The Mask and Glasses Club
In a town called The Fire town , there was a high school called Konoha .
It is a normal city with normal people well except for a few ….
It was a normal day like any other day and the sun was settling down, overall it was a fine night.
All the people came home from school or work normally at this time.
Normally the people were having dinner together with their families at this hour….except for a few and one of those was Kushina Uzumaki.
The woman had crimson hair with a nice white skin with dark violet eyes with a beautiful gleam in them, she had beautiful lips with of course a beautiful face .
She was simply the most desirable woman there was on the whole earth well that was what people said .
But right now the woman herself was preparing dinner as it was around the time her son would go home.
Kushina was in her late thirties and is divorced for a certain reason.
She was a gentle and nice person although she had another name when she did go to school : The red Devil, she was kind of the leader of a gang that kind of rules the Konoha School although they didn't do anything wrong with it she has made trouble for them like beating up a whole school up when they tried to attack her or punching the teachers as she has got a short temper….mostly it was because of her short temper.
But now she was calmer became a nice woman everyone couldn't help but like, maybe it was because of the smile she gave everyone or when she was hot headed ( I never said she lost that side of her ) and would just help the people she loved around her although she didn't have much as she scared most people away from her back then but she did find love and married someone she loved his name was Minato Namikaze although not so shortly after that they broke up for a certain reason .
But she did have a happy family : Herself and her son, it wasn't a complete one but it was her happiest time she remembered and got.
They did everything together: Eating ,playing , joking around ( With Aunt Anko) , reading ( with aunt Kurenai although they had to a perverted Jiraiya who tried to make Naruto his pupil to continue his popular but perverted series but the plans got quickly canceled once Kushina heard of it and tortured him with her hot headed side at full MAX) , playing outside ( With Aunt Yugao and his godmother Tsunane who pushed him to the limit with her scary training to make sure he grows into a fine man, although they had to do that in secret as Kushina immediately protested against it)
All those memories were the most precious ones she has in her whole life, she was also as you guessed very protective over him.
Once she found out he was bullied at his school because he was always so clingy to her and immediately she knocked the little rats out … although she was almost sued in court for that but luckily it was just a head fracture and nothing bad well after a few months that is.
She was also kind of spoiling him with little presents in a while although she would always check the other ones gifts because a certain uncle Kakashi tried to give him a famous book and a mouth cap like you had in hospitals although he did keep the mouth cap much to Kakashi's disappointment but he knew he would get him to the dark side once he is old enough and by that thought he was beaten up by Kushina herself as she noticed he tried it over and over again.
Naruto was very clingy to her and she loved that aspect about him although she loved everything about him as she reminded him of herself , when he had to go to kinder garden he wouldn't let go of her and begged she would come with him but as she was a teacher at a high school ( much to her disappointment) she couldn't and that broke her heart actually seeing him off and just seeing him again just at the end of the day because she always felt so lonely when he wasn't there to hug her but as soon as he was home he would just rush over to her and hug the daylight out of her much to her relief and happiness.
Yep the bond between the two was very close : A very close Mother and Son bond although soon to that there came a change : He changed to be more precise.
One day after he came back bruised and cut he tried to lie to her and say he fell of the stairs but she obviously saw through him and demanded to say who they were but he just shook his head and said nothing and that tears her apart as she couldn't help him but then she hugged him like there was no tomorrow and said everything was going to be alright but what happened next was the thing that changed her life forever.
He pushed her away and told her to stay away and ran away himself and soon after that she followed him but when she found him he just told her to get lost and when she asked why as she wanted to help him but all she got was.
These words murdered her from the inside :" I hate you."
And soon after that he ran away again , she tried to follow him but he lost her.
And so she sat on a chair crying that day hoping he would be alright as she called the neighbors and almost whole Fire Village to search for him but on an instant the door opened and what she saw shocked her to her wits .
She didn't see anything more of him no serious she couldn't see how he looked anymore.
He had – but her thoughts were cut off once she remembered how late it was.
'He is going to come back in : Three ,Two, One.' As she could guess
And the door was opened as the person walked in he closed the door and silently walks to the kitchen of the house.
The house itself was quite simple but cozy and has everything a normal family needs .
Once she felt light footsteps at the door, she said .
"Welcome home, Naruto how was your day ?" Asked Kushina smiling brightly at her but soon after that he stepped into the kitchen revealing himself.
The man nodded and goes away , Kushina could guess he was going to his room leaving her alone again.
She sighed as she knows that it goes now everyday like this : He comes in at the exact time and would be coming to the kitchen door to reveal himself saying he was home and then continue and go to his room.
It was sad for Kushina but she tried and tried and tried to at least have a meal together but he shook his head and goes away like she was air, like she wasn't even there or that she never could see him but only the reflection of his black glasses and never his eyes , it was like she was dead to him , it seemed he didn't even think about her as a mother or even a person , he just ignores her and would just leave her all alone like he hated her so much he wanted to let her alone.
He was a tall young man and… that's all she could say about him , he was taller than her and that's it , want to know why ?
Simple: He has hidden his appearance of the rest of the world , she doesn't know when or how but on that day he came back like this .
He wore a white long coat that covers his face and wears sunglasses to cover his eyes while he wears a mouth cap like in a hospital he got from Kakashi once while he wore a hat to cover his hair so no one actually even knew how he looked like.
Including her : You see although she was sure of how he looked like many years ago she started to get confused as many rumors were saying he colored his and even his eyes with contacts.
And she herself wouldn't know anything as he was so secretive and a few years ago he burned all the pictures of himself and with her and that again broke her heart in pieces , her happiest time was for always lost and she knew it , she tried to repair or at least make them viewable even if it was a little but it had no use , he burned them in the garden so she could just see it on the last moment once she does the laundry and saw that Naruto burned something so she was worried he would burn himself but when she looked again , she saw what he was burning but all what she found were ashes of the pictures but all what she could see at least a bit was the picture were Naruto and herself ( With Naruto's face unrecognizable ) were in that same garden hugging each other , she remembered it was uncle Kakashi who took the picture with Rin his wife was there also on that day but unfortunate the day hereafter the woman herself died with their child as she was pregnant ,soon after that Kakashi became distant of everyone and was trying to avoid everyone.
Everyone except Naruto and Iruka , Iruka understood losing someone precious to him as he lost his parents a long time ago while Naruto understood his sadness in a way although she had no idea what or why but he did and could talk to Kakashi like they would normally and even joke around.
Kakashi distanced himself once Kushina from Minato divorced as he was his godparent but once he saw Naruto he saw that he was a blond ball of joy and could see his godparent in him while he had the personality of his cheery mother as he wouldn't want to Naruto grow up like him as he lost his only father as he suicide himself from depression and strangely enough Naruto healed his scar as it felt like Naruto became his child who deserved his love yet Naruto gave it back so as he became again open to everyone and even closer to them as his uncle .
Her , Yugao and Minato suggested a plastic surgeon as the scar was painful but he just shook his head as the scar and his blind eye was a reminder of himself was a reminder of who Rin and his soon to be son Obito who died along with his wife, the scar itself was so painful even Kushina herself could see the pain and sadness in the scar itself .
Iruka and strangely Naruto could just nod in agreement .
Iruka was easy to understand as he did the same with the scar on his nose from the accident his parents died from it but Naruto was a pure mystery , she was still desperate to find out.
He was a complete stranger to her and vice versa , she didn't even know how he sounded or looked like or even his appearance and smile.
But what hurts all the most was : She couldn't hold her little boy anymore, it's like he disappeared of the world and including her connection to her , simply said her heart was broken into pieces and she would do anything to return to that time even die at the end , all that kept her together was her son who always loved her with his whole heart and would be always at her side including when she slept , he would just come to her and ask if he may sleep next it her and of course she agreed happily to it and so they slept every day until the event happened, now she was all alone again while Naruto took his old bed back and sleep in his room and stay there.
She was all alone again in the house, in the kitchen, the living room , her bed, she felt so lonely and the worst of all , she didn't even know what she did wrong , he always loved her and now in an instant on that day he distanced himself from her so it seems that he was a stranger to her and that she lived all alone.
Luckily there was her best friend Mikoto Uchiha who always would go talk to her and keep her company but she has problems of her's too as it was about Itachi , but she had no idea what it was about and it even occurred to her second son : Sasuke , he was always a mother's boy like Naruto as they were the same age but something happened to him also and he distanced himself also from her in a different way from Naruto .
He became a grumpy and broody male with a stick up his ass as Kushina would call it , he had confidence and too much for both women's taste.
He distanced himself from everyone thinking that he was better but Mikoto was still able to see how he looked unlike herself.
She loved her son and even now she still loved him yet he never returned it back to her and that had his consequences .
She still had a smile on her face….but a fake one that she always would show to the world but at home , she was her true self but that's for later.
So now back to the situation.
Kushina sighed once again and goes to the living room seeing Naruto surprisingly on the couch but instantly she remembered why .
Once a week he would just sit there and wait for something yet she never knows why but he did it and would just sit there for hours watching someone or something , she has no idea why or what but he did , it wasn't the TV as it was closed but it was something but all what she found as she sat in the same place was the view of the kitchen , the living room and the TV but why or what he was watching was a mystery as the young man himself.
He was well…. A mystery for her, her own son was like a stranger to her and that hurts her the most .
No one even knows why or how not even her friends , aunts , uncles although she suspected that Jiraiya and Tsunade know something at least small about it and also Kakashi it seemed…. She suspected there was a connection with him as he wore a mouth cap like him yet when she asks he always shrugged it off and pretends like he doesn't know or doesn't care but she knew all too well that he was lying as Naruto's older brother type Iruka who wanted to tell it to her but he seemed always be cut off by Kakashi who said :" It's nothing never mind." And would just walk away or change the subject.
She knew all too well they knew why he acted this way and she wants to find out , even today but the problem is , she tried everything she could, talking to friends and family heck she even asked strangers who just answer: "Who the heck is Naruto ?"
So desperate was the woman, she wanted to know where she did go wrong with him , she was always nice to him as they loved each other and even spoiled him a little bit but suddenly he stopped after that and would just do the normal routine : Waking up , eat breakfast at someone's place (She tries to find out who but she never could find him) , then go to school ( She tried to find out what he did there in his free time but she wasn't allowed as it was a personal request of Naruto himself but she did hear that Naruto was in a club that Itachi is in it but yet he doesn't tell what they do there and she couldn't of course get anything out of Naruto himself so it was a mystery for her.)
But soon her thoughts were cut off as she knows what time it was : He was going to leave the chair and go to his room.
Kushina saw it and rapidly said as Naruto was already going up the stairs .
"H-How was school." Said the woman nicely with a smile she could just muster up the moment but all she got as a response was.
Clink
The door closed , he simply ignored her and mind his own business .
Now you could clearly see the smile fallen and been replaced by a saddened look while tears were escaping her eyes.
It hurts in her heart to see her son ignore her like air and leave her alone , all alone , all alone in their own house.
Now even more tears were falling once she get's flashbacks of the young and cheery Naruto yet by burning the pictures she has got a trauma and couldn't even remember his face back then.
She was all alone in this world yet is not isolated , only by her most precious person on earth : Naruto.
The only reason she wasn't completely isolated from the world was because she was a teacher and could talk to various teachers who were close to her and would always be known as a nice and cheerful woman with fire in her eyes as people may say about her but once inside her room or when nobody was around which was often…
She changed into her true self : Simply put depressed , sad , lonely you call it , all the negative emotions she has stored up over the years and so she would just simply cry in her bed or just simply cry where she can.
She was now in her bedroom and stared at the spot that she was the cause she was even crying more than before : The spot where Naruto slept next to her when she felt depressed or sad.
When she was depressed or such Naruto would just lay next to her even more and hug her even when she was asleep hoping she would be happy again and it worked very well as she always smiled the next morning seeing Naruto with his tired eyes from making sure she doesn't have a nightmare.
She always felt secure from her son from the loneliness but now….now she felt all alone and the depression was just coming more frequent and worse, she even thought of ending her life as she remembered the words she said to Naruto when he was still her sweet boy.
Flashback
"The only reason I live is because you are in my life because if you weren't born I would probably kill myself of loneliness ." With a smile at her son who was sitting on her lap at the same old couch in the living room.
Naruto was actually frowning his eyebrows making him even cuter but he knew all too well what she was talking about, he may be a very young boy but he understood far more than a normal boy should and knows all too well what she meant by that phrase : The reaso so he said as he wanted to cheer her up : " Don't worry mom I will never leave your side I love you too much for that." As he hugged her bring the woman to returning the hug even tighter herself and smiling at him .
"And I love you too Naruto , you aren't going to leave your mommy alone aren't you even after you grow up ." said the woman sweetly only getting a pouting of Naruto.
" Of course not I am going to stay by your side forever mom I will even marry you if I have to ." said the boy in sweet way like he believed it could happen making the woman chuckle .
"You don't have to , just find yourself a very nice girl to spend your lifetime with." Said Kushina laughing at her son's antics.
"But I already found one Mom, you ." said Naruto making the woman happy , although she knows it was a childish way of speaking it actually hit her heart like any mother would do once a child would say that to their parents , he was clearly a mother's boy and that was actually a relief for her as she knows there are also children who love their father's more as he doesn't have one so it is all the more reason to stay alive for him.
Kushina rolled her eyes and say : " Sure." with a sarcastic voice
"B-But it's true ."said Naruto with his eyes wide open while he exclaimed it but quickly he started to laugh once his mother started to tickle him.
"First beat me in a tickle contest and then we will see ." said Kushina joking while she only heard Naruto say.
"S-stop please I can't take anymore." While tears were leaking of his eyes making Kushina chuckle.
"I can but I am not going to do that , you are just too cute Naru-chan."
"Y-You too Kushi-chan." Said Naruto still laughing but rapidly he regretted it as she stopped tickling him as he knew what he just said to her.
And the sight frightens him.
Kushina's red hair began to float in the air like she was a psychic as her eyes were pure white of madness as her voice became lower.
"Naruto what did you just say ?" asked the woman dangerously frightening him even more.
"H-Hum mom ." said Naruto while sweat was dropping of his head .
"Correct." Said the woman instantly back to her previous behavior making Naruto fall like a rock.
"But I do have to punish you as you called me that way as for the cute comment ." said Kushina with an evil glint in her eyes making him scared even more of her.
"W-what then, m-mother." Said Naruto scared once again.
Kushina came closer and closer till he was stuck on the ground.
"No ramen for a week." Said Kushina making Naruto stare at her for a few seconds until…
"NOOOO, no please anything but that , please I am going to do everything you say but please no ramen for week o-otherwise hum…. I am going to run away from you-" but he was interrupted by the next thing he felt on his cheek.
A slap across his face making stunning Naruto
He almost cried until.
She began to hug him while whispering a lot of ' I am sorry please don't leave me' in his ear.
It wasn't meant to hurt him but just to make him stop talking , what started with a playful punishment ended in something she feared far more worse that it became her nightmare.
For Naruto to leave her.
She said it herself : Her biggest fear was for Naruto to leave her life so she did everything she could to keep him even if it would kill her.
After a few minutes Naruto broke the silence as he began to cry while he said sorry in her chest while hugging her in fear that he would lose her.
Kushina could just sigh but with a smile on her face in content as Naruto continued crying whispering sorry as please don't leave me.
She was smiling as she knows he wasn't going to leave her life so easily anymore as she neither for now or never.
After a few minutes Naruto broke apart making Kushina speak also : " Sorry ." said the two in unison making the two chuckle again in their usual antics.
Yep the two were like the same side of the same coin.
Kushina could just sigh in relief and happiness as the usual behavior of Naruto returned so she said.
"So how about we go to our favorite restaurant now I think it isn't closed yet." Said Kushina who smiled at her son, making him chuckle and nod .
"OF COURSE!" yelled the little boy in excitement making them both laugh as they both proceeded to the restaurant called : Ichi Raku .
And the pair walked to the restaurant happily hand in hand .
And since from that day they never spoke about leaving each other again.
Flashback end
Kushina was done with crying as the memory was done also .
She smiled at the memory but the smile quickly faltered as she remembered that there were pictures taken that day.
It was of herself and Naruto both were eaten ramen at their favorite restaurant : The Ichi Raku .
They were also close friends with the owners as they took the pictures.
Everyone could tell Naruto loved his mother very much and it was a shock once he acted that way.
Although she was now wondering what the rumors said about him.
People would say he ate at a restaurant called the Sound Five or something although she never could find it even after a lot of research she couldn't.
But the rumors said that the weirdest and worst kind of people would only eat there.
She was also afraid what would become of him as she was fearing he was hanging out with the wrong people although she didn't fear about his grades because strangely enough he had the best of his classes although she wondered why because he was pretty much a blockhead much like herself back then so why the sudden change ?
Anyways Kushina also did A LOT of tries to take off his mask but every time she couldn't , when they were eating he would always distract her and strangely enough he would eat everything in one shot.
She really wondered how or when but he always would even if no one was around them or even alone .
And that hurt her even more , she wondered how much she could take anymore , she was at the end of her ropes and she was soon to let go if things were going further like this.
Kushina sighed in defeat and depression and saw it was night as the moon was shining brightly and it was beautiful.
But because her eyes were sore from the crying , she was too tired so she decided to do one thing : Sleeping.
So she lays on her bed with her back to the moon as she lets a few tears fall from her eyes as she knows what this spot was for.
It was for Naruto who was laying on the opposite direction of her with his face to her while she blocks the view of the sun so he could sleep without interruption .
She strangely enough giggled at the memory of Naruto's way of sleeping , he would just mumble in his sleep about ramen and would just hug her tightly more and more as she happily responded to it with a gentle but strong hug also.
She sighed once again as her tears were reappearing.
But it was just a memory , one she wanted to return to her once again with all her hope , It was a small but strong gesture for her having someone at her side , showing that the person cared about her , she felt happy seeing how he slept funny or didn't budge, she felt comfort from him , warmth yet a strange air of protection.
She remembered all those feelings which she enjoyed every night making every day of her life a day in heaven but now …it were days in hell for her .
She wanted to at least have one day were Naruto was by her side, laughing , smiling , hugging , playing , everything , she wanted her son back , she wanted the most important person in her life back but it was all just a dream that would never came true and she knew it .
She thought about this everynight and prayed about him to the gods he would return to her and be her son again once and for all but the prayers were never answered like it was a punishment from the demons from down under, like she did something wrong, something so wrong that was called a sin but she never did something wrong no not at all and that was the strange thing about the punishment.
She was so far as she did do nothing wrong but even so she did pray to the god begging for forgiveness for the things she did which she had no idea about as she didn't do anything wrong.
But the only one who can answer her prayers was Naruto .
And so the woman fell in sleep with again the same illusion in front of her eyes.
A young man so close yet so far , he seemed familiar yet not yet she couldn't even see his face but she wanted to but every time when she extends her hands he disappears like he was a ghost which never existed .
And so the woman fell asleep with tears in her eyes , with sadness and depression hoping someday she would find her relief in front of her sleeping in her arms while hugging her but she knew the day would never come.
But if she slept in the opposite direction she would see somebody watching the moon in the garden.
And his name was Naruto Uzumaki .
Ok Let's end here .
