His ten years of incarceration.
Year 1: My first year of incarceration was interesting to say the least, after my first meeting with the head of the institution, he practically ordered me to write all my experiences down on paper. Thinking about it was a fun meeting anyways where was I yeah over the year in my mindscape Kyuubi Oba-chan taught me maths, reading, calligraphy and basic science stuff along with the history of all the different clans and bloodlines in the elemental nations as well as their geography, she would also teach me about chakra and the different styles of fighting. While this was going on outside all it looked like was meditating sitting in the middle of the room it was good my chakra flow calmed down and gained a little control over it. Kyuubi Oba-chan says that next year we are going to continue with all the theory lessons but add in strategy and a little politics as well as learning the transformation, substitution and because of my chakra capacity the darkness clone and blood clone from my bloodline which from what she said sends back their memories to me but are also much harder to kill than a normal or shadow clone. I also celebrated my birthday… by myself but I figured that since mum and my sisters were being controlled by Namikaze I wouldn't be getting any visitors I hoped that someone may come maybe even kitty-chan but she's an ANBU and the Hokage has probably done something to stop her from visiting. It's not all bad though foods good once you get pass how it looks, Oba-chan is really caring she sometimes sings me to sleep or tells me stories about the old days it is really cool, I can't help but smile every time I think about you mum, Akio, Nayoko and Kitty-chan your faces and smiles are what are going to help me survive this place…. Got to stop someone's coming can't let them find what I am writing.
Year 2: This year went in much the same way as last year learning the stuff Oba-chan teaches me, half way through the year I mastered the transformation, substation and dark and blood clones to the point of not needing any hand seals which she said was impressive but she put it down to me being such a good student, anyway she has had me learn the dark style: hells darkness. It's such a cool jutsu depending on the chakra amount I use it makes the entire room or areas covered in darkness and because of my bloodline I become one with the darkness, hearing, smell and sight are all rendered useless in this jutsu which is great. Oba-chan said she wouldn't teach me another jutsu until I can do this one with one or less hand seals. Also Oba-chan has started me in my clan Taijutsu that revolves around quick and powerful strike and always trying to avoid direct confrontation, Hehehe kind of ignored the last part of avoid confrontation and tweaked it with Oba-chan so now I don't need to, I'm insane for a reason. Anyway my second birthday was spent alone in this stark room which is still depressing but I understand the reasons behind it all, in my spare time I started writing letters to mum and my sisters and kitty-chan, kind of saddening that I might never see them again oh well, but I still keep remembering their smiles.
Year 3 & 4: Not much difference from the previous two years other than moving onto basic sealing techniques, and learning the jutsu blood style: blood whips, by manipulating my blood with chakra I can extend the blood from my fingertips creating ten foot long whips, it was hard at first but now I can extend them from all my fingers and change the thickness of them. Another technique I got to learn was dark style: shadow hounds dependant on chakra usage I create shadowy hounds the size of a fully grown wolf that attack anything I tell them to. My Taijutsu is also progressing quite well as well and yeah oh yeah I am starting to learn some sword styles but it is kinda hard when in my mindscape and imagining a sword, that reminds me will have to ask Oba-chan if I can create a sword using my blood or the darkness. The only problem being in a white room you lose track of time so I can only assume that right now I am nine years old right now but that doesn't really matter. Heh till next time.
Year 5: this year was interesting other than learning I can manipulate other peoples blood, I don't know the time or the date but the hokage arrived with Jiraiya of the Sannins and some ROOT ANBU they placed me in chains while I was forcibly made to kneel in the middle of the room, they then attached the collar and chain around my neck to the back wall making it so I could tilt my head forward a little when I want sleep, in my kneeling position they chained around my calves to the ground tight enough I couldn't move but not so I would lose circulation lastly they chained my arms to the walls either side of the room with a little slack so I could move them a little but not much, then the hokage and the Sannins started writing seals on the chains on my arms when finished they were then I realised weight seals he then walked to the back wall and put up a chakra drainage seal up but it didn't do much to my monstrous reserves but I didn't care all I cared about at that moment was wiping that smug grin off the Hokage's face but for obvious reasons I couldn't, the rest of the year was uneventful only being able to meditate and practice my jutsu without hand seals, I kept my Taijutsu up in my mindscape, it wasn't until later that I realised that the muscles in my arms were repeatedly ripping and reforming making them stronger and more durable to, the only reason I can think this happened was that the fat bastard caught me and ratted me out to the hokage. My blood manipulation has gotten to the point that I can control the strand of blood that is writing this, Oba-chan is still teaching and training me and making sure my muscles don't break down too much, she was also very upset when I was chained and is now more caring than ever which is nice, I still remember you're smiles.
Year 6, 7, 8 & 9: these last four years much the same as the fifth year of my incarceration in the institute except that one event around my seventh year here the hokage came again with that same irritating smug grin and the same people Jiraiya and the ROOT ANBU in tow, unchaining me they dragged me over to the wall and walked up it about half way up they put around my waist a chain and connected it to the wall they then bound my arm spread full length either side of me they then strapped my legs together and chained them to the wall as well and just add to it they out a leather strap around my forehead so I couldn't move, that was then when they started adding more bindings to what I already had by the time they had finished I was pretty much in a crucified style hung halfway up the wall glaring daggers out at the hokage who then said to me 'now you will never be free to corrupt the world with your insanity you hell spawn' he then turned his back to me and started walking out that was when I started to laugh no it was a giggle a sinister one as well it slowly progressed into full blown laugh that sent shivers down the backs of everyone in the institution, you know what the idiot said when I slowly stopped laughing at him he asked what was so funny I just replied 'I know everything and if you think these bonds can keep me forever think again Hokage sama' I said it with so much venom hate filled insanity that the ROOT with all their emotional training took a slight step back in fear. At this point the silly little hokage left with his minions as the door closed I let loose and insane laugh that from what Oba-chan said lasted hours and that the people of the leaf didn't get much sleep that night in fear of someone coming after them. Like always my birthdays were lonely but oba-chan was there and mum, Akio, Nayoko and kitty-chan within my heart.
Year 10: My tenth year here in the institute and my 4th hanging from the wall like some dammed trophy which thinking about is kind of funny in a way anyway like the last nine years I kept practicing seal-less jutsu with lots of success even getting to the point I learn the hand seals in my mindscape and practice a few times to get a feel for the chakra and how it moulds and flows and bam try it for a couple days outside hanging and the jutsu works pretty well to, my other learning has gone well since Oba-chan has drilled my studies into me over the last ten years my sealing is according to Oba-chan nearly as good as mama's which I am happy about in my mind I managed to create a sword of blood but the darkness was too hard to manipulate anyway continuing on that vain my last birthday was interesting…
'Hey Oba-chan someone is coming to our door…' thought Naruto as he let go of his blood that he was manipulating, "now my little kittling this person doesn't seem to hold any negative emotions for you… but let's wait and see" replied Kyuubi from one of the thrones she was sat on.
About two hours before.
We see Kushina carrying her three year old baby boy Tetsuya that reminded her of her eldest son so much, just behind her were her two daughters both had taken after their father blonde hair and blue eyes their bodies however, in the ripe age of 15 inherited her body as well but at this point in time on smaller proportions. At this point she was going to see the old third hokage at his home seeing as though he was all by himself after the nine tails incident so every now and then she would visit with the kids when she first turned up around ten years ago, the old sarutobi wondered where Naruto was but Kushina for the life of her couldn't tell him but minato said he disappeared somewhere but that was all he would say, getting knocked out of her thoughts when Tetsuya tugged on her shirt and said "Mum we are here at Grandpa's house" said Tetsuya innocently.
Kushina smiled at her son and nodded she was about to knock when the wizened sarutobi open the door smiling at them and ushering them in while welcoming them in. he then led them to the living room where the tea was set out seeing Konohamaru outside who was the same age as Tetsuya he turned to Kushina "would little Tetsu-kun like to go play with Kon outside while us four talk and catch up" nodding her head Kushina placed Tetsuya down and told him to go play outside which he happily obliged to. With him gone Sarutobi sighed and thought of another little Uzumaki that had disappeared ten years ago shaking his of those thoughts he smiled and looked at Kushina and her daughters Akio the eldest one and Nayoko the younger one by 30 seconds he asked how they were doing and the such like he then asked if the girls were looking forward to graduating the academy in a couple of days, they both nodded their head that were looking forward to it. The girls then asked if he could tell them a story from the days he was a student to the first and second hokage and Mito Uzumaki their Great, great grandaunt. Sarutobi happily went into a story about the good old days as he was doing so he saw a seal appear pulsing a light blue and then disappearing again.
Getting curious he told Kushina to hold still a second holding the ram sign sarutobi said sealing art: release and placed his hand on her forehead causing a light to appear when the light disappeared Kushina remembered the night Naruto disappeared and what minato did to her standing bolt straight she said announced "I NEED TO SAVE MY BABY FROM THE INSTITUTION", before she could bolt out the door Sarutobi grabbed her hand and told her to sit and said "Kushina we need to see if any of the children have any seals placed on them cause the one on you was a memory suppression seal" said Sarutobi with a commanding voice, Kushina whose eyes widened looked at her daughters before letting her Uzumaki blood kick in scanned them for seals and found two on them, growling she released both seals only for them to have their hair change to the same as hers black and red and eyes change to the same deep ruby red as hers as well other than that nothing else except for the fact they remembered their older brother and started to cry holding each other and asking where he disappeared off to.
Looking at sarutobi Kushina asked if he could check Tetsuya for any seals. When he went she wrapped them up and told them everything that had happened from what she could remember that is when she finished let's say we have three very pissed off Uzumaki women not a good thing when they are predisposed to being border line insane and dark naturally, when Sarutobi came back he was holding a sleeping Tetsuya in his arms and said "he had a seal that supressed what his hair looked like, sighing Kushina asked if they could leave Tetsuya here while they went to the institution to get Naruto back with his insanity hopefully intact. Smiling Sarutobi agreed but said "think about this first he has been locked up for ten years now you might not be the people he will want to see at this point in time let me speak to him first and find out if he blames you guys for what has happened okay" said the Elder in a firm tone befitting a war veteran.
Sighing the three Uzumaki nodded in defeat knowing he was right about it all. Putting down Tetsuya. They all headed to the institution to free their Brother/ Son and surrogate grandson.
At the door of Naruto's cell after Kushina had to beat the receptionist to a pulp for refusing to tell them Sarutobi slowly opened the door only to be assaulted by a fit of insane laughter from the occupant within. This laughter reached the ears of the three women and they nearly burst into tears at it. But then he spoke…
With Naruto when the door opened he saw Hiruzen Sarutobi his Jiji walk in and he started to laugh insanely while casting the hells darkness over himself so he couldn't see him, "Hehehe HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Monkey Jiji long time no see, how did you get my location from the bastard Hokage" said Naruto from the infinite darkness he was in making it all the more off putting.
Sarutobi wasn't hokage for nothing said with authority "Naruto drop the jutsu and show yourself and the Hokage didn't tell me." Naruto who still had a mad grin on his face dropped the Jutsu showing Sarutobi his prison on the wall, ignoring the look of outrage, anger and shock Naruto spoke "strange he said no one knew accept himself, your student the toad and Danzo. Even stranger the only other person according to Aunty was my mother but she had her memories sealed by the bastard the night I was taken possibly the same with my sisters they also have an appearance seal on them like I did but I got rid of it thanks to Aunty."
Sarutobi was curious as to who his aunty is but filed it away for later, he then growled at the names and said "What if I said your mother, sisters and baby brother were all unsealed what would you do then" asked Sarutobi hoping Naruto wasn't lost to them.
Laughing again for a few minutes calmed down and said "I would hug the person and pay them a huge wad of ryo if they were male same thing for a woman probably kiss them instead, and go searching for them and tell them how much I missed them all move to the dark palace Great, great grand aunties place and do anything in my power to kill the people responsible for this entire mess." Said Naruto as he looked at the ground and began to sob uncontrollably, Kyuubi watched on with a smile as she may have forgotten to tell him that his mother and sisters were right outside the cell listening. As he was crying Kushina, Akio and Nayoko came into the room only to gasp in shock at how their brother/son was being imprisoned. Hearing the new sound he looked up to see his mother and sisters in front of him he hesitantly asked "M-mum, Akio-chan, Nayoko-chan is that you" they smiled and nodded at him warming his heart that had gone cold over the last ten years, the Uzumaki women then ran up the wall and started undoing the chains and other bindings until he was completely free he dropped to the ground using chakra to cushion his fall, his family members followed suit surprised he could do that he grinned madly seeing there looks and said "I'll tell you later, Hey Jiji by the bed your sitting on underneath the mattress is some writings could you grab them" said Naruto to the man, sarutobi nodded and did so. While that happened Kushina, Akio and Nayoko took in their brother/sons appearance he had very pale skin almost ivory, the same black and red hair as them with one bang covering his left eye, the sides of his head were cut short and the hair on top and at the back just went wild mainly spiking up in all directions his hair also reached mid back as well his eyes were intriguing gone were the blues that the seal caused, his eyes were similar to theirs but different instead of a black pupil his was pink they then took in the rest of his body he was reasonably tall around 5'11 slightly taller than Kushina, he had a well-toned stomach somehow, defined muscular arms but not bulky, his clothing was interesting of something akin to black leather pants with black closed toe sandals, on his top half he wore what looked like two leather straps in a cross shape and that was it. He had two bracelets that were blood red on his right wrist, a piercing under his bottom lip and four ring piercings on his right ear and one eyebrow piercing. Just then the man Naruto over the year's dubbed Fat bastard came running in "OI where do you think you're going" he said.
Naruto on the other hand grinned evilly and said "Tell me you fat bastard… are you afraid of the dark", the man for his part said "what are you talking about"
Naruto didn't respond all that happened was that everything went dark very quickly followed by screams of pain and terror filling the air. Kushina for her just giggled which if seen Akio asked "what's funny mama" Kushina giggled again "he mastered that jutsu to such an extent he doesn't need hand signs or words that and by the sounds of things he is torturing the man now, he's even better than me at that jutsu I still need one hand sign and words." Akio if you could see her made an O face. Just as Kushina finished what she said the darkness evaporated leaving a corpse of man who looked like he had been flayed they also noticed that the man's arms and legs were unattached to anything but they also noticed Naruto was nowhere to be seen "what the hell where did he go" said a frustrated Nayoko, just then they heard a giggle from Sarutobi who they looked at only to see him point behind them, as they were about to turn around three blood whips wrapped around their waists and tugged them into Naruto's embrace, at that point Kushina looked down and saw the blood whip and smirked before saying "so the blood style of our clan as well anything else we should know Sochi-kun" she purred out making him shiver slightly but at that same moment Akio, Nayoko and Kyuubi all thought the same thing 'is she flirting with nii/oi-kun'
Deciding he had enough of being in the cell Naruto asked if they could lead the way out.
Outside the institute
Naruto sucks in his first lung full of fresh air in 10 years, smiling he turns around and says "well I'm going to the dark palace seeing as that is where I will be living from now on and I assume now that you know the truth you will be moving to the palace as well" not giving them time to answer starts again "good, brilliant let's get moving" he all but shouted and was about to take off when Kushina grabbed him by the ear dragging him back "ow what hell no fair leme go" he whined childishly.
Sighing Kushina spoke "thank you lord Sarutobi for what you have done but I ask of one more thing would you mind picking up Tetsuya kun and bringing him to the palace" the old sarutobi smiled and disappeared in a swirl of leaves, turning to her insane son she spoke with a glare "you young man are not leaving my sight got that." Naruto started to sweat bullets when she finished and thought 'man she's scarier than you Oba-chan' stuttered Naruto, Kyuubi for her part humped and replied "that's because I can't do you harm in this thrice dammed seal other than shout and hopefully give you a head ache" Naruto just paled at the thought of it.
Naruto nodded his head in defeat at what Kushina said, smiling she turned to her other children who were giggling at their brothers demise of catching their mothers ire they stopped when she turned to them, Kushina then spoke "Akio go home and seal all our stuff including the Uzumaki scrolls in the library and Nayoko can you go and find Tsume-chan and Mikoto-chan for me and tell them to meet me at the palace they will understand" the two girls nodded and ran to do their appointed tasks.
Turning back to Naruto who was still massaging his ear heard him grumble "any harder and me ear would have come off dam gorilla hands" he then looked up when he felt some killer intent (KI) and blood lust in the air and went an even paler shade of white than he already was due to being locked up for ten years. Thinking quickly he hugged Kushina and apologised for whatever he did when he felt the KI and blood lust disappear he sighed and thought 'smooth Naruto smooth'.
Grabbing his hand Kushina led Naruto through the village letting him get accustomed to everything after about an hour of walking around the village, only to hear the villagers whisper as they semi recognise the boy walking next to Kushina.
Kushina led Naruto to the dark palace only to see around 20 ROOT ANBU looking around the grounds trying to find a way into the palace proper, growling Naruto and Kushina got ready to take out half while possible trying to catch some of them in the process, Naruto deciding to in his words "FUCK stealth" ran through some hand signs and said dark style: shadow hounds jutsu as he said that 10 properly large hounds appeared the top of their backs around the 5'4 mark mentally ordering the hounds they took off to attempt to catch some of them. Naruto then manipulated his blood making ten whips one from each finger Kushina withdrew her sword. The ROOT who heard the barking of the hounds looked up to see Naruto and Kushina in front of them, leaving the shadow hounds to capture their prey Naruto took five of the remaining ten and Kushina the other five Naruto threw out his whips and grabbed the five ROOT around there necks and slowly started to manipulate the blood whips so it would choke the ROOT to death, Kushina simply went at it with her sword hacking and stabbing whoever got in her way, the thing that scared the ROOT the most was the insane smile both had plastered across their faces and that's saying something ROOT emotionless droids hard to get a reaction. By the time Kushina finished she turned to see Naruto still slowly cutting off the air to the root shinobi sighing she shouted "NARUTO STOP PLAYING ALREADY WOULD YOU" Naruto turned smiled and nodded in response and tugged on the whips breaking their necks in the process. Smiling at his handiwork he and Kushina walk around the corner to find 3 dead ROOT members and 7 alive ones being guarded by the 10 hounds Kushina looks at Naruto and asks "what are you planning to do with them" she asks curiously. Naruto smiles and says "according to Oba-chan all the ROOT members have a jiujutsu on their tongues that stops them from saying things about their leader by destroying their brains and killing them. What I was hoping was you could remove the seals then we make them swear loyalty to us and bam instant security guards while we are out on missions." Said Naruto with a smile on pointing to one of the ROOT one of the hounds drags said shinobi over to them.
Reaching down Naruto removes the mask to see a girl no older than 10 sitting their sighing he crouches down and speaks, "do you like Danzo nod for yes shake for no."
All he got was a shake of the head, nodding to himself Naruto asks again "where are your parents"
The girl replied in a voice devoid of emotion "Someone killed them then that same night Danzo took me in"
Hearing this Naruto asked "do you want that seal removed do you want… freedom" he asked so that everyone heard.
The girl smiled a really bad creepy smile that Naruto laughed at for a second before grinning and saying "I take that as a yes", she just nodded and then stuck her tongue out to show them the seal.
Kushina smiled at the sight 'he may be insane but he is Uzumaki insane when on the field of battle and when people anger him but he has a heart of gold if this scene is anything to go by' thought Kushina noticing her tongue she inspected the seal and then mutter something that no one heard she then pulled out a pot of ink and a brush and started drawing a seal over the old one and then touching with her finger poured some chakra into it and then watched as her seal and the old one disappeared into nothing. Smiling down at the girl who sat there patiently said "the seal has been removed sweetie come stand over hear while we look about talking to the other six" nodding the girl hugged Kushina quickly then stood to one side. In the end the other six ROOT were all new initiates to ROOT and all asked to have the seal removed so they would be free? Once done Kushina and Naruto turned and looked at the seven young shinobi with Kushina speaking "we have freed you, you are welcome to stay here at the palace, but if you stay you will act as guards and keep anyone out that has not been invited especially when we are out on mission, we will of course pay you weekly wages which are yours to do with as you see fit." She finished all seven of them went to one knee while one stepped forward surprisingly the little girl from before and she spoke "we would like to stay and guard our new home and masters" Naruto and Kushina just smiled at them and led them inside.
When Nayoko arrived she was let in by the new gate guards with no problem entering the palace foyer she looked around awed it was huge looking to her left was a large spiralling staircase that disappeared around the corner walking forward she entered the living room where she saw her brother lounging on a Victorian style red leather couch while their mother sat like a proper lady on a love seat talking to Naruto while sipping her tea, she also saw her sister Akio over by one of the book shelves scanning an old manuscript of Mito's and was Tetsuya was sitting next to Kushina staring at his brother in awe while asking random questions during the conversation. Taking a look at the room she saw a massive fireplace and a couple of large book cases on the walls as well as a grand piano Naruto then says "I'm going out I'll be back later I need to… find someone" standing up he turned and saw his sister Nayoko their smiling he bought her into a hug and kissed her on the forehead before disappearing leaving a black wisp where he stood. Walking over to her mother she poured herself a cup of tea and sat down where Naruto used to be before saying "Mikoto-chan and Tsume-chan said they would be over around seven just after Tetsuya-kun has been put to bed" she said softly while taking a sip of her drink. Kushina just nodded and they sat in silence.
With Naruto
Walking out the front gate of the palace he headed for his secret spot that his ANBU guard Neko or as he used to call her kitty-chan would take him sometimes bringing up a mental picture of it he sighed remembering the water fall that emptied out into a natural hot spring surrounded by forest with a family of foxes living close by that he would often play with while Neko would sit and laugh at his antics and sometimes join in, he then remembered one time it was his Kitty-chan birthday, he remembered being so excited even going as far to get his mother to seal his gift in a scroll, then leading his kitty-chan to their secret spot he pulled out the scroll and said happy birthday as he gave it to her. He then chuckled at how speechless she became when she unsealed the scroll reveal a rather large plush two tails cat demon. Then she laughed and gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek, then he remember that night both lying next to each other watching the stars, then her soft angelic voice singing as he drifted off to sleep:
Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, you shall be king
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly that told me so
Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly, some to the fork
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm
Lavender's green, dilly, dilly, Lavender's blue
If you love me, dilly, dilly, I will love you
Let the birds sing, dilly, dilly, and the lambs play
We shall be safe, dilly, dilly, out of harm's way
I love to dance, dilly, dilly, I love to sing
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, you'll be my king
Who told me so, dilly, dilly, who told me so?
I told myself, dilly, dilly, I told me so
Smiling to himself as he remembered that night, the clearing came to view as he got closer he heard that oh so familiar angelic singing voice sing that song.
In the clearing moments before was ANBU Neko but going as a civilian so she was there as Yuugao sitting in the middle of the clearing she couldn't help but think of her blonde charge from ten years ago and his sudden disappearance, sighing she sat there and started singing what had become their song they would sing together in private:
Lavender's blue, dilly, dilly, lavender's green
When I am queen, dilly, dilly, you shall be king
Who told you so, dilly, dilly, who told you so?
'Twas my own heart, dilly, dilly that told me so…
Just as she was about to sing the next verse an oddly familiar yet deeper voice rung out through the clearing:
Call up your men, dilly, dilly, set them to work
Some to the plough, dilly, dilly, some to the fork
Some to make hay, dilly, dilly, some to cut corn
While you and I, dilly, dilly, keep ourselves warm
As the voice receded and stopped Yuugao jumped and quickly got into a defensive position in case it was an enemy. Just then she noticed the owner of the voice step out of the shadow of the trees and say something she thought she would never hear again "Hello Kitty-chan, long time huh." As he finished he found himself on his back with a kunai at his throat with an extremely mad Yuugao glaring at him "you are not allowed to call me that the only person disappeared 10 years ago" she spat out at him.
Naruto decided to calm the woman and said "11 years ago, on your birthday in the middle of this clearing, I gave you a scroll right…" he asked, all he got was a stiff nod continuing "… in the scroll was a plush of the two tail cat demon, you then laughed, gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek…" pausing he felt the kunai ease in pressure deciding to prove it was him he said "and that night we sat under the stars and as I drifted off to sleep you sang that song and whenever we could after that night we would sing it together remember, and if you still don't believe me look at my stomach while I mould some chakra." Said Naruto hurriedly, he may be insane but he isn't stupid. Yuugao getting off the teenager watched as an, oh so familiar seal appears around his navel. That was it as soon as the seal disappeared Naruto found himself engulfed in a hug with Yuugao crying into his chest and saying "what happened, why did you leave without saying anything, do you know how upset I was after your disappearance."
Naruto gently rubbed her back waiting for her to calm down a bit before speaking "Kitty you remember what my mother told you and the other two about Uzumaki being born practically insane…" look down he saw her nod "well my father from the age of two to five had my other babysitters while you were on missions attack me psychologically pushing me ever closer to actually being clinically insane, when I was five my father if you could even call him that placed memory seals on my mother and sisters before knocking me out with the help of ROOT shinobi they then took me to the L.S.M.I where they locked me up for ten years, during my time there I meet my tenant who I now call Aunty seeing as she sees herself as such since she watched me and my sisters develop in my mother's womb, I trained my bloodline ninjutsu as well as the academy three, I also learned a bit of Tai and Kenjutsu as well but I need a better instructor for that, well anyway after about five years they ended up chaining me to the ground in a kneeling position with my arms spread, but I managed to do my ninjutsu without seals and such like for my hand to hand and sword skills I went into my mindscape which is only accessible to a Jinchuuriki and practiced with Oba-chan…" pausing he looked down at Yuugao who was looking very upset but proud at what he did in his training, continuing he said "after a couple of years training they came back the hokage, Jiraiya and some ROOT they then un-chained me but instead of leaving me alone they carried me halfway up the way the wall and chained me in a crucified position where I stayed hanging until this morning when old Sarutobi released the seal on my mother and sisters and baby brother. Now I am hear telling you about it." Finished Naruto.
Yuugao could only cry some more before saying "I'm so sorry for what happened to you… is there any way I can make it up to you" she asked. Naruto smiled and said "no need for any of that kitty-chan, but if you really want to if I remember correctly you are good with a sword think you could teach me?", Yuugao for her part squealed when he asked that and said she would love to. Lapsing into a comfortable silence Yuugao had to ask the question that had been gnawing away at her when she first realised it was Naruto "hey chibi fox what's with the hair and eyes last time I checked you were a blonde" she said with her voice oozing with curiosity. Naruto just smirked and said "Amazing what you can do with seals especially when said person applies it the same night you are born". Yuugao was smart enough to put two and two together. And said "well you look better this way."
"Yuugao" Naruto looks at her when he says her name with a serious look.
"Yes" she replied.
As she finished he leaned forward and captured her lips with his for a brief couple of seconds before pulling away from her and looking at the ground wondering why he did that. Yuugao on the other hand her mind just went blank for second or two until it rebooted she started to panic think 'what the hell just happened, he kissed me but why granted he is kind of cute and age doesn't matter he hasn't even left the academy yet what do I say, think Yuugao dammit'
Naruto just sat there with a thoughtful expression thinking of reasons why he did what he just did. Just then he heard Yuugao speak "Why tell me why you did that please." Naruto gaining a soft smile unlike his insane grin said "when I was in the institution thinking about you was one of the things that stopped me from losing myself, and somewhere down the line it turned into love the first thing I did after moving into the dark palace was come looking for you" he said softly which is so out of character for him. Yuugao sat there digesting what she had just heard she to then realised that not only did she become attached to her charge she too fell for him, making up her mind she crawls forward to Naruto who is sitting with his head bowed, gets under and captures his lips in a sensual kiss, taking Naruto by surprise for a second before returning the kiss himself he then rubs his tongue against her lips asking for entry accepting she opens her mouth for him and they start a tongue war which causes Yuugao to moan into his mouth a little, pulling away for air they look at each other before smiling.
Naruto then stands up helping her in the process and wraps his arm around her waist and disappears only leaving a black wisp. Arriving outside the main gate of the palace Naruto nods to the guards who let them in. Walking in the front door of the palace with his arm still around Yuugao's waist he watches her reaction to the palace. Chuckling to himself he then led her into the living room where we can see Kushina lying on the love seat with Tetsuya on her lap attempting to read a book with her help, Akio is now sat cross legged on the floor reading through various manuscripts left by Mito and Nayoko is reading some sheet music and attempting to play the grand piano. Looking at Yuugao he sees her smiling at the scene, doing what Naruto does best he can't contain himself and starts giggling when he hears Tetsuya say fuck instead of fluck, drawing everyone's attention to him, Akio and Nayoko were wide eyed at the fact he had this stunning woman in his arms she had straight, purple hair reaching down to her waist, warm brown eyes, and a shade of red lipstick. Average height, c cup bust, shapely ass and mile long legs which was covered by a blue skirt that reaches just below her knees and a purple T-shirt with white strappy shoes. All in all they thought she was very pretty and she looked good next to Naruto who was a complete contrast. Kushina on the other hand went into mother mode picking up Tetsuya she walked over to the two and said "Naruto dear, are you going to introduce us to your girlfriend" she said while handing Tetsuya to Naruto who held him in his free arm rested against his hip, gulping he replied "mum you remember Kitty-chan right well her real name is Yuugao Uzuki".
Wriggling out of Naruto's hold Yuugao did a quick curtsy and said "a pleasure to meet you again lady Uzumaki." Smiling Kushina hugged the woman and said "no need to be so formal my dear you can tell me all about how you two got together later but first you wouldn't mind put Tetsu-chan here to bed would you" smiling Yuugao nodded then her and Naruto walked upstairs together to put him down.
Turning to the girls Kushina said "right you two we need to clear some more space and make more tea for when Tsume and Mikoto come round." She finished with a clap as the three set to work.
Up in Tetsuya's new room which he was very excited about like any three year old. After getting to stand still long enough Yuugao helped him into his Pyjamas and carried him to bed while Naruto started looking at some of the toys (insane right) looking up he saw Yuugao glare at him putting the toy down he walked over to them. Yuugao then asked Tetsuya if he would like a lullaby sung or a story. Getting a thinking face on he thought for a second before saying "me want a song" he said enthusiastically. Nodding she looked at Naruto who couldn't think of any then Yuugao literally had a light bulb go off above her head freaking the hell out of the two males, deciding to ask where the light bulbs came from later. Yuugao leaned up a little and whispered what song would be good nodding they both start to sing quietly but don't account for the door being open and their voices carrying downstairs to where Kushina and the girls are welcoming in Tsume and Mikoto who hear them sing the lullaby:
[Hook]
Sleep baby sleep
what are you waiting for?
The morning's on its way
You know it's only just a dream
Oh sleep baby sleep
I lie next to you
The beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
[Verse 1]
I could be the one to give you all I am
With a gentle touch and a foolish love
You could be the one to carry all my troubles away
With the words you say, all I need to hear so
[Hook]
Sleep baby sleep
what are you waiting for?
The morning's on its way
you know it's only just a dream
Oh sleep baby sleep
I lie next to you
the beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
[Verse 2]
Ignorance is torture but your love is right
Tip to tip a gentleman of the night
Feed my fascination a way our skin likes silk
And I'm still filled with wonder you could fool me easily so
[Hook]
Sleep baby sleep
what are you waiting for?
The morning's on its way
you know it's only just a dream
Oh sleep baby sleep
I lie next to you
the beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
[Bridge]
So lay here and press up next to me
Cause we'll be alright, we'll be alright
but when we leave I know it's hard
Cause it's all we know but we'll be alright, we'll be alright, right
[Hook]
Sleep baby sleep
what are you waiting for?
The morning's on its way
you know it's only just a dream
Oh sleep baby sleep
I lie next to you
the beauty of this mess is that it brings me close to you
At the end of the song little Tetsuya is fast asleep, looking at each other they quietly walk out the room downstairs to find Kushina wiping tears from her face while Akio and Nayoko look at their brother thinking 'what the hell no way' Mikoto and Tsume are shocked that well it is really Naruto standing in front of them, alive and well.
Sitting down on the couch with Yuugao now sat next to him with her feet and legs draped over his lap while resting her head on his shoulder, Kushina went and sat back down on the love seat Akio and Nayoko sat on another couch and Mikoto chose a comfy looking armchair while Tsume chose the other arm chair. Deciding to speak Kushina said "I have an announcement…" looking round seeing she had everyone's attention continued "… I am going to be leaving Minato for what he has done to this family" seeing Yuugao not confused boiled it down to Naruto already telling her, the triplets weren't all that shocked or bothered if allowed Naruto probably would have started dancing around the room, the girls looked happy at what she said. The only people that were confused were Mikoto and Tsume who looked at her like she had grown a second head and a tail, seeing this Kushina explained the whole thing to them from Naruto's incarceration, to the seals placed on each of them. At the end to say they were beyond pissed would be an understatement and readily agreed with what she was doing.
Turning to Naruto the two women looked at him until Mikoto spoke "uh Naruto-kun do you remember us" asked Mikoto with some concern seeing as this was her best friends son and all. Naruto on the other hand got a look of horror and indignation before retorting "HEY I may be insane and slightly blood crazed in certain activities but I don't have a bad memory, in fact I have a great one Kyuubi was right this is going to suck if every person is going to look at me and ask the same questions gees I mean come on…" his little mini rant lasted all of three minutes before Kushina got annoyed and bonked him on the head to shut him up. He then looked around and said "Hey what the hell did I do" this caused everyone to face palm before Tsume looked at Mikoto before saying quietly but still loud enough for everyone to hear "yep definitely Naruto he did the same when he was five and Kushina reacted the same way it kinda like déjà vu" Mikoto could only agree before bursting out laughing at the look Kushina was sending their way, Akio was rolling around laughing remember exactly what incident Tsume was talking about and Nayoko was giggling away to herself, Naruto didn't know what incident they were talking about and Yuugao was giggling into her hand. After everyone had calmed down Mikoto turned serious and asked "Kushina what is your plan exactly" Kushina just pointed at Naruto who to looked serious and started talking "well what I want is mum for you to retake the Uzumaki seat on the council and oppose the hokage at every turn. And I was hoping you two would be of some help in doing the same unless it hurts your clan that about sums it up oh and we need to do something about the civilians in the council now that I think about it…" turning to Yuugao who was next to him said "I know this may be asking a lot but before the hokage finds out about us you may want to retire from ANBU and become a regular jonin or something cause I won't know what I will do if the hokage sends you on a suicide mission just to spite me." Yuugao just realised that could very well happen to her nodded her head and saying she would file the paperwork tomorrow morning. Mikoto and Tsume both agreed to blocking the hokage at every turn when possible and also agreed the civilians were getting out of hand and too much power. The two women stayed a while longer just to talk and ask Naruto different questions about things and testing him in different areas like maths, science, history, politics, geography and so on and so forth they even asked him to perform the academy three which he did without hand seals which impressed them immensely looking at the time it said 9:00 pm sighing Mikoto and Tsume said they had to go to check on their children and go to bed and they disappeared via shunshin. Seeing that the new couple wanted a little alone time Kushina ushered Akio and Nayoko up the stairs while Naruto led Yuugao to the front door.
Turning to her new boyfriend Yuugao spoke up "I'll resign from ANBU tomorrow morning, oh and what you said today at the clearing and just before was sweet thank you." Leaning up a little and him leaning down met in the middle kissing each other for a minute. Breaking apart Yuugao said three words that would make Naruto extremely happy "I love you" and with that she too disappeared in a swirl of leaves. Naruto closed the door and walked up stairs to his room and fell asleep seconds after his head hit the pillow the first pillow in 4 years.
