Chapter 1: Life and Death

Minato was having a bad day and it wasn't supposed to be like this. Today was a day of celebration. Today was the day his son was born, and he was supposed to celebrate his life with his wife, and the rest of his family. But fate can sometimes be a cruel mistress. A strange man wearing an orange mask attacked Minato and Kushina shortly after Naruto was born, he held Naruto before Minato could and that enraged him greatly.

The man had tried to kill Naruto and Minato was able to save him, but this is what the man wanted. The mysterious man had kidnapped his wife and unleashed her tailed beast being the Nine-Tails Fox. The monster fox attacked the village and now it was up to Minato to save it. He had to for he was the leader of the village. He was the Yellow Flash and The Fourth Hokage.

"Naruto, I have to leave. Daddy, has a job to do." Minato told his infant son sweetly as he rubbed a finger on his cheek. Minato soon flashed away to his wife's location, he knew that the former leader of the village would lead the shinobi. It was up to him now to stop this man and he will for he is Minato Namikaze.

Elsewhere

A man with spiky black hair was looking up at the night sky. The man was wearing a black sleeveless shirt, with black shinobi pants, black sandals, and had a black scythe strapped to his back. The scythe was a plain, sleek black staff with a cross on the top. It had a black blade that arches away from the ends of the left side of the cross in a curve.

The man had tattoos on his arms with black feathers, on his right shoulder a kanji symbol for moon was tattooed, on the left shoulder the kanji symbol for reaper was there, and he had a pure white mask hanging from his waist. The man was tall roughly 6'0, he was medium build, and he had ocean blue eyes. The man was walking down a dirt road when he heard a voice.

"What's wrong?" A sweet female voice came and the man turned towards it. The woman had long black hair that matched the man's. Her hair was wrapped in a long ponytail, reaching all the way down to her legs with two strands sticking out from the top and sloping backward, with an orange ribbon keeping it in place.

She was wearing a white kimono, the top was a white haori with red accents, a red hakama and a pair of sandals with white socks while the bottom was red. The woman had violet eyes and a massive bust that would make all men turn her way all women jealous.

"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling. We need to get back home. ASAP." The man's voice was smooth, elegant, and soft. After saying the sentence the man took off running along with the woman. 'Minato, please be alright.' The man thought as he and the woman began to run to Konoha.

Two Days Later

Both the man and the woman arrived at the gates of Konoha with widened eyes. "W-Wh-What happened here?" The woman asked aloud with a frightening tone, her hand was covering her mouth as she couldn't believe it. The man was no better, his hands tighten making fists. When they came back they hoped to see that their worry was for nothing, but the nightmare was true. What lied in front of them was their home, but in ruins.

Buildings were destroyed, trees were uprooted, and there was a smell of death in the air. The man stared up at the Hokage mountain, specifically the face of the Fourth Hokage. "Do you think-"

"Come on!" The man screamed as he ran into the village, he had to make sure that this feeling in his gut was wrong. He wanted this feeling to be wrong. He prayed that it was wrong.

Hospital

Hiruzen Sarutobi, the man that has fought in two Great Ninja wars, a man that has lived through all three of them, a man that is called a Professor by his allies and enemies alike. One might even say that he is the God of Shinobi. The man was trained by the two first Hokage's. They passed their title to him when their time came to an end. He inherited their will and just like his predecessors, he passed the title onto a man that had inherited his will.

Hiruzen has been around for a long time, too long if you ask some. He has seen it all and done it all, but today was something that he never thought he had to do. After discussion with Konoha's council, Hiruzen has decided to take up the mantle of Hokage again. The battle with Kyuubi was won, but it was bitter sweet.

The Leaf had sustained great damages. Many shinobi were killed, many children became orphans, widows were made, and worst of all a young man and woman had given their lives to defeat the beast. A young family with so much to live for had died sealing the Kyuubi into their now orphaned son. Naruto was the name that Kushina told him before she left this earth forever.

Hiruzen sighed as he was in the morgue looking at bodies of Minato and Kushina. The bodies were covered with a white blanket, but the large gaping wounds were still there. It covered the blanket with blood.

"Rest peacefully." Hiruzen said sadly as he left the bodies, the man was heading out the room. As he was walking out he put a hand on the shoulder of another man who had long spiky white hair. This man face was dead, almost like he had lost his world.

"Jiraiya-kun, come. We have work to do. Naruto must be taken care of." Hiruzen said as man nodded his head. Hiruzen and Jiraiya walked through the halls when they heard a yell.

"Hiruzen! Jiraiya!" Both men turned to the sound and widen their eyes when they saw the man there. The man looked exactly like Minato only with black hair instead of the blonde. They knew exactly who he was from his hair color and the weapon on his back.

"Arashi…" Jiraiya said as he went over to hugged the man. Arashi Namikaze, the elder twin brother of Minato Namikaze, and the Black Reaper of Konoha. Arashi was Minato's twin, but the two could not be more different. Both shared the same looks, but personalities was one thing that was not shared.

Minato was a fun person to be around, he loved everyone, and he had a way of touching people for the better. Arashi on the other hand was a distant person, he was often cold to everyone that wasn't his wife, sister-law, brother, or people that he respected.

Arashi was hugging Jiraiya, he was glad that he was safe. He feared the worst when he saw the damages. He saw Hiruzen wearing the Hokage robes and he took a deep breath. He began to piece together why the old man would be wearing the robes, but he had asked the question even if he didn't want to hear it.

"My brother, is...is he gone." Arashi asked as he swallowed a lump in his throat. Arashi asked the question aloud, he didn't care who answered it. All he was hoping for that the answer was wrong, but the faces of Jiraiya and Hiruzen told the story.

Arashi fell to his knees as he began to cry, his wife let down tears as well since she also lost her family. Arashi hated crying, not because it makes you look weak, but because it's pointless. The tears don't do anything for anyone. They just hit the ground and make you think about the what if's. The possibilities if things had been different. If you would have stayed, that maybe you could have prevented this. That maybe your brother and his family would still be here.

'Family.' Arashi widen his eyes at the thought. "Kushina, Naruto, what about them!?" Arashi screamed at the men.

"Kushina-kun...is gone as well, but Naruto is alive. Follow us, we were heading to him now." Hiruzen said and Arashi and his wife was saddened to hear that Kushina was gone, but they were relieved to know that Naruto survived. A piece of them both had survived.

Hiruzen, Jiraiya, Arashi, and his wife who was holding her husband's hand were all walking down the hallway. They were getting looks, more so Arashi than anyone else. The man was a spitting image of his younger brother. Soon all four of them arrived to a room where in the center laid a crib with a baby in it. The crib was being guarded by a teen in a anbu mask and this the teen had silver hair that seemed to defy gravity.

When the doors opened the anbu teen widened his eyes when he saw the person that was there. "Arashi-sensei," The teen said and Arashi recognized the voice.

"Kakashi, I'm glad that you're alive as well." Arashi put hand on the boy's shoulder, he knows that he is feeling pain as well. His brother was like a father to him, Minato had helped Kakashi through that dark time and Arashi had trained the boy to be the anbu warrior that he is now. Arashi saw the crib and his throat became dry.

"Is this him." Kakashi nodded his head while Arashi walked over to the crib. His heart clenched when he saw the infant. The child looked so much like his brother, from the blonde hair down to the blue eyes. The only thing that Minato didn't have was the whisker marks and Arashi knew where they came from.

"Oh, he's so beautiful." Arashi heard his wife say as she came up behind him to see Naruto. Tears came down her eyes as she looked at the baby, wishing that the parents were here to see him.

"Naruto," Arashi said as he placed a finger on the infant's cheek, he gently rubbed his finger on it.

"Naruto, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you will never get to see your parents. Your mother and father would have loved to meet you." Arashi sobbed as more tears began to come out, everyone else gave him silence.

The village may have lost a leader, but a man had lost his little brother. Hiruzen wanted to give Arashi and his wife time to mourn for the child's lost, but there was something that needed to be addressed.

"Arashi-kun, Minato fought the Kyuubi. I don't know what he did, but I know for certain that-"

"He sealed the Kyuubi into Naruto. Minato knew that he couldn't kill a tailed beast, no matter how powerful he was that was impossible task. He had no choice but to seal the demon inside of someone and it had to be someone that he trusted, and that person is his own son." Arashi summed up everything Hiruzen was going to say.

"Yes, but there is one problem. We don't know what sealing he used?" Jiraiya now spoke and Arashi already knew the answer.

"I know which one. It's a forbidden one only known to both Namikaze and Uzumaki clans. You idiot…" Arashi cursed as he felt more tears come. His loving wife put a hand on his shoulder to calm him.

"The jutsu that he used was the Reaper Death Seal. Minato forfeited his life to stop the Kyuubi. His soul now belongs to the Reaper." Arashi said as everyone in the room widen their eyes. There was a tense silence now as no one spoke.

"What now?" Kakashi asked ending the deathly silence. Hiruzen sighed as he told everyone his plan.

"Jiraiya, I want you to use your spy network to cover Konoha's destruction. News about the attack will surely spread to other nations and they will think that there is opportunity for an attack. We survived one attack, but I'm not sure if we'll be able to survive another." Jiraiya nodded his as Hiruzen looked to Arashi who was still looking at Naruto.

"Arashi, I didn't know where you were, but I'm glad you are back. Naruto needs a family and I know that you and your wife are the child's godparents. Will you take Naruto in?" Hiruzen asked and Arashi wife spoke to the elderly kage.

"Hokage-sama, Arashi and I will take Naruto in. We can't fill the void that Minato and Kushina left, but we will give him a home and a family." Arashi heard his wife's words and held her hand. Hiruzen also smiled when he heard the words, Naruto would still get the family that he deserved.

"Thank you, Akeno-kun." The beautiful woman named Akeno nodded her head as she turned back to her husband.

"We always wanted to have a family of our own. I couldn't give that you, but maybe with Naruto we can still be one." Akeno said sadly as she one day wanted to have her children of her own, but an injury in the last great war prevented that from happening. Now Arashi and her would have the chance to be parents with Naruto. They would get a son and Naruto would get a family, both sides would be happy.

"Arashi, there is one problem. The council knows that Naruto has the Kyuubi inside of him, but some of them believe that he is the demon itself. They refuse to believe that Naruto is Minato's son." The room grew cold after that and everyone felt air leave their body. Arashi who was still holding his Akeno's hand began to shake as he turned to look at the Hokage.

"What!?" Arashi whispered dangerously and Hiruzen swallowed a lump in his throat.

"Their are some members on the council believe that Naruto is the demon itself and they think by killing the boy, they would kill the demon. There are some that don't support, but-"

"Call a council meeting." Arashi ordered coldly, he looked too Akeno to speak to her next.

"Will you watch him? Akeno gently smiled at him.

"Of course, he's going to be my son soon. I will watch him with my life." Arashi looked back at Naruto smiled. Arashi then kissed his wife and left with Hiruzen for a council meeting.

"Kakashi, anyone that comes through the door you kill them. Whether they be shinobi, civilian, or anbu, no one but my personal doctor is allowed in here. Understood." Kakashi nodded his head, he would protect his sensei son.

"Jiraiya, Arashi, let us leave." The three men left for a council meeting leaving. There were a few moments of silence before Akeno looked at Kakashi.

"So Kakashi-kun, did you find a girlfriend yet?" Kakashi turned his head to the side that the woman could not see his blush which should be impossible since he wears a mask 24/7, but Akeno always knew when he blushed.

Council Chambers

All the council members were in the room, the shinobi council which consisted of the clan heads were on the left, and the civilian council were on the right. Hiruzen had his two advisors on his left and right.

The clan heads consisted of Inoichi head of the Yamanaka, Tsume head of the Inuzuka, Hiashi head of the Hyuuga, Fugaku head of the Uchiha, Shikaku head of the Nara, Shibi head of the Aburame, and Chouza head of the Akimichi.

"Hokage-sama, why did you summon us?" A civilian asked and Hiruzen took a smoke from his pipe. He won't be saying much in this meeting.

"Minato's brother has returned." Everyone widen their eyes, including the Hokage's advisors. They all knew about Arashi, he was the Black Reaper of Konoha.

A man that made his name famous in the last great war where he and his brother slaughtered over a thousand Iwa shinobi. On that day Minato became the Yellow Flash and Arashi became the Black Reaper. All ninja villages knew of brothers, there was not one that didn't.

The council wondered why he would return, Minato had told them that Arashi had left the village with his wife years ago. Some thought that he was here to take the Hokage hat from the Hiruzen and some thought that he was here to kill the demon that killed their beloved hero. Both sides were wrong when they felt a cold, powerful, and deadly pressure press down on them.

The civilians felt the pressure and saw their deaths be replayed in their minds. Some passed out with foam coming out of their mouths, others collapsed on their desk, and some wet themselves. The shinobi side was no better as they felt the power and deadly KI. Each member of the shinobi was able to stay consciousness, but that didn't mean they didn't suffer from the power.

Most of them were collapsed onto the desk, while others were struggling to breath. They were all trained ninja's, they had all fought in wars, but none of them felt power like this. The Hokage bit his pipe as he tried not to be affected by the pressure, but everyone that was conscious saw that even the Professor was struggling.

"Ara-Arashi, enough!" Hiruzen yelled and the pressure began to die, but only a little. The clan heads were now gasping for air and trying to get air into their lungs. The civilians were now starting to wake, and those that were awake woke up those that passed out.

Shikaku leaned back into his seat with a hand over his chest to calm his heart. The man felt like he was dying over and over again. His eyes were closed as he took long deep breaths to regain air, but when he opened his eyes widened when he saw that hanging above the ceiling was none of then the Black Reaper himself. Arashi Namikaze was hanging upside down with his black scythe in hands and his eyes glaring at all those that noticed him.

"Good evening, everyone." Arashi stated in a cold emotionless tone and it made everyone swallow a lump in their throats. "Hokage-sama speaks the truth, I have returned and I'm am not leaving anytime soon." Arashi dropped down from the ceiling and put his scythe on his shoulder.

The Black Reaper looked at all the shinobi and then the civillains. "It has come to my attention that there are some that doubt my brother's skill." Arashi started has people began to sweat, his presence was unreal, it felt unnatural.

"My brother could not defeat the Kyuubi, so he sealed it into his legacy. Into my nephew and now my adopted son, Naruto Namikaze. Naruto is not the demon, he is an infant that just lost his own parents before he even got to know their names and most of you want to kill him. Is this the great village my brother and I swore to protect?" Many winced at that including the Hokage himself, this is not the village his sensei's died for.

"I will tell all of you this once, so spread the word to the rest of the village. Anyone whether they be shinobi, civillain, anbu, or even a council member. If any of them come to my home to hurt Naruto, they will die." Everyone's eyes got big at that and they became outraged. One brave civilian or foolish depending on who you ask stood up and challenged Arashi.

"This is unacceptable! The demon must die! Yondaime-sama gave us a chance let-" The man didn't finish as the reaper put his black sytche into his left shoulder and pulled him down. The idiot civilian body was pressed down onto the desk with the blade logged deeply into his shoulder.

The shinobi gulped, they didn't even see Arashi move. People say that Minato was the fastest among the two, but that didn't mean that Arashi was slow. The man was not a flash, but he was fast.

"I wouldn't call my son a demon in front of me or my wife. I tend to give quick deaths, but she on the other hand loves give slow and painful deaths." Everyone became pale at that, Arashi's wife was as feared as Kushina. The man whimpered as Arashi drove the scythe deeper into his skin making more blood poured out of the opened wound.

"I won't kill you, but I will leave you a reminder." The man screamed as Arashi pulled the scythe back and cut his left shoulder, leaving the man with one arm. The man howled in pain as he held his left arm that he was separated from him. Arashi put the scythe back on his shoulder and began to head to the door.

"As I said earlier, all who try to harm Naruto will die. Tell everyone in the village. Tell them that if harms comes to my son then my wife and I will kill them. Tell them that if they step onto the grounds of my family's compound they forfeit their lives. Tell them that if they come they will see... the reaper." Arashi said darkly as he left the council room, leaving everyone fearful of what they just saw.

"Well, you heard the man. Anyone that dares bring harm upon young Naruto-kun is a dead man." Hiruzen said as he left the room as well.

"Oh, you might want to get that check it out as well." Jiraiya spoke for the first time and he was speaking with a man who had lost his arm. He soon left the room and followed his master.

With Arashi

Arashi had left the council and shunshin to the hospital, he began to make his way to the room that his family was in. He was going to get his wife and Naruto and take them home.

Arashi arrived at the room after a few minutes and opened the door. When he opened it he saw Kakashi leaning on the wall and his wife holding Naruto. Arashi rarely smiled, but he did when he saw Akeno holding Naruto like her own son.

'Kushina-nee, don't worry. Akeno and I will raise and protect Naruto. We will make sure that he is safe and loved. Minato-nii , you are a stupid and reckless fool, but I was always proud of you. I was proud to fight beside you. I was proud to see you get you married. I was proud when I found out that you were having son, but most importantly. I was proud when you fulfilled your dream and became Hokage. I never told you that, but I hope you know...knew that.' Arashi thought with a sad smile as he remembered the times him and Minato shared together.

"Akeno," Akeno turned her to see that Arashi had returned from the council meeting. "It's time that we leave." Akeno nodded her head and began to wrapped Naruto in a blanket while her husband spoke to Kakashi.

"Kakashi, thank you for looking after Naruto for so long. I am truly grateful." Kakashi bowed to his old sensei. Arashi taught Kakashi much while they both were in the anbu, Arashi helped shape Kakashi into the legendary anbu warrior that he was now.

"Of course Arashi-sensei, I would do anything for the both of you. Whatever you need just ask." Arashi gave a small smile, Minato had done well with the boy.

"Arashi-kun, we're ready." Akeno spoke as she held the sleeping Naruto in her hands. Arashi and his family then left the hospital as they made their way to the Namikaze compound.

As they were walking through the village, the husband and wife were getting looks and they were not joyful looks. They were getting looks of hate. Arashi knew that they weren't going to try anything, if they did they would be killed. He was certain that the news about his warning had become too spread.

"It seems that you had an interesting council meeting." Akeno spoke with a knowing smirk and Arashi rolled his eyes.

"I gave them a warning. A warning that they should heed."

"Oh my, and what warning was that?" Akeno already knew, but she wanted to hear it from his voice.

"That if they try to hurt Naruto, they will die. Simple as that." Akeno laughed as she rocked Naruto.

"I do hope they heed it then. It would be a shame if the the village numbers decrease." Akeno said the sentence loud enough for everyone to hear and they paled.

"Yes, it would be a shame." Arashi said as the family continued to walk the compound.

After a while they arrived when they saw gates entrance. The Namikaze's traveled a few miles passing a forest area before they saw the gates. The compound wasn't far from the village such as Uchiha's, but it was far enough where they could have their privacy.

The gates were wooden and had the clan symbol engraved on them. The clan symbol was two scythes that were pointed downwards and they were connected to each other, underneath the scythes was a curved line. Akeno and Arashi raised eyebrows when they saw that in the center was a red spiral circle.

"I like it like that." Akeno said with a smile as she knew that the red spiral circle was for the Uzumaki clan and it was for Kushina. Arashi hmmed, making Akeno shake her head.

Arashi opened the gates and the family walked into the large compound. The compound was as large as the Hyuga's, it was big enough that brothers lived their with there own wives. The family headed in the house, as they walked through they saw that not much has changed since the last time they were here.

They had a dojo for training, a large open area with a garden, a small pond with koi fish, a kitchen with a dinner table not far from it, a living only thing that was different was the baby room that they saw, the room was powder blue with a crib in the center. Akeno had looked at Naruto to ee that he was still asleep. The raven haired woman put him in his crib so that he could continue to sleep.

Akeno had then left and found Arashi in the living room where he was looking at a portrait of Minato and Kushina with happy smiles on their faces. She went up to him and grabbed his hand, she then turned his head and kissed him.

"I'm here for you." Akeno told him as she knew how Namikaze men were. They would try to put the world on their shoulders and not let anyone help them.

"I know." Arashi simply said as he went back to looking at the portrait. It was still felt unnatural to him, he's seen death.

He knows that it will eventually come to them all, but he never thought that it would take Minato from him so quickly. He always believed that Minato would be the one to outlive him, not the other way around, but his death came and now he must continue on. He must raise Naruto as his father and he will do that.

"You go rest, I'll be fine." Arashi said as he looked into Anko tired eyes. The woman nodded her head and went to the room to sleep while Arashi went outside.

Arashi sighed as he got there, the compound was safe from the attack, but it was going to be red with blood by tonight. There was going to be someone stupid, someone that was going to try be a hero and kill Naruto.

*Knock Knock* Arashi heard a knock from the gate, he went to open it and when he did he saw a brown haired woman with red fang marks on her cheeks. This woman was none other than Tsume Inuzuka, the head matriarch of the Inuzuka clan.

"Tsume, this a surprise." Arashi said honestly because he didn't expect guess so soon. Tsume gave a feral smile as she allowed herself in making Arashi sweat drop.

"Can we talk?" Arashi nodded his head and led her to the living room where they could speak. Tsume took a seat on the couch while Arashi had taken a seat on the chair, in front of the two was a coffee table.

"What is it that you want to talk about?" Arashi asked and Tsume got serious.

"I want you to know that I had no intention of ever hurting Naruto. Kushina was my best friend and I knew that she had the Kyuubi inside her. I know the difference between the shurkin and the scroll." Arashi nodded his head, he already knew this. Tsume was one of the very few people that were at his brother's wedding.

"What about the rest of the council?" Tsume sighed as she spoke again.

"Shikaku will tell his clansmen to stay back, Chouza will do same as well as Inoichi. Shibi will wait for the facts, but you won't have nothing to worry about him. His clan knows better than anyone what it's like to be outcasted for being different. As for Fugaku and Hiashi, well I can't speak for them. The civilians will try something and then there's the rest shinobi that aren't part of the major clans. They will try something, but I'm pretty sure that you can handle them." Arashi 'hmmed' as Tsume finished speaking.

"Is that it?"

"I also came here to stay that I'm going to miss them. Minato was a great guy and my first crush, but I knew he had eyes for Kushina. Me and her used to compete to see who would get a date first. She saved my life more times than I could count and she even introduce me to my husband."

"How is he?" Arashi asked and Tsume sighed once again.

"Cancer's a bitch. The big idiot wanted to go out and fight when the Kyuubi came knowing full that he couldn't. The heart of an alpha." Arashi nodded his head solemnly.

"Anyway that's all I wanted to say. If you ever need anything you know who to call." Tsume said as she got up to leave. Arashi walked her out and then headed back to the house, the elder brother of Minato soon sat down and mediated.

Hours Later

Arashi meditated as time passed, when he opened his eyes the sun had gone down and the moon had risen. The man got up and stretched his arms, he then walked Naruto's room to check on him. When he got there he saw that he wasn't there. Arashi didn't panic as since he heard Akeno voice from a room across from Naruto's. It was Minato and Kushina's room, they had put it there to be close to Naruto.

When Arashi opened the door he saw Akeno playing with the infant. She was playing with a rattle and making a cute baby noises. Naruto seemed to like it since he was making baby noises, making Akeno smile some more.

"Who's a cute baby? Who's a cute baby? Yes, you are. Yes, you are."

"Akeno, it's late. We should take him to bed." Arashi told her making her pout that she had to stop playing with the baby.

"Awww...Can't I play with him a little longer." Arashi shook his head.

"I believe that we will have guests to entertain." Akeno still kept her smile, but it wasn't a loving smile. It was a smile that promised pain and suffering.

"Very well, but I still want to hold him for a little longer." Arashi told her that it was fine, the man left his wife and nephew/son and went to grab his scythe that was leaning on the wall.

"Why can't people listen?" Arashi asked aloud as he shunshin away.

Hokage Mansion

Hiruzen was doing the bane of all kage and that was paperwork. The man sighed as he looked at the massive piles of paperwork. 'What cruel god made this monster?' Hiruzen thought as he began to write more. He was hoping that something would happen...well something that wasn't a giant tailed beast destroying the village.

"Hokage-sama, there is a group of villagers holding torches outside the Namikaze compound!" Hiruzen heard the news and sighed. 'Ask and you shall you receive.'

"Damn it! Anbu!" Four masked individuals appeared in front of Hiruzen. "Go to the Namikaze compound, stop those idiots before Arashi makes more funerals." Hiruzen ordered his soldiers of war and they disappeared to the compound.

Four ninja's, three chunin and one jonin had jumped over the wall and were now in the Namikaze compound. They had one goal, to finish the job of the Hokage. They were going to kill the demon, they were going to kill Naruto. Unfortunately for them they were not going to see the demon, but the reaper instead.

"We're in." The jonin said as he looked at his followers. They were chunin who were like the jonin, they were greedy for revenge.

"Let's get this over with. I don't like being here." One chunin said as the others agreed with him.

"Yeah, this place gives me the creeps. I can't believe Yondaime-sama came from someplace like this." Another chunin said as he looked at a black crow that was picking at its feathers. The crow was one of many that was in the compound.

"Alright, can it! We know what he came here to do. So let's do it." The jonin said, but one of them had one last thing to say.

"What do we do if run into him?" A chunin asked fearfully. "I heard the stories about him. They say that his power rivaled his brother and that he is the human embodiment of the Shinigami." The chunin continued as he was shivering and it was not from the cold.

"Shut up!" The jonin said harshly. "They're just stories and nothing more. We will be enough and we don't need to kill him, we just need to stall him. One of us will go into the house to find the boy and kill him. This is a mission that we will not be coming back from, but we will be held as heroes for getting rid of the demon. That monster killed our parents, wives, and children. Tonight we avenge all those that were lost." The jonin said and the chunin nodded their head determined as they continued on into the compound.

Three of them were moving, all but one and it was the one that was scared. "Toshiro, what are you doing? Come on!" The jonin yelled, when he looked back he saw that Toshiro was still standing unmoving.

"Toshiro…" The jonin called his name again and this time he widened his eyes when he saw it. What he saw was a line of blood dripping down the head of Toshiro. The other two chunin widened their eyes in horror when Toshiro body split in half. Toshiro was split right down the middle as if he was cut with a blade. Organs, intestines, blood, it all came out as the two halves of Toshiro went to the ground.

"I warned you not to come here." The remaining ninja heard the voice and knew who it was. They looked around hoping to spot the reaper in the dark, but they saw nothing.

Soon a gust of wind came and the second chunin dropped to the ground. The jonin looked and saw that his head was gone.

"I'm disappointed, you would think that if you're going to come into the home of the reaper you would bring at least ten jonin." Arashi spoke again as the now two ninja were back behind each other. The last remaining chunin was freezing in his boots and while the jonin was scared but he didn't show it.

"I honestly don't want to kill you. I just want to spend my days with my wife and our son." Arashi spoke again and this time the last chunin felt something on him.

He squinted his eyes and widen them when he saw a wire on his right hand. The wires jerked meaning that someone had pulled them, the man fell to the ground and screamed as he was dragged into the darkness.

The jonin tried to grab him, but he stayed his hand. The man was gone and he knew this because the screams had stopped. "And then there was one." Arashi said mockinly and the man growled, but underneath he was smirking.

'That's what you think. There was one other and she will succeed where we have failed.' The jonin thought as the crow cawed.

"I know there's another in the house." Arashi was speaking not to the man, he was speaking to the crow. The jonin widen his eyes at that, he thought that the plan was successful.

Arashi saw the man's shocked face, he emerged from the darkness with his scythe in hand and with blood dripping down the black blade. When Arashi saw the jonin face he raised an eyebrow.

House

The lone female of the group had successfully snuck into the compound, now all she had too was kill the demon. The woman had lost her fiance to that monster, she swore vengeance upon it and today she will finally have it.

The girl dashed through the compound looking for Naruto, checking room after room and being as silent as she can be. She heard laughter coming from room not far and saw a light on.

The girl went over there and gently slid the door open, she saw a woman with black hair and smiled when she saw what was in her hand. In her hand was the monster that took everything away from her.

'My love, this is for you.' The woman thought as she slid the door opened and charged at the woman. She didn't care about her, all she cared about was successfully killing the demon.

The kunoichi thought that her success was in her hand, but she would soon find out the truth when her body was entrapped by wires. Her arms, legs, even neck was caught in the wire.

The woman couldn't believe it, how did this happen to her. "My, my, Naruto-kun, what do we have here?" The woman said as she continued to play with the infant.

"It seems that this little guest wants to play with us. Do you want to play the new guest or do you want go to sleep?" Akeno asked Naruto and the baby just made an incoherent sound making Akeno smile.

"Sleep it is." Akeno put Naruto in the crib and kissed his forehead.

"Good night, Naru-kun. Sweet dreams." Akeno now turned the woman with a sweet smile that terrified the woman. "I'm sorry for your loss, but no one will threaten my son. I usually make people suffer before they die, but the screams will wake the baby. So I will make this quick."

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why do you protect it? It killed my fiance! My love!" The woman screamed and Akeno hushed, her yells would wake up the sleeping baby. Akeno turned back to see that Naruto was still asleep. Akeno sighed and then went back to look at the woman with a sweet smile.

"I'm sorry about that, Naruto has some loud lunges. Now back to you, I am sorry for your loss. I don't know what I would do if I lost Arashi-kun. I can't bring him back, but I can do something for you."

"What?" The woman then widen her eyes when she felt her throat cut. She looked and saw that Akeno still had her same smile on her face and in her hand was a small scythe that was attached to chain.

"I can send you to join him." Akeno said as the woman struggled and soon died. The raven haired woman then turned back to Naruto to see that he was fine, there was no blood on him. The wife made a shadow clone to watch her son while she went to see Arashi.

Arashi

"You look familiar where have I seen you before." Arashi said scratching his head, he had killed the others, he might as well let this one tells his story before sending him off.

"We fought in the war together. My platon was under siege from Iwa and you came to save us. You single handedly defeated a three dozen shinobi." Arashi snapped his fingers at that.

"Now I remember. Thanks for that, that was going to bother me all night." After saying that Arashi dashed and cut the man's right leg off. The man screamed in pain as he held his leg, hoping for the bleeding to stop.

*Caw! Caw!* Arashi turned his head to see that the crow was on his shoulder now.

"Thank you, Dust." Arashi turned back to the man to speak for the final time before he killed him. "You're friend failed, you all failed. If you have any last-" Arashi stopped when he heard the gates be opened. He put his black scythe over his shoulder and sighed.

"Arashi-kun, the rioters have come onto the grounds. Shall I dispose of them?" Akeno had appeared before Arashi and he shook his head.

"No, we shall do it together. A shadow clone is with Naruto I presume." Akeno nodded her head and soon both husband and wife walked to the gates to deal with intruders.

The jonin saw them leave, he began to believe that he had a chance to survive. That was until he saw the crows surround him. The crows were everywhere, on the trees, on the grass, and on him. The crows were looking at him and soon they swarmed him.

The man screamed in pain as the birds pecked at him. They were picking at his skin, taking it apart piece by piece. Arashi and Akeno heard the screams as they were walking, soon they saw the light of the torches the villagers were carrying.

"It seems that they're mad." Akeno stated the obvious.

"Yeah, there are going to be more funerals after tonight." Akeno nodded at that.

"Hokage-sama, is not going to be happy." Akeno's husband shrugged his shoulders.

"He'll get over it, besides I did warn them what was going to happen. So if they want to see their loved ones again then I shall send them to join them in the after life." Arashi said darkly as both husband and wife were in front of the house and now looking at all the angry villagers.

The villagers were holding pitchforks, torches, knives, and a bunch of other crap that didn't worry the two. What did worry them was that they were making too much noise and that would wake Naruto up.

"I warned you all, now you will all die." Arashi said as he put both hands on his scythe and raised it. The blade of the weapon then began to glow purple. Arashi was about to take a swing before someone stopped them.

"Arashi-sama, stop!" An anbu had called out making him stop. Arashi knew the anbu that were there, he had trained most of them. The purple glow faded and Arashi put his scythe into the ground.

"Arashi-senpai, stop this. These people have broken the law and will be punished by Hokage-sama. He will see too it. Senpai and Lady Akeno, please just walk away. Be with Naruto, we will take it from here." The anbu was a female, she and everyone else was hoping that the two would go into the home. Arashi stared at her and then at the villagers, Akeno did the same and then looked towards her husband.

"No." Arashi told them as they widen their eyes. "I gave them all a warning that clearly stated that if anyone comes to my home with the intent to kill Naruto they will die. That they will find out why I am called the Black Reaper and now they will."

Everyone widen their eyes in horror when they saw purple energy gather around Arashi and what they saw next can only be described as something in a horror movie. What they saw was the reaper coming out.

Hiruzen had finally made it to the compound and he was concerned. The compound was deathly silent, there were no sound, as if there were no problem at all.

The kage was in front of the gates and before he walked in he saw his anbu that he had ordered to stop the rioters. All the anbu were walking out of the gate, but there were no villagers. Hiruzen began to fear what might have happened.

"What happened?" Hiruzen asked and none of them responded, all they did was walk away. One anbu however did have the courage to speak to the Hokage and tell him what happened.

"H-Hokage-sama," Hiruzen could fear in the man's voice making Hiruzen look even more concerned.

"We arrived to... to arrest the villagers, but Arashi-sama was about to kill them. We asked him and Akeno-sama to return to their home to be with Naruto. We... We thought they would do it, but Arashi-sama had said no and... and he-he…"

"He what?" Hiruzen asked as the anbu tried to recompose himself.

"He showed us the Black Reaper." All the man said as he walked away from the Hokage. Hiruzen looked back to the open gates and like a mind of it's own the gates began to close shutting the doors to the compound.

Arashi and Akeno were walking down the hallway, they were headed to the room across from Naruto. "My clone dispelled, Naruto is still asleep." Akeno said as they walked, Arashi nodded. He was glad that his son was able to get to sleep with the noise.

"Good, he needs his rest." Akeno nodded to that, she then told her husband something that he already knew, but she wanted to hear it from his mouth.

"They will try again. You know that, right."

"I know and the outcome will be the same. Now come we had a long couple of days, let us sleep." Arashi opened the door and both of them took off their clothes that were red with blood.

Soon Arashi and Akeno got in the bed and slept. They would honor their fallen family, they would protect and raise Naruto. They where will trials in future, but they will get through it. For they are a family, they are Namikaze, and he is Black Reaper.

To be continued

AN: Alright I hope you guys enjoy the first chapter of the story.

Now Arashi Namikaze is the twin brother of Minato only with black hair, I guess he could be called a OC. Also if you want to know what the scythe looks like it's the cover image.

Akeno Namikaze looks like Akeno from HSDXD and no this is not a crossover in anyway. I'm just borrowing that character.

Naruto will wield a scythe and I already decided on what it will be.

Expect Sasuke to be evil in this and maybe, but I'm not sure yet expect a evil Mikoto Uchiha. Don't see any of those.

Also there is no bashings I don't do those.
