Chapter 1- a new start

Young Naruto Uzumaki he was known as well, the village knucklehead or idiot many would call him. But yet here and now he lay there on the ground. Looking over him was Tsunade Senju who was best known for being the Granddaughter of the First Hokage and also the Slug Princess and Legacy Sucker.

Naruto was given a mission to companied Jiraiya one of the Third Hokage's former students and also known as Jiraiya the Great or The Toad Sage Jiraiya.

Naruto gave his life to saved Tsunade from being strike down by Kabuto and his master Orochimaru. Naruto was told the future of the village's fate lies within the rude and mean old beautiful woman although he never warmed up to her.

Naruto still gave his life to protect Tsunade from harm.

"Dark…why is it getting dark? I hate the dark it seems the kid screw up, and now I'm paying for it." Naruto inner demon aka the Kyuubi the nine tailed fox whom was seal inside his soul for twelve years.

"No it can't be, no not him not again no!" Tsunade cried tears fall down her face.

"Hmm it seems Naruto-kun wasn't able to survive what a pity." Orochimaru chuckle watching Tsunade try healing Naruto wounds, but Kabuto got Naruto at the heart. The boy heart was slowly stop the beat of heart he dead slowly his heart would soon stop, but before that Naruto look up at Tsunade and smile at her he spoke his final words.

"Don't…give up Baa-Chan you…can win this without me…I'm just gonna kept some Z's so don't cry…and do me one last favor will ya?" the dying ninja asked

"What is it, Naruto-Kun?" she asked hoping to make his last wish come true.

"Don't die…the people of leaf needs you Baa-Chan and tell Sakura I love her and tell Sasuke I don't really hate him and tell everyone else…I'm sorry…goodbye Baa-Chan…I'll be back stronger than ever I promise." Naruto spoke his last word as he die with a smile on his face.

"Yes I will…I will, Naruto-Kun." Tsunade smile as Orochimaru and Kabuto escape, Jiraiya and Shizune soon recover walking over to Tsunade who was carrying Naruto in her arms "It would be right for him to be burying with them." She said as Jiraiya nodded "A fine Hokage that could have turn out to be…maybe in the next life kid, see ya around, Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto soul left his body his soul fell down through the earth falling down deeper he fell going downward into the unknown.

"You cannot die! I won't allow it!" Naruto heard the nine tails voice.

Naruto open his eyes as he felt a warm light touching his body. Naruto felt this warm feeling. Naruto felt someone's hand touched his right cheek. The person's hand was soft and warm.

"Wake up." A woman's voice spoke.

Naruto shot open his eyes. The first thing he sees is a large black tree above him. Naruto slowly got up from the ground. Naruto looked at himself and see he was different. The color of his skin and colors was different. All were colored light green.

Naruto wasn't sure what was going on. But the last thing he remembers was his heart beat stopped. Was this the afterlife? He wasn't sure it didn't feel like the afterlife.
Naruto stared at the giant black tree. There was something about this tree that felt off. He felt it. Naruto stared at the black tree again. He felt nothing but hollow from the tree.

However a voice spoke that caught Naruto's attention.

"The Tree of Death it is often rare a soul appears before it after their deaths. You must be a special soul." Naruto turned around to see a person standing there. Much like Naruto the person was green from head to toe.

The person was a man wearing a cloak hood hiding his face. Naruto could see barely view of his face. The person had an undead look. His eyes were light green and his face was half scar. His body had a skinny tone. Naruto looked at the man's lower half to see he wore a steel belt with knives and small blades around his belt.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked the hood man.

"Drave, the master of blades and you are a lost soul." The man introduced himself.

"Lost soul me?" Naruto looked confuse.

"Sorry excuse me. I mean lost YOUNG soul." Drave said.

Naruto glared at the hooded man.

"You're dead lad. Sorry to say but your life is over. Sad isn't it?" He told Naruto.

"What, I'm dead." Naruto's eyes had the look of fear within them.

"Sorry to say but yes. You took quite a blow to the chest. Whatever it was stopped your heart." Drave explained to Naruto. Naruto looked hurt. He was young just a kid. He didn't reach his dreams but at least he died with a good deed. He protected Tsunade the woman chosen to be the next Hokage.

He hoped she would give it even with his death. At least he hoped.

"Is this Heaven or Hell?" He asked Drave.

"Neither kid. This is the realm of the dead. You need to go meet the King. You needed to be judged before you can move on. Either Heaven, Hell or here your fate shall be known." Drave explained to the young boy.

Drave wasn't alone he had a horse with him. However the horse was dead nothing but bone but it was alive. Drave got on the horse as Drave helped Naruto on to the horse as they ride off through the land of the dead.

Naruto looked back at the Tree of the Death. Naruto felt drawing to the Death Tree he didn't know why but he just did.

Drave rode passed the dead the plains. Naruto saw destroyed buildings and also what appeared to be a large temple entrance. Drave rode passed a large bridge to another as the bridge had four paths. Drave took the north path into the City of the Dead.

There were many souls Naruto saw and much like him and Drave they too were light green colored. Naruto saw some familiar faces as Drave ride but Naruto dare not speak when he saw their faces.

The familiar faces Naruto saw were Haku, Zabuza and the Third Hokage.

Once through the city Drave went across another bridge and stopped before a large set of stairs. The two got off the bone horse.

"What is this place?" He asked the dead blade master.

"The Eternal Throne, the King of the dead lives here." Drave said.

"There's a King for the dead?" The young ninja asked with a confuse face.

Drave nodded.

"Yes even the dead needs a leader a guild. He sends them to their fate. Be it here, Heaven or Hell or to the Well of Souls. What he said is true, his voice is law his law are our rules. Break the rules your soul will be burn to ash." Drave explains and warned the young soul.

"Sound like a tough King." Naruto sweatdrop.

"Tough isn't the words I would say. And that isn't the worst part." Drave sighed.

"What's the worst part?" He asked Drave.

"Follow me and you will see." Naruto follow Drave up the stairs.

They reached the top of the stairs and enter through a large door as they entered a small throne room. Sitting in the throne was the King. The King looked nearly liked Drave but more human. His skin was light green like everyone. His eyes were white dead. He wore royal clothes a King would wear. He wore a Crown like a King should. He had a beard to show his age he was a dead King but an old dead King.

Drave kneel down on one knee before the King.

"I have returned my lord." Drave said.

The Lord of Bones his title was, though many know him as The Dead King. His true name unknown even to his own people. Standing beside the King was a man who looked far more dead then the King. Unlike the King his eyes were black.

The Lord of Bones stared at the young Uzumaki. The Dead King stared at Naruto for awhile until he spoke.

"For someone who's dead you smell like the living." The Bone King said.

Naruto didn't speak he remain silence. Though he wonder what the King mean by what he said.

"My lord?" Drave spoke.

"You have done well. You may go Drave. I have business with this soul." The Lord of Bones said. Drave rose up and bowed his head before he turned and left.

"What brings you here boy?" The King asked Naruto.

"I…I died didn't I?" He asked the dead King.

"You are here as a soul. But you smell like the living. You are alive so I ask you. What brings you here to my Kingdom?" He again asked Naruto.

Naruto wasn't sure what was going on here. He was dead he was sure of it. Drave said he was dead. But the King said he wasn't.

"My lord is near death. The soul has given up but body still lives. The body refuses to die. Somewhere the boy's heart still beats." The Chancellor spoke.

"Yes, I know. This is rare." The Dead King spoke.

"My lord I believe it is best to send him back on his way. Surely this isn't his time he is not ready to embrace his death. Having him here will surely be troublesome to deal with." The Chancellor said to the King.

"I cannot send him back on his own I cannot force a soul back. If he is still alive but his soul was brought here surely he was spat out of the roots of the Tree of Death." King said as he looked troubled.

"If he was brought here through the Tree then he is." The Chancellor glared at Naruto.

"Yes. He is liked the other one. The one who got away but this one is different. Keeping him here will be trouble. We have no choice but send him back." King mumbled as the Chancellor nodded.

"But Lord before we do that. Why don't we have him take care of our little problem, since he is here why not make use of him, yes?" Chancellor whispered to the King again.

The King nodded.

"Boy what is your name?" The King asked Naruto.

"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said as he bowed his head hoping the King wasn't going to burn or dispose of him.

"You are alive. But for how long I am sure not. You will be returned but before that could happen. You must do a favor for me. There is trouble that I need to be taken care of." The King told Naruto.

"What is it you have me do?" The Uzumaki asked.

"There is a soul that has been causing trouble for us. Not too long ago two souls escaped the city but before that. Long ago nearly one hundred year a soul escaped from us. There is a rumor that there's a demon that steals souls. The King wants this found and killed. Bring me the remains of this demon and you will be sent back to the land of the living." The Chancellor explained to the young Uzumaki.

"If that what it takes to sent me back I will do it." Naruto beat his chest with his right fist. The Chancellor looked at the King as the dead Lord nodded.

Naruto turned his back but stop upon The King spoke to him.

"Boy wait, you will complete this task but not alone. You are but a lost soul. You will need a guide for this journey and an ally." The King said.

Naruto raise his left eyebrow curious on whom will he sent to help him?

The Chancellor snapped his boney fingers as he spoke "The King is in need of your serves. Come out and serve him once more."

A bright white light shine from the floor behind Naruto, seeing 2 people or rather spirits raise from the floor. Naruto was surprise for what he saw. It was 2 woman one was a very beautiful young woman but a woman nonetheless. She had long, bright-red hair and had beautiful blue eyes. She wore an elaborate, high collared kimono. Her hair was arranged in buns with hair pins for her hairstyle. The other one was Haku. Upon being summoned after stepping forward. They're appearance and clothes changed color to light green like the rest.

The women Naruto see before him was outstanding beautiful, her matched that of Tsunade's whoever this woman was. They would be his guide and ally on this journey.

"What is it you have me done Lord of Bones?" The 2 woman asked him.

"The King will sent this boy back to his still living body. But before that he will find the demon that steals lost souls. You will help him upon this journey Mito,Haku." The Chancellor told the women.

"Yes my lord." Mito bowed her head and turn to look at the young ninja.

Mito's smile was warm and peacefully. Naruto felt his heartbeat he was trapped by her beauty. If she was around his age he would ask her out in a heartbeat.

"Pleasure to meet you I am Mito Uzumaki." She introduced herself she bow her head.

"N-Naruto Uzumaki." He said nervously. He completely fell deaf upon knowing she was an Uzumaki like him.

Mito's eyes wide for a second as she blinked twice. Bit surprise the boy before her was a Uzumaki. Mito closed her eyes and smiled knowing this will be an interesting journey.

With their mission set and everything was told. The two Uzumakis and Haku left The Eternal Throne.

"My Lord why have this boy be the one?" The Chancellor asked his King.

"He is one of the living. Having the living here is forbidden this is the realm of the dead. Living souls are problem. Early souls are problem to deal with. Knowing their time ended early drives the soul mad or destroyed their minds. This boy sending him back before that happens will save us trouble. And also he carries a great soul within him and thousands of others. When he dies they will follow. A Kingdom full of souls is something I would not deal with…again." The Lord of Bones sighed.

"Ah yes very true my lord. Five years a whole clan that was slaughter was brought seeking revenge. And before that nearly half of a village's souls were brought here as well. And also thirty years ago a whole nation was brought here. The human race is full of Genocide of War." The Chancellor chuckled.

"That maybe true, but this human his soul interest me." The Lord of Bones said with a look curious in his dead eyes.

"How so my lord?" The Chancellor asked.

"If the boy dies here so does his body. Through the dead cannot die he is still alive. What harm comes to him here comes to the body. He is still linked to the living world. If he dies then well…" The King paused but grew a frown.

"Hopefully it would not fill the city of the dead." The Chancellor sighed.

Elsewhere: The Plains of the Dead

The plains were covered in white sand. The white sand was actually ash the ash of those before the first ruler of the dead. This world was born so long ago when this was creation none knew.

Naruto,Haku and Mito arrived at what appears to be an entrance to a ruin temple. But there was one problem. There was a way of opening the door of the temple but in order too. The switch has to be pulled at the same time.

"So there are 3 switches?" Naruto asked Mito.

"One in the north and south and in between all must be pulled together." Mito explained to Naruto.

"Is that reason you're here beside being my guide? This place has switches doesn't it?" He asked Mito.

"No, not just that Naruto but this is dangerous and if the demon is here you will need help." Mito smiled at Naruto. Naruto looked away while frowning.

"Something wrong?" She asked the troubled soul.

"No," He lied.

"You sure?" She asked while staring at the young soul.

"I'm fine. Let just hurry up so I can get out here. I'm not dead…yet. So I have no reason being here." He said, with a frown.

"Why don't take the switch on the north and I will take the Haku gets the middle one." She asked Naruto, Naruto nodded. The two Uzumakis and their ally took their paths. Naruto saw a switch on the north side of the temple while Mito found the switch on the south.

"FOUND IT!" Naruto yelled.

"Me 2!" Haku yelled

"Pull!" Mito yelled.

The 3 switches were pulled together as the sound of something being unlocked was heard. The 3 souls met up with one another at the entrance.

"May I ask you Mito,Haku? Do you know what this demon is?" He asked.

"I do not know but I believed I know what it is. For it is a demon. But I think I know what it is." Mito said with a worry frown.

"Same Here." Haku said

"What?" Naruto asked.

"The Demon who steals souls. It was born or rather came to our world. Some Kages would know it as The Reaper Death Seal." A voice spoke from far. The 3 looked back as Mito glare at the person whom was there.

"Madara," Mito spoke coldly.

The person standing before them was Madara Uchiha one of the founder of Konoha. And former head clan leader of the Uchiha clan. Like all in this world he too was a soul.

"What do you want traitor?" She asked the old Uchiha.

Madara didn't say anything only smiled. He looked at Naruto and said with joyful look.

"So you are the new Jinchuuriki of the nine tails."

Naruto's eyes widen in shock as so did Mito.

"What!" Mito yelled.

'How did he know?' Naruto thought.

"My Sharingan even in death its power is amazing. You are a bit young to be a Jinchuuriki. My, what have they done with Jinchuuriki like you in the world now?" He wondered.

"That's none of your business." Naruto growled.

"I guess so." He said as he soon frowned while glaring.

Naruto turned away and enter the temple. Mito looked back at Naruto with a sadden look in her eyes.

"Seem after your time. Those who carries the demon were treated differently Mito-chan." The Old Uchiha chuckled.

"Don't call me that traitor." She glared.

"Oh really? If I am the traitor then where is your dear husband and brother in law? Why is it, that child smells of suffering. You were treated well Mito. I suppose Konoha broke the promise after your time ended." Madara said. Mito's glare made the old Uchiha laughed as he turned away and left but not before he said to the Uzumaki.

"Love will never make the nine tails submit only power will. The nine tails will be mine again even in death. Time will come, you and all will see. And not even the Lord of Bones can strip me of my power for long." His threating words were as Mito bit her bottom lip in anger.

"Even in death you're a pain in the ass Uchiha."

Mito went inside the temple as the door shut behind her. She could see Naruto was far down the hallway as he stared at a large black door.

Mito sighed as she wonder what Naruto been through? And what if Kushina what happen to her? She wasn't dead that's for sure if she was then surely she would have been here. This Naruto would be hers and Kushina's successor as a Jinchuuriki and yet why he leaks of suffering and not of love?

And who is this Naruto Uzumaki? Was his Kushina's son or another Uzumaki found to be the host? These were the things running through Mito Uzumaki's mind.

The temple wasn't much of a temple there was but one room. The room was small but in the middle of the room stood a large stone with the words marked on it.

Given into Life becomes Death, Given into Death becomes Life. One weapon make that choice for all. Here now be thy worthy of thy weapon. Touch with one of between life and death.

Naruto was curious what was within this stone. Naruto believe this was the demon's soul or a way of summoning the beast he believed.

"Naruto wait don't touch it." Mito yelled.

But before Naruto could even touched it an old voice spoke out stopping Naruto.

"Touch that stone and you and body will be turn into ash." Naruto and Mito turned their attention to where the voice was coming from. There was nothing at first until out from a black hole was an old short man wearing an all black outfit. But soon he too turned green like Mito.

"Who are you?" Naruto asked.

"I am a keeper of secrets." The old man said with a chuckle.

Naruto didn't like this old man nor his behavior. Naruto didn't like this world of the dead if this world is where he goes upon his death he rather live forever than stay in this realm. Mito stood in front of Naruto as she spoke to the old man.

"I am no threat my dear. I simple stop your young kin from doing something foolish." The short old man chuckled.

'Her kin, what does he mean by that?' Naruto thought.

"Forgive us but we were send-" The old man stop Haku by raising his right hand up.

"To be rid of the demon that steal souls. Yes I know of the demon you speak. The demon you seek is no longer here. It has been consuming souls and offering deals with lost and mortal souls. But drawing here by power within this temple it could touch the stone and escape the realm. All that remains here is The Crown of the Dead and the First Scythe." The old man explained to the two Uzumakis.

"Tell me more." Naruto grew curiously of what this temple has.

"The Crown of the Dead is proven to show whom the dead truly serves. The Lord of Bones kept it hidden here after he who has proven himself has left." The old man said.

"What?" Naruto looked confuse.

"The Lord of Bones was replaced but regained his title." Mito explained to Naruto as the Old Man nodded.

"Oh I see then who was the former King?" Naruto asked.

"That would be Death himself." The Old Man answered.

"Then where is Death?" Naruto asked.

"On a journey he won't be back for a very long time. But if he does his Crown he would retake and become Lord of the Dead once more. That stone there holds the weapon of Death's first blade The First Scythe it has many names. But Death calls his first blade Harvester,as well as his first mask,wraths end, it gives the user the ability to use wrath and use deaths reaper form, while also letting you use his crow and horse, dust and despair." The Keeper of Secret explained.

"Only he may touch it?" Naruto asked.

The keeper of secrets laughed at the young Uzumaki.

"You believe you can handle the power of Death? You are alive and also a human. What could do you? To control the power of Death is to control power over life and death. You could not handle such power." Naruto glared at the old man as he laughed.

"I bet you I could handle its power. I'm not weak I'm strong!" Naruto yelled.

The old man stopped his laughing and saw how serious this boy was. Naruto's eyes were strong.

"What is your name child?" The old man asked.

"Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said proudly.

Suddenly the old man smiled. Mito didn't like how he smiled so suddenly upon hearing Naruto's name. Naruto notice the smile the old man gave him.

"So you are the one whom escape Death's list." The old man laughed.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"Ah, yes. Twelve years ago you were born. Your soul is bond forever to another powerful being. You were supposed to die. But you didn't in your place were your parents." The old man said.

Naruto's gasp was quite and low. But his eyes were filled with saddest. He was supposed to die as a newborn but yet he lives here and now.

"My parents took my place?" He asked the old man.

"Yes, but however upon giving up their lives for you their souls were taken by the demon you were sent to find. Their fate is unknown even to I the Keeper of Secrets." The Keeper said.

Naruto looked hurt. He was alive because of his parents. This demon took their souls stealing them from Death stealing them from ending up in this place. They were trapped imprison within a demonic being.

"Do you have any remain to show proof of the demon?" Mito asked the Keeper of Secrets. The old man took what appears to be a small knife. Mito grabbed it and looked at it.

"It dropped this upon escaping the temple. Leave this place neither of you are worthy of its secrets and power." The old man told them.

"That power if it force the demon to leave. Can it find the demon?" Naruto asked.

The old man sighed seeing Naruto was fixed on this demon.

"If there would be to find a way. The Crown's power along with the scythe a small amount would be enough to help." The Keeper walked over to the stone and withdraw a small amount of its power and held it in his right hand.

"Are willing to accept such power to save your parents souls?" He asked the young soul.

"Wait, Naruto don't do this. You don't know what will come of this." Mito warned Naruto. Naruto thought about it. He just met Mito a part of him was thinking why should he listen to her? While the part of him told him to listen to Mito.

"Mito you're already dead. You enjoyed your life. But I'm still alive I still have problems to deal with. I want to return to the land of the living but I also want to find and save my parents." He said as he frowned.

"What choice will you make? Sacrifice is always a difficult choice. Life is full of it even death as well. What will you make young soul?" The old man asked.

Naruto remain silence for a moment until he spoke.

"I choose BOTH!" He said.

"My, my, my how the souls of man has become as the century goes by. Very well but be warn the power of Life and Death is something powerful and great one soul cannot do alone."

Naruto walked up the old man and grabbed the ball of energy. The energy went inside of Naruto's soul. There was nothing at all until Naruto fell to his knees. He gripped his chest as suddenly images appeared within his mind.

The images Naruto saw troubled him as the images soon turned into a scene. As the scene played through Naruto's mind. Mito was about to touch Naruto's left shoulder to see if he was alright?

"Don't not touch him he is seeing the events that connects him to Death. Touching him will not only break that link but will allow him to see your memories of your lifetime. He will go mad if such a thing happens. All we can do it wait my child." The Old man told Mito.

"Who are you really?" Mito asked the old man.

"I am just an old man who knows many secrets of both the Kingdom of Man and those beyond. My time has passed long ago but my secrets and power are still of usefully even to the souls of this realm." He explained.

"Will he be alright?" Mito asked about Naruto's wellbeing.

"He will be fine long as we do not disturbed him. He is from your clan Mito. But he is different he is half blood while you are a fully blooded. Though I am not Death, I know how this boy came here. He is near Death's door. Even if he dies he will be rewarded to the Gates of Heaven. He gave his life to save the life of your Granddaughter." The Keeper of Secrets told Mito.

"My little Tsunade?" The old man nodded.

"Though she isn't little no more. She has great suffering in her heart. This boy has helped her. You know the dead grow bored and peek into the living world yes?" He said.

"I never knew that. How is that possible?" She asked.

"Many few dead know of this. Especially those who lived in the City of the Dead, the Dead pool allows such a thing. He has strong feelings for your granddaughter, those feelings maybe possible of love?" The old man laughed while Mito blush a bit finding bit odd a young boy as such having feelings for her granddaughter who possible is a very old adult by now.

"As we speak she's doing everything in her power to keep him alive. After this is done go to the Tree of Death from there the child will return to the Kingdom of Man in his mortal body." The old man told Mito what to do.

"What of the Lord of Bones?" She asked.

"I will speak with him. But for now we must wait." He turned his attention on Naruto.

Memory Link:

Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage was battling the Kyuubi shortly after facing the unknown masked ninja. Who took the Kyuubi from Kushina Uzumaki Minato's lover as Kushina was greatly weaken due to having the Kyuubi ripped from her soul.

Kushina smiled happily even though she knew she was dying slowly. Seeing Minato frown with sorrow filling his eyes, Kushina to her lover "Minato don't look like that. Don't be sad I'm happy, with the life I lived with you. You love me and I love you and its Naruto's birthday."

Minato didn't want Kushina to die not like this. He wanted her to live to see the future together with her and with their son Naruto Uzumaki who was just born this night "Kushina, what about Naruto? He needs you. He needs us we're his parents." Minato told Kushina, as the beautiful red head woman just smiled at her lover.

"What our lives would be like together…if I lived. But I know I'm dying even you know that Minato. My only regret is I can't be there to see Naruto grow up. To see him become a handsome young man and becoming the next Hokage just like his father." Kushina chuckled but shortly cough up small amounts of blood from her mouth.

"Kushina!" Minato went to Kushina's side.

"Don't worry about me Minato. Keep Naruto safe." Kushina tried her best to toughen up.

Minato remain silence just for a moment until he spoke with a serious tone "Kushina…there's no need for you to die with the Kyuubi. With your remaining chakra I can make sure Naruto can get to see you again."

Kushina confuse "Minato what are you talking about?"

"I'll take the Kyuubi down with me. I will seal your remaining chakra inside Naruto. With a Hakke Fuin, since I'm not a host I can use Shiki-Fujin." Minato explained to Kushina.

Kushina gasp "But with that sealing you'll-"

Minato pause as he closed his eyes just for a moment "I know Kushina. I am willing to give my life to give you the chance to see Naruto again. For him to see the both of us I know Naruto's future won't be a happy one but he's a ninja like his parents. I believe Naruto will be able to handle it."

Kushina looked at her infant son "But Minato…Naruto he'll be look on as-"

"I am sure Sarutobi will look after him. Trust me Kushina, you'll just have to put a little fate into me, don't you believe in our son?" Kushina looked at Minato before returning her sights back to her son.

"I'll seal one half into Naruto and the other half into me. We won't get to see for a long time once he grown up. Just in case something happens if Naruto can't handle the Kyuubi's powers. I will make sure to put a safety seal as well. Kushina I promise you we will see Naruto again." Minato smile big at his beloved lover.

"Minato, this unfair to Naruto he'll lose both of us. Why are you sacrificing your life, just for me to see Naruto again? To balance between power of the Tailed Beast for our country, our village? I won't sacrifice Naruto for that!" Kushina yelled at Minato.

"Because Kushina abandoning one's country isn't worst as abandoning one's village but abandoning one's child your own is worst. Kushina your country was destroyed. You should understand what's best. You know the horrors of life for those without a country. Beside we are a family." Minato looked down at Kushina as Kushina curse underneath her breath.

Kushina still didn't want to go through this "And beside even if I lived. I could never be completed without you. Kushina you made me who I am today. You became the mother of my child, you became my best friend, my wife hell even my teacher when it came to sealing jutsu." Minato chuckle as Kushina was completely shock to hear those words coming from Minato "Without you Kushina I'm nothing. I rather die with you then die alone without you at my side. I know Naruto will understand this one day when he finds the special girl in his life."

"Beside I can't give the kind of love a father can give to his son, that's your job Kushina a mother's role. I'm not doing just for us I am doing this for Naruto's sake." Minato kissed Kushina's forehead as he handed over Naruto to Kushina.

"I am willing to die for Naruto. That's my role as being a father. I don't want Naruto to know we abandon him because we never did." Minato smiled down at his infant son believing he holds the future of the world.

Kushina chuckle "An idiot but a brave idiot one of the reasons why I love you Minato. I want Naruto to be loved I want to give him all of our love. I don't want him to have to bear the burden alone. I won't die until…that happens until we filled him with love our love for him." Kushina cough up blood once more.

Minato perform the forbidden Jutsu which was best known as "Reaper Death Seal." Minato sealed half of the Kyuubi's into his own being. Minato felt his battle greatly weaken upon taking in so much chakra of only half of the nine tailed beast.

When Sarutobi the former Third Hokage arrive with few surviving ninjas with him. He saw Minato using the Reaper Death Seal. And Just as Kushina shown signs of weakness the chains around the nine tails whenever.

The demon fox took this chance to crush the small infant whom they are about to seal him within. But Minato and Kushina jumped in its way and were impale by one of its claws stopping it from killing their one and only child.

"I'm going to perform the Eight Trigram seal. I'll leave my chakra within Naruto as well. If you have any last words for Naruto tell them now Kushina." Minato said to Kushina.

Kushina smiled as she looked down at the infant.

"I have so much I wanted to tell you. Naruto," Kushina smiled as tears ran down her face "Naruto honey I wanted you to know I love you very much so much. I want you to be strong for me. I know you will have a tough life but don't let it get you down sweetie. Be strong like how I was. I know I won't be there for you but I want you to listen to me. Don't stay up too late make sure you go to bed on time. A little guy like you always needs a good night of rest. Make you sure you eat right." Kushina chuckled as she coughed up blood.

"I know studying for Ninjutsu is going to be difficult for you. I wasn't the best at it as well. Make sure you make friends not too many but some. Make good friends and you can trust even a few is enough long as they are your friends. Listen to your teaches at the academy. And remember avoid the three vices of shinobi." More Tears came down Kushina's face as Minato tried his best not too cry as this too greatly pains him.

"And when picking the girl of your dreams, well just try to pick someone like me not a weird one…but someone like your mother okay honey?" Kushina's smile was bright and warm "Naruto…you're going to experience a lot of pain and suffering. But never believe you're alone because you're never alone honey. We will always be there for you in spirit and heart. Remember who you are, remember who loved you so dearly, I want to stay with you, I love you. You will always be loved never forget that."

Kushina looked back at Minato "Sorry Minato I told up your time."

Minato chuckled as he held closely to Kushina "Naruto…this is your dad. Listen to that big mouth mother of yours. We love you kid and remember you're the son of a great hero. I know without a doubt you will become a greater ninja then us."

"Eight Trigram Seal," Were the final words of Minato the Fourth Hokage.

The Death Reaper swings its knife cutting the link them and the nine tails. The nine tails body was absorb into the young infant as Minato's and Kushina's soul were absorb into the Reaper's stomach but only to be shot back into Naruto's seal.

The Death Reaper licked its lips once last time before it looked to its right and let out an evil chuckle but it vanished into nothingness.

In the shadow underneath a tree a powerful being stood there in shadows. The being was tall and as powerful as the being was so was its appearance. Wearing purple color cloak with a large hood covering its face, the being's hands were bones. As there were large bone-like wing on its back this being had a powerful and fearful appearance but the most fearful part of its appearance was. It was holding a giant large size scythe with skulls fuses with the giant blade.

The powerful being tight its grip on its giant scythe, was this being anger by what has happen or was it because of something else or did this being felt it was cheated out of something that belonged to him?

Whatever it was the being stood there quietly upon it spoke these words.

"You cannot cheat Death, You cannot cheat me. I will collect…one day. Until then enjoy your life…little one." The being known as Death turned away and vanished into darkness.

End of Memory link:

"Tsunade-sama he's coming too." Naruto heard Shizune's voice.

"Thank God." Tsunade's voice was heard.

Naruto open his eyes and saw a smiling Jiraiya and Shizune and a tearful but smiling Tsunade.

'I'm alive?' He thought.

"Where's…" Naruto paused the last thing he remember beside the memory link was being with Mito and the old man. Where did they go he wondered?

"Orochimaru and Kabuto left. You're alive Naruto all thanks to Tsunade. She gave you CPR endlessly she didn't stop until you draw breath." Jiraiya told the young ninja.

Naruto was surprise by Tsunade's action. He didn't know what to say but these words.

"Thank you Tsunade." He said before closing his eyes again.

"Naruto!" Tsunade yelled.

"He's alright just needs some rest. We all do. Let's head back to the hotel." Jiraiya told the women. Jiraiya grabbed Naruto's body and carried him on his back.

'Where did they go? Was I really dead? Was it even real?' Naruto wondered as he fell into slumber.

But somewhere deep inside of Naruto's soul something has changed within him.
The nine tailed fox stood behind its cage growling what it sees before it.

Mito Uzumaki stood there with her eyes closed. She opened her blue eyes and stared at the nine tailed fox, Kurama growl at his former and first vessel.

"Hello Kurama how long has been? Seventy or was it eighty years?" She said with a smile.

"I've been sealed for sixty years inside you, seventeen years in Kushina and now twelve years in the boy. I say it has been twenty-nine years since we last met. Why are you here woman? I thought our link was no more." Kurama growled at its first vessel.

"Still angry as ever I." She shook her head in disappointment.

"You regain your beauty I see. Last time we talked you were old and saggy." Kurama laughed.

"True I was old. But in death I was given the form of my prim. Who is this Naruto Uzumaki why is he bound to you? What happen to Kushina?" She asked.

"Dead." Mito's eyes wide greatly.

"Before she died her and foolish husband seal me away inside their first and only born. Though the cage is tight when it comes to space it's better being locked down to a chain and ball and so much better than your seal."

"Being pin down by chains didn't suit you?" Mito joked as she laughed.

"Not when my arms and legs are tie down. I tell you Uzumaki women are into S&M or what? The only the boy give me some space. Uzumaki women sexually dominated even when sealing a beast like me." Kurama rant while Mito blushed.

Putting jokes aside, Kurama glared at the beautiful Uzumaki woman.

"Smell of the dead you have but you also have his smell. So you met Madara again didn't you?" Kurama asked.

"Yes, he refuse move on in the afterlife."

"What of you?" Kurama asked again.

"I cannot move on. My husband I do not know where he is. Both him and his vanish right after our serve time in the City of the Dead was done. We were judged and we were given a clean state. All of our sins were forgiven and we were ready but they vanish. I can't move on without them and now all of this." Mito sighed while frowning.

"What do you mean all of this?" Kurama asked.

"Naruto, I know he has been mistreated. My death wish I know it has misused." She said while glaring.

"Oh you mean the next host of the nine tails. Must be filled with love and never to be mistreated or use as a weapon for a means of starting or ending a war?" Kurama said while grinning.

"Yes," She said, Mito looked greatly disappointed.

"Sorry Mito. But yeah they didn't listen nor did they do it. Kushina got it well for seventeen years. But her son well Konoha pretty much screw him over. He's been an orphan since birth. The Third Hokage put him in an orphanage but it didn't last long. So he gave Naruto his own place. He was never adopted by another family. Naruto never knew who his parents were. He believed he was born alone, or they abandon him. He doesn't know what being loved is about. I am surprise how well he took it though." Kurama told his first vessel.

Mito was not only disappointed but was sad and angry what the people of her Husband's village after her passing. She could have claim Kurama a lair but she knew him and been with him for nearly all of her life.

"I was told Naruto has strong feelings for my granddaughter is this true?" She asked.

Kurama laughed at first but stop when Mito gave him pissed glare.

"The feelings are strong. At first he hated her because she refused to take up the title of being the Fifth Hokage. But Shizune, the niece of Dan, Tsunade's dead lover told Naruto the story of Tsunade's life. Your grandson is dead but Tsunade lives. Naruto can share with Tsunade's pain, your granddaughter was about to be killed but Naruto saved her. I would say right now he has a crush on her. If I was Naruto I would feel the same. She's beautiful just like her grandmother." Kurama chuckled as Mito blushed.

"I always thought you hated me? You always did call me red-bitch or even nastier name." Mito stared at Kurama.

"I was young. And also I didn't want to be seal away I was being control by Madara."

"You were dangerous we had to no choice." She told it.

"Just like when my brothers and sisters were sealed away they said the same thing." Kurama growled.

"Your power is fearful."

"If I wasn't seal behind this cage I would so."

"You would do what?" She snapped a glare.

"Make you mine Mito-chan." Kurama said as Mito looked away and once again she was blushing. Kurama's behavior is far different from when they first met.

Naruto Uzumaki was dead but now he was revived. What will he do now upon living again, what will do now having a part of Death's power within his soul. Will he continue in search for the demon who took his parent's soul but little does he know they have always been within him or will he return to Konoha with Tsunade, Shizune and Jiraiya?

So many questions but so little answers, but very soon those questions will be answer and soon a new power will raise. As up in the sky a large greenish black colored Raven fly over as it set its eyes on young Naruto Uzumaki
