I don't own Naruto
Hints suggestions from dracohalo
Naruto stared at the person before him. Shock clearly written on his face. Blue eyes looked into similar blue eyes. Naruto's mouth hung open and tried to move as he saw the man standing there. The mans eyes held a sadness Naruto had only seen in a few who looked at him. Getting over his shock after a few minutes Naruto's eyes narrowed and without warning struck the man in the stomach catching him unaware. Folding over the punch the man coughed up blood. The man slowly got up and looked at Naruto again blood dripping from his lip.
"I guess I deserve that." Hissed the man wiping the blood from his face. "Naruto are you finished now." A nod was his only response. "You know who I am, so I wont go into that. We have more important things to discuss. The first being that after you wake up you will be granted your rightful title as heir to the Namikaze clan. Like you should have long ago." Naruto's mouth dropped and he started to speak but was interrupted by the other blond. "You can sort that out later. Now on to more important things." At this they were interrupted by a scream behind them. Naruto started to turn to see what had screamed but he was stopped by the fourth. "Naruto we are getting onto the subject of why your seal acted like it did."
"Yes, I want to know what the hell happened is the seal breaking." Naruto looked desperate at this point cause he did not want anyone to get hurt from the release of Kyuubi. The fourth shook his head. Naruto sighed as he was not going to die. He looked to the fourth who continued .
"Naruto as you know I gave up my life to the Shinigami-sama for sealing the Kyuubi into you. What you don't know is that put you under his watch. Shinigami-sama and Kami-sama have been watching you all your life. As for myself I was aloud to watch as well. Consider it my 'punishment' for my blind faith in my village." Minato said with tears in his eyes. Naruto sighed and walked over to the fourth.
"Look I see that you regret what you did. Still it's the past and it belongs their. I know I might be a hypocrite for saying that because of Kushina but I have my reasons. She deserve what she will get when the time comes." another scream has Naruto turning around again only for Minato to stop him again. Naruto was confused as to why the fourth would not let him look at his prisoner. As he was about to question the man he was stopped by a raised hand.
"We will get to that scream now as well as why your seal acted up. They both are for the same reason. Kami-sama and Shinigami-sama decided that what your 'mother' did to you was worth death. The problem was that because of all the good she did in life she could not go to makai but what she did to you keeps her out of Kami's realm. As they were think of a way for her to either damn herself or redeem herself they came up with and idea." Naruto started to scowl as he was not liking where this was going. "The reason your seal acted up was because they decided for her to be sealed into you."
Naruto's eyes widened and then he lowered his head. "No" Naruto whispered.
"What was that Naruto?" questioned his father. Naruto said the same thing only louder. Minato still not hearing what was said asked him to repeat himself again. Naruto looked up into his fathers eyes his own brimming with anger.
"I said Hell NO I will not let that bitch be in here after what she has done to me. Kami, Shinigami, where the fuck are you? I want that bitch out of my body." Naruto started to scream and yell. After a few seconds Naruto was interrupted by a hollow disembodied voice.
"I'm sorry but it can not be done." said the voice. Naruto looked around searching for who spoke. After what felt like minutes Naruto's anger got the best of him.
"What do you mean She can't be released. You put her in here now take her out." Yelled the blond. Suddenly before the blond a being that gave off the feeling of death warmed over appeared.
"You have no choice in what we do. You do not understand why it was decided that she will be punished this way and it will stay that way." said the being as it looked at Naruto with eyes that were just a black void. Naruto stared intimidated by the figure till it's words settled in his head.
"Oh no you don't." His anger returned and got the better of him. "I have all the choice asshole. You used me once without a choice when I was little. My life turned out to be crap. I do have a choice for that." the being looked on amused by the audacity of this mortal who continued to rant at him. "I keep getting used for things against my will not happening this time. Now get that woman out of here Shinigami-sama." Naruto was practically screaming by the end of his rant. The shinigami had begun to chuckle through this and when Naruto finished he was into a full blown laughter. This only served to piss Naruto off more. Before he could release that temper the shinigami spoke.
"Your are correct in that. Unfortunately it is too late. Now like the Kyuubi should your mother be removed you will die." Naruto just looked at the shinigami with a diluted anger knowing that what the shinigami said was a fact. Still hating it. "Since my business is done I shall take my leave. Boy even though she is your prisoner give her a chance at redemption. That is all that is asked of you."
Naruto clenched his hands as he heard the request. "I will think about it." replied Naruto. With that said the shinigami left leaving just Minato and Naruto. Naruto turned to Minato who had been quietly watching the whole time. The man saw the pain in his son's eyes and walked over to hug him. Naruto had stiffed at the contact but then broke down crying. Years of all his pain and not being listened to came back to him. Another scream came from behind them but they just ignored it. Finally Naruto started to breath evenly. Minato looked down to find that Naruto fell asleep. Placing his son down Minato made his way to the cage. At that moment a body hit the ground by the exit.
"So Kushina how does it feel to be with the real demon?" Questioned Minato. A bloody eye opened and in it all you could see was pain, fear and the last was what the man was hopping for, regret. "It's a little late but at least you show it. I wouldn't hope for forgiveness any time soon. You have a lot to make up for. When he wake we will see where you stand. All I can say is you brought this on yourself." A shredded hand slowly reached out for the gate only to be pulled back in as a tail rapped around the broken legs of the woman lying on the ground. Kushina was slowly dragged back into the darkness and the screaming began anew.
Naruto woke to the screams and looked around slowly remembering what had happened he found his father over by the cage. Getting up he walked over and stood next to his father. "That's her right. I hope it's painful. She needs to feel the pain I had to feel growing up." A look from Minato had him sighing. "I know what you are going to say. I get it enough from Hinata-chan. Maybe in time but for now I can't." Confusion crossed Naruto's face. "How won't she die in here with what the Kyuubi sounds like she is doing to her." Another look from Minato made Naruto flinch. "She raised me more than anyone else. She is more a mother to me than Kushina ever will be."
"So you finally admit what I was waiting for. No I'm not mad that it happened. I'm happy that you had someone at least. My time draws short as you will be waking up soon. We will talk more tonight when you sleep. After tonight I will no longer be here. So I will talk to you more then. Good bye for now." Naruto's vision faded to white.
"So is there anything wrong with him." Asked a worried Hinata looking at naruto sleeping on the couch in the Hokage's office. A shake from Jiraiya's head had her calm down a little. After they had got there Gaara had taken a position by the door while everyone else hovered around Naruto. It was at this point that Naruto had waken with a groan. He was quickly tackled into a hug by his friend of a long time. Hearing muffled sob Naruto began to stroke the girls hair in an attempt to calm her down.
"Shhh, It's alright Hinata-chan I'm OK. Well for the most part." said Naruto as he continued to stroke her hair. Eventually Hinata calmed and it was at this point that Sarutobi interrupted the tender moment.
"Naruto I know that after what just happened you must be at odds with whatever happened but I need you to tell me. Is Kushina in the seal?" A startled gasp from Hinata as she looked at Naruto. Taking a deep breath to calm himself since he was still pissed at the fact that it had happened he nodded his head getting another gasp from Hinata. She looked between the two and wondered how it happened. Sarutobi continued. "I saw the sealing done. That is how I know. The first thing I need to know is what do you plan to do now that this has happened."
Naruto looked down at Hinata and she could see the pain in his eyes as he had been given another burden. He then turned to Sarutobi. "Right now I'm going to do nothing about her. She can rot where she is. Hinata I know what you are going to say and trust me when I sort out everything I will talk to her but I'm to emotional right now to think this through." Said Naruto as Hinata had started to speak to him with a scowl on her face as she pulled back from the hug. Sighing, she knew that was all she was going to get for now.
"Alright Naruto-kun I believe you." She said with a resigned look. Jiraiya spoke at this point.
"Still to be on the safe side we should have a Yamanaka check inside your head to make sure there is nothing wrong there. The seal is fine. So that we don't need to worry about. I just don't know what having another prisoner will do to you. Sarutobi-sensei I suggest he see Inochi for the next three months just to be sure he is all right." Sarutobi just nodded agreeing with the assessment.
"Now I Have already sent word to my student Tsunade by chimp. It should be back soon with her reply. Given that It will probably take her a while to get back to take over I want you Jiraiya to stand in as temporary kage. My age has caused a lot of problems that should not have happened. I will be at my house relaxing. Naruto I want you to do the same. Hinata take him home to the Namikaze estate. Here are the keys..." at this Sarutobi was interrupted by a mono toned voice.
"If it is alright with you I would like to go with Namikaze-san so he at least has some form of protection. That plus I would like to learn more about how he has lived and got strong since it seems that I was flawed in my thinking." said Gaara. Jiraiya jumped in and said.
"I'm going too. This way I can look at Gaara's seal and strengthen it since it looks like they purposely used a week seal."
"Alright we will continue this tomorrow after everyone is rested and thinking more clearly. We will also all have to attend the council meeting tomorrow with the clan heads." said Sarutobi with a finality. With that everyone left to head home. The night would see many a strange happenings amongst those who went to the Namikaze estate.
