That same day, Naruto, me and Sasuke all went to each of their homes. Basically to pack their stuff. It was an agreement between the three that no matter how mad they might end up making each other. No one was allowed to just leave for good. So to make sure that they don't. Sasuke suggested that he and Naruto put their apartments up for sale. It wasn't any point in keeping a place neither of them would barely be at.
Naruto agreed, so we were heading to his apartment first. Stopping at a weapons store to get more storage scrolls.
The blond's apartment was just how I remembered it. What surprised me was how clean the place was. From what I remember, Naruto didn't keep him home this clean. It's been a couple times where they showed empty instant ramen cups on his table. I wonder if he still has any spoiled food?
"Wow Dobe didn't expect your place to be this clean." Sasuke said as he looked around.
"Heh well I kinda learned recently that a person should always try to keep their home clean. You never know who may show up. I'm glad I listened because I would've been embarrassed if my apartment was dirty the first time you guys came over." Naruto admitted sheepishly.
A chuckle escaped my throat. "That's cute Naruto, I gotta say girls like guys who keep up with their homes."
A small blush crept on the blond's face while Sasuke stared at us in amusement. I've noticed how amount of time he spends brooding decreased significantly during the last few days. That itself gave me proof that Sasuke was really changing for the better. I know his mind still must be going wild after what I told him.
"Oh yeah Sakura-chan how come you want to save all of those Akatsuki guys if they are killing jinchuuriki so they can use the tailed beast's power to create the ten tails you were talking about?" Naruto asked as he started gathering all the stuff he wanted to pack.
I was very surprised he even remembered that part of the story. I turned to Sasuke to see he also had a surprised look. "Well in my dreams let's just say I kinda became fans of a good amount of them. Plus like I said a lot of them don't know fully what they are getting themselves into. Obito wants to use the ten tails to put a genjutsu over the world. He wants the entire world to be in a so called perfect world where everyone is in their own personal world. He wants to create a perfect reality where he can be with the love of his life again. Kakashi-sensei's other teammate Rin Nohora. I know it isn't my place to tell but she died by committing suicide. Because she was kidnapped by the mist, the sealed the three tails inside of her. When she was able to escape she realized what they did. Kakashi-sensei had found her and led her back to the village. But Rin knew if she returned the seal holding the beast would release, killing her and destroying the village if she stepped a foot inside. So when the mist ninja tried to attack her and Kakashi-sensei. She jumped in front of his attack to save the village." I explained in a sad tone.
It was quiet for a few minutes after that. Not that I blamed them. Kakashi's past was one full of loss. It all started when he lost his father at the age of 6.
"Damn." Sasuke was the one to speak first. "Who would've thought that Kakashi had to go through that. And he doesn't know that Obito is alive still?"
I shook my head. "No and he can't know guys. At least not yet. If he finds out, he will only try to go after him which will result in him possibly being killed. Kakashi-sensei won't be in the right mindset to take on Obito on his own. Especially when he doesn't know anything about Obito's sharingan the potential of his own yet."
"What do you mean?" Naruto wondered.
"Before Obito was completely crushed. At first he had saved Kakashi-sensei from being crushed which resulted in the right half of Obito's body being flatten. He still had he left side but I don't think he could even feel that side either. So he asked Rin to transfer his left sharingan eye as a gift towards Kakashi for being promoted to jounin. Remember guys, no one can know about any of the information I tell you. I already have in mind the next person who I will tell. Kakashi will probably be told eventually but he will only be told of my bloodline and that I know how he got his sharingan. I can not afford to be sent to the T&I department to have my mind probed." I reminded them.
Naruto grinned. "As if we would let that happened Sakura-chan."
"Hn I agree, besides it's not our place to pick who to tell." Sasuke agreed.
A smile formed on my face. "Thanks guys, oh by the way I almost forgot. Naruto you have a god father. He's the one who was your father's sensei. The toad sage Jiraiya of the sannin."
Naruto stopped packing as he turned his head to look at her. Did she really just say he had a family member? He was thinking to himself.
"I..I actually had a family memeber?" Naruto voiced croaked.
"Yes you do, Jiraiya-sama runs Konoha's spy network. The reason why he's never made himself present is because he was forced not to. In order to protect you, you were put in an orphanage for that reason. It was to keep your true identity save. If other villages like Iwa for an example found out you were your father's son. The man who literally took the lives of a huge portion of their shinobi forces by himself during the third great ninja war. They would have stopped at nothing to make sure you died. So the third made Jiraiya and Kakashi stay away from you until he felt it was safe enough for you to be able to meet them without any potential spies suspecting anything. It also kinda helped that most of the villagers disliked you at the time. I won't say how you should feel about him. But I would give him a chance. He's the author of the perverted books Kakashi reads. But he also wrote another book called Tales of a Gutsy Ninja. The main character is similar to you in some ways. He even shares your name. Actually it one of my visions I saw a certain one of your parents, Jiraiya and you while your mother was pregnant with you. Your father and Jiraiya was talking about the book and asked can he name you after the character. Your mother also agreed on the name. That was the same time they asked him to be your god father." I explained. Really now I've been doing that a lot too.
Naruto didn't know how to feel hearing that. He felt some indifference towards all three men. Kakashi, his supposed god father Jiraiya, and the old man who he looked up to as a grandfather. All of them kept this from him. And while he hadn't met Jiraiya yet. Naruto wasn't stupid enough to think that a man who runs a spy network in konoha didn't report to the old man. But at the end of the day, everything was done to protect him. So he couldn't even really be mad at the fact that they did it. He also had to take into consideration on how Jiraiya potentially felt about not being in Naruto's life.
"Wow thanks for telling me that Sakura-chan. I..don't know how I'm gonna feel once I see him. But I'll try my best to look over it for now. I doubt I'll see him as a god father unless he really grows on me. But I can at the least get a few jutsu's out of him for all the time he missed spending with me." Naruto smirked.
"Oh? I like that idea Naruto. I was thinking of doing the same. Since he was the one I was gonna tell about my bloodline too anyways. I wanted him to be my master. In my vision, Jiraiya was your master while Sasuke learned from Orochimaru and I was apprenticed under Tsunade-sama." I smirked myself.
"You know?" Sasuke had a contemplative look. "Why not we all just try to be trained under all three of them. I mean it would make sense. It we want to be able to take on the akatsuki then eventually try to convince them to join our side."
I felt the need to facepalm myself and that's exactly what I did. How the hell didn't I think of that? While Jiraiya and Tsunade would be easy to get on board. Orochimaru is a whole different story. Granted I know eventually he would become..good or neutral? It was still risky especially for all three of us. The only way I could see him agreeing is if Sasuke agreed to offer him his body...I really hope he wasn't going to consider that. Orochimaru may be knowledgeable. But that didn't mean you could relax your guard around him. He only changed after he was killed anyways. So in order for him to slightly change for the better. He has to die then be revived by a curse seal and an body to use. Yeah Orochimaru was definitely an unlikely option unless he decides to find interest in us.
"Eh I don't know teme. I'm not comfortable with being around a pedo who wants to give teenagers a hickey." Naruto voiced.
I snorted and Sasuke slightly chuckled. "Well I can't disagree with you there dobe."
After we finished packing and sealing up Naruto's stuff. We went and did the same at Sasuke's.
Eventually we made it back to my or should I say our house. It felt nice actually saying that.
I made us three a snack. "So do you guys want to go train after this?" I asked.
"I'm down! After hearing that I'm the son of the yondaime. There's no way I can't be hyped right now." Naruto said with excitement and determination in his voice.
Sasuke nodded in agreement. "Hn yeah we should start training. Luckily you decided to tell us this only a few days after our team was formed Sakura. I was already planning on taking my training seriously. But you really made me think about how serious everything is. My brother is in the akatsuki as a spy for the village. Not to mention that he has a disease. I want to help him before he ends up dying. In order to do that, I have to get stronger, we all have to get stronger."
"What should we work on first?" Naruto asked.
"Speed and chakra control. Our first C-rank will be dangerous. So we will definitely need to up our current speed to even have a chance of keeping up. Chakra control is very essential is most techniques. It conserves chakra if you know how to control it. Giving a jutsu too much unnecessary chakra can cause the jutsu go fail or turn into something else. While too little and the jutsu won't work at all. Also Sasuke I want you to try unlocking your sharingan. I've seen you activated it before in my visions before you passed out in front of Itachi. You probably don't remember all that too well. Just try channeling chakra through your eyes. Naruto you need to make contact with the fox. Don't worry you won't do this alone. Me and Sasuke will be there with you." I said.
Sasuke was surprised by this information. Now that he thought about it. He completely forgot that even happened. He did remember the change in his eyes the last time he saw Itachi. Right before he left Itachi was crying. For the longest time Sasuke couldn't understand why was he crying. How could he cry when he was the one who murdered everybody. Now he knows. "Hn thanks for reminding me." Sasuke replied.
Naruto was a bit nervous. He had just found out about the fox several days ago. The blond didn't think he was ready to confront it already. But he remembered that he had several S-rank ninja after him. Even if he didn't, there's always the possibility that someone out there could want the fox. So he didn't have a choice but to confront him. He needed to be able to work together with him for the future. "Alright I'll do it. But I don't know how to get into contact with it." He said.
"Don't worry about it, I can help you with that." I assured him. I mean I really could. Seeing how it works in the show and fanfiction. I'm pretty sure all he needs to do is concentrate on the seal. I refuse to use a life threatening situation as a catalyst.
"You sure do know a lot Sakura." Sasuke noted.
I snorted. "Yeah you would too if you dreamed about a future for over a decade. You pick up many things along the way. Not to mention I've studied like crazy on a lot of things. I know I was a huge fan girl of yours just a few days ago Sasuke. But let's just say part of that was only a front to get others to underestimate me in the future. While I did actually have a crush on you. It wasn't to the degree I made it seem."
"So you're still a fan of mine at the end hmm?" Sasuke teased.
"Hm maybe but I'm a bigger Naruto fan than Sasuke fan." I smirked.
Sasuke rolled his eyes while Naruto yelled. "Ha! Take that teme!"
"Shut up dobe." Sasuke retorted.
Line Break
Now we were all sitting next to each other in the backyard. Naruto was meditating while me and Sasuke had our hands on his shoulder.
"Just focus your chakra into the seal on your stomach Naruto. That should draw you into your mindscape where Kurama is sealed." I instructed.
Naruto listened to Sakura's words. They had been doing this for 20 minutes now. He still couldn't get anywhere. So he kept trying, luckily for him now he was feeling like he was getting somewhere.
Sakura and Sasuke were pouring their chakra into him. Suddenly he felt something pulling on inside his head.
He opens his eyes and see he's not in the backyard anymore.
"Your mind looks like a sewer dobe. How depressing." Sasuke spoke from behind him.
"Yeah you definitely should try to change that Naruto." I agreed.
"Well sorry for not knowing I had a sewer for a mind." Naruto replied in a sarcastic tone.
I couldn't help but chuckle. "So we should keep heading straight. I'm sure you two can feel that chakra coming from ahead."
"Hn yeah it's really oppressive." Sasuke said.
We all made our way to the cage. It looked just how it did before Naruto learned how to control Kurama's chakra. Inside the cage, you could feel his chakra radiating. The killing intent flaring our way. I looked at Naruto and Sasuke. Both of them were frozen with fear just like me. But I knew Kurama couldn't do anything to any of us even if he wanted to.
Kurama growled as he showed himself behind the cage. "Well well looks like my container finally decides to show himself. Then he brings an Uchiha along with him. Then you the pink haired brat, you know too much. There's no way you should know my name. You shouldn't even know about the ten tails or the sage of six paths."
"K..K..KURAMA-SAAAAAMMMMAAAA~!" I shrieked with much fangirlism.
Oh great. Inner voiced.
I rushed inside the cage with quick speed and jumped on his huge furry body. I nuzzled myself in his fur.
Naruto and Sasuke were just standing there in awe. Sakura really just ran inside the cage of a legendary fox who rampaged through their village.
Kurama himself seemed to be quite surprised by her actions. He saw the girls eyes changed from fear to admiration fairly quickly. What made her admire him? An embodiment of hatred. For some odd reason he didn't feel the need to impale her with her claws. He was lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice his container also playing with his fur. One thing Kurama never admitted to any of his siblings. He enjoyed when their father played with his fur.
Sasuke could only sigh. "You two are completely insane." He walked inside the cage himself. Seeing that it was nothing to fear. Sasuke even hopped on top of Kurama's back.
For the life of him he could not figure out why hadn't he killed these brats yet. Maybe it was because they played with his fur? Or they are the first ones to even attempt to get this close to him. Let alone look at him with no hatred their eyes. Well he could see hatred in the Uchiha's eyes. Kurama knew the reason for that though. He obviously heard all of their conversations from inside the seal. He could tell that Sakura held a grudge towards someone too. But he could not tell why his container didn't have any hatred from him at all. The beast that killed his parents.
"What are you brats doing?" He finally asked.
"Playing with your fur Kurama-sama. Ever since I felt saw you in my visions I've always wanted to do this." I sighed in happiness.
Hmph to think I would allow this. Oi Naruto why aren't you showing any hatred for me?" Kurama questioned.
Naruto wondered that himself. But he had a feeling he knew why. "You did kill my parents but you were probably only trying to protect your freedom. I know if I were you, I wouldn't want to to forced to be sealed inside of me or anyone either. So I can understand you, plus you were being manipulated for most of the attack against the village. And now I know it was you who always healed me quickly whenever I got hurt. You were with me the whole time along with my parents. I'm...kinda grateful for that. Just knowing I wasn't completely alone the whole time really helped me out after learning the truth."
Kurama was shocked by the boy. He's matured fairly quickly. For a brat his age in Kurama's opinion. He was sure to be expected to throw a tantrum at Kurama about him killing his parents. It made his respect for his container go up.
"Oh? So you don't hate me?" Kurama asked.
Naruto shook his head. "No, I can't find it in myself to truly hate you. I'd rather us become friends who can learn how to coexist and work together." He said with a smile.
"Hmm me working together with a brat like you? Hmph get real." Kurama replied.
"Hey Kurama-sama don't be like that. You already end up working with him a few years into the future anyways. And I also saw in my vision how the original Madara Uchiha controlled you. I know for a fact you hate him for putting you under his genjutsu. In the future I saw, Madara does end up being brought back to life. And he eventually ends up capturing you two. If it wasn't for the fact that the fourth hokage was reanimated at the time so he was carrying your other half. Naruto would have died and you would've been under Madara's control along with the rest of your siblings. Granted we eventually got you all back. But do you really wanna go through that? Do you want your siblings to go through that? You know how Madara is better than any of us." I tried to persuade him.
'Damn this brat and her blasted bloodline. She knows way too much for my liking. But at the same time, she's caught my interest.' Kurama thought. "You make a good point brat. I don't want to have to deal with Madara again. If I had the choice I would want to rip him to shreds. Fine I'll work together with Naruto. You three seem like you'll be involved into some interesting events in the near future. Plus I refuse to have a weak container. I always have to be the dominate one against my siblings. It's unacceptable to lose against any of their jinchuuriki's especially Shukaku's. By the way do you know my siblings name as well pink brat?"
"Sakura, my name is Sakura Haruno Kurama-sama. Yes I do know their names. Shukaku, Matatabi, Isobu, Son Gokū, Kukuō, Saiken, Chomei, Gyūki and you Kurama-sama." I answered.
"So you all have names. Heh I hope someday we get to meet all of them." Naruto said.
"Dobe please don't think that they will be friendly as fur ball here." Sasuke sighed.
"Just who are you calling a fur ball Uchiha brat!" Kurama roared.
Sasuke smirked. "Obviously you fur ball. You're a very friendly fox compared to what the stories we were told." Sasuke scratched Kurama's ear making him purr.
"Damn...brat.." Kurama purred.
"Yeah yeah I hear you O Great Kurama." Sasuke teased.
It was amazing to me how this Sasuke was. Seriously I would never expect him to be this way. From the look Naruto was giving him. He didn't either, but it was nice. I will take this Sasuke over brooding, revenged crazed Sasuke any day!
"Hey Kurama-sama, do you think you can start training Naruto how to use your chakra soon? It would be much easier for us if he knew how to access your chakra properly now than later." I asked.
"I suppose I could." Kurama agreed.
"Could you also teach him how to distribute his chakra to us so it can give us an edge in case we need it?" I asked. You had another thing coming if you didn't think I wasn't going to ask that. Maybe I won't get to be a jinchuuriki but I'll be damned if I didn't get to use the youki the allied shinobi were using during the fourth Great War. It looked so badass, I always wondered how it felt to use Kurama's chakra.
"Oh? So you think Naruto here has the potential to master my power to such a degree? If you know as much as you are letting on Sakura then you know Naruto won't be able to fully control my chakra until he gets the key. I assume either that hokage or yours or that supposed god father of his has it." Kurama retorted. He wanted to see if she would call out his bluff. Naruto really did need the key to fully master his power. But Kurama can teach him to distribute his chakra to others if they work together.
I rolled my eyes at him. "Come on Kurama-sama. I know for a fact that you can teach Naruto this even without the key. All you would have to do is make sure that the chakra isn't poisonous. Naruto would have to practice his chakra control like crazy. But with the amount of shadow clones he can make. I'm sure he'll get it done pretty quick."
"Damn so I could really do that? Shit team 7 would be the strongest team in the village if I could do that." Naruto said in excitement.
"Hn even without that we would still be the best dobe." Sasuke reminded him.
"Yeah yeah I know teme but come on! Even you know that would be freaking cool if all of us could use his chakra." Naruto replied in the same excited tone.
Sasuke sighed. "I'll admit it would be kinda cool." He smirked.
"Heh you sure are a smart girl. Fine I'll help out with that also. But only on one condition. Only you pinky and the uchiha brat are the only ones to use my chakra. I'm not a charity. I don't want to give my chakra to just anybody. Unless you see an absolute need to do so. Naruto is not to give my chakra to anybody but you two. Even that scarecrow of a teacher of yours is not allowed to use my chakra." Kurama told us.
I tried to hold back my laughter at the scarecrow term used to describe Kakashi. But I failed miserably as soon as Naruto let out his laugh. Sasuke was even chuckling himself at the scarecrow comment.
"Haha scarecrow! Oh that's rich I'm definitely calling Kakashi-sensei that when I see him." Naruto laughed.
"W-We should call him scarecrow-sensei from now on." I said through my laughs.
"Anyways while you brats are laughing. If you want to make things easier. Tear off a piece piece of the seal. It won't release of anything. It's just to let me be able to give more chakra to Naruto. It will also make it a lot easier for him to control his chakra. My chakra is merging with his so it makes it a lot harder for him to control. I can make it easier on him by balancing out the ratio better. It won't be as good as it can be if he had the key. But it will be much better than it is now. And you have my word I won't try anything. It'll also let me be able to take over Naruto's body of the need arises. So I can protect him. Because if he does so do I and I don't want to die any time soon. It takes time for me to reincarnated." Kurama voiced.
Sasuke and Naruto looked at me. I nodded with resulted into them nodding back. Kurama used his hand to his Naruto high enough so he can reach the seal.
Naruto slowly tore off a quarter of the paper. That resulted in his arm being grabbed. He looked over to see a man who looked just like his...father.
"D-D-Dad?" Naruto muttered.
Me and Sasuke looked at each other in mild shock. I'm an idiot for not suspecting that the fourth would show up in case anything happened to the seal.
"Sakura..is that..?" Sasuke spoke.
"Yeah that's him. That the fourth hokage...Naruto's father." I said.
Minato looked over to see his son, the fox and two other kids who looked close to his son's age. A smile crept on his face hearing his son call out to him.
"It's good to finally meet you Naruto..my son." Minato said.
"Dad..." Naruto then punched him in the stomach as hard as he could.
It caught everybody off guard. I knew Naruto did punch Minato when he met him during the pain invasion. But that was because he had so many frustrations to get off of his chest. Including wanting to know why he picked him to seal the fox.
"Why did the hell did you choose me to carry Kurama. Do you know what the hell the villagers put me through because of it. No I don't blame Kurama for it but damn it I still had to deal with their hate! For so long I had to wonder if you or mom even loved me. If it wasn't for Sakura-chan I wouldn't have known a single thing! I want to be mad at you for leaving me to fend for myself but I just can't. I know how selfish of me it would for me to do so. But I can't help but to feel this way right now after finally meeting you!" Naruto raged while having tears in his eyes.
"I see...I'm sorry for putting such a burden on you Naruto. Believe me if it was any other choice I would have. But unfortunately I didn't. Your mother wasn't going to die along side the fo-" Minato was cut off.
"Kurama, his name is Kurama dad." Naruto corrected.
Minato was surprised to know that the fox had a name. "Oh sorry well Kurama. She was going to die by sealing Kurama back inside of her. But I knew that his power would be needed in the future. I'm sorry for making you carry such a burden by yourself Naruto."
Naruto sighed as he wiped his tears. "It's ok, I'm the son of the fourth hokage. So I can handle it."
Minato smiled. I had a few tears in my eyes at the touching moment between father and son.
"Now can you explain to me why you are tore off a quarter of the seal?" Minato asked.
"Because it will help me have better access to Kurama's chakra." Naruto answered.
"And how can you be so sure to trust Kurama?" Minato asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Because Kurama isn't a bad person. He's just someone who wanted his freedom back dad. We took that away from him. He never asked to be sealed. From the books I read about the hokage's the first hokage had fought against Madara Uchiha who had Kurama at his side. Kurama was forced to fight alongside Madara. He actually hates him.
"Damn right I do." Kurama grunted.
"I..I see." Minato didn't know what to think. His son made sense when he said we took his freedom away from him. Had they assumed that he was a evil fox from the beginning?
"Come on dad since you are here I want to introduce you to my friends. They are also my new family!" Naruto said as he grabbed Minato's wrist and dragged him to meet Sasuke and Sakura.
"New family?" Minato wondered.
Once Minato Namikaze was infront of my face. I couldn't resist myself. I glomped him hard. "MINATO-SAMA~!" I squealed.
Minato felt her weight collide with him. He almost fell to the ground. "Umm hello?" He said.
"OI GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF MY HUSBAND!" Someone screeched.
Minato jumped as he recognized that voice. So did Kurama.
Kushina Uzumaki herself was standing to the side of everybody with narrowed eyes. Seems she didn't appreciate someone hugging her husband.
"K-kaa-chan?" Naruto muttered in a soft tone.
Kushina looked to see her son looking at her. She smiled at him. "Hello Naruto-kun."
Naruto ran and hugged her with all of his light. He finally was able to meet his mother. He cried into his chest. Kushina hugged him in a motherly fashion.
"Geez dobe you sure are a cry baby." Sasuke teased.
"Shut up teme! I don't wanna hear it right now." Naruto muffled in his mother's chest.
Eventually Naruto releases his hold on his mother. Before he could say anything. I tackled Kushina into a hug too. "Oh my god KUSHINA-SAMA. I CANT BELIEVE IM ACTUALLY MEETING YOU!" I squealed.
Kushina was surprised. She didn't even notice Sakura coming towards her. "Uhh hi? Weren't you just hugging my husband?" She asked.
"Yes but I'm a fan of yours along with his! You were legendary in anbu!" I yelled in excitement.
Sasuke walked up to Naruto. "Is she gonna do that to every person she's a fan of?" He asked Naruto.
Naruto shrugged. "I don't know but I don't seem any harm in it. So far no one has mention their dislike of it."
Sasuke sighed. "No, no they haven't."
"So Naruto mind explaining why your friend is such a fan of ours?" Minato chuckled.
It took about 10 mins to explained my 'bloodline' to Minato and Kushina. As expected they were both shocked. I even proved it to them by describing Naruto's birth to them. And how I know when they decided to choose his name.
"Wow...that's an amazing ability. To see the past and the future." Minato voiced.
"I know right? Thanks to this ability I've learned many things about the shinobi world." I smirked.
"Very amazing indeed. So what made you three even come here?" Kushina asked.
"Well we just formed our team several days ago. But since I've been having these visions for as long as I could remember. I knew we were going to be put together. So after getting to know the boys a bit. I decided to tell them about my bloodline. I also told Naruto about you guys and Sasuke about the Uchiha Massacre." I answered.
"Uchiha massacre?" Both Kushina and Minato said at the same time.
"Long story short, Danzo forced Sasuke's older brother Itachi to choose between letting civil war break out because the uchiha clan were planning a coup. Or to kill his entire clan sparring his beloved little brother Sasuke. The third hokage was coerced by the elders to sign off on it. The only ones who know the full details about the mission are Danzo, the elders, the third and now all of us." I explained.
Minato sighed. "I always knew Danzo would cause trouble eventually. There's no way I would've let Itachi go through with that. Not all of the Uchiha's needed to die. Especially the innocent children."
"By the way Minato-sama. The masked man you fought wasn't Madara. It was your student Obito Uchiha." I told him.
Minato and Kushina's eyes went wide. "Obito? Are you sure because I know he died." Minato asked with a serious tone.
"I'm 1000% positive, he survived because the real actually Madara who was still alive at the time saved him. But Madara used Obito by corrupting him with the pain of loss. Obito was there when Rin died. Kakashi-sensei doesn't know but Obito showed up right when Rin jumped in front of Kakashi-sensei's attack. It caused him to go mad and kill everybody mist ninja. Kakashi had passed out right after Rin died so he didn't see Obito. Madara corrupted Obito so much that he convinced him into continuing his plan while he was dead. The plan to use all the tailed beast to revive the ten tails and put the entire world under a genjutsu of their perfect world." I told them.
Minato and Kushina didn't say anything as they took all of this information in. "I wish I could've been there to help him. I'm sure Obito wanted to come back to Konoha once he found out he survived." Minato said in a sad tone.
"He did but Madara wouldn't let him. It was part of his ploy of manipulating him." I said.
"That's terrible, poor Obito-kun. Naruto you have to try to save him for us ok?" Kushina pleaded.
Naruto looked torn. "I..I can try for you two kaa-chan. I don't know how to feel about the guy considering he's the cause of your deaths. Kurama would've never been released from mom. And you two would still be alive. I don't know if I can forgive him for that. But I can at least try to help him see the error of his ways."
"You do end up convincing him Naruto. But that won't be for awhile from now. At the very least it won't be until a few years from now. Hopefully this time we can convince him before the war. But it's highly doubtful so we'll just have to try to convince him during the war." I assured him.
"All I can ask is for you three to try. I can't help but blame myself still for not making it in time to help my team that day. I've failed them as a sensei." Minato asked.
"I don't think you did lord fourth. It wasn't your fault that your team just so happen to get caught in some unlucky moments. You had no way of knowing what happened to Rin or Obito. Plus Rin would've died anyways as soon as she stepped foot in the village. So don't blame yourself for things you had no control over." Sasuke spoke.
Me and Naruto was surprised that Sasuke was offering comfort to someone.
Minato smiled slightly. "Thank you for your words..."
"Sasuke, Sasuke Uchiha." Sasuke introduced himself. Didn't Sakura just his name not that long ago?
"Oh! So you are little Sasuke then! Oh my you've grown up. I was supposed to be your aunt Sasuke-kun. Me and your mother Mikoto were good friends." Kushina smiled.
Sasuke was surprised to her that. A part of him was actually happy he had some sort of connection to his mother still. "Good to meet you Obasan." Sasuke gave her a small smile.
Kushina walked up and hugged him tight. "Oh my little nephew. You look just like your mother I swear it like I'm seeing her twin!" She gushed.
Sasuke blushed at her words but were very grateful for them.
Naruto was laughing at how Sasuke was blushing. I lightly hit him in the arm to get him to stop.
"So...am I just being ignored now?" Kurama asked.
I turned around to Kurama and rubbed his big whiskers. "Of course not Kurama-sama. No one could ever forget someone as powerful as you." I cooed at him.
"Hmph damn right they couldn't. I'm too great to be forgotten about." Kurami voiced.
"That you are Kurama-sama. That you are." I said in a dreamy voice while petting his whiskers.
"So umm Kurama-san...how's it going?" Minato asked awkwardly.
Kurama smirked. "Oh so well after being cooped up for 13 years. But how's being dead?"
"...asshole." Minato said which made everybody laugh.
"Umm Kurama-san I would like to apologize for the way I treated you in the past. I did never give it a chance to understand where you were coming from. I'm sure you also went fond with the way you were restrained..." Kushina apologized.
Kurama rolled his eyes. "No shit you loud mouth red head. Luckily I recently decided to turn a new leaf otherwise I would try to finish you and your husband off right as you stand. But that would make my host Naruto upset. And I can tell he's going to be something special in the future. All three of these brats will be. Don't think I don't know you have access to all five chakra natures Sakura."
"Damn you stupid fur ball. I was trying to apologize nicely! No need to call me a loud mouth red head baka fox!" Kushina yelled at him.
"Damn it Kurama-sama! I was planning on keeping that as a surprise! Why do you have such a big mouth!" I also yelled at him.
Kurama chuckled. "Aw shut up, like I said Kushina. I'm willing to forget the past. So your apology is somewhat accepted."
"You have all five chakra natures Sakura-chan?! That's so awesome!" Naruto voiced.
"And you weren't planning on telling us?" Sasuke raised his eyebrow.
I waved my hands frantically. "No no! I just wanted to surprise you two! Honestly I planned on telling you soon. Like a couple days type soon!"
Sasuke smirked. "Calm down Sakura, I get it. No need to freak out about it."
"Y-You bastard you were teasing me. Damn you Sasuke!" I chased after him.
The Uchiha was fast but I was determined. He would pay for teasing me like that.
Minato watched the two run around like idiots. He looked over to his son. "So Naruto..those two are you new family?" He asked.
Naruto grinned. "Yep! Wouldn't have it any other way. We all just recently moved in with each other so we wouldn't feel alone anymore."
"Well that's good, Kami knows how worried I was about you being able to make friends. I definitely approve of those two. Make side you protect them with your life Naruto-kun." Kushina voiced.
"You got it kaa-chan." Naruto said.
After Sasuke and me were done running around. We stood back with everybody.
"Ok you guys have my permission to use notes and learn of my techniques. I'm sure you know of the rasengan right Sakura?" Minato asked.
"Yes sir, I know all about it. Naruto here was able to learn it in a month and master it in a week in the future. He even added his wind element to it." I grinned.
To say Minato was surprised was an understatement. He looked at his son and felt pride rise in his chest. "Good for you Naruto. Even if you didn't do it yet. I'm proud of you." He patted Naruto on his head.
"Thanks dad." Naruto replied.
"Well we should probably get going. Me and Kushina only have a limited amount of chakra inside of Naruto's body before it's gone. We want to see you guys a few more times before we disappear so to conserve our chakra. We'll be taking our leave. Naruto you won't always see us when you visit here. If you ever want us to show up just call out to us. But keep in mind the times you do. We only have a few more times to meet like this. Since you already adjusted the seal, I'll just watch over it to make sure nothing happens to it. Jiraiya should have the key or it should be in mt myōboku still. It's the place where the toad summons reside. While I am mad at him for not being in your life. I understand the reasoning. Don't try to master all of Kurama's chakra until your body grows more. Your body needs to be able to handle it all. Just train with the amount you have access to now. But as I'm sure you know. Don't just rely on his power. Use your own as well. I believe in you my son." Minato told Naruto.
Kushina brought Naruto into a hug. "Naruto-kun I am proud at how the way the way you've grown without us to guide you. Make sure you always know that we are with you even if we are dead in the outside world. I love you my dear Naruto-kun." She kissed his cheek.
Naruto had tears coming down his eyes again. He knew he would see them again. But their words still touched him deeply.
"Sasuke-kun please get revenge on that bastard Danzo for me. Mikoto was very precious to me. It hurts knowing she was killed because of him. Also I want you to grow to be a strong man. Naruto needs a brother to be there for him. You are also like a son to me because Mikoto asked me to be your god mother. So please always stick together with your new family. I know we will see each other again so please keep on the right path and save your brother." Kushina asked him.
Sasuke had a determined look in his eyes. He felt his determination for saving his brother and getting revenge on Danzo increased tenfold now that his god mother asked him too. "Of course Dai Haha. I promise you I will."
Kushina smiled at him before she gave him a kiss on his cheek. Causing Sasuke to blush again.
"And you Sakura-chan, please take care of the boys. I know Naruto shares my recklessness so try to keep him out of too much trouble. And become a strong kunoichi. Don't let the boys leave you in the dust. Show them who is boss. You three will definitely be in for a crazy future. But you will overcome it if you stick together. Cherish your family, they will support you when no one else will." Kushina spoke to her.
Sasuke and Naruto felt a chill go down their spine when Kushina told Sakura to show them who is boss. Both looked at each other and mentally agreed that Sakura was definitely going to be the boss of their team and family. Not that either of them minded. They were just slightly scared at what she might do if they get out of line.
"Will do Kushina-sama." I smirked.
Kushina and Minato faded away back into the seal.
"Ok so what now?" Sasuke asked.
Why don't you three go train like you were going to do at first. Naruto when you all are out of here. I want you to create a shadow clone. I will merge my chakra with the clone. This way I'll personally be able to train you guys since I doubt scarecrow is going to anytime soon. Until he realizes how far you've come without his help." Kurama advised.
"No one will be able to detect your chakra?" Sasuke asked.
"No most of my chakra will still be inside Naruto's body. As far as any sensor would know. I'm just a super charged shadow clone. You won't be able to distinguish between us two unless you are around me enough to know how my chakra signature differs from his." Kurama explained.
"Hell yeah I'm all on board! I mean how many people can say they've been trained by the strongest of all tailed beast!" I cheered.
Kurama smirked. "Ohoho I know who is already my favorite brat."
"Oi Kurama that's not fair. I'm your host!" Naruto whined.
Kurama sighed. "Yeah yeah brat I like you too."
Naruto grinned.
"Ok I'm all in, I'm sure Kurama knows a lot more than Kakashi does anyways." Sasuke shrugged.
"Exactly brat, if I had to guess I would say he is also supposed to train you in using your sharingan. I know more about it than he does. I can help you learn how to advance it to the mangekyo version. It'll take time but you should be able to achieve it. Be warned though, excessive use of the mangekyo leads to blindness." Kurama said.
"Oh...well shit that's depressing. Looks like I'm going to be learning medical ninjutsu." Sasuke figured.
I gasped. "Me too Sasuke! We can learn it together!"
Sasuke "Hn." In agreement.
"Hey I wanna learn it too!" Naruto said.
"We'll have to get your chakra control to the point where you can kit. Don't worry it won't take as long as it originally would now. So come on let's get to work." Kurama then forced all of us out of the mindscape.
I opened my eyes to see I was in the same position I was in before we were pulled inside Naruto's mindscape.
We all stood up. "Damn how much time passed?" Naruto wondered.
"Probably not as much as your thinking. Anyways summon the clone so we can get started on our training." Sasuke told him.
"Alright no need to be in a rush teme." Naruto made a clone appear.
The clone looked exactly like Naruto instead you could see the red eyes and darkened whiskers showing that it was Kurama.
"Ahh it feels good to be back in the outside world. Well let's get started your brats. I want you to run around the village 10 times. Then we will start sparring. I will point out each of your flaws in your forms. Then we will start chakra control. I want to start building your muscles. Meaning Sasuke you are also going to be wearing weights like Naruto and Sakura. It will help increase your speed while helping you build your muscles more. Naruto from now on, no ramen everyday. You need to have a good diet so you can have the proper nutrition. Good thing Sakura knows how to cook well. For the rest of this week we will be starting with the basics. Now get moving!" Kurama ordered.
We didn't even try to argue as we all ran. Kurama must've used some sort of jutsu because weight suddenly appeared of Sasuke's calves and wrist. This was the start of our training with Kurama-sensei.
