Mikoto was making the dinner when Itachi came home
"Kaa-saan"
"Itachi sit on the table we are going to eat the dinner"
"Yes"
"He completed his academy in 11 months entire 1 month earlier than him", came the voice of Fugaku Uchiha
"He is just like his father isn't he", said Mikoto with slight tears in her eyes as she put her hand softly on her belly, "I wonder if my second is going to be a genius like his father and brother as well"
"Sigh...Mikoto don't you think you should tell him the truth"
"No, and you know why"
"For someone who goes through so much for love, I truly respect you", said Fugaku as he started moving away
"Fugaku....thank you for honoring my request"
"My pride as a man and Uchiha won't allow me to have another man's women; and I am sorry for not being able to do anything about our marriage", after saying that he finally goes away
"If only others could see it as well, just like you did", mutter Mikoto as she started working on making dinner again
-------
Uzumaki Kushina was sitting at the table of her living room, rubbing her growing belly. She couldn't believe that in less than two months, she was going to become a mother and finally hold her precious baby boy in her arms.
When the doctor confirmed the baby was a boy, she found herself imagining how he would look like. A child from her and Minato, from the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero and Konoha's Yellow Flash… Their child was definitely going to be amazing.
"What are you laughing at, Kushina?" Minato asked, placing a warm and gentle hand on her shoulder before sitting in a chair next to her.
"I was wondering how Naruto is going to look like," she said with a grin. "I mean… he's a child you and I conceived together. I'm trying to imagine whether he's going to take after me."
Minato laughed and placed his hand on his wife's pregnant belly, he had to admit those thoughts had crossed his mind.
"I hope he inherits your hair," the Fourth Hokage said.
Like always, Kushina blushed. "I haven't thought about that! But now that you mentioned it, I would like him to have your face."
"Huh? My face?"
"Sure, you looked girly as a kid but you became very handsome after a few years. I hope Naruto gets the best from both of us."
"Then he won't get your personality" Minato joked. "I don't think the world could handle the two of you."
"What? What's wrong with my personality?" Kushina shouted, while her husband carefully moved away from her reach. "I'm a strong, confident and cheerful person. Naruto would be blessed to get that from me! You're too passive, Minato! Our boy will be a badass like his mommy!"
The Yondaime could only laugh. "I guess you're right…"
-------
"Listen up, you 5 are someone who I, lord 3rd Hokage, and lord 4th Hokage trust absolutely, if what I am about to tell you gets out, I will take your life in the most horrible way possible, DO YOU UNDERSTAND"
"YES COMMANDER"
"2 months later, Kushina is about to give birth in a secret place, you 2 will be with her acting as a midwife as you will not leave her side at any circumstances till either you or her die, you 2 will guard the door hidden in the shadows, anyone wants to enter must go through your eyes"
"I will take the front door, letting everyone see me"
"Minato will be handling the seal on her"
"As for you, you will be hidden in the shadows inside the room, if by any chance, the enemy manages to get through us and kill these 2, Kushina who will give birth at that time will be absolutely helpless, protect her and her newborn child"
With this formation even if he and Minato wished to get inside they wouldn't be able to do it without alerting, and Minato and him are there as well, with little noise they can be there in less than a second
"Here is the map of the secret place, remember don't let anyone know about it, all of you remember it and then destroy it"
-------
He put tracking seal near and inside the safe house, if anyone is there at the destined day, he will know it
-------
"Ryo don't you think you are doing too much", said Minato smiling as both of them were inside the Hokage tower
"Minato I know I am being paranoid, but...the feeling just won't go away I keep feeling like, something is about to go wrong"
-------
"With Nii-saan, it's near impossible to break through and get our hands on the Kyuubi", said Obito as he was sitting inside a cave with Madara and Zetsu
"I will take him on so that you could complete the extraction", said old Madara Uchiha
"I agree with Obito, it's near impossible even if he could not beat you, we still would not be able to take on Minato Namikaze," said Zetsu
"Don't worry even though I might not be able to take on Nii-saan but for Minato-sensei, I can take him on myself as long as I have my eyes", said Obito being Overconfident
"If you think so", finally said Zetsu
-------
The rest of the 2 months remaining are spent preparing the large apartment for the arrival of its newest member. The baby room is painted a soft shade of blue with an oak crib situated in the center of the room. There was a bookshelf with baby books, a changing area and toy boxes filled to the brim with soft cuddly toys and imitation ninja tools
-------
Kushina- AAAAAAHHHHHHHH
Minato (Worry and Sad face) I have never seen Kushina in so much pain...is she going to be okay?
Third Hokage wife- Yes Minato just stay focus on the seal
"B-But"
"For God Sake!!! Namikaze Minato you are the fourth Hokage now act like one, man can die being in so much pain, but women won't, every single one of them go through this much pain at least once in their life, so stay calm and focus I know you don't wanna see her in pain but she is going to be alright"
After around 1minute or so....baby was born and start crying and so does Minato
"Why are you crying", asked third Hokage wife
"I am a father now *hic*
Ryo was smiling while leaning on the front door, "Good luck Minato, Kushina I am sure you two are going to be wonderful parents"
-------
*Badump* someone entered the tracking seal range
"Oho, someone provoking you?", said Son Goku (4 tail) being shocked
"Exactly, he is luring me out, out of Kushina and naruto's range", said Ryo
"But are you sure you won't hurt Kushina and Naruto while fighting here?", countered Isobu (3 tail)
"No, I am not", as Ryo started moving at an extremely fast speed
-------
"W-What's with this overwhelming chakra level and terrifying killing intent, W-who are you", asked Ryo totally shocked
"My name is Madara Uchiha but that is not important; what's important is that you are going to die," said the man in the orange mask
'What the hell Madara Uchiha? the founder of this village? but how?"
*Badump*
'There is another person inside with Kushina and Minato...DAMMITT!!'
"Sorry whoever you are I am in a bit of a hurry...we will talk next time"
Ryo shot his palm forward and a powerful wind gust through while freezing everything ahead, this was an extremely fast attack he didn't make a seal or speak he just shot his palm forward
But the mask orange man absorb the attack like it's nothing
"This is an extremely fast attack I must say, if I was my former self I would have to put some effort into evading this attack"
'Goku, isobu, what the hell is going on?'
'He has Rinnegan, it can absorb all of the ninjutsu', said son Goku
'In other words, you have to hit him hard to win', isobu said
"Swift release: Blitzkertiz"
He ran, he ran faster than the wind or sound itself as he punched towards the orange masked man
"Almighty Push"
BOOOOMMMM
*cough*cough "what the heck is going on", asked Ryo as he was on his knees with blood leaking from his mouth
"My rinnegan can see through your movements"
'Tch, the enemy is powerful I can not dump him hope you can protect your child and wife Minato', Ryo finally stood up rub the blood on the mouth as he got ready to fight seriously
He turned both his palms upwards as the dragon made of flame lightning, wind, earth, lava, water, and the ice turned up
"Interesting, but aren't you forgetting ninjutsu cannot hurt me?"
"Because you can absorb them? we shall see"
-------
After Minato left Naruto inside his house, he goes back to find Kushina only for him to find Kushina bound in chains
"Minato...that masked man...you must stop him....he took the nine tails out and is going to control him to destroy Konoha", said tired Kushina whose vitality is decreasing at a dangerous pace
"Don't worry just stay with Naruto in our house, okay, I will be back soon, love you", Minato flashed Kushina into their house and made her lie down beside Naruto while he flashed away to stop Kyuubi
"Naruto...we finally met...my precious child...my...our son", suddenly naruto begins to cry, "Shh...don't worry naruto...mommy is here...daddy will get rid of those bad people", giggled Kushina
Her huge vitality is decreasing, she is dying
-------
"Minato"
*Huff*Huff "This is as far as I can go...i don't have much chakra left... I will protect...I won't give up!!!
"Wait..i still can....i still can do it...", Kushina made a hand sign as kyuubi was bound in chains
*Cough* Blood
"Kushina"
"I am dying Minato... I will take Kyuubi with me..... that's the only way to protect you and our son... I *hic* I love you minato....i love you more than anything else....our son... I" *hic*hic "I want to see him grow up... I want us to remain as a family...*hic*hic "I don't want to die"
"Kushina... I am going to use...our remaining chakra...into the seal for our reunion with our child"
"Minato...But"
"This is the only way, my love...He will grow up as a jinchiruki...but he is going to be okay....he is our... your child after all"
"WHY WHY must you sacrifice yourself...for my dreams...live with naruto...watch him grow up be wi-"
"Because it's my right...as a father", Minato smiled a charming smile
-------
Madara returned covered entirely in blood he was not being able to walk straight
"I never thought he would be able to push you this far even with rinnegan", said Zetsu
"He was powerful alright.... with the help of two bijjus power he was nearly able to kill me", said Madara as he vomits a chunk of blood
-------
Ryo was covered entirely in blood and stumbling along the way, "What's with that guy..... he was so powerful"
"Indeed without our help, you would be dead already"
"I have to find... Minato and Kushina" *Vomit blood*
-------
"Death Reaper Seal"
'What he is going to seal me again? not this time not AGAIN', Kyuubi in desperation pushed his claws against naruto Minato could not save him he was in the middle of the sealing but he still pushed himself to protect his child but another person did it as well Kushina
"Why...why did you do it?" asked Minato as his eyes were dimming, he was dying
"Haha....i can ask you the same thing you know"
"I...am his father....dying for him is my right"
"I am his mother...dying for him is my right too"
"Grrr"
Kushina giggled
"Kushina I am gonna put some of our chakra into seal....it will hurt a little.....but why don't we..tell..naruto what we want him to tell...we will not.... see him in the future...for a while"
-------
"Naruto....don't be a picky eater...eat a lot..grow big and strong...make sure to bath everyday...don't be awake too late...sleep too much...plus...make friends..you don't need too many..just few that you can really rely on...and your mommy was really bad at this...but study hard.. and learn your ninjutsu...respect your teachers...oh and girls...

I wanna stay longer with you... I love you...please...don't think mom and dad abandoned you."
"Minato...I am sorry I talked too much.."
"No...it's alright...naruto..my words... are exactly the same.... as you mohter...grow up well... okay"
"NO"
Minato and Kushina turned their head to see a bloody and bruised Ryo stumbling on the ground
"Ryo you finally made it...see he is Naruto...your nephew", Kushina said giggling while Minato smiled
"No don't die...please don't leave me alone again"
"Ryo I am afraid our time is up... I am going to seal one-half of Kyuubi inside of you.... while one half inside of Naruto...please take care of him"
Death reaper hand shot up towards Ryo
"GAK", death reaper hands passed through him and seal the yin half inside of him
Another hand shot up towards Naruto, passing through him and sealing yang half inside of him
"NOOO...NOOOOO...NOT AGAIN...NOOOOOO"
"Goodbye", said Kushina and Minato smiling at Ryo
"NOOOOO.... WAHHH....WAHHHHH...WAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH
*Badump*
Suddenly everything around him stops moving his bloodline activated on its own.... his perception of time change.....his heart is beating too fast
"WAAAAAHHHHHHHHH"
"Ryo your heart is beating too fast.....CALM DOWN!!!!!!!
"WAAAAHHHHH.....WAAAAAHHHHH...WAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
"RYO...CALM DOWN!!!... YOU ARE DYING"
"WHHHHHYYYYYYYY WHHHHHHHYYYYYYY
-------
Friends, families, we are gathered here on this day to commemorate the lives of those who fell in the Kyuubi no Youko's unprovoked attack on the village, he began. The cost of that night was high, and it was a price that should not have been paid. So many friends were lost in a conflict that never should have occurred, and so many families were torn apart by the loss of so many proud shinobi and upstanding civilians of this village in a single night.
For those stricken with grief, all of Konoha grieves with you. For those who have lost a husband, a wife, a son, a daughter, a brother or sister, all of Konoha knows your pain. For those who have had their homes destroyed and their land flattened, all of Konoha feels your burden. But, while we take time to mourn all that we have lost and grieve for the fallen, take solace in how they fell: they fell so we could live.
All of them, every single one of those fine men and women, gave their lives in the hopes that we might continue living, and that we would live to see the morning they could not share with us. Not only did they sacrifice themselves to protect the village and everyone in it, but they died with hope in their hearts, a hope that could not be extinguished by their deaths. All of their hopes and dreams still live on in us, and they live on the Will of Fire they cherished so deeply.
Today, our Wills of Fire may be dampened. They may be dwindling for some. They may be all but snuffed out for those who have lost so much. But, people of Konohagakure no Sato, our Fire cannot be dampened, it cannot be dwindling and it cannot be snuffed out. Our Fire cannot be any of those things, because our Will of Fire still burns. As long it burns, it will never be dim and dying. As long as it burns, it will never be dwindling or fading. As long as it burns, it will never be snuffed out.
Friends and families, the Will of Fire is fuelled by hope. As long as there is hope, even the tiniest ember of hope that drifts on the winds of ever-mounting change, there will be a Fire that burns. And it burns in us.
