Author note: before we start. Kushina survived Minato didn't

*It was finally morning, the nightmare of last night was finally over. While the nightmare of hiruzen has just started, as he had no choice, but become the hokage once more. After Minato's sacrifice*

In the hokage tower

Hiruzen: you were a fool Minato. Nothing short of a fool. You could've gotten me to make the sacrifice, I'm old. I've lived my life. The village needed you, your family needed you, your son needed you more than anyone. But no. You're hero complex came before anything else

*Hiruzen said, he was sat down in a chair he never thought he would sit in again, and wearing a hat and robes, he never thought he would wear again in his twilight years. We see him looking out at the window, and complaining to the large rock face of Minato, at the hokage monument, he sighed as he turned around, and looked at the crib that was in his office, little baby Naruto was sleeping peacefully. Not knowing of the nightmares that happened to him*

Flashback

konoha Hospital

* Hiruzen was sitting in the hospital room after having his wounds treated, and was waiting for Kushina to wake up while he took care of her children. It was a surprise for everyone. Even for the parents. Since they ended up having triplets, 2 girls one named narumi, while the other was named mito and 1 boy, that being Naruto. Hiruzen frowned deeply when a anbu kneeled down in front of him*

Snake: hokage. The council member are demanding your time, to speak with them

Hiruzen: tell them. That they'll have to wait. There still things I must do, before I can meet them. If they have a problem with it.... Well snake, how good are you at torturing?

*Hiruzen asked with a tired smirk. He could feel the snake, Aka anko mitarashi. The girl who was once the personal student of orochimaru, now turned to one of his best protectors. He could feel her smirk, as she gave a short nod*

Snake: as you wish my hokage

*Snake said as she disappeared, letting hiruzen there alone, to sigh and rub his temple, clearly patience wasn't something that anyone in the council have learned. Hiruzen had postponed the council meeting for the time being. The council members had protested, but hiruzen silenced them after he had told them that he would retake his position as Hokage. Everyone was satisfied with that decision, well everyone except Danzō was satisfied with that decision, but that had been pretty obvious for Hiruzen from the start. Tsunade had left the village after Minato's death saying she was going to live at the Senju property in the Fire capital along with Shizune as she couldn't live in the village after everyone she trusted had already died in this cursed village*

Hiruzen" I suppose she never trusted me. Sometimes I don't know, of which of my students I'm disappointed with the most"

*Hiruzen thought, as he recalled the reasons why Tsunade was leaving him alone to deal with all this mess. Tsunade didn't want to see any more deaths. She had even left him her
necklace, saying it was cursed as Minato was the last person she had given it to and he too only for him to died. She had actually thrown it in the trash, but Hiruzen had kept it. The necklace was part of his own sensei's legacy for someone who was worthy enough, to hold on to it. Suddenly, Hiruzen was taken off his trail of thoughts, when Kushina's eyes fluttered open as Hiruzen rushed to her side. She looked at him desperately, tears already swelling in her eyes, over something she already knew. But she still had to ask*

Kushina: Sarutobi, where is Minato?!

Hiruzen: I'm sorry kushina. But Minato is gone

* Hiruzen said mournfully. As he explained what happened while was unconscious. The death of her husband, the release of the kyubi, minato splitting the demon in 3 parts, those parts being: the yin in Mito, the yang in narumi, and soul of the great beast in Naruto, the abandonment of Tsunade. It was a long and difficult conversation, but one he had to have with her*

Hiruzen: and as the masked man disappeared, Minato left us a few moments after you fainted.

*Hiruzen finished, feeling absolutely useless since if anyone was supposed to sacrifice himself for the village, it should've been him, not Minato, but that's not what the cards had in store for him it seemed. He watched as silent tears streamed down Kushina's face. When she looked around, terrified*

Kushina:Where are my children, Hiruzen?!

Hiruzen: alive and well I assure you. Here. I'll get them for you

* Hiruzen said as he stood up, and went to the crib. Picking up the daughters, he handed them to her. Kushina smiled and cooed at them while Hiruzen went back to go fetch Naruto to hand him over to his mother. But Hiruzen's worst fears came true when Kushina slapped his hand away just as he tried handing Naruto over to her.*

Hiruzen: What's the matter, Kushina? This is your son.

* Hiruzen asked in confusion. He saw how Kushina looked at Naruto, she was looking at the innocent child with nothing but utter contempt. As she spoke coldly at the old hokage*

Kushina:Don't call that demon my son, Sarutobi.

*she spat venomously, making Hiruzen's eyes go wide. Kushina pushed herself away from the "demon" that destroyed her life, in so many ways, and managed to stand up from the bed, holding her only 2 children*

Kushina: That thing took my husband away from me! Don't you dare call him my son! He is the Kyūbi reincarnate! Those whisker marks
are proof enough!

* Kushina said loudly, as she sneered at the child. Hiruzen took it all in with wide eyes, before his expression
turned furiously red. He wondered what the hell was the matter with kushina. And he made his objections known as he snarled at her*

Hiruzen: What the hell are you talking about, Kushina?! He just has the soul of the Kyubi sealed inside of him. He is not the Kyūbi! Have you gone insane!? You are a seal master yourself, and were a jinchuriki merely a few hours ago! What's the matter with you?!

* Hiruzen asked furiously while
Kushina returned the look the old hokage was giving him at full force. Emotions were running high in that room, kushina had just given birth, lost her husband, and the demon she was supposed to keep sealed up, was released by a man with a mask. Kushina was not in the right state of mind, but both of them, were too stressed to see that*

Kushina: I told you, I don't want anything to do with that demonic child. Naruto died as soon as Minato sealed the monster's soul in him. Two souls, one of an infant and one of a demon coexisting, you make me laugh! The demon clearly ate my baby Naruto's soul! As far as I am concerned, I only have two daughters!

*she spat with a venom laced voice. Hiruzen was beyond furious. But still tried to make kushina see reason, as he pleaded in his tone. But kushina was too far gone to see into said reason*

Hiruzen: Kushina, please see in to reason. You have been blinded by the pain of losing Minato. Please. See him, see your son for what he is. He is an innocent child in need of a mother. Nothing more.

* Hiruzen said, in a soft tone as he pleaded desperately, trying to hand Naruto over to her again, but Kushina tried to slap his hands again before Hiruzen retracted his arms defensively. Kushina growled at hiruzen, showing nothing but hatred*

Kushina: Do not bring him close to me Sarutobi or I swear will finish what I started and kill him to avenge Minato's death!

*Kushina screamed, in a promising tone with such hatred that Sarutobi knew that she meant it. That's when Hiruzen saw that the kushina, that Minato loved died with him. Hiruzen clutched the peaceful child to his chest protectively.*

Hiruzen: I cannot believe you, Kushina. You have fallen so low, so fast. Minato would be so disgusted by you right now.

*Hiruzen whispered solemnly. Before his eyes grew cold. Instead of understanding that kushina was a grieving woman, with her mind being a hurricane of emotions. Hiruzen took the safest option, since what other choice did he have? He wasn't about to let, any harm come into this child.*

Hiruzen: Very well then. I won't let Minato's legacy be destroyed by your sick mind

*Hiruzen said with hatred behind every word. But to Kushina? She couldn't care less. The woman merely huffed and turned back to her
daughters. Her last rays of joy in her life*

Kushina: do as you wish, with that demon. I will take my daughters to reside in the Fire Capital where an Uzumaki property is situated, under the protection of the Daimyo's gaze. I'll raise my daughters over there and will come back during the time of their graduation, after I am satisfied with their training.

*Kushina said softly. Before she pushed the limit of her hatred, and said something that will forever change the future of the innocent child, that did nothing wrong, but have the soul of the kyubi inside of him*

Kushina: Mito will hold the mantle of heir of the uzumaki, and narumi will hold the heir of namikaze. That demon will hold nothing, as the wife of Minato namikaze and head of the uzumaki clan, I have the power to banished and disown that child. He is neither uzumaki nor namikaze. So don't you dare name him as such

*Kushina said. In her final act of hatred, Hiruzen didn't think he could feel as much disgust for somebody since orochimaru, but kushina proved him wrong, as he could do nothing but give a short nod*

Hiruzen: do as you wish, we have nothing more to speak about, so I'll take my leave. I have a Council meeting to attend to. You can leave the village anytime you wish. The sooner the better

*Hiruzen said as he disappeared in a blur. He reappeared in the hokage tower, where he snapped his fingers, instantly a snake masked anbu appeared in front of him. And hiruzen handed Naruto to her gently*

Hiruzen: take care of him. While I deal with the council

Snake: yes hokage. But...if I may be so bold to voice my opinion?

*Snake asked softly. Anko was still in a state of shock, she made it back to Hiruzen just in time, to see kushina lose her mind, and attack her boy, for something out of his control, safe to say, it brought back some horrible memories for anko. Hiruzen for his part, gave a short nod to the girl*

Hiruzen: you may.

Snake: remember how they treated me, when they learned I was a pet project of orochimaru? How do you think they'll react, when you tell them, that this boy has the soul of the demon that destroyed so much of this village? They're already on high edge, they'll act irrationally. Like kushina did

Hiruzen: I see your point. What are you suggesting?

* Hiruzen asked, honestly. He was too tired to come up with a plan, he was ready to just tell the truth, to get the council meeting over with as quickly as possible. But the snake saved him at the last minute*

Snake: lie. Tell them that Minato managed to destroy the soul of the demon, in his final moments so only his chakra remains. They won't question it, the civilians are to stupid to know that's impossible, and the Shinobi clans see Minato as too much of a prodigy, that they'll buy it. At least that way, this boy will have a better chance at a better life

Hiruzen: hm.

*Hiruzen nodded as he walked to the council Chambers. Leaving anko alone with the boy, anko took off her mask, and looked down at the baby boy. She had a gentle smile seeing the innocent child cuddle closer to the warmth of her chest. Sadly for Hiruzen and Naruto, the night was still far from over*
