Minato and Kushina had just stopped the 9 tailed fox from killing baby Naruto.

"It's my job as a father to die for his child," Minato said.

"It's my job too as his mother," Kushina replied.

"No, your job is to raise him, " Minato said.

"But Minato, with the fox being taken out of me, I will die. My body is too weak" Kushina cried.

Kushina saw Minato do a jutsu that he has never seen before. Then he touched her forehead.

"Kushina I love you but you need to be there for Naruto to help him. With this jutsu it will heal you but it will sometimes work fully. I wish it would work fast but I'm not as good as my mother with healing jutsus" Minato said.

Kushina then froze as crystal covered her body. He then kissed her one final time and used flying thunder god to put her in their room. The whole room was sealed so when a family member entered their room she would awaken.

Minato finished the sealing of the 9 tails in Naruto and died.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Over the years Kushina healed but was never awoken because no one has touched the house. So she waited for Naruto to come home.
-----------------------------------------------------------
They made it back to the village and reported to the Hokage.

As all members of team ten and Tsunade and Shizune came walking into his office.

"So Naruto I take it the mission went well" lord 3rd asked.

"Yes it did," Naruto smiled.

"Good to hear" lord 3rd replied.

"WHERE IS DANZO AND THE OTHER ELDERS I HAVE BUSINESS WITH THEM" Tsunade yelled in anger.

"They have been taken care of for too many years. I have let them walk over me. That had to stop so I had my new top Anbu crow end them." lord 3rd replied.

"They are lucky you granted them that kind of mercy but I am glad they're gone.

"Maybe so, " Lord 3rd replied.

"Well then I guess we should be going," Tsunade said.

"Welcome back Tsunade I'm glad You reunited with your grandson" lord 3rf said.

"Thank you lord third" Tsunade bowed.

Team ten went their ways Asuma left with Shikamaru. Ino and Naruto stayed with Tsunade and Shizune.

As they were walking down the street Ino spotted Sakura and she rushed to them. Ino seeing this she went to stop Sakura from doing something stupid .

"What do you want forehead?" Ino hissed.

Sakura stopped dead in her tracks.
"Ino I want to say I'm sorry for the way I acted towards you and Naruto. I am deeply sorry. I want to apologize for my actions. I want my best friend back. Sakura cried.

Ino thought about it for a minute then said '' that well and good Sakura but I'm not sure I can trust you yet. You have done some messed up things to my boyfriend and almost got him killed. I want my best friend back too. But your going to have to work for it for me to trust you again. If I think you're up to something though Sakura, that's it, we're done and I'm going to hurt you badly. I love Naruto with all of my being. I would die for him. I won't let anyone hurt him understood" Ino said.

"I understand Ino" Sakura said as she was still crying. She put her arms around Ino and hugged her. Crying in her shoulder.

"I'm glad you do Sakura" she hugged her back.

Sakura whipped her tears on her hands " I hope I find someone to love the way you and Naruto love each other. And I want to say congratulations on you engagement Ino I am really happy for you" Sakura said.

"Thank you Sakura I hope you do to but I got a lot of stuff to move in to my and Naruto's new house. So once were settled will have you over okay" Ino said.

"Sounds good see you around Ino" Sakura said.

"Okay see you" Ino said.
-----------------------------------------------------------

Ino caught up with them at her house as there were getting there stuff to move in to Naruto's parents house.

"I'm so excited so finally see are new house babe" Ino said.

"I know I hope the house is in good shape" Naruto said.

Naruto summoned a ton of shadow clones to carry and move his and Ino's stuff.
-----------------------------------------------------------
On the edge of the village

There was a large front yard three trees, a brick pathway, leading to a circular shaped patio space. The pathway led up to the house and came to form the front porch. on either side of the porch, surrounding the porch we unused flower beds.

The house itself was huge. It had to be a least four floors tall including the basement and on the top floor were three balconies.

First floor was the a big kitchen two bathrooms a huge dinning room and living room.

The second floor had a few bedrooms and his mother and fathers office and a huge training doju and two more bathrooms. On the top floor was a few bigger bedrooms and the sealed master bedroom.

As they were all checking out the the clones were putting stuff away. A few tried to open the door and the clones popped.

Naruto realizing what was happening made his way up with Ino and Tsunade in tow.

Tsunade saw that the door was sealed "Naruto put a little blood on the door handle and channel your chakra as you open the door" Tsunade said.

Naruto did just that and the door opened. The walked in and were shocked and what they saw.

There on the bed lay Kushina Naruto's mother in a crystal prison. They made there way over the the bed. The crystal started to crack.

Then it busted in millions of pieces and Kushina's eyes opened.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Kushina then sat up she noticed Tsunade standing there in shock.

"Tsunade is that you. Where's Naruto how old is he. How long was I a sleep.

Tsunade shook, her head "Kushina how are you here I thought you died with Minato when you sealed the fox"

"I was going to die but Minato did some crystal healing jutsu you created" Kushina said.

"The healing crystal Cryonics prison jutsu" Tsunade said.

"Not sure but where my baby Tsunade" Kushina asked.

"Ma-Mom" Naruto teared up.

Kushina turned to look at the boy and she realized she was out a lot longer then they thought she would be.

"Naruto baby " she reached out for him.

*************

Chapter 16: a mother anger / ready set chunin exams

"Ma-Mom" Naruto cried.

"My baby you're so big now how I missed you" Kushina cried.

She ran to her son and gave him a bone crushing hug.

"Mom, I really missed you. I cant believe you're here" Naruto said.

"I missed you too, you have gotten so big". She see Ino in the corner of her eye." Naruto, who is this" Kushina asked.

"Mom, this is Ino Yamanaka, my girlfriend and the woman I'm engaged to. I love her. Naruto said.

"Yamanaka wait for your Sabine's daughter right?" Kushina asked.

"Yes I am and I love you son very much" Ino said proudly.

"You are the spitting image of your mother. I am glad that my son has someone who loves him so very much. Welcome to the family group hug." Kushina said.

All four of them hugged them. Kushina asked the big question: how was your life growing up tell me everything" Kushina asked.

They spent the next few hours telling Kushina everything. So to say that she was pissed would be an understatement.

"THE VILLAGE DID WHAT TO YOU. OH THERE SO DEAD" Kushina yelled.

"Kushina stop this right now. There is a time and a place for this and when it's time we will handle it. But right now just be there for your son" Tsunade said.

Kushina started to relax a little bit then said "so why don't you guys unpack and ill make a big dinner for everyone"

So Kushina went down to make dinner for everyone. Well everyone else was impacted.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The next day Naruto and Ino went to meet up with there teams and Tsunade and Shizune went to check out the hospital. Kushina decided to pay a visit to a few people.

She made her way to the Hokage tower first. She asked his secretary if he was in.

"Yes the Hokage is in his office but he is in a meeting. You will have to come back later" the older woman spoke.

Kushina just turned and released a lot of KI at the woman. The woman then was quite.

Kushina walked to the door and took a deep breathe and kicked the double doors in and stormed in the room she released all her KI.

"YOU , YOU LEFT MY SON TO LIVE ON HIS OWN AT THE AGE OF 5 ARE YOU OUT OF YOU MIND. WHY DIDN'T YOU LET ONE OF OUR STUDENTS TAKE HIM IN. DO YOU KNOW ALL THE BAD THINGS THAT HAPPEN TO HIM. GOD IF NARUTO WOULD LET ME I WOULD KILL EVERY PERSON WHO EVER HURT HIM AND I WOULD DO IT SLOWLY. Kushina screamed.

After beating up the Hokage and a few of his Anbu and one jounin for getting in the way she made her way to one of her best friends' house Mebuki Haruno.

She knocked on the door and waited. When the door opened she saw a 13 year old girl with long pink hair and green eyes wearing a red dress answer the door.

"Hello little girl my names Kushina is your mother around"

"No shes out for ameeting but will be back soon. You said you were a friend of my mothers" Sakura said.

"Yes dear I have bin away for a long time but I'm back now and I am just waiting to catch up with Mebuki" Kushina said.

"Well if you like you can wait in here with me till shes back then i have to leave for a team meeting" Sakura said.

"That would be lovely and what is your name dear " Kushina asked.

"My name is Sakura Haruno".

"That's such a pretty name Sakura and your hair is cute too" Kushina said.

"Why thank you" Sakura said.

After have small talk for a few minutes the door open and Sakura got up to leave for her team meeting.

"Bye mom I have a team meeting i'll see you at dinner and your friend is waiting for you in the living room" Sakura said.

Sakura had left and Mebuki Haruno was confused.

"My friend, what does she mean? My friend is waiting in the living room, '' Mebuki said to herself.

As she walked in the living room her jaw dropped as she saw Kushina standing in her living room.

"Hello Mebuki hows one of my so-called best friends is doing " Kushina said sarcastically.

"I'm good but how are you here I thought you died" Mebuki said.

Minato used a jutsu to keep me alive so I could be with our son and yesterday I finally meet my son after so long and what do I find but one of my so-called best friends has hurt my son. You tried to kill him last month and I want to know why, '' Kushina said.

" Your son died the night of his birth. That thing there is a demon and the" Mebuki was saying as Kushina punched her in the ribs.

"That was 3 ribs, call my baby that again and you will have a matching pair on the other side. Now TELL ME WHY YOU TRY TO KILL BY BABY" Kushina yelled.

"I told you why. If you can't see what that thing really is that your lying to yourself IT'S A DEMON AND NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY OR DO TO ME THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE" Mebuki Haruno yelled.

Kushina beat her within an inch of her life. " The reason you're alive right now is because of your daughter. I wont kill the mother of a child that still needs her mother. But this is last warning: stay away from my baby ."

Kushina left Mebuki in a blood mess but she was alive she called Tsunade to come heal Mebuki.

Then she headed for the Yamanaka flower shop to visit another friend.

She walked in side the bell rung.

"Hello, welcome to the Yamanaka flower shop how can I help you" Sabine said without looking up.

Kushina saw this and smirked. " what do you get for a friend you haven't seen in 13 years"

Sabine then looked up and saw her best friend. " How are you here?" Sabin asked, confused.

"Long story but I just wanted to say thank you for helping Naruto Sabine. You and your husband really are like family and I am glad your daughter is there for my baby boy. I definitely approve of her" Kushina said.

"It's no big deal you and Minato would have done it and more for Ino. So I'm glad your back i missed you."sabine said.

"I missed you too, let's go get tea and catch up, let Inoichi watch the shop" Kushina said.

"Sounds great dear, watch the shop I'm going out with Kushina" Sabine said.

The women left and Inoichi shook his head. "I knew she would find a way back. I almost pity anyone who tried to hurt that kid.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Ino and Naruto walked up to their training ground 10 where Shikamaru was waiting.

"So did you guys hear that a crazy woman with red hair is going around beating people up?" Shikamaru said.

"No, I didn't hear about it" Naruto said.

Just then Asuma showed up. He had a black eye.

"Hey guys I want you guys to know I signed you up for the chunin exams. They will be taken next month. I know you guys can do it.

"You can count me out no way I'm doing that," Shikamaru said.

"Yes you will or I will tell your mother Shika" Ino said.

"God you're so troublesome but I guess I'll do it so I don't get yelled at by my mother" Shikamaru said.

"Sweet, we're going to Kick-Ass, " Naruto said.

"Asuma sensei, how did you get the black eye?" Ino said.

"Your mother in law has a strong right hook, Ino" Asuma said.
