42 Naruto Is Born

Hiroki had stayed in Hidden Fog Mountain for two and a half months practicing when he felt the kunai he had given to Minato signal for him to return. When he did, he saw that Minato and Kushina were together in their home with extremely happy faces and Jiraiya, Kakashi, Rin and Obito were there as well. Once Hiroki saw their faces, he knew that Kushina was pregnant of Naruto.

"Minato-ni, Kushina-ne, what happened. Is there anything serious happening?" Hiroki asked already knowing the answer, but faking a worried look.

"Hiroki, it's good that you are here with us. We have invited all of you to tell you that... Kushina is pregnant. We're going to have a baby." Minato said. Once he said that, everyone started congratulating them and giving their best wishes. After the celebration was over, only Hiroki and Jiraiya stayed.

"So, do you guys already know the baby's sex? Is it a boy or a girl?" Hiroki asked.

"Hn. It's a boy." Kushina said as she rubbed her belly with love.

Minato then looked at Jiraiya.

"We're going to give him the name of the main character of your first book, Jiraiya-sensei. He's going to be called Naruto."

Six months later, on the Twenty Third day of the month of July, Sasuke was born. Two days later, Hiroki had gone to visit Fugaku and his family.

After two and a half months, the Tenth day of the month of October arrived. Hiroki woke up early a prepared himself. He knew that if Black Zetsu were to do something, it would be the day of Naruto's birth.

'You don't know what is coming for you, Black Zetsu.' Hiroki thought to himself as he subconsciously released a crazy amount of killing intent.

When night time was arriving, an anbu arrived in front of Hiroki's apartment.

"Hiroki-sama, Hokage-sama has asked you to present yourself in his office."

Hiroki then instantly teleported next to Minato.

"Minato-ni, is it what I think?" Hiroki asked.

"Hn. Kushina's water broke. I can't be there with her since I'm Hokage and Kakashi can't either since I had handed him a mission two days ago and is not in Konoha anymore. I need you to guard Kushina and not let anything happen to her and Naruto. You know that Kushina is a Jinchuuriki and when they give birth to a child, the seal weakens and there is a big chance that the tailed beast will be released. Please protect Kushina and out child. There is no one other than you that I can put one hundred percent on my trust for this." Minato asked Hiroki.

"You don't need to ask me for this. I will do it, ni-san. Rest assured that I won't allow anything to happen to them. I'll inform you through this seal if anything happens." Hiroki said while handing Minato a communication seal.

Minato had prepared a hidden place to have Kushina give birth. Hiruzen's wife was there helping Kushina. Hiroki arrived and Kushina saw him.

"Kushina-ne, hang in there. Naruto will be with us shortly." Hiroki said, comforting Kushina and forcing strengthening the seal to keep Kurama at bay. The biju wanted to use this moment to free itself, but Hiroki used all his concentration to keep the bijuu sealed inside Kushina.

Shortly after, Kushina screamed as she forced Naruto out. Naruto cried shortly after that.

"Minato-ni, Naruto is born." Hiroki said and before he finished the last word, Minato appeared next to Kushina.

"My son. Minato, our son. He has your hair and eyes." Kushina said weakly. She had used a lot of energy to give birth to Naruto and she didn't have a lot of strength on her body.

"Hn. And he has your face. I hope he has your personality, Kushina." Minato said as he placed Naruto on a crib that was prepared for him beforehand.

After Minato did that, a black substance came out from the ground and grabbed Naruto. It was Black Zetsu.

"Get away from the jinchuuriki or you can say good bye to the child." Black Zetsu said as he held a kunai touching Naruto's body.

Kushina, who was laying down on the bed she gave birth, saw the scene and felt great despair.

Minato and Hiroki did not make any moves and Black Zetsu used the opportunity to throw Naruto in the air and moved fast towards Kushina. Minato jumped and grabbed Naruto. Hiroki sped towards Kushina and Zetsu, trying to grab the black being, but he had already started moving underground.

"Damn it. Minato, find a safe place to place Naruto. I'll be going after Kushina using the Hiraishin seal placed on her." Hiroki said as he teleported using the Hiraishin seal on Kushina as coordinates.

Once he got there, he saw Kushina with her arms opened while being tied with black sealing chains and behind her was the statue of Gedo Mazo with it's mouth opened.

"You are too late Hiroki. The kyubi will be the first to be absorbed and will be the kick start of bring mother back." Black Zetsu said as nine dragons started absorbing Kurama's chakra from Kushina.

Hiroki's eyes became like fire as he felt great anger and hatred. His sharingan opened and spinned. He entered sage mode and unsheathed his tanto.

"I'll fucking kill you. Even if it's the last thing I do." Hiroki said as lightening and fire chakra enveloped the blade of his tanto and held it in a reverse grip. On his left hand, he created a rasengan and then it instantly became red as it blazed with fire.

Hiroki then stepped on the ground and it instantly blasted from the force. In the next instant, he appeared in front of black Zetsu while he thrusted the rasengan towards his chest and threw his tanto towards the gedo mazo statue that was absorbing Kurama's chakra from Kushina. Once Hiroki felt that the rasengan made contact, he teleported towards his tanto and sped even more towards the ten tails husk.

"Senpo: Inazuma to Hi no Ha" Hiroki yelled as the size of the chakra enveloping his tanto extended and became hundreds of time larger. Hiroki sung it towards the statue. After the swing, he condensed the chakra once more to the size of the tanto's blade and thrusted it at the center of it's head. Hiroki then spread the lightning and fire chakra from the blade into the statue. As he did that, the statue started to disintegrate itself from the first slash and also from the center of it's head. After a few seconds, ashes started to fall from the sky.

Hiroki took a glance at where Black Zetsu was and only saw a large crater. He then looked at Kushina and saw her starting to fall as the chains binding her, disappeared. He instantly appeared next to her and held her from falling. In the next second, Minato arrived next to them and saw Hiroki with Kushina.

"Naruto. Where is Naruto?" Kushina asked weakly.

"Naruto is in a safe place. Let's leave here so we can go and stay...."

"Roooooooooooooooar"

A thundering roar was heard by all of them. They looked towards the place of origin and saw a dark red nine-tailed fox.

"The Kyuubi." Minato said.
