After this chapter I might time jump to when Naru is eight years old. This also might be a short chapter I don't know yet. Anyways after thinking it over this is going to be the third and last part of Chapter two. Original I wanted chapter two to be in two parts but I need to give Kushina closer.
Also I came up with a Title for a possible Prequel to this story called Legends of Kushina. Yeah I know silly name but she is fast becoming my favorite character in the story. I also have a thing for red hairs and that's why I make my Female Naruto with red hair.
Any who, I hope you enjoy this last part of chapter two.

Child of the Kitsune
Chapter Two, Part three
-Hokage Tower, late evening.-
"Thanks for your help Kushina" Minato said as he stretched out like a cat. The red hair woman next to him smiled. "Not a problem I did it because I caused you a delay earlier with my prank." She said as she looked to the couch only to see her six year old daughter sleeping peaceful on it.
"She's beautiful." Minato said. He couldn't believe that the little red hair girl was his first born. "Kushina…" Kushina placed a figure on his lips. "Minato, I know if I can get a copy of that law I might fine a loop hole, but for now keep a lid on it." Minato nodded.
That was when Minato got an idea. He had a copy at his house. So he pulled out some courage and asked. "Would you like to come over for dinner?" Kushina blinked she wasn't sure if she could trust herself not to scare Minato's wife. "I have a copy of the law and Naru can meet the twins since she'll be in there school year."
Kushina nodded. Minato got up and picked up the still sleeping Naru who was using his jacket as a blanket. Minato was surprised at how light she was. "How much does she weigh?" Minato asked. Kushina sighed and petted her daughter's hair. "Not as much as I would like her to be." Kushina was getting ready for Minato reaction. "Wait is she purring?" Kushina nodded with a warm smile.

-Namikaze Estate, Konoha, a few minutes later-
"I'm home." Minato called out. He had gotten a "Hey pops." from his son Arashi, while he had gotten a hug from his daughter Rayne. "Welcome home daddy." She said. Kushina had gotten a good look at Rayne. She has medium length blond hair that had some spiking to it in the front. She wore a plane blue tee shirt and was wearing black civilian style pants.
His son Arashi was sitting in a recliner chair with his feet hanging over one arm while reading a scroll of some sort. He was wearing blue civilian style pants with a black sleeveless shirt, Like Rayne he had blond hair but with more spikes. "So Spiky hair is a family trait?" Kushina asked. Minato just shrugged his shoulder. "It could be." Kushina eyes widen when she heard that voice. No way. Kushina thought she turned around and standing in the doorway holding a two year old baby was her sister in all but blood.
'Excuse me for a second Sumi-chan." Kushina said as she grabbed Minato without looking as he was trying to get away. She then dragged him into one of the bedrooms, closed and locked the doors and windows with a seal and turned to Minato who was sweating. "YOU MARRIED KASUMI YOU FLIPPING BASTARD?!" Kushina yelled at Minato.
Outside the room Naru shot up and said. "My cursing senses just got off." Before she fell back on the couch and went back to sleep.
Back in the room Kushina had grabbed Minato by his shirt and started shaking him like crazy. "I don't believe you, how could you marry my best friend?" Minato was starting to get dizzy he wanted Kushina to stop so he could explain himself. "Well Say something you Jackass!"
"It was Hiruzen's idea." Minato got out without biting his tongue. Kushina stopped shaking him and dropped him to the floor. "He wanted to protect me, saying that he had never trusted the council." Kushina sat down on the bed and looked at Minato. "He even said that they would backstab the Hokage just to gain control of the village."
It was possible. Kushina wouldn't put it passed Danzo to try this bullshit just to gain control of a move that Kushina help invent. "Danzo, He wants the flying thunder god technique." Minato nodded. "Since you won't give it to him he figures wait until you have enough children, and then kidnap one of them and blame it on another village like Iwa." Kushina placed her head in her hands.
"I should have never come back." Minato sat next to her, and rubbed her back. "Did you come up with a cover story for Naru?" He asked. Kushina nodded only four people knew the truth about Naru. "It was something I came up with the moment she was placed in my arms." Kushina said. She took out a few picture of when Naru was a baby. Minato smiled as he looked throw them.

Naru was helping Kasumi in the kitchen making dinner. Kasumi had tried to protest of course but Naru said that she loves to help cook. It was something that Naru and her mother did in Whirlpool. Having Naru help also kept Kasumi from worrying about Kushina. She knew as long as Kasumi was married to him she wouldn't try anything, and that's what worries her.
Kasumi wanted Minato and Kushina back together, sure she loves Minato, but it wasn't the same love that her two best friends had. Minato had loved Kushina from day one, and in her heart Kasumi knew that Kushina had loved Minato around the same time, even if the young woman won't admit it. The plan was simple.
Marry Minato to protect him until Kushina returns, find a loop hole in the village law so that they can get back together, Then divorce Minato with no hard feeling and share rights to the children, it was supposed to be that easy. The problem was Kushina.
Kushina loves Kasumi to the point of her being a sister. She would never want to hurt Kasumi just to get Minato back. Sure she could do it if it was someone else but not Kasumi. Hell Kushina had even protected Kasumi from bad boyfriends back when they were teenagers. Kasumi sighed. She would have to talk to Minato; Kushina probably already told him that she won't try to get them to divorce.

Kushina sighed. If it was anyone other than Kasumi she could do it. When they were young Kushina had protected Kasumi from boys that only wanted one thing. Kasumi was a very beautiful woman and she was sought after by many suitors.
The thing was they only saw her as the "Hokage's Daughter" and a possible sex slave if they got married. So Kushina would chase them away to protect Kasumi's innocents. Kushina smiled at that, oh how she loved doing that. At one point she had even chased Minato away when he asked Kasumi out once when they were thirteen.
Sure Minato may have loved Kushina from the start but as a child he didn't know what love was, as time went by he developed a crush and he wanted to know if it was real. It wasn't until they had turned sixteen that Minato understood his feeling for the red head.
"I still love you." Minato said. Kushina sighed. "I know I still love you too." She took his hand into hers and held it. "Minato you have to understand, I love Kasumi and I always, always wanted her to have a happy family." Minato winched Kushina placed her hand on his cheek. "I love you Minato, like you said you're my life line, but I can't cause pain to my sister." Minato took hold of Kushina and held her.
That was when they heard a crash coming from the kitchen; the two had gotten up and walked out of the room. In the kitchen Kasumi was just blinking at Naru, the young child before her had her head titled and was blinking back. "Is everything okay?" Kushina asked.
Kasumi gave a nerves laugh and nodded. "Sorry, your daughter is just so cute." Naru blinked again. "What all I asked was how do you have two babies in your stomach? You didn't eat them did you?" It took a minute before the three adults had started laughing. Kasumi held her stomach as she laughed. "Kushina, Naru is differently your daughter."
Kushina though her laughter could only mutter about her have weird quirks. This caused her two friends to laugh harder. Naru though had her arms crossed and had a confused look on her face. What was so funny about what she asked?

-An hour later-
After dinner Naru and the twins went to the play room while the three adults sat in the living room. Kushina sat in the chair while Minato and Kasumi were on the couch. In Kushina hands was a copy of the law that forced the two to become the latest people to Sliptsville.
Kushina was in deep thought as she was reading it. Then it hit her. In one of the rules a medical record had to prove that Kushina couldn't any children. A new medical record could prove them wrong the problem was she would have to get pregnant for it to work. Fat chance that was going to happen, she was a one man woman and her man was taken by her sister.
"When were the two of you married?" Kushina asked. Minato and Kasumi looked at each other. "About six months after you left, a week later Kasumi was pregnant with the twins." Kushina nodded. She set the scroll down and looked at the two. "Then by alights they had forced an Illegal divorce." This had the two sitting up.
"However from what I understand, it was a week after I left that the council had forced the divorce, using at the time the current medical report that they had at the time." Minato nodded. "Six months after I left I was in whirlpool I wanted to be alone in the mediation chamber, the rest you know." Kushina picked up her cup of water.
"I decided not to come back because Naru was still very little at the time." Minato nodded. "However we do have a case. If I were to get a new medical record, it would show that I am able to bear children now." Kasumi nodded she was happy for her sister. "However, I can't separate the two of you up." Kasumi got up and went to Kushina. She knelt in front of her and took her hands.
"Kushina…" Before Kasumi could say anything though Kushina shook her head. "No Kasumi, I always wanted you to be happy." Kushina said. She looked at but Minato and Kasumi. "While it's not the same love that Minato has for me, he does love and cares a great deal about you." Kasumi gives Kushina a sad smile.
Looks like her fears became a reality. Kushina wasn't going to fight this. Minato had stayed on the couch. With a sigh he got up and walked over to Kushina. He took her chin and raised her head and kissed her softly. Kushina at first fought it but then she had started to slowly return the kiss, tears fell from her eyes as she realized want the kiss was. 'It was a good-bye but I am still very much in love with you' kiss.
Kasumi sat on the couch tears were also in her eyes. For as long as she knew her, Kushina had always won every nettle she had ever been in. Sure she had a rocky start, but she had never lost; now she watches as her friend, Team mate, and sister, losses her heart because the damn council couldn't leave things alone.
The two broke apart and looked at each other in the eyes. "The Council needs to pay." Minato said. Kushina nodded. She then pointed to the Law. "And they will Mina-chan." Kushina said. "It's about time you grow some balls and Show the civilians council whose boss." Kasumi nodded. She loves her husband but he could be a push over sometimes. The three of them then decided enough was enough for the drama and decided to check on the children.
Laying there on the floor were their four children deep in a peaceful sleep. Konohamaru was sleeping on Naru's chest while the young girl had her arms wrapped around him; Arashi was on one side holding Naru while Rayne was holding Naru from the other side. All four children had smiles on their young faces.

-Konoha, a few weeks later, main council room.-
Three weeks have passed since that night. Kushina would come over and help Kasumi with the Lunches and dinner, for the family. The two have a lot to catch up on. After dinner Kushina and Minato would talk about getting there revenge on the Civilian Council.
During the day Kushina would teach Naru about the village, as she wasn't going to enroll Naru into the academy until she was eight years old. Kasumi, much like Kushina have been teaching the twins some basic schooling as well, so the two would team up once more only this time they were doing so as teachers.
However it was a few nights after that night that they have decided on a plan of action. At first Kushina had loudly and very clearly protested against phase one of the plan, get Kushina pregnant. It wasn't until Kasumi had something in Kushina's ear that gave the woman a full on body blush. That was when things had gotten weird and Kushina doesn't remember it much, but they didn't get the results that they had been looking for. Of course that didn't mean the three of them didn't have fun trying though.
However they had ran out of time and it was time to get some revenge, on the Civilian council, and the elders. Kushina had walked in wearing the clothing robs of the Uzumaki clan. Since Minato, Kasumi, and herself have been busy with each other Kushina had seemed happier, and a little on the skinner side. She had taken a seat in an empty chair on the Shinobi side. This had caused the council some confusion.
"If I can have everyone, I would like to get this meeting started." Minato said. "I'm sure as you may have noticed that Miss Uzumaki is in the Uzumaki clan seat." There were of course a few nods. "That is because I have asked Kushina to take part in the council meeting." Minato raised his hand to shut the council up.
"She had told me though that until she had set her affairs with her spy network, she will not however take part in any voting, but she will have a voice in this meeting, Kushina you have the stand." Kushina stood up and walked to a podium she was carrying a folder with her. The folder as everyone took notice of was a medical folder.
"I'll try to make this as quickly as I can, I don't like you." Kushina said while looking at the Civilian side of the room. "And the rest of you need to….Shikaku wake the hell up." Kushina had yelled at the brown haired man who was sleeping. Kushina muttered under her breath about lazy asses and people that had sticks up their asses, she then paled a little and looked around the room.
Realizing that Naru was with Kasumi and the other children back in the Namikaze estate Kushina turned her attention back to the council. "Sorry, I had forgotten my daughter isn't hear, she has a bad habit of smacking family members in the head for cursing." This had drawn looks for the Council. Kushina sighed.
"Never mind, you all know the story of how I adopted a baby that I believe is an Uzumaki, I won't know until she's about eleven." Kushina looked down. "As of right now, I am pressing charges of breaking article ten nineteen of the village charter. An article that states and I quote. 'In no way shape or form should the civilian council interfere in the life of the acting Hokage. To do so is cause for removal of all acting council members."
The room was in an up roar. Minato sat back in his chair. Turns out their careful planning wasn't needed as they thought. Since phase one was a bust since Kushina didn't get pregnant, something that had sadden Minato a little Kushina did explain to him that Kitsuna said it was going to take time. Phase two can still work.
"Since you have caused the Hokage to divorce me his previous wife…." Kushina said with a smile. "That mean each and every one of you ass hats are now out of a job." Kushina just gave them an evil glare; she would deal with them later. "Oh yes about that one article that was used. As it turns out, that article became void when article ten nineteen was used."
Minato gave a look of shock at Kushina. "Are you saying that they should have never forced us to divorce in the first place?" Kushina nodded. "Okay then." Minato said. "I have put up with you bastards for long enough, as of right now; you are all fired from this council." The civilian council had started to protest.
Minato had slammed them with enough killer intent that some of them paled and other to release their blows. "ENOUGH!" Minato yelled out. "You assholes ruined my life, yes I do love my new wife, but I was very deeply in love with Kushina, You ruined my life, now it's time I ruin yours." A council woman from the Haruno clan stood up.
"Lord Hokage, while I blame myself for what I have caused you, not all of us in the civilian council had much of a course." She said. She was an elderly woman, her once pinkish hair now going grey. "If I may, I would like to bring up charges against the three elders." Danzo looked at her. He had promised her pain if she ever spoke out against him.
However before Danzo could give the command though hidden seals , chains that was made out of pure chakra had shot out of Kushina's wrists and had wrapped them around him. "GET OVER HERE BITCH!" Kushina yelled out and with she pulled Danzo to her she grabbed him by his robs. "I should kill you, but I won't." Then Kushina had started to slap a shit load of seal on Danzo's body.
When she was done Kushina dropped his smoking and screaming body to the floor. "I've cut off your chakra supply. You and the rest of the elders are hereby under arrest for treason, insubordination, and black mail." Kushina said. That was when all hell had broken in the council hall. Several men had jump down and started to attack both the civilian side and the shinobi side.
The Shinobi was protecting the civilian side like they were supposed to. Some taking hit, they were none fatal though. Several of the masked men had attacked Kushina to get to Danzo leading some to believe that they were root members.
Kushina fought fast and hard. Seeing that the shinobi council members were being attacked Kushina cried out. "Kage Bushin no Jutsu!" The tide of the battle had turned. The Toot members saw losing and fast as Kushina stood over Danzo's down body. During the fighting, Kushina gave the old man several kicks to the ribs. "Oops." Kushina said. Then she would kick him again.
Several Minutes have passed. Kushina, Her clones, the Shinobi councilmen and Minato were all panting by the time it had ended. Minato picked up Danzo, who was still out of it thanks to Kushina's seals. A little bit of blood was coming from his mouth but nothing that couldn't be fixed.
Several more minutes have passed and the council was once again by in session. "Lord Minato, is it wise to continue today?" A civilian councilman asked. Minato nodded. "We continue." Minato said. "However the fact reminds that the Civilian council will disband. I believe you people have severed long enough, it's time to bring in some new people and some fresh ideas."
The Civilian Councilmen and women took their seats and started talking among themselves. It had taken a little while but when they were finish, the Haruno elder stood up. "My dear Honored Hokage, we the civilian Council wishes to thank you." She said. Kushina could tell she was speaking the truth. "We also like to apologies to you and Lady Kushina, you must understand we really did have your best interest."
Minato didn't know what to say. With a soft sigh, Minato nodded to the elderly woman. "Council woman Akane Haruno, and to the rest of the Civilian Council, I accept your apology, and I hope that you enjoy your retirement with your families." Minato said. "As for Danzo Shimura, His clan assets and estate will be taken upon his trail."
Shikaku stood up and looked at Minato. "Lord Hokage, what are your plans for a new civilian council?" He asked. Minato looked at him and smiled. "I'll explain that in a little bit Shikaku." He then turned to the two elder advisors. They did not look the look that he had on his face. "Your service to the Hokage is over, I want you to pack your things and leave the tower."
Homura Mitokado had tried to protest saying that he couldn't do that, however it was Kushina who said. "Actually, Minato has every right to fire you, as acting Hokage he could choose anyone he wants as his advisors." The red head said as she was looking at her nails. Minato nodded. A blond man that was sitting next to Shikaku stood up next.
"Yes Inochi." Minato asked. "Sir, who do you plan to replace them with?" He asked. Minato looked thoughtful for a second, and then he smiled. "They will be Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade Senju. I will also be adding a new abdication to the Hokage." Minato said. "This will happen in case the Hokage is attacked." Everyone in the room gave Minato a weird look.
"The new Vice Hokage will have the same duties as the Hokage but they will be limited to what he or she can do." Minato explained. "This will also limit the amount of paper work." Kushina took over from there.
"The acting Vice Hokage will also move round the village checking security check points with in the village and at the same time getting to know the people of the Konoha." Everyone looked thoughtful. "However there is a downside." Minato explained. "The office of Vice Hokage is limited to four years in office, He or she can then re-run for the office again or retire and let some new take their place."
One of the former civilian council members asked. "Why is the office limited?" Minato looked at him and said. "It's limited so that the person doesn't gain too much power." Minato said. "I can tell you that it would be so easy for me to have killed you, having this much power I could have ordered my shinobi forces take over this village."
"Yeah until Kasumi or I smack you upside the head." Kushina said with a smile. Minato smiled at her. "In any case that will be it for now." Minato stood up. "I hereby call this meeting to a close. Civilian council, you will remain in office until the end of the year, after which you must leave your office and let someone new take your place."
With that Minato closed the meeting and everyone was stepping out. Kushina couldn't wait to get home and see her little girl. Kushina was glade that she had gotten her revenge, it felt good slapping Danzo with the seals she placed on him and even if his Roots could get to him, they can't remove the seals or he would die.
Kushina sighed when she felt hand wrap around her. "Would you like to come over tonight?" Minato asked softly in her ear. Kushina shook her head. "You're not planning to leave again are you?" Kushina sighed. "No Mina-Chan I'm not." Kushina said as she turned around and hugged him gently in her arms. "But you have to understand that last night was the last time we will sleep together." She said as she kissed him gently.
It wasn't on the lips liked Minato had hoped, it was on his cheek and when she was done she smiled at him and walked away. Minato had a sad look on his face, and then he remembered something. "Hey wait up." He called. Kushina stopped and turn to look at him. "I forgot to tell you." He said once he had caught up with her.
"You said that you wanted to be reinstated as a shinobi correct?" He received a nod. "Okay well there's a problem with that." Kushina blinked. "As it turned out if a Shinobi wishes to be reinstated, they must first graduate from the academy and then they have to start all over again." Kushina paled then she grabbed Minato by his shirt with a look in her eyes.
"Minato you better be joking because if you're not I will kill you!" Minato paled. He didn't want to do this Kushina is way too powerful to have to start over from the start, that and she hated the academy with a passion. "I wish I was, however there's other problem."
"What would that be dear?" Kushina said still with venom in her voice. Minato paled even more. "The current year is still full, this mean that you would have to wait two years to start the Academy." Minato wanted to run away with his live still intact. However Kushina still had a solid. "What the fucking hell Minato?"
By now all the blood was drained from Minato's face. He had to explain this to her. "Kushina the academy rules have changed, student can no longer try from early graduations, and the school itself has also changed." Minato started to explain how the school was now a combination of shinobi and civilian academy.
It was one of the few things that Minato and the Civilian council had agreed on. Of course the Students who wanted to become Shinobi would take extra classes, this means that shinobi students would get home a little later than normal. Kushina was impressed that was until she had learned that instead of four years it would be six years, since that was the reason that Kushina had to wait two years.
Kushina didn't have a choice in the matter. She wanted to become a Jounin sensei, but now it looks like she would have to wait. "What about promotions?" Kushina acted. After she became a Chuunin she could then apply to become a Jounin. She would have to wait two months but it would be worth it if the promotion field didn't change.
"It's the same as it has been." Minato said. "Once you make Chuunin it would only be a matter of time before you get your original rank." Minato said. He could see Kushina was really thinking this though. It would be close to seven years; however whatever team Kushina would be on would have the advantage. Minato knew this. Meaning that Kushina new team would be able to enter and probably conquer the Chuunin exams. Meaning Kushina team could be first year Chuunin.
"I don't have a choice do I?" She asked. Minato nodded. "Okay but could you make an exception for me?" Kushina asked Minato tilted his head. "As you know I am over the limit of being a genin, Now I know it's unheard of, but I want to be my teams 'Jounin' sensei." Minato blinked. He could do it, like Kushina said it was unheard of but there really was no rule against it since reinstated Shinobi is hardly heard of.
However those that have been reinstated have had the same concerns. Their stills and experience had saved the younger genin life. What Kushina was asking was fair. Kushina herself is way too powerful, even if she didn't have the Kyuubi in her anymore. "I don't really see a problem with that but there must be an active shinobi as team leader."
Kushina nodded. After all she would become a genin and over the years Konoha has been active no team was without a Jounin watching over them. "Okay, you have a deal. Your Jounin well only be watching you, but I want to ask you something." Kushina nodded. "Would you object to having the children together on the same team?"
Kushina smiled, she loved the twins, and they have gotten along very well with Naru over the last few days. You throw in Hinata and you have friends who would often be mistaken for a family. Kushina had laughed at poor Arashi flight though, the girls just wouldn't leave him be. Of course Kushina was also the only one who noticed the small blush on both Arashi and Hinata's face when they were close. Kushina had a feeling that something was brewing there.
"Sure you know how I love those little rats." Kushina said with a smile. A few days ago they had a water balloon fight that had somehow gotten the three adults to join them in the fight. Minato nodded. "I can't wait to see how you do in eight years." Minato said. Kushina sighted it was going to be a long eight years.
"Oh before I forget." Minato said with a smile. "You also have to wear a school uniform." Kushina slowly turned to Minato. 'Minato, Start running!" Kushina yelled out and Minato was running for his life with an angry red head chasing the Hokage around the village with her sword out.
To be continued…
This chapter had a lot of changes. The first was that in the original version, Kasumi had talked Kushina into sharing Minato. This means that Kushina, Kasumi and Minato would be in a small harem. I changed that because I didn't like it.
So instead, I had them together to try and get Kushina pregnant so that she can shove it into the councils faces, but then I remember that Kushina's womb was still healing ( and it will be awhile before she has another child.) so that was left out.
With dealing with the council I wanted something new (I think.) Yes there have been time is stories that Hiruzen grows a backbone and tells the council off. Here Minato uses his rights as Hokage and FIRES the hell out of them. The problem now though is choosing a new Civilian Council.
Now this was where I went back to one of my stories, and changed the council up. As for Danzo you haven't really seen the last of him though. Now come the part that I'm sure to get questions about. The Vice-Hokage.
Okay this one came out of nowhere. Basically it's the same as the Vice-president. He or she would take over if the Hokage is killed, or is unable to perform the job of Hokage. Now as you have read the Vice-Hokage has limited power but he or she has the same rights as the acting Hokage. It's as simple as that.
Well I guess I'll finish with the ending. I have no Idea where that came from. For some reason I wanted Kushina to train the children but I wanted to do it in a different way. Then I had an idea, again it was an Idea I had in 'Fox Hunt' where I made Naruto the Jounin sensei. Then I had the idea, 'What if Kushina had to start at the beginning?' mean, school life, it's every child worst fear come true, having to go to school with your parent.
It should be fun, however in the next chapter thing around turned around when there's an attack on the village, how will the village thrive without their most promising clan? (Hint: It's not the Namikaze or the Uzumaki clan) Next time: The Village under attack, the death of a Clan.
