Chapter 7 - Uncle Kyu

"well he... He was murdered, the same night as my parents... Right in front of me..." I say quietly.

"... How did it happen?" he asks, I can tell he's shocked, but he's willing to listen.

FLASHBACK!

A 5-year old Naruto could hear loud noises coming from outside... It sounded like daddy's car, he thought he ran downstairs to find his mum... She wasn't there... Hmm, maybe she's already with daddy! He thought happily.

He walked outside and saw all of his dads friend from works there they all had their guns pointing at something. Then he head his fathers voice.

"Kyuubi, just calm down, put the gun down and come with us..." he pecked around the corner and saw his Uncle Kyuubi, his mum and dad... His mum was crying.. And bleeding. Kyuubi was also crying looking at her body.

"mum... Mummy!" the little boy cried and ran up to his mother.

"NO! NARUTO STAY THERE!" it was too late he had run up to his mum and hugged her she cried even harder when she saw him, blood, the colour of her long beautiful hair, flowed freely from a bullet wound in her stomach.

Kyuubi saw Naruto and his heart clenched in his chest. Why? Why did she take that bullet for him?!

"Kyuubi..." his mother said. "... Don't worry, it wasn't your fault..."

"How can you say that!?" Kyuubi demanded. She cupped his face with a shaky hand.

"your my baby brother... I'm sorry this will burden you but... I would and will die for you Kyu" she said, Naruto cried harder, his mother? Going to die? "Naruto... Be brave now okay, be brave for daddy and uncle Kyu, you hear... Me" she said her voice growing quieter and quieter.

Naruto nodded. She smiled and closed her eyes. She didn't wake up... No matter how much Naruto tried... She wouldn't.

Naruto could heard the police officers that surrounded his house whispering and one of the officers was getting ready to fire. Minato panicked he looked at the officer and back at Naruto he grabbed him just as the bullet hit. Piercing his father right through the heart.

"N-Naruto... I'm... So... Sorry. I love... You" he choked out before his body went limp. Naruto cried, why?! Why was all this happening!

"U-Uncle Kyu... I'm scared!" Naruto sobbed, he jumped on his uncle who was frozen, when the small boy jumped on him, his instincts took over he ran, he heard guns behind him. He was panicked and scared, then his uncle tripped, he was panting heavily and Naruto could see blood covering him.

"N-Naru... I'm sorry..." for the first time he saw his uncle crying. "... Remember what I taught you... And remember we all loved you... " he said he coughed up a lot of blood.

"U-Uncle... I don't want you t-to go..." he cried, his uncle have a shaky smile.

"how about I give you something to... To remember me... By?" he asked Naruto nodded, his uncle lifted a blood covered shaking hand and cut 3 whisker marks in either side of his cheeks... He had scares just like his uncle now. Although they hurt a little Naruto curled up in Kyuubis' arms and hugged him.

"g-goodbye... I'll... Miss you." his uncle said. They stayed like that until his uncles body went cold and the officers found him.
