It been an couple days since Kimimaro told Tsunade about Orochimaru leaving the village. He also informed her about the Fourth great ninja war the day after.

Of course Tsunade was worried about her husband, and mad at him suddenly leaving, and the only thing she was thinking was searching for him and dragging him back from the village. Shizune was trying to calm down, which was quite a hard task.

Then Kimimaro reminded her that someone would need to replace him as Hokage.

Tsunade thought about it and decided he was right. She was going to have to fill in for Orochimaru until he comes back.

And also Karin was put in jailed in the end, since Orochimaru wasn't here to pervent it. Tsunade didn't want to go against Orochimaru request to not jail her but the elders won't approving it.

And so when the Kage met again, she was the one to go there with Shikaku as her advisor. She told the Kage about Orochimaru leaving the village and just told them that she would temporarily replace her husband as Hokage.

Everyone was shocked upon learning this sudden piece of news, but they had to stay strong and united.

"His sudden leaving the village...." The Tsuchikage said. "What a way to weaken us as the war about to start..."

Yes,of course, with his abilities and strength, he was the perfect shinobi to help win the war.

Kimimaro wanted to go look for him but Tsunade told him not to. If anything, she should have gone herself but couldn't. So instead, she agreed with the other Kage to send a special team composed of shinobi from the five different nations to go look for him.

However while they where in the middle of the meeting, a small red snake appeared on the table in the room.

"Lady Tsunade! I have an scroll with a message for you." The red snake said.

"A scroll? What does it say?" Tsunade inquired.

"I don't know was just order to deliver the scroll..."

Tsunade stood up swiftly and approached the snake.

"Give it to me!"

"Yes.. Here you go."

Tsunade took it for the snake pouch and unfilled the scroll.

Her eyes widened when she saw what was written on it.

"Search for brother don't know when I'll be back... Or if I should come back...?"

" what is it, Hime? " The Tsuchikage inquired.

Tsunade really hoped that it didn't mean what she thought this message meant...

What was making her even more afraid was that everything was written with blood. So that means... Her husband blood.

Tsunade began shaking uncontrollably, fearing the worst about her husband.

She remained frozen in her spot and speechless do a while, making every Kage worried. But she just ignored them.

"Shikaku...Go...Get Kimimaro...And...Tell him that I want to see him later..." She ended up trailing off.

The Nara man complied and left the room quickly.

But,meanwhile Kimimaro went to see Karin to see how she was doing. He decided to bring her some ramen since the prison food I terrible.

"Thanks the ramen," Karin said with a smile once he hand it her the bowl of ramen. "It's so much better then the dry sandwiches they been giving me."

" Yes, I guess it would be. "

As she was staring at his face, Karin noticed that he seem depressed.

"What's wrong Kimimaro?"

" Well... A war is about to happen, and Lord Orochimaru still hasn't been found. "

"Don 't sorry he be fine. He be back eventually."

"I guess but without him it not the same."

" .... "

Karin understands how Kimimaro feels. Without Lord Orochimaru it feels incredibly lonely.

"We just have to hope he come back."

" Your right Karin thanks for making feel a little better. "

Karin nodded. And shortly after that he left.

Some time later, he eventually went to see Tsunade who was all alone as the meeting between the Kage was now over.

"You didn't tell me the whole truth Kimimaro!!"

" What...? "

"What's this?!" She said before throwing at him the scroll which Orochimaru had written on.

Kimimaro manger to catch it before it would crash in his face.

He unrolled it swiftly and he had the exact same reaction as Tsunade when he saw what was written on it.

"...But...."

Tsunade just started at him as he frozen in his spot and speechless.

"I... I didn't know about.... His search for brother.... Or anything about.... Him not knowing know when he be back... Or of him thinking that he shouldn't... I swear.... Tsunade-Sama..."

"But you knew that something was on his mind, didn't you?! You just showed me that note so I wouldn't be worried about why he left or that he might not come back!!"

How could she have even guess that...?

"...."

"Answer!!!"

He was really fearing the worst too and wanted to go search for Orochimaru more than anything now.

"Kimimaro!! What happened to cause this??!!"

"... That.. Uchiha Sauske.... He fought Lord Orochimaru ... And... Danzo... said that Lord Orochimaru was a failure Hokage... I don't really... what happened after during his fight with Sauske but some talk about brothers..... I guess he left because he was stress....I didn't really bother to think about that...."

Tsunade's blood was boiling with rage. With Kimimaro not mentioning any of that. She clenched her fist as she was trying not to lose her temper completely.

"Lady Tsuna-"

"Enough!!"

"Let me go look for him!"

"No, that will be impossible. Anyway, we've already sent a team to go look after him..."

"But, let me go with them, I-"

"I said no. We need you to be the co leader of the third division. Since you are one of the only survivors of the Kaguya coup in the hidden mist village, your skills will be quite useful for the Allied Shinobi Forces as a leader even if it just as co leader."

Hearing that was making Kimimaro really mad.

"But I don't care about your third division!! The only person I care about is out there by himself searching for a dangerous enemy even if it is his brother, and he might be dead already, and you want me to lead your third division?!!"

Tsunade clenched her first again.

"Don't say such things Kimimaro!! He's certainly not dead!!! And now since Orochimaru can't fulfil his role of Hokage anymore, I am the one who gives orders!!! Is that understood?!"

"........"

"And don't think you are the only one worrying about him!!! Just... bite the bullet, and trust the Allied Shinobi Forces. That's all we can do so far...."

Of course, Kimimaro could imagine how Tsunade must have been worried for her husband, probably much more than he was, but that was pretty normal. If something were to happen to the person he was i n love with if he had one, he was sure that he wouldn't be able to keep his self control any longer...

In fact, he was wondering now how Tsunade could remain here without doing anything to save her husband. Even himself, he didn't quite know how he did to stay here any longer... That was probably because of her own words...

"Understood, Lady Tsunade...."

He just hoped that this team was competent enough to find him in time before he got seriously hurt o worse killed... And so did Tsunade. She just kept repeating to herself that her husband couldn't have died, and that she would be alright in the end.

He had no idea when he would see him again... Or if he would ever see him again.... And this thought was so painful to him.... He just couldn't lose him the one person who treated him more than a weapon and a purpose to keep living...

But then something erupted into the room. A lizard. Kiko's lizard...

Kimimaro thought it better if he went to find her to see what was wrong, and so he left the room quickly.

"Orochimaru... I swear if you die...." she whispered to herself once Kimimaro was gone, trying not to burst into tears.

She had first lost her grandfather, then her granduncle, then her grandmother, then her parents, then her brother, then the man she used loved, and more recently she had lost Jiraiya, the man who had always loved her, and now... She couldn't lose her husband the man she loves more than anything now....

Because if she did, she felt that she could do something she would regret... After ripping to pieces the man that had dared kill her husband, of course even if it his brother.

~*~

A/n: okay, so now, I wanted to focus on Burto and Namai meeting Kushina before really beginning with the war arc... So... I'll hope you'll enjoy this part! It will be a short part since it will only be focusing on them meeting their mom none of the stuff that happen before that scene.

Also I really love this song so I decided to add it.

Both Burto and Namai were literally seeing red as the demon fox was taking control over them, but suddenly as they were together in their subconscious for the very first time (spiritual connection, you know...), a red-haired woman appeared in front of them.

"Burto, Namai."

"Who are you? Also, why do you know our names?" Burto inquired rather warily. "We've never seen you before."

Namai said nothing and instead she observed the woman carefully.

A small smile appeared on the woman's face.

"Then try to guess who I am, Burto."

These facial features and smile.

Kaa-San... ? Namai thought as she instantly guessed who the woman was.

"Don't tell me..."

"You! You're the Kyūbi's true form, aren't you?!"

This made Kushina laugh hard.

"......."

"So you tried to trick us by turning into a woman huh?! Kyūbi you-"

"You're wrong, 'ttebane!" Kushina said as she got angry and hit Burto on his head.

"Burto!" Namai chimed in.

"Ouch!"

"Sorry for punching you so suddenly," Kushina said with an awkward smile as she was scratching the back of her head.

"........"

Even Namai seemed to be afraid of her now.

"How have you two been? I hope you didn't develop any weird way of talking like I did."

"....."

This 'ttebane... It was so similar to Burto's 'ttebayo... Namai now understood from whom he had inherited this linguistic tick.

"Minato, he didn't say anything, did he?"

Well, Namai couldn't even meet him... But apparently, he hadn't said anything to Naruto...

That's when sudden realization hit Burto.

"Oh, Geez..." he uttered as his lower lip started shaking slightly.

"That's right, I'm your-"

But before she could even finish her sentence, Burto hugged her tightly, taking her by surprise.

As for Namai, she was too much in shock to even move.

"Kaa-San... I've always... I've always wanted to meet you, 'ttebayo."

"'ttebayo, huh?" Kushina repeated, smiling. "You really are my child."

By now, Namai could feel her lower lip tremble as well. She was barely able to contain her emotions any longer. She had never been really the type of person to show emotions. But now... She couldn't believe she was meeting her own mother...

And so she ended up side hugging both her brother and mother before a few tears started rolling down her face, her eyes becoming her usual purple color.

"Kaa-San...."

Both Burto and Kushina were taken aback this time, but Kushina's eyes softened even more at the sight of her daughter hugging them both. As for Burto, a beautiful smile graced his lips.

"No 'ttebane from you, eh? You took after Minato then," she said still smiling.

Namai replied nothing. She was too much overwhelmed by emotion to say anything else than 'Kaa-San'.

"My children... I can finally meet you both..." The red-haired woman said softly. "You're both so handsome and beautiful..."

Burto couldn't believe how beautiful his mother was. She was as beautiful as his sister. Except that her hair was much redder. It was crimson. And it was even longer than Namai's. Namai's hair only reached past her butt. And the color of her eyes was different too they are an darker purple then Namai. (and her facial features were different too, btw).

"And you have grown up so much..."

After a short while, Burto broke the embrace.

"I have so many things I want to ask you!" he said excitedly.

"I'll answer all of them. But before that, we have to calm the two halves of the Kyūbi. Minato sealed some of my chakra within you two, so that I could help when the time came for you to take control of the Kyūbi's power."

"...."

"The thing is that unlike your brother, Namai, you've inherited my special ability. The Adamantine Sealing Chains."

"....Huh?..."

"But since you couldn't know it, I am here to show you how to use it. This way I'll be able to help Naruto at the same time with his own half of the Kyūbi."

"...."

"Don't look so tense! Just relax and trust yourself. I know you can use it. Just look at me help your brother and do the same. And even if you only have half of the Uzumaki's chakra, you can still do it, 'ttebane!"

Namai gulped down nervously. She had never heard of that thing before... So how was she supposed to know how to use it just like that?

But in the end Kushina had been right. Because Namai had been able to use her own Adamantine Sealing chains to control the Kyūbi's power as if she had already done that several times before.

Once they were done with that, Burto was grinning like an idiot while he was looking at Kushina while Namai was still puzzled and somehow shocked to see their mother for the very first time.

Both twins were sitting on each side of Kushina by now.

"I'm so happy that my mom's a hottie! I know now why Namai is so beautiful 'ttebayo!"

"Well, thank you," she said smiling. "But..." she trailed off before suddenly approaching her face toward her daughter's to examine it carefully, making Namai flinch.

"Hmm... These purple eyes and facial features.... You look just like your father... It's like you were a female version of him, but with my eye color but lighter and pink hair," she said smiling again, "How funny!"

"......."

"And you Burto, you got your hair from your dad, but you've got my face."

My father's face...?

"But after all your father is really handsome too 'ttebane!"

"But after all your father is really handsome too 'ttebane!"

Kushina grinned like Burto would.

"Yeah!! Haha!"

"Besides, you hair is straight just like Namai and has an even more beautiful red color, not that I am saying that you hair color is less beautiful, sis..." (Yes, that's what you are saying Burto.... Can't blame you though...) Burto said the last part of his sentence sheepishly, fearing that his sister might get angry. "It's just... Different...But it maybe more pink then red.. But still beautiful 'ttebayo."

But Namai still didn't say anything. And Burto just shrugged it off.

"I'm sure I'd look nice with that too," he said while imagining himself having his mother's hair color with a thumb up. "Or... Even with Namai's hair color, it could be cool!"

"......"

"And now imagine Namai with Dad's hair and eyes... It could have been cool too if we had had the same hair color and eye color!" he added now picturing his sister with blond hair and blue eyes. "She would have been a real female version of Dad!"

Namai's face became really pale as she was imagining herself with blond hair. How awful she would have looked... She preferred her current hair color much better. She didn't mind if she had blue eyes instead.

"Or... she could have had your beautiful red hair!!! She would have looked even more beautiful, 'ttebayo!"

"....."

Yes, that sounded much better to the girl.

"I'm sure she would have," Kushina said, still smiling. "You know, you're the second guy to compliment me on my hair."

"Then, who was the first?" Burto asked curiously.

Kushina grinned again and held back a laugh.

"Your father, of course," she said as she put a hand on his shoulder.

Afterward, she told them the story of how their father and her met and how they died.

When she was done, she put once again her hand on Burto's shoulder before she put her other hand on Namai's and glanced at both of them, smiling softly.

"I love you both," Kushina stated.

Namai and Burto smiled back at her.

"So tell me... When you combine the Yellow Flash of Konoha with the Red Blooded Habanero.. What do you get...?" Kushina asked them.

"You get Konoha's Orange Hokage 'ttebayo!" Burto exclaimed happily after standing up swiftly.

"You get Konoha's Orange Hokage 'ttebayo!" Burto exclaimed happily after standing up swiftly.

"That's really cool, 'ttebane!"

"Yeah, I'll never let Mum and Dad's dream end!"

Kushina kept smiling warmly until her smile faded.

"But..."

"Huh?" Burto wondered.

"What about you Namai? You haven't said a single word yet, except Kaa-San," Kushina pointed out.

"...... Me...?"

"Yes, you, idiot," Kushina said playfully as she was smiling at her daughter.

"......."

"...No... That has always been Burto's dream. Not mine."

Kushina stared at her intently before smiling.

"I see."

Anway, Burto's face saddened as there was a moment of silence followed.

"Where will you go now, Kaa-San?"

"I can finally go to where Minato is," Kushina replied smiling as she turned back her attention to him.

Namai's facial features saddened too.

"Already..." she muttered.

"I'm sorry for making you both the Kyūbi's vessel," Kushina then said as she glanced at both of her children.

Kushina then could feel tears prickling at the corners of her eyes.

"I'm sorry I couldn't shower you with love."

"Don't say 'sorry'," Burtosaid. "Namai and I went through some tough times because we were both Jinchūriki, but as for me, I never blamed you or Dad for any of it."

"...."

"Neither did I. You are both heroes. You protected the village. So we can't blame you for making us Jinchūriki," Namai added with a small but proud smile.

As they both said that, Kushina's eyes widened.

"Yeah, Namai is right. We know now that you and Dad sacrificed your lives for us."

Tears then started rolling down on Kushina's face.

"I'm glad you are my children."

Are you listening Minato? Our love reached both of them! she thought as she extended her arms to bring both twins closer to her and hug them.

"Thank you for being our children!" she said before disappearing.

From the bottom of my heart... Thank you!

Afterward, both Burto and Namai burst into tears. And Namai hugged Burto tight, filling the void that their mother had just left. Burto hugged his sister back just as tightly.

And that's how the Uzumaki twins met their mother for the first and last time.

~*~

Orochimaru has been traveling for a while now maybe about an week or two now. After sending Amber sister Ruby to deliver my scroll saying while I left.

Now how to find my older brother....

Orochimaru then summon his snake Nagini.

"You summon me Lord Orochimaru?" Nagini asked.

"Yes I need you find my older brother by sensing for his charka signature." Orochimaru explained.

"I understand leave everything to me Lord Orochimaru."

Once Nagini picked on Orochimaru brother charka she told him to follow her.

Orochimaru then began following Nagini in the direction he told her to go.

I hope Tsunade doing ok and didn't freak out so much, when she saw that I wrote my message out in blood because I didn't have anything else to write with, Orochimaru thought to himself.

After several hours of walking and following Nagini. Orochimaru decided to stop and rest and eat.

Orochimaru opened his bag and pulled out some hard boiled eggs and some rice balls.

"Lord Orochimaru where very close. I can sense your brother charka close by. It probably take at least one or two more day's to get to him." Nagini explained.

"I see we travel some more after lunch then stop to rest for the night." Orochimaru said.

Nagini nodded.

After more traveling after finishing her lunch. Orochimaru and Nagini stopped to sleep for the night after eating dinner.

~*~

After two more day's of traveling. Orochimaru was standing outside of an cave.

"So you sense his charka coming from in here?" Orochimaru asked.

"Yes Lord Orochimaru."

So Orochimaru followed Nagini into the cave. So he could find his brother.

"Here he behind this door."

Orochimaru nodded and pushed open the door with snakes as the door handles.

"It been a while." A voice said.

Orochimaru turned to see a shadow of his brother sitting in a chair.

"What are you doing in a cave?" Orochimaru asked.

"It my new hideout. I'm here because the Akatsuki destroyed the most of the hidden sound village. I don't know who all survived. This area is the library. "

"I see."

"So why are you here little brother?" Burto asked with an eyebrow raised.

"Well I wanted to talk to you about something." Orochimaru stated.

"Well go ahead I'm all ears."

"It just did you leave me because you hate me? Also I think I was meant to be Hokage all I done was fail I couldn't stop my student from going down a dark path. I couldn't protect the village from Akatsuki. And I don't think I will be able to stop this world. Maybe the village be better off without me." Orochimaru said while looking depressed.

"I left because I want to find a solution to create peace in this world. I didn't like seeing you suffering from loneliness of losing mom and dad. I saw how much pain you were in everyday hear rude comments. I wanted to end that by finding peace. Also you may have failed but your not a failure nobody can anything all by themselves that why I had followers and a village to help. You will find a way to end this war but not by yourself. Your wife,son,granddaughter, grandson,and daughter and law, and everyone who cares about you will be there to help you. Also remember one thing no matter what happens or what you do I will always love you little brother. "

Orochimaru didn't know what to say.

"Well I will be leaving now I'm going to search for any people from sound that might be alive."

Naruto Yashagoro then vanished from the room.
