October 10th Twelve years ago…

Namikaze Minato stared out the glass that made up the entire northern wall of the Hokage's office. The scene before him was not what he wished, buildings lay in ruin and blood could be seen from the Tower in which he stood. A soft cough made another known, turning with the carelessness that was becoming of a shinobi of his caliber showed him the form of his old friend and former Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Naruto growled in distaste as he heard his pursuers gaining on him. Slipping around the man, he made a dash for the ally exit only for someone to grab his hood.
