Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters here that belong to Naruto that I put into this story except for my own OCs. Neither do I own any of the character in any of the crossovers I do. I'm just using them in this fanfiction and I have no money so don't bother suing me. You'll just lose money instead of gaining any. And remember to leave a review!

For two weeks Naruto was kept in the hospital under guard and under the care of Shizune. As since she isn't a ninja, Naruto was more open to her then to anyone else. Tsuande had been mapping out all the operations that Naruto is going to need to fix his body right, since the doctors that treated him never bothered to set his bones right, so she's going to have to rebreak them and set them right. Then there's the other operations that needs to be done and having to wait for him to recover before she can do another operation.
Currently she and Jiraiya are in the hokage tower with the council to talk about the training that Naruto is going to be needing. Which won't be for at least 2 years as Tsuande figures that's how much time it's going to take for Naruto to be in any shape to begin his training. She doesn't want to overtax his body by using any jutsus that would speed up his recovery. As those jutsus made use of the condition of the person's body to speed up their healing. And since Naruto is in poor health and his body is weak, that would just make it harder for Naruto to recover.
"Wait why can't, I be the one who will train him? I train his father," Jiraiya said as he stares at Tsuande.
"Because your training is sink or swim and with how Naruto is, that would just mental scar him even worse then he is now. Or are you forgetting how many times his father and his teammates ended up in the hospital because of your training," Tsuande pointed out. (1)
"Will you be training him then?" Sarutobi ask his old student.
"No, I can't train him either. My training would just scar him as well, as he is now. He needs someone that he can trust and knows that they care for his well being. Which neither of us are to him. The time it would take for us to gain his trust would cost us too much time. We need to get him to stop seeing everything to do with ninjas as monsters. We need to take his emotional state into consideration. Naruto to become the hero we need him to be, first needs to feel that he's apart of something, something worth giving his life for. Which can't happen as we first have to appeal to him. We have to earn his trust," Tsuande stated.
"What about rewriting his memories?" Yamanaka Inoichi suggested.
"That would work but the seal is self aware and if Naruto mind has been mess with. It wouldn't matter if Naruto is as powerful as the sage was, if the seal disapproves of him being brainwashed. Then all the hard work will be for nothing," Jiraiya explains.
"You are sure that Naruto is the one?" one council member ask.
"He is. If we hadn't gone and killed Butcher, he would have attack the village to kill Kushina while she was still carrying Naruto. We were lucky that we killed him when we did, he was planning on attacking the village after that last payment," Jiraiya explains causing all the people in the room to nod in agreement. They weren't kidding themselves in thinking that if Butcher had attack the village, few of them in the room would even be still alive.
"We just need to show Naruto some love and he'll come around," Donzo said. "I can start him in the Root's training."
"No out of the question," Sarutobi said. "The roots program will break him. Or are you willing to gamble that the seal won't agree to what that kind of program does to him?"
"The seal was made to look through Naruto's life and see if he's worthy of being the one who will save the ninja world. We're already going to have hard enough time to make up for all the years of hell he's been put through. Hopefully what we'll do from now on will be enough for the seal," Jiraiya said.
"What about disabling the seal?" one elder ask.
"It be the same as disconnecting a water pipe while the water is still on. All that power that the seal has gathered will all be released all at once. It's so massive that it encircles all the element countries. It be the biggest bomb tag that will ever be set off," Jiraiya explains.
"Then what kind of training do you have in mind?" Donzo ask.
"To start off with we need to start his training for children half his age. Since he doesn't even know the basics. He needs special treatment in everything and, I mean everything. Any tough love or do it or fail teaching styles can't ever be used on him. He's scared of everything about ninjas and having a ninja teach him, would do nothing but cause a panic attack. The only time either me or Jiraiya can talk to him without him having a panic attack is when he's sedated. Since with all the nice things everyone around him are doing for him, he thinks it's just an act to do something even worse to him," Tsuande said. "Naruto doesn't trust anyone here or either of his godparents. I think there's something that might work but it's our best hope."
"What is it?" Sarutobi ask.
"We use the jutsu that brings the dead back to life and bring back his parents," Tsuande said shocking everyone.
Before anyone could respond a anbu entered the room. "Naruto tried to kill himself."
"What?" Tsuande shouted out.

At the hospital -
Tsuande and Jiraiya burst into Naruto's room to find him strap in his bed with Shizune by his side. They already learned that Naruto had tried to leap out of the window, only to be caught before he hit the ground by the ninjas assigned to guard him. They had to sedated him to calm him down.
"What happen?" Tsuande ask.
"Naruto overheard some of the ninjas talking about how he's going to be trained to become a ninja. He tried to jump out of the window. I managed to grab his foot before he fell but he just kick till he freed himself. Lucky the ninjas on guard caught him before he hit the ground," Shizune said as she turns her attention to Naruto who's been put into a drug induced sleep.
"He rather kill himself then become a ninja?" Jiraiya ask not believing how far Naruto's fear of ninjas is.
"I hope you two are proud of yourselves. This is what happens when you don't care enough to take care of someone that his parents trusted you to take care of him when they're gone," Shizune snaps.
"I will make it up to him and his parents," Tsuande said. "I'll start by bringing back his parents with or without the council approval."

Author's Notes -
1 – Sink or Swim Mentors only really work in fiction. As doing that in real life would just end up with body bags, the mentor unable to find anyone who wants to train under them, and getting in trouble with the law. And since in this fic Naruto is the only one who can save the ninja world, any kind of training that would end in either him doing the skill he has to learn or dying, would just mean if it doesn't work there's no back up to save the ninja world. And that kind of training would just scare Naruto from even going along with the ninja training. Remember this is like trying to get someone over their fear, like swimming. Where if you just shove them into deep water when they're scared to swim, not even helping them even if they're drowning would just end up with the person with an even worse fear of swimming.
2 - The only way for the seal to be disable is for Naruto to turn it off. As anyone who has taken something apart that runs on power, you always shut it off before you start working on it.
3 - When dealing with someone who has a deep seated fear, suffering from depressions, or both. You must never use tough love or anything on those lines, when the person is just starting out in their treatment or when they're still a child. Because the kind of fear, I'm talking about is the one that causes panic attacks on the person. As that just makes things worse or set everything back to square one.
