THE PURPLE STORM
CHAPTER 1
Well, readers hope you will forgive me, for abandoning my previous account. Sorry for that. Now on to the story
IT WAS STATED IN AN VERY OLD PROPHECY THAT
WHEN THE TIME ARRIVES A PERPETUAL CONFLICT WILL CULMINATE UPON THE WORLD FORGED FROM AND CHAOS AND WAR,
AND THE WEAK WILL PERISH IN THE SHADOW OF RISING DARKNESS.
BUT A BEING WITH HIS HEART BURNING WITH FIRE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL RISE IN THE SEA OF DARKNESS ILLUMINATING THE WORLD WITH ITS BRIGHTNESS.
It was the morning of October 10 the sun was out the leaves shades of red and orange as they dance in the wind, Konohagakure was peaceful under the leadership of the Yondaime Hokage the hero of the Third Great Ninja War, The Yellow Flash of the leaf Minato Namikaze.
The citizens Konohagakure were enjoying their life in the peace brought by the sacrifice of many fine Shinobi in the Third Great Ninja War, though it is over, many people are still recovering from the losses they suffered and even though it is peaceful the wheel of fate still spins a new.
Konoha Cemetery
A boy about the age of 14 with silver hair and a black mask covering his face was walking down the row, passing the name of fallen Shinobi that died over the years. Stopping at one he kneels down and puts flowers on the grave.
"Hi Rin it's been a while," he told her in a sombrely tone "Today's the day my mission guarding Kushina sama ended, you know what that means Sensei's child going to be born soon."
"I've been guarding her for long it feels a bit weird, stopping all of a sudden. I think that once the baby's born I'm going to stick around a bit."
Taking a pause, he breathes in and continues "Sensei and Kushina-sama decided to call the baby Naruto, it's just like them to name him something related to ramen. I'm sure if you were here Rin you would be all over Kushina sama, and Obito would have loved to have someone he could relate and play with" He gives his trademark eye smile.
"Now that the war is over and Minato-Sensei is Hokage, kids like him won't have to be sent to the battlefield anymore, children won't have to grow up so soon and die as you and Obito did."
"Sensei has really been excited about being a father, you wouldn't believe the number of times I caught him skipping work to see Kushina-san."
"Sensei wants me to teach him when he grows up, I can't see myself doing, but I know one thing I'm going to teach him to be like Obito. If I didn't fight with him so much you and he would still be here, so I am going to make sure it won't repeat itself and that Naruto will know the importance of teamwork." With that, he got up before saying "Bye Rin" as he walked away.
After he left a shadow suddenly covered the grave of "Rin Nohara" and the fresh flowers on it disappeared.
In another part of the Konoha a beautiful girl in her early teens about 14-15 with silky black hair and ruby red eyes, was walking down the street, the girl was wearing a black ninja outfit with a white collar and fishnet vest underneath with matching armbands. Despite her age, any man or boy would agree she was beautiful with jet black hair and crimson eyes giving her a foreign but dangerous look.
As she was wandering on the street not knowing what to do, but fate seemed to sense her boredom as out of nowhere her hand was suddenly grabbed by a running purple blur and she was dragged towards the other side of the village. The said blur was a purple-haired girl who looked nearly two to three years younger than her. Ignoring the shrieking and almost flying figure of the red-eyed beauty the poor girl was dragged by the madly cackling girl.
For what seemed like an eternity to the flying girl, the purple-haired girl skidded to a halt in front of a Dango shop. The girl rushed into the Dango shop leaving the red-eyed beauty outside of the shop in a dazed state. The condition on her face clearly said that she was not used to the free ticket flying.
Finally snapping out of the stupor she too entered the Dango shop and sat glaring daggers at the two years young girl in front of her who was eating Dango like there is no tomorrow. As she shoved the last one in her mouth her face starts to go purple the same as her hair as she grabbed a cup of ice tea and guzzled it down her throat. Coughing after her near-death experience, she grabbed the nearest Dango and continued to wage war on Dango kind everywhere.
Kurenai could only sweatdrop at the behavior of the girl in front of her "What's wrong Anko-Chan you've been eating guzzling Dango for one hour at this rate I'm going to run out." The waitress asked in concern. The sudden arrival of the waitress got the attention of Kurenai who was still glaring at the girl, now named Anko.
Anko's smile dropped a bit as she replied in a sad tone "Sensei been upset and acting strangely for a while, I think he's upset that he wasn't chosen as the Yondaime, he's been keeping his distance lately"
"Awe poor Anko-Chan but don't worry, all you have to do is be there for him and I am sure he'll cheer up eventually" She smiles at her favorite customer.
"What do you think Kurenai-chan?" the waitress suddenly addressed Kurenai who 'Eeped' a bit at the sudden spotlight.
Kurenai fidgeted a bit at the look Anko and the waitress were giving her.
Not knowing what to say Kurenai just told Anko just told what came to her mouth, "Be with him make him realize that he is not alone in his life. Be a light in his darkness."
"You really think" She smiles her eyes pleading to say yes.
"Of course. How could he not when he has such a caring and cute student like you," she stroked her hair trying to assure the sad girl. Kurenai too nodded in agreement. "Here next ones on the house," She says as she gives her another serving of Dango "But make sure to eat it slow I don't think I'll survive losing my best customer."
"Really thanks you're the best Bāa-chan" before a wooden try hits her on the head "Watch your manners young lady or no more Dango for you"
Anko gives a look of horror and stares at her as if she said the world will end tomorrow "No, not the Dango Hanami-San, I can't live without it, please don't."
She starts to cry and scream that the sky is falling that the world ending.
Hanami can only shake her head as she says in a tired tone "Sometimes I worry about your child if the world really was about to end because of Dango I don' know which side you would pick."
Meanwhile, Kurenai was sitting silently and watching the antics of Anko with an amused expression on her face. She will definitely choose Dango Hanami-san.
Just as Kurenai said this thing Anko took one empty Dango stick and points it at her with a glint in her eyes as she exclaims "Dango of course NO DANGO NO LIFE!"
Hanami can only cry tears as she goes and tends to the other guests.
For what seemed hours to Kurenai as Anko was continuing her war on Dango until Anko was so fully packed. Cleaning her teeth with one of the Dango sticks she turned towards the awkwardly silent sitting girl.
"So Kurenai-chan how things have been" Anko suddenly asked breaking the silence like a sheet of glass.
With a small sigh, she replies, "It's been alright, Otou-san been teaching me more Genjutsu but that's it, I don't think he trusts me very much, whenever he sees me he treats me like a kid" she huffs at the last part.
"You are right all adults will always treat us like a kid that needs protecting. We are Shinobi now we can take care of ourselves." Anko told her, "For example look at Asuma he always seems frustrated about his own father. I can't imagine how Sandaime-sama handled him."
"Well it's no surprise, he has lived through not one, but three of the great ninja wars it's good that we finally have Yondaime-sama though." she stated in admiration "I mean he's basically the reason we won the third ninja war."
Anko giving a nod of acknowledgment, "I know even Orochimaru-sensei says that Yondaime-sama is even stronger than him and maybe on par with the Shodai Hokage."
"Wow really looks like we're going to have another God of Shinobi in the making then, I knew he was strong, but I didn't think he was on par with Shodai" impressed not having seen the Yondaime in action.
"Yeah I was surprised when sensei said it, I always thought of him as unsurpassable, but I never thought that he would consider someone superior to him, but it's good for Konoha that everyone agrees that with Yondaime at the helm of Konoha is heading into a new golden age."
"Yeah... I know it's hard to believe it wasn't really that long ago we were at war." Kurenai said looking outside at all the smiling people "But now look it's so peaceful."
Anko smiled in return as well at the peaceful environment of the village it was sure intoxicating, but little she did know that the environment was going to change very soon.
The Hokage Tower
The Yondaime Hokage was just finishing off the last of the most powerful foe known to man paperwork while his predecessor talked to him, but the Yondaime could tell that he was really here to gloated at finally having managed to do that which both the Shodai and Nidaime Hokage couldn't do and that escaped the evil clutches of paperwork and enter blissful retirement.
"Today's the day Minato-Kun" The Sandaime Hokage is wearing a grey and modest kimono as he strokes his still barely brown beard.
"Yeah, I'm nervous, I mean it's just unbelievable, every time I saw Kushina I just can't help but think it's all a dream," Minato confessed with a smile, but if you looked closely you could see the concern in his eyes and a single bead of sweat on his brow.
"So do you think I'm ready… I mean I." The all-powerful Yondaime stuttered out.
"Of course, my boy all fathers are like that when they have their first child." The grandfatherly old man told him, his eyes full of kindness as he puts a hand on Minato's shoulder.
"Was it like that for you?" Minato asked hoping, to get some insight from his predecessor, at the question the Sandaime eyes harden as he remembers the time long passed.
"No, it was worse, both of my children were born into times of war" he looks at Minato and gives him a gentle smile "But your child's going to live in a time of peace thanks to you and I know you will be fine."
"I know and I'm thankful for that, but I just don't know if I'll be a good father, when I was an orphan myself" Minato confessed, "I mean what am I supposed to do how do I handle this when I never had parents myself."
"Nonsense, my boy, if you truly want to be a good father then give him everything you never had and I'm sure he'll be fine." The Sandaime told him.
"You're right," he said getting up from his chair "It's time, is everything ready," he asks, looking serious as he walks out the door as the Sandaime.
"Yes, you don't have to worry, the safe house is well guarded and my top Anbu were brought in to act as the guards not only that, but my wife will be there to personally help you through it."
"Thanks, I hope everything goes well without any problems."
"Don't worry my boy by this time tomorrow I expect you to be introducing me to your newborn son." As they walk out the door, smiling at his encouragement Minato continues to the safe house where he'll meet his wife.
"Genma, Raido, Tatami!" Minato calls to his bodyguards and the three men appear before him a 17-year-old with a bandana on his head and senbon in his mouth, a 19-year-old with the standard Konoha Hitai-ate and a black sword on his back, his face also had a scare that came from one side of his to the bridge o his nose. The final one was a much older man in his thirties wearing the Konoha Chunin uniform, a Hitai-ate, and had a black beard on his face. These three were Minato's personal guard selected from the three of the brightest and strongest Shinobi Minato had and fought with.
"You are all dismissed for tonight," Minato told them "But Yondaime-Sama aren't you going somewhere important tonig-" Genma started, but was cut off by Tatami as he put his arm in front of him "If that is your wish Yondaime-Sama," he told his Hokage.
"Yes, it is, don't worry, nothing bad will happen, I just have something private to do." He told his bodyguards happy at the concern they showed for his safety.
They did as he asked despite wanting to protest, Minato looked at the oldest and tallest of the three "Thank you Tatami, how's Iwashi-Kun doing" Minato asked the leader of the Hokage Guard Platoon. Tatami was a veteran in the war, and someone who Minato fought side by side many times during the war, he was assigned as the third bodyguard during the end of the war and stayed on as Minato's.
"My son's doing great, should be graduating soon he keeps saying how he's going to take my spot as your guard, the little rascal in such a rush." He jokes.
"I'm sure he'll be just as strong and diligent as his father," Minato tells.
"Goodbye Sandaime-sama I'll see you tomorrow"
"I'll be looking forward to it and good luck you're going to need it." He says to Minato with an evil glint in his eyes, which causes Minato to shiver as he stopped and looks back "Um...Ok," Minato gave back scared because that was the same look he gave him on his first day on the job when he introduced him to the devil's task for the first time. 'Damn you old man, what do you have planned this time' he thought, knowing nothing good comes from that look.
The three guards bow as their leader walks off.
"Why did you stop me, Captain Tatami as Yondaime-Sama personal bodyguards it's our duty to guard him at all times" Genma complained to his captain.
"I agree even if the Yondaime-Sama doesn't want us to go, we still have a duty to protect him" Raido agreed.
"True, but if he doesn't want us to go it means that he has something important to do-"
"That's even more of a reason for us to go" Genma snapped.
Tatami could only shake his head "No!" he exclaimed in authority "We are merely his guards, that does not mean we have the right to know everything Yondaime-Sama does. If he has something private to do that he doesn't want us to find out about then we have to let it go" He told them, knowing full well that there are things that only the Hokage is supposed to know about.
"Doesn't he trust us?" Genma asked, and though he didn't voice it Raido also thought it?
"Hehe Now my boys there no need to think like that" came from an aged voice.
"Sandaime-Sama!" The boys exclaimed.
"Minato trust you with his life and if it was anything else he would have brought you along in a heartbeat, but as Hokage and a person in general, there are some things that have to be kept secret from anyone, but the Hokage because even though he trusts you he can't let information that could harm the village get out." told the third as he took a puff of his pipe.
"Don't let it get to you Minato is just doing what he thinks is best, trust him as he does you." The old wise man finished exhaling smoke.
Genma and Raido looked down, knowing that was true, and were disappointed with themselves for not trusting the Yondaime.
"Yes, you're right" Genma admitted.
"Don't let it get you down, youth-
"Youth!" was echoed out of now where.
The four men ignored the creepy voice knowing full well who it was and that it better off ignoring what happened, than risk making matters worse by pointing it out "As I was saying is a time for learning and before you know it you will be as old and grey as I am." He laughed earning a shiver from the boys as they image their older selves.
At that, they all went their separate ways the old Hokage thought 'Please let tonight go well for all our sakes.'
On one of the side streets of the main street of leaf village, there was a restaurant that was one of the best in the leaf and was a frequent visiting spot for Shinobi.
The restaurant itself was just a little building consisting of two floors the first dedicated to the shop and had a kitchen in the back the second was where the family that owned the restaurant lived a man and his daughter.
The outside had a banner with the name of the restaurant "Ichiraku Ramen" this place was known to sell the best ramen in the world a fact that its number one customer will agree with.
The flaps of the restaurant as a shout of women called "Hey old man, ramen on the double!" the women was none other than the Kushina Uzumaki the Red Hot Habanero, and woman that would go to war if anyone kept her from her love ramen.
Teuchi the owner came out "Kushina should really eat ramen with the baby about to be born, you were here only a few horses ago" he told her.
"GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!" was his answer as he vibrated the whole store. "That's exactly why I'm here the baby's hungry and needs ramen fast." She told him with all the passion she could muster.
"Kushina-Obaa-san!" came a cry as a brown blur clung itself to her leg "Is he here is here yet!" the blur asked.
"Not yet Ayame-Chan, you're going to have to wait until you can play with Naru-Chan" Kushina chided the five-year-old girl while rubbing her head with her hand
Ayame was an adorable little girl with black eyes and long brown hair, said girl pouted "Aww, but I want to play with my Otouto" she whined.
"Now, now I'm sure Naru-Chan will love to play with his Nee-chan, but you're going to have to wait a little while longer" as she sat down and Ayame took the seat next to her.
"But you always say that" She pouted again.
"That's because it's true, baby takes time to grow." Kushina giggled.
"I know and I know, but when is the baby going to come here," Ayame asked excitedly.
"Soon, very soon" Kushina answered while rubbing her stomach.
"Order up" was called as Kushina ramen appeared and Teuchi started on the next few bowels know his favorite customer won't stop at just one.
"I swear Kushina you only got pregnant so you could eat more ramen." Teuchi laughed.
"Not true, though I will miss not being able to eat as much-dattebane." Laughed Kushina laughed her hand rubbed the back of her head.
"I and Minato-Kun can't wait we're so nervous and I can't stop worrying about what my baby boy will be like."
"He'll probably be a hyperactive knucklehead that loves ramen, and inherited your verbal tick." Teuchi chimed in.
"I hope he doesn't inherit the verbal tick, though I wouldn't mind the rest and I'm sure you'll love the increased business," Kushina responded with a sly smirk to the old ramen chef.
"That I will, that I will." Teuchi didn't hide the fact he liked the idea of having another bottomless pit to feed 'With those two I'll be as rich as the Hokage by the time I retire' he thought as images of the future blond hair boy and Kushina eating together.
"Kushina here you are!" Came from the entrance "I knew you would be here" Biwako the wife of the third stated as she shakes her head "Please try and act like a woman in your position, now come on the preparation are done."
"Right!" Kushina responded before she guzzled the last of her ramen and walked out with Biwako "Bye old man I'll see you soon"
Kushina and Biwako left the establishment as they walk towards the gates Kushina spotter her long-time friend Mikoto Uchiha, who held a bundle in her arms.
As they past Mikoto offered a bow to Biwako, and Kushina stared in wonder at the beautiful baby in her arms "Wow you had a girl" Kushina said as she looked at her friend's child.
"No, he's a boy" Mikoto giggled out.
"Aw, what a cutie, hey there little guy, what's your name handsome," Kushina asked the baby.
Responding Mikoto told her it's "Sasuke Uchiha"
Biwako came up and the stern woman now had a smile on her face as she said "Oh, he was named after the father of Sandaime-Sama then was he"
Mikoto answered, "Yes, so he will turn out to be a strong and splendid Shinobi." At this, the baby boy began to cry.
"You're due soon too Kushina you ought to start picking out baby names soon Kushina" She smiled.
"Actually, I already decided, I'm going to call him Naruto he'll be classmates with little Sasuke here." Kushina said as she patted the boys head so he'll stop crying and poked his cheeks lightly "I hope you two get along"
After that Kushina asks Mikoto shaken slightly as her hand covered her face "By the way does it really hurt like they say it does?"
A sweatdropped at Kushina's question "Wow, so there really is something that scares you, shocking." At that Biwako pulled Kushina back "Come Kushina"
"Yes ma'am"
"The details behind your birthing are supposed to be secret remember until we get to our location you must avoid all contact with anyone even friends" She chided.
"Yes ma'am, sorry" Kushina responded while rubbing her head.
"Also, even though we are outside the village this is supposed to be covert so when your labor pains start don't cry out"
That last sentence worried Kushina "Yes ma'am"
"I can do that, no problem... right," Kushina thought worriedly as they left the village.
On the outskirts of the Konoha, there was a hideout built into the mountain, there was a bridge built along the mountain, allowing access to the hideout and a river below to make it almost impossible to approach from the front and the height of the mountain itself made it impossible to attack from behind or above. However, the most peculiar feature was that above the entrance was what looked like a Tori gate built into the mountain there were six support beams that held the object to the side of the mountain. Despite its odd placement this gate served a purpose because on the front of it was a paper marked with the kanji for the barrier, along with several other seals built into the hideout made it impregnable with the only way to get in or out was through the entrance.
Outside the hideout were four ANBU one standing guard on the top of the Tori gate, two more on each side on the bridge, and a final one standing below to watch on the only rock in the river below.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT HURTS DATTEBANE." Was cried out as the four ANBU standing guard each felt a sweat drop behind their mask at the cry and each being thankful they don't have to go through something that can make even the dreaded Red Hot Habanero cry out.
Inside stood four people in the stone room at the entrance another tag could be seen for the barrier. The first man with bright yellow hair stood nervously, his hands stretched above the stomach of his wife we laid on a table screaming in pain as she gave birth. The other two were a nurse who stood to the side healing, as an old woman assisted Kushina as her midwife.
"Will she be ok, I've never seen Kushina-Chan in so much pain before, that she cried out like this, will she really be alright," Minato asked as he looked worriedly at his wife as she screamed and grimaced in pain, wanting to help his love more as the strongest woman he knows makes another scream.
"Yes, she's going to be fine, now shut up and stay focused on the Kyuubi seal" came from the Biwako, as she scolded Minato for being so unfocused.
"Yes, but she's so-" Minato's concerns were cut off as Biwako told him "You're the Yondaime Minato, now get a grip and act like it, most men would have dropped dead from the pain long ago, but women are much stronger."
Minato focused on the seal, but his concerns were still there as he thought "Even so Kushina-Chan still in so much pain"
In the Seal, Kushina could loudly hear a roar as the Kyuubi tried to break free from his prison. He was bound to a rock that floated in midair, spikes impaled him every limb blood could be since coming from the wounds, causing him pain as he struggled to thrash about the golden chains that held him from freedom.
'He's so strong the Kyuubi is raving' Minato thought looking determined his face covered in sweat as he struggled to hold back the fox.
"Hang in their Kushina-Chan," He told her sending her a worried glance before he turned back "Naruto come on" he almost shouted willing his son to be born faster.
"WAAAAAAAAA! WAAA! WAA!" was heard as Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze caught her breath, relaxing as she listens to the sound of her baby crying. As the sounds of the baby reached her, a lone teardrop of happiness filled in her eyes as she was finally a mother.
Minato stood to the side frozen, his eyes wide still not believing that it really happened that he is a father "It-Its really here" he said in amazement, as he watched Biwako washing his son as he cried, warping him into a blanket.
As tears started to wheel in Minato's eyes brought his arm up and say with joy "Today I'm a-a Father."
Biwako smiled at him as she walked over to him "Yes Minato, you have a healthy baby boy."
As Biwako walks up to him Minato held his hand out as called his child's name for the first time "Naruto" only to be taken by surprise as Biwako shielded the baby from him and told him hands off you.
As he frowned she proclaimed "Okaa-san first Otōu-san second." Minato could only sulk as she took his baby boy away from him and give a weak "Kay" as she made her way over to the mother.
More tears came to Kushina's eyes as she turned her head to catch a glimpse of her baby for the first time. "So Naruto, we finally meet" she whispered with a smile memorizing his features he had a turf of sun-kissed blond hair like his fathers and a round face like his mother, chubby with baby fat, finally there were three cute whisker marks on each cheek like that of a fox, though Kushina knew where they were from she didn't care. All she could do was stare in wonder at Her son.
"Now you will have more time later" Biwako announced as she walked away trying to comfort the baby she was holding.
Minato made his way to his beloved wife putting one hand on hers as he asked her "Kushina-Chan! Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm ok," she told him still a bit weak, Minato looked like he was about to cry himself when he told her "Thank you" for making him a father.
Kushina eyes sparkled filled with joy and happiness like her husbands were as she whispered "Minato-Kun"
"Alright" Minato announced as he made a fist and punched into his hands "I realize what you've just been through, but we need to really seal the Kyuubi" as he said that a scream was heard as Naruto started to cry again.
"Biwako-Sama, Tachi" he called out turning, there he saw a masked man with a cloak, holding his son a hand ready to take his life.
"Yondaime Hokage Minato Namikaze step away from the Jinchuuriki" Both Minato and Kushina looked at him with fear, for their son.
"Or else this child... will die in its first minute."
"How the hell did he get past the barrier, who is" Minato cursed, as he pivoted his foot readying himself to rescue his son.
"Ahhhhh!" Came from Kushina as the seal on her stomach started to bulge and the sealing formula spread over the rest of her body, a sign that it was about to break.
"Kushina!" Minato shouted as he faced her "No the Kyuubi seal is-" he thought worryingly before he was cut off by the intruder.
"Get away from the Jinchuuriki, don't you care what happens to this little brat." The masked man threatened to pull a kunai from his sleeve.
As Minato looked back at the masked man he could see Biwako and Tachi lying on the floor as blood pooled out, a clear sign that they were dead, making the Yondaime Hokage panic even more as "Wait" lifting his left hand up, hoping to stop calm the man down before he does anything rash "Just please calm down."
"Speak for yourself, I am as calm as I can be Minato" was his reply as he threw Naruto into the air.
"NARUTO!" Kushina shouted as she watched her baby cry as he was thrown, Minato was angered at the act as he glared at the man.
The masked man jumped up after Naruto intending to skewer him with the Kunai, but at the last second Naruto disappeared, and Minato appeared on the other side of the wall with Naruto in his arms.
"Leave it to the Yellow Flash of the Leaf, but what about the next one" The masked man taunted as he fell and right when his feet touched the ground he made a hand seal.
"Hissssssss!" at the sizzling sound Minato stared down at Naruto in shock, noticing the explosive tags attached to the blanket Naruto was wrapped in, as they sizzled about to explode.
"Minato-Kun!" Kushina shouted in desperation.
Minato jumped off the wall, grabbing the blanket, as he fell down the scene around him changed as he threw the blanket away. As he landed in a now different location he jumped again, hugging his son to him, protecting him as he crashed through a door of a house seconds before it exploded.
Minato was sent flying as he touched the ground, he dug his feet in to stop him, as he came to a stop Naruto started to cry again.
Minato could only smile at his boy "Thank goodness." Naruto wasn't injured "Ow" he winced in pain as he realized that a piece of wood from the house was jammed in his right leg.
As he removed the offending splinter, he thought back to the man analyzing everything that happened in the last few seconds. "He forced me to use the 'Hiraishin no Jutsu (Flying Thunder God Jutsu)'" as he looked at the now bloody spike he finished his thought "His target was Kushina-Chan, and he succeeded in separating us, tch got to hurry" he flicked the piece of wood in the air and as it fell, he disappeared.
And reappeared in a safe house on the outskirts of the Konoha.
Back at the Hideout
Kushina glared at the masked man as he approached her "Who are you!" she asked, her breath labored and body in pain from the weakening seal.
"Me, I'm no one just a ghost from the past." He taunted her as he looked at her with his Sharingan eye.
"Wait but that's-" She was cut off as a Genjutsu subdued her "Don't worry Kushina it will all be over soon, and then the dream can begin." The masked man told his docile captured as she obeyed his commands.
A vortex appeared from his eye as he and Kushina were sucked in.
They reappeared farther away from Konoha, he set Kushina upon a stone and then used Fuinjutsu to hold her in place restraining her with the four stones around her, as he finished he undid the Genjutsu he placed on her.
As Kushina came to she looked around noticing the different locations breathing heavily, she asked "Alright, what do you want?"
"I'm going to extract the Kyuubi from you and crush Konoha" Kushina was shocked at his answer as she spurted out "No you can't"
The masked man set his eye on her as he continued "Minato teleportation Jutsu allows him to move instantly, to locations that are marked with Jutsu formula, those same markings are incorporated into this sealing formula. That way Minato can protect you at all times, but he's far away now and the Kyuubi seal is weakened due to childbirth, do you have any idea how long I have to wait for this moment."
With Minato
Minato was putting Naruto in a bed "You'll be safe here" he told his son and as he pulled the blanket's over the sleeping boy's face "Naruto, please be patient, I have to go and rescue your mother now right now."
Kushina stared wide-eyed at the Masked man, both not moving a muscle, however inside the seal the Kyuubi was staring down at the intruder as he growled "It's you!" recognizing the intruder.
The masked man's Sharingan spun, and in Kushina Mindscape, the Kyuubi pupils shrank and then expanded into the same pattern of the Sharingan.
The ball of Lava the Kyuubi was attached to started to melt and so did the chains holding him down, the Kyuubi freed himself pulling away from the chains lava and blood flew as he did, his eyes now empty of all thought only showing mindless fury. The spike impaled into his chest was pushed out as he roared.
In the real world, Kushina's mouth was open in a silent scream, crimson chakra enveloped her, bubbling in the shape of a fox her eyes were white, devoid of thought.
The seal on her stomach opened up into a black hole, as a portal opened up connecting this world with the one inside Kushina Mindscape.
"Now then, come out Kyuubi. It's time to play my dear pet." the masked man ordered as he focused on his energy, to release the seal.
Blood red chakra erupted from the seal at his command, it took the shape of the Kyuubi head as it roared, like the spirit, it was it flew into the air, the chakra taking physical form as it got higher and higher eventually nine tails sprouted, and with a thump, the full body of the Kyuubi manifested in the real world after more than a century.
With a mighty roar towards the full moon, the Kyuubi celebrated its freedom from the seal, as it stood on two legs the last of its chakra being separated from its ex-prison. As the last remnants of his chakra left, Kushina fell to the floor, her body exhausted and on the verge of death.
The Kyuubi gave another roar as the masked man acknowledged his victory over his new servant "Good now we'll head to Konoha village." He spoke as he turned and walked away.
"Wait" Kushina managed to get out.
"You Uzumaki's are just amazing. You don't die right away when the tail beast is extracted." He complimented and at the same time, the Kyuubi glared at Kushina.
"You were the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki" At that the savage Kyuubi faced her his eye full of bloodlust as he prepared to strike "So I'll let you have the honor to die by his hands" at the commend the Kyuubi swung its claw at Kushina, she could only watch as her death came, a shock wave and explosion occurred as the Kyuubi claw landed on his former host.
However, it was not to be, as seconds after Minato appeared on top of the tree in front of the Kyuubi, his wife safely in his arms.
The masked man looked up to Yellow Flash "Well, well you really are as quick as a flash, but you're too late."
Kushina looked at her husband and whizzed out "Minato, Naruto is he... is he alright then." Her eye had black bags under them, her face deathly pale as she struggles to stay conscious, but despite her critical condition, the only thoughts on her mind were what happened to her baby.
Minato smiled as he responded, "Yes he's fine, he's in a safe place for now."
"Good, Minato that masked man… his with the Kyuubi…he's heading to the village stop them," Kushina whispered.
At that Minato glared at the man, his eyes an icy cold blue, that promised death before he disappeared.
"He flew away, oh well that's fine, let's get to Konohagakure" The masked man stated not at all affected by Minato's glare that promised his death.
The hidden leaf village was peaceful, fathers and sons watched the stars, husbands, and wives argued, cats made their rendezvous, shopping patriot's left for the night promising to come back, friends helped their drinking buddy's home. The villagers laughed and gossiped without a care in the world completely unaware o the danger that was approaching.
"Hmm" Kakashi signed as Guy once again tried to rope him into another challenge "Look, why don't we just do rock paper scissors again." Kakashi offered not wanting to do anything too strenuous on this peaceful night.
"Oh come on there must be something more exciting we can do, and you call yourself my rival" Guy complained, in his usual over-the-top voice.
Kakashi stared at him as he explained "We have to get an early start tomorrow; so why don't we take a pass for tonight." He eyed smiled hoping to placate his rival.
"A mission is no excuse! I have all this pent-up energy inside me, so there's no better time than right now for some really rigorous training!" Guy shouted as he kept walking onward his hand pointed towards the sky and a bright future as he continued his monologue about training, not realizing that Kakashi stopped, feeling like something bad was going to happen.
When Guy finally noticed him, he swung back getting right in Kakashi's face "Are you even listening to me!"
"Forget that for now," Kakashi told him, trusting his instincts that have been honed by years of fighting and life and death situations. "Do you feel something strange, like there is suddenly a dark chill in the air?" He told his comrade as he searched for the source of the disturbing feeling.
"THE ONLY THING CHILLY HERE IS YOUR ATTITUDE YOU MUST BE MORE HOT BLOODED!" Guy shouted at the top of his lungs at his apathetic companion unaware that Kakashi was sensing what was to come.
At the Uchiha compound, a young boy with ravine colored hair was holding a small baby that had the same pitch-black hair like him, as he gazed upon the moon
"I feel something ominous" he stated to himself, as a chill went up to his spine.
As with agreeing the baby in his arms started to cry out "There, there it's ok" the boy told his baby brother.
"What a strange feeling, of all the times for Tou-san and Kaa-san to be out," he thought as he continued to rock his brother, before smiling "Don't cry Sasuke, your big brother will protect you, I promise you that."
In his study Hiruzen Sarutobi was reading over some of the reports in Minato place, as smoked his pipe he suddenly felt a chill as he breathed out, smoke filled the air as he looked at the window at the full moon. "It can't be," He said praying that the ire familiar feeling was not what he thought it was. Getting up, he left the room, not taking a chance as he went to change into his battle armor.
The masked man landed in an alleyway of the village, silently as he performed the summoning hand seals, his lone Sharingan eye blazed crimson with three circular comma structure spun slowly as he shouted "Summoning Jutsu!"
"BOOOOOOM!" was heard all over the village as an explosion went off, smoke filled the area, catching the attention of every person in the village, powerful shockwaves sent Debri's flying and the villagers closest to the event stopped the arms up to protect them from the wind as others were knocked down.
As the shockwaves ceased, the villager looked at the shadowy figure in the smoke. A villager watched in terror as he asked "Is that?" glowing blood-red eye could be seen through, as reddish/orange fur appeared, and growling could be heard.
The villagers cried out in terror "No way!" one of them shouted at the monster that appeared before them, nine tails curled out and a blood curdling "ROOOOAAARRRRR!" filled Konoha.
"I-it's the Kyuubi!" one of the villagers shouted, and all the villagers fled for their lives.
"Go Kyuubi!" the masked man ordered his pet, and by command of the Sharingan the fox obeyed, releasing another earth-shattering roar, windows broke by the pressure of the sound all over and his left claw smashed up the building next to him, the wreckage flew impaling some fleeing villagers.
His tails lashed out crushing more buildings, as they moved out the way one could see the remains of the house owners and their body under the rubble and the wreckage too on a crimson paint.
His tails now dripped with blood as the crimson coated the beast fur. Kyuubi looked every bit as demonic as the legends said.
The villagers watched in fear as the blood-covered fox approached them its mouth opening as and his still stainless white teeth could be seen, sharp and ready to tear into them.
As Kyuubi was rampaging throughout the village destroying buildings that came in the demon's way killing villagers and Shinobi without any mercy there was a flash of yellow light and Minato was standing at the top of the Hokage monument.
His cape fluttered in the wind as he stared at the Kyuubi and the damage it's done to his village.
As it by fate the Kyuubi eyes caught the Yondaime, he turned his head and faced him glaring at the Yondaime.
"So you've finally taken notice." he said to himself.
The Kyuubi opened its mouth as blue and red chakra bubbles started to gather together forming a compressed purple ball of chakra.
Realizing that the ball was the Bijuu's strongest attack and what the fox intended to do with it, Minato started to make some hand signs "Do not fuck with me!" he said to himself determination of protecting his home burning in his eyes.
Just as the ball of chakra was about to hit the monument, it stopped as seals appeared midair, the air and space seemed to twist and bend around the tailed beast bomb, swallowing it completely.
On the mountain Minato is controlling the space and time barrier, as the tailed beast bomb is fully consumed, Minato held his kunai up.
"Hiraishin: Dorai (Flying Thunder God: Guiding Thunder)"
BOOM
An explosion could be heard miles away from the village destroying an entire mountain range.
"With this much power I need to carefully choose where I redirect the attacks." the Yondaime thought panting a little as the Jutsu nearly depleted his chakra reserves.
"I got to alert Sandaime-sama of what's going on' Minato thought but suddenly senses went on high alert as he felt a presence behind him.
The same masked man from before appeared behind him with his left hand stretched out, ready to get rid of his adversary.
Just as his hand was about to reach the unsuspecting Yondaime, Minato suddenly turned around trying to stab the kunai in the side of the man's head in a reverse grip.
Only to be taken by surprise as the kunai just phased through the man's head as if he was never there, the man's red-eye held no reaction as he caught Minato's arm that phased through him.
"I'm your opponent." the masked man said as a vortex appeared in his left eye and tried to suck Minato in.
But Minato disappeared before he was completely sucked in clearing proving why he was considered as the world's fastest man.
"He's fast enough to fly away." the masked man said impressed by the speed displayed by the yellow flash.
"But I will be quicker next time." he finished as he too disappeared after Minato as the vortex in his eye sucked him in.
On the outskirts of the village Minato appeared neared one of his tri pronged kunai and fell to the ground.
"That technique" – Minato said pondering what he just experienced "It's a space-time technique more advanced than my own. It happens it doesn't require hand seals. I don't know who he is but his chakra signature seems familiar."
Suddenly a figure appeared just a few meters away from Minato. There it stood the masked man preparing the legendary Kiroii Senko. The man stared at each other no one trying to make the first move.
"Who are you?" asked Minato as he wondered who could possibly have the power to not only unleash the Kyuubi but also control the Kyuubi.
"My name is long forgotten and despised in the history of this village. I once was known as Madara Uchiha but you can call me Tobi," he replied in a monotonous voice.
"No, that would be impossible he's dead."
"Hmmm, I wonder about that" The masked man taunted.
"In the end, it doesn't matter who you are, but why to attack Konoha," Minato responded with another question.
"What you could you like to hear, I could say I did it on a whim, or that I planned it, or that it's for war, or that it's for peace." The man pulled chains from his sleeves preparing for a fight, as he finished his monologue of reasons.
'Either way, he's not ordinary Shinobi being able to control nine tails with his Sharingan and his transportation technique surpasses my own. With his dangerous ideology, if I don't take care of him now then we'll have even big problems than Kyuubi.' were Minato's thoughts as he prepared to fight the masked man.
"Now that I've freed the Kyuubi there is no longer hope for any of you." the masked man stated as both he and Minato charged at each other in a battle of speed. The fastest would win.
Minato tried to stab him with his kunai only to faze right through him, when Minato came out the other side the man's charged in an attempt to ensnare him with his chain, as the chain begins to tighten Minato disappeared in a flash and reappeared at a kunai ahead of him.
'My physical attacks have no effect on him, but he makes himself solid to attack, I have to aim for a mutual strike. But he is aware that he is vulnerable when he has attacked. Whoever attacks an instant quicker than the other will win the battle.' Minato summarized his attack of strategy mentally, before charging at the man and looking for the moment that will decide the fate of the battle.
Both combatants charged at each other as they did at the start of the battle, Minato simply threw his kunai at his opponent, but it just phased through the man.
As the masked man was about to stab Minato intending to finish it with one blow, he was not bothered by the swirling ball of chakra created by Minato as he knew that it would just phase right through him.
With an intention to rip his opponent's heart out, as his hand was mere millimeters away from Minato's chest he declared arrogantly "I win"
But in a flash, Minato disappeared and caught his kunai midair that he threw before, and he slammed his Jutsu of pure chakra right into the man's back.
The chakra orb drilled right through him and the ground below him shattered. The masked man's brain now realized what actually happened "Damn it, he teleported himself to his kunai."
After drilling the orb into the masked man's back Minato whispered "Flying Raijin Level 2 (HIRAISHIN NO JUTSU)"
The masked man jumped away breathing deeply, taking the Jutsu head-on took a toll on him as his hand left hand seemed to melt, as some white substance fell from it.
"I see now why they call you the fastest man alive, I let my guard down for just a-" the man's commentary was cut off as Minato suddenly appeared behind him and stabbed him with his kunai and his other hand on his chest. 'What? He must have marked me somewhere.' the man thought in panic as his mind gave him this conclusion.
But his thoughts were interrupted as a sealing array spread through his body. 'A Contract Seal. He separated the Kyuubi from me.'
"With this, the Kyuubi is no longer yours." stated the masked man as he jumped into the tree, blood dripping down from the stab wound. "You are worthy of your title Yondaime Hokage. Injuring me and separating Kyuubi from my control." the masked praised his opponent.
'Even if he managed to cut off Kyuubi from me he still doesn't know that effect of Mangekeyo Sharingan cannot be broken a simple contract seal. I won't be able to control him again but he will still complete the task given to him.' The masked man thought darkly.
A swirl appeared from his eye, as he was being dragged "One day I will rule the world. There are number of ways to do it." warned the masked man before completely disappearing.
Minato was worried by the warning of the masked man 'Giving his tone, he's not joking around.' thought Minato. He picked his kunai and teleported towards the Kyuubi.
Even if Kyuubi's eyes returned to his normal red eyes with vertical black slits, but the effect of the Sharingan was still there so he did what he was ordered to do. He kept destroying the village crushing buildings, killing the fleeing citizens to nothing but a bloody pulp.
Battlefield
Sandaime watched the Kyuubi and the blood of the people that coated the beast, with his resolve strong and with the help of his trusted summon the monkey king Enma he drove the fox out of the village.
He ordered the ninjas to keep the fox busy as he desperately waited for Minato, knowing that his ninja may have the home-field advantage, but without his successor, he knew that they cannot hold for a long time and after that, they will surely perish.
He looked around as the Konoha-nin kept fighting the Kyuubi there was a clear path of destruction behind them, from when the Kyuubi was forced out of the village.
"Hold your ground till lord forth arrives!" one of them shouted to the rest before attacking.
Minato once again arrived on the monument on Sandaime's head. He was shocked at the sight in front of him.
The Kyuubi was charging another "Bijuu-dama (Tailed Beast Bomb)"
"Terrible," he said in worry, remembering the power of the attack.
The Sandaime fell to his knees succumbing to exhaustion as the beast charged its attack, 'He's going to do that again' he thought in worry.
Seeing the technique being charged Minato did some hand seals and shouted out the technique "Kuchiyose no Jutsu (Summoning Technique)." as he drops down on top of Kyuubi with his summon toad boss pinning the Kyuubi into the ground.
Sandaime looked atop the giant toad "Is that..."
One of the fighting Shinobi shouted, "It's the Yondaime Hokage!"
'I shall rule this world' rang through Minato's head as he regretted what he was about to do.
'Kushina forgive me'
"Bunta hold the Kyuubi just a little while longer."
"I'll give it my best, but it will tough even for me." The chief toad grunted as he struggled to hold the Kyuubi who was still charging the Bijuu-dama.
The Sandaime stood there watching the beast closed his mouth to attack them, but he suddenly noticed a flash of a very familiar pattern in the beast's eyes he tried to observe more carefully but the beast disappeared.
"Minato, he teleported the Kyuubi with him." The Sandaime turned to the side to see a giant explosion in the distance.
The Kyuubi reappeared inside a house destroying it due to its colossal size and fired his technique destroying the surrounding area.
Minato appeared with his wife and child in his hand, having quickly grabbed them before the beast destroyed the house.
He panted teleporting things this size nearly depleted his chakra. "I must erect a barrier" he gathered his remaining chakra to erect the barrier to detain the Kyuubi in.
His technique was halted as he coughed a bit of blood clearly indicating the strain he was putting on his body. 'My body can't handle any more strain.'
Seeing her husband's situation she decided to lend a hand to her husband, "Minato I can still do it." Kushina wheezed as she holds back some blood that she coughed up, golden chins of chakra sprouted from her back, digging the ground ensnaring the Kyuubi, before forming a barrier.
Kushina coughed up more blood, causing her husband to shout out her name in worry. The coughing also woke up baby Naruto as he started to cry.
"I woke you up, huh sorry Naruto," Kushina told her son.
"Kushina" Minato called out but was cut off by "I'm going to draw the Kyuubi with me and die. It will give you more time to deal with him when he emerges. It's all I can manage now with what little chakra I have left, but I'll be able to save you both. So thank you for everything you have done." she thanked her husband's heart, as the Kyuubi struggled for his freedom.
Minato was shocked at this and Naruto whimpered a bit a single tear came down his face as he looked at his mother's face for what was the first and last time.
Kushina slowly raised her hand and gently took the child from Minato. She shakily took the child in her arms as she wrapped him up in a warm embrace. He instantly calmed down and smiled as she rubbed his back gently and held him in her arms and gazed at him with a loving expression at the sleeping child.
Minato watched the interaction with a very sad smile knowing that Kushina was never going to get to hold their child ever again he tried to hold back his tears as the child calmed and he started to regret what he was about to do.
"Minato." called out Kushina in a raspy voice, snapping the blonde Hokage's attention towards who was about to have an emotional breakdown.
"Please Minato please don't regret what you were about to do, you did what you can do to protect the village. I'm happy because you gave me the biggest gift that a girl can ever expect from her man. A gift of being a mother."
Kushina, you're the best thing that ever happened to me in my life, you are the one who made me what I am today, and now you made me a father, and yet I am unable to protect my only family." stated Minato chocking on his voice as he tears freely flowed from his eyes unable to stop it.
"Above all, when I think about our future together as a family if I lived, I can only see a life full of happiness, but I guess if I was just had one regret is that I will be unable to see him growing up, I wish I could have seen that."
"Kushina there is a need for you to die, in order to kill the Kyuubi. Conserve what little chakra you have to ensure your reunion with Naruto."
Kushina looked at him surprised and wiping his tears he continued "I am going to seal the rest of your chakra in him. It will be a part of a Hake no Fuin Shiki (Eight Trigram Divination Seal Spell Formula) and then I will take the Kyuubi with me since I'm not a Jinchuriki I'll have to use the Shiki Fujin (Reaper Death Seal)"
"Minato you can't if you used that seal you'll die and besides the reaper death seal is still incomplete Jutsu no one knows what will happen." Kushina wheezed out, restraining the Kyuubi with her nearly depleted chakra reserves was taking a heavy toll on her body.
"And there's one other thing, I'm only going to seal half of the Kyuubi, it's physically impossible to seal this much power, but it's also strategically unwise, if you take the Kyuubi with you there will be no Jinchuuriki until he remerges this will upset the balance of power between the Bijuu, with the Shiki Fūjin we can at least seal half of the Kyuubi forever and the other half I'll seal it inside Naruto with the Hakke no Fūin Shiki. I know what you're going to say, but remember what master Jiraiya said about great upheaval and also all the calamity's that would accompany it, I've become convinced of two things today, first that masked man who attacked you will bring catastrophe to the world and second the one who will stop him is this child, this infant whose godfather is master Jiraiya he will open up the future as a Jinchuuriki I now it somehow I'm sure of it." He smiled at his wife as he, put Naruto down.
Kushina frowned at the mentioned name of Jiraiya, she never liked that man and his ideologies and how he tried to mooch off the Minato's fame and success. In the end, she never cared for that man whose only thoughts were to peep on women and rant how his ideologies will change the world.
Minato never noticed the frown on his wife's face as he was busy doing the hand seals, on the final seal he shouted "Shiki Fūjin (Reaper Death Seal)" A strange ghostly figure with beads in his hand, a white cloak around him, purple skin, white hair and red horns on his head, appeared behind him.
"Let's believe in him after all this child is our son."
Sandaime arrived and heard what Minato said and he immediately recognized the hand seals performed by his successor.
"Those signs... don't tell me" Enma started, and the Sandaime finished "Yes it's the Shiki Fūjin" The Sandaime concluded.
"After I completed this seal, I'm going to seal your chakra inside Naruto too, you won't have much time but I want you to try and help him control the Kyuubi power as Jinchuuriki."
"But he's our son, which is exactly why I don't want him to bear such a heavy burden and tell me why to use the Shiki Fūjin, if it only so I can meet Naruto when he grows up, especially if it is only for a short time then there's no need for you to die. I'd rather you stayed with him and watch over him, I just don't understand why it has to be this way. Why does Naruto have to be sacrificed for the balance of power among the Bijuu, for his nation, for his village, why do you need to sacrifice yourself, as well just for me please." Kushina cried coughing up blood pleading her husband to not do this and stay with their son. Moments before she thought Minato was going to seal the whole Kyuubi in himself, but hearing his real plan shocked her to the core.
"To forsake one's nation and one's village is exactly the same as forsaking one's own child, your very own homeland was destroyed so you should know that, a harsh life awaits those without a land to call their home, besides our family is Shinobi." Minato told his wife before he smiled at her and staring again "Finally even if I were to live I couldn't be a substitute for you, you won't have much time with him but there something that only you can tell Naruto, something that I just can't that's an Okaa-san role, I'm not doing this just for you I'm doing it for Naruto."
After that, he picked up Naruto and told his wife "I will die for my son, it is my duty as his Otōu-san." Minato and Kushina stared at each other while Sandaime tried to get through the barrier. Two ninjas arrived and asked what was wrong. "It's no good, we can't get in any closer this barrier is preventing the Kyuubi from escaping, it seems the two of them plan to take care of the Kyuubi all by themselves."
The Shinigami raised his left hand and it went right through Minato's stomach ripping the clothes off the other side, yet there was no wound as the ghostly arm went through him, it stretched and grabbed onto the Kyuubi who was growling at the couple.
But as the death god's hand grabbed the Kyuubi he was released from whatever remaining influence of the Sharingan and he came back to his senses and he found himself bound by that dreaded chains and his chakra slowly leaving as the ghostly hand slowly ripped it apart. He desperately looked around and saw his former host who appeared to be weak as hell. But his anger peaked when he saw that Yondaime Hokage was ripping his chakra out. He was about to be sealed again, not wanting to lose his freedom and his chakra he made a quick plan.
Seeing an opportunity when the red-haired Ant coughed up blood and the chains around him loosened the Yondaime's attention was diverted at her halting his Jutsu and as a result, the Kyuubi chakra that was being taken out from the Kyuubi returned to its owner, he raised one of his paws and struck at the direction of Naruto who appeared to be their weakness but he was further angered as his paws were stopped piercing his target, as his claws were impaled through his parent bodies protecting their child, their body acting as a human shield protecting him.
The claw went right through them, as the claw pierced through them both used all their willpower to stop it before it reached their son. Kushina held the bloody claw at her stomach as her other organs also fell down blood flowing out of the wound where the claw pierced her. Minato dug his feet into the ground the claw stopped just inches from Naruto and his parent's blood dripped from it and landed on him.
Minato looked in horror at the fallen organs of her beloved wife he turned his head slightly and glared at the Kyuubi with hatred and coldness visible in his eyes, the cold intensity of them as cold as ice in response to Kyuubi fire. There was some sort of conversation through their eyes, with Minato's eyes conveying 'You will suffer as the message with Kyuubi's eyes displaying 'Bring it, vermin' as a response.
Their glaring was halted when he heard the crying voice of his child.
He watched as Kushina tried to calm down their child but was unable in her current state, but there was one part of his brain saying that his son was somehow aware that he will never see his parents ever again.
"Minato why?" Kushina asked her voice getting hoarse.
"I am his father, protecting him is my duty." Minato wheezed out.
"Then all the better, I'm his mother it's my duty too," Kushina argued back to her husband.
"BASTARD!" the Kyuubi cursed the Yondaime Hokage as his plan to stop the sealing failed and was unable to do anything further as the chains around him tightened again.
"This is the first time I have lost an argument against you." Kushina joked despite the situation. I understand now how serious you are about this."
"Thank you, Kushina," Minato told his wife for understanding him. He took a bit of his blood and started to through some hand seals before pointing his arm out as he was about to release his gathered chakra for the Jutsu he was stopped as Kushina held his hand stopping him.
"Minato don't," Kushina said as her vision was blurring indicating that she did not have much time left.
"Why Kushina? I was going to give the formula to Gerotora asking him to take it to Jiraiya-sensei," he asked out in a bit of confusion.
"I don't think you should do this Minato when you will seal my chakra in him. At the time of the meeting, I will myself give the key to him." Kushina barely managed to explain her husband also clearly hiding her lack of trust towards his sensei.
Minato nodded accepting the solution, doing some hand seals and he put his hands on baby Naruto's belly and Shinigami behind him pulled his knife out of his mouth. "Kushina I'm out of time. I want to put some of my chakra into Naruto as well. It will be a while before we see him, so say what you want to say."
Kushina gazed at her child that would be the last time among the land of the living, tears came to her eyes as she told her child her parting words.
"Naruto, don't be a picky eater just eat a lot so you'll grow up big and strong, and make sure you bath every day and you stay warm too, also don't stay up to lat make sure you get plenty of sleep, don't forget to make friends as well, don't need a tone of them ok, just a few is fine as long as there one's you can really trust and Emm… your mom wasn't very good at this, make sure you study hard and learn your Ninjutsu, always remember some are good at some things but not so good at other's, so even if something doesn't go well don't get depressed ok. When you're at the academy respect your teachers and the upper class."
"Oh this is important, regarding the three prohibitions of a Shinobi, be extra careful of borrowing and lending money, take your pay and put it in a savers account, no alcohol until you're of age, and too much sake is bad for you so practice moderation, and another prohibition is women, remember I am one so I don't know too much about it but keep in mind this world is made of men and women, and at some point, your notice girls and that's normal, just be careful don't fall for the bad ones, just go out there and find someone that is like me. That reminds me speaking of the three prohibitions you should be wary of Jiraiya ok."
"Naruto I am sorry to say, but there will be many hardships ahead just be true to yourself, make sure to have dreams and the confidence to make those dreams come true, oh Naruto there so much so much more, there are so many things I wished I had time to pass on to you, so much more I want to tell you."
Kushina began to cry at the end as she thought of all the things she'll miss out on, seeing her boy's first step, his first word, his first day of school, his girlfriend, and when he finally marries and have children of his own. She'll miss all of this and more tears came.
"I wish I could stay longer, but I love you, Minato I'm sorry I used up your time." Kushina apologized to her husband for taking so long to say goodbye knowing that it would mean less time for him.
"No, it's alright," Minato told her as he moved a bit to look at his son and give him his final words
"Naruto, my advice as your father... Well, I guess it's everything your chatty mother said. Hakke no Fūin Shiki," he whispered. A flash of light illuminated everything as it did both Kushina and Minato gave their son their final goodbyes
"We love you Naruto."
As the last of their life and the white light swallowed their vision, their last sight was of their son being illuminated in a strange silver glow.
