Disclaimer: Kishimoto owns Naruto.
A family. Someone who loves him. Who will be there for him and with him. Someone to say Welcome Home to him.
"So... who do I marry?" he asked as casually as he possibly can, which of course means shouting on top of his lungs.
"Hin... Um someone amazing."
"So... I married Sakura? Yes! I knew it, She realized idiot Sasuke was nothing compared to me, huh!"
"WHAT?! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO WAY! NEVER!" Older Naruto shouted while shaking his head back and forth. Okay I get it, not Sakura.
"Really? Then who. She has to be amazing to be married to the future Hokage! Believe it!"
Laughing older Naruto answers, "She is. She is beautiful and amazing and strong and the best cook ever! and more than anything she has loved us for us, for a long time. You see she is patient and she never wavers because she will never go back on her word!"
"What does that even me?" Honestly he was confused. But she truly does sound amazing like his older self said. She can cook..?
"Wait, she's an amazing cook? Ya right, nothing is better than Ichiraku Ramen.. OWW!" Dam another hit on the head? It hurts but he can't help and get happy to think how strong he is!
"I swear what's wrong with you? I said she is the best cook ever which means she is THE BEST!" Sighing older Naruto continues. "You see everyone has always viewed us as well a nobody. Like we didn't matter. I remember how in the Academy no one noticed us and when they did it was always nothing but negative... or you know comparing us to idiot Sasuke."
"Yeah.. so supposedly she sees me.. us right now?" No one saw him and when they did it was always with those same eyes. Looking at him like he wasn't important. Like he shouldn't even be there.
"If she has loved us for so long? Then where is she? If she truly loved.. loves.. ugh whatever right now then why am I alone?!"
Older Naruto was quiet for a while, maybe he didn't have an answer. Well it was nice thinking it was real for a while...
"She is wonderful, kind, and strong. But she's had her share of problems growing up. She has always been extremely shy because like us they don't truly see her as her. They only see what she should be not who she is."
"I don't understand.. I don't believe you!"
"When she confessed, I didn't really understand what she meant. You know love had to be the happy feeling you get when you eat a bowl of Ramen. But you know what, it's so much more than that. It's this feeling that won't leave you, even when you finished your ten bowls of ramen." Older Naruto said. Okay so she sounded pretty amazing. Like Ramen.
"I don't know. She sounds.. nice. But I still don't understand. Everyone hates me. How is it that she doesn't see me like everyone else does?" Because everyone acted like he shouldn't be there. Like he shouldn't have even been born.
Older Naruto set back down on the swing. He seemed to be thinking hard because he had a very serious expression on his face...
"The first time I heard someone say 'I love you' came from her. It was at the most unexpected moment. You see, We were pinned down about to be taken and she jumped in and fought the enemy in order to protect us. She said that thanks to us she was able to feel and be stronger. That she was willing to die because she loved us. Can you believe that? And then she was struck and all I remember was feeling so angry that someone could hurt her. But even then I didn't understand either. Then, later, once again she saved us. At a moment that I was ready to give up completely she wouldn't let me. She made me remember my ninja way. She has known me better than anyone. More than I knew myself because she knew what to say to help me restore my faith in myself." Chuckling Older Naruto added, "Honestly she has always known what to say to give us strength and courage, even since our genin days."
Naruto felt himself blushing. I love you? Saving him? Wow she does sound amazing.
"Who is she!? What's her name? Can I meet her now, PLEASSSE!?"
Older Naruto laughed, "No I'm sorry. You have to meet her at your own time. You will fall in love with her too, at the right moment."
Now he felt frustrated. Right moment? Right now sounded like the right moment!
"But why not now! I'm tired of always been alone."
"I know. But right now you are in that moment where you get distracted easily. You see Sakura-chan because she is loud and smart and constantly after Sasuke so she stands out. You go from training, playing pranks, to eating ramen in about five minutes! If you were to meet her right now you won't love her the way you both deserve. There's still so much you need to learn." Older Naruto got up and patted his head.
"It took a long time for us to realize how much she meant to us. It took a kidnapping, rescue mission and genjutsu and more to realize that the feeling for her was so much more than anything in our lives. It can hurt you, especially if she were to leave, but when she's there everything is that much brighter! Right now yes you would be happy with the brightness but you have so much to do and learn to truly appreciate it. It's not time yet to be with her."
Naruto stayed quiet. If in his future he was happy with her than maybe the wait will be okay. Maybe, but he honestly wasn't a patient person.
"Fine! I'll wait. But at least tell me how she looks! You know little details.. PLEASSSSEE!" So yeah he will wait but if he had a clue of what she looks like than maybe he could look out for her. HA! His older self will think he's just randomly asking and not realize the details given away. He was a genius!
Older Naruto blushed. "She is beautiful. Like she has these amazing eyes! Beautiful hair! Her skin is .. and her hands.. lips.. She is a princess! No words to explain. Then when her cheeks turn all pink..." Okay so he basically gave nothing away. DAM! He needs to find her!
"She recently cut her hair. Kinda like in her genin days." At this Naruto listened carefully. Yes! Actual details. Stupid old man.." Like always she looks beautiful but I like it especially because her eyes stands out more. And she says it's easier for her to maintain now because of our two kids.."
THUMP! Naruto fainted... Two kids!?
Thank you! For all the follows, favorites, and reviews! I posted this story just for fun not expecting much since i'm only writing for the fun of it. I never have any free time and when I do its fun to write.
Not sure how any of you will feel about this chapter but hope you like it! I want to make the next chapter about Boruto and Himawari but as Naruto in Shippuden. Since he was able to meet his parents, the topic will probably be best when he is older, agree? :)
