The White Demon Fox

'A push and pull, does he have control in between these two abilities? No, he does not, there would be no need for him to lay a trap for Danzo otherwise.' Thought Minato to himself trying to figure out ways around the fox eyes. 'The range and the speed is a major problem, it seems that the fox being composed of chakra is given him a great advantage with those eyes. He does not suffer from any backlash that would come normally when you push too much chakra into any organ, an eye made from chakra what is more chakra to it.'

'The only way to find a key weakness to exploit is to have a fight with him that lasts more than 5 seconds, but we are dangerously close to Konoha. Kushina will not last the whole night, her legs are shaking, she is barely standing, and what the fox said about her past home completely moved her mind away from our current giant fox problem.'

"Our daughter, Kushina! She needs us now more than ever." Said Minato to Kushina in hope that it will lift Kushina out of her funk. It had an immediate effect as Kushina eyes instantly regained it focuses and her legs stopped shaking by sheer well alone.

'What an incredible woman' Thought Kurama as he watched Kushina from the corner of his eye. Kurama moved his focus back again to the blood droplets on his palm and a flash of sorrow went through his eyes. 'I went from a victim to a judge and executioner. I don't know what is worse, the fact that I considered killing or maiming an innocent child, so I can keep Danzo alive longer or that I actually feel sorrow for killing this piece of shit now that I have tasted his blood. I hope I never get used to killing and never get numb to it, I'm a demon who lives with monsters, there is no need for me to be a monster too.'

"A show of good well." Said the fox to the two little creatures. "Bring me the body of the third wife that Obito killed, I shall return her life for the life I took just now".

"What?" Said the couple together in one surprised voice.

"They are called the eyes of Saṃsāra for f.u.c.k sake, you did not think the name is only for street cred, right? I will not play god nor will I do this for any offers or prices, it is an exchange for the life I just took and a one time show of good intentions. So bring me the body of the third recently killed wife and the rest of the nurses that were killed with her." Said Kurama to the two stunned humans.

"Well, yellow flash, what are you waiting for?" Asked Kurama.

Minato had absolute disbelief still on his face. Why would the fox do this for them? They are supposed to be mortal enemies.

"There is no need! We don't need you to bring anyone back to life, you can keep your good intentions to yourself." Said Minato.

'F.u.c.ker.' "Why? I thought you would jump at the chance to bring back the few innocents that died tonight." Said Kurama.

"We don't trust you just as much as you don't trust us. We are your hostages, remember? There is no need to try to put us under the illusion that we are standing on equal footing or that you have any good intentions for any of us." Stated Minato.

'Hostage negotiations? Is he seriously playing hostage negotiations with me? Fine I f.u.c.k.i.n.g fold, there is no reason to push him off the cliff (anymore) than I have already done.' Thought Kurama to himself.

"How do you suggest we move forward then oh great hokage of Konoha?" Said Kurama sarcastically.

"No more killings, no more demands. You say Konoha owes you then we will negotiate a form of payment in village services and monetary gains." Said Minato in an authoritative tone showing a bit of the office he is currently holding.

'You ask for the sun, so I offer the moon instead. This is not too bad for me, especially since they wrongly assumed that I wanted to kill all the seal masters in Konoha. Thanks Danzo, you brilliant dead bastard.' Thought Kurama. 'Now, can I really get my end goal for the night without all the soap drama I planned? Here goes nothing I guess.'

"Naruto, I want you to hand Naruto over to me and renounce all relationsh.i.p.s with her. I know your marriage was a secret and so is Naruto existence. This is my price for moving us to near equal footing" Said Kurama.

Kushina's face instantly paled and lost all blood, her entire blood circulation almost went in reverse from the way her heart contracted. "No, absolutely not, she is innocent in all of this, she was not your jail, and she did you no wrong. You monster, leave my baby out of this." yelled Kushina at the top of her lungs. She held Naruto tightly with her left hand and drew her infamous blade out from her back, she has decided she will die protecting her baby girl.

Minato face went into several shades of unhealthy colors. He was stubbed, why Naruto, what is so special about his daughter that he would trade several people's lives that could seal him away for a hopeless baby.

"Now now Kushi-chan, were you not ready to leave her in my care before you came here to talk to me? What changed? Oh! right, you two were hoping that I would pay child support in chakra when you both kicked the bucket tonight. Sorry but no weapon of mass destruction sealed in a child for little Naru-chan." Said Kurama sarcastically.

"It is not the same and you know it. What would you do with her anyway, how would a chakra monster raise a child and where would you do that. No, you could not be trusted with a cat let alone my baby girl!" Yelled back Kushina.

"Tsk tsk, Kushi-chan, you are talking as if this is up to you. It really makes me wonder if I was the one married to Minato while sealed inside your guts."

"What do you mean?" Asked Kushina as she did not understand where the fox is going with this.

"Simple, you and little Naru-chan are not Minato's top priority. It really makes me wonder, how after being in love with the man for 10 years you still don't understand him. He loves you, yes, but if it between you and the village, he will choose the village every single time without fail. That, of course includes Naru-chan." Said the homewrecker fox.

Kushina scowled at the fox, pretending to understand her husband better than her. Her Minato would never allow this to happen.

"Suppose I did agree to this and renounced Naruto to your care, what then?" Asked Minato as all hesitance disappeared from his face. Kushina did not believe what she just heard.

"Then we negotiate of course, Naru-chan is not my repayment for past transgressions, she is taking the option of killing and maiming out of my hands into demands of services and monetary gains." Said Kurama.

"Within reasons, I won't allow you to demand anything that would harm, weaken, or make Konoha vulnerable to her enemies even if temporary." Said Minato as he steeled his heart as his village leader. How can he ask anyone from the village to sacrifice their children when he is not willing to do so himself.

Kushina is shaking in anger, she did not think her husband would even consider this. She could understand sealing the fox in her daughter but handing her over to the fox is an entirely different matter. After all, only an Uzumaki can handle the fox being sealed in them. This is an exchange, finally realized Kushina, either the vessel life, her daughter, or the lives of the master sealers. It is one or the other for the Fox and Minato chose to give away the vessel instead of the sealers.

She immediately dashed away running to the opposite side of Konoha with the little chakra she had left. She burned the Hiraishin marker that was on her shoulder with chakra and ran as fast as she could. She needed to get her daughter away, away from the monsters.

Minato looked at his wife dashing away and the fox raising up to face the opposite direction of where Kushina ran to. The fox raised his arm and aimed with his palm as he started flaring up his chakra and said "This is your problem, not mine, I better get back my Naru-chan unharmed and her mother body intact if she dies, Kushina's body now belong to her daughter and therefore handed to her guardian, that is me, they are no longer your family. You have no more than 30 minutes."

Minato looked at the fox with absolute loathing as he took aim at his village. The fox will not rest until he ruined everything that is good and pure in his life. He will have his vengeance but for now he has his duty as the fourth hokage to perform. Just like that Minato dashed after his soon to be dead wife. Once Minato was out of sight 6 of Kurama's tails penetrated the ground and an incredible amount of chakra dashed after Kushina and Naruto to insure nothing happened to either of them that was outside his control.

'Forgive me Naruko, I'm doing this for you as much as I'm doing it for myself. You are meant for much more than just the next brainwashed hokage. I will make sure of that, my life partner.' Thought Kurama.

"I expected better from you."

Every single hair on Kurama's back stood like a raised spear as he slowly turned around to see what he had dreaded the most for the better part of the past year.

"Ah... Hi dad."
