章 22: Kushina becomes the Jinchuuriki

Yone used the Flying Thunder God to get to the main HQ where Yone's wife should be taking care of the wounded. The children were scared as they were surrounded by wounded people as they arrived at a tent and entered it.

Inside was Mikoto taking care of another woman that had a deep cut on her shoulder when Mikoto used the Mystical Palm Technique as the wound was slowly healing.

"You should wait outside while I heal people," says Mikoto not knowing who was behind her.

"Well I wanted to see my wife before I return to the front," says Yone as Mikoto turned around and saw Yone with three children and a dog.

"Who are they?" asks Mikoto as she could see one of them had to be an Uzumaki.

"They are orphans that I picked up. It seems they survived on their own by stealing so I thought we could give them a better life," says Yone as Mikoto looked at the children.

She stood up and walked toward the girl and touches her face while saying, "You are lucky that you weren't caught by some pervert. They would have done horrible things to you."

Then she looked at the boys and says, "Take them home and inform the Hokage that we adopted them. Also you three will be joining the academy."

Mikoto was already comporting like a mother towards them as the girl suddenly made a paper flower for her.

"Thank you," says Mikoto as she pets her head when she continues, "You will be living with your great-grandmother until we return from the front so behave we will find out if you do something."

"Yes, ma'am," said the three as Mikoto looks angry at them.

"It's mother or mom," says Mikoto as they said mom making Mikoto smile before taking them in her arms.

"I will take them to grandma and then return right away," says Yone as he kisses Mikoto.

"Do so," says Mikoto as Yone gave her his kunai before disappearing from there with the children.

They arrived at his house and Yone says, "Welcome to Konoha. Let's meet the Hokage before meeting the rest of the family."

They walked through the streets of Konoha and it seemed quite peaceful as if they didn't know that a war was being battled at the border.

They arrived at the office and the secretary sees Yone and wanted to stop Yone but it was too late since Yone entered anyway only to find Hiruzen being worked to the bones.

"Ah, Yone how happy I am to see you. Help me get my head from my lifetime enemy," says Hiruzen when he noticed three children and a dog beside Yone.

"I'm here to adopt them officially into my family. They lost their family in the ongoing war. They should receive the same chance I received from the Senju Clan," says Yone as Hiruzen looked at the children and nods towards Yone.

He takes a document out and stamps it as he hands it over while saying, "Just write their names in the document and give it to my secretary. It should be official after that."

"Thank you," says Yone as Hiruzen shakes his head.

"I have to thank. I heard you even received a nickname from the enemy. They call you Yone the walking Flame or the Man made of Fire," says Hiruzen as Yone smiles.

"I heard that when I fought Hanzo it seems my head has quite the reward right now," says Yone as Hiruzen was smoking from his pipe.

"Yes, I heard that too. Have you thought over the offer I gave you?" asks Hiruzen as Yone nods while smiling.

"I won't be Hokage. Didn't you want to put Orochimaru on that seat," says Yone as Hiruzen sighs.

"It's not easy to convince the council to out someone else except for you on this seat right now. Maybe after the war is over and your name isn't in everyone's mouth," says Hiruzen as the children were surprised to hear that their father would be Yone.

"I will return to the front right away and they will enter the Academy or we both will be killed by Mikoto," says Yone as Hiruzen sweats a bit.

"Why are all Uzumaki women always that brutal can you remind me of it," says Hiruzen as Mito, Mikoto and even Tsunade were quite forceful when they needed to be it.

"I don't really want to answer that," says Yone as he smiled at Hiruzen.

They then leave when the orange-haired boy asks, "Are you really the Yone that can make his body turn into flames?"

"Yes, but there are more tricks that I haven't revealed yet," says Yone as his hand slowly turned black and says, "A Shinobi never shows all his tricks."

The three were surprised when Yone showed them a little trick as he smiled at them before they arrived at the Senju Compound.

Once there he finds Kushina practicing her Fuinjutsu with the twins that have inherited their talent in it from both parents.

The twins see Yone and jump up dropping everything they were doing as they run towards Yone and hugged him while saying, "You are back."

"Only for some hours. Your mother is awaiting me at the front after bringing you three siblings," says Yone as they came out from behind Yone.

They could clearly see that Yone was their father from the eyes they had when Kushina walked over and asks, "How long will this war go on?"

"I don't know but the enemy seems to be afraid of me so I hope that it will be fast so your mother and I can return home. Also, how is your grandmother doing?" asks Yone as Kushina seemed sad.

"She seems to become weaker by the day," says Kushina as Yone pets her head.

"And Hori where is he?" asks Yone as he couldn't see his son anywhere.

"He is inside with big sister Haru and grandma," says Kushina as Yone smiles.

"Well how about we present you to each other," says Yone as he still didn't know their name.

"Well I am Yahiko, this is Nagato and Konan," says Yahiko as suddenly the dog barked and Yahiko says, "And Chibi is our dog."

"Is he a Ninken like the dogs of the Inuzuka Clan?" asks Hana as she was curiously petting Chibi with Hina.

"I don't think so but he could become the Ninken of one of the three in the future," says Yone as Chibi suddenly froze when he shook his body around in denial when Yone says, "Everyone had to pay for his food even you, dog. There are no free meals at my house."

Chibi now knew where he got himself into while the three children began to laugh seeing their dog in a pinch when Yone says, "Let's go inside to meet the others."

"Yes," says everyone as they followed Yone inside.

Once inside Hana and Hina ran forward to inform everyone as Nawaki did when he returned from his two-year journey. They arrived in the living room, Yone saw Mito and saw that she was quite weak.

"Are you alright grandma?" asks Yone as Mito smiled.

"I am alright," says Mito as beside her was Hashi Senju, the son of Nawaki and Haru who laid beside Mito while Hori was watching his cousin sleep.

"But could I talk to you about something," says Mito as she slowly stood up.

"Of course," says Yone as he picked her up and they left the room while saying, "How about you show your new siblings around the house."

"Yes," say Hana and Hina at the same time and dragged the four through the house.

Yone arrived at Mito's bedroom and asks, "What do you need grandma?"

"I need you to transfer the Kyuubi into Kushina earlier than I thought," says Mito as Yone looked seriously at his grandmother.

"You will die if we extract the Kyuubi from you," says Yone as Mito picked a scroll out of her nightstand and hands it to Yone.

"Not if we use this seal. With this seal, I will survive and Kushina wouldn't need to worry about having children in the future since the seal is stronger than any seal the Uzumaki ever made," says Mito as Yone opened the scroll and sees that it was a complex seal.

It had four more layers than the Eight-Trigrams Seal making it an ultimate Seal making Yone say, "Who made it he must be a genius."

"He won't appear in this timeline at least your senior brother told us about that," says Mito as Yone found it a waste that such a genius wouldn't be born.

"I will bring Kushina and we will begin right away," says Yone as he leaves the room to get Kushina once both were in the room Mito began as she extracted the Kyuubi out of her body with Yone's help and sealed it in Kushina.

"You both have done well," says Yone as he smiled and petted Kushina who was brave enough to become the Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi.

Mito was exhausted as she laid down and fell asleep while Yone was feeling her pulse that was stable making him sigh in relief saying, "She is alright."

Yone stood up and looked at Kushina before saying, "From today on it is your responsibility to guard the Kyuubi but that doesn't mean you have to carry it alone. I and everyone in the family will help you and your little crush might help you too."

The last comment gave Yone a hit against his shoulder from Kushina who learned how to use Haki from Yone like Mikoto before her.

"Now how about you return to your siblings," says Yone as Kushina was a bit embarrassed that Yone could see that easily through her.

Yone then completed the document for adoption as he entered the names of the three new members of his family before kissing his grandmother's forehead and leaving the room.

He enters the living room and lifted his son up who was quite timid like he was when he was younger and kissed him on the forehead before doing the same to his daughters when it was the turn for the other three.

They seemed nervous as Yone hugged them and gave them each one kiss on the forehead while saying, "Listen to your older sister and your great-grandmother. I and your mother will return as fast as possible."

The three seemed to be overwhelmed by the warmth Yone gave them since they started crying when Yone petted their heads and says, "Now is not the time to cry but to be happy. Do you three understand."

"Yes," say the three as Yone smiled before he stood back up and waved at them before disappearing.

He appeared in the office left the document there and left again to his wife's side. Mikoto was treating the next patient that was a man this time and had quite several wounds on his chest.

Yone appears and sees how Mikoto was healing the man when he helped her a little using the Mystical Palm Jutsu as the wound closed faster.

The man was healed and thanked them before leaving when Yone says, "They are at home. It seems the children are alright while grandmother was weak. I had to transfer the Kyuubi earlier than expected."

"It was expected she is over seventy years old. She might now survive until her eighties now that the Kyuubi isn't in her body," says Mikoto as she hugged Yone before whispering, "I missed you."

"I missed you too. Were there some skirmishes nearby lately?" asks Yone to make sure that the enemy hasn't found the main camp.

"No, everything is quite far away from here," says Mikoto as Yone kissed her.

"Stay save and keep the kunai with it I can always return to your side immediately," says Yone as he disappeared again to return to the front.
