'Demon/God thought'

"So sensei, how is you're book selling?" Minato asked his sensei, as they sat in his kitchen, his meetings for the day were over and now he had Jiraiya come to his house to tell him his and Kushina's news"

"It didn't make it on the bestseller's list" Jiraiya exclaimed sighing "In fact it barely sold at all, maybe I should sex up the sequel, that's my forte after all!"

"Well I liked it!" Minato grinned, Jiraiya sat slightly shocked "The way the character refuses to give up right until the end was really cool, sensei, in fact it's like an autobiography of your life and so I decided and Kushina agreed to name our son after the character in the book."

"Really?" Jiraiya sat even more dumbfounded "It was just a random name that came to me while I was eating some ramen."

"Naruto. It's a beautiful name" Kushina responded, a blush appearing on her face as she looked at her stomach.

"But that would make me his godfather, are you sure you want that on your heads" Jiraiya said, positive that they needed reasoning with.

"Absolutely!" Minato responded instantly, his smile never leaving his face "You're a great and powerful shinobi and a greater man, you're the best role model for him."

"Well, if you put it that way" Jiraiya blushed and scratched the back of his head "What about the girl, have you thought of a name for her?"

"I just can't find one a like" Kushina complained she'd been thinking hard about it all day.

"Well just make sure it's a name that you and her will love forever" Jiraiya nonchalantly spoke.

'Love?' Kushina thought.

"We came here to be the vessels of the Nine-Tails... But before that, we must find love and fill the vessel with it"

"Mito." Kushina spoke, as that fond cherished memory resurfaced in her heart, she knew what she wanted to call her daughter "I want to call our daughter Mito"(1)

"I love it" Minato agreed with a small smile.

"So Teihaku, Naruto and Mito" Jiraiya exclaimed "Interesting names, but which one do you think will succeed you as Hokage eh, Minato". He finished with a laugh.

This is caused the parents to laugh, which one would succeed him.

'The Yondaime is a fool!' Orochimaru thought, he never knew that Minato could be so gullible. This deal he made to keep him loyal to the village was the perfect cover for his intentions. Minato, to keep Orochimaru loyal to Konoha allowed him to fuel his ambitions to become immortal.

The deal was: That to keep Orochimaru loyal to the village, Minato would allow him to learn a jutsu from the forbidden scroll, each time he would have to pay 20'000'000 ryo for each jutsu, also Orochimaru could only look at the scroll in Minato's presence, to make sure he did only obtain one jutsu.

However, Minato, being blinded by the same compassion for others that his Hokage predecessors were, left fatal flaws in this deal. Ones that Orochimaru exploited completely 'Minato has clearly forgotten who he is dealing with' He thought, his cunning mind ever thinking.

The first flaw was the amount of freedom Minato gave him, no one was allowed to spy on him inside or outside of the village, allowing him to continue his work privately in the secret bases set set up outside the Land of Fire.

This tied into the second flaw. The length of the missions he took meant he was away from the village for months on end and thanks to his ever increasing strength he completed them within a fraction of the time set, giving him months to experiment with a distraction.

The third flaw tied to the second the pay he received from the missions were substantial, within 5 months he had already had enough for his first purchase, he even took up bounty hunting as a side project to keep his money high.

The fourth fatal flaw was that the Yondaime had no idea what other jutsu he learned or developed. In fact his most important one was the ability to send chakra to his eyes, allowing him to read at a much faster rate and pouring chakra into his cerebral cortex, speeding up the rate at which new memory pathways developed, creating crystal clear photographic memory. He used this new technique while looking through the forbidden scroll, instantly memorizing the jutsu his eyes scanned, to write down and practice later, and Minato obliviously stands there thinking that Orochimaru was just trying to find a jutsu that interested him.

The first technique Orochimaru made sure to learn was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, although his chakra capacity only allowed him to create 150 shadow clones, it still radically decreased the time spent mastering jutsu.

For now he would continue on his two newly aqquired techniques, the interesting Summoning: Impure World Resurrection, a jutsu that if a living sacrifice is offered, can summon the dead back to the realm of the living, Tobirama Senju, the Nidaime Hokage was the only person to learn this technique and had the technique placed into the scroll prior to his death. Orochimaru decided this technique was perfect, to be able offer people their deceased loved ones back to them in exchange for something in return would prove vital, the deceased would be a shell of their former selves, but what they don't know won't hurt them. In battle he could use it to psychologically break down his opponent, forcing them to fight the people they have lost, using his special fuda tag to sap them of their free will and obediently follow his orders.

The other jutsu was again very interesting, the Immortal Phoenix Rebirth Technique(2), a jutsu that, when sending roughly 25% of the user's chakra to their heart, would act as a kick-start should the heart stop beating, the chakra jolting the heart causing it to beat again, this jutsu could cause him to evade death, at least until his muscles started deteriorating, and ironically this jutsu caused a massive strain on the heart as well, usually not able to hold that much chakra, only the incredibly strong could live through it, therefore it was made forbidden, according to legend, co-founder of Konoha; Madara Uchiha was the one who created this jutsu, and Hashirama Senju, ordered the technique to be put in the scroll, Orochimaru would learn this technique or at least replicate it at a smaller scale.

Even with his new skills, Orochimaru knew not to challenge the Yondaime Hokage, that blasted Hiraishin made him practically unbeatable, and he was acting loyal to extend his life span, not shorten it.

Orochimaru continued with his training undisturbed, Konoha distracted by the upcoming birth of the Yondaime's children, the birth was any day now.

"Come, Kushina!" Biwako shouted "We have to get to the designated location!"

"But the contractions, they hurt!" Kushina whined as she waddled along the path.

"Remember, girl that women are strong, that is why we give birth, you don't won't to let down you're gender, do you?" Biwako shouted, but clearly Kushina was too tired to continue. Luckily she expected this and had a secret weapon, she pulled out as specially made whistle implant with someone's chakra, only person whose chakra was in the whistle could here it. The whistle had one word on it. Might. She blew hard on the whistle and from the view that had overlooking Konoha saw a trial of dust heading towards them.

"YYYYYYOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSHHHHHH!" exclaimed the mass of green headed towards them at an inhumane rate, it landed directly in front of them, revealed to be a young man wearing a green jumpsuit, his face armed with abnormally large, black eyebrows with a sleek, black bowl-cut hairstyle "YOU RANG BIWAKO-SAMA, FOR KONOHA'S BLOOMING GREEN BEAST OF BATTLE, MIGHT GUY!'" Guy shouted ended with his patented nice guy pose, consisting of a thumbs-up, wink and a smile so big and bright it causes his teeth to sparkle, he hoped it would catch on to every shinobi.

"Yes thank you Guy." Biwako spoke, she didn't have time for his antics "You know why you are here you are to carry Kushina to the cliff, an ANBU will take over from there" she told the boy. The boy was without a doubt one of the fastest people in Konoha, for the reason he was requested for this job, to get Kushina to the secure location as fast as possible in the event of premature induced labour, he was to get her there then leave straight away, he wasn't told why and was told no more than that, she even had him swear on his youth not to repeat anything about the request to anyone, after all this was a secret, the boy stupidly agreed to everything, she knew exactly how he worked.

"Of course, Biwako-sama!" Guy exclaimed proudly, "Come Kushina-sama" He said picking her bridal style, giving her no time to refuse, Kushina eep'd slightly as he picked her up, she wasn't expecting a 14-year-old to lift her so easily(3).

Guy readied himself before charging forward towards his destination "FOR YYYYOOOOUUUUTTTTHHHH!" was all that could be heard as he sped off.

"I thought I told the boy to be quiet" Biwako groaned as she too began moving towards the destination.

-Break-

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH IT HUUUUUUURTSS!" was all that could be heard outside of the cave. Inside the cave Kushina was lay on a table, her stomach exposed with her seal covering it completely.

"I've never heard her cry out in pain like this" Minato said worry clear in his voice, sweat on his face as he poured his chakra into the seal, the Kyuubi apparently eager to break free as the seal was at it's weakest again. "Do you... really think she''ll be okay".

"Of course, just keep your eyes on the Kyuubi's seal" Biwako ordered Minato, she wouldn't allow the Kyuubi to be released.

"But..This is.." Minato stammered looking at his wife's pain contorted face.

"You're the Yondaime Hokage, don't just gape like that!" Biwako shouted, trying to rid Minato of his worry "This much pain would kill a man, but women are strong!".

Kushina's screams of pain didn't get any quieter, The Kyuubi had taken to roaring in her mind, attempting to terrify her in order to escape.

'She's strong! The Kyuubi is trying to break free!' Minato over his worry "You can do it Kushina! You can do it Mito! You can do it Naruto!"

-Break-

As Kushina's screams filled out the cave, they were completely unaware of the fact that their ANBU bodyguards outside had been killed. The man, clad in black, slowly moved closer to his goal.

"Soon." He said to himself, his voice containing an slight ecstatic tone to it "I'm so close!"

The ANBU were simple to dispatch with his jutsu. Now he stood just outside the cave's entrance. He could feel it. The Kyuubi's malice, it was think in the air. It was time he regained his pet.

-Break-

"You can do it Kushina-san!" Taji, the ANBU medic-nin shouted.

Kushina's cries of pain were silenced by the cry of a baby. Kushina began laughing. "Who's first?"

"It's Naruto. Naruto is the older of the two" Minato laughed. Naruto was small with his father's blond spiky hair, his cheeks were adorned with three whisker like marks. Minato wondered why they were there, he held back the Kyuubi completely, 'it must be a side-affect of the Jinchuuriki's pregnancy.' he thought.

Taji had taken Naruto away to get cleaned up. While Minato and Kushina chuckled with each other, Biwako reminded them they're job was only half done. "Don't relax yet the other one's coming now!" she shouted, Minato and Kushina nodded, ready for the next delivery.

After a session of Kushina's screams in pain, Mito appeared, she like her brother had their father's blond hair, but instead like her mother her hair was straight and unlike her brother she did not have the whisker like birth marks. Everyone noted that curiously, it was a lot easier this time.

"Biwako-san, why was it easier this time around, even with Teihaku, it wasn't as difficult as it was with Naruto and why doe Naruto only have the whiskers, why not Teihaku or Mito" Minato asked.

"I can only assume that the Kyuubi failing to escape at Teihaku's birth gave it a personal grudge against you, therefore at Naruto's birth it used massive amounts of it's energy to prove a point; that it is stronger than you, hence Naruto's whiskers and when it came to Mito's birth it just didn't have the unrestricted willpower left that it needed to escape" Biwako attempted to explain, but sure still was sure.

Mito had been given to Minato after she had been cleaned up, Taji and Biwako were examining Naruto to find out about these curious birth marks. Minato looking at his daughter who opened her eyes to see her father, she smiled instantly.

Tears instantly poured down his face at the gesture, "Hi, That's right, I'm your dadd-OW!" He shrieked, slightly girlish as the infant pulled on the long blonde bang that framed his face.

Kushina began chuckling, exhausted from delivering two babies, still found the scene funny. "Imagine if Iwa found this out." she said between pants "That the Konoha's Yellow Flash's weakness, is his hair".

Minato chuckled at the joke "Kushina-chan, I know you're tired but you need to exert full control over the Kyuubi now".

"Right" she panted.

Their thoughts were stopped by the sound of two screams, as they turned to see the commotion they saw Taji and Biwako fall to the floor, a pool of blood beginning to surround them, but what shocked them the most was that in the arms of an mysterious masked man, who was reeking of hatred and vengeance, was Naruto.

"Yondaime Hokage Minato." the man spoke, incredibly calmly, it was unnerving "Back away from the Jinchuuriki, or your son dies at the ripe old age of ten minutes..."

Minato stood facing the man 'How did he break through the barrier? Who the hell is this guy?' he shifted his weight ready to attack and retrieve his son, when Kushina groaned in pain, her seal began contorting. "Kushina!" Minato exclaimed. 'the seal's not done'.

"Back away from the Jinchuuriki...or don't you care if your son dies" the man spoke again.

"Hold it. J-Just calm down!" Minato said attempting to negotiate with the man.

"You should take your own advice Yondaime, I'm perfectly calm!" The man shouted as he threw Naruto in the air, readying to impale him on a kunai.

The man made a mistake, He forgot who he was dealing with. Minato, daughter still in his arm sped forwards catching his son with his free arm landing gently on the wall, looking down at his two children.

"Well played Minato, but what now!" The man spoke activating the Exploding Tags on Naruto's cloth.

Minato, at first shocked at the tags, quick regaining his composure, expertly remove Naruto's cloth while juggling both the twins. The tags exploded. Using his superior speed he outraced the explosion, the only wound he received was a splinter of wood in his ankle. Minato flashed to his special storage warehouse, here Mito and Naruto would be safe, he placed them down on a small bed and began preparing to battle this mystery assailant.

-Break-

"It's been a long time, Kyuubi" The man spoke standing in front of the Kyuubi, within the Jinchuuriki's subconscious, after restrain her, so he could enter her mind more easily.

The Kyuubi was tied to a ball tied down with Kushina's accursed chakra chains, chakra spikes impaling it's many limbs and chest, pinning it down completely, looked down at the man, furious when it saw the man red eye complete with three black tomoe. "You! What are you doing here!" Kyuubi asked, furious at the man who it instantly recognized.

"Let's get you out of here, eh" The man spoke, looking the Kyuubi directly in the eye with his Sharingan. The Kyuubi's eyes changed from it's slitted pupils, to the Sharingan eye, till eventually a blood red eye with one large circular black pupil. The special ball of special chakra it was tied to started melting loosening the spikes.

With one ferocious roar the Kyuubi broke free of it's chains and exploded out of Kushina's weakened seal.

"COME FORTH, KYUUBI NO YOKO!" The man ordered as the Kyuubi's body began to form out side of Kushina, for the first time in decades, it was free. "We head for Konoha" The man ordered.

"S-Stop." Kushina spoke weakly.

"The Uzumaki clan is something, to survive a tailed beast extraction without a life-transfer technique. Your clan has my respect" The man spoke what Kushina believed would be the final words that she would hear "Kill her!"

…...The Kyuubi's claws never came, she opened her eyes, she was in Minato's warehouse in Minato's arms, the same position she was in when she first fell in love with him. He saved her again. Minato set her down next to her two children, she wanted Teihaku here as well, she knew she was dying and wanted to tell each of them how much she loved them, how she knew they would grow into splendid people. She could help but smile and cry as she held her two new born babies, while thinking of her eldest.

Minato looked at the scene, he watched Kushina hug their two babies, he knew that if he went to face the Kyuubi, he wouldn't return, but how could he tell her that, he began to put on his coat, 'Yondaime Hokage' written on the back, his family was safe, now to save the rest of his family, it was time to save Konohagakure. By any means necessary. "I'll be back before you know it" he spoke, with that he flashed away. Ready to fight the Kyuubi.

"What... is this awful feeling?" Itachi asked cradling his younger brother Sasuke 'why did mom and dad have to be away now' he thought, he didn't like the feeling in the air.

"What'd you say Itachi?" Teihaku asked, returning from the bathroom, he had been invited to stay by Mikoto while Kushina gave birth, he and Itachi were close friends, something their moms had been particularly happy about, currently he and Itachi had been sitting in the Uchiha's garden, talking.

"Don't you feel it, the feeling of impending doom?" Itachi asked.

"Yeah, now that you mention it" Teihaku said noticing the foreboding aura in the air "I'm gonna go and find my parents, I feel like I have to be with them" he finished heading for the door.

Itachi noticed Sasuke began squirming around, as if worried and eventually began crying, 'could he sense it too' he thought "Don't worry Sasuke" Itachi spoke softly rocking his young brother, "Your big brother is here to protect you no matter what."

-Break-

Minato had just delivered a Rasengan to this mystery mans back, who he had identified as Madara Uchiha, he out-sped and out-matched a man who could not be hit, first by running at him while throwing his special kunai at him, it phased through him, predictably, he had to become solid again to hit Minato, and Minato used the Hiraishin to teleport to the just thrown kunai, effectively putting him behind Madara giving him his chance to deliver a direct attack.

Madara squirmed on the floor, heavily injured, the attack caused him to lose focus and lost his control over the Kyuubi. 'You've beaten me, Yondaime Hokage' He admitted to himself, it appeared the standards of the Hokage hadn't diminished since Hashirama.

Minato left him there, getting the Kyuubi out of Konoha was now his top priority.

-Break-

The Kyuubi noticed that Madara's control over it was gone, yet it decided, as punishment for keeping it as it's pet for decades, Konoha would perish tonight. It began destroying every building in sight, the Shinobi of Konoha launched their flurries of kunai and shuriken against it. But those small weapons did nothing, it barely felt them, this freedom was short lived as a massive toad appeared out of nowhere and shoulder thrusted it then pinning it to the ground.

It watched the massive toad complain about fighting the Kyuubi, then he felt as if he was being summoned again, the next thing the Kyuubi saw it was far away from the village, the only other things there were, the Yondaime Hokage, his former Jinchuuriki and there two newborns. It didn't like the look in their eyes. Its prediction was correct as it's Ex-Jinchuuriki shot those damn chakra chains out of her body pinning it down again. It watched the Hokage, summons the eight-trigrams throne and place the baby boy on it 'He plans to seal me again into the twerp' The Kyuubi thought, but it wouldn't let that happen again, it swung it's massive claws down, aiming to shred apart that baby.

-Break-

"WHY OUR SON!" Kushina shouted at her husband hearing his plan, restraining the Kyuubi with her special chakra chains.

"THERE'S NO OTHER WAY KUSHINA!" Minato retaliated, he was planning to seal the Kyuubi into his son, the village needed a Jinchuuriki and the tailed beasts balance needed to remain, something that wouldn't be possible, if Kushina went ahead with her own plan. To draw the Kyuubi back into herself and die with her.

"BUT OUR SON, HE'S JUST BEEN BORN!" Kushina yelled, adamant to not have her son share the burden she once held.

"Don't you understand?" Minato said calmly, tears began pouring down his face "How can a ask a parent to do something that, as a parent myself, couldn't do: to give up their child. How can I ask an orphan, already an outcast in their home, to become a pariah. No it has to be him" Minato ended, his voice breaking.

"But what about Teihaku and Mito? They still need a father, someone to teach them" Kushina pleaded.

"There's stuff that, as a father, I can't talk to them about, especially Mito, that's a Mother's job, giving his life to make theirs better, now that's a dad's job, besides, their our kids after all, have a little faith in them" Minato spoke, summoning the death god, he was going ahead with his plan, the seal was weakest during child birth, so the logical thing to do would be to avoid that weakest, that's why he chose Naruto.

He summoned the throne for the Eight trigrams seal. He turned to face the Kyuubi, however he realized the Kyuubi knew what he was planning to do and brought it's massive claws towards them intending to crush them.

"MMMOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! DDDDDAAAADDDD!" A new voice called, Minato froze, he couldn't be here, he turned as he saw a small boy with medium-length spiky red hair, wearing a black shirt, under a dark orange jacket complete with a hood and plain blue shorts running towards them, tears pouring from his blue eyes. But his little legs wouldn't carry him fast enough to reach them, his entire family would die in front of his eldest son's eyes(4).

-Break-

Teihaku ran through the forest, he knew his parents had to be around here somewhere, he scanned for any possible clues to there whereabouts, until the Kyuubi appeared out of nowhere a few hundred metres ahead of him, he knew that this must be his father's work. He ran towards the Kyuubi, he had to help his parents anyway he could.

He arrived to find his parents and two new young siblings, across the field from the Kyuubi, pinned down by a strange technique by his mom, the Kyuubi even while pinned down managed to move it's arm aiming for them all. Teihaku's legs began running towards them, he knew there was nothing he could do, but his body moved on its own.

"MMMOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! DDDDDAAAADDDD!" he shouted gaining their attention. Their face's were shocked at his presence, he continued running, he couldn't let his family die in front of him. Tears began pouring from his eyes, his mind already beginning to mentally collapse, he reached out to his family, as if to close the distance between them. His vision was darkening as the Kyuubi's are moved closer, time seemed to slow down Teihaku screamed "STOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP!", then he blacked out.

-Break-

His son had managed to grab the Kyuubi's hand, with the same chakra chains as Kushina. "He has her special chakra ability" Minato thought proudly, his son appeared to have blacked out from fear and shock, but had managed to buy him enough time to activate the dead demon seal. The Shinigami appeared, in all his horrific glory.

"You summoned me, mortal" He spoke serious.

"Yes" replied Minato "I need you to seal the Kyuubi into my son there, on the Eight trigrams throne"

"Consider it done" The Shinigami answered, he began, performing and other worldly technique of his own the Kyuubi, was sucked towards the baby's stomach entering it, it roared violently, trying to stop it's sealing, eventually the Kyuubi was completely sealed in the boy, the seal closing.

"Well time to go go, are you ready?" The Shinigami asked Minato.

Minato pondered. Was he really ready to die?, He wanted to see his sons grow up, to the point where they thought they surpassed him, then completely prove them wrong, He wanted to humiliate his sons in front of their girlfriends by telling embarrassing stories of their childhoods. He wanted to scare the living shit out of the boy who had the gall to ask him for his little girl's hand. He wished to have a grandchild sit on his lap, smiling as he told them stories of his youth. Finally he desired to die peacefully, of old age, surrounded by his loved ones, Kushina holding his hand. He knew then what his answer was.

"I'm not ready" Minato spoke quietly.

"...Very well" The Shinigami spoke, now in a surprisingly laid back and easy going voice, completely different to his dark, deep ominous tone just a few moments ago.

"Say what?" Minato stood baffled.

"Look, I don't care when I get your soul, I just care about getting it, I'll let you live past tonight, from then you're own your own" The Shinigami explained.

Minato smiled, he would live! He turned to his wife, her breathing had become quieter, yet she still looked him in the eyes, smiling back at his smile, Minato drop his smile then, sorrow appearing on his face "But, my wife, she won't survive the night, I could never replace her, please, is there anything you can do?" Minato pleaded.

"Hmm" the Shinigami thought, he clicked his fingers, watching the girl's eyes widen, he allowed her to see him.

"Is that the Shinigami?" Kushina spoke, scared out her wits.

"Yes I am, and I have a proposition for you" The Shinigami began. "I'll let you live through this night, in return when you die, I will receive your soul".

"DEAL!" Kushina shouted without hesitation, no second thought was needed, the Shinigami was offering her a chance to see her children grow up, she would take it!

"Excellent" The Shinigami smiled, rubbing his hands together, he clicked his fingers and Kushina fell asleep "She will wake tomorrow, without any health problems".

"Thank you, Shinigami-sama!" Minato thanked the god with all his heart. He and his wife would live to see their children another day.

"Just remember" The Shinigami said pointing to Minato "When your tickers stop ticking, you're asses are mine" He finished pointing to himself now with his thumb. "And one final piece of advice, don't follow your deals fully, no one ever does...well, except me..." The Shinigami warned disappearing into the air.

Minato blinked 'What was that warning about?', he shook it from his head, deeming it not important. He smiled, sleep taking over him, for tomorrow would be a very bright day.

A/N: And thats a wrap, I feel pretty good about this chapter, just out of curiosity, could you tell I was rushing near the end and avoiding any fight scene, don't think I am gonna enjoy writing them. Oh and the thing with Guy, just a small omake really trying to skip time, without actually time skipping, hope it was funny.

(1) Read the manga or go on Narutopedia to find out who Mito is and why their daughter is named after her.

(2) Just a random jutsu I made up, but now that I think about it, it may hold a significant role later on

(3) Simple math, Guy is 30 in shippuden minus 16 means he was fourteen at the attack

(4) If anyone wants to draw Teihaku feel free and show me please, it would be greatly apprieciated, I'm gonna try draw him myself too, but I'm not a good drawer

Okay that's it, chapter 3 will be the end of the prologue's me thinks, finally setting the story, but it won't be up for a couple of weeks i have no ideas on how to fill a 3000 word chapter, so if you have any extra idea's please let me know, but I know how and why Teihaku disappears, but feel free to guess. Review please! XD
