I know I keep putting off the other fanfictions I am writing, but when I get a good idea. I can't help but write on it, cause if I don't, I feel like there's something missing in me! :c Naruto will be essentially like he is in "Tale of Uzumaki" but his starter story will be different. Its a sorta shout out to "Red clouds" I forget the authors name. I may decide on him hating the leaf village, but I am undecided on that. He will love Amegakure thats all I know for sure. Also most of the anbu that do show up, will be OC's, unless its say dog mask, and Yuago. (Aka Kakashi, and I forget Yuago's mask animal.) Also Konan will be a little older than Naruto, about a year older. Don't ask me how, because I came up with the idea, that instead of Konan, it was her mother who helped start the Akatsuki with Nagato, and Yahiko, Nagato, and Konans mom (Who's name will be Yuuki), fell in love. Having Konan, so that should put her around Naruto's current age in my FanFic. Correct me if I'm wrong. The rest of the Akatsuki are the same age as they would have been at this point and time, the Akatsuki are also good in this one too. A shout out to my main man Jiraya with my title!
Just for future reference, this is non-canon whatsoever. So my facts are not "wrong" I have generated them for my own pleasure, and to add something to the story line. Something's maybe correct, but some maybe not. Thats up to my discretion. :P

Antyways... Here is my NaruKonan fix attempt, I hope you enjoy.
Please Read, and Review!
Naruto is five years old, wandering around the village, because he had just been kicked from the orphanage. 'but kaa-san... I didn't do it!' little Naruto replayed in his head, another little orphan had beat up a little civilian boy for looking at him funny, and blamed it on him, so the matron, or as all the orphans called kaa-san put him out.
"T- There's the little demon!" A random villager drunkenly slurred, while pointing to a confused Naruto, when his eyes widened as he saw a group of adults, who looked very mad at him.
Naruto started running, he feared for his life, feeling the ki off of the drunken villagers. "What did I do!?" Little Naruto exclaimed, wailing as he ran, but the adults where quickly catching up. 'Its my birthday, so why are they chasing me?!' Little Naruto thinks frantically, as he dips around a corner, going into an alleyway, most of the group missing him, stumbling past the alleyway.
One of the drunken villagers falls, his head facing the alleyway, so he spots little Naruto's bright orange jumpsuit. "There he is!" He exclaimed, luckily for Naruto, only about half the mob heard the drunken idiot, stalking down the alleyway.
Little Naruto backs up, until his back is flush with the wall, he quivers in fear. "P- P- P- Please leave me alone!" He exclaims, only to get an evil smirk from the crowd at large before him.
"You didn't leave our loved ones alone when you attacked! You foul demon!" A villager yelled from the mob, the rest of the mob agreeing with the villager who exclaimed their hatred. "Lets kill him! Here and now! Before the anbu arrive!" A villager exclaimed, they all agreed, starting to beat Naruto with a viscious tenacity.
Little Naruto curled up into a ball, protecting his head, and stomach from the heavy blows being rained down upon him. "Gah!" He exclaimed as a kunai peirced his back, thankfully missing anything immediately life threatening, but he couched up blood, this went of for about ten minutes until an anbu came, and broke it up.
"Disperse! Or I will kill you where you stand! Genin, and Chunin included!" An anbu with a viper mask, and hair that was as black as night, and reached his shoulders said, and the crowd quickly ran away. "Damn... Maybe I we should have come earlier..." He said, looking over his shoulder, at his partner, which was a raven masked anbu with purple hair, that reached her ass, tied up in a low, and long pony tail.
The raven mask bent down, feeling for a pulse, but she felt none. "He's gone..." She said a little sadly, she liked the little bundle of energy, but she had just gotten back from a bogus mission, so she couldn't have stopped the idiot villagers. 'They only see the contained, never the container...' She silently mused to herself, then stood. "I'll inform the hokage..." She said, then shunshied away.
The viper looked around, when he was sure his partner was gone, under his mask a sadistic face came. "You bloody demon! You killed my Onii-chan! I'm glad you're dead now! Its revenge!" He exclaimed quietly, then dropped Naruto into the sewer, quickly coming up with the excuse the villagers over ran him, so he had to retreat, before shunshing away from little Naruto.
Naruto wasn't dead, but in a near death like state, because Kurama had dragged him into his mindscape, leaving his body to heal with her Youkai. Without his conciousness tethered to his body, everything slowed down to a near death halt. 'Huh..? Where am I..?' Little Naruto mused, as he sat up, not feeling any of the pain he felt earlier, before blacking out. 'Why am I in the sewers?' He said, then felt a strange, but loving aura pulling him closer, so he followed it. Until he got to a big cage in the middle of a hall.
"So you have finally found me?" A large, demonic voice called from the cage, a giant red eye, with a black slit sow the middle said, scaring her host more.
Little Naruto fell on his ass in fright. "W- Who are you?! And where am I!?" He frighteningly exclaimed, looking around for some help.
"Don't worry kit, I wont hurt you, but this form is rather scary, but lets try something else." The giant form said, slowly shrinking, the voice becoming more soft, and sweet as Kurama shrunk down to the size of an average woman. Velvet red hair, with a porcelain face, and beautiful violet eyes that you could get lost easily in. "Better my musuko[1]?" Kurama asks in a voice that could calm even the largest beasts in a mere moment.
Naruto felt a calming wave wash over him, with a protective undertone, but not to be missed. "O- Okka-san?" He stuttered out in utter disbelief, all his natural life he was told his parents were dead. The soft smile was all he needed for reassurance, he ran into the giant cage, wrapping his little arms around her leg, happy he could see his mother. "Okka-san!" Naruto wailed, crying his eyes out, the Kushina look alike just rubbed his back lovingly, letting him cry his eyes out.
Kurama was a little sad watching the little child wail his eyes out, she may not be a real mother, or his mother, but she was sure going to make up for it, since Naruto had never felt paternal love. 'I have caused him so much suffering, so this is how I will make up for it.' Kurama mused to herself, as she was broken out of her thoughts, as the wailing subsided to soft sobs, and hiccups.
"Okka-san, why are you here? Why didn't you come for me? I was so lonely..." Naruto said sadly, wiping the tears from his eyes, looking up into Kurama's eyes, which was Kushina's right now.
Kurama flinched at this question, she wanted to to take care of him, but wasn't prepared for this question. "Ano... Thats a hard question to answer musuko..." Kurama trailed, sighing, not wanting to lie, but she couldn't tell him just yet the truth. "Because a bad man sealed me away, to keep me from you, so you would have a bad life, but just meditate, and you will be brought to me, ok musuko?" She asked with a tender smile, picking up Naruto, and hugging him lovingly. "You've grown to be a big boy, and will you become a great man... Just like your father!" Kurama exclaimed softly, then put Naruto down. "Here, this is something to remember us by, we will always be with you, when you wear this." Kurama said, taking off a heart shaped locket she was wearing, and putting it on Naruto. The locket contained a picture of Kushina, and Minato. 'I may not be able to do much, but at least I can materialize this in the real world, it will help him cope, along with this form.' Kurama thought to herself, then saw Naruto's eyes light up at this.
"Thank you kaa-san! I love you kaa-san!" Naruto said, hugging her leg again, then he felt something hit the top of his head. "Kaa-san... Why are you crying..?" Naruto asked concernedly.
Kurama crouched down to Naruto's level, then hug him lovingly. "Its nothing... I have just wanted to hear that for so long!" Kurama said, crying tears of absolute joy at his words. "I love you too musuko, I really do." Kurama says affectionately.
Naruto felt drowsy, like he was ready to sleep for a while. "Okka-san..." Naruto said with a light yawn, leaning on Kurama a little.
Kurama knew that Naruto's physical body was healed for the most part, so the sleepiness was a sign his body was pulling him back. "Just sleep tightly musuko, mommy will be here with you." Kurama said in a soothing tone, her back up against her cage wall, his head in her lap. "Nennen korori yo, Okorori yo. Bōya wa yoi ko da, Nenne shina~ Bōya no omori wa, Doko e itta? Ano yama koete, Sato e itta. Sato no miyage ni, Nani morotta? Denden taiko ni, Shō no fue[2]..." Kurama sung softly, a classic Japanese luluby her mother used to sing to her to get her to sleep as a baby.
Naruto fell asleep in his mindscape, serenly, the woman he saw as his mom singing a soft luluby to lul him to sleep. 'Okka-san is so amazing...' Naruto thought with a yawn, before finally falling asleep in comfort, next to a loving aura.
The mindscape faded, as the world changed into a dull grey room, with the soft ping of a heart rate monitor. "So Im not dead?" Naruto lightly mused, startling the other occupant of the room.
"So you are finally awake I see." the mysterious girl with blue hair, and orange eyes said with a stoic expression across her face. She was in her usual attire, a navy blue sleeveless v-neck, with fishnets that went down to a little above her elbow, and covered her neck a bit, with navy blue skin tight shorts that stopped at her knee's, and navy blue ninja sandals.
Naruto was aww struck by the cute girl before him. "W- Who are you Tenshi-chan?" Naruto asked, a little mystified by her.
Konan smiled softly, then stood up, checking the monitor. "Isn't it polite to introduce yourself first?" Konan asked, then if you paid close enough attention, you could hear the sarcastic, and light tone in her voice as she spoke.
Naruto gulped, and nodded. "Sorry... My name is Naruto Uzumaki! Nice to meet you! Dattebayo!" Naruto exclaimed out, mentally cursing himself for letting his excited verbal tick come through.
Konan actually laughed a little at this, but to Naruto, it sounded like the heavens themselves were singing. "I've never met someone like you, I like you. My name is Konan, Konan Akibari." Konan said with a light eye smile.
Naruto doned his foxish grin, and chuckles lightly. "You're cute Konan, and I like you too, lets be friends!" Naruto exclaimed lightly, then sat up, and pain shot through his back. "Ite ite ite..." Naruto said, putting his hand where the pain originated, pulling his hand back a little bloody.
Konan saw this, then rushed over to his side, examining the wound. "Don't push yourself, you had been seriously injured, but I patched you up. You have miraculous recovery prowess, but you still aren't fully healed." Konan chastised lightly, pushing down Naruto softly, peeling off the bandages to change the bandages.
Naruto remembered where he got the wound from and started freaking out, sliding away from Konan. "N- N- No! You are going to hurt me too! I don't want to be hurt again!" Naruto exclaimed, bawling a bit again, trying to get away from her.
Konan looked at Naruto with shock, and hurt in her eyes. "I- I'm not going to hurt you, I was the one who patched up your wounds..." Konan said with pain in her voice, almost silent in her voice.
Naruto saw the unguarded look, and the hurt in her eyes, and felt instantly horrible. "I- I'm sorry... I have just been through a lot recently, its given me trust issues..." He says with a somber tone.
Konan was shocked at what he said, all through out Amegakure, the Uzumaki clan was a legendary clan before it was wiped out in the bloodline purge years back. "No way... All the Uzumaki died out with Kushina Uzumaki..." Konan said in a low voice, to herself mostly.
Naruto scratched the back of his head, and chuckles nervously. "Well... Thats what my Jiji-san told me my last name was... And I met my mother earlier! She's!" Naruto exclaimed happily, then realized he didn't know his own mothers name. "I don't know her name... It was in a dream I think..." Naruto mused, rubbing his locket absent mindedly, then a lightbulb went off in his mind. "Oh yeah! Since you seem to know a lot about my clan, lets see if you can identify her!" He said, opening his locket, showing it to Konan.
Konan didn't know who the blonde man on the left was, but her eyes widened a bit as she noticed who his mother was. "No way... Your mother is Kushina Uzumaki... She was the last Jinjuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune from Amegakure... She was given to the leaf village as payment for helping in the bloodline purge war..." Konan said, reciting the facts her mother had pounded into her head from a lot.
Naruto was amazed at how much he knew, it caught him off guard, at least he knew his mothers name now. "I didn't know all that, but wow... Thats... Sort of amazing..." Naruto mused lightly, Konan walked to the door, and opened it.
"I see you sensed me musume[3]. Your sensory skills develop by leaps and bounds daily." Yuuki said with a warm smile down to her daughter, then looked to Naruto. "Ara ara... Seems our guest is finally awake!" She exclaimed lightly in a velvety tone, almost as soft, and velvety as Kushina's.
Naruto smiled sheepishly at the woman who he thought was beautiful. "Yeah... Sorry for intruding like this, but where am I?" Naruto asked curiously asked, looking around the room. The room was sparse, decorated with medical equipment, with one window to his right, behind him. It let in enough light to give a natural feel to it.
Konan spoke up this time "You are in Amegakure, a village adjacent to Konohagakure." Konan saw the questioning look on his face, knowing what he wanted to know. "I know you're from Konohagakure, because you came in on a river that flows only through Konohagakure." Konan said in a tone that said she knew she was right.
Yuuki patted Konan on the head, she had to commend her daughter. "Good going musume, and yes, she's correct. She found you, and she had the expression that said 'Mom! We have to help him!', and I couldn't help but agree with her." Yuuki says with an eye smile, her mouth hidden behind her cloak collar, which was the conventional Akatsuki cloak. Flat black, with red clouds, white trim around the clouds, and red trimming on the zipper area, and such.
Konan blushed softly at her mothers antics. "K- Kaa-san! Did you really have to say all of that!?" Konan exclaimed embarrasedly at this.
Naruto broke into a light laughing fit at her cuteness. "Tenshi-Chan, you really are cute" Naruto says, his laughter subsiding slowly.
Yuuki raises an eyebrow at her daughters new nickname. "Ara ara! I see you two already get along quite well!" Yuuki said with a light laugh.
Konan gained a tick mark on her forehead of annoyance. "Shut uppppp!" Konan exclaims with a cute whine, that makes the two laugh harder. Konan stormed out of the room in a fury.
Naruto was slightly sad to see her leave so mad, so he got up to go after her, but stopped after the look that Yuuki gave him. "Nani?" Naruto asked curiously, wondering why she stopped him.
"Its the middle of winter here, so... You're not going out there in your current dress." She said, giving Naruto a once over. "We have some spare clothes, that should be your size." Yuuki said, then snapped her fingers, the clothes, and cloak in question appear on Naruto's lap.
Naruto looked at the clothes, they looked about his size, so he looked at Yuuki with a blush. "Ano... Can you please turn around or something?" Naruto asked embarresedly.
Yuuki raised an eyebrow to him, then she caught on. "Oh! Sure!" Yuuki said, then walked out of the room, staying close to the door for him.
Naruto slipped on the clothes, the cloak last, its a snug fit on him. 'Hmm... This feels specially fitted for me, the clothes too... Ill ask Yuuki-san about that...' Naruto mused, then opened the door, seeing her standing by the door in the hallway. "Ano... Why were the clothes specially fitted to my size?" Naruto asked curiously.
Yuuki smiled lightly at how quick Naruto was to catch that, most people would've dismissed it. "Ara ara, you are sharp witted, its because its my special skill, I can create something's with just thinking about it, and I guessed your sizes correctly apparently." Yuuki said confidently.
Naruto nodded, then looked down the halls. "Ano... One more question... Where did Konan-chan run off to?" He asked concernedly.
Yuuki pointed down the hallway to their left. "When you get down to a stairwell, follow it all the way up. She's on the roof, probably waiting for you." Yuuki said, then shunshied away.
Naruto followed Yuuki's instructions, finding Konan sitting on the roof of the tallest tower in Amegakure. "I already knew you were coming." Konan said, returning to her stoic tone, kicking her feet lightly as she sat on the cold rail, not really noticing the cold. She was looking skyward, while it was snowing lightly on the village.
"Well why'd you storm off like that?" Naruto asks as he leans on the rail near Konan. Keeping a safe distance from her, but she no longer seem mad.
Konan look to Naruto, and noticed they were both wearing the Akatsuki cloak. "You see... I was just so embarrased, I needed to cool down, this is where I come to cool down, this village is so quiet. Sometimes you forget the rest of the world exists, y'know?" Konan mused lightly, looking across the village. A piece of paper was in her hand, and it started folding itself into a paper crane. Flying off into the distance slowly, but surely.
Naruto's eyes widened at this surprising feat. "How did you do that..?" Naruto asked, amazement laced throughout his voice.
Konan eye smiled softly, then started kicking her legs again. "Kaa-san said that I have great chakra control, and pretty big reserves. I have wood style affinity, so making paper change to my will is easy." Konan said, then a paper clone of her appeared, dismantling itself, and becoming wings on her back.
Naruto looked upon Konan in awe, she looked even more like an angel right now. "Wow... You definitely have earned the nickname Tenshi-chan..." Naruto said softly, earning a blush from Konan, who began to float lightly.
Konan did a little flip in the air, then settled down on the ground. "B- Baka!" She exclaimed lightly, then her wings wrapped around her cloak, becoming the mirror image of the cloak. "If you want, I can have kaa-san teach you the basics?" Konan asked lightly, peeling a piece of chakra litmus paper off of her paper cloak. She handed it to Naruto, smiling lightly. "Channel some chakra into that paper, and we will see what your elemental affinity is." Konan said briefly.
Naruto nodded, and channeled some chakra into the paper, at first it did nothing. Then a few seconds later, it split into 8 parts. One split in half, another caught on fire, another crinkled up, one froze instantly, one became a hot semi liquid/ solid[4], one became wet and soggy, one crumbled a bit, and one became as stiff as a plank of wood. 'Wow! I wonder what this means though!' Naruto mused lightly.
Konans eyes widened for the third time today. "Wow... There has only been one other in recorded history that could wield all 5 elements, and 3 sub elements... Her name is Mei, Terumi, better known as the current Mizukage." Konan said, the amazement never leaving her voice.
Naruto's eyes widened a bit as the full affect of what she had just said sunk in. "Wow! That is awesome!" Naruto exclaimed in joy.
Kurama heard this, and her Kitsune ears perked up at this. "Yep, I always knew you were special, from the day I set eyes on you!" Kurama said in a motherly doting tone, through the locket, which acted as a communication device too, but only Naruto could hear her. "Oh, I forgot to tell you, this locket allows me to talk to you, when we aren't face to face." Kurama said, and snickered lightly, as she could tell Naruto sweat dropped at this, then she went quiet again.
Konan noticed the sudden change of in his behaivior, but wrote it off as 'a boy thing' because aside from Naruto, Konan had never met someone her age of the opposite gender. Most of Amegakure was female, or older than the age of 20. Besides Konan had lived a sheltered life for up until recently. "Naruto-kun?" Konan asked a bit concernedly, noticing he was a bit distracted.
Naruto was snapped out of his mental chat with Kurama by Konan. "Sorry Tenshi-chan, just chatting with my mom." He said, chuckling nervously, rubbing the back of his head a bit.
Konan raised an eyebrow to this, motioning for Naruto to go on, and clarify.
"You see... My kaa-san was sealed away somewhere, but can talk to me!"Naruto exclaimed happily.
Konan grew a confused look, but it dissapeared as quickly as it came. 'Ano... According to the official death reports sent back, Kushina Uzumaki was KIA after trying to stop the nine tails from rampaging, the Kyuubi was never recovered through.' Konan thought, filing this tidbit of information away for later. "That is awesome! Does she look like the picture in the locket?" Konan exclaimed lightly.
Naruto nodded, then his foxish grin came back out. "That picture doesn't do her justice whatsoever, she is even more beautiful in person! One day I will find a way to unseal her so you can meet her!" Naruto exclaimed, making it his personal mission to free his surrogate mom.
Konan smiled lightly at this, and nodded. "I can't wait, I'd love to meet her, she sounds like an amazing woman." Konan says, then starts walking for the door back inside. "You coming?" Konan calls over her shoulder, Naruto is mesmerized by the beautiful snow covered village.
Naruto is broken out of his stupor, then follows, jogging lightly to catch up with her. "Your village is beautiful." Naruto said lightly.
"Its our village now Naruto, your previous village didn't want you, so ours will happily take you." Konan said as a matter of factly, then blushed as their hands softly brushed each others.
Naruto's heart was beating a million miles an hour after that brief contact. 'Would she kill me if I held her hand?' Naruto mused lightly, then mentally shrugged it off. 'Couldnt be any worse than what the villagers in Konohagakure did to me.' Naruto thought a bit sourly, then non-chalantly grabbed Konans hand, flinching for added affect. Like the sudden contact that way surprised him.
Konan was wise to his plot, but her heart was beating a million miles an hour too. 'Holding hands with him wont hurt anyone, besides, I kinda like him.' Konan thought, then interlaced their fingers together as they walked down the corridor, to what seemed to be the barracks.
Yuuki stepped out from her room, noticing the two love birds. "Ara ara! Look at what we have here Nagato-kun!" Yuuki exclaimed lightly, as a man with red hair, and lavander eyes came out.
The man now known as Nagato looked over the two with an stoic look at first. Then it turned into a soft expression at the cute site. "What do we have here? My cute little Tenshi has a boy she likes?" Nagato mused out loud, causing the girl in question to blush as bright as a tomato.
Steam could almost be seen coming from her ears. "N- No! Its just..." Konan trailed a bit embarrasedly, not knowing a decent counter. "Y- yeah I like him a little." Konan says, squeezing Naruto's hand affectionately.
Naruto blushed at Konans confession. "Truth is, I like her a little too!" Naruto exclaimed truthfully, causing Yuuki, and Nagato to laugh lightly.
Yuuki was the first to speak up, smiling softly. "Well you two have fun! Ja ne!" Yuuki said turning on her heels with Nagato.
Konan remembered her question she wanted to ask her kaa-san. "Kaa-san! Hold on!" Konan exclaimed, causing Yuuki to turn around. "Naruto- kun wants to learn how to be a ninja too, can you teach him?" She asked hopefully.
Yuuki looked at Nagato, who nodded, a secret understanding passing between the two. "How about this, Nagato teaches Naruto-kun, and I keep teaching you?" Yuuki rebuttled.
Konans eyes looked over to Nagato. "Really Oto-san?! You'd do that!?" Konan asked a little excitedly looking at her father happily.
Nagato nodded "I don't see why I can't teach the cute gaki." Nagato said, reaching down, and ruffling Naruto's hair a little with a chuckle.
Naruto was a little miffed he was called a gaki, but was happy someone was willing to train him. "Thank you Nagato-san, its very much appreciated"! Naruto said enthusiastically.
Yuuki squeezed her husbands hand lightly, their fingers interlaced. "Then how about we start tomorrow? Cause its getting late now." Yuuki said, the window at the end of the hall was showing dim natural light from outside.
Naruto sweat dropped at this, realizing how much time had passed. "Ano... Where would I sleep?" Naruto asked, a little curiously.
Konan answered this time "We have plenty of rooms, just choose a room on any floor." Konan said, then opened the door to her room, which was right down the hall from Nagato, and Yuuki.
Naruto looked down both halls, of all the doors, at least half of them had to be bedrooms. "Floors? As in plural?" Naruto asked, face faulting at Konans nod, like it was common knowledge.
Konan raised an eyebrow at Naruto, looking at him curiously. "We own the tower" Konan said, as a matter of factly, making Naruto sweat drop at this, it seemed to be common here.
"H- Hai..." Naruto trails, then chose a room at random on the floor everyone else was on. "Oyasumi mina!" Naruto called out, only to hear the closing of doors as a reply. 'They can be cold at times' Naruto said, looking at his room, which was larger than his room at the orphanage. "Wow! This is amazing!" Naruto mused softly, as the bed was bigger than half of his room. Naruto hopped into the big bed, falling asleep almost immediately. "Kaa-san!" Naruto exclaimed in joy as he appeared in a bed inside of his mothers cage. "Kaa-san! I made a friend today! Her parents were nice too! They promised to train me to be able to protect myself too!" Naruto exclaimed, hugging his 'mother' lovingly.
Kurama smiled softly, hugging her kit back. "Thats good to hear musuko." Kurama said with a doting tone to her voice. "I'm glad to hear that, you will make a lot of friends throughout your life." Kurama said, seeing Naruto's foxish grin.
Naruto hugged her again, not having a care in the world. "kaa-san, why are you in a giant cage?" Naruto asked concernedly, finally taking in his surroundings fully now that he was back.
Kurama sighed to herself, then looked at Naruto. "Musuko, its because I am actually sealed in your body, this is just the default setting of your mindscape." Kurama said truthfully at this.
Naruto thought on this for a second, then an idea came into his head. "If its my mindscape, then I can change it right?" Naruto asked curiously.
Kurama nodded lightly "Yep musuko, with practice, you can change this to anything you want." Kurama said 'He is as sharp as a tack, just like his father.' Kurama thought happily.
Naruto concentrated hard for a second, and the cage fades, and a too, exactly like the one in the real world. "Yata! It worked!" Naruto said, looking upon the white walls of Kurama's room. "Now you won't had to sleep in a gloomy room, and will have a comfy bed." Naruto exclaimed, his foxish grin of achievement at this feat.
Kurama's eyes widened slightly at the sudden change, because she wasn't expecting it. "Good going musuko! This is amazing!" Kurama said, flopping down on the couch on the left wall. "Come sit with me musuko." Kurama said with an encouraging tone to her voice.
Naruto sat down next to her, happy he was able to make his moms life a little easier. "Kaa-san, when I grow up, I will find a way to get you out of here." Naruto said, making it a mission of his.
Kurama laughed softly, then kissed the top of Naruto's head softly. "I will wait for the day I can hold you for real my musuko." Kurama said, then concentrated, a cake with six candles appearing on the table. "Happy birthday musuko, sorry I have caused you so much trouble..." Kurama said softly, not really wanting to him to hear that part.
Naruto strained his ears to try to catch that last part, but filed it away to be asked later. "Oh yeah! It is my birthday! Its just..." Naruto trailed somberly, but cheered up instantly. "Anyway! Its no time to be down! Lets have fun!" Naruto said, hopping off the couch, and going to the table. Waiting on Kurama to come to celebrate.
Kurama smiled softly, then walked over to the table, spitting small fireballs onto the candle wicks. Easily lighting them, it was a rather useless skill in combat, but its useful in other ways. "Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday dear musuko. Happy birthday to you!" Kurama sang in a beautiful tone that was almost like a luluby itself.
Naruto smiled, then blew out the candles, his wish to be with his mom, and friends forever. "This is the first nice birthday I have ever had." Naruto said, tears catching both of them off guard coming from Naruto's eyes unexpectedly.
Kurama squeezed Naruto's hand softly, looking at him concernedly. "Are you ok Musuko?" She asked concernedly to her adopted kit.
Naruto nodded, wiping the tears away. "I'm crying, but I'm so happy right now!" Naruto exclaimed in slight surprise.
"You're just crying tears of joy, they're good, it means you are truly happy." Kurama said, relaxing at this fact now apparent.
Naruto had stopped crying as Kurama started cutting the cake. "Well I must be the happiest kid in the world right now then." Naruto said with a chuckle, his eyes widening at the sizable piece Kurama cut compared to his size. "Kaa-san! I won't be able to eat all of this in one sitting!" Naruto exclaimed in dissapointment, cause it looked delicious. It had an icing decoration of his face, and it was red velvet cake, his favorite.
Kurama chuckles lightly, then pointed to a mini-fridge in the corner. "We can put it in there, it will be good by the time you get back." Kurama's eyes flicked off to the wall in front of her, like she suddenly sensed something. "You have a visitor in the real world Musuko." Kurama said lightly, not wanting to alarm him, because the presence didn't seem to be an evil presence.
Naruto nodded, then at his cake until he was full, yawning lightly. "Bye bye Kaa-san! See you later!" Naruto said as Kurama picked him up, then put him on the bed, falling asleep with Naruto.
Naruto woke up from his light sleep to hear a knock on his door, with thunder, and lighting flashing outside, followed by loud thunder.
"N- Naruto-kun!" Konan exclaimed in fear, as lightning stuck, making a loud thunderclap. "A- Are you awake?" Konan asked, clutching her bunny that had gauze wrapped around part of its head. For a second getting nothing but silence. 'I knew he was asleep...' Konan thought defeatedly, starting to walk away, when the door opened.
"Konan-chan?" Naruto asked sleepily, rubbing the sleep from his eyes with his right hand.
Konan jumped a little at his voice, her heart skipping a beat. "Naruto-kun!" She said, glomping Naruto back into the room. "Whenever there's a thunderstorm in Amegakure, its bad, but I was getting used to them, but this ones really bad!" Konan said, wrapping her arms around Naruto's neck. Shaking like a leaf in a hurricane.
Naruto wrapped his arms around her frame softly, earlier she seemed to capable, and strong. 'Wow... She feels so fragile, that the slightest squeeze too tightly, and she must might break...' Naruto thought to himself "How about you stay with me tonight? Because it doesn't seem to want to let up anytime soon, so it might be good." Naruto said rubbing her back lightly.
Konan looked up into Naruto's eyes, and nodded. "I'd like that, thank you Naru-kun." Konan said with a soft voice, almost unoticable to most.
Kurama enhanced Naruto's senses with her Youkai, so he easily heard her. 'You're welcome musuko' she said, then activated the privacy seals in the room, so the thunder would be dulled.
Naruto smiled inwardly 'Thanks kaa-san, its much appreciated.' Naruto said through the seal.
Konan stood up, and walked over to his bed, dragging Naruto with her. "Thank you Naru-kun..." Konan trails softly, curling up against Naruto's chest, still flinching every so often at thunder, but not as bad as before.
Naruto ran a gentle hand through her beautiful, and soft blue hair. "Its the least I could do, you did save my life after all!" Naruto exclaimed lightly, with a warm hug to Konan to calm her down.
Konan flinched at first at the sudden hug, but relaxed into it. 'He smells like oranges, its an amazing smell.' Konan thought to herself as she yawned, and fell asleep in Naruto's arms.
Naruto smiled softly at Konan as she cutely slept. 'She smells like cinnamon, I love cinnamon...' Naruto mused to himself then fell asleep too.
