The Nine-Tailed Naruto

I hope you like the prolog. AU. I don't own Naruto.

Minato, his wife, and the Kage of the world walked into a cave. "Are you sure about this," Kushina asked her husband. "It's the only way I could think of," he said, "and I've thought of everything."

As they walked down into the dark cave, the people there began to have second thoughts. Soon, they reached a pitch black area. Suddenly, a great ball of fire lit up the room. No turning back now.

"Goodness, gracious," Kushina said. (Snicker) standing in front of them, a large torch next to it, was a giant, one eyed, black monster with Ten Tails. "SPEAK," the demon said in a booming voice, "WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DESIRE FROM ME." Minato bowed in front of the great beast.

"Oh, great Ten Tailed Beast," he said, signaling for the others to bow too, "Nine of our children, from each of our families, are sick. We have each tried everything we could think of, but nothing has worked. We have brought them to you in hopes that you can save them. Please, I beg you, not as Hokage, but as a father of one of the children, please save them."

The Ten Tails thought for a moment. Then she (yes, I'm making the Ten Tails female. If you don't think that's a good idea, deal with it) said, "Very well, I shall help you." "You will," Kushina asked. "However," the Ten Tails said, "there will be a catch, which I will tell to you later." After discussing this with the others for a little while, Minato turned to the Ten Tails and said, "We accept your terms."

"Good," the Ten Tails says, "follow me." Then she turned around and walked further into the cave. The Kages followed her. They walked until they reached a room with 18 stone beds and nine stone cribs. "This," the Ten Tails said, "is where I will save their lives."

"Where are we," the Kazekage asked. "We are in the room where the 9 of my children live," the Ten Tails said, "it is lucky for me as well that you came. You see, my children are dying too." To show them, the Ten Tails took nine of its Ten Tails' and lifted nine demons out of their cribs.

"What are you going to do," the Kazekage asked. "I have a way of sealing the life force of one creature into another," the Ten Tails said, setting its children on nine of the 18 stone beds, "this will cause the first creature to save the second creature's life, as well as empower some of its abilities." Everyone became happy when they heard this.

"I am sorry to say, however," the Ten Tails said, taking the human children out of the hands of the other, "that it will only work on demons." Everyone looked shocked at this. Some even looked like they wanted their kids back.

"And, I'm also sorry to say," The Ten Tails' continued, "that there is no other way I can think of to save them in time. Well, none that you would agree to more than this." Everyone looked down after hearing this.

"What are their names," the Ten Tails asked. Everyone looked up, confused. "So I know to give who to when I'm done," she explained.

Each Kage walked up to each relative, who were now lying next to one of the demons, and said their names.

"Gaara."

"Yugito."

"Yagura."

"Roshi."

"Han."

"Utakata."

"Fu."

"Killer Bee."

"Naruto."

'…odd names,' the Ten Tails thought, 'but who am I to judge.' "Alright," she said, "it is time. I must ask you not to be too close, or you might accidently get caught up in the process." Everyone backed away. But before Kushina left Naruto's side, she knelt down, and gave him one last kiss.

"Now… WE BEGIN." The Ten Tails started to make hand signs in an indescribable pattern. Soon, she clapped her hands together in a way like she was clutching something between them. When she opened them, a small black, blue, and red swirled chakra orb was floating between them.

Soon, the chakra began to leave the orb and get inhaled into the human children's noses. Then, after all the chakra in the orb was gone, a white gas-like substance came out of each of their mouths, noses, and eyes. Without waiting to completely leave their bodies, the white masses went and entered one of the demons.

Soon, all of the white mass was out of the human children, and in the demons. "It is done," the Ten Tails said, "they will live." "That's wonderful," Minato said, as everyone relaxed and signed in relief, "now we can all go home."

"Yeah," the Ten Tails said, setting the human kids at the Kages' feet, "about that… remember the catch I told you about earlier." Then the Kages looked up, into the eye of the Ten Tails. And then the tomoe in the eye began to spin.

Later…

The Hokage and Kushina walked into the village, their son lying in Minato's arms. Two ninja, one chunin and one ANBU, waited at the gates. "Lord Hokage," the Chunin said to him, "how did it go? Did the Ten Tail's help Naruto?" At that, Kushina fell to her knees, crying.

"There was… nothing it could do," Minato said, "Naruto… is dead." The two ninja looked down, sad, before the ANBU went off to tell the news to the elders. "I'm sorry," the chunin said.

Meanwhile, at the cave of the Ten Tails…

Nine tailed beasts played on the cave floor as the Ten Tails sat on her rock throne, her face in her hand. "What have I done," she said. She looked at her children. They laughed and played with their toys. She smiled a little at this.

"You'll all grow up," she said, "neither demon, nor human. But never unloved. Never unloved."

I hope you liked my prolog. I was thinking of giving the Ten Tails a name, but I couldn't think of anything. Maybe you can help. Submit your ideas, and I'll choose one. Also, please review. Your reviews are important to me. They're important to use all.
