Chapter 2

Hiruzen Sarutobi the Third Hokage or the Sandaime Hokage; meaning Third Fire Shadow of Konohagakure. A disciple of the village's previous two Hokage's Hashirama and Tobirama Senju, Hiruzen a powerful ninja, hailed as a God of Shinobi. Though he was only ever to direct the teacher of the three legendary Sannin, generations of Konoha ninja benefited from his wisdom during his time as Hokage.

Now he was listening to a very unsettled Minato in his office as he explained what had happened last night between him and a kunoichi from the Hidden Mist Village, especially the part where he was intoxicated a bit and how they slept together while under the influence. The blonde haired-man left out the part about having sex with Mei in the shower.

He stroked his goatee while smoking his pipe, after Minato finished his awkward position, "Hmm…well Minato it appears that you in quite a predicament."

"I know!" He said throwing his hands up in frustration, "I don't know who else to turn for help, I know if I turn to Jiraiya Sensei he'll probably use my dilemma as reference for one of his stupid books!"

Somewhere else

Jiraiya is a tall man with waist-length, spiky white hair with a tied back pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face with red lines that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector with the kanji for 'Oil '油. He also has a noticeable wart on the left side of his nose.

Jiraiya wears a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wears mesh armor that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. His outfit is completed with hand guards, a simple black belt, traditional Japanese geta (wooden sandals), a red haori with two simple yellow circles on each side, and a scroll on his back.

He sneezed as he says, "Achoo…Hmmm…a very unfortunate event has occurred or a very sexy woman is talking about me."

He had a toothy grin as he imagined the last part of the sentence. He rubbed his hands together as he thought about this mysterious woman who was thinking about while having a nose bleed in the process.

Back at Hokage tower

"I understand your concern Minato, it is very unfortunate that you would be caught in this predicament, but the rules still apply that you are responsible for your own actions." Minato frowned as his shoulder slumped forward, "The only advice I can give is to tell Kushina the truth, the whole truth."

"I cannot do it." Minato whined, "I don't even have the heart to tell her that I cheated on her with another woman, especially one from a different village."

"It would be better if she found out the truth from you about your unfaithfulness rather than somebody else." He said, taking the pipe blowing a smoke into the air, "I would not begin to imagine what she would do to you if word got out that 'The yellow flash' of the hidden leaf village was with another woman. She would literally tear your family jewels off preventing you from children again, remember what happen the last time."

Both men shuddered at the thought as they covered both their family jewels, Kushina wasn't known as the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero for nothing her temper was legendary. One time before Minato and Kushina become husband and wife a man on a bet called her a tomato, let's just say he had to end his ninja career with no possibility of ever having children.

Minato groaned, "This is a complete disaster."

"Be a man and take it like a man Minato." The Third pointed out, "Remember what we keep telling the students at the academy 'your actions will lead to consequences in the future whether they are good or bad.'"

"I know."

"Well, seeing that you're not satisfied with that answer, you have to come up with the solution yourself I offered my piece of advice now it's time for you to make a decision. Are you going to tell Kushina the truth or are you going to keep seeing this kunoichi until word gets out?"

"I don't what I'm going to do Hokage-sama. I just wish I could keep them both." He sighed

"That's being selfish, as a shinobi you have to start making the tough choices and swallow your pride sometimes." He got up from his desk, walked towards the window viewing the village "Why do you think that being a Kage is one of the hardest positions to have Minato?"

He was silent

"You have to make the hard decisions whether you like them or not. Someway, somehow, every decision that a Kage makes will affect the people."

"I understand Hokage-sama." He replied

"Good, because what I'm going to tell you will determine the fate of Konoha."

Outside of Hokage Tower

Minato after his talk with the Third Hokage, was baffled to no end at what he said to him. The elder man had told him that he had chosen him, the Yellow Flash of the Hidden Leaf Village to become the next Hokage after himself.

Lost in his own thoughts, he wasn't aware that standing in front of the gates of Hokage Tower was a very nervous looking Mei.

She was not sure how to take this awkward relationship with The Yellow Flash, after all she wasn't sure he was single. Her memory was fogging, then again she thought he had heard him say something that he was married to another woman either way she needed to know where they stood in this unlikely situation.

She walked up to him, placing a hand on his back startling him.

"Mei." He said as he spun to face his assailant, "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to find you."

'I know where this is going. This is going to be a private conversation, I just hope I can tell her how I truly feel before things turn for the worst.' Taking a breath, he picked up Mei bridal style, before she could protest they were gone in a flash.

Of course a few spectators were watching this little scenario.

"Damn that Yellow Flash." One civilian stated, "Trying to get a mistress behind the wife's back eh? Lucky son of gun."

"Oh mommy, wait until the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero hears about this, she is not going to be happy."

Other civilians agreed with this statement, one thing that you never do is make an Uzumaki angry especially Hot-Blooded Habanero. Others shuddered at the thought of what the red-haired kunoichi was going to the yellow flash.

At the Namikaze Compound

Mei sat on the sofa in the living room with her legs crossed, she had to admit she was quite envious of Minato he had a lot fine luxury fit for the Hokage himself. That being said he checked the whole house making sure that Kushina was not home, the Hidden Mist Ninja waited patiently as he came back sighing in relief.

"Look Mei about what happened last night…" He started to say

"Yes, I've been meaning to talk to you about that it…"

"It was a mistake." He stated abruptly, "It should have never of happened."

"Well, it did and you know what else?" He looked at her blankly, "It was unprotected sex, so there is a possibility I might end up…"

"Don't finish that sentence!" He said, pointing his finger at Mei, "I don't want to imagine that you could end up like that!"

"Well, it's quite simple Flashy." She made an 'O' shape with her left hand while using her right pointer to finger the 'O' shaped hand, "When a man and woman have sex, the male pe-"

"Enough." He said annoyed, grabbing her hands, he split her hands apart, "It was just meaningless drunken sex."

"Oh really? So are you going to pretend you didn't enjoy what happened last night? You were grabbing my breasts so hard I was afraid you were going to leave bruises. You were thrusting into me like a wild beast."

He let her go turning away from the woman he had not meant to give love to yet still did. He balled his hands in a fist it shook in fury as he recalled some of what he'd done, Minato was furious with himself and with her.

"This is all your fault you know!"

"My fault!" Mei shouted in fury while pointing a finger at herself, "I wasn't the one trying to hit on a young woman on site first of all and second you were the one to seduce me!"

Minato faced her in anger, "If I recall correctly, you were the one who kissed me in the first place!"

"Well whose fault was that? You were the one to fall for this…body…"

Looking back it was easy to see that he was the one to deflower her, and that the alcohol had dulled his senses.

But the fact remained that he had given into temptation on his own free will. She might have kissed him, but it didn't change the fact that he had wanted her badly out of lust.

Her body had been amazing and last night he had stopped caring about anything else and just given into his own desires.

"You are impossible Mei Terumī!"

"I can say the same to you!" She spat back

"If you never came to Konoha none of this wouldn't be happening right now!" He yelled

"Well, if you would have stopped to think about the consequences then this would not be happening to you!"

Despite their heated argument the two of them did not notice that they were getting closer to each other step by step. It didn't take for them to be locked into a heated, passionate kiss with each other as their hands roamed freely around each other bodies.

"You are a terrible husband…" She gasped

"Yeah, well you're such a beautiful woman."

Again, they locked lips and before they knew it, clothes started to fly around the floor of the mansion.

Uchiha Compound the main house

Kushina was visiting her long time best friend Mikoto Uchiha. She decided to visit since Minato went to the Hokage Tower for some words of advice on certain topics on how to become to an effective leader as she was told.

During the time she was having tea, she had a strange sudden of heaviness, she couldn't quite place it but something in her heart was quite unsettling.

"Kushina are you okay you seem very deep in thought."

"Huh…" The red head soon realized that she zoned out, "Sorry about that Miko I've got that sudden urge that something bad happened ya know?"

Mikoto nodded in understanding, "I get that familiar sense too, I'm sure it is nothing."

Kushina surely hoped that it was nothing, she couldn't let go, a sense of dread that she had and a small woman's intuition told her that it had something to do with her husband.

Three months later

To say that the three months that had passed was happy and go getting was an understatement, Kushina had heard rumors that was going throughout the village that The Yellow Flash of the Village was seeing another woman.

Minato and Mei did continued to see each other behind her, back which didn't help the blonde case. They started to know each other bit better than before as well they started to grow really close to each other much to his dismay.

Every time his wife asked or talked about the subject, he usually blows her off, telling her that he had a 'mission', or he had to see the Hokage or Jiji as Kushina like to call him, which was true since the Sandaime had announced at the end of the third month that he will be retiring his position as Hokage therefore he has chosen Minato Namikaze to be his successor within two weeks.

Upon hearing the news Kushina, Mei with the rest of the Leaf Village were glad to hear that their hero/husband/lover who led them through the Third Shinobi war will be appointed the new Yondaime Hokage soon a massive celebration occurred throughout the village.

Two weeks later

Early in the morning Mei in her hotel room was not feeling very as she thought she would have, for the past two weeks she had a feeling of nuisances coming over her. One day room service came to her room.

Mei sitting on the couch with her knees to chest, her stomach was killing her.

"I knew eating so much ramen with Minato was a bad idea."

There was a knock at her door, she groaned, she really did not want to get up, groggily walking to the door revealing, one of the maids of the hotel with a tray of food in her hand.

"I've brought you your breakfast meal Ms. Terumī." She said politely, the dish consisted of steamed rice, miso soup, and various side dishes. Common side dishes are broiled/grilled fish, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet), tsukemono pickles, nori (dried seaweed), and natto.

"Thank you, but I'm not in the mood for eating anything right now, my stomach has been killing me…"

When she caught the whiff of the smell of the food in front of her immediately her face turned green and she placed a hand over her mouth and raced to the bathroom leaving the maid puzzled.

"Is something wrong with the breakfast?" She looked at it making sure that there nothing wrong with it, "Hmph, what a strange woman."

In the bathroom, Mei couldn't count the many times that she vomited the only thing that was on her mind was that she needed a doctor as soon as possible. Five minutes went by and Mei finally emerged from the bathroom with a pale face, the maid looked at her worriedly.

"Are you alright Ms. Terumī?" She went to help her sit down on a chair, her knees almost buckled almost causing her to collapse.

"I'm not even sure…" Came the weak reply

"Would you like for me to do anything for you?"

"Get me a doctor…" With that she passed out on the chair

Quickly the maid left the food on the counter, race to tell the manager and then she raced to Konoha hospital to find the doctor.

That afternoon

"I'M WHAT?!"

"You're pregnant Ms. Terumī." Replied the doctor calmly, "The test came in after three hours and your pregnant, therefore congratulations are in order."

Mei had very mixed emotions, first she was happy that she was carrying a child in her womb which could only mean that the child she was having was none other than Minato's, second she sacred for a possible rejection from the child's father, and lastly nervous on how he will react to the news.

"Do you know who the father is?" The doctor asked

"I might have an idea, however, I won't mention any names."

Hokage tower

Minato Namikaze now the new Yondaime Hokage of Konoha was sweating bullets from his brow. He was fighting the worst thing known to all Kages: Paperwork.

Suddenly an idea came to his mind. He smiled, then chuckled quietly, then went into a full blown laugh, turning quite evil at the end. He jumped up from his seat and pointed at the massive pile of paperwork before shouting "I'VE GOT YOU NOW YOU PILE OF DISGRACE!"

He put his hand in a T shape before saying Kage Bushin no a puff of smoke there stood two other Minato Namikaze, Minato nodded to his fellow clones that nodded back and started to work.

"I can't believe that the Sandaime did not think of this before." He said as he sat down to finish up the current paperwork he was doing.

The door to the office burst open and there stood Mei panting a bit slightly tired from all the running she did, Minato raised an eyebrow at her as she entered gasping for air. Her mind was racing a mile a second, she couldn't believe that she was three months pregnant and not to mention she had to keep this a secret from Kushina as well. Her biggest concern was how he will react to this.

"Mei…"

"Minato…"

The look on her face had him worried, quickly getting up from his seat he closed the door making sure he looked both ways a certain red head wasn't nearby.

Embracing her Mei returned the affection, she looked up at him with tears streaming down her face.

"Mei what's wrong?"

She took a deep breath, "Minato…"

"Yes?"

"I'm…pregnant…"
