Thread: Raising Naruto ( Minato x Kushina )

Thank goodness. Naruto isnt hurt. Minato sighed in relief. In his arms was a crying newborn. Before he could take a good look at his own son- a sharp pain piercing through his foot caused him to gasp. It was a large chunk of wood from the explosion the masked man had caused. The injury instantly brought Minatos mind back to what had taken place just moments ago. He forced me to use the Flying Raijin Jutsu... His target is Kushina and he managed to sucessfully separate us. Minato calmly processed as he removed the sliver of wood from his limb and flung it into the air. I must hurry. By time the wood had struck the dirt, Minato was gone. The Yondaime later reappeared in a safehouse to place Naruto inside of it. Youll be safe here. He told the boy, a warm reassuring smile crossing his lips. The wind howled half-heartedly, wisping through Minatos golden locks. It carried a song of death with as it gradually picked up its tempo and beat a storm all the way up into the clouds. Towering before him was The Nine Tails. Its enormous claws only seconds from flattening a weakened Kushina. The ground shook. Dust and rocks were sent flying about at random with the landing of the its paws. I must say, youre as quick as your nickname. The masked man commented. But youre too late. He added, as he watched Minato escape with his wife. Minato brought Kushina back to the safehouse- where Naruto was. Hed be damned if Kushina died without seeing their son once more. Cradling Kushina in his arms, he walked her over to the large bed where Naruto was resting. Just stay with Naruto. He told her. As Minato laid her in the bed with their child, he could see that Kushinas eyes were wet and flooding with tears. It had been ages since hed seen her this vulnerable. The scene threatened to bring a stream of tears flowing down his own cheeks. It took everything within him to resist the very notion of it. Instead the feeling of sadness transformed into anger as she whimpered, Naruto. His fist were now trembling violently at his sides. The sound of a closet sliding open in the room was made audible as Kushina said, Minato, Thank you. Good luck. Minatos back was turned to her as he had now donned his cloak which were embroidered with the kanji, Fourth Hokage. Kushinas parting words made it seem like this fight could be his very last. However, they only served to strengthen his resolve as Minato replied, Ill be right back. Kushina had previously informed him of where the masked man was headed next. The Hidden Leaf. ---- Back in the Leaf Village, The Nine Tails had been summoned and was now terrorizing its denizens. The Kyuubi was on a warpath- destroying everything in its sight. The population panicked as they were sent fleeing from their shattered homes, and places of work. Some narrowly escaped with their lives. Was Kushinas seal broken?...Despite all precautions, have we failed? Hiruzen questioned as he put on his uniform. Plumes of smoke filtered the night air, as explosive tagged kunai were being hurled at the beast-detonating on impact. A small team lead by Lord Third was doing everything in their power to prevent the demon from killing off those who were evacuating the village. --- A silhouetted figure in the distance landed atop the precipice of a mountain, surveying the nightmarish scene before him. It was Minato. As Hokage, I will protect the village, my family, right now. This is what I need to do. I will not allow it to do what it pleases! The blond vowed. Suddenly, the beast turned and began snarling in his direction. So youve noticed. Minato stated firmly, as the beast charged a ball of violet colored chakra between its maw and launched it at him like a cannonball. Unwavering at the massive size of energy hurling at him. Minato flexed his fingers into a series of hand signs activating a Teleportation Barrier. Do not fuck with me! Minato warned, brandishing his trademark tri-tipped kunai betwixt the palms of his hands. He watched as the attack against him mowed down several homes, and business establishments as it drew closer and closer to him. I have to be careful where I send something like this. Minato said thoughtfully, taking the villagers into consideration. Once in range, the ball of chakra slowly sunk into the mountain side through a teleportation seal. A few seconds later it reappeared outside of the village as a colossal explosion. I must report all thats happened to Lord Third immediately. Minato gathered as he stared down the scarred, barren path of land that was once filled with buildings. A hand crept up behind Minato slowly going for the collar of his cloak, prompting the Yellow Flash to turn around- striking kunai first. Reaming the blade through the temple of this mans skull proved to be futile. It had appeared that his targets body was intangible. The blade continued to drive on through the void, until Minato was being held by his wrist and facing the masked individual from before. Surmising that Minato was at a clear disadvantage, the assassin declared, Im your opponent and its all over. The only option was to retreat back to Narutos birthplace... -- My attack missed Minato groaned as he fell to the ground. What is that jutsu? Minato pondered. The masked freak had tried to drag him into some otherworldly dimension, but he made it out in time. The jutsu the stranger used rivaled- No, it was better than both his own and the Second Hokages jutsu. Suddenly Minato gasped, and let his eyes widened in disbelief as the man materialized out of the spiralling thin air before him once more. I wont let you get away. He taunted. Are you Uchiha Madara? Minato inquired. At the mention of Madaras name, the man removed his hood and let his sleeves fall to his sides. No, Thats impossible. Hes dead. Minato continued. The figure cocked his head to the side and responded, I wonder about that. Minato, growing frustrated with this shinobis games cut straight to the point, At this point it doesnt matter who you are. But why are you targeting the Hidden Leaf? I could say I did it on a whim, or that I planned it, or that its war, or that its for peace. Chains rattling to the ground fell from his right sleeve as he shook them loose- forcing Minato to grimace and brace for an attack. Whatever the case, hes no ordinary man! He can control the Nine Tails and his jutsu surpasses mine and Lord Seconds. And he has some dangerous ideology. 'I must deal with him now.' Minato concluded as transporting to the Leaf would be far more chaotic than engaging him here and hed have to handle the situation quickly because not only was Kushinas life still on the line here, but if this guy was anything like Madara- Then it wouldnt long until the Kyuubi broke free of the Summoning Jutsu Minato placed it under. Entrusting the village to Lord Third was all that he could do now. Charging full speed at the man who claimed that the people of the Leaf had no hope left. Minato plunged his dagger into yet another optical illusion. He anticipated as much though, but the twin layer of iron snaking around his waist and tightening against his abdomen came as a bit of a surprise to him. Still, he managed to escape its bindings as his body flickered away from them. Analyzing the situation Minato realized that his opponent was not only stalling for the release of the Nine Tails, but this battle ultimately would come down to whoever could strike the other first. Minato dashed madly at the chain user to appear as though he were going to cut him, yet again, but this time he flung his tri-tipped kunai through the forehead of their crescent patterned mask. When they were within an equidistance, a foot away from each other. Minato vanished. A bright blue hue of radiant energy illuminated the forest clearing. It was positioned directly above the kidnapper, held in Minatos right hand, in the shape of a whirling cyan colored sphere. The assassin muttered, I win. As he reached out for Minatos cloak, but Minato teleported to the kunai he had previously throne, and warped behind him-crushing the masked man with enough force to decimate the landscape with relative ease. That was my Flying Raijin Level 2. The Fourth told him as he marked his body with a seal. Minato wouldnt let up this time. He would instantly transport himself to wherever the man was, which was high above the crater he now stood in. A fine mist of dust obscuring his position. This is what I meant by elusive. I should have never let my guard dow- Minato didnt let him finish. He was now right in front of the mans chest- close enough to hear his heartbeat, his palm fashioning a Contract Seal on his target's body. With this, The Nine Tails no longer belongs to you. Minato affirmed. The mask man then leaped away to escape and foreshadowed his vengeful return with these words. The Nine Tails will be my plaything again. I will take over the world and there are so many ways to go about doing that. That tone...He was not joking around.
