Birthday Presents:
It started when he was five. Not to long after Naruto had met the weird adult cry baby his birthday came up. He didn't know why then but there was a festival that happened every year on his birthday to mourn lives lost and celebrate lives spared.
Mom always kept him inside.
And he didn't mind because mom and him would make sweets all day and then when dad came he would bring tons of gifts and flowers.
On his fifth birthday though as he ran back to his room to get the book he wanted mom to read he froze. His room was filled to the brim with toys, flowers, candy anything a child could ask; the sender?
'Your future husband.'
But he didn't understand instead he smiled and had the best birthday ever.
His sixth birthday was spent on the road. Jiraiya had gone too far to make it back to Konoha this time. But as he sulked in the hotel while Jiraiya partied in the lobby a messenger hawk flew in. He ran the message to Jiraiya because he had already gotten a note from his parents and he didn't know how to open storage scrolls yet.
Jiraiya was not to pleased to be buried under the sheer amount of teddy bears, tools, games and of course candy that flooded the room. But all Naruto could do was laugh ignoring the card that said,
'Your future husband'
His seventh birthday he was put on his first mission and a real one at that! To follow an informant of Jiraiya's that had been acting strangely suspicious. That was when a messenger hawk arrived. He looked at it skeptically because there was no sign on the outside who it was from but it could have been from jiraiya; so he opened it.
His position was given away when the balloons started popping and the music box flew open. The mission was aborted and Jiraiya was furious, as was Naruto. The only good thing was…
He had totally forgotten it was his birthday; the sender?
'Your future husband'
As the years past Kakashi had become no less obnoxious and all the stuff that Naruto had no room for and donated was becoming more of an annoyance than appreciated.
"And how about this, the one who shows the best improvement will receive a special reward from me; that i'm sure you'll enjoy"
That's why Naruto didn't need it.
