Hello. This is VKdViKing. This is my first fanfic, so please bear with me.

I have been inspired by many other fanfics on this very website. I know very well the terror on cliche too. So I know these first few episodes will come as cliche to experienced readers. The first one is basically a retelling of the day Naruto was born except with a few changes. So please bear with me on this.

The initial setting of the story is inspired by Psycho G's Neo Yondaime Hokage.

Sadly it didn't end.

CHAPTER UPDATED ON 01/06/2019.

Onto Summary,

Instead of only Naruto, he was born with a twin sister on October 10th. After the Kyuubi attack, half of his chakra was sealed in Naruto and another half in his twin sister, Namiko. They are taken in by Tsunade and raised as Senjus instead of Namikazes and Uzumakis. They gain a lot of power and receive training from two Sannins from early on. How will the story change?

Pairings are canon except for Namiko since she is an OC. Her pairing will be revealed afterwards. Others who didn't get a pairing in canon, may or may not get it. Very strong Naruto and Namiko, along with others in his generation.

Chapter 1: The Children of Legacy

Somewhere, a little far away from Konoha, the Village Hidden in the Leaves, from inside a cave-like structure a scream loud enough to be heard in all the Great Five Nations was heard.

"AAAHHH! IT HURTS, YOU KNOW!"

Inside that cave were four people. The blond-haired, blue-eyed village leader, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was kneeling from the side of a stone slab. His wife, a beautiful woman with long red hair, that was currently splayed across so wide that it looked like a mattress on the makeshift bed, was laying on that slab, panting and tired.

It was the 10th of October. Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze was due to give birth to her twins that day and that was exactly what was happening inside the cave. Now, normally deliveries were done in a hospital, which was obviously present in a great village like Konoha. But Kushina was a special case. Sealed inside her was one of the nine Great Tailed Beasts (Bijuu), the Kyuubi no Kitsune (The Nine-Tailed Fox). People like her were called Jinchuurikis, literally meaning a human sacrifice. And a closely guarded secret about Jinchuurikis, females in particular, was that their seals tended to weaken during childbirth. Hence why Kushina's delivery was being done in a remote cave.

The Third Hokage's wife, Biwako Sarutobi, was at the base of the makeshift bed helping Kushina in the delivery. Lastly, was the midwife, Taji, beside Biwako, ready to provide any assistance.

The Fourth Hokage was desperately trying to keep the seal holding the Kyuubi inside Kushina intact while she was in her labour.

"C' mon out, Naruto, Namiko. You stay inside Kyuubi!" cried Minato.

"I can see the head!" Biwako announced.

Not long after, the cave was filled with a baby's cry.

"Well, Minato it looks like your eldest will be your son, Naruto. We shall wait for your daughter, till then strengthen the seal," Biwako told the new father and handed Naruto to Taji for his post-birth cleanup.

Minato, even though he was dying to see his first child, moved on to do as told. Meanwhile, Kushina took the time for a greatly needed rest. She too wanted to hold her son but knew she would have to wait until his sister joined him. She was in a lot of pain too.

Kushina didn't get much time to rest though. Almost exactly after five minutes, the cave was again filled with her cries, which triggered the rest of the occupants to resume their respective work.

This time though it didn't take much longer, as Namiko seemed quite eager to come out to meet her parents and join her brother.

With a last cry from Kushina, the only sound that remained in the cave were the cries of two babies. Both with the same blond hair as their father but with unique three whisker-like markings on each of their cheeks.

"Congratulations Minato, you got two healthy babies." Biwako happily informed.

Minato, not able to stop himself anymore, stepped up to hold his new family but was shoved aside by the Third's wife.

"Mother first, Father second."

Leaving Minato sulking in a corner, Biwako and Taji walked over to Kushina's head so that she could meet her children first time outside in the living world.

"So we finally meet, eh Naruto, Namiko," Kushina said softly looking at two of her newest most precious creations with affection that only a mother could have. She could not believe that she was able to bring such wonderful babies into the world.

"Now let's get these two properly cleaned up and ready. Make sure to strengthen the seal again, Minato." The Third's wife ordered before she and her assistant moved on to make sure the babies were clean and ready.

"Okay now for the Seal," Minato said folding his sleeves before starting to work on the seal.

"Minato, Thank you," Kushina's voice almost came as a whisper because of the exhaustion that was now settling in.

Minato shook his head, "I should be thanking you Kushina. You added two more precious people to my family."

A sudden scream distracted both of them and made them look towards the source.

"Fourth Hokage Minato, step away from the Jinchuriki." threatened a new figure standing at the entrance of the cave over the lifeless bodies of the Third's wife and Taji, with the newly born twins in his arms ready to kill them.

Minato was shocked, 'How did he get past the ANBU and the barrier?'

"Just wait a minute, just let's be calm, Okay!" Minato tried desperately to dissolve the situation without harming his only minutes old children.

"Speak for yourselves, Fourth Hokage. I'm as calm as I can be." said the unknown figure. He- Minato assumed by his voice- was wearing an orange mask with a fire-like pattern on it and a black robe completely concealing his body.

"Step away from the Jinchuriki or do you not care what happens to the brats?" He threatened again before flinging both infants into the air.

Minato, showing his speed and reflexes, plucked both of them from the air and stuck to the wall using his chakra.

"Leave it to the Yellow Flash of the Leaf, but what about the next one?" The Masked Man said and threw a kunai with an explosive tag towards the father-children trio.

Minato knew he couldn't dodge both the kunai and explosion. So he used the technique he was famous for and teleported away.

Appearing in one of his safe houses he breathed a sigh of relief.

"He forced me to use the Hiraishin and separated us from Kushina." He thought aloud.

He set the two crying babies on a bed, "Don't worry I will save your mother. Stay safe both of you." He assured before teleporting back.

The masked man had already taken Kushina to another place and tied her to pillar-like rocks on either side, exposing the seal on her stomach.

"Okay, now what do you want?", Kushina asked with a much-laboured breath. She was naturally still feeling the after-effects of childbirth.

"I'm going to extract the Kyuubi from you and crush the Leaf." The Masked Man confessed casually as if he was describing the weather.

"Minato's teleportation Jutsu allows him to move instantly to locations that are marked with Jutsu formulas. Those markings are incorporated into your sealing formula. That way, Minato can protect you all the time. But he is far away now. The seal has weakened due to childbirth. Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment?" He explained further.

The single eye, visible through the lone hole in his mask, glowed red, tomoe marks spinning inside.

'Sharingan!' Kushina thought before her world burst into pain.

Inside Kushina, the chains holding the Kyuubi started to melt. Its eyes taking the same form as the masked man.

"Come on out Kyuubi." The Masked Man commanded.

With a mighty roar, a giant mass of red chakra came pouring out of Kushina, before solidifying into a giant red-orange fox with nine swinging tails behind him.

His, or rather Kushina's task complete, the masked man shifted his focus on the nine tails. This, in turn, released Kushina from her bindings, making her collapse onto the rock almost completely out of energy.

"Good, now we will head to the Hidden Leaf village." The Masked Man stated not caring about the now-former Jinchuuriki.

"W-wait..." Kushina managed to breath out.

The Masked Man stopped and looked back at Kushina, "You Uzumakis are simply amazing. You don't die right away after the tailed beast is extracted." He said before he had a thought. "You were the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki. It's only fitting you die by his hands." He added mentally ordering his new pet.

The Kyuubi raised one of its claws and thrust it at Kushina. Unfortunately, or fortunately for Kushina, it only hit the empty ground.

At a distance, Minato appeared with Kushina in his arms on top of a tree.

"You really are as quick as a Flash," The Masked Man complimented.

"M...minato, my babies…." Kushina asked.

"They are safe," Minato assured.

"Thank god. Minato, the masked man, he is going to use the Kyuubi to destroy the Leaf." Kushina told him.

Minato didn't respond to that. He just teleported them back to their babies.

"He flew away. Hmph, no matter let's get to Konoha." The Masked Man said before turning back towards Konoha.

Again, Minato appeared in his safe house in a flash of yellow, now with Kushina in his arms. He laid her on the bed beside her twins.

Kushina pulled her babies close, "Minato, Why?" She asked.

It was probably because he was her husband, that he could understand such a vague question, "Never mind that, just stay with them."

Kushina looked at her babies before looking up again and saw Minato donning his Hokage cloak, "Thank you, and come back safe."

"I'll be right back.", he replied before vanishing again.

Konoha

Unlike the outside of the Leaf village, the inside was completely calm, ignorant of what was approaching.

In one of the alleys, a black swirl suddenly formed out of thin air before the Masked Man appeared from it.

"Summoning Jutsu," he said slamming his hands on the ground. A sealing matrix spread on the ground followed by a massive puff of white smoke.

The sudden spike of the enormous amount of chakra startled all the ninjas in the village, including the former Hokage. Hiruzen Sarutobi was calmly scribbling on a scroll when an ANBU appeared at his window. Before he could say anything though, Hiruzen's brush snapped in half. Given the chakra he felt just now, he already knew something had gone wrong during the Kushina's childbirth. He wanted to believe that the worst hadn't come to pass but as a former Hokage, he had a job to do.

"Alert all the able! We have to push the Kyuubi out of the village before we can subdue him." He ordered the ANBU, who just nodded and shimmered away.

Meanwhile, the Kyuubi had finally appeared out of the cloud of smoke. It didn't waste much time and with a feral roar started wreaking havoc on everything in its way.

As per the orders of their former Hokage, Shinobis of all rank appeared and engaged the mighty beast to keep it at bay.

Said former Hokage also came up, donned in his battle armour and stated, "We have to drive him out of the village!"

He immediately summoned the Monkey King Enma and had him to transform in his Adamantine staff. He extended the staff and started pushing the Kyuubi out of the village.

Elsewhere

Minato and the Masked Man were currently engaged in their own battle.

When Minato had initially gone to face the Kyuubi, it tried to fire a concentrated chakra ball, a Tailed Beast Bomb at him, which he was able to deflect using a Teleportation barrier. But before he could take any other steps to stop the Kyuubi, he was forced to leave the place when the Masked Man suddenly appeared behind him and tried to pull him inside a vortex.

'He has a teleportation jutsu. That's how he was able to grab Kushina and move so quickly. He defeated the ANBU Black Ops assigned to Lord Third, got past my highest level barrier and knew that the Kyuubi's seal will weaken during childbirth. Even more than that, he undid the Kyuubi's seal and tamed him. He slipped in and out of the village's barrier without triggering any alarms. As far as I know, there's only one Shinobi who can do all that.' Minato analyzed the situation in his mind.

"Are you, Madara Uchiha?" Minato asked, "No, that would be impossible. He's dead after all." He continued, answering his own question.

"Hmm, I wonder about that." The Masked Man stated off-handedly while taking off his hood.

"In the end, it doesn't matter who you are. But why attack the Hidden leaf?" Minato asked again.

"What do you want to hear? I could say I did it on a whim or that I planned it or it was for war or… it was for peace." The Masked Man answered cryptically. Chains dropped from his right sleeve, attached to his hand by a cufflink. He proceeded to attach the other end it to his left-hand with another cufflink.

"Now that I've freed the Kyuubi there is no hope for any of you." He claimed.

Both fighters lunged towards each other. Minato tried to slash him with his kunai but to his surprise, he passed right through his opponent, right into the masked man's chains. He quickly teleported away from it to one of his kunais.

'He dematerialized himself before my attack and materialized right after to attack me. I've to use that window to attack.' Minato thought quickly assessing the situation.

With that, both lunged towards each other again. This time instead of slashing with the kunai, Minato threw his kunai at his opponent's head.

The Masked Man didn't seem to care. And rightfully so, as it passed through his head harmlessly. He extended his hand to touch Minato and exclaimed, "I win."

Just then Minato teleported himself to his thrown kunai, a spiralling blue sphere ready in his other hand. He slammed the attack on his opponent's back, shredding his cloak. Before disengaging from his enemy he marked him with his sealing formula and vanished.

The Masked Man himself appeared above a rock with an injured arm which oddly looked like it was melting.

In a blink of an eye, Minato teleported to the masked man and applied another seal on him.

"A contract seal, trying to separate the Kyuubi from me?" the Masked Man asked though it was more like a statement.

"The Kyuubi is no longer yours," Minato replied before disengaging again.

"You are worthy of your title Fourth Hokage. You injured me and separated me from the Kyuubi but he will be mine one day. I shall rule the world and there are plenty of ways to do that." The Masked Man gave his parting words, leaving in the form of swirl swirling around his left eye.

'By the tone he used, he was not joking around.' Minato thought before he vanished too.

Outside the village with Kyuubi

The Kyuubi was preparing another Tailed Beast Bomb when it was interrupted by a giant toad falling on top of it.

"It's the Fourth Hokage." someone exclaimed obviously relieved to see their Hokage on the top of the toad.

"Hold him down for me, Gamabunta," Minato requested the giant amphibian.

"That is going to be tough, even for me," Gamabunta answered from atop the Kyuubi.

Just when the Kyuubi was about to unleash its attack it vanished leaving the Toad boss on the ground.

A giant explosion occurred far away into the mountains causing the former Hokage as well as his subordinates to hurry towards it.

Somewhere in the mountains

Minato appeared with his wife by his side and his two children in his arms.

'I need to erect a barrier but my chakra is too low.' thought the Fourth.

"I can still do it Minato," his wife said reading his mind. Glowing chains emerged from her back, wrapping around the Tailed beast, immobilizing the Kyuubi and erecting a barrier.

Minato then explained his plan to seal half of Kyuubi in Naruto and the other half in Namiko. Kushina was, quite obviously, not at all sold on the idea. She did not want to put such a burden on her children. She was a Jinchuuriki, but she had already known, somewhat, what she was getting into. But her babies were not been given any choice in the matter. She also didn't want Minato to use the Jutsu that she knew he was planning. She was already aware that she didn't have much time left in the world with the Kyuubi extracted from her. But if Minato used that Jutsu, not only will her babies be left motherless, they will become orphans. And she absolutely loathed that idea.

But Minato was stubborn in his decision. He explained how they were a family of shinobis and as the Hokage, he was supposed to save the village just like he was supposed to save his children as their father.

"Kushina save your chakra. I will divide your chakra and put them in their seal so you can meet them for a short time and teach them to control the Kyuubi's chakra." He said.

"After what happened today, I'm certain of two things. One: that the masked man will bring catastrophe to the shinobi world and Two: that these two will be the ones to stop him." This more or less convinced Kushina that she was not going to win this argument. So she had to relent, albeit very reluctantly.

With that settled, he started going through some hand seals and summoned two ritual alters. Unfortunately, the Kyuubi saw this and knew what was going to happen. It obviously didn't want to be sealed again. The Kyuubi saw his chance when after placing both the babies on the alters, Minato went to check on Kushina. She had fallen down due to being weak after everything that she went through that day. Using Minato's absence, the Kyuubi tried to kill his would-be vessels.

Minato and Kushina, in a hasty effort to save their children, jumped in the way and stopped Kyuubi's claw just before it touched them. Sadly that in-turn resulted in them getting impaled on the fox's claws instead. Minato still went on and summoned Geratora, a toad with scroll-shaped belly and gave him the key to the seals.

"We are not going to see them for a while, so go ahead tell them what you want," Minato told his wife.

The dying mother tearfully looked at her preciouses, "Grow strong, both of you, even with your burden. Eat well, bathe every day and get your sleep. And be wary of the perverted sensei your father had, that Godfather of yours. And Naruto, protect your sister and look after her, you will be the eldest man in the family now. Find someone like me and your father both of you and don't get fixated on the first girl or boy you see and…and…Ohh I wanna tell you so much but….just stay safe and know that I love you both. Sorry, Minato I took your time." she told her children and their father.

"Naruto, Namiko, unlike your talkative mom…just…set it all," Minato told them before making a final hand seal.

"Eight Trigrams Seal"

And with a bright flash of light, the Kyuubi was gone, each baby getting half of its chakra sealed into them. What remained was Minato and Kushina lying on the ground and two babies on the alters, crying as if they were aware of everything that transpired.

The barrier that was preventing anyone to get close finally went down and the Third Hokage rushed towards the family with two other shinobis behind him. After everything that happened and witnessing everything that transpired inside the barrier, he was really shocked and surprised when Kushina got up again.

"Lord Third, m...my son Naruto has Kyuubi's Yang half of the Chakra and my daughter Namiko has its Yin Half. Please take care of them." Kushina requested from the Old Hokage. Then looking at her two precious gifts, who were still crying, for the last time she continued, "Ssshhh my babies, it's okay, mommy is just going to sleep. I love you..." And with the last breath, she fell.

The old Hokage couldn't believe it. On one same day, the Fourth Hokage and his wife died, sacrificing not only themselves but their newly born children for the sake of the village.

He looked at the twins, who had stopped crying pacified by their mother, and told the shinobi to take them and bring them to his office.

The coming days were not looking good. He just knew it.

The Professor wasn't wrong about that at all.

OMAKE 1

A six-year-old Itachi Uchiha was running around with his three months old brother, Sasuke, during the whole chaos that was the Kyuubi attack. He was sitting in the porch of the house with his brother while his parents were at a clan meeting when suddenly the Kyuubi appeared in a puff of smoke. Because of Kyuubi's closeness to the Uchiha clan compound, Itachi had to leave his house and had found himself running through some alleyways. He spotted his friend, Izumi Uchiha, and told her to join.

Once he thought he was far away from the Kyuubi's reach he stopped. He noticed the nameplate of the house he was standing in front of.

"Haruno." He read it offhandedly.

"Um…Did you say something, Itachi-kun?" Izumi asked him.

Just as Itachi was about to answer, he saw the Kyuubi making some kind of ball out of thin air. Before he could confirm what it was, the Kyuubi fired it. Unfortunately for him, it fired the ball in their direction. He could see the destruction the ball was causing in its path, but could not do anything. Both Izumi and Itachi watched the ball approaching them with rising dread.

Haruno residence

In the house behind the three Uchihas, Kizashi and Mebuki Haruno along with their newborn daughter Sakura were sitting huddled in a corner. Both of them could hear the sound of destruction coming closer, but the window, being on the side opposite to the one where Kyuubi was, didn't show anything. So they were reduced to only listening on whatever was going on outside. This kept them from realizing their impending doom.

In a flash of light, for the Uchihas and Harunos, everything ended. Right after going through the Uchihas and the Haruno residence the Tailed Beast Ball travelled upwards towards the waiting Space-Time net the Fourth Hokage had created.

This was the early end of the incarnation of Indra.

Authors Notes:

So, that was the first chapter. Do tell how did you think it was? The chapter may seem rushed, that is because most of it was exactly like cannon with very slight changes. The change starts with the second chapter.

The omake will make it seem I'm a Sasuke and Sakura hater. I am somewhat. What I truly hate is how the show is named Naruto but is completely based on Sharingan and Uchihas. Seriously the Sharingan is overpowered. So yeah, there will be omakes in many chapters showing Sasuke, Sakura and few others (as collaterals) dying various ways. Don't like it, please skip it.

That's all. Till next chapter.
