Minatsuki finished writing the last part of a time-travel seal that she, Tobirama, and her father, Minato, had designed and create. She nearly collapsed on to the ground when a strong pair of arms grabbed her near her armpits to pull her back. She vision was slightly blurry, so all she saw was a blur of snow white hair, so she could count her sensei, Kakashi, and blue, it was Tobirama. The two had become lovers over the past few years that they had spent together, but they both knew that they could never be together.
Minatsuki had a single kid, Byakusei. She honestly didn't know who the father was and didn't care, she was happy to have him, he was only 4 but incredibly smart. After Naruto died and they had started to lose hope of winning the war against Madara, Tobirama and Byaku, her son's nickname, kept her going. Byakusei had her mother's red hair and her blue eyes, his skin tone was lighter than her's and her father's but wasn't like her mother's porcelain.
She looked up into those crimson eyes in which she loved so much, "To-Tobirama..." she croaked out.
Tobirama pulled her to her feet and his right arm encircled her waist, "Tsuki-chan, should rest..."
Minato walked to them and looked at the seal, then his cerulean blues widened and his head snapped to Minatsuki, "Minatsuki you can, we agreed that you'd go to your birthday..."
"We can't Tō-chan..." said Minatsuki as she stood up straight and Tobirama let go of her, "I can't go back to that day, I would be a useless infant. I have to go back further, that is my and Byaku's decision, the seal can only take two. If I go back further then I can make more changes.
"But you'll erase your existence, you wouldn't be my daughter!" Minato cried out a he gripped her by the shoulder and stopped himself from shaking her to try and put some sense into his daughter.
Minato had learned about how much Minatsuki could be like him and like his wife at the same time. She had her mother's round feature but his sharp chin and eyes. Different from her twin, who had all his mother's round features and just his eye shape. They both had his sun yellow blonde hair mixed in with their mother's dark Uzumaki hair. She had the same birthmarks as Naruto and the only real difference in their personalities was that she was calmer and had Kushina's temper when pushed way to far.
Minatsuki softened her gaze, "I won't be your daughter either way, I would be to old. I am not the Yogen no Ko-tachi (1), my otōto is. With gone, our world is doomed. I need to go back so that he can be born along with all those who were precious to him, precious to me. SO then I can protect them so that they don't have to be put in a mountain just to be safe." the female blonde girl gripped his hands, "Tō-chan, this was Naruto's final wish. For me to go back. For me to save as many important people as I could. I can't do that if I"m no tin a position to be strong enough to do that.
She pulled her father into a hug, "Just because I no longer will be your daugher doesn't mean I won't be there for my otōto," she chuckled, "He always wanted to be the older one, guess not in this world.
Minato knew that he would be crying is he really was alive. Instead he squeezed her tighter into his embrace and ran his sun-kissed tan fingers through her soft hair, which slightly spiked up just like his and her brother's. She had grown out her hair to represent her mom's.
"Just do whatever it takes to plant yourself into my family. You know what my story is; I'm a war orphan, and I was almost extremely desperate for a family. Jiraiya-sensei was basically a father to me, but I would be very happy and honored to have a blood relative by my side. You may not be my daughter or sister, seeing at you are 21 but you could be a great aunt.
Minatsuki smiled, "I know Tō-chan, but I'll be sure to protect and keep the family together..."
The Yondaime nodded and kissed her temple. Minatsuki left hsis arms and stood next to Tobirama, everyone else who was there decidedto give them so personal time. Tears came out of Minatsuki's eyes and Tobirama did his best to kiss and wipe them away.
"To-Tobirama..." she cried.
Tobirama already knew what she wanted to tell him. dThey would most likely never see each other ever again.
"I love you..." he whispered as he brushed a strand of hair out of her face.
"I love you too..." she hiccuped.
"I'll see you in the after life..." he said, "Please don't be too quick to join... maybe you'll find someone-"
"Don't you dare finish that sentence, I don't care how damaged or anything, I love you so much..." said Minatsuki as her eyes roamed his face quickly, shooting from side to side.
Tobirama cupped her cheek, "Okay..." he kissed her on the lips, Minatsuki closing her eyes almost immediately.
They broke apart and hugged, before Minatsuki could walk to her sensei and get her child. Tobirama grabbed her hand, Minatsuki turned around and he held a necklace in his hand, it had a pearl white moon as the center piece, with little chain with stars that came of the chain.
"Of you... to remember me..." said Tobirama.
Minatsuki touched the necklace and gave a small smile, "Thanks you Bira-kun..." then she headed of to her child and sensei.
"Sensei..." Minatsuki said as she picked Byakusei up.
Kakashi patted her head, "Set me straight..."
Minatsuki nodded, "Of course sensei..." She went up to Gaara and Byakusei made grabby motions at the stoic kage. She had been one of his first first friends; she and Naruto. He was also Byakusei's godfather.
"I would not send you off without some requests. The only wish I have for you is to find happiness, don't put your future on hold just to save all of us and make some new friends, just like us..." Gaara said.
"I will Gaara..." she whispered and leaned up to give her a kiss on the cheek, "I can't truly promise, but I'll try to save your mother... you deserve happiness just as much as anyone else..."
Minatsuki smiled and hugged Gaara, Byakusei too, then headed towards the seal again. She took in a deep breath and let herself enter the mindscape. She wasn't surprised to the fox in a meditative position. He'd been silent for the past couple of days, gather chakra for their trip.
'Old friend...' Minatsuki called out, 'You prepared?"
Blood red eyes opened to gaze down at their host, "I am as ready as I can make us. Have you both said your goodbyes?"
'It's not goodbye, it's just a see you later...' Minatsuki said with an eye smile that was almost forced.
"They won't be the same people as we met, you are going to preventing a lot of pain so they won't be remembering those lessons that hey learned and share the same bonds as they once did..."
Minatsuki chuckled as she considered Kurama, 'Perhaps we won't, but I can just create those bonds once again...'
The Kyūbi rolled his eyes at those words, "Dear Kami help them because you are just like your brother in some ways..."
Minatsuki's eyes dulled at the reminder of her brother.
"He'd be very muchly proud of you..." Kurama said in a softer tone.
"Hmmm..." Minatsuki looked up at the ancient red eyes of the bijū and gave a true smile.
"Now, let's get this show started..." said the bijū.
Blue eyes snapped open, the blonde look back to the last of her family, with by blood or not. Minato walked up to his daughter and gave her one last hug before teleporting to his spot in which he would active the seal. Tobirama patted her head and kissed her on the cheek and Byakusei on the forehead, he left to do the same as Minato since he heard the blonde Kage growl. Hashirama gave her brotherly hug and wished her well, he too would be powering the seal in which would send her back, then the reanimation of the Sandaime walked up to her, placing a head on her head.
"While you and your brother drove me insane, I would never give that up for the world. I wish I could have done better for the two of you, but I think you both became amazing people..." she ruffled her hair, "Do you remembered what we spoke about."
"You're a crafty man who would no be fooled by anyone easily. Even if you don't say out loud, you'll be putting the pieces of the puzzle together, only if I slip up will you make me admit it all, but that can't happen. Your council must not be trusted at any point in time..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded with a sad look and removed his hand, "Good luck Magomusume (2)."
Hiruzen pinched one of Byakusei's cheek, "By little one..."
"Bye Jiji..." said the little boy.
Minatsuki suddenly had to duck her head as another necklace was placed around her neck, her eyes widened and she had to force herself not to tremble as she gazed down at the pale green jewel.
"Your brother was able to break the curse on this, take it with you so you will always remember what and why you fight... you might have never wanted to seat, but your heart is one of a Kage, just like your otōto..." Warm lips pressed against her forehead and the blonde felt tears start to form.
She looked up with watery cerulean eyes, "Bā-chan..." Minatsuki whispered.
"Make me and the rest of us proud Tsuki-chan..." Tsunade said.
"I will... believe it..." Minatsuki said with a giant grin.
"Bā-chan... bye-bye..." Byakusei waved.
Tsunade took one of his little hands in hers, "Bye Byaku-kun..."
As Tsunade walked away few other's came up, such as Kakashi and Gaara and Kurotsuchi, as well as Mei. Then finally, the pale Sannin came up.
"Tsuki-chan... please prevent my mistakes from happening..." Orochimaru said.
Minatsuki nodded, "Of course Orochimaru-san..."
"If anyone can fix the Sannin it can be you..." he surprised Minatsuki with the pleading look in his eyes, "If you end up going far back enough, then can you save me from going down that road? If you end intriguing enough, then it will prevent me from looking at sensei's seat... I find that over the past few years, I miss my teammates dearly..."
Minatsuki smiled, "I will do what I can..."
"Keep Danzō's hands, I'm a scientist and a logical man, use it against me..."
The blonde smieked, "Took you long enough..."
"Just go gaki..." said Orochimaru.
Mintsuki snickered before sitting down in her own lotus position, Byakusei in her lap doing a similar position. Molding her chakra, she felt the power rise to match her own. A long stream of hands signs began, all two hundred of them. When the last one was complete, she slammed a hand on the ground and the seal activated.
