"Lord Hokage, the Kyuubi has resurfaced and is making a scene in the middle of town. What are your orders?"

The Third sighs.

'I have been blind for too long. My trust in my predecessor has left me unable to see what needed to be done.'

He looked over at a painting of the smiling Fourth Hokage on his wall.

'I'm so sorry Minato. I cannot endanger the village, not for a promise I made to a dead man.'

He looked back at the shinobi in his room, his eyes hardening.

"Seal it away. We will not endanger the village any more than we already have. I cannot allow him to rampage through my village."

A blonde haired whiskered child stands in the middle of the street, red chakra pouring off of him in waves. Shop stalls lie scattered around him, blown over and smashed to bits. Little bits of human gore are sprayed onto him and spread all across the streets, a teddy bear hangs off of the roof; blood slowly dripping on the ground. Suddenly, seven ANBU shinobi appear, each of them performing the same series of hand signs. They bit their thumbs and smash their hands on the ground.

A large cloud of white smoke forms where the shinobi were located, centered on the small child. When it clears five pillars stand in a pentagram shape around him. The pillars were decorated with different animal heads, but they all shared one common factor; each of them had a panthers head at the very top, frozen in the middle of its roar, facing threateningly towards the demon in the middle.

Soon, chains of pure chakra began to form between each of the pillars. The demon in the middle lets loose a mighty roar as a large red claw sprung out of the cloak on his back and made a swing at the pillars. It was deflected by one of the chains.

The child's face contorted into one of unnatural anger. He bared his teeth;

"I WILL MAKE YOU ALL SUFFER!"

The forming of the chains sped up. Soon they formed a pentagram, surrounding the demonic child. The red chakra began swiftly flowing away, being absorbed by the chains. The demon growled, and tried to once more lash out at the offending object. This time however, there wasn't even a need to deflect the arm; it was simply absorbed as soon as it got close to the chains. The child crouched down low to the ground, his nails digging deep into the dirt below.

"I WILL MAKE YOU PAY, HOW DARE YOU SEAL ME INSIDE OF THIS WEAK, PATHETIC MEATBAG. HIS BODY IS ALREADY BURNING UP, EVEN WITH THIS MINISCULE AMOUNT OF CHAKRA. YOU CAN NEVER DEFEAT M-"

At that moment, all of the red chakra disappeared. The child's limbs gave way, his body hitting the ground with a loud thud. The pillars disappeared in a cloud of white smoke. The ANBU stood up, relieved.

"The threat has been eliminated."

A dog masked one with a gravity defying grey hairdo stepped out. He calmly walked over to the child, giving him a quick once over. Deciding that he was healthy enough he slung the kid over his shoulders and turned to a cat masked ANBU.

"Cat, inform Lord Hokage that the mission has been successful. We have dispatched of the threat and that I will be moving him to the Shīru-shitsu right now. He is too dangerous to be free, at least with the village's current strength."

Dog turned around, and made to body flicker away. At the last second he hesitated and turned around again.

"Also Cat, tell him that I agree with his decision."

Cat nodded.

"Yes sir."

Both of them disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

Kakashi felt himself phase through the wall. Shuddering a little bit at the uncomfortable feeling he made sure that the child was still secured on his back as he began moving down the hallway. It was completely silent and pitch black here. It was unnerving, it was unnatural. This was not supposed to be here and Kakashi wanted to get out as fast as possible.

'I wish that Minato had been right. How could he have been so mistaken on what the sealing technique would do? There's no way he would have told us to give the kid a normal life if he had known what the result would be?'

He shrugged, and decided that he had walked far enough. He crouched down and let the child slide onto the floor. Squatting down on the ground, he hesitated.

'I need to do this. A shinobi must always put the mission first. A shinobi must never show any weakness.'

Kakashi stood up and began walking away.

"Goodbye kid. I wish that things weren't this way, I wish that they were different."

Suddenly, the hallway started lighting up red. Kakashi wheeled around and there the demon was again, red chakra once again pouring off of him in waves.

"It doesn't need to be this way, Kakashi. You could always be dead."

The demon lunged after him, due to years of training, Kakashi was able to dodge his attack. He jumped past him and began running towards the end of the hallway, the demons chakra invoking a deep, primal sense of fear.

"Come back, human. We only just STARTED!"

The demon leapt after Kakashi, a claw of chakra forming and missing him by a hair's breadth. He pulled himself together and turned to face his foe.

It didn't last long; Kakashi launched a kick at the child's midriff and slammed him straight into the wall, leaving an imprint of his young body. Travelling the last few feet to the wall, he put his hand on it and said the two final words that this child would hear for an incredibly long time.

"Goodbye, Naruto."

And then he was gone, leaving Naruto embedded in the wall, red chakra still seeping off of him.
