A/N: To those blessed few who read my other fic Children of the Fire, sorry for not updating in awhile. Been busy... and then I had teh idea for this and it would not let go... Expect a Fire update soon, but my muse demands I write this now. Also... My current Beta/Soundboard is off doing god knows what at the moment so if the grammar quality is crappier then normal forgive me... Also that's a call out to any other betas out there who would be willing to aid in my grammatical quandary (woo fun word right there.) Anyways, this fic is a (very i would imagine) AU, filled with OC who also.. aren't OC (MWAHAHA more on that later) It has a few characters form my other fics albeit in very different roles. There may be slight references to various swords, sword styles and such later on. Nothing big, I've just been watching to much Kenshin so its kinda stuck in my head. Hmm... Enjoy!

Chapter 1

Minato Namikaze, the 4th Hokage of Konoha, was NOT having a good day. In fact, it would be safe to say this was officially the worst day ever for him, and if things went as he planned it would also be the last day for him. He looked out of the hospital window at what he surmised to be a very pissed off demon fox laying waste to anyone and everything in its path. He pondered that for a split second, for all he knew the damn thing was on cloud nine or maybe it was horny, Who knows. Minato realized he didn't really care. He looked down at what should have been the cause of the greatest day in his life, the small blue eyed newborn who stared back at him, oblivious to the going ons of the world outside. The current strongest shinobi in the world smiled at his small child and gave a teary glance at the slowly cooling body of the boys mother and his now dead wife Kushina Uzamaki-Namikaze. He hardened his gaze once again turning to the view of Kyuubi, he glanced briefly at the seal drawn on his son's stomach and grimaced. "Well then... Time to meet the reaper." He said before disappearing in a flash of yellow.

....

Kyuubi, the greatest demon lord alive roared in indignation at the pathetic attempts to slow him down. He was pissed off to teh extreme. Well he was always pissed off, but now he had good reason to be, kinda anyways. There he was not 2 weeks ago happily sleeping in his cave when some pathetic work tried to take control of him. He slammed his tails at the memory of the man with one eye, wearing a spiral mask, killing a good dozen shinobi in the process. A damnable Uchicha had tried to enslave HIM, the mightiest of the mighty. Using a gift he gave them in the first place! The sheer audacity of it all! The 9 tailed demon was set to rectify THAT mistake by leveling all those who wielded what he had given humanity. He would probably never live it down, lord knows the other demon lords would mock him for decades that those bearing his gift turned on him. Well, until he crushed their souls into oblivion anyways. That generally stopped the laughing. He paused as the sound of a thousand birds reached his ears. He looked down to see some brave fool rushing towards him hand covered in blue lightning. The great demon fox snorted and blew the white haired nin backwards, through several trees.

A flicker of yellow caught the great beasts attention. He paused and looked at the sun kissed blond before him, determination etched onto what could have been considered handsome features. The fox narrowed his eyes, as a large puff of smoke signaled the arrival of Gamabunta, the blond riding upon the old toads head. Kyuubi curled his lips in a smiling snarl at the presence of the summon.

Gamabunta's eyes widened, "Minato! What the hell is going on here?"

The blond Hokage sighed mentally, "I would have thought that was evident. I need you to hold him off while I do this..."

"Hold him off, HOLD HIM OFF! ARE YOU INSANE?! THATS THE GODDAMN KYUUBI!" The boss toad screamed at its summoner.

"I KNOW. JUST STALL HIM DAMMIT!" Minato screamed at teh summon.

Kyuubi laughed his tails swirling around him. The sheer 'holy-god-its-laughing-while-killing-us' effect caused all the remaining conscious nin to get the hell out of there and let the Hokage do his thing.

The toad swore as it dodged a sudden stab from one of the 9 tails before it. "Damnit Minato! How long do you need?"

"10 minutes... Yeah that'll work, 10 minutes." After all going through the hand seals to summon shinigami were hard enough. Doing it one handed while holding a baby while riding a giant toad who is dodging a demon fox makes it that much more difficult.

Gamabunta swore under his breath and fired a couple fireballs at the demon only to watch as a tail came up and smacked the away. The fox watched with twisted amusement at teh toads efforts. He cocked his large red head to the side as he observed Minato, carefully watching the long string of seals he was making. Time seemed to stop for the fox, he recognized those, and with the baby in his arms it could only mean one thing. His eyes widened as he roared, fury over taking his senses. And for the first time it yelled at the blonde, the demons voice chilling the most hardened of pyscho paths. "NO I will not let you summon Him! You will NOT!"

Kyuubi leaped forward at the toad who jumped back just in time to receive a deep gash across his eye. The amphibian was knocked back taking out a very large portion of forest. The toad Boss grunted as it stood up on shaky legs looking at the infuriated Demon Fox standing before him. The crimson haired beast shook with pure unadulterated rage.

Minato observed the demon with a calm demeanor, despite the fact it was taking everything he had not to run away screaming. Both him and Gamabunta's eyes widened at the sudden harsh red glow emanating form Kyuubi's mouth. A feeling of raw power swept over them as teh fox let loose the massive build up of power. Minato cursed, nothing, not the gates of Rashoumon, not Gamabunta... Nothing he knew of would be able to prevent his soon to be horrible demise.

The beam seemed to come slow motion towards him, and summoned and summoner braced themselves for their demise. Until a spine chilling shriek, similar to a hawk after it had spotted its prey rang through the forest. The Hokage opened his eyes and gaped at the scene before him. A huge, close to the size of Kyuubi, 8 winged bird was hovering before them, lighting crackling all around the creature. It had seemingly met Kyuubi's blast with one of its own. Both beams of energy slowly dissipated and the bird glanced back at the blond. "THE FUCK YOU WAITING FOR A WRITTEN INVITATION? FINISH WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WERE DOING!"

The Namikaze legend blinked before half nodding and continuing through the seals. Gamabunta's one good eye opened fully. 'Raxxieal? Holy Crap I might get to live through this after all.'

Kyuubi was not impressed. "No damn you! Damnable bird you ALWAYS INTERFERE!" The lord of demons screamed at the new comer.

The giant bird glared at the fox before him. "Take it in the face fuckwad!" Before spewing out more white energy, the beam crackled with lighting as it surged towards Kyuubi.

The demon swore and blocked the oncoming rush of power with several tails. He growled out and charged forward once more taking the fight in close. The only thing Minato and Gamabunta thought as they stayed out of the fight where they were severly outclassed, was how odd it was that close combat between a giant 9 tailed fox, and an equally giant 8 winged bird could be A) possible, and B) manage to look somewhat graceful on both creatures accounts. The battle climaxed as the bird drove beaks into Kyuubi's shoulder, while the demon fox thrust a tail through Raxxieals stomach. Wrenching the white feathered nuisance away the fox once again turned its glare towards the toad and Hokage.

Though in what could be seen as finally a break on the young blonds part he managed to finished the sealing sequence. "Aaaaand done! SHIKI FUUJIN!"

Off on the ground the demon bird had changed his body to a human form. One that had an almost ethereal look to it, shoulder length white hair, silver eyes and his skin had a slight pale glow to it. Two sheathed katanas tied to his side and 2 holstered revolvers (not that anyone in the time period would know what they are) serve as remainders of his origins. The hite Duster jacket and cowboy hat were more of a fashion statement then anything else. His eyes snapped towards the blond Hokage when he heard the cry of Shiki Fuujin. "THAT was his plan? RETARD!" The demon swore clutching the heavily bleeding stomach wound form Kyuubi. HE growled and forced himself to run towards the soon to be dead Hokage.

Kyuubi looked on in horror as the apparition of shinigami appeared behind the blond twit. A shame, it had been such a good day for him so far to... Black rune covered chains shot form the ground pinning 3 of Kyuubi's tails slowly sucking the power from his body. The proud demon screamed at the incoming apparition. "NO! You will not take me! You can NOT TAKE ME. MY EXISTENCE WILL NOT BE DENIED!" He howled in pain and forcibly ejected the captivated tails from his soul and with a cry of pure torment scattered the rest of it. It was harsh, but it was survival. He would find himself revived in about 15 years or so. And he would be back for blood. On that he vowed.

The Death God growled, he had just lost his prey... He was not amused, but continued to seal the 3 tails worth of kyuubi's chakra into the infant in the blond Hokage's arms. He spoke softly, and only Minato and one other could hear him. "I am sorry to tell you... But without the mind of Kyuubi to regulate the power, the boy will die in a matter of hours. Releasing the power anyways..."

Minato dropped to his knees as he felt the small tug of his soul, and life leaving him. "...No.... I failed... Forgive me Kushina..."

At that moment Raxxieal jumped onto Gamabunta's head landing in front of the Hokage. "You fool! What the hell were you thinking shoving a demon lord into a child?!?" He coughed blood and looked down at the wound. It refused to heal, corrupted by the Fox Lord's chakra. One realization came to mind if he was to survive. 'Fuck it all.' He looked at teh dieing man before him, grief evident on the blonds face. The he looked into the eyes of the Shinigami floating behind him. "I want a deal Shinigami."

This piqued the Death god's attention and decided to let the blond who summoned him live long enough to hear what he was sure would be an interesting offer. "Oh? And what would the fallen king of old... The successor of The Phoenix and The FrostGale, the Thunderbird want with me?"

"What else then to cheat death?" The demon smirked slightly. "Seal my soul and my power into the boy. I can regulate Kyuubi's chakra... And hold on to my physical body for me."

"What would I get in return?" The apparition grinned, as much as it could anyways.

"I will train the boy and give him 2 wings of my power... Then we shall hunt down Kyuubi when he returns and give his soul to you... IN exchange for his father here and my body back." Raxxieal said.

"Hmm... I do not guarentee the boy's father... Maybe if you've been good. As for using your body as collateral... How noble of you, and who am I to deny it? Deal... Accepted..." He laughed as he started the sealing process anew.

Raxxieal tweaked the seal on the infant's stomach ever so slightly to allow his mind freedom, and not be in a cage. That and he was not giving the child all of his power... Just what he deemed necessary. As he felt his soul being plucked he looked into teh eyes of Minato Namikaze, who flashed a small smile and whispered, "Thank... You..." And thus the greatest shinobi died. Gamabunta, with a mournful look on his face (mournful as a toad can get at least) was unsummoned in a poof of smoke. Raxxieal looked at the small child he was being sealed into and smiled. "I need to sleep for a while boy... Seeya in a 4 years..." He disapeered in a burst of light and feathers, sucked into the seal on the child's stomach.

........

The newly instated Third Hokabe, Hiruzen Sarutobi ran forward towards the battle site along with a small contingent of ANBU. The sight he was greeted with was the dead body of the 4th cradeling a little blonde haired child with 3 whiskers on one cheek, and the tattoo of a feather on teh other, lyign in a bed of snow shit feathers. "He did it... He sealed Kyuubi..." The aged man whispered softly. ((A/N:HAHA YOU WISH))

One of the ANBU stepped forward, "We should kill the child now and finish the job he started!"

"NO! He wanted the child to be seen as a hero!" The God of Shinobi said picking up the child. "Come here little Naruto... Naruto Uzumaki, our hero..." No one would remember the presence of an 8 winged bird... At least, not yet.

Which arent written anywhere other then a few forums and even then those are out of date. But thats beside the point, this is a Naruto AU first and foremost. Anythign else is soley for kicks on my part. Again i'm self-betaing this chapter so I'm sorry for anything i've missed... If anyone wants to help catch me on Aim at draton282 or MSN on draton1 (at) hotmail (.) com. Please review! It makes me feel loved...

On a side note, hope you all enjoyed that fight. I rarely write them, and when i do never near that length... So i'm proud of it... I just hope it was entertainging... till next time all.

Other side note: What pairing do you want?

I have ideas for: NaruKure, NaruHana, NaruTsunami, NaruTsume and NaruTayu. Like i said, one of those only... Please vote... I may not pick the highest vote but it'd give me an idea as to what people wanna see. It will NOT be a yaoi or NaruHina/Saku as those are all waayyyy over done.
