A still mother in her hospital bed staring lovingly into her newborn baby's eye's, hears the carnage continuing outside of her window and pray that her husband is ok. A small "Minato be safe."
Is all that can be heard. Then just as quietly her heart stops beating and she sees the world no more. This is the sight that the Yondaime Hokage of Konohagakure no Sato walks into. A loud bellow of
"NOOOOOOOOO!"
is heard throughout all of Konoha and even the mighty beast Kyuubi no Kitsune pauses in its bloody slaughter in questioning what the almost inhuman cry was. It then gives way to muffled sobbing of a great man in his newly born son's chest.
"Naruto she's gone…your mother is gone…"
And almost as if he understood the newly born Naruto begins to cry.
"Naruto I'm sorry for what I'm about to do but it must be done, this is the only way the village and you can be safe. I'm sorry son."
With that the hearbroken and miserable Namikaze Minato leaves his dead wife's side and leaps out the window towards the battlefield.
A/N: Well this is my first attempt at a fanfiction I've been reading em forever now but this is just a precursor to the events that take place so um… all constructive criticism is whole-heartedly welcomed. Ja-ne
