...

Kushina thanked the Raikage's assistant Mabui as she handed her a glass of water. Kushina took a sip, before turning back to the Raikage.

"Ready to continue? You had just told me about the ninja following you, and you told...Naruto was it? To run. What happened next?"

Kushina nodded and continued with her story.

Flashback

Kushina stood at the ready; she would not let these assholes take her and her son captive to be used by Danzo. Minato told her the horrible things Danzo had done; he had never liked the man. These were his ninja that jumped down in front of her.

6 of them jumped down in front of Kushina while the last 2 tried to shoot past her to go after Naruto.

Kushina's eyes widened, they were going after her son. Her chakra chains immediately shot out of her back, shooting into the paths of the ninja. They glared at her before jumping down in front of her. Kushina sighed slightly in relief they recognized her as the threat and weren't going to go after Naruto.

She sighed and drew her red tinted katana from a seal on her arm, it was one of the few weapons she had with her at the moment. She held the katana in her hands and set herself. She charged forward disappearing from sight. The first ninja she slashed at, dodged her and she shot a chakra chain out of her hand, the chain shot through the man and drug him back towards her, she slashed her Katana through his neck and decapitated him. His head rolled on the ground as she then turned her body blocking another strike with her blade. Spinning the sword and cutting his chest. She cursed as she felt a combination wind and fire jutsu coming at her. She jumped back and cursed as three giant earth walls grew up around her. She couldn't get out of the way, she was going to take the hit head on.

Kushina channeled water chakra, going through hand seals, "Water style: Great Water Wall!" Kushina shouted and used a mass of chakra to create water using the moisture in the air and the wall shot up. It shot up just in time to save her skin.

Kushina charged out of the steam and stabbed the closest one to her; she was a kunoichi that had black hair. Kushina kicked her off the blade and brought it up blocking another strike. The Root ANBU were starting to realize what kind of threat she really was. They all backed away slightly reforming, and surrounding her. Kushina hadn't even broken a sweat.

"Leave now while I will still let you all live. You are no match for me, I have already killed 3 of you and I haven't even broken a sweat." Kushina told them.

"The fact that you are asking means we shouldn't just leave." One of the ANBU said

emotionlessly.

Kushina sighed and flung her arm like she was throwing something at the one that had just spoken. A chakra chain shot out of her hand shooting towards him, it stabbed through his stomach surprising him, Kushina yanked back towards herself, he shot forward towards her, as she charged. She met him with a clothesline and he flipped landing on the ground hard. Kushina ducked another attack, spinning her sword and driving it through the man on the ground's heart.

She pulled out her katana and disappeared with pure speed, reappearing immediately behind the man that had attacked her, as his upper body slid off of his lower body; he had been cut in half.

Kushina turned to the last 3 ninja and glared at them. "Last chance; leave or die!"

The ninja didn't move, one of them turned to the others, "Head back to the village, we will try to capture her, Lord Danzo needs to know she got away immediately, she must be captured."

The last ninja nodded and left through the trees as Kushina stood there shaking her head, "Fine."

Kushina shot towards them disappearing and reappearing to the side of them, a chakra chain shooting out of her hand and stabbing through one's head then the other's, killing them both before the chakra chain retracted and she jumped through the trees looking for Naruto.

End flashback

"I found Naruto and then came here, like I said the Cloud village was the only place that made sense, you are the only one who can protect us. Please! I'm begging you." Kushina finished.

The Raikage sighed, "Were you able to bring any assets with you?"

Kushina shook her head, "As I told you, they wouldn't let me, but I could lead a team into Konoha at some point and obtain all of the assets of the Namikaze and Uzumaki. There are thousands of scrolls, as well as money and weapons."

The Raikage nodded, "So you will give us all of the jutsu?"

Kushina bit her lip, "I will give you most of them, however I have to honor my late husband's wishes, as he only wanted Naruto to be able to learn the Rasengan and Flying Thunder god, and his other space time jutsu that he created. Other than those you can have them all, but Naruto and I will be allowed access."

The Raikage growled, "You are trying to bargain with me?"

"Please Raikage-sama I'm begging you, allow me to fulfill Minato's wishes. Naruto will teach anyone he deems worthy how to use his father's jutsu." Kushina pleaded with him. Tears were coming to her eyes as she did.

The Raikage sighed, Minato had been a very good man, he would respect his wishes, "Very well, I have decided, we will shelter you, you will work with our Academy to build a new lesson plan using the lesson plans you learned from The Leaf village. I will refrain from giving you too many missions, and will help you find child care as you are one of my ninjas. I have open rooms at my estate; you will stay with me for the first week until I can find you a house. I will pay for your house and help you out until you get on your feet. Kushina, you have my condolences for everything that has happened to you and Naruto. He deserves better than how he was treated in The Leaf Village, Minato was an honorable man, and a great ninja. Please Kushina, don't let me regret this."

Kushina looked at him with gratitude a huge weight had just fallen off her shoulders, she stood and hugged the man, "Thank you, you certainly won't regret this, Naruto will become the strongest ninja in the world, I have no doubt."

The Raikage nodded, "I expect a lot from the both of you, I don't deal well with failure, and you two will be held to a very high standard, understood?"

Kushina nodded and the Raikage called for his assistant, she brought Naruto into the room and Ay stood from his seat and bent down to Naruto, he grinned gently at him, "Welcome to the Cloud Village Naruto-kun, my name is Ay, I am the Raikage, I truly hope you are happy here."

Naruto nodded but he was confused, he looked back to his mom unsure, "Mommy, why is this man being so nice?"

Ay frowned, "What do you mean Naruto-kun?"

Naruto looked back towards him and told him seriously, "Not many people are this nice to me."

Kushina then stopped him, "Raikage-sama, Naruto was treated terribly by almost every adult in the village, he isn't used to people being nice to him whatsoever at all. Most men would have tried to punt him, not greet him."

Ay nodded, "I see, so he is treated the same as Bee used to be, worry not Naruto-kun, people here will be much nicer to you, if someone is mean to you, you come and let me know, I will handle them. Same goes to you Kushina-san."

Kushina nodded, "Thank you."

Ay stood and grinned, "Follow my assistant, she will take you shopping for clothes and then take you to my estate and get you settled, she will also get you food. I have more work to get done, but I will be there later tonight to further discuss your situation."

Kushina nodded and walked out of the room with Mabui, relief flooding over her for the first time in days, she was so tired, she had had to carry Naruto and run for days in order to get here, she hadn't slept in days.

...

Hiruzen Sarutobi was livid, Shikaku Nara had just come to him and informed him of what had happened. "Who the hell voted for Kushina and Naruto to be kicked out of the village?"

Shikaku shook his head, "I'm not sure, it was an anonymous voting, all I can tell you is that Inoichi, myself and Chouza all voted them to stay, and Ko be examined, there was nothing we could do."

Hiruzen growled, he couldn't remember when the last time he had been this angry, he was infuriated. "Send for Inoichi; gather all the clan heads and have Inoichi find out exactly who voted for the Uzumaki' to be kicked out of the village. Whoever did vote for the excommunication will be ousted from their position as Clan Head. Have the clans hold votes to elect new clan heads. Now who initiated the vote?"

Shikaku's eyes had widened, the Sandaime Hokage was not taking this lightly, "Danzo Shimura did sir."

Hiruzen nodded, "Send ANBU for him, he is to come to my office immediately. I will not tolerate this kind of insubordination."

Shikaku nodded and left the room in a hurry, not wanting to catch any of the man's wrath.

Hiruzen then yelled out, "DOG! Get in here, immediately."

Dog appeared in the room, and took his mask off, revealing Kakashi Hatake, a former student of the Yondaime Hokage. "Is it true? Have Naruto and Kushina left the village?"

Hiruzen nodded, "Go and find them, stop at nothing, bring them back Kakashi, this is their home, they should not have been kicked out."

Kakashi nodded and disappeared.

Hiruzen stood and pulled out his pipe, loading it tight, he lit it with a small fire jutsu and puffed in, sighing as he looked out the window, shaking his head in disdain at this horrible village he had once loved so much. They had crossed the line this time, to get rid of Naruto, the very son of their savior, it was disgusting to him. This is how they repaid the Yellow Flash, pitiful.

He was brought out of his thoughts by Danzo entering the room. Hiruzen was so angry at seeing the man that his pipe was crushed in his hand.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Hiruzen screamed at him.

Danzo was taken about, "Hiruzen, you have to understand, it wasn't me. I was put under a genjutsu and forced to do it."

"You think I believe that crock of shit." Hiruzen asked him.

"You know I wanted him as a weapon, I wanted them both in ROOT, and it's your fault they are gone. I wanted them both to serve me, and no one would have ever even seen them again and we would have an extremely powerful weapon. You think I would have allowed them to leave if I were in control, that boy was a tool for this Village, and a damn powerful one." Danzo told him.

"Do you have any evidence to support this? Because if not you will be executed for treason!" Hiruzen told him angrily.

"Have Inoichi do a mind scan on me, it will show I have no recollection of the entire situation, someone asked me how I could do that, and I had no idea what they were talking about Hiruzen, I would not do this to you. They needed someone with enough power to back them, they chose me. I think it had to have been an Uchiha, the only one powerful enough to do this was Fugaku, he must have done this." Danzo told him, calm as always.

Hiruzen growled and nodded having Inoichi come to his office. He cursed, the memory showed Danzo seeing a Sharingan eye and then everything going fuzzy until he woke up later. Hiruzen growled, "I will accept this for now Danzo, however I will launch a formal investigation into this matter, if I find out you are lying I will execute you on the spot, do you understand?"

Danzo nodded, "If you didn't I would think you weak."

With that Danzo turned and walked out of the office smirking, glad he had taken the precaution of having one of his ROOT ANBU that was an Uchiha place him in genjutsu, even though he had told the boy exactly what he wanted. Now he just needed to find that cursed woman and her demon child.
