The White Demon Fox

Chapter 3 - A confrontation - Part 1

Minato gently placed down his wife at the hokage estate on their bed. He moved around to their newborn baby crip and picked her up. He walked back to his dying wife and placed their child in her hands. Kushina's face lit up with joy as she tried to bring out her b.r.e.a.s.t in an attempt to at least feed her daughter once before her body chakra network completely collapsed killing her in the process. No one ever survived getting a bijū ripped out of them, not even the greatest seal mistress of the elemental nations' history, Mito Uzumaki-Senju. Death is all that awaited, she and her husband knew it.

Minato mind was somewhere else, he is one of the best sensors in the world, but he did not need to be one to feel the massive amount of chakra radiating out of the giant fox. He could not describe what he was feeling, he never before felt anything like it. At this point even a civilian could point out where the beast is, he did not move a single step from where he had left him. He knew the fox tried to talk to him but after what he saw what a single phrase did he did not feel too confident that he would be able to flash away fast enough. He had no idea what to do, the very idea of sealing the fox seemed like complete joke now. Even if he needed only a single hand seal to seal away the fox, it would not be faster than that attack he saw the beast perform.

"What happened? His eyes, are they some kind of Dōjutsu? Also, his fur why is it white now, I know you mentioned it before that his fur was turning white, but we could never figure out why. I also expected a tailed beast bomb, not that kind of attack, I didn't even see what he did. All he did was to move his hand as if he was carefully aiming and shoot something invisible that was even bigger than his whole size. The chakra he used for that attack was next to nothing for him, what if he loaded an entire tail worth of chakra into it? Oh, Kami!, what if he used all nine tails?" Minato thought out loud as he slipped into a state not befitting his station as his village leader.

"Minato, do not fight it or rather him since he is clearly not a mindless beast like almost everyone believes. I don't think this is a fight we can win. I have a feeling that any attempt to seal him again would result in a catastrophe unheard-of before. The valley of the end where he fought in before is evidently not even a close indication of his current level of power. I don't know how or why but I'm very sure he planned this or at least part of it. He was very careful while he was in the seal, not even once looking at me for years, always keeping his eyes closed. I think he behaved like this all those years ago, so I would not suspect him if he suddenly kept his eyes closed while I was in my mindscape." Said Kushina as she continued to feed her beloved little bundle of joy without even lifting her head to look at her husband.

"What should we do then? By now every single human let alone Shinobi in the elemental nations knows the Kyūbi is out of his jail by now. They are probably thinking he is trashing out Konoha in rampage. The longer he is out like this the more danger we are all in from all our village enemies. Heck, they idiotically might send some half wits seal masters to try to steal the Kyūbi for their village only to doom us all in the process." Said Minato as his voice changed volume out of frustration at their current predicament.

"Talk to him." Said Kushina in a calm voice.

"What?" Minato looked at his wife in surprise.

"He is clearly not going anywhere after all this time nor is he attacking the village that sealed him away. He wants something. At least we know one thing he wants or did you forget what he said to that Obito person?" Said Kushina with a scowl on her beautiful face.

Minato scrunched his eyebrows in focus trying to remember every single word the fox said. Just for his face to change to surprise then pure anger. "He wants Naruto!" spat Minato in anger.

"Yes, although he called her Naruko but I'm sure he was talking about our baby girl. He either did not like the name Naruto or just named her Naruko to spite us. If I thought you could run away and hide our daughter far away from him I would have asked you as my dying wish to do just that. However, chakra is his domain, there is no place on this planet that you could retreat to that would hide you and our daughter away, maybe with seals but you don't have the time to set it up away from here." Said Kushina with a grimace. She slowly stood up as Minato rushed to her side to help her up.

"What are you doing? Stay where you are and spend as much time as you can with Naruto." Said Minato in a worry.

"I'm changing and coming with you, I want to hear what is he planning to do with my baby. Best case scenario I beg him to let her go, or we take a risk and try to seal him anyway. Under normal conditions I would smack you down for even thinking about using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal but at this point I'm thinking the shinigami might not be enough to hold him down from destroying us." Said Kushina as she prepared for the last stand of her young life. Minato did not say anything anymore in protest, he knew that he will need every single advantage against the fox and his wife Adamantine Sealing Chains might be their saving grace. Minato himself went to get ready and gathered everything he needed and might need for this confrontation.

In a Shunshin, the fourth hokage appeared right next to the third hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi with his wife and daughter near where the mighty fox is at. "Ah! Minato-kun what is going on? What happened tonight? How did the Kyubi break out of his seal? Why does he look different from our records?" Lord third wanted to continued firing questions at the fourth hokage but Minato cut him off by saying "Calm down lord third, please. I know this is very confusing and you have a lot of questions, but we to have little answers for you. Matter of fact we think the fox knows more about what happened tonight than us two when we were at where everything happened."

"Please, take control of our Shinobi and order them to stay clear of the fox. I'm sure you saw the devastation he has done to the forest up ahead by now, there is no need to aggravate him further. We can't kill him, and we might not even be able to seal him again." Said Minato.

"What are you going to do then?" Asked the previous hokage who was fully decked out in his battle gear.

"We are going to try to talk to him first." Answered Minato.

Hiruzen looked at Minato as if he went completely insane and lost every shred of sanity.

"Do not look at me like that, I'm not doing this because we have much of a choice in the matter. If I was 10% confident that I could seal him using my soul as a price and get it done with I would have already done so. The fox had been waiting for us to return since he did not move an inch from where he escaped his seal, or at least we think he is waiting for us. We think he tried to talk to us but I could not take a chance and flashed away since the last thing he said caused the destruction you saw to the forest. Yes, no hand seals, or anything we understand or know, he just aimed with his hand and spoke a few words. It was an invisible projectile of some kind that was too fast for even me to feel or track." Said Minato in a serious tone to the third hokage.

Hiruzen opened and closed his mouth not sure what to say. He just nodded and moved to follow the current hokage orders.

"Are you ready?" Minato asked his beloved.

Kushina looked down with a faint smile at the sleeping bundle in her arms and said, " We both are."

Minato put his hand on his wife's shoulder to flash them to the marker he left near the giant fox. Faster than any human has the right to be, the three flashed in a yellow light right in front of the sleeping fox. The view of the giant sleeping fox stole their breath away, he was truly a magnificent creature, he is in every way possible a sight to behold. Before they could get any funny ideas the great Demon cracked one eye open and a neon purple light shone out of it, it was mesmerizing. They had never seen anything like it before, a purple eye with ripple like patterns around his pupil black slit. They silently wondered if this is some kind of new Dōjutsu the fox somehow created for himself.

The Fox opened his mouth to speak, they immediately stiffen in fear and Minato held on is wife shoulder tightly. "It is called the Rinnegan, an overcharged version of the Sage of Six Paths eyes to be specific. Now I know you have questions but I don't care. You will stay where you are and listen. We five are going to play a game where I talk without interruption of any kind, including chakra chains or hand seals. The stakes after all are not just your pathetic puny lives but every single living being on this planet. No, I'm not bluffing. You two saw for yourself what I can do with my sweet and gorgeous eyes, I was not even trying when I did so before. I'm sure your little minds have already considered the fact that I might be able to do the same attack with more chakra, and you would be correct in your guess. All nine f.u.c.k.i.n.g tails worth of chakra in every single direction around me. Nod if you understand."

They both looked horrified at the confirmation of their early suspicion of the fox current power level, they fully now believed they were f.u.c.k.e.d sideways, and they did not know the half of it. Yet they also wondered who is the fifth person the fox spoke about when there is only four of them in a 5 km radius. They both begrudgingly nodded their heads.

The fox nodded back and spoke "Now let me explain the game rules and let you know from the beginning that I'm already assuming that you two will f.u.c.k this up and force me to commit the largest genocide on this planet history that includes every single specie. I do not trust a single human being let alone you two, so the moment I sense the smallest kind of chakra fluctuation in either of you I will assume the worst and fire away with all my might in all directions. I will not take any chances, I will not give you a second chance, I will not show mercy to anyone or anything. I'm one step away from complete madness thanks to the f.u.c.k.e.d up state I was in for the past 100 or so years in both your and the dead c.u.n.t seal."

The Demon Fox took a deep breath to make sure he did not lose his temper and fire his jutsu anyway out of fear of being enslaved or sealed away again. There is still one factor he could do little about, his father spirit, and he was not going to push the sage into actions that he might not be able to counter. He was not arrogant enough to think the sage could do little to him even when he was just a spirit left in the world.

"Now let's get down to my demands with the whole world as my hostage. I should not repeat myself but I will say it again anyway. There will be no sealing or chains of any kind, none whatsoever, if I, Kami be damned, think you are thinking about it, I fire away full throttle and consequences be damned. I have been wrongly imprisoned and enslaved due to no fault of my own or any crime committed. The asshole Hashirama decided I was too dangerous to be left alone and helped seal me in his c.u.n.t of a wife. If they were not dead already I would have demanded their heads on a spike as my first demand. I'm owed a great debt by Konoha and I will get paid." Said the fox in a deep menacing voice laced with chakra to reach the ears of every single Shinobi in a 10 km radius, double the current Konoha blockade around the fox location.

"I want Danzō Shimura brought in front of me and killed. I have already tagged him by his chakra and I know he heard me. There won't be any tricks of any kind, I want him standing in front of me in no longer than 15 minutes and killed. He can slit his own throat for all I care, or you two can split him in half. He dies though, there won't be any negotiation on this matter."

The great fox rose up from his lazy position all the way to balance on his back legs. He crossed his arms with open palms aiming at the opposite directions and said "ticktock bitches".

Every single Shinobi in a large radius started feeling the massive raise of chakra coming from the demon fox. Every single one that heard the fox speaks knew he was not joking or playing around, he will be true to his word if he does not get what he asked for, Danzo's life.

Minato surprisingly was not panicked, or questioned the fox demand. From what he heard and saw from the fox so far is enough to understand him. He did not need a Yamanaka to explain to him the fox current mind state or the reasons for his current demand. It was clear that behind the fox calm facade is a terrified soul. He was scared of being used, of being sealed, of being under someone thumb. If there was a single human being that would actually attempt to imprison the fox no matter what for his own use it would be Danzo. Therefore, in the fox eyes, he must die. Minato also came to the conclusion that the fox was not idle the past 100 or so years while sealed. He has a deep understanding of Konoha and her Shinobi if he went as far as to single out one of their most shadowy figures knowing full well the kind of man Danzo is.

The couples just stood there waiting, there was no need for either of them to do anything as they were sure Hiruzen was on it. They also have a certain understanding of Danzo and that he won't leave his village hanging in the air like this. Say what you want about the war hawk, but he was still loyal to a fault to Konoha.

After six minutes passed in uncomfortable silence between the fox and the hokage family they continued to stare at each other from their two different positions. Suddenly a spike of chakra showed up right in front of the couple as Danzo showed up in a Shunshin.

Danzo looked up at the mighty regal fox with a smile on his face and started to speak "I did not think I broug.." He did not get to finish his sentence as one of the fox tails shot at him in an incredible display of speed and precision in an attempt to impale him. The crippled Shinobi was not feared for just his war mongering ways but also for his position as one of the most powerful Shinobi of Konoha, a simple Kawarimi insured that the beast tail impaled a tree instead of his old broken body.

"I will die the way I want you filthy demon." Said Danzo from where a tree used to be on the side. "Now, I understand you said 15 minutes and there is still no less than 8 minutes left, no? Or is counting down the minutes too hard for you, demon?"

Kurama just glared at the crippled one eyed Shinobi while making sure the couple did not make any surprise move on him.
