Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Lullaby for a stormy night
The sky is bringing a down poor of rain signaling what is about to become a day of sorrow, hatred, and the birth of the child of prophecy.
Konoha is in chaos. The greatest of the Biju is attacking, The Kyuubi no Youko. Inside the hospital the soon to be hero is being born.
Uzumaki Kushina had never felt this much pain in her entire life. Medics are franticly trying to help the injured and make sure the Yondaime's wife and child survive child birth. With one final push the baby is born, the baby has blond hair and the most beautiful pair of cerulean eyes.
The baby won't stop crying fearing the rain and feeling the oppressive power of the great demon. The medics are frantic to stop the baby for if this continues the baby will die because he was born prematurely.
The slowly dieing mother asks for her baby and starts to sing a song to calm him.
Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Little child
Be not afraid
The storm clouds mask your beloved moon
And its candlelight beams
Still keep pleasant dreams
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
The wind makes creatures of our trees
And the branches to hands
They're not real, understand
And I am here tonight
And someday you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forest and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
For you know, once even I
Was a little child
And I was afraid
But a gentle someone always came
To dry all my tears
Trade sweet sleep the fears
And to give a kiss goodnight
Well, now I am grown
And these years have shown
Rain's a part of how life goes
But it's dark and it's late
So I'll hold you and wait
'til your frightened eyes do close
And I hope that you'll know
That nature is so
This same rain that draws you near me
Falls on rivers and land
And forests and sand
Makes the beautiful world that you see
In the morning
Everything's fine in the morning
The rain will be gone in the morning
But I'll still be here in the morning
The baby's cries subside after hearing the gentle and loving voice of his mother. By the end of the song the baby has fallen asleep and his mother whispers her final words to him.
"No matter what you do I will always love and be proud of you my son…Naruto-Kun"
And with that Uzumaki Kushina passed away.
Shortly after the Yondaime arrived and found his wife dead and his son sleeping in her arms. Tears leak from his eyes, but he knows he has no time to mourn because the Kyuubi still needs to be stopped. He prepares Naruto for the sealing. His final words to his son before he went to stop the demon were "I love you and become the hero I know you can be my son".
It is the day of the Sandaime's funeral and everyone in the village has come to pay their respect. Slowly the Shinobi look towards the area to where the Rookie Nine and their sensei are and they start to hear a song through the rain.
It was coming from "Konoha's most unpredictable ninja" Uzumaki Naruto.
Little child, be not afraid
The rain pounds harsh against the glass
Like an unwanted stranger
There is no danger
I am here tonight
Little child
Be not afraid
Though thunder explodes
And lightning flash
Illuminates your tearstained face
I am here tonight
Later when the rest of the Konoha 12 and their sensei ask what the song was he responds.
"It is all I have to remember my mother by"
The answer leaves them shell-shocked and all they can do is stare at his back as he walks away to the Hokages' Mountain.
The End
