Minato gripped his wife's hand. With her eyes squeezed tight, she clutched his hand, panting. Rin looked up at the scene from her seat, slightly distracted from the birth by this show of affection. It was normal for her to see displays of affection during birth, but she had never seen Minato-sensei so much as chuckle in the presence of people. She looked down, back to the birthing. "Okay, Kushina. On three, push." She said calmly. Kushina nodded, a bead of sweat rolling down her face. "One, two, three." Kushina Uzumaki's face crumpled, working hard to give birth. Minato saw this, and gripped her hand harder. He could feel the thump of her heart through her palm. All of a sudden, Rin raised her head, a smile coming onto her face. "That's it! Just a little bit more, Kushina!" She said, watching the baby slip out.
"YEAAAGH!" Kushina shrieked as the baby finally left her body. She relaxed and went into a slump. Minato cut the cord, Rin wrapped the baby in a blanket, and Kushina held him lovingly, ruffling his blond hair. "He really looks like you, Minato," She cooed to both him and the baby. "Hey there, Naruto. I'm your mommy." Naruto responded with the most wonderful screaming Minato had ever heard. He smiled.
"Now we're a real family," He said, wrapping his arms around his wife and baby. Pure ecstasy overtook him as he looked as Naruto's screaming, red face. The high-pitched shriek ran clear through the entire room, sweet music to the happy couple's ears. Suddenly, there was a muffled but loud crash from the Forest of Death's direction. "What was that?" Minato said, lifting his head to look out the window. Outside, he saw a gigantic fox in the distance, its nine tails thrashing. "Crap." Minato looked into Kushina's eyes. "Stay safe for me, okay? I need to take Naruto with me." Kushina looked into Minato's eyes with fear and anger.
"Why?" She asked. Suddenly, something clicked in her head. "You're going to use him to seal the fox? He'll be an outcast!" Minato seized the baby from her hands and jumped to the window, ready for his mission.
"Not if I get my way." He jumped out into the open air with his son clutched tightly in his arms. Not the smartest thing he'd ever done, but he landed safely anyway. He proceeded to summon Gamabunta.
He clutched an area of the large toad's skin with one hand, barely hanging on. "Gama-sama, a little help?" He shouted, looking up at the toad's massive figure. Gamabunta shifted a little, helping Minato onto his back. "Thanks."
"Why did you summon me today, brat?" Gamabunta asked as he looked into the distance. Seeing a giant fox on the horizon, he rephrased. "How can I help you with the fox?"
"I'm gonna need to seal it, so once I'm done hold onto the baby and my body." Gamabunta nodded.
"Yeah, sur- wait, your body?" However, it was too late. Minato kept on urging him forward.
Soon, they were face to face with the giant fox. Minato went into a fighting stance, holding the baby in one and and making seals with the other. Behind him, a shingiami only he could see appeared. Its hand went through his soul, reaching straight for the fox. It twisted and turned, Minato urging it to reach the fox. Finally, the hand made contact. Minato laid Naruto on the ground, firmly placing his hand on the child's stomach. As he felt himself weakening, he channeled the fox's chakra into his son's newly cut umbilical cord, leaving an imprint of himself. After a few hours, he finished, expecting the eternal rest of death. Instead, he found something much more surprising.
Minato felt himself hit the floor of something, and he opened his eyes. He was in a dark place with stone all around. It had the appearance of the sewer, but at one end there was a wall caging something in. Minato scurried over to the large cage, peering in like a young child gawking at a goldfish. Something made a sudden movement, slowly padding forward on gigantic feet. Minato stood proudly, trying not to show any fear. Inside, he was quivering and crying like a baby. A loud, horrible voice echoed through the room.
"Whaddaya want?" It said groggily. "Listen, I'm not in the mood to talk. Every time I get sealed, it really tires me out. " The voice continued gruffly. Minato's eyes widened in surprise. Was he talking to the Kyuubi himself? As if reading his mind, the Kyuubi answered. "No shit, Sherlock. What else could I be? A flying unicorn?" Minato jumped at this slightly angry outburst.
"Can you tell me where we are?" He asked, finding it absurd that he was asking the most powerful demon in existence where they were. The large slitted eyes in the darkness rolled themselves.
"Inside the Jinchuuriki, obviously. Poor kid. Life's gonna suck for him when I get out of here." The Kyuubi replied arrogantly. "Anyways, who the hell are you?"
"I am Minato Namikaze, the current Hokage," He said proudly. He then remembered that he was dead. " I mean, I was the Hokage. I'm the guy who sealed you." At this, the Kyuubi roared.
"YOU'RE THE DIRTBAG WHO SEALED ME INSIDE THIS WHINY BRAT?" He boomed, shaking the entire room. Minato could faintly hear Naruto's screaming louden. The fox thrashed inside his tiny prison.
"This is gonna be a long eternity."
I know it's a little short, but it seemed like a good place to stop. Anyways, did you like it? Please review!
