'Thinking'

'Demon/Summoning thinking/ Inner Sakura'

Oct 10

It was Naruto's birthday and for time in his short life that he was having a birthday party.

Naruto literally jumped out of bed and ran to take a shower.

'Hey Furball you awake?'

'Yeah I'm awake Kit. you excited about today?'

'Yes I am I get see my friends including the people who trained me.'

'I like your Hokage and Iruka too.'

'What about Gai-sensei?'

'To be honest I can't figure out what you like about him, I mean he is as mature as a 5 year

ol... ok now I understand he is an adult but he thinks a the same level as your age range

so he can understands you.'

'Yep.'

Naruto got out of the shower and dried off, then went to get dressed.

'You better get dressed fast Kakashi said he'd be here about now."

'Crud Kakashi's chakra signature is now on my floor and there is a woman's signature with him.

they'll be here any minute.'

-------^(^------

Kakashi walked with his wife Anko up to Naruto's apartment. Kakashi was about to knock on the

door when suddenly the door swung open. Naruto stood in just his anbu style pants.

"Please come in and make yourself comfortable while I finish getting dressed."

Naruto ran back to his bed room.

"Ok. And Naruto this is my wife Anko."

Naruto came out of his bed room wearing his forehead protector and a white kimono style shirt

which he was tucking, with a free hand he reached out to shake Anko's hand.

"It's a pleasure to meet you ms Hatake."

"I prefer my friends to just call me Anko, ok."

"Ok Anko."

Naruto then sat down next to the door and put on his sandals. While looking around the apartment Anko asked. "So you excited about having your first birthday party?"

"Absolutely!!! I mean, I've heard stories about how great they are, but I've never had 1 myself."

Kakashi and Anko shared a sad look to each other then nodded.

Naruto stood up and grabbed his coat. "Lets go."

As soon as they were outside and the door was locked Anko got a sly grin on her face.

"Hey Naruto, Kakashi race you to training ground 7!!!"

Naruto grinned. "Ok, but anything goes."

"I like how you think kid."

Training Ground 7

Naruto appeared in the clearing a half second after Anko and Kakashi.

"Dang it, you beat me."

Kakashi looked at is student.

'This 6 year old kid managed to keep pace with 2 adult jonin, amazing!'

"Hey kid it's customary for the birthday boy to greet his guests." Kakashi said as he gestured

towards the clearing, where the Hokage, Iruka, Gai and his team along with the other 2 teams that

had passed this year. Naruto started to charge foreword to give the Hokage a hug but stopped when he noticed 2 people missing, and he didn't sense them nearby.

"Where is Sakura and Sasuke???"

Anko answered. "They went to get your cake."

"What's cake?"

As the group of 'Guests' moved closer to Naruto, Kiba heard the question and busted out laughing.

"The genius who graduated the same day he entered the academy doesn't know what cake is."

Kiba almost immediately got smacked by Hinata.

"Be nice to Naruto, he's a sweet kid who has led a life so that none of us can imagine."

"Ow Dammit that hurt! I'm sorry Naruto I should have been more, more... well nicer."

"It's all good. But can someone tell me what a cake is."

At that every body broke out laughing.

------^(^------

After a couple minutes Sasuke and Sakura arrived with the cake, and Naruto learned exactly what

cake is. After the cake was gone everybody started playing games like hide & seek and tag (ninja

style of course.). About dusk everybody stopped so that Naruto could open his presents.

From the Hokage: Armor that could be worn under clothing.

From Sasuke: A pair of anbu style forearm guards.

From Gai: A pair of adjustable leg weights.

From Hinata: A ring with the kanji for friends on it.

From Shikamaru: A chess board.

From Shino: A pair of sun glasses like his own.

From Sakura: A pair of fingerless gloves with metal plates on the back.

From Iruka: A bingo book.

From Asuma: A tanto made out of chakra conducting metal.

From Tenten: A large quantity of high quality kunai.

From Lee: A large quantity of high quality Shuriken.

From Choji: 5 all you can eat for free coupons to Choji's favorite restaurant.

From Kiba: A stuffed dog.

From Kurenai: An empty photo album.

From Neji: A Harmonica.

From Ino: A potted flower.

Kakashi and Anko said that they would give Naruto their present later.

The entire time Naruto had the feeling the that the other shoe was going to drop at any second,

and with each gift the feeling got worse. After the last gift was given Naruto disappeared

everyone had decided to give him his space.

------^(^-------

After a bit Sasuke went to go talk to Naruto. Sasuke found Naruto hiding behind a tree clutching

all his presents like he was afraid that someone would come take them away. Sasuke sat next to

Naruto, which caused Naruto to flinch.

"Let me guess why your so scared Naruto. Your not used to getting so much kindness because

you've never had a family. And your worried that this is just a trick so that we can hurt you, right?"

Naruto just nodded.

"Well Naruto I'm going to tell you something my brother told me before he went crazy. He said

whats just as important as the family your born into is is the family of friends that you make. And

you know what your my friend and that makes you my family."

Naruto detecting no fluctuation in Sasuke's chakra that indicate that he was lying so Naruto decided to ask a question.

"Really?"

"Yes Naruto."

They heard a cough behind them so they looked around the tree they were sitting against and saw

the entire party standing there smiling. Sakura said.

"I think I can speak for everybody here when I say that, we all feel that way Naruto!"

Every body nodded their heads in agreement except for Gai and lee who felt the need to do the

nice guy pose. Naruto put his Presents down then took a couple steps towards the group.

"I don't know what to say."

Anko walked forward and kneeled in front of Naruto.

"You don't need to say anything at all Naruto."

Naruto unable to control himself any longer he latched on to Anko and started sobbing.

After a while Naruto cried himself to sleep in Anko's arms.

-------^(^-------

Kakashi was running through a mental checklist.

'Ok Training ground 7 has been cleaned up. Check!

everybody else has left. Check!

Naruto's presents have been sealed into a scroll. Check!

And Naruto is still asleep in Anko-hime's arms.

Kakashi walk over to where Anko was sitting in the grass with Naruto.

"Come on Anko, lets take Naruto home."

"Ok baby."

Oct 11

Naruto awoke in a room he did not recognize, then an arm curled around him so he did the only

logical thing that came to mind. He screamed and hid under the bed. Anko who had been

woken up by the scream and explosion of movement, sat bolt up right with kunai in hand and

looked around. Until it finally dawned on her what had happened then she started laughing.

Leaning over the side of the bed so that she could see Naruto.

"You know what kid. This is not the first time a man woke next to me then screamed and hid

under the bed."

"A-anko?"

"One and only."

Naruto crawled out from under the bed, and looked around the room.

"I guessing this is your house."

Anko got it so that she was laying on her back looking at Naruto upside down.

"Correct."

"What am I doing here anko?"

"Well the answer to that, is that me and Kakashi Adopted you Naruto."

Well that was Chapter 2
