"It's the Ninetails!" Yelled a terrified citizen as a gigantic orange fox appeared in the middle of the normally peaceful leaf village.

The creature roared with such force that every window in the village shattered instantly. It's blood red eyes showed sharingan irises but only a few cared at that moment as the creature backhanded a building, completely obliterating it and killing all those inside.

Ninja began to fight the creature but it shrugged off normal ninjutsu like it was nothing.

The Fourth Hokage appeared in the village, his Haori blowing in the wind and his face set. "I won't let you destroy my home, Kyuubi..."

The creature paused to look at the fourth, building chakra to its mouth.

The fourth looked to his left as his predecessor landed beside him. "Minato, can you handle this?"

"No problem, Hiruzen. I'll need you to do something though." Minato pulled a tri-pronged Kuna and aimed it and his palms at the Kyuubi. "The beast can't be killed, only sealed. Bring one of my children here."

"Kushina would kill me if I did that Minato-kun..." Hiruzen looked at the dark ball of chakra over the Kyuubi's head and breathed out shakily. "Then again it's not like the village could take being hit by that..."

Minato grinned as he whispered. "Hiraishin." The giant orb of chakra vanished and the ground beneath them trembled lightly.

"Where did you send that?"Hiruzen asked, awed by the power of Minato's jutsu.

Minato grinned, having spent a good portion of chakra. "Iwa?"

The look of horrified shock made Minato laugh. "I'm just joking old man, relax. I sent it about fifty miles into the forest. I wouldn't do something like that."

"Terrible time for jokes, kid." Another figure landed on Minato's other side.

"Jiraiya-sensei. I'm glad you're here."

"Pfft...I'm not." Jiraiya scoffed, pushing his white hair from his eyes.

Hiruzen turned. "I'll go...but I want you to promise me something, Minato..."

"Anything." Minato crouched ready to charge the fox.

Hiruzen smiled. "Live. I want you to be Hokage for a bit longer than tonight."

"But it's the Hokage's duty to-"

"No buts!" Minato looked down, like a child scolded. "Minato-kun, you have the makings to be one of the greatest Shinobi to have ever lived, but you can't do that if you die just before you reach your prime. Besides...my wife died many years ago. It's time I joined her." Hiruzen vanished with the shunshin as Minato wiped the tears from his eyes and prepared a large rasengan.

"Jiraia-sensei, summon Gamabunta..."

Minato sighed. It'd been nearly five years since the Kyuubi attack.

Minato and Jiraiya pushed the fox out of the village and when Hiruzen arrived, The third hokage used a powerful sealing jutsu to seal the great fox. The jutsu cost his life...

Kushina was in a coma from the stress of being separated from the ninetails.

Now Minato was stuck with three children, one of which containing nearly limitless chakra. "Kushi-chan, I wish you'd wake up..."

Jiraiya walked into the small hospital room, a grim expression on his face. "Kid we need to talk."

"About what, Jiraiya-sensei?" Minato looked at him, his tears long fried up.

Jiraiya almost told him to forget it when he saw the pitiful state of his favored pupil, but he steeled his nerves. "The Great Toad gave me a prophecy. He said that the Child of my student with the strongest will and most power will become the only hope of this world. If he fails, everything and everyone...will die. There's a problem though."

Minato nodded. "I'll start training the boys harder. "

"No. Listen. It said the one with the strongest will. We need to make sure it ends up being Karah, with the nine tails, she will have the highest possibility of beating any threat. Naruto and Naomi are basically normal, though with Naomi's quiet nature I doubt she could take the spot from Karah. Naruto though, is spirited, energetic. He could end up being the one and without a bloodline or being a jinchuriki he lacks the assets of his sister, and would most likely fail."

"Are you saying to ignore my son? My only fuckin son?!" Minato stood angrily before casting a glance at his wife and calming down.

Jiraiya sighed. "It's not so easy. His spirit is too strong, as the hokage you have to make sure his spirit is weaker than Karah's, to protect the people you need to do this."

"H-How do you know this is true? Has a prophecy ever been wrong?"

"These prophecies...are never wrong and they never change. I'm sorry kid, it's the only way..." Jiraiya looked down sadly.

"Fine..." Minato looked at Kushina as tear drops escaped his eyes. "I'll make Karah the strongest in existence."

"Brother, how are you doing that?!" A small blonde girl with dark blue eyes stared up as a small blonde boy with identical features stood on the ceiling, with a soft blue glow at his feet.

The boy smiled. "I dunno!"

A red haired girl pressed her foot on the wall to walk up but slid back down. "How Naruto!"

The boy, now known as Naruto, laughed as his shirt fell over his face.

"I'm gonna be Hokage, like daddy!" Naruto giggled loudly.

The blonde girl threw a shoe at him. "Not if I get there first!"
