The Twins of the Kyuubi
A/N: Okay, another project to work on while I'm being tortured in College. Based off my friend Dragon-Wolf Tamer's challenge ideas, I decided to come up with this. Oh, and I'm making the Reaper for the death seal be an extension of the Shinigami… a very different extension.
Chapter 1: Reforming the Rules
"Ugh, this day… officially sucks," Minato muttered to himself as he stared at the enraged Demon, "my wife was killed, my son kidnapped, Madara trying to kill me and taking the demon, and now a giant fur ball is destroying the village. This day has been one mishap after another, and it's only my first day of being Hokage."
"RAAAAA!" the demonic Nine-tails roared as he charged a chakra energy blast at Minato, who countered with a chakra barrier. He had to make sure Naruto was alive for the sealing jutsu.
"All right….now let's get ready to do this," Minato said as he flew through the hand signs really quickly, "Sorry about this Naruto….and sorry for not being with you through your childhood….if only I could just stay around to see you grow up."
After completing the hand signs, the spirit of the Reaper came.
"I use up my soul to seal the Kyuubi into this new host body," Minato said and the Reaper nodded. Pulling out his scythe, the reaper gashed open the Kyuubi and Minato. As he easily pulled out Minato's soul, the Kyuubi was slowly being drained into Naruto. As Minato's last thoughts flew by….he remembered his times as a kid, and how great times were back then. What occurred today made growing up a horrible idea….if only he could relive his younger days….maybe to become stronger and stop Madara…
'Sorry son,' Minato thought before his life left his body and he fell dead to the ground next to his son.
In the plain of the afterlife, the Shinigami knew a bunch of new arrivals came into his realm.
"Okay, what's with the sudden flow of dead people right now?" The God asked as he knew he was going to be annoyed finding places to put them all.
"Yo Shini baby," a voice said as Shinigami cringed at the voice.
"Ugh, what now?" The Shinigami groaned as the reaper came into view.
"Bro, I got another sorry sap who performed the Reaper Death Seal," the Reaper said to his brother, "what an idiot. He basically sent himself to hell."
"Whatever," the God of death responded as he then thought of another problem, "what's with the sudden flow of the dead?"
"That furry ball of infinite energy owned those sorry half wits with one hit….taking out a lot of them," the Reaper explained and the Shinigami blinked.
"…Furry ball of infinite energy?" The Shinigami said confused, "Oh, the Kyuubi, now I wondered what Uzumaki Kushina was doing here."
"But this fool had his soul ripped out to trap it in that small pile of flesh they call a baby," the soul reaper said as Shinigami blinked.
"Hmmm….I've actually been thinking for a while," the Shinigami began to speak as his brother played around with the soul he acquired, "A soul for a soul is a fair trade, a death for a death. But a soul for a transfer seems a bit extreme.""
"Wait….it takes you half an eternity to actually rethink your own rules?"
"Eh, I'm a god, I can change them whenever I want," the god of death replied to his brother.
"This is just some plain Bull…damn it brother, why can't you decide half your Ghetto ideas already for once," the reaper shouted as the god of death frowned.
"Okay….you're an extension of me, yet I do not remember speaking like that ever! What happened when I made you?"
"Brother, remember, you wanted to suppress all the different personality types you were getting, and decided to make me out of all those personalities."
"And I now know it was a bad idea to do so," the Shinigami groaned, "And I do not even know of a single person with your personality!"
"It's called mixed personality brother," the reaper said as the Shinigami wondered if a god could be killed.
"Back to the matter at hand," the God of Death started, "I believe a transfer for a transfer seems like the best response to that type of sealing."
"And why is that again?" The Reaper said beginning to bounce Minato's soul like a ball.
"Like I said, a death for a death is fair, but a death for a transfer isn't," the Shinigami reiterated to his brother, "Now, do you see what I'm getting at?"
"But, ripping people's souls are fun," the Reaper declared before Shinigami frowned at him.
"Yeah, but it's a lonely soul. Don't you want someone to keep him company for all eternity in mortal combat," the Shinigami said and the Reaper thought about it for a while.
"Eh, it's probably funnier to watch them fumble around in new forms then playing around with one soul," the Reaper said and Shinigami began to change the terms of the Death Seal for Transfers.
"So….what do we do about Minato?" The Reaper eventually asked as the Shinigami was chanting.
"Since this change happened near his sealing and do to his sealing, I decided that he gets transferred into a new vessel."
"In who!" The Reaper complained and the Shinigami sighed.
"I don't know, send him back to his childhood days for all I care, just get him out of here!"
"Okay bro," the Reaper said and performed another jutsu on the soul.
Back in the still ruined Konoha, the Search and Rescue team were busy sorting through the debris and dead bodies. Most of the first ninja that were sent to hold off the demon were mostly found dead, and others critically injured, or mortally injured.
"This is getting ridiculous," an ANBU member said as he ended the misery of a dying comrade.
"That damn fox destroyed everything," another of them said as he found a trapped citizen under a rock still breathing.
"And even the Hokage was killed," another commented.
"Ugh, this is going to be one grand mess to fix," the last member of the team said before hearing something "is that….crying?"
"Huh?" the other members responded as they also eventually heard the crying, "Okay….that's not a good sign."
"Quick," one said as they quickly moved over to the noise. Though, someone already beat them to the spot.
"So, he did seal away the fox in you," a dog-masked ANBU member said as he lifted up the whiskered and sealed baby that laid next to his dead father, "I'm just wondering if you are able to handle the responsibilities of being a container."
"Ahhh," a crying voice was heard screaming, and Kakashi, the dog-masked ANBU, quickly went over to the next source of crying.
"What the…," Kakashi thought as he looked down. It was another new-born infant. It was a boy with yellow hair, blue eyes, and looked very afraid. Though, as Kakashi looked at it, he noticed the uncanny similarity to Naruto….and even more, the similarity to the Yondaime.
"Oh god, a small infant," some ANBU arrived to the scene, "Someone, take it to the hospital to be evaluated, both of them!"
After being taken to the hospital, it was determined that the first infant was the Yondaime's son, and bared the markings of the Kyuubi on his body. The other one, though, seemed to have no origin.
"Well, that's another secret we have to keep amongst ourselves," Kakashi muttered to his team as he looked over Naruto's bed, "but what do we do with the other brat?"
"Well, we need to give him a name," one member said as he held the other baby in her hands, which was fully awake.
"Someone born from the victory we just experienced," Kakashi said and thought for a while, "why not call him Masaru."
"That is a perfect name, the one born from our victory over the Demon," some of the ANBU said as the word spread quickly through the village about the two kids though. Most saw Naruto as that demon that had to die, while they looked at Masaru as the symbol of their strength. Though, no matter what title they earned, they were now considered orphans. The two were eventually sent to an Orphanage together, and their adventures would eventually begin.
"Wow….that was easy to fool them," the Reaper said as he vanished off to the Afterlife.
Okay, this means I'm now doing all of Dragon-Wolf Tamer's challenges. With all the work we are getting on this end, plus a few stories, I've been busy. But thanks for waiting on something to appear. Read and review, and I hope you enjoyed it.
"Hehe, nope, and if you read this, please review, it looks weird otherwise,"-Dragon-Wolf Tamer
"Oh….right, that last challenge….oh boy." -Dragon-Wolf Omega.
