Sui: Yo. Here is the first chapter of a new story from us, inspired by Arashi's desire to do a fic where Minato survives and my slight obsession with a story where Naruto has siblings who have the Kyuubi's power in them and Naruto is unconciously neglected by his parents and their associate for his siblings.

Disclaimer: We don't own Naruto... T.T

Minato rushed into the delivery room, intent on using his own children to seal the beast ravaging the land just outside of Konoha.

"I'm sorry Kushina, but I can't ask someone else for their child if I'm not willing to give my own first." Was the last thing Kushina heard before she faded into unconsciousness.

"Are you sure this is safe, Minato?" Tsunade, who had returned specifically to deliver Kushina's triplets, asked.

"They will be fine... The seal I'm using will kill me, but at least they will have their mother and I'm sure the village will view them as hero's and treat the properly."

At the battle field.

"You should let one of us do this Minato; you have much more to live for." Sarutobi argued.

"No, I can't let you or Jiraiya-sensei sacrifice yourselves. It's my job as Hokage and I couldn't live with myself if I let you die for me."

With that, Minato jumped off the village walls, summoning Gamabunta as he fell.

"I need you to distract it just long enough for me to use my jutsu." he called to the giant frog.

"You better do it quickly then." Gamabunta said, charging the massive fox with his giant tanto drawn.

Minato began a sequence of seals as the Kyuubi dodged back, lashing out at the large frog and catching his left eye, leaving a wound that would scar.

'Hurry up kid; I can't stay here much longer!"

"Done!" Minato called out as he did the last seal.

Time seemed to slow down as a large figure came into Minato's view.

"What is the reason you called me here mortal" the ghastly figure in front of Minato said.

"I need you to take the Kyuubi's chakra and soul. Then, I will tear the chakra in two and seal each half in my daughters. Then, I need you to take the Kyuubi's soul and seal it in my son."

The Shinigami considered telling Minato that it could just send the Kyuubi to hell or some other dimension, or even do the entire job for him, but decided against it as he had already made his request.

"Very well mortal"

With that, the Shinigami pulled Kyuubi's soul and chakra out of its body, causing the chakra formed body to disintegrate, and held the chakra covered soul out to Minato. Minato reached forward, exhaustion starting to seep into his body, and took the Kyuubi's chakra, not noticing that he only managed to pull about half of it away from the soul, tore the chakra in two and sealed it in his daughters. The Shinigami then took the soul and sealed it, along with the remaining chakra, assuming that Minato had changed his mind and intended to leave some of the chakra with the soul, into the baby boy.

"It is time. Are you ready to leave?" The Shinigami asked the exhausted shinobi.

Flashes of Minato's life flashed before his eyes. He hesitated, "N-no, I don't want to leave yet." He said, ashamed that he had been prepared to accept death and was now too afraid to go.

"... Very well mortal. Do not summon me again or I will take it as you telling me you are prepared to leave this world."

"Wait! That's it? I'm not ready so you don't take me?"

"I am the Shinigami, boy. I am the incarnation of death itself. All life will come to me in the end, even yours. I have waited longer than one human lifetime for a soul, so I am able to wait the, to me, blink of an eye it will take for you to die." With that, the Shinigami faded away, leaving Minato and his three children on top of the giant wounded frog.

Minato smiled, before collapsing. The jutsu required to bring forth the Shinigami took out a lot of his chakra and the splitting and sealing of the Kyuubi's chakra drained the remainder.

Ninja rushed forward, seeing the defeat of the Kyuubi. The first to appear before the now out cold Yondaime would be the Sandaime, who grabbed the two girls.

Turning to a nearby ANBU, he said, calmly, "Take the boy, and follow me, this isn't a good place for children..."

The ninja grabbed the child, Naruto, and followed the Third as they rushed back to the village.

Medic-nins had arrived and hoisted the Fourth upon their shoulders, after ensuring that he was stable, before they too went toward the village.

~~Scene Change~~

Though the village was mostly destroyed, the citizens and the ninja cheered upon seeing that the fox was no more. Ninja from the battle field that weren't injured ran through the streets, clearing the way for the Sandaime with the two girls, and the other Ninja with Naruto as they made their way toward the Hospital.

Kushina had been transported to the hospital during the battle between Minato/Gamabunta and the Kyuubi, and it was clear the children needed to be nursed.

The medic-nins closed in toward the hospital as well, rushing to get the severely weakened Fourth to a room to help him recover from his chakra exhaustion.

~~Scene Change~~

5 days after the attack

Minato ordered the people to gather around the Hokage Monument. Why? People didn't know the answer to that just yet.

Minato stood upon a balcony in front of the Hokage monument, holding two of his children. His two beloved daughters, each one in a different hand.

"I present to you, the true saviors of Konoha!" He announced with pride. He held up the two infants in the air and showed the people of his village. "I couldn't have done it without them. Each one has half of the Kyuubi's power sealed away within them, the soul is sealed in a different place, never to get free or have access to it's power ever again. They are normal humans, like us, just with far more chakra and potential." he explained upon seeing the look on some of the council members faces when he spoke of the Kyuubi's power within them.

"They are and will be treated as normal people. Anyone I see trying to do otherwise will have to deal with me. Regardless of whom they may be." Minato continued in a cold voice.

Naruto cried in the crib in which he lay... hungry... and alone…
