A/N: I grew tired of neglect fics so I thought I would write one with Naruto on the other side of the table, with his siblings being the neglected ones. So here is the Prologue will update or not depending on feedback. I do not own Naruto.
Prologue
"Any improvement?"
"No." Tsunade answered her voice low as she turned to face Jiraiya who was leaning against the doorframe of the make shift hospital room that had been set up in the Namikaze residence.
"Tsunade when was the last time you slept?" Jiraiya asked, his voice laced with worry as he saw the bags under the blonde's eyes.
"I'm fine Jiraiya." Tsunade lied trying to shrug off her husband's worry.
"You're not fi-"
"Drop it Jiraiya I already said I'm fine." Tsunade interrupted harshly, her mode sour from her failure to come up with a way to save the two people that lay unconscious in front of her.
"Hime I know you want to help them and take care of them. But you need to take care of yourself also, you need your rest. You're no good to them like this." Jiraiya said gently as he reached down taking his wife's hand into his own.
"I know," Tsunade said, her shoulders dropping as she felt the weight of all the exhaustion that had built up these last few days from her lack of sleep. "I just don't know what to do for them Jiraiya." Tsunade admitted, "I don't want to fail them like I failed Nawaki and Dan." Tsunade voiced her fears, thinking of her dead brother and friend that she had been unable to save.
"What happened to them wasn't your fault hime, there was nothing more you could have done for Nawaki or Dan." Jiraiya soothed pulling Tsunade into a hug. "But you need to sleep." Jiraiya said his tone turning serious. "Right now there is nothing more you can do for Naruto or Kushina like this hime."
"I can't Jiraiya, I can't sleep until I find something to help them." Tsunade said stubbornly, pulling away from Jiraiya as she turned to look at the woman she saw as a daughter and the seven year old boy she thought of as a grandson. Both unconscious and hooked up to several machines.
"Have you thought of what Katusyu said?" Jiraiya suggested, deciding to drop the issue of his wife's lack of sleep as he realised the only way to get her to rest was by giving her a way to save both Naruto and Kushina.
"I have." Tsunade admitted, turning to her husband. "But that would mean leaving the village Jiraiya."
"Maybe that's for the best hime. After what happened to them I think they have a better chance recovering at Shikkotsu Forest than here Hime, especially Naruto." Jiraiya reasoned, his voice dropping at the end as he thought about what his godson had gone through and the mental scar it left him.
"But what about the triplets?" Tsunade asked thinking of her three godchildren, Naruto's week old brothers and sister. All left fatherless after Minato's sacrificed himself the night of the Kyuubi attack.
"They will have me, sensei, Shizune and Kakashi looking after them." Jiraiya said easing his wife's worries. "And the three of you will be gone a year at most hime, they won't even remember you weren't here."
Tsunade sighed realising Jiraiya was right, leaving the village for Shikkotsu Forest was the best thing for both Naruto and Kushina. There, with the help of Katusyu, Tsunade knew she could give them both the best form of medical treatment and return with them within the year.
"Fine," Tsunade agreed, sighing again. "Leaving with Naruto and Kushina for a few months maybe for the best."
