Anyways I'll stop babbling; please enjoy Duckies.

Enjoy; only for you guys:

------------------------------

Minato sighed exasperatedly; his mind was spinning and his life was turned upside down and it seemed that Naruto's sorrow and fears had been passed onto him. His two captors were staring at him as if he had just grown a second head. Minato had no idea how he was going to explain this but he stopped worrying about that when the disaster of a seal finally broke. Where was his baby? Naruto and should merely have become one entity; he wasn't supposed to absorb Naruto's half of his soul so completely and utterly - at least that was what he thought had happened. Minato felt sadness flit through him; was Naruto gone forever whilst he took his place in his body?

Something about this seemed terribly wrong and Minato was very worried. Time seemed to stall as he expanded his senses and tried to find a single touch of Naruto's warm chakra; he hung his head in distress. Blue eye observing the world around him through blonde bangs when there wasn't any response. All the while his mind was working on a strategy to get away from his sudden complicated predicament as the captive of these two.

"Don't Itachi; I can't answer your questions." Minato interrupted before Itachi could even open his mouth to ask a question. Minato's mind was running a mile a minute to try and figure out exactly what had happened and even he couldn't find an explanation; only that he was now fourteen again with the hair of a girl that reached his thighs. The texture felt nice as he ran his fingers through the locks and for some reason Minato felt attached to. That really wasn't appropriate to think about when his son's soul was missing! He berated himself.

'Naruto?' There was no answer to his inner voice and Minato felt his heart breaking; had he lost his little Naru-chan forever? He jerked away when he felt Itachi push something into his hand; it was a black hair tie. Minato stared at it for a while before a small smile broke out over his features. That would at least deal with one of his new problems. But it was useless if it didn't solve his problems.

"I don't know what you did Naruto but that chakra flare wasn't nothing." Minato sighed; he really didn't want to be here and why should he? Naruto was the one who had decided to go along without a fight but Minato believed that it had been a mistake. If only Naruto hadn't been so afraid to ask for protection from his two lovers then this would not be happening. Taking the initiative; Minato decided that he would trust Jiraiya-sensei and Kashi-koi from here on out.

"It's Minato and of course the chakra flow wasn't nothing; I released the seal." He smirked as he watched two eyes turn the size of saucers and fear flit across them. They thought he had released Kyuubi's seal? He chuckled; finally finishing tying the now long blond locks and getting to his feet. Grabbing his cloak and flipping it across his shoulders; his weapons pouch was full and the clink of metal made a sense of familiar calm settle over him.

The position of the moon told him that it was close to the early morning hours; with a stretch of his chakra whilst he closed his eyes Minato thanked Naruto for his ingenious idea of giving Kakashi a Flying Thunder God Kunai. With a silent prayer of protection to his son Minato let his chakra and felt it respond to the half completed seal on Kakashi's kunai. With that Minato realized that they were at least seventeen kilometres away from him; good that would give them an hour head start if they were going to run but Minato nodded to himself; his chakra reserves were full and he also had the help of Kyuubi but he would not use the fox's power. He didn't think he was mentally stable enough to have a single ounce of control over that demon. With a sigh; Minato finished his strategy and he began gathering chakra to his feet and hands.

"You know Itachi; for a genius you were stupid to not study your target more carefully. I may be kind and compassionate but not to the extent that Naruto is; two s-ranked missing Nin’s are not going to be able to hold me. Before I flicker out of existence you can tell your leader that the Kyuubi Jinchuuriki is off limits unless he wants to face the wrath of the Yondaime Hokage. Madara should be able to understand that much." Minato watched as Sharingan eyes widened at the mention of the man's name. He frowned; had he hit a soft spot?

"W-what do you mean?" Minato shrugged giving a non committal reply as he jumped to the tree branch above him just as a smoke bomb exploded behind him; maybe he was toying with them a bit too much? Minato's hands flashed through a series of complicated seals and a striking combination before he felt that odd sensation flit across his body when he used the Flying Thunder God Jutsu over long distances. He was not going to enjoy the consequences of it later but no matter; he wasn't staying there another second. Maybe it would have been better to use a space time jutsu that worked through a portal than this but there was no more time for delays.

Kakashi dozed against Bull's warm body; the large dog always provided the loveliest pillow out in the forest. Pakkun was sleeping on his stomach whilst the rest of the pack was spread around them in a haphazard circle. Kakashi finally felt calm and comfortable enough to think logically; it was almost as if he could forget that Naruto was in trouble. Kakashi sighed, hand gripped around the kunai Naruto had given him on his first mission as a chuunin; he could the see the familiar etching of a seal into the handle and now he finally understood how Naruto had managed to know so much about his father's jutsu. What was it like for Naruto to know that his father was reincarnated in his body and the only thing that kept them apart was a seal? How much pain must he be living with? Kakashi didn't think he could comprehend it; never mind try to understand it but for Naruto he would try his best to be the support he could.

Kakashi jerked when the metal in his hand flared with a rush of heat and chakra brushed over his hand in a continuous stream; a very familiar chakra. What he didn't expect was the impact of a smaller body against his mere milliseconds later. Never mind for the impact make him skid across the ground a few metres away from his comfortable pillow and straight into Jiraiya's hard body mere metres away in front of the fire.

"What the fuck!" Kakashi yelled as he scrambled to his feet with Naruto's kunai in his hand; staring at the teen before him. Such long blonde locks in a familiar golden sheen and the deepest of blue eyes; smooth cheeks and a distressed countenance. Something was off about Naruto and it had nothing to do with the sudden long blonde hair.

"Sorry, Kashi-koi but I really had no intention of bumping into you so hard I just lost control of my chakra during the jutsu." Kakashi was stunned; he couldn't move. The chakra, the features, the voice; it couldn't be and yet it was. It finally hit him and he felt his heart breaking; what had Naruto done?

"Minato?" It had been Jiraiya who had voiced the thoughts that Kakashi couldn't. Knowing that if he admitted it then it would be real; at what cost had they switched? Kakashi was absolutely stunned; he had no idea what had happened but this teen before them was almost exactly like Minato but the sad countenance was just like what he had seen on Naruto many times before. Had the seal been released?

"What's going on?" Kakashi asked bewildered; carefully stepping forward to see if the person in front of him wasn't a mere illusion. He was stopped in his tracks by Jiraiya's voice and a hand gripping the material of his flak jacket to hold him back. He wanted to frown and push forward but he held back; knowing the power Jiraiya held.

"We don't have time to think about this now; we need to move." Kakashi retreated and nodded; Jiraiya was right. They really needed to start moving; both he had Jiraiya stopped in their tracks when Minato fell to his knees, clutching his head in his hands and coughed up bouts of blood and saliva. Kakashi could not bear to watch; rushing forward and kneeling before Minato as he pulled the heaving body against his chest to try and sooth the pain he could see flicker through blue eyes.

"Shhh; I've got you." Kakashi purred softly; his hand patting Minato's back. In situations like these where even he couldn't find a solution to the bewildering events. Kakashi resorted to what he was best at; comfort and offering support and calm his beloved. He didn't know if this was Naruto or Minato; he couldn't tell and Kakashi was really worried. He didn't know what to do. He wasn't really startled when Jiraiya also knelt before the blond haired shinobi and helped him to his feet.

"Minato can you move?" There was a small nod and Jiraiya got ready to pull the teen over his back but was stopped with a shake of Minato's head. Blood running down his chin as tears spilled from blue eyes; that sight was what brought everything to a stop for the elder Sannin.

"G-give me your hands." Jiraiya was bewildered but did as the young Namikaze asked; laying his hand in Minato's and watched as Kakashi did the same. The sudden rush of immense chakra and the black markings of Minato's famous space time no jutsu invaded his sight; Jiraiya flinched when he lurched forward. It felt as if his entire body was on fire as his mind spun; stumbling when his feet reached solid ground.

"So-so-ry I-I didn't mean to do that unannounced but I needed to get here quickly before I pass out." Minato's voice was small and afraid and when Jiraiya noticed Minato's state and the area surrounding him; he sighed. Things couldn't get more complicated.

-----------------------------

Naruto hugged his knees to his chest; the place was cold, harsh and dark and yet so stifling with the feeling of fear. The scent that drifted in his nose was definitely the scent of blood and that was the reason why he clenched his eyes shut; refusing to open them to look. Naruto didn't know where he was or what was happening but he knew it had something to do with the seal. His chakra felt worn out and he was afraid for the first time; he was living in a nightmare.

Such harsh screams and immense pain. Squeezing across his heart and lancing down his spine. Naruto shook his head; reminding himself that he was Namikaze Naruto - son of the Yondaime Hokage and student and apprentice of Ero-Sennin and Kakashi-sensei. He nodded to himself; memories flashing in front of his eyes where he had felt happy and calm. Had he really smiled so carelessly? Did the younger him know the pain that awaited him? He had to stop the pain from overwhelming him as he desperately tried to find confidence again.

'Naruto? Where are you? Naruto! NARUTO?!' Naruto shuddered; did he ever know such a gentle and kind voice? It was familiar, warm and it made him want to cry out in relief. Would someone come to save from this dark, blood filled room that reminded him so much of his nightmares? His black heart was refusing to believe it...

'Naruto? Where's your mom? You don't have one do you? So sad; she won't be able to help you anymore...'

"Tou-chan?! I can't find Kaa-chan!" Naruto whispered brokenly; why was responding? He wasn't supposed to trust anyone; not after that night at the Kyuubi no Kitsune Festival. Small hands gripped at blonde hair as whimpers escaped his lips; he didn't want to be here. He wanted to be with Kakashi and Jiraiya; why had he released the seal again? He couldn't remember. All he remembered was the pain, fear and that he had lost his will to live and yet; he was regretting it now.

'Naruto?!' Naruto shook his head; hands clapping over his ears. He didn't want to hear anymore. He didn't want to see anymore; he had done enough damage. In his distressed state Naruto shattered the seal on his chakra and it poured out of him in an erratic pattern. He couldn't think; he didn't want to think anymore and yet he couldn't help worrying. What had he done?

~

Jiraiya sat on the floor next to the futon where a sleeping body laid; Minato's chest was moving up and down erratically and the ragged sound of his laboured breaths was worrying for the Sannin. He had an inkling feeling that something had gone wrong with the seal inside of Naruto and now Minato had been released and Naruto had taken his father's place in the seal. He sighed; fingers curling around the scroll in his hand possessively. He had never known the strong emotions Naruto felt for him and made him guilty for not noticing it sooner; would this be the last keepsake from a broken child who he had failed so completely?

"Jiraiya-sama? Get some sleep. We need to figure all this out tomorrow and you need rest." Jiraiya merely shook his head at the young silver haired shinobi who was standing by his side with a hand resting on his shoulder.

"Don't patronize your elder’s boy; you're the one who should rest. I'll watch over him; your strength it going to be needed more than mine." Jiraiya noted as he shooed the younger shinobi away from him and out of the room; he wanted to be alone and try and figure out what to do next. Could he save Naruto from his predicament and would it work? He knew he was happy to see Minato but it was Naruto that his heart was calling out to. He had long since forgiven his student for giving up his life to save the village and come to terms with his sacrifice and now his reappearance was stirring regrets and remorse, guilt and fear up inside of him.

He wanted innocent little Naruto in his arms; the Naruto who he should be looking after not damaging more; to be by his side. He wanted the one who had written him the words of a genius in the most heartbreaking goodbye he had ever read. He wiped at his eyes to stem the flow of his tears but it wasn't working; a few drops of salty liquid dripped through his fingers and onto his clothes. He bent his head in sorrow; dark eyes closing as anger washed over him. Wha had he done?

In the dim light of the shimmering candle; dark eyes observed his student with sorrow. Fingers cracking open the seal of the scroll resting on his lap; words swimming in his vision as he fought off the immense sadness that bubbled in his heart.

'I honestly don't know how to explain myself to you Ero-Sennin; and hush I know you are screaming in your head that I should call you Jiraiya-sama. To me you'll always be my Ero-Sennin; I'll be the only that can call you that because of what you mean to me. I am sure what I am about to do is the hardest decision that I have ever had to make; I cannot deny these emotions anymore and for some reason I cannot help but want to run away from them.

The first night you found me Jiraiya-sensei; I knew that I had found someone very important to me; someone I could put all my trust in. I also knew that you would make a profound difference in my life and you did. I cannot remember feeling so at ease with myself as I am with you; the father I never had and the gentle lover that I can only wish to have.

My pain vanished temporarily the moment you merely touched me in a simple touch of comfort. Kakashi taught me things about my body I never knew but it was you that taught me how to trust again and that was what was most important to me. Even now I trust you with my life and that is why I am going willingly with the Akatsuki; despite Tou-chan's objections.

For all that you have to done for me; I want to give you back the reassurance that Konoha will be safe and you will have the life you always wanted. I've realized now that I fell in love with you the moment you showed me the kindness that I have been deprived of my entire life. However I also know your chivalry will not allow you to love someone like me and that is why I am leaving; like the time you went to look for Tsunade-sama it broke me enough to make me weak enough to pick up a fever in my distress.

It was the first time I realized the large part of my heart you had started to occupy. Ero-Sennin; you must promise that you will continue to be yourself. Don't ever change, not that sunlight personality that I have come to covet so much and can never really replicate myself. The change you brought over my world is phenomenal and I can feel the guilt for not being there to offer myself to you wholly; as I would do if you merely asked.

You were the one that saw my pain, felt it and tried to help me deal with it. Given time I would have belonged to you wholly and completely but I guess fate had once again started to stir and had decided I am unworthy of the love I have been offered. Tou-chan believes I am wrong and too soft hearted for my own good but he doesn't understand that I will never be able to forgive myself if you get pulled into a fight that could take your life.

Chase after that bastard for me; Ero-Sennin. As a last request I beg of you to show Sasuke the care and kindness you have shown me because I know deep down he is hurting more than I am. I cannot be there for him because he refuses to leave his hatred behind but you can get through to him; do that for me please?

Before I end this I ask that you look after yourself as well; don't be brash and hasty, that is usually my department and tell Gamabunta that he would have been a great friend if I had gotten the chance to talk to him properly. May you never give up and I will always be there to protect you; weather I am dead or no longer there. Kakashi-sensei will also need you now; you will be the only one left to sooth the anger and fears that my disappearance will evoke within him.

A last thought my beloved Ero-Sennin; if something unexpected happens I trust you to make the right decision. I love you more than anyone in this world and it isn't mere affection but real love; like the love Tou-chan shared with Fugaku-sama. I hope this will not make you hate me but regardless of that I will always be with you.

All My Unrequited Love

Naruto.'

"Naruto; you have no idea what you mean to me." Jiraiya said softly; dark eyes closing as he loosened the tie in his hair and allowed a waterfall of white to cascade around him and on the floor. He wanted his little ball of sunshine back; his little Naruto so that he could squeeze him to death and tell him how wrong he was. Jiraiya did love little Naruto; more than a mentor should and much more intensely than a father figure would be allowed to.

His beautiful little Naruto; who he wanted to hide away from the world. Now that Minato had taken Naruto's place Jiraiya felt torn; Minato was long gone, dead and not supposed to be here and yet even now Jiraiya couldn't help but feel doubts for his love. Who did he love more? Who did he want more and who did he want by his side every single day from now on? His mind was spinning in continuous circles and Jiraiya felt dizzy; he didn't know the answer he couldn't fine it. Couldn't understand his own conviction.

Minato was back; the one person who had failed so spectacularly that he wasn't even there for his funeral and Naruto. The little, broken but always hopeful shinobi who was so much like the person they had all known and yet so fundamentally different and much more than his father ever was.

"J-Jiraiya-sensei; stop thinking so much. Y-you're going to h-hurt yourself." A voice rasped and dark eyes snapped up to lock with tearful blue eyes; the sadness he saw swirling in those depths were enough to make his breath hitch. Minato was awake but why didn't he feel as relieved as he should have been?

"J-Jiraiya-sensei; I can feel him." Blue eyes shimmered in determination and sorrow.

"He's locked himself in the deepest part of Kyuubi's cage; completely covered by the Kitsune's tails. You're the only one who can get him to come out and finish the merge; it was interrupted by his sorrow and it never finished and as a result I took his place. Please Jiraiya-sensei; I'm not supposed to take his life from him; he belongs to this generation not me. I was happy where I was; knowing I had been loved. It is his turn now to feel the love I had; give it to him, show him and don't you dare hurt him." Minato said softly; blue eyes shifted closed as he turned his head to the side. Long blonde hair falling over his face in a shimmer of gold.

"Are you sure?" Jiraiya asked with conviction; he was fearing that Naruto may be lost to the conscience of the Youma (1*). He jerked when he heard a broken chuckled spilling from Minato's lips.

"He won't answer my calls and after the first brush of his chakra I was so happy to learn he was still there and when I tracked his chakra it was deep within Kyuubi's cage; so yes I am sure and I also know that at this moment he is living through his nightmares one by one and slowly losing his sanity. You have to hurry sensei; please. Save my son from himself and drag him from Kyuubi and I'll take it from there."

"He's a stubborn brat." Jiraiya remarked with a fondness that bubbled in his heart. He was being given one last gift from this person before him...

"That he is." Minato agreed softly before gathering the chakra to his fingertips and pulling Jiraiya on top of him; his forehead resting against the Sannin's as he allowed for the jutsu to take effect. He was leaving everything in Jiraiya's hands and trusting the man with his son's life; like he did many years ago when he named the Sannin his child's godfather. Hoping that Jiraiya would take his child and raise him with love but that had never happened. He was giving his sensei one last chance to right what he had wronged...
