This is where we start and where a young boy's innocence ends, after this moment Naruto's life changes. And the story begins…
Naruto Uzumaki
Age 6
Osaka, Japan
October 10, 1990 - Midday
I walked in through the back door and heard the water running from in the kitchen and rolled my eyes, mother is always too worried about cleaning she really needs to relax sometimes. I toed of my shoes and smiled thinking of how angry Tuski Inoue was when I beat him again at soccer. He was so angry his face turned red and he stomped and yelled and ran home to 'tell' on me for cheating.
"Musuko is that you?"
My hand went up to my mouth, I think I laughed…
"Ye-Yes hahaoya um where are you"
I looked around and stopped when I saw mother her back turned toward me. I glanced at the counter and gulped, her pill bottle was empty.
"Mama, are you OK?"
She laughed and it sent a chill down my spine. She turned to face me her red hair looked as if on fire and her fist clenched.
"I want to die!"
"Don't say that Mama!"
"Well what should I say? You asked me whether I was ok and the answer is no, I want to..."
"Don't!"
I put my hands up to stop her from saying it again.
"I Love you."
She put her hand up to her face and shook her head.
"Oh baby, I Love you too."
She slowly walked toward me and gave me a hug.
"But, I've got to do this."
I let out a cry. (My hahaoya is sick, Chichioya told me that she has a problem with depression and paranoia…she thinks people are out to get her, and me.)
"Don't do this, you'll get better Chichi says so,"
I reached out my hand for her as she turned and grabbed something off of the counter.
"Mama, I can't be alone! I'm only a kid?"
It sounded like a whine and it was one. Haha turned around with a Shun knife in hand. I stood not noticing that I had fallen to my knees,
"Mama,"
I walked toward her pleading with her.
"This isn't good Mama, Your sick. Please stop."
She laughed.
"I'm doing this for you idiot, all because of you."
I watched as she plunged the knife into her chest and ran at her as her body hit the ground with a sickening thud. I cradled her head a cried a bit before getting up and dialing 119 which is the emergency number my Chichi told me about but I'd never had to use before.
"119, what's your emergence?"
"My-My Hahaoya she, I think she's dead!"
"Please calm down and tell us where you are."
"I'm at home"
"What's your address?"
"108 Chiyozaki"
"Thank you, an ambulance is on the way. Can you tell me what happened, are you in danger?"
I took a breath and looked over at Mama
"No, Haha stuck a Shun knife through her chest and stopped breathing"
"You are being very strong; the ambulance is almost there go see if you can possibly get a pulse."
I put the phone on the counter and crawled over to mama trying to not think about the blood pooling around her.
"Mama, it's going to be OK. I called the emergency number and there sending help."
I cried as my little, so little hands grabbed her wrist and pushed trying to find a pulse a little tiny thing of pressure. Nothing; she was limp and warm and I felt sick. I ran to the sink and puked up the lunch I'd just had with Chiyo Yoshida, the nice blonde girl. I cried and sank to the ground putting my head down resting it on my knees. Mama's going to be OK. Mama isn't going to leave me. She said it was because of me. It's my fault. I killed my Haha.
Yup sure did, aren't ya proud
"NO, NO! It's not my fault I couldn't have stopped her! She's so big and strong! She's MAMA I CAN'T DO ANYTHING!"
Of course you could have done something like telling her that you need her and she's the only one that can possibly ever save you.
I cried some more even as a man grabbed my arm and took me to the second ambulance with mama in the first.
"Kid, your covered in blood are you hurt."
I nodded and pointed to my chest.
"My heart hurts."
The man with a rough face nodded and shook his head.
"Poor kid, two parents in one day."
My eyes shot over to the woman in a suit talking to one of the ambulance people. I looked back at the rough faced man
"Where's Chichioya?
I heard the other ambulance worker saying something under his breath and focused trying to hear him,
"Is 6:17pm, female, 23, Kushina Uzumaki…"
I felt my nose get hot and eyes well up with tears.
"-ffice fire, it took out nearly half the building, the police think that it may have been an act of terrorism, I'm so sorry for your loss."
I shook my head, I had missed half of what he had said but understood well enough that my dad had died, and my mom had died and they had left me all alone.
"I want my Mama, and Chichi!"
The rough faced man had left and was talking to the women in the suit. She nodded and walked over to me. A sad smile was on her face as she spoke,
"I'm sorry but your father, Namikazi Minato's body wasn't found after the fire and your mother had gotten the call."
I nodded; I didn't understand why she was telling me this.
"Is there anyone your mother or father trusted your care to? Do you have a god-mother or a god-father?"
I nodded and thought of that ero- sennin with the white hair and laugh lines
"Ye-Yes, Jiraya-san is my god-father"
She nodded and patted my head before walking to a car and pulling out a cell phone. I didn't know what they thought they were doing but some guys came and took me to a hotel a little while after the women in the suit had left and it was making me nervous and I couldn't stop thinking for even a few seconds about Mama and Chichi
It's your fault their dead
I shook my head no it's not, it's not my fault. Chichi died in a fire and Mama killed herself. It's not my fault.
"It's not my fault"
It's not my fault
"It's not my fault."
"It's not my FAULT!"
I shook my head sobbing and felt a hand grasp my shoulder one of the men had looked down and he offered me a smile.
"Don't think about it."
He warned me and I nodded but how can one not think about the death of both his Chichioya and Hahaoya, I'm only 5!
"Where are we going?"
The other one, with blonde hair didn't look at me as he spoke,
"We're going to your god-father."
I pouted ero-sennin taught my Chichi when he was little how to fight and I was told introduced Mama to him. Mama! Mama and Chichi won't have breakfast with me or dinner or any more meals, they won't help me with math or anything hard! I hate them! Why didn't they try harder to stay alive, if not for themselves why not for me? Didn't they love me?
No, they didn't love you they both pulled the plug on their lives! It's your fault too.
I clutched my head and wished the voice would go away.
"Just leave me alone!"
"It's alright kid, were almost gone, sorry about your loss, we didn't mean to upset you."
The comforting man told me and patted my head. I hate it when people I don't know pat my head. We walked into the elevator and the blond one pressed a button but I didn't pay attention which one.
"I want my Mama and Chichi"
Both of them shook their heads
"We're sorry-"
"but that's not"
"possible, they are"
"as you know,"
"dead."
I don't really know how they did it but they finished a sentence together and it made me laugh a sick distraught laugh. The elevator made the 'cling' noise and after a few second the door opened. They lead me down the hall and told me to just go into the room they pointed to. I rubbed my eyes and nodded. The door opened before I could touch it so I just shrugged and looked up at the man who had opened it.
"Naruto my boy, I'm sorry about Kushina and Minato."
I hugged his legs and cried until he started to walk backwards and close the door.
"It's my fault!"
The old man laughed it sounded sad though,
"Naru-chan it isn't your fault, you're just a little boy, you couldn't have saved either of them."
I cried some more as he lifted me up and carried me to the couch.
"I miss them both so much!"
I sobbed and wiped my nose, I want my mama and chichi! He set me down and left the room coming back after a second with two cups.
"Would you like some tea?"
I shook my head. I hate tea! Jiraya set the glass down and started to drink his after he had sat. He suddenly got up and left the room…and me.
"Boy, I got this for you for your Birthday and had wanted to give it to you tonight."
My eyes shot open wide. I had forgotten all about my birthday! I'm 6! That thought just made me cry more. Mama and Chichi aren't going to be at any more of my birthdays! I wish this day would end. Jiraya walked over to be and dropped a package with orange wrapping paper on it on my lap; I just stared at it and felt so many knots in my stomach that I wanted to puke
"Open it. I know it won't bring back your Mom and Dad but I think it might make you stop crying."
My fingers lifted to my face and felt my still wet cheek; I don't want to stop crying. I want to forget that this day ever happened and start over!
To bad punk, just open the present and say thank you.
"Thank you, Jiraya-san"
I took my time getting the paper off; I don't think I really wanted to see what was inside. I hate my birthday! As the wrapping paper fell open I saw a locket inside but was a circle with the family crest carved into it.
"Like it? Good now open it."
I played with it in my hands for a little while longer and turned it over to see my name with both my last names carved on the back Naruto Uzumaki Namikazi I smiled slightly though not out of joy and opened the locket. In one half it had me and Jiraya-san in the other half it had me and my parents. I smiled at the pictures and then gave my God-father a big smile.
"Thank you. I love it."
I felt my eyes well up again and knew it was time for bed though I didn't think I'd get much sleep. I tried to stand but ended up wobbling and Jiraya stood and steadied me. He gave me a hug.
"I hope you get some sleep tonight."
I nodded and walked off in the direction of the guest room that I always stayed in when I slept over. This time is different though because I won't be going home ever again. I can't go to the place where my mom died. (I refused to admit to myself that she killed herself) As I turned the door handle I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Then opened it and went inside. It hadn't changed since the last time I stayed here, so feeling a sense of comfort I stripped off my clothes and climbed into bed pulling the covers around me tightly after awhile of twisting and turning, my mind slowed and I drifted off.
AN: Thanks' for reading the new version of an old story and I swear that it'll be NaruSasu it'll just take awhile for them to meet for the first time. I can't wait to get feed back to comment XD
