Chapter 9

"Go nine tails destroy your target!" Mei eyes widen in fear as it began to charge its bomb, Minato gritted his teeth as he dashed for the helpless kunoichi. When it finally finished it, the fox chucked the deadly energy ball towards a tearing Mei. 'Goodbye Minato, take care of Naruto for me…' She closed her eyes waiting for her death to come as she prayed making peace with herself, seeing her life flash before her within the moment she thought she will never see her beloved son again, 'Naruto…I'm sorry…' "MEI!"

The explosion shook the whole area as the deadly biju bomb disintegrated its supposed targets; the masked man stood motionless processing what he had just witnessed.

At first his chuckles were low not even audible to the human ear even if they were in a quiet room but soon enough he started to laugh manically.

"….Oh the irony of it all…instead of killing one annoying pest I killed two with one stone." He continued to laugh, "Now that those two are out of the picture I can finally destroy the leaf."

Without any warning at all, as he took his two steps, a kunai was sent soaring through the air at unimaginable speed through the smoke of the area in where Minato and his supposed mother of his son had died.

The whistle of the thrown kunai surprised 'Madara' as he let it pass through him harmlessly before solidifying again, which was a costly mistake.

"Rasengan!"

"What…GHAGH!"

The impact of the technique caused him to pin by the awesome strength it had.

'Damn it, he teleported right above me with that damn kunai, he just threw. However the bigger question is how he survived the explosion!'

His thoughts were interrupted when the Yondaime spoke, "That was the Flying Thunder God Technique level two, if you're wondering."

At the same time, Minato secretly placed a seal on the masked man back as he jumped away from him. They stood away from each other staring at each other from head to toe, Madara left arm was bleeding and he knew it to that it would be useless now to restrain the Yondaime.

"How?"

"Simple Shadow Clone Jutsu…" Madara growled, "While you were focused on destroying the mother of my child Naruto, I made a quick shadow clone to standby while the original which you see before you went after Mei. I managed to reach her pulling her safety leaving behind the bounds that entrapped her behind."

Madara looked over his shoulder seeing a trembling Mei had removed her gag and the Minato clone finished untying her lower half before disappearing in cloud of smoke.

"It appears I underestimated you Yondaime Hokage." If looks can kill then the aura that the masked man was radiating off was deadly as he glared at the blonde-haired man, "But I still have an ace up my sleeve!"

"I don't think so!" He flashed right in Madara stomach impaling his kunai left in his hand tearing it off.

'GHK! That damn blonde must have put that damn mark on me somewhere on my body!'

Markings soon appeared over his body he knew what Minato wanted to do, "You are using a contract seal, eh?! What are you going to do Minato, separate me from the nine tails?"

"No, that was already done."

"What!"

Minato was right the sharingan that was in the Kyūbi eyes were was disappearing transforming itself back to its cat like diamond form once again. It looked around the area; it looked below near its sharp claw paws where the two figures stood. It soon realized who these two men were, as it growled angrily before giving a mighty roar.

Meanwhile in the Village Hidden in the Leaves the destruction was devastating; homes left in rubble and shops that once held precious memories to the villagers were all gone. Many shinobi were wounded others were in critical condition; ash was in the atmosphere as well in the streets. Medical-nin were working tirelessly as they attended the dead and the wounded.

Since so many hospitals were filled up to maximum capacity that the area around them had to be the base of much operation. The retired Sandaime looked around the area, to his very core he felt like a failure to protect his people but still they managed to drive the fox out of the village before more causalities can be counted up.

The Sandaime looked at the destruction of his beloved home he set down his Adamantine Staff down on its hilt. He sighed in exhaustion, 'Well the nine tails disappeared to its master and we still have no idea where that hooded figure has taken off too.' The Sandaime thoughts were given him a major headache, 'Not only did the nine tails disappeared to its master but the hooded figured escaped leaving no traces of track that we can use to find him.'

The thirds thoughts were interrupted when an AUNBU wearing a wolf masks appeared before him kneeling, "Sir we managed to get every children and young adults, Genin and non and as well as those who are at Chūnin level to a safe location in the deepest part of the forest."

"Good, tell Basho Yūhi to hold the children where they are until we can actually confirm that the nine-tails is actually gone for good."

"Yes sir…"

He left leaving the Sandaime to his thoughts

"What do you mean?!" That angry tone came from a very angry looking young Kurenai. With her fellow shinobi and children alike, they were restricted by order of the third to be moved to safer location away from the village and the fox.

"The third does not want you kids getting in harm's way especially the newer generation of shinobi. Besides, it not like we are fighting another village for starters, and not to mention we're facing the Nine tailed fox here." Basho Yūhi the father of Kurenai, he has black hair and very distinctive, ringed, red eyes. He also wears the standard Konoha shinobi outfit with what appeared to be slightly longer sleeves than usual, shinobi sandals, his forehead protector, which he wore like a bandanna, and a flak jacket. He also carried a sword strapped vertically over his right shoulder. "And this young lady is something should not be risking your life for."

Kurenai growled at her father. She was a capable shinobi especially for someone her age, "That's a load of bullsh*t and you know it father!"

A hand touched her shoulders as she turned her head to the side to see a laidback looking Asuma staring at her sternly, "Relax yourself Kurenai, not one of us likes the situation either."

"Kurenai!" The ravened young girl looked into the mirror of her father's eyes, "You are a shinobi as well as woman, and they don't have a long life. If nothing else, survive long enough to give me grandchildren to pass the will of the fire unto them."

The Yondaime had already teleported himself, Mei and the nine tails away from the area where he fought the masked man into the area where his wife was sleeping with Naruto and Akiko. To his dismay though, the Kyūbi had already charged another biju bomb trying destroy him and the kunoichi from Kirigakure.

The bomb however destroyed the safe house while Minato using shadow clones saved his wife, the mother of his son and his daughter, "I've got to put up a barrier!"

Mei took Naruto from the Minato clones arms hugging her son very tightly as she fell to her knees weeping rocking back and forth. Minato looked at the two embracing his two girls not wanting to let them go.

Kushina was panting hard as can be, "I-I'm almost drained…"

"Please Kushina don't strain yourself any further or you'll kill yourself."

The red haired Uzumaki gave a weak smile, and then suddenly chains erupted from her back ensnaring the nine tails within it.

Both Naruto and Akiko awoken from the ground that shook before them, they started to cry. Mei rocked Naruto back to sleep as Akiko continued to cry, "Sorry…A-akiko…di-didn't mean to wake you…"

The Uzumaki body started to tremble uncontrollably, "Minato I'll drag the nine tail…back…and die with it inside me…"

Mei got up from her knees and putting her right hand on her friends shoulder kneeling down to her level looking straight into the tired kunoichi eyes, "Listen to me Kushina, whatever happened in the past is in the past. You don't have to do this suicidal plan of yours, do you hear! You don't!"

"Kushina…"

Stubborn as she was, Kushina mustered some strength grabbing hold of the Kirigakure kunoichi shoulders, "Mei…whatever happens…happens…I'm glad that I met you…" She wrapped her tired arms around a watery speechless Mei

She then looked at Minato, "Thank you for everything, Minato-kun…"

A small gasp escape from his throat, as tears threaten to fall, "Kushina…you…you made me your husband despite what I did…you made me into the Fourth Hokage…you're the mother of my daughter… and I…just…"

"Don't look sad Minato…for once I'm happy that the whole…family is here…happy that I got two people who love me as I l-love them…happy that it's our…children's birthday…despite the circumstance…"

Tears were now flowing down Mei and Minato eyes as they saw the courage that came from Kushina. Mei saw that this woman was not afraid to die of what she believed or what she cared for but still they knew each other enough, Kushina was like her little sister that she never had.

A life without her would not be the same…

"If I had any regrets; it would be that I won't be able to see our daughter Akiko grow up to be a fine young woman…"

Wiping the tears from his eyes Minato said, "You don't have to take this burden on yourself we can use whatever chakra we have left to see both Naruto and Akiko one last time."

"Huh?"

"What are…you saying…Minato?" Mei was definitely growing uneasy now with the tone that radiated off Minato.

"I'll seal the last of your chakra with Akiko and Naruto with an eight trigrams seal." He looked sternly in both women eyes, "Mei please give me Naruto…"

Mei trembled as more tears began to pour shaking her head 'no' slowly, "If you are going use what I think you are going to use, then the answer is no Minato."

"Mei, we don't have a lot of option left, it's that or destruction…which do you prefer?"

Mei shook her head 'no' clinging to Naruto for dear life, Kushina put two-and-two together, "But the user will…"

"I know that but what am I supposed to do, I have no other options left…besides I'll only be able to seal half the foxes chakra into Naruto while the other half is going into Akiko." Both women paled ghostly white more Mei than Kushina, "I cannot let the fox be revived without a Jinchuurki the balance will be destroyed but with that jutsu I can permanently seal half into Akiko and the other into Naruto to balance it out."

"YOU WILL NOT PUT THAT THING!" She points to the fox, "INSIDE OF MY SON YOU HEAR MINATO NAMKIAGE!"

"I'm sorry Mei…"

"What…"

Minato flashed behind her, "I hope that maybe someday you'll find it in your heart to forgive me for what I'm going to do…"

Before Mei had a chance to speak she felt a sharp pain to the side of her neck. She fell forward to the ground still clinging onto her son; she did not feel the impact though as Minato caught her before she landed.

The last imagine that Mei could see before she gave into the darkness of unconsciousness was Minato smile as he held Naruto in one arm and Akiko in the other. Only one question was her mind before total blackness consumed her…

'Minato why?'
