Patriot-112: Hey everyone, here it is! The Naruto fic, based on the idea I came up with that both bashes, but at the same doesn't bash, Minato and Kushina! Please note if you guys want to give ideas, good ideas, please do so. Also, this will have a slight crossover with the Okami games.

Oh, and Agato of the Dark Inari, or whoever the heck you are, I don't CARE how my stories sound canon to you. They're MY fics, not yours, and if you don't like them, tough shit, go someplace else then. You're an fanfics dictating troll, and don't deserve to be here. So PISS OFF!

Now, with that aside, let's BEGIN!


Deja Vu


Two figures were racing through a forested area, clad in concealing cloaks with hoods that hid their faces in shadow. The two figures were running at high speed, with one holding something wrapped in a blue blanket. The two continued to run until they stopped in a small clearing and sat down under a tree, both of them panting slightly.

"We're at least a couple miles from the rendezvous point." said the first figure, his voice male, with a baritone hint to it. "We should be there before the crack of dawn."

The other hooded person nodded as they looked at the blue bundle of blankets, a feminine hand reached up and pulled a part of it away, showing the face of a sleeping infant, with blonde tufts of hair, and six whisker marks on the child's face. The hand then began to gently caress the baby's face, making the infant coo like a dove.

"I can't believe they would do that to him. Just to get more power!" the second figure said, in an angry female voice. "Remind me never to act like that, or so help me, I'll kill myself first!"

The hooded man nodded in agreement at that. Knowing that the child's original parents were not the most honorable people on the entire planet.

"I know, love...I know." he said, his tone grim. "Hopefully with us, he'll have a better life than here."

The woman nodded, as under the hood, a smile etched itself on her face as she looked at the tiny infant.

"It's okay Naru-chan. You'll be okay where we're taking you. Those people don't deserve you." the woman said, gently rocking the sleeping blonde as a locke of red hair fell down from under her hood and on the baby.

The man looked at his companion, and although she can't see it, he too was smiling.

"Hey! They went this way!" a distant voice yelled out, causing the two to stiffen in alarm.

"Dammit! They caught up to us already!" the woman hissed.

"Let's go, we better move fast!" said the man and the two continued their mad dash through the trees, the sounds of their pursuers echoing behind them.

The two cloaked persons where blurs as they hopped from tree branch to tree branch, their high speed faster than a cheetah, thanks to long years of continuous training. They continued to keep running, not stopping for anything as they pushed themselves to get their destination.

It didn't take long till they broke the tree line, and arrived at what appeared to be a large valley with a river and a waterfall cutting through it. But the most attentive thing of all were the two statues carved on both sides of the waterfall, depicted in samurai-like armor, their hands on their swords, and their hands in a symbol in front of their faces, as they stared each other down, ready to fight each other.

"The Valley of the End..." said the woman, as the man nodded.

"Yeah...the place where this all started." he said, then turned his head as he heard shouts coming from the forest. "Let's go. On the other side."

The woman nodded and the two made their way onto the first statue before in one single leap, made it across the waterfall onto the other statue. Instead of continuing on, they stopped and turned back to the forest, and waited for their pursuers to arrive. And arrived they did, as a dozen men wearing animal masks, with colored patterns on them, burst out of the forest, before stopping. The rest of their attire was a black sleeveless shirt, pants, and bandages around the ankles, and open toed sandles. Along with that was a light grey flak vest, and a sword attached to their backs.

The group looked at the two cloaked figures, and their eyes behind their masks settled on the bundled baby held in the woman's arms.

"Hand over the Jinchuriki, now," said the obvious leader, who was wearing a dog shaped mask, and his hair being a gravity defying silver. "Or we will use force."

The duo said nothing as they looked back at the group of masked ninja. After a tense few minutes, the male figure spoke.

"Not gonna happen... Kakashi." he said, making the leader of the masked ninja's eyes widen behind his mask.

"H-How did you know my name?" the leader, Kakashi said, as he began reaching for his sword.

He could feel the person smirk behind the hood as he reached up and pulled it off his head, revealing spiky blonde hair and ocean blue eyes, causing Kakashi and the other masked ninja to gape in shock and confusion.

"S... Sensei?"

The figure, was none other than Kakashi's own sensei, the current Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze.

"B-But Sensei, I thought...?" Kakashi stammered only for the man who looked like his sensei level a hard glare at him.

"I'm not the Minato Namikaze you know, Kakashi ... in fact, I'm nothing like my doppleganger who would sacrifice his only son so carelessly..."

Kakashi Hatake, behind his mask could only blink in more confusion. He, as well as the other ANBU put their hands into handseal and yelled 'Kai!' hoping to break the genjutsu that was placed on them. But to their continued shock, their Hokage was still there.

"W...What!?" he said, as Minato gave him a stern look.

"Tell me Kakashi...," Minato began as she stepped in front of the woman who tightened her arms more protectively around the infant, "Have you ever heard of 'alternate realities'?"


24 Hours Ago

In a Different Reality


Minato Namikaze, and his wife and love since they were young Chuunin, Kushina Uzumaki, sported looks of grief after they were told that their child, their first son, Naruto was dead, after being alive for just a few hours. Minato embraced his wife who was bawling her eyes out at the unfairness of it all.

"How..." Kushina sobbed out, "...How could this happen to us!? For us to lose our child just hours after we brought him into this world! It's not fair!"

Minato didn't have an answer as he continued to hold his beloved wife, while he himself was terribly grief stricken, was fighting not to cry uncontrollably. He needed to be strong for her, and though it may sound cold, crying for their now dead baby was not going to help.

"Do you love him?"

The two jerked in surprise at the sudden voice as they looked around. The voice came again, and they could tell it was a woman's voice.

"Would you protect him, feed him, support him?"

The two were on edge as the voice spoke those questions as Minato drew his wife to himself protectively.

"Who is that!?" he demanded, "Show yourself!"

"Answer my questions first! Would you care for your son, even if he was a Jinchuriki?"

Kushina immediately became incensed at that.

"What the hell kind of question is that!?" she shouted, "Of course we would love him, even if he is a Jinchuriki! I know the burden of being one, since I am a Jinchuriki, and I would die before anyone harms my child!"

Minato nodded in agreement, his face holding a firm stony expression.

It was quiet for a moment until the voice was heard again.

"That, is the answer I needed to hear,"

With that a bright light enveloped the room, causing the married couple to shield their eyes from the brightness. After a few seconds, they lowered their arms from their faces, only for their eyes to widen at what they were seeing.

What, or who it was had the appearance of a woman, who looked to be in her mid 20's, wearing a white red trimmed kimono, that appeared to be fit for a noble woman. She had waste length white hair that had some streaks of crimson in them, crimson eyes, and crimson markings on her face. That wasn't the most interesting part, as they could see on the top of her head was a pair of wolf ears, that twitched slightly from time to time.

That wasn't the only thing, as they noticed that they were no longer in the hospital room, but in a place that was entirely made of light.

Minato was the first to get out of his shock, as he looked at the... being in front of him and his wife.

"Who...or what are you?" he said, and the woman kept her calm composure while a small smirk formed on her lips.

"Well, I am what you call, a Shuyōna kami," the woman said, "And as for my name, you know me as the Sun Goddess Amaterasu. But you can me Ammy for short!"

The reactions were obvious and the couple showed impressive impressions of a gaping fish as their jaws hanged in shock. Kushina was the first to recover somewhat as she began stammering out.

"Y-You're...Amaterasu-sama!?" she said, while the Sun Goddess chuckled in amusement.

"Hole in one," she said, before her face turned serious, "But the reason I am here because it concerns your son, Naruto,"

The two should-have-been parents became saddened by that as their heads hung low. Ammy watched this and mentally smiled, seeing these two were perfect to raise the Child of Prophecy, while other versions of this couple were alright, they already had their own Naruto, and the rest were just greedy, corrupt, hypocritical monsters or just plain neglective. Mentally shaking her head, she knew time was of the essence.

"I know your son's body in your world has failed." she said, "But his spirit still lives in another world, and in a another body."

This caught the couple by surprise as they looked at her.

"He...He's alive?" Kushina asked hopefully.

Ammy nodded, "Yes, and he's still your son in blood and spirit." she said, before a grave look appeared on her face, "However, the world he is in, while similar to yours, is much darker and corrupt,"

That caused the two to become extremely worried, as Ammy continued.

"In this world there are versions of you, although the same in appearance and likes, they are much more...darker," she said before looking at Minato, "In this world Minato, your counterpart is still the Yondaime Hokage, but he's more militant, power-hungry, and egotistcal. In one big word, he's a crazed megalomaniac version of you."

Minato instanly paled at tha description of himself in that category.

Ammy then looked to Kushina who flinched a bit.

"And as for your counterpart Kushina, she is a hypocritical, favoritist, deranged fangirl who wanted a daughter more than a son, and wouldn't hesitate in agreeing with her husband's idea to killing her own child."

Kushina's eyes widened in horror at that, now fearing for the safety of her child.

"I'm going to show you your son's future in this world. And trust me, you will NOT like it."


Flashback Kai!


"...And thus she showed us everything." said Kushina as she removed her own hood, shocking the ANBU, yet again, at seeing the wife of their Hokage, who was glaring venomously at them. "The abuse, insults, being ostracized, the prejudice...ALL of it!"

Kakashi was now completely stumped by what he was hearing, he felt that the story that these supposed 'doppelgangers' of his sensei and the former Jinchuriki just told him was plain ludicrous.

Minato, as if sensing the son of the White Fang's dilemma, just gave a smirk.

"If you want proof, Kakashi..." he began, as he pointed toward him, "...throw it. "

Kakashi blinked, before realizing what his sensei and then dug into the back pouch, before bringing out a familiar three pronged kunai. Hesitating a little, he threw the special kunai down next to him, and then in a bright yellow flash (no pun intended), another Minato stood before them.

(From now on, the Evil Minato will be known as Minato B, and the good Minato as Minato A)

"Kakashi? What's the matter? And where is the Kyuubi brat!?" Minato B demanded, but Kakashi's only response was to shakily raise a finger and point it towards the other side of the valley. Following his direction, Minato's eyes widened as he saw his own face glaring right back at him, alongside with his wife who was also giving him, if not a more nastier glare, while wrapping her arms more protectively around the infant.

As Minato B was about to raise his hand in order to dispel the supposed Genjutsu before being stopped by Kakashi.

"I-It's not a Genjutsu, sensei." Kakashi, now more unnerved than ever, "What we're seeing IS real!"

Minato B's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the perfect copy of himself.

"Wh...Who are you? What are you?" he said, while Minato A smirked, his eyes still retaining their glare.

"I am you. You are me." he said, motioning to himself and his dimensional counterpart, "Only difference is, I'm not a power hungry asshole, who sells out his own flesh and blood just for power he doesn't deserve."

Minato B was shocked by the words of his doppelganger, but at the same time insulted.

"Who the hell are you to judge me!?" he demanded while Minato A's smirk vanished, and his glare increased ten-fold.

"I judge you, because you are a hypocrite to the Will of Fire. I judge you because you are a disgrace to the title of Hokage. I judge you...because you, will deliberately and unashamedly, use their own SON TO FURTHER THEIR PETTY AMBITIONS!" Minato A started calmly, but then yelled the last part as his killing intent rose to high levels, scaring the crap out of the ANBU and Kakashi. Minato B meanwhile, gritted his teeth at the audacity of this double before him. He was the Yondaime Hokage of Konoha, the unquestionable military leader and strongest ninja of the village! His word was law, and if anyone, including his useless brat of a son were to be sacrificed, then so be it!

"That thing is not my child as you say it is!" he (Minato B) countered venomously, "The only child I have is my daughter, who is currently back with her and who we will train to be able to surpass us and kill that abomination!"

This however resulted in Minato A to glare even more, as the pupils of his eyes shrunk and narrowed disdainfully.

"You truly are a monster..." he said, "...Amaterasu-dono was right in telling about you, and the danger our son was in,"

The gathered group of hostile ninja all quirked an eyebrow at that.

"But I won't tell you more, cause I know it's useless," he said, before he smirked, "And besides, since Naruto is coming back home with us..."

Minato A then gave Minato B and the ANBU the bird, "Go fuck yourself!" he said.

Minato B saw red at that, as he drew a Hiraishin and prepared to throw it, only for a bright light to flash, causing everyone to shield their eyes.

When the light died down, everyone looked, and Minato B and his group were surprised by what they saw. That something was a large white wolf with red markings along it's face, but the most unique feature was the flaming disc-like object floating over it's back.

"Have I arrived too late?" the wolf asked, much to the surprise of everyone, except Minato A and Kushina, who just smiled.

"Nope, you're right on time, Amaterasu-dono," Kushina said, which at time, Naruto awoke, blue eye blinking curiously open and he looked up at Kushina. Said Kunoichi, feeling the shifting looked down and saw her boy was awake and smiled softly.

"Hello there sleepy head," she cooed, "Did you dream well?"
