The sun shining through his window onto his sleeping face, the young blonde haired Jinchuriki opened his eyes with a yawn, stretching his arms out before sitting up in his bed. "Its morning already?" he groaned groggily, swinging his feet out of his bed. "Man, why couldn't the night be a little longer?" the boy asked before seeing his room door swing open, standing there was his red haired mother with a smile on her face.
"Morning Naruto. Merry Christmas" she beamed happily to her son, holding a spatula in one hand with the other rest on the doorknob. "Christmas?" Naruto groaned rubbing his eye sleepily. "Hurry up and wash up so you can have some breakfast" Kushina smiled, a blonde haired man walking up behind her with a smile on his face. "Hurry up son. Your mother made her special holiday breakfast so you should hurry up" he smiled at his son.
"Okay you guys. Just five more minutes" Naruto yawned before a spoon went flying through the air and hit his forehead leaving a red bruise. The smile on his mother's face looked more forced now and she now had a vein throbbing in her head. "Naruto Uzumaki, I said hurry up and wash up. That doesn't mean you go back to sleep" she said with her fist shaking, the spatula in her hand bending as she gripped it. "Okay okay I'll wash up!" Naruto shouted, holding up his arms defensively trying not to get hit again.
"Good. Now hurry up before the food gets cold" Kushina said before slamming the door shut, Minato following a few feet behind her. "Umm…Kushina, don't you think you were a bit harsh on our son?" he asked her nervously, not willing to be the next victim of her anger. "Are you saying I don't know how to take care of our son?" Kunshina asked, her eyebrow twitching as she looked over her shoulder at Minato who held up his hands defensively.
"N-no that's not what I'm saying at all" Minato said, laughing nervously as Kushina calmed down and untied her apron from around her hips before sitting down at the table. "Good. I wouldn't have to be so rough with him if he was a bit more self-disciplined" the red haired woman sighed before looking at her husband. "Well, at least there's no denying that he's our child" Minato smiled as he took a seat at the table.
"Owowow! Man that hurt!" Naruto hissed, rubbing the red bruise on his forehead as the warm water rinsed the soap from his body. "Mom's always so angry at me and dad for no reason" he sighed as he rubbed more soap over his sculpted pectorals, having gained a bit more muscle definition after all he's been through. "Well, I guess it's fine since she used to be Kurama's Jinchuriki" he chuckled, feeling his stomach heat up at the mention of the Nine Tail's name.
You cheeky brat. Don't speak my name so carelessly Kurama growled in annoyance, no longer restrained by the gates that held him back in the past. "Don't be mad Kurama. It's Christmas" Naruto smiled as he spoke to the Kyuubi. I see no use in celebrating a day that's no different from any other Kurama growled in response, Naruto only chuckling at what the Kyuubi said.
Elsewhere in Konoha, the other clans and families were preparing for the Christmas festivities Tsunade and Shizune planned for the village in honor of the holidays. Stores and shops were still open and hosting sales in honor of Christmas, restaurants were displaying special meals they had specifically for the holiday season, and even the Ninja Academy was getting into the holiday spirit. As Naruto finished with his shower, Konohakagure was getting ready to host it's Christmas holiday festivities. And the day had only just begun.
