Prologue
Third Hokage's POV
Today marked the tenth-year anniversary since the nine tailed beast attacked, nine years since the fourth Hokage died and nine years since his greatest failure. 'I wonder what became of that child, and what became of the nine tailed beast.'
Flashback
The earth shook as the beast roared; its tails trapped under the famous chains of the Uzumaki blood line. Kushina held him in place as Minato performed the hand seals of a forbidden technique, the reaper death seal. A barrier stopped me and the ANBU black ops from helping or trying to stop Minato, his eyes showed nothing but determination as the ghostly figure of the technique appeared and shoved its spectral arm through him. The hand gripped the beast by its neck and pulled grabbing its chakra and sealing it within Minato.
"Alright, next is the Eight Signed Seal." Minato said summoning a small sealing pedestal where he set the new born babe.
"Is that a child?" one of the ANBU whispered.
"Naruto," the name escaped my lip as we looked unable to do anything.
The beast seemed to know what was next as he lurched forward attempting to strike the child only to be stopped by both Kushina and Minato. One of the claws piercing both and stopping short of hitting Naruto. Minato summoned a frog and gave it the key to the seal he would likely use on Naruto and then it disappeared. The nine tailed beast appeared to be sucked into Naruto's belly. The barrier holding them back seemed to weaken as the creator fell to the ground his body lifeless. As the ANBU and myself approached a figure like a shadow of a man rose from the ground, grabbing hold of the crying child.
"Who are you?" I inquired preparing myself to fight for the life left behind by Minato and Kushina.
"No one really," a rough voice answered but the shape seemed to be staring intently at the child it was holding rocking him back and forth "but our mission here is done."
The ANBU lunged at the figure as it started to sink back into the floor taking Naruto with him, but they were all to slow to stop him. We stared frozen in place at the place in the ground where the figure had disappeared to. Startled by the coughing and groaning coming from one of the death parents we finally moved.
"Where's Naruto? Where is my son?" Kushina asked tears of pain and sadness flowing freely from her eyes.
The ANBU started the medical ninjutsu but stopped soon as they realized that there was no way of saving her. All I could do was hold her as she cried and sobbed blood slowly flowing through her mouth and her wounds as she slipped from this world.
End Flashback
A loud yell and sounds of explosions brought me back. The sound of fighting seemed to get louder as they got closer and then the door was blasted by a strong gust of wind. And the figure of a child stood Infront of him a short single bladed sword stained with blood aimed at him. The figure had a torn and bloodied traveling cloaked, its hood obscuring most of his attacker's face. His weaponless hand gripped tightly onto a bloodied ANBU's mask.
"You're next old man," a young child's voice said as his grip on the mask shattered it sending pieces of the porcelain all over the room.
"Who are you?" I inquired standing up preparing for a battle.
The assailant pulled his hood off revealing some spiky yellow blond hair, his eyes where obstructed from view with a white bandage but the glow of two red eyes could be seen and three whiskers on either side of his face. A gasp and a few tears escaped him as he stared, frozen in pure shock at the young kid Infront of him.
"Naruto?"
That's it for the prologue Hope it grabbed your attention and I'm sorry if its not all that great, I'm not a professional writer. Hope you enjoy and are looking forward to reading the rest of the story. Btw this will be a NarutoxIno story, I know it kind of doesn't make sense in the anime because they don't really spend a lot of time together in the anime, but it'll be different in the story and it'll make sense. Also, I like their pairing because I've read other Naruino stories so yeah.
