"Is everything ready for that pathetic excuse for a Hokage?"
"Yes Lord Danzō. Everything is set."
"Good. Now we-" Suddenly there was a yellow flash and Danzō had a kunai held at his throat.
"You have five seconds to give me back my son before I kill you." Minato whispered into Danzō's ear so that the only one who could hear him was Danzō.
"You should pay more attention to your surroundings. I'm taking your son to the Akatsuki as payment for me to be accepted into their organization. And I am only a clone. Good luck tracking me."
"I hoped wouldn't have to use this." Minato suddenly went through over thirty hand signs and vanished to reappear next to the real Danzō and someone in a mask.
"Give me my son Danzō!" Minato forcefully ordered
"Actually your son now belongs to me." The man with the mask said.
"You must be the man pulling the puppet strings of the Akatsuki then. Well I regret to inform you that you will not be lying a finger on my son." Minato disappeared and reappeared next to Danzō and took his son and used a seal to transport him to his bed.
"Good luck getting him now. I have every clan head in the village guarding my house."
"You will pay for taking away my Jinchuriki. I needed him for my plans."
"And what plans are those?"
"None of your concern. Not that it would matter anyway because now you are going to die."
"You tried this back when you unleashed the nine tails on my village and it failed. You know you cannot beat me. So are you still willing to try?"
"You may have won this battle, but you won't win this war. I'll be back. And when I do no amount of skill or power can save you."
"Take your threat and shove it up your ass. You come near my son again and I will not hesitate to end you. And Danzō, I know you killed 5 Uchiha and took their sharingan. You really think that you could have pulled one over on me? And by the way, that eye you have is not Shisui's. That is the eye of one of your dead Root ANBU. You were put under a Genjutsu when you attacked Shisui and you attacked one of your subordinates and took his eye. Shisui will do our village well unlike you. Now get the hell out of here before I change my mind on killing you. Right now I don't feel like killing you 11 times." With that the two Akatsuki members vanished and Minato Teleported back to his house.
Minato's House…
Everyone was talking to Kushina and Hinata was checking up on Naruto when Minato flashed into the living room.
"Minato. Who was it?"
"Danzō. And he joined the Akatsuki. I only let him escape because I didn't feel like facing him 11 times."
"At least you saved Naruto."
"They said they will be back. Danzō was with the same person that attacked you and unsealed the nine tails back when you gave birth to Naruto. He said that when he comes back there will be nothing we can do to stop him."
"Minato, I know you. You won't let anyone hurt the village and especially Naruto."
"I hope so. I would never forgive myself if I filed my two sole sworn duties."
"Dad?"
"I see your finally awake Naruto."
"W-why are these people here? Are they here to hurt me too? I won't let them!" Naruto ran towards his room and slammed the door while locking it.
"Can I go check on him, Lady Kushina?"
"Yes Hinata. You are the only he will listen to. We know only you can find out what is wrong. And I also think that he likes you." Hinata suddenly erupted in a bright red blush.
"Thank you L-lady Kushina."
"It isn't a problem Hinata. And don't call me Lady Kushina. I'm friends with your mother. Just call me Aunty Kushina."
"Yes La-Aunty Kushina." Hinata ran down the hall to check on Naruto."
"I swear, if those two aren't together by the time they graduate the academy, I'm going to get involved."
"Let us hope that they get together before the deadline then."
"What did you say, Minato!"
"Nothing dear. Why don't we talk about what we are going to do about this new threat to Naruto's safety?"
"Good idea. Let's go talk in the kitchen."
"Alright." The two walked into the kitchen.
Naruto's Room…
"Go away." Naruto said.
"N-Naruto…Are you ok?" Hinata asked.
"Everyone is suffering because of me. The villagers ae right, I shouldn't be allowed to live."
"What makes you think that?"
"Danzō told me everything."
"And you are going to believe the person who just kidnapped you over me, your best friend?"
"What reason don't I have to believe him? The evidence is within the village. My dad has to even take time to watch over me so nothing happens, the third died for me to live, my mom almost died when I was born, the village was almost destroyed for the same reason. You going to tell me these aren't true?"
"Those events may have happened but how is it your fault?"
"Because my mom went into labor over me, the seal was weakened allowing the man in the mask to take her and extract the nine tails and caused all of these events."
"Naruto…We don't think it was your fault. Give me like two minutes."
The Kitchen…
"So you think this will work Minato?" Kushina asked
"Well with Naruto going to have a brother soon, we have to believe it will. If we don't, then that man will cause a repeat of seven years ago." Minato replied.
"Uhm Excuse me. Aunty Kushina, Uncle Minato. I-I found the problem."
"What is wrong, Hinata?" Kushina asked.
"A-apparently D-Danzō told N-Naruto that e-everything that happened because of the nine tails attack is his fault and Naruto won't believe me when I tell him it isn't his fault."
"Minato, we need to go talk to Naruto."
"Agreed." The three walked towards the blonde boy's room.
Naruto's Room…
"Naruto! Open this door! Now!"
"Go away. No one should be around me. I'm a monster."
"I'm going to kill Danzō…" Kushina muttered. She took her fist and slammed the door open. She walked over and sat on Naruto's bed and hugged him tightly.
"Why would you think that sweetie?" she said in a soothing voice.
"When I was with Danzō, he told me how everything that happened on the day I was born was because of me being born. And I have no reason to doubt it."
"That isn't true. Although the events were made possible because of your birth, they weren't your fault. The blame is all to be placed on the man in the mask."
"Y-You don't think I'm a monster?"
"Of course not. I, dad, and Hinata will always be here for you." Minato and Hinata both got in the hug to hug Naruto."
"Thank you guys."
"No problem sweetie. Now go to bed. Hinata is staying in the guest room. Her mother asked us to watch Hinata because she and Hiashi left tonight for a diplomatic mission and they won't be back for a week. I love you. Good night." She kissed him on the forehead.
"Night mom. Night Dad. Night Hinata."
"Night son" Minato said.
"Night Naruto." Hinata said. The other three left the room and Naruto dozed off…
