Chapter 2:

Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to Naruto in any way.

A/N: Thanks guys for all the reviews, favorites and follows.

Minato walked back to the bedroom in annoyance, to get ready for the day. Half an hour later he was out of the house and not for one second, the morning scene left his head alone. He felt a foreboding feeling that his peaceful days have come to an end.

He went in his office and started to think of a suitable Shinobi for the S-class missions. Until now Kushina handled them effectively and faster but it seemed to him that he was going to have a tough time ahead in finding a replacement for Kushina.

After Minato went to his office, Kushina decided to prepare something for breakfast. She stood up and walked to the kitchen.

Kiriha came downstairs having showered and fresh. She was ready to go to the academy. She walked towards the Kitchen to eat something but stopped in her tracks when she saw her mother there... cooking while humming to herself.

What was her mom doing at home? She should be on another mission.

A sudden jolt of nervousness ran through her body. It was a rare sight to see her mother cooking in the morning.

'Well whatever, it's not like I have something to hide from her. She loves me' she thought inwardly and smiled.

She came downstairs and walked up to her mother from behind and wrapped her arms around her, ''Good morning mom'' she greeted cheerfully.

Kushina was just moments away from throwing Kiriha away, when she realized it was her daughter and realized she was at home. She wasn't used to surprises like that. She killed the enemies who sneaked up on her, in seconds.

Kushina relaxed, ''Morning sweetie'' Kushina replied with a smile.

''Now sit and wait for the breakfast'' Kushina said and Kiriha went to sit on the sofa.

Kiriha's eyes narrowed when she saw Naruto sleeping peacefully on another sofa.

'What the hell' she raged inwardly and stomped towards him to give him a piece of her mind.

She stood by the sofa and lifted her arm to shake him awake.

''Let him sleep Kiriha'' Kiriha stopped her hand in midway and froze from the tone of her mother.

Kushina put the plates on the table and sat down on the ground, her previous position and caressed his face softly.

Kiriha sat down and ate her breakfast and Kushina too started to eat.

Finishing an awkward breakfast Kiriha stood up, ''I am going'' she said and started to move out but stopped when she heard her other, ''Kiriha, come home straight from academy'' Kushina said while eating her breakfast.

''Umm...Why'' Kiriha asked, again nervous.

Kushina put her plate down and looked at Kiriha, ''Bring your dad with you. Tell him to hold his work for today evening. I want to have a long chat with you and your dad'' Kushina said and started to caress Naruto's face and hair again.

Kiriha couldn't recognize the look on her mother's face. She said her yes and walked out immediately.

''Today I will know what the hell is going on in my family behind my back'' Kushina said to herself and turned to Naruto, ''Second step to make it up to you...I have to take hundreds of steps...I know but I don't care what I have to do'' she whispered to a sleeping Naruto.

Two hours later, Naruto and Kushina sat on the couches, across from each other, showered. Naruto was eating his breakfast which Kushina had made for him. Naruto first refused but conceded when Kushina implored. She wanted to make something for him to eat. It's been ages since she made something for him.

''How is it'' Kushina asked hopefully.

Naruto put the plate down, ''Well it's good to not have to cook breakfast in the morning for myself'' Naruto said and Kushina's smile disappeared and she looked down, ''I know It should have been me to cook meals for you...I am sorry'' she again choked back a sob.

Naruto stood up, ignoring her, ''I am going, I need to move my stuff'' he said and started to move to his room but stopped, ''On second thought, except some old cloths I don't have anything of importance to move'' he said with a thoughtful look on his face then he shook his head and walked to his room.

It was coming in shocks to Kushina that how miserable her baby's life had been. He cooked his own meals and he didn't have anything he could say his own. She put her face in her palms and cried.

She didn't know what to do. How she would be able to make it up to him. She had vowed to do anything for him, to make him love her again. Before doing anything she needed to know first, she needed to talk to her husband and daughter and know what had happened with him. Why did they discriminate him like that?

Naruto came down after two hours. He saw his mother sitting on the couch. Her head was leaned back against the backrest of the couch. He could see the dried tears on her face and felt a little sadness in his heart but he refused to give in and walked down, ''I am going'' he said and Kushina's eyes snapped open and a lost look appeared in her eyes.

''I am going...for good'' He said and looked away when tears again started to stream from her eyes.

''I will never return... In this house'' He managed to say and started to move towards the door.

With every step of his, towards the door, Kushina felt like someone was squeezing her heart slowly.

She wanted to go and stop him. She wanted to stop him so badly that her body stood up even though her mind was saying that she didn't have any right to stop him. Her body moved and as he stepped out of the door, she reached to him and wrapped her arms around him from behind.

''P-Please, D-Don't...'' she pleaded in a broken voice.

Naruto was startled. He could feel the emotions in her voice. He could feel her tears dropping on his head.

His eyes welled up hearing his mother begging him to not go. But that was something he couldn't do, ''M-Mom, Please, don't make it hard for me. You...You need to understand. I have to move on...I won't be able to...to stand up for myself if I... Stay here. I n-need to prove myself that I am not weak. I can survive by myself. Mom...Please'' It was getting hard for him to control his emotions. The part of him that was dry from the lack of motherly affection was screaming to just accept his mother's pleas but other part that had had enough and just wanted to be left alone was screaming at him to just throw his mother aside and walk away. Both part of his heart were having a war inside him.

Kushina didn't say anything; she just tightened her arms around him.

Earlier he was ready and set to just walk out of this door but now why was it so hard for him to walk away from his mother, was it because he still loved her and If it was, then why the hell he still loved her. Why his heart didn't hate her completely. It would have been so easy if he hated her with no shreds of loving feelings. It would have been so easy to just cast her aside, had he hated her.

Damn it, he couldn't even gather the strength to just unfold her arms from around him.

He felt a little surprised when her grip loosened and then she released him.

Naruto made a mistake of turning to face her. She wasn't crying anymore. She had a smile on her face with quivering lips.

''I …understand'' she managed through her teeth. She clenched her jaw tight to not cry again in front of him.

The look on her face was one of a desperate, defeated, regret and remorse which was clear in her eyes and a lost person whose everything had been taken away from her. And with that look, her quivering lips were stretched in a smile which was just moments away from crumbling.

Naruto was so much wanted to wipe those tears away but he closed his eyes and looked to the side. He turned and took one step then another and another.

He stopped after ten steps and looked back over his shoulder, ''I still love you mom'' he said and walked out.

Kushina's eyes became wide when she heard Naruto's words. She had thought he hated her but he still loved her...then why... was it his way of punishing her, knowing that he is hurting himself, will hurt her more.

She fell down on her knees and cried.

Naruto just as he came out of the vicinity of the Namikaze clan compound, he stopped and let his emotions pour out in the form of tears.

After half hour when he was composed again he made his way towards his new place to live, Anko's apartment.

He entered in the apartment and fell down on the couch. He felt exhausted. He closed his eyes and fell asleep. Anko was on a mission.

Day passed and the academy ended. Kiriha came out with her friends. She was the strongest of them all since she knew all Uzumaki and Namikaze fighting styles and her chakra also helped her. Though Kushina hadn't taught her much but it was more than enough.

Itachi was the only one that came close to a tie with her in a spar. Kiriha was attracted towards him and she had plans for future with him. She had recently decided to date him but he was always so quiet and mysterious and he always had something to do so she couldn't get a chance.

She noticed Anko was behaving a little odd towards her. Oh well it wasn't her concern what happens with her. She didn't like her that much.

After saying goodbye to her friends she decided to go home but she remembered her mother's words. So she went to Hokage building.

Minato looked up from the papers he was reading when Kiriha entered in the room without knocking.

Minato guessed something was wrong when he saw the look on his daughter's face. Kiriha sat down in a chair across from Minato.

Minato put the papers aside and looked at Kiriha, ''What is it'' he asked already guessing the answer.

Kiriha sighed, ''It's about mom'' she said and pushed the strands of blond hair that slipped to her face, back to her ear.

Minato sighed. He knew already what her problem was.

''Dad, mom is at home. Why haven't you sent her on a mission'' Kiriha asked with a hint of desperation in her tone.

''Your mother has decided to stay at home now'' he said and stood up and walked to the window.

Kiriha's blood froze in her veins literally. Her mother will stay at home that meant that everything will change now.

She again will have to make plans to make her mother avoid Naruto. Since she knew how much her mother loved them both. And most of all she will have to be nice to Naruto.

''Dad why would mom decide something so important abruptly'' she asked and Minato looked back at her daughter.

''Apparently, Your mother had a talk with Naruto in the early morning when she came downstairs to have some water. I think Naruto told her everything about how he is being treated'' he said with narrowed eyes. He sat back in his chair.

Kiriha's world came crashing down on her, ''Wh-What'' she sputtered.

Minato sighed again, ''Kiriha, do you remember the plan we had made all those years ago'' he asked in a soft tone.

''Yeah I remember. There's no way I could forget something like that'' Kiriha answered immediately.

Minato nodded and leaned back, ''Our plan didn't involve Kushina's decision of staying at home. I never thought Kushina would ever give up being a ninja just for her family...her son'' Minato said and almost whispered last part since he knew she will get overload if she understood the fact that her mother had given up Shinobi job because of her brother.

But the look of hate and disgust on Kiriha's face told Minato that she had heard him. Shit.

''I can't believe this...mom would do this for him'' Kiriha growled.

''You know, she would have done the same for you too'' Minato tried to calm her down.

''No dad, she wouldn't because I have tried...I had asked her to spent more time with me but she didn't...'' she said with gritting teeth, ''she loves him more than me even after I tried so much to make her avoid him'' Kiriha finished with an enraged look in her eyes.

Minato sighed umpteenth time. He needed Kiriha to calm and collected for plan to progress further.

The look in his eyes hardened, ''Kiriha, I want you to stay calm and act naturally around your mother and brother'' he said with a hard tone which made Kiriha shut up and she nodded.

''Now what else you wanted to talk about'' he asked.

Kiriha took a deep breath; ''Mom wanted me to bring you home early...she wants to talk to us both'' She told him actual reason of her visit.

Minato nodded with a feeling of dread. He knew the topic of the talk and he hadn't thought about what to say to her.

'Damn' he thought. It was hard to persuade Kushina for anything without a legitimate reason behind it and even then it must be of her standards of reason. And there was no way she would take any blow to her family in an easy way. This was the only matter where she threw all the sense of reasons out of the window.

But for his plans it was necessary to divert Kushina away from Naruto and he will have to do anything for it.

''Alright you go. I will be behind you'' he said and Kiriha nodded. She stood up and walked towards the door. As she reached the gate she glanced back over her shoulder, ''Dad come soon. I can't face mom alone'' she said in almost a scared tone but a smile from her dad soothed her worries. She walked out.

''Now what to do'' Minato said to himself.

It was around five in the evening. Kushina sat on the couch with a cup of coffee in her hand.

After Naruto's departure Kushina had gone out to know more about her son's life in the locale. She had to meet her friends and some people.

When she went out, she had decided to walk and see if she could hear something...anything.

As she reached to some shops, she heightened her senses.

''Hey do you know what happened to that monster. It hadn't come out for a while now''

Hearing first statement Kushina stopped in her tracks.

Monster...her eyes widened...No, they couldn't be...she thought and started to move again.

''Man I want to beat the shit out of that monster again''

Kushina's fists clenched. She continued to walk.

''He was just final blow away from death when that bitch stopped us''

Her nails dug in her palm drawing blood.

''Speak low man if someone heard then we could be in trouble''

She had heard them already.

''Really, come on, No one cares what happens to him, not even his parents cares for him let alone someone else. We'd better complete our job next time''

Kushina's whole body trembled in rage, an unbridled rage; she had never felt in her whole life not even on the extreme dangerous situations while she was on the missions. It was so much that it leaked from her body and spread over the area.

The peoples were pushed down onto the ground with labored breath.

Kushina's teethes were grinding so hard that it were making a clattering sound. Her face was contorted in a devil's face. People had already stated to lose consciousness from the pressure.

Kushina's breath was coming out in long exhales which were almost like growls.

Suddenly a thought or better say a fact came to her mind that it was also her fault that he went through so much. Her ignorance led him to suffer so much.

The pressure lowered and then disappeared. Kushina unconsciously started to walk to her destination, Mikoto's house, as tears streamed down on her cheeks.

Kushina didn't find anything from Mikoto except that she had barely seen Naruto. Whenever she was invited to Kiriha's birthdays Naruto wasn't there, either in his room or out of house. When Mikoto asked why he was in her room then she were told that he didn't like parties.

This information that Naruto didn't like parties was a bit different from what Naruto had told her.

Mikoto also told that she was never invited to Naruto's birthday which confirmed that his b'day was never celebrated when she wasn't at home.

But the thing that affected her most was when Mikoto told her that she had heard from Itachi about all things Kiriha did to Naruto.

She thanked Mikoto for the information. Mikoto said if she wanted to know more she can talk to Itachi.

Kushina said her goodbye to Mikoto and then visited her other friends.

From Tsume she almost got what she got from Mikoto and just as Mikoto, Tsume said to talk to Hana if she wanted to know more.

She again thanked Tsume and visited her other friends.

She almost got same information from everyone. She didn't talk to any one of Kiriha's classmates since she didn't want her to know what she was doing. There was a high chance someone will tell her.

Kushina returned back around four and then after having a shower she waited for Kiriha and Minato to arrive.

The clock ticked 5.30 and Minato and Kiriha entered from the main door. They greeted Kushina good evening and went to get fresh.

At 6.00 Minato and Kiriha sat in the living room with Kushina.

Kiriha was nervous, Kushina could see and Minato was a blank faced man sitting like he didn't know anything.

Kushina stared at the duo and closed her eyes to calm the raging storm in her.

''So what did you wanted to talk about Kushina. What was so important that you had to call me from my office even before the ending of office hours'' Minato said in an edgy tone.

''Well I know, this work, for the village, is important to you than your family'' Kushina said sarcastically, ''But there are some things I want to know and that couldn't wait for another minute'' she finished with a hint of a cold voice.

''Mom, dad cares for-'' Kiriha stopped when Kushina threw a glare at her with cold eyes.

Minato looked at his wife and sighed, ''Kushina it's not like that, I do care about my family'' he said but he could feel his hands sweating.

Kushina turned to Minato, ''oh then tell, who this family is'' Kushina asked with narrowed eyes.

Minato smiled, ''Of course you me and Kiriha...and Naruto'' he deliberately forgot to add Naruto.

''Why did you pause before taking Naruto's name'' she asked glaring at him.

Minato didn't falter, ''Well he always stays in his room or whenever we tries to talk to him he just answers in one or two words. It's just he doesn't consider us his family. And he only answers when I ask him, he ignores Kiriha completely if she says something to him'' It was true. Naruto ignored his sister whenever she tried to show him his place in the house. Kushina would have believed Minato, had she not gone out and talked to her friends and other people.

''Yes mom, he doesn't talk to me much and whenever he does he behaves rudely'' Kiriha confirmed her father's words.

Kushina stayed silent, her eyes closed. Minato and Kiriha looked at her.

Then Minato continued, ''I know that you love Naruto Kushina but that kid doesn't love us or even care. What could we do'' Minato said smiling internally, ''So we thought that it would be better to leave him alone'' Minato finished and smiled. He looked at Kiriha and they nodded to each other when Kushina wasn't looking.

Kushina had her eyes closed. She suddenly chuckled and started to laugh. Minato and Kiriha looked at her in apprehension.

Kushina then suddenly stopped Laughing and her demeanor changed to a cold one.

She looked at Minato with narrowed eyes, ''You think I am a fool, huh'' she said and Minato recoiled back, ''What'' he uttered.

''When I started to go on those god damn Missions, Naruto wasn't the kid as you have described him just now. So why did he became like that, what did you two do to make him like that'' she growled and Kiriha started to sweat in fear.

''What are you talking about, Kushina. We didn't do anything'' Minato said.

''That's what you did 'nothing'. You must have done something'' She said glaring at Minato.

''W-What'' Minato stuttered. He couldn't understand what she meant.

''Tell me Minato, why you didn't train Naruto like you trained Kiriha. Okay you were busy, then why didn't you appoint someone for it'' she said and turned to Kiriha who flinched back, ''And you'' Kushina said pointing a finger towards Kiriha, ''You are the elder sister whose responsibility is to protect and take care of his little brother but what you did'' Kushina said in a cold and livid tone. She didn't want to do this to her daughter but she couldn't help it, ''Naruto told me how you treated him, Kiriha and seriously I am disappointed in you'' Kushina said and shook her head in disappointment which brought tears in Kiriha's eyes. This was going differently. She wanted her mother to love her and only her but she made her disappoint but she will stick to the plan if she wanted to have her mother for herself and be a clan leader.

''You both are a lying bunch because I can't see the truth and sincerity in your eyes and on your faces. Naruto told me everything'' Kushina said and looked at Kiriha, ''Your attempts to make me avoid him, your efforts to make me hate him. Your efforts to have my home time only for you. How much you hated your brother and bully him, embarrass him, humiliate him in front of your friends or everyone. If you think everyone will be proud of these inhuman acts then I think your father is that only person'' Kushina said and looked at Minato, ''You didn't even try to stop her from doing all those things huh. She even condemned him in front of you but you just sat there like nothing was going on. It must have been fun for you to see your son getting ridiculed in front of you. What kind of father are you, Minato'' Kushina said in disgust and disappointment.

''And you even kept me sending on missions after missions knowing what was happening with your son. What the hell were you thinking'' Kushina exclaimed getting irate now.

Minato looked like he was thinking now. What to say to calm her down. He had no answers of her accusations because she was right and she knew she was right. He wondered what else Naruto had told her. But he was on the brink of having enough.

''I left my home and children to you hoping that you will take your fatherly responsibilities seriously. I trusted you and you destroyed that trust, Minato'' Kushina said sadly this time.

Minato was looking down to the ground, thinking. He raised his head and looked at Kushina, ''Kushina, I know you are upset but-'' Minato got cut mid sentence when Kushina glared at him, ''I am not upset Minato...I am fucking furious. Only I know how I am controlling myself from ripping-'' She stopped and looked at Kiriha who had a scared look in her eyes and on her face.

''Do you know Minato how much I want to destroy this village after hearing what those assholes did to my poor baby, when I went out in afternoon'' kushina growled in anger when she remembered those words.

Minato looked at Kushina with wide eyes when Kushina said to destroy the village. Then his eyes narrowed, ''You wouldn't dare Kushina'' Minato Exclaimed.

Kushina chuckled hearing him, ''Those bastards almost killed my baby several times and you still saying those words to me'' Kushina said with narrowed eyes and looked at Minato suspiciously, ''You know Minato, I am wondering why were you not aware when those scums were killing our son...why Minato...You are making me think in a different direction now'' Kushina said and stood up and walked to Minato who was looking at Kushina defiantly. He too stood up. They were almost of same height.

''Is there anything you want to say to me Minato'' Kushina asked in a calm but dangerous tone.

''Because if you don't then I have somewhat guess or…..understood several things now about you and Kiriha'' Kushina finished and sat back down on the sofa.

''What-What did you understood'' Minato asked apprehensively.

Kushina sighed and sat back on the couch and leaned back and rested her head on the backrest of the sofa and stared at ceiling, ''It was all deliberate on both of your part. Whatever happened to Naruto, You allowed it to happen even after knowing it. You actually never considered Naruto your son, right. You never wanted a second child even if it was a boy. But still he was and is your son...I just wonder if you feel anything positive in your heart for Naruto at all.

I don't know why you did all of this to Naruto and what your purpose was but I know that because of you two, Naruto went through hell'' Kushina said sadly, still staring at the ceiling.

Minato and Kiriha sat there frozen, shell shocked with wide eyes. How...how the hell can she figure it out so exactly?

Kushina again turned their attention towards her, ''But you know what the sad thing is...performing these acts to their own family member was none other than my husband and daughter. You failed as a father, Minato and you failed as a sister, Kiriha and I am no better than you because I too failed as a mother. My own family did an unforgivable deed. I would have killed you till now, had you been someone else. But now...I am conflicted...I don't know what to do with you two...I loved you...I still love you... but after what you did with Naruto I am just feeling disgust...nothing else...Nothing at...all'' she said last word with a choked breath. Tears were flowing down to her cheeks. It was hard for her. It was her own damn family. Her own husband, who she loved dearly and the daughter whom she was ready to die for, just as for Naruto but after what they did...she didn't know what to do with her own family.

She wiped her tears and stood up and looked at Minato, ''I am going to do everything to make it up to my son, whatever it takes'' Kushina said in a determined tone which Minato didn't like, ''And what are you going to do'' he asked dreading the answer.

''Hmm... I wonder what I should do. You have already announced Kiriha Namikaze clan's heir when Naruto must have been the one but anyway I will have to think'' she said making Minato and Kriha froze again. What the hell, Minato thought. Was there anything she wasn't told or she hadn't figured out.

Kushina stood up again and turned to go upstairs but stopped and turned back, ''I am moving out. I can't stand the sight of you two at the moment and you two can do whatever you want just don't come in my way and do not bother Naruto anymore'' Kushina said and turned again towards upstairs. This time she stopped when she heard Kiriha, ''Mom you can't go. You can't leave me'' she cried with tears flowing down her eyes.

Kushina raised an eyebrow, ''Really, Kiriha. Even after this much you expect me to stay here with you and your dad'' Kushina said incredulously.

''Yes mom, I don't want you to leave. I want to live with you'' Kiriha said with sobs.

It saddened Kushina to see her daughter crying like that but she still hadn't understood anything what her mother was going through. She was still thinking about herself.

''There is only one way that could happen'' Kushina said looking directly at Minato and Kiriha.

Kiriha's face lit up, ''I...We will do anything mom, just tell us'' Kiriha begged.

Kushina smiled, ''Both of you will go to Naruto and apologize on your knees'' Kushina said and Kiriha's next words, whatever they were stuck in her throat. Same was with Minato. She expected him, the village Hokage to kneel in front of him, never.

Kushina looked at both of them and got her answer. She went upstairs and packed her cloths and other womanly accessory in two bags. She came down with her bags and moved towards the door. Minato and Kiriha stood there, looking at her.

Kushina looked at them and seeing Kiriha crying her eyes out, her eyes misted up but she controlled her emotion. She looked at Minato and was surprised to see nothing there. No emotions. Well that made it easy for her.

''By the way, Naruto had already moved out and is living with someone. I will live in a rented apartment'' Kushina said and moved towards the door again. After two steps she stopped again looked back at her family, ''I beg you two, Please, don't make Naruto's life harder than it already is'' Kushina said in a pleading tone. She turned and walked out leaving a crying Kiriha and a blank faced Minato.

Naruto had been sleeping all day in Anko's bed. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that it was dark outside and the room was lit in mild light of a lamp.

Naruto realized that he wasn't alone on the bed. He looked down and saw an arm draped over his torso and a leg over his two legs.

Naruto sighed, ''When did she return'' he thought aloud. He looked at the clock. It read 9.

''I returned two hours ago'' he heard her say in his back.

Naruto turned and met with Anko's eyes, a grin on her face.

Naruto smiled, ''How did your mission go'' he asked and put a hand on her arm.

''Fantastic'' she exclaimed and brought her face closer to his making him blush, ''You, know how strong your big sis is. It was just a piece of cake'' she boasted with a grin and rubbed her nose with his.

Naruto stared at her. She was wearing a loose sleeveless top and her shorts. Naruto saw some red bruises on her shoulder and two small cuts on her forehead and a bandage on her neck.

He put his index finger on the bruised shoulder and Anko winced immediately, ''Yeah, It was a piece of cake, then how did you get this make up, huh'' Naruto asked and Anko's head turned to the side to hide the blush of embarrassment.

''You are a bad liar Anko-chan'' Naruto whispered softly in her ear.

Naruto then kissed the cuts on her forehead and then kissed on her bruised shoulder.

''What are you doing'' Anko asked in confusion.

Naruto looked at her and smiled, ''When I was little, Mom used to kiss me whenever and wherever I was hurt to make the pain go away. So I am making your pain go away'' Naruto said innocently and Anko got emotional hearing him. She grabbed his shoulders and hugged her tight to her body. They stayed several moments like that, ''Thank You Naruto for sending my pain away'' Anko muttered in a low voice.

Naruto smiled, he knew it was nothing just the act but it showed the feelings of care for each other.

He hugged her tighter, ''You are welcome Anko-chan'' Naruto mumbled and again they lost to the night and fall asleep in each other's embrace.

A/N: well that's it for now. Read, review and have fun.

Well it's been a while since I updated this fic and I am sorry for it. And since it's been so long I thought to answer some questions here in the end of the chapter.

Okay, one thing I don't like is when Naruto, in first chapter is a weak human and in second chapter he is god like. I don't have any problem with him becoming god like but only after a proper process.

And why Minato hate Naruto, he doesn't hate Naruto, he treats him like he doesn't exist which is a result of him not wanting a second child even though the child was a son. I will explain it more in next chapter.

Kiriha's hate towards Naruto is a part of Minato's plan and her wish. She initially loved Naruto as any sister would but if you must know, it's a real life fact that, when you are older you have all the attention of your parents but when a younger sibling comes in the family, there arises a jealousy between the two siblings because that love and attention of parents is now divided and obviously when parents used to give all their time to you now they will give it to two Childs.

That's what happened with Kiriha and later her jealousy turned into hate. Well this is what I think, I know every parent loves their children equally but sometimes it happens that one child starts to feel insecure in the family.

And why Naruto still loves his mother, well, can you hate your mother even though she is busy. There can be hostility, a part of you will hate her but you can never completely hate your mother and if she begs you on her knees then I don't think anyone would be able to hold a grudge against their mother.

I know there are some cases where some mother goes very low, even to the point of killing their child but that's rare. I don't know what you think but this is what I think.

And if you think Kushina should have killed or beaten Minato then you need to think again, what you will do when the person you love from your soul turns out to be a scumbag.

And my grammar, I know it's bad or maybe real bad but I hope this chapter has fewer mistakes than first.

And lastly about it being an Uzumaki-cest or harem. Well I think you must have known that I don't like harem, so that's not going to happen.

Second, Uzumaki-cest, well...I don't intend to make it one but if get enough pressure then I might change my mind but that is only a possibility because there is several people who don't like this 'cest' and they are here because in summary I had said I won't make it a incest. So it is all a possibility.

So that's all and again thanks for reading. And if you have any questions feel free to ask in your reviews and PM. I will try to answer them all.
