I Don't Own Naruto.
Okay. Happy Birthday Naru-kun!
I thought it just seemed right to write a birthday one-shot for everyone's favorite Orange Wearing Ninja. This does go with the proven MinatoxKushina theory. So yeah R&R.

It was Naruto's sixth birthday; he had been kicked out of the orphanage a week before and given an apartment, and he was going to start the Academy in a week.
Unfortunately he had had needed food and was now in an alley hiding from a mob that, as he was looking for somewhere he could buy food. While the mob hadn't found him, yet, they were close. Suddenly an ANBU turned into the alley he had a Rat mask on, with a Ne symbol between the brows.
Now Naruto had been taught to trust ANBU, but something about this man put him off, maybe it was chalk pale skin, or the greasy black hair, he didn't know. But he didn't know that the weird ANBU scared him.
The ANBU motioned to the crowd motioned to the mob and they rained down on the poor boy.
Soon the boy was little more than a bloody pulp, but even then they didn't stop. The Rat masked man, heated a branding iron with a quick but extremely hot Kanton Jutsu, before forcing it on to the boy's back.
Naruto stopped whimpering, as he shrieked form the fire that seemingly engulfed his back. This caught the attention of the Sliver-Haired Dog Masked ANBU captain who had just come on watch. Knocking out the man on his squad who was in charge of Naruto's watch, memorizing who it was he leapt down making the hand sign for Chidori, he caught a flash of white and the symbol 'Ne'. As soon as the crowd had scattered he deactivated the Jutsu, and scooped the boy up.
Heading to the Hokage's office, he watched in awe as the boy's injuries began to knit themselves back together, except for the brand on his back, the symbol for 'Kyuubi'. He cursed. By the time he reached the office, only the brand remained, with the exclusion of the boy's not waking.
A short notification of the Hokage, and an awakening later, Naruto had been escorted back to his apartment. He thanked Inu-san, and walked in to go to bed. But looking at the table he was shocked, there was a small cake, with six candles, a card and a wrapped gift.
Naruto was shocked who give him a present or a card then the Hokage-Jiji. He tore open the envelope to see the card, reading,
Happy Birthday Naru-chan.
Love,
Your Otou-san and Okaa-san
Naruto then tore into his present, pulling out a Toad Wallet, and a pair of green motorcycle goggles. Dancing around in happiness he ate the cake, savoring every bite, and then holding the wallet to his chest the goggles perched on his brow, he drifted into a happy sleep.
Above him two ghosts floated, on with long red hair and emerald green eyes, while the other looked like the boy older and without the whisker marks. A sound drifted down on the happy boy's ears…
"Happy Birthday….
Son."
