Chapter – 1: Cursed

"Curse you Namikaze! I will have my revenge!" The disappearing form of the Kyūbi no Yōko shouted.

The Yondiame looked on in relief as the last of the demon was finally absorbed into his new born son. Then it hit him.

"Oh my god … what have I done?" The soon to be deceased Hokage lamented.

"You have done a noble deed Namikaze and ensured your homes peace for at least a little while" A dark spectral figure answered.

"No, you don't understand. They will kill him when they find out he has the demon sealed inside him" Minato says holding his baby boy as close to him as he could.

"Then make sure they don't find out" The figure replied.

"No … it's too late. I left orders to tell everyone and knowing the old man he won't wait until Naruto can protect himself … what have I done" The Hokage says.

"You don't seem to have much faith in these people you have given your life for. Why did you save them at the cost of your life and your son if this is how you think of them?" The figure asked confused.

"I don't know Shinigami-sama … I guess I was caught up in being the best and wanting everyone to love me and see me as the best protector this village has ever had" Minato admits.

"So you sentenced your son to a life of misery all because of your need to please people who will abuse him and try to end his existence?" The Shinigami asked feeling sad for the child.

Minato just nodded feeling even worse since he knew his wife had passed on nearly an hour ago leaving his son with no one to care for him. The Shinigami, the most feared being of any realm, the specter of death wanted to help this boy and suddenly a thought came to it.

"What if I said I could help your boy survive?" The dark specter asked the sobbing man. Minato's head snapped up and lowered Naruto to the ground as he felt his fingers grow numb and cold.

"How?" Minato asked desperate.

"I will give him a gift. A gift with a curse, it will protect him from harm but it will be involuntary. It will harm anyone or anything that tries to get close to him … even those who are only trying to help or show him love" The Shinigami informed the dying man.

"Will he be able to control it eventually? Can he break the curse?" Minato asked hoping against reason to help his son.

"Yes, as he grows and learns to use chakra he will be able to gain the ability to harness it but he still won't have complete control" The Shingami says.

Minato shivered as he began to feel cold, but asks "I thought you said the curse can be broken?"

"It can mortal, but only when he finds true love" The spectral figure replies.

"True love?" Minato asks incredulously and the Shinigami nods.

"That's a little … corny don't you think?" Minato asks.

"Maybe, but love in itself is a great power and little can stand in the way of it if it's true" the Shinigame says.

"Fine … but I doubt he'll find it in the village or anything close to it" Minato says worriedly.

"I assure you that he will find true love and have many children that will also bear his blessing and curse thou Naruto and his love won't be affected nor will their other children" The spectral figure informs the man.

"So it will be like a bloodline?" Minato asks.

"Yes" was the singular reply.

"Okay, but I'd like to leave a message for him" The Hokage says as his body turns transparent just as Sarutobi Hiruzen comes and takes Naruto away.

"That will be fine human" The Shinigami says.

"Can you take me over there to my … old office?" Minato asks pointing at the Hokage Tower.

The Shinigami nods and instantly they are inside of his office where a tired Hiruzen Sarutobi is looking at a sleeping baby Naruto with a letter in his hands. Minato recognized it as the letter he left with his instructions for Naruto's care after his death.

"I wish there was a way to at least change the letter so I could inform him of Naruto's gift. That might ensure his safety if they believe he can give them something" Minato says out loud as he walks behind the old Hokage.

"I can arrange that" The dark specter says.

He presses two fingers to the paper in the old man's hands. Suddenly the paper glows making Hiruzen drop it as new words started appearing moving and twisting on the page until they formed a message and then the glowing stopped leaving the original letter plus the new message. The old man picked up the letter and read nearly dropping the letter again.

The letter read 'Old man this is Minato, please take care of my son. The Shinigami himself blessed Naruto with a bloodline. What it does I don't know, but he said there was a curse to it so please be careful and make sure no one tries to harm him or something bad may happen. Again please take care of him and if he becomes a ninja allow him to read the Scroll of Sealing as I have left some things in a seal for him'.

Hiruzen read and then reread the message before looking over at the sleeping baby. 'I need to inform the council' Sarutobi thought.

He quickly walked out of the room towards council chambers. The two specters watched as the man quickly moved out of the room. Once he did Minato looked at the Shinigami.

"Umm excuse me Shinigami-sama, but what things will be left? I have nothing to give him except maybe knowledge of my two prize jutsu" Minato says.

If he could see his face Minato would have see a dark grin that could freeze all of hell over, but as it stood he was spared such a sight by the all consuming darkness that seemed to hide the face away under the hood it wore. Suddenly the Scroll of Sealing lifted up from its resting place and floated over until it was in front of the reaper. The Shinigami again placed two of it's bony fingers on the scroll as it glowed and at the bottom a block of splace appeared with 'For Naruto Uzamaki' in it.

"What's in it?" Minato asked curiously.

"I left a summons contract, a special weapon tied to his bloodline, and letters from both you and his mom using your thoughts and what I thought you might want to say to him as well as an explanation of his bloodline, the curse, and some powerful things he might like to learn" The Shinigami says.

Minato looks over at his slumbering child once more then smiles at the dark specter.

"Thank you Shinigami-sama, I can die in peace now" Minato says.

The Shinigami nods then places two fingers on Minato as both disappear. He would eat his soul later. The Shinigami had learned a happy soul always tasted the best and it rarely got any of those. He wanted to savor this one as who knew when he'd get another soul like this. It had been five millennia since the last one and it wasn't like he was going to run out of time any time soon.

What Minato didn't notice as he was observing the Sandiame was the Shinigame placing it's bony hand on Naruto as his skin turned a dark icy blue color and a light glow was coming off him that stopped as fast as it started. In his own realm the specter was smirking thinking of what he left behind. It was a disease more than a curse that originated from one of the torture rings in hell.

When in danger it would affect those that tried to harm the child or anyone the kid touched after words until the disease was sated. Naruto as the carrier was immune to the affects of the disease as would be his eventual lover and children, but for everyone else Naruto would literally be a walking plague.

It would create a lot of paperwork, but the volume of souls he was sure would be sent to him were worth it in his opinion and he had little care for what happened in the human world. There were other planets with humanoid life plentiful so the other gods shouldn't care. Especially since this world in particular had dismissed the gods thinking themselves to be gods.

Council Chambers

The Hokage walked into council chambers and found everyone even the clan heads looking at him. Taking a seat he looked at both enemy and friend alike before starting.

"I have interrupted this council meeting to inform you of the Yondiame's passing and what truly happened to the fox" Sarutobi started.

"Wait, what do you mean what happened to the fox?" Asked a newly appointed civilian council member.

"Yeah didn't the Yondiame kill it?" Questioned another new councilor.

Sarutobi sat idly for a moment trying to think of the best way to answer, but decided the band-aid approach was the best.

"No, he couldn't kill it … no one can as the fox is mostly just a collection of demonic chakra" The Sandiame says calmly.

The council was anything but calm as even the shinobi side had forgotten that so shakily one asked.

"T-t-then w-what happened to it?" Asked Inuzuka Tsume.

She was also a newly instated member of the council. Her husband had been the head of the clan for a little over five years, but he was one of a few clan heads that braved battle along side the Hokage. His bravery was rewarded by death, but it was the death of a warrior something their clan believed in greatly.

Of the shinobi council her clan the Inuzuka's, the Aburame's, the Kurama, and the Akimichi suffered the most during the attack. It was thought their clans' individual abilities would best help defeat the great beast, but that proved to be a grave mistake.

The Aburame's kikaichū couldn't even get within a few yards of the beast due to all the foul chakra it was expelling before they died. They would have bred any of the survivors to make their colonies stronger, but there were none. The Aburame's only lost a few clan members, but nearly all their hives had been destroyed during the battle. And without their hives the Aburame were useless as all of their jutsu and most of their abilities lay in their use of the kikaichū. It would be years before they recovered.

The Inuzuka were a battle hardened clan that relied mainly on taijutsu and techniques that were very destructive and powerful, but had to do it up close and make contact. That wasn't advisable with a Biju, but they fought anyway. Just like the Aburame they relied heavily on their animal partners and most of their jutsu and abilities utilized their connection with their nin-dogs. They lost their clan head a jōnin who led the Hunter squad and an ANBU captain. They also lost several strong members and a number of ninken.

The Kurama were experts in genjutsu and the thought was they would be able to affect the beast and maybe drive it off. That plan failed spectacularly as no matter what they tried the beast shrugged off their jutsu's with little trouble. They only lost a few members during the battle, but their loss came in the destruction of their clan compound as it got hit with a blast of Nine-tails chakra. Thankfully most of them had left the compound at that point, but a few clan elders were killed as they stubbornly refused to leave their homes.

The Akimichi lost the most during battle. The Akimichi clans' style relied heavily on brute strength, their ability to become giants, and using taijutsu or weapons. It was the weapon using Akimichi's that battled including their old clan head Chōkichi. Most were killed including Chōkichi. In his place his newphew Chōza sat as the new acting clan head.

The other clans especially the Hyūgas and Uchiha only sent out a few low ranking members of their clans giving excuses for not being able to take part in defending against the Kyūbi. The blow to them was mainly pride, but the disappearing act of both clans raised eyebrows. The Hyūgas excuse was valid sense everyone knew their eyes saw chakra so it was acceptable they would be vulnerable to the beast. The Uchiha though had no such claims and with the many ninjutsu the clan had copied and studied for well over a century their excuses were not favorably looked upon. A few began to wonder if maybe the clan had some part in the attack.

"The Yondiame only had one option to stop the fox's rampage and that was to seal the demon away in a baby" Sarutobi Hiruzen says in reply.

That didn't sit too well with a portion of the shinobi council headlined by Tsume, Chōza, and Hyūga Hiashi. Those three, a few other minor clan heads, and the civilians instantly started shouting for the infants death while the elders and other clan heads (namely Uchiha Fugaku) shouted for it to be turned into Konoha's greatest weapon. The Nara, Yamanaka, and Aburame abstained from voting for various reasons.

"Enough!" Hiruzen shouted. "The boy will not be harmed nor turned into a weapon and anyone who speaks of him being a jinchūriki to anyone who doesn't already know does so under the penalty of death" Hiruzen says strongly.

It was a bluff as he was the one to instill in the Yondiame that the needs of the village outweighed the needs of the one and wouldn't kill any of the villagers unless forced to even to protect a boy he swore to help, but they didn't need to know that. Many of those calling for the baby's death merely scoffed knowing the old man was too soft to carry out such a threat.

The Sandiame decided to announce Naruto's gift before things could get too out of hand. Of course he wouldn't find out until a little later that he was too late as shinobi who saw what the Yondiame did were already in the village telling people about their deceased leaders' great sacrifice and the demon's continued existence.

"This child will hopefully grow to love this village and become a shinobi. If his ancestors are anything to go by he could be a great one" Sarutobi starts.

This got many on the council curious as they wondered if it was from one of the clans, but realized that no one fitting that description was due to give birth any time soon.

"There is also the matter of his bloodline to discuss" The Sandiame says now getting everyone's interest even those who wanted the baby dead.

"Bloodline? Did it come from his parents?" asked a seemingly disabled man named Shimura Danzō.

Danzō was the most vocal about turning the baby jinchūriki into a weapon … his weapon. Although he would say it was all for Konoha.

"No, he is the first to have it as it was gifted to him by the Death God himself after the sealing" Hiruzen informs the council greatly shocking everyone and setting a few minds in gear.

"What will happen to the child?" Asked Danzō.

"Sadly both parents are dead so he will have to be placed in an orphanage and stay there until he's ready to live on his own" Sarutobi says.

"That's unacceptable … I demand that the child becomes a part of my clan so he can have a family to care for him" a pink haired woman screeched.

The Hokage looked at her and the others making similar claims now. He knew her game. The pink haired harpy had actively tried to seduce powerful men to raise her status. It was commonly speculated that that was how she got her seat on the council despite having a husband. Her family held little value in the village, but she had ingratiated herself into the good will of several male councilors and the young Yamanaka clan heads wife. She was just using this as a means to raise her family's status as were the other civilians and small clans. The most curious of the shouters was Fugaku who had just got through yelling for the boys head.

"He will not be up for adoption. It's unfortunate, but I cannot allow Naruto to be placed in a …" he paused looking at everyone "… less than desirable environment" Sarutobi finishes.

"He will stay at the orphanage and when the time is right he will be given an apartment and enter the academy … if when he is 15 he decides to join a clan through marriage that will be his decision" Sarutobi says.

He would have said more and the council would have complained more except he felt a large chakra spike in his office so he quickly shunshined away leaving the council to bitch about a certain newly reinstated old fool.

Hokage Tower, Hokage's Office

Meanwhile, as the council raged and debated over baby Naruto's status a group of villagers and shinobi had gathered to end the child before it would show it's true 'demon' colors and kill them all. A lone Jōnin crept towards the crib a kunai held away from his body and towards the sleeping form of the baby. The ANBU that stayed in the Hokage's office turned a blind eye hoping the demon would soon be dead like their comrades that perished without them against the fox.

The jōnin stood over the crib and raised his kunai ready to strike. He plunged the weapon down on the sleeping child as the group behind him and those hidden in the room watched. When the kunai was a mere inch from Naruto's body he shivered almost uncontrollably and his skin turned a dark icy blue as a strong wind erupted from his body pushing the jōnin back against the wall. Suddenly the man felt numb and he looked down only to discover the kunai and his hand were now blue and looked to be incased in ice. He instantly panicked and flailed around hitting his hand against the wall and it shattered along with the kunai and his hand leaving his arm to bleed all over the carpet.

The group seeing this screamed and ran off leaving the ANBU who were too shocked and scared to leave. A minute later the Hokage came running in after sensing the disturbance in his office. Looking around his furniture and papers were scattered about and there was a man clutching his bleeding arm that was … missing a hand.

"ANBU what happened here!" The old man questioned loudly.

Shaken out of their stupor by the yelling the ANBU knew they couldn't lie their way out of this so they decided to tell the truth.

"I-I d-don't know Sandiame-sama. A group of civilians and ninja came in here and tried to kill the demon and that jōnin tried to stab it with a kunai when all of a sudden the demon turned blue and a cold gale of wind seemed to come from him and froze the kunai and the jōnin's hand" The owl masked ANBU reported.

The old man checked on baby Naruto whom aside from shivering seemed normal and then at the still crying jōnin.

"ANBU take this man to the hospital and have a couple of guards placed outside his room. Then you will report to ANBU HQ for your new assignments" Hiruzen says.

"N-n-new assignments?" The jackal masked ANBU asked.

"Yes, you will no longer be my guards instead you will be stationed at the guard tower near our border with Kusa and by extension Iwa … indefinitely" The old man says making the group of ANBU pale.

Being sent on border patrol of that border was either insanely boring or insanely dangerous and usually both. Most people sent out there either came back slightly touched in the head like Maito Gai or they never came back at all. No one had lasted out there longer than a month and most cracked after two weeks if they survived that long. However, they grabbed the bloody jōnin and the pieces of his shattered hand and left the office without a fight knowing it could have been worse. After all indefinite meant they could be out there forever or be called back in a few days and the Sandiame was way too old and kind to keep them out there for too long … right?

Alone in his office with the baby Sarutobi now knew the baby was at least protected from those that would harm him. He was worried though that such a dangerous bloodline would grow out of control. On one hand the village gained a powerful new bloodline, which was always welcomed. On the other hand given the current attitude towards the boy and his tenant it maybe more curse than blessing.

The old man looked towards the baby sighed and said, "What am I going to do with you Naruto?"

Of course he received no reply from the once again sleeping baby. He would often find himself replaying said question over the years before his ultimate demise. For life in Konoha would never again be the same.

Hello again everyone. I hope you enjoyed the start of another new story of mine. This idea just has me really exited as Naruto will have a bloodline I at least don't think I've seen yet. Early warning this will be a super overpowered Naruto story and it'll be straight from the beginning. Godlike Naruto.

I've given Naruto not just the ability to use ice, but to actually control the weather ... like say turn a portion of the dessert into an ice rink. It's more environmental than elemental, but combines both concepts and acts like Gaara's sand protecting Naruto from harm, but also harming those he cares for.

He'll grow up not being able to control it so he'll be shunned like Gaara was. As for his love interest that has changed with this rewrite. Naruto will officially be with only one woman, but ... well you'll figure out.

This fic is inspired by another older story I read when I first started reading FanFiction so I hope you enjoy the idea and my way of writing it. Anyway 'til next time dear readers :)
