-Naruto's Home-
Yawn!!!
Kyuubi opened his eyes to see the blanket of white around their home stretching out his limbs as he pulled on a red coat. Naruto was checked out of the hospital just a week ago along with Sasuke. Now it was soon to be Christmas as all shinobi's including the Hokage was attending a winter vacation for three weeks. Sasuke bunked with his older brother in the same room and Naruto was told to be resting rather than running around doing hard core training. Kyuubi managed to heal Naruto all the way but he too was tired from all the chakara he used to heal. Naruto's arm was now supposed to heal on its own but nevertheless he can now walk around.
"Morning!" Kyuubi greeted accidentally tripping over the stairs in the process.
"Gyaahh!!!!" There was a loud thump as everyone turned to face him.
Sasuke sat in his chair drinking a cup of hot cocoa with a blue robe around his body. Itachi sat across from his brother drinking some coffee as they had just watched some T.V. while Naruto was reading a book on the dinning table. He flipped another page ignoring the antics and the thumps from Kyuubi's fall. Sasuke however, chuckled and drank another sip. Kyuubi picked himself up and yawned trying to act like nothing had just happened. Naruto got up moving towards the kitchen grabbing a glass of water downing it.
"What are we going to do for Christmas?" Kyuubi asked as everyone just looked up at him.
"Nothing much I guess." Sasuke told sipping another.
Rumor spread around quickly from the hospital onto the streets of Konoha. The whole council resented Naruto much more but the young blonde took it to no heed. It was just like a normal day in Konoha as people grew up rumors around the area saying that Sasuke and Naruto make sense as a couple and so on. Kyuubi looked at his depressing group.
"Naruto want to go out?" Sasuke asked his lover getting up from his seat standing next to Naruto.
"I don't know where you want to go." He told as Sasuke hugged him.
"Sasuke where do you want to go?" Itachi asked seeing the nice weather of snow blanketing the area.
"I don't know around the area and play snowball fights…. Older vs. the younger." He smirked as Naruto blushed.
"W-what?" Naruto looked at Sasuke seeing him happy with the decision.
"Oh, how kinky you are outside nonetheless." Itachi told as Naruto understood the answer giving away a huge blush as Sasuke chuckled.
"No way… Not like that however I know…. Maybe I should try that trick." He told.
"S-Sasuke." Naruto said as Sasuke shrugged.
"Never mind and how are we going to celebrate our Christmas now?" Sasuke told.
"Oh yeah it is coming up in a week isn't it." Itachi drummed his fingers over the couch.
"Maybe I should bring out our piano at home and does a Christmas party over there with all the Konoha people." Itachi told.
It was true that some people began to forgive Sasuke and Sakura gradually over time but there were some given glares especially from the well known team 8. Kiba still blamed Sasuke over Naruto's change of character and Hinata was becoming a bit sincere however kept a well good distance between them. Shino was more impassive but told a few jokes here and there but never to the old supposed team 7 excluding Naruto.
"I guess and I'll go around and invite people." Sasuke told knowing that no one was too decline the party especially if it were given by the Hokage himself.
"Alright then and lets get moving our stuff at the residence there." Kyuubi gave a well knowing nod as Naruto still sat reading his book.
"Naruto get off of the couch and let's help pack the party." Kyuubi muttered showing his large canines.
"It won't be for a week now wills it so it doesn't matter as I want peace and quiet around this time of year." He flipped another page.
"Fine but you are still coming whether you want to or not." Kyuubi packed another bag.
Naruto snorted and walked his way to his room shutting the door. Putting his book down him rested upon his bed closing his eyes when something made his heart cry out. Tears flowed and he tried to wipe them away only to fall asleep crying.
-1 Week Later-
Everyone that was a part of the well known rookie nine began to gather there presents and traveled there way down to the Uchiha mansion. Others grunted about the party even a given few did not like this party because the known demon boy was going to be in it. The snow blanketed the streets and people ran over to relatives giving gifts and having merry going on. Stores were closed for the Holiday and children ran outside to enjoy the Christmas throwing snow balls.
"Great another party by the infamous Uchiha brat." A blonde woman huffed holding a bag load of gifts.
"Maa, Maa Tsunade calm down will you." A white hair sannin told holding another bag that was his wife's gifts to be given.
"Yeah Tsunade don't ruin the party after all…. This might be the chance to get Naruto's cheery side back on track." A lazy shinobi muttered giving a yawn holding his generous gifts as he pulled them up.
His phone rang and he immediately picked it up putting it to hid ear giving a greeting when he had a happy expression and then rushed towards the party. (Told you there is going to be some of my own characters) Anyways he went over to the Uchiha residence along seeing other attend the party. Sakura wore a Christmas red dress with a green scarf over her neck. Kakashi sat by having a green scarf holding his supply of gifts. Everyone then looked at the door hearing a crash and hollering inside.
-Inside the House-
Itachi looked at his design of his tree with the large ornaments that had a emblem of every clan in Konoha with gold accents around them. Kyuubi had his ornament with a fox on it sticking out his tongue. Naruto had his spiral ornament to resemble the Uzumaki clan as well as his Namizake clan from his father's side. It was orange covered in a blue spiral saying Uzumaki. Sasuke and Itachi had each of their own Uchiha design as they were both dark blue with the red and white fan surrounding it. Foxes roamed around the tree sniffing out the contents of the boxes. Naruto being used to having not much a Christmas read another book that was in the Uchiha home giving a yawn.
"You idiot!! It was supposed to have green and red for Christmas colors!!" Sasuke yelled at Itachi for their ornaments.
"Fine and everyone is outside waiting for us if you don't mind at all keeping them await." Itachi told making some food as he cooked for the Atsuki as everyone knew how to burn the food rather than making it good.
"Okay and here I go." He muttered and Kyuubi puts own his red shirt with a green tree printed on it as he had no other shirts that had a Christmas emblem on them.
Opening the door people bustled in putting on their coats in the appropriate places shaking off the snow that bestowed their bodies. Sakura gave a comment to everything as people grumbled from the cold rather than the decorations.
"Its so freaking cold outside and you kept us waiting for hours outside!" Tsunade bellowed.
"Sorry but these people here didn't do anything to assist me." Pointed Itachi to other hosts.
Naruto stood up and gave a bow towards everyone kissing the hands of all the young ladies. They all blushed and the others were shocked as Naruto barely gave any social like standings to anyone for the past year.
"Merry Christmas young ladies and gentlemen." He told giving a cool wink as Sasuke felt anger rise inside him.
"Got jealous… Oh Mighty Uchiha." Retorted Kiba as Akamaru barked in agreement.
"Nope not at all jealous." He told.
"I see and then how is Naruto treating you nowadays." Everyone turned their heads towards Naruto and Sasuke.
"A bit better but still quiet nonetheless." Sasuke answered as Naruto moved his way to turning on the music.
Rudolph the red nose reindeer.
Had a very shiny nose.
If you ever saw him.
You would even saw it glows.
Naruto switched the song feeling its corniness towards the song.
Du
Du hast
Du hast Mich
Du hast Mich gefragt
Du hast Mich gefragt, und ich hab nichts gesagt
"What the hell?" Naruto turned towards the next channel.
"When did you have a German radio station?" Ino questioned.
"Ah nothing just leave it be." Itachi told as everyone heard a different song.
We wish you a merry Christmas.
We wish you a merry Christmas.
We wish you a merry Christmas.
And a happy New Year.
Great tidings to you.
For you and your peers.
Great tidings of Christmas.
And a Happy New Year!
The song repeated over and over again as people started dancing around. Kakashi danced with Iruka his lover and Tsunade was with Jiriya. Kiba asked a dance from Hinata as the Hyugga blushed by the statement taking Kiba's hand. Mellow music came in and people danced around the room having a merry time.
"I guess the brat's party was not so bad after all." Tsunade mentioned drinking another glass of sake.
"Yup such a grrreeeaat par…ty." She drowned out.
"I think that was too much beer I guess." Jiriya asked another glass of sake from the bar.
Naruto looked in the desks seeing Christmas movies taking them out licking his fingers from the candy cane sweets he had been given. He looked seeing a picture of something odd seeing a picture of two babies and two fathers. What surprised Naruto was that one father had blonde hair, blue eyes and the other seemed to be Sasuke's father. Putting the picture in his pocket he took out a movie called the Grinch playing it on the TV.
"People let open our gifts now!!" Kiba hollered as other shouted yeah out loud.
"Who is going to go first?" Sakura asked as people pointed to Naruto who huffed.
"What do you want me to do?" He huffed.
"Open the gifts we gave you!" They shouted as Naruto sat on one of the cushions grabbing one gift opening it slowly.
It was an orange sweater that was given by Hinata who hand sowed it for him. He kept opening each gift seeing more gifts when he reached the Sannins gift. Shaking it slightly he left it on the ground opening it up gently. It was a gold necklace with a large Uzumaki spiral on it for the family emblem.
"What is this Tsunade-sama?" Naruto asked as Tsunade sighed.
"Tell you later… Let's keep this party going." She muttered as people went on to the next gift for each person.
Many people around the area can hear hollering and a lot of crashes from the people. There was some karaoke going on and Naruto and Sasuke were tied on being the best singers as the others came in second or third place. Beers littered the ground with alcohol coming up to their noses in high levels. People became drunk including the young ladies who were given a room to hang out in. They played truth and dare as Naruto never participated as people were drunk excluding him. His alcohol tolerance was so low that he would have puked and passed out within the 2nd bottle of drinking. Going up to another room for peace and quiet in which he was in content in. Taking out the folded picture he inspected the photo gently seeing a small baby around them being cuddled.
"What is this?" He asked.
He dusted off the photo and saw a small bit of writing in it seeing a note behind it turning it over.
Minato,
I'm sorry to have left Konoha sp early and hope you and Naruto have a Merry Christmas.
Signed,
Kushina Uzumaki
"What?" Naruto said hearing that his mother died during child birth when the door creaked.
Sasuke entered the room seeing Naruto hold an old photo as the blonde quickly hidden it.
"Naruto what are you doing?" He asked drinking a cup of hot tea.
"Nothing… Sasu." He replied standing up as he crept towards the bed.
"Are you sure? The party is going to end soon but Jiriya and Tsunade want to stay over to speak with you."
"I'll be down in 30 minutes."
"Okay sees you." He closed the door leaving Naruto to stare at the photo.
Getting up he washed his face seeing people leave the door in drunken stations but Itachi and kyuubi was able to handle them quite easily. Sasuke went to assist them leaving the Sannins and Naruto alone. Going down the stairs slowly he looked at Jiriya and Tsunade pulling out the picture.
"Tsunade-sama and Jiriya-sama…" He called sitting down in the recliner in front of them.
"Naruto we want to speak with you regarding your parents." Jiriya mentioned with a serious tone.
"First answer my question." Naruto growled out making the couple look up at him.
"What's your question?" Tsunade asked.
Naruto pulled up the picture showing it to them asking.
"What does this picture mean?" Tsunade and Jiriya's eyes widen when seeing the picture.
"Where did you find the picture?"
"Just tell me what this picture means." Naruto asked in a serious and angered tone.
"That is what we were going to tell you about." Tsunade told when Naruto's eyes widen at her statement.
"Your mother is alive at Mizugakure." She replied as Naruto dropped the picture in shock.
"What?"
