The woman was in tremendous pain as she lay on her hospital bed desperately trying to give life to the child within her womb. There was a sense of urgency knowing that the hospital could soon be under attack by that horrific tailed-beast the nine tailed fox. Looking into the mid-wife's eye after a push she could see the fear that resided in the mid-wife's heart. If the woman had the ability to look back on her life and not focus on the immense pain she was currently in she would have been surprised at the route her life had taken.
Konoha was not her native town; in fact the world she was living on was not even the world of her birth. Eight years ago she had been involved in an explosion caused by an artifact of unknown properties. When she had awaken in the Konoha hospital she was told that a genin team lead by their Jonin sensei had found her washed up on the shore surrounded by the wreckage of things they couldn't identify.
She then had met with the team that had found her and that's where she met him, Minato Namikaze. The two of them had a few minutes of conversation before Minato offered to let her stay with him for a few days until she could, “get back on her feet.” At the time she didn’t know why but that night she revealed to Minato the fact that she was from a different world. Minato was shocked for a moment but then just smiled and accepted this as a fact.
Minato explained to her that while he believed her that most of the people in Konoha wouldn’t believe her and call her crazy. That night the two of them stayed up crafting a cover story for her. In the end they decided to say that she was on board a ship from a country across the Eastern Ocean that sank. To explain away her unique abilities Minato said that they would just say that it was a bloodline limit. Everyone accepted the story except for the Hokage who they told the truth to.
Over the years she and Minato kept in close touch until three years ago when Minato asked her to marry him and she accepted. They were married just six months after the end of the Leaf-Rock War and two months before Minato became the Fourth Hokage. When she had found out that she was expecting a child she and Minato couldn’t be happier. However, for the past two weeks she had been ill and was bed-ridden in the hospital in order to make sure that her and her child would be safe. Then that blasted fox had to appear and her child decided to come out NOW of all times.
The pain of giving birth was beginning to be unbearable for her, her son seemed stubborn in wanting to come out even though she had gone into labor. After one last push she heard the crying of her child taking his first breath in the world. One of the mid-wife’s assistance came next to her and said, “You have a healthy baby boy-”
