Naruto was once again causing trouble. Even as the Hokage he messed with people.
He looked up when he heard a knock at the door. "Come in." He laughed in a sing-song voice.
When Iruka opened the door a bucket of water poured on him. "Dammit, Naruto!" Iruka yelled.
"Hey, dad!" How's it going?" laughed Naruto while clutching his sides.
"Naruto, that's IT!" Iruka screamed at him. "I'm FUCKING DONE! I'm tired of this shit and I'm not gonna put up with it!"
Naruto stopped laughing. "What?"
"I came to tell you that I'm leaving Konoha." Iruka turned to leave. "I'm leaving tomorrow morning."
With that Iruka slammed the door on his way out.
Naruto's jaw dropped and he fell to his knees crying. "No, don't go...I need you."
LATER THAT NIGHT
Everyone was at a meeting that the Hokage had called. A spotlight lit up on Naruto and he took off his Hokage hat and tapped on the mic. "Umm, may I call Umino, Iruka to the stage please?" He asked with tears in his eyes.
Iruka stepped up the stairs and stood in front of Naruto. "What?" He glared at him.
"Iruka...Please don't go-" Naruto was cut off by Iruka.
"Sorry, Naruto but I'm done. I'm leaving and you can't stop me." Iruka turned to leave.
"WAIT!" Naruto held his hand out. "Just...Just hear me out okay?"
Iruka sighed. "Fine."
Naruto waved his hand and some music started. Then Naruto closed his eyes and started singing. Everyone knew that Naruto had an amazing voice but they didn't know that he could sing with such emotion.
On a screen some home videos of Iruka and Naruto played on a huge screen behind them.
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful I made it through
Dwelling in the past flash backs when I was young
Who'd of ever thought I'd have a baby girl and three sons?
Naruto pointed at his children. And then looked at Iruka again.
We went through that difficult stage
I found it hard to believe
Why my old earth had so many seas
But he's an older man
And due to me I respect that
I saw life for what it's really worth and took a step back.
Naruto took an actually step back and on the screen behind them it showed some videos of Iruka holding Naruto as a baby.
Family ain't family no more
We used to play ball at the school
Eat grits cause we were poor
Tryin to pick a channel
fix the hanger on the tv
Rockin hand me down pants wasn't easy
The screen showed some flashes of Naruto playing basketball alone and then Iruka would come up and play with him. Then it showed Naruto refusing to eat his breakfast because he didn't like it and him refusing to wear the oversized pants as well.
We survived winters
Snotty nose with no coats
We kept it real
But the other kids still had jokes
Sadly mommy and daddy left me from the day I was born
I didn't know nothing
But the new Hokage cried and handed me to Iruka
I guess he just wasn't strong enough he just went down
Next the screen showed Naruto as a baby being handed to Iruka by the Hokage. And then it showed Iruka putting multiple shirts on Naruto because no one would allow Iruka to buy a coat for the "demon boy". And Naruto blowing his nose due to a cold he'd caught.
Look it.
The both of us in a tiny little apartment
Roaches everywhere.
Just me and Iruka there
No one in bed
It would've been nice if we had one
I didn't like to sleep the sounds in night made me scared.
The screen showed Naruto and Iruka on the floor with a blanket while Naruto was crying into Iruka's shirt.
7:00 pluckin roaches out the cereal box
Using the same spoon
Watchin Saturday cartoons
Sugar water was our thing
Every meal was no thrill
In the summer
Free lunches held us down like steel
Some days I had to go to Kakashi's house with a note stating:
Hey, can I borrow some food I'm dead broke
The camera showed Naruto watching cartoons and Naruto and Iruka walking to the food shelter.
So embarrassed and I couldn't stand to knock on their door
My friends might be laughing
I spent food stamps at the store
Daddy rinse the paper towels
Use the newspaper
Look Ms. Tsunade gave us the couch
She's the neighbor
My whole youth was sharper the cleats'
Almost got two broken bones a couple of times
It killed me
The screen showed Naruto crying while some kids were making fun of him and then it showed them putting in the used couch from Tsunade. Then it showed Naruto crying from some injuries.
But I remember this
Dad would lick his fingertips
To wipe the cold out my eye before school with his spit
During school I'd get bullied running home to face
The owner trying to throw us out of our place
Sometimes I look up at the stars and analyze the stars and ask myself
Was I meant to be here why?
The screen went blank and Naruto had tears down his eyes but he finished the song
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful we made it through
All that I got is you-ou-ou
and I'm so thankful we made it through
You know daddy I love you
Naruto handed the mic to Iruka since he knew that Iruka knew the rest of the song. Iruka could sing really well too.
I sit and think about
All the times we went through all that pain
I always said I wouldn't cry
When I saw tears in your eyes
I understand your real parents aren't here now
But some way or some how
I will always be around
All the things that I did from yelling
to being there
Just know that I will love you always
Naruto cried when he heard what Iruka sang...Iruka had changed the words and came up with his own and it honestly touched Naruto.
Naruto wrapped up the last of the song
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful we made it through
All that I got is you
And I'm so thankful we made it through
The song ended and the crowd cheered. Naruto looked at Iruka and held the mic to his mouth.
"Are you really gonna leave me?" He cried with tears streaming down his cheeks.
Iruka had tears on his face as well and shook his head. "No." He ran to Naruto and hugged him.
