Yondaime's Mistake

. . . . . I don't own . . . . .

Chapter 3

Kazekage

The ANBU level ninjas trembled in fear as the former Hokage stared down the nins with killing intent rolling off of him in gut wrenching level, his fiery stare bore into the minds of every veteran to the point of future nightmares.

His breathing was heavy, his stare was wide and demanding, his chakra was showing malice and death its normal blue hue was darker as if knowing the situation.

He repeated again "Where is my son!" this time louder, his patience wearing thin, not a soul moved; confused perhaps, he didn't care.

"Where is my son!" he screamed, the only movements were the trembling of the suna nins hands as they desperately tried to control themselves.

He pulled out two kunai from his white jacket and showed them to the nins in present, he heard gasps but he ignored them.

The shinobi of suna all knew the greatness of the Yondaime, he was considered if not was the greatest shinobi of all time, his ninjutsu was creative and deadly, his signature moves were quick and powerful, the mix of the Hirashin jutsu with its unlimited range, unheard of speed and deadly accuracy, and the Rasengan's amazing strength made it the ultimate one two technique.

A brave man among the hardened veterans of Suna's soldiers spoke in a careful well spoken voice "W-What d-do you m-mean" he said confused and scared.

Minato wasn't listening to reason, he ignored the statement and roared in anger, if they had his son, if they had even touched him he would destroy this village in seconds.

The chakra surrounding him was dark blue, while by his hands were a dark golden color that was sparking and smoking as he held the kunai, he was ready to let them loose and find his son.

A large chakra source came to the ANBU's rescue; the Kazekage arrived with a firm look that matched the former fourth Hokage.

"You, how dare you come here and destroy the buildings of my village. Leave before I am forced to kill you" the Kazekage said with a snare in his voice and an absolute confidence in his voice.

"Where is my child" he said in an evil way, threatening not only the Kazekage, but an entire ANBU platoon, that sort of confidence made any man worry.

"I don't know what-

He snapped, he left the building in godlike speeds, ANBU following in vein as only the Kazekage could stay with the Yondaime.

His vision was focused despite the speeds he was traveling, his deep blue eyes moved seeing every detail that passed, every surprised face, every unnoticed look, everything .

The Kazekage was confused with the small message that was left with him but he managed to solve it slightly, he was searching for his child, that was obvious enough, but, he for some reason blamed Suna and or his ANBU ops.

He would know something of this level of an ANBU mission that involved a former Hokage and kidnapping his son.

He rushed the warm chakra from his center to his legs and felt the rush as the chakra flexed his muscles and shortened the large gap between his self and the blonde.

He somehow got near him and thrust his self, he kicked the back of the man and forced him to stumble, he lost track and flipped to stop the momentum.

He eyed the kage as he wiped the sand off of his white coat, he roared in anger and pulled out a kunai "I need to find my son and I don't care who ever tries to stop me" he leapt throwing the kunai towards the Kazekage.

Naruto mind was numb and his body was cool, not cold but cool, he felt radiant warmth in the air, the smell was horrible, nothing could compare in his mind, his muscles ached as he pulled his small body from the knee deep murky water.

Naruto opened his eyes slowly and reluctantly, he couldn't see any of his surroundings for a moment but his vision returned if only slightly, he saw large candles over the walls illuminating the room slightly there was dark grey walls surrounding him, and with rust near the edges of the dirty water, there was strange markings at the corners that he couldn't make out and he could see the faint blue chakra around the room, swirling and moving swiftly in the air, mixing with the red chakra coming off in a far away gate that Naruto couldn't make out in his current situation.

"Come closer . . .

Naruto looked around, wondering where the strange voice came from.

"Come closer child . . .

Naruto felt his legs move to the source of sound he could fairly make out, to him it sounded like a feminine voice.

"Yes right this way, closer . . .

Naruto looked at the dark golden gate with a single sheet of paper holding the two identical gate doors together, with strange symbols on the paper.

"Just a little bit more child . . .

The voice sounded heavenly, like a mother's voice, care and love in the voice. Naruto looked behind the gate to see a orange light nothing.

"W-whose there-

A large claw came out slashing and tearing off the front of the t-shirt, it didn't make contact with him thankfully; it only nicked the top of his right collarbone.

The source behind the gates roared in an unholy sound of anger and hate, an almost exact opposite of what he had heard before.

"Damn you, damn you to the darkest pits of hell, you and your cursed father" it roared again in a even more evil fashion.

Naruto was frozen in fear as he watched the claw return behind the gate and the orange hew turn into a dark red and two large silted eyes and large jagged teeth, very, very sharp teeth.

"W-who are you" he said in a shaken voice.

The thing behind the golden gate chuckled in amusement at the boy's confused state.

"You don't know do you kit" it chuckled at the look on the boys face; it saw the frozen stance and the scared look in the young boys face.

"Pathetic, leave me to this desolate place" the monster said to the young boy.

"B-But who are y-you" his curiosity peeked.

The fox behind the powerful gate bars snared at the boy "I said leave boy".

Naruto pulled in all the courage he could and stood his ground, a defiant look about him as he tried his best to stare the beast down.

"Who are you!" he shouted as the sound of his voice echoed in the barren sewer like place.

The eyes squinted slightly as it stared down at the boy, looking at the stubborn courage that the boy presented was . . . amusing.

"Ask your despicable father" he said with an animal growl with the mention of the only man that defeated him.

"What did you say about my-

Naruto was pulled back by an unseen force as the murky water rippled and rushed with the force and the walls grew darker and closed together with a loud metal thud.

The fox growled at himself for missing a chance at the boy, he remembered the look in the boy's eyes.

"Maybe, not as pathetic as I originally thought" he mused as the fox let his mind wonder to other, more important issues.

The surgeons worked with an especially effective manner, fixing any problem that seemed out of place, nothing out of the ordinary, just an orange colored complex looking seal on the stomach of a six-seven year old, or a small scar appear just above his collarbone in the middle of surgery.

Nothing strange or out of the ordinary at all.

The doctor looked over the charts and saw nothing that screamed at him like what happened during the surgery, Blood type: B, gender: male, obviously, nothing out of the ordinary.

The elderly doctor just felt like he should retire in cases like this and left for lunch.

"Bloody ninjas" he huffed as he left the sleeping blonde.

What he didn't notice was the red headed boy hidden underneath the hospitable bed; he went to his feet and stared at the boy closely with fear.

He reached out and touched his forearm; he poked it again, with a child like curiously about his face.

Whenever he touched another being, be that animal or human, a strange feeling would swell in his stomach, something that would eventually make him reject that person, make him feel like he would only get hurt if he tried to get to know that person, it frustrated him that he couldn't and wouldn't hug his siblings, or get a pat on the shoulder, nothing.

But when he was around this strange blonde boy, a calming sense reign over him, something strange told him to get to know this boy.

Temari opened the door, with a look of worry on her face "There you are Gaara" she said with a sigh of relief "We need to go to the Kazekage tower" she said looking at the strange boy again "Why are you here" she said with a relieved look.

Gaara smiled at Temari, which only made her more confused "No reason, why do we have to go" he asked strangely politely and softly "Some really, really powerful nuke-nin came around looking for something" he gave a confused look but agreed to leave with his sister, before one curious glance at the sleeping blonde who suddenly appeared in their estate.

"Why were you here anyway" Temari asked softly to her younger brother.

"No reason" he said with a smile planted firmly on his face as the two made their way to safety in the Kazekage's tower.

The Kazekage was defeated easily, but easy or not, he was a kage and that got Minato more than winded, by the time the two Kages were locked in a fierce hold, Minato and the Kazekage with dual kunais in each hand.

The fourth Kazekage took this opportunity to speak to the man.

"We do not have your child" he said, noticing the Suna ANBU approaching.

Minato saw the glint behind the veil that hid the man's face and felt the flush of high level chakra sources strategically surrounding him.

Minato was always level headed, always calm, mind clear and his body and muscles ready for any action and reaction, ready for any surprise, use his mind to calculate the best scenario and act on it, a pure shinobi in the sense.

But when his family came to the matter, when his precious ones were involved his mind ignored all his survival instincts to save another, a lesson not easily taught, even more so learnt.

The death of his wife was a hard one, one that he couldn't stop, which pained him even more, the feeling of uselessness was foreign to him, he loved her so much, he couldn't look out at sea without his feelings welling up.

His love for his son was only stronger after his wife passing, the personality and look of his mother in him made him so proud and sad at the sad time.

The fact that he was an orphan himself made him what to give as much as he could to his son; nothing is worse than being lonely, nothing.

He roared in anger, his mind came back to him.

He was surrounded.

Outnumbered.

Half his chakra was gone.

And more importantly, he still didn't know where Naruto was hidden.

He roared as he pushed the kage to the side and strategically and reluctantly retreated to his home.

A flash of gold in the barren sand filled wasteland, leaving the Kage to his wounds and ANBU returning to help.
