I'm posting this to get some feedback on it and I'd just like to warn you this story will only get updated every so often because I don't have much time to write and my stories beast of Heroes and Child of wisdom and the sea have priority since they came first. Now enjoy!
Chapter 1
Hiashi POV
A loud roar pierced the sky quickly followed by another "Hurry!" I shouted risking a look behind me, the two tailed beasts were still a good ways away but I didn't want to take any chances. Just as the sun was setting both the Nine tailed fox and the two tailed wolf appeared (I wasn't sure if it was a wolf or cat so I chose wolf, if I'm wrong sorry but get over it.) and started attacking konoha and most of my clan's ninja had gone off to fight it. I myself wanted to as well but my duty was to first make sure my clan got to safety.
Finally we got to the last group which included my wife and our six month old daughter, despite my best efforts Cana had refused to go for the same reason as me. Just as we were about to leave Minato Namikaze appeared next to us with little bundle in his arms "Lord Fourth, what's going on?" I asked "I thought the Nine tails was sealed in Kushina." this wasn't common information but the two of us were very close friends, although not quite as close as Kushina and Mikoto Uchiha.
"He was" Minato said gravely "we were attacked by a masked man when Kushina was in labor and the seal was weak, once the Nine tails was released he summoned the two tailed wolf and placed them under some kind of genjutsu"
"Is there anything I can do to help" I asked. He nodded
"There is but you're not going to like it" he said handing me a piece of paper "this is my Will incase I die but that's not the part you're not going to like, I need to take Hinata with me".
"You're right I don't like it." I said unconsciously stepping in front of my wife and daughter "Why do you need her".
"Each tailed beast's chakra is one of the five base natures and in order to seal them the jinchūriki must have that nature and be under a year old, since Hinata is a Hyuga she's a match for the wolf's water type." he said.
"What about your son" I challenged. Minato shook his head "Neither me nor Kushina has that nature so Naruto can't." he said "Besides he'll be the Nine tails jinchūriki".
"What about Kushina" I asked but immediately regretted as I saw the pained look on his face.
"Kushina's seal has been broken she'll be lucky to make it until sunrise". I understood the reasons but I couldn't make the decision but I didn't have to.
"Bring her back safely." Cana said stepping past me.
Minato POV
"I'll protect her with my life." I said before using my Flying thunder jutsu to place myself in the two demon's path. "Minato…" My wife said walking out of the woods.
"What are you doing here" I asked/yelled.
"We both know I'm going to die and if I'm going to die it's going to be defending my family." she said pinning the Nine tails with her chakra chains. I felt sorry for her, over the last five years she had developed a sibling like relationship with the Nine tails and now she was forced to restrain him as he thrashed about in a genjutsu induced rabid state.
I used the Flying thunder jutsu to summon a 2 small cushions on raised pedestals. Placing Naruto and Hinata on their respective pedestals I started sealing the wolf into Hinata using the Zodiac seal. This type of seal took a long time create but was by far the strongest seal I knew, starting with Leo the lion I began the tedious task of drawing the seal with my own chakra.
20 minutes later Hinata's seal was finished and the wolf was safely contained. 'just a few more minutes' I thought which ended up being a jinx as my wife cried out. "Out…of chakra" she said before slumping to the ground, as Kushina's chakra chains disappeared the Nine tails made a wild slash at Naruto. I threw myself in front of his claw in a desperate attempt to stop it and to my surprise it did, by all accounts I should have had almost no effect.
"Minato" the Nine tails said "seal me, I won't be able to hold him off for long, hurry" if I had the strength to spare I would have nodded in affirmation.
Seeing as I didn't have much time and there was a giant claw through my chest I used the Eight Trigrams Seal, as the Nine tail disappeared into the seal my wife spoke up "Kurama take care of my son".
"I will Sister I promise." he said.
Sarutobi POV
The two demons may have disappeared but I didn't want to take any chances. As I ran Hiashi Hyuga caught up to me "The others are on their way" he said. When we reached Minato lay on his side in a pool of blood and Kushina was sitting with her back to a tree.
Me and Hiashi checked Minato's vitals but he was already gone "Sarutobi" a Kushina said weakly.
"Yes" I said softly kneeling by her side.
"Please bring me Naruto, I want to hold him at least once before I die" she asked, Hiashi gently picked him up and brought him over, "I love you Naruto" She said. We waited for a few minutes till we realized that Kushina had in fact passed away.
The two of us each used our clan robes as shrouds for the two fallen heros, I took a crying Naruto in my arms and Hiashi picked up the little girl "your daughter?" I asked looking at the jinchūriki.
"Yes" he said in the classic clam Hyuga manner "Sarutobi could you promise me something". I nodded "don't tell anyone Hinata's a jinchūriki, as the Hyuga clan heiress she'll have a dangerous enough life, she doesn't need this too".
Hiashi left to take his daughter home just before the ANBU arrived "call the village council" I said to Crow before having the rest help move Minato and Kushina's bodies.
Third Person POV (Later that Night)
The Village council was made up of the Hokage, the clan leaders, the village elders, and several civilian representatives "Well now that everyone has arrived let's begin" Sarutobi said. "I called this meeting to..".
"What happened to the tailed beasts!" a civilian representative shouted.
Sarutobi was annoyed by the young man's outburst but decided to overlook it due to the circumstances "From what I understand the two tails was defeated by the fourth and the Nine tails has been sealed inside his newborn son Naruto, sadly he died in the process of doing so".
"For the sake of the village we need to kill the demon now." Maru said (village elder) calmly.
"Absolutely not" Fugaku Uchiha shouted "Naruto is last surviving member of the Uzumaki clan and one of the last two members of the Namikaze clan".
"That child is a demon that killed nearly 200 people".
"Naruto is not a demon, he is my godson and therefore a member of my clan, if any of you make an attempt on his life the Uchiha will consider it an act of war". That declaration gave the council pause but most didn't give it much thought as the entire village could handle a single rebellious clan.
Seeing this Hiashi spoke up "Should it come to that the Uchiha will have the full support of the Hyuga" many were surprised to say the least considering the rivalry of the two clans but accepted it knowing Hiashi had been close with the fourth. The real reason Hiashi sided with them however was because he couldn't help but picture Hinata in Naruto's place.
"The Inuzuka clan will also side with the Uchiha" Tusme Inuzuka (Kiba's mom) added.
"Fine it can stay" Maru said.
"But you will not be taking him in" Danzo said "I will not risk putting something like that in your hands".
"He's my godson!" Fugaku shouted.
"Who also contains a demon you could easily control with your sharingan." Danzo replied "Those are your two options, either you give him up or I will kill him myself if I have to to protect this village".
Fugaku calmly sat back down in his chair "If I give him up what will happen to him" he asked.
"Since no orphanage will take him in we'll provide an apartment for him to stay in and pay his needs and we'll have volunteers take care of him till he can take care himself" Danzo said.
"Fine" Fugaku said growled before the rest of the council moved on to how best to rebuild.
Fugaku POV
After the meeting I went home and found that my wife Mikoto had decided to wait up for me. "So how did the meeting go?" she asked.
"Minato and Kushina are dead." I said flatly, there was no way to sugarcoat it so I didn't bother trying.
Mikoto nodded like she had expected it but I could still see tears in her eyes "and Naruto?".
"He's alive but Danzo won't let me take him." I said.
"What! How could you let that happen." she shouted.
"I tried everything I could!" I shouted back for once letting my emotions get the better of me. "Minato sealed the nine tails in Naruto, I had to threaten them with war just stop from outright killing him". I took several deep breath to calm myself before continuing "Naruto has been given an apartment to live in a few blocks from here and Sarutobi pulled me aside after the meeting, I'm in charge of selecting Naruto's caretakers" I said letting the smallest hint of a smile grace my lips "the position is yours if you want it".
"You found away around the council's ruling." Mikoto said hugging me.
"I guess Minato rubbed off on me more than I thought." I said.
"There's a few other things you should know, first the third has deemed Naruto's heritage an S ranked secret to protect him. He's been given his mother's maiden name to help protect him from his father's enemies. When Naruto turns 16 he'll be told of his heritage and receive his inheritance. And lastly the third has also added a law against telling the next generation and beyond about Naruto having the nine tails sealed in him. If anyone brakes either of these two laws it'll be considered treason and punishable by death".
Sarutobi POV
After the meeting ended I placed Fugaku in charge of Naruto's well being and sent him on his way having done as much as I could for him. For the next hour I sat back behind my old desk telling everyone from ANBU to Genin what had happened, at least the portion they were cleared to hear. Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Kakashi were the only people in the whole village that were allowed to know the truth.
Tsunade came in with a group of Jounin so I couldn't tell her outright, but the other three did learn. Two day's later I saw Tsunade at the mass funeral for everyone who died, but I wasn't able to talk to her. She left that night and I sent Jiraiya after her to tell her the truth but after 10 months I had to call him off to perform missions.
