I own nothing but my good looks
Chapter 1: October 10th
"MINATO WILL YOU HURY THE HELL UP!" Shouted a young women in her impatience and frustration at their current situation. She looked over to the one she was shouting to and found the obvious traces of exhaustion on his body, from his heavy panting and sweat to torn and burned clothes everything about this man screamed he was ready to drop from the days events.
"I'm almost done just buy me a little more time Kushina" the man known as Minato responds never once stopping or slowing down the long chain of hand seals he was stringing together. The man allowed himself a sideways glance at his kneeling wife and knew she couldn't hold out much longer. Her crimson red hair was a mess and she was covered in more sweat than he was.
Minato shifted his gaze slightly from the red head now named Kushina to the golden chains that extended from her back and were currently buried in the ground.
Another shift in gaze allowed him to see the source of their current problem. A giant red fox tied down by the previously mentioned chains that we're succeeding in keeping him and his nine tails restrained... for now. But the foxes blood red eyes promised death once he was released.
With one last sigh the man looked down and smiled at infant by his feet. The child was currently sleeping like there was nothing wrong and it couldn't be harmed. "Forgive me for this Naruto" Minato spoke to the child who's blond hair and blue eyes were so much like his own. He looked back towards the fox as he made his last hand seal and recalled the events of the past few hours.
3 hours earlier
"Come on Kushina push!" Yelled an excited Minato as he held the seal on the screaming women's stomach together.
As the latest contraction in Kushina's four hour ordeal began to fade she started to pant heavily before turning an angry eye on the annoying blond "Damn it Minato it's hard enough giving birth without your redundant advice now will you CALM DOWN!"
Unfortunately her words were lost on the man. Minato had been looking forward to this for months. Ever since he learned about his soon to be born son he dreamt of this moment every night and he'd die long before he ever calmed down.
"Lord hokage with all due respect will you please focus on the seal. I'll let you know when he's out." The old midwife chided to the most feared man in the nations.
And so the cycle of Minato's unneeded advice and the scoldings of the two annoyed women continued on until the moment they've been waiting for finally came to be.
"I'll go wash him off and be back in a few minuets while you take care of the seal" The midwife stated in a tone that left no room for disagreement .
While Minato wanted to hold his son he didn't want to piss off the women anymore than he already had so he fearfully nodded his head and made his way over to Kushina. "Hey how are you feeling?" He asks in a concerned voice.
"Happy and tired." She responded with a smile "just hurry and apply the seal so I can meet our son."
Just as Minato began reaching for the seal some one spoke making his presence known "Fourth hokage step away from the jinchuriki or this child dies." It was a commanding tone that demanded respect from all who herd it.
Minato fearfully turned his head to see a hooded man in a black coat cradling his son in one arm and a knife in his other hand. While he was focused on the hooded man who's face was hidden by a plain white mask with one eye hole he took note of the elder women lying in a pool of her own blood and while he was saddened by this he had to stay focused on the threat in front of him.
"Who are you?" Minato demanded hiding his worry for his son's safety
"Release my son!" Kushina screamed
The man looked at them for a moment revealing his sharingan to the concerned parents before he said "feel free to come and take him" and with that he threw the newborn in the air and holding the knife out for him to fall on.
Minato quickly threw one of his three pronged knifes with the hirashin markers to catch his child before he clung to the wall and blocked out the sound of Kushina screaming out their child's name.
Minato was about to throw his knife at the mans head when he noticed the paper bomb in the blanket Naruto was warped in. "Damn" he muttered before teleporting to one of the markers he set up outside the village.
Upon arriving at his destination the young hokage threw the blanket behind him before teleporting to his home. Once there he swiftly made his way to the nursery and set Naruto down in the crib he built for him one month prior. After taking a deep breath and pulling out a knife Minato focused on finding the marker he set on Kushina in case of an emergency. Once he found it he was off in yellow flash.
Clearing a mile away from Konoha
The masked man set Kushina down in the middle of the clearing as he watched her seal begin to fall apart. He ignored the women's screams of pain and chose to instead focus on the red chakra that was pouring out of the seal. It was beautiful to the man the way it emanated a deep hatred and had the power to make his dreams a reality pleased the man greatly. However his mood was ruined by the appearance of Minato Namikaze who quickly reached towards the seal intent on sealing away the evil chakra. However a speeding kunai forced him to pull his hand back and turn towards the Uchiha."I'd prefer it if you didn't do that. I need the fox to be released to accomplish my goals."
Minato scoffed "What goal?"
"It's not important for you to know."
Minato narrowed his eyes at the man "you're right I'll just eliminate you now and reseal the fox." And with that the two men charged.
Minato knew he was at a disadvantage from the start for two reasons. The first reason was that his opponent had the sharingan which meant one second of eye contact could instantly pull Minato into a genjutsu. The second reason was that he didn't have long before the fox was released so he had to finish this quickly.
Keeping his eyes focused the masked man's arms and legs he saw the out stretched hand coming and readied his knife. When they were just a few feet apart Minato increased his speed hoping to catch his opponent off guard. Not expecting the hokage to move that quickly the masked man's hand was now behind the blond who he found to be less than two feet away. Not slowing from his sprint for a second Minato thrust his knife though the mans chest hopping to end the fight however what he didn't expect was for his opponent to phase through the attack completely. Minato's eyes widened as he passed through the man he was sure he was about to kill but before he could think about what just happened his opponent spun around and kicked Minato just above his left hip. The force from the blow sent Minato flying a few yards before he righted himself in the air and landed on his feet.
'What was that?' Minato thought to himself As he stabbed his knife into the ground in front of him. Pulling out two of his special knifes in each hand he mentally prepared himself for another round. Looking towards his opponent he found himself slightly irritated at how he was just standing there studying him. Deciding he needed to make the next move Minato threw the knife in his right hand towards his opponent who did nothing to stop it. When the knife drew close to its target Minato appeared in front of his opponent in a yellow flash and grabbed the speeding knife in a reverse grip with his free hand while launching the knife still in his left hand towards the masked man's face with a flick of the wrist. As expected the knife was unable to do any damage as it passed through the man's head but before the knife passed through it's intended target Minato slashed with the recently caught knife in the hopes of slitting his enemy's neck only to find it still did nothing. Before Minato could do anything else he that that his right wrist was about to be grabbed before he teleported to the knife that was now behind the man on instinct. Minato found himself a little in the air just behind the object of his growing frustrations. Not letting a second pass the blond hokage spun his knife around so that it was no longer in a reverse grip and attempted to stab his opponent in the back of the head. Unfortunately the man predicted such an attack and jumped backwards through the attack and Minato himself. Now behind Minato the masked man reached forward and grabbed Minato's shoulder. Minato felt as if his entire body was being sucked into the space where he was griped. Not allowing himself to panic Minato warped to where he placed his knife in the ground earlier in the fight.
Minato watched the mysterious man who was once again just standing there like he wasn't worried. 'He can read my movements the instant I make them, cast genjutsu with a glance, phase through multiple attacks at once, and if he grabs me for more than a couple seconds I lose. However I don't think he can attack and phase through my attacks at the same time. I have to think of a way to' "AAAAAHHHHHHH" Minato's musings were cut short by Kushina's pain filled screams.
Minato looked towards his wife in fear. Fear that was justified as he saw the kyubii's chakra gathered above Kushina. The chakra poring from Kushina began to slow down dramatically now that the seal was almost empty. Minato was about to teleport to his wife and try to reseal the kyubii but before he could his instincts screamed at him to duck. He just barely evaded a giant fuma shuriken that would've cut him in half. "I thought I told you I needed the fox to be released"
Minato turned back to the man as his frustrations grew. Taking a deep calming breath Minato began to think up a plan however his opponent decided to make the first move this time. Minato could only watch in wonder as the space in front of his enemy seemed to twist and fold in on itself before a dozen of the massive weapons shot forward. Minato kept his cool as he weaved between the Shuriken. After evading the first five Minato's hand shot out to his side and caught one of the Shurikens by grabbing edge of the hole in the middle. Using chakra to make it spin at a constant Minato swung the weapon in front of him to deflect another incoming projectile. Minato grabbed the deflected Shuriken the same way he grabbed the first one and continued to use the weapons to deflect the rest of the shuriken. The space in front of the masked man began to ripple again signaling his next attack. Minato decided it was time for a counter attack so he threw the shuriken in his left hand and added wind chakra to the one still spinning in his right hand. The first shuriken that was released collided with the one Minato threw causing both projectiles to flip into the air in front of the man blocking his sight. Before he could launch any more weapons the two that were blocking his view was suddenly cut in half by a wind chakra infused shuriken that continued on to his face. The mans eyes widened as it passed through his head.
'Did I get him' the young hokage asked himself
"Well done forth hokage. If I had been a fraction of a second slower you would have succeeded in killing me." Minato raised an eye at this as he looked at the man before a cut in his mask appeared. It was a horizontal cut that spread all the way across the mask. Minato studied the cut for a second before the bottom half of the mask fell down on the floor exposing everything below the mans nose. "However it appears you are the one who was too slow." Minato's eyes widened as he turned to look at the massive cloud of red chakra that were quickly becoming denser and taking the form of the kyubii. Kushina was unconscious with her seal completely gone. Minato could only look on in horror as the fox was completed.
The bijuu possessed orange fur, nine tails, and crimson eyes that promised death to its enemies. It looked around and spotted masked man before releasing a giant roar and raising a giant fist to kill the Uchiha. But before the fox stopped before he could crush the man. They stared at each other for a while before the kyubii's eye took the shape of a sharingan and left in the direction of the village. Knowing that Hiruzen prepared the village for the possibility of the kyubii's release Minato teleported to his wife to check on her. Luckily she was still breathing
"Now then shall we continue our fight?" The Uchiha asked before starting up some hand signs. On the last sign he shouted out "Fire style: Great flame wall" after the last word a tall wall of fire shot towards the married couple. Minato merely grabbed Kushina's shoulder before teleporting them both to the knife he threw through the mans head earlier in the fight which was now embedded in a tree.
"No" Minato began while forming a blue sphere in his right hand "let's finish it." Suddenly Minato disappeared in a flash of yellow light and appeared behind the Uchiha before slamming his attack in the masked man's lower back and shouted "Rasengan"
Pain exploded in the man's lower back before he shot forward rolling over himself on the ground. When he came to a stop all he could do was groan out "Damn you forth hokage how?"
Minato merely reached down and picked up half of the shuriken he threw earlier, tilting it so that the man could see the hirashin seal he placed where he first caught it. "I deflected it before I caught it so I could stop its spinning and place my seal. And now" he began before teleporting to the downed man and shoving one last rasengan through his face and out the back of his head "It's over"
Minato let out a sigh before turning towards the sound of fighting "and now for the fox."
Just outside of Konoha
Hiruzen and the leaf ninjas were doing everything they could to slow down the fox but nothing worked he just walked through most things like they weren't even their and shrugged off the rest. The order to retreat was about to be issued but Minato finally decided to show up and show off by dropping a giant toad on the fox before teleporting both toad and fox away again.
Back to the clearing
"I need you to hold him still for a while!" Minato shouted to his summon.
"Just hurry up I can't hold him for long!" Minato just gave a curt nod before disappearing and reappearing with his infant child.
"Minato? What are you doing?" Asked Kushina as she stumbled her way to Minato with worry filed eyes.
Minato responded by summoning a sealing alter with a one handed hand seal and placed Naruto in it. "I'm going to seal the kyubii in our son." he stated with conviction.
Kushina nearly had a panic attack after hearing that. "WHAT!" She shouted.
"It's our best option you can't survive the fox being shoved back into you after it was just torn out, no other adult can harness the kyubii's power and I can't ask someone else to give up their child. Our only option is Naruto." Minato explains in an emotionless tone already filled with guilt at what he was about to do.
Kushina wanted to argue, to yell, to shout... but she couldn't Minato was right no matter how much she hated it. Her attention snapped to fox after the sound of the toad chief vanishing penetrated her ears. The fox had forced to leave by stabbing him with one his giant tails.
Minato began cursing under his breath but stopped when he saw the fox tied down by Kushina's chains. He turned to his wife who simply said "hurry up and seal the damn thing!"
Present time
After the last hand seal was made time seemed to freeze for the young couple as the shinigami appeared. Minato found himself quite intimidated in this beings presence. The shinigami had long white hair, purple skin, demonic eyes, and wore plain white robes. "Why have you summoned me?" The shinigami inquired.
"I brought you here to seal the kyubii into my son" Minato spoke up
"Very well. And what will you sacrifice in return?"
Minato was about to offer up his life but was cut off by Kushina "I offer up half my life." She spoke quickly to prevent Minato from talking
"Half?" asked the shinigami his full attention now on Kushina
Kushina gulped loudly before explaining herself under his sharp gaze "well um I'm an Uzamaki ya know? My life span is twice as long as most people so half my life can equal a full human sacrifice. Right?"
"I suppose it'll be fine but you'll have agree to something first." This got the couple nervous.
"What is it?"
"The issue here is that my job is heavily tied to death so unless you die in some way I can't help. HOWEVER" he spoke up cutting off any questions "I can send you both to another dimension effectively killing you in this one."
"We'll do it" Kushina finally said after after a few silent moments
"But what about Naruto who will raise him if we both go to some other world?" Kushina gained a sad look at that.
"He'll be fine it'll hurt to not be able to watch him grow up but I'm sure everyone will take care of him. And I know we will see him again I can feel it." After her small speech she turned to the shinigami and gave a quick nod.
"The deal is made." and with that time resumed. The shinigami flew over to the fox and placed his hands on the foxes head. With a quick tug the kyubii was sealed in his new jinchuriki. Next the shinigami placed his right hand on Kushina's head and siphoned off the correct amount of life force before sending them off in a flash of white light.
Okami
Kicking in the door the the front room the shinigami tiredly made her way to the coach before collapsing in it. Hearing the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs the exhausted embodiment of death turned her head to see a tall orange haired teen great her before turing around to look at her more closely. "Um Rukia did you forget to take off your Halloween costume before you left this morning?"
The shinigami looked down at herself and got angry "damn it why didn't those shinobi guys say anything!?"
"Maybe they thought that's how you actually look it is pretty real looking"
"What can I say soul society takes the Halloween season very seriously.
Author notes
what do you think was the fight scene good were people's interactions believable did my attempt at an okami suck? feel free to review and tell me
while I was writing this I actually changed a number of things for example they were originaly going to get to fiori when Obito tries to use a powered up kamuii on them while Minato tries to escape with hirashin but decided against it since I'd have a hard time explaining it and would make a scene I have planned out less dramatic
tell me if I miss spelled any Japanese words.
also is hand signs or hand seals I can't remember
also the okami was a spur of the moment type of thing
untill next time c ya
