"Dragon (or demon) talking/Thoughts"

It was a dark night in the small village of Konoha. Snow had descended onto the village days before and by the late night of the 10th of October, it had been full covered in a thick blanket of snow. The village was filled with sound of a woman screaming, the sound was coming from a small house near the outskirts of the village which was crowded by a semi-circle of eager villagers. Under the moon's gaze the village appeared to be rather peaceful… that was soon to change.

"Ahhhhh!" A redheaded woman lay on top of a bed let out a chorus of ear-piercing screams. Her hand was holding, clutching the blond man's hand next to her.

"GAH!" The blond next to her was looking worse than she did, he lay on the floor next to the bed, his hand being violently tugged by the redhead, to the point where it looked ready to snap.

"Kushina stop squeezing my hand so much! It's going to break!" The blond man yelled.

The redhead ignored him and continued to, hell, it looked as if she started to crush it even more. A few seconds later the blond was fully lying on the floor, his body lying limply against the bed, his right hand still being crushed.

There were two others in the room, both clad in white uniforms, stood at the foot of the bed. They were willing the redhead on, telling her to keep pushing.

Eventually Minato felt his hand being released from the death grip. He looked up at the redhead ,who was panting heavily, his eyes widened when he saw one of the doctors holding a small bundle in their arms. He left out a relieved sigh massaging his wrist before pushing himself to his feet.

He began to walk toward the foot of the bed but was stopped by a gentle tug on the sleeve, he turned to look at Kushina who had a soft grip on his shirt.

" Minato" she whispered between gasps, " you promised that I could hold our child first, after all I did do most of the hard work."

Her last word were uttered with a hint of annoyance that he had forgotten the promise he had made, not wanting to anger her he backed away slightly letting the doctor hand the child to Kushina who accepted it gently. Kushina opened her mouth ready to say something but instead tears slowly rolled down her cheeks as she hugged the child lovingly to her chest. Minato went over and sat on the side of the bed wrapping his arms around the child and his wife.

"So" Minato whispered to his wife, " have you thought of a name for him?"

"Yes" she smiled, "Naruto."

Minato smiled and kissed her on the cheek, "I like it. So are you ready to tell the villagers?"

She nodded and extended the child towards the doctors, they began walking forwards to accept the child from his mother, but were halted when a large tremor caused them to lose their footing and fall to the ground harshly. Kushina instinctively held the child to her chest as the house shook violently and the screams of the villagers filled the once calm atmosphere.

"What the hell!?" Minato cried as he was flung from the bed onto the floor.

He quickly sprang to his feet to make sure that his family was safe, upon seeing they were fine he rushed to the door flinging it open with ease. He looked outside to see all of the villagers staring in shock at something near the centre of the village.

"Wha-what.." Minato stuttered, looking in the same direction as the villagers.

He was staring at an enormous dragon that easily dwarfed the house that littered the village. The dragon had two curved horns jutting from the top of its head, its body was covered in pitch black scales that seemed to be illuminated under the moon's light. An eerie black mist was coming from the dragon's body that made it look even more intimidating. The dragon took as step towards the flock of villagers who were either too scared to move or had been knocked down by its landing. Every step that it took caused the village to shake and left and imprint in the thick snow beneath its legs. Its tail swished behind it lazily, every now and then it would smash into one of the houses causing severe damage to it.

Minato grit his teeth looking at the incoming threat, "everyone get back!" he yelled as loud as he could.

The villager snapped out of the trance and began backing away from the dragon, towards the house. Minato did the opposite, he walked cautiously towards the dragon, slowly pulling a three-pronged kunai from the pouch around his waist. Beads of sweat ran down his brow as he came within steps of the beast.

"Damn" he thought, "why now? I can't defeat this thing without putting the villagers, Kushina and Naruto at risk. I'll have to lure it away, it's my only chance."

Minato's eyes widened as the dragon's maw spilt into a mocking grin. By time he noticed why it was too late, the dragon's tail had soared past Minato and straight at the villagers behind him with the intent to impale them. Minato summoned a blue seal in his hand before throwing the hand behind him, causing a blue sphere to form in his hand.

"Wind magic: Rasengan" Minato flicked his hand forwards, driving the sphere into the dragon's tail. He didn't manage to cause significant damage to the beast but it did redirect its tail, causing it to land in the ground just left of the house and out of the way of the villagers.

The dragon's gaze had flickered from Minato to its tail, watching it as it was blown to the side, saving the villagers. It returned its sight back to the spot where Minato had been stood, only to find that he was no longer there.

"Flying thunder god technique" the dragon felt something touch its stomach but was powerless as it was teleported away from the village.

Back inside the house, Kushina had managed to get to her feet cradling Naruto in her arms. She searched around the room, her vision blurry from the multiple shockwaves. She eventually reached the door and pulled it open weakly.

"What's going on?" She whispered, her breath hitched in her throat as she looked at the ruined village.

"Kushina are you okay?" One of the villagers asked.

"I'm fine, but what's happened? Where's Minato? Is he okay?" She questioned frantically.

The villagers murmured amongst themselves trying to come up with an answer to her questions.

"There was a dragon" one man pointed out, " it tried to attack us but Minato saved by using his teleportation magic to get it away from the villages.

Kushina's eyes widened in dismay, "Minato, please be okay." She gripped Naruto tightly looking at him with comforting eyes as the child cried constantly, "Don't worry it'll all be okay, your father can handle this."

"Summoning magic: Gamabunta" Minato slammed his palm into the ground beneath him causing a torrent of smoke to appear which drifted away revealing a toad that was around three times the size of the dragon.

The dragon's eyes narrowed looking at the toad, it looked it up and down a few times before letting out a deafening roar.

"Yo, boss why'd you call me out for a small fry like this?" The toad asked staring down at the menacing dragon, "Surely you can't be having trouble with a mere dragon?"

Minato chuckled; he was stood atop the toad looking down at the dragon that appeared to be in deep thought.

"I'm afraid this things been quite a pain, trust me don't underestimate it, it can attack in an instant." He then reached into the pouch pulling out a scroll which he carefully un-ravelled.

He placed his hand onto the magic seal in the middle of the scroll before throwing it above the dragon. The scroll let out another burst of smoke; however this smoke didn't disperse as quickly. Instead the same three-pronged kunais that he had used before, to get close to the dragon to teleport it, began to rain down from the smoke and shower the dragon.

The dragon shrieked with laughter as the kunais bounced off of his hard scales and landed on the ground, seemingly useless. What the dragon failed to notice was that he had been surrounded by hundreds of the weapons.

"Gamabunta." Minato shouted, his eyes still stuck to the dragon. "Back me up, okay?"

"Sure thing" the toad smirked placing its hand on the sword strapped across its back, he pulled it slightly from the sheath.

"GO!" Minato ordered as he disappeared in a flash of blue light.

The dragon tilted its head in confusion, it had lived a long life but not once had it seen a human disappear out of thin air.

"Raargh!" The dragon was snapped from its thoughts as it had only a split second for its tail to shoot up, just managing to block the overhead swing of the toad's blade.

The two giants struggled for dominance using their full force to fight each other off. Gamabunta began to slide backwards, his legs gave way for a slight moment which didn't go un-noticed by his opponent. Using the slight opening to its advantage the dragon slipped though the toad's guard with a tremendous burst of speed and used its side to smash into the toad crushing him between the cliff behind him and the dragon's powerful body.

As the dragon backed away from its prey, its ears pricked up noticing a strange chiming sound behind it. It turned to find the source of the sound spinning straight towards him.

"Wind magic: Rasenshuriken" the attack hit the dragon head on, it expanded into a gigantic sphere that crushed the dragon into the ground.

Minato landed next to one of his kunais, he peered into the crater that his attack had formed. He expected the dragon to be dead, or at least injured. However it merely shook of the attack as it stood back up. Minato disappeared in another flicker preparing his next move.

The dragon stumbled out of the crater that the attack has created in an attempt to recover.

"Wind magic: Giant Rasengan" The dragon felt a sharp pain in its side as a sphere similar to that which knocked its tail away, but much larger was driven into its body

The dragon roared in pain as it was thrown into the same cliff that Gamabunta had just managed to peel himself off of. When it had gotten up from the torrent of attacks it surveyed the area in search of the blond, yet once again he could not find the man. The dragon started to walk towards the village intending to draw the man out through threatening those he loved, but was blocked by the toad who offered him a smirk as he pulled the sword fully from its sheath.

"Time for round 2" the toad roared sending a slash at the dragon's scowling visage.

The dragon opened its mouth, a swirl of the thick, shadowy mist appeared before its razor sharp teeth. The spiral of shadow grew larger until the dragon swallowed it.

"What the he.." Gamabunta was unable to finish his sentence as a blast of dark energy hit him in the mid-section sending him flying backwards; he was only stopped by a harsh impact with countless trees as he tumbled across the ground, leaving a large scar from where his body was dragged across the terrain.

The dragon watched the toad's lifeless body at the end of the scar, its mouth opened revealing a sickening grin as it switched its gaze to stare at the snow-covered village.

Minato watched Gamabunta being man-handled by the dragon's attack. He silently apologised to the toad before reverse summoning him. He disappeared as he saw the dragon look at the smoke which replaced the toad's large body, most likely wondering what happened.

Minato re-appeared on the back of the dragon, courtesy of a kunai which was stuck between the dragon's scales. A large seal appeared before him, he placed the kunai into the seal causing it to disappear in the usual flash of light.

The dragon reared up onto its hind legs in an attempt to shake Minato from its back. In its struggle to remove the human, it failed to notice all of the kunais had begun glowing a bright blue light.

"Flying thunder god technique – flash bang" A clone of Minato appeared at each of the separate kunais, each clone has a large blue sphere in hand. They charged at the beast, which was still on its hind legs.

True to its name the technique blinded the dragon with the multiple flashes of blue lights emitted from the spheres. It also lived up to the 'bang' part which came from the giant explosion as each of the sphere swarmed the dragon burying him beneath the attacks.

Minato landed metres away from the explosion, panting heavily. He squinted his eyes in an attempt to see into the dust that the attack had kicked up. His eyes widened in panic, he was forced to jump away as the dragon's maw lunged through the dust attempting to make Minato into his snack. Once it saw that Minato had escaped into the air, it pushed off the ground in pursuit.

Minato summoned a magic seal in between both of his hands. He watched as the dragon neared him at a frightening speed, its mouth fully open desperately trying to swallow the man whole.

"Gotta time this right" Minato thought as he began to descend right into the dragon's open mouth.

Just as the dragon clamped its teeth together thinking he had finally caught Minato, it felt a metal object pierce into its unprotected snout. It roared in a mixture of pain and anger but still managed to make out the blue flash which appeared on its snout.

"Perfect" Minato stated. He jumped off of the dragon's snout back into the air.

"Wind magic: Rasenshuriken" the blue sphere with the shuriken-like cloak around it appeared in Minato's hand. He prepared himself to throw it, narrowing his eyes, not wanting to mess it up.

"Shadow dragon magic: Shadow cannon"

Minato's expression became a mixture of shock and despair. The shock was a cause of hearing the dragon speak, he had never heard a dragon speak, but then again this was the first dragon he had met. The despair was caused by looking into the pillar of pure shadow heading towards him, courtesy of the dragon.

"Gotta make this count" Minato's eyes set into a look of determination as he threw his Rasenshuriken at the incoming blast.

The two attacks met in a huge explosion, the Rasenshuriken appeared to be being pushed back by the dragon's attack.

"Wind magic: Rasenshuriken!"

Another Rasenshuriken collided with the blast turning the tide completely. The combined force of both of the attacks pushed the dragon's blast back with ease.

"Shadow dragon magic: separation"

As the dragon uttered the words, though muffled by his original attack, its attack split into 4 separate, small orbs of shadow which bypassed the Rasenshurikens and collided full force into Minato's airborne form causing a giant explosion.

This attack came at a cost however, the two Rasenshurikens headed straight inside the dragon's open mouth where the expanded tearing the dragon apart from the inside.

All of the villagers, including Kushina watched in awe as both of the attacks hit the respective opponent, sending Minato spiralling to the ground below him whilst the dragon exploded leaving a shadowy mist in its place.

"Minato!" Kushina screamed, starting to run towards where she saw his body fall to.

"Wait!" multiple villagers ordered, grabbing her trying to stop her from going over to the battlefield.

"Let go!" she commanded, "He's injured!"

"But the dragon may still live" one of the villagers protested.

"What?! You saw the explosion, there's no way it could have survived!"

"Don't you find it strange?" another villager asked, "the dragon exploded, but instead of blood there was only that strange mist. We can't let you go there until we are sure that it is dead."

"…." Kushina was silent for a while, "Fine, but if something happens to Minato…" She trailed off unable to finish her sentence. Unbeknownst to the villagers, the real Kushina had snuck past them leaving the clone to fool them as she took off towards Minato's landing point. She was still clutching Naruto to her chest.

Minato gasped for breath desperately as he lay in a pool of his own blood caused by the dragon's attack.

"I need to get to the village; I can't let it attack, if it survived."

"Gah!" With one last pull Minato managed to pull himself from the crater and slowly rolled to his back. He looked up at the sky a look disbelief marring his face.

"This can't be happening" He thought letting out a small chuckle.

In the sky above Minato was a giant sphere of the same shadowy energy that the dragon emitted. After what seemed to be minutes the sphere exploded dispersing the shadowy mist. Hovering in the sky where the sphere had been was the dragon; its wings flapped continuously keeping it aloft as it scanned the area for Minato. When it had finally found his downed form it let of and ear-splitting roar before landing a couple feet away from the blond.

"I'm impressed human." The dragon stated a look equal to Minato's on its visage. "A human who doesn't possess dragon slayer magic actually managed to harm me, even if it was only temporary."

Minato let out a weak chuckle, his eyes meeting with the dragons. "That's a pretty handy ability you've got. No one has ever survived a direct hit from one of my Rasenshurikens, let alone two at the same time."

The dragon let out its own chuckle, "Tell me your name human, I'll remember it in the years to come. Any human that can force me to regenerate earns my upmost respect.

"Minato. Minato Namikaze" He wheezed to the dragon.

"Kage, the shadow dragon." The dragon grinned, happy with his introduction.

Minato sweat dropped at the dragon's gleeful grin, "Was that supposed to be frightening or something?"

"WATCH YOUR MANNERS BRAT!" The dragon's face was tinted red with anger and embarrassment and a comical tick mark has formed below his horns.

"Hahaha, you know you're not such a bad guy when you get past the whole 'trying to kill my village' part." Minato's expression returned to being serious, "I don't suppose you can spare my village?"

"…"The dragon seemed to ponder the question for a moment, "No, if I were to do that, then I would have to break the cycle."

"The cycle? What's that?"

"It would be pointless to tell you; even if you have earned my respect I don't trust you enough to tell you about that which binds the entire dragon race."

"I see…" Minato managed to slowly push himself to his feet and even then his body threatened to give in on him. "Thanks for our little chat, but…"

Minato glared at the dragon, his eyes a torrent of determination, "There's no way I'll allow you to destroy my village!"

"…. Minato, I'll provide you with a quick death, one that a human such as yourself deserves." With them words he raised his tail behind him.

"Shadow dragon magic: impaling lance" Its tail lunged around its large frame, straight towards Minato.

"Binding magic: unbreakable bonds"

In an instant the dragon had been pinned to the floor by numerous chains which had come from the trees behind Minato.

"This magic" Minato thought. He spun around towards the source of the chains, his wife, Kushina.

"Minato! Thank god you're okay!" Just like before, she had their child clutched to her chest. However there was a noticeable difference: from her stomach came the multiple chains, the same which had pinned the dragon to the floor, preventing it from harming Minato.

Minato blinked countless times, trying to make sure that he wasn't imagining his wife's sudden appearance. "Kushina, what are you doing here? Why have you brought Naruto?"

"Minato, we both know why I've brought him here." She refused to make eye contact with her husband. "You saw first-hand what the dragon is capable of. He regenerated from being blown up from the inside."

She looked up, finally making eye-contact. "Minato, the only way of protecting the village is to seal it away!"

"Gahaha, there's no way that any human can seal me away; just like a shadow no human can harm me." It grinned proudly at his last statement, waiting for the chains to release him.

"Okay." A large, black seal between Minato and the dragon, he turned to face it.

"Sealing magic: reaper death seal" Minato chanted the words and watched as the seal disappeared.

After the seal had disappeared a ghost like figure appeared behind Minato. It wore a white robe covering its grey skin; its hair was purple in colours and covered him like a mane. He had two horns protruding from the top of his head though the hair. In its mouth was a small dagger held in place by its razor sharp teeth. The most frightening feature was the featureless body that was held in front of it.

Minato pointed forwards at the dragon, and almost instantaneously a hand shot though the featureless body's and Minato's stomachs causing the latter to cringe in pain.

"Kushina, prepare Naruto for the sealing."

"O-Okay" She was caught off guard at the hand piercing the blonde's stomach, she had been told about the sealing magic but had never seen it before. She pulled out a scroll and unsealed it revealing a chair which was surrounded by candles.

"What the hell?" the dragon stared at its stomach which had also been pierced by the stretched hand. It suddenly felt a strange pull from the hand and saw that I was pulling something from his stomach. It's soul.

The dragon began to struggle furiously, it had encountered many humans who used sealing magic, but not once had he felt one which had a physical effect on him. For the first time, Kage doubted his immortality against humans and for the first time he felt a new emotion. Worry.

"Gah!" Minato struggled endlessly as he attempted to pull the soul from the dragon. Obviously this was the first time he had used the magic since it forfeits the user's life, he had purposely missed out that information to Kushina, knowing that she would forbid him to use it, even in a time like now.

SNAP!

The sound rang through the air attracting the attention of Minato and Kushina.

Kage's tail had been freed from the chain and it lunged towards them instantly. No. It lunged towards Naruto.

"You think I don't see what you're trying to do!?" Kage roared.

The tail was closing in on the child…

"What..." The dragon watched in annoyance.

Both Minato and Kushina had got in between the tail and Naruto. They had both been pierced though the back by the dragon's tail managing to stop its momentum by dragging their feet across the ground. The tail was inches from the child's face but was unable to go any further.

"Argh!" Minato and Kushina held onto the tail stubbornly keeping it from going any further.

"Minato…why didn't you let me stop the tail alone? We didn't have to both die." She wheezed.

"Hehe... I was going to die either way."

"What are you talking about?"

"The reaper death seal..." He paused as blood erupted from his mouth. "…the magic takes the users life as forfeit."

"What?!" She shouted weakly, "why didn't you tell me? We could have found another way…"

"Strange I thought you said that there was no other way earlier? Why is it that my death changes this?" He smirked, resting his head on her shoulder. "Well I guess it's time to say goodbye to our son."

Both of the parents had tears streaming down their cheeks as they watched their child toss in the seat, unbeknownst to the danger him and his parents where in.

"Naruto…" Kushina started, "be safe growing up. Don't be picky, eat lots and grow strong. Make sure that you bathe every day and stay warm. Also, don't stay up late, you need lots of sleep. And make friends, you don't need a lot of friends, just a few. Ones you can really, really trust. I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your spells hard, remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses, so don't get too depressed if you can't do something well. Oh, and this is important, it's about the Three Prohibitions for a mage: be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Put your mission wages into your savings account. No alcohol until you're twenty. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation. Another Prohibition is women. I'm a woman, so I don't know too much about this but. All you need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women, so it's only natural to take an interest in girls. But just don't get hooked on bad women, find someone just like me. Naruto, from now on, you're going to face lots of pain and hardship. Be true to yourself. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true. There's so much. Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you. I wish I could stay with you longer. I love you"

"Hehe, I'd give you some advice too, but it looks like your mother has covered everything." Minato chuckled.

He looked over his shoulder; the reaper had just about finished pulling out the dragon's soul. It raised one of its hands which had, what seemed to be, prayer beads wrapped around it. Its other hand pulled out the small dagger from its mouth and held it above its head.

"Naruto, good luck in the future. Remember that I and your mother will always be there with you."

"Goodbye Naruto!" both the parents whispered.

The reaper brought it's blade down which cut through the soul with ease, separating it from the dragon's body.

The dragon let out a final roar: "Curse you Minato. How dare you seal me inside a mere brat!"

Minato smiled at the dragon's threat before his eyes slowly closed for the last time, the smile etched to his lips.

The dragon's body disappeared as its soul was sealed into Naruto. A seal appeared on Naruto's stomach. (Author's note: the seal is the same eight trigrams seal which Minato uses to seal the Kyuubi into Naruto. I decided to link the eight trigram sealing style and the reaper death seal into one single magic.)

The reaper disappeared along with the dragon's body, leaving the two lifeless bodies of Minato and Kushina on the ground next to the seat which Naruto had been placed in.

"There they are!" A voice came from the forest. Villagers came flooding from the forest. They held simple weaponry such as rusted swords and some even held pitchforks. They surrounded the two lifeless bodies surveying the scene.

"…" An old man wearing a white robe picked up Naruto from the chair, "Prepare a burial for them"

"O-Ok" the villagers responded shocked at the scene.

The old man noticed the smile on Minato's face and let out an emotionless chuckle.

"So Minato. You left a legacy one way or another" He looked at the child in his arms. A few of his tears fell to the snowy ground.

"Naruto Uzumaki" He sighed, "if your whole life is as chaotic as your birth, you're going to have one hell of a journey ahead of you."

He paused.

"Just like your father."

Finished,

I honestly wasn't going to introduce Naruto's birth until later into the story, but I decided to get it over with straight away. The chapter was quite hard to type since I decided to include it in at the last minute which is why it may seem pretty bad or rushed XD.

The pairing will be Naruto X Erza. I know that people think it's overdone, but i'm going with what I want to do in regards to the pairing.

I will include polls later on for ideas, etc.

As you've probably noticed there aren't any ties to the ninja realm. Therefore, Minato and Kushina are both mages and the village is in Fiore. I cut the ties with ninja realm as it was the easiest way to introduce Naruto into earth land from the ninja realm.

I made Minato stronger hence why he used attacks such as the Rasenshuriken and I added an attack for him. This is because Naruto won't be using wind magic in the story and therefore is unable to use the Rasenshuriken so I gave it to Minato. However Naruto will a few attacks similar to the Rasengan but will revolve around the magic that he will be using.

I will tell you that Naruto will be using dragon slayer magic (after all he does have a dragon inside of him, and the title gives away the other dragon slayer magic), so yes he will be using two types of dragon slayer magic.

Naruto isn't going to be overpowered, I will try to make the use of two dragon slayer magic's fair and make sure that he doesn't dominate any opponents.

Also, I will be adding some attacks for characters which I think don't have a variety of attacks such as Erza. You'll get what I mean later on in the story.

I replace the Kyuubi with Kage who will play a similar role as the Kyuubi did but will fit in better with the crossover.

The story is going to be pre-canon for quite a few chapters as I have a lot in store for Naruto's growth.

That's about everything. I'll try to answer any questions in the reviews. Also i'd like to know how I could improve since it is my first story =). Any constructive criticism would be appreciated, but any sort of flaming will be ignored.

I'll try to aim for weekly updates ,

Thanks for reading =)
