Summary
An AU retelling of the manga where Minato survived the Nine-Tails attack.
While Kushina died, Minato lives to raise Naruto and remain Hokage.
The story starts close to canon but progressively diverges as Minato's presence creates a butterfly effect, fundamentally altering the events of the series.

Summary
When Uzumaki Kushina dies sealing the Kyuubi, her final act sends her newborn son, Naruto, not to Konoha's orphanage or trusted guardian like the Toad Sannin, but to the last Uzumaki she can reach: Sasori of the Red Sand.
Seven years later, Chikamatsu Nagi is a perfectly normal Suna academy student. Except for the demon sealed in his gut. And the fact that his father is a sociopathic puppet master slowly turning himself into art. And his great-grandmother has an unfortunate habit of poisoning dinner. And Konoha has no idea their jinchuriki is alive.
When a routine mission goes catastrophically wrong, the careful lies that keep Nagi safe begin to unravel and Sasori learns that caring about something makes you vulnerable in ways no amount of turning into a living puppet could protect against.
The Uzumaki survive. They persist. They protect their own.
