Chapter 14

Eye for an Eye Pt. 2

-3 hours after meeting with the Hokage-

Kushina sat in her living room of her condo alone again. She was packing her bags sealing all the clothes paperwork she'd need on her trip to Uzushio. She kept thinking about how Minato had already asked Lord Hokage for a travel pass to Uzushiogakure even though he has barely said more than a few words to her in weeks. Kushina sighed she had no idea what was going on in her mates head he was blocking all connections with her and it was making her feel alone and uncomfortable.

'Maybe if you listened to your alpha you wouldn't be feeling this way'

'Oh, shut up Kurama you aren't helping!"

' I'm just saying kit that if I was your alpha I wouldn't stand for insubordination either. I am surprised he put up with you for this long'

'I did nothing wrong!'

The silence in her head was deafening even Kurama was against her.

'Okay, okay I shouldn't have broken my promise to Minato, but he put a restraining order out against Fugaku that isn't solving anything!"

'And what remains unsolved then?'

'The reason Fugaku is acting out in the first place! He just doesn't want to feel as if I am abandoning him.'

The demonic being laughed at her

'And you believe it is your duty to make another male happy? Wow kit I'm sure once your 'mate' tires of this game he will leave your friendly ass for another woman is that what you want?"

'It is impossible the seal wouldn't allow that we have the seal of faith he cannot leave me'

That too made the demonic being laugh again his kit was extremely naïve

'What the fuck is so funny' Kushina was not in the mood to play Kurama games the demonic being always thought it knew more than her. Bragging about having existed way before she was even thought of, and seeing humans of all shapes and sizes, and with all sorts of abilities.

' Your funny kit, you yourself do not know all the things your little human markings are capable of. How do you know there isn't some sort of loop hole in your marking?'

Kushina didn't like the way Kurama was thinking

'What exactly are you trying to say Kurama!?"

'Nothing kit you will see'

'See what!'

But she got no reply. What the fuck was Kurama hinting at. She hated thinking about the possibility of Minato not being hers anymore. What if she was really losing her love because of this? Kurama had an uncanny ability of always being right. She knew it wasn't because the demon could read the future no the demonic being had something better. Wisdom that only came with centuries of living.

Kushina felt extremely nervous and uncomfortable.

'Kurama ?'

Silence

'Kurama please answer me will I lose my Minato kun?'

The being just laughed at her which increased her anger and uncomforting her more.

'Kurama if this is your idea of a joke it's not funny ya know do not joke about my Minato kun!'

Just then the door to her condo opened and she turned to see Minato walking in looking dirty and exhausted it was obvious that whatever mission he just came back from was a tough one. Minato glanced at her not acknowledging her. He headed to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water before sitting down at the table with his back to her.

She acted on instinct and got up leaving her clothes and supplies that still needed to be stored and put away for the trip on the floor. She headed to the kitchen and began grabbing ingredients to prepare a meal for Minato. If she had known he'd come over today she'd already have a meal prepared but since he hasn't been speaking to her she didn't have time to prepare anything.

"I'm sorry Minato kun I haven't made you dinner yet, please stay while I make your meal my mate." She smiled at him giving him her best most authentic smile. He just stared at her before nodding and walking away down the hall she heard him enter her room. Then heard the sound of water running from the shower head.

After about ten minutes she had the food cooking and all they had to do was wait until it was completely cooked. She walked out the kitchen and down the hall to her bedroom. She took off her clothes leaving them in the middle of her floor before walking into her steamy bathroom.

She took a deep breath steading her nerves before opening the shower curtains and slipping in behind Minato. He was facing the shower head letting the water hit the back of his head and fall down his back, as he used his left forearm to lean against the shower wall and hold his tired body up.

Kushina stared lustfully at her naked partner his back was smooth without blemishes and was incredibly strong his muscles were easy to spot. She reached a hand out to touch his back, but he moved slightly away from her which halted her movements. She felt angry even now he rejects her?

"Minato kun?"

She said softly but loud enough to be heard over the water. He didn't respond instead tilted his head so that he could look behind him and see her. She let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding, she had his attention now so why couldn't she muster the strength to speak? To confront him on his behavior.

"I-I don't like the way you have been acting towards me my love."

He didn't respond but he turned to face her and stepped towards her. On instinct Kushina did the same expecting an embrace from him she had lifted her hands in order to wrap him in a hug, but when he did touch her it was only to roughly move her out the way, so he could grab his soap.

She almost fell between the slick surface of the shower and Minato roughly moving her she had almost lost her balance. She stared appalled Minato never acted like this towards her. She fought back the tears that were building in her eyes again.

"MINATO WHY- WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!" She yelled at him for the first time in their entire relationship.

Minato looked at her while he began rubbing the bar soap across his body. She watched lustfully as the soap suds glided down his body.

"You are what's wrong with me."

Kushina was shocked he spoke to her, then was hurt by his words

"Okay" she said quietly but mostly to herself. "What did I do?"

Minato glared at her staring "You really don't know? You're a liar and you do not keep your word"

She gasp she had suspected it was because she broken her promise not to speak to Fugaku, but she didn't expect the heat that was behind Minato's glare to be directed at her.

"I am sorry" she said automatically

"No, you're not!"

This angered her "How are you going to tell me how I feel!"

Minato looked at her as if she were dumb. "Because I can feel what you feel, I can hear what you think. I know exactly what you felt and thought when Fugaku showed up to the council meeting! You were interested in him. You disgust me."

Kushina heart broke "Minato kun, my love please don't say that! It isn't what you think it isn't serious I don't love him like I love you! I would never betray you!"

"As if I believe you." He said turning his back to her as he continued to wash himself back to her.

Kushina couldn't stop the tears from falling now. Minato wasn't lying that is how she felt when she saw Fugaku. She didn't mean to feel that way, and she immediately corrected her thoughts and feelings away from the Uchiha, but obviously the damage had already been done.

"Minato I am sorry! I really am ! It isn't like that okay, yes I did have un-pure thoughts about Fugaku, but I didn't encourage them I dismissed them immediately I am your wife, your mate and lover my whole being is for you!"

Minato just grunted not even responding to her. He stepped out the shower after he finished washing and left her in the shower alone. Kushina cried for the next 15 minutes before she got out the shower and went to the kitchen after putting own her robe. Minato was sitting at the table reading some paper. She finished preparing their meals.

She fixed her plate and Minato's before carrying it over to the table and setting his plate in front of him.

"Thank you" he said it so low that Kushina almost didn't hear him.

"Your welcome baby"

Minato rolled his eyes and Kushina glared slightly "I can't call you baby anymore?"

"I didn't say that"

"Then why'd you make that face"

"It's my face I can make any expression I want!"

"You don't have to yell at me Minato kun!"

"I think I'm going to go eat in the guest room." He said as he grabbed his plate and walked to the spare bedroom of the condo.

Kushina was agitated she was not letting this go. So, she got up and followed him not even bothering to finish the rest her meal. She had lost her appetite

"Minato kun , what will it take for you to forgive me. You've barely spent any time with me and… and I'm your wife! I refuse to be treated like this any longer."

"Everything is always about you Kushina." Minato said not even looking up from his food he was sitting on the edge of the bed with his plate in his lap. Kushina was standing in the door frame staring at him. She could feel her emotions starting to slip out of her control. She knew if she got to upset it wouldn't help her situation but make it worse. Fighting back the tears of frustration she took a deep breath before entering the room fully to stand in front of Minato .

"This isn't about me this is about us. How can you live with knowing that we are not good?"

"I rather deal with that then entertain the idea of my wife day dreaming of another man!" he snapped back at her.

"Maybe Fugaku didn't force himself on you, maybe you seduced him."

Kushina felt angry she clenched her fist so tight she thought her hands would bleed.

"I am not a whore! I am a married woman I did no such thing!"

"How am I supposed to believe that when your thoughts show different."

"Give me a break Minato! It was just a thought! No action came behind it and none will. A mere thought is not worthy of a 4 month long silent treatment."

"I have not been giving you the 'silent treatment' I have spoken to you"

"Barely this is the longest conversation we have had since the council meeting. You have taking 3 extensive mission outside of Konoha to get away from me, and the times you are here you barely say anything to me!"

"I had nothing to say to you"

That was it she was crying… again. Minato just stared as she slowly lost her composure and the tears began to run down her cheeks.

"Is that really how you feel?"

"…"She stared at him "You know your being a real asshole!" she said spitting the words out like venom. That got a reaction out of Minato he glared at her.

"I am the asshole? How you feel if I had thoughts about another woman."

Kushina was hiccupping now because she was crying so hard. "I hiccup I wouldn't hiccup like it."

"Exactly now let's not be hypocrites here we are both adults."'

"Well hiccup behave like one! Hiccup."

"I am"

Kushina shook her head "No hiccup adults tal- hiccup talk about their problems."

"I have been!"

"Okay well give me an opportunity to fix my mistake don't just try to ignore me and be away from me I've missed you"

She said Minato had finished his food and put the plate to the side Kushina took the opportunity to jump onto Minato lap wrapping her arms around his neck and putting her face into the crook of his neck. She kissed his sensitive neck until she got to his ear. She was surprised Minato didn't try pushing her off, but he had his hands to his side not touching her at all.

"Please forgive me daddy" she said seductively in his ear she nibbled softly on his ear. The irony was not loss on her. She remember how her mother would call her father 'daddy' in a similar way now she understood what she couldn't back then. She felt a surge of pride when she felt Minato hands finally wrap around her embracing her.

" I been forgiven you Kushina."

Kushina stopped what she was doing so she could look Minato in his eyes.

"But-"

"Just because I forgive you doesn't mean you were off the hook. I know you love Fugaku as a friend and I am truly sorry that things have to be this way between you two, but you shouldn't have thoughts like that about him ever again."

Kushina was going to repeat how she didn't dwell on those thoughts for to long but considering that things were going in a positive direction she figured it best to just submit to him, so they could move past their issues."

Kushina nodded her head staring lovingly at Minato

"Why are you looking at me like that" he said with a slight blush.

"I missed this, I missed you."

"I missed you too. And by the way I wasn't necessarily avoiding you. The missions I went on were mandatory training for my upcoming promotion to Hokage."

Kushina sat shocked So it had nothing to do with me

Minato laughed at her unbelieving expression "You know Kushina not everything I do has to deal with you."

Kushina blushed "I know that!"

"Sure!" He said before pulling them down in to the bed he held her close to his chest. She rested her head on his chest listening to his strong heartbeat. They laid like that until Minato drifted off to sleep. She watched her lover sleep for a few minutes before slipping out his grasp. She walked to the living room with a smile on her face thankful that things seemed to have been corrected between her and her mate. Once in the living room she spent the next hour to finish packing her bags for the trip. When she finished she went back to join her man, loving the warmth he gave her as she fell asleep with a smile on her face for the first time in months.

-Next Day-

Kushina and Minato were waiting at the specified gate for the rest of their travel group. Minato had already talked to Kakashi and Rin, so they knew exactly where to show up. But the couple were the first ones to arrive. Less than 5 minuets after they arrived Aki and Tsuande walked up the two were conversating about surgery and having a debate on which surgery was harder. Open heart surgery or brain surgery.

Kushina laughed at their conversation the two sounded like nerds talking about their favorite game. Two minutes after Tsuande and Aki arrived Kakashi and Rin arrived. Both wearing their usual ninja gear with backpacks on their backs for the trip.

When they arrived Kakashi and Rin reported in to Minato and Kushina was watching them curiously she hadn't met the other members of his team but based on Minato descriptions of them she knew who. was who immediately although it would be hard to confuse Kakashi for a girl he had no feminine qualities. Although she supposed you could argue it since you could barely see his face with the mask on. The two went to hand Minato their bags before Minato stopped them,

"You two are chunin now there is no need for me to check your bags, seeing as though technically I am not your Jonin sensei anymore."

Kakashi gave a nodded, and Rin blushed a bit before nodding and putting the bag on her back.

"Sorry sensei old habit."

"It's okay I understand, I trust you two are properly prepared to protect my wife and her travel companions."

They both nodded, and their eyes went to Aki and Kushina. Kushina knew that the two were trying to guess which unfamiliar women was their sensei wife.

"I'm Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze, Nice to meet you Rin Nohara and Kakashi Hatake"

They stared at her she saw Kakashi looking at her with interest where as Rin was staring star struck.

"Really Minato sensei but she's so... so… pretty why are you with Minato sensei."

Minato sweat dropped. Kushina giggled at this she liked the young Nohara.

"Thank you Rin chan, you are very pretty as well" The younger kunoichi blushed at her compliments.

They group waited 30 minutes and still Obito Uchiha hadn't arrived. Depending on how fast the group traveled it could take them a week to get to the coast. Kushina wasn't really on a time restraint but she was anxious to get going so she can get back to her home village.

After 15 more minutes the last member of their party arrive Obito Uchiha came walking up to the group. Rin had started ranting about how Obito was always late, and how lucky he was that he was sick, or she tear him a new one. So, when he arrived she was the first one to lecture him about the importance of punctuality.

"OBITO UCHIHA WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU FOR NEARLY AN HOUR!"

Obito froze and began looking for a place to hide to get away from the young kunoichi's wrath.

"But-"

"I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT! WE ARE HERE FOR YOU IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET YOUR EYES FIXED THEN WE DON'T HAVE TO GO I CAN'T BEILEVE YOU'D BE LATE FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS. YOUR MAKING MINATO SENSEI LOOK BAD. HIS WIFES HERE LADY TSUNADE AND LADY AKI ARE ALL VERY IMPORTANT PEOPLE THEY HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN WAIT ON YOU!" She was now dragging him by the ear and the two were leading the rest of the group out of Konoha

Kushina chuckled at the sight it was obvious the young kunoichi cared about him or she wouldn't be so upset.

"They are a cute couple."

Kushina said to Minato who chuckled. "Don't let Kakashi hear you say that he might feel some type of way."

Kushina looked surprised she didn't think the boy would care. He had a real laid back and uninterested vibe about him.

"He likes Rin?"

Minato nodded "I suspect so, but he won't admit it."

Kushina glanced at Kakashi and noticed that he was watching his teammates closely she could see what Minato meant now.

Interesting.

-Konoha Hospital-

Fugaku Uchiha waited patiently in the waiting area of the maternity ward his wife had gone into labor and now he was waiting on the arrival of his heir to his clan. He felt a nervousness that he was not expecting to have.

Hours passed before a nurse finally came into the waiting room and told him that the delivery had been successful, and he could finally see his child and wife. He stood and followed the nurse into the room. When he entered he saw his wife Mikoto resting in the bed holding a small infant in her hands gazing at the baby lovingly. When she sensed her husband's prescience she looked up from the child and smiled to him.

Fugaku didn't return the smile instead walking over to the bed to inspect the child. He reached for the small boy and reluctantly Mikoto gave her son over to him. He looked at the young boy whose eyes were open looking at him curiously as if he were judging his father. This made the Uchiha head smile Mikoto smiled seeing Fugaku seemed happy with their son.

"Yes, you did a good job Mikoto. I can already tell this child will indeed be my heir. I thankful to you for giving me a strong successor."

Mikoto blushed she was not use to such high praise from him.

"Your welcome my love." She allowed herself to relax. Fugaku had already approved of their son, she didn't fail him. She watched and allowed herself to feel love at seeing the man she holds dear acting out of character and behaving like a father to their son. Fugaku had pull up a chair next to her and was now sitting still holding and began talking to the boy.

"Hello my son. Your name will be Itachi Uchiha you are the son of me. Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha. You will be my heir and the next Clan head of the Uchiha I know it. But most importantly you will be an avenger you see my son I have been wronged. And you will help me intact my revenge, so rest little one. Mikoto you feed my son well."

Mikoto took her son back into her arms she didn't like Fugaku talking to their boy like that.

"Feed him so he may get nice and strong. I know he will be useful in the future."

With that the Head Uchiha stood and exited the hospital with a wicked smirk on his face.

-1-week later Konoha Coast-

The group of Kushina, Minato, Aki, Tsunade, Kakashi, Obito, and Rin had finally managed to reach their destination the coast of Konoha. They'd been traveling at a fast pace and made good time arriving at their destination.

The group walked onto the sandy beaches and Kushina could immediately smell the familiar smell of salt water in the air. She looked into the vast ocean and saw an Uzushio Naval destroyer anchored a few hundred yards of the coast. At seeing the sight of the vast naval ship Rin gasped.

Even from a distance the ship looked huge, so they knew that up close the ship must be massive.

"Is that the ship that will take us to Uzushiogakure?" The Nohara asked excitedly.

Kushina nodded her head she recognized that ship and knew immediately who her father had sent to pick her up.

"That vessel is call the USS Trinity, it has the most battle hardened and experienced crew in Uzushio Navy, the ship has never seen defeat."

All the shinobi gasped.

"THAT'S AWESOME!" Obito said running of to the water. Water walking/ running to the ship. Kushina smiled that boy was so animated and silly she enjoyed seeing it. He was living proof of what the Uchiha clan could be.

"OBITO GET BACK HERE!" Rin yelled worriedly she didn't think it was a bright idea to just run at a foreign ship so haphazardly. So, she took off running after the Uchiha hoping to catch him before he got to far. Kakashi sighed and facepalmed himself he was so embarrassed to call those two his teammates right now.

The scene caused the older shinobi to chuckle as they followed the young shinobi towards the ship.

Kushina was the last one to climb up the ladder thrown down to then by the ships crew. When she board and was on the ships deck the ships grew went ridged in attention.

"Attend-Hut, Present Arms"

The whole crew of the ship was lined up in formation on the deck in front of their guest, the ships commander was in front of them giving Kushina a salute along with the rest of his crew.

The Konoha shinobi were watching in awe at the respect that was being showed towards Kushina. They had never seen this before, so they were soaking it all in. Kushina blushed slightly caught off guard.

"At Ease" she said, and she watched as the crew relaxed but still stood in their same spots. "Captain Yoshida, this is not necessary."

Kushina said the ships captain who had dropped his salute and walked to greet the group.

"I'm sorry Lady Kushina but I am afraid it is." He said with a mischievous smile "It is so wonderful to see you again and my my my you have definitely grown in to a fine you woman."

Kushina rolled her his, but felt her mate's annoyance, obviously not taking kind to a stranger flirting with his woman.

"Captain Yugo Yoshida, skipper of the USS Trinity. He has been a sailor all his life, so his manners are lacking but there is no man more loyal to Uzushio than him." She said introducing the man to the group. "Captain I'd like you to meet, Obito Uchiha, his teammates Rin Nohara, Kakashi Hatake. Also, I have with me Tsunade of the Legendary Sannin" At this the captain looked surprised obviously recognizing the name. He looked at Tsunade and no one missed the lustful look he gave her. She gave him an uninterested look which made him smile brighter at her.

"You already know my cousin Aki"

The two shared a look smiling friendly at each other.

"And lastly my love Minato Namikaze the Yellow flash of Konoha."

Captain Yoshida looked at Minato, who used his introduction to wrap his arms around his mate possessively. Yoshida noticed the massive seal on the Namikaze's body. He immediately realized his disrespect. He bowed respectfully to the man.

"it is nice to meet you, I apologize for my earlier actions."

Minato returned the bow "it is okay thank you for your apology."

With the introductions complete the skipper turned his attention back to his crew.

"Alright maggots, BACK TO WORK" everyone immediately dismissed themselves and went to their assigned duties.

The group followed the captain to where they would be staying. As the walked through the ship the captain spoke giving them a quick tour telling them where the important places on the trip where.

"I was not anticipating such a large travel party, so I only have 3 available spaces for rest."

Kushina nodded she turned to the group "I think Aki, Tsunade and Rin should share a room" The three nodded their agreement. "Kakashi and Obito , and Me and Minato will share a room."

The group agreed with the arranged housing, before they all separated to their housing the skipper gave them the last bit of information they'd need.

"It will take about 4 days to get to Uzushio as long as no unexpected delays come, we are meeting two more ships for a rendezvous then we will head home, also dinner will be served at 1800 in the chow hall. If you have any questions, feel free to come see me."

He directed that last comment to Tsunade looking her up and down.

Tsunade just turned and walked away leaving the skipper staring at her ass until she disappeared into the room. The rest of the group left to their assigned room as well. Before Kushina asked

"Hey Lady Kushina, what's up with Tsunade is she available?"

"Umm I mean she is single yes."

The captain smiled nodding before walking off. Kushina shook her head she didn't think the skipper realized that Tsunade wasn't interested but she decided she would just mind her business.

Kushina entered her room Minato was already in the shower Kushina put her bag down next to the bed. The room was a pretty big to her surprise. She decided that she'd just go to sleep until dinner.
