Chapter I: Invasion

Screams of pain ripped through the night sky as Namikaze Kushina's contraction hit. Minato's brow gleamed with sweat as he forced his chakra into the seal adorning his wife's stomach which contained the Kyuubi no Kitsune. The seal was battered from the last time she had given birth seven years ago to her eldest son Namikaze Naruto.

Naruto at this point in time was in one of the shelters of the Uchiha Complex on the far side of the village, with his childhood friends Uchiha's Itachi and Shisui. Mikoto and Kushina were very good friends during their active shinobi days and still were as were Fugaku and Minato. Both parts of the respective couple's husbands were on teams with their opposite wives. Minato Namikaze, Mikoto Uchiha and Hizashi Hyuuga and Fugaku Uchiha, Kushina Uzumaki and Dan Higurashi.

"One more push Kushina-Sama, he's crowning." Called Sarutobi Biwako, wife of the former Sandaime Hokage. She had assisted in the birth of Naruto and now she was assisting in the birth of Namikaze Hantei. It looked like Hantei was going to look more like his mother whilst Naruto looked like a carbon replica of his father aside from whisker marks and slightly taller.

Then everything went downhill, a secret alarm started to blare in the hideout and four of the eight ANBU crumpled in a spray of blood, as they fell back and blood erupted from their torn open throats. Biwako, held Hantei close and just managed to backflip out of the way as a kunai slashed where her throat would have been. Then he appeared, he was about 5'10, wearing hooded robes that concealed his body with the only a kunai being visible and a bright orange mask "Hand over the jinchuriki or you all die."

Minato vanished in flash of yellow, he grabbed Biwako, Hantei and Kushina and vanished again before the masked could react. "Fire style: Room purge." Called one of the ANBU unleashing a tidal wave of fire chakra at the masked man who had waltzed through several layers of seals on a whim.

The masked man cackled and faded from view only to rematerialize behind a young Hatake Kakashi "You…" He didn't finish his sentence as suddenly he was whisked away in a streak of yellow, he landed like a cat and stared down Namikaze Minato.

"Hidenjutsu: Fuuinbunshin! Foolish Hokage…Now don't try anything hasty. You only have one shot to kill the right one, remember what happens if you get the wrong one?"

Minato eyes flickered between his two foes and launched his kunai. It cut through the air like a knife and he vanished. "RASENGAN!" Shouted Minato as his second signature attack slammed solidly landed on the back of his opponent's head.

"Too bad Yondaime that I'm a clone of a clone…Care to guess where I really am?" With that the clones fell apart as pure terror thundered into existence as the infamous Nine Tailed Fox appeared not far from the Village of Konohagakure No Sato.

( Konoha)

The moment the fox appeared, the klaxons began to blare. Shinobi both retired and active surged into action. Genin began escorting civilians into the bunkers before sealing the younger ones in as well and running for cover.

The Akimichi Clan, rushed out of their clan compound in a wedge formation forming on Akimichi Chouza the fifteenth head of the Clan and as one they shouted "BAIKA NO JUTSU!" The Nine Tailed Fox was big but even it was going to feel the force of about two hundred miniature titans all armed from Bo-staffs to Tetsubo's. To a passer-by not many knew the difference but to a practioner of bojutsu the difference was simple. The Bo-staff was long and slender and the Tetsubo well it was a fancy bo-staff but shaped more like a club with metal spikes on it.

Bo-staffs hurt against unprotected flesh but Tetsubo strike leaves nothing but a smear of red wherever they hit. They weren't the only clan to be striking hard and fast. The feral and fearsome ninja-dog trainer clan of the Inuzuka were also launching large scale attacks.

Meanwhile other shinobi from other clans were making themselves useful, the Uchiha were busy assisting the civilians into shelters before a few turned and fled to the sanctuary of their compound, a few however entered the fray utilising their mastery of Katon to provide suitable distractions of the fox.

The Hyuuga were not doing much apart from take up the slack of the Police Force as they were taijutsu hand-to-hand experts rather than jutsu users like the Uchiha. "We must hold the line until Yondaime-Sama arrives." Ordered the Sandaime Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen who stood with his two team mates and guarded only by two ANBU Black Ops members.

(Minato and Masked Man)

The masked man disintegrated into rubble as another version appeared. This one's levels of chakra were on par with his or perhaps greater "Your village is burning. Now destroy me or save your village?"

Minato's eyes crystallised and using even more speed that caught the masked man off guard had eight Hiriashin kunai held loosely in the gaps of his fingers and thumbs and launched them at astounding speed "Kage Hiraishin Kunai no Jutsu." Mumbled Minato before dissolving into a flicker of light.

The fight, if you could call it that was done within twenty seconds. As fast and intangible the masked man was, Minato was faster. Minato slammed his shin into the man's stomach activating a concealed Keiyaku Fuuin, Contract Seal which he had written onto a note which was stored on his pant shin with a Concealed Contact Fuuin. The masked man groaned in pain as the ground shook from the force of the kick and seals, if someone looked closely into Minato's steel cold blue eyes and looked closely, flecks of orange would have been detected.

At the time of his coronation, Minato had been studying under the toads to learn Senpo or Sage Jutsu, something that his son would later on come to master or had mastered in a different time line that had involved a protracted battle at this current point.

"You may have won this time." With that the masked man retreated. Minato couldn't react quick enough he vanished to a safe house, grabbed his haori and Hantei "I'm going to seal the fox inside Hantei…Using the Eight Trigrams Sealing with the Death God Reaper…" Kushina pushed herself to her feet.

"I'm going to help you Dattebane." Kushina stated through gritted teeth. Minato tried to push his wife back but she got to her feet, her clothes shredded. Minato groaned as he grabbed his son and wife and they vanished to fight the Kyuubi.

"Kuchiyose: Yatai Kuzushi no Jutsu!" Yelled two people as two toads; one magenta and the other purple landed with an earth shattering boom on the fox.

The Sandaime grinned, the Yondaime had arrived and bounded over to the toads. "Hold him steady Bunta, Hiro."

"We'll do our best punks…Wait! What are you doing!" Rumbled Bunta but the Yondaime wasn't listening as he summoned an altar. The ground cracked as Jiraiya joined him.

"Minato, I'll do it…Hantei and Naruto are going to need the pair of you." Minato looked at his sensei "I'm Hok…" He didn't finish as Jiraiya incapacitated his second student and apprentice "Noble minded…" Jiraiya to was taken down as Sarutobi arrived.

"It's treason to attack your kage, foolish young apprentice. Biwako is dead, I won't live for much longer. I'll do it KUCHIYOSE: DEATH REAPER SEAL!" With that Sarutobi and Kushina sundered the Kyuubi in half and sealed half inside Hantei. As Kushina died she moulded a final hand seal "Ninpo: Memory transfer no jutsu Naruto-kun. When you find this seal, I'm dead my darling. I died sealing the fox alongside Sandaime-Jiji into your little brother. I know you'll find this hard to accept and understand but please my little fishcake look after your tou-san and otouto. I'm leaving you my knowledge of seals and kenjutsu. Be strong, be brave and don't come to me until you've lived a full life."

With that Kushina's eyes closed for the last time.

Across the village in the shelter huddled with Uzuki Yugao and Uchiha's Itachi and Shisui, tears fell from Naruto's eyes "I'll miss you kaa-san." He didn't know how he knew but he knew that his mother had died that night.

"You okay Ruto-chan?" Asked Shisui, a young genin.

"Kaa-san's gone…Tou-sans okay and Sandaime-jiji has also gone."

Minato and Jiraiya groaned, sat upright, leant back and jumped to their feet "MINATO!"

"SENSEI!"

"HOW ARE YOU ALIVE/THE FUCK SENSEI!/ KNOCKING ME OUT!" They shouted at each other. Minato sagged "I remember you knocking me out. Then heard something hit the ground."

"Sensei knocked me out. You heard me hitting the floor. Kushina-chan and Sensei must have sealed the Fox…" A soft wailing was heard and Jiraiya bounded over to Hantei with the seal clearly emblazoned on his abdomen.

Minato smirked "Single father of two and a Hokage. Oh boy."
