Tsukiyo69 Thanks for the reviews I really appreciate it :3

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto


"He's right if he's ours where were we and why was he so malnourished" Kushina said looking sadly at her husband

"I don't know but were going to find out when he wakes up" Minato said giving his wife a small smile and a huge

Next day

Again Naruto woke up staring at the white ceiling but was surprised to hear someone speak

"You're finally awake" The redhead lady from yesterday said to Naruto

Naruto looked at her and then remembered everything that happened the other day he tried to get up but the lady didn't let him and he was hurting himself even if it didn't hurt as much as it did the other day but it still hurt

"Calm down I'm not going to hurt you" the lady said kindly

"Look lady how do I know for sure you all keep calling me a liar and you turned old man hokage against me" Naruto said still trying to break free

"Look I promise I won't hurt you so please calm down you're hurting yourself and my names Kushina not lady" Kushina told Naruto as he stopped struggling to get up

"Fine" Naruto said crossing his arms

"Now Naruto can you tell me how you got all those injuries" Kushina asked Naruto in a gentle tone

Naruto was shocked no one had ever talked to him in that way before except old man hokage but for some reason the way she said it was different. Naruto didn't know if he could trust her but he felt like she would know if he lied to her about what the villagers did. So Naruto did the best thing any nine-year old could do in a situation where he didn't know what to say. He shook his head and said no avoiding eye contact.

"Why" Kushina asked Naruto "you were so talkative yesterday"

"You wouldn't believe me and old man hokage would be mad if he found out if he's still on my side" Naruto said avoiding eye contact and saying the last part very quietly that Kushina almost didn't hear what he said almost

"Against you? Sarutobi isn't against you he's on your side Naruto and so am I" Kushina said while she put her hand on his shoulder

Naruto felt strangely happy. For some reason this lady was nice and she was warm not like everyone else in the village. But would she still be nice to him if she found out that everyone thought he was a monster. Naruto knew he wasn't one but he was starting to doubt himself since all the adults called him one. What scared Naruto the most was if she would try to kill him to there was no way he could get away and he was starting to like how warm she felt.

"You won't hate me if I tell you" Naruto finally said after a long silence looking at Kushina with sad, lonely, pleading eyes.

Kushina was surprised at how lonely and sad Naruto looked and she gave him a hug and a small smile

"No matter what you tell me I won't hate you Naruto"

Naruto was surprised about the hug this was another thing only the hokage did to him but only very rarely. Naruto got a big smile on his face then he saw she was smiling at him which made both of them get a bigger smile than they already had on their faces.

"Ok I'll tell you but don't tell anyone else, not even old man hokage or the big blond guy from yesterday" Naruto said as serious as he could with his big smile on his face. Kushina nodded but what both of them didn't know was that Minato and Sarutobi where outside of the door listening to everything that had gone on

Then Naruto's smile faded as he started to talk.

Flashback

"Hey old man hokage what did you want to see me about so late" Naruto yelled as he entered the hokages office with his arms behind his head

"Well I thought it would be safer to call you at night to talk because most of the villagers will be asleep and" he stopped for a dramatic pause and leaned forward. Naruto leaned forward in anticipation "to tell you that you will start attending the ninja academy next week"

"Really old man hokage you mean it I can finally become a ninja yatta" Naruto said running all around the room and cheering

The hokage chuckled at Naruto

"When you enter the academy and learn about throwing shuriken and kunai I'll give you some real ones but for now" he said as he pulled out a box wrapped in wrapping paper "You'll have to practice with these"

Naruto saw the box and immediately opened it revealing a set of practice kunai and shuriken. Naruto's eyes light up and ran out the door saying "thanks old man I'm going to go practice a bit before I go to bed"

Sarutobi watched Naruto in his crystal ball until he stopped practicing and started to head home

"Well it looks like he's going to be fine I should head home to"

Naruto on his way home

"I can't believe old man hokage actually got me some practice kunai and shuriken" Naruto's smile got bigger "this is so awesome I'm also going to go to the academy soon this day can't get any better" Naruto told himself practically skipping

"Hey look it's the monster"

"It should just die"

"What's it doing over here?"

Naruto heard the whispers so he turned around but there was no one there

"H-hey w-whose t-there" Naruto yelled a little shakily getting out one of his practice kunai and slowly baking away from the direction of the voices

"w-whose t-there" mocked the voices

"sh-sh-shut up" Naruto yelled but then someone grabbed him and kicked him in the stomach making him drop the practice kunai he was holding

When Naruto looked up someone punched him in the face then picked him up and threw him where he landed in front of many people who started kicking him. Naruto got himself in the fetal position covering his head and face.

"Hey what this" one of the men that was kicking him said while taking Naruto's practice shuriken and kunai pouch he had put on his right leg.

"That's mine don't touch it" Naruto yelled trying to get the pouch back but couldn't.

The man who Naruto recognized as a ninja took out a practice kunai and threw the pouch away keeping the one he took out from the pouch. He then stabbed Naruto in the leg with it. Naruto screamed in pain and started to cry

"Please stop" he begged but they kept kicking him until he almost passed out

"Hey look it stopped moving should we stop and do continue again tomorrow like usual" someone said but Naruto was to busy trying not to pass out as they continued kicking him

"Hey why don't we just kill it" another said but this time everyone stopped kicking Naruto and stayed quiet

"look listen to me if we kill him there's no way in hell it will be able to do what it did nine years ago" there was silence then murmurs of agreement. Naruto was suddenly wide awake and he pulled the practice kunai from his leg and took off running.

"Come back you monster"

"Running's not going to help well find you"

"Monster"

"Beast"

"Die"

Was all small 9-year-old Naruto could hear as he ran and avoided shuriken, kunai, and jutsu from the ninja that were chasing him along with the villagers. When Naruto turned the corner he noticed it was a dead-end, but he was too late, when he turned around someone stabbed him in the stomach with a sword and several shuriken and kunai hit him. The man who stabbed him pulled the sword out backed away with an evil smile on his face. Someone yelled time erase jutsu suddenly Naruto was engulfed by light and the last things he heard was cheering.

Flashback End

Once Naruto finished telling Kushina what happened he couldn't look at her. He felt that she would be disgusted by him or fear him since now she would know that he was hated and was called a monster. He was surprised when she hugged him and she cried on his shoulder telling him everything was going to be ok. They just sat there hugging until Naruto finally spoke as he cried.

"Why are you being so nice? Why aren't you calling me a monster like everyone else? Why couldn't they be nice to me too?" Naruto cried and held on to Kushina while she comforted him. Minato and Sarutobi walked into the room and Naruto hid himself by covering his face in Kushina's shirt. Minato and Sarutobi just stood there with shocked and sad faces while Kushina comforted Naruto until he fell asleep.

"When he was telling the story he said that one of the men said to stop and continue the next day like usual. They make it sound like beating a small defenseless child is an everyday occurrence" Kushina said while she held the Naruto and slowly passed her hand through his hair.

"The words he was saying that they called him that's what people call jinchūriki" Minato said looking at Naruto sadly

"But I'm the only Jinchūriki Konoha has" Kushina said

"It could be he will become the next one to house the kyuubi" Sarutobi said causing Kushina to hold Naruto closer to her

"He's still so young why would we give such a responsibility to our son when I'm already the jailor"

There was silence for a long time when a nurse came in and said the DNA test results were done. She handed them to Minato and left. Everyone stared at the test in Minato's hand waiting for him to open it. He slowly opened it and got the answer he was expecting but he was still surprised by the answer.

"So what's the answer" Kushina asked Minato getting tired of all the silence

"P-Positive its positive he's our son" Minato finally said smiling at Kushina

This made Kushina smile then she frowned

"What's wrong Kushina I thought you wanted him to be your son" Sarutobi asked looking at Kushina with concern thinking that she might reject Naruto

"Where were we while all of that was happening to him" Kushina finally said getting very mad that she and Minato had allowed their son to get abused daily

"That's true where were we. How could we have allowed that to happen" Minato said getting mad as well

"Why don't we wake him up and ask him it's the only way was going to get any answers" Sarutobi said with a sullen face. Kushina nodded and tried to wake Naruto up

"Naruto wake up we have some more questions we want to ask you" Kushina whispered to Naruto while gently shaking his shoulder

"What" Naruto said as he rubbed his eyes with one hand and held on to Kushina with another. That caused everyone in the room to smile and think of how cute Naruto looked. Naruto noticed the smiles then looked at his hand that was holding on to Kushina's shirt he quickly let go and apologized

"It's ok you don't have to apologize" Kushina said with a smile and hugged Naruto while Minato sat next to Kushina and the third sat on the other side of Naruto

Naruto was feeling a little uncomfortable since no one in his life had shown him so much affection before not even the third.

"Naruto can I ask you a question" Minato asked Naruto trying to get him to feel more comfortable and get some answers

"Umm… ok" Naruto thought before answering

"I overheard your story and I wanted to ask where were your parents while you got attacked" Minato asked wanting to know why he or Kushina weren't there to protect him.

"Didn't old man hokage tell you" Naruto said looking at Sarutobi

They were all shocked but then they felt stupid because none of them explained to Naruto that he was from the future.

"Naruto he isn't the hokage that you know he is the younger version of him" Minato said trying to explain to what was going on "When you got stabbed and then hit with that jutsu it sent you back in time. From what you told us it would seem that you went back thirteen years"

"Does that mean I time traveled" Naruto asked a bit confused

"Yes" Kushina said

"That's so cool I time traveled I'm Naruto Uzumaki and I'm a time traveler" Naruto shouted happily

"So you see Naruto I still don't know you so could you tell us where your parents where" Sarutobi told Naruto

"You... well future you said my parents were dead but when I asked you who they were you never told me and you said that you would tell me when I was ready to know the truth"

Minato and Kushina glared at Sarutobi for not telling Naruto that they were his parents but then they realized that he said that they were dead.

"Did the older Sarutobi say what happened to your parents" Kushina asked Naruto

"He said my dad died a hero protecting the village and my mom died when I was born... but it was the same day so I never meet them" there was a small silence then Naruto added in a very soft voice "maybe that's why people call me monster it's because I killed my mom just by existing"

At that Kushina hugged him and told him that it wasn't true and that his mother loved him very much. Minato wanted to hug him to but he didn't know if Naruto would let him.

"How do you know she loved me I killed her" Naruto said while crying "she has every right to hate me I took her life away. It's my fault she's dead."

"I'm sure your mom loved you very much and was happy that you lived even if she didn't" Minato told Naruto placing his hand on Naruto's head

"how do you know" Naruto said trying to stop the tears from flowing

"because any good mother would give her life so her child can live" Kushina said still hugging Naruto

"Naruto how often did someone attack you" Sarutobi asked interrupting the family moment feeling that it was his responsibility for taking care of Naruto if Minato and Kushina weren't around

"Every day but they usually leave me alone after I stop moving or pass out. This was the first time they actually tried to kill me" Naruto said starting to remember what happened and he started to feel depressed while he held on to Kushina even tighter but managed to stop crying.

Sarutobi stayed quiet because he felt that he failed Kushina and Minato even if it was his future self that failed.

"Didn't anyone take care of you? Who did you live with that let that happen to you" Minato asked getting mad at the thought of his kid being beaten until he couldn't move every day.

"I live by myself in an apartment old man hokage gave me after I got kicked out of the orphanage when I was five" Naruto said on the verge of tears again remembering that he has always been alone and probably always will be

"Didn't anyone help you" Kushina and Minato asked at the same time hoping that some of their friends would have helped their son

"Mmm… after I got beat up a guy with a mask and white hair would take me to the hospital sometimes but he always waited until everyone left to help. Old man hokage would also help me by stopping them when they were beating me up but he was almost always busy"

"That's it no one else helped you" Minato said getting really angry while Kushina got up and paced around the room trying not to punch the wall and to keep her anger in check. Sarutobi was also getting mad at how useless his future self-sounded not even being able to protect one small kid.

Naruto was confused 'why are they getting mad did I do something wrong' he thought and after thinking a while he finally decided to ask

"Did I do something wrong to get you mad" he asked in a small voice looking down at his hands not wanting to move just in case he got them angrier.

Kushina stopped pacing and went to Naruto

"We're not mad at you were mad at everyone else for the way they treat you and not helping" she said in a caring tone to Naruto

"But they have always treated me that way that's normal" Naruto said confused

"Naruto that is in no way how they should be treating a little kid and they should be ashamed of how they treated you" Minato told Naruto who just nodded not really understanding.

"We should and talk about your living arrangements from when you get released from the hospital in a couple of months" Sarutobi told Naruto with a smile not wanting to continue their conversation because it was getting too depressing and there was nothing they can do about how Naruto was being treated in the future

"Months why so long I could be out of here in just a few days"

"Days Naruto you had many fatal injuries it's going to take months for you to get better" Minato told Naruto surprised he thought he could move after being attacked and almost killed

"But I heal super-fast I'll probably be better by tomorrow"

"ok we'll if what you say is true then tomorrow we'll talk about where you going to stay, but for now Minato has to go back to his paperwork and Kushina and I will leave you alone to rest" Sarutobi said as everyone started to leave.
