Naruto Fan Fiction ❯ A Tail of Two Bijus ❯ The Past Revealed ( Chapter 4 )

A/N: Well, it's several hours after I finished wrinting the 3rd chapter and frankly I'm bored stupid. I've done all of my homework, and my friend isn't coming over for another few hours, so that should give me the time necessary to do this chapter. I don't know why, but when I eat toffee while writing it helps me think... Wierd, huh?

 

As always, I hope that my creativity gives you some semblance of pleasure to read.

 

(A): Team 7 to the Snow: 0

 

(B): Team 7 to the Wave: 0

 

The vote for their first big mission STILL stands at nill all. Come on people! Votes, I say, VOTES!

 

Also, as a more... long term vote, I'm debating whether or not to give Naruto a Gekke Genkai (Bloodline Limit) sometime in the future. I've already decided that Yuikiko will have a Bloodline Limit that will help her with her medical skills. It's going to be roughly simmilar to the Byakugan, but I'll save the specifics till later. Any names for either Yukiko's Bloodline Limit or names and ideas for Naruto's Bloodline Limit would be greatly appreciated. Now the vote:

 

(A): Naruto does have a Bloodline Limit, which is basically the Kyubi's abilities, and as I intend to have these abilities passed down through the generations of the Uzumakis, so it is therefore considered a Bloodline Limit.

 

(B): Naruto gains a Bloodline Limit that involves gaining complete mastery of swords and sword that is only a handle when the Bloodline Limit is off, but when it's on the sword's blade emerges and is made of the Kyubi's chakra. A lightsaber if you will.

 

(C): You guys give me an idea as to what you would like for the Bloodline Limit if the two above don't suit you. (If you provide an original idea, please also provide a name for it, unless you're completely stumped, but I'll still give you the credit for it if I chose it)

 

(D): Naruto doesn't inherit a Bloodline Limit.

 

Now get to the part that you've all been waiting for!

At the Hokage's Office:

 

It was a plesant morning. Mizuki had been interrogated and sent to the shinobi correctional facility indefinately. Naruto had gotten off with a light scolding and now Yukiko was in the Hokage's office awaiting his final verdict on whether or not she can become a shinobi of the leaf. The Hokage scribbled something down on the small pile of papers infront of him before looking up at the young girl.

 

“I won't lie to you, Yukiko. We need medical ninjas. Badly. One of my three pupils who is no w known as one of the worlds best medics published a paper and presented it to me on how the chances of survival of a team shot up by over 100 percent by just adding a medical ninja to the team, sadly I had to turn her down. I would have jumped at the offer, but at that point in time, we were in the middle of a hidden shinobi war. I saw the merit in the idea, but we just could not afford such expenditure. As I'm sure you know, medic nins need not only a decent set of normal shinobi skills, but a vast array of medical knowledge, superior chakra control and the will to help people. Someone with those qualities is exceptionally rare to come by. As much as the Snow asks me to return you to them, coming to this village seeking not only refuee status but showing that you have exceptional skill skill as a medic, I would like to offer you the chance to become a shinobi of the leaf.”

 

Yukiko smiled happily as she was tackled by one very excited blonde haired blue eyed ninja.

 

“YATTA! Congratulations, Yukiko-Chan! Now we can work together and kick everyone's asses! Ha ha!”

 

Yukiko hugged Naruto back and smiled at him. “Thank you, Naruto-Kun.”

 

The Hokage smiled happily at the fact that two very alone children had found a close friend in each other. He needed to get on to the next matter, even though it meant breaking them out of their little moment.

 

“Yukiko, I'm aware that you don't have any family or friends left alive do you?”

 

At this, Yukiko suddenly stopped smiling. “That is correct, Hokage-Sama.”

 

“So that means I'm going to have to give you a new home. I'd love for you to move in with Naruto into his current apartment, but-”

 

“What do you mean 'but' old man? That's the perfect idea!”

 

Yukiko giggled at Naruto's antics, before turning back to the Hokage.

 

“If I'm not staying with with Naruto, then where will I be staying?”

 

“ha ha ha ha, you seemed to have misheard me. I said 'I'd love for you to move in with naruto in his current apartment' but I fear that Naruto is too unsafe in his current unit block. I'm awear that Naruto has recived a new round of death threats from his neighbours after the incident with Mizuki and the scroll, so I have decided to break the requirement that the Yondaime gave to me. Naruto. Catch!”

Naruto swiftly caught the object thrown to him and opened his hand with Yukiko looking over his shoulder. In Naruto's palm was a very ornate key. It was gold plated, with a beautiful inlaid pattern of cerulean blue along the length of it. Attached to the key was a slip of paper covered in blue plastic. The slip of paper read 'Uzumaki Residence'. Naruto's eyes became wider and wider, before he looked up at the Hokage with a look of pure confusion and suprise.

 

“Old man?”

 

“Ha ha ha, Naruto will you ever stop calling me 'old man'?” With a sigh, the Hokage continued “I supose you're wondering what that key opens. Here take this.” He said as he slid a very elegant looking box across the table. The Box was made of a very polished oak, with the words 'Uzumaki' written in the most beautiful gold writing across the lid of the box he had ever seen. Naruto began to open it, but was stopped by the Hokage. “Naruto. Let me warn you now. That box is to be kept a secret from EVERYONE you know. Yukiko, myself and you are the only ones who are allowed to know about the existance of that box, do I make myself clear?”

 

Naruto looked more confused than ever before, but he nodded his head.

 

“What's so special about this box, old- I mean, Hokage-Sama?”

 

The Hokage raised an eye brow at this sudden sign of respect. He then thought about a way to tell Naruto about the box in a way that would not get him angry.

 

“That box is very special. I want you to take that box with you to this address.” As he slipped a piece of paper across the desk. “This will be your new home. Once you're there, you may open the box. Just remember one thing. That box is more precious than my life. I ask of you one request, and that is to protect that box and it's contents with your life. Understood?”

 

Naruto was now at a total and utter loss. What the hell could be in this box that was more precious that the old man's life? And why was he trusting it to Naruto of all people? Again he dumbly nodded his head.

 

Naruto then looked at the piece of paper and read the address. He dropped the piece of paper and just stared blankly at the Hokage.

 

“This is some kind of joke, isn't it?”

 

Yukiko gave Naruto a confused look before bending her knees and picking up the piece of paper. It read: '67, Teal Drive' Yukiko looked between the Hokage and Naruto.

 

“Teal Drive? Where's that?”

 

Naruto turned to Yukiko and looked at her with happiness slowly making its way onto his face.

 

“Yukiko-Chan, Teal Drive is the street where only the richest people in the village live. No one but the head clans and royalty live on Teal Drive! My old apartment could fit inside the smallest house 7 times over!”

 

Yukiko frowned. Something just didn't add up here. Naruto had practically lived a life of near poverty, and now he was suddenly moving in with the richest of the rich? A piece of the puzzle was missing. A big one at that. Yukiko turned to the Hokage questioningly, but realised she wasn't going to get an answer. Suddenly, something clicked. The key to the 'Uzumaki Residence' was to 67 Teal Drive. Could that mean that the Uzumakis were once....

 

The Hokage realised that comprehension had dawned on Yukiko. 'She's a sharp one.' Unwanting to be hit with a barage of questions, the Hokage decided to wrap things up.

 

“Well, I hope you enjoy your new home. Now if I'm not mistaken, you have several hours before the Genin test begins, does it not?”

 

Naruto had completely forgotten about the test! He was going to be late. So he grabbed Yukiko by the wrist and carried the box under his other arm before Yukiko could start her questioning, and shouted to the Hokage as he ran out the door.

 

“Thanks old man!”

 

The Hokage sighed. He knew it was too much to ask for for Naruto to keep calling him Hokage-Sama. With that he went back to his work and hoped Naruto didn't take what was coming for him too badly.

 

&&&&&&&&&&&&&a mp;&&&&&&&

 

At the Front Door to 67 Teal Drive:

 

Naruto and Yukiko gasped when they got to the address mentioned. This was one big house indeed! Naruto checked the piece of paper again, and then went to check the numbers on the letter box again.

 

'No doubt about it, this is it...'

 

Naruto jumped up and down before turning to Yukiko. “Wow, this is so awesome Yukiko-Chan! We finally get our own house, and a big one at that! Come on let's go inside and check it out!”

 

Yukiko blushed when Naruto took her hands in his and smiled at her. 'It's almost like I'm falling for him... Am I?' Suddenly a contented sigh echoed at the back of her mind.

 

'Ah young love... Nothing like it..'

 

Yukiko suddenly turned beet red and Naruto stopped smiling and looked at her in a very concerned fashion.

 

“Yukiko-Chan? Are you feeling alright? You're very red. Do you have a temperature or something?”

 

Naruto then placed a hand on her forehead and then a sudden snapping sound could be heard (you know, one of those anime snaps, like when Naruto did this to Hinata in the Anime when he was hanging from the ceiling of the hospital and Hinata was about | | that close to Naruto's face) Yukiko suddenly cried out and knocked Naruto on the head with her head and they both slumped to the ground.

 

&&&&&&&&&&&&&a mp;&&&&&&

 

Inside Naruto's mind:

 

Naruto suddenly heard a dark roaring laughter. He opened his eyes to find him standing infront of an all too familiar cage.

 

“I have to admit, kit. That was some seriously funny stuff. Best attempt to hide young love I've ever seen. You get nine tails out of nine for making me laugh so hard. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

 

“Shut up you damn fox! I was only showing concern for her because she looked sick!”

 

“Oh come now. Sick? Kit, to use one of your own expressions, you're a few noodles short of a ramen bowl. Can't you tell? It's so obvious even I can tell! She's in love with you!”

 

“In love with.. me?”

 

The king of the Kitsune gave an exasperated sigh

 

“Yes in love with you! You have to be one of the densest kits I know! I have to admit though, she's a rather exotic vixen too. Georgeous face, well developed chest, thin waist-”

 

“AHHHHHH! Stop turning me into a pervert! I'm not like you!”

 

The Kyubi gave up. There was no use telling him any more if he was refusing to accept how she felt for him.

 

“Believe what you want kit. I can't force you to realise that. Although if you do give her up, I will personally rip you to shreds, you understand me? I'm not giving up the chance to be with my mate once again.”

 

Naruto looked up at his tenant. Mate? Since when did Kyubi pick a human as his mate? The Kyubi realised what the kit was thinking about. This kit was was more perverted than he claimed to be.

 

“Honestly, do you really think my standards are that low? Mate with an UNDERAGE HUMAN? Kit, you're more perverted than you realise. No, I'm talking about her tenant, Nibi, the two tailed cat, Queen of the Damned.”

 

Naruto softened visably. The king of the Kitsunes decided he'd had enough of a prep talk with his 'landlord' so to speak, and decided to send him back to the real world.

 

“Remember, Kit. Don't play dumb around her. Accept her into your life and I garuntee you you'll be the luckiest man alive. Trust me on that one. Now, I think I've had enough chatting with you. That Genin test is this morning, is it not? You've only been out for about 30 seconds in the real world, so I suggest waking up and finding that vixen a bed. NO THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT! And you call me perverted? Seriously kit, get your mind out of the gutter. Go on, wake up. Later kit.”

 

And with that, Naruto returned from his deep subconcious meditation to find him slumped against the railings leading up to the front door of the house. Blinking his eyes he quickly jumped up and unlocked the door and picked Yukiko, and placed the box on her stomach bfore running inside and nudging the door closed with his foot. He ran though the front hallway and looked at the stairwell infront of him. That looked like a good bet, so he ran up and then made a 180 degree turn and went up another set of stairs. Once he reached to top, he saw that this was obviously the room with the bedrooms in it. Without thinking, he ran to the nearest door and opened it to be shocked at what he saw. This was a very elaborate bedroom. It alone was about the size of his old apartment minus the bathroom, but then he saw an ensuite and scratched that. This room WAS bigger than his appartment. Without wasting any more time, he went to the four poster bed that was obviously meant for two people. The head and foot of the bed were a dark mahogany and had a beautiful cerulean blue cover with an emerald green konoha symbol on it. Naruto then laid Yukiko down on the bed and looked at her sleeping peacefully.

 

'Was Kyubi right? Is she really in love with me? Am I in love with her? Gah! I'll never get ready for the exam if I just stand here staring at her though...'

 

Suddenly, an all too familiar grumble emitted from Naruto's stomach. Naruto gave an embarrased smile before decideing to go raid the kitchen for breakfast. Naruto picked the box up off the bed and placed it on a desk in the corner of the room and made a beeline for the kitchen. Naruto's line of thought reasoned that if someone was keeping this house clean, they'd definitely restock the kitchen. When Naruto wondered into the kitchen, he saw a note on the kitchen bench. picking it up, he began reading it.

 

'Dear Naruto,

 

I have taken the liberty of preparing this house for you to move into. I've fully stocked the kitchen with every type of ramen you can think of. But I've also packed the refrigerator full of vegitables, fruits and other more... nutritious things than ramen. I hope you enjoy your new house. Take care,

 

Hokage.'

 

Naruto smiled. That old man sure knew how to win his heart. As Naruto set down the note again, he opened the first cupboard he could reach and he stared at the cupboard's contents before muttering something which quickly worked it's way into a very loud bellow.

 

“YATTA!!!! SPECIAL NINDO RAMEN!!!!! I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!”

 

The volume of this statement was enough to startle Yukiko awake. 'Does that boy EVER get tired?'

 

'Unlikely, kitten. He does have my mate sealed inside him after all.'

 

'Good point.'

 

'Why don't you go down and get something for breakfast?'

 

'Yeah.'

 

With that, Yukiko swung her legs over the edge of the bed and marvled at the room for the first time. This was certainly a very extravagent room. Shaking her head in disbelief, she made her way towards the ever increasing roar that was Naruto's voice.

 

“WOW! HE EVEN GAVE ME 60 PACKETS OF THAT LIMITED EDITION SECRET FIRE COUNTRY RAMEN!!! THIS IS SO AWESOME!!!”

 

“Naruto-Kun?”

 

“Hmmm?”

 

With that she put her hand over his mouth to silence him.

 

“Baka! You'll wake up the entire village at this rate! Keep it down ok?”

 

He nodded his head.

 

“Good. To tell you the truth, I really can't be bothered to make breakfast today. Could you please make something for me? I'm going to go take a quick shower before breakfast. Call me when it's ready ok?”

 

“Gotcha! See you in a bit!”

 

With that she smiled and before she realised what she was doing, she took Naruto into her arms and gave him a hug that was a little more than friendly. Naruto didn't know what happened, and he was shocked to say the least. But after a few moments, he instictively put his arms around her waist. Yukiko pulled back to look at Naruto and give him a very warm smile.

 

“Naruto-Kun, I think you're a really great guy. I really don't see why the other villagers can't accept you. But I won't let anyone harm you while I'm by your side, ok? You're.... too much of a close friend to lose. Do you want to make a promise? I'll always protect you if you do the same for me?”

 

Naruto thought about it for a fraction of a second and gave her one of his trademark foxy grins.

 

“You got it, Yukiko-Chan! We'll protect eachother to the end! That's a promise!”

 

They smiled at each other before Yukiko pulled away and went to go take a shower. As soon as she left Naruto's arms, Naruto suddenly felt like part of his being had been taken away. He then realised that he only felt 'complete' so to speak when Yukiko was in his arms. He sighed and turned around to start making the only thing he knew how to. Ramen.

 

Little did Naruto know that Yukiko was thinking almost exactly the same thing he was.

 

'I feel so.... empty when I'm not in his arms...'

 

“I must say, you've gotten the worst case of love pangs I've ever seen, kitten.'

 

'WHAT DID YOU SAY!? Love Pangs? You've got to be kidding me! Sure I like him, maybe as a bit more than a friend, but...'

 

'But?'

 

'I don't know, ok? Maybe I do love him, maybe I don't.'

 

'This may take a while to get used to, but I believe you'll regret it if you don't continue developing the relationship with him. Trust me, that boy could satisfy your wildest desires-'

 

'AHHHHHH!!! I don't love him enough to do that kind of stuff yet!!'

 

'Oh? You just admitted you love him, didn't you?'

 

Yukiko just realised what she had admitted. There was no point in denying it any longer.

 

'Ok, ok, so I do love him. So what? Can we just drop this now?'

 

'Sure thing, kitten.'

 

With her work done, Nibi prayed that Kyubi was doing his half of the work. Unfortunately for her, Kyubi was having a much tougher time convicing his vessel of his feelings for her vessel. She went back to sleep in her cell, satisfied with her mental persuasion.

 

'Admit it kit. You have fallen head over heals in love.'

 

'Damn it! For the last time, no I haven't!'

 

'You're a persistant little brat, aren't you?'

 

'So are you you damn fox!'

 

With a deep chuckle, the Kyubi focused his senses through Naruto's nose and took a wiff of his mate's container.

 

'I'll admit it too you now, that vixen smells pretty good for a human. The perfect mix of a feline scent mixed with sweat, and a hint of musk.'

 

'EWWWWWWW!!! That's totally gross!'

 

'Is it?'

 

Kyubi's question caught Naruto totally of guard. What did he mean 'is it?' Of course it is... isn't it?

 

'Well, now that I think about it, she kinda did make me feel funny when I smelt her hair just before...'

 

The Kyubi had had enough. This kit put a sack of bricks to shame when it came to being thick.

 

'For god's sake kit! Do you know what that 'funny' feeling even is? Did you EVER get the lecture on the 'birds and the bees'?

 

Naruto just stared at Kyubi blankly.

 

'Birds and the Bees? What the hell was that?'

 

The kyubi nearly tore his fur out in fustration. How could the kid possibly be so.... so.... STUPID?

 

'My god kit! Don't they teach you ANYTHING in that damn academy of yours? Alright, listen up and listen closely, I'm giving this lecture once and once only. I seriously can't believe that the king of the demons has been reduced to teaching a mere human about love! Have we really fallen so far? Anyways listen up! When a man and a woman love each other...'

 

Although Yukiko was oblivious to the talk that was going on in Naruto's head, Nibi was able to guess by the minute amounts of Kyubi's chakra seeping out from Naruto's body as to what was going on. She failed to contain herself after a few minutes and just burst out laughing.

 

'What's so funny?'

 

'Oh, my mate's just giving his container the prep talk on the birds and the bees. It's the best laugh I've had in many centuries.'

 

'Why on earth would he be giving Naruto-Kun THAT talk?'

 

'I'l give it to the boy, he's devilishly hansom, has an intoxicating aroma, an abhorrent stamina capacity, but he has a potato for brains.'

 

'Don't speak about Naruto-Kun like that!'

 

'Oh? Defending your mate, are you? How honourable.'

 

'So? He may not be the sharpest knife in the draw, but he's still not that bad!'

 

'Fine, believe what you will. In any case, how about getting dressed and going down for breakfast, hmm?'

 

'Good idea.'

 

When Yukiko entered the room, what she saw was priceless. The look on Naruto's face was the look of someone who litterally just had the veil of naivity ripped from their eyes and now saw the world in all it's shocking realism. She then realised what her tenant had said was true. Naruto heard Yukiko entering the room and whipped his head around with a look of so many conflicting emotions displayed on his face that she just burst out laughing.

 

“Oh, Naruto-Kun, the look on your face is priceless. If only I had a camera here..”

 

She tried to open her eyes and focus on the kitchen counter. Low and behold, there on the table was nothing other than a disposable camera. She couldn't believe her luck. She quickly checked how many shots it had left and found out that there was a full roll of film left. She immedaitely brought the camera to her face and started snapping pictures.

 

'Oh! Get ready to take a picture! This is going to be the best part!

 

3...

 

2...

 

1...

 

NOW!'

 

Yukiko started snapping pictures madly as soon as that three letter word was mentioned, and was she ever thankful for the advanced warning because at that moment, Kyubi just got to the most intergral part of the prep talk. (Yes, THAT part)

 

BOOM!

 

Naruto went flying back into the air with twin geysers of blood gushing out of his nose and crashed into the far wall. Yukiko couldn't contain herself any longer and dropped the now fully used camera onto the bench top and rolled around the floor laughing. This was the funiest thing both Bijus and Yukiko had ever seen. And all of it was recorded on camera, and would be exceptional blackmail material if required. Yukiko then looked at the clock and noticed they had wasted a lot of time so far. She slowly used the bench for support before making her way over to when Naruto had landed in a heap, still leaking blood out of his nose. Still giggling, she picked up Naruto and gave him a gentle shake.

 

“Naruto-Kun? We-hehehehe-We have to get moving. The test is going to start in an hour and a half. Naruto-Kun?”

 

'He's completely out of it kitten. Just let him rest for a while. After living a naïve life like that, I'm not surprised he reacted the way he did. I suggest making him some of those... what do you call them... “Special Nindo Ramen”? That should wake him up.'

 

'Sure thing.'

 

Meanwhile, Naruto was in a state of shock.

 

'Are you SERIOUS?!? People actually DO that kind of thing?!?'

 

'You bet kit. It's renound as the most plesurable expeirences known to humans.'

 

'But... I mean... They actually.... DO IT?!'

 

'Where do you think you came from kit?'

 

'EWWWWWWW!!'

 

'Seriously, Kit. Get over it. Anyways, I think I can smell some ramen... And not just any ramen. Some Special Nindo Ramen.'

 

Not believing what he was told, Naruto took a sniff of the air.

 

'Hey, you're right!'

 

Naruto just realised how hungry he was. His stomach whole heartedly agreed, replying with a very loud growl.

 

'Heh. Go on kit, go eat. After that, go show those bastards at the academy that we're not losers.'

 

'Sure thing.'

 

With that, Naruto woke up to find 5 bowls of Special Nindo Ramen waiting for him. Not containing himself any longer, he rushed to the table and started eating at breakneck speed. Yukiko looked on in wonder at not only the speed Naruto was eating at, but the volume of food he was consuming.

 

'My god, how does he manage to pay for all the food if this is what he eats for BREAKFAST?'

 

'Heh, a growing kit needs his food. Just a warning. NEVER get in the way of an animal and their food.'

 

By the time Yukiko had finished her bowl, Naruto had long finished his five. Sighing, Naruto stood up and started walking towards the hallway.

“Eh, thanks for making me the ramen, Yukiko-Chan. I really appreciate it.”

 

“No problem, Naruto-Kun.”

 

They smiled at each other, before quickly trying something to fill the tension between them.

 

“Um... I'm going to take a shower. Once I finish, do you want to head for the academy?”

 

“Uh.. Sure... Ill get our bags ready.”

 

“Ok, see you in a few minutes!”

 

With that, Naruto quickly scampered out of the room. Leaving both of them to struggle with their internal feelings for each other.

 

After Naruto's shower, he quickly realised he didn't have any clean clothes. He went to the chest of draws and saw a multitude of clothing. He sorted through it before settling on a pair of black cargo pants and a red muscle shirt and then decided to throw on a black vest over the top. He then turned around and saw the box ontop of the besk where he had left it.

 

'Oh well. One look counl't hurt could it?'

 

He trudged over and opend the box to find it had beautiful purple velvet sides, and a stack of paper, as well as other assorted things in it. The very top piece of paper caught Naruto's attention as it said 'To Naruto' on the front in roughly scrawled handwriting.

 

Naruto shakily picked up the piece of paper and opened it delicately, afraid it might crumble in his hands. Openeing it, he saw the same roughly scrawled handwriting inside as on the front. He prepared for the worst and began to read:

 

'Dear Naruto,

 

If you are reading this letter, it means that you are now a Genin or are not far from it. I fully regret that I will not be present to watch you graduate. If I could have done it, believe me, I would have. I want nothing more than to see you follow in my footsteps and maybe ever surpass me. I don't have much time left, as right now, we are fighting a losing war aginst the Kyubi no Kitsune. I have developed a technique that I hope will be able to stop it's murderous rampage. Your mother is standing next to me, cradiling you in her arms. You look so serene while you sleep, unawear of the fate that you must carry. I'm... so sorry that I have to do this to you. I understand if you never forgive me, because I truly don't deserve it. Naruto, this is the last time we will ever communiate.' At this point, the ink on the page seems to have run, indicating that some sort of liquid had mixed with the ink before it had dried. Most likely tears. Pushing on, Naruto continued to read. 'I hope you find some girl that will make you happy, Naruto. When you do, treasure her and protect her with your life. We are the last of the Uzumakis. With what will transpire in the next few hours, the number of Uzumakis walking the face of the planet will be reduced to one. You. I have to go now, we have reports that the walls of the town have been breached. Fairwell, my son. Remember that we will always love you, and protect you in spirit.

 

Love,

 

Uzumaki Arashi & Uzumaki Natsuhi.

 

PS: In case you haven't noticed, your old man was the Hokage. Yondiame, to be exact. Now that you know that, I expect you to surpass me. I will not accept anything less than you reaching Hokage , or at least captain of the ANBU forces like your mother.

 

PPS: Below this letter in the box is everything you could want to know about our heratige, our trademark jutsus and other assorted things.

 

PPPS: I really shouldn't be doing this, but don't forget that we will always love you, even if you don't love us. Goodbye, my son.'

 

Naruto just dropped the letter and bawled his eyes out. How could no one tell him about this? He was the son of a HOKAGE for god's sake! People wouldn't have dared touch him if they knew that.

 

Downstairs, Yukiko was just finishing packing her bags when she heard sobs coming from upstairs. Very worried, she turned away from the bags and ran towards the sound of crying. When she reached the bedroom, she found Naruto on the floor in a fetal position next to a piece of paper. Her maternal instinct took over she rushed to his side and hugged him in a bear hug.

 

“Naruto-Kun? What's wrong? Tell me what happened.”

 

Naruto just loked up at her with a pleading expression in his eyes, before he pointed to the piece of paper and whispered: “Read it.”

 

Yukiko picked up the piece of paper and began reading it. The pieces of the puzzle were now fitting together. The reason why he was hated, why he didn't have any parents, why he specifically had been chosen as the container. All of it fit together perfectly. She let a tear roll down her cheek, and went back to Naruto and hugged him, before kissing his forehead.

 

“It's going to be ok, Naruto-Kun, I promise. Would your dad have wanted to see you like this? Come on Naruto-Kun, be strong. Today is the day of the Genin exams. Show them why you are not to be messed with.”

 

Naruto stopped his crying and hugged Yukiko fiercly. He pulled back slightly to look into her eyes before whispering: “Thank you.”

 

They both closed their eyes and leaned in, and slowly, their lips met in a light kiss. They both just sat there, enjoying these new sensations that they had never experienced before. To them, it felt like an eternity but it was infact only a few minutes. Slowly they pulled apart, gasping for air. They looked at eachother with a new expression on their faces.... Love.

 

Naruto didn't know what to say. Luckily, a certain tenant did.

 

'Ask her.'

 

'Bwaaah?'

 

'Very eloquent kit. I said ask her to be your girlfriend.'

 

'But-'

 

'Trust me.'

 

With much blushing Naruto began stuttering and mubling before his words were finally audiable.

 

“Um, Yukiko-Chan will you... um... bemygirlfriend?”

 

Yukiko smiled, and looked at him with a mixture of understanding and love.

 

“Yes, Naruto-Kun, I will.”

 

They both smiled at each other again before Naruto began figiting again.

 

“Um... may... I... um...”

 

Again, Yukiko smiled in understanding.

 

“Yes, Naruto-Kun.”

 

He smiled before leaning in to claim another kiss. This one however was slightly more passionate, although shorter than the last one. Both demons gave themselves an immaginary high five and a very loud:

 

“Yatta!”

A/N: OMFG, what a draining chapter! Over 6 hours of writing! Oh god, I need a break! I definitely have to say, this chapter was not only the funniest one so far, but the saddest and happiest one so far as well. As always, comments and votes would be nice. Right now, I'm going to go lay down on my bed and take a snooze. Until next time, my avid readers!

 

Ja ne,

 

Specula.
