Back to the Village
"Mommy, I found brother!!!," yelled Mizumi.
Kushina came closer and closer, she couldn't believe her son was standing in her living room. She wrapped her arms around him and started crying, it's been 22 years since she saw him. Naruto wrapped his arms around her, he finally found his mom.
"I thought I'd never see you again…," murmured Kushina.
"Mommy," said Mizumi "Why does brother live in Konoha and we live here?,".
Kushina wiped the tears out of her eyes and told her why they lived so far apart.
"Well…when Naruto was born, the Nine-Tailed Fox spirit was placed inside him. Since I was Naruto's mother, but I was from a different village, they though I would turn traitor and use Naruto to destroy the Leaf village," said Kushina hugging Naruto tighter.
"Nine-Tailed Fox???," asked Mizumi giving Naruto leg a hug.
"I'll tell you about that later," replied Kushina.
"OK," remarked Mizumi as she skipped into her room.
"Mom…it's been 22 years, you never bothered to send me a message," said Naruto.
"I spoke with Jiraiya about talking to Lady Tsunade into letting me visit you, but it's been eight years since I've seen him, do you know where he is Naruto," said Kushina.
A tear dropped from Naruto's eye.
"He died a while back Mom," muttered Naruto holding back the rest of his tears.
Kushina's spirit sank, it was bitter sweet. Being with Naruto after 22 years and finding out Jiraiya died.
"Ol' Jiraiya, always putting himself in danger," remarked Grandpa.
"You know what Mom…," said Naruto.
"?," replied Kushina.
"I'm gonna bring you guys back to the Leaf Village," said Naruto.
"Naruto, I can't, they'll probably kill me," remarked Kushina.
"They'll have to kill me, before they can get to you guys," said Naruto.
Kushina nodded her head, going back to the Leaf Village would be nice.
"Mizumi, pack your stuff, were going on a long trip," said Kushina.
Right after she said that, there was a knock on the door. Naruto peered out the window to see who it was, it was Sakura, Sai, and Captain Yamato. Naruto let them in.
"Naruto, you shouldn't go off like this without telling us," said Yamato.
"I know, but I had something…important to do," replied Naruto.
"Naruto, who are these people," remarked Sakura.
"They're...my family," replied Naruto with a smile.
Sakura, Sai, and Yamato were shocked, Naruto didn't have relatives, but there they were.
"Your...your…family," stammered Sakura.
"Yup, my Mom, my Grandfather, and my little sister," remarked Naruto.
Mizumi walked out her room carrying a truckload of stuff.
"I'm ready," yelled Mizumi stumbling around the living room.
"Mizumi, we have guests," said Kushina.
Mizumi dropped all her stuff on the ground to see who they were.
"Mr. Whiskers, why is that man wearing make-up," asked Mizumi pointing to Sai.
Sakura giggled and Yamato tried to hold back laugh.
"Mr. Whiskers, who are these people," asked Mizumi.
"They're my teammates and sensei," replied Naruto.
"Cool," remarked Mizumi.
Naruto pulled Yamato aside to ask him for something.
"Captain Yamato, go tell Grandma Tsunade about letting my family live in Konoha, I have to help them pack," said Naruto.
"Sure, but why do they live here, if they're your family," asked Yamato.
"It's a long story," said Naruto.
"Sai, Sakura we have to go," said Yamato.
Without arguing Sakura and Sai left with Yamato and headed back to Konoha.
"Well I'm ready when you guys are," said Grandpa.
"Me too," remarked Mizumi.
"Well, there isn't much in this house that I have to bring, so let's go," said Kushina.
Naruto, Mizumi, Kushina, and Grandpa headed out the door and on to Konoha. After a few miles they came across the giant gorge.
"Well this'll be a problem," said Grandpa.
"Why," asked Naruto.
"I'm not as powerful as I once was," replied Grandpa.
Naruto made a clone and carried Mizumi and Grandpa over the gorge, while Kushina jumped by herself. The rest of the way was a cake walk, because there was no danger on the road to Konoha. Soon they entered the village.
"It's been 22 years since I've been here, it sure has changed. Naruto, is the Ichiraku Ramen shop still around?," asked Kushina.
Naruto took them to the Ichiraku Ramen shop, where Teuchi had the surprise of his life.
"Naruto nice to see…," said Teuchi as he saw who was next to Naruto.
"What's wrong?," asked Ayame.
"Your…your…Kushina Uzumaki…aren't you…," stammered Teuchi.
"Yes I am Kushina Uzumaki, It's nice that you remember me Teuchi," replied Kushina.
Teuchi dropped the bowl of ramen on the floor and Ayame was surprised when she heard "Uzumaki".
"Listen Mom, I have to go take care of something, you stay here with Mizumi and Grandpa," said Naruto as he took off into the direction of the Hyuuga Complex.
