Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. I shall refrain from violently expressing what I would do if I did own Naruto, as it is the holiday season. XD
A/N: Thanks for clicking!! We're kicking off with Naruto. (Warning: impossible situation coming up!) This one's dedicated to all the fans of Naruto, Minato, and Kushina out there! I hope you enjoy! –SS

-:Naruto:-

"Dad?"
"Mmph," is the mostly-asleep reply.
"Daaaad, come on!" Vigorous shaking from the impatient blond boy.
His efforts are acknowledged only by a louder "Mmph".
He shrugs, as if to say They asked for it, and pounces on the bed.
Up and down he bounces, almost hitting the ceiling more than once. A syllable escapes his mouth with every jump. "Da-ddy!-Come-on-it's-Christ-mas-mor-ning-and-I-want-to-see-what-I-got!"
No results. After five years, his parents have become experts at ignoring their son's exploits. So, indignant, he bounces harder.
Consequently, Namikaze Minato finds himself on the floor, having been bounced straight out of his bed by his irate 5-year-old.
"All right," he says tiredly. "I get it. Guess I should get up; after all, it is-" He strains his neck to look at the clock and groans. "-..6:00 A.M."
Missing the sarcasm, Namikaze Naruto beams and leaps off the bed. "All right!! Christmas is here!!" The weary Hokage can't help but smile at his son's exuberance. "Okay. Don't you want to get Mommy, too?" he adds slyly.
"Don't even think about it, Minato," Uzumaki Kushina warns sleepily from the bed. "I'll be right down."
"All right, all right," he responds, grinning. "C'mon, Naruto."
…………………………
"Whoo-hooo!!!"
Well, that takes care of anyone in Konoha getting a decent sleep, Minato thinks, his grin widening. Naruto being so excited is endearing…unless his parents are on the receiving end. "We have to wait for your mom, Naruto," he reminds his son.
"I'm here, I'm here," Kushina says, appearing out of nowhere and collapsing on the couch with a yawn. "Merry Christmas, boys." "Merry Chistmas!!" Naruto says quickly. "Can I open my presents now? Pleeeease?"
"Go ahead," Minato says with a tired smile, joining his wife on the couch. With a squeal of joy, the boy attacks the pile of presents, wearing a smile as big as the village itself.
"Here's one for Mom," he says, tossing his mother a rectangular box. "And another one for Mom.." A second box goes flying toward the red-haired woman.
"This one's Dad's," the five-year-old continues, passing his father a big, heavy box. "Why do the grown-ups always get their stuff first?...Ah-haa!! There's one for me!"
He takes a moment to savor the bright orange paper, the blue bow, and then tears excitedly at it. His parents watch him fondly as wrapping paper flies and shredding noises fill the room.
"It's a scroll!" he crows ecstatically, holding up his prize in triumph. "My first one!! Thanks!" A pause. "It looks like a…um, a…"
He struggles for a few more moments, then half-smiles sheepishly. "..Um, I have no clue what kind of scroll this is."
"It's a summoning jutsu," Minato explains proudly. "Your godfather helped me with it. You know how it works, right?" "Right!!" Naruto chirps. "What does it summon?"
"Find out," his father suggests.
"It's not something that's going to destroy the house, is it?" Kushina asks her husband in an undertone. "Nah. Just watch," he reassures her.
Naruto bites down on his finger to draw the necessary blood, and activates the jutsu. Smoke billows out everywhere. The boy watches eagerly for a glimpse of his animal partner.
"Wha-? This isn't a battlefield," the newcomer observes in confusion. "What's going on?"
The five-year-old lets out a yell of ecstasy and glomps the small fox for all he's worth.
"Why-is-this-kid-attacking-me?!" Daidaiiro-Kitsune yelps. "Heeelp!"
The Fourth Hokage is wiping away tears of laughter at the scene; Kushina is doubled over with the effort of containing her amusement.
"I'm not attacking you," Naruto corrects, pausing in his Death Hug. "You're my new partner, see?"
"Partner? Partner? You?" The fox gives the Fourth Hokage a pained look. "How could you, Minato?! I specifically told you I did not want a spazzcase to be my first human partner!"
Minato shrugs, forcing down a smile. "I just thought you two fit well."
"You did this on-! Ahh! Back! Back, you animal!!" Daidaiiro yells, running to avoid being death-glomped again. Naruto chases gleefully after him.
Kushina half-smiles and shakes her head as her son attempts to catch and squeeze the life out of a small fox. Not exactly what I was expecting to see on Christmas morning, but.. "Nicely done, Minato." She pauses. "Rest assured, though, that whatever they break, you will be cleaning up."
He grins his closed-eyes grin. "Happy Christmas, Kushina."
