I have removed the chapters I had written before because I want to rewrite them. As I said before this is rewrite version of Autonomous Naruto with only few changes. The OCs and story plot is nearly the same.
PROLOGUE
The Hidden Leaf Village bathed in the warm, golden hues of a setting sun, a tranquil haven for its inhabitants. Laughter of children echoed through the streets, ninjas honed their skills, and families savored cherished dinner moments. A day's toil had earned them this peace.
But then, without warning, darkness swallowed the sky. A tempest brewed, and not just any storm - a storm conjured by the Nine-Tails Fox, the most formidable and perilous of all the nine tail beasts.
A thunderous roar shattered the serenity, and the villagers gazed up in dread as the Nine-Tails emerged, a colossal, fur-clad monstrosity wreathed in churning chakra clouds. Its crimson eyes bore into the village below.
"It-it is the Nine-Tails!" a voice cried out, panic infecting its tone. "What do we do?"
Answers were a luxury as the Nine-Tails opened its maw, unleashing a torrent of flames that devoured everything in its path. Structures crumbled, trees ignited, and lives scattered in desperation.
In the midst of chaos, a cadre of elite ninjas, including the revered Third Hokage, raced to the village's heart. But as they neared, the Nine-Tails summoned a colossal tornado that sent them tumbling.
Desperation tightened its grip on the Third Hokage. "We must hold the Nine-Tails until Minato arrives. Stand firm, give your all!" he bellowed to his comrades. They unleashed a barrage of weapons and jutsu, but none fazed the Kyubi. As it readied a tail beast bomb, the village's fate hung in the balance.
Just as the bomb hurtled toward them, the Fourth Hokage, Minato, materialized and deftly whisked it away using his Hiraishin Seal, sending it harmlessly into the distance. The shockwave rippled through the air, leaving all unsteady.
"It's the Fourth Hokage! Now we can defeat this beast!" a ninja exclaimed, capturing everyone's attention. But the Nine-Tails had its eye on Minato as well.
"So, you've spotted me, Nine-Tails?" Minato muttered, determination in his voice. "I must teleport it far from the village or risk its annihilation."
In an instant, Minato stood before the Kyubi, a log in his place, employing his Hiraishin Jutsu to teleport the beast far from the village.
"No, what's Minato thinking? He can't face the Nine-Tails alone. I have to help him," the Third Hokage resolved as he sprinted toward the Kyubi's location.
Meanwhile, Minato relentlessly employed his Hiraishin technique, striking the Kyubi repeatedly, only to witness its rapid regeneration. Gasping for breath, he muttered, "This won't work. It'll keep regenerating. I must seal it swiftly, but Kushina is too injured to contain it. I need another vessel." In that perilous moment, a plan materialized, but before he could act, the Kyubi lunged, its monstrous claw aimed at his heart.
Yet instead of piercing pain, Minato heard a mighty thud, opening his eyes to find Gamabunta, the leader of toad summons, impaling the Kyubi with his sword. Beside him stood a tall, white-haired man with red cheek markings, grinning broadly.
"The Great Toad Sannin, Jiraiya, arrives to save the day!" he declared with his trademark grin before applying a temporary seal to Minato's forehead. "I've given you 50% of my chakra, Minato. Go and find the vessel for the Nine-Tails. We'll handle things here," he instructed as Minato teleported away. With a final glance at the Kyubi, Jiraiya declared, "Let's see what you're made of, Nine-Tails."
"It's my first battle with a tail beast. You owe me some sake after this, Jiraiya!" the chief toad quipped.
Minato materialized before Kushina, cradling their newborn twins. Menma, with fiery red hair and dark violet eyes, and Naruto, blond-haired with ocean-blue eyes. Minato planted gentle kisses on their foreheads before outlining his plan to Kushina.
"Absolutely not! It's too dangerous. I won't allow you to seal the Nine-Tails within our babies. They mean everything to me," Kushina protested, clutching her infants tighter.
"Kushi, please you have to understand. This is our only chance to save the village. We'll watch over them. No harm will befall our children. They will be our village's heroes," Minato assured, finally swaying Kushina after a moment of contemplation. With a swift motion, he teleported all three to safety.
"Ah Minato, you've arrived just in time. My chakra is waning, and I can't use sage mode with this beast. Hurry, we can't hold the Kyubi much longer," Jiraiya urged. Minato, the Fourth Hokage, nodded and cast a formidable red barrier around the Nine-Tails, rendering it powerless.
Minato declared, "I'm about to perform the Reaper Death Seal to seal half of the Nine-Tails' chakra, the Yin half, within me and take it with me. Then, I'll use the Eight Trigram Sealing Style to seal its other two halves, the two Yang halves, within Naruto and Menma." Kushina interjected, "Seal it within me. I'll bear this burden to spare our children. Why must it be this way?" Minato sat by her side, solemnly explaining, "Kushi, you're right, but I want our children to have you in their lives. Your condition isn't suitable to contain the Nine-Tails. I've recently faced a formidable masked man, he could be Madara Uchiha, he was the one truly responsible of the attack. I've barely defeated him because he underestimated me." He paused, holding Kushina's hands, locking eyes with her. "Kushina-chan, these kids will vanquish him. They'll shape their destiny as Jinchurikis. I don't know how, but I believe in them."
"But Minato…" Kushina began, only for Minato to stand up and affirm, "Let's believe in them." With that, Minato performed the hand seals for the Reaper Death Sealing Jutsu, calling upon the Shinigami to seal half of the Nine-Tails' chakra within himself, in exchange for his soul.
"No! I won't be sealed by punny mortals!" the Kyubi roared, resisting the Shinigami. However, it was futile. The Shinigami successfully sealed one Yin half of the Nine-Tails inside Minato, diminishing the beast's size by half.
"Huff...huff...huff... Its chakra is overwhelming, even at half strength," Minato muttered, clutching his abdomen where the seal resided. He then turned to his sons, executing a hand seal. "Now, to seal the other two Yang halves of the Kyubi's chakra within my sons." Summoning two ceremonial altars, he placed Naruto and Menma upon them. The Kyubi attempted to attack once more but was thwarted by Gamabunta, who leaped over it, driving his sword into the beast's skull.
"No, not on my watch," Gamabunta declared. Minato expressed his gratitude before performing the Eight Trigram Sealing Jutsu. A seal appeared on their abdomens, but an unforeseen hiccup occurred in Minato's sealing. The Kyubi's and a minor Shinigami's chakra interference triggered a small, harmless explosion.
When the yellow smoke cleared, the Kyubi had vanished. Minato, the Fourth Hokage, knelt on both knees, breathless. Yet his attention shifted to his crying sons, untouched by the explosion. A faint smile crept upon his lips as he began to embrace the impending embrace of the Shinigami. But then, a revelation struck him as he surveyed the surroundings, shocked and relieved. The Shinigami was nowhere to be seen.
"Wait, how am I still alive... and where's the Shinigami? Does this mean I've been spared?" he pondered before smiling and losing consciousness.
Hiruzen and Jiraiya, who had arrived just in time, picked up the babies, inspecting their seals. Astonishment seized them as they scrutinized the results. Both children bore the Eight Trigram seals on their abdomens, but Menma's glowed while Naruto's signified that an error had occurred during the sealing. Menma had absorbed the full Yang chakra, while Naruto housed the Nine-Tails' soul. What astounded them more was Minato's survival after deploying the Reaper Death Sealing Jutsu, attributed to the explosion.
Yet unnoticed by all, Naruto's left eye briefly turned silver, while a fleeting aura of dark energy emanated from Menma.
"Are... my babies... safe?" Kushina inquired weakly, coughing up blood. Her words reached Hiruzen and Jiraiya, who nodded reassuringly. Hiruzen answered, "Yes, both are safe, Kushina," before she succumbed to unconsciousness.
In the aftermath of the Nine-Tails' onslaught, Minato and Kushina were rushed to the hospital, where they received the best medical care available, courtesy of Tsunade, the legendary Sannin and granddaughter of the First Hokage. Hearing of the crisis, Tsunade had returned to Konoha, offering her formidable healing skills.
Tsunade concentrated her efforts on Kushina, critically injured from having the Nine-Tails extracted.
"My, she's suffered extensive organ damage," Tsunade marveled before determinedly stating, "But I'll mend her." Employing advanced medical ninjutsu and precise chakra control, Tsunade stabilized Kushina's vital signs and regenerated her ravaged organs. Transferring a portion of her own chakra to Kushina through her Yin Seal: Release technique, Tsunade imbued her with renewed energy and vitality.
Tsunade marveled at Kushina's resilience and determination. She knew that most would have succumbed to such trauma, but Kushina had not only survived but also shared a smile with her children. Tsunade admired Kushina's unwavering love for family and village, forging a kinship between them as fellow Kunoichi.
For hours, Tsunade labored ceaselessly, ensuring Kushina's recovery. She then turned her attention to Minato, gravely injured but stable. Despite the severe chakra loss from using the Reaper Death Sealing Jutsu, Minato had miraculously evaded death. Tsunade healed his wounds, restored his chakra, and pondered how he had cheated such a perilous technique.
Tsunade respected Minato's bravery and brilliance, recognizing him as a genius ninja and a savior of the village from imminent doom. His decision to seal the Nine-Tails within his sons earned her admiration and hope for their future strength and courage.
Concluding her ministrations on Minato, Tsunade gave him a thumbs up before visiting Naruto and Menma, slumbering peacefully in another room. Minato had gifted them with special seals to contain the Nine-Tails' chakra, and they had inherited their parents' distinctive traits. Naruto possessed his father's blond hair and blue eyes, while Menma boasted his mother's red hair and violet eyes. Innocence radiated from their innocent forms, ignorant of their destiny.
Tsunade smiled softly, kissing their foreheads before leaving them in the care of Hiruzen and Jiraiya, who had pledged to protect them until their parents recovered. Tsunade wished for a life filled with happiness and peace, free from the shadows of hatred and fear that tainted the shinobi world. She believed, even without the Nine-Tails' chakra, Naruto would rise as a hero.
Narrator:
"Minato emerged as the village's hero, vanquishing the Nine-Tails Fox. The attack exacted a heavy toll, a tragedy etched in the village's memory. Using the Reaper Death Seal, Minato sealed the Yin half of the Nine-Tails within himself, miraculously surviving the dangerous jutsu. An unforeseen error in the sealing resulted in Menma harboring the full Yang chakra, while Naruto unwittingly cradled the soul of the Nine-Tails. A spark ignited within both, signifying a mystery waiting to unravel. Stay tuned to 'Autonomous Naruto' to unveil their destiny."
Author's Note:
There's more to this event but I am not going to spoil it anymore yet. I bet you have many questions in mind as I pretty much rushed everything without explaining much and skipped a few (unnecessarily) things in this Prologue Chapter. However, there are few things to note:
1: Minato has yin half of chakra of the Kyubi/Kurama, while Menma has yang half. However, both of their consciousness(Yin and Yang half of Kurama's consciousness) mixed and has been sealed inside Naruto after strange explosion.
2: Minato and Kushina will have two daughters after 1 year of the Nine Tails Fox attack.
3: Naruto will be neglected by his parents but not in a way you think(its a surprise so I won't spoil it), shunned by the village, hunted by the cruel side of village and left alone in the village.
4: Naruto will have Ultra Instincts Kekkie Genkai(How? I will explain later in future chapters).
Well that's it for the prologue. If you have questions you ask. See you next time.
