Naruto, head still down eyes still shadowed, said in an even colder voice, 'The people you just killed weren't they your comrades' Orochimaru chuckled as he picked a man's head, 'Oh you mean these lot, Ku-ku, they were just tools to be used in the battlefield, in other words they were meant to die.'

Twelve years after Orochimaru was branded an S ranked criminal, the Sannin sat in the chair prepared for him under a well-shaded veranda. Sitting next to him was his old mentor, the Third Hokage. Below them, Gaara, the Jinchuuriki of Suna, was being pummeled by Itachi's brother, Uchiha Sasuke.
The snake-man, dressed as the fourth Kazekage, cleared his throat. 'I'm impressed.' He uttered in a deep voice. 'This Uchiha is actually able to penetrate my son's defenses.'
The Hokage chuckled. 'Yes. Talented mentors make for talented students. Konoha is full of talents. Their will of fire burn strong.'
Orochimaru resisted the urge to roll his eyes. The old man was clearly trying to impress him with Konoha's military might. Orochimaru refused to be impressed. What's your Will of Fire going to do for you when I have your village crushed under my feet? I already have your shinobi of strongest potential under my leash. Once I have Sasuke's body and his natural Sharingan, I will be unstoppable.
Not giving the Hokage even a hint to his thoughts, Orochimaru simply agreed. 'Yes, Konoha is indeed talented. I hope our villages can remain in good relations.'
The old man chuckled again. 'Yes. Konoha will ever be an ally of the Sand as long as Suna treats us in kind.'
The 'Kazekage' simply nodded. He couldn't wait to crush Konoha and gloat in victory to his former superior. How dare the old coot nominate Namikaze Minato over his own student.
Below, Gaara had shrouded himself in a sphere of sand. An eye spun high in the air atop the arena. Sasuke was being pushed to his limits, and his hold against the cursed seal was weakening.
Sasuke was angry and hungering for power. Some of that anger was artificially produced by the seal. The rest was from Sasuke himself. What a piece of work he left behind him after massacring his clan. Thought Orochimaru. Itachi, with his diversity of Sharingan, Chakra control, and prowess, would have been the better candidate, but Itachi was too powerful to be taken at this stage. What a pity that I'll have to make do with his third-rate brother.
Sasuke charged his last Chidori and simply flew toward his opponent at amazing speeds. The Hokage smirked. 'Your son put up a valiant fight, but it appears Sasuke has the upper hand.'
Underneath his face mask, Orochimaru grinned. 'I wouldn't be so sure about that.'
In the middle of the arena, Gaara uttered a scream of pain and.. joy?
'YESSSSSSS! I WILL DEFINITELY KILL YOU! YOU WILL PROVE MY EXISTENCE!'
A massive arm of sand leapt out into the air to crush the gaping Uchiha, who was saved only by the Sharingan's alerting him of the intended movement. Leaping back, the supposedly victorious Uchiha stared wide eyed as Gaara, despite being struck by the Chidori, not only remained conscious and standing, but seemed to be growing stronger and more threatening.
In the stands, Kabuto had already activated his wide-area genjutsu. Except for some of the more experienced or intuitive shinobi, everyone was asleep.
Orochimaru threw up his robes in one hand and a Kunai straight into the Hokage's head with the other.
The Hokage whipped around and the kunai flew back toward the Snake-man.
Orochimaru smiled. Of course the Third won't be killed so easily. Why am I not surprised?
Around them, the Sound Four, Orochimaru's cursed ninja, erected the Violet Flames Barrier. One of the ANBU who was attempting to rush to the Hokage's side hit the barrier and was burnt to ashes.
Outside the barrier, near the village border, a giant three-headed Snake broke through Konoha's massive city walls. Below, Gaara, the Jinchuuriki of the one-tailed Bijuu, had collapsed mid-transformation and was being evacuated by his siblings.
'Orochimaru.' The Hokage seethed. 'What did you do with Minato's body?!'
'What?' Orochimaru blinked. 'After all this time, that's what you want to talk about? Not 'what were you doing all these years, Orochimaru?' or 'what is the purpose of the cursed seal Orochimaru?' or 'Why did you betray the village, Orochimaru'... Really, sensei? Minato of all things? I'm disgusted.'
Orochimaru dug his fingers underneath the folds of his eyelids and lifted the skin off his face. The Third's eyes widened in surprise. Snakelike eyes stared back at him from the face of the Fourth Hokage. 'Minato! Why?! Why are you doing this?!'
Minato's face cracked into a smug smile. 'Ssarutobi ssensei. I knew you'd gone old but this? It seems you've really lost your touch. It's me. It's Orochimaru.'
The old man's mouth gaped. His mind instantly registering what Orochimaru had done. Anger, regret, sorrow, and despair writ themselves on the old Hokage's face.
The Fourth's voice floated across the rooftop. 'I've got to say, Sensei, coming here in Minato's body was completely worth the trouble. You should see your face. To think I'd see the face of Sarutobi Hiruzen, 'God of Shinobi', looking so pitiful.' Orochimaru cackled.
Outside the barrier, one of the ANBU spectators voiced a similar shock at what they saw before them. 'That's the Fourth! What the hell?! That's the Fourth!'
Orochimaru cackled louder before a stream of flames struck him with full force. Disappearing into the fire, the Snake-man gave a terrible scream of agony.
The Hokage closed his eyes and muttered an apology. 'Minato..' he grit his teeth 'I should have just let you rest. To have Orochimaru defile your body like this, I am truly sorry.' For the first time in years, the old Shinobi cried, allowing tears to form in his eyes and flow down his weathered cheeks.
'Looks like taking the Fourth's body is paying dividends. How nice of you to have sacrificed so much Chakra to preserve this body for me.' Orochimaru rose from the ashes from where he stood before the flames had disrupted his gloating. He was still wearing Minato's face. 'If you must know, Sasuke is going to be my next body. After I take Sasuke, I'm going to dump the body of your precious Minato into some ditch in the middle of nowhere after I've dissected it into a million pieces.'
Orochimaru laughed some more. He loved this. He loved speaking in the Fourth's voice. He loved the looks of horror and despair his old mentor was giving him.
'Minato' calmed his hysteria. 'This has been so very entertaining, Sarutobi sensei, and the fun is only just beginning.'
Orochimaru began the Impure World Ressurection of the First and Second Hokage, but found that he could no longer move.
The Third stood before him with his palms clasped together.
NO! Orochimaru screamed internally. He knew what was happening. The old bastard is using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal to seal away my soul.
Minato's face sneered in an ugly grimace. 'SAARUTOBI! YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR!'
With a stubborn will, Orochimaru fought the Third's hold over his soul. After all I've done to achieve immortality, I can't lose it here. Not like this.
The Third grit his teeth. I must atone for what I've done to Minato's body. Orochimaru's soul must be removed. For the sake of the Fourth.. for the sake of the village and its people.. for the sake.. of my family.
His hands squeezed together even tighter, the Hokage unclenched his teeth and roared in a show of extreme effort.
Orochimaru grunted. If things kept up like this, he was going to lose his soul. The Sannin became desperate.
'No, sensei, please. You do not want to do this. I am your student. You trained me, you raised me with high hopes. I am like a son to you. RELEASE MY SOUL YOU OLD FART!'
The Third's hold on Orochimaru's soul was iron-strong. Even the Sannin's stubborn will could not overcome it.
With a final gasp, Orochimaru's soul was finally torn from his body. As the old man was losing his consciousness, he silently voiced his last thoughts. SHINIGAMI! IF THE VALUE OF MY SOUL IS SUFFICIENT AFTER THIS EXCHANGE, RETURN MINATO'S SOUL TO HIS BODY!
With that, he collapsed. Sarutobi Hiruzen was dead.
Across from him, Minato's body crumbled. The Sound Four looked on in horror. Orochimaru was not supposed to lose.
Tayuya was first to speak. 'Let's get the fuck out of here.' The others nodded. With practiced timing the four ninja released the Violet Flames Barrier and ran off.
The ANBU captain waiting outside wasted no time in reacting to the situation. 'Don't let them escape, capture them!'
The other ANBU wordlessly leapt away to pursue the escaping Sound ninja. Down below, the Suna invaders had been subdued. Not too far away, the Three-headed Snake had been crushed by the Toad Sage, Jiraiya. Nearly six kilometers out from the village, Gaara lay in heap of blood and tears as his forehead was dealt a heavy blow by Naruto's thick skull.
Orochimaru was dead. Suna had surrendered.
Konoha had survived the invasion.
- Intermission -
On the rooftop where the battle between Orochimaru and the Third Hokage had occurred, the remaining ANBU captain who had been watching the entire exchange outside the barrier was now kneeling next to the old Hokage's body. Tears fell hidden behind her tiger-mask. 'You were a wonderful Shinobi who fought for his people, a Shinobi who loved his village with all his heart. Your sacrifice will be remembered. We shall carry on your will of fire, Sarutobi Hiruzen.'
Many other Shinobi who had also gathered around the body of the Third when the barrier fell nodded in agreement. More than a few were openly weeping. Among them, Kakashi stood with his eyes closed in silent respect to one of the greatest human beings that Konoha had ever produced.
Suddenly, one of the sensor-nin broke the crowd's reverie as he noticed the presence emanating from the spot where Orochimaru had fallen. 'The enemy, he's still alive!'
Kakashi's Shinobi reflexes went on high alert. The enemy is still alive?!
The former ANBU assassin flashed across the rooftop with kunai in hand. As he was about to plunge the weapon into the head of the unconscious man, he stopped.
His eye widened in disbelief. Impossibly but unmistakably, the man lying across the tiles of the roof.. it was the Fourth Hokage.
It was Namikaze Minato.
Several other Shinobi appeared at Kakashi's side, several with very similar reactions. The man before them looked exactly the same as he did twelve and a half years ago, His identity was unquestionable. A couple of Shinobi, masked ANBU by the looks of it, took the initiative and wordlessly took the Fourth away for medical attention. The others quickly followed suit.
Kakashi stared after them, whispering under his breath. 'It can't be..'
The Fall of Konaha
The Fallof Konaha
'Chidori!' Sasukecried, rushing towards the closing shell of sand surrounding Gaara.Several large spikes shot out to defend, but Sasuke pressed on,forcing his Chidori into the sphere. A blood-curdling scream washeard, silencing the audience. The sand began to fall, and Gaara wasstill standing, only because Sasuke was holding him up. Gaara lookedin horror at the lightning coursing across his body, the point ofentry being his chest. Blood fell freely from his chest, and lifebegan to drain from his eyes. Sasuke pulled his hand back, andwatched Gaara fall. The proctor rushed over, putting two fingers toGaara's throat.
'Gaara is dead!'he shouted, and the crowd cried in surprise. Sasuke stepped back afew feet, his eyes wide, having never killed someone before, and onlyever wanting to kill Itachi.
The sand ninja senseilooked on in horror as he stood behind Konkuro and Temari.
'Gaara is dead, weneed to attack now or abandon the plans!' He said into a smallradio.
Thekazekage stood up, and the hokage took little notice. A greatrumbling was heard, and three massive snakes could be seen at the farside of the village. The few shinobi standing guard at the viewingplatform looked to the hokage, he nodded, and they left.
'Aninteresting turn of events.' The kazekage noted.
'Whoever is behind this will be brought to justice.' The third hokagereplied.
'Youwill try.' Orochimaru replied as he cast aside the Kazekage'sclothing, drawing a kunai and placing it at the Hokage's neckbefore he could react.
'Defendthe Hokage!' several Anbu Black Ops shouted as they leapt to theviewing platform.
'Raisethe shield!' Orochimaru cried to the four previously unnoticedsound ninja.
'Yes,Lord Orochimaru!' the sound ninja four summoned the shield,encasing the two Kages inside. The anbu futilely hurled kunai at theshield, and they bounced off harmlessly.
'Alright,Sarutobi. We will fight, alone, and you will die.' Orochimarusaid as he took the knife from Sarutobi's throat and walked slowlybackwards. He shed his outfit, revealing the more familiar outfittypical for Orochimaru.
'Orochimaru...Youare actually going through with it, aren't you? All because you werenot chosen to be the fourth Hokage. It isn't too late, you can stopthis foolishness!'
'That iswhere you are wrong, Sarutobi Sensei! It is far too late! You werepractically begging for death by not allowing me to become theHokage! For your arrogance, you shall die!'
'You arewrong, Orochimaru. It is you that is arrogant. Your arrogance blindsyou, so much that you could not see the truth! Minato was chosen tobe the fourth because of his selflessness! You thought of onlyyourself, and that is why you were denied! If it must come down toit, I will fight you, my pupil!'
'I am NOTyour pupil, not anymore, you old fool! For all that it matters, I amnow the master, and you are the student! I have surpassed you inevery way by mastering all jutsu! I will kill you here, and claim myrightful title as the fifth Hokage of the Hidden Leaf Village! Konahaas you know it will cease to exist!'
'You willnever be the Hokage, because so long as breath remains in theirbodies, I know that the ninja of this village will never bow to you.You never did understand what it meant, to truly be a leaf villageshinobi!'
'Well then,Sarutobi Sensei, since you are going to die here, that secret willdie with you!'
'It is nota secret, Orochimaru. Everyone else always understood. You wereblinded by ambition, your quest for more jutsu has brought you onlypain and misery, and you carry them with you like a plague, infectingthe lives of everyone else!'
'Shut up,you old, doddering fool! You will die now, without your precious LeafNinja to save you!'
'Very well,Orochimaru. I never wanted it to come to this. Elemental Mixture!Fire and Earth Styles! Flaming Mud River!' The Hokage spedthrough a dozen hand signs, and shot an oil slick from him directlyto Orochimaru. He then proceeded to light the oil on fire, in abrilliant display. The fire caught up to Orochimaru, the flamescrept up his clothing and consumed his body. He could be heardscreaming, and then laughing.
'Did youreally think such a pathetic jutsu would deal with me? SarutobiSensei, you underestimate your own teachings! This jutsu will be theend of you, Sarutobi! Summoning Jutsu! Impure World Resurrection!'
'Youwouldn't dare!'
'Oh, Iwould, Sarutobi Sensei!' Three coffins shot from the ground, andbegan to smoke.
'What isgoing on in there? What are those coffins?' The leader of theanbu present asked.
'I cannotallow this jutsu to be finished! If all three are revived, Konahawill fall!' Sarutobi shouted, dashing towards the coffin clearlymarked a 'IV'. He reared back with his leg, and was aboutto connect, when Orochimaru spat out his massive blade from histhroat. Sarutobi dodged the blade, which Orochimaru continued topursue him with, controlling it only with his mind.
'Die,Sarutobi!' Orochimaru screeched, as the three coffins exploded.Three pale figures emerged from the coffins, each dressed in separatebattle outfits.
'Orochimaru,you defile their memories by bringing them back!'
'Sarutobi.'Minato said calmly, still fully pale.
'Minato, Iam sorry. I failed, I failed all of you, and I failed Konaha!'
'It isn'tyour fault-' Minato paused as the jutsu began to drag him underOrochimaru's control. 'It is the snake's fault. He was rottenfrom the very beginning, your tutelage had no hand in this.'
'HashirameSenju...The first Hokage, and his brother, the second Hokage...MinatoNamikaze, the fourth Hokage... I have failed you all, and for that, Iam sorry. Summoning Jutsu!' Sarutobi cried, summoning thegorilla, Enma, to his side.
'Sarutobi,I wish you had been able to summon me under less dangerous pretenses.It saddens me to see them like this. What would you have me do?'Enma asked. Sarutobi replied only by holding one hand out, and Enmabecame a staff. Sarutobi grasped a firm hold of it, and held hisground. The three former Hokage's had gone fully under Orochimaru'scontrol, and they began to walk towards Sarutobi.
'Sarutobi!Now you die!' Orochimaru screamed, his eyes full of madness.Sarutobi took a deep breath, and watched as the Hokage's rushed athim. The first reached out to punch him, and he deflected with hisstaff. The second lashed out with a kick, and Sarutobi ducked. Heleapt backwards and flipped as the fourth's rasengan crushed the partof the building that had been under his feet. He retaliated, rushingforward and swiping at the fourth with his staff, who ducked,countering with an elbow deep into the aging Hokage's stomach. Hestumbled backward, and the second swept his feet from under him. Thefirst then kicked him once, sending him flying backwards.
'WoodRelease: Secret Technique, Birth of Dense Woodlands!' the firstshouted, and a forest sprang up to catch Sarutobi in his flight. Hehit a tree, and slumped to the ground. Roots quickly grabbed onto hisfeet and arms as he climbed to his feet.
'WaterPrison Technique!' the Second shouted, landing next to Sarutobi,prisoning him in a globe of water much larger than necessary. Thefourth rushed forward, partially entering the sphere, holding aspinning rasengan at Sarutobi's side. Orochimaru walked nonchalantlyforward, laughing maniachally.
'LordHokage!' the anbu shouted, resuming their efforts to destroy theshield, without any luck.
'What isthe matter, Orochimaru? Your control over them is so weak that youcouldn't convince them to kill me?' Sarutobi spat.
'No, Oh no,Sarutobi Sensei. Having them kill you just wouldn't do! I want thepleasure of killing you myself!' Orochimaru said as he picked upthe sword. He entered the water prison, standing in it in front ofSarutobi. He held the blade at Sarutobi's neck, his armsoutstretched. He raised Sarutobi's chin enough to look him in theeye. 'Now, your reign has ended, 'Lord Hokage' Orochimarusaid with much contempt.
'Fine, butKonaha will never bow to you! You are as evil as this nation isbeautiful! The Leaf Shinobi will defeat you, Orochimaru! It isinevitable!'
'Oh, butthat is where you are wrong! You see, it isn't just me here. Theentire army of the Hidden Sound Village, as well as the Hidden Sandvillage, is here! With their combined might, your pathetic littleshinobi will fall!'
'Theshinobi of this village are of a different breed, Orochimaru. Theyare not so easily conquered. Konaha will prevail, and a new Hokagewill be chosen, but it will not be you, so long as a single LeafShinobi still draws breath!' Orochimaru slapped Sarutobi withhis left hand, and Sarutobi's lip drew blood.
'Shut up,you insignificant worm! You doddering old fool, I have another allywith me as well! One who far predates your time! He is the origin ofthe mighty Uchiha clan!'
'Madara?You couldn't possibly have him here as well! He couldn't be alive!'
'Oh, but heis, Sarutobi, and through no help of my own. He came to me, knowing Ihad a vendetta planned against this pathetic spit of land you call avillage, and he too, had a mission of revenge to complete!'
'You lie,Orochimaru. Your kind will never succeed, and Konaha will-' Hewas cut off as Orochimaru's sword entered his throat abruptly.
'Shut upand die, Sarutobi Sensei! Konaha will fall, and your failure to leadwill be remembered by all!' Sarutobi slumped downward, and theother Hokage's released their Jutsu. The staff vanished in a puff ofsmoke, and the forest disappeared as well. 'Now, my pawns, go,to the downfall of Konaha! Kill any you find who wear a Leaf VillageHeadband!' the other three Hokages walked over to the barrier asit dissippated. The three Anbu black ops leapt up at them, and eachwas swatted effortlessly aside by one of the Hokages. They leapt offthe building, and went to destroy Konaha.
The threeHokage's leapt in separate directions, out of the stadium. The arenawas empty by now, even Gaara's corpse had been removed by Konkuro andTemari. The first Hokage went west, and not long after he had exitedthe stadium, he was intercepted by two familiar faces. He looked fromone, then slowly to the other. Two ninja in sound attire landedbehind him, smiling at Asuma and Kurenai.
'You can'tbeat a Hokage, little Leaf Shinobi! You probably couldn't even beatus!' Tayuya shouted, and Jorobo just grinned.
'That'swhere you are wrong, you see, your first mistake was not knowingenough about your enemy. The third Hokage-' Asuma stopped as hedisappeared, then reappeared behind Jorobo, holding both of hisdaggers to the sound ninja's throat. 'Is my father!' Jorobokicked backwards, and Asuma leapt ahead, quickly reversing hisdirection and going for the first Hokage.
'DemonicIllusion! Tree Bind Death!' Kurenai shouted, and a tree sprungup around Tayuya. Kurenai's head appeared on the side of the tree,slightly higher then Tayuya. She struggled, and Kurenai slowlylowered her knife to Tayuya's throat. Jorobo lunged over, punchingand shattering the tree Tayuya was held in. He then activated thefirst level of his curse mark, and grabbed Kurenai by the throat. Shehung in midair, gasping for breath. Jorobo only laughed.
Asuma ranstraight for the first Hokage, both blades drawn, cigarette still inhis mouth. He leapt into the air, kicking once with his right leg,which the hokage blocked with his left arm. Asuma then rolled over inmidair, dropping his heel at the hokage's head. He caught Asuma'sfoot, grabbed his other, and dragged him violently into the ground.Asuma reared up on his hands, dodging a powerful punch from the firsthokage, then leapt to his feet. He saw Jorobo holding Kurenai, andgasped.
'Kurenai!Hold on!' He suffered a blow to the head from the first Hokagefor his distraction, and he righted himself, ready to continue.
'Hahaha,little Kunoichi. Is your little tree illusion all you can do?'Jorobo laughed as he squeezed her throat tighter. She kicked,struggled, and squirmed, but to no avail, and she felt her breathslipping away. Tayuya took out her flute, released the first level ofher curse mark, and began to play. The three demons she could summoncame to her side, then leapt away as she played, going for Asuma. Henarrowly ducked as the largest of the demons swung its giant club,and the first hokage retracted to avoid being caught in thecrossfire. Asuma kicked one demon in the chest, sending in backwards,then cut another's throat several times. It fell over, bloodied, butthen stood back up, seemingly unaffected.
'A...Asuma..'Kurenai gasped weakly as the life was strangled from her.
'Kurenai!I'm coming!' Asuma shouted, stabbing at the Hokage with bothweapons. He caught Asuma's wrists, and tossed him aside.
'RankougeIchijin Hitoare no Jutsu!' Asuma shouted, holding both handsstraight out, and a violent gust of wind erupted from around him,throwing all four of his nearby enemies off their feet. 'KageBunshin No Jutsu!' Asuma yelled, summoning six clones to hisside. Each of them leapt onto one of his enemies, including Jorobo,who dropped Kurenai as a result. She wasn't moving, and if she wasbreathing, it wasn't deeply. He rushed to Kurenai's side, and checkedher pulse.
'Asuma...'she said softly.
'Kurenai,I'm here!' Asuma replied. 'Are you alright?'
'As...Asuma,I won't be here much longer...Save yourself, get out of here...'Kurenai muttered.
'No, Iwon't leave you!' Asuma shouted. Kurenai stopped talking andbreathing and collapsed in his arms. 'Kurenai!' Asumashouted, at first mournfully, and then angrily. His eyes grew cold,and he glared at his enemies. 'I learned this...from my father,the third Hokage!' Asuma rushed through dozens of hand seals,then dashed over to the first Hokage, breaking his own clone. He heldhim down, and continued. 'Shiki Fujin no jutsu.' Hemuttered, and a spectral visage could be seen behind him. It held outseveral grisly hands, one each pointing at Tayuya, Jorobo, each ofthe demons, and The first Hokage. 'You are going back in theground, and the rest of you, you are going to die.' Anincorporeal hand sprang out from Asuma's chest, penetrating the firstHokage's chest. The same happened with each of his clones. Theirsouls were slowly being sucked out, and there was nothing they coulddo about it. They grew pale, screaming, except for the first Hokage,who had no life to feel pain with. He glared at Asuma, and justbefore it ended, he mouthed the words 'Thank You'. The contractcomplete, the reaper disappeared, with the souls of his victims inhis clutches. Asuma fell over, and crawled over painfully to Kurenai.He rested his head on her stomach, and took her hand in his.'Kur...Kurenai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.'
The FourthHokage leapt east, and the first ninja he encountered was one blonde,spiky haired knucklehead ninja in an orange jumpsuit. FollowingOrochimaru's commands, he attacked any ninja he encountered with aheadband, and Naruto had one. He landed silently behind Naruto, anddelivered a painful blow with the back of his fist into Naruto'shead. Naruto sprawled forward, going head over heels multiple times.He reversed the direction he was facing, got a grip on the groundwith all fours, and skidded to a stop. He brushed himself off, andlooked at his assailant. He was tall, with spiky blonde hair, emptyeyes, and a slightly pale complexion.
Oh,no! Kyuubithought as he too saw the person in front of them. The scene altereddrastically, now in the dungeon that held Kyuubi inside Naruto'smind.
'What isit?' Naruto asked the demon fox through the cage.
'Thatman...'
'What, whois he?' Naruto began to think, going back to the very rare classin which he hadn't fallen asleep or just ignored. His mind flashed tothe monument of the Four Hokages, and a stunning revalation hit him.'We are in trouble, aren't we?'
'That isthe fourth Hokage, the man who sealed me in this prison!'
'He surelooks a lot like me, I mean we have the same hair, a similar face...'Naruto commented.
'You reallydon't know, do you boy?' Kyuubi asked.
'Knowwhat?'
'That man,the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is your father...' Kyuubisighed. 'But he has been dead, since he sealed me inside you.Orochimaru must have used a forbidden technique, to summon him. Thatlikely means that the other Hokages are out and about as well.'At that moment in time, Naruto was hardly paying attention. He heard'Father', 'dead', 'Orochimaru','forbidden technique' and 'summoned'. That wasall the motivation he needed, and then and there, he snapped.
'Give it tome.' 'What are you talking about?'
'Yourpower, give it to me. All of it.'
'I hardlythink you can-'
'I WASN'TASKING!' Naruto shouted, reaching through the bars and grabbingwhat appeared to be Kyuubi in human form. He appeared like Naruto,except with red hair, glowing eyes, teeth and fangs, as well as nineglowing, red tails. He held the fox by the throat, and Kyuubigrinned.
'If youwant the power, take it, boy!' Naruto didn't need to be toldtwice. He reared back with his other hand, then punched straight atthe lock on the prison. As he struck, it all burst away, and acacophonous wind rushed from the prison outward. 'Oooh, youaren't playing around.' Kyuubi said as his tails, and both oftheir hair flapped wildly. Naruto lifted him off the ground, andthrew him into a wall. He followed him directly after, pinning him tothe crater in the wall by his throat once more. The red chakra faded,ever so slowly from the Kyuubi-Naruto, into Naruto. Kyuubi grew lessand less feral looking, and that appearance shifted to Naruto. Narutopunched the visage that was now more like himself than he was, andcontinued to pummel the image. The prison disappeared, and he wasstanding on a field in the center of Konaha. Red chakra sheathed hisbody, he was bent over significantly, he had glowing red hair andeyes, the tails flowed violently behind him, and he could make littlemore sound than a growl.
He leapt off theground, lightning fast, making an eruption of dirt around his feet.He punched his father once in the head, before he had reacted. Hestumbled backward, and Naruto landed on all fours. Naruto leapt upagain, kicking him in the stomach, and then elbowing him in the backof the head, sending his father sprawling. He landed, turned around,growled, and continued. His father brought a rasengan effortlessly tohis hand, and rushed to meet his son. They collided headlong, andwith a violent outburst of wind, they were separated. Naruto was backon his feet first, rushing over to destroy that which was, but couldnot truly be, his father. He dropped from the sky onto his father'sbody who was lying on the ground, pounding him brutally in thestomach, creating a crater and an outburst of red chakra in alldirections. He leapt into the sky, and seemed to have control overhimself now.
'KageBunshin No Jutsu!' he growled, and thousands of clones droppedfrom the sky, all with the same appearance, save the nine glowingtails. They leapt in, each pounding Minato in their own unique way.Naruto had leapt skyward, and dropped like a rock. Minato stood up asthe clones receded, and Naruto dropped two heels on him, one to eachshoulder. He continued, punching Minato violently in the face whileholding his position, clinging to Minato through chakra in his feet.Minato reeled back from the assault, and Naruto fell back off of hima little. He lashed out with one swift kick to the jaw, sendingMinato flying once more, tumbling across the earth.
Naruto, I have more more gift to give...Kyuubi said, and Naruto involuntarily held his arm out, with his palmflat and facing upward. The rasengan spun in his hand for the firsttime, and the nearly uncontrollable chakra caused a massive gust toswirl around it, causing anything not nailed down, including theclones, to be tossed aside. Yourfather's jutsu, enjoy...Naruto ran forward, leapt skyward once more, rearing back with therasengan.
'RASENGAN!'he cried, driving the sphere into the walking corpse's chest. Narutocaught his breath and looked down.
'Naruto...'Minato began.
'What?!'Naruto said angrily.
'I'm sorry,I'm sorry I put that animal inside you, I'm sorry your mother and Iweren't there for you growing up. I only did what i thought was bestfor the village. Thank you, for putting my soul to rest, and undoingwhat that snake Orochimaru did to me. Please, do not hate me for whatI have done.' Naruto fell to his knees, then fell onto hisfather's broken body. He began to cry and wrapped his arms tightlyaround him. His father reached out with one arm to hug him back.
'With thisbody...destroyed, Orochimaru's spell is broken. I will be departingsoon...' He said, and with Naruto still crying and clutching tohis chest, his body fell to dust
