Chapter 11 Resolutions and Truths

A/N: Hello people and hope you have enjoyed reading my story so far! I am currently keeping this story up to at least now maybe 15-18 chapters long as I have many ideas for this story!! Anyways hope you enjoyed this chapter!!

"What?" Naruto was shocked beyond compare hearing what Tsunade said about his mother.

"I heard that she died giving birth to me when I was a baby… How can she be alive?" He asked knowing that was what he was told by some people.

"Who told you this?" Tsunade asked concerned of Naruto's well being.

"Sandaime-sama told me this when I was only around 7 years old."

"I know he wasn't the only one who told you this now did them?"

"No also…. He died saving me from village attacks." Naruto whispered.

"Anyways you know you heard of your mother in the stories do you not?" Tsunade asked as Naruto nodded.

"She had red hair and was one of the best shinobi's out there." Jiriya gave a nod.

"She also had your kind of determination and character. The skin color of yours matches hers as well. She usually puts your father in his place most of the times. She had some taste for ramen but your father was the one who loved ramen the most." Jiriya pointed out.

"How can mom be alive since she did giving birth to me right?" Naruto asked coldly.

"She was going to die I assure you but something happened to make her live again." Jiriya remembered it like if it were yesterday.

-Flashback-

"Hurry she is going to give birth you idiot! Be there for your first born!" Jiriya yelled.

"I'll be there after this." A young blonde man asked when the next words make him jump from his seat.

"You damned fool she might die so meet her and the baby before she might leave." Tsunade entered the room holding a small child.

"I'll be there right now." Minato moved from his seat seeing a small bundle of yellow.

"Is… Is that… Is that him?" He said walking towards the small child.

"Yes this is him… Minato he was just born." She gave Minato the small child telling him how to hold him correctly.

"He… He looks so…" He was lost at words.

"Beautiful." Tsunade finished.

"How is Kushina? Is she alright?" Tsunade shook her head.

"It's not good and we are doing all we can to help her out." She told as Minato had his eyes widen at the statement.

"Let me see her." He told as Tsunade and Jiriya led the way.

"Tsunade-sama we need your assistance and Hokage-sama please refrain from being inside along with you as well Jiriya-sama." One doctor told.

"That is my wife in there!" He roared still holding tightly onto the child.

"I know Hokage-sama and we are trying our best to heal her as best as we can to heal her sir but we can not do it as you are inside this room!" Minato stood away looking at his child.

The child fluttered his eyes open and he saw a cerulean color with tanned skin and small fingers. He gave a small smile and brought his hand up to touch Minato's face. He gave a giggle and Minato smiled.

"We will get through this right?" He grabbed the small fingers and smiled.

"Minato sit down for awhile and we need to see of there is anything wrong with the baby." Tsunade informed and she looked at Jiriya who gave a knowing glance.

"Alright." Minato handed his child.

"Thank you." Tsunade walked away and Jiriya walked closer.

"They'll be fine… I'll make sure of it." Jiriya whispered as Minato blinked.

"Yeah… I know they will." He gave a smile.

-End of Flashback-

"After that we find out that Kyuubi attacked and was terrorizing everything in its path." Jiriya whispered.

"We couldn't do much and that's when you were sealed with Kyuubi inside of you. Your father was the greatest man to have ever done that. I can see it now with you and Kyuubi." He added and Naruto had his face down.

"I'm for sure that came true since no one can live out of that." Naruto looked up. "What happened with my mother? Also about this picture…. I mean I could have been just a week old baby but with my dad-"

"Minato miraculously lived after that sealing but not for long… He died a week later on the same day that picture was taken." Naruto's eyes widen in realization. "I know that you would say how can that be right? He told me that the shinigami gave him time to live before he went to his stomach… We found out that he was only given a week and after that we could no longer find your mother but word gave us that she is still alive." Naruto clutched the picture and tears streamed down his face.

"B-but why was Sasuke in the picture along w-with his father?" Jiriya gave a soft smile before speaking up.

"Minato and Fugaku resemble both you and Sasuke in a brotherly manner I mean. They were rivals and became best friends… One became Hokage while the other was the best ANBU force." Naruto stood up.

"Yeah father took the Hokage like Sasuke and I…. I'm like Fugaku a heartless ANBU soldier." He said before walking upstairs.

"Naruto wait." Tsunade called out and she looked at Jiriya.

"I know why your mother left Konoha." She gave a pause. "I was there when she left." Naruto stopped moving and turned to face her.

"Tsunade you knew all this time!" Jiriya hollered angered that he wasn't told.

"She told me to never tell anyone until a few days after her son's 14 birthdays." She told and Naruto waited for an explanation.

"She's coming home Naruto and will you accept her or not? She'll be home around next year. She will stay here with me and Jiriya until you allow her home." Tears began falling from her face.

"I'll meet her when I am ready." Naruto replied.

"She'll be here soon within five days. That necklace was hers Naruto. Hope you will accept her." Tsunade soon left with Jiriya in silence and Naruto rushed his ways upstairs locking his door.

Naruto couldn't see his parents or his mother for that matter. What will she say if she saw what the village has done to him? Will she love him and care for him or will she scorn him as he was the fault of her husband's death? Tears began flowing down his face and before he can control his emotions but now they are spilling like tidal waves crashing over and over again. Never-ending cycles of tears and heartache came to burst inside his heart with immense pain. How can he accept him for what his mother did to him? She left him alone and orphaned to a world that once in the beginning never accepted him. S place were he was beaten and spat at for something he had never done. Slowly gaining his bearings he covered his face and sobbed his way out of this.

-5 Days Later-

New Year was fast approaching and people began to go buy food and get ready for the next year. A festival was about to begun slowly making people cheer when a young woman with blood red hair faced the large gates of Konoha. She clutched her robe and looked behind her to see her husband with a cover above his face. A small bag lay at her side and her husband faced the gates with a mournful look.

"We are back at Konoha." The woman whispered as the said man gave a nod.

The young woman covered her mouth and was soon to cry remembering her last memory when she left.

-Flashback-

"I'm so sorry." She gently brushed her lips over a small child's head that was at the moment peacefully sleeping in his cradle.

"I'll come back…. I promise." She pulled a small sheet over the baby and quietly left the room closing the door.

She walked through Konoha in utter silence and saw a blonde hair woman looking up at her.

"Why are you doing this!?" She yelled in anger surprising her form her saddened thoughts.

"I-I can't take care of him let alone myself!" She retorted only for it to become a squeak from her emotions.

"I-I… I'm leaving Konoha and will come back around when it's December 30 at the same year my son just turned 14." She pulled out a necklace shakily.

"G-give these to him… 5 days before I come and please tell him the story." With that she ran off outside of Konoha.

-End of Flashback-

"I-I'm sorry." She cried falling on her knees sobbing as hard as she can.

"He'll be alright." Her husband whispered to her.

"I only hope that he won't try to reject us." She looked forward to see people having a fair when she saw a blonde male figure.

Her eyes widen in shock as she saw her son moving along the streets with a blank look with three people besides him with bubbled laughs. Only he was the one who spent it in silence as he followed them.

"I see you can back." A blonde hair woman told wearing a kimono.

"Yes I have." She gave a bow of respect.

The older woman walked closer astonished to see the man with her. Looking at the young red hair woman she gave a glare.

"Everything is all set and…" She looked at the other person. "You've got a lot of explaining to do."

"Yes Tsunade-sama." She bowed again.

"Okaeri nasai Kushina." Tsunade gave a small smile.

"Tadaima." The woman named Kushina sadly smiled back.
