“It’s a boy!” a joyful glee heard from a nurse. Minato was thankful that the delivery was safe. Overjoyed, he tried to hold his son, Naruto, but suddenly got yelled.

“Hands off you! Mother first.” After hearing those words, Minato was in a frown, but quickly understands and let her wife, Kushina see the baby first.

After all the hard work, this was a perfect gift for them. Minato approached Kushina and told her:

“Thank you.”

The tone of his voice is filled with emotions. Minato still couldn’t believe he became a father to this day.

After a little moment of happiness, Minato would never forget his duty. To protect Kushina and to take care of the nine tails.

He was about to seal the nine tails inside of Kushina, but he suddenly heard noise from outside. A cry of an old woman, and a cry of a child.

Minato was about to check, but everything was too late.

A masked man, whole body fully covered with his cloak. And the person that he held was no other than their son, Naruto.

His own son was held on as a hostage.

Then, the masked man spoked.

“Fourth Hokage, Minato. Step away from the Jinchuriki. Or else this child will die in its first minute.”

Of course, Minato was in panic, but also got concern at the same time.

“Have I seen this man before?” Minato asked his self. “Is he-”

“Ah!” he heard a painful grunt from Kushina. Before Minato even noticed, the seal was appearing in Kushina’s body.

The masked man, told Minato again.

“Get away from the Jinchuriki.”

“Wait! Please! Let’s stay calm!” Minato begged the masked man. He couldn’t think straight. He was in panic. Both his wife and his son’s life are in line.

The masked man couldn’t wait enough. He knew how much Minato loves his wife.

As a bait, the masked man threw Naruto up and was about to kill him.

“Naruto!” Kushina shouted. Minato saved his son by using the flying raijin. As he held Naruto in his arms, he heard a noise coming from Naruto’s cloth. And then there, he realized, an explosive tag was attached to it.

Before it explodes, Minato directly removed the cloth from Naruto’s body and managed to save him.

After landing to a safe place, he muttered, “He forced me to use the flying raijin jutsu.” He pick a little piece of wood and flipped it. “Gotta hurry.”

On the other hand, the masked man finally captured Kushina. His plan was going well, the bait was a success.

Kushina didn’t have any strength left. She just gave birth to Naruto, and during the delivery, the nine tailed fox was trying to get out of her.

The masked man told Kushina. “I am going to extract the nine tails from you. And crush the Leaf.”

Kushina was shocked after hearing these words. What did the hidden leaf do to this man? To the point, it’s seeking revenge, yet, cold blooded.

“The nine tails seal is weakened dure to childbirth.” He continued. And then, the masked man suddenly asked her.

“Do you have any idea how long I’ve been waited for this moment?”

The nine tails inside of Kushina, knew this person. “It’s you.” The nine tailed fox muttered.

The masked m*ed his sharingan to control the nine tailed fox. This, was an another success.

The seal of the nine tailed fox is gone. The nine tails was now extracted by the masked man. All the power of the nine tailed fox, was now on his hands.

After the extraction, Kushina was so weak to the point she can’t either walk or stand up. She let herself dropped to the ground, and lying.

“Good.” The masked man was satisfied. “Now we’ll head to the Hidden Leaf Village.” He was about to step up of the place. But he stopped.

“You Uzumakis are amazing.” He praised Kushina, yet, it was filled with evil content. “You don’t die right away when the tailed beast is extracted.” He continued.

Kushina looked up and was surprised the nine tailed fox will kill her. Before even the hands of the nine tailed beast lands on Kushina’s body, Minato arrived and saved her on time.

The masked man was mesmerized by Minato’s arrival. “You really are quick as a flash. But you are too late.” The masked man told him.

While Minato held Kushina in his arms, Kushina pleaded.

“They’re heading to the village. Stop them.”

Minato didn’t think any second thoughts. He directly teleported to the place where he kept Naruto safe.

“Why?” Kushina asked. “Nevermind about me. Just stay with naruto.” Minato replied.

Minato put Kushina to the bed, beside Naruto. Naruto was sleeping, wasn’t disturbed by any cir*stances.

As Kushina saw Naruto, she puts her hand on Naruto’s cheek. Hugging him, and was crying. Tears overflowed on her face. They weren’t tears of sadness. It was tears of happiness and joy. She felt safe as she held Naruto. “Naruto..” Kushina was happy.

Minato didn’t waste any time. He grabbed his flying raijin kunai and wore with hokage cloak.

“I’ll be right back.” Minato promised.

War is always there. Minato fought the masked man with all his might to protect the village, his beloved wife, and his beloved son.

The masked man retreated; Minato went to the place where he keep both Kushina and Naruto. And where he teleported the nine tailed beast.

Minato used the death reaper seal, Kushina intervened and joined Minato. Both of them bid farewell after giving their last words to their son.

Suddenly, Minato felt warm. “What is this?” he asked his self. He slowly opened his eyes, it was bright, but it doesn’t blind his eyes. “Where am I?” he stood up. After looking from his surroundings, he realized, he was in Konoha.

“How am I still alive?” he questioned his self. “DAD!” Minato heard a yell. When he looked back, he was suddenly in a room. “Dad! Help me! Mom’s going to kill me!!” a young lad, at the age of either 15 or 16, hugged Minato. This boy had a yellow like Minato’s. “Don’t you go there! You’re dad’s still sl-” A beautiful woman with her long red hair came in his room. “Minato! You should have told me that you’re awake.”

Minato couldn’t believe it. “Dad, please tell mom I am not going to do it again.” The boy hugging him still whines. “K-Kushina?” Minato called her with a cracked voice.

“What?! Why is your face like you seen a ghost?!” Kushina clenches her fists as if she’s ready to punch someone. “DAD! HELP ME!” the boy was begging. “Dad, PLEASE!” the boy hugging looked up to him. Minato began to see his face. A pair of blue eyes, on his cheeks, had 3 lines, which might signify as “whiskers”.

“Are you.. Naruto?” Minato asked the boy. “DAD! Do you think this is the perfect time for a joke?!” he still whined. Kushina’s mood changed. Instead of being angry, she became concerned. Kushina noticed something’s wrong with Minato. “Minato, why do you look pale?” she asked.

Minato didn’t still believe it. Again and again, he keeps questioning, “Why am I here?” “How am I still alive?”

“Geez, I told you not to overwork yesterday.” Kushina puts her hand on Minato’s forehead to check if he had fever. “Yesterday?” Minato asked. “You were helping Granny Tsunade for the whole day and you were soaked when you got home because it was heavily raining yesterday.” Naruto answered. “Fifth Hokage to you!” Kushina punched Naruto. “Ow!” he was in pain.

“Fifth Hokage? So does that mean, I am a retiree?” Minato murmured. “Minato, you look tired today, why don’t we go out and have fun?” Kushina smiled. “Fun? What’s the occasion?” Minato asked. “Dad, are you okay?” Naruto was concerned. “I-I am okay. I am just tired.” Minato faked a smile.

“I am going to check something outside first. Naruto, you clean the living room.” “Eh?” Naruto complained. Kushina looked at Naruto with a deadly glare. “R-roger!” and he rushed to the living room.

Minato was confused. He didn’t understand anything at all. But then, a dark figure showed up. They wore a mask.

“Who are you?!” Minato asked the masked figure. “Instead of thanking me, you treat me this way. As expected.” The masked figured scoffs. “Thanking you?” Minato grabbed his flying raijin kunai. “Minato?!” Kushina was shocked. She ran towards Minato and hugged him. “Minato, are you really okay?” Kushina asked him.

Minato was finding that masked figure, but they’re nowhere to be found. “I-I was just practicing a new jutsu!” Minato had to lie so she won’t get su*ious. “But, Minato.” Kushina’s eyes are teary at the moment. “It’s impossible that you will create a new jutsu.” Kushina told him. “What do you mean?” Minato asked. “You don’t have chakra anymore.” She replied.

“What?” Minato was speechless. But he had to play his self like a fool. “Ah, no! I was just joking around.” Minato wanted to cheer up Kushina.

“MOM! DAD! The festival’s starting!” Naruto shouted. Both of them went outside and looked at the streets. Confetti everywhere, music playing and it’s lively.

Everyone in Konoha was happy. Minato looked at his wife, Kushina was smiling so bright. “Maybe she forgot about what happened.” Minato thought.

“Minato.” Kushina called him. “Yes?” Minato replied, and suddenly got a kiss from Kushina. “WOAH?!” Naruto was confused about what happened. “Hehehe, mom, I don’t know you’re this naughty.” Naruto teased his mom.

“Ah, life is good. How I wished it will be like this.” Minato thought. At this point, Minato finally understood everything. This masked figure, used Tsukuyomi.

And everything in Minato’s sight was fading, and went to eternal black. There, he met the masked figure again. “Now, are you satisfied, Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze?” they asked. Minato nodded. He thought this person, is not evil, but a kind one. For Minato, this illusion was a blessing.

“Who are you?” Minato asked. The masked figure didn’t say a word. “What you did while you’re alive was nothing compared to this.” They answered. “It’s sad when you have to die after your son’s birth.” And the masked figure disappeared.

4TH Great Ninja War Timeline

Naruto finally bonded with Kurama, and their powers become one. Then, Naruto, said something to Kurama. “You know, I had a dream. A dream where my father and mother are still alive and was still here. It was a festival, an anniversary when Konohagakure was created. It’s funny my father doesn’t remember anything at all while I was having that dream.” Naruto cried.

After all the hard work of all shinobis, all the reincarnated ones are now going to be disappeared. “Dad!” Naruto called Minato. “What is it? Naruto.” Minato replied. Naruto took a deep breath and told him” I had a dream, it’s pretty weird. You and mom were there. There’s a festival going on in Konoha and-” unable to finish his own sentence, Minato patted his head. “Naruto, do you remember everything what happened on that dream?” Minato asked. Naruto looked up and saw Minato smiling. “I do!” Naruto replied. “It’s the only dream that I won’t forget. It’s precious to me.” Naruto looked down, he felt sad. “The festival actually happened 5 months ago. So…” Naruto’s voice cracked. “Naruto, that dream you had, is what I’ve seen after I died.” Naruto was shocked upon hearing this.

“I am sorry if I didn’t make it up until now.” Minato apologized. “But I’ll promise, I’ll protect you, no matter what.” Minato smiled.
