Chapter 1: Hokages Proposal, Kushinas Surprise.
The Village Hidden In The Leaves also called The Hidden Leaf Village is the most peaceful of the 5 great villages, every village has its secrets but this village is the most peaceful of all. But that didn't stop the village from facing enemies and showing their dark side when needed to win wars, and other small skirmishes here and there. The Leaf Village has been part of all of the 3 great ninja wars along with the other 4 great villages, but every war had major casualties which resulted in more hate and lust for power, which started more wars. The first shinobi world war consisted of all 5 villages warring on each other, after Hashirama the first hokage gave each village a tailed beast in order to maintain the peace and balance of power, throughout the shinobi world. The Second Shinobi War Consisted of Hidden Leaf Village, Hidden Sand Village, Hidden Rain Village, and Hidden Stone. Not much is known about the politics of this time and how it came to be, but one Nagato Uzumaki of the Hidden Rain, believes it to be the War the Leaf started. The Third Shinobi War and most known of all of them was a small war that started between The Hidden Leaf and The Hidden Stone, as they kept going back and forth during the fight they got alliances. The Hidden sand backed up the Leaf Village and The Hidden Cloud backed up the Stone Village, soon the Hidden Mist joined the war against The Leaf Village but ultimately the war ended when Minato Namikaze used his infamous Space/Time nin/fuinjutsu and decimated 1000 shinobi of the Hidden Rock, gaining him the name feared by most The Hidden Leafs Yellow Flash, first shinobi in history to we given a rank of SS, feared by many kage level shinobi, soon after the war ended he married one Kushina Uzumaki, current jinchuuriki of the Nine Tailed Fox known as Kyuubi...
Minato was having a good day, he just got back from a B rank mission with his student Kakashi, and was about to go give the mission report to Sarutobi, When out of no where he was tackled by a man twice his size.
"Owww, gaki watch where your going dammit"
as Minato was coming back to his senses he realized who it was that tackled him.
"Jiraiya sensei, you're the one who tackled into me, you should take your own advice" Minato said annoyingly, while rubbing his temples.
"Minato sensei I'll go hand in the mission report to Lord Third, you should go and enjoy the day"
said Kakashi in a bit of monotone voice, as he was about to grab the mission report from Minato.
"Nonsense" said Minato in a 'are you dumb' kind of way "look how good it is out Kakashi, you should go hang out with some of your chuunin friends your age, your not gonna be young forever you know". Minato said to his young apprentice, while ruffling his hair "besides me and Jiraiya are going to the Hokages Office anyways" Minato gave Jiraiya a piercing look that said "I'll tell Tsunade something that'll get you a beating' all over it.
"Y- Yeaaa, Kakashi, you don't need to worry yourself with something Minato has to do, We'll hand it in, you go and have a break" Jiraiya said too cheerily while thinking 'Damn Gaki, I wanted to go do some research before I saw the old man". Minato ushered Kakashi to be off and go enjoy the afternoon.
"Alright I guess?" Kakashi said then disappeared into the standard leaf shunshin.
"Soo! Sensei is there a particular reason why you were running so fast" asked Minato, but you could tell he knew what it was, from the way he spoke.
"Well Gaki earlier today I was doing some research, and i dropped off the branch and long story short, Girls in their towels were chasing after me" Jiraiya said while a small trickle of blood was coming out of his nose that he wiped away.
"Jeez, for a ninja you sure do stupid mistakes, you'd think you'd at least use your chakra to stick to the branch" said Minato in a voice that ensured he was more surprised at his dunce of a sensei then annoyed.
" Well if that's All I have to be on my way to deliver the mission report" said Minato as he was about to shunshin to the Hokage tower, but was stoped by Jiraiya.
"Wait Gaki, I forgot to show you something"
Jiraiya said while smirking, clearly indicating he was excited to show his student.
" Jiraiya sensei I swear if its another one of your books, I told you I am not interested, besides Kushina would kill me any ways, if she saw that book in my hands, not to mention Tsunade- Sama would kill me and YOU" said Minato in a scared tone, it wasn't a secret to anyone that knew the couple that Minato was COMPLETELY whipped by his wife Kushina.
"No NO it's not that" Jiraiya said while he shuddered a bit as to what Tsunade would do to him. After he recovered from his shock he held out his hand as if he was holding an invisible ball in it, and concentrated for a few seconds.
"Sensei it nearly took you long enough" Minato said, knowing what it is his sensei was about to do in front of him, then tiny strings of chakra started to swirl into Jiraiyas Palm and became a small ball that got bigger and bigger as more chakra got condensed into it, the end result was a super condensed blue chakra ball the size of a slightly larger then usual coconut.
" See Gaki, I can do it too now, takes up a considerable amount of chakra, but the results are priceless" Jiraiya said as he smashed it into the nearest tree to him, and saw it shred into the tree then explode, sending wood chips every where. It was clear to Minato that Jiraiya still didn't have it perfected as for that he should be able to make one at a fraction of a second, but decided to let him have his moment.
"Alright Jiraiya sensei was that all you needed to show me, because I'm on a busy schedule here" he said in a bored tone, while twirling one of his hirashin kunais on one finger, further showing his boredom.
"Aha-Ha-ha, no Gaki guess that is it" said Jiraiya while scratching the back of his head, with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"Alright then" said Minato turning around about to leave the clearing
"Guess I'll see you tomorrow then" said Minato while his back still turned. Not getting a quick reply Minato had an amused look on his face and continued.
"Wait... you didn't forget did you?, Tsunade-Sama's birthday party!" , Jiraiya suddenly got a scared look on his face.
"Oh Fuck no, Tsu-hime is gonna kill me, I still need to find a Present for her" Jiraiya said and having a depressed look appear on his face, knowing what Tsunade would do if he forgot, and it involved her superhuman monstrous strength and his face, and he did not ever want to be on the opposing side of her punched EVER again not after the fateful day, he peeked on her while she was in the women side of the hot springs, and to this day Jiraiya claimed that was the closest to a near death experience he's ever had, and if he could ever do it again, he would do it in a heartbeat. While Jiraiya was having something as close to a mental breakdown as possible Minato thought it was the time to head on.
"As much as I love seeing you almost cry sensei, I really have to go and hand this report in to Hokage-sama" said Minato and soon left with a quick cloud shunshin [I don't know what this is actually called, it looks as if a shadow clone has exploded, Kakashi uses it several times]
"Well I guess I better go to a store and find something Tsu-hime will like" he said solemnly, but soon got a perverted look on his face as well as a small nosebleed to go along with it.
"HeHeHe, if I try I might even get lucky!" then he spent the rest of his day daydreaming about Tsunade and more importantly finding a present.
With Minato
If there was one thing that this blond jonin hated more than anything in this world it was mission reports, he got why they were important, but that did not stop him from hating them nonetheless, many people thought of him as someone who enjoyed reading and writing and other stuff that required patience, but little did they know they were wrong, the only things Minato enjoyed reading were ninja related scrolls, and only one story book that his sensei wrote 'Tale of a Gutsy Ninja' did not enjoy it much for the literature, but more so for the message. So it was this why Minato disliked mission reports, just paperwork that was boring. Although that wasn't the only reason he was going to the Hokages office today, before the B rnk mission Sarutobi, asked that after the mission he had to tell him something very important, and must know Minato's answer. Whatever this might be has been bugging Minato throughout all of his mission and was the reason, he told kakashi to go on and have the day off. Little did Minato know, it was something that would ultimately change his life.
After Minato arrived to the Hokage tower via shunshin, he went straight upstairs into the top level of the tower, and was met by the secretary who was one of his MANY fangirls.
"Oh, Helloo, Minato-kun" said the no-name secretary in a seductive tone, that screamed, 'be mine!'
"Hi there... I, uh, just needed to go speak to Hokage- sama about something and give him my report, could you let me in " Minato said to the secretary while sweating a bit.
"ohh, I can assure youu, I'd let you into a alottt, of other thingss tooo" said the secretary, again seductively, making Minato shake his head at how shameful people can be nowadays.
"Listen I've told you before I am married, now let me in or I will go in by force and tell Lord Third of your unprofessional behaviour" said Minato in a tone that indicated that he meant business.
"Alright Alright, calm down" said the secretary trying to maintain her job, she then pushed a green button on her desk that made a BUZZZZZ and then talked into a microphone
"Hokage-sama, Minato-san has returned from his mission and wishes to speak with you" said the secretary in a formal tone.
"Yes, yes, let him in" said the Third Hoakage as he was packing his pipe with tobacco. Minato entered the office only to see Sarutobi under a monstrous pile of work while smoking out of his pipe.
"you know that kills you right?, no wonder Asuma, already smokes cigerettes, every time I see him, guess it runs in the family" said Minato in a amused tone, knowing his words had little to no effect on the hokage.
"when you've lived for as long as I've had, you stop caring for the things that can kill you, especially considering being a shinobi, many don't live past 35, some lucky to make it to 50" the Hokage said in a boring tone.
"So why exactly is it you've called me here Hokage-sama" Minato said, getting right to the reason he was here. Sarutobi then got up from his chair.
"come here with me boy" he said in a calm voice ushering Minato to the balcony of the hokage tower.
"now you've probably noticed but I am not getting any younger" Hiruzen said jokingly, taking another drag from his pipe.
"Hokage-sama, what exactly is this about?" Minato said in a confused tone, scratching his head.
Hiruzen decided to get right to the point, seeing no point in further stalling.
"my boy, I've called you here today to inform you that I'm stepping down from my position as the hokage" Hiruzen said, in a serious tone.
"Lord Third, this is some great news, but who are you choosing as your successor." Minato said wondering who the shinobi or kunoichi could be. Hiruzen then turned towards Minato and said to him with a smile on his face.
"It's you my boy, me and the council have decided that you would be a perfect fit, you're definitely a kage level shinobi, the will of fire burns deeply in you, I can't think of anyone better." Hiruzen said with a soft smile, leaving Minato shocked as to what the third hokage just asked of him, partly feeling honoured as well.
"lor-d hokage, are y-you serious a-about this..." was all Minato was able to stammer out still shocked.
"Yes Minato, I quite frankly am being serious. I'll need your answer to this question by tomorrow evening" said the hokage in a serious tone. While making his way back into his office.
"Now off with you, do you not have places to be!" said Hiruzen in an annoyed tone, wanting Minato to go do some thinking on his answer.
"Alright, Lord Hokage, I'll discuss this with Kushina and Jiraiya sensei, I'll have my answer ready by tomorrow evening" said Minato in a monotone voice, shortly disappearing afterwards in a standard cloud shunshin. The hokage had a vein throbbing as he saw a large pile of paper work on his desk.
"Oh Minato, relieve me from this hell." said the hokage in a sad tone, as he started stamping more documents.
With Kushina
The day had been a roller coaster for Kushina. She went to her family doctor this morning, after feeling pretty sick for the past couple of days, she did not want it to get worse. Then also Minato was supposed to arrive sometime today, he wrote her a letter telling her he'd be back home anytime today. But what truly was on her mind is what she found out today at the doctors.
Flashback
Kushina was heading over to her doctor this early in the morning, she had some weird pains in the stomach and kept feeling nauseous for the past couple of days, she did not know what was going on, she has never felt sick before, it is one of the gifts that came along with being a jinchuriki. So her feeling sick like this was the first time it has happened and that was truly worrying. She arrived to the door of her family doctors building, went inside and proceeded to go up the stairs. As she arrived to the office she knocked on the door and waited for a reply. After a while the door was opened by one Tsunade Senju also known as the best medic ninja currently in the whole shinobi nations.
"hello there Kushina, what was the emergency, you made an appointment for this early in the morning" said Tsunade she was rubbing her temples, indicating she had a headache.
"don't tell me you have a hangover, Tsunade-sama, it's your birthday tomorrow, couldn't you wait till then" said Kushina, in a clearly annoyed tone, which had little to no effect on Tsunade. Tsunade then took a notepad and sat in a chair, as did Kushina, and started asking questions.
"so why is it you're here today Kushina, you don't look injured" asked tsunade, to which Kushina immediately responded.
"Stomache cramps, nauseous feeling all the time, sweating a lot, oh and did I mention STOMACHE CRAMPSS" Kushina screamed the last part, and was red in the face with either anger or pain.
Tsunade knew right away what was wrong with kushina, and activated her 'mystic palm' jutsu and scanned Kushinas whole stomach/pelvic area. After a couple minutes what Tsunade suspected did in fact prove to be true, and a faint smile appeared on her face. She deactivated the jutsu and turned her head to kushina.
"Well I can tell you one thing for sure, everything you're experiencing is infact norm-" she did not get to finish her sentence when Kushina just blurted out.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN NORMAL, I'VE NEVER FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE" screamed Kushina in a small change of mood.
"let me finish what I was saying Kushina..." said Tsunade in a more then angry tone, but as soon as she finished her sentence, she had a smile once again on her face.
"the test I just ran proved one thing to be correct..." said Tsunade causing more suspense for Kushina, she was about to tell Tsunade to spit it out when, Tsunades next few words, shut her right up.
"You Kushina Uzumaki are going to be a mom" those few words were all it took to make Kushina wide eyed, for the following minutes. After which she just managed to say.
"I'm going to have a baby?" still rattled about what she just heard.
"Yes Kushina that is what being a mom means" said Tsunade with a large sweat drop on her head. Kushina was still stunned but grew a small smile, which later turned into a huge grin.
"I'm gonna be a mom, I'M GONNA BE A MOM, I'M GONNA BE A MOMMM" she screamed delighted by what she just heard, she was screaming with joy, but was soon brought down by Tsunade.
"Kushina calm down, you do know what this means right?" said Tsunade again gaining a stern tone. Kushina became confused as to what Tsunade was getting at.
"What do you mean Tsunade- sama?" asked Kushina confused. To which Tsunade responded a bit solemnly.
" You're a female Jinchuriki, when you give birth, the seal holding back the Kyubi will be in a weakened state and so will you, allowing it to escape easily, now lucky for you, Minato is an excellent sealing master and if he for some reason isn't there we have Jiraiya, but you will need to keep your information about being pregnant down low, for if Cloud or Stone hears even a tiny little bit about it, they will not stop to attack, and get there hands on another tailed beast". Said Tsunade knowing her point got across.
"well since we have it covered, why not celebrate a little, I mean I still have to tell Mina-" she never completed her sentence as she thought about what she would tell Minato, what if he wasn't ready for a kid yet, would he flip?. Her mind was racing between different things that could go wrong here. She was broken out of her little spaced out moment by Tsunade.
"Don't worry about the little Gaki, trust me he'll be more than happy to have another Namikaze around" said Tsunade breaking the little depressive thought Kushina was having.
' Yea, he won't care, He'll be super happy I bet, Minato isn't that kind of guy, to be disappointed by something like this' thought Kushina, she soon left the office and was on her way home, when she walked into her Best Friend Mikoto Uchiha.
"Hey Mikoto hows it going" asked Kushina in her energetic attitude. If one would notice under Mikotos baggy clothing was a fat stomache, as she was 8 months pregnant at this time.
"nothing Kushina just craving some tomatoes, this one sure as hell loves them". She said smiling and rubbing her tummy a bit. Kushina decided she would tell Mikoto of her own pregnancy as well.
"Mikoto guess what, Im gonna be a mom!" Kushina told Mikoto hoping to see her reaction.
"O MY GOD KUSHINA THAT'S PERFECT" said Mikoto clearly delighted at the fact her and her best friends kids would be the same age. They continued there chatter talking about how they were gonna have play dates for there children with each other and other mom stuff. After they were Kushina decided it was time to go home and cook dinner, and tell Minato.
Flash Back End
With Minato and Kushina
Minato appeared outside of his and kushina's apartment, with the hokages offer, he thought about much more stuff as well, he always planned having kids soemday, to pass on all his knowledge to and see them become shinobi to be trifled with someday, maybe it was time to start talking to Kushina about children. He pricked a bit of his thumb wiht the sharp end of a kunai and rubbed it on the seal to the right of the door, it was designed so that the blood of him or kushina could only open it, and the blood had to be fresh within minutes of leaving the body, so no one could break into the apartment. The door opened and he walked in to be greeted to the smell of.
"RAMEN!" screamed Minato his most favourite food in the world, but Kushina barely ever made it so that means there was definitely a reason as to why she made it today, he'd find out later, now he wanted to eat the food of the gods.
"Hey Minato-kun" said Kushina with a wide smile on her face.
"Hey Kushina-chan, ramen today, whats the special occasion" said Minato jokingly. Taking off his sandals at the door.
"Minato-kun I went to Tsunade-sama today to get a quick checkup.." said Kushina still a bit nervous. Minato made his way over to her and held her shoulders.
"Is everything alright Kushina-chan" he asked ina worried tone. Kushina soon got a hug grin on her and decided to spill it out.
" Im pregnant!" she said loudly, soon waiting for Minatos answer. He dropped the plate that he leg go of her shoulders and just was shocked for a bit. Coincidence eh, he was just thinking of asking Kushina if she wanted to try and conceive a child and here she tells him that shes pregnant. He had the biggest smirk on his face that you can think of and picked up Kushina screaming.
"I am going to be a father hear that, world, I am going to have a kid!" he screamed to the heavens, luckily there was a silencing seal on the whole apartment. He was beyond happy he couldn't believe it in just a short while he was going to have a son of daughter that he could pass everything onto, it was like a dream come true, he was later after dinner gonna tell Kushina about the proposal the Hokage had for him and ask her for her opinion, as to if he should take it or not. After they ate the ramen they headed off to bed. As they just laid there Minato thought it was time to bring it up.
" hey Kushina." he said to her
"yes Minato" she replied turning towards him now, wondering what he was gonna say.
"I went to the hokage tower today, as was requested after my mission" said Minato still not getting to the point.
" are you gonna say what happened, or do you just think I know" said Kushina, in an annoyed tone.
"he asked me to be the 4th Hokage" said Minato cutting to the chase. Leaving Kushina astonished, to be chosen as a successor was a big honour indeed one which Kushina pursued to be before but gave up on it as she was more of a field ninja. She was however really happy for Minato, and hoped he'd take up the job.
"Thats such an honour Minato. You said yes right?" she said to him esthetically.
"I said I'd think about it and tell him tommrow" said Minato scratching the back of his head. At that Kushinas mood took a whole 360 when she heard what Minato said.
"YOU SAID WHAT" she said her hair starting to wave in 9 locks.
"the hokage asks you to take up the mantel and you say, you'll think on it, Minato Namikaze you go there first thing in the morning and tell him you'll take the job" said Kushina with fire in her eyes. Scaring the living hell out of Minato.
"Y-Yes Kushina" he stammered out knowing his answer that he will tell the hokage, tommrow will be one hell of a day for Minato Nzmikaze that was assured.
