1 Prologue
(Morning, Twelve Years Ago, 2 Days before Kyuubi attack)
A mysterious man, with brown hair full of wounds all over his body carrying a bloodied body of a woman with red hair on his back and in his arms there is a small sleeping bundle, the sleeping bundle too have the red hair of his mother
He just kept walking without a single purpose, and for making the matter worse he is on the verge of dying.
"Halt, Who are you, what's your purpose in coming here", A voice suddenly entered his ears
He looked up, only to find himself on the gate of Konohagakure no Sato, this brought him endless happiness and endless pain of separating from his child
"Please...Protect...My...son", the mysterious man muttered while handing the little sleeping bundle to the village guard, It was the last thing the mysterious man muttered before giving up his breath and dying hugging his wife
-------
"What do you think?", asked the 4th Hokage who is standing near a table containing the dead body of the mysterious man and the beautiful red hair woman.
"I don't know about that man, but this woman definitely is... was an Uzumaki, and a very high class one at that, and judging from the fact that the man has still so much chakra even after his death, Minato this man was strong, he was definitely terribly strong", said Kushina who was brought by Minato to examine the body.
Despite the condition she was in, being pregnant, she still came to examine the body because she heard from Minato that the woman might be an Uzumaki, no matter how slim the chances were she had to come.
"What about the child, is there something unusual?", asked Minato being totally official about it
"I can't tell everything at this point, but looking at his hair, I can assure you that this kid contains royal blood of Uzumaki in himself", said Kushina emotionless, but her eyes were definitely soft
"Y-You mean to say that, this kid is from the same family as that of you and Mito-sama?", said Minato as he was shocked
"I am very certain of it, but... I've never even once in my life saw that woman in our family, she can't be my cousin... It's strange", Kushina was totally bewildered at that.
"Is it possible that she is not-", Minato was cut by Kushina
"No... the kid definitely got his genes from his mother and one look at her and I can tell she has royal blood inside of her, she definitely is my cousin... Even if I don't know or remember her", finally said Kushina.
"GOOO...GOOO...GOOO", in a split second she changed her persona and begins to play with the kid, after all, the kid is the family, the little bundle is her nephew.
Minato just smiled helplessly when he saw her playing with the child
"Minato... say, what should we name him", asked Kushina while poking the cheeks of the little child.
Minato smiled and thought for a moment, "Since he is royal blood, why not name him as same of the second Uzukage, the most powerful Uzukage in the entire history"
"Alright, from this moment onward... Your name shall Be Uzumaki Renji"
"Gaaa...ggaaaa", The child waived his hands to show his consent over the matter
"Hee-Hee, Do you like your name... Do you like it... Do you", she continued to play with the child.
While Kushina was playing with the child, Minato the 4th Hokage continued to stare at the dead man
This man even after his death contains so much chakra inside of him, clearly when the man was alive, he was an extremely powerful shinobi definitely at the level of a powerful Kage... Despite that, Minato didn't even once saw this man, and to think that he even fought an entire world shinobi war.
'One Royal Uzumaki, One extremely mysterious yet extremely strong expert despite that these two were hidden why?... No, the main question is, how the heck did someone manages to put this man into this stage... It should be near impossible Right? That woman does not seem that weak either... Is keeping the child in Konoha safe...', he thought while looking back at his wife and Renji playing in her arms.
