Alright, welcome to a new story. Ummmm, what can I say, this is going to be more then one chapter long and I really don't know when I am going to post the next one after this, I 'm almost done with it but then I have the other parts to finish and look at.
A note for you all, in this chapter Naruto is around 22 when this chapter begins. And this is taken from Naruto's POV for this chapter but like some of my other stories, I will flip Personals every so often. (hey, I think I'll go Third person POV in one chapter, just for kicks ya know.) But anyway, sorry to y'all who don't like NaruSaku, this is one of those situations.
Finally: Naruto is not mine.

"Naruto, don't do this?" my wife said quietly from the bed. She had just given birth to our daughter. "There has got to be a better way. I don't want to lose you."
I painfully cringe, the demon was trying to break free and my chakra coils were feeling the brunt of it. "I'm sorry. I don't know how much longer my body can stand up to the fox's attempts at freedom. It has to be this way, Sakura my love. I will not allow the Kyuubi to be unleashed unto the world. At least this way, she will not have to grow up like I did," I sadly respond.
I had learned much throughout the years that I had trained under Ero-sennin. But the one thing that I had to learn by myself without his help regretfully was that of my own seal. I learned how to reproduce it and how to make it better if I needed to. Unfortunately I couldn't make my own seal stronger but by the time I found this out, it was already too late and I only had a few months at max until the Fox unleashed its fury back in the real world.
It was just karma that the Fox had started its breakout when my little daughter decided she wanted to see the real world outside of mom's womb. I knew Sakura was going to kill me if I had somehow managed to survive this little attempt, for what I was planning to do to our daughter.
I carefully took my daughter out of her little cradle. I held her gently trying to be careful and not break this delicate little thing that had just breathed her first breathes only a few hours ago. I take her out of the newborns room of the maternity wing of the hospital. I take her to a more secluded room.
"I'm sorry, my little one. I just hope your life is not like mine," I cringe.
The Fox almost made it out that time. I have to do this seal quickly. I grab a pillow from a nearby bed. I hope this will be good enough. I bite my thumb drawing blood. I collect my chakra, and start to draw the seal onto my little one's stomach. I have made some changes to it, reinforcing the seal so that what has happened with me doesn't happen with her. By the time, I am finished the fox has begun to break free of its seal. I collect my daughter from the pillow and I put her next to my stomach where I have concentrated my last amount of chakra. I feel the pain of the seal being transferred over to her. When it is done, I am on the verge of death. I gently place her back on the pillow. I take in the last moments. I feel strangely empty without the Fox being inside of me. He Has been with me my entire life so it feels odd without the thing that killed me inside of me. I am on the verge of passing out when I look at my daughter, who is crying at having been disturbed from her peaceful newborn sleep.
"I'm sorry, little Miyaka. Your aunties should be around pretty soon." I have told Sakura and baa-chan what I planned on doing. Sakura will tell Tsunade what I have done and she will come looking for me. But she will be too late to save me.
The blackness encroaches into my field of vision. My body falls limp and I slink down and fall side wards so I am laying parallel to my daughter. Goodbye my daughter. May you have a good life.

Endnotes before I go back and demand more from the story fairy: Sorry about the length, but it's just a prolouge (so give me a break). There's more to come so don't give up hope now.
Anyway, you know what to do, read and reviews.
