This is a special chapter for you all. It is short one as it covers event that have yet to happen in the story. Sorry it took so long but I kept on trying to get this chapter to be just right. Remember to review. Enjoy

Minato looked out from the balcony of his fortress with a sinister grin. Earlier today the last of the rebel ninja were defeated and captured. Looking down to the arena floor he could see the battered forms of the rebel Konoha ninja, along with Kiri, Kumo, Iwa, and Suna ninja. Along with them were ninja from several minor villages and Samurai from the land of Iron.

The rain pelted down with a vengeance as the conquered were gazed upon by the tyrant. Minato's men surrounded the area, making sure that none of the captured ninja could escape, even though death. The people of the conquered nations were all around in seats, forced to attended the glorious ending of the forth shinobi war, with Minato's Konoha the victorious winner.

Beckoning his hand, several ninja brought before him the leaders of the alliance. His eyes swept over the beaten and bloody forms until they stopped at two forms that made him grin. Pointing to the two, a dark haired woman and a red head, he had his ninja drag them before him. "**** and *****, how nice to see you two. Fate has seen to it that you have returned to your master. It is only fitting that you are here now, before your lord and master in defeat. Now, knee before me and all will be forgiven and you both shall be my concubines for only my pleasure."

"We will never kneel before you." The dark haired woman said as she spited into his eye. The red head nodded as she hissed at Minato as he wiped the spite from his eye. Grasping his sword, he beheaded the dark hair female causing a spray of blood to cover the red head and the people closest to her. Minato avoid the blood spray by leaning to the side.

A cry of outrage came from some where that Minato could not identify. Putting it aside, he rasied his sword to the red head to execute her when the arena doors were forced open. Dust filled the areana from the force of the opening and Minato covered his eyes to avoid being blinded. The prisoners were moved off to the sided, clearing a pathway to the doorway to the platform. His elite guards formed in front of the Hokage to defend him from whoever or whatever knocked down the doors.

As the dust cleared a form began to take shape. Minato lifted his eyebrow in surprise and laughed as a boy in strange armor walked into the arena. "Who are you boy to enter this place? You must be a madman for a fool to come here."

The boy said nothing and started forward. A feeling of unease rippled though Minato as the boy slowly walked towards him. Several ANBU appeared around the boy but were cut down within seconds from a blade that was hidden under the boys robes, which the boy threw off himself. He was adored with amour never before seen in the Elemental nations that was golden and silver in color. Instead of a boy, there was a young man who's face told of experience of leading campaigns and fighting on a battle field for years and emerging victorious.

He raised his sword, a thing of beautiful craftsmanship, as many could see that it was forged by a master of the craft of untold proportions. The tip was aimed at Minato and the man spoke in a voice that was garbled and unclear. The man's features were like the rising heat off sand. The only clear details were of the sword and the strange image on his chest plate. It was of a snake haired woman with her mouth open and eyes full of anger. Every time Minato's eyes landed there he flinched ever so slightly; as only his training and experience kept him from running.

Suddenly multiple explosions rocked the arena and in seconds, fighting began everywhere as an unknown army attacked. The man suddenly appeared in front of Minato with his weapon raied for an over head blow. Minato grasped and drew his weapon to block the attack. His guards were unable to defend him as they were assaulted by a trio of silver wearing girls armed with hunting knifes.

Minato gritted his teeth as the armored man's golden/chakra metal blade struck his weapon. All around him his army was fighting for their lives as they were over run. Using his Hiraishin no Jutsu, he flashed away to catch his breath. The armored man, however, was prepared as he attacked without hesitation. Metal clash with metal was both men fought to the death.

Minato cursed as the man's blade cut his forehead over his left eye followed by a sucker punch to his gut. Minato used his downward motion to impale the man's leg with a kunai. Only the man's reflexes allowed the blow to be only a minor, not a major one.

"Who are you?" Minato asked as the duo crossed blades again and again. The silence that greeted him only added to a terror that was bubbling from somewhere in the depths of his soul. Suddenly, Minato found him self running away from the man. As he ran, everything stated to melt away and darkness stated to grow at the edges of his vision. He ran and ran, and even though he told himself to stop and fight, his body would not listen.

Al of a suddedn, Minato stumbled. Looking down he noticed that the ground was turning into mud and try as he might he could not escape. A shadow fell over him and when he looked up, he saw the man, now a giant over him, weapon raised high. His eyes widedn as the weapon raced towards him and...

Bong Bong

Minato shot up from the bed looking around. His wife was next to him asleep. The ringing of the tower bell filled the air, giving the time of the early morning. mikoto strirred and truned towars her hisband. "Is something wrong dear?"

"No," he began, "It's nothing, caused a bad dream. Go back to sleep." Mikoto nodded sleepily and went back to her dreams. Minato looked out the window as the ringing of the bell faded away. "It was only a dream."

...

Far away three old ladies were looking towards the land that was know as Konoha. "Soon Minato, soon." the trio spoke as one as they did their respected duties. "You and your family shall pay in blood, as the sins of your forefathers come undone. The swirling tides will eat the darken fire, and soon your line shall expire. As blood betrayed, blood will repay the price that was laid."

So here it is your special chapter. Review or be forced to wait. MAWHAHAHA
