Chapter 14: Conflict...

Normal Pov.

The anger was just hidden beneath the indifference, it had been the best choice he could have chosen. Naruto and his team knew that. Disrespecting the Hokage in front of his subordinates was something that could possibly land all three of them in jail to be interrogated, not exactly the ideal thing to happen to them. Which is why, when Naruto settled on being indifferent, the other two relaxed.

The initial greetings being ignored, Minato quickly performed the Hokage's role and got a verbal report from team seven and ordered a written one too before he asked for Naruto to report on his mission he was assigned by another kage, technically it wasn't against the rules to do that because they weren't really apart of the hidden mist, unless of course the information was too sensitive.

"The mission we were assigned to was to bring Zabuza Momochi home. It was a favour asked for us to do by the Mizukage, Mei Terumi. I decided to step in just as Zabuza was going to strike Kakashi Hatake down. I managed to disarm him on my own with taijutsu only. I did so easily because he was in the middle of a victory high. I kept the sword as insurance to make them listen to me later. A fake hunter nin, which turned out to be his apprentice, showed up and took him away after putting him in a death like state with senbon. My team and I proceeded to help out team 7 once Sakura Haruno recognized me. I ordered my teammate, Akari Uzumaki to heal Kakashi and his team, while my other teammate Kurosuke went spying for me on Gato and Zabuza. Kurosuke managed to arrange a meeting for me with Zabuza. A few days later we met up and his apprentice and him fought me, I won and they agreed to go back. I made a blood clone that took them back. Yesterday my clone dismissed itself and I got it's memories of our success." Naruto explained looking at Minato with emotionless eyes. Whether or not the Kage was taken by surprise from the information, he didn't show it. Akari and Kurosuke went into more detail about their duties on the mission and after a few more words, Minato dismissed team 7 along with Kakashi who at first wanted to stay, but followed his Kage's orders. The grey haired man could only wonder what was going to happen before he shut the doors behind him.

"Naruto, as much as I am glad to see you and overwhelmed with many emotions, there must be a reason you have come back. No person runs away from their own village and disappears for years just to come back to that same village for no reason... So I want to know by you, my son, what is your reasons for running away and for what have you returned?" Minato asked in his Hokage voice, he was forcefully pushing away his fatherly feelings for his son, because being a Hokage was his duty and he had to first find out if his son and the two others would be a danger to his beloved village.

"Hokage-sama, I will be honest and say I too, am overwhelmed, but not by the same emotions you have. Yes there is a reason that I have come back and it's not to harm anyone in anyway. My reasons for leaving will eventually come to light, but for now I have no reason to explain it. My team and I, have train in every village and every country so far, we have many stamps of approval and signatures from different Kage's, village leaders and damayo's. The only village we haven't training in is Konoha, we believe we can learn something here, especially my teammate, Akari who has been working on a medical break through." Naruto explained coldly, his voice was smooth and kept in the same tone until the last part when he indirectly praised his female friend, who just blushed lightly and smiled in response.

Minato took the large scroll that seemed to appear from nowhere and read diligently through the signatures and approval stamps. To say he was shocked was an understatement, he had never expected this from his son who supposedly could never used chakra correctly again after what happened. Silently he call for his most trusted Anbu to get him two Uchiha's with the sharpest eyes to inspect the scroll for any foul play. Coincidentally they ended up bringing Itachi and Shisui, who although were shocked and surprised at the appearance of Naruto, could sense the tension and just did the job that they were called in for.

"Hokage-sama, there is no foul play here. None of the signatures are forged and every approval stamp has the chakra residue from the correct people. This is a legitimate scroll of approval from all across the elemental nations, for the three of them to train for an unlimited amount of time under conditions and restrictions they made themselves." Itachi stated curtly, gesturing to the outrageous conditions they put on themselves in order to train in every nation.

"I see, and you Shisui? Is anyone of them lying or hiding something?" Minato queried. Shisui shook his head after scanning their chakra network and brain frequencies. Minato looked over the scroll again before stamping it and handing the scroll back to Naruto, took the scroll and made it disappear with a touch over the seal arrays that kept the scroll closed, seal arrays that Minato just noticed as he handed the scroll back with his own approval stamp. "You will have to go through some screening before you are allowed to train properly." The blond kage stated looking at them sternly.

"We agree. We are however looking for someone or rather something and we were wondering if you can help us." Akari said stepping up for the first time and speaking to the Hokage, sitting behind his desk. Minato arched a brow and gestured for her to continue, while glancing at his son every few minutes. "We looking for a purple stone or rock, that glows and looks like a meteor, we each have a piece of it but we need to bring the person we looking for out with it, she is our sensei. Mito Uzumaki Senju." Akari explained, showing the man the piece of rock she had hanging around her neck.

"That's not possible, Mito from the Uzumaki clan has been dead for the past few decades. We do however have what you are looking for, our research team has been trying to break that particular rock since before my son left. I am hesitant to allow this but I am curious to see if your story pans out, so I will escort you there once I have spoken to Naruto, alone, and after you are all done with your screening this afternoon. We will also make living arrangements." Minato ended off before having Itachi and Shisui take Akari and Kurosuke to go do their screening.

Minato watched his son who seemed to be looking right through him with no emotion, as cold as a block of ice. He had no clue what to say or how to say it. He decided to just start off slowly, he didn't want to frighten is son, seeing as how cold he turned the minute they looked at each other. He wanted to make amends and become a complete family once more, he just hoped his son wanted the same or would let him try.

"Naruto, how have you been?" He asked softly and slowly. Naruto stared at the man in front of him. Many things were going through his head but not one of them were related to wanting a relationship with his family. He knew he had some kind of love for them, no one was that heartless, but he also knew that they had their chances to change, to care and to love him, but they didn't so now he knew he would never love them how they wanted him to. It was only apathy left, the only thing really tying them together was blood. He would begrudgingly admit to having a bit of respect for the man's power and intelligence. Every good ninja would respect their enemies if said enemies had both power and intelligence to back them up. However respecting the man family wise was a no go, especially since there was no reason to respect him in that way in the first place.

"I'm fine." Naruto replied bluntly. Once he was done doing everything he needed to do in this village, he had no intention of staying, therefore they only way he knew he could get what he wanted and needed from the village was to cooperate with the Namikaze's and the rest of the village by default. Being the brat he wanted to be and throw a fit would not help him or his dreams. Thus he would be the bigger man here and restrain from throwing a fit.

"I see. You hate us don't you?" Minato questioned while smiling sadly towards his only son. After the difficult and hard birth of Natsumi, Kushina was told she could not have anymore children, due to the fact that she had damaged her womb in the birth process. Thus, leaving them with three girls and one son who ran away from them.

"I do, in a way." Naruto confirmed coolly. In the young boy's mind it was clearly pointless to lie about feelings here, pointless and stupid. Minato was slightly surprised that his son confirmed this without a second thought. It made the man proud to know his son was strong even though everything that had happened in the past and everything that happened while he wasn't around. It also made him sad that he hated his birth family.

"Naruto, I am so so-" Minato was cut off by the door slamming open and and a flash of red slamming into the boy he was just talking to, the room that had at a level temperature after the initial greeting, dropped more then several degrees and for a moment Minato almost feared Kushina was in danger for some reason. Mikoto, Tsunade, Shizune, Anko, Narika, Nanami and the two youngest girls, Natsumi and Sayuki walked in just as Naruto started speaking.

"Hokage-sama, will you please tell your wife to get herself off me...now please." Naruto said distastefully with an expressionless face. Kushina had him wrapped up in her arms crying out in happiness to see her son again after six years. Mikoto and the others with the exception of Narika, Nanami, Natsumi and Sayuki, were not at all shocked at how he acted to his family.

"Naruto what are you saying?" Kushina stuttered out in shock at his response. Her eyes were slightly red from tears of joy she had just cried, she looked at him with confused purple eyes and looked back at Minato who was also shocked. Naruto, seeing as no one was telling her to let him go, removed her arms from his body on his own before taking a few steps away, creating a fairly large gap between them.

"You're not my mother and you're not my father. You cannot touch me without my permission, it is a violation of my privacy, so I'm going to be polite and ask that you never do that again Namikaze-sama. I am willing to cooperate with the village due to our training and not wanting to cause trouble, but other than that please do not expect anything else." Naruto said emotionlessly while stressing a few words in his little speech to emphasis the mess he was sending to them. Minato could only nod in surprise, seeing as he had never expected this.

"Naruto-kun, how long are you going to stay then? And where would you be staying?" Mikoto questioned, finally finding a chance to speak. The dark woman's heart hammered in her chest as she held back tears of her own, knowing now was not the time to show her own affection to the boy she considers her son. Tsunade and Shizune who had been surprisingly quiet all the time, also wanted to know the answers to that questions.

"Ah, Mikoto-kaa-chan, Tsunade-kaa-chan and Shizune-nee-chan. I don't know how long, that all depends on the team, sensei and how I feel but at most a few months or a year. As for living arrangements, after I get screened I don't doubt that we would have to live with a ninja clan head to make sure we kept in check." Naruto answered smoothly in a much lighter tone than he used concerning Minato and Kushina, he also completely ignored all others in the room, only taking note of the two youngest ones in the room for a second before focusing on one of the three woman in his life that he considered as his mother.

"Yes, let's get that screening sorted out quickly then." Minato said quickly, seeing as how Kushina's mood started seriously deteriorating. He motioned to an Anbu to take him to the screening and once Naruto was out of the room, Minato was immediately by his wife's side along with their children with the exception of their youngest who had been stock still the entire time with her eyes open wide. At first Minato thought it was fear but then a large grin spread across her small face and her eyes started sparkling.

"That Prince was my onii-san!" Natsumi exclaimed in excitement, she couldn't help but forget all about her mother for a moment and focus solely on his aura and how much better he looked in person compared to her dreams. Mikoto, Tsunade and Shizune all silently agreed that he did indeed have a princely aura about him, to them anyway...

~After the screening~

"Hey shrimp! You done with your screening? I got this seriously sexy chick with purple hair, but she was a little crazy. I think her name was Anko or something. I'm surprised the screening here is so short though. Kumo's took us three days! Stringy bastards I tell you, seriously though Konoha is super relaxed." Kurosuke explained to his friends as they walked to the research area in the hospital. Naruto rolled his eyes, it was never a dull moment with Kurosuke and he was kind of glad about that.

"Yeah, I'm done. I had this guy Inochi, he was a blonde from the Yamanaka clan, you know the mind reader's? I'm not surprised at all though, about how short the screening is here. Just for your information though, Kumo has serious high grade security, especially because of B, crazy guy and I don't have a clue why he likes me." Naruto grumbled, he was less cold and emotionless at the moment mainly because the Namikaze's were no where to be seen and he was glad because of that, on the up side though, their escorts were Itachi and Shisui.

"Naruto-kun, you sure have grown, I was surprised with you suddenly showing up here. Everyone thought you had died, many things changed after you left too." Itachi commented off to the side as he and Shisui walked behind their charges. He was really happy that the boy was very much alive and well, however, knowing that he was a totally different person in front of his biological family was a bit unsettling.

"Hah! Naru-Naru, 'Tachi-chan is actually trying to say that he is so happy that you back, even though for a short while, but I mean you back! It's a celebration in itself! I know I'm really glad to see you again and I'll be damned if we don't wanna hear what you've been up to, I sure do! So how about some story telling?" Shisui said in a very excited tone for one as old as himself. Naruto was glad that the people he cared about never changed much towards him even after all these years, however, 'Shisui you asshole! Stop calling me by that silly nickname!' Naruto couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

"Don't worry about that my experiences will be told eventually, just not now. Are we allowed to touch the glow stone? I need to touch it in order to bring Mito-sensei back." Naruto said in a flat tone, he had no intention of sharing his life stories with people who he hadn't seen in years, whether or not they are some of his most precious people. Some stories are more secretive then others and some was just too embarrassing to tell at all. "By the way Akari, you've been too quiet, who did you get for your screening?" Naruto asked looking curiously at his friend, who in turn blinked a few times as if waking up from a dream.

"I had this guy, his name was Ibiki Morino... I think Mito-sensei will like him." The red head hummed quietly while Shisui winced. Naruto put on a thoughtful look and nodded slowly, they were walk through the halls of the underground level where they kept the stone. Once they finally entered the research room after going down a few different hallways, they came face to face with a huge stone/rock that looked like a meteor.

Itachi went over to one of the researchers and explained the situation slightly to them and they nodded understandingly. When Itachi came back he gave Naruto the go ahead to look and touch the glowing rock. Naruto walked around the rock inspecting it first before motioning to the other two on where to stand by the rock. Once they were in the position he wanted them in, they each pulled out a small rock that they had tied onto a string around their necks. As if they were one being and not three separate people, they inserted their tiny rock into the gigantic rock at the same time.

A bright white light engulf the entire room, blinding the people in the room. When the light faded they were shocked to see a tall, beautiful young woman with ankle length red hair and light purple eyes. Before them stood Mito Uzumaki Senju, the first Kage's wife and the first person to seal a tail beast.

Light purple eyes ran over the rooms occupants, briefly assessing the situation. The woman's lips formed an amused smile, even ignoring the fact that she was currently naked. The looks on these peoples faces were too amusing to not want to laugh at, after all, it's not everyday you get to see someone who is a legend and supposed to be dead, alive and younger than before. She'd have to thank her apprentices for this entertainment. Just as she was thinking this her body gave out under her and strong arms caught her, belonging to Naruto.

"Ah, Naruto...it took you long enough...thank you..." She managed to mumble out before she passed out in his arms. Naruto lifted the woman up in a bridal style, doing his best to shield her nakedness from the people watching in shock. Akari suddenly appeared next to him, throwing a white sheet over their teacher, while Kurosuke lifted the woman's hair up and placed it over the sheet on her body.

"Where can I find an empty room?" Naruto asked the nearest person politely, glancing around. Itachi and Shisui snapped out of their shock quickly and escorted them back upstairs and into the nearest empty room they found, before Shisui went to notify the nurses and the Hokage about what just happened.

No one seemed to have noticed that one of the researchers had disappeared once they left the research room in the base level...

Hokage tower...

"Repeat that for me again?" Minato asked the teens in front of him for the fifth time. Apparently, Mito Uzumaki Senju was indeed alive. She had used a jutsu to keep her soul in a realm for the Uzumaki clan only and preserved her body, locking it away using another jutsu to slowly make herself younger again. Minato Namikaze was gobsmacked, as the icing on the cake, the woman had been teaching his son to become the next Uzumaki clan head. The Kage massaged his temples.

"Hokage-sama, we have been repeating ourselves. What we have told you is the truth and you may confirm this with Mito-sensei once she wakes up tomorrow. If you don't mind me asking, we would like to know what our living arrangements are going to be from now on." Akari stated, she had been the one to explain for the past five times he asked them to repeat the story again. The red haired girl was tired and slightly annoyed at the Kage before her. Naruto had been done for the day with handling the Namikaze family, anymore and he might reconsider cooperating with them.

"I see, we will have to continue this tomorrow then, it is getting quite late. As for the living arrangements, we have had a council meeting on that and it has been decided that you and your team live with my family and I while you are training in our village. This decision was made by the honourable elders." After saying this Minato winced as he felt the room temperature plumit. The two Uchiha's kept their faces blank even though they thought it was a bad move on their councils part. The Anbu stood ready to move at a moment's notice.

"I see..." That was all Naruto said before the room temperature turned normal again. Endurance was one of the first things life and Mito-sensei taught the three of them. Naruto would endure. He had patience and support. Years go fast and it would be no different. Just because he had to live in the same house didn't mean he had to see their faces everyday or every minute.

"Alright then...would the two of you escort our guests to my home please." The blonde man asked the Uchiha cousins and they nodded in agreement. The three temporary members of the village were quickly escorted out his office and to his home where Kushina had tearfully already arranged their rooms for them...

As Naruto and co were about to be taken to the Namikaze home, they were suddenly cornered just as they walked out the Hokage tower, by Tsunade and Shizune. Both woman wore slightly concerned and curious looks. Tsunade stepped forward and wrapped Naruto in her arms, a few tears slid down her face. Naruto smiled slightly while his face was being squashed between her boobs. He wrapped his arms slowly around her waist and hugged her back.

"Naruto I missed you! So, so much! We thought you might of died, I thought I would never see you again! You fool, we all missed you so much! We were devastated when you ran away. I'm so sorry Naruto, I should of been there for you more..." Tsunade whispered softly to him and slowly pulled herself back, wiping away her tears, she looked him over. "You've grown up so much, your a big boy now huh?" She mumbled and smiled. Shizune stood back watching with a soft smile and the others just watched silently happy.

"Yeah? I have, haven't I? I'll have to tell you a story or two that you'd find interesting. We brought Mito-sensei back. She's alive now, you've probably heard about that from the hospital already..." Naruto spoke, telling her the details while she and Shizune listened to him and they all walked towards the Namikaze estate. Once they were at the entrance of the compound Tsunade and Shizune had to say goodbye because they were called back to the hospital.

"Sorry Naruto-kun, I guess we'll have to catch up at a later date then... I'm really glad you here right now and alive, even if you won't stay here..." Shizune said smiling sadly at the boy she thought of as a brother. He in turn hugged her and Tsunade in response and waved farewell to them for the time being. Turning towards his escorts he frowned.

"The two of you have been too silent, why?" Naruto asked suspiciously, he felt like he had to be a little more open when he could, especially while the people who abandoned him were no where in sight. Shisui grinned in response looping his arm over Naruto's shoulder as they continued to walk slowly into the compound. Naruto narrowed his eyes.

"Weelllll...I was wondering..." The curly haired boy's grin stretched wider. "...have you been through puberty yet brat?" The Uchiha had to duck from the punch that was thrown his way, he laughed at the multi coloured haired boy's face. Naruto's face was priceless in Shisui's opinion. Itachi sighed and Kurosuke and Akari looked amused. Once they were on the door step Itachi knocked and Kushina opened it up quickly and welcomed them in but the two Uchiha's excused themselves.

"Sorry Kushina-san, we have to report back to Hokage-sama and then my mother wants us to go shopping for her. Sorry, maybe another time." Itachi said excusing himself and Shisui who waved goodbye before they both disappeared in a Shunshin, leaving Naruto, Akari and Kurosuke standing in the doorway of the Namikaze home. Kushina hesitantly let them in.

"Right, Naruto-kun your room is the same as when you left, it's clean and you can stay there while Akari and Kurosuke will be in the two guest rooms down the hall. I, uh the third guest room is being used by Natsumi as her room, so that's why you can't use it Naruto in case you wanted to or...yeah..." Kushina rambled on once she saw Naruto's blank face and she kept glancing at him. Akari looked uncomfortable and out of place while Kurosuke just kept quiet and followed the woman and took note of where everything was.

"Natsumi?" Naruto questioned coolly. He hadn't heard of a Natsumi, weren't the two girls, Narika and Nanami? Was Natsumi a guest? Naruto was curious, well he was always curious, he was like a sponge that sucked up information and used that information for his benefit. He also didn't like to not know something when it was blatantly obvious.

"Oh... Natsumi is your younger sister..." The older red haired murmured quietly looking at him for a reaction of some sort, however she did not get a reaction, or rather it didn't show on his face. He still kept his blank poker face on. Akari looked curious, since she hadn't heard of a third sister either nor did Kurosuke who looked torn between laughing at his friend's misfortune or cowering at his friend's lack of emotion.

"I see..." Naruto muttered carefully. "I think I'll go settle myself in and take a nap. Akari come wake me for supper." He continued excusing himself before heading to his old room. Once the door closed Kurosuke let out an awkward chuckle excusing himself as well to one of the guest rooms after giving Akari a glance.

"So Namikaze-sama, let's talk about seals..."

With Naruto...

The violet eyed boy pressed his back against the door of the room and ran a hand through his multi coloured hair. He let out a sigh and glanced around the room. It was in the exact same state as it had been before he left. The place was cleaned, not a pinch of dust on anything. Clearly these people were hoping that he would come back to them or something.

Naruto sealed everything that was in the room up in a big scroll and put it in the cupboard. The scroll had appeared from another smaller scroll and he pull another big scroll out and unsealed his traveling bedroom. The double bed, his desk, chair, bed side tables, lamps, photos and all was neatly set up. He quickly undressed and collapsed on the blood red bedding, his breath becoming even as he fell asleep half naked on the bed.

Hours later Akari appeared in the room and made her way to the bed to wake up her team leader and best friend. She smiled letting her guard down for a bit and just looked at how tired he was. After a minute she decided to wake him up, she shook him and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Naruto-kun...supper is ready now." She murmured softly and he slowly sat up but winced as if he was in pain for some reason and Akari was right by his side in a split second to help him as he tried to stand up. Her eyes looked at him in concern and let her chakra examine him while he let out a sigh and shook his head gently.

"Akari stop, it's just a slight strain from the past few days, just pulled mussel that's all." He explained giving her a warm smile trying to ease her concerns and failing when he saw the look she had in her eyes.

"Naruto-kun, I know the old wounds still have an affect on you so don't lie to me, that war...they hurt you so badly but you kept on fighting, I know they never healed completely, you need rest and lots of it." Akari said frowning while thinking back to how many times Naruto had been... interrogated...

"Akari it had to be done, we saved so many lives and we can't rest, at least not yet, I have the strangest feeling that war is on it's way and we have to be prepared for anything and everything that it will undoubtedly throw our way. I do not wish to be caught off guard, not when we are this close to finding all the weapons and reviving Uzushio." Naruto told her before shaking himself right and standing on his own, any pain and emotion he had displayed were wiped clear and he wore a neutral mask.

Akari decided to stay silent as she followed him out the room after he put his clothes back on and to the dinning room where everyone else was seated and waiting for them before they could start eating. Approaching the table, the two friends sat down at the empty seats that were provided for them with quiet greetings towards their hosts. Minato sat at the head of the table, Kushina sat to his right and the youngest sat on her mother's right while the other two girls sat on their father's left. Naruto sat at the end of the table and Akari sat on his right while Kurosuke sat on his left. They started eating once Minato took the first bite.

"So... Naruto, why don't you tell us about some of your... adventures?" Minato asked hoping to get to know his wayward son as much as he can without the boy shutting him out, it was one thing to have daughters but a father always wanted a son to connect with on another level. Naruto paused in eating and so did everyone else waiting to see or hear what the purple eyed boy would say or do.

"We fought in the bloodline wars in Kirigakure and helped the rebels take back their home, we also helped them rebuild." Naruto said evenly after deciding that was one of the safer topics to talk about seeing as it was going to come out one way or the other, sooner or later. He decided it might as well come out on his own terms and not anyone else who sort to do whatever they sort to do.

Minato looked shocked as did Kushina but unlike Kushina, Minato took it in stride while she was struggling with saying something motherly and not saying anything at all. Minato knew that the three guests he now housed had some kind of connection to the new Mizukage for her to request something from them and not order them around as part of her military force.

"So what's your connection to the Mizukage?" The eldest blonde at the table asked curiously. Akari and Kurosuke hid their smiles knowing the reaction that would no doubt follow what was going to be said next if their friend decided to indulge the kage with the situation between the Mizukage and him. Naruto calmly took a sip of water from his glass before putting it back down on the table next to his plate.

"She's my girlfriend." Naruto stated bluntly. Minato nearly choked on his food that he had been chewing while his two eldest daughters did the same and the youngest looked confused, Kushina however let out a strangled sound that sounded almost as if a cat was dying. Naruto's friends however kept their faces clear of their mirth and Naruto raised an eyebrow at the family's reaction, he shouldn't be surprised, really, it was hardly the first time someone reacted badly or otherwise to this information.

"Wha...what!? Isn't she in her late twenties or something?" Narika asked being the first to overcome her shock and ignored the atmosphere that tensed ever so slightly with her talking to him for the first time since seeing him alive and well. Naruto narrowed his eyes at the girl that was supposedly his sister.

"Mei is twenty-one and a beautiful and powerful woman. I am twelve, almost thirteen, and a ninja, old enough to kill, old enough to have a relationship with anyone of any age, she's just eight years older than I am. I have no reason to stick to anything classed as a social standard. Those things do not help out in a battle for your life or the lives of those you care about." Naruto told them, stating facts. He was not defending himself as it would seem, he just wanted to shut them up before they ruined his already flaky mood.

The Namikaze's held their tongues seeing that further talk about that situation would not help them with getting to know the lost Namikaze heir, not that he classed himself as lost he had been justified by running away from this place but whatever. Kushina decided to force her raging emotions to stop and instead converse with the green eyed girl that looked like she came as a packaged deal with Naruto and Kurosuke. The rest of the dinner went on like this with the occasional question or two directed at the three, mainly Naruto.

Once supper was over Naruto excused himself and made his way back to his room but was halted by the little foot steps that padded after him. When he reached the hallway he called the girl out by turning around and giving her a pointed stare as if asking what she wanted from him that she followed him all the way back to his room without anyone else noticing.

"You're my onii-san, I know. Can...can I...can I maybe...uh...hug...you?" She asked with wide innocent eyes, waiting for him to say or do something. Naruto stared at her for a short while battling himself, on one hand this was his sister that hadn't been born or a part of the family that hurt him when he was younger and possibly didn't know why he ran away, she was innocent and probably just wanted to get to know her brother, but on the other hand...she was part of the Namikaze family now and well that was enough of a reason to be cautious and hesitate to allow anything to this person. Naruto frowned as he watched the girl fidget with her fingers and her head slightly bent with her hair covering her face and her eyes looking at him in a quiet request for an answer through her hair.

"Sorry I'm tired right now, maybe tomorrow?" He said slightly questioningly and her face fell in disappointment but it was quickly replaced by a too large grin that slightly hurt to look at and a quick nod before she excused herself and went to her own room further down the hallway, leaving Naruto standing alone and conflicted before he also went to his room and wondered what to do now and what category to place his "little sister" in; the I don't give a damn about you pile or the I will give you a chance pile. That is how our "hero" ended up falling asleep, with thoughts of what to do on his mind...

End!

A/N: Right so guys the winner of last chapter's A, B, C or D question is The Sith'ari who's answer was B and C: Naruto acts cold but cooperates. The chosen pairing is Naruto X Shion, just cute and fluffy and it is connected to this story. The time of this event is a few months before they go to the leaf.

Omake:

~Flashback~

"Naruto a priestess from demon country has been kidnapped and held ransom, she is very valuable to the country and a request as been given to us for me to send out a team and retrieve this young girl. Her name is Shion and she's your age, apparently she is very shy and likes to isolate herself from others due to her bloodline or something like that. I'm giving this mission to you and your team because of its delicate situation and if done correctly it can get us possible trading rights to and from demon country. You will get more details when you get there." Mei explained to the blond and his companions, watching them with a serious expression.

"We understand, when do we leave?" Naruto asked his friend and first girlfriend, who in turn relaxed and smiled at him in relief for accepting the mission immediately.

"Now." She said and he nodded and turned to leave with Akari and Kurosuke by his side's when she called out to him again. "And Naruto, come back safely." He sent her a smile and left with his team.

~Flashback end~

That was two weeks ago, Naruto looked down at the girl who curled up on his lap and let out a soft sigh. After rescuing her he found out that she saw him die by the hands of her kidnappers and when he didn't she was shocked and confused, explaining to him that she could see everyone's deaths if they got too close to her and that they always ended up dying.

"Naruto-kun?" Shion called softly looking up at him shyly, and dare he say cutely?

"Yeah?" He questioned looking down at her curiously, wondering what she wanted and if she was going to vacate his lap any time soon.

"Will you come see me again after you leave?" She asked while her expression turned guarded and she frowned slightly.

"Mhmm, I don't know but I'll try..." He said feeling himself soften up since she reminded him of himself when he was still living back in the leaf village.

"Oh...I...I guess I'll miss you then. I mean I... never mind." She mumbled turning away and playing with her long kimono sleeves. Naruto stared at her before smiling and shaking his head before making a note to tell his team that when they started to travel again to look for the Uzumaki legacy, that they had to come visit the blond haired priestess...

End!
