"Minato," the black monstrosity, almost growled his words, "Heed my words; you are in danger."

......

Kuroko POV 

My voice is so damn cool. I never thought my voice would be this altered by the might of the logia fruit.I had increased my height to a certain level because of the nature of the flames I controlled. I can alter, grow, and diminish; however, I want these black flames.

Chakra erupted from Minato as the ground and table around him cracked from his pressure. Had I not been in this form, the killing intent alone could have dealt me a lot of damage.

Before I could move a hair in my body, at least the one on fire, Minato moved with a grace and speed that few can boast around the ninja world. At a reaction speed that I couldn't comprehend, a kunai went through my throat, and before I could lift my finger, Minato disappeared from his place.

"Give up, Shinobi," a voice came from behind me. " I can kill you in an instant.".

"Can you?" my deep voice echoed in the room as the kunai Minato was caught up in my flames.

His reaction speed again proved its utility, as the kunai had long since left his hands. All the Anbu could only gaze as the kunai melted into nothingness. If they hadn't seen it, one wouldn't be able to tell if the kunai was ever even there.

'I have to play strong here; it's the only way'. In all this action, only a few seconds had passed; roughly 2 and a half minutes were still left before this invincible transformation would end.

"Listen, fourth Hokage, your village is in danger." I turned around to meet his eyes and said, "I do not come here to attack but to warn.". I could see Minato's hand lowering a bit, his gaze still strong.

"And why should I believe you?" he said.

I had been prepared for this moment since the start. After all the Hokage of the Hidden Leaf, no matter how naive and kind-hearted Minato was shown in the actual work, the Minato of the Hidden Leaf was its kage, and foremost, it's Ninja.

And hence, I prepared the only thing I knew from my meta knowledge to make him believe me—something that only he, Jiraiya, and Kushina were supposed to know.

"Naruto"

A deep silence reigned in the room; the Anbu were stationary,waiting for their kage's order. Countless scenarios were going through Minato's head.

He could even think that I must be spying on him; this could go very wrong. Minato is not someone I would want as my enemy, so I continued.

"Your son, Naruto, is in danger, Lord Fourth.".

Another moment of silence. It felt as if countless minutes had passed, yet if that were the case, I would be long since caught and kept in prison.

' 1 min and 40 seconds ', time is ticking, quick Minato, don't be indecisive, of course I can leave before the time is up, but with his intelligent brain, he could figure out this state has a time limit. The moment my strong facade breaks, I am done.

"I shall believe you for now, "blue eyes stared in the abyss," yet if you even think of doing any harm to my village, then I will make sure you pay for it with your life.".

"Make the Anbu disappear; I wish to talk alone."

The Anbu spoke little words of protest in case the Hokage agreed, yet knowing Minato's nature and his self-confidence, he would agree, and he did.

' Now for the final part, I only have a minute left, and I am already feeling the strain on my stamina.'

As the Anbu left the office, I spoke, "On the birth of your son, Naruto, the village of the leaf will be bathed in the flames of hatred by the nine-tailed fox."

"You mean to sa-" I interrupted Minato; I barely had any time anyway. I had to say it all together while maintaining this facade. I could feel myself visibly tiring, and once I let go of this form, my muscles would cramp up.

'the things I do for this village'

"A one-eyed man who calls himself Madara Uchiha will come to unleash the tailed beast." I continued, "His eye, the Mangekyou Sharingan, can make him intangible, impervious to all attacks."

Minato's eyes widened at this information; an opponent like that can even be said to be invincible.

"However, it has its weakness; he will have to go tangible if he wishes to attack you."

' 20 seconds,I'm so tired; just a little more Kuroko, I can do it,'I m mentally hyped myself.

"His intangibility can only last around 5 minutes; he can also teleport." 

'10 seconds, I gotta rush, I am too late ', I made a spectacular exit by leaving by the same window. Not before leaving a mark on the office wall. 

ACE

I went around the village until Minato couldn't see me, as sensing me in this state was impossible, and crashed on a tree, falling asleep. The moment I did, the mask was charred into nothingness by my flames.

A young Kuroko did his best to change the fate of the village and the main character of the show.

...........

The moment the black flames left the Hokage Office, all the Anbu rushed in to check on the Hokage.

"Hokage-sama, how are you?"

"Did he try to attack you?"

"Is that an enemy of the leaf?"

"Was he sent by the other hidden villages?"

"Is this a sign of a new ninja war?" 

Multiple inquiries reigned in the Hokage Office. The Anbu weren't like the root, emotionless and ruthless; instead, they cared for their Hokage. Yes, they killed, but only as a necessity; they had been brainwashed to do so.

"I am completely unharmed; don't worry. As for what he said, it's confidential, so I am afraid I can't tell you all. "His unwavering eyes looked into each one of them." Just trust me, as your hostage, I will do my utmost best for this village." 

After all the commotion had settled , a bird flew out of the Hokage Office, a letter to Jiraiya to come to the village.

Someone had raised war against the leaf, Madara Uchiha or not, Minato had confidence to save his village or die trying. 

" Ace huh,That is a nice name. It seems I have to grow even stronger"
