Chapter 4
The Birth Of Naruto
Near the Hokage Rock
When the villagers saw the Nine-Tails tower over the Hokage Rock, they started to run and scream,
"AHHH, IT'S THE NINE-TAILED FOX!!!"
All the villagers started to run to the outskirts of the Hidden Leaf, where there was the Konoha Cemetery, which held a secret bunker in case of emergencies.
Lucky for the villagers, the Nine-Tails was still about eighteen hundred and twenty-seven feet* away from the Hokage Rock, giving them some time to get to the shelters in the village.
As the Nine-Tails ran towards the village, it tore up the ground with its six-and-a-half-foot-long* claws, making it look as if there was a ravine being dug up. Obito was riding a top of the Nine-Tailed Fox with his three tomoe Sharingan activated.
Amidst its running, the Nine-Tails would ignite fires with its fire release. Soon, the whole forest caught fire, raising smoke multiple miles into the air.
Inside Konohagakure
An Anbu body flickered into Hiruzen's house as he, Hiruzen, was putting on his combat gear.
The Anbu reported to him, "Lord Third! It's the Nine-Tails! The Nine-Tails is heading towards the Village from the other side of the Hokage Rock!"
While he tightened his gauntlets, Hiruzen responded, "Yes, I know that. I'll go restrain him. You and the others go protect all the people of the Village." He said, turning towards the Anbu.
The masked Anbu responded in correspondence, "Yes, sir!" He then body flickered away to relay the message.
The Third Hokage was in thought, thinking, "Was Kushina's seal broken? We failed, even with all the safeguards we put in place? Biwako…"
Might Guy then yelled out towards the Nine-Tails, saying that he would defeat it. But Kakashi said that they don't know what they were up against. Just then, a nearby Jōnin told them to go to the guardhouse, as the Third Hokage had ordered it.
Outside of the Village
When the Nine-Tails was almost a whole body length away from the Hokage Rock, Minato, from the top of it, threw a three-pronged kunai towards Kurama, but the kunai missed Kurama and went past him. Unbeknownst to Obito, who saw the kunai come and pass, this was Minato's plan. Minato had already set a seal on a tree near where the Nine-Tails was.
Minato used the Flying Raijin Jutsu to teleport to the tree. Obito thought that Minato was behind him, so he used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, but he hit nothing. Suddenly, Minato jumped up and used Wind Release: Air Bullets. Unfortunately, the air bullets passed right through Obito like they never existed.
"Ho ho, did you really think that would work on me, Minato?"
Such progression shocked the Fourth Hokage, but luckily, he was able to react in time to dodge Kurama's right claw slashing at him. Minato teleported to a seal on the left side, just out of sight of Obito and Kurama.
Abruptly, three Minatos came from different areas in the forest, and all ran towards the Nine-Tails, while throwing four three-pronged kunai and five normal kunai in different directions. Some landed in Kurama's body, some under him, and others just scattered in the nearby vicinity.
The Minato on coming from behind, used Lightning Strike, as the one on the right used Wind Release: Rotating Shuriken, and finally, the Minato in front of the nine tails used Fire Release: Flame Bullet. The first, Minato, aimed his jutsu at Obito, who had been scanning the area. The second aimed his jutsu at Kurama's legs, while the last one aimed his at Kurama's eyes, yet he knew it wouldn't do anything as it was only a diversion, and hid another three-pronged kunai.
Obito was able to phase through the lightning jutsu, but Kurama had his left legs hit with the wind release jutsu. Kurama dodged the fire release jutsu, but let the kunai get past him, so then the real Minato teleported to that kunai and landed on Kurama.
Minato landed just as Obito finished phasing through the lightning jutsu, so he decided to slam a Rasengan into his back, sending him flying, but Obito was prepared and phased away completely after getting hit.
Obito groaned, saying, "Ah, just as strong as ever, Minato!"
Obito phased to a nearby tree and used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, aiming it at the real Minato. Luckily, the tree Obito phased to was marked by Minato, so he teleported there and used a Rasengan, blowing the tree away. While the real Minato and Obito were fighting, Minato's clones were fighting the Nine-Tails.
Obito tried to use Kamui on Minato, but Minato used Flying Raijin Jutsu to escape from Kamui.
Obito was slightly shocked, thinking to himself, "He's just as fast, next time I'll have to be quicker with Kamui."
Suddenly, Minato realized that whatever was pulling him in was the reason his attacks wouldn't land on the masked man, and it seemed like it stemmed from his Mangekyō Sharingan. Minato was currently hiding, thinking, but also knowing he would be discovered soon because of the Sharingan.
Just then, Obito appeared before Minato, trying once again to suck him into the Kamui Dimension, but once again, Minato teleported away, and this time, he teleported to the wooden house he had gone to when he first saved Naruto.
Minato went through everything that happened and realized that his opponent might be Madara Uchiha. Once again, Obito had appeared before Minato, and Minato asked,
"Are you Madara Uchiha? No, that is impossible, he is long dead."
Obito took off his hood, and said, "Oh? Are you sure about that?"
"Never mind who you are. I will not let you destroy The Hidden Leaf!"
Inside The Leaf
Hiruzen ordered all high-ranking Jōnin to go to where the Nine-Tails was, and to follow his orders.
When they arrived at where the Nine-Tails was, they saw Minato's shadow clones fighting the Nine-Tails, and they started to hold off the Nine-Tails. While getting ready to seal it with Minato's help.
Minato and Obito's fight
"Why are you attacking the Village?"
"What would you like to hear? That I did it on a whim, or that I planned this all? I could also tell you that I am doing this for war, or that I believe this will bring peace."
As Obito said this, he brought out metal chains that he intended to use in his fight.
"He's not normal; he's able to control the Nine-Tails. Is this because he has the Mangekyō Sharingan? He also has a lunatic's mindset. If I don't finish this fast, we will have bigger problems than the Nine-Tails. If I go to the Village, he will follow along; I must not do that. If he's anything like Madara, he can't keep the Nine-Tails under his control for too long. I have to trust Lord Third can handle the Nine-Tails, and just take this gut down right here, right now." Minato thought.
While Minato was having his monologue, Obito put on metal cuffs that had the chains attached to them.
"Now that I've freed the Nine-Tails, there's no hope for any of you!"
Obito and Minato charged at each other. Minato tried to stab Obito with a kunai, but Obito phased through him and tried to catch Minato with his chains. Minato teleported to a kunai he had on the ground from the earlier explosion.
"My physical attacks do not affect him; it's like he doesn't exist physically, but when he attacks me, he is as solid as can be. I have to be precise with my timing so that we attack at the same time. But he also knows he's vulnerable when he attacks, and considering the time limit on the summoning jutsu of the Nine-Tails, he won't want a drawn-out fight. Whoever attacks an instant quicker than the other wins this fight."
The fight against Kurama
Using his Adamantine Staff, Hiruzen slammed down on Kurama's head. In contrast, the Nara Clan's head tried to paralyze it with the Shadow Paralyzation Jutsu, but it didn't work, as the Nine-Tails' chakra overwhelmed the jutsu.
Many other high-ranking ninjas hit the Nine-Tails, but their attacks had no effect, as his skin was too tough. The only people who could do damage were Minato's shadow clones and Hiruzen.
After Hiruzen hit the Nine-Tails with his staff, he used Fire Release: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet. The attack landed, but it didn't faze Kurama, and he swiped at the Third Hokage with his long nails, but the Third had no way of defending himself.
Minato's shadow clones jumped up with Rasengans in hand, they hit Kurama's claw, and a giant shockwave was sent out for sixty miles* in each direction.
Just seconds after the shockwave, a bright honey-gold beam shot into the air, distracting everyone, even the Nine-Tails, but two people weren't distracted: the last one of Minato's shadow clones and Hiruzen.
They decided to take this opportunity and used the Rasengan and Earth Release: Earth Dragon Bullet, respectively, to injure the Nine-Tails.
The wooden house
They dash at each other again, when they were about ten feet* from each other, Minato threw a three-pronged kunai at Obito. It went through him, when they were a matter of centimeters from each other, Obito tried to grab Minato. But Minato used Flying Raijin Level Two and slammed a Rasengan into Obito's back, while also placing a Flying Raijin seal on his back.
Obito jumped back onto a platform of land, and his false right arm started to fall off.
"You got me. You truly are slippery and quick-witted. I never should have let my guard down."
Just then, Minato teleported to Obito and stabbed him with a kunai from behind, and placed a Contract Seal on him.
"A Contract Seal? Trying to separate the Nine-Tails from me?"
"With this, your connection to the Nine-Tails is over!"
Suddenly, they felt a shockwave and then saw a giant honey-gold beam of light come from the Village. This distracted Obito only, giving Minato time to cut off Obito's mask, revealing that the masked man was his former student Obito Uchiha, who he thought had died.
This revelation shocked Minato, giving Obito enough time to teleport away into the Kamui Dimension.
While he was dispersing, Obito said, "I guess you found out, not like it will help you any, teacher. Oh, and tell Kakashi that I will kill him one day."
Back outside the Village
When he was hit, Kurama snapped out of his daze and was also released from Obito's control. Just then, ninja, including Anbu, threw paper bombs at him; they did little to no damage, but that wasn't their purpose. The purpose was to consistently distract the Nine-Tails.
Shinku Yūhi was reporting to the younger ninja, which included Guy, Kakashi, Kurenai, and Asuma, that they did not have to fight the Nine-Tails as this was a domestic trouble, and not war. Kurenai argued against him, but he said, the village needs them to nurture the next generation and to carry the Will of Fire upon them.
The Nine-Tails had had enough and decided to use a Tail-Beast-Ball. Sadly, the Third Hokage was out of stamina and could not block the attack. But Mianto had appeared in time and summoned Gamabunta, and he landed upon Kurama.
"Hiruzen, I will make this quick. Obito is behind this and extracted the Nine-Tails from Kushina!" After he said this, Minato teleported the Nine-Tails to where Naruto and Kushina were, so he could seal the Nine-Tails.
"Fuck, I don't have much chakra left, but I must erect a barrier"
"Minato… I can still do it," Kushina used her Adamantine Sealing Chains to hold down the Nine-Tails even if it killed her.
Naruto started to cry from the noise
"Woke you up, huh. Sorry… Naruto." After coughing, Kushina finished talking, saying, "I'll take the Nine-Tails with me to my death. Because that way, we can reduce the interval between now and when he emerges again. This is all I can manage now with the little chakra I have left. But I will be able to save you both. So…thank you for everything you've done."
Minato reminds Kushina that she made him the Hokage and that she made him who he is now, in a heart-warming yet sad scene.
"I am happy because you love me. And what's more, today is the day we had our beautiful baby boy. If I were to imagine all of us living together, I couldn't picture us as anything but happy."
"Please, Kushina, save the little chakra you have left for your reunion with Naruto. I will seal the rest of your chakra in Naruto; it will be part of an Eight-Signed Seal. I will take the Nine-Tails with me. Since I am not a Jinchūriki, I will have to use the Reaper Death Seal."
"NO! You can't do that! If you do-"
"There is one more thing, I will only seal half of the Nine-Tails, it is impossible to seal this much chakra, plus it is unwise to do so. If you take the Nine-Tails with you, there will be no Jinchūriki until he reappears. This will upset the balance of power between the Tailed-Beasts. With the Reaper Death Seal, we can at least seal away half of the Nine-Tails forever. And, the other half of the Nine-Tails. I will seal it inside Naruto with the Eight-Signed Seal! I know what you will say, but remember what Jiraiya said about the upheaval in the world. In addition to all the disasters that will accompany it. I have become certain of two things today, first: the masked man, who I found out is Obito, will bring the disasters to this world. And second: the one to stop him is our child, Naruto Uzumaki."
Minato stood up and weaved the hand seals for the Reaper Death Seal, which consists of Snake, Boar, Ram, Rabbit, Dog, Rat, Bird, Horse, Snake, and Clap Hands.
The Shinigami formed with its dark purple skin, long white cloak, and knife in its mouth.
"Kushina, you won't have much time, but I want you to teach him how to be a Jinchūriki."
"He's our son, Minato, which is why I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden! And tell me, why use the Reaper Death Seal!? If it's just so I can meet Naruto when he's grown up, especially if it's only going to be for a short time. Then there's no need for you to die! I'd rather you stay with him… And watch over him. I just don't understand why it has to be this way! Why does Naruto have to be sacrificed for the balance of the Tailed-Beasts? For his nation, for his Village? Why do you have to sacrifice yourself at all!? Just for me!? Please!"
"To forsake one's nation, and one's village, is exactly the same as forsaking one's own child. Your very own homeland was destroyed, so you should know that. A harsh life awaits those without land to call their home. Besides, our family, is shinobi. Finally, even if I were to live, I could never be a substitute for you. You won't have much time with him. But there's something that only you could tell Naruto. Something I just can't. That's a mother's role. I'm not doing this just for you. I'm doing it for Naruto! I will die for my son. It is my duty as his father!"
The Shinigami stabbed through Minato's chest and into Kurama's leg
"Damn you, Fourth Hokage!"
"Seal!"
The Shinigami ripped out half of Kurama's soul.
"My body feels numb. I can't believe how heavy his chakra is."
Minato summoned a basket with eight candles around it before saying, "All right, now for the Eight-Signed Seal. I'll seal the rest of the Nine-Tails in Naruto."
"A Ritual Altar? He's planning to seal me up again! Not inside that baby!?"
Kushina started to cough heavily and coughed out blood, causing Minato to run over worried.
Kurama took this chance to try and kill Naruto.
...
But instead, he stabbed through Minato and Kushina, luckily stopping Naruto from being hit.
"I said I was his father, dying for him is my duty!"
"Yes, but I'm his mother. It's mine, too. I think this may be the first time that I've lost an argument. I guess it proves how serious you are about doing this."
"I thank you, Kushina."
Minato then summons a toad to give Jiraiya the sealing formula's key to store it.
Minato follows this up by saying, "And now we're safe. Kushina, I'm not going to last much longer. I'll start the Eight-Signed-Seal, right now. I still want to put some of my chakra in Naruto. We won't see him for quite a while. So let's tell him what we want to say."
"Naruto… don't be picky about your food, eat lots so you can grow big. Take a bath every day and stay warm, and don't stay up late at night; you need your sleep. Make friends, you don't need a lot of them, just a few you can trust. I'm not one to talk, but do your best in school and ninjutsu. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses, so don't feel down if you're not good at something. Respect your teachers and seniors at the academy, and don't forget the three shinobi vices. Be especially careful when lending or borrowing money, and make sure to save the money from missions. Don't drink alcohol till you're 20, drinking too much is bad for your health so drink moderately and as for women i am a woman myself so I dont know much about this but there are men and women in this world, so it's okay if you become interested in women, but don't go after the bad ones, find someone like your mom. Speaking of vices, watch out for Jiraya sensei, ya know! Naruto, you will feel a lot of pain and suffering in your life. Believe in yourself, believe in your dreams, and believe that your dreams will come true! There are many, many, many, many, many more things I want to share with you. I wish I could stay with you longer. ...I love you...! I'm sorry, Minato, I spoke for too long…"
"Don't worry. Naruto, my word to you. Well, I guess your talkative mom, said it all. Eight-Signed-Seal."
Once Kushina and Minato died, the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed into Naruto. Hiruzen rushed in and made sure Naruto was alright before ordering the other shinobi to grab Minato, and Kushina's bodies.
The Night of the Nine-Tails has ended.
