Naruto stepped out in the street and sniffed at the air. It was a beautiful spring day and he was determined to enjoy it. He waved at a group of women who stood across the street eyeing him.

"Hi Naruto! Congratulations!" They called, making their way towards him.

He was used to women approaching him. It had been happening ever since he came back from the fourth war and even more intensely after he was named the next hokage. After years of chasing Hinata without any results, he had thought about what it would be like to be with another woman, but that always ended up going no where. And he found himself back at home alone in bed, dreaming about a woman with blue black hair and white eyes.

Now Naruto thought again about what Sasuke said earlier. It had been over ten years and he did need to move on. Maybe he should actually go out on a date. He started to rub the back of his head, and then he ran smack into something.

He looked down at a ten-year-old version of himself sitting on the ground. Or it would have been him at ten… if his spikey blonde hair were shaved into a Mohawk and he wore a black sweat suit with a pink flipped collar.

Naruto shook his head. Had he fallen into a genjutsu? He leaned forward to inspect the boy on the ground. But the boy scooted back, a mixed look of apprehension and surprise plastered on the kid's face. Naruto reached out to touch the kid and make sure he was real. The boy's large blue eyes opened up even wider, and he scrambled up and away from Naruto, disappearing into the crowded street.

Naruto asked one of the women around him. "Did you just see that boy?"

The woman laughed. "What boy?"

Naruto waved absentmindedly at her. "Never mind. Excuse me."

He started to move through the crowd until he caught sight of the back of the boy's head. He shouted, "Wait!"

The boy turned and spotted Naruto coming, and then he took off again, this time with Naruto frantically following after him. "HEY! Stop that boy!"

Naruto was yelling at anyone who would listen. Eventually some nearby jonin grabbed hold of the boy's collar. It took two of them to keep the kid from kicking and punching his way out of their grasp.

The boy yelled, "Put me down! Put me down! Do you know who I am? I'm Boruto Uzumaki!"

Naruto stopped in place. He had seen this scene before. Almost twenty years ago when he used to pull pranks around the village. "Am I dreaming?"

"No. No, you're not dreaming." Kakashi said resigned, as he stepped up next to Naruto.

Naruto turned to acknowledge his teacher. "Oh Lord Sixth, I didn't see you. So… you see that boy too? This isn't a genjutsu?"

"No. I'm afraid not." Kakashi said. "That's Boruto –your son."

At that moment Hinata and Himawari appeared out of nowhere. The ten-year-old girl punched the two jonin in the stomach, surprising them and sending them flying. The men dropped Boruto who was caught by Hinata and swiftly whisked away.

"I thought she was going to let me handle this." Kakashi growled under his breath.

But Naruto had lost all of his common sense at that point. He roared in frustration, transforming into tailed beast mode. Two enormous fully formed chakra hands reached out and grabbed Hinata, Boruto and Himawari from mid air. The two children struggled, but Hinata did not flinch. She allowed Naruto to bring her back towards him and then set her facing him on the ground.

Confused by her mother's choice to surrender so easily, Himawari looked up at Hinata with large white eyes. "Mom? Let's go!"

But Hinata only put Boruto down, letting him fall to his feet. The blonde boy echoed his sister. "Mom? Are you ok?"

Naruto mouthed the words, "Mom", now understanding the situation fully. Sasuke had said Hinata was traveling with two others. A young girl who looked like her. And a male… which must have been the blonde boy. What was his name? Bor-u-to.

"Naruto. I can explain." Hinata started.

Naruto had transformed back. His blue eyes not angry but full of shock and pain. All he could do was ask, "Why?"

"Maybe we should go inside." Kakashi suggested. "Talk about this somewhere less public."

This lit the match. Naruto turned on Kakashi in a rage. "You knew didn't you?! You knew from the very beginning that she didn't die that night! When I asked you where you went, you claimed that you were out searching for her body. You let me believe she was dead… And you knew she was pregnant… AND YOU LET HER LEAVE THE VILLAGE WITHOUT TELLING ME!"

Kakashi sighed and said, "I didn't have a choice, Naruto…"

"Oh you had a choice old man! You could've told me at anytime during the last eleven years that I had two children growing up in the world without me!" Naruto was snarling at Kakashi, his face looked more fox then human.

"Naruto. Let me explain. Don't be mad at Lord Kakashi…" Hinata broke off as Naruto glared down at her with pure hate.

"You took the one thing from me that you knew meant the most. You were my family –they are my family! There is nothing you can say to me that makes this right!"

Himawari and Boruto ran in front of their mother trying to protect her.

"Don't you ever talk to my mom that way. You jerk!" Boruto yelled at Naruto and he began punching and kicking at his father. Naruto did not do much to prevent his son from whaling on him. He just continued to stare icily at Hinata, who had tears streaming down her face.

That is when Sasuke appeared. He snatched Boruto off of Naruto and set the kid back with Hinata. Then he pulled at his friend until Naruto was following him out of the street. He turned back to Kakashi and Hinata and said, "just give him some space. He'll see you when he's ready."
