Hey guys. I'm truly sorry for once again remaking this story due to the bullshit and messed up storyline. And also tons of uncredited dialogue with power scaling problem. I will try my best to explain all of it so the readers will understand.
Also this is my first time writing a fiction actually and still inexperienced with the writing style and dialogue. I'll try my best to improvise everyday of it especially the grammatical mistakes.
There will be a minor crossovers and the OC will be remain albeit different with the multiverse theme will be tone down. One of the major changes will be Senju Tobirama is alive and survived from Kinkaku and Ginkaku which will be explained.
Again readers, I'm truly sorry for the trouble. Please forgive me for my lame writing ;-;. I hope you enjoy this chapter.
I do not own Naruto or anything related to Naruto. It all owned by Kishimoto-sama. I only own the OCs.
The night of October tenth will be forever remember as the greatest tragedy by the villagers of Konoha. Unaware and unprepared for such event, the Great Nine Tailed Fox suddenly appeared in the middle of the village and attacked everyone and everything in its path, causing not only Konoha nearly destroy but also suffered massive casualties. Many Shinobis and Kunoichis sacrificed their lives to defeat the rampaging creature but to no avail. Even the Third Hokage too unable to defeat the Tailed-Beast.
" Huff... Huff... Dammit! Where's Minato! "
As Hiruzen was busy with his thoughts of Minato, he kept striking the Kyuubi with his staff as the Jōnins attacking the beast from every direction with Katon : Endan and Doton : Doryūdan, however, the Kyuubi replied by launching a powerful shockwave that thrown everyone even the Sandaime himself. Then, the Kyuubi saw an injured Jōnin who's laying on the ground and attempted to kill the shinobi by crushing him with its paw but,
" Suiton : Suiryūdan no Jutsu!! "
Kyuubi was pushed back by the Nidaime Hokage's jutsu, making it extremely anger and roared loudly at the unfazed Senju Tobirama.
" Sensei! "
Like Hiruzen, everyone were happy and grateful for the sudden arrival of Nidaime who gazed at the angry beast with stoic face. He then released a sigh and looked at Sandaime with a serious face that made the retired Kage to shiver in his fear.
" Saru why the hell is Kyuubi here and where's Minato? "
Tobirama's question was finally answered when Gamabunta appeared from sky and landed on Kyuubi's head, pinning the beast to the ground with Minato on top of Gamabunta's head. At the same time, Kyuubi was preparing its Bijūdama which Minato and the Kyuubi disappeared in a burst of smoke.
" There! " Tobirama looked at the direction that Hiruzen pointing and witnessed a huge explosion which caused him and his student to Shunshin to Minato's location. When they arrived they saw a barrier surrounding Minato with his four children ; Naruto, Menma, Mito and Natsumi, with Kushina binding Kyuubi with her Kongō Fūsa.
" Minato-kun! Please! Let me die with the Kyuubi! " said Kushina to Minato who's performing the hand seals of Shiki Fūjin, much to Kushina, Tobirama and Hiruzen's horror. " MINATO-KUN! STOP!! PLEASE STOP!! YOU'RE GOING TO DIE IF YOU USE THAT JUTSU!! "
" I'm sorry Kushi-chan but this is the only way. I afraid the masked woman will come back and take Kyuubi just like she predicted. " said Minato as he finished the hand seals and stared at Tobirama and Hiruzen with a sad smile. " Tobirama-sama, Hiruzen-sama, please take care of my family. "
" A soul for a task. State your wish, mortal. " said Shinigami as he focused his attention at the sleeping Naruto.
" Sensei, what should we do? " asked the Third Hokage to Tobirama who's staring at the Shinigami.
" We can't do anything but to watch Minato's final moment. " said Tobirama with a somber tone as he stared at the man that he respected who's going to sacrifice himself.
" Shinigami-sama! I beg you please seal the Kyuubi into three of my four children! The soul for Menma, Yang chakra for Mito and Ying chakra for Natsumi! " the Shinigami only silent as he removed his knife and sealed the Kyuubi's soul, Yang and Ying chakra into Menma, Mito and Natsumi respectively.
" Use the remaining of your time to do whatever you want mortal. " Minato nodded his head as the three ninjas went to the soon-to-be-dead Minato who's playing with his children.
" Minato.. "
" Please don't worry about me Sandaime-sama. I'll be fine. " Minato grinned at Hiruzen who shedded a single tear and watched Kushina hugging the Yellow Flash while crying. " After all, my children will be safe especially with both of you. "
" Why you only sealed Kyuubi into three of your children? " said Tobirama to Minato who's handing over the sleeping Naruto to the retired Kage.
" I want one of my children to free from the Shinobi life. I want Naruto to have the life that everyone doesn't have ; freedom and peace. Besides, the masked woman that attacked me earlier told me that one day Kyuubi and Naruto will belong to her. "
Both retired Kage stunned what they heard and stared at each other. Hiruzen then gave the crying Mito to Kushina who hugged the baby and kissed her forehead while Minato is playing with Menma and Natsumi.
As for Shinigami who witnessed the scene, he was about to take Minato's soul when a disembodied male voice spoke to him.
" Shinigami, can you hear me? "
' Yoriichi-sama!! What can I do for you!?'
" I need you to spare Namikaze Minato's life. He will be needed when the two children fighting against each other for the sake of tomorrow. " Shinigami nodded his head but confused why the voice wants him to spare Minato's life. " That child that was held by that Senju is one of the children. And as a replacement for sparring Namikaze's life, the child's life will be altered. "
' Altered into? '
" He will face countless of hardships and through those hardships, the Gods and Royal Kings will know whether he is the saviour or the destroyer. "
' As you wish Yoriichi-sama ' the voice thanked Shinigami as he placed his knife into his mouth back and gazed at Minato. " You're lucky mortal. Contacting me to perform a task will requires your soul but I spare your life to let you live happily with your family, however, I will take something from you that is precious to your family. Farewell mortal. "
The confused Minato was about to ask the Shinigami but he immediately passed out and fell to the ground just as a squad of Anbu with the Legendary Sannin arrived to the scene. The God of Death then gazed at the awakened Naruto and smiled for the first time when the baby smiles at the deity.
' Farewell Chosen Child. '
Timeskip : Two hours later
Location : Living Room, Namikaze-Uzumaki estate
" Minato! Are you sure you're okay? You don't feel anything wrong with you? SAY SOMETHING PLEASE! YOU HAVE BEEN SILENT FOR TWO HOURS!! PLEASE SAY SOMETHING! I PROMISE YOU I WILL GIVE YOU A FREE ICHA-OOF!! "
Both Tsunade and Kushina elbowed and jabbed Jiraiya's chest and abdomen respectively. Luckily their attack was not serious if not Jiraiya will suffer multiple broken ribs and ruptured internal organs.
" Minato-kun? Are you okay? Please say something. " Kushina stared at Minato's cerulean eyes as she grabbed his hand gently but firmly. " Minato-kun? "
" I'm fine. Thank you for worrying me but I can't stop thinking what Shinigami-sama said earlier. " Minato released a heavy sigh and stared at the sleeping peacefully Naruto. " And whatever he meant by taking something precious to our family.. I can't deny that it is connected to Naruto somehow. "
" Maybe you just overthinking and esides you're still tired from the sealing. Why don't you rest first? " Minato nodded his head at Tsunade and smiled at Kushina. " To think you survived using that Kinjutsu.. "
" What an amazing man you are Minato. " said Orochimaru to Minato as he staring at the sleeping Natsumi with a smile.
" So Minato, what're you going to do with Menma, Mito and Natsumi? "
Minato looked at Jiraiya and said, " Kushina and I will train the three of them when they are five. For Naruto however I want him to have a peaceful life and doesn't involve with any shinobi affairs. "
" That's a good idea. Majority of us wish we live that peaceful life but we never get the chance. " said Orochimaru in somber tone as everyone agreed. " I will like to make Natsumi as my apprentice one day. "
" I want to pass all my teachings to Menma! Don't worry! What I meant is the shinobi knowledge and those stuff! "
" You better make it sure Jiraiya or I personally cut you into pieces. " said Kushina as she producing a menacing aura that made Jiraiya shivered in fear and his behind Orochimaru.
" Well looks like Mito will be the next Slug Sannin huh? " Tsunade grinned madly and kissed Mito's cheek, much to the baby's happiness who's giggling.
As they talking about Menma, Mito and Natsumi's future, the sleeping Naruto suddenly opened his sapphirine eyes and stared at the ceiling with a curious face where it looks like he's staring at someone.
' Child, can you hear and see me? I am the one who spared your father's life in exchange of altering your life where you will face countless of hardships. Only through these hardships we will find out whether you're the destroyer or saviour. ' said the disembodied voice that spoke to Shinigami earlier to Naruto, causing the young baby to smile. ' You will forge a new path and a new world for everyone and you will grow into a warrior with the power to save or destroy. My child, beware of the seduction of the Calamity. I will always pray for you. I wish you luck and take care Naruto. We will meet one day. '
