Prologue part 2: The aftermath
At the Konoha Hospital we find Hiruzen Sarutobi still in his battle armor, standing in the waiting room as he watched shinobi ranking both chunin and jonin with some Anbu who were off duty, being brought in with injuries they received from the battle against the kyuubi. He had known this was what you could expect from a battle of this magnitude but he still felt his heart hurt every time he heard a nurse call for a stretcher or for another to enter the ER, which to him were too many. He made a mental note about not having many medical shinobi in the village and the ones they did have were not trained enough to handle this many casualties.
He was brought out of his thoughts when a very young silver haired anbu appeared in kneeling in front of him "Inu? What is it you need of me?"
Inu stood up and stood at attention in front of the aged man "Sarutobi-Sama, you have been called in for a meeting with the council and elders"
Hiruzen was confused about what the council would want from him "were you informed about for what reason the meeting was called and who called it? I would assume the clans have more important matters such as repairing their compounds and re-establishing order among their clansman."
Inu shook his head "I am not sure who had called the meeting but it was labeled urgent, so it must be important"
Hiruzen had a sinking feeling about what the meeting could be but he nodded his head "very well Inu. I will head there immediately. However!" the hokage looked into the eye slots in Inus mask "you are to guard room '108'! I already have guards for that room but I would feel more at ease if you were also there to look over the occupants"
Inu would have asked who it was he was guarding but he trusted Hiruzen's judgement "very well Sarutobi-sama" and with that Inu vanished from sight
Hiruzen took a deep breath before sighing and looking back towards the hallway that lead to the room he sent Inu 'I hope this goes well' he thought before he shunshined away
~at the Hokage tower~
Hiruzen walked into the council room seeing that everyone from the shinobi council and the civilian council as well as the elders. He was the last one to arrive and he made his way to where the hokage would sit, since due to protocol stating that if the hokage is unavailable due to certain circumstances such as urgent matters or death and if no successor has been appointed, a representative will be placed as a temporary replacement. Once Hiruzen had taken his seat he began to address those in attendance "may I ask who was it that called this meeting and for what reason?"
One of the elders spoke up to Hiruzen's left "I had called this meeting Hiruzen" and it was shown to be Danzo who spoke "I have called this meeting to discuss who will be the next Hokage"
Hiruzen Immediately glared at his old teammate. He figured that Danzo would try and pull something like this but he didn't expect it to be this soon. Hiruzen kept silent as he decided to see where this might go
Hiruzen wasn't the only one that wasn't pleased by what Danzo said. Tsume Inuzuka, head of the Inuzuka clan was outraged at how Danzo could just brush aside Minato so quickly when the attack only happened hours ago "you damn one eyed bastard! We just got through a major attack and you call us here just so you could get into the Hokage seat faster!"
Hiruzen was secretly glad that many of the shinobi on the council looked to be of the same mindset. They all knew that Danzo had been aiming for the seat of Hokage for years and would try anything to get it. One thing that only very few knew about, was that Danzo had his own set of Anbu that he trained to be emotionless and obedient to him alone. "Tsume stand down. Danzo, this is a rather inappropriate time to bring this up so I must ask you not to speak of such things at this time"
Danzon did not like this and he chose to continue "now is the perfect time for this. Since the Yondaime has died from the sealing, we must appoint a new hokage at once so the other villages don't take this chance to attack us!"
Hiruzen caught onto what Danzo said "and how is it that you know this Danzo? No one should know about this, other than the ones that were there" Hiruzen asked narrowing his eyes
Danzo brushed off the staring he was getting from not only Hiruzen but some from the Shinobi council "I have my sources but let's get back to the matter at hand". Danzo had actually sent one of his root agents to the site when he saw the pillar of light and although his agent didn't see the whole thing, the agent did see the shinigami vanish from behind the yondaime who collapsed onto the ground and the three babies in the alter. Danzo had quickly deduced that Minato had used the shinigami to seal the kyuubi into the three children and that it was at the cost of his life. He saw this as the perfect opportunity to obtain what he was after "we should set up an appointment with the Daimyo so we can discuss this"
The civilian council all agreed with Danzo while most of the shinobi council began to argue the point. The only ones that weren't in the argument were Fugaku Uchiha, who began to think about his clan and if he could use this to get something out of it. Shibi Aburame kept silent as he did not see the purpose of arguing when logically they should focus on village repairs. Hiashi Hyuga sat there trying not to add to the argument as he argument as he was more concerned about the state of his compound
The argument kept going with Hiruzen trying to calm everyone down so they could get some real progress done
~meanwhile back at the hospital~
Kakashi stood in front of hospital room 108 on guard duty as he sensed several other anbu members hidden in the shadows. No one was allowed into the room, not even them. They were only allowed in, if they sensed anything enter the room. Kakashi was told that protecting the occupants inside was the highest priority. Kakashi didn't even know who was in the room but he stood diligently, since this kind of mission was the kind he would gladly give his life for, protecting members of the leaf
~inside room 108~
The room was covered in shadows with the only light coming from the bit of moonlight that leaked through the clouds. Out of the shadows in a corner of the room came out a figure that had Ice blue iris' that scanned the room until it spotted what it was looking for. Making its way to its target, it stood over a hospital bassinet that held a baby. The figure looked down at the baby taking in it's features, the small tuft of blonde hair, the three whisker marks on each of it's cheeks but what really grabbed it's attention was the symbol that was in the center of the baby's forehead. Reaching out to the symbol, the figure gently pressed one of it's three digits on the symbol and it could feel that the symbol was genuine. The figure gave a small smile as it spoke "finally. After several millennia, I have finally found you…...my prince" the figure spoke gently in a feminine voice. The clouds outside had started to part, letting in more moonlight to show that the figure was Renamon, who moved her paw to gently run through the baby's hair and running down his face. Once her paw got to his cheek, he lifted both his hands and grabbed onto one of her digits, hugging it closely. Renamon smiled as the baby cooed and snuggled into her finger. She was tempted to take the baby away so she could keep an eye on him and protect him, but as she looked around seeing the other occupants she chose not to. She didn't have the heart to tear him away from his family so she vowed to be his silent protector, to watch out for him and to keep him safe. She was brought out of her thoughts when she felt movement coming from her right, looking over she saw that the person in the bed was waking up. Slowly removing her paw from the babies grasp, she bent down and gently placed a kiss on his symbol "be well, my prince" and with that she vanished from sight
The occupant of the bed groaned, as words were heard from somewhere in the room "be well, my prince". Eyes shooting open and looking towards where the voice was and barely catching a faint outline before it disappeared. The occupant got up from the bed and quickly walked into the moonlight to show it was Kushina Uzumaki as she quickly went to check on her babies. She sighed in relief to see that all three of them were sound asleep and she smiled at them. Her smile dropped when she remembered what was done to them, and she felt her anger towards Minato rise but she quickly quelled it so she doesn't disturbed her children. She then noticed the symbol on one of her baby's forehead and began to examine it, to see if it was some sort of seal that was placed on him which just made her anger rise more at the idea of someone slapping another seal on him after all that happened
The door suddenly burst open with Inu barging in after feeling the slight rise in chakra and killing intent, it wasn't much and barely lasted a second but the Anbu caught it and got ready to attack. Inu paused as he came in and saw Kushina standing there over three babies "Kushina-sama?"
Kushina looked at Inu as well as the anbu squad behind him and figured they were on protective detail. She thought about the night before and something came to mind 'what happened to…..'. Kushina turned to glare at Inu, making him and the anbu squad gulp in fear, not wanting to be the target of her ire "Inu! Where is Hiruzen?!"
~back in the council room~
The meeting had devolved into yelling at each other as none of them could agree on the placement of the hokage. Some were yelling for one of the last two loyal sanin to take up the office, others were saying the Hiruzen should take back the office. The civilian council as well as the elders were saying that they should let Danzo take up office and bring the village back into greatness.
Hiruzen felt like he could leave, get a drink, read a few chapters of his favorite book, return and the meeting would still be going with the same crap they were still talking about. He wished for anything to stop this meeting 'a diplomate coming from a far away village, a rogue ninja attack, a meteor coming at their village…..is there anything worse than that?'. He was brought out of his thoughts when he and the rest of the people in the room felt massive KI aimed directly at the room itself. He could hear the stomps coming their way as if a beast was coming for them. Then out of the blue the double doors were blown off their hinges, bringing up a mass of smoke and embedded themselves into the wall. Hiruzen looked towards the dust cloud at the door and he saw that coming out of it, was Kushina Uzumaki, he could see that her hair was flowing behind her as if they were the nine tails of the kyuubi itself, her eyes were glowing a white light and he knew she was on a warpath 'I would prefer the meteor than this!'.
Kushina began to slowly stomp….not walk, stomp! Her way towards him and he began to pray that his death would be swift, the thought of her being awake didn't even cross his mind. He was once called "The Professor" or the "Kami of shinobi" but right now he felt like he was an ant fighting against the summon toad Gamabunta
Kushina now stood in front of Hiruzen and stared into his soul "mind telling me what the hell YOU PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT!"
Hiruzen felt like he became a waterfall of sweat with his tongue became still and he couldn't move his mouth to say anything. It was Danzo that spoke up since everyone else in the room were right now wetting themselves or in the case of the civilian council fainting. "We are discussing who will become the fifth hokage"
Kushina turned her head to look at the one eyed mummy "the village is in the middle of a crisis! The people are in a panic trying to get their nerves back and you people are SITTING ON YOUR ASS TALKING ABOUT SHIT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT!"
Danzo narrowed his already narrow eye and stared back at Kushina "that is precisely why we need to appoint a new hokage as soon as possible. This village needs new leadership to repair all the mistakes of the previous hokages". If looks could kill, Danzo would have been destroyed, scared back to life, disintegrated and his spirit would be pulling the shinigami himself to the afterlife. Danzo himself began to sweat a bit at the rage he felt from the woman
Kushina wanted to kill the man right then and there but she was stopped by someone else
"Kushi-chan, please calm down. You are going to give some of the council members heart attacks"
Everyone looked to the door to see a staggering, panting Minato holding himself up with the doorframe
Hiruzen felt a bit of relief as he saw Kushina's husband "ah Minato, good to see you awake"
Minato gave a dry chuckle as he slumped to the ground "ha….ha….. not the best wake up call I have ever received"
Flashback
Kushina turned to glare at Inu, making him and the anbu squad gulp in fear, not wanting to be the target of her ire "Inu! Where is Hiruzen?!"
Inu knew not to delay his answer if he wanted to live to see the next day "he is in the middle of a council meeting that was called but I don't know what it is for" he answered at a fast pace and hoped that Kushina would spare him
Kushina saw red because by looking at the clock, she could tell that only a few hours passed since the kyuubi attack, and there shouldn't be a meeting when they should be focusing on getting the village in order not have a meeting. She turned around and walked up to the other bed in the hospital room, passing by her three children and stood next to an unconscious Minato. She had seen him when she woke up and a part of her was happy to see that he was in a hospital bed instead of a morgue but the rest of her was furious at the man for making her babies jinchuriki. She looked down at the man with a smile on her face and spoke "Mi~na~to~ kun~" in an overly sweet voice before she lifted her fist up and slammed hard into the man's stomach forcing his legs and upper body to fold in on each other. Minato's eyes shot wide open due to the force of the blow and then felt another force hit him in the face
Inu as well as the Anbu squad stood back and chose not to move as their hokage was getting the life beaten out of him. Inu was happy to see that his sensei was alive and well, since the word that was going around was that he had died when he performed a sealing jutsu but the fear he had for Kushina outweighed any joy he felt as he stood there listening to the cries of mercy he was hearing
"AH! Kushina-chan! Stop please! That doesn't bend that way! Not the face! Whatever I did I'm sorry! MEEEERRRRRRRCCCCCYYYYYYY!"
What confused Inu even more was the fact that the three babies that were sleeping in their bassinets were doing just that…...sleeping. As if the cries of pain their father was letting out didn't bother them, in fact they looked like it might have been a lullaby to them.
Ater Kushina had stopped her beating, Minato got up from the floor very slowly and looked up at Kushina "Kushina? Wha….?" he looked around to realize that he was in a hospital room and…..he was in pain. Which meant that he was alive "but…...how…?"
Kushina grabbed him by the collar and began to shake him violently "do you have any idea on what you did to our babies!? You are going to be sleeping on the couch until all three of them become jonin and if one of them chooses not to be a shinobi than that means that you will be sleeping on the couch forever!"
Minato felt like his head was about to fly off and he could feel his brain sloshing back in forth in his head. He was saved when a cough was heard from behind his wife
Inu had gotten their attention by coughing in his fist "um….Hokage-sama, I would like to inform you that a council meeting is underway and I think it would be beneficial if you were to inform them that you are alive"
Kushina stopped shaking Minato for a second as she remembered about her anger towards the council "thats right! Those idiots are having a meeting right now!" and while still holding Minato by the collar she began to walk towards the door, dragging the limp man who had swirls in his eyes.
Inu and the Anbu squad stepped out of the woman's way and watch as she passed them. As she made it to the door of the hospital room she stopped and looked back at Inu "you are to make sure that my babies stay safe. If anything happens to them and I mean ANYTHING! There will be nowhere for you to hide" she spoke in a dark voice as all the anbu could swear they saw the shinigami pop up from behind her. They all nodded mechanically at the woman who then began to run down the hall. They all looked out the window just in time to see Kushina jump from the rooftops dragging Minato like a ragdoll.
Once Kushina was out of sight they all let out a breath they didn't know they were holding. Inu turned to the three babies that still slept and walked to the wall opposite them and leaned on it with his arms crossed, keeping an eye on them.
Another Anbu dropped down from the shadows and observed the babies. The new anbu was a young female, that looked to be around the same age as Inu, that had long purple hair, wore a cat mask and had a katana that had no guard strapped to her back. She reached out to the female baby, who had red hair and unlike her brothers she had no whisker marks on her face. She had gently poked the baby's face and smiled underneath her mask when the baby grabbed onto her finger
Inu got curious about the babies since Neko was playing with one and he made his way to the third one. He looked at the one that looked just like Naruto but had a bit more hair and didn't have the symbol on his forehead. He bent down a bit with his arms still crossed as he looked at the baby. The baby, who's name tag said Menma, seemed restless as he kept moving in his sleep. Inu could only imagine what the baby would end up like when he's older
~outside the Hokage tower~
Kushina landed in front of the tower and her anger was palpable, since along the way she saw the destroyed shops, homes and the people that were either repairing what they could or trying to find someone. She dropped Minato on the ground as she entered the tower and made her way towards the council chamber. She was vaguely aware of Minato slowly getting up and following her
Minato slowly made his way to the council chamber, knowing Kushina was heading there and as he was making his way he heard someone speak inside "...new leadership to repair all the mistakes of the previous hokages". Minato immediately knew who was speaking and made his way towards the open doorway
Flashback end
"...and that leads us up to now" Minato finished tell how he woke up, as Kushina filled in some of the empty spots Minato didn't know about since he was unconscious when Kushina woke up
Kushina had kept what she saw to herself as she thought it might have been a figment of her imagination.
Minato had looked at all the council members that were still conscious from Kushina's KI and regained the composure he had when he had to be hokage "this meeting you have called Danzo has no purpose whatsoever and therefore whatever matter you wished to discuss WILL wait until the village is back on its feet but since I have you here, I have orders for all of you!" Danzo gritted his teeth but complied with the Hokage. Minato then looked upon the shinobi council "Fugaku, Hiashi, Tsume I want you three to head over to the top of the Hokage monument. I faced a man there that was the cause for the kyuubi attack, I want the three of you to see if you could find any trace of the man and track him down. I am sending Tsume for her ninken, they might be able to find his scent, Hiashi for his byakugan and Fugaku I am sending you because the man…..possesses a sharingan" Minato could see the anger in Fugaku's eyes and already knew what he was thinking "Fugaku, I am not blaming the uchiha clan for this but the man did possess a sharingan and if Tsume or Hiashi are able to track him down, then with your knowledge on it, can battle the man on more even terms. Now I don't know if the man was an uchiha or it was implanted since I could only see the one eye itself but either way, I want to cover all ends. If you are unable to track him down, Fugaku I want you to go through your clan, discreetly, and see if anyone was missing during the time and go over all who might have perished to make sure that nothing was taken from them"
Fugaku hated the fact that the hokage was even insinuating that an uchiha might have been responsible for the attack but nodded his head in acknowledgement as well as the other two he would be going. He also despised the idea of working with a hyuga since their clans have bad blood between them
Minato nodded as he looked towards Hiruzen "Hiruzen I want you to get in touch with both Jiraiya and Tsunade. I am issuing a recall order to the two of them, they are to return to the village immediately and they are to meet with me as soon as they arrive and I don't want any excuses from them"
Hiruzen nodded at the order, feeling somewhat happy at being able to see two of his students return to the village
Minato then looked to the rest of the council "the rest of you are to go back to your compounds and settle down your clansmen and begin reconstruction if your compounds have been damaged and that goes for the civilian council as well go home and begin repairs. That is all! you are all dismissed!" he finished up not wanting to hear anymore from the elders and wanted to get back to bed. He turned around just to see the angry eyes of Kushina who looked like she wanted to murder someone and he wanted something to distract him from her ire. He was fortunate as he saw Hiruzen walk passed him and remembered something he wanted an answer to "Hiruzen wait up a second" see the old man turn around he waited until Hiruzen, Kushina and himself were the only ones left in the room before he continued "I wanted to ask if you have any insight on how I survived the Shiki Fūjin?"
Hiruzen began to think about what had happened during the sealing and only one thing came to mind "well when that bright light appeared around your son, the light itself seemed to disturb the shinigami itself and it loosened its grip on your soul. The light might have driven him away back to his realm and you were able to use the last of its time here to finish. You could call it a miracle that you finished sealing the last tail of the kyuubi back into kushina and that you are still alive after using it. Be happy Minato, you were willing to give your life for the village and have been allowed to keep it where normally you would have lost it"
Minato smiled at the old man and nodded his head as he knew what was said was true. He was given the chance to be with his family and he would make sure he spent as much time as he could with them when he had free time
Hiruzen patted Minato on the shoulder and smiled "well now, this meeting is over so you should go to where you should have been if this situation didn't happen"
Minato didn't hesitate and made his way out of the room with Kushina following behind
Hiruzen watched them leave as he also made his way out so he could summon Enma and get him to get into contact with both the toad summons and the slug summons. "I am so glad I didn't have to take back the mantle of hokage"
~back at the hospital~
Minato and Kushina had made it back into the hospital, heading back to the hospital room that they were both in. Minato could still feel the anger from his wife and it seemed that if she didn't find an outlet for it soon, he would suffer great pain later on. As the two made it to the door of the hospital room, they noticed that some of the anbu were not at their post outside of the room. Minato called out one of the anbu in the hallway. The anbu wore a boar mask and standard anbu uniform "Boar where are the guards that should be here outside the room?"
Boar turned his head to look at the door and he pointed at it as he tried to stifle a nervous chuckle.
Minato and Kushina looked at the man while raising an eyebrow and turned to the door and Kushina began to question "are you saying that the anbu are in the same room as my babies?"
Boar just nodded his head as he watched both the hokage and his wife go to the door.
Once Minato opened the door, he stopped all movement as he saw what was in front of him. Kushina walked around her statue of a husband and stopped as well as she saw what was going on in the room.
Neko was making quiet baby noises as she interacted with Kasumi, Inu was sitting in a chair in a corner holding Menma in his arms and a couple of other anbu were standing over Naruto, whispering something to each other but based on how energetic they were, it could only mean that what they were saying was positive
Minato and Kushina only had one thought go through their minds
'What the…..?'
Unknown to the people in the room, they were being watched from outside by Renamon as she kept her gaze on the ones around Naruto
~1 month later~
Minato and Kushina were back in their home with their three babies that were right now in the middle of their nap. Minato was right now laying on the couch as he looked to the ceiling, thinking about what had happened throughout the month. The day they returned to their home, Kushina placed the three into their crib, and immediately began to beat him within an inch of his life. Not only that but he has been sleeping on the couch and he hasn't even gotten much time to sleep as he had to respond to his children during the night as well as the usual late hours of being the Hokage getting through the overflowing income of paperwork. He also had to organize the active and any retired shinobi that were able to keep the security up since the team he sent out to track down the rogue shinobi with the sharingan found nothing. He could tell that Fugaku was furious with the whole situation and he had a feeling that he needed to consult with Hiruzen about what to do with the man
One good thing that came out of it was he was able to see the eyes of his children. Menma had blue eyes kinda like him but the eyes were brighter. Minato's eyes were a solid shade of blue while the eyes of Menma seemed to shine as if they were sapphires. Kasumi had eyes much like her mother, a blue-grey and seemed to be curious about everything around her. It was Naruto's eyes that brought up some concern, Naruto's eyes were as bright as Menma's but unlike his brother, Naruto had wisps of emerald green mixed in. With the symbol on his forehead and the mixture of the eyes, Minato thought that something might be wrong with him and even though he was a fuinjutsu master, he was still lacking a bit before he became a true master of it so he didn't want to do anything to the symbol until he was absolutely sure what it was
He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard a knock on the door. Getting up from the couch, he went to the door and opened it to find both Jiraiya the toad sage and Tsunade Senju the slug princess of Konoha and behind her was a sixteen year old Shizune holding a little piglet, who he knew Tsunade took on as an apprentice.
Jiraiya had a big smile on his face as he made to hug Minato but he was launched out of the way as Tsunade walked up to him and got in his face "mind telling me why you called me back to this cursed village?! And why I shouldn't send you flying to Iwa right now?!"
Minato felt panic…..but not from Tsunade. He was worried about how Tsunade's yelling could wake up his kids and that would bring upon the wrath of his wife "shhhh please keep it down….you don't want to wake them up"
Jiraiya popped up out of nowhere and had a small perverted grin on his face "oh? Did the yondaime finally bring in some more woman in his life?" he said as he giggled perversely, only to be launched again by Tsunade, as Shizune sweatdropped at her masters actions.
Minato was going to to try and get them to calm down but he heard what he knew would be his funeral bell…..a baby cry. He could tell that it was Menma and his crying caused the other two to start crying as well. He felt his life expectancy shrinking with every cry he heard but soon he heard the reaper call him
"Minato!"
" I would like to appoint Hiruzen as my successor after my passing and for all my possessions to go to my children" Minato spoke as all color left his body
Tsunade gave him a confused look until she saw Kushina come out from where she heard the crying come from "Kushina?!" Tsunade asked in shock as she had heard that the kyuubi had been released from the seal and knew what happens to jinchuriki when their bijuu is released. Shizune just smiled seeing the woman
Jiraiya came limping back, holding on to his face as he felt blood come from his nose and not in a good way. Once he made it to the door he also saw Kushina and had the same reaction since he also heard about what happened in the village
Kushina ignored the others and went to Minato. Once in front of him she began to yell at him "because of all the noise you were making you woke Menma up from his nap and now because of it they are all crying from it! You know that it's their naptime and you are out here making a racket!"
After a few more minutes of yelling she realised that the crying had stopped and she bolted back to the baby room to check on them
Tsunade and Jiraiya both looked at Minato with a questioning gaze as he turned to them "there is a lot to explain" he said as he rubbed the back of his head
The group of four made it to the dinner table and Minato explained everything to the two Sanin and girl. He explained his reason for calling them; Jiraiya because he needed him to check over his son and see what the symbol was and Tsunade to give him an examination and to help out at the hospital
Jiraiya was shocked at hearing that Minato used the Shiki Fujin and he lived which gave him a sense of relief, he then gave a confused look because he knew how good at sealing Minato was and if he didn't know what it was than it must be something interesting. He also filed away the rogue ninja info for later. "I'm going to check on the other two's seals as well, just to make sure nothing went wrong with it, since…...all that happened"
Tsunade didn't want to stay in the village at all but she figured that the request to examine the baby was ok to do. She would examine Naruto and then leave, that was it. "I will also check on Kushina to see if she is really ok from having it removed from her"
Minato nodded his head and as he was going to get up to head to the baby room, Kushina walked in with a smile on her face. She looked a bit shocked at seeing both Jiraiya and Tsunade in her home "oh Ero-Sennin, Tsunade! What are you two doing here?"
Jiraiya facefaulted at being called Ero-sennin while everyone sweatdropped at the fact that she didn't even realise they were there
~45 minutes later~
Jiraiya was staring at the symbol on Naruto's forehead, with his hand on his chin, trying to ignore the slaps that Naruto was giving him, since he was face to face to the baby
Naruto was finding it fun to slap the funny looking man, he even pulled on his white hair since it made the man give a funny face
Tsunade was examining Kasumi to make sure nothing was wrong with the infants. She didn't fully trust the medical staff to be accurate at all so she wanted to give her own analysis to them
Once Jiraiya had gotten his hair out of the grasp of the little brat, he turned to Minato, who stood behind him "quite frankly I have no clue on what that is". Minato gave him a worried look before he continued "from what I can tell it's not really doing anything to him. In fact there is no chakra going through the seal at all. Heck I don't even think it is a seal, if I didn't know any better I would just assume it was some sort of tattoo you put on him, but from what you told me, it appeared after that light show. I'm not going to say that it means nothing but it's not doing anything right now"
Tsunade came up beside him "and I have checked him for any abnormalities, even checking to see if he has another chakra network in him…..but nothing. He has a very high amount of chakra in him though, even for an Uzumaki but apart from that, it's just a single chakra network. No Bijuu chakra or anything. He is by all accounts a normal healthy boy"
Kushina felt a massive weight lifted off her as she feared what it might have been but Minato still had a look of thought "Jiraiya. May I speak with you alone?"
Jiraiya could see the seriousness on Minato's face and nodded his head
Walking outside of the house Minato started "Jiraiya, I would like you to stay in the village for the time being"
Jiraiya wasn't expecting this from his student so giving Minato a gesture to continue he listened to his reason for the request
Minato turned to look at the Hokage monument and spoke in a low voice so only Jiraiya could hear "when the whole event was finished and I was close to losing consciousness, I noticed that someone was watching the whole thing from the tree lines. I couldn't see who it was but I was sure someone was watching. Not only that but throughout the month, I have had a feeling that someone was watching us"
Jiraiya was now on alert and spreading his senses to see if he could catch anyone that could be hidden but didn't sense anything "are you sure?"
Minato nodded "yeah, I had some of our best sensors meet up with me with secret orders to see if they could catch the person but even they couldn't sense anything"
"Could it be the one you fought?"
"No even when he suppressed his chakra, I could still detect where he was but this one is like a ghost. I don't know what this person is after but I don't want to take chances here"
As they finished there talks Tsunade walked out of the house and began to walk passed them "If you need me, I'll be fixing the damn staff at the hospital"
Minato was taken aback by this sudden action "uh…..why are you …?"
Tsunade turned to face the hokage "Kushina had told me how many medical shinobi are working at the hospital and some of the practices they are doing and I can't believe how outdated it is! What the hell is wrong with you Minato?!"
Minato rubbed the back of his head and gave a nervous chuckle "I'm not a medical shinobi so I thought that the practices they were doing were what was needed"
Tsunade huffed and began to walk again but was stopped by Shizune who ran out of the house to catch up "but Lady Tsunade! What about your…." she didn't finish as Tsunade interrupted her
"I'll handle the healing of the wounds while the rest can handle sealing the wounds up and I'll avoid any of the major ones for now but my pride as a medical shinobi will not allow this farce to go on. Besides this will be good training for you. Afterwards I'm going to get my sake and put it all on the hokage's tab!"
Shizune stopped, turned to the hokage and bowed before she ran after Tsunade
Minato felt that his wallet was going to be taking heavy hits from not only Tsunade but his wife as well, because it's going to take a lot of Ramen to get forgiveness from Kushina " *sigh* I wonder if I could give myself a raise?" he said as Jiraiya gave him a pat on his shoulders
A little bit behind them at one of the trees in their front yard, a pair of ice blue eyes looked at the two men that were talking quietly but thanks to her heightened senses, she could hear everything that was said. "I should be wary about them since they know about me watching but I should be thankful that they are not able to sense my location. Not that, that would stop me from protecting my prince from harm" Renamon said before she faded more into the shadow of the tree
End Prologue part 2
Well that's the end of the prologue
Now to bring up some things I feel might be questioned
My issue with this chapter was the ages of Kakashi and yugao, I kept writing them as they were their adult selves but at this time they are only like 14 and 16 and I couldn't find how old they were when they became anbu so I just made it so they both were
Tsunade's return to the leaf was another issue, I couldn't think of a legit reason for her to stay in the leaf so I went with her pride in her field
The fact that the sensor shinobi can't detect Renamon is because the sensors detect chakra and Renamon doesn't have any. If this explanation doesn't work for you, you could also say that after staying hidden for so long (thousands of years) she learned how to hide from shinobi
Also something I didn't bring up in the last chapter. I will be adding elements from multiple seasons and some games but please don't be mad if I don't add characters you were expecting because as of right now I only have a set number of them planned. Although you might have figured out who from the last chapter. I might add some other of them later but I don't know
Now this is also part of the last bit that I said. I am adding Digimon randomly, I chose to add Renamon because I like the digimon and she is the only FOX digimon I know of, Ranamon was on a whim, Lunamon was because I use him in Cybersleuth and the rest were because of their ties to the digital world first season
Again this is a mash up of elements from multiple seasons and I hope I can do it right
I will explain the prince aspect in the next chapter….maybe
Please read and review
