Author Notes:
Hey there again, sorry this chapter took a while I've got the plot and such.. but I think I rushed the last chapters.. well I think I really did rush them.. the whole thing was probably rushed, I mean Naruto didn't even mourn about Jiraiya's death and such that much.. and the Akatsuki which are all-powerful and such got taken out too quickly I think, don't you think I'm right?
Should I re-do earlier chapters? I also changed the name of the story and.. Im not good in fighting scenes so..
I really don't know, im also very busy these days. Chapters are probably going to take a while to come out.
I'm going to re-do the earlier chapters.. just to make sure they'll be okay, it'll be the same info and plot.. just making some fights longer and more specified.
But I promise you, next chapter will be out in no less than 2 weeks, maybe even lesser!!
Well.. I hope..
Oh yeah, the reviews mean a lot.
Thanks!

Chapter 4: Hero's Beginning
Metal swung hard against the large, rocky boulders, resulting in a large 'Clang!'. Water trickled off the moist canyon walls as two specks of figures walked into the area. Lakes vibrated with delicacy as hollow foot steps were heard entering through the large, metal gates.
"Woah.." said a certain blonde shinobi as he gazed at the cliff-sides in awe. 'I can't believe all that's happened today.. and this place is just amazing..'
"Amazing.. isn't it?.. Now MOVE! Gaki!" sternly responded a old creatures, into closer inspection, you would find an old-toad, a very important old toad..
"So.. Ero-sennin used to train here?" asked dumbly Naruto back as he continued to stare into the vast land in awe.
'He still calls him a perverted sennin even AFTER his death?' sadly chuckled the Elder Toad as he thought quietly to himself. 'This kid surely is stubborn..'
"Ey!! Ga..Ero-Toad! Answer my question and stop staring at your wife like a pervert!" happily shouted Naruto while smirking as the Elder-Toad shook himself to his senses. 'Haha, he's done for!' cheekily thought Naruto.
Looking up, he saw the familiar face of the Great Toad Sage, the greatest toad to ever grace the planet. He had so much wisdom, was respected world-wide and had many myths and tales about him throughout the world.
Next to the Great Toad Sage however, was a very pissed-off looking female toad.. his wife.
"You idiot! Stop staring at me or I'll have to sign divorce papers!!" angrily shouted the female toad.
"I'm so sorry! I just zoned out and my eyes ending up looking at you, hun!" clumsily shouted the Elder-Toad as he stumbled back helplessly while his wife took menacing steps towards him.
As the Elder-Toad seemed to stumble out of the gate with his wife following dangerously after him, the Great Toad Sage addressed Naruto.
"Ah, so you are the Uzumaki we've been hearing a lot about.." casually said the Toad Sage as he broke Naruto out of his daze.
Blinking, Naruto responded "You've been hearing about me? Cool, from who though? Ero-sennin?"
"..Umm..Pardon me?" said the Toad Sage as he subconsciously looked down at Naruto.
"I asked if you had been hearing about me; well more like stating it and who has been talking about me but anyw-"
"Sorry.. I didn't quite catch that.. mind repeating yourself young child?" apologetically spoke the Toad Sage as Naruto felt the rage boiling up inside of him.
"Alright Mister! I don't care who you are! I don't care if you're the most important toad in the entire world! I don't care if you'll give me a life supply of ramen! But concentrate to what I say and listen!!" shouted Naruto as he was still very annoyed.
"Oh.. Ok.. umm.. Where was I? Oh yes.. you're Naruto, well.. nice to meet you.. I think I should start telling you about what your going to do here.. Alright? Now grab my leg." Once again Naruto looked at the Toad Sage blankly and confused.
"Umm, if you say so." Replied Naruto as he grabbed onto the Toad's leg.
Naruto stared up at the Toad Sage as he felt the air around him change, he felt them teleporting to another area and looked around to see if his suspicious were correct.
As he got off the Toad's leg he saw a fairly small house in front of him, it had a gate though, so it must've been of some importance.
"Uh, Toad Sage?" Paused Naruto as he waited for the Toad's attention, then continued. "Where are we?" he questioned.
"Ahh.. we are at your father's library, he kept all his scrolls in here, techniques, journals, whatever he had in his time here was all kept in here, he also slept here." Proudly stated the Toad Sage as he looked down at Naruto, who was utterly confused.
"E-Ero-sennin.. w-was my f-father?!" he mumbled trying to stay conscious.
He heard chuckling, more chuckling, then full-blown laughter .. old full-blown laughter.. then he heard some coughing.. then some choking..
Looking up, he saw the Toad Sage looking furiously embarrassed and Naruto realised that he was laughing at him.
"Why are you laughing at me?!" he shouted, demanding a response.
"Because, young Jiraiya wasn't your father.. your father was.." the Toad Sage momentarily stopped as he began coughing again.
Recovering, he was about to start but then began coughing AGAIN.
'This old geezer is a joke.. he can't be the most important toad in this world.. he's a freak, wait.. eww! He coughed out slime! Oh my god! Where's Gama-Toad!! I need to get away!' he thought as he grabbed his hair with his hands and darted his eyes around the landscape beginning to panic.
Stopping, he remembered they had teleported, and now began to take in what the area looked like, it was in the middle of a beautiful forest, a few minutes away from the Toad Mountain, leaf's scattered the floor, reminding him off shrivelled dreams.
'Hokage.. Konoha.. Baa-chan.. Sasuke.. Sakura..'
The Toad Sage could see he was reliving some sorrowful memories, so he decided to snap him out of his daze.
"Anyways.. your father was.. a legendary man, he was powerful, wise, and a kind-hearted and loving man, with a determination that measures yours.."
"Just get to the point please.." he chimed in and pouted.
"Minato Namikaze, Yondaime, Yellow Flash, Fourth Hokage.. you know him?" questioned the Toad Sage.
'Why's he bringing up the fourth? I mean.. sure he's my hero and stuff.. I don't blame him for the Kyuubi.. it had to be done.. but were talking about my father.. why bring him up.. unless.. no, it can't be..' he thought to himself as he composed himself again.
"Yes.. I do.. and why do you mention him?" questioned Naruto as he looked up at the Toad Sage, studying his expression with a lot of concentration, Naruto was surprised to find that the Toad was very serious and he knew this would change his life.
The Toad put his hands into a Tiger seal, concentrating chakra to his fingers, a 'poof' emanated from them, it was a scroll, placing it infront of Naruto, he instructed him to put his hand on it. As Naruto put his hand on it, he stared blankly up at the Toad Sage.
The Toad Sage, quickly charging chakra from his finger tips, unleashed it towards the scroll.
Naruto too shocked to move, watched as the chakra touched the scroll, it started to grow white, then as if he was being pulled away from existence itself, he felt lightning course throughout his body, everything became blurry, and soon he blacked out.. with only one last thing heard.
"He was your .. father."
Memories whizzed around Naruto's head, it was as if a gate had been unlocked, a gate of his memories at birth.. he remembered being held by a beautiful red-haired woman, with entrancing purple eyes, she had a happy smile on, but her face was tear-stained.. he remembered her standing next to a young man, he had long blonde hair that wildly scattered around his head, wore an ear-to-ear grin, and had deep blue eyes matching his own, but you could see he had a sad expression behind it all.. Naruto wondered.. why?
- - - - Flashback - - - -
"Minato, you don't have to do this! Seal it into me! Or someone else! Please!" helplessly shouted a tired Kushina as she tried too lift herself of the hospital bed.
"Sorry Kushina-chan, you know how much this hurts me too, but I just cannot seal it into another adult, their chakra coils have already formed, they cannot take in the new foreign chakra, so it has to be a new-born, and I can't place this burden on any other person's child, I must do it to Naruto.." he paused, as he looked at the crying bundle in his arms, letting a few tears drop onto his new-born body.
"I just wish for you to be a hero.. For keeping this demon fox at bay.. but I know these villagers won't view you as a hero.. I'm so sorry Naruto.. please forgive me.."
Jiraiya stepped out of the shadows, giving looks of sympathy to both parents, before tending to wipe of his own tears, this was his godson, after all.
"Minato.. I'll be right behind you.." he said as he watched the Kyuubi attacking the village from the window.
"No sensei.. I need you to stay here.. watch Naruto grow up.. teach him.. please.. for me." Sorrowfully responded Naruto as he looked at Jiraiya.
Upon seeing those determined cerulean orbs, Jiraiya resigned to defeat.. he knew when Minato had his mind set on something, nothing could change it.
"Me and Kushina shall stop it, She only has a bit of chakra left and isn't in a very good condition, so she'll come with me, fro-" Minato was cut off by Jiraiya, who burst into complaints.
"Kushina?! Why is she fighting the Kyuubi? You know she's low on chakra! She can't do anything! And we'll need her to watch over Naruto when he grows up!" shouted Jiraiya as he trying to change Minato's mind.
"Jiraiya-sama.. I can't watch over Naruto.. the birth took a lot out of me.. and either way I'll die in the next few days.. the last thing I can do.. is help seal the Kyuubi into Naruto.. hopefully giving him immense power in the future.." she sadly whispered.
"Hai Jiraiya-sensei, I will need a sacrifice for the sealing of half of Kyuubi's chakra into Naruto." He explained.
"But what about the other half?" carefully nodding, responded Jiraiya.
"I'll seal it into a scroll, the scroll will contain the seals on how I sealed the Kyuubi, and will also contain a key.. this key shall be of great importance Jiraiya.. it will allow him the other half of the Kyuubi's chakra, this will help balance them both out, and make it neutral, from then on Naruto shouldn't have any problems summoning the Kyuubi's chakra and changing forth and back between his own and the Kyuubi's.. I'll send this key to you after the sealing, we must go now.." He walked up to Kushina's bed, helping her to get to her feet, they took slow steps towards the window, as they both put their feet onto it, they slowly darted their eyes from the bundle in Minato's hands to Jiraiya.
"I expect you to protect this village even after my death Jiraiya-sensei.. please don't lose faith.. and tell Kakashi I'm proud of him.." Wearing a sad smile, with new-found tears dribbling their way down his cheeks, Minato and Kushina jumped off towards the Kyuubi.
45 minutes later..
Minato limped slowly towards his destination.. he walked up the stairs.. and looked into the small crater that was formed when he sealed the Kyuubi..
There lay his son.. Uzumaki Naruto. He had gotten his mother's name, because his dad had many enemies, and if they knew he had a son, they would surely come after him.
Kushina had died about 10 minutes ago.. when they finally managed to distract the Kyuubi enough to seal it, and now the Shinigami was slowly taking away his own soul, it had to deal with Kyuubi's large soul first, I mean, millions of years of life, obviously that would take quite a while to seal.
As he approached the new-born Naruto, he saw the seal on his stomach, glowing furiously.
Minato chuckled sadly, the Kyuubi was probably going mad, the greatest bijuu ever to live was sealed inside a new-born.. that would've been hilarious if it wasn't his son and he wasn't in this situation.
He slowly sat down next to his son, tracing the seals lines with his fingers, he had sent the scroll and key to Jiraiya a few minutes ago, and now he could feel his life force being pulled away from him as the Shinigami was slowly eating his soul.
Minato knew he didn't have as much time left, quickly standing up, taking one look at his son, he smiled, a genuine smill.
Taking out a unique, yellow, triple-seal pronged kunai, he threw it up into the night sky.
Forming his hands into a Tiger seal, he whispered..
"I'll always be there for you Naruto.. I'll see you soon.."
- - - - End Flashback - - - -
As his surroundings starting to become clear to him again, he realised he wasn't in the same place he was before.
Pulling the blonde hair away from interfering with his eyesight, he inspected his surroundings.
'When did I get here?.. Last thing I remember was the Toad Sage giving me a scroll and-'
Then it hit him, like a avalanche into his mindscape, he began to lose consciousness, all those memories from that flashback invaded his mind, a major headache took place.
Stumbling onto the floor, he tried to regain control, trying to piece his mind back together.
A few moments later, his mind settled down, as he lay back down in the bed, he again inspected the small room he was in, there was a gigantic bookshelf on one side, it seemed to have scrolls of all types, books, journals, everything.
Looking to the other side, he saw a door leading to another room, he slowly walked towards the door, opening it, he saw a kitchen.. a very nice kitchen indeed.
Walking further into it, he opened one of the closest cupboards, upon inspection, you could see his face brighten up and him grin from ear-to-ear.
"Miso Ramen!" Naruto happily shouted to himself as he closed the cupboards and made his way back to the main room.
On the other side, there was another door, but a window next to it, and through the window he could see a training area, a huge courtyard built for immense training.
Smiling, Naruto made his way to the other door, opening it slightly, he saw it was dark.. as he turned the lights on, he noticed it was a fairly small room with a chair and a desk in it.
The desk had several photo's placed onto it, Naruto walked up to it and noticed they were pictures of his mum and dad.
Smiling sadly, he noticed there was a black book sitting in the middle of the desk, he saw in gold writing it wrote;
'Minato Namikaze – My Personal Journal'
Settling down onto the chair, Naruto opened the first page, interested to see what his father had written into his personal journal.
As he read the first line, he couldn't help but think it was the same for him.
'This is only the beginning.. a Hero's beginning.'
