Naruto laid in the water, just looking up. Remembering his friends who sacrificed themselves to protect him. He would give up his life to get them back.
He rose from his laying position to stand up and face his partner. After Kurama agreed to mix their chakra, their bond had grown stronger.
"Oi, Kit. I know how you feel right now. It's unfair to you that you had to go through this, and it's all my fault. If I hadn't been sealed inside of you, then nothing of this would have happened. Finally when you got the friends you were looking so long for, you lose them because of somebody who wants me, and I'm really sorry about this, Kit." Kurama said sadly. Naruto looked up at Kurama and smiled.
"No, Kurama. I'm happy that you was sealed inside of me, you wanna know why?" he asked. Kurama tilted his head to the side in confusion.
"Because if you weren't sealed in me, then someone else would bear the burden of being hated, and I don't want that. At first I always wondered 'why' and 'why me'. But after a while, I understood why. Because my father believed I could contain this power and after a while control it, and sooner I did. I finally found friends who didn't judge me or hate me because of something I had no control over, and after a while they respected me. And don't you dare take the blame here. Sure, you attacked Konoha, but who controlled you? Madara Uchiha. He was just some power hungry bastard who didn't even care if someone was hurt. At first, I hated you, but when I was hurt and near death, you would always heal me and keep me alive, and I respect you for that. Sometimes, you are a big jackass," ignoring the 'Oi,' from Kurama, "but you have helped me protect my precious people, and you became my friend. We have been partners longer than you think. I thank you, Kurama, because you finally agreed to mix our chakra together, and by that, we won the war," Naruto finished.
Kurama was speechless. This brat… respected him? His heart was filled with warmth at those words. He finally made up his mind. He would help the kit protect his friends and family.
"Kit… Those words… they mean a lot. And now it's my turn to thank you. I have something that will help you bring back your friends, but to do that, you have to go back in time. This jutsu is created by the Rikodou Sennin. He gave me this jutsu, but I can only use this one time, so if I use it, and it works, I can't use it again. You don't have to do it, but I would like to help you as a thanks for being so friendly towards a tailed beast like me and the others, you know?"
Naruto smiled and held out his fist. Kurama smirked and bumped his fist with Naruto.
"I… Thank you, Kurama. Let's go save our friends, now, eh?" Naruto smirked. Kurama smirked back.
"See you soon, Kit," Kurama whispered.
"Bijuu style: Jikan ryokou!"
Many years back, Before the Second world war
Blue eyes opened slowly before closing them again. He opened them again, only to see white roof. Damn hospital, he thought. How do you feel, kit.Blue eyes widened. Kurama! He could hear a chuckle from his partner. Good to see you too, kit. Naruto closed his eyes and entered his mind.
He opened his eyes to see Kurama laying in front of him, looking weak. Kurama could sense his containers confusion and sighed.
"That jutsu I used took a lot of my chakra. But don't worry, I will be fine soon, I just need some sleep," Kurama explained. Naruto felt a little guilty.
"You knew this would happen, didn't you?" Naruto asked. Kurama smirked.
"Of course I knew this would happen, I said I would help you, and I didn't want to tell you what would happen when I did the jutsu to worry you, so I did the jutsu and this happened," Kurama said.
"Someone is in the room so get out so I could sleep, you brat," Kurama muttered. Naruto laughed.
"Good to see you, partner," Naruto smiled. He left his mindscape. Hearing Kurama whisper.
You too, Naruto.
Outside mindscape
Naruto opened his eyes again and sat up. He looked towards the door, to see a much, much younger Sandaime. Hiruzen smiled.
"Hello, my name is Hiruzen Saurtobi and I am the Sandaime Hokage of Konoha. Who are you?" Hiruzen asked. Naruto smiled back.
"My name is Naruto Namikaze, I'm 25 years old, I am from Konoha," Naruto said. Hiruzen narrowed his eyes at Naruto.
"I know every citizen and ninjas in this village, and I have never seen you before," Hiruzen said. Naruto sighed.
"I know you wont believe me, but you have to…" he trailed off. He closed his eyes for a second before opening them again. "What year are we in?" Naruto asked.
"Today is the 23rd of July 120 ARS (after rikodou sennin). Not long ago we were finished with the first world war," Hiruzen replied. Naruto blinked, then blinked, then blinked again.
"120 ARS?" Naruto asked again. Hiruzen nodded. Naruto sighed again.
"42 years in the past, huh… I'm going to start from the start, okay? We were in our fifth world war against Sound Village…" He started. He explained everything. How his life was, what happened next, Jiraiya's death, the Pain attack, the Fourth World War, how he became Hokage, and to now.
To say Hiruzen was surprised, was an underestimation. His eyes widened from the beginning that a child could live like that, and still be cheerful, the wars, his student's death, attack on Konoha that destroyed the whole village. He was speechless. How could this boy… no, man, fight two wars and survive! That was a miracle.
"H..how can you live through TWO wars?!" Hiruzen Said, shocked. Naruto laughed sheepishly and rubbed the back of his neck.
"I had my friends. We fought with each other through the war, supporting each other, protecting each other, saving each other. However, my most important friend, is Kurama, The Nine-tailed fox, Kyuubi no Yoko." Naruto started. Hiruzen's eyes widened even more at the mention of the Kyuubi.
"D… d.. did you just say Kyuubi?" Hiruzen stuttered. Naruto almost laughed. Hiruzen stuttered. Yeah, this was fun.
"Yes I did. He is sealed inside of me, and we are now partners. We have mixed our power, and are now friends." Naruto finished. Hiruzen did something Naruto never thought he would.
He fainted.
Yes, he, the God of shinobi, the Sandaime Hokage, fainted.
Naruto almost passed out because he was laughing so much.
Five minutes later, Hiruzen woke up again. He couldn't believe that this man could control Kyuubi and be friends with him. Not even the Shodaime could control kyuubi. This man was full of surprises. He looked towards Naruto, only to see him trying hard not to laugh. Hiruzen chuckled.
"Didn't imagine me do that, would you?" he asked Naruto as he could help himself but to laugh.
"Haha, I'm sorry, but this is just so funny. So, do you believe me?" Naruto asked as he smirked. Hiruzen nodded.
"Yes, I believe you. I can see it in your eyes. Sadness, grief. Those who has lost someone precious and those who has been in war has those eyes." Hiruzen said. Naruto sighed in relief and nodded.
"I have one question left," Naruto said. Hiruzen nodded.
"Is Minato Namikaze an orphan?" he asked. Hiruzen nodded sadly. Naruto asked what happened.
"His mother died when she gave birth to him, and his father disappeared after Minato turned 4 years old." Hiruzen said sadly. Naruto bowed his head. His father was the same as him, and orphan. When Naruto looked up again, Hiruzen could see determination in this young man's eyes.
"I will make it better. What if you told him I was his father? We do look alike, so why not?" Naruto asked. Hiruzen's eyes widened.
"You would do that?" he asked shocked. This man, his hearts was of gold. Naruto nodded.
"I know how he feel, so of course. If that is okay with you, Hokage-sama," He said. Hiruzen smiled softly.
"Of course. Let's go see you "son", shall we?" Hiruzen said. Naruto smirked.
Konoha Academy
A young boy, at the age of seven, sat at a lonely swing by a three. Spiked yellow hair like the sun, with long locks each side of the face. Blue eyes like the sky. He wore blue pants that went to his shins, blue shinobi sandals. He wore a light blue sleeveless shirt with the Konoha symbol on the front. He was lonely, he had no friends. He was an orphan. He never knew his parents. He only knew his mother died when she had him and his father disappeared. He didn't even know their names, except their last name. Namikaze. He was brought out of his thoughts when he heard someone call his name.
"Minato-kun," Hiruzen said.
Said boy looked up at the Hokage, and at the same time noticing another figure standing beside him. He wore black shinobi pants with bandages on his ankles and black shinobi sandals. He wore a dark red sleeveless shirt with a Jounin west on top. But what got his most attention; was the hair and his blue eyes. Minato's eyes widened. Could he be…? Hiruzen smiled softly.
"Minato-kun, I want you to meet someone you have been longing for; Naruto Namikaze, Your father," Hiruzen said softly.
Tears rolled down Minato's cheeks. His father was in front of him. His father! He watched as the crouch down and held his arms wide. He never noticed the crowd that had begun to appear. He did the first thing he could ever think of. He ran towards his father, threw his arms around the man's neck, and cried. He felt the man wrap his arms tightly around him, pulling him closer. One hand raised and stroke his hair. The crowd began to clap for the family that was now reunited. However, neither noticed nor cared. For them, it was only the two of them, reunited.
"I'm sorry I left. I can't imagine how terrible you have had it. I'm so sorry, Minato," Naruto whispered in his now son's ear. Naruto could feel the pain Minato has been through.
"It's okay, daddy. You are here now, that's all that matters, "Minato whispered back, tears still rolling down his cheeks. Naruto felt tears in his eyes and hugged his son closer, the tears falling freely. He stood up with Minato in his arms, who immediately wrapped his feet around his waist, afraid that if he didn't his father would disappears again. Naruto smiled. He wiped the tears from his face and turned to look at the Hokage. The Hokage smiled and nodded.
"Welcome back to Konoha, Naruto Namikaze," Hiruzen said as he smiled. Naruto smiled and nodded.
"Thank you, Hokage-sama. It's good to be home," he smiled. Naruto turned around and walked away, leaving a shocked crowd and a smiling Hokage behind.
He took out the keys from his pocket and unlocked the door, careful not to wake his now asleep son. It was already dark and they were both exhausted after the day. Minato from crying and Naruto from working on the house.
When he walked inside, he silently walked around to find a room for his son. When he opened the door to his son, he was happy with his work on his room. The walls were light blue. The room had a little double bed with grey sheets. A white closet. The floor was a white carpet like floor. In the window, his academy books was lined up neatly. The view from his room was amazing. He could see the whole village from here. Naruto smiled. He could enjoy living this life.
Naruto walked towards the bed, took away the covers and laid Minato down. He took the covers and let it gently over Minato. He leaned down and kissed his son's forehead. He walked towards the door and was about to close it when he heard a soft whisper.
"Good night daddy. I love you," Minato whispered. Naruto smiled softly and looked over his shoulder.
"Good night son. I love you too," he whispered back and turned off the light and closed the door.
