/Author's comments;
Last time:
Mito made a chakra scalpel and approached the dome, She growled when the dome flicked her chakra away. So she tried again, but this time she stuck her hands in the dome first and pushed her chakra in. Mito didn't notice a tear leave Kurama's eye as he felt agonizing pain as the 'Root' grew.
The 'Net' got bigger
The leaves started to part
XXXXXXXXXX
Mito never saw Hinata approach her from behind and fall in to her clans signature stance "Gentle fist : 64 palms" Hinata knocked the bratty genin out cold with only a few jabs. Hinata glared at Mito before racing down the hall to find Naruto and Kakashi.
XXXXXXXXXX
Kakashi looked at Naruto "you don't completely trust us, do you?"
Naruto adjusted his spectacles "why do you think that?"
"the fact that I'm only just now finding out that you deal with man eating plants! And now that I think about it, you only told us about mana, but you didn't tell us how you learned it or if someone taught you. You seem open with me and all of the others, but we don't even know where you live-"
Naruto picked up the bowl with the salve and started to leave the room"the salve is done, we should get to Kurama ... and to answer your question Kakashi-sensei, I don't know. I just don't know how to trust you or the Namikazes again. A part of me knows that you all feel bad, but another part is waiting for the other shoe to drop"
Kakashi was about to say something but Hinata came running them screaming "Naruto, Mito put her hands in your barrier and pushed chakra into the 'Net'!"
Naruto and Kakashi broke into a run back to the main chamber with Hinata hot on their heels. They knew the salve was useless now.
The second they entered the chamber they saw the 'Net' finish spreading its leaves.
The count down began! They had only 30 seconds and one chance to save Kurama's life!

"Kakashi-sensei give me a kunai"
28
The copycat tossed Naruto a kunai and the glasses wearer thrust both his hands and the kunai into the nearest fire golem to sterilize himself.
27
"sensei, tell me the second you smell almonds or garlic" Naruto put the numbing salve on Kurama to ease some of his pain and made an incision just under the rib cage and stuck his fingers in "I'm so so sorry Kurama, I know this hurts just bear with me"

Kakashi leaned in "Naruto Almonds!" their fears of losing a teammate grew as each second ticked by.

Naruto quickened his pace and felt something that burned his fingers. It was the acidic substance! He found the spot! He just had to get the 'Root'!

He felt the 'Root', grabbed it and pulled. A smooth black vine was extracted from Kurama saving him from danger. A fraction of a second later Kakashi smelled garlic and a ball popped out of the tip of the 'Root' and rolled to the floor. That ball was the 'Core'!
Naruto relaxed, dispelled his dome barrier and removed the rest of the 'Root' and the 'Net' "he's fine now, but I wouldn't recommend any jumping jacks for a while. Just give him an hour to get over the original paralytic"
Naruto and Hinata took Kurama and Mito outside to the medical tent for treatment. Kakashi got up to follow them, but paused briefly to look at the 'Core'. He picked it up and went outside. The scientists were setting up for dinner and had a big bonfire going. Kakashi looked at the 'Core' once more before throwing it into the blazing fire.
The jonin sighed as he watched the 'Core' burn "I'm getting too old for this ... I wonder if Minato-sensei is having a better day than I am"

"... and those will be the new changes to the academy curriculum. Are there any objections or suggestions?" asked Minato
The shinobi council members shook their heads, they were happy with the changes since it would greatly improve survival rates for future ninja. However, some civilians weren't happy.
A fat civilian council member stood up "Hokage-sama, you can't do that, you'll push out the civilians in the academy!"
Minato smiled "that's why I recommended the after school class. Are you speaking of the civilian children with families that make up 5% of our ninja force? Yes you are, well did you know that most of our ninja force comes from orphans and that most of them are children that come from civilian families. There has been a drop in civilians with families, but the number of civilian orphans graduating from the academy has increased over the years. The only difference between these two groups is that orphans tend to grow up faster. If there is a child who is more interested in flower arranging or waltzing than being a ninja then they should go somewhere else. If there's a child who doesn't put in the effort to become stronger then they should find something else to do. There's more to a village than ninja, but we should take this opportunity to help teach our future ninjas to survive not arrange flowers"
A pink haired civilian council member stood up "I agree hokage-sama, if my niece decides to become a ninja I want her to have the best chance possible and be as prepared as she can be. I only have one problem and that would be Inoichi-san doing laps on the ceiling, would someone get him down?!" the Yamanaka clan head has been running around the room like a mad man since the meeting started.
Momo, who has been sitting on the table the entire time, burst into hysterical laughter "I know you only poked around that brats brain because you were told to, but you did end up digging up my son's secrets. I believe that warrants a punishment and what better way to punish a former sugar addict than to possess him and make him eat a dozen sweets. Lucky for you, you aren't my main target" she glared at Minato
"blahhhhh babla aahblah blah blaaah " said the crazy man on a sugar high.
Shikaku sighed "he says he didn't mean to, he was possessed and made to eat the sweets"
Minato wondered if was true as he asked "is there anything we can do to calm him down?"
"not really, it's best to let it run it's course" said Choza
Minato sighed "well, lets continue the meeting then. If there are no objections then I will get the changes started, but there is one thing I'd like to discuss first and has to do with the financials of the classes I intend to remove. I noticed that only a small fraction of the money budgeted for each has been used in the actual class, the rest disappeared. I had my anbu investigate and it seems that you Danzo are the one responsible. Arrest him"
The anbu grabbed, not Danzo, but the fat civilian council member "what are you doing? Get your hands off me and arrest Danzo!" screamed the fat man
Danzo smirked "you must really think we're stupid! Did you really think you could frame me? That the investigation would stop once they saw that everything pointed at me? You're wrong! The hokage continued searching and found all the rest of the money in your account" and the anbu dragged the civilian away
Danzo turned to Minato "thank you hokage-sama for looking further into things"
Minato smiled "think nothing of it Danzo, besides the frame up was pretty obvious"
The remaining council members started talking about the academy and the changes about to take place. They didn't notice Minato zone out as he remembered a nightmare Momo gave him recently. The dream took place at his home in the living room. A small blonde boy with whisker marks was at the top of the stairs. The boy was talking to a dream version of Momo so he had to be Naruto. When 'dream Momo' left Naruto started down the stairs. Suddenly, Naruto froze and fell down the stairs. He was shaking violently and gushing blood from a cut to the head when he fell. Minato freaked out and tried to help Naruto, but the hokage couldn't move at all. Then he heard Momo's voice in the dream 'I thought I should remind you of what happened during Naruto's first seizure' just then 'dream Momo' came back and kneeled next to Naruto trying to sooth him. Then a dream version of himself came in and stepped over Naruto and through Momo and left the room. He saw dream Momo glare at the dream version of him with intense hatred.
He remembered that dream and that day.
He heard Naruto fall, he saw him convulsing and bleeding, but he did nothing! He understood why Momo hated him. Hell, he hated himself!
"hokage-sama these ideas are really good ... you ok? You look tired" said Choza
Minato was broken out of his daze "I haven't been sleeping well and thank you, but I can't the credit. My daughter's teammate Naruto Kurosaki came up with these ideas" Not one person was surprised! That hurt Minato because it meant that everyone knows Naruto better then him.
Fugaku smirked "are you having problems sleeping because of 'ghosts' again, hokage-sama". A few council members snickered. Minato has been insisting that ghosts were real for weeks, but no one believes him.
Momo decided to possess the blonde. The lights flickered and every council member saw a glowing orb hover over the table. Minato knew what was going to happen. Momo was going to possess him again. So he ran from the room while yelling "everyone's dismissed!" with the orb following him.
All the council members were stunned at what they saw and Fugaku stood up and said "I propose that we didn't see what just happened" and for the first time in Konoha's history the entire council agreed on something!
The pink haired woman stood up "should we get someone to help the hokage with that thing we didn't see?"
They decided that it was Minato's problem and even though they never admitted to seeing anything that day, they never teased Minato again!
XXXXXXXXXX
Kushina woke up and felt a pain on her stomach and back. She saw long scratches that looked like someone raked their fingernails down her flesh. She heard someone enter her room and saw Minato.
"hi Minato, I thought you had an early meeting-" Kushina screamed as Minato charged forward and slashed at her with a kunai "Minato what are doing?"
Minato grabbed Kushina by the throat and Kushina saw his eyes and knew who it really was "Momo please stop-gah" she gagged when Momo/Minato squeezed her neck.
Momo/Minato glared "why should I? You never stopped when Naruto asked. I won't stop until you know what he went through, especially the fear of not knowing when someone will unleash their anger on you and lash out!"
A glowing orb left Minato and he immediately dropped Kushina "Kushina! I'm so sorry, are you ok?"
Kushina nodded as she coughed and rubbed her throat "Minato, what have we done?"
The treatment Momo has been putting them through has made them realize how Naruto has felt and what he's been through. The fear of not knowing they would take out their anger on him and knowing there was little he could do about it before his mana training and it made them cry. They were crying completely unaware of a certain specter watching with a satisfied smirk.
XXXXXXXXXX
Now back at the dig site. The site was mostly empty since all the scientists were down in the tomb, except for Kurama and Mito who were recovering in their beds in the medical tent and Kakashi who was yelling at Mito.
"DAMMIT Mito you could have killed your brother! Are you even going to say sorry?" yelled a pretty pissed off jonin.
"I was doing just fine helping Kurama-nii until that bitch stopped me!" screeched Mito
Hinata and Naruto entered the tent "excuse me! Who are you calling a bitch?! I stopped you from feeding chakra to a chakra eating plant!" said the Hyuga heiress
"I didn't know it ate chakra" shrugged Mito
"that's the biggest lie yet" said Yoko
Naruto frowned "Yoko-san says differently" and Mito shot him a glare.
Kakashi rubbed his temples trying to relieve his growing headache "it doesn't matter! We'll figure out if Mito's lying later. Did you two get rid of the 'Demon Eaters'?"
Naruto nodded "Hinata and I destroyed the last of them before the archeologists got down the stairs"
Kurama winced as he sat up revealing his bandaged stomach "that's good to hear"
Naruto smiled "I'm glad you're doing better Kurama, but could do me a favor?" Kurama perked up "the next time you want to know what it feels like to have seed in you, just borrow Kakashi-sensei's book"
Everyone, except Mito, burst out laughing as Kakashi clutched his perverted book protectively to his chest daring anyone to try and take his precious!
XXXXXXXXXX
About a week later team 7 and Kurama reached the gates of Konoha were Kushina, Menma and Arashi were waiting for them.
"Minato got your report and had us meet you, Kurama are you ok?" asked a worried Kushina
Kushina blinked and looked around. She saw Naruto, Kurama, Hinata and Kakashi, but no Mito "where's Mito?" Naruto and Kakashi stepped to the side revealing a black sphere floating behind them.
The red head sweat dropped "she's in the sphere, isn't she?"
Kakashi eye was twitching madly "she was making trouble so I asked Naruto if he had a spell to stop her and he suggested this soundproof sphere" Kushina sighed and continued fussing over Kurama all the way to Minato's office.
A concerned Minato hugged Kurama as he and the others entered his office "thank god you're all right, tell me everything that happened" he said as Naruto released Mito from her timeout in the sphere.
After a lengthy explanation from Kakashi, Hinata and Naruto, Minato said "thank you, if it wasn't for you three Kurama would not be here, Hinata you are dismissed" Hinata left and Minato turned to Mito "tell me honestly, did you hear Hinata explain about the 'Demon Eater' when she came for Kakashi?"
Mito looked like she was going to cry as she shook her head "no I didn't, why do think I would hurt Kurama-nii?"
"Liar!" yelled Yoko
Naruto raised an eyebrow "then why does Yoko-san say otherwise?"
Mito glared "would you shut up! Why should anyone believe you or that demon?"
Kushina put her hands on her hips "you forget Mito, I used to be Yoko's vessel, I know him. Now Yoko can be annoying" "Hey!" "he can be self-absorbed " "HEY!" "and he isn't a good singer" "You just don't know talent!" "but he is not a liar! So tell us the truth!"
"I didn't know" said Mito
Minato turned to Naruto "Naruto, what is Yo-"
Minato was cut off when Mito snapped "Why are you asking him? You don't even if he's telling the truth?"
Naruto nodded "valid point, so let's cut out the middle man" Naruto slapped Mito on the back and red tennis ball sized ball popped out of her stomach.
The red ball turned into a fox "Sweet! I'm free!" the fox looked up and gave a girly squeal "I Shrunk!"
Narutoi smiled "actually, Yoko-san, you're not free. I just moved your consciousness into a golem"
Yoko pouted "you couldn't have given me a bigger golem"
The glasses wearer rolled his eyes (Every bodies a critic)
The Namikazes and Kakashi started asking Yoko questions about Mito and it became obvious that Mito was lying.
Yoko said "I'm going to suggest therapy or something cause your daughter is insane!"
Minato had his anbu escort Mito home and told them to watch her. Naruto said good-bye to Yoko and dispelled the golem.
Once Mito was gone Momo floated into the room and hugged Naruto "Naru-chan I missed you! How was your first C rank?"
Naruto smiled "I missed you too, Mom. I'll tell you later, ok"
Everyone paled and looked positively terrified when Naruto started talking to Momo.
Naruto sighed "Mom, its been five weeks, maybe you should consider a truce or something" every looked at the glasses wearer hoping that Momo will consider it.
Momo started twirling Naruto's hair in her fingers "Naru-chan would you mind if they visited our home?" Naruto shook his head "then invite them"
"my Mom says she will consider a truce if you follow me" suffice to say, they followed.
XXXXXXXXXX
Minato, Arashi, Kushina, Menma, Kurama and Kakashi followed Naruto into a cave.
"Naruto, where are we?" asked Kakashi
"my home" the glasses wearer ignored the stares as he reached the end of the cave and touched the wall. A door appeared shocking all those behind the magic user. Naruto opened the door revealing the beautiful meadow. The six onlookers were in awe as they followed Naruto down a path to three buildings. Naruto went to the large greenhouse and let them in.
Momo made herself visible to everyone "Naru-chan, could you leave? I want to speak to them alone"
Naruto shrugged "fine, but no killing or throwing potions" just before he left he said "and don't go in the back the 'Demon Eaters' are in bloom" he left and shut door leaving six scared people alone with his mother. Why were they scared you might ask? Well, they're scared because Momo started sulking when Naruto gave them the warning about the 'Demon Eaters'! She really wanted to kill them!
Momo pointed at a stack of empty flower pots "each of you take one pot and fill it with dirt" as they filled their pots Momo flew over to a shelf and came back with a little bag of seeds and a book "each of you take one seed and put it in your pot then channel your chakra in"
The second they pushed their chakra into the soil the seed began sprouting. They watched in amazement as each plant grew right before their eyes. A minute later they had six fully grown flowers and each flower looked different.
Momo opened the book and examined their flowers "these are special flowers called Mirror Hearts, they reflect the heart of a person. This book tells how to decode the flowers so I can see what kind of people you really are"
She looked at Kushina's plant. Her flower was bright orange with red streaks. It showed a kind, out going and feisty nature.
She looked at Kakashi's plant. His flower was yellow with a pink center. It showed a lazy, perverted and slightly closed off nature.
She looked at Minato's plant. His flower was light blue with white flecks. It showed a calm, collected and open minded nature.
She looked at Menma's plant. His flower was bright red with white streaks. It showed a kind, out going and open minded nature.
She looked at Arash's plant. His flower was light blue with white and orange streaks. It showed a calm, collected nature with a feisty side.
She looked at Kurama's plant. His flower was light purple with white center. It showed a quiet, timid and open minded nature.
All their flowers displayed strong, good and loving traits and they were all ragged, meaning that they were feeling guilty.
Momo slammed the book on the table making everyone flinch "I don't get it. You're all loving and open minded. So What happened?! Why did you treat Naruto so horribly? Look at his flower! Do you see that scar? That's you people"
Momo pointed at a big beautiful dark blue flower with long pointy red/orange tips and several tiny white flowers hanging off long green vines. One of the large petals had a jagged silver scar going straight down the middle.
Minato flinched "we don't know!"
"that's not good enough, but I will consider a truce. This doesn't mean we're good because we will never be good! And if any of you hurt him again I will not be so nice. Now OUT!"
The six ninjas practically tripped over each other as they scurried out of the greenhouse. When they got out they looked around and saw Naruto looking over the edge of a cliff. They went over to him.
"so what did she say?" asked Naruto
"she had us each make a Mirror Heart, she wasn't completely happy with the results, but she declared a truce ... Naruto thank you for saving Kurama ... we never expected anything ... well, like that" said Minato
Naruto sighed and clutched his chest in mock pain "I get the feeling you guys are surprised that I helped. I'm not the type of person who will let someone die because of personal issues you know"
"I didn't mean it like that!" yelped a startled hokage
Naruto chuckled "calm down, I know what you meant"
The six ninja relaxed and looked over edge of the cliff at the sunset and were struck with an amazing and sensational sight from what they now realize is a flying island.
"Naruto, this place is it ..." Kushina tried to finish her sentence, but she was just too stunned.
"yep, this entire island is flying ... come on I'll show you out"
After making sure they were home Naruto closed up the greenhouse and went into his cottage where he found Momo in the living room. His security golems hopped over and gave him a bag of things.
"are they gone?" asked a miffed Momo
Naruto nodded with an amused smile on his face "yeah, they are gone, but they left some things behind" he held up an object from the bag that the golem gave him and showed Momo.
"OH! I will get them! How many are there?"
He looked in the bag "45, but don't worry about it Mom, this isn't a big deal Good night"
"Good night Naru-chan" said Momo as he turned in for the night.
XXXXXXXXXX
However, few people know this, but there is a legend that goes with the Mirror Hearts flower. They say that if the flowers of two people who are meant to be soul mates are placed near each other then the flowers will release glowing spores at midnight. Naruto has read accounts of it happening in the library, but never considered staying and watching to see if it could be true.
If he had, he would've seen glimmering specks of light float out of his and Minato's plants and dance together before fading away moments later. The beautiful event was done in only seconds and its only witnesses were the stars in the sky and one ghost.
