i added the NA using the genion  

 
        * genion -s em.tpr -o waterbox_ions.gro -np 6, and i added the NA to 
the topology file , subtracted the water number by 6.  tail 
waterbox_ions.grofile have  this

Assuming typical protonation states, and further assuming that there are no 
other unbalanced charges in the peptides, yes.

Then you do not have what you think you do.  Look at the topology to see what 
the net charge on each peptide is and determine whether or not this is what you 
want.

It can't.  You've probably confused which files you're using or are misreading 
some output somewhere along the way.  Adding six positives cannot give six 
negatives.
