This story is also on FF.net, I DIDN'T COPY IT, I'M THE SAME AUTHORESS
Chapter notes: Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto

Authoress note: If any of the information in my story seems off, according to the manga or the anime, I’m just guessing or going off the top of my head, so just let me know and I’ll change it right away. Besides that, I hope you enjoy my story.

Now just a warning in advance in case you want to get out now, I’ve seen a few stories where Naruto had a twin sister or an older sibling so this is my own version of how it would go.

Oh and this story is also on FF.net so if my updates seem late it’s because I’m updating on two sites at once.

Bonds of Blood

By: Animeroxsmyworld

Chapter 1: Deciding Fate

~*~

“Minato, are you sure about this?” Gamabunta asked solemnly as Namikaze Minato stood on top of him, his yellow eyes looking up at the blond shinobi on his head. Minato stood with Naruto cradled in his arms, his tears visible in the moonlight as they fell silently down his face.

“I have to do this, there’s no other way.” Minato responded as he slowly opened his eyes, tightening his grip on his son. The Kyuubi no Kitsune was on the other side of the two, all nine tails lashing out behind him. With each lash, sound waves knocked trees backwards, created craters on the ground and made a wave of ninjas fly backwards as they tried to fight against the monstrous fox.

Those red eyes stared hatefully at them, canines bared and gleaming.

“I’m here for you kid.” Gamabunta offered softly, reaching one webbed hand back to grasp the hilt of his small sword, anticipating the battle to come. They both knew that they were no match for the demon in means of brute force, but they had come up with a plan.

“Thank you Gamabunta. Please make sure Jiraiya-sensei and Sarutobi-san get Naruto and Kyoko.” Minato nodded in gratitude as he looked down at his son. His wife, Uzumaki Kushina, had gone through an induced labour and had given birth to identical twins, Naruto and Kyoko.

Delicately, he took the cloth off of Naruto, revealing the seal painted on the infant’s naval.

It was the Shiki Fuujin No Jutsu (Dead Demon Consuming Seal), something that he had constructed. It would seal away half of the Kyuubi’s chakra, the Ying, while the Yang chakra would be accessible to Naruto in future years.

“And Kushina?”

“She was already half dead when I arrived.” Minato whispered in a dead voice. The doctor had told him that they had tried all they could but they couldn’t help her. She wouldn’t make it through the night. It was nothing short of a miracle that she survived as long as she had, managing to just survive giving birth.

“There was nothing I could do.” He whispered just loud enough to be heard over the wind.

He hated how the last moment they had together resulted in him hurting her by taking Naruto. By using their only son in this sealing jutsu.

The wind whistled through the air, making Minato’s white and red cloak flap around him wildly. The moon overhead was the only source of light for this battle. He nodded to himself as he realized that now was the time.

“Let’s go.”

Gamabunta nodded before the two Konoha warriors snapped their heads in the direction of the Kyuubi as it gave a shriek of a bark.

It was a shrill sound that made the hair on the back of Minato’s neck stand on end.
Minato braced himself as the wind threatened to knock him back, nestling Naruto against his chest for safety.

The ninjas below parted and retreated as their eyes landed on the Yondaime. They had done their part, holding the fox off until Minato could arrive.

“You better be ready!” Gamabunta called before pushing off the ground, the muscles in his legs pushing him a great distance. He could only do so much against a summon of this calibre.

In response, the Kyuubi lunged forward towards the giant Toad while Minato’s free hand flashed through the hand signs.

“Forgive me, Naruto.” Minato apologized to the infant as light shot forth from him, a sign that the seal was activating. Naruto’s cheeks were wet with fat tears as he wailed into the night though it could be barely heard as Gamabunta wrestled with the giant fox.

Everything was engulfed in the bright light, Minato feeling his chakra drain away from him as his body began to weaken. The flaw of this sealing jutsu was that it would take the life of the caster in return for using it.

A shockwave filled the earth, the shinobi below bracing themselves as multiple people got thrown back from the force.

It was as if the whole Earth had pulsed.

Pain flashed through Minato, white and hot, like lightning. His mouth opened in a silent scream of agony as he dropped to his knees, crumpling over at the waist. His whole body felt like it was on fire.

The light faded leaving Minato on his knees trembling, bent at the waist with his forehead pressed against Gamabunta’s skin. Naruto was just barely in his grasp, pressed against his chest as Minato wheezed and coughed, spluttering for breath as indescribable pain throbbed inside his skull.

He fumbled and staggered to his feet, his body sluggish and unwilling to obey him as his eyes unfocused. Had he just been hit by a two by four?

Where the Kyuubi had once stood, there was now an empty space. Red chakra however, leaked through the trees like mist, curling against trees and stones. Eventually it would evaporate into the very air they breathed and then disappear for good.

“Gamabunta! Lower me to the shed! I need to hurry!” Minato wheezed sharply as he saw the seal glowing on Naruto’s stomach. The seal still wasn’t complete. There was a second step to it that would ensure it lasted.

“Got it!” Gamabunta replied quickly, knowing that it was important for Minato to hurry. He lowered the male to the ground, in front of a small abandoned shed that was located not far from where they had stood moments ago.

They had already had this last step all planned out, even the location of the shed was deliberate. Everything would be set up for him already, Jiraiya having stopped by the shed shortly before helping the other ninjas with the battle.

Minato staggered into the building, lying Naruto in the center of the ground. It was taking the last of his strength to light the candles around his son, struggling to light them
properly since everything was spinning around him. His perception was off and he almost burnt his own fingers a few times by missing the wick of the candle completely.

The candles lit and a glow flowed into Naruto’s body, burning a bright red. The air in the shed turned into a wind that whipped about wildly, like the howl of a fox. On Naruto’s body, the glow faded but whisker marks slowly revealed themselves on his cheeks, becoming etched into his very being.

The wind disappeared, taking with it the flames of the candles. Smoke swirled around the room as Minato crashed forward, face smacking into the pavement below him.

“I’m…sorry…Naruto…” Minato gasped out breathlessly, eyes swimming before beginning to go dim. In that last second, he saw a red haired angel reach out towards him, tears of silver on her face.

Yet she still looked as beautiful as she did the first night they met.

“Kushina.” Minato smiled appreciatively, that one thought running through his head before he thought no more. Minato’s soul leaving to pay sacrifice for the seal.

The fourth Hokage and Konoha’s yellow Flash was dead.

~*~

“How can you even consider letting that…that thing…live?” Uchiha Fugaku cried out angrily, glaring at the unmoving Hokage.

“I am not going to allow the murder of an innocent child!” Sarutobi roared with authority. The council grew silent for a second before erupting in protests.

“That is not a child! That’s the demon itself!” Another council member shrieked, pointing a shaking finger at the surprisingly slumbering twins. Jiraiya had collected Naruto and Minato’s corpse from the shed once the battle was settled while a nurse had brought over Kyoko from the hospital once Kushina had passed on.

“It should be killed now, while it’s weakened!”

“Why should it still live while so many loved ones died trying to kill it?”

Sarutobi frowned deeply as most of the council shouted the same thing. It was disturbing how little they cared about the death of the blond baby.

“Are you mad? This thing could be the greatest weapon Konoha could have possibly received!” Ling shouted, turning to face the rest of the council.

“Think about it! With the right training, it could make us the most powerful ninja village!” Ling continued.

“Or it could turn around and destroy us!” Someone else accused of the blond infant.

“If we don’t kill it now while it’s weak, it’ll only continue to be an even bigger threat!” Fugaku snapped.

“It’s a demon! It can’t be killed by normal means!”

Sarutobi frowned deeply, eyes narrowing.

Did they have no regard for human life?

“That weapon is only a baby! Not even any baby but Minato’s baby!”

Everyone flinched, turning to look at an angry Jiraiya who had been standing in the corner, next to the small crib the two babies were slumbering in, the set of blondes looking near impossible to tell apart, save for the whisker like markings on Naruto’s face.

“What would Minato or Kushina say if they found out that you were trying to murder their son?!” He yelled, fists clenched at his side. Minato was the closest thing that Jiraiya ever had to a son, and to see the council treating Minato’s actual flesh and blood with such cruelty made his blood boil.

“Minato was trying to kill the demon!” Fugaku snapped, now turning on the white haired sannin. “He failed though and now we have to carry out the rest of the plan!”

“Minato never planned to kill the demon!” Sarutobi cut in harshly, a hush falling among everyone at those words.

Fugaku seemed to be the first to regain himself.

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE NEVER PLANNED TO KILL THE DEMON?” He cried out in pure fury. Had the Yondaime planned to just let it run rampant, killing countless people? Let it live after all the loved ones it had taken from everyone?

“A demon can’t be killed. It can only be sealed.” Sarutobi supplied as he glowered at everyone in the council. “Naruto is in no way the Kyuubi but the Kyuubi’s jailor. Thanks to Naruto, the Kyuubi is no longer around.”

Sarutobi took this minute of silence that fell among the council to continue.

“Minato wanted his son to be known as a hero. He had this worked out a few days before the birth. Ever since they figured out a way to stop the Kyuubi. He wanted his son to live. Shouldn’t we honour the wish of the deceased Yondaime?”

“I’ll never be able to forgive that demon for killing my family. There’s no way I would honour him!” Someone spat venomously, the silence now broken.

“But we can still let him live.” Sarutobi pressed firmly, not backing down on his decision. He would not budge on the last few wishes Minato had ever asked of him.

“It’s troublesome but…I agree.”

The room filled with shocked silence as all eyes turned to look at the source of the voice. The male was leaned forward in his chair, his left arm in a splint while a bandage covered his right temple and chin. A wound from where the Kyuubi had scratched at him absently, but it would scar over nonetheless. Yet compared to the multiple shinobi never to return home, it was a minor injury.

Nara Shikaku stared back, resolve unchanging in his calculating face.

“You what?” Someone breathed, shock coating the words.

“I said I agree. The Yondaime was a true hero to the Village and a good friend.” Shikaku repeated.

Jiraiya could’ve sunk to his knees and praised the damn Nara. Someone else was on their side.

“Well….if Shikaku is ok with it….” Akimichi Chouza started, timidly at first. His voice quavered slightly as people slowly began getting over there shock. He figured he better hurry up before they began chewing him out. “Then I’m fine with it!” He squeaked quickly.

Yamanaka Inoichi swore under his breath as he saw the inevitable fate his friends were dragging him into. They stuck together through thick and thin so it seemed they had made the decision for him.

“Well fuck.” He cussed as he slapped his forehead. “I guess that makes me in as well. Minato was a hell of a guy. I guess I can do this in memory of him.” Inoichi mumbled.

“What’s the matter with you?” Someone screeched at them, and soon everyone else joined in. It seemed the little tiny show of defiance for Naruto brought around a few more, the Hyuuga and the Aburame clan coming to their side eventually as an argument waged.

It pleased Sarutobi that Minato had people who still respected him enough to risk this for him.

“What about Kyoko?” A female asked, having been quiet through the whole argument. The question actually silenced quite a few of the council members, drawing everyone’s mind to the other child of the Yondaime and Kushina.

“What about Kyoko?” Sarutobi asked slowly as he looked at the female who had spoken. It was Utatane Koharu, one of his old teammates. Her grey hair was pulled up in a tight bun with a pair of chopsticks shoved through it. Her face was cold yet still sharp despite her age.

“Is she not also the child of Minato? We need to think about her safety as well.” She started, rapping her knuckles lightly on the top of the table.

“That’s right! We can’t simply allow her to be put in danger by staying with that…that…thing!” Someone else agreed, sounding like they were choking at the end of their sentence.

“Kyoko will be in no danger.” Sarutobi reassured. To the members of the council, she was the real child of Namikaze Minato, not the jinchuuriki lying next to her. She wasn’t the one holding a demon captive.

“Grouping her together with that…demon, will automatically put her in danger. I say we separate them.” Koharu continued, standing up from her seat. “She is the rightful heir to the Namikaze name.”

“How do you figure that? Naruto is the rightful heir!” Jiraiya barked, placing one hand on the crib. By law, the male of the family would be the heir to the family unless the only remaining member was a girl, then she was by default, the heir.

“That thing is not the heir!” Fugaku stated harshly. “That…boy…shouldn’t even be alive!” He spat.

Sarutobi massaged his temples as noise assaulted his ears. Did he not just go through this? They were talking in circles.

“Anyone who lays a hand on this boy will immediately be put in jail.” Sarutobi spoke up, making his tone as commanding as he could.

“That’s an outrage! How can y-“

“IF I HEAR ANOTHER WORD ABOUT KILLING HIM, YOU’LL BE THE FIRST ONE GOING TO JAIL FUGAKU!” Sarutobi finally snapped, his patience gone. This council meeting was going in circles and they still had more pressing matters to deal with as well.

Fugaku’s jaw clicked together quickly, eyes glowering at the Sandaime as he lowered himself down. Many of the other council members did the same.

“…We’ll let the boy live…” Koharu started. Fugaku’s vein on his throat throbbed with how badly he wanted to object, but the threat of the Sandaime still rung in his ears.

“But in return, let Naruto go by Uzumaki, Kyoko will be the only Namikaze.” Koharu finished. Only the council members knew about the secret marriage between Minato and Kushina. It had been a safety precaution in case anyone had decided to try and harm Kushina to get to Minato. Uzumaki was Kushina’s maiden name.

Jiraiya opened his mouth to protest when Koharu gave the two men a piercing look.

“This is the best deal you can get with us at the moment.”

The rest of the council seemed to settle down, a few mumbling in protest, but the majority nodded in agreement. Jiraiya looked at Sarutobi who was remaining quiet, the elderly man having a thoughtful look in his eyes.

“On one condition.” Sarutobi said calmly, Jiraiya’s eyes widening, mouth dropping slightly. He didn’t expect the old man to actually give in and compromise. “No one is allowed to tell the younger generation anything. Speaking about the demon is forbidden.”

“WHAT!” Many council members screamed at once, Fugaku included.

“I’m sorry Hokage-sama but we have a right to warn our children of the danger.”

“There will be no danger. There will just be a boy.” He said, for once rising out of his seat with deliberate slowness. “Now this will be the best deal you will get from me.”

The council sat in silence, before angry grumbles and complaints began to arise. Sarutobi sat back down in his chair before looking over at Jiraiya. His brown eyes looked tired, as if the elderly man would like nothing more than to leave the room.

“Please take them to my office. There are still some arrangements we need to discuss before I can leave. I’ll be there in a few minutes.” Sarutobi instructed wearily, Jiraiya frowning before gripping the edge of the poorly constructed crib.

The wheels squeaked as he effortlessly rolled the twins out of the room, the last time the two would ever be known as brother and sister.
