Story Start!

A desert.

A desert with floating sand, that appeared to have been stopped in time, a misted aura about the entire world of the desert. In the middle of the desert, were two massive, and open, doors that revealed a young woman standing with a bleeding man over her shoulder. She walked with a limp, and she pulled the man into the desert and through the doors. Her burning red hair visible as she huffed, dragging the dying and unconscious man along with her.

Kushina Uzumaki, a young woman in her late teens, wearing a crimson red and white battle kimono, with a wooden staff strapped to her back. She was a beautiful woman, with a well trained body, and she was sweating in exhaustion. She had a long, crimson fox tail trailing behind her, currently showing the emotion that she was feeling... fear. She couldn't even keep the fear off of her face. She, the Spring Maiden, had been attacked while she had been learning how to control her powers... and her teacher... the love of her life had been fatally wounded in the battle. She had taken him, and had decided to sneak into the Vault... because she had been told that the Relic of Knowledge had great power.

She wanted to save her love.

At any cost.

"The Relic of Knowledge..." Kushina whispered with hope as she saw the golden lamp with the blue sphere in the middle, floating in the air in the middle of the floating sands. It gave off an aura of power, and she lowered herself to the ground, gently placing her love on his back. His wounds were too deep to be treated by medicine, and it was all she could do to freeze his wounds shut to try and stave off death itself. His skin was losing color, and fast, so she didn't have long. "... Please... I need to know if there is a way to save him... I have to know..." Kushina reached forward and placed her hand on the lamp.

She felt it's warmth under her hand.

My name, call my name.

"Please, Jinn, answer my question."

Blue magic started to come out of the Relic itself, and a misty form appeared out of the magic, quickly taking shape into a giant blue woman. Her naked figure, on full display, formed quickly and before her very eyes. Golden chains appeared around her waist, and on her wrists, as well as around her neck. Her blue skin was only rivaled by her darker blue hair, and her gleeful blue eyes. She gave a loud moan as she stretched herself out, before she cracked her neck.

"Nearly one hundred years can give you such a crick in the neck... well, Spring Maiden, you're in luck, I'm able to answer two more questions this century. It's quite wonderful to see a familiar magic. Ask, and knowledge shall be yours." Jinn floated and bowed to her. Without shame for her body, not that she had reason for it since she wasn't a human, she leaned forward and looked down at Kushina. She glanced at the dying man next to her, and she gave a gleeful smile. "Ah, it seems I can guess what you wish to ask." Jinn spoke airily, not answering the question, as it had yet to be asked.

She only answered asked questions.

"... What can I do to save his life?" Kushina carefully worded her question so that no half-truths could be given to her. She didn't trust the Jinn from the Lamp, and while Jinn had to be honest, there was nothing that prevented half-truths. If she asked if it was possible to save his life, then Jinn might not tell her how to do it, and she would have to ask another question. "... I've tried my Animate Semblence, and I don't know much about my magic as the Spring Maiden... he's not an inanimate object, so it didn't work..." Kushina rambled on.

Jinn smiled and leaned back.

"You, as you are, have no way of saving his life. His life force is quickly fading away." Jinn answered the question, and gave a small amount of bonus information relating to the question.

There was no harm in it.

"... I can't... I can't save him... but... I love him."

'Yes, this is the fate of humans, to fall in love and to feel loss, in their pursuit of knowledge and life. Such a cruel cycle.' Jinn thought as she waited for another question, the last question that she would be able to answer for quite a few years to come. "Is there anything else my dear?"

Kushina bit her lip... tears of sadness turning into fires of anger in her eyes. She looked up at the Jinn, who had given her the unfortunate news that she would be unable to save her beloved. With gripped fists, she stood up once more and glared up at the inhuman woman. Jinn raised an eyebrow at the woman, anger was often times a common result of hearing bad news, but this might not be very good for her. Not when the Spring Maiden, inexperienced as she may be, was the one to experience this level of anger at her.

"I have another question." Kushina's words were cold as she raised a hand, and wiped her lover's blood from her shoulder, and she grabbed the Relic between her hands. She bit through her own lip until her blood was dripping from her chin and onto the Relic. "You see, I'm very, very angry at you... and you live inside of the Relic... if I used my Magic to make my Semblence stronger, what would happen to you if I used Animate on the Relic of Knowledge?" Kushina asked as her eyes burst into flames, and she enhanced her Semblence as much as she could.

Jinn closed her eyes and nodded her head.

A valid question.

"I would live inside of the Relic, no matter it's form, be it human or lamp. I am apart of the Relic, a spirit created by the God of Light to grant humans knowledge. If my Relic were to gain humanoid form, then I would become fused with it's soul... and I am unable to answer questions about the future." Jinn bowed to Kushina as the Relic started to change shape. Jinn's body started to turn into a magical mist once more, the Relic quickly transforming into a humanoid form like she had known.

With a blood sacrifice, Kushina's Semblence allowed her to grant objects life, and since the object she was transforming was the Relic of Knowledge, one of the gifts to humanity by the gods, it was impossible to tell what would happen.

The Relic finished transforming.

In it's place was a small... boy?

Kushina questioned the gender for a moment, the extremely light looking frame and softer features made her think she had created a girl for a second. The child had her beloved messy blond hair, but it glowed a golden blond like the Relic, and his blue eyes were open by in a daze, the same color as the blue ball in the Relic. Her had her round, feminine face... and he had small fox ears on top of his head... but strangely enough three whisker marks on each cheek.

He was asleep, and his dazed eyes closed, just as Jinn gave a final bow and started to get pulled back into her now living vessel.

"As I go, I will grant you some free knowledge... you have cursed the Relic. When you see the old man, you should tell him that now... the Relic will be able to answer 3 questions... every year." Jinn spoke as she was fully pulled back into the Relic. Kushina picked up the living Relic, and walked towards her dying lover.

She dropped to her knees.

Sadness, replaced by anger, was now once more sadness... and bitterness. She placed her hand on the ice, and unfroze her lover.

"Minato... wake up... I want to introduce you... to our child." Kushina tried to rouse her lover from his sleep, to try and get him to at least look at the child created from his blood. Even though he was a newborn, technically, he had the body of a young teen... but seemed so frail in her arms.

Kushina tried to rouse Minato harder.

His eyes flickered a little weakly, before they closed again, and Kushina felt the knot in her throat get tighter. He didn't even have the strength to keep his eyes open, so Kushina placed the living relic down, and started to dig a hole in the sand with her hands.

She was going to bury Minato in this beautiful place, forever protected by the Vault.

What was the name of the character in Minato's favorite book?

"Naruto."

The Relic had a name.
