(7:00 AM)
Both Naruto and Kurama woke up feeling refreshed but still hold some questions about their new surroundings.
("So this isn't a dream?")
Naruto asked the fox the was next to him.
"Apparently this is reality."
Said the fox cub.
("I feel weird")
"What kind of feeling is it?"
Kurama asked Naruto hoping that something serious isn't about to happen.
"Dunno."
Naruto said out loud.
"You can talk?!"
Kurama said surprised.
("Yeah it's weird I can talk right in my mind and you can hear me.")
Naruto explained to the fox.
"I see so it's like you're actual baby body has limited motor skills developed so your speech skills are not up to par yet."
Kurama said to the child.
("What?")
Naruto said dumbfounded.
Kurama sighed.
"You talk like a baby on the outside, but you can talk like your older self on the inside."
Naruto looked at the tailed beast dumbfounded
Kurama sighed again.
"Little Naruto outside, Big Naruto inside."
Said the fox.
"Ohh."
"You have the IQ of baby so this transition should feel natural."
Kurama said.
("Hey shut up!!")
Naruto then babbled angrily at Kurama.
"Someone seems active this morning."
Minato said as he walked into the room.
("It's my dad.")
"Daddy."
Naruto called out to his father.
"Hey my little Naru-sun."
"Ha ha ha ha ha Naru-sun.!"
Kurama roared with laughter.
"Meanie Rama!"
Naruto said to his tailed beast.
"Come on Kurry pie you're going to your litter box before we have breakfast remember when you peed on the floor yesterday."
("Ha ha ha ha ha ha!!")
Kurama growled.
Minato lowered the crib gate and Kurama jumped out the crib and he went to the kitchen.
"And we cannot forget your friend Sasuke.".
Minato picked up the black haired toddler, the child started to stir himself awake.
"Come on you two let's eat."
Minato walked to the kitchen and he placed Naruto and Sasuke next to each in their respective highchairs.
"That was fast...did you change them Minato?"
Kushina asked her husband.
"Whoops I did not...you wanna help me change them."
Minato asked hoping he didn't have to change two diapers in one sitting.
"Can't you see I'm cooking."
Kushina said.
Minato sighed and he accepted his defeat and he carried the two toddler's to the nursery.
("Hey I don't need to wear diapers at all")
Naruto said.
"You're a baby, you do need diapers."
Kurama said as he followed Minato to the nursery.
Once the father made it to the nursery he carefully place Naruto and Sasuke on the changing table.
"Let's start with you Naruto."
The blond baby blushed
Minato pulled apart the snaps that kept the bottom half of Naruto's pajamas closed and he untaped the diaper.
"Jeez Naruto you were really wet I'm glad your diaper kept everything from leaking out."
Minato said as he removed the dirty diaper from under Naruto.
"Don't worry I won't laugh."
Kurama said as he turned around and snickered
Minato then threw Naruto's wet diaper away and he sprinkled the toddler with baby powder.
"(This stuff feels nice)"
Naruto said.
Minato put his child in a new diaper and he stood Naruto on the floor.
"Okay Sasuke your next."
Minato said as he started to change the other toddler's diaper.
("You didn't see that.")
Naruto said as he blushed.
"Naruto you're a baby now I won't hold it against you...maybe."
Kurama turned around and he lightly snickered.
"(Yeah whatever you say...Kurry pie.)"
Naruto said.
Kurama sighed
"I deserved that.
"And we're all done."
Minato said as he scooped up Naruto and Sasuke carrying them both to the kitchen.
Once the blonde man made it back in the kitchen he placed the toddler's in their respective highchairs again while his wife Kushina placed two small bowls of oatmeal with scrambled eggs mixed in.
"Could you feed them, I don't want the kids to make a mess."
Kushina asked her husband.
"Of course."
Minato grabbed the two spoons that we're dipped in the oatmeal bowls and he started feeding the two children.
("Mmmm this is kinda good.")
Naruto said.
"Hey what do I eat?"
Kurama said.
"Oh I almost forgot I need to prepare a meal fit for a "All powerful tailed beast" of your caliber."
Kushina said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Finally getting some respect around here."
Kurama said.
"Kushina placed a bowl with it being labeled Kurama in front of the fox and she poured dry kibble into the bowl.
"What is this!!"
Kurama demanded.
"It's a new type of cat food, try some it's roasted rabbit flavor."
Said the red haired mother.
The fox cub was reluctant at first but he took a bite of the kibble bits and it was delicious.
"This stuff ain't half bad."
Said the tailed beast as he continued to eat his food.
Kushina smiled.
"Glad he likes it."
Minato continued to feed the kids until Sasuke turned his face away.
"You finished Sasuke?"
Minato asked.
The baby nodded.
"I'll clean him up while you finish feeding Naruto."
Kushina said.
Minato dipped the spoon into Naruto's bowl to find it empty.
"Did I feed Naruto all of his oatmeal?"
"I guess you did."
Kushina said surprised.
"Moe moe."
Said the child.
"And he's still hungry?"
Minato said.
"Give him the rest of Sasuke's."
Kushina said
Minato fed Naruto what was left of Sasuke's bowl of oatmeal.
"He ate all of Saskue's oatmeal too.'
Minato was surprised at his son's new found appetite.
"His appetite got bigger in the span of a night?"
Kushina said.
"That's weird because he use to barely eat half his food much less the whole thing."
Minato said.
"Well I'll be happy to cook more for my baby."
Kushina said happily
After breakfast Minato took the two toddlers to the living room and her put them in a playpen in the middle of living room.
"Alright you two stay here and play with your toys while I enjoy my only day off."
Minato sat on his recliner and he switched on the TV.
"Nawudo chu chu."
Naruto turned to see Sasuke holding a toy train in front of him.
"(Uhhh)"
Naruto was at a loss for words.
"What's wrong with you?"
Kurama jumped into the playpen.
"Kitty!"
Sasuke hugged one of Kurama's tails.
"Why are you acting so weird for?"
The fox cub asked
("Is this the real Sasuke..is any of this real?")
Naruto asked
"Yeah I been trying to check and see for the usual genjutsu discrepancies and there's nothing... Naruto we're stuck here all of this is real."
Said the fox.
("At least our old world is safe.")
Naruto said.
("But then is this the real Sasuke?")
Naruto askef the tailed beast
"Try talking to him."
Kurama said.
"Sake."
Naruto called out to his friend.
"Nawudo..we pway chu chu."
Asked the toddler.
"(It's working he understands me.)"
Naruto said.
"Don't stop now keep talking to him."
Kurama said.
"Sake...wad ou do?"
Naruto said unable to speak what he's thinking.
"Me ead an den me sweep an den Sake an Nawudo had ead big chocwite monstew bud Nawudo daddy ged me upsie."
Said the toddler as he was explaining his exciting dresm to Naruto.
"(That didn't help)"
Naruto said.
"I think the best course of action is to accept this new life."
Kurama curled up in the corner of the play pen.
"(Can I really accept this new life.)"
Naruto said to himself.
Sasuke looked at his friend and somehow he knew Naruto wasn't feeling right so the toddler made his way over to Naruto and hugged him.
"No cwy Nawudo."
Sasuke said as he was on the verge of tears himself.
"(Wait crap don't cry!)"
Naruto said.
"Just play with him."
Kurama suggested as he curled back up into what looked like a ball of fur.
"Pway t..t t...chu chu."
Naruto finding himself unable to say trains.
Sasuke perked up Naruto finally wanted to play with him.
"Pway pway!!"
Sasuke said as he got up and slowly made his way to where he had left his train at and he brought to where Naruto was sitting at.
Naruto grabbed the train and he started moving it along the floor.
Sasuke giggled as he went to grab another train and he started pushing his along the floor too.
Kushina walked into the living room to her husband asleep on his recliner and to see the two babies were playing with each other.
"Aww my heart cannot take this much cuteness."
Said the red haired woman as she sat down to watch the children at play.
"(Not gonna lie, this is kinda nice.)"
Naruto murmured.
"Huh?".
Kurama rose his ears up.
"(Nothing)".
Naruto squeaked as he slightly blushed.
"Whatever."
Kurama laid back down.
A few minutes later Naruto eyes started getting heavy and slowly dozing off.
"(Why am I so tired...I barely did anything today.)"
Naruto said to himself.
{Yawn}
Naruto turned to see Sasuke had laid himself on the floor and the toddler had fell asleep almost instantly.
("I refuse to sleep this early I may be a baby on the outside but I'm still me on the inside)"
Naruto declared but his efforts proved useless because he quickly fell asleep.
"Naruto."
"Naruto wake up."
The blonde toddler opened his eyes to reveal himself in a all white room.
"(Where am I?)"
Naruto shouted hysterically.
" Calm down I am here to answer some of your questions."
The voice calmly addressed the blond toddler.
Naruto looked at figure before him to reveal Hagoromo.
("Hey I remember you.")
Naruto sat himself up into a sitting position.
"Hello again Naruto how are you enjoying your rebirth so far."
Said the deitiy.
"(I don't like it! send me back!)"
Naruto demanded.
"Was it that bad."
Hagoromo asked the child in front of him he could have sworn he put Naruto in a safer world.
"(No it's everything i ever wanted but it's not my world.)"
the toddler thought to himself
"(Why am I here in this place anyways?")
Naruto asked the deitiy.
"Well think of it as a reward for sealing away my mother."
The deitiy gave Naruto a slight bow.
"(Reward?)"
Naruto quoted.
"Yes I brought you and your friend Sasuke Uchiha back alive."
Hagoromo assured to Naruto.
"(Then where is Sasuke...my Sasuke?)"
Naruto queried.
"You were playing with him just earlier...but."
The god trailed off.
"But?."
Naruto repeated.
"His way of thinking is dangerous and in order for me to give him a good life I had to the memories of his past life and I had to construct memories of the new plane of existence for him however I did leave the friendship he did have for you."
Hagoromo explained to the child.
"(That explains why Sasuke couldn't hear the inside me.")
Naruto confirmed that his theory was right Sasuke did lose his memory.
"Well if that's all you have to ask me I shall take my leave then."
Hagoromo stated.
"(Wait! I have one more question.)"
Naruto shouted.
"What is it?"
The deity asked.
"(What about everyone else back in my original world, are they here too?)"
Naruto questioned the deitiy
"The history of your original has not changed except that you and Sasuke had died fighting each other in you two's final battle...but in this world history is different...some people were born in a different generation...some just like we're reborn but not by me and other people made different decisions in life for the better to make a relatively peaceful world."
The deitiy said in a cryptic manner.
"(What does that mean?!)"
Naruto begged for a more clear answer.
"Just know in this new world you will not have to suffer as much as you did in your other world and that when something does happen it happens for a reason."
With that said Hagoromo opened a dimensional portal and he left Naruto in his lonesome.
"Time to wake up Naruto."
"Come on time for you to get up."
"It's lunch time."
Naruto opened his to see his father was carrying him.
"Hey sleepy head glad to see you awake"
Minato placed Naruto in high chair and he placed a small bowl of cut up ramen in front of the toddler.
"It's your favorite."
Minato cooed at the child.
"Wamen!!"
Naruto was about to place his hand in the bowl but the bowl was quickly pulled away from him.
"Hold on let me feed you."
Minato suggested as he got a spoonful of the cut up ramen and he held it up to Naruto.
"Have you started lunch yet?"
Kushina asked as she walked into the kitchen carrying Sasuke and and a blue diaper bag.
"Yeah...is Itachi on his way?"
Minato asked.
"Yeah he should be here..."
{Knock Knock}
"Now... he's here now."
"(ITACHI!!)"
Naruto shouted.
"(WHAT!!)"
Kurama rushed into the kitchen.
"I'll let him in he'll probably want a snack."
Kushina handed Sasuke to her husband and she went to the living room to answer the door.
A few seconds later Kushina came back into the kitchen with a young boy following behind her.
"Tachi!"
Sasuke toddled his way to his brother.
"Hi Sasuke."
Naruto and Kurama were in awe because the Itachi that stood before them was not the same adult had died in their old world but instead a five year old child.
"You two are so adorable!"
Kushina cooed at the Uchiha boys while hugging them both.
"I'm not a baby no more Ms.Uzumaki."
Itachi said as he giggled.
"Just cause you're five and you go to school now doesn't mean I still can't get hugs from you."
Kushina said.
"Yeah."
Said the the child as he picked up his little brother.
"You're parents let you walk here by yourself?"
Minato asked.
"Yes because Dad told Mom that I was really smart and strong so I can pick up Sasuke by myself now."
"Yeah you're are strangely mature for your age."
Minato said.
"Anyways we gotta go there's a new episode of Ninja man coming on soon and he's gonna fight Shark face."
Itachi said as the thought of a new episode of his favorite cartoon excited him.
"No matter how much of a prodigy he is Itachi is still just a kid."
Kushina said as she giggled.
As Itachi was just about to leave with his brother Sasuke started whining.
"No wan go!"
Said the toddler.
"What's wrong Sasuke?"
Itachi asked.
"Wan tay wi Nawudo!"
Said the younger brother.
"But, we gotta go home."
Itachi said.
"Waaaaaaaah!!"
Sasuke started crying he never liked leaving his friend.
"Don't worry we'll come back next week and you can play with Naruto again."
Itachi said to his brother.
"Gan?"
Sasuke asked.
Itachi nodded.
"And if you're good on the way home I can get you a tomato."
Itachi persuaded to his brother.
"Me goo."
Said the toddler.
"Sweet now let's hurry I don't wanna miss Ninja man."
Said the child as he started walking home.
"Such a nice boy."
Kushina said
"He wasn't truly by himself right?"
Kushina asked her husband.
"No I saw the genin ninja hiding in the trees."
Minato said.
"Good I mean he's a real smart kid...but he's still just a kid I wouldn't want him to go out by himself yet."
Kushina said her heart now at ease.
"(Is this what that guy meant when he said things are different here.")
Naruto said to himself.
"What guy?"
Kurama asked
"(It's a long story)"
Naruto said as his father resumed feeding him the cut up ramen noodles.
