Kushina lays in the crib with her newborn son looking at him with sadness in her eyes since she knew she was going to die soon. "I...I'll protect you no matter what my precious baby." She says to Naruto whom was sleeping away. Suddenly a giant claw from the Kyuubi struck inside the house almost killing Kushina but was saved by Minato.

After Minato saved Kushina they began to talk about how they were going to stop the Kyuubi. Till Minato has decided to seal it away inside his newborn son much to Kushina's protest but as they were working on the seal the Kyuubi saw what they were doing and attempts to kill the infant but is stopped by Kushina whom uses her body as a shield. She coughs up blood and looks down at Naruto. "Mommy...Mommy will always protect my precious baby."

She says to him as she touches his cheek lovingly. Minato cries but he completes the necessary hand signs and summons the Shinigami whom seals the Kyuubi away inside Naruto. Kushina looks at Naruto one last time as her eyes began lose their light her last words was. "I'll always protect you my baby." She says to him and then dies.

When the barrier is brought down Hiruzen approaches Naruto and tries to pick him up but then a shadow like tendril appears startling the old hokage. When the shadows didn't deem him a threat they pull back as the hokage picks Naruto up and heads towards the orphanage as one idiot villager tries to kill Naruto but ends up getting killed by the same shadow like tendril which acted right away protecting Naruto from danger.

Hiruzen sighs as he felt a huge headache coming as he didn't know why but he had a huge feeling that Kushina was involved in some way. "I'm getting too old for this shit." He thinks to himself and hands Naruto to the head matron whom was killed by the same shadow tendril three days later when she attempted to kill Naruto. One thing for sure things weren't going to be easy.
