LXD: I own nothing but the idea of the story from an inspiration

Chapter 7

Mei lay awake in her new hospital bed sipping her tea, her mind still thinking about her son and Minato and especially on Kushina. She could not shake the feeling that something was terribly wrong; the red head get looking at the window her eyes hard as stone as she peered out the window into the night.

'Something is off…I do not like it…Naruto…Minato…Kushina…be safe…'

Mei took another sip of her tea; her thoughts still wondering about the chilling atmosphere it was none that she has ever felt before. Her guts told her that something horrible was about to happen and she did not like it one bit at all.

"Be safe Naruto…" She whispered to herself as looked at her reflection from the tea, she noticed that a single tear slid down her cheek falling into her cup disorienting her reflection from the ripple that occurred.

Uchiha Compound

'What an awful feeling…' Sasuke started to cry suddenly as Itachi tried to calm him down, "There, there, Sasuke, your big brothers will protect you."

"That's right little brother Itachi and I won't let anyting bad happen to you. So don't cry…" Jet was hovering over his baby brother smiling kissing his little forehead. Itachi smiled at the two when suddenly a middle age man around his late 40s' came walking up to them.

"There you are I've been looking for you two."

"Uncle Teyaki!" Jet ran up to his uncle hugging him tightly in which the older Uchiha returned the hug.

"Hey kiddo ready to go to the shop to get your scroll?"

"You bet!"

He chuckled as he looked up at the older brother of the two, "We should be gone for at least an hour or two if not more."

"Hmm…"

"Something bothering you Itachi?"

"This atmosphere is…"

"Unusual…I know, it's probably nothing besides a bad omen it'll go away." If the younger Uchiha was unconvinced, he did a good job at masking his face, "I'll be back in an hour or two, come on Jet lets go."

Quickly the raven-haired boy hugged his older brother getting his sandals and left with their uncle to the weapons store. Itachi looked at their retreating backs as they disappeared into the house, 'I got a bad feeling…'

On the streets of Konoha

Kakashi Hatake is a fair-skinned, fit and relatively tall shinobi. He has spiky white hair and dark eyes with the left one having a small scar vertically over it. He wears his forehead protector tilted to the left to cover his Sharingan, and a mask, which obscures the lower half of his face. He is walking with none other than Might Guy his eternal rival.

Guy is a tall and well-built young man with high cheekbones, thick eyebrows and black hair cut in a bowl style. He also wears a green jumpsuit, orange striped leg warmers His forehead protector, is on a red cloth and is worn around his waist, like a belt. He wears bandages wrapped around his hand and a brown scarf tied around his neck. His hair also had the shape of his signature bowl-style though a bit longer.

Kakashi had his usual expression of boredom when Guy challenged him to fight or he will do something pathetic like 500 laps around the leaf on his hands or do 1000 sits up without taking a break.

"Guy not today I am really not looking for another hand-to-hand challenge, couldn't we do rock, paper, scissor or something today?"

"WHAT! You call yourself my rival and doing that game again! No way Kakashi I want more hot-blooded contest and I know that I will beat you this time!"

Kakashi sweat dropped as he looked at his 'Eternal Rival' determination as he did usual pose, which was usually a goofy grin with a shine to his teeth flashing and a thumbs up.

"…" Suddenly the air got a little heavier than it was, "Hey Guy do you sense something off in the atmosphere." In way, he kind of glad that the chilling atmosphere was there because he didn't know how much longer he had to put up with Guys' nonsense.

Both Guys eyes turned white with fury as he scolded his rival, "Why do you always act like, you know we're only young once!" Kakashi once again sweat dropped more sweat, "So let's do what is youthful and have our hot-blooded contest!"

"I think I'll pass…"

Currently in the office tower

'Paperwork…Why must there be paper work to fill out…wait a minute…'

The Sandaime was doing the evil that was known to all Kages the deadly paperwork…he sat at the desk smoking his pipe when suddenly he felt that presence once again in the still night of Konoha. He looked up from the pile of sheet out into the night of Konoha.

'It couldn't be…'

He cursed under his breath as he left the office in a hurry.

With the masked man

The masked man appeared from his time-space Jutsu as looked around in a neighborhood.

"Perfect…" he made a few hand signs, "Tekunikku o shōkan!"

The nine tails has appeared in cloud of smoke as it roared into the night sky of a sleepy leaf village.

"Let the destruction begin…" He scanned the area, "Go nine tails, attack the village!"

And Now

The fox continued on its rampage of destruction, many shinobi that were 100 hundred feet away from the fox saw their home being destroyed by it loud roar as it continued to level the village to the ground.

One ninja in particular was wearing a green vest with blue pants had sweat pouring down his face, he stood in fear as he saw the destruction of his village taking place, "At this rate the village will be…"

"Don't give up so quickly!" A voice called out from behind him, they all turned to see that the Sandaime was behind them with at least four AUNBU walking towards them with a look of determination in his old wrinkled face.

"Lord Sandaime!"

The bowed as he adjusted his wrist protector walking up to his fellow Leaf Ninjas ready to take on the fox, "We can't just walk away from this threat, no matter how powerful the force might be! Remember we got a village to protect along with its citizens!"

"But…but…but…"

"No buts…let's go and drive this thing out of our beloved home and summon every force that we can that is available on the double!"

"YES SIR!"

They dispersed as they all went to take on the nine-tails.

The third landed on a rooftop as he trilled his Adamantine Staff master over his head and across his body, he looked at the nine tails as it once again roared into the fiery night. Smoke was visible under the pale moonlight it looked like it could be seen for miles.

"We won't let him jeopardize the village any longer, let drive this thing out of the village, now!"

The Kyūbi looked at where his opponent was and smashed it to bits as the third jumped out of its way just in the nick of time. The Sandaime jumped from one building to the next as he made a few hand signs as he flew in midair aiming his attack at the fox, "Kasai sutairu: Hi no doragon no honō no dangan!"

Though they were at other positions other ninjas followed suit as they too performed the fire bullet technique. It was a direct hit but not enough to slow it down, it roared in annoyance as it began swiping at the third and fellow ninja at the water top.

"Look out!"

They dodge it.

"Lord Sandaime use me to get close to the nine tails!"

The elder man nodded as he did so, the Sandaime use his fellow ninja as a stepping-stone as he got at least five feet in front of the fox. Readying his Adamantine Staff he struck the nine tails in the face causing the fox to recoil.

It tried to lunge with its claw at the Sandaime, unfortunately for it, the fox was met with another blow to the face, and then head as the third swung his staff hard. Growling it roared trying to cause the third to fly back in a building but he disappeared in a puff of smoke next to an AUNBU on another roof.

"The Nine Tails fox appeared out of nowhere attacking the village!"

"I know, start evacuating the remaining citizens in the area and move them to a safer location!"

"Yes sir!"

He had a moment to think as the AUNBU left him alone, 'Did Kushina seal fail? Were all the guards at the safe house not enough?'

Meanwhile at the hospital outside of the attack

Mei was sleeping soundly in bed despite the heaviness of the air. The nurses came back to check on her every three hours to check her blood pressure to make sure it wasn't rising. Despite the supposed earthquake that they felt, they dismissed it entirely.

It was not until they saw AUNBU posted outside the hospital doors that they were informed that the fox was attacking the village. Thankfully, many people including sick patients were relieved to hear that this hospital was far away from the attack so it would not be able to cause any harm.

Apparently, they were wrong because inside Mei's recovering room stood the hooded figure looking down on her as she slept. He watched her shift uncomfortably in her hospital bed, it was a few moments but she opened her eyes only to be met with a yellow swirl mask facing her.

She quickly tried to grab the nurse button to sound the alarm but he quick grabbing her wrist and then her other holding both her wrist in a tight grip. Opening her mouth to scream was a good idea he clamped his left hand over mouth causing it to come out muffled.

Then in sinister tone he said, "Scream and I will make sure that you will never see your son Naruto again."

Hot tears formed in her green eyes, as she looked glared angrily at her kidnapper. He let go of her mouth, she held her glare as she spoke menacingly.

"What do you want from me? I'm only a trying to recover from giving birth!"

"I have a use for against Minato…"

She already knew where this was going, "I won't let you hurt Minato, and you're probably the reason why the nine tailed Fox is attacking the village!"

"Your smarter than I give credit for…no wonder Minato wanted you in bed you were probably good too." She growled at him as he took out a long strip of rope tying her wrist together, "However I'm afraid you don't have a choice but to help me and I'll make sure to mark the memory of Minato being into your mind for the rest of your life…"

Before she had a chance to speak or struggle against her restraints, they were gone just as he came. The nurse came in with a tray of desserts, "Okay Ms. Terumi are you awa-what the!"

She quickly placed the tray down on the table and looking frantically around the room for the missing red head Kirigakure kunoichi.

LXD: Well sorry for the wait, but been busy with College life and yes people I also have a life to so I cannot always be writing fanfic. Anyhow, since the story is running a bit slower than I have anticipated I am thinking of doing a monthly update until the story starts to pick the pace. Anyway, leave a review, comments, opinions I would like to hear on how the story is progressing thus far. Till the next chapter
