Naruto after freeing himself from the wall glared at his mom and said "Ever here of a thing called privacy."

Kushina looked sheepish and said "I thought you and Minato would finally come to fist with each other since I know words weren't bringing you together and I wanted to make sure neither of you get hurt...I...Son I..."

Naruto put his hands to his face and said "Don't...just...Nobody perfect...we all make mistakes...you need to worry about yourself and the twins. I'll be fine."

Kushina said "Fine..FINE..MY SON, MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD IS DYING AND YOU EXPECT ME TO ACCEPT YOUR FINE."

Naruto said "We all die mom. I'm a ninja, I could die on this mission, or the next, or come across some guy mugging a lady in an ally tonight on my way home and when I try to save her only to get killed by the guy who got a lucky shot in. I can accept that because it means that I died doing the right thing. Ninja are not suppose to grow old and die a slow painful death. We are to go quickly and silently and without a trace."

Kushina had tears in her eyes and said "But..."

Naruto said "But nothing mom. I'm not a little boy, I'm not a baby who needs protecting. You concieved me, and carried me and gave birth to me...that was your duty to me...I was born strong because of you and because of that I was able to grow up on my own thanks to you...now you have a duty to 2 others, they need you just as I did. It's your job to take care of them...and even if the baka over there did screw up he did what he had to. If it wasn't for him then I would have died when Kyuubi destroyed Konoha and if he took me and ran then I would be the son of a coward. He's maybe the yellow flash, but it's not because he's a coward. You did not fall in love with a coward, you fell in love with a hero mom so while I do think he should be made to pay by sleeping on the couch or floor while waiting on you hand and foot durring your pregnancy, you shouldn't hate him."

Kushina said "Then he should have used someone else."

Naruto said "Maybe...but could you stand to know that your husband would curse another with a fate like this only because he wasn't noble enough to give his own son first. We he still be the man you fell in love with then."

Kushina closed her eyes and turned her head away.

Naruto sighed and said "Don't do that...don't look at me like that because it's my life. None of you have the right to give me looks of pity because if it wouldn't of been for Kyuubi attacking Konoha most of you wouldn't have been born since most of you were concieved shortly after the Kyuubi attack because your parents were thankful they had each other still and wanted to show the other how much they loved each other. I don't pity myself because pity doesn't do anything but make others feel sorry for you and makes you feel even worse then you were before. I don't need your pity."

Kiba said "Dude, your cold."

Naruto frowned and said "No Kiba...just numb...we got a mission to prepare for. I'll get everything I was going to have you all get myself anyways. I'll see you all at the gates." as he shushined away.

Kakashi said "Well I guess he's right. Everyone meet at the gates at 7 am and don't be late." as he shushined away.

Sasuke snorts and said "He's one to talk." before stuffing his hands in his pockets and walking away.

One by one everyone left the room except for Minato and Kushina. Minato walked over and held her as she cried as he also began to cry.

Naruto appeared in front of the Wolf Claw weapon shop and frowned as he felt Tenten chakra was not there and he entered the store and Dustin said "Hello Naruto, how are you today."

Naruto said "Been better...I need to get some supplies for a big mission out of town. Can I have my kagebunshin get it because I need to get other things done as well."

Dustin said "Sure, will this be cash or credit."

Naruto said "Cash. Also I got some new seal templets for your store. My clones can explain them to you." as he created 10 clones and handed 2 scrolls and his wallet before he shushined away.

A little bit later Naruto appeared in the woods and walked in the direction of the cabin. When he got there he heard the sound of crying inside the cabin and he bit his lip and thought "What should I do."

The wind blew and the sound of snaping was heard and Naruto blinked and looked up just in time to scream as a huge tree branch fell and he tried to dive out of the way only to get pinned under the branch.

Tenten who was crying inside the cabin heard a scream outside the cabin and quickly wiped the tears off her face as she walked to the window and screame "NARUTO." as she saw Naruto pinned under a tree limb that was over 30 feet long and a foot wide.

As she exited the house she quickly ran to his side and said "Are you alright Naruto."

Naruto said "I can't move. My arms are pinned to my chest when I tried to protect my vitals."

Tenten frowned as she tried to lift the limb and said "What are you doing here." trying to keep Naruto and herself distracted.

Naruto said "I came to see you."

Tenten bit her lip and said "And what makes you think I want to see you."

Naruto frowned and said "I don't know...I guess I...I thought...I don't know what I was thinking." as he closed his eyes and tried to move his body.

Tenten said "It's to heavy for me to lift, even with chakra. Can you make any clones to help."

Naruto said "No, I used up most of my chakra earlier on a couple of special clones before I came here. I'm pretty much on fumes now."

Tenten stood up straight and said "Shit...what were so special that you used up most of your clones."

Naruto said "Battery seals for the mission tomorrow so everyone could have a better chance of surviving."

Tenten said "Why...WHY the hell do you have to do that."

Naruto asked "Do what."

Tenten said "Be so selfless...why do you have to go so far for others."

Naruto looked up at the sky and after a few moments said "So others would have what I couldn't...happiness...love...joy."

Tenten bit her lip and said "But you could have those things also...I care for you...I'm happy with you...I have joy in my life because of you."

Naruto who was still looking at the sky said "Look up...just do it...you see that cloud...it's up there all alone...that cloud is me...but I'm not alone...you see that blue sky...that's you...if we were together each day, the troubles that come with me would grow bigger and bigger until they consume the sky above them until the day my troubles became to big to handle and I would fall and leave you alone in the sky...'chuckles'...I think I can understand now why Shikamaru likes looking at the clouds so much...but you see, before I go out, I can give the world a little happiness like a spring shower, and from that shower the earth below will be filled with beauty as flowers and plants bloom and grow because of me...that is why I am so selfless...but also why I'm afraid to be with you."

Tenten said "I don't understand."

Naruto said "Because I don't want my problems to consume you. I know eventually your will age till night takes you and you leave this world...but before that I will have done left you alone having fallen somewhere alone the way...I'm not the only cloud in the sky...see, theres neji...and there Lee...and...wait, that is Lee."

Tenten who was looking up blinked and a shout of "Extreme LOTUS." as heard before a crash hit in the woods nearby.

Tenten gasped and said "I'll be back, don't go anywhere...oops, sorry, my bad." as Naruto sweatdropped and looked at the limb on his chest.

Tenten quickly ran in the direction the dust cloud was coming from and when she got there she saw Lee and Gai near a crater hugging and she quickly said "Lee, Gai-sensei, come quickly, I need your help." as she turned and began to run back to where Naruto was.

Gai and Lee who were about to hug blinked before running after Tenten.

When they got to where the cabin was both went wide eyed as they saw Naruto and Gai said "Quickly my youthful students, we must help our comrad in his hour of need." as he moved over picked up the limb himself and Lee and Tenten quickly moved Naruto out from under it.

Naruto breathed heavy for several seconds and said "Thanks."

Gai said "You are most welcome Naruto-kun but what caused such an unyouthful act. Did the tree lose some of it's youth."

Naruto blinked and Tenten said "Yeah, some of the limbs around here need cut down since they are old or too heavy. Thank you both for coming along win you did. I don't know how I would have gotten him out of there."

Gai stuck the nice guy pose and said "Think nothing of it my youthful student...but come Lee, are training is not over for the day and I am sure our youthful comrads have things they must also be doing. Let us run into the sunset." as a genjutsu of a sunset appeared and he took off running as did Lee.

Naruto said "I still haven't figured that one out."

Tenten said "No one has..." SMACK.

Naruto head hit the ground from Tenten punching him on top of the head.

Naruto said "oooohhh...swirly." as his eyes spun.

Tenten grabbed his feet and dragged him into the cabin.

In the Hokage office Kushina said "Reminds me of a caveman except in this case it's the cave woman." as she looked at Minato who was also on the ground with swirly eyes from where she beat on him.

When Naruto was able to see again he found himself on a bed with Tenten laying beside him holding him close and Tenten said "Just shut up and lay here. Your not going anywhere...EVER...and that's final."

Naruto smiled and said "Alright...you win."

Tenten smiled and said "Good boy. You might just make a good pet yet."

Naruto chuckled as did Tenten who looked up at him and said "I meant it...your not going to leave my side ever...I love you and I am going to cherish every day we have together as if it was our last."

Naruto asked "Are you sure."

Tenten flicked his nose and said "Bad boy, don't question master."

Naruto whose eyes crossed blinked a few times and the next moment Tenten found herself flipped where she was on the bottom and Naruto was hovering over her and looking into her eyes and said "I love you...and I'm sorry."

Tenten said "Just shut up and kiss me."

Naruto said "Yip yip." as he leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

In the Hokage office Kushina put the crystal ball away and wiped a tear from her eye and said "Our son has found happiness...Now come on, you are taking me out for dinner and you are going to cater to me until I get this feeling of helpless gone." as she got up and Minato quickly got up and opened the door and she stopped at the door and kissed him and said "I'm angry at you and I expect you to find some way to fix this mistake...but I still love you."

Minato said "I will dear...I'll make it up to you and Naruto...but what about the babies." as he looked at her stomach.

Kushina rubbed her stomach and said "They are a gift given to us...with a little help from heaven. They are our children just as much as Naruto is. Now come on, I want some chocolate cake and ramen."

Minato thought "At least it's better then the Sushi flavor Dango."
