Update: Proofread.

Happy Birthday to me :D
Well, at least as far as fanfiction is concerned, it is actually April 27 right now where I am, but hey, it is still April 26 somewhere.
As a special present to all of you, I made a new chapter for all my stories… or at least that is what I was aiming for. I couldn't finish one for To Be the Best or Naruto Guardian of the Mist, but have no fear as I haven't forgotten about them.
Also, I have yet to proofread these chapters, so there may be a few typos, but I will look over them now and upload the fully proofread chapter.
In the meantime though, enjoy :D

NSUU specific note.

So this chapter isn't very rich in terms of plot/story development, but it does set the scene for what is going to happen next as well as giving Naruto some much needed mental stability, as well as setting some other things up.
Also, since I know many will care about this (although honestly, I wonder how many people would continue to read this story if their favourite wasn't paired with Naruto) the harem is not concrete and I have many ideas. This harem will probably be rather large, but it will be so because of the design of it, that being said, Pakura is obviously in and after this chapter, the second person I have in mind should be very obvious. The harem will have a central theme of people who were wronged/slighted in life and it will include some filler characters (another big hint).
Also, some of the stuff brought up in here, namely stuff related to the Senju, is not exactly canon, but to be fair, very little is given on them so I am taking some creative liberty.
Enjoy.

Chapter 2 – Kushina

After the reveal of the Leaf's treachery Kushina trained Naruto much harder than before, on occasion, accidently running him through with her chakra chains, but Naruto recovered quite quickly from each incident thanks to the fox. A couple months had passed before Kushina finally came to terms with what had happened to her clan and Naruto wasn't pierced by chakra chains on a daily basis anymore.

'I'm really sorry about that by the way.' Said Kushina, as she scratched the back of her head with a silly grin.

'It is alright, with you actually trying to harm me, I have now become much better at dodging. Honestly I think you were going easy on me at the start.' Replied Naruto happily.

'You didn't happen to turn into a masochist, did you?' Asked Kushina warily.

'Maso-what?' Asked Naruto in confusion.

'Nothing, never mind.' Said Kushina quickly.

"I forgot that despite how smart he is, he is only five." Thought Kushina in embarrassment, realising that if she hadn't been more tactful, she might have had to have the talk… with her five year old son, boy that would have been awkward.

'Well, do you want to start sparring practice? I mean, being able to dodge almost everything won't help if I can't actually attack myself and end up getting hit with counter attacks.' Suggested Naruto.

'I suppose, but why don't we take a break for the rest of the day and talk and start fresh tomorrow?' Suggested Kushina.

'Sure I don't mind, maybe you can tell me some more stories about your life or about the Uzumaki clan.' Said Naruto, as he sat down cross-legged in front of Kushina.

'Well, I've told you just about everything about my life except for what it was like in Whirlpool, so I suppose I can tell you a bit about the Uzumaki.' Said Kushina, before mirroring Naruto and taking a similar seating position.

'Well, the Uzumaki clan in the past held close ties with the Senju.' Began Kushina, getting a frown from Naruto.

'We in fact were distant blood relatives and as a result, quite similar to each other. You see, both clans possess an incredible life source, unlike the Uzumaki though, the Senju were different in the fact that their life force enabled them a strong control over an aspect of nature, Hashirama and Tobirama each had a unique nature ability in which Hashirama could control wood and life while Tobirama had an unparalleled control of water, which no Mizukage has been able to match. Tsunade the granddaughter of Hashirama wields great power over the cells of the human body, capable of committing many feats, which none could surpass except for Hashirama.
The Uzumaki on the other hand didn't have a specialised life force ability and thus instead of control over a specific ability, we were granted a fierce longevity, with the ability to live up to around one hundred and twenty years. Sadly, very few every reached this age, aside from a few past clan heads. Despite that though, our life-force granted us immense power, which is why only an Uzumaki can contain the Nine-Tailed fox inside them, without being torn apart from the inside and we are the only people who have the potential to survive a tailed beast extraction, as I showed.' Said Kushina, with a bit of pride at the end.

'So, we are similar in a sense due to our life force.' Said Naruto slowly.

'Yes, essentially, however, we also excel in sealing techniques which no one can match, your father...' Said Kushina, mentally noting the thinning of Naruto's lips at the mention of the person who sealed the fox into him.

'Was said to be a legendary seal master, but the truth was, he was only as skilled as a middle aged Uzumaki. The clan heads of the Uzumaki clan had seals which would make him look like a petulant child playing around with seals for fun. In fact, I helped him learn almost everything he knew about sealing, aside from the basics he learnt from Jiraiya and the seal he used on the Kyuubi, which he developed on his own for the most part, only asking me to check over certain sections of it.' Finished Kushina.

'What about those chains you talked about?' Asked Naruto curiously.

'Well I wasn't the only one who could use chains, there have been some users of them in the past, but it was generally a female exclusive ability, although I think there may have been one or two male users, but I can't be sure. In any case, I was the only one of my generation to be able to use them… but that might have been because the Uzumaki clan was destroyed. It is very likely that there is at least one surviving Uzumaki out there capable of using chains, similar to me. Maybe you'll find her one day and restart the Uzumaki clan.' Said Kushina with a laugh.

'Why is that funny, wouldn't it be a good thing to restart the Uzumaki clan?' Asked Naruto in confusion.

'Uh.' Said Kushina, once again cursing for forgetting her son was only five.

'Well, I suppose if you could gather up the remaining Uzumaki, you will have a better chance of restarting the clan, that being said, make sure they know about our abilities, an Uzumaki's heritage is something to be cherished.' Said Kushina, skilfully avoiding the previous train of thought the conversation was heading towards.

'No worries. As soon as I am strong enough, I will set out and search for them, I'll make sure to rebuild the Uzumaki clan.' Said Naruto firmly.

Kushina smiled at this, ever since she found out she was the only known survivor of the Uzumaki clan, she wanted to track down any who managed to flee, she wouldn't accept that she was the last Uzumaki and hearing that Naruto would one day fulfil one of her strongest desires brought joy to her troubled heart.

'So Naruto, what exactly are your dreams?' Asked Kushina, realising she knew very little about her son.

'Well I want to rebuild the Uzumaki clan… that's about it I suppose.' Said Naruto flatly.

'Nothing else? Don't you want to become powerful, maybe have a family of your own, visit distant lands?' Asked Kushina prodding for more information.

'…Not really, all I really wanted was to get away from the glares of the villagers.' Said Naruto quietly, causing Kushina to fume slightly.

"To think me and Minato gave our lives to protect a bunch of bigots, who can't tell the difference between a child and a demon fox." Thought Kushina in anger.

'Well you did get away now so isn't there anything else you want to do? There really isn't a wrong answer.' Said Kushina kindly.

'Well, there is one thing, but you won't agree with me.' Mumbled Naruto.

'How will you know if you never say it?' Asked Kushina.

'I-I want the villagers of the Leaf to pay for what they did to me.' Said Naruto hesitantly.

Kushina absorbed this for a moment while Naruto looked down, thinking his mum was going to hate him now. A warm feeling wrapped around Naruto, making him feel safe and loved, he looked to his side and saw Kushina's smiling visage.

'Why do you look so upset? I'm you mother, aren't I? I could never hate you; you know?' Said Kushina kindly, as she hugged her son.

'B-but you died to try and protect the village.' Said Naruto in surprise.

'No I didn't. I died to protect you, to ensure you lived, it just happened to turn out that making sure you survived made sure the Leaf Village survived as well.' Said Kushina sternly.

Naruto stayed silent enjoying the embrace, before shifting slightly getting Kushina's attention.

'I think I have another goal.' Said Naruto quietly.

Kushina didn't say anything and waited for Naruto to go on.

'I think that I want to go and help all the people like me with Bijuu sealed inside them. I want them to know that someone cares for them and to have them care for me. I want us to be a big, happy family that can't be touched by ignorant people, people who will look after each other and always help each other when they need it.' Said Naruto passionately.

'That is a beautiful goal and I know you will succeed, believe it.' Said Kushina with a smile.

'I will, I will make it come true, you know.' Said Naruto with his own foxy grin.

The next day

-line break-

Naruto stood in front of Kushina with a focused look on his face, his scythe was gripped tightly in both hands, legs and body lowered into the stance he had been practicing for ages now.

'Alright are you ready?' Asked Kushina.

Naruto didn't speak, but nodded slightly, showing he was ready.

'Alright, first off, I will only be using one chain to attack and defend, however, keep in mind that there are dual wielders out there so don't think this will be as hard as things get. What I want you to start with is wide-arced scythe swings, a scythe is normally used in a side-to-side motion or a top-to-bottom motion as scythes are not suited to clash against gravity. A scythe will always be used to swing downwards or sidewards, never upwards.' Said Kushina getting another nod from Naruto.

'Ok, let's start with side-to-side swings as they are easier to master; one thing you must always remember though, is to never swing too widely. If you swing too far you will end up weakening your guard making it easy for people to take you out, as you will be off balance. By the end of all this you will have forearms of steel to make sure when you swing your scythe it goes exactly as far as you want it to, not a single hair more or less.' Said Kushina, causing Naruto's grip on the scythe to tighten.

'Now, attack!' Shouted Kushina, to which Naruto kicked off the ground.

Naruto held his right hand on top of his left, this ensured his strikes were as accurate as possible and also meant that if he needed to free up a hand for whatever reason, his dominant right hand would have a firmer grip on the scythe to ensure he didn't accidentally drop it, or become too weak in his strikes.

He slashed from right to left colliding with the chain, before jumping back as it surged towards him. Naruto charged once again, while Kushina looked on impassively. He swung from right to left again, but this time, when the chain shot at him, he ducked under it and tried a left to right slash aimed at Kushina. Kushina waited until the blade neared her, before ducking into Naruto's guard and grasped the pole before kicking Naruto in the stomach, making him flinch as all the air left his lungs, but never let go of his scythe. Kushina then followed up her kick with a palm thrust, causing Naruto's grip to slacken on the pole, after which she yanked it out of his arms, giving him slight friction burn.

'Not bad, your grip has improved a lot if a kick to the gut didn't even shake your grip, but it needs to be stronger.' Said Kushina, as she held the scythe back out to Naruto.

Naruto's hands healed becoming slightly more calloused in the process, it seemed the fox realised that simply regenerating the cells on Naruto's hands would do nothing to stop repeated friction burn, so it decided upon toughening up Naruto's hands.

'Thanks.' Said Naruto, as he accepted the compliment and took his scythe back.

'Another thing that would be important for you to learn is how to take a hit, as well as speed. As you saw, if someone is quicker than you, they can get inside your guard and nullify your scythe, meaning you will be at their mercy and if you can't take a hit, you might just be finished.' Said Kushina.

'So what should I do then?' Asked Naruto curiously.

'From now on, every day, we will have a pure Taijutsu spar after sealing lessons to make sure you become fast and strong. If you rely only on your scythe in combat, losing it may just be your end and I'm not letting some weak ninja kill my only son with a lucky shot.' Said Kushina.

"Although I doubt Kyuubi will let him die easily anyway, it really is a curse to have a Bijuu sealed inside you, but one can't deny the benefits that come with them." Thought Kushina, remembering Naruto's newly calloused hands.

'Got it, I will be the fastest and the sturdiest so no one will be able to take me out.' Said Naruto.

'Alright, let's do this again.' Said Kushina as Naruto got back into position.

Six months after Naruto met Death

-line break-

Naruto was nudged slightly from his sleeping position on the floor. He groggily opened his eyes and blearily looked at the offending appendage that had roused him from his sleep. It was Kushina's hand, so he questioningly brought his gaze up to meet hers.

'Happy birthday Naruto.' Said Kushina, with a tender smile.

It took Naruto a moment to process these words before he sat up. He scratched the back of his head a bit and rubbed his eyes before blinking a few times. He then quickly tackled Kushina with a hug and wrapped his arms around her stomach.

'This is the best birthday ever.' Said Naruto with a sniffle.

'What's wrong, you can't be sad on your birthday?' Chided Kushina softly.

'I know, but usually on my birthday people would actually insult me and sometimes even throw stuff at me, instead of ignoring me like they usually do.' Said Naruto sadly.

Kushina hugged Naruto closer.

'It's alright. You have me with you now and the villagers won't be able to touch you ever again.' Said Kushina, even though the words felt hollow in her mouth.

Death had said he would only bring her back temporarily, which probably meant that at the end of the year Death had allocated for Naruto to train, he would in fact have to lose her. The thought caused a bittersweet feeling to swell up in Kushina's chest. On the one hand she got to see, train, talk to and help guide her son and he also got to have a mother for the first time in his life. On the other hand, however, she was going to have to leave soon, which meant Naruto, after having a mother for only a year, would have to lose her.

"Fate sure can be cruel sometimes." Thought Kushina, as she continued hugging the child, whose arms had a death grip on her sides.

'Naruto, while I don't have a present for you now, there is something I want you to have.' Said Kushina, as Naruto pulled back somewhat but didn't let go.

'On the outskirts of the village, on the northern side behind the Hokage monument, there is a building. The building will be destroyed, but there will be a tree behind it, with a spiral carved into it. When you find it, swipe some blood on the spiral and you will receive the gift, from me to you for all the birthdays I've missed and all the ones to go.' Said the red head, before spending the rest of the day playing and laughing with her only son, as he finally experienced what a birthday should be like.

One year after Naruto met Death

'Now Naruto, I want you to remember these words carefully, it will be the most important advice I have for you.' Said Kushina seriously, with her hands on his shoulders, crouched down so she could look him directly in the eyes.

Naruto focused his eyes on Kushina's intensely, making sure he heard all she had to say.

'From today, you are a proud ninja of Uzu, never forget who you are and always carry yourself with pride. Some say pride is a sin, but as one of the last Uzumaki your pride is what is needed to bring the Uzumaki back to glory. Lastly, when you take a life, do not dwell on it. Many have killed some and some have killed many, but at the end of the day, cherish that you and your loved ones are still alive. If anyone should try to hurt that which is close to you show them no mercy and feel no regret. One can kill thousands and as a ninja you will have to kill, but do not do so needlessly. Life is precious and must be respected however, even more important than life is love. Do not love easily or carelessly, love is precious, the bond between two people can take down, what one who is on their own would fall to. Never forget though, that I will always be proud of you and that I will always love you.' Said Kushina softly, as tears trickled down her face.

Naruto too was in tears and embraced his mother in a soft hug, one filled with love and emotion, knowing that this was mostly likely the last time he would see her.

Death was hovering off to the side silently and let them have their moment, while to him it made no sense, as when the boy died he would be reunited with his mother; he let them do as they wished. Mortals truly confused Death, but to be fair, he never really cared much for them anyway. Why should Death care for the actions of those who would all come to him in time?

Kushina pulled back before standing up. Naruto took one last look at Kushina, before walking over to Death and nodding. Death's hand glowed, before it seemingly pierced the air. When the hand was pulled back, a small purple vortex was revealed, which steadily grew until it was two metres in diameter. Naruto nodded before walking into the portal and upon doing, so was whisked away to a random location.

'It is time.' Said Death.

'I know.' Said Kushina with a sigh, as she started to fade away into nothingness.

Her feet disappeared first and slowly the rest of her body stared to vanish, when only her head was left, she had one last thought before she closed her eyes and vanished.

"Good luck Naruto."

Also I received possibly the worst flame ever last chapter. Not that I had made a huge mistake or that I was affected deeply by it, but rather, because it made no sense. The review is from Doom Marine 54 and it is still there but to save you time "Overpowered gary-stu Naruto, cliched plotlines, immature character bashing this story sucks di[*]ck."
Instead of "rustling my jimmies" this made me laugh, for one thing how is Naruto, a weak five year old with the only thing going for him being an analytical mind OP? As for a clichéd plotline… how can someone guess the plotline of a story after one chapter? Trust me, I have some serious twists and turns in mind. Lastly, as for character bashing… who have I bashed? Everything as far as the villagers actions go is completely canon (with a little inspiration from some of the filler eps).

In any case, the reason this made me laugh instead of getting upset, is because of all of you who favourite, follow and review my stories. For that, thank you and I hope to continue providing you all with good stories.
