Small but

Mebuki was not a ninja like her cousin. If he was eager to protect the village, then she knewfrom the very beginning that she wanted to do the family business, namely, run a bakery.But despite the fact that they had different interests, this did not prevent them fromcommunicating. Mebuki was the first to find out about her cousin's love. It's strange thatothers did not do this. He literally has hearts in his eyes when he sees Kushina Uzumaki. Shewas also the first to find out about their first date, about the quarrel, she had to help themmake peace, and about Kushina's pregnancy.

 — You will become Mebuki's aunt. 

The woman was looking forward to the birth of the child. She herself became the mother of acharming pink-haired girl and wanted to introduce the children. But suddenly the Foxappeared and they were evacuated to the catacombs. And when it was all over, the ThirdHokage told about the death of the Fourth Hokage, who died with his wife saving the villagefrom a demon. Her heart sank painfully, tears welled up in her eyes. Minato and Kushinawere dead. They were gone.Mebuki did not understand and did not want to accept her cousin's death. He had been alivejust recently. How could this be?But then a question arose in the woman's head.

 "Where is Minato and Kushina's child? Did he die too?" 

The answer to this question was given to her late at night by an ANBU in a dog mask,holding a sleeping child wrapped in a red blanket in his arms.

 — I apologize for disturbing you at such a late hour, Miss Haruno, but I must fulfill the willof Minato sensei. 

— This is... his son? 

— Yes. His name is Naruto, and Lord Third himself decided to give him Kushina'ssurname. Minato sensei asked in his will that if something happened to him and Kushinaherself, that you take their son under your guardianship.

With trembling hands, Mebuki took the baby from the ANBU's hands. The boy's hair waslike Minato's, but his facial features were like Kushina's. True, they did not have threewhiskers on their cheeks. Tears welled up in her eyes. Her nephew was alive. Glory to Kami,he was alive! What kind of dark thoughts did not visit her about his fate. Fortunately,everything worked out. 

— Lord Third asks you not to tell him anything about his parents. And now your family willbe under surveillance by ANBU officers. Especially Naruto.

 Mebuki was no longer listening to him. The only thing she was thinking about was how inthe morning she would have to buy everything necessary for the second child. Sakura's thingswould not suit him.
