I'll Always Be There
A/N: Before we begin, let me first apologize for the fact that this chapter even exists. However, this chapter is "the necessary evil" to bigger and better things. So, please try and suffer through it so you can get to the good stuff.

Chapter 0: Prologue
"Minato-kun! You don't need to do this! Think of your family!" Shouts an old man clad in black battle armor.
"I apologize Sarutobi-san but I'm doing this to protect them." Replies The Fourth Hokage, Yondaime, Minato Namikaze while standing on the Chief Toad, Gamabunta.
"As am I, Minato-kun." Replies Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Sandaime Hokage.
"What do you mean Saru-" Minato gets cut off by a quick chop to the neck from an Anbu with gravity-defying gray hair.
Kakashi, you son of a- Thinks Minato before darkness overtakes him.
"Arigatou, Kakashi-kun. Now take him to his family."
The Anbu nods and shunshins (body flickers) away in a puff of smoke.
The Sandaime smiles and says, "Yosh (Alright). Hey Gamabunta I'm gonna need your help on this."
"Usually, I'd say no but for you gaki alright." Replies the boss toad summon who then leaps towards where the KNine-Tailed Fox is fighting the Konoha forces.
"Congratulations! You birthed twins Kushina-chan." Congratulates a big-chested blonde with a diamond in the middle of her forehead.
"Let me hold them please Tsunade-chan." Says Kushina Namikaze, wife of the Yondaime and the (Red Hot-Blooded Habanero). She has red hair and a round face.
Tsunade Senju, one of the best medical ninja evernods.
"It's amazing. To be able to survive having her Bijuu extracted and then still be able to give birth is unheard of." States Tsunade's assistant Shizune.
"Indeed, however I suppose that Uzumaki life-force trait truly is nothing to mock, ne?" Asks Tsunade with a smile.
"Speaking of which, Kushina what will you name them?" Asks Tsunade.
Kushina puts her hand to her chin and thinks.
"How about for my ototo (lttle brother) Kibo, Kaa-san?" Asks a calm yet excited 10 year old voice.
"Naru-chan! Hope huh?... I love it! Now, what about the girl?" Replies Kushina.
Naruto smiles and walks over to his mom. "Hmmm. How about Heiwa (Peace)?"
Kushina smiles at the young boy and beckons him to come closer. Naruto obliges and gives a grin as the babies are handed to him.
Naruto looks at the two babies, who reach out with their little hands and gurgle. Naruto laughs and interlocks their hands with his fingers. He looks at them and muses how they look.
Kibo looks like a carbon copy of Tou-san like me except I have Kaa-san's eyes. Heiwa
looks exactly like Kaa-san. Naruto sighs out loud.
"Something wrong, Naru-chan?" Asks Kushina.
"No Kaa-san. I was just thinking of how I'm gonna have to beat boys with a stick to keep them away from my imouto (Little sister)." Everyone in the room laughs. Naruto looks closer at the two twins and notices something odd on both of them.
"Hey Kaa-san why do my brother and sister have seals on their stomachs?"
"I can answer that one ototo." Says Kakashi as he enters with Minato over his shoulder.
"Kaka-chan! Why do you have Mina-kun on your back?" Asks Kushina. Kakashi grunts at the pet name and explains what happened as he sets Minato on a bed and everyone's jaws dropped.
"So, Sarutobi-sensei is dead?" Asks Tsunade with a frown. Kakashi nods in response.
"Why are there two seals? Wouldn't the Bijuu just take one container?" Asks Shizune.
"Usually yes. However the Kyubi has far too much chakra for a single baby to handle. Thus, to compensate it's chakra was split in half. One half being it's Yin chakra and the other being it's Yang chakra." Answers Naruto who has a hand on his chin.
"Honestly gaki, I never get used to your genius." Says Tsunade.
"That's my Naru-chan, dattebane!" Exclaims Kushina before she puts her hand over her mouth and blushes.
"Ok. So, which one is the jinchuriki? Asks Shizune.
"I believe that would be Heiwa because she has the Kyubi's Yang chakra in her. Although, I think my Tou-san would know."
"(Groan) Naru-chan is correct." Says a groggy Minato.
"Mina-kun!" Exclaims Kushina.
Minato smiles at his wife but before he can talk an Anbu with a weasel mask shunshins in the room and bows.
"Pardon my interruption Hokage-sama, Naruto-taichou, Kakashi-taichou, but the council is having an emergency meeting and all of your presence has been requested."
"Hai. Itachi-taichou." Replies Naruto with a smirk. The Anbu puts the mask to the side to reveal a young man with black hair, onyx eyes, and a smile.
"Gear up, Naruto-kun."
"Will do, Itachi-kun. How's Sasuke-kun?"
"He's fine but extremely clingy." Naruto laughs and says, "See you in the council meeting room everyone." He then shunshins away in a small whirlwind and Itachi bows and follow suit with a leaf shunshin.
"Those two boys are too old for their own good." States Tsunade.
Minato sighs, "Growing up during a war will do that to you after all. (Gets up) Well, better not let my son and his best friend one-up me right?" He smiles and adds, "See you at the meeting Kushi-chan and baa-chan. Also, Kakashi I haven't forgotten what you pulled back there." Minato says and then leaves in a leaf whirlwind. Kakashi sweat drops and also disappears.
"(Sigh) Honestly, that man. Not even asking his newborns' names. Hey, Tsunade-chan I was wondering where is Ero-Sennin?" Asks Kushina.
"Probably somewhere peeping." States Tsunade with a tick mark next to her diamond.
In a small town near Kaze no Kuni (Wind Country)
"A..A…A…CHOOOOO! *Thud*"
"Ahhhh! Pervert"
Oh Kami. What a terrible time for someone to be talking about me! Thinks Jirayia before he gets pummeled.
Thirty minutes later in the council meeting room
The meeting is alive with small talk until their beloved Yondaime walks in the room followed by three Anbu with an itachi (weasel), inu (dog), and Gama (toad) mask.
"The meeting may now commence."
Thirty minutes in to the meeting
"Gama-san please give us a damage report."
"Hai Hokage-sama, Only the Uchiha, Inuzuka, and Hyuuga clan compounds have received damages and those damages are minimal at best. The only considerable damage is located at the gate and the surrounding walls. However, this does leave us wide up open for attack from opposing villages. As such, Inu-taichou and I have placed our squads in critical choke points to protect us until we can produce enough shinobi to compensate."
Gama bows to show he's done and steps back.
"Thank you Gama-san."
"Now, any questions?"
"Yes, where is Sandaime-sama?"Asks Shikaku Nara.
"Sarutobi-san sacrificed his life in the sealing of the Kyubi today." Everyone bows their head in respect to the old hokage.
"Who is the Jinchuriki?" Asks Danzou Shimura, a heavily bandaged man with shaggy brown hair and an odd "X" shape scar on his chin.
"Both of my kids are." States Minato.
Everyone except the Anbu, Kushina, and Tsunade widen their eyes.
"Both but how?" Asks Hiashi Hyuga. (Repeat Naruto's explanation from earlier.)
"If you would excuse me, Hokage-sama. I would believe it to be wise to allow me to train them to be perfect weapons for our village." Says Danzou.
"Hell No! My kids are not going to be your tools you old crow!" Yells Kushina.
The council begins to shout their opinions on the matter at one another.
"SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN! NOW!" Yells Minato leaking killing intent. (KI from now on)
Everyone sits down and shuts up with the civilian half nearly pissing themselves.
"Now, the children will not be subjugated to your training they will instead be trained by me, Kushina, and Gama-san." States Minato.
"Gama-san? Why Gama-san?" Asks a council member.
"Because Gama-san is my son." As Minato says this, Gama-san gently moves the mask to the side of his head and bows. The shinobi smiles at the young man and the civilians gawk at him. Naruto then puts the mask back in place.
"Any more questions?"
"Good. Dismissed!" Everyone gets up and leaves except Danzo, Gama, Itachi, Inu, and Minato.
"Hokage-sama. There is something of great importance I must discuss with you."
Minato raises an eyebrow at the old war hawk.
"It concerns a huge threat to the village."
"Who?" Asks a now serious Minato.
"The Uchiha."
A/N: Any questions? Did you like the names of the twins? Next chapter is quite the twist. I'll probably post it either tomorrow or the 22nd, so look for that. Also, I will be starting a poll on who Naruto, Itachi, Sasuke, and the twins should end up with. Also, can someone explain to me what a beta is. Thank you. Later!
