I don't own Naruto in any way.

Kyuubi talking

"Talking"

Looking at him now I can tell a lot of time has passed. Too long in fact seeing that my Sochi is at least 12 years old. Sadness welled up inside me realizing that I missed so much of my Sochi's life. Never able to see his first words, never see his first step nothing. The only thing I know I can do for him now is be there for him no matter what now. Slowing walking forward to confirm it is him, it seems too much like a dream to me. Why does he keep staring at me like that? It's like he's trying to confirm with his own eyes that I here. Why? He should've known about me. They should've told him everything so why-

"Kaa-chan is that really you," he whispered hopefully.

Looking at his eyes you can see the overwhelming look of loneliness, pain, and suffering. Looking deep there is also a small hope residing in his eyes. "Hai sochi it's really me. I'm not going anywhere now that were together again." She told him.

Reaching his hand up he touched her smooth porcelain skin as if she was going to vanish before his eyes. Running his other hand through her long, silky red hair. His mask finally dropped and hugged her tighter than he ever did to anyone else. Tears were streaming down his face with finally all the loneliness and pain he stored inside himself for most of his life.

"Shhhhh sochi it's okay now let it all out. Never again will you have to go through such suffering. Never again." She whispered soothingly into his ear.

A small smile came across Yugao's face as she finally saw Naruto finally find a small piece of happiness in his life. Maybe know everything will be better for him. Listening to his screams of sadness did nothing but bring back the guilt she felt when she had abandoned him. Never again will let him suffer through this pain. I won't let him along Kushina and any others we will make sure you're never alone again.

My Sochi shouldn't have been like this, it's like no one's ever been there for him during his life. Why someone should've been there for him. Hearing the screams die down and hearing his breathing even out she saw that he exhausted himself and fell asleep. Laying him with his head in her lap she stroked his unruly blonde hair in order to keep him calm. Looking around she saw one of her students Yugao Uzuki sitting there with a few tears leaking out of her eyes. "Yugao what's happened over the years to make my Sochi like this?"

Hearing her sensei's she couldn't help but flinch a little. Taking a deep breath to calm herself she looked up at Kushina and saw her rage building in her eyes. "The village did this to him. Over the years many attempted to assassinate Naruto. He was beaten, scorned, and neglected by the village. The Hokage gives him fake sympathy in order to keep his 'weapon' close to him."

Unbridled rage began to build inside her. How dare they after everything that we did for this village, they go and treat my son like this. I will get answers soon. One way or another someone will pay, she thought darkly. "I see. Until my Sochi wakes up then I guess answers will have to wait then..."

"Hai."

Feeling something squirming around in her lap she looked down to see Naruto's eyes opening and looking into her own violet eyes. "Sochi now I do have some questions for you about your life."

"Hai, but first I need to confirm something that was placed on you neck years ago."

Looking at him in confusion "My neck, now that you mention it before all this happened I have felt a strange sensation there but Minato always told me it was nothing." Turning around and moving her hair to give him access to her neck, she felt him switch positions to have better access. She felt him pump some chakra into her neck and heard him muttering to himself. "Did you find anything there?"

Looking at what appeared before him did nothing but show him that Konoha did nothing but betray the Uzumaki Clan. A small seal appeared and showed to parts to a slave seal and a memory seal. "Hai this will hurt a bit, but it shouldn't last very long."

"That's okay I'm sure I can handle it."

"Ok then here we go seal release." Slamming his hand down and pumping chakra into the seal.

Feeling him slam his hand on her neck she felt the worst pain ever. It felt like someone was cutting her arms and legs off. Then she remembered, she remembered it all. She saw what happened during her life. The destruction of Uzu, her being kidnapped by Konoha, becoming the new Jinchuriki, and finally the plot by Minato Namikaze. Finally after what seemed like forever the pain died down.

"How do you feel kaa-chan?"

"Better than I ever did. I remember it all I remember what they did to our clan." She turned to stare at Yugao, like she was making some life hard decision. "Naruto can we trust her."

Seeing Yugao's panicked look he had quickly make sure his mother did nothing drastic. "Hai we can trust her, when no one else was there she helped me. She won't betray us."

Looking from Naruto to his mother she couldn't help but feel a sense of relief that washed over her that Naruto still trusted her not to betray him. "I won't betray you two. Don't worry everything that you two do will stay a secret."

"Okay Yugao since my sochi trusts you I won't make any judgement calls against you… as long as you don't betray us." She clapped her hands together and stood up. "Okay I have we all have questions but it's late so we should sleep and figure all this out tomorrow."

"Hai kaa-chan, goodnight you two."
"Goodnight Sochi, Yugao."
"Goodnight Naruto-kun, Kushina-sensei."

Walking down the streets towards his office, he couldn't help but marvel at the fact the village was doing so well. Years of planning and making sure nothing could disrupt the peace that was currently over the village he couldn't do anything but hope that this peace lasted. Finally reaching the Hokage's tower sighing knowing the horrors that he was going to have to indulge in today. Finally reaching his office he could only groan about how much paperwork there was. Looking to a small booklet on his desk he couldn't help but smirk. Project 11 was probably the greatest plan that we ever created. I do have to wonder though how is Kushina doing, it's been a while since I've checked on her. Getting up and walking towards the seal he placed his hand on it and fluctuated his chakra in a certain pattern to unlock the door. Finally opening the door and walking in, he felt a surge of panic and anger overtake him. There sitting on the bed was nothing but a note:

You thought we didn't know that she was captive. Maybe next time you'll remember not to mess the Uzumaki.

Signed

...Your friend

"ANBU!" roared the Hokage.

In one swift motion three ANBU appeared and kneeled before him. "Hai Hokage-sama."

"You are to find Kushina Uzumaki immediately. Someone had infiltrated us and taken her from us. DO NOT return until you find her understand."

"Understood Hokage-sama."

Turning around as soon as they left he continued to seethe in anger. "I will find out who was responsible for this. No matter the cost." Growled out the Hokage.
