Minato Namikaze Uzumaki Uchiha*
"Hey, Kushina, how are you doing?" Minato called out, his voice full of energy as he spotted the slim, red-headed woman. He ran up to her, picked her up, and spun her around, a wide smile forming as her laughter filled the air. They had been dating since high school, though they had known each other since they were very young.
After his death, when he sealed the Kyuubi in his son, Naruto, Minato was left with deep regret. Later, he met Kami, who offered him a second chance to be reborn in another world. In this new life, Minato found himself in a place filled with heroes and villains. He quickly realized he couldn't use chakra anymore, but his abilities manifested as something called a "quirk." He also discovered that he had inherited the Sharingan since, in this new life, he was the son of Madara Uchiha.
Despite the loss of chakra, Minato wasn't too concerned. Kami had left him with a significant amount of wealth, though he kept that fact to himself. One happy twist of fate in this new world was meeting Kushina again. Although she had no memory of their previous life, they ended up falling for each other all over again. Minato later found out that the Kyuubi also existed here, but now it was just a quirk called "Nine Above All." Kushina explained that her grandmother named it so because it took the form of a nine-tailed fox when fully unleashed. Though the Kyuubi was no longer a constant nuisance, Kushina remained as hot-headed as ever—something Minato still loved about her.
After graduating from their respective high schools—Minato from U.A. (where he trained with All Might and became close like brothers) and Kushina from another school (the one with the hats)—they became pro heroes. Minato and All Might shared the spot as the number one hero, with Endeavor in second, Kushina third,. Eventually, Minato proposed to Kushina, and his heart swelled with happiness when she said yes. Now, five years into their marriage, Minato found himself holding Kushina after one of their playful moments. As her laughter died down, he noticed a worried expression on her face.
"What's wrong, Kushina?" Minato asked, concerned that something was bothering her.
"No, no, everything is fine," she replied, though hesitantly. "But... I do have something to tell you."
"Then go ahead," he encouraged.
"Well, I'm pregnant."
Minato's face flushed a light pink as the realization hit him (just like before).
*Nine Months Later*
In the hospital, Minato's body was being crushed by Kushina's grip. Her hand clamped down on his, and her chakra chains restrained his body, making escape impossible. Despite his best efforts, she wouldn't let go, squeezing him even harder as labor dragged on.
After several hours, their son Naruto was born. He had sun-kissed tan skin, soft black hair, and three whisker marks on each cheek.
*A Few Days Later*
Minato and Kushina were finally able to return home after staying at the hospital. Minato busied himself setting up everything for Naruto after Kushina had put their son to sleep in his crib in their bedroom. Exhausted but content, they sat together on the couch, taking in everything that had happened.
"How are you feeling, honey?" Minato asked, holding her close.
"Tired but really happy that we're finally home," Kushina replied. "Though, I've been wondering… why does Naruto have black hair? He's got my face, your eyes, and your tan skin, but no one in my family has black hair."
Minato chuckled softly. "He got that from my father."
Kushina nodded sleepily. "You're right… I guess that makes sense," she murmured.
"You should get some rest. I'll watch over him," Minato said gently, but when he looked down, he saw that Kushina had already fallen asleep in his arms. Smiling, he carefully picked her up and laid her on their bed.
As Minato gazed at his sleeping wife and newborn son, he couldn't help but feel a deep sense of fulfillment. Their life was perfect, and his son's journey had only just begun.
