Once upon a time, no, scratch that, from the beginning of time, the world has been reigned by two different races: demons and humans (too bad, not angels). Having been peacefully coexisting with each other, nothing short of war occurred between the two races. However, it was on that one fateful night that the first war began.
Truth has never been an object to be found easily, but what was hypothesized is that a human trespassed into demon territory and slaughtered almost the whole pack of kitsune, an action thought to be have been nothing but intimidation to the leader, an S-rank kitsune demon, the Kyuubi no Kitsune.
Clouded by revenge, he went berserk and attacked the town of Konoha. Then one particular man stepped up from the guild of Fairy Tail and performed a long series of hand seals before sealing the fox into a newborn. He was never heard of again, but it was said that he left a legacy, not known to many, his name is Naruto.
Makarov had just witnessed the most terrifying scene of his life, as with everyone else, the Kyuubi had attacked Konoha out of the blues and caused chaos and destruction en masse. He was getting desperate, none of his tricks seem to be able to even hurt the Kyuubi the slightest bit. He suddenly felt that he didn't deserve the title of one of the ten Wizard Saints, the townfolks were suffering even more as time passes. Charging up another round of Fairy Law with a determined look on his face, he knew he had to stop the Kyuubi at all cost.
That was when he stepped in, he who became known as the youngest of the Ten Wizard Saints, the blonde who was always cheerful and enjoyed himself as much as everyone did in the guild. Namikaze Minato, S-rank mage by the age of 16, and was became a fellow Wizard Saint himself by the age of 21. Said person currently had a serious expression, which was rare.
"I know a way to stop it, Makarov." Minato said sternly.
A smile slowly formed on his Makarov's face, he knew Minato surpassed him, just no clue regarding how much. Then he noticed the small infant that Minato was carrying.
"Is that..."
"Yes, my son. Kushina and my son."
"Ah, so you actually took my advice and went out with her, how's she doing? Does she have any clue as to why her.. colleague would attack us?"
"Her body's in critical condition now, there were some problems during Naruto's birth. She's still alive, but I don't think she'll last much longer."
"But isn't she.."
"I don't know! I don't fucking know!" Minato couldn't hold it any longer, his wife was within shinigami's grasp and worse still, the only method to stop the Kyuubi was to seal him into a newborn, who he had no choice but to pick Naruto, his own son. A mutter of apology was heard from Makarov after that.
It was then that he voiced his solution, "I'm going to seal it, seal the Kyuubi into my own son, please take good care of him, for this will be my last and best sealing magic you will ever see."
"Wait, what do you mean?"
Then the door opened and out came Kushina, who was stumbling towards Minato.
"Kushina, you have to rest."
"No! I will not sit and watch you offer yourself to shinigami."
"It's the only way!"
"Then let me accompany you, what did you promise me 10 years ago, on that one mission you met me?"
Minato smiled, he recalled that one thing he said to the woman he loved on first sight, "I'll never leave you alone, we would always stay together, until the end of the world, or until death claims us."
"You put aside the difference between us and see me for who I am, not for what I am. That, is what I loved in you, so please let me help you, let me help you finish this last act of honor."
"Of course." he then turned to Makarov, "I'm gonna have to count on you to take care of little Naruto here from now on, and please be careful not to reveal to anyone what he is, just like how you promised about Mira-chan." Makarov nodded without hesitation, it was his last wish after all.
Minato glanced upwards at the Kyuubi, "I'm sorry pal, but you made me do this." His hand started going through those hand seals he was famous for and time around the both of them stopped. A seal was slowly projected, from which a hideous creature appeared.
"Yes, more food for me!" It cried out loud before being yanked back into the portal Minato opened. Shortly after, a young man who appeared to be in his 20s came out. His whole body was dressed in black and his hair was rather jagged. "Stupid retarded dog." he muttered.
"Hoho, a human, no, you're not a human, a half demon in fact has summoned me. You must have a death wish then." the man smirked.
"I do, but you'll have to honor me two wishes."
"And why is that?"
"Because before you stand two brave souls offering themselves to you."
"I see, what a lovely couple. What is it that shall be your last wishes?"
"Seal the fox into my son Naruto without killing both of them and..." Minato looked towards Kushina, who then answered, "Leave a fraction of our soul within his mind so that we can help him when there is a need to."
"Would that be it?"
"Consider it done. Any last words?"
"I love you, Kushina."
"Forever and always, Minato."
Sharing one last kiss, time resumed while they laid on the ground dead, in each other's embrace. Before Makarov knew it, the fox was gone, as if it vanished into thin air. There on the ground in front of him laid both Minato and Kushina while beside them was a crying little Naruto who had a complicated looking seal on his stomach.
"I will honor your last wish, Minato-kun." Makarov carried the infant and walked back into the guild with sorrow evident on his face.
That was Makarov's part of the story regarding the sealing of the Kyuubi. Now all that's left would be to raise the newborn who apparently stopped crying after that.
A/N: So this is another story that I've been having in my head for a long time now. I have read many stories which gave me the inspiration to write this story, hope this one will be another different story to you readers.
PM or review to suggest some pairings. It will be taken into consideration, though I wish to avoid making this a harem fic.
