'ROAR'

A roar loud enough to shake the earth was heard outside the walls of the village of Konoahagarue no Sato, The Village Hidden in the Leaves. This was the roar if the Nine-Tailed Demon fox, the Kyuubi no Kitsune and the lord of all bijuu.

"We must hold the line until the Yondaime gets here" One ninja yelled to the others around him. This particular ninja had gravity defying gray hair and a scar running above and below his right eye. In said eye was a red pupil with three black tome, spinning wildly with his heightened emotions as he grit his teeth and struggled to hold his ground. His knees were trembling.

The Kyuubi pounded the ground with each of it's tails, enough force to level the surrounding forest for miles. The mighty Bijuu swiped it's paw across a line of attack leaf nin, killing almost half of the force. None of the attacks seemed to be working on the beast. The young gray haired ninja gestured frantically to his team mates and yelled at them not to lose their nerve.

"Don't back down! Hold your position!" The scar at his eye ached distractingly as he took in the black sky and destruction. Kyuubi roared, the sound tearing through the air and echoing deep inside the shinobi's chest.

"D-don't back down!" He ordered even as the others called his name, demanding they retreat.

"Kakashi! We can't stop this thing!" The younger ninja growled under his breath.

"Just a bit more! The Yondaime will be here soon!"

'Hurry Minato-sensei…'

A few miles away, in a delivery room, a young man with piercing cerulean eyes and shocking yellow hair and a woman with blood red hair and green eyes looked at their new born son. The baby in the woman's arms, tiny and pink, squirmed for a moment and the new parents laughed softly as his features pulled together in a frown and then evened out. The little boy opened his eyes revealing familiar cerulean orbs. Both adults breathed in loudly.

"Look Minato-koi, he has your eyes" the woman breathed, tightening her cradling arms around the child.

The newly identified Minato looked at his wife and smiled, touching her cheek, sweaty and pale from the birth.

"That he does my sweet angel, that he does."

Minato sighed at the thought of what he was going to have to do to save the village he swore to protect as it's leader.

Kushina looked at Minato and noticed the look of pain and self-loathing he had.

Minato-koi, what's wrong honey?" Kushina asked her husband. He looked at her and said on a low voice filled with sadness and many other emotions.

"I know of only one way to stop this fox, and you not going to like it..."

Kushina looked at his in confusion before realization set in.

"No... Not that, please tell me you aren't going to..."

Minato nodded in confirmation and defeat. "I'm going to have to use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the Shiki Fūin."

Kushina nodded, crying silently. A few moments passes as the three were silent, enjoying the last moments they had together as a family.

A giant toad, almost as big as the hokage tower, appeared out of a giant plum of smoke. He was in a red Gi with a large kodiachi sheathed around his middle.

"Holy- What the devil is going on here?"

"Sorry Gambunta, I need your help" Minato said to the giant toad.

Gambunta looked around and saw the fox.

"You want me to fight the kyuubi? Have you lost your mind?" The toad shouted.

"Not fight, just keep him busy so I can use the only jutsu that can stop him," Minato explained, "Please Bunta"

"Fine, I'll do what I can" The toad said. He began to move around the fox, occasionally firing balls of water at it and changing direction.

"Hurry up gaki, I'm running out of chakra"

Minato finished the last seal and looked up.

"Thank you Bunta," He paused to look at his son as he finished the last seal, "Naruto, I hope you find it in yourself to forgive me, I couldn't ask a parent to do what I'm to afraid of doing myself. My son, I will always love you and your mother and will watch over you both. Grow up strong and protect this village and become the greatest shinobi the world has ever seen."

The small babe just looked at his father and cooed, not understanding anything that was happening. Minato looked at the fox and built up his chakra, every last bit he could pull from his body. With tears in his eyes he intoned the jutsu that would end his life and seal away the foxes, at least the yin portion, he was taking the yang with him.

"Shiki Fúin"

With those words a calm quiet fell over the battle field and a ethereal light appeared behind Minato. He was dressed in a black kimono with rips in it, had pale skin and even paler hair and carried a knife in his mouth. This was the Shiningami, the death god.

He grinned evilly as he looked down upon the demon fox. He reached his had through minatos stomach and started to pull the foxes soul out. The fox tries to fight back but it was no use. In a few short seconds the fox was sealed away, the yin portion inside young Naruto, the yang in the death god.

With his last breath, Minato looked at his son.

"Make me proud."

And with those words his world faded to black.
