"You were married?" Naruto asked after listening to his Mama's story. Mitsuki nodded sadly and gently hugged Naruto in response. It always hurt when she talks about her husband and how they were only married for a short time before he was killed by his teacher. Naruto hugged his mama back and looked up when he heard a knock on her door. Mitsuki walked to the door and opened it to reveal that Gennin, Iruka, with a present in his arms. Ever since the small family had met the boy Naruto has taken a liking to him, and Iruka to Naruto. Whenever Mitsuki and Kakashi was busy she always asked Iruka to babysit the young blond, which he happily agreed to every time.

"Hiya Lady Mitsuki," Iruka said while smiling. "I can't stay right now because I have to report with my sensei but I will be back in time for the party!"

"That's alright Iruka." Mitsuki smiled and showed him to put the present onto the kitchen table with the rest of the presents. Naruto smiled like he was the happiest kid on earth and hugged Iruka. The brown haired gennin hugged him back and ruffled his hair fondly.

"Hey kid! Happy birthday!"

"Thanks Iruka! I'll see you later and I expect you to bring ramen!" Mitsuki rolled her eyes and flicked Naruto on his forehead.

"Kid," she warned gently. "I told you I would take you to the best ramen place in all of Fire Country when we make it to my father's place."

"But mama," Naruto whined. "Ichiraku is the best ramen place in Fire Country!" Iruka laughed and excused himself before he was late meeting his sensei. Both of them waved in acknowledgement as they continued to argue about where the best ramen is. They kept arguing about ramen til there was another knock on the door.

Mitsuki grabbed Naruto and threw him up in the air before catching him and carrying him like a sack of potatoes. Naruto squealed in excitement and opened up the door to reveal the Uchiha brothers.

"Sasuke!"

"Naruto!"

The birthday boy was able to release himself from his mother's grasp and started asking Sasuke if they were going to the festival with them. Itachi sighed and put the present on the table and declined Mitsuki's offer of a drink.

"Mother and Father should be coming after they get out of the clan meeting," Itachi muttered while looking concerned.

"Are you alright...?" Mitsuki asked as she reminded the boys to be careful when they started to play. Itachi nodded and she knew that he was hiding something but chose to ignore it. Itachi will reveal it when he is ready.

"Who else did you invite?" Itachi asked when their was another knock on the door.

"Kiba, Shikamaru, Choji, Iruka, and Sasuke."

"Iruka?"

"He's a gennin that Naruto attached himself to." Itachi nodded in understanding and greeted the Nara and Akimichi head families.

"Hi Lady Mitsuki," Shikamaru and Choji chorused in unison and bowed in respect. Mitsuki bowed in response with confusion written on her face because she said that they didn't have to greet her like that. She raised an eyebrow when she saw what they were wearing.

Shikamaru seemed uncomfortable wearing a yukata and Choji seemed indifferent as he ate a bag of chips. She looked over at their moms and they seemed to be nervous about her presence, but then again she never met their mother's just their father's.

"Let me talk to your mom's while you play with Naruto and Sasuke." She gently urged them to go play with the two other boys. When they finally agreed to she turned and greeted their the ladies. "Hi! I'm Mitsuki Shijimi and it's nice to meet you two."

The two mom's bowed and introduce themselves as Yoshino Nara and Choshu Akimichi. They seemed to be nervous around her like they were waiting for her approval.

"You don't have to act like I'm above you." Mitsuki persisted as she asked for the two women to raise their heads. "I'm a mom just like you two and I hope that we can be friends!"

That surprised them and slowly nodded in understanding. They had heard rumors about that if they crossed the princess then they would be sent to jail or executed but they had to meet her on a personal level when their sons came home explaining how they met a new friend at the park that wondered who the kid was. When Choza and Shikaku explained that the nine-tailed fox holder was adopted by her only made their fear of her grow.

"Would you two like a drink?" Mitsuki asked as she held one pitcher of water and one of lemonade. "I didn't put ice in it due to it being cold but I can add some if you want."

"I would love some," Yoshino said softly and took a glass from her.

"Hey mama," Naruto asked as he entered the kitchen with Shikamaru, Choji, and Sasuke following right behind him. "When can we open presents?"

"When Kiba and Tsume arrive. Iruka and Jiraya should be here soon but if they aren't here by eleven then we can go ahead and start." Mitsuki explained softly as she poked Naruto in the forehead. The blond haired boy pouted and rubbed his forehead in response.

Who knew that the nine tailed kid could look so sweet and happy? Normally when they saw them they would just hope that he wouldn't come near them. Deep down they knew that he did nothing wrong, but you can't blame them for being afraid of the kid.

The four boys seemed to except that answer and went back to playing (with Kakashi joining them when they couldn't decide who would be the scary villain) while the three moms got to know each other and become friends.

"He did what now?" Choshu laughed as Mitsuki told them about a story about how Kakashi set himself on fire when he was ten because he wanted to cook.

"I swear he gets his cooking skills from my husband," Mitsuki wheezed as she held her sides. "Both of them set the bowl of water and themselves on fire. Ever since then I banned them from the kitchen and cooked for them. How that boy survived the four years I was gone is one of the seven wonders of the world."

"Who was your husband?" Both Yoshino and Choshu were interested about who was daring enough to marry the princess of the fire daimyo.

"Hiruzen-sensei's eldest son, Urushihara Sarutobi. We married young and he died young." The two wife's of the Nara and Akimichi heads looked at each other in sadness. Losing your beloved at a young age must have been horrible.

"How old were you when you married... if you don't mind me asking." Mitsuki smiled at Choshu with a smile that seemed distant.

"I was fifteen and he was sixteen. We eloped in a town now far from here actually with Kushina and Mikoto as my bridesmaids and his groomsmen were Minato and Fugaku. We got in some much trouble with our parents but we didn't care at the time. He bought a house with the money his mom gave him and one year later we adopted Kakashi. My little pup was about four at the time and he seemed to take a liking to me, much to Urushihara's annoyance. That man was so jealous that Kakashi was getting more attention than he."

"You were parents at such a young age!" Yoshino exclaimed and Mitsuki nodded. Most people were critical of her choices but she really doens't care. Who were they to decide what she did? Sure her parents were mad but once they met both Kakashi and Urushihara they fell in love with both of them. Her brother's on the other hand... wanted to kill Urushihara while they spoiled Kakashi.

"Yep. I don't regret that in the least bit. Should I have picked up a book on parenting at that time? Probably. But with Naruto I just decided to go with the flow or something like that."

"Don't I know that!" Tsume yelled as she walked into the kitchen with a present and a wiggling Kiba under both her arms.

"Why did I give you a key to my house?"

"Because ya love me!" Tsume dropped Kiba and he went running towards the boys (who were destroying her couch. Great now she had to replace it. Again.). She set the present on the table and took a beer out of the fridge and took a swig of it.

"Isn't it too early to be drinking," Itachi asked for the first time since Yoshino and Choshu arrived.

"It's five o'clock somewhere!" Tsume laughed and sat on the floor near the other moms. Mitsuki just rolled her eyes and kicked Tsume gently in the side. The Inuzuka just swiped at her friend like a dog and went back to drinking her beer.

The four moms talked about everything and anything under the sun. While they talked Jiraya, Mikoto and Fugaku, and Iruka all arrived before eleven and joined in the conversation (while the boys made a bigger mess...and there does the vase. Dammit).

"Alright ya little maggots!" Tsume yelled as Iruka flinched since he was right next to her. "It's time for cake then presents! After that you scamper ya little butts to the festival with ya family!"

The kids (and Kakahsi) all yelled in excitement and sat themselves at the kitchen table, which was now cleared of presents. Jiraya brought out the chocolate and vanilla cake out as they sang happy birthday to the now five year old Naruto. Naruto, who wasn't sued to having people celebrate his birthday, was blushing and resembled the color of his birth mother's hair. He smiled and squeezed Mitsuki's hand as a response when she put her hand on his shoulder.

When everyone was full of cake and the presents were opened was when everyone started to head out towards the festival. The only one's who stayed were Kakashi, Jiraya, Mitsuki, and Naruto as they cleaned up the house. It was only when they were done and everything was put away when Naruto ran up to his adoptive mom and hugged her legs.

"Thank you mama," he whispered as some tears leaked out of his eyes and onto her clothes. The princess smiled softly and gave him a small hug.

"Anything for you, my little fox. Anything."

"Kakashi! Win me that fox!" Naruto exclaimed as he rode on his adoptive brother's shoulders as they walked around the festival. Mitsuki smiled and gently reminded Naruto that he needed to use his manners if he wanted something.

"Alright." Naruto whined and patted Kakashi on the head. "Can you please win me that fox Kakashi?"

"Certainly!" Kakashi said and walked away from his mom and Jiraya.

"Try not to lose him!" Mitsuki called and huffed when Kakashi just waved her off.

"Don't worry," Jiraya said as he put his hand on her shoulder. "He's safe with him!"

"You didn't see Guy over there." Jiraya stared and then nodded in understanding. He's known Kakashi since Mitsuki and Urushihara adopted him and could tell that him and Guy were THOSE people. The type of people who were overly competitive with each other.

The two adults decided to walk around and see the other stalls because they knew Kakashi would catch up to them later. All was fine and quiet until...

"How dare you bring him here!" Mitsuki turned and saw a middle-aged women who had an angry look on her face.

"Excuse me...?" Mitsuki asked confused and that seemed to annoy the women more.

"How dare you bring that demon here! He killed a lot of our people and you dare bring him here?" The women snapped and got super close to Mitsuki that she was able to smell the women's breath. That women's breath reeked of alcohol.

"My son has every right to be here as you do." Mitsuki said as the stared the women straight in the eyes. What she didn't know that there was a crowd forming around her in order to watch what was going on.

"Your son is a monster!"

"He's not the one who decided that it's a good idea to get drunk before one o'clock now is he?" Mitsuki spat back in annoyance. "He's not the one making a fuss is he? Now be a good little drunk and go back to the bar, or is the reason you're bothering me is because you got cut off?"

"You bitch!" The women cried and pulled her fist back like she was about to punch Mitsuki. She just raised an eyebrow and sighed. Why must this happen today of all days?

Before the women was able to punch Mitsuki in the face a hand came and grabbed the women by her wrist. Both women looked and saw that it was the Third Hokage of all people. He looked unimpressed at the drunk and shot a look at his guards that said to take this women away, and they did. The Hokage just shook his head and told everyone to go back to what they were doing because if anyone thought that it was okay to confront her then they would be apprehended as well. That seemed to scare the passerby's and they decided to follow the Hokage's order.

"Come Young Mitsuki," The Hokage put his hand on Mitsuki's shoulder and led her and Jiraya (who froze during the confrontation) back to her two sons. When they were able to locate Kakashi he was in the middle of one of his rivalry battles with Guy as Naruto stood close to his brother while he was holding a stuffed fox.

"Naru-Naru," Mitsuki called and smiled when Naruto came waddling towards her. She picked him up and held him on her hip as he showed the Third Hokage his fox that Kakashi won for him before Guy challenged him. The Hokage smiled and ruffled Naruto's hair in a grandfatherly manner. That embarrassed the blond and he hid his face in the crook of his mom's neck. The older man just laughed and walked with the small family for the rest of the day (while Kakashi spent the rest of the festival battling with Guy).
