This is my first story in the world of FanFiction and also will be one of the longest stories i've ever wrote. So bear with me if I make any mistakes or the like. Feedbacks are very welcome, bad or good. Just be respectful if it's a bad one. Reminders to update or urges to update would also satisfy me since it means people are enjoying my story.

Disclaimer : I do not own Naruto. If I did Minato and Kushina would still be alive and personally coaching Naruto to be way stronger than they ever were.

Namikaze Minato, the Yellow Flash of Konoha. Uzumaki Kushina, the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero. 2 Legends, 2 villages. Unknown to the villagers, they were married in secret in Kushina's homeland, the village hidden in the Whirlpools. Now a couple, Kushina had left her village to move in with Minato to Konoha. Now a Namikaze both in name and in person, she had thought that her life was perfect. Now if only her husband had lost their bet in killing around 900 Iwa nins single-handedly, she wouldn't even be here ...

Flashback

"So our bet still on?" Minato said cheerfully.

"OF COURSE ! I NEVER go back on my word, that's my ninja way !" Kushina practically shouted back, causing Minato, Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Obito and Rin to flinch from the sheer loudness of her voice.

"Sheesh relax man. I think I'll have a higher chance of going deaf than getting killed by those Iwa nins ..." Minato joked, causing Kushina to blush redder than her hair, something you don't get to see everyday.

"SO..." Kushina interrupted in an attempt to change the subject, " You're REALLY going into there by yourself ?" a hint of concern obvious in her voice.

Minato chuckled, trying to hold back his laughter. Kushina, slightly annoyed with his carefree personality asked/yelled "WHAT THE HELL IS SO FUNNY ?"

By now everyone except Kakashi had already joined in the laughter, even Kakashi had chuckled a little under that usually cold facade he wore usually.

By now, Kushina's face was again startting to get redder than her hair, only this time due to anger mixed with a little annoyance. Trying to keep her cool, she wore a fake smile and turned to Minato again.

"Dear Sir, may I ask you the reason as to why you are laughing ?" Kushina said as politely as possible. Minato, seeing this, remembered two sayings. One was from his teacher, the Sannin Jiraiya.

"Kid, remember this, when a woman talks to you in the most polite way possible after an argument, STOP arguing or doing anything that might irritate her more AT ALL COSTS. You'll regret it..." Minato, remembering this, gulped.

The other one was a saying from the Land of Whirlpools estabilished around 2 weeks after the Uzumaki clan was estabilished. The people, civilians and shinobis alike, had made a saying : "Never piss off the Uzumaki." Combined with what Jiraiya-sensei told him, Minato gulped. Again. Fearing the wrath of a woman.

Stifling his laughter, Minato turned to Kushina and sheepishly explained. " Sorry Sorry. It's just that I find it funny that you're concerned for me when you've never seen me fight before. The Iwa nins don't have a 'retreat on sight' order in their Bingo Book for nothing you know."

Meanwhile, the rest of the team sighed, all of them probably thinking the same thing : To think that their Sensei, the Yellow Flash of Konoha and possibly the best Shinobi of this time, was scared of a woman he just met three days ago... Quite a dissapointment as they sighed for the second time.

Rin and Obito fell behnd out of earshot, not wanting to be caught in an awkward conversation between their sensei and their "guide". Kakashi, however, didn't like Kushina at all and was hell bent on keeping them apart, interrupted them.

"Sensei, I think we're close. There's a large clearing ahead littered with lifeless bodies of both Uzu nin and Iwa nin."

Hearing this, Minato immediately went from 'carefree mode' to 'shinobi mode'. Kushina, however was annoyed at Kakashi for interrupting them when they were having such a good time together. However, she saw that she had no choice but to let it slide. She made a mental note to take revenge on Kakashi later on. For now, she got a fight to win.

The group stopped about 500 metres away from the earth fortress, hiding behind some rocks. Minato rubbed his hands together and took several deep breaths before taking out a scroll and unsealing it. With a poof of smoke, about ten identical bags appeared, he opened them and inside was what seemed to be his trademark weapon, the Tri-Kunai with the seal for Hiraishin no Jutsu; the technique which earned him the title of Yellow Flash. He then crossed his fingers and shouted "Kage Bunshin no Jutsu" as about 20 clones appeared. Taking out the Tri-Kunais, he tossed about ten to each clone and said, "Alright guys, listen up. Take these Tri-Kunais, go to those fortresses over there and toss them as near to the enemy as possible. Understood ? Ready...GO!" and the clones scattered.

The guard, seeing a streak of yellow coming from the back, hoped it wasn't who he thought it was. As the clones neared, he reported in to the leader with his radio. "Excuse me Ryuzo-sama, but we're under attack from what seemed to be shadow clones of HIM... The Yellow Flash..." he trailed off.

The reply came as a shockded voice demanding a report.

The guard reported nervously "No casualties Ryuzo-sama, no deaths, no injured, all they did was toss around three-pronged kunais with some kind of paper on them. Should we carry the 'retreat on sight' order ?"

The man called Ryuzo nodded. This was a pointless raid. A pointless raid with clones that had accomplished nothing. In other words, a distraction. "No. They're probably just clones for a distraction. Destroy them." He replied.

While the clones were busy throwing the Tri-kunais around, Kushina watched. Unimpressed. She turned to the so-called Yellow Flash who was surveying the field with his binoculars and said to him. "Hello, you sure you're the real Yellow Flash of Konoha ? All I see is you throwing around mere customised kunais which will hardly deal any damage to them. I'm not impressed."

Minato chuckled and replied "Don't worry, this is just setting up the stage for the Finale called 'The End of the Iwa Invasion."

This chapter is just a prologue and therefore very short. Starting from the next chapter it'll get longer and sometimes shorter depends on the time I have to write a chapter. Most likely it'll be about erm, 3000 - 6000 words ? Maybe even longer. Tell me how many words you think should be in one chapter and since this is my first story PLEASE review and tell me your first impressions about it. I'll be updating this story once every few days since i'm free around this time of the year. But around the busy times maybe i'll update it around once a week at its longest. As i said, all comments, good or bad are welcome as long as it's respectfully said. Till next time ~~
