Tadaam. Well it was long time, but here I am with the new chapter. In the beginning I intended this chap and previous one to be one chap, but I got carried away then I was writing a fighting scene.( It is so interesting!) I forgot to ask your opinion. It was my first fighting scene and I really want to know how I did?

mtziggorot: That do you not understand? Just read and you will know what will come next.

Also some of you said you wanted relationship already, Naru/Kushi will be soon, but Naru/Mito will be in act 4( genin days will not be soon)

Let's go with the story already

Chapter 5: Unexpected demand

It was slightly cold and all his body arched with pain as if he slept on something hard and uncomfortable. But it wasn't possible because fell asleep on Weasel's lap. Well maybe it wasn't the most comfortable place to sleep but at least he shouldn't feel cold right now.

Naruto slowly opened his eyes and saw leaves and grey sky thru them. He was looking at the top of the tree under which he fell asleep. Then he quickly realized. This idea struck like lightning in his head. His torso lifted from the ground and as if clutching the last straw he desperately called out for him "Weasel-nii!"

But there wasn't any answer for him, it was too late. His teacher was gone. Naruto still couldn't believe that his only friend was gone. This stoic anbu just in one year became closer to him than his family (except mother of course). With him gone, some kind of emptiness left. It was consuming Naruto as this thought sink in his mind.

'He left. Now I am alone again' this fact was painful but fact nonetheless. He just needed to live with knowing that they probably will never see each other again.

Suddenly, like in some drama movie, it started to rain. 'You must be kidding me.' Naruto thought bitterly. Then he felt something cold in his clenched fist. He opened his palm and saw a necklace. It was showed three tomoes resembling that of sharingan. It was fully made of chakra absorbing metal and was black in color. Naruto stared at it for a long time not minding rain in a bit. And after maybe half an hour, after hard thoughts and happy memories, he put it around his neck. Then he got up and started to walk back home.

In Namikaze manor.

Jiraiya sat at the table and was looking at Kushina. Woman was making big dinner for all family because old hermit came to the village. Legendary ninja was always on the road, never stopping for long time anywhere. He had one of the largest spy network to maintain and this job was very important for the village. So then he came to visit she always made big dinner for all her family. The last time he visited year ago so it was quite pleasant event for mother of three children.

Kushina quickly made some tea to occupy old hermit till she was done and Namikaze-Uzumaki family gathered together. Sadly, not all of them because Arashi and Mito stayed in Uchiha house with Sasuke for a night.

"Thanks Kushina." He took steamy cup and took a sip. "So how are you Kushina?" Jiraiya asked her.

"Well Jiraiya it became quiet boring since last year. Minato is too busy with work and my children at this age then hanging with own mother is too childish for their like. I wish I was on active duty again. I was training pretty hard recently to return in shape. Thinking about doing some C or B missions." She told him that's was on her mind for quite long.

"True, if you were shinobi once, it becomes boring then you off duty. I can't even think about settling, it is just not for me. So, how brats are doing? There are they?" He began to question her again. It was already 8 past noon and they yet to appear.

"Oh, they are doing just fine. Arashi becomes more and more like his father. Only Minato wasn't pranking everybody he could. But it's nothing serious because Mito is always with him. She makes sure he won't do something bad. All in all they are bright and happy children." But after she said that, her smile vanished from her face and eyes became sad.

Jiraiya saw this but didn't ask about this sudden change. "I am happy to hear it. And what about Naruto? Is he with them now?" He tried to lighten the mood, not knowing he was making it worse.

"…"

"Something happened to him?" His voice filled with worry. What could possibly happen for Kushina to change her mood so quickly.

"I don't know Jiraiya. I really don't know. He became so distant. Not only with his siblings but with me too, and you know how he loves me, or loved, I don't know now. He is avoiding me. Naruto don't talk with anyone, he comes home late, all bruised. Maybe he gets bullied and worst of all I don't know that is happening and how can I help my son!" Kushina was on a verge of tears, her voice broken and defeated. She dropped that she was doing and sat to calm herself. She didn't want to cry.

Bright flash of yellow appeared in the kitchen and Minato appeared. He was smiling so hard, so he closed his eyes and didn't see his wife's state.

"I'm home Kushi-chan!" but he received no answer. He opened his eyes and saw Kushina sitting, her face her right hand covered her eyes." What happened?" he asked more for Jiraiya to answer.

"Well we talked about Naruto" Jiraiya replied and put hand on Kushina's shoulder.

Minato understood. Kushina could say anything but he knew Naruto was her favorite child and this situation with him hurt her very much. They already talked about Naru, but he assumed her everything was alright. Weasel reported that Naruto was training physically by himself outside of village. Minato told her it will be over then Naruto, Arashi and Mito go to the academy. But it was obliviously not enough to calm her down.

"Kushina-chan we already talked about that. We cant do anything about Naruto's behavior, we…"

"What wrong with my behavior may I ask?" Hollow voice came from entrance to the kitchen. Everyone looked in direction of speaker and saw redhead. He was soaked to the bone, his wet clothes clung to body showing his little frame, his long beautiful hair he prided so much now hanging from his head and looked awful. His eyes were covered by it. Kushina quickly ran to him, checking for nothing in particular. "My god, Naruto. Go to the bathroom and take off your clothes I will bring you dry ones."

He quietly nodded and went to the bathroom leaving his father and godfather dumbstruck in the kitchen.

Kushina already forgot her previous thoughts and ran fast to Naruto's room and searched there some dry clothes. After that she just as fast returned to bathroom there her son was. He stood there and didn't move. NOW she was worried! Something definitely happened. She decided not to ask him.

"Naruto, rise your hands, I will help you change. He quietly obeyed and allowed his mother to change him. She took of his clothes and began drying him with towel. Kushina gave his hair most attention because she knew he liked it so much. After that she dressed him in new clothes.

"Come Naruto, I will make you something to eat." She mentioned for him follow her to kitchen. But as she turned around his little hand grabbed her one. "That's wrong honey?" She asked worriedly.

"…. It's nothing. I'm tired and want to sleep so I just head to my room" he said.

"Of course honey, sleep well" She hugged him tightly and kissed top of his head. But he didn't move, he just hugged her back and stayed. They stayed in this position for a few minutes till Kushina found he was already asleep in her embrace. She smiled and lifted his little frame and took him to his room. As she was passing kitchen she told her husband and their guest that she will sleep with him and they can eat ramen she just cooked. Two males have been left in the kitchen still wondering that just happened, but they soon began to talk. "Well that was strange, don't you think" Jiraiya asked his prized student. "At least Kushi-chan smiling again and I'm happy. So, sensei what were you up to?"

Next morning

Naruto woke up from light falling on his face. Again. 'I have to do something about this' he thought. But then he noticed something off. He was in his room and in his bed. But never was his bed so good. It smelled so pleasantly and it was so warm. He nuzzled trying to feel more. And it was SO soft. He nuzzled even harder (a\n: sorry don't really know how it would be right). Another strange thing his head was like between two pillows but he had only one in his bed. 'Ah doesn't matter.' He tried to fix one of them and extended hand to do so. 'Hmm, this is very strange.' His hand grabbed something. It was heavier then pillow and more… full. He squeezed it, trying to understand that was going on. And then he heard a moan and his pillows vibrated slightly. Okay, jokes aside. THIS WAS STRANGE. He slowly opened his eyes. But he only saw darkness. That was understandable, because his head was buried between those strange pillows. He didn't want to move because he was so comfortable but he moved. And that he saw made his blood run cold (a\n: do not forget he is only six). His mother was sleeping in his bed. And he touched her breasts while she was sleeping. Naruto was ready to die. But as he looked closer he saw that she was still sleeping. "Safe" he mumbled to himself. Then he got time to admire his mother. She was very beautiful woman and he admired it in her too. But his movements woke her up and she yawned cutely. "Good morning honey." She smiled at him. Naruto smiled back, all his worries gone. "Good morning kaa-chan." He suddenly hugged his mother. "I am sorry kaa-chan" he said quietly. Kushina didn't know that was going on but still hugged him back. "There is nothing you should be apologizing Naru-kun" she told but he just shook his head. "No, I made you worry. Sorry for that. I won't leave you again."

Kushina was taken aback with his words and this little speech made her extremely happy. "Thank you, that means so much for me. I love you Naru-kun" "I love you too mom."

They stayed in bed silently enjoying their time. Naruto was first one to break the silence. "Kaa- chan I want to ask father…"

Downstairs

Minato was already seating in the kitchen sipping some coffee. Suddenly they heard loud shout "WHAAAT?" No doubt it was Kushina. They decided against checking that happened. I guess they were right. After half an hour Kushina and Naruto came from upstairs. Older redhead was scowling but didn't say anything just looked grimly between Naruto Minato. Last one was very scared as his son came closer and without a doubt wanted to say something that Kushina obliviously didn't liked. Minato gulped as Naruto stop and cleared his throat.

"Otou-san I want to go to the ninja academy."
