When the Konoha 12 made it to the Hokage office, the Yondaime who was filling out paperwork said "Be with you in a minute." as he finished filling something out and said "And there...Oh, good news Naruto, I just got a letter from the Kazekage who has agreed to a meeting between Him and his daughter, you, me, and your other fiance..."

Naruto quickly said "No names...For her privacy I am not telling anyone who my other fiance is since we want to wait to get to know each other better."

Ino said "And when are you going to have time to get to know her better with all the work your doing."

Naruto said "When she gets back in the village. She's out on business."

Sakura said "Wait, you mean it's not Tenten...Damn, I was sure it was her."

Naruto shrugged and said "I said it before, Tenten my friend."

Tenten said "Besides, I'm dating Neji right now...though if he doesn't drop the sama crap I'm going to castrate him." as she glared at Neji.

Neji said "If it is my fate, who am I to argue against fate."

Naruto said "Kami, give me strength to finish that seal so he will shut up about fate...anyways what did you want Hokage-sama."

The Yondaime sighed and said "Alright, here's the situation, a client came in here requesting a C-rank body guard mission in Wave country. The clients name is Tazuna and he's building a bridge. ANBU caught a pair of C-rank missing nin from Mizu about 5 miles away from Konoha. They are with Ibiki right now but they had a picture of Tazuna on them and they claim they were order to kill him. That instantly raises the rank from a C-rank to a B-rank at least...but the thing is we recently got information that there is a LOT of illegal things going down in Wave country. Apparently there is a slave market running out of Wave, weapons, drugs, money...it appears to be a big operation and I believe that this bridge is a direct threat to the illegal operation going on there which is why Tazuna was being targeted...but that is not all. The 2 missing nins claim the person they work for is called the demon. We don't know who it is but with the possibility it could be a Jinchuuriki, or a few others we need to investigate and find out who this demon is...also, Naruto discovered 3 possible spies in Konoha but before they could be arrested they were sent on a mission in the area of Wave. An ANBU team that was sent to follow them has disappeared also. I am sending your four teams along with ANBU Team Serpent with Kitsune replacing Hydra. Your mission is to protect the bridge builder, find out information about the missing ANBU as well as the possible spies, find out what you can about the weapons and drugs being sent through Wave and find out what you can about the slave ring and deal with them."

Naruto frowned as he said "What is the condition of the civilians in Wave."

Sakura asked "What do you mean."

Naruto said "While it's not avertised, Konoha has a red light district. Durring the day you don't really notice anything but late in the evening or at night the area changes. ANBU keep things quite but prostitutes, drugs, and other things along those lines are common there. It's basically a don't ask don't tell thing but the people who live there either don't come out at night or have had to change thier lifestyles because they simply can't afford to go anywhere else. If Wave has the things that Hokage-sama has told us about I bet the civilian lifestyle there has changed also to deal with it."

Hebi said "I would have to agree with the Gaki. If there is as much going on there as you say then the civilians are having to deal with it. That could explain where the slave ring comes in at. People who got caught at the wrong place at the wrong time or saw something they shouldn't have."

Minato said "I agree also but all we got is the words of a man I believe are only half truths already."

Naruto said "But the question is, why us...I can understand the ANBU. I can also understand the Jounins...but we are 12 GENNINS, 9 of us fresh out of the accademy. I know the difference of fighting someone not holding back between a Gennin and a Chunnin or Jounin level. You claim you have a pair of C-rank meaning most likely Chunnin missing nin and they are under someone's orders, meaning either a really strong Chunnin or a Jounin and if he's a Jinchuuriki...I've read about others...how thier trained from an early age to be thier village secret weapon...it makes me thankful for Jiji even more...if the person is a Jinchuuriki, then your not only putting us in danger from the threat of them and thier Bijuu, your putting us in danger with what ever village they escaped from because I can bet the other village will have hunters or capture teams searching for the guy and they won't take kindly to us possibly capturing or destroying thier weapon...and then the problem with actually killing him or her. If thier seal isn't strong enough your talking about releasing a demon when we kill him or her if it comes to that. I'm not trained enough in Uzumaki jutsu yet to make much of a difference against a demon yet and you know this...which is why, for not only my sake but the sake of the other gennin here, I have to ask, WHY US."

Minato sighed and looked at Naruto for several minutes and said "What I am about to tell you is a secret that only the clan heads and a few trusted others know...Thanks to the other spy you helped us catch we got information that Konoha is going to be attacked during the finals of the Chunnin exams by Orochimaru." causing everyone in the rooms eyes to widen.

Hebi screamed "WHAT...Why wasn't I told."

Minato said "Because your bait to help lure him into a trap. Naruto publically announced he destroyed the curse seal will catch Orochimaru attention. Yours isn't as advanced as others he has now so he's going to need to capture you and study you to see if Naruto sealing is a threat to his newer curse seals and if so he's going to try and eliminate Naruto. We have reason to believe the slaves and the weapons going through Wave are being purchased by Orochimaru for his experiments as well as to prepare for his attack on the village. With the threat of the village getting ready to be attacked I have no choice but to get our forces prepared and set up traps for enemy ninja and evacuations paths for civilians. I am also having the clan heads preparing the member of thier clans without trying to tip our hand that we know about the attack. I've got Shikaku having the new police force setting up protective barriers that will seal off sections of the village so enemy forces can't get in there once activated. The Sandaime is out searching for both Jiraiya and Tsunade to bring them back to Konoha along with 2 teams of ANBU. If I could I would just send team Serpent along with the Ino-Shika-Cho clanheads to investigate this...but I need those 3 here to help organise the village protection...but we don't have enough information on the enemy as to who they are since Orochimaru has to have an army if he plans to attack the village, where they are and if they have allies."

Minato rubbed his face and said "I don't doubt Orochimaru has other spies in the village still that we haven't found. Some I bet are watching both you and Naruto for when you leave the village for missions so he can have you captured as well as Naruto so he can try and gather information about how to destroy his curse seal as well as use as a hostage to try and use against me...This would normally mean that everyone else besides Naruto would not be needed so his men would kill anyone with Naruto and you don't need to be alive for him to study you...but Orochimaru does have a weakness, he wishes to learn every jutsu in the world and so he needs to be able to have access to the bloodlines in the world to be able to achieve that dream...that is why I have decided that I am sending all of you together, as one big all you can eat buffet for Orochimaru...If he comes after you while you are all performing your mission then Kitsune will throw the Hiraishin kunai she has summoning me to the battle field and I'll have 20 teams of ANBU on standby who can be summoned to my location in an instant. If Orochimaru falls for this trap we can save Konoha from being attacked all in one swift moment."

Ino said in a little bit of a scared voice "So...we are all nothing but bait."

Minato said "No, you are ninja of Konoha. You have each swore an oath to give your lives to protect Konoha and it's people. You are all going into Wave to protect the bridge builder, find out information about the weapons and drugs going through wave, find out about the slave ring going on there, and shutting them down. If Orochimaru shows up then we will deal with it. If he doesn't then you finish your missions and start preparing for War. If you can not do that then hand me your Hiate and I'll place a seal on you to keep what you have heard a secret and you can hide in the bunkers with the other civilians while your comrads fight and die to protect you. This is not a game, The lives of every man, woman, and child in this village is on the line and if one of you dies then it is regreatable but the lives of the many are worth more then the lives of the one. If that wasn't the case then I wouldn't of saved Konoha from the Kyuubi by sacrificing my life and Naruto for all of you. Your not little kids, the moment you put on that hiate you became adults. Old enough to kill, old enough to drink, old enough to fuck and old enough to die so now is the time you either put up and act like adults or shut up and quit playing ninja before you get yourself and others killed."

It was at that moment the Jounins in the room were reminded of why Minato Namikaze was known as the Hero of the 3rd great Shinobi war and for the Gennins to finally see a true KAGE.

Naruto bowed and said "Sorry for my disrespect in questioning your orders Hokage-sama."

Minato saw the change in the people in the room and he said "War is not pretty...friends, family, comrads and innocence are lost in War...I would not do this to any of you if there was another way but there isn't another way. All we can do is prepare ourselves the best we can and fight with everything we have...I can see the Will of Fire burns brightly in the hearts of each and every one of you. I can see that you are all strong where true strength comes from...here." as he touched his heart.

Minato saw everyone looking at him and said "It doesn't matter how smart you are in mind, or how powerful you are in body. Iwa was the strongest army in the world during the 3rd Shinobi war, Kumo was the smartest army in the world. Together as allies they were a force that should have been able to destroy anyone...but you want to know how we were able to not only stop them but defeat them..it wasn't because we had stronger ninja, or smarter ninja, it wasn't because we were more powerful then them...it wasn't even jutsu like the Hiraishin...It was because each and every one of us were fighting to protect our friends, family, and loved ones...true strength comes from protecting that wish you cherish most...that is the Will of Fire that destroyed Kumo and Iwa durring the third Shinobi war. Every time we fough we fought for every , woman, and child we cherished. Every time we were out numbers, every time we wanted to roll over and die, every time we felt so tired mentally and physically that we just wanted to give up we remembered the faces of those we held close and we would gain new strength that for every one of us who died we took out 20 of thiers, for every plan they came up with to defeat us, we came up with 10 to counter and defeat thiers...a single stick can be broke easy, a group is much harder to defeat...but when a person has the will of fire in thier heart they don't break the sticks...they set them on fire and burn them to ash and then piss on the ashes to put it out. Iwa fought us with greed wanting more land...Kumo fought us with hate after thier defeat under the Nidaime and Sandaime. When someone fights with greed in thier hearts it's easy to defeat them by making the price of getting it to high for them to pay. When facing someone who fights with hate in thier heart it is easy to defeat them because hate blinds them to what is going on around them. When you focus on one thing you don't see the attack coming from behind. We let Kumo focus on us with thier hate and we let them wound us so they would focus on us more while our allies in Suna attacked directly to the heart of Kumo. With so many of thier forces focused on us because of thier hate, 3/4 of Kumo was destroyed in a single attack because thier hate made them weak and predictable and easier to control...remember those words...You all leave at 7am from the front gate tomorrow...prepare for anything...dismissed."

Naruto said "Actually sir, if I could speak with you privately before you dismissed everyone. I have a question related to the mission I do not know if it would be classified or not so can you have everyone wait while we speak privately." as he motioned to the room behind the wall.

Minato said "Very well." as he got up and pulled the book out causing the wall to move.

Once Minato and Naruto were out of the room Kushina quickly ran over to the Hokage desk pulling out a drawer and pulled out the Hokage crystal ball and Tenten said "Hey, I though Naruto stole that."

Kushina said "He did and he hid it pretty good. He hid it in the Forbidden scroll. If it wasn't for the fact the Hiraishin kunais were sealed in that scroll also then nobody would have found it for months if not years. Now be quite, this is going to...owww." as everyone saw what just happened and were stunned.

In the room a few moments earlier Minato asked "What is it you wished to ask." as he turned around only to be sent flying against the wall from a fist from Naruto.

Minato winced as he grabbed his jaw and Naruto said "I told you I would break your jaw. Now that I've got that out of my system I want to first say I understand your orders father but you are a fucking asshole. You could have done that entirely another way instead of making everyone there feel like thier nothing more then a tool to be used and thrown away. You may consider them your soldiers but to me thier my friends and comrads. Each of them have stood by me and have only slightly changed after finding out first about the Kyuubi, my bloodline, ANBU, and then my family. Unlike the rest of those people out there who act like they never once made my life hell and think they can suck up to me because I'm the Yondaime son. Most of the respect I have from those in that room I have EARNED and now you want to put them in danger like this without thinking of everything. Orochimaru is a fucking Sannin. He's been fightin enemies longer then you were alive. While you been in that seal he's been doing god knows what and what tricks he has up his sleave. If he's heard about me and Anko then he knows about you as well and will plan for you. This whole hero come in at the last second with Hiraishin idea is a stupid ass idea. You have not thought about the safety of our teams to stand our ground until you arrive...IF you arrive. Have you ever Hiraishined the distance to Wave before. What if something happens to the seal on the kunai, what if you fucked up on it like you did the one on me. Are you willing to risk all our lives on a half baked idea."

Minato got up holding his jaw and Naruto said "I'm not...I won't put my friends and love ones at risk if I can save them."

Minato moved his hand away and said "Then what would you have me do, huh. As Hokage I have to think of all the people of Konoha. Not just you and those you care about."

Naruto said "Not surprising you would use that excuse." as he crossed his arms.

Minato frowned and said "And what's that suppose to mean."

Naruto glared at him and said "You know...I lied. When I told everyone that day I didn't hate you...I lied. I hate your fucking guts and you want to know why. It's not because of Kyuubi."

Minato said "Then what is it. What is it that you hate me for if it's not sealing the Kyuubi in you."

Naruto said "I hate you because you never think of the future results of your actions. Do you even know what you have done to me...I bet you don't. After all these years I bet you still haven't figure out what you have done to me."

Minato who was getting pissed at the way Naruto was talking to him said "Then enlighten me oh so wise master."

Naruto glared at him and said "Fine, I will...but only if you promise to never repeat this to ANYONE. I don't want mom hurt knowing the truth of what you have done."

Minato frowned and nods and Naruto said "Do you know how the human body heals...don't answer that. I'll explain so we can save time. The Human body heals by cells splitting. Each cell can split only so many times before it dies."

Minato said "I know that."

Naruto said "Then did you know Tsunade has a seal that allows her to store chakra over the course of her life and allows her to release it all at once to heal from severe injuries by speeding up the cell splitting process...did you know that each time she uses it she loses months to years off her life depending on the amount of damage and how much she has to heal."

Minato eyes widen slightly as he started to get a bad feeling.

Inside the Hokage office the others there who were watching in the Hokage crystal ball also were getting a feeling.

Naruto said "I can see your starting to understand. Now that is what happens when the human body heals. Now you see, while I can heal normally, thanks to Kyuubi, I also regenerate. I've researched it and found where people have studied animals that regenerate lost limbs, mostly reptiles such as lizards, that when they regenerate a lost limb the limb is only half as strong as it originally was so it has to work twice as hard to get the use as the old one did...now lets say I had my arm cut off, it would grow back, weaker then the original...but that's Kyuubi chakra causing that...but what about everything that connects to the new arm..muscles build by being destroyed and rebuilt. If I had to have a new arm regrown then the muscles in my shoulders would have to work twice as hard to get the same results meaning they would have to be destroyed and repaired faster and faster...now think about all the times you saw me attacked, think of all the damage to my organs..."

Minato eyes widen as he thought about what Naruto was saying and he started to open his mouth and Naruto said "Oh no you don't. Your not getting off that easy. That's only the first thing I am pissed at you. Sure finding out that I may die any minute because of my body having healed itself to much was a hard bullet to bite...but that wasn't enough for you...remember the jutsu you used to defeat Kyuubi...remember how it works. The user and the target souls are both ate by the Shinigami where they will battle for all eternity in the stomach of the death god...Now also think of how you got the brilliant idea to change that by sealing the Kyuubi in me...do you really think the Shinigami is going to let the Kyuubi soul go...No, when I die, the fox dies and his soul gets ate by the Shinigami or sent to hell...but the problem is you bound the Kyuubi soul and my soul together asshole meaning I don't even get a peaceful afterlife..."

In the Hokage office everyone was shocked as they heard "...I get to spend my afterlife in the belly of the Shinigami or get sent to hell where the Kyuubi and every other demon will torment me for the rest of eternity."

Kushina covered her mouth and whispered "No..." as tears began to gather in her eyes as well as others.

Tenten pulled her arms around her as she looked at Naruto.

Back in the side room Naruto said "But you see, there's a problem...not only is the Kyuubi soul connected to mine, but also yours and moms...now normally, if it was just you, I would drag your ass to hell with me where I'd make a deal with the Kyuubi to torture you every way possible before he began with me...but I can't let mom befall such a fate...she's an innocent...which is why I've saved her and you from being dragged to hell with me."

Minato who was frozen in place asked "What do you mean." in a voice filled with sorrow.

Naruto sighed as he sat down and said "As long as the Whirlpool seal has power to send to you and mom, you both will live...Right now you both are living off of the chakra living in me...but I've come up with a way to save you both even if I should die so that you both will live...People naturally release chakra from thier bodies into the air. I've created a seal that will draw chakra from the air and store it in battery seals that are connected to the Whirlpool seal. I've placed these absorbing seals in Konoha as well as sending Kagebunshin to other towns throughout the land where they were installed and will draw chakra from the towns making it where you and mom will live for many many years...hopefully long enough for the bond connecting our souls together to be shattered."

Minato said "You can't do that. It's my place to goto hell, not yours."

Naruto snorts and said "Then you shouldn't have included me all those years ago...besides...I'm not so cruel as to take away from mom the comfort of the man she loves which is why I am saving you...it's also why I have given you and mom another chance to be parents."

Minato asked "What are you saying. Kushina can't have kids anymore."

Naruto smirked and said "I know, I read her file...but she's also 2 weeks pregnant now thanks to me."

Minato eyes widen and said "WHAT."

Inside the Hokage office Kushina also repeated the words of her husband as she put her hand on her stomach.

Back with Naruto

Naruto said "Yeah...I'm your child. My genetics is made up of half from you and half from mom...as you may or may not know my sexy no jutsu is an actual shape shift...meaning I actually become what I appear. That is also why woman turn to men when they activate the rape seal. I used the sexy no jutsu on me using my knowledge of the human body to make it as detailed as possible and I had a kagebunshin take some eggs from my overies...I then took a sperm sample from me as a male and fertilized the eggs while also using a special jutsu on them to ensure that one would be male while the other female...since they came from me who came from both you, in essence they are in fact me, and yet at the same time my siblings. When mom went in for her last exam I replaced the normal nurse and had her get on a bed that had a seal to knock her out and placed the the fertilized eggs in her."

Minato screamed "Why...Why did you do that."

Naruto said "Because mom's greatest dream was to be able to hold her child and take care of it as he or she grows...she's told me that over and over that was her greatest regret...and I can tell it's also yours which is why I am giving you both your dreams. You both will have a son and a daughter to raise like you both dreamed and you can watch them grow up and older and then watch thier children and thier children and so on and so forth until I won't even be a memory...she doesn't know about what I've done and you can't tell her...this is my blessing and curse to you. You will have to keep the knowledge of what I have told you a secret in order to ensure mom's happiness as you both live on after I am gone. This secret will burn at your heart knowing it's your fault this has happened and knowing that you can't tell anyone about it or ruin my first and maybe last request for you as your son. As far as mom will know is that Kami blessed her with another chance to be a mother which will make her cherish them even more once I am gone. Telling her the truth would destroy her."

Minato said "What about you...isn't there something we can do, some way to save you."

Naruto said "At what cost...should I trade bodies like Orochimaru and become nothing more then a parasite feeding off others, should I try turning my body into a human puppet, should I seal my body away and transfer my soul to a clone like you and mom...even if it was possible to do the last, there are things that you have to consider..No man is an island...your salvation from hell is because mom will need the arms of the man she loves to hold her to be able to pass through the ages without going insane watching those she knows dying as she lives on...I couldn't ask someone to give up thier mortality for me just so I could cheat death and not feel alone. How could I take away from anyone I loved the chance to have a family, to pass on who they are so that thier legacy can help shape the world...My entire life I've been alone until recently...I couldn't handle possible eternity alone...that in itself would be a fate worse then hell to me...and I never could ask the woman I love to accept a life like that for me."

Minato looked down and said "What about her...I mean...she's going to be hurt..."

Naruto snorts and said "People underestimate me to much...ever since I found out I was dying I knew I could never burden her with letting her fall for me and then have it taken from her when I suddenly died..and I would never let any children I help create live without me being there...she deserves so much more then that...the happiest moment of my life is when she walked into my life...and the saddest and most hurtful was the day I realised I would have to let her go...if she found out about me she would sacrifice her mortality to be with me...I know this because she loves me as much as I love her...which is why I've given her, her dream as well."

Minato frowned and said "What do you mean."

Naruto said "Neji is suppose to marry Hanabi, Hinata sister. It's his uncles plan to have Neji moved to the main branch as well as save Hanabi from the seal. Now that I in the process of removing the seal the Hyuuga's are still Hyuuga's. They still have thier rules about marrying members of thier own clan to keep thier bloodline strong and with mom giving Hinata a boost of her bloodline and with Neji being the strongest member born in generations, Neji will be forced to marry Hinata...normally."

Minato narrowed his eyes and said "And this isn't a normal situation...is it."

Naruto said "No...I've made a deal with the Hyuuga's in order for Neji to gain his freedom from having to marry Hinata or Hanabi."

Minato said "Your the one who made it where Neji asked her out...aren't you."

Naruto said "No...but I might have helped push him into that decision. If I know anything about her it's she hates being used. I wouldn't use her or her friends."

Minato blinked and asked "Then how did you influence that."

Naruto said "Simple, I created a kagebunshin who used my sexy no jutsu to look like some woman I remember once passing through town and made sure when Neji was training that he saw me and the clone making out so he would think that I was a womanizer and was using her so he would try and protect her by getting closer to her so she would lose interest in me."

In the Hokage office Neji said "But...they had different chakra signatures."

A fist slammed into his face as Neji was sent flying by an extremely PISSED off Tenten.

Minato frowned and said "So you manipulated him."

Naruto said "Do you know how hard it was for me to do that...every time I see her look at him it makes my heart ache, every time I hear her say his name I want to show her how much I love her and want her and only her...every time I think of her future with him it's a torture worse then anything I could think of in hell...she's an angel who should live in heaven...while I'm a demon bound for hell...look, we could discuss this all day but it's not going to change anything. When I first joined in ANBU Anko told me that we are a family, your squad is your brothers and sisters, even when you leave ANBU your still family, we eat together, we fight together, we kill together, we drink together, we live together, and we die together. We protect each other and destroy those who threaten our family...for me that oath goes not just to my ANBU team but also my gennin team and the rest of the people in that room...I would fight and die for any of them in an instant and I am not going to let one of them die before I do. I've made about $60,000 from my share of the seals Dustin and Tenten are selling for thier shop. I have some other seals I plan to give Tenten later for her shop that will help save the lives of the others if the shit hits the fan. I wasn't going to use them yet but you've forced my hand. I want you to go back out there and tell them that I raised some valuable concerns about unknown factors or some bullshit like that and order them to come to Tenten shop. I'll swing by and get my cash and pay to get everyone reoutfitted with new gear that I've upgraded to protect them. I'll bring the templete plates for the seals so they can start selling them also."

Minato asked "What kind of upgrades."

Naruto said "Well, I can make any shuriken or kunai enhanced with wind chakra, I can make cloths tougher where they can stop shuriken and kunais unless they are enhanced by wind, I can make senbon needles explode with the force of 2 exploding tags, I have created a seal to hide bright hair and make it shorter so woman don't have to dye thier hair or cut it for missions. They can just tie it up with a ribbon with the seal I designed and it would turn Sakura or Ino hair into shoulder length brown or black hair to help them blend in and enemy wouldn't be able to use thier hair against them. I can give each of the woman the antirape seal and give everyone the dressphere seal as well as all the guys a storage seal to give them extra chakra if they need it as well as give Lee the ability to use chakra somewhat and many, many more."

Minato thought for a moment and said "Very well...I'll tell them...but I have to ask...what was it you made a deal with the Hyuuga with."

Naruto said "The Hyuuga have a blind spot directly behind the 5th vertibre in thier spine. I created a seal that will allow them to see that blindspot giving them 360 degrees of vision when they only had 359 before. I also gave them another seal that would create a shield around thier compound to make it where no one without Hyuuga blood in them could enter the compound by any ways besides the front gate so there would never be a repeat of the Cloud incident."

Minato said "I see...lets get back to the others."

Naruto nods and both left the room.

When Naruto walked back in the room he saw Neji holding his face and Naruto asked "What happened to you."

Tenten said "He called me Sama again." in a neutral voice.

Hinata said "She's lying. Your mom used that crystal ball to show us everything."

Naruto eyes widen as Naruto saw several people glaring at Hinata who quickly hid in her jacket and Naruto asked nevously "What do you mean."

Kushina sighed and said "About the fact I'm pregnant as well as everything else."

Naruto frowned and said "FUCK."

Tenten said "YOU." before Naruto was sent flying back against the wall before he was pinned to the wall by a pair of kunais as Tenten stomped out of the room.

Naruto watched her leave and sighed and thought "Damn it."
