Odi: Hi! It's me!

Minato: Well Kushina and I will be alive at the beginning of this fanfic! (And maybe throughout the fic! Depends on how the plot works!)

Kushina: Yeah, and anyone who is waiting on the next chapter of The Only Song I'm Wasting on You do not worry. It has not been abandoned.

Odi: Disclaimer time!

Minato/Kushina: Oderin Kuro-san does not own the Naruto series or the song Eien No Setsuna by On/Off.

Odi: Thanks for doing the disclaimer. Here's some ramen as a reward.

Odi's sis: I'm cutting in since I'm looking over this fan-fic!

Kushina's P.O.V

We smiled happily at our adorable newborn son. He already had some blond hair on his precious head. Our son had sapphire blue eyes, three whisker-like markings on both of his cheeks, and looked all together beautiful.

Minato then said to me, "Kushina I want our son to have the best future possible."

I smiled and whispered, "Me too, Minato, me too."

We grinned and nurse asked, "What will be his name hokage-sama?" to my loving husband.

"Naruto." We said in unison. Then we were left alone to have some time with our son.

We smiled and sang the song we had decided to sing to him.

Kieru koto no nai messeeji eien ni tsuzuku

Itsumademo mune no naka de ikitsuzukeru deshou

Chikaiatta kizuna ha

Itsu kara deshou hanarebanare na no ha

Demo kokoro wa mukashi no mama yurugu koto wa nai deshou

Shinjiteita futatabi aeru koto wo

Kono wakare ga futari no sadame demo

Anata wo machi tsuzuketeru watashi ga iru

Kono subete wo tokihanatte tsutaetai kotoba

Kieru koto no nai messeeji eien ni tsuzuku

Itsumademo mune no naka de ikitsuzukeru deshou

Chikaiatta kizuna ha

Kioku no sen wo nazori nagara kyou mo

Egaiteita anata no kage setsuna sa komiageru

Nasakenai deshou? nanimo teni tsukanakute

Tada hitasura machi tsuzukete imasu

Anata wo mamori tsuzuketa watashi ga iru

Sono subete wo ukeirete chikai au kotoba

Nari yama nai kono messeeji eien ni tsuzuku

Itsumademo mune no naka de ikitsuzukeru deshou

Tsuyoi kono kizuna ha

Anata ja nakya imi ga nai watashi dakara

Kono subete wo tokihanatte tsutaetai kotoba

Kieru koto no nai messeeji eien ni tsuzuku

Itsumademo mune no naka de ikitsuzukeru deshou

Chikaiatta kizuna ha

We smiled again after finishing the song. That is when all hell broke loose.

Minato's P.O.V.

A man in a strange mask was holding our son, and making death threats! How dare he! I could see the fear in Kushina's eyes, she feared for our son. I was beyond pissed.

I hirashinned over to my son and grabbed him out of -masked-man's grasp.

Naruto was making heartbreaking wails. I hirashinned to our house quickly.

I became even angrier when I realized that I left my wife with that creeper. I gently put Naruto on the bed and used hirashin again to rescue my beloved wife.

I was too late to stop the strange man from extracting nine-tails from Kushina, but I was in time to see that she survived it and that I could still get her to safety.

We soon made it back to our wonderful son. I was regretting a decision I knew I would soon have to make. But, I would have to do it, for my son, and for the village.

The thing I hope for most is that Kushina would at least make it through all this, and that the villagers would treat Naruto like the hero that he is.

I picked Naruto up, and shunshinned to where the kyuubi was. I was planning to use Shiki fuujin to seal half of the nine-tails's chakra in myself and shiki fuuin to seal the other half in my son. That way half of the kyuubi would be in the shinigami's stomach with me.

Before I could use the jutsu, though, the third hokage pushed me out of the way, and stated, "I will perform the jutsu, Minato." To say I was shocked was an understatement. "Why, would you do this for me, Sarutobi-sama?" I asked.

"You have a son, a wife, and a team of ninjas to live for, Minato," the third said, "But, I have already lived my life, you are young, so you still have a lot to do and see."

He then performed the jutsus and sacrificed himself. His last words were, "Take good care of Naruto, Kushina, Kakashi, Rin, Obito, and the rest of this village, Minato."

I said respectfully, "I will Sarutobi-sama." He then died, and I whispered, "Rest in Peace third hokage-sama."

I now had a lot more to do, including beginning the reparations of Konoha, taking care of my family, and the former Hokage's funeral. I also had to make sure no one kidnapped, killed, hurt, or tried to kill my son for being the host of the nine-tails, as well as being my son.

But, as hokage it was all a part of the job, like leading the shinobi, protecting the village, watching over the citizens, and all that kind of stuff. So, I was ready to perform all of my duties, already having known what they would bring. I only hated doing the endless piles of paperwork, after all it was every kages' worst enemy.

I got back to my family, after I talked to all the shinobi I passed, and talking with people who had lost loved ones. I even saw Kakashi, Rin, and Obito.

I laughed at Obito's childish antics, they could actually cheer me up at a time like this. It made me hope that Naruto would have some of Obito's characteristics. Not the stupidity, but the loyalty to his teammates, the innocence, inner strength, determination, and so much more.

I smiled at Kushina and handed her our little bundle of joy. He had fallen asleep while I was walking home. I remembered my former comrades, and students reactions to seeing little Naruto. Obito had laughed and asked if he could be Naruto's uncle, Rin had smiled, then being the medic nin she is gave him a check-up, and Kakashi had even smiled at him.

Kushina had been relieved that both men in her life had returned home alive and unharmed. I remember the laugh of absolute relief that she had let out when she saw us.

I was glad that our family was able to be completely reunited without any of us being dead. After all, it was a small enough family to begin with, thus, we did not need to sustain any more losses. Kushina and I were the last members of our clans, and now Naruto was a member of both our clans.

We still had a lot to look forward too. Like our son's first word, step, smile, laugh, and whatever career he decides to take. No matter what he chose, we both knew we would be proud of our young son.

We had a hopefully bright future ahead of us.
