Yugao and Naruto made it to Konoha just before lunch, walking into the village, the pair shows the guards the required documentation and are allowed entry into Konoha, Yugao led Naruto to the Hokage Tower, they walked past Ichiraku's where Hitomi, Midoriko, Lee, Sasuke, Hinata, Ino, Kiba, Shikamaru, Sakura, Neji and Hinata were having lunch.
Both Midoriko and Hinata stopped eating when they saw Naruto, or who they thought was Naruto, but the person was dressed in Samurai armor.
"Could that be N-Nii-san?" Midoriko asked herself, but she had to be sure.
Leaping from her seat and paying for her meal, Midoriko was out of the stand in a flash, Hinata quickly on her heels.
"N-Naruto Nii-san." Midoriko calls out, the blonde next to Yugao stopped walking and turns around, removing his helmet slowly. Midoriko's face absolutely lit up when she saw her brother.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked.
Midoriko's smile disappeared in an instant, Naruto Nii-san had forgotten her.
"I'm Midoriko Uzumaki, y-your sister. H-how could you have forgotten me, Nii-san?"
"I'm sorry, Uzumaki-san, but I am from Birikami, where I live with my parents, Fujiko and Tokugawa Fujiyama." Naruto says just as Hitomi and the others join Midoriko.
"Where have you been for nine years, you baka!?" Hitomi roared.
"Have we met?" the blonde asks, raising an eyebrow at the other blonde.
"Don't play dumb with me, Naruto! I'm your sister!" she yells.
"As I told her." Naruto said, gesturing towards Midoriko. "I am not from Konoha and my parents are Fujiko and Tokugawa Fujiyama." Naruto said before turning and walking away fro the group with Yugao at his side.
Midoriko and Hitomi were staring in shock at the retreating form of their brother who had just vehemently denied being their brother or even knowing them for that matter, both girl's hearts were broken, they knew that their Mother would want to know that Naruto was finally back in Konoha, but the question is: Why?
Yugao and Naruto head to the Hokage's office, the purplenette knocks on Minato's door.
"Come in." he says, Yugao opened the door and entered the office with Naruto on her heels.
"Hokage-sama, you have a special visitor." Yugao said in her monotone voice.
Minato looks up from his paperwork.
"Who is it, Neko?"
The cat masked ANBU stepped aside, revealing Naruto standing there, clad in black and green Samurai armor and two swords, one on his back and the other on his left hip, his sapphire blue eyes are cold as he looks at the Hokage.
"S-Sochi, y-you're-." he began, but he was cut off when his office door bursts open and Kushina charged into the room and ran right over to Naruto and hugged him tightly.
"Oh thank Kami, my sweet sweet Sochi has returned." Kushina sobbed loudly.
As he looked on, Minato saw that Naruto made no attempt to return Kushina's hug. Paying this no mind, Kushina continued sobbing into her son's right shoulder.
"I n-never th-thought I'd see you again, N-Naruto. Please, I know that we were all terrible to you all those years ago, but I've never given up looking for you."
The redhead's words sparked his memories, forcing Naruto to remember all the neglect and abuse that he'd suffered at the hands of these people.
"I remember, Kaa-san." Naruto said coldly.
Kushina froze at the cold tone of her Sochi's voice.
"Yugao-san snuck me out of Konoha and took me to a friend of hers, Fujiko Fujiyama. Together with her husband, Tokugawa they raised me with love, discipline and warmth, things I never got from either of you or my so-called sisters."
Minato glared at Yugao for a moment.
"Why have I been summoned here?" Naruto asks Minato.
"You need to enroll in the Ninja Academy and return to the compound and live with your-."
"I'll enroll in the academy, but as far as living with you and your family? No way I'm doing that, I'll stay in a hotel." Naruto says in a tone that left no room for argument or debate.
Just then, Hitomi and Midoriko also showed up at Minato's office, seeing Naruto again brought both happiness and sadness to the pair.
"Naruto, I want to see what you can do." Minato says.
"Fine, when and where?" Naruto inquires.
"Tomorrow, 9:00 AM, Training Ground #3." the Hokage announced.
Naruto left Minato's office, Midoriko, Hitomi, and Kushina quickly follow him.
"S-Sochi, please wait." said Kushina, her tone pleading.
"Yes?"
"A-are you hungry? You must be starving after such a long journey."
Sighing, Naruto turned around, smiling as he faced the trio.
"My Kaa-san always taught me to be gracious and never turn down hospitality." Naruto said as both Midoriko and Hitomi walk up beside him and each take an arm and they lead him to the Namikaze/Uzumaki compound.
After arriving, Kushina went into the kitchen to start cooking while Midoriko and Hitomi talked to Naruto.
"Please tell us about your life, Nii-san." Midoriko says, gently stroking his right arm.
"Yeah Naruto-Nii, Kaa-san, Midoriko and I have been so worried about you, not knowing whether or not you were alive or dead." said Hitomi.
Naruto tells Hitomi and Midoriko all about his life in Birikami with Fujiko and Tokugawa, Midoriko, for some reason asked Naruto if he had a girlfriend back in Birikami, to which he had answered no. For yet another unknown reason, Midoriko smiles and so does Hitomi. After dinner, which was miso ramen, Hitomi and Midoriko went to get ready for bed, leaving Kushina and Naruto alone together in the living room.
"So Sochi, if you don't mind me asking, what kinds of girls do you like?"
"Kaa-san, I don't like or prefer to date girls, I prefer experienced older women...such as yourself."
