Chapter 1 - Intentions

(Secret Location Outside Konoha)

It was nighttime in the Elemental Nations. The date? October 10th. We shift our focus to Konohagakure, more specifically it's forest regions where something extraordinary was taking place. A woman was giving birth, now you would ask me "Why would a woman need to give birth in a secret?" Well if history has taught us anything, it is that we should always look "Underneath the Underneath".

Well, this woman is Kushina Uzumaki, the Nidaime Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the strongest of the tailed beast. As she finished giving birth the nurses then went to clean off the newborn in a different room, we then see the sealing that contains the tailed beast stretching up and down her skin, indicating that it is weakening.

Seeing this Minato says, "Let us take care of that and tighten your seal" Then we hear two dull thuds reminiscent of bodies falling on the floor. Turning to the entrance of the other room they see a masked man with one eye hole, holding baby Naruto in his arms and says "Step away from the Jinchuriki Yondaime or your child will die at the ripe of one minute.

"Now let's all calm down okay?" asked a nervous Minato. "I am perfectly calm Yondaime." said the individual. He then threw the child into the air, jumping into action Minato ran to catch his child. "You truly do justice to your moniker Yondaime," said the masked man "But what about the next one?" He asked.

Looking down Minato saw the blanket Naruto was wrapped in lit up with paper bombs, throwing away the blanket he dashed for the exit as the tags exploded behind him. Looking at a crying Naruto he sees that he is fine and thinks 'He separated me from Kushina, he is after the Nine-Tails. I have to get Naruto to safety, then go after them.' Seeing the Yondaime flashing away, the mysterious man remarked "He jumped again."

Appearing within one of his safe houses, Minato puts Naruto in a bed and says "You stay here Naruto, I will go and get your mother" Back with the masked man and Kushina, we see her suspended between two pillars with Fuinjutsu and the seal containing the Nine-Tails exposed. "I will extract the Kyuubi from you and use it to destroy Konoha," he says.

Looking at Kushina with his Sharingan, we see a cloak of Nine-Tails chakra manifesting around her. In her mindscape, we see the slitted iris of the Kyuubi changing into a three tomoe Sharingan, as the stakes impaled in the various parts of its body are slowly removing itself. On the outside, a chakra avatar of the Kyuubi roars as the masked man said, "Come out Kyuubi!"

As the full Bijuu is extracted from her, Kushina fell on her face due to exhaustion. As the man is preparing to walk away from her, she said: "Wait..." "You Uzumaki Clan members truly are like cockroaches. It's only fitting that you are killed by the tailed beast you held, Kyuubi... kill her!" He said annoyingly as the beast struck the rock where she was lying, the man turned to look at the treetops seeing the Yondaime standing there with Kushina in his arms and subsequently flashing away.

"No matter, I got what I wanted," he said and starts walking away in the direction of Konohagakure. Arriving with Kushina at the safe house, he puts her with Naruto, as she says, "Minato you have to stop that man, he is heading for Konoha." "Don't worry, I will take care of it, you stay here with Naruto." he said with a smile as he puts his cloak on with the kanji for 'Yondaime Hokage' on the back vertically. Kushina says "Minato, thank you" and he flashes away.

(In the Village)

It was nighttime in the village hidden in the Leaf, also known as Konohagakure. The village was quiet and peaceful with a few drunk villagers stumbling the streets on their way home whilst rambling incoherently.

With most of the village being unaware of what was coming babies started to awaken and cry. Suddenly a malevolent and hateful chakra washed over the village. A puff of smoke occurs in the village signaling something being summoned, as a wind blew away the smoke, it revealed the Nine-Tailed Fox, the strongest of the Bijuu in all his glory.

As it starts to destroy everything in its path, a three tomoe Sharingan visible in its eyes. The shinobi starts to attack the tailed beast trying to push it out of the village using their offensive jutsu whilst buying time for the civilians to get to safety.

(On the Hokage Monument)

Appearing on the Hokage Monument, Minato observed the destruction the Bijuu is causing to the village when suddenly he lunges behind him with a Hiraishin kunai at the man with his attack phasing through the masked man as he said "I'm your opponent now" and then he feels something trying to suck him in and he flashed away.

He then appears outside the place where Kushina gave birth, falling on the ground. As he got up and dusts himself off, he thought 'He is also a space-time ninjutsu user but his one is more versatile and faster than mine.' Looking ahead of him, he sees a vortex appearing out of thin air with the masked man exiting it.

Observing each other, Minato asked him "Are you Madara Uchiha?" Answering in a childlike voice he answers, "Maybe I am, maybe I'm not." "Madara Uchiha is dead," said Minato "According to who?" asked the man now dubbed as 'Madara Uchiha' as he took off his hood revealing short spiky black hair, he attaches cuffs connected by a chain on his wrists.

As they started to engage in combat, Minato phased through him completely. Surprised by this he sees the oncoming chain Minato flashed towards the kunai a few meters behind his opponent. 'His space-time ninjutsu allows him to become intangible but he takes a risk when he is attacking so I will have to be faster than him if I wish to finish this off quickly.'

Standing up he turns around and looks at his opponent, he asks "Why did you unleash the Fox on Konoha?" "I did it on a whim or maybe I planned it," the man said darkly. As they engaged in combat once more with Minato charging the masked man with a Rasengan in his right hand and a Hiraishin kunai in his left, he threw the kunai to the man's head with it phasing through.

As the kunai went through his head, the man said "I win" when Minato suddenly disappeared in front of him and shoved the Rasengan into his back as his opponent thinks 'He jumped to the kunai he threw earlier.' Minato jumps away to observe his opponent, 'Madara' said "You managed to injure me" with a white hand falling out of his sleeve. "And you're not Madara Uchiha, the real one would never be caught off guard by that move," said Minato

He disappears and re-appears in front of the man and applied a seal on his chest and retreated once more to a safe distance. Looking down at the seal and at Minato again the man said "A contract seal…" "Yes," said Minato "Now the Kyuubi isn't yours to control anymore." As 'Madara' starts to disappear in a vortex, he said: "I will control this world one day, there are many ways…" 'Somehow I don't think he was lying' thought Minato with apprehension as he flashed away.

A few moments later the Sharingan disappears in the Kyuubi's eyes, a fact that went unnoticed by the attacking shinobi. Dismissing the Ningen in front of it, the Kyuubi focused its attention at the Hokage Monument, at the person standing on the monument. Charging a Tailed Beast Ball, the Kyuubi fires it at the monument creating destruction as it travels through the village.

Suddenly the technique gets sucked into a vortex appearing in front of the monument, an explosion appears outside the village a few moments later. Using the distraction, the Yondaime teleports the Kyuubi a far distance away from the village. As it is looking around for any sign of the Yondaime, when suddenly a shadow appears above it.

Snarling in rage as the heavy object falling on it, the Kyuubi saw that it was a toad and shouted: "Get off me, you filthy swamp creature!" "Hhmmm where am I?" asked the Toad Boss Gamabunta. "Sorry for the sudden call Gamabunta but I am in a battle with the Nine-Tails, can you please hold him down for a moment?" Minato asked. "I will try my best since I have never faced a tailed beast before especially the strongest of them," said Gamabunta

As Gamabunta and the Nine-Tails continued their struggle, Minato flashed away from the battle a reappeared a while later with a red infant in his arms and his wife, Kushina by his side though she was very tired from childbirth and the extraction of the Tailed Beast. "Minato we can't do this, if you do this you will condemn him to a life of suffering and loneliness, with no one to care for him, please don't do this." begged a teary-eyed Kushina.

Seeing the infant in the arms of the Yondaime, the Kyuubi used one of this tails and lashed at the eyes the toad, after successfully slashing at the toad's left eye, the Nine-Tails threw the toad off him, with it dispelling back to its realm. Glaring at the Ningen the Kyuubi menacingly approached them, when he was a few feet away golden chains erupted from the ground ensnaring the Bijuu.

Snarling in anger the Kyuubi says "You will not seal me away again, not in a helpless Ningen of all things. I refuse!" Looking at the Kushina Minato says, "I am sorry Kushina, but even if we seal the Kyuubi in you, it will eventually return and then there won't be an Uzumaki to seal it in since Naruto will already have developed chakra coils. I hate it as much as you do but Naruto will need the Kyuubi's power to fight that masked man." with a hint of sadness and regret in his voice.

"Snake" "Boar" "Ram" "Rabbit" "Dog" "Rat" "Bird" "Horse" "Snake" "Hands Clap"

"Fuinjutsu: Shiki Fujin!" shouted Minato after finishing the hand seals with a spectral being of the Shinigami appearing and a specter of his soul being held by the Shinigami's hair appearing above him. "Who summoned me?" the Shinigami asked. "I did Shinigami-sama," said Minato. "I believe you know the price of summoning me?" asked the Shinigami. "Yes, I do Shinigami-sama, I please ask that you seal the Yin half in me and the Yang half in my son," said Minato.

Minato summons a sealing altar and starts the sealing ritual when Kushina suddenly starts coughing up blood because of childbirth taking its toll and the control of her chains slipped. Using the momentary distraction and the weakening of the chains hold on it, the Kyuubi extracts his right paw from the chains and thrust his paw towards the infant on the altar.

SQUELCH!

Suddenly we see both Minato and Kushina impaled on the claw of the Nine-Tails stopping centimeters away from Naruto with droplets of blood falling on his stomach as he is still crying. "Listen to me my Naru-chan, always eat your vegetables, get a lot of sleep, and always train hard. You will not always have a lot of friends due to the burden of yours but be sure that they always have your back, find a woman like me you know and make sure to never let her go, stay away from the three shinobi inhibitions and Jiraiya of the Sannin, watch out for him," said Kushina with teary eyes. "Yes Naruto, listen to your motor mouth mother," Minato said jokingly.

After seeing the Nine-Tails back away when it noticed the presence of the Shinigami. Without acknowledging the order, the Shinigami thrusts his hand through Minato, grabbing the full soul and power of a struggling Nine-Tails and puts it into Naruto while a seal appears on his stomach. Suddenly the Shinigami stops time in the entire Elemental Nations and then adds a glowing white ball that has three black tomoe on a blue background on it resembling the Sharingan, another ball with a stylized S inside a pentagon on it, Kushina's soul and a portion of Minato's containing his memories and abilities to the seal and then allows time to resume.

Not knowing of the Shinigami's actions and his fury at the Death God for sealing the entire Nine-Tails into Naruto made Minato oblivious to the death of his wife or the missing portion of his soul as he added a portion of his and Kushina's chakra as a fail-safe whilst thinking. 'Naruto will need her for when he tries to control Kyuubi's chakra and tell him of what happened tonight.' Summoning a toad, we saw a scroll toad appears, the toad then notices the Kyuubi and quickly get freaked out by this. Dismissing this Minato gave the toad the key to Naruto's seal and told it to store itself within Jiraiya. He then yells "Hakke Fuin!" sealing the Kyuubi into Naruto, not knowing if the other abilities the Shinigami bestowed upon Naruto. Taking the soul of Minato as his payment the Shinigami observes Naruto with a critical eye and mutters "I hope your right…. Kami." while wondering how this change will affect the Elemental Nations.

Sensing the mortals approaching since the barrier went down with the Uzumaki woman's death, the Death God departed for his realm. Arriving on the scene, we see an old man with a big bo-staff dressed in battle armor, seeing a dead Minato and Kushina lying a small distance away from each other with a crying Naruto on the sealing altar.

Picking Naruto up from the sealing altar the Sandaime says, "None of you will tell anyone of what happened here, those who do shall be executed without trial, do you understand?" he asked. "Hai Sandaime-sama!" the two shinobi chorused.

As he walked around the scene he walked into the room where was born, he saw the two dead bodies on the floor, turning them around he saw it was the ANBU operative Taji and his wife Biwako Sarutobi.

As tears begin to appear in his eyes, the former Sandaime thought in sadness 'Biwako my dear'. His sadness starts to change into anger and he thought 'Damn you Kyuubi.' As baby Naruto starts to cry due to sensing his anger, he composed himself and his thoughts as he adopts a sad face and says, "Good then, get these bodies and let's get back to the village, tonight we shall mourn for the fallen and tomorrow we will hold a village funeral for all the heroes who fell tonight in service of the village"
