The begining part 1
A calm wind blew gently through the night; the serene forest unsuspecting of the events to unfold. It was, unfortunately, a serenity short-lived, as an ear-piercing howl resounded beneath the forest canopy. Hidden in the leaves, the tiny village of Kanoha was roused from its slumber. The people of Kanoha stirred from their beds and shuddered in fear, for they knew the howl was a portend to something horrible: the nine-tailed fox… the Kyuubi-no Kitsune.
Soon, a thunderous alarm blared through Kanoha, and the civilians within the village began a frenzied retreat to their nearest shelter. Guarding their exodus were Kanoha's brave guardians, the ninja, busily preparing the village's humble defenses. Atop the East wall, nearest the forest gate, stood a man of white hair and wispy beard. Seemingly unmoved by the frantic actions within his village, he took a long, slow drag from the simple pipe clutched casually to his mouth. His eyes shifted, anticipating the arrival of one of the Anbu, the elite ninja of Kanoha. In a cloud of ashen smoke, the Anbu appeared just where the wise old man expected him to.
"Sarutobi-sama," the Anbu said, clad in black and donning a dog-faced porcelain mask, "All of our men are gathered." Sarutobi let out a sigh and let his gaze fall on all the ninja below, their eyes affixed upon him. 'I may not have the title of Hokage anymore,' Sarutobi thought wistfully, 'but whether I'm called the Fire Shadow or not, these men will still seek my guidance.' The Anbu shifted uneasily. Sarutobi realized the time for words had come.
"Hai!" The ninja answered in unison and set immediately about their task. Sarutobi took a moment to regard the brave ninja, reassured by their fearless adherence to his order, and spun to face the village proper. He moved toward the hospital, sparing no haste, for he knew that within its protective walls he would find the "Fourth".
Hospital
As he entered the hospital, an attending nurse looked up from her work and acknowledged him with a brief, yet respectful bow of her head. She motioned for him to proceed down the hall. "The 'Fourth' is in the maternity ward, Sarutobi-sama."
"Arigato," Sarutobi nodded, making his way past her and into the hallway. He saw two men in the waiting area he came to at the end of the hall: Sarutobi's former student Jiraiya and his student, Minato Namikaze. The two men were locked in an argument with one another, Minato pacing nervously.
Calm down, Minato," Jiraiya looked at Minato and sighed. "Everything is gonna be okay!" The young Hokage looked up at Jiraiya and let out a nervous laugh, placing his hand behind his head.
"You know why I'm anxious," Minato replied. "Besides that I am still pretty much condemning my son. At least with his mother he will have some semblance of a normal life. What I really want is for everyone to see him as a hero. He will be protecting this entire village his entire life without even knowing it... Still I know how people are and he will have a hard life even with his mother alive." Minato shook his head, breathed deep, and sat down awkwardly.
"Now, now boys, you should not be fighting. This is a happy day." Sarutobi said defusing the tense mood. As this is going on the men hear a loud cry in the next room. Minato jumps up and starts to head to the room to see his son when they all here a second cry start.
Minato stops confused. He looks over to Jiraiya and Sarutobi. "Did I hear what I think I heard?" Minato asks.
A few seconds later a lovely young woman with long black hair that comes down to her mid-back and white pupil-less eyes came out of the room. " You may see them now Hokage-sama." said the young woman. She seem exhausted as she herself was pregnant carrying her first daughter. She smiled as she said this.
"Thank you , Ashiya-chan, and what did I tell you about calling me that when we were not in public. You know how I hate formalities." She giggles a little. With a serious look on his face he continues. "Also do not forget what I told you. I don't want the Hyuuga elders near him unless it is absolutely necessary."
"Yes well, What should I tell Hiashi-kun? You know he will not want his friends son out on the street." Said Ashiya as she looked at the man standing before her.
"I know but it's best for my son. I don't want the Hyuuga elders to turn him into a weapon just to defend their bloodline. Even though our children are betrothed I still want to make sure the elders don't turn him into a heartless bastard who they will only use to breed more powerful Hyuuga. You now that any kids he has will have an awesome amount of chakra at their disposal. Plus I think we should see if they fall in love with each other. Even though they will be married on Hinata's sixteenth birthday. They should also find that they love each other."
"Alright Minato-kun, I will do as you say. Now go in and see your wife and your children." Said Ashiya with a smile. Minato looked at the woman like she had grown another head. "Yes, she had twins and the boy was first. Now go." With a shake of his head Minato smiled softly and headed into the room. Ashiya still smiling turn to Jiraiya and Sarutobi and says " Trust me we were all surprised. She has a boy and a girl. So how does it feel to be a grandfather Jiraiya-sensei"
Jiraiya who was still shocked at the news just stared at the room that Minato had just entered. At the mention of his name, Jiraiya shook himself out of his stupor and smiled "Well This is the best surprise we've had for a while. Now how should we celebrate after all the work is done." With this being said every ones mood shifted. They knew they were about to lose a dear friend.
" We will work the finer points out with Kushina later." Said Sarutobi with a grim look in his eye. ⌠Now, Ashiya, You need to get home and get some rest or you will have Hinata right where you stand. And no complaints go home. You should be safe from the Kyuubi attack since the Hyuuga clan is located on the other side of town." Sarutobi gave the young woman a look that broke no argument from her "Yes Sarutobi-sama." She said as she got up and left. Both Sarutobi and Jiraiya watched her leave and then turned to each other and smiled. They then turned to the door that lead to the room that Minato, Kushina and their children were in and wondered what was going on in their...
hospital room
Minato walked into the room to see a smiling Kushina holding two babies in her arms. He smiles back at her and says "you look beautiful."
"Thank you, Minato-kun" As Kushina looked at her husband with love i her eyes. "It seems we got an extra suprise with this. I named her Sakura."
Minato looked down at the two children his wife held in her arms and smiled. The boy had blonde hai and blue eyes just like his father. The girl had pink hair and green eyes just like her mother.
"So, I need to find some place safe for her now before I fight the kyuubi."Minato said with a pained look in his eye. "I know I'll bring her to your, Shinku Hurono. She will be able to take care of her till you get out to take care of the kids. I will also tell her to adopt our daughter if we bot don't survive."
"Yes, I think it is for the best. At least we are prepared for anything. I guess we should get to writing message for both of them."After that both parents got to write a letter to the children wishing them well and other stuff.
"All right I'll take Naruto and Sakura with me. I wish I could say I'll see you when I get back but, that wont be possible. I'm sorry it had to come to this and I love you."
"I love you to, Minato." Kushina said her last good-bye and as Minato walked out of the door for the last time she cried herself to sleep. Minato walked out of the room and looked at Sarutobi and Jiraiya and nodded
"I need to do one last thing the we can get this thing over with. I wish things could be different but oh well. I'll meet you two with that Minato left the hospital. Sarutobi and Jiraiya looked at each other and noded and did the same to bolster the defenses. What none of the men their noticed was a lone Anbu waiting for them to leave. He jumped up to Kushina's room and entered through the window. As he saw the red haired ninja mom sleeping peacefully. He pulled out a kuni and walked towards her. Finally he reached her and held the tipp of the kuni to her throat instantly waking her up.
The Anbu said "Don't speak or I'll slit your throat. Now you are going to take this pill and fall into a deep sleep. Normally I would not speak to you but my orders are to let you know that you are going to die so that my lord, Danzo, can get your son to turn him into the ultimate weapon. That Kanoha is going to prosper for the rest of its days because of yor death. Your husbands mistake in not leaving any guards to protect you he is to trusting. Once we get rid of Sarutobi, Danzo will be Hokage and the world will fear Kanoha."
With this he put the pill in her mouth and forced her to swallow it. The Anbu watch as she started to fade away into death. All of a sudden He felt something in between his rib and sticking in his heart. As the Anbu fell over with her dieing breath Kushina said "I may be dieing today but I'll take you to the other side with me. Your master can forget about getting my son. We have already taken care of that. He will lose power now as you die with me." And with a last long breath both Kushina and the Anbu die.
