Chapter 9 - Kushina

"Sorry I didn't see you there"

"You should look where you're going, you know."

"Your hair is just like mine, you must be an Uzumaki, my name is Ryuu, nice to meet another Uzumaki, my mother was an Uzumaki too."

she looked at Ryuu curiously.

"So you're telling me there's another Uzumaki in this village?"

He looked down and frowned.

"Not anymore. She's dead now."

"oh, I'm sorry, I just got a little overjoyed, you know, my parents and relatives are dead or hiding in other villages.

I'm the last one from my family too, you know."

"I see, well I should get going now. I don't want to be late, nice meeting you, kushina," I said as I stood up.

"Nice meeting you too, Ryuu." They waved each other off and Ryuu ran toward home.

'Before I Go back maybe I should go back to get my necklace, it would be the perfect time for this cause, either way, I'm still late, However, it will be dangerous to go alone if those people are still there they'd kill me.'

He ruminated on his next move, but eventually, he went home.

"I'm Home!" He said as he entered the house.

"What took you so long Ryuu, I thought I completely lost you. I was about to come looking for you."

Kakashi said while scratching his head in embarrassment.

"No you weren't, stop lying, you were probably gonna sleep until I came."

Ryuu replied.

They both laughed.

Two hours passed, and they were both tired and bored.

"Hey Kakashi, when is Sakumo-sama coming back, I'm bored"

Sigh

"Ryuu, you're too impatient dad should be back in a few moments.

He was probably sent to do a short mission, otherwise, he would've written a letter." He said as he went to his room.

Thirty minutes later, Ryuu finally heard Sakumo nearby, so he went to pretend he was sleeping.

"I'm Home!"

Kakashi went to welcome his father as usual

"Dad, what mission did you have this time?"

"Oh, it was just a long meeting about the village, nothing important.

Anyway, where's Ryuu? is he so tired he fell asleep, the way Hokage-sama talked about him it didn't seem like he could run out of energy so soon." He said as he placed his finger on his chin, trying to figure it out.

"Oh, he's probably just faking his sleep just half an hour ago, He was just complaining about how bored he was."

"Hmm..."

Sakumo thought of something, then he whispered it into Kakashi's ear and they both nodded in agreement.

"Oh well, don't wake him up just in case he's actually asleep. Let's let him rest we'll talk tomorrow, Goodnight, Kakashi I'm going to sleep." Sakumo walked to his room and waved him off.

Then Kakashi replied.

"Goodnight Dad, see you tomorrow."

After switching off the lights, Kakashi then went into his room.

"THUD" Ryuu fell from his bed

"Huh, what's going on?"

He went to switch on his lights and found Sakumo and Kakashi trying to hold their laughter.

"Hey what was that for?" He said with an annoyed face and a tick on his head.

Both of them couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed as hard as they could. "Hahaha!"

"Not that funny."

Ryuu said with a low tone as he scratched his head.

"Sorry Ryuu but we couldn't help it, you set yourself up perfectly," Sakumo said and Kakashi nodded in agreement. However, seeing both of them so happy, Ryuu couldn't help but smile a little.

"Anyway, what took you so long Sakumo-sama, it was so boring without you," Ryuu said.

"Sorry, Ryuu, but I had to be there for the meeting anyway, I'm going to make some food, both of you tell me how your day went after I left."

Both of them left Ryuus' room and began telling Sakumo how their day went as he was making dinner, after he finished, he said. "So Ryuu, you finally met Kushina Uzumaki huh?" Ryuu nodded,

'Then Sakumo-sama came and served the food for us.

After eating dinner, we all went to sleep. I checked my room first before I get any pranks from those two and I finally went to sleep.'
