Interlude 1-The Namikaze Journey

In an estate manned by many Kage Bunshin's, performing set tasks and experiments, a bright flash of yellow light in the entrance hall, stole the attention of the Cleaning clone troop and continued to retain that attention, when the flash of light spat out three people, 2 of which were believed dead and the final one a baby, they were the lost members of the Uzumaki-Namikaze clan: Uzumaki Kushina, Namikaze Minato and their youngest child; Uzumaki-Namikaze Kasumi. After 2 minutes of staring, a clone designated C1 ordered, "C2, go to Hokage and tell Jiji, we've got visitors and bring a T&I team here, C3 disperse and notify the boss," causing both clones to do their respective task.

While in the second campsite of the teams 7 and 8, Naruto suddenly got noticely worried and the worry had shown visibly. Now in the Hokage tower, Sarutobi and an army of 5 Kage Bunshins were tearing a stack of paperwork, issued mostly by the civilians whom own a store that had always thrown Naruto out on his arse, when the door barreled open to reveal a Naruto smelling of cleaning products. A few minutes after the Naruto Clone, had barged threw the door, he yelled, "Jiji, someone just appeared in the bosses house, out of a bright yellow light," this caused the Sandaime Hokage to stiffen, before he clicked his fingers and ordered, "ANBU, Find Inoichi and have him meet me at the Namikaze estate," as soon as the agent appeared and then vanished in two seconds time.

Back in the Namikaze mansion, Minato and Kushina with Kasumi had just started to reorientate themselves, when they were met with several improvised Bo staff weapons fashioned from brooms and mops, each welded by what seemed to be a younger versions of Minato. "Hold it right there, I don't know who you are or how you got here, but Tou-san and Kaa-chan are dead, making your disguises useless," ordered the leader Naruto clone, as he then directed two other clone to restrain them and hold the baby, as they waited for the Hokage and Inoichi.

1 hour later, the Hokage and Inoichi had arrived at the front door of the estate with a contingent of ANBU, where Sarutobi then rapped his knuckles on the door and signaled their arrival to the inhabitants of the manor. Inside the manor, the leader of the cleaning clones heard the sound of knock at the front door and ordered, "C.4 get the door and if it is not the Hokage or Inoichi, then shut the door in their faces," to the said clone, as he balances his mop on the wall of the entrance hall and heads for the front door. 20 minutes after the clone had gone to the door, brought the return of Clone 4 with the Hokage and Inoichi, whom the 2 latters then spotted their reasons of summons.

At the same time in the underground network of tunnel, constructed and manned by: Danzo's ROOT ANBU, the ROOT commander himself, was busy executing his team of failed hunters, when they returned empty handed and carrying bad news. 30 longs minutes later, Danzo had just finished the last member and was now cleaning off all the blood (from the sword), before he then orders, "ROOT, clean up this mess and prepare the bodies for Kekkei Genkai harvest," in his emotionless voice, as he thinks of where his prisoners would have escaped to.

(A.N. I always thought that Danzo was the types that will always covert the Bloodlines and rare skills, which leads him to kidnap those will said powers)

Back in the Uzumaki – Namikaze estate, where the 2 summoned people are brought out of their daze, by the Lead cleaning clone snapping his fingers and Sarutobi then said, "Alright Naruto-kun (drawing the attention of Minato and Kushina), you can continue your duties here and leave us to them," before clicking his fingers, summoning his ANBU guards, to keep an eye on the captured individuals and let the Naruto army to finish up with their cleaning, while Inoichi then turns his attention to Minato and started the interrogation.

The interrogation, began with Inoichi performing a mind walk on Minato to glean any and all information, that would pertain to an invasion force and failing that, see if they're suicide bombers or saboteurs, and when he does not find those, he'll then go deeper, finding what he looking there. Back outside of the mindscape, Sarutobi was now verbally questions to Kushina while she was under the effects of a Shinjitsu terā no Fuin, which had being developed by Naruto, and that aloud the Hokage to get the true truth.

Taimusukippu no Jutsu:

It had taken 4 hours, but after Inoichi and Sarutobi had finished their interrogation methods on their interviewee, when they then switched with each other to perform their methods on the other person, which yielded the same result, these to two people, were: Namikaze Minato and his wife Uzumaki-Namikaze Kushina, whom were the parents (D.N.A donors) of the test tube born child Kasumi (A.N Danzo her cultivated into a test tube [you know the ones usually shown in human cloning SCI-FIs] for the of allowing him the alter her easier) and they were now eager to the see how their was, but they were disappointed when they found out he was with his team on an introductory C-ranked mission outside of the village.

5 hours after the Namikaze family was given the all clear by Hiruzen and Inoichi, a blacksmith clone of Naruto then enters the main hall where the Sandaime was sitting and talking to Minato and Kushina, "Jiji, the boss has sent a request of back up," as he cuts in while handing the Hokage, "It turns out that their mission was miss-ranked and it had been A-ranked," he continues, as both Hokages then read the scroll and after Hiruzen had finished the scroll, he began to think of whom would be the best to send, as it would likely that they would be up against a Jonin level Kiri shinobi, but Sarutobi was the one to make that decision, because Minato places his hand on his should and response, "I'll go, Kushina can care for Kasumi," before disappearing to his room to pack, while Kushina nods and shouts, "Be careful."
