Minato aka yellow flash of leaf village is tired, tired than he ever before.
He is sure that his village is in danger because he learnt that madara uchiha is alive and he can control nine tails fox like it's his pet.
He needs to kill it, there is no other option if want to save the village.
Minato looked at explosion that gave time for him to escape from nine tails. It's meteor shower.
Probably no one noticed but Minato did.
That golden spear came from stars. And not sure what happened he heard cry of child.
The child from stars.
Is it the sign? Minato wondered.
He determined, he started weaving signs of death seal.
Kuruma aka nine tails is angry, too much angry at the people that bind her .
It lashed out as soon as shinobi control on it gone, destroying half the village.
But now Minato is trying kill it however it possible.
Kuruma first thought is to survive. It thought of sage of six paths and knew what to do.
It started attacking him.
Minato who is famous for his speed, is clearly struggling to dodge mountain sized fox.
One it's claw pierced his lung.
But Minato doesn't care, he is ready to die. He saw that his wife die in the destruction.
He has no desire to live.
The reaper death seal is completed.
Kuruma can't believe he is not able to stop the jutsu, it decided it has only one option.
Kuruma doesn't need any signs to weave.
It concentrated so it's chakra divided into two.
Half of it's chakra is getting sealed by reaper . Kuruma knew it can't do anything about it.
It's concerned about next step. The blood of fourth hokage on it's hand is reacting to it's juthsu.
Without any moment, shape of blood immediately turned into a small crying boy with features of Minato.
Kuruma immediately locked its own chakra into that small baby.
Kuruma knew it locked itself in boy, it has no choice.
Minato wondered by kuruma's amazing display of jutsu.
That small baby with nine tails chakra is dangerous.
Minato saw that reaper is taking kuruma. But kuruma is laughing while saying.
" I will be free one day."
Minato knew he will be next to die. But he checked the boy. He is human, created by kuruma, using his blood.
Minato understood the jujthu. This boy is conduit to nine tails. Nine tails built itself so it can live through this boy.
Minato can see the boy has unusual chakra, visible, like he is covered with flames of chakra.
Minato is not sure what to do. What will happen if this baby is killed? Will nine tails will be released? There are no answers.
Also this boy possess two types of chakra. Red golden chakra which is nine tails and blue similar to Minato.
He quickly incanted juthsu. He is sealing nine tails chakra. The bright visible chakra is safely getting tucked at his belly and locked there.
Minato knew the kind of life the child who has tailed beast inside of him will have. He saw how Kushina suffered as child.
Minato looked the boy, wrote on his chest the name Naruto, which he intended to give his own son and then at the golden oval shaped box, it brought destruction with it but it also gave time for him to bind nine tails fox.
Minato can't see Madara anywhere . Minato accepted his fate as reaper is taking his life away.

Hirijen Sarutobi aka Third hokage can't believe the destruction but he knew village is saved. Fourth hokage saved the village. He is the first one to reach the place where all it happened .
He went to the place, surprised by seeing two kids in middle of all the destruction.
One kid is in gold coloured spear, crying.
He can clearly can see blonde haired boy has fourth hokage features and the sealing jutsu is clear.
But how?
Fourth hokage sealed nine tails within small baby. He confirmed. Where did baby came.
But what about other baby. Who is he?
It's clear from crater that this boy is not an ordinary boy.
He came from stars . He looked around and found what he is looking for.
It's small glowing globe which is infused by chakra, that will show him what happened.
He immediately took two kids in his hands and he placed golden spear in chakra sealed box he summoned.
Sarutobi immediately summoned elders and Danzo.
Third hokage immediately regretted even though he doesn't have choice. It's good for village.
He can't hide secrets from Danzo and his black ops .
And people will want to know what happened to fourth hokage and nine tails.
For now he can hide about child of stars who is safely tucked in the cradle.
He explained what happened to Naruto and nine tails.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Naruto became target of many people who lost loved one because of nine tails.
Whoever opposed his decision to keep Naruto in village, spread that Naruto is nine tails.
Third hokage never expected this reaction from his village.
Since Madara uchiha is alive, he will come for Naruto.
He needs to protect Naruto identity. But being junjuriki also made people afraid of Naruto, talk less about him, people are ignoring him.
Third hokage also know Naruto has to be anonymous for his own protection. That's why he didn't do anything to make people fears lessened.
There are myths and stories that junjuriki are violent and dangerous.
If he is associated or cared by third hokage, Naruto will be talked.
This secret shouldn't leave this village. He shouldn't have let others knew that junjuriki is existed but it's helpless situation.
That's why Naruto will be ignored . Even if somehow Madara enter village he can't have Naruto.
That's why Naruto is kept in isolated building but he will be shinobi because even though Naruto is reincarnation of nine tails, he is still child.
The other kid, child of stars. Honestly third hokage doesn't know what to say about him.
He seen the chakra footage.
And he can't help but notice that this kid doesn't have any features of normal konoha village people.
That's why he found couple, who are childless.
He is not able to do justice for Naruto, atleast he wants to do right thing with this kid.
He would be loved .
That's why this boy is given to adoption to Martha and Jonathan Kent. They came from far away land to settle here. Sarutobi knew they are good people and farmers.
Sarutobi given the kid to them but only condition is that he will attend ninja academy.
They named him Clark. Clark Joseph Kent.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Clark knew he is ready for his ninja training. He is accepted immediately into academy.
Clark remember what his parents told him or exact thing is warned him.
He can't reveal his powers to anyone.
Clark knew he is lot faster and stronger than normal people.
He knew shinobi can run as fast as him but they use chakra to run fast.
But Clark doesn't even know how to enforce chakra into his hands or feet particularly but he can run faster than them without it.
He knew when he concentrate he can release white aura from his body but Clark is not sure what to do with it.
His father came with him to drop him off at school. He smiled and said goodbye to him.
Clark can see many same age people. He is really happy because he mostly spend his time helping his dad with chores.
All his dad ask is to don't do anything unusual.
Clark can't help but feel smile when he ran into school.
When school is ended, he is pretty disappointed.
He met many of his age. Choji, shikamaru, ino, sasuke, Sakura, Naruto,kiba, shino,hinata, neji, Lee etc.
But he is not able to play fully because he is afraid he is going to hurt them or they will realise about his powers.
One year later:
Clark can't say he hated his school but he didn't like it either, it's not fault of school actually.
First week itself when he played with choji, he got so caught up with game, he threw choji, heaviest kid in school feets away.
He apologized but Clark noticed the looks from other.
Clark then started avoiding playing much because his parents told him how to behave after these types of incidents.
They asked him to lose because he can win very easily.
They want to hide Clark as much as possible so they gave him chores to do in his house, that cut the play time.
Clark just obeyed them.
Clark eventually noticed the looks he got from other kids because they feel Clark just dont want to play with anyone.
Clark also felt it's easy to avoid them than explaining them why he always looses.
Only one person who is isolated than him is blonde haired kid named Naruto.
Even his parents told him to avoid him when Clark asked for reason, they never explained.
Another shocking incident is entire family of sasuke is killed also entire clan of uchiha is killed except him and they are all killed by sasuke brother Itachi uchiha.
Entire village talked about it like months.
Clark always do his tests average so no one can suspect him.
Only person who almost similar to him is kid called shikamaru. Clark suspected that kid is smarter than he shows .
Naruto has lowest scores and Clark noticed Naruto is changing, becoming prankster.
Sasuke always get highest scores but he stopped talking to anyone after he lost his parents.
Clark noticed many times, he always practice with his kunais. Clark has to say he is really impressive.
There is other student Rock Lee, who is unable to do any chakra manipulation, he only rely on his raw skills .
Clark knew he is strongest but Clark do know that he has to train to improve his skills.
He train alone so no one notice how fast or strong he is.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It's becoming harder avoid everyone and train himself in forest especially Naruto increased his pranks.
While walking to his favorite secret spot, he noticed Naruto following him.
Clark smiled himself, Naruto may be little faster than other students but not as fast as Clark.
As soon as there is turn , Clark jumped so high, inducing chakra in his legs which made his legs to shimmer.
Clark knew Naruto can't catch him now.
Clark knew Naruto wanted to be friends with his mates but Clark can't do it because his parents and his own reasons.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Clark noticed Naruto stopped coming to academy. Something happened Clark thought.
Since Iruka sensai came as home tutor , Naruto pranks became too much.
As Naruto pranking, Iruka sensai did nothing but ignore Naruto which made worse.
Clark wished Iruka sensai did something to stop Naruto other than just ignore him.
Clark just wanted to know what happened Naruto so he went to where he lives.
Naruto is so desperate to have friends, he agreed to go to back hills forest where anbu black ops fought with enemy troups and get back something cool so he can be friends with jaro and his group.
But Clark heard jaro prank. The enemy maybe still there.
So Clark ran after Naruto, quickly caught up with him.
" Naruto. " Clark stopped him.
" You . " Clark can see the shock in Naruto eyes, immediately Naruto started running. " You can't stop me . "
" It's dangerous Naruto. Don't go . "
Naruto always thought he is faster but it's nothing compared Clark. He is easily catching up with him. " Leave me alone. You are no different. You avoided me like i am plague. "
Clark momentarily stopped by his words . Naruto is jumping tree after tree until he saw bird nest which has something shiny in it .
Naruto eyes glowed happily when he found weird v shaped kunai .
" This is definitely cool . " He gleefully jumped, keeping it in his bag, going back to village.
" Give me that . " Naruto heard a voice. He can see three tall figures with weapons. Naruto quickly hid the special kunai in his bag and started running.
" Leave him alone. " Clark moved forward so Naruto can escape.
Next moment Clark is found as target for three kunais .
Naruto stopped to look at Clark, who came for rescue.
Within a flash , Clark jumped, dodged them. Within moment another three small shurikens thrown at him, Clark just knocked them away with kunai he got from his bag.
" Aren't you handful little brat ? " They forwarded with swords in their hands.
Clark looked back, seeing Naruto is still there , shouted.
" Naruto. Run "
When Naruto started running , Clark forwarded towards them.
While those three waving their swords at him, Clark is using his kunais in two hands to fight them.
" This brat is pain . " They jumped back away.
" Multi shadow shuriken jutsu. " They throw three shurikens , they multiplied many times, aimed at him.
Clark has no way but to use his powers . He didn't moved at all.
For their attackers surprise, they did nothing to him, simply hit him, fall in front of his legs.
" Fire style. Karura ."
The three breathed fire which shaped into three dragons, attacked Clark.
Clark automatically released his chakra, which balled around him, protected him.
As soon as fire is down, Clark moved with tremendous speed, knocked them out and tied them .
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Clark know Naruto knew his powers but he didn't want to hide them anymore.
Clark told Naruto about prank and they decided they won't be talk about this incident never again.
It's easy to became friends when they share secret together.
Clark and Naruto started hanging out but Clark wanted to do it secretly because his parents are not okay with it.
Naruto started coming to academy, Clark and Naruto usually leave early mostly, train together.
They have ramen in ichiraku with their allowance, if that is not enough, they have instant ramen with so many different flavours.
Clark usually brought extra home made food with him so mostly Naruto no need to prepare his food.
Clark has to say, Naruto may not have much talent but he is too much determined.
Clark seen many times, Naruto tried too many times to get good at his clone jutsu , but no matter how many times he tried, his clone is always pathetic.
Clark is able to do produce clones very easily without sweat. He made it so fast and moved so no one knew he is not among the clones.
But Clark's special is his transportation technique. He made his belt with transportation seal so he can summon kunais and weapons with his seal.
Clark learned how to use many weapons but no one except Naruto knew Clark is genius ninja .
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
" Hey Naruto . " Clark called his friend. This is last day of their academy . Clark thought Naruto failed academy but somehow Iruka sensai passed him in last minute.
Somehow Naruto mastered making shadow clone jutsu.
Clark heard the story, can't believe one of the sensai attacked Naruto and Iruka sensai for forbidden scroll.
Glad Iruka sensai is there for him .
" Clark. " Naruto gleefully jumped and reached him. " Have you seen my headband ? I am officially ninja now . "
Clark can't help but smile, unintentionally touched his own head band .
Clark is twelve year old now but he is one of the tallest kid in class, compared to him, Naruto is at his shoulder.
" So match? " Clark asked. So far Naruto haven't won single match so far .
" Winner gets ichiraku ramen special large . " Naruto licked his lips . " You know i have new jutsu now . " Naruto jumped back and shouted . " Multi shadow clone jutsu. "
Almost twenty similar orange jumpsuit worn Naruto surrounded him .
Clark has to say it's impressive. No one able to create this many clones this easy, even him.
But Clark has too fast reflexes , his eyes already noticed Naruto jumped away while clones are giving diversion.
" Summening jutsu. " Clark touched one of scroll on his belt so fast and fired twenty small shurikens at clones , immediately clones are vanished.
Naruto again screamed " shadow clone jutsu " making another twenty clones .
" It's waste of time Naruto. " Clark ran threw those clones and grabbed Naruto in hold .
" No fair . " Naruto pouted .
Clark smiled. " You should not have involved ichiraku. " He loosened grip. " I would have gone loose otherwise . "
" I know . I know . " Naruto lowered his head with disappointment. " Come on. I will buy you ramen . "
Only person who knew Clark is close to Naruto is Tiechi ichiraku, owner of ichiraku ramen.
" Congratulations Naruto, Clark. Today ramen is on house. "
Immediately Naruto raised his fist in air since he doesn't need to pay.
But they both sure used the offer of ramen fully, ordering extra large, with everything extra toppings.
" So they are going to assign new jonin to us and we can go to missions " Naruto started explaining so enthusiastically .
" I hope we are in same team . " Clark said.
" Me too. " Naruto agreed.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
" Rock Lee , Neji Hyuga , Clark Kent ." Clark heard his name from funny looking man with blue jump suit with big brows . " Come with me. "
Clark is disappointed because he is not part of the Naruto team. Naruto is teamed with sasuke and sakura .
He is belongs to team 6 while Naruto is from team 7.
Clark heard from explaination of Iruka sensai that they team top student with weak then average.
Neji is jenius, Lee always has poor skill except taijutsu, Clark always got average scores.
Clark along with Neji and Rock Lee went to ground.
" Good morning my fellow genins , I am Maigt Gai . I will be your sensai . Tell me about yourself. "
Rock Lee is too enthusiastic and started.
" I want to be exceptional ninja even though I don't know ninjutsu or genjutsu. " Rock Lee raised his fist " I will be most splendid ninja the world ever known. " He announced.
Clark can't help but remember Naruto words, hearing those words. He remembers Naruto words. " I will be hokage one day. Then everyone will respect me. "
Clark smiled but he heard laugh from Neji.
" You dont believe me. I will prove it. "
" Calm down Lee. " Clark gripped his hand assuringly . " I am Clark Kent. " Clark raised. " I don't really have any idea why I want to be ninja. " Clark lowered his head. " All I can think of is I want to help people. "
" That is good reason as any . " Gai replied and looked at Neji.
" I rather not say . " Neji simply replied.
" It's alright. " Gai said with smile . " Let me see your hand to hand abilities. Lee you are first. "
Clark has to say Rock Lee is fast but it's nothing compared to Gai.
Every Lee's strike is met with Gai fist. Fortunately Gai is just defending himself.
After almost half an hour of ninja dance, Rock Lee is sweating profusely.
Next with Neji.
Neji may not be as fast as Rock Lee but he is more skilled. His movements are precise and accurate.
But Gai is too much skilled to let him slip. Not a single strike went through Gai defence.
Next it's Clark. Clark knew he can't use his powers.
He took deep breath, raised his fists . He performed precise movements and controlled movements.
Gai is fast but he is not faster than him . But Clark let it go. He is trying every Ninja move he learned against him but little slower, slower than Neji.
Gai simply pushed him again and again.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Clark has to say having personal sensai is lot more productive than having home tutor.
And having team mates and training with them , that feel great . But the problem is Clark can't fully train with both Lee and Neji.
Lee fully train in taijutsu. Everyday he do more than thousand rope skippings, sit ups, pull ups and push up. He train against hard wooded tree, hitting them even though he bleeds .
His knuckles all bloody after his training.
Neji is genius but he trains in special taijutsu taught by his clan. His gentle fist style is amazing along with his byakugan. He can see chakra points of others.
The problem is Clark is too strong to train against trees, one hit can pummel the entire tree.
And Neji gentle fist style is futile if he use his full speed. Clark is not sure if Neji gentle fist style can affect his physiology .
But Clark has his own style of training. Clark is using enough speed against his two teammates to just defend against them but not fully beat them .
