Team 7 all stared at Naruto. Kakashi finally asked "Who are you?"
"You know who I am, you all know," Kyuubi said sadly, "I am the reason Naruto suffers so much."
"Oh," was all Kakashi was able to say there was a long silence after.
"Well we need to get him tended to," Sasuke finally said breaking the silence.
"Yes," replied Kakashi
"Let's go," Sakura said
/Time skip/
When they arrived at Sasuke's house he led them to a guest bedroom.. There Sakura and Kakashi tried to treat him.
"Kyuubi" kept pushing them off saying that "the wounds will heal fast."
"Your legs are broken if we don't fix them they will grow back crooked!" Sakura yelled at him
"Naruto won't be using these legs any time soon," Kyuubi stated in a defeated tone.
"What do you mean?" asked the quiet Uchiha
"Naruto has retreated in to a part of our mind where I can't follow him," Kyuubi sighed, "only humans can go there."
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked
"Another human needs to come into the mindscape or we wait for Naruto to come to me," Kyuubi informed them.
"How long will it take for Naruto to come back," Sakura asked
"Maybe forever," Kyuubi said.

Sakura arrived with Iruka just as the seal was revealed. Iruka gasped at the state Naruto was in. "Good you're here, now we can begin," Kyuubi said. "All but one of you can come." Kyuubi said, "We need one to stay and watch over us."
"I will," said Iruka
"No I will I am stronger then you," Stated Kakashi.
"Okay," Iruka sighed.
"Now each of you needs to touch one of the prongs" Kyuubi said, "Think of Naruto and what you know about him."
"Okay," they said at the same time.
