It was just another day of loitering around the place while waiting for time to pass. Tsunade wouldn't allow me to take on missions because of the latest happening regarding my ankle and wound. It was contradicting considering how she was short of man power and everyone were always busy yet she doesn't want me to do any of them despite knowing I clear out missions really quickly.

"Itsuko." Kurama suddenly said. He was sleeping earlier, seeing him suddenly so aware, something must be happening. "My chakra. That brat is getting my chakra again."

"What where is he? Isn't he off training with Jiraiya?" I said, immediately getting ready.

"I'll teleport you there." Kurama said and the next thing I knew. I appeared in front of Naruto, who was now using the nine-tails chakra up to four tails.

Jiraiya was behind me, he was bleeding heavily. From the looks of his wound, he was most likely attacked by Naruto.

"He's unconscious already. That chakra is too much to be used when he doesn't have control over it." Kurama said, growling.

Tails grew out of myself, nine of them to be exact. Nine golden tails. Those tails were made of Kurama's chakra. I used them to restrain Naruto. Also preventing the Kurama inside Naruto from giving Naruto more chakra.

I activated my mangekyou, entering the inside of Naruto. Naruto was laying on the waters, unconscious while the Kurama inside him released chakra, leaking into the waters.

It hissed upon seeing me, getting on his feet. He was originally laying on the ground, resting while giving out chakra. He glared at me, sending a chakra made sword at me.

I dodged it with ease. He growled, sending many more at me all at once.

"Wind Style: Illusional Bond." I mumbled, taking out my sword, using it as help to cut through, getting to Kurama.

I jumped into his cage, jumping onto his head. He used his sharp claw, scratching himself as I jumped away from where I was. He was planning to scratch me. Using my katana, I left a deep wound at the side his belly.

He screamed in pain, growling. But I wasn't there anymore. I got out using my mangekyou. That wound conveyed my message well. At least I hope.

The chakra around Naruto was slowly dispersing, retreating. Naruto was left, burnt really badly due to the high temperature of the chakra. However, he was healing very very quickly. It didn't take more than five minutes and he was back to normal. Jiraiya on the other hand was on the verge of life and death if Kurama didn't help heal him up.

Naruto sat up, leaning against a big rock nearby. He placed his hand on his head, his head resting on his hand.

"What is going on? Whose memories are these? Just what?"

I looked at him wide eyed, could it be... That's not possible right...? N-No no no no.

"Itsuko... Uhm... He might've... saw your memories." Kurama said very softly, seemingly feeling afraid and sorry at the same time.

I sat down, dropping my head on my hands and sighed. "What kind of memories?"

"There's the fourth hokage, Kakashi sensei and two other people. Then there's also another two having fun all together. After that it gets all blurry." Naruto said, shaking his head. He seemed to be having a headache.

"Look, Naruto. Those memories... They're mine." I glanced over at him. Now that I look at him, he actually looks like Minato. The baby blue eyes, the bright yellow hair but he definitely got his personality from Kushina.

"One last time." I mumbled under my breath, telling myself. I activated my mangekyou. Naruto lifted up his head from his hands, glancing over at me. Making eye contact with him, once again, after so many years, I entered his head. With the help of my mangekyou, I wiped away his memory about my memories.

'It was for the best. He was still a brat that wouldn't understand a thing.' I thought, laying him down against a tree nearby. He was unconscious and should be for awhile.

Jiraiya walked over. His whole body was wrapped in bandages. "What happened to him? I thought he was conscious awhile ago?"

"He got my memories due to the link of Kurama. All I did was wiped the memories away. He doesn't need to know yet." I said, sitting down with my legs crossed in front of Naruto.

"Why can't you just train him to know how to handle that nine tails? I mean you know how to do it..." Jiraiya said, sitting down beside me with his knee up, resting his hand on it.

"That fox inside him doesn't cooperate. I suspect it'll only work if Naruto gives him a beating himself. Then maybe he'll trust Naruto with his abilities." I said, not taking my eye of Naruto. If I imagined him as Minato, it was as if seeing a younger version of him in front of me. It just brought back so much joy and memories.

I caught Jiraiya glancing over at me before looking at Naruto. He was silent awhile before speaking again. "You really loved him didn't you?"

"He was the first that ever accepted me as who I am despite knowing what happened. He introduced me to Kushina, treated me as their child."

Jiraiya smiled. "He was always kind and loving."

I smiled, freely allowing myself to fall back onto the grass. The wind blew the grass, brushing it along my face as I starred at the clouds. It wasn't everyday I got to enjoy clouds like this.
