Naruto gave a comforting smile to the blue haired girl as they walked back to portal. She gave a small smile,not noticing Naruto looked back to see Toneri had stopped walking. On instinct,he pushed her into the portal as he was pulled towards Toneri.
Toneri had a tight grip on Naruto's wrist as he held his hand in the air. He raised his other hand,holding a green orb and said,"If she can't stay up here,I'll take something of hers from down there."
Naruto's eyes widened as Toneri slammed the orb into his chest. His bright blue eyes dulled as the last thing her heard was,"Naruto-kun!" before he passed out."
.
"Hinata!"
Naruto jolted up from his sleep,covered in sweat and his arm reaching out. Over his panting,he heard a small,"Kaa-Chan?" that made him turn his head. At the side of his bed was,now 4 years old,Tatsumi. Other then his hair style that had taken after Toneri's and his blue eyes that are brighter then Naruto's original color,he looked like a Mini Naruto with a small Ahoge on the top of his head. Naruto gave him a pat on his head then gave him a smile,making Tatsumi smile."Tou-Chan asked me to get you cause the puppets finished making breakfast."
Naruto gave him a nodded and got out of bed,revealing his orange tank top and black shorts he wore as pajamas,then walked to the dinning room,with Tatsumi holding his hand."Do you think Tou-Chan is gonna let us sit on the moon and look at the Earth today?" Naruto smiled and gave Tatsumi a 'Maybe' look,making Tatsumi smile.
.
As Naruto opened the door,Tatsumi ran over to Toneri."I got Kaa-Chan up,just like you asked." Toneri smiled and pat his head,saying,"Thank you,Tatsumi. You're such a big help." which cause Tatsumi to smile and blush a little.
After taking their seats,the puppets brought out the food. Toneri chuckled as Tatsumi started stuffing his face."Making such a mess." Tatsumi started blushing as Naruto cleaned him up."Kaa-Chaaaan! I can clean myself,Dattebana!" Naruto gave an apologetic look on his face as Toneri gave a bright smile,so thankful that those two were with him.
.
Naruto,now changed into his Otsutsuki clan robes,stripped Tatsumi of his kimono pajamas and put him into his Otsutsuki clan robes. While slipping on Tatsumi's blue top,Tatsumi couldn't stay still because of his excitement. Swaying back and forth,Tatsumi spoke in a singsongy voice,"We're gonna go look at the Earth. We're gonna go look at the Earth." Naruto smiled as he tied the knot for his yellow throwover over his shoulder.
As he reached for Tatsumi's shoes,Tatsumi ran for the door."To the top of the moon,Ttbana!" Naruto quickly grabbed Tatsumi and held up his shows,making Tatsumi pout."Why do we have to wear shoes? You said on Earth,people don't wear shoes when they're in their houses and we're always in our house." Naruto went to respond,but turned his head with an 'Um' look on his face. He placed Tatsumi,and his shoes,on the bed then held up a board that said,"That may be true,but we're not staying in the castle,now are we?"
Tatsumi crossed his arm and puffed out his cheeks,causing Naruto to chuckle as he put Tatsumi's shoes on.
.
"What are those white things called again?"Naruto wrote "Clouds" in the dirt."What do they do?" Naruto smiled and continued,"Well,they make shade on a hot day or take the water in the air and make rain. Or snow when it's really cold." Tatsumi gave a big smile."Clouds sound really cool." Naruto smiled then looked down with a sad face. His head lifted up to see Tatsumi pointing at the Earth."Look! That's the part of the Earth you're from. I wonder what it's like right now."
Naruto clinched his fists as he started thinking of his friends. What were they doing? Are they looking for a way to bring him home? Did they even miss him?
He was brought out of his thoughts when heard "Kaa-Chan?" and saw a sad look on Tatsumi's face. He gave a smile and waved his hand,to say 'It's nothing.'. Tatsumi gave a worried look as Naruto got up and motioned towards the lift with the puppet. Tatsumi nodded and held his hand as they walked over.
.
Naruto had just closed the door after laying Tatsumi down for his nap as Toneri walked up."Did he have fun?" Naruto nodded then held up a board,"He really likes the clouds." Toneri gave a small smile."I guess I should find a way to make the clouds down in the village appear again. It would make a nice late birthday present." Naruto smiled,then quickly dropped it. "What's the matter?" Naruto lifted up another board,"Can I please be able to talk again?"
Toneri turned away."You know why you can't. It's for Tatsumi's wellbeing." Naruto let out a slight growl as Toneri turned around to see another board."It's not fair to Tatsumi!" Toneri let out a sigh as he turned his head."I don't want you slipping out the truth,it would shatter his mind and heart. You already taught him about the Earth against my wishes." Naruto,now pissed,held up another sign,"The Earth is a part of Tatsumi! He's has every right to learn about it!"
Naruto felt his body tense up as Toneri lifted up his hand. His eyes became duller as Toneri spoke,"Silence. I don't want Tatsumi knowing the truth,and you're not regaining your ability to speak. You will forget this conversation ever happened." He caught Naruto as he passed out. Sitting down on the ground,Toneri gently pulled Naruto closer and began stroking his hair."I'm sorry..."
.
Naruto turned away in a pout,making Toneri laugh."Aw. Don't be mad at me." Naruto stuck his tongue out in response,making Toneri laugh more. Tatsumi swayed his legs as he watched his parents. He had gotten Toneri to let him walk around barefoot and his parents were playing with each other. He knew today was gonna be a good day.
He jumped down from his chair."I'm gonna go potty." Toneri nodded,"And I'm gonna make your Okasan smile." Tatsumi gave a big smile then left. Once he finished and cleaned himself,he left the restroom,walked past the room Toneri and Naruto were in,then entered Toneri's study. After quietly closing the door,Tatsumi turned to the giant paintings on the wall. He looked at the ones on the side,that were of women he thought were old family members,then looked at the one in the middle.
It was of Naruto,though he looked different in the painting to Tatsumi."He always looks so sad." He could have sworn that he saw the painting cry once."I guess it's because of how bad they treated him on Earth,like Tou-Chan said." He gave the painting one last look then left the study and headed back to the room. He opened the door to see Toneri tickling Naruto,who was squirming to get free but failing horribly at it.
Tatsumi gave a bright smile as he thought to himself,"At least Kaa-Chan's happy up here." Then he chuckled and ran over."Tickle Kaa-Chan,Ttbana!"
.
Toneri finished tucking Tatsumi in as he asked,"What are we gonna do for Kaa-Chan's birthday?" Toneri went into thought as Tatsumi said,"Kaa-Chan said that on Earth,they have cake,give gifts,and a 'arty." Toneri smiled and asked,"Well,how about we do that?" Tatsumi's eyes sparkled at the idea,causing Toneri to chuckle,"Alright then. Cake,gifts,and a 'arty' it is. But it'll have to wait till after you trained your eyes for the day." Tatsumi let out cheer,causing Toneri to get to lay back down."What gift are we gonna get Kaa-Chan?"
Toneri fixed his blankets and said,"Leave that to me." then gave him a kiss on the head."Now go to sleep." Tatsumi,with one last smile,closed his eyes and dozed off as Toneri quietly closed the door.
.
Toneri finished changing into his pajamas as walked over to an already asleep Naruto. Naruto would twitch here and there as Toneri watched him. Toneri then lifted up his hand and said,"What are you dreaming about tonight?" as another orb appeared. In the orb,Toneri saw images of the Hidden Leaf,where Naruto grew up,and images of Naruto's friends flash by. He saw Naruto having lunch with a pink haired women and a pale skinned man before the women lifted up her fist at Naruto while he frantically waved his hands around in fear. Then,he saw Naruto and a man,who had a lazy look to him,laughing together. Next,he saw with a black haired man,who bore the Rinnegan eye,as the man smiled and said something that made Naruto point at him and yell. Finally,he saw Hinata with bright red face as she saw Naruto with his short hair for the first time,causing Naruto to check if she had a fever.
The orb disappeared as Toneri lowered his hand to see Naruto with a peaceful smile on his face. "Very well then."
