Minato and Kushina have been preparing for the baby that will be coming soon. Minato has bought many toys, while Kushina has been dealing with a weird craving for ramen. "Minato! Do you think you could go out and buy more ramen?" After no response, Kushina remembers that Minato is out on another mission. She's thinking about going out to Ichiraku ramen. Although she didn't feel like walking, the baby in her womb says "If I don't taste ramen in the next hour I will kick you!" Due to pure laziness she decides to go to bed instead.

By the time Minato returns it is late at night and Kushina is asleep. Minato with a bag in hand goes to the bedroom where Kushina is sleeping. He looks at Kushina with happiness. "I'm going to be the best father I can be." He sheds one manly tear and thinks about whether the baby will like him or not. Minato pictures teaching his baby the art of ninjutsu and develops a huge grin on his face. Realizing how late it is, he goes to the kitchen and lays the bag on the counter. Inside the bag is tomorrow's dinner: Barbecue and Miso ramen, and a few scrolls that will help him prepare for the coming child. Minato takes the scrolls with him to the bedroom and places them next to the toys he bought. Minato drifts to sleep with the future in mind.

In the morning Kushina wakes up to Minato reading a scroll. "Whatcha reading?" Kushina asks with a yawn. "Its a child guide for new parents. Look it has solutions for almost everything! How to stop crying, knowing when to feed, how to change the diaper, child safety, and much more! Here take a look." He gives the scroll to Kushina with an excited smile. She looks over it, amazed at how this made her husband so excited. She opens the scroll and examines it. "Wow! It almost has all of the info need for a child." Minato with a confused look on his face, "What do you mean it Almost has everything?" "Well I don't see a section for jinchuuriki mothers...What are we going to do Minato? How will we conceal the 9 tails?" Minato wipes the tears out of her eyes. "Kushina, don't worry...I've had a talk with the third Hokage. All nurses have been trained for this. The 9 tails won't be released and you will be ok." Minato hugs Kushina "Thank you Minato. Oh my gosh, Minato the baby's kicking!" Minato quickly but gently puts his hand on Kushina's belly and is amazed at the force of the kicks. "Wow! He will be a strong boy!" (Deep inside the womb of Kushina) With every word there is a kick. "Where. The. Heck. Is. My. Ramen?!" "Umm, Minato can you go out and buy some ramen for me?" Minato, feeling proud of himself for thinking ahead of time, goes to the kitchen and whips up a bowl of Miso ramen. "Here you go. I'll be back. I have to meet with Hiruzen."

Minato and Hiruzen met at The Yakiniku Q.(BBQ) They talk more about the birth of his child and how they will handle it. "Ok Minato. We will have Anbu forces with Kushina just in case something were to happen with the 9 tails. Due to the possibility of the 9 tails being released, we will have Kushina give birth to her child far away from the Leaf village and there will be a barrier around the building." Minato is happy that his wife will be in the safest environment. "Understood. Thanks Hiruzen."

Day of Birth

Kushina has just given birth, but there is a surprise

"T-Twins?! Kushina, twins! Oh my God, I have to buy more toys!" Minato is scrambling around the private hospital in excitement. The nurses look at Minato like he's crazy. "Should we get him a sedative?" With all of the craziness going on, Kushina is trying to think of the name for her newly born babies. "Wow...Minato this little guy looks just like you! He has your blonde hair and your blue eyes." Kushina gives Minato the baby for a closer look. "Wow, you're right. But he has your nose." The baby in Kushina's arms starts crying. Kushina begins rocking it in her arms and the baby starts crying immediately, showing his green eyes. "This baby reminds me of you Minato...He likes attention." Kushina winks. "I'll name him Mino." The baby smiles when his mother says his name. "Look! He likes it!" Minato is focuses on the baby in his arms. "Hey Kushina. What do you think of the name Naruto?" Kushina looks at Minato admiring the name he gave his son. "I love it!" Minato gives the baby back to Kushina. Kushina sees a blur and wonders what it was. She sees it again, but it is a strange figure, and this time its holding a baby. Kushina with one baby missing fills with fear. "Minato!" Minato sees a masked man with one of his babies in arm. "Hmm...Naruto is it? What a nice baby! It would be a shame if it were to die..." Minato filling with anger charges at the masked man but is easily kicked back. "You fool! Don't take me lightly. I have more power than you realize...You see, I will rule this world. Starting with the Leaf village!" With great speed the masked man takes Kushina and Naruto. Kushina intentionally drops Mino on the bed and is taken. Minato quickly goes after them.

Mino is left alone for over an hour. Due to the crash of buildings and screams Mino starts crying. "Now, Now Mino...Its ok...You're with me now...I'll treat you right. I'll teach you everything I know, and then some...Together, we will rule the Ninja World!
