Konoha was safe and sound; shinobi and civilians like were working on reconstructing what was destroyed and he, as their Hokage, was swamped with paperwork. *groan*. If he had any choice in the matter, Minato would spend this sunny, beautiful day with his lovely family; stealing kisses from the heated red head and fussing over Naruto.
Another groan escaped his lips. Naruto- an enigma of its own. When Minato's reason came back to him, he quickly checked over his small boy, searching for any sign of Kyuubi possessing him. He found nothing.
On the tan stomach of his child was an Eight Trigrams Seal, which was quite odd , considering it required great skill, which non exhibited seeing as how none did it; but it was still there. Keeping Kyuubi at bay. Tying their lives together. Making him a perfect Jinchuuriki.
How that happened, nobody knew; for a high-class fūinjutsu like that to take place, you needed great skill. Great skill and great guts. Not to mention willingness. Seemingly, the widespread conclusion was that the Kyuubi sealed himself inside the Yondaime's legacy. Why, or even how, went unanswered.
They tried to question it; council (Danzo) wanted desperately to know everything about the sealing, so they hired Inoichi, one of their best mind-walker. That didn't get them anywhere; Naruto's mind was closed off for everyone. Inoichi later stated that it was like a huge brick wall was surrounding his son's mind, stopping the intruders from getting in. Minato wasn't sure whether to bash his head on the desk or thank the Gods for it.
So they tried a different approach; but with Naru-chan being a barely week old baby, talking to him proved futile.
Kushina took it good; unlike others she pretended nothing unusual happened. Her blonde baby was treated like any other, if not a little to say otherwise was rewarded with a glare and a fist.
She smiled down at the little bundle in her arms. Naru-chan was a truly angelic baby; with his soft, feminine lines, shining blue eyes and blonde halo, he captured everybody's heart with his looks. Even though Kushina hated girly boys, she found no fault in her boy. She stopped herself from squealing; Naru-chan was too cute for his own good!
Minato's charge, Rin, agreed with her to the T. When she first saw her sensei's son, she started cooing and squealing at the same time, barely containing herself from smothering him. Kakashi was forced to put down his book and stop her from harming the kid. He himself didn't know what was so special about the kid; sure, he was cute. They were shinobis, for Goodness sake; none level of cuteness can make any of them drop their guard…
Rin was snickering, seeing the normally pale face blushing; Naru-chan was currently looking at the silver-headed teen, his sapphire eyes sprouting crystal drops, letting a small, adorable whimper escape his lips. Kakashi was so going down.
