Not a memory but a life.
I do not own Naruto, so don't sue.
A/Ns: Yatta! Good Morning people, or afternoon wherever you are. Here's your chapter.
Chapter 4
Settling into a freshly made bed, Sera's thoughts wondered to her late father. How she wished he could see his grandson. Staring out the window, Sera noticed how the sky had turned an evil colour. It was noon right about now, but the sky was dark and foreboding.
Flashback
"Hiya, Sera-Chan, how is my princess today?" A kindly old man said to the purple haired girl, who rushed up to him.
"Wonderful, Daddy!" The nine year old girl squealed .
The old man, Naruto, chuckled. He grabbed the pack off the bench.
Sera reached up towards her fathers hand and tightly grasped it. Together they walked out the door for their morning walk. Naruto noticed Sera had a thoughtful look.
"Sera-Chan? Do you have something you want to do?"
Sera smiled, "I had the strangest dream last night, Daddy. It was about a nine-tailed foxie with mystical powers!" Sera exclaimed in awe.
Naruto froze, and looked down at the small girl in fear for her. He stooped down to her level and placed his hands on her shoulders, "What did this fox do, Sera-Chan?"
Sera looked surprised,"Just played games with me and this other boy. I didn't see his face, but we had fun, and the foxie flew us around the world!"
Naruto breathed a sigh of relief, it was just a dream, after all…

Sera sighed as another large boom re-sounded through out the air.

"Arashi-Kun, we can't just keep on with this constant attacking. The shinobi are tiring and won't be able to keep this up. Do you have a plan of action?" Sarutobi asked, staring at the battlefield with growing fear present on his face. The demon was coming closer and closer by the second.
Arashi sighed, "I do, but it'll take time. It's the only option."
Sarutobi turned his head, confused by the current Hokage, "What do you mean?"
"Once Sera told me of a legendary demon fox, laying dormant until one day, a man of darkness awakens the fox. That fox is said to immortal."
"That still doesn't answer my question."
"I going to try my newest jutsu, the improved version of Shiki Fujin."
Sarutobi gasped, " But it'll kill you!"
"So it will the demon… But I can't take it within me."
Sarutobi frowned, then realisation dawned upon his face, " You don't mean to say that you're going to seal it in another person, do you?"
"No, I cannot, as the Kyuubi's powers would corrupt their inner chakra coils… it needs to be a child, to hold the Kyuubi safely at bay. In other words, a newborn child, yet to fully develop his coils. And I only know of one person who would allow their child to be the jailor for the Kyuubi. Me."
Sarutobi's eyes widened but slowly lowered his head, "And Sera?"
Arashi turned and looked the former Hokage in the eye, "She'll do anything to save this village. She'll raise our son to be the best ninja in the world, I know it."
Sarutobi didn't doubt this for one second.
"I am also going to use another jutsu, so Naruto can protect himself from future threats."
Sarutobi laughed, "You had this well thought out, didn't you."
Arashi chuckled, "I guess that's why I'm the Hokage of Konoha."

"Daddy, tell me more about the Kyuubi!"
Naruto sighed, this after all, had to come someday. Sera did need to be told this story. But was she ready for it? Naruto glanced down at the girl on his lap, patiently waiting for her father to tell the story.
'If she asks, I will tell, but if she doesn't then I won't' Naruto concluded, and started the long story of the nine-tailed demon fox.
"In this world, it is rumoured that nine tailed beasts exist for the purpose of destruction. No one knows where they are, or even about their powers, only said that they demons, animals of hell, rising from the centre of the earth. Now the nine-tailed fox is the king of all youma, his nine-tails rising tsunamis, causing mountains to crumble at the slightest touch. The demon loves the terror and fright of humans and animals alike. However, the Kyuubi rises once every 1000 years."
"Daddy? When was the last time the foxie woke?"
Naruto sighed, this girl was sharp, "About 1000 years ago now…"
Sera smiled, much to Naruto's surprise. "Does that mean foxie will wake again soon?"
"I don't know, it's only a legend, Sera-Chan, don't take it to heart,"
"But if it does, where does it wake?" Sera asked, giggling at the thought of a giant fox in a basinet.
"Like I said, the Kyuubi wakes from the depths of hell. It's uncertain where, but they say, a man covered by only darkness, wakes the fox, commanding him."
"Wow, commanding a giant foxie! Imagine a foxie doing all the dishes!" Sera giggled.
"I already have," Naruto replied.

The Yondaime Hokage ran through the necessary seals for the two jutsus that would cost him his life.
"Promise me, Jiraiya-sensei , that you'll look after my family for me."
"I'll do my best, gaki,"
"Sarutobi, my last wish is for Naruto to be a hero, seen as the one who saved us all from the Kyuubi. Tell him I'm sorry…"
"I will, Yondaime-Sama…"
"Thank you, and it's Arashi."
Sarutobi nodded, and called the remaining ninjas back, watching in awe at the man bravely sacrificing his life for the sake of others. Arashi called Gamabunta and after hearing of the situation, the frog boss sadly moved towards the fox.
God, sorry for those who read, but I've been in a personal crisis. Also, I think there will be two maybe one more chapter for this story. Then I'll start a powerful Naruto fic. Feel the power! Lol, I'm a weirdo…
