Okay everyone this chapter is meant to be a filler in order to answer some questions about my previous chapters that I got in some of my reviews. It does imply things for the next chapter; I did not want to disappoint my readers by putting up a fake chapter.

Chapter 4: filler and a preview

-15 years ago Konoha hospital—

Two babies had just been born a boy and a girl. It was October 10th . One of the nurses had just taken the twins to be cleaned when an ANBU arrived. Strangely, the mask had Ne on it. Without warning, the first ANBU knocked the nurse out and took the baby girl, while the other placed a memory suppression seal on the nurse. The ANBU quickly left, lest they be noticed.

-in another hospital room—

The wife of Inochi Yamanaka (don't know her name, if someone does please tell me) had also just given birth to a baby girl, however just as the nurse left to clean the baby Yamanaka, one of the Kyuubi's tails smashed through the walls knocking the nurse down and Inochis wife out. Slamming its tail on the floor, the baby Yamanaka was crushed along with the nurse that had been holding it. It was only by a miracle that Inochi's wife lived.

-unspecified area—

"You failed" a crippled man named Danzo stated. "But my lord how did we fail? We retrieved the child as ordered?" The ANBU who had kidnapped Kushina's daughter asked. "You took the child too early. You were to wait until the fourth sealed the Kyuubi and then take the child while the Sandaime was busy and Kushina asleep." The old war hawk Danzo explained. "Fortunately, I may be able to use this to my advantage and it is because of that, that I will spare your life when I should kill you for your failure. The next time you fail, you will not be so lucky. Am I Understood?" Danzo said with authority and the ANBU knew he was serious. "Yes sir!" came the trained response of the ANBU. "Good for now pace the baby in a secure room; I need to think about how this will work." With that, Danzo dismissed his minions.

-back with Kushina after Kyuubi was sealed—

Sarutobi had just handed Kushina the baby boy, who she named Naruto, back after the sealing was complete. However, something felt off. Naruto was in her arms, but what about her daughter? The nurse who had left never returned. Voicing her thoughts to Sarutobi, the elderly Hokage asked for a week to investigate, if nothing turned up and the baby was not fount, it would officially be a kidnapping. The only reason why it was not immediately labeled that was because the Kyuubi attack created a huge chaos. With so many ninja being admitted to the hospital due to injuries, there could have been a mix up. Kushina agreed with what the Sandaime said and was content to watch over baby Naruto for the mean time.

-unspecified location—

'Hmm…so Sarutobi will declare it a kidnapping in a week then? That will give me plenty of time to smooth over my plans. If it does not work, I will just have to kill her.'

-one week later: the Hokage's office—

"I refuse to wait any longer Sarutobi!" Kushina angrily stated. "Kushina, the ANBU are still trying to get everything under control. I was rash, to think that everything would be fixed in less than a week. The number of ninja lost and the amount injured severely lessened our manpower. We need that manpower to be put into reconstruction." The old Hokage tried to explain to a frustrated Kushina. It was not working. "Fine then… I will search for my daughter myself. I will be leaving the village to do so. It was probably Iwa or Kumo." Kushina was determined to find her daughter. "What about Naruto?" the Sandaime asked, using Naruto to keep Kushina in the village. However, it was not to be. "I will ask Tsume or Kurenai to raise him and watch over him while I am gone." I was clear that Kushina could not be swayed and would leave to search for her daughter. The Hokage sighed, "If you insist…I will help you by keeping missing nin out of your way." Now Kushina was confused how was he going to do that? Seeing her puzzled look the Hokage explained. "I will mark you down as an S ranked ninja in the bingo book. At the moment, we cannot spare any hunter ninja to go after our missing nin. Our defenses are already severely weakened. I will have Jiraya spread rumors in hopes that other missing nin will avoid you because of the rumored power that you hold. I will also record these events so that if you do not return by the time Naruto becomes a chunnin, he will be given this scroll. If I die before then that is. I am getting old and may die before I can tell him." After thinking about what the Hokage said Kushina spoke "that sounds good, but how will the next Hokage know about the scroll, if you do die that is?" She was not expecting an answer, so she was surprised when Sarutobi answered her. "I plan to have one of my students be my successor. It will most likely be Tsunade. Knowing Jiraya, he would never accept it, having a spy network to run and all. So if Tsunade takes over she will know. I will tell Jiraya about this as well, just so he may remind Tsunade about it if she happens to forget." One she heard that Kushina decided that nothing was wrong with his plan. That day Kushina packed her things and began the search for her daughter.

-end chapter—

I hope this answers most of the questions that I have got in some of my reviews. It also gives a small preview of the next chapter if you managed to spot it. That is all for now. I will update ASAP, though it may take awhile, college comes first (sigh). Anyway, have a happy thanksgiving!
