AN: Okay here is Chapter 8 enjoy. Let me just say this, this story will focus on Naruto's life with the Loud family. There will be some chapters that go back to the Elemental Nations, but those chapters are ones that I feel necessary for the ending of this story. They won't be just random throwbacks to the Elemental Nations, they will have a purpose and meaning behind them.

Family A Dimension Away

Chapter 7: The Truth comes out (Part 1)

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, The Loud House, or anything I use...except the OC. I make no money or anything from this.

It had been 3 months since Naruto has been in this world, and as much as he hated to admit it he was enjoying it. Rita and Lynn were the parents he never had and he was starting to see them as that instead of caretaker or guardians. He open up to them and started to tell them more about himself, of course he left out his shinobi life, missions, chakra, and his childhood. It was mostly his likes, dislikes, favorite whatever, and hobbies. Some things he left out and of course they asked about his parents. When they did often said "I don't remember", "I don't want to talk about it", or just change the subject. The Loud couple respected his wishes and didn't push on the subject, but always told him they would be there to listen when he was ready. Another thing he was starting to enjoy was school. Sure they don't teach any cool jutsu or anything like that, but it was still good to go have fun and try to make friends. It was also a plus that all these kids didn't ignore him like when he was at the academy and long lectures. His mind did drift back to his friends and home in the Elemental Nations, but he always reminded himself he was stuck here for a while and to make the best of it. As for training, he had improved a bit. He could now make 3 Kage Bunshins (Shadow Clones), he made the most of this and had them do chakra control exercises when he could not do them. Of course he still did them as well to help improve faster and to help him not rely on them as much.

Currently Naruto was in his room studying the base of the seal he had made. He had finished the first 2 books Mari gave him over a month ago and was just saving up money to buy the Expert and Masters volumes, he just hope he could buy them and didn't have to trade again. He could study the seal since the Loud couple had to go to some important appointment and he was being babysat by a local teenager from the neighborhood.

"Okay somethings really not right here" Naruto said to himself as he looked at the seal. He was still new to Fuinjutsu, but from what he knew there was something strange about the seal. He didn't understand all the symbols and characters in it, but he knew the way they were place wasn't right or they shouldn't be there. He just didn't how or why. "Once I get the next two books and learn what these mean then maybe I'll figure out what's not right with this seal."

He was broken out of his train of thought when he heard someone closed the front door. He believed it must have been the couple returning from their appointment. Naruto decided to leave the seal alone for now and go greet the soon-to-be parents. It was something he had started to do over the past month and enjoyed it, so he hid the seal and books then went downstairs.

"Welcome back Mr. and Mrs. Loud" Naruto greeted happily. Both them were always happy when Naruto came to greet them when coming home.

"Thank you Naruto, it's good to be back" Rita replied with a large smile. She was still the same as always, only now her pregnancy was starting to show.

"Naruto we have some great news to tell you" Lynn said as he gestured for him to sit on the couch. Naruto, being curious, did and waited for them to tell them the great news. While he thought it might have something to with their baby, in the back of his mind he feared they might of "found" some of family.

"Well as you know, Ms. Grey hasn't had any luck finding your parents" Lynn started as he and Rita sat on both side of the boy on the couch.

"Also in the last two months Lynn and I had enjoyed having you around and you have become family to both of us" Rita added in. "We also want to help you any way we can, whether that be physical or emotional."

"So for the past month and a half me, Rita, and Ms. Grey have been talking" Lynn continued after Rita. "We had to go through a lot hoops and paperwork, but..."

Rita then pulled out some papers that was stapled together and handed them to Naruto. Naruto looked at the couple confused, until he started to read what the paper said on them. They were adoption forms, as he continue to read he saw the Loud couple had officially adopted him. Lynn and Rita simply watch as Naruto absorbed what was happening. Naruto stared at the papers with trembling hands, his mind was overcome with emotions. Happiness, joy, relief, excitement, and hope. However he felt fear, disgust, disappointment, and self loathe. He could finally have what he always wanted a family, parents that were around and loved him, also he would be having a younger sibling soon. However he felt like he didn't deserve any of it because he was lying to them, keeping important secrets from them, using them, and would eventually have to leave them. He was so lost in his thoughts he didn't notice the tears he was shedding.

"Naruto is everything alright?" A worried Rita asked. She and Lynn hoped the they didn't upset the boy and these were tears of joy.

Naruto breaking out of his turmoil of emotions, got up off the couch and face his new parents. "I can't believe you would do all this for me" he said in a shaky and quiet voice. "I don't deserve this" the young parents tried to say something, but Naruto interrupted them. "I have been lying to you, keeping important secrets from you, I've basically been using you. Now you want to make me a part of your family, your son." Naruto hoped he never had to do this, but if these people were will to adopted him and him their son then they needed to know the truth. "If you are serious about adopting me then, you need to know the truth about me. You see I'm not four years old, I'm sixteen and I come from a place call Konohagakure no Sato..."

Naruto then proceed to tell them his life story. How much pain and loneliness he had to endure growing up, as well as not having any friends. Explain what were shinobis, shinobi ranking, chakra, and jutsu were, as well as show them, tell them why, and how it was used. How he made friends after becoming a Genin and all the jutsus he learned. The mission he went on and people he saved, as well as the bonds he made with them. Finally he told them about the war he fought, all the times he was betrayed, what was sealed within him, and all the people he had lost.

The story went on for a good few hours, throughout it Lynn and Rita didn't interrupt him. They show some emotions throughout the story, most of them were shook, fear, and confusion. Once it was over, the parents looked at each other for a while processing what they just heard and saw. Part of them wanted to just say it was a crazy story he came up with to cope with being abandon, but when he showed them the Kage Bunshins (Shadow Clones) they knew what he was telling them was somewhat true.

"Naruto can you go up to your room for now" Lynn said with a look of utter confusion. "Rita and I need to process what we just been told, we'll call you back down in a few minutes."

Naruto saw Lynn had a unsure look on his face, he looked to Rita and saw she was much better. "I understand" he replied with a low voice. He had his head down as head upstairs towards his room. Once getting their Naruto started to pack up the seals, ink, brushes, and books into a sealing scroll. He put the scroll into his backpack and started climbing out the window. Half way through he looked back at the room one last time. 'I sorry about this Mr. and Mrs. Loud' Naruto thought. 'Even if you are still willing to have me as your son after all that, it's better if I just leave now. That way it won't hurt as much when I go back home. You two can raise your child happily without having to worry about me, goodbye mom and dad.' With that last thought, he climbed out the window and start walking down the street.

AN: That does it for this chapter.
