Chapter 1
It was almost sunset, with the last of the sunlight just covering the top of a large mountain monument that depicted past leaders of a village known as the Hidden Leaf Village… a main village in the elemental nation known as the Fire Country. While it was mostly peaceful in this village as most of the villagers headed home for the day with their families, laughing and talking. Well.. all except one particular villager, a young blond hair boy named Naruto Uzumaki to be precise.
Young, 9 year old Naruto was currently running for his very life as a mob of vicious villagers chased him down the streets, brandishing various weapons.. Everything from pitch forks to swords to knifes to the cliché torches.. (yeah.. I'm not sure where they got them from either).
"Get back here, you damn demon!"
"We're going to skin you alive, you monster!"
"You took my son you demon fox, and now I'm going to take you!"
These and other insults were yelled as Naruto spotted a alleyway and darted to it with the mob hot on his heels. As Naruto was running down the alley fir his very life, he blindly bumped into a 19 year old man with his 14 year old brother that were both wearing hoods that covered a good deal of their faces. Naruto wasn't sure if they were already in alleyway when he got there or not, but couldn't really think about that while his mind was concentrated on both the mob behind him and wondering if the two hooded men were also after him.
The older of the two hooded men, slide out a large sword from a sheathe on his back, while his younger brother pulled a enormous sword out of seemingly nowhere that was far longer then he was tall. AS they pulled out these swords the group of villagers that had been chasing Naruto finally caught up and came to a halt in front of the two strange men and Naruto.
"Hey...we saw him first!" one of the villagers yelled, holding a machete up her hand. "Get you own demon kid to kill, this one's ours!"
The other villagers all agreed with the women in there own way before becoming a bit quiet as the women spoke again.
"Who are you two anyways?" She asked, raising an eyebrow. "You don't look familiar.. And as the wife of the Leaf Village's top interrogator and best gossip spreader round next to my daughter.. I know almost everyone in the village.. Except you two.."
"Who are I?" The taller one asked, tilting his head slightly. "I guess you deserve to know the name of you killer.."
"Wolf.. You can call me Wolf.." He then said as he gripped his word's handle tightly. ".. and if you wanna know about me I'll tell you this.. I hate asshole who try and use innocent kids as scapegoats for your own twisted reasons that I honestly could care less about"
The man who identified himself as Wolf, pointed his sword at the mob of villagers while his brother carefully knocked out Naruto and set him behind them to keep him safe.
As soon as Wolf was sure Naruto was safe, he went into a sword stand with his weapon held in front of him at a angle and only said one more thing before he'll killed every single person in the mob. "Goodbye… monsters"
In mere seconds.. Every single villager was dead with the brown haired women, the one who spoke about being a top gossiper, the last to fall, bleeding out on the top of the pile of bodies.
At this moment the leader of the village, the 4th Hokage, Minato Namikaze and a group of Anbu Black Ops arrived on the scene just in time to witness the last of the kills.
The Anbu all put their hands on the hilts of their swords and watched the two hooded men's every move as the Hokage walked forward a few steps. Minato studied the two armed men for a moment before speaking up in a authoritative tone, befitting leader.
" Out of the two of you, I'd say the taller one is the leader…in which case, I want you to remove your hood and tell me your name" Minato stated, keeping his eyes trained on both men. " Will you do this willingly or not?"
Wolf seemed more amused by the Hokage's serious tone the anything else, but lowered it nonetheless. "If that's what you wish.."
Lowering the hood, Wolf was revealed to be fairly young with silver colored hair, strange eyes that were almost wolf like and a long scar on his right cheek. Despite the scar, and eyes, he was fairly normal and most probably wouldn't think twice if they saw him in a crowd.
"Oh…and my name.. you may call me Wolf" The man said, a she put his sword away and folded his arms.
"Thank you for cooperating.." Minato said in a even tone. "Now then.. Maybe you'll explain why you decided to kill these people and protect the demon?"
"Why I killed them, you ask?" Wolf asked, narrowing his eyes at the Hokage. "I think it should be obvious but they would have killed this boy, had I not interfered"
"Your obviously not from around here if you think this "boy" is anything other then demon" Minato said, glaring at Wolf. "These people had every right to attack the demon.. Because he deserv-
"Don't even finish that sentence.. Fourth Hokage.." Wolf commanded harshly. "I've been looking into this boy.. This human boy.. For while now and I can say with absolute certainty now that these villager s had no right to attack him for any reason"
"You don't know what your talking about.." Minato stated in frustration. "This is the nine tailed fox demon that's reincarnated in the forma of a human boy...
Not being able to take it any more, Wolf verbally lashed out at Minato with his fists balled tightly.
"JUST WHAT GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO TREAT THIS BOY LIKE A DEMON?! TO LET HIM BE ABUSED AND TREATED LIKE DIRT?! HE'S A HUMAN BOY THAT YOU MADE INTO A JINCHURIKI!
"I BET YOU WENT SO FAR TO SPITE HIM THAT YOU DIDN'T EVEN TELL HIM THAT HE'S YOUR SON AND THAT HE HAS A TWIN SISTER EITHER I BET!"
Both Minato and his Anbu were shocked by the man's outburst and were unsure how to react to it. Though some of the Anbu whispered to one another, questioning if what the man had said was true about the demon child really being the Fourth Hokage's son.
Minato himself was both shocked that the strange man knew so much person information about him and that he knew about the Leaf Village's Jinchuriki.
"I'm going to tell you this once Fourth Hokage.. So listen very carefully.." Wolf said, after taking a minute to calm down.. This boy.. This innocent child is coming with me to live with my family… you threw away your only son and now have to live with the consequences…we're leaving here brother, get Naruto"
"Not so fast" one of the Anbu said as the entire squad pulled out their katanas. "Your not going any where with that "Thing".."
Wolf was reaching for his sword, but his brother stepped up in front of him, with his large sword already drawn. "I got this brother.. Allow me to deal with these arrogant fools"
Wolf nodded to his brother, who then proceed to race forward with incredible speed, cutting down the Anbu with ease. One of the Anbu tried striking his back with his sword, only to have him turn around before he could move and cleave his head from his neck in one quick movement that one wouldn't think possible with such a large sword. The other Anbu weren't necessarily looking to die in a equal brutal way, but they had a duty to protect the Hokage that came before anything else, so they all charged the hooded man with swords drawn.
The younger man gave them a look of almost pity before he proceeded to slash, and cut hi way through the Anbu, killing them all in matter of minutes. This left Minato barely frozen, as he just watched a strange man with a oversized sword kill an entire squad of highly trained Anbu Black Ops ninja and couldn't believe it.
Wolf nodded to his brother, who put his sword on his back and picked up the unconscious Naruto and prepared to leave.
Meanwhile, Minato might not had as confident that he could defeat the stranger in a fight as he had when he and his now dead Anbu had first confronted them, but as the Hidden Leaf's leader he had to try.
"As the Fourth Hokage, I can't let you leave" Minato stated as he held out his palm and focused his chakra. "Surrender or die, Wolf"
Wolf seemed not to be intimidated and just stood there as the Hokage formed a ball of swirling energy in his hand.
"Fine.. You had your chance…" Minato said, racing forward in a flash of yellow light. "Rasangan!"
Though Minato knew he shouldn't be very surprised at this point, but he couldn't help but go wide eyed as his target moved to the side in a blink of an eye and then proceeded to grab his wrist, stopping his attack. Wolf yanked Minato's arm and delivered a upper cut that sent him flying back, to where he landed in a crouch, rubbing his jaw.
"Damn it.." Minato said standing up. "How did he move so fast?… he's faster then the Raikage was when I fought him and his brother"
"As fast as I've heard.. Lord Hokage" Wolf commented getting into fighting pose with his body slightly turned to one side, one balled fist turned up in front of him and the other back slightly. "If we're going to fight.. Then follow me, Minato"
With that Wolf jumped at the wall and dashed between them, pushing off of them so he could get to the top and onto the nearby rooftop.
"This guy is surprisingly athletic.." Minato commented as he threw a three pawned kunai upward, high above the roof area and disappeared in a flash of yellow lightning. "But he won't defeat me.. I can't afford to fail"
Minato appeared in the air before dropping down to the roof top, where Wolf stood waiting for him.
"So tell me… why do you care about the demon boy?" Minato asked, as he carefully watched Wolf's movements.
"The time for words is over, Hokage" Wolf said, as he tossed several shurikens at him and pulled out his sword, before launched a jutsu. "Lightning style, Chidori Stream!"
Minato curse his luck at facing a lightning user, and used his speed to dodge the attack, though not with out some minor burns. His own element was Wind, which unfortunately was weak against Lightning putting him at a disadvantage.
"Have to try anyways though… good thing I know more then one element" Minato muttered doing several hand signs. " Fire style, Phoenix Fire Jutsu!"
Wolf did a wordless water jutsu, that send a wall of water at Minato, neutralizing the fire jutsu before it ever reached him.
"Oh well…If I can't rely on jutsu, then I'll go with my Toad style taijutsu" Minato thought as he steeled himself. "Time to act"
Minato closed the gap between them with his advanced and then proceeded launch a round house kick at Wolfs head. Wolf ducked down and spun around, sending a hard elbow at Minato's stomach hitting him directly. But instead of his target acting in pain, he exploded an puff of smoke, indicating he was nothing more then a shadow clone.
Using his moment of opportunity, Minato appeared behind him with a grin. He then grabbed the surprised Wolf and tossed him overhead, sending him flying into a nearby wall that he hit hard, creating a small crater.
"Guess there's a reason they feared him in the last ninja war…" Wolf groaned, spitting out blood and standing up. "Doesn't mean I'm going to give up though"
Wolf jumped forward, grabbing Minato and pushed him to one side, at the same time he fire out a water jutsu with such speed and force that it actually did serious damage to Minato's arm, leaving it bleeding. He then ran at Minato and they engaged in a almost choreographed series of strikes and kicks that they both managed to dodge leading to a stalemate that had them locking a Kunai against one of Minato's special three pronged kunai.
"Your good, Wolf" Minato said, pushing his weapon against Wolf's. "I'm impressed"
"Same here… Hokage" Wolf commented, pushing back. " But this has gone on to long…as it is… Indeed to be going.. And I'll be doing so with Naruto"
"Oh yeah?.. Show me" Minato stated jumping back. " If you can"
"Gladly.." Wolf said ,with eyes faintly glowing, as he pulled out his sword and did several hands signs with one hand, before launching a dual element Jutsu. " Secret Jutsu.. Electrified Water Barrage!"
A large blast of water with streams of visible electricity running through it erupted out of Wolf's mouth shooting at Minato, who wasn't sure if he could safely dodge it or not. He focused his chakra into his legs, and jumped to the side pushing off of a wall and landing safely away from the water.
"This is getting out of hand.." Minato commented, in frustration. "This has to end.. Now"
"I agree" Stated voice from beside him, and to Minato's shock, it was Wolf who proceeded to slap a strange seal on his arm that had part of it's material torn away earlier.
The seal was a strange, complex design resembling a pentagram that Minato had never seen before. As soon as he placed it, Wolf disappeared again, reappearing in front of him.
"You wanted to end this.. So now it is" Wolf stated, as his brother appeared with the sleeping Naruto in tow. "That is the cursed chakra seal of penitence…it will seal away your chakra… and in 10 years, on your son's 19th birthday. You will die"
"What?… that's impossible…. No seal works like that!" Minato argued, narrowing his eyes.
"Believe what you want.. But it is the truth" Wolf explained calmly to him.
"I don't understand.. Why would you fight so hard .. To protect a stranger?" Minato said, as he held his now sore arm. "Is it that you want tot gain control over the nine tallied fox?.. Like that masked man did 9 years ago?"
"I don't know anything about any masked man.. But I do know this…" Wolf replied to Minato. "Unlike you and this god forsaken village.. I know the difference between a scroll and the item sealed with in it.. That Naruto is the jailor of the nine tailed fox, not the fox reincarnated"
Wolf stared at Minato as he took Naruto from his brother. "Now then… as I said before we're leaving.. All three of us.. Don't bother trying to follow.. You'll only have access to the minimum amount of chakra necessary to live. So it would be useless to try"
"Farewell.. Fourth Hokage.." Was the last thing that Wolf said before he, his brother and Naruto disappeared a puff of smoke, leaving the defeat Hokage there unable to do anything to stop them..
Minato stood there on the slightly damaged roof , glancing around and thinking hard. "Sigh…Now what?"
