I don't own Naruto. He belongs to Kishimoto. For the sake of this fic, Naruto, Hinata, and Kiba are all going to be six years younger than anyone else. Hope you enjoy.
"Mikoto, are you sure you want to do this? You don't have to, Kushina would understand…"
"Yes, Hokage-sama, I really want to do this. And it's not just for Kushina-san; it's for the little darling over there. I've noticed people giving angry looks to him-he needs protection."
The Hokage nodded, smoking his pipe solemnly. He turned towards one of his Anbu and told him to bring the baby. He turned back toward Mikoto and let out a small smile. "How are Sasuke and Itachi?"
Mikoto smiled fondly at the thought of her sons, "Sasuke turned six a couple months ago. Itachi has perfected the clone jutsu; Sasuke's following him everywhere he goes."
Sarutobi chuckled, "Just like me and my brother at that age." Mikoto giggled good-naturedly at the thought of a six-year-old Sarutobi in Hokage clothes when a baby's wail caught her attention.
The Anbu looked at the wailing baby in the crook of his elbow with such contempt that it filled Mikotos' heart with fear. She immediately walked toward the Anbu and took the blonde baby from his arms, flashing him a Sharingan-filled glare before turning back to the baby.
Her eyes immediately softened as tear-filled blue looked at her. Mikoto smiled and kissed the babys' forehead. "It's okay, hun. Mama's here. Mama's got you." The baby sniffled and caught a lock of Mikoto's hair. He snuggled into Mikotos' bosom and fell asleep, feeling safe for the first time in his short life.
"Hokage-sama, what is his name?"
Sarutobi looked down at the baby in tender sadness then gazed up at Mikoto.
"His name is Naruto."
