Alright everyone I'm back again, I'm glad your enjoying the story so far now on with chapter six_Goliath

It took my four days to reach fire country on Blackfire at full gallop. I set up camp about a mile away from the gates of Konoha and now all I had to do was wait. Six days after my arrival I found myself watching Blackfire chase a rabbit around and around and around the camp, I watched her run around so many times I began to feel dizzy. "You know you've been chasing him since early this morning, you're never going to catch him why don't you give it a rest. I was met with an apple to the side of the head, I reached over and grabbed the offending object before glaring up at her. She was looking off in the other direction faining innocence. If I hadn't already known it was her she would have given herself away with the loud snorts of amusement.

"Yeah, yeah you're a comedian I get it, of all the horses in the world I had to get one with an attitude. You can try to play innocent all you want but that's the third one in two days it's getting a little old". She took the apple from my hand swallowing it in one bite then butted me hard in the shoulder with her head. "No I'm not giving you anymore to throw at my head, you know what you need a hobby, or a boyfriend someone to filter out some of that crazy". She stamped her foot in indignation. "What I think it would do you some good to actually have a boyfriend, someone you can drive crazy besides me. Tell me this when's the last time you actually had a boyfriend and that Palomino from the festival does not count".

She looked down thoughtfully for a few minutes before giving me a look that asked when the last time I actually had a girlfriend was. "Oh no don't change the subject this is about you not me. You can't give me a straight answer can you"?

"Naruto stop Arguing with Blackfire". I turned in the direction that I heard Kyuubi's voice in and I found everyone minus Kyuubi, and Kushina looking at me like I had lost my mind. Kyuubi and Kushina having seen this kind of display before were trying hard not to burst out laughing. "Naruto how many times have I told you that you can't beat her, she outsmarts you everytime". I looked down in shame grumbling about horses to smart for their own good.

I sobered up quickly retaking my spot on the ground near the fire I had built. I motioned for the rest of the group to join me on the ground. "Before we see Tsunade, you Konoha nin need to know what happened after Kyuub'si attack Kushina tell them". Kushina Looked at me horrified, she shook her head in response refusing to answer."Tell them or I will, we need as few suprises as possible walking into that office, Tsunade is going to bring it up anyway and I'd rather not have you trying to kill each other when this gets started".

Kushina nodded her head sighing in defeat. "It was three day's after the battle with Kyuubi, I had barely survived giving birth to Naruto, and after learning that Minato had died sealing Kyuubi I went into a sort of depression. I did something that day that I'll regret for the rest of my life".

Flashback

Hiruzen Sarutobi Knew he was getting old, too old to have retaken the position of Hokage and to old to be listening to the two adult's behind him fighting over the wrapped up bundle cradled in Hiashi Hyuuga's arms. "Come on Hiashi let me hold him you've been holding him since we left the hokage tower, sarutobi sensei tell Hiashi to let me hold him".

Sarutobi couldn't help but smirk at the childish tone in his former student's voice as he turned to look at the two figures having a glaring match over the young baby. "Hiashi let Tsunade hold hold Naruto, for a while it's probably the only chance she'll get, I'm sure Kushina will want her child when we reach her room". Hiashi reluctantly handed the baby over to Tsunade ignoring her triumphant smile as she cradled the boy close to her.

Kushina Uzumaki was sitting in a wheelchair peering out the window of her hospital room. She made no movements as the trio walked into the room and made their way over to her. Tsunade knelt next to the young red head gently holding out the baby to her. "Look Kushi-chan we brought someone special to see you". Kushina turned her head, her dead eyes peering down at the baby before her before shifting back out the window. The smile slipped off Tsunade's face but she tried again."Didn't you hear me Kushina, this is Naruto, your baby, your son". Kushina reached over and placed her hand on top of Tsunade's before pushing them away from her.

"Go away Tsunade I don't want him". Horror filled tsunade's heart when she heard her speak those words. She looked up at Hiashi and Sarutobi for support but they seem to just as confounded as she was.

"what do you mean Kushina" Tsunade spoke slowly. "This is your son how can you say you don't want him". Kushina turned her head to look at her Tsunade her eyes seeming to fill up with Rage. "I don't want him that thing is the monster that killed my husband. . .him". Tsunade handed Naruto off to Hiashi then drew back to slap Kushina hoping to knock some sense into the young women.

Sarutobi reached out and grabbed her arms stopping her "give her a few day's Tsunade she's just in shock she'll come around. Come we'll speak about this more in my office". Tsunade nodded following Sarutobi and Hiashi out of the hospital.

A few minutes later found Tsunade pacing slowly back and forth in front of the hokage's desk. "I can't believe her, I can't believe she would act like this so selfishly, this is her child for Kami's sake. Sarutobi watched her pace back and forth in front of him for a few minutes before letting out a loud sigh catching both of their attention.

"I wouldn't worry to much Tsunade, Kushina is a strong kunoich she'll come out of it. However if she doesn't we'll need to come up with a plan with what to do with him just in case". Hiashi and Tsunade were both quick to step up and say at the same time "I'll take him in" before resuming their glaring match from the hospital.

"I was Minato's Teammate and bestfriend, he should come with me, he'll have a big family to look after and raise him, plus my wife is getting ready to have our very first child so he'll have someone his own age to play with". Tsunade nodded her head she had to give him that with the Hyuuga's he would grow up with a big family but she didn't want him to grow up stuck up and cut off from the village.

"With all do respect lord Hyuuga, the boy needs a mother, someone who can actually love and nurture him". They glared at each other again before turning to the aged Hokage expecting him to Make the final decision. Sarutobi smiled brightly before speaking. "Hiashi Tsunade is right the boy will need a mother so I'm going to make her his legal guardian incase Kushina doesn't recover".

Hiashi glared at the two for a minute before relenting realizing he would never win this argument. "Fine but I expect to be able to have regular access to the boy he need's a father figure as well". Sarutobi nodded his head in agreement before beginning to fill out the paper work.

A week later Kushina was gone, the fourth hokage's house completely empty.
