Mitsuki looked out the window of her bedroom and smiled at the scenery. Ever since her father sent her to Konoha she has always enjoyed the beautiful sunrises. The way the sun lights up the past hokages faces reminds her of simpilar times. Times before she...
No.
That was then and this is now.
"Mama...?" She turned around and saw a yawning Naruto. He was finally able to sleep through the night and not wet the bed. Sure, she was able to potty train the boy but he was scared. She has yet to find out what they are about but it seems that he is opening up to him. Mitsuki has a feeling that he's still terrified of her hurting him.
"How about after you do your numbers and your letters we go to the park?" Naruto's face lot up and ran to hug her.
"Can I help with breakfast?"
"Depends... what do you want?" She knew he always wanted Ramen, but that was a lunch or dinner food.
"Pancakes?" He asked hestitently. She smiled and picked him up so that she could throw him over her shoulder like a sack of potatoes. He shrieked in excitement and giggled.
"Pancakes it is!" When she went dowanstairs she saw a letter on the table addressed to her. She put Naruto down and picked the letter up. She frowned once she saw her family crest on it. It was an official letter...
'I haven't been home for a month yet,' she thought. 'What could he want already?'
"Mama? Are we making pancakes?" Mitsuki put the letter down without opening it and got the stuff for pancakes.
"I don't know... Do I have my special helper?"
"Yeah! And when I become a ninja I will make you all the pancakes you want?"
"Really?" Naruto nodded enthusiastically.
"Yeah and then I'll become Hokage!" Now that surprised the daimyo's daughter.
"Hokage? Now that is a big goal," she turned around and put her hands on his shoulders. "But I will support you. Now Mr. Future Hokage! You must have a good breakfast and study so that you'll become Hokage!"
Naruto nodded and lets just say that that brekafast was an interesting one.
"Come on Mama!" She laughed and was pulled by the blond to the park. She could see the Nara and Akimichi boys and they were waving at Naruto. She let him go on ahead as she sat on the bench and he bolted faster than Minato.
'So much like Kushina,' she thought fondly. 'I have a feeling that Kushina made a clone of herself but he has blond hair. I guess I should read the letter dad sent me.'
Before she could read the letter, she felt a tap on jer shoulder. She turned around and saw that it was Jiraya. She frowned and ignorwd himwhen he sat down on the bench next to her. They sat in awkward silence before Mitsuki broke the tension.
"I'm sorry I kicked you out my house."
"I should be the one apologizing." Jiraya smiled when he saw his student's son play with the kids of the Clan heads. "I was out of line for bringing Urushihara into this. I knlw you were just trying to protect Naruto."
"But you do have the right to see Naruto."
"Yeah," Jiraya said as he leaned back as he looked at his former student's wife. "But what kind of Godfather would I be if I waited until four years after the attack to see him? We both know that if Urushihara was still alive he would be the boy's Godfather."
Mitsuki giggled and agreed with the man. "He would spoil that boy so much and you know it."
"And Minato wouldn't?" Jiraya gave a hearty laugh. They were busy thinking about how the people close to them would be like but they were interuppted when they heard Naruto yell.
"Naruto!" Mitsuki ran towards her son and saw three genin picking on Naruto, Shikamaru, and Choji. The thing that surprised her was that one of the genin was protecting the three boys.
"Komori! Yugoro! Leave them alone! They are children!" The boy defending them had spikey hair pulled into a pony tail and had a scar running across his nose.
"Iruka! That brat killed your parents!" The white haired boy yelled and Mitsuki named him 'Brat #1'.
"Yeah! We should kill him so that we avenge those who died!" Now Mitsuki referred to the second kid 'Dead meat'.
"I suppose you shut up before I kill you both." The two genin stared at the scary women in fear but they wouldn't back down.
"We aren't scared of you old lady." Now that pissed her off. She grabbed both of the genin and threw them out the park. Like she picked them up and threw them like a ball. No one makes fun of her age. Mitsuki turned towards the third genin and noticed that his face was turning red.
"Hey kid. What's your name?" Mitsuki asked as she brushed off the dirt off of the three boys.
"I-Iruka Umino..."
"Thank you for defending my little fox. You're a good kid." Iruka's face lit up and he nodded happily.
"T-Thank you..!" Naruto said and hugged the genin. Shikamaru and Choji gave him a thumbs up and invited him to play Mega Robot Shinobi's with them. Iruku agreed and played with the three kids who were yonger than him.
"At least there are some good people out there." Mitsuki smiled and went back to her seat. When she got back she noticed that Jiraya was reading her a letter her father sent. She glared at the Sannin and snatched it from him.
"Oop...!" Jiraya said while rubbing his neck. "Was that yours...?"
"Do you mind telling me why your were readimg my private mail? Especially from the damiyo?" Mitsuki didn' bother listening tonhis response because she read the letter someone already opened.
My Dearest Daughter,
I know you have only been in Konoha for less then a month but I need you to arrive at the palace for an important meeting. Your brothers have informed me that you have adopted a new child and we would love to meet them. My dear, I would love for you to bring whoever they are and Kakashi here. Your mother and I would love to see our grandchildren. Since your brothers have yet to give me or your mother grandchildren.
Sincerely yours,
The Damiyo of Fire Country.
When Mitsuki looked up she uttered a word that no one could hear but if they did then they would faint.
"Hiruzen-sensei!" Mitsuki screeched as she busted though the door with Naruto in her arms. The third Hokage whinced at her voice but immediately stopped when he saw Naruto.
"Ah! Naruto my boy! Come here!"
"Hey old man!" Naruto hopped out of his mother's arms and plopped himself on the older man's lap. Hiruzen just smiled and patted the blond on the head as the boy told him all about his life with Mitsuki.
"I see," Hiruzen laughed as Naruto told him about the time him and Kiba made a mess of Mitsuki's house. She glared at him and he tried to cover up his laugh with a cough. And angry Mitsuki is not one to be messed with.
"My father has requested me to bring both of my sons to the Capital."
"So soon?" Hiruzen asked in surprise. "He usually gives you some down time. Especially since you've been traveling non-stop for four years."
"Well you know my father," muttered Mitsuki. "He is easily swayed once there is enough people around. Seriously, the man needs to grow a backbone. I have a feeling that either Ox or Monkey bothered him about it."
"You know talking animals?" Naruto asked with excitement laced in his voice.
"Pakkun talks sweetheart. So does the rest of our summons."
"But I've never seen a talkimg monkey or ox before!" Mitsuki looked at the Third Hokage and they both gave a light chuckle.
"Oh my little fox." Mitsuki shook her head and picked up Naruto from Hiruzen's lap. "Ox and Monkey are nicknames for my annoying brothers."
"If I may interrupt," Hiruzen cut in. "Why did you tell me?"
"Because I need you to take Kakashi off missions while I go to the capital. Think of him as my personal bodyguard because you know that he wants me dead." Hiruzen pursed his lips but agreed anyway.
"Then let me send one more ANBU memeber with you."
"Who?"
"You know him very well. When will you leave?"
"A day after Naruto's birthday."
With that, the Shijimi family walked out of the Hokage's office. Naruto kept asking questions about his adoptive mother's family, but he stopped when they bumped into the last person Mitsuki wanted to see.
"Hello Lady Mitsuki," Danzo sneered. He glared at the you g blond in her arms and as a reault Naruto hid his face into her neck.
"Danzo." Mitsuki hissed in annoyance.
"So what do we own the pleasure."
"Nothing. My son and I were just leaving." She tried to step around him but he grabbed her by the arm and yanked her in front of him.
"Whatever you think you are doing," Danzo hissed in her ear as Naruto trembled violently in fear. "You'd better stop now or there will be hell to pay."
"Is that a threat Danzo?" Mitsuki gripped Naruto against her chest and tried to move her son away from the man.
"It's a promise." He threw the women on the ground with a squeak of surprise from Naruto. He stepped over her and continued to his destination. She would usually have someone's head for that, but she was too busy making sure her terrified child is okay.
"Lady Mitsuki!" She looked behind her and saw Guy coming towards her. "I saw what happened. Would you like to make a report to lord Third?"
"No," she mumbled and took his hand. He lifted her and Naruto up without a problem. "If I go to Hiruzen-sensei the it'll look like I'm scared of him."
"But I saw him assult you!"
"Trust me," she whispered as Guy walked her towards her house. "I will be telling my father about this. The thing I'm most mad about is that he scared my little fox."
Mitsuki stroked her son's hair and whispered soothing words to the scared kid. She needs Ox to give her advice on how to deal with Danzo, and besides she has a bad feeling that something horrible is about to come soon.
"Naru-Naru," Mitsuki whispered from her seat on Naruto's bed. "Wake up baby."
"I don' wanna..." Naruto grumbled and buried his face back into his pillow. The brunnete smiled and stroked his hair softly.
"Then I guess someone doesn't birthday presents..." She giggled when Naruto jumped out of bed and ran downstairs. His eyes lit up like a kid in a candy store when he saw the presents on the table and breakfast ready for him. Not only did his mama let his sleep in but he got presents? Awesome!
"Your friends should be over soon for a small party before they leave for the festival," Kakashi explained as he took a sip of his coffee. Naruto smiled and asked Mitsuki he they could go. He's never been to a festival before and going to one on his birthday? This would be the best birthday ever!
Unfortunately Mitsuki didn't think so. She walked up to her eldest son and punched him on the top of his head in annoyance. Did he forget what type of festival happens on the 10th? Well, at least Kakashi had the sense to look remorseful. Then again, his friends might accidenly let it slip that they were going to the featival.
"Only on one condition," Mitsuki said as she took Naruto's face into her hands. "You will stay by either Kakashi, Jiraya, or me. Do NOT leave our sight. Okay?"
Naruto nodded and finished up his breakfast. He knew that at festivals you had to wear those fancy dresses his mama always wore, but his mama got him one when she first got him. So he ran upstairs and tried to put on his Yukata but it got tangled around him. He called for Mitsuki to help him and when she saw him she laughed.
"Kakashi...!" Mitsuki wheezed. "Come here...!"
Naruto's face lit up when Kakashi came and saw him tangled up in his outfit. His adoptive mom and brother both laughed before helping him put it on correctly. Naruto pouted while Mitsuki tried to tame his hair and grumbled that ot was just like his father's.
"Hey mama..?" Naruto asked hesitantly.
"Yes Naruto?"
"Can you tell me about them...?" Mitsuki froze before nodding.
"Well..."
Cliffhanger! Mhahahahaha! Next chapter will introduce Mitsuki's family and how she met the leaf ninja!
