Chapter One: A Dark Promise (Prologue)
"Ryuk-sama you can't go in right now!" A young man with a mountain of scrolls in his arms called chasing after an older blond. "The Hokage-sama is in a-"
"I couldn't care less as to what he's doing at the moment." The older man said coldly sending fear down the spines of several on lookers.
"B-but Hokage-sama clearly said-"
"And I said I couldn't careless" Ryuk said for the second time. "Now if you think you can stop me then you're welcome to try." He finished with a twisted grin upon his features.
"N-no sir…" whispered the boy bowing his head slightly as Ryuk continued on his way. Entering the office slowly, Ryuk scanned among the faces until he met with eyes similar to his own, but of a lighter more gentle shade.
"Ah, neesan, how nice of you to join us." Called the Yondaime Hokage with a grin. In the room with him was the Sandaime Hokage, his perverted sensei Jiraiya, his student Kakashi, and one red haired woman. All of whom had eyes on Ryuk as if trying to dissect the man and see what he came for.
"I would like to talk to you Minato" Ryuk said eyes narrowed in annoyance." In private." Ryuk added through clenched teeth trying to control controlling his growing frustration at the man before him.
Minato's smile faltered a bit as he answered. "I see…" he said calmly keeping his disposition the same as always as he lifted a hand to his chin in mock thought.
"Well, if the four of you could excuse me we will continue this tomorrow." Minato said bowing his head slightly. "Oh and Sarutobi-San I still think that Naruto would be a good name."
"That's only because of what Kushina-san said." Smiled the old man as he noticed the visible shudder come from his protégé. Making their way out, the woman was the only one left aside from the brothers.
"Kushina-San are you coming?" Kakashi asked lazily as Sarutobi and Jiraiya looked back at the woman also, a few feet from the door.
"Ah don't worry I won't be long Kushi-Chan!" said Minato with a boyish grin upon his face.
"You better not be." she whispered pecking him on the cheek before walking towards the door and closing it behind her, but not before throwing a glance at Ryuk. Just as the door had closed Minato had walked out from around his desk facing the open window, and looking down upon the village.
"Is there anything in particular that you would like to discuss with me neesan?" Minato asked turning his head slightly in his direction to show he now had his direct attention attention.
"Why yes there is something that I would like to talk about" He broke out. "You and I both know what that is; why else would you send them out of the room so suddenly and not let them stay especially Sandaime-Sama?" Ryuk hissed glaring into his brother's eyes
Sighing Minato suddenly twisted in the direction of his beloved brother sporting a glare of his own. "Ryuk, how many times do I have to tell you th-"
"I know what you have told me and I don't care. You and I both know that" Ryuk seethed giving his older brother a dark look. "Our clan has guarded this- this power for centuries, and you can't think to use it to protect our Village, our people, our loved ones, Ku -"
"Shut Up Ryuk…" Minato hissed his voice cold and void of emotion. In life there were several things Minato Namikaze hated. He hated paperwork his loved ones harmed, war and being interrupted and right now his dear sibling was doing that right now. "I know what our clan has been charged with doing…" "I know it could easily secure Konoha's power as top of the Five Great Shinobi Nations…" "But I refuse to do anything else but use my own power to protect this village, and keep that threat away from my precious friends" With that he turned sharply and went back to his desk preparing to depart for home.
"How can you say that so easily?!" Snarled Ryuk. "How can you speak so simply of such matters after all that's happened?!" "Have you forgotten the rumors? HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ABOUT OBITO!??! He roared breathing heavily now exhausted from his ranting.
"You know Ryuk, ever since we had lost so many men during the last Great War; you have been acting very odd." "It would do you well to check your self" Minato said putting his papers in a drawer knowing the last thing Ryuk said had struck a nerve with that comment on Obito, but chose not to show it. "Hokages don't react to this..." "I'll see you back home neesan", Minato replied to Ryuk .
"It that's the way you want things brother, so be it. The next time see each other you will fall due to your lack of reason". He whispered leaving the office quietly passing the same young man he yelled at earlier
"Sensei I don't know what I am going to do with him, he's been acting odd for quite some time." "He rarely dines with the rest of the clan, his teammates hardly hear from, and we don't talk to each other unless it's for yelling and insults " Minato said with a stressed sigh.
"I have no idea, but your right Minato." "Ever since he lost what was precious to himto the War he's changed, I used to think Orochimaru was secretive before he abandoned the village , but your brother takes the cake." Jiraiya said while taking a slurped of his Ramen. "It would do you well to keep an-."
Just as Jiraiya was about to finish his thought, a horror struck Kakashi came bursting through the doors sweating like a pig and as pale as a ghost.
"Kakashi, what's wrong?" Minato suddenly asked as he and Jiraiya rushed quickly to the trembling Jounin. "Sensei I-it's the Namikaze manor you have to come quick there was an assault!"
"What!?" At his words the three had rushed through the streets of Konoha to reach the compound as fast as possible.
"Please don't let it be what I feared gods, please I beg of you." was Minato's silent prayer. He had the distinct feeling something like this would occur for, months, but he was to stupid and stubborn to realize it.
As they finally reached the area, they were met with a site to behold. "By the God of Death…" was all Jiraiya was able to breath as he gazed upon the horror to behold. Scattered throughout the main grounds there were bodies of clansmen or Jounin either wounded or unconscious.
Quickly Minato scanned the area until he found who he was looking for "Father!" Minato yelled rushing to his side.
"What happened, who did this!? Tell Me!!!" The aged Touga Namikaze gave a strained cough as he spoke. "Your brother has betrayed the village and our clan, he is no longer the one you call neesan, Ryuk is no more..."
Just as Touga slipped into unconsciousness several Jounin lead by Kushina arrived behind him. "Mi-kun?" she whispered he voice barely herd by the visibly shaking man. She reached towards the one she loved with all her heart but stopped half way unsure of her self. What could she say she had heard every word of what her father in law had said. She her self was on the verge of tears, but refused to cry. No, not here, not in front of her family, nor the others. She herself couldn't believe that Ryuk had done such a thing. She had known him and Yondaime ever since her family moved to Konoha many years ago.
"Jiraiya-sensei please tell the Council of Elders that from this day forward Ryuk Namikaze is to be seen as an S-Class Criminal in the eyes of the Shinobi Nation. Also, that if there is any sighting of him, he is to be taken down with full force no exceptions".
This last part had made everyone's blood run cold as if one ice. No one had heard or seen like this in years. He may have been known as the Yellow Flash of Konoha Village, but his unofficial title was The hand of death "Understood Yondaime" Jiraiya choked out before disappearing in a puff of smoke not wanting to stir his pupils anger.
"I want the rest of you who are able to secure all gates of the village, and half to scan the perimeter of the village."
As Minato finished his words no one moved a muscle. "Was if singing to myself? NOW!" He barked turning into the main building of the estate causing everyone except Kushina, the injured and the medics to flee like headless chickens.
Kushina watched as her beloved continued to walk through the halls of the Estate as he was begrudgingly heading for his destination. "I know I shouldn't be following him right now, but my heart says otherwise" "It's funny isn't it Kushi-Chan?," asked Minato surprising his wife as he turned towards his wife eyes locking. What Kushina saw surprised her even more.
Her Minato, her Mi-Kun was shedding tears of sorrow. "Even though I made a promise to myself not to let anther of my loved ones get hurt, I failed my brother when he needed me the most" he chocked. "Mi-Kun" she whispered a single tear flowing down her beautiful face.
" I feel so hopeless, so powerless." " "If I the Yondaime Hokage can't even protect his own family and student, how do I expect to protect this village and you?!" He yelled practically screaming as he feel to his knees. "
Kushina slowly walked towards him and bent down as she wrapped her arms around him as if to pour her own strength into him. Love" she whispered burying he head his neck as more tears poured from her eyes.
"As long as we have each other, we will never let this village or the people within it's walls fall…"
Far upon the far western gates of the village a figure smiled a twisted smile as he gazed in the direction of the Estate.
"And so dear foolsih neesan the first move has been made for both sides. Now I will show you the true power of our heritage that you neglected once and for all! Konoha village will fall towards dawn at the cost of your life!" With that the Rouge Ninja disappeared just minutes before the Jounin came to start their search for him.
