CHAPTER 1

It was a peaceful night in Konohagakure no Sato (The Village Hidden in the Leaves) when, suddenly, a looming atmosphere filled the air. Everyone heard some loud noises and saw a breathtaking sight. It was something that no one expected to see. The Kyuubi. The one and only.

In the hospital, on that same night of October 10th only 5 minutes earlier, Uzumaki Kushina was in pain. No, extreme pain. So much pain, it was impossible to describe. It was, at the same time, the biggest sacrifice, the world's biggest ticking time bomb, and the miracle of life. Uzumaki Kushina was giving life to her very own kiddo. Apart from herself, the only other people in the room were her husband, Namikaze Minato, also known as The Yondaime ( Fourth ) Hokage or Konoha no Kiiroi Senko. Although he was quite the comforting presence, he couldn't be the only one there. There was also a medic-nin who had introduced herself as Taji and the wife of the ( retired ) Sandaime Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Biwako, who was there to supervise the process because that was no normal birth. No, there was more to Kushina than met the eye. Kushina was a type of person who the rest of the world called a Jinchuurikii ( The power of Human sacrifice ). This meant that Kushina had on her belly a seal. A seal that was currently holding weaker than ever, but still holding, what the humans knew as a natural disaster, the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi was an incredibly large fox and 9 equally large and devastating tails. It was said to be the strongest force of the universe, excepting karma, who we know no one escapes. Everything went fine and Kushina and Minato could finally see their child. They had been waiting for this moment 9 long months. Parents at last. What they certainly didn't expect was the great resemblance to his father, with the same spiky blond mop of hair and his sparkling sky blue eyes. "Congratulations, Hokage-sama. You have a healthy baby boy" Taji said. That was all Kushina and Minato needed to go into " kawaii!" and "OMG!" modes respectively. Taji was about to hand the newborn blondie to them, but she suddenly dropped forward. Like a brick. Only that before she hit the ground, Minato held her. Her head was low. Almost as if... Minato checked her neck for pulse. That was also when he noticed that his son was missing from her arms. And that Taji was dead, but his son was a bigger priority. For now. Then, from the commotion, he didn't hear Biwako say a thing. Fearing the worst, he saw Biwako also dead a few feet further on the floor. And, next to her corpse, there was a man standing with his son in one arm and a kunai dangerously close to his son's head in the other. In a particularly calm and regulated tone, the man said "Hand over the Jinchuurikii or the child dies. Your choice, Minato."

Minato did what anyone else would do: gulp loudly but keep the tough face. Yep, definitely heroic. Noticing this, the mysterious masked man drew the kunai even closer to Naruto's neck.

Sighing in apparent defeat, Minato used his already considerable natural speed and charged at the man, kunai in his own hand already. The man launched the little bundle in his arms high in the air behind him. Minato used this moment to launch the kunai in his hand towards his son and, nailed the shot to be able to teleport using his Hiraishin while creating at the same time a Kage Bunshin using no seals ( He used the technique so much it became second nature to him, thus being able to use it without seals as many Jounin used the Kawarimi, and the Nidaime with his skyrocketed affinity for water) to charge at the man using, once again, the Hiraishin to appear at said man's side and attack using his other trademark technique, the Rasengan, to try to strike the mysterious figure's side, nonetheless the man was aware of all this and used some sort of Jutsu to be able to make his body untouchable, then deactivated in order to grab Kushina and escape in a spiral that seemed to curve space itself, sucking himself in with Kushina in tow. Thinking on his feet, Minato teleported with his son to one of his many high-security houses he had in the whole village, hidden from sight, commanding his Kage Bunshin to dispel. As soon as he was gone, the clone simply dissipated with a loud 'poof' and a small cloud of smoke.

After he laid his son on a bed, he emerged from a closet (A/N That sounds sooo gay) with his Hokage coat on and a determined look on his face. He simply said "I'll be back, Naruto. Don't you worry. Daddy's gonna be okay. So be a good boy now, okay?"

Instead of waiting for the answer, he simply teleported to Kushina's location with a mark he placed on her when they found out they were going to be parents, wherever that may be.

Kushina was currently chained on top of a rock and was panting heavily. Not only had she given birth a mere 50 seconds earlier, but this man had some sort of an eye that glowed red inside his mask, seeming to be the Sharingan but with and unusual pattern, with a pupil in the middle and three shuriken-like extensions, giving the impression of a black miniature shuriken on a red background inside the eye. Well, this man had used his special eye to force the Kyuubi to escape and attack Konoha, now its bubbly red chakra fading in the air, the chains holding her disappearing as though they were done with their job. When she thought she was going to fall and die, she felt the air shift around her and her husband suddenly appeared in a flash of yellow, a characteristic of his Hiraishin that earnt him the moniker 'Konoha no Kiiroi Senko'. He caught her and teleported her to the same house he had left Naruto in. Fortunately, no strangers were holding his son this time. Minato lay her wife on the bed Naruto was on and disappeared with another "I'll be back. Don't worry Kushina, nothing will happen to either of you here" He disappeared through the door for a change, and was about to go up to the roof to check on his village as this was his duty of Hokage, but a strange swirl appeared exactly in the front yard, stopping him on his tracks. He fought with the man and beat him by teleporting behind him with his kunai to the man's unsuspecting back and hit him full force using his Rasengan for that purpose. He also used that moment to mark the man with the Shiki Fuujin. After that was done, the two men faced each other and Minato used the speed of his legs to come face to face with the stranger and put a seal on his torso to cancel the man's control over Kyuubi.
(A/N I'm sorry if fighting scenes are not my forte. This IS my first fic and my first fighting scene, so I'm really sorry if you don't like it or it's too similar to canon. I really suck at these and writing is really a hobby and a way to get the stress out of my brain by all the ideas for fics that constantly pop into my head. This is, after all, mainly a site for wannabe writers. I'm not gonna be ruining the free time I have been attempting to think of a fight scene good enough. It just kills my mood. After this unnaturally long drabble, please continue reading my unnaturally long strand of superfluous words I like to call a story.)
After that, realising that he had lost the battle, he used some sort of jutsu to teleport inside a swirl darker than dark itself, seemingly overlapping his body and sucking it into a hole before disappearing completely. Minato used this moment to let a sigh escape his lips and he went inside the house. However, before he entered he saw Kyuubi in the village going on with the attack, although he was no longer under the man's control, the Kyuubi kept on attacking, although it looked more like it was slowly retreating and damaging anything in its path outside the village. He went inside the house and told Kushina "Kushi-chan, please make sure Naruto stays safe after this day. Tell him I'm sorry for not being there for him. Take care of him at your fullest and make him strong. I've left in this house my will and my signature techniques, Rasengan and Hiraishin. Along with that i've left a few elemental jutsu for Fire, Lighning and Wind. Make sure he can use them to his fullest. (A/N I've looked up Minato in Google and his affinities are in Narutopedia, and that's how it's going to stay. I don't think he'll get water from his Uzumaki side, though he may.) This is goodbye, Kushi-chan, Naruto-kun." When that was said, he grabbed Naruto and teleported to the city. There, the ANBU and the best Earth Release users were trapping Kyuubi using a Jutsu that would have otherwise been overkill. Minato arrived at that moment and used the Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer to summon Gamabunta on top of Kyuubi. He the used his Hiraishin teleport them both several miles away from the village. Minato then somehow summoned a ceremonial bed in the clearing while an ANBU he had taken with him did his best to restrain the enormous Nine-Tailed Fox with his Mokuton. Minato yelled "Keep at it, Cat!" and started a chain of seals:

Snake → Boar → Ram → Hare → Dog → Rat → Bird → Horse → Snake

And then clapped his hands together to gather chakra.

The ghostly white figure appearing behind Minato wasted no time. He had long white, shaggy hair and was wearing what could only be some sort of rags as clothing. It held a sort of bead necklace in its left hand while his right hand was empty. He carried a sharp-looking knife between his teeth. The apparently summoned figure could only be one being:

The Shinigami.

The death God.

The one and only.

Shinigami put his hand through Minato's back and the man cringed slightly when the Death God's hand came out through his stomach. Latching itself onto something that seemed to be inside Kyuubi, Shinigami started to pull out something that barely resembled a fox with nine tails, squiggling in Shinigami's grasp. The Death God then retracted his hand outside Minato's body, grabbing his soul too in the process. Once they were completely out, Shinigami pulled the knife from his teeth drawing a river of saliva in the process, and seemingly cut the souls of both beings. The souls screeched before being swallowed. Shinigami then disappeared and the Kyuubi was know half the size, making him only a 7-story-high fox with 9 tails swishing from his back. Minato then sarted another chain of seals, then sealed Kyuubi inside his own son, sealing his fate too. The Sandaime later arrived at the area, searching for Minato. He found him holding thightly a little obect wrapped in a blanket. Looking closer, he saw that it was a baby with striking resemblance to the man next to him. Hiruzen then saw a boulder with a message carved on it, presumably with chakra:

"Hiruzen, if you see this, then I'm surely dead. Please take care of Naruto here next to me. Love, Minato"

-SCENE CHANGE-

~~~~~~Council Room of Konoha~~~~~~

"KILL THE DEMON!" Screeched guess who. Following that was a deafening silence, then something that could be defined as an epic uproar. The shinobi side of the council keeping, as best as they could, their cool. Some managing it, others with a certain twitch in their eyes, others failing epically.

And that, my friends, is how Naruto's shitty life started.

-THE END-

Of Chapter 1.

So! Whaddhya think?! Personally, it took me forever to write this. Sometimes I've got the inspiration I need, others I gotta wait for the shipping from Japan ;)
Anyways, DO NOT, i repeat, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE EXPECT FAST UPDATES! (Though if i'm lucky enough i will be able to update weekly)

That being said, I can write here, without fear to be wrong, that this Chapter 1, is officially a wrap!
