Fate.

Minato has always protected you from bullies when you two were kids, taken care of your clumsy injuries during missions and silently watched you from the shadow for any problem.

it was like this since you came to konoha, the only person who you truly trusted more than your own parents. minato. the man that you unexpectedly married when you two got old.

the happiest, most connected couple in konoha. could anyone separate you two? never.

not until minato became a hokage, and you, gave birth to your first little child with your beloved minato, who was meant to take the burden of your nine tails inside of you.

Now, you, as weak as ever, slowly clung to your little naruto, tears rolling down your cheeks as minato went to deal with the nine tails, like the strongest hokage he was.

”naruto..i’m sorry..” you quietly whispered into his little soft ear, that was completely oblivious of what was waiting for him. your lips twitched before you felt minato’s quiet presence behind you, dark, dangerous. yet still undeniably desperate and weak for your state that always broke him whenever he saw it.
