AN: Hey everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my first fanfic, I hope you enjoy it =) I am not sure how often it will be updated as I do have other priorities since I am studying to become a software developer.
Anything in italics can be safely assumed to be thought unless in part of speech.
"WAAAAAAAH!" A cry splits the night as Kushina Uzumaki smiled down at the small face surrounded by blankets. "Kushina.. I know you are tired, but we must finish the seal." Kushina looks over to her husband and nods slightly, as Minato places his hands over the seal and begins to mould his chakra a thud is heard on the other side of the room, along with more crying from the new born child. "Step away from the Jinchuuriki, Fourth or your child will die at the ripe old age of one minute old." Minato's head whips to where the voice came from. Standing there is a man in a black robe, his face covered by a mask with only one eye visible; said eye was staring at Minato and Kushina with the intensity only the sharingan can manage. "Naru-" Minato was interrupted as the masked man drops the child, forcing Minato to move at an incredible speed to catch the falling infant. "Heh, seems you live upto your namesake, the yellow flash, however..." Minato notices explosive tags on the blanket as the Robed man finishes his sentence. "Shit!" Minato quickly throws off the blanket and disappears in a flash of yellow.
"I have waited a long time for this moment, the Kyuubi will be mine!" The Robed Man's sharingan suddenly rotated and morphed to form something that was but also was not the Sharingan. "UWAHHHHHHHHHH!" Kushina's scream of pain ripped through the otherwise silent night as the Kyuubi was forcibly ripped from her body, the seal offering little resistance in it's birth weakened state. Once done, the man turns and looks at Kushina, a smile playing across his although unseen to Kushina due to the mask. "It is only natural that a being as mighty as the Kyuubi should kill the person who held it prisoner for so long." The masked man began to walk away but noticed the Kyuubi had not yet moved, once again the masks conceals his expression, however the slight closure of his visible eye indicated to Kushina that he was annoyed. His eye swirls once more and Kushina closes her eyes as the Kyuubi's paw rushes down to meet her. A moment later she hears the wailing of a child, opening her eyes she sees her daughter next to her. Through her tears she whispers "Thank you, Minato.. And be careful." Minato merely nods as he places on his Hokage's jacket.
Having defeated the Masked man who claimed to be Madara Uchiha, the fourth Hokage now set his sights on the Kyuubi who was about to unleash a large black ball of chakra, he quickly used his Hiraishin to close the distance between himself and the kyuubi and then to move the kyuubi to a location where there would be no damage to the village.
"I don't know what to do... I haven't the chakra to stop her completely." Kushina said through her tears, as Minato gently let her down after having moved her from the cabin that she and Naruko had been residing in, the second she touches the ground she uses her chakra to create long chains that bind the kyuubi, stopping it from moving or creating more chakra balls. "There's only one option left, I'll drag her into myself using the last of my chakra and die with Kiyu. My only regret is that I won't be able to see our daughter grow up" Kushina said, a pained expression on her face. Minato only shook his head. "We can't do that, Kushina. When the Kyuubi eventually comes back, she will have lost her memories and be nothing more than a wild beast." Minato gently held her and Naruko as he says this. "Then what!?" Kushina yells, becoming more and more distressed. "You made me your husband, you made me the fourth hokage, -you- made me a father. I'll seal the kyuubi into Naruko along with our Chakra using the Eight Trigram Seal so that we can see her when she is older." Minato smiles lovingly at Kushina "However... I cannot forcibly seal the whole Kyuubi into Naruko, so I must use the Dead Demon Consuming Seal first." Upon hearing this Kushina is horrified and begins to try and reason Minato out of this, Minato however remains resolute.
Giving Kushina another smile he begins the seals for the seal, but as soon as he makes the first seal a voice flows into their minds, the familiar voice instantly capturing the attention of Minato and Kushina. "Minato, Kushina... I cannot hold out for long, the backlash of the technique used against me is too much, however - I can offer another solution.. There is another seal that can be used with my assistance, which will offer your daugher some protection in the future, as I am sure you both know, Jinchuuriki are often hated and only seen as monsters. The two of you will still die but Naruko will be safer for it." Without hesitation Minato and Kushina nod their heads towards the Kyuubi. Suddenly red chakra flows along the chains between Kushina and the Kyuubi and envelopes Kushina and spreads to Minato.
Minato, now covered in the Kyuubi's chakra presses his hand to Naruko's stomach and yells "Demonic Eight Trigram Seal!" Sealing runes quickly spread outwards from Naruko, enveloping his parents and the Kyuubi and drawing them into the seal on her stomach. "We will see you soon, Naruko." Minato whispers as he is lastly consumed completely by the seal. As the seal finishes a flash of red lights the sky, the Third hokage is the only one present to see what that flash truly did; where once the daughter of the fourth hokage layed now lays a boy. Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned slightly but retrieved the boy as soon as the barrier dissapted with Minato's death. "We shall call you Naruto, I guess... That was what your parents wanted." If you had been a boy. Hiruzen frowned again at his last though, however he nods knowing that he was the only one now left alive who knew the original sex of the child.
