I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR ITS CHARACTERS

Konohagakure no Sato

All hell had broken loose as the most powerful biju in existence, the Nine-Tailed Kyuubi, was attacking the village of Konoha. The Kyuubi was about to destroy another district of the village when it noticed a figure on top of a tower. Standing ready to face the beast was Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage. As he stood he looked at the two infants that would receive the power of this incredible beast while it neared him. He thought back at how his replacement, Minato Namikaze, tried to argue to let him do what was about to be done. He chuckled and watched as the Kyuubi came closer. For some odd reason his thoughts drifted to the infant not being involved in this ritual, Naruto.

Before he could gather any more thoughts about the baby, the Kyuubi roared and went to slash at Sarutobi with his claws. Smiling, Hiruzen Sarutobi made one last hand sign and let the Death God, the Shinigami himself, arise to take his soul and the Kyuubi's chakra saving the village. As Hiruzen died, his last thoughts once again lingered on the first born child of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki.

Naruto.
