Chapter 1: Prologue
Streets of Konoha
Screams of terror filled the night as the once proud citizens of Konohagakure no Sato scrambled around in a frenzy. Each person doing everything they could to push another out of the way just to get to safety. The reason for this chaos, you might ask? A 250-foot rampaging demon fox outside of their village.
Everywhere this demon stepped, it left a trail of absolute destruction in its wake. Nothing was left untouched, not a single building, park, or monument. Fires spread, and the earth shook as the fox continued on its path.
The ninja were trying their hardest to combat the disaster, but nothing they could do was enough. Every spare hand was being put to use in some way, shape, or form. Whether it be through civilian evacuation, damage control, or trying to stop the demon itself.
As morale dropped, and all hope seemed lost, a flash of yellow could be seen where the fox stood. And out of a massive cloud of smoke, rose a toad almost as large as the fox itself. Taking a puff from its pipe, the toad looked up to see its summoner, a blonde haired man wearing a distinguishable white coat, with red flames licking the bottom. This man was the Yondaime Hokage, leader of Konohagakure no Sato.
The Yondaime looked down at a small bundle in his arms, then at his summon, and nodded. As the toad began to fight off the fox, the Yondaime began drawing an intricate seal array onto the bundle that he carried.
When the Yondaime was finished with the seal, he looked back up and saw his summon with a bloodied face due to being clawed by the demon. With a final goodbye, the Yondaime began making several hand seals.
Ending with a clap of his hands, the Yondaime looked up into the eyes of the demon terrorizing his home, the Kyuubi no Kitsune no Yoko. With a hardened gaze enough to instil fear into the strongest of opponents, the Yondaime began to draw out the soul of the demon. A clash of will ensued, and though it only lasted a minute, it seemed like a lifetime to the two beings.
As his strength began to fade, the Yondaime took one last pull and separated the soul and chakra of the Kyuubi.
Transferring the chakra to the bundle, the Yondaime began to feel the life leaving him. When his control faltered, a piece of the soul of the demon landed inside of the bundle as well.
Knowing it to be too late to change anything, the Yondaime completed the ritual, and with the last of his strength, he held up the bundle and removed the cloth, showing the face of a baby with three whisker-like scars adorning his cheeks.
'Goodbye, my son... may Konoha treat... you well.'
With those final thoughts, Minato Namikaze, Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, died.
A/N
Hello there everyone, this is my first fic here on FF and I'm not going to have much time to write with finals and all that. I posted this preview to see if anyone likes it. I will see if I continue it or just abandon it and start a new story.
