Minato's past

On a rainy day inside a cave in a makeshift bed was a beautiful blonde woman with blue eyes, she had long blonde hair that reached her waist. The woman had a pained expression on her face. Next to her was an old woman with white hair and a wrinkled face showing her long years of life who held her hand 

"Push Miss Hikari, with all your might." 

On the other side of the bed a blond blue eyed man with large dark circles around his eyes had an expression of tiredness and worry was anxious for the birth of his child 

"Aaaaaaaahgh" Hikari moaned as she pushed. 

"It's already here ma'am a little more" exclaimed the elderly midwife. 

After a few more pushes a blond baby had been born his cries echoed throughout the cave, the midwife holding the baby wrapped in sheets said to the mother and father. 

"It's a beautiful baby boy, what will his name be Hikari-sama?" the old woman asked the mother as she handed the baby to her. 

Hikari who was now holding her son in her arms had a smile on her face, hearing the old woman's question she turned to look at her husband and said "What will our son Enjin-kun be called?" said with a smile Hikari 

Enjin who was caressing her son's cheek with a proud smile on her face said "Minato, our will be named Namikaze Minato dear" 

Minato who was watching his birth started to cry, finally he had been able to meet his parents and the best thing they loved him they had not abandoned him as he always thought. Jiraiya who was next to him had a smile on his face seeing how his grandfather was happy. 

When Enjin finished saying those words suddenly shouts were heard at the entrance of the cave. 

"NAMIKAZE SCUM COME OUT, JASHIN-SAMA WILL FEAST ON YOUR BLOOD." 

At the entrance of the cave there were hundreds of cultists of Jashin the evil god. 

Hikari and Enjin had a terrified expression, when they had finally been able to run away from these foul cultists they were met again and worse Hikari had just given birth so she had no strength to fight and Enjin had been injured after fighting with hundreds of Jashin cultists in the previous days, he was not in his best condition. 

They knew it was almost impossible to survive this. 

Enjin turned and hugged his wife and said "Run away I will stop them. I love you Hikari, you are the best thing that ever happened to me, protect our son and live a happy life" Enjin said as he hugged and kissed his wife and son who were crying. 

After saying these words Enjin went to confront the cultists. 

Hikari in tears took off the necklace she was wearing, the necklace had the symbol of her clan, the great Namikaze Clan, drawn on it. With the necklace in hand, yellow lightning crackled in her hand then the clasp opened and she pulled out a piece of paper from inside the clasp and began to write a note to her son. 

Outside, there were sounds of lightning and thunder as well as the muffled screams of jashin cultists.

When Hikari finished writing on the paper she put it back into the clasp and closed it. After that she put the necklace around little Minato's neck and then wrote her son's name on a small piece of paper and put it on top of Minato. 

Hikari then bit her finger to summon a big grey wolf who looked at her and said "Hikari-sama what are you summoning me for" Said the big grey wolf. 

"Raito-san please take my son to a safe place" Hikari said in tears, then she held her son in her arms for the last time and said "Minato-chan I'm sorry, I won't be able to see you grow up, I'm sorry for being selfish I can't let your father fight alone. I hope you will be happy and give me many grandchildren. Don't make the same mistake as our ancestors, don't be too arrogant, be nice to women, eat well and most importantly be happy" After saying these words Hikari placed minato in a small straw basket and put him in Raito's mouth "You can take him Raito-san" Hikari said with tears in her eyes. Seeing that Raito had taken Minato away Hikari limped to the entrance of the cave to fight by her husband's side, she knew she was going to die, but just the thought of leaving the love of her life to die alone upset her. Besides, if Minato stayed by her side she would be persecuted by her enemies since they knew her, without her Minato could have a normal and happy life away from the sins and mistakes of his ancestors. 

Then Hikari and Enjin fought to the death against the cultists managing to kill almost all of them, they perished side by side. 

Minato who saw this scene cried inconsolably, he could not interfere, he could only watch how his parents died in the hands of those damn cultists. After a while of mourning the death of his parents Minato's eyes were filled with anger and rage towards Jashin and his followers, anger towards those who prevented him from having his parents in his life. 

Jiraiya comforted his grandfather and left him to cry alone. 

Ten minutes later once Minato had finished crying Jiraiya said "Can we continue?" to which Minato nodded. The world around them thawed, they were now on the outskirts of Konoha following the wolf Raito who was carrying baby Minato to the hidden leaf village. After a while of walking the wolf left Minato at the door of an orphanage he knocked on the door and left when he saw that the matron had picked up the baby. 

Jiraiya who was already exhausted decided to finish the technique and they both came back to reality, for Kushina who hadn't entered the technique it only took an instant.

"Are you okay Minato-kun?" Kushina asked her husband, Kushina felt Minato's emotions with her Kagura's mind's eye and what she felt puzzled her, she felt sadness and anger coming from her husband. 

Minato gave a long sigh then looked at his wife and said "No, we found out what happened to my parents" Minato said to his wife after that he proceeded to explain everything he had seen. 

Kushina who was comforting Minato said "It's all right Minato-kun, you have us and now with our new powers we can take good care of our family." 

Jiraiya who had waited for a few minutes until Minato recovered was looking at the necklace that Hikari had given Minato when he was born. 

"Here grandpa it's time for you to open it" Jiraiya said as he gave the necklace to his grandfather. 

Minato who was now holding the necklace in his hand created a yellow beam and focused it on the clasp, as he did this the clasp opened and revealed a storage space in which there was a handwritten note from his mother and a book with the symbol of the Namikaze clan that was titled History of the Namikaze clan. 

"Can you read me the note Jiraiya-chan?" asked Minato to his Grandson. 

"Of course I will read it grandpa" Jiraiya replied to his grandfather with a kind smile.
