Naruto stared forward, a somewhat glassy look in his eyes.

"Not nice to be on the other end of it, is it brat?" Yangkura hissed.

"I-" Naruto sighed, shaking his head. "I don't have even the slightest clue on where to begin with that one."

The Kyuubi smirked.

"Wait, does that mean you're my uncle?"

The Kyuubi stopped smirking. "I- What?"

"'Cause, if you're the Sage's child... and Asura is the Sage's child, then that means you're basically his brother, and since he's my ancestor, that means you would be my... great, great, great... great- however many times great uncle, right?"

"That is the dumbest thing I have ever-" Yangkura paused, considering the flow of logic.

Against his will, it made sense.

Yangkura's eyes widened as he realized what was about to happen. His mouth opened, but he wasn't quick enough.

"I have family!" Naruto cheered.

"No!"

"You're my family!"

"Stop!"

"I'm going to call you uncle!"

"Cease!"

"Holy shit, that means that Sasuke is your nephew!"

Yangkura let out a loud roar, filled with the anguish that came with the fact that he only now realized that he had just unleashed upon himself.

Alas, it was far too late to stop.

"And he's my cousin!" Naruto straightened up, bouncing in place. "He was basically my brother anyway, but now he's literally my cousin!"

"So far removed that it is literally NOT WORTH MENTIONING!"

Yinkura watched the sight, completely still, as if worried that movement might draw Naruto's attention to him.

"I have nine uncles!" Naruto said, a rapturously happy expression on his face. "Well, eight and an aunt- Is the Nanabi a girl? I couldn't tell-"

"Chomei does not have a gender! And that is not how this works! THAT IS NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS!"

"Oh, come on uncle, this is-"

Naruto stopped. Yangkura did too, watching him carefully.

"You're family and you've never given me a hug!" He accused.

"WE ARE NOT FAMILY!"

"My entire life, man! How can you call yourself an uncle?!"

"I DON'T!"

"You're my uncle!"

"YOU ARE FORBIDDEN FROM CALLING ME THAT!"

"GIVE ME A HUG!"

"YOU WANT A HUG?!" Yangkura raised a hand into the air. "HERE'S YOUR DAMNED HUG!"

And then he slammed his hand onto Naruto, crushing him into the non-existent ground with a thunderous boom.

After a few seconds, Naruto's voice, muffled by the Kyuubi's hand, sounded again. "You're so stingy. That's no way to treat your family."

Yangkura pulled his hand away, and Naruto, wrapped around a finger, came with it. "What are you doing?"

"I'm hugging you, what does it look like? Showing love and affection, as family should."

"Let go of me."

"Oh come on, man, it isn't going to kill you to smile once in a while. When's the last time someone showed you some love and affection?"

"THAT-" There was a brief pause, before Yangkura continued hastily. "- is not relevant at all! Let go of me."

Naruto frowned. "Wait, how long has it been-"

"WE ARE NOT HAVING THIS CONVERSATION!" Yangkura roared. "We were having another, completely different conversation and we should go back to that one!"

Naruto stared at him, before sighing and sitting up straighter. "Yeah. Yeah we should. Sorry, I was just... excited."

Yangkura stared at him for a moment, before settling down himself. "You should be."

Naruto paused. "Excited or sorry?"

"I believe-" Yinkura interjected, clinically careful. "- that we were on the subject of our creation."

"Yes." Yangkura said, perhaps a bit too eagerly..

Naruto noticed, but did not say, that Yangkura had not answered his question.

"We were born on that moment." Yangkura said, after a moment. "Unsealing all of us all at once hurt Father, and kept him out of commission for a few months, but he lived through it. He later unsealed the husk of the Juubi when he recovered, and then sent it off in its prison."

"Do you recall the legend that states the Sage of Six Paths created the moon?" Yinkura interjected.

"Yes..?" Naruto said, slowly, confused at the seeming non-sequitur.

"It's true." Yinkura continued, ignoring Naruto's widening eyes. "Through the power of his Rinnegan, he formed the moon around the Juubi's corpse, locking it away forever- Or, rather, what should have been forever, but then Madara came along."

"Moon- Sage- That's true?!"

"Yes." Yangkura seemed darkly amused. "Hagoromo created the moon."

Naruto slumped, just... processing that.

"That's... That's pretty big. Obviously, moon, but, that's just-" He cut himself off. "Okay. Alright. What did he do next?"

"Not much, honestly." Yinkura said. "There was the business with Indra and Asura, but... for the rest of his life, he was a teacher, a guide, and a father. He had passed on his power and dream to his son, and his ideals to his students. Eventually, he passed away; surrounded by family, loved and mourned in equal measure."

Naruto nodded. A good death. "What about Hamura?"

"Hamura had a few children. One would go on to found the Hyuuga clan." Naruto raised an eyebrow, but did not interrupt. "The others, including Hamura himself, went to the moon in order to guard the Juubi's seal. I... do not know what happened to them afterwards." Yangkura admitted.

"People live on the moon?" Naruto asked.

"I'm not sure if they still do, but yes." Yangkura answered.

"Wouldn't they have said something about the whole 'disappearing Juubi' thing, if they were?" Naruto frowned. "Not... to rain on the parade, but if they went up there to guard the Juubi, then that seems like something they'd do."

"I don't know. I haven't seen them since Hamura left for the moon. They could just as easily be dead as they could be alive."

"I'll mark them down for a tentative 'no', then." Naruto sighed. "Alive, and not doing anything while being off the planet may as well be dead, for all it affects people down here."

He rubbed at his temples, thinking over everything in his head.

"Alright. I'm just going to theorize here for a bit. But before I do, I just got a few more questions."
