Hello my readers! I feel like a hypocrite, a huge promise breaking hypocrite! Grrr!!! When I posted my last chapter I got some advice about shaping the character's personality, and I took it to heart.
List of reason why the 3rd and 4th chapter of Serenity isn't posted yet:
1) Percussion Ensemble Contests 3-10 pm Fri & 9am-Midnight Sat
2) Homework
3) Haven't had any ideas on the next chapter (the plot of the story is done just not how I'm going to get to the end)
4) Had no idea how to shape the characters' personality
5) Trying to fix my POV problem
Ok enough excuses from me! From here on out I will not make promises about not updating my stories at a certain date. I realize that it was a mistake making that promise to you readers! I try to get a chapter out a week, but that sometimes doesn't work. So to make up for my broken promise I'm updating today! I hope you except my apology my readers!! I actually spent every moment in school a could get writing my ideas for the next chapters in my ipod!
What will happen to Naruto? Will Kushina kick Minato's ass? (eventually duh!) Will Tsunade get to him first? How funny will it be? When will he wake up? All this and more in the chapter of Serenity!!!!
I actually tried to make this chapter just an Author's Note but fanfiction wouldn't let me post it sssoooo yep….
So anyways my lovelies here is the new chapter of Serenity!

Chapter 3
(3rd person POV)
Tsunade burst through the entrance of the hospital. Where the hell is everyone?!! She ran down the hallway of the 1st section of emergency rooms, glancing into each one, getting more and more frustrated when she couldn't find a nurse on duty. Tsunade slowed to a walk and listened around. She could faintly hear voices, Probably from the other wing. Tsunade started towards the sound, blonde hair flying behind her shoulders.
Soon Tsunade reached a very loud and crowded room in the 2nd section of emergency wing of the hospital. Five nurses were crowded around a squirming Kushina, trying to strap her flailing arms to the rails on the bed. If it weren't such a serious situation Tsunade would have been on the floor dying of laughter.
"What's going on here?!" she yelled.
Suddenly Shizune burst through the door behind Tsunade, holding a syringe filled with a purple-ish colored liquid. "Shizune what's the situation here?" she asked looking wearily at the syringe.
Shizune nodded and quickly replied, "Kushina was brought in here by Jiraiya less than 10 minutes ago. She was unconscious until we placed her into this room. She woke up and started mumbling something about her baby and started to leave, but as you can see it is not very successful. It is presumed that Kushina is having mild hallucinations and is suffering from extreme stress and exhaustion. I am going to sedate her again, My Lady."
"Do it. Now." Tsunade ordered. Shizune leapt forward and, with much difficulty, injected the liquid into Kushina's arm. Kushina's squirming and resisting slowed and stopped; the nurses immediately breathed a sighs of relief.
Tsunade gathered green chakra into her hands and placed them onto Kushina's swollen stomach. She closed her eyes in concentration and checked the pregnant woman's vital signs and also that of her baby's. Tsunade's eyes flew open and she quickly turned to Shizune and nodded. Shizune understood and practically flew out of the room, nearly running into a very worried Jiraiya. "Jiraiya if you want to be useful go get that baka student of yours. Now!" Tsunade yelled, glaring at the worried man.
He barely had time to even think, when Shizune ran past him towards Tsunade, holding an empty syringe in her hand. Without even looking back, Jiraiya sprinted out of the room Tsunade grabbed it out of her assistant's hands and plunged it into the top of Kushina's mountain of a stomach, her hands still green with chakra. She drew the bottom of the syringe back, a bloodily liquid quickly filled the tube. Once it was filled to the top, Shizune handed Tsunade another, and this continued twice more until Kushina unconsciously relaxed. That should stop the bleeding for now.
Tsunade wiped her now sweat covered brow and let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. She turned towards each of the five nurses who were still in the room. "Kushina will wake up soon, secure her arms to the rails, and make sure their good and tight. Change her into some gowns, and change her sheets. I also want painkillers to be brought here for when she wakes up. And last but not least get me a glass of water, please." The five nurses nodded each splitting off to do the jobs Tsunade asked them to do.
Thank Kami Kushina, many things could have gone wrong, but you seem to avoid misfortune don't you?
Meanwhile, back at the home of the Hokage…
Where am I? Minato silently asked himself. He opened his eyes groggily, looking around. Minato quickly recognized where he was. He was lying on the floor, blood pulsed through his head in time with his racing heart beat. Why am I on the ground…in the hallway no less? Minato slowly sat up dizzily, rubbing the back of his head.
"Kushina? Why am I in the hallway?" he called out, slowly rising to his feet. A confused look came upon Minato's face when the only reply to his question was silence. "Kushina…?" He slowly walked into the doorway of his and Kushina's bedroom, looking around. Seeing the empty bed caused a flurry of questions to flood through Minato's confused mind.
How long have I been laying there? Where's Kushina…? Maybe she went to see Mikoto? Hold on…what time is it? Minato glanced at the clock, 4:37 AM. Where could she have gone to?
He took a step into the bedroom and was assaulted by the smell of blood. Minato's eyes widened and rushed into the room. He came to the bed, lifting the blankets, and finding a horrorifying site. Blood pooled in the same spot Kushina slept. Minato's breathing became shallow, his eyes became wide, and soon he was hyperventilating. Is she hurt? Where is she?! The baby…! Kami, Kami, Kami! Damn it! Minato quickly realized that his emotions were unhinging with every thought. Breathe…breathe…calm down.
His racing heart slowed and his breathing became even as Minato calmed his panicked thoughts. He stealthily looked around, opening his senses to any intruders that could be in the house. Minato faintly heard a strong breeze scraping through the home. Did Kushina leave a window open? He walked into the kitchen, and upon seeing the broken window crouched, shuriken in hand. Suddenly he heard clothing blowing in the wind. Minato looked up and jumped, startled from seeing Jiraiya standing in front of him.
"Sensei…? Sensei! Where is she?! Where's Kushina?!" Minato asked uneasily, his voice growing louder with each word. "Shut up and follow me." Jiraiya said with a stern voice, not looking at Minato. It made Minato even more uneasy, "Where are we going Sensei?!"
"I said shut up and follow me!" Jiraiya said as if talking to an annoying child, while finally looking at Minato. The look sent chills running up and down his spine. Jiraiya's eyes held accusation and anger, it was so serious it shut Minato up quicker than you could blink.
Jiraiya turned away and leapt through the broken window. Why did he have blood on his clothes? Minato silently asked, quickly following his sensei without resistance.
Earlier, Jiraiya had tried to wash Kushina's blood from his clothing, but it turned out unsuccessful, only making it worse. He had tried to the best of his abilities to hide it but it couldn't get past the 4th Hokage. Minato had noticed as soon as he laid eyes on Jiraiya.
Kushina, where are you? Whoever did harm to you will regret the day they were ever born. Minato thought to himself. He was so deep in thought he didn't realize his sensei had stopped. Right in front of the Emergency Room entrance of Konoha Hospital.
Minato's eyes widened and he sprinted inside…
