' I never knew the Nine Tails could talk' Minato thought

"MINATO!" the beast yelled

Minato lands on the ground and in front of him is the Nine Tails a meters away. The Nine Tails angrily glared at him and he angrily glared it back. The beast then position itself and charges up a tailed beast bomb. Minato eyes widen to see the tailed beast bomb was performed.

'How come my Rasengan wasn't peformed while the tailed beast bomb was performed?' Minato thought

"Can you-" Minato was cut off by Kushina

"I can Minato... Come on" Kushina said and Minato nodded

Minato carried Naruto and they went off. They both jump from tree to tree away from the nine tailed beast. Just then, they heard a loud roar. They turn around to see the nine tails standing up and follows them. Kushina gasped

"The nine tails are following up" Kushina said

"I know... I'm going to teleport us somewhere same but I need to concentrate. We have to lose the Nine tails first" Minato said and Kushina nodded

Minato and Kushina pick up the pace in order to lose the nine tails. The nine tails then charges up a tailed beast bomb and aims it at Minato and Kushina. Minato turns his head around to see the tailed beast bomb ready to launch. Minato reach in the bag and grabs a special kuna and throws it. The nine tails then blast the tailed beast bomb and went straight to Minato and Kushina. Minato then grabs Kushina and they both disappeared before the tailed beast bomb exploded.

"MINATO!" the beast yelled

In an unknown location, Minato and Kushina along with the baby reappeared near a tree. Minato was panting and Kushina was getting more worried.

"You should rest Minato" Kushina said

"I'm fine. *pant* Now I just gonna concentrate so we can leave this place" Minato said

Then, Kushina's stomach growled. Minato hears this and chuckled

"Hungry?" Minato asked

Kushina nodded and Minato chuckled. Minato reach in the bag and grabs a sandwich. He gives the sandwich to Kushina and she accepts it. She opens the plastic and takes a bite and her eyes widen and she vomits the food.

"What's the matter?" Minato asked

"It taste like grass and hay" Kushina said

"Take it off and eat the bread instead" Minato said

Kushina then peeks what is in the sandwich. She saw daisies, hays, grass. Kushina takes the grass, the daisies, and the hay leaving the bread alone. Kushina then takes a bite and she was satisfied. Minato watch Kushina devour the bread in 10 seconds flat.

"That was good" Kushina said

"Why don't you hold Naruto for a moment?" Minato suggested

Kushina nodded and Minato handed the baby to Kushina which is happily accepted. Minato then starts to concentrate while Kushina cradle baby Naruto. Meanwhile with the nine tails, The nine taile beast was looks left and right but no sign of Minato or Kushina.

"Once I found you and Kushina... I will rip you to shreds!" the beast said

The nine tails then started walking around trying to find Minato and Kushina. The beast look left and right but no sign of Kushina and Minato anywhere just a bunch of trees. The tailed beast is starting to get more angrier. The tailed beast raor once more and this time, it was louder than the sonic rainboom. The roar made can be heard away from Ponyville.

"MINATO!" the tailed beast roar outloud

Meanwhile in Ponyville, all lights suddenly open. Each and everypony peeks at their own window to see who made the loud roar.

"Who made that noise?" one pony asked

"I don't know" the pony's neighbor said

Inside the Golden Oaks Library was a panicking lavender pony and a purple scaled dragon. They too were awaken by that loud roar.

"Oh where is Mehnato?" Twilight asked

"Should we call the others? After all, by the roar of a unknown creature, our friends are surely wide awake" Spike said

"Good idea Spike. Let's get a move on" Twilight said

"Right!" Spike said

With that, Twilight and Spike went outside the library to find their friends. Meanwhile with Minato and Kushina, Minato's eyes open as he hears the loud roar of the nine tails. Baby Naruto is starting to cry and Kushina started to cradle him.

'The nine tails is getting angry...' Minato thought

"There, there Naruto. Mommy is here" Kushina said

Minato smiles and starts to concentrate once more. Meanwhile with the nine tails, the beast is looking around finding Minato and Kushina. Smoke went out of the beast's nostrils and its eyes are getting bloodshot. The nine tailed beast started to roar. The roar is even louder.

"MINATO, ONCE I FOUND YOU. I WILL KILL YOU AND RIP YOU TO SHREDS WITH KUSHINA AND THAT BABY" the beast shouted

Meanwhile in Ponyville, many pony can see a red thing in the Everfree Forest. Most ponies were frightened and some are very curious. Outside the Golden Oaks Library are 6 ponies and a dragon. They were all curious and at the same time frightened.

"W-What in t-tarnation is that thing?" AppleJack asked

"It could be one of the creatures of the Everfree Forest" Pinkie said

"It can be but we have to problem that later. Right now, we have to find Mehnato. Who could be anywhere!" Twilight said

"Calm down Naruto... Please you don't have to cry. Mommy is here" Kushina said

"A little more time Kushina and we will be out of here for sure" Minato said

Meanwhile with the nine tails, it can hear a baby crying. The tailed beast smiles and follows the sound of the baby. The crying is getting louder and louder. the tailed beast's eyes widen as it saw Kushina and Minato with their baby.

"I finally FOUND YOU! MINATO!" the tailed beast nodded.

Minato's eyes open and sees the tailed beast in front of him and Kushina just a few kilometers away. The tailed beast angrily glared at the both of them before charging towards them. Minato quickly stands up and grabs Kushina and starts running away.

"Minato... What now?" Kushina asked panicking

"Don't worry, we just need to buy some time. I already finish the first part" Minato said

Minato gets Naruto from Kushina's arms before they jump from tree to tree to lose the nine tails but the beast is gaining up.

"You can't escape me! This time... I will blow you away!" the beast said

The beast then stops and charges a massive tailed beast bomb. Everything is now getting sucked in the tailed beast bomb. Minato and Kushina then pick up the pace so they can't be sucked in the bomb.

"Just a little more time" Minato said

The tailes beast bomb is now fully charged and ready to fire. The nine tails aims the bomb to Minato and Kushina and blast it. The bomb is going towards Minato and Kushina. Meanwhile in the Golden Oaks Library, the doorknob is starting to glow even brighter and it got everpony's attention.

"Why is that doorknob glowing?" one pony asked

"I don't know" one pony said

Meanwhile with the mane 6, they all arrived in their meeting place which is in front of the Carousel Boutique. They were all at the same time tired, out breath, panting, and the worst part sleepy.

"Did *pant* anypony *pant * saw Mehnato?" Twilight asked

They all shook their heads. Suddenly, a bright yellow glow appeared, They cover their eyes to shield it from the light.

"That glow... I think its coming in the library" Twilight said

"Then there is no time to lose. We have to get there fast" Rainbow said

And with that, they went to the bright yellow glow. As they got nearer and nearer, the glow gets brighter and brighter. Then they saw everypony in front of the library. They quicken the pace and dodge everypony. Once they dodge in front everypony, they are now in front of the door of the Golden Oaks Library. The bright yellow glow is comming from the doorknob. The yellow glow is now getting even brighter than ever.

"W-why is da door all glow'in Twilight?" AppleJack said

"I-I don't know..." Twilight said

The glow gets brighter than the sun's sunshine. Meanwhile with Minato and Kushina, they are still jumping from tree to tree trying to over speed the tailed beast bomb but it was no use, the bomb is just too fast for them. The bomb then starts getting closer and closer. They both turn around to see the bomb is in front of them meters away. Then, the bomb starts to expand and begins to glow. Minato and Kushina's eyes widen. Then the bomb explodes.

"Caught you little brat" the beast said

After the explosion, a gigantic crator appeared. The nine tails deviously smiles before going to the north to rest. The beast's bones were visible.

"Now that brat is gone forever... Time to destroy everything insight... As soon as I regain my full potential, I'll escape this damn forest" the beast said

Meanwhile in Ponyville, the glow starts to get even brighter. Suddenly, the bright glow disappeared. Everypony open their eyes and their eyes widen to see a creature with a blonde mane and another creature with a red mane and between them is a small baby crying.

"I-its the Yellow Flash" one pony said

"Quick! Somepony call the ambulance" one pony said

"Calm down everypony! Me and the rest of the Elements of Harmony will take care of this. Please go back to your respective homes and sleep" Twilight said

And with that, everypony nodded and went back to their homes and went to bed. Suddenly, the creature with a blonde mane started to twitch. He then opens his eyes to see a lavander, white, cyan, orange, yellow, and a pink pony and a baby dragon. The creature then sits up and scratches his head.

"W-where... Am I?" the creature said

"MEHNATOW!" the mane 6 said

"Twilight, AppleJack, Rarity... Am I back in Ponyville?" Minato asked

"Yes with um... those two" Twilight said

Minato looks left to see Kushina laying unconscious and Baby Naruto crying.

"Kushina! Naruto!" Minato said

He carried crying Naruto and starts to cradle him. The baby is starting to calm down. Minato sighed in relief to see baby Naruto is calm down and not crying anymore. Minato then turn his attention to Kushina who is twitching.

"Kushina!" Minato said

Minato crouches down while Kushina opens her eyes to see Minato and baby Naruto in his arms. Kushina smiles to see they are still alive and safe. Minato then helps Kushina get up.

"Good, you're ok" Minato said

"U-um... Minato? Who are this two?" a voice said. Minato and Kushina turn their attention to Spike

"Everpony, this is my wife Kushina and my son Naruto" Minato said

"Aww... Look at the little cutie. He is as cute as Spikey-Wikey" Rarity said

"T-Taling HORSES AND LIZARD!" Kushina shouted

"Kushina calm down. First of all, they are not horses they are ponies and second of all, that thing is not a lizard. It's a dragon" Minato said

"THAT'S EVEN WORSE!" Kushina said

"You seem stress out... Why don't you take a rest. It's been a long night" Minato said

"I-I guess you're right" Kushina said

"Say Twilight, Mind if we have 2 more visitors?" Minato asked

"Sure" Twilight said

And with that they all said their goodbyes and went back to their respective homes and get some rest. Minato and Kushina went inside the library along with the baby, Spike and Twilight. Twilight locks the door and they went to the bedroom.

"The bed doesn't have enough sufficient space, I'll just sleep on the floor" Minato said

"A-are you sure?" Kushina asked

"Definitely. I want you and Naruto to be comfortable" Minato said

And with that, Kushina and Minato approach the bed. Kushina lay down and Minato lay down Naruto gently beside Kushina. Minato then smiles and lays on the floor beside the bed. Twilight and Spike also went to their respective beds. They all yawn and went to sleep peacefully.
