"So she has been like this ever since you removed the seal?" Tsumiko asked.
"Yes and we don't know how to wake her up." Naruko answered. Once the group got to the park tsumiko started interrogating Naruto and Naruko on why they were acting strange. Tsumiko and Fuu were shocked when they learned about what had happened to Kushina.
"Hmm look why don't you kids go to sleep while I take a look at her seal ok? I will come get you if she wakes up." Tsumiko moves to Naruto's kitchen table where they had put her seal.
"Thanks Tsumiko-san." Naruko bows to her before grabbing Narumi and heading to Naruto's bedroom.
"Thank you Tsumiko-san, for everything." Naruto bows as well before feeling a hand get placed on his shoulder.
"Don't worry Naruto-kun. Kushina will be alright. Trust me." Tsumiko smiled reassuringly. "Fuu head back to our hotel and hook up with your team. You still have to take the Chuunin exams tomorrow."
"Yes Kaa-san, see you tomorrow Naruto. I'm sure Kushina-sama will be better soon." Fuu gave Naruto a hug before leaving his apartment.
"Let me get some spare blankets and pillows for you so you can sleep somewhat comfortably." Naruto muttered as he made his way towards a closet. Once he had pulled out several blankets and a few pillows he made his way to the bedroom and took a spot on the floor. Sapphire also moved to sleep next to him while Luna moved to Tsumiko's side.
"Do you think you can help her?" Luna asked as she looked over Kushina.
"I don't know. But I will be dammed if I don't give it my best shot." Tsumiko gazed down at Kushina, a look of determination on her face.
*Next day*
"Don't worry children. I won't let anybody near Kushina-san ok. Sapphire if you can, please stay with me just in case something unexpected comes up." Tsumiko addressed the children before they left for the chuunin exams.
"Don't worry Tsumiko-san. You can count on me." Sapphire cheered. "Naruto-kun de careful during the chuunin exams. Don't do anything stupid and remember, fight to kill." Naruto nodded nervously.
"Do you really think I will have to kill people Sapphire?"
"I don't know Naruto. But it is better to be prepared than surprised" Sapphire nuzzled him after jumping on his shoulder.
"Come on Nii-san. If we don't go now we run the risk of being late." Naruko pulled on Naruto's shoulder.
"Ok let's get going. Tsumiko, thank you again for watching out for Kushina-sensei." Naruto nodded before following Naruko out the door.
"Naruto, what are we going to do if Kushina never wakes up? Minato won't wait forever either. How long before he goes after us?" Naruko asked worriedly.
"We leave. WE can't stay here if that happens. If Kushina-sensei doesn't wake up then we grab Narumi and leave." Naruto explained.
"Where would we go?" Naruko asked.
"We find the last free Sannin. Tsunade Senju."
"Come on you two hurry up we have been waiting for over an hour already. What took you guys so long?" Sakura called out.
"Hey sorry about that Sakura. We just got held up at the house. Let's get inside before we get disqualified." Naruko greeted Sakura. They all entered the building and quickly mad either way up to the designated room. When they walked in they saw a bunch of other teams milling around.
"Sasuke-kun!"
"Ino get off Sasuke-kun!" Sakura started trying to pull Ino off of Sasuke.
"Back off billboard brow. Sasuke-kun is mine and mine alone." Ino glared at Sakura who just glared right back.
"You guys should really keep it down over here."
"Who are you?" Naruko asked a boy with grey hair wearing glasses.
"Sorry, where are my manners. My name is Kabuto, and I was just giving some friendly advice to you rookies." Kabuto smiled down at her.
"Why would we need advice from you?" Naruto questioned.
"Because you are new here and you are drawing attention to yourselves." Kabuto motioned behind him in which everyone else was staring at them.
"That is creepy but why would that concern us?" Luna raised an eyebrow. "Actually why would we want you to help us?"
"Because I have done these games 7 times now and because of this I have extensive knowledge of its participants." Kabuto held up some cards. "Now who would you like to know about?"
"Gaara no Subakuu."
"Naruto Uzumaki"
"Naruko Namikaze"
Sasuke, Kiba and Tenten asked in interest.
"Gaara of the desert is from Suna and has complete control of his sand. He has never been injured on a mission and has done 4 D-ranks, 5 C-ranks, 4 B-rank and 3 A-rank missions."
"A-rank missions? What is his deal?" Sakura shuddered.
"Naruto Uzumaki, trained by his mother Kushina and Kakashi Hatake. It is unknown if he has unlocked the Uzumaki chains like his mother. He does have the fox summoning contract as well as"
Suddenly the card was ripped from his hand and set ablaze. "I think that is enough information form you boy. Now leave before I kill you." Luna glared at Kabuto as the smoldering card burned in front of her.
"Fine fine I will leave you be, but know that you are huge targets. Especially Naruko and Naruto. Being able to kill the children of a kage is quite the accomplishment." Kabuto smirked at Luna as he walked away.
"That guy was a jackass." Luna huffed.
"Naruto!" Naruto turned to see who had called him and was tackled by Fuu
"Hey Fuu what's up?" Naruto asked as Fuu helped him up.
"Oh nothing really just excited to start this exam." Fuu leaned in a whispered. "Chomei, my bijuu says another is here in the room with us. If you get a chance I would talk with yours to confirm this."
"Got it Fuu. Thanks and I can't wait for this to start either." Naruto nodded his head while giving her his foxy smile.
"Listen up Maggot's, take your seat or you will be kicked out. SO get moving!" Someone in the front of the room shouted. Everyone rushed to their seats as the proctor glared at all of them.
Naruto and Naruko were thinking the same thing as they took their seats. 'Let the games begin.'
*With Tsumiko*
"Anything new happen?" Sapphire called from the kitchen where she was playing with Narumi.
"Not that I can tell. It just sucks that we can't take her to a hospital. If she stays like this for a while then we are going to have to get an IV drip started." Tsumiko sighed as she leaned back away from Kushina.
"I'm sure she won't be asleep that long Tsumiko-san. Here why don't you get some rest and I will take over her watch. It is time for Narumi to nap anyway." Sapphire walked in with a drowsy Narumi following her.
"Thank you Sapphire." Tsumiko rubbed her ears before going to the bedroom to get some rest.
'Wake up soon Kushina. Your children need you' Sapphire looked down at Kushina with a concerned look on her face. She felt Narumi cuddle up to her and she smiled slightly as Narumi yawned. Sapphire cleared her throat while holding Narumi with her tails. She started rocking Narumi to help her fall asleep and started singing a lullaby her mother used to sing to her.
"Long ago, before we met,
I dreamed about you.
The peace you'd bring.
The songs we'd sing.
The way you'd make things new.
Then one day, you arrived.
I heard your angel cry.
Helpless, small, and perfect,
Welcome to your life.
And on that day, I made a vow.
Whispered and true.
No matter what, no matter how,
I made this promise to you.
I will cling, I will clutch,
I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.
I won't leave, I won't go,
I will stay with you all our days.
Years of joy have passed since then.
With time I've seen you grow.
Watched you play, new each day.
I begged the time to slow.
And though I miss the little girl,
You've made me awful proud.
Funny how our lives change,
'Cause you're my hero now.
But things in life will rearrange.
Friends come and go.
Don't ever doubt, don't ever fear,
I'm always here and you know.
I will cling, I will clutch,
I'll hold onto you, I won't turn away.
I won't leave, I won't go,
I will stay with you all our days.
I will stay with you all our days."
And that is a wrap. Hope you enjoyed the song I used. It is called All our Day's by jeff Williams. Used is the RWBY soundtrack for volume two. When I first heard this song I fell in love with it and hoped that one day I would be able to sing it to my children whenever I get them. I don't make me take it down. Also I felt like it fit with this part of the story. TO get the real feel for the song please listen to it. It is very calming. Anyway, the exams have begun! Next chapter we see the first and most of the second part of the exam. Maybe some minato but definitely more Kushina. She won't wake up as I have a set time for her to wake up so don't bitch about how she is still asleep. Anyway I got it down to slug and snake for Naruko. Right in the comments which she should get. Narumi will get the fox contract and I still need one for Fuu. I'm sorry I may have wrote Luna in the last chapter. She won't get her own summoning contract. I don't even think it is possible. For those who want Naruko to get both slug and snake I won't do it as I prefer one summoning to a person. Just my preference. Anyway hope you enjoyed the chapter. Leave a review with your thoughts!
