I do not own Naruto and this applies to all following chapters
To make a quick re-cap of what happened last time
It took a grueling two hours of work but Tsunade was finally able to stabilize Kushina. Exhausted from the stress of healing so many grievous wounds all at once, recovering her breath she told Naruto that Kushina was to stay at his apartment until she wakes, and that she had some questions for him. Happy to hear his mother was okay Naruto had a clone pick Kushina up bridal style and used shunshin to reach his apartment. In the meantime, he had to answer some questions…
Chapter 3 of The Juubi
Naruto knew he was in for it when he looked at Tsunade and resigned himself to a long day full of questions. Preparing himself mentally Naruto paid close attention as Tsunade began to list all of her questions not giving him a chance to answer her. "When did you find Kushina? Where did you find her? Why was she hurt so badly? And finally who the hell did that huge amount of chakra I felt come from, also where is it and how did it disappear?" Tsunade was panting lightly by the time she finished and looked angry, anxious, confused and irritated all at once.
'This is definitely going to take awhile if she felt Juubi's chakra, no matter how brief. I'm actually quite surprised that every ninja in the village did not come here when the Juubi stopped in front of the Hokage tower' Naruto was seriously thinking about running before deciding that it would be better to just get it over with so he could go home. "Okay your first three questions I cannot answer because I didn't find her, a group of Kiri nin and Mei-chan found her. As for the chakra…you may want to sit down, this might take awhile." Naruto warned Tsunade before he began to explain what happened
-Flashback Naruto age four-
Naruto was running as fast as his little legs could go, trying his best to escape the mob chasing after him. He was unlucky, as there happened to be a ninja among all the people. In his panic to get away Naruto took a wrong turn and ended up at a dead end in an alleyway. After being stabbed, punched, burned, and just beaten in general until the point where he blacked out. He met the Kyuubi in his mindscape.
-Break-
"I'll spare the details of the conversation with Kyuubi for you so that it won't take so long" Naruto said much to Tsunades relief as she had already been listening to him for ten minutes.
-Continue flashback-
Naruto just finished talking with Kyuubi and woke up to the sight of a jonin about to deliver the final blow. Naruto was incapable of calling for help due to the amount of fear he was experiencing. Being too scared to speak Naruto shut his eyes and called out for help in his mind. Two minutes later, he still did not feel the cold steel slicing his skin open. Hope rising in his heart Naruto opened his eyes and saw a pair of eyes staring at him. Jumping a bit at the proximity of the being, he began to observe it. Ten tails could be seen swaying lazily from side to side. The tails were attached to a full-grown wolf. Intrigued Naruto asked who it was only to mentally smack himself seconds later remembering that a wolf could not speak. He nearly had a heart attack when the wolf opened its mouth and spoke "I am the Juubi, a biju so powerful that I do not take residence on this plane." Naruto simply stared in amazement as seeing a wolf talk.
-End flashback-
"And that's how I met Juubi, later we made a contract, as a side effect of being able to summon the strongest being in the universe, I can summon any type of summon I want as long as I know the species of that summon exists among summon contracts, including demonic ones. So yeah that's about it." Naruto grinned sheepishly while Tsunade just stared. She was shaken from her musings when Naruto predictably asked if he could finally go home. After being dismissed Naruto made plans to head straight home to eat, check on his mother, and sleep.
The next morning Kushina woke up slowly. First, she heard birds chirping nearby, and then she felt softness below her and something warm on top. It did not take long to put the clues together. Alarmed because the last thing she remembered was walking into a camp. Kushina's eyes opened and she immediately regretted doing so as the sunlight hurt her eyes. Slowly getting out of bed, Kushina looked around. The place she was in was quite small and slightly dirty. As she was taking in her surroundings, she spotted Naruto sleeping nearby. Wary that she was in a stranger's house she crept towards the door pausing when one of the floorboards creaked. Checking to make sure he did not wake up, Kushina continued on her way successfully leaving the apartment without waking Naruto.
Once outside Kushina looked around trying to get an idea of where she was. It did not take long though, one glimpse at a tall building with the word fire and she immediately knew she was in Konoha. Seeing the tower reminded her of Minato and his death, along with her son's death…and her daughters kidnapping. Deciding that it couldn't hurt and the third may have found her daughter, the next destination was going to be Konohas Hokage tower.
-Hokage tower—
Standing at the entrance and frowning Kushina grimly walked into the tower and walked up the stairs to the Hokage's office. Earning a few stares from some of the older shinobi. Ignoring all of the stares and murmurings Kushina continued on her way upstairs.
-Tsunades office—
"Sarutobi!" Kushina sternly said as she burst into the Hokage's office expecting to see the kind old shinobi. She was not prepared for what she saw. There sitting in the Hokage's chair, was a young woman who looked to be twenty years old. The woman had long blonde hair in pigtails and a diamond on her forehead. Startled the woman looked up and saw her unexpected visitor "Kushina? Aren't you supposed to be at Narutos apartment?"
'Naruto? She couldn't be talking about him, could she?' Kushina made no reply to Tsunade's question; instead, she opted to ask a few questions of her own. "Where is the old monkey Saratobi? I have a few questions for him." Kushina demanded, surprising Tsunade
"Sarutobi-sensei died several years ago, during the sand and sound invasion fighting Oorichamaru, the Nindaime, and the Shodaime in a three on one battle. Tsunade evenly replied shocking Kushina; it also saddened her because Sarutobi was the only one who knew about her daughter.
'Maybe he wrote it down so the next Hokage would know about it?' It was small, but there was a sliver of hope that the Hokage might know. "Have you seen or found my daughter? She should be around fifteen, blonde or red hair, blue or green eyes. Have you seen anyone like that?" Kushina asked, hope shining in her eyes.
"The only fifteen year old kids that look like that are that brat and the Yamanaka heiress, Ino." Tsunade replied.
"Can I see them?"
"Fine…but don't get your hopes up. Shizune! Get Ino and that twerp in here now!" as soon as that was said Shizune Immediately began contacting the two said genin.
