Chapter 35 -

Hiashi and Kikiyo had waited until the next day before they talked to Sarutobi. "I know you have been busy Hokage-sama but we have some matters to discuss." Hiashi stated as he and Kikiyo sat by Sarutobi's bed.

"What do you want to discuss Hiashi? I know you must be busy Kikiyo with all of those patients that overflowed into the Hyuuga compound. The village really does appreciate you allowing those people to recover inside your compound Hiashi." Sarutobi replied happily.

"Thank you Hokage-sama. We do what we can for the village. Now to the matters we need to discuss." Hiashi watched Sarutobi for a sign to continue. Sarutobi nodded. "First when we went to the hospital to help with evacuating patients and personnel there, we found several Sound shinobi abducting a couple women. These women were in a seldom used wing. The really strange thing is that both women were thought to be dead years ago. They both are apparently under a strong genjutsu." Hiashi stated.

"An unused portion of the hospital you say? I had nothing other than the usual high security wards in the hospital. I find it odd that people were in such an area. So don't leave me in suspense, who are they?" Sarutobi asked.

"Kushina Uzumaki and Mikoto Uchiha." Hiashi replied with a sour look on his face.

"I saw both of their bodies when they died." Sarutobi said as he rubbed the bridge of his nose. "What is their current condition?"

"Their bodies are mostly strong especially for being in a coma for years. There is also more disturbing news." Kikiyo replied.

"What could be more than disturbing than people who are supposed to be dead are found alive?" Sarutobi asked almost sure he did not want to hear what Kikiyo would have to say.

"They are both under a strong genjutsu. I am hoping Inoichi can break it. But really is disturbing is that both women were being prepped and appear to have been used as breeders. My guess is that they were hoping to use both women for their strengths, Mikoto for the Sharingan and Kushina for her massive chakra reserves. I feel that this was going to be a breeding program to mix the Uzumaki and Uchiha lines. To what end I do not know." Kikiyo replied.

"Since we can tell you were not behind this there is only a few people we could think of that would want to do this." Hiashi stated angrily.

"Danzou or the council could be behind this. Danzou may want to reestablish root, and the council for not wanting to wait for Sasuke to mature and then have children. This is very disturbing. I want only your clan, the Yaminaka and the boys to know about this. This will also give Naruto a reason to go meet with Tsunade. Do I make myself clear?" Sarutobi ordered.

"Yes Hokage, but when should we tell Naruto-san and Sasuke about their mothers?" Kikiyo asked.

"You can let Naruto know immediately if you like. I would like to wait on Sasuke until Tsunade or Inoichi can help them. Oh and tell Inoichi that he cannot tell his daughter about this." Sarutobi said sternly knowing that if Ino knew then the whole village would know.

"Hai!" Hiashi and Kikiyo both replied as they left.

--

"Inoichi please come with us if you would." Hiashi stated quietly as Inoichi answered the door to his house.

"Welcome Hiashi. What can I do for the Hyuuga today?" Inoichi asked loudly.

Hiashi nodded acknowledgement. "The Hokage needs your services as soon as possible." Hiashi replied loudly.

"It must be important for you to come. Honey I will be gone for a couple hours! I will see you at dinner tonight!" Inoichi yelled back into the house.

"Okay we will see you later sweetie!" A voice came from deeper in the house.

"Bye dad!" Ino's voice came from the deeper in the house.

"Bye princess! Okay I am ready to go." Inoichi said as he closed the door behind him.

All three quietly walked to the Hyuuga compound. They entered via the back gates and walked towards the infirmary. "Okay what is so important that you used the Hokage's name to get me here to your house Hiashi?" Inoichi asked pointedly.

"We must pick up Naruto-san on our way to our ultimate location. And the Hokage did authorize this little mission." Hiashi said with a furrowed brow.

Kikiyo poked her head into the room where Naruto, Yugito, Shinbo, and Neji all were laying on their beds. "Naruto-kun, Hinata-sama will you both please come with us. Hinata-sama can you help Naruto-kun?" Kikiyo asked politely.

Naruto shifted in his bed. He pulled his covers back with his left hand while he grimaced about having to move his broken right hand and arm. Hinata helped as much as she could. She helped steady him as he stood up. He wobbled as he stood and started to walk out of the room. "Thanks Hinata-chan, I think I am a little tipsy right now." Naruto commented with a slight blush.

"Nice shorts niisan!" Yugito said with a smirk as she pointed to the hole in Naruto's hospital gown.

Naruto chuckled as he leaned on Hinata as they walked out of the room.

"Hello Naruto-kun and Hinata-chan." Inoichi stated politely.

Naruto bowed his head. "Greetings Yamanaka-sama." Naruto returned the pleasantries.

"You will forgive me if I don't bow Yamanaka-sama, as I am helping Naruto-kun." Hinata said politely.

"Not a problem Hinata-chan. Now lead on Hiashi-san so we can get this over with." Inoichi sounded annoyed with Hiashi.

"No comments until we get into the next room." Hiashi said as he led them into the next room.

Inoichi gasps when he looked up after entering the room. He waited until the door closed before commenting. "When? How? Where did you find them?" Inoichi questioned.

"Who are they Hiashi-sama? I don't get it." Naruto said with a confused look on his face.

"Hinata make sure you have a good hold on Naruto-san." Hiashi warned Hinata. Hiashi walked over to the red headed woman and put his hand on her shoulder. "This Naruto is your mother."

Naruto heard nothing after those words. His feet fell out from underneath him, only Hinata was able to hold him up almost standing. She lowered him to nearly kneeling position. She looked into his eyes and saw him lost in thought as tears ran down his face. Hinata brushed his face to try to soothe his emotions. "It's okay Naruto-kun." She quietly whispered. Naruto didn't hear a word.

Inoichi looked at Naruto then back to Hiashi. "So what are Kushina and Mikoto doing here?" Inoichi asked.

"We found them when several Hyuuga and I went to evacuate the hospital. Several Sound shinobi were taking them from the hospital. We stopped them and then brought them here. They appear to be under a genjutsu, a powerful one. That is why we needed your help Inoichi. I talked to the Hokage and he assured me that if he would have known about them he would have done whatever it took to give Naruto his mother back. Our thinking is that it was Danzou." Hiashi said sadly.

Naruto slowly stood with the help of Hinata. Naruto stumbled towards Kushina's bed. Hinata set Naruto beside his mother. Naruto reached out with his good hand and stoked her face with the outside of his hand. "Mom…" Naruto just stared at her sleeping form. Hinata stayed close to Naruto and steadied him as his emotions finally came to the surface.

Inoichi stood at the base of the bed and made several hand signs. "Ninja art: Mind Exploration Jutsu."

--

Inoichi found himself surrounded by clouds. He heard soft whimpering as if someone was crying. Inoichi walked through the mist towards the crying. He saw Kushina crying in a cell that had a seal on the gate where a lock should be.

"Kushina is that you?" Inoichi asked kindly.

Frightened eyes shot at Inoichi. "Inoichi is that you? Where are my children? Where is Minato?" Kushina demanded franticly.

"Slow down Kushina, Naruto is fine. Now let's get you out of that cage and back to the real world." Inoichi said patiently as he broke the seal.

"Naruto? What about the others? And Minato?" Kushina asked as the world faded.

--

Kushina slowly opened her eyes as she felt a warm hand caressing her cheek. She saw a boy who looked almost exactly like Minato except for whisker marks and a young Hyuuga girl holding him up. She mouthed the word 'Minato?'

"Naruto-kun I think she is awake." The Hyuuga girl, Hinata, said to the boy whose eyes lightened up.

'Naruto-kun? How can he be so old? Were the others not just my imagination?' Kushina wondered to herself. She weakly raised her arms to enfold the boy, her Naruto-kun.

"Gently both of you, Kushina you have been in a coma for almost thirteen years. Also Naruto-san has a broken right arm." Hiashi told them both. Naruto nodded as he braced himself with his good arm and let his mother weakly hug him.

Inoichi scratched his head. "Hiashi we need to talk in private." Inoichi said as he motioned both Hiashi and Kikiyo to the back of the room. "Kushina was locked in a simple genjutsu but it would take an outside force for her to break it. She also mentioned other children. Do either of you know what she may be talking about." Inoichi quietly questioned.

"I don't know all I know is that they only had Naruto as a child." Hiashi replied.

"Who are they?" Kikiyo asked.

"This is an 'S' class secret and should not be told to others. Kushina was secretly married to Minato Namikaze the Fourth Hokage. So Kikiyo do you know anything about this?" Hiashi commented sternly.

Kikiyo nodded as she understood the meaning of secrecy. "My first examination of both Kushina and Mikoto were interesting to say the least. I have a couple of questions for you gentlemen before I tell you my findings." Kikiyo stated professionally as both men nodded. "How were their children delivered?"

"All three were delivered naturally. Why?" Hiashi replied as he looked at Inoichi who nodded his agreement.

"Well then we have a problem. Kushina seems to have had a couple of cesarean section operations, and Mikoto has had at least one. Both women were healed from this but I am not sure of how long ago it was. And thank you Inoichi for waking Kushina up. It will be a couple days before she will be able to speak unless you want to talk to her with your jutsu. She is weak and will take time to recover. I think she is strong enough for you to talk to her for a little bit at least. I am fairly sure that Mikoto is under the same jutsu as was Kushina and it should be easier to break as she has been under it for less time." Kikiyo replied.

"I will give her and Naruto a little time then I can talk with her. She may be able to shed some light on this whole situation. You said at least two C-sections?" Inoichi asked.

"Yes at least two." Kikiyo smiled weakly as she looked at the mother and son reunion.

"Naruto-kun, be careful you were hurt during the chunin exams and have not healed." Hinata scolded Naruto.

Kushina weakly smiled as Hinata and touched Hinata's leg. Kushina mouthed 'Thank you' to Hinata.

Hinata nodded and mouthed 'You are welcome'.

Naruto pushed himself up and looked into Kushina's eyes. "I missed you mom. I was afraid I was alone."

Hinata held back her tears as she put a reassuring hand on Naruto. "You have never been alone. I have always watched you, Naruto-kun. Now we have your mother back. This is a joyous day Naruto-kun." Hinata said smiling at both the Uzumaki in front of her.

"Okay this is getting too sappy even for me." Inoichi joked. "Kushina I need to enter your mind to talk to you, will you let me? Don't worry Naruto this will not hurt and I will not be long." Inoichi stated as Naruto nodded. Hinata helped Naruto into the chair next to Kushina's bed.

Inoichi made a couple hand signs, and then sat in a chair next to Kushina.

--

Kushina was sitting Indian style waiting for Inoichi as he showed up. "Okay spill it. What did Hiashi mean I was in a genjutsu induced coma for almost thirteen years?" Kushina asked angrily.

"Slow down Kushina. I know we both have questions and we both need answered. I will go first. It is good to see you after almost thirteen years. Your son has missed you as he was told you were dead." Inoichi said calmly.

"Dead? I have been alive for all this time and Minato and Sarutobi did not look for me?" Kushina asked incredulously.

"Minato died the day the Kyuubi attacked. He sealed it in Naruto and died as a result. I am sorry." Inoichi said with his head lowered. "Sarutobi saw your dead body and did not question it at the time. So we all believed you were dead for all this time."

"I see Naruto has grown into a fine young man and who is the Hyuuga girl with him? And where are my girls both my girls?" Kushina asked.

"We only know of you having Naruto. And with Minato being dead since his the day of his birth we are not sure how you would know you had more children." Inoichi shook his head.

"I met my two girls and Naruto. I know each time I made love to Minato and the times I gave birth to each and every one of them. It was several years ago that I gave birth Yuki and a few years ago I gave birth to Yoshiko." Kushina smiled as she remembered fondly the birth of her children. Her face then turned angry. "Then Danzou and several others cornered Minato and I. They then put me in that cage you found me in. I wonder where Minato went too." Kushina looked very sad. "But if what you say is true then Minato being dead all those years… Did I ever have the girls? And if so who was the father?"

"We found evidence that you had at least two C-sections. That would mean you were pregnant at least twice so you may have actually known your two daughters. As for the father, I am not sure if it was Minato, as Danzou could have used artificial insemination on you and then had a cesarean performed on you when you came to term. The person who did the genjutsu would have given you memories so that you would not have to deal with the trauma at the time. I will need to wake Mikoto Uchiha soon. And I will keep in touch with you. For now just enjoy your time with Naruto and Hinata." Inoichi informed Kushina. The mindscape shifted back to the outside world.

--

Kushina looked over at Naruto and put her hand out for him to hold and weakly smiled. 'Naruto-kun I am sorry I missed so much.' Kushina thought as her world slowly went black.

"Kikiyo-san! She blacked out will she be ok?" Naruto worriedly yelled.

Kikiyo ran over to Kushina and checked her out. Kikiyo then sighed. "She has just fallen asleep Naruto-kun. There is no need to worry." Kikiyo replied with a kind smile.

Inoichi put a reassuring hand on Mikoto's should and nodded. Mikoto went to sleep.

--

Outside a redhead appears to be running from an ANBU. "You will not get away!" The rat masked ANBU yells. 'No she is heading towards the Hyuuga compound. This could be trouble.'

The man threw several shuriken at the girl with one hitting the girl on the arm. She yelped in pain as she cleared the complex wall and landed in a heap next to a dark haired girl. "Help me…" The redhead pleaded.

Hanabi was practicing in the gardens when the girl had cleared the wall and collapsed near her. "Father, I need help out here!" Hanabi yelled.

The ANBU landed near the girls and grinned evilly behind his mask. "Lady Hanabi, please stand back and allow me to capture this criminal." The man asked as his voice seethed with anger.

"Why would an ANBU be chasing a young girl?" Hanabi asked as she got into her juken stance.

"Ah, the Juken, how good are you with it? I am sure you are better than your pathetic sister. It will be a pleasure to eliminate one of the main branch so when Root takes over the Hyuuga will be equals." The man said as he got into his own juken stance.

"I see you are a member of the branch family and feel nothing but hatred towards the main branch. Well you will not have long to suffer from your stupidity." Hanabi said with a smirk as she stood and left her stance crossing her arms.

"As usual arrogance of the main branch knows no bounds. Now you die! Ah!!" The man collapsed in pain just as he started to run at Hanabi.

Hiashi was standing behind the man holding his left hand up with pointer and middle finger pointed up. "Apparently not as much arrogance as some of the side branch members have. So root is after this girl. Kikiyo treat the girl and get her to the infirmary. Inoichi and I will deal with this traitor." Hiashi said as he only applied enough chakra to the curse seal to immobilize the man.

"Wait I must talk to the girl, she maybe one of the ones we are looking for. Wait Kikiyo I need to ask her a question." Inoichi said as he caught up with Kikiyo. "Girl if I may ask what is your name?"

"Thank you for your help, my name is Yuki. Please go help my little sister and her friend they are in an abandoned building three blocks to the east of here. Please hurry." Yuki pleaded with Inoichi.

Inoichi looked at Hiashi who nodded as Inoichi then disappeared. "Now 'rat' you will tell me all you know about root. And don't spare any of the details. Hanabi please go inform your sister that we will be having more guests. Have the Uzumaki moved to their rooms." Hiashi stated as he closed on the ANBU. "Now where were we?"

Hanabi looked at her father. "As you wish father, I will inform Naruto-niisan and his siblings." Hanabi replied as she bowed and then left the area.

--

Inoichi got to the abandoned building and saw an ANBU with an eagle mask and the kanji for root on it. Inoichi made several hand signs as the ANBU passed out. After searching for a couple minutes he found two young girls no older than four huddled in a corner. Inoichi slowly approached with his both hands up. "I am Inoichi Yamanaka. I want to take you to your mothers. Would you like that? Also Yuki is safe, she is the one who told me you were here. I will protect so that we can get safely to the Hyuuga compound. You both will see your mothers again and it will be safe there." Inoichi said with a smile.

Both girls got up and ran to Inoichi, who accepted them in an embrace. Inoichi turned as he noticed a presence behind him. Kotetsu was behind him. "Thanks for helping us take out the trash, do you need any more help with escort? I have six regular ANBU. We have taken the root ANBU that you disabled into custody. The four others we got are also going to Ibiki as we speak. Hiashi sent for me as backup."

"I would like that, how many ANBU did you say you had?"Inoichi asked.

"Six, come out guys we are on guard duty." Kotetsu said happily as six masked figures appeared out of the shadows. "Let's get these girls back to their families."

--

A/N: Okay I know your fist question before you ask it… No Kushina and Mikoto were not raped, Inoichi was correct that both women were artificially inseminated. Also root was able to acquire sperm from both the Fourth and Fugaku around the times of their deaths. So the children are biologically from Minato and Fugaku. Danzou did not figure on the lack of potency of male sperm when frozen so they ended up with girls. Danzou maybe evil but he does have some morals. He wants to rebuild the Uchiha however he can and if they can come under root all the better. Here is a tidbit of info... Mikoto was less than a month pregnant when she was 'killled' by Itachi.

As for Danzou knowing that Naruto is the Minato and Kushina's child it is a given as he is the head of root.

Families:

Uzumaki: Kushina –Matriarch; Naruto – eldest son, age 12; Shinbo – adopted son, age 11; Yugito, adopted daughter, age 10; Yuki, eldest natural daughter, age 8; Yoshiko, youngest natural daughter, age 4.

Uchiha: Mikoto – Matriarch; Itachi – eldest son; Sasuke – youngest son, age 13; Sora – youngest daughter, age 4.

Next chapter family powwow… And the search for Tsunade begins…
