The Namikaze Legend

Chapter 2:Storm

Chapter 2 : Storm.

(Timeskip : 4 years later)

It was September 15, an ordinary night in the village hidden in the leaves. The village had recovered greatly in these last few years. Its military strength was back to its full capacity and the village was economically stable.

People were living their lives peacefully in the village. It was all possible because of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze's efforts.

Tonight, the entire village was a lot more livelier than usual. Many of the people were celebrating, the reason was also very special.

Konoha had achieved victory in the third great ninja war on this day. Also today was the day when the child of their beloved fourth Hokage was going to be born.

Almost the entire village was eager to see the child being born.

On the outskirts of the village stood a lone figure. This person was none other than Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina's life had changed a lot in these years, if you could say a major part of her had died during these years. She was devastated when Minato married Mikoto, but she did not bore any ill will towards them. She knew that Minato was always attracted to Mikoto, during their time as a team both of them were very close.

She did her duty as a shinobi, but with each passing day a part of her died when she saw Minato and Mikoto together. She had lost faith in the shinobi world and her life after seeing the horrors of the third great ninja war, she just didn't care about anything anymore.

She could still remember the day when Minato had talked with her.

(Flashback)

Kushina Uzumaki was standing in the Hokage's office. She was happy to see Minato after such a long time, she had been away on missions and as such had missed Minato.

Minato gave her a small smile which Kushina reciprocated it with her wide smile.

"How are you Minato-kun? Its been a long time, Dattebayo!" said Kushina happily

Minato felt a little guilty, he was feeling very sad that he would have to break Kushina's heart.

"Kushina, Its good to see you." replied Minato curtly

"Where's Mikoto? I haven't seen her since I've arrived" said Kushina confusedly

"Its because she is making preparations for her marriage." said Minato dropping the bombshell on Kushina.

"WHAT! WHEN, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? WHO IS THE GUY?" yelled Kushina frantically.

Minato chuckled a little, this was Kushina's typical behavior which he and Mikoto had got used to.

"She was going to tell you, but since you are here I'll tell you. But please calm down." said Minato, he then went towards her and surprisingly hugged her.

Kushina was a little startled by this, but she hugged him too, she felt a lot happy when she was this close to Minato. It was her dream to be with him, to spend her life with him.
