Now, without further adieu, behold The Birth of The Immortal!
Resurrection
"Ow! That hurt 'ttebayo!"
"Ha! See? You said it again!"
"I did not 'ttebayo!"
"You just did it again!"
"SHUT UP!"
~A conversation in Purgatory.
"Waaaaaah!"
"Waaaaaah!"
The twin infants wailed as the masked man snatched one and poised a dangerous hand toward the child. The blond, Naruto, lay helpless, bundled up in a blanket within the arms of the Masked Man while the redhead, Nakaru, wailed in the arms of his mother, Kushina whom was still weak from childbirth and even moreso given that she had twins. Namikaze Minato's glanced at the murdered nurses at their feet, blue eyes filling with rage as the unknown man threatened him.
"Hand over the Nine-Tails immediately or the child shall meet it's end before it even began."
Just as quickly as the sentence was uttered, the Yondaime Hokage was gone, ceasing to exist in this current space. Suddenly, the weight in his arms seemed lighter than it was only moments ago. Looking down, instead of the whiskered face of the blonde baby boy in his arms, he saw a bundled blanket of paper bombs. And then the Fourth appeared on the other side of the room with Naruto in his arms.
"You're more talented than I give you credit for, Lord Fourth."
And then, the bombs erupted. Unfortunately, the attack missed and, as a result, Minato wasn't fast enough the stop the Uchiha from grabbing his wife and, as a side effect, his son, Nakaru. "Damnit!", he cursed under his breath. Not only did this enemy to the Hidden Leaf Village have his wife and child, but he also had the Nine-Tails, now. No! Screw the Nine-Tails! Yeah, screw the Nine-Tails, he stole the love of his life from him and tried to kill his children. He wasn't just an enemy to the Leaf.
Now, he was an enemy to him.
(Just Outside of Konoha)
"Unsealing Jutsu."
Nakaru wailed at the sight of his mother screaming in agony as the strongest of the Tailed Beasts was ripped from her body. But, suddenly the Jutsu was interrupted and the Biju was sucked back into Kushina. A Space-Time Jutsu had been used and just as quickly as something-or rather someone-flew through the rift of the technique, the Masked Man quite literally was flung by a powerful kick to the head. A man stood there, a dark hooded cloak, ripped around his ankles at the hemline, obscuring his identity. "You're not getting away this time!" Nakaru tore away his eyelids, revealing his pair of twin grey orbs reminiscent to that of his mother, just in time to catch a glimpse at the stranger's piercing, rimmed violet eyes. Kushina gasped as the kanji chains holding her broke and she fell. The cloaked stranger suddenly appeared before her, catching her in his arms as her body fell limp from exhaustion. She looked up at her savior as he stared down at her. Pulling the hood of his cloak down, he blinked away his Rinnegan, revealing grey orbs oddly reminiscent to her own, and looked at the Uzumaki through his spiky scarlet bangs.
"Hey, are you okay?"
He helped her up and then went for the baby. Picking up Nakaru, he wiggled a finger under his chin, tickling him. The man smiled when the baby giggled and looked up at him. He gave the baby to Kushina as he pulled out a kunai, but not just any kunai though, she realized. That was her husband's kunai. She immediately went on the defensive. "Where did you get that?" She indicated the kunai as she took half a step away from him. "Oh.", he said. "This was a gift from dad." She looked at him incredulously as he said this. "Yeah, Minato was a bit of drag, but I gotta love him. 'Cause he's my dad, ya'know?" Kushina's eyes widened so far, the man feared they'd pop out of her head. It all made sense now; his use of a Time Space Jutsu and his remarkable resemblance to her and her son. She looked down at the newborn and then back and him and watched as a smile slowly plucked at the corners of his lips.
"Nakaru…?"
"Yep.", he told her. "Hey, mom." Grey met grey and the two stared at each other for what seemed like an eternity. "How…?" "It seems you already know the answer to that question.", he interjected. "I'm from the future.", he told her. "And that man.", he pointed to the Masked Man still recovering from his attack. "Is gonna start the Fourth Great Ninja War. And the first part in history that will allow us to beat him-", he stopped himself as he choked, tears spilling over his eyelids as he looked away, trying to hide them. "Is for you and dad to die. Today." Kushina gasped as he pricked his finger with the kunai, allowing precious lifeblood to flow free. "And for the Kyuubi to be sealed within someone else." He hugged her then, even as the Masked Man got up and charged at them. "I love you, mom." He lifted her back up onto the rock she was held in chains in earlier. Taking the baby, he made a deal and the kanji chains came back to life and lifted her up and back into place. She gave him a teary nod and he hid with the child.
"Oh.", the man said as he moved to stand back into place. "It seems he fled." He paused. "With the child and not you. 'Tis a shame."
The future Nakaru snarled, but before his emotions got the better of him, he flashed away.
(The Hidden Leaf Village)
"Oh my god! It's the Nine-Tails!"
Every single head in the entire village turned to the sky and just as many people blanked. The insanely familiar, nightmare-inducing crimson fur of the strongest of the Biju wafted in the breeze as it loomed over them, barring its teeth in a defiant snarl. The double tomoe of the Uchiha bloodline swirled in its eyes atop a blood red canvas. It raised a clawed hand above the village and with a mighty roar, slammed it down upon the unprepared civilians and Shinobi alike.
"RRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRGGHHH!"
The attack never came. To put it simply, as quickly as the clawed hand of the Biju had descended upon them, it had simply stopped, regardless that it was just feet from the ground. All eyes searched for the reason of its halt and eventually they found it. Like a star burning bright, the figure stood straight, one arm above his head, an open palm holding the beast's at bay. "Everyone okay?", he asked. At everyone's awestruck nod, he made a hand sign and pulse of chakra from his ethereal golden cloak spread outward across the Kyuubi's hand. Then, it shuddered and the Kitsune pulled back its hand as if it had been stung.
"Kage Bunshin."
A single shadow clone appeared by his side and helped to circulate the special technique of the Yondaime within the original's palm. Swirling, cerulean wind chakra rotated feverishly in his palm by the time the clone was dispelled. "Listen.", Nakaru began as he all but jumped, soaring upward until he was eye-level with the Biju. "I don't wanna hurt you." His grey eyes suddenly became blood red, vertically slitted pupils regarding the Kyuubi balefully. "But, it comes down to it, I will kill you. So, what's it gonna be, Kurama?"
That seemed to get his attention if the disappearance of the Sharingan in his eyes was enough indication. But, he only seemed angrier.
"RRROOOOOOAAAAAARRRRGGHHH!"
"Fine! You've got it!"
The Jutsu almost instantaneously grew to massive portions before the eyes of the villagers as the unnamed-to them at least-Shinobi rocketed the sphere forward, meshing flesh and fur together and then, grinding into bone.
"CHOU ODAMA RASENGAN!"
The Kyuubi no Kitsune howled in pure, unrestrained agony as the wind chakra ripped away flesh and met bone before exploding outwardly. The blast at least tripled the sphere in size and power and it caused him to be ripped from his position above the village, landing on his back safely within the forest surrounding Konoha. He blotted out the cheers from below him in complete concentration and alighted soundlessly upon a rooftop, performing the tiger seal and allowing two clones to burst into existence beside him via plumes of smoke. He nodded at them.
"You know what to do."
In a flash, they disappeared and the battle waged on.
