Chapter 12: Fighting off Sound and Sand

Sarutobi looked on in shock as he saw Minato, the Fourth Hokage, his successor standing before him, brought back to life by the "eternal life" crazed (and probable pedophile) Snake Sannin Orochimaru.

"How dare you defile the dead!" snapped Siren pointing a finger at the Snake who licked his lips with his freakishly long tongue.

"Who are the two with you Sarutobi?" asked Minato a confused expression crossing his face.

"Hi, sensei!" said Tobi waving his arms erratically.

"Who are you?"

"I'm hurt sensei! You can't even recognize one of your two surviving students!" cried Tobi placing a hand over his heart.

"Wait. If you're not Kakashi, then..." said Minato, realization hitting him like a ton of bricks.

"Took you long enough!" said Obito removing his mask to reveal his scarred face, "I survived the Kannabi Bridge mission thanks to Siren here."

"And I'm not the insane idiot I make myself out to be." said Siren removing his mask too, "I became sane again about a year ago."

"How is that going to help you?" hissed Orochimaru.

"Simple. I found one of these." said Siren pulling out a three-pronged kunai, "CATCH!"

Siren threw the kunai towards Orochimaru but "missed" by an inch and Orochimaru smirked as his hand closed in on placing the controlling seal on Minatio when suddenly, the man disappeared in his nick-namesake, a yellow flash, and Orochimaru felt a sharp pain enter his back as he coughed up blood before he staggered forward and he looked up to see Minato over by the other three.

"D**n! I missed his spine!" snarled Minato as he glared daggers at the pale man.

"Curses! No matter, I have a backup plan ready." said Orochimaru summoning two extra coffins. Two more figures walk out.

"You're really a creep, you know that?!" snapped Siren before he disappeared in black mist and reappeared next to Orochimaru and tried to kick the Sannin in the head but missed as the controlling seals were placed on the First and Second Hokages.

"Slag!" cursed Siren before he was met with a solid punch to jaw and he staggered back before he spit out a tooth and a wad of blood.

"Wood Style: Great Forest Emergence!" yelled the First Hokage creating a massive forest on top of the roof.

"Kumai-Explosive Landmines!" yelled Obito using his Mangekyou to create a vortex that threw out twenty paper bombs towards the enemy which struck the Second Hokage.

"Rasengan!" yelled Minato slamming the spinning blue orb of chakra into the back of the First.

The two get back and watch as the First and Second's bodies regenerate after such attacks.

"My turn! Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!" yelled Siren exhaling a massive green fireball that ignited both Hokages and half the forest surrounding them and once again, the Hokages regenerate.

"I hate Impure World Reincarnation!" yelled Siren pulling on his dreadlocks in frustration, "Fine! I'll use my eye's technique then. Everybody get back!"

Siren suddenly rushed forward and grabbed both the throat before activating his Shattered Eye.

"Shattered Eye Technique: Death's Insight!" yelled Siren as golden flames surrounded him. Suddenly the transparent form of the Grim Reaper (not Naruto version) and put its thumb sideways before giving a thumbs down and swinging its scythe, catching the two Hokages in the arc causing their souls to fly into the Reaper's hand before it disappeared and the First and Second fell apart revealing the Sound ninjas used as sacrifices. Siren suddenly clutched his eye and fell to his knees and Obito caught him before he hit the ground.

"I've used that move too much over the years." muttered Siren clutching his eye.

Orochimaru was shell-shocked and his tongue hit the roof before he regained himself.

"You dare interfere with my plans?! You both die here and now!" snapped the Sannin regurgitating his sword before he charged forward with it.

"Amaterasu!" said Obito glaring at the Sannin.

"AAAAGGGGHHHHH!" screamed Orochimaru caught in the black flames before he removed his shirt, his upper body now badly burnt.

"You'll pay! You'll all pay! Once I have Sasuke-kun's body, you will all pay! And here's a little going away present." hissed the snake before he retreated.

Suddenly the tiles behind Sarutobi sprang up with spikes jutting out of them and impaled the Third through the heart. The barrier blocking their escape then went away and they couldn't save Sarutobi.


3 Days Later after Sarutobi's funeral; Council Chambers

Minato, despite being a reanimated corpse(1), took back his position of Fourth Hokage until a replacement was found and he sighed heavily at the Civilians' side constant yelling.

"Hokage-sama, we demand you put an end to the Demon Brat!" snapped a civilian and Minato's head shot up in an instant.

"What did you say?" asked Minato glaring at the civilian and spoke in a dangerously calm voice.

"Naruto Uzumaki, the demon brat, must be executed. He's too dangerous to have in the-"

"ENOUGH!" shouted Minato slamming his fist into the table along with one of his three-pronged kunai, shocking the Civilian side.

"If you dare call my son a demon again, I'll have you executed!"

"S-son? Y-you mean the de- Uzumaki brat is YOUR SON?!" said another civilian.

"Yes, I sealed the Nine-Tails into him because I wouldn't ask another family to give up one of their own if I couldn't myself. I wanted Naruto to be seen as a hero for keeping the Nine-Tails at bay, but what do I find out when I'm brought back by Impure World Reincarnation? He's treated as the demon itself, not the jailor! Every councilman in this room has shunned and abused my legacy. I can't believe you people, trying to kill an innocent baby who couldn't even defend himself?! If you're wondering how I know this, it's because I was able to watch it all happen from inside the belly of the Shinigami after I gave up my soul after sealing the Nine-Tails inside Naruto. I am appalled that this village would stoop so low! If anyone lays on hand on Naruto with intent to harm, they will now be executed!" said Minato.

"WHAT?! You can't do that!" roared a civilian.

"I CAN AND I WILL! I'M THE F**ING HOKAGE D**N IT!" yelled Minato and all the Shinobi Clan Heads nodded their approval.

"Minato, you can't honestly believe your son is...normal?" said Danzo calmly from across the table.

"You're referring to his fur, ears, and tails right?"

"Yes."

"I know he's not being controlled OR influenced by the Kyuubi. I can tell it with his eyes. His eyes are that of a twelve-year-old kid, not a demon. His actions show me he is himself and if that's not enough proof then I'll tell you what is. The Eight-Trigrams seal I put him has multiple fail-safes incase the Nine-Tails were to...try to escape and I don't believe that will happen. Now then, unless we have something that does NOT involve my son to discuss, this meeting is adjourned." said Minato before he disappeared in yellow flash and reappeared in front of Naruto's apartment.

'Sarutobi tried his best to make Naruto's life at least fairly comfortable and protected him as much as he could, for that I'm grateful but I wish he had done a bit more.' thought Minato walking up to his son's apartment's door. He sighed once again and knocked on the door that had red paint on it that read, "Demon!". The sound of scuffling feet reached Minato's ears and soon the door opened and he was looking down at a somewhat mini-version of himself, if you got rid of the tails, ears and fur and possibly the whisker marks but those seem to make him cuter.

Naruto looks on in shock as the Fourth Hokage, his idol, is standing before him, in front of his apartment.

"Uh...can I come in Naruto?" asks Minato snapping Naruto out of his stupor.

"Yeah, yeah...come in." said Naruto moving aside and Minato walks in and looks around.

'A bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchen...kind of small...' thought Minato sitting down at the table Naruto looking on in shock.

"So Naruto...do you know who your parents are?" asked Minato and Naruto's head drooped in sorrow.

"No..." is Naruto's grief riddled reply.

"What would you say if you were related to a Hokage?"

"I'd be overjoyed. Why do you ask that-" said Naruto before he saw the smirk on Minato's face and an ear-splitting grin forms on Naruto's face as he realizes what the Fourth is implying.

"I'M THE SON OF THE FOURTH HOKAGE!" yelled Naruto at the top of his lungs, loud enough for the echo to be heard for three miles in every direction and causing a certain pervert...er, super pervert to be discovered peeping and then he gets trashed by the angry women.


END CHAPTER

Hope you enjoyed this little diversion from the original plotline, but I found this a bit enjoyable. Need help with the Tsunade Retrieval Arc. Yes Naruto and Sasuke fought Gaara, I left that out because it wasn't much different than in the Anime. Minato remains around for a bit after this and I think the Civilian side of the Council are a bunch of brainless dolts, except those who don't see Naruto as the Nine-Tails.

Ideas and Suggestions welcomed.
