Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto…
"Take this!" Kyubi yelled slicing the air with its claws. Then she blew out fire from her mouth. Combining both attacks she yelled out "Fire Blades!"
"Gamabunta," shouted the Hokage as the huge blades of fire cut through a mountain reducing it to a small hill.
"Boss what should I do?" asked Gamabunta as the attack barreled its way to the both of them.
We wait, stated the Hokage.
"But Boss that blast is getting closer by the second! We have to do something!"
"We will but if we move now that blast will hit the village. I can't risk anymore lives that I already have."
"Right, Boss!"
"Get ready, when I say now I want you to hit the blast with your water cannon."
Alright Boss but you better hurry. That blast is almost on us."
"Hmm," responded the Hokage, bringing his hands up in several seals, while Gamabunta took a deep breath in and held it in his chest.
"Get ready Gamabunta, NOW!"
Gamabunta released his breath shooting a gigantic water cannon ball, while the Hokage yelled out, "Forbidden Mist Technique: Water Wall!" A huge wall of mist formed over the village first, and then the mist converted to an enormous wall of water covering Konoha's entrance like a shield. Gamabunta's blast hit Kyubi's blast halting its progress and slowing it down. Then he jumped over Kyubi landing on a ledge behind the fox. The fox's blast having been weakened by Gamabunta's blast hit the wall of water and disintegrated into nothing. The Hokage looked at Kyubi from his place sadly.
Gamabunta hopped to the right barely dodging Kyubi. The fox turned around and charged again.
Seeing this Gamabunta charged at the fox. At the last minute, Gamabunta leaped onto the fox's head. Using it as leverage, he swung his sword cutting the Kyubi on her side stunning it for a few moments. Then he gathered some chakra into his legs and hopped off sending the Kyubi flying through the air. The fox barreled into Konoha smashing the buildings to bits. Meanwhile Gamabunta has begun to slow down. The giant toad was slowly tiring out as the Kyubi swung its mighty tails around batting Gamabunta's Water Cannon away like nothing.
'Is it me or is she getting stronger?' thought Gamabunta as he lifted its heavy body back up. He took a glance at the fox's neck to find the strange tattoo, glowing an eerie blood red.
'Oh shit a curse seal is giving her more power! If I don't hurry we'll be in deep trouble!'
"Arashi! Hurry up I can't hold her back much longer!"
Gamabunta rushed at the Kyubi with all of his remaining strength slashing the Kyubi's left eye as the Kyubi slashed her claws at Gamabunta's right eye. The clash of the titans was soon to end as Osaka arrived on top of Sari once more.
"Nice of you to join us!" spoke Arashi who was perched on a ledge.
"Yeah well it took longer than expected." Answered Osaka
"How many?"
Two boys, one looks exactly like Okari, the other looks like a mix of both Okari and I."
"I guess congratulations are in order."
"Yeah, what are we going to do about fuzzy over there," stated Osaka pointing to where Gamabunta was fighting the fox.
"I'm going to talk to that fox!"
"You mean negotiate," responded Osaka
"Yeah!"
"I swear sometimes I wonder just how they made you Hokage," laughed Osaka.
"Well it was either me, that snake freak or you. They sure as hell weren't going to let Orochimaru win and you refused lazy ass!"
"Hah, what do say, we catch us a fox!?"
"HELL YEAH!!" both blondes screamed. Arashi signaled Gamabunta just as the mighty toad boss dodged a fire ball.
Gamabunta seeing the fourth standing on the ledge, immediately hopped toward him. Kyubi followed him launching a huge fireball at the toad.
Gamabunta dodged it by sliding his body to the ground, colliding with Konoha's front gate roughly. The fireball whooshed by hitting the administration building.
"Geeze, that could've been me ya stupid fox!!"
"ROAR!!!" Gamabunta started to slowly stand up and began to hop once more toward the Fourth evading Kyubi at every possible turn. Finally he reached Arashi and bowed low so the Fourth could jump on his head. Arashi stood up his eyes flashing with determination and spoke
"Let's go Gamabunta we've got a fox catch."
Gamabunta just smirked and began to hop up toward the giant demon fox. Osaka nodded and together the two blondes went head to head with Kyubi. Dodging the fire attacks both blondes soon stood face to face with the giant colossus.
Standing to his full height, Arashi stared into the crazed demon fox's eyes.
"Why are you attacking us Kyubi!? I thought Red Dawn was on good terms with Konoha?"
"KILL"
Arashi and Osaka sighed sadly.
"She's too far gone by the curse seal," stated Osaka as he pointed to a seal that resembled a blood moon which was spilling evil red chakra into the Kyubi turning her once happy sapphire like eyes into the bloody red they were glaring at.
"I've seen that seal before, it's been placed on the newly kidnapped organization's members. It warps their minds to do Red Dawn's evil biddings. Almost all of Red Dawn has that seal placed on them even Okari. It's an ancient demonic seal found by Hidden Red Dawn's leader."
Arashi sighed sadly: What can we do Osaka?"
"I have no clue Arashi, I don't know a counter to that seal, no one does."
"I Can't just let her destroy Konoha Osaka!"
"I know Arashi I know."
Arashi sighed once more.
"We could do that…"
"Arashi! NO! You promised Sonya You wouldn't…"
"What am I supposed to do? I'm the Hokage! I have to save Konoha. I have to stop Kyubi by any means necessary even it costs me my life!"
"But your wife and child! What about them!?"
"If I don't stop Kyubi…"
"Osaka I have to seal Kyubi away for good. I have to use that forbidden jutsu your clan made."
"We,"
"What!"
"We have to seal the Kyubi."
"Osaka no it's my duty!"
"With the curse seal, she'll have too much power. We have to seal her into two vessels and distribute her chakra evenly between the two."
"Two… gods one was enough but for two to share this cruel fate…"
"My children are strong… they'll…"
"YOUR CHILDREN! Osaka…"
"Yes, you know we have to seal it in two newborns. My children and your child are the only newborns and we need two plus they carry Okari's bloodline. They are the only ones."
Arashi stared speechless. His best friend had always been selfless. It was the reason why he was first candidate for Hokage. But now he was not only sacrificing his life but that of his children. They knew the fate of jinchuurikis, he wouldn't wish that on his worse enemy…but there was no other way.
"Osaka go and get them…I understand."
Osaka nodded jumping off Sari and flashing away from sight. Arashi smiled sadly. He had taught Osaka his own made jutsus but Osaka refused to use them saying they were his. Now in his time of need Osaka held no such inhibitions.
Arriving at the hospital, Osaka made towards his wife's room. Spotting her asleep with the twins, he smiled as a teardrop fell from his eye. Bending down, he picked up his children, one in each arm.
After kissing Okari one last time, he left whispering to the wind: Forgive me Okari.
A few moments he stood back on Sari once again.
Arashi looked toward his friend's…No his brother's arms and smile.
"They really look like you."
"Yes and hopefully yours will too."
"Mine…I won't ever get to know."
Placing a hand on his friend Osaka sighed.
"We have to do this Arashi."
"I know," sighed the Fourth
Kyubi roared as Arashi began his seals. By his side stood Osaka with his eyes shut flashing through his own set of seals. Opening his eyes he glared angrily at the Kyubi. His once sapphire blue eyes were now showing his clans Shinigami eyes final form.
'It wasn't supposed to be this way, thought the Fourth as he began to finish his seals 'and it's all thanks to Red Dawn!'
Finishing his seals first, Arashi faced the demon fox. Launching into the air, he made his famous Rasengan and drilled through the fox's side. Closing his eyes as his jutsu began to rip the fox's soul out and into his awaiting hands.
He watched as a ball of red formed in his hands. It still had some ripples of white swirling around its interior, proof that Kyubi could still be saved.
'It's not her fault,' thought the Fourth as he stared at the Kyubi's soul. 'She wouldn't harm us like this. It wasn't supposed to be like this and it's all thanks to Red Dawn! Those bastards will pay for this someday,' he thought as the rest of Kyubi's soul floated to his hands. Below him the body of Kyubi gave one final roar before disinagrating into dust. The Fourth gave a sigh as the effects of the jutsu began to take effect. His soul for Kyubi's soul. Osaka rushed toward his weakened friend. Above him the sky began to turn a strange violet color. A large hole was tearing through the middle of the sky. A blinding light shone down from the rip in the ski blinding them for a few seconds. When the light dissipated Osaka and Arashi gasped in awe as the Shinigami stood floating before them.
What stood before them looked much like an angel. A woman stood before them. She had beautiful long silver and amazing golden eyes that showed the Shinigami blood limit. She wore a silver robe not unlike a Shinigami's except that hers was threaded with golden threads that made a large pentagram on the back. It resembled the ying yang in a twisted sort of way. She possessed two pairs of wings one set was as pure as fresh fallen snow, the other darker than the night. Both men just stared wide eyed at the supposed Shinigami.
"Who summoned me?" she asked in a musical voice.
Osaka stepped up, helping his dieing friend up to lean against him.
"We did," whispered Arashi as his life resumed to leave him. We were expecting two Shinigamis though."
A laugh that resembles bells was heard.
"I am no mere Shinigami," the deity spoke.
"I am the goddess of eternal balance and wife of death. I control my husband's Shinigami"
Arashi coughed as he crumpled to the ground. Blood dribbled from his lips down his chin. Osaka gasped as his friend fell to the ground as his strength kept leaving him. Kneeling down Osaka faced his weakening friend.
"Arashi…"
"Osaka…hurry…up. I…can't…hold out…much…longer."
Osaka nodded and stood to face the deity in front of them.
Taking pity the deity spoke: "In these circumstances I was summoned instead of my Husband. There is a great evil that you know nothing of. Your children will have to face this evil. If I seal Kyubi into Osaka's children, their fates, including your son Arashi will be sealed."
Arashi coughed up more blood before looking at Osaka. In his eyes Osaka saw the grim determination shining through.
Sighing he answered: "Do we have a choice…" he chuckled as his friend grinned determinedly.
"What is your decision?"
"We accept," they both said in a strong clear voice.
"Very well what would you of me to do?" answered the deity.
"I need you to seal the Kyubi's soul into my children," Osaka said sadly.
"That is a great burden to bear. For your sacrifice you shall be spared of living in my husband's stomach and live in heaven," she stated as she opened another time rift as a shadowy figure floated through. She motioned for the Shinigami to collect Kyubi's soul. Floating by, it grabbed the large swirling mass from Arashi's hands sucking away his soul in the process. Osaka watched as his best friend succumbed to death knowing that he would soon follow.
"Who shall bear the demon?" asked the deity.
"The oldest one, he seems the strongest," replied a weary Osaka as his soul began to drain into the awaiting Shinigami. The woman shook her head sadly.
"Looks can be deceiving," she whispered softly as the Shinigami sealed Kyubi and five tails of it's power away into the baby with emerald eyes and four tails into it's twin.
As soon as her job was done, the deity turned to the youngest twin.
"What shall be their names," she asked as she began to dissipate.
"Nex, and…Naruto," whispered Osaka as he fell to the ground blood slowly trickling out of his eyes ears and nose. Coughing one last time Osaka too succumbed to death uttering his last words.
"Be strong my children…"
Smiling the deity spoke softly.
"Thus two heroes fall only for three to arise in their place and begot the world's ending." Bending down she blew on the youngest child.
"You will have a hard life young one, you must hold on to fate and live."
Two small bracelets appeared on the sleeping babies' wrist. With that the deity and Shinigami left. The rifts that swallowed the sky began to close till not a blemish was left in the sky. It began to rain down upon a sorrowful Konoha. Down by the cliff two brave men laid forever asleep.
A young male scurried up the cliff's side, his uncanny blue hair and orange eyes the only part of him visible. Everything else was covered by a long black cloak embroidered with the sign of chaos. His job was simple capture one baby and injects two syringes full of their progress into the other's twin. Someone else would stay to monitor the other baby. He climbed the rest of the way flipping soundlessly onto the cliff's surface. Walking past Arashi and Osaka's bodies he smirked.
'Those two nuisances are finally dead. Won't the boss be overjoyed,' He thought as he neared the two sleeping babies. Walking up he noticed the identical seals on the infants.
'Damn! I wasn't expecting this! Who in hell do I give the blood to?'
"Damn!"
Sighing, the young male inspected both twins. He smirked when he found one anomaly that could help him distinguish between the two. One was a girl
A young male with spiked red hair raced toward the cliff's end. He seemed no older than twelve. Beside him ran his teammates Haruno Chase and Amaya Shinigami younger sister to Osaka. Behind them trailed two others. One had spiky gray hair and one eye covered. The other was a girl with black hair two strange triangle like marks on her cheeks. All of them were racing to get to their sensei. They had seen the rifts in the sky as they fought alongside each other against the mighty Kyubi. Picking up his speed the young male flew past his comrades toward the edge of the cliff. Squinting, his eyes he could make a shadow by the cliff wall.
"Hey Chase do you see that!" he yelled.
"Yeah it looks like a person!"
"Could it be sensei?" asked Amaya.
"No, the shadow's too short for it to be your brother," responded the gray haired boy.
"Way to kill her hope Kakashi!"
"I'm just stating the obvious Omasaki."
"Yeah right, you're just as worried as we are!"
"Omasaki enough! This is serious!"
"I am serious!" yelled a miffed Omasaki as he sped up racing past everyone.
"Ugh Chase! You know he's not being himself! Leave him alone!" reprimanded Amaya.
"Yeah! Out of all of us he was the closest to both our senseis!" stated the black haired girl.
"Rin I'm simply stating that he needs to calm down. What if both our senseis are dead," stated Chase.
Immediately Amaya let out a small cry and raced after her teammate. Sometimes her crush could be such a jackass.
Omasaki sped up hoping against all hope his sensei was alive. Ever since the academy when his clan denied him being heir and quite literally threw him on the streets, his sensei came and rescued him giving him a home.
'Please be alive sensei,' he thought as Amaya caught up to him wishing the same.
