Chapter One: Beginnings

Breathe

I never knew pain like this existed, well I guess that was the aim right?

Breathe

I was an idiot I really was

Breathe

I just wanted it to stop, yah know?

Breathe

But what good would that have done me?

Breathe

It just hurt so damn much!

Breathe

It getting dark… but I suppose that's to be expected

Breathe

BREATHEDAMNITJUSTFUCKINGBREATHE

Please just breathe

My brain was screaming the entire way as it was being dragged further and further into the darkness.

Breathe

And I realized something quite ironic before there was nothing left but the dark

I really hated the color red

Minato in all his 'wisdom' couldn't figure out how he had gotten into this situation. Today was supposed to be the happiest day of his and Kushina's life, and in one measly moment it quickly became the worst.

It had started out with Kushina giving birth and Biwako-san taking the children away so he could finish stabilizing the seal, and then he showed up.

The masked man, who claimed to be Madara

How he had gotten through the seals Minato could still not figure out, but he had gotten both his children and that's when he sprang into action, Kushina's seal momentarily forgotten as he went through the motions of using his Hiraishin to out maneuver the mystery man, but the man wasn't stupid, no not by a long shot.

As soon as both the children were safely in his arms again Minato had to quickly discard their blankets to avoid the explosive tags attached to the back. Forcing him to use Hiraishin to get his newly birthed bundles of joy out of the cross fire, leaving his Kushina alone with that man.

By the time he had reached her again the nine tail had been wretched form its cage and was about to completely obliterate her.

Once again his speed saved another person dear to him.

Taking his Kushina home he laid her beside their children. A blonde baby boy and a red haired baby girl.

"Naruto, Menma…" she sobbed to their children. Steeling his anger and conviction Minato retrieved the Hokage cloak his love diligently had made for him. Sliding it on he prepared himself for the slaughter that was about to ensue.

"Minato…Thank you…good luck…" Kushina whispered in a labored voice.

"I'll be back before you know it," was all he said as he disappeared from view.

Obito was extremely impressed by his old sensei's abilities, but one doesn't gain the name of Hokage by being a slouch after all.

But it was too late for him and The Leaf, both would burn for what he had lost, both would suffer as he had.

The Rasengan still burned his back as he watched his sensei bring his wife and new borns into an open field by the raging Kyuubi. So he was planning to seal it huh?

This could be interesting after all.

Minato had no other choice, he had to seal the nine tails into his children, Kushina couldn't take that kind of strain, she was already suffering from just trying to hold the beast back with her chakra chains.

Going through the hand signs for the Reaper Death Seal, he would save his wife and children at any cost, but before he could finish the last and sign a sting met cheek.

"What….huff…do you think….your doing?" Kushina hissed out as she struggled to stand, "I wont survive this…but you will Minato! Not only for our children, but for the village as well!"

Holding his cheek all he could do was stare

"You're going to seal the nine tails into the children…right?" violet eyes met blue eyes, "Do a proper 8 trigram seal…and live on! I am happy that I was able to see the birth of our children and you becoming Hokage, my only regret would be not being able to see our children grow up, but you will Minato!"

Hot tears rolled down his cheeks, he wanted them both to live, for both of them to see their children grow! Why?! Why?! Did this have to happen?...

With tears still rolling down his face Minato Performed the hands signs for the 8 trigram seals and sealed either half of the Kyuubi's chakra into both his children.

Quickly making his way to Kushina Minato held her as the last few sparks of life were leaving her eyes, a sight he never though he would see this early on in either one of their lives.

"Thank you Kushina, for making me your husband, Hokage, and the father of your children!" the tears just wouldn't stop now, "I'll raise them with enough love for the both of us! And I will make sure they know how brave and beautiful their mother was!"

And with that Kushina Uzumaki, jinchuriki of the nine tails, and mother of Menma and Naruto Uzumaki, died.

Obito felt a small pang as he watched his old sensei weep over his wife's body, but both he and the Leaf needed to know what suffering was! What it meant to lose hope in the world. That's when the idea struck him.

In an instance he was next to the alter where the brats were laying. The little yellow one was wailing incessantly, so he was a no go, but the little Kushina look alike was as quiet as a mouse. In a flash he scooped her up and flashed away from the alter.

There, where he had me standing not two seconds ago was a small crater, and above said crater was a very livid Fourth Hokage.

"GIVE MY CHILD BACK!" he roared as he prepared another Rasengan in his hand. In a shock of lightning Minato was behind Obito, but that was fine.

Perfectly fine, in fact.

Using his Kamui Obito appeared behind his enraged sensei and placed a small paper on his back, activating the paper with a small amount of chakra, Obito just stepped back and watched the rest unfold.

Whirling around, with Rasengan still in hand Minato was about to move when he halted. His Rasengan dissipated as he fell to his knees. Seal arrays crawled over his skin, glowing an ominous purple color. As he fell, body convulsing, the cavalry arrived.

Seeing the scene before him unfold Obito couldn't help but smirk behind his mask. The third and his advisors were here, even Bakashi was here to witness this historical moment. As they all were about to advance upon him he held up the still silent bundle in his hand.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you," he mused in a playful tone, "Ill be taking this little girl with me"

He pulled the little baby into himself further.

"And as for that," he pointed to his old teacher who was now unconscious, with medic nin surrounding him, "he'll be taking a nap for a long while, but rest assure he's not dead! I have unfinished business with him."

Obito turned away and prepared for kamui again, when he heard a roar, but this one sounded like it came from a younger man. Tilting his head back he saw his former team mate charging him, Sharingan and chidori raging.

"Give her back!" Obito waited until he was close enough to hear what he wanted him to hear.

"Oh, and when the fourth Hokage wakes up, do tell him about what happened here," his smirk growing by the passing milliseconds, "and that I will be taking good care of his little girl."

And then there, in the once proud Hidden Village of Konoha, was the wreckage...

With that Obito, known as the masked man to Konoha, took Menma Uzumaki.

Child to the Fourth Hokage, jinchuriki, twin to one Naruto Uzumaki, and something more.

But that explanation will have to wait till later
