On October 10th, the most powerful demon in the elemental nations known as the Nine-Tails Fox attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. The village's shinobi force tried their best to defeat this monstrous beast, but lost their lives in the process. Only one man could defeat this monstrous beast. Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, the Yellow Flash, and the Dark Knight Sparda. As the beast destroyed his beloved village, he was standing atop a small cliff, one of the many cliffs overlooking the Village Hidden in the Leaves. In his hands was Beatrice, the first and only child between himself and his now deceased second wife, Kushina Uzumaki. Tears in his eyes, he knew what he had to do to his own friend. He laughs at himself as he realizes he is silently praying that Kami will forgive him for what he is about to do his own friend and his daughter.
"Evacuate the village," ordered the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi also known as the God of Shinobi. Shinobi from the various clans tried their best to evacuate the civilians, but the effort was in vain as the Nine-Tails quickly destroyed a huge part of the village, killing hundreds. "You, monster!" shouted a random shinobi, attacking the enormous beast with a Grand Fireball Jutsu. The Nine-Tails ignored the attack and swiped its claw at the shinobi. His swipe was blocked by Sandiame's staff as the shinobi retreated to allow the Sandaime to retreat himself. "Damn it," thought Hiruzen as he dodged another swipe," Where is Minato?" He didn't have time to think about it as he could see a ball of energy gathering in front of the Nine-Tails' mouth. "Shit!," Hiruzen thought as he watched in horror," A tailed beast bomb." As every shinobi prepped for the end of the world, the Nine-Tails launched its attack. The attack decimated abandoned buildings as it headed towards the last safe area in the village. Then, it disappeared. Everyone was shocked. "Where did it go?" Hiruzen thought as he looked around for any signs of the attack. "I teleported far away from here," said a voice. Hiruzen turned around to see his successor. "Minato, what are you going to do?" Hiruzen asked.
"I'm going to seal the Nine-Tails into my daughter," Minato answered, walking towards the Nine-Tails.
"Are you crazy?!" Hiruzen shouted, but he noticed the tears falling down Minato's face.
"I'm sorry, but it is the only way," Minato said as he teleported. Sandaime could only nod as he looked towards the location of the Nine-Tails.
Minato teleported in front of the Nine-Tails. "Hello, old friend," Minato greeted, looking up. The Nine-Tails said nothing as it tried to crush Minato with its hand. Suddenly, the Nine-Tails was forced back by a sudden outburst of power as Minato shed his human form. In Minato's place was a demonic being covered in flames with clawed hands, a pair of downward facing horns, chiropteran wings with beetle-like wings underneath, and a scaly hide. The Nine-Tails recovered and ,failing to recognise the power, charged Sparda. Knowing the consequences between a fight between two powerful demons, Sparda allowed the Nine-Tails to hit him as a way of locking his opponent in the same spot. As soon as he grabbed onto the hand of the Nine-Tails, Sparda teleported them to a far away forest.
The Nine-Tails was not expecting this sudden change and this gave Sparda a few seconds to punch the Nine-Tails to give him space to summon his word. The Nine-Tails was only fazed by this powerful punch and charged Sparda, preparing to strike down Sparda. Dodging the attack, Sparda used this opportunity to cut off one of the nine tails to drain the Nine-Tails chakra. Enraged, the Nine-Tails attacked Sparda faster than before. Unfortunately, Sparda was not prepared for this onslaught and was hit multiple times. Sparda was not heavily injured, but was knocked back several meters, allowing the Nine-Tails to prepare another tailed beast bomb. Realizing the danger of such an attack, Sparda channeled his demonic energy through his blade. Focusing, he swiped downward to unleash a slash of pure demonic energy, which cut the tailed beast bomb and another tail. The Nine-tails was infuriated by this and unleashed another barrage of attacks. Sparda was prepared for this and dodged every single one of the attacks. He was not expecting for the Nine-Tails to shoot a mini-tailed beast bomb at point-blank range. This pushed the two opponents apart, heavily injuring the Nine-Tails and Sparda. Sparda and the Nine-Tails both engaged in combat.
As the battle raged on, Sparda cut off 3 more tails, resulting in the huge decrease of chakra that the Nine-Tails had available. Seeing this was the only opportunity, Sparda prepared the ritual for the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. The Nine-Tails was trying its best to recover, but its chakra was drained and its body was littered with huge injuries. "Hello, Sparda," greeted the voice of the Shinigami.
"Greetings, Lord of the Dead," Sparda greeted, bowing.
"What is it you seek to do?" the Shinigami asked.
"I wish to seal the Nine-Tails inside my daughter," Sparda answered.
"Do you know the consequences of such an action?" the Shinigami inquired.
"I do," Sparda said.
"I shall grant you your wish," the Shinigami agreed," Where is your daughter, so I may grant your wish?" Sparda bowed once again and teleported to location of his daughter. As he picked her up, he smiled at her sleeping face. Once again with tears in his eyes, he teleported back to the location of the Shinigami and presented her to the Shinigami. The Lord of the Dead took the baby and spoke" Daughter of Sparda, I bestow upon the soul and power of the Nine-Tails. I pity the burden you will be forced upon for that I shall bestow you a gift. You shall be able to wield the blade of the dead." Sparda sighed, knowing the burden his daughter shall be forced upon because of her own father. He has once again failed as a father. "Are you ready?" the Shinigami asked.
"Yes, I am," Sparda answered. As the Shinigami and Sparda looked towards the Nine-Tails, the both spoke at the same time," Greatest of the tailed beasts, you shall be one with the daughter of Sparda as punishment of the horrendous crimes you have committed. I pray you will find peace in the future." The Nine-Tails was grateful for this as it was finally free from his control. As the Nine-Tails was slowly being sealed, it transformed to reveal a beautiful woman. Sparda smiled and hugged the woman. "Please forgive me," the woman said as tears were falling down her cheek. Sparda wiped the tears away and said," I already have. You will be free one day. Never forget that." Sparda kissed her cheek and stepped back to watch her to slowly be sucked into his daughter.
As Sparda watched his friend being sucked into his daughter, he started coughing up blood. He was in excruciating pain as he kept on coughing up blood. "This is the price you will pay," the Shinigami explained," Since I cannot take your soul, I will take away the time you could have had with your daughter and through the first eighteen years of her life, your own blood will be slowly poisoning you. You will not die as your healing factor will heal you before you can die."
"I ~cough~ un~cough~der~cough~stand~cough cough~," Sparda replied. He soon teleported to the only safe place he could of. His old home, the home he lived with Eva and his sons Dante and Vergil. His daughter was left, crying with no one to comfort her until a grey skinned women with purple cat-eyes, lips and hair with a large purple jewel on her forehead, elven ears, wearing a long black gown with purple laces and a black and Amethyst staff appeared in a cloud of black smoke. This woman was the demon witch, Malice. As she gazed upon the child of her beloved leader, she found a note on the baby. "To Malice, I know I have given a difficult task to do, but I beg of you to care for my daughter, Beatrice. If you wish to change to conceal her identity, i understand, but use the last name Uzumaki as her last name in memory of her late mother. Tell her about her full heritage when she is of age. You don't have to worry about establishing an identity as I have already done so. You shall be my long-lost mother, who has returned to see her family. Please protect my daughter. Sincerely, Sparda known here as Minato Namikaze."
"Sparda, you old fool," Malice muttered as she changed her appearance to look more humane. She picked up the baby, just as the Sandaime and several other shinobi came. "Who are you?" the Sandaime asked.
"I am Akeko Namikaze, mother of Minato Namikaze," Malice answered. Everyone was shocked to find Minato's mother here of all places.
"Where are sensei and the Nine-Tails?" asked Kakashi Hatake, the Copy-Cat Ninja.
"Minato managed to seal the Nine-Tails into his daughter as you can see before you at the cost of his life," Akeko explained, changing the fact that Minato was still alive. Everyone was in shock. Their beloved Fourth Hokage was dead. "Kill the child," yelled a random shinobi. Next thing anyone knew, the shinobi was dead as his head exploded. "No one is going to touch my grand-daughter while I'm still around," yelled Akeko, enraged. No one dared to speak, afraid to incur the wrath of the mother of the Fourth Hokage.
"I understand," Hiruzen said," As much as I hated to see such a young shinobi dead, I understand your rage and I will help you."
"Thank you," Akeko responded, bowing her head towards Hiruzen.
"What is her name?" Hiruzen asked.
With a smile, Akeko answered," Naruko Uzumaki."
