------------------------
*small recap: Last time Fate and his family have arrived in the leaf village and are heading for the Hokage's office. On the way Naruto discovers the lech Jiraiya staring at his mothers backside and he gets caught. In truth he was sent to retrieve Dr. Fate and his family and escort them to see Saratobi himself. Upon arriving at the office of the Hokage, Hiashi Hyuga and his young daughter Hinata are in the office as well. After Jiraiya leaves to go drink himself silly, Saratobi escorts his guests to another room where there were many toys for the children to play with. Inza being skeptical of the reasons they were invited knows something is wrong about the Hokage wanting to talk to all of them when in fact he only wanted to talk to Fate about an important matter. So Inza and the kids were to be escorted by Kakashi and take a tour of the village. But before the tour could start both Naruto and HInata are taken by none other than Danzo. While Kakashi began the search for the children Inza went back to inform her husband and Hinata's father of what happened. Needless to say that they were not happy to hear that their children were taken. Both Fate and Hiashi both left to find their children with the use of tracker crystals that Saratobi gave them, and the search was on. While they were searching for Danzo and the kids, Danzo sent out members of his Anbu ROOT to search for the kids as well. Now lets join Naruto and Hinata in the training field as they search for a way back to their parents and on the way Naruto will tell Hinata how he got them out in the first place.
Title: AMiracle, A Curse and A Mother's wrath
"Oh man now I know why your not supposed to do spells like that without training. You end up far from your destination and more confused than before. Hey Hinata are you okay?" Naruto began to shake Hinata gently to wake her up. As Hinata opened her eyes she saw that Naruto was shaking her and they were not with that weird man from before.
"Ummm...Naruto-san where are we? How did we end up here and where is that weird man from before?" Hinata asked a million and one questions at once. Naruto just shook his head.
"Well as to where we are it looks like we're on a training ground. To answer your second question as to how we got here, well before I tell you this you have to promise that you won't tell anyone. Not even our parents, okay?" Hinata nodded and let Naruto continue his explanation.
"Well as to how we got here, I kinda used a spell to transport us here, but the thing is I'm not supposed to be performing spells on my own or at all until I've had training. My father doesn't know nor does my mother know and if she found out it would break her heart. You see when my dad is away on business I go into his study and look through his books of spells. Not the dangerous ones just ones that I know I can do without getting into too much trouble, like the teleportation spell that I used. If any member of the magic council found out that I was using these spells without training, my family could get into trouble. Do you understand now what happened Hinata?" To Naruto's dismay he found that Hinata didn't believe a word he said.
"Magic can't be real, my cousin says its not real. So magic doesn't exist right?" Hinata was in for another surprise when right before her eyes Naruto produced two beautiful flower pins from out of nowhere from a small ball of light . (AN. Pins you put in your hair and the pins you put on clothes)
"Naruto-san how did-," "Now do you believe me when I tell you magic is real. I'm allowed to get away with making these since these aren't as dangerous as compared to what most dark wizards make in the magical realm. Here Hinata you can have these my mom has dozens of these things. Here let me put them in your hair." Naruto then put the flower pins gently in her hair and caused Hinata to blush a pretty shade of red.
"There, now to answer your last question as to where that man that took us away is at, well I don't want to stick around here to find out. What do you say that we go into town and find our parents before that horrid man comes back. For some odd reason, I feel as though that man can't be trusted. I can see some houses from here, lets head in that direction and lets keep close" then Naruto took Hinata's hand in his and both of them began to walk in the village to try to find their parents. Five minutes after they left the training grounds one of Kakashi's tracker dogs show up and pick up the scent of the kids and begins to follow them. Meanwhile on the other side of the village Anko had just found Kurenai and both began their search for the kids. In fact the whole village was put under lock down until those kids were found. Fate and Hiashi continued to search the village for any sign of their children, and were growing more worried by the minute.
'Please Naruto be alright, your mother and I can't loose you now.' Fate was so into his thoughts he almost didn't see the tracker crystals flashing.
"Fate what are these things doing? Why are they blinking like that?" Fate had a smile on his face for he knew why the crystals were doing what they were doing.
"The crystals are doing that because they know where the kids are. When anyone that the crystal is searching for is near the crystals begin to flash like they are now." Fate's explanation put a grin Hiashi's face.
"You mean that the kids are somewhere near?" Hiashi looked at Fate with hope in his eyes.
"Yes my friend but we must hurry, for I fear that Danzo is looking for the kids as well. And after all this is over I need to have a long talk with my son about what he reads in my study." Hiashi looks at Fate with confusion on his face.
"Why do you say that?" Fate just sighed and said, "Cause I believe that my son used a spell to get away from Danzo, a spell he knows he shouldn't do without his mother or myself watching him." Hiashi just smiled and the two continued the search for their most precious treasures.
*In the village*
"Now which spot should I hit first, the local bar, the hot spring or my favorite Ramen shop?" the local pervert Jiraiya was walking through the town trying to figure out where he should go first now that he had time to kill before the festival started. His thoughts were cut short when he spotted both Naruto and Hinata walking hand-in-hand through the busy streets of Konoha.
'Well what do we have here, I thought those kids were with Saratobi, I guess something happened after I left. Why do they both look tense? Something tells me that someone is looking for these kids and they don't want to run into this guy at all. I better keep an eye on these kids until this is sorted out.' Jiraiya then went up to the kids and gave them a bit of a surprise. "Hey kids what are you two doing here in the middle of the village without an escort? That's a little dangerous don't you think, you could get lost here in the village if you don't have a guide." Both kids turned their heads and found the Jiraiya grinning like the fool Naruto knew he was.
"Hey your that perverted idiot from before that almost got killed by my mother. What are you doing here?" Jiraiya just sighed and knew that the kid was never going to let that go for a long time.
"Well kid you and you little friend look like your trying to get away from someone, why don't you kids come with me and you can tell me everything that happened. And on the way how about I buy you two some lunch?" Before the kids could protest both of their stomachs growled causing both kids to blush from embarrassment, causing Jiraiya to laugh.
"Come on kids lets get you two something to eat and then you can tell me what happened." Jiraiya then did a few hand signs and in a puff of smoke a giant toad appeared. (AN. It that toad that he was seen riding on when he meet Naruto during the Chunin exams, not chief toad. He doesn't show up until later. Now back to the story)
"Come on climb on and hold on tight, cause the place that were going to is on the other side of the village." Jiraiya then proceeded to help the kids on top of the huge toad. Once settled they began to move. Unknown to them Danzo and his Anbu Root were in hot pursuit of those kids. He was searching everywhere and had no luck. He now knew why he never had any kids of his own, they were nothing but big pains. He and the rest of the members of Root were about to head east to continue their search for the kids when Hiashi and Fate ran into them. And lets just say that they weren't to happy to see them.
"Well if it isn't Danzo the rat we've been looking for, where are our children you rat? Return them now and we might let you live long enough to see your trail." Hiashi was beyond mad at the man in front of him. Fate was cross between killing Danzo or turning him into a frog to experiment on back home in his lab.
"Sorry to disappoint you but I have bigger fish to fry, and I don't have time to deal with you two so, Razor, Missile I leave these two in your hands while I continue to look for those brats" As Danzo leapt away his two lackeys Razor and Missile charged both Fate and Hiashi. While Fate and Hiashi took out some of their anger on Danzo's minions Jiraiya and his new riding companions, Naruto and Hinata, they head towards the local ramen shop for an early lunch.
*Switch to the Ramen Shop*
"Well here we are kids, I hope you two are hungry. And don't worry about having your parents pay me back, this is on me." Jiraiya helped both Naruto and Hinata onto the stools in the small shop and then took his seat.
"So what do you two want to eat, pork miso, beef miso or their special?" Jiraiya watched as the kids tried to make up their minds as to what they wanted to eat.
"Well I'll try the beef miso just to try it out, what about you Hinata, what do you want?" Naruto turned and looked at Hinata waiting for her answer.
"I'll have the pork miso please" Jiraiya couldn't help but notice that this girl was blushing a little when Naruto looked at her.
"Then I guess I'll have the beef miso too" as their orders were being prepared Jiraiya decided to find out what happened after he left the Hokage's office. But Jiraiya had to be careful about the questions he was going to ask them. He knew that Naruto wasn't ready to learn of the real reason why he was taken. As for Hinata he was confused as to how she fit in this whole mess but he had a funny feeling that he would find out soon.
"So do any of you kids want to tell me what happened after I left and how you two ended up in the middle of the village or will I have to guess?" Jiraiya just smiled as both children did their best to explain what happened with out revealing to Jiraiya about Naruto's magical powers. After about two minutes Naruto decides to explain what happened.
"Well after you left my mother, Hinata and myself were going to go on a tour of the village with a man named Kakashi. About two minutes after we left the Hokage's office Hinata and I felt this strange numbing feeling then the hallway began to spin and after that everything went black. When I work up the first time I noticed that Hinata and myself were both in a dark room and I could tell that something was wrong and, well as for how we got out I guess that we were just lucky that they didn't notice two kids disappearing when they weren't looking" Naruto was careful to leave out the spell he preformed to teleport them out of that place.
"After that I guess what ever they stuck us with finally took effect and put us asleep when Hinata and I work up we had no idea where we were and then we both decided to head for the Hokage and let him know what's going on. And that's about it from what I can remember." Naruto noticed that Jiraiya had a skeptical look on his face and Jiraiya knew that the boy was hiding something that he didn't want him to find out.
"Well that is strange, but after we eat I want to take both of you to the hospital to have you both checked on to see if what ever was put into your systems is gone and that there are no other side effects. Okay but until then lets eat!" Jiraiya put on his best smile and gave the kids a thumbs up. Ten minutes later after Jiraiya paid for their lunch they made their way to the hospital. Upon arriving, Jiraiya noticed Anko and Kurenai at the front desk both with a look of worry and dread.
"Hey what are you two doing here, I thought you would be in town enjoying the festival like everyone else?" Jiraiya surprised both Anko and Kurenai when he spoke. But what surprised them more was the fact the villages biggest pervert was walking around with two little kids who just happened to be the ones that every chunin and Jounin was looking for.
"Okay Jiraiya I'm only going to ask you this once and you have better give me a straight answer you perverted lech, what are those two kids doing here and why did you bring them to the hospital? Cause believe me if you gave any of them alcohol you are a dead man understand. Now what is going on?" Jiraiya knew that messing with the genjutsu master was a dumb thing to do and he wanted to live to see the light of day (and he also wanted to hit the bar before it got too busy).
"Look I'll explain everything to you two in a minute but first these two need to be checked out. Naruto said that he a Hinata was pumped with some sort of sedative to knock them out and I want to make sure that was all that they were pumped with and that there won't be any side effects to that stuff on them. Now Naruto this Kurenai, she is a good friend of mine and one of the most deadliest female ninjas you'll find in this village and this is Anko another deadly ninja that for some odd reasons frightens everyone but small children. Now they are going to take you to see one of the doctors here to get you both checked out, I have to head for the Hokage's office and let him know what's going on also Naruto to let your mother know what's going on and that you are safe. I'll be back in a few minutes." After that Jiraiya left an older boy and another little boy around Naruto's age but with black hair and black eyes wearing a shirt with a red and white fan on the back entered the hospital, both surprised to find the villages biggest pervert leaving the hospital without the aid of crutches. Anko knew who both these boys were and had a good idea who they were looking for too.
"Itachi, Sasuke what are you two doing down here? I thought you both were helping your mother with the festival?" Anko knew that the only reason the Uchiha boys would be here at the hospital was to pick up the many first aid kits that were needed for tonight. She knew that this was the one night besides New Years that people got seriously drunk and did the stupidest stuff. That and Jiraiya was known for getting himself into a lot of trouble that usually resulted in him having a broken arm by dawn. And the breaking of any bones on Jiraiya was either caused by Anko herself or by the head of the Uchiha clan.
"Actually Anko-san father sent us here because their was a disturbance a few blocks away from our home. Mother was worried that something was going to happen to us and father agreed with her and they sent us here. Now I have a question for you, why is the heir to the Hyuga clan here and who is her boyfriend?" Itachi couldn't help but put on the famous Uchiha smirk when he noticed how red both Naruto and Hinata got. Sasuke couldn't help but laugh too which cause Naruto to become frustrated. The only one that could make fun of him was his friend Cyan back home. But before Naruto could turn Sasuke into a toad (cause he really wanted to regardless of the trouble he was in) Hinata spoke up.
"Sasuke-san it's not nice to laugh at others like that, how would you feel if Itachi was making fun of you and Sakura?" That shut Sasuke up quick, he knew that if his father found out about his friend Sakura, they might never see each other again and that was something Sasuke didn't want.
"All right now Naruto and Hinata follow me and we'll see if you both are healthy as for you Itachi I have a special job for you I need you to head towards the Hokage's office and let him know that we have the children and he can bring the boys' mother to see him and go right now, understand." Itachi nodded and left quickly leaving the children with Kurenai and Anko.
Two minutes after Itachi left the hospital he arrived at the Hokage's office. Upon going in he found the Hokage trying to consul a woman who was crying her heart out.
"Hokage-sama I was sent here by Kurenai-san to tell you that the children are at the hospital with her and Anko. She wanted me to tell you that both children are safe and being looked at by the doctors right now. The boy is asking for this woman right here who my guess would be his mother." Itachi than looked at Inza who was smiling and thanking every heavenly deity out there that her little prince was safe.
"Yes I'm Naruto's mother please take me to the hospital as fast as you can." Inza was anxious to see her baby boy and just hold him til they got home.
Both the Hokage and Inza followed Itachi to the hospital where upon their arrival Inza saw her son outside of the doctor's office waiting on Hinata to come out while talking to a girl who Inza knew must be Anko.
"MOMMA!" Naruto ran to his mother the minute he saw her and hugged her with all the strength he had. Inza just cried into her son's hair and held him with all her might, praying that nothing would take her little prince away from her.
"My little prince, thank heavens you are safe, don't you ever scare me like that again. Were you or Hinata hurt at all?" To Inza joy her son nodded no and told her how they ended up meeting with Jiraiya and how he brought them here.
"And then Jiraiya said that the doctors here were going to check to make sure that what ever that se-da-tive stuff was, wouldn't mess with our bodies and harm us. And that's what happened momma." Inza just smiled at her son and knew he was hiding something from her. Inza's smile got bigger when she noticed Hinata coming out of the doctor's office with flower pins in her hair. She then looked to her son who was a bright shade of red.
"Okay Miss Hyuga you are fine now all you have to do is wait here for your father to come pick you up. Now then Naruto if you would follow me and I take it you must be his mother yes?" The doctor then looked at Inza and gave her a smile.
"Yes I am sir and if it is alright with you I would like to be in the room with my son while you examine him." The doctor said that would be fine and they proceeded to the examining room.
Meanwhile Fate and Hiashi were now in pursuit of Danzo so they could take out the rest of their anger out on him. While they were searching for him Danzo was heading for the one place he didn't think to look in the first place; the hospital. He knew that those kids would go to the one place they would feel safe until their parents found them. Upon Danzo's arrival he came across not only the children but a mother who wanted to kill him. To say that Inza was seeing red was an understatement. The moment Inza saw that monster of a man she became very tense and her aura could be seen surrounding her.
"Naruto you go with Hinata, Sasuke, Anko and Kurenai and go back into the hospital. Let the Hokage know that Danzo is here and tell him that if he hears a man screaming for mercy or if he hears bones breaking tell him not to worry. Now my little prince go inside and stay there until I come for you, understand?" Naruto knew that the only times that his mother ever got angry was one of his father's friends used him for a little project that would involve him holding a potion that could turn him into a frog or something. Naruto knew never to disobey his mother when ever she was mad (not that he ever disobeyed his mother).
"Hmph, 'little prince' more like little monster" Inza shot Danzo a glare that would have killed him if he didn't shut up. Which to her dismay he didn't.
"Tell child did you ever wonder why your mother and father both have dark hair and eyes while you have blonde hair and blue eyes? Did it ever once occur to you that you were far different than your parents not just in looks but in mind. Tell me have you ever notice the markings on you face and why you have them. Have you ever wondered why you were born with those markings or why your parents continue to love something that is nothing more than a curse upon society." Danzo put on a smirk when he notice Naruto begin to shake and dodged a lightening bolt sent his way by Inza in her attempt to shut him up. Danzo neglected to see Inza chanting a summoning spell for a few water nymphs. So he just kept talking and revealed the one thing that Inza was hoping Naruto wouldn't find out until he was older.
"Tell me have Inza and Fate ever told you that they weren't your parents?" As soon as Naruto heard this he turned around and shouted at the man who was saying nothing but lies to him.
"YOUR WRONG MOMMA IS MY MOTHER AND PAPA IS MY FATHER!!! YOUR LYING ABOUT THEM NOT BEING MY PARENTS!!" Naruto had tears flowing down his face as he told Danzo he was lying. Unfortunately Danzo continued to talk and dodge lightening sent his way by Inza who knew that if she didn't finish this soon Danzo would hurt her son in the worst way possible.
"Oh..but they aren't. You see Fate and your mother took you in and decided to raise you, as what I don't know but know this little boy, they aren't your real parents." Danzo enjoyed the sight of Naruto and his shocked face, which he would have enjoyed more if his mother didn't have seven water nymphs surrounding him and Fate and Hiashi standing right behind him with Jiraiya, Kakashi, Asuma, and what looked to be a Green Lantern (AN. This one is not the Green Lantern John Stewart, its one of the other Lantern Members. Now on with the story).
"Danzo you are truly a monster. To tell a little boy that at that young of an age is beyond cruel. Danzo you are under arrest for kidnaping, child endangerment, treason to the village and attempted murder of a fellow ninja of the Leaf Village. Now would you prefer to come with us or would you rather suffer at the hands of the boys mother who need I remind you wants to kill you right now." To Danzo's amazement he was surrounded by water nymphs all ready and waiting to strike and not just Kakashi's dogs. Danzo also notice the hurt look on Inza's face which meant he was in a lot of trouble. And not just with the Hokage but with a very angry Fate. Deciding that hiding would be a better solution than facing execution by the hands of the Hokage Danzo decided to disappear and fast.
"Sorry if I don't agree with your plans, but I have other plans. But know this Fate I will get your son and end his miserable life, even if it takes me 100 years to do so." And with that Danzo disappeared in a puff of smoke.
As soon as every thing was settled both Fate and his wife went about the task of trying to get their son to respond to them.
"Naruto, please say something its me momma. Please say something, answer me please" Inza did her best to try and bring her son out of what ever trance he was in. Fate tried too but his efforts were meet with the same results. Both parents were about to lose all hope when Inza felt something wet on her hands. Inza looked up and saw that her son was crying. And mumbling something.
"Naruto what are you saying, please answer me sweety." To both Fate and his wife's surprise Naruto just ran into his mother's arms and held onto her like his life depended on it crying into her shirt. After about five minutes Naruto looked at both his parents and asked them one question they were hoping they would have to answer when he was older.
"Momma, papa am I really your son?" Fate knew that he could lie to Naruto about being his biological parents. His son deserved the truth.
"Son I think its time your mother and I had a long talk with you. Cause I think you need to hear the truth about everything. Hiashi you and your daughter are welcomed to join us. Cause as soon as we get done telling Naruto this, we're going to have to tell him the other news too." Hiashi nodded and went to pick up his daughter and held her close to him while she cried. As for Sasuke, he just held onto his brother's the whole time as he tried his best to hold back his tears. As everyone went their separate ways, Fate and his family along with Hiashi and his daughter went back to the Hokage's office. Fate asked his Lantern friend to wait outside the village until he was done talking to his son and everyone else. The minute they arrived Fate took Naruto from his mother's arm noticing that he had stopped crying and sat him on his lap.
"Naruto there is something that your mother and I didn't get a chance to tell you. Something that we were hoping to tell you when you were a little bit older. But part of what Danzo said is true. Naruto your mother and I aren't your biological parents. You were only a baby when we adopted you and your mother and I love you dearly." Fate noticed his son look down at his hands and feared the worst.
"Then is what that man said about me being a monster true also and being nothing more than a curse upon society as well?" Naruto was shaking again as he repeated Danzo's words to his father.
"No you are not a monster son. A monster is a creature who has a heart of ice and feels for no one. Monsters hate everyone and everything around them. They are raised in hatred and darkness, while you my son were raised with love and given a kind heart. As for a curse, I think you know that you are not a curse to us." Fate got another surprise when his son burst out with another shocker.
"Then why do I have these markings on my face and did he call me a demon when he took both Hinata and I, what is wrong with me?" Fate hugged his son as soon as he said those words and prayed that he son would be strong for what he was about to tell him.
"Naruto son the reason for all that is because he sees you for the monster you have sealed in you. You see the day you were born you had a monster sealed in you. Because of that Danzo thinks you are him. As for the marking on your face, you were born with them. Naruto understand this, you are not the monster that is sealed within you. You are my son and nothing will ever change that. Now as for your mother and I, we love not matter who you are. And regardless of whether we are your biological parents or not, your still our son and we love. Do you understand son. Parents are the people that are responsible for creating you, a parent is the person who raises and loves you with all their hearts and your mother and I love very much and nothing is going to change that." Fate noticed his son nodding his head and drying his tears with his hand. But Naruto said something that brought tears to both his mother and fathers eyes.
"Momma, papa does this mean I'm still your little prince and I won't have to leave you?" Inza just laughed along with her husband as they both hugged their son. After everything was settled Fate decided to tell Naruto and Hinata the other good news.
"Oh I just remembered something, Naruto do you remember when I was talking to the Hokage and Hiashi earlier before this whole nightmare started. Well the Hokage and I think it would be a good idea if you began your ninja training when you turn four, also Hiashi and I were talking and decided that we would spend spring and summer with him and his family. Which means you would get to see Hinata a lot more. She'll be training along with you but along with your training I decided to enroll you into the magical academy. I have a funny feeling that you have been looking through some of my spell books back home and know a few higher level spells. Some of which you shouldn't be performing without your mother and I there to watch you. Am I right son?" Fate noticed how his son began to blush at the thought of being caught. Fate just laughed. But Inza knew that her husband was up to something so she decided to ask him.
"Saratobi do you think you could take the kids into the next room so I could talk to my husband and Hiashi for a few minutes, please?" Saratobi just smiled and knew that Fate was in for an ear full when Inza was done with him. As soon as Saratobi and the kids were in the next room Inza turned to her husband and Hiashi.
"Alright I want to know the real reason you want us to come here during the spring and summer and stay with the Hyuga's and darling what you tell me next had better be good cause after what has happened today, I'm a little on edge." Fate knew how stressed his wife was and knew that if he lied to her he would pay for it later.
"Well Inza it's like this, Hiashi and I have both noticed how close Naruto and Hinata have gotten of the past few hours. And he and I thought it would be a good idea for those two to get closer to each other. Hiashi told me that Hinata is a very shy and distant girl and he was hoping Naruto could change that. You see he talked to me earlier about have those two engaged when they got older. But I told him that you wanted our son to marry out of love when he got older so I made the suggestion that those two spend as much time together as possible and let them figure their feelings out for themselves. If those two did fall in love we would talk to you about the arranged marriage. You see nothing big that would hurt them dear just hoping these two would make us in-laws. Hiashi knows about the fox demon in Naruto and isn't bothered by that at all. No do you understand dear." Fate was surprised when his wife kissed him senseless right then and there.
"Darling thank you, I was thinking the same thing, but I have just one request dear. If I find out that you have put any spell on those kids to make them fall in love or any jutsu or what ever they use around here, you and the couch will become very good friends for a few months, understand?" Inza already knew what his answer was when she heard her husband gulp.
"Good now that we have that settled, what do you say to dinner and desert because if you haven't noticed its still Naruto's birthday until midnight tonight and we still don't have a present for him." Inza enjoyed seeing her husband's face turn pale when he realized that she was right again.
"Darling could you watch Naruto until I get back I just remembered I left his other present back home. I won't be long darling." Then Fate disappeared to retrieve his son's birthday present.
*Time skip to dinner/party time*
"Momma when's papa going to get back its almost dinner time and he never misses dinner." Naruto was sitting at a huge table with his mother, his new friends Hinata, Sasuke, Sakura (AN. who was introduced to Naruto while his father was getting his birthday present along with the other future members of Rookie Nine), Shino, Kiba (who Naruto thought smelled like a wet dog), Chouji who was eyeing the food, Shikamaru who was close to falling asleep at the table, Ino who was trying hard not to sneak a taste of the cake (AN. When you're a kid the temptation of tasting a cake before everyone else is too great.), TenTen who sat next to a kid Naruto found out was Hinata's cousin Neji and Neji sat next to Rock Lee and kid who in Naruto's opinion had the weirdest eyebrows. But he let that go cause two minutes later Fate stepped into the room with a very big box that had wholes in it (AN. You all can take a guess at what he got the boy. It is of the animal variety). Behind his father Naruto noticed Mr. Blood was with him with a few more boxes in his hands. Right next to him was one of his god mothers, Circes.
(AN. Okay here's the deal with that, Inza knew that Circes would make a much better friend than enemy so she talked to Circes and asked her to be Naruto's god mother in the event anything happened to her or her husband and if things got worse for her to send Naruto to live with Jason Blood who is one of Naruto's god fathers.)
Inza noticed that Circes had quite a few baskets of treats and gifts for not just Naruto but for his guests as well. Inza knew that Circes loved to spoil Naruto any chance she got and would probably give Naruto his own kingdom if he asked. But before she could question Circes about her gift the food arrived and everyone began to eat. As Naruto and his new friends enjoyed their food, Inza and Fate got to know their son's new friends parents and family. Fate got to know many of the fathers, like Shikamaru's dad and Chouji's father who couldn't seem to stop eating all the dumplings. Shino's father gave Fate interesting information to help his wife's garden live longer with certain species of insects. Fate found out that Sasuke's father was easy to talk to once you got past the whole Uchiha arrogance. As Fate got to know the fathers more, Inza got to know the mothers, much to her dismay. Inza found out that a lot of people were frightened of Shikamaru's mother and the same with Sakura's mother. They both had bad tempers that could rival the god of wars temper. Kiba's mother was a little more mellow but more direct and when I mean direct I mean ask her about her and her husbands sex life. After that Inza turned a nice shade of red and decided to change the subject. Inza found out that Mrs. Hyuga looked just like her daughter and was just as polite as her. She also had the same blushing habit as her daughter. Ino's mother was a very interesting person to talk to. Inza found out that Ino's mother loved to gossip about others and had a weird obsession with fashion and being thin. But all that aside after everyone was finished with dinner it was time to open the presents. The cake was still being made. Since Chouji and his family was there, it was decided that the cake needed to be a little bigger.
"Alright kids gather around its time for Naruto to open his gifts. Now Naruto you come here and sit in the middle and wait here. Now this one is from the Uchiha family." Naruto opened his first present that held books on beginner jutsus and hand signs as well as a book on taijutsu. Next came Sakura's present, which was a book on medical herbs and plants (Naruto told Sakura about how he helped his mother in her garden and decided that book would come in handy). Next present came from both Hinata and her cousin Neji. Both of them got Naruto a set of beginner Kunai's and Throwing Stars to practice with. Inza knew that she was going to have to either hide those or leave them here with Hiashi and his family. Next came Kiba's gift which was something I would dread later on when he was older. Kiba got him a book of 10,000,000 pranks made easy. I looked to my husband and told him we're hiding that book. Next gift was TenTen and she gave Naruto a calligraphy kit that came with a smock and lots of paper. Shikamaru's present was one that both Naruto and his father would enjoy. Shikamaru had gotten Naruto a shogi board, a chess set, and a Chinese checkers board. Naruto had told Shikamaru how much he enjoyed solving the many puzzles and brain teasers his father gave him and knew that he would enjoy this. Also Shikamaru wanted someone else besides his father to play shogi with.
The next present came from Chouji and it was a book for easy to difficult recipes for kids. Inza knew she was going to have fun with that one, she could just picture her kitchen covered in flour with her son in the middle of the kitchen with a smile on his face. Next gift came from Shino and it was a book of bugs to know and bugs to avoid and a statue of three dragonflies. Lee's gift was a little unusual, which was a bunch of dumbbells. Naruto just smiled and thanked Lee for his gift. Ino's gift was unique cause not only did she give him incense but a black book that was empty. Ino just smiled and said it will come in handy when he gets older. Inza prayed that her son would need it in the future. Now came the moment that the others were waiting for. First came Circes and her many little gift baskets.
"Now children I know this is my god son's party but I know his big heart to well and I have gifts for all of you as well. Now the girls get the pink while the boys get the blue baskets and Naruto sweety you get the gold basket" As the baskets were passed out each kid began to look and found that each basket held small trinkets and a bunch a sugary sweets. Each boy received a small statue of the Greek god Apollo. The girls all received small bracelets, perfume and a little booklet that came with a small pencil. Each child thanked Circes and gave her a hug. Circes then noticed that Naruto had put his basket down and had a slight blush on his face. Inza knew that Circes got her son something big and wrote on the card something embarrassing. But before she could chew Circes out, Jason Blood decided to give his gifts.
"Naruto now I know that you have received a lot on this day, including a gift that is far more valuable than any treasure which is friends. I figured that these would come in handy." As each child opened their boxes they noticed small crystals and arm braces that matched the color of each stone.
"Now Naruto everyone the gifts I have given you are very special. The crystals will act as a compass and lead you home if you are ever lost. Just point your crystals to either the moon or the north star and it will lead you home. Now the arm braces are a form of shield. I talked to my god son's father and he told me that you all will be in training to become ninja's so I thought these would come in handy as a means of defense. The braces act as both shield and warning signal if danger is near. If you are ever in battle these will form a powerful shield and block your opponents away from you. It also acts as a danger signal. If danger is near the stone in the middle will begin to glow." Everyone thanked Mr. Blood and gave him a hug. Now the moment that Naruto and the others were waiting for. Naruto's present from his father.
"Now Naruto the gift that I have gotten you is very special and you must take very good care of it." Naruto opened the box very gently and found a blue wolf cub with a card in its mouth that said 'Happy Birthday Love your mother and father'. The wolf cub looked into Naruto's eyes and knew that this boy would be its friend for life.
"Papa is this wolf cub a boy or girl?" Naruto was trying to figure out what to call the cub but was having a hard time cause he didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.
"Well Naruto it's a she and she is a very special type of wolf cub. You see she has the ability to control wind, ice and snow so choose her name wisely son." Naruto thought long and hard until he came up with the perfect name.
"How about Yuki ookami. Since she can control ice and snow." The wolf cub happily licked her new masters's face. Soon the moment everyone was waiting for had finally come. It was time for the cake.
To say that the kids were awe struck when they saw the size of the cake was an understatement. Heck they needed a towel to clean up the drool that was coming from Chouji's mouth and his parents had to hold him down just to keep him from eating the whole cake before Naruto even blew out the candles.
As everyone sang happy birthday to Naruto, Naruto began to think about what the future holds for him and his family and knew that Danzo would be back to kill him and his family. Naruto made a vow that he would protect all those close to him and keep them from harm.
"Now Naruto make a wish and blow out the candles" Naruto stared at the three candles on his cake and thought about his wish, then he blew out his candles and everyone cheered loudly but not as loud as Chouji who wanted to get the biggest slice of cake before everyone else.
"So what did you wish for Naruto-san?" Shikamaru asked Naruto as they began to eat curious as to what his new friend had wished for. Naruto just smiled and shook his head.. Naruto then turned to his friend and told him,
"Sorry Shikamaru if I tell you then it won't come true, besides that wish is going to take a long time to come true." Shikamaru just laughed at his friend and went back to eating the cake. Soon it was time for all the kids to go home and go to bed. After everything was cleaned up and the rest of the cake was divided up so each family could have some for later, Inza went to go find Naruto. She found her soon in the garden with Neji and his cousin fast asleep next to him along with Naruto and both were talking to Jason Blood about his life when he was a boy. Inza decided that now was a good time to get her son and take him home and put him to bed, for she knew that in the morning they would have a lot to do to get him ready for the magical academy.
"Naruto my little prince its time for us to go home sweety. Your father is waiting for us inside and its time to say your goodbyes." Inza saw the tired look in her son's eyes. She also knew that the minute they got home that he would go straight to sleep from today's activities and knew that talking to him about the spell he used today would have to wait until tomorrow.
Naruto said his goodbyes and thank you to Hiashi Hyuga and his family, then Fate and his family went straight for the gates of Konoha and found his Green Lantern friend.
"Did you find anything out of the ordinary my friend? Any leads on where Danzo and the members of Root have gone?" sadly to Fate's dismay the Green Lantern found nothing. Fate told him to keep an eye out for him and to notify him if he or the other Lanterns find him or Root.
Upon arriving to their home Inza places Naruto in his bed and kisses him goodnight. As she leaves she notices that Yuki is fast asleep at the foot of her son's bed also and just smiles. As soon as Inza closes her son's door she goes to find her husband in his study looking of his books to find out which spell Naruto used earlier to get away from Danzo. Upon noticing his wife Fate put down the book he was looking through and went over to hug his tired wife.
"Inza darling you have nothing to fear anymore, Danzo will never take our son away ever again." Inza just sighed and looked into her husbands eyes and told him,
"Fate dear, never say never in life. I have a bad feeling that Danzo will come back and he won't be alone. Danzo is a very dangerous man and will stop at nothing to get what he wants. I fear that he will be back more powerful than ever. But I'm not worried about him defeating our son, I'm more worried about the fox defeating him. We still haven't told him about the fox and I have a funny feeling that if Danzo didn't tell Naruto about the fox, the fox itself would have made itself known through his turmoil and anguish. My love what are we going to do?" Fate just sighed and knew that he would dread telling his son about that monster in detail, but he knew that he had to know the truth.
"Inza we will do as have planed for our son. He will start the magical academy like I stated before and in the spring and summer we will go and stay with the Hyuga's so he can receive his ninja training. But until then we must keep a close eye on him darling. Don't worry everything will work out for the better and I promise Danzo will pay for what he did today. But my love you were right about today being a day that neither of us will ever forget. For I have a funny feeling that we will never forget this day. Now it is late and I believe we both need our rest, come lets retire. For tomorrow we have a lot to do and many things to talk about." With that both Inza and Fate left the den to head for their room, but stopped near their son's room to check to see if he was alright. To their joy they had found their son still fast asleep mumbling about a giant bowl of ramen. So both parents left their son's room and went to retire in their own bed. For when dawn came, a new a wonderful adventure would begin for both their son and his new friends of the leaf village.
*AN. WOW long chapter. Well I hope you guys like this one, just goes to show that you should never mess with Fate and his family. Who knew that Inza had that type of power. Guess the saying is true that you should never mess with a mother who's trying to protect her baby. In the next chapter Naruto gets to meet some new and old friends in the magical realm. I would like to thank all those who submitted a OC character to me. Those characters will become permeant characters in the story. I'm sorry for not updating as quickly as I could but I had work and a bad case of writers block. The next chapter will be coming shortly so until then...Ja ne!!!!
