Chapter 3. The cat and the fox.
I paused for a second after hearing Mikoto's reply before I snapped into it.
"Oh well okay then, i'm guessing this is your mother than it's a pleasure to meet you please come in."
The Anbu mother and Mikoto both folowed me into the house where I led them to their rooms. "Mikoto you'll be taking the room on the left next to Kushina's while your mother can take the room to the right. My room is down the hall across from the restroom. Any questions?" Mikoto raised her hand up and I nodded at her. "Where is Kushina presently at the moment?" I responded to her giving her a curious look. "I don't know, probably still asleep, she doesn't seem to be the type of person to wake up early in the morning why?" She gave me a happy death smile and I felt my soul shiver a bit when she replied. "Oh no reason. I just wanted to know where I could find my bestie." She walked over to Kushina's room and slammed the door shut, soon screams could later be heard coming through the door.
I chose to ignore the screams for help as I hurried off to start training.
'Hey Kit why didn't you go and help the red kit?' 'Kurama are you crazy! They would have just teamed up on me if I did that, the way I see it girls can be scarier than any weapon or fight.'
'Pff whatever your just being a pussy.'I got a bit irrated at that comment.
'Oh really so you're telling me you can stand up to Kitsune neesan if I tell her that you called her old?' An evil smile was painted on my face as I felt Kurama shiver at the thought.
'Fine kit I see your point, please din't do that I don't feel like getting neutered.'So we agreed never to talk about it again.
Later at night when I got home from training all day I was welcomed home by both a smiling Kushina and Mikoto.
I felt a drop of sweat go down the back of my neck as fear started to kick in.
"He-hello, I really want to act ignorant over the fact that you two are angry so can you please atleast make it quick."
Their smiles grew wider as they both grabbed out rope from behind their backs and said "Sure!" in a cheery way.
The next thing I knew I was tied to a chair in a completely dark room with a lamp shining on my face. Mikoto started their little investigation.
"So Minato how does it feel to have two cute girls from your class live with you?" "Wow narcasstic much." I froze as I felt a kunai fly through my hair and heard it puncture the wall behind me.
"I'm sorry your both beautifull, and to answer your question nice maybe, I wouldn't know as i've lived by myself my entire life." Both of their faces turned sad for a bit befire Kushina kicked the table infront of me over while holding the lamp closer to my face.
"You're going to make pizza every week for us you know! Don't peek on us or yoir dead." For the next half an hoir they continued making demands from me until they felt satisfied and left the room.
'Holy shit Kit you're going to have it tough for awhile.' I just gave him a sad smile as I tried to get out of the chair they tied me to. Once I got out I left the room only to end up getting grabbed by Mikoto's mom and dragged right back in.
"Hello Minato thank you for taking care of my daughter at the academy my name is Akira Uchiha but you can just call me mom." Her introduction seemed nice.
"Hello and no problem Mikoto is a really nice person but I don't think I should call you mom Akira san." Suddenly her smile was gone and her face grew vold as a death grip was placed on the top of my head. "Now now Minato you'll be calling me mom whether you like it or not understand?" "Y-yes." She dropped me back onto the ground before nodding her head and leaving. "Good!" She shut the door and left the room leaving me behind to break down. 'What the hell is wrong with these woman.'
Time proceeded forwards and a year passed along making us 6 years old. I continued my training and have finally reached the point where I can move about in gravity six times stronger than earths, while Kushina and Mikoto have enjoyed torturing me with their demands.
Now i'm no beta male the only thing is they aren't betas either. Kushina can be cute sometimes but she is a headstrong and roudy person, while Mikoto is a very strict girl so she likes to order us around. I do enjoy our time together though as it really distracts me from becoming too antisocial.
Today was like any other day for me as I was training extremeley hard trying to improve my physical energy but I was interupted by Kushina running onto the training ground crying.
She ran up to me and leapt into my arms bringing her head into my chest.
"Kushina what's wrong why are yoi crying?" She sniffled a few times before regaining her voice. "It's aunt Tsunade she's leaving the village!" I hugged her tighter to me. "Do you want me to stop her?" She looked up at me tears in her eyes. "I don't know she's in a lot of pain, i'm just sad that she is leaving." I brought my finger up to her eye wiping the tears she had and the pecked her head with a kiss. "Alright then I guess i'll fix that, I can't have you feeling sad now can I."
I broke away from Kushina and rushed to the village gate, sneaking by undetexted I left the village and ran down the road.
It took me a good 5 hours before I finally caught up to a 22 year old Tsunade holding a small 4 year old girl that should be shizune. I bolted infront of Tsunade and threw a kunai infront if her feet to stop her from walking.
"Hey brat what do you think your doing?"
I looked at her and noticed the misery and guilt she had in her eyes. "I could say the same to you Tsunade what are you doing right now." She glared at me and went to push me out of the way. "Move it brat I don't have time for games." I avoided her arm and jumped backwards once again infront of her.
"Oh so what do you have time for? Tell me because I can see the pain in your eyes, it better not be suicide." She got pissed at me and threw a punch, I avoided it by jumping up and climbing up her arm before I launched myself off flipping in the air and landing on the ground. "Shut up! You know nothing! Leave me alone!" She continued to throw wild punches at me which I continued to dodge but she started to speed up her attacks.
As I dodged I decided to get her to spill her feelings. "So explain it to me then!"
She launched a strong round house kick which hit me in the gut sending me into a tree, I picked myself up and walked infront of her again. "Well i'm waiting?"
"Fine if you want to know so bad, they're dead both of them!" I looked at her calmly as I watched her eyes. "Who?"
She got irrated at me and started screaming. "My little brother and Dan! They died all because of a my curse and their dream!" I shook my head. "What's this curse you speak of?"
She was glaring at me before she took a deeo breath and exhaled. "Whatever it has nothing to do with you." She grew calmer and I just smirked a bit.
"Maybe it is or maybe it isn't but that diesn't matter to me, i'm going to get you to tell me one way or another."
Tsunade just looked down at me. "Oh you are are you? and how are you going to do that?" I let a huge grin spread across my face at that. "Simple we'll have a little bet if I can take your strongest punch then you'll tell me everything and listen to what I have to say, if I lose well you can ask or tell me to do anything I don't care."
Tsunade obviously not thinking straight rolled up her sleaves and gave me a smile. "Alright sounds like a plan Gaki just don't feel to bad when I make you swear to never become a ninja."
I smiled at her with a mix of gentleness as I took my defensive stance.
"Alright fair enough, now come!"
She vanished from her previous place and reappeared infront of me sending a fist into my ribs. I focused all of my chakra using Dragon scale on the small part of my chest where her fist hit me.
I dug my feet into the ground as I was sent sliding backwards around 20 yards. I was still standing there panting as it took everything I had to stay up right as I cougghed out some blood. 'Haha holy shit can she hit hard.' I looked up at her shocked face before I started walking towards her.
"Alright a deal is a deal I wagered my future, and now that I won i'm going to change yours. So listen tell me what this curse is, your problems now, and we'll go from there."
"Fine Gaki, the curse is that anyone who wears this necklace other than me will die soon after." She held up a necklace with a blue crystal attatched to it. "My problem is that both my broyher and my lover have died because of it and their dream to become Hokage." She was getting angry. "It was dumb, they wanted to be the Hokage but all that did was kill them, becoming Hokage is a fools dream!"
I flashed over to her hitting her on the head with a kick sending her to the ground. She looked up at me suprised but that didn't stop me from sceaming.
"Don't ever look down on their dreams! I don't care if your sad that they're dead but there is nothing worse you can do then belittling the their dreams. So what now, are you just going to run away looking for pity from the ones who still care about you!" She was crying a bit befire she quitley answered me.
"I-I dont want their pity, they should jus.."
I cut her off there. "Good because i'm not giving you any, so get off your ass and follow me I have something to show you."
I grabbed Shizune and started running to the village near us. Tsunade followed me ofcourse and she was dumbstrucked at where I led her. "Why did you bring me here Gaki!?" I ignored her as I oroceeded to the hospital bed infront of us, there laid a pregnant woman who was ready for her baby to be delivered. Now you might be thinking how I knew about this pregnant woman but it's simple my shadow clones found out before hand.
"Listen Tsunade I need your help delivering this baby." She urked away clearly feeling faint from seeing all of the blood. "I slapped her in the face and held it so that she was looking into my eyes.
"Tsunade focus, I need you to deliver this baby, don't focus on the blood keep your mind focused on a happy mother holding her baby!" She was mumbling some things I couldn't understand before she started to do her job. An hour passed and a small baby firl was wrapped up in her mothers arms, they were both asleep.
I looked over to Tsunade who was staring at the peacefull scene. "Do see now along with death there is life, the blood on your hands can range from someone dying to a child being born." Sje looked down at her hands which stopped shaking like before. "Remember the pain, but also remember the joys as you need to continue to pursue what it is you can do for the future."
"I am going to become Hokage one day and change the entire ninja world!"
She looked at me with shock as tears started to fill her eyes. "And I promise that I won't die before I achieve my dreams." I walked over to her taking her necklace and putting it around my neck.
"This will be proof of my promise."
She started to cry and then she grabbed me and held me tight. "Ple-please don't you'll die, the curse." I smiled at her pushing her away a bit. "Well if your so worried why don't you get stonger to protect me too?" She started crying harder after that and proceeded ti squeeze the life out of me.
We returned to the village later that night, reporting to the hokage. Sarutobi gave me a look before letting out a huge sigh.
"I don't know why or how you get yourself into these things Minato but you always suprise me." I chuckled a bit and Tsunade gave me a curious glance.
"That's right Gaki how did you know I was leaving today, I didn't tell the village."
It was my turn to sigh a bit and I looked at the two if them. "Honestly it's thanks to Kushina that my life is so chaotic."
Sarutobi started to laugh as Tsunade staeted to tease me. "Aww so Minato here is together with my goddaughter how cute, you better not betray her."
I gave a wry smile as Sarutobi started telling her about how I became a jinjuriki for Kushina, which earned me mad respect from Tsunade.
"Didn't know you were that devoted Minato, how are you holding up?"
I smiled at them and decided to tell them the truth. "Ahh i'm good I made friends with him and now we just talk every now and then." Sarutobi shot out of his chair screaming "What!!?" at the same time Tsunade did. "What do you mean your friends with the kyuubi!? Do you know how dangerous it is!?"
I looked over at Sarutobi clearly illustrating on my face that he looked retarded. "You realise that you're basically the pot calling the kettle black right? Also he has a name, which I can't tell you yet. Anyways the main point is that I got rid if his hatred and now we're friends."
Sarutobi opened his mouth looking for words to say to me before he quit and sat back down into his chair looking like he got ten years older. "So is Kushina friends with her half too?" I shook my head at them. "No I don't think so, I haven't tried helping her because this is something she has to do on her own." Sarutobi nodded and Tsunade just looked at me with even more curiousity.
"So where do you live Minato?" I just turned and looked at Tsunade confused at the question. Before I could answer Sarutobi took the honor to inform her about my house and my roomates.
She smirked at me and said "Interesting."
before she left the room.
After talking to Sarutobi for a little bit longer I went home to comfort Kushina.
"So did you do it?" I smiled at her and nodded my head. "Yeah Tsunade isn't leaving the village anymore." She smiled before she started bouncing around the floor. "Yeaaaaah!" I smiled at her as I went to the kitchen and started to cook tonights dinner.
In the middle of cooling I heard the doorbell ring following Kushina yelling "I'll get it. A few minutes later Tsunade and a small Shizune entered the room with Kushina trailing behind them.
"Hey Minato from today onwards i'm living here to watch over Kushina and Shizune got it?" I gawked at her but before I could deny her Kushina jumped in. "Yeah that's totally alright with us, right Mikoto?" Mikoto and her mother walked into the room and started to give me cold smiles. "Yes Kushina that sounds lovely, it's a pleasure to have you Senju hime."
Tsunade laughed. "Oh please call me Tsunade." They started chatting about the house and such. I decided to listen in a bit to what Kushina was saying.
"Yeah and you can make Minato do all of the cleaning and cooking, he makes all these great foods and stuff!"
"So he's basically your slave?"
Kushina gave a fox like smile to Tsunade.
"No no Tsunade, he's OUR slave!"
they all started to make evil laugjs back there as sweat dripped behind my neck.
'Fuck my life!!!!!!!!!!!!'
