Chapter 4
Three Years Pass.
As usual I open the front door and Guy is waiting for me. "Morning Guy." I say, shutting the door behind me. Guy jumps to his feet. "Good morning Matsu-chan!" He replies with a salute. "D-did you hear? Mikoto finally had her baby!" Guy announces. "She did! Well? Fill me in!" I say. "Well, it's a boy and she called him Sasuke. After the third's father." Guy explains. "Aw we must go see her, oh wait! What about Kushina? She's due soon isn't she?" I ask. "Yes, I believe she is." Guy replies. "Then what're we waiting for?" I say, grabbing his arm. "Lets go."
We see Kushina and Minato leaving the village, as well as a few other people. "Kushina-san!" I call, stopping her. "Where're you going?" I ask. "Heh, just out for a little walk, don't mind it." She replies. "But aren't you due-" "Yes, Matsu. She is." Minato says, in that 'drop it' tone. "Sorry Minato-sama." I say. "Well, we'll be back soon anyway. So don't worry about it." Kushina says. "Oh alright." I sigh. "Stay safe." I say. They nod and continue on their way.
"Where do you think they're going?" Guy asks. "I don't know." I reply.
So hours passed. "No, I'll pay this time." Guy insists. "But you paid last time." I argue. "Allow me to pay again." Guy says, giving me a thumbs up. "Oh fine." I sigh in defeat. So Guy pays for our lunch and we leave the restaurant. I stop.
"What is it Matsu?" Guy asks. "Just now.. What is this feeling?" I ask. A sudden eerie feeling waves across Konoha. It was quiet. "I think I can sense it too.. Something bad is coming." Guy says, as we both frantically look around. "Come on, lets go-"
*POOF*
We stare in shock. "I-I-IT'S THE KYUUBI!" I shout. "WHAT THE HELL IS IT DOING IN THE VILLAGE!" Guy shouts. *RRROOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR*
"Matsu get back! I'll protect you!" Guy says. "NO! Don't go near it!" I say. "Matsu, I'll protect you!" Guy repeats.
"GUY! MATSU! GET TO THE EVACUATION CENTER NOW!" Hiruzen shouts. "But third! We mu-" "No! This is something you chuunin cannot handle! Do as I say!" Hiruzen cuts me off, pointing to the buildings on the cliff-face.
We decide not to go against his orders and rush there, where we find all of us Chuunin lined up. We quickly join them. I notice Kurenai's father up the front.
"This is something you lot must not go concerning about. So please stay here an do not come out." He says.
"B-but father! No!" Kurenai whines. "Kurenai, just listen to him." Kakashi gushes. "Kakashi, don't be so harsh." Guy growls. "Knock it off the lot of ya." Kurenai's father growls. Kakashi folds his arms and 'hmphs'.
"Stay here. I mean it. Kurenai, you're such a smart girl, please don't do something as foolish as leaving here." Kurenai's father grumbles. Kurenai sobs on Asuma's shoulder.
"But why can't we take down the Kyuubi? We participated in war!" I complain. "Because! This is worse than war!" Kurenai's father snaps. He and the other Jonin disappear.
I watch out the small windows as the Kyuubi rains destruction out there, they have managed to get it out of the village though. Guy comes up behind me. "Matsu, are you alright?" He asks. "My mom's out there." I say.
As time passes I begin shaking, what if my mother is... Guy puts me in an embrace and I rest my head in his shoulder, trying not to cry. "I believe she'll come back alive, just have faith in her." Guy says. "Thanks Guy." I reply, staring out the window over his shoulder. "H-hey! Look! It's going down!" I say, noticing it trembling. Everyone rushes to the windows.
"It's disappearing!" "Hooray!" "We're saved!"
I sigh of relief. Guy hugs me tighter. "I knew they'd do it." He says. I raise my arms and wrap them around his neck and stoke his incredibly soft hair.
We all rush out to meet up with the survivors. Hiruzen looked rather depressed. Medical nins scattered everywhere taking the injured to the hospital. "Third! Where's Minato-sama and Kushina-san!" I ask. "They're.." He seemed too distracted to respond, he was looking over to some ANBU who were running towards him, one of them was carrying something.
"Lord Hokage!" They shout, approaching us. I figured out what he was holding.. A baby. "Where'd that baby come from?" I ask. "They've sealed it inside of him." Says the ANBU, pointing to an unusual pattern on the baby's stomach. "I feared this would happen." Hiruzen sighs. "Did they have a name for him?" Hiruzen asks. "I believe they called him Naruto.. Uzumaki Naruto." The ANBU replies. "Uzumaki? So they don't want anyone to know about his relation to Minato.. I understand." Hiruzen says. I wave my arms around. "Hello? What's going on!" I ask.
"Matsu? What're you doing here?" Hiruzen asks. "Matsu, do not speak a word of this to anyone." He says.
"Huh? I-is that.. Minato's kid?" I ask. Hiruzen nods. "Do not speak of this to anyone. His name is Uzumaki Naruto, not Namikaze Naruto, got it?"
"Right."
