Kushina tells Naruto what happened during his birth. Minato isn't doing that badly during the childbirth process when compared to many other would-be fathers. Summary: After revealing she was the previous host for the nine-tails, Kushina tells Naruto a bit of history about the Uzumaki Clan. The Uzumakis were distant relatives of the 1st Hokage and they specialized in sealing techniques. Kushina happened to have the right chakra characteristics to be a host and was chosen. Kushina was speechless when she was chosen as the host, but Mito Uzumaki, the nine-tails' first host told Kushina that host will live a loving life and that turned out to be true for Kushina. Kushina moves on and begins to talk about the nine-tails' attack on the village, and she explains that the seal on the beast was the weakest during childbirth. On that day, Kushina was brought to a cave outside the village to give birth in secret. ANBU guarded the outside, while only Minato, Biwako (the 3rd's wife) and ANBU member Taji were inside to supervise the childbirth with Minato maintaining the seal. Kushina successfully delivers Naruto, but suddenly a masked assailant arrives, knocks out Biwako and Taji, and snatches Naruto. The masked invader tells Minato to get away from Kushina or he'll kill Naruto. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Congrats to Naruto for making it to half a thousand chapter. This week was more storytelling from Kushina, and her explanations are just adding and confirming details to the pivotal events 16 years ago. It was still interesting though given how important those events were. Kushina's lineage explains why she and perhaps Naruto were hosts, and the weakness of the seal during childbirth certainly explains why the attack happened shortly after Naruto's birth. Too bad they couldn't find a male Uzumaki with the right blood type before Naruto though. Anyways, no major surprises so far in Kushina's retelling of what happened, but perhaps they will be some as Madara's attack unfolds. We'll finally learn what really happened to Naruto's parents. On a side note, I liked the little scene where Kushina ran into Sasuke's mom. Looks like Naruto and Sasuke are fated to be together lol. From the feed of A Product of Wasted Time
