I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS.
"M-minato?" The Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, the 'Professor' and 'God' of Shinobi stuttered out as said deceased man stormed into his office in the Hokage Tower with an enraged look on his young and unblemished face.
Hiruzen couldn't believe his eyes! Minato was here! He knew it was truly him because he had the same chakra signature as his deceased predecessor and there was no way anyone could simulate that.
"But h-how?" he stuttered again as the young and dead man finally stopped before his desk, his clenched fists trembling at his sides.
'Minato' took in a deep and calming breath so that he wouldn't lose control of his nerves in front of this man. He knew the man was old and knew that Hiruzen tried his best to keep his son safe, but it wasn't enough.
'Minato' smirked at the man after he calmed himself down. "I still am dead, old man." It was quite hypocritical of him, an immortal God, to be calling this man old of all things but he was an old human and Hades himself looked just like he did in his youth. "I'm just paying a little visit to see how my son was doing and to see if my wish was being granted. Hiruzen flinched under the man's cold blue gaze. "Obviously not since I found my legacy bleeding to death in an alleyway in the slums!" 'Minato' spat out in disgust and outrage.
"Mina-" Hiruzen tried saying, but quieted down when 'Minato' held his hand up.
"Yes, I know that you tried your best Hiruzen-Sama, but I cannot let this continue. Call up a village meeting. Make sure that every single citizen and Shinobi is present." 'Minato' ordered. "I have much to tell them." 'Minato' paused and then grinned an evil grin. "It is time for them to learn the entire truth."
Hiruzen's eyes widened at the implication. "Surely you won't tell them that will you?" 'Minato's' only answer was for his grin to become more sinister looking.
Hiruzen groaned in exasperation but conceded. This was going to be a long day. He could feel it in his aged bones. He could already see the extra paperwork that would be waiting for him after all this was over.
In the center of Konoha an hour later:
"Konoha," Hiruzen Sarutobi began, every single resident of Konoha, citizen and Shinobi alike, all silenced down and paid rapt attention to their leader. "I have asked you all to gather here today for an important announcement. Now, let me assure you, that what you are about to see and hear is the absolute truth that has been kept from you all as an SS-class secret. Let me welcome back for the evening our hero, Minato Namikaze, the former Yondaime Hokage and Yellow Flash of Konoha." Hiruzen clapped his hands with a proud grin on his face as said man walked onto the stage and reintroduced himself to the stunned silence of his once beloved village.
The only sound that could be heard was of the birds chirping in the sky above them.
"Konoha," Minato began just like Hiruzen, "It truly is I, Minato Namikaze, the former Yondaime Hokage of Hi no Kuni. And with proof," 'Minato' stated as he brought out an odd looking kunai with three prongs and threw it into the air and disappeared in a yellow flash then reappeared where the kunai was last seen. The crowd began to cheer while others were still in disbelief before they too, began to cheer.
Hades had to restrain himself from burning the village into ashes after he began to hear people in the crowd saying things like:
"The Yondaime is back! He is back to slay the demon!"
"That thing will no longer stain Konoha!"
"Finally, the beast will be killed for everything it's done and taken from us!"
He cleared his throat and with a fake smile plastered on his handsome face, 'Minato said', "Yes, as a human I was known as Minato Namikaze, your Yondaime, but in reality, I'm not even a mortal." Hades stated bluntly. He smirked evilly when he heard the shouts of 'Imposter!' and 'Kill him! He's impersonating the Yondaime!'
"To be honest Konoha, I'm not even from this dimension. But all my feats as Konoha's Yellow Flash have all been true and done. I was the apprentice of Jiraiya the Toad Sannin. I did win us the war over Iwa and Kumo in the Third Shinobi War because of my own jutsu, the Hiraishin. I did have the honor of becoming the Yondaime Hokage and I did seal away, not slay, and sacrifice myself to the 'Shinigami' because of the Kyuubi. But the one important thing you did not know about me was that I was married to Kushina Uchiha and she bore my legacy; a son."
More intakes of breath and cries of incredulity were drawn out of many in the assembly. "And do you know who my son is?" 'Minato' asked. Shouts of negativity reached Hades' ears. "My son is Naruto Namikaze Uchiha! The same child that you have all tortured for ten years!" he exploded, his killing intent bursting out in uncontrolled waves, causing many to faint from fear and shock.
Surely, that thing truly couldn't be his son could he? It was all a lie… right?
Sasuke Uchiha, the one and only survivor of the Uchiha Massacre dealt at the hands of his big brother Itachi, eyes widened at this turn of events. He had a living cousin?! Why wasn't he ever told? He didn't care that it happened to be the dobe of their class. He was family.
"My true name is Hades, brother of Zeus the God of the Skies, and Poseidon the God of the Seas, and I, Hades, am the God of the Underworld!"
'Minato' shouted as his form finally changed from a sunshine blonde haired man with cerulean blue eyes, into a more deadly and feral looking man.
Gone was the exuberant Yondaime that they had all accustomed to, and in his place was someone far more imposing and sinister.
The man before them was around 6'7 in height. He was pale, almost sickly looking with waist length blonde hair with black and red highlights. His eyes were still blue, but had turned into shades darker till they looked like blue flames and they were literally glowing. His attire was anything but friendly.
He was garbed in black demonic armor that had the appearance of scales or some kind of dragon, complete with claws on the hands. On each shoulder was a large spike from which multiple smaller spikes emerged. Falling from the top of the spine were three chain like tassels that resembled tails of some kind. Strapped to his back was a massive demonic scythe. The large weapon had a tapered point on the bottom, from which a flame like pattern crept up the shaft. At the top, there were huge metal spikes, each one about a foot long. The blade itself seemed as tall thick as the wielder's arm, with the length at least being as twice as long.
Black and blue flames flickered around him, while the shadows crept along his feet.
"I, Hades, God of the Underworld, will be taking back my son Naruto Namikaze Uchiha back with me to my world! You have all hurt my child in some way, and I am truly disappointed to have ever been affiliated with this village. I should have never trusted this pathetic waste of land to take care of my son, but I have now seen my wrongs and will now be correcting them. To all of you who have ever harmed my son in any way, whether it be by denying him food or laying a hand upon him, now know that I will personally attend to your soul when your time is due." He grinned maniacally.
"Hiruzen!" Hades snapped, and said man stood at attention. "Inform Jiraiya that I am absolutely discontent with him leaving my child, his godson, to rot here with these vermin's!" The Sandaime Hokage nodded. Jiraiya was in deep shit, that was for sure.
"Konohagakure no Sato, if I ever find out that any of you have abused any sort of child in this world, I will drag your soul to the Underworld myself! Do you understand me, worms?" Hades mocked. Everyone shakily nodded their heads.
Hades looked out into the crowd and saw the familiar mop of silver hair and smiled grimly. The silver haired boy was no longer a boy, but a man; a true warrior. He could feel the man's lone dark grey eye, trying to burn a hole into him.
"Kakashi!" Hades barked out, and seeing said man flinch was laughable to him. He saw his ex-student as a son. He had even been named as Naruto's god brother before he and Kushina-chan died in this world. He knew for a fact that he was one of the only people of this world that cared for his son. "Stop blaming yourself and get the fuck over the past! You did well in life, keep doing what you're doing and keep your loved ones safe and close to you. Don't push them away, Kakashi. I truly am proud of you… son." He watched as tears flowed down the silver haired-nin's face and couldn't help but smile softly at the sight. He truly was proud of Kakashi. The man had gone through so much loss and self-hatred, and yet there he was, still standing and fighting in what he believed in.
He was, however, interrupted by a small and broken voice that came from beside him.
"Are you really my Tou-san?" Hades felt a small hand tug at his own and when he looked down, his immortal heart nearly broke into millions of pieces.
Soulless cerulean blue eyes stared up at him in uncertainty. He was uncertain if this powerful being was telling the truth about being his father, or was it all just a trap for him to fall into and be humiliated by?
The little blonde boy bit down on his bottom lip with surprisingly white teeth. He didn't know what to believe anymore. He was so confused and lost.
Hades eyes softened as he bent down so that he could look his beloved child in the eyes. "Yes, I am your Tou-san."
Naruto's eyes widened before tears began to fall down his blood caked face. "Why did you leave me? Didn't you want me? Did you… did you ever love me?" he sniffled out.
"Of course I did and do, my dear child. If it weren't for my wretched brothers, then I would have taken you home with me. I thought it too dangerous for you there and believed that you were going to be well taken care of here. But I was wrong and that will forever haunt me. I am so sorry, my son. If I had known what my decision would have cost you then I would have taken you, my brothers be damned. I have loved you since the moment I found out about you, and so did your mother. She wanted nothing more than to be here with you and take care of you. Never doubt that." He said softly.
Naruto cried some more before he launched himself into his father's waiting arms and began to bawl his little heart out.
Hades held his son tighter to him, afraid to let go in fear that he would disappear. Unfortunately, he knew that it was beyond early for his son to know about his existence and true form.
"I'm so sorry, my son. For everything." He mumbled into his son's ear. Once the boy was sound asleep from having cried himself to sleep, Hades pressed to fingers to the boy's forehead. And with that, he erased his son's memory of ever having any contact with him.
"I will watch over you from the shadows, my boy." Hades nodded his head respectively at Hiruzen who in turn bowed to him with deep respect of his own. He caught Kakashi's eye in the dispersing crowd and smiled. He received an eye-smile back with a two fingered salute from the silver-haired man. His loud and boisterous laugh echoed throughout Konoha, the only thing left from the man who had changed everyone's lives in some drastic way.
No one noticed the little black haired boy who stood in the shadows with now blood red eyes with three tomoes spinning rapidly. He would get his family back, one way or another.
He would strike anyone down who tried to get in the way of his newfound goal. 'Don't worry cousin', he thought to himself as he made his way back to his empty compound. 'I'll find you and bring you back home where you belong. With me, we'll bring back the glory of the Uchiha Clan once again.'
