Hmm...how to start......well I have recently started writing fanfiction. So I am not really good at it. The idea for this particular fic was given to me by a friend of mine Jinsokuichi, and I loved it. He asked me to write novel length fiction on this one, and I just thought that it was worth a shot, so please bear with me!! :).

Kyuubi

Jutsus

___________________________________________________________________________

Of all Bijuu in the world, it had to be Kyuubi, the strongest of all the tailed beasts, one whose mighty tails could cause Tsunamis and crumble mountains. All that he could think was that the nearer that fox gets to Konoha, the more difficult it would become to stop it. As a leaf nin, and added to it his duty as the fourth Hokage, he couldn't let any harm be inflicted on Konoha.

But, what amazed Minato the most was that never in the history of Konoha did Kyuubi attack like this. So either he was provoked by something or someone was controlling it. The only ones who had the power of controlling Bijuu like Kyuubi were Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara, the two who together founded Konoha. But it was impossible, because it had been more than 50 years since they lived. So that means someone provoked it, or someone found a way to control it. In either case, who?

He was sitting in his office going through all the seals to develop something to subdue the nine-tails, and finally when he was about to leave, a medic came rushing in.

"Hokage-sama, your wife is going through labor; the child will be born soon."

As soon as he heard this, Minato rushed to the nearby tent, where kushina was being attended by some medics. He was stopped at the tent entrance by a medic,

"You cannot go in Hokage-sama, Lady Kushina is in labor right now, you will have to wait."

It was frustrating, but Minato complied. After half an hour, a child's cry could be heard from inside. Minato's eyes lit up, and as he readied himself to go inside, a medic nin came out.

"Hokage-sama, the baby was delivered successfully, but due to high stress and blood loss, lady Kushina could not survive...." before he could finish, Minato rushed in the tent, only to see the still and cold body of his wife, and a small child wrapped in white sheets.

"So this is my son, eh? Wow, we both look so much alike! So my boy, guess you have to be named now. How does Naruto sound?" the baby chuckled at this. "So you like it huh? I knew you would, Naruto was the name of the hero of my sensei's first book, and I want you to become just like him, will you?"

"He is your son Minato, of course he will turn out to be a great Shinobi and a hero, like his father."

A voice came from behind, and Minato spun around to find Hiruzen Sarutobi standing behind.

"I am sorry about Kushina, Minato. I know you loved her beyond limits. Kyuubi's attack had already put her under great stress, and going under labor had burdened her even further." After few moments, Minato spoke, "Thank you for you kind words, Sarutobi-sama, she was indeed under a lot of stress. But now, she can rest.

Hiruzen cast sad eyes on his successor, for such a thing to happen right now…it was just too cruel. However, there was a grave issue at hand and there will be time to mourn after.

"Have you found a way to stop the beast?" Hiruzen asked.

"I think there is one way to stop kyuubi, but for that, my life should be sacrificed, and I need a new born child too. The technique has to be used with Shiki Fuujin. I will call the jutsu Hakke no Fuuin Shiki. Also, I will use this jutsu in conjunction with my Shishou Fuuin.I think it can easily be branded as an S-rank Kinjutsu ougi."

Sarutobi just stared.

"Did you say you need to sacrifice yourself?! That's...no...You can't do that Minato, surely there must be some other way."

"No, there is no other way out of this. I have to make sacrifices from my part. The required new born in whom I will seal that fox, I have decided that Naruto will fulfill that role. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY!" Minato yelled as Hiruzen opened his mouth to retaliate, "I can't ask a villager to sacrifice his child and get Kyuubi sealed in him. Also, the seal will help Naruto by giving him access to unlimited chakra reserves of Kyuubi."

Minato looked up from his son in his arms with tears staining his cheeks and a broad smile on his face as he placed him in a cradle.

"Besides, he is my son, who could possibly be more suited," he walked towards the tent opening and stopped, "Now I must go, before Kyuubi inflicts further damage, we have already lost most of our Shinobi."

He gave a last look to his son.

"I am sorry Naruto, I know what I am doing is not what an ideal father would do. Perhaps you may understand one day why I did this. I just hope that you will be treated as the hero you are by Konoha; carrying a burden like the one I m going to put on you at such small age is something no one can do....I love you my son."

With this he left the tent, leaving Naruto under Sarutobi's care.

Meanwhile in the woods outside Konoha

A person clad in black cloak was sitting in shadows watching the Kyuubi as it destroyed everything in his way and heading towards Konoha. "Heh, these Konoha Shinobi are having such a tough time handling this little fur ball, and to think I am controlling it so easily...it's good to see that my old skills haven't faded after so much time."

"It's getting boring now. I think Kyuubi was more than enough to handle them. Hmph, I had expected that the village I established would at least have some Shinobi that would meet my standards. Guess I was wrong."

He looks up again with Sharingan spinning in the eye.

'Yes, destroy everything in your way, finish of this blasted village of Konoha. Take my revenge, for my humiliation, my banishment, for making me hide in shadows. Make them pay. Yes...Kyuubi no kitsune...as my servant, complete my orders."

With that he smiled a wicked smile as Kyuubi swung its tail, killing a few more shinobi. They were like flies to his power.

But his smile soon faded as he saw a huge toad rise in front of the Kyuubi, with a young blonde man standing upon its head. Madara immediately recognized him.

"Namikaze Minato, the Yondaime Hokage, huh? So you finally decide to show yourself. Let's see what you can do."

Despite his words he knew it could be trouble; the Yondaime Hokage was a master of seals and a true genius. He was in a totally different league compared to other Ninja.

'Finish that blonde Hokage my servant; he will be a hurdle in our objective. Show him that no one can challenge the great Kyuubi and its master. KILL HIM!"

In front of Kyuubi

Konoha's Yellow flash stood on the head of the toad boss Gamabunta, his eyes shining with sadness and determination. He had to stop the demon in front of him, and protect Konoha and its people. He started planning his next move, when suddenly he noticed something. The demon seemed as if it was hypnotized, which disturbed him.

"Somebody is controlling it, but whom?"

His eyes searched for its controller, but he could see no one. That did not change his thoughts though, besides Senju Hashirama, the only ones capable of controlling a Bijuu, were the uchiha, but none of them in the village was powerful enough to do that. That left only one likely suggestion.

"It can't be, how is he still alive? But as insane as it may seem, it seems he is alive as I am, but how?"

But he couldn't let his mind linger on that matter, so he decided to concentrate on the Kyuubi.

"Okay, It's now or never"

"Hakke no Fuuin Shiki!!!!"

"Well my time has come, and I will soon join you Kushina. Goodbye sensei, Hiruzen-Sama, and everyone in Konoha. Goodbye Naruto, you are going to become a hero even when you are in your diapers." He mentally chuckled at this.

As Shinigami consumed his soul, half the red chakra which belonged to Kyuubi went inside the tent and got sealed into Minato's son and the other half with him to be consumed by the shinigami, until the Kyuubi finally vanished.

In the woods outside Konoha

"NO!!!!" the forest echoed with his scream. "Damn you Yondaime, you spoiled the whole thing. My revenge, you foiled it!!" he cursed.

The killing intent flowing through Madara could make even a root ANBU wet his pants. Fury was what he felt, pure and unbridled rage. After all, his well planned revenge was brought to a halt by that 'squirt of a Kage'.

"I will destroy Konoha, no matter what. And nobody will stop me this time, do you hear that Hashirama and Namikaze? NOBODY!!!"

So, how was it? Good or bad? I for one think this prologue was ok type.

Please do point out any mistakes, be it grammatical, or factual, or anything. To tell you the truth, for academics purpose my English is really good, but outside that, it's a bit average. In fact I am doing this "fic writing" to make myself better in English. After all, my aim is to study law in London, and for that I have only two years. Lol. Now, enough with my idiotic, "I have to learn English", ranting.

Ja!!
