Hello, fellow Fan-fictions Readers. Welcome back to this Story. Sorry If in your Opinion that I took too long to write this. I had didn't quite have the time to start/continue writing this Story. And without further to do, enjoy the Chapter.
Naruto = Narrator
'Naruto' = Thoughts
"Naruto" = Talking
"Naruto"= Jutsu
"Naruto" = Bijuu, Gods, Boss Summons, Demonic Jinchuuriki Mode (Jinchuuriki in possessed State), Great Red. Thoughts of these Entities do not count under this Rule.
Short Author Note:
I decided to change some of the ways that things are written. Instead of writing the Actions (like smiling, smirking, punching, etc…), I thought that I would just use the Narrator for that, Jutsu are now underlined and instead of GRE, it will now just be Great Red. It seems someone thought that I have placed Great Red and Draigg on the same level of Rank and Strength but that wasn't my intention so I will simply call him Great Red now.
I will also rewrite Chapter 1 in some time just to make it look more appealing. I will also get rid of the mid-chapter explanations.
Chapter 2: The Demon Fox
It is the 9th of October. We will now go to a certain Island. This Island is surrounded by Whirlpools and rubble of old structures as well as various Skeletons. Hidden on this Island is a Statue. To be specific, it is hidden inside of an Underground Cave. The Entrance to the Cave is hidden by an illusion that was created by using Fuinjutsu.
Inside of this cave is the infamous Statue of the Uzumaki. It looks like a Dragon. It seems to have 4 Wings. 1 Pair of Wings which have a span length of 15 meters. And a smaller Pair of Wings which have a Span Length of 10meters, they are rather lengthy and slim while the bigger ones are both long and wide. This Ruby-colored Statue is the hardened Body of the Great Red with the Gold Stand below it.
We now go inside of the Statue. More specifically into the Mind of the Statue's inhabitant.
'U-Ugh… Where am I… What is happening and why do I feel so small…' Great Red groaned inside his Mind while trying to make out the Situation he is in 'Right… I hardened myself to escape that weird creature. And when I woke up with the bare minimum of Magic left to stay awake I more or less set up that human Omoikane, was his Name I think, and his Family into praising and praying for me… Heh. All those Praises and Prayers have slowly but surely helped regenerate my Reserves to a satisfying amount. I do not know how that works but meh. It does so I'm not complaining, without those Prayers I would have taken nearly twice as long to regenerate to this degree… Prayers are truly a magnificent Power. Sadly I'm still at 60% Power at most...'
Slowly but surely the Great Red comes back to complete consciousness and tries to make out his Location and Situation.
'Hmm. Seems like I'm underground again. I can sense nothing near me. The Temperature on the outer Shell is too cold for it to be overground. But this time it is actually a Cave and not some stupid Stomach… I wonder what happened to that Creature not going to lie. Meh not like it is important at the Moment… I need to get out of here and look around… Sadly I won't be able to do that just yet… I still don't have enough power to unharden myself without any kind of drawbacks and I won't risk it with the possibility of any Creatures of that caliber lurking around...'
Great Red is kind of frustrated with being pretty much useless so he is thinking of a way to talk even while being hardened. Who knows? Maybe someone will visit him and he could explain his situation to that person/creature. Finally, he gets an Idea… Maybe he can project his thoughts and/or voice by streaming out his Magic outside of the Statue's Shell. That way if someone comes into this cave, he can simply tell them what is going on.
Small Timeskip
Great Red is by now grinning in his Head. He has started the process of streaming out his Magic around 2 Hours ago and when he tried some while ago he was able to make a sound. Now after 2 hours of doing this he is sure that he can actually talk and not only that… he can already use some kind of 3rd Eye. It's as if he can see even though his Eyes are hardened and not only can he see normally, no he can also look around corners as if it was a straight path...
"Test. 1 2 3 4. I am imprisoned… alright it's working… finally the Process is complete. Now then let's see…" The Great Red then looks around himself and tries to make out any type of sign for an outside activity of another being/creature. Which he doesn't find. Instead, he finds something radiating a blinding glow. A blue Glow to be exact. This Glow is coming from the Barrier cast by Ashina Uzumaki's Father.
"What the… I couldn't sense that when I was still streaming out magic out of my hardened body… It seems my senses have dulled while being in this hardened state and being so weakened… Well, I guess that does make sense." The Great Red comes over his shock and looks back towards the Barrier. "Hm… This does seem very familiar to Natural Energy but it seems as if it was altered with… Doesn't have that Natural feeling of either Peace and Quietness or Chaos and Terror with it… This Energy seems to be empty from any Emotions or Intentions except for the one of keeping me here of course…" he sighs
"Well, that does make sense… I pretty much have a body comparable to those weird crystals Humans use for trading and as currency… My "Owner" probably did this to make sure I don't get stolen…" He sighs once again "Well might as well try to get my Magic outside of this Barrier. Maybe I could actually see the overworld by doing so."
And with that Great Red begins trying to stream his Energy outside the Barrier. He doesn't care how long it will take but he wants to try and get at least some contact to the overworld. Maybe he could lure someone in here and convince them to free him from his hardened State.
He will get free and he will do everything for it… The possibility of Ophis coming here and finishing him off is too big… He WOULD even volunteer to be someone's Sacred Gear or something similar by making himself one to escape this defenseless state. Of course, he would only do that for someone who has certain Traits. He won't bow to some Pervert or even worse Rapist. Someone who is power-hungry also won't work. He needs someone smart, nice, and genuine but also as cold as can be when it is needed.1

October 10th
"IT HURTS DATTEBANEEEEEE"
A Scream is heard through the Night. It is currently night time and people are going to sleep. But while all this is happening Kushina Uzumaki, the Granddaughter of Ashina and Jinchuuriki of the Nine-Tails is giving Birth. Normally the Nine-Tails would try to escape. After all, he can't be imprisoned in some PATHETIC Human. But what the 4th Hokage, Biwako Sarutobi, and the Anbu Taji don't know is that Kurama is only acting. He actually doesn't want to escape and he sure as hell doesn't want to hurt Kushina. But to not raise any Suspicion within the Village and especially within the Council who is still suspicious of her just randomly appearing with the Nine-Tails, he will have to act as if he wants to escape Kushina.
And that is what is currently happening. Kurama is forcing out his Chakra while hoping that the 4th Hokage will be able to stop all of it as to not hurt Kushina and her Child.
"HANG IN THERE KUSHINA-HIME, NARUTO!" Minato shouted. He by now is struggling with keeping up the seals. He may be a seal master and the 4th Hokage but this is the Nine-Tails we are talking about… The strongest of the Tailed Beasts and one who has not been seen for over 900 Years before Kushina appeared… No one knows how to counter its Chakra and Power…
"One more Push Kushina! Come on!" Biwako shouted encouragingly. She has been appointed to help Kushina give birth and she'd be damned if she was to let this Birth fail. After all she and her Husband Hiruzen Sarutobi are quite close to the Couple and she has no Grandchildren of her own… So she might as well spoil him as if she is Naruto's Grandmother until she gets some Grandchildren of her own.
"arghhh-… EASIER SAID THAN DONE DATTEBANNEEEEEEEEE" Kushina shouted…
"Waaah Waaaah" crying was heard. It comes from a Baby inside of Biwako's Arm.
This Baby has the golden Hair his Father has without the spikiness though and with a minor yet obvious Difference.2
If you take a Hair of his you will see how it goes from yellow to a very little amount of a more darkish yellow/orange to Crimson/Blood Red Ends at each Hair. He also has 3 Whisker Marks on each Cheek.3
This Baby is Naruto Uzumaki who was just born.
"Shhhhh it's alright Naruto… Your Mom is right here" said Biwako as she gave Naruto to Kushina so she can see him before he will be taken to be tested for any allergies and illnesses.
"He is so cute… Heh. Minato we finally did it. We are now officially Parents." said Kushina while catching her Breath. Behind her, Minato was in Tears. He now actually had a Son. His Hair mixed with Kushina's. He was sure it would look like some kind of Flame in the Future.
Minato wiped his Tears away and took a Deep Breath. "Alright, Kushina. I now need to reseal the Kyuubi… Otherwise, it will most likely break out" Minato stated calmly while going towards Kushina and going through handsigns.
"Be ready Kushina this will h-" before he can finish talking, he was cut off by a scream. This scream was Biwako. Minato turned around and his eyes widened at what he saw. Biwako and Taji are now both laying on the ground bleeding out. But that isn't what he is so concerned about at the moment.
In front of him is a Man. His height is around 6ft. He has a completely black Coat with an Orange Mask that has multiple Lines on it. And this exact man currently has Naruto in his Hand with his other Hand above the crying baby's Head with a Kunai in it.
'How did this Man get in here without me knowing… I had nearly 100 Anbu and 3 Barriers protect this Room… I should've sensed him before he even appeared! Damn it, this isn't how it was supposed to go!' He would've continued his train of thoughts but he was suddenly snapped out of his thoughts when the man spoke loudly yet coldly.
"Get away from the Jinchuuriki Yondaime…" The Man stated coldly. "Do you not care about what will happen to your little Brat here?" He asked with mock curiousness in his Voice.
"Wait don't do this!" Minato shouted frantically. He was at the bargaining end right now. "You don't need to do this. Let's just calm down okay?"
"Heh. Speak for yourself. I am as calm as day! Now get away from the NINE TAILS!" said the Man calmly before suddenly shouting the end and throwing the crying Baby in the Air. "Heh," the man snorted shortly at the scene before grabbing his Kunai tightly and jumping at the Baby.
Minato seeing this acted fast. He teleports to the Mark he has placed on the Blanket that would be used for Naruto, so he can teleport to it when he needs to. Avoiding the approaching Man, he quickly used his Chakra to stand on the Wall.
"Heh. So this is the Yellow Flash of the Leaf… You live up to your Name you know? But… how will you deal with THIS!" said the masked man while forming a Handsign.
Minato was confused. Why was the Man doing a single handsign? He was quickly snapped out of his thoughts by something sizzling. He looked at Naruto and he noticed several Paper Bombs on him "Crap!" He exclaimed loudly before readying himself to teleport away.
"NARUTO!" he heard Kushina shout just before he teleported away. As he teleported to a training Ground of his he swiftly removed the Blanket and threw it deep into the House, before jumping straight through the Door of the House.
It exploded not even a second later. He was just sliding to a stop on the ground when he heard the crying again as he looked down and smiled. "Thank god you are okay." He exclaimed with obvious amounts of Happiness in his Voice. He suddenly winced as he looked down at himself. He has a Wooden Splinter in his Leg…
"I must hurry." Is what he said before flipping the Splinter into the Air and disappearing.
Reappearing in his Private Estate he went to the Bed nearby. He took out a Blanket and wrapped Naruto in it before placing him on the Bed. "Tch that masked bastard… Now to find Kushina…" He muttered before disappearing again, leaving Naruto alone.
…oOo…
A few minutes before Minato is searching for Kushina
"Uhhhghhh"
Kushina didn't see what was happening. After shouting for her Son and seeing both him and her Husband disappear, she was only able to feel pressure on her neck before blacking out. She supposes the masked Man has knocked her out. And it seems that she was now gaining back her consciousness. "Where... am I?"
She managed to say before her Vision and hearing came back full force.
There she realized that she was nowhere near the Village. She was currently on a Rock between a random Rock Formation. She was chained up and seals were pretty much everywhere. In front of her standing and looking up at her was the masked man.
"Well then… It seems you are awake. Mind answering a few questions? To be honest I am confused as to why the Kyuubi isn't out by now. After all… he was escaping from you just a few minutes ago… And now he has suddenly calmed down?" The Masked man was kind of curious and also a bit nervous… even if he was strong, a perfect nine tails Jinchuuriki would most likely beat him into the ground and he can't have that happen.
How exactly did he get to this conclusion?
Well, the moment, he and Kushina were ported away, Kyuubi just stopped trying to escape. And there are only 2 Options that could explain this. Either the Seal was completed by Minato somehow or the Kyuubi was acting… And the seal is still weakened. He can see it RIGHT NOW after all…
That leaves the one Option he kind of fears. The Kyuubi was acting! So he wanted more context. He knew she couldn't escape, so why not interrogate her. Because he needed to know… Was the Kyuubi on their side or was he a sadist who just wanted to worry Minato and cause pain to Kushina. Because if both of these weren't the case then he would've escaped right?
"Well then… Kushina mind telling me your Relationship with the Kyuubi? I find it… like mentioned before quite strange that he has not escaped yet. It is as if he was acting don't you agree?" By now Kushina was worried. If SOMEHOW word came out that she was friends with Kurama then she could say goodbye to a Housewife Life… She would be forced into Anbu Training and forced to take the most dangerous Missions there are. She would also lose every kind of respect or trust she had.
After all, a perfect Jinchuuriki could've saved a lot of lives in the 3rd War and she hid the fact that she and Kyuubi were on friendly terms...
This may seem a little selfish but she just doesn't want to be a Ninja anymore… For all she cares she wants to live a normal life until she dies of Old Age. But she knows that if this man somehow gets this Information out to the rest of the world and makes it sound believable… not only will she be interrogated by the I.T. under suspicion of Treason for keeping this a Secret but would also lose this exact life Style she wanted to have. And if it came to the worst-case scenario she would lose Minato.
She had to lie…
"I and the Kyuubi are not on friendly terms if this is what you are pointing at… And even If I knew why he isn't trying to escape, I wouldn't tell you. And you probably know that I'm a Seal Master. Unless you are the Hokage and force me to release all my Seals for the I.T. Department, you will never get something out of me" she smirked slightly at the end, she knew whether Kurama comes out or not she could still survive. And unless this man has a very advanced Sharingan, he wouldn't be able to force Kurama to come out anyways. So she was currently still very confident in her Survival. And she wasn't afraid to show just that. After all, she knew, that Minato will come very soon.
"Oh? Confident are we now? Well not that it matters… I just wanted to confirm some stuff before doing what I came for… And you are probably right. I couldn't force you to answer me anyways… That is very unfortunate. Now then… I know that today is the day you die, so I might as well tell you my goal here…" Kushina was confused. How would she die? This man couldn't just kill her, the nine tails would come free and kill this man after her death. And due to Kurama not being seen for over 900years, before she appeared, makes it also pretty much impossible for someone to have a counter sealing method for Kurama… After all, no one was able to study him, unlike the other Tailed Beasts.
While thinking what he meant by those words, he continued which snapped her out of her Trance. "You may ask how I will do that and what I am planning am I right?" he continued without waiting for her Answer. "Well, it is pretty simple. I intend to control the Kyuubi with my Visual Powers and make him attack the Leaf Village, while I go after Minato Namikaze, the yellow flash." 4
Kushina was shocked and now afraid for not only herself but also her entire Village. This man just said he will control Kurama with his Visual Powers which could only mean the Sharingan, the only major Dojutsu with Genjutsu Capabilities and the Ability to control the Tailed Beasts… and now that he mentioned it, she could see a Sharingan blazing in his Eye hole… "Heh… It seems you have finally realized your Situation. Well, it is too late now. I will simply gather my Fox Pet and leave you here to die." He said before his Sharingan blazed and he stared right into the Foxes Eyes through Kushina.
"N-no this can't be happening… Kushina… please survive…" Kurama struggled as he tried to resist the Genjutsu but it was futile. The Genjutsu was too strong and he is now forced to leave the seal. "Take care Kushina… this is probably the last time we will talk… I will say this… If I could go to the past and choose between you or get captured by the other Villages, I would choose you a 100times over them… Thank you for treating me like an actual Being and not a Slave."
Kushina was crying. Not only because of the Pain she felt but also because of Kurama. Besides Mikoto and Yōki.5
Kurama was her best friend and companion. And if she loses him then she loses a piece of her own Soul. Suddenly the pain stopped and only exhaustion remains. Why? Because the extraction has been completed. Now before her, he stood. Kurama, the Kyuubi no Yoko. And he was looking down at her with malice in his Eyes "Yo-ou wi-ll not… get away… with… this…"
Kushina managed to say before collapsing again. She was exhausted from the Birth and on top of that, her tailed beast friend was just pulled out of her. "Oh? You are still alive… now that is quite surprising. Well considering you are an Uzumaki, maybe not so much but still…"
The Masked Man was getting annoyed by now though. He can't wait anymore. He has waited for years to finally do this and he won't be delayed anymore. "Oh well. I can't have you warn the Village of my Plans… So I will simply kill you here. See you in the Afterlife, Kushina Uzumaki!" And with those words, the Nine-Tails sprang into action. He brought his arm/leg up and readied his Claws. With one swift motion, he brought it down upon Kushina, who just looked up at it in Horror and Rage for the masked man.
The Palm of his arm hit the Rock Formation and caused a mini Tsunami for the coast nearby. He lift his Arm up again and looked below it. No Blood or Body was seen. The Mask Man was confused. After all, how could she have moved without him noticing… That is when he sensed 2 Chakra Signatures.
He looked towards the nearby Trees. Which is where he saw them. Kushina Uzumaki, though only barely, was standing beside Minato Namikaze who has just arrived, and was furious. He was about to go down there and show this man why he was called the Yellow Flash. But he was stopped by his Wife Kushina. "Don't… We have to go and protect the village and Naruto…" He nodded. And with that, they disappeared.
"Damn it! I need to do this fast otherwise the whole village will be ready for this." The masked man hurried. He unsummoned the Nine-Tails and quickly went off towards the Leaf Village.
…oOo…
Kushina and Minato appeared at their private Estate. But before anything could be said or discussed, Kushina just fell down… coughing, breathing heavily, and sobbing. Minato quickly picked her up and made sure she was okay. After doing so he carries her to the Bed in which Naruto is sleeping peacefully.
"My son… Thank Kami you are safe… I couldn't imagine what I would've done knowing you are hurt…" Kushina muttered out between sobs. Minato clenched his Hands into Fists 'Just you hope that I won't see you tonight… Otherwise, I will rip you apart… literally'
Minato began walking to his Closet. He took out his Hokage Cloak and refilled his Kunai Pouch. You can never have enough Kunai after all. "I will be right back…" Minato said seriously yet sadly.
"Of course…" replied Kushina. And with that Minato flashed away. Intent on fighting the Nine-Tails and the masked man.
Shortly after Minato left, Kushina stood up… She needed to make sure that Naruto has something just in case she and Minato die tonight… She may not like the thought but the chance is very high, so she has to prepare.
"… I have to make sure that Naruto will at least have something… For all, I know I and Minato will die… I need to make sure that Naruto has SOMEONE... Hiruzen will do, he was excited for me and Minato… He should be enough to take care of Naruto. Maybe a Weapon for the Future. Those coordinates Grandpa gave me, a Picture of myself…
I will also leave Sealing Scrolls for him, so he can train when he enters the Academy… I would want him to succeed the Uzumaki and know that he even has a clan… hmmm my old Uzushio Battle Armor and Headband should be pretty good Souvenirs/Reminders for him as well… I wonder if our Plan B worked… If yes then Naruto has at least some Family!" She smiles slightly before remembering something.
"A cooking Book! How could I nearly forget that? If Minato dies then someone has to succeed him… and as much as I don't like Fugaku, he would be the only possible Hokage… Orochimaru is feared, Danzo will not be allowed to be Hokage with Hiruzen around, Kakashi is still too young, Jiraiya doesn't want it, Tsunade left and Hiashi wants to remain Clan Head which leaves Fugaku and only him…
Tch… But knowing those 2 Elders they will blame the loyal Uchiha for this happening and he won't be allowed to become Hokage due to that suspicion… And if that happens Hiruzen will have to volunteer to become Hokage and then he won't be able to raise Naruto… So just in case that happens, I will have to give him a Cooking Book, wouldn't want him to only eat cup ramen or something like that…" She chuckles. She gathers the stuff she wants to give Naruto and puts it inside a box "Now then… a goodbye letter explaining the Situation… I hope Hiruzen follows my wish with all this and doesn't ignore it…"
Kushina quickly writes a letter explaining the whole situation. After doing so she put the Letter on top of the box and sealed the Box inside a Scroll. On another Scroll she wrote. "In case I, Kushina Uzumaki, and my Husband, Minato Namikaze die today on the 10th of October, all the Items contained in the Scroll shall be given to our Son, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze… 6
He shall receive all of the Items contained the moment he can do simple tasks like running, talking, and of course, thinking clearly. The only things that he shall receive later is the Letter on top of the box that is sealed in the Scroll and the Red Swirl Patterned Scroll inside of the Box… He shall receive the Scroll when he graduates from the Academy and becomes an Official Ninja of Konohagakure and the Letter when he reaches either the Age of 17 or becomes a Chunin… I, Kushina Uzumaki, and my Husband, Minato Namikaze give Hiruzen Sarutobi complete control over the Namikaze and Uzumaki Bank Account until our Kid, Naruto Uzumaki is capable of managing it himself.
I and my Husband forbid the Council and the Elders from getting the Money. The Money also shall not be used as Village Funds, unless the ones who use it pay it back completely throughout max. 15Years, on top of the Interest the Money would've gotten if sitting around.
I, Kushina Uzumaki give consent for my Son, Naruto Uzumaki to inherit the Uzumaki Estate and all Properties inside of the Estate, as well as anything on the Property. Only Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya of the Sannin, and Anbu Code Name Dog (or Kakashi Hatake, whatever is preferred) can enter this Estate without burning to ashes. He shall receive this Estate when he has learned of his Fathers Identity. Which is either when becoming Chunin or when he reaches the age of 17 by default."
-sincerely Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze
- Imagine she signed below with both of their signatures - 12
She sighs "Alright… Minato may not have been here to sign this but I needed to do this… otherwise those greedy fuckers would use our Money for themselves…" With that Kushina puts the scroll and the Last Will of hers and Minato inside her Kunai pouch. "Alright time to go… I need to assist Minato. I may not have a lot of Chakra left but the amount that I do have should be enough to help him out in some way… Be safe Naruto" And with that she left trying to help Minato do whatever he is doing.
…oOo…
around 10minutes earlier in the middle of Konoha
"My youthful Rival! It is a wonderful night wouldn't you agree! I say it's time to test our youthfulness!" Might Guy is a jounin of the hidden Leaf. He is in his late teenage years and he has befriended Kakashi. An Anbu and supposed super Prodigy. They have developed a Rival Relationship with each other and since then have been doing contests to know who the stronger one is.
"Calm down Guy… It is in the middle of the night and while most people are still out, there are still quite an amount of people trying to sleep. And no I decline. Thank you for the offer though." Kakashi replied lazily. He was not annoyed by Guy or anything. In fact, he enjoys the company after losing his 2 Teammates and currently being very worried for Kushina. After all, he watched her Pregnancy and has more or less become attached to the child as he also sees Kushina as an older Sister.7
"Hah! You are just worried that my Flames of Youth will outshine yours!" laughed Might Guy. He was sure that his own Flames of Youth burn more brightly than Kakashi's and he will make sure to rub that in his face!
"Hm? Did you say something Guy?" asked Kakashi with an Eye smile. He knows that this is the perfect way to get Guy off of his back and he would do it as often as needed.
"Ughhhhh damn you Kakashi and your hip Attitude! You are always acting so cool!" Might Guy exclaimed loudly. His Rival Kakashi always had some weird excuses to turn him down or just ignores him completely when he tries to encourage him to fight.
Kakashi laughed softly. He liked Guy. He is a good guy (pun intended) and probably his best Friend since Obito. Suddenly he stopped laughing and became serious… "Hey Guy… Do you feel that too?" he asked Guy. But Guy saw this as a way to distract him from his Offer to a Fight.
"Now don't you dare change the Subject Kakashi! We will fight to test our Youth!" Guy shouted. He has had enough of Kakashi's "Excuses" for today.
Kakashi wasn't trying to find excuses though. "No Guy… I mean that the Air has just changed… it feels eviler."
"Hah?! I don't know what you are talking about Kakashi. Now fight me!" Guy exclaimed loudly once again. Kakashi didn't pay him any mind though. He was thinking of the possibilities and what is going on.
…oOo…
Currently sitting on the patio of a House are 2 children. These Children or 1 Child and 1 Baby are Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha. The sons of the Clan head Fugaku Uchiha.
"Hm?" Itachi looked into the Sky. He just sensed something. "The Wind feels different. It has changed…" Sasuke starts crying for no apparent reason. "You felt it too didn't you Sasuke?"
"That this is happening while Mom and Dad are out…"
…oOo…
In a private Office of the Sarutobi Estate. Hiruzen Sarutobi, the husband of the midwife Biwako Sarutobi was puffing on his Pipe while reading simple Reports for Minato. After all, Minato can't do anything when he is supposed to help his Wife give Birth.
"Hm?" The former Hokage tilts his Head and puts down the Paper he is holding. "Something is wrong… Don't tell me the Birth has failed despite all the efforts we put into the success of this Birth…" The former Hokage puffed one last time before putting out his pipe and laying it down.
He stands up and shunshin towards a Room with his Battle Armor.
…oOo…
We now go to the Border of Konoha. This specific Border is near some major village structures like the Academy and Market. The Market is bussing with People. The Academy is filled with Chunin Instructors and low-ranked Jutsu Scrolls. The Perfect Place to start an Attack.
A ripple in the Air appears near an Alleyway. No one can see it. Out comes the Masked Uchiha. He swiftly looks around before raising his hand high in the Air. He brought it down onto the Floor with Force."Summoning Jutsu!". A big array of Sealing Formula appears on the ground.
Then suddenly a Smoke Cloud bigger than several blocks of Buildings appears. Buildings nearby were knocked over. People flew several meters just from standing too near. At first, the Wind was the only thing that was noticed by the Civilians and Ninja. Though suddenly you can hear growling.
The growling gets louder and louder until you can see a Red Eye shining from inside the Smoke and 9 long Tails coming out of the Smoke.
"IT'S THE KYUUBIIII!" shouts a Civilian who recovered before everyone else.
This shout made everyone come out of their Shock as they begin to scream and run away trying to reach the Bunkers, while the Shinobi go and attack the Kyuubi.
The Kyuubi roars loudly before finally beginning his Attack. He slashes entire buildings into thousands of pieces. His tails smash the academy and nearby houses. His Roar itself is made of highly compressed air, strong enough to blow entire city blocks up all the while flinging People around as if they were Dolls.
"Over here Kyuubi!" Two Chunin shout as they attempt to harm the Kyuubi's Face and more preferably the Eyes of the beast with explosive Tags… Which very obviously fails. This Action achieved something though. Making the Beast Angry.
The Kyuubi has had enough of these small Fries practically picking his fur apart.
With one swift motion, he slaps the Shinobi away. He uses his Tails to destroy the buildings nearby. Entire Squads of Shinobi and Families of Civilians are getting killed.
"Keep the Kyuubi at Bay until Lord Yondaime or Lord Sandaime arrive!" shouted a Jounin in a nearby Tree. His Teammates and Subordinates beside him just nodded and jumped away, trying to inform their superiors of the Situation. When the Jounin turned back around he saw one big red slitted eye staring right back at him. "… shit"
That is the last word he muttered right before the Kyuubi brought down his Claws upon him, slashing him into pieces.
…oOo…
A few minutes prior to this.
"Sandaime-sama! The Kyuubi appeared in the Village and it is going on a Rampage!"
An Anbu appeared next to Hiruzen Sarutobi, trying to give the former Hokage any kind of Conformation he may need.
"I already know… Tell the Shinobi to evacuate the Civilians before further engaging the Kyuubi including the Children that are Shinobi. That includes Prodigies like Hatake Kakashi. Doesn't matter if they are Jounin or an Anbu, they are to be evacuated. Understood?" The Old Man commanded with his Voice, leaving no Room for Argument.
"Hai Sandaime-sama!" and with that the Anbu disappeared in a Shunshin, rushing to inform the Jounin Commander Shikaku Nara and the Yamanaka Clan, so they can give out instructions.
'So the Seal really failed huh…? Truly a Tragedy. I must hurry though. While I'm thinking about those 2 and my Wife, the Village is being destroyed…' And with that the Hokage also disappeared out of the Room, going towards the Battlefield.
…oOo…
Someone appeared on the Hokage Monument. The Kyuubi looks towards the Monument as his Eyes widen a little bit, before narrowing and opening his Mouth. Positively and Negatively charged Chakra appears all around the Kyuubi, as he tries forming a Ball like Object.
"Noticed Me?" Minato pondered. He has just gotten back from taking Kushina to Naruto and now is fully prepared for the Kyuubi. "I won't let you destroy this Place!" Minato shouted while going through handsigns.
The Kyuubi has finished making the Ball Object. It was as Minato suspected, a Bijuu-Dama. He fires it with a loud boom, as it destroys everything in its path heading for the Hokage Monument. The Ball suddenly stopped though. Now if you were to look at the Hokage Monument from anywhere in the Village, you would see a massive Sealing Array behind the Bijuu-Dama that stretches from the bottom of the Monument, all the way up into the Sky.
The Bijuu-Dama starts moving again as it slowly but surely gets absorbed into the Seal. After it is fully Absorbed the Seal disappears along with the Bijuu-Dama.
…oOo…
"Oi. That Jutsu that deflected the Nine-Tails Attack… That was a Teleportation Barrier!" Choza Akimichi the Teammate of the Jounin Commander Shikaku Nara and Inoichi Yamanaka
"It's got to be Minato!" Shikaku pondered.
…oOo…
The Bijuu-Dama appears far away in a Mountain Array, before exploding in a giant Yellow Ball of Fire.
'With this much power, I've got to carefully choose where I redirect its Attacks.' Minato observed.
One of those Attacks could destroy entire villages if he is not careful enough. 'I've got to alert Lord Sandaime right away about what is going on.'
He feels a ripple in the Air. He quickly turns around Kunai In hand, ready to ram it into the Persons Head, especially after he sees that it is the Masked Guy.
His Kunai and Hand go right through him though. After the Hand goes completely through his head, the masked Man grabs Minato by the wrist. He speaks up
"I'm your Opponent…. And you are done for."
A ripple appears from his Eye hole and begins distorting the Air around the 2.
It is Fast. But Minato is faster, he teleports away using his Flying Raijin Technique.
"He got away. So fast…" The masked man grumbled. "Next time I shall take him a lot quicker... As soon as we touch."
The ripples away to find Minato and fight him. Which he does.
The Fight between the 2 goes as Canon with Minato ramming a Rasengan in the Back of the Masked Man.
'He transported to the Kunai he threw!' The Masked man pondered in thought. Minato who is still on top of him rams the Rasengan deeper. Causing him and the Masked Man to go deeper into the already destroyed Ground.
Though before he can place his Flying Raijin Seal on the Masked Man he becomes intangible and jumps away panting.
Minato jumped away also and observed the panting Figure. The Left Hand of the Masked Man appears to be melting.
…oOo…
"Iruka. Are you alright?" Kohari Umino asked her Son. Bleeding from her Mouth.
"Ma…" Iruka's Heart was beating fast. He was just having Dinner with his Parents when the Nine-Tails appeared and started destroying the Village. And now his Mom is in front of him bleeding profusely. "Pa! Ma's…"
"Leave your Ma to me! Now run and hide Iruka!" Ikkaku Umino commanded his Son.
"No! I don't want to leave you and Ma behind! I'll protect Ma!" Iruka shouted. Trying to get through to his Father.
"Don't push me, Boy! It's a Parents Duty to protect their Child!" Ikkaku affirmed.
…oOo…
The Attack from here on out goes just like the Canon up to the Part where Kushina and Minato get stabbed by Kurama.
'Kyuubi! Destroy that Child! Kill it! Make sure you are not captured.' The Masked Man commanded the Kyuubi. Through the Genjutsu he can see what is happening. After seeing the current situation of Minato dying after using the Reaper Death Seal, he was happy. But then he saw him trying to make a new Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. That Jinchuuriki would be his Son. He is currently preparing everything for the Eight Trigrams Seal
"All right… Now for the Eight Trigrams Seal… to seal the other half of the Nine-Tails."
'I'm sorry Kurama… I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from this Fate… I'm sorry for being careless… I'm sorry for not telling them the Truth… I'm sorry…' Kushina cried. Minato thinks it is because of Naruto… Well, it is partially but it is mainly because she failed Kurama greatly. She coughs up a lot of blood and saliva. She is tired. Her being too tired and out of Chakra causes the Chains binding Kyuubi to become loose and Kyuubi still under the Sharingan's Influence cannot stop himself from launching his claw at the newborn.
It ripped through the air with great speed… But at its weakened state, it isn't fast enough to outspeed the worried Mother and dying Father. Minato and Kushina jump in front of the Claw, being impaled in the Process. Kushina gripped the Claw tightly. Not only to send some of her remaining Chakra through Kurama to try and make him snap out of it but also to make the Claw stop.
It worked. The Chakra reached Kurama. Not only because of the Masked Man being weakened but also because he weakened the Genjutsu himself throughout this Night, he was able to break it and recognize the Chakra.
The Sharingan in Kyuubi's Eye is now rotating. The 3 Tomoe are slowly going towards the Pupil. After they reach the Pupil, they start combining into one. After that process is done, the Eye became Slit again, with no Sight of the Sharingan like before. The Kyuubi is now back from being controlled. But he has not yet adjusted to anything he is seeing. He is currently going through the information he got after breaking the Genjutsu. He is going through the Attack up to this point.
Back to the Parents.
"...I said I was his Father… Dying for him is my Right." Minato slowly said between painful breaths.
"I'm his Mother… It's my Right too!" Kushina answered. "Kushina… please let me do it…" Minato practically begged her.
"Fine… This is the first Time… I lost an Argument against you… It proves how serious you are…"
"Kushina…" said a sad Voice from behind. No one but Kushina registered it though… she smiled. It seems Kurama is broken free from the Genjutsu…
"Thanks, Kushina." Minato said while smiling. He puts a bit of Blood on the Palm of his Left-Hand starts going through the handsigns. "Summoning Jutsu!"
"Hm?!" Gamatora questioned/said/hm'd. "Whoa! Nine Tails! Lord Fourth what is up with you!"
"Gamatora… I'm going to give you... the 8 Trigrams Seal Key… When I'm done... go straight to Master Jiraiya… And have him take you in…"
"…I understand Lord Fourth… I affirm to have received the Key… and now... I'm off." And with that Gamatora poofs away, returning to Mt. Myoboku.
"Now we're safe…" Minato said to his Wife Kushina. "… Kushina I'm not going to last much longer…" Minato told his Wife before continuing. "… I'm going to launch the Eight Trigrams Seal now… So I can put… some of my Chakra inside of Naruto too!" Minato smiled. "We won't be able to see him for a big amount of time... If you have something to say to him, I recommend you do that now…" Minato chuckled. Knowing his Wife would talk longer than he can last.
"Naruto…" Kushina basically tells him what she says in Canon.
We now go to them dying.
"I'm sorry Minato… I talked too much…" Kushina told Minato while in Tears. "No… No... It's alright Kushina… Naruto my Words to you as a Father… Are the same as Kushina's I guess…" With that Minato smiled for one last time before completing the Eight Trigrams Seal. "EIGHT TRIGRAMS SEAL." and with those final Words, the Kyuubi disappeared into Naruto, with a Seal appearing on the Boys Belly. With the Kyuubi gone and the Eight Trigrams Seal completed Kushina and Minato fall to the Ground. Minato long since Dead because of the Reaper Death Seal while Kushina is still alive, through sheer willpower alone.
Hiruzen and the 2 Jounin by his Side rush inside the now broken Barrier. One checks up on Minato, one on Kushina and Hiruzen checks Naruto. He checks Naruto for any Injuries. After making sure he has none he scoops him up into his Arms and looks towards the 2 Shinobi with him…
The Jounin checking up on Minato shook his head sadly. The Fourth Hokage, Yellow Flash of the Leaf, Minato Namikaze was Dead. He looked towards the ground before turning to the Shinobi at Kushinas Side. The Shinobi looked up with a surprised look on his face and hurriedly shouted for Hiruzen to come. Hiruzen widens his Eyes before rushing towards the 2 hoping he can do at least something to save the Woman, he considered a Daughter. As he arrives he shouts her Name in hope as a Confirmation of her Consciousness. She weakly opened her eyes and looked at Hiruzen with a Smile.
"Hello, Hiruzen… Just the Man I hoped I'd see…" she looked towards Naruto in the old Mans Arms. "...I see you already have Naruto huh…" He nodded "… Hiruzen come here… I want to whisper something in Your Ear. Even though I know these two are your personal Guards, I want to make sure only you know…" Hiruzen nodded, he turned towards the two Shinobi, and without having to say something, they understood. Hiruzen put Naruto on the ground and made short series of handsigns to block out the Hearing of the two Shinobi. He picked Naruto up again and went towards Kushina.
"… In my Kunai Pouch are 2 Scrolls. One contains my and Minato's Last will… Signed by me and Minato… just in Case the Council is getting greedy again hehe…" she chuckled as if she wasn't Deaths Door. "The other one is a Containment Sealing Scroll... It has a Box inside of it, with Items I wish to give to Naruto. I want you to give almost every single one of them, to him when he can talk, walk and think okay?… That could be before the Academy or when he joins it…" She told the elder. She saw him in Tears. Mostly because he knows that she will die. She smiled softly at this Reaction
"Anyways there are 2 Items I want you to give to him when he is Older than that… Inside the Box is a Red Swirled Scroll… It is to be given to him when he reaches the Rank of Genin… The other Item is a Letter on top of the Box. It explains everything that has happened today, that includes his Fathers Identity. I want him to receive that either when he reaches the age of 17 or when he reaches the Rank of Chunin… If you see fit you can also give it to him earlier… But only if he is really and completely ready for it… Understood?" Hiruzen nodded
"Good… Now I can finally join my Clan…Hehehe" She laughed softly before turning silent and limp… Kushina Uzumaki has now officially died. Hiruzen looked sad. Really sad. He can't be sure yet but he saw the State Minato and Kushina was in even before they fought the Kyuubi. That means they fought someone before all of this. All this information makes it possible that his Wife, Anbu Guards, his Wife's Student are also dead…
"Sandaime-sama?" Hiruzen turned to the Voice. It was one of his Guards. He looked at him with concern on his face, after all, he and his Friend heard nothing of the Conversation between Hiruzen and Kushina. He undid the Jutsu on their Ears, making them able to hear again. "Go and inform the Council. We must have a Meeting concerning the Future of the Village and we must assign a new Hokage. Call the Fire Daimyo while you are at it. He is the one who has the final say in the matter after all…" The 2 nodded and shunshin away. Hiruzen looked down at the Boy in his arms…
He smiled. "Well, Naruto… Seems like it is only us… You will have a difficult life, my boy… Targeted by the Civilians and hated by the Shinobi. Don't worry I will protect you though… to the best of my Abilities that is."
…oOo…
The Council Chamber was a Mess. Screaming, shouting, Insults, Crying, Sighs, Silence in some corners, and calm voices with a hint of rage behind them.
"WHERE IS YONDAIME-SAMA!" "WHAT HAPPENED TO YONDAIME-SAMA!" and similar shouts were the most common ones at the moment. The Door to the Chamber opened but nobody paid it mind. They wanted to know where Minato is and what the current situation is.
"The Yondaime is dead…" said a Voice. The Chamber fell dead Silent. No one dared say something. Well… that is until a Civilian decided to open his Mouth. "What do you mean Dead! Who do you think yo-" he stopped himself, as he saw the Person who said it.
It was Hiruzen Sarutobi. The 3rd Hokage. And assigned interim Hokage. "So you finally shut up huh? Anyways…" He walks over to the Seat of the Hokage and sits down. "Minato sadly died tonight. He fought the Kyuubi and defeated it at the Cost of his own Life."
The Council looked horrified. Even the legendary Yellow Flash fell victim to the Nine-Tails. Another Voice spoke up. "What happened to the Nine-Tails." It was Hiashi Hyuga. The Head of the Hyuga. "As far as we know the One up to the Eight-Tails were never able to be killed, only sealed… So what happened to the Nine-Tails?" Hiruzen sighed. He still wasn't mentally prepared for this Part. He knew that he can't keep it a secret. The Nine-Tails is far too big of a Power Source for the Council to just let unnoticed. More specifically the Shinobi Council consisting of the Clan Heads.
"Quite observant aren't you Hiashi?" Hiashi scoffed. He still hated how unprofessionally Hiruzen addressed everyone. "You are correct though. Minato did not kill it. He sealed it. In a newborn."
Shikaku was thinking over all of this in his head. 'This makes no sense. Minato would never sacrifice a New Born. Even if the Village would be destroyed… He just doesn't have the Heart to force a Family to sacrifice their Baby…' "May I ask who this Baby is and where it is Lord Third?" He finally asked. He wanted to confirm something. And he would only be able to do so if he saw the Child.
Hiruzen looked towards him and saw the Look in the Face of Shikaku. He understood automatically what Shikaku was planning. 'Heh leave it to the Jounin Commander to become suspicious huh?'
"You may know of his Name but you may not know what he looks like yet. After all, a New-Born sleeps up to 16 Hours a Day and I'm sure that this Council would disturb that." every Shinobi, even Danzo, sweatdropped. This is what Hiruzen is concerned about?
"His name is Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki to be specific." 'So it is their Child… Heh, Minato you are quite the Fox aren't you? Not only did you hide your Wedding but you also hid the fact that Kushina was pregnant. Well, that is to be expected… but still you could've at least told me…' Shikaku thought.
Alone the fact that the Child's Name was Naruto confirmed his suspicion. He always saw Kushina around the Village but for some reason, she just disappeared from the View about 6 Months prior.
While the Council kept talking about the kid he remained to his train of thoughts.
'12 – 16 Weeks into a Pregnancy and it would start to show… So the moment it started showing he simply put her on "House Arrest" and didn't let her leave huh…' Shikaku concluded.8
"To put aside the Identity of the Child… May I propose something Hiruzen?" a new voice spoke up. It was Danzo Shimura. Hiruzen sighed. He knows what will come now… He tried the same with Kushina after all… "No Danzo you cannot have the child and you will not make it a Puppet okay?" after that Danzo seethed. 'This old Monkey always does what he wants and not what is good for the Village.'
"Shoving that aside, we must begin with the Rebuilding of the Village and we will also have to a new Hokage," Hiruzen informed. Danzo thought it would be a good idea to bring in his own Thoughts but he shall wait for the opportunity to do so. "Sandaime-sama If I may" Shikaku spoke up.
"Seeing as to how this Person was always close to Minato in Strength and even outclassed him in Political Power, I would recommend Fugaku Uchiha." He finished. Everyone in the room fell silent to think about it. Fugaku always was the Rival of Minato when it came to Power and achievements. He even was one of the Candidates for the 4th Hokage Position. "I will take Fugaku into account when choosing. Anyone else?"9 Hiruzen affirmed before repeating his Question. "I would like to recommend Danzo," said Koharu. One of the 2 Elders. Hiruzen sighs "I will take Danzo also into Account when choosing. Anyone else?" The Room stayed silent. "Alright. Then let's go to the next Topic. Repairs of the Village...
We all know that this will cost quite the Money and that means one of the next 2 Things. Either A. We increase the Taxes for Shinobi Mission Money by 40% for the next 5 Years and Civilian Workers by 30% for the next 7 years or B. Clans and Companies will have to pay at least 100 Billion Ryo here and now so the Repairs can begin. There will still be unpaid stuff but that can be repaired over time due to it not being that important…" With that Hiruzen finished and looked around. The People were arguing already.
He sighs. "SILENCE" His Voice boomed through the Chamber. "Alright… Everyone in Favor of Option A raises their Hand." 10 out of 40 Raise their Hand. Mostly rich Civilians who commit Tax Fraud secretly and wouldn't be bothered by this change. "Alright… People in Favor of Option B. Please do the same." 14 People out of 40 Raise their Hands.
"Alright… Only 24 out of 40 Raised their Hands. What about the Rest?" He looked around. Especially at the ones who did not raise their hands. He ignored Shikaku though. He knew that that Man wants to be neutral on this and in the end, would choose the winning option. "Lord Third If I may." Kizashi Haruno spoke up. An ExShinobi and now Civilian Council Member, with Pink Spiky Hair. "Ah, Kizashi. Of course please go on." Hiruzen told the Man.
"I know that this would probably not be the most Moral Idea but couldn't we use the Namikaze, Uzumaki, and Senju Clan's Bank for this? The Namikaze died out today and we don't know of any Uzumaki that are Still Alive. And while Tsunade is still alive, all she does is gamble away her heritage and that money could really be used for the Repairs…" The remaining Council Members who did not Raise their Hands made their Approval clear. After all, if they can avoid using their own Money why not do it.
Danzo spoke up next. "If we are already at the topic Namikaze and Uzumaki. Now that they are practically extinct…" Hiruzen, Fugaku 10, and Shikaku gritted their Teeth at this Mans Greed. It could practically be heard in his Voice
"can we take the Jutsu Scrolls they have? After all, why let them rot to Dust if we can use them to make our Shinobi stronger?" Once again the Civilians made their Approval very clear. Hiruzen spoke up.
"Kizashi while it is probably a good idea to use the Money of someone who cannot use it anyway… it is kind of impossible for us to rob the Senju Account. Not only would Tsunade pound me into the Ground for allowing it but she would also transfer all the Money to a new Account that we wouldn't have any Idea of…" Kizashi nodded. It did make sense and like he said before It was immoral in his State of Mind.
"Now then to the Uzumaki and Namikaze Clan… Minato and Kushina gave ME, Hiruzen Sarutobi full Control over their Accounts but they also specifically forbid the Council from using their Money as Village Funds." Hiruzen said. The Civilians were outraged. Why care what a dead Person said. They need the money right now and should just ignore it. "Sandaime-sama I hope I don't sound insulting but… should we really care? Because right now the Village repairs are more important than someone's Dying Wish." Hiashi tried to reason. Hiruzen nodded. "Well normally I would agree but this is the Fourth HOKAGE and the last Full Blooded Uzumaki, we know of, dying wish…"
The Shinobi side nodded. They understood and respected that Reasoning. "Also you guys did not let me finish…" the council looked at him in confusion at that. "In their last Will, it is stated that if you wish to use the money, then you would need to sign a contract that states that you need to pay the money back in a time range that can be up to 15 years long. On top of the money that would be used you would also need to pay back the Interest it would have gotten from sitting in the Bank unused." The civilians were shocked. It is as if the Fourth and Kushina wanted them to their own Money… oh nooo how unfortunate right greedy civilians? Anyways…
The Shinobi had a satisfied look on their face. They would be okay with paying back the money… All they need to know would be how much the interest would be at the end of the day… If that was an additional 10 Billion or something like that, they won't do it. "How much would the entire Interest be at the end of the Day?" Fugaku asked. Hiruzen looked towards him before answering. "Well… If I am to be honest… I do not know yet." He chuckled before continuing.
"The Uzumaki once had their own Village which rivaled the Leaf and the Cloud in their Budget. After the Destruction, almost 90% of that money came to us along with Kushina who took it. If you then count the Namikaze Account on top of that then you might as well just look at the total Budget of the Leaf and calculate the Interest you would have to pay if you borrow it from there."
The Council was by now on the Ground from the Amount of Shock. Hiruzen just said that those 2 Accounts alone would be enough to fill the complete Budget of Konoha before its Destruction by the Kyuubi. The Council decided then and there that they would not do that and instead just pay the 100 Billion in Advance out of their own Pockets.
"Now then. Danzo you asked me for the Jutsu Scrolls of the 2 Clans… Well to be honest even if I wanted to give them to you, I couldn't" Danzo raised an Eyebrows. "Why not? Don't tell me it is another Point in that Last Will of theirs…"
Hiruzen chuckled. "No no. It is not such a thing. It is just that Kushina was quite paranoid and protective of her Home… So the entire Property owned by her and Minato is plastered with Seals that leave the Decision, of who can enter and who can not, her own." Hiruzen smiled innocently at the Warhawk. 'I already know that I can enter but he doesn't need to know that.'
The Rest of the Meeting was basically just giving out Tasks to the individual Clans and Civilians of the Council. Danzo, the Elders, and the Civilians were Furious though. The Elders and the Civilians because they now had to pay a big amount of money out of their own Pockets and Danzo because he didn't get even a single Jutsu from the 2 Clans.
"Well then… If this is all we needed to discuss then I hereby declare this Meeting for over. You may begin to Leave. Oh and Elders, Danzo and Shinobi?" They turned to him. "I will need you same Time tomorrow to decide the Hokage." They nodded and left.
…oOo…
We are again in the Council Chamber but this Time only the Shinobi Side is here and along with them is the Fire Daimyo and his 5 Advisers. "Very well Sarutobi… We are all Ready. Let me hear your Reasoning for calling me to this Meeting." Hiruzen nodded.
"Of course Daimyo-sama. As you already know Minato died in the recent Attack…" The Daimyo nodded. "Ah yes, Minato-kun. I quite liked the Boy… I'm guessing we are here to discuss the next Hokage?"
Hiruzen nodded in confirmation. "Indeed we are. Our current Candidates are Fugaku Uchiha, the Clan Head of the Uchiha, Danzo Shimura, my old Teammate, and my personal Adviser as well as the Commander of the Anbu Division called Root… and of course I myself. Hiruzen Sarutobi." The Council looked shocked at this. Hiruzen was never mentioned as Hokage Candidate but they guessed he didn't need to be recommended as he already was the Hokage once. "But… I shall only become Hokage if you and the Council see the other 2 not Fit enough to be Hokage." The Daimyo nodded.
After a short discussion about how Fugaku would be the better choice of the 2, the Daimyo made his Decision. "Very well… Fugaku Uchiha… I hereby declare you the Fifth Hoka-." before he can finish Danzo shouted. "NO! We cannot let him become Hokage!" the Council looked confused and Fugaku outraged. "And why is that Adviser Danzo?" The Daimyo asked.
"It is very simple. Hundreds of the Jounin and Chunin that fought the Kyuubi that Night, reported that they saw a Sharingan Eye in the Eye of the Kyuubi. This lead me and the Elders to launch an investigation and we found out that the Tailed Beasts seem to be able to be controlled by the Sharingan Powers. We are lead to believe that Fugaku ordered a Sharingan User to control the Beast and attack the Village so he can eliminate Minato Namikaze and take his Place!" He finished his explanation.
"This is outrageous! How dare you accuse me of such an Act! I was Minato's Best Friend and Rival! Unlike you, who tried to assassinate Minato multiple Times, I have actual Morals!" He ranted.11
"WHAT?! When did I ever try that!" Danzo shouted back. "Oh please. Don't act too innocent. Minato told me multiple times how Anbu of your Division tried to kill him on special occasions. Twice by using Poison. Once by an Ambush on him and twice by trying to make him Explode!"
"Oh yeah? And where is your Prove that, that was me!" Danzo smirked. He knew that they can't prove anything. "Why you!" Fugaku growled. "That is enough!" Hiruzen chimed in. "Danzo. While it is true that the Kyuubi had a Sharingan Eye, you cannot just say that it was Fugaku who did it. For all, we know it was some Traitor in our Ranks or even a Rogue Uchiha… And Fugaku… please refrain from accusing Danzo of such Acts. We have no Prove that he orchestrated or ordered that." Fugaku sighed and sat back down. While Danzo just sat down quietly.
"Very well… Now that you are Done… I can make my Decision." The Daimyo took a Deep Breath before continuing again. "Hiruzen Sarutobi… I hereby declare you the Hokage. You shall take back the Title of Third Hokage and become active again. And before any Questions sound up… Fugaku showed that he would let himself be led by Emotions which is not something fit for a Hokage. And while Danzo would not let that happen, when you look at the Option between Danzo and Hiruzen then Hiruzen is clearly the better Option… Not only has the Village reigned a stable Era over the course of the last 50 years with him as Hokage but he also has more experience and strength than Danzo does. Also, the Shinobi and Civilians respect trust and know Hiruzen. Which isn't something I can say about Danzo. So he would be the more preferred option of the 2."
Danzo widened his Eyes. This is not what he had planned. He wanted to take out Fugaku to secure his own Place. Not make sure that Hiruzen became Hokage. Fugaku on the other Hand understood the Reasoning and accepted it. "Very well Daimyo-sama. I will take back the Hat and I will once again Lead Konohagakure." Hiruzen affirmed the Decision.
And with that, the Meeting was over.
1: I think you know where I am going with this. Unless one of you has a better idea as to how I can make Naruto acquire the Powers of Great Red (when considering his new Found Fear of Ten-Tails and Ophis while being in his weakened state), I will use this Idea.
2: When you continue to read you will see why. After all, take teenage Naruto and photoshop the Ends of his Hair crimson Red. That would look weird as fuck. So yeah I'm taking away the Spikiness.
3: If you need a Reference for that, then take Rengoku Kyojuro to know what I mean with Crimson Red at the ends of the Hair. Of course, he won't look like him but if you need a Hair reference then use him.
4: I mean we saw Sasuke use his Visual Powers to control all 9 Tailed-Beasts. I don't know if that is Rinnegan only but let's just say it isn't and make it possible with the Sharingan. And let's just say Madara used another Tailed Beast again Hashirama. I mean not like it mattered. Kurama did almost nothing in their Fight except being subdued.
5: OC Name for Hinata's Mother. She had no Name in Canon.
6: One may ask why I wrote the Name like that because the Council would find out about his Heritage when reading the Last Will. Well pretty simple. Hiruzen would just mix up a few words when reading the Last Will of the 2 to make it sound less suspicious when it comes to the matter Naruto. It is mainly for later when his Heritage is revealed and he is older.
7: I mean Minato and Kushina are 24 and Kakashi is like 14,15,16 ( I don't know his exact Age. Just in what Age Range he currently is)… Idk about you but I would see them as a Sibling at that Age Difference. Not a Parent.
8: I cannot see Shikaku NOT figuring out who Naruto is… Alone those pieces of information should be enough to figure out the Identity of Naruto in the POV of someone like Shikaku.
9: Fugaku is said to be at the same level of strength as Minato and also was a Candidate for the title of Yondaime. So I wouldn't see any reason to not make him a candidate again.
10: I mean Mikoto is like the only person who knew of the pregnancy besides Obito, Kakashi, the Sarutobi, and of course the Anbu Guards. So she most likely told Fugaku about it.
11: I don't know if this is Canon but in this it is. I don't see why Danzo wouldn't try something fishy with Hiruzen but not Minato seeing as the 2 are practically the same level of Power at THIS point in time. Of course, this does not apply in a few years but at the moment it does…
12. One may ask why I give Naruto all that stuff… Well, I don't know about you but if I knew I would die on the day of my Kids Birth and I still have enough energy to move and restrain a fucking Nine-Tailed Demon, then I would definitely make sure my child has something to make his/her life less depressing. And Kushina literally jumped out of bed and arrived at Minato's Location faster than Hiruzen did. If that ain't proof of her being able to at least prepare a little small box with some items, then I don't know what is.
Also, I apologize for not uploading anything for nearly 2 months. I didn't intend for this to happen. But due to me living with my mother, I can't exactly do what I want and recently my Mother decided I use my Computer too much and now I don't really have that much time to continue writing. In fact, I am only able to write like 3 hours a day because of my Mother. I will write as much as possible every day. So you probably won't have to wait for another month for the next Chapter. And like I said at the Beginning I will most likely rewrite Chapter 1 again just to make it look more appealing. The explanation mid Chapter is one of those things I will need to correct In Chapter 1.
Also if there is any decline in the Quality of the Chapter please tell me so I can fix it… I want the Chapter to be as good as possible when it comes to Quality. Keep in mind that English is my Second Language and not my Mother Language so there could be some mix-up between British English and US English.
Also, I'd like to ask you for your opinion on a OnePiece x Naruto Crossover. I've been reading quite a few but there are always some problems. Most of those problems are personal opinions and preferences but still, I have the will to write an OP x Naruto Crossover.
Anyways this was Chapter 2. I hope you have a great and we will see each other next Chapter so yeah. Cya.
