In the heart of Konohagakure, a momentous event unfolded as the radiant Uzumaki Kushina, the fiery-haired kunoichi with unparalleled strength and vitality, gave birth to three remarkable heirs - triplets foretold in ancient prophecies.

The eldest, Mito, emerged into the world, a mirror image of her mother. With flowing locks of vibrant crimson hair and piercing cerulean eyes, she bore the indomitable spirit and tenacity of Kushina, destined to inherit her mother's fierce attitude and ninja prowess.

Following swiftly after was Haruki, a unique blend of his parents' traits. His hair bore the hues of both blonde and crimson, forming an unusual yet captivating mix. To add to his distinctiveness, he inherited the azure eyes of his father, the Fourth I Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Last but not least, Naruto, the youngest of the triplets, entered the world. His crimson locks cascaded like a fiery waterfall, framing the most exquisite azure eyes ever seen. However, adorning his rosy cheeks were three curious whisker-like marks, a charming but peculiar trait that set him apart from the rest of his family. Little did they know, these marks would become the emblem of his identity, an omen of both greatness and tribulation in his life to come.

As Minato tenderly cradled Naruto in his arms for the first time after his birth, a moment of surprise flickered across his usually composed expression. His eyes widened in astonishment at the sight of the three distinctive whisker-like marks etched upon Naruto's rosy cheeks. "Kushina," he murmured, his voice laced with both wonder and curiosity.

Kushina, her laughter chiming softly in the air, glanced over at Minato and then down at her newborn son. "Aren't they just adorable?" she remarked at the whiskers with a loving smile, a touch of amusement dancing in her voice. "A bit odd, though, don't ya think?"

Minato's surprise melted into a gentle smile as he nodded in agreement. Despite the initial shock, he couldn't deny the cute quality of Naruto's unique appearance. His laughter joined Kushina's, harmonizing in a moment of shared joy over their son's captivating features.

As Minato and Kushina were enveloped in each other's gaze, a loud and pained scream echoed through the hospital, the sound of bodies dropping was heard outside Kushina's hospital room. After hearing this, Minato's demeanor shifted instantly from the tender embrace of his newborns to the instinctual alertness of a seasoned shinobi. He swiftly placed Naruto gently beside his siblings on Kushina's chest, ensuring their safety, before retrieving two of his signature kunai with practiced ease.

As he met Kushina's worried gaze, a silent reassurance passed between them, a shared understanding born of countless missions and battles fought side by side. Without a word, Minato moved towards the source of the sudden commotion, his footsteps swift yet purposeful.

In the heart of the chaos, Minato navigated the corridors with precision, his senses heightened and his mind focused on the looming threat. His eyes darted from shadow to shadow, scanning for any sign of danger, every muscle primed for action. A sense of urgency pulsed through him, driving him onward as he approached the epicenter of the disturbance. With unwavering determination, Minato prepared to confront whatever threat loomed in the hospital corridors, ready to defend his family and village with the skill of a true Hokage.

With an authoritative kick, Minato forcefully burst through the splintering door, only to be met with a harrowing scene that froze him in disbelief. The once-sterile hospital room was now a grisly scene of carnage, the lifeless, blood-covered corpsesof medical staff strewn across the floor. The haunting cries of infants pierced the air, their distress signaling imminent danger.

A wave of panic surged through Minato as he heard the cries, his heart pounding with terror for the safety of his family. Swiftly, he spun on his heel, his mind ablaze with urgency and fear, teleporting instantly to his wife and children using the Flying Thunder God technique marked upon Kushina.
