Chapter One

Run.

Run.

Run.

This was all that could be thought as a woman made her way down the mud covered road in the rain as she looked back to see the light of the crowd chasing after her yelling at her to stop. But she wouldn't listen, she had to keep going, for her sake, for her husband's sake, for her son's sake. She kept running until she saw a path going off the road and to the sacred cave that was forbidden to enter under any circumstances, thinking that they wouldn't follow her there she quickly took the path and ran uphill towards the cave.

As the mob got to the path, they searched for her and looked towards the path, "Quickly, some of you check up there now!" The apparent leader of the mob stated as she brushed some pink hair out of her eyes.

One of the others in the crowd said otherwise. "Are you crazy! There's no way I'm going up there, and beside not even she would dare go there in fear of losing that child of hers. She is as good as dead if she did go." The women couldn't find a problem wrong with the man's logic and just kept walking forward, determined to find that woman and her path to the good life.

Meanwhile at the cave, the woman walked into the dark, damp space and leaned against the wall and tried to catch her breath. Seeing the woman more clearly, she had a slender, but feminine build, fair skin, violet eyes, fiery red hair with strands that framed both sides of her face and a black clip that parts her hair to the left, keeping it out of her eyes. She wore an outfit consisting of a high-collared, sleeveless blouse under a long, loose-fitting dress. The blouse was white while the dress was green. She also wore a wristband that was black/dark blue on her left wrist and simple sandals on her now muddy feet. In her arms was a small bundle wrapped in a blue blanket the was still as a rock, but if you could see more closely it was slowly rising up and down like it was breathing.

She looked down to the bundle in her arms and had a small, weak smile on her face. In it was a little baby with blonde hair and some kind of whisker marks on the sides of his face, this was her son, Naruto. She held him closer to her chest as she remembered what those…people were planning on doing with him and couldn't help but cry a little as she thought of how her village, the one she had lived in and trusted in, would try and do such a thing to both her and her husband. While this was going on she never noticed a mark on her arm glow as she snuggled her baby into her arms. As she continued to hug her son for all that it was worth a hand placed itself on her shoulder making her instantly flinch in contact and pull a sword out of thin air, ready to protect her son from anyone.

"Kushina, it's me!" A masculine voice spoke as he put his hands up in defense. The was a fairly tall, fair-skinned man bright, blue eyes and spiky, blond hair that also had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face making him look very handsome. He wore a black long sleeved top with two bands on each sleeve and a green zip up vest over top, he also wore a slightly saggy pair of blue pants with blue sandals on his feet. He also wore some kind of short sleeved coat with orange flames lining the bottom and the symbol for the Wizard Saints on the back. The woman, now named Kushina, just stared with wide eyes as tears started to form in her eyes. "Minato-kun!" she yelled as she rushed into his arm, being careful not to hurt Naruto as she did.

Minato just hugged his wife and son as Kushina cried her into his shoulder as he rubbed her back and whispered soothing words in her ear. When she finished crying Kushina looked up towards Minato only to gasp a little as he looked like he hadn't slept in days and took in deep amounts of breath, but during all that he had a smile on his face as his two most precious people were safe and sound. "Minato, what happened to you!" Kushina said in a panic as Naruto started to wake and looked up towards both of his parents with curious blue eyes.

"It seems that I messed up, I had no idea that the villagers would use poison laced weapons and I got scratched. I'm so sorry." Minato said as Naruto started to cry, almost knowing what was going to happen to his father.

Kushina just looked at Minato with wide eyes as she flinched and clenched her right arm in pain. Minato panicked a little when he saw this, he looked at Kushina's shoulder and saw that she was cut with something the left a purple liquid around the wound. Minato's eyes widened as he knew what it was."Kushina...don't tell me?" he said with a pleading look on his face that only got worse as he saw her looking down, almost ashamed.

"I got careless and let my guard down, I was so worried about Naruto that I didn't see one of the blades coming until it hit me. I'm sorry." Kushina said as she looked at Naruto and tried to calm him down. Minato just put his hands on her shoulder and smiled at her the best he could. "It's okay Kushina, at least Naruto is fine. Thats all that matters at the moment, right?" Minato asked as Kushina looked up to him with a small smile on her face and nodded her head slightly but then gained a worried look on her face as she starts coughing up blood.

"Kushina!" Minato shouted and tried to look over her but then fell on his hands and knees as his breathing started to get worse. He knew it was a fast acting poison but he didn't think that it would affect him this soon, and judging by how quickly Kushina started to cough up blood with the time he started doing it and how long she was away from him she must of been hit with a much higher concentration of the stuff than he did. He knew that they will not make it to another village in time to save their son. He knew that Kushina was thinking the same thing as she started to cry while holding Naruto closer to her and did the only he could, he hugged both of them for all it was worth and started crying.

They cried for what seemed like hours as they lay on the floor before they looked like they were at the end. With the last of his strength Minato grabbed both his and Kushina's hands and put them both on Naruto and channeled some of his magic into them. "Kushina...I'm going to put some of our magic...inside of Naruto...so that...when he gets older...we will be able to see him...when he gets rescued."

"But...how will...you know...he will be...rescued?" Kushina whispered out as she began losing her strength.

"I have faith...that someone...will come along...and save him….I'm sure of it." Minato reassured her and finished the spell but kept both of their hands on Naruto as he slept quietly. "We won't see him for a while...so let's tell Naruto...what we want to say to him…"

Kushina looked towards Minato with a little bit of happiness in her eyes at being able to see her son when he was older but was saddened that it would take that long to see him. She moved on of her hands and rested it on Naruto's head as she spoke to him. "Naruto...don't be a picky eater… Eat a lot...and grow big and strong. Make sure to bathe every day...and stay warm… Don't stay up late… Get plenty of sleep… Plus...make friends… You don't need tons...okay…? Just a few...that you can really trust… And...your Mom was bad at this...but study hard...and learn your magic…! Just… Everyone...is good at some things and not so good at others… So even if...things don't go well...don't get depressed. okay…?"

"Make sure you respect...your teachers and those senior to you… Oh...and be extra careful about loaning and borrowing money… Make sure you save money...from your mission pay… And...don't start drinking until you're 21… Too much drink is bad for your body...so...drink in moderation… And...the most problematic… Girls…" Minato smiled at this part and did a weak chuckle. "I'm a girl so I don't really know much about this… But...at some point...you'll notice girls… And that's normal… just be careful… Don't fall for the first girl that comes your way… Find someone...like me. And don't be like your father...who was a dense as a rock when it came to me and my feelings." "H-Hey" "And make sure...to give me lots of grand babies to spoil… Huff...Huff… Naruto...there'll be plenty of hard...and painful...time ahead… Take care of yourself… ...Make sure to have dreams...and the confidence to make those dreams...come true…! So much…! There's so...so...much…! *sob* There really...There really is...so much more I want...I want to tell you… I want to be with you longer…!" Kushina kept crying as Minato put his hand on top of hers and squeezed it gently.

"...I love you."

"..."

"I'm sorry...Minato...I talked too much…" Kushina started arguing as Minato cut her off.

"No...It's alright…" Minato looked towards Naruto with tears in his eyes as he was about to say his first and final word to give to his son. "...Naruto...My words to you as your father...is listen to your motor-mouth mother…" Minato had a warm smile on his face as he and his wife had tears rolling down their faces and hugged their son tightly between them before closing their eyes and drifting off into an endless slumber.

A gentle breeze passed through the cave as two leaves made there way towards the departed family members and their son. Blowing aimlessly through the cave before resting on the hands of the parents, transferring their will to their son….

Little did Minato and Kushina know they were both being watched while they said goodbye to their son. At the end of the cave was a large shrine composed of light stone flanked by four small pillars with square sections, one sitting at each edge, being topped by a pair of vertically-placed, flat carved stones, with small geometrical parts jutting upwards on each summit, on the side nearest to the other stone, and a circular hole being generated by two carved semicircles on each stone's inner side(1). In the middle of the circles was a large rainbow coloured gem that that looked like a lizard's eye that was currently shining towards the family(2).

'How sad, no hatchling should be born and lose their parents on the same day, and two of the most caring and honorable humans I have seen in years. I can tell he will be a strong and noble mage in the future if his parents are anything to go by. I wonder…' The 'eye' then shone brighter and magical particles moved towards the family members and seemed to float around them for a few seconds before returning back. 'Yes, he will be the one. I will make sure that your boy lives, but you won't have to wait all those years to meet with him.'

The 'eye' then glowed as bright as a star while white magic circle appeared below the family and a pillar of light engulfed all of them. As soon as it started it ended with the family nowhere in sight and the 'eye's' light started to fade before before it went out and left the cave dark and damp once again.

Dragon Realm - Meadow of Memories

Gold. That was the first thing that went through Minato's mind as he woke up lying in a grassy field that was covered in gold. Looking closer at the colour he was shocked to see that the field wasn't covered in gold but the grass itself was gold. Sitting up and rubbing his temples from a migraine he was having he looked up and widened his eyes in shock at what he saw.

The sky was the brightest blue he had ever seen and what seemed like the sun high in the sky radiating a calm and warming aura that made his soul light up and feel relaxed. But what really made his eyes widen was the large chunks of earth floating around the sky with different climate zones on them and large mountains on almost every one of them. All in all it look beautiful and a place that made him feel like he was in heaven. Just then Minato remembered everything, the village betraying them, being poisoned by his teacher and predecessor, running away from the village, being with Kushina and Naruto in a cave…

"Kushina!" He shouted as he looked around everywhere for his wife and son only to calm down a bit when he saw Kushina laying down on the ground, peacefully sleeping as she breathed in and out. Minato slowly made his way over to his wife and gently stroked her hair and whispered in her ear. "Kushina dear, it's time to wake up."

"Umm...five more minutes Mina-kun." Kushina mumbled out as she turned away from Minato and snuggled more into the soft grass. Minato just sweat dropped at his wife's actions and started to nudge her awake. "Kushina, now's not the time to be sleeping. You need to wake up."

Kushina just rubbed moaned in disappointment and sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Why did you have to wake me up Minato, I was having a lovely dream about you, me and Naru...Naruto! My baby, where's my baby!" Kushina shouted and looked around frantically as she remembered what happened to them and panicked.

"I don't know Kushina, I just woke up now and I have no idea where we are. But I do remember us being poisoned and…" Minato trailed off as he looked at the sad and watering eyes of his wife.

"No..no..nooo…" Kushina then started to break down crying and mumbling out out her poor son and backstabbing villagers taking everything away from her. Minato just hugged her close to him as she gripped onto him for dear life and once again cried for her son's sake. They both stopped however when they felt a large pressure of magical energy weigh them down and a large shadow pass over them. As they looked up they saw a something that made them crawl back slightly on the ground and prepare their magic incase they needed it.

Flying high above them and getting lower by the second was a massive dragon that was slowly making it's way towards them and flapping its wings causing a powerful gust of wind that made both mages cover their eyes and brace themselves so as not to be sent flying backwards. When the dragon had finally landed they got a better look at it and started to sweat at the size of it. It was a western dragon with four legs and and silver/white scales all over it's body and wings that made them look like a rainbow of colours when the sun reflected off them. It's eyes were blue with slits in them and had golden horns on it's head that was fashioned like it was wearing a crown with a diamond gem on it's forehead. The creature folded it's impressive wings up and looked towards the two mages in front of it.

"Welcome young mages, My name is Ryujin, The first Dragon, the Supreme Dragon King and the Dragon God, and you are in the domain of all dragons and the place where dragons ascend when they die in your world. The Dragon Realm." The dragon said with a voice of nobility and pride. Feeling no hostility towards the dragon they slowly lowered their guard and stood up before the towering figure before them.

"H-Hello Ryujin-sama, My name is Minato Namikaze and this is my wife Kushina Uzumaki." Both Minato and Kushina bowed towards the dragon and surprised them when he bowed back to them but continued anyway. "I don't mean to be rude or anything, but why are we here?"

Ryujin nodded before looking at both of them in the eyes and started explaining to them. "Well Minato-san, the reason why you and your wife are both here is simple really; I saw both of you in the cave with your son and decided to help both of you with your son." As soon as the dragon said that both Minato and Kushina were wide eyed and Kushina asked him. "You know what happened to our son?" she said in a hopeful voice as Ryujin nodded and signaled for them to follow him.

While they were walking Ryujin decided to continue talking to them. "I first saw Kushina-san in the cave rushing in with a bundle in her arms, now normally I would just send out a bit of my magical energy and scare away anyone who dares enter my old cave but then I saw you crying and decided to listen to you and see what was happening. Imagine my surprise when I hear that both of you have been poisoned and were dying right in front of your child all at the hands of your own village, when I heard that I decided to see this for myself." He looked back to see that they were wide eyed and had their jaws open enough to catch flies and other insects.

"When I got to your village I saw an old human saying something about their plan being ruined and some white hair man claiming to be a super pervert or something saying that he was going to take a squad out to hunt for both of you." The dragon raised a barely noticeable eyebrow when he saw both of them look murderous but carried on. "I had enough of what was happening and went back to the cave, when I did I heard you Minato-san say that you were going to put both of your magic inside of the boy and say your final words to him. I saw how much you were willing to protect and care for your hatchling that I decided to honor you final wish and look after him." When the dragon finished talking Minato and Kushina were shocked to hear that a being as power a Ryujin was willing to do all of this for them but still had one thought on there minds.

"Umm, Ryujin-sama" Kushina started as the dragon looked towards her "If that is the case then why are we here? You said that you would be willing to look after our son but what did you mean by that?" she questioned as Ryujin had a smile on his face that looked downright scary in Kushina and Minato's opinion.

"Well that is because Kushina-san, no hatchling deserves to lose their parents the day they are born, especially ones like yourselves." Both Minato and Kushina blushed at the compliment said by the dragon. "So I did you both another favour, I transported both of you as well to this realm in order to raise your son like you wanted to."

Both mages stopped in their tracks at what Ryujin said and did not move a single step. They both had registered what the great dragon said to them and started to gain big, bright smiles on their faces. They could raise their son without any problems at all, no village holding them back, no nosey villages hoping to train or spoil their child, and no backstabbing traitors who would do who-knows-what in order to gain power for their greedy little hands. Just them and their little bundle of joy. They were so eager to see him that they immediately ran right past Ryujin and headed straight towards where they were heading.

Ryujin meanwhile just blinked at the speed displayed by the two mages and just shook his head with a chuckle and walked faster in order catch up with the pair.

Dragon Realm - Forest of Fate

The Forest of Fate, one of the most peaceful places in the dragon realm and the birthplace of many dragon hatchlings. This was the scene that Minato and Kushina walked into as they saw many baby dragons playing around with each and sending out different roars at each other that did a little destruction to the trees around them, as they came to a clearing in the middle of the forest they saw a small group of baby dragons crowding around a small patch in the middle. When Minato and Kushina got closer the hatchlings cleared a way for them and they had tears of happiness in their eyes at what lay in front of them.

In a small bundle on top of a small pile of leaves was Naruto, sleeping peacefully as the baby dragons sniffed him and gave looks of curiosity at the new, unknown creature that was in front of them. When they saw two other creatures coming towards them with the same scent as the small one in front of them they moved away from it as Kushina stepped forward and picked Naruto up into her arms.

Kushina hugged naruto for all that it was worth and cried tears of joy at being able to hold her baby boy in her arms again and watch him grow up to be a man before her eyes, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her and Naruto and leaned into it as she knew that to was Minato joining in on the family moment. They stayed like this for a couple of moments before the baby dragon began to play around them and licked there feet making the pair giggle at the dragons playfulness. They played with them for a couple of minutes before Ryujin walked into the clearing with another dragon beside him. The dragon was another western dragon with red scales covering it's whole body with golden slitted eyes and horns on its head that looked like a crown with a ruby on it's head just like Ryujin. Another difference was that the dragon was slightly smaller than Ryujin but not that much and had an aura around it that felt Kushina's when she was around Naruto, an aura of motherhood.

"Well look at what we have here, these young hatchlings seem to have found some new people to play with." The red dragon said with mirth in it's voice that sounded female in nature as she looked towards the laughing couple and their baby as they played with the baby dragons around them.

"Hmm, I must agree Benihime, they do look like they found some new playmates. But I'm afraid that we must cut it short as I have some business to finish with Minato-san and Kushina-san." Ryujin said with some seriousness in his voice as Benihime nodded and moved towards the hatchling and moved them out of the way so that Ryujin could talk to Minato and Kushina. When she had moved them all out of the way Ryujin walked towards the two mages as they sat together on the ground as Kushina was holding Naruto in her arms and Minato had one of his arms around her.

Ryujin sighed as he began talking. "Minato, Kushina I think it's time I told you the main reason I brought you and your child here." Minato and Kushina looked at Ryujin with raised eyebrows. "The true reason is that I want him to learn my magic."

Both parents had wide eyes at what the dragon just said but managed to get out of their shock quickly. "What do you mean Ryujin-sama, why do you want naruto to learn your magic? And what exactly is your magic?" Minato questioned the Dragon God who just sighed and began to explain some things to them.

"Let me start with this, Over 400 years ago, the Dragons were the Kings of the World and humans were food to the Dragons who flew the skies, freely dominating the lands and seas. However, an unknown Dragon questioned the reign of the Dragons. The latter wanted the Dragons and the humans to coexist in the world. A war brewed between the Dragons who supported Dragon-human coexistence, and those who were against the ideology. The war spread chaos through the lands and the Dragons were at stalemate. The human-supporting Dragons devised a cunning plan. They provided some humans with Magic that allowed them to slay Dragons, this gave birth to the Dragon Slayers."

"These Dragon Slayers were feared throughout the world as monstrous mages with unknown capabilities and immense potential to become literal Gods among normal humans. The plan proved to be very successful, as the human-supporting Dragons gain the upper hand in the war. However, they did not anticipate their fellow Dragons Slayers' next move. Corrupted by the immense power gifted unto them by the Dragons, the Dragon Slayers started to slay the Dragons on their side." Minato and Kushina gasped at what the dragon slayers did to their own comrades but they both knew that Ryujin was not finished yet.

"But there was one man among the Dragon Slayers who bathed in the blood of too many dragons. He continued to destroy dragons and bathe in their blood until he began to change." Minato didn't like where this story was heading and had a bad feeling about what Ryujin wanted to do with Naruto. "His skin turned to scales, his teeth to fangs, his nails turned into claws...He transformed into a dragon himself."

"A human… became a dragon?" Kushina gasped as she held Naruto tighter.

"This particular human proclaimed himself to be the Dragon King, and became known as The Black Dragon, or as you might know him: The Black Dragon in the Book of Apocalypse, Acnologia." At the name of the black dragon Minato and Kushina paled and took a step back in both shock and fear. Acnologia was well known throughout Earthland as the bringer of death and destruction, as well as a name that struck fear into the hearts of even the Four Gods of Ishgar. They had no idea that that, that...monster had such a history, and such power. It really worried them about what their son had to do with this story but they had a pretty good idea of what it would be.

"I can see by your faces you have an idea of what I want to do with your son." Ryujin said as though it was a statement and not a question, to which Minato and Kushina nodded towards him. "I want him to be able to correct the mistake we dragons did in the past and defeat Acnologia, as the first God Dragon Slayer." Ryujin said proudly as he rose to his full height and spread his wings out to there full length. Minato and Kushina looked at the dragon with awe as the sun reflecting off of his scales from behind made him look God-like. Ryujin then folded his wings back up and leaned down to be level with the two mages. "Of course I will need your permission in order to teach it to him, and he can also learn any magic you want to teach him as well. It's completely your choice."

Minato and Kushina didn't know what to say, on one hand their son could be one of the most powerful wizards alive and will definitely be strong enough to defend himself, especially from those traitors from their previous home. But on the other hand he would have to go up against the most terrifying creature ever created and most likely have a battle to the death with it.

Kushina was the first to speak up and tried to find a way out. "B-But we wont have enough time! He would need to be trained until he's an adult for him to even go up against one of the normal wizards saints with our magic alone. He won't be able to go up against a dragon as powerful as Acnologia."

"There's no need to worry about that, time is much slower here than in the real world. When he retches his prime and is at the peak of his power we can transport him back to Earthland and reverse his age so that he will look the proper age in the real world depending on how much time has passed, and any magic that he has learned and his magical energy will remain the same as well. And my Dragon Slaying Magic is more powerful than Acnologia's will ever be." Ryujin reassured them as he gained a bored look on his face and leaned on one of his front legs like a human would.

Kushina looked ready to argue with the dragon again but was stopped when Minato put a hand on her shoulder. "You have my permission to train him Ryujin-sama." Minato said as Kushina looked at him in shock. "This will be a good thing for him Kushina, we don't know the full extent of Ryujin-sama's Dragon Slaying Magic, but we do know that it must be very power in order to kill a dragon. Plus if what he said is true then we can watch Naruto grow up like we wanted to and make sure that he will become a strong mage just like us, what have we got to lose."

Kushina couldn't help but agree with Minato's logic but was still worried for Naruto's safety. She looked towards Ryujin and said. "Will you promise me that Naruto will be fine when training with you." Ryujin just nodded at the couple and sat up straight.

"So what is your answer Kushina-san?" Ryujin asked as he looked towards the protective mother and her child. Kushina looked at Naruto's sleeping form then towards Ryujin with a sigh.

"I-I give you permission Ryujin-sama." Kushina said as Minato hugged her from behind and gave her a loving smile. Ryujin just grinned at the couple and looked towards the sky with one thought in mind.

'This is going to be very interesting. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze.'
