Konohagakure, Day of the Kyuubi attack.
''M-Minato, you don't plan on using that, right?!'' A red-haired woman said while stuttering, her face was full of despair and panic as she thought of what her husband just said.
Her hair was just like burning, fiery flames that danced along with the wind, however, she was heavily injured and had just given birth.
''I'm sorry, Kushina... This is the only option, our son is the only choice, he'll be the Hero of the Hidden Leaf, I'll seal half of Kyuubi on myself and the remaining half on little Naruto...'' Minato, a handsome blonde man, said, he's the famous Fourth Hokage, however, his face was grim, choosing his son as the Jinchuuriki broke his heart but it was needed.
Suddenly, Kyuubi, that had golden-colored chain all over its body, raised its claws and descended it, aiming for the newborn Naruto, that was sleeping peacefully ''No!'' the couple shouted as they took the attack, stopping it just a few centimeters from piercing the baby.
Kyuubi roared in anger, seeing that its attack was stopped and that it couldn't move anymore, however, the red-haired woman ignored it as she started to talk ''My little Naruto, I'm sorry that I won't be able to stay with you and nor will your father... Please grow well, be sure to eat properly, make a lot of friends, also, don't forget to find someone that you love, someone like me, that loves your father with all of her heart.''
Tears gathered in her eyes as they dripped down her cheeks, however, Kushina continued as Hiruzen and a few ninjas looked, their expressions saddened at their condition ''Little Naruto, you're going to go through a lot of pain and suffering but don't let this cloud your eyes, find a goal and live on, I believe in you, there's so much I wanted to tell you, to teach you... I love you'' she said her final words, her eyes slowly closing.
Minato looked at Kushina as his eyes were now filled with tears, giving one last look at Hiruzen, he said ''Please take care of little Naruto, Hiruzen...''
Then, he looked towards his son and smiled gently ''Little Naruto, we've only met for a low amount of time but get to know that I'll always be your father, no matter what happens, I love you...'' he said before doing a few hand seals and clapping his hands, bringing both of them together.
''Kyuubi, it's time for you to be sealed!'' He said weakly as a ghost-like being appeared before him, known as Shinigami, then, Minato said ''Fuuinjutsu: Shiki Fujin (Sealing Technique: Dead Demon Consuming Seal!)''
Minato sealed a part of his and Kushina's soul on Naruto, the Yin side of Kyuubi on himself and the Yang side of Kyuubi on Naruto, in the end, he died with a smile, knowing he saved not only his son but also the entire Village.
A few weeks passed as the funeral of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki was held, the entire Village was saddened, however, it was kept a secret that their offspring was born, Naruto Uzumaki.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was forced to take his Hokage duties once again as he was the only previous Hokage alive 'Minato... I'll take care of Naruto...' he thought to himself before ordering to all of the Ninjas that knew of Naruto's true identity in both ways.
''No one is allowed to say a word about Naruto Uzumaki, this is an S-Rank secret, if the information is leaked, the punishment is death!'' Hiruzen said, his overbearing pressure scared the ninjas present as they said in unison before disappearing.
