Chapitre 13: Konoha's Disaster
A few days later
Minato and Jiraiya sat in the Hokage office. Minato sent all the Anbu and made sure the room is secure.
"Sensei what do you think about Danzo?" Minato asked bluntly.
"Danzo..huh. He has many ambitions and that chair is the love of his life," said Jiraiya pointing to the Hokage's chair.
"He did many things that Sensei believed his former teammate did for Konoha" Jiraiya contemplated.
"I know you are not one to take opinions as facts Sensei. What did you find out?" Minato asked the toad sannin.
"Before knowing this Minato tread very carefully if you want to do this." Jiraiya warned his student and continued "Danzo's hand is behind many things but not one thing he did has any proof. The only thing we found is he is the one who enticed Orochimaru's desires and helped in acquiring subjects for human experiments. I believe Danzo knows the whereabouts of his former teammates."
Minato clenched his fists hearing this, he took a deep breath and calmed down. "Sensei, have you met Hiroko ?"
"Yeah, a few times together with Sakumo-senpai. Very good kid, *sigh* a pity" Jiraiya said with a sad tone reminiscing about his fallen comrade and remembering his other Uzumaki student.
"Hiroko met me a few days before his last mission. He shared with me some grave information and his findings on that matter. Sensei I need your word whatever I am sharing with you will remain between us." Minato said solemnly.
Jiraiya gave his word. Minato continued "Hiroko's first doubt started with Uzushiogakure. Why didn't Konoha send reinforcements? How did they get information about how to attack them? Why did the delivery of the messages got delayed ?"
"An ally who betrayed, Konoha is the only plausible one," Jiraiya said his findings in a grave tone.
The Yondaime Hokage nodded and continued "Hiroko had further doubts as Senju clan members started dying on the missions. Hiroko deduced the only way is someone in a high position didn't want that clan and research on Wood style."
Jiraiya hearing this started to emit killing intent for the plight of the woman he loves but he quickly controls himself to prevent any questions from Anbu outside the door.
After his sensei controlled himself the Yellow flash of hidden leaf continued "After Sakumo-san took in Hiroko, Sakumo-san helped him with many things as time passed they investigated these things together. Sakumo-san at the same time is looking into his teacher Uchiha Kagami's death. The only Uchiha under the second Hokage even though the second is famous for his prejudice against the Uchiha clan. Uchiha Kagami the only person who died belonging to the second Hokage's lineage, without a body, without an investigation of who killed him."
After a pause, Minato continued "Before Sakumo-san's death his name is in the race for Yondaime Hokage and he is leading it by a mile compared to other candidates 'The Legendary Sannin' your old team sensei. But suddenly he committed suicide, his mission details are known to all civilians and within a year Hiroko also passed away on a mission."
Jiraiya's fists are clenched tightly and soon blood started to drip from his fists. "Danzo.." in an icy tone said The toad sannin and for the first time, he wanted to kill a person. A few minutes later Jiraiya asked "Hizuren?" losing respect for his sensei knowing that Sandaime isn't completely oblivious to his former teammate's atrocities.
"Both Hiroko and Sakumo-san believed the third might know some but found out the majority of them after the deed is done, some might even be what they did together." Minato answered gritting his teeth.
A moment of silence followed
"I will aid you with whatever you need. How do you plan to deal with them ?" said the believer of prophecies.
"Danzo has to die sensei, we don't know about the other council members based on their crimes death, or jail. About my predecessor, I don't know." Minato said after contemplating.
Jiraiya nodded "Does Kushina know ?". Minato could only look down and shake his head in denial "I plan to tell her once we are ready to take action else damn the consequences she will kill them all.". "Tsunade falls under the same category" Jiraiya added.
"I need a few days rest" saying that the second shinobi who could use sage mode left the Hokage's office.
A few months passed by and Kushina's due date is arriving soon.
Sarutobi Hizuren knew about his successor's wife so he suggested a secret location to deliver the baby and his wife Biwako acted as mid-wife. The days flew by and Kushina is set to deliver the child in a day or two, so Biwako went to Kushina's home.
Kushina is very happy and nervous at the same time, she looked down and said "Naruto we can't wait to see you." caressing her belly.
Hiroto is also in the same state as his mother so he hid his best to put up a brave front and hugged his mother. "Kakashi look after Hiroto while I am away," Kushina said to the white-haired jonin.
Kakashi wants to stay with his sister figure but can only follow her words and can only pray silently for the birth to proceed without any complications. Kakashi stood by Hiroto to see her off.
Kushina left the house following Biwako, Mikoto came to see her best friend after nearly half a year as a way to lift her best friend's spirits as she knew the predicaments of the matter.
Kushina made her way towards Mikoto and said "So this is Sasuke huh ? Good to meet your little one. You should become friends with Naruto." poking the baby's cheek.
"Oh, so he is named after the father of Third Hokage huh!" Biwako who followed Kushina thought.
"By the way, does it hurt?" Kushina whispered to Mikoto.
The Uchiha matriarch seeing the look on her best friend's face smiled and said "So there's actually something that scares you, Kushina! I'm surprised."
Biwako took away Kushina swiftly before others could notice and gave the younger woman some tips to help childbirth.
That night
Minato is pacing swiftly by the door hearing Kushina's cries from labor. He was thrown out of the room by his predecessor's wife, even though a few nurses and seal experts are assisting his wife he couldn't help but worry.
A few minutes later a baby cry is heard and a nurse opened the door carrying his newborn son to clean the baby. Minato took a look at his newborn son and wanted to pick him up.
"Hokage-sama your help is needed inside. Don't worry I will clean the baby and bring him to you swiftly" the nurse gave a message.
Minato could only accept and went into the room. Minato saw Kushina's seal breaking and seal experts trying to sustain the seal. The Yondaime rushed to his wife's aid and tries his best to repair the seal.
A few minutes later the nurse who left entered the room and brought the baby in a blanket with an absent look on her face. Minato turned to see her and instantly noticed something odd with the nurse, soon a kunai came through her heart followed by a person with a black robe, and a mask exiting from a spiral pattern.
Minato instantly understood the intruder has some type of space-related jutsu. Kushina who woke up a few seconds ago saw the intruder and groggily called out "Naruto.." and tried to move to save her newborn.
Minato saw this from the corner of his eye and asked Biwako to help with her life and chased after the masked man who held his son.
A few minutes later Biwako noticed the masked man had returned and fought back but the masked man easily made her immobile. Biwako is swiftly losing her consciousness, she saw a blurry image of a masked man making his way toward Kushina.
A few moments later the whole Konoha village heard a roar and saw the nine tails rampaging in the middle of the village.
