Hope of the Uzumakii

Prologue

Twenty-one years ago, after Naruto Uzumakii saved the entire nation from the Fourth Great Ninja War - with the help of Sasuke Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and Kakashi Hatake - he proposed to Hinata Hyuga, having finally realised how much she meant to him, after he had been so dense not to notice her feelings to him - that she had since he saved her when they were not even five. However, after having accepted his proposal, and peace fell on the entire nation once more, they found out that they were going to be parents. But, Hinata had a secret that only those from her clan knew about - Hinata had a demon within her. Knowing the troubles Kushina Uzumakii - Naruto's mother - had gone through with Naruto, she knew that there was a high chance that this baby could be born quicker than normal because of both Naruto and Hinata having demons within them. There was one major fear playing on the young mother's mind, and that was depending on how powerful the baby would be when born, Hinata knew she may not be able to be around to see her child grow up, as she would be forced to leave.

After only five months had passed, Hinata had been placed in hospital and in the care of Lady Tsunade, as Hinata was nearly ready to give birth. She knew that this would happen and that within the next week at most, she would know her fate. However, that week passed quickly and before she knew it, she had given birth to a lovely baby girl. But, the child had been powerful like she feared, as Naruto had to place a seal on their little girl to contain her power until the time was right. As soon as her strength had fully returned, Hinata knew she would have to leave. However, she wouldn't just be leaving her child, she would be leaving her true love as well.

Before Hinata could leave, Tsunade had informed them both that even though their child was healthy, and could now go home, there appeared to be some sort of infection within the child, but as far as Tsunade could see, it was nothing serious. By the time they got home, Hinata said 'goodbye' to their daughter - who had been named Mitsuki Alyssa Uzumakii, and who was asleep - and had headed downstairs with her things to say 'farewell' to her fiancé. Naruto understood why she had to leave, but he also made her promise to return so he could marry her, and they could be a true family, which she agreed to, with a kiss, before leaving.

Naruto was going to miss her, but he knew he would always have a part of her within their daughter. Even though Mitsuki looked more like him, the soft smile she gave made him think of her. He didn't care that he was going to be a single parent, as it meant all his time would be focused on Mitsuki. However, he hadn't realised that as she grew older, the infection within her grew worse. By the age of just five, it was clear something wasn't right with Mitsuki.
