ReLIFE: Team Minato - Daybreak

ReLIFE: (25)

Kushina hissed as she walked, and Kakashi looked behind him, a worried look on his face. "Are you alright, Kushina-san?"

"Yeah, Rin healed everything, I'm just sore,-ttebane. Don't mind me." She replied, and kept walking, Team Minato exchanged looks, but didn't say anything.

"Well, we are almost here. I'm going to use Flying Thunder God and get us there." Rin said. She tossed the special hirashin kunai into her and, and took Kushina's hand.

"I'll transport us two, because Minato-sensei already has my seal in your house. Obito, Kakashi, you can use Kamui, right?"

"Yeah. I'll take Kakas-,"

"Obito, it's alright, I'll do it myself."

Obito frowned and pouted, kicking the dirt. Kushina restrained the urge to laugh at the fifteen year old boy, acting like he was four.

"I'm just worried, okay? I know you get winded after five uses."

"Heh... that's not true anymore." Kakashi said with a smirk, and Obito looked up incredulously.

"What do you mean?"

Kakashi shrugged, and activated his Kamui, waving. "Tell you later, meet you at sensei's."

He vanished, and the black haired boy shook his head. Looking at Kushina and Rin, he shrugged and gave a two finger salute, disintegrating into his illusion.

"See you guys later!"

Rin placed a hand on her hip and sighed. "Those boys are honestly too much." She chuckled and placed her arm around the red haired women. Making the two finger hand seal, the girl transported the two of them in a flash to the homey house of Minato and Kushina... and little baby Naruto.

"Kushina!" Minato exclaimed, rushing towards his wife. She slumped into a nearby chair. They had landed in the living room of the home, and the red haired women finally let out her exhaustion.

"Hey... Minato. The mission is done... sorry I'm late..." she whispered. Minato shook his head and clenched his fist. Rin looked up and saw Obito and Kakashi already in the kitchen, watching the scene. She went up to join them, and noticed baby Naruto in the white haired boys arms.

"You really love holding him, hmm, Kakashi?" She asked, and Kakashi cleared his throat, shaking his head.

"He was fussing, I thought I'd hold him, okay? And it's been..." He trailer off, and Obito completed his sentence.

"Two days. We know, okay, Bakakashi." He replied with a smirk, and Kakashi turned a little red, rocking Naruto in his arms and brought him closer.

"I... I shouldn't have sent you out... it was too dangerous..." Minato mumbled. Kushina looked over at three teens, who immediately got the message and walked off to the guest room.

"Minato, I wanted to go, alright?"

"I still don't like how it had to be so soon."

"So soon? I'm a shinobi of Konoha. I have a sworn duty to protect this town, -ttebane!"

"Fine." Minato pressed his lips together and began pacing, crossing his arms.

"Who hurt you anyways?" He asked, and Kushina sharply inhaled. Kakashi told her to ask Minato about the O.K.A.G and whatever they were hiding. She already felt something was off, ever since she was fourteen. Minato never was... pure. He always had a hard, war faded look in his eyes. As if he knew and saw things.

"It was a group..." She began, and Minato stopped. Kushina noticed he turned tensed, just like the three teens.

"What... group?"

"Something called the O.K.A.G."

Minato slowly turned his head and Kushina saw a fear like she never saw before on his face. His blue eyes turned frosty and had a glazed look, his lip twitching.

"The... the O.K.A.G?"

"Yes. And... what are you hiding? What are all four of you hiding?" She asked. Minato closed his eyes, and a cold sweat poured down his back.

"What do y-,"

Standing up, Kushina grabbed her husbands hand, her eyes fierce.

"Kakashi, Rin and Obito told me you and that group somehow already know each other. And that your hiding something."

Minato sucked in a breath. "Those three...I'm so gonna kill them."

"Minato! I didn't need them to tell me. Since I met you, since I looked into your eyes all those years ago... I saw pain. Pain and a look of a war torn place. Looks of loss and horror. Minato..." Kushina's voice cracked, and Minato bit his lip to keep from trembling. Bringing his hand and entwined into her own.

"Please... please. Tell me what's going on."

Minato gripped his wifes shoulder and swallowed, shakily nodding. Bringing her close to his chest, he let go of her hold to his hand and wrapped his arms around her, soaking in the warmth she gave him.

"K-Kushina..."

"Take your time. I'm listening."

"Obito, Rin, Kakashi and I... this is our second life."

Kushina shot her head up and widened her eyes, blinking. "S-Second life?"

"In our last life, you and I died by the Nine Tailed Fox, and we sealed him into Naruto. Half in our son, half in me. He grew up as an orphan."

"An o-orphan?"

"Obito was supposedly killed in action on the Kannabi Bridge Mission. He actually wasn't, and was corrupted by Madara Uchiha, who changed his thoughts and drove him to an insane man. A man who grew up instead of living peacefully here, but murdering and walking for peace in a warped way."

"Oh my..."

"Rin sacrificed herself because Cloud Ninja sealed the Three Tails inside her, and to be let go in the village. Not wanting it to be in shambles, she died... by Kakashis hand. Kakashi then came back, and had severe PTSD. I assigned him to ANBU to cope with what had happened. Then when we died, it took even more of a toll on him. But he fought and fought, and eventually was discharged around in his twenties. He then became an instructor for Team 7... consisting of Sasuke Uchiha, who's entire clan was killed off by Itachi Uchiha, Sakura Haruno and our son... Naruto Uzumaki."

"The four stayed side by side, until Sasuke defected to go avenge his clan. Kakashi told me Naruto desperately tried to bring him back but ultimately lost. Years later, Obito returned and began the Fourth Great Ninja War. A long, hard battle was against him and Madara and the Allied Shinobi Forces. They were lead by many leaders, but one hero stood amongst them all."

Minato stroked his wife's cheek, his bright blue eyes shimmering with tears. "It was our son, who fought so hard to protect everyone. I saw him when I was revived to fight. It didn't work. Obito and Madara won, and killed off everyone by Infinite Tsukuyomi. Sasuke, Sakura, Naruto and Kakashi were the only ones. In the end, Kakashi died by Obitos hand, and then the other three were murdered off."

"Because of this calamity, the Sage of Six Paths spoke to the four of us, and we accepted a mission. To protect this world at any cost. With that, he sent us back to our time periods, and here we are... protecting."

Kushina buried her chest into her husbands, tears streaming down her cheeks,. "Obito isn't like that anymore, right?"

"No, dear. He's completely changed."

"Thats...thats good." She said, and looked up. Minato let his shoulders go loose, and she closed her eyes lightly.

"Kushina... do you know who Naruto strived to become?" He whispered. Kushina shook her head.

"No... who?"

"He... he wanted to become the Hokage."

With that, Kushina wailed, and hugged Minato tightly. He pressed her close, and sighed.

"We're here... and this time... everything will go right. I will make sure of it."
