Disclaimer: Do I look like I own Naruto? xD

3 months before Naruto's birth

"It's okay, the child made it." was the first sentence Mikoto heard as she bolted up in her hospital bed, fear stricken. She had remembered the last nights events as soon as she woke and she had gotten an odd feeling of deja vu. As soon as she heard those words, though, her body relaxed and she looked up to see her husband staring down upon her.

Tears of joy sprang up in her onyx eyes as she smiled happily. "Would you like me to get the nurse to bring him in?" Fugaku asked. "Of course." Mikoto replied. "Wait, did you just say it was a baby boy?" Mikoto shot at her husband.

Fugaku grinned. "Yes. It is a stunning baby boy. He will grow up to be a fine child one day." Mikoto smiled even more proudly, glad that she had given birth to a boy that could carry on the Uchiha name. Fugaku nodded his head and briefly left the room. When he came back, the nurse was carrying a baby, one that had a full head of hair already. (And of course the hair was a dark raven color, as was custom for many Uchihas)

"Oh.. he's so.. he's beautiful!" Mikoto exclaimed. She smiled down to her baby boy and began weeping tears of joy. "So what is his name?" Fugaku finally asked his wife. "I will name him... Sasuke. Sasuke Uchiha. That has a wonderful ring to it." Mikoto replied, all the while looking lovingly at her child.

Fugaku smiled gently at her, the weight of his heart seeming to lighten a huge deal. His instincts told him that the child would be great, even if it was in a completely different sense than he would ever imagine.

"Kushina, I know what you want, but that can't happen. This child needs a mother, so swallow your dang pride, and join my family. You know what will happen if you don't!" Minato was explaining to his wife, which no one knew about I should add. "I just... I don't know if I can deal with the fact of people treating me like a saint because of what family I am from." Kushina replied, her voice downcast.

Minato slightly shook his head and heaved in a breath. "Kushina, what about Naruto. What is to become of him? If you can't do it for me, do it for the child." Minato said, pleading with the woman he loved. He wanted her to become a part of his family. His son needed it. It was hard to wonder what his life was going to be life if she didn't join them... and he wasn't sure he could handle that if it did happen.

"Fine." Kushina said after the moments of silence. "I'll join your clan, but rest assured, I am NOT going to stand for anyone, and I mean anyone, treating me like a saint because of it." Minato exhaled sharply and gave her one of his genuine smiles, which he had rarely given away in the past few weeks. "You won't regret this, I promise. And you of all people know my nindo, Kushina." Minato exclaimed, happier than he possibly could ever be.

After the day renewed itself, Kushina walked out of the Konoha hospital with her yellow-haired baby in her arms. Minato stood by her side, smiling down at the precious infant he knew as his son. The baby was just waking from it's slumber and it looked up at each parent with bright blue eyes, taking in every color, every scene it saw. When they passed by the ramen stand, the child closed its eyes, inhaling the scent. It gave a coo of joy and began smiling happily at everything.

"Seems like we know what he is going to like when he gets older." Kushina murmered. The baby giggled giddily and Minato grinned at the child. Everywhere he turned, though, he saw the stares of his people. They all regarded the group with respect, but both older ninja new what they were wondering. The Yondaime Hokage had a child...?He kept his face hidden away from the probing eyes of the civilians, but deep inside, he felt nothing but happiness towards the whole situation.

First, he now had a child, and a lively one at that. The infant was so amazingly energetic for a newborn. It would stay awake giggling for hours on end. Another thing was the fact that the love of his life was finally joining his clan. He couldn't count how many times he had begged and pleaded with her to do this. She was very stubborn, and refused to acknowledge the fact that he was trying so hard for it.

Suddenly, a brave citizen made his way over to the Hokage. "Lord Hokage, may I ask you a question?" he inquired. "Of course you may, but I'm not positive that I can answer it." Minato replied, knowing fully well what the question was already. "Well, sir. I was wondering if you would be kind enough to tell me if that young newborn is your child." the man stated. Minato realized it wasn't an exact question, but he knew that something along the lines of that was coming.

"Sir, I can only tell you this much... Wait until the meeting later on. Spread word of a city meeting that will be held at noon. Make sure that everyone hears word of this, and I will answer almost any questions you have then." Minato replied kindly. He nodded a curt good-bye and swiftly made off with his wife, who was surprised at her husband's reaction to the question.
