. Even then, she will have delivered her child, and thus another Uzumaki is born, another container to keep my pet from me! And without my pet, in fifteen years, the ability I will have to rely upon the most will be my time and space transportation."
"What about your other Jutsu? Surely they Will not decrease enough that you will actually become vulnerable?" Zetsu questioned Madara who once again turned to him.
"Oh no, I will still have my arsenal, but they will have depleted in strength. Maybe not enough that I can't hold my own in battle, but enough that I will have to constantly rest. It will hinder me... Hinder Me! Madara Uchiha! One of the greatest ninja to ever grace this damn plain of existence!" Tobi rambled, his single red eye beginning to glow brighter. "How am I to complete my plan, if I am either too weak or my life span actually begins to deplete! Answer me, Zetsu, How!"
The plant like man seemed to ponder for a moment as Tobi began growing increasingly frustrated, a fire almost beginning to spark in the meadow. Staring into Madara's enraged eye, Zetsu's own began to brighten considerably. "Perhaps, Madara, you should find someone to carry on your legacy. A heir of sorts. Someone who will follow your role if you become weak, or your life span shortens, and wish to have a second in command."
"A... Heir?" Madara repeated, his eye narrowing. "A Heir? There is no one on this planet that is capable of following my role! No one who I will even consider my second in command! The Uchiha Clan, the clan I lead, Is greedy, and will only turn on me when the outcome betters for them, I know from experience. Every ninja will, it is how this world has become. You also know that I cannot sire a child. And even Nagato, with the Rin'negan that I bestowed upon him is nothing but a pawn in my future plans! Tell me, Zetsu, how am I to come upon a heir in a world such as this, where everyone has a plan that only works to better themselves?"
"Perhaps... You could create one?" The plant man suggested as Madara slowly turned to him, eye sparkling with curiosity.
"Continue, Zetsu. I am intrigued as to what you mean: Create my own heir, without siring one?"
"It is fairly simple, Madara. Orochimaru has come to be known to clone children. Create beings from another's Dna. All for his chance of Immortality. Yet, all of his attempts have failed. We have research notes of his found in an abandoned research labs. And with that we have the one thing that he didn't to stabilize the project." Zetsu repsonded to the orange masked man who glanced at him skeptically for a moment before staring at his visible hands.
"You are referring to your own abilities, are you not, Zetsu?" Tobi questioned the plant man whom nodded response. Tobi glanced to the sky for a moment, his right eye beginning to glow eerily red as he growled in annoyance to the situation. "Fine, Zetsu. We will try your plan. Bring me the research notes, and find a way to obtain Dna from Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki."
"Why would you want those two's Dna?" Zetsu questioned as Tobi hid a smile behind his mask.
"The answer is simple, Zetsu. If I cannot have the Kyuubi under my control in its Demonic form, I will have his power under control through the use of its container. You look, Confused. Let me explain things more clearly. As I have stated, the Yondaime Hokage has created a new seal that he plans to place on his wife after her child birth. Which means I must break the seal within twenty days.
However, he will no doubt seal the Demon into his newborn child. This is where the Dna comes in. If we have the Dna of the parents, the... Clone if you want to use that word, will bear the exact resemblance of his parents, bar a third or fourth Dna resemblance. As such I will replace the real baby with my creation, thus if the yondaime truly seals Kyuubi, which will force the Yondaime to summon the Shinigami, the demon will remain under my control, the Yondaime his accursed wife, and their damned offspring will be dead, and my enemies will be none the wiser. Do you understand now, Zetsu?"
"Hai, Madara. I understand."
"Perfect, because we have a short deadline. Get me the Research, get me the Dna, and get me on my schedule. If we do not get this done within my time span, all of my planning was for naught. Well? What are you waiting for, Zetsu, Go!" Quickly, the Venus Fly Trap like man disappeared into the ground as Tobi released a breath of air. "Maybe not all is lost after all..."
~Twenty Days Later~
"What the hell is taking so long, Zetsu!" An enraged voice questioned as Tobi set fire to a wall of the building that he and his spy sat in, though it was quickly doused. "Time is running low! I have funded you, given you all the research, the Dna's necessary and yet, the time to finish this is over! Do you know what will happen to my plans if we have not finished this in time! I will have to go ahead to Konoha without him, today. I will have to allow my pet to actually be placed in the Yondaime's true child! I will not-"
"Madara, I am almost finished. It has only taken so long because it is truly hard for me to not only incorporate the few Dna's that you have given me into the clone, but keep it stable so that It will not collapse. It has taken the hard work of both of my sides just to make sure that he does not melt before both of our very eyes." Zetsu cut Tobi off, the orange masked man releasing a growl of annoyance.
"I do not ask of much from you, Zetsu, nor do I question your abilities, as I have witnessed them first hand. If I had known the Yondaime was creating that seal sooner we would not be in such a rush. As it is, today is the day of the Yondaime child's birth. And Kushina Uzumaki has no doubt already gone into labor!" Tobi responded to his spy who nodded in response as he lifted, what seemed to be, a child up, presenting it to Tobi. The sharingan wielder smiled behind his mask as he stared at what the two men had created. Truly it seemed to be a infant clone of the Yondaime, though it did wield key facial elements of its 'Mother'.
"It's finished, Madara. What do you think?"
"It's... Perfect." Tobi replied as he continued to observe their creation. "Now, what I need you to do is to follow me, Zetsu. We cannot waste anymore time in my plans! Come." Zetsu nodded in response to the man's demand as he sank into the ground, automatically knowing their destination: Konohagakure No Sato. Tobi smiled evilly behind his mask. "It's all coming together... My plans are actually coming into place!" Tobi released a laugh as he disappeared from view.
~Outside of Konohagakure, Later That Day~
A half white, half black, yellow eyed head, which was surrounded by Venus Fly Trap extensions protruded from the ground just outside of Konoha's gates, just as a man wearing a orange, black flame patterned man appeared beside of him. "Where is she, Zetsu? Where is Kushina Uzumaki?" Tobi questioned his spy as he finally came into view, holding the twos creation. The Plant Like man gained a look of concentration before he pointed to the right of himself.
"That way. In the forest, an underground bunker." Zetsu replied as Tobi nodded, already heading in the general direction.
"Stay close by, Zetsu. We will need to switch the child quickly." Zetsu nodded in response as he followed the Orange masked man.
~Underground Bunker~
"Congratulation, Kushina-Sama." An Anbu wearing a Bear mask spoke to the red headed, green eyed woman. "It's a boy." Kushina looked up to the Anbu, releasing a tired smile. Her eyes, which seemed drained of a large amount of life, however, widened in terror as she released a scream as Chains came from behind him before being pulled back, ripping through the man's neck, effectively decapitating him.
The five other Anbu within the room tensed before lurching forward at an Orange masked man. The Anbu, however, simply fazed through the man as he used to rip two more of them in half. The three remaining Anbu's eyes widened as they withdrew their swords. "Who are you?" One of them questioned as the man released a sadistic laugh. With no answer, the men lurched forwards again. The orange masked man quickly withdrew a kunai, slamming it through the mask of one, effectively killing him.
The man jumped backwards before slinging his chain through the air, allowing it to decapitate another Anbu, leaving one. The man shook heavily before rushing forwards, only succeeding in passing through the man again. Tobi one again materialized, twisting multiple times and wrapping the man in the chain before pulling them, ripping the final Anbu to shreds. "Minato!" The red headed woman screamed in fright, to weak to actually defend herself as the masked man took her child from her. As the man leaped away from the woman, her husband, the Fourth Hokage, appeared in a Yellow Flash, the man's eyes widening upon seeing Tobi holding his child.
"Release my son, or you will pay with your life." Minato warned as Tobi chuckled, disappearing and reappearing on the ground above the bunker his.
"Catch me if you can!" Tobi called down into the bunker as he disappeared from the entrance. Inside the bunker, Minato Namikaze growled before he once again disappeared in a Yellow Flash, chasing after the man who dared to hold his Son hostage.
"Minato!" Kushina called again, though the man was to far gone to hear her cry, or notice another orange, flame patterned mask wearing man to appear from the shadows of the Bunker.
~Tobi & Minato~
Tobi released a laugh as he appeared in a clearing with Konoha's forest, just in front of his Plant Like Spy, whom still held their creation, which, in truths, was an exact replica of Minato's and Kushina's true child. "Quick Enough, Madara." The Plant Man responded as he handed their creation over to Tobi, in return receiving the fourth's true child.
"Yes, now leave, quickly! The Fourth is almost here!" Zetsu nodded into response to Tobi's command as he quickly sank into the ground, just in time as Minato Namikaze landed in the clearing. "Oh, you caught me... Inconvenient." Tobi spoke, lying through his mask.
"Give me my son, now!" The man snarled as Tobi placed his hand over his Created Heir's face, threatening to kill him, though he wouldn't dare.
"And if I don't?" The man questioned, his head just barely dodging the tri pronged Kunai that the Fourth Hokage threw at him. Tobi did, however, allow the blond haired man to take his creation from his, with a well placed punch to his masked jaw. "Very clever..." Tobi sarcastically praised the man, whom snarled in response as he brandished his tri pronged Kunai.
"And now there's nothing left to keep me from eliminating you as a threat!"
"Oh, I'm not the threat!" The orange masked man replied as he disappeared in a plum of smoke, the Yondaime Hokage's eyes widening.
"A... A shadow clone? Then that means-" Before he could finish his sentence, a chakra that he knew all too well from his wife. "Kyuubi!"
~Tobi & Kushina~
Tobi laughed sadistically as Kushina writhed in pain, his Sharingan eye spinning wildly. "Kill her! Kill her Kyuubi!" Tobi cried to the Demonic Beast as it raised its gigantic paw to crush the woman that Tobi had drug from the Underground bunker. As the paw of the nine tailed fox came crashing down, however, a Yellow Flash appeared, just barely saving Kushina from a crushing death.
Minato quickly appeared on a tree branch, carefully cradling Kushina against his chest. "I don't know who you are, but I'm going to kill you!" Minato snarled to the man before he once again disappeared, intent on keeping his wife and child safe from the orange masked man. Tobi's single eye lowered in an almost lazy way as he leaped to the head of the Kyuubi's head, the beast releasing a roar.
"How boring..." Tobi spoke before glancing down to the head of the Demonic Beast he sat upon. "Now, Kyuubi, go, go forwards and destroy the vile existence that is Konohagakure No Sato!" The man cried to his 'Pet', which quickly lurched forwards, tearing through the leaf villages forest to reach said village.
~Minato~
The blond headed Hokage rushed through his village, having just safely deposited his wife and 'child' inside of the villages Hospital, his forces already rallying in an effort to fend of the Kyuubi No Kitsune that was quickly advancing upon Konoha. The man jumped high into the air, landing on a building as he glance out over his village, finding it already destroying homes. 'I must report all that's happened to Lord Third, Immediately.' The man thought to himself. Suddenly, his eyes filled with rage as he felt a hand approaching him from behind.
The man swirled, holding one of his kunai, trying to the attacker in his skull, only succeeding in passing through it and the man's hand as his eyes widened. "I'm your opponent... And it's all over." The attacker of his family spoke in his deep voice as he held Minato's wrist. Immediately a swirling motion came from the eye hole of the man's mask, beginning to twist Minato's body, as if he was sending him to another place. Acting quickly, the Fourth Hokage Vanished to a seal he had placed on another object. "He flew away... He's Fast." The man spoke to himself. "Next time I'll get him faster. The instant we make contact."
~Another Location~
Minato slammed into the green ground that had four of his Tri Pronged Kunai slammed into the ground, forming a square, releasing a grunt of pain. "My attack missed. But he materialized and Instantly tried to drag me in. What is that Jutsu?" He questioned himself as he slowly rose up from the ground, onto his hands and knees. Suddenly, he released a gasp of surprise as a vortex broke out in the clearing he was in, Tobi once again appearing before his knelt form.
"I won't let you get away." The man spoke, his right sharingan eye narrowing at the blond headed Hokage.
'He uses the Teleportation Jutsu too?' Minato questioned himself, withdrawing one of his kunai from the ground. 'Is that how he moved so quickly before?' The man stood up, still sizing up his opponent who sat just a short distance away. "A shinobi who outmaneuvered the Anbu under Lord Third's direct control... Who slipped through a top secret barrier... And who knows that the Nine Tails' Seal would weaken during child birth. Furthermore, he undid the Nine Tails' seal, tamed it and... went in and out of the barrier set up by the hidden leaf without being caught. I know only one Shinobi capable of this.' The blond thought to himself as he glared dangerously at the man in front of him. "Are you Madara Uchiha?" Minato questioned the man before him. In response, the man lowered his hood, allowing his short hair to come into view. "No, that's impossible. He's dead."
"I wonder about that." Tobi spoke in response.
"At this point, it doesn't matter who you are. But why are you targeting the Hidden Leaf?" He questioned the mask man, who tilted his head slight to the left.
"You could say I did it on a whim, or that I planned it, or that it's war, or that it's for peace." The man responded as he lifted his left hand, his cloak's sleeve covering his arm, chains falling down and revealing a cuff around his left wrist.
'Whatever the case, he's no ordinary man!' Minato thought as he assumed a battle stance. 'He can control the nine tails and his teleportation jutsu surpasses both Lord Second's and Mine. And he has some dangerous ideology. I must deal with him now.' The Fourth Hokage concluded as Tobi raised his right hand, pulling another cuff to his right wrist, and showing a connection of chains from right to left before he began moving his hand to make it used to the feeling of the cuff again. 'Or he'll be even more trouble than the Nine Tails! If I transport myself to the village now, he will follow and the battlefield will become even more chaotic.
If he's like Madara,' Minato continued as a wind came through the clearing, blowing both men's cloaks. 'I can't keep the Nine Tails under the Summoning Jutsu for too long. I just have to entrust the village to Lord Third. As for me... I have to take this guy down right here!'
"Now that I have freed the Nine Tails," Tobi finally spoke, brandishing his chains. 'You people have no hope left!" With this, both men leaped forwards, Minato thrusting his tri pronged Kunai forwards to stab through his opponent. The blade, and himself, however, went right through Tobi's body before he materialized, the chain catching Minato around his abdomen. Acting Quickly, Minato used his Flying Thunder God Technique to appear at one of his kunais a few feet away.
'His Flesh... My physical attacks have no effect on him,' Minato once again noted to himself, 'but he makes himself materialize to attack me. Namely, I can only aim for him when we both strike blows! But his risk lies during the moment of attack. And considering the remaining time on the Nine Tails Summoning Jutsu, he doesn't relish a long battle either. The one who attacks an instance quicker than the other... Will win this match.' With that he was back on his feet, rushing forwards, his opponent following suit.
Almost towards each other, Minato threw his Tri Pronged Kunai at the man's forehead, something that would have killed him, though it once again went straight through him. As it continued, Tobi reached forwards to grab Minato as a Rasengan began spinning dangerously in his hand. Tobi's shadowed eye watched him closely, as he almost grabbed the sleeve of the man's white cloak, just as Minato's Kunai finished its track through the masked man's head. 'I win.' Minato thought to himself as he disappeared, reappearing behind Tobi, grasping his kunai and still controlling his Rasengan. Minato quickly spun in mid air, his giant Rasengan slamming him into Tobi's back and digging the ground beneath them.
'Damnit! He flew to that Kunai from earlier!' Tobi screamed in his mind, still enduring the Rasengan attack.
"That was my Flying Raijin, Level Two." Minato spoke to Tobi before they desecrated the ground beneath them, debris flying in all directions. As his Attack ended, Minato quickly slapped black inking onto Tobi's back, where his shirt was torn from his Rasengan attack. As dust spread throughout the clearing, Tobi leaped to a piece of Debis that stuck straight up, clasping his left arm and panting heavily as white goop fell from his sleeve, his slightly bloodied hand detaching almost completely from the rest of his body, just as Minato stood from the dust.
"You got me." Tobi spoke, almost with amusement. "This is what is meant by 'elusive'. I should have never let my guard down." Before anymore could be said, Minato disappeared, right back in front of Tobi, revealing the ink to have been a seal as he slammed his hand into Tobi's gut, the masked man's hand and his left chain flying away from his body at the sudden force.
"Flying Raijin Jutsu!" Minato called as he glared up at Tobi's masked face.
'So that's it... He marked my body somewhere!' Tobi exclaimed to himself. Suddenly, Minato twisted his hand, a bigger seal appearing throughout Tobi's front, shining. 'A contract seal? He intends to separate me from the nine tails?' Tobi questioned himself with haste as he looked to where his 'Pet' was.
"With this, the Nine Tails no longer belongs to you." Minato stated, confirming the man's fear, as the Kyuubi released a long drawn out roar, the Sharingan, which had previously resided in the beast eyes, signaling Tobi's control over it, swirled around the monster's pupil, slowly minimizing until it finally disappeared, the beast's eye becoming smaller and the round pupil becoming a slit that extended from top to bottom.
Tobi released a cry of frustration as he jumped away from Minato, his eye filled with rage. "Fine. You win this battle, Minato Namikaze. Know this, though, Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, I have other plans that are in effect. And as long as I breath, there will come a day with the Kyuubi No Kitsune is mine once again!" With these words, Tobi disappeared from the view of Minato, having been defeated and stripped of his weapon.
Minato looked up towards the Kyuubi, his eyes steely. 'I need a container!' The man though to himself as he disappeared in a flash of yellow to the room where his wife and child were.
Kushina sat, holding the blond haired boy in her arms, a sight that made Minato wince. "Kushina, I need our son." Minato spoke, making her jump as he looked at her, blood trailing from her lips.
"Why?" She questioned of her husband though he didn't answer. "Why aren't you answering me? You want to use him as the new Jinchurki, don't you? No, Minato, no! I won't allow it! I'm dying, seal the Kyuubi into me, so I can take it with me! Just please, dont..."
"I'm sorry." Minato responded as he took the child into his arms. Kushina leaped from her resting pot, grabbing hold of her husband, just before he disappeared, the family of three gone in a flash.
~Tobi~
The masked man appeared, once again, with his teleportation Jutsu, right in front of the form of his spy, Zetsu, whom still held the Yondaime Hokage's actual Child. Zetsu glanced down at the man's arm, wearily. "You lost you hand?" He questioned as the man nodded, reaching forwards and expertly taking the blond haired child from him with his handless arms, cradling the child before bringing his right hand to hover above the boy's head.
"Yes... For now." Tobi responded to Zetsu before returning his attention to the blond haired child, lowering his right hand. "Goodbye Pest..."
~Minato~
The blond headed Hokage's eyes widened as he glanced down at his wife. "Minato, please, listen to me!" Kushina cried as chains illuminated by a golden chakra pierced from her back, into the ground, before reappearing in front of the Kyuubi, whom was standing in the same clearing as them, wrapping themselves around it in an attempt to restrain it as she pleaded with her husband.
"I'm sorry." Minato spoke as he flipped through hand seals necessary for his next Jutsu. "Reaper Death Seal!" Minato cried as a smoke like substance rose from his body before transforming itself into the Shinigami, as it held, what looked like, Minato's sould in a crucified position just in front of it. "Let's put our trust in this Child!" Minato spoke to his wife as he continued to hold his hand seal. "He's our son after all! When I'm finished with the Reaper Death Seal, I will seal you chakra inside Naruto. When he tries to control the nine Tails' power as a Jinchuriki, I want you to help him out."
"Our son..." Kushina spoke, her intense eyes trained on her husband before looking down to the blond haired, whisker marked child in front of them. "He's our son, which is why I don't want to put such a terrible burden on him!" She exclaimed to her husband as he looked down upon her with sorrow. "And also, why use the Reaper Death Seal? If it's just so I can meet a Grown-Up Naruto, even if it's 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 the tailed beast?
For the sake of the Nation and the Village? Why must Naruto be sacrificed! Why must you sacrifice yourself for me?" She screamed at her blond headed husband, blood flying out of her mouth.
"To forsake one's Nation, One's village," Minato respnded as he stared down upon his kneeling wife, "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." He continued as the Shinigami watched on without emotions. "Besides, our family is... Shinobi! And finally, even if I were to live, I'm no match to you." With these words he spread his arms out before kneeling down with his wife as her eyes widened. "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."
With these words spoke, Minato reached down and picked the baby up off of the ground where he had been laid in front of his red headed mother before caming face to face with his Kushina. "I will gladly die." He continued to his wife. "It's my duty as his father." The two parent's eyes glared intensely at each other as the Shinigami's own looked to the side where an aged old man tried to break through his barrier.
"Lord Third, What's wrong?" They all heard from the ninja that landed beside the old man.
"It's no good." The old man spoke as he slammed his open palm into the barrier. "I can't go farther than this point because of the barrier put up to keep the nine tails from escaping. Those two are planning on taking the Nine Tails themselves!" He cried just as the Shinigami slammed its hand through Minato's body before twisting and turning to come upon the Kyuubi.
"Damn you Fourth Hokage!" The Kyuubi Growled.
"Seal!" The yondaime responded to the beast as it reared its head upwards, its soul leaving with the hand of the Shinigami, piercing through the fourth once again as a seal appeared on his body where the arm had been. 'My body' going numb...' Minato thought to himself in pain. 'I never expected such massive Chakra...'
Kushina illuminating chains fell from the Kyuubi's body a it began shrinking, its paw standing within its own footprint and seeming an infinite amount smaller. "Damn You!" The beast cried again.
"It's the reaper death seal after all. He actually used it!"
"But the nine tails is still... ! Wasn't he able to complete the seal? It's gotten smaller, but..." Before he could continue, Minato placed his hand upon the ground, a small bronze holster with a cushioned bedding with eight candles sitting on the shape of an octagon appeared from his hand.
"Alright, next is the eight side seal." Minato spoke again. "I will seal the Nine Tails Inside Naruto." He spoke as he stepped towards the small bedding.
"The Ritual Alter?" The Kyuubi questioned. "Does he intend to Seal me again? Furthermore, inside that baby?"
Kushina watched this with heavy eyes before she lurched forwards, going into a coughing fit. "Kushina! Are you alright?" Minato questioned as he ran over to her. Seeing this, the Kyuubi's eye widened as he spotted the unprotected child, his paw immediately raising into the air.
"Right Now!" It exclaimed Kushina's and Minato's eyes widened. As the paw descended upon their child, Minato and Kushina, reacting quickly, jumped in front of the paw with pained eyes as the claws pierced through their chests, blood dripping onto Naruto as they stopped Kyuubi just short of the infant.
"I said that this was the father's duty." Minato spoke as Kushina looked at him over her shoulder.
"Then all the more, since I'm his mother!" The woman retorted.
"There's a Child?" The old man outside of the barrier finally noticed.
"They shielded him."
"Why you-!"
"This is the first time I lost an argument." Kushina spoke to Minato over her shoulder once more as he watched her with pained eyes. "Okay, I understand you're determined to do this."
"Thank you, Kushina." Minato responded before taking a small amount of blood from his chin. The man smeared the blood onto his left hand before once again going through hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!" He cried with his hand outstretched. A toad sitting crosslegged, floating above the ground with its arms cross before it released a cry.
"The Kyuubi! What? Lord Fourth, too! What's the meaning of this?"
"Gerotora, I'm going to give you the sealing formula's key." Minato responded to the floating toad. "Take it immediately to Master Jiraiya and store it away."
"I see..." The Old Man spoke from outside the barrier. "Minato plans to make his own son the Jinchuriki to save the village."
"You have my word." The toad spoke, wrapping a scroll with intricate seals up. "I confirm the key is in my possession. And now I'm off!" With these words, the toad was gone, leaving the two impaled parents and their child alone with the Kyuubi.
"That should do it." Minato spoke as the Shinigami took the knife from his mouth, licking the blade with his saliva covered tongue. "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."
"Naruto..." Kushina spoke softly as she glanced down upon her son, "Don't be picky. Eat lots and grow strong. Make sure you bathe every day and stay warm. Also, 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 be too depressed if you can't do something well. Respect you teachers and upperclassmen at the academy. Oh, and this is important. It's about the three prohibitions of the 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 the 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." She spoke as Minato smiled behind her. "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 that I could stay with you longer. I love you. Minato, I'm sorry I used up your time."
With a shake of his head, the man spoke, "Oh, it's okay. Naruto, My message to you is... I guess it's the same as you nagging mother's." He spoke, the red head crying heavily as blood seeped harder from their mouths. "Eight Signed Seal." And with those words, Minato, Kushina, the battle, and the Kyuubi, it was all over. Ended with those single words.
"Goodbye... Minato... Kushina... Rest In Piece..."
I'm finishing this chapter on that note. This chapter doesn't rewrite much of the story as Madara's/Zetsu's Naruto will as this progresses. I kind of botched everything between the Tobi fight and Sealing because my source cut out what happened between those two events! Can you believe that? Anyway, the 'New Naruto' as I want to call him, Is basically what I believe Madara may be. A combination of a Zetsu clone and Dna. Though New Naruto's Dna is exactly the same as the Originals there are a few differences as there will be one or two extra Dnas, but no more than that, trust me.
Also, just to make sure everyone's clear, New Naruto will not be following in Anime/Manga Naruto's step as the Orange Wearing everybody will accept me shoes. That's the point of this story. I kinda got it from that bullshit show Young Justice. I watched it for a while, didn't, tried to again, found out they jumped five year to the next series, went online, learned the Red Arrow was a clone and a 'mole' so to speak. That's kinda how this Naruto is.
Well, until next time, peace be with you and god bless you all.
