Chapter 2
The night was very beautiful. The stars twinkling and a full moon were shining on the beautiful sky. The streets of Konoha were busy with people. The shop's keepers were closing their shops. Friends were sitting in the restaurants enjoying a meal while talking. Families with their younger ones were doing shopping and outing.
In those busy streets, two figures could be seen walking down the streets. One was walking lazily, hands in his pockets. A mask covering his face while his left eye was covered with Konoha forehead protector, he has spiky silver hair orientated to his left side. Dark gray eyes, he was wearing anbu black pants with armor underneath a mesh shirt with black sandals.
The other figure who was walking with him with a shiny bowl haircut and thick eyebrows and was wearing a green jumpsuit with blue shinobi sandals, his forearms were covered with bandages, that was Kakashi's rival Might Guy.
"Come on Kakashi one more race, from here to Hokage monument and then back here. Let's show the people of Konoha how much youth we have with our beautiful flames of youth."
Kakashi sigh. Might guy was a good guy and a good shinobi but with lots of energy. Always asking for sparring and challenges from Kakashi, although Kakashi enjoys his company. After the death of his teammates, Kakashi felt lonely and guilty. If only he would have been stronger than he would have been able to protect Rin and Obito.
"Guy, give it a break already. You know that I'm tired and had just returned from the mission. Maybe some other...did you see sense that...that small amount of killing intent...'the foul smell.'"
"Oh come on Kakashi there is nothing there...just one, please... Kakashi, Kakashi."
"Hmm, did you say something Guy?"
"CURSE YOU KAKASHI."
In the Uchiha clan compound, an eight-year-old boy was sitting outside of his house. He was holding a small bundle in his arms which contained his little brother. Itachi Uchiha, the heir of the Uchiha clan was babysitting his brother while his mother and father had gone outside of the village.
The sudden shift in the air and a change in the environment alerted him immediately. Not only that, but his baby brother who was sleeping peacefully woke up and started crying.
"There, there Sasuke. I'll protect you no matter what. That's what big brothers are for."
'That feeling, what is it?'
There was a man outside of the village standing in front of a secret place which was surrounded by Konoha anbu and security seals. Although the anbu that were there had been killed by him. After scanning the surroundings with his lone Sharingan eye he disappeared in a swirling vortex.
Inside the secret bunker, Kushina Uzumaki was lying on the table breathing heavily while her husband Minato Senju was repairing the seal. Tsunade was sitting on a chair stretching a bit. Biwako, the wife of Third Hokage and a nurse had taken the young Senju heir for cleaning.
Their heads turned towards the source where the scream had come from when they saw Biwako and nurse on the floor dead. A man dressed in black cloak wearing a red mask on his face was holding a tiny bundle in his left arm while with his right hand he was pointing a kunai towards the child.
"Minato Senju, step away from the jinchuuriki if you wish to see your child alive." The voice was hard and emotionless.
Minato just stood there shocked.
'How did he know that Kushina is the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi? How was he able to pass anbu and security seals that I had placed myself?'
"O-okay, calm down..."
"I'm as calm as I should be. Look at yourself, you are sweating." With that, the masked man threw the young Senju heir outside of the bunker.
Minato saw what the masked did but he ignored him and flashed away from Kushina and was able to catch his son just in time.
The hissing sound that he heard increased his heart beat, and quick as a flash he quickly unfolded the blanket and threw it away just in time before the exploding tags detonated on it.
He heard Kushina screaming his name. He knew she needed him. But he has to take away their son from there, from danger.
Back in the bunker, Tsunade attacks the masked man as soon as Minato flashed away from ghost, the masked man turned left and slammed his right fist into Tsunade's back with massive force, sending her away from him.
"Now then..." he walked forward until he was seeing Kushina's seal that contained the Kyuubi clearly. His Sharingan eye glowed as it put the Kyuubi into a genjutsu. From there he took Kushina and swirled away.
"It's time to meet your master my pet."
Kushina was lying on the ground breathing hard. Her vision was becoming blurry. She doesn't think she would be able to live too long. That bastard had extracted the Kyuubi from her.
"Minato please...save our son." And Minato appeared in a flash.
"Kushina everything will be alright. Our son is safe. Here, eat this...it's a soldier pill."
Kushina sighed in relief and swallowed a soldier pill. Minato took Kushina and flashed away. He placed his wife beside his son, seeing Kushina hugging little Nawaki brought determination in his eyes to stop that masked man.
"Here, just stay there with our son ok. I'll take care of the rest."
Minato disappeared in a yellow flash after wearing a white clock with red flames.
"Kuchiyose no jutsu (Summoning Jutsu)."
Minato was standing atop the Hokage monument when Jiraiya appeared in front of him. The Kyuubi could be seen roaring and destroying everything in its path. They have to do something to stop this destruction. Otherwise, there will be no village, there would be just ruins. How is this possible? How they were going to stop that monstrous beast. The thing Minato noticed was that the Kyuubi was destroying everything without any aim. But when its eyes landed upon him, then it stopped and focused its gaze upon Minato.
The Kyuubi fired a Biju dama straight at the Hokage monument, seeing the ball destruction coming towards him; Minato took his tri-pronged kunai and held it in front of him with his both hands. The Biju dama was stopped by an invincible barrier that swallowed it and teleported it far away from the village.
"Great timing kid," Jiraiya commented, impressed by his student work.
"Jiraiya-sensei, I know how to stop the Kyuubi and reseal it. For that, I need you, third Hokage and Kaa-san to engage in battle with the Kyuubi and make sure to push it as far away from the village as possible, and I'm going to face that masked man."
"You got it kid; make sure to kill that bastard." Seeing Jiraiya flashed away from the monument, Minato was about to enter into the sage mood when he felt that masked man sneaked upon him from behind.
He turned around his tri-pronged kunai in his left hand that passed right through the man. Seeing his attack missed Minato flashed away from the monument and stood on the nearby tree strain at the masked man.
"Ho, as fast as a flash, I must say 'yellow flash' is a good moniker for you Senju."
The masked man disappeared knowing that his opponent would follow him anyway. But Minato stood there and calmed himself down. He closed his eyes and gathered natural energy around him. A yellowish hew surrounded his eyes. Pinpointing his enemy's location, Minato disappeared and reappeared in front of the masked man.
"Took you long enough, for a man who is known as Yellow Flash,"
Minato stood there silent. 'That man is not ordinary, killing all anbu black ops was one thing, but passing through my security barrier was another... his ability to pass right through any attack would save him from almost all of my attacks...Kuso(Shit) how am I going to defeat him in a short time. Everyone waiting, I have to be careful and faster...one single hit, that's all I need.
The man who has the power to control the nine tails, the man who passed my security measures without me noticing, the man with strange power...there is only one man who was capable of this'...
"Are you Madara Uchiha... no, he is dead. But no matter, whoever you are will not be getting away from me alive. This village and its people are precious to me, what you have done to this village is unforgivable. I'll make your death quick as a flash."
The masked man is response pulled his hood back; he pulled a long chain from his sleeve and chuckled.
"I would not be worried about that Senju... now come, your village needs you right now." The man taunted.
Minato, in his sage mood dashed forward at high speed, he pulled his right fist back aiming for the man's head but it passed right through him. Minato found himself bounded by a chain behind the masked man. Before the masked man could do anything, Minato kawarimi-ed (Substituted) with a nearby log,' so that's what that chain for, to bind me huh... he is not underestimating me.'
The masked man turned around, waiting for his opponent to come towards him, and Minato turned but not without any plan.
When Minato was in front of his opponent, he tried to slash the masked man but his kunai passed through him. The masked man was able to catch Minato in his chain again but the moment the chain bounded Minato, another Minato flashed right behind the masked man, smashing Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) on his opponents back and marking him to disconnect his connection from the nine tails.
That Rasengan poured with natural chakra was enough for the man to stay on the ground motionless. But much to Minato's surprise he stood up, breathing heavily and his right arm limped.
"Katon: Ryūka no Jutsu (Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu)" A large amount of fire in the form of long dragon came out of the masked man and enveloped the chain that was hidden on the ground. The fire was fast and intense. Minato looked around himself and saw the fire traveling around him in a circular direction, trapping him inside it.
"Do you really think this can stop me from escaping? I can teleport you know." Minato said.
"I don' think you can escape this easily." These words came from behind him. The figure in front of him had disappeared. The one behind him shot several water bullets towards the roaring fire around him. The fire disappeared and mist covered Minato in all directions.
"You can't escape now." The masked man exclaimed arrogantly before placing his both hands on the ground in a crouched position. The area around Minato started glowing.
"This is a special seal that I created just to trap you, Yondaime Hokage. You can feel it can't you! Your body getting heavier, your chakra getting drained. This is all thanks to this seal."
Minato, whose form was hidden because of the Mist cursed. 'That bastard. He created Mist just to make me blind, he knows I'm a Funinjutsu master, I would have been able to recognize the sealing pattern just by looking at it, by creating mist he hide the pattern of the seal from my vision. Although using mist jutsu would have been good too.'
'But I'm not a Hokage level shinobi for nothing.'
"That's a very dangerous move you pulled there. For a second I was worried. But you made a simple mistake." Minato activated his sage mode and channeled as much chakra as he can in the seal beneath him. "You gave me enough time to gather natural energy for my sage mode." Minato roared and channeled more chakra into the seal. And much to the masked man's shock and Minato's satisfaction cracks appeared on the sealing pattern. The Mist cleared enough for the masked man to see Minato flashed from the trap and appeared behind him, his tri pronged kunai at his throat.
"Die!" Minato said vehemently and sliced his throat but it again passed right through his neck. The masked man disappeared from his sight in a vortex.
"Damn!"
"This not done Senju, I'll come again for the nine tails. I'll bring peace to this world; I'll turn this world into a perfect world." The masked man swirled away from Minato's sight.
'Peace huh... so many people died today just for peace. How ironic.'
While Minato was dealing with the masked man, the Sandaime Hokage, Jiraiya and Tsunade were standing on top of their summons.
"King Enma, please turn into a staff. We don't have time. We have to push the nine tails out of the village... Jiraiya summoned more battle toads so that they can distract the Kyuubi. Tsunade? Send your summons to heal the wounds of the injured ones."
Everyone nodded, without any complain and hesitation they did what their leader had asked them to do.
"Anbu! Evacuate the civilians and every ninja for this place. This fight is out of your league. Make sure to send the young generation in safety with the civilians."
"Hai, Hokage-sama,"
Jiraiya had already summoned two more toads that were distracting the nine tails. Tsunade's summons had multiplied into thousands of small slugs that were healing the injured civilians and ninjas.
A long staff rushed forward at tremendous speed and connected with the nine tails body, pushing it back instantly. The Hokage guided the staff to make sure it would remain connected with the Kyuubi.
A grim expression on his face, the screams of the villagers, children calling their mothers and fathers, the village was in chaos. The Kyuubi that was roaring and releasing its malicious chakra in the air was glaring at anything that was in its way of destruction.
The Hokage don't know how many Uchiha had been killed so far because their clan compound had almost been smashed into pieces.
'As a Hokage, it is my duty to protect my people, Tobirama-sensei, Hashirama-sense, I'll protect this village, your legacy with my life.'
The Hokage was dashed forward, his staff in his hand. The Kyuubi had been pushed almost outside of the village. Jiraiya was coming behind him. Tsunade had stay behind, as a medical ninja people need her medical expertise more than anything else.
When they arrived near the Kyuubi, he saw Minato standing there with his wife.
"Kushina, what are you doing here? You should rest. We'll take care of it. You are not in shape to fight."
"I'm fine Hokage-sama. Remember, I'm an Uzumaki." Kushina was standing there in her Jounin gear. Her red tied in a long ponytail. Forming a ram seal, she concentrated her special chakra around her body.
Long golden chains erupted from Kushina's hands at tremendous speed. The chains confined the Kyuubi and forced it to stay on the ground motionless.
"Kushi-chan, good work, I have a plan to reseal the Kyuubi into my son..."
"Minato you can't be serious..." Jiraiya interrupted his student, "Are you really going to seal the Kyuubi into your son."
"It's the only way, Jiraiya-sensei. I'm sure Nawaki would be able to handle the Kyuubi's chakra. Besides I'm going to split the Kyuubi into Two-Ying and yang. I'll seal the half into me and other into my son."
Everyone nodded. It can't be helped. They don't have much time. They don't think Kushina would be able to reseal the Kyuubi into her again. Uzumaki or not, everyone has their limits. They can't ask someone else to give their child for sealing.
The Hokage listened to everything Minato had said and agreed with it. Not wasting any other moment,
"Minato, red yang formation barriers would be able to trap the Kyuubi while I seal it into you and Nawaki..."
"Wait, you're going to seal the Kyuubi, Sandaime-sama please let me do it..."
"No Minato, it's my duty to protect the village, as a Hokage I'll do anything to protect as my teachers had done before me... now hurry up, we don't have time." There was no hesitation in his voice, only determination and will to protect.
The third made a bunshin who with help of Minato, Jiraiya and Kushina was able to trap the Kyuubi into the barrier. The sandaime was standing inside the barrier with Nawaki lying on a sealing ritual that was drawn by Minato.
"Shiki Fujin (Sealing jutsu: Reaper Death Seal)." The Shinigami appeared behind the Sandaime, a translucent gaunt specter with a demonic visage, large than any human with long shaggy white hair, from which two red horns protrude with purple skin with a long serpentine tongue. With a sword in its mouth and carrying a set of prayer beads,
The Kyuubi saw all of this with its own red slit eyes. It was motionless and couldn't do anything to prevent from sealing again into a human. It saw how the Sandaime ordered the Shinigami to cut the great Kyuubi into yin and yang, the Shinigami derived its arm into the third's soul and then to the Kyuubi's.
The third could see his soul hanging in the air. He knew that after that Jutsu, he would be dead. He had done everything in his power to make Konoha peaceful and stronger. He had fought three wars and now it's time for him to pass the will of fire to the next generation. His only regret was that he would not be able to see his grandson grew up into a fine shinobi. But it doesn't matter; sacrifices should be made to keep Konoha standing.
'The old leaves will fall and new ones will born on the great tree that is Konoha.'
Through his mental command, the Shinigami sealed the yin chakra into Minato using eight trigrams seal. Then the third sealed the yang chakra into Nawaki using the same seal.
The third could feel his conscious drifting away.
"It's time for me to pass the will of fire to the next generation. I've done everything to make Konoha strong and peaceful as the way our previous leaders had wanted me to do. Minato there will be times in your life where you have to choose between what is easy or what is right. Chose what is right. It is my only advice to you. Tsunade, Jiraiya, you were my students, seeing you guys now filled my heart with pride. I'm proud of you and always was. Make sure to send Orochimaru to me. Kushina you are like a daughter to me. You sacrificed your whole life for this village, Mito would be very proud of you...seeing you guys standing there on this soil tells me that the future of Konoha is in good hands..."
The third closed his eyes when he saw everyone crying in front of him.
"And finally I'll be able to run away from paperwork for forever." Everyone chuckled at the third's last sentence.
"Minato Senju from today onward you will be the... Yondaime Hokage of Konoha."
With that said the third body went limp and before it hit the ground, Minato grabbed him and placed the Sandaime's body on the ground carefully. The Shinigami disappeared and the barrier collapsed around them.
"Your orders Lord Forth," Jiraiya spoke. His voice carried the sadness that he knew too well. Minato looked around, founding Tsunade, his mother standing not far away from them crying.
"Kaa-san, please hold yourself. Konoha needs you. Everyone needs you. The village needs us. Jiraiya-sensei please takes care of Kushina-Chan and Nawaki...
Anbu, collect every clan head and elite Jounin in the council chambers." The nearby anbu nodded and vanished. Jiraiya took Nawaki in his arms before disappearing with Kushina.
One of the buildings that belong to the orphanage was standing on the ground even after the Kyuubi attack. The children were scared and crying. Many had lost their parents and loved ones. Children could be seen screaming and shouting their mother's and father's names. Pleading for them to come and take them. But alas, they were dead, and dead don't come back.
Out of all the children, there was a one-year-old child, a boy to be precise sleeping peacefully. Spiky red hair could be seen in the dimly lit room. Even with so much noise, the child was sleeping. He was a strange child. Never cried, never wailed. He would just sleep, eat and drink and then play with his small hands while giggling at the same time.
Unknown and unseen to every one, two type of chakra that belongs to Ashura and Indra which were fighting in the child's body finally came to halt when Ashura's and Indra's chakra suddenly disappeared from the child's body. The chakra of both brothers was hung in the air searching for something and when it did, it went for it.
Ashura's chakra attached itself to Senju Nawaki while Indra's chakra connected itself to Sasuke Uchiha. They would be the next reincarnation of Ashura and Indra.
A small smile appeared on the Uzumaki Naruto's face. He doesn't need someone else's chakra. He'll become his own legend. He doesn't need past legend to guide him. No, Indra and Ashura died long ago and it would be better if they stay dead. He'll be the one to stop the cycle of hatred. He doesn't need any foreigner chakra to guide him. His chakra would be enough to guide him.
Finally, after more than a year later, he was able to free himself from their chakra. But his chakra has changed. The fight that took place for a year had changed his chakra. His chakra had become powerful but had been tainted. The small amount of Indra's and Ashura's chakra could be seen attached to Uzumaki Naruto's chakra. Was it an accident or something else? No one could answer this question. But the damage had already done, the change that had come in the Uzumaki's chakra would result in something unexpected.
But it had also proven that the boy will become a legend by working hard. He will make the impossible possible. The boy will be like a sun and a moon, warm and cold at the same time.
Next day
The villagers could be seen repairing their homes. Many had lost their lives civilians and shinobi included. It had cost the Third's life to seal the Kyuubi into the son of the Yondaime Hokage. The combined funeral of the fallen ones had taken place not too long ago. They still can't believe that something like this would happen to their beloved village. The monster that had destroyed half of their village had been sealed but had left wounds behind. The physical could be healed in a short amount of time but what about mental wounds, the horror, the roar, the screams, that foul chakra had left mental wounds that will take years to heal.
Only the shinobi population knew that the Sandaime had sealed the Kyuubi into Nawaki Senju, the son of Lord Forth. The civilians don't know this, according to them; the Sandaime Hokage had killed the Kyuubi before dying. At least there was something to celebrate about. The birth of the Senju heir had been celebrated also. The villagers were demanding to see their beloved prince and Senju heir.
The Yondaime Hokage had done everything to make the populace calm and give them aid in the form of food, shelter, and medics. It'll take time and patience to rebuild the village to its former glory.
Minato was sitting in his office doing paperwork when an anbu appeared in front of him.
"Hokage-sama, the clan heads and council members are waiting for you in the council chambers."
The Hokage nodded and stood up before stretching,
"An unexpected meeting huh, inform them I'll there shortly." The anbu nodded and vanished.
After fifteen minutes later, Minato arrived at the council chambers. He arrived late because he knew that the council members take their time to arrive in the chambers.
"Now that Hokage-sama is here I wish to inform a new found problem. As everyone here knows the Kyuubi had been sealed into the son of our Hokage. The third Hokage had lost his life in sealing the Kyuubi, but the damage has already been done..." The man who spoke looked like a medic ninja from his attire. He was in his late forties. He had everyone's attention glued to him because he was the one who requested the meeting in the first place.
Fumio Yakushi was one of the best of medic ninja in the leaf village. Grey hair tied in a ponytail with Konoha protector tied around his forehead with round spectacles on his eyes. He was wearing a long white cloak and underneath black pants and shirt.
Tsunade could be seen standing beside him, her hand in her green haori, and a serious expression on her face. When Fumio stopped speaking Tsunade continued where he had left,
"The civilians and shinobi that got injured during the attack were facing a serious problem. The chakra of the Kyuubi that is still in the air is becoming a major problem. People are inhaling that toxic chakra and getting sick. We all know that how malicious the Kyuubi's chakra is, and it is causing lung diseases."
Tsunade finished her report with a frown. They have to find a way to seal the chakra that could be seen in the air. It's the only way Tsunade had come up with.
"So what do you suggest we do? You are the head of medical staff Tsunade; you know what to do better than any of us. I'm sure you have an idea to deal with this problem." Danzo commented. His lone visible eye staring at her like a hawk, ignoring his glare on her Tsunade continued.
"The only way to deal with this problem is to suck the Chakra that is in the air and seal it into someone. And that someone should be a child not older than two or three years with large chakra reserves."
"Why can't we use the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi again for this purpose?" Danzo again interrupted. It was as if he was enjoying looking at her frustrated face.
"We can't use Nawaki for this purpose again. I have to open the seal to seal the chakra again into him and by doing so I'd give a chance to Kyuubi to escape."
"Why don't we seal chakra into Kushina-sama then?" Shikaku suggested.
"Kushina-Chan is still feeling weak from the extraction of the Kyuubi. I don't want to risk anything." Minato sigh. Who then, a child not older than a year and with high chakra reserves, but who would give his/her son/daughter willingly for this purpose, they will not be able to hide this from the villagers.
"We have an orphanage, I'm sure we will be able to find a suitable candidate for this purpose. What do you say Hokage-sama?" The tone that was used by Danzo was troubling. Minato knew that after the death of the third Hokage, it'd be quite troublesome to deal with the old war hawk.
"Yes, I'm sure I'll be able to handle this affair without any problem Danzo." Minato's firm and steel like voice gave him a message to mind your own business.
"Fumio, I want you to select a candidate for the sealing. You have two hours."
"Hai, Hokage-sama, it will be done."
"Now on to the other matters,"
"Almost the entire Uchiha clan compound had been destroyed in the Kyuubi attack. Hokage-sama, I, Fugaku Uchiha, clan head of Uchiha clan requests the villager's aid in building the new compound for the Uchiha clan."
"I think it would be good for the Uchiha to build their compound at the end of the village. I'm sure you understand why that is Fugaku. After the sudden Kyuubi attack, the shinobi population is getting rather suspicious of you guys."
"The Uchiha control the military police force. It is our right to build our compound where it is currently now. In the Kyuubi attack, we lost half of our forces. And you would better stay where you are Danzo, if I find out that there is something you are plotting against us then I'll have your head."
"Is this a threat Fugaku?"
"Enough please; we are not here for a fight. Fugaku please calm down. I know you have lost many clansmen in the attack but you have to stay strong. Without clans this village is nothing. Without people Konoha is nothing.
And Danzo you are not my advisor, as a council member, you can only give suggestions to me nothing else. I'll be the one giving orders and finalize them. Is that clear?"
"Hai Hokage-sama." Word spoken without any respect.
"Good. Now about Uchiha clan compound, Fugaku you can build the Uchiha clan compound near the Senju compound."
As expected Minato got surprised looks from everyone even from Danzo. Fugaku was looking at him gaping. Minato never thought that he would see stoic Uchiha like this.
"You can't be serious. Those lands belong to Senju and you are going to give it to Uchiha." Hiashi looked at the Hokage disbelievingly.
"Yes, those lands belong to Senju and as the head of Senju clan I'm giving my land to the Uchihas, to the people of this village so that they can live." Minato's calm but determined voice heard by everyone, after hearing what the head of Senju clan had said they all back down. Those lands belong to the Senju, it is their property, and the head of the clan can give them to anyone who he wishes.
'What are you planning Minato. What type of political game are you playing?'
Danzo was sitting there calmly but inside he was seething. By giving the Senju lands to the Uchihas for free was one thing but the hidden plot was another. The trust the Uchiha had lost will be gained if Fugaku agreed because the villagers adored the Senju and when they will see Senju giving their lands to the Uchiha then...
"I think we should discuss our clan matters in private Senju-dono." The Uchiha clan head spoke and addressed the Hokage as such.
All plans shattered by saying such statement to the Senju clan head. Danzo had planned to move the Uchiha away from the village, in this way they will lose the trust in the villager's eyes. He had planned to force them to make a move against the leaf village and then he would suggest the Hokage to assassinate the Uchihas from the earth. Then he would collect the Sharingan eyes from the corpses for himself. But now everything he had planned had been shattered.
"So this is the child you have chosen for the sealing Fumio?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama. I found him in the orphanage. He is the most suitable candidate for the sealing. He has large chakra reserves and his chakra coils hadn't developed yet because of his age. He is one-year-old."
Minato was sitting in his office alone. Fugaku had left not too long ago, apparently, he wanted some funds to build the Uchiha police headquarters. Minato had instructed him to where the headquarters should be built.
Fumio had come up with a file of an orphan that he was studying now. Naruto Uzumaki.
'Naruto Uzumaki huh, that same child. It means no one has come for him. What a poor child. I wonder where his parents are.'
"So he is the chosen one. Well, we should hurry then. Let's go."
The yellow flash disappeared taking the child and the medic ninja with him. They appeared on the Hokage monument. The sun was about to set. The people could be seen working to build their homes. If you look closely, you could see faint red clouds in the air. That was the malicious chakra his mother was talking about. The chakra was all around the village high in the air.
Minato placed the child on the sealing ritual. Turning around, he went through long hand seals before placing his right hand on the child's belly. The seal that was drawn around the child's crib with sealing ink moved and formed a circular pattern around the child's belly button. The Uzumaki insignia could be seen in the center.
The seal started glowing while Minato was standing there holding a ram seal. The red clouds of chakra that were in the air rushed forward and disappeared into the seal that was drawn on the child's belly. It took half an hour to complete the ritual.
The child was sleeping peacefully unaware of the dangerous chakra that had entered into his system.
"Well, it is done. Now the villagers are safe from any harm."
Another child had been sacrificed for the village's safety. Another child had been chosen to keep the leaf village safe.
Unknown to Hokage and the medic ninja, an anbu with blank mask had seen and heard everything. His mission was to find out who had been chosen for the sealing and then spread the news to the villagers.
The anbu would tell the villagers that an orphan child named Naruto Uzumaki has been chosen for the sealing of Kyuubi. The Sandaime Hokage had sealed the Kyuubi into him before his death.
