Author's Note: Hey guys this is my firAuthor's Note: Hey guys this is my first ever story so sorry if it's kind of bad. I just want to get some things cleared up. First of all in this fic Naruto and Itachi will be the same age which means that they will be placed on the same team. I plan on having a prodigy/Mokuton/strong sensor Naruto and might possibly have him have a harem. Also Naruto won't have the Nine Tails sealed into him, his younger siblings will. Second thing is that Minato and Kushina won't have perished during the day the Nine Tails was released. I'll try my best to make this story interesting and if there is anything that you guys feel I need to know just post a comment, if it's helpful feedback I will try to use it to the best of my abilities.

THANK YOU!
Chapter 1
It was a quiet, but important night in the Village Hidden in the Leaves. For many it was just a regular day but for the Namikaze-Uzumaki family today was the day that their third and fourth child would be born. Naruto, their eldest, was not present if in the event that something went wrong he would be safe. Not many knew this but the Kyubi or Nine Tailed Fox, a beast so fearsome that it is said to be able to topple over mountains with a swipe of a single tail, was in the village for many years. It was first captured by the first Hokage Hashirama Senju after his battle with Madara Uchiha at what is now known as the Valley of the End and later sealed into his own wife, Mito Uzumaki, by herself. A few decades passed and on her deathbed Mito had needed someone new to seal the Kyubi into. A young red-headed girl, Kushina Uzumaki, was brought from the now destroyed village which was formerly known as the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools to have the Kyubi sealed inside of her and shortly after the sealing ritual was over Mito had died and in her place was a new jinchuriki. Many years passed and this same girl had grown into a strong, beautiful, fierce and compassionate had gained the respect of many of her comrades through her skill and determination and had even married the love of her life whom she ended up having a kid with. Throughout all of this very few knew of her secret and even fewer knew of the complications that arose when they gave birth. What people didn't know was that during the time that they delivered the baby, the seal would weaken to the point where the beast could easily escape and because of this extra precautions had to be taken to avoid this event becoming a possibility.
It is because of this that Kushina's husband, Minato Namikaze also known as the Fourth Hokage, was by her side along with his former teacher, Jiraiya of the Legendary Sannin. While those two were checking the seal, Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin was the one who was helping her deliver the baby.
"All right Kushina just a little more and the first baby will be out."
"AAAARRRGGGHHHH," Kushina, in pain, kept pushing the baby until it came out.
Tsunade quickly took the crying baby and handed him to Minato who quickly made a clone to hold the baby while he kept checking the seal. The baby boy had his mother's red hair and was pale like his mother was.
"All right, just one more kid to go, are you ready Kushina?"
Kushina, clearly exhausted, just nodded before getting a look of determination on her face and redoubling her efforts. Soon the second baby came out and everyone noticed that it was a girl and unlike her brother that just came out she had her father's hair and skin color. Tsunade took the baby girl and handed her to Minato's shadow clone.
Minato and Jiraiya were tightening the seal once more while Minato's clone started to speak to the baby, "You two are just the cutest things ever. I can't wait for you to meet your older brother Naruto he absolutely love you tw-" *poof* Everyone looked up immediately, sensing a foreign presence that was not there a few seconds ago. The man, who was dressed in a black robe with a spiral shaped mask, had bypassed the Anbu outside, came into the room, destroyed the Fourth Hokage's shadow clone and was now holding the newly born Namikaze-Uzumaki children.
"Why, Fourth Hokage you're right they are just the cutest things ever," the person started, voice dripping with sarcasm, "they look just like their parents. Too bad they'll never get to see their parents," said the man dangerously while finally looking at everyone in the room. Immediately everyone noticed his red eyes and the same thought ran through all their minds at the same time, 'Sharingan?!'
"KAI," Everyone had sensed the genjutsu that they were put under the moment that they looked into his eyes.
"Look whoever you are, you are making a big mistake, hand the babies over and you won't have to feel my wrath," said the Fourth Hokage barely containing his anger.
"I don't think I like that idea. I think I'll do THIS!" He quickly threw both kids with all his might in opposite directions.
Minato threw a three-pronged kunai and appeared next to and caught the baby girl. Jiraiya had acted quickly and was able to catch the baby boy. Tsunade has not stayed idle and furiously rushed the masked man. Upon arriving right in front of him she threw one of her legendary chakra coated punches at the man's head and what happened next shocked everyone. Her punch seemed to go through him, almost as if he was a clone. The masked man had ran past her and had managed to grab Kushina, Minato immediately threw a kunai with the Hiraishin formula on it at the man and disappeared in a tremendous speed before reappearing in front of the man to slash at his throat only for the kunai to go right through him just like Tsunande's punch went right through him. This time he was not as shocked as the first time it happened so when the masked man went to throw a front kick he was able to dodge the incoming hit by jumping back. This was all the time the man needed to vanish from existence with Kushina as his hostage, "The Kyubi vessel will be mine."
"How did this happen, almost no one in our own village knows about Kushina being the Jinchuriki?" Was all Jiraiya said.
"I do not know but whatever this is I will get to the bottom of it even if it is the last thing I'll do."
Jiraiya looked at him quickly, "Minato hold on a minute you have to stay level-headed. You have three kids now and you are the leader of this village. You have too many responsibilities for you to just throw your life away like that."
Minato, agreeing with what Jiraiya said, tried his best to calm himself down.
"Good, now does Kushina not have anything with the Hiraishin formula on her?"
Minato thought for a second before his eyes went wide, "Of course, I put a seal on the wedding ring I gave her. You two stay with the kids and I will go pursue the masked man." Jiraiya and Tsunade nodded knowing very well that Minato would be able to hold his own. Minato gave his daughter to Tsunade before nodding to her and Jiraiya. "I'll be back in a flash." A few seconds passed and Minato had not moved anywhere.
"What's wrong Minato?" Minato was just as puzzled as Jiraiya and Tsunade. "I… I honestly don't know." Minato had put his hands in his pocket in defeat when his hand touched something smooth in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw that it was Kushina's ring.
"All hope isn't lost yet. Is there no other seal formula that Kushina has on her?" Aked Jiraiya.
"She has one seal near her right wrist that has a kunai with the formula on it. If she can reach it and unseal the kunai and she is nearby I can sense it and teleport to it, if it is too far then she needs to throw it on the floor with a bit of her chakra and then I would be able to sense her."
"All we can do now is have faith in her." said Jiraiya with a solemn face.
"Minato, Kushina is a strong woman and I am sure that even in a tired, weakened state she would be able to hold her own." Reaffirmed Tsunade.
(In an Unknown Part of the Village)
A tired Kushina could only look on as the man had her bound by what seemed to be a location just outside of the Leaf Village. "What are you planning on doing, you bastard?"
"Jinchuriki-chan, why are you so rude to me? I never once raised my hand to hurt you," He said in sarcasm.
"When these ties break I'll make sure to give you a new one!" She yelled in anger.
"Yes you probably would try but I can guarantee that it will never happen. Your leader couldn't even touch me, what makes you think you could?" He said now closer examining her seal.
Kushina for once was at a loss for words. Eventually the man started touching the seal and Kushina started thrashing with all her might hoping to break the chains that had her in place. She knew that she could not break the chains physically and had instead opted to distract him so that when he let his guard down she would hopefully be able to skewer him with her Adamantine Sealing Chains.
She yelled and thrashed and right when she thought his guard was down and she finally attacked. Eight golden glowing chains came from her back and all went after the man. He acted quickly and gained some distance from her. Kushina produced two more chains that cut off the chains that were holding her. She took a mental note of her chakra levels and noticed that they were unusually low, birthing two kids while also holding back the mightiest of the tailed beast with her chakra had taken its toll on her and she knew that she would not put up much of a fight, however, she had enough chakra to unseal the three-pronged kunai Minato had given her and throw it into the ground. Just as she was bringing her left hand to her right wrist the man had appeared right in front of her and was now grabbing her by the throat.
"Jinchuriki-chan I did not want to do this, but you forced my hand." Kushina was about to draw chakra from the nine tails when the man bit his fingers and did a familiar hands-sign. "Summoning Jutsu." She immediately felt it. She fell to her knees in a great amount of pain while the Kyubi was being forced out of her. The man now started laughing maniacally, "Hahahaha, the Nine Tails is MINE!"
*poof*
"RRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRR!" Screamed the Nine Tailed Fox as it was released from the seal. Kushina was hit with a great trepidation as she saw the beast analyze its surroundings.
"Mighty Kyubi No Kitsune, raze the Village Hidden in the Leaves to the ground." When it heard this the Nine Tailed Fox snarled and quickly swiped it's paw at the man who once again vanished only to appear on the beast's muzzle. "Ok, let's try this again." Now staring into its eyes he said, "Demon Nine Tailed Fox destroy the Hidden Leaf Village." The fox did not move for a second before it looked around for a few seconds and started walking in the direction of the village. The man was in so much glee that he almost failed to notice how Kushina was once again reaching for her wrist. "I'm sorry but I can't let you do that. If you were to summon your husband here my plans could be in great trouble." He ran at her and Kushina jumped back.
She knew she was in no condition to fight but she had to. "I will stop you here and now if it's the last thing I do dattebane!" She yelled with determination."
(Back in the Village)
Everyone, child or adult, had sensed a foul presence as soon as the Kyubi was unsealed. Being briefed about the situation by his students, the Third Hokage and the Legendary Sannin rallied up the shinobi force and tasked them with bringing every civilian to the Hidden Leaf Village's bunker and then reporting back to him when every civilian was safe.
A few minutes later every active shinobi had reported to the Hokage. "I am aware that you have all sensed the presence." Everyone nodded. "What you are sensing is the Nine Tailed Demon Fox. It is on its way to the village and although I may like to believe that it is friendly, I am reasonable enough to say it's not. Although the Fourth Hokage is not present, fear not, he will be with us shortly. We will defend the village with our last breath so that the next generation of the Village Hidden in the Leaves will be able to see another day. "
The next few minutes were spent in silence and then they saw it. The beast was humongous and very intimidating.
"Everyone fire at my command." The Third Hokage had made 4 clones that each went around and gathered those of similar chakra nature together and would group them up so that elements that worked together would be close to each other to maximize the damage that they could do to the beast. "FIRE!"
Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough
Water Release Severing Waves
Lightning Release: Ball of Lightning
Earth Release: Ground Shaking Technique
The ground around the fox started shaking and as a result it lost its footing before it was hit with a barrage of fused jutsus. Smoke filled the area and for a few seconds the people of the Leaf thought that they had stopped the beast before one tail peered through the smoke and all hell broke loose. Uchihas had been sent flying all over the place and it had destroyed a few buildings. The Hyuga and Inuzuka came charging at the beast and did little damage before either being stopped and killed or being sent flying due to its mighty roar. The Nine Tailed Fox angrily ran towards where most shinobi were situated.
"Summoning Jutsu: Food Cart Destroyer." A giant toad had fallen from the sky and fallen on the best which stopped its advances. This was only momentarily as the fox forced itself up and then rammed the toad with its head. It swung its claws at the toad who unsheathed his blade and parried the attack before slashing at the fox's chest. The fox reeled back in pain.
"Summoning Jutsu." A large snake had slithered and wrapped itself around the fox and was constricting it tightly. The toad took this opportunity to run at the fox once again. The fox seeing the incoming danger forcefully removed the snake from itself and used it as a whip to hit the toad and send him flying once more. He then bit the snake's body off and threw the head towards the toad.
The toad caught it and weaved through hand-signs, "Water Release: Water Bullet Jutsu." The fox had raised an arm to shield itself against the jutsu and while it was distracted the snake who had grown its massive body back whipped it's legs from under it and while the fox was down it whacked it across the face with its tail. Jiraiya took advantage of this situation and jumped on top of the toads head. "Bunta oil, Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet."
Orochimaru had seen a chance to help and took it, "Wind Release: Great Breakthrough."
What came next was a raging inferno. People who were meters away could feel the immense heat that came from the jutsu collaboration. When it was over there was a big cloud of smoke. Many were breathing in relief before the Fox now with charred skin ran at the toad and with a swift swipe of its claw cut him up near his left eye. "Gah! You bastard." *poof*
"Damn it looks like Gamabunta went back home." Said Jiraiya.
The snake had opted to go underground and was quickly bringing its head above ground long enough to bite the fox and it would inject poison into it everytime. However the poison was having no effect and soon the fox got the timing down and was able to grab the snake's head. It was about to bite and swallow its head whole before the snake also dispelled itself.
"There goes Manda." Orochimaru said.
The entire time that the two summons were fighting the fox, Tsunade had brought out her own summon to heal those who had sustained damage. Katsuyu the slug had divided a part herself into smaller slugs and those parts were healing others. Even though it was a bit smaller than her normal size due to splitting up, she was still taller than anyone else around and as such was the next target of the Kyubi.
The Third Hokage stepped up, "Summoning Jutsu: Monkey King Enma." The Monkey King had appeared and with one look at the Hokage and one look at the fox he knew what he needed to do. "Transformation: Adamantine Staff." He turned into a black bo-staff and as the Nine Tailed Fox was rushing toward Katsuyu, Hiruzen had grabbed the Staff and Swung it with great force at the nine tails and it forced him back. He swung it again and this time it sent him flying while also going through buildings in the process. "Hiruzen why is the Kyubi running free, where is Minato and what happened to Kushina?"
"I do not know what their situation is at the moment."
"Hmmm, I see very well then we will fight the Kyubi until they show up."
"How long has it been since you and I have fought together like this?"
"Very long."
They then jumped back into the action to help out Tsunade and a Choza Akimichi who were both wrestling the fox.
"Jiraiya, can you not seal the fox yourself?" Questioned Orochimaru.
"I would if we would be able to subdue the fox but so far we have thrown everything at it and we have had no luck. Hopefully when Minato gets here we can seal it."
Orochimaru nodded and leapt back into the action.
(Back With Kushina)
For the last few minutes Kushina and the masked man had been going at it with Kushina having no luck. She was now tired and bloodied from various cuts that the man had inflicted on her body.
"How about I put you out of your misery," he said calmly as another one of her chains phased through him. She collapsed on her knees in exhaustion. "You will most likely be dying soon anyways due to the extraction so as my final act of kindness to you I'll kill you right here and now." He took the pointy end of the chain and was bringing it down alarmingly fast towards her heart.
In her last moments Kushina let a few tears come out at the thought that she would not be there for her kids and her husband. However, a flash caught her attention and she opened her eyes to the sight of her husband holding the man's arm and quickly punching him with some force that he was sent flying. His normally blue eyes were now yellow with a horizontal pupil. "Kushina-chan are you ok?"
"Minato-kun, I am so glad to see you," said Kushina as she was rapidly coming in and out of reality. "I think the exhaustion from holding back the Kyubi and birthing the kids along with it being forced out of me has finally caught up with me."
"You have endured enough Kushina-chan, for now, please rest." He made a shadow clone, handed Kushina to him and then they were gone in a flash.
He now turned his attention to the man knowing what he must do. No words were spoken before Mianto had run at the man with greater speeds than he had before. The man was only safe due to his phasing ability. Thinking he was open the man swung his chain at Minato who dodge it and grabbed it and pulled the man forward. A blue ball had appeared in Minato's hand and as he went to ram it into the man's face he once again phased through his attack. This time instead of running away the man turned on him and threw another chain. Minato dodged to the right as it flew just past his head once more. He once again grabbed the chain and brought the man in. He charged another ball of chakra but this time he faked a thrust and as the man phased through his attack once more he was ready and quickly turned to see the man attempting to stab him in the back. However when the man saw Minato turn he phased once more and this time retreated. Minato now had a smirk on his face and went on the offensive. He was forcing the masked man to keep phasing in and out of his attacks and he started to notice that the masked man's attacks had become erratic. He rushed him straight on and threw his kunai while once again forming that same blue ball of chakra, it once again phased through the masked man. The man thinking he was too close to miss his next attack was in glee. "You lose!"
"Flying Raijin Level 2, Rasengan," It all happened so quickly that the flying man did not know what happened. One second the Fourth Hokage was in front of him and he was about to kill the man and the next he felt a pain in his back that was unlike any other pain he had felt before.
He tried his best and was able to gain distance from the Fourth Hokage but this was only momentarily as Minato once again flashed on him, "Flying Raijin Level."
The man just looked down clearly confused and then realized what happened. Sealing formula appeared on his body and he realized what happened.
"With this the Kyubi no longer is under your command."
The man once again jumped back. "I must commend you Fourth Hokage. You have foiled my plans for now. But I will be back and will regain control of the Nine Tails once more." Were the last words he said before just like before he phased out of reality.
(Somewhere Else in the Village)
Said blond was currently in the bunker under the Hokage monument with his older brotherly figure Kakashi Hatake and his best friend Itachi Uchiha who was holding a little bundle that contained his newly born brother Sasuke Uchiha.
In the short three years of his life Naruto had never felt like he did right now. The stress of the foul presence of the Nine Tailed Fox along with the stress of worrying for his family had him overwhelmed and shortly after his senses had become overloaded and he could feel thousands of different signatures all around him while also feeling an immense amount of dread coming off of those signatures, which is why he is seen hyperventilating.
"Naruto, Naruto," yelled a worried 16 year old Kakashi as he shaked Naruto like his life depended on it. "What is it?!"
"Make it stop please."
"Speak to me Naruto what is it that you're feeling?" Asked a frantic Kakashi.
"Everything… everyone. I feel the people as they tire themselves out and I feel their emotions as they sink into sadness and despair."
A now wide-eyed Kakashi was frozen. His little brother seems to be a sensor, a powerful one at that. But SENSING EMOTIONS? THAT WAS UNHEARD OF! Lucky for him no one nearby seemed to be paying attention apart from his rival, Might Guy, and his little brother's best friend Itachi Uchiha. If it wasn't for the dire situation he would be congratulating him but seeing as his brother needed him, he put his current thoughts at the back of his mind and tried to comfort him.
Kakashi immediately pulled his leaf head protector back and forced his brother to look him in the eyes. Seconds later Naruto's breathing evens out and Kakashi loosens his grip on him.
"Kakashi what did you do to Naruto?" asked a confused Itachi. One moment Naruto was panicking and the other moment he was relaxed, so relaxed that he... fell asleep?
Kakashi gave Itachi a strong look before his facial features softened, "Look Itachi I know that Naruto trusts you so consider that the only reason I'm telling you this..."
Itachi nodded.
"Naruto seems to be a sensor, a powerful one at that. Now I know what you may be thinking, why am I being so secretive about this development. All I can see is that while we may be the leaves that bask in the glow of the sun, there are roots that grow in the dark. You will get it one day."
At this point Guy let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. He thought Kakashi was revealing too much information and was about to reveal more to an abnormally bright kid for his age.
Guy knew very well who those roots were, after all he had interacted with a couple during his missions during the Third Shinobi World War and he knew that they meant business.
Itachi was still confused but noticing Kakashi's serious tone decided to drop the conversation and go back to trying to get his baby brother Sasuke to stop crying. Itachi was no sensor himself but he could feel an evil presence surrounding him that made him certain that this same presence was what was affecting his brother. He could only pray that this ominous presence was somehow eliminated.
(Back with the Shinobi Force)
The Minato clone had appeared and for a second everyone's spirits were lifted. They saw him quickly speak with Tsunade before they disappeared in a flash. Confusion ran through everyone but they kept fighting nonetheless.
Currently the entire Nara clan had the beast held in their Shadow Binding Jutsu with help from Jiraiya's Swamp of the Underworld to keep the beast in place to stall for time.
The beast then did something odd, it stopped thrashing for a second almost as if it was confused at what was happening before redoubling its efforts. It broke free easily and once again charged at the shinobi force. The Third Hokage was the one to step up and with his staff was able to push it away far enough that they could start running. The beast then looked up and opened it's maw wide. Everyone's hearts fell. Some were crying, others were in despair saying "it's over" repeatedly. That's when the Third Hokage fiercely commanded his shinobi to his side. "Everyone who knows earth jutsus, make the biggest sturdiest wall of earth that you can muster, everyone else feed those who know earth techniques you chakra.
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall."
Uchiha's with their Sharingan active had copied the hand-signs and also helped, "Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall."
Jiraiya had put up a strong barrier at the front of the earth walls.
"Summoning: Triple Rashomon," a trio of gates rose up in front of Orochimaru right behind the earth walls.
By this time the fox had fully charged up his attack and everyone shook in fear at the size of the condensed purple ball of chakra. It then swallowed the ball and in a split second opened its mouth and fired the technique known as the Tailed Beast Bomb.
Immediately the barrier went down… and so did the earth walls… and so did the first gate, the second gate put up a bit more resistance before it fell too. The last gate was the last line of defence and it was being strained before it started budging. Once again everyone's spirits were down once more. And with that the final gate went down as well.
*flash*
Out of nowhere the Fourth Hokage appeared and sucked the blast into his kunai. A few kilometers away the explosion was seen. There was silence as even the fox itself was astonished at the prowess the Fourth Hokage possessed. Then, not even a minute later, everyone started cheering.
"It's Lord Fourth!"
"He's come to save us!"
"You're our only hope Fourth Hokage!"
The Fourth Hokage threw a Kunai at the fox and teleported on to it. He then, along with the fox, vanished.
A few seconds later he returned, now in his normal appearance, grabbed Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and the Third Hokage and disappeared once more.
(With the Fourth Hokage)
They had reappeared on top of the beast's head and quickly dismounted. Minato while in the air made a shadow clone and Orochimaru had summoned Manda once more.
The clone disappeared and reappeared with Tsunade and Kushina in tow.
"Kushina-chan we will have to seal the beast inside of our newly born twins."
A single tear escaped Kushina's eyes knowing how hard a Jinchuriki's life could be but she did not argue knowing that there was no other option. As she was now if she attempted to seal the beast back in itself she would probably die and then the beast would be released once more.
"Summoning Jutsu: Food Cart Destroyer," Gamabunta appeared again and this time he was brought down at an even greater speed so when he made contact with the fox he lodged it into the ground. That's when Manda tightly constricted himself while Kushina had sent hundreds of chains out to secure the fox in place.
"6 Point Seal," they were all consumed by lines and were spread out so that the lines were symmetrical.
"Forced Splitting Jutsu," All six yelled out. It was at this time that the summons dispelled themselves. While this happened they could see the Kyubi's form shifting and soon enough it was split and there were two foxes, one a shade lighter and the other a shade darker, instead of one. "Eight Trigrams Seal." Soon enough the two foxes were both sealed into both of the newborn children.
They then gathered near Minato who flashed them back to the village. And the crowd that was waiting silently for their leader to return back was in silence for a few seconds until from the darkness of the night the villagers saw their leader, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze himself emerge alongside his wife, Kushina Namikaze Uzumaki, the Toad Sannin, Jiraiya, the Legendary Medic, Tsunade Senju, The Snake Sannin, Orochimaru and the God of Shinobi, the Third Hokage with what appeared to be two bundles, one in the hand of the Fourth Hokage and one in the hands of his wife. Everyone cried tears of joy as alas the mighty beast was defeated and the village Hidden in the Leaves... was once again victorious.
Author's Note: Whew, there goes chapter 1. Honestly i felt like it was kind of bad but for a first chapter was decent, which is why i humbly ask to whoever may read this to PLEASE give me some feedback on this chapter will probably show some Naruto and Itachi bonding and the appearance of the village that one of the females that will be paired with Naruto will come from ;).
Edit: I decided to come back and update this chapter as I felt like it was poorly written. I might also be rewriting some stuff in the next few chapters.
