So, in the last chapter, I realized I have to make things more clear. Thanks Lu Bane Na for the help. And I also received a very interesting review. It states that it was from a guest, but they may just have an account and not wanted to log in so they couldn't be tracked. Anyways, their review is as follows: What a piece of shit story. One Naruto last name is Uzumaki not Uzumaki-Namikaze idiot. Stop using two or more last names.

So, in response I have to say this: I'm not an idiot. I'm a very accomplished fanfiction writer actually. Two, I know my Naruto lore like the back of my hand. Japan's custom tends to follow Americas where if you have a father, you'll take his last name. The Sandaime gave Naruto his mother's last name to protect him. But if I want him to have the name of his father, Namikaze Minato, then I will do as such. Besides, it's part of the story anyway. So don't question my logic unless it's absolutely necessary or you don't get something.

Chapter 3

He was floating, his body suspended in a pool of darkness. As he slowly opened his eyes, his body moved sluggishly, almost as if it were suspended in water. He gasped and looked around, noting how his clothes appeared as they were before the explosion in the Hokage's office. He started panicking, then his tenant invaded his mind, her calming demeanor washing over him and calming the raging torrent that was his mind.

Slowly, a background came into view and he was in his mindscape, the cage of his fox-like mother coming into view. The doors were opened and Kurame was laying there, angered. She was lying in a pool of water and was forcing chakra out of her body to keep the water at bay. It created a circle around herself and she took notice of her son.

"Naruto," she said as she wrapped a tail around him and lifted him on her snout. "Stay out of that."

Naruto looked confused as he struggled to form words and shook his head. "What's going on kaa-chan?"

"After the attack, the humans rushed you to the hospital. Only the trusted doctors of the Sandaime started healing you. But apparently, one of them got paid to fuck you over and put poison in one of your IV bags. It wasn't enough to kill you, but it's stopping me from healing some of your wounds," she said as she growled.

Naruto nodded and he sat on her snout, crossing his arms across his chest and thought for a minute. He looked around and noted that as he saw a reflection of his body in the water and the wounds he suffered. He saw a hole in his left shoulder and minor wounds such as a few cuts and small slit scars that may or may not heal. He then saw the reflection of his right eye. He noticed that the socket was bloody and the eye was gone, the pupil a light blue, signifying that he was blind in that eye. He looked at his foxlike mother and had a serious look in his eyes.

"How strong is the poison? What'll happen if you stop trying to heal me?" he asked, his voice cold and hard.

"If I stop holding it back, it will seep into those wounds and make them permanent. You would lose your right eye entirely," her voice was a whisper, her sadness showing in her eyes. Kurame wasn't able to help the boy she'd considered a son since he was five years old. That pissed her off and it should as the water around her boiled. It did evaporate some of the poison, so you could see the wound in his shoulder heal and his eye regain some color, but Naruto shook his head.

"Kaa-chan," Naruto said as he looked at her, her eyes drooping. "Stop it. Don't exhaust yourself too much."

"But I need to heal you. How can you be a ninja if you can't see?"

"I'll find a way," he stated, his foxlike grin showing. "I always do."

She nodded as she let her eyes close. Light snoring could be heard and the poison pooled around her, slightly soaking her fur. Then, the poison changed color. Naruto looked around, panicking as it seeped up the walls of his mind and attacked the blue pipes that lined his mind. Naruto started screaming, waking Kurame and she looked around and growled.

She took note of the situation, seeing that the blue pipes representing her boy's chakra were quickly deteriorating. She could sense the chakra being released into the air. She could also sense Naruto's pain and could tell if she didn't do something soon. So, she concentrated. Soon, the poison started attempting to break its way into the chakra pipes that represented her chakra seeping into Naruto. She spiked her chakra, causing the pipes to break and expel the poison out of Naruto's system, causing it to seep out of his pores.

But she had to work quickly. His original chakra pathways were destroyed, and she had to make new ones. So, she began reforming them, giving their wayward chakra a way to go. But instead of the color being blue or red, it was purple. It seemed like forever, but she did it, never noticing that Naruto had fallen asleep on her nose.

She shed a tear, knowing that her actions would cause the Shinigami to have the rest of her soul. But she was glad she had used the last of her chakra to heal her son. She set him down on the floor, and changed to her human form, an exact replica of Naruto's mother. She kneeled down and kissed his head, leaving a note and ring on his chest.

"I love you musuko," she muttered, tears streaming down her face as she held in her sobs.

She turned and walked further into her cage, disappearing as she did so, her soul meeting the embrace of the Shinigami that awaited.

-Hospital- (five minutes ago)

Tsunade was furiously working on Naruto, a boy she should've been there for. After she'd received the message from the Old Monkey, Tsunade rushed here from Tanzaku and immediately set to work, only taking a chakra pill to replenish her reserves as she set to work on her godson. She realized now that she should've been here, protecting him, but instead she was drinking away her past when she should've been looking at the present.

Now, she was furious. Furious at herself for never being there, and furious at the fool who attacked the Sandaime. In her way of thinking, if Danzō hadn't attacked Hiruzen, Naruto would be safe. He wouldn't be near death with her fighting to save him. She looked up as she saw a doctor drip something into one of his IV bags. The morphine turned a light purple color and she narrowed her eyes.

"What are you doing?" she said, her voice alearting him.

The doctor turned and looked at her, sweat matting her brow. She calmly looked at the door and then at a scalpel sitting on the desk. She lunged for it, but Tsunade was faster. She grabbed the woman with one hand, while keeping healing chakra in her left going and running it over Naruto's broken frame. She threw the woman in the door, sending a Kage Bunshin there to inform Sarutobi of the situation.

All of a sudden, Naruto's vitals started going haywire. The boy started shaking and lifting off of the table, his body spasming and his mouth open in a silent scream. Acting quickly, she ordered some doctors to hold him down while she strapped him to the bed. His heart rate started spiking and his blood pressure increased.

She ran her chakra over his body and gasped. She saw his chakra pathways disappearing, the poison eating away at them as fast as Naruto ate ramen. She was panicking, knowing that if they completely disappeared, then Naruto would die from the Kyuubi's chakra running rampant in his system. Naruto soon started thrashing so wildly, that they had to grab extra straps for him to stay down and not injure him or anyone else. Red chakra started leaking from him, the seal array used to house the Kyuubi showing on his stomach. Then, the chakra burst and purple liquid started leaking from his wounds. Tsunade calmly took a scalpel and noted that it was the poison. The seal started disappearing and Naruto's vitals calmed down.

Tsunade quickly checked the boy, and saw that his chakra pathways had rebuilt themselves. But there was an issue. Tsunade quickly called Jiraiya in there, the Sandaime rushing in as well. They all checked the seal and gasped. Jiraiya and Tsunade were both apart of a group called the Densetsu no Sannin, the Three Legendary Ninja. The third member of their group had left Konoha seeking power. The Sandaime was disappointed that his most promising pupil had betrayed him, but he somewhat got over it.

"Jiraiya," the Sandaime said. "What's happening?"

"Well sensei," Jiraiya stated, placing his chin in his hand as he was perplexed. "It appears that the Kyuubi willingly gave all of its chakra in an attempt to purge the poison out of Naruto's system. It seemed that it even rebuilt Naruto's pathways, but there's little chakra left. What appears to be left is that of the Kyuubi's, but that should've destroyed his body from the inside out. By all rights the boy should be dead, but he isn't. How, I couldn't tell you. If he wants to be a shinobi, he'll have a tough time trying to be, but he'd have to be put in remedial classes in chakra mol-"

A cold and hardened voice stopped him. "No."

Everyone jumped slightly and looked down, now seeing that Naruto was awake. His fists were clenched, tears streaming out of his one good eye. He looked up at them, determination showing in his eye. He growled as he reached for his eye, yanking it out of the socket. Everyone gasped and started making objections. The boy blinked as the socket quickly started bleeding, but a new eye didn't grow. Naruto looked at them from his remaining left eye, a fire burning in it that hadn't been seen before.

He looked at the Sandaime, the Toad Sage and the Slug Princess.

"Whoever attacked you Sandaime caused my kaa-chan to sacrifice herself for me," he growled. "What was the bastard's name?"

The Sandaime shook his head, "Naruto-kun, I don't think you should be worryi-"

"WHAT WAS HIS NAME!" Naruto all but roared.

"His name is Danzo," the Sandaime muttered. "He was an old rival of mine that wanted my position and would do anything to get it. He wanted me to give you to him as a weapon and when I refused, he attacked me. He knows the whereabouts of the rest of your family, wherever they are scattered. He may try to capture all of them."

Naruto growled. "How long until he finds them?"

Jiraiya shrugged. "Could be anywhere from five weeks to five years."

Naruto nodded. "Then train me. I may not be able to use much chakra, but you can teach me assassination, kenjutsu, stealth, and even the Silent Killing technique."

The Sandaime shook his head. "I don't think that's wise."

Naruto growled. "I can do it Old Man. Now I'm asking you to teach me. Make me into a weapon that everyone expected me to be. Because on my mother's life, I will find that bastard and I will kill him."

All right everyone. That's it for this chapter. Tell me what you think in reviews.
