An: This is my first fanfic so reviews/suggestions would be helpful. So I can improve and grow what ifs for the community...much love! One more thing...Naruto was born 6 years before the Kyuubi attack. Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto! Enjoy ;)
Chapter 1: CHANGING OF IDEALS
We see a five year old boy with his mother at the park talking to each other.
"Hey hey Kaachan can i ask you something important?" "Yes what is it Naruto-kun," replied his mother.
"Ummm…. Ummm…. Can you make me a promise…Naruto asked nervously…
"why yes… i'll do anything for my little sochi, she replied lovingly.
"Can we stay together forever? Because I love my Kaachan and I feel like I would be lost without you…
Kushina starts giggling… Naruto slightly taken aback…starts to pout…"why is that funny?! I am being serious!
Narutos mother realizes Narutos true concern and reassures him that she will be there for him always…on one condition…"Naruto I will always be there for you if you promise to always be a good little boy. As you know my son… only good boys get to stay and have fun with kaachan!" Relieved at his mothers reply Naruto eagerly exclaims "Ok kaachan I promise and I NEVER go back on my promises like a true uzumaki!"
"That's my sochi! Now let us hurry home… Tsunade and Shizune are coming over for lunch."
"Mmm… are we having raman for lunch? I can't wait! His mother shot him a questioning glance…as if to say we have company coming too…quickly Naruto shouted "and of course seeing Bachan and Shizune-neechan is a plus too!"
Naruto and his mother made their way up the hill to their house. They entered to find Bachan and Shizune waiting for them.
"Hey Bachan, I'm glad to see you again…waved Naruto." How's My little gaki doing today? Is he having fun with his kassan?"
"Oi! I'm no brat!" Naruto exclaimed. Tsunade shizune and Kushina all say in unison :Kawaii!
Tsunade turns her attention to Kushina… Are you okay… you seem a bit tired these past couple days?"
"Yes i'm fine Tsunade… it's just that narutos just a handful sometimes that's know how children can be."
" Are you sure?! Let me scan you…it will only take a minute… "
Annoyed Kushina lets her scan her so that she will drop the questioning…" go ahead but im telling you im fine!".
Tsunade closes her eyes and begins to scan…within moments a Loud gasp startles everyone in the room…
" Tsunade-sama, what's wrong?! Well… Shizune nothing is wrong… it's good news actually." Well dont leave us in suspense! What is it?! They all shout… Tsunade smiles and gives Kushina a big hug and without further hesitation exclaims…" CONGRATULATIONS! You are pregnant!"
In disbelief and anger Kushina screams "WHHHHAAAAATTTTT!"
Naruto busy playing in the other room comes running…"Kaachan what's wrong did Bachan hurt your stomach,? Why are you holding it? Why are you yelling?" Still in shock Kaachan turns to NAruto and takes her feelings out on him. Naruto leave the grownups alone! Get out of my sight! One of you is enough already! Kaachan falls to floor crying…and Naruto instantly does the same, he doesnt understand what happened in the past five minutes from the walk home to now…Naruto tries to find the words behind the tears…" I am sorry Kaachan…i didnt mean to upset you i just want to help…I just…" before he can even finish his sentence Kushina gets up and slaps naruto across the face…
In shock and now anger Naruto screams "you're no different from Otousan." and runs to his room…
Naruto i'm sorry I didn't mean to… i'm sorry… Kaachan didn't mean it ! COme back! There is just alot going on right now!
All of Kaachans words fell unto deaf ears…NAruto could no longer here his mother…he could only hear the sound of his own sobs echoing in his room…
(Time skip few days later)
We can see a boy at the Sarutobi clan compound sitting next to an old man. "Hey Jiji," yes Naruto-kun whats wrong? Whats wrong with your face? Naruto lies… nothing is wrong i fell walking home…you know me always getting into things… Naruto gives a fake smile and laughs it off…NOt buying into his answer the old man sternly demands that he tell the truth. NAruto looks at the ground and then back up with tears in his eyes and explains that kaachan slapped him…he shares his confusion and hurt …" She is starting to act like Otousan now …she was all i had left…Naruto said in a sad tone.
"What do you mean kushina is starting to act like Minato questioned Hiruzen. Also why did Kushina hurt you ? said Hiruzen in an icy tone… ever since I could remember Otousan has always called me a disappointment and an accident….a disgrace to the family…I… I never knew why… so I tried to be a good boy but he just ignored me… or if I was doing something he didn't like he…he would hit me just for doing the slightest thing wrong…But he never did it infront of Kaachan…she never knew… but when she was gone he would… And now Kaachan is starting to act like him…I am now worried I am a disappointment to her too…everything was great until a few days ago and I have no idea why! Naruto threw his hands up and started to break down and cry again…
Ohh Hiruzen was pissed…. no pissed would be an understatement… he was LIVID. This boy was like his demanded an answer…he demanded justice! After calming down the old man reasked Naruto what exactly occurred that day… " what did Kushina do to you again…. said Hiruzen through clenched teeth as to not scare Naruto…
"Well um… Bachan and shizune-neechan came over for lunch and when Bachan saw Kaachan she asked if she was alright and then she had put her hand on Kaachans stomach…i thought she hurt her stomach so i asked her about it when i heard her scream… I was scared and just wanted to help. So I asked if she was ok and she got mad for no reason and slapped me hard.
"Jiji, am I a disappointment? All the anger that Hiruzen had suddenly vanished as he looked at the boy crying next to him…he started to guess what had been wrong with Naruto's mother…a baby was in the making! The old man thought to himself…why not share that with your son? Why hurt him?
"No Naruto you're not a disappointment, you are a wonderful boy who is always happy and caring and wanting to help others when in need… jiji said, as he patted the boys shoulders…With a sniffle and a smile, Naruto gets up and hugs Hiruzen he at least knows that somebody thinks he's worth something.
Suddenly the old man had an idea…"Hey Naruto-Kun. Do you know what you want to be when you grow up?
"Yes I want to be a ninja just like you Jiji," that made Hiruzen's hearts burst with joy and pride.
"The will of fire burns bright in your heart Naruto!"
What's the will of fire Jiji?
"Well you know the village is like a big family… So you should love and cherish it and stand up for the village because Love will eventually bring peace".
Naruto was surprised that could happen… to bring peace… with love.
"Yes Naruto-kun and the will of fire burns like the sun in your heart. I believe you can do many things when you grow up". The old man planned to help Naruto accomplish this.
Excited, Naruto told Jiiji ," I will become a ninja and protect the village with my life so I can bring peace to the village.
"Are you sure Naruto-kun it's not going to be an easy road ahead"?
" I can do it Jiji!
The old man looked at NAruto and told him…" If you work hard enough you can do anything you set your mind to!" Naruto smiled .
"Ok naruto it's getting late, it's time to go home…but you wont go alone… i'll go with you . I…I don't want to get hurt again for no reason. She owes you an explanation.
(Ten minutes later)
At Naruto's house, it's going to be ok, Naruto. I'm here with you, ok Jiji. As Hiruzen knocks they hear coming from inside as Kushina opens the door. Oh Hiruzen, why are you here at this time of night? Kushina, I'm here with Naruto who was at my house all day today and I was bringing him back home for dinner said Hiruzen in an icy tone. What are you talking about? Naruto has been in his room these past couple days only coming down for dinner. As she looks down and sees Naruto by Hiruzen's side, her face scrunches up in anger. NARUTO UZUMAKI, did you sneak out of this house kushina yelled in an angry tone. Uh no…no Kaachan I.. I told you and you just said yeah yeah go ahead.
Hey Naruto-kun why don't you go up to your room while me and your parents have a little chat,Ok Jiji I will. Ok Kushina can I come in and talk with you and Minato or will that be a problem. No it won't be a problem, just come In side and we can talk.
Hey Hiruzen, why are you here at this time of night? Not that i'm complaining or anything,Said Minato in a questioning tone. Oh I just came to have a little chat with you and Kushina. That's all as Hiruzens gives a fake smile and motions his hand to the couch, Can we talk over here? Sure why not as they all sit down and Hiruzen Starts talking.
"Well why are you treating your son like this Minato? I would have expected better from you". "And Kushina I viewed you like my own daughter". I'm disappointed in you for doing this to him. What are you talking about Hiruzen? " I don't have a son". What are you talking about,I'm talking about your son Naruto! Said Hiruzen with gritted teeth. I do not See that boy as my son. He was nothing but an Accident, What do you mean Accident Minato He's your own flesh and blood. And Kushina, what do you have to say about this! I…I love him but… what…Minato-kun says is true we weren't expecting Naruto." So abusing him is ok. He is both of yours, your own flesh and blood" Yelled Hiruzen.
"What are you talking about Hiruzen?... ask kushina in a quiet voice". I didn't mean to slap him a couple days ago, it was just my emotions getting the best of me. And you Minato Have you told Kushina that you've been calling your son an accident and a disappointment and hitting him if he did something not up to your standards." I…I knew already that's why I was taking him to the park and having fun with him so he did not dwell on it" said Kushina in a sad tone.
"What Did you say? I must have mistaken you, Kushina Hiruzen said in a deadly tone". I…I knew already that's why I was taking him to the park and having fun with him so he did not dwell on it. "I See both of you have lost all my respect and you both will have to work hard to get that back". "And if you land a single hand on that boy I will come back here myself and inflict the same punishment but much much much worse" said Hiruzen in a deadly tone. Is that a threat? `` Hiruzen said Minato in an Icy tone." No it's a promise Minato, I'm just trying to help you realize your mistake before it's too late". Minato just scoffed while silent tears went down Kushina's face. It's time for you to leave Hiruzen, said Minato."Ok Ok just remember my warning, stop doing this before you make a mistake you will regret for the rest of your life". As Hiruzen was leaving, none of the adults noticed the small boy on top of the staircase crying.
(The next day)
As we see Kushina knocking on Naruto's bedroom door, hey Sochi can I come in and talk. Yeah you can come in a quiet voice said on the other side of the door. "Ok i'm coming in hey what's wrong sochi why are your eyes red and puffy". Oh It's nothing Kaasan, I just accidentally scratched my eyes while rubbing them. I'm fine, so what do you need? "Well I am going to see Mikoto today and was wondering if you want to come with me and see your friend Itachi".
Oh Sure that's fine i'll go with you I haven't seen Itachi for awhile. "Ok great let's go but before we go what's wrong with you". There is nothing wrong with me im fine kaasan, "your Kaachan knows when her little sochi is lying". Sigh i'm fine I…I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night that's all promise.
"Ok if you say so just remember your kaachan is always here for you and loves you". Yeah, said Naruto in a quiet voice, are we leaving now. Alarm bells were ringing in Kushina's head because Naruto didn't scream I love you too kaachan like he usually does. But she just put that at the back of her mind for now, Ok lets go Sochi.
(At the Uchiha Compound)
"Hey Mikoto, it's been awhile since i've seen you", "Oh it's fine Kushina we are both busy with are little munchkins Mikoto said in a Giddy tone". As they both start laughing,"Oh Mikoto you're pregnant too wait too"? "O sweet kami you're pregnant as well,'' said Mikoto in a shocked tone of voice. It's just like last time as they both start giggling.
So how's naruto-kun doing? He seemed a bit down when I saw him. Sigh so it wasn't just me that noticed that. What do you mean about that Kushina? What's wrong, Tell me I'm always here for you. It's nothing I promise anyway how are you doing. Mikoto gave her a look that said you will tell me later, i'm fine just trying to relax because of the pregnancy. My little Itachi can't wait for his little sibling, he may not show it much but I know deep down he does. How did Naruto-kun handle your pregnancy, He…He.. um didn't have the time to give a reaction and he hasn't said anything because a lot has been going on. Well I'm sure he can't wait for his new sibling, yeah..yeah you're right I bet he's excited.
(Naruto and Itachi POV)
Hey Itachi can we go to your backyard, Itachi gave a raised eyebrow in response to Naruto's behavior. So Itachi, how have you been I haven't seen you for awhile, anything interesting happen. Well my mom is pregnant that's about it, how about you… "well just about the same, I found out last night". though I have a Dream for the future. And what is that, well I want to protect this village with my life and show peace and love to the village for peace. Wow never knew someone as dumb as you could say somthing so smart, Hey I am smart BAKI UCHIHA, Naruto gets a twitching eyebrow in response. Sigh anyway I agree with you,This world needs peace and an idiot like you will need me to help you to achieve that dream and make it a reality.
Thanks Itachi for being here for me, you are truly my best friend yeah yeah anyhow are your parents treating you? Uhh….what are you talking about Itachi everything is fine, Really they are hmmm that's interesting you usually want to stay by your mom when you're over but when you came over today you wanted to leave right away. Tch smart ass Uchiha, so what's wrong sigh…my Kaassan is Starting to act like my Otousan. Are you sure I thought she was nice unlike your father said Itachi as he spat the word father with Disgust. Yeah she was nice for a while but recently she has been snapping at me for no reason.
But it doesn't matter, I will overcome this and become strong. The life of a ninja is to endure so I will endure. Ok Ok wait are you really naruto he doesn't speak like this, grrrr people change ok.
