"Where am I?" asked a black haired girl, around the age of thirteen. She looked around and noticed that the entire land scape is much different. "Haha! I knew Hashirama couldn't finish me off!" declared the black haired girl. However, she soon realized that she was naked.
"I need to get some clothing." said the girl as she performed a shunshin and proceeded to the nearest town. Due to it being night time, she was able to use the shadows and cover her body. The girl found herself a dark, purple robe with a white belt that kept it together. Her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan was activated.
"Time to call out my dear friend." the girl said as she went through a series of hand seals. "Summoning Jutsu!" the girl declared but instead of summong the legendary Kyuubi no Kitsune, she was transported to an unknown location. "Huh? Where am I?" asked the girl.
"Haha! I never thought I'd see the day... Long time no see, Madara." said the voice of the nine tailed fox.
"Kurama? Why the hell are you locked up in a cage?" asked the girl, now identified as Madara Uchiha.
"It seems your dear village's Fourth Hokage sealed me away inside of a baby, five years ago." said Kurama
"Fourth Hokage? What do you mean? Hashirama was the first, and then his brother was the second. How did Konoha go through two more hokage?" asked Madara with a raised eyebrow.
"Hm... Now, why would I tell you. Telling you could put my Jinchuriki at risk. Why do you value such information?" asked Kurama
Madara pinched the bridge of her nose in frustraition. "Kurama! If you don't tell me what's going on, I'll transfer your soul to the spirit of a three year old little girl!" Madara shouted.
"That doesn't sound so bad. My host is a joke as it is. He's ignorant of what he possesses." Kurama declared.
"What are you talking about? Doesn't Mito know that you've been sealed away inside of her?" asked Madara as she crossed her arms.
"Haha, you're behind on the times. Mito died years ago and I was placed inside her grand daughter. Soon, the grand daughter of Mito was killed, by yours truly and so I was placed inside her son." Kurama said.
"What? That doesn't make any sense!" Madara shouted.
"Here is the memory of that night. The night I became part of this damn weakling." The giant orange fox muttered as Madara viewed the memory of the night that Konoha suffered the attack from him.
Flash Back
"Alright, I realize what you've just been through. But we need to reseal the nine tails." said Minato Namikaze, Konoha's Fourth Hokage. As he placed his hands on his wife, Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze's seal, the two doctors, including Biwaki Sarutobi dropped dead.
Standing before Minato, a man in an orange mask with a single hole that revealed a single sharingan eye was holding a blond infant. Minato gazed at the man. "How the hell did he get passed my anbu and into this location?" Minato asked himself.
"Fourth Hokage, Minato. Step away from the Jinchuriki, or else this child will die in his first minute." said the masked man in a dark tone with a kunai to the blond infant.
Minato stuck his arm out. "Wait, just please stay calm!" Minato shouted as he feared for his newborn son's life.
"Speak for yourself. I'm as calm as I can be, Minato." the masked man said as he threw the baby into the air.
"Naruto!" Minato shouted as he performed the Flying Thunder God and warped to his son safely. However, the masked man vanished in a swirl with Kushina. The hokage quickly noticed the exploding tag on his son's blanket and quickly removed it, along with flashing away.
The yellow flash appeared in his home as he laid NAruto down in his cribe. "Thank goodness, you're okay. Daddy will be back, I promise." Minato said.
Kushina was currently being held up by a series of seals as the masked man stood before her. "Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment?" asked the masked man as he glared through his single eye. "I'm going to extract the nine tailed fox from you and crush the village hidden in the leaves." the masked man said in a stern tone.
Kushina glared at him in shock. "No! You can't!" Kushina shouted.
Gazing at the crimson haired woman, the masked man tore the chakra through the seal on Kushina's stomach. The crimson chakra flowed into the man's hand and vanished. Once the nine tailed fox was gone, Kushina used all her strength to call out to the man.
He turned and was stunned. "Impressive... You Uzumaki are incredible. You don't die right away when the tailed beast is taken from you." the masked man said as Minato appeared in a yellow flash and grabbed Kushina bridal style before returning her to their compound with Naruto.
Minato and Kushina arrived and her husband placed her in the cribe next to Naruto. He then proceeded to grab a few kunai along with putting on his white robes that were the official robes of the hokage. "Don't worry, I'll be right back." Minato said as he vanished in a yellow flash.
Meanwhile, inside the walls of Konoha, the masked man unleashed the power of the Kyuubi no Kitsune. However, instead of his normal slited eyes, the Kyuubi was revealed to have the sharingan. This led many of the villagers to believe it was an Uchiha that was controlling the Kyuubi.
Minato appeared on top of the hokage's monument as he gazed into the eyes of the nine tails. "So, you've noticed me, huh? I won't let you destroy this village." Minato said as he went through a series of hand seals to create a barrier that redirected the tailed beast bomb being shot from the Kyuubi. "Hirashin Style - Flying Thunder God! Guiding Light!" Minato roared as the blast appeared in a distance from the village.
Once Minato redirected the attack, he was met by the masked man as they both warped to a new location. "What the hell was that jutsu? It's just like the Hiraishin." Minato said to himself as he stood up and gazed at the masked man that appeared before him.
"That's how he got through the barrier and through the guards. He also knew that the seal would be greatly weakend during child birth." Minato thought as his gaze never left the man. "There is only one shinobi in this world that could pull off such a feat." The hokage continued saying in his mind. "Are you Madara Uchiha?" asked Minato in a stern tone.
The masked man lowered his hoodie to reveal a his head that showed a short haircut. "Yes, I'm Madara Uchiha. I will destroy this village." the masked man, now identified as Madara Uchiha said. "Now that I freed the nine tails, all hope is lost for you and your village." MAdara declared as he charged at the hokage.
Minato extended his arm with a kunai in hand as he passed right through MAdara. However, he was caught inside of the chains that were attached to the man's arms. Thankfully, Minato's Hiraishin allowed him to flash over towards his kunai and escape Madara's hold.
"I need to be precise... It's the only way I can do this." Minato silently thought as he turned to face Madara. The two shinobi charged as Minato flicked his three pronged, hiraishin kunai that went through the man's body. To his surprise, Minato flashed above him. "Rasengan!" Minato roared as he managed to not only injure Madara, but also mark him properly.
"Damn you, Minato... You transported yourself to your kunai." Madara muttered as he let out a moan of pain from the contact of the Rasengan. "You got me, you truly are the Yellow Flash of Konoha." Madara said as he warped to gain distance between him and the fourth hokage.
Minato appeared right before Madara and stabbed a kunai through the man as his arm appeared to melt off of him. "I see... The Hiraishin time-space jutsu... Of course, it all makes sense." said Madara as he gazed at Minato's unimpressed expression. Appearing on Madara, multiple seals appeared on his chest. "What? A contract seal!" Madara declared.
Inside the village, the Kyuubi no Kitsune's sharingan eyes vanished and his slitted, demonic eyes returned. "With this, the nine tails is no longer under your control, Madara." Minato said as the man managed to swirl away from Minato.
"To not only release the nine tails from my control along with injuring me, you remind me greatly of Hashirama. You're worthy of your title, Fourth Hokage. Now, you must choose. Continue this fight with me, or deal with the nine tails." Madara said. Madara then vanished in another swirl while Minato turned to face the village.
"I need to stop this, now." Minato thought as he flashed himself to the center of Konoha. He then went through a series of hand seals and before the villagers, Gamabunta, the boss toad stood tall as he gazed at the nine tails.
"What the hell is this?" asked the boss toad.
"Sorry, Gamabunta. But I'm going to need your help. Can you subdue his movements while I prepare to transport him?" asked Minato.
"Of course, my boy. However, to subdue him while you perform the Hiraishin, it will take much of my chakra. I won't be any use after that." said the boss toad.
Minato and Gamabunta then proceeded to subdue the nine tails while Minato teleported himself and Kyuubi away from the village. As he began making preparations to seal the Kyuubi away, Minato warped back to his home and informed Kushina of his plans.
"No... Minato... Not Naruto... Why does it have to be him?" cried Kushina.
"Kushina... I know how you feel. But as the hokage, how could I ask another family to sacrifice their own child if I can't do it myself? Naruto will be viewed as a hero, the one protecting Konoha." Minato said.
"Why? Why does this have to happen?" asked Kushina.
"It's going to be okay. I'm going to seal the Yin half of Kyuubi inside of myself and the Yang half inside of Naruto. I'll be placed in the stomach of the shinigami but at least, Kyuubi won't be able to break free. The seal I'm using, Naruto will be able to draw on its power without the fox being able to gain control." Minato said.
"Please, please don't leave us. Seal it away inside of me. That way, when I die, I'll take the beast with me." Kushina cried out.
"I'm sorry, Kushina. But even if you die with the fox inside of you, there is a chance that he can resurface. There won't be anyone there to stop Kyuubi's reincarnation. That's why we have to seal him away inside of Naruto." Minato said as he, Kushina, and Naruto warped before the Kyuubi.
"I will not be sealed again! Never!" Kyuubi shouted as he tried to pierce the hokage with his claws. However, Kushina's Adamantine chains from her Uzumaki blood allowed her to stop the Kyuubi in his tracks.
"Minato, we need to hurry! I can't hold him for long!" Kushina cried out.
"Forbidden Jutsu - Reaper Death Seal Summoning!" Minato roared after going through the seals. Standing before Minato, a purple skinned man with long white hair, and a demonic looking face appeared. "Shinigami! Split the Kyuubi no Kitsune in half! Seal the Yin inside of me and take us both as your offering!" Minato called out.
Without uttering a word or changing its expression, the Shinigami drew its blade split half of the Kyuubi in half. However, before the blade connected, the nine tails drew on its strength and broke free of the chains as he aimed his attack towards Naruto. Seeing this, both Minato and Kushina appeared before their son as their stomaches were pierced by Kyuubi's claws.
The shinigami's blade connected and half of Kyuubi was placed inside of Minato. "Now, Kushina... We're going to transfer some of our chakra inside the eight trigrams seal. Please, say what you need to... We don't have much time left." Minato said as he was coughing up blood.
Kushina started crying. "Naruto... I'm sorry that I won't be around to watch you grow up... Please, please remember to always be kind. Show love even to those that give you otherwise. Stay away from the three prohibitions. Save up as much money as you can and don't just blow through it... Make to sure to drink, only when you're of age... Finally, find a woman that you love and have a big family... It doesn't need to be from a major clan... Just someone that makes you happy...
Lord Jiraiya, your godfather... He will be there for you and watch you grow... However, becareful. He's known to be a super pervert. Don't let his perverted thoughts corrupt your mind. Kakashi, the unofficial son of your father and I... He's been through a lot. He will also be there for you, protecting you and guiding you on your journey to become a powerful shinobi.
I can't tell you how sorry I am that I won't be there for you to watch you grow up. I love you Naruto and I promise, we'll meet again someday." Kushina said as she passed out and part of her chakra was infused into Naruto's seal.
"Hey, buddy. I don't know what else to say that your mom already hasn't. I know that I'm giving you a massive burden. But the village will treat you as its hero. Everyday you live, you'll be stopping Kyuubi's monsterous rampage. Lord Third, his name is Hiruzen. He'll keep an eye out for you and make sure that you're taken care of.
I'm sorry, Naruto. I'm sorry to have to give you a life without parents and to be holding the strongest and powerful demon of all time. I love you, my son. I promise, someday, we'll meet again." Minato said as his body vanished and entered the stomach of the Shinigami.
Flashback Ended
Madara remained silent as her eyes went shadowed... "So, how did Minato's plan work out? Is the boy a hero?" asked Madara as she looked up.
"Haha! Why don't you see for yourself? He's currently in the hospital. This is his two-thousand and nintith assassination attempt on his life. It seems the fourth hokage was wrong in regards to my jailer being treated as a hero." Kurama declared.
"Well, I'm sure he'll make those that did this to him pay." Madara said as she crossed her arms.
"Haha, you mortals are something else. Like Naruto has a mean bone in his body. I can tell you what will happen. The Third hokage will tell the boy that he had another seizure. He'll also take him for ramen to make him forget everything that's happened. And then tomorrow, the same thing will repeat." Kurama said.
Madara's eyes went wide at hearing this. "And they say you're the demon. Interesting... Maybe I can use this to my advantage..." MAdara said.
"If you think I'm handing control over to you, you've lost your mind. You may be powerful, but you've still lost much of your power from before. You can't hope to control me." Kurama said.
Madara gave the fox a sinsiter smirk. "Who needs to control you? All I have to do is manipulate the boy and train him into my image. If what you're saying is true about his constant treatment, he'll attach himself to me and when I ask him to jump, he'll ask how high." Madara said.
"Oh? So, it seems that you're still corrupted as ever. I guess that's why I find your presence to not be the worse thing I've delt with." Kurama said.
"The only way to obtain true world peace is by placing fear in others. By my guidence and teachings, your Jinchuriki will become the strongest shinobi. As a reward, I'll even set you free after. From what I saw, Naruto can survive the extraction. So this will be perfect." Madara said.
"I don't trust you and while I can't stand my Jinchuriki. If anything happens to him, I suffer the same fate. I will not let any harm come to the boy, you better remember that." Kurama said.
"Summoning jutsu." Madara said as she reverse summoned herself out Naruto and stood inside the hospital room where she was met by a confused hokage.
