Uzumaki Clan Series Book I
Okaa-san's Adventure (Revise Version)
A/N: Okay ladies and gentlemen, I've redone this story, and for those who have read it in the past. I've corrected many of my grammar errors and omitted many slips that had ruined this story in the past. Nevertheless, rest of sure you, this story is not grammar error free... not by a long shot. And I know what I said in the sequel, but I won't be updating it until I have redone this entire story. I know this may be inconvenient for readers of mines, but it's for the best of this series of Naruto fanfictions. Like I said, there will be some new developments in this revise version that has never been written in the original version of this story. Another factor is that I come across an author's block, which is why I will be updating each revised chapter weekly. And I'll do the same for Book II once I've done with this story.

Chapter 1
Four years had passed since the death of her beloved husband.
She knew today that the Kyuubi Festival, which marks the anniversary of the Yondaime Hokage's death, and love ones that perished during that fateful night. The Konoha skies today were overcast. It looked as, it was about to rain. On the outskirts of Konoha, the climate was relatively warm, compare to her former village.
Uzumaki Kushina held a picture frame of Minato the day she'd married him. Today was also the birthday of her one and only son Uzumaki Naruto.
She'd worn her black apron with an undergarment orange polo shirt. She'd worn a black hair pin just above her left ear, which pinned her gorgeous strands of red, rosy hair away from her left eye. She got two different colors to her iris. Sometimes her eyes would be blue, but switched to jade and green. In the dark, both colors would transfix that brought out the violet color in both her irises.
Kushina is a passionate woman, and a caring mother.
When she was just a child, her behavior was hysterical toward the citizens of Konoha. Boys would be ridicule about her red hair and round face calling her "tomato" which made her infuriated. She would bash boys to a bloody pulp or throw tomatoes as a prank. Over the years when she befriended Namikaze Minato, her deceased husband whom she'd met at the Academy. She regained her pure, attentive demeanor from a girl's point of view instead of her tomboyish behavior she developed. From her Academy days, she was aggressive and hyperactive among her classmates. However, a beautiful and gentle as Kushina would be. The demonic side of her still dwells. If she were angered, all hell would be unleashed on those who provoked her.
She walked in her son's room as Naruto was still asleep. He looked cute to tuck in bed. She would go along side against his bed. Then she gave him a sweet kissed on the cheek. Little Naruto laughed in his dream. She combed and traced his hair with her finger tips. In moments, Naruto had awakened and stared into those blue, green eyes of his mother.
Naruto is just a four-year-old boy who has his father looks and behaves like his mother. He's hyperactive and enthusiastic like his mother; he shares the same motor mouth like Kushina. The difference between mother and son is that Naruto would never go berserk (and bash people) other than running his mouth. However, in public he is such a shy boy whom seem too hesitant about the way he socials with his mother. People always have that lustful glare when they see him.
He slept in bunny pajamas.
"Mommy," he exclaimed.
"Sorry for waking you," she had tears poured down her cheeks.
"Mommy, why are you crying?"
"I'm so happy that you came into my life," Naruto gave Kushina a goofy smiled, "I have a present for my dear boy."
"Yay!" Naruto received his birthday present.
He had unwrapped the red wrappings from his gifts. Naruto opened a small square wooden crate. Inside it, Naruto had seen two Kunai Knifes and a small red scroll. Naruto had never seen these items before in his life, but the two similar object, he had guessed it as some sort of knives. Naruto lifted the scroll out of the crate showing it to his mother.
"What is this, Mommy?"
Kushina cupped her chin, "Honey, open it and see what's inside."
Naruto unraveled the golden string, and rolled the scroll opened. Inside the scroll was a large crest of some type. Above it, there were two words... Uzumaki Clan as he felt uncertain to what it meant. Kushina fundamentally taught her son how to read and write.
"Do you wish to become Hokage?" Naruto nods his head. "Starting from tomorrow, I will teach you the basic ways of the shinobi."
"Mommy, what's a clan?"
"Let's just say that it is a gathering of ninja in a social group like a team. In Konoha and most ninja villages shinobi clans are run by bloodline. Meaning that you must be a family member, or by birth to join that clan."
Naruto was starting to understand the concept, "Uzumaki Clan; we have a clan?" Naruto was delirious.
"Yes but, unfortunately, it was disbanded due to conflicts among other nations." Kushina was not ready to tell Naruto the "actual" story. "That scroll has the Uzumaki Crest the insignia of our clan. It is a Fuuin-jutsu that will test you if you're worthy of being an Uzumaki Clan member.
Naruto seemed surprise, "Alright!" he was hyperactive as his mother chuckled. "How does this work?" Naruto's grinned reminded her of Minato, when he always smiled.
"Tehheheh," Kushina could not stop laughing."First, you will need to learn how to mold chakra."
"Ch-cha-catchra."
Kushina sighed shaking her head. "Not catchra, ... chakra," she corrected.
Naruto wanted to cry, but Kushina carried and embraced him in her arms. Kushina just smiled down on her son. He had his father's scent that she loved to inhale every time Minato held her into those strong arms.
~~ Uchiha Estate ~~
Four hours later, little Uchiha Sasuke practiced throwing his Shuriken toward a Bonsai Tree. All Shurikens were offline missing either to the right or left of the tree. Sasuke scorned disbelieving. He fingered another Shuriken properly before drawing his hand back. Then, he flung the Shuriken with great exertion. This time, the Ninja Star braced the tree's right side. After two weeks since beginning his shinobi training, i was the first-time Sasuke had hit his target, although, he liked the Shuriken plunged into the tree directly.
"Sasuke... lunch time!"
The raven hair boy panted and slouched over trying to catch his breath. Sasuke smiled pleasantly as his training was starting to pay off.
"Hai!"
Ten minutes later, Sasuke ate Konoha's famous tofu, rice-balls, fishcakes, pork chops, etc. His mother is Uchiha Mikoto. A beautiful black-haired woman and wife to the Uchiha Police Force Commander, and leader of the notorious Uchiha Clan, which was rated to be the number one and top shinobi clan in Konaha. His name was... Uchiha Fukagu. She had another son, who is her eldest child named Uchiha Itachi.
Itachi had spent his day and nights in the Anbu Black Ops. He rarely stayed home due to countless missions that have to attend. Itachi was said to be the next successor to succeed his father as the next Uchiha Clan leader. Nevertheless, on this day, Itachi returned home to retire in his room as he slides the front door opened. He entered the kitchen area where Sasuke, and Mikoto were consuming their lunch.
"Okaa-san, nii-chan," he bowed.
"Nii-san—"
"Sasuke, how many times did I tell you not to speak when you have food in your mouth?" Mikoto scolded him. But she never yelled at any of her sons.
He gulped, "My apologies," he bowed respectfully. "Nii-san, how was your mission?"
Itachi took a sip from a glass cup of ice water that his mother gave him when entering the kitchen, "It was boring," Itachi walked away from them.
"Itachi... lunch anytime when you're ready," said Mikoto.
"Arigato."
Itachi passed by and walked straight to his room. He never wanted to show them his weariness because that will make his reputation among the Uchiha awful. He wanted to rest for tonight's festival. Itachi looked forward to seeing the Kyuubi's container for the exact first time in his life.
"Okaa-san, why does nii-san act strange all the time?"
Mikoto cannot help but chuckled, "He may not look like it, but he is just as tire as you when he completes his missions," mother and son laughed quietly not to drawn draw noise to Itachi. "You'll need to rest up too because tonight we will go to the festival."
Sasuke frowned.
"Ahh Kaa-san, 'do I have to come'?"
"Yes, because there is a very longtime friend of mines that I want you to meet, and she has a son your age."
"O-okay," Sasuke sighed, but he was not happy about it.
~~ Uzumaki House ~~
The time was five o'clock in the evening. Kushina dressed in a woman's scarlet outing kimino; the kimono had black-and-white snow flaked patterns the size of a baseball.
Naruto wore an orange outing kimono with black leaf patterns the actual leaf size. Naruto climbed onto his mother's back crossing his arm above her chest. He held on tight trying not to fall off.
"You're ready?" He nodded. "Here we go," she weaved multiple hand seals vanishing into a puffed of cloud.
Next thing that happened, they arrived at the front gate of Konoha. Naruto always wondered how did men built a gate that was just high as his house in the woods. As they enter the gate, Kushina checked with the gate guard. The guard was a Chuunin, who never looked down upon Naruto liked so many villagers. They waved their hands greeting Naruto, but he felt nervous about people because how the way they stare at him.
Kushina held her son's hand strolled through the alley. Immediately, she could hear people muttered like a pack of entity ghostly shades. Naruto saw dark clouds of madness in the villagers' eyes as he looked down to his feet ignoring them. Kushina had seen her son trembling with fear.
The sunset was just above the horizon over the Hokage Monument. The sky scorched flaming orange. Konoha gusts were blowing out from the gate to in. Which meant that the Uzumaki had the wind to their backs. It was comfortable as the wind blew the remnants of the heat wave of the sun. Shadowy soared above them as he looked up. Hundreds of birds bunched together closer than he ever seen in his life. Perhaps, he had never seen many birds in his life. But he could not the onslaught of demonic glares from the villagers who still had their vicious, blood lust, murdering eyes on the blond toddler as the Uzumaki family enters the village.
"Don't worry, I will be here for you always."
Naruto swallowed hard on his saliva as he gave his Mom another nod frightened to speak. She heard people mumbling, "Why is he here?" This never seemed to irritate Kushina as she heard people said, "He does not belong here," trying to keep their voices down. She heard a commotion, "Out of all the days. It had to be on 'this particular occasion'." Kushina heard another commotion that nearly erupted from her viciously, "Who the hell does that 'whore' thinks she's doing here with that thing?" However, she could not restrain herself when suddenly, "The hell with that 'demon child'!"
Crimson charka enveloped Kushina's entire body. Within seconds, Kushina extended her arm length in the form of crimson chakra that shoved a guy, who was standing five paces away from her into a hay stack. A stunning, shock liked hell villagers glanced into those crimson eyes of Kushina bagged for mercy.
"Another word of agony comes out of the next persons mouth will be the last!"
"Or I will see fit that my husband will have all of you prosecuted," a familiar voice reached out behind Kushina.
People swallowed their pride in the presence of an Uchiha woman whose husband was the Commander of the Uchiha Police Force. They had gone about their daily lives. Naruto had his eyes closed the entire time when his mother was going ballistic on the village people. Naruto though that his mother was worse than all these people when she was extremely furious.
Kushina turned around to confront the woman. It happens to be Mikoto and her two sons. Itachi was perhaps his mother's height. Both Itachi and Mikoto wore the same black outing kimono except for being a male and female kimono. Sasuke wore a light-blue outing kimono.
"Two years have it been?"
"It seems so," Mikoto had observed the little blond toddler, "Oh my... he's grown," she crouched down and kissed Naruto on the forehead that made him blushed.
"Look how tall he is!" Kushina exclaimed. "You've grown into a man."
"Thank you Kushina-sama," Itachi greeted her by kissing her hand. "He's yours?" Kushina nodded, as he crouched down to rubbed Naruto's cranium, "Hello, my name is Itachi, what yours?"
"N-Naruto," he felt shy around strangers because he only socials with his mother.
"O-oh how cute he is," Kushina crouched down beside Sasuke and kissed him on the forehead. Sasuke like Naruto blushed from another beautiful woman besides his mother kissing him. "The first time I saw you just before I gave birth." Mikoto and Itachi both felt sorrow just to remember that fateful night. "And you know what? It happened to be on this day."
Itachi walked to his mothers side, and Kushina walked behind a shy Naruto. Both their mothers slightly pushed Naruto and Sasuke closer. Naruto felt shy, but Sasuke felt like shit. Who the hell does this kid think he is? Sasuke felt jealous because he never received special treatment from his nii-san like Naruto.
"Go on," both their mothers said.
"The name is Uzumaki Naruto." Nauto reached out to shake his hand.
Sasuke wanted to punch the brat, but this will only make his Mama terribly upset about it. So he will have to go play along with it and make believed he was on polite terms with the brat.
"The name's Uchiha Sasuke."
Sasuke connected hands with Naruto as he dished out a sadistic smiled. Naruto felt so calmed that he has a friend to play with... that was what he thought.
