Minato opened the door and stuck his head in and peeked around the living room before opening the door all the way. "Honey, where are you?" Minato said walking in waving Naruto and Jiraiya in after him. "Kushina!"
"Hey hot stuff! In the kitchen." Kushina's voice yelled out. Minato held a hand out to the couch and went back to talk with her. Jiraiya sat down on the couch and Naruto went and sat at the opposite end and looked around silently. Minato slid into the kitchen catching Kushina before she walked out with a plate of food. "What's up?"
"We need to have a quick talk about that vial we got this morning." Minato said and moved her farther into the kitchen and began whispering. "Jiraiya, Tsunade and I dumped it into the river and a boy came out of it."
"A boy? Who is he?"
"That's the thing, Kushina. He has he paperwork, he's a ninja of this village." Minato said pulling it out. He opened it up and showed it to her. "It's dated nearly 16 years from now. He's our son, he came from the future, he has no knowledge of us."
"What?" She said reading over the paper. "Naruto Uzumaki… Genin, 15 years old, Parents: unknown presumed dead? Minato, are you saying…" Kushina dropped the plate on the floor and Minato caught her.
As the plate shattered Naruto heard it and rushed into the kitchen and looked at them, "Are you guys alright."
"He's…" Kushina's eyes went wide as she looked at him.
"Naruto, come back in here, she'll be fine." Jiraiya said grabbing him and walking him back to the couch. "You just don't run around people's houses, even if…"
"If I wasn't here you'd do the same thing, Jiraiya." Naruto said out flatly. "So don't yell at me about it, alright?"
"Fine, fine, kid." Jiraiya said quietly. He looked over, "Shima give you that coat? And I take it that's the scroll for toads."
"Yeah, she did, and it is. It's not as heavy as it looks, you always used to tell me that but I never believed you." Naruto said scratching his head. He turned around to see Minato leading Kushina into the living room. Kushina smiled over at him. "Lady, are you alright?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern. So, you came from the future, tell us about Konoha!" Kushina said excitedly sitting foreword in her chair as Minato sat on the edge of the arm. "It must be filled with technology and robot and things!"
"Konoha… was annihilated." Naruto said sadly, "and that's putting it nicely. When Shima summoned us to Konoha from Myobokuzan, Fukasaku start yelling at her for putting us in the middle of nowhere, then we saw the Hokage's monument… and then the rubble… and then I saw Tsunade. She was about to be killed for yelling something about how she was going to stop them. We were being attacked by corpses controlled by chakra, I destroyed the one, and then the rest… and I ended up nearly dead… and then Sakura…" Naruto put his hand over his head and began crying lightly, "she was yelling at me not to die. And then Kyuubi…"
"Kyuubi?" Minato asked and looked at him, "Was he attacking."
"No, he was trying to save me. For some reason, when I was born you picked me, over everyone else… I'm Konoha's Jinchuriki… I'm the nine tailed fox. If I die, he dies." Naruto said slowly. "Why me, what made me so different? I didn't understand until I was 12 why I was hated, why people tried to kill me, why no one would give me any attention. I thought it was because I was an orphan." Naruto said rubbing his eyes of the tears and staring up, "What would posses you to seal a new born baby with the nine tailed fox?"
"I, I'd do that, I'm going to do that… to you?" Minato asked and stood up to face the wall thinking.
"The future sounds terrible." Kushina said quietly.
"Don't feel bad, Kyuubi's saved my life more times then I can count. My injures heal in an eighth of the time of a normal person, and I learned who my friends really are." Naruto said standing up, he walked over and put a hand on Minato' shoulder. "I'm sorry if it sounded like I resented you, it's just, life's been abnormally hard growing up alone, but everyone would have died if you didn't sacrifice your life and seal Kyuubi in me."
Minato looked at him, "really? So you don't hate me?"
"Why would I hate you?" Naruto said happily, "You're my favorite Hokage! I wanted to grow up and be like you! I am somewhat!" Minato smiled, "I can do Rasengan, and Tsunade's trying to groom me to be a Hokage. Oh, and Kakashi taught me…"
"You know Kakashi?" Minato asked. "Is he all gloomy?"
"No, he's usually quite cheery, absent minded and late on all occasions, except when in action, then he's this amazing killing force!" Naruto said shaking his hands in front of him. "He taught me how to use my wind chakra. I can add it to Rasengan!"
"What?" Minato sat down on the chair and looked at him.
"I've surpassed you! I did it in one week too! It was hard and I didn't sleep at all, but I can do it. But, I do need a medical ninja of Tsunade's skill to repair me afterward; adding wind chakra to it turns it into an instant kill, slices and dices, a million fine cuts. Comes back on the user though." Naruto said. Naruto pointed to Jiraiya. "I've surpassed you too, I can gather Natural chakra while moving."
"That's impossible!" Jiraiya screamed. "You're too young to be able to do such things!"
Naruto simply smiled and looked around Minato at Kushina, "the future's not that bleak, Lady. There are a lot of good things, a lot of smiling, it's just I left at a down time. Please don't be worried about it."
"You're a good kid, what's your name again?" Kushina asked.
"Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki." He said and held out his hand. "Who are you?"
"I…" She turned to Minato and then to Jiraiya, both nodded. "I'm Kushina. Kushina Uzumaki." Naruto dropped her hand and looked at her his eyes slowy growing wide. "I'm your mother."
"You're my mom?" Naruto asked quietly. "And you're her husband, I take it?" Minato nodded and smiled. "So, you're my dad?" Minato said something simple along the lines of 'yep' but Naruto didn't hear. In his mind Naruto was shouting 'dude, the fourth is your dad.' Naruto raised a finger and pointed at Kushina, "mom, and dad." Naruto said moving it to the fourth.
"I don't think he believes us, Minato." Kushia said cheerily.
"I think it's because his headband's too tight." Jiraiya said jealously. "Some punk kid becomes better then me."
"You trained me for three years to be better then you, so don't give me that." Naruto said crossing his arms and looking around. "I have to go have a conversation with myself, Just a moment." Naruto opened the door and left the apartment and a poof could be heard. Minato went to the window and looked out to see Naruto and a clone.
"He's good with clones I take it." Minato said and walked back over. "I hope he doesn't hate me."
"He just said he didn't hate you!" She said and looked down, "I hope he doesn't hate me."
"Why would he hate you? You haven't done anything."
"Exactly!"
"What if he hates me? I did kind of say all those things." The clone asked quietly.
"He doesn't hate me; he's excited you can clearly see that." Naruto said plainly.
"What about mom, does she hate me?"
"No, I think she's thrilled. Why am I talking to you, I have parents now!"
"I do have parents now!" The clone said standing excitedly. "I'll take mom you take dad!"
"Alright!" Naruto stood up and opened the door and ran and hugged Minato while the clone went and hugged Kushina. She held him back off, "be careful, I'm three months along with you."
"Really?" The clone said and poofed as Naruto let go of Minato and looked at her. "I need to find a way home soon then."
"What, why do you need to go?" Minato asked.
Jiraiya coughed, "the boys right, he does need to go and hopefully we'll forget. He's already figured out he shouldn't influence the past. You two knowing anything about him might change major events in history."
"I may have had a bad childhood, but it made me who I am, and I really like who I am." Naruto said and looked up at them. "But for now we should celebrate, I've never had parents before!"
