Summary: What would life be like if Naruto had someone to care for him from the start. TsunadeX?, and eventual NarutoXHinata

"Talking"

'Thinking'

"Kyubbi/inner persona Thinking"

*#*#*#*#*#*#&*#*#*#*#*#*#

"Will you take him?" the question seemed to repeat itself constantly in her mind.

She looked down at the innocent blue eyes. Eyes that where looking up in wonder at her, as she was tried to come up with an answer to the question asked.

Her answer would not only change her life but the life of the whole village, maybe even the whole shinobi world.

"I…" She could not speak. She felt slightly hypnotized by how familiar the eyes were. And as she continued to softly gaze into hypnotic blues, they seemed to speak of what could have been, and what she desperately wanted to be.

"If you don't take him there's no telling what will happen to him. I'm not foolish enough to think I can care for him. I have way too many things that would keep me away." Spoke a tired, rasping old voice, snapping her out of her somber thoughts.

Still not looking up she tried to find a reason to take him, and in doing so remembered the last eyes she had ever seen this blue, and how she had left them behind.

*#*#*#*#*#*#_FLASHBACK_*#*#*#*#*#*#*

She had her pack ready and was making sure that her toddlers things were together. This was the last straw, she had to leave.

Once she had double checked everything she picked up her sleeping toddler and their packs, before quickly leaping out the window of the house she had secretly shared with her first love, who passed just two years before.

Just as she was about to reach the village gates she saw movement and quickly turned. Only to find the last person she wanted to see coming out of the shadows.

"I…I see you have decided to leave….where will you be going?" the owner of those eyes asked

There was silence for some time, and eyes locked. Their eyes speaking for them. Cobalt blue, Emerald green. Both pairs of eyes showing sadness, fear, and determination.

"I can't say I just know it's away from here." As she spoke her voice portrayed none of the sadness that fought to consume her.

Aggravated by the feeling of betrayal, and her emotionless tone he was no longer able to hold his emotions in. Speaking in a hurt tone with his teeth gnashed together he asked, "And when were you going to tell me of your leaving the village Tsunade?! HUH!"

Cooling a little when he saw the bundle she was holding stir, he continued more softly, but just as fierce.

"Was I to just find out when I, your damned fiancé, didn't see you or Shizune-chan for days?" he said gesturing to the bundle.

"You didn't even try to leave a note, and don't even try to lie I already checked. Being the fastest nin has its perks." He said finishing with a bitter note.

Too shocked to speak she stood staring at him. When it looked as if he was about to yell again, she finally spoke.

"I didn't tell you because, I knew you wouldn't let me leave-"she was cut off before she could finish.

"Bullshit!" his voice was staining to keep low, "You know I would let you go if you were that unhappy with me." He said as the sadness in his eyes betrayed the fierceness of his voice.

"Are you that stupid?" she asked incredulously.

All she was met with was a confused and hurt stare. That told her all she needed.

"I was, no I am leaving, because this place has nothing but bad memories for me. You were the only thing to keep me grounded in the last two years, and I'm leaving because I can't be here when you die. That would break me."

She felt the tears that had started to fall, but made no move to clear them.

He opened his mouth to speak, confusion still in his eyes.

"But I'm not going to die Kio I-"

"Don't lie to me! You've known, you know that everyone to take the position or even want the position of Hokage has died, I was there when they died. I don't want to be here when you do."

Her voice was nothing but a whisper at the end, but she knew he heard her, he always did.

The silence that followed was deafening and no one made a move, besides breathing. Then suddenly he was walking towards her, almost running next, and in a few long strides he was upon her. Holding her. Kissing her. Feeling her, for what he thought to be the last time. The bundle in her arms stirred again as he kissed her head. Communicating a plea with his eyes she handed over the bundle to him one last time.

Upon the exchange of hands a cute yawn sounded and shinning green eyes met his face with a joyous gurgle. His eyes could no longer hold back the tears as he looked at, and held his would be daughter for the last time.

Nuzzling his tear streaked face against her soft check he spoke. "I love you Shizu-chan, Tou-chan will always love you no matter what. Even if I-I.. I never see you again you'll always be right in my heart." Kissing her small forehead once more, he handed her back to her waiting mother.

Turning so that he wouldn't see the tears in her eyes she spoke to him softly, betraying no emotions in her voice. "Good-bye Minato, thank you for being there from the beginning."

With that said she quickly ran to the gates before he could say more. Only stopping at the gate to cast an illusion to change the eyes that marked her and her daughter as Senju, then quickly took off. Not to know that a pair of dulling blues watched until he could see them no more, and that this would be the last time she saw his eyes shine so bright.

*#*#*#*#*#*#_END FLASHBACK_*#*#*#*#*#*#*

Running a finger over a the soft tuff of blond, as tears pricked her hazel eyes, she finally broke contact and looked up into curious old eyes that she was sure had been silently observing her for however long she had been thinking.

"I have two conditions," she heard him sigh in relief and waited for him to sign for her to continue. "One those old bastards on the council have no say in anything, and I mean anything that is to go on with his life or the people in it." Again she paused waiting for him to nod and write it down. She hesitated for a moment longer, because she knew he would not like what she was about to say next. "Secondly he will now mine, and you will have no say in when and if I decide to bring him back."

She held her breath when she saw his eyes narrow, but then he sighed and wrote that down as well. Gesturing for her to come over her handed her a pen, as she shifted the babe in her arms to accept it. Her eyes quickly scanned the document before signing, but it did not seem to sink in until she heard the old man say, "Congratulations Tsunade, you are now the proud mother of Naruto Senju-Namikaze."

Her eyes widened before looking down again to blue, and she grinned as tears finally made their way free. Kissing his blond tuff as he burbled, she put her cheek to his and whispered. "I'm your kaa-chan baby, I'm your kaa-chan."
