Suddenly everybody felt malice coming from the baby.
Everybody looked towards the infant to see a creature starting to form.
Everybody got scared as they saw the creature fully formed into Rika.

What is that monster." Hiruzen thought
Kushina was about to yell at Rika to get away from her son. She didn't get a chance.
"How dare you try to kill Yuta" Rika screamed before rushing towards the restrained Nine-Tails
Rika tore the Nine-Tails limb from limb until she decided to devour it.
As Rika was busy eating the Nine-Tails she could feel all it's emotions. Pain, Hatred, Sadness and Anger. She felt no remorse and kept on devouring it.
"Father why did you bring in me into this cruel world. What did I do to deserve this suffering" Nine-Tails thought sadly
After Rika finished devouring the Nine-Tails she returned to the child and vanished.
Everyone was baffled by what happened. Minato and Hiruzen felt distraught because if the other nations learn of the death of the Nine-Tails they would attack the village.
Knowing they were gonna die soon Kushina and Minato said their final words to their son.
Kushina looked at Hiruzen who was standing outside the barrier she made.
Promise me you will take care of him." Kushina
I promise." Hiruzen
"Lord Hiruzen make sure the other villages don't find out about the Nine-Tails fate." Minato
Hiruzen nodded.
Afterwards they died.
As Kushina died her barrier came undone. Hiruzen went to pick up the child. As Hiruzen picked him up. He told the ninjas to never speak of what happened.
Hiruzen didn't get a name from them but assumed that the boy's name was Yuta. Since Rika had called him that.
After placing Yuta at his home and leaving a shadow clone with him. Hiruzen called an emergency meeting.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was feeling quite a plethora of emotions as he walked into the council room.
Sorrow, because so many people died in the attack of the Nine-Tails, especially the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth's wife, Kushina Uzumaki, and his own wife Biwako Sarutobi.
Guilt, because he was unable to help those who died.
Joy, because Minato and Kushina's son was delivered safely.
Confusion concerning on how the Nine-Tails managed to break out of the seal and appear in the middle of the village so suddenly with two seal masters watching the seal (even if one of them was going into labor at the time)
Annoyance that he had to take the Hokage hat again (at least until he found someone better for the job, and he already swore to the Sage of the Six Paths that he would start looking in less than a week). All in all being Hokage meant four things: Respect, command over Anbu, counsel meetings, and finally the bane of all kage, daimyo, and clan heads everywhere...PAPERWORK.
And fear because of the absence of a jinchuriki.
However he decided to bury all of these emotions as he sat down in the Hokage seat of the council room. The moment he sat all eyes turned to him, totally ignoring the little blue bundle of towels in his hands. A flood of questions were launched directly at him, but the rising of his hand effectivly silenced the room. Hiruzen pointed his hand at Shikaku Nara, who immediately stood and spoke, not showing his normal lazy attitude.
"We've lost nearly a third of our shinobi forces during the attack. The amount of Jounin deaths are overall low; however, our chunin and genin forces have been lowered Academy was also destroyed, however that can be rebuilt in a matter of days with enough manpower"
Hiruzen looked up at the scared Nara and calmly said, "I want a full report including numbers by this time tomorrow"
"Hai Hokage-sama" he responded
Hiruzen then turned his head to the Uchiha clan head Fugaku "Fugaku-san during the attack, I noticed a distinct lack of Uchiha manpower." Hiruzen
Fugaku responded, "Hokage-sama, the majority of the Uchiha clan was concerned with evacuating civilians before entering the battle. When you look at Nara-san's report tomorrow, I am sure that you will find the names of two or three dozen Uchiha that died." As he spoke there was the smallest hint of irritation in his voice, showing that he was not happy with his clan being questioned.
it wasn't Hiruzen, but Danzo who responded first. "But Fugaku-Dono wouldn't it be better to have your clan on the battlefield? Didn't Madara Uchiha prove that the sharingan is capable of controlling bijuu?"
"That would be the case", Fugaku quickly countered, "however,that can only be done with the mangekyou sharingan, which none living in the clan have."
I'll begin taking questions." Hiruzen
Many council heads raised their hands. "Hiashi, you may go first."
Hiashi Hyuuga stood. "Thank you Hokage-sama. Since you have retaken the position are we to assume that the Fourth has has-"
"Yes he has, unfortunately." Hiruzen cut in not allowing the Hyuuga to finish. "It is a bad turn of circumstance, but what is done is done. Next question. Yes, Danzo"
"What happened to the Nine-Tails" Danzo got right to the point. "I am aware that tailed beast can't truly be killed, so what happened?"
Hiruzen sent a small glare towards Danzo. He was hoping to avoid that subject entirely, but now that it's been put out others will seek the answer as well.
"I am afraid I can't reveal the identity of the jinchuriki. Minato made me promise not to reveal the identity of the Jinchuuriki." Hiruzen lied
Danzo wasn't pleased with this and wanted to press on the subject but he stopped as he felt the killing intent Hiruzen directed at him.
After a while the meeting ended.
Hiruzen felt tired when he got home.
His face brightened up as his saw Yuta giggle.
"Sadly I won't be able to spend much time with you Yuta." Hiruzen thought
