"Talking"

'thinking'

-FF/Change POV-

Arashi watched in horror as the giant fox suddenly attacked the village. His son cried behind him. He grabbed the new born and teleported to his house. He put his son in a crib and paced. 'Three Hours. Three hours.' The clock seemed to say with every tick. Arashi put his head to the window. Three hours. The love of his life only had three hours left. Three hours until he lost her forever, and most of the village would probably go with her. He banged his head against the wall, until the cry of his son woke him out of his stupor. Arashi turned to look at the child. Realization hit him. He grabbed his son and ran to the hokage tower.
He summoned gamabunta, and rode out to meet the fox. He wiped a tear out of his eye as the fox looked at him, roaring angrily. He sighed, and began to do the handsigns. His son looked at him, confused. The fox noticed what Arashi was doing. It started to charge him, but it was too late. Already it was being sucked into his son. Arashi watched the fox dissappear, struggling to stop crying. The Fox's eye's suddenly opened in realization. It let out a strangled cry and then reached toward Arashi, falling to the ground in it's last breath. Arashi set his son down, and then fell off Gamabunta, landing where his love's head had been just minutes before. Sarutobi collected the crying child, and looked at the fallen kage. He wiped his tears, and walked away.

-FF to the Next Night-

Naruto was sleeping soundly in the crib. Red chakra began to spill from the child. A tall woman with firey red hair and deep red eyes looked at the child. She picked him up, and held him close, crying. "Oh my dear son, I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry. It's all my fault. I should've died. Not him. I'm so sorry, my beloved Naruto." She said, putting him down, and dissappearing.
