"Are you sure he can be saved?" asked a distressed Nara Yoshino, struggling on the maternity bed amidst a flurry of midwives and doctors in the Nara Compound.
I reassured her with a smile as I prepared the materials for the seal. This was going to be a tough challenge. Even from this distance, I could sense the immense imbalance of the monstrous chakra emanating from the unborn child. Even Kyuubi, residing within me, couldn't help but sneer.
||That thing is a monstrosity, even by my standards. It's probably best to let nature take its course and not let it live.|| The Kyuubi snorted inside my head.
'Shut up, Dattabane! It's just a baby, for the Sage's sake! I can't bear to see the look on the mother's face right now. Her pleading is too much for me to ignore,' I retorted sharply to the spiteful fox.
||You've been warned, brat. Mark my words, that thing will destroy us all. Humans aren't supposed to possess such an enormous amount of chakra at birth, not to mention the repulsive sensation of that chakra... Blech! It feels like a void, dark and repugnant, as if it will consume everything.|| The Kyuubi shuddered as it described the chakra.
I couldn't deny the truth in Kyuubi's words. Being a Jinchuriki and an Uzumaki, I possessed the ability to sense emotions and perceive the nature of chakra. And honestly, the chakra emanating from the baby scared me a bit, even making me feel nauseous.
I kept telling myself that it was nothing more than the Nara Clan's inherent affinity to the Yin aspect of the chakra spectrum—just the baby's being too extreme on that spectrum... Dattebane...
'It doesn't matter. It's just a baby, and with my sealing abilities, I can contain his chakra and help him balance his Yin and Yang natures. Dattabane,' I reassured Kyuubi.
Kyuubi remained silent, snorting before closing its eyes and cutting off all communications. I sighed and couldn't help but wish that Minato was here instead of being far away on the battlefield. The Third Great Ninja War was still raging, and he had to be there with his team.
Taking a deep breath, I brushed the last few strokes in the scroll I was writing on, completing one of the most obscure seals we Uzumakis ever created—the Triquetra Circle Seal. It was a seal meant to protect, unite, and endure. The perfect seal to shield the baby and unify his monstrous chakra, keeping him alive.
I felt a sense of pride in my work, but I knew this wasn't the time to bask in self-importance, dattebane.
"Shikaku, I've finished the seal. I can apply it to the baby as soon as he's born," I informed the worried father.
"I... I-thank you, Kushina. I truly hope this can save our baby," he replied with a strained smile, his gaze fixed on his laboring wife with deep concern.
Everyone in the room sprang into action as the labor process extended far longer than a normal delivery, increasing the intensity and focus of the medical-ninjas and midwives. They were stressed, but determined to bring the Nara Clan's heir into the world.
After four grueling hours of struggle and nerve-wracking anticipation, the baby took his first breath, signaling his arrival into the world. As he did, everyone felt an immense pressure emanating from the sickening Yin chakra enveloping the boy, almost like protective armor.
The baby's heartbeat resonated audibly, resembling the rhythmic strike of a drum. Standing there, I was stunned by the flow of chakra I could sense.
The new parents, consumed by worry, urgently requested my assistance. "Please, Kushina, use the seal," they implored.
I nodded solemnly, calming my mind as I prepared the seal. However, Yoshino couldn't help but ask, her voice filled with concern, "Will the seal be visible on my boy? Is there no other way to apply it? I don't want him to bear the stigma of the seal on his body."
Her plea struck a chord with me. I understood her perspective, as my own seal had left its mark on me. It was only because I had Minato as my partner that I had no reservations or worries about my seal. But if that wasn't the case, I dread the idea of how insecure I would've been with others.
I nodded and gently reassured her, "Yes, it's possible to attach the seal to an item and place it on the baby. However, that item must always remain in contact with him," I emphasized the last part.
Yoshino visibly relaxed, casting a grateful glance at Shikaku, who understood her unspoken request. He retrieved a small jewelry box and opened it, revealing a pair of earrings. A similar pair adorned Shikaku's own ears.
He explained, "My father gave me this pair when I became a genin, just as his father gave it to him. I had intended to pass them on to my heir when he reached that milestone, but this seems like an opportune moment."
With those words, he handed me the pair of earrings, and I took one, as only one was needed for the seal to take effect. Focused and careful, I placed the Triquetra Circle seal on the earring.
Success!
Excitement filled me as I gently placed the earring on the baby's right ear. Though his volatile chakra made it challenging to approach him, somehow, Yoshino's soothing words coaxed him into relaxation, allowing me to secure the earring in place.
Huh? I suppose what they say about a mother's love is true...
A smile spread across my face as I witnessed the seal taking effect, observing how the chakra flowed through it, being stored away while his Yin aspect was calmed and gradually balanced. With each passing moment, the oppressive atmosphere that had gripped us faded away, revealing a beautiful little baby boy to everyone.
He had a small tuft of raven-black hair atop his head and the most adorable little nose. One could hardly believe he was the same intense ball of chakra from moments ago. Dattebane!
However, I could still sense that the chakra coursing through him far exceeded what any normal baby should possess. Even now, with the seal in place, he held as much chakra as I did when I first unlocked my own. That only hinted at the vast amount of chakra he naturally possessed, even without the seal.
I playfully booped his nose, causing him to squirm and attempt to protest with his tiny hands. He was absolutely adorable. But I noticed something peculiar—he didn't cry.
"Hey, is this normal? Why isn't he crying?" I inquired nervously, but the others didn't seem all that surprised.
Shikaku appeared somewhat embarrassed as he responded, "Um... well, most Nara kids... are too lazy to cry..."
His words elicited a burst of laughter from everyone present. Truly, this clan remained as lazy as ever.
But the parents didn't mind at all. They were overjoyed to have their little bundle of joy alive and cradled in their arms.
With a content smile, I decided to leave the happy family in peace, making my way out alongside the other extra personnel. Just then, an ANBU member donning a Bear mask approached me and relayed that the Hokage wished to receive a report.
Letting out a weary sigh, I resolved to pay a visit to the old man. After all, he had sent a full squad of ANBU to ensure the baby's protection, just in case.
The situation regarding the little Nara heir was special, and needed to remain known only to the Clan, the Hokage's personal physicians, myself, and of course, the Hokage himself. He seemed insistent on keeping it that way, even from the other village elders. Frankly, I preferred it that way too. I didn't trust those old goons one bit! Dattebane!
Casting one last fond gaze at the Nara compound, a smile tugging at my lips as I recalled the image of the chubby baby, I couldn't help but hope that one day I would have a child even more adorable than him. Dattebane!
Well, if my child inherits Minato's handsome face and gentle temper, along with my luscious red hair and undeniable awesomeness, that would undoubtedly make them incredibly adorable, wouldn't it?
But hold on a second... What if they end up with my face and my temper instead? The mere thought sent a shiver down my spine, prompting me to fervently pray to the sage, pleading for that particular scenario to never come to pass.
Well, now I was left with the prospect of engaging in a rather mundane conversation with the old man Hokage. Sigh! As I made my way toward the Hokage tower, I thought I caught a snippet of Kyuubi's murmurs. It sounded something like, "Sage, save us all..."
