Omg, I am so sorry I haven't updated in a while. I have two very good reasons why. (Well, one of them is, anyway.) Reason one: Recently, I've started this thing called school (again) and I haven't been able to get on in a while. Reason two: I'm going to be posting a new fanfic! It's an HP/FMA crossover. I've been reading them a lot, and I decided that I'd (try to) make one. So, I will probably post that as well.

I'm uber sorry, I know this chapter's going to be shorter than my previous ones. But I believe it to be important. I know, sadly, that this story may not go beyond fifteen chapters. But, the development of the story's going well, so there may be a sequel! Anyway, onward with the story. Review and Enjoy!

~Recap~

"How do you know Kushina, Minato?" Naruto asked, tilting his head to the side, which Minato and Kushina secretly thought was adorable.

Minato smiled, and walked over, draping an arm around Kushina's shoulders which Kushina smiled, if possible, even more.

"This in my fiancée, Uzumaki Kushina."

~End Recap~

"Fiancée?" Naruto asked. He blinked. He stared at Minato and Kushina, who in turn started to squirm a bit under his unwavering gaze. But that didn't last long.

"That's so cool! I didn't know you were taken, Minato. I thought that you were single, the way the women look at you." He smiled a foxy smile.

Minato blushed, and Kushina raised an eyebrow. But she soon grinned a foxy grin of her own. "I like you even more, Naruto!" Kushina exclaimed. Naruto just smiled again.

Minato sighed; this was going to be difficult. He could deal with someone as eccentric as Kushina. Sure she was a bit wild, but he could manage. But then that's where Minato came into the picture; he was exactly like Kushina, and he didn't know if he could deal with two Kushina's.

Shaking his head, he looked to Naruto. "Well, now that that's solved, why don't you follow me back to the tower, Naruto. We'll get your living arrangements all sorted out." Naruto nodded, and began walking back to the Hokage tower. Having nothing better to do, Kushina decided to tag along. Little did she, let alone Minato, know that her choice to come along would have an impact for what was to come in the future.

Naruto was deep in thought as he walked towards the Hokage tower with his unknowing parents. It was rather interesting, he thought, that they didn't notice the similarities that he had with the two. From his father came his looks, while his personality mainly came from Kushina. He doubted they would ever figure out that he was their son unless someone told them, or someone form the Nara Clan, presumably as smart as Shika, decided to take an interest in him. He really hoped the latter wouldn't happen; if any Nara, even if they weren't as smart as Shika, would undoubtedly be interested as to why he acted the same as Kushina, and looked like Minato. Though, he mused, it certainly would be an interesting thing to think about. He would have been curious about this himself, save for the fact that he would be solving the mystery that was him. That's why he hadn't told anyone his last name.

So in thought of what might have happened in the future, he didn't realize, nor did they, apparently, that one of them was walking on each of Naruto's sides, making them look like the normal family going on a walk. Except, it could never be normal when the Yondaime himself was in this family.

And so in thought about what may happened, he didn't realize himself going back into his memories, thinking of all his friends who were so far, yet so near. So, when Kushina looked at him to ask him of his favorite ramen, she gasped in shock, surprise, and, strangely, guilt, as she saw the war-torn eyes of a boy, no older than thirteen. His eyes, so brilliant a few moments ago, became a dull blue.

Minato, who had things on his mind , specifically where Naruto would live, turned his head at Kushina's gasp. Looking at her face, he looked down to Naruto's face, where he, too, saw the dull shade of blue. Guilt washed over his normally perfectly-controlled face. He didn't know what had happened to the boy, but he knew it must have been a painful past. He knew, boy did he know, that no person should have eyes like Naruto's. He could only wonder about the boy. Where was the boy from? How did he know Konoha so well? Was he a spy? And why does he remind me on myself when I was younger?

With these thoughts in mind, he entered the Hokage tower with Naruto and Kushina.

~Time Skip~

It had been a year since Naruto had arrived in the past. His life, to put it simply, was great. He was made a jounin, on the account of

A) When he got there, he was wearing a jounin vest.

B) The tests to show his skills clearly showed that he was clearly above jounin.

And C) Naruto wouldn't be anything other than a jounin.

The villagers liked him a lot, and he got along great with the kids. He trained everyday, practicing his kenjutsu-taijutsu (as well as separately) combo, and his nin-jutsu under a SS-class kenjutsu, on training field 131. No one thought to look for him there, believing that he may be practicing at the training fields at his house. Which brought him to another point of his great life; he was living with his parents.

It was decided that he would live with Minato, and therefore Kushina. He didn't mind, and neither did Kushina. The three of them got along great, almost like a real family. Though Naruto was careful, he almost slip sometimes, calling Minato 'dad', though he was able to correct it before anyone could catch it.

Though Naruto didn't like lying to them, he had no choice but to keep his past from his unknowing parents. He doubted if they'd believe him if he told them the truth, so whenever his past was brought up, he'd act uncomfortable, making Kushina and Minato guilty enough to quickly change the subject.

And while he enjoyed life as it was at the moment, Naruto knew to be in guard. He knew that this happiness, no matter how much he wanted it to, would not last forever. He knew something was coming, and whatever it was, it was going to be bad. But little did he know that that something was coming, and soon.

It had been a normal occurrence to see the Yondaime with his make-shift family going out to dinner, specifically Ichiraku's Ramen Bar. The three were happily chatting away, eating their ramen as they normally did.

The three of them jumped in their seats when there was a scream. All three turned around to a blinding flash of light. All covered their eyes, so to not be blinded. When the light had faded away, it had left all stunned.

Standing there was a boy about 5' 10". He was wearing a white, long-sleeved shirt, that was open, revealing his chest. He was wearing standard black ANBU pants, and black shinobi sandals. He had a sword, which was strapped horizontally across his back. Though his most stunning features were his jet clack hair, and his matching black eyes.

He looked around at the crowd until he spotted Naruto. He smirked, sending chills down the backs of villagers.

"It looks like you survives, Naruto."

And cut! That's the end. Review. Until next time!
