"Unfortunately, Kakashi is busy with something important right now. So another person skilled with seals will deal with the seal on Uchiha." The anbu infront of us.
I nodded at him.
'Hiruzen must have thrown Kakashi under the bus. Well he is a cute sacrificial pawn after all.'
"And Hokage sama was asking that if you are ready to talk. As you have finished the exam second fastest in this second round."
"Wait ! We are second ! Who is the first ? I mean, we completed the round in one day !" Sakura asked loudly. I can't understand why did it matter for her any way. Not like she did anything except for healing some of Sasuke's wounds. But I am the one who allowed her to retain her original personality. So I can't blame her entirely.
"Team 8 from hidden leaf under Kurenai Yuhi." The Anbu spoke emotionlessly.
I was surprised. But it was nothing out of expectations. Their team is a trackers team. And the riddles were not that hard.
So I was expecting them to complete the round easily.
But to win it is something else.
Now that I remember correctly, Hinata wasn't the shy girl back in the academy. Sure she wasn't after Uchiha's cock, but she wasn't like in the canon either. It must be that.
Thinking like that I dismissed team eight's win.
Instead I focused on the Anbu.
"Fine. Tell him that I am ready."
"Alright." After a quick nod he left us in the room.
Then I turned to Sakura. "I am going to bath. Just call me if Sasuke wakes up ." When she nodded, I took the spare clothes that were provided to exclusively me ? Hokage must have sent them. They were more modest than my jacket which showed most of my breasts.
By the time I returned from my bath, the Anbu was already waiting for me. I wore the turtle neck full sleeved black shirt with the orange skirt and went to the Anbu. After noticing me, he nodded and put his hands on my shoulders. Then he forced sunsined away.
We didn't went to the Hokage tower. Instead it was one of the rooms inside the central tower.
After he left, I took a deep breath and entered the room after knocking.
...
"It was my fault in the first place to believe in the people of the hidden leaf to believe in you hokage sama , Kakashi."
Minato could do nothing but blame himself. This has always been his problem. He was always too honest. And this honesty has costed him everything that he loved. He loved Kushina. He loved his unborn child. But when the time came his ideology didn't late him be selfish enough to choose his family over his duty.
What Naruto said is true. He literally killed her the day she was born.
He knew how hard an orphan's life could be in a place like hidden leaf village. He had experienced it himself. And yet he left his child alone with the most powerful of the tailed beast sealed inside her body.
He knew how Kushina was treated when she was a child. And yet he heartlessly foreshook his child to suffer the same fate or even worse.
It was all his fault for listening to bullshits of Jiraya about the child of prophecy.
It was his stupidity. Atleast Sandaime protected her for whatever reason.
He was no fool. He could clearly see behind his white lies. He left Naruto to fend off her own. And when she was in dire need of help, he appeared. A classic old school trick to make someone loyal to you. And he wasn't expecting any less from the god of manipulation.
But at least he did something.
It could have been worse.
Him believing in Jiraya's bullshits could have created someone worse who could have destroy the entire world.
(AN:*My other fanfiction's protagonist Naruko*)
He knew that he is the worst father in the world.
It was his fault for believing in that old toad. It was his fault for making him his child's Godfather.
The list of his mistakes were so long that he himself didn't believe that he deserves forgiveness. But like every other man he still hoped that at least she could accept him as her family.
Kushina hadn't talked with him since they have returned from the forest.
And he understood it clearly. You know that she understood his reasoning. But at the end of the day she is still a mother. And a mother's heart always bleed for her child.
He still didn't understand how they came back from the dead. It should be impossible. And why now ? Did someone with greater power interfered ?
(AN:*😁Our cute little chunni demon lord Naruko chan lol But it will be in the future reaction series*)
Minato didn't know the answer. But he didn't know that it is for better or the worse. It could have been a lot better if they have been revived 10 or 12 years ago. But beggars can't be chosers.
So he could do nothing but sigh.
But one person he was most disappointed in was Kakashi. He was like a surrogate son to him. After Sakumo's death, he practically raised him. He guided him and took care of him.
But at the end Kakashi betrayed him.
He should have acted as her older brother. He should have at least guided her.
But again he put his expectations too high.
Kushina would have killed him if not for the interference of the third Hokage. But he still thought that a broken leg, two broken arms, a broken nose and a kick to the balls was not enough punishment for what he did.
Kushina was a moment late from snapping his neck with her chakra chains when the third Hokage stopped her.
What he did was truly dispicable. Minato can't even imagine how in the world Kakashi could engage in a sexual relationship with someone who is less than half of his age not to mention like a sister.
He shook his head to get rid of those thoughts.
He looked at Kushina's figure and his heart ached. But he knew that he can't comfort her right now. So he just stood behind her.
Right then he heard a three time knock on their door.
Kushina's head snapped up.
The door opened and their daughter entered the room.
...
"Hello...."I greeted Kushina. Minato was there but I decided to avoid him. There are two reasons for that. And it was nothing to do with him sealing Kyuubi in me. The first was he is too smart for his own good. He has always been one of the smartest and yet foolish characters in the series. And he always put duty over his family. I didn't want to put my trust on him. So avoiding him was the best option.
The secondary is he is very handsome. And I don't want any incest or toxic relationship with my only family.
"Naruto...." Kushina acknowledged.
She was not crying anymore. And it was a good thing. But she stayed silent. And after sometime I realised that silence is more uncomfortable than her crying.
So I decided to start the conversation.
"*sigh* I will be honest with you. Never in my life I have ever thought that I would ever get a family. After I understood what kind of relationship I was in with Kakashi, that hope died. Instead I focused on maintaining that relationship at any cost.
And now that you are back, it feels like a dream. I am really afraid you know. What if I wake up and you vanish.
*Sigh*chuckle* I don't even know why I am sighing so much.
My life is messed up. I want you to know about it clearly before you decide something. You don't have to worry about my problems. I just want a family. I can take care of myself.
Anyway I would like to live with you if you allow me to. It won't be easy but I think I will be in your care if you agree."
Honestly it wasn't much of a talk. Kushina didn't say anything till the end. But kept sobbing lightly.
"Thank you. Thank you for giving me this chance." We hugged each other.
Honestly a mother's love, can melt even the heart of a devil.
