...okay this is so stupid, I don't fucking own Naruto, do I have to repeat this every damn chapter bro, the answer is yes btw, that was a rhetorical question, because it seriously is so fucking redundant guys... we all know I don't damn we'll own Naruto or any other famous franchise I'm gonna sue for this series SMFH.
It had been four years since that night. Naruto put on a very bright outside personality and showed high intelligence to Minato and Kushina. His goal was to start his training quickly and preparing for the future.
One problem that arouse quickly however... he was actually starting to love both of them like parents. It was something he wanted sure, but he was terrified because he knew that then dying was a very distinct possibility at all times.
That led to anxiety, which lead to his bright personality he put up disappear slowly worrying his mom and dad. Many times a night while he slept they would check his seal, when he only guessed about when they started asking questions about his feelings.
They asked what made him mad, sad, a happy, things like that. Unfortunately nothing helped and he knew the only real way he would overcome the strain on his mind was to talk about so right now... he would do just that.
Kushina had been worried lately because her beautiful and oh so bright baby boy, was starting to withdraw into himself. She thought it was the seal not being strong enough to hold the Kyuubi but that was quickly dispelled when they check on it.
They tried a Yamanaka therapist, of course it was Inoichi, minus the mind walking because of her amazing son's tenant. He would just close off, change subjects, quite skillfully only reaffirming her and Minato's suspicion his mind was developing very quickly maybe calling into a possibility he was a genius.
She wasn't talking about an Uchiha or Hyuuga genius type, but a true and utter rare human being with potential she knew was greater than anybody to have ever lived, and that was her precious and wonderful Sochi.
Speaking of which, her bundle of joy that seemed to be hurting emotionally lately, which utterly shredded her on the inside, came into the living room from his room, looking anxious...scared almost.
Her mom instincts were ringing louder than ever before, scaring her unlike anything she'd ever felt. She punched chakra with blistering force into her husband's seal and he appeared immediately with kunai drawn.
Seeing no threat and his living room being his surroundings he looked to his wife he was staring at their amazing son. He was fidgeting, eyes flirting from place to place, his heart beat was beating fast, like he was terrified of something.
"Oka-san, Oto-san, I just, wanted to talk about why I've been so uhm, sad lately. If... if that's okay?"
He looked up with eyes that seemed fearful, of them? No, fearful of their reaction which worried them both immensely because they'd never done anything that would cause him to fear them.
"Absolutely my little fish cake. Ka-san and Tō-san would love to hear about it and beat up whoever made you sad!"
Kushina raised a fist threading the air with her glare and shaking of her arm. Minato gave a small smile before placing his hand on Naruto's head which seemed to calm him down greatly with their comforting words and gesture.
They sat down on the couch, but Kushina put that to a quick stop.
"Nuh uh, I haven't gotten cuddles from you in a long time mister, I'm using my mom powers to make you cuddle with me!"
She snatched him up in a hug and sat him in her lap, smooshing her cheek into his and making cooing sounds about her little sunshine and fishcake.
Once she had her fill of her Naruto, she settled with sniffing his hair, and holding him tighter worried sick she might not be able to help with whatever it was.
Thankfully her amazing husband switched sides now with Naruto in between them as the had a warm family embrace melting the boys fears right from his mind. His nose soured, and his eyes prickled and thankfully he wouldn't be seen from this position.
"...whats been troubling you so much my son?"
Minato's voice was heard this time while they were still holding each other.
"I-... I'm scarred... and worried."
Their hugs held him close, filling his hurt soul even more, giving rise to a release of tension he didn't even know he had.
"About what my little fishcake?"
Kushina started rubbing his back, while Minato was holding the both of them, resting the side of his head on Kushina's.
"I'm- I'm scared about you dying. I know you are Shinobi and it's your job especially dads since dad is Hokage, but it makes me scared that I won't ever see you again one day out of nowhere leaving me all alone... and it makes me feel bad inside, and my chest hurts when I think about it, and my brain starts to feel woozy."
At this point Kushina was close to sobbing. How could she worry her little Sochi with such a horrific thing?! What was she supposed to tell her four year old son, they would gladly die which might scare him even more?!
Minato's eyes hardened immediately, before he turned to look at his, astonishingly and amazingly, smart boy.
"Naruto."
His voice was commanding, the voice of a born leader, someone who has taken lives and saved in equal amounts, drew his boys blue cerulean blue eyes to his own identical colored ones.
The only difference, his sons were red and puffy, showing he was crying silently, probably trying not to worry them, which only served to make Minato's heart spasm in pain.
"I promise you, that I will always come back to you and your mother. I know Kushina will say the same thing; we will never leave you alone by yourself. We will only die of ripe old age when we forget to brush our teeth and smell like peas, okay?"
His son gave him a small snort much like the one his mother does, and just gave too, which meant that his son was listening even though he seemed to closed off.
"... I thought the same too but, the Hokage's duty is to the village, which means that you won't if that's the only way to save the village... and mom besides me is the last Uzumaki. Once you die Otō-san, they'll come after her, and then-"
He couldn't say anything more because a bawling Kushina had wrapped her arms completely around his upper torso, with her hand upon the back of his head, cradling his body into her own.
"You listen here Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki! Even if it was the shinigami himself, I would come back to you. Your father may love this village, but unlike the other Hokage, in the four years he's gotten to know and love our absolutely extraordinary son, I know for a fact even if he had to die for the village he wouldn't! He is the strongest Shinobi ever, and the village can protect itself! You hear me?! Don't ever think we would put anything before you okay? Ever!"
That night, they all slept in the same bed together as a family, for the first time in two years, squashing the fear the young Shinobi held like a guillotine over his head.
In its place a fire, no- a raging, scalding inferno, was lit. This was the true starting point for such a young boy, who would do anything this time to keep his family and protect them. He wouldn't fail this time.
Two years had gone by from that day, and Naruto had started training, very lightly as stipulated by Kushina two weeks after, until he started the academy which he would soon.
Changes in the timeline had already happened, Orochimaru hadn't turned traitor...yet, the academy minimum age was set to ten instead of eleven, the Uchiha were brought back into the inner part of the village, Shisui Uchiha was still alive, and the rumors of the Uchiha being part of the Kyuubi attack were wiped clean with a declaration from their Hokage commending them for sending such brave men and women who fought hard against such an impossible foe.
In addition to all of that, the most attention grabbing one, was Fugaku Uchiha, being named head advisor of the Shinobi council, and dismal of the civilian counsel. Instead, a subsidiary Shinobi counsel was developed to receive reports from the civilian clan heads of income, changes and the things alike.
Uproar from the civilian council was ignored which none of the actually civilians complained about, intact almost all were in favor as the only reason their village was still standing, prospering unparalleled, was because of the Shinobi.
The Hyuuga incident however, went far different and caused the most change... and destruction.
Naruto was out walking around since his mom gave the go ahead. It was his desire to learn the lay out of the village down to the last flower pit that he was out walking. The six years of being here had not only been unable to dull his awe of being in the world Naruto, but brought it forth into a simmering boil.
Speaking of, he finally started his study of fuuinjutsu, well reading about it specifically because he wouldn't be allowed to start reading it until he turned six, which was only a few months away.
His chakra exercises were going above and beyond, as he could now, not only hold fifteen leaves on any part of his body, and could do complex movements, quick thinking/response tests, while still holding them to him.
He had done experiments of his own because while his parents knew he was great they didn't know that at this point, he could even make chakra strings, very strong ones at that... or so he thought. He had practiced with training kunai, shuriken, senbon, tanto's, even ninja wire until he bled.
Sure it might not have been the best thing for such a young body, but chakra could do impossible things, especially when combined with a healing factor, and Yang chakra so potent it quite literally built his body to adapt.
Even now he was working on his hands dexterity by making perfect hand signs as fast as he could while throwing a training Kunai up in the air catching it itch chakra strings. His little body seemed to have energy for days as sure he felt sleepy tired, but almost never physically worn out tired.
If any Shinobi had seen him walking down the street doing such things he would have been claimed a prodigy unlink any other. Of course that was minus the ANBU who reported all their findings of him to his father who in turn talked with Kushina, he couldn't detect.
This night however, his ANBU squad was not present as the Kumo delegators were present in the village, including their Shinobi guard, which gave Kushina the leisure of not having to worry about his safety since their were patrols in droves.
Walking down the road committing the shops, apartments, houses, restaurants, alleyways, any detail he could fit in, to memory, he was turned right realizing he was on the back side of the Hyuuga compound.
'Finally, it's taken me weeks to memorize so much.'
*rustlerustle*
Naruto's body went into alert mode. He automatically sent his body into stealth mode silencing his breathing, canceling his chakra strings, pressed up into the shadow of the wall just in time to see a man hoping over with a nap sack making whimpering noises.
"Shut up, or I'll see just how fine the inside of such a little thing would feel. They never said I couldn't have fun with you, just that you had to be brought back alive~"
It took every ounce of willpower Naruto had not to jump at the man then and there. He was thinking quickly because the man was still talking to who was more than likely Hinata.
He sent chakra strings silently from his finger tips, several feet away, snapping a twig. Faster than he could even remotely react, a kunai sunk deep into the bush he made the branch snap in. He made his strings spasm for a second before stopping making it seem like what ever was there was dead.
The man who he could see in the faint star light was invaded in Kumo Shinobi where, including a headband, set Hinata down, and walked over with two more kunai drawn.
As he approached, Naruto grabbed multiple Kunai with strings, and flung the silently towards the Kumo nin, who turned around and blocked them.
Now that the his back was directly in front of Naruto, he picks himself up with his chakra strings, and as quickly and hard as he could, rammed his kunai into the shinobi's neck right into his jugular vein.
He felt a blow to his mid section instantly, hearing multiple and brutal very auditable cracks before his back and head connected to the wall behind him.
His vision swam with pain, blinding his senses to the outside world monetarily. Once he regained his sight and ability to breath, he saw there ninja crouching while holding his neck.
He had a vicious glint in his eyes, staring down at the small boys collapsed form, hearing his jagged breathing.
"You little son of a bitch!"
He hissed, before grabbing the kunai on the ground walking over to Naruto, crouched on his haunches, placed a hand on his mouth, and drove it into his right leg.
"MFFNNGHHHH!!!"
A quiet scream that wouldn't be heard by anyone, even a Shinobi, exploded from his lungs. His diaphragm contorted jostling his many broken ribs, making everything hurt worse.
*Squelch* *Squelch* *Squelch* *Squelch* *Squelch*
Over and over, the Kunai was driven into his body in random places, blood poured from each wound, pooling rapidly around them. Naruto's thoughts were shutting down, but he knew that if he didn't do anything, he would more than likely die but worse, Hinata might have to become something akin to a breeding stock.
He pushed chakra through his finger tips, and made them plunge into the man's eye ball, digging in, shredding the spongy like material getting a scream from the Shinobi.
"ARGHH, YOU LITTLE FUCKING SHIT!"
*PMPHH*
He kicked Naruto in the side sending his body to go tumbling away, rolling end over end almost making him loose consciousness. He landed face up and he stared the Shinobi down right in the eyes.
"I'll kill you, you little fucking bitch."
Before Naruto's eyes closed for the last time, he saw something that eased his drifting mind greatly.
"You're in my field of divination."
*THUDTHUDTHUD*
Okay you know the drill, lay it on me. What could be changed, something that doesn't make sense, an OOC type deal, anything at all cuties.
