Sarutobi finally arrived at the scene and personally escorted the Minato family back. Minato was already exhausted, and Flying thunder god couldn't be used anymore, so he had to walk back with Kushina.

Seeing that Minato completed the seal of the nine tails, Sarutobi was completely relieved and told Minato to rest and, after confirming nothing major incident had happened. Sarutobi left to arrange the aftermath and to investigate the mysterious masked man.

"According to Minato, the mysterious man smashed half of his body with his Technique, but there was nothing left at the scene except for a big pit, and blood

"It seems that he used that space ninjutsu to escape, or... he was taken away by his accomplices, and he even cleaned up the traces of the battle. "

Sarutobi pinched the moustache on his chin, thinking that an enemy could easily break through the Konoha barrier, his face became heavy.

"Anbu, continue to search and alert the surrounding area. If there is another attack, notify me as soon as possible. If there are no changes, the residents will be notified tomorrow morning to end the evacuation. In addition, the damage should be calculated as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

The night finally passed, the birds fell on the tree tops and combed their feathers, the autumn sunlight shone through the window on the sleeping family, and the baby who woke up first burst into tears, awakening the couple.

It's not that Naruto is ignorant and insists on waking up his parents, but Naruto...wetting the bed...

As a baby, Naruto couldn't remember how many in this regard, no matter how embarrassed he was, he had to do it.

However, Minato and Kushina were really in a hurry before they realized what was going on. The couple smiled and helped Naruto take a bath and change diapers, and then fed him again.

Naruto stared at his parents with wide eyes and found that Minato's face was still a little tired. After all, there was a war and he only slept for a few hours at night.

However, Kushina has already got out of bed and was preparing breakfast and doing housework, should it be said that he is a member of this new family?

In his previous life, Alex aka Naruto, didn't have parents; he would be lying if he said he didn't want them.

Naruto thought about it, 'My parents had finally survived. I don't know if Obito has managed to escape or died at my father's hands, and I also awakened the signature ability of the Uzumaki Clan, the Adamantine Sealing Chains. 

Hey, is my hair now yellow or red? And without the trouble of the third Hokage, should I be called Naruto Namikaze or Naruto Uzumaki?'

Thinking of these messy things, Naruto slowly fell asleep. Babies are like this, they sleep a lot, and Naruto consumed a lot of energy yesterday. The adamantine Sealing Chains should not be used by children.

In the original anime, Kushina used a chain when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. At that time, Kushina Chakra was said one of the largest chakra reserves. She almost collapsed after tying nine tails for a while. How much should chains consume from Naruto? 

Minato watched Kushina put the sleeping Naruto down on the bed, change clothes Without much noise, and say, "Then I'm going out; I'm afraid I'll have a lot of work to do today."

"Hmmm, I will take care of Naruto."

This time, with the Nine-Tails rampage, Konoha lost a lot of infrastructure. The most conspicuous thing is that the street opposite Hokage's office was mostly destroyed. 

However, due to the timely response compared with the original, the third Hokage before Obito attacked Konoha with the nine tails, received the news and began to evacuate the civilians, and there were few civilian casualties.

The casualties of ninjas are also much less. It is worth mentioning that Iruka's parents, Kohari and Ikkaku, were lucky to survive. Only the Anbu were killed when Obito attacked Kushina, and the Jonin delayed the Nine-Tails.

Pov - Minato

As Konoha's fourth Hokage, Minato does have a lot to do. Looking at the report from the third Hokage about the people of the village, silence fell in the office. 

The next thing to do is to arrange for civilians to go home and organize people to clean up the damage and prepare for reconstruction.

Arrangement of the compensation for the dead ninjas, The memorial service will be set in three days, the dead ninjas will be engraved on the memorial tablet as heroes, and their vacant positions will also need to be refilled. 

They strengthen the defence of Konoha and the borders of the land of fire, in addition to being vigilant against the companions of the masked man, but also to prevent other great powers from taking advantage of the situation, especially a person who does not want to be named the fourth Raikage, and always wants to find an excuse to increase the tensions between the borders.

"Send Kakashi to continue to protect Kushina and Naruto. Kakashi originally asked permission from me to protect Kushina during pregnancy because he wanted him to witness the birth and birth of a new life to dispel the darkness in his heart. Now this has happened, I don't know if this child will be affected, so let him continue the task for the time being"

Konoha's perception barrier needs to be improved. This time, the enemy invaded silently, and the nine tails were channelled in the centre of the village. If the enemy made such a move during the war, the consequences would be unimaginable.

As for Uchiha... This time the guards played a big role in defending and evacuating the public. It stands to reason that there is no need to increase surveillance, but the Konoha Council may not agree.

After all, when the nine tails were controlled by a masked man, Mangekyou Sharingan Eyes were used to attack Konoha, and Almost everyone thought it had something to do with Uchiha, and he had to have a good talk with Big Brother Fugaku, The conflict between the Uchiha family and the village must be resolved.

End of POV... 

Minato quickly signed documents one by one and issued one command after another, Konoha worked like a well-oiled machine.

"Knock. Knock", After arranging the important things, the door of the office was knocked.

"Please come in." Minato raised his head and saw that the door was pushed open. Then Danzō Shimura, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitocado, Third Hokage came in, and all the Konoha four clan heads. 

Minato put down the document in his hand and asked, "Third Hokage? All the elders, why are you here? Did something happen?"

Third Hokage took the lead and said, "We are here to discuss about what to explain to the public about this incident. After all, some things need to be kept secret and are not suitable for disclosure. Many civilians and Genin don't even know what jinchūriki is."

At this time, the four clans didn't know about the matter of Naruto being a jinchūriki, Because Kushina was still alive, they took it for granted that the nine tails were sealed and returned to Kushina's body. 

After all, the tailed beast was divided into two halves to seal the fact It's too unbelievable, and Minato has not decided whether or not to reveal Naruto's identity, so he hasn't told them yet.

Minato frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I want to publicly apologize to the people for causing such a loss. In the end, it was my duty as Hokage that I failed to defeat the enemy immediately."

The third Hokage took a cigarette and exhaled the smoke: "No, rather than apologize, I think Konoha needs a hero, and the people now need a hero to inspire people. As Hokage, you should be a hero who sealed the nine tails, and you did seal the nine tails."

Koharu and Mito nodded in agreement.

Only Danzo expressed dissatisfaction, but he was displeased by the words "Minato is Hokage" by the third Hokage, so he could only snort and leave.

As a result, a message circulated among the Konoha villagers that day: "Last night, when a nine-tailed demon fox attacked the village, the fourth Hokage decisively ordered the evacuation of the people, and many ninjas desperately tried to buy time, and the fourth Hokage's wife Kushina gave birth to a child that night. Regardless of his physical weakness, he joined hands with the fourth Hokage to fight Nine-Tails, finally sealed it and saved Konoha Village."

For a time, the popularity of the fourth Hokage and kushina soared, and they were called "a hero couple", and their sons also became the sons of heroes.

After Naruto heard the news from his parents, he silently complained in his heart, what are the heroic couples called, let's just call them the Legend of Fox and Heroes...

…..... 

Three days later, the sky was gloomy and it was raining lightly. People were mourning in black clothes with white flowers in one hand and umbrellas in the other hand near the memorial monument.

Naruto was also carried out by Kushina, Next to Kushina was a white-haired masked man holding an umbrella with expressionless eyes and Kushina, who was usually full of energy, had an unusually serious expression today.

Hokage has already set off ahead of schedule, and today's memorial ceremony is presided over by him. 

In addition to the relatives of the deceased, representatives of major families will also attend, and some people voluntarily want to meet the hero.

Naruto felt the heavy atmosphere of the scene in Kushina's arms, listened to the desolate cries of people, and finally had a preliminary understanding of this cruel world.

There is never a shortage of battles here, and there are always many deaths here. There will be all kinds of tragedies here, and here...it's not my favourite anime that, I have seen. It's real life, not an anime where you only watch, if not strong enough next is your death waiting for you.
