The next morning Naruto awoke to the sound of someone knocking and he blinked and thought "OK, what the hell is up with waking up to someone knocking on my door all the time." as he got up and went to the door and blinked as he saw Team Gai standing there and he frowned and said "Can I help you." as he glanced at Tenten a moment.

Tenten walked in and said "Get dressed. I'll explain on the way."

Naruto fronwed and Gai said "Tenten, you shouldn't enter a person house so unyouthfully."

Naruto waved his hand and said "She can enter any way she pleases Gai-sensei...don't sit on the couch though." as he went to the bathroom.

Tenten asked as the bathroom door closed "Why."

Naruto voice was heard over the noise of the shower being turned on "I had guest who didn't have a place to stay last night so they crashed here...unfortinately by the noise that woke me up about 2 am they broke in my couch if you know what I mean."

Tenten blushed and walked to a closet and opened it and grabbed a chair out of the closet and Neji said "You seem pretty familiar with his apartment Tenten." as they heard the shower shut off.

Naruto voice came out of the bathroom and said "Of coarse she is...she's my wife after all."

All of team Gai's eyes widen at this and several shouts of WIFE were heard and Tenten glared at Naruto and said "I thought we were going to keep it a secret."

Naruto yawned as he came out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and made his way to the bathroom and Gai's eyes widen as he saw the ANBU tattoo and Naruto went to the bedroom and said "We were...except mom and dad are sort of pulling us out of the village the next couple of months. We are going to track down Jiraiya and Tsunade and bring them back before the Chunnin exams to help protect Konoha when Orochimaru attacks. Also we are going to run by and get your uncle to help us also from what mom and dad told me last night." as he walked back out dressed in his normal cloths.

Tenten frowned and said "Then you most likely already know why we are here then."

Naruto said "Not really. That's what's surprising me. Mom and dad told me that I had 3 days to get ready for the trip and that in the next 3 days I have to destroy the curse seal on Anko, give the new seal to the Hyuuga clan to replace the cage bird seal to unite the clan under one house, have the templetes made for the anti-rape seal so your dad can start selling them as well as the dressphere and the medical seal I created. As such they told me to not even go through the bullshit of heading to the accademy today since I won't be put on a team for now and be to be busy working on those. Since it's going to take me several long hours to do that I was sleeping in while I could before starting which is why I was confused when you guys showed up."

Tenten said "And why haven't I heard about this yet. I mean what if I didn't want to come." as she crossed her arms.

Naruto said "Truthfully, I don't know. They said they were going to talk to your dad and you this morning since they didn't leave gramps until nearly dark last night and since I couldn't find you when I came by I figure that they just were waiting till today to discuss it with you. Shock the hell out of me because I was expecting to head to the accademy and be put on a team with Sasuke and Sakura under Kakashi today."

Neji said "You should not fight against your fate, you can't free the Hyuuga branch house."

Naruto looked at Neji and said "Dude, didn't you hear about anything that happened yesterday. Hiashi already knows that he has no choice but to accept my seal because of the law the fire lord made before the Hyuuga clan ever joined Konoha. If they don't the entire branch house would become free and the main house will either be kicked out of the country or executed depending on if they activated that seal on anyone after they knew a new seal was designed. So in otherwords, your clan has no choice but to accept it and free your ass."

Gai seeing the shock look on Neji face said "Are you ready to go Naruto-san."

Naruto said "I am, but only if you tell me first where we are going."

Gai said "Yes, we are to escort you to the accademy where we are to meet Hokage-sama. I do not know what is to happen after that but hearing your youthful words I believe that my team will be redesigned with a new student today."

Naruto and Tenten frowned and Naruto said "Temp. student Gai-sensei. Tenten is still your student and will be most likely returned to your command once we return. It's just that Tenten's coming with us to train in her family jutsu as well as to meet her uncle to get him to come aid Konoha for the up coming invasion which is why we are also tracking down Tsunade and Jiraiya of the Sannins to come back to Konoha to help defend it."

Lee asked "Invasion, what invasion."

Naruto sighed and said "Orochimaru has built his own village called the hidden sound. They are going to attack us durring the Chunnin exams. Possibly with Suna help depending on if Orochimaru has already assassinated the Kazekage or not. If he has then Suna has been compromised."

Gai said "Are you sure it is wise for you to be speaking about this so casually Naruto."

Naruto said "Those who don't follow the rules are trash but those who abandon thier comrads are worse then trash. Jiji hasn't classified info about it as a secret and if I can save the lives of Konoha ninja and civilians then I'll personally tell every person in the village to prepare them so it might save thier lives."

Gai said "I can see my cool hip rivals teachings in you."

Naruto said "Something like that."

Gai said "Well I believe that we should continue on our mission, lets go Naruto-san."

Naruto nods and offered his hand to Tenten who took it and stood up and they quickly left.

When they got to the accademy a person screaming could be heard as the group saw Mizuki on the ground with his arms pulled behind him and a foot on his spine pushing forward and Kushina was the person who had her foot on his spine and arms pulled.

Naruto sweatdropped and said "Mom...what are you doing."

Kushina turned and said "Morning son. This traitor here was planning to kill you by rigging an exploding tag on your seat in the classroom so I'm teaching him a lesson about what happens to those who try and hurt my son."

Naruto frowned and said "You shouldn't get upset in your condition mom. Just do this." as he drew back and kicked Mizuki in the balls making the other guys wince.

Kushina said "Damn, and I was having fun." as she pouted.

Naruto walked back over to team Gai and said "Shall we." causing everyone who watched what just happen to sweat drop.

Tenten said "Are you bi-polar now."

Naruto said "Not really. I just really don't give a damn right now."

Tenten frowned and grabbed his arm and yanked him inside the building.

Once they got inside Iruka classroom the Sandaime said "So you have finally arrived Naruto. I expect you to be on time next time."

Naruto said "Sorry I'm late, my parents got lost on the road of life last night and I had to take a detour and took the long way around."

Gai said "Damn you Kakashi and your cool hip attitude infecting young Naruto."

Both Minato and Kushina were bright red and the Sandaime had an eyebrow twitch and just then a swirl of leaves appeared and Kakashi appeared and said "Sorry I'm late Hokage-sama, I got lost on the road of life."

Naruto said "Blond, blue, pink, brunette, or redhead."

Kakashi gave an eye smile and the Sandaime whose eyebrow was twitching even more said "As I was saying, you should be on time next time."

Naruto said "Were you talking to me or him, because he was later then me."

The Sandaime slapped his head and said "I give up."

Naruto said "What's new grandfather. Hey Uncle Asuma, jiji tell you that dad over there is really your half brother and I'm your nephew."

Asuma whose face was neutral said "The Sandaime informed me..." as he smoke his cigerette.

Naruto said "Cool, what the hell you looking at." as he saw all the wide eyed looks the class had.

The next moment Naruto face met the floor as Tenten hit him on the head and said "Quit being an asshole."

Naruto mummbled "Yes dear."

Tenten crossed her arms with a smirk on her face and the Sandaime thought "So it's true." and said "Anyways, the reason we are here today is to assign teams. Due to recent events I have decide to change up the current team 9 to balance the teams out. The teams are as follows...Team 7 is Naruto Uzumaki..Tenten Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha under Hatake Kakashi."

Kiba said "What the hell. If your his grandfather how come his last name is Uzumaki and if his father is the Yondaime how come it's not Namikaze. Why is her last name the same as his."

Naruto said "Shut the hell up Kiba, she's my wife and since the bastard right there put my father in the orphanage instead of raising him then my dad grew up thinking he was an orphan and when he married my mom took her clan name which is Uzumaki." as everyone who didn't know went wide eyed.

The Sandaime closed his eyes and said "Before I continue, Minato, Kushina, I agree with the mission you detailed with me yesterday but you are taking all of Team 7 with you including Kakashi and Sasuke. That is non negotiable. Now Team 8 is Kiba, Shino, and Hinata...Team 9 is Neji, Lee, and Sakura, and team 10 is Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji. Kakashi, Sasuke, Minato is the client for your mission and you can get the details from him." as he shushined away.

Kakashi said "It's good to see you again Minato-sensei...but how are you alive. I had heard the rumors but I hadn't known for sure."

Kushina said "Even when you passed out last night when you saw us on our way to Naruto apartment."

Kakashi said "I had a very long mission I had just return from so I wasn't sure if fatigue had made me imagine it or not."

Minato said "In 3 days, I want you and Sasuke to meet us at the south gate at 7 am and I mean 7 am Kakashi. This will be a long term search and retrieval mission lasting until most likely the Chunnin exams. I want you to help Sasuke pack everything he will need in multi-purpose storage scrolls between now and then. Once we are on the road I will explain in more detail about our mission. Naruto, you already know what to do and I'll inform Dustin. You can inform Tenten."

Naruto nods and said "See you in 3 days." as he grabbed Tenten hand and both disappeared in a swirl of leaves shocking everyone.

Shikamaru said "Troublesome when Sakura said "Wait, how is Naruto married to Tenten and why her."

Kushina said "They been married a little over a week now and have been dating for almost 5 months secretly. Now if you will excuse me, I have to prepare." as she left in a swirl of water.

Minato walked over to Asuma and said "Can I talk with you later today Asuma."

Asuma said "How long did you know we were related."

Minato said "Not until after I died. I'll explain more privately..say, tower in 44, 5pm."

Asuma nods and Minato said "Good, Cya." as he shushined away.

When Tenten and Naruto appeared in the woods Tenten turned and punched Naruto in the face and put her hands on her hips and said "What the hells going on Naruto."

A swirl of water caught her attention before Naruto could say anything as Kushina appeared out of the water and Kushina said "Oh, looks like I got here just in time. Have you told her anything yet."

Naruto scowled and said "No mom. I don't know how to explain it...I need some time alone." as he left in a swirl of leaves.

Tenten frowned and said "What is going on godmother."

Kushina sighed and said "After you and Naruto got your other bodies, Minato and I had a visitor in the seal...the Shinigami."

Tenten eyes widen and asked "What?"

Kushina said "Yeah...he came to collect our souls...mine, Minato's, Naruto's and yours."

Tenten paled and said "What happened...why did he come for our souls...my soul."

Kushina said "Basically, we broke a shit load of rules...Minato cheated the Shinigami by not giving him all his soul to seal the Kyuubi. The Kyuubi soul was released from one of Naruto bodies which is owned by the Shinigami as part of his payment for sealing the fox. When both of your other bodies were sealed in the whirlpool seal you both were considered dead and then switching bodies for the other bodies killed them so those 2 should be dead...Naruto soul is owed to the Shinigami as part of the price of the sealing of Kyuubi...and now so is yours."

Tenten said "What...but why. I mean none of this was our idea...really."

Kushina said "I know...but there were other rules that were broken...like these." as she rubbed her belly before she said "The dead can not create life. Life is a plus, death is a minus. Death can take away from life to create more death but a minus can't make a plus."

Tenten bit her lip and asked "What's going to happen to us."

Kushina said "Naruto is immune to certian laws because all this going on is being done to him without his choice of cossent...you on the other hand chose to join and we took steps to involve you...Minato and I were able to make a compromise with the Shinigami though. Orochimaru is a key that will reset the world again. Once that happens Naruto will be sent to another reality...the real reality...but..this time though Minato and I won't be coming with him. Our deal with the Shinigami is that Minato will summon the Shinigami to take Orochimaru soul before I have these babies. Orochimaru has been breaking the rules and cheating death so we offered Orochimaru soul in exchange for giving you the same pardon Naruto has in these reality jumps. When reality shifts again you and Naruto will be inside the bodies of the Naruto and Tenten of that world while the soul of the Naruto and Tenten from that world just like this one is consumed by the Shinigami as payment for your new lifes."

Tenten gasped and covered her mouth and said "But..."

Kushina grabbed Tenten by the arms and said "Listen to me...You are all Naruto has...Naruto has to stop this madness. He can't do it alone. You and him have a bond that unites you both in life and death...if you both don't succeed then the other Naruto and Tenten won't exist in the first place. Our world won't exist in any way, shape, or form...you are the future and the past of our world Tenten. Even if you haven't realised it yet, you are the mother of the future kunoichi of the world while Naruto is the father of all the future Shinobi of the world. He is the Six realm sage and you are his wife. You want to prove kunoichi can be just as strong as men...well here is your chance...You want to be a strong kunoichi like your idol Tsunade-sama...well guess what, she's your GREAT grandaughter...just like me..I wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you. All my ancestors would not exist if it wasn't for you...Naruto wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you...and you wouldn't exist if it wasn't for him. He is your Adam and you are his Eve...He is your earth and you are his heaven. Together you are the world."

Tenten was shocked as she heard Kushina words and Tenten said "I...I didn't know...I..."

Kushina said "I know, you didn't realize it...none of us did...do you think I realised when I gave birth to Naruto he would become the child of prophe...cy." as all color drained from her face.

Tenten asked "What's wrong."

Kushina shook her head and said "The Toads...they have a prophecy about a child who would either save the world or destroy it...Naruto is that child..."

Tenten said "Your starting to freak me out godmother."

Kushina shook her head to clear her thoughts and said "Listen Tenten...I know this is a lot to put on your shoulders...which is why I want you to forget it."

Tenten screamed "WHAT...you want me to forget it...forget my husband." as she got an angry look on her face.

Kushina said "No, I mean forget about everything else going on in the world...you create your own destinies. If Naruto is to become the Six realm sage he will do it...if not, he won't. You maybe destined to become the mother of all kunoichi...but you may not also be...we really don't know what is going on. All we have is the word of someone who looks like you and Naruto claiming to be these people. Since we know an enemy is controlling things through genjutsu that means that the whole thing with those future you and Naruto could be all a trap to weaken you."

Tenten frowned and said "I didn't think about that."

Kushina pulled Tenten into a hug and said "Listen Tenten...you have no idea how proud you have made me...your mother would never shut up about how proud of you she would be if she was here today...You are a beautiful young woman. Smart, strong, and caring. I can see why my son fell for you...I'm going to miss you both when this is over." as she released Tenten.

Tenten bit her lip to hold back the tears in her eyes and asked "What is going to happen."

Kushina smiled sadly and said "Minato and I won't be around for much longer. We only have until the Chunnin exam finals to find Orochimaru and Minato to summon the Shinigami to take his soul. After that the Shinigami said he was going to break these genjutsu on you both and take you to the real world...back to yesterday. When you wake up that day you will have the bodies of every you from the different realities sealed on a seal the Shinigami is going to place on you just like the one on Naruto. Naruto can make it where nobody can see it since he's done that for himself. That seal is like a watchdog. It is going to let the Shinigami know where and when you are no matter what so when you die he can come for your soul and make sure that you end up going where you should."

Tenten closed her eyes and asked "Am I going to hell."

Kushina said "No...Your going to limbo...All of us are. The Shinigami is going to have Kami review our case and decide our fate. While Kami decides our fate we will exist in a place that souls who can't easily be placed get put. When Minato summons the Shinigami to take Orochimaru soul, Minato, me, and both the babies will be taken there where I will be able to have these children...then when you both die, hopefully of old age after giving me lots of grandchildren, you both will come there to live with us until our fates our decided."

Tenten frowned and said "So should Naruto and I try our best to be as good as possible to help our case before Kami."

Kushina shook her head and said "No...that would pretty much damn you to hell. That would be you doing what you thought you should to gain favor with the judge and wouldn't be the real you. The best thing you can do is live your life the way you want it. Once you die if you live a good life the way you wanted it and not the way you think Kami wants it then you would be honestly judged by that, but if you live how you think Kami would vote good for you then you would be comititing a sin of doing it to save yourself and that wouldn't be good."

Tenten asked "How do you know that."

Kushina said "Your husband asked the same question to save you...he even offered to take your place if you were to be sent to hell...he loves you that much."

Tenten said "Wait, he knows all this already."

Kushina said "We showed him yesterday using the whirlpool before he was summoned to the council chambers. That was why he killed Danzo...it's also what shoved a kunai up his ass today. He hates himself right now. He hates himself because he's hurt you."

Tenten asked "What...he didn't hurt me."

Kushina said "He saw it in your eyes when you admitted to your dad about you may not be his Tenten. That hurt you to know that the dad you had isn't the one you were born to...he also hurt you by possibly damning your soul to hell because of getting close to him."

Tenten pursed her lips together and said "He's pushing everyone away...isn't he...that's why he's acting like a jerk."

Kushina nods and asked "Can you blame him...to finally have his parents in his life and accept them and learn that they are going to be taken from him...to find out the only person to care for him without doing it out of pity, guilt, or duty to us is going to be possibly punished because of him."

Tenten closed her eyes and Kushina said "That is why I am begging you to save him...save him from himself. You showed me the reason you first started to fell in love with him is his faith in himself. In this clearing you saw as he was nearly destroyed thanks to that bastard Mizuki...why do you think I was hurting him when you arrived. He could have destroyed the Naruto that you fell in love with...the one who you know more then anyone else...the one only you know of...this is the same thing...Iruka may have helped him some but you saw his memories of the night after he got home where he thought he was destined to be alone because of Kyuubi...it was you who saved him when you entered his life." as she got on her knees and said as she bowed "Please...save him again." as the tears she fought to hold back began to fall.

Tenten who was shocked felt Kushina sorrow in her heart and said "Please get up godmother...I'm his wife. I would have saved him even if you hadn't of asked me to."

Kushina slowly stood up wiping the tears from her face and whispered "Thank you."

Tenten sighed and said "My vow to Naruto was real...even if in this timeline our marriage isn't legal I still love him and consider him my husband. I made a promise to be his strength and he promised to be mine...I just wish he would have told me what was going on."

Kushina giggled slightly and said "He get's that from his father...it's one of the reason I fell for the baka. He's so selfless, willing to sacrifice everything for others...but when he has his own problems he tries to hide it and hold it in...but he can't hold it in...it reflects in his life...I sometimes joked around saying when Minato had something troubling him it was like he had male pms...I can see the same thing is happening to Naruto now...the only way I found to help Minato is to push and push until he finally breaks down and tell me what is wrong...he fights, he tries to push back, and tries to ignore the problem or distracts me by changing the subject or starting a fight...but he's a guy, he may have pms but there is no way a guy will ever be a bigger bitch then we can be. It's what makes us special."

Tenten giggled as she saw the look on Kushina face and Kushina said "But that's what works for Minato and me...Naruto is a lot like his father...you are his strength...but you are also his weakness...if something comes up that he believes is a danger to you he will protect you any way he can. Your going to have to prove to him that you can take care of yourself and that you here to save him...he's strong physically...but emotionally he's as fragile as glass being dropped...as his wife and a woman in general, you are going to have to be the one to catch him before he hits the ground and shatters. I know sometimes glass can fall and not break...but how many times are you willing to risk something as precious as him to being dropped before he's destroyed forever."

Tenten sobered up at Kushina words and said "Why are you telling me this."

Kushina smiled and said "Men don't understand woman...physically men are stronger then us...but then why were women created from a males rib...the answer is becuase we are not here to be thier physical strength. We are here to be thier emotional strength. That is why we were created by a bone on the inside of a man used to protect them...women were created to protect men emotionally...I'm telling you this so you know and understand your duty as a woman, a wife, and someday a mother. Your father did a great job raising you...but there are some things that a man can not understand or able to tell...this is one of those things."

Tenten said "You make it sound like we are weaker then them."

Kushina said "It's easy to heal from being cut buy one of these." as she held up a kunai "Physical strength isn't really something to brag about...but a woman can cut a man in ways no physical weapon can. We can destroy a man with a look or a word and they could be destroyed forever and the wounds we cause take a lot longer to heal then any physical weapon. Some never do heal. You have that power over Naruto. Naruto will be physically stronger then you...but like what is happening here, he can be destroyed emotionally so easily. In your relationship with him you are his strength and weakness as he is yours. Your a strong and proud woman...my son can be a bit stubern and hard headed at times...but you both are all the other has...that is why we are going on this training trip, Minato and I are going to spend time with you both, teaching you things that we think can help you in the life you both have in front of you. Sometimes it will be about combat and training, and other times it will be about love, loss, and life like this. These are the things that define who Minato and I are, these lessons are the ones that we wish to teach you, so that way you can teach them to your children and they thiers."

Tenten rubbed her head as she was emberrased and Kushina said "You picked that up from spending time with Minato and I after you were born."

Tenten stopped rubbing her head and Kushina said "Well that's all I came to say. I still have to talk with your father about you leaving so see you later and remember, we leave in 3 days." as she shushined away.

Tenten looked at where Kushina was a moment and thought "I think I understand now what you were saying...thank you for stopping me from making a mistake...now where can you be Naruto, we need t TALK."

Naruto was sparing in the woods behind the Hokage monument when a kunai destroyed a kagebunshin and Tenten appeared quickly grabbing the sword that was dropped and attacked Naruto.

As both began to battle each other Tenten said "Talk."

Naruto said "Huh..about what."

Tenten said "What shoved a 3 foot kunai up your ass. Your starting to act like Neji. If I wanted someone who would be emo I would have married him instead of you."

Naruto scowled and said "Maybe you should have."

Tenten eyes widen as she heard this.

The next moment Naruto was getting his ass handed to him by Tenten who was fighting to take limbs off. As Naruto ducked and lossed haf the spikes on his head he flipped away and said "What the hell Tenten." in a shock voice as he saw his hair on the ground

Tenten said "How DARE you say that to me...do you know how much that hurt me." as she glared at him.

Naruto frowned and thought over a moment what he said and said "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, it's just."

Tenten who had crossed her arms said "It's just what...you are going to tell me what the hell gave you male pms or I am going to kick your ass all over this mountain."

Naruto sighed and said "Did mom tell you about the Shinigami...about what's going to happen."

Tenten said "Yeah and..."

Naruto blinked and said "And what...doesn't it upset you about what the Shinigami said...that you..."

Tenten said "Will be just fine...I'm not some weak little girl who needs to be protected Naruto. I'm a kunoichi and I can take care of myself and deal with the consequence of my decisions. I'm not worried about what happens later...you talk to Neji about fate and yet here you are thinking you have to accept this fate or that. We decide our own fate, isn't that what you told Neji. Are you being a hypocrite."

Naruto said "No but..."

Tenten said "No buts...Now I'm not going to worry about the future. In the words of the man I married, the future can kiss my ass. I'll make my own future...now I am wondering where the hell the man I married is."

Naruto said "I'm right here."

Tenten said "No your not...if you were then you wouldn't have ran away like a little pussy to go have his little emo party. He would have come to me and told me what the hell cut off his balls and turned him into a woman with pms."

Naruto looked down and said "I'm sorry Tenten I..."

Tenten said "Just shut up...you hurt me a minute ago when you said I should of married Neji...I love you damn it Naruto but I'm not going to be treated the way you are trying to treat me. I am your wife, your companion and your equal. You are my strength and I am yours. Remember our vows to each other...now you either shape up and start acting like the man I married instead of the pussy who came up here to hide or I am going to show you who the biggest bitch on this mountain is and kick your ass all over it."

Naruto said "You think you can kick my ass."

Tenten took a stance and said "Yeah, I do."

Naruto took one as well and said "Your ass is mine."

Tenten said "We already know that...but were not talking about sex."

Both got a smirk on thier face and Naruto smirk softened and said "I love you Tenten."

Tenten said "And I you Naruto...just please talk to me and tell me what is bothering you to help you deal with it from now on...that's my job. Why else do you think women were originally created from a mans ribs. We are here to protect you on the inside."

Naruto smiled softly and said "I see...I'll try to do better in the future then."

Naruto blocked the strike from Tenten who said "Good." as they both began to spar.
