He had lost. Defeated. The kingdom he built and ruled, crushed. Especially said defeat was handed to him by some naive brat, a brat that was bearing the name of D.

'It's annoying, really. Some snot-nosed, infuriating monkey brat defeated me. I suppose I can take comfort that said monkey brat possessed the characteristics to become a king.' He thought with a bit of respect.

But he couldn't really bring himself to contemplate about his defeat. All he could feel was guilt and regret brought by his failure. Not about his revenge on the Celestial Dragons, but for his family.

Not only he failed to protect them, even though he knew they could handle themselves, but because of not returning in full of what his family gave him. He took everything for granted.

'Vergo, Diamante, Pica, Monet, Trebol, all of you... I'm sorry.'

He knew he was at his last breathe, with the splinters of wood and metal piercing his left lung and his heart, and his sight becoming dull every second, still he could see everything in his 37 year old life flash through his eyes. All the ups and downs he and his family walked through, every little thing his family gave him, he didn't really appreciated it fully until now.

It made him happy and sad at the same time. Happy that he could clearly see that his family cared for him, but also sad because he didn't return it with his family, and he really regret it.

Before death claimed him, he thought 'I know it's late, but like some people say 'better late than never,' so Vergo, Monet, Pica, Diamante, Trebol, everyone... thank you.' As his wounds claimed his life, a smile of happiness and content wormed its way on his face.

Now, Donquixote Doflamingo, also known as the 'Heavenly Demon', 'King of Dressrosa', and the Captain of the Donquixote Pirates, died after a battle of kings.

LINE BREAK*

October 10, a day that should have been full of shouts of happiness and joy, turned out full with screams and yells pain, grief, sorrow and death as a being mostly known as the Nine-Tailed Fox, rampaged through the village called Konohagakure no Sato.

But Doffy didn't know any of that. All he knew was that he was alive, he was in a dark, warm and small place. Doffy didn't know why he's alive, 'considering I got a metal lodged in my heart...' Doffy thought, confused. He tried to use Haki, but exhaustion hit him fast, but he felt some presences. Doffy didn't know many are there, but he got a locked on four presences. All four are close to him, in fact, too close.

It took a moment to register everything that was happening to him right now. He was alive, 'cause he was sure no one can heal someone with a stabbed heart, and, somehow he was a baby. He didn't know if he wanted to laugh, cry or burst ina rampage of anger. 'First, defeated by Strawhat, and now waking up as a baby, tch...'

He also got a clue to all the presences around him. Well, not all of them. The first three are definitely human. Two weak presence alongside a strong one, 'guess it's my mother and siblings, and we're a triplets huh...' he thought with dull amusement.

He didn't know what to make of the last one. It was strong, suppressed, and definitely not human. It was powerful and full of anger, but he coudn't think of something resembling a presence like that. Before he could continue his analysis, he felt sleepy. Deciding to dwell on it in the near future, he'll wait until he was reborn, becauae right now, Doffy got his first battle. 'This is gonna be irritatingly boring!' Doffy grumbled as sleep claimed him.

LINE BREAK*

After an excruciatingly long time, Doffy knew it was time. He felt the precense of his siblings, his mother whose feeling some discomfort right now, and the Unknown.

Its presence was getting stronger as well, the prison containing It was weakening but still in place.

Doffy didn't know how long the time passed, but when he came to the world he knew he's the first. Voices of a women shouting and a man yelling something was the first thing hit his ears, though he coudn't make out of it, soon followed by a sound of crying 'it's my siblings...'.

Soon the screams increased, but in a different tone. It was filled with anger and panic. Using Kenbunshoku as best as he could, he felt all the familiar auras of his parents, siblings, and nurses. There was a foreign one Doffy didn't know and a couple of nurse that was currently dying.

Doffy didn't know what was happening, and there was nothing he could do but cry.

The next thing Doffy knew, he felt he was tossed in the air and then dizziness hit him, sending him into unconsciousness.

LINE BREAK*

Doflamingo woke up crying due to the malevolent presence that, even though he could barely see, was in front of him. It was something full of anger and hate aim towards anything and everything. The same he had that was aimed towards the Celestial Dragons.

Activating his Haki, he could feel the auras of his siblings, his parents and someone he's familiar but currently didn't know.

The next thing Doffy felt was that the huge being was being forced inside him, a burning deeling in his stomach, 'though it felt considerably weaker. The same with my siblings but much stronger, and what the hell is this aura of death?!' He coudn't dwell on his thoughts much longer as unconsciousness claimed him again.

LINE BREAK*

Minato Namikaze, the Yondaime Hokage, stood in front of the citizens alongside his wife, Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze, and his predecessor, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Minato started his speech, words of sympathies, condolences, and reassurances given to the people. He took a deep breathe, preparing himself to say another thing that would bring huge consequences to his children.

"Another thing, my beloved citizens, the Demon Fox that us this tragedy was now stopped. Stopped by the real heroes of this day. By dividing the body of the Kyuubi, I sealed the Yin and Yang chakra of the demon inside Mito and Menma, with a better purpose it said chakra to keep the peace in our village and hopefully the whole world. While the powerless soul was sealed inside my eldest son, Naruto, keeping it from regaining its power and holding the beast at bay.

"You may consider me the hero tonight, but I am saying this right now. My children was the real savior of the village, the real heroes of Konohagakure no Sato!" Minato finished. Shouts of gratitude and praises rang through the air and Minato couldn't help but close his eyes and released a sigh of relief, seemingly satisfied of how things went despite the crisis the village stopped.

While his eyes were closed, he didn't saw the looks of hatred and vengance etched in the eyes of most of the villagers aimed at Naruto, silently promising of blood and revenge.
