Last time, the Namikaze family was having a fun birthday party for Kushina. After the festivities, Minato got the entire guest to leave except for special few. Once they left, Minato gave Kushina one more present which was her son. After seeing her son after so many years of praying and wishing, she couldn't help but cry in joy.
Reg P.O.V.
Right now, Kushina was crying out loud as she finally held her son in her arms after 12 years of absents. While she was sobbing her eyes out, Naruto also couldn't help but cry a little since he always wondered what his mother was like.
He wondered if his mother was kind, tall, short, blond hair, brunette, strong so many things about her going through his mind when he was young. But now, he not only knows her face, he now feels her heart which was warm and other things that he never knew a mother had.
As Kushina cried, most of the audience couldn't believe what just happened.
Minato, who looked on couldn't believe how his son grew up. He thought that Naruto would be 12 years old, even with Kakashi explaining to him about Naruto earlier, but saw that his son was now a young man ready to leave home. He couldn't believe that the 1st time seeing his son, the resemblence he had with him was so close, but resembled more with Kushina.
Tsunade also couldn't believe what she was seeing she expected a 12 year old boy, but now seeing her godson as a handsome young 17 year old was amazing.
Jiraya couldn't believe that the guy who ruined his research on the girls hot spring, as well as almost cutting him in half was Minato and Kushina's son. But now, after seeing him here with Minato and Kushina, he couldn't believe he didn't notice it.
Anko, Shizune, and Yugao were completely surprised about this as well. For Yugao, she couldn't believe that she followed her sensei's long lost son. She should have known since he resembled both of them to some degree. For Anko and Shizune, they couldn't help but blush a bit since Naruto looked pretty handsome for his age. Not to mention, the clothes that he was wearing also made him look really good.
As Kushina continue to sob on Naruto's shoulder, Naruto gently hold his mother in his arms and decided to leave it like this for now, especially after 2 decades for him, he didn't mind if his mother held on to him for a while.
30 minutes later
After a while, Kushina began to relax on the crying. Minato sat inside the house waiting for Kushina to stop crying, which he couldn't blame her since he knew the connection between a mother and her child were. As he waited, for Kushina to calm down, everyone else already left to go home for the night.
Once Kushina cried after the 1st 10 minutes, Tsunade suggested that she would place Arika to bed then she and Shizune would go home.
Jiraya wanted to stay to get some answers, but Tsunade stepped in and whispered, "Leave them alone… this a family moment for them… so just drop it for now, ok." Once Tsunade convinced Jiraya, he left to get some sleep for the night.
Anko and Yugao left since they believed that it was only right for them to leave their sensei alone to reunite with her son again.
After a while, Kushina finally stopped crying her eyes out at to finally look at her son. She saw that he was almost as tall as her. His face was look kinda like hers, but had features of Minato as well. She looked to see his body was also strong. The clothing he wore also made him look very handsome. But the thing she was fixated with was Naruto's eyes. His eyes were the same as Minato's, strong, confident, strong-will, happy, and a lot more. After crying she finally spoke.
"I-I can't… be-believe that… all these years… I- I fi-fina-lly got you back… in- in my arms… and… so big too." Smiled a still tearing Kushina
"Yeah… will I'm glad that I finally get to see you just as much mom… I bet you got a lot of questions for me and so do I… how about we talk inside the house since it could be a while." Smiled Naruto
Both agreed and walked inside to see Minato leaning on the wall near the kitchen. Naruto was now able to see his father directly in front of him.
Kushina saw the looks that were on Minato and Naruto. She had her own emotional reunion with Naruto, but now she can see that both of them have yet exchange any at all. She decided to stand near the middle between them, but stayed closer to Naruto fearing that he would disappear yet again.
Both Naruto and Minato looked at each other. Both looked like they were internally having a conversation with each other. After a moment or so, they both started to walk to each other. Once they were an arm's length from each other, they looked at each other. At the same time, they both raised their right hand up to each other, but stopped near touching the other.
After a moment more, they both shook each other's hand, which Naruto spoke, "Um… it's nice to finally meet you… um… Father."
"The same with me… its good finally see you to." Smiled Minato
The handshake then turned into a hug, which both men just hug the other in a manly display of affection.
Kushina, on the sideline, smiled at the fact that both her husband and son were now officially reunited.
After the hug, Naruto and Minato separated from each other to look at one another again. Minato took another look at Naruto. He knew about Naruto almost looking like him from what Kakashi told him, but was amazed on how tall he is. Of course he also knows about Naruto's sudden condition on getting younger; when in fact his son is suppose to be 24 instead of a 17 year old.
"How about we go into the living room so we can have our conversation in a more comfortable place." Cheerfully said Minato
They walked into the living room, which Naruto admitted it looked pretty nice. He was such a hurry to hide once he got here that he not actually paid attention into the house interior. The living room was big and comfortable, with family photos on the wall.
There were 2 large couches that can seat 3 people across facing eath other. In the middle of them was a knee high coffe table. On the other side were 2 single seat chairs. On the wall on all the side was a fireplace. All in all, it was a nice setting.
Minato and Kushina took the couch near the large window. Naruto took the other one facing across from them. Kushina was sadden that Naruto didn't seat near them, but had to understand that this was an akward situation for all of them. Her thoughts were interrupted when Minato spoke up.
"So from what I can see… your about 17 years old when in fact your suppose to be 24 years old."
This caught Kushina by surprised, especially when Naruto nodded in agreement.
"Wh-what are you talking about Minato… I'll admit that he looks older than he is suppose to be but, 24."
Minato started to explain to Kushina about the Nami no Kuni mission that Kakashi just completed. He explained on the conversations that Kakashi and Naruto both had with each other, where Naruto told him that he is actually 24 year old, but somehow was started to get younger till he was 17 or 16.
Kushina couldn't believe what she was hearing. Her baby boy, who she only held for a few hours 12 years ago, was actually 24 years old and now gone back to being a 17 year old.
"I believe it had something to do with the "being of light" that brought me here." Said Naruto
Naruto spoke to his parents that the "being of light" brought him here to this world, where he was actually raised in another world, which seemed to go about 2 times faster than this one. The deaging part was also probably from the "being of light" which is why he looks like now.
Kushina looked at her son, can't believing her son was now a fully grown man, even though he doesn't look like it.
"Well… how about we skip all that talking about the "being of light" some other time. What I want to know is how you have been doing since I'm curious on how my son has been doing while growing up." Smiled Minato
Kushina was glad the converstation changed since she was just as curious about it. Naruto decided to tell them about his stuff that got transported here and that he can show them since he has pictures.
They all went upstairs to the spare room to see Naruto's stuff. They were amazed on what he had, but Naruto got only his laptop, a UBS TG drive that was mark with memories, USB cables, along with his projector to show them on how he grew up and speaker so they can here.
Once they got back down stairs, Naruto was glad that this village had a power outlet since his laptop from Nami no Kuni was already running out of power since Nami no Kuni rarely had an outlet for him to recharge his laptop.
Once he plugs up everything, Naruto began to work on his presentation on his past, while Minato and Kushina couldn't believe on what amazing technowlegde he had. Minato knew about the computer and small items, but he was surprise to see a minature projector since the one's Konoha has was about 2 double that size, along with sound applifing stuff.
Once Naruto got everything set up, he decided to show them his pictures when he was just a chilld 1st.
Morning
The sun was rising as Konoha started to make its morning routine. In the Namikaze compound, Kushina started to wake up from where she was sleeping. She had slept on the couch since it was late last night when she slept.
As she woke up, she saw that she was in her living room, when she saw that everything was the same as when she 1st woke up. She suddenly got up from the couch to see that everything was actually the same. As she woke up, she then remembered about the events from last night. She slowly started tocry, thinking that holding her son, which he has come back home was just a dream. As she was leaving the living room, she didn't notice that at the corner of the room was a laptop on top of a stereo speaker.
She decided to go to the kitchen to wash up her face so that Minato doesn't see her face in tears. Just as she was going to the kitchen, she heard 2 voices. The 1st one was Minato since she knew him pretty well. The 2nd was one that she remembered in her dream. She quickly walked out to the backyard.
As she stepped out, she saw that it was Minato sitting on one of the lounge chairs outside, which was facing the morning sunrise. On the other seat was another copy of Minato, except, his face was different, along with the fact he was a little less tall than Minato and that he was younger. It was then she knew that it wasn't a dream from last night.
Naruto and Minato were having a long awaited father/son conversation with each other when they heard someone walking out of the estate. They both turned to see that it was Kushina stepping out. They both stood up to greet her.
"Good Morning Kushina" smiled Minato
Naruto nervously smiled, "Um… morning mom."
They then both notice tears coming out of Kushina's eyes, which they were worried about. It was then that they saw her ran towards Naruto. Naruto was surprised when his mother just leapt into his arms and hugged him tight, while she was crying.
Minato and Naruto were both confused for the moment, until realization hit them. As if they were readying each others mind, they now knew why Kushina was hugging and crying at Naruto. They both think that Kushina thought finding Naruto and bringing him home was all just a happy dream.
Naruto was glad to know that his mother cared for him so much. Naruto then wrapped his arms around Kushina to give her just as much of hug that Kushina was giving him.
After 5 minutes of crying, Kushina finally looked at Naruto. Minato then came behind Kushina to say that it was alright for her to cry for 1 of the 2 most important people in their lives.
"So what should I make for breakfast…? I'll make anything for this special occasion." Smiled Kushina
"That's sound good Kushi, but we have other things to attend to unfortunately." Answered Minato
"Like what?" question Kushina
Just then, they heard, "Mommy… Daddy… Good Morning… Where are you?" yell out from the estate.
Everyone turned around to see that Arika walking outside the house into the backyard. For Arika, she saw her parents outside and went to them. It was then that she realized that her parents weren't alone. She saw a young man standing along side with them. She saw that the teenager looked almost like her dad. She was wondering on what's going on.
"You just answered your own question Kushina? Someone needs to tell her about her brother and that should be you since something like this should come from her mother." Answered Minato
Arika was shocked to here that she has a brother. She yelled out cheerfully, "Mommy is going to have a baby… I'm going to have a baby brother!"
They heard Arika say that, which isn't surprising. Minato then said, "Kushina… Naruto and I will get ready to leave for the emergency council meeting this morning."
Naruto then turned to his father and said, "I think I should wear my Marine Core dress uniform to prove the story that you are about to tell them." Which Minato nodded in agreement
Minato and Naruto went to get ready to go to the Hokage tower, which Kushina decided to use this time to explain to Arika about Naruto. She, of course, is also disappointed on not seeing Naruto in his dress uniform, since she has only seen his childhood photos when he was 9 or 10 years old.
