I Do Not Own Naruto!

Naruto of the Otsutsuki Clan

My First Story.

Naruto x Tsubaki Uzumaki/Namikaze pairing.

Story Start.

The morning sun rose, the winds blew across the grassy plains. The birds chirped their songs up above, in their trees and across the skies. The clouds floated above and under the clear blue skies and the lakes shined, like crystals.

A family, of three.

A father, mother and a daughter.

All walked down the cobblestone pathway that was surrounded by the soft grass. The father, was obviously smiling down at his daughter, as was the mother. Who wouldn't? She was like their very own personal sun. Full of energy just like her mother as she was just as beautiful. With red threads that fell down to her lower back, and framed her smiling face. A small light blue hair clip pushed her fringe towards the side so that her large, bright blue eyes were shining.

She wore an expensive-looking white kimono with red trimmings and was also red on the inside that matched her hair.

"Daddy..." The little girl mumbled with a shy blush on her face as she snuggled into her father's light blue kimono.

"Yes, princesses?" Minato Namikaze hummed as he held his daughter's hand.

"W..What if the other kids don't like me?" Tsubaki asked, her large, adorable eyes looking into her father's.

"What are you saying? Of course they will love you!" Kushina chirped as she wrapped her arms around her little baby's body. Tsubaki flushed in embarrassment and snuggled into her mother's chest and spoke.

"Yeah but...-"

"No buts! You've been waiting for this day for weeks!"

"It will be fine" Minato reassured as he placed a kiss on her head as the small girl nodded.

"M'kay..."

Soon enough they saw a clearing and smiled. There were large green forest's surrounding the area with humus lying thick on the ground. Boulders covered in moss and puddles of water lay nearby, however Tsubaki didn't pay attention to any of the surrounding nature, just what was in the middle.

A very large playground with dozens of kids, running, laughing, having fun. Adjacent to the large playground was multiple wooden benches and tables which were occupied by adults the same age as Minato and Kushina was.

The family walked up to them and were greeted with respectful nods and bows.

"Hokage-sama" They chorused

"Maa Maa, just call me Minato, i'm off duty today." Winked Minato cheekily as the took a seat.

"My, my, who's this?" A teasing voice came from behind. Behind them they saw the main family of the Uchiha clan. Fugaku Uchiha and Mikoto Uchiha with their sons, Sasuke and Itachi.

"Mikoto~!" Kushina squealed as they both wrapped their arms around each other.

"It's been forever!" Mikoto grinned as the two fathers sighed.

Women... They both thought as they began to gossip.

"So this is Tsubaki-chan huh?" Mikoto grinned as she bent low and pinched the little girl's cheeks, which she puffed out adorably. Not a moment later the two adults squealed happily and wrapped her in a hug.

"A-Ano, who are you?" Tsubaki managed to wheeze out from her hug.

"You can call me... Mikoto-Obasan! I was in your Kaa-chan''s genin team." She said as Tsubaki nodded dumbly at the rush of information.

"So Kaa-chan's team mate?" Tsubaki thought with her head tilted.

"So you're a k-k..." She fumbled with the word.

"Kunoichi" Minato supplied as Tsubaki nodded rapidly.

"Yeah, that." Tsubaki spoke cheekily. Mikoto let out a giggle at that and nodded.

"Yeah, i'm was a kunoichi, but I retired." She told her with a tint of sadness in her voice.

"Huh? Why did you retire?" Tsubaki asked as she sighed.

"I had to look after my family, otherwise, no one else would." Mikoto said as Tsubaki finally realized Sasuke and Itachi had been standing behind her patiently both sporting a embarrassed and irritated look.

"Kaa-chan" Sasuke whined as Fugaku sighed.

"C'mon Sasuke." Fugaku leaded him towards the playground with Itachi following behind.

"So you had to quit being a kunoichi to look after your family?" Tsubaki asked, looking rather disgusted at the thought of it.

"Erm... I guess?" Mikoto shrugged.

"Then there's no way i'm having any children!" Tsubaki spat out as the crowd around her bursted out into hysterical laughter. Minato then walked up towards Tsubaki and placed a hand on her shoulder which made her look at her father curiously.

"Why don't you go and play with the others?" Minato told her with a smile as she nodded and slowly walked towards the group on the playground. She saw her father already turning back towards the group and she gulped nervously.

Sweat trickled down the side of her face as she saw the giant play ground ahead of her, kids were laughing and playing with each other, however they all looked much bigger than her. She suddenly felt self conscious about herself, what if they made fun of her hair? O-Or her eyes? Maybe they won't let her play with them...

She shuddered and ran off before she could embarrass herself. She didn't know where, or what direction she was in, but all she knew was it was isolate, somewhere she wanted to be. However as she took a seat against the grass, a firm hand grabbed her ankle.

"Kyaa!" She squeaked loudly and jumped into the air, flapping her arms like a bird with a panicked expression on her face. Until she realized she wasn't a bird, she fell to the ground and backed away from the person who grabbed her ankle cautiously with her arms out in front.

There she saw a man, no, boy, her age. A 6 year old blonde boy who had a striking resemblance to her father, Minato Namikaze. His eyes were closed and his blonde locks fell down his face, past his eyebrows and to the lower part of the nape of his neck. However she could see the differences from him and her dad. Firstly his hair seemed darker, almost like gold or a dark, rare shade of blonde unlike her father's bright, shaggy blonde.

There seemed to be small, faint streaks of black hair under the blonde moss and his skin tone was more pale unlike her father's tanned skin. His face was certainly handsome, unlike other children her age, they had cute faces or something similar however his face seemed to be, well, handsome. While angular and narrow, his face still had a slightly round shape around his chin and lightly puffed cheeks, however those childlike features would be insignificant in a couple of years.

He wore a black kimono with white/grey trimmings, she couldn't see any clan symbol anywhere on his outfit, mainly because his backside was on the ground. His kimono was tied loosely as parts of his chest had been revealed. Under his kimono, he wore black, ninja-like pants that ended tightly around his shins and had a pair of wooden sandals, much like to her godfather's pairs, Jiraiya.

However what made her gasp was when one of his eyelids creaked open and his eyebrows fluttered subconsciously.

There she saw the most beautiful, blue eyes, in the entire world. Her mouth dried of any moisture as she saw his gaze upon her. Her heart thumped a million knots where she was afraid it might jump out of her chest and into his hands. However that was until she saw that he was in fact glaring at her. Even when he was glaring, he still looked beautiful.

"A-Ano, s-sorry." Tsubaki squeaked out as he frowned. Kami.

"What for?" The boy asked, his voice was soft, but strung like a perfectly played melody.

Tsubaki was silent for a while, with a pink hue across her cheeks and nose. She saw the boy's expectant gaze until it stopped and a sigh breathed from his mouth.

"You don't know why you're apologizing?" The boy mused as the girl looked away, embarrassed. It was silent for a while, she enjoyed the peace that was around, the boy sat, or laid upon a slope that led down to a crystal river above the never ending stream of rocks. Small fish swam by the rocks with their tails swishing, from side to side propelling them as they bathed in the water.

The boy beside her ended up breaking the silence.

"How come you're not playing with the others?" He spoke, his eyes closed, aimed upwards towards the sun.

"I-I..."

"-Don't know?" The boy cut/finished her off with an amused tone. Tsubaki sent a quick glare towards him however melted seeing the fond, amused smile upon his lips.

"No, not that" Tsubaki mumbled. "It's just, they look rather..."

"Intimidating?" He offered as she nodded.

"Yeah, that" She said cheekily as she let out a giggle. the unnamed boy too, laughed at her antics.

"What about you?" Tsubaki asked and the boy who raised a perfect eyebrow.

"What about me?" The boy asked back with another question and she puffed her cheeks out cutely.

"How come you're not playing with the others? I'm sure you'd fit in." The boy sighed and rubbed the back of his head, making his golden locks swish around.

"It's not about fitting in." He told her and she frowned. "I don't like... crowded places. I find it intimidating"

"You mean, you're scared of people?" She asked him incredulously.

The boy scoffed. "No, I just don't like people."

"Oh..." She murmured with a frown. THe boy then looked at her silence and furrowed his eyebrows. Did he offend her in someway?

"You're fine though." He reassured as she looked at him with widened eyes. "I mean, I don't mind you." He corrected himself with an embarrassed blush. She stifled a giggle as she saw his blush, he was so beautiful. It was then, she remembered she had forgotten all priority about manners.

"I'm Tsubaki, Tsubaki Uzumaki." She told him and he turned his head towards her and raised another amused eyebrow.

"Aren't you kinda late, hime-sama~?" He sung out amusedly as she flushed. For her new nickname and from embarrassment.

"S-Shut up! Dattebane!" She then basically made this face :O. Her face flushed to a new, deeper shade of red. Her jaw went slack as she realized she had subconsciously spoken her very, embarrassing nervous tick. One that she had thought she had gotten rid of. She nervously glanced towards his face and she saw a slightly shock, but mainly amused face.

"Dattebane?" He mused before he let out a melodic laugh. "How cute." He murmured making her flush seemingly purple.

"Just tell me your name!" She pouted angrily as he laughed and nodded.

"Naruto." He told her plainly.

"Fishcake?" She asked as he rolled his eyes.

"Maelstrom." He replied, slightly angry, but annoyed.

"Oh. Then what about your clan?" She asked and he frowned.

"What makes you think i'm from a clan?"

"Well, I-I just, assumed."

"Assumed that everyone you meet is from a clan?"

"Well, no, but everyone I have met was from a clan." She fondly remembering her only friend, Hinata. Then Sasuke and Itachi who walked by earlier. Naruto went silent for a while, then he just went silent and didn't talk.

"So... are you from a clan?" Tsubaki asked and he turned his head and looked at her. He then put a finger onto his lips then lightly flicked her on the nose.

"Secret." He winked as she pouted and rubbed her nose. Tsubaki's gaze then landed towards the group on the playground. A sad frown appeared on her face, making Naruto frown as well. She felt left out. She was meant to meet the other clan heirs today, the day before the academy, however she met Naruto.

"Do you want to go play with them?" Naruto asked her, as he stood up. She looked at him, rather shocked.

"What about you?"

"What about me?" He asked back cheekily and she rolled her eyes.

"Wouldn't you be, I don't know, lonely?" Tsubaki asked and Naruto rolled his eyes this time.

"I'm going with you, duh." Naruto flicked her on the forehead and walked towards the group, with Tsubaki looking shocked, until a large grin plastered her face and she followed behind.

The pair walked towards the group who was huddled up. The air was buzzing around them, seemingly excited about something. Tsubaki bit her lip nervously and shifted behind Naruto, however he wasn't having it. Naruto wrapped an arm around Tsubaki's waist and pulled her forward, smirking.

"Tch"

"Mhm" Naruto hummed. Once they were behind the group, they just stood there, Tsubaki was looking at Naruto expectantly however he just stood by her until he nudged someone who was in the circle. The boy who Naruto nudged looked back at him, he had messy brown hair with narrow eyes and vertical-slits as pupils. However the most distinct feature was the two large red tattoo's coming down his cheeks. He wore a grey fur lined jacket and brown pants and shinobi sandals.

"Yeah?" He asked with a rough voice. Naruto merely smiled and nudged Tsubaki who gaped at him.

"Go on." Naruto smirked as she blushed cherry.

"E-Ermm, c-could we j-join you g-guys?" She stammered as Naruto let out a silent chuckle.

"Of course" The boy grinned and dragged them towards the group.

"Hey everyone! This is- uh... What's your names again?" The boy chuckled and rubbed his head sheepishly.

"Naruto." Naruto said as he stepped forward, slightly protective of Tsubaki.

"Tsubaki, Tsubaki Uzumaki" She told them as she stood by Naruto. A collective ring of gasps was heard all around and Tsubaki felt nervous once again.

"Erm, Tsubaki Uzumaki, as in, the Hokage's daughter?" The brown haired boy asked as she nodded awkwardly, then again, another round of gasps were heard.

"You never told me you were famous" Naruto grinned at her who flushed furiously.

"Shut up..." She spoke quietly, so only he could hear. Naruto dragged one of his fingers from one side of his lip to the other, as if he was zipping up his lips, before throwing away the key. Her giggle was not contained.

"This is, Akamaru, Shino, Ino, Choji, Sakura, Shikamaru and Sasuke." He said pointing to everyone "And i'm Kiba" He finished off with a grin as the two nodded.

"Well, we're going to play Ninja and Robbers, you know how to play right?" The boy asked and she paused.

"Umm, yeah." She said nervously and they all nodded. Kiba pulled out multiple twigs in his hands and put it in the middle of their circle. Everyone picked one, some of them were longer than the others. Naruto nudged Tsubaki and pointed his head towards the direction of the stick and she quickly pulled one out. Naruto then drawled out his, both of theirs were rather long and thin, however Kiba ended up with the short straw, literally.

"Aww! C'mon!" He whined as Tsubaki gained a confused look.

"Fine, Fine, Ichi!, Ni!, San!, Yon!, Gou!-" Everyone ran off, hiding in bushes, behind trees, or behind construction, Tsubaki managed to see Naruto running behind some sort of wooden well, and she followed.

"Seriously?" Naruto asked as she looked at him questioningly.

"What? I don't know how to play!" She whispered a yell as Naruto sighed.

"You shouldn't lie" Naruto told her seriously as she flushed and looked away. "Alright, fine. The aim of this game is we're the robbers, and Kiba is the Ninja. It's his job to catch us, all of us. And if we do get caught, you sit in the circle, over there" He said pointing towards a circle formed by a stick. "However, someone can rescue the robber."

"Oh okay, that seems pretty simple, I'll find somewhere else" She told him, he however frowned and caught her arm.

"Too late." Naruto said as she quickly hid behind the well, right next to Naruto. She subconsciously sniffed and her blush went into an entirely new level. He smelt of soap and shampoo, mixed with grass and sweat. It was an amazing scent.

Oh yeah, he was also right, it was too late. "Ju kyu! Ni-ju! Ready or not! Here I come!" He declared as he sniffed around the bushes with Akamaru barking on his shoulders.

"Huh? Over there?" Kiba spoke to Akamaru who barked once again and they ran towards Naruto and Tsubaki's direction.

"Oh crap!" Squeaked Tsubaki who covered her mouth.

"Don't worry" Naruto grinned at her reassuringly, before he jumped up and ran, making noise and laughing.

"See!? There's one over there!" Kiba yelled and ran and caught Naruto as they both laughed. Naruto ended up sitting in the circle alone. Staring off into space.

"He sacrificed himself for me..." Tsubaki thought sadly before a determined look on her face appeared. "Then it's my job to help him!" Once she saw Kiba not looking she immediatly ran towards Naruto, who turned his head and looked at her, shocked.

"I'm here to save you!" She told him.

A few minutes later.

"You got caught..." Naruto spoke to her dully as she tilted her head lower and an anchor drop sound was heard in the background.

"Yeah..." She said embarrassedly.

"Thanks..."

"Yeah..."
