Naruto POV ~

They both frowned but replied nonetheless, "Of course Naru-chan. I'll tell you about Uzushiogakure and not only me but Minato can also give you tips about Fuinjutsu. We both were seal masters, so maybe it's genetic."

I flushed at the nickname but smiled thinking I have a few similarities with my parents.

There was a soft muttering suspiciously sounding like dad's voice, "There goes her motor mouth."

Mom glared at him and I tried my best cover my snickers when he cowered in fear. Dad narrowed his eyes at me and I tried my best to look as innocent as possible. Judging by mom's snort I wasn't so successful. Dad rolled his eyes good naturedly.

"Alright then, Uzushiogakure no Sato, Village Hidden by Whirling Tides was the shinobi village of theLand of Whirpools. Its ninja were renowned for theirfuinjutsuto the point that it led to its destruction in war.Those who survived the village's destruction scattered across the globe to seek refuge.

The people of Uzushiogakure were noted to have notoriously long lives, so it gained the epithet 'The Village of Longevity'. In terms of appearance, the village seemed to have been composed of several high-rise buildings. A wide river seemingly ran through the village and was gapped by large bridges. The surrounding countryside was dominated by steep hills.

Uzushiogakure had close ties with Konohagakure, due to Uzushio's Uzumaki clan and Konoha's Senju clan being distant blood relatives.

Because of this, all flak jackets worn by the Chunin and Jonin-level shinobi of Konohagakure bear the crest of Uzushiogakure, symbolising the strong friendship between both villages. This symbol is also emblazoned on some of the shoulders of the outfits that the Konoha shinobi wear underneath the flak jackets."

Dad interrupted playfully, "Woah Kushina, narutopedia much?"

Mom blushed and boinked Dad's head the same way she did to me, "Minato!" I watched in amusement, dammit they are hilarious.

She cleared her throat looking now a harmless woman that she so isn't and continued, "So where was I? Hmm right..

Mito Uzumaki was one of the first Uzumaki to reside in Konoha, she was brought to seal the Kyubi in her and was also the first to become the jinchuriki of Kyubi no Yoko. Uzumaki have rare and more chakra than any normal person. Our bloodline, consists of chakra chains which could hold even the strongest of biju, the Kyuubi. The reason why only Uzumaki are the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi. I was brought for sealing only because Mito-Baa was getting old and I became the second jinchuriki and now you are the third.

And if you want more information about Uzushio or our bloodline, I think the library in Uzushio should still be in good shape. I could not go there. I had memories and seeing the ruins I wasn't sure if I would be able to cope so I never tried. There are a few books and seals in our compound.

In Uzu though the largest library was underground and was placed under a blood seal. If you have strong uzumaki blood running in you I think you'll be able to open it. It should help. Furthermore about fuinjutsu I think we don't have much time left to give you all details. But we'll tell you all we can so we can talk about your life."

I nodded.

This time dad spoke, "The way you're going is a great start Naruto. Fuinjutsu is an art. It's delicate, one needs upmost concentration and elegance to copy, make new or update old seals. We believe you can do it though. In three weeks you have come way too far in all these 16 years. So when you return to the real world, go to Tsunade and ask for your inheritance privately. Me and your mother have library in our house as she mentioned earlier. You will get all kind of books there.

The mansion has a blood seal I updated before you were about to be born. So no one else but your mother and I, you, Kakashi and Jiraiya as well as Sandaime are able to enter but seeing as us and Sandaime-sama are no more it's just you three. The house is pretty huge, it has a training ground and also your personal room. We hoped you'd like it but the room was for a baby. We hope you like your home. Everything in our mansion is our precious belongings Naruto. Not more precious than you but much like you. We know you will continue our legacy."

"Why does Kakashi have entrance?"

"He is one of my last living student." he replied sadly.

Before I could question more mom continued, "I have diaries and books about our jutsus, theories, seals, few of our techniques, my Katana katas and own taijutsu styles. Hope it'll help to know your parents. Naru-chan we wanted to be there for you ttebane, give you everything we could, shower you with love, cook you homemade food, teach you everything we know and simply be there for you and not let you grow up alone. I wish we had more time with you son."

I smiled at them and couldn't help the tears that ran down my face, I wiped them away and grinned, "Arigatou Tou-chan Kaa-chan I am thankful just to know all this ttebayo."

Dad ruffled my hair and smiled, "You got my hair and eyes but you have face of your Haha-ue."

"What would I have looked like, if I have had Kaa-chan's hair color and texture?" I voiced my thought out loud.

All three of us looked up in thought and imagined the same..

*Me flipping my straight red hair dramatically.*

"I guess you would've looked interesting." Dad commented

Mom and I chuckled.

I faced her and took a strand of her hair in hand and couldn't help but marvel, "Your hair is so beautiful. I really like your hair."

For some reason both my parents blushed. Kaa-chan rubbed the back of her neck but then smiled at me lovingly.

"You're the second guy to compliment my hair ttebane."

"Who was the first?"

"Your Chichi-ue of course. He even said the same line ttebane."

My eyes widened in surprise and I looked at dad, he was still sporting a blush. He rubbed the back of his neck in embarrassment, "Well, she does have pretty hair. Don't you agree Naru-chan?"

I nodded with a grin that I couldn't seem to get rid of.

"Would you like to hear what I said to the man that complimented my hair?"

I nodded.

"I love you."

My eyes widened and grin became so big that could've split my face in half. I dipped my head a little, I could feel a hot blush on my face. The feeling was overwhelming.

"I love you too." I replied looking up at her and smiled as her eyes widened in surprise and her lips broke in a gentle smile. A tear fell from her eye and I gently wiped it away.

From the corner of my eyes I saw Tou-chan watching our interaction with sad yet happy eyes. His eyes shone with unshed tears and there was a frown on his lips. I could tell he was trying his best to not cry. It made me sad to realize what he must be feeling. I couldn't help but feel warmth though, she loves me he loves me. My parents hadn't abandoned me because I was a monster. Because he believed in my strength, I became the jinchuriki of Kyuubi no Yoko. I was too overwhelmed.. Someone did- does love me. I never thought I would ever hear it but here I am sitting in front of my two Suns.

I clapped my hands in excitement because there was so much I wanted to know, "Anyways! I always wanted to know how did you two fall in love! Will you tell me Dattebayo?" I asked looking at both of them.

Dad chuckled, "Of course." I am hundred percent sure my eyes gleamed with happiness and excitement that I was so feeling. Then his face became serious, "We also want you to see what actually happened on that day. Do you want to?"

I nodded my head in affirmation, "Hai."

They smiled at me then looked at each. Dad snapped his fingers again and the gold clearing was gone and I could only sit back and see the important events of their lives.

After watching the whole thing, which ended with me crying and mom and dad hugging me whispering soothing words.

They died protecting not just the village but also me. He made sure I was safe. Their last memory, jumping in front of the claw to protect me.

Their last memory, their death. Their last fight. Their last words to me. Dad's wish. I cried, I couldn't hold back my tears and Tou-chan and Kaa-chan didn't say I was weak to cry, they in fact stayed by side, hugging me, telling me how much they loved me.

I wiped my tears and grinned at them, "It's official, your love story is by far my most favorite love story ever!"

They blushed in response with both of scratching their back of neck in embarrassment. Just like me!

I sobered and continued my questions, "On other note, another question though, why do I have the Sharingan? Well it's not really Sharingan but it ...uhm... looks like that. Did any of you have that? There is no book about it."

They frowned, dad replied, "This had frustrated us too. We don't really know about it actually but I doubt it has to do something with the Namikaze clan. Your mom didn't have any dojutsu so it's not hers but maybe of my clan. I really don't know. I never had much information about my clan, I was an orphan and there was nothing about Namikaze's in libraries. So who knows. Could you show me?"

I nodded and channeled chakra in my eyes. They look almost like the Sharingan but also exactly opposite. My irises stay the same blue but there are three white dots in them each just like the three black tomoes but instead they are white and not tomoe shaped but dots. There isn't anything special about the dojutsu is what frustrates me the most. Like what the hell is this supposed to do?!

"I haven't seen anything like this before dattebane." Mom whispered in confusion.

Dad nodded, "Me neither. Tell me about it."

"Well I don't feel any difference other than clarity in vision. Once I had accidentally channelled chakra in my eyes in night time when it was completely dark I could see, not the color but perfect shapes but I didn't know I had because of these eyes, I have always had a great vision even during night but yeah you catch my drift. Though there's this, I can memorize more when I am reading or just watching with these eyes. I learn or read faster. It's like they are just here to enhance my memory or something."

"So it gives you clear vision and photographic memory. Interesting. How about chakra drain? How many people have you showed it to?" Mom summarized and ended with a question.

"I never used it for long so I'm not sure about chakra problems seeing that I already have large reserves and Kurama. You two are the only ones to see actually, I tried showing it to Ero-sennin but he said there was no difference in my eyes, they were the same. Not just him but anyone that I try to show replies with the same answer. I thought it was my imagination in the beginning but.. "

"Tell me do they work the same even in the presence of anyone when you channel chakra in your eyes?" Dad questioned.

"Hai."

"Hmm.. I wish I could help you with these. I have a suggestion though if you would like to listen."

"Of course Tou-chan."

"As you mentioned earlier if helps you learn and read faster plus the photographic memory, I suggest now that you start studying again about any topic, you use them."

"It was quiet idiotic of me to not think this by myself. Arigatou Tou-chan Dattebayo!"

Dad ruffled my hair, "Before we start talking about not so serious topics and I forget this. Let me tell you, you amazed me by learning Rasengan in such short period but the rasengan was incomplete. My goal was to add an element to it but I couldn't do it, but I think you will be able to complete it. So, ganbatte Naruto!"

I grinned and nodded eagerly.

Mom clapped her hands and spoke, her hair flailing like nine tails again but this time she had a sweet smile on her face making her look even more dangerous.

'Mothers are scary, Shikamaru and Kiba were so right.' I concluded mentally and shuddered.

"Gambling I hear?"

I gulped nervously.

"N-nw no-w Kaa-chan.. I can ex-explain?"

I looked towards dad for help but he seemed to be in a deep prayer furiously asking Shinigami and Kami to spare my life. I gulped again but not before sweat dropping at my father.

"You better not lose money young man!"

Dad and I anime fell and she laughed seeing our dumbfounded expression.

She continued with a playful yet solemn tone, "Naru-chan, wish I could beat up that old pervert and Kakashi baka for not training you enough but well, what can I say. That pervert is just like that but he has helped enough, hasn't he? And Kakashi.. he hasn't had a pleasant childhood ttebane. He is trying his best though so don't hold any grudges against him. You are improving by yourself so I think it's a good change." her eyes softened "Why don't you tell us about your goal."

I thought about it, "I want to become a great Hokage! Even better than Tou-chan. But.. I always also had the dream behind the dream of becoming hokage that was to get people to acknowledge me but I realize now. No body knows the real me, not even people try to. It's not like people have not cared for me or acknowledged me. Only a handful of people have and I am honestly grateful. No matter what Ero-sennin or Kakashi sensei didn't or did teach me but they have been there for me. It's just that, today when Tou-chan hugged me, you hugged me, both hugged me together, I felt love. I finally felt like I belonged somewhere,maybe I want to be there for people like me and make them feel like they belonged somewhere too. When I was crying, you both sat with me trying to calm me down and now you two together sitting and listening to me patiently, this has never happened before. Nobody has ever done that... this feels different, it's almost like I feel this is what they must call home. I want to be a home to someone too. I'd be satisfied even it's one person. I may have not made any sense but I just want to. Dattebayo!"

They smiled, tears bristling in their eyes and I had the same, they were slowly fading away. I wanted to see them more and store them perfectly in my memory so I quickly wipe my tears away, channeled chakra in my eyes and stared at them and they stared back lovingly.

Mom started, "You do, you do make sense. We understand. Do your best like you always have been. Don't stray away from your path and continue like you have been doing. Be careful and take care of yourself. Stay healthy and never be too proud of yourself. As for being happy and falling in love, like you heard me before, I hope you find someone soon, rather be a boy or a girl, just make sure that person is a good one. Find someone either like me or your Tou-chan. Someone with you feel like what you just referred as 'home', I feel the same with your Tou-chan too ttebane. No much gambling from now, you are our heir you will have enough money but don't be too dependent on it either and spend carefully. Hope you achieve your all your dreams. I wish I could see more, have been there for you and stayed and stay by your side when you were growing and are still continuing to grow. But... Thank you for making me a mother Naruto. Thank you for being my son. Dattebane!"

Dad continued, "We are glad you are our son Naruto. Like you heard me earlier, my advice as a father to you is that listen to your motor mouth mother. You have our blessings. You will achieve great things. I know it. My Shisou and my dream was to attain peace, I believe you will bring that peace I couldn't son. Thank you for being our son. Making me a father, a proud father. I am sure you will achieve your dreams... Daijoubu, you are our son after all!"

Mom spoke again, "We always wanted to say this," and they both simultaneously cheered, "Happy birthday Naruto."

Dad continued, "For past 16 years we wanted to tell you... We love you!"

I ran to them and we family hugged. I couldn't stop my tears anymore.

"Thank you Kaa-chan Tou-chan, this was the best birthday ever. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for everything. I am blessed you were my parents. Thank you. I love you both too. I love you both so much! Keep looking over me, I will make you guys proud. Dattebayo!"

"We will always be with you. A part of us is still with you. Just not here," Dad pointed at where my heart was "but also all around you, always with you. I love you."

And with those parting words they faded away in sparks together holding me in their arms, smiling and I knew they will always be looking over me just like that. The sparks fell all over my body and cried seeing everything around me shining. They are my Suns. My two shining Suns.

~ Real World ~

Kakashi was walking to the waterfall, thinking about relaxing knowing its Sunday and his team didn't have any meeting or mission today.

When he reached near the waterfall, his favorite place. He saw a lean figure, dressed in shades of grey, meditating peacefully. He walked closer and realized it was Naruto.

Kakashi POV~

Naruto? What is he doing here? That too meditating. I've never seen the boy look so quiet. On another note he looks really different from the last time I saw him. No orange even. He looks dare I say nice. Grey brings out the color of his hair. His eyes must compliment the color as well. He must be having a free day today too. That's good, I wanted to meet him. I was going to stop by his place to give a basket of fruits and vegetables but now that he's here in front of me, I don't need to find any excuses to see him.

I walked closer to him. Maybe I could ask him for ramen. He'd feel good, it's been three weeks, he must be feeling alone. Not to mention I miss his presence too.

I walked closer and took better look of his face, why is he crying? And he has a smile on his face.

He looks so beautiful, so peaceful.

I don't want to ruin his peace. I should wait for him to come back from his meditation.

Thinking that I walked up to a nearby tree and engrossed myself in my book.

Mindscape, Naruto's POV~

I was back in front of the cage of Kurama. I walked up smiling at Kurama and tore off the seal. He lazily walked out and stretched like cat. I grinned at him he grinned back and brought his fist in front of me, me copying his actions and we fist bump. I felt tingling all over my body and chuckled lightly. After a few minutes it stopped and I could already feel the new energy in me.

"I enhanced your senses and also I would be able to look, smell and feel through your body when I want to. You can block it too. Now go human before I decide to eat you!" he broke the silence.

I chuckled "Yeah yeah I'm leaving you grumpy fox. Just one more thing before I leave." I replied.

His eyes held curiousity and before he could ask anything I closed my eyes and imagined a waterfall much bigger than the one I am near now, tall trees and different flowers, clear blue sky and clear white clouds passing ever so slowly. There was no Sun though. The temperature comfortably warm. A den in which there was an overly large cushioned bed and big dishes of meat around it. Instead of the cage now there was black collar with kanji for seal written with golden color on it, no leash attached. Kurama could freely walk or run around the open field.

I looked over at Kurama and grinned he grinned back and I said, "This was the day you were sealed in me. I hope you won't hold any grudges against me but from today 10th October is not just my birthday. It's also the beginning of friendship. Arigatou for being there and watching over me Kurama and I promise you I will find a way for you to come out without me dying soon someday. Dattebayo!" I vowed sincerely.

"Happy birthday kit." Kurama said fondly eyes clearly shining with gratitude.

"Thank you Kurama."

I smiled and opened my eyes to reality.

I still had tears streaming down my face and a smile I couldn't get rid of. I did a little happy dance.

Kakashi POV~

"Gahhh he is so handsome and she is so beautiful and he, he is so strong! Eeep! I wanna be like them! Gahhh I can't! Kawaii!! They are so cute Dattebayo!"

I saw Naruto dancing a little and saying weird stuff. I've never seen him so happy. What made him this happy, all while meditating? Hmm maybe I should stay a little while enjoy the show. A silent chuckle escape my lips and a smirk crawled on my face thinking that.

My eyebrows involuntary shot up, When did he become so graceful?

Is this really... Naruto?

I saw him walk to the stream all while him desperately trying to calm himself down. I can't deny he looks so kawaii!

He washed his face. The smile never seeming to wash off. I jumped down the tree I saw him tense so slightly and within a blink he relaxed. Hmm interesting.

I approached in my lazy demeanor, "Yo!"

He replied with a happy grin and I smiled myself seeing that. His smiles always make you smile, whether you want to OR not.

He replied, "Hey right back atchya Kaka-sensei. How are you this evening?"

What is wrong with him? When did he start addressing formally and that too to me?

I brushed it off desperately thinking it's not that big of a deal and he doesn't suddenly put me in category of strangers.

"Maa I'm good Naruto. Would you like to eat Ramen with me? My treat." I offered with an eye smile.

There goes my monthly pay. I sighed inwardly.

He narrowed his eyes at me. "Liar. You never pay even after spewing that same bull everytime."

"Maa maa.."

He snorted, "I apologize but I have a bento. Maybe someday else? Thank you for the offer though."

My eyes widen and I just stared dumbfounded.

Did he just reject ramen?

Did Naruto just reject Ramen??

Ramen?!

RAMEN?!?

NARUTO!!?

REJECT!??

RAMEN!?!?
