Naruto-Upbringing-Prologue
"My
friends; elders of the Konoha council. I will not survive tomorrow."
said the fourth Hokage. There was a small outcry.
"It's true.
I may be good, but I cannot defeat the Kyuubi. No-one can. All I can
do is seal it away. I have a plan." he said, a small, sad smile on
his face. The Hyuuga heir, Hiashi, spoke.
"What will you do?
What can you seal it into?" he asked.
"I have no choice. The
beast can only be sealed into a newborn baby, no more than a day old.
I could not ask anyone to give up their child." he said. It started
to dawn on them what he was suggesting.
"You plan to use your
own son as a vessel." said Shibi Aburame quietly.
"Yes."
said Minato.
"You can't! shouted Tsume Inuzaka.
"Why?"
asked Minato.
"You would rob us of our Hokage and his child in
one stroke?" she asked.
"My son will not die. He will be the
host of the Kyuubi, but he will not die. I beg of you to treat him as
a hero, a martyr."
"We will. What else could we do?" said
Hiashi.
"Thank you." said Minato. "But I have to ask one of
you a favour. I will die tomorrow, that much I know. My wife too will
probably die… someone must look after my son, Naruto." he
said.
"Surely there is more we can do." asked an unlikely
choice, Uchiha Fugaku.
"Possibly. There are techniques I know
that could split the power of the Kyuubi among two hosts, weakening
any effect it ahs upon them. Of course, I have only one child…"
said Minato.
There was silence.
"Please. Someone, looking after my son, even better, allowing your child to share the burden… it would help more than you could imagine."
"I will do it."
