Chapter 1: Shock to the Soul

Forest…

"IT'S OVER FOR YOU, STUPID TOAD!" a demon shouted as he and his large group surrounded their opponent.

He was a toad yokai, with a thin yet muscled frame. He had bar pupils in his blue eyes, with orange pigmentation around his eyes, and spiky, blond hair that had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. His attire consisted of a blue uniform shirt with two bands on both of his sleeves, a green flak jacket, blue forehead protector (Covering some warts on his forehead as well as protecting it), and blue sandals. On top of this, he wore a short-sleeved long white haori, closed in the front by a thin, orange rope. The haori was decorated by red flame-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Second Toad Sage".

"The name is Minato," Minato stated as he held a kunai in one hand, crouching down with his opposite hand keeping him stable. "Minato the Toad Sage."

"ATTACK!" the leader shouted, ignoring Minato's statement.

Minato smirked as his body seemingly inflated, his hands and feet becoming more toad like, making him look like a human-toad.

His legs, now much bigger and stronger, pushed him forward in a powerful leap toward the leaders, throwing the kunai he held.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN WIN WITH THAT LITTLE KNIFE!" the leader shouted as he batted the kunai away, only to gasp when he saw Minato vanish only to reappear, grabbing the Kunai.

"Yeah." Minato replied with a smirk as he held out his right hand, chakra spinning into a sphere. "RASENGAN!"

Slamming his attack into the ribs of the demon leader, his flesh was rendered and warped to the point of becoming liquid before he was launched into the air, breaking several trees before he hit the ground.

Usually defeating the leader would cause the attack to end, but Minato was surprised when the demons attacking his home didn't stop their assault.

Minato braced himself for a lengthy fight, reaching into his pouch for more kunai.

"MINATO!"

"JIRAIYA-SENSEI!"

Two of the demons were sent into a nearby tree as Jiraiya touched down, having kicked them out of the way to get to Minato.

Jiraiya was a tall and well-built man in adulthood with fair skin. He had waist-length, spiky white hair that he usually ties back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs framing his face. There were red lines under his eyes which extended further down his face as he got older, going all the way to the bottom by the time he was an adult. His usual attire consisted of a green short shirt kimono and matching pants, under which he wore mesh armor that is visible at his wrists and ankles. He also wore hand guards, a black belt, and a red haori with two yellow circles on each side. He often carried a large scroll on his back, and had a tattoo on his left palm, and he wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for "oil".

Like Minato, Jiraiya's appearance takes on a number of toad-like traits. He had a big nose with four warts, his teeth were sharp, he had a goatee, and acquires toad-like eyes. His hand and feet were toad like and webbed, befitting for his race.

"COME ON THERE ARE ONLY TWO!" a demon shouted as they all roared, charging forward.

"Minato, prepare the Flying Raijin!" Jiraiya shouted as he made the hand signs for Boar and Tiger.

Minato threw his kunai into a tree as the demons closed in on them.

"Earth Style: Swamp of the Underworld!" Jiraiya shouted as Minato grabbed his shoulder, activating the Flying Raijin as the demons entered the swamp.

"HAhahahahahahaha!" Jiraiya laughed as he and Minato reappeared at Minato's kunai, doing a kabuki theater style pose. "That's what happens when you try to attack Whirlpool while we, the Toad Sages, are protecting it!"

Minato chuckled at Jiraiya's antics as the demons attempted to escape.

"I'll finish these riff-raff, Minato." Jiraiya stated as he turned to his student. "Go find Kushina, you both are needed back in the village more than I am."

"Don't say that, Sensei, Naruto loves his godfather." Minato stated with a smile before he became serious before he took off for Kushina's direction.

Jiraiya chuckled as he created two Shadow clones.

All three of them had their cheeks puff out.

"SAGE ART," The said in unison, jumping high into the air with their powerful legs. "GOEMON!"

Jiraiya, in the center, spat out a massive amount of oil.

The Clone on his right expelled a tremendous force of wind.

The Clone on his left spewed intense flames.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" the demons screamed as they were coated in flammable oil, which was set ablaze by the fire, which was made stronger by the wind.

"Alright, time to go help out Fujima." Jiraiya said as he jumped away from the inferno of his own creation.

Meanwhile...

Fujima had pale skin, long white hair down to her waist, with gold hazel eyes. She was a nekoshou, thus she had two white cat ears and two cat tails swaying behind her.

She was currently wearing the same get up as Kushina, sage a white sash at her side and the clothe for her forehead protector was white, not the usual navy blue. At her hip was a sword with a white sheathe and handle with a circular guard.

"Finger Pistol!" She shouted as she embedded her haki coated finger through the skull of one of the demons, blood coating her fingers as she whipped around, avoiding a sword strike from another demon, cutting into the corpse.

"YOU BITCH!" One shouted in anger.

"Tempest Kick!" Fujima shouted as she kicked the air, sending a compressed blade of air into the demon, killing him.

With her Haki, Fujima avoided a sneak attack.

WHAT THE HELL, SHE IS LIKE PAPER!" the attacker shouted in surprise as Fujima crumpled to the ground.

"Just shut up." Fujima shouted as she returned to normal to smash the demon's head in with her fist.

Her eyes widened.

Spinning on her feet, Fujima drew her sword, its steel gray blade flashing black, before she was putting it back.

"GYAAAH!" the demon shouted as the sword clicked into its sheath, bisected diagonally.

Fujima scrunched her face in anger as she spat on the dead creature.

"Filthy piece of shit. Making me draw Wado Ichimonji for a weakling." She spat in venomous anger as she wiped her blade clean before sheathing it. 'I don't sense any other people around me... Except Jiraiya-sensei.'

Meanwhile…

"Come on out, little fox, we won't hurt you… much." A demon said sarcastically as he licked his lips in a perverted manner, getting chuckles and rude comments from his fellow demons.

Kushina grunted as she held her shoulder in pain, sitting in a tree out of the demon's sight.

'Damn, if only I had paid attention in the academy when they taught us medical ninjutsu.' Kushina berated herself as she burned her wound shut.

She was a fair-skinned and slender woman of feminine build with violet eyes with slit pupils, and red hair. Her hair was straight and reached her ankles with shoulder-length strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left. Her fox ears were swaying to hear for sudden movements as she made sure her five tails didn't move and become visible to the enemy.

She wore a blue forehead protector with her hair tied up in a high ponytail and strands at the sides of her face. Her attire consisted of a flak jacket over a black short-sleeved shirt and black form-fitting pants that reached her calves.

She had a belt with a few pouches, and a katana in hand.

"Come on, is this all the Daughter of the Great Revolutionary, the Heiress of the Santoryu, has?" the head Demon taunted as he tried to find Kushina.

Kushina tsk'd in anger as she gripped her sword, Shusui.

Shusui is a black blade that has as distinct white reverse wave hamon that is of a Kanemoto style and its tsuba has flower-like edges in the shape of an octofoil. It also has no accessories on the hilt, being wrapped with black silk. Kashira, tsuba and kojiri end cap are golden, and the sheath, which is at Kushina's hip, is black, decorated with dark red circles split into even thirds.

'I could use the last two smoke pellets, and my sword, or I could just brute force it?' Kushina thought as she removed her hand, her shoulder no longer bleeding as she closed her eyes.

The world seemed to become black, white, and gray.

'I sense four demons.' She thought as she felt their strength. 'With my Observation haki, I can see that they aren't that strong alone, but together they could pose a threat. So, smart plan it is.'

Kushina grabbed her remaining smoke pellets from her pouch.

Shusui's blade and handle turned a red-black, the hamon line becoming more purple than red, as Kushina empowered her weapon with Armament Haki, her hand and wrist being coated black with a red tint.

Kushina moved slightly, opening her eyes before she jumped from her hiding spot.

"THERE SHE IS!" one of the demons shouted.

Kushina threw the pellets toward the group of four, which exploded upon contact with the ground, kicking up violet smoke.

"Damn, she blinded uaaaGH…"

"Hey, whauuuugh…"

Kushina flicked her blade, the blood being thrown off her sword as she had two demons left.

The smoke was pushed outward, revealing Kushina's position.

"Found you~" the demon from earlier said as he leered at Kushina, gripping his axe sensually.

he swung his axe from side to side, forcing Kushina to block and push it aside.

"Oh, come on, is that all you got?" He taunted as he ogled the movements of her body. "Why don't you use that other sword, the flame one?"

Kushina growled.

Chuckling, the demon gathered magic in his mouth.

'Fire.' Kushina thought as she smirked.

The demon spewed fire from his mouth.

The wide spread range of his attack engulfed Kushina.

"Tsk, not even..."

"Kitsunebi-Ryu!" Kushina shouted as she sliced through the fire, Shusui sparking with fire as Kushina's haki burst to life through flames.

the demon smiled as he saw his magic attack be cut.

"Oh yes, you will be amazing." He said pervertedly as he prepared to attack with his weapon again.

Frowning, Kushina gripped Shusui with both hands as the demon raised his axe.

"Ittoryu..." Kushina said as she raised Shusui over her head.

She swung Shusui in a straight down swing as the demon gripped his axe tightly and swung it with all his might, bringing it down upon Kushina.

"Daishinkan." Kushina finished as she swung Shusui down.

The axe connected with Shusui.

Axe, arm, and torso was cut cleanly as Kushina finished her swing, the body falling apart from the after shockwave.

"Wha…" the demon said in shock before he was bifurcated with ease. "Is this… Senjutsu…"

"Idiot." Kushina said as she turned to face the final demon. "Only morons would call Haki senjutsu."

Weak in the knees and terrified, the final demon dropped his weapons and fled.

Not taking any chances of ambush, Kushina used Observation to feel out any potential hiding demons.

When she felt none, Kushina sheathed Shusui as Minato appeared.

"You finished your side?" Minato asked as he took notice of the corpses around them, and Kushina's injured shoulder.

"Yeah, what about Sensei and Fujima?" Kushina asked as she looked to her husband with a bright smile, as if they were on a date, not a battle field.

"We are fine, thanks for asking."

Kushina and Minato turned, ready to fight before they saw Jiraiya and Fujima.

"Who was the man you fell in love with?" Kushina asked Fujima seriously.

Fujima's eyes widened, realizing what Kushina was doing.

"My husband was a human scientist named Tamaki." Fujima replied sadly, her ears and tail drooping. "He abandoned me and my daughters shortly before Shirone was born."

"Sensei, who was the man who trained you in haki and ninjutsu?" Minato asked Jiraiya.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi trained me in ninjutsu," Jiraiya answered with a smirk at Minato's cunning. "And I was trained in haki by lord Fukasaku."

Having gotten the answers correct, the four relaxed a bit, but since they were still outside the village, they couldn't relax completely.

"Let's all spread out where we can still see each other, and check to see if there are anyone else lingering of the attackers." Minato said as he looked at his team.

"Of course." They said as they spread out within visual distance, spreading their haki as far as possible to sense any demon life.

To which, they found none.

"Oh, good." Kushina sighed in relief as she wiped her face, wincing when her shoulder spasmed. "My adrenaline is out… IT HURT'S, YOU KNOW!"

Meanwhile, in Whirlpool Village…

Whirlpool, Uzushiogakure, was a yokai village hidden in Japan amongst whirlpools, granting it protection from land forces.

It was a beautiful seaside village, with many rivers leading into the mainland.

People lived happily within the village.

As such was the case with Naruto Uzumaki (Age 4), Shirone (Age 4), and Kuroka (Age 9).

Naruto looked just like his father Minato, but was a kitsune like Kushina due to her genetics being stronger. He had orange fox ears and a single white tail as he wore sandals, shorts, and a shirt with the Uzumaki Spiral on his back.

Kuroka had Fujima's eyes, but her father's jet-black hair, thus her cat tail and ears were black. She wore a black kimono with a bright yellow sash around her waist.

Shirone was like a mini-Fujima, white hair, ears, and tail, with her golden eyes. Unlike Kuroka, Shirone wore a baby blue sundress for ease of movement as they were currently playing tag.

"TAG YOUR IT, NARU, NYA!" Shirone shouted as she turned heel and ran away from Naruto who was groaning as he was it, again.

"Come on, stop coming after me, Shiro." Naruto whimpered as he looked at her.

"Kuro is too fast, your just slow, nya." Shirone shouted as she laughed.

Naruto faltered as he started to run after Shirone, ignoring her comment to the best of his abilities as he spun and jumped Kuroka, who was sitting at a bench.

"GOT YOU, KURO!" he shouted happily as he neared her, arms open.

His arms snapped around her, only for there to be a puff of smoke to reveal a log in the boy's arms.

"NYAhahahahaha!" Kuroka laughed as she appeared in a tree, looking at Naruto, who tossed the log aside and glared at her adorably, his cheeks puffing out. "Oh, don't be like that Naru, or else…"

Kuroka popped into smoke, making Naruto take a step back, looking for her.

"I'll have to kiss you, nya~" Kuroka whispered into Naruto's ear, before nipping the tip.

Naruto jolted, shooting away from Kuroka, eyes wide as his face was red, his hand holding his ear as he shook with excitement and fear.

Kuroka could not help but laugh at his reaction, only to stop when she felt Shirone hit her side.

"No making fun of Naru, Kuro, nya." Shirone stated as she continued to hit Kuroka.

"Oh, you scared I am going to take Naruto from you, Shirone, nya?" Kuroka purred, stifling a laugh as Shirone's face went red.

"I don't know…" Shirone said in embarrassment, avoiding making eye contact with Kuroka. "What you're talking about, nYa…"

Kuroka couldn't help by smirk at the innocence she witnessed, but play time was over as she clapped her hands.

"Okay, Naruto, Shirone, let's wash out hands and get some lunch, nya." Kuroka said with a bright smile.

The embarrassment was a thing of the past as the children heard 'lunch'.

"LUNCH!" they said in unison, closing the distance between them and Kuroka.

"Okay," Kuroka said as she patted their heads and then turned for them to follow her into their house. "What do you want to eat, nya?"

"RAMEN/DAIFUKU!"

Naruto and Shirone faced each other with surprised looks before becoming serious.

"We should have ramen." Naruto said as his body grew, the kanji for 'Menacing' appearing as his features become muscular and sharp.

"Well, I say we should have daifuku, since we had ramen yesterday." Shirone countered, her body growing as she too became slightly more muscular and lines appeared on her cheeks.

Their power swelled as their stands started to manifest.

Kuroka's hands chopped the two of them.

"OW!" Naruto and Shirone cried out, returning to normal as they held their aching heads.

"No Jojo References until you're a teenager." Kuroka told them as she brought them into the kitchen.

Naruto and Shirone pouted as they entered the kitchen and washed their hands as Kuroka haphazardly searched the fridge for something she could easily cook.

"Oh, grilled fish, nya." Kuroka said happily as she found a few fish fillets.

Naruto and Shirone rolled their eyes as they left the kitchen, going to the tv.

'She always picks fish.' They thought in unison as they turned it on and changed the channel from the weather to Yugioh: Duel Monsters, which prompted them to get their decks and play the card game as they listened to the show.

The smell of oil and cooking fish filled the house, making the three kids drool.

The sound of the door opening caught their attention.

"We're home~"

"MOM, DAD, GRAMPS!" Naruto shouted as he bolted from the small table.

"MOM!" Shirone and Kuroka shouted as they followed Naruto, the three jumping their respected parental figure/s.

"Did you miss us?" Jiraiya asked with a cocky grin.

Jiraiya nor Minato looked like human toads.

Jiraiya had thinned down, no beard, his teeth no longer sharp, with his nose having shrank and only one wart as the markings on his face being reduced.

Minato was much thinner with no pigmentation around his eyes.

Both could pass as normal humans, except their bar pupil eyes.

Naruto nodded his head.

"So, did you try the technique I taught you?" Jiraiya asked Naruto.

"Yep, I flipped Kuro's kimono…" Naruto started to say before he was hit in the head by Kushina.

"DON'T DO PERVERTED THINGS!" Kushina shouted, her tails and hair rippling through the air dangerously, turning to Jiraiya. "AND STOP TEACHING MY SON TO BE A PERVERT!"

Jiraiya escaped punishment by substituting himself with Minato, who took Kushina's punch to the head full force, imprinting his face into the wall near their entrance.

"Is something burning?" Fujima asked as she smelled the scent of burned food.

"MY FISH!" Kuroka shouted as she ran back into the kitchen.

A few minutes later, Kuroka was tearfully eating some rice as she could not save her precious fish fillets from burning to a crisp.

"… And then I saved all the women from the village with my charming good looks." Jiraiya regaled a false tale to Naruto and Shirone, both wide eyes and awestruck.

Kushina, now wearing casual clothing, winced as she ate, her shoulder still injured.

"You sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" Fujima asked, wearing a kimono.

"No, my enhanced healing should kick in soon, it's just because I am tired and exerted to much chakra during the last two days of fighting those demon hordes." Kushina explained for the tenth time that hour. "Now, stop worrying, Fujima. I'm fine."

Fujima was concerned but was reassured when Minato patted her shoulder and gave her a comforting look.

"So, you two want to go camping with me this weekend?" Jiraiya asked Naruto and Shirone, who now had stars in their eyes.

"CAMPING!"

Kuroka perked up and leaned forward.

"Can I go to, nya?" She asked the Toad Sage, who smiled as he nodded.

"Of course, the more the merrier." He stated as he looked at the three kids. "And with me there, I can jump start your training."

"No training." Kushina and Fujima stated in unison, their chakra flaring dangerously, and it was focused on Jiraiya.

"Why? The two of you and Minato were seven when I started your training?" Jiraiya asked in irritation, since he has been trying to jump start the children's training.

"We were in a time of war then, sensei." Minato stated in concern as he talked to his sensei. "We needed to be able to defend ourselves. Right now, the three factions are not fighting as much, and so we want them to grow up with a normal life."

Jiraiya huffed, his cheeks bloating as he made a croaking sound.

'Huh, they are right.' Jiraiya thought in defeat as his throat returned to normal, looking at Kuroka (Who was wiping Shirone's face) Shirone, and Naruto (the three talking about the camping trip).

"Fine, I won't train them. But soon they need to start." Jiraiya replied.

"When they are twelve, yes." Fujima stated as she looked at her daughters and Naruto.

"You plan on teaching your girls the Rokushiki?" Jiraiya asked as he, Kushina, and Minato knew about it from Fujima.

"I plan on teaching them both." Fujima replied as she smiled, as a master of Rokushiki, she took pride in her skills.

"Anyway, come on kiddos, let's get ready for our trip, because we leave tonight." Jiraiya said as he finished his meal.

"Okay!" Naruto, Kuroka, and Shirone replied in unison, very excited about camping.

"Just to make sure you don't start training them, I'm going." Fujima told Jiraiya.

Said toad simply rolled his eyes.

After lunch, Kushina lay across the couch, purring as her tails swayed back and forth.

"I want to open a hot spring." Kushina mumbled with a laugh.

Images of relaxing in a hot spring, the warm water caressing her body and relieving her physical tension.

"What is it, Naruto?" Kushina asked as she felt her son next to her, staring at her.

"Can we see your secret sword, mom?" Naruto asked as he and Shirone looked at Kushina as she opened her eyes.

"Why do you want to see it?" Kushina asked as she moved to sit up.

"Because it's cool!" Shirone answered, her eyes begging Kushina with how big they were.

Smiling as she rolled her eyes, Kushina raised her hand up.

A puff of smoke appeared above her hand.

In her hand was her second sword, which she drew and showed off the blade.

"This, Naruto, Shirone, is Enma. One of my father's three swords." Kushina said proudly as she held the weapon.

Enma is seen to be a moderately curved Shobu Zukuri-style katana with a lilac and gold color scheme. The tsuba is trefoil-shaped, and each lobe is holed in the middle and thickly ridged. The tsuka is lacquered solid lilac (rather than cloth-wrapped), as is the saya. It was embellished with simple, golden, five-petaled flower motifs on each side. The kashira and kojiri are matching in appearance, being large with trefoil cutouts to match the tsuba; the kojiri possesses an additional accent, which seems to be a wide, knobbed ring above it. Enma possesses an irregular flame-shaped hamon and black no-hi.

"Wow..." The two said as they marveled the design.

Kushina chuckled as she sheathed the blade before resealing it.

"Okay, you too, you need to go pack, right?" Kushina asked tiredly as she had been drained of a chunk of her power.

"Oh, you're right!" Naruto stated as he bolted to his room, followed by Shirone.

Evening…

"Damn it, we failed!" a demon shouted in anger as he smashed the table he and his associates were around.

"Leader, it's fine. We can make a few more attacks to see if we can find…"

"WE CAN'T AFFORD ANYMORE FAILURES!" the leader shouted, his arm being coated in magic before destroying the wall with it.

He took a few deep breathes before he made his decision.

He turned to his right-hand man.

"Call the Warlords, tell them I need their help."

The demons went still, their hearts seemingly stopping at the word 'Warlord'.

"You heard me, do it!" the leader shouted, knowing this was not the best action, but it was the only action they could take if they wanted to win.

Meanwhile…

"You have your toothbrush?" Kushina asked Naruto, making sure he had everything he needed for his trip.

"Yes, mom, I do." Naruto said in irritation, only to get his cheek pinched. "OW, I'M SHOWWY!"

"You have your first aid kit?" Fujima asked Kuroka as she went through Shirone's stuff, finding her youngest had everything.

"I have it, nya." Kuroka replied as she showed the kit to her mom.

"Okay, good girl." Fujima praised, kissing Kuroka's head as she had her own bag nearby.

"Stay safe, Sensei, Naruto, Fujima, Kuroka, Shirone." Minato said as they all stood up, wrapping his arm around Kushina. "Have a fun time."

"We will, dad." Naruto said with a bright smile, despite his cheek stinging.

The small group left the house, leaving Minato and Kushina alone.

An hour later, as the sun was setting, the group of five set up their camp as Jiraiya started a fire, sending a shadow clone to gather firewood.

Shirone was helping Fujima set up one tent as Naruto was helping Kuroka.

"Careful, Naru, don't hit your…"

"OW!"

"Hand, nya." Kuroka said as she saw Naruto grab his hand, having been hitting the spike in the dirt, only to hit his hand. "Come here, Kuro will make the pain go away."

Kuroka pulled Naruto into her lap and held his hand, gently holding it in her hand.

"Pain, Pain, go away. Pain, Pain, Go Away!" She said softly and then a bit forcefully before she kissed the area that hurt.

Naruto was as red as a tomato.

"Does it hurt, nya?" Kuroka asked Naruto, wiping his tears away.

"No, not anymore." Naruto said meekly, smiling as his blushed more.

Kuroka smiled before she was barreled over.

She looked up and saw Shirone next to Naruto, holding him in her arms as she herself glared at Kuroka.

'Oh, seems like someone is jealous, nya.' Kuroka thought with a challenging smile.

That night…

The village was quiet, the sound of the waves and whirlpools being soft as the night air was illuminated by the full moon.

A small puff of smoke appeared in the center of the village.

A cloaked individual appeared from the smoke, looking around him and then sensing any life around him.

"This is a good spot." The man said once he was sure he was safe as he pulled out a small piece of square paper.

On it was a Devil Summoning seal.

The Seal of the Donquixote family, who served Leviathan.

It started to glow as the person activated it.

The seal appeared before the person, glowing brightly as it summoned its intended devil.

A deep cackle permeated through the air.

"You have my thanks," the being said as they held out their hand, pressing their index finger against the person's head. "But you have fulfilled your purpose."

The person's eyes widened, the last thing they saw was the red glint of the man's bird like glasses before their skull was penetrated by a projectile, the chunks of their skull and brains flew outward from the force before they collapsed, dead.

"I shall make this quick, and effective." The being said as they whipped around their long limbs, being taller than the average man by several feet, a giant mouth of teeth shown through a giant smile. "Now, arise, birdcage."

Two days later…

Naruto walked with pep in his step.

He had a few bruises and bug bites, but besides that, he had enjoyed the camping trip with his friends and family.

Jiraiya walked ahead of the group, with Fujima behind them in a single file line.

"When we return, I am going to take a bath, nya." Kuroka said as she didn't like the feeling of dried sweat and dirt on her skin for long periods of time.

"I want to eat pudding." Shirone said as she envisioned her favorite pudding cup waiting for her in the fridge.

Fujima smiled at the children, looking ahead a bit.

"Sensei…" Fujima gasped, eyes wide.

Jiraiya turned and faced his student.

"What is it?" he asked, seeing the look of shock on her face.

He turned and followed her gaze, eyes widening as he saw thick bellowing pillars of smoke rising from the village.

Taking off, Jiraiya ran as fast as he could, worry etched into his face and mind.

The village was destroyed.

Over half of the buildings and shops were burned to ash and the rest were physically damaged or not.

However, the entire population were dead.

All of them with blood on them, by their hands or weapons.

'Did… did someone induce a mass genjutsu to make them attack each other?' Jiraiya thought as he got close to the nearest corpses.

They had been killed via impalement… by each other's weapon.

Jiraiya noticed something else.

'They have tear marks.' He noted on both of them.

He checked the next set, and noticed the same things.

They had been crying at the time of death, and they had been killed by a fellow villager.

'What in the world happened? It could have been a genjutsu, but the Batman Scarecrow fear toxin affect is difficult to replicate in genjutsu on this scale.' Jiraiya pondered as he checked another set of bodies.

"Oh god…"

Jiraiya whipped his head around to see Fujima with the children.

All of them were still, eyes wide as they slowly realized what happened.

Fujima wrapped her arms around Kuroka and Shirone, who started to cry into her mother's embrace.

Though Naruto stayed still.

His thousand-yard stare unnerving with his eyes dull, unyielding in their gaze, not even to blink.

"Naruto…" Jiraiya said as he approached Naruto with caution.

His gut full of worry as he had a pretty good guess on what would happen.

To his shock, Naruto bolted deeper into the sizzling village.

"MOM, DAD!" Naruto shouted as he vanished from their view.

"Fujima, stay here!" Jiraiya ordered his student as he took off to find Naruto.

Fujima didn't even resist his order as she did her best to comfort her daughters and keep herself from breaking as she could not feel any life.

No life by hers, her daughters, Jiraiya's, or Naruto's.

Meanwhile…

Naruto ran as fast and as hard as his tiny legs could carry him.

"MOM!" he choked out, the thick smoke choking him enough to make his throat burn. "DAD!"

Naruto made it to the center of the town and stopped to look around before going still.

Before Naruto were Minato and Kushina's bodies.

Minato's throat slit open with various deep cuts on his body that added to his death.

Kushina's torso blown open, her chest cavity and organs exposed to all.

Both of them sharing scorch marks injuries on various parts of their bodies with tear stains on their faces.

Naruto's eyes widened as large as they could while his iris and pupils dilated to nearly vanishing. his heart raced erratically, making his chest hurt as if there were blood cell sized meat hooks pumping through his veins.

"MOOOOOM, DAAAAAAD!" Naruto cried as a blast of haki expelled itself from him as he hit the ground, his arms turning black at the subconscious usage of Armament.

Jiraiya landed behind Naruto, barely having time to brace himself as he was hit by a second blast of haki.

'Naruto… he is a Conqueror…' Jiraiya thought as he managed stayed awake.

Getting a massive headache as Naruto screamed out in anguish.

"NARUTO!" Jiraiya shouted, his headache evolving into a migraine from the Haki blast. 'Damn it, he can't hear me!'

Forcing himself to move, Jiraiya approached Naruto and pulled him into a hug.

Naruto was limp. Tears and snot shot out of his face as he cried in the toad's arms.

His cries slowly calmed and became quiet before Naruto passed out from the shock he received.

Jiraiya put Naruto over his shoulder, his migraine fading as he approached Minato and Kushina.

'What happened?' he thought as the toad did his best to not break down himself. 'Minato, why didn't you call for help? If the demons had attacked, we could have fought them together.'

Jiraiya wiped his eyes and gave them one last look.

His eyebrow quirked upward as he noticed a single difference between Minato and Kushina and the others Jiraiya inspected.

Minato and Kushina were smiling. If it was a smile of acceptance they had, even in death, Jiraiya would never know, but he knew that it showed they were happy in a small way at their last moment.

Jiraiya returned to Fujima, creating shadow clones to scout the area for any supplies that could be salvaged from the desolated village.

Next day…

Naruto was huddled over with Kuroka and Shirone, sniffling as the smell of burning flesh stretched through the immediate area as Fujima and Jiraiya cremated the dead with his shadow clones.

Jiraiya and Fujima handled the bodies and remains with care and respect, even with Jiraiya's skin dangerously drying out, he didn't care.

After several hours, there remained two.

Jiraiya picked up Minato and Fujima picked up Kushina, gently placing them in the pyre.

"Everyone, pay your respects." Jiraiya stated as he gasped, placing his hands together and saying a silent prayer.

Fujima clapped her hands and prayed.

Kuroka and Shirone clapped their hands, but were barely able to think of a prayer as they hiccupped while they cried.

Naruto weakly held his hands together, not really thinking of a prayer.

His eyes were heavily lidded, his thoughts and body in a daze as he did.

Once done, Naruto sat still in silence as Jiraiya made the finished preparing to leave with Fujima.

"I checked all night." Fujima said tiredly, her eyes having bags under them and her ears flat against her head. "I couldn't find Shusui or Enma. Whoever did this must have taken them."

"I thought so to, since Kushina didn't have it in her seal, so she must have been using it during the attack." Jiraiya replied somberly.

There was an awkward silence.

"I need to find them." Fujima said to break the silence. "I know Naruto is to inherit them, but as the user of Wado Ichimonji, one of the three swords used by Kurama..."

"You feel like it is your duty to find the swords and return them to Naruto." Jiraiya said as he had used haki to guess what she was going to say. "Just remember to not neglect your children."

Fujima nodded.

"Are you sure that we have to separate, sensei?" Fujima asked in worry as she glanced at Naruto.

"Yes, if we are all together, then whoever attacked the village will find us quicker." Jiraiya explained as they made the last preparation. "And with Naruto as a Conqueror, he could accidently hurt you or your kids, so I believe it is best."

Fujima bit her lip.

Tear stains were etched on her face and while she understood Jiraiya's reasoning, she didn't want to leave Naruto.

"Okay, I understand." She said reluctantly, gripping the item she held tight enough to break it.

"Alright, then I guess this is goodbye, Fujima." Jiraiya said as he reached out to shake Fujima's hand.

Fujima hugged her sensei, shaking a bit in his embrace as they stood in silenced.

After a few seconds, the adults collected themselves and walked to the children.

"Naruto, you and I will be traveling separate from Fujima, Shirone, and Kuroka." Jiraiya explained to the boy, who nodded his head absent mindedly.

"WHAT!" Kuroka shouted, stomping her foot. "NO, I REFUSE, NYA!"

"Kuroka…" Fujima started to say.

"NO, WE WON'T LEAVE ANYONE!" Kuroka shouted, about to open her mouth again before Fujima slapped Kuroka's cheek.

The stunned silence was tense as Kuroka's wide eyes blinked as her cheek stung.

"Don't… Don't make this harder, Kuroka." Fujima stated sternly to her daughter, barely hanging on. "Now, we will say goodbye. But it isn't forever."

Kuroka stayed silent, slowly nodding.

"I don't want to leave." Shirone hiccupped, Fujima wiping her tears away.

"I know, sweetie, but it is for our safety." Fujima explained as calmly as she could.

Shirone didn't understand, but moved toward Naruto and hugged him tightly.

Kuroka followed up and hugged Naruto too.

Fujima's heart nearly broke, but she steeled her will.

"Alright, you two, it's time to leave." Fujima said as she picked up her bag.

Naruto didn't release Kuroka and Shirone immediately, which drew their attention.

Slowly, Naruto pecked Kuroka's cheek, and then pecked Shirone's cheek, causing them to go red.

"I'll miss you…" He mumbled, his throat cracking as he held back his emotions as best as he could.

Kuroka and Shirone hugged Naruto tighter, kissing his cheeks, now his turn to go red.

"We will see you again, Naru." Shirone said as she reluctantly let Naruto go, walking to her mother.

"Someday, when we meet again," Kuroka said as she leaned into Naruto's ear. "I'll be taking your hand."

Kuroka was released and stood by Shirone as they got their bags.

Fujima secured their bags tightly before nodding.

"Naruto," Fujima said as she knelt down to the boy. "I promise, we will meet again."

Naruto nodded and hugged Fujima, enjoying her warmth as much as possible before he and Jiraiya watched the nekoshou family leave the remains of Whirlpool.

"Mom, nya." Kuroka said as she took her mother's hand as they walked, Shirone taking Fujima's other hand.

"Yes, dear?"

"When I see Naruto, I am going to marry him." Kuroka stated with a blush, wanting to look toward the future.

"No, I will!" Shirone shouted in retaliation.

Fujima giggled as best as she could, small tears forming in her eyes as she listened to Kuroka and Shirone squabble.

Back in Whirlpool…

There was an uncomfortable silence between Naruto and Jiraiya as they waited for the funeral pyre to end.

After an hour of planning what he would do, the Toad Sage checked the pyre, seeing as it was now ashes and embers.

"Alright, kid. It's time for us to go too." Jiraiya said as he picked up his big bag and putting it on his back.

Following his godfather's example, Naruto carried a back-pack full of previsions on his back with Jiraiya carrying the rest.

"Alright, kid, let's go." Jiraiya said as he started to walk.

He turned back to see Naruto not moving.

"Kid, we can't stay here." Jiraiya said calmly and softly. "We need to leave."

Naruto gripped the straps on his bag, looking up with his large blue watery eyes. His bottom lip was being bitten as he nodded his head, which was barely visible.

Naruto took steps forward far too slowly.

But Jiraiya walked behind Naruto, shedding his own tears as they started their journey.

Chapter 1, DONE!

Okay, so for those who have guessed, this is a rewrite of Werefox of Bael, but with simpler twists.

To answer the obvious question, I am not happy with how Werefox went. It has been more difficult to write the story especially after the Loki fight, it started to really get difficult at the Diodora arc, but I was somehow able to make that arc decent. But every chapter since that wrapped up has been subpar.

SO, I decided to do a rewrite.

Yeah, what is new at this point.

But this is going to have several differences, like how in Werefox, I never showed much of Naruto with Jiraiya and Kushina, but here you will see it. Well, the stuff with Jiraiya.

A big difference is Naruto not being a werefox, he is a kitsune. HOWEVER, all yokai have the ability to have the Zoan hybrid forms like from One Piece, which is why I loosely showed Minato and Jiraiya in their hybrid forms and then their 'normal' forms. Sorry if that doesn't make sense.

Also, for those who are worried, Naruto won't be a shota. I had a lot of time to think and decided Naruto should look like he does in Shippuden when he is 15 years old. Sorry for those who wanted him to stay shota, I did too, but decided to change it up.

Basically, instead of being told, you will get to see it play out, like with Sage of Legend.

The harem will most likely stay the same, so don't worry, your favorite girls will still get their love.

Anyway, if you enjoyed Werefox of Bael and liked this chapter, please leave a review as they help me become a better author. If you disliked the chapter, please leave a review anyway as they still help me.

I made some additions as I had an idea, which was adding Shusui, Enma, and Wado Ichimonji to the story, and adding Fujima's fight, showing off her sword skills and Rokushiki.
