Chapter 1: Death to the Demon

Disclaimer: I don't own naruto and probably never will.

This is my first time writing so hopefully it's well received I've been wanting to write this for awhile and just recently became motivated to do so. Basic idea is what if Minato didn't die and raised naruto. There are many similar to this idea but all different so I hope you all like my interpretation

(Name is changeable haven't set this one in concrete)

Naruto: God of Shinobi

Night of the Kyuubi attack

Minato stared at his wife, one claw from the Kyuubi going right through her stomach. She looked at him and smiled "I'm sorry Minato but our son needs you in his life", she says tears streaming down both of their faces

They had both jumped in front of the claw ready to sacrifice themselves to protect their newborn child. At least they both were supposed to, however at the last second Kushina created one last chakra chain to collide with Minato barely avoiding the claw going through him as well.

He stared at her "K-Kushina please don't leave us it's not supposed to be this way he needs us both in his life we're both supposed to be there for him not just me."

"He'll have you and that's good enough I love you both protect our son from the man that did this teach him everything he'll need to know and be a great father Minato I love you both. Now I'm going to seal half of it in you and the other half in Naruto he will need its power, you both will, to defeat the man who did this.", She proceeded to do the seals to summon the Shinigami. It's hand reached into her and into the Kyuubi it then sealed half of it in Minato and the other half in Naruto.

Minato fell to the ground on his hands and knees, gasping as the pain in his stomach unbearable. He looked at Kushina who was on the ground now she looked at him and smiled "take care of him make sure he eats healthy watch out while he's around ero- Jiraiya sensei and Lady Tsunade don't let him pick up their habits and Minato I love you."

Minato looked up at her "I love you too Kushina, we will defeat him when he returns and our son will become a great ninja" the Shinigami then took her soul and the pain in his stomach subsided. There was barely any strength left in him but he needed to see his son. He crawled to Naruto "My son you will be great." Then the world went black

The barrier dropped and Hiruzen ran forward in his battle gear. "Oh Kami Kushina no." He ran to her but knew she was gone he then ran to Minato and with relief found a pulse. " MEDICS NOW WE ARE NOT LOSING HIM TOO!" He screamed causing Naruto to wake up and begin crying. Hiruzen walked over to the newborn child and picked him up gently rocking him back and forth "there there little one you'll be ok everything will be ok" the medics appeared and quickly did a scan of Minato and Naruto.

"Both are alright Minato is just suffering from chakra exhaustion he'll wake up in the morning tired but ok. And Sarutobi-Sama they both have the eight-trigrams seal, they're both the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi." Two of the medics then picked up Minato on a stretcher and shunshin to the hospital with Hiruzen in tow carrying Naruto.

The next morning

Minato awoke with a start "Kushina!" He screamed praying to Kami that it was all a dream. He looked around and saw he was in the hospital and saw Naruto waking up next to him. The Anbu burst into the room "Hokage-Sama is everything ok?",

"Yes I'm fine now I was just hoping that I woke up from a nightmare"

"We are sorry for your loss Hokage-Sama if you need anything we will be outside the door."

"Thank you bear, please inform Hiruzen-Dono that I have woken up I know he will want to speak with me

"Hai hokage-sama"

Minato then raised his hospital gown to inspect the new seal on his stomach. Everything seemed to be perfect he then inspected naruto's and found the same results. "Kushina I miss you already you did a fantastic job."

The aged Sarutobi walked in his face tired and drained. "Minato what happened?" Minato then told him everything of the masked man of him summoning and controlling the Kyuubi of their fight and finally of Kushina's sacrifice and his and his sons new status as jinchuriki's. "Jiraiya and Tsunade are on their way back I informed them after I brought Naruto here, they were close and should be here tomorrow at latest until then you need rest."

"No I need to talk to my people and inform them of what occurred and show that I am healthy, hopefully my status as a Jinchuriki will deter them from hating me or my son."

Hiruzen sighed and looked at Minato and saw the determination and strength return back to him "fine would you like me to send some Anbu to retrieve your clothes and some for Naruto as well?"

"Yes, and Hiruzen I'm sorry about Biwako she was an amazing medic."

The previous hokage turned to look out the window while tears began to fall down his face " I need to tell Asuma still."

The Anbu arrived with the clothing and food for all three of them. After they ate and got ready Minato picked up Naruto and teleported to hokage tower where a crowd was already formed wanting to know what happened to the Kyuubi and their Hokage.

Minato appeared in front of the building the crowd gasped slightly at the sight of his son. "Last night we suffered many losses I myself lost my wife Kushina Uzumaki." His voice was amplified so everyone could here him. More and more people joined the crowd to the point where majority of the village was in the area. A murmur spread across the crowd as no one even knew the Hokage had even been dating someone let alone married and had a child. "She sacrificed herself to seal the Kyuubi away in me and my son. We are Jinchuriki but we are not controlled by the demon as many as you believe. Kushina was the previous Jinchuriki and I know many of you were close friends with her. I love this village and its people but I will not stand for anyone disrespecting my son because they get the foolish thought that he is the Kyuubi. Repairs will begin immediately but for now the danger to this village is gone."

The was much talk around the village after that. Their Hokage was the container of the Kyuubi but he seemed the same, perhaps there was nothing to fear and he wasn't controlled by the demon. Not only that but he had a son! A son who will surely be powerful and continue to protect this village as a ninja and be as great a Shinobi as his parents. But there was also news that those who saw the Kyuubi claimed its eyes were red with three tomoe. Once Minato heard of this he immediately summoned Fugaku to the tower.

"Hokage-Sama you wished to speak with me?" The elder Uchiha said with a slight warmth.

"Fugaku you know there's no reason to address me as such, Minato is just fine. And as to why I summoned you here, I presume you've heard the rumors spreading about the Kyuubi?"

"Yes I have, and they are disheartening there is much distrust towards the Uchiha lately."

"It was an Uchiha who controlled the Kyuubi Fugaku, but there's only one Uchiha who can do that"

"B-But that's not possible he's dead!"

"If anyone could cheat death this long it's him, there's no one strong enough to control it or with the knowledge to be able to plan out the full attack, he's done it before it wouldn't be hard to do it again."

"Madara Uchiha is back, Minato I'm sorry this man is from my clan and-"

"Please Fugaku this man does not represent the Uchiha, one evil person does not represent everyone as a whole."

"Minato thank you, I almost forgot, Mikoto and I would like you to stay at the Uchiha compound we will help with raising young Naruto while you run this village and I know it must be hard to be home."

"I haven't stepped foot in the house yet, I haven't been able to yet and yes I accept your offer, thank you my friend.

Well I didn't mean for this to be so long, they usually won't be from here on out I just wanted to have the ground basis set for the story as the next chapter will already be Naruto in the academy about to graduate there will be some flashbacks to explain stuff here and there as well. Hopefully you all enjoyed this see ya guys next time
