Hiruzen felt twenty years older, which is saying something because he felt like an old goat. HE had just walked into the village with his student in tow when he was surrounded by AVALANCHE operatives, they informed him they had been told to wait for the Hokage and his student and bring them to the hospital immediately. When they arrived there Hiruzen was hit with a curve ball, Kitsuchi the Ogrelord was there and he was not happy.

"Kitsuchi, I see you arrived while we were gone. I apologize for the wait; we hurried as fast as we could. How is her condition?" Kitsuchi scoffed and eyed the Sanin up and down; Tsunade grew a tick mark on her brow and raised a fist.

"See something you don't like idiot?" Kitsuchi scoffed.

"A Sanin, what a load of crap. I'm leaving with Lord Hokage; your only job is to heal the wounded from the Chunin exams, including my daughter." Kitsuchi left the room leaving Hiruzen and Tsunade.

"Remind me why I came back sensei?" Hiruzen coughed into his hand.

"Because your apprentice left several years ago to come to the village and help while you wallowed around in self pity. Now I have a meeting to attend, I will send Shizune to come help, please don't kill her, she is one of my best ANBU agents." Hiruzen left the room with a snap of his fingers leaving behind a medium build ANBU Black-Op member in his wake. The two stood there in stunned silence as Tsunade enveloped the masked woman in an almost bone crushing hug.

"Shizune you idiot, I worried about you so much! Where were you? What have you been doing? Why did you leave?" The ANBU member removed her hummingbird mask and smiled to her teacher softly.

"Mom, I left because I learned that the Uchiha clan was almost wiped out, there was an event on the same night that has become an S-class secret. Let's just say many people were hurt and even more dead. I also found out that Kushina's son was alive, and you know she was my best friend growing up before we left. So I came back as a favor to watch over her son in a special ANBU division developed the night of those killings. Blackwatch, a taskforce designed to watch over Naruto Uzumaki and to make sure the being that infected him never escapes, and if it does terminate it." Tsunade nodded and stroked the back of Shizune's head softly and nuzzled her cheek.

"I missed you so much, my precious little girl." Shizune nodded and smiled widely.

"Now, let's get to work, shall we?" Tsunade nodded and left to assemble an SS for the surgery on Kurotsuchi.

"ANBU FETCH NARUTO UZUMAKI ASAP!" Hiruzen roared to his subordinates. He almost couldn't take this anymore, what they were suggesting was preposterous! Naruto and his fiancé live in Iwagakure while Han and Roshi come and stay in Konohagakure?! This couldn't stand, maybe Naruto could somehow change this man's mind. In a minute Naruto was in the room, his arm freshly released from its cast, now wrapped in a brace and bandage wrap to keep it immobile while the rest of the bone fully heals.

"What's up old man?" Hiruzen's eyes narrow and Naruto gulps, this isn't his grandfather figure in front of him, but the legendary God of Shinobi.

"Genin Naruto, you are here for your council, not a frivolous visit with an old friend. Kitsuchi here brings news from Iwagakure. They have decided that if we want the treaty to stand we would have to send you and Kurotsuchi to Iwagakure to stay indefinitely. That is completely out of the question am I right?" Naruto sighed softly and gave a weak smile.

"I love Konoha grandpa; I love it with all my body. However my heart and soul belong to Kurotsuchi, I am bound to her. If Iwa is where she is bound to go, I will accompany her. I will never abandon her that is a promise." Hiruzen's heart sank he couldn't just let Naruto go, not just because he loved him like a grandson but because of his status as the holder of the nine tailed fox spirit. This is a dangerous game Iwa is playing, and Hiruzen couldn't let this go on.

"ANBU, fetch me Danzo and the Elders. We need to convene, I suggest you and Naruto go to the hospital Kurotsuchi's surgery will be happening right about now Kitsuchi. When you come back we will have a definitive answer for you." Kitsuchi nodded and led the way to the hospital with Naruto. In the instant the door closed it reopened and Homura and Koharu entered the room, Hiruzen wondered what was taking Danzo so long but he didn't have to wait long. Out of a dark corner Danzo slowly appeared and walked out to the other three.

"Danzo, Homura, Koharu, I need your help." The three nodded, out of the three Danzo was closest to Hiruzen. Homura and Koharu they were his teammates yes, but Danzo was the closest thing to a brother Hiruzen ever had and he held Danzo's opinion above all others.

"What is the matter Hiruzen?" Hiruzen sighed sitting in his chair rubbing his sinus cavities.

"We have a problem; the treaty with Iwagakure might fall through. They have seen fit to say that our village is too dangerous for their princess to reside in. In the last year she has been in several high class incidents and they fear the next will be her death. They are willing to send us Roshi and Han, their own human sacrifices for Naruto and Kurotsuchi." Homura immediately cried out in defiance but Koharu gently touched his shoulder.

"Why should we? These incidents were outside our control, how are we to blame?" Danzo stepped forward and bowed softly to his friend.

"If I may Hiruzen?" Hiruzen nodded and motioned for Danzo to continue.

"I request that Blackwatch to be gone with them, we can not afford to lose Naruto, or let that being out. This is my only exception to letting him leave. This is my reasoning why, one Naruto we all know is a free spirit, he will go where he pleases as long as Kurotsuchi is there or his team. Naruto would be a flight risk, and I imagine Iwa said if he didn't war would be declared, am I correct?" Hiruzen nodded, Homura spoke up.

"Hiruzen, we can't just let the fourth's legacy go like this! Minato and Kushina would never allow this to happen!" Hiruzen raised his hand to silence him, Homura seethed.

"I understand my friend, I am in the same waters as you. Koharu, you have yet to give an opinion about the matter, care to speak?" Koharu smiled and nodded.

"Let the boy go, he has Konoha's best interest at heart. He is the embodiment of the will of fire. Konoha is his home, Kurotsuchi or not, and if war broke out he would find a way to benefit and hinder both sides. His loyalty is to his heart and his conscious, I say we should let him go and see what events unfold in the future." Hiruzen sighed and nodded his head, he waved the two elders away but Danzo stayed. Danzo laid a hand on Hiruzen's shoulder as he stared out the windows behind his friend.

"Don't worry, one of my best is with him at all times, whether he knows or not that is the true question. Kaname will not fail us." Hiruzen nodded softly feeling himself aging faster.

"I just don't know what to do, my duty conflicts with my personal feelings, in this situation I would default to your decision, but you have already stated it. When Kitsuchi returns, I will-" An explosion rocked the village, Hiruzen looked out the window seeing a large rock golem standing in front of a toad. Hiruzen's eyes widened as he saw who was atop the toad.

"Minato."
