What if Minato had decided to seal the Yin half of Kurama into Kushina and save her life? How different would the story be? Would Naruto be stronger because he grew up with his mother's guidance? How much would be different? You will have to read to find out.
Prologue-The Fated Night
Kushina Uzumaki POV-
"Hehe, I'm a father now." Minato, my husband said, wiping his eyes from tears of joy as Naruto came into the world.
"Naruto…we finally meet….." I said weakly, having just given birth to my first born son. He had the same hair as Minato and he also had whisker marks from being fed Nine-Tails Chakra while he was inside me.
Minato quit wiping his eyes and returned to suppressing the seal that kept the Nine-Tails within me. "All right Kushina! It's rough having just given birth…but we need to completely suppress Nine-Tails again!" Minato said.
"Yeah…" I said not as weakly as before but still out of breathe.
Suddenly I heard screams and the sound of two bodies hitting the floor. "Lady Biwako! Taji!" Minato yelled out.
"Fourth Hokage Minato…step away from the Jinchuriki…or else this child will die after its first minute." said a voice that I couldn't recognize. I tilted my head to see a masked man who was holding Naruto in one arm, and he held the other over Naruto's head.
"Ugh!" I yelled as I felt the seal weaken and the Nine-Tails struggling to get free. "Ahhhhhhh!" I yelled out in pain.
"Kushina! Nine-Tails seal isn't…." Minato started to say but was cut off.
"Hurry up and step away from the Jinchuriki. Don't you care what happens to your brat?" The masked man said as he pulled out a kunai.
"Wait…stay calm!" Minato shouted at the man.
"Ughhh, ahhhh!" I screamed as the seal weakened even more.
"Speak for yourself. I'm supremely calm, Minato." The masked man said as he threw Naruto into the air and prepared to stab him.
"NARUTO!" I yelled as loud as I could, terrified that my son was going to die. Thank goodness that my husband is extremely fast, as he was able to catch Naruto in mid-air and land on the wall behind the masked man.
"Leave it to the Yellow Flash…but what about next?" The masked man said as the blanked Naruto was wrapped in started to smoke, revealing that there were paper bombs. I watched as Minato quickly pulled Naruto out of the blanket as the bombs started to go off.
"Minato! Naruto!" I yelled in terror as Minato disappeared in a yellow flash.
As soon as Minato left, the masked man was at my side and grabbed me. He teleported me using some weird Space-Time Jutsu and we ended up at some lake with a bunch of rock formations jutting out from the water. The masked man formed a hand sign and a bunch of seals shot out from the seal on my stomach, wrapping around the rock formations and keeping me in an upright position with my arms out.
"What…do you want?" I asked.
"I'm going to extract Nine-Tails from you and crush the Leaf." The masked man said.
"What…?" I asked breathing heavily still as the seal progressed up my face.
"Minato's Flying Raijinn Jutsu allows him to transport between locations marked with jutsu symbols. The markings are incorporated into this sealing jutsu. Minato can protect you at all times, but he is far away now." The masked man said as he revealed a Sharingan. "Nine-Tails' seal has weakened due to childbirth. Do you know how long I have waited for this?" This masked man asked.
I could only react in shock at what the man was planning. He just stared at me with his Sharingan as I felt the seal weaken to the almost breaking point. The Nine-Tails chakra started surrounding me until a chakra manifestation of the Nine-Tails head completely surrounded me.
"Now…come on out, Nine-Tails!" The masked man said as the seal was completely broken and the Nine-Tailed fox was unleashed. He roared at the moon as he was finally and fully let out, although he was now being controlled by the masked man. I fell down, completely exhausted as my strength was failing. "Good…to the Leaf." The masked man said as he walked away from me.
"Huf, Huf. Wait…" I gasped out.
"You Uzumaki Shinobi are just amazing….you don't die right away when the tailed beast is extracted? The masked man asked as he turned his head toward me and made the Nine-Tails lift his arm and prepared to attack. The Nine-Tails roared as the masked man said "You were his Jinchuriki….I'll let you die by his hand." He made the Nine-Tails send his hand crashing towards me. Minato appeared out of nowhere at the last second and grabbed onto me just as the Nine-Tails struck where we were.
I opened my eyes and saw that Minato had teleported us away to the top of some trees just in time.
"You really are a flash, but you're too late." The masked man said.
"Minato….Naruto….is Naruto….all right?" I asked weakly, barely able to talk or keep my eyes open.
"Yeah, he's fine. He's in a safe place right now." Minato said, smiling weakly. He turned towards the masked man and released a huge amount of Killer Intent.
"…..Oh good….Minato….stop that man and Nine-Tails…..they're planning to hit the Leaf…." I said weakly, sweating a lot. Minato teleported us away to one of his safe houses. "Why…?" I gasped out.
"Shhhh, just be with Naruto." Minato said as he carried me over to where Naruto was sound asleep.
"Naruto…" I whispered as I pulled him closer to me. I closed my eyes and grimaced. I heard Minato go over to one of the closets and pulled out one of his Hokage robes. "Minato….thank you…good luck…." I said as he pulled the coat on.
"I'll be right back." He said before disappearing. I laid there with Naruto for what seemed like moments before Minato was back. He grabbed both Naruto and I and teleported out of the safe house into a clearing where the Nine-Tails was. He didn't seem to be under control of the masked man anymore but he looked angry none the less.
"I've got to erect a barrier right away." Minato said. It was obvious that he was running low on chakra as he was breathing heavily and sweating.
"….I can still….do it…Minato…" I gasped out. I used my chakra and manifested my chakra chains which I used to create and barrier and wrap around the Nine-Tails.
"Kushina rest, you need to be there for Naruto tomorrow." Minato said as he turned his back on me.
"What are you talking about? I'm going to die anyway? I'll take the Nine-Tails with me so that he won't be able to emerge again for a while." I gasped, confused at what Minato was trying to accomplish.
Minato wiped the tears that had started to form from his eyes. "Using the sealing jutsu that you have taught me, I am going to seal my remaining chakra along with half of the Nine-Tails inside of Naruto. But first I am going to seal the yin half of the Nine-Tails chakra into you by using the Reaper Death Seal, so you will be able to live and be there for Naruto." Minato said.
"What?!" I asked shocked. "But you will die if you use that jutsu! Also, why do you want to burden Naruto with being a Jinchuriki?!" I asked shocked and angry. I didn't want that for my son.
"Because I believe that the masked man who attacked you is going to bring disaster to this world and the person who is going to stop him is our son. He will open the up the future as a Jinchuriki and you will guide him every step of the way." Minato said as he performed the signs for the Reaper Death Seal. He turned towards the Nine-Tails and all of a sudden the Yin half of the beast's chakra was ripped from its body and sealed into me. I immediately felt better, my strength returning to me.
"Kushina now is not the time to argue with me." Minato gasped as he summoned a sealing alter and placed Naruto onto it. The Nine-Tails realized what Minato was planning and sent one of his claws towards Naruto. Minato jumped in front of it at the last time and was pierced through, but somehow he managed to stop the attack of the Nine-Tails.
He coughed up blood as he said his final words "Kushina, please tell our son how much I love him." He asked. I nodded and started to cry and fell on my knees. My strength had started to leave me as my body had been through too much for the day. "Goodbye Kushina. Eight Signed Seal!" Minato shouted as a flash of light blinded me and the Nine-Tails was absorbed into my son. Minato fell over dead with a smile on his face. Completely exhausted I released my chakra chains and fell over. Hiruzen Sarutobi ran up to me and stared in shock at the scene.
"Lord Hiruzen, please get Naruto to a hospital." I said exhausted as I passed out.
A/N There we go for the Prologue. Hope you follow and leave reviews. Also leave reviews on my other story, A New Threat and A New Hero. I only got one and it was not very kind. But that's okay because I'm just learning how to do this. P.S If at all possible I would appreciate it if you did not use profanity in the reviews.
