"This is madness!" exclaimed one very pissed off blond Hokage.
"This is the only possibility left open to us," said the Sandaime.
"There has to be another way!"
"There is not."
"Damn it! I won't allow this to happen to my son!"
"Can you even consider asking anyone else?"
"…"
"I'm sorry… but this is the only way to ensure the survival of this village."
All was not peaceful in the village of Konohagakure. The outskirts of said village were being torn asunder by the greatest of the tailed beasts – the Kyuubi. While within the Hokage tower two individuals – the Yondaime Hokage and retired Hokage Sarutobi were restlessly trying to come up with a plan to stop the carnage of the nine-tailed fox demon. The results of their planning brought them an answer, but unfortunately, neither of them liked what they found.
"I… just can't do this," said the Yondaime, "I can't do this to my son! I can't do this to my wife…"
"Azuma-kun! You must think of the village!" said Sarutobi.
"AT THE COST OF MY OWN FAMILY?!" yelled Azuma, "If I do this… I'll leave little Naruto to bear the burden of the most powerful of bijuu sealed within him. He'll have no father. His mother would probably die from all the stress! You know she gave birth just a few hours ago-"
"YOU ARE THE HOKAGE DAMN IT!" yelled back Sarutobi, "You have a responsibility to protect this village with your life! Now get your act together. I know that this isn't an easy decision… but what choice do we have?"
"… I know, but that doesn't mean I have to like what we're stuck with in a situation like this," sighed Azuma.
"…"
"…"
"Please forgive me for eavesdropping, but I may have a solution to your dilemma."
Startled, both men turned towards the man who just made his presence known.
"Fugaku-kun!" exclaimed Azuma. "You were listening in on us?"
"Yes, but we can discuss the ramifications of that later on" said Uchiha Fugaku – the head of the Uchiha clan. "As it is, we are short on time so I'll get straight to the point. You plan on sealing the Kyuubi no Kitsune, but the only container strong enough to withstand the shock of that… thing's chakra entering into their system is that of a newborn child."
"So… you heard that much eh?" said Azuma.
"Indeed, but instead of using your own son as the container… I offer you… an alternative" said a solemn Fugaku.
"An… alternative?"
"Yes…"said Fugaku, whose activated Sharingan were slowly spinning, "My newly born son – Uchiha Sasuke."
Author's Note: So, what do ya think? This is my first shot at writing a fanfic. This started as a random plot bunny bouncing around my head and now here it is. I plan on continuing this fic, so if anyone cares, there's more to come! This fic will be super AU btw. I consider all fanfics to be AU, just differing on how much. :P This will be off cannon so much, that stuff will happen. Yes. Stuff. The horror.
