AN: Okay first let me just start off by saying I hate the plot and idea I had for this story and I should've left it as a one-shot with the first chapter. I don't even want to rewrite this story because I hate the concept around this story. That's the reason why I never updated this story for so long. I just couldn't come up with a way to come up with a new chapter because of my hate. However since people are showing interest I decided to say screw it to trying fix this story and just write it how I originally planned it. With clichés, predictable and unoriginal ideas, and story that makes little to no sense. Whether you love it or hate it, this was how I originally planned for it to go and the reason I had a hard time writing chapters for this. I will be posting this same Author's Notes to every chapter of this story, just to let people know.

"That's why I need your help to find your old chakra," Naruto said to Kyuubi, explaining the whole situation. Kyuubi was still in a cage of chains, Naruto was in the lap of his mother Kushina who was holding him like her afterlife depended on it, and Ember was standing to the side looking at the scene with annoyance and confusion respectively.
"Kid, do you have any idea what you're planning on doing?!" The spirit of the fox shouted in anger and shock.
Kushina simply scoffed at it's question. "After everything he's been through, I think it's justified" she replied with frustration and annoyance. "Not to mention what they wanted to do with him as he is now. The Leaf and the whole Elemental Nation will only see him and those like him as nothing more than weapons. They deserve whatever this Kaguya does to them."
"Maybe they do, but the other tailed beasts don't deserve to be turned into that monster again," Kurama snarled in return. "I may not have thought of them as such, but they are still my brothers and sisters."
"There's nothing we can do about this Kyuubi," Naruto said regretfully. "The Akatsuki have already caught most of them according to Itachi. With or without our help they will find your old chakra and the Ten Tails will be resurrected. I'm just trying to make a place where me and any ghost can live in peace without fear of being hunted."
"But you can stop it from happening!" The fox screamed in desperation. "You're the Child of Prophecy! You're supposed to bring peace to the Elemental Nations!"
"I was the Child of Prophecy!" Naruto shouted standing up, freeing himself from his mother's grasp. "I lost that title when I died! Even if I still am as a ghost, the prophecy says that I can bring peace or destruction to the Elemental Nations! Maybe I would've brought peace if the Leaf gave me the love and recognition I needed and deserved! Instead of treating me like a monster and kept trying to kill me or banish me!"
"What about you carrot top?" Kyuubi demanded turning his attention to Gaara. "I remember you had siblings, you can't be alright with Kaguya killing them for no reason!"
"I'll admit that I'm not a fan of that," Gaara replied sadly. The Fox smirked believing it had someone on it's side. "However seeing Naruto's mother here in the Ghost Zone means that not only could see them again, but also see Yashamaru again."
"Just give it up already!" Ember said with frustration. "Babypop already told you this is going to happen whether you like it or not. So are you going to help us or not?"
Kushina roused an eyebrow at the nickname while the Fox just sighed. It didn't want the Ten Tails or Kaguya to be revived, but now realized the only person who could stop it will not because of past events. "What's in it for me?" It asked tiredly. "If I'm going to betray my siblings and father then I want something out of all this."
"Your Freedom" Kushina replied immediately. "Help my son get your old charka to this Akatsuki and you'll go free. You can go anywhere in the Ghost Zone or human world and I'll never hunt you down again."
"You could even stay in the Elemental Nations after Kaguya is revived," Naruto added in. "Although you would be required to listen to and follow Kaguya."
The fox spirit grumbled at his options, none of them were sounding all that good. With one last grumble it made its decision. "Fine I'll help you, just be sure to keep your end of the deal."
Kushina nodded in agreement before Naruto continued on. "Good, now that that's settled we should return to Amity Park and inform Itachi about what's happened. With any luck, with his knowledge of the Akatsuki he will be able to find them quickly." Every ghost nodded in agreement and left the realm to find a way back to Amity Park, with Kushina carrying the caged up fox spirit.

Amity Park 2 Weeks Later
Naruto and the others had found their way back to Amity Park. It was faster and easier this time since they had found Johnny and Kitty in the Ghost Zone. Johnny had managed to hook up a device to his motorcycle that he got from Fenton Works lab that allows him to make portals to Amity Park anywhere. Johnny and Kitty went off to explore more of Amity Park while Naruto and the others returned to the house that was currently their home. As they entered they were shocked and annoyed at who they saw. Inside was Shizune reading medical books, Tsunade watching television while drinking a six pack of beer, and Jiraiya looking over several books of different subjects. While the 3 shinobis were surprised to see Naruto, they were even more shocked to Kushina standing behind him.
Naruto glanced over at Itachi and their eyes met. Itachi simply nodded, receiving the message "we'll talk about this later". He then returned his attention to the 3 shinobis. "I'm assuming you're here to see me?" They nodded in confirmation. "Follow me I got a room where we can talk." They stopped what they were doing and started to follow him. Ember and Kushina, who was still carrying the Kyuubi, follow behind them. Gaara and Itachi looked at each other and silently prayed that their place of residents would still be standing after the talk was over.
