It was then that Naruto Uzumaki was born with the happy couple greeting their son. Minato then made preparations to restore the Nine-Tail's weakened seal but was interrupted by a Masked Man who eliminated everyone at the scene. He held Naruto hostage to prevent Minato from interfering as he intended to kidnap Kushina so that the Masked Man could claim the power of the Nine-Tails. Namikaze managed to recover his son and evaded the paper bombs the Masked Man had put on Naruto's clothing where he took Naruto to a nearby hideout via teleportation. Minato then went to recover his wife where he managed to prevent her from being killed by the Nine-Tails that had been successfully extracted by the Masked Man. Namikaze then took Kushina to their hideout where he reunited her with their son Naruto. It was then that Minato went to confront the Masked Man who had successfully controlled the Nine-Tails.
