Naruto had made sure that she had gone through the day showing as much love as she could to those around her. Her mother had still not chosen a name for the baby but she promised that she would pick it soon. Naruto had to hold back her tears as she went through the day. She had to focus on spending as much time as she could with the ones she loved. She ate dango with Anko, kissed Sasuke, gave Konohamaru a kiss on the cheek which made the scarfed child almost faint, she sparred with her dad and had a heartfelt conversation with her mum. The last thing she did was hold her brother in her arms and sing him a song before kissing the baby lightly on the cheek. She then went to her room to prepare for her journey. She cried as she packed her bag, not wanting to leave but knowing she had to do. She waited patiently until she it was time for her to leave. She wrote a short note which she left behind on her bed for whoever to find and then she used the Hiraishin to teleport to the mark she had placed just outside the gates of the village earlier during the day. From there, she sprinted to the border where she found Ichirou waiting. He didn't say a word, he just leapt off, expecting Naruto to follow. She did.

Minato hadn't seen or heard anything from his daughter for the whole day and neither had Kushina so he went to check if she was in her room. She wasn't there. Minato was about to leave when he saw a small piece of paper on Naruto's bed. He picked it up and opened it. The note read:

I'm sorry.
I just want everyone to be safe.
I love you.
-Naruto

Minato just stared at the paper, not understanding why Naruto would leave. He called to Kushina who rushed up the stairs with the baby in her arms. He showed her the note and she started crying. Minato enveloped his wife in his arms and held her as she cried.

By nightfall the next day, Ichirou and Naruto had made it to Kazar's hideout in the Land of Waves. It was inside the little cove that she had seen Ichirou and speaking in last time she was here. To get inside you had to perform some sort of complicated hand seal and then tap on the wall three times before turning a circular knob that was hidden particularly well behind some vines. She was surprised that she hadn't spotted the little knob. The rock wall opened and a dark space stared Naruto in the face. She was hesitant to go in but Ichirou pushed her in before following. The door shut automatically behind him. Torches lit up Ichirou and Naruto walked down the tunnels. Ichirou navigated like a pro through the maze of tunnels until they got to a large room that was well lit and had a throne at the very back of the room. Seated in the throne was none other than Kazar. This was the beginning of her new life.
