A sweet spring breeze falls over the village hidden in the leaves. Clutching a bouquet of flowers close to my heart, I kneel in front of a gravestone. The grass feels cold beneath my knees and I extend my arm to a little blonde boy. He kneels down next to me, and I swing my arm over his little shoulders bringing him close to me.

Laying the flowers down I take a deep breath and feel hot tears spill from my eyes. I open my mouth, but no words escape.

"Hey mom." Naruto speaks, his voice hushed.

He grazes his hand over the grave as if to hold his mother's hand and feel her warmth. My heart shatters at the scene and I bring Naruto closer to my side.

"Dad's suffocating me, help." He mumbles into my side, and I let out a small chuckle. He wiggles his way out of my hold and continues to speak to his deceased mother.

"A lot has happened in these past few weeks. I lost my memory, and Dad and I got really close. It made me really happy. Turns out it was Obi-chan who did it, but I'm glad he did. Today's the day the new Hokage is stepping up. The ceremony starts soon. I wish you were here mom. I love you." He finishes and I hear him sniffle as he stands up.

Smiling at him I stand up as well and ruffle his blonde locks.

"Naruto has covered everything Kushina. We both miss you terribly and love you so much." I feel tears coming again and take a deep breath.

Looking down at Naruto the warmest feeling creeps its way into my heart.

"Let's get going kiddo." I say and lift him up onto my shoulders. He squeals with joy.

The wind blows as we exist the graveyard and I swear I hear the faintest whisper.

"You finally did it you baka."

Typical Kushina to say something like that after our speech.

I chuckle to myself and head towards the Hokage tower.

A silver haired jounin runs up to me followed by his brunette teammate.

"Sensei!" Kakashi shouts over the loud crowd. I smile towards him, and Naruto waves his smile bright.

"When is it starting?" Rin asks, high fiving a very bubbly Naruto.

"Very soon I'm hoping!" I say the enthusiasm bubbling up inside of me.

Today is the day, my very own student will be crowned Hokage. Well, not really crowned but you get the message.

Of course…there were other candidates that were placed for Hokage by Hiruzen and the other council member but I'm sure Obito made it, I just know it.

I chose Obito, the knucklehead ninja who literally can't even tie his own shoes, but I have my reasons. I know he'll be able to take care of the village and treat everyone like family. It's just how Obito is. The way he helped Naruto gain a father's trust and love really showed me just how good of a spot this would be for Obito. Not to mention that his rapid increase in ninjutstu and genjutsu has increased. I still have to question him about that.

The crowd goes silent as I see one of the elders motion for me to come up and make a speech. I do just that, but leave Naruto with Rin.

"Go get 'em Dad!" He says, before I flash up to the top of the tower.

I straighten up, and make some speech about what an honor it is to be stepping down and handing the village over to such a wonderful kage…and then I add some stuff about how great of an honor it has been serving as the Fourth Hokage. And then some witty joke about how they better not forget me.

I finish my speech and look over at my son who is standing on top of Rin's shoulders beaming up at me with the happiest grin I've ever seen.

"Thank you, Youndaime-sama." The council elder speaks. I step aside as he motions for the new Hokage to step up. As he passes me I notice that something is off.

"And your new Hokage is…"

The man looks up.

No.

The hat begins to come off.

It can't be.

The crowd erupts.

"Danzo!"

And slowly my world starts falling apart…

Again.

To Be Continued.
