Summary: What if Minato and Kushina had two children? What if one of them was Itachi's age and just as skilled? How would it affect the one born under his father's shadow and one under the Kyuubi's shadow? Read to find out.

The Raikage walked past the blonde, even as he knelt and cried for Uchiha Sasuke. The three Konoha ninja—Yamato, Kakashi, and Naruto—decided to rest at a nearby inn.

At the meeting place of the Five Kage Summit, Kazuki and Sasuke had already snuck in and were waiting to see the arrival of the Hokage and his guards. It seemed as if the Hokage had arrived before them, which was surprising, but not unbelievable; Sasuke and Kazuki had dawdled a bit.

An hour into the Kage meeting, Sasuke had finally had it. His eyes changed into blazing red ones and he jumped at a platoon of samurai. They roared and the fight began. It wasn't necessarily fair since Sasuke could stick on the walls and break ceilings, but in the ninja world, nothing is fair.

Meanwhile, Kazuki focused on locating the Kage. It took ten mintues to do an accurate headcount and assess the chakra levels of everyone there and see if Minato was there or not. Kazuki did a backflip into the battle and killed five samurai at once, snapping the necks of some and making others stab their comrades by tripping a few at the wrong angle. Then he unleashed a scorching hot fire jutsu so hot that the flames turned blue. Once he ended the jutsu, he unfurled a large scroll and allowed burning hot senbon to fly out of the scroll and go through samurai armor and kill them instantly.

"Kazuki, tell me," Sasuke said as he appeared next to Kazuki and a purple skeleton appeared around them. At another time Kazuki would've admired the potential for sealing and blocking the skeleton held, but he had important intel to report.
"There are Five Kage and ten guards and three samurai. The Yondaime Hokage and Danzo are with them. I've located them. Let's go," Kazuki said, running to beckon Sasuke. Sasuke smirked and followed the redhead to the meeting room.

The doors burst open to reveal only Kazuki; Sasuke had already attached himself to the ceiling to look at them for a moment before they could attack to take away a valuable opportunity.

"Kazuki, don't do this. Come back to Konoha with me and we'll sort all this out," Minato walked towards him with his hands up and apart in a nonthreatening way.

"Yellow Flash, it isn't a good idea to approach a mentally unstable nuke-nin not even with a kunai in hand. Even if it's your own son, you haven't heard how much damage him and his organization have caused, including taking the Kazekage and nearly killing him. I shouldn't be telling you this though, I'll bet that he's already thought of a hundred ways to kill you already," Tsuchikage chided, a smirk easily visible.

"Make that 110 for the Yondaime Hokage," Kazuki corrected before grabbing Minato in a chokehold, pulling out an exploding kunai, and shoving it into his side. Kazuki jumped back and was unsurprised as his father came out completely unscathed. Kazuki narrowed his eyes, easily seeing what Minato had done: Kawarimi after pulling out the kunai.

Kazuki made sure to keep his body away from Minato's hands; he'd leave a Hiraishin seal, which would be problematic. Kazuki threw Minato out of the room and into a wall hard enough to leave cracks in the wall. Minato hissed a little and stood. I'm still far from top shape…Kazuki, you've gotten cold. But skilled. I hope I can convince you to come back to Konoha with me.

Kazuki walked up to his father with a strange grin. He stopped as Minato was pulling out a kunai and threw them across the hallway. Kazuki cursed and jumped into the ceiling to avoid where his father might appear. There were eight strewn across the room, three of which close to him…so a 37% chance of Minato appearing near him. The lowest chance he had was a 12% chance by the end of the corridor. Minato had a relatively good idea of how his son's mind worked, so the one by the corridor went up by 50%. Then again, both of them knew it was the easy way out, so Minato appeared at a kunai with a 32% chance, to which Kazuki jumped into the Kage meeting room and threw himself at the Raikage.

The Raikage smirked and his body exploded with lightning around it. Kazuki weaved many seals for a moment as Sasuke covered him. Kazuki raced again towards the Raikage, only to be stopped by Minato, who caught him roughly and Kazuki found himself on the ground being held down.

"Tell me why you abandoned Konoha," Minato said calmly as he stared into his son's murderous eyes.

Kazuki summoned all his strength and threw his father off him. He grabbed his father's collar and flung him against the ceiling. Minato disappeared and reappeared at one of the kunai he'd left in the corridor.

"Sasuke, Danzo has left," Kazuki said after sensing the area for a moment. His eyes widened as the Raikage punched him in the stomach, causing Kazuki to cough up a significant amount of blood. Kazuki glared as he knelt on his knees. Chakra chains strangled the Raikage and burned his skin and chakra coils. Kazuki pulled out a scroll of the Hachibi's chakra and slammed his hand on it, as his vision was getting fuzzy, and channeled the chakra into the chains to burn, and hopefully kill, the Raikage.

Kazuki stopped, feeling himself begin to pass out. The Raikage, sadly, was still alive, but yelling out in pain. Kazuki felt familiar hands catch him and looked up to see the face of his father.

"Don't touch him," Sasuke growled as the Susano'o became visible again and the top of the building exploded.

"I'm afraid I have more of a right than you do, Uchiha-san," Minato sent Sasuke a glare. Kazuki tried to fight his father's grip but his father easily had him restrained.

"Don't worry, Sasuke, we'll get him back eventually. He's a necessary person in our campaign," Tobi said. Then he declared war on the Kage and left with Sasuke.

"Don't touch me, you filthy coward. You're a worthless piece of shit," Kazuki wheezed out as Minato was taking off Kazuki's shirt and patching him up.

"Don't say that. What would your mother say to that?" Minato asked gently.

"She's dead, thankfully. I hate both of you. I'll kill you sooner than you can tell Naruto I hate him too," Kazuki spat, his mind swimming with agonizing pain. To be honest, he wanted to kill the Raikage more than his father or Naruto. Once the Raikage was dead, next was his father.

"You're lying. Anyone can see that in your eyes," Minato said seriously.

Kazuki woke up in a dark place. There was no light and from what he could tell, he was lying on something cold and he was restrained not only with ropes, but chakra suppressors. He winced as he felt his stomach begin to scream in pain. The Raikage had nearly killed him, from the looks of it.

"Itachi…" Kazuki whispered. If Itachi was there with him at the Kage Summit, he'd never allowed this to happen.

Itachi wasn't alive, though. Kazuki cursed and felt tears stream out of his eyes. He figured he was in T&I at Konoha. His sobs echoed around the room and it took him a good ten minutes to stop. His blood felt like boiling he was so frustrated.

Some time later, he couldn't tell, a door opened, letting in a burst of light. Kazuki shut his eyes to stop the burning light from reaching his eyes. Kazuki opened his eyes a crack and saw that a light had been turned on above him. He groaned and shut his eyes tighter. A stool loudly scratched on the floor and Kazuki's ears rang.

"I normally would have the T&I staff interrogate you, but I figured I should do it. According to medical reports, you're suffering from TB. I don't know if you knew, but I'd like to know how you contracted it. Also, we caught it early so you're not going to die," a calm voice said.

Kazuki said nothing. He'd been conditioned in the Akatsuki for this kind of this: interrogations. He'd been thrown in boiling water, in frigid temperatures, stabbed over and over, and many other forms of torture to prepare for the worst: a member gets captured. Every member is kept knowing the same information as the rest to make sure there are no mishaps due to lack of information. That, however, can be a problem if a member is captured and interrogated. Kazuki prepared himself for the worst.

"Let's start off with something easy. What is your name?"

Kazuki wasn't going to respond. Ever.

A shock of lightning chakra shot through him. It felt like a mere tickle compared to what he'd known in the Akatsuki to be pure hell.

"What is your name?"

No reponse.

Another shock, this time a bit more concentrated. It was nothing.

"Here, I'll help you out: it's Namikaze Kazuki," the calm voice continued. "But, I knew that. I named you, after all. Next question: how old are you?"

This ridiculous interrogation continued until another person walked in when Minato was asking: "Why did you join the Akatsuki?"

"Nii-chan…is it true?" a voice asked. Kazuki had no intention of answering any question, in any form, from anyone. Unless they revived Itachi.

"Naruto, what're you talking about?" Minato asked.

"The masked guy said that you and Itachi—" Naruto was suddenly cut off.

Kazuki opened his eyes and glared at Naruto so fiercely that Naruto felt like he was burning holes in him.

"If you say another word, I swear I will destroy what left of this disgrace of a village. I should've helped out when Pein attacked; maybe you might be dead. If you were dead, I could finally rest in peace. Maybe I'd finally make my dream a reality: suicide," Kazuki spat, his voice dripping with venom. "And I'm not your brother."

"Kazuki, we all know that's a lie," Minato said.

"Shut up! Both of you! I hate you! Once I get out of here, I'm going to murder you and take the Kyuubi out of both of you! Maybe then your wife and mother will spend her lonely days in the afterlife with people who actually want to be with a worthless woman like that," Kazuki said.

Slap.

Kazuki froze for a moment, slowly looking at his father. "You…"

"I…I didn't mean to I just…"

Kazuki exhaled loudly and closed his eyes. It was enough. "Take these seals off me."

"I can't…"

"Minato, I'll answer your questions if you take the seals off me. For every question, you are to take off a seal. There are thirty seals on me, which I suppose is the exact number of questions. Am I wrong?" Kazuki's eyes glinted with knowing.

"You're right," Minato let out a smile. "You're just as sharp as I remember."

"Why did you join the Akatsuki?" "How did you contract TB?" "Why did you leave Konoha?" "Why did you team up with Uchiha Itachi to kill his clan?" "Why do you insist on denouncing your familial ties with your two remaining family members?"

And etc.

Every single answer Kazuki told was a lie. In the Akatsuki he'd gotten very good at lying and not even Itachi could tell half the time if he was lying. However, Itachi knew pretty much every answer to every question he'd asked when he was alive, so it was pointless to really ask, but just in terms of how believable Kazuki was astonishing.

"I see," Minato said, beyond saddened. "You've fallen…"

"You have no right to say I've fallen or not. I chose this life and the moment my blade sunk into the Uchiha, there was no turning back. With this path, I've become more powerful than you, Yellow Flash," Kazuki said as he broke out of his restraints and stretched. "Now, I'm going to go look for my possessions."

"There is one more question. It isn't on the paper, but if you want your things, you have to answer me, truthfully. Did you do everything you've done for your own sake or for Naruto's sake, for Konoha's sake, and for the world's sake, as if you wanted forgiveness from me and your mother?" Minato asked, his eyes trained on Kazuki. Kazuki turned and ran a hand through his hair. There was a heavy pause.

"You don't have to answer with Naruto in the room," Minato offered. "As your father, I'm sorry I died and left you that day and I'm sorry I couldn't be there for you, but I need to know. Please, Kazuki."

"Naruto, I don't know what Madara told you, but whatever he told you is a lie. Itachi and I abandoned the village because we were sick of what we saw. You and Sasuke were failures the moment you took your first breath, your first step, and your first jutsu attempt. This village is rotten and as people who consider yourselves loyal to something like this, is something that sickens both me and Itachi. That's why I left," Kazuki said. Kazuki grabbed his shirt from Minato and slipped it on, not minding the large bloodstain.

"Kazuki…I love you," Minato said, a tear rolling down his cheek. "On the camera, I saw you cried for Itachi. If you cared for him, then doesn't that make your whole interrogation a lie?"

"You're pulling at straws now," Kazuki said. "Hokage, if you don't want me to explode your body from the inside out—"

"You have that scroll! You took it!" Minato realized. "Those jutsu are forbidden!"

"And yet, you used a jutsu from that scroll on your darling son. How interesting."

"If I didn't, then you would've died! Your mother's seal wasn't going to hold much longer," Minato argued.

"I can use the same seal she had. Would you like for me to demonstrate? I'd absolutely love to demonstrate," Kazuki smirked as he walked out.

"You can use chakra chains? I thought that was just a fluke at the Summit," Minato said.

"Minato, nine years ago I spared Naruto's life on a whim using those chains. Not then, and not now, is he worth killing," Kazuki said as his footsteps disappeared into the hallway.

"Does that mean you didn't want to kill me?! Does that mean you actually care?!" Naruto ran after him. Kazuki whirled around and had him in a chokehold. Minato ripped the two apart and tried to slap Kazuki again. Kazuki chuckled and let out his signature fire style jutsu that nearly burned the two if Minato hadn't grabbed Naruto and dove into the interrogation room. Kazuki sealed the door and walked away, knowing that it would only temporarily stop Minato from moving. Minato would probably appear at the gates before he could get out of the village, but that wasn't much of a problem.

Still, the fact he wasn't tortured or harmed at all was a surprise. In fact, it worried Kazuki. Why hadn't Konoha tried to get more information out of him? Was Minato really that desperate to have a son he knew (well, he'd only known Naruto for a few days now compared to the six years Kazuki had)? It made Kazuki nervous. Was there some kind of trap? Was everything right now a genjutsu?

He shook his head and found his things in another room. He found someone else's shirt there and slipped it on.

"I found you," a feminine voice said. Kazuki strapped his scrolls and kunai holsters on his person and turned around, genuinely unsurprised she'd been revived as well.

Kazuki looked at the woman with apathy and walked past her. She made a sound that probably signaled she didn't like it when he dismissed her existence. Kazuki couldn't care.

"Why are you down in T&I? I heard someone with the same name as you was a nuke-nin, but I know you wouldn't do that. I know you promised me to protect your brother. Where is Naruto?" a redhead woman asked. Her hair and Kazuki's hair was the same color.

"He's in my cell. With the coward," Kazuki said bluntly, walking away. Her footsteps ran up to him and she walked with him.

"Coward?"

"The Yellow Flash," Kazuki said, stopping, extremely annoyed. Honestly, why couldn't she have stayed dead? With her alive, his suicide plans were screwed!

"Ah, your father! Why couldn't you have said that? Wait…cell? Why are you in T&I? Did you become an interrogator? I bet you're great at that," Kushina gushed.

"Kushina, I am not your son. I am Namikaze Kazuki, nuke-nin of Konoha. Nine years ago, Uchiha Itachi and I slaughtered the Uchiha clan. From then on, we were nuke-nin. Your real family is down that hallway at the end. Go, before I change my mind about killing you," Kazuki said, pushing her away and walked away.

"You're lying!"

"That's what everybody says. Then, I kill them. It's a messy way of getting my point across, but you've got to do what you've got to do," Kazuki waved has wrist to emphasize this.

"Stop!" Kushina's chakra chains flew at him, only for his to make a protective barrier around him.

"Don't bother," Kazuki's eyes turned dark. "Don't make me regret leaving you alive today."

Kushina stood in shock. She raced towards him with a fire style jutsu. It was a rather weak one. Kazuki let his chakra chains wrap around her and burn her chakra until she screamed so loudly that it echoed hopefully to the inside of the cell.

"Kushina! Kazuki!" Minato's eyes turned murderous. Kazuki let her go and she was unconscious before she hit the floor. Naruto looked at Kazuki and his mother in shock before charging at Kazuki with multiple shadow clones and a Rasengan.

Kazuki yawned and leaned against the wall as he activated a seal around himself.

"Is that it?" Kazuki asked. "I really have to go. You know, prepare for war."

"Kazuki, why… that was your mother. You promised her and me that you'd protect Naruto and the village. Why haven't you done that?" Minato asked.

"Minato, ask Kakashi. He's understood for a while that Itachi and I aren't his subordinates. Get your head around the fact I'm not your son and then you'll be fine," Kazuki said.

"I can't. For six years, I cared for you and you smiled everyday. I can't let go of those memories. Those memories of you are what kept me going in the Third Shinobi World War. That's why I can't let you go into evil more than you have now," Minato said.

"Nii-chan, I know everything about you. You lied to me to protect Konoha! You lied to protect me! You've done everything up till now to follow Tou-chan and Kaa-chan's last wishes! Why can't you just stop now and come back? You've done more than enough," Naruto said. "But…why didn't you tell me anything? Is it because you didn't have the courage?!"

"You three are worthless. As if I'd help worthless people like you three," Kazuki said as Tobi finally came and sucked him away.

Naruto began to cry and Minato pursed his lips as he picked up Kushina's limp body.

A/N Kushina and Minato are one of my favorite couples:) If you combine that with the fact I stretch things too far in almost anything I write, this is what you get. Sorry if it's not all that believable but oh well. It is fan fiction after all.
