Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Okami

For those of you who don't know what this is about. If you played Okami you know that the boss Nine-tails had power of the celestial brush as well as Ameraterasu. So maybe if it were sealed into young Naruto he would gain the celestial brush as well…maybe.

"Damn!" the young fourth hokage cursed again as he had to yet again dodge another of the fox's attacks. It was as if the Fox was a god. When ever the shinobis had managed to surround it with fire a sudden gale with the force of a tornado would blow the flames away. Its mere presence had caused rain clouds announced by thunderous roars. Occasionally a lightning bolt would strike a group of shinobis vaporizing them completely. But even more frightening was the fact that these divine powers had no provocation at all by the fox, no roars no stomps or anything.

True enough the fox did infact have powers of a god without being a god. The only thing keeping it from being a true god was the fact that it wasn't actually immortal. But the shinobis of Konoha couldn't tell because their attacks weren't even damaging its fur.

"Pathetic" was the only word in the foxes mind at the moment. These humans had no fight at all. Their 'jutsus' had no attack power against this demon lord. Maybe it would work against measly imps, but certainly not the lord of the long-gone Oni Island. The only thing powerful enough is a god. But so far the fox hasn't yet seen said entity. This village should be level ground for the fox by the end of the day if this is their resistance.

Sadly lady luck has a rather nasty habit to kick where it hurts at the most inopportune moment.

Deciding he had enough the fourth hokage summoned Gama Bunta and decided to prepare his trump card. He knew he would probably need it so the tiny form of a pure soon to be tainted child was on his back. Maybe if he didn't bring Naruto with him he could've fought the fox easier…oh well to late for that.

When the seal was fully prepared he made a giant leap off of Gama Bunta prepared to regrettably seal his own son and the foxes fate. He supposed that the price of his own soul in the Shinigami's stomach wasn't so bad considering the alternative. If he died naturally or got killed there was a chance he would meet his wife in the after life, and if she found out what he did to their son he was utterly screwed beyond belief.

He had already discussed what was to happen afterward with the aged Sandaime the day before when news reached Konoha about the fox heading in their direction. It was agreed that the boy Naruto would have the last name of his mother to protect him from his father's enemies. But also in Minato's mind he had believed that if what was planned had truly taken place then he didn't deserve to have a son in his name.

As he watched the fox scream in anguish as it was being crammed into the navel of a newborn Minato had a sense of foreboding. He had asked the old man if he could have Naruto seen as a hero. Even though the sandaime gave him his word he had the feeling it wouldn't make a difference.

As the fox was finally sealed Minato felt cold and empty. Struggling for his final words he whispered into his son's ear.

"I'm truly sorry about this Naruto" then feeling the embrace of nothingness he allowed himself to finally die.

History had been made as the yondaime had sacrificed his own life and his child's innocence to defeat a great evil that had threatened his village. But is there more to this the just shoving a giant foxes soul into a child's belly? Only time will tell.
