Chapter 4: Finding Out

The blonde haired shinobi made his way through the bustling streets of Konoha keeping the thought of his destination firmly in his mind, Ichiraku's. It had been part of his daily routine to wake up early in the morning then head to Ichiraku's for the best ramen ever.

Spotting the small stand at the corner of the street he increased his speed not being able to wait any longer for his ramen.

"Teuchi-san! Ayame-neechan!" He said excitedly while raising his hands.

He sat down on his favorite seat and began to order for his meal.

"10 miso ramens please!"

"Haha! Naruto! My best customer! We'll have it ready right away." Teuchi said giving him a big grin.

Trying to wait patiently for the ramen to cook his thoughts wandered off to the previous night.

'I stopped wishing on stars a long time ago, Naruto.'

All night this sentence kept on replaying in his head and yet he still couldn't understand what it meant.

'It wasn't your fault.'

He snorted. Of course it was his fault. Everything was his fault. If only he tried harder. He tried to bring him back, yes but a part of him still didn't want to bring Sasuke back. A part of him liked that Sasuke left. A part of him wanted Sasuke to stay away and yet he couldn't let that happen. Sasuke was his brother. Sasuke was his rival yeat his friend, his best friend. Sasuke was the love of his precious Sakura-chan.

He sighed. What was the use of regretting what happened. Sasuke died and that was that. No one could ever change that. He had failed, broken his promise.

'I stopped wishing on stars a long time ago, Naruto.'

If only he knew what it meant. Could it mean that she wasn't childish? Could it be that she thought that wishing on stars was silly or could it mean that she wished for something but the wish didn't come true?

'I can't help but wonder what she meant by that. Anyways I probably won't ever know. I have too many thing in my head, I have to-'

"Here's your ramen Naruto. Hot and Fresh! That would be 25 Ryo." Came the interrupting voice of Ayame.

"Oh sorry." He pulled out his Gama-chan from his pocket and handed the money to Ayame.

"Itadekim-"

"Uzumaki Naruto?"

"Eh?" Naruto stared at the anbu that interrupted him from eating his ramen.

"Hokage-sama calls for you."

"But…I'm about to eat my ramen. Can't it wai-"

"She says its urgent and that you need to be in her office right now."

"But-But! My Ramen!" Naruto said with tears in his eyes.

"Sorry…" The anbu

Naruto sighed.

"Teuchi-san, I'm sorry but I have to go."

"Okay then. See you later!"

He grumpily made his way to the Hokage Tower not knowing what lay ahead of him.

"Hey Tsunade-baachan! What is so important that you disturb me while I'm eating my ramen?!" He said feeling very sad about leaving his ramen behind.

"Hey Naruto. Sit down. I have something very important to tell you."

'She didn't complain about me calling her baachan?! It must be really important.'

"So, what did you call me for?"

"Naruto… I was going through the files of the office, just browsing through and I found 2 files that might interest you."

Naruto eyed the folders on the desk of the Hokage. He couldn't really read the names but he did happen to see the letter 'K'.

"Naruto…I have something to tell you. Something that I just learned a few minutes ago.

There was a long pause.

Naruto, I know who your parents are."

Naruto's eyes widened. To say that he was shocked would be an understatement. Here is a boy who has lived his whole life not knowing who his parents were and who has lived without them.

"My p-pa-parents?"

"Naruto…" She handed him a letter and the files giving him a sad look.

He opened the envelope and pulled out the small paper that Tsunade read. She gave him a few moments to read it.

"I-I" He stuttered unable to move or say anything.

There was a long pause between the two of them.

"He-He-My father sealed the Kyuubi in…me? My father is the Yondaime? I-I. There must be some kind of mistake."

He looked Tsunade straight in the eye.

"Why?" He said in a whisper.

"I'm sorry." She said watching his hands tremble. He was staring at the picture of his pregnant mother with his father. They looked so happy. His father had his arm draped around his mother's shoulder. They seemed to be laughing at something.

A tear dropped unto the picture.

"My mom…"He traced the face of his smiling mother.

"They looked so carefree." He wiped his eyes.

"I'm so sorry. I didn't know…" The Hokage sympathetically said.

A small smile graced his lips.

"Don't be. When I was a small boy I would wonder about who my parents were. Sometimes I even thought that maybe they were alive somewhere and that maybe one day I would be able to meet them. At least I know who they are." Tears slowly gathered in his eyes.

"Don't be mad at your father for sealing the Kyuubi in you."

"I'm not. I'm not mad at him at all. My father was the Hokage. I should be proud and I am." He said putting on a brave smile.

'Even after learning that his father sealed the Kyuubi in him he still isn't capable of truly hating.'

"I need some time alone." He stated right before he jumped out the window.

She stood and looked at the figure slowly making it's way farther from the Hokage tower.

'He is going to be one heck of a hokage…Good luck, Naruto.'
