It was a quite night, and a lone figure sat on top of the Hokage Mountain. He had unruly blond spiky hair and deep blue eyes that you could get lost in. He faced off into the distance looking over the Konoha and the few people still awake.

"I knew I'd find you here, gaki" said a white haired man about 6'2" wearing a head band that had the kanji for oil on it.

"Jiraya – sensei what are you doing here" said the spiky blond haired blue eyed man.

The white haired man now identified as Jiraya replied "There's been news that the nine tailed fox demon is head towards Konoha, and I'm here to help in any way I can. Minato.....what are you going to do?"

The blond man now Minato sighed and said "I....I don't know what to do. "sigh" I mean Kushina is going to have a baby soon and then of all the things to happen this appears....I....I'm...I'm not sure sensei, I'm not sure."

"Well gaki, whatever you do I'll be here to help" said Jiraya "Any way, Sarutobi – sensei is looking for you and said if I found you to tell you to meet him in your office"

"....'sigh'......I'm never going to get a break from these types of meetings am I?" "Hehehehe....sorry gaki, but nope, it comes with the job of being the Hokage...Hokage – sama" replied Jiraya.

(Time skip three months)

"Push ... Push..... Push, almost there Kushina; just a little more" said a blond haired woman.

".....I...."huff/puff"...... am......"AHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Kushina

"Whaaaaaaaaa" were the cries of a little blond haired baby.

"Look Lady Kushina he's beautiful" replied a brown haired woman handing the child to his mother.

"Thank You, Shizune and you Lady Tsunade for giving birth to him" replied Kushina

"No thanks is needed we were here to say hi to the little gaki and Sarutobi – sensei any way and heard you were about to go into labour so we decided to take a quick de-tour and deliver the baby for you" replied the blond woman known as Tsunade.

"It was really no trouble at all" replied the brown haired woman named Shizune

"So what are you going to name the little gaki" asked Tsunade

"How 'bout Naruto" replied a male voice from behind them.

As they turned around and saw a figure walks out of the shadows to show him being the Yondaime Hokage.

"Hokage – sama?" asked the two shocked woman earning a small smile from Minato and Kushina and a little gurgling noise from the small infinite named Naruto.

"EH!!!!..... You're going to name him fishcake!" asked a shocked young male voice from behind Minato.

"Hahahahahaha" laughed a smiling Minato "No, No; of course not Kakashi – kun. His name means maelstrom of course."

"Look Minato he's opening his eyes" said a very tired Kushina "Aren't they beautiful, he looks just like you, hair and all."

"Yes he does look a lot like me" replied a grinning Minato "Are you alright Shi –chan" he asked.

"Tsunade....I think I should tell them" she said giving everyone a weary smile while looking down at Naruto and said "Min –kun, Kakashi – kun; I.... "huff/puff"... might not make it through the night....Tsunade told me this before the delivery.....I'm sorry I didn't tell you.....I...love you and Naruto both....and you Kakashi –kun I loved like a son"

"I.....I....I love you to Shi –chan" replied the now weeping Minato and next to him there stood 15 year old Kakashi at 5'9 weeping next to his father figure for his mother figure about to pass a way, yet again leaving a feeling loss in his life.

"I....I...I'll miss you Kushina –okasan and I loved you like the mother I never had" now openly crying for the first time since his real father's funeral.

"Minato...I'm sorry, but even I can't do anything for her" replied a solemn Tsunade next to a silent Shizune.

"It'....okay, I know you tried your best." said Minato "Hey Gaki, sorry we just heard" as Jiraya entered the room with Sarutobi. "Yes, I too am truly sorry for the three of you" continued Sarutobi

"I think we should leave the four of them together" suggested Sarutobi

"We would very much appreciate that" said a very weary Kushina

They all proceeded to the room door and excited one by one the last one to leave was Jiraya as he turned around to what might have been the last time he ever saw the complete family of his young student altogether.

As he excited he said "Minato....when you're done here me and Sarutobi –sensei need to talk to you 'bout something" and with that he closed the door behind him.

As soon as they excited Kakashi broke down in front of Minato, Kushina, and little baby Naruto. Kushina seeing him like that called him over and as he came she gave Minato, Naruto to hold and warmly gave Kakashi a tight and comforting hug. "Sh...Sh...Sh...It's okay Kakashi -kun... everything will be okay" soothed a tiered Kushina

As his body slowly calmed down he began to talk in a sad voice "Thank you...I....I.....needed that" as he slowly exited the embrace and stood next to Minato.

"Hoka....Minato –otousan, Kushina –okasan....I have some things I need to do I'll leave the three of you together" said Kakashi as he headed towards the door "Good –bye... Otousan, Okasan, Naruto – otouto", he then excited the room and closed the door behind him.

After he had left the room Minato went to Kushina's bed and gave her Naruto as he helped her move a little so that he could hug her and their son in a loving embrace.

They sat in silence until Minato started to speak, "Shi –hime, what I am going to do, I received a report today saying that the nine tailed demon fox Kuyubi no Youko will be here in about 19 hours. I already evacuated everyone and the ninja's are all on standby waiting for orders... I'm not sure what to do"

"I...sure you'll be able to think of something.....after all you are Konoha's Yellow Flash and renowned genius and prodigy of the Fire Nation." replied Kushina in a hushed tone of voice letting Minato know it was almost time.

"I have thought of a way....a sealing of some sort, but the cost is......" he left the words unsaid and immediately Kushina understood. She looked up at him from the embrace and gave him a warm caring smile not one of worry or regret or even unease and said "I had a feeling it would come to that type of method so I had guardians all set up just in case something were to ever happen to the both of us,...... although I never thought I'd have to use it. I left a letter for you and Naruto back in the Namikaze compound in Naruto's room that leaves my last words for him and who will be his legal guardians."

"What about Kakashi, even though we treat him like a son we never had the time to actually finish the adoption papers" Minato replied softly.

"I know...it was going to be a surprise for him, but now I think we'll leave it for Naru –chan to finish when he's older" replied Kushina in an almost silent voice.

They sat in complete silence except for the occasional gurgling noise made by Naruto.

Slowly Kushina's breath began to slow "Minato....I.....I love .....You....Naruto.....and Kakashi.....very.....much...." with those words she said in a slowly fading voice she passed away still in her husband's embrace and still holding Naruto.

Slowly tears began to stream down Minato's face as he wept silently along with the silent crying Naruto in his mother's embrace and slowly fading warmth.

He slowly took Naruto from her hands and put him on the small bed next to Kushina's and slowly got off the bed and laid her down gazing at the soft smile she had on her face. He gently put the covers over her and gently took Naruto out of the small bed.

He made a hand sign and a said "kage bunshin no jutsu" and then suddenly a clone appeared he gave him a silent command and then said "Shunshin no Jutsu"

He appeared in Naruto's room and retrieved the letters and then Shunshined to his office in the Hokage tower.

(Meanwhile with the clone)

As the clone exited the room with his hair covering his eyes he saw Kakashi, Tsunade, and Shizune all there waiting for him and Naruto to come out.

The clone spoke in a sad tone and said "She...She...She's dead....." the clone choked out then poffed out of existence.

After hearing that they all went inside the room and saw her lying there with a small smile gracing her lips.

Tsunade began to get teary eyes; Shizune had small tears running down her checks while Kakashi stared for a few minutes the poffed out of the room to his apartment and began to cry once more in the darkness of his bedroom.

(In the Hokage Tower in Minato's office)

A poff was heard in the office and the two men inside were face to face of a sombre looking Minato with a quiet baby in his arms.

In a soft tone he told them "Jiraya –sensei, Sarutobi, Kushina.....she's....." he left the words unsaid but both understood what he meant. Recomposing himself he said in a serious tone "Jiraya –sensei I need you to stay at the front of the western gate and direct the Jounin there to hold off the beast as long as possible until I get there", a quick "Hai" was heard and Jiraya poffed out of the room heading towards the western gates.

After he left Sarutobi and Minato both looked at each other for a brief moment until Minato turned around and faced the window that over look the streets of Konohagakure.

In a soft tone he said "Sarutobi, what I'm about to do will probably leave this village in a state of trouble," he paused then continued "I'm going to do a sealing technique that will send the Kuyubi no Youko back to the world it came from and will never be able to come back" Minato turned to face him with tears running down his face "I'll be able to stop it but....the cost is my life....so when I die I want you to be the Hokage once again" going into his pocket he pulled up a scroll with a gold band and handed it to Sarutobi and continued to talk "Inside that scroll is my will and last testament to the village as well as a separate scroll for Shiro Uchiha that I want you to give him in private." He said as he looked right into the eyes of Sarutobi.

"Wait...what...what about your son are you going to leave him by himself?" asked a shocked Sarutobi

"No...No one knew Kushina and I were married so you will not tell anyone we where....as for the people who knew and knew she had a child you will tell all of them including Tsunade, Shizune, Jiraya, and Kakashi that he died during the Kuyubi attack" said Minato in a serious voice then continued in a soft voice he was well known to have and said "The scroll I gave you will tell you what will happen to him and after Shiro receives his scroll all will become clear" he ended with a small smile.

"Al...Alright I'll tell them, but where will I keep him until then?" asked a still shocked Sarutobi.

"Over here in this room that is hidden behind a blood seal" replied Minato in a soft voice showing Sarutobi the seal and the room behind it then said "It will react to your blood so you won't have to worry and it's completely sound proof and has a alert seal that connects to the seal under the chair that will send a little vibration through the chair to tell you if he needs anything."

Sarutobi looked at the room then back at Minato and did this a two more times and then sighed and replied "Alright...I'll do what you asked"

(Time skip 18 and half hours later)

"Hold the demon a little longer until the Hokage can get here" was yelled by a Jounin on the battle field.

"Kuchiyose no Jutsu" was yelled out and soon a giant toad appeared on the battle field yells of "Hokage –sama" was heard.

The toad spoke and its bumming voice was heard as it said "Minato, what's going on?"

"No time Gamabunta...The Kuyubi any Youko is attacking and I need you to hold him off so I can finish my jutsu to stop him" yelled Minato so that Gamabunta could hear him.

"Alright gaki, but after this you owe me an explanation" Gamabunta yelled as a replied.

As Gamabunta attacked the giant fox with it nine tails swaying uncontrollably Minato went through 25 different hand seals as quickly as possible not wanting any more destruction to befall the village.

As he finished the last seal a loud yell was heard as he said the name of his new jutsu designed to seal the great beast "Akuma Gyakumodori Chouin no Jutsu*" after the yell a yellow light enveloped the great beast, Gamabunta, and the Yondaime Hokage.

As the light faded there stood Gamabunta with no trace of the demon fox anywhere and on top stood the Yondaime with his coat flowing in the wind. As they cheered the body of the Yondaime slowly swayed and started to fall towards the earth.

Some saw this and began to yell his name and they all rushed to where he would land, luckily Gamabunta heard their yells and caught Minato with his tongue and put him gently on the ground and poffed out of the area.

As the smoke cleared Kakashi landed in the clearing looking for his father figure and sensei and started to call out his name.

He heard a coughing noise and ran towards the noise. There he saw his sensei lying on the ground face up looking at the sky and coughing violently.

He ran towards him and gently shook him and said "Minato –sensei you did it! You saved the village" He looked at his face and noticed his breathing slowing down significantly.

"Kakashi....'cough, cough' ....listen to me" he said while he coughed then continued "Kushina.... 'cough, cough'.... and I love you very much....... 'cough, cough' be strong and... 'cough, cough'.....to not..... abandon.....you're..... t...t...team" then he stopped coughing and his breathing slowed and came to a stop.

At that very moment the Sarutobi appeared with the rest of the ninja's from the battle and saw them with tears running down their faces knowing that the greatest shinobi ever to come out of the Village Hidden in the Leaves had just died.

(Three hours later)

Sarutobi once more dressed in the Hokage's robe after being reinstated into office as per will of the Yondaime once again bearing the title of the Sandaime Hokage of Konohagakure.

As he faced the window out looking Konoha he heard a knock and called out "enter" and as he said those words he heard 5 different footsteps enter his office. With a sigh he turned around to see the somber faces of Jiraya, Tsunade, Shizune, Kakashi, and Shiro.

"I guess you are all wondering what I have called each of you hear for?" said the Sandaime in a voice full of sadness and regret that gave the 5 who currently walked in a bad feeling.

With a quite "Hai" from all of them he told them to have a seat which the all complied to and sat down on the couch and chairs that were in the office. Once they were all seated he sat in his chair and faced it towards the window that over looked the village.

Without turning to face them he said in a tone full of sadness and regret and said "Minato and Kushina have passed away as you know" he paused trying to recompose himself and continued "With Minato's death as you know I have once again became the Hokage; 'sigh' and I am sorry to inform you all that during the attack little Naruto died due to the pressure emitted from the beast" and with that said he turned around to see the looks of utter disbelief, sadness, and many tears dropping from their faces.

"I know you are all sadden by the news so go home and rest for a while" he said in a caring and understanding tone of voice and once more turned to face the village as they all got up and about to open the door he once again spoke and said "Shiro, please stay awhile I have ....Some things we need to talk about."

With a small and soft "Hai" the others excited the room while he remained in the room. Once the door closed shut behind the last one to exit he turned around once again facing Shiro with his hands crossed in front of his face giving him a look of total seriousness, and with that face Shiro knew that whatever he had to say he better not ask any questions until he was finished talking.

"Shiro, I have something that I would like to give to you from Kushina and Minato......I know this might be quite a shock knowing that your sister is dead as well as your brother –in –law who taught your younger brother Obito and knowing that your nephew passed away without you even seeing him, but this is important and he said to read it in this very office as soon as I gave it to you" said the Sandaime in a voice that held sadness

With that said he handed Shiro the scroll and opened it and read the contents of the scroll.

Dear Shiro –otouto,

If you're reading this then that means that I have passed away and that so has your Oniisan Minato. In case of our deaths you are being named as the first guardian to our son and your nephew Naruto Uchiha Namikaze Uzumaki. The last name being Uzumaki because of his father's alias as Arashi Uzumaki. As you have read you are the first guardian the second and third being Jiraya and Kakashi –kun, but with our deaths they are not fit to care for a child much less an infant with Jiraya's hermit life style and Kakashi still being an upstart Anbu.

If you are told that Naruto –kun has passed away in the attack of the Kuyubi then you are mistaken that was told to everyone who knew I was going to have a child and that Minato and I were married so that the child's life may be spared of all the assassination attempts on his life as a result of who his parents are.

In addition to being his guardian otouto, Minato –kun and I leave you the representative of the Namikaze clan as you are the only one related to him, although not by blood, alive and able to be the clan head representative being his brother –in –law.

Take care of him and thank you otouto.

From,

Kushina –oneesan and Minato –oniisan

Tears started to flow freely down his face as he read the letter over and over again. He looked up at the Sandaime and said "Can I see him and take him home with me today?" with a slightly shaking voice.

The Sandaime smiled and said "He's right over here, although you'll probably need to buy him a mask to cover his face...although he does that with his blanket and hands pretty well" he ended with a chuckle.

He led Shiro to the secret room and swiped some blood over the hidden seal and the door opened. They entered the room and there Shiro saw a bunch of blond hair and a tiny baby with his face from the top of his nose down.

"Hehehehe.... you weren't kidding when you said he liked to keep his face covers, were you?" laughed Shiro.

"Hahahahahaha.... no I wasn't joking, the only ones who have seen his face are Tsunade, Kushina, and Minato." said a smiling Sarutobi.
