Pairing: Yaoi M/M – seme Naruto x many
Last Time:
With his girls tucked safely into bed and guarded by several shadow clones he was ready to confront their mother … Kushina has much to answer for …
XXXXXXXXXX
Ibiki looked at the bodies of the dead prisoners, which have been moved to beds to have medics examine them to find out what poison was used “where are the medics?”
The ninja outside the cells answered “they just arrived and everyone in the building not accounted for during the time of death are in the interrogation rooms”
“good” Ibiki nodded in approval and stepped aside as the two appointed medics were guided into the room.
Anko looked up as Ibiki stepped outside the cells “how did this happen?” she asked curiously.
“we’ll find out soon” Ibiki growled. The hokage just left him in charge moments ago and he won’t let him down “what’s the verdict?”
“the bodies were found curled up near the doors of theirs cells. From what I saw and the report of the guard who found them it seems simple. The person knew them, knew they were caught despite us keeping it as quiet as possible, knew the shift change routines and all the prisoners knew this person and what they would bring in such a circumstance. That’s why Haru didn’t talk, he knew someone was coming … maybe there’s another inside man like the hokage mentioned” commented Anko.
“it is possible, but we checked everyone for any signs. So far Boar and two medics were the only ones being blackmailed or threatened … who ever it is could be one of Danzo’s real ROOT agents or allies who have a means of getting information” Ibiki reasoned logically
A minute later the medic came out of the cell “we have the poison results. It’s a very strong and fast acting drug made by a set of plants, but it has to be freshly made. The oils of those plants can be detected. A simple test will show who handled it in the last seven hours” the medics handed the interrogator in charge the papers containing the results.
Ibiki nodded as he went over the papers “good … we’ll test each person first” he handed Anko the results and took the kit from the medics.
“that’ll be easy since there are only six people unaccounted for … should we test everyone just to be sure?” asked Anko after she took stock of the powder used to detect this particular poison in the kit that Ibiki opened.
“yes … we can’t leave any room for error. We’ll test everyone even if we get a hit” said Ibiki.
The two interrogators tested themselves first and the each guard. Once they were deemed clean they moved onto the staff members. Each time a small amount of the white powder was brushed onto the palms of the participant and each time so far the powder remained white, but then they moved onto the six people that were in a few separate interrogation rooms.
With the suspects narrowed down Ibiki stepped passed the room where a certain casino owner was whimpering and into the first room. He brushed the man’s hands and searched for anything on his person that could be used to hold the poison and proceeded to brush those. There was a very small discoloring in the powder on the back of his thumb, but Ibiki didn’t feel it was all that important. This man could’ve brushed up against the culprit and some was transferred, but he made a mental note to watch the man just in case. Anko took some powder and made this go faster by proceeding to brush three other people as Ibiki continued the investigation with the other two people …
All negative … Ibiki sighed “how could no one except that one man have- … Anko? What are you doing?”
“I have one last person to test” she said with a whine and promptly shoved the container of powder into Ibiki’s hands “you do it! You are the one in charge!” she flopped onto the floor cross legged and crossed her arms over her chest clearly refusing to go in the room.
Ibiki raised an eyebrow at his colleague’s actions and looked into the window in the door to see what spooked Anko. He winced himself when he saw the hokage’s wife sitting there, but went into the room anyway “Kushina this is a surprise … what are you doing here at this late hour?”
It was 1:17 … Ibiki didn’t know it, but Minato was currently watching Jen taunt his scared daughters.
“oh well … Minato came to the compound to make sure we were ok and he looked so stressed that I couldn’t go back to sleep. I came to see him and make sure he’s ok. I didn’t expect this to happen though. What’s going on? Is Minato ok?” she asked worriedly.
“errr … I can’t give you details, but I can ensure you that the hokage is fine” he said trying to work up the nerve to ask the hokage’s wife to consent to the test and a search of her person.
Kushina gave a relieved sigh “thank heavens … I’m glad to hear that. Can I go?. I want to get back home before my children even know I was gone. God I hope Kana didn’t wake up from a nightmare while I was gone” said the red head with concern rolling off her in waves.
“I’m sorry, but we can’t let you through the lock down until this situation is cleared up and the hokage gets back … excuse me” he got up and left trying to ignore feeling of eyes boring into his back. Kushina is usually nice, but only when she gets her way. If he did this wrong she would go complain to Minato.
The second the door closed Anko smirked “you chickened out” Ibiki shot her a glare, but before he could say anything Minato came into the hall.
“the medics filled me in. Has everyone been tested for the poison?” asked the hokage who looked very tense.
“so far everyone is clean except for an insignificant trace that has been found on the back of one man’s hand, but” Ibiki sighed “the last person hasn’t been tested yet is um … your wife”
“I see” Minato’s eyes hardened “I want her tested” he glanced at the purple haired kunoichi and handed her a note “would you give this message to Shibi and assist him if you have to? Tell several guards to come to this room too” Anko took the note and skimmed it since it involved her as well. She nodded seriously and left immediately.
Ibiki raised an eyebrow, but nodded “yes sir, I’ll test Kushina then” he went back into the room and sat in front of the red haired woman “if I could have your hands he can get this over with before you know it”
“my hands? Why? What’s -… Minato!” she leapt up and hugged the blonde hokage ot noticing the fact that his teeth clenched and didn’t return the hug. Minato felt like someone was ripping his insides to shreds and sitting back to laugh at is misery. He adored the woman holding him. He had children with her. Even now he loved her and wanted desperately wanted to hold her … to pretend this night didn’t happen, but his daughters … the looks of fear, betrayal and sadness on theirs faces kept him from giving in to his love for a woman who quite possibly never existed “what’s going on here honey? I certainly didn’t do anything. Tell him this is foolish” she shot Ibiki a smug glare sure that her husband would save her.
Minato studied her for a second … when has she ever been smug? Always? Is he only now noticing? “Ibiki is just going to preform a little test to see if you handled any poisons in the last few hours”
“but that’s silly … come on honey, you know I didn’t do anything with poison” Kushina frowned “this is a joke right Minato … Minato?” she scowled as the hokage clearly looked serious and a few guards stood outside of the room. She sat back down and showed Ibiki her palms.
A relieved Ibiki brushed the powder on the red head’s hands … the white powder immediately turned black all over her hands … it was positive …
“it’s positive hokage-sama” Ibiki said avoiding the woman’s glare.
“that means nothing! I was with many other people. Someone could’ve rubbed some on me!” Kushina argued.
Ibiki, who was feeling more at ease, shook his head “we tested everyone and searched everyone else. You’re the only one with anything more than a simple transfer”
Kushina was about to snap when Minato asked a simple question “where is Mito and Kana?”
It was a simple question really, but she told two stories for it “I told you honey”
“yes, you claimed they were with friends” said Minato.
The interrogator frowned “you said you wanted to go home before they woke up implying that they were there”
XXXXXXXXXX
Naruto sighed as he fused his tattoos back to his body. They returned only moments ago with the startling information on what happened with Danzo “Kushina huh … damn” he felt torn there. On one hand he was a bit happy that he didn’t have to bond with the woman, but he felt terrible for Minato and those little girls of his. He decided to stop by tomorrow to see how they were doing. Unfortunately it looks like he won’t be getting sleep tonight with everything going on so he went down to the kitchen and started heating the kettle for some tea.
A blonde eyebrow rose as he spotted two familiar insects on his countertop. He was sure those were Shibi’s insects. What did that mean?
Suddenly the three ROOT agents who were currently following him … and clearly cut off from information otherwise they would be with Danzo now … seemed startled and even at this distance Naruto could sense that their chakra was being drained from their bodies. The blonde sensed the weakened ROOT agents fall and hit the ground. Soon after four ninjas took the ROOT agents away two of which were Shino and Shibi.
Before the insects could scuttle away Naruto grabbed them “now you know it’s rude to wander into someone’s home without permission” he whispered a set of ‘punishments’ to the insects and let them fly off … he swore he heard the nosebleeds from the bug ninjas not far away.
XXXXXXXXXX
Kushina winced “I ummm they came back after you left-”
“Danzo and Jen are in the lower cells. Granted the old warhawk hasn’t said anything, but Jen is a different story. What do you think she told us? Who do you think we found at that hideout?” Minato asked as his fists clenched. He was trying so hard to keep it together.
The red head stared at the hokage for a few seconds before looking down at her hands “those things ruined it again”
“things?” Minato looked confused for a second before slamming his hands against the table “are you calling our children ‘things’? They are your children too and so was … Arashi” he had to paused and collect himself for a split second otherwise he would’ve shouted Naruto instead of Arashi. He wasn’t sure if she knew. She most likely suspected, but he couldn’t risk confirming anything.
“I ONLY WANTED YOU! … not those disgusting things, but no … you love them more than me! We don’t need them Minato, you have me, you shouldn’t need them” she snapped.
“I loved you all, but they are my children! Why the hell would you be so cruel to them by giving them to Jen? I know what she does! What horrific business she’s into to. Is that what you did to Arashi? Gave him up because I spent too much time with him?!” before Minato completely lost his temper two guards and Ibiki pulled him from the room.
Ibiki felt furious too, but crimes of this scale had to be handled properly “hokage-sama you have to calm down. I will talk to her and get all your answers, which you can’t get if you kill her”
Minato exhaled loudly and glared at the shocked woman still in the room “after I lost Arashi I was considering leaving you because it felt like you didn’t really care. I only stayed and continued to love you because you convinced me that you were mourning too. If I lost those girls our marriage would be done and it is over” he left not caring to look at the look of disbelief no the woman’s face.
The lock down was over … Minato’s marriage was over … now he needed to rest and talk to someone. He wasn’t even sure what place he landed at until the door opened revealing the tattoo artist.
Naruto took one look at the hokage and frowned “I’ll get the wine” Minato came into the home and shut the door.
“sorry about stopping by … I couldn’t be around Mito and Kana in this state. My clones can take care of them until I get my head straight” Minato said as he sat down n the couch.
“don’t worry about it. Besides I need someone to sit with for a while … a side effect of using so many tattoos at once is that I can’t sleep for a few hours or I could have trouble waking up again like a concussion” Naruto explained as he came back with a large bottle of wine.
The hokage actually looked concerned “I’m sorry you had to push yourself”
“it’s fine. It’ll be safe soon, but I can’t drink with you in this state. Strictly tea for me, but that could be for the better. I have the feeling you’re a troublemaking drunk” Naruto chuckled as he handed Minato a glass of wine.
Minato half expected sake, but he just needed to drink something so he took a drink of the red wine “better than sake … how the hell did this happen?”
Naruto sipped his tea and shrugged “how did it start?”
The hokage took a big gulp of the wine and pondered “Kushina came into my academy class after losing her clan … I remember admiring her fieriness, but nothing really beyond that. I helped her in a few bullying situations and it … got kind of weird. Inoichi said she was a stalker fangirl and that I should stay away from her”
“well that advice was clearly followed” Naruto muttered sarcastically “I take it you didn’t agree” he raised an eyebrow when he saw Minato subconsciously scratched his head with his free hand.
“actually … I agreed with him … she scared me a little and … can’t remember what changed that. I know I love her, but when did it start … I saved her in the war and it just came out of no where- … shit” Minato put his glass down on the table “my head is burning”
The tattoo artist put his cup down “let me see” Naruto moved over and parted some hair on the hokage’s head to see the scalp and frowned “I’ll be right back” Naruto darted out of the room came back with his sketchpad. Minato felt a sinking feeling as Naruto went back and forth from looking at his to marking his sketchpad … soon a seal appeared on the pad.
Minato gulped “she put a loyalty seal on me …”
