Tsunade screamed out in pain. God, why did childbirth have to be so awful? She pushed again and felt like this kid was just trying to bring her as much pain as possible.

"Goddammit Brat! Get the hell out of me!" She yelled.

"Just one more push Tsunade-sama!" Shizune said.

Tsunade pushed one more time and felt the pain leave her body. She heard the cry of a baby sound through the room. Then she heard the whimpering of her husband next to her, it was Minato. He had wisely decided to shut up during the whole ordeal since he would have been yelled at, but his hand was broken from Tsunade's crushing grip.

"Tsunade-sama, here is your new baby girl, Naruko." Shizune said, handing off the pink bundle to her master.

"N-Naruko... She's so beautiful." Tsunade said.

"Well of course she is, after all, she's your daughter." Minato said, kissing her forehead.

Tsunade smiled and looked back at her baby girl. "Kaa-san loves you very much Naruko-chan! Very very much!" She said. "Shizune, you want to be her godmother?" She asked, looking at her assistant.

Shizune's face lit up like a Christmas tree. "Yes! I would love to be her godmother!" She said.

Tsunade and Minato laughed and then they heard a booming sound off in the distance.

"What was that?" Tsunade asked.

"I don't know, but I better check it out." Minato said.

"I have to bring Naruko to the nursery to be checked more thoroughly. I'll be right back Tsunade-sama." Shizune said, taking Naruko.

Minato flashed out of the room and Shizune calmly walked out. Tsunade, feeling extremely tired from child birth, passed out.


"Minato, we need to stop the Nine tailed fox." Sarutobi said, looking at his successor. "We can't let the village be destroyed."

"I'm aware of that, there's only one thing I can do. I'll be right back." Minato said as he flashed away.


"Shizune, I need Naruko." Minato said.

"What, why?" She asked.

"Because, I need to seal the Nine tailed fox into a newborn child. I can't use someone else's child, because if I'm not willing to sacrifice something, how can I expect someone else to?" Minato said.

"Alright," Shizune said, leaving the room. "I'll go get Naruko."

When she was in the nursery, she looked down at her new goddaughter. 'Like hell I'll let that happen to her. I don't care what Minato says, I can't do this to my family nor Tsunade-sama;s.' She thought. She felt bad, but she found another blonde haired baby, a young boy who was less than a few hours old. She switched out the blue blanket he was in with a pink one.

She walked back to the birthing room and handed Minato the baby. He flashed off and she immediately filled with guilt. Who knows who else's baby she just sentenced that to? She just couldn't watch Minato flash away with her goddaughter, she just couldn't, it would kill her to do so. She didn't like lying to him like this, but it was necessary.


Minato appeared next to Sarutobi. "I'll be sealing away the Nine tails, don't try to stop me." he said as he flashed to where the Nine tails was.

He set up a barrier so no one could intervene and summoned the alter. He drew the seal on the baby's stomach. He went through the seals and sealed half of the Nine tails into the baby, he then sealed the other half into himself.

He died, but what he failed to notice, was that this baby was no girl, he had been in to much of a rush to notice it was instead, a baby boy.


Tsunade woke up feeling groggy, she noticed Shizune in the room and remembered what happened before she passed out.

"Shizune? Where is she? Where's my little Naruko-chan? And Where's Minato-kun?" She asked.

"Tsunade-sama, here's Naruko." She said, handing the bundle to Tsunade. "But, there's a problem. The booming earlier was the Nine tailed fox, attacking the village, Minato sealed it into a baby and in the process, he died." Shizune explained.

"Minato-kun..." She whispered in horror. Then she realized something. "Wait! Shizune, you said he sealed it into a baby... don't tell me..." She whispered, staring down at her little girl.

"Tsunade-sama... I never wanted to admit this... but... Minato came and asked for Naruko so he could seal it into her. I went to get her, and as I looked down at her, I couldn't bring myself to sentence her to that fate. So I switched with another baby. I feel awful about it, but I couldn't bring myself to do that to Naruko-chan. I couldn't just hand her over knowing what would happen." Shizune said.

"Shizune, while I feel bad for that baby... Thank you... I don't know what I would've done. Because, there's a good chance that someone will try to kill that baby... and After Nawaki.. and Dan... and now Minato... I just couldn't take it anymore. I can't take it anymore. My baby was almost used as a jinchurriki. It's this damn village, it's so unlucky, I can't be around here. Something might happen to you or Naruko-chan, and you're all I have left. As soon as I'm able to walk. We're getting everything from the Senju compound, and leaving this damn village." Tsunade said.

"Hai, Tsunade-sama!" Shizune said.

The next few days were spent with Tsunade recovering. By the end of the week, they were ready to leave Konoha. Tsunade gathered up all of the scrolls, family heirlooms, jewels, everything from the Senju compound. She had Jiraiya seal it all up into scrolls and left only the house, no furniture, no scrolls, no books, just emptiness. She told the Hokage to keep the house safe, since it belonged to her and even though she was convinced she would never come back to this village, Naruko might want to, and it was her right as a Senju to have it. She did the same with Minato's house and belongings, since he left them to her in his will.

Her little Naruko-chan would have the most extensive Shinobi library in all of existence with their scrolls of jutsu.

She left the village, accompanied by Shizune, holding her precious little girl in her arms. She decided to cash in a little favor from her close friend, who just happened to be the priestess of the land of ogres.

They reached the palace within the next week and they told the guards that they needed to talk to the priestess.

"Tsunade-chan, it's been a long time. What brings you here?" The priestess asked.

"Well, I can't take being in the Leaf Village anymore. My husband just died, and I needed to get out of there before something happened to my little girl or Shizune. I was wondering if I could stay here for awhile, you know, until I find a permanent home so I'm not moving all over with a growing baby." Tsunade said.

"Tsunade, how about you just make this your permanent home? I bet our daughters would get along well as they grow up. Besides, we need a good medic nin around here, and your the best. How about it? You be the doctor around here, and you get a safe, permanent place for your daughter to live, and have friends." The priestess said.

"I accept, thank you, Michiko-chan." Tsunade said.

"No problem, you're always welcome here, didn't I tell you that last time?" Michiko said, smiling.

"Most likely, now, may I see you daughter?" Tsunade said.

"Of course! Oh She's just the cutest little thing!" Michiko squealed.

"What's her name?" Tsunade asked.

"Shion. What's yours?" Michiko asked.

"Naruko." Tsunade said.

"Naruko Senju. That's a great name." Michiko said.

"Well, it was actually taken from Jiraiya's only non-porn book. It's about a ninja named Naruto, so me and Minato decided to name our daughter Naruko." Tsunade said.

"How about I go get Shino, and then I show you your wing of the house?" Michiko said.

"Sounds great." Tsunade said, as the two walked off, comparing their pregnancies.
