The House on the Outskirts
In this house, Kushina was lying on a bed, cuddling her newborn son. Next to her, Aunt Kaname was treating her for her weakening after childbirth. The first to break the silence was Kushina.
"He's so small and defenseless, do Minato and I really have to put such a burden on him, dattebane..."
"Kushina, we've talked about this. Right now, if you don't seal the nine-tails into him, the entire village will be destroyed."
"Auntie Kaname, I..."
"Don't talk, you need to be strong."
"I'm sorry, Naruto."
Naruto immediately roared after another mayhem, and Kushina immediately began to calm him down. But remembering the rattle they had used to soothe Miroku, she asked her aunt to get it from the closet. When he calmed down, Kaname said:
"He looks so much like Minato..." With those words, they continued to sit in silence and gain strength.
Meanwhile, Minato stood on the Fourth's head and started looking around: lots of destruction, hundreds dead. Fugaku landed next to him.
"Minato, I've failed, I need to break the summoning seal, and only then can I hold him off with my MSH."
"It's bad... How about the evacuation?"
"My men evacuated almost everyone."
"At least there's something to be happy about. Tell you what, take a few of the guys and try to hold Kyubey back with the Third while I deal with whoever attacked us, he'll probably get in my way when I seal Kyubey up."
"Okay..."
"Also, don't be a hero, Mikoto won't forgive me if she remains a widow." To this, Fugaku only waved it away sluggishly. But then Kyuubi turned his head in their direction and began to gather a concentrated bijuudama, pointing it at them. Minato immediately continued: "Go to the Third, I'll handle it..."
"Good luck, Minato!" After he left, Minato folded the seal creating a spatial barrier that swallowed the bijuudama flying at him and moved it away from Konoha.
As soon as the explosion went off, he felt a presence behind him and immediately aimed his kunai at the head of the intruder, but it went straight through.
The enemy immediately grabbed him with the words, "You're not leaving, Fourth," and began sucking Minato into the vortex of space. Minato, meanwhile, used the Flying Thunder God technique to move behind the masked man.
As Minato was transported to one of the training grounds, he began to think about a strategy against this shinobi. When the masked man emerged from the vortex, a cat-and-mouse battle ensued, as the two were as fast as each other. Tobi got tired of it all and put on chains. As his opponent prepared to fight, Minato decided to get him talking.
"Who are you, because only one person could freely control Kyuubi with MSH. Are you really Madara?"
"Who knows..." With those words, Tobi rushed at Minato with his palms open to grab him. Minato threw a kunai at his head, preparing a rasengan in his hand.
As the kunai passed completely through him, Tobi himself almost touched his opponent. Minato simply moved with the Flying Thunder God to the kunai and put a rasengan into Tobi's right shoulder blade.
"You're really fast... Yellow lightning..." At that moment, Minato's cotton touched Tobi's stomach and broke the seal that supported the contract to summon Kyuubi. Minato, stepping back, only now noticed that the masked man's right hand didn't belong to him, but he didn't particularly point it out. He just asked:
"Why would you want to destroy the village?"
"It's not just my whim!"
"Then..."
Tobi waved his hand and continued:
"The reasons are as unimportant as my motives, it's all for the good of the village..." He immediately disappeared, leaving his hand on the ground.
Minato, sealing his opponent's hand in a scroll, pondered on where he might have heard that phrase.
Chaos continued in the village, Kyubey raging at full speed. The Uchiha and the others poured fire on the demon, and the Third pushed the demon out of the village with his staff. As Fugaku jumped onto the wall, Minato moved over to him.
"Fugaku, you can start the conscription seal on him." The Uchiha began to restrain the nine-tails with the help of the MSH, even though he spent almost all of his chakra on it and Kyuubi was paralyzed.
"Minato, I won't be able to hold him for long."
Minato summoned the boss Toad Gamabunta, who jumped on Kyubey's head. Minato himself, bouncing towards them, used the spatial barrier to move to Kushina and Kaname. The rest of the group smelled an explosion on the outskirts of Konoha and rushed there.
Kushina, upon seeing her husband and Kyubey, handed the infant into Kaname's arms and immediately chained Kyubey's chakra and put up a barrier. Minato himself, having spent most of his chakra on moving this demon, crouched down on his knees. The first to raise her voice was Kaname:
"Minato, Kushina needs to seal Kyuubi!" With those words, she summoned the ritual altar. Kyubey came to shock at the fact that he was about to be sealed into an infant, and with a wild roar, pulled his paw out of the chakra chains and stabbed a claw into Kaname's back.
Minato and Kushina who saw this simply couldn't make it in time. But the Uzumaki clan wasn't considered the toughest for nothing. Even with her body stabbed through, she could breathe, and her blood from Kyubey's paw fell onto the infant.
