The three of them made it back to Konoha within the hour and made their way to the hokages office. When they stepped into the tower they met up with Minato's secretary Hitomi Hyuga who looked up and smiled. "Welcome back Kushina-sama, Lord fourth should be free for a few more minutes before his next meeting."

The two redheads smiled as they walked past the woman and opened the office door to the sight of twelve Minato's running through the office with stacks of paperwork either going towards the filing cabinets or to a table where six more Minato's were signing/stamping said papers.

One of the blondes looked to them then called out to the original. "Hey boss! Your wife and daughter are back early with some kid unconscious on her back."

At that the original got up and replaced himself with another shadow clone before joining his wife and daughter at the door. "Let's go to the house, we can put the kid in bed while you two debrief with me."

The young hokage had a gut feeling that this was going to be very important information and his gut feelings haven't failed him a single time in his life.

(Scene change: Uzumaki-Namikaze clan compound)

Kushina laid the boy down in a guest bed and covered him up, while she did this Minato was looking at the kids face. 'He looks familiar but he couldn't be his kid could he? Is this kid why they needed to leave so quickly?'

Turning to Kushina he led her to the bedroom door but stopped when he noticed that Mito wasn't following. "Mito, aren't you coming?"

The girl shook her head in the negative and spoke without looking away from the boy. "No sir tou-san, I'm going to stay here just in case he wakes up and needs something."

The young hokage just nodded and led his wife away.

(In Naruto's mindscape)

The blonde stood within a hallway with seven different doors on his left side, four on the right side, and at the very end of the hallway was a single door marked memories.

The four doors on his right all had chains on them and had bolt locks to keep them closed while six of the seven on his left were locked the seventh was unlocked but closed. The unlocked one was crimson red, with a demonic visage burned into it that he knew well.

The blonde looked at it for a while then spoke aloud. "Wrath, I know that you can hear me so listen closely. Now that you can no longer control me I will be training with your power and when my mental training has gone far enough I'll learn to use your siblings powers as well because I don't know how or when but I know you will get free and on my parents I swear I'll not only stop you but destroy you."

He felt the pulse of power from behind the door and heard the laughter that had taunted him for two years. "Laugh while you can, you'll see how big of a mistake you've made sooner or later."

(Scene change: real world)

Naruto awoke to the feeling of a soft bed and covers, as he slowly opened his eyes he saw the redhead from the cave that had taken on the full force of his amplified rage to save him. This girl had done something so huge for a complete stranger out of the kindness of her heart that no other human being would ever do and it made him smile as he tried to sit up but she gently pushed him back down.

As she did so she spoke. "Easy there, you've been through a lot in the past two years to put it mildly so you'll need to stay in bed until you've been cleared for any kind of movement by a trained medical ninja."

Naruto just allowed for her to keep him in bed instead of fighting it. "Thank you, if not for you I'd still be in the clutches of Wrath doing who knows what in order to set him and his siblings free."

Mito blushed at his praise and attempted to wave it off. "It was nothing, I was just doing what anyone else would have done and was helping someone in need. You're plea for help within your mindscape was so full of desperation and fear that I couldn't leave you to that."

At this both Minato and Kushina walked in. The fourth hokage smiled warmly as he spoke. "Hello there, I'm Minato Namikaze, could I get your name please?"

Naruto looked to the tall man that just walked in and nodded. "Naruto Kage."

The Namikaze smiled even wider. "You wouldn't happen to be the son of Kurosuke Kage would you?"

This had the effect of having Naruto bow his head in sadness. "Yes, he was my father."

Kushina hit Minato with a frying pan that seemed to come from nowhere. "You baka! How could you just bring him up like that?! This poor boy lost everything in a single day and spent two years trapped in his own mind with the memory of it! I literally just got done telling you this!"

Minato rubbed his head a little in pain and moved over to the younger blondes side. "I knew your father when we were younger, he was a great shinobi before he retired to leave the village."

Naruto looked over to the man with a bit of curiosity. "You knew my dad?"

The young hokage nodded. "That's right, he had a compound here where he left all of his clans scrolls, books, and other such things for just in case you ever chose to be a shinobi, he'd always said that he would give you the choice around your eighth birthday due to that being the time people usually go to the academy."

This got the boy thinking. 'If my father's clan had a compound full of knowledge then they'd most likely have ways to control the power of this cursed bloodline, techniques that they've created, refined, and mastered over the years, and maybe even mental training specifically made for this stuff. I have to at least try.'

With his mind made up Naruto slowly sat up and as he was attempting to move his legs off of the side of the bed Kushina stopped him by laying him back down. "You can't get up yet sweetheart, you haven't eaten a single thing in two years, your body is weakened from under usage, and many more things. Any normal child would have died but because of the demon chakra that was flowing through you you survived it and would have continued to survive until Wrath eventually released his hold on you to return to his own body. You're going to stay in bed until a trained medical ninja has said otherwise."

Not seeing any other choice but to listen the eight year old nodded and gave in.

(Time skip:2 years)

For the first month Naruto was forced to stay in bed where he was fed small amounts of food frequently with some odd medication that would 'promote weight gain' as the medical ninja had explained it. While it was painfully boring it hadn't been all bad, Kushina taught him everything that the other kids his age had learned by now, Mito Introduced all of her friends to him and kept him company when she could, and Minato would tell him stories about his father. (Unfortunately he didn't know his mother personally so he didn't have anything to tell him about her) The worst part was going to sleep at night because the other sins would whisper in his 'ear' many things from promises of power, money, and any number of things to promises of unimaginable pain and suffering.

When he was finally cleared to begin moving again he was put in a wheelchair and brought to a room made specifically for him so he can regain all of his lost muscles.

It took the next month for the blonde to regain full bodily functions then he started training his body to catch up to Mito in her physical training.

For the rest of the first year he'd made amazing progress in both physical and mental training along with reading through his clan's library, reading about how his clan got their abilities, how they learned to control them, and he even learned the most basic of techniques from the wrath scrolls called Wrath's gift which allows the user to channel the anger of others to enhance their own speed, strength, and more.

Within the second year he unlocked his own chakra and began training to control it with the other clan heirs. While he was doing this Minato had made the Kage clan be officially recognized as a 'revived' clan so that Naruto could access all of his inheritance as soon as he was old enough.

Now Naruto was standing outside of the hokage mansion in a pair of blue jean shorts, a grey t-shirt, and a pair of black ninja sandals with his book bag over his shoulder and a kunai holster/shuriken pouch on his waist. He was waiting for Mito so they could go to the academy together.

Thinking about his life so far the boy smiled. 'If not for her I'd have been forced to release the seven deadly sins upon the entire world destroying civilization as we know it or if I somehow saved myself I'd be alone in the world. I'm glad she found me.'

He was brought out of his thoughts by a light punch to his shoulder by the very girl he was thinking about. "Hey, what 'ya smiling for blondie?"

Looking at Mito he saw that she'd chosen to dress in a similar fashion as him but her blue jeans weren't in shorts form, her sandals were blue, and her T-shirt was red along with her hair being tied into pigtails.

Smirking as he shrugged he spoke. "Oh nothing much, just about how I'm so going to be rookie of the year for the next two years instead of you tomato."

At the sound of the nickname she started chasing him as he ran away laughing. "COME BACK HERE AND TAKE YOUR BEATING LIKE A MAN!"

Kushina and Minato smiled from the front door as they watched the two ten year olds run down the street. "They are so cute together don't you think Minato?"

The blonde hokage nodded. "Yes I do, if they decide that they wish to be together when they're older I'd have no complaints."

At this though the man does stop to think. "Though for the last two years I've noticed something odd about his chakra, it has a hint of coldness like how the second hokages scroll on the reaper death seal said the shinigamis presence would feel."

Kushina thought that this was odd as well but shrugged it off. "Maybe it's related to the cursed bloodline, an ability he has yet to unlock."

Deciding it wasn't important at the moment Minato chose to go with his wife on this one, after all she was usually spot on with her first guess. After kissing Kushina goodbye the older blonde left for his office, he had a lot of paperwork to finish before his first meeting of the day.

AN: hello and welcome to the newest chapter of the cursed seven, I do hope that you've enjoyed it.

What could that cold feeling have been? What could be behind the four securely locked doors in our favorite blondes mindscape? I'll give you two hints, they are connected and they aren't connected to the seven deadly sins… or not in the traditional sense.

Now I would like to give a HUGE shout-out to Antex- The Legendary Zoroark for all of the help he's given me in deciding on the powers for the sins. I bet you will find out what's behind the doors before they're ever officially shown.

Now for the summary on the only OC so far that's still alive.

Hitomi Hyuga: Mother of Neji Hyuga and wife of Hizashi Hyuga. Jounin level skill in her clans gentle fist, creator of the more fluid version of her taijutsu, and the last person to train under Tsunade Senju before she left the village.

And as always MCL homies.
