A mother loves her children with unconditional love. She vows to protect and guide her child as long as she takes a breath. It is known that a mother and son typically have a deeper bond than what a father and son would. While the mother teaches her son many aspects in life. A son develops a sense of protection of his mother. He wants nothing more than to make her proud of him and to protect her from any danger. A son will always lean onto his mother for advice than he would for his father.

Naruto Uzumaki was your typical 17 year old genin. He could've been a chunin or perhaps jounin by now. However he decided not to aim for any promotion once his mother Kushina Uzumaki retired from being a shinobi two years ago. She had retired when Naruto was born. For the first seven years of Naruto's life. Kushina was the stay at home parent while Minato, Naruto father fulfilled his duty as hokage. Once Naruto was old enough to take care of himself. Kushina resumed her duty as a shinobi.

During her time as a shinobi. Naruto's mother was known as the greatest anbu ever. She had the highest number of missions taken. Also the most missions ever completed by an anbu. All with a 100% success rate. Kushina was also known as the princess of whirlpool meaning she was of royal blood. Her nickname across the ninja world was the red hot blooded habanero or the red death.

While Minato was a legend of his own. Naruto looked up to his mother more. She was what he strived to be as a shinobi. His mother was strong. Stronger than the third hokage and all the sannin. On par with his father even while using the hiraishin.

Naruto saw his mother as a very beautiful woman in both soul, mind and physical body. He cherished the ground she walked on. All in all you could call Naruto a momma's boy. Even when he was younger, any chance he get he would always follow Kushina around. Never wanting to be separated from her.

While Naruto felt so strongly about his mother. His father was a different case. Minato and Kushina's marriage was not going so well. During Naruto's younger years, Minato wasn't around as much as he could've been. He stayed in the office almost 7 days a week. Barely coming home to spend time with his family. Missing a good amount of Naruto's birthdays or anything significant to either him or his mother. Naruto noticed his mother would cry herself to sleep during their anniversary. Because Minato had stood her up yet again. The couple also argued over Naruto. While Minato thought Naruto should spend some time away from Kushina to help him grow as a person. Kushina thought otherwise and said she would always be there for her son.

Even til this day, the couple still have many arguments. Naruto could tell that his mother was not happy. She would become happy if he was around. But other than that, he could tell her smiles are sometimes fake. It pissed Naruto off every time knowing that his father was the cause of his mother's pain.

Which is why Naruto strives to be a better man than his father could ever be. He trained himself to the ground for years. While he would still train with team 7. Secretly he would train himself. Kushina had offered to help Naruto train plenty of times. When he was 12 or younger, he would always take her help. But once he turned 13 he stopped getting training from her as to he wanted to become strong on his own. Minato also offered his training. Naruto decided to only learn the rasengan from his father. He copied the notes to the hiraishin without Minato knowing. Naruto was not too fond of his father. While he did love the man. He hated how he treated his mother.

Now you can find Naruto heading home after another C-rank with his team. Team 7 was fine for the most part. He was wary of Sasuke since he had a feeling that sooner or later Sasuke would go rogue. Due to Minato finding an alternative way to handle the Uchiha's. The Uchiha clan still survives today. However Fugaku and others who still wanted to take over the village were killed. Ever since then Sasuke acted more like his father. Itachi and Mikoto both tried to get him out of it. But Sasuke just wouldn't budge. Sakura and Naruto were close. As in brother/sister type of close. Naruto told Sakura anything that was going on with him. It was vice versa for Sakura as well. They were so close that Naruto even told Sakura about how strongly he felt for his mother.

At first Sakura was a bit weirded out. However she knew Naruto was weird in general. So it got over the weirdness of it all quickly. She supported Naruto in his feelings. Even gave him a few ideas on to how to make his mother happier than she is currently.

Kakashi was an older brother figure to Naruto. Kakashi also knew how Naruto felt about his father. While he couldn't blame the blond. He didn't want Naruto to develop hatred for his sensei.

Naruto arrived to his family home. The Uzumaki-Namikaze estate was impeccable inside and out. As he stepped inside, he took off his shoes then headed down the hall.

He saw his mother was making dinner. Naruto smiled at the sight of her. He walked inside the kitchen then gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I'm home kaa-chan." He said.

Kushina had noticed Naruto's chakra signature so she knew he was coming home. She smiled at her pride and joy. "Welcome home Naruto. How was your mission?" She asked.

"Nothing special, just an escort mission. Fought off a couple bandits and some B-class missing nin. We handled it with ease." Naruto answered.

Kushina nodded. "Good to know you didn't have any trouble. I'm almost done with dinner, why don't you go take a shower. The food should be done by the time you come back down."

"Alright I probably smell like a forest anyways." Naruto walked upstairs and took a shower in the bathroom in his bedroom.

While Naruto was taking a shower. Kushina was thinking to herself as she was finishing setting up dinner. 'It's been two days since I last saw Naruto. Those 2 days felt like months. I don't know why but lately I've been feeling more..attached? I think that's the word. I just know that I just feel a lot better than I normally do when he comes around.' Kushina thought to herself.

She fixed her and Naruto's plate. Kushina enjoyed spending any time with her son. It made her forget the pain she feels whenever she thinks about Minato.

Naruto had come downstairs. He was wearing a white muscle shirt and some shorts. He smiled seeing the food on the table. "Looks good kaa-chan." He said as he was sitting down.

Kushina smiled. "Thank you sochi."

The two began eating. "So dad not making it again huh?" Naruto asked.

Kushina sighed. "No unfortunately he's pulling another all nighter at the office as usual. Knowing him he'll show up whenever he decides to."

Naruto frowned hearing that. "You would think the man would spend all the time he could with his family."

Kushina smiled slightly. "Naruto you know your father is j-"

"Don't make any excuses for him mom. Dad has been pulling this for years now! I know he's the hokage. But you have needs too just like the village. He may have to put the village over his family but that doesn't mean he has to do it all the time." Naruto cut her off.

The Uzumaki Matriarch wanted to retort her son's comment. However she couldn't since she knew nothing he said was wrong.

Naruto saw a sad look on his mother face that only angered him more. But he reeled in his anger and decided to do something to get her mind off of his father. "Hey mom if you want, we can watch a movie after this to spend some time with each other. It has been a few days since we have."

One thing about Naruto and Kushina was that they always spent a good amount of time with each other. Whether it was going out to eat at restaurants, shopping at stores, gardening, playing card games you name it. Anything besides going on missions and training with each other the two did with each other. Well anything that was appropriate that is.

Most would fine the amount of time Naruto and Kushina spent with each other a bit weird considering they were mother and son. Normally a couple would spend that amount of time with one another. Although if you didn't know any better. You could easily assume so seeing how they interact with each other. While they didn't kiss or anything like that. They do give each other kisses on the cheek. Kushina also hugs Naruto a lot. It wasn't like Naruto or Kushina really cared about what others thought anyways. They've always been close ever since Naruto was born.

Kushina beamed at Naruto. "That's fine with me sochi."

The two went to the usual room they watch movies together at. Which was Kushina room. Naruto was picking out the movie to play. He was in the mood for something drama filled. Kushina usually never cared which movies they would watch. She knows Naruto typically picks out good movies no matter what the genre is. The blond picked the movie and put it inside the DVD player. Once he did that, he went to sit at the top of the bed next to his mother.

The movie was indeed drama filled. It was about a woman who was tired of feeling like she was second fiddle to her husband. At first when she met him everything was great. Following all the way to their first couple years of marriage everything was fine. It was a few arguments here and there. But nothing too major. However as the years went on. The man was paying less and less attention to his wife. He rarely spent time with her at all. And anytime they were around each other the couple were normally arguing. The woman was trying so hard to make things work. But nothing seemed to help. She thought about getting a divorce. Unfortunately she decided against it because she didn't feel like anyone would want her and going through divorce is a long process. Due to the neglect of her husband. The woman had felt less confident about herself. Things began to change when one day she met a man who seemed to had fallen in love with her at first sight.

She was buying groceries when she encountered that man. They had accidentally bumped into each other. It was like once the man saw her. He was instantly mesmerized by her. She noticed his staring of her but surprisingly didn't mind since the look he was giving her was not one that would suggest he was eyeing her as if she was a piece of meat. The two began to talk and ended up having an hour conversation.

Things were going great. But the woman needed to go. The man was disappointed and asked if she wanted to go on a date sometime. At first she refused since she was married. But when she thought about it. She decided to go through with it since it wasn't like her husband was giving her any attention. She knew it was wrong but at this point she really didn't care. She didn't plan on having a future with this guy anyways. The woman just wanted someone to give her the attention he was giving her. So she told him that she would be willing to go out to a cafe with him tomorrow afternoon if he was free. He quickly agreed and the pair went their separate ways.

The next day came along and their date went way better than the woman expected. The man treated her like a queen. Anything she wanted he got for her. He gave her his undivided attention whenever she talked. She did the same to him. The two had a few things in common. She also liked his personality. Eventually the two kept seeing each other which led to their relationship developing into something more.

Eventually the woman decided that she wanted to be happy. The man she had met at the store was making her happier than she ever remembered being. She decided to be with him instead of her husband. So one day she told her husband that she wanted a divorce. When her husband asked why. She explained to him her reason. Her soon to be ex husband knew that it was for the best. As he knew that he had messed up badly. It was his fault that everything was going south. He wanted to at least give her some sort of happiness. So he agreed to the divorce. The woman told her new lover the news and the two celebrated by having sex for the first time. It was a great experience for both of them. Time passed as they got married to each other and had a daughter 4 years later.

Naruto had to admit that the movie was good. But it wasn't as drama filled as he hoped. Kushina on the other hand was brought to tears. As her situation was very similar to that woman's in the movie. He relationship with her husband was absolute shit. The blond noticed his mother's tears and brought her into a one armed hug. "What's wrong mom?" He asked.

"T-the movie really hit home for me you know? I'm n-not happy with your father anymore Naruto. I'm so sorry." Kushina broke into more tears.

It aches Naruto's heart to see his mother in tears. He mentally cursed his father and gave his mother a proper hug. He kissed her cheek and shared a few words with her.

"Don't cry over him kaa-chan. Please don't apologize either because it's not your fault. It husband I don't blame you in whatever decision you decide to do. Just know that regardless of it all. I will support you all the way." Naruto reassured her.

Kushina was happy and relieved by her son's words. She eventually stopped crying and said thank you to him.

After about 20 more minutes. Naruto had said he was going to go to sleep in his room. Before he could get up, Kushina held his wrist. Naruto looked at his mother in confusion.

"C-could you sleep with me tonight Sochi?" She asked.

Naruto had to double check to make sure he heard right. Cause if he did then this could be the first step into something more with his mother. "Come again?" He asked.

"Could you please sleep here with me tonight Naruto. I really don't want to be alone." Kushina asked again with a very light blush.

"But what if dad comes-" he was cut off by Kushina's finger on his lips.

"I don't care what he has to say. I doubt he'll think much of it and that's even if he shows up." Kushina said.

Naruto smiled. Alright mom I'll sleep with you here tonight."

"Thank you Sochi." Kushina kissed him again on the cheek. Causing Naruto to blush slightly.

Naruto and Kushina got comfortable and eventually fell asleep for the night.
