It has been incredibly hard for the now widowed single mother, Kushina Uzumaki.
By some miracle, she managed to survive that faithful night. But her husband didn't, as Minato unfortunately died at the hands of the nine-tailed fox, but managed to seal both halves of the fox into Kushina and Naruto, making them both jinchurikis of the nine-tailed fox.
But as things were starting to look good for them. Kushina realised that the real stress was about to begin, as on top of raising Naruto all by herself, she was still a major target for a lot of people inside and outside of the village.
Kushina knew this, and with the fact that her husband is gone. She had barely any protection regarding her own and her son's safety. Things were getting so bad that other powerful clans were offering her marriage contracts to take both her and Naruto, which she naturally refused.
But some clans were even threatening them to join them, or else they would do things by force. There have been cases of ninjas trying to abduct both her and Naruto for their own selfish gains. It was becoming a heavy burden for Kushina, who needed protection, and there weren't many people that she could go to.
Jiraiya was out of the village, sent on a mission to find the one who planned the attack and was responsible for the death of his student. So, he was out of the question, and there wasn't anybody that Kushina was close with that could provide her a ton of protection.
All except one, the third Hokage, who took back over after Minato's death, Hiruzen Sarutobi. Who was Kushina's best and probably only good option to gain protection against ninjas from other nations and the clan heads that were all trying their hardest to get both her and her son into their ranks.
Kushina and Hiruzen knew each other for a long time. He was the one to make deals with the Uzumaki clan before they got destroyed and provided protection when she was a little kid. Kushina respected Hiruzen a lot, but she knew some things about the Hokage that he would rather not be revealed to the public.
That he was a massive pervert. Seeing that Hiruzen was Jiraiya's master in the past. It was obvious that the toad Sannin got some parts of his overly perverted nature from the third Hokage, and Kushina had found some rather damning evidence in her husband's office one time that revealed that Hiruzen was known to cheat on his wife on several occasions.
The reason Kushina had this in mind was that she obviously went to Hiruzen for help to get protection. But there was so much that the Hokage could do, as most of the people who worked under or with Hiruzen would do whatever it takes to make both last Uzumakis in the village part of their clan or family.
Apart from giving a public statement and having some ninjas act as guards. There isn't much that Hiruzen could do to provide protection.
But Kushina was getting desperate as protecting both herself and her less than a year-old son from all the danger was becoming harder with each day. So Kushina came up with a plan that might be the only way for her and her son to be protected, which was to marry Hiruzen and become part of his family.
Kushina knew that it was a wild idea, but she was getting desperate as she prioritised her son's safety over her own comfort. And having the current Hokage, who, despite his age, was the strongest ninja of the Leaf currently. It was Kushina's best bet to guarantee protection for her and her son.
Kushina has been thinking about this idea for a while now, as it has been months since her husband died. Kushina was still grieving over Minato. But all the stress that came with being a single mom who had to fight for her and her son's safety literally was getting to her and was making her more desperate with each day.
So, if it meant marrying an old man to live a safe and secure life, Kushina was willing to swallow that bitter pill. So, in the middle of the night, Kushina had scheduled a secret meeting with Hiruzen in his office. Kushina had given Naruto to a secret caretaker kunoichi who Kushina trusted enough to leave her son while she handled any drama or political issue.
Kushina arrived at the Hokage's office as Hiruzen was already sitting by his desk, smoking off his pipe with his hat on his desk.
When Kushina arrived, Hiruzen glanced over to the wife of the deceased fourth Hokage and exhaled the smoke.
"Kushina. What is so important that you have to meet me here today?" Hiruzen asked as he continued taking puffs of his cigar.
"Lord Hokage… I wish to offer you something. Something that would greatly benefit us both." Kushina began as she went on one knee for the Hokage, which was odd as Kushina rarely showed respect to anyone. It was very against her nature to do so, so seeing her go on her knees wearing a suspiciously long coat raised questions within the old man.
"What offer?" Hiruzen asked as he already had an idea of what they might be, as Kushina had been trying multiple times to get him to help her situation, which he did. But the elders and other clan heads were holding swords at Hiruzen's neck, as they didn't want him to lose the chance to have the deceased Hokage's wife possibly taken away from them.
These people were animals that weren't going to stop until they got what they wanted, which was, of course, Kushina and Naruto.
Hiruzen watched as Kushina slowly stood back on her feet and reached out to her coat that was covering most of her body. Hiruzen narrowed his eyes before they widened in shock when Kushina started to open her coat and let it fall onto the ground, revealing her completely naked body infront of the Hokage.
"Kushina…" Hiruzen was shocked to see Kushina Uzumaki completely naked infront of him. Hiruzen wasn't going to lie to himself and wondered how much of a beautiful woman Kushina had become, and he got his answer right here, right now, as Kushina was in all her naked glory in front of him.
Despite giving birth only a few months ago. She already returned to her prime shape with an incredible hourglass figure and two giant tits that just looked so delicious in Hiruzen's eyes.
The Hokage couldn't stop himself from gulping his saliva as he had been dry for a couple of months now that he was back as the Hokage, which gave him a lot less time to enjoy his older years and have some fun with the ladies of Konoha.
Kushina walked over as she unsealed a scroll that she had sealed on her wrist and placed it on the desk right infront of Hiruzen. She opened it, which revealed a drafted marriage contract between her and him.
"A marriage contract?" Hiruzen asked, making the naked red-haired beauty nod her head.
