Thoughts

Minato Namikazi, the fourth hokage was on his way to die and place a burden that just might torture his son for the rest of his life, however on the bright side everyone else would live and hopefully the people might treat his son like a hero.

"Jiraya, I need you to hold Naruto still while i prepare the seal."

"Minato, there has got to be a different way to do this, you don't have to die, you have a son that was just born into this world that needs you, just teach me how to do the seal and I will take your place" pleaded Jiraya.

"We don't have the time, the sealing needs to be done now before anyone else gets killed" said Minato still scribing the kanji's needed for the sealing onto his son's stomach. "Jiraya, the sealing itself takes about 5 minutes, I need you to make sure that everything goes alright, and if you can, find out why Kyuubi is attacking, its been the leaf's guardian for the last millennium and suddenly it decides to attack, something seems wrong, but i can't risk anymore lives with it running around".

Jiraya just turned his head looking to where the leaf's shinobi were stalling the Kyuubi, awaiting for Minato. "It's finished, let's go before anyone else gets hurt."

Quickly Minato and Jiraya bounded off into the direction in which all Konoha's problems were happening.

Minato stopped 100 meters away from the Kyuubi and quickly did a summoning Jutsu and summoned an old friend.

Quickly looking around before pausing and looking at Minato, "I guess it's time isn't it? The sealing looks proper and I'm guessing I'm needed to stall it?" assumed Gamabunta.

"I'm sorry Gamabunta, I would leave you out of it if I could but the village is at stake, just think of this as a final request along with looking after my son for me after I'm gone" replied Minato jumping swiftly onto the giant toad.

"Jiraya are you ready?" asked Minato looking over his shoulder.

The only reply Minato had gotten was Jiraya quickly jumping off into the direction of the Kyuubi.

When Jiraya had gotten there he quickly scanned the field looking around for anything helpful or for anything that would provoke the Kyuubi into attacking, the only thing Jiraya had noticed was a figure wearing a spiral mask focusing on a Jutsu, Jiraya just assumed it was an attacking Jutsu meant to harm the Kyuubi before noticing that the Kyuubi was attacking everyone and everything except for that figure.

Jiraya soon realized that the Jutsu wasn't a ninjutsu but it was a genjutsu. "Rasengan!" Jiraya yelled charging at the figure causing him to lose focus to dodge the fatal attack. The figure soon realized that the genjutsu was disrupted over the Kyuubi and Shunshined away making his escape.

Jiraya looked up and saw the Kyuubi's malice had disappeared as it was looking around frightened and noticed the collar around it's neck meaning that Minato had already started the sealing and that it was about to be over very soon.

Jiraya rushed back to Minato fast as he could attempting to reach him in time before the sealing was finished.

Jiraya had arrived just in time to see the sealing finished along with Minato next to Naruto with a blissful expression on his face thinking that he was dying sealing a bloodthirsty demon away forever, saving his village, which seemed to be a fitting way to die for a hokage.

Jiraya though, went over to Minato to see his final moments, not saying anything about the Kyuubi being innocent less causing Minato's final moments to be in turmoil.

"Kushina, I'm coming" murmured Minato before slowly closing his eyes, slipping into what seemed to be a peaceful slumber.

Jiraya had been unsure of what to do, but he knew that Minato needed to be brought back to the village, and Naruto needed to be checked to make sure the seal was properly put on and that the seal wouldn't cause problems for him.

With Minato over his shoulder and Naruto in his arms, Jiraya rushed back to the village in hopes of finding Sarutobi knowing the former hokage would know what to do.

When Jiraya found Sarutobi, he was standing guard, protecting Konoha's academy, and its students from harm.

"Sarutobi, I need to speak with you" said Jiraya, quickly ushering Sarutobi into a private room, before casting a privacy Jutsu allowing them to speak freely as he also released his henge, showing he had Minato on his shoulder and Naruto in his arms.

"Sarutobi, the Kyuubi has been sealed inside Naruto, Minato's firstborn son" he stated, seeing the relieved expression on the old man's face. "However, during the sealing, we found the the Kyuubi was innocent, but i was too slow to stop it from being sealed, causing Minato to lose his life" he continued "Minato left us with a few requests and directions but it doesn't say much, all he stated was that he requested Naruto's heritage be kept a secret from him until he reaches the age of 16, or becomes strong enough to protect himself against A ranked ninja."

Sarutobi took everything into thought for a moment before asking Jiraya "does anyone know that the Kyuubi is sealed into Naruto besides you, me, and Minato?"

"Yes, just Gamabunta though he was there helping Minato with the sealing, but Minato also requested Gamabunt'a secrecy, so I think we're fine there" replied Jiraya.

Sarutobi contemplated everyone for a moment more before speaking "I will take up my former position as hokage, so we don't have to worry about that, Naruto however may be more difficult, If I keep him then it'll seem suspicious because Minato wanted Naruto's heritage to be kept a secret, so I will be forced to put him into an orphanage for now until I can put him into Ninja Academy unless..." without finishing his sentence he quicken turned to Jiraya and asked "what about you? couldn't you take Naruto with you and leave Konoha for a while?"

"No, with Minato dying and all, I'm going to need some time to clear my head before I take up my position as Naruto's godfather" he replied before releasing the privacy Jutsu, turning and walking out the door, leaving Sarutobi with Naruto.

Sarutobi trailed he way to the orphanage looking at Naruto thinking something was off, before he soon noticed that Naruto had marks on his face that looked like whiskers. Thinking to himself Sarutobi soon realized that if people saw it, they would make assumptions and soon Naruto would be targeted as if he was the Kyuubi itself.

Unsure of what to do about it, he just hoped for the best before knocking on the door of the orphanage.

"Hello, who is it- Oh, gosh, Sarutobi-sama I apologized I didn't know it was you" corrected the surprised caretaker.

"I have one more for the orphanage, both his parent's died during the final attack" Sarutobi quickly lied.

The caretaker quickly cursing the Kyuubi under her breath just took the bundle out of Sarutobi's hands and assured him that Naruto would be taken care of before closing the door.

Walking away from the orphanage Sarutobi, almost as if talking to himself just said "Naruto, I'm sorry but it's all for the best" shaking his head as he walked away leaving the Naruto at the orphanage as if leaving a newborn child in a den full of wolves.

A/N: So what did you all think? just a prologue, not really much but i guess it sorta builds up tension for the real thing... Sorta like a teaser, well actually this really is sorta teaser anyways, yes this story is going to be the story replacing "Bonded Kitsunes" and I've decided to leave out the the "Risa" personality and just use "Rika" and yes this will be a harem, which will be decided after the poll on my author's page closes on January 10th or something near that...
