I've started another one, partly because I believe this fic has more potential than the others, and partly because I've never seen anything like this before. Like, EVER.
Summary: Naruto Uzumaki puts a crush on things…literally. But he's just a simple man with simple dreams of finding a place in this world. However, its hard to find a place in the world for him. Especially when he's considered one of the world's most dangerous men and he's got a Demon Fox in him.
Disclaimer: I will not own Naruto, nor will I ever.

Chapter 1: Prologue, Because Every Story Needs One
The Kyubi was attacking the gates. Its nine tails waving majestically behind it. Its red fur gleamed in the moonlight, as one of his tails swept through a group of shinobi and slaughtered them. With another tail, it decimated a group of ANBU as they tried to attack the beast.
Four giants suddenly sprang up from the ground. Each one aimed a punch at the beast, but when they hit, all they felt was death as the Kyubi's demonic chakra swept through their veins.
A group of people with deers by their sides attempted a jutsu which all involved their shadows joining together to form a giant one. They all died, but they succeded in stopping the beast for a mere second.
Another group of people, this time with all blonde hair, ran forward. From their bodies sprang forth a corporeal projection of their minds, and they went flying to the beast. They entered him, and for what seemed like a second, the beast paused. Then it continued moving, as the projections of the people came flying out of the beast at tremendous speeds. All the projects came back into their own minds, then lost them. They attacked their own people, and killed them.
People with red eyes and white ones came forward. They tried to battle the beast, with taijutsu and ninjutsu, but they never made it. With one crash of the Nine-Tailed Fox's tail, they were obliterated.
A man with two arms ran up to the beast and jumped. Within a second, he was falling back to the ground, with only one arm left.
People then came with large and small animals. A swarm of black bugs descended upon the Kyubi, and the group with dogs took to the ground. The bugs were fried, and the dogs and their owners were burned. Still, the Kyubi kept on going.
The Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, stood atop the gates, watching as his fellow shinobi suffered. He too, was suffering. His son had been born not two hours ago, and his wife had died in the process.
"So, Uzumaki-san," a voice called out behind him. From the shadows stepped an old man, with graying hair and a long beard. "What are you going to do? Your people are dying, and soon, this village will die."
The Yondaime Hokage said nothing. He just stood there, arms crossed and face looking grim. For a moment, he heard the screams and cries of his fellow shinobi, as they all faced the beast and died. He could practically feel the death toll growing larger. With no sense of movement, he turned around and walked. When he passed the Sandaime Hokage, his predecessor, he said, "What I must." and headed into the same shadows he had stepped out of.
The Sandaime stood there, and looked out to the battlefield.
"Good decision, Arashi-kun."

He picked up his son, and stood on the hospital roof. He concentrated, and looked for the single kunai he had placed in the forest. It would most likely be in his student Kakashi's kunai pouch. He looked back to Konoha and sighed. He sent a throb of chakra along that link, and he felt himself being summoned to Kakashi in a yellow flash.
"Kakashi," The Yondaime said sympathetically. "I'm sorry."
In his student's arms, he held his other remaining student. She had bones sticking out of her skin everywhere, and blood was spilling from her. Kakashi was holding her in his arms, sobbing.
"S-S-S-She tried to –h-h-help me," he cried, "A-And she d-d-died doing it."
"It'll be over soon, Kakashi." and the Yondaime walked forward onto the battlefield, his son in his arms. He put him down on the ground for a mere second, and summoned up Gamabunta.
"Bunta-san," the Yondaime Hokage told the Toad King, "I need you to get in as close as you can to the Kyubi." He said, while picking up the bundle that was now on Gamabunta's head. He stuck chakra to his feet, and braced himself, as Gamabunta jumped into the air, and landed right beside the Kyubi. The Kyubi never notice the toad, until he stuck a katana into his side.
He howled, and pushed away the Toad with his chakra. It blew him back over 300 feet, and he skidded to a stop. He poofed out of existence, and the fox wondered where he went.
Riding on the fox's back, was the Yondaime Hokage and his son.
"Good bye, Konoha." he said, right before he bit his own finger and let the blood well up on his thumb. He looked down at his son, and saw him for the first time. He already had a head of blonde hair, and the tips of it seemed an unearthly white.
'Must be from his mother.' The Yondaime said, before he created a seal made from his blood onto his son's naval.
The Kyubi thrashed around, and shook his body. He could feel someone was above him, standing on his back. He was a demon. No one should be on his back! He let out a pulse of chakra, and it whipped away everyone else and burned the surrounding trees. It did not make the man fall, however.
The Yondaime picked up his son, and ran up the beast's back and landed on the Kyubi's neck.
"I'm afraid, Kyubi-san, that I can't let you destroy my village anymore."
He ran through a variety of seals, then stopped on one seal that looked like a cross. He felt cold behind him, and instantly knew the Death God was there. A hand reached inside of him, then took a firm hold onto his soul. He turned around, and saw another one of his hands reach into the head of the Kyubi. He screamed, as his soul was ripped out.
"Shinigami-sama!" the Yondaime managed to cry out. The feeling of having his soul ripped out was painfully hurting. It was like having something being torn out of you, with no disturbance. He couldn't talk anymore, as the Shinigami's hand was already halfway out of his body. He felt himself growing cold, a sure sign of going into the afterlife. With a great amount of effort, he held up his son. The Shinigami seemed to understand, and instead of devouring the Kyubi's immortal soul, he placed it inside the boy.
The Yondaime managed to smile, before his soul was completely ripped out, and he fell to the ground with a boy in his arms.

The Sandaime Hokage, sighed from his position in the shadows, as he saw his predecessor give his life and his son's for the village. The man's corpse fell to the floor, and impacted upon it with a loud thud. He ran over to the corpse, quickly. He had thought of this plan, ever since the Yondaime had outlined it for him. He was to take the boy, and hold him up to the crowd of shinobi that would eventually gather. He would say that the boy was the container of the Nine-Tailed Fox, and should be treated with respect. Then, only fate would know what would happen.
He picked up the boy, then stared at him, surprise etched onto his face. The boy was no longer sleeping, and his eyes were shone. They were in reverse. Instead of whites in his eyes, they were a blue, a piercing sky blue. The iris's were a pure white, and the pupil was a startling pure red.
The Sandaime could only stare, as the crowd of people came forward, to see what had befallen their beloved Yondaime Hokage. He quickly shook his head to get the thoughts of the boy's unique eye coloring out his mind, before he raised the boy high above his head.
"Let's see what destiny's got in store for you, Naruto Uzumaki," said the Shinigami, watching from his perch in Makai.

Well, there concludes the Prologue….Every prologue must suck for the rest of the story to seem good, remember?
I'll start writing Chapter 2 as soon as I can. Also, I'm looking for someone to take Fire Storm off my hands. It's not that I can't write it, but I have too many thoughts and ideas for it. If anyone wants it, just pm me and I'll think about it. I might give it away, or I might not.
Well, until next chapter…
Me…
