When Temari woke up she saw that she was laying on her father's desk with him asleep in his chair, the hokage and the weasel masked ANBU member were gone, Kankuro was laid out in one of the guest chairs, Gaara was sitting outside of the window looking up at the moon in the sky, and she couldn't see him but she could tell that the Naruto guy was still here. "So you're awake now, this is good. You won't be able to train for a while, let your body get used to the new power it holds then you'll have to start back up with the basics and work your way back to your current regimen."
The blonde girl looked over to the source of the sound and found Naruto leaned up against the far wall with his eyes closed. "How long have I been out?"
Her supposed cousin shrugged. "All day, it's almost morning. Now as I said you'll have to be kept in bed for at least the next four days then you'll train in the basic academy stuff and work your way up. This should take you no longer than a month at which point you can train with your Wrath abilities."
Temari was shocked, how come she was being told to do such a thing, she's perfectly capable of doing all of the work she was already doing and more.
Naruto saw this look and opened his eyes which were like steel. "You think that your fit to continue your training as is fine, follow me."
Making a shadow clone he left it with the others and jumped down from the top of the tower and started towards the training ground they had been in before with Temari and Gaara right behind him.
When they stopped Naruto turned to the girl. "If you want to prove that you are capable of continuing your current regimen then beat me in a one on one taijutsu match. No nin, gen, fuin, Ken, or any other type of jutsu just taijutsu. How do you beat me? Just simply land a single solid hit on me."
Temari felt like she was being taunted, like he believed himself to be far superior to her. With that thought she went in head first and attempted to punch him in the face.
Naruto watched this punch as it neared his face and side stepped it with ease. "Too slow, sloppy as a fresh academy student, and far to much anger behind the attack. Focus or you'll never stand a chance."
While dodging the punches and kicks sent towards him Naruto looked to Gaara. "Please go retrieve Kankuro, it's time for you two to begin your training as well."
Gaara nodded and left via sand shunshin. He returned with Kankuro to the sight of Temari with purple vein like things running down her arms.
Naruto stopped the fight by tripping her and placing a foot on her back. "I said to focus not to lose yourself to your pride! You already were under Wraths control for a moment just yesterday and now you're on the brink of losing to one of the strongest of the sins!"
Taking in a deep breath Naruto calmed himself down and taking his foot off of her back. "You are a member of the Kage clan, anger, pride, every negative emotion is not only heightened for us but has much larger consequences for us then other people if we fall victim to them. You are obviously prideful when it comes to your skills so we'll have to work on that, make you more inclined to be humble instead."
Looking over to the two boys he pointed over to a different section of the training ground. "Go over there and get to your meditation, focus on feeling for the power of Lust, you need to get familiar with the energy she gives you before we move on to what abilities you get."
Both boys nodded and did as told. Naruto helped Temari up as she calmed down. "I'm sorry for that, I needed to be sure of just how you would react so I can be of better assistance. You still have to go back to the basics but it's because of what's happened to your body, since you now have access to Wraths powers you're physically stronger, faster, and more likely to kill someone if they say something you don't like so we'll be putting you through basic training and emotional control."
Begrudgingly Temari agreed, she didn't want to go on a killing spree over the last slice of cake or some other small thing of that nature.
They trained until the afternoon, after Gaara and Kankuro finished their meditation Naruto sparred against them in a two on one match to get a feel for their skills and to say he was disappointed would be an understatement. They had jounin level skill at long range fighting but no skill in the mid to short range and Gaara's sand was his only defense while Kankuro had nothing once his puppets we're taken care of.
After their swift defeat both of them were forced to run the entire training ground in six laps then do six sets of ten push-ups and the same amount of sit-ups.
When it was over both boys were drenched in sweat and about to fall over in exhaustion. Naruto summoned two shadow clones and they carried the two boys on their backs. "Temari, please lead my clones to your place so your brothers can sleep, training begins at the same time tomorrow morning so get your rest in while you can."
Temari nods and leads the way. Naruto split off from the group and goes straight for the Kazekage tower where he finds Rasa alone.
Said man just continued his paperwork as he spoke. "If you're here looking for your hokage he just left, our deal has been set and you'll be leaving tomorrow at noon."
Naruto walked up to the desk. "Actually I'm here for you, we need to talk."
Rasa sat up straight and gave his full attention to the young man. "As you are well aware your children are members of the Kage clan like me and I'm the head of the clan, international law states that I can just take them to Konoha with me and any retaliation would be met with equal to even greater force but I don't want to force them to leave the home they've known since birth so I'll give them the choice of whether to join me in Konoha or not. If they agree then they'll pack up and come with me to our clan compound where I can teach them the control and discipline needed to wield the power they have at their fingertips."
The Kazekage raised an eyebrow. "And if they say no?"
The blonde shrugged. "I'll need to find a way to get the information to them on how to train but I wouldn't be able to watch over them for most of it and could only be here for the beginning of each sin training to help them along. This is the literal fate of the world we're talking about, I'm not going to force them to come with me but I will make sure that they have the tools and training to keep themselves from being controlled by the sins if not for them then for humanity as a whole."
Rasa thought about it. "Well as international law states I can't stop you from taking them nor can I stop them from going with you, all I ask is that you make sure that they are safe within the walls of Konoha should they join you."
Naruto nodded. "Of course, they would be known all around as members of a high ranking clan of Konoha and as my personal students. When we return to Konoha I will no longer be a member of the ANBU so I can focus more of my time into both my training and theirs."
Rasa nodded. "I will bring it up to them tonight and you will get their answers tomorrow."
With that Naruto turned back to the door and opened it. Stopping just as he was about to leave he spoke once more. "No one has to tell me but I know exactly how you treat Gaara and if I get even an inkling that it happens again…" he turns his head to the side where Rasa has a clear sight of Naruto eye as it changes into a pure blood red. "I'll kill you He said in a dual voice that's his original voice and a demonic one."
With that he left through the shadows in the hall.
(scene change)
When he stepped out of the shadows he was in the hotel room that he was put in, it was a small room with a bed, a light, and a bathroom. He took a quick bath and got into a pair of black sweatpants before sitting in the lotus position on the provided bed meditating.
He calmed his mind and was allowing his chakra to flow freely when his hotel room door was slammed open.
Rolling to the side and getting into a taijutsu stance he looked to the door only to see Temari.
The girl looked to Naruto as he got into his stance but then he relaxed. "Temari, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be resting?"
The girl walked over. "What can you tell me about the sins and dreams?"
The male blonde was immediately serious. "Which one did it and what did you see?"
She looked down for a second. "Pride, he showed me the destruction of the elemental nation's. Corpses littered the ground, fires were burning down villages, forests, and more, it was a hell on earth."
The wind user started to tear up. "I heard him, he said that this was the future of humanity, that we don't have a chance even if me and my brothers follow you, that he has many ways to free himself and his siblings."
Naruto hugged her close as she cried. "We'll win, we just have to be prepared for the day that they rise from hell."
Temari nods, wiping away the tears while trying to see it as her recently discovered cousin does. "Now, your father told me that he'd tell you and your brothers about my proposition, do you have your answer?"
The girl looked up at the taller teen with a small grin. "I'll join you cousin, if we're going to inevitably face off against the sins then we'll need to be as strong as possible."
The blonde boy grins as well then he motions for her to join him in meditation. "You're going to need to need this skill if you wish to block out the visions, none of them will be able to get into your head if you do this every night before bed and trust me, they will try in an attempt to weaken your resolve but we can't allow that."
Both of them meditated for an hour before Naruto brought her out of her meditation. "Gaara's outside of the room waiting for you, we'll continue our training in the morning but for now you need your sleep."
The girl nodded and thanked him before leaving.
Gaara was right where Naruto had said he was and both of them began to walk back to the Kazekage mansion under the light of the moon. "So, why did you leave in such a hurry?"
Temari looked to Gaara with a sad smile. "Hopefully you'll never have to know little brother."
Naruto watched from the window in his room with a small smile of his own. 'I'm so close to following through with your lessons kaa-san, I can finally bring down my walls. I swear that I will never allow anyone to hurt them for they are the only family I have left.' Little did Naruto know, he'd just released the first seal on the four mysterious doors within his mindscape.
(In hell)
Wrath sat on his throne when Pride stormed in. "AGAIN! AGAIN YOU FAIL TO KEEP YOUR CONTROL OVER A KAGE! AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT ONE OF THEM WAS ABLE TO COMPLETELY STOP YOU!"
Gaining just enough courage Wrath spoke up. "Was it not also you that failed to control the one out of all of them that is naturally prideful?"
That was a bad move on his part because Pride blasted him with a powerful lightning bolt that sent him through his throne and into the wall.
The giant red bull-like demon held his now blackened chest which was smoking from the strike in pain.
Pride stood over his brother snarling. "Never talk back to me again, know your place before you are replaced."
XXXAN: hello and welcome to the newest chapter of the cursed seven, I do hope that I did alright.The sand siblings will be joining Naruto in Konoha, he'll finally show more emotion than just anger now but the real question is will he ever forgive Minato for trying to control his future? We'll see one day.
