the enlightened one (neglected and framed Naruto)

chapter 25

"Naruto..." Said Kushina as her eyes were glassy. "You wanted to see me. Well I'm here so what do you want?" He asked, annoyed as Tsunade stepped forward. "We wish to ask you something." She stated as he raised an eyebrow. "What?" He asked simply as she grew nervous under his dark gaze. "Why didn't you tell them? Your very own family, your true self." She asked as he scoffed.

"My family wouldn't have neglected me." He states as this caused Menma and Naruko to look down as he looked bored. "That is no h-" "I swear if you tell me that they are my family. You will be going to the next world." He interrupted Jiraiya as he flinched. Soon, Kushina approached as she attempted to place a hand on his cheek, stopped by Haku. "That is as close as you get." She states, gently pushing her back.

A part of her was mad at Haku for not allowing her to touch her own son, but she deserved not to as she didn't believe him. "If that is all you want to know, please leave." He states as Obito stood forward. "Wait. We want you to come with us." He said suddenly as this stopped him. "Care to repeat that?" He asked as his eyes showed rage. "He has gotten the chakra orbs and a part of your soul. Whether you like it or not. We need each other' help." He said as he scoffed.

"Oh? And what can you provide me?" He asked as this silenced him. "Nothing." He said as he was about to close the door. "Your children's safety!" He shouts as this angered Naruto and shocked everyone there. "You were lost a part of your soul because Mizu wasn't as guarded. Thus, your child life was threatened. Konoha has much more protection compared to the other villages." He explains as this, though annoying, he made good points.

After sighing, he spoke up. "We will discuss this." He said, annoyed as he closed the door, causing Obito to sigh in relief. "THE GAKI HAS KIDS!?!" Asked Jiraiya as he nodded. "Yeah, three of them." He said as this was even more surprising to Kushina. 'I'm a grandmother, and I didn't even know it. I'm the worst.' She thought as she was a bit happy knowing she had grandkids, but remembered she disowned him... so yeah, very complicated emotions. "We should wait by the trees knowing him. It will take a while." He said as they nodded.

"We are going." Said Naruto while Haku said, "we are staying." At the same time shocking them both. They never really came to different answers, so this was new. "He is right. We can't stay here. If we do, they might as well be left to the wolves." He states as she shook her head. "No, we can put them in a secure space that will safeguard them, and I don't want you to reopen closed wounds," She said in worry as he sighed. "You and our kids are my main priority. This isn't up for discussion." He states in a serious tone as though he might hate Konoha he knew they could protect his kids and, if needed, be a possible second home for them to hide from Zero I they fail.

"You shouldn't put us over yourself." She said sadly as he gave her a passionate kiss. "Why shouldn't I protect my most precious things?" He asked as she couldn't help but smile. "Fine. We'll do it." She agreed as he smiled, and they hugged. "I'll tell them you prepare our things." He said as she laughed. "Too bad we couldn't go further." He said as she shook her hips seductively. "Maybe next time~" She said as he sighed, going to the Konoha team.

"Can't believe I'm an aunt. Maybe we could've been spoiling them if we didn't do all that stuff." Naruko said sadly as Menma nodded, agreeing. "Though I wouldn't be surprised if Mom buys some things for them." He said as she laughed sadly. Kushina is in emotional turmoil as she was fighting the urge to barge in and see her grand babies, luckily she is mentally strong enough to hold herself back atleast better than Tsunade who was on her way to see them.

Before she could open the door, Naruto opened it. "Naruto!" Shouts Tsunade in suprise as she was surprised she couldn't sense him. "And what do you want? Let me guess you want to see them, " He asked, closing the door behind him, as she was embarrassed. He soon sees the Konoha group approach as they are nervous. "I have come to a decision." He said as this made them tense up. "Very well." He agreed as this surprised everyone. "Haku will be done pack soon, so you can go and eat or something and come back here in a few." He said, flickering to Zabuza' house to explain that they will be going to Konoha to him, and maybe drink some sake.
