Lone Child (Naruto: Team Minato Generation)

Prologue

"Minato!!!" Kushina called.

Minato, upon hearing the redhead's voice, looked up and ran after her voice, trailing in the air. As he began to get closer to where his beloved's voice came from, he heard crying. He ran even quicker through the forest, tree branches brushing his pale face. The leaves crunched and crumbled to bits as his pounding feet crushed them. His heartbeat began to beat faster.

"Minato!!!" Her voice broke the night's silence again. It sounded more urgent . More...

Frightened.

" I'm coming!", he screamed, " HANG ON!!! I'M COMING, KUSHI!"

The baby... What if she- No. He couldn't think negatively. He had to get to her. He would get to her in time. His baby would be fine. She would be okay. Nothing bad would happen. The moon's luminous light shone upon his face, lighting his blonde hair. As he reached there, he saw Kushina cornered by someone.

"RASENGAN!!!" Minato yelled and thrust his jutsu at the man.

The man flew back and hit the wall. Blood streamed down his face.

"Dattebane!" Kushina exclaimed, as she ran to him, hugging him.

Minato smiled and hugged her back. He looked behind her to see a child. Kushina followed his gaze to the child.

"We have to take her with us." Kushina said.
" You know we can't!" ,Minato replied," She's one of them."
"Dattebane. Please..." she pleaded, her beautiful eyes shining in the moonlight.
Minato sighed, "Fine..."

Slowly, he approached the child. She had ebony hair, as black as the darkness itself, and deep blue eyes that glimmered like shooting stars. Her skin was fair and her lips were as pink as a tulip. She was very pretty, no doubt. As he got closer, the girl's face remained emotionless and she suddenly duplicated into 10. How could she have done it non-verbally? It's never been done! Impossible. Then 10 became 20 and attacked him. Minato dodged the first hit and the second. But the other 18 doubles hit him at once.

"WAIT!" yelled Kushina.
" For what?",the girl said darkly, " For you to kill me?"
"No, we want to take you to our village. Give you a home." Minato said, wiping the red blood from the side of his mouth.
The girl laughed. Except this one had no humour indicated. Minato began to become more scared of tbis girl by the minute, " HOME!?!", she boomed," I have no home. Or family. Or MEMORY."
"We can help you. Trust us." He said.
The girl hesitated, her blue eyes practically piercing his very soul, like as though she was studying him, "Okay. I'll come with you."
Kushina smiled.

"What is your name?"
" Chiyoko. Kin Chiyoko."
Minato asked, "What is your aim?"
" To become the greatest ninja ever known. To top all men. Uh... No offence meant... Ummm-"
" Minato. Call me your sensei. From this day on,you are my disciple, Chiyoko."
The girl grinned and nodded, "Alright then, Minato- sensei."

And thus began the story of the Lone Child.
