Chapter One

what happen before

It's March 26, 2000 close to my due date for my third child. Today my friend

Mikoto Uchiha came over to eat dinner we are getting the food ready while we wait for our husbands to get back from work. Her oldest son is with my oldest Naruto and with the second oldest Karin. The three are in the living room waiting for their fathers. Mikoto's baby is in the guest room sleeping.

Two hours go by and they aren't home yet, suddenly we hear a knock Itachi goes to open it with Naruto and Karin following close behind him, he looks through the peephole and says

"Uzumaki-San Papa's and Hokage-Sama's friends are here"

"Itachi you know there is no need to be formal ,ok call me Kushina"

"Ok, Kushina-san"

"Now let me see what they need" the three of them move to the side while I open the door "Good afternoon how may i help you?"

"Kushina sama we have bad news for you,"

"Oh,and what may that be?"

"its about Hokage-san, he was with Uchiha-san and they were caught in the middle of two gangs, they tried to stop it but it didn't work.."

"What do you mean, where is he," "Hokage-sama was shot multiple of times, an hour ago we received a message from Uchiha-sama calling for back up we went with the ambulance and and a couple other officers,but when we got there it was too late your Husband had lost a lot of blood"he continued talking "Uchiha-san was lucky not to have as much wounds right bow he's at the hospital getting them stitched up,"

"Are you saying,"

"I'm sorry, here are his belongings, we'll be on our way," at that moment i felt my whole world fall apart, i closed the door fall to my knees and start crying,but wipe my tears away i have two about to be three children. The three children followed me into the kitchen, as I'm about to speak Mikoto ask me "Kushina what's wrong, what happen?"

"He's dead, he got shot while he was with Fugaku."

"Where's Fugaku?"

"He's at the hospital." she then hugs me

"I'm so sorry Kushina, "

"For what you didn't do anything it's fine, what hurts is that I don't know how to rise my children alone i always had Minato here to help me, I'm afraid to be a bad mother, I don't know what to do." I say that while tears run down my face

"Sweetie it'll be fine I'm here to help you,ok" I nod and wupe my tears away

"Mikoto you should head over to the hospital so you can check up on Fugaku I'll stay here with the kids, I mean Naruto and Karin love being with Itachi, and I would love to be with Sasuke,"

"Are you sure I can stay with you,"

"Nonsense you go on and go check on him"

"Okay then I'll be back in a few"

"Bye"

"Bye" and she closes the door.

I go check on the baby and to my surprise he's awake. I go pick him up and he smiles. I head to the living room and ask Itachi so questions about his brother

"So Itachi, when is your brother's birthday"

"July 23, why"

"no reason just wondering"

( Mikoto's POV)

I head to the hospital, once i get there i ask what Fugaku room number is once the receptionist tells me it, I run to gis room. I see him, i do what i think i should do hug him."You scared me I thought you were going to die,"

"Hmph, I'm fine,"

"You know what happened wasn't your fault,"

"I could of saved my best friend,but i couldn't now his wife is alone pregnant,"

"Kushina isn't alone, she's got us,"

"Mikoto, we're moving to Suna in a month" ugh i had forgotten about that.

Now how am i going to tell Kushina.
