Prologue
The sounds of gasping and moaning in pain could be heard from through the halls of an unused apartment building.
"Kushina, breath. Honey I need you to breath." Minato attempted to calm his labored wife. Kushina's yokai pressure was building as each contraction neared the one previous. She had been in labor with her first child for 2 hours already, and yet had not dilated enough for birth. As a Yoko, a theory about strength was developed about how long the birthing period lasted. If it took a long time to birth a child, the stronger a yoko he or she would be. Minato hated to see his beloved this way. The only other time he had stood beside her unable to help as she was in pain, was when her father had nearly killed her because she had chosen to be with him, and not the suitor her parents chose for her. Kushina's labored breath became ragged as another contraction shook through her body. The contractions were now about fifteen minutes apart, which meant that Kushina was in for a long birth. Minato held his wife's hand as she grasped for something to squeeze to disperse the pain. His mind raced through all of the many possibilities to name the small child. Would it be a boy? Or a girl? What would Kushina want to name their first born? A Traditional yoko name? Or something new? The pain that he was feeling was nothing compared to what he had felt before. Both yoko were from rivaling families, and when they had announced their love, they were disowned. The young lovers were strong for their clans, and there was no doubt that their child would be a force to be reckoned with.
"Minato, water." Kushina's voice was strained and tired. Minato leapt to his feet and he practically flew to the cabinet for a cup of water. Kushina grabbed for the liquid, and practically drained it in one gulp. Her face drenched with sweat and tears, the pain unbearable. Her beloveds concerned face was a distraction, if only temporarily. His blond hair standing up in spikes as was its normal fashion, while parts hung down from underneath his headband. She wondered who their child would look like, Minato or her. Would it have blond hair like his? Or would it have dull orange red hair like hers?
Both new parents had their concerns about their unborn child, but neither would be there to watch their small child grow into a young yoko. After 12 hours of labor, the baby boy was born with golden yellow baby stubble hair. A crash burst through the apartment door.
"Where's the little guy? Or girl?" Jiraiya called. Minato smiled and led the older man into Kushina's room, where she held the small child.
"Jiraiya, thank you for being here." Kushina smiled. That was the last smile Jiraiya would ever see from her. A blast came through the room next to theirs. Minato leapt to his feet, ready to defend his wife and newborn son.
"Quickly give him a name!" Kushina called in a frantic voice.
"Naruto! Name him Naruto!" Minato called back just as frantic. In front of the tall blonde, was his brother.
"Hello again Minato. I see you've been busy. Such a heartwarming moment. Saying goodbye before you both die." Minato could feel the sweat drip down the back of his neck. He had to keep his brother from reaching Kushina and Naruto.
"Kushina run!" He cried, not taking his eyes from the clearly pissed yoko. Kushina stood on unsteady legs and carried Naruto into the backroom of the apartment. Jiraiya followed helping the new mother.
"Jiraiya, take Naruto and run. Please. If you do not hear word from me in two days, I am likely dead. Please, treat him as your own. Raise him, train him. Teach him. Please I beg of you!" She cried to him, giving her first child away. Jiraiya nodded solemnly, he understood what her request meant. The large man, silently opened the window to the room, and disappeared from Kushina's sight.
