2 Years Later
Naruto was sat on his bed looking at a kunai his mom got him for his birthday and chuckles softly before it became hollow and Naruto's eyes slowly watered, why? You may ask, Naruto just found out his mom has an incurable disease, well a cure hadn't been made so far but from what he was told, it affected her lungs the most, mainly when using her chakra.
Naruto looks up at the door and gets up off his bed, walks to his mom's room and peaks in "Hey kaa-chan?" he asked softly, his mother looks at him and hums in response "Can I go see Itachi and Mikoto-Oba?" he asked very softly almost unheard by his mother as she nodded.
"But be back by 5 Naru-chan" she replied and Naruto nodded softly.
As Naruto walked to the Uchiha head's house he thought of what to tell them as only he and his mom knew of her disease, while lost in thought he never realized he reached there door until his hand subconciously knocked on the door.
"Coming!" shouted a female voice inside who after 30 seconds opened the door "Oh hello Naru-chan" she said before realizing his downtrodden facial expression "What's wrong?" she asked and Naruto looks up at her.
"Can you get Itachi and Sasuke as well.. I need to tell you all" he mumbled as she nodded softly before going inside Naruto following her until they got to the living room, Naruto entered and sat down on the couch as Mikoto went to get the boys. After 5 minutes she returned and Itachi looks at Naruto.
"Hello Naruto-kun, what's wrong?" Itachi asked softly as he saw Naruto look at them with eyes that had unshed tears.
"M-My.." Naruto's tears finally burst free "K-Kaa-chan isn't feeling well.." he said while sobbing "A-And the doctor's can't help her" he continued while his tears continued. Mikoto's motherly instinct kicked in and she cuddled Naruto while Itachi had a grim expression and Sasuke looked confused.
"What do you mean your Hikari-oba isn't feeling well Naruto" asked the confused Sasuke "We saw her yesterday" he finished and Naruto flinched.
"S-She woke up coughing a lot this morning... When I went in with a glass of water her hand had blood on it and she had no cuts..." Naruto held onto Mikoto as he continued to cry "T-The doctor's say her lungs are bad and using chakra speeds up the disease" he mumbled into Mikoto's shoulder as he sniffles. After 10 minutes of crying he stopped and let go of Mikoto who rubbes his back softly.
Itachi's grim expression turned worse "Does Shisui know?" he asked softly.
Naruto shook his head "No Shisui-nii is on a mission and won't be back for a week" he replied making Itachi flinch slightly.
"Naru-chan" Mikoto said gaining his attention "Would you take me to your house? We have to make you and your kaa-chan some lunch, I'm sure she needs her rest" Naruto nodded slightly as he stood up from his seat and looks at the Uchiha brother's.
"Are all of you coming?" he asked slightly defensive "I dunno if kaa-chan like Fugaku-sama much" he mumbled making Mikoto giggle.
"No it's just me and you, I'm sure Itachi-kun would cook food for his brother and father, isn't that right Itachi?" Mikoto replied with a sickly sweet smile making Itachi nod rapidly, now Itachi might be strong but a woman's badside is not one even the strongest ninja can survive. Mikoto's smile returned to her regular one as she continued "Let's go Naru-chan" she replied as Naruto nodded and slowly led her to his house, as they entered they saw Hikari on the stairs about to come down.
"Kaa-chan! The doctors said rest!" Naruto exclaimed making Hikari giggle "Bed now or I won't go buy you any dango tomorrow!" Naruto shouted making Hikari look stunned.
"N-Now now Naru-chan, kaa-chan was going to watch tv down here" Hikari said trying to get off her son's badlist making Mikoto giggle at the interaction.
"Now now, Hikari I believe you should be resting" Mikoto said as she walked to the kitchen "It's alright I'll make you some food" she continued before looking at Hikari "And after you can explain everything" Mikoto finished and made Hikari flinch.
"H-Hai Mikoto" Hikari responded sheepishly and then sat on the couch as Naruto sat with her and cuddled into her.
"You'll be fine won't you" mumbled Naruto as Hikari nodded and rubbes his hair.
"Yes my little Naru, kaa-chan will be fine" Hikari replied while Mikoto kept cooking and smiled at their interaction and chuckled lightly.
"Naru-chan, could you set the table?" Mikoto asked and Naruto nodded and jumped off the couch and ran towards the dishes.
"For 3 Oba-chan?" Asked Naruto getting a nod in reply, Naruto grabbed 3 bowls, plates and 3 sets of chopsticks and put them on the table and put them around the table and nodded before sitting at his spot "Hey Oba-chan! Does Sasuke have his sharingan yet?" asked Naruto hesitantly.
Mikoto giggled and shook her head "No Naru-chan, Sasuke hasn't yet" she replied as Naruto nodded satisfied with the answer, after another 10 minutes Mikoto finished cooking and put the food out for the three, after eating Naruto looks at his mom and aunt figure.
"Kaa-chan, is it bed time?" he asked quietly as she chuckled and nodded "Can I take a shower first?" he asked again and Hikari nodded again.
"Go take a shower Naru, me and Mikoto have to talk as well" Hikari replied as Naruto nodded, got up and ran to the bathroom and started the shower as Hikari looks at Mikoto.
"How long have you had the disease?" Mikoto asked seriously as Hikari chuckles softly.
"A couple months but training Naru-chan sped it up a lot, after all I had to show him chakra control using my own chakra as well as some clan jutsu, the Gōkakyū no jutsu (Fireball Jutsu) to become a proper clan member" she mumbled as she smiled at Mikoto stunning her slightly.
"What do you mean chakra control? Which is he on?" Asked Mikoto
"He completed tree walking and is now onto water walking, which he is close to mastering, and he has almost gotten Gōkakyū to his standard of mastery which is being able to preform it but he planned to get it to a single handsign" Hikari chuckled softly as Mikoto was speechless.
After Mikoto gathered her thoughts on what to say Naruto came down in his pyjamas and smiles at his mom softly "Hey kaa-san" he muttered softly as he looked at the floor his eyes shadowed by his hair.
"Yes sweetie?" asked Hikari but soon gasped as she saw him crying "Naru-chan what's wrong?" she asked as she kneeled down and cuddled him.
"M-My eyes hurt" he mumbled and not before long he looked up making both women gasp before he passed out, his eyes weren't his normal color, he unlocked the Sharingan both eyes single tomoe.
After 30 minutes and Hikari putting Naruto to bed Hikari looks at Mikoto "H-He unlocked it" Mikoto stuttered. Hikari only nodded "At 5 years old?!" Hikari looked at Mikoto again and looked away.
"Could it be the foxes influence?" she asked softly and Mikoto shook her head.
"Minato made sure he wouldn't be able to converse of be influenced by the fox until this happens" Mikoto said suprising Hikari "He left you a letter in the hospital when you passed out, I read the letter and that's what it said" Mikoto said and Hikari sighs and looks at the table.
"Do you think he trained himself too hard and awakened it like that?" Hikari questioned and Mikoto nodded.
"Could be after all it's how Itachi got his" Mikoto mumbled to herself making Hikari nod instead.
The two mother's talked about possibilities while Naruto was upstairs tossing and turning in his bed until he stilled and woke up in what looks like a super sized sewer compared to him. He got a feeling from a passage in front of him which made him smile softly as he walked down it until reaching a large gate of metal bars with a seal in the centre making Naruto look at it funny until he sighed and then heard a booming voice.
"So you decided to visit me? What do I owe my jailir for visiting me so soon after I woke up?" Questioned the voice scaring Naruto "After all you have the blood of those I despise!" The voice exclaimed until a claw the size of Naruto shot through the bars and Naruto looked a little scared before steeling himself. "So ningen, what do you want?" Questioned the voice and Naruto sat down.
"So this is where the Kyuubi really went the day I was born" Naruto muttered to himself before looking at the Kyuubi and smirking "But that's a title huh?" Naruto questioned surprising the Kyuubi "After all we have Shukaku the Tanuki but all the other bijuu have a number of tails such as the Nibi, Sanbi, Yonbi, Gobi, Rokubi, Nanbi, Hachibi and finally the so called great Kyuubi, apparent reincarnation of hatred" as Naruto finished his smirk grew at the Kyuubi's shocked face before Naruto grinned like a mischevious fox and spoke again "And who's to say there isn't a hidden bijuu like the Reibi or Juubi" Naruto muttered surprising the Kyuubi even more that such a young boy could have guessed at there being another tailed beast (I don't plan on putting the Reibi in this at all or even in this universe)
"So the Uchiha brat is smarter than he looks" the Kyuubi said making Naruto look at him before the Kyuubi laughed and then sighs putting it's head on it's paws "But that does not make you worthy of my name, maybe a little help like me teaching you a couple history lessons but nothing more" Kyuubi finished before smirking "Maybe you should open up the seal grant me a little more freedom" Kyuubi said making Naruto look thoughtful before Naruto looks around.
"Hmmm" Naruto hummed before smirking "Nah, there's nothing to help me up there" Naruto said before looking around more thoroughly "Who's chakra is that?" Naruto muttered to himself surprising the Kyuubi further that he can feel the presence of Minato's chakra after he sealed a bit away "Hey so Kyuubi" Naruto said getting his attention "Who's chakra is it?" he questioned making Kyuubi think for a moment before sighing.
"You may as well come out after all he appears to be have a sensory ability" the Kyuubi said making Naruto look at him before turning to the chakra and smirking.
"Yondaime-sama" Naruto muttered to himself and Minato suddenly gained a cloud of depression while Kyuubi laughed at him.
