The walk to the hospital was an awkward one. After waking up from talking to Kyuubi, Naruto quickly decided that it was time to go to the hospital, however the silence that had befallen on the group was caused by Naruto and Naruko not looking at each other. Naruto didn't look at her out of sheer embarrassment from the incident and Naruko was quiet from the teasing coming from Kyuubi about how they woke up. Hiruzen wasn't saying anything as he focused on the trip to the hospital. He wondered how Naruto was going to get Kushina out of her coma. Glancing behind him, he saw the two blondes still not looking at each other; their eyes clouded as if they were in the mind and just walking absentmindedly. He sighed as he coughed into his hand, gaining the attention of the two.

"Well, here we are" His announcement made the two look where they were. Seeing the hospital in front of them made them wonder how long they were in their mind.

'Jeez, how long was I talking to you for?' Naruto asked his tenant.

'Well, time IS different when in your mind' Naruto shook his head and walked towards the entrance of the hospital. Naruko was still rooted in place as Kyuubi was still talking to her.

'Just look at him kit! If I wasn't in the seal, I would've totally snatched him by now!'Kyuubi said as she grinned.

'What the hell's wrong with you?! Are you in heat or just normally this horny?!' Naruko shouted at her.

'Well... I did get sealed when I was in heat and the seal froze it in place so I'm as perverted as Nibi' Naruko groaned at that. Great, a perverted kitsune in her mind making suggestions to jump her other-dimension-self while sending her images of... things.

'Stop that!' Kyuubi giggled as she ceased her actions.

'What? I'm not doing anything' Kyuubi said in an innocent tone. Naruko pouted angrily as she huffed. Noticing Naruto walking into the building, she followed and was greeted to the glares of the receptionist at the front desk. Seeing the glare, Hiruzen stood in front of her, making the receptionist aware of the Hokage's presence. Feeling small in front of the Hokage, the receptionist shifted her gaze to Hiruzen.

"Ah, how can I help you Hokage-sama?" She asked as she looked at the Hokage's companions. She saw that Naruko was looking a bit uncomfortable about being in the hospital but the man beside her caught most of her attention. He looked like the demon bitch but she couldn't help but think of him being handsome.

"No thank you, we don't need your help" Hiruzen told her as he saw her look at Naruko. Naruto also saw it and was slightly angry. The receptionist nodded her head and went back to her duties but not before casting a final glare at Naruko. Naruto growled lowly as the group made their way to a corridor leading to stairs going to the basement. Hiruzen continued leading them until stopping in front of a door with two ANBUs guarding the door. They all moved past the ANBU and into the room. They were not the only ones in the room as a doctor was looking at the chart that was on the bed. The doctor was still looking as he was not aware of the others in the room and frowned at what he saw on the chart. Even after 15 years, the doctor still was frustrated at what caused Kushina to be in a coma. Hearing slight shuffling of feet, the doctor turned his head to the door and saw the three.

"Ah! I didn't know that you would be coming to visit Hokage-sama. She's still not showing any signs of waking up even if everything is okay. It just doesn't make any sense" The doctor said as he brushed his hand through his hair. Naruto and Naruko looked at the woman on the bed. Both Naruto and Naruko were shocked that they saw Kushina looking the same 15 years ago; Naruko, as she couldn't believe that the woman was her mother and looked young, and Naruto, who had seen his mother before in his mind and that both of them were identical, meaning that she hadn't aged a day.

"Hm, that's a bit depressing" Hiruzen mumbled before remembering the other two were standing next to him. The doctor also noticed them and sent them a questioning gaze.

"Hokage-sama, I thought that only you, a group of nurses and I are the only ones that were allowed to come into this room. Why are these two people here?"

"These two are special cases. One is her daughter and the other is possibly the key to waking her up" The Hokage stated as the doctor widened his eyes. He never knew that the jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi was the daughter of Kushina. He had never despised her for what she holds as he knew about seals from being a medical ninja and also knew that she was the only thing keeping Kyuubi back aside from the seal. He looked at the boy and saw the similarities between the two. He wondered why the Hokage didn't state that the boy was her brother but he could be wrong. Shaking his head to clear the thoughts in his head, he remembered what the Hokage had just said.

"How can he wake her up?" The Hokage motioned his head for Naruto to speak up as even he didn't know how the blonde would help the patient.

"Well I just need to check something first" Stepping up, Naruto made his way to Kushina; the doctor moving out of the way for him as the look from Hiruzen made the doctor have to trust the teen. When Naruto made it the the side of the bed, he placed a hand over her forehead. Everyone was curious at what he was doing but Naruto didn't make what he was doing obvious to them except for one. Kyuubi realized that Naruto thought that the reason that Kushina was asleep was that there were still traces of Kyuubi's chakra within her. Naruto opened his eyes as his hypothesis was correct. Stepping back, he made his way to the group to inform them about his discovery.

"The reason she's still asleep is because when Kyuubi attacked, Kushina was already weak from childbirth, so when she overexerted herself, she obviously became unconscious. Now, this is the confusing bit; when Kyuubi got sealed, the lingering chakra in the air had nowhere to go. The chakra, not used to sensing Kyuubi in a new container, went to the old one. Finding about the wounds she gotten, the chakra went and healed her, but here is the problem; after completing the task, the chakra just stayed there, doing nothing. but keeping her in this state unless ordered not to. Bijuu chakra need to have a consciousness with it or else it would just sit there and remain inert or continue with its last assigned task. Kushina cannot wake up as the chakra is still healing her and keeping her in a coma as it has her trapped in her mind. Probably during Kyuubi's rampage, her mind shut down in order to save her and since the chakra is still in there, her body most likely still thinks that she's in shock and has preserved her mind. All we have to do is to get rid of the chakra and wait" Everyone was quiet at the long explanation. Hiruzen and the doctor frowned as through all the tests they did, they had not found any traces of foreign chakra. Maybe it was because either they weren't testing for Kyuubi's chakra or maybe that the chakra was with her for so long that it took on a near identical signature as Kushina's chakra.

"So, I guess Kyuubi wants to get her chakra back?" Naruto asked Naruko, who nodded as Kyuubi was pleading with her to help her get back her chakra. She had actually liked her previous container also. Motioning her to follow, the two teens stood by Kushina, Naruto with his hand on her head with Naruko doing the same but channeling Kyuubi's chakra to her hand.

-RPR-

The three stood in the mind of Kushina. Looking around, they saw that the mind of Kushina wasn't like the previous minds of Naruko and Naruto, both having a sewer for a mindscape.; no, Kushina's was of a forest with a waterfall to the side. The two were amazed at how beautiful her mind looked. The all walked into the forest, noticing that the area was getting thicker with the large amount of trees. They reached to one tree and saw Kushina suspended up by branches and Kyuubi's rogue chakra. Naruto turned his head to Kyuubi.

"Well, you know what to do" Nodding, Kyuubi raised her hands and began to absorb her chakra. As this was happening, the branches started to become loose. Naruto was studying Kushina and was fascinated that her physical and mental age stayed the same when she had Naruko. Once all of the chakra had disappeared, Kushina fell from the grasp of the branches and into the arms of Naruko. Kushina stirred a bit and tiredly opened her eyes and gazed into blue ones. One thing went through her head.

"Naruko" The tiny whisper was caught by the girl, causing tears to well into her eyes.

"Mom..."

-RPR-

Naruto sighed as he moved his palm away from Kushina's forehead, leaving mother and daughter asleep with each other. He stood up and motioned for Hiruzen and the doctor to follow him out of the room, letting the two women rest in peace. As the three left the room, the doctor excused himself to tend to the other patients, leaving a serious looking Hiruzen and Naruto, who was leaning against the wall across from the room. Once the two were alone, Hiruzen spoke up.

"How is she?" Silence filled the air for a few minutes, as if any noise that would be made, someone would die.

"Yeah, yeah, she's fine. So's Naruko, they're just emotionally tired is all, I mean, finding out that your mother, who you thought was dead for all of your life is alive but in a coma would be exhausting to anyone" Hiruzen nodded and the hall went back to silence as the two males waited for the females to wake back up. It wasn't until a few minutes later that Naruko walked out of the room and towards Naruto. Naruto put his hand on her shoulder.

"You okay?" Naruko just nodded her head. "Yeah, mom's just tired so I left. She said to go back in in an hour"

"Alright then, I'll go back to my office now. All that paperwork ain't going to write itself. After seeing Kushina, can you two come to my office?" Hiruzen asked the two. Both of them nodded as Hiruzen left the two blondes. After a couple of minutes of silence, Naruto spoke.

"Hey, you hungry? I mean, I doubt you had anything to eat since stealing the forbidden scroll"

"Ah, yeah. I guess I am" Naruto nodded as he started to leave her.

"Alright, I'll be back with some food" Naruto left Naruko alone with her thoughts. Her mind went into overdrive as she thought about the short time she had just spent with her mother in her mind.

-FLASHBACK-

Naruko waited for Kushina to fully wake up. Kushina was still a bit out of it as she had just woken from her coma. Naruto left her to be alone with her mother. Once Kushina had gotten her bearings back, she looked towards the girl.

"Naruko, is that you?" Naruko nodded her head as tears started falling from her eyes.

"Mom!" Naruko engulfed the woman in a tight hug as she cried heavily. Kushina was stunned for a bit until she returned the gesture, her own tears forming.

"Naruko. Oh Naruko, my baby girl!" Kushina cried alongside her daughter. She saw how old her daughter looked and was depressed about the fact that Naruko didn't have a mother for all her life. Once they stopped crying, the two moved away from each other to see their faces.

"It looks like you take after your father in looks" Kushina said as a small smile made its way onto her face. Naruko let out her own smile also. They stayed silent until Kushina remembered another person being with Naruko.

"Ne, Naruko-chan, who was that other person that was here?"

"Ah, that was Naruto-kun" Hearing his name, Kushina got a confused look.

"Naruto? Is he your twin that I forgot about giving birth to?"

"Nope. I'll tell you about him" Naruko began to tell Kushina who Naruto was and when he came to their world. After the explanation, the two females decided to catch up on what happened in Naruko's life.

-FLASHBACK END-

Naruko was happy that she had her mother back. She now knew that her parents didn't hate her and just abandoned her. They also spoke about her father being the Yoindaime. That surprised her a lot as no one ever told her and no one ever made that connection. Naruko looked towards her side to see Naruto walking back to her holding a few onigiri. He gave one as he ate another. Naruko let out a 'thank you' as she munched on the rice ball.

"Mom said to give her a few minutes. She's going to be coming with us" Naruko spoke up.

"Are you sure it's a good idea? She just woke up from a 15 year coma" Naruto voiced his concern. Naruko shook her head.

"Before Kyuu-chan took back her chakra, she healed mom so she can easily get out of bed but she still needs help walking around" Naruto nodded his head. He knew it was pointless as both Kushina and Naruko were stubborn. It wasn't until two minutes after that the door opened and Kushina stumbled her way out of the room. She saw the two blondes and smiled at them.

"Hi Naruko-chan, Naruto-kun" Naruto raised an eyebrow as he wondered how Kushina knew about him but just dismissed it as he thought that Naruko had told her about him.

"Do you need help Kushina?" Naruto asked her. Kushina sheepishly nodded her head as she thought that she could move just fine. Naruto walked over to her and carried bridal style, making the red haired woman blush.

"Okay, let's go to see Jiji" Naruko said as she grabbed onto Naruto as he shunshined towards the Hokage Tower.

-RPR-

Hiruzen was surprised to see that Kushina was with them as he only suspected that the two blonde Uzumaki's were to appear. He mentally shrugged as Kushina probably made them take her. Getting to business, Hiruzen laced his fingers together.

"As you know, the teams are being made up at the moment and I just wanted to ask if Naruto wanted to be in a team or lead a team himself" Hiruzen said.

"Actually, can you make me the second Jonin in the team that Naruko's going to be in? I can train her in how to use Kyuubi's chakra safely as she hasn't gotten that far in her training. Besides, Naruko doesn't really trust any other male at the moment after what happened with Mizuki" Naruto told the old man with Naruko nodding. Being raped was a kunoichi's top risk and Naruko almost had it happen to her even though she wasn't a proper kunoichi yet.

"Hm, I can try but don't get your hopes" Hiruzen warned them.

"So, is that all?" Hiruzen nodded as he tossed Naruto a scroll.

"That's where you're going to live from now on. It's time for the two of you to live in the Yoindaime's estate. That scroll will tell you how to get passed the seals and where it's located since Kushina can't tell you at the moment" Hiruzen said as he pointed to Kushina, who was sleeping peacefully in Naruto's arms.

"Alright, thanks Jiji" Naruto and Naruko waved goodbye as they went to their new home. After disabling all the security, Naruto put Kushina to bed.

"Tomorrow, Kushina and I are going to train you into the ground after your meeting with your Jonin-sensei, so get ready pain Naruko-chan... Welp, good night, have a pleasant sleep!" Naruto said cheerfully as he went into a random bedroom, leaving Naruko standing outside of the room with a dumbfounded expression.

"Is this going to hurt?"

"Get ready for hell Naruko-chan~" Kyuubi said in her mind, leaving a sulking Naruko.

"Why are my sensei's slave drivers?"

... Well... This took forever to write... And I just lied... Again... Anyway, sorry for the long drought of chapters, things came up and I had to deal with them. First exams, then a death of a loved one then procrastination struck. So this is the latest chapter and I'm busy writing the new chapters for Jinchuuriki and the Mage, The Maelstrom Danmaku, Saiyan among Ninja and two new ones. Now for a question. What do you call a humanized Ponyville? I really need help for this one guys, I can't think of a good name for this! It's driving me crazy!
