Chapter I

Surprise Attack!?

In the unsuspecting darkness of a vacant house sat a ninja whose existence was masked from the world. Little did anyone know the impact he would create, nor the horrid past he went through to accomplish this task. His name is quite unknown to people, though…

The ninja reached for his bag, swiftly bringing it up to his chest, where he then popped the button on the strap and opened the top. The bag was filled with all kinds of tools necessary for a long-term stealth mission, including a small, silver-plated lighter, which was taken out. The bag was closed back up and lightly tossed to the side.

"It's been over four years, but still nothing. How disappointing… Maybe my mission is going to be a failure after all…"

He lit the lighter, bringing it down to the tiny, half burnt wick of a candle, setting it alight. A beautiful sword and pocket-sized notebook came into view, along with the barren white walls of the small room.

A pen was taken out of his pocket, the notebook flipped open, words beginning to flood onto the pages.

October 10th. To think that all this time spent I've spent concealed in this horrible room… God, it makes me want to puke. This is more like a prison sentence than an actual mission. Just how could someone live a life like this? That Uchiha bastard… he has me trapped here for some larger move in the future, I shouldn't have listened to him in the first place. Oh well, he's too powerful for me to take by myself anyways. Those gleaming, red eyes, they just scare the hell out of me. Currently, nothing of note has really happened, though the day-old bread I ate was pretty bad… Signed, K.

With a tiny click, the notebook was closed and squeezed back into his pocket. Falling onto his back, the ninja sprawled out across the floor, looking left through a moonlit window. He missed the outside world in an immeasurable sense and would do anything to be released from his cage. As his eyes closed, he began thinking on how life was in the past.

"Hey you, come here? What's you're name… Whoa! You're an Uzumaki?! That's so cool! I don't like my name, so you can call me K, okay? Wanna go train sometime, I'm sure you're super strong… Isn't it funny, our names are super similar, but our bloodlines are sworn enemies… Hey wait, who's that? Wait, wait, wait, don't hurt me! Stop! Please! NO!

K awoke in a cold sweat, panting quite hard from the traumatic dream he just had. Laying with tears in his eyes, he swore under his breath and stood up, when suddenly, a monumental amount of demonic chakra had appeared in the area. While it was nowhere close, it was menacing enough to make the ninja lose his balance and cover his ears as if he were in pain.

Snatching up the sword and bag then breaking and jumping from the window into the street was the only thing K could do, as it was the routine that was drilled into his mind during the intensive training. The time had come to put an end to his imprisonment, an opportunity presented itself right before his eyes.

"It exists… It really exists! The demon that dwarfs all others around it, the Land of Fire's ultimate weapon: The Nine Tailed Fox!" K exclaimed in pure bloodlust and excitement, his eyes growing wide and his smile getting progressively larger.

He began laughing like he had never done before, beginning to tear up from the sheer number of emotions swirling within him. His face straightened out, his goal becoming clear to him.

"Today will be the last for this blemish of a village! Nine Tails, wait just a bit for me! Together we will destroy everything in our path!"

K ran for the Fox as if his life were on the line, jumping onto the rooves of houses to use as an easier way to get around without being seen. The Nine Tails was already on a rampage, setting fire to the ground around it and focusing its attacks solely on the village. K felt that something was off, though, as if there was a deeply rooted cause in this attack.

Suddenly, the air seemed to shift as a giant purple and black ball began to form in the Nine Tails' mouth. K stopped in his tracks, staring in awe at the incredible mass of chakra. "So, this is what a tailed beast bomb is… what incredible destructive power…"

The bomb was fired off, flying at incredible speeds, destroying nearly everything unfortunate enough to lie in its path. This was it. The village was going to be blown to bits by a single attack. The adrenaline began wearing off for K, as he finally realized that almost nothing could be done against this devil.

"Is this what he had in mind all along? I was just a useless pawn in a stupid attempt to gain power. How could I have let myself fall for such a thing…Stupid, stupid, stupid, STUPID!"

K was incredibly angry at the whole world. He hated shinobi for taking advantage and destroying his clan. He hated the normal people for being 'ignorant'. He even hated himself for being an outcast but couldn't bring himself to suicide solely due to the rage embedded deep into his soul.

He believed it was all over, watching the orb fly through the air, expecting decimation. Instead, it froze when reaching the cliff, eventually beginning to slowly slide itself into it. A few seconds later, it detonated far away from the village in an empty patch of forest, the explosion being so large that it was still clearly visible.

"Incredible… I'm still alive…" K was in awe. There was only one man that could make something as powerful as a Tailed Beast Bomb disappear, that being the Yellow Flash of the Leaf…

"Minato Namikaze. Just why did it take so long for you to appear? I have to kill you, after all!"

Thanks for reading the pilot chapter to my first story! I would greatly appreciate any constructive criticism that you may have, as this is my first time publishing to the public. Chapter will be uploaded whenever completed at first, but I eventually am going to adjust to two weekly chapters.
