A dead soul (Naruto Fanfiction)

The free fox

"Who the fuck are you"

"I am Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage" 

------------------------------------------------------------------

I get a good look at the guy in front of me, "What does the Hokage want from a demon like me" I respond sharply. He says nothing except looking at me, so this is it, I'm probably going to die now am I?

"Just wait, I'll figure something out" Kurama says

'I trust you' I say back to him

He comes closer, at least three meters away and says "Naruto, you have finished your 2-year sentence and are free to leave if you would follow me." he walks away and opens up the large metal doors, holding it open for me to reveal fuck tonnes of steps which makes me annoyed. 

I get up from my seated position, confused as fuck. I walk towards the door but trip over my own feat face planting into the ground. This is fucking embarrassing, I feel the blood pour out of my nose, I hear footsteps towards me and the Hokage puts his hand down, he's going to hit me. 

My immediate reaction is fear

"Don't" I say firmly trying to recover from my sudden outburst, I push myself up if I get hit in the ribs or stomach I'm done for. 

He simply pulls his hand away and smiles down at me, is this guy fucking alright, I thought he was gonna beat the shit outta me. Who would smile at someone like me? aren't me and Kurama suppose to be demons to these people. I move across the ground slowly, barely able to pick up my legs. 

My vision gets blurs, no not in front of him, I can't seem weak. It starts getting difficult to breathe. I can hear the sounds of me coughing out blood but I can't feel it. I continue walking towards the doors, struggling immensely. I can feel more blood dribbling out of my mouth.

'FUCK' 

'KURAMA, DO SOMETHING!' 

"I can't not yet were still in the sealed room try to make it u-

I can't hear the rest as I fall to the ground.

MINATO's POV

I stare at the young boy in front of me, he begins to walk strangely then he begins coughing blood out of his mouth. He starts collapsing I quickly rush to his side pulling him up. I notice one thing he's incredibly light. 

I have to rush to get this kid to hospital Tsunade needs to see him. I think I already had a kunai there ready to teleport. I can't believe this happened. I show up in a random room in the hospital, the maternity ward from when Kushina was pregnant. I fly out the door and down the hallway into Tsunade's office. 

"Tsunade-Sama" I burst into her office, she was asleep at a desk and completely startled at my sudden outburst. Her eyes make her way down to Naruto in my arms she looks even more shooked, to say the least. 

She hurries out to the hallway "Shizune prepare the surgical room NOW" she barks orders around and quickly a stretcher pulls up right in front of me I carefully place Naruto down on it and it speeds off into a room in front of me. Shizune points me into the direction of the waiting room. I take a seat and recap today's events. 

---- Flashback MINATO'S POV ----

I was sitting in my office reading reports, every month I get a report on how the Nine-tail jinchuriki, Naruto is doing, he seems to be leading a perfectly normal life. Living in a quiet neighbourhood in the corner of the leaf. He doesn't like other people very much and is homeschooled. I hear he doesn't even like to leave his house. 

It seemed pretty suspicious because no one knew him or what he looked like but supposedly he warmed up to the village elders. Apparently, they go and visit him every month. I planned on tailing along just to see what the kid looked like. He would've been 12 this year. It's hard to believe it was twelve years since the kyūbi attack. 

Kushina was giving birth and gave birth to a beautiful boy with golden hair like mine, I remember the moment so well. A man came later taking the nine tails from Kushina and unleashing it onto the village. Many lives were lost that day including Lord third, Kushina's as well as my precious son. The man took Kushina so I gave my son to lord third and chased after him, I was too late he withdrew the kyūbi from her leaving her to die in my arms. The fox was released unto Konoha and apparently chased them to the point lord third had to fight it off and ended up sealing it into a random kid well Naruto from the village. I lost everything that day, the women I loved, my son and my mentor but I had to protect the village.

I walk out of the Hokage's office, following the two council members as they make their way around the village they walk for about an hour before stopping at a house on the edge of the village, my suspicions immediately subside. This must be Naruto's home I go to walk through the door when I see two Anbu waiting inside holding documents. There must be something wrong, I listen in and watch through the window as they hand over the documents. 

I watch as the councilman leave, I couldn't confront them yet but I will confront the Anbu. 

I walk inside the house and stare directly at them, their facial expressions quickly turn from surprise to worry

"Lord fourth" they reply almost too respectfully

"What the hell is going on, where is the jinchuriki" they both gulp. I know for sure that something is wrong. 

"I said where the fuck is Naruto" I'm incredibly angry now, my most trusted councilman betray me. 

"Wel-l you s-see Lo-rd For-th" one of them manage to say while shaking under my gaze

"T-the coun-ncil i-imprisoned him-m" I stop, my face loses all expression I stare down at them

"When"

"two years ago" I was fuming 

------------------------------ Flashback ends ---------------------

"Lord fourth"

"Lord fourth"

I wake up to see Shizune tapping my shoulder

I see that it's morning 

"Naruto's awake"
