I don't own Naruto
When he died, he wasn't expecting to be in the Pure Lands, but neither did he expect to be standing in front of a door that was twice the size of The Nine-tails fox. The door had a peculiar design and strange characters carved on it.
He didn't know why, but something inside of him was telling him to open the door and witness what sort of stuff was inside it.
Standing in one place wouldn't solve anything, he told himself that and pushed open the door. Awestruck. He couldn't believe what he was seeing inside the room. The room had a ceiling that resembled the night sky from Konoha. It was filled with bookshelves and a man sat behind the desk, facing him with a smile that ran a shiver down his spine.
"Come! Minato Namikaze, why don't you come near my desk?!" His entire body tensed up as he heard those words being spoken. But strangely enough, his legs started moving on their own.
Why were his legs moving on their own? He himself didn't know why but what he did know was that the man was bad news. Something inside him was telling him to hiraishin out of this place as fast as he could.
"Your attempt to hiraishin out this place is in vain Minato-kun, after all, chakra doesn't exist in this realm! Now be a good boy and stand near my desk~" His leg as if under the command of this person started to pick up their pace and within a second he was in front of him staring at his black eyes that lacked any sort of emotion like the dead body of his enemies.
"Puzzled as to where and why are you here in front of me and how do I know the name of the Yellow flash? Well, the answers to those questions will answered after I introduce myself!" The more this person spoke the more irritated he got for some odd reason.
"I am **** the overseer of realms! And the reason why you are here!!"
"It doesn't make any sense, I know that I sacrificed my soul to the Shinigami!? So why am I here ****!?" The moment those words left his mouth he could feel as if an invisible force was choking him.
"Oi! Oi! you aren't allowed to speak without my permission, Its RUDE don't you Mr Hokage~!" The invisible force choking him suddenly disappeared. But a strange thought crossed his mind, he was dead, wasn't he? So why did he did oxygen?
"Now! Hokage-san you must be wondering, Why I **** The Overseer Of Realms decided to summon you? Well before that let me ask you a question Hokage-Kun do you play games when you get bored?" Just as he was about to respond to this impatient being's question, he was interrupted by him.
"It doesn't matter what you think Yellow Flash!! Let me tell you I AM BORED!! Of this job sitting here doing nothing except making sure that the realms are in proper order. So with Shinigami-san's help, I have decided to give you a chance to witness your son's childhood."
He was shocked hearing the proposition offered to him, he could see Naruto's life! But as much as the offer sounded enticing there was a huge chance that this being was after something. Because no matter what sort of creature you are bound to expect something in return, just like how the Shinigami takes the soul of whoever summons it.
"Don't even think about rejecting this offer because you have no say in it!" All he heard was the sound of snapping fingers before being enveloped in a bright light, but he could imagine the entity having a huge grin plastered on his face.
________________________________________
Sorrow filled his heart as he witnessed the aftermath of the destruction caused by the nine-tails. His precious village lay in waste, houses destroyed, and Konoha citizens mourning the loss of their loved ones. It was truly a sight that he would always remember, yet it wasn't the cause of his sadness, instead what made his heart wrench was seeing his son crying in his crib.
Instinctively he tried to pick up him only for a huge revelation to set in. He was a ghost, he could do nothing except stare at his son, while he cried possibly asking for his parents to come and pick him up to feed him.
The more his son cried the more he could feel his heart shattering into millions of pieces. "Why? Why isn't anyone coming here to take care of Naruto?" He wondered aloud to no one. He could do nothing as his child cried, he couldn't call anyone asking for their help. All He Could Do Was Nothing!
"Anbu! Why is this child still in my office? Take him to the orphanage this instant!" After what felt like an hour, he could hear Sarutobi's voice. Hope filled his heart as he saw the familiar figure of his predecessor, Only for it to be crushed by the orders that were spoken out of Sarutobi's mouth.

"Why Is the demon here?"
"Why doesn't the Hokage lock away the demon?"
"Why is Lord Third even allowing the demon to roam free?"
"Saki! Don't go near that kid!"
"Perhaps we should get rid of the permanently!"
"Shhh! Are you an idiot if we lay a single finger on the demon the Hokage will have us executed!"
Life wasn't fair, he knew that from a young age. After all, as you grow up you notice several things, like not everyone has a pair of legs or hands, or sometimes they are unable to see the world with their own eyes, while some are unable to hear with their ears.
Deep down he knew that he should be grateful for what he had. Yet even with all of that, he couldn't help but yearn to know what it felt like to have parents, he just wanted to know what it felt like to have them coming to pick you up from school, was it too much to ask?
Instead of all of that, he was all alone in this world, the villagers hated him for no reason and called him a demon. Sure he had whiskers-like marks on his cheeks but it didn't mean he was a demon.
He could feel their eyes on his back, telling him to kill himself or to go somewhere far away from this place. Even if he can't experience the feeling of having parents, could he please have somebody to talk to? Somebody to ask him how his day went?
"Kami-Sama, if you are listening could please fulfil this wish of mine? I am sorry if I am asking for a lot, but if possible could I please have somebody to talk to?"
This was my first attempt at writing a fanfic, so tell me how it was. I am very excited to continue writing this fanfic, but it would be a major boost to my confidence if you could vote and comment. So that I would start writing the second chapter.
