Hi all, I just want you to know that I am very whimsical when it comes to writing new stories. I just write them when they come into my mind. Therefore, it is my pleasure to start a new story for all of my fans. I know I haven't been around for a while, but I finally got my computer back and I am looking forward to writing two new stories. I will just have to see which one to update more based on fan favoritism. I will therefore be putting all of my other stories on hold while I do this. Thank you.
I do not own Naruto.
"Everyone, make sure the beast doesn't destroy any more of the village. Help lord third until the fourth arrives!" Yelled a frantic leaf shinobi.
It was on this brisk October night that the kyubi no kitsune, strongest of the tailed beasts, decided to attack. The fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, better known as konoha's yellow flash, was nowhere to be found. The previous Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was doing all he could to minimize the damage that was being done to the village. He had summoned the monkey king Enma and had been use the summon as a weapon to fend off the beast. However, He was only barely managing to hold off the giant fox.
"Where are you Minato?" Hiruzen whispered to himself.
(Elsewhere)
Minato was facing a crisis. Kushina was dying and right now Minato was worrying about his twin sons Arashi and Naruto. The master of Haraishin was using his powers to make sure that his children and wife were safe. As Minato was getting ready to leave the room, however, he heard his children crying and turned around to find a masked man holding Arashi.
"Whoever you are, if you want to keep your life you better put my son down." Said a very angered Minato.
"Then you better follow me if you want to stop the nine-tails." Said the masked man as he warped away, leaving the crying Arashi behind.
"I will be right back." He said as he kissed Kushina's forehead and his two sons.
Minato left through the door to go face the mysterious enemy.
(20 minutes later)
Hiruzen was having a great deal of trouble. Even with all of the help from the jounin of the Hidden leaf village, he was having trouble keeping the beast at bay. He was really worried that something happened to one of the children. Hiruzen winced in pain and clutched his side because of the wound that he received. He was starting to get annoyed with this fox and wished that it could fight something its own size.
As if on cue, a giant toad dropped out of the air and landed on the fox. On the toad's head was none other than Minato himself.
"Well look who it is." Said Hiruzen with a chuckle as he clutched his side.
"Yeah I had to deal with some things." Said Minato.
All of the sudden, the toad and Minato went flying as the fox threw them off of it. While they were in the air, the fox charged up a tailed beast bomb and sent it hurtling at the two. Minato was able to jump off of the toad's head in time as the bomb hit causing an explosion. Minato was sent hurtling into a mountain side. While Minato was recovering, the nine tails charged up and fired another tailed beast bomb. This time, however, Minato was ready and he put one of his special kunai out in front of him creating a sealing array in the air. As the bomb hit the array, it seemed to phase through it. However, what Minato didn't realize was that the tailed beast had fired a second bomb. When the second one collided with the first, it caused a huge explosion, knocking Minato out. The last thing he saw as his mind went blank was the Tailed beast preparing another bomb.
"I failed."
When Minato came to, he was in an all white room. At first he thought he was dead. However, he realized that he was being attended to by doctors. He automatically sat up, and one of the doctors came over to him.
"Hokage-sama, you are hurt. You must rest." Said the worried doctor.
"I don't care about that. Where are my wife and kids." Said Minato with a frantic look on his face.
"Minato-sama I-" The doctor didn't finish because Hiruzen walked in. He was bandaged pretty heavily from the attack.
"Unfortunately Minato, Kushina didn't make it." Said Hiruzen as he let the new sink in.
Minato couldn't believe it. The love of his life, his Kushina was dead? Minato tried hard, but he couldn't stop the tears from falling down his face. Wait-
"What about-" He started.
"They're fine, and quite healthy to." Hiruzen said with a smile referring to Minato's children. That was good at least, Minato thought with a sad smile. He was brought out of his musings as Hiruzen took on a serious tone.
"Minato, we have to talk about a few things, but first get some rest. I'll do your work for the time being." Hiruzen said as he left the room.
"What could he be talking about?" Thought Minato.
After Minato got out of the infirmary, he went to the Hokage office where he knew that Hiruzen would be. Once he got there, he saw that Hiruzen was sitting behind the Hokage's desk doing some paperwork for Minato. Minato gave a silent thank you as Hiruzen looked up.
"Ah Minato-kun, I'm glad that you are looking well." Said the Third Hokage with a smile.
"Thank you Third." Minato said, returning the smile. He then remembered why he was here. "You had something you wanted to tell me?"
"Ah yes. You might want want to sit down for this." Hiruzen said as Minato sat down and the Third Hokage started his story.
(Flashback)
The nine tailed fox had knocked out Minato and was preparing one final Bijuu bomb to finish of its adversary. Hiruzen just watch helplessly. He had expended too much energy and had lost too much blood. He watched as the beast gathered all of the energy into its mouth. All that Hiruzen could do was offer up a silent prayer to the heavens and hope that a miracle would happen. Much to his surprise, it did.
As the beast shot the gigantic ball at the mountain range where Minato was unconscious, a brilliant light appeared in the sky. It was like the sun had come out even though it was night time. All of a sudden a giant golden arrow came from the light and collided with the bomb. The resulting explosion was cataclysmic. However, when the dust from the explosion cleared, Hiruzen realized that the brilliant light had subsided.
In place of the light were seven figures. However, Hiruzen guessed that the one that had shot the arrow was the one that was glowing golden. The man had one a toga of sorts that was yellow in color and had what looked like flames. His hair itself was blonde and also had the appearance of being on fire. He also was the one who was carrying a bow. Everything about him spoke of regality and and power. Hiruzen was so caught up with the amount of power this man possessed that he didn't realize the man was descending towards him.
"Mortal, I see you are facing a great threat. I will help you, but it will cost you a price." Said the seemingly burning man. Hiruzen couldn't help but notice that this man's voice was almost impossibly smooth. He barely managed to answer.
"What it y-your price?" He asked the glowing man.
"I want you to seal the eight of us into your strongest warrior." Said the man's smooth voice. This gave Hiruzen an idea.
"Ok." He said before he realized something. "Wait, there were only seven of you."
"There are eight of us." The man responded without hesitation.
"May I ask who you are?" Said the Third Hokage.
"Indeed, I am the god of the sun, archery and many other things. My name is Apollo. However, the rest of us aren't all the gods of Greece." Said the man.
"You all are gods?" Asked Hiruzen incredulously causing the man to simply nod. Then again, this man's power was clearly well beyond anything that Hiruzen had experience. It was even more potent than that of the tailed beast. However, it was more warm and soothing than the monster's. It calmed Hiruzen.
"Ok, I will seal you eight into our strongest warrior." Replied Hiruzen.
The now Identified Apollo simply nodded and flew back into the night sky. As he faced the beast, it gave a horrible shriek into the air. The beast slashed at Apollo who simply dodged and knocked another golden arrow. The tailed beast responded by summoning a huge bomb of energy. It shot off the Bijuu bomb very quickly, but the god was ready. He shot the arrow, which seemed to move extremely fast. It collided with the ball of energy resulting in an explosion. However, much to Hiruzen's surprise, the arrow continued going towards the beast. Upon impact, there was an explosion of fire and the nine tails was set ablaze. It roared in pain and slashed around wildly until it stopped moving. Hiruzen moved into action and summoned a giant ape that picked up the fox which had stopped burning. It carried the fox over to where he knew Kushina and the children would be.
Once he got to the place with the eight figures following him and the giant ape and fox, he immediately checked Kushina for a pulse. He found no pulse and took a moment of silence for the now deceased red hot jabenero. The twin babies seemed catch on and were silent. However, Naruto started crying.
"Let us begin." Hiruzen said as he started the sealing process.
(Flashback end)
Minato couldn't believe all that had happened. It seemed so absurd. Minato got up and left the room silently. He walked through the village and up to the Hokage monument where he was told Kushina was buried. Minato was told that she had a huge funeral and everyone from the village attended. However, the burial consisted of a select group of people on top of Minato's head. As he walked, Minato picked up a flower for his beloved. Once he got up to the spot, he saw a picture of his beautiful wife. He put the flower down and broke down into tears.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't save you Kushina. I'm so sorry." Minato said as he sat on top of his own head and cried.
That is it. Hello, this is the first time in a long time that I have written anything on here. However, I got two great ideas for a Naruto story and a Naruto crossover. I hope that you all liked the introduction. I know that at certain points it was rushed, but overall I think I liked it. If you liked it too then go ahead and leave a comment. Also, try and guess who the other seven gods/goddesses are. I have already picked them out, and I will not be changing them. Leave your guesses in the comments section. Also, I am not completely sure all of the powers that they will give, so you guys might be able to help with that. My hint is that out of the seven others, two are Shinto, two are Greek, one is Hindu, and the other two are Egyptian. Have fun guessing. Also, for those of you that play the ps4 and Destiny, add me. My name is Perpiesquash97 (I know it's weird).
Peace
