AN: So I've had this idea for a while, so I thought I'd write it out before it disappeared! Basically, Naruto gets pulled into an alternate reality where his 'Another' (The Naruto of that reality) has a big family. Minato and Kushina are still dead but he's got a lot of siblings and they kind of adopt him. I can take criticism.

Warning: Nothing major, I actually don't even know what these are for but whatever.

Disclaimer: As much as I wished I owned it, Naruto belongs to Kishimoto-sensei.


~October 10th, Age 6~

He was always alone. Well, not always, sometimes Jiji came to visit, see how he was doing, but Jiji had other responsibilities and couldn't always be with him. But either way, he was alone, and worse, it was his birthday and bad things always happened on his birthday. He couldn't understand why everyone hated him, why he couldn't leave his apartment without people glaring at him. They always called him a demon and yell mean things at him, he didn't have any friends because their parents told them to stay away from him… He couldn't walk into a shop without being rudely booted out, or chased out, usually with a broom. He wondered why he didn't have any parents, were they dead? Or did they hate him like everyone else and wanted nothing to do with him? Did they ever love him? Why was he alone?

Darkness was creeping into the room when, suddenly, a yell sounded from outside his apartment and a rock broke through his window. This usually happened on his birthday, people would get angry and drunk on this day and gather outside his apartment and break things and yell at him, call him things like Kyuubi-brat or monster. He quickly took cover in his bathroom and locked the door, not that the flimsy thing would help much if they decided to break in… It was days like today that he wished more than ever that he had parents, a family. The sound of wood breaking could be heard from outside the small bathroom and he knew that they had broken in, and he absently wondered if he would survive this one.

'I wish I had someone to be with…'

"Where is the little monster?!" Was heard from the other side of the door, along with the sound of one of his ramen bowls being shattered against a wall.

"Dunno, you check the closet, I'll check the bathroom." A second voice said. Fear gripped his heart and he backed up, right into an old, cracked mirror.

'Please, someone!'

A bright light filled the small room and he felt the mirror disappear and he fell… Right into another room, and it certainly wasn't his bathroom, or any bathroom. The light of morning flitted into the tidy room and he stood to take in his new surroundings. The bed was neatly made with an orange comforter and the walls painted blue. There was a desk with some scrolls neatly stacked on it and some wooden practice kunai haphazardly thrown on it. Overall, it was a rather nice room, spacious. It was then that he realized that whoever owned this house would really not be happy with him in it. He was about to make a strategic exit via the window when…

"Naru! Get Senta and come downstairs, breakfast is on!" A high pitched voice called.

'N-naru? Is she talking to me? Who's Senta?'

"Naru-nii!" Small hands banged on the door to the room, "C'mon! Nee-chan's calling, let's go eat…" The voice whined. Naru hesitantly opened the door to reveal a red headed boy, no older than four. He had whisker marks on his cheeks similar to his own, wide blue eyes, and was holding a small stuffed toad. Quickly, the boy grabbed Naru's hand and dragged him through a maze of hallways, a flight of stairs, and into a large dining room.

"Feed me, dattebani!" Senta screamed as he released Naru's hand and bolted for a tallish, blonde haired girl and proceeded to hug her legs. The girl laughed and placed the plate she was holding down before picking the boy up and spinning around. At the table, there were already seven other children seated and eating. The youngest was a baby, probably a girl if you went off the pink onesie she was wearing, with blonde hair and bluish-purple eyes and no whisker marks sitting in a highchair. Next were two children who were nearly identical with the only difference being their clothes and hairstyles, the girl with short pig tails and the boy with short spiky hair slightly shorter than Naru's, they were around one or two years old. Three more children, probably a year older than Naru was, were seated next to each other and talking quietly with each other. Two boys sitting on either side of a girl, the girl and one of the boys with red hair and the other boy with blonde, they had two whisker marks on each cheek. Finally, there was a girl, maybe nine, sitting by herself. She had long red hair, no whisker marks, and one blue eye with the other being a light purple. Then of course, there was Senta and the tall blonde girl, she was the oldest by far, she had her long hair pulled into a high ponytail, whisker marks and blue eyes.

"Naru? Naru! Naruhito Uzumaki, answer me, dattebaki!" The girl yelled, pulling him out of his daze. Naru turned his head to come face to face with a somewhat concerned face of the older girl.

"Naru? What's wrong?" She asked, placing her hand on his forehead, "You don't have a fever… Come on Naru, what's wrong?" She asked, a frown on her face.

"I-I'm sorry, b-but I'm n-not-"

"Sorry we're late! Training ran a little longer than usual." Two voices said as one as two bodies dropped through the open window. Shortly after the twins' entrance the back door clicked open and two slightly younger kids walked in, followed shortly by an exact replica of Naru, right down to the clothes. The Naru clone, most likely Naruhito, stopped short when he saw his look alike. Everyone's conversations halted as they took notice of the extra sibling and a dangerous silence burned in the air.

"Cool! I got a twin!" Naruhito cheered and ran over to Naru, who was frozen in place.

"W-what-"

"Hey, what's your name, where ya from, why do you look like me, how'd ya get here?" Naruhito fired off.

"I don't know-"

"My names Naruhito, are you my twin? Why are you shaking, it's because Naruko-nee scared ya isn't it? Don't worry, she's not always mean." Naruhito grinned. Tears began pouring down Naru's cheeks and he crumpled on to the floor sobbing.

"I don't know!" He cried. "I was in my apartment and people were breaking in, I was hiding in my bathroom and all of a sudden I was in another room!"

"Hey! Don't cry, dattebaki!" The older girl said.

'There's only one way to deal with crying kids…'

"Minehiko, Kuugo, go make some ramen!" She ordered the two window jumpers. They stood straight and saluted her before running off into the kitchen.

"Come on, give the kid some space, no crowding." She ordered the others, before crouching down next to Naru, who was still curled up on the floor. "Ne, ne, it's okay. No need to cry." She said and scooped him up.
"My name is Naruko Uzumaki, what's yours? Can you tell me?" She asked gently.

Naru hiccuped and wiped away tears, "N-naruto U-uzum-maki." He said.

'Uzumaki? But he's not one of ours… Though, he does look like one of us.'

Shaking her head, Naruko gently rubbed Naruto's head.

"Hey, Naruto, do you like ramen?" She asked. At the mention of the food, Naruto perked up and nodded.

"Great, I hope you like miso, because that's the only stuff Minehiko and Kuugo know how to make…" Naruko trailed off.

"I don't know where I am…" Naruto said softly.

"Shh, don't worry about it, we'll take care of that." She said before standing up and taking her seat at the head of the table, Naruto in her lap.

"We'll eat first, then figure out what to do, even if we have to ask Jiji." She said while sliding her plate over.

"Ramen's ready~" Minehiko and Kuugo sang and the ramen was set down.

"Okay, listen up everybody! Naruto here is gonna be our guest for a while so we can figure out where he's from. Treat him nicely, okay?" She asked.

"Hai, Onee-sama!" Everyone, with the exception of the baby, said.


~October 9th, Age 6, Alterverse~

"So Naruto, do you know which village you're from?" Naruko asked. After breakfast eleven of the fourteen children had relocated to the living room and was listening intently to Naruto's responses, while the baby, Uzuki, and the youngest set of twins, Yuzuru and Fukuyo, went down for naps, as breakfast had lasted about two hours..

"I'm from Konoha and I'm gonna be the next Hokage, dattebayo!" He announced proudly.

"I see. Do you know what your parents names are?" She questioned.

Naruto's cheerful demeanor quickly disappeared as he replied, "I don't have any parents." Everyone nodded in understanding.

"It's okay, our mama and papa are gone, too." Senta said in a quiet voice, the others nodding in agreement.

"You don't even know their names?" Naruko asked gently, to which Naruto shook his head.

"That's too bad. So tell me again what was happening when-"

"Nee-san." The red haired girl with a blue and a purple eye interrupted, her voice even and out of place on such a young body.

"Ah, yes Ayae-chan?" Naruko asked, turning her head to the girl.

"His chakra feels like dad's did, and how yours does now, like Kurama-sama." She said as she closed her blue eye and her purple one began to glow.

"Like Kura-chan?" She asked, somewhat perplexed.

'Is he also a Jinchuuriki?'

"Does it bother no one that he looks and sounds exactly like Naruhito, bajo? I mean, his name is also really similar, bajo!" Isao, one of the triplets, said, a suspicious look on his face.

"Isa, don't be mean. He's scared." Erena, Isao's sister triplet, reprimanded softly.

"Sorry Rena, Isa's right, it's weird." Takahiko, the final triplet stated, pushing up his black framed glasses.

"Taka!" Erena growled in warning.

"It is a little strange. And the fact that he has Jinchuuriki chakra doesn't help… I going to ask for a second opinion." Naruko said as she got into a meditative position.

"What's she doing?" Naruto asked, only to be shushed.


~Mindscape~

"So, got anything for me Kura-chan?" Naruko asked the massive fox as he lounged on the grassy hill with is his cage.

"How many times have I told you to stop calling me that?" The fox replied without heat.

"How many times have I ignored your demand?" She responded dryly, to which the fox sighed.

"He is Naruhito's Another, now leave me to my rest." Kurama said and rolled over with a huff. Naruko rolled her eyes.

"And what does that mean?"

"He is your brother, Naruhito, from another dimension, a place very similar to this realm but different, a place where events happened differently, where some people were never born and others never died. Is that all, kit?" He replied lazily.

"Damn you've gotten lazy…" She sighed.

"Watch it! I'm still the Mighty Kurama!" The fox bellowed theatrically.

"Yeah, yeah… See ya." She said and left her mindscape.


~Alterverse~

"Naruto, can you tell me what was happening when you appeared in Naruhito's room?" Naruko questioned and sat up.

"Ah! Well, for some reason, every year on my birthday some villagers get together and trash my apartment…" A collective gasp, quickly followed by sounds of anger filled the room.

"What in the actually hell? You're only what? Five? Six? Why would people want to gang up on a little kid for?!" Minehiko and Kuugo shouted.

"Minehiko! Kuugo! Watch your mouths." Naruko snapped and glared at them, but it was less of her anger at them and more at the people who would dare attack a child.

"What happened next, Naruto?" She prompted.

"So I hid in the bathroom, because they were breaking in, dattebayo! And I heard one of them say they were gonna look in the bathroom and the next thing I know I was in Naruhito's room…" Naruto finished.

"Did you touch anything when you were hiding?" Naruko asked. Naruto hummed in thought before nodding his head.

"Yeah, the mirror." He said.

"I see." Naruko nodded and then stood, Naruto in her arms and commanded, "To Naruhito's room!"

"Hai!" And so they marched to said room, Naruko in the lead.

"Do you remember where you were when you got here?" She asked as she set him down. Naruto nodded and pointed at the area in front of Naruhito's full length body mirror. As Naruto looked more closely, he realized that it looked exactly like his own mirror in his bathroom, minus the crack, and told Naruko this.

"Hmm, why don't you try touching it?" She suggested, a brow raised. Naruto did as told and at first nothing happened. But then the room filled with a strange white light and Naruto disappeared into the mirror completely.

"Aww man! I wanted to keep him!" Naruhito whined as the others stared in shock.
