The next day was saturday and Naruto was still in bed around noon when a knock came on his door and he opened his eyes. Naruto ignored the knocking and thought "I don't care who it is or what they want, I am not getting out of bed ever"

The door knocked again and again for around 5 minutes. Finally it stopped and Naruto sighed as he closed his eyes until a few minutes later when a splash of cold water hit him in the face.

Naruto jumped out of bed and glared as he saw Inoichi standing there holding a bucket and he said "Ah Naruto, glad to see your finally awake."

Naruto sighed and went to crawl back in bed and said "please, just leave me alone, I just want to die." as he closed his eyes.

Inoichi grabbed the matress and flipped it throwing Naruto in the floor.

Naruto stood up and shouted "What the hell, can't I be left alone and how did you get in here, the doors locked."

Inoichi pointed toward the table and said in a commanding voice "Sit."

Naruto flinched at the tone and sighed as he went to the table and Inoichi sat down across from him and said "Alright. To answer your question, locked doors don't stop shushin and that is how I got in here. Now, what the hells wrong with you. You are never in bed past 9 in the morning. You have too much energy to burn off."

Naruto said "I'm just tired, I didn't get a lot of sleep alright."

Inoichi looked at Naruto and said "I saw the video of your torture session with Mizuki, is that whats wrong with you."

Naruto said "No...I mean yes...I mean I don't know. Somethings happening to me and I feel like I am losing control of my body, like I am someone else."

Inoichi narrowed his eyes and asked "What do you mean."

Naruto said "Forget it. You would think I am stupid or something."

Inoichi looked interested and said "Try me Naruto. It might not hurt to talk about it....is it like what happened on the Hokage monument."

Naruto flinched and Inoichi said "I thought so. Look, I think I know what is wrong and I can help you but you will have to tell me about it so I can help you."

Naruto sighed and said "Its only done it twice now since the mountian. Once was the other day with Ino and then yesterday with Mizuki."

Inoichi said "Alright, what did it feel like and what happend durring both instances."

Naruto sighed and said "Well, when Ibiki took me to the torture room I was scared because he had already threaten to torture me if I didn't tell him something I heard about but when we got there and then he told me what I was going to do, he handed me the folder that had all the information on Mizuki and it felt like the more I read the more angry I got and it just happened. I could see what was going on and here everything but it was like I was watching another person control my body. I heard my voice asking for things, then I watched as he went and set up the room and I could feel what he felt and he was getting excited the closer it came to time for Mizuki to be brought in. Once Mizuki was in he was actually having fun both physically and emotionally torturing him. He felt......relieved.....I don't know why but some part of me felt relieved with him, felt that Mizuki was getting what he deserved for hurting Iruka sensei, for hurting me."

Naruto looked up and saw Inoichi had pulled out a notebook from somewhere and was writing in it and Inoichi said "This is to help me remember what we discuss Naruto so I can help you with your problem, don't worry and please continue."

Naruto sighed and said "After Mizuki cracked and spilt what he knew and Ibiki came back in the room I felt control slip back to me of my body and I felt sick and I....I threw up and Ibiki told me I did good and he told me that if I still felt sick it showed I was human but....I felt joy durring the torture so does that mean I am human or was that Kyuubi taking over me or....."

Inoichi said "Its not Kyuubi, that I can tell you for sure. Its a mental disease called MPD or multiple personality disorder. They are not uncommon for ninja to have or people who have had tremendous stress put on them and its the way the mind choses to deal with it. Now why don't you go ahead and tell me what happened with Ino."

Naruto gulped and said "I don't know.....you might hate me."

Inoichi sighed and said "Naruto, I don't hate you and I doubt I ever could so please just tell me what happened. Don't think of me as Ino father right now, think of me as your sensei who is trying to help his student."

Naruto nods slowly and said "Well we were talking in here in the loft.....Its getting easier to talk around Ino but when we talk it feels like someone is just barely there in my mind, like pushing me to have the conversation go certian ways and I feel safe doing it for some reason and I even got to joke around with her because we talked about boys and I told her I liked woman which was hillarious to see her face and I told how I felt sick after kissing a guy which I did when that kid shoved me into Sasuke and then she asked me if I had ever been with a woman and I told her I have and that was how I learned more about woman and myself then I ever knew while I was thinking about what Rose-nee-chan told and showed me. But then since I didn't really have anything else to say on the matter I joked about her and asked if she and Choji or Shikamaru or Sakura ever kissed or did it and she got this sick look on he face and said they were like brothers to her and she just denied about Sakura but I was having fun and I asked her if her and Sasuke did the naughty."

Inoichi was bitting his lip to keep from laughing imagining what Ino must have looked like and Naruto continued "Anyways I couldn't take it when she was beet red and burst out laughing and she glared at me and then she called me a liar.....thats when it happened. I felt like the whisper in my head shoved me aside and took control I tried to get control back because I thought that whatever had control of me was going to hurt her and I didn't want to see her hurt and Ino must have felt scared also because she backed away ino the counter trying find some place to go and my body blocked her escape and demanded to know if she really thought I was lying. Ino said 'No' and my body said 'good' and I felt relieved and I stopped trying to get control of my body back because I thought she was safe but then my body kissed her on the lips.

Inoichi went wide eyed and Naruto said "Somehow when I was kissing her I felt Ino first tried to shove me away but then she accepted it a little and I felt control slip back to me but I was shocked and felt.....something, I don't know what it was but then I felt control completly come back to me and I jumped back away from her and felt I did something wrong because I think I liked the kiss but....after that Ino said she needed to go and walked by me and I waited until she did and locked the door and tried to figure out what happened."

Inoichi said "I see."

Naruto looked at him and asked "What should I do. I'm scared. I could have just as easily have hurt her instead of kissing her. I don't want to hurt anyone."

Inoichi leaned back and said "Well I can tell you that its not something you can fix in a day. I can help you but it will take time and it will take you trusting me."

Naruto said "I will do anything."

Inoichi said "Good, that is the second thing you need to do to get better. The first thing is realise you have a problem which you do. Now the third step to getting better is understand exactly what is causing these multiple personalities to form."

Naruto asked "What is it."

Inoichi said "Stress and anger. When you first got the Miko personality you were stressed and angry about having to be a girl and about being here and interacting with Ino. To deal with the stress you mind created Miko. Now from what you told me you were stressed from Ibiki intimidation tactics and then when he put you in a cell you were scared and then when he explained about Mizuki you got angry and your created another personality. We will call this the Doctor since that is the nick name Ibiki and a few others who watched you gave you. Now Miko does not seem to be a dangerous personality but we will deal with her as we can but the doctor is one we will have to really work on."

Naruto nods slowly and Inoichi said "Now to deal with both personality you are first going to have to deal with the stress and anger. Ino has given you something to help with that and I see you have yet to do it."

Naruto looked confused and Inoichi said "The plant starter set. Gardening is a relaxing excersice, along with reading, painting, music, cloud watching, cooking, and for some people, training."

Naruto said "So if I plant those roses then I will get better."

Inoichi said "Not over night but its a start. You have to learn to be calm and not let the stress get to you or sooner or later you may create more personalities. A few people who have mpd have lost thier mind because of it and the person they originally were was lost but those are the ones who refused to get help."

Naruto asked "So if I can get my stress under control will that take care of my...personalities."

Inoichi said "It will weaken them but you will still have those 2. The only way for you to trully get rid of them is to remove the stress, weaken them and confrontation."

Naruto asked "Confrontation. Do you mean I will have to fight myself or something."

Inoichi chuckled and said "no. What you will have to confront is what caused the stress. For the doctor it is learning to deal with torcher and interrigation but luckily for you, you got 3 of the best experts in the world as your teacher and Ibiki, anko, and I can help you learn to deal with it."

Naruto nods slowly and asked in a quite voice "And Miko."

Inoichi looked into Naruto eyes and said "Naruto Uzumaki will have to talk to Ino."

Naruto frowned and Inoichi said "That's actually what I came to see you on your day off about."

Naruto asked "Day off." sounding currious.

Inoichi said "Yeah, Saturday will be your day off to relax to relieve stress in your own ways but Sundays you will have to goto Shikaku home because every Sunday that we are in the village all 3 of our families get together for the day of training, lunch, games, and other activities and now that you are here you will be coming also."

Naruto asked "But which me and why. It sounds like its a family thing and I am not family."

Inoichi glared at him and Naruto said "Right, I understand, you want Naruto." as he let out a sigh and leaned back in a chair.

Inoichi said "Good. Now as for why, your our student and your going because I told you to and thats good enough reason. Now I will let you enjoy your day off. Cya." as he got up and left

Naruto sighed and thought "great, I did not want to do this." as he got up and walked over to the flower starter kit and he picked up the packet and read

Place each seed in 3 inches of topsoil at least 4 inches apart so that you can transplant them when they have sprouted out of the ground into a more perminate pot. Be sure to water as needed.

Naruto looked at the slotted box and he went to rip open the seed packet and he screamed "Shit." as he cut his finger with a paper cut on the package and a small drop of blood flowed into the pack of seeds and onto a seed.

He was looking at his finger when a small little vine crawled out of the seed packet and went toward his finger that was healing.

Naruto thought "what the hell." as he noticed the vine.

The vine touched naruto finger and he winced as he felt the vine prick his finger causing it to bleed and the vine grew thicker and larger quickly wrapping around his finger.

Naruto ripped the vine off that was now at least a foot long and jumped back dropping the vine and the seed packet.

The vine stopped and Naruto glared at it and thought "ok, what the hell just happened. That plant just tried to eat me."

Naruto quickly changed into Miko and left the loft and went down to the shop and saw Inoichi there and she said "I need to see you privately, NOW." with seriousness on her face.

Inoichi said "Ino dear, come take care of the store while I take care of something." as he walked to Miko and both left.

As they walked out he asked "Whats wrong."

Miko said "A plant just tried to eat me."

Inoichi blinked and blinked again and asked "What."

Miko said "Follow me and see for yourself." as she went up the stairs and he followed.

When they got there Miko changed back to Naruto and pointed to the vine and he said "That came out of the seed packet and tried to eat my finger but it was way smaller when it came out."

Inoichi walked over and said "Its a rose vine. Odd."

Naruto said "Your telling me, I think the plants a vampire or something because it went to town on my finger after it pricked me and caused me to bleed."

Inoichi walked over to the seed packet on the ground and picked it up and saw a single line of dried blood going into the packet and Inoichi thought "hmm, could it be...." and he pulled a seed out and looked at it and said "naruto, cut your finger and put a drop of blood on this seed."

Naruto said "No way man, I got away with my finger last time, this time the damn thing could take my hand."

Inoichi said "Naruto, just trust me for a moment. I got a theory and I want to test it."

Naruto glared and said "Fine but if the thing tries and eats me you better kill it." as he walked over and bit his finger and let a drop of blood hit the seed and the seed reacted instantly by starting to grow and it went toward where Naruto finger was bleeding and Inoichi threw it away and it stopped and Inoichi said "Hmm, thats interesting, lets try it again but this time put some blood on a spoon and step back away ok."

Naruto sighed and got a spoon and did as told and stepped about 10 feet back and Inoichi put the seed in the blood and it began to grow and grew into a small rose plant about a foot tall.

Inoichi looked and said "I see, so thats how it is."

Naruto asked "How what is. Was I right and the damn thing is trying to eat me alive."

Inoichi said "Right, sorry, I got caught thinking and should explain it. There use to be a clan from grass country I would say about.....50 years ago I would say that had the ability to control plants with thier blood because of thier own natural advance healing abilities. Just like you because of the fox they could heal really fast. They could control the plants by putting thier blood on a seed that would start growing and channeling chakra into them to make them do what they want while the plants fed off thier blood but they don't draw very much blood usually. It all depends on what plant it is actually now that I remember how I was told that other countries fought them. For a rose they would take about 3 spoonfuls of blood, for a cactus.....they would bleed you dry."

Naruto said "So I got the ability to control plants like the Shodiame did." looking confused

Inoichi said "No, that was a bloodline limit and allowed him to control all plants no matter how old they were or where they came from. This is different. You see what is happening is your starting off with seeds. If its not a seed then it won't react to you but the seeds think your blood is water and they start to absorb it to start growing but since your blood has your healing ability along with minor amounts of chakra in it the plants are healing themself as they grow making them grow quicker then they should which is why one the drop of blood hit the seed it instantly grew and tried to get more water or in this case blood so it could grow like all plants. Lets try this one more time. Cut your hand and hold a seed in it and don't let go and see if I am right, ok. If things start to go wrong I will kill the plant."

Naruto frowned and took the seed before he cut his hand with a knife and the seed took the blood and soon grew and grew and grew and roses started to grow from the vine.

After about 20 feet though it stopped and Inoichi said "See, and it quit drinking your blood but since you were not controlling its growth with your chakra it just went wild. With training you could make that plant grow with your chakra and then control it but this is something you will have to figure out on your own because all I know is what I told you and nobody else in this village will be able to help you and since everyone from that clan in grass is dead not many people know of them. I would keep it a secret until you can use it and figure out what kind of weapons these can grow into. I will give you 5 packs of seed a week to try with ok."

Naruto said "Alright but I really don't know anything about weapons outside of kunais and shurikens, any idea what I can turn them into."

Inoichi said "Hmm, I know whips since you basically got one there but besides that give me a few days and let me see what I can turn up ok."

Naruto nods and Inoichi said "Well I better get back to the shop, Ino is suppose to be off today also so shes probably pissed right now. I would still try to do the gardening but make sure you don't get no blood on them and you should be fine. Let me know if anything else happens and....try to relax."

Naruto said "Teme." as Inoichi laughed on his way out.

Naruto sighed and went over to the few books he got already on his shelf and created a couple of clones and they all started to read but naruto said "If you try and eat me like those plants did your firewood."

About an hour later Naruto got board and he looked at the vines and a clone said "hey boss, read this." as he handed a book to Naruto.

Naruto grabbed the book and read it and said "Hmm, so the rose seeds come from rose hips and rose hips are....if that is right then I could...." as he looked up at the Rose on the table from the spoon and smirked and thought "Inoichi sensei did say that I should try gardening and also I had to practice so..." as he got up and grabbed the little rose plant and the seeds and he quickly left to goto the Hokage monument

Naruto when he got there took out a kunai and cut a rose hip off of the plant and then cut his finger and the rose hip started to grow and Naruto channeled chakra into the seed trying to control it and it went wild and Naruto frowned and thought "this is going to take a while."
