you gave us the option to EAT THE KYUUBI in the very first (or was it second?) story post.


did you seriously expect us not to take it?

I don't even care about the power, I just want to eat it because you let me.

[X] Just a drop of water in an endless sea

Never mind. You're tired and he's barely a threat. If he ever revives, it'll be years down the road; you can handle him then.

"Minato, stop! What are you doing?!"

... or now, you suppose.

The blond man places you on a low altar but is nearly tackled by his lady companion.

"Please, Minato! It isn't her burden to bear!"

"I can't lose you, Kushina!"

-Hakke no Fuuin Shiki!-

"You... you have to stay with us. Please..."

You find yourself in the middle of a three-person hug.

Well. I can't wait to see what happens on my next birthday.

=

They named you after a ramen ingredient.

You wonder how old your parents are, exactly.

You spend the earliest days of your life after the first in the company of nursemaids. When your mother finally comes home from the hospital, she's pale and a little unsteady on her feet. She reacts poorly to the news that she's permanently removed from the 'active-duty roster', but, perhaps not wishing to dwell on it, quickly throws her energy into caring for you.

Your father you see only on the weekends, and never for very long. He's always very happy to see both his wife and his daughter, though; he reminds you a little of how Kuwabara was with his girls - he has that same expression that says he has absolutely no idea where this is going or what he's doing, but by god he's going to do it well, one way or another.

Kushina takes you everywhere she reasonably can, shoving you in strangers' faces and halfway demanding they compliment you. Her friend Mikoto is the only person who never seems to get tired of it, perhaps because she does the same to your mother with her son, Sasuke, a tiny marshmallow of a boy.

As the months pass, you learn more about the world you've found yourself in. And yes, it is another world; your examinations of the seal on your stomach and the tenant within it have made that very clear. You've been debating whether or not to consume him - he really is a terribly unpleasant person - but you need to first find out if the locals have any way to detect the kind of changes that would cause to both yourself and the seal.

You discover that use of the native variant of ki - chakra - is common among your mother's friends and neighbours, because you live in the ninja village Hidden in the Leaves. The village was founded roughly fifty years ago and has been through four leaders, called Hokage - the latest of which is your father Minato. You also learn that 'jinchuuriki', like yourself, are considered essential to the maintenance of the balance of power between the various ninja villages.

Practising rolling over and sitting up occupies much of your time for the first few months. Having been down this route before, you master your motor skills fairly quickly, to your mother's delight and pride.

You've reached the crawling stage when you and the boy you suppose you're obligated to consider a childhood friend are finally properly introduced.

"Can you say hello, Sasuke?" Mikoto prompts.

Mentally, you laugh. Ninja parents are on the whole ridiculously optimistic about early childhood development; Sasuke clearly hasn't even reached the point where he can call for his mother. The poor boy just stares at you with curious black eyes for a moment, then reaches out to touch your bright red hair. He clenches some of it in a pudgy fist.

After determining that you aren't going to pull away, he unceremoniously leans over and wraps his lips around your nose.

Mikoto makes horrified noises and pulls him off you; Kushina laughs unreservedly. "Well, that was less awkward than my first kiss."



[X] Kick up a fuss. You aren't really offended, but if you're in the playpen with Sasuke you won't hear what Mother and Mikoto-san are discussing in the next room.

[X] Brush it off. You want to look normal? Normal children have friends their own age.

[X] Jailbreak time as soon as they sit down. Sasuke can come if he wants, but that garden has your name written all over it.

... Darn it, we're blonde.

I'd sort of hoped between Kushina's genetics and our past life we'd have red hair.

It'd fit the Rose motif a bit better at least.

It'll be dreadfully boring for now, but I think it'd be best to be a quiet 'normal' person for as long as possible.

We don't really have a goal beyond 'not dying', save maybe 'live in comfortable surroundings'.

That said, I am definitely amused at the Kuwabara comparison.

He married Yukina in this continuity, right?

I don't trust Sasuke not to get into trouble.

Kushina obviously has high expectations for children.

It would disappoint her if we didn't go above and beyond, and escaping is a ninja skill. Right?

I'm sure she'll love it. Probably. Maybe. Well she might.

eh, we could totally have eaten it, it was smiling cutely enough that they don't suspect us to be it in a meatsuit afterward that gave us trouble.

Art imitates life I guess.

That always makes me uncomfortable, aggressive mothers wielding babies at me.

I was totally voting for this anyway

We nearly went three for three on Sannin.

Three for three what? Well, go read it yourself. :p
