Hey there! Kog6943 again. Chapter 2 is now up! That's a whole chapter and a half further than i expected this story to go when I first started. But surprisingly enough, I kind of like writing this. After I finished writing for the day yesterday, I had a bunch of ideas I really wanted to try out. They range from how I want this story to go, to where I want it to go. I just hope I can pull it all off well enough... But anyways,
JCB72: Yes, this will be a neglect fic. Probably not one of those extreme, parent hates the kid king of fic, but neglect.
UzumakiBattleWolf: How I would pull it for where it makes sense for them to neglect Naruto stumped me for a bit. But earlier today, I got an idea that I really like. I don't think I've read it in a story before, but it gets hard to remember everything I've read once in a while.
But on with the story!
I don't own Naruto, Kingdom Hearts or anything else, I'm just a broke college student...

Stage in Front of Administrative Building (The Next Day)
The survivors of the Kyūbi attack were gathered before the stage that gets set up whenever there are village wide announcements. They knew that this must have something to do with the Kyūbi, hopefully it will be the confirmation from the Fourth Hokage that he has killed the demon. There were a mix of shinobi and civilians in front of the stage, all waiting for the announcement.
On the stage were the important individuals of the village. This included the clan heads, the elders, the ANBU commander, the head of the hospital, the jounin commander, the head of TI, and anyone else that was a vital part of the village. What really surprised people was the fact that someone who hadn't set foot in the village in years was up there as well. Tsunade of the Sanin and her apprentice, Shizune. They were the only two who did not look even slightly curious about what was going on.
Up front in the crowd were the younger generation of Ninja. Two of them stood out more than the rest due to the shouting of one of them.
Shooting the shouting duo annoyed glances from nearby was a pretty teenage girl with black hair and red eyes. Her outfit consisted of a red top and the standard ANBU style shinobi pants that was held to her legs using bandages. She wore black open-toed sandals and had red lipstick on. Her hair framed her head and went past her shoulders. On her forehead was a Konoha forehead protector. Her beauty was only marginally marred by the disapproving frown they gave the two. "After all that has happened last night, I don't understand how they can act like everything is normal." This was directed to the boy standing next to her.
The teen next to her was also a shinobi based on his outfit. He wore the standard Konoha shinobi garb, consisting of the black ANBU style pants and shirt, but instead of wearing the armor, he chose to wear his flak jacket. He had on blue on blue open-toed sandals. He had short, spiky black hair and brown eyes. His skin was a tan color. On his head was another forehead protector. "To each his own, Kurenai. Some people try and cope by trying to act normal. If you looked closer, you would see that Gai's smile isn't as bright, and Kakashi is actually on time. That alone screams something is wrong…"
"*sigh* You're right...and I shouldn't push my bad mood onto others…Speaking of which…" She turned to the taller boy. "I'm sorry about my mood right now, Asuma…I'm just mad my dad sealed us in that barrier and then went off to…" Here she broke off with tears in her eyes.
Asuma, seeing this, wrapped an arm around her to give her a reassuring hug. "It's fine. Don't worry about it. I'm also mad my dad gave that order and then went and kicked the bucket before I could yell at him for it…" He tried to make things humorous, even if it was morbid, but his pained smile showed how he was truly feeling about it all
Kurenai also noticed how he was feeling, and returned the hug with a small smile.
Over with the Yelling
The one who was shouting was wearing an unusual choice of clothing. It was a green jumpsuit with orange leg warmers. He also wore the typical blue open-toed sandals. His hands were wrapped in bandages and he wore his Konoha headband as a belt instead of on his head. He had black hair and black eyes, with his hair done in a bowl cut. The only thing that was potentially more eye-catching than his jumpsuit were his eyebrows, which were inches thick. He was currently screaming at the top of his lungs to the teen next to him. "YOOOOOSSSSHHH! KAKASHI, MY HIP RIVAL, WHAT DO YOU THINK THIS YOUTHFUL GATHERING IS ABOUT?!"
The teen next to him was far more normal looking, or as normal as a teen with gravity defying silver hair could look. He was wearing the standard ANBU style outfit, complete with the body armor and arm guards. The only unique parts of his outfit were the mask that covered the lower portion of his face and his forehead protector being slanted to cover his left eye. His eyes were a dark grey color. He seemingly had a disinterested look on his face, but if one was to look closer, you could see he was constantly aware of his surroundings. "Hmmm? Did you say something, Gai?" Kakashi slid his gaze over to the teen next to him.
"OH, YOUR HIP ATTITUDE IS GETTING WORSE, MY RIVAL. IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL, IT WILL COMPLETELY SNUFF OUT YOUR FLAMES OF YOUTH AND THEN-"
At this point, Kakashi zoned back out. It took too much effort to listen to Gai's talking 24/7, so he didn't. 'This is part of the reason why I don't show up early to things. Then I have to wait…maybe I should look into finding a book to read in my spare time…' His mind went to his teacher, and wondered how the delivery went if the outcome was the release of the Kyūbi. He cut his eyes back over to his "rival" and cut him off. "Gai," At hearing the tone of his voice, Gai instantly stopped talking and took on a serious look. When Kakashi talks like that, it was time to be serious. "This is obviously about the Kyūbi, but what do you think happened to it after the Fourth transported it last night?"
Gai considered the question, and responded with "Unlike most of these people, we know you cannot kill a bijū, only seal it away. And a bijū as strong as the Kyūbi cannot be held in a typical paper seal, it would need a constant source of chakra to sustain a seal strong enough to hold it. And that would mean…" He trailed off.
Kakashi nodded at this, his own thoughts leading to such a conclusion. "A jinchuriki." Gai nodded along with Kakashi. "That would probably be what this is about. Minato-sensei is probably going to release the information voluntarily to control the response of the village. Otherwise, the backlash could really get out of hand…" It was then that Kushina and Minato walked up onto the stage, with Kushina carrying two bundles, and Minato carrying one.
Up on the Stage
Minato was incredibly nervous, if not done correctly, then he could potentially be about to ruin the lives of his children, but if he didn't then it would be a lot worse. Knowing this, the only course of action he could take was to be open with what transpired the previous night, and reassure the village to control the reactions.
He raised his hand to call for silence, and it was quickly given to him. Many people were shooting curious glances to the bundles in his and Kushina's arms. "People of Konoha!" He began, "As you all know, last night, our village was the victim of a vicious and critical strike against it. Last night, the Kyūbi no Kitsune attacked us!" At the reminder, many people began took on angered expressions, no doubt reliving the events of the night before.
"Many lives were lost in the battle. Some died in the fires, some died being crushed, and some died heroically, giving their lives for their village. Let us all take a moment to honor those who have passed." With that, he looked down and closed his eyes, the others on the stage swiftly following his lead. Seeing this, the villagers did the same.
After the moment of silence, Minato looked back up. "Thank you. This village wide gathering is being held in order to tell you the outcome of the battle, and the fate of the bijū." At this admission, the village quickly paid their undivided attention to their Hokage, anticipating the moment when the death of the Kyūbi no Kitsune would be confirmed to them. So far, no one has been notified as to what happened to the giant fox.
"We do not know how it got here, and are looking into that…" 'Lies' he thought to himself, "but we know what happened to it at the end of the night. Let me tell you now, the Kyūbi no Kitsune is not dead." He paused as he heard a great amount of startled gasps ring out throughout the mass of people before him. He started to hear murmuring of discontent begin to rise so he quickly began talking again.
"Please, let me finish!" After ensuring silence again, Minato continued with what he had been saying. He of course could not tell the true story to the village, but an altered one would due. But it would not fool some people, who were naturally suspicious or too smart for their own good. A certain Nara jounin commander and an old war hawk came to mind… "Last night when I joined the battle, I quickly regrouped with Hiruzen-sama, and together we devised a plan to defeat the Kyūbi."
This confused many people, as they were just told that the Kyūbi was not dead, so how was it defeated then if it wasn't killed? "We both knew that you could not kill a bijū, for it would only reform at a later time if you somehow to actually manage to overpower it and destroy its body. But we knew another way to defeat it. And it was possible to be done because we both had the necessary knowledge on seals and we knew a technique that would allow us to implement it on such short notice…" He paused, making sure that people were paying attention.
Back with Kakashi and Gai
"Kakashi…" Gai murmured to his companion. "Is he talking about…?" He trailed off, not needing to finish his question as he knew Kakashi would know what he was asking.
Kakashi nodded his head, albeit hesitantly. "Yeah, we were right… he is going to tell the village about the jinchuriki, whoever it is…" His mind was whirring with thoughts, trying to make connections on who it could be. While he wasn't a Nara, he was certainly as smart as one.
"*sigh* So it was true…While I cannot claim it to be a youthful outcome, I know it was needed." Gai truly didn't like the idea that someone was about to be called out on having the beast that just destroyed a portion of the village and killed many. Although he acted like an idiot, Gai was by no means stupid. He knew it was very likely that this could go very bad and ruin the life of the person who just became a jinchuriki.
The two of them turned their attention back over to their Hokage when he began to speak again.
Back on Stage
Minato continued talking, "There is a method of sealing that is fairly well known, that allows a bijū to be sealed away. Now this is no ordinary method, as given enough time, a bijū as strong as the Kyūbi no Kitsune would be able to break free from the confines of a typical scroll." The crowd was growing increasingly curious as to what happened to the bijū that had ransacked their home. "The seal would need a constant source of chakra to be able to maintain the power needed to hold the Kyūbi." He cut off again, as he saw some people begin to catch on and begin to frown. Whether this frown was due to them thinking hard, disapproval at forcing the Kyūbi on someone, or out of anger, was yet to be seen.
Minato pushed on with what he was saying. "I can see that some of you are beginning to catch on to what I am saying… It would be very unwise and impractical to seal it in some kind of scroll and have someone supply a constant flow of chakra…So we needed to directly hook the seal to the source…" He paused again. He was growing increasingly nervous. "This means we needed to seal the Kyūbi no Kitsune inside someone so they could supply the chakra." Startled gasps rang through the audience again at this revelation. "We created a jinchuriki at the cost of Hiruzen-sama's life."
Before they could begin to form a response, Minato continued. "We decided that instead of using the traditional approach of sealing a bijū into a single person with all of the power that comes with it, to split it up. We split the Kyūbi into three parts, the yin chakra, the yang chakra, and lastly the soul. This way, the chakra would be easier to control, and the soul would have a harder time influencing the parts of its chakra." He nodded to Kushina. Seeing this she stepped forward.
Her face was set into a nervous frown at what was about to be exposed. "It is much easier to use a baby in the procedure as their chakra coils have yet to be developed, and will grow accustomed to the strain of having the bijū chakra flood their children. And as horrible as it is, the younger the better…" He took a deep breath. "Last night, a set of triplets were born, and they were used in the ritual." The muttering of the crowd was starting up again, and they didn't sound too happy. Continuing, Minato motioned to the first bundle in Kushina's arms.
"This is Narumi, the middle child, Hiruzen-sama sealed the yin half of the Kyūbi's chakra into her." He then motioned to the other bundle in his wife's arms. "And this is Menma, the youngest and jinchuriki of the yang half of the Kyūbi." Finally, he looked down, at the napping baby in his arms. "And lastly, this is Naruto, the container of the Kyūbi's soul and the oldest child." He let out small smile as baby Naruto let out a cute yawn and woke up due to all the talking going on.
Looking back up, Minato continued with what he had been saying. "The three of them have been made into the jinchurikies of the Kyūbi no Kitsune in the hopes that when the younger two are older, they will learn to use that power, and with it, grow to be both splendid shinobi, and wonderful people. It is my hope that the Will of Fire will burn bright in them…" Before he could say anymore, he was cut off by an angry shout.
"That's impossible!" He wasn't sure who had said this, but the feelings of raw anger and hatred was clear in the voice. Out of the corner of his eye, Minato saw that Kushina had tensed. He wanted to retort but another voice called out, followed quickly by more after that.
"That's right, they're demons!"
"They will only bring us more misfortune!"
"I can't feel easy knowing my children will forever be in danger!" This shout quickly caused more supporters to rise. And the shouting grew. Minato had half a mind to call upon the ANBU hidden throughout the area to subdue the people who were causing the small uprising. It went on until a specific shout was heard…
"WE SHOULD JUST KILL THEM OFF NOW, BEFORE THEY CAN KILL US!" This shout caused Minato's temper to temporarily snap.
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Seeing their normally calm and friendly Hokage snap shocked them to silence, and made some of them realize that they had jumped to conclusions.
"Do you really think that I would ever condone the killing murder of children regardless if they were a jinchuriki or not?! Of course I would never do such a thing! Never mind the fact that these three are my own children!" That revelation shocked them all to silence. The Fourth Hokage had children? Heck, who had he even had them with?! "Do you all not trust Hiruzen-sama or me?! We know what we are doing!"
Being directly questioned on their faith in the last two Hokages made some of them to look down in shame. Minato didn't give anyone a chance to defend themselves and pressed on with what he wished to say. "The seal is one of the strongest in the world! Created by the Shinigami himself! It is the entire reason Hiruzen-sama had to give his life last night, just to create it! The seal will allow the two younger ones, with the correct training, to control the Kyūbi's power! It will be all the easier as the oldest one is the holder of the soul." Many of the shinobi looked intrigued at this prospect, as they knew such a thing would help Konoha, but they were quickly chastised by Minato's next words.
"But do not forget! They. Are. Children. They are not the Kyūbi, They are not weapons or tools." Behind him, a certain war hawk narrowed his eye slightly and let out an internal scoff at such a ridiculous notion. "Treat them like you would like any other child, for that is exactly what they are. If I even hear a vague rumor that there are frustrations at their mere continued existence, then I will bring down my entire wrath as both the Fourth Hokage…" Here, he looked at his family again. "…and as a father. No one will be safe from me. Is that understood?"
Kushina decided this was the right time to finally speak up. "And as their mother, no one would be able to save you from me. You could run, but I will find you. You better learn how to look behind your back while you walk, because I will put a kunai in it-ttebane." Minato nodded at her words. His cold eyes looked back up to his villagers, and was pleased to see that the majority of them accepted his words. Furthermore, as far as he could tell, those who did not take his words to heart only appeared hesitant to. He knew that these people would come around given the right amount of time for their wounds from last night to heal.
Then he heard something he did not quite expect. A clap. Then another, and another. Soon, what was one quickly multiplied into many. Cheers soon followed.

"I never doubted you!"
"The Will of Fire will burn!"
"For Konoha!"
"Na-Ru-To! Na-Ru-Mi! Men-Ma!" They had even begun to chant the names of the youngest Uzumaki-Namikazes. But all of these cheers soon gave way to a single, unified one.
"FOURTH, FOURTH, FOURTH, FOURTH!" With their faith in their leader restored and reassurance that they and their families are safe, they were willing to at least give the benefit of the doubt for the new family.
Seeing this, a relieved smile was brought forth onto Minato's face. He was happy things had turned out well. He turned to smile at his wife and saw that she was crying out of relief and happiness. He smiled gently at her and used his free hand to lift her chin up and plant a loving kiss on her lips. This caused a new wave of cheers to run through the village. The two of them jerked back in surprise as they forgot where they were and instantly they blushed. But if you listened closely, you could faintly hear the sound of fangirls crying…
Turning to look at the people up there on the stage with him, he called out. "Council meeting in half an hour! Dismissed!" With that, he walked off the stage, Kushina, Tsunade, and Shizune following after him.
With Kakashi and Gai
"YOOOOSH! WHAT A YOUTHFUL RESULT! I CAN FEEL THE SHEER YOUTH OF IT ALL FANNING MY OWN FLAMES OF YOUTH! I NOW HAVE THE POWER TO RUN 500 LAPS AROUND THE VILLAGE NONSTOP!" Gai truly was relieved with the result of the announcement. He was worried at first, especially with the fact that a riot nearly started.
Next to him, Kakashi was smirking to himself, although it couldn't be seen due to his mask. He too was extremely pleased with the outcome of the gathering, and it showed by the fact he didn't zone out when Gai was speaking. In fact, he even responded with, "But Gai, we need to help repair the village. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can begin training." He didn't want to be useless if such a village-wide thing were to ever happen again.
Gai was surprised by this response, but quickly responded. "RIGHT YOU ARE MY RIVAL! WE SHOULD BEGIN RIGHT AWAY!" With that, he ran off. Kakashi was about to follow when he noticed his teacher about to leave the area and made to follow.
End Music
With Minato and the Others
"Minato-sensei!" Hearing this shout, Minato turned around to see his student.
"Kakashi! Glad to see you are alright." His relief was shown by the smile on his face when he saw who called out to him.
Kakashi nodded. "Yeah, they had the younger generation sealed up so we couldn't join the battle…" His scowl at the event was obvious even with the mask.
Minato had an apologetic smile. "Yes, I heard about that. But you understand why it was done, don't you?"
Kakashi sighed, but nodded his head. "I know, I know…" It was then that Kakashi got a look at the blue and violet eyes that were looking curiously at him. "So I see the delivery at least was a success…"
Minato was eager to start up this topic. He nodded his head and said, "Yes, it was. Naruto-kun, Narumi-chan, Menma-kun, meet your older brother, Kakashi!" Naruto giggled as his father lifted him up to greet Kakashi.
Kakashi on the other hand, grew flustered at how Minato had introduced him. "B-brother?!" But Minato only smiled while Kushina giggled. Shaking it off, Kakashi greeted the baby in front of him. "Ah…hello, pup."
Minato smiled at this, but frowned when an ANBU appeared and whispered in his ear. "Damn impatient council. Sorry Kakashi, but it looks like the council meeting will be starting sooner than expected…"
Kakashi nodded at this. "I understand, until next time." With those parting words, he disappeared in a swirl of wind and leaves. Seeing this, the remaining group continued on their way.
Council Room
The council room was similar in shape to the shinobi academy classroom, but more circular. There was a long desk in the front of the room, where the Hokage sat. And depending on what was going on, more desks could be set up as needed for those who would be joining.
In front of the Hokage's desk, were numerous other desks. Each row was elevated higher than the one in front of it, allowing everyone to see. There were seats already filled with the representatives needed. These representatives were the people who ran the village. The consisted of the clan heads, the division heads, the hospital head, the elders, and the civilian representative. Many of the clan heads were relatively knew at it, as they had only taken the position less than a decade ago.
In the Aburame seat was a man with short spiky black hair and a moustache. He wore a high-collared, tan jacket that was zipped up all the way and the hood was over his head. He, like all the other members of his clan, was wearing dark glasses that blocked people from seeing his eyes. His had a tassel hanging from one side. This man was the Aburame clan head, Shibi Aburame.
In the Akimichi seat, was another man with wild, long hair that was red. He was a bit on the plump side, but that only helped him uses his techniques. On his cheeks were purple markings, showing his membership of his clan. His outfit was reminiscent of a samurai. It was a black suit with armor that had the kanji for "food" on it. His choice for a belt was a rope. He wore handguards and a hachimaki as a replacement of his forehead protector. This was Chōza Akimichi.
The Hatake seat was vacant, as the heir, Kakashi, was a little too young to take it. And he wouldn't show up to the meeting anyway.
In the Hyūga clan seat was a stern looking man with long, brownish/black hair. As was typical with his clan, his eyes were a pupil-less lavender color. He wore a traditional, loose fitting robes that was complimented by a long sleeve haori that was brown. His face was set in a constant neutral look that was occasional replaced by a frown. This man was Hiashi Hyūga.
Sitting in the Inuzuka seat, was an animalistic looking woman. She had long, spiky, untamed brown hair, vertical slit-like pupils, elongated canine teeth and nails. She also has the clan fang markings on her cheeks as well as markings over her eyes and a dark shade of purple lipstick. She wears the standard outfit of a Konoha shinobi consisting of flak jacket and a black suit underneath with the sleeves rolled up and bandages around her legs. She is Tsume Inuzuka.
In the seat of the Kurama clan, was a man with long black hair and moustache. He also had light brown eyes. He wore a traditional robe, similar to the one that Hiashi was wearing, but in dark green colors with a brown haori over it. This man was Murakumo Kurama, clan head of the Kurama clan.
In the Nara seat, was a man that appeared to be taking a nap. He had two scars on the right side of his face, which drew attention at first. He had his dark hair tied up into a spiky ponytail, similar to a pineapple. On his chin, he had a small goatee forming. His ears were also pierced. He wore a mesh shirt under his flak jacket, and a deer skin coat on top of that. He wore standard ANBU pants and sandals. This man's name was Shikaku Nara. He was also the jounin commander.
The Sarutobi clan seat was vacant at the moment with the passing of Hiruzen. His son, Asuma would take the clan head position when he was older.
In the Senju clan seat sat Tsunade, who was currently drinking directly from a bottle of sake. She was also representing the hospital.
Sitting in the Uchiha clan seat and sending dark looks at Tsunade was a stern looking man with short black hair and onyx colored eyes. He had creases below his eyes that became more pronounced the more he frowned. He wore a simple kimono with grey pants that had the uchiwa on the back. This man is Fugaku Uchiha.
The Uzumaki clan seat was reserved for Kushina.
In the Yamanaka clan seat was a man who was sending amused glances at Shikaku. He had long ash blond hair reaching into his back, which he wore spiky on top and ending in a long ponytail, blue-green eyes and strong facial features, which included a well-defined jaw line. He wore a black outfit with the standard flak jacket over that. And he topped it with red haori that didn't have sleeves. He also wore hand-guards and his forehead protector. This man was known as Inoichi Yamanaka. He was also the TI head.
The civilian seat was taken by a successful merchant of the village. It was an elderly man, with black and grey hair around his head bald top. He has a small dot on his forehead, like the rest of the family members. He wears a three layered kimono, a light purple, then a cream-white, and lastly a dark purple. This man was Tōbei Kagetsu.
In the elder seats were three people who were known throughout the higher part of the village for always being willing to do what was needed for the village. The first was an elderly woman who had her hair pulled back into a twin bun that was held together with a traditional hairpin that had pearls hanging off of the side. She wore long earrings and a long kimono, closed by an obi, a jacket, and a sash over it. Her eyes were squinted, looking like they were closed. This is Koharu Utatane.
The next person is an elderly looking man with grey hair, a beard, glasses as well as a constant frown that he's always worn. He also has a strong jaw-line a facial structure he has retained even in his old age. He wore the same outfit as Koharu. This man is Homura Mitokado.
The final person in the room was arguably the most intimidating one. He was a frail looking elderly man who needed a cane to walk. He had black, shaggy hair, and his right eye was bandaged. He had an x-shaped scar on his chin. He had a white long sleeve shirt on, that was covered by a grey robe that only covered his right side, and went all the way to his feet. This was Danzō Shimura.
There was some idle chatter going on in the room that stopped once Minato and Kushina walked in. Minato handed Naruto over to Tsunade, who looked only slightly disgruntled at the action, while Kushina took Narumi and Menma with her to the Uzumaki seat. Once he got to his seat, Minato called the attention of the room. "Ok, I want to keep this short. If you have any questions, ask."
Immediately, Danzō shot his question. "Everyone in the room is aware that the Kyūbi no Kitsune was sealed into Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze, how did it break free?" He asked this with a blank look.
Minato's response was with an equally blank look. "Due to unforeseen events, the Kyūbi managed to escape."
"Care to elaborate?"
"No." Minato still was not sure if the masked man had help with this attack. And if he did, Danzō was pretty high up on his list of suspects. "Next question."
This time, Shikaku spoke up. "Was it truly wise to both split the Kyūbi and reveal to the village where it had gone?" Although phrased like one, it was not a real question, it was a test.
Minato knew this and smiled. Shikaku was an old friend who occasionally would try to make Minato second guess himself. Especially after Minato became Hokage. While this normally would be met with repercussions as it could be considered as disrespectful, Shikaku never took it too far and Minato knew he was only making sure that as Hokage, Minato was solid in his convictions. "Yes, it was. This way, the power is split and it can be put to better use. Furthermore, by taking away the soul, it will be easier to control." Minato reasoned. "And we needed to tell the village as they now knew the Kyūbi was within our walls and it would be better to try and control the response instead of people coming to their own conclusions.
Hearing this, Shikaku had a satisfied look on his face and relaxed once again to try and get some rest.
Minato looked around. "Anything else?"
Danzō decided to speak up again. "Yes, we should begin training as soon as possible. You should give them over to me. I will personally take care of it." This earned a heated glare from Kushina and a suspicious look from Tsunade.
Minato's expression though, turned sub-zero. "Danzō-san, as I have already said, they are still children, no matter the fact that they are jinchurikies. They will be treated as such. Leave their training to Kushina and I." He motioned to himself and his wife. Danzō's single eye narrowed further but he decided it was time to stay silent. "Anything else?" Not seeing anyone else about to speak up, Minato wrapped things up. "Dismissed."
As they made their way out, many people congratulated him and Kushina on the new family they had. Kushina and Tsunade made their way over to Minato. Once she was close enough, Tsunade handed Naruto back over to him. "So what now, brat?"
"Now, Kushina-chan and I finally go home and start our new family." The new parents smiled to each other, causing Tsunade to smile as well.
"Ok, I will swing by within the week to do the routine check up on the brats, then I will be able to tell you my decision on whether or not I will be staying in the village."
This earned surprised looks from the Kushina and Minato. "You mean you are considering staying?" Minato could not help the hopeful look that showed up on his face.
"Yes, considering. Nothing is for sure yet." With that, she smirked at the two and walked out.
Minato turned to Kushina, and bringing her into a one armed hug, asked her, "Well, Kushina-chan, are you ready for are family to go home together for the first time?"
Kushina sent a dazzling smile to Minato. "Hell yeah I am-ttebane!" That caused Minato to laugh and the two of them disappeared in a yellow flash, not seeing that they were being watched.
There we go! Chapter 2 is done! Last chapter I said I didn't know if I would continue past this point, but I already have ideas I'm excited to try out, so I will in fact continue this story. The only thing I am super iffy about is if I will add a pairing. I'm not a huge fan of NarutoxHinata, so if I do, then it probably won't be that.
I haven't started on the third chapter yet, but I will get on that tomorrow. As for when it will go up, weeellll, I did not even really expect to post two days in a row, so if I am super productive, then tomorrow. If not, then it won't.
And I'm not totally sure I pulled Gai and Kakashi off well enough. Gai especially, but hey, I'm trying. Same with Danzo.
