It was the day before the Kyuubi's attack, and the Yondaime, Arashi Uzumaki, was watching his darling wife, Hotaru, sleep.
A good friend of his, Hyuuga Hizashi, walked into the hospital room where Arashi's wife lay, sleeping, & pregnant.
Hizashi tapped Arashi on the shoulder, effectively getting his friend and leader's attention.
"Arashi, come on you need to get all you gear by the village gate; ALL of it. The Kyuubi is coming tomorrow." Arashi nodded, his eyes still on the beautiful woman sleeping in front of him.
Hizashi knew that Arashi wondered what would happen to his wife and unborn child, whom they would name Naruto, if it was a boy, and if it was a girl, Haruhi, or another nice name.
Hizashi, who cared about his life-long friend and village leader, dragged said leader by the ear towards Arashi's house, helping him collect all his important weapons, stuff, and gear.
After they put their assorted ninja gear into piles with their names on them by the North Gate, Hizashi bid the Yondaime farewell and they headed their separate ways: Hizashi to the Hyuuga clan complex, and Arashi headed to the hokage's office on the other side of the village, to think about the destruction and death that would come about tomorrow.
He contemplated what he would do when the powerful demon, known as the Kyuubi no Kitsune (1), headed toward his village. The Yondaime knew he might have sacrifice his life to protect the village and the family he loved. He had a technique that he read about in the ancient Scroll of Sealing that, if worst came to worst, would seal the mighty demon away. As he drifted off to sleep, he knew he would willingly die to keep his village & family safe.
Still, he couldn't help but think about his unborn child, and his wife, who he may never see again.
