Chapter 2 Returning Home

It's been three years since they both left home, three years since he last saw his family and three years to help him mature.

"I'm glad we're coming back home, I know for a fact it's been boring and bothersome to be doing all of those missions." Yawned out a girl with raven black hair and gold eyes. She was standing at 5'5 maybe 100 pounds give or take, she was wearing a green Chunin vest over a blue long sleeve shirt with hidden armor stitched in between the fabrics. Her long hair now being held in a high ponytail, her blue Anbu style tucked into her black Kunoichi heels, she had a white sash around her waist with the kanji for fire on it. A black quiver was strapped to her back while a necklace hung from her neck with a ring connected to it, the ring itself was simple yet elegant, the ring was pure black with red, yellow and black diamonds on it, a red Uzumaki swirl and a gold Nara symbol could be seen on the side of the ring.

"You always say that Mikumi." Said the male teen walking next to her. Standing at 5'11 with bright yellow and red hair that looked like untamed Fire with matching crimson red eyes stood Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, the middle child of the the fourth Hokage and the Red headed demon. A black long sleeve shirt could be seen under his Chunin vest with a pure black katana strapped to his back, his black Anbu style pants tucked into his steel toed combat boots, a black chain could be seen hanging from his neck with a black ring connected to it, a red Uzumaki swirl could be seen adorning one side of the ring with a gold Nara symbol adorning the other side. A white sash with the kanji for fire could be seen attached around his waist as he stretched his arms above his head.

"So should we hide the rings?" Asked Mikumi as she gently played with her ring and smiled at it warmly. It meant a lot to her and it was something that she knew wouldn't ever regret he was perfect for her and she was perfect for him.

"Yea I think we should until we can our families about our decision, and besides I don't want my kaa-chan to kill me just get for not inviting her to our wedding." Naruto says smiling at his wife while holding her hand gently.

"My Family didn't know about it either Naru-kun, and I have to agree your mother would definitely kill us and I think my mother would beat you with a frying pan." Mikumi giggled while laying her head on Naruto's shoulder.

During his time as a Guardian Naruto had a lot of time to think about how he treated his family and sent them a letter apologizing for their last interaction. He knew it wasn't only their fault and he was to blame as well, he could have spoken up and asked if he could come around plus it didn't hurt that Mikimu had beaten him with a frying pan saying that he was acting like a spoiled brat who didn't get his way.

He had sent letters to his mother the most since she felt the most guilt for failing as a mother, she had profusely apologized to him begging for his forgiveness and asking for a second chance. He had told her multiple times that he had forgiven her and that he was to blame for acting like a 'spoiled brat' Mikumi's words not his.

"...nutes away Naru-kun". He heard pulling him out of his thoughts.

"I'm sorry Hime what was that?" He asked in embarrassment.

"*sigh* I said we're ten minutes away, you bothersome blonde." She said with a smile on her face as she lets out a yawn.

"I'm part blonde my Shadow Princess." He teases out while kissing the top of her head and a gentle manner. "So should we run on ahead or do you wanna continue walking?"

"Hmm how about if you give me a piggyback ride and I sleep?" She smiled seeing him roll his eyes knowing he'd give in for his princess.

"Fine get on Hime." Naruto says as he stopped and got lowered down enough for Mikumi to get on. He could feel her smug smile knowing she could get in a ten minute nap from being carried.

Ten minutes passed quickly and Naruto starting nudging Mikumi awake. "Hey Hime it's time to wake up." Naruto whispered in her ear smiling as he heard her mumbling 'ten more minutes'. He smiled warmly at her as his prankster side got the best of him and dropped her on the ground as she woke up glaring at him.

"I'm going g to get you back you blonde prick." She said glaring at him for interrupting her nap.

"Yea, yea whatever you say Hime." He smiled and helped her up.

"You know we're gonna have to keep our rings hidden not only from our family but from our friends too." She said as they signed in with the eternal gate Guards Kōsetsu and Izumo.

"Yea it's gonna be hard to since knowing Ino she's going to want to drag me and the other girls to the hot spring since we came back." She groaned out. She loved her childhood friend but sometimes Ino could be to much to handle for any person.

"Don't worry you'll figure it out." He replied cheekily, "So are you going to see your father first?"

HOKAGE TOWER

(Ten minutes ago)

Minato Namikaze also known as the Yellow Flash was sitting at his desk filling out his paperwork, today was the day his son Naruto was supposed to return and he couldn't wait to see him.

"How much has he changed? Did he get taller? Had he gotten stronger?" Where the thoughts going through his head while he set his pen down and standing up.

He looked up and a woman in her mid thirties walked in her glowing red hair and violet eyes would stun anyone, her Jōnin vest covered her crimson red long sleeve shirt and her black Anbu pants were tucked into her Kunoichi sandals.

"When will he be here Mina-kun." Asked the red haired woman.

"He'll be here in ten minutes Kushi-chan." He said smiling at her.

"It's been three years since we last saw our son and so much has happened." She said smiling.

"Did my little Naru-chan her taller? Was he eating healthy? Did he talk back to the Daimyō? Does he have a girlfriend?" Kushina thought to herself. The last one was what she wanted to know the most since she knew Arashi had gotten married to Hana Inuzuka about two years ago.

"Let's go Mina-kun I wanna see our son." Kushina practically beamed as she jumped out the window not being able to contain her excitement.

As both Minato and Kushina were walking towards the Village gate they were were waving back to civilian and Shinobi alike, they noticed a familiar set of red and yellow hair that seemed to be untamed and flow like fire.

"NARU-CHAN!" Kushina yelled out as she tackled her son.

WITH NARUTO AND MIKUMI

"Are you going to see your father first?" Mikumi asked her husband.

"NARU-CHAN!" Could he heard throughout the village as a red missile tackled the young man to the floor.

"Hi Kaa-chan." Naruto said warmly as he returned his mother's hug, he could hear his mother softly crying into his vest as she held onto him like her life depended on it.

"Kushi-chan you should let our son get up." Minato chuckled out seeing his wife tackle his young son.

Mikumi smiles at the warm scene before her and smiled warmly, "Hey Naru-kun I'll see you tomorrow at our old training ground so we can train together." She said smiling at him and shushined away.

"So Kaa-chan any chance of you letting me stand up?" He smiled at the red headed woman in top of him crying.

The red headed woman just held on to her baby boy who she missed so much, "I-I-I mi-missed y-yo-you Nar-Naru-chan." Kushina cried out as she buried her face deeper into his vest.

Naruto looked at his mom and couldn't help but smile warmly at her and shushed himself so they'd be standing up. "I missed you to Kaa-chan, I missed all of you a lot and I hope all of you can forgive me for my actions before I left." He whispered as he rubbed her back.

The civilians and ninja who were passing by couldn't help but smile warmly at the mother and son duo many of them knew what happened when Naruto left and how much it broke Kushina, they had remembered how close they were and noticed them slowly drifting apart. But to see them so close again brought a smile to their faces knowing the mother and son duo had mended the fence.

"You must be hungry Naruto, how about we treat you to dinner and we can catch up, I'll even bring your sisters and brother along too." Minato smiled warmly knowing Kushina needed this the most since she was suffered the most and was depressed for almost two years until they had gotten Naruto's first letter via a lion summon. When they read the letter they were shocked that Naruto was apologizing to them and they immediately wrote back saying they were the one at fault and he shouldn't be the one to apologize that they should be apologizing to him.

"I'd love that Tou-san, Kaa-chan and I will meet you at Ichiraku's." He said smiling at him as he watches him disappear in a yellow flash.

"Let's head out Kaa-chan." Naruto said with a warm smile on his face as he shunshined them to Ichiraku Ramen stand.

ICHIRAKU RAMEN

Arriving in a swirl a leaves Naruto and Kushina day down and that's when it happened.

"How tall are you, Have you been eating healthy, How was your training, Did you get enough sleep, where you sleeping on your back or stomach, do you have a girlfriend?" Kushina bombarded him with question after question.

"You know Kara-chan you should really slow down when you're talking that was one giant run on sentence." Naruto chuckled out while his mom flared at him.

"Naru-chan you will answer these questions right now." Kushina said giving him a smile that screamed danger as her hair started moving on her own in the form of nine tails.

"Well it wouldn't be fair for the other four now would it Kaa-chan?" He teases out loud making her pout.

"Fine we'll wait for them." Kushina pouted.

Just as Naruto was about to open his mouth he felt two bodies jump on his back.

"NARUTO-NIISAN!" The voices shouted out together making Naruto's face hit the counter.

"Oow." Naruto said with a dead panned look while his sisters give him their signature foxy smile.

"Wow you got taller Nii-San, I remember we were taller than you before you left now you're taller than us." Narumi pouted.

"It's not fair I mean what's next Mikumi is gonna be taller than us too?" Mito pouted next.

"Is that little Naruto?" Came a feminine voice making Naruto turn around seeing his older brother and his wife walk towards them.

"You're Kiba's sister Hana right?" He asked hoping he got it right.

"That's right pup." She said smiling at him.

"So you two got married? So who asked who!"

"Hanaforcedmetotakeheroutonadate." Arashi mumbled out loud as Minato sat next to Naruto.

"I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that." Naruto replied with a smug smile knowing exactly what his brother had just said.

"Hana forced me to take her out on a date." Arashi sweat dropped, while everyone started laughing.

NARA COMPOUND

After Mikumi had left her husband to spend time with her family she shunshined in front of the Nara compound making her smile warmly knowing she missed her own home. She made her way through the compound towards her home, as soon as she saw the door she could her her mother yelling "SHIKAMARU WAKE YOUR LAZY ASS UP!" Yelled out Yoshino, oh how she missed her home.

Walking up to the door she opened it and took off her Kunoichi heels, "Kara-chan, Tou-san, Shika I'm home." Mikumi Yelled out as she made her way to the kitchen as she heard a pan drop to the floor.

"Miku-chan is that you?" Yoshino asked with tears in her eyes. She knew her daughter was coming home today but didn't know when since she wanted to surprise them.

"Hai Kaa-chan."

"Troublesome, you're back." Shikamaru yawned out with a small smile on his face since he missed his younger sister.

"Missed you too bothersome Nii-San." She smiles as she sat at the table laying her head down and falling asleep. She was glad that she and Naruto had decided to hide their wedding rings since they were trying to figure out how to tell their families that they were married to one another.

"So how was being a Guardian?" Shikamaru asked while laying his head down on the kitchen table.

"It was bothersome, but Naruto made it enjoyable ." She muttered out while closing her eyes to catch a nap.

Yoshino looked at her daughter and couldn't help but smile warmly at her, she walked up behind her and kissed her head letting her children nap. She walked out of the kitchen and turned the lights off and headed upstairs to wake her husband up to let him know their daughter was finally home.

That concludes chapter 2 of The Overlooked Namikaze.

Chapter 3 will be about Naruto and Mikumi spending time together in the village with their friends.

Mikumi will be dragged to have a girls day at the hot springs and be forced to go shopping, while the guys drag Naruto to go train then hit the hot springs to relax.

I'm thinking of having Mikumi be a master Archer since it's a different skill and not many Naruto fanfics have Archers in it.

If you're all wondering yes Mikumi is also a Lion Summoner, I'll explain how it happened in chapter 3.

Hope you all enjoyed this chapter tell me what you think.
