Chapter 1. A Sacrifice for Both Power and Protection
The sounds of battle can be heard from outside of the hospital as the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namizake, stands behind a screen waiting for Mikoto Uchiha to give birth to her second son. The process is familiar to him as his own son was born just a month ago. However, the seal to stop this beast from destroying his home required a newborn child and his own son had already been alive for too long to use. It had taken a lot of persuasion and promises to get Fugaku Uchiha to give up his son for the process, but in the end the temptation of being able to control the Kyuubi was too great.
An hour passes as I wait for little Sasuke to be born and the second his umbilical cord is cut I grab him and run as fast as I can towards the battlefield. I have no time to look back and see Mikoto Uchiha, Matriarch to the Uchiha line, breaking down into hysterical tears knowing what will happen to her youngest son. As soon as i get out of the hospital I summon the toad boss himself, knowing that no other summon could be better for the foe i am about to face. As soon as he is summoned, he calls to me "Minato why have you summoned me here! You know I cannot fight against the Kyuubi, against his power I would be squashed!" "I understand Bunta I just need you go get near him and dodge long enough for me to seal him." I said to the agitated boss summon.
With a quick nod, Gamabunta takes a giant leap and propels Sasuke and me on to the battlefield. As soon as I am in range, I begin to make the seals to summon the Shinigami in order to seal the demon. As i complete the final seal the air around me begins to chill, and looking behind me i see the great specter himself. The Shinigami behind me demands "Who dares summon me!" For second I couldn't help but freeze up as before me is a being beyond even the 9 tailed demon, the death god himself, and even being prepared to see him and seeing him are two different things. Quickly I remember that my son's life is in danger if I cannot stop the nine tails and his life depends on this sealing with that thought in my mind i snap out of my fear and yell to the specter, "Great Shinigami, I have summoned you according to the contract and ask that you seal the Kyuubi inside this young child in exchange for my soul." "Very well it shall be done" Is the last thing the Shinigami says before his hand goes through the young Uchiha and stretches all the way to the Kyuubi. The rampaging demon stops as the arm grabs him and then lets out a scream beyond anything I have ever heard before as its soul is ripped from its body. Without any fanfare, the soul is sealed within Sasuke and that is the last thing that I see as I pass into the abyss. My last thoughts are about my beautiful baby boy and my only regrets are not being able to see Kushina in the afterlife and having to leave Naruto with that pervert. Mmm maybe it is a good thing I won't see Kushina.
So this is the first chapter of Naruto of the Healing Flora and it is rather generic however, it does give a few very important pieces of information. I cannot tell you how many spelling errors I got on some of these names :)! Anyhow please enjoy this and the second chapter will be up very quickly.
