"So did you get Naruto and Naruko to sign the toad contract?" Minato asks as Jiraiya wanders into his office.
"No the toads got beaten badly by those damn foxes. The little Gaki of yours can summon two bosses at once." Jiraiya scowled at the memory of his defeat.
"No matter, it just means we need to get Kushina to help us." Minato declared.
"But she hates us remember. And I really don't want to tell her what I did with those toys." Jiraiya shutters.
"What did you do with those by the way?" Minato wonders.
"Well they are all in this scroll." Jiraiya holds up a scroll.
"Huh I would have thought you got rid of them. Well it's your funeral. Jiraiya if you had a family, would you do anything to keep them together?" Minato asked.
"Well yeah, who wouldn't?" Jiraiya asked clearly confused.
"Well Jiraiya I am prepared to do anything to keep my family together. I separated us for our own safety and now I will bring us together, one way or another. I have a seal that should provide me some level of control over Kushina's actions. I don't know how long it will last but if I can get her to bring Narumi back then Naruko is sure to follow. Naruto might be a problem but there is always plan C." Minato explained.
"Plan C? What happened to plan B?" Jiraiya asked.
"The seal is plan B. Now if you would excuse me, I need to see my loving wife." Minato starts to head home.
*Namikaze estate*
"Kushina-chan, I'm home." Minato called as he entered the house. When he reseeved no answer he began to wonder what had happened to her. She had been up the entire night thinking he would try something on her. 'Hope she finally passed out from exhaustion otherwise I won't get the seal on her.' Minato thought. He wandered the house before finding her asleep in a chair facing a window. "Here you are Kushina." Minato gently caressed her face before putting his hand down her back and placed a seal in the middle of her back. "Soon we shall all be together again. Just like we originally planned my love." Minato smiled down at Kushina who now had a small frown on her face. He bent down and gave her a loving kiss before leaving to let her rest.
*with Naruto Naruko Narumi*
"Where could she be?" Naruko wondered as they made their way to Ichirakus.
"I don't know, I just hope Namikaze-teme didn't get his hands on her." Naruto growled out when he thought of Minato.
"Kaa-san in trouble?" Narumi wondered, worry written all over her face.
"Of course not darling, Kaa-san will be fine." Sapphire nuzzled Narumi who was still sitting on Lunas back.
"She is right angel, your Kaa-san is too strong to be taken out so easily." Luna reassured the troubled toddler. Narumi smiled at the two kitsune while Naruko and Naruto looked on, smiles on their faces.
"There you are. How are my three beautiful baby's doing today?" Kushina walked out of Ichirakus as they approached.
"Hey kaa-san, we have been looking everywhere for you. Where have you been?" Naruko asks.
"Well me and your father had a lot to talk about. I had to give him a night for dinner and conversations. But now everything is back to normal, now Narumi-chan, would you like to come with me and help with a surprise for your older siblings?" Kushina playfully whispered into Narumi's ear, causing the girl tog giggle and raise her hands indicating she wanted to be picked up. Kushina picked her up and soon turned to Naruko and Naruto. "Naruko if you don't mind meeting me for dinner later would you please come to the BBQ joint by the hokage tower? I would appreciate it. And Naruto, please keep your lunch free for some Mother son time tomorrow. We have a lot to go over." Kushina said cradling Narumi.
"Sure kaa-san." Naruko smiled at her mother.
"Yeah sure." Naruto shrugged his shoulders.
"Perfect, now let's get going Narumi-chan." Kushina turned and left with Narumi.
"Well let's get some Ramen." Naruto continued towards Ichiraku along with Naruko while Sapphire and Luna glanced at each other before following.
"Ayame nee-san I want 5 bowls of your best beef ramen please." Naruto cheered as he took his seat.
"3 bowls of Miso for me too please." Naruko also took a seat next to Naruto.
"Oh hey guys how are you feeling?" Ayame asked them clearly concerned.
"Oh we are great. I just beat the crap out of Jiraiya of the Sannin and got a lunch date with my Kaa-san." Naruto smiled brightly at her.
"Why do you sound concerned Ayame-san?" Naruko asked.
"Well it's just that….. well some people, myself included heard Minato and Kushina talk about how they ended their divorce and are living with each other again. I didn't believe it at first but when I asked Kushina-sama, when she was ere she confirmed that everything was cleared up and that she had forgiven Minato. She also said something about explaining the situation to you as well. Where is Narumi?" Ayame explained. Naruto and Naruko were shocked by this revelation. Luna and sapphire were also surprised by this revelation but were more concerned about Naruto and Narumi at the moment.
"That backstabbing bitch." Naruto growled out fists clenched in barely suppressed rage.
"Hold up Nii-san, there has to be a reasonable explanation for this." Naruko tried to calm down Naruto, hoping her own words were true.
"Oh really? What reason could she possibly give for helping that man? Hell I wouldn't put it past her to have just used their separation as an excuse to get close to me so that I would be more open to him." Naruto growled out while glaring angrily at Naruko.
"She would never do anything like that to you nii-san. Why can't you see that? She has been trying so hard to have a relationship with you that it doesn't make sense for her to do this." Naruko tried to reason with him.
"How can I believe that!? I haven't known her very long and the only reason I let her even remotely in was because Fuu-chan wanted me to give her a chance. Hell the only reason we were at Taki for so long was to give her time to get close to me. Maybe that was what the real intention was." Naruto shouted.
"That's not true and you know it!" Naruko shouted back.
"All the evidence points to me being right in some capacity and I won't let her in to find out how right I am." Naruto growled out.
"All that s circumstantial, it could just be coincidences." Naruko yelled back at him.
"Now that I think about it, you could be in on this too. I know Narumi can't be but you have been trying the longest and are even siding with her right now. For all I know you all are trying to get me to live with that man. I should never have forgiven any of you!" Naruto shouted before storming off. Naruko glared after him for a little while before she started to cry. She was soon sobbing uncontrollably while ayame moved around the counter and embraced the girl. Luna had raced off after Naruto while Sapphire stayed and watched Naruko. After a few minutes Sapphire moved closer to Naruko nuzzled her head and left to find Naruto.
Well trouble in paradise. Sorry for those of you who wanted a happy reunion. I had many ideas with many different endings but I think I can get the most out of this one. Anyway for those who think Minato is a creep, well you are right but he did what he did because he thinks it is the right thing to do. Obviously it's fucked up but what are ya going to do. Crazy people be crazy. Anyway now you know what happened to all the gifts. Sorry it wasn't anything too awesome but they wouldn't have much meaning to Naruto except maybe the most recent ones. I might go more in depth with it later with Kushina and Naruto around but that depends on you guys. For those saying Naruto is reacting unrealistically, well that is how me and a few of my friends would react. Note those friends have no idea what II am planning for this story so it isn't biased. I think a loudmouth Like Naruto who seems to project his emotions would react in a similar fashion. Especially when someone he is growing to care for does something like this. Anyway who will discover the seal on Kushina first? Will Narumi be ok? How will the dinner go with Kushina? Some of those will be answered next chapter. Also we will be able to see more of Fuu! For those who are wondering who is the pairing? Fuu won by like one or two votes. So it's ultimately Fuu but I will try to have it a triangle with Luna too since a few of you wanted that. I won't post it if it seems bad so if you never see it, that's why. Anyway have a lovely day and I love you all. As a side note if anyone can recommend some deviant art or something as a cover for Sound's Swirling Tide or another cover for this that would be much appreciated.
