Ryo's pov:
I sat quietly in the Uchiha compound, waiting with Itachi as we heard explosions outside. I know that Itachi was 2 years younger than me, but he was like my little brother. I got up from the corner where we were ordered to sit in by Itachi's parents, and ran to the window. I looked out and saw the demon fox that has been terrorizing the village for the past couple of days. I scolded, I couldn't believe that the older shinobi wouldn't let me fight! I was as good as most of them, and stronger than some. So why was I sitting around the Uchiha compound doing nothing.
Itachi, noticing my scowl came over. "Ryo, what's wrong?" I pulled him away from the window.

I know Itachi was technically a shinobi, and he should have the right to know whats happening, but he was 7. And I know that he has witnessed worse in the shinobi war. But I could at least spare him the image of seeing a demon fox destroying an entire village. I quickly looked out the window again, seeing the nine-tailed fox closer than it was before.

I flinched. "Itachi, go get Sasuke, we're leaving." I said coldly.

Probably noticing the seriousness in my usually goofy voice, he got up and ran to get him. He returned shortly after carrying his brother. I handed him a black cloak, and told him to put him on. I put on a cloak of my own and opened the door. Me, now carrying Sasuke, and Itachi ran out of the house. We jumped on the rooftops and got a safe distance away. I looked back at the demon, just seeing it cruch the house we were in not to long ago. Itachi gasped and looked at me.

"You knew it was coming, how?" He said.

I looked him in the eye and calmly said "When I went to the window, he was closer than before, just to be safe, I thought we should get out of there." I looked up and saw a shinobi call a retreat. I looked at Itachi, telling him it was time to go.

We raced through the streets of konoha, perfectly memorized after years of pranking, heading toward the shinobi retreat point. Once we reached the area we both looked around, looking for our parents. We spotted Itachi's parents first. We headed over there, mainly to tell them we were okay.

"Mom, dad!" Itachi called. They looked over and I swear they had a heart attack. They went from looking shocked to angry in 3 seconds though. His mom screamed at us first:

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE! Not only are we in the middle of a battle at 2 o'clock, but we told you to stay at the house!" She said.

Me, being the calm idiotic one replied "We would love to go back to your house, but sadly its been reduced to a piled of rubble. Thankfully we got out before the demon got there." This calmed them down, we didn't leave for no reason, we left because the demon was moving closer. I quick asked before they could get away "Do you know where my parents are?"

Itachi's parents looked at me sadly. I gulped hoping they weren't dead. But his mother just said. "Your mother went into labor during the battle, Minato said he was bring her somewhere safe." I nodded my head in thanks, already knowing where my father was talking about. I handed Sasuke to Itachi and told him to stay here. After a few protests, he agreed and sat down with his brother.

I ran off looking for the place my dad always talked about when he said, I'm going to my safe place. You see my father was always under stress being the hokage and all, he would sometimes just walk out of his office, saying he was going to there. I think I was looking around for 10 minutes, before I found it. Ran in to find flights of stairs leading down. I qiuckly ran down and found myself in a rather large room. I heard my mom scream and I ran toward her.

I found her sitting in the middle of the room, giving birth to my baby... Sibling, I didn't know yet if it was a boy or a girl. I ran up behind my dad, he was telling her to keep going, and not to give up. He looked behind me, probably sensimg a new chakra around and jumped.

"RYO! Weren't you with the Uchiha's?" He asked.

I quickly explained what had recently happened. My dad nodded his head and returned all of this attention back to my mom. After what seemed like decades we heard the cried of a baby. I looked about to see my dad holding a baby boy. He quickly washed him and returned him to my mothers arms. I looked at the bundle in her arms and smiled, so I was officially an older brother. I was snapped of of the fantasy of how many pranks I could pull around here, now that I had backup when my dad asked.

"What do you want to name him?" He whispered. He seemed to be trying to keep his voice down, seeing as the baby boy was happily sleeping.

"Naruto," my mother replied. "His name is naruto." She suddenly had a coughing fit. As my dad checked to make sure she was okay, I looked at my new baby brother... Naruto, eh.

My dad looked at me, seeming to almost confirm I knew the name. I looked at him confused and was about to ask what was going on when a jonin came in saying the demon was getting closer, and they were running out of ideas to hold it back.

My dad, reacted as though he excepted this, I looked at me mother's deathly pale face. I grew nervous, what was going on. My father jumped up and looked at the jonin and said. "Keep Ryo out of the room at all costs." And stared doing some hands signs at a lightning fast past. I felt the jonin grab me and run out of the room, although I saw the ending afters of the justu he was doing. The grim reaper, a sealing justu that can seal anything away if you have a vessel, but it ends up killing the caster, as a price.

I screamed realizing what my dad wanted to do. "What are you doing! Dad! STOP!" I yelled, tears started blurring my vision realizing I was about to lose my dad, and my mom wasn't looking good either. As the jonin was about to shut the doors behind us, I saw my dad smile and said. "It's okay Ryo. Take care of Naruto okay, protect the leaf while your at it." He gave me his signature grin and yelled "SEALING JUSTU!" As the doors to the room closed, shutting me out.

3rd persons pov:
As Minato finished the sealing justus he looked at his dying wife and newborn son. He smiled as he kneeled by this wife, his breathing already becoming ragged.

"Kushina, its done... I've seal the demon in naruto. *coughcough*. Anything you want to say?*coughcough*" Minato rasped.

"I wish, I... I could had more time with you Naruto. Be a good boy, and try... Try not to annoy Ryo too much... Dont cause too much trouble and become a great... A great shinobi one day" Kushina looked at her husband, telling him to say something.

Minato coughed. "Pretty much what your mother said Naruto. Ryo will tell you about us, how beautiful your mother was... And how stupid your dad was *coughcough*... Good-luck Naruto. Tell Ryo its okay to feel sad, a great shinobi know that right times to show feelings..."

Minato looked at his wife, they both knew they were nearing their last breaths. Minato kneeled by his wife. They gave each their good-bye kisses. As the final breath was nearing Minato said. "See you in the next world my dear."

And as they drew their final breaths they both said. "I love you." As their visions darkened and they sank into nothingness.

The jonin, knowing the jutsu was over let Ryo back into the room. He ran toward his parents, knowing he was too late.

"Mom! Dad! Please don't leave me, please come back!" Ryo cried and sank to his knees. He shed 4 tears before clamming up. Because he knew a shinobi should not show emotion.

Ryo sat in silence as the jonin went to get the other shinobi, telling them of the news the demon being gone and the deaths of Minato and Kushina.

Something in Ryo broke that day. Sure he still had the prankster personality. He was mentally stable. But no matter who it is. A nine year old should not have to attend his parents funeral.
