The Hollow Flash

by PhantomXYZ

At the end of the day, I saved the village, at the cost of sealing a Nine-tailed Demon Fox within my son, Naruto. I hate to say it, but I have regrets...If I was more powerful, I could have saved my son and wife...Whatever...That thinking is what got me here in this sandy wasteland in the first place

The havoc settled finally. The nine-tails sealed within my beloved son, whom we named Naruto. Their might have been other way, but life doesn't slow down for you to think about this stuff, especially when you're fighting a giant FOX. We see Lord third coming and picking up Naruto.

"I'll protect you, you will have troubles, but I'll try my best to protect you from people who might hate you, for something you didn't even do, Naruto." Those words warmed my heart. I knew Naruto was in good hands now. I just wish that I was...stronger, maybe I could have saved my wife and given Naruto a normal life he deserved. Well I sealed at least HALF the kyuubi within me, but I got the good half while my son the, well, not-so-good half. Damn that masked man. Damn him….

"Minato!" yelled Kushina looking frantically.

"Yes honey?" I replied sorrowfully.

"What are these chains on our chest?" she asked, pulling on the chain that had connected to the ground. "And are those our BODIES?"

I looked at the ground to see both of our bodies lying there, and tears began to fall, I clenched my fist and said "THOSE WERE NARUTO'S PARENTS!" A burst of energy flew out of me and before I knew it, everything was going dark. "HIS BELOVED MOTHER! AND WEAK WEAK FATHER!" I yelled.

"MInato! Calm down!"

I held both hands on my head and fell to my knees and everything went dark. The last words I heard were from Kushina, who had told me "I can't lose you too, please, don't leave me."

I wake up and regain consciousness. I feel different… Powerful….Nothing driving me to move except this certain..hunger you could call it. I walk through this white sand desert of nothingness and find this puddle of liquid. I look into it and realize I look different. I have a hole in my chest, claws, a bigger body, and most importantly, a mask. It has fangs, a long snout, and ears...sort of like a...fox. My yellow hair still showed from behind my head, it's probably one of the only things I kept from my human body. Only right now, I don't care about Naruto and Kushina, just this hunger… this terrible hunger...
