"Tou-san, kaa-sam, Mito-chan!" came the excited shout of a young girl who looked to be about eight years old. She had red hair that was tied into two short pigtails. She also had deep, clear cerulean blue eyes and a heart shaped face, which possessed three whisker on each cheek. She wore a loose red shirt with an orange toad on the front. Her excitement was due to her feet sticking to the surface of a tree after multiple failures of doing so.
Before anything could be said, a red blur grabbed the young girl from the tree and did two things.
Squeeze her tightly to a point she had trouble breathing and spin her around so fast the young girl thought she would puke.
The red blur was none other than Kushina Uzumaki, the young girls proud mother. "I'm so proud of you dear! You will become a really strong Kunoichi very soon!"
"Your mother is rigth Nami-chan," came the proud voice of her father, Minato Namikaze, the Yellow Flash and Fourth Hokage of Konoha.
Next to him was another girl that looked to exactly like Nami and also looked to be about eight years old. In fact, the only difference betweem the two as that her hair was tied into a ponytail and instead of blue eyes like her father, she possessed the violet eyes of her mother. This young lady is Mito Uzumaki Namikaze, twin sister of Nami Uzumaki Namikaze.
"Yeah sis, I knew you do it!" she cheered for her younger twin by 6 seconds. She had got the chakra exercise down yesterday and was waiting for her dear sister so they could advance together.
After finally gaining her balance from her mom's spinning-hug-of-death, Nami grinned at her twin. "Yeah, now we can both continue to get stronger and become super powerful Kunoichi."
The family were then seen talking and playing together happily. To anyone looking at this, then it was the epitome of a picture perfect family. A loving and proud father, a caring and slightly overprotective mother, and two close siblings that loved each other dearly.
There was only one problem for this picture; not all members of this 'perfect' family were participating in this loving moment. In fact, the missing family member was watching the whole interaction from a window in the living room.
The person was a young boy who was about a year older than the two twins. He had spikey blonde hair, similar to his Minato's, with the tips being blood red in color. He had three whisker marks on each cheek, making him look like a fox slightly. His eyes showed that he was hetechrome due to his left being an ocean blue, but his right being a deep violet. He wore an orange jacket (that was wide open) with the trademark spiral of the Uzumaki on the back and a black shirt underneath. He also had red Anbu pants and blue Shinobi sandals.
This young man was Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the neglected son of Minato and Kushina.
If your doubting his neglection then don't because its true. Naruto was neglected for his younger sisters. This was due to eight years ago, Konoha was attacked by the kyuubi no kitsune. The powerful Bijuu was forced to attack Konoha by a man who weilded the powerful Sharingan Eye of the Uchiha Clan.
Minato fought the masked man and freed the Kyuubi from his grip with the help of Jiraiya, who had came to check on the birth of the twins at the time (having missed Naruto's birth because of his spy work). The former Third Hokage, along with every available Shinobi, held the Kyuubi off as best they could. The Kyuubi in his anger (and still slightly hypnotized state) began to charge a Bijuudamma to obliterate Konoha off the map, but due to Minato's appearance and use of his Hiraishin, was able to teleport the attack away from the burning village.
Jiraiya appeared with a Battle Toad and pushed Kyuubi back before Minato apppeared alongside the Boss Toad, Gamabunta. Together they were able to force Kyuubi away from the village and into a safer place for their battle. The fight was long and difficult and the Kyuubi easily showed why it was the strongest of the Tailed Beasts by not only beating the Boss Toad, but also the Battle Toad Gamaken and tossing Minato and a Sage Mode Jiraiya around like kittens.
Knowing they couldn't win the fight, Minato left to get his daughters and Naruto so he could seal the Kyuubi away once again. After a brief argument with his wife and Tsunade, who was the only reason that Kushina was still alive alonside her blood as an Uzumaki, he teleported back to the battlefield to see Kyuubi defeat another Battle Toad Jiraiya summoned named Gamaken.
Acting quickly, Minato used the Reaper Death Seal and summoned the Shinigami himself to seal the Kyuubi. Thanks to the help of the Death God, the Kyuubi was split into three parts: the Yin chakra (which went into Nami), the Yang chakra (which went into Mito), and the soul (which went into a still confused, but scared Naruto). Due to the soul the most poweful part of the Kyuubi little did they know that soul of the Kyuubi is slow become one with Naruto.
Ready to have his soul taken, the Shinigami allowed Minato to survive, much to the shock of Jiraiya and Fourth Hokage. The reasoning he gave was that things were being put into motion, and his soul was not needed, but to not expect him to be leninent the next time they meet.
Afterwards, Minato told the people of Konoha what happened and told them that his daughters were the heros of Konoha for holding the beasts power from him. This caused the crowd to cheer for the now dubbed "Princess of Konoha".
When the twins hit the age of three, Minato and Kushina began to train them to be able to control the Kyuubi's violent chakra, completely leaving Naruto out due to him not being as "special" as his sisters.
What none of them saw was a boy with sun kissed blond hair , ocean Blue eyes, wearing a black shirt, black shorts, and shinobi sandals, this was Naruto Namikaze, Nami and Mito's older brother by ten minutes, looking down at his so called "family" from his window with a dark look. Closing his window, he looked at his room that was covered in paintings that Naruto made. Most depicting different sceneries, but one would catch anyone's attention, it was in the center of all the other paintings it showed a man wearing a white and black suit covering his entire body, that had a web design to it, the mask showed two golden yellow lens for the eyes, the eye catching part is the white spider symbol on his chest.. You see while his siblings were loved, Naruto was forgotten by everyone just another child. It wasn't just the training that they neglected him from, it was also everything that came with being a family. Birthdays, family outings, family meetings, even dinner sometimes! When he wanted something and the twins wanted something else... well you could guess what happened with Naruto's choice. Even his own sisters didn't give him much attention, but at least they tried compared to his parents!
The villagers on the other hand were far worse, due them believing that Naruto was the demon fox that destroyed their village. They would either glare at him, curse him to death, or attack him on rare occasions. Those who knew Naruto wasn't the Kyuubi, but attacked anyway, believed by hurting the vessel then they were hurting the fox itself (and that was good enough for them).
Even his godparents Jiraiya and Tsunade favored the twins over him, the same with his father's last living student Kakashi Hatake.
The only people Naruto interacted in the village was the Hyuuga Clan, after stalling the Kumo Jonin long enough for Hiashi to incompasitate him and saving Hinata. He also had the backing of the Uchiha Clan when Itachi found Naruto bleeding from one of the attacks by the villagers, and took him home to be cared for. He stayed for two days and became close friends with both Sasuke and Satsuki Uchiha, Itachi's little brother and sister.
His family didn't even notice he was missing.
But Itachi Uchiha, and Shisui Uchiha who were the only people to help Naruto in his training. Itachi and Shisui found Naruto training at a training ground, by himself. Itachi asked Naruto why he wasn't training with his siblings, Naruto replied "Why would I train with people who ignore me." Shocked that Yondaime and his wife would ignore their own son made Itachi and Shisui's respect for them drop a lot. From that day forward Itachi and Shisui would train Naruto whenever they could, and while Naruto was happy to have friends. Shisui was the one who trained Naruto the most since Itachi was in Anbu, Shisui taught Naruto tree walking, water walking, even a few fire jutsu that Naruto took to like a fish to water.
Naruto was also friends with both Ayame and Teuchi Ichiraku, a daughter-father ramen stand owner who red Naruto from time to time, and even the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi (who helped train Naruto in seals ).
After hearing his parents laugh when Nami fell off the tree on top of Mito, Naruto's eyes narrowed in anger. He just, while not hating them (yet), did not like being ignored. He no longer saw any of them as his family (yet still cared for his sisters slightly). He rarely ever refers to himself as Uzumaki or Namikaze unless its formal, which he hates formalities to begin with. Sighing Deciding he had enough of watching his sisters train while leaving him out, he left to his room; walking right past it.
He walked past his sister's room as well until he made to the front door. Naruto walked out of his "Family" home, and walked to his training ground here Itachi and Shisui teach him new fighting styles. But today Shisui and Itachi were both out on missions so Naruto was training alone. Reaching his training ground behind the Hokage Monument, Naruto created a hundred shadow clones, Itachi taught it to him thanks to his huge chakra reserves, and he pulled out scrolls that he copied from his father's library containing elemental jutsu, the Rasengan, and the Hiraishin. Naruto also plans to add his elements to the Rasengan and complete just to spite his father, Jiraiya, and Kakashi that he could do something they never could or will be able to.
"Get to work." Said Naruto tossing the scrolls to the clones. Naruto then went about his exercises twenty laps, hundred sit ups, pull ups, and pushups since clones only transfer back memories not muscle mass. Half way through his exercises the ground collapsed beneath him falling through the whole Naruto fell hard to the ground. "Dammit what happened and where am I?" Naruto wondered, before looking around seeing he was in what looked to be some kind of research lab composed of tables with blue prints and work papers on it and high tech stuff all around, "Oh man, this place looks cool," He said as he tried reading some of the papers but the words and such were too big and complicated for him to understand, "Wonder what this place is, and if Jiji or my so called "parents" knew about this?" he asked himself until he froze and felt he heard a slithery voice call out to him.
*Hello, is somebody there?*
"Where'd that come from?" Naruto asked himself looking a little terrified.
*Here, over here*
Naruto looked for the source of the voice and looked at a machine containing large containment tubes. He approached it and looked inside seeing each tube contained some kind of ooze substance. The first tube contained a whitish and blackish ooze.
"What is this?" Naruto asked as he put his hand on one of the tubes and suddenly the blob jumped to the side of the tube almost like it wanted to get out and Naruto yelped jumping back, "Ok that's freaky!" he said as he looked at the blob struggling inside its containment units.
He approached it again, "I can hear you. What let you out?" he asked, "I for some reason am not sure if that's such a good idea." He backed into a lever that started alarms.
EMERGENCY BREACH!
EMERGENCY BREACH!
Naruto saw the units opened up and the blob jumped out and started slinking toward Naruto who tried to run but tripped on his own feet. Naruto screamed as the oozes stuck its elves to the soles of his sandals and started spreading all over him from bottom to the top. Naruto blacked out and was lying on the ground in some dark chamber in front of huge gates.
Naruto groaned as he stood up, "What the hell just happened?" he asked himself before he looked up at the gates and saw a grinning face, "Well lookey here. The boy finally decides to show himself." The giant fox creature cackled.
"Kyubi, you brought me here?" Naruto gasped. Naruto knew about the Fox sealed inside him when he first enter his mindscape. And what shocked him the most that fox was only sealed inside of him and not his sisters.
"Not me I'm afraid, but something else," Kyubi explained, "And I would appreciate it if you would show yourselves!"
Naruto confused looked to the ground seeing the blob from before started bubbling and a figure rose up from it and took form. From the ooze rose up a white and black muscle bound creature with a black spider symbol on his front torso and back, his eyes were golden yellow, and his mouth was filled with sharp teeth and a fork like tongue.
"Oh yeah it feels good to finally move again!" the creature said to it self
"he looked to Naruto, " and I have my little friend here to thank."
Naruto looked completely frightened backed away, "Please don't kill me!" he shielded himself not sure if he could fight him since he looked like he could tear him limb from limb.
the creature, looked at Naruto confused as he said " it has seem I still have my terrifying touch."
the creature looked at Naruto, "Relax boy, I do not wish to hurt you, rather I want to thank you."
"Thank me?" Naruto asked.
"Yes, for so long I have been trapped in those containment units." the creature said.
"But who are you ? More like what are you?" Naruto asked.
"That's what I'd like to know as well." Kyubi said glaring down at the creature.
"Well Naruto Uzumaki, and Kyubi, I am known as anti-venom ." the new known anti-venom introduced himself .
"anti-venom ?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. As for what I am, I'm from race beings that came from the deepest reaches of the galaxy." anti-venom explained.
"On earth we are identified as symbiotes."anti-venom explained.
"Symbio-what?" Naruto asked in confusion as the the creatures sighed.
"It's just as I saw this boy has low intelligence among other pitiful humans."anti-venom said
"Hey!" Naruto said hearing that insult.
"Let me explain," anti-venom said referring to himself as we alone, "Symbiotes are a race of creatures that feed off another like a parasite. However unlike regular symbiotic creatures found on earth we do not feed off anyone until nothing is left. Rather we help them in exchange for something."
"Help them?" Naruto asked.
"Yes but rather then explain it to you like that let me give you a fast play." anti-venom said as he extended his palm and white and black tendrils extended from them and stuck to Naruto's skull as he screamed as he saw flashes of memories flowed through his mind.
Such images included a young teenage boy dressing up in a red and blue spider like costume was swinging throughout a city on webbing and fighting crime, villains, and all sorts of baddies. Suddenly the memories switched to another where he saw from that one's POV fighting the spider costumed figure and all sorts of stuff. he saw from anti-venom's memories.
When Naruto snapped out of it he gasped, "Whoa! So that's how you knew my name and everything you read into my mind?"
"That is correct. my time started off when I was brought to this planet aboard a space shuttle," anti-venom, "It was then I bonded with that figure you saw through his and our memories, Peter Parker aka Spiderman."
"Spiderman." Naruto said in nostalgia.
"Yes when I bonded with him me granted him extra strength, speed, and reflexes making him a better hero than he used to be," anti-venom continued. "However he soon started growing feared of me and how we were affecting his mind making him more aggressive. He ended up separating me and I ended up bonding with another one who accepted our power. Eddie Brock a rival of Peter who blamed Spiderman for everything he lost, his anger fueled us and we bonded well together but ended up once again separated from my host and attached to a space shuttle that took me with it to outer space."
"Whoa." Naruto gasped.
"So whaddaya say kid, wanna have real power that no one in the village could ever offer you?" anti-venom asked.
Naruto looked feeling tempted but knew at his current level he could never surpass his father and his two sisters, "Well I'm still not sure how having you inside me will do with my mind, but I also want to make an image of myself in this village, an image ninja and villagers will know whenever they cross paths with me. However from what I saw of Spiderman's memories I too agree with what he lived by with great power comes great responsibility. All right then I accept!"
"Perfect," anti-venom said,"
Kyubi watched as the symbiote bonded into Naruto and he screamed and once again blanked out.
Once Naruto awoke he was disoriented rubbing his head. Remembering what happened Naruto realized the thing he found was a symbiote.
"So I'm still wearing it, let's see." Said Naruto, making the suit cover his body, smirking behind the mask looking up at the hole he fell through he shot a web at the ledge and pulled himself up smiling for the first time in a long time.
(Flashback- Two Year Ago)
"Tou-san, Kaa-san!" yelled a seven year old Naruto who ran into the house, only to find the place completely empty. Looking around, Naruto saw the house not only clean, but not a single soul was there.
"Tou-san, kaa-san, where are you!?" Still no response. "Mito-chan, Nami-chan, are you guys home?" Nothing.
Naruto continued to look around, but still found no one. Naruto ran up the stairs and down the hall to his parents room. which was left wide open. Naruto was hoping to tell his parents about learning his elemental affinities from Hiruzen-jiji and maybe convince them to train him now with his sisters. He knocked on the door before entering the room, only to find it empty too.
Deciding to look around the room, Naruto walked over to his parents desk and noticed something laying there.
It was a piece of paper that read Clan Heir Documentation.
Being a curious child, Naruto read the paper (he was really smart for his age, even if he was a goofy kid) and was downright crying by the end of the paper.
The paper read:
"Due to circumstances of not only strength and political ingenuity, we; Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, head of the Namikaze and Uzumaki Clans; hereby denounce Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze as Clan Heir of both clans and transfer the titles to Mito Uzumaki as head of the Uzumaki Clan and Nami Namikaze as head of the Namikaze Clan when they reach the age of ten.
This is agreed upon by both Clan Heads:
Minato Namikaze
Kushina Uzumaki"
Naruto could not believe what he just read, he didn't WANT to believe what he just read. His clan heir status, the only real connection he had left emotionally to his family, has been taken from him!
(End Flashback)
Naruto only frowned in that old memory, Naruto saw that they had learned plenty of jutsu, he was able to get the first two steps of the Rasengan, and his clones were still going over the mechanic to the Hiraishin. 'That's good for today is time go back "home".' Naruto thought sarcastically, changing the dark from to his regular clothes.
Once he got back he saw that his 'family' was eating dinner with only four spots. While Naruto stopped caring about his family it still hurt that he was completely forgotten, walking up to his room he didn't notice the look his sisters sent him. Reaching his room Naruto laid down on his bed 'Things are about to get interesting.' He thought going to sleep.
*Next Morning*
"Naruto WAKE UP!" shouted anti-venom, said shocking Naruto who fell out of bed.
anti-venom why you do that.' Naruto thought, rubbing his head.
"Because my boy. we have to start training" anti-venom said inside Naruto's head as while Naruto fixed himself breakfast.
After eating, Naruto left to the training grounds he normal trained.
"Good now make say 500 clones, to continue working on those jutsu from yesterday." Ordered anti-venom, as Naruto made 500 clones went to continued they're training from yesterday.
Naruto nodded and began training in his new anti-venom powers while his clones worked on the jutsu, and increasing his control since it was terrible.
~Few weeks later~
"Very impressive to learn two of the most difficult anti-venom, Venom fighting styles is no easy feet, yet you have done it and I couldn't be prouder" Said anti-venom with pride evident in his voice.
"Thank you anti-venom will that be all for today?"
"Yes I know about you progress in the these fighting style moves but before I can teach you further you most do something"
"Give me your order anti-venom and I swear on my honor it will be done"
"Don't be too hasty Naruto you should hear the mission before excepting, but since you are so eager your mission is to kill every bandit at a small camp located east of here I believe it is near thirty miles away from Konoha " Finished anti-venom looking at the shocked face of Naruto.
"But anti-venom I've never killed before" Said Naruto Looking to the ground "I don't think I can kill in cold blood" He muttered sounding sad that he would disappoint his teacher/ father.
Looking at His student/ son anti-venom couldn't help but think.
"Naruto you are ready for this I know you are, I agree killing in cold blood is wrong but killing to protect those weaker than you is something that I believe in and I hope you learn too as well" Said anti-venom looking as Naruto kept his head down think on his words.
Naruto thought of his sensei's/ father's words over and over again in his head "No one ever looked out for me so maybe if I look out for those weaker than me I can stop people having to go through the same things I did" With that thought in mind Naruto looked up to his sensei/ father with fire in his eyes.
"If I can help people like you helped me then I will even if I have to kill" Exclaimed Naruto with determination.
"Good go and gather all that you think you require then we shall both go, so I can watch you fight" Said anti-venom making Naruto run of and gather his supplies. Naruto could smile in how much he gotten in few weeks of training under his two "brother's" and his new father anti-venom and Karma. Naruto was able to master the Rasengan and began adding his elements to it, which he discovered were all five elements, he was able to add wind to the Rasengan he made the move. Wind Style: Rasenshuriken. He was also able to get a grasp of the Hiraishin as well creating markers that only he could use. But the biggest surprise was during a spar with Shisui.
*Flashback*
Naruto ducked under a kick from Shisui but didn't expect the punch to connect with his face sending him into a tree.
"Come on Naruto you can do better than that." Shouted Shisui, rushing at Naruto. Getting angry Naruto wanted nothing more than to use his symbiote but Shisui forbid him from using it.
Naruto had told Shisui about meeting anti-venom and getting the symbiote. but Naruto didn't tell Itachi since he might tell the Hokage which was something Naruto did not want to happen they might try taking the dark powers and giving it to his sisters.
Suddenly Naruto saw Shisui moving slowly, then stopping and looking at him in shock. Wondering what Shisui was looking at Naruto took out a kunai and stared at his reflection but instead of his ocean blue eyes they were blood red with a tomoe in each eye. Naruto had awakened the sharingan.
Naruto and Shisui were both surprised that he had the sharingan so they did some digging in the Uchiha archives and found out that Kushina was the daughter of Madara Uchiha, but he sealed away her sharingan. So Shisui trained Naruto how to use the sharingan evolving it to three tomoes and even getting it to the mangekyo sharingan, which was a pentagram through shear hard work. Since Shisui also had the mangekyo sharingan they both ran the risk of going blind so Shisui had a shadow clone switch his and Naruto's eyes so that Naruto could gain the eternal mangekyo sharingan.
*End Flashback*
after retrieving his Supply's and took off to where the bandit camp was.
"Man it's going to be a while before I get used to that," Naruto said groaning. Shaking his head to knock out the cobwebs, Naruto stood up and looked around. "I'm going to kill those bandits for harming people. So let's get to work." Naruto's eyes suddenly glowed golden yellow, to let him see in the dark.
After sensing for a few more moments, Naruto felt a large group of people in single area. "Got them," he said as he took off into the trees.
Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is ready for battle.
~Namikaze Compound~
Everyone has just finished training for the day. Kushina was making ramen, while trying to make one of the hardest decisions of her life.
Miso or Pork?
Minato Namikaze had to leave, back to his office, due to a meeting being called. Apparently the Civilian Council wants funding for more civilian stores to be built.
Mito was taking a shower to wash off a hard days work of sweat and mud. Nami on the other hand was bored, already having taken a shower.
Suddenly she remembered something very important...
...she had a brother! Due to all the training she had been going through recently, she had forgot all about him. He would play with her! With that thought in mind, she got up from the couch and went towards the stairs to her older brother's room.
"Where are you going Nami-chan?" Kushina asked her daughter, seeing her going towards the stairs.
"Oh I'm just going to see if Naruto wants to play with me," she replied as she ran up the steps to play with her brother. The mere thought of him playing with her made her smile, since they haven't gotten time to actually be siblings due to all the training.
Kushina on the other hand looked confused for a second. 'Naruto?' she thought before her eyes widened in realization, shock, horror, and finally guilt. 'Oh my god, Naruto! I forgot my own sochi-kun! How could I forget about my only son!? What kind of mother am I?!' She continued this mental thought for a while.
Naruto, her sweet baby boy, never crossed her mind. The one to give light to her world, was completely forgotten. She looked at the set-up on the table and felt even more guilt. Four bowls, five chairs. The chair that they used for guests, but not their own son. Kushina couldn't feel any lower than she does right anyone asked her something about Naruto, she wouldn't be able to answer the question because she didn't KNOW anything. She could name off all of Mito's and Nami's likes, dislikes, future plans, favorite colors and foods, but when she thought of Naruto's..Kushina tried to think of the last time she interacted with Naruto but couldn't find any, getting worried she tried to think of anything she knew about Naruto but found that she didn't even know what his favorite color is.
"What kind of mother am I, I don't even know his favorite color. No matter how hard she thought or how much she prayed to find an answer to anything regarding Naruto personally, she got nothing. She couldn't even think if he liked ramen or not.
She began to cry and sob, 'how could I forget my son, I have to talk to Minato. We have to make things right again!'
"Kaa-san, Mito-chan!" came a slightly panicked cry from upstairs. Kushina instantly knew it was Nami, so she dropped what she was doing and ran upstairs in a matter of seconds.
She found both her daughters looking into a room with worry eteched on their faces. Kushina walked over to the room with worry and feeling herself getting more anxious with each step.
"What's wrong honey?" Kushina asked in as calm a tone as she possibley could.
"Naruto's gone! I can't find him anywhere!" Nami yelled out, causing Kushina's worry to increase.
Kushina looked into her son's room, only for her guilt and worry to grow even more. Naruto's room was extremely bare to be blunt. There was nothing there to indicate that a young boy lived there. The bed was small and neatly made. Not a crease could be found on it anywhere. There was a hamper by the door, but no dirty clothes were there. There was no posters on the walls, no papers anywhere. The room itself was a dull blue that could be mistaken for gray. Spartan with the only decorations being his paintings, 'Did Naruto paint these.' Thought Kushina, grabbing one of a forest with mountains and a waterfall coming down from them going into a lake Kushina looked that the desk had a small book on it, but it looked like it hadn't been opened in years, if the collected dust on it was anything to go by.
Kushina walked over to the book and read the title, "Survival Tactics: Surviving Alone in the Wild". The title was enough to scare her. Picking up the book, a piece of paper fell out as it floated gently to the ground. Picking up the paper, Kushina saw it was a pictures. Looking at it, Kushina nearly burst into tears at what was in the picture. It was a picture of the family, all with happy smiles on their faces. Kushina wore her usual outfit, the green dress with a brown apron over it and her hair brushed down. In front of her was Mito in a white dress and her usual ponytail. To her left was Minato in his Hokage outfit and Nami, who was wearing a blue dress, on his shoulders.
What made her cry was that Naruto was nowhere in the picture. This picture was a year old and even said Namikaze family on the top, but Naruto was nowhere to be found.
Kushina couldn't take it anymore, she let out a cry and sob as she realized just how bad a mother she was. She channeled chakra into her ring, activating the seal inside it.
She needed to speak to Minato now!
