Naruto's PoV

"C'mon Naruto, let's go get some ramen for breakfast!" I heard my mom call out.

I squealed gleefully at ran after her. The entire town was at ichiraku's, greeting me and telling me good morning.

Me and mom were happily slurping our ramen down.

"Naruto, let's eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, FOREVER!" My mom shouted out!
"YEAH!" I pumped my first into the air, and was getting ready to slurp some more ramen when …

"WAKE UP NARUTO!"

I gasped, and jolted out of bed, landing on my head.

"Owwie!" I said, slowly rubbing the bump that was rapidly growing on the back of my head.

I slowly opened my eyes to see a familiar face looking down at me, grinning from ear to ear.

"C'mon sleepy-head! It's the Sakura festival today! We need to get ready! Let's goooooo!" My mom shouted, jumping up and down on my bed.

I groaned, and got ready for the day.

Sonya's PoV

After scaring the crap out of Naruto and waking him up. I proceeded to us ready for the festival. I was extremely excited; Naruto (now 6) was old in enough in my opinion to really appreciate this festival. Plus, it was a great time to wear a new pretty kimono. I already had one picked out. Since my sandy gold hair had grown to mid-back I usually had to put it up to keep it out of the way if I was training.

I gave Naruto a bath before I let myself have one too. I put Naruto in a silk black and grey men's kimono, while I wore a yellow kimono with white petal designs on it, with a light pink obi. When I was little, I always looked forward to the Sakura Festival. It was a fun time to listen to music, eat some awesome

home-cooked food, enjoy a picnic under the sakura trees, dance, and all sorts of other crafts! I invited Kakashi to come with us, but I wasn't really sure if he'd show up. That man was always stupid late to things …

I made sure to pack extra money with me so that I could buy extra little goodies for Naruto. I also wasn't sure how much my little kit was going to eat … I sweat-dropped at the amount of ramen that boy could eat.

I was also nervous about going to the festival. I had been Naruto's mom for about 3 years now, and everyone knew not to screw with me or my son else they'd end up dead for in the hospital. I once had three thugs try and corner us in an alley. Lucky for them, I didn't quite kill them, Kakashi intervened at the last second (by swinging me((which I loudly let him know my anger at him)) and Naruto over his shoulders and dropping us off at our house while he went and got the medic nins …). There were a lot of people bound to come out for the festival, and I didn't want Naruto getting separated from us. There was also supposed to be some ambassadors from Suna come, so lots of people would be there to get a good look at em'. Rumors were that Gaara of the sand might be coming too. I didn't really understand what was so important about that. I've obviously been living under a rock the past few years … Something about his father was a jerk to him and he had the one tailed raccoon in him? Something along those lines, I'm sure I'll figure it out later …

I carefully slipped a few kunai in my obi, just in case I need to put some people in their places, and I wore my purple forehead protector as a headband to keep the hair out of my eyes. I went down stairs and cooked up a picnic lunch for us (which consists of three bento boxes! My favorites!) . After making sure everything was in order, it was time to leave.

"Let's go shrimp! We're going to have a fun day today!" I shouted to Naruto.

He gave me a glare at calling him shrimp, but quickly ran to my side.

"Ok Naruto, you need to stay by my side the entire time. I don't want us getting separated and me or Kakashi having to come save you." I reminded him.

"Don't worry mom, I won't, believe it!" He merely nodded at me and gave me a smile.

"That's my boy." I said with a smile and ruffled his hair.

He gave out a small groan and stuck out his tongue out at me and tried to fix his hair. I gave him a small laugh while we walked to the festival.
