"Naruto," Mitsuki said as she crouched down in front of the kid. Naruto looked up from his toys and looked at the women who adopted him in confusion. "I need you to follow the rules that Tsume has in her house. Alright?"

"Yes mama," Naruto said while looking down at his feet. Mitsuki frowned and sighed. She really didn't want to leave and she even brought it up with Hiruzen-sensei, but he said that she had no say in the matter. The Kazekage had chosen her specifically and would not budge when asked if they could send someone else. For some reason, he only wanted her. Mitsuki was scared due to the fact that it isn't a well known secret anymore that she was taking care of the 'Nine-Tailed Demon Brat' and it could end up all the way to Water Country with how much gossip travels.

"Sweetie." Naruto looked up when Mitsuki put her hand under his chin and lifted his head up. "I would love to take you or stay here with you, but Lord Third said that I had no choice."

"But you're my mommy! What if you end up leaving me?" Naruto cried and flung himself into his mother. "You could get hurt or you could find someone else and get rid of me!"

"Naru-Naru!" Mitsuki took Naruto's arms and looked at him in the eyes. "I would never leave you willingly! Besides, Kakashi is going to be with me, as well as Guy. So I have strong people protecting me. I promise it'll only be for five days."

"P-promise...?"

"I promise, and I'll bring you and your friends some souvenirs." Naruto sniffed and buried his face into her chest. The older women just stroked the blonde's hair and hugged him closer.

During this interaction, Kakashi and Guy appeared at the door way and looked on with sadness in their eyes. How could someone mistreat a child so badly that he has seperation anxiety from the one person who actually treated him like he was worth something. Sure, Lord Third treated him kindly but he couldn't take care of the child himself and had misguided trust in Konoha's orphanage.

"Mom?" Both of the emotional people looked up and saw the two teens standing at the doorway. Naruto grabbed at his mother's clothes and refused to let go. Mitsuki sighed and picked him up.

"I'll take him to Tsume." The two males nodded and grabbed the luggage. Kakashi locked the door behind him and stared at Naruto, who had his head on Mitsuki's with tears streaming down his face. The grey-haired shinobi's heart broke for his younger brother. He wished that he could take the child with him or sneak him into Suna with them.

"Don't worry my youthful rival!" Guy exclaimed, quietly so that he won't startle Naruto. "Naruto will have a great time at Tsume-sensei's that he will be feeling better in no time!"

"I hope," Kakashi sighed and walked with them.

...

"I l-love you m-mommy...!" Naruto sobbed as Tsume held the struggling boy. The young boy was trying to grab his mom and Mitsuki's heart broke in response.

"I love you too sweetie, and I promise that I will come back." Naruto nodded with snot and tears running down his face, but stopped struggling. He waved sadly at her when Mitsuki walked away and away from him and Tsume.

"Come on Naruto," Tsume said softly. Unfortunetly, the blonde just laid his head on the older women's shoulder and said nothing. Tsume looked at the child sadly and walked inside her house.

"Mom...?" Mitsuki looked up and raised an eyebrow at Kakashi.

"Yes...?"

"Do you think Naruto will be okay?" Mitsuki sighed sadly and took her eldest son's hand into her hand.

"As much as it pains me to leave him, I had to do it sometime. How can Naruto become a shinobi if he can't separate himself from me? The poor boy has gone through so much in his few years of life and it reminds me of how scared I was when my brother's left me." She sighed again. "I want to find a way in order to calm him and reassure him that I'll be safe."

"Was I like that...?"

"Not as extreme as Naruto's reaction. Also, you had Minato and Kushina to watch you and Urushihara would comfort him."

"Yeah," Kakashi chuckled. "I think he was scared of me."

"We adopted you right after we got married." Mitsuki smiled. "You would never go to him and always clung to me. Probably because..."

Kakashi nodded and looked down sadly. He pushed Urushihara away because he was scared of losing someone who was like another father to him, and when he did try to get close to the man Orochimaru took him from them. That is one of the things he will always regret, so he promises that he will make sure to make time for his little brother.

"Lady Mitsuki," Guy interrupted their melancholy thinking. "What do you think the Fourth Kazekage wants from you?"

"Knowing those from Suna...They either want to negotiate the peace treaty or something about the tailed beasts."

"Wouldn't they send for the Hokage for the treaties, and why would they talk to you about the tailed demons?" Kakashi asked his mother.

"We all know that gossip travels fast," Mitsuki explained in annoyance. "They might not have told them Naruto's name, but they know that he was adopted."

"But by you?"

"We all know that I am not a true citizen of Konoha and therefore they are able to reveal my name to the surrounding public." Kakashi sighed and shook his head. There are loopholes regarding Konoha citizenship and since his mother was not born in Konoha, her name is not kept secret by others. As well as her being the daughter of the daimyo it is just a recipe for disaster.

"Do you really think that this is a good idea then?" Guy asked. Mitsuki shook her head and they walked in silence for the rest of the day.

"I hate walking in sand," Mitsuki complained as her foot sunk down in the sand every time she took a step. The two teens nodded in agreement and Kakashi wiped the sweat off his brow. Traveling in Suna was always a hassle for the young princess and she would rather be walking in the Land of Snow then Suna.

Once the trio got to the gates and showed them their passports. The two guards at the gate just gave them a dirty look and let the trio in. Mitsuki just rolled her eyes and walked towards the building where the Kazekage's office is located at. She also held her head up high and stared straight away when the other Suna residents either avoided them or glared at them.

When they got to the Kazekage's office they were greeted with two guards standing in front of the office doors. "We are here because the Kazekage has summoned me."

The guard on the left just nodded and entered the Kazekage's office once he announced his presence. When the guard returned from the office he nodded towards the other guard. They both moved out of the way and opened the doors for the trio. The older women nodded towards the two guards and entered.

When Mitsuki entered the room she noticed that their were three young children, around Naruto's age, standing in front of the Kazekage's desk. The Kazekage himself was glaring at the red haired child while ignoring the other two. Once he noticed Mitsuki he put on the most fake smile he could muster and motioned for her to come closer. She did, but her eyes were focused on the three children in front of her.

"Princess Mitsuki," The Forth Kazekage, Rasa, greeted. "Youngest daughter of the damiyo of Fire Country. Children, greet Princess Mitsuki."

The three children bowed in unison, the youngest one a little late because he was too busy staring at her with his teddy bear in his arms. The young boy looked hesitant and scared. Just like her Naruto was when she first met him.

Mitsuki bowed in response and then stared at Rasa in annoyance. "Cut to the chase Kazekage."

His lips pursed in annoyance and then glared at his children. "I heard from the grapevine that you have acquired a jinchuriki child."

"What of it?"

"As much as the council hates it," Rasa sighed. "I want to give you my child."

Mitsuki stared at Rasa in shocked as the three young children started protesting. Well, the two oldest children did while the red haired one started crying and a caretaker came running to calm the young boy.

"Enough," Rasa snapped and everyone in the room immediately quieted down. "My decision is final and Gaara will be going with Princess Mitsuki."

"Why?" Mitsuki snapped and walked towards Rasa in order to intimidate him. "You are a father aren't you? No father should ever give their children up without a reason."

"I can't control him!"

"He is a child! One should not treat them as an object!"

"You control one!"

"I don't control my son!" Mitsuki snapped. "He needed someone to care about him and obviously you don't care about any of your children!"

"Why should I?" Rasa asked. "I can always make more if I wanted to."

Everyone in the room stared at Rasa in shock. Mitsuki glared at the man in distain. "Obviously, you do not care about any of your children. So you don't mind if I take all three."

"Go ahead. Maybe the next batch won't be a disappointment." With that, Rasa waved his hand and that made the guards removed everyone in the room. Mitsuki took a deep breath in order to compose herself and then turned towards the trio of children. Her heart broke in response because all three of the young children were crying in response.

She got down on her knees and sighed. "I am so sorry that happened."

The oldest child, the blond female tried to wipe her tears away from her eyes. "I-it's okay...He's always like t-that."

"Would you three like to come with me?" Mitsuki asked gently. "I have two sons and one of them is around your age. I know this is you home, but I will treat your well."

"But whata 'bout Gaara!" The brown haired one cried and pointed towards the child, Gaara, who held the bear. "He 'as a monster in 'im!"

The blond girl nodded and pointed at her younger brother. "No one likes him 'cause he's dangerous!"

"Are prison guards monsters and dangerous?" Mitsuki asked. The two children shook their head. "So what makes Gaara dangerous? He's a prison guard and he's keeping you all safe from the monster he is guarding. In a way, he is stronger then everyone here."

"But sometimes the monster comes out!" The blond shouted.

"The only way for the monster to be kept fully at bay, then one must love the prison guard. Love counteracts the hate that the monster produces."

"So...," the brown haired boy whispered. "If we love Gaara then we will be safe?"

Mitsuki nodded and motioned Gaara over to him. The boy hesitated and looked at their caretaker with curiosity, and when the caretaker nodded he walked towards the princess of Fire Country. He looked up at her and blushed shyly when she smiled softly at him.

"You are not a monster Gaara. You are a hero." Gaara smiled with his reddened cheeks and held out his bear towards Mitsuki.

"W-would you like to hold him...?" She nodded and gently took the bear from the boy. "W-what is the name of the boy who is the same as me...?"

"His name is Naruto." Gaara nodded happily. Maybe he can finally get a friend. "He is about your age and I bet you two will be good friends."

"Can we come...?" Mitsuki looked up and saw the blond girl looking at her timidly. "Kankuro and Uncle Yashamaru as well as me!"

"Well... You can if you tell me your name sweetheart." The blond girl looked at her with a confident posture and told Mitsuki that her name was Temari. SHe also explained that she is the oldest and will become a powerful shinobi.

"That sounds like a noble goal." Temari smiled at her. "I will support you."

"I wanna be a shinobi too!" The brown haired child, Kankuro, exclaimed. "I wanna be a puppet master!"

"Oooh. That sounds impressive." Kankuro blushed and smiled shyly. "You must be very talented."

...

All three of the siblings seemed to take a liking to Mitsuki and tried to impress the women, observed Yashamaru from the sidelines. Gaara seemed as happy with her as he did with him while Temari and Kankuro enjoyed the praise she gave them about their abilities.

"Their father never paid them any attention, did he...?" Yashamaru jumped and saw a silver haired shinobi with his face and one eye being covered. Yashamaru shook his head hesitantly and continued watching the interaction between the children. He smiled against his wishes however. His sister should be the one in this situation. The one taking care of her beloved children. If it wasn't for...

"Excuse me... Princess Mitsuki...?" Yashamaru asked hesitantly. She looked up and looked right at the man. "May I talk to you in private?"

All three of the children (more Kankuro and Temari than Gaara) complained and whined. "Don't whine sweeties. I just need to talk to...Yashamaru was it?"

He nodded and she followed him towards a connecting hallway. Once they got there Yashamaru made sure that there was no one was around them. Mitsuki just watched him without so much as a thought because she knew what Suna was like. They were more paranoid than Danzo on a bad day. When Yashamaru was done with his little investigation Mitsuki just waited for Yashamaru to explain to her why he wanted to talk to her.

"Are you planning on using the children as weapons?" Was all Yashamaru asked. She raised an eyebrow at that but shook her head no.

"Both of my sons have had abilities that could be used as weapons and have been ostracized by others. It breaks my heart because my youngest is scared for me to leave him because he thinks that I'll leave him. Why would I do that to three other children?"

That seemed to satisfy Yashamaru and he asked her if he could come with her. "I can get my own place and fine a job, but I want to be with my sister's children."

Mitsuki stared at him while she thought about it. He seemed to be very genuine in his concern and that seemed to be enough for the daughter of the daimyo. She told him that he can stay at her play until he bought a house in Konoha, but it will be difficult due to the fact that he was an adult. It was easier for children to move to different village, but in terms of adults it was difficult because they knew things about the village.

"Also given the fact that you are the Kazekage's brother-in-law is going to be very bad for you."

"He doesn't care. He only thought of me as a caretaker for Gaara."

"Then we are leaving in four days. Get ready." With that, Mitsuki turned around and left Yashamaru alone in the hallway.
