October 10th 4th Year 4th Era
The devastation left in the wake of the attack from the nine tailed Bijuu was widespread even though it did not last for long. The civilian and main residential districts of Konoha were hit the hardest out of the rest. Due to the reason that is where the fox appeared at first when it burst through the village's walls. However, thanks to the efforts of the third Hokage the damage was kept in check somewhat as the Kyuubi was lured back to the village walls after it rampaged into the village. The Demon was then lightly contained with additional help form the fourth Hokage, Uchiha Mikoto, who was fresh of maternity leave from having her second son. Letting the aging former Hokage breath a small sigh of relief when she arrived with a large contingency of backup ninja when the all clear was given when the last sweep of the village revealed no immediate civilians lingering in the streets.
When the first report came to the Yondaime Hokage she was immediately worried for her best friend and Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi, Uzumaki Kushina. While the Sandaime Hokage was having similar worries though for much more personal reasons knowing that his wife was the acting midwife for the woman. Though those thoughts were set aside when the Kyuubi readied the most devastating attack the planet has ever known, the Bijuu Dama. As the demon was about to launch the attack the Hokage saw something that brought both great hope and a terrifying realization to the woman almost making her stop dead in her tracks. The Kyuubi's eyes perfectly resembled the Sharingan. While her body began to react on it's own her mind raced with what everything present so far could mean. Kushina was attacked during her birth and at worst dead, the only way the Kyuubi could have eyes like that means it was being controlled by a Sharingan wielder, and to top it off she had only one thing she could do to prevent the village from complete destruction. But what got at her the most is that only one sharingan wielder was ever strong enough to control a bijuu as strong as the nine tailed fox, Uchiha Madara.
With no real time to think about the possibly infinite implications such a thing meant she did the only thing that had a chance at working. She dumped as much chakra as she dared into her eyes shifting her them into the Mangekyou state and hoped that her Tsukuyomi was even a fraction as strong as Madara's. As if sensing the change in power and the threat of one of the humans before it the nine tailed beast instinctively locked eyes with the target and then realized the mistake as it saw those kind of eyes. Ready to launch the fully charged chakra bomb the Kyuubi aimed the attack at the human and fired. Though as soon as the demon followed through they felt the genjutsu collapse around them as the human they were looking at was instead made of stone and far away. Enraged even further mentally but unable to do more than continue to attack wildly the demon almost missed a flash of yellow appear on the nose of the stone bust of the fourth Hokage.
The Hokage sighed in both relief and despair as the tailed beast bomb flew over everyone's heads and went soaring at the village monument. The relief coming from the feeling that she spared her village what easily could have been irreparable damage. Though the immediate feeling of despair came in when she felt the hot blood streaming down the left side of her face and the feeling of her chakra nearly emptied as her eyes shifted back to a near solid black out of instinctive preservation. Though she knew though what control she had for those small two seconds that the attack was barely over half ready and would at best destroy the monument and the surrounding forest behind it, She had almost no chakra left and was now only able to command the village's ninja forces tactically. What truly hurt her the most and caused a silent, though short, stream of tears to fall from her right eye, that no one saw thankfully, was that she knew without at least possibly seriously damaging her body with the still somewhat untested chakra pills created by the Akimichi. There was not a single thing she could do herself to save her best friend if she still lived and even worse still her two sons and how young Sasuke would never know her and how she would never see either of them grow up.
As the attack was about to connect with the monument the yellow flash that was only noticed previously by the nine tailed fox was actually a blond ninja appearing who quickly began to perform a jutsu that was as odd to describe as it looked. As everyone tracked the attack and most wincing in preparation for the detonation until it was halted in its place by what could only be described as a sealing array that spread out wider than the attack that then begun absorbing the attack before it completely disappeared. There was stunned silence for a few heart stopping seconds even the massive demon fox was not attacking before the night sky was bathed in the distant glow of a massive explosion that mimicked the light of the coming dawn then the sound of it came a moment later and the fourth Hokage's blood went cold. Even at half strength that would have decimated the entire village and all she could do was have it point away from the bulk of the village. She felt so weak in front of the strongest demon alive today and she hated it knowing that only 3 generations ago an Uchiha could handle this demon single handedly.
A loud rumbling growl of warning and irritation brought everyone's undivided focus back to the Kyuubi. Though, the eyes of the Bijuu were locked onto one spiky haired blonde blue eyed elite jounin who was crouched down on the end of its muzzle. When the rest of the gather shinobi took notice of the man they saw the man's mouth move along with the subsequent increased glare from the demon fox then both of them vanished.
With a titanic poof of chakra smoke both the Bijuu and whom could only be known as Namikaze Minato appeared a ways from the village of Konoha in a random part of the vast forests of Fire Country. Though the rapid change in location did not phase Kyuubi in the slightest as it swiped its paw across its muzzle forcing the jounin to leap out of the way. As he went through the air he saw the eyes of his opponent slowly shift from rounded pupils to very very angry slitted ones. The man decided to take advantage of the moment when the demon clearly shifted into a stance clearly meant for combat on a higher cognitive level than the mindless thrashing using only brute strength and went through the required hand seals for a summoning. While the man descended another huge poof of chakra smoke appeared dissipating round a brown and red striped toad rivaling the size of the bijuu in bulk with the blond perched upon the boss level toad summon.
Though it seemed as the battle would be far away from any small town or village a red haired woman was running up with a tiny bundle of cloth that could only have a baby inside it. Though, looking at the woman's haggard appearance and the haste of the bundle's wrapping a newborn. Holding the cloth in her teeth to free up her hands as she bounded through the treetops to the impending battle site she made one hand sign then vanished in a swirl of leaves. She then reappeared between the two opposing forces as if to stop them from combat facing the bijuu one hand holding the bundle while the other was spread out to her side as if to stop the demon from advancing. It was then that a masked man appeared behind the blonde who was surprised and distracted by the battered looking woman's sudden appearance. The elite jounin managed to avoid the attack though the commotion drew the attention of the woman away from the fox. The Kyuubi quickly thinking about what would happen based on what was going on and then unfolding seeing the woman turn her back. The demon didn't hesitate seeing it's freedom and struck.

Ok. So this is my foray back into writing after taking what can easily be called a 10 year break. Now I personally I love the idea of the Naruto world what I hate is how watered down and adolescent kid friendly it is. By that I mean how there is really only Naruto himself being blatantly labeled an orphan when during that Kyuubi attack there should have been dozens of them all like him and possibly being forced into the Ninja life just to survive due to how that world would work realistically. But yeah more author notes to follow with each chapter having just that small bit more of explanation as things go on. Just know for now that the realism that would be in the Nartuo world alone would make it insanely non-cannon just letting you know that before you get any deeper fyi.
