Love can heal the wounds of time

Its almost time...

"Wha-" Sakura said shocked.

"You did WHAT!" Yelled Tsunade as she slammed her hands on the table. Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura jumped slightly at her sudden anger.

"Lady Tsunade the only person I insulted was Naruto." Sakura nervously said. She then took a step behind Sasuke hoping he'd protect her from the anger radiating from the two ladies in the front of the room.

"THATS MY SON YOU BIT-" yelled Kushina but was cut off by the door sliding open to see Shikaku. Kushina immediately started smiling with a happy go lucky aura oozing off of her. " SHIKAKU! How are you! How's your son? Is the Nara clan still the smartest clan in Konoha?" Asked Kushina as she got up and practically ran up to Shikaku and hugs him tightly as his face showed his shock.

"Ku-Kushina! You're alive?!?! God you're alive Kushina! Your al- wait this isn't a trick right?" Shikaku looked at Lady Tsunade with a mix of emotions on his face.

"She is very much alive Shikaku." Said Lady Tsunade as she laughed lightly.

Shikaku's POV

"Shukaku are you gonna answer my questions?" Kushina asked as she looked up at me releasing me from the tight hold she had on me.

I tried to answer but I couldn't. How could I tell her after her son left my son had to be put in the hidden medical ward in the Hokage Tower. "Kushina...my son isn't doing so well and I-" I started but I as I was about to explain I thought of how my son looked last time I saw him and I started sobbing.

"I-I don't th-think he w-will be able to c-continue m-much longer." I said while sobbing. Kushina wrapped her arms around me and she started whispering some comforting words to me as I reciprocated the tight hug.

I slowly started to calm down and noticed that my shirt felt a little damp. "Ku? Are you crying" I whispered to her as I held onto her.

"N-no I'm just worried about my son. He went missing after being banished and I-I" Kushina started before KI started oozing from her as she looked down at her feet after pulling away from our hug.

Sasuke's POV

Why the hell do those two act like no one else is in the room?!? Like seriously.

After what felt like an eternity the weird lady with red hair started to speak again but was cut off as I felt KI start oozing from her.

Suddenly Lady Tsunade got up and yelled for us to find the other teams and then get our asses back to her office so that's what we did.
Unknown's POV

'Naruto... it's almost time for you to come home.'

"Sir! We have delivered the scroll to the Leaf Village." said a red haired male with silver streaks in his hair.

"Speak your mind Kunin."

"Are you sure that was a wise decision sir? I mean the Jonin Exams are coming up." said Kunin worriedly.

"Kunin...I know what you're implying but it had to be done. Naruto suffered there Kunin. Now you and the others should go out tonight."

"W-where to sir?" asked Kunin

"Where ever you want. But do come back soon...I'll need you guys here for when I go to the Jonin Exams."

"Hai sir!" Kunin said. Kunin jumped out of the window of the office.

'Once I get them all you can finally join us in the world of the living again Naruto. I just hope it won't take too long.'

Shikamaru's POV

I've been in this endless black void for so long. I don't know where or how to leave this place. Every once in a while I'll hear this voice and I'll have a conversation with them but I have yet to know who they are.

It's

So

Lonely

Here

"Hey there Shika. How are you holding up?" Asked the mysterious voice. "I'm fine but can you tell me who you are? Or how to get out of this void?" I asked as I stood up.

"You could have asked me to turn on the lights ya know." Said the mysterious voice. Suddenly Shikamaru found himself in what looked to be a sitting room. "What is this place?" I asked with a look of utter confusion.

"Well it's my home duh." said a male as he appeared behind me smirking. I turned around to see a male with red hair and silver streaks in his hair. He was dressed in a kimono that was for some reason very tight fitted as it hugged his hips. I slowly examined him from top to bottom noticing that his left thigh could be seen and I suddenly got a strange feeling...like I wanted to hid his from the world.

"Shika I've wanted to tell you something for a long time...but I don't know how to." said male looked at me with a pained expression on his face as he looked down at the tray in his hands.

"What's your name?" I asked the male who walked over with a tray of tea and placed the tray down on the coffee table.

"My name? Oh silly me I forgot to tell you this...my name is Kunin." The male now known as Kunin said as he sat down, poured some tea and offered me a cup which I accepted as I felt parched.

"So can you tell me what you've wanted to tell me?" I asked after taking a sip of the tea.

"It's kind of hard to explain...You remember that Naruto Uzumaki had the nine tails sealed in him right?" Kunin asked looking at me nervously.

Yes. But what d-" as I was about to continue speaking Kunin cut me off.

"Well you see during the sealing the nine tails was with two fox kits. Well the fourth hokage was worried they'd try to attack the village as revenge for him sealing the nine tails into Naruto. So he sealed the nine tails and the two kits in Naruto." Kunin said as he took a sip of his cup of tea.

"What does this happen to do with me?" I asked still confused as he set his cup of tea down and looked me dead in the eyes.

"I am one of those kits that was sealed into Naruto. And this story has everything to do with you since you are...

Hehehe cliffhanger time bitches! Can anyone guess what Kunin is about to say? What will Shikamaru's reaction to whatever Kunin is about to tell him? And who is Kunin working for???

Baiiiii lovelies
