Chapter One: Phantom's Birth

Kushina swung Naruto gently back and forth in her arms. She smiled down at him as a blonde woman with huge boobs put a green hand on her forehead, transferring chakra into her.

"Kushina, I'm afraid something went wrong during the delivery." she said. Kushina looked up at her quickly and made Naruto cry.

"What is it Tsunade?"

"I'm not sure, but I do know that unless you get a chakra transfer every six hours for the next few years, you're going to die. And besides that, you'll have to be in a wheel chair and you won't be able to be a ninja, ever again."

"Then I'd rather die." the door of the hospital room opened and Minato Namikaze walked in. his blonde hair was messy and his clothes were tattered.

"Kushina, the Kyuubi is to powerful. I know I promised I wouldn't use the Death Seal but I have to." Kushina held Naruto tighter.

"No, I won't leave my baby alone." Minato looked at Tsunade quickly, sending her a silent message.

"I need to go check on something." she quickly left the room, leaving them alone.

"Kushina, please, listen for one second will you?" she loosened her grip on Naruto and slowed his rocking. "Naruto will be the hero of the village after this. He'll be treated right. He'll get trained to be stronger then everyone, even me, and become Hokage one day."

"Minato, you are so delusional." Kushina said as Naruto fell asleep. "The people will think that you wanted to kill Kyuubi so you sealed it into a human form. They'll kill Naruto Minato."

"Sensei, we're running out of time! The Kyuubi's almost here!" Kakashi yelled as he barreled into the room. Kushina sent him a death stare as Naruto screamed.

"Kushina, I'm sorry, but I have no choice. I'll see you on the other side." he said, his eyes closed. They opened up, showering her with golden light. She fell asleep and he took Naruto form her arms.

He stood at the end of the bed, watching in sorrow, as her heart rate slowed to a crawl and finally flat lined.

"Sensei, it's time to go." Kakashi said, putting a comforting hand on Minato's shoulder.

"Tell the forces to retreat. I'm going to do this alone." Kakashi nodded and disappeared. Minato held Kushina's hand one last time before walking out of the hospital. The three Sannin started to follow, but he held up his hand.

"Minato, I know you're good, but no one is that good." Jiraiya said. Minato turned to him and revealed to them a new sight. His eyes were glowing purple and strange marks flowed over his flesh.

"I'm afraid I have to sensei. There's someone I have to kill." he turned away and they closed their eyes as the largest flash of golden light they had ever seen exploded and lit the village.

Minato landed on the Kyuubi's snout, where one of his special kunai had landed. He rocked Naruto back and forth as the fox roared and made him momentarily rise into the air a little more. Minato kicked the fox in the pupil.

"Snap out of it! Don't' let Madara control you! You are one of the creatures of the Sealing Country! Live up to that name!" the foxes eyes faded slightly, like he was fighting an internal battle.

A man appeared on the head of the fox. Minato set Naruto down as the fox struggled.

"Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage!" he called, opening his arms. "So glad to see you again!"

Minato glared at him as he formed hand signs.

"Madara Uchiha, I'm glad to get to kill you before I go." he complete the hand seals. "Forbidden Jutsu: Reaper Death Seal!" a ghostly pale figure appeared behind Minato.

He was dressed in a black robe that flowed in an invisible wind. His head and hands were skeletal. A jewel encrusted crown circled his head. "WHO DARES SUMMON ME, THE GREAT BARRAGAN?!" he sniffed the air and looked down at the Kyuubi and Madara.

"I didn't summon you. Where's the normal Shinigami?"

"YOU IDIOT, YOU DID THE HAND SEALS WRONG!" he laughed. Minato started to snarl.

"Can you do the job of the Shinigami or not?"

"OH, YEAH, NO PROBLEM! WHAT'D YOU WANT?"

"Trap the spirit of the Kyuubi inside my son." he pointed to Naruto. A sudden idea came to mind. "And also seal the souls of his mother into him. Her name is Kushina Uzumaki. I want her to be able to be seen by him and those that he allows. And kill that man!" he said, pointing at Madara.

"OKAY, BUT YOU REALIZE THERE IS A TRADE OFF, RIGHT? YOU HAVE TO BE A GENERAL IN MY SKELETAL ARMY IN THE UNDEROWORLD!"

"Fine, as long as my son is taken care of." Barragan rubbed his hands together and touched Minato. His skin faded away instantly. He jumped next to Barragan. As he reached the giant man, he faded away. Barragan turned to Madara who was running away.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" he swung his hand out and grabbed Madara. The man struggled against him for several minutes. "INTERESTING. I TOUCH YOU YET YOU DON'T AGE AT ALL."

Madara's eyes flashed to a strange design within red eyes. Barragan hissed and dropped Madara, who disappeared into the ground.

The giant shrugged and pulled out a scythe. He swung it into the Kyuubi and the astral form of the fox flew into the small baby. The fox started to shake and fell to the ground. A set of three people rushed through the air and caught the small child. One of them, a pale man, stared at him.

Barragan reached into a hole that opened in space and pulled the spirit of a surprised Kushina Uzumaki out and stuck her into Naruto before she could react.

"CARRY MY SEAL LITTLE ONE. I RARELY BLESS ANY ONE WITH IT." he said as a mark of a skull with a bejeweled crown appeared on Naruto's forearm. The Kyuubi's flesh disappeared and the bones faded into nothingness. One of the people searched frantically for something in the destroyed area.

Barragan snapped and disappeared. Minato's body clattered to the ground as an evil laugh echoed through the air.

"THANKS FOR THE HELP IN THE WAR MINATO NAMIKAZE!"

(Three Days Later

"So what do we do now?" Orochimaru asked.

"We find someone to take Naruto in." Tsunade said. Jiraiya and the third exchanged looks.

"Asuma will do it." they said together with a smile.
