(Book 1 of an Insane Genius series) In an alternate timeline parallel to the original Narutoverse, Minato and Kushina survive Kyuubi's attack and have twin sons instead of just Naruto. After the destructive Demon Fox is sealed inside their newborn children they breath a sigh of relief and lower their guards as things started to look up for the family until (the real) Madara kidnaps their firstborn son later that same night demanding control over Konoha in exchange for their son to be returned safely. Given the choice between his son and the village, what will Minato choose? Raised by the vengeful Uchiha Ghost, Kazan bears an intense disliking towards all Shinobi Villages for following Hagoromo's faulty Creed which Madara blames for the chaotic state of the world. But what will he do about this problem and how does Madara intend to use him in his plan to cast the Infinite Tsukuyomi? This first book of the series follows Kazan in the first decade of his life. During this time he is faced with extremely difficult choices and strong opponents ranging from Kabuto, and Black Zetsu, to a member of the Otsutsuki clan, a mysterious new threat called the Black Fox and an unexpected mastermind behind the scenes. What events will take place in this alternate universe? Things to know before reading: 1) This is an AU and things are much more different than in the Narutoverse. 2) Characters look and act differently compared to the canon verse. 3) Events that happened in the original series may/may not happen here. 4) Later scenes may contain strong language. 5) Characters are super OP. 6) I am an inexperienced writer so please bear with me on this journey.
