With Kushina

Kushina stood on the wall that stretched the exterior of Uzushiogakure waiting for a sign that her eldest child was close to the Village.

With Kushina stood one of her oldest childhood friends, Kishi Muro. Kushina still remembers the day that Kishi was sent to Uzushiogakure by his civilian parents who had wanted him to become a Ninja.

These last months being back in her childhood home has made Kushina wish she had returned sooner.

The crimson haired Ninja was lost in thought when Kishi broke through. Though as she wasn't paying attention she didn't hear what her friend said. "What did you say Kishi?" Kushina questioned as she turned towards the male Ninja.

Kishi gave a short burst of laughter before he repeated his previous words. "I asked if you had anything planned to say to Naruto when you see him?" Kishi questioned once more.

A look of pure agony shot across Kushina's face as she thought about her long lost son who appears not to be lost any longer.

"I haven't thought much on what I am going to say too him, I just no I am going to wrap him in my arms and hope he never makes me let go." Kushina explained as she looked back towards the horizon. When she did, she saw a convoy of figures approaching.

With Naruto

The enormous walls of Uzushiogakure were the first thing that the group saw.

As the group grew nearer, Naruto started to grow more nervous. "Are you going to be alright?" The familiar voice of Kakashi inquired as he walked beside the blond Demon.

"I don't really know. This was something that I never planned on having to deal with." Naruto answered the silver haired Jonin back.

The convoy of Leaf Ninja as well as the prisoners from the Cloud grew closer to the village.

During this, Kakashi was troubled by Naruto's answer. "What do you mean by that?" Inquired a concerned Kakashi.

Naruto knew that if the older male was troubled by his last answer then he definitely was not going to find any peace with his next one. "Kakashi, I have never planned on returning to the Leaf Village. I had found a new home and if I wouldn't have been ordered to return here then I would have never returned." Naruto explained.

Naruto could see that the older Ninja was planning on saying something else but suddenly stopped when the gates to Uzushiogakure opened.

The convoy was met by three figures, one of which sprinted towards Naruto. When she arrived, Naruto was enveloped in a bone crushing hug.

"Kushina, you are going to smother the boy if you keep hugging him like that." Kakashi spoke out as he made his way over to his Sensei's wife.

Kushina looked up and glared at the meddling Ninja, though she did follow Kakashi's suggestion after she hugged her son for a moment longer. "I am so happy to see you again Naruto, oh how much I have missed you." Kushina rambled out to Naruto.

"It's nice to see you again as well mother." Naruto replied back as he tried to inch away from Kushina.

Kushina sensed her eldest child's discomfort and though she didn't want to, she moved away from Naruto. Laying her hand on the red haired boy that stood beside her, Kushina started to speak. "Naruto, this is your younger brother Kinuyo. He is very excited to finally meet you."

Throughout the introduction Naruto spotted his younger brother staring at him with a shy smile plastered on his face. Naruto walked over to Kinuyo and crouched down to his eye level. "It is very nice to meet you as well Kinuyo." Naruto responded before standing back to his full height and turning to look at his mother. "Are you ready to return to the Leaf Kushina?" Naruto inquired of the woman who gave birth to him.

Though Naruto could see that he had hurt his mother by using her first name too speak to her, she still shook her head yes at Naruto's question. "Good. Then lets get going." Naruto instructed the remaining Ninja.

With that Naruto and the others began their journey back to the Leaf, where Naruto hopes he will find that Rai has made some progress on those who want to harm his family.

Konoha

"Thank God that we have made it home, that mission must have been the longest that we have had in awhile!" Sakura exclaimed as the convoy of Ninja made their way inside the Leaf village.

Kakashi as always deemed it fit to correct the pink haired Ninja. "Don't get too comfortable yet Sakura. The mission is not finished until we debrief with the Hokage." Kakashi explained to the now dejected Genin.

The group made their way towards the Hokage's Tower with Kushina in the lead. Since they all were wanting to get the dirt of the road washed off them, they were quick in their trek to the tower.

Upon reaching their destination, Kushina pushed opened the door that would lead them to the Hokage. "Kushina, thank God you are home where you belong. Now where are my children?" Minato cried as he stood from his desk.

Within a moment both the Uzumaki and Namikazi children were pushed in front of both teams. Once there, Naruto turned and glared at those that deemed to throw him to his parents. The glint in his eyes told them all that he would pay them back at some point for this treachery.

"Its nice to see our family back together again." Minato muttered as he and Kushina pulled their children into another bone crushing hug.

By this point Naruto had begun to grow agitated with this reunion and just as he was about to break it up in an extremely aggressive way he was interrupted by a cough that echoed throughout the small room.

The four members of the Uzumaki and Namikazi family turned towards the individual who made the noise and what they saw was Sakura glaring at them. "Not to be disrespectful Hokage but I would really love it if we could get this debrief done so I can go and get myself cleaned up." Sakura spoke.

With that said, Minato grew slightly embarrassed. "Sorry about that Sakura, you all are dismissed. Payment for completing the mission is on the table to the right before you exit." Minato instructed his Ninja.

Hearing this caused the human Leaf Ninja within the room to file towards the exit though they didn't leave until each of them had taken one of the stacks of cash that were laying on the table. When all the human Ninja had left the Hokage's office, Naruto, his family, the Cloud prisoners as well as his two Demonic Genin were left within the office.

"You two are dismissed as well." Minato ordered the two Genin.

Though when neither Asara or Misui moved to follow that order, Kushina stepped forward to rip both Genin a new one but before she could Naruto made the first move. "They follow no ones orders besides mine. That is how I trained my students." Naruto explained to both his students though he didn't stop his words there. "Besides I have things to do before this day is over. So farewell for now." Naruto replied before motioning for both his students to follow him. Though Naruto made sure that they took their payment before exiting the Hokage's office.

Naruto sat in front of Kurama's surrogate, shocked at what the man had just said to him. "What do you mean by that Kurama?" Naruto growled out as his body started to slightly shift.

Kurama's answer came quicker than Naruto expected. "Naruto, this isn't easy for me. What I am about to do requires that I am able to focus and I won't be to do that if I am we are making secret calls to each other. Everything that I would have been able to teach you are within the scrolls that I gave you before you left the Demon Realms. I will speak to you when I am able. Goodbye Naruto."

When Naruto saw the glint of life disappear from the Kitsune doll, he threw out a roar of anger that sent a shockwave through the entire Leaf village.
