Well like I said in chapter three of my Code Geass fanfic that I was going to start one more fanfiction and in case you haven't watched any shonen anime it's a Naruto fanfiction. Now before I start allow me to go on a disclaimer/rant so WARNING LONG AUTHOR'S NOTE. First off this is a narusaku fanfiction. Second I do like both Hinata and naruhina even though she's a tool with no personality, piss poor development, and at times she acts like a complete and total idiot.

I say this because I DON'T GIVE A SINGLE FUCK ABOUT YOUR STUPID PAIRING WARS! I say this cause the pairing wars in this community are what makes it so toxic. Like 80 percent toxic. All the trolling, insensitive, and downright stupid bullshit stems from their petty pairing wars and need to validate their pairing or chosen character. So up front I don't give a damn about whether Naruto was supposed to get with Hinata, or should have gotten with Sakura. Ok? I didn't even hate the ending that much (although I did hate how easily Sasuke got off, the fact that Sakura still fell for this dick weed, the fact that they made Naruto an asshole and how bad of a farther and husband both he and Sasuke are, and the fact that 90 percent of the parings made no fucking sense) I don't care. I don't even mid that Sakura got with Sasuke (to an extant). The only problem I have with it is that he's an international criminal and tried to kill her and Naruto (her best friend) a total of five times, and joined two terrorist organizations that were trying to either destroy her home, kill her best friend, or both all the while being a douchey jackass. Hell, three of my top ten favorite pairings are sasusaku like. Those being Inukag number 6, Tomoya and Kyou number 5, and Kallen x Lelouch number two. So, I'm very open to a sasusaku relationship. Hell, I thought that the manga would end with no pairing becoming cannon.

Now I will warn you I do plan on partially reconstructing Hinata's personality from the ground up. Now that doesn't mean it's going to be completely different like in return to ninja, oh hell no, she'll still be shy, she'll still be reserved and a nadeshiko I just plan on expanding on her personality. If you want an example of what I'm talking about basically I'm going to make her more like Orihime (aka the good Hinata with both development, a point in the plot and a good well-made personality) but with strict ojou sama traits instead of air headed genki traits. So, a lot like a combination of Satellizer from freezing and Yami from to love ru. Now I don't plan to focus on her too much but I do plan on developing her on occasion. So, if that's not your thing you have been warned.

Also, Hinata isn't the only thing I'm changing. I also plan on changing a lot of the basics around the plot, the bijuu and some of their powers, along with other abilities, character history, and over all history for the sake of both consistency and simplicity. And most of that comes from abandoning 90% of everything that happens during the fourth shinobi war and going from there except for Naruto's bijuu abilities and not the ones he got from the other eight bijuu and other overpowered god mode Mary sue bullshit. So, rejoice no tobito. Also, I'm going to be using the English names of everything since the Japanese ones confuse me. Ok I think I've covered everything that needs establishing beforehand so let's get on to the actual story.

Chapter 1 "Beginning of a new life"

October 10, 1988 a.n

The sun rose in the sky above the Village Hidden in the Leaves nestled in the middle of fire country. Despite being October the temperature in fire country didn't dip below 70 degrees in the open sun. Walking amongst the crowded villagers was a 24-year-old 10-month pregnant woman with waist length red hair with her bangs held back by a black hair clip on the left side of her face. She had violet amethyst eyes, a slender feminine figure, and wore a white zip up high collared short sleeved blouse under a shin length loose fitting sleeveless green dress, a black bracelet and lavender sandals. Kushina Uzumaki carried a basket full of various baby items from diapers to clothes, to bottles and toys for the impending birth of her son. Kushina's amethyst eyes shinned in the bright sunlight she gazed down at her swollen stomach as she thought of the child inside it. 'It won't be much longer Naruto. Once you're born you, Minato, and I going to be a big happy family.' Kushina thought as she rubbed her pregnant stomach with a small smile before she got large grin on her face.

'Then when you're older I'll teach you all kinds of pranks we can pull on your poor old daddy.' Kushina laughed mischievously at the thought of teaching her child her prankster ways. It had been years since she had an excuse to pull a prank and she couldn't wait to show her little boy the "family tradition" of pranking others. Kushina continued to walk down the street before she turned off to head down the residential district. Kushina Uzumaki walked back to her home in excitement at what was going to be happening today. Today was the day when her and her husband's son would be born. It was exciting at first knowing that they would be parents and a little scary.

Despite being married for two years now Kushina and Minato kept their marriage a secret from everyone except her friend Mikoto Uchiha, the third hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Minato's sensei and Naruto's future godfather Jiraiya, and Minato's own students Kakashi and Rin. But once she got pregnant it became harder and harder to hide their relationship. Kushina sighed as she finally got to the metal steps that lead to her and Minato's house that sat two and a half stories high with a standard living space on the top floor and a large training area bellow it on the ground level. The house had a roof top patio and a large store house built on the back of the house as tall as the rest of the house.

'Minato has so many enemies, both in stone and cloud that it makes it hard to have a public relationship.' Kushina sighed as she opened the door to her home and walked in. Kushina walked through the door and headed into the nursery she and Minato had set up and began to unpack the things she bought. Kushina never liked keeping secrets and was never any good at keeping them. 'And it only got worse when he became hokage and then all the horny floozies came out the wood work to flirt with my husband.' Kushina thought in irritation as she continued to put the items away in the nursery before she went about her day cleaning her home until Minato came home.

As the day crawled on the sun began to set over the leaf village signifying the day was coming to yet another end. In his office 24-year-old Minato Namikaze counted the minutes until he could leave. Today was the day that Kushina was due to give birth to their son. Kushina always said that she was going to have a boy and he believed her. After all a mother knows what's growing in her better than anyone else did, right? The whole day Minato felt on edge, the minutes felt like hours and the hours felt like days. Once the sun began to set Minato smiled as he got up and began to leave the tower in as fast of a walk as he could before he began to jump from building to building toward his home.

Once he reached his front door he looked inside to see Kushina sitting at their kitchen table with both Hiruzen in his old kage robes and his wife Biwako. "Lady Biwako, Lord Hiruzen what are you doing here?" Minato asked as he took a seat next to his wife.

"Ah Minato good we were just about to start." Hiruzen said nodding to his successor as he walked in.

"Were here about the birth of your child, and the danger involved with it." Biwako said to the two picking up after her husband.

Kushina and Minato looked at each other in confusion before turning toward the older couple in front of them. "Danger? What danger?" Kushina asked in confusion. It didn't make any sense. She heard that child birth could hurt but never that it was dangerous.

"You see Kushina during pregnancy a jinchiuriki's seal grows weaker as more of their chakra is used to nurture their infant. This allows the tailed beast sealed away to potentially beak free." Biwako said to the two in front of her.

Kushina looked at the two in front of her in annoyance and anger as she looked at the older woman. "And you never thought to tell me this till the day I'm supposed to give birth instead of before I decide to get pregnant?"

While he wouldn't admit it in front of the older couple Minato did agree with his wife's complaint. 'If they had told me this a few months ago, I could have reinforced the seal properly. Now I'm going to have to give it an impromptu reinforcement that might not hold.'

Neither Biwako nor Hiruzen looked bothered by the statement as Hiruzen continued. "Unfortunately, we only came across this information just recently. Information on this is very hard to come by. After all, Kushina you're the second Jinchiuriki we've had, and your predecessor was very secretive about her weaknesses just like you."

The young woman nodded her head at the statement still not liking it. 'Figures being a woman would give me an extra weakness.' Kushina thought in contempt of the situation she was in.

"So, what are we gonna do then?" Minato asked in concern for his wife and unborn son.

Hiruzen nodded at Minato's question as he stroked his beard in contemplation of how to proceed. "Well to make sure that Kushina is able to safely able deliver your child we are going to have to move her to a secure location outside the village under a barrier so that we can insure that the Nine Tails doesn't free itself. This will have to be kept a secret and we will need a full anbu detail to guard the birthing site at all times. "Hiruzen said to the couple who nodded in response.

"Ok then I'll have an anbu squad deployed immediately to the safe house five miles out south of the village." Minato said to the two in front of him as he began to head to his wall phone to make some calls.

Kushina left the room to pack up all the things she would need for an overnight trip and for her upcoming birth. Once she was finished packing she reentered the living room to see that Minato and Hiruzen had both left. "Were did Minato go?" Kushina asked the older woman as she looked around her for her husband of six years.

Biwako walked over to the Uzumaki woman and took the bag from her and motioned for her to follow her. "He went on ahead to brief the Anbu squad. Now follow me. I want to be there before night fall."

Biwako said to the woman as they began to leave Kushina's home and head toward the southern gate. Biwako lead Kushina through the dusk lit village toward the main road of the village. As they traveled on the empty dirt roads Kushina saw a woman with navy hair and coal black eyes holding a small infant. Kushina smiled as she recognized the woman in front of her. "Mikoto!" Kushina waved to the woman as she sped up to her. "Hello Kushina. Where are you of to?" Mikoto asked her red haired best friend as she cradled the infant in her arms.

"Today's my due date so I'm leaving the village to have my delivery. "Kushina said as she rubbed her stomach as she gazed down at child in her best friend's arms. "Hey Mikoto is this your new baby? He's so cute" Kushina asked as she smiled at the sleeping infant.

Mikoto nodded her head as she smiled at her baby. "His name is Sasuke. Fugaku and I named him after the third Hokage's Farther." Mikoto said to the red head in front of her. Mikoto gazed at her pregnant friend as she fawned over her 3-month-old infant. "Have you picked out a name for your child yet?"

Kushina nodded her head as she looked at the face of baby Sasuke as he stirred in his sleep. "I have. Minato and I decided to name him Naruto." Kushina said as she rubbed the dark tufts of hair on Sasuke's head. "I hope you two can grow up to be good friends." Kushina said as she stopped pampering the child before pulling in close to Mikoto and beginning to whisper in a nervous and slightly frightened voice. "By the way Mikoto, does it really hurt?"

Mikoto held in the giggle she felt coming on at seeing her friend frightened by something as a smile rolled onto her face." So, there is something frightens you. I'm surprised." Mikoto said as she watched as Kushina was dragged off by the older brunette woman with her.

"Come on Kushina before you end up giving birth in the middle of the street." Biwako said as she dragged Kushina down the dirt road. "And when your labor pains do start try not to cry out loud." Biwako said to the 24-year-old who nodded her head yes.

As the night fell over fire country a woman's screams of pain rang loudly through the rock walls of the safe house and into the ears of the anbu standing guard. "IT HURTS TTEBANE!" Kushina screamed in agony as she lay in the birthing position on a sterilized medical table.

Kushina writhed in pain as she attempted to push her son out from within her. To her side, Minato stood next to her worried for his wife who lay in pain while he tried to keep the fox spirit within her at bay. "Are you sure she's alright? Isn't there something you can do for her?" Minato asked in concern to Biwako and the medical anbu with them who stood in front of Kushina as she delivered.

"Yes, I'm sure. Women were made to take this pain unlike men. Now focus on sealing the nine tails." Biwako said in dismissal to the young hokage as she focused on the task in front of her. "Ok Kushina on three I want you to push. 1 2 3 push. "Biwako said to the red head who cried out in pain as she began to once again push.

Within the seal Kurama the Nine Tailed fox spirit laid on a floating rock with his limbs, chest and tails bound by stacks and chains completely restraining his movement. This was his life for over 200 years. Bound, enslaved, and controlled. He had to endure having his mind controlled and his will being taken from him by the damned eyes of the Uchiha for over a century. He thought back to the last time he felt soil beneath his feet and breathed in the fresh air around him, and gazed at the full moon lit sky.

'That damned Madara Uchiha. Because of him that damned wench Mito Uzumaki sealed me a way like I'm some common dog.' It was always the same, generation after generation. Humanity treated him as if he was nothing more than a weapon. Even his brothers and sisters weren't safe. One by one they were all hunted down and enslaved for their power. 'I may not get along with my siblings. But they are still my family. Even Kouko couldn't escape.' It was infuriating. Out of all of them the giant whale horse was a pacifist by nature and the gentlest out of them all.

For years, the nine Tailed Beasts were treated like weapons, treated as no better than objects. They were slaves. 'I am a sentient being, a person. I am no one's slave!' He hated them. Kurama wanted nothing more than to kill the damned humans that enslaved him, to regain his freedom, and exact his vengeance. Kurama felt as if he would never regain his freedom when he felt something he hadn't felt in over 50 years. 'My chains are loosening.' It was his chance. Finally, he had the chance to break free from his shackles. Finally, he could reclaim his freedom.

Minato stood by his wife's side when he felt activity from the Nine Tails. 'It's waking up.' He thought franticly as he began to suppress the beast. "Ok Kushina I can see the head. Give me one more push." The anbu nurse said to the red head as she used the last of her strength to push her son out into the world. The sounds of a baby's cry filled the air as Biwako and the nurse took the baby and began to clean it after cutting and closing its umbilical cord. Minato breathed out a sigh of relief at finally being able to see his son but he wasn't able to as burning red chakra raced out of Kushina's seal. 'Oh, no It's breaking loose!' Minato thought in a panic as he tried to keep the beast sealed but was blasted back by a large burst of chakra.

Kurama summed his massive strength and ripped his left arm free from its bindings before he then used it to free his right. Slowly Kurama ripped the chains and stakes from his body undoing his bindings and removing his shackles. Kurama let out a viscous roar as he removed his last stake from his body, the world outside finally opening to him.

Kushina yelled out in pain as the bubbling red chakra surrounded her body like water before it took on the shape of a fox's head before shooting out from her body and crashing through the ceiling and into the outside world. Minato rubbed his head in pain as he got up and ran over toward his wife. Kushina's body twitched and spasmed uncontrollably her body feeling as if it was on fire. "Biwako, Taji something's wrong with Kushina!" Minato screamed to the two who rushed over to Minato and Kushina to see her still spasming form. The med-nin placed her hands over Kushina's stomach and went white with what she felt going on in the woman's body. "Her Chakra coils are going into arrest! Her chakra circulatory system experienced severe damage. We need to operate on her now!" Taji screamed as a load roar filled the air around them.

Outside Kurama stood on his hind legs and roared in triumph at finally being free. Down below the four anbu stood in shock at the sight of the Nine Tails free from its captivity. "Finally, I'm free! After over 200 years I have my freedom. Now feel the power of the Nine-Tailed fox spirit!" Kurama yelled as he turned to the four and opened his mouth and began to form a large fireball between his jaws. "Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!" Kurama roared as a massive fireball flew from his jaws and vaporized the four anbu before they could defend themselves.

The explosion rocked the area around them wiping out everything in a massive fireball of destruction. Minato quickly grabbed his son wife, and the two medics and quickly teleported away before they were engulfed in it. The five landed in one of Minato's safe houses outside the village safe from the Nine Tails for the moment. Minato laid Naruto down on a large king sized bed as the two medics began to operate on Kushina, franticly trying to save her life. Minato cursed under his breath as he began to walk over to the nearest closet and began to get out his gear. 'Damnit. The Nine Tails is loose. I have to stop it before it tries to destroy the Village.' Minato quickly put on his green flak jacket, his white haori with its red flame trim as well as his headband before grabbling pouches filled with his standard tools and equipment. Minato began to head to the door before ha placed one of his flying raijin seals on Naruto. "How is Kushina?" Minato asked the two medics as he began to walk toward the door.

Biwako lifted her head to look at the blond hokage to see he was ready for battle. "She's stabilized for now but she won't be able to use any chakra for a few days, and she's going to need to stay sedated for a few hours while the pain subsides. "

Minato nodded as he began to leave the safe house. "Keep Kushina and Naruto here and don't move. I'm heading to the village." And in the blink of an eye Minato Namikaze became a blur as he raced to the Village hopping to beat the Nine Tails to it.

Everything in the Hidden Leaf Village was quiet in the late night as its citizens retired for the night to prepare for the upcoming day. At the Gate the ninja on guard heard a loud rumbling from beyond the gate. Before anyone could investigate the gate exploded into a cloud of smoke and burning rubble as a massive fireball collided with it. The roar of the explosion was defining to everyone around as the force blew down houses and buildings closest to the gate. Kurama burst through the smoke as he ran forward at high speed. Hearing the explosion many of the villagers exited their homes only to stand in shock at the site of the 200-foot fox standing on all fours amongst the flames of the destroyed gate. "Foolish humans. For over 200 years you have kept me enslave and locked away. For years, I have been your weapon, enslaved by the Uchiha and the Senju."

Around him Kurama watched in sadistic glee as the villagers stood frozen in fear and horror of the giant fox spirit. The air was quiet as Kurama continued its tirade. "Now you all will feel my wrath. Lightning Style: False Darkness. "Kurama fired a large bolt of bright blue lightning down the main road at the village's center, ripping and tearing the ground below it asunder leaving a trail of explosions in its wake that demolished the buildings on the main street. People screamed in horror, agony, and fear as their bodies were vaporized by the lightning, were crushed by the collapsing buildings, and burned in the flames. The stadium was demolished amongst the flames of the explosions, the hospital collapsed under the force of the powerful explosions. Kurama jumped into the center of the village and began to rip buildings from the ground throwing them in random directions and smashing everything in sight.

The leaf ninja quickly mobilized to confront the massive fox. From all around it Jutsu ranging from fireballs, to lightning bolts, to gusts of wind swarmed around the massive fox. Kurama growled at the annoyances as he swept his tail trough the hoard of ninja sending them all flying. Before he could continue his rampage Kurama was pelted by kunai that were wrapped in paper bombs. Kurama looked down to see more ninja attacking him from afar. Kurama growled in annoyance as he aimed another fire Jutsu at them. "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Ju" Before Kurama could let the fire balls fly he was hit by viscous punch to his jaw from his left sending him flying over the Village toward the hokage mountain before he was yanked by his tail and thrown in in the opposite direction in the uninhabited forest area of the village near the destroyed gate.

Kurama got back onto his feet shaking away his dizziness to see Choza Akimichi along with two other Akimichi standing in front of him grown to gigantic proportions. Kurama growled before launching a barrage of fireballs the size of its fist at the three Akimichis. The two Akimichis quick went through hand signs before slamming their hands on the ground "Earth Style: Mud Wall." A giant wall of solid stone erupted from the ground in front of them shielding them from the onslaught of fireballs. The two Akimichi strained against the hail of fireballs. The rock wall glowed a blazing red as the flames slowly began to melt the rock away. The two went through another set of hand signs before slamming their hands on the ground. "Earth style: earthquake slam." The ground in front of them was ripped asunder as it collapsed under itself in a large fissure headed straight for the giant fox. Kurama jumped of the collapsing ground as the ground bellow him turned into a large sinkhole.

As Kurama landed on the solid ground a loud whistling noise rang in the air as something flew toward him toward his face. He quickly raised his left hand in front of him easily catching a large staff that was at least 10 inches in diameter and what looked to be about five miles in length. Kurama peered out with his keen eyesight to see someone standing on top of a building in what appeared to be on old black ninja body suit with pieces of samurai armor. The former third hokage stood on top of the undamaged building holding Enma in his adamantine staff form extended to his maximum length hopping to strike the Nine Tailed fox before it could respond.

Kurama growled as he wrapped his fingers around the staff and viscously swung it and its wielder in a wide ark through the village, the still standing buildings around him, and tore the ground bellow him till he hit the wall of the gate surrounding the village. Hiruzen rubbed his head in pain from being swung through multiple buildings thankful that Enma protected him in a cage made of smaller black and yellow staffs that were spawned from the larger own he held. "Are you ok Sarutobi?" Hiruzen looked in front of him to see his partner's eye looking at him in concern. "Yes, Enma I'm fine." Hiruzen smiled at his partner as Enma shrunk back to his normal length. Hiruzen looked at the visage of the large fox standing amongst the ruins of the Leaf Village.

The flames of the burning buildings raged as the leaf ninja desperately tried to put out the flames and keep them from spreading. He turned to see as others desperately tried to dig anyone they could from the ruble of toppled buildings. All around him Ninja laid dead from their desperate attempt to stop the giant fox. And amongst the flames The Nine Tailed Fox stood tall and imposing its eyes glowing an evil bloody red with not a single injury anywhere on it. It was a site straight from the bowels of hell itself.

Minato landed on top of his head on the hokage monument and he gasped in horror at the site of the village in front of him. The gate was reduced to nothing but ash, the southern part of the village as well as the village center reduced to flaming ruble. A large scar was carved through southwestern corner of the village leaving nothing but crushed buildings in its wake. 'This is all my fault.' Minato thought in despair as he watched his home burn in front of him. He saw the Nine tails let out a loud and furious roar and his eyes hardened as he pulled out a three-pronged Kunai and held it close to himself before throwing it as hard as he could at the giant fox. The Kunai flew straight and true as it sailed over the Nine Tails' head. In less than a second Minato appeared over the giant fox and slammed his palm down onto the bright orange fur of the monster fox as he pulled them both through another of his many teleportation seals to his other safe house outside the village.

Kurama slammed down to the ground from being teleported out of the village. He looked around looking confused as he searched for who could possibly forcibly remove him from the village he set out to wipe from the surface of the world when a familiar voice touched his ears.

"Ninja art Summoning: Bring Down the House Jutsu."

Kurama cried out in pain and agony as he felt the weight of a 200-foot-tall toad crash onto his back forcing him to the ground in pain from having the abnormally large toad land on his back from high up in the air. Minato stood on top of Gamabunta's head as the large toad jumped off its canine opponent brining a lit pipe to his lips as he did. "The Nine tails? Minato I thought that overgrown hairball was supposed be sealed inside of your wife."

Minato didn't immediately reply as his large opponent began to get up on its feet. "Unfortunately, he broke free thanks to an unforeseen weakness in Kushina's seal. "

Gamabunta nodded as he blew out smoke from his pipe as The Nine Tails let loose an immense and defining roar of anger at the two. "I swear, First Jiraiya has me fight against Hanzo and his damned salamander, now you want me to fight against the strongest of the Tailed Beasts? You're lucky I like you two or I would leave you here to die."

Minato laughed under his breath as he gazed forward at the Nine Tailed fox as it lowered itself into a combative stance. "I appreciate it." Minato smiled as the two giants prepared to do battle. "Now let's go Gamabunta!" Minato yelled in a determined passion.

Gamabunta hopped toward the Nine Tails as fast as his legs could take him as the two did battle with the giant beast.

Hiruzen ran through the decimated streets of the leaf village running into the more densely populated areas of the village. He and everyone around saw Minato quickly appear from nowhere and just as quickly disappear with the Nine Tails in the blink of an eye. 'I have to bring Minato some backup.' As he ran down the burning streets he saw a group of Inuzuka and Akimichi lead by Tsume Inuzuka and Choza Akimichi digging out anyone they could from the collapsed buildings. "Choza, Tsume I need you to gather as many ninjas you can. We're going to go support Minato." Tsume stopped giving out orders to nod at the third hokage's request. Tsume went and gathered a group of thirty ninja as she went back to help the rescue crews.

Hiruzen took a quick look around to see that none of the gathered Ninja were from the Uchiha or the Hyuga but pushed the thought out of his mind. He could worry about that later. "The fourth hokage is currently doing battle with the Nine Tails outside the village. But even the Hokage can't hold off that beast on his own. We are going to go and help hold that beast off and keep it out of the village. I don't expect many of us to come back alive but if we don't stop that thing it won't stop until till our family, friends, and loved ones end up dead as well."

Hiruzen watched as the ninja all nodded before he continued. "Good, I want any Inuzuka here to follow Minato's scent. We'll use it to ascertain his location. Now let's move out." And in a flash the platoon of ninja vanished in the blink of an eye.

Gamabunta jumped high into the calm and quiet night air as he barely dodged being eviscerated by The Nine Tails' claws as its clawed hand smashed into the ground bellow them. He brought his webbed hands together forming a tiger seal as his mouth flooded with chakra laced and highly pressurized water. "Water Style: Liquid Bullet." Gamabunta quickly spat out three large projectiles made of water and chakra at the fox. Kurama looked upward at the flying water bullets and formed a blazing red-hot ball of flames in his jaws. "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu." The fireball rushed forward at high speed at the airborne toad. The Fireball crashed into the water bullets causing a massive cloud of steam to roll over the battlefield. Out from the steam one of the liquid bullets slipped out from the steam soaring straight toward the fox at high speed. Kurama jumped backward from the water projectile letting it hit the ground harmlessly.

From the rising cloud of water Gamabunta leapt forward at the fox with his tanto drawn in his right hand and bracing it with his left. Kurama swung his right hand at sharp silver blade stopping it in its tracks with his claws. Kurama pulled his left arm back before delivering a vicious swipe with his claws at the toad boss's head. Gamabunta jumped over the blow barely avoiding having his head cleaved open. Gamabunta lashed his tongue out at the fox from above head aiming to bind the beast's neck. Kurama jumped backward from the toad's tongue as he retaliated by sending his tails out to impale the airborne toad.

Gamabunta fiercely ducked and dodged the lashing tails as they came at him form different angels of attack. Pushing off one of the striking tails Gamabunta landed on his feet out of harm's way of the giant fox and could finally catch his breath.

"Damn. This over grown mutt is more trouble than I thought." Gamabunta took a quick drag from his pipe. "I knew that this thing was tough but I didn't expect it to be this tough."

Minato stared forward at the fox as he began to gather his chakra as he made a couple of hand signs. "Gamabunta I'm going to need to borrow some of your chakra." Minato said as he began to leech chakra from the giant toad. "Earth Style: Dark Swamp." Minato let the chakra floe out into the earth below the giant multi tailed fox.

Kurama felt himself begin to sink into the ground bellow him as the once solid rock and soil below him turn into a thick quicksand like mud that hoped to swallow him whole. "Do you think this will stop me? Fire Style: Majestic Demolisher Flame!" Kurama let loose a vicious and concentrated flame from his mouth at the mud below him reducing much of the trees bellow him to ash and cinders as they were set ablaze.

Minato watched in shock as the giant fox both blocked of any way of approaching it, cut off any means of escape and set itself free in one move. 'The Nine Tails is completely immune to fire. By using its flames on the mud trapping it, it managed to turn the mud into rock and break free. It really is a crafty one.'

Minato starred at the giant fox spirit as it was bathed in the light of the bright red flames its eyes gleaming a bright sickening red. Kurama snarled in rage at the two as it braced itself on the ground stabbing its tails into the ground behind him. "Now prepare to die." Balls of blue and red chakra appeared over his opened mouth converging into a large purple glob bigger than his head.

Minato's eyes widened as he saw the large mass of dense chakra form in front of him. He yanked one of his special kunai from his bag with haste and flew through a flurry of hand signs. "Bunta brace yourself!" Minato yelled as he held his kunai in front of himself.

Kurama compressed the ball of chakra until it was small enough to swallow before he devoured the ball swallowing it whole. "Take this. Tailed Beast Bomb!" a massive beam of blazing red chakra soared toward the young hokage and his mount at sonic speeds as it broke the sound barrier as it exited the nine tails giant jaws. The beam carved through the earth vaporizing the forest under it carving a huge scar through the ground bellow. Gamabunta braced himself against the ground as the beam slammed into an invisible wall decorated by an array of seals.

The beam was sucked to the wall as another wall of seals opened above them aimed downward at the Nine Tails. The beam of chakra burst forth from the seal slamming into its creator. A huge explosion ripped through the area wiping up massive winds that threatened to knock over the massive toad and its summoner. The heat of the flames licked at their faces as the deafening boom of the explosion died down.

Minato collapsed down onto his left knee panting heavily as he watched the smoke begin to clear. 'Damn, diverting that last attack took up too much chakra. If I hadn't borrowed some chakra from Gamabunta, I might not have made it. …. But… I don't know how much longer I can keep this up.'

Minato watched as the smoke cleared to show the nine tails breathing heavily and barley standing on its wobbling legs. Minato looked down at Gamabunta and saw that he two couldn't keep this up much longer. His eyes hardened in determination as he knew what he had to do. "Bunta I'm going to need you to make sure you take my son to the third Hokage along with my body."

Gamabunta looked up at the blonde confused at the statement before his eyes began to widen. "Minato, are you really going to use that jutsu." Gamabunta was shocked at what he was hearing never expecting the young man to use the jutsu.

"We don't have any choice Bunta. Make sure Naruto gets to the third safely and he knows what's happened. Also… tell Kushina I'm sorry. I really wanted to help raise our son." Minato's voice was solemn and grim. He was going to die. It was the price of the jutsu he was plaining to use, and it was the only way to save his home.

Gamabunta nodded his head agreeing to the last request as Minato quickly teleported back to Naruto in the safe house with his sleeping wife laying in the king-sized bed next to him as they both slept peacefully. He quickly scooped his infant son into his arms as he quickly teleported back to Gamabunta creating a shadow clone to hold Naruto as he went through a flurry of seals he only practiced once.

"Ninja Art: Sealing Jutsu, Reaper Death Seal!" Minato shouted as a white veiled ghostly figure appeared behind him with the face of a demon. Its skin was purple and pulled tight, its teeth were sharp, black, and holding a small knife. Its hair was long, shaggy and white with to long red horns growing out of its head, and its nails were long, sharp and black.

The reaper inserted its hand through the small babe and into Minato's stomach. Minato winced as he felt the hand dig into his very being holding back a scream of pain. Once it was complete he looked forward at the giant fox that was beginning to regain its barring's. "Ok time to finish this. "

Gamabunta hopped forward as fast as he could toward the giant fox in front of him. As soon as he was within 50 yards of the beast Minato leapt forward before grabbing onto the hairs on its head as he landed on the beast. The reaper's hand shot out of his stomach like a cannon ball latching onto the beast.

Kurama began to feel himself being sealed away once again. He tried hard to fight against it but in the end, couldn't escape its grasp as more and more of him was sealed away. The hand ripped the giant tailed beast through the body of the fourth hokage and into the body of the small baby held in the shadow clone's grasp. A bright light illuminated the area as the Nine tails was sealed away into the sleeping Naruto before it died down reviling a large and complex seal on his stomach. In the span of only ten seconds, the great Nine tailed fox was sealed away into the baby Naruto.

Gamabunta quickly launched his tongue out to catch the falling Minato before he could hit the ground. Gamabunta brought Minato to the ground in front of him to see that it was too late. Minato's eyes were shut and his breathing had stopped. Gamabunta lowered his head and closed his eyes in sorrow at the loss of the young hokage.

As Gamabunta grieved, he heard the crying baby Naruto laying on top of his head. The chief toad groaned in defeat as he summoned a human sized toad to hold the babe as he placed Minato's corpse on top of his head and made his way out of the burning forest toward the leaf village. Deep in the forest a dark figure watched the battle in silence his yellow eyes glowing menacingly in the night. 'And now it's finally begun.'

And that's it for this chapter. I really wanted to get to the first episode/chapter of the series but couldn't in good consciousness do it. Unlike the first chapter of Kallen of the rebellion, this one can't be called a prologue. It has a beginning, middle, and end, and is too long. Prologues should be somewhat short and should only have a beginning to set up the beginning of the story. So, sorry but the story won't really start until the next chapter. So, it's a kind of prequel style prologue. Hopefully I can get through all the backstory and set up needed in a couple of pages in the next chapter. But until then I'm going to start rewriting my power rangers Ninjetti fanfiction. Now I won't take it down but I will replace all the chapters with an author's note since I do need to rewrite a lot of the chapters to flesh out the story and replace one of the characters. I also need to edit my code geass fic again. Also, since I didn't get to where I wanted to hears a little sneak peak, team 7 will have a different third member instead of Sasuke. The reason being is I don't want to deal with Sasuke any more than I need to since I have more planned for Sasuke in my power ranger Ninjetti fanfic.

And Sasuke is always a main character in Naruto rewrites so I'm going to do something different.

Edit: Damnit my fucking laptop died on me after I finished the first draft and it took almost a month to both get it replaced and recover my data. I really wanted to get this done two weeks ago. Oh well I got a new laptop and I have my data again so all is well. Any way tell me what you think in a review. And remember story and plot ideas are welcome this fanfic I'm going to explore eight years of naruto's life so if we ignore the three-year time skip that means I have five years' worth of Naruto's life to show and I promise you it will go by a lot slower than in cannon (not in pacing but in actual progression of time since by the pain arc Naruto will be as old as he was in the last.) So, if you have ideas for new arcs twists on old ones let me know. I love getting your opinions on things. It helps me stay inspired and gets my creative engine running. any way I didn't mean to be this long so see you.
