Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto if I did, we would have seen more of Tobi abilities before the war and how he uses them, Don't get me wrong the fight with Minato was amazing, but I hated how it wasn't shown how he killed the ANBU I think it could have been really good if it was.
Authors Note
Alright to all those hates out there GET A DAMN LIFE if you have time to write pointless reviews telling me to kill myself, then you can do something more constructive with your time.
Also if you're going to write a review like that at least have the guts to log in.
Sorry about that but the first few reviews I got were hate mail that told me to go and kill myself for no good reason, and three of them were the same message copy and pasted.
Anyway I hate people like that and would like to thank all the people who are following me and my story and have favourite it, especially those who reviewed.
Now I ask when reviewing you follow something I call the Three R'S
Respect the Authors
Respect the Story
Respect the Reviewers
I have no problem with giving your opinions as long as you say why and do it in a respectful manner.
Sorry for the long wait but this is a big chapter, I wanted to get this done last month but it was my birthday on the same date I uploaded the last chapter and I had last minute uni work to do. Considering how long this took I will probably be able to get a chapter done every month on my current time table, but no promises.
Please tell me if this is to much to read and If I should split it up into two chapters.
Also I swear I'm cursed to keep coming up with Naruto fanfiction plans, because I have 23 plans and counting, ideas for fic's that I want to do on my profile. Damn if only I could use Shadow clones then I could write all my stories at the same time:(
Replies to some guest reviews
Halftime: The reason I am voting for Hiashi personality is because I have no idea how I should do him and don't really have plans for him yet, I got the outline of the story but I didn't go into details like that yet.
Also Naruto Birth will be the same but I tried to make it new, I did it because their some scenes and plot points I wanted to add, so please bear with me.
Guest: To unknown guest reviewer thanks for pointing out hiashi in lies in the past, danger in the future, I don't really know about what you said since I think I need to re read the story from the beginning, but I sort of thought that Hiashi loved Hinata a bit but wanted to make his clan stronger like you said. I'll see when I get to rereading it.
NH SHIPPER: I thank you for your kind words and support, there's a fluffy NaruHina Omaka at the end for you and I hope you will enjoy it.
Now I would like to remind readers there is a poll up for Hiashi personality I will try and add reviews in but please try and use the pool.
Note: There will be Blood/Gore and death in this chapter
An Uzumaki Tale
Arc 1: Prologue
Chapter 2: Death and Birth of a Hero
On the outskirts of the Konoha, there was a hideout built into the mountain, there was a bridge built along the mountain, allowing access to the hideout and a river below to make it almost impossible to approach from the front and the height of the mountain itself made it impossible to attack from behind or above. However, the most peculiar feature was that above the entrance was what looked like a Tori gate built into the mountain there were six support beams that held the object to the side of the mountain. Despite its odd placement this gate served a purpose because on the front of it was a paper marked with the kanji for barrier, this along with several other seals built into the hideout made it impregnable with the only way to get in or out was through the entrance.
Outside the hideout were four ANBU one standing guard on the top of the Tori gate, two more on each side on the bridge and a final one below standing watch on the on the only rock in the river below.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT HURTS DATTEBANE" Was cried out as the four ANBU standing guard each felt a sweat drop behind their mask at the cry and each being thankful they don't have to go through something that can make even the dreaded Red Hot Habanero cry out.
Watching the guard from afar stand a man wearing a black cloak and a yellow mask with a flame pattern on it, next to him was what looked like a Venus fly trap coming out of the ground with a gap between its mouth were a strange human with one half black and the other half white could be seen.
"Looks like it's almost time" came a sinister voice from one.
"Yes, after today the first piece will be in place, and the Kyuubi will be mine and the leaf village destroyed."
With that both men disappeared as one sank into the ground and the other one was sucked into a vortex from his eye, a crimson glow of hatred could be seen from his eye just before he vanished.
Inside stood four people in the stone room at the entrance another tag could be seen for the barrier. The first a man with bright yellow hair stood nervously, his hands stretched above the stomach of his wife we laid on a table screaming in pain as she gave birth. The other two was a nurse who stood to the side heling as an old woman, assisted Kushina as her midwife.
"Will she be ok, I've never seen Kushina-Chan in so much pain before, that she cried out like this, will she really be alright." Minato asked as he looked worriedly at his wife as she screamed and grimaced in pain, wanting to help his love more as the strongest woman he knows makes another scream.
"Yes, she's going to be fine, now shut up and stay focused on the Kyuubi seal" came from the Biwako, as she scolded Minato for being so unfocused.
"Yes, but she's so-" Minato concerns were cut off as Biwako told him "You're the Yondaime Minato, now get a grip and act like it, most men would have dropped dead from the pain long ago, but women are much stronger."
Minato focused on the seal, but his concerns was still there as he thought "Even so Kushina-Chan still in so much pain"
In the Seal Kushina could loudly hear a roar as the Kyuubi tried to break free from his prison. He was bound to a rock that floated in midair, spikes impaled his every limb blood could be since coming from the wounds, causing him pain as he struggled thrashing about the golden chains that held him from freedom.
"He's so strong the Kyuubi is raving" Minato thought looking determined his face covered in sweat as he struggled to hold back the fox.
"Hang in their Kushina-Chan" He told her sending her a worried glance before he turned back "Naruto come on" he almost shouted willing his son to be born faster.
Outside a vortex open up from behind the ANBU standing on the Tori gate as two hands grabbed his head, a sickening SNAP was heard as the hands holding the man's head twisted, breaking his neck as it turned, his face now stuck looking slightly behind him as if he was an owl, killing him instantly.
"One down" The masked man thought as the dropped the ANBU, the other ANBU acute senses picked up the snap as the two on the side turned and charged. The masked man made no move to dodge as they draw their blades and swung, the blades ran though the man, but the blades did not stop as each of their swords impaled their comrade it rained crimson blood as the sword cut through the flesh.
The blades glowed crimson as each ANBU watched in slow motion as the guts of their comrade were spilled by their own blade, waves of blood covered their vison splattering their masks, the man they attacked just stood there the blood didn't splat him but passed right threw him, as if he was never there, the mans red eye, held no reaction one could see as the river of blood flowed through him from each side clashing at the centre making another splash both ANBU realised that what they attacked was an illusion. As the ANBU fall they two went through the man.
"Three down" The Ghost of a man repeated.
The last ANBU watched as all three of his comrades were killed in a blink of an eye, the illusion above him turned his gaze to him, and walked through the corpses of his victims like the ghost he was.
The last ANBU was thinking he had to report this to Yondaime-Sama, his eyes darted to the side, watching for the enemy while still keeping his eyes on the ghost before him.
The Masked man jumped off the gate, the ANBU ignored it thinking it was just an illusion as he continued to watch the sides, but when the Ghost landed just inches in front of him, he saw the ripples of water below, this saved the man's life as it proved to him the man was real and he charged.
But when the man swung his sword to he watched in shock as his blade two went through the man and he followed from the force he put behind the attack.
The ANBU glanced at the Ghost again confused why it wasn't real, but unknown as he passed through the Ghost made the preparation to turn when he glanced the Ghosts hand was already inches from his face as it grabbed him by the throat suffocating him.
The ANBU dropped his sword and sealed his fate as he tried to struggle free his hand futilely trying to get him free as his body dropped to the river below. Behind his mask his eyes were wide in fear as he choked tears coming from his eyes and spit from his mouth.
His body touched the river below and he caught a glimpse of a single Sharingan as his vision went to black and he passed from this world.
The masked man released his hold on the now dead ANBU "Four Down" he finished his gaze now turned to the entrance, behind him his partner appeared as he eyed the corpse's with glee.
Back inside
"WAAAAAAAAA! WAAA! WAA!"
Was heard as Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze caught her breath, relaxing as she listens to the sound of her baby crying. As the sounds of the baby reach her a lone tear drops as happiness fills her as she is finally a mother.
Minato stood to the side frozen, his eyes wide still not believing that it was really happen that he is a father "It-Its really here" he said in amazement, as he watched Biwako washing his son as he cried, warping him into a blanket.
As tears started to wheel in Minato eyes brought his arm up and say with joy "Today I'm a- a Father."
Biwako smiled at him as she walked over to him "Yes Minato, you have a healthy baby boy."
As Biwako walks up to him Minato held his hand out as called his child's name for the first time "Naruto" only be taken by surprise as Biwako shield the baby from him and told him hands off you.
As he frowned she proclaimed "Okaasan first Otōsan second." Minato could only frown as she took his baby boy away from him and give a weak "Kay" as she made her way over to the mother.
More tears came to Kushina eyes as she turned her head to catch a glimpse of her baby for the first time. "So Naruto, we finally meet" she whispered with a smile memorising his features he had a turf of sun kissed blond hair like his fathers and a round face like his mother, chubby with baby fat, finally there were three cute whisker marks on each cheek like that of a fox, though Kushina knew where they were from she didn't care. All she could was stare in wonder at Her son.
"Now you will have more time later" Biwako announced as she walked away trying to comfort the baby she was holding.
Minato made his way to his beloved wife putting one hand on hers as he asked her "Kushina-Chan are you alright."
"Yeah, I'm ok" she told him still a bit weak, Minato looked like he was about to cry himself when he told her "Thank you" for making him a father.
Kushina eyes sparkled filled with joy and happiness like her husbands were as she whispered "Minato-Kun"
"Alright" Minato announced as he made a fist and punched into his hands "I realise what you've just been through, but we need to really seal the Kyuubi" as he said that a scream was heard as Naruto started to cry again.
"Biwako-Sama, Tachi" he called out turning, there he saw a masked man with a cloak, holding his son a hand ready to take his life.
"Yondaime Minato step away from the Jinchuuriki" Both Minato and Kushina looked at him with fear, for their son.
"Or else this child, will die in its first minute."
"How the hell did he get past the barrier, who, who is" Minato cursed, as he pivoted foot readying to rescue Naruto.
"Ahhhhh!" Came from Kushina as the seal on her stomach started to bulge and the sealing formula spread over the rest of her body, a sign that it was about to fail.
"Kushina-Chan!" Minato shouted as he faced her "No the Kyuubi seal is-" he thought worryingly before he was cut off by the intruder.
"Get away from the Jinchuuriki, don't you care what happens to the little brat." The masked man threatened pulling a kunai from his sleeve.
As Minato looked back at the masked man he could see Biwako and Tachi lying on the floor as blood pooled out, a clear sign that they were dead, making the Yondaime Hokage panic even more as "Wait" lifting his left hand up, hoping to stop calm the man down before he does anything rash "Just please calm down."
"Speak for yourself, I am as calm as can be Minato" was his reply as he threw Naruto into the air.
"NARUTO!" Kushina shouted as she watched her baby cry as he was thrown, Minato was angered at the act as he glared at the man.
The masked man jumped up after Naruto intending to skewer him with the Kunai, but at the last second Naruto disappeared, and Minato appeared on the side of the wall with Naruto in his arms.
"Leave it to the Yellow Flash of the Leaf, but what about the next one" The masked man taunted as he fell and right when his feet touched the ground he made a hand seal.
"Hissssssss!" At the sizzling sound Minato stared down at Naruto in shock, noticing the explosive tags attached to the blanket Naruto was wrapped in, as they sizzled about to explode.
"Minato-Kun!" Kushina shouted in desperation.
Minato jumped off the wall, grabbing the blanket, as he fell the scene around him changed as he threw the blanket away. As he landed in a now different location he jumped again, hugging his son to him, protecting him as he crashed through a door of a house seconds before it exploded.
Minato was sent flying as touched the ground, he dug his feet in to stop him and Naruto, as he came to a stop Naruto started to cry again.
Minato could only smile at his boy "Thank goodness Naruto wasn't injured "Ow" he winced in pain as he realised that a piece of wood from the house was jammed in his right leg.
As he removed the offending splinter, he thought back to the man analysing everything that happened in the last few seconds. "He forced me to use the Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Jutsu)"as he looked at the now bloody spike he finished his thought "His target was Kushina-Chan, and he succeeded in separating us, tch got to hurry" he flicked the piece of wood in the air and as it fell he disappeared.
And reappeared in a safe house on the outskirts of the Konoha.
Back at the Hideout after Minato left
Kushina glared at the masked man as he approached her "Who are!" you she asked, her breath laboured and body in pain from the weakening seal.
"Me, I'm no one just a ghost from the past." He taunted her as he looked at her with his Sharingan eye.
"Wait but that's-" She was cut off as a Genjutsu subdued her "Don't worry Kushina it will all be over soon, and then the dream can begin." The masked man told his docile captured as she obeyed his commands.
A vortex appeared from his eye as he and Kushina were Sucked in.
They reappeared farther away from Konoha, he set Kushina upon a stone and then used Fuinjutsu to hold her in place restraining her with the four stones around her, as he finished he undid the Genjutsu he placed on her.
As Kushina came to she looked around noticing the different location breathing heavily, she asked "Alright, what do you want?"
"I'm going to extract the Kyuubi from you and crush Konoha" Kushina was shocked at his answer as she spurted out "No you can't"
The masked man set his eye on her as he continued "Minato teleportation Jutsu allows him to move instantly, to locations that are marked with Jutsu formula's, those same marking are incorporated into this sealing formula. That way Minato can protect you at all times, but he's far away now and the Kyuubi seal is weakened due to child birth, do you have any idea how long I wait for this moment."
Back with Minato
Minato was putting Naruto in a bed "You'll be safe here" he told his son and as he pulled the blankets over the sleeping boys face "Naruto, please be patient, I have to go and rescue your mother now right now."
Back with Kushina
Kushina stared wide eyed at the Masked man, both not moving a muscle, however inside the seal the Kyuubi was staring down the intrude as he growled "It's you!" recognising the intruder.
The masked man's Sharingan spun, and in Kushina Mindscape, the Kyuubi pupils shrank and then expanded into the same pattern of the Sharingan.
The ball of Lava the Kyuubi was attached to started to melt and so did the chains holding him down, the Kyuubi freed himself pulling away from the chains lava and blood flew as he did, his eyes now empty of all thought only showing mindless fury. The spike impaled into his chest was pushed out as he roared.
In the real world, Kushina mouth was open in a silent scream, crimson chakra enveloped her, bubbling in the shape of a fox her eye two were white, devoid of all thought.
The seal on her stomach opened up into a black hole, as a portal opened up connecting this world with the one inside Kushina Mindscape.
"Now then, come on out Kyuubi" the masked man ordered as he focused or his energy, to release the seal.
Blood red chakra erupted from the seal at his command, it took the shape of the Kyuubi head as it roared, like the spirit, it was it flew into the air, the chakra taking physical form as it got higher and higher eventually nine tails sprouted, and with a thump the full body of the Kyuubi manifested in the real world after more than a century.
With a mighty roar towards the full moon the Kyuubi celebrated its freedom from the seal, as it stood on two legs the last of its chakra being separated from its ex-prison. As the last remnants of his chakra left, Kushina she fell to the floor, her body exhausted and on the verge of death.
The Kyuubi gave another roar as the masked man acknowledge his victory over his new servant "Good now we'll head to Konoha village." He spoke as he turned and walked away.
"Wait" Kushina managed to get out.
"You Uzumaki are just amazing, you don't die right away when the tail beast is extracted." He complimented and at the same time, the Kyuubi glared at Kushina.
"You were the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki" At that the savage Kyuubi faced her his eye full of blood lust as she prepared to strike "So I'll let you die by his hands" at the commend the Kyuubi swung its claw at Kushina, she could only watch as her death came, a shock wave and explosion occurred as the Kyuubi claw landed on his former host.
However, it was not to be, as seconds after Minato appeared on top of the tree in front of the Kyuubi, his wife safely in his arms.
The masked man looked up to Yellow Flash "Well, well you really are as quick as a flash, but you're too late."
Kushina looked at her husband and whizzed out "Minato, Naruto is his he alright then." Her eye had black bags under them, her face a deathly pale as she struggles to stay conscious, but despite her critical condition, the only thoughts on her mind were what happened to her baby.
Minato smiled as he responded "Yes he's fine, he's in a safe place for now."
"Good, Minato that masked man… his with the Kyuubi…he's heading to the village stop them." Kushina whispered.
At that Minato glared at the man, his eyes an icy cold blue, that promised death before he disappeared.
"He flew away, oh well that's fine, let's get to Konohagakure" The masked man stated not at all affect by Minato's glare that promised his death.
In a bright room Naruto was sleeping peaceful where his daddy left him, in the centre of the room Minato appeared carrying Kushina bridal style, he turned to Naruto walking towards him.
"But why?" Kushina asked her husband "You should've stayed and fought Minato."
Minato smiled at her as he looked at her happy that she is alright, but worried never having seen his wife looking so weak before.
"Never mind, just stay with Naruto" He told her as he put her down next to the sleeping baby.
As Kushina looked at her baby, tears started to well up in her eyes as she gently put a hand, on the sheets covering his stomach, before she moved it up stroking the whisker marks on his right cheeks and bring him closer to her "Naruto" she sobbed now long holding back her tears and as happiness and relief fills her as she finally holds her baby in her arms.
Minato watched the scene the burning rage he had for the masked man that stole his son and kidnapped his wife faded for an instant at the mother and son moment. However, it came back full force and stronger than ever "If I didn't make it in time, Kushina-Chan would have never held Naruto, she would never have gotten to see him grow and Naruto would have lost his mother." At that realisation his fist tightened as he ran to the wardrobe pulling it open.
"Thank you, Minato and Good luck." Kushina whispered as her husband got ready.
Minato pulled out his Hokage robes, swinging it on in one move and as he did, he told his wife "I'll, be right back."
The hidden leaf village was peaceful, fathers and sons watched the stars, husbands and wife's argued, cats made their rendezvous, shopping patriot's left for the night promising to come back, friends helped their drinking buddy's home. The villagers laughed and gossiped without a care in the world completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.
"Hmm" Kakashi signed as Guy once again tried to rope him into another challenge "Look, why don't we just do rock paper scissors again." Kakashi offered not wanting to do anything to strenuous on this peaceful night.
"Oh come on there must be something more exciting we can do, and you call yourself my rival" Guy complained, in his usual over the top voice.
Kakashi stared at him as, he explained "We have to get an early start tomorrow; so why don't we take a pass for tonight." He eyed smiled hoping to placate his rival.
"A mission is no excuse! I have all this pent up energy inside me, so there's no better time than right now for some really rigorous training!" Guy shouted as he kept walking on ward his hand pointed towards the sky and a bright future as he continued his monolog about training, not realising that Kakashi stopped feeling like something bad was going to happen.
When Guy finally noticed him, he swung back getting right in Kakashi's face "Are you even listening to me!"
"Forget that for now" Kakashi told him, trusting his instincts, that have been honed by years of fighting and life and death situations. "Do you feel something strange, like there was suddenly a dark chill in the air." He told his comrade as he searched for the source of the disturbing feeling.
"THE ONLY THING CHILLY HERE IS YOUR ATTITUDE YOU MUST BE MORE HOT BLOODED!" Guy shouted at the top of his lungs at his apathetic companion unaware that Kakashi was sensing what was to come.
At the Uchiha compound a young boy with ravine coloured hair was holding a small baby that had the same pitch black hair as him, as he gazed upon the moon.
"I feel something ominous" he stated to himself, as a chill went up his spine.
As with agreeing the baby in his arms started to cry out "There, there its ok" the boy told his baby brother.
"What a strange feeling, of all the times for Tosan and Kaasan to be out" he thought as he continued to rock his brother, before smiling "Don't cry Sasuke, your big brother will protect you, I promise you that."
In his study Hiruzen Sarutobi read over some of the reports in Minato place as smoked his pipe, but then he suddenly felt a chill as he breathed out, smoke filled the air as he looked at the window at the full moon. "It can't be" He said praying that the ire familiar feeling was not what he thought it was. Getting up, he left the room, not taking a chance as he went to change into his battle armour.
The masked man landed in an alleyway of the village, silently as he prepared his plan, his lone Sharingan eye blazed crimson as he shouted "Summoning Jutsu!"
Seals spread out as he slammed his hand to the ground, time seemed to stop in the village, people froze mid step, leafs came to a halt mid-air, as absolute silence filled the village for a single moment, then it all came to an end as an event that would leave the village scared for years started.
"BOOOOOOM!" was heard all over the village as an explosion went off, smoke filled the area, catching the attention of every person in the village, powerful shockwaves sent debri flying and the villagers closest to the event stopped the arms up to protect them from the wind as others were knocked down.
As the shockwaves ceased, the villager looked at the shadowy figure in the smoke. A villager watched in terror as he asked "Is that?" glowing blood red eye could be seen through, as reddish/orange fur appeared, and a growling could be heard.
The villagers cried out in terror "No way!" one of them shouted at the monster that appeared before them, nine tails curled out and a blood curdling "ROOOOAAARRRRR!" filled Konoha.
"I-it's the Kyuubi!" one of the villagers shouted, and all the villagers fled for their lives.
"Go Kyuubi!" The masked man ordered his servant, and by command of the Sharingan the fox obeyed, releasing another earth shattering roar, windows broke all over and his left claw smashed up the building next to him the wreckage flew impaling the feeling citizens.
He swung his claws about crushing one building after another building, blood covered his claws from the citizens that couldn't get away in time, they're squashed bodies and pools of blood littered the streets.
His tails lashed out crushing more buildings, as they moved out the way you could see the remains of the once house owners their body under the rubble and the wreckage took on a crimson paint.
In another building Lifeless eyes looked at the back of the beast, surprise forever etched on his face, as blood came down from his eyes.
His tails now dripped with blood, as the crimson coated the beast fur, Kyuubi looked every bit as demonic as the legends said.
His claws came up, killing more of his prey, as the crimson sheen spread more and more, now reaching up to his upper knees.
With a chakra powered roar, he blasted the villagers he couldn't reach away, they flew in the air, their bodies crashing into buildings, beaten and broken as their limbs bent in unnatural ways. Those far enough away to survive the crashing were pinned to the walls and could only watch their death approach as debri blown way, crashed into them, some were crushed, others impaled wooden or metal spikes, by the end of the roar the wall was covered in red paint as flesh and bits of bone and white dust stuck to its surface.
Those few that survived were in no condition to run as the Kyuubi begin to move, his claws stepped over the blood and corpses of his prey, not at all affected, crushing their body further into an unrecognised pulp, and bloody footprints were left on the surfaces that were still somewhat clean.
They watched in fear, as the blood covered demon approached them its mouth opening as and his still stainless white teeth could be seen, sharp and ready to tear into them.
In the Hokage Tower an Anbu Shunshin behind the Sandaime "Sandaime-Sama, it's the Kyuubi." As he gave his report, the Sandaime Hokage was already dressed making the final adjustments to his armour before he went into battle.
"Yes, I know, I'll restrain him, you and the others go and protect all the people of the village." He told his subordinate with the calm and stern voice of a leader.
"Yes, sir" The Anbu replied before vanishing to relay the Hokage's orders to the rest of his squad.
"Was Kushina seal broken, we failed even with all the safeguards we put in place" He thought.
"Biwako" The Sandaime mulled over the where about of his wife before he went into battle hoping she is still alive.
In the Uchiha district of the village Itachi Uchiha made his way through his house as earthquakes happen, the wall shook as the tremors worsened, as a roar and tremors reached him, Itachi made his way through the house, with his little brother, intent on getting them to safety.
As he walked another tremor shook the house cause little Sasuke to cry, see his little brother scared Itachi tried to calm him down. "their thei-" Another earthquake cut him off causing Itachi to stumble as he continued to outside.
As he arrived Itachi heard his fellow clan members shout "The demon fox is on the loose!" over the rushing wind and roars in the distance.
When the wind finally calmed down, Itachi eyes opened to the sight of his clan fleeing, running for the lives in a panic. As he made his way to centre of the street, to find out what was going on, a boulder crashed down right where he was just seconds ago.
More boulders came flying from out of nowhere crushing the civilians unable to escape, shockwaves sent the ones that survived flying scattering them and killing them from the force.
Shinobi managed to jump out the way in time while the citizens were killed without mercy, unable to avoid the raining rubble.
As the dust from the last boulder, Itachi could be seen protecting his little brother, as he got up he smiled seeing his precious little brother safe.
As his brother cried Itachi calmly told him "It's okay, you got a little scared, huh?" he tightened his arms around his brother protectively as he got, up he was shocked to see all the dead around him, their limbs were twisted and their bodies were bruised and covered in blood. As he took a look around, he realized he was the only survivor.
The crying of his little brother brought him back and he ran as fast as he could to get them to safety.
"Don't worry little brother, I'll protect you, I promise." Was Itachi's final thoughts as he left.
"This is an announcement from the Konoha Police! All Citizens are to evacuate to the southeast shelter!"
As Itachi ran he heard the announcement again and again. However, as he made his way to the shelter all of a sudden he stopped as he heard crying over the roar of destruction.
Turning his head, he saw a little girl about his age with brown hair in a ponytail, she wore a purple long sleeve shirt with the Uchiha insignia on the back, and he recognised her as one of his clan members. Her hand was on the wall as she stumbled through the alley, as she cried for her parents.
"Come here!" Itachi shouted to her, the girl turned her head, her face was round and she had two onyx coloured eyes that glistened with tears, her long hair framed her face to her chin and under her right eye was a mole.
"Itachi-Kun" she whispered in recognition.
"Hurry!" Itachi urged, his hand held out for her, as the over held Sasuke.
Wiping her eyes, she responded "Okay" and started to run to him, an explosion came from behind her from where she just was sending her flying a bit before she reached him.
As the explosion happened Itachi grabbed her hand pulling her to him, as her face hit his chest Itachi, swung them to the side and into the ground, moving his arm and hand to her back, holding her and Sasuke in his protective embrace.
As they recovered Itachi told her "We're going to the shelter." She made a small noise of conformation as Itachi let go of her and proceeded to the shelter.
She grabbed hold of the bottom of his shirt scared as she ran to keep up with him.
As they ran the eventually ended up with a group of other civilians that were evacuating, and as they got further from away from the danger they started seeing their fellow clansmen in the military police helping evacuating the villagers.
As whey continued moving Itachi's eyes widened in recognition, he turned to the girl and told her "Keep going."
"Itachi-Kun?" She questioned.
"Everyone will be there." he told her as he ran off, over to the police force as they shouted to stay calm.
"Tosan!" Itachi called as he ran to his father.
His father looked down as he told his sons "I knew you would be alright, get to the shelter quickly."
Itachi frowned a bit before agreeing "Okay"
"DAMN YOU KYUUBI IT'S TIME TO RELEASE ALL MY PENT UP ENERGY!" Guy shouted, stupidly provoking the, rampaging fox demon.
"We don't know what we're up against." Kakashi as the voice of reason tried to stop his idiot friend.
"Come on, I'll be your opponent!" Guy said anyway, as he made a crane pose, his arms raised making a V-shape, with one leg held up.
"Wait!" Senior Jonin with ringed red eyes and a sword told them. "Gather immediately in the guard room."
"Why" Kakashi questioned.
"The Sandaime Hokage ordered it!" He shouted at them.
"What Hiruzen-Sama, did." Guy confirmed before "You heard him, let's go Guy."
The Ino-Shika-Cho were protecting some of the citizens as they evacuated, Choza used his staff to hit away any debri that came their way.
"Now's our chance." Choza shouted.
"Quickly evacuate the village" Shikaku ordered.
In the background the Kyuubi could be seen, flames below him as if the flames of hell came up, as his rampage continued.
Up in the trees several Konoha shinobi stood about to begin their counter attack "Are we ready" One them questioned and "Yeah" was his response.
As the Kyuubi claw crushed another building, causing it to explode, one of the shinobi used the smoke as a cover to get close.
"Over here Kyuubi!" he shouted as he threw kunai with explosion tags on them, they did nothing as they exploded right in his face, only angering the beast even more.
The Kyuubi tried to kill the insect that attacked him swung his claw, but the fox missed as the Konoha shinobi fell as the claw came and two more shinobi jumped up on the other side, as they too threw kunai explosive tags, but the fox hit them with his arm, breaking their necks as he sent them flying.
"Your battles, over here, with me" more Konoha ninja shouted from behind, annoyed by the constant attack come from these insects the crimson covered fox swung his tails in all directions, with a roar killing the two that attacked him.
As the Shockwave hit the remaining troops, their leader called out "Do not falter, we must allow the remaining villagers to escape." He shouted and as he did that the Kyuubi found where they were hiding. As he turned he came face to face with the Sharingan pattern of the Kyuubi, before it destroyed the tree they were standing in sending it flying.
More Ninja arrived shouting "Don't take action on your own, assemble around Hiruzen-Sama!"
"Carry out your orders!" the Sandaime shouted to his Ninja, knowing that if they need to get the beast away from the village before they do anything more.
The Sandaime wasn't the only kage to arrive, on top of the Hokage monument on the head of the Yondaime Hokage, Minato appeared in a flash of yellow light.
His cape fluttered in the wind as he stared at the Kyuubi and the damage it's done to his village.
"As Hokage I must protect the village, my family, this is what I'm meant to do right now, I won't let you destroy my home." Minato thought as he gazed at the fox determination in his eye as he prepares to go into battle.
As if by fate the Kyuubi's eyes caught the Yondaime, he turned his head and faced him glaring at the Yondaime.
"So you noticed me, huh" said to himself not at all surprised about the face the fox singled him out from so far away, knowing that the fate of the village will be decided by them in the end.
The Kyuubi open his mouth blue and red chakra started to gather compressing into a purple ball of compressed chakra.
Realising what the fox intends, Minato starts to make hand signs "I won't let you do this."
Just as the ball is about to hit the monument, it stops seals appear in midair around it, the air and space surrounding the ball twist and bend as it seems to swallow the chakra.
To the side Minato is controlling the barrier and the space and time itself obeyed him as he orders it to close around the sphere.
As the sphere is fully consumed Minato brought his Kunai up finishing the Jutsu and miles away from behind him an explosion happen that can be clearly seen from the village destroying an entire mountain range.
"With this much power I need to carefully chose where I redirect his attacks." The Yondaime thought, knowing that a blast like that could kill millions if he sent it to the wrong place.
In the village almost all shinobi stopped as a lull from the fight started as they all recognised the Jutsu used and what it means.
Choza stated "That Jutsu that redirected the Kyuubi attack that's a transportation barrier."
"It's, Minato" Shikaku finished.
The Sandaime rallied the remaining Konoha Ninja as he ordered them to move into.
Unfortunately for Minato his allies weren't the only ones to take note of his arrival.
Back On the Monument
Back on the monument Minato thought "I got to alert Sandaime-Sama of what's going on." As he thought that the masked man from before appeared behind him his left hand stretched, as he prepared to get rid of his adversary.
Just as his hand was about to reach Minato turn around stabbing his Kunai in the side of the man's head in a reverse grip.
Only be taken by surprise when the Kunai goes through the man's head and as Minato hand comes out the other side the man's outstretched hand came up, at first Minato arm went through it too but then the man suddenly grabbed Minato's arm.
"I'm your opponent and your done for." The masked man said with confidence as a vortex appeared in his left eye and proceeded to suck Minato in.
Just seconds away from being sucked in completely Minato disappeared.
"He got, away, so fast next time I'll take him a lot quicker." The masked man said impressed at the speed at which the yellow flash moved at.
"As soon as we touch." He finished as he made a hand sign and followed Minato as the vortex in his eye sucked him in.
On the outskirts of the village in the center of three tri-Kunai's Minato appeared and fall to the ground.
"My attack passed right through him, but a moment later he made himself solid and tried to pull me inside him." Minato thought going over what his enemy did.
"What was that Jutsu." He thought concerned when he suddenly felt a presence, looking in front of him, he sees a distortion in space as a vortex appears and the man from before comes out of it.
The masked man looked at Minato with his lone Sharingan eye "You shall not escape."
"He uses the transportation technique two, that's how he was able to grab Kushina and move so quickly." Minato thought over as he pulled his Kunai out of the ground and face his opponent.
"He defeated the, Anbu Black opts assigned to Sandaime-Sama, got past the highest level classified barrier, and know that the Kyuubi seal will weaken during childbirth, even more then that he undid the Kyuubi seal and tamed him, he slipped in and out of the village without any alarms." Minato listed all the man's achievements in his head and came to one conclusion.
"There's only one man I know that can do all that."
"Are you Madara Uchiha?" Minato asked the masked man, at the question the man took off his hood showing his spiky hair.
"No, that would be impossible, he's dead."
"I wonder about that." The masked man taunted.
"In the end it doesn't matter who you are, but why attack the Konohagakure" Minato responded with another question.
"What would you like to hear, I could say I did it on a whim, or that I planned it, or that it's for war, or that it's for peace." The man pulled chains from his sleeves, as he finished his monologue of reasons.
"Either way he's not ordinary, he can control the nine tails, his transportation technique surpasses both Nidaime-Sama, and mine. And he as some dangerous ideology, if I don't settle this now we'll have even big problems then the Kyuubi." Were Minato thoughts as he prepared to fight and the masked man attached the chain to his wrists.
"If I transport myself to the village, he'll come to the battlefield with me, it will be chaos, if he's anything like Madara he can't keep the Kyuubi under the summoning Jutsu for long. I have to trust Sandaime-Sama and take this guy out right here now."
"Now that I've freed the Kyuubi there is no hope for any of you." The masked man stated as both he and Minato charged.
Minato tried to stab him with his Kunai only to faze right through him, when Minato came out the other side the man's change attempted to ensnare him, but as they begin to tighten Minato disappeared in a flash and reappeared at a kunai ahead of him.
"My physical attacks have no effect on him, but he makes himself solid when he attacks me, I have to aim for a mutual strike precisely timed. But he knows he's vulnerable when he attacks and considering the time remaining on the Kyuubi summoning Jutsu he doesn't want a lengthy battle either. Whoever attacks an instant quicker than the other will win this match." Minato summarised his strategy to win, in his head before attacking the man and towards the moment that will decide the battle.
Both combatants charged like they did the first time, but Minato threw his kunai at the last second, but it went through the man.
As the man's hand was about to land the finishing blow that would end the fight, Minato produced a Giant Rasengan in his right hand. But it was too late as the spinning orb of chakra approached, the man's blow hit and the fight over as he declared "I win"
But in a flash Minato disappeared in midair behind him from the Kunai he threw, his left hand grabbed the Kunai in midair, and in slow motion Minato finished his attack and slammed the Rasengan right into the man's back.
As the orb drilled through him and the ground below him shattered the masked man realized what happened "Damn it, he teleported himself to his kunai."
As the orb of chakra drilled into the masked man Minato finished the match with the whisper of "Flying Raijin LEVEL 2(Hiraishin no Jutsu)"
An explosion happen as the compressed chakra was released, shattering the ground below, but just seconds before Minato separated from him he slammed his hand on the spot his Rasengan drilled into and left his mark on the man.
The masked man jumped away, his breathing was deep the attack having taken a toll on him as his left hand seemed to melt, as a white liquid fell from it.
"You got me, you really are a slippery one, I should have never left my guard down around you." The man commended.
But as he finished Minato teleported to him and stab him with his kunai his other hand was on the man's chest. "Flying Raijin Jutsu of course he must have marked me somewhere." The man thought in surprise as hegrasped how Minato appeared.
As the man when through his thoughts a sealing array appeared from the hand Minato had on his chest. "A contract seal, trying to separate the Kyuubi from me."
"With this the Kyuubi no longer, yours"
Back in the village the Kyuubi eyes returned to the normal slit shape, he stood on two legs, his fur glistened in the moonlight bathing him in a crimson glow from the blood of his prey, as he let out a roar of his long sorted freedom.
Though no longer under someone's control, the fox rampage never ceased, instead it got worse as his savage power now had a millennium of knowledge and experience guiding it on its mission to destroy Konoha.
He crushed building and aim specifically the feeling citizens, intent on making all the humans that persecuted and kept him imprisoned. The filthy humans that know only how to hate, fear and destroy those that they don't understand.
"You filthy humans! No matter how many century pass, you never learn you always seek to use us for your own gains, destroying everything around you. You wanted a monster, then you'll have one, your disgusting kind are real monsters, no matter how much we did for you, you squander and abused the mercy we showed and the kindness he gave you. Your inferior race never deserved chakra, you misused it and hunted us for years well, no more now it's your turn to be hunted, by the very monsters your darkness has created." They Kyuubi thought lost in his own hatred toward humanity.
After he destroyed the nearest building the only ones left were the 3 shinobi that survived his assault and a child, who was saved when his mother shielded him from the debri.
"Iruka are you alright?" the fox could hear the women ask weakly and could smell the blood from the injuries she suffered, he could sense her life force fading and he focused his attention on her knowing she won't be able to flee from his wrath.
"Kaasan are you ok? What's the matter?" the fox hears picked, the young boy stared shocked at seeing the wound in his mother back, he had a cut on the bridge of his nose from the last attack that will surely leave a scar, he had short brown hair with the back tied in a topknot. At seeing his mother's condition, he called his father "Tosan look its Kaasan she's been hit."
"Why didn't you stay in the shelter Iruka, leave your Okasan to me hurry up and get out of here now." The man ordered, his son.
"No Tosan I'm not just going to run away and leave you and Kaasan behind here, I'm going stay and protect Kaasan."
"Don't you dare push me son it's a parent's duty to protect their children!" The boy's father shouted.
The fox attacked the group, as the boy's father ordered the last shinobi to take the boy.
Just as the fox was about to attack-
"Humans can be foolish creates, but don't hate them my children, they may make mistakes, but they are capable of great kindness and love. Though some will have dark desires and commit many monstrosities not all humans are like that. Please always try and see the good in people I know it may be hard to find but remember there is always light deep down in their hearts."
Rang through the fox's head, causing him to miss the shinobi he attacked, the fox notice that one shinobi was running away with the boy. The Kyuubi was intent on going after his prey, knowing that it couldn't get away from him, but as he was about to strike the boy's father stood between him.
"but remember there is always light deep down in their hearts." He heard his creators voice again.
The fox changed its attack to the Ninja in front of him and let the boy go. "Such a weakling not' worth my time." The fox thought arrogantly, trying to mask the pity he felt towards the inferior being.
As the Sandaime watched the Kyuubi he could see the blood of his people coated the beast's body, he resolved to drive the beast out of his village as he begun to give orders to his men, knowing that most of them will die, but having no other choice if he was to save his home. He looked at them all one last time and was proud to see the will of fire burned brightly in all their eyes and that each one of them was prepared to die for their home.
"We need to protect the village; we need to drive the Kyuubi outside the village walls. Buy me some time, so I can ready my Jutsu, do not let up the attack." The Sandaime order to his ninja behind him.
"Yes Sir! Let's go" Responded the lead ANBU, him and the rest of Anbu mobilised, they moved across the rooftops, quickly surrounding the fox before simultaneously throwing exploding kunai at the fox. At last the explosions did nothing, but anger the fox more and allow the ninja below him to get away, with a single swipe of his claws he took out almost the entire squad in a second, his claws slice some of the lucky member's in two and they quickly died of blood loss as their crimson fluid flooded out within seconds. Others were unlucky and were blown away by the force, their bodies broken as their bones cracked and they were forced to have an agonising slow death as what was left of their organs failed, and they felt almost all their muscles twisting in odd angles.
The Sandaime watched the sight with a heavy heart, as he bit his thumb and went through some hand seals and shouted "Ninja Art: Summoning Monkey King Enma!" with a poof of smoke, a monkey with white spiky hair standing on two legs appeared, wearing the Konoha Hitai-ate around his head, and ninja outfit that looked to be made of tiger fur.
"The Kyuubi so the seal was broken." The Enma stated calmly as he surveyed the battlefield.
"We'll drive it out the village with the Adamantine Nyoi"
"Henge gotcha" With those words the monkey transformed into a black staff with golden ends, it swung into the air landing into the hands of his partner.
"Now Enma lets go." The Sandaime commanded.
A single eye opened in the staff as Enma voice responded form it with a "Right."
"Extend!" The Sandaime shouted and the staff shot outward towards the Kyuubi. It met the Kyuubi as it roared and pushed it outside the village, and into the forest of Konohagakure.
"Good it's been driven out, now keep at him one after another." At his order the Konoha ninja lived up to the name of their village as they stuck to the trees to strike the Kyuubi.
"Minato, where are you." The Sandaime thought desperately, knowing that they may have the home field advantage in the forest, but if his successor doesn't come soon they will surely perish.
Back with Minato the masked man jumped into the tree, blood dripped down showing he was done "You are worthy of your title Yondaime Hokage. Injuring me and separating the Kyuubi" the masked man praised his opponent.
A vortex appeared from his eye and as he was dragged in he gave a warning "But he will be mine one day, I shall rule this world there are plenty of ways to do it."
Minato looked serious as he thought "Giving his tone, he's not joking around."
Back with the Kyuubi the Konoha-nin kept fighting the Kyuubi there was a clear path of destruction behind them, from when the Kyuubi was forced out of the village.
"Hold the attack and wait for the Yondaime Hokage." One of them shouted to the rest before attacking.
One of the attack ninja was sent back his clothes were dry with blood "Iruka" he whispered as he passed from this world.
Farther away from the battlefield as if sensing his father's passing, a boy shouted to be let down "No, let me go my Kaasan and Tosan are still fighting back there." The Ninja carrying him ignored him and kept running.
Back in the village Jonin Shinku Yuhi was addressing the younger Ninja that were being kept safe by a barrier. "Listen up you, younger shinobi stay away from the Kyuubi." Shinku commanded.
"Say what?" Kurenai questioned her father.
This is a domestic issue, not a war against other villagers there's no reason for you to put your lives on the line for this."
"You got to be kidding!" Kurnai shouted at her father.
"Stop it Kurnai." Asuma next to her said.
"You are also a shinobi you aren't going to live forever you know, but my daughter you're a woman two, bequeath the will of fire on my future grandchildren, please make that your oath to me your father because I do believe in you." He told his daughter with a smile.
Minato appeared once again on the monument this time on the Sandaime head, as he looked back at the Kyuubi he looked in shock at seeing the beast charging another Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Bomb)
"This is bad." He said out loud, remembering how powerful the last one.
The Sandaime fell to his knees succumbing to exhaustion as the beast charged, its attack "He's going to do that again."
Right when the bomb was about to be finished, "Summoning Jutsu Bring Down the House!" was shouted Gamabunta the chief toad appeared above the fox landing right on top of him holding the fox down.
The Third look atop the toad "Is that…"
One of this Ninja cut him off with "it's the Yondaime Hokage!"
"I shall rule this world" went through Minato head as he gathered his resolve to do what must be done.
"Kushina-Chan forgive me."
"Hold the Kyuubi just a little while longer."
"I'll give it my best, but that's going to be tough even for me." The chief toad told his summoner, as he watched the Kyuubi struggle still charging the Bijūdama.
"I'm going to need a lot of chakra to transport such a large object away."
The Sandaime stood in front of the Kyuubi getting ready to try and deflect the Bijūdama with his staff.
As the fox closed his mouth to fire, he disappeared "Minato, he transported the Kyuubi with him." The Sandaime turned to the side to see a giant explosion in the distance.
"Over there."
The Kyuubi reappeared inside a house that was quickly destroyed thanks to his size, and fired the chakra bomb making a path of destruction dead ahead of him.
To the side of him, Minato appeared with his wife and child in hand, having quickly grabbed them before the Kyuubi completely and destroyed the house.
He was suffering from chakra exhaustion from transporting the Kyuubi. "I must erect a barrier now" "but I don't have much chakra"
"I can still do it Minato." Kushina wheezed as she held back some blood that she coughed up, Golden Chins of Chakra sprouted from her back, they dug into the ground ensnaring the Kyuubi, before forming a barrier.
Kushina coughed up more blood, causing her husband worry "Kushina!" and baby Naruto to start crying.
"Woke you up, Hu sorry Naruto." Kushina told her son.
"Kushina" Minato started before she cut him off "I'll take the Kyuubi to my death because that way we can reduce the interval between now and when he emerges again. It's all I can manage now with what little chakra I have left, but I'll be able to save you both, so thank you for everything you've done." She thanked her husband from the bottom of her heart, as the Kyuubi struggled to get free.
Minato was shocked at this and baby Naruto stopped crying a single tear came down his face, as he looked at his mother's face for what was the first and last time.
"Kushina, you're the one, it was you who made me the Yondaime Hokage, you made me a man and you made me this baby's father and yet." He started to cry.
"Oh Minato please don't give me that said look, I'm happy because you love me and once more today is the birthday of our beautiful child." At this Naruto smiled for the first time as he fell asleep again listen to his mother's words.
"But most of all, if I were to image me alive and our future the three of us together as a family, I can't really picture us as being anything but truly happy." Tears fell from Minato as he heard the confessing of the women he loves and the fact that she won't get the life she wants.
"I guess, if I was just allowed one regret, I wish I could have seen Naruto all grown up, I wish I could have seen that."
"Kushina there no need for you to die, in order to kill the Kyuubi, conserve what little chakra you have for your reunion with Naruto."
Kushina looked at him with surprise and as he wiped his tears he told her "I'm going to seal the rest of your chakra inside him. It will be a part of an Hakke no Fūin Shiki (Eight Trigram Divination Seal Spell Formula) and then I'll take the Kyuubi with me since I'm not a Jinchuuriki I'll have to use the Shiki Fūjin (Reaper Death Seal)"
"You can't if you case that you'll…" Kushina tried to stop him.
"And there's one other thing, I'm only going to seal half of the Kyuubi, it's physically impossible to seal this much power, but it's also strategically unwise, if you take the Kyuubi with you there will be no Jinchuuriki until he remerges this will upset the balance of power between the Biju, with the Shiki Fūjin we can at least seal half of the Kyuubi forever and the other half I'll seal it inside Naruto with the Hakke no Fūin Shiki. I know what you're going to say, but remember what master Jiraiya said about great upheaval and also all the calamity's that would accompany it, I've become convinced of two things today, first that masked man who attacked you will bring catastrophe to the world and second the one who will stop him is this child, this infant whose godfather is master Jiraiya he will open up the future as a Jinchuuriki I now it somehow I'm sure of it." He smiled at his wife as he, put Naruto down.
As Minato did the hand seals the Sandaime arrived, on the final seal he shouted "Shiki Fūjin (Reaper Death Seal)" A strange ghostly figure with beads in his hand, a white cloak around him, purple skin, white hair and red horns on his head, appeared behind him.
"Let's believe in him after all this child is our son." Those signs to tell me" Enma started, but the Sandaime finished "yes it's the Shiki Fūjin" The Sandaime concluded.
"After I completed this seal, I'm going to seal your chakra inside Naruto two, you won't have much time put I want you to try and help him control the Kyuubi power as Jinchuuriki."
"But he's our son, which is exactly why I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden and tell me why use the Shiki Fūjin, if it only so I can meet Naruto when he grows up, especially if it is only for a short time then there's no need for you to die. I'd rather you stayed with him and watch over him, I just don't understand why it has to be this way. Why does Naruto have to be sacrificed for the balance of power among the Biju, for his nation, for his village, why do you need to sacrifice yourself, as well just for me please." Kushina cried coughing up blood pleading her husband to not do this and stay with their son.
"To forsake one's nation and one's village, is exactly the same as forsaking one's own child, your very own home land was destroyed so you should know that, a harsh life awaits those without a land to call their home, beside our family is shinobi." Minato told his wife before he smiled at her and staring again "Finally even if I were to live I couldn't be a substitute for you, you won't have much time with him but there something that only you can tell Naruto, something that I just can't that's a Okaasan role, I'm not doing this just for you I'm doing it for Naruto."
After that he picked up Naruto and told his wife "I will die for my son, it is my duty as his Otōsan." Minato and Kushina stared at each other while the Sandaime tried to get through the barrier, two ninja arrived and asked what was wrong. "It's no good, we can't get in any closer this barrier is preventing the Kyuubi from escaping, it seems the two of them plan to take care of the Kyuubi all by themselves."
The Shinigami raised his left hand and it went through Minato stomach ripping the clothes off the other side, yet there was no wound as the ghostly arm went through him it stretched and grabbed on to the Kyuubi. "Damn you Yondaime Hokage." The fox cursed.
"Seal!" Minato shouted and with a roar of pain half of the soul and chakra was ripped apart, it flew into the air and was sucked into the seal on Minato stomach.
"My body is going numb; I can't believe how heavy his chakra is." Minato thought as he experienced the burdened that his wife carried for almost her whole life and was reminded just how strong of women he married.
The Kyuubi shrunk into size to almost half of what it was before the chains around him got looser and his claws were now in a footprint left from when he was still whole, clearly showed just how much he weaker he was now.
"Damn you." The Kyuubi cursed at the one responsible for his weakened state.
"It is the Shiki Fūjin after all I can't believe he used it." The Sandaime stated "The Kyuubi is still alive, though, couldn't he seal all of it away, it seemed smaller but." One of the ninja that arrived said.
Minato slapped his hand on the ground and summoned an alter as he said "Now for the Hakke no Fūin Shiki, I'll seal the rest of the Kyuubi inside Naruto." Minato walked over to the altar and placed Naruto on it.
"The ritual altar, he plans to seal me up again, not inside that baby." The Kyuubi growled out.
Kushina tried to move, but started to cough up blood "Kushina-Chan are you ok!" shouted Minato as he ran to his wife's side.
The Kyuubi noticed his opportunity and struck at Naruto as he was about to land, though he heard that voice again "Kurama" and for a split second he stopped, but when he moved again, what he impaled wasn't Naruto, but his parents for that split second was enough time for them to make it to his side and protect him.
The claw when through Minato and then Impaled his wife right after, as the claw tore through them both they used all their will to stop it before it reached their baby. Kushina held the bloody claw coming at of her stomach as Minato dug his feet into the ground the claw stopped just inches from Naruto and his parents blood dripped from it and land on him.
"I said I was his Otōsan, dying for him is my duty." Minato wheezed out to his wife.
"Yes, but I'm his Okasan, it's mine too." Kushina argued back to her husband.
"Theirs's a child in their two." The Sandaime noticed and his subordinates confirmed it. "Yes and they saved it."
"Why you!" The Kyuubi growled seeing that his plan to stop the sealing failed.
"I think this is the first time, I lost an argument, I guess that shows just who serious you are about doing this." Kushina joked despite the situation.
"I thank you Kushina-Chan." Minato told his wife for understanding him, he took a bit of his blood and made hand seals before pointing his arm out to the side and an orange and black skinned toad, with a scroll for a stomach appeared with a "Ahhhhh The Kyuubi!"
"And Yondaime-Sama, what is going on here."
"Gerotora, I'll give you the seal formula key, when I'm done take it to master Jiraiya to store it."
"So that's it Minato plans to make his own child the Jinchuuriki, to save the village." The Sandaime realised what was going on.
"I conformed I received the key, alright, I'm off now." Gerotora said before disappearing in a poof of smoke.
"And now we're safe." Minato stated as Shinigami behind him pulled his knife out of his mouth. "Kushina I'm not going to last much longer; I'll start the Hakke no Fūin Shiki, I still want to put some of my chakra inside Naruto, we won't see him for a while so let's tee him what we want to say."
Kushina gazed at her child that would be the last time among the land of the living, tears came to her eyes as she told her beloved son her parting words.
"Naruto, don't be a picky eater just eat a lot so you'll grow up big and strong, and make sure you bath every day and you stay warm to, also don't stay up to late make sure you get plenty of sleep, don't forget to make friends as well, don't need a tone of them ok, just a few is fine as long as there one's you can really trust and emm… your mom wasn't very good at this, make sure you study hard and learn your Ninjutsu, always remember some are good at some things but not so good at other's, so even if something doesn't go well don't get depressed ok. When you're at the academy respect your teachers and the upper classmen."
"Oh this is important, regarding the three prohibitions of a shinobi, be extra careful of borrowing and lending money, take your pay and put it in a savers account, no alcohol until you're of age, and to much sake is bad for you so practice moderation, and another prohibition is women, remember I am one so I don't know too much about it, but keep in mind this world is made of men and women, and at some point your notice girls and that's normal, just be careful don't fall for the bad ones, just go out there and find someone that is like me. That reminds me speaking of the three prohibitions you should be weary of Jiraiya sensei ok.
"Naruto I am sorry to say, but there will be many hardships ahead just be true to yourself, make sure to have dreams and the confidence to make those dreams come true, oh Naruto their so much so much more, there are so many thinks I wished I had time to pass on to you, so much more I want to tell you."
Kushina began to cry at the end as she thought of all the things she'll miss out on, seeing her boy's first step, his first word, his first day of school, his girlfriend and when he finally marries and have children of his own. She'll miss all of this and more tears came.
"I wish I could stay longer, but I love you, Minato I'm sorry I used up your time." Kushina apologised to her husband for taking so long to say goodbye knowing that it would mean less time for him.
"No, it's alright." Minato told her as he moved a bit to look at his son and give him his final words "Naruto, my words to you, well, I guess you talkative Kaasan said it all Hakke no Fūin Shiki," he whispered.
A flash of light illuminated everything as it did both Kushina and Minato gave their son their final goodbyes "We love you Naruto."
As the last of their life and the white light swallowed their vision, their last sight was of their son smiling peacefully in his sleep.
Omake What would of happen if Minato and Kushina lived
Three Months After the Kyuubi attack.
Kushina was practically jumping up and down, and in her arms Naruto laughed enjoying the free ride. "Kushina-Chan calm down." Her husband told her.
"How can I stay calm, when todays the day." At that there was a knock at the door, Kushina shouted "I'll get it." Before she moved so fast to the door that Minato thought she learned the Hiraishin, he could only smile at his wife's antics.
As Kushina opened the door she saw, long midnight blue hair and pale lavender eyes. "Hitomi!" she screamed as she hugged her best friend with one arm.
Happy at her friend's antics, but knew she couldn't let this last she told her friend "be careful I'm with child."
In between Kushina and Hitomi, baby Naruto and Hinata were squished together, at seeing each other they laughed as they started to grab and pull their new play thing.
"Oh, sorry I couldn't help it, I'm just so happy to a playmate for Naru-Chan." Kushina proceeded to move away, pulling Naruto and Hinata apart and earning cries from both of the, as they cried to get back to one another.
"Whoops, their, their Naru-Chan."Kushina tried to soothe her son and Hitomi did the same for her daughter.
But neither of them stopped crying, which surprised both the new mother's because both of their babies have always calmed down when their mothers hugged them.
Both women looked at each other and then back at the toddlers and saw they kept reaching for the other.
Hitomi moved closer to Kushina and Hinata latched back on to Naruto, tighter than ever and hugged his head to her baby chest and Naruto just laughed his head as he rubbed his head at Hinata. Hinata gave the red haired women a glare as if she knew she was responsible for taking her Naruto away, and then proceeded to hug Naruto as much as she could like he was a plushy, and he was more than happy about the attention.
"Ah ah ah!" Both mothers broke out laughing as their children played with each other in their children's arms "Well, at least we don't have to worry about them not liking each other" Hitomi said.
"Yeah at this rate, we may need to marry them both." Both women smiled at the idea, and thought about making it happen.
"No, never!" Came a voice from the side, which was Hiashi Hyuga who was greeting Minato "No one is taking my daughter way from me." Hiashi stated as he tried to pick Hinata up, but she gave him a glare that screamed "DON'T YOU DARE!" that stopped him in his tracks before she went back to petting Naruto like a pet and he purred at her mistrals.
Hiashi was left heartbroken that his little girl, his princesses was lost to him by another man already, as he wept tears Minato came and patted his friend on the back.
Kushina and Hitomi just laughed harder at the Konoha Cold Hearted Ninja "Well Hiashi it seems Hinata-Chan would rather be with my little Naru-Chan than you."
"Yep, we definitely have to get them hitched." Hitomi agreed, "But…" Hiashi tried to argue, but the glares of his wife and Kushina and his daughter turned him into a quivering mess, unable to deny what are probably the three scariest women in history when they want something.
"Now, now they're still too young while don't you wait till their older, by the looks of it you won't have to do anything, anyway." Minato came to his rescue, and the wife's agreed with him, Hiashi looked at his saviour with thanks.
Kushina and Hitomi took both children into the room and were extra careful not to pull apart their playing children and put them down on the floor.
As soon as Naruto touched the floor, he tackled the young Hyuga, Hinata grabbed Naruto hair as she began to giggle.
When Naruto pulled himself up, he brought Hinata up to and then tried to grab her own midnight blue hair, but when he tired Hinata mouth chomped down on Naruto hand.
Naruto was silent before he giggled at his Hinata and Hinata did the same tickling Naruto some more.
The children started to grab and bite each other their toothless mouths, not hurting them in any way.
When Naruto separated form Hinata for just a second she made a pout before tackling Naruto to the floor.
Hitomi and Kushina watched wide eyed as their babies were face to face their lips touching each other and they blinked at unknowingly sharing their first kiss.
"OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD, WHERE'S THE CAMERA, WHERE'S THE CAMERA!" Kushina screamed
"It's in that draw!" Hitomi pointed and Kushina produced a golden chain that bust through the draw, and grabbed the camera and bring it to her in seconds.
As it landed in her hands Kushina and Hitomi began to gush at their children's first kiss, taking as many pictures at they could from all angles.
"That's it, we are so getting them betrothed." Both women said before screaming and hugging eachother for the children already finding love.
Hiashi was thinking something else. "That boy is so dead how, dare he lay a hand on my daughter!" Hiashi shouted.
Both Kushina and Hitomi gave Hiashi a glare that threatened "You will do what we say, and will not question it or else." Hiashi cowered at his wife and friend before taking a look at his princess only to see her giving him the same look as both children were hugging each other protectively.
With a yellow flash Hiashi noticed Minato was gone "Cowered!" he screamed as he cowered back more, knowing he broke three of the most important rules when dealing with women.
Never try and argue with them ever.
Never ever piss your wife off.
And ever, ever piss both your wife and her BFF friend off.
This was doubly so when those two women are the strongest kunoichi in the village and were just made the leaders of the Konoha mom's association.
Hiashi was in very, very deep shit, however, just as they were about to murder the Hyuga head Minato arrived and handed them a paper and pen.
The mother's looked at it and saw it was a betrothal contract and went to sign it immediately, Hiashi went wide eyed and tried to stop them, but he luckily was put back in his place with a glare.
Kushina and Hitomi signed the betrothal contract and so did Minato and a very, very reluctant Hiashi.
The mother screamed "Yeahhh!" and their children followed not knowing their mommies were celebrating their betrothal.
Hiashi wept tears of misery for years at losing his daughter to another man so quickly already and it didn't stop until his second daughter was born, but sadly she too ended up being taken away by the Sarutobi child.
Authors Note
And that's it please review and tell me what you think, next chapter will be a start of a new arc and the aftermath of the attack featuring Naruto fate being decide and the results of the attack.
Also can you please tell me whether you or not you want me to keep doing the Japaneses name of Jutsu then show the English translation, I don't mind either way I just want to know if I should just use English and not bother writing the Japaneses name, if my readers prefer that then I'll change it I don't mind it much.

A few messages
Ferduran has posted a challenge on my forum details below if you want to discuss it the forum can be found on my profile and the link for the challenge at the very bottom, or you can just ask for me to send you the URL in a review or PM.
The conditions for the challenge is Two lifes in one time
Because an accident in the Uzumaki mask temple Naruto now can remember the memories of his past two life's Azura the younger son of the sage and Hashirama Senju, but those memories come little by little. The elements of this Challenge are:
A. Naruto family will be alive but ignored him in favor of his sister that has Kurama sealed inside her.
B. Naruto will start to remember both his past lives and get stronger in secret.
C. Hinata will be the pairing of Naruto. Also because they are soul mates that would made that Hinata is Mito Uzumaki reincarnation and an OC that would be Asuras wife. How she starts to also remember her past lives is up to you.
D. From this point the history can take two different ways. Naruto could remain on Konoha where his family will try to make up to him. Or Naruto and Hinata could abandoned Konoha and become legends on another country and even become their rulers.
E. No matter which plot lines you chose, at one point Naruto and Hinata will have their family with Bolt and Himawari, if you made that either Kushina and Naruto's sister could not have more babies, that would made Naruto believe that the Namikaze family only cares about continuing their clans lines. Whatever that is true or not is up to you.
Second Challenge also by Ferduran this one doesn't have a forum topic yet so please PM if you take it.
The dragon container: An crossover between Fairly Tail and Naruto (Only a little part) If you had also saw Fairly Tail, at the end of the Tartarous saga we saw how all the dragons disappeared in the air. But what if in that moment happen the Kyubi attack and the sealing with Kurama been sealed inside Naruto's sister and the essence of all the dragons inside Naruto that has as result that a new more powerful dragon is born from the union of all the others dragons inside Naruto. It will be a Neglected story, you can made that instead of the sage mode Naruto use the dragon force. Even if the dragons come from the fairly tail universe the events will happen in Naruto Universe with only Naruto's characters.
Also I would like to mention a story that I got permission to put for adoption for a sequel,Negai ga kanau this story isn't a NaruHina one but it has no pairing in it and was a great read its author Cyn V who adopted and completed the story from Soul-Kit524, let me put it up for adoption.
The reason I did this is because I think it could make a really good story if it was followed up with sequel of what happened to Naruto after the first story, where him and Hinata get together.
Anyone interested PM me and I'll send you the URL for the forum topic it is on , which has the requirements I have for it.
