AN: [As for the scene we'll be going to would be sealing part because it becomes quite boring to read what we all already know. Up till then everything is going to be the same. But there will be no villains, no obito and stuff. The seal broke because Minato was distracted by Kushina's cries of pain and lost control for a moment which was enough for kyuubi to come out.]

2.A reunion with the past

[Inside konoha gates]

"Forgive me Kushina. I know I am asking too much out of you but how can I ask someone else to make this sacrifice I myself am unwilling to make? Naruto will have to grow up without his parents but he's our son. I am sure he'll be strong enough to bear this burden."

"Naruto!" Kushina, the young mother cried thinking about the life her and Minato's son will have to go through. Her poor child will have to suffer the harshness of this dark world alone without his parents torn her heart. Even more so the fact that she wouldn't be able to do anything but watch helplessly no matter how much she wanted to be there for her son. But she knew Minato was right. As Hokage's wife it was her duty to always stand by his side and support his decision but as a mother she felt that his decision couldn't be more wrong. She knew what she had to do and nodded at him.

[Meanwhile, outside Konoha gates]

There was a bright flash of light accompanied by an outburst of immense chakra which was followed by the appearance of 2 people.

Without saying anything to the woman beside him, the man started making handsigns. The woman didn't take it as an offense though understanding the graveness of the situation. Instead she immediately activated her bloodline and made sure they were alone.

Soon there was a poof of smoke and what would look like a huge scroll of paper to civilians appeared. But for ninjas it was the paper very few had the privilege to sign; a summoning contract. The scroll opened on its own and a demonic script in shades of gold and crimson started appearing at the border. As soon as it stopped the man wrote his name in the first block with his chakra and handprints of blood below it. After he was done he signaled the woman over to follow his actions. After she did as told, they both disappeared in golden flash.

[Inside Konoha gates]

"Shikifuin!"

With that, Minato sealed Kyuubi's yang chakra in himself. He got ready to repeat the sealing process with the yin chakra. Just as he started sealing Kyuubi's yin chakra in little Naruto,he saw kyuubi about to kill his son. Even though barely conscious Kushina's motherly instincts allowed her to act and as one, the two parents jumped in front of their son shielding him with their bodies but got impaled by Kyuubi's claws in the process. The pain was too much bear but nothing compared to the happiness they felt at the thought of their son being alive. They got ready to say their last words to their son. Suddenly there was a golden flash so bright that they had to close their eyes. When they opened their eyes they saw two figures. Panic and fear began to reside in their hearts as they realised that the man was absorbing kyuubi's yin chakra from the baby effortlessly as if it was his own. As if that itself wasn't shocking enough, he absorbed Kyuubi's yang chakra with equal ease. Though before they could say anything the second figure came forward. A woman with waist-length midnight blue hair and lavender pupilless eyes smiled gently at them.

"Please do not panic. We mean no harm. Nothing will happen to your son."

Her smile made it impossible for them to not believe her.

"Its done."

The man said coming forward with the baby in his arms. Soon the baby was in bleeding Kushina's waiting arms for the last time and Minato's arm came around her shoulders.

"Tou-chan...Kaa-chan!"

They were shocked to hear those words afterall their son was just a baby born just hour before; but considering the man's appearance they had to believe it no matter how much of an impossibility it was. The man could pass for Minato's twin if not for those whiskermarks on his cheeks. Even they could not ignore the fact that their sleeping son too had same whisker marks on his cheeks. And they came to the conclusion.

The man was their son from the future. And therefore he deserved all the love they could give him at the moment rather the only moment they would ever have with him.

"Soichi!"

Right now with Naru-chan in her arms Hinata could see her Naruto-kun getting hugged to death by his parents. As soon as they snapped out of shock Kushina had wasted no time in giving her baby into Hinata's arms and showing her love towards the man claiming to be her son from future. Minato wasn't far behind. He too had joined them. She couldn't help but smile at the scene. He was finally getting the familial love he always deserved but never got to experience. Feeling something tickle her arms she looked down to see Naru-chan still sleeping but she felt something move again. Ah, there it was! She could see 2 white in the blond mop of hair. She brushed some hair aside and gasped at what she saw. Her gasp was enough to draw the attention of the previously bonding family. In a flash they were beside her.

"What happened?"

The young mother was worried that something was not right with her newborn son.

"Naru-chan has fox ears and tail!"

Kushina and Minato gasped and suddenly coughed up some blood. They knew their time was over. Handing over Naru-chan to Kushina for last time Hinata smiled at them with a determined look in her eyes.

"But he won't be treated as a monster. I and Naruto-kun will make sure he won't be alone."

Hearing those words spoken with such determination soothed the hearts of both parents and they couldn't help but return her smile with their own.

"Soichi, why didn't you tell me about your girlfriend?"

Seeing the sweet smile Naruto would have been happy to answer her if not for the dangerous undertone to her question. Even her hair was flowing upwards in nine tails. Naruto knew he had to answer fast and choose his words carefully or he would be forced to face the wrath of Hot Red Habanero.

"K-kaa-chan she is my wife, Hinata. Harumi and Hiashi Hyuuga's eldest daughter."

Before he could say anything else Kushina hugged her daughter-in-law who blushed but returned the hug.

"She's so cute ttebane!"

Minato also gave his blessings.

"You've made me proud, Naruto."

"I am sorry I didn't tell you before."

"Oh well! How can I stay mad at such a handsome face!"

Everyone sweatdropped at her sudden mood change.

"Kushina-sama, Minato-sama I am glad you approve of me."

"Who wouldn't like you Hina-chan!"

"Besides we would love it if you call us Tou-chan and Kaa-chan when we meet next time. I have sealed some of our chakra in Naru-chan."

Minato's words of assuring their next meeting was a huge relief to everyone

"We love you and are proud of you both."

With those words the Yondaime amd his wife breathed their last.

Seeing the kyuubi gone the villagers broke into cheers of victory and hugged their loved ones. Soon after they cheered for their beloved Yondaime, their hero, who had once again saved their lives.

"Hokage-sama!"

"Report!"

"The kyuubi's dead Hokage-sama."

Hearing this, the Sandaime shunshined to congratulate his successor on his victory.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Sandaime also known as 'The Professor' had been the one to wear the Hat for the longest time. In his lifetime as Hokage he had been through too many hardships and battles. He was the teacher of Sannin, the most talented shinobi but he also saw something others didn't. Along with being the strongest, those three also ended up being the most broken ones. Orochimaru had betrayed them, Tsunade left Konoha being broken emotionally and Jiraiya had hid spy network worldwide. But it only made Hiruzen all the more perceptive and he had learnt an important lesson. Life has an odd way throwing curves at you. Anything is possible no matter how weird things may seem. But he had seen some of those too. After all, what could be weirder than toads dancing on top of dogs, snakes singing songs while being drunk? Even those things didn't prepare him for what he saw.

He had it all thought out. When he reached his destination, he would congratulate Minato and tell him how proud he was of him. Then he would ask about his grandchild and declare his well thought out plans of spoiling it rotten.

But the sight that greeted him was nowhere near his dreams. Seeing Minato and Kushina's dead bodies snapped him back to the cold reality.

"They're dead."

A cold voice told him the same thing he had been trying to accept for the past few moments but was unable to. But he realised that with his successor and his wife dead he was people's hope now. He would mourn later. He looked up to find a face to that voice and was shocked to the core by the striking resemblance between the blond man and his now dead successor. He had always thought that no matter how weird things might be he would be able to handle the situations and ...But nothing prepared him for this. He quickly masked his surprise and donned his businesslike one. He would've asked for the man's identity if not for the sudden baby cries they heard. Then he saw a dark haired woman cooing softly trying to hush the child in her arms. A few moments after the baby was quiet the blond answered his unasked question.

"Arashi and Hitomi Namikaze. And the child is Minato-niichan and Kushina-neechan's son."

And just like that Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that it was going to be a long night.

'I am getting too old for this shit.'

"Let's talk in my office."

[At Hokage tower]

"Rat! Sparrow! Call the shinobi council! Tell them it's urgent!"

Few shunshins later the ino-shika-chou trio, Hiashi, Fugaku, Shibi, Tsume and heads of other minor clans were present in the Hokage's office.

"Hokage-sama! May I ask what kind of situation required our immediate presence?" Shibi Aburame asked what was in everyone else's mind.

"Yeah! We all wanna know what the hell is going on?" Barked the impatient Tsume of Inuzuka clan.

"Troublesome! Please let Hokage-sama speak so we can get to the solution." Said the lazy Nara clan head Shikaku with a yawn.

"So you can go back to your nap Nara!?" Everyone snickered at Tsume's jab.

Not getting any answer in return everyone understood the Nara thought it would be too troublesome to reply. Seeing that everyone has settled down and he has everyone's attention the Professor told them of Minato and Kushina's deaths and just like he excpected chaos ensued.

"Silence!" Everyone obeyed his orders immediately knowing the consequences of doing otherwise.

"I am not done yet. Due to Minato's death, the hat will be mine once again until another successor is found and announced. Also this is not the main reason I have called for the meeting."

"Murasaki-san! Please send them in."

"Hai!" The secretary answered immediately.

Shikaku Nara was a wise man. Becoming the clan head merely at the age of 19 due to his father's sudden demise; he had led his clan to even better days inspite of being the youngest clan head to the date. Along with the responsibility of being clan head he was also entitled to another set of duties besides being a shinobi. Blame it on his 200 plus IQ or his strategic mind for also having the most troublesome job of being Hokage's chief strategist and advisor. He would generally need few minutes at the most to think upto 100 solutions to all the probable eventualities and decide the best course of action out of them. Sometimes he would have already guessed the problem based on the circumstances before it was even presented to him. He had never failed so far. So he believed he had good reason to be confident about the troublesome situation Hokage-sama was talking about. He just wanted to get this over with so he could go home and get his well deserved nap after going through several headaches what with the kyuubi incident that occured not even an hour ago. So he calmly started analysing the situation while other members of the council were in uproar. But when he saw a man resembling now late Yondaime and the woman beside him a Hyuuga with a child in her arms he admitted defeat. His assumptions couldn't have been farther from this. And just like that, Shikaku knew this was going to be a very much troublesome situation and he wasn't going to get his nap any soon.

'Troublesome!'

As Arashi opened the door for Hitomi he readied himself for the questioning. He knew it was going to be one hell of a night. Naruto's ( he was going to address himself as Arashi from now on; hell he even signed the summoning contract using this name ) transformation had complicated things a bit further but the situation couldn't be helped. Besides with Hitomi ( Hinata had agreed that using their new names was safer ) by his side he knew he would be able to handle anything. This night was just one of the many obstacles to come on the path he chose for them both. He smirked thinking about the reactions they were going to get regarding his looks if the Sandaime's reaction was anything to go by, but the same looks could spell trouble for him. Same could be said for Hitomi's eyes. He also hoped that the Nara head doesn't find any loopholes to their story. Hopefully he would be able to think of those while they recover from the kyuubi incident, and Naruto's transformation. Besides if they even think of hurting his family ( not that they could ), he had a plan to keep them under leash.

'Well, let the games begin!'

As the couple entered, gasps could be heard throughout the room except for the third and the Nara head who found it too troublesome to do so, but his raised eyebrows gave away his true feelings regarding the matter.

"Yondaime!" The whispers and gasps could be heard throughout the room.

The Sandaime cleared his throat and everyone was once again painfully reminded of their beloved Hokage's death.

"I assume his resemblance to Minato proves their relationship. The young man is Arashi Namikaze, Minato's younger brother. The lady beside him is his wife, Hitomi."

And again there was an uproar in the council. Many of them were enraged still disbelieving of the proof before them.

"It's clear he is lying Hokage-sama."

"I agree, he's an impostor."

"He must be using a henge!"

In the midst of this chaos, the Nara clan head decided to observe the child in the woman now known as Hitomi's arms.

'If the child's parents are who I think then...wait! Something's moving...are those tails...Oh man...this matter is getting more complicated with each passing moment. Troublesome!'

Everyone was silenced when they felt the Third's killing intent.

"Are you saying that I am lying to the Shinobi council?"

When no one opposed he motioned for Arashi to speak. Arashi met each person's gaze and spoke.

"However different your opinions might be, the fact cannot be changed that Minato Namikaze was my elder brother. And the evidence I gave was enough for the Sandaime to believe me. Though I am here for a different reason. The child Hitomi has in her arms is our nephew Naruto Namikaze. Very few people were aware of Kushina's pregnancy so it is quite expected that you all would be surprised. As for his appearance he came into contact with Kyuubi's chakra resulting in his transformation into a Hanyou."

"Exactly the reason why he should be trained by me." the cold voice could belong to only Danzo Shimura, the dark shinobi. Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, the seniormost members of the council flanked his sides voicing their approval of Danzo's decision.

"That won't be needed. Considering his condition only I can train him to control his chakra." Arashi's statement only added to confusion of everyone present in the room. Smirking openly at them he decided to answer the why and how in everyone's mind.

"Because I am the current Jinchuriki of Kyuubi no Kitsune." Taking in the council's shocked faces, he continued," Hitomi, let's go home. Old man, you know where to find me." He didn't disappear before leaving them one last message.

"And before you decide to take any action regarding my status as jinchuriki, even if it is training, let me tell you Danzo, I am in full control of the chakra."

And the implication was not lost on anyone in the room. Yet for everyone's betterment, the Nara head stated the hidden message.

"He's clearly someone we cannot afford to mess with, Hokage-sama."

"But he could be bluffing-"

"No jinchuriki would dare to bluff about their control over bijuu's chakra. Besides his being a Namikaze gives him first right to any decision regarding Naruto's life. The fact that he admitted to being the Kyuubi jinchuriki is a true testament to his strength when there was every chance that we could capture him and his wife for his jinchuriki status." The Nara head cut him off.

"Being at ease in presence of powerful shinobis can only point at 2 reasons foolishness or confidence of strength. And I would assume the latter option in current situation Hokage-sama." The Aburame head explained. He added,"The same could be said for woman. She was confident enough in the man's strength to protect all three of them if her relaxed posture was any indication and it seemed the man knew she trusted him or-"

"-she is equal to the man in strength which is not possible considering his status as a jinchuuriki. It means that she has something else that makes Arashi-san believe she can protect herself as well as Kushina and Minatao's son while he is fighting some of us." the Nara head continued.

"It is common knowledge how hard it is to fight while carrying a child especially a baby. Also they didn't seem to be overwhelmed at all by our number." Spoke Tsume from her own past experience.

"You're all dismissed." It was obvious that the Sandaime was in no mood to deal with this at the moment. The moment he was alone, he started writing a message.

"Ox! Sparrow! Deliver these 2 messages as soon as possible. Consider this an S-rank mission."

'Damn! I am getting too old for this shit.'

And that's all...this my new year's gift to all the readers and reviewrs. I know there's few minutes left for this but,

Happy New Year!
