Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto. I only own my soul and that doesn't do me any good.

Author's notes: I decided to write this after I woke up. Any mistakes in here are because it was about 1:09 P.M. so I am very sleepy. I know that waking up at the time I did is insane but still, this is me we are talking about. Well I'll shut up and get with the story now. When it is italicized that means that those are events that are taking place in the past. Bold is the Kyuubi talking.

End to a curse

"Monster! Get the hell away from my son you freak!" Naruto just ignored the man. It wasn't like this was the first time he had been yelled at and called a monster. He looked down at the little boy who had previously fallen and now had a scrape on his knee, crying profusely. "Hey kid, it will be ok. You're strong so don't let a little cut get to you. Do you want the others to think you're weak?" Naruto asked the child who was now starting to stand. "No. I want to be strong." "Well, you're already strong, but you need to prove it to them. Otherwise they will never stop babying you." Naruto said, pointing to the boy's parents. Said parents had just made their way over to their son and were picking him up. "Son, Mommy wants you to promise never to go near that disgusting monster again." As she said this the mother of the boy was glaring at Naruto with the all famous 'die you fucking freak' look.

Naruto just stood and walked away not wanting to cause more trouble, besides, he had to meet Kakashi for training. While he wasn't the first person to the meeting spot on the ever popular bridge, he wasn't exactly the last. No, that position was held by Kakashi, their silver-haired, one- eye-showing, jounin sensei.

It was probably about two or three hours later that Kakashi had appeared, but before his arrival Naruto had gotten himself a pretty good bump on the head from when Sakura hit him for saying something bad about Sasuke. The raven haired Uchiha had been staring at Naruto which had really been pissing him off, so of course he had to say something about that but sadly, not even five seconds after the insult left his lips, his pink-haired crush hit him on the head, and it hurt pretty damn bad.

"Sorry I'm late. I was on my way here but a black cat crossed my path and seeing as how black cats cause bad luck, I didn't want to become unlucky, therefore I had to find a new path here. You'd never believe how many paths there are though. And that is why it took me so long." Kakashi said smiling underneath his mask. "LIAR!!!" Both Sakura and Naruto shouted, seeing as how nothing the jounin ever told them, when it came to being late, was true. "Well, anyway today's mission has been canceled. See ya later." And in a puff of smoke he was gone. "That Bastard dares to wake me up for nothing? The nerve he has!" The blond yelled as he began walking away, cursing the jounin that had left. "Shut up dobe." Sasuke calmly said rubbing his temples in annoyance. "You shut up Sasuke bastard!"

After many minutes of insane insults flying around by the two boys in team 7, they finally split up and Naruto made his way home. Just like on his way to the meeting spot, Naruto was glared at by several villagers and their children, who over the years had began to look at the blond in the same way because of their parent's influence. Naruto just ignored it and entered his apartment, closing the door with a sigh. "It's not my fault I'm like this."

"Yondaime-sama! The Kyuubi has reached the Konoha border!" an ANBU named Caine yelled at the Hokage. "I want you to take care of it Caine; until my son is born I am not leaving this hospital." Uzumaki Arashi, or Yondaime Hokage to the villagers, said, despair in his voice. "Yes sir." Caine replied, as he left the young hokage alone with his wife, who was now giving birth to their son.

As the nurse was handing Arashi his child, the newborn began to wail. "Hush. Your daddy is here." the blond said, trying to comfort his son. "Arashi. I'm not going to make it." Uzumaki Hikaru said, smiling at how gentle her husband was with their newborn son. Arashi looked at his wife, and although he knew it to be true, that she would indeed die, he didn't want to believe it. "Don't say such things Hikaru. You will live, I just know you will. You have to. If not for me then at least do it for our son." Tears were now falling from the Hokage's eyes. "Naruto. His name is Naruto." Hikaru stated gently touching her husband's cheek. Before Arashi could comment, she died.

When her hand fell from his cheek and hit the bed in front of him, he just couldn't take it anymore. Arashi cried like he'd never cried before on that night.

It was only when he remembered the Kyuubi that he stood. Looking down at his son he knew what he had to do. His son would become the container of the demon that was destroying the village just outside these four walls that were keeping him and Naruto Safe. "I'm sorry, my son, but this is something I must do."

As Arashi rushed towards the battle ground, taking to the roof tops for speed, Naruto cuddled into the warmth that was his father's chest. The slight movement caused the young hokage to look down at his son. It never ceased to amaze him how much his son resembled him.

Even though Uzumaki Naruto was just born he had spiky blond hair shooting out in every direction just like his father. His cerulean blue eyes locked on with the hazy blue that belonged to the older blond; and Naruto cooed and laughed, happy that his father was with him.

Arashi couldn't help but smile. He almost turned around to head home. Why should he give up his life to save these people? Why did he have to make the ultimate sacrifice and give up his only chance to be with his son forever? The answer was simple; he was the Yondaime Hokage and it was his duty. Yes he loved Konoha, but still he didn't like to think that he would have to die for these people giving up his chance to be a father.

When Arashi finally arrived at the battle he couldn't believe his eyes. The carnage was too much. The smell of death hung in the air. Not without good reason seeing as how dead bodies littered the ground, some belonging to strangers and others to dear friends.

With one flick of its tail, the Kyuubi had destroyed the gates of Konoha, like they were nothing. Hard stone was crushed like it was nothing more than butter.

Tightening his hold on Naruto, Arashi quickly made his way to the Kyuubi. On his way he saw his pupil Kakashi.

"Sensei!" the silver haired boy yelled, picking up speed to catch up with his old sensei. This was of course a lot harder then Kakashi originally thought since Arashi was the infamous 'Konoha's yellow flash.'

The fourth seemed to notice this fact, because he suddenly stopped. Unfortunately for Kakashi, who hadn't foreseen the sudden stop, ran right into the older man. Now if Arashi had been like any other person he probably would have fallen, and thus would have landed on his son, killing the poor baby. Fortunately for everyone, the Yondaime wasn't ordinary.

"Kakashi, I need you to get Sarutobi-san for me." The blond said, clearly shaken by the scene before him.

"Yes sensei." Kakashi replied, quickly turning around to find the Sandaime. "Be careful sensei. I don't want to lose you to that beast. If I do, I swear, I'll make it pay, even at the cost of my own life." And with that, Kakashi fled to find the former Hokage.

Arashi hated the fact that he would most likely be dieing in this battle, and therefore would cause more loved ones to mourn his death. He only hoped that the forbidden jutsu that he was going to use would also stop the Kyuubi. He didn't want Kakashi to seek revenge just for him all because he was unable to stop the wretched demon.

"Kuchiyose no jutsu!" At the beckoning of this technique Arashi summoned the toad boss Gamabunta. "What do you want Arashi? Why have you disturbed me?" "I need you to take me to the Kyuubi." "You know that what you are about to do is very dangerous right?" "Yes, I know Gamabunta, but it is something that needs to be done."

Without questioning the Hokage anymore, Gamabunta took off for the Kyuubi. Both knew that this would be the final battle that the fourth would ever participate in. "What's with the child Arashi?" "He shall be the one that will really defeat that monster, not I." Arashi commented, hoping that Gamabunta wouldn't be able to hear the distress in his voice; luckily he didn't.

When they finally approached the Kyuubi, Arashi looked on at the beast calculating his next move. He did not want this fight to last any longer. Enough had lost their lives to this demon; he did not want any more to do the same.

Arashi readied himself. The fourth bit his finger, drawing blood; he quickly drew a complicated symbol onto his son's skin, causing the baby to shiver. "Daddy's sorry Naruto."

Resting Naruto on the head of the summoned toad boss, Arashi tried to make short work of the symbols for the forbidden jutsu he was to use to finish this fated battle.

"Shiki Fujin No jutsu!" Before the eyes of every person in the village the god of death arrived at the fourth's beckoning.

"What do you want human?" "I would like for you to seal the soul of the Kyuubi within my son, In exchange for my soul." Arashi stated simply; pointing at his son then at himself.

"Fine." As soon as this simple word was said the Kyuubi could be heard howling at the sky as his soul was slowly sucked into a small baby who resembled his enemy. "I will get you for this Yondaime." "I'm sure you will Kyuubi, I'm sure you will."

Soon the Kyuubi was no more for he was inside the body of the young Naruto. Taking what would soon be his last few breaths, Arashi waited for Sarutobi to arrive to take his son. Till that time came though, Arashi held the boy in his arms trying to calm the small child. 'I'd be surprised to if my father put a demon inside of me. I don't blame you for crying Naruto.'

"Arashi!" Finding the fourth on the ground was not something the third was expecting to see when he was told to make his way to the battle ground by the newest and youngest jounin, Kakashi.

"Sarutobi, no, honorable third, please take care of my son. I am afraid I do not have much longer in this world."

"Do not talk like that boy, you will live."

"Impossible. I offered my soul to the Death God in order to save this village. Once you make a pact with her you can not live. So please take good care of my son."

Letting tears flow freely from his eyes, Sarutobi nodded taking the smaller blond from the fourth's arms. "I will my friend. I promise you."

"Thank you. Tell the village that my son is the true hero, for it was not I who truly defeated that beast, no it was Naruto. And in time I fear that the Kyuubi will rise again, and my son will be the only one who will be able to stop him when that time comes as well."

These were the final words that the Yondaime spoke. Letting the dark depths of death over come him, Uzumaki Arashi slowly left this world.

"May your life in the next be a better one my friend."

Sensing the distress, Naruto's wails became louder. It was as if he knew his father had just sacrificed his life for the village. A village that in time would come to hate him for what his father had done.

"Hush child. Everything will be alright."

For some reason these words seemed to calm the boy for his crying became softer and the tears were coming out less often.

Walking away from what would be remembered by the villagers as the most horrific battle for years to come. It would also be known as the battle that created the new demon, Naruto Uzumaki. Now either they didn't remember that this boy was the son of there fourth hokage or they just didn't want to acknowledge the fact, since the Kyuubi had made its home in the boy's soul.

No body knew that this same boy would soon save them all.

The next morning Naruto awoke to a bang on the door.

"Naruto! Wake your ass up, we need to train!"

"I'm coming Sasuke. Keep your pants on. Sheesh."

Since Naruto had slept in his clothes, he didn't really need to change. So the young Uzumaki Walked to the door, grabbing his training gear, and opened the wooden plank to reveal a very upset Sasuke. "I'm here. Ya happy?"

"Whatever, dobe. Hurry up so we can get to the spot."

"Whatever Sasuke bastard."

Not saying any more, Sasuke headed towards the woods to train with Naruto in tow.
