Ch. 1 Two Jinchuriki
Two figures could be seen walking towards the gates of Konoha late at night, one appeared to be female and had her arm wrapped around the neck of the second figure. Both appeared to be small, showing that they weren't all that old, early teens at best. The two also appeared to have been through some sort of massacre, given that the one carrying the girl was covered in a red liquid that smelled of blood.
The other figure however, didn't look like they had taken as a bad of a beating, but she still had bruises and cuts that seemed to be all over her body. But she seemed to be in a lot more pain than her partner. Pain, that only seemed to get worse and worse as they got closer and closer to the Village Hidden In The Leaves.
'Come on!, we're almost there, just a couple more feet and Kushina-sama will be able to help us. This seal on her is getting worse and worse, and it still doesn't help that we don't know what it's doing. Add to the fact that I'm almost out of chakra, so if we get attacked, we are screwed.' The one covered in blood thought as he kept dragging his feet onward toward their home, while the girl kept cringing and breathing heavily as they kept moving to signify her pain.
She tried thinking of anything to block out the pain, but all she came up with were recent memories of how they had gotten to that moment. While Kakashi was also doing the same thing, though he was still in shock over what had happened.
Flashback- Hours ago
These same two figures were hurrying to get out of Kirigakure (Hidden Mist) and head back to Konoha (Hidden Leaf). Kakashi had just rescued Rin from her captures, he had found the girl tied up to a post in front of a lake, and when he was looking her over to make sure that she was okay, she was in pretty bad shape though, it seemed that they had beaten her pretty badly. He also noticed that she now had a seal on her stomach. Kakashi didn't know anything about seals, but he someone who would...Uzumaki Kushina: Konoha's seal master. So together, the two raced out of Kiri, towards their home.
It wasn't long before they noticed she was missing, and Kiri immediately sent in a squad of Anbu to follow them. In no time at all, the squads had found the two's tracks and ran off to find them. They had found them on the border of Nami no Kuni (Land of Waves) and Hi no Kuni (Land of Fire). Kakashi knew they would come for her, so he immediately set Rin down so she could rest and uncovered his newly acquired Sharingan and engaged the Anbu squad. He had only managed to take out three Anbu out of 9 with his new technique: The Chidori (One Thousand Birds), but there were too many of them and too few of him, and he didn't have enough chakra to make enough Kage Bunshins (Shadow Clones). Right before he was about to get hit by the Anbu behind him, someone had appeared and had taken the Anbu member out with nothing but a punch. Kakashi looked behind him, and what he saw he would never forget again.
Standing right behind him, was his teammate, Uchiha Obito, though this Obito he didn't recognize at all. He seemed to be wearing a black cloak, with these weird tentacle like things sprouting out from the neck of the cloak, with his hand covered up in something really white that Kakashi just assumed was bandages, and his left eye was being covered up by the tentacle like things. Kakashi was amazed at seeing his teammate alive, his eyes were even starting to tear up. For days since his supposed 'death' he had been torturing himself about his friends death. He was so stunned by his arrival that he didn't even question how he killed that Anbu member with just one punch.
"Hey Kakashi, are you guys alright?" His teammate asked, then his eyes loomed over towards Rin, whose eyes were just as wide as Kakashi's at seeing Obito alive, his eyes seemed to linger on her for a little while before directing his eyes to Kakashi again. Kakashi couldn't speak however, he just stared at his teammate as if he were a piece of art that he couldn't understand. "Kakashi-teme, are you guys alright?" The Uchiha asked again, all Kakashi could do was nod dumbly at the sight before him. "Well, if your alright, then lets get Rin out of here, NOW!" Obito ordered, Kakashi nodded again, and together the two charged the Anbu again, with Obito taking out most of him with his new found strength.
They had managed to cut down all but two Anbu left. With Obito right next to Rin in a defensive pose, while Kakashi was on the other side of the Anbu to make sure they didn't try Kakashi saw something happen to Obito, the white things sprouting from his neck seemed to be moving and separating themselves from Obito, making the boy cry out in pain. All the while, Kakashi and the Anbu were watching with curiosity as to what was happening to the boy."Z-Ze-Zetsu, why are you doing this? I need your help, you know I'm not fully recovered yet." He called out to seemingly no one in particular, "Sorry Obito-kun, but Madara-sama is calling us back right now, it seems you are no longer of any use to him now, he never expected you to make it to your team it seems. Farewell Obito." The creature known as Zetsu replied, now completely separated from the Uchiha, leaving him only in his cloak. Obito immediately yelled out in pain and fell down to the ground next to Rin, almost unconscious. While the white Zetsu stood before him with an emotionless face as he stared at the limp form of his masters now ex-apprentice. "Goodbye Obito-san." Zetsu said as he sunk into the ground, leaving the Anbu and Kakashi in complete shock.
Kakashi saw one of the Anbu recover from his shock and start making his way to Rin, Kakashi immediately started to pursue the man, with the other Anbu right behind him. Kakashi knew that, while he was fast enough to outrun the Anbu behind him, he wasn't going to be fast enough to save Rin, and Obito was in no condition to fight anymore since the Zetsu thing left him. Little did he know, that this was all apart of the Anbu's plan to get Kakashi to let down his guard and charge towards their ticking time bomb to save her, so he could change the direction of the attack to Kakashi instead.
Kakashi started pushing everything he had into his feet to go faster and faster, he was almost there, he was so close! He was too late though, the Anbu was raising his kodachi and about to stab at the girl, Kakashi kept running and running to save her, while Rin stared at the man with fear in her eyes as she saw him raise it about to take her life.
Kakashi was right behind the Anbu and about to strike him down, when out of nowhere, the Anbu turns and was about to stab at Kakashi. The masked jonin had wide eyes as he realized that he had been duped by the Anbu and he was going to pay the ultimate price for it. Right as the blade was about to stab him however, he saw a black blur appear right in front of him and then all he saw was red. Everything froze, the two Anbu, Kakashi, it even seemed as if the rain had frozen in place. The only thing Kakashi saw was a red liquid flowing like a river down to the ground. The red substance seemed to be coming from the being in front of him, his eyes started tearing up as he realized that the person facing him, with a kodachi jutting out from his stomach, was Obito.
'Why? Why? WHY!?' Kakashi was screaming in his head, "Obito, why, after all I did to you, I treated you like shit, so why?" The grey haired jonin asked, the Uchiha gave Kakashi a look that seemed to be a look of confusion, "I- I don't know why, all I know was my body moved for me, it gave one last push, Kakashi, please tak-" the boy was silenced from his words by the Anbu behind him, who had had enough of his talking and had taked the kodachi out and stabbed the boys heart. Killing the badly injured boy instantly.
As he saw Obito fall before him, he felt something trickle down his cheek and soak in his already soaked mask. He let out a massive war cry and all he saw for the next couple of minutes was red.
When he came to, he saw that both Anbu were dead, and that he was sitting right in front of both their bodies, both unrecognizable as he saw that they both had massive wounds coming from just about everywhere on their body. He looked down at himself and noticed that he was covered in the blood of his enemies.
"K-kakashi?" Rin asked in an almost scared tone. Kakashi turned and saw that Rin was right next to Obito's body, tears streaming down her face, being covered up by the rain. Rin then pointed to Kakashi's eye, when Kakashi touched it to feel what was there, he saw that it was blood, 'But I didn't get hit at all, what happened?" He thought right before he remembered just what happened minutes ago.
Kakashi looked at Obito's body, and he wanted to morn for his friend, but he had a mission to do, he was going to bring Rin home, he wasn't going to loose any more teammates today. Not if he could stop it. And even though the Uchiha never finished his last sentence, Kakashi had a feeling that it was about him taking care of Rin.
Flashback End
"We're almost there Rin, come on, we can make it." Kakashi called out as the two were about to enter the Village. Kakashi called to the two gate keepers to open the gate up for them. And after showing them his ID, the two guards opened up the walls to the Village. Kakashi and Rin entered the Village, with the help of one of the guards, while the other raced to the hospital to get some help for the two teammates. All the while, Kakashi was trying to remain hopeful that Kushina could help them with the seal and that it wasn't too late. Even though it had been awhile that he had spoken to his Sensei's girlfriend, he knew that there was no one who had more experience and mastery in skills than the Uzumaki Heiress herself. He only hoped that she wasn't out on a mission since she seemed to be taking a lot of missions lately, and that was why he hadn't seen her in so long. At least that was what Minato had told him when he asked.
They didn't make it too far after, before they were greeted by some medical nins, who then carried the two toward the hospital. "We're going to make it Rin, I'm going to go and get Kushina-sama and she will be able to make everything all right, I promise." Kakashi said, and after seeing Rin nod her head weakly, Kakashi then Shunshinned to his sensei's house, hoping that either one of them was there. He knocked on the door, and after seeing no one answer the door, Kakashi began to worry, 'what if they aren't home and the seal on Rin begins to kills her. It's already making her weaker, so we don't have much time le-'
Kakashi was interrupted from his thoughts when he heard an incredibly loud "RRRRRRROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRRR" come from behind him. He felt the ground shake from underneath him, and when he turned around, he prayed to every god he knew that this was all just some nightmare he was having.
For before his eyes, he saw a gigantic fox that was even giant from the distance he was at, standing with a look of anger on his face, while the 9 tails behind him kept smashing on the ground, destroying trees and any wild life that was unlucky enough to be in that area at the time.
'Oh Kami! what is that! How did the Kyuubi get here?, I thought that it died when the Shodaime Hokage's wife died.'
Uzumaki-Namikaze house, hours before
"Are you sure it's happening right now?" Minato said in a half worried, half happy tone.
"YES OF COURSE IT"S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW YOU BAKA! WHY ELSE WOULD I BE SCREAMING AND HAVING CONTRA-AAAAGGGHHHHH!." Kushina screamed as she felt another contraction. She started giving Minato a look that seemed to promise that as soon as this was over, he would be receiving pain that would even make someone like Hidan beg for mercy.
Minato on the other hand, was almost crying tears of joy. After having so many hardships with the war going on, now was the time that something good would come out of it. He was finally going to be a father to two beautiful children.
"MINATO, GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET ME TO THE HOSPITAL RIGHT NOW!" Kushina screamed, Minato nodded his head so fast it seemed as if his head would fall off. He grabbed his wife and focused on the kunai he had stored in the secret hideout that they had setup before hand just in case Kushina's seal broke.
Minato set Kushina down on the bed that they had made for her for when her water broke. Then hirashinned away, and came back later with the medical staff that he would definitely need for this.
And then the doctors went to work. Helping Kushina in any way possible, while Minato was right by Kushina's side to watch for her seal. Though, since he didn't know a lot about seals, he didn't exactly know what to look for, only for what Kushina had told him. Contrary to what most people believed, it was actually Kushina who made the seal for the Hirashin and gave it to Minato, saying that she had no real need to have it, since the Council never let her out of the Village anyway ever since she was kidnapped. Though that did not mean that Kushina was weak in any way. Determined to bring honor and pride to her clan, Kushina practiced for years in two of their three specialties: Sealing and Kenjutsu. She had gotten so good in kenjutsu, that she had even taken up an apprentice recently by the name of Uzuki Yuugao, a 12 year old girl who was the dead last in her class and was determined to get better by any means necessary, and who better to teach her than from a Kunoichi who was said to be able to rival Tsunade Senju, and the best Kenjutsu user in the entire village.
Since the creation of the Hirashin, Kushina had tutored Minato in the art of seals and had gotten Minato to Jiraiya's level of seal making. Though, neither of the two could compare to Kushina in any way since she was from the Uzumaki clan, who would need to be Jiraiya and Minato's level of seals to even be considered Chunnin level.
So Minato stood by Kushina's side while the doctors helped her out in any way they could, while Kushina screamed in pain and squeezed Minato's hand, making it turn a shade of red that would make her hair jealous. After what seemed like eternity to the both of them, they heard a strong cry and saw the doctor carrying a beautiful baby. After the doctors checking him over, they looked up at Kushina and said "This one's a boy, congratulations you two." With a smile behind their masks.
The boy seemed to take most of his mothers features, he had her trademarked red hair and a roundish face that made him resemble a tomato. It seemed the only thing he had inherited from his dad was how his hair seamed to be spiking up once they wiped it off with a towel. The thing that made him different however, were the 3 red marks that had adorned his cheeks. They looked like whiskers, but when the doctors wiped them, they didn't move at all, showing them that they were only birthmarks.
"Okay, that's one down, now one more to go, Kushina-san, I know your tired, but I need you to push just a couple more times." The doctor said in a calming voice as he handed the baby over to Minato so he could carry his newborn son. Kushina screamed out in pain again as she pushed again and again to get the second twin to come out. While Minato looked carefully at her seal so that he could seal it if the time came.
After a few more hours of this, they heard another strong little cry, though this one had a higher pitch to it's voice, and saw the doctor hold up another baby. After doing the same process they had done to the first child the doctor said "It's a girl."
The girl seemed to take on her father features more than her brother had, adoring Minato's blonde hair, and a little of his facial features. On the outside, if you were to look at both twins, you wouldn't even think they were related, but the one thing they had in common that showed they were was the whisker like birthmarks that had also made their way onto the baby girls face.
"Meet your two new children Kushina-san." The doctor said as she walked over to Kushinas side and presented the baby girl, while Minato leaned over and presented the boy. Though she was awfully tired from having just given birth, she looked over at her children and a large smile was brought upon her face as she watched her two beautiful children who happened to be sleeping peacefully thanks to the nurses calming them down. "After nine months, I finally get to meet you two." Kushina said with an exhausted but joyful voice. "Have you two decided on the names yet?" The nurse asked as she grabbed the baby from Minato's arms, Minato looked at Kushina then back at the nurse and the two gave a nod at the same time. "We decided a few months ago that the boy will be named Naruto. As for the girl, well, let's let he mother decide that one." Minato said as he turned to Kushina's exhausted form, "I think her name should be Himawari (Sunflower), it fits with her hair color." Kushina decided as she looked upon her daughters hair. Everyone nodded at her choice and Minato came closer to her side. As the feeling start to sink in, Minato and Kushina both started getting happier and happier, with Minato proclaiming "ha ha...! I'm a father now...!"
"Alright, I know it's rough having just given birth, but we need to completely suppress the Kyuubi again." Minato said as he put his hands over Kushina's seal. Kushina gave a reluctant nod as he did so.
But before he could seal it again. He heard an emotionless voice say "Not so fast Konoha no Kiiroi Senko (Konoha's Yellow Flash)." Minato turned and was frightened by the sight of two dead nurses and two men wearing black cloaks, though one had a mask on with one hole on it for the eye, and the other had no mask, allowing Minato to look at his face. Though, the mans face was someone Minato had never seen before. He had a rather plain face, that seemed to show as much emotion as Danzo's a ROOT ninjas did, while his eyes were brown and while his jet black hair seemed to remain flat no matter what. The thing that frightened Minato almost to death was that the unmasked man was holding Naruto and Himawari in his arms. "Namikaze Minato...step away from the Jinchuriki... or else your two children will die after their first minute." The masked man threatened as he put his hands over the two children's sleeping faces. "Wh-Who are you...!?" Minato asked as he stared at the two men. Just then, Kushina let out a groan of pain, "Kushina!" Minato exclaimed as he stared at his wife's form. 'the Kyuubi is still trying to escape' Minato thought.
"Hurry up and move away from the jinchuriki, don't you care what happens to these little gaki's?" the masked man asked in an emotionless voice. "Wait!...Stay calm!" Minato said with a scared tone in his voice. "Speak for yourself. I am supremely calm." The masked man said.
Having enough of this, Minato grabbed a kunai out of his pouch and Hirashinned to the man holding his children and stabbed him through the chest, while making to grab the two children from his grasp.
Though, to his surprise, the man didn't falter, or even loosen his grip on the two children he was holding. When Minato looked down, he saw that the man wasn't even bleeding from the stab wound in his chest. "Minato! Naruto! Himawari!" Kushina shouted as she watched the seen from her bed. "Bad move Yondaime Hokage." The man said as the unmasked man quickly tossed the two children into Minato's arms, who gave a surprised gasp and held the two kids, while the masked man raised a kunai, aiming for his back. "Urgh!" Minato said as he had to Hirashin away.
Minato reappeared back in his and Kushina's home and saw that neither kids were hurt, or had even awoken by the commotion going on. "(phew)...Naruto and Himawari aren't hurt" Minato said as he laid them both down on the bed. 'He forced me to use the Hirashin... His target was Kushina...so he seperated us, but how did that man not even flinch as I stabbed him with a kunai? Was it a jutsu or a kekkei genkai?" Either way I have to hurry or he might kill Kushina, or worse, unleash the Kyuubi.' Minato thought as he grabbed his trademark Kunai and started racing out of the door.
Meanwhile, back at the cave, the two men were now approaching the weakened Kushina, who had a look of fear on her face. "Wh-What are you two go-going to d-do?" She asked fearfully. "I'm going to extract the Kyuubi from you and crush Konoha once and for all." The masked man said, and with that, Kushina saw a red eye activate behind the hole in his mask and the next thing she knew, she felt the Kyuubi chakra leaving her completely.
"Watch out, once it forms, tons of debris will come falling down on top of us, I'm sure master will not like you dying all because of some debris." The emotionless man said as he looked at the forming chakra. The masked man simply nodded his head and said "Now! Come on out Kyuubi!"
As he said that, the chakra formed and the large physical form of the Kyuubi broke the cave and caused the ceiling to come crashing down on them. The two men kept dodging the falling rocks, while luckily enough, none seemed to come crashing down on Kushina's body.
The Kyuubi then looked at his form for a little, as if it couldn't believe that it was finally out, then let out the same bloodthirsty roar that interrupted Kakashi from his thoughts.
"Now, it's time to take care of Konoha, once and for all." The masked man said as he started walking away from the collapsed cave. He had only taken a couple of steps when he heard "(Ugh)...Wait." He turned around and saw a very weaken Kushina trying to get up from her bed and confront the two men behind her.
"My my my... You Uzumaki clan are just amazing. You don't die right away when the beast is distracted. Master will want to hear about this. Well, it won't matter for long, and since he was sealed inside you, it's only fair if he has the chance to kill you." The man said, then the Kyuubi turned his head and looked at Kushina's form and raised a hand to crush her.
As he raised his hand, the two men saw a piece of metal fly over to Kushina and land right next to her, before the Kyuubi could crush Kushina, they saw a yellow flash and then saw that all the Kyuubi had crushed was a bed and some rocks.
"They don't call him flash for nothing it seems. No matter, it's too late for him to do anything now." The masked man said to his partner.
Minato reappeared at their house and Kushina at first was shocked to see him here, but then her mind immediately started to worry, "Minato...are the kids...are the kids alright?" She asked weakly. Minato didn't say anything, but instead opted to take her to the two. He entered their bedroom and Kushina looked over to the bed and saw the sleeping forms of her two children.
Minato laid Kushina down by the two and said "You rest easy now, just be with Naruto and Himawari. I love you Kushina-chan." Kushina looked over and saw that Minato was zipping up his flak jacket and grabbing more of his gear. He started walking out of the room and before she could say anything to him, he used the Hirashin to disappear completely.
Kakashi right now was currently running along multiple other ninjas toward the Fox. Though, with all that had happened in just the past 24 hours, Kakashi didn't feel as if he were mentally fit for fighting right now. He needed to know if Rin would be okay, as far as he knew, the seal had either been removed from her at the hospital, or it had already killed her, leaving Kakashi as the only living member of Team Minato. Kakashi shook his had at that thought 'No! that's not going to happen! I'm going to find Kushina-sama and she will be able to reverse all of this. But where is she?, I don't see her or Minato-sensei anywhere.' Kakashi thought as he and the other ninjas, Anbu to Chunnin alike, raced from tree to tree to go and face the Kyuubi in battle, even though they knew they were sure to loose.
If it wasn't for the man leading them, than they all would have already started to retreat as they saw the Kyuubi also starting to make his way over to Konoha. That man being the third strongest ninja the village had ever had, thus making him the Sandaime Hokage (remember, Minato hasn't become Hokage yet in this story) and known far and wide as the Shinobi no Kami (God of Shinobi), Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Thanks to his inspirational speech, they all rallied behind him and they started making their way to the demon. Though since the Kyuubi was going a lot faster than they were, it didn't take too long before they were staring at the running feet of the Kyuubi. "GET READY!" Sarutobi yelled and all ninja, including himself, got into their respective taijutsu stances. Though everyone immediately broke lines when they saw the Kyuubi ignore them and run right over them and continue running towards the village.
All the ninja turned and were horrified as they saw the Kyuubi do a jump and land right in the center of the village. The ninjas then stood and watched as he easily started destroying every and anything it saw. They stood by and watched as his claws ripped through buildings, and as each individual tail smashed down onto the ground, killing any civilian withing it's range.
With new found vigor, the Hokage shouted at all of his ninja "DO NOT DESPAIR, FOR THE WILL OF FIRE WILL TRIUMPH OVER EVEN THIS BEAST!" And all the ninja watched as the somewhat elderly Hokage sprinted at top speed towards the village. As they saw their leader, the ninjas then knew that what he said was and had been proven true and they all let out a war cry and started following their leader to battle again.
Hiruzen was well aware that all the ninja he had at his disposal that were combat ready were with him, but doing a quick backwards glance, he noticed that he hadn't spotted a mop of blonde hair. 'Minato, where are you? The village needs you.' thought as he raced back to the village. Taking one more backward glance, he did spot a mop of gravity defying grey hair and thought that the young jonin would be able to know where his unofficial successor. Falling a little bit behind, he let the ninja catch up to him and soon enough was running right next to Kakashi, "Kakashi-kun, where is Minato?" He asked in a worried but low tone, so that no ninja could hear him. "I don't know Hokage-sama, I've been looking for him everywhere, is it possible that Minato-sensei is out of the village right now because of a mission?" Kakashi asked. Hiruzen then realized why Minato wasn't with them, and felt the need to face palm himself for not realizing it, 'I'm such an idiot, Kushina must have gone into labor earlier today and that's how the Kyuubi was released! So I already have one of my strongest ninja gone, that makes it all the more important that Minato be here right now.' Hiruzen thought to himself while also feeling sad as he realized that the red haired Uzumaki must be dead if the Kyuubi was outside of it's seal.
"Hokage-sama?" Kakashi said as he looked at this leader. "Kakashi-kun, we might have to do this without Minato's help, for if what I suspect happened, has happened, then Minato might be too troubled with grief for him to fight with us." The Hokage said to the young jonin. Leaving Kakashi to wonder what happened to his sensei that was so bad. 'Was Kushina-sama killed on a mission or something, what happened, Minato-sensei has always been there for us when we needed him.' Kakashi thought as they raced back to the village.
Minato meanwhile, had been hunting down the two men that had caused all of this to happen to Konoha. He wasn't having any luck however, for every acre of forest he crossed, it seemed the two men that did this had just vanished completely. He was about to give up, until her heard what seemed the like the crunching of twigs and leafs. He ran off to where the noise was and sure enough, spotted the two men walking casually out of the village.
The two men stopped and the one with no mask said "It seems as if we have been found, Master will not like it if you are killed." "Yes, I know, but that is what you are here for." And with that said, the no mask man nodded and turned to face Minato, while the other seemed to disappear into the ground.
Minato was about to go after the masked man, but after seeing him disappear, 'Does he have a kekkei genkai as well?, or is that some kind of time-space jutsu that I haven't seen before.' Minato thought as he then looked and saw the other man, was getting a kunai out to face the blonde haired shinobi. And so, Minato got into his taijutsu stance, and saw that the other man was getting into his. Minato then threw the kunai at the man used the Hirashin (flying thunder god) and teleported right in front of the man again, and stabbed him one more time in the same place he had before. "Do you ever learn?" The man said while getting ready to bring his kunai down onto Minato and the blonde shinobi quickly used a Kawarimi (Substitution) to quickly replace himself with a log and get away from the man. "My, you are fast, but will you be able to be fast enough today?" The man said, "What are you talking about?" Minato said with a strict face he only used for his enemies. "All I'm saying is that you have to first deal with me, and you have to take care of the Kyuubi, along with another surprise that is sure to come your way soon enough."
This made Minato's confident and strict face falter for a little, facing the Kyuubi and trying to find a way to kill this man would be hard enough, but now he had to deal with the next 'surprise.' Minato wasn't sure he could do it all. "What are you plotting?" Minato asked, "Oh, I haven't actually done anything, now has my partner nor my master, it's about what Kiri has done. Though I should give them credit, without them, the plan had a chance that it could fail." The man said, which made Minato only worry even more, the way the man said, even in an emotionless tone that he had, it sounded that he knew that there was no way for this to fail. No matter what happened. Knowing he had to get back to the village and quickly, Minato threw the kunai at the man again, but this time prepared a Rasengan and used the Hirashin to reappear at the man again. "Using the same attacks won't always get you the same result, just a tip." The man said, but what he wasn't prepared for was Minato thrusting a Rasengan into his chest, which caused him to spiral and be thrown back and hit a tree. Minato ran up to him and checked him, and noticed that there was no pulse on his neck. 'That's one threat down, hopefully they are all this easy to take care of." Minato thought as he started making his way back to the village, but since he knew what he was running to, he couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding.
"What are your orders Hokage-sama?" One of the ninja asked as they neared the village. "As soon as we get there, I want a squad of two to go and make sure everyone has evacuated the village. Start with the hospital and then go and check the safe-room we have in the Hokage Monument. Kakashi, find someone else and go and evacuate anyone you see." The Sarutobi said. Kakashi nodded and grabbed another jonin, and together the two seperated from the pack of ninjas and headed off to the Hospital. Kakashi for one, was somewhat happy that he could head and check up on Rin, even if it was to check and see if she was still alive. 'Maybe the doctors identified the seal on her stomach and were able to remove it from her.' Kakashi thought as he raced with the other nin towards the hospital.
As they entered the building, Kakashi and his partner looked around and saw the entire hospital was in disarray trying to evacuate the patients. And seeing as how Konoha was still fighting a war, the entire hospital was filled to the brim with ninja's who had been injured fighting the enemy. Kakashi and his partner agreed to separate so that the partner could evacuate the higher levels of the hospital, while Kakashi evacuated the lower levels.
Evacuating everyone turned out to be easier said than done. With the Kyuubi's roars being heard all over the place, and his attacks causing the entire hospital to shake and seem as if it would fall down. Within all this mayhem, all the doctors were running to different patients and different rooms to help and move them, but Kakashi could see that they were panicking on the inside and would much rather leave while they still could.
Standing by the doorway, Kakashi started hurrying the doctors and patients on beds out of the door, while looking out for the Kyuubi. As the patients exited the hospital, Kakashi would also do a quick glance to see if any of them were Rin. Even after what seemed like forever of helping these people leave, he still hadn't seen her and was starting to get worried that she might have died form the seal and the doctors had taken her outside the hospital for burial when the Kyuubi attacked. Kakashi saw his partner at the back of the room with what he assumed to be the last of the patients and was about to give up hope of ever seeing his teammate alive again, but for the last patient, he was greeted to the sight of a girl with purple Inuzuka like markings on her cheeks. Kakashi's eye watered a little as he saw that the girl was in fact okay, but then saw her face and all he could see was a look that seemed to be begging someone to kill her to make the pain go away.
"Rin, Rin are you okay?" He asked in a hurrying and scared tone. Rin didn't seem to hear him because of how much pain she was in. He looked up at his partner and said "Get a doctor back here to come and take a look at her." The jonin nodded and was about to leave, but before he could he felt something grab his arm and looked down to see the girl looking at him with pain clear in her eyes, but also with a look that said 'don't.'
The jonin nodded his head again, and looked back up at Kakashi's masked face and he felt that he needed to give them a moment. He looked down at the girl and she gave a slight nod towards him, before he shunshinned away from them to go and assist in the Kyuubi attack.
Kakashi grabbed Rin's hand and looked at her, "I'm going...to be...be fine Kakashi." Rin said in between clenching her teeth from the pain she was experiencing. Kakashi nodded his head at her, though he was pessimistic at what she was saying. Rin saw the sad look his eye seemed to give off and before she could say anything, she screamed out in pain and clenched her stomach. "RIN!" Kakashi yelled and grabbed the girl and started heading off towards the Kyuubi "Kakashi... What are...you doing?" Rin barely managed to get out as she was being carried, she currently had her eyes closed, so she was unable to see the sight before her.
Kakashi took a slight pause as he looked out into the village again. The Kyuubi seemed to want to make sure no one or thing would be spared in his assault. Buildings were either completely destroyed or were on fire and partially destroyed, while the landscape around him seemed to resemble Iwagakure (Hidden Stone Village) rather than the village the land was located in. All around him was just bare dirt that had craters in it and ash on the ground. Kakashi shook his head and said "I'm going to take you to Hokage-sama, even though he is busy with the Kyuubi, he is the only other person I know right now that can help you." With that, Kakashi took off at top speed to the Kyuubi once more, but stopped as he felt a knew powerful chakra surface from no where.
Normally, Kakashi would be relieved at feeling such a strong chakra, maybe it was Minato's and he was coming to fight off the Kyuubi. But he knew that that was the least likely option, for this chakra felt just as evil as the Kyuubi's did, and what made him worry was where he felt it coming from.
He looked down at the girl in his arms, and his eyes widened at what he saw
Coming out of the seal on the poor girls stomach. Was a red bubbling chakra leaking and it showed no signs of stopping anytime soon.
And that is chapter 1, hope you guys enjoyed it, sorry for the cliffhanger if your the kind of person who doesn't like that. Review and favorite.
