Wow, first fiction in over 7 years that I feel inspired to write and its for a story a deemed a failure.
Well, I recently lost my job, my sister got a divorce, and my mother got hospitalized... she got better, but all the stress is really getting to me.
I had been under the impression I had failed at this fiction, and I mostly blame the singing, and my lousy writing and scattered thoughts. The timeline for this thing sucks, I have read over it and realized how bad it was, and, It may partially be the negativity from those in my personal life, but I hated a good chunk of my work, and I say personal life, cause every review I read has been positive and nice, you are all good and nice people who have been really supportive.
No idea where I got the idea reviewers were evil, I blame youtube comment section jokes.
Well, hopefully I do just as good a job as before, if not better. Enjoy I guess.
Now for a retcon and ignoring the fillers... I feel like a real writer again.

Naruto sat within his room at the Namikaze estate, having been taken there by his father, using the hiraishin to avoid detection.
Naruto had been spending the last few days just enjoying the feeling of having a family, being able to learn about how his parents did love him, and even being able to see all sorts of pictures of his mother, and even go through the room they had set up for him.
He even got to read through some things his mother left for him, and even learned about the shadow clone in the seal of her, which they were creating a spell, seal, jutsu, whatever they needed to allow it to interact with Naruto as well.
After gaining magic and learning of Minato, when Sarutobi next visited him, Naruto surprised him with a complex sealing array that kept others from interfering with their meeting and was able to explain things to him.
Sarutobi and Minato decided that keeping his return secret was best, though as long as he came and left the usual apartment, it didn't matter where Naruto 'lived'.
So, Naruto has been having Minato hiraishin him between the two locations so he could live the way he was supposed to.
Naruto and Minato have found that when Minato uses the astral form, while still tied to his son's reserves, though charged by Kurama's, Minato could either have access to chakra or magic not both, and he was considered the middle sibbling, so he could freeze and blow shit up.
Unknown to the three, somewhere out there, there is a blond bomber that has gained a jealous hatred of them, and doesn't know why.
Naruto however, as he is, has trouble balancing the two energies, which causes them to clash on occasion.
Like when Minato tried to teach him the wall walking, and Naruto wound up hanging from a single foot cause he accidentally used magic instead of chakra in the other.
Sarutobi would still visit Naruto from time to time, bringing his stipend, which Naruto now knew came from his parent's accounts, and seeking advice and refuge with Minato.
These meetings had included talks about what he could do about the Uchiha coup, and later how to undermine the elder council when it came to their plan to deal with it.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=The Results=-=-=-=-=-=-=
As Minato and Sarutobi predicted, the elders went behind Sarutobi's back and gave Itachi a mission, and when Itachi was doing his mission, he found several Uchiha not within the clan compound.
A couple of his younger cousins and aunts, and most notably, his mother and brother.
As the young shinobi tracked them down, he found them in the Sarutobi clan estate, with some of the other clans' members, all women and children.
Hiruzen had secretly set up a parenting meeting, which wasn't odd, considering he had his young grandson spending time with the children as he and the mothers all talked over tea about parenting.
Itachi was actually at a loss, Hiruzen had set up a secret play date with the other clans, and must have worded it in a way so the mothers didn't tell others so that it would be a secret.
Itachi chose to report in about this development, seeing as he couldn't just go in and kill the others without fighting every other clan and the Hokage.
Hiruzen however, just smiled wider as he sensed the young man leave.
He had talked with Minato about what he could do, and they had come up with the plan to invite the ladies of the clans, the others were included so that he could deny favoritism, to a tea party.
He had phrased it so that the ladies believed that he was just an old man who was embarrassed to ask young mothers for help with Konohamaru, so the boy could enjoy time with others, and he didn't mess up the same way he did with Asuma.
The mothers all agreed to help and keep his secret so he wouldn't feel embarrassed.
The elders were left flat-footed and unaware, Hiruzen had vehemently insisted that things could be done peacefully, and without involving bloodshed, and so, when the elders became tired of his stubbornness, they went behind his back, though Hiruzen had a secret magic user, with premonitions and both a bijuu and Hokage mind, that told him when and how their plan would be acted on.
Hiruzen cheated, as Danzo would say, as all he had to do was allow Naruto to hold something of one of his teammates and he would be able to know their plan, premonition and empathy being his best powers, due to them being his and not Minato's or Kurama's.
And now, after everyone left, it took all of thirty minutes for the Uchiha women to come back and cry to him about their clan massacre.
So they were allowed to stay within his own clan home for protection, to grieve for their families, and to allow him to clean up the compound.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Back to the main cast=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Naruto, with Minato's help, has been doing well in school, and they were actually having an easy time figuring what to do about Kushina.
They already had the hard part, a piece of her soul, safely tucked away in the seal, they just needed the physical manifestation.
So Naruto used his own blood as a catalyst to give her flesh, while her soul fragment gave her form.
And so, all they had to wait for, was for Naruto to give enough blood to fill a human, which would take a good amount of time, even with Kurama enhancing his Uzumaki regenerative abilities.
Without proof of Itachi's actions, there being no witnesses to the act, and now even without any real manpower, the Uchiha coup, would be forgotten, the massacre blamed on an outside force, most suspecting the one who summoned the Kyubi the night it rampaged, who was already thought to be an Uchiha, who conspiracy theorists now believed to be a Senju.
Other than that one crazy guy who said the sneople who were to blame for everything.
Everyone just ignored him.
Itachi was relieved when he was told his mission was over, and removed from the records, being given under the table S-rank pay.
Hiruzen's advisers however, were completely unhappy with him undermining them, though they had no proof of how he did it, and couldn't even confront him about it due to the circumstances.
Naruto wound up making some friends, mostly through his premonitions, when they warn him that something bad was gonna happen.
Like that time when Hinata would forget her writing utensils, so he would bring extra.
He actually found out that she was having a stressful time at home with her personality clashing with the vast majority of her clan. Naruto became her shoulder to lean on and an ear for her to vent to, never judging her, and allowing her to let her hair down around.
Naruto had kept his magic secret from everyone.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Gonna skip to graduation=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Naruto had an easy time graduating, surprisingly.
Who knew having the fourth Hokage and a nine-tailed fox helping you train to control your chakra from an early age would be beneficial to your over all skill level?
After about half way through his schooling, Naruto and Minato managed to successfully create a physical form for Kushina's soul fragment, letting Naruto experience what it was like to have a full family.
They also tried to do the same for Minato, they succeeded to do it, although it permanently lowered Naruto's chakra or magic levels when he enters his body.
When Naruto cast the spell for the powers, he magically bound the three of them together, if Minato wants to be separate from Naruto, they can't access the bond that gives them magic, and both will be pulling from Naruto's own chakra reserves, so if Minato gets too far away from Naruto, he becomes a vegetable.
So, Kushina gets the entire house to herself before her boys come home from school.
Naruto had to use his magic to filter down his chakra a little to use the clone jutsu, but he passed with flying colors.
Mizuki had planned to trick Naruto, which failed when he passed, and left the man to attempt his own theft, which failed when Hiruzen was warned through Naruto.
Mostly cause the Author couldn't care enough to write him into his one real role within the actual canon of the story.
Naruto sat next to Hinata in the back of the class, waiting for Iruka to come in and assign them to their teams.
Both watched as a good portion of the class girls fawned over Sasuke, seeing as he is the closest most expect to get to a prince, it is expected.
Iruka will come in and yell at them to settle down soon, hopefully.
Naruto has actually been enjoying his schooling somewhat, considering his dad comes with him every day, and explains things better than every teacher, Iruka being the only one willing to go into detail when asked about something, and Sasuke being the only competition in scores due to who he has trained under.
Sasuke has stayed somewhat mellow since the massacre, vowing to aid his brother in hunting the one, or ones responsible for the massacre of their clan.
Naruto yawned as Iruka finally entered, shouting at the girls to settle down, preparing to give out orders and leave their growth to their future team leaders.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=Short Chapter to give you all something=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Sorry for the shortness, but I figured I would ask if you all think I should swap Hinata and Sakura, I have a good idea for either to be on both teams, so either or will not mess too much with the plot, and I figured I would ask if this is a good direction, and if you all would still enjoy this story.
I am trying to get back into the swing of writing, and plan to write a bit more for some other fictions, depending on when I get a job again I will be working on these in order to do something I enjoy again, and I even have some Gravity Falls crossover ideas, about three I believe.
Kinda put a poll on my profile if you would be willing to check it out, depending on the outcome, I might be able to write these more.
Thanks for being positive when I and most others in my life weren't.
I hope you all enjoy this.
