It's a Bit Squint
A/N: I know I have another story to write, but I couldn't resist! BTW, "Squint" is British slang for "Crooked". My friend here on FF came up with the plot, but she asked me to write it out.

Prologue: A Seal Malfunctions
"I'm sorry, Kushina-chan... But, this needs to be done!" Minato quickly grabbed the blond bundle from Kushina's overprotective grip.
"NOOOOOO! Minato! Don't do this to our child!" She started weeping, painstakingly trying to push herself up.
"I'm sorry! But I have to!" Minato disappears in a yellow flash, tears dripping from his face.
"MIIIIIIINAAAAATOOOOOO!"
Minato later appeared on top of Gamabunta, the tears still flowing. "Hey kid, ya' alright?"
"Y-Yeah..." Gamabunta shifted an eye towards the crying man.
"That's your son, isn't it?"
"Y-Yes... I-I..."
"Kid, ya' have to do this. To save your village!"
"Y-You're right! But..." Minato stared at his newborn son, directly into his sky blue eyes. "He's my son."
"What's his name?" Minato looked at a name embroidered on the baby's blanket.
"Naruto. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze." He gazed fondly at Naruto, who had fallen asleep a minute ago.
"Such a lovely name. Ya' ready for this? There's no going back after this point."
"Yes, I'm ready." Minato hastily drew the foundation of the seal on Naruto's stomach, before teleporting off to the altar ahead. He lay Naruto gently on it, kissing the sleeping babe's head. "I'm sorry Naruto, I really am. But I need to do this..." Minato quickly flashed back on top of Gamabunta, not noticing a slight mistake in the seal pattern on the altar.
"Come on kid!" Minato nodded, and Gamabunta jumped towards a large nine-tailed fox. Once they were close, the fox turned to Minato, and released a loud roar. He held his hands up in an unfamiliar hand seal.
"FUIN!" The fox roared a final roar, before disappearing into the baby at the altar. A crackling was heard, before a tear formed above the sleeping Naruto. It started sucking everything in, but died down after Naruto disappeared inside it.
"No..." Minato's last breath was spent calling out to his son.
"NARUTO!"
