Minato was glad that Kushina had given birth without a hitch despite the baby being born prematurely. Minato sat with his new son in his arms. The tiny, wrinkled baby had stopped crying after a while and now he was silent and sleeping, peacefully. The small amount of fine strands of hair on the top of the baby's head was bright red like Kushina's. He was as perfect as Naruto had been when she was born.

Minato was pretty sure that Naruto was completely traumatised. She had been the one with Kushina when her water had broken and she had also been in the room during the birth and now Naruto just sat in a chair across the room from Minato, face devoid of emotion as she stared at the space in front of her. Yep, she's definitely traumatised, Minato thought. Maybe he should be more worried about his daughter but he couldn't stop thinking of his son. The small child started to cry and Minato didn't know what to do so he handed the baby to Naruto.

Naruto held her brother gingerly in her arms, feeling that if she was too rough he would break. He had been crying in Minato's arms but now he was back to his silent self. The pain she had to watch her mother go through to bring this baby into the world was forever scarred in her memory. She ran her finger along his cheek and then under his chin. Unfortunately, as she did so, her father saw her wrist.

"Naruto, what are the cuts on your wrists?" He asked, taking one of Naruto's wrists into his hand.

"Nothing." She said. She tugged her wrist away and handed the baby back to her father before leaving the room. Minato saw the bruises that covered Naruto's stomach, back and thighs as she got up and walked from the room. He wanted to ask Naruto questions about her injuries but he didn't want to wake the baby that had fallen asleep so quickly in his daughter's arms.

Minato wondered about what Kushina would like to name her son. He had named Naruto so he thought it right that Kushina name this child. He walked across the room with the baby in his arms, just admiring his second child.

Naruto had to do something about her scars and bruises before her dad got a chance to ask her about it again so she made her way to Sakura's place. Sakura answered the door and Naruto asked her to help her.

"I guess I could heal the bruises but the cuts might leave scars." Sakura said.

"Just please do what you can." Naruto said, urgently. Sakura nodded and took Naruto into her room where she had Naruto lie down on her bed. There, Sakura placed her hands over Naruto's stomach and began the healing process.

Naruto's made faces as the pain of healing set in. But the pain was worth not making her parents worry. After ten or so minutes, Sakura declared that the healing was over. Naruto sat up and looked at her stomach and wrists. There was no bruising on her stomach and you could hardly see the scars on her wrists. She thanked Sakura profusely and then left Sakura's house. Naruto went back home where she found her dad still holding her little brother while he sat on the kitchen counter. She figured her mother must be asleep so she went and joined her father.

"Sorry for running out on you earlier." Naruto said, sliding onto the counter next to her father.

"Naruto, you know I worry about you and seeing those bruises and cuts made my worry double. I care for you, Naruto, which is why I am going to ask you what happened?" Minato asked as he handed Naruto her little brother.

Naruto took the baby and rocked him slowly back and forth in her arms. "It was nothing, dad." Naruto said.

"Naruto please tell me. I only have concerns for you." Minato said, putting his arm around his daughter's shoulders.

"Dad, your just gonna have to trust me on this one. I would tell you if it was something serious." Now Naruto knew that wasn't true because the dreams were serious business.

"I don't believe you." Minato said.

"Well, then I guess you will have to learn to because I'm not sharing." Naruto said.

Minato sighed, realising that he was going nowhere and just left it. The two skilled ninja just sat with each other in the kitchen for ages with the baby that had not yet been named, content in each other's company.

That night, Naruto had another dream.

"Do not run, child. Not yet. I must speak with you." Kazar said. Naruto had been about to run away as was routine but his words stopped her.

"What?" She asked, giving her uncle a death stare. Kazar laughed, "Well, you're not very welcoming are you?"

"Shut up and get to the point, Kazar." Naruto said, impatient.

Kazar only laughed, "Not very tolerant either, I see. Well, anyways, I see you have a new baby brother. Now, you love him, yes?" Kazar asked.

"Duh, he's my brother." Naruto said.

"Well, Minato is my brother and I don't love him." Kazar shrugged. "But anyway, I haven't attacked the Leaf Village in a while and I am planning to do so soon and if I can, I will kidnap your brother."

"You will do no such thing!" Naruto yelled.

"Oh, I will. But there is a way to stop me from attacking." Kazar said.

"I'm listening." Naruto said, hating where this conversation was going.

"You meet Ichirou at the border tomorrow night at 11 PM sharp and he will bring you to me. You will obey me and do my bidding and I will never attack the village and your family will be safe." Kazar said.

Naruto thought seriously about this. If she didn't go she would be endangering her village and her brother who hadn't even opened his eyes yet. But if she went she had no idea what would happen. She would be illegally crossing the border and that meant she would become an S-ranked criminal. She would leave behind her friends, her family and Sasuke. But she knew that she would become a criminal if it meant that the ones she love were safe.

"Fine, I'll be there."
