Kushina was smiling broadly; her baby angel was growing up! It seemed like yesterday when he was born. He was so tiny and beautiful… OK, so he was still beautiful, much more than before.
And now, he was turning one year! Such a big boy he was... He was sitting on a sofa, looking absolutely cute in the orange outfit of a fox. Minato protested against the fox, he still had nightmares, but she disagreed. Naruto was in his best light in that outfit, with fox ears and fox tail, his whisker marks only adding to the cuteness.
First that came were Uchiha's; Fugaku blank faced, Mikoto smiling, Itachi curiously peeking behind his father and Sasuke holding a big package.
"Why don't you two go and play with Naru-chan?" Kushina asked, right after she saluted them. Sasuke wheezed past them and disappeared into the living room. Itachi, however, gracefully followed him. There was a loud squeak from there, notifying them that Sasuke was smothering Naruto, again. Minato appeared out of nowhere, Kakashi and Rin right behind him.
"Oh, Fugaku, Mikoto, so nice to see you!" A glance his student's way and they were already with the kids.
"Hokage-sama." Minato grimaced, but let it will his friends stop with this nonsense... Like summoned, Hiashi and his daughter appeared, along with her older cousin, Neji. Minato eyed the little girl, narrowing his eyes in displeasure. Hinata stoically endured it with a small blush. Kushina showed the kids to the room, where Kakashi was currently throwing Naruto in the air, while Sasuke was sending his weak version of the Uchiha glare.
As soon as Naruto saw Hinata, he yipped and asked for Kakashi to let him down. Sasuke moved to embrace him, but Naruto walked past him only to greet Hinata with a wet kiss on the cheek. Kushina started chuckling at the broken look in the littlest Uchiha; Itachi was already patting him on the head, comforting him.
"Hina!" Naruto yipped happily then pulled her over to Sasuke. "Sasu!" Sasuke glared down the girl; who didn't found it that terrifying. I mean, she withstood Hokage, right?
Naruto smiled brightly, making the two littlest ravens blush.
"Sasu kissu Hina too!" Kakashi, even snickering, felt proud over Naruto's speech. It seemed those lessons really did pay out… That, or Naruto was a really advanced.
Sasuke face was dislodged in confusion. Naruto giggled, before kissing him. Open mouthed and blushing, Sasuke touched his cheek.
"Kissu! Kissu!" Hinata paled, obviously not liking the situation. Kakashi decided to butt in and save the little ravens from humiliation.
The rest of the day was spent chasing the kids around the house, because the bastardy little Neji proposed a game of hide and seek. Kakashi had an easy time finding them; Itachi and Neji were always just behind the door not that interested in the game. Sasuke and Hinata, however, were both glued to the blonde foxy. Once he found them in the bathroom upstairs, each pulling Naruto to their side, all the while glaring at each other. It might've ended in a fight, but Rin and Kakashi stopped it in the right time.
It was time to go home, which was easier than any other day when Sasuke was there; Mikoto simply picked up the sleepy Sasuke, said goodbye to the Namikaze family and left. Minato was happy that nothing serious happened, like that devil and witch devouring his sweet baby.
He thanked the Gods birthdays came once a year; that meant none of the two could come near his baby soon.
His hope was shattered when the previously mentioned devil and witch came next morning, accompanied by their mothers and jumped his adorable angel. While her husband was running around the house, squeezing the life out of their son and the two little ravens chasing them; Kushina was enjoying a nice cup of tea with her two friends, smiling at the lively atmosphere.
Chapter VIII: Naruto was feeling uneasy, for a week now he was hearing a voice. He wasn't that sure to whom the voice belonged, but it sounded rough, old and… caring? He didn't want to tell tou-san and kaa-san about it, he was sure they'd laugh. But maybe, K'ashi could help!
