". . ." - It had been two minutes since Kurotsuchi had awakened from her unconscious state, only to notice she was in an unfamiliar place.
At first, she was slightly upset but with those few minutes, she managed to calm down enough so that she could think calmly about her situation, after all, that was the first law of Iwa in case any of its shinobis were captured by hostile forces, to wait until it was time for a counterattack so that they could escape.
"Where am I?" - the girl asked as she looked around.
"Konoha, maximum-security room," replied a voice she recognized almost immediately.
"Hokage-dono..." - Kurotsuchi murmured seriously. "May I ask the reason for my... confinement?"
"Don't you remember?" - asked Kakashi in surprise. "I know it's been two days since you were 'unconscious' but you should still remember all the chaos and destruction you created.
"Chaos? Destruction? Wait just a second!" - exclaimed the girl when she discovered the keywords - "Two days of unconsciousness?!"
"First of all, I want you to try to remember what happened before I tell you the reason for your unconscious state" - said Kakashi calmly.
". . ." - Kurotsuchi frowned when she heard those words but quickly began to remember everything she had done and her face became paler and paler - "Oh my. . ."
"I think you remember" - smiled the silver-haired man - "That's right, you made a big mess, lady"
"This couldn't be worse..." - Kurotsuchi muttered in terror.
"I think you forget that you were unconscious for two days..." - smiled the Hokage. "What do you think happened during those days?"
". . ." - The Iwa girl's expression couldn't be worse right now - "Tell me you didn't do what I think you did..."
"Do you mean the fact that I called your grandfather to inform him of your adventures?" - Kakashi asked.
"Okay, I repeat what I said, this can't get any worse..." - sighed the girl from Iwa.
"Oh, believe me, this can be much worse" - smiled Kakashi - "The escorts you left trapped in the cold lava told us about all the adventures you had, and among them, there was a very interesting one, the one about how you entered a mansion of a Hi no Kuni nobleman to steal his money..."
Kurotsuchi began to sweat when she heard this because she knew that things would be much worse if that information came out.
"Oh, I'm not finished yet... your grandfather is on his way to solve your 'little' situation" - Kakashi's smile grew when he said this, after all, Kurotsuchi had destroyed his beloved village.
"Oh..." - Kurotsuchi sighed ruefully as she nodded weakly.
"Right... I forgot something else," said the Hokage.
"How much more do you need to make me miserable?!" - the Iwa girl exclaimed angrily.
"Don't worry, it's nothing bad... I think..." - Kakashi gave the girl an innocent look as she shivered in anger. She was so angry that she was barely able to resist the urge to throw herself at Kakashi and attack him, but it was at that moment that she understood an important detail - "!"
"I see you noticed it" - nodded Kakashi - "Your chakra is sealed to prevent you from doing something stupid, like attacking my shinobis and escaping, after all, we cannot let you go when your grandfather comes to fetch you"
". . ." - Kurotsuchi's expression changed when she heard this but she quickly sat down with a scowl - "Really? You don't think it's too much?"
"Nope~" - smiled the Hokage - "Anyway, I wish you a happy stay... I hope you don't do any more stupid things~"
"F.u.c.k you!" - Kurotsuchi exclaimed but quickly calmed down because she remembered that disrespecting a Kage was the same as declaring war on him, at least in her situation as the granddaughter of Iwa's Tsuchikage.

Kurama on the other hand was walking around Konoha with an activated Henge so he would not be bothered, after all, he was famous in Konoha.
"What can I do right now?" - the redheaded man muttered as he squinted - "I've already spoken to Choumei and informed him of the situation... I guess now it would be to go to Kumo to talk to Matatabi and Gyuki..."
"Daddy!" - exclaimed a girl as she ran in his direction.
"Izumi-chan? What are you doing here?" - Kurama asked in surprise when she saw her little princess. He quickly deactivated his Henge to prevent problems such as Mikoto being treated like a s.l.u.t because his daughter called another man Daddy.
"I was playing with Naruto Nii-chan when I felt you close~!" - exclaimed the little Uzumaki as Naruto ran after her - "Izumi-chan! Don't leave me behind! Tousan!"
"Naruto... I see you're having fun" - smiled Kurama as he picked up his firstborn - "Where's Ryu?"
"He said he would be with Hikari Okaasan," replied the little Uzumaki.
"Ryu-chan should come to play with us instead of listening to Hikari mama's lessons," Izumi nodded as she puffed up her little cheeks.
"Okay, I'll talk with him so he can play with you" - nodded the older redhead as he looked at his children, after all, he didn't want his little ones to have a bad childhood, but one that they could enjoy despite having to train like other children.
"Yey~!" - The two children couldn't hide their happiness at hearing that their younger brother would be joining them.
"Will you play with us too, Daddy?" - asked Izumi as she hugged her father.
"Hmm... I have some free time lately, so let's go find your little brother to play with" - smiled Kurama as he took his two kids and made them sit on his shoulders - "Hold on tight..."
Kurama quickly surrounded the children with his chakra so that they would not fall as he ran towards the Uzumaki mansion to look for his youngest son.
"By the way... how come you guys are here alone?" - Kurama asked as he looked at his two little ones - "I'm sure the only way for you to leave the mansion is with an escort to watch over you..."
"Etto..." - Izumi froze at the question because she knew that now that her father was focused, they were in trouble.
"Who was your escort this time?" - asked the older redhead as he squinted - "You better answer me or I promise I'll punish you, Naruto without Ramen and Izumi-chan without fireworks"
"!" - the two children opened their eyes in surprise as the tears began to build up.
"No! Anything but that!" - exclaimed Naruto as he grabbed his father's neck tightly - "Not without Ramen!"
"My fireworks!" - Izumi shouted as she began to cry - "It was Tayuya Nee! She was the one who was going to take care of us today but Naruto Nii-chan played a joke on her and knocked her out when we got to the park!"
"Traitor!" - shouted Naruto as he glared at his younger sister.
"I'm sorry, Naruto Nii-chan... but I'm not going to lose my fireworks" - said Izumi as she stuck her tongue out at the ginger kid.
"I see..." - nodded Kurama as he looked at his firstborn - "Anything to say, son?"
"Etto... that Tayuya Baka is going to be okay because I put one of the Kaasan seals around her?" - said Naruto with shame.
"Without Ramen for two days..." - said Kurama seriously.
"Nooooooooo!" - cried the little Uzumaki.
"It was going to be a week, be thankful you didn't do something too bad," said Kurama as he looked at his son.
"Hai..." - Naruto only nodded weakly, though he quickly calmed down. Two days was much less than a week.
"Okay, I promised you I'd play with you and I won't break my promise" - the redheaded man nodded - "So let's go find your little brother"
"Hai!" - exclaimed the two children as they put aside all the bad things that had happened.
* * * * *
"Ugh... I swear I'm gonna punish that little red monkey..." - mumbled Tayuya as she shook her head. She slowly looked around for the children, only to see them disappear - "Shit! Kushina's going to kill me!"
Tayuya quickly ran around as she shouted the names of the two little Uzumaki, only to be greeted with silence.
"Shit... this is bad... very bad..." - said Tayuya as she trembled in terror - "Kushina's anger will be much worse than all the times she knocked me out for trying to say a bad word in front of the kids..."
The pink-haired girl didn't know what to do right now because she had nowhere to go.
If she escaped from Konoha, she would be easy prey for Orochimaru, not to mention that her life with the Uzumaki was not bad she had everything she ever wanted, a family, friends, and a boy who would f.u.c.k her like there was no tomorrow, to the point that her hip would be dislocated.
"I'd better go back to the clan and explain to Kushina... she might understand that it's not my fault they escaped..." - sighed Tayuya as she shook her head - "Who am I kidding... Kushina will have my a.s.s hanging on her wall as a trophy when she finds out that her little bag of trouble knocked me out and ran off with her sister... and I still don't count Mikoto-san... oh shit, this will be the worst day of my life..."
Tayuya quickly shook her head to put those depressing thoughts aside and walked home to receive her punishment - "Better be quick rather than acc.u.mulate interest"
