(Third's Point Of View)
"It hurts, ya know!"
As of now, Kushina Uzumaki was in a seal safe room where The Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, was trying to keep the Nine Tail's seal at bay while Biwako, the Third Hokage's wife, was helping Kushina with the birth of her child.
Minato was now looking at his wife with concern, "I've never seen Kushina in so much pain. Is she... all right?" Lady Biwako sighed, " She's all right! Never mind that. Just stay focused on the Nine Tail's seal! You are the Fourth Hokage! Act like one! A man would have dropped dead from such pain long ago. But women are strong!"
Minato looked down at the seal and thought, 'He's so strong! The Nine Tails is struggling to get out! Hang in there, Kushina! Hang in there, Naru!'
Lady Biwako said that she could see the head while the Anbu helping Lady Biwako said for Kushina to stay strong. You could hear the Nine Tails roar as Minato shouted, "Naru! Come out quickly! Nine Tails, you stay put!"
Then Kushina stopped moaning in pain as Lady Biwako asked for some hot water to clean off the child as she put him in a blanket as Minato stepped back, away from Kushina, and looked at the child.
It was a baby girl with a tuff of red hair on her head while she also has three whisker marks on each cheek which showed that her mother was the Jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox.
Minato wiped away his tears as Lady Biwako walked towards Minato while saying that she was a healthy baby as he reached out for her but Lady Biwako said that mother was first to see the child while father was second.
Lady Biwako brought the crying baby over to Kushina for which she looked at her child with a smile on her face as she said that she was happy to finally meet her.
Lady Biwako walked away from the parents with the child as Minato came up to Kushina and asked if she was alright for which she answered that she was okay.
Minato looked at her with tears in his eyes, "Thank you..." She got tears in her eyes as well as she said her husbands name.
Minato then put his fist into his hand, "All right! I know you've gone through childbirth, but I'm going to completely seal the Nine Tails!"
They both heard screams so Minato turned to see Lady Biwako and the Anbu dead on the floor while a cloaked man with an orange mask was holding a screaming child with a kunai next to her head.
"Fourth Hokage Minato, get away from the Jinchuriki. Otherwise, this child's life will end in one minute." Minato's eyes narrowed as he looked at the man, 'How did he get past the barrier? This guy... Who the hell is he?'
Kushina groaned in pain as the seal was slowly being unsealed which made Minato look at her, 'The Nine Tails Seal is still-' The masked man interrupted his thinking as he spoke.
"Get away from the Jinchuriki. Don't you care what happens to your kid?" Minato raised his hand, telling the masked man to stay calm for which he answered, "Speak for yourself, Minato. I'm as cool as can be."
The masked man through the baby into the air and jumped up to stab the baby but Minato used his teleportation technique to catch the baby in time.
"Well, I must hand it to the Yellow Flash. But I wonder about this next one." Paper bombs were on the bottom of the baby blanket as Kushina screamed out their names as Minato used his teleportation technique to teleport to a safe house where he took off the blanket then jumped out of the house with the baby in his arms.
Dragging himself on the ground from the blast he looks down at his newborn child who was still crying, "Thank goodness... Naru isn't hurt."
He looked down to see that a piece of wood was in his ankle for which he pulled it out and flicked it while thinking, 'I was forced to use the Flying Raijin Jutsu. His target is Kushina, and he succeeded in separating us. I must hurry.'
He teleported to another safe house where he put the child in the bed and covered her while saying that he had to save her mother and will be right back.
With Kushina, she was tied up in a sealing bind as she asked what the masked man wanted for which he answered, "I'm going to pull the Nine Tails out from you and destroy the Hidden Leaf. Minato's Teleportation Jutsu allows him to move instantly between locations marked with Jutsu Formulas. He made sure to mark your Sealing Formula with it too... In order to protect you. However, I managed to put a distance between you. Furthermore, the Nine Tails' Seal has been weakened from childbirth. Do you know how long I've waited for this moment?"
Then Kushina was covered in orange Chakra mass as the masked man made a hand sign and called out to the Nine Tails as the seal breaks and the Nine Tails was unleashed.
Kushina fell forward onto the bolder she was on, but lifted herself up and told the man to wait for which he answered, "Uzumaki Shinobi are amazing. You don't die right away after the Tailed Beast is extracted. You were the Jinchuriki of the Nine Tails. I'll use him to kill you."
The Nine Tails brought his hand up and brought it down to crush Kushina but Minato got to her in time and flashed her and him onto a tree.
She asked if Naru was alright for which Minato said that she was fine and that she was in a safe place which made Kushina sigh in relief.
She narrowed her eyes at Minato, "Minato, you must stop that man and the Nine Tails right now. He's heading for Hidden Leaf Village."
He turned and glared at the masked man then teleported away to where Naru was laying in bed as Minato walked over to it and laid Kushina next to her child.
Kushina teared up and brought the child closer to her while saying her name as Minato clenched his fist then went over and put his Fourth Hokage cloak on, saying that he would be right back.
He teleport to the top of his head on the Hokage monument then looked out at the village to see the Nine Tails destroying the front part of the village.
'As Hokage, I will protect the village, my family, right now. This is what I need to do. I won't allow it to do as it pleases anymore!' He thought as the Nine Tails looked straight at him.
"So you've taken notice of me. You won't get your way here!" The Nine Tails prepared a Tailed Beast Bomb and shot it straight at Minato who did hand signs and teleported it away from the village.
'For this large a scale, I'll have to be careful where I send it. The jutsu that stopped the Nine Tails' attack must be the Teleportation Barrier!'
He sensed someone behind him so he took his kunai and slashed it through the persons head but it was no effect as the masked man grabbed Minato's arm and spoke, "I'm your opponent, and it's all over."
He started to suck Minato into another dimension but he teleport away in time and fell onto the ground as he thought about what happened with his last attack as the masked man appeared before him.
'He uses the Teleportation Jutsu too? Is that how he took Kushina and moved away so quickly? A shinobi who outmaneuvered the Anbu assigned under Lord Third's direct control who slipped through a top-secret barrier and who knew that the Nine Tails' Seal would weaken during childbirth.
Furthermore, he undid the Nine Tails' Seal, tamed it and went in and out of the barrier set up by the Hidden Leaf without being caught. I know of only one shinobi capable of this. Are you Madara Uchiha? No, that's impossible. He's dead.'
The masked man took off his hood as he spoke saying that he wondered about that as Minato said that it didn't matter and he asked why he was attacking the leaf.
The masked man hummed, "I could say I did it on a whim, or that I planned it, or that it's war, or that it's for peace."
Minato narrowed his eyes, 'Whatever the case, he's no ordinary man! He can control the Nine Tails and his Teleportation Jutsu surpasses both Lord Second's and mine. And he has some dangerous ideology. I must deal with him now or he'll be even more trouble than the Nine Tails!
If I transport myself to the village now, he will follow and the battlefield will become even more chaotic. If he's anything like Madara, I can't keep the Nine Tails under the Summoning Jutsu for too long. I just have to entrust the village to Lord Third. As for me, I must take this guy down right here!'
Minato raced at him with with his special kunai in hand as he went to pierce his heart but Minato went right through the man who was charging at him as well.
The masked man put on chains before which caught Minato but he teleport a few feet away from the man as he thought, ' My physical attacks have no effect on him, but he makes himself materialize to attack me. Namely, I can only aim for him when we both strike blows!
But his risk lies during the moment of attack. And considering the time remaining on the Nine Tails' Summoning Jutsu, he doesn't relish a long battle either. The one who attacks an instant quicker than the other, will win this match!"
Minato and the masked man raced at each other once more but this time, Minato through his kunai which though the masked man's head then made a Rasengan that was going to hit him as the masked man was about to grab him, but Minato teleport to his kunai and hit the man in the back with his Rasengan.
Minato said his Jutsu name out loud as he broke the ground, hurting the masked man.
Once it was over, the masked man jumped onto a bolder, holding his arm as Minato stood up with smoke surrounding him and the masked man spoke, "You got me. This is what is meant by "elusive. " I should never have let down my guard."
Minato then teleported over to him and stabbed him with his kunai then made a contract seal on his body, making him lose his bind with the Nine Tails.
Minato jumped backwards as the masked man spoke, "You wounded me and managed to pull out the Nine Tails. However, the Nine Tails will be mine eventually. I am going to rule the world... And there are so many ways to go about doing that."
He disappeared as Minato thought about his tone and how he wasn't joking around then thought about the village and the now rampaging Nine Tails.
Minato teleported while summoning the Boss toad, Gamabunta, which landed on top of the Nine Tails. Minato then made hand seals and teleported the Nine Tails away from the village.
He teleported it where Kushina and Naru were so he hurry and grabbed them both and brought them a few feet away from where the Nine Tails was.
Minato was deep breathing as he thought about making a barrier but Kushina said that she could still do it for which she bit her lip and chains came out of her back and dug into the ground then back out again and chained up the Nine Tails while also making a barrier around them.
Naru started to cry as Kushina was panting then looked up at her child, "Did I wake you up? I'm sorry, Naru."
Minato was holding Naru as he looked at his wife with distress as she spoke, "I'm going to draw the Nine Tails with me to my death. So we can delay the revival of the Nine Tails. I'll be able to save all of you with what little chakra I have left. Thank you for everything you've done for me."
Minato stared at her with wide eyes as tears fell from his right eye as he spoke, "Kushina... It's because of you that I'm the Fourth Hokage! You made me a man! And you made me this baby's father! And yet..."
Kushina smiled at him, "Minato, don't give me that look! I'm happy that you loved me. And today, is this child's birthday. If I were to imagine me alive, and our future together, the three of us as a family... I can't see us having anything but a happy life. If I were allowed just one regret, it's that I won't be able to see Naru... grow up. How I wish I could have seen that."
Minato wiped away the tears as he spoke, "Kushina, there is no need for you to die with the Nine Tails. Preserve what little chakra you have left for a reunion with Naruto. I'll seal all of your remaining chakra inside Naruto. It will be part of an Eight Signed Seal. Then I'll take the Nine Tails with me with the only Sealing Jutsu I can do since I'm not a Jinchuriki, the Reaper Death Seal! And one more thing.
I will only seal half of the Nine Tails. Sealing a power this immense is physically impossible. It's also strategically unwise. If you take the Nine Tails and its seal with you when you die, there won't be a Jinchuriki around when he reemerges. That will upset the balance of power between the Tailed Beasts. The Reaper Death Seal will seal half of the Nine Tails with me forever. As for the other half of the Nine Tails...
I will seal it inside Naruto with the Eight Signed Seal! I know what you want to say. But remember what Master Jiraiya said about world upheaval. And the calamities that would follow. Two things were confirmed for me today. That masked man who attacked you today is a harbinger of disaster! And the one who will stop him is this child! This infant whose godfather is Master Jiraiya. He will open up the future as a Jinchuriki. I don't know why, but I'm convinced of this."
Kushina said her husbands name in distress as Minato made the hand seals for the Reaper Death Seal then a ghost like figure with Minato's soul attached to him was behind him as Minato spoke.
"Let's put our trust in this child! She's our daughter, after all!" Lord Third and two other Shinobi appeared outside the barrier and they watched what began to transpire.
Minato spoke, "When I'm finished with the Reaper Death Seal, I will seal your chakra inside Naru. When she tries to control the Nine Tail's power as a Jinchuriki, I want you to help her out."
Kushina was now holding their daughter as she spoke, "He's our son, which is why I don't want to put such a terrible burden on him! And also, why use the Reaper Death Seal? If it's just so I can meet a grown-up Naruto even if it's just for a short while, there's no need for you to die!
I want you to stay by Naruto as he grows up and protect him. I don't get it! To keep the balance of Tailed Beasts? For the sake of the nation and the village? Why must Naruto be sacrificed?! Why must you sacrifice yourself for me?!"
Minato just stared down at her as he spoke in calm words, "To forsake one's nation, and one's village, is the same as forsaking one's child. Your own homeland was destroyed, so you of all people should know the harsh life that awaits those without a country. Besides, our family is... shinobi! And finally, even if I were to live, I'm no match to you. Even though you won't have much time with him, there are some things only you as her mother can tell Naruto. Things that I can't. That's a mother's role. I'm not doing this just for you. I'm doing this for Naru. I will gladly die for my daughter. It's my duty as her father."
The Nine Tails roared as Minato turned around and the sealing process began as the arm of the ghost went through Minato's stomach and grabbed onto the Nine Tail's and ripped out half of his soul.
Once it was inside Minato, a seal formed on his stomach as he breathed heavily and said that his body was going numb.
He then walked over to Kushina and grabbed Naru from her arms and brought his hand to the ground and a ritual alter where he put the baby on the bed in the middle.
Kushina coughed up blood which made some of the chains fall from the Nine Tails body so he was able to move. The Nine Tails brought his hand up and was aiming its claw at Naru.
Both of the parents eyes widen as they ran in the way of the claw as it impaled them in the stomach, stoppng the claw from hitting their child.
Minato told her that it was his right to die for his child as Kushina answered, "Then all the more, since I'm his mother! This is the first time I lost an argument. Okay, I understand that you're determined to do this."
He thanked her as he made hand signs for the summoning Jutsu where the summon spoke, "Nine Tails! What?! Lord Fourth too! What's the meaning of this?!"
Minato said that he need to make a key for which he did then the summon poof back to where he was living.
Minato sighed, "And now, I'm off! That should do it. Kushina, my time is running out. I'm going start the Eight Signed Seal. I want to put some of my chakra in Naruto too. It'll be quite a while before we can see him. Let's tell him what we want to say."
Kushina looked down at her daughter, "Naru... Don't be picky. Eat lots and grow strong. Make sure you bathe every day and stay warm. Also don't stay up late. You need lots of sleep. And make friends. You don't need a lot of friends. Just a few...
Ones you can really, really trust. I wasn't very good at it, but keep up with your studies and practice your ninjutsu hard. Remember that everyone has strengths and weaknesses. So don't get too depressed if you can't do something well. Respect your teachers and upperclassmen at the Academy.
Oh, and this is important. It's about the Three Prohibitions for a shinobi. Be extra careful about lending and borrowing money. Put your mission wages into your savings account. No alcohol until you're twenty. Too much can ruin your health, so drink in moderation.
Another Prohibition is men. Minato's a man, so he doesn't know too much about this but... All you need to remember is that this world is made up of men and women. So it's only natural to take an interest in men... But just don't get hooked on bad men. Find someone just like... Minato.
Speaking of the Three Prohibitions, be wary of Jiraiya Sensei, you know. Naru, from now on, you're going to face lots of pain and hardship. Be true to yourself. Have a dream and have the confidence to make that dream come true!
There's so much... Oh, so much more that I want to pass on to you. I wish I could stay with you longer. I love you. Minato, I'm sorry I used up your time"
He shook his head, "Oh, it's okay. Naru, my message to you is... I guess it's the same as your nagging mother's. Eight Signed Seal."
And the rest was history with the three new hero's...
One of them being the Kyuubi holder...
Naru Uzumaki...
