Chapter 14: Who is Kurama?
Thank you for the reviews. This chapter is relatively short, but it explains a little bit of Kurama's background.
A cold burst of air brushed against her face when opening the door. She ran her slender fingers against the smooth coated wall in search of the light switch. Upon finding it, she flicked it on, and a slight buzz came from the ceiling fan.
Some nice sake would soothe her mind and this turmoil she was going through. Naruto laid heavily on her mind and she questioned whether she did the right thing or not. Clearly, she knew the answer but what could she possibly say? Do? It was partially her fault for Naruto's outcome and Kurama was right. It was her and she knew it. But how could she let go of him? She loved him from the very depths of her heart. Naruto looking like Nawaki did swindle her emotions and caused her to overlook somethings, but Naruto was his own person.
Why should she carry this burden alone? Wasn't Jiraiya responsible as well? She scoffed. The man wasn't really keen with Naruto and it was obvious since he chose to distance himself from him and her! She knew what she was getting herself into when adopting Naruto, but couldn't he look past that? If Naruto had a proper man to raise him, then maybe things would have turned out differently. He had a mother, now all he needed was a father figure. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she remembered the look Naruto gave her. His eyes had such a hateful look to them that she really believed he would kill her.
"What are you thinking about?" She said to herself wiping the tears. "He clearly loves you."
As she made her way into the room, her heart sunk to the bottom of her stomach when someone wrapped their arms around her waist. She quickly turned around and took a glimpse at the person before she shouted, "Naruto!" Suddenly, her eyes widened, and her heart stopped for a second.
"How are you doing, Tsunade?"
"H-how did you get in here?" Tsunade stuttered, backing away from the long red hair man.
Kurama smirked as he closed the door and locked it. "I just wanted to see how the "mother" of my child is doing? After all, aren't we co-parenting?"
The blonde woman balled her fist, and tried to land a punch at Kurama, but the man caught it, and twisted her arm behind her back. Tsunade let out a soft yelp then she gritted her teeth when Kurama pushed her against the wall.
"Let's not resort to violence." Kurama said, showing her a sharp razor knife from her kitchen draw.
Letting go of her, he walked over to the wooden desk and took a seat on the burgundy chair. Smirking, he beckoned Tsunade to take a seat on his lap. "Come on Tsunade," He smiled devilishly. "Hasn't it been a long time since Jiraiya has touched you? I can show you what it feels like to get handle by a real man."
Tsunade rubbed her wrist and did not budge. She was examining the man and she wore a perplexed look. She had seen pictures of him, but now that she was face to face with the man, she would not deny it. Naruto looked like a mini him. Their facial features were quite uncanny and even their facial expression and movements were quite similar.
"Like Naruto, you should know I'm not patient." Kurama said coldly. "Come on. I know there are a lot of questions you have for me. I'll entertain you."
"Kurama, leave. Now!" Tsunade growled. "You have no business here and if you don't go, I will call the cops."
"Don't worry. It'll be enough time to slit that throat of yours." Kurama said, sliding his index finger against the sharp blade. Tsunade unintentionally flinched when she saw the blood seeped through his finger and the way his eyes looked at it before they directed their attention to her.
She swallowed the lump in her throat as an image of Naruto came to mind when he was younger. Slowly, she walked towards him and sat in the seat in front of the desk. Kurama smirked.
"You're not so bad looking, Tsunade. In fact, you're actually cute." He said, his eyes focusing on her chest.
Tsunade felt exposed and humiliated that she covered her chest and her cheeks turned red. "Y- She swallowed the lump in her throat. "Y-you and Naruto. You're related, aren't you?"
"Bingo."
Her breathing slowed down, and it felt as if someone punched the life out of her. During their investigation, there was no documentation about Kurama's father, and she would have never guessed how close Naruto and Kurama were in the family tree. That would have explained the similarities.
"How close in the family tree?" Tsunade whispered.
"Take a wild guess." Kurama replied, smiling cunningly. Tsunade could sense he was getting a rile out of this, but it would be a lie if she didn't say she was curious. The man was being quite cooperative, and he clearly had the upper hand. "But for every wrong guess, I get to cut off a finger."
The color drained from Tsunade's face and when Kurama saw that, he let out a dark laughed. "I'm just teasing ya. Go ahead, baa-chan."
"B-brother."
Digging through Tsunade's shelf, Kurama glimpsed back and smiled. "Wrong. Try again,"
"Father."
"Technically, I am his father but you're almost close." If Tsunade didn't know any better, she would have found the man to be quite soothing and encouraging to the ears. After pulling a box she had stashed on one of her book shelves, he sat back on the seat and hummed. "Awe. You didn't open the present I gave you? I figured you would have liked it."
"What are you to Naruto?" Tsunade said, getting visibly upset.
"Feisty, aren't we?"
Tsunade shot up and slammed her fist onto the table. "I'm done with your games and I- Her eyes watered, and she dropped to her knees as her hand was pinned to the table. She chewed on her bottom lips to suppress the pain.
"Get up, Tsunade." Kurama demanded. "I'll even help you."
Kurama grabbed her by her underarm and planted her on the chair and scooted it closer until her knees hit against the desk. Tsunade trembled when she saw the knife piercing her hand. Blood slowly made its way out that she had to take a deep breath to control her breathing, otherwise she may have just fainted.
"Calm down when you're speaking to me." Kurama said, placing his finger against the knife handle. Every time he touched it, she let out a soft whimper which were music to Kurama's ears. "So, do you want to continue to take a wild guess, or would you like for me to tell you?"
Tsunade was stubborn and she refused to reply to such a monster. Kurama hummed as he lifted the box and stared at the game, he had prepared for her. Pouting, he glanced at Tsunade. "And I spent so long making this."
With her left hand, she went to remove the knife from her right hand when Kurama grabbed it and squeezed it tightly. "Tsunade, you should know I enjoy inflicting pain on others and right now you're turning me on. I didn't come here to kill you today. All I wanted to do was talk to you, but if you push my buttons any further, I'll be sure to make your death slow and fun." There was no emotion in his words and his eyes were void of any life. "Besides, if you were to die then I'm sure Naruto is going to have a lot of hell, especially with that bastard who didn't even help you raise him."
The tears she had been holding back for so long finally came out, and she nodded. "Y-yes. Okay."
"Thank you." He said, removing the knife from her.
Tsunade held her hand and gritted her teeth as she looked at the man who was focusing on the board game. "So, have you figured it out yet?"
"Uncle. You're his uncle."
His lips tugged up slightly, and he grinned. "Hai!" He sang. "I'm Naruto's oji-san. A pleasure to meet you."
"H-how?" There were little sweat beads forming on her forehead. "That's not possible! We searched every relative he had and none of them pointed to you."
"Father was a very discreet man." His upper lip twitched violently. "He had mother wrapped around his stubby fingers, so you get the point." All of this left Tsunade confused and Kurama saw the look on her face. "Father was a very rich man who owned a couple of businesses in Uzushiogakure and Konoha. He and his wife moved to Suna to expand his business and that is where he met mother." Kurama replied, staring at the ceiling. "They hooked up and had me, his first child."
"So, you're a bastard child," Tsunade smirked.
Kurama glanced at her and smiled. "I've heard it all growing up, Tsunade. Mother was obsessed with father and to this day I still don't know why. He wasn't a good-looking man, and he had a personality to match, but yet, he still managed to get two bitches." His tone turned dark. "Would you like to hear about me?"
Her silence confirmed it.
"Mother wasn't rich, but she was a beautiful woman who caught the attention of most men and women, so it was only natural for that bastard of a father to be attracted to her. Well, within a year of the affair, surprise-surprise, mother announces she's pregnant with me. That man always wanted to have children, but he and his wife could never have one… for now." He chuckled. "So, he was excited but paranoid. He was a businessman who supposedly had a perfect life. How would it look if everyone knew he had a child out of marriage? Naturally, he told mother not to put his name on the birth certificate and the stupid wench listens because she's so in love."
"B-but how did you turn out this way?"
"I've always been this way, Tsunade. Please don't interrupt me." He glared at her and that made Tsunade shift uncomfortably in the seat. She glanced down at her lap and saw her pants were stained with blood.
"Anyways, Akako founds out and of course, she's not happy, but to cut a long story short, father persuades her to let my mother and I live with them. With all the money father had, wouldn't it have made sense to just buy mother her own home but no? He had had his reasons why. The day we entered the Uzumaki household, our fate was sealed. Father regretted having a child. He hated the way little babies cried when they got fed up. He hated how foul they smelled when they shitted on themselves and he hated the mood swings it put mother in. So, he put us in the tiniest room in the back of the house and the only time he visited mother was when he wanted to have sex, regardless if she wanted it or not.
Tsunade shivered and she gazed at him with a look of sympathy. The man was focused on the game that he hadn't seen the look she gave. "Father became a raging alcoholic who beat mother, his wife, and I every time something went wrong. Mother was so in love that she didn't mind, and I had gotten used to the beatings that I didn't care. That's when I knew something was wrong. When he left the room, I would stand by mother's bedside and just watch the bruises on her body swell up. There was something fascinating about it and it made me feel such glee. I was four at the time when Akako gave birth to my sister, Kushina. Father was not happy about her pregnancy and forced her to get her tubes tied afterward. Soon, he let us out and we all ate as a family. Akako hated mother, and mother hated Akako and soon she began to hate me. She resented having me once father kept blaming her for having a child. Then Akako began to hate me too because I was so much better than Kushina. I was the son who got all A's, and was never troubled at school despite the situation that happened at home, but what do they know?" Kurama spat turning his head. "I was mocked constantly at school for not having a father, but it's not like I cared. I just wanted to watch all of them bleed to death. Kushina was the only one who didn't hate me. She always clung to me and gave me hugs every time. Ha. Such a shame. She wanted to love her brother, but I wanted to hurt her like everyone else."
"Kurama-nii, I love you so much!" Kushina said, wrapping her arms around her oldest brother. The boy pushed her off, but the girl only stood up and tackled him.
Sighing under his breath, he grabbed her by her hair and yanked her off. "That's enough!" His words were sharped for an eight-year-old that it almost made Kushina cry.
"Despite doing everything to her, she always stuck to me like glue." Kurama said bitterly. "Father's alcohol problem turned into a drug issue and things were not looking good. His business failed, he lost his money, car, and soon house. None of his family chose to help him, but who could blame them? He was a bastard. The beatings continued, worse than before and eventually Akako had enough, and she left with Kushina. Mother thought she had won now that she had a father to herself, but the damage was already done, and he was no longer the "man" she met. Then when I turned ten, I confessed to mother."
"Mama, I believed there's something wrong with me."
Yui raised her eyebrow slightly when Kurama entered the small kitchen. "What are you doing in here?" She threw the lit cigarette on him and he brushed it off.
"Mama, I don't think I'm normal." Kurama said, walking close to her.
"Of course you're not normal! You should have never been born!" She spat. "You're giving me a headache! Get! Now!"
Sighing, Kurama pulled the chair from the table and sat on it. "Mama, I'm serious. I haven't been normal for a long time. Blood excites me and I just killed Wendy's dog." He held his cheek that stung.
"Why aren't you listening? I told you to get! Get out of here!" Yui screamed. "It's your fault why things are like this! If you were never born, then maybe your father would have loved me, and I wouldn't be in damn poverty. It's because of you!"
"Having a child is your responsibility, not mine. I didn't birth me. You did. It is your job to take care of me, not the other way around." Kurama replied with a stoic tone.
"I was always aware and smart for my age, so it was only natural I caught on to things quickly, but no matter how smart I was, my physique slowed me down."
Tsunade's eyes widened when Kurama held up a card that revealed a small Naruto. "Do you think Naruto's the murderer?" He smirked.
Kurama flipped through the pages of his textbook to find the answer to his question. Right now, he was doing his homework and he wanted to complete it before 3 PM. It was a Saturday and he had been invited to a party. Usually, he would have not cared to go, but he wanted to try a little experiment on the kids and adults there.
The door outside caught his attention, but that didn't sway him away from his work. It was none other than his mother. She was once a beautiful woman, but she no longer looked like herself. She was nothing but skin and bones and her hair was brittle and snapped off with one tuck.
The eleven-year-old boy continued to do his homework, unaware that his mother was easing her way towards him. Kurama was small for most children his age. Some of it was genetics and the other was not having a proper meal. His mother sold her body for food and money, but there was still barely anything in the house to eat. When she didn't feel like being a mother, she would starve the young boy and he had to go out to look for food. But by doing that, Kurama discovered that he had a natural charm that con people into believing he was a friendly and smart child. The older woman adored him, and they would always let him in if Yui had kicked him out of the house or if he begged. Having this charm was also a curse as he knew who to stay away from. There were a bunch of weirdos in his area, and he needed to grow bigger and strong so no one will ever hurt him again. He didn't want to be subject to humiliation again. If it was anything, he wanted to be the humiliator.
Kurama snapped his head towards his mother who had placed her hand on his shoulder. "What is it? I'm busy." He didn't have time for her and whatever issue she was going through. He hated having a mother like her. He hated this poor lifestyle. He hated being looked down too. "Why aren't you out there fucking your clients?" He scoffed. "There's no food here. God, you're so humiliating." He said, snapping the pencil in half.
"Who are you fucking?"
He raised his eyebrow slightly and glared at her. Kurama was quite aware of what fucking was. He had seen it so many times and its not like she cared who she fucked in front of him.
"I'm trying to do homework! Leave me alone!" He said brushing her off.
"Why did Wendy tell her mother she's pregnant by you!" Yui screamed at her son.
Kurama's lip twitched. "Wendy died a year ago. So, I don't know what you're talking about."
That's right. Wendy had died a year ago. The poor girl "fell" from the stairs and splattered her head all over the concrete floor. Cause of death was considered accidental. Kurama smiled as he vividly remembered that day.
"We don't need another you in this world! You're just like your fucking father. You fuck fuck fuck! Fuck this! You fuck that! And you don't care." She sobbed. "He planted a child in me then left. Fuck fuck fuck!"
"It's your own damn fault! For fuck sake, there's condoms and abortions you imbecile. You wanted a fucking child by him and here I am. Deal with it." He shot her a glare.
"She was such a shameless woman."
"Kurama!" Yui shouted.
"What! I'm doing homework! Aren't you tired of living this poor life? Let me do my homework so I can get out of this fucking dump you dumb bitch."
Yui shoulders trembled and before Kurama could react she threw him to the floor, and he hit his head against the cabinet. "I'll be damned if you ever think about getting another bitch pregnant." She said hovering over him. "I'm not going to let you ruin someone else's life like you did mine."
Kurama let out a loud cry and Yui smiled. "I'm only helping you sweetie."
"She stomped and stomped until I fainted." Kurama said, placing down the card.
"The reason you never had a child of your own is because of a testicular torsion." Tsunade grimaced.
"I'll let you slide for talking out of turn, but yes. Because of the wench, I can't have any children. She left me there for hours on that dirty kitchen floor and by the time she took me to the hospital, it was too late. But do you know what they did?" Kurama questioned, tapping his finger against the table. Tsunade remained silent. "They did nothing. She took me home without any questions and they left me in her care. Because of her, I had to repeat grade six." He shrugged. "I killed her. I injected heroin into her every time she got high and finally, she overdosed and died."
"You had a rough upbringing," Tsunade said. "I-I'm sorry that happened to you."
"Are you really? Or were you secretly wishing mother had the guts to kill me?" Kurama smirked. "They ended up putting me into the system, got adopted, etc. etc. now I'm here."
"What about Kushina? Your sister?"
"Oh, the last I heard she got into drugs, husband was abusive, and she ended up committing suicide when she found out he died."
"D- did you know she had a son?"
"Did it looked like I care?" Kurama arched his eyebrow. "Selfish thing really. With no family to turn to, she took her life and left her son to the dark system."
"Do you believe suicide is a selfish act?"
"Is it not? But who am I to speak on it? I've encouraged some people to take their life." Tsunade squeezed her fist and trembled. "It was only a few days after the adoption is when I discovered that I had actually adopted my sister's son. You know, we are quite similar."
"He's not!" Tsunade snapped. "He's nothing like you!"
"Oh, that's where you are wrong Tsunade. That tainted Uzumaki blood runs through our veins, and he and I are entangled in this life whether you want to believe it or not."
"Why would you want to do this? After your horrible childhood, why did you treat those kids the same way you were treated? Why did you treat Naruto like that?"
"It was fun."
Tsunade's face turned red, and she exploded. "Fun! Torturing and killing children is fun? You were supposed to be their protector! They counted on you and you failed them!"
"Failed them?" Kurama snapped. "What about the teachers? Social workers? The neighbors? They failed those kids, and you know it! Those teachers saw the marks, but they didn't report them. Those old people saw the black eyes Hana had, but they chose to be quiet."
"You should have protected them!"
"Like how they protected me?"
Tsunade sat down and held her hand. "This is all because of the way you were treated. T-they system was wrong, but you had an opportunity to change your life and those around you."
"No, Tsunade. Don't get it wrong. I don't hate the system and I don't hate what has happened to me, because who would I be if those things never happened?" There was a sick smile that formed on his face that made Tsunade inch back. "I enjoy my lifestyle very much and if I were to be reborn, then I'll do it. All. Over. Again." He said, smiling. "Talking about this is making me so excited, Kurama said standing up. Tsunade tried to back away, but Kurama was already behind her. She stopped breathing momentarily when she felt something hard poked against her backside. "Look at the game," He whispered in her ear.
Kurama grabbed her by her blonde hair and forced her head towards the board game. She sobbed uncontrollably. "Ne, why are you crying? You already knew. Naruto killed Akari. Naruto killed Anko. Naruto killed Kin. Naruto killed and killed and killed."
She closed her eyes tightly as he bent her over the table and grabbed onto her waist. "Now-
His alarm sounded and he took out his phone. "Ah, it's already time to leave." He said, shoving the phone back into his pocket. "Maybe next time," Kurama said smacking her bottom. "Can't wait."
Once the door closed, Tsunade dropped to the floor and cried hysterically.

No matter how many times he tried to stop the tears pouring down, he couldn't. This reunion was long overdue, and the heavens knew it. It seemed that faith tried its hardest to stop him from meeting the first person he'd ever adored, admired, and possibly even loved, his Kurama. Whatever name they gave him, he would always be his Kurama-nii.
After a while, the tears stopped, and he wiped his eyes until they stung and turned red. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat when a rich and creamy fragrant wrapped itself around him and a warmth radiated on him. Turning his head slowly, he froze as his deep blue eyes met a pair of violet-blue eyes.
"Tch. Why are you crying?"
Hearing his voice made the goosebump on Naruto's arms rise. It had been such a long time since he heard Kurama's voice. It was like a calmness that made him feel at ease.
Kurama suddenly heaved over and held his stomach tightly. "Baka!" Naruto shouted tightening his fist. "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?"
"I know and I'm here," Kurama replied getting up slowly before ruffling the young boy's hair. "Happy Birthday, Naruto."
Naruto wrapped his arms around the man, and he couldn't be any happier. There were so many things he wanted to ask Kurama and so many things he wanted to share that he didn't know where to begin.
"You've grown quite a bit," Kurama pointed out. "Ah, and you're even cute," He said, pushing Naruto back to examine his face. Kurama pinched his cheeks and pulled it. "I see you're using your looks to your advantage," He laughed as he finally let go of Naruto's cheeks that had turned red.
A small smile plastered on Naruto's face and he nodded. "Yes, I have been. I learned from the best, didn't I?"
"Come, come," Kurama said, walking towards the living room. "I see you're eager to tell me everything."
Naruto nodded his head and quickly followed Kurama to the living room.
That night Naruto spent the entire time telling Kurama about his adventures and his first kill that Kurama didn't have a word to say. He only nodded and smile when Naruto would move in an animated motion and touched his hand every few seconds.
Kurama reassured him that he was real and present and that made Naruto happy.
"You've gone on quite an adventure," Kurama said, impressed.
Although he had observed the boy from time to time, Kurama was surprised to hear about his adventures he had not known about. It reminded him of when he was younger, and he couldn't help but watch Naruto. Looking back, the resemblances he shared with his sister were a perfect match. Thank god Kushina and her husband's genes were strong
Naruto stopped talking when he noticed Kurama looking at him and how his lip would twitch every so often. That meant Kurama was in deep thought and Naruto couldn't help but watch in awe.
"What are you thinking about, Kurama-nii?" He asked, tilting his head to the side cutely.
The man hummed. "How proud you're making me."
As Naruto was about to speak, his phone rang which startled him. He pulled it from his pocket and saw it was Hinata who had texted him. He was shocked to see a bunch of missed calls from not only Hinata, but Sasuke, Karin and Ino.
Kurama eyed him, and smiled, "Is it your girlfriend?"
Naruto nodded. "Yeah…" He said, blushing slightly. "It's Hinata."
"I guess she has a surprise for you, huh? After all, today is your special day. I don't want to intervene." Kurama said, with a hint of sadness noticeable for Naruto to detect.
"I- I can stay h-here with you, Kurama." Naruto stuttered. "I don't have to go." He looked down and chewed on his bottom lip. It had been so long that he didn't want Kurama to leave. What if he were to leave? Would this be their last time seeing one another?
Unknown to Naruto, Kurama wore a smug look on his face and his eyes shined with satisfaction. Who knew after all these years, he still had Naruto wrapped around his fingers? That gave him great satisfaction and he couldn't wait to push him even further.
Lifting his head, Naruto gazed into Kurama's eyes when the man placed his hand on the top of his head. "I wouldn't want you to do that to her, Naruto. It seems she went through great lengths for whatever she has planned for you."
"B-but- He looked away and bit down harder on his lip until blood slowly seeped through his breach skin. "I may not get to see you again."
"I promise. You will." Kurama said. "Why don't we meet tomorrow afternoon? I'll even give you my phone number."
Naruto squeezed Kurama's hand and took a deep breath. "Please." He begged. "Please don't leave me again."
Kurama took Naruto's hand into his and patted it. "I'll drop you off."
.

Two hours had gone by and still, there was no sign of Naruto. Sasuke and Ino had tried reaching out to him, but the young man did not answer their text. Ino had explained the situation at the restaurant to Hinata and that left a bad taste in her mouth. There was a rooted resentment for Sakura and if she could kill her then she would. Why would she go to such lengths on Naruto's birthday out of all days? Wasn't they "best friend"! Still! He didn't respond to her text or calls. A simple text would have been sufficient.
Everyone had eaten what was prepared, but the cake was left untouched. Hinata, saddened, sat in her bedroom while the rest of the guests were in the living room and kitchen. If he was sad, why didn't he think to call her? Shouldn't she be the first person that came to mind? "Stupid Sakura. Stupid Kurama. Stupid life." She grumbled to herself. "I hate her and him. I wish they would both die."
Her heart skipped a beat when her phone sounded from the nightstand. She grabbed it and her heart chipped a little bit.
XXX-XXX-XXXX: Hello, this is Tsunade. I know it's late at night and I do apologize for texting you so late, but I have something I want to discuss with you…
XXX-XXX-XXXX: Alone. Please.
XXX-XXX-XXXX: I know what I did was not nice, but this involves Naruto, and you know who. Please meet me at the clinic tomorrow so we can discuss this "issue". Do not tell Naruto about this, please. Thank you.
Hinata reviewed the messages sent and she wondered if it was really from Tsunade. Her heart began to thump when she muttered, "you know who."
Hinata: Okay.
Ino took a sip of the homemade lemonade and would briefly look at Karin and Sasuke who interacted with one another. Suspicious. It was weird to see Sasuke with another woman that wasn't a "high-class model". Karin was cute, but supermodel status? No.
"So, how long have you two been going out?" Ino inquired.
"We're just friends." Karin mumbled.
Ino almost scoffed. Even a blind rat could tell the two were messing around. If Sasuke didn't lay a hand on her then the world was surely coming to an end.
"Ino." Sasuke called out, but the girl quickly raised her hand.
"Yeah. I'm not going to say anything to Sakura." She said, sighing. "I honestly don't want to speak to her anytime soon."
Kurenai was worried about Hinata. The poor girl had left to her bedroom, sulking, and hadn't bothered to check on anyone afterwards.
"Were you able to reach out to Naruto, Ino?" Kurenai asked.
When Ino had entered the house, Kurenai was surprised to find out that this Ino was her precious Hinata's friend. For as long as she and Asuma was dating, he always had three students that stuck to him like glue; Shikamaru, Choji and Ino.
The girl was quite boisterous, but she was a good role model to have as a friend.
"I did, but so far no response." Ino groaned. "I'm going to kill him when I see him! Men, I tell ya. He should be a little more considerate and time-oriented."
"I agree, Ino." Karin commented. "Hinata put in all this hard work for Naruto and he's a no-call no-show."
"Maybe he's running a little late. Things happen." Sasuke butted in. "The dobe wouldn't intentionally miss something unless he's dead in a ditch somewhere."
Both Kurenai and Ino grimaced as the horrifying thoughts filtered their minds. "Maybe we should call the police or go to his place." Kurenai suggested.
"Kurenai, don't worry. The brat is probably late. It's still his birth-
There was a loud knock that interrupted Asuma, and everyone's head turned towards it. Slowly, Asuma made his way to the door and opened it. Naruto was panting and he forced a smile at Asuma.
"Well, if it isn't the birthday boy," Asuma smiled. "I hope you came with some flowers or something because you are in big trouble." He whispered the last part to Naruto.
Naruto's face turned pale, and he gulped. He knew he had screwed up. Two hours had passed since the start of the party and he hadn't bothered to reach out to Hinata, at all.
Making his way into the apartment, he was surprised to see Sasuke, Karin and Ino were there.
"Happy Birthday!" They all shouted.
"Thank you." He said, his eyes looking back and forth for the one true person he cared for.
"She's in the room." Kurenai said, pointing to Hinata's room door. "You better have a good explanation for your tardiness."
Scratching the back of his head, Naruto laughed nervously. "Time just slipped by." He mumbled. "I'm going to check on her."
All eyes were on him as he made his way to the opposite side of the room. Knocking softly, he pushed the door opened slowly, and entered the room.
"He's def going to be in trouble." Ino said shaking her head.
A pair of lavender eyes locked onto him and Naruto felt himself shrunk into a small child. He looked down and then up as he did his best to avoid her piercing gaze. Rocking back and forth on his heels, he began to whistle.
"Explain yourself."
"Baby!" Naruto said dropping to his knees and making his way to her. "You know me. You know I would never miss an event unintentionally." He said grabbing onto her hands.
Hinata was like a wolf ready to consume her prey. Naruto wrapped his arms around her waist then placed his head onto her lap. "I just had an unexpected guest." He said.
"So, a guest was more important than what I had planned for you." Hinata replied harshly. "Aren't I your number one priority?"
"You are!" Naruto cried.
"So, who was so important that you couldn't reply to my messages!" She shouted.
Naruto raised his head to stare at her and Hinata's heart nearly shattered when he gave her a puppy dog look. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to take you for granted." He sighed. "Kurama was there waiting for me."
Something snapped in Hinata and she became deadly quiet. "What does he want?" Her tone was cold.
"To wish me a happy birthday." He said running his fingers up and down her bare leg. "I lost track of time, but I'm here to make it up to you!"
"That's all? To wish you a happy birthday. Well, when is he going to leave?"
Tilting his head to the side, Naruto glared at her. "Why would he leave? He finally came back to me after so long."
"It's only you and I or did you forget about that?" Hinata mentioned. "Why must you surround yourself with that man? He's dangerous Naruto and a thorn on your side, and not to mention my side."
Silence engulfed the room and neither said anything to one another. Finally, Naruto stood up and tackled Hinata to the bed before he squeezed her tightly.
"I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I don't want you to be mad at me." He pleaded, kissing her all over her face and neck.
No matter how many times Hinata tried to suppress her laugh, she couldn't and finally, she caved in and began to laugh hysterically.
Everyone who was outside sighed in relief when they heard the young girl laughing.
"Fine! Fine! I'll forgive you this time, but don't you dare do it again." She said, messing up his blonde hair.
"I promise I won't do that again."
Sighing, Hinata placed the back of her hand over her forehead and stared at the white ceiling. Naruto climbed off her and sat beside her. "I want you two to meet." Before Hinata could decline the invitation, Naruto kissed her on her lips. "For me. Please and please be nice to him."
"B-
"Hinata." Naruto said in a more serious tone. "I'm serious. Please." He said squeezing her hand. "I know you don't like what he has done to me, but I am begging you. Please be nice to Kurama-nii. Do you understand?"
"Fine!"
"Thank you." He said planting another kiss on her forehead. "I've already wasted too much time. Let's go and enjoy the rest of my birthday, okay?"

The party had ended some time ago, and Naruto was assisting Hinata with cleaning and washing dishes. Kurenai had fallen asleep some time ago and Asuma had left to go home because of a teacher's meeting he needed to be at the following day. Ino, Karin and Sasuke helped out a bit, but Naruto reassured them that he would take care of the rest due to his tardiness.
"The food was delicious as ever, Hinata. I can't wait to make you my wife." Naruto said, wiping down the table. "Once I finish school, I'm sure I'll be able to find a job and thus our new life will begin."
His eyes widened when Hinata ran towards him and gave him a bear hug from behind. She inhaled the scent that lingered off his plain black T-shirt and smiled warmly. "Do you really want to make me your wife?"
Turning around, he flashed her a smile and removed some of the hair from her face. "Well, of course. Why else am I with you?" He laughed wholeheartedly.
Naruto stepped back when he saw Hinata's eyes went unbelievably wide and how her upper lip twitched violently. "Uh-
Suddenly, she exploded into little giggles here and there before she erupted into a full-blown happy laugh. "Hinata, you should quiet down before Kurenai hears you." He warned, but even he couldn't stop himself from smiling.
Kurenai's room door open, and the sleepy woman walked out, rubbing her eyes. "W-w- She yawned. "What's going on?"
Hinata quickly placed her hands over her mouth and Naruto laughed nervously. Sorry about that Kurenai. I said something that made Hinata very happy. "We're almost done so I'll be gone soon."
"It's almost one in the morning. Why don't you sleepover?"
Dumbfounded, Hinata twirled to Kurenai and stared at her questionably. "Granted, I know what I said earlier, but it's a little too late. These times are dangerous and there's a killer on the loose. Even for a man Naruto, you have to be careful."
The two lovers briefly glanced at one another before Naruto bowed. "Thank you, Kurenai but it's okay I can wa-
"Nonsense Naruto. I trust you completely. I know I wasn't too friendly in the beginning, but I've never seen so many emotions expressed by my little Hinata. I know you won't do anything to betray my trust." Kurenai said, fanning the boy.
Chuckling, Naruto bowed once more. "You can count on me."
Naruto's mouth was agape when Hinata forcibly pulled down the pajama pants and grabbed his limp meat. He had just left the bathroom to put on one of Asuma's pajama pants that was left behind. Sex was the last thing on his mind, and he had no intentions of doing anything with Hinata, but as soon as he placed his head against the pillow Hinata was already on top yanking the pants off him.
"Hina- He covered his mouth when she placed his shaft into his mouth that throbbed. With each swirl and lick, it was hard for Naruto to suppress his pleasures, and a few times he found himself moaning.
Hinata was sloppy and that excited him even more. The warm saliva that covered his dick made him warm and tingly and when she slid her hand up and down on his shaft made his toes curled.
"Hinata," He finally breathed out. "What about Kurenai?"
Innocently, she smiled. "Kurenai's not going to hear us unless you're too loud, so you have to be quiet Naruto." Hinata replied placing her index finger against her red lips.
Heart thumping, Naruto did his best to control his urge while Hinata on the other hand was doing anything she pleased to his body and that turned him on. There was something about the look in her eyes when she told him he needed to be quiet. The way her lips formed in a slight pout as her soft finger pressed against her glossy lips was seductive and dreamy.
Everything about this was enticing and what turned him on more was the pure excitement of possibly being caught by Kurenai. How would she react if she were to see her little Hinata in such a lewd position? Would she close the door and let them continue? Would she scold her and make a ruckus? There were a lot of scenes that could happen, and he shivered.
"Naruto," Hinata whispered. "You're turning red." Her voice sounded in his ear.
"I- Her teeth clenched on his ear lobe and unconsciously he wrapped his arms around her petite waist and the two rubbed against one another.
Soon, their lips met one another, and they tossed and turned on the bed as both tried to conquer the other. Hinata pouted when Naruto took victory and sat on her legs. Looking back, she glared cutely at Naruto who was massaging her pale bottom. Every once in a while, she trembled when he slid his finger against her entrance that was tremendously soaked. She didn't know when she started to get wet. Maybe it was when Naruto licked the frosting from his nose or when he "accidentally" touched her bottom when no one was looking during the party. There were a lot of things that could have turned her on and every bit of it was because of Naruto.
Hinata moaned slightly when he smacked her bottom. His eyes widened in awe when it jiggled and gradually turned red. Slapping it once more, he earned another moan from Hinata's sweet lips.
Leaning over, he whispered in her ear, "Hinata, remember you have to be quiet so Kurenai doesn't hear you."
His dick grew with every smack to her bottom. There was a warmth brewing in the pits of his stomach, and he wanted to see more of it. He wanted to hear more of her. He wanted to smack her bottom until it turned a bloodshot red. Oh, how he had wished they were at his place and not here.
Hinata enjoyed the little spankings Naruto was giving her and each time he smacked she arched her back until her bottom was stuck high in the air. Her entrance was pulsing, and she wanted him to shove his large member into her.
"Naruto, please." She begged.
"I don't know, Hinata," He said teasingly. "You're quite noisy. Would if Kurenai was to catch us." He questioned spreading her cheeks apart. "How would she react if she were to see you in such a lewd position?" Naruto ran his tongue against her gooey entrance and Hinata shuddered.
"I promise I won't make any noise." Hinata whimpered. "Please."
Naruto grabbed a hold of her waist and aligned his shaft to her entrance and as soon as the tip touched her, she moaned so loudly that he quickly covered her mouth.
"You know Hinata, you're going to cause me to get in trouble," Naruto smirked. "Maybe we should plug up that hole of yours, ne?"
Hinata got up and watched as Naruto dug through some of her draws. Once he had found what he was looking for, he walked over to her and wrapped his hand around her neck. She stared into his eyes and he trembled. The look she gave him was so daring, so seductive that he couldn't help but smash his lips against hers.
A fire radiated from Hinata's eyes when she leaned back, and Naruto hovered over her. This was exciting and she wanted more of it. She wanted his hands to be wrapped around her neck as he gazed into her eyes dangerously. She wanted him to manhandle her as he did earlier. She wanted him.
Without saying a word, he shoved her dark underwear into her mouth. "Let's have some fun, shall we?"
Her breast bounced back and forth as Naruto thrust into her repeatedly. The bedsheets beneath her scrunched closer to her as she tried to hold on for support. Naruto's strong hands gripped her thighs tightly that her pale skin turned red under his touch.
Hinata's moans were muffled, but if anyone were to place their ear by the doors or walls, they would hear her and the bed squeaking. Naruto panted with every thrust and he moaned when Hinata pierced his skin with her sharp nails.
Taking a deep breath, Hinata stared hazily into Naruto's blue orbs when he took the underwear from her mouth.
Picking her up, he sat on the edge of the bed and slammed Hinata onto his dick. The corner of her eyes teared up and he did once more that she bit down onto his shoulder blade to suppress the pleasure that wanted to escape.
Cupping her bottom, he went in and out of her at a steady pace, and every so often he would spread her butt cheeks apart. The girl moaned softly into his ear. She was getting wetter with each thrust which made Naruto's dick slipped out of her from time to time.
"Fuck," He moaned out when he placed it back in.
It was as if her vagina swallowed him whole and clenched onto him. He could feel his time coming to an end.
Bouncing up and down on his dick, Naruto sucked on her neck leaving red love marks all over her perfect skin. "Naruto," She moaned heavily. "I'm… almost… there."
"Me too."
Suddenly, her eyes widened when she felt something pressed against her second hole, and before she could react, his finger was slowly easing its way in.
"Na… Her words caught into her throat and she squeezed her eyes shut when Naruto went in and out of her back entrance. It wasn't even a minute when she came all on Naruto and herself. Her legs shook uncontrollably when Naruto placed her on the bed and hovered over her. Grabbing his dick, he pumped his shaft a few times before he came all over her stomach.
Out of breath, Naruto fell beside her and wrapped his arms around her. "I love you, Hinata."
"I love you too, Naruto."
His entire body felt heavy, and eventually, he fell asleep. Hinata on the other hand was wide awake, and her legs twitched every so often. She was becoming dangerous.

The afternoon sky was settling, and the once pinkish clouds were shifting and changing in color. Naruto gawked at the setting sun as he waited for Kurama's arrival at a local burger joint. The milkshake the waitress had given him melted, and a little puddle rested beneath the glass bowl.
He briefly looked at the time and it was almost 7:30 PM.
Kurama was supposed to arrive half an hour ago and there still weren't any signs of the man nor did he respond to his text message. Naruto was getting irritable, and he kept thinking about the worse scenario. Kurama left again.
"You're going to mess up your skin like that if you keep frowning."
Naruto whipped his head around and gawked at the tall figure taking a seat opposite him. Kurama brought the black mask down slightly to reveal his pretty lips. He wore a black cap to cover his red hair and wore a black jacket with dark jeans and white shoes.
"Is this how you have to go about now?" Naruto asked, gazing down. "I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He said flagging down a waitress. "My time was going to come to an end sooner or later."
"Naruto, is this a friend of yours?" The green hair waitress asked eyeing the man.
Humming in response, Naruto smiled, "I guess you can say that. He's new to Konoha. Why don't you give him a nice special?"
Maria, the waitress, smiled. "Does this friend have a name?"
"You can call me K."
"Okay K, I'll be right back with that special order." She said, chewing on her bottom lips seductively.
Naruto played with the straw in the milkshake and chuckled. "I still see you've got it going on."
"Without a doubt." Kurama responded. "Why the long face?"
"You didn't respond to my messages and I've been waiting here for almost an hour." Naruto frowned. "I thought you left me again."
"Were you lonely without me?"
"I was. W-why did you leave me like that?" He said, taking a deep breath. "Why did you leave me down in the basement?"
"If I didn't then it would have been suspicious." Kurama replied. "I had to do what was necessary to protect you."
"You said you would be back. Why didn't you reach out to me? Message me? Or do something," He mumbled.
"I did."
The emotion drained from Naruto's face and he stared into Kurama's violet-blue eyes. "What do you mean you did? I didn't get any fuc- He took a deep breath. "I didn't receive any letters from you or messages,"
Kurama smirked. "It seems the old hag has been keeping my letters and not giving them to you, but who could blame her." He said, smiling cunningly. "Now, Naruto. You shouldn't be too upset with Tsunade. She was only looking out for your best interest."
Maria placed a huge burger in front of the two and a basket of fries. "Eat up." She said winking at Kurama.
Kurama eyed the food and smiled. "Is this what youngsters eat nowadays? These things can clog your arteries, Naruto."
"Why does it seem you're taking up for baa-chan?" Naruto asked, arching his eyebrow. "If she wasn't my guardian and my bank, I would have slit her throat. Are you fucking her?" His tone was laced with venom.
"Is that any of your concern?" Kurama replied cheekily. "And I would think twice before you decide to touch that woman. It may just cause you your freedom. It seems you're still impulsive and haven't learned your lesson before. Would you really be killing Tsunade for fun or resentment?"
"You are my concern." Naruto commented, avoiding Kurama's question.
"Do I sense an attitude? Naruto, may I remind you who you are speaking to?" Kurama voiced, intertwining his fingers together. "I'm patient when it comes to you, but don't think I won't discipline you."
Lowering his head, Naruto clawed at his bare hands until there were long red scratch marks noticeable on his skin.
"Inflicting pain on yourself doesn't help. Tsk. I don't know where you got that habit from."
Naruto immediately stopped what he was doing and shifted uncomfortably in the hard seat. "All I wanted was you. I just wanted to know why you left me for so long. I have so many questions that I can't seem to answer."
"If you're looking for me to answer them, then it's unfortunate as I cannot answer it for you. I've always been this way and maybe it stems from our family tree."
"Our family tree?" Naruto asked cocking his head to the side.
"Oh yeah, I've never told you huh? I'm your mother's older brother." Kurama replied, nonchalant.
Unaware to Kurama, Naruto felt a little ping in his heart. How could he say something so casual? He knew they looked similar to one another, but he never believed they were so close in the family tree! How could he be so callous?
Right… he's Kurama. Other's emotions don't matter and that included Naruto's.
"Did grandfather leave anything for mother or you?"
"Dog shit." Kurama sipped on the soda. "He lost every single bit of it."
"Ha. Of course. We're the poorer Uzumakis." Naruto chuckled. "The fucked up Uzumakis, huh?"
"Fucked up is an understatement."
"Did you have any regrets, Kurama-nii?" Naruto whispered.
"Mistakes, yes. Regrets, never."
"Not even with happened to Hana?"
"No." Kurama replied bitterly. "Hana was a waste of time and the mistake was that I had not killed her any sooner."
"I want you to meet Hinata." Naruto said, smiling towards Kurama. "She's really sweet and kind and she wants to meet you."
"Is that so?"
Nodding eagerly, Naruto threw a fry into his mouth. "I'm sure you'll like her. I don't keep any secrets from her, and she knows everything about me."
"You trust her to that extent?"
Naruto leaned forward and rested his face between his hands. "Yeah." He suddenly smiled. "She says she's trying to "help me", but her body is telling me something else."
"Well, that's the first. I'm proud you found someone who loves you for you."
"How is that woman you ran off with? Still alive?"
"Dead."
"Of course." Naruto smiled even brighter. "So, oji-san, why don't we have some fun, together?"
-Review-
Author's Rant: During the adoption process, Kurama spotted Naruto and spoke to Hana about the kid because he sparked an intertest in him. Familiarity, you may say. However, he didn't pay attention to detail until he realized the last name and eventually, he did some research and discovered Naruto was in fact his nephew.
Honestly, Kurama is my favorite character in this story.
The other Uzumakis cut of Akiko because he was a selfish and greedy man who didn't believe in helping his relatives. Akiko, however, has always been a strange man in the family "and not in his right mind". That is why Kurama refers to their specific blood as tainted.
I can't feel any sympathy for Tsunade, just like I don't have sympathy for parents who know what their children are capable of. Miss, your child killed your pet and didn't show any remorse… umm…. Hello? Police?
TMI: First time my boyfriend stuck his finger in that holy place was in the back of my 1997 Toyota Camry. We were at a park… middle of the night… We were 18, Okay! Hormones and stuff, ya know? 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you for the reviews!
