Summary: Right before Uzumaki Naruto slips into 'death' at the hands of Uchiha Madara, he first enters the mindscape he once shared with the now extracted Kyūbi, only to meet his mother who decided that she has to use a Ninjutsu technique not even Minato knew she had developed. A Jutsu that sends the user and anyone in their range back in time, it may send them back ten years or even a week or a half an hour for the least, but unsure of the consequences; they take the chance, as it is their only hope at true peace. NaruKushi!

The World's Savior: A Shinobi's Transgressions…
Arc 1: Rebirth…
Chapter 1: Road to Redemption…
"Naruto! Please Naruto! Don't give up! You're strong, and we need you! Konoha needs you, the world needs you Naruto! I need you, so please, just don't die!" It was too late for that, as Naruto's lifeless soul calmly drifted towards the gates of hell were he would be judged for his sins and good deeds and as it was drifting, his mind began to replay all of the things he went through to make it where he was today, and it was a shame that after all the deaths of loved ones of those close to him, he had ultimately failed them and died trying to protect them. He was a complete failure to his father, mother, old man Sandaime, Kakashi…Neji, Tsunade and Jiraiya, and that wasn't mentioning his friends whom had all sacrificed to save him and the risks they took fighting for him. All down the drain because he had let his guard down while fighting Madara.
The blonde's mind suddenly stopped functioning for a second as his eyes slowly opened to reveal a dimly lit cage with ankle length water, a place he knew all too well. 'Is this…is this, my mindscape, why am I here? Aren't I dead already, Kurama's been extracted.' The blonde took a step forward only to be sent flying back by a shockwave as powerful as one of the ten tails' roars. When he regained his composure and looked at where the shockwave originated he saw a beautiful red haired woman standing in the water with her eyes closed and a red aura glowing around her body, she slowly opened her eyes and Naruto smiled as he recognized the woman seeing her violet eyes and he ran to her and hugged her as soon as he met her.
"Kā-chan…" He said slowly and his mother remained quiet, simply hugging her son as if she was about to die, but in reality; she was already dead. "Mom…I'm…I'm a failure to everyone! I failed everyone who cared for me, even down to Iruka-sensei! I disappointed you and dad, and your dreams won't get to be accomplished through me!" His mother; Kushina, frowned when she heard her son's rants but said nothing, all the time she spent learning to be a mother from her mother was all saved for this moments, the first thing she learned was to always listen then speak, even if it's a situation such as this. As Naruto began to cry softly she simply played with his hair and sung him a lullaby which he caught his attention. "Hey, I've heard that before!" He suddenly said in realization.
"Ah so you remember," Kushina's angelic voice made him smile slightly as she continued, "Minato and I used to sing it to you every day when you were still inside of my stomach. Mina-kun was actually the one to teach me it, he said his mother had sung it for him when he was a baby and every time we sung it you would kick, I don't know if it was because of Minato's bad singing or you were excited," this made Naruto chuckle weakly. He slowly removed his head from his mother's neck and looked her into the eyes and grinned at her sheepishly. "You know Naruto, you may have died at Madara's hands, but at least your friends are strong enough to stop him, not to mention they have Minato along with the other past Hokages, so rest easy and return to the afterlife with me, you believe in your friends don't you?" Naruto simply looked to the water below him and balled his fists.
"Of course I believe in them, and not to be arrogant but they can't defeat someone as strong as Madara, with me having direct access to Kurama's chakra it makes me stronger than them because he's a tailed beast," Naruto admitted and Kushina frowned, noting that he had a point, Kurama was the strongest of the Bijū after all. "I hate to admit it, but Madara is on a whole entire level from anyone else, sure dad and the Nidaime have an advantage of speed over him but they're just reanimations, without me and Sasuke together we don't have the slightest chance of beating that damned reanimated Uchiha, no–" Naruto suddenly stopped and was looking at something behind Kushina and noticing his gaze the redhead Uzumaki followed it and saw some familiar red chakra forming behind the woman. "What's that?"
"Hold on," Kushina closed her eyes and flared the little chakra she had remaining and then reopened her violet orbs. "It seems as though Minato-kun is transferring what he has of the Kyūbi's cha–" She was suddenly cut off by Naruto.
"Kurama," Naruto corrected and Kushina looked at him with a tilted head of confusion. "The Kyūbi, his name is Kurama."
Kushina smiled at her son with a sense of pride before continuing her explanation, "You're right, sorry about that but anyway, Minato is transferring his half of Kurama's chakra into you as an attempt to revive you, Minato is trying to bring you back to life when in a sense, you aren't really dead," this time it was Naruto's turn to tilt his head in confusion. "To put it simply, with you being an Uzumaki and with the Uzumaki being distant cousins of the Senju and the Senju being direct descendants of the Sage of Six Path's you have a very strong life force like myself, in all honesty, if the Kyū…uh, if Kurama didn't try and kill you when Minato was performing the Hakke No Fuin Shiki (Eight Trigrams Seal/Eight Sign Seal), the Fuinjutsu used to seal him within you, I wouldn't have had to help Minato slow down the claw for him to finish the Jutsu and thus, I would have been able to stay alive and be a mother to you," She finished sadly and Naruto frowned seeing his mother sad, it just set off a hidden gear he never knew he had. "I was the true failure."
Naruto's balled fists suddenly un-balled and he placed his hands on his mother's shoulder and she looked up at him with watery eyes. "I'm going to tell you the same thing I told Obito when he made fun of dad; not even the Kage of the five hidden villages, not even everyone in Konoha, not even dad himself or all the mothers in Konoha, knows how to be a mother as great as you, you did things a mother wouldn't be able to do for their children. You taught me how and helped me to control a Bijū, you risked your life for me and despite having just gone through childbirth, you stood and fought Kurama, the Nine Tails' alongside dad, you did all of that so that I could live and grow up. You are the world's greatest mother!"
Kushina smiled at Naruto and hugged him, this placing her head into his neck and crying on his chest. "Arigatō, Naruto. Thank you once again for letting me be your mother, let alone be someone you tolerate." The pair remained quiet when suddenly Naruto saw the red chakra stop forming and it all disappeared.
"What the…?" Naruto asked and Kushina followed this gaze once again to see the chakra gone from sight. "Kurama's chakra, it's just…gone! Disappeared into thin air!" Kushina flared her chakra once again and sucked on her teeth. "What is it Mom?"
"It's that black thing that works for Madara! It appeared in front of your body right when Minato-kun was about to put the final piece of Kurama's chakra into you and took it all, and with only eight of the necessary nine tails of chakra the rest left and went to Obito where its final piece was located." She explained and Naruto cursed, soon covering up his mouth as his mother looked at him.
"If only there was a way to fix this all and end this damned war! I'm getting fed up of Madara's false ideals on what true peace is!" The blonde sighed and slumped to the ground in exhaustion.
"There actually is a way to fix this, Naruto," Kushina began and the whiskered teen looked at her oddly. "Back when Minato was a Jōnin and I had retired because the council didn't want me to be out on missions where I could be captured and Kurama could have been extracted or I could have been raped and produced a jinchuriki child which would be turned into a weapon they couldn't use," Kushina clenched her fist tightly as she said that. "Anyway, I was cleaning the house one day while Mina-kun was out on a mission and stumbled upon Minato's notes on his Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God), being my curious self I read it over and immediately understood the basic schematics and mechanics, I realized the Hiraishin was a Space–Time Ninjutsu that sent the user through the space time continuum by the breaking down of the protons or light molecules in their body, thus transforming them into the fastest form of speed, light energy," Naruto – not being a genius – only understood the basic things she said but kind of got the point on what she was saying, "Then I started to try and understand the more difficult parts to it but it was difficult with me not being a genius or anything but I managed to be able to do the basics of the Hiraishin where I was able to flash within a designated area of five squared feet, and I did all of this during the Daisanji Ninja Taisen while Minato was out on missions with Kakashi, Obito and Rin, and I somehow did something wrong and ended up sending myself back in time, because after I did the Jutsu I ended up in bed with Minato by my side and he wasn't anywhere close to Konoha at the time, he even said the exact same things he said to me that morning, so named it and dubbed the Jutsu a hazard to shinobi, I destroyed all of my notes on never thought of using it again, until now." She finished and took a deep breath looking at her son.
"So, you created a Jutsu that send the user back in time?" Kushina nodded. "And that's the only way you said there is to fix this mess, but isn't time–travel dangerous?" Kushina simply nodded once again. "But it's the only way to save the world, so, will you send yourself back in time and change it or are you sending me?" She sighed.
"I'm going to send both of us, however, we might end up in different times, I may go back a day while you may go back to the time of creation, after I accidentally went back in time I only thought of the Jutsu when Minato used his Hiraishin, I never delved into it trying to understand it, I shunned it and continued to live my life, if I had had enough chakra during the fight with the Kyū–, Kurama, I would have gone back and stopped Obito from supposedly 'dying' on the 'Kannabi Bridge' mission she admitted and Naruto placed his hands on her shoulders again.
"Do it Kā-chan, send us back in time, even if it's an hour, just try and give me a second shot and a chance at ending this war or even stopping this war from happening, I believe in you Mom, I believe that with this Jutsu, we can accomplish true peace in the Elemental Nations!" Kushina smiled and backed up a little so she was about five feet away from Naruto.
"I need you to calm your mind, make it completely blank, think of a happy place," Naruto nodded and Kushina gave him half a minute and when that half of minute was up, she poured all the chakra she had in spirit form into the Jutsu and her eyes shot open as she yelled the name of the Jutsu, hoping and praying, it would send them back far enough. "Uzumaki Clan Ninpō: Jikan No Sai Kōchiku No Jutsu! (Uzumaki Clan Ninja Art: Reconstruction of Time Technique!)" Around Kushina the water began to rage wildly as a black hole formed around her and Naruto.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Midnight…
Konohagakure No Sato: Hokage Monument…
Naruto and Kushina hit the ground hard as feeling returned to their body and sense returned to their mind. Their eyes burned for some unknown reason and to put it as simply as possible, they felt like their bodies had just been dragged through the gutters of Konoha then Maito Gai and Kurama trampled on their body for years upon years. When Naruto's eyes stopped burning he opened them to find himself atop the Hokage Monument with Kushina by his side, with her eyes closed and an expression of pain on her face.
"Kā-chan? Are you okay?"
Kushina slowly opened her eyes and looked at the blonde in front of her. "I'm fine and can you please do me a favor?" When Naruto nodded with a grin she smiled. "Don't call me 'Kā-chan' anymore…" Naruto's eyes widened with fear but Kushina soon placed her hand on his cheek and moved her face closer to his. "In this time zone, I am not your mother; though I still love you as my son, you can call me Kushina," Naruto nodded and Kushina smiled. "Now we have to figure how far back we went…"
Kushina's question was answered when a giant cloud of smoke appeared at the southernmost part of the village and when the smoke was cleared there stood Kurama; the Nine Tailed Fox or the Kyūbi No Yōko. Naruto groaned as he saw this, "Of all the time zones we could have gone back to the Jutsu decided to send us back seventeen years into the past?!" Kushina chuckled at Naruto's complaining as she saw the Fox wildly swinging its long and furry tails.
"No time for complaining Naruto!" Kushina said as she slid into a sitting position and sighed wearily. "Since this is a time where I was the same 'age' I am currently things could prove difficult should I see myself, or at least that's how time–travel works in movies and frankly I don't trust this Jutsu enough to try it, therefore you're going to have to help Minato and myself seal Kurama inside of baby Naruto or my current self without having them die, once that happens I can return you to your original time zone where you will replace baby Naruto and I will return to your mindscape." When Kushina finished explaining Naruto looked at her dumbly.
"What?"
Kushina simply sweat dropped at her son's denseness. "I'll explain the more technical stuff at a later date, right now you need to help Konoha because any minute Mina-kun's going to appear and Kurama is going to…" Her voice was trailed off as a yellow flash caught their eyes and they saw Minato standing on his head on the monument. "…fire a Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Bomb)" Like she said the fox turned to Minato and with a loud roar it began to charge up its strongest attack and Naruto saw Kurama fire it at the Yondaime Hokage, ripping up parts of the village as it travelled.
The Yondaime Hokage simply slid into a particular stand and held one of the kunai he used for the Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) and closed his eyes for a moment. When they shot open he yelled a Jutsu and Kurama's Bijūdama disappeared and before Naruto and Kushina could say anything there was a giant explosion behind them.
Naruto looked back at the explosion with wide eyes but said nothing in particular about the attack, he then turned to Kushina, "So where do I go, Kushina-chan?" Naruto turned to look at Kushina whom had a slight tinge of red on her face but cleared her throat and pointed towards a forest.
"After Obito had broken into the cave and Kurama had been extracted Minato carried you and myself back to the house and went to confront Obito, the Masked Man, while the Sandaime and the rest of the Shinobi Corps went to hold off the Kyūbi, over there is the Forest of Silent Movement where they fought, hurry up and do whatever you need to do in order to stop Obito!"
Naruto nodded and with a cross of his fingers a Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) appeared next to him and he nodded towards it. Kushina didn't bother to ask because she knew it was gathering Senjutsu Chakra by the way it slid into a cross legged position and began to meditate, not to mention she had been inside Naruto since Minato sealed some of her chakra away. "I'll be back, Kushina-chan." Naruto said as he began running in the direction of the forest and Kushina smiled after him.
'Naruto, I know for a fact, that you can change the outcome of the shinobi world, even if it's just by a little, it's as they say; a little goes a long way.'
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Meanwhile…
Forest of Silent Movement: Minato vs. Masked Man (Obito)
'He's strong enough to assassinate Anbu – whose job is to assassinate people – extract the Nine Tails' and get into Konoha and unleash the fox without getting caught, not to mention he has a Sharingan…' Minato thought as he stood opposite the man whom had attacked on the night of his son's birth. '…Could it be?' "Are you, Uchiha Madara?" The man simply chuckled at Minato and some chains rolled out of his sleeves.
"Maybe, maybe not; it makes no sense telling you because the dead knows nothing and telling something useful to a dead man is by far the definition of idiocy, if you do not get what I'm implying, Yondaime Hokage, is that you – along with everyone else in the Hidden Leaf – will…DIE!" The man dashed at Minato who used his Hiraishin (Flying Thunder God) to flash away in the color yellow and the man chuckled to himself. 'Seems as though sensei is as fast as ever, but it doesn't matter, I'm much faster than before and with the Mangekyō, I can't lose here!'
As fighting ensued and Minato tried to find a way to stop the man he thought was 'Madara' and the masked man – Obito – tried to defeat his sensei they didn't notice someone hiding in the underbrush waiting for the right moment to strike. Getting back to the fight between sensei and student the masked man was avoiding Minato's attacks by leaving the dimension and reappearing and Minato was avoiding the masked man's attacks with the Jutsu that gave him the moniker, the Kiiroī Senkō. Finally clashing kunai with chains, they skidded backward slightly and simply stared at each other.
Minato heard screams from the village and looked over his shoulder to see one of the Nine Tails' tails smashing a building and screams being heard. "Do tell me, Yondaime, is the demon fox bothering you or is it the screams of the children, where is this so called 'Will of Fire', shouldn't it be to protect the village first and settle personal vendetta later?" The Masked Man asked and Minato clenched his fist.
"As the Hokage my job is to protect Konoha and the villagers of the village, but I am busy trying to stop the man that started this all, there are remarkably strong shinobi in the Hidden Leaf, they can hold off the fox until I finish you." Minato said and the man chuckled and before anything else could be said, a giant blue orb – which Minato recognized as his Rasengan (Spiraling Sphere) – hit Obito in the side of his stomach and when Minato got a closer look at the man, he was expecting his sensei – Jiraiya – but instead saw a younger version of himself with whisker marks and familiar orange marking around his eyes along with a bar as his pupil.
"Enough of this," the Minato-mini-me began as the Masked Man slowly stood up and looked at him oddly. "Uchiha…Obito." Minato had wide eyes as they words left his mini-me's mouth and he looked at the Masked Mana s he chuckled.
"You look oddly familiar to a newborn baby boy I had recently kidnapped, could it be? Are you from the future?" Obito asked with a hidden smirk under his mask and Naruto nodded his head ever so slightly.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto of the future, and I am here to stop you from causing the Daiyoji Ninkai Taisen! (Fourth Great Shinobi World War!)" Minato had wide eyes as he stared at the teenager who was supposedly his son from the future and Obito stared at the boy who claimed to be his sensei's son from the future.
"If you are alive I guess that means my plans tonight will ultimately fail, but do remember this, Naruto, Minato-sensei," Minato winced at the emphasis on 'sensei' but remained quiet. "There are many ways to go about controlling the world, even if it's by killing each and every human alive." And just like that Obito disappeared in a distortion of air. Naruto clenched his fist and turned to Minato who was looking back at him.
"Are you really my son from the future? And was that really Obito? Or am I in a coma from when Kushina-chan hit me last week?" Minato asked and Naruto laughed at his father's confusion.
"That actually sounds like something Kus…Kā-chan would do, but as of now Tō-san, we have to stop Kurama; the Kyūbi, I promise that I will answer all of your questions after that has been done but to answer your questions from before, yes, I am your son from the future and that really was your supposedly dead student, Obito," Minato looked at the ground with regret but said nothing as a loud explosion echoed from the village. "Now if you don't mind Tō-san, there's a fox that needs to be stopped." Naruto said and Minato nodded and placed his hands on his son's shoulder and both of them disappeared in a yellow flash.
VVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV
Ten Minutes Later…
Nine Tails' vs. Namikaze – Uzumaki Family
"Uzumaki Clan Hijutsu: Kongō Fūsa! (Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique: Adamantine Sealing Chains!)" Kushina of that time zone said as she and Minato came to the agreement that the fox needed to be sealed inside of Naruto in order to stop it. The Naruto of the future had remained quiet as his mother and father made the decision, he didn't want to say anything that would affect their decision and therefore their judgement. Naruto knew the fox had to be sealed in order to be stopped and said nothing. And at the moment he was fighting henge'd as Minato – which Kushina thought was a Kage Bunshin (Shadow Clone) – so Kushina wouldn't ask questions until after the matter had been solved. He would only stop and reveal himself should Minato begin to do the Jutsu he used to fully seal the fox. He knew it was coming but hoped he would see what happened that night and figure out an alternative.
"Hakke No Fuin Shiki! (Eight Trigrams Sealing Style/Eight Singed Seal!)" Minato exclaimed and a small alter with eight candles lit around it appeared out of the ground. Minato placed baby Naruto onto the small alter and looked towards the Nine Tails'. "Time to end your rampage!" Naruto saw Minato begin to run through seals and guessing it was for the Shiki Fūjin (Dead Demon Consuming Seal/Reaper Death Seal) tried to stop him but Minato had to dash in front of baby Naruto as the fox tried to kill baby Naruto and the end result, was Minato and Kushina being pierced by a fox claw.
"Ha-ha, Kushina, I'm the father, it's my job to protect my wife and child, why? Why did you jump in front of the claw?" Minato asked and Kushina looked at baby Naruto and gave him a weak smile. "It doesn't matter now any way, Naruto!" Kushina was curious as to why Minato was calling the baby as if he could understand him but was surprised when the 'clone' changed into a handsome young boy with sun kissed blonde hair, blue eyes and whisker marks, like the baby she had given birth to.
Before Minato, Kushina or the Naruto from the future could say anything the Nine Tails' let go a loud roar and tried to kill Naruto from the future with his next set of claws but the blonde – whom was still in Sennin Mōdo – stopped the claw with a Senjutsu enhanced kick, sending it back to the fox. Creating a few Kage Bunshins to buy him some time Naruto turned back to his mother, father and his baby self. "Hello, Kā-chan, I am the Naruto of the future, I came back in time with a spirit form of you with a Jutsu you created," Minato looked at Kushina oddly as her eyes widened bigger then the Kyūbi eyes when he had been extracted. "Your deaths caused many things in the future, being an orphan and being mistreated by the village because of being a jinchuriki almost made me walk down the wrong path, so many things happened but I made friends to help me through it but ultimately, the same man who attacked the night I was born, tonight, declared the Fourth Great Shinobi World War against the Five Great Ninja Villages, the 'you' of the future, or her spirit from rather can't come near the real you as it will cause a paradox of space and time, or at least that's what was explained to me. But to get to the point, I died during the war at the hands of Uchiha Madara and met you within my mindscape with the your chakra dad was going to seal into me along with the Nine Tails' and that's how I was given a chance to come back in time and change the future, so I took it."
Kushina began to tear up with sadness and had slight anger rising because of what Naruto had told her but said nothing and then it was Minato to speak. "Kushina-chan and I are as good as dead, Naruto, there will only be a repeat of what transpired in the future without someone to take care of Naruto, so I beg of you, take care of Naruto, you might as well take up the seat of the Hokage in my place as I see you are a very strong shinobi and you look exactly like me, and as Kage, we all have our secrets and one of them is that I am dead and my son from the future is taking my place, so, I beg of you, as not only as your father, but also as the father of baby Naruto and being the sensei of the person that declared war upon the nations, it is all my fault to please, with all my manly pride on the table, take care of yourself and your baby self…" Naruto began to tear up at his father's request.
"But I don't know how to be a Hokage!"
"You'll learn, by the way, did you ever control the Kyūbi's chakra?" Naruto nodded. "Very well, I shall seal part of it into the grown up form of you as well as into baby Naruto, should there be the need to use it I trust you will do the right thing, and you were already the jinchuriki so its mass chakra won't affect your coils, oh and Naruto…" Naruto looked at his father dead in the eye. "Thank you."
"Thank you as well, Naruto-kun." Kushina said and Naruto nodded and fell to his knees in anguish and the pain of losing someone so close to him in front of his eyes, it hurt more than when Jiraiya had died fighting Pein.
"We shall meet again someday, son," Minato said to the older Naruto then he turned to the baby Naruto. "And make sure to always keep you 'father' in check, son, I shall see you both again, whether it be in the afterlife or by luck. Now, to seal the Kyūbi. Shiki Fūjin!"
Though only Minato could see the Shinigami (Death God) appeared behind him everyone (Naruto and Kushina) knew it was there simply by the chill that ran through their spines, even baby Naruto began to cry. The older Naruto fell to the ground face first as a god-killing sense of pain shot throughout his body. Only silence and the ever so silent sniffles of baby Naruto remained as part of the Kyūbi was sealed into him and his baby counterpart and just as the fox disappeared the Sandaime Hokage appeared behind Naruto.
"Who are you?!"
"Relax Sandaime," Naruto said in a serious tone as he picked up his baby counterpart. "Bump fists with me and everything shall be explained, you have to trust me, because my parents always believed in me and no matter what happens; I will protect Naruto, at all costs!" The Sandaime Hokage felt a familiar feeling run through his body as he remembered when his sensei had said that only with different mentioned people during the Daishoji Ninkai Taisen (First Great Ninja War). The Sandaime simply bumped fists with Naruto and his eyes widened in shock.
"Mother of Kami!" Naruto expected that reaction, he had seen everything Naruto ever went through and what all led to this moment. "This is very interesting, we shall discuss this more at the Hokage's office, as of now, we need to seal away the real bodies of Kushina and Minato, Anbu and Jōnin are coming here." Naruto nodded and quickly used his variant of the Henge No Jutsu (Transformation Technique) – which allowed him to be an exact, un-sensible and perfect replication of his target – to transform back into Minato as the Sandaime sealed their bodies in a scroll and pocketed it quickly as Kakashi among other Jōnin and Anbu landed around the 'Yondaime', his 'son' and the Sandaime.
"Sensei! What became of the Kyūbi?!"
"I sealed it within my son and myself," Eyes widened as he said this and the Sandaime watched Naruto with a lot more respect than he had for him, he was mimicking Minato's voice to the 'T'. "What matters most is that the fox has been defeated, right now please return to the village and help those who are injured…"
The Sandaime noticed Naruto really didn't know what to do as the Hokage and finished for him. "Yes, we want a full list of who died, who is seriously injured, those with light injuries, the shinobi count for both injured and dead, percentage of the village that was destroyed, how much money was lost and how much money it would take to repair the village at its fastest pace, scatter!" The shinobi nodded and disappeared as quickly as they came. {A.N: Like My Dad :(} "It seems I have to teach you how to be a Hokage again, huh, Minato?" The Sandaime joked and Naruto let a soft chuckle leave his lips.
"I guess so Hokage-Jiji," The Sandaime didn't say anything as he remembered – from the fist bump – that was what Naruto had called him and would have been calling him if the Naruto from the future wouldn't have come back. "I'm getting tired, can you do me a favor and carry Naruto to the house mom and dad had, I'm going to go find the spirit form of Kushina and bring her back and discuss this with her." Naruto said and the Sandaime took Naruto from his hands and left via the shunshin. The replacement Hokage for his father sighed and rubbed his temples. Things were going to be difficult as of now. "Kami help me!"
