Still own nothing.

I spy with my little eye something... orange.


Fast Forward

Two years later

Kakashi and I were back in Konoha. We were on patrol near an area where Kushina was about to give birth. The head captain has been getting reports of unusual activity going on around the village. My team was stationed around the perimeter. Minato had a team assembled in case something happened to the village.

"How are you holding up?" Kakashi asked me.

I blushed when he rubbed my belly. We were expecting our third child. Our first two were girls. I had a feeling that Kakashi was hoping for a boy.

"I'm fine. The baby is just quiet." I sighed.

"I'm surprised the captain let you come."

"Me too."

"Captain, we're all ready." We heard over the earpiece.

"That's good, just keep your eyes pealed." Kakashi said. "We don't know if this threat will be a shinobi or shinigami. We have to be prepared for anything."

I had almost forgotten that Kakashi had assembled his squad. I had asked Tessai and Kisuke to be here too. Kakashi and I hoped that things would go well for Kushina, but we couldn't shake the feeling that something big was going to happen.

I was surprised when the spirit king had sent two of his best medics with us. I had a feeling he knew more about things in the shinobi world than what he led on. I jumped a bit when we heard Kushina in labor. I smacked Kakashi on the shoulder when he started to laugh at me.

"Captain… Someone or something with an orange mask is snooping around."

"Damn it." I muttered. "Tobi is back."

"Stop him at any cost, he's a great danger to the village."

"There are a few pursuing him."

We glanced at each other. It was too odd of a coincidence that Tobi would be near Konoha, especially with what was about to happen.

Boom!

Kakashi managed to catch me as we flew a ways away. We looked up and saw the nine tails. I was amazed on how huge he was. He growled and flared his tails out.

"Tessai! We need to keep the fox from getting too far!"

I ran inside to see if everyone was all right and if I could help. I didn't see the barrier go up as I reached the others. Two of medics were working on Kushina as Minato held the baby.

"Captain! We lost sight of the masked man."

"On my way." I heard Kakashi say.

I went over to Kushina and tried to keep her calm as we heard explosions going on outside. I was getting worried about what was going on out there. Hearing things over the earpiece wasn't easing my nerves.

"Yoruichi, I need your help."

Minato rested his hands on my shoulder. I saw that the he had set the baby down near Kushina. I gave a nod and followed him.

"We need to seal the nine tails. I'm not sure if we can get him sealed back into Kushina. If not, we'd have to seal him in Naruto." Minato rushed.

"Hokage sir, your wife is too weak right now. We're not sure she'll make it through the process." One of the medics said. Minato instructed the medics and Tessai on what to do.

"Then it will have to be Naruto."

We rushed and got things ready. I watched as Kushina tried to help Minato with sealing the nine tails, with what energy she had left.

"We managed to corner the masked guy, Captain."

"There were some explosions inside the village."

"We need to keep focus! Keep the masked guy out!"

"Minato, hurry." Kushina whispered.

I tried to hold the protective barrier around us. I felt unusual spike of spiritual pressure around us. I had an idea of what it was and I hoped that I was wrong.

"Yoruichi, there are hollows coming towards you."

"Oh great." I muttered.

I glanced back at everyone before I slipped through the barrier to the outside. I met the hollows and eliminated them quickly. I returned back to the entryway to find that Kakashi there.

"Ka…"

Before I could finish, he pushed me through the barrier. I stumbled back as I heard clanging of metal as I saw him fighting Tobi. I focused my attention back to the barrier.

"Hurry Minato!" I yelled.

I felt the barrier start to weaken. There was another explosion that shook the entire place and the sides start to crumble. I felt something hit my neck and everything went black.


Hours later

I woke up and found myself in a strange place. I glanced around taking in the surroundings. I tried to sit up as I rubbed my neck.

"Oh good. You're all awake."

I saw Minato in the doorway. He looked a bit roughed up.

"What happened?"

"The place collapsed right after we sealed the nine tails. I managed to get everyone out with help from Tessai." Minato said.

"Where am I?"

"My safe house."

"What was with all of the explosions?"

"Tobi tried to cause some chaos and it didn't work out well. We did have some casualties though. Kushina and Naruto are resting."

I breathed a sigh of relief. They were safe.

"One of the medics checked you and your baby over. You two are fine."

"Kakashi?"

"Is right here."

I looked over and saw him. He laughed as I tried to get up. Minato helped me up and I gave Kakashi a hug.

"You look terrible." I said.

"Well, I did fight Tobi again. He just doesn't know when to give up."

"I don't think that will be the last time we see him."

"I don't think so either."

"I'm just glad that it wasn't worse."

"I think we all are."


Months later

Kakashi was on cloud nine or at least I teased him about it. I had given birth to our first son. He looks just like Kakashi, white hair, dark eyes and pale skin.

"So Kashi, what should we name him?" I asked.

I watched as he sat in the chair holding the baby. He was deep in thought as he looked over the baby's small hands and feet. Finally he looked up at me and smiled.

"Obito."
