3 Days Later:

Naruto woke up to find himself in a bed... and a decent one at that. He slowly sat up as he looked around, only to feel a slight pain in his right cheek. Placing his hand on his right cheek, he felt bandages. Using his tongue... he could feel the bandages. It was a bit scary as he then felt something warm attached to him. Looking down, he saw Minako hugging him in her sleep. He smiled as he placed a hand on her back. Naruto rubbed her back as Minako's hold on him seemed to get tighter "She was worried about you the whole time you were out," said a voice as Naruto looked to his right and saw Oliva sitting in a chair with a band-aid over his cheek. Naruto smiled as he replied: "Yeah, I figured she was... so how come I got this on my cheek while you only got a band-aid?"

"Oh, this? Bah, it's nothing, I'm just a fast healer," Oliva replied like it was nothing

"So what are you doing here?" Naruto asked as Oliva smirked

"I got something for you after you get out, come down to the recess area, okay?" Oliva asked as Naruto nodded

"Alright... also, can I ask you something?"

"Shoot,"

"I need surgery done, a special kind of surgery," Naruto said as Oliva raised an eyebrow. Oliva shook his head as he said: "You're not in any mortal danger, why do you need surgery?"

"I need some things installed," Naruto answered

"Wait, wait, you're putting things in your body? Like what?"

"Pipes,"

"Pipes? Why pipes? You gonna do what those magicians do; sucking their thumbs like smoke pipes and puffing out actual smoke?" Oliva questioned as Naruto smirked

"Like that... except instead of smoke... it's gonna be blades and explosives," Naruto replied as Oliva shook his head again. He rubbed his temples as Naruto's smirk turned into a smile "I'm also gonna need 10 pounds of sand, a large vase to hold the sand in... and an assortment of natural poisons," Naruto continued to speak in a whisper as Oliva face-palmed

"I'm not even gonna ask," Oliva said as he stood up, "well, I'm leaving... and remember, once you're done here, get out and meet me, got it?"

"Yeah, I got it," Naruto said as Oliva left the room.

4 Hours Later:

Naruto was just finishing getting dressed in the bathroom to his medical room when he heard a voice say: "Daddy? Daddy where are you?!" as he smirked and walked out of the bathroom

"Over here, sweetheart," Naruto said as Minako turned around. She seemed to scramble to get off the bed as she launched herself off the edge of the bed and landed square in Naruto's chest. Naruto laughed as she cried saying: "I-I thought y-you w-were g-going to-to die,"

"And why would I do that?" Naruto replied with a smirk as he hugged his daughter

"I-I was s-scared," Minako said through her cries as Naruto calmed her down

"Well don't be, sweetheart, I'm alive and well... and I guess I owe you for scaring ya,"

"Y-yeah," Minako said as Naruto walked to the door, "where are we going?"

"We're going to see your God Father,"

10 Minute Walk Later:

A large crowd was in the recess area as Naruto looked at it. Inmates were surrounding Oliva in the middle, as there seemed to be a stage in the middle. Naruto raised an eyebrow as Oliva turned his way and waved "Oi! Naruto! Make some room, everybody!" Oliva said as people turned their heads and quickly moved to the side to allow Naruto and Minako to pass through. Naruto saw Oliva still waving at him as he shrugged and walked down toward him. Walking to Oliva, Naruto noticed that the inmates were on their knees as he walked by them. As Naruto reached the stage, Oliva handed out his hand for Naruto to grab. Naruto grabbed Oliva's hand and was pulled up to the stage. Before Naruto could say anything, Oliva put up a finger and said: "I'm gonna have to stop you right there, Naruto... allow me to explain," as he turned to the crowd. He took a deep breath as Naruto wondered what was going on "Attention inmates! It has come to my attention that you all saw my fight with Naruto and you saw the outcome... he won," Oliva said as Naruto's eyes went wide

"W-what?" Naruto asked as Oliva put his finger back up toward Naruto

"And because of that, I'm afraid to say I'm no longer the strongest in The Black Pentagon... that goes to Naruto Uzumaki," Oliva continued to speak "BUT! My pride can't- no, won't allow it! I love the spotlight! I love the roar of the crowd! And it's for that reason; I, Oliva, Warden and Inmate of The Black Pentagon, name Naruto Uzumaki and his daughter... FREE PEOPLE!"

"What?" Naruto asked

"Naruto Uzumaki! Is a Free Man! An inmate no longer!" Oliva continued as Naruto's jaw was on the ground. Oliva turned to Naruto with a large smile as he said: "Congrats, Naruto," as Naruto smiled back. He started to tear up as Minako looked at her father "Daddy, why are you crying?" she asked as Naruto hugged her

"I-I'm just so happy, Minako," Naruto replied, "I-I can go home,"

"But isn't this home?" Minako asked as Naruto realized something. Minako had never seen the world. She doesn't know how the world works... well, that may be a lie. She was raised in prison. Of course, she knows how cruel the world can be. Hell, he still remembers the first time she saw trees.

Flashback, 1 Year Ago:

Naruto was carrying Minako on his shoulders as they walked outside, close to the fence. As Naruto was walking along, Minko pointed passed the fence and asked: "Daddy, what's that?"

"The fence?" Naruto asked

"No! That! The green and brown thing!" Minako asked

"That? It's a tree," Naruto said

"Really? That's a tree?" Minako questioned

"Yes... why do you ask?"

"I thought trees were supposed to be white with black spots over them," Minako said as Naruto chuckled

"Sweetheart, there are many kinds of trees. That's an Oak Tree, the one your thinking of is called a Birch Tree," Naruto answered as Minako set her head down on top of his

"I like it," she said as Naruto smiled

"I knew you would,"

End flashback:

Naruto walked to Oliva as he said: "Oliva... thank-you, for all you've done for me... but I can't,"

"Can't what? Find the words to thank me?" Oliva asked as Naruto laughed

"No, it's just... I-we, don't have anywhere to go," Naruto said as he patted his daughter, "I'm afraid we'll be staying for a little while longer,"

"Alright... guess I'm gonna have to have them get to work," Oliva said as he clapped his hands, "OKAY INMATES! WE'LL BE WORKING ON A LITTLE GROUP PROJECT!"

2 Weeks Later:

Naruto was sitting on top of an operating table as he had a mask attached to his face. He looked up at the doctor and said: "So... how long is this going to take?"

"At most, I'd say about 6 hours the way you want it done," the doctor replied, "metal implants, blades in the wrists, elbows, heels, and knees, and a spring-system in both arms... it's gonna be a tall order. You'll be in pain for the next few days, just so you know,"

"I know... I know," Naruto said as he started to go to sleep

"Don't worry, kid, you're in good hands," the doctor said as Naruto slowly went to sleep.
