Minato: "Please hold on a bit Kushina, it is almo…..YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA my hand, my poor hand.", Minato cried as cradled his left hand which was just crushed by Kushina who was going through pain of giving birth.

"Shut up Minato, are you not a man stop crying like a child Naruto is already here.", Tsunade growled at Minato who let loose stream of water from his eyes.

Kushina roared in pain, "Minato when I am done with this I will cut your dick off, how dare you do this to me again."

Minato spoke to Kushina with fear palpable in his voice, "Love he is almost there please calm down.", only for his hand to have multiple bones broken from his sheer strength.

A few hours later a tired and exhausted Kushina held Naruto in her hand, as Minato stood beside her with tears threatening to spill from his eyes as both of his hands inside a cast.

Tsunade stood by her side as she checked over the mother and son duo as a person entered the room with a smile on his face, "My my let me see the newest member of the family."

Tsunade bowed at the newcomer as she spoke, "Welcome master Purehito."

Purohito simply waved his hand as he spoke with a smile, "I am no longer you master Tsunade."

Tsunade simply shook her head as she spoke, "Nonsense even if big brother is now the guild master, for us you always will be the guild master for us."

Purehito gave her a small smile, as Tsunade spoke again, "Do you want to hold my Grandchild?"

Purohito: "Please, I would love to."

As Naruto was handed to him, Purohito caressed the baby with small tuft of yellow hair on his head's cheeks, the baby offered him a toothless smile, "My, what a happy child, congratulations Kushina and Minato."

At that the proud parent beamed with happiness.

Meanwhile, a certain yellow haired boy of 9 years paced vigorously inside the guild hall, as Macao spoke with a small laugh, "Menma calm down your parents will be here soon and with your baby brother."

Menma spoke with a slight hint of worry in his face, "Uncle Macao I am calm, but what if my brother does not like me, what if he finds me uncool."

A reassuring hand brought his attention as Menma turned he was greeted by a serious visage of an 11 year old Laxus who spoke with utmost serious, "Ototo there is no need to fret."

Menma's eyes widen at that as he whispered lowly, "Nii-san."

Laxus gave a reassuring smile as he spoke, "Menma ototo, there is nothing to worry about, our new brother would definitely like someone way cooler, knowledgeable and more likable person some like me over an idiot like you."

Menma's hair overshadowed his eyes as he shook with unbridled fury as pounced on Laxus shouting out at the top of his voice, "I will punch you to the moon for this teme."

As both the boys, fought in a comical cloud the older members of the guild simply laughed at them including Makarov who looked with a warm smile at his two grandsons, before anyone could say anything a flash drew their attention, Makarov turned to greet his sister's family as well as the little tyke who would join their family only for his eyes widen in horror as he looked at them, the trio looked like they had just appeared from a warzone barely hanging to their life.

As the entire guild was stunned into deathly silence as he barked out order, "Take them to infirmary and someone get me Porlyusica now!"

Menma looked at his parents and grandmother with fearful in his eyes cried out at the top of his lungs, "Mom, Dad!", as tears appeared in his eyes as he dashed towards them only to be stopped by Makarov, the look in his face was murderous, "Laxus take care of your brother, I am counting on you."

Laxus nodded fearfully as he dragged a catatonic Menma away from that scene, he himself was not feeling better but he would stay strong for his family for his brother and mainly because his grandpa was counting on him.

A few hours later a tall person with white hair and red tear like marking on his face arrived worried look evident on his face, "Makarov, how did this happen?"

Makarov frowned at that as he spoke, "I do not know brother Jiraiya, I do not know."

Jiraiya: "Tsunade called me a couple of days ago she mentioned them staying with Master Purehito, to think someone managed to deal so much defeat and hurt them so much.", he gritted his teeth as he balled his hands so hard that he drew blood from them.

A horn was heard blaring as a distant announcement was heard heralding the arrival of Gildarts, Jiraiya sighed as he spoke, "I managed to get a message to Gildarts he should be arriving really soon, but how is my grandson is he alright."

Makarov visibly winced at that as he looked down on the floor as a pit formed in Jiraiya's stomach as he stumbled and would have fallen if not for Gildarts to just arrive in time to hold him as he spoke angrily her enormous magical power threateningly to unleash in a moment's notice, "Master where were they? Who harmed my sister?"

Before anyone could say anything Porlyusica stepped outside as she spoke angrily, "Will you all shut up and stop throwing your magical energy around I have people in serious condition in here, Tsunade is showing signs of waking if you cannot keep yourself calm I will not allow you to enter the room and harm my patients."

The men controlled their temper as they entered Tsunade's room who was groaning in pain, when all of a sudden she sat up in hurry only to collapse as an incredible amount of pain hit her, as she coughed up blood, Porlyusica quickly went by her side as she wiped out the blood from her mouth as she spoke, "Calm down you are safe."

The pain was too great for her to move yet she with great will power spoke, "Save him, save Naruto, Purehito took him sa…", she once again lost her consciousness.

Jiraiya was quickly by her side as he tried to touch only to be whacked by Porlyusica who spoke rather seriously, "You doofus I am doing my job, but don't you two have somewhere to be."

Jiraiya nodded as he turned towards Gildarts who nodded as they dashed out as fast as possible, as Makarov spoke, "How, how could he do something like this."

It had been an entire day before they managed to get any form of Purehito's trail, as the duo hurried towards a Mountain range, when Jiraiya suddenly slowed down as Gildart suddenly growled at him as he spoke, "What happen old man don't tell me the old age caught you."

Jiraiya: "Gildarts, what if he is already dead? What if…", only to be punched by Gildarts hard causing him to fall on the ground as Gildarts spoke, "Dead, you will be wishing you were dead if you do not move, Naruto is my nephew something like that is not going to do anything to him, so what will do old man, will you man up and help me rescue my nephew, your grandson or will you be a deadweight."

Jiraiya gave a small smile as he spoke, "Thanks now let us hurry the little one might need a warm bottle of milk", Gildarts gave him hand as he pulled himself up as the dup raced to the ritual spot.

As they reached their destination, their eyes widen in horror as the entire place looked as if an apocalypse had occurred, the entire mountain had decimated as they found large number of dead bodies with horror etched in their face as they tried to run away from something, their soulless eyes shook the hearts of both Gildarts and Jiraiya, as Gildarts spoke, "Master Jiraiya that symbol is that not that of the Dark Guild Grimoire Heart?"

Jiraiya nodded at that as he spoke, "Yes, it is let us try to searching for any clues after all we know that they were supposed to be here."

It had been a few days since the incident and the injured had already awaken up, Tsunade had been distraught angry, while Minato himself was not fairing any better but the worst was Kushina all she did was sit and stare into distant as she laid on her bed, without moving without doing anything like a statue no matter what anyone did they were unable to get any reaction from her.

Porlyusica frowned as she spoke, "This is not good she gave birth a few days ago, then suffered life threatening injuries if she does not care for herself while she is healing I might not be able to save her if this continues."

Makarov frowned at that before his eyes widen as an idea struck him as he spoke, "I will be back soon."

Makarov quickly ran from the infirmary as he made his way towards his grandchildren, as he reached them Laxus looked at him with a worried look in her face while Menma he winced upon seeing him his eyes were puffy and had black bags under them, he took Menma's hand as he spoke, "Menma we are going to visit you mother."

Menma ran along with Makarov as fast as his little legs would allow him closely followed by Laxus, as they reached the infirmary his heart leaped out of his throat as he was greeted by a pale looking woman a far cry from his vibrant and strong mother he once knew, "MAMA!", a cry ripped from his throat as he dashed towards Kushina who for the first time stirred, "Menma", a hoarse voice came from her throat as for the first time she responded as she held onto him like a life line as she cried her heart out.

Laxus upon seeing the scene his eyes darkened as he balled his fist in anger, he had heard tidbits about the incident and he had a faint idea of what had happened as such he swore to himself, 'Purehito you bastard, I swear you on my family's name I will find you and I will give you a slow and painful death.'
