Author's POV
The light became clear on the man which showed a adult version of naruto itself. The man with blue eyes and yellow hair, the famous yellow flash, the fourth hokage minato namikaze.
"Naruto..." the man called naruto in his warm voice. Naruto felt a warmth spreading in his whole body by hearing the soothing voice of the hokage.
"How the hokage knows my name?" he questioned.
"It is obvious.. isn't it.. I am.the one who named you.. naruto I am your father.. and kushina uzumaki is your mother."
"Father...." Naruto was full blown crying when he heard that... minato couldn't help but move forward and hug his son. Before he continue talking.. he concentrated chakra in his hands and strengthened the weakened seal that held kurama in naruto. Minato can feel the kyuubi chakra seeping into the outside of the cell and enveloping naruto. But he can also feel no hatred in them, it was a warm chakra which is helping to heal naruto.
"Guess the kyuubi is mellowing out for my son afterall.. kushina... it's a good thing we believed in him. But I can't believe what is happening to him now... I guess we failed as parents." Minato thought while transferring a lot bit of kyuubi chakra from him to naruto. Kyuubi can feel his chakra level increasing and he looked at minato in confusion. Minato just smiled while comforting his four year old kid.
Minato changed the location in the mindscape to somewhere peaceful where doesn't have to see the flared from the kyuubi and held his son some more while rubbing soothing circles on his back. Naruto finally calmed down and then he snapped at minato..
"why did you make your own the container of the nine tailed fox.. you know what I have been through.. the villagers always turns their eyes away from me or glare at me, some went lengths to harm me.. I also couldn't make any friends because apparently everyone should stay away from the demon.. why.. why did you.. why did you leave me alone. Dad...?"
Minato can feel his heart breaking seeing his crying son who is barely five year old. He couldn't believe what happened. He thought the villagers will hail him as a hero, not as a demon whom they should stay away from. But minato is dead, so is kushina, he can't do anything about it now. The only thing he can do is comfort his kid and tell him the truth.Minato explained the whole story about the kyuubi attack and why he had to seal the kyuubi inside him and naruto. Naruto didn't now what he had to say to that. He just realised his parents gave up their life to save the village and their son, that's him. His eyes again filled with tears remembering that he was loved by both of his parents.
"Thank you for loving me..." naruto choked out.
"Sh.. my son... you are the one who made me and kushina father and mother.. thank you for being born.. we love you.. "
Naruto was happy for the first time in his life. This is the moment someone told him that they love him. He didn't know what to do...
"I guess I can finally meet you and mother in the afterlife.. " naruto said. Minato was sad and angry.. about the things naruto had to go through in his small age. He was angry at the third hokage for letting his son go through all this pain. Mainly he was angry at himself for not being able to be at his side to protect him from all the pain. He loved the village like his life, he died protecting it and now he don't know what to do anymore after knowing what the village has done to his son.
"Naruto.. don't give up on your life yet.. you know your mother used to say you are going to grow up into a strong shinobi and become the hokage like me..
Live naruto... no matter how painful it is.. love carry on our will of fire.. you are my son, me and your mother love you and believe in you. I am going to leave you with the knowledge of my jutsus.. learn, train and become stronger. Everyone will acknowledge you... we trust you kid.. when you feel alone, know that we are inside your heart, we live through you.." minato ruffled naruto's hair and hugged him closer.
"I guess this is the only time I have here.. you will meet your mother some day... live my son... don't give up.." he kissed naruto's forehead and vanished into thin air. Naruto found himself infront of the prison again. The kyuubi was calm and watching him.
"ne... kurama... can you stay with me some more time... I don't want to die yet... I promise you I wont treat you bad... I will free you when I find the way to break this seal.." naruto said while walking towards kurama. As the prison bars were huge and naruto can easily walk through the cell and he reached the kyuubi and hugged his paw.
"Please let me stay like this for sometime..." naruto said and drifted into sleep.
Kurama looked towards his jailer with kind eyes. He wrapped his tail around naruto to keep him warm.
"I will keep you safe kit.. and I will make you stronger... I am not a being sho like humans but for you I will fight anyone willingly.." kyuubi thought while concentrating his chakra to heal the wounds of naruto.
Outside his mindscape, naruto was inside the forest of death and so many creatures surrounded him while smelling his blood. They were removing the cloth that covered naruto and was about to attack him, they cowered in fear hearing the howl of a pack of wolves. The creatures retreated leaving the body of naruto and the pack of wolves surrounded him creating a protective barrier around him. Naruto groaned in his sleep and slowly fluttered his eyes open. He was met with lot of tree branches and when he looked to the side he can see wolves. He sat up instantly worrying about his life, but he can see the wolves were sitting around him calmly. When he sat up one of the wolves came beside him and sat near him. Naruto can see the warmth seeping into his body..
"Kit.. don't be afraid.. they are just keeping you safe from danger and cold..." naruto heard someone talking to him.
"Kurama is that you.." naruto asked aloud.
"It is me kit.. and you don't have to talk loud to talk to me.. just talk in your mind. I can hear them."
"Wow that's very cool dattebayo..." naruto said making kurama speechless. This kid who is barely five years old even though he was treated with malice and cruelty, he still remained the hopeful idiot. May be that is the charm of his. The ability to find the light, even in the pitch dark. He was that light to kurama atleast and he wont let anyone lay a hand on his kit. He will train him and make him strong enough to able to defend himself.
"Kurama... but why are they guarding me..." naruto asked but this time in his mind.
"Animals also have emotions kit.. they saw your pain and they took you in their pack. Wolves are the creatures who lives in a pack and they protect their own."
Naruto couldn't control his tears, he bawled his eye s out. Sensing this the wolves held him closer. Kurama healed all of his wounds and but suddenly his stomach grumbled signing that he was hungry. But before he could say something he saw two little foxes coming back with a leaf full of water and some fruits. Naruto didn't know what to do.
"Kit.. it is for you.. why don't you eat.." Kurama face palmed at his kit's cluelessness. Naruto took the food with a bow and then he petted the two wolves who brought him food and said thank you. The two wolves starting wagging their tail and settled down curled up near naruto. After having food, naruto stood up and then he bowed.
