How.....puzzling.

Now-

I stood next to Minato and the second. My mind thinking over Rei's actions in these memories. And her actions towards Naruto when she kidnapped him. I frowned.

"Are these the real memories? Or one we are supposed to correct."

"Real. Our presence is enough to cancel out the effect of the seal. All you have to do, is watch. No matter how bad."

"Correct. What we are seeing are the unaltered memories. The originals." The scene of the forest faded away. And we landed back into the barren wasteland.

"What happened?" The second asked, looking around.

"Don't know." Minato said as he glanced around.

"Go away. " a voice echoed. Everyone turned to see a Naruto. Standing there. His expression was tired and sad.

"Naruto!?" Minato said loudly stepping forward. "What are you talking about, why would we leave!?"

"In this shaken Twisted world, i gradually become transparent. Unable to be seen." He said this as he stood there. Half faded and see through, he looked as though he was about to cry.

"Naruto?..." Minato said puzzled.

"Please do bother looking for me. Don't stare at me....." He spoke softly and stepped away from us, slowly fading. "I merely don't want to hurt you. So. Please remember me. As vivid as i was." Naruto whispered the last words and faded into oblivion. And suddenly the world shift and tumbled. And threw us around as though we were rag dolls. My eyes shut on their own, and then, i woke up.

My eyes flickered open and i stared at Shizune, who was hovering over me and checking my vitals.

"What happened?" I asked my voice low.

"Simply speaking. Naruto kicked you guys out. " he sighed. "According to the data, you all were about to hit, turbulent waters so to speak, and Naruto, didn't like that."

"Thats not, entirely true." Ino said softly.

"Explain." The second hokage said the fair haired girl.

"Well...according to the data we have, Naruto rejected you two. Not Gaara. From what we can tell so far. Gaara, only got caught up in the shock wave. He was not trying to kick gaara out." Minato glance over at me as she said this, and i blinked at her words. But my face was otherwise expressionless. Naruto didn't want to, kick me out. I was....special? I glanced over towards Shizune.

"Send me back in." I spoke softly. "Alone." I saw Minato frown slightly, then his face changed into that of sadness. I suppose, in a way, Naruto did just say, get the hell away from me, to his father, and then his father who only wants to be there for his son, is watching the leader of an enemy nation be closer to his son. I almost pitied him. Its not that he wished for things to be like this.
Shikamaru nodded.

"Perhaps. That would be best. Naruto wont be trying to fight every step of the way, or if he does, it wont be as bad."

"You are sending the leader of an enemy village in there?!" The second roared. My eyes flashed back towards the second hokage.

"This leader of the enemy village," i said "just so happens to owe not only my life, but my soul, to Naruto." I turned fully to face him. "And, i would not even be the leader of Suna, if it were not for Naruto." I finished my excessively long speech, at least in my mind. An then Continued to lay back on the table. Waiting for Shizune, who quickly responded, and sent me back into Naruto's mind, and as i fade back into his brain i couldn't helping thinking of Narutos words. They sounded as if they were meant more for me than for the others. I chuckled to myself. Words for Gaara. What nonsense. Still. Lingering doubts remained in my mind as i slipped into his brain.
