Kai Namikaze

Prologue

A scream was heard in the birthing room. The nurses were running in the halls, excited for the baby to be born. This was mostly due to the fact that it was going to be the Fourth Hokage's first child. The midwife had been with Kushina and Minato for the past eight hours, but the baby's cries were soon heard. The midwife smiled at the new parents.

"You did well Lady Kushina. It's a girl." Smiling tiredly at her, Kushina watched the midwife prepare the newborn to be cleaned. A calloused hand held Kushina's, turning the new mother's attention to her husband. He was smiling, his eyes filled with love for his redheaded wife. She smiled lovingly back at him while he squeezed her hand a little.

"You did great Kushina. We're finally parents." She giggled, replying tiredly.

"We finally have a complete family." Minato lowered his head till his forehead was touching hers, smiling all the while. The midwife came back shortly, the baby in her arms, smiling softly at the couple.

"The baby is clean and wrapped. Would you like to hold her?" Kushina was the first to react. Quickly reaching out, she made grabby hands, eagerness shining in her eyes. Minato chuckled at how adorable Kushina was behaving. The midwife giggled, gently handing the baby to its mother. Carefully bringing her newborn daughter in towards her, Kushina gently held her child in her arms. Looking down, she softly pulled the blanket away from her daughter's face to view it better. Once the chubby face was revealed, Kushina smiled and giggled at her extreme resemblance to her father. Confused as to why his wife was laughing, Minato looked at her quizzically.

"What's so funny?" he asked. Looking at her husband, Kushina brought their daughter closer to him so he could view his daughter as well.

"She looks like a mini you, Minato." Curious, Minato leaned closer so he could see his daughter. Just as his wife said, his daughter really does look like a mini him. Chuckling, Minato softly caresses his daughter's head,

"She does look like me. But it would seem she has a mix of our hair color." Touching her daughter's cheek with a finger, Kushina smiled,

"It reminds me of a sunset." Touching a strand, the color on the top of the head was blonde, but once halfway through, it turned into a light shade of red. Agreeing, Minato chuckles,

"She'll be beautiful with this hair. That would mean I'm just going to have to protect her from boys twenty-four seven." Kushina swatted his arm,

"Don't you dare." Their quiet bickering started to wake their daughter up when she suddenly started moving in Kushina's arms. Instantly stopping, they both watched as their daughter slowly opens her eyes. They both saw as her eyes were bright blue, just like her father's. Kushina softly giggles,

"An exact mini you." Not denying, Minato softly chuckles with his wife,

"You're right. But right now, we need a name for her. Do you have a name for her in mind?" Looking at her daughter, she noticed that her daughter was also intensely looking back at her. Looking deep into her daughter's bright blue eyes, Kushina was not only reminded of her husband's eyes but the ocean and with how her daughter's hair color is of that of a sunset. Smiling, she softly caresses her daughter's cheek with the back of her hand,

"Kai. Kai Namikaze." Minato sweat-dropped at his wife choice of name,

"Kushina.... isn't that a boy's name?" Kushina puffed her cheek,

"So?" He nervously chuckled, not wanting to trigger his wife's anger,

"Why not give her a girl's name?" She didn't unpuff her face,
