As the sun filtered into the room, Tsukino opened her eyes to find Naruto already dressed and ready to go. And holding Sumaru at that. "Naruto?"

Looking over at her he smiled at her as he sighed. "I am alright. He woke up about an hour ago and decided that it was time to stay up. We still got two more hours before we got to be at the training ground so I figured I would let you sleep."

Sitting up as she stretched and yawned she gave him a worried look. "But did you get any sleep last night Naruto?"

"I got enough. I was up off and on with him but I will be just fine." He handed her Sumaru as she came to him and laughed. "Sakura has already stopped by as well. Told me basically what is going to happen when we get there, but that hard ass Ibiki is going tell me the rest of it."

"Why are you calling him that?"

Laughing as he stretched his arms Naruto winked at her. "I guess it just feels like you have always been here, that I forget you don't know hardly anyone from the Leaf. You see Ibiki is the head of our interrogation and infiltration unit in the Leaf. He is a master at making people talk, no matter what it takes for it." He then dropped his head and sighed. "And at the same time is a total stick in the mud jerk."

"I think you will be just fine Naruto." Tsukino then turned back to the baby and cooed as she laid him in his bed and then turned to get ready. "After all I doubt that anyone of this village right now would do anything to hurt you."

"Yeah I know. Still an annoying situation." Looking down at her as she walked up to him after she dressed he blinked when all she did was smile. "You okay?"

"I am getting better. I doubt that I will ever be able to fully get over what happened. But right now and today it isn't about me. Or Sumaru. It is about you." Standing on her tiptoes she kissed his cheek. "And just like you have been with me since I got here, I will be there with you as well."

"Right."

Looking around Sakura blinked. There were twenty five different Anbu there and then Ibiki, Tsunade, Kakashi, Jiraiya, Yamato and all of the original Genin of the first Chunin Exam save Naruto and Sasuke. But that was never going to happen. What happened last year with Konohamaru effected more than just Naruto. He wasn't even in the fight at the moment, it was just him and Naruto. There was no reason for him to kill Konohamaru except just to be evil. And they agreed that was not something that needed to be part of their lives or part of the village.

And now with the way he feels about Tsukino. And the extent that he is going to try to protect everyone else from Sasuke was remarkable.

"They are here."

Looking up as she sat with Ino, Tenten, Ayako, Mizuki and Hinata she smiled. Naruto was glaring with Lady Tsunade, which was not unusual. And the girl next to him seemed to be nervous with everyone there. "Well I know she hasn't met me yet. What about you guys?"

Smiling Ino nodded. "I met her the day Naruto found out about doing this. They came to the shop to see Shikamaru and I."

Nodding Tenten and Hinata smiled as she left Naruto and headed for them. Her silver eyes meeting Sakura's green she laughed. "So did Tenten and I."

"We met her the next day." Ayako was on her feet and holding her hands out for the baby. "Isn't that right Tsukino?"

Blinking as she let Ayako take Sumaru she looked at them all. "Isn't what right?"

Standing Sakura smiled. "That they have all met you. I guess I am the odd ball out. My name is Sakura Haruno."

Letting her eyes half close as she looked down with a hint of sadness, she sighed. "I see so you are Sakura. Naruto used to talk about you a lot."

"I don't think you need to be so sad about that anymore Tsukino. You see him," Sakura then pointed to her husband as he stood there with an annoyed Naruto. "His name is Rock Lee and that is my husband. He can be annoying sometimes but he treats me like a queen makes me happy."

"So you mean that…."

Laughing as they all sat down she sighed. "Of everyone we know that we like still our age, Naruto and Sai are the only two that haven't either started dating or got married yet." She then looked at Naruto and remembered the conversation she had with him last night in his apartment. "But I don't think that you really have anything to worry about you know."

"What are you talking about Sakura?"

Looking over at her wide green eyes she smiled. "Oh you will see. Soon enough."

A glance at Tsukino when the girls all started laughing, Naruto then turned back to glare at Tsunade and Ibiki. But that was when he saw Gaara, Temari and Kankuro standing there too. Stopping with blinking eyes he looked at them. "What are you guys doing here?"

Stepping up to Naruto with his own eyes in a glare he sighed. "We actually came thinking we were going to make you angry with us again like before when we were all fighting the Akatsuki. It is about Sasuke."

"What about him?"

"He attacked a village in the Land of Wind a few days ago. One where an entire clan lived that excelled at Sealing Jutsu. He took their Key Scroll. In it was ways to make Keys for just about any seal. It listed all known seals and ways to make keys for them. Including the Tetragram seal."

Looking down at his stomach he sighed. "Every time we fight, Sasuke and I are always at a stalemate. Both of us manage to stay about equal with each other. Even with all the jutsu that he had. But he has gotten more I don't know. But that must have been why he attacked the Moon to get her."

"Her?"

Looking up with a nod to the girls he sighed. "The girl with the white hair. She is Tsukino of the Moon and she is a master at sealing and unsealing jutsu. Sasuke destroyed her village by himself looking for her. I figured he had heard that the 'chief' of the Moon was a master at sealing and unsealing. And he was no doubt looking for some man. But they all called her Tsukino which saved her life in the end. And then this."

Turning to look Gaara back in his eyes he glared. "It has to be because he wants to make a key to release the fox if he can land a blow on me. That has to be it."

"That is what we think too Naruto." Tsunade stepped up and sighed. "To take you out by taking the fox from you, and then use his power as an Uchiha to destroy the village just like Madara tried to do."

Turning to Ibiki Naruto fisted his hands at his side. "Well Ibiki. You are going to be heading this thing I heard from Sakura. So what happens now?"

Looking over at the Anbu Ibiki sighed. "They will make a Five Element barrier for you to sit in with Yamato and Jiraiya while this takes place. You are going to fully open the seal that holds the fox in place and then have to fight him from within your own mind."

Stepping up next to Ibiki, Yamato sighed. "You see we aren't exactly sure how you have to defeat the fox to take its chakra from him. That is where your parents are going to come in. And we don't know when they will show up."

Taking his other side Jiraiya smiled as he went through the signs. "Summoning Jutsu."

Everyone flinched when a toad crawled out of his mouth then turned on him with a glare. Gerotora looked around and then back to Jiraiya. "What do you want now Jiraiya?"

"Simple. You get to go seal yourself in Naruto from now on."

Gasping as his eyes went wide, Gerotora looked at Jiraiya like he had ten heads! "Are you insane!? I can't be that close to the seal without chancing that something happens! Last time you talked me into doing something with the seal Naruto nearly killed you!"

"You aren't doing something with the seal. Naruto is going to finally confront it, with the help of his parents from in his own mind. I can't unlock it when he is ready since he has to unlock it from his mind." Jiraiya then crossed his arms and gave him a sly smile as he laughed. "Or do you really want to upset the Fourth Hokage?'

Looking up into his black eyes Gerotora blinked. "You are serious aren't you?"

"I am. It was always meant to be given to Naruto in the event that something ever happened to me. Well nothing has happened to me but it still needs to go to Naruto now. He has to be able to unlock the seal from within, and the only way to do that is if you are inside of him. He has already mastered Sage Mode so the elders tell me."

With a sigh as he looked at Naruto Gerotora sighed. "Fine." He then grew and flew out the scroll and crossed his arms. "Light your fingers with your chakra and press them against the square box. That is the sealing contract and with that I will be sealed inside of you. All you need to do after that to unlock your Tetragram seal is light up your hands and your entire arm becomes the key. Press it to your stomach and then turn and it will unlock it. If you don't die during this, the same thing will lock it back."

With a sigh Naruto light his fingers in chakra and then pressed them to the square. As the scroll closed he blinked and then jumped back. "Wait tell me that you don't have to go in my mouth like you came out of his!?"

"That's right. Open wide!"

Clamping his hand on his mouth Naruto started to shake his head side to side. He wasn't about to just let the damned frog do it!

Reaching out and both taking an ear, Kakashi and Yamato both sighed as he couldn't help it and opened his mouth wide with a scream then both paled as the frog forced his way inside Naruto.

Dropping to his hands and knees he coughed and spit. "That was the most disgusting thing that has ever happened to me in my entire life. Thanks you guys."

"No time for sitting around. Naruto are you ready to do this or not?"

Standing up and looking over to where Tsukino sat with all the other girls passing the baby back and forth as they talked while they watched him. His blue eyes met her green for just a moment then he turned narrowed eyes back to Ibiki. "Let's do this. The sooner I get this done, the sooner I will know who I am. And have the power to finally end Sasuke's rein of tyranny once and for all."

"Good."
