Four days later, Naruto woke up to someone above him, wiping a wet cloth along his forehead. The person jumped seeing his eyes. She left the room in a rush. A woman came walking in with another woman. She looked at the boy and gave him a smile. She looked up when she heard heavy footsteps. Moran walked in and up to the boy. He placed a hand on Naruto's forehead and watched the boy flinch at the touch.
"The healer will be back in a few days. I will get him something to eat." the woman said
She left with the other women and Moran knelt down.
"Boy, next time you will not be so lucky. It will be in your best interest to do as you're told."
The women returned with soup. She was uneasy with the man as she brought a spoonful of the soup to the boy's mouth. He turned his head from it. He started to cough and the women helped him to sit up. She gave him some water. Naruto keep his vision to his lap. He hurt all over and found his right arm was bound to his chest.
The women brought the spoon back to his mouth, and he turned away again.
"You will have to eat. I will bring you something later." she said
She got up and left. Moran looked at the boy, studying him for a moment. He stood up and left the room. Naruto found the hold of sleep on him again. He just laid back and fell asleep.

Moran went back to his room and was stopped by one of his men.
"Moran-san, a memorandum came from Lord Fang."
He took it and read through the contents.
"Send a reply telling him that we will be delayed due to the boy being hurt. We will leave once he is able to be moved."
The man nodded and left. Moran went to his room and locked the door behind him. He swore his headache was getting worse with the boy.

In Moon, the king was still surprised at the message he got from his representative in Konoha. He was shocked himself finding that the current Hokage had family. Reports told that she did not. He got a team together and had them go to the Fang to get the boy back. He had gotten another letter from the Hokage, telling him that she wanted to send over some of her ninjas. He sent a message back, telling her that she had use of his ship that brought his men over. He even told her to send some of her genin teams to learn from them, once the matter at hand was dealt with.

Two days passed and Naruto woke up to the women brushing his hair from his face. She made him sit up. She saw that he looked in pain and he flinched whenever she touched him. She put the lip of a cup to his mouth.
"Try this; you should be able to keep it down."
Naruto's nose curled and his stomach churned. He moved his head from the cup. She frowned and set the cup down on a small table by the bed. He had not eaten in the last two days.
"You are going have to eat to get your strength back."
Naruto closed his eyes as pain flared through his body. His stomach felt like it was on fire. She looked up as the door opened, Moran came walking in.
"Has he eaten?" he asked
"No, and he is in pain. His fever is up." she said
Moran walked up and frowned. Naruto was coved in sweat and his was breathing was slow.
"The healer will be here in the morning, he should know what is going on." she said
He nodded. She got up and walked out. She set the cup in the sink. She went to bed hoping the best for the boy. Moran left the room and back to his at the inn.

Naruto woke up in his mind, in front of the cage of the kyuubi. He glared at the fox.
"What are you doing to me you bastard?"
He wanted to stand up, but he did not have the strength. Crimson eyes open up.
"Something I should have done years ago."
A wave of chakra engulfed Naruto. He let out a silent scream. His body slumped as the chakra left him and he faded from view. Kyuubi let out a sigh. It closed its eyes, as a single tear fell.
