I don't own Naruto or Fairy Tail… or the seven deadly sins.

=====Three days later=====

Over the course of the next few days they tried to get their affairs in order. Sakana had a few more hours with her husband. What she was afraid of was him not going to be able to make it. She was by his side the whole time trying to heal him with what spells and jutsu she knew. She was desperate for him to survive, even if it meant they lived as prisoners they could still be together. She lost Natsu she didn't want to lose Nakari too. After the fight she and Nakari surrendered to Team 8. She had said their life of running was over and she wanted to go back to the leaf to pay for what she's done. Saying her biggest regret was leaving the village. She wouldn't mention why this was but she only said she didn't keep a promise.

Kakashi sent a messenger dog to the leaf to list the details and negotiations of surrender to the Hokage. For Sakana all she could do was wait. They all stayed at Tazuna's house for the rest of their time there. Since Gato was gone they could finish the bridge. However it would take longer because of Naruto being out cold otherwise they could have 40 shadow clones help. But they got it worked on even if he was unavailable. During her break time Hikari would try to meditate to reach their connected mind scape but the process took longer than expected. IT took her time to eventually get in, and once she was in she found out what was wrong with her mate. He was healing, but included in her healing him she also saw that his demon chakra was trying to manifest within him. She hated lying to him but there was a lot more she would have to reveal than just him turning into a demon because of being her mate.

Naruto took some more time to get up but he was too weak to get any true work accomplished. Therefore he was benched until he could get back into shape. On day two since they were going to be in the town until the bridge was done he was doing what could be considered D-rank missions for free to help out. This took up most of his time and allowed him to do some small exercise. He couldn't say he didn't enjoy it, and he got to spend a lot of time with the children of the wave. He often added Hikari for some help in summoning since he was told to do things on the low. This resulted in her summoning their two tailed fox familiar Kori. The kids had lots of fun playing with Naruto that some even looked up to him, even Konohamaru who started calling big brother.

As the day went on they eventually all sat down for dinner, not a quiet one but still a dinner. Erza brought food upstairs for Nakari and Sakana who was still tending to her husband. In the midst of this calmness a knock was heard on the door and was revealed to be a Ninja with a scroll. The person was a jonin returning from a mission who was told to stop by this location. They were here to help heal Nakari and drop off a response to Kakashi's previous message. Nakari and Sakana were both given bracelets to track them and they were only able to be removed by the Hokage. Sakana mentioned she wasn't going anywhere she just wanted to atone for her sins.

On the third day Naruto was back in-shape. The next day the bridge would be open. This led them to do the final plan in their mission at the wave. Gato's base. They had a map thanks to Haku and they had the code to the treasure vault. All they needed was to attack. That was what they realized they would have to do.

====Gato's base 2200====

They saw everyone packing up everything to move. But what they couldn't understand was why? The raiding team was Naruto, Erza, Zabuza and Haku. Kurenai and Kakashi had stayed back to keep Guard on the house. Positioned at the front was Naruto and Haku, and in the back was Erza and Zabuza. Using the radios they hid in the treeline waiting for the signal. "EZ to NH we launch in 10 mask up," Erza said to them as they waited. They all put on mask to keep the enemy from seeing their faces.

Naruto and Haku looked up and saw a flare in the sky, that was their cue. They jumped down from the tree line and knocked out the guard right before rushing. Naruto took his sword and started to slash away at bandits who came at him. Haku started throwing senbon hitting vital organs for the kill. She eventually got enough space to make some ice mirrors and flash through them.

In the back of the camp Erza and Zabuza were slicing through enemies left and right. Erza switched armors constantly from using her Black Wing Armor to fly over them and then come down with a flurry of attacks planning ahead. Zabuza took a more berserker approach and cut through everyone around him the carnage was endless.

Naruto and Haku made it into the building first, and when they got inside and started heading for the vault they found women who were captured. They both knew that Gato was shipping a lot more than just normal things. This however enraged Naruto, and he almost lost control of himself. Haku hugged him out of spontaneity and told him to calm down. When he realized what was going on this brought him back down a bit. They ended up freeing all the prisoners and told them to hide until they came back.

They met with Erza and Zabuza at the rendezvous point and then made their way to the treasure room. After Naruto used the code he had picked up from Gato they looted the entire area. Money, deeds, you name it, they took everything. On their way down they helped the captives escape and took them back to the Land of Waves and to their families.

====Noon the next day====

They distributed the money throughout the town and were getting ready to leave for their home. This forced them to leave everyone they met. While Tazuna talked to the leaders, Naruto and Hikari were surrounded by the kids who were sad to see them go. As they said their farewells Naruto felt a tug on his pants leg, he looked behind him to see Inari pulling on him. "Are you really leaving Aniki?" he asked with tears in his eyes. If Naruto knew one thing to help it was a hug. He embraced the boy who say him as an older brother and ruffled his hair.

"I didn't say goodbye Inari, I'm not leaving and I haven't left. My mom always told me never say goodbye. If you don't say goodbye then you aren't really gone, you're just aren't here right now." He smiled and stood up. "Write to me in the leaf village okay?" Naruto said and Inari nodded to him as response. As they all said their goodbyes they were all given extra money to cover for not originally paying for an A-rank mission. Teams 8 and 7 along with Zabuza, Haku, and Sakana who was carrying Nakari headed back to the leaf village.

=====Hidden Leaf=====

"Teams 8 and 7 reporting from the Land of Waves. We have captives with us who were given an audience with the Hokage" Erza said as she present the scroll to the gate guard who inspected them and passed them to his co-worker who nodded.

"Anbu will escort you to the Hokage Tower you and your team are to go straight there." He said and let them go. As they walked through the town Nakari and Sakana were given glares by ninja in the village who knew of them. Narkari was still helped by Sakana to get around. Even though he was healed he was still struggling to get around. They eventually made their way to the Hokage's office where he was waiting for them.

"Before anything happens I want to address the most important situation. The terms and conditions of surrender." He said firmly with a serious tone that filled the room with a chill. "Zabuza your name will be removed from the bingo book, but you will be spend time in jail until we find out what we can do with you. Haku you will be under house arrest for a week and then probation for 2 months. You will be monitored on your actions. Both of you face good behavior early releases but it won't be that easy." He explained and they nodded, after this he turned to Sakana and Nakari. He was about to start but Sakana beat him to the punch.

"Saru- Lord Hokage, I ask for your forgiveness. What I have done in the past was only out of my desperation to reunite with my son. I only saw one way and once I heard of it I had to try to scroll of sealing. When I met Erza I knew there was a way to get back, but after the fight where I was captured I almost lost my husband. We are in your debt for saving his life. I accept any verdict but I just have questions that need answers, please just grant me that."

Hiruzen looked at her and nodded. "We will get there, but first I want to be given a full mission report. All Genin are dismissed and so are you Kakashi." As they left he looked at Kurenai who gave the report.

"We were attacked by the demon brothers earlier into the mission. We subdued them and sent them back to the leaf. As we continued into the Wave we were ambushed by Zabuza, yet we were still able to hold him off until he was stopped by a hunter-nin who was later identified as Haku. When Naruto met Haku that's when the treaty for Zabuza was founded." From there Kurenai passed it to Erza.

"We eventually came across Nakari and Sakana along with two more rouge nin who were defeated in combat. After Nakari was taken town Sakana surrendered in return for her Husband to be healed. During the fight Naruto had unlocked new powers and abilities. This new ability is called "Full Counter" It sends back any magic spell back to the caster with increased damage, we don't know yet but I believe it may also counter jutsu. Also during the fight Sasuke Uchiha had injured his fellow shinobi by using them for a substitution. This resulted in Naruto losing control of her" She finished letting Sarutobi know of the situation. Sakana Upon hearing Naruto's name showed concern.

"Alright then, you will be all given pay for an A-rank mission. Good work out there, but don't bother leaving as I have something important to discuss with you and other Jonin-senseis." He said and they took a seat. He then gave his attention back to Sakana. "What would you like to know?" He asked ready to answer.

"You know I had ties with the Fourth Hokage correct?" Sakana asked and he nodded, this enticed Erza greatly, what would Sakana have to do with Naruto's father. "I know he is disappointed in the path I took, but if I know him and all the time we spent together told me something it's that he believes in second chances. He died fighting the Kyuubi, but I need to know what happened to my godson."

"Your godson!" Erza said with a shock.

It was all clear now.

=====With Naruto and Hikari at Ichiraku Ramen====

Hikari was on her third bowl and Naruto was on his fourth. Their team had split up so Naruto offered Hikari for a quick lunch date. As they continued eating he stopped mid-slurp and sighed. "Konohamaru rocks don't have eye-holes, they also aren't square." He said and turned around.

"Oh c'mon boss we tried at least, and we need one more person to play ninjas with us." He said disappointed. For Konohamaru, ever since Naruto took a mission given to him by Sarutobi to watch him, he's warmed up more than ever. This was actually done on purpose because He knew Konohamaru needed someone to see him for who he was like he's complained before. Naruto was just that person.

"Wow a ninja playing Ninja, really Naruto" Sakura mocked as she came towards them with a grocery bag in hand. Naruto sighed in mild frustration from seeing her. Konohamaru didn't pick up on it and bit his tongue. "Hey boss is this your girlfriend?" He questioned and Hikari turned around after hearing that.

"No, no she is not." Hikari said to Naruto's relife. "Oh that's good, her forehead it so big I thought she came to work as the Ichiraku Billboard." Konohamaru said not realizing he pissed her off. "Konohamaru, I have to pay for this ramen, in the meanwhile run." Naruto responded and pulled out his wallet. They were still academy students and to them any killing intent is a good amount. As they took off Naruto paid for the food he an Hikari ate and they ran off after them.

Once they caught up with Konohamaru and Sakura, they found him held by a ninja in a black outfit. It almost wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't from the hidden sand. "Put him down Kankuro." The girl with him said in frustration.

"Nah Temari I'm going to teach this punk a lesson, he needs to learn to watch where he's going." The one now identified as Kankuro said back to her. Naruto then took his moment to step in. "Listen that kid right there is the grandson of the Third Hokage. You hurt him and legally I have to bring you in pal, make this easy for us. Besides what's Suna doing here anyway." Naruto asked and the girl stepped forward with a scroll.

"The Chunin exams are taking place here." She showed him the paper and then put the scroll away before hitting Kankuro on the head. "I'm sorry for my brother's behavior it won't happen again, I'm Temari and that's my brother Kankuro." Naruto nodded and then looked to Hikari.

'Do you feel that?' Naruto asked Hikari through their mental link. He was sure there was someone they need to watch. 'Yeah that's the chakra of my sister the Ichibi no Shukaku. If she's here this can't be good.' Naruto looked up to a tree, the source of the energy. "You can tell your other brother to come down, if you're all siblings that is."

The were shocked, both wondering how he could tell where Garra was. The boy jumped down and stood there looking at him with curiosity. "Who are you?" Garra asked him. "Naruto Uzumaki. Now tell me who are you."

"Sabaku no Garra, mother says she wants you dead."

Hikari stepped forward and started Garra deep in the eyes. "Tell your mother I said I'll beat her ass if she doesn't let you sleep." There was silence and Temari was ready to drop. She openly threatened Garra. Garra backed up confused "Who are you and why is mother so afraid?" He asked, his answer was a smile.

"Well I'm Hikari nice to meet you. That kid over there is Konohamaru and the girl is Sakura, we're not on a Team with her or the brooder in the tree." She said and sasuke jumped down from another tree into the alley. "Also we should get somewhere private, then we can talk more. Konohamaru go home, we have things to discuss" Hikari said.

"Wait redhead who are you?" Sasuke demanded to know. In the end he was given the cold shoulder. "Someone of no concern to you." Garra responded making Sasuke furious and left with Naruto, Hikari, and his siblings in tow.

=====Suna Hotel Room=====

"So who are you and why does mother tell me not to listen." Garra asked as they all sat down. Hikari looked at Naruto, he nodded and put up a privacy seal on the room and signaled it was done. "I am the Kyuubi no Kitsune nice to meet my sister's keeper." The sand siblings all looked shocked to hear this. "W-What you can't be serious." Temari stuttered out

"As a heart attack. I know that your brother is my sister's jinjuriki because not only does he have the marks of the shukaku but also I can sense her chakra. So I'm going to do what I did with the last time she took a vessel." Hikari said and applied a chakra seal to the room. It was something to them because it made the whole room glow. Running through hand signs she put her hand on his head. "Shukaku come out now!" Her voice took a dark over tone as if she was in her demon form, red chakra engulfed her and she donned her nine fox tails and her two ears. Both orange with a white tip. Garra then felt drowsy but still stayed awake, sand then started seeping from Garra's container and it swirled into a mini-twister until a person formed.

When the twister dropped a girl, slightly shorter than Hikari by a few inches appeared. She had pasty skin, sandy brown hair with bangs, her t-shirt was a brown tank top and she had black short jeans on. Her arm had a tattoo for one on it. She opened her eyes and they were a deep amber but they were black instead of white. She also had a single tail and two ears of a tanuki on her head. "Heyyy sis what brings you to my neck of the woods." The girl said coyly.

Hikari looked her in the eyes with fire. "I told you to treat your vessel properly and they may return the favor. I can easily tell he lacks sleep, you're known to do that to your vessel's for release. Do like the rest of us and give the contract." She said sending chills to the room, the girl glared and took a fighting stance.

"Why should I listen to you! You don't know what it's like being trapped, your vessels loved you! But if I can beat you, you'll have to respect me then! I'll show you are tails don't mean everything like when we were kids!" She screamed and formed a spear from the sand around her. It had an gold head on each side that shined brightly. The staff appeared collapsible and dark brown with a blue swirl. Hikari was taken back by those words and felt a surge of memories. All of the tailed beast had perfect memory. This was a blessing, and a curse.

Hikari walked toward her slowly not minding for the spear and did the one thing she hadn't done in a while. She hugged the smaller girl tightly, her ears and tails disappeared, and Shukaku's eyes widened. "I'm sorry Shoko… I never knew you still hated me from back then. But since that time I've learned that maybe are tails aren't just everything. I'll see you and Garra in the Chunin Exams but just let the boy sleep without trying to kill everything around him. Maybe he'll sign the contract."

She said and looked whispered in her ear before departing from the embrace. "C'mon Naruto lets go." She said and walked to the door leaving the sand siblings in shock. "She can fill you in but Garra might have to sign her contract, she'll tell you what it is, and can fill you in on our history. This also stays in this room, only between us. Also not only will anyone think you're crazy but it's an S-class secret punishable by death" With that Naruto and Hikari left them to their affairs, and Shoko disappeared to her seal.

Namikaze Estate

Naruto and Hikari walked in after a long day and made sure they weren't tailed by anyone. When they entered in the saw Erza and Jellal talking about the missions that they had. "Naruto, your mom tells me that you unlocked a new power. I can't wait to test that in a spar." Jellal said to him getting up and ruffling his hair.

"Yeah still all this time and even though I learned it I can't do the five layered magic circle without messing up." Naruto said exhausted and plopped on the couch. Hikari chuckled and his worn out tone. "We ran into Team 7 and then some sand-nin, apparently the chunin exams are coming up?" She asked and they both looked at her.

"Well we were going to tell you about that later, but yeah they are." Jellal said and relaxed on the couch. "By the way, you said Team 7, isn't that the one with the Uchiha boy on it." He question and Hikari nodded back in response. "There's a girl on my team who seems to be infatuated with him. Hopefully I broke it from her by the time the exams start." He said and looked back to a few scrolls writing down reports from his last mission.

"Naruto, Hikari, why don't you two go to bed. You'll have a long few days ahead of you. Hikari we'll need to train on your re-equip and Naruto there's a lot in store for you too." Erza said and they nodded walking hand in hand upstairs, however this didn't go unnoticed by Erza. "IN SEPARATE BEDS!" She shouted and was met with a fireball and a raspberry. "Requip" She requipped a belt. "Bring that ass here boy!" With her war cry she went after them, and upstairs sounded like a mini-warzone. After she came down giggling. "Even now they're still a handful." She sat next to Jellal and started her own report for her mission to the wave. "I take it that the Hokage filled you in?" She asked looking to her husband.

"Yes he has, I just don't understand how can we tell Naruto." He donned look of frustration on his face. "You may have gotten away with Zabuza and Haku but I don't think it'll be easy on Sakana" He said.

"What that he and his godmother tried to kill each other or that right now she's in jail with her husband and pending what the Hokage should do with them.

===========Mindscape============

Naruto looked at Hikari while they sat down. He had many questions and needed answers. "You told them about us, why would you do that!?" He shouted and she sighed.

"Because I know that if you knew the truth you would probably do the same. We could both tell he was the Ichibi's jinjuriki, so I bet he could tell the same for us. But as for Shoko, there's a lot more that I'll need to explain to you Naruto." Hikari materialized a chair in front of her. "It's a long story"
