Chapter 1: Attack of the Kyuubi.
October 10th. It was a terrible day in the Hidden Leaf Village. The Nine-Tailed Demon Fox known as Kyuubi had attacked the Ninja village three days ago, and several Leaf ninjas have died defending it from the demon. This battle would last for a lot longer than expected. Luckily, a character that wasn't exactly expected entered the village, and was starting to assist the wounded, reducing the casualties greatly.
Tsunade, the Slug Princess, and one of the Legendary Sannin, was right beside the Toad Sage, Jiraiya, her teammate, and several other great ninjas, putting their lives on the line. Her teenager and very talented apprentice, Shizune, was actually handling a very important business too in a small apartment. Minato Namikaze, the blond and powerful Fourth Hokage, was fighting the Kyuubi alongside his partner, the Toad Boss Gamabunta, and his team members Kakashi Hatake, Obito Uchiha and Rin Inuzuka. That meant that he was not being able to assist to her girlfriend's childbirth, and it seemed that she was having lots of trouble.
Shizune was actually working extra with the Chuunin medic ninjas, helping Kushina Uzumaki with her already complicated childbirth. The assistant medics brought her lots of blood packs to start blood transfusions to the red-headed pregnant woman, as she worked with all she'd got to heal the terrible wounds she had, all the while she attended the childbirth.
Shizune saw her and, seeing how not only she got better, but also that her baby was born with no more issues for any of them, she decided to draw the baby out and spank him to wake him up. He was blond, just like his father, and Kushina, who could actually se him crying, alive, said, with tired voice:
- Minato needs him… Minato needs Naruto, in order to… to defeat the Kyuubi… Take Naruto to him…
A couple of medics took the baby to the battlefield, while Shizune attended her internal organs, doing her best to heal the new mother, but glad that she could make it out of the most dangerous path.
In the battlefield, Minato was accompanied by Jiraiya's green toad, Gamahiro, and both Kakashi and Obito were assisting them from the ground. All of a sudden, Obito decided to try something, and let Kakashi know:
- Kakashi, I'll try to see what's keeping the Kyuubi so enraged. Watch my back.
Kakashi nodded, knowing that Obito would attempt to use his Sharingan on the Kyuubi. Suddenly, Obito's skin turned pale and started crying and trembling in fear as he stared at the Kyuubi:
- I-It c-c-cannot be…
Kakashi snapped his partner from the lapse, slapping his cheek fiercely. Obito, who had already deactivated his bloodline, looked at Kakashi and said, with trembling voice:
- I know what's going on with the Kyuubi…
In that moment, the two medics arrived to the back of Gamabunta, showing the baby Naruto to his father, the Fourth Hokage. Even the old Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage that gave his position to the blond known as "the Leaf's Flash", was fighting to keep the Kyuubi at stake. Tsunade saw Minato looking at his son, with a sad smile, and then she saw him arming lots of seals that she immediately recognized. The Seal of the Death God, no, what's he thinking?! Tsunade yelled:
- Minato!! What the hell do you think you're doing?!
Minato armed the seals and the figure of a death god appeared behind him, and he laid his newborn son in the head of Gamabunta. Tsunade jumped to him, whole Jiraiya and Gamahiro were stopping Kyuubi from attempting his attack on Gamabunta. The Death God started to take the Kyuubi's chakra, and draw it into the baby's body slowly.
Minato was getting really tired, and the sealing technique wasn't exactly too helpful about it, as it took so much energy from the sealer to summon the Death God and force the sealed creature's chakra into the living recipient that it could actually kill the sealer. Tsunade knew this and summoned Katsuyu, the Slug Queen. The slug did something Minato didn't expect: she had split herself into lots of smaller slugs, giving their chakra to the Fourth Hokage as he attempted the seal.
The Kyuubi didn't expect that either; and he saw how his own energy was being absorbed into the child. Obito, who attempted again to use his Sharingan on the demon, faced the controller, and suddenly realized how the powerful Sharingan user withdrew from the demon's head. He actually did so too, as he started to feel how the Fox's chakra was being sucked by the seal. Obito fell to the floor, crying blood, and Kakashi took him to Rin, getting her to heal him.
Minato, realizing that not only he was getting extra energy to attempt the seal, but that also the Kyuubi was out of his rage attack, he realized that he could seal the whole Kyuubi inside his son, else than what he had thought: only its Yang energy. As the sealing ended, after almost an hour from the sealing attempt, Minato fell from the Boss Toad's head, with the baby in his arms, but he ended up falling in Tsunade's arms, unconscious. Tsunade saw the slugs and said:
- You know what to do, Katsuyu.
- Yes, lady Tsunade.
Minato, on his side, was actually feeling the light vanish from his own body, and the last thing he remembered seeing was a group of slugs jumping over him before he passed out.
He found himself in a weird, dark sewer, and he saw that, ahead of him, there was a metallic-barred jail with a label that had the word "seal" on it. He saw a large, fire red fox growling on the other side of the jail, screaming with a deep and loud voice:
- What the hell did you do to me?!?! I'm going to kill that bastard, and then I'm going to kill you, Minato Namikaze!!
Minato saw it with a serious look, and said:
- Who is that bastard, Kyuubi? Speak now and perhaps I'll let you live inside my son.
Kyuubi tried to jump towards the huge, solid gate, getting an electric shock and also a fierce wind slash that hurt its ribcage deeply. Kyuubi realized that Minato's face wasn't exactly happy, or defying, or simply irritating. He was serious, and he actually had pain in his eyes. The same pain I have, actually. Minato said then:
- Please, lord Kyuubi, I know this is just too much for both of us, even when, as I can say, we're both still alive, but please, help us. I know we wouldn't have dared to mess up with you before, but you got used by someone powerful, and I was forced to do this, so no more people from our village would die.
Kyuubi realized the words were sincere, and replied:
- The Eternal Sharingan…
Minato was suddenly shocked to hear those words. It's no way that this could be… Minato said:
- I see… then, this is a lot more wrong than what we had expected. Kyuubi, I'm afraid that I cannot let you out yet.
Kyuubi growled, frowning:
- And now what? You've just put me behind bars "to protect me"?
Minato simply stated:
- I know very well that the other eight demons are actually catching his attention, and I think I know what his objective might be.
Kyuubi just asked, tired:
- And what could that objective be?
- Attempting the fusion of the Nine Tailed Beasts into the legendary Juubi, the Ten-Tails. And I'm pretty sure you don't actually want that to happen again.
Kyuubi saw him and started thinking. Well, actually, right here I'm some sort of a prisoner inside this child, but I'm actually myself, and not just an aspect of a more evil conscience. It said:
- Well, I must agree with you that I don't want to go back to the mind of that beast. But I want my revenge on that Sharingan.
Minato smiled gently and said:
- I'll make sure that my son doesn't abuse of you, and that he learns how to handle you properly.
Kyuubi chuckled:
- What could a small child do?
Minato also chuckled:
- You wouldn't have any idea how imaginative could a boy be.
His chuckle dropped back to a serious tone and said, before leaving:
- Once more, Kyuubi, I'm really sorry that things had turned up to be like this, but be glad that I could seal you whole.
Minato vanished from that place, and Kyuubi just sat there, pondering his words. It'd have to wait some years before its host could understand of him, and this would become such a long wait.
Minato suddenly could hear a loud crying voice and opened his eyes, finding himself in a well-known hospital. He saw Tsunade and Jiraiya carrying the young Naruto and playing with him. They two just look a lot better than me like parents, heh, heh. Jiraiya saw his student wake up and said:
- Minato! You're finally awake, kid!
Tsunade showed him the baby and said, with a huge smile on her face:
- Your kid is just like you, but he seems to have his mother's temper!
Minato suddenly remembered that his dear Kushina was badly wounded, and asked, jumping from the bed:
- What happened to Kushina, master? Lady Tsunade?
Minato was really worried, but Jiraiya and Tsunade just stared to the other side of the room, smiling. Minato turned to see what they were seeing and he found the image if his beautiful, red-headed girlfriend seeing him, smiling cheerfully as she dried some tears from her face:
- You finally made it back home, my dear.
- Kushina…
Both blushed, as Minato received the crying baby from Tsunade's hands. Both took a look at the baby and smiled, blushed. Kushina said, teasing:
- He surely has my temper, damn!
Minato replied too:
- I'd have never thought that a small baby like him could have such lungs. Do you see how much he cries?
Kushina smiled:
- That's the Uzumaki blood, Minato, heh, heh.
Minato handed Kushina the baby, with Jiraiya's help, and she breast-fed him, calming him up as he sucked from the red-headed shinobi's breast. Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and said:
- I can't even imagine what would have happened if you were Naruto's mother, Tsunade.
Tsunade, realizing that Jiraiya was looking at her own breasts again glared daggers at him, making him laugh nervously and run away, scared. The couple in bed was also laughing from both the joke and Jiraiya's scared-cat reaction, but Tsunade also glared daggers at them:
- Anyone gets to know of that joke from you and I'll kill everyone who does using your dead corpses as sledgehammers!
Minato and Kushina laughed too with that, and Tsunade couldn't avoid a smirk. These two are just too happy like for getting freaked out with any of my grumpy threats. She said:
- Well, I guess I'll just leave you family alone. I hope that I can see you soon, and take care of your child.
- We'll do, lady Tsunade. – Kushina was the one who answered.
After the talk, the Sannin left, leaving the happy couple and their baby boy alone. Kushina's eyes turned glassy as she said:
- I thought I wouldn't see you again, my dear…
- Me too, my love… it was Tsunade who didn't let me die with the seal…
Kushina smiled back and said:
- Well, that's great, because I didn't intend to breed this loud-mouthed child on my own!
Minato chuckled, blushed, and said:
- Then I guess I shall leave the paperwork to the Old Man. I actually want my son to grow up with both parents. Also, I know the people won't actually see him with good eyes, so I guess it's better that we both are there for Naruto.
Kushina blushed too and said:
- And I'd love to see you in a daily basis too.
- I love you, Kushina, and even if we cannot get married, I won't ever want to leave your side.
- And I love you too, Minato. I don't care about marriage at all, as our love has just become true.
Both moved their beds to get close to each other, and after that they kissed each other's lips. Minato would have to prepare to face the Council of Elders to ask for his remission as Hokage, giving the chance to the old Sarutobi to deal with the usual paperwork from hell as he raised his son. The baby Naruto fell asleep in Kushina's arms, and both stared at him, realizing the miracle of nature and the result of their love.
End of Chapter 1.
A/N: I came up with this one today. I don't think that I can update it as faster as my other one: Love and Strength, Orange and Blue, but I'll do my best to work on it too. This one seems quite promising, so please review!
