Chapter 2
Birth of a Hero
It is a typical day in the village of Konoha, the sun is shining radiantly in the sky and there is hardly a cloud to be seen. Now today isn't exactly a normal day, it is the greatest day of Namikaze Minato's life as today is the day his wife will give birth to their first child. Minato couldn't be any happier as he had also recently become Hokage. Minato knew that when Kushina went into labor that her seal would weaken, but he didn't care. He would find a way around that obstacle though, there's a reason he's in the Bingo Book ya'know.
"Hey, Minato are you prepared for tonight," asked the previous Hokage Sarutobi? "Sarutobi, you know almost as well as my wife, of course I'm ready," said a shocked Minato. Minato then took a moment to collect himself by glancing at all the objects in his office as Sarutobi said, "Minato you know better than anyone else that I trust you with my life, but this is the Nine-Tailed Fox we are dealing with and we cannot afford to take any chances". "That is why I've called upon Jiraiya to aid us tonight, just for a little extra insurance Minato", added Sarutobi. Minato then stood up and walked to the center of his office with a smirk on his face. As Minato walked Sarutobi couldn't help but look on enviously, Minato was the envy of the ninja community. He was the strongest and pretty much the best looking. Minato was a good man though, never abusive of his power and always the humble one. "Sarutobi would you please excuse," said Minato now in the center of the room as he then Hiraishined away. "Damn I wish I could do that," exclaimed an even more envious Sarutobi.
Minato had just materialized outside the hospital when he noticed Lady Tsunade of the Sannin staring up at the sky. Tsunade had the appearance of an attractive woman in her mid 20's with a very large bust. It may have been a genjutsu but it was still a sight to behold. "Oi Tsunade, how's my lovely wife doing" asked Minato. "Kushina is doing great right now Minato, but it's about time to move her to your compound," answered Tsunade. "If my calculations are correct then Kushina will be going into labor in about an hour, " Tsunade added. "I see, do you know where Jiraiya is," asked Minato. "Yes, he is already at your compound awaiting us," answered Tsunade. "Ok, but first let me talk to Kushina before we take her to the compound," said Minato. "Of course but don't take too long, we don't wanna accidentally let out the Nine Tail's now do we," joked Tsunade. "Don't jinx it now Tsunade," laughed Minato as he ran into the hospital to see his pregnant wife. Within moments he was at her door and then in her room. He noticed that she was napping an couldn't help but admire her features. As he caressed her face with his hand her eyes slowly opened and she smiled. "Minato, I was beginning to wonder if you would make it," said a tired Kushina. "Do you really believe that I would miss the birth of my first child, or that I would entrust the love of my life to the pervy sage," questioned Minato. With neither he nor Kushina able to keep a straight face they both burst out laughing. "Alright now Kushina, can you stand," asked Minato. "Yes Minato," answered Kushina as she stood up and put a hand on Minato's shoulder. Minato then performed the Hiraishin and teleported to his secret compound.
Minato now at his compound laid Kushina down on an already set up hospital bed that rested atop of a strange seal. Kushina's eyes suddenly opened widely as she exclaimed, "my water is breaking," ! "Don't worry Kushina, we're here to help you through this," soothed Tsunade. "Now try pushing," she gently added. "Aaaaah," screamed Kushina. "Come on Kushina you can do this, the baby's head is already crowning just keep pushing," encouraged Minato. "Aaaaaah KAMI," screamed Kushina as she delivered her first born son into the world. "Kushina look at him, our beautiful little son, what should we name him," asked Minato. "It's ok Minato, I know what you want to name him, go ahead," answered Kushina. "Then Naruto it is," exclaimed an excited Minato. "Wait, you realize that will make me the god father of your son," exclaimed an exasperated Jiraiya. "Sensei, we wouldn't have it any other way," said a happy Minato. Minato and Jiraiya then shaired a quick hug when suddenly a strange figure in a robe materialized through the wall of his compound. "Stranger, identify yourself," cried out an angry Minato. "Doom….I am yours and Konoha's doom," answered the ominous figure. The figure then pulled down his hood revealing extremely long hair and an orange mask with a flame swirl on it. "No…it's impossible, how are you alive….MADARA UCHIHA," screamed Sarutobi.
