I'm Not Alone Anymore

part 3

"This was when Minato insisted that he carry us" Kushina declared proudly. "Ya we can see that on his face" Kita said. "What's that supposed to mean?" Kushina barked. "Jeez. Take a chill pill woman. I just said what you said." He defended. "Kushina calm down. Are you done with the picture the others are waiting." Minato said. "Hump. Last picture"

"This was taken on the first day when team 7 was official." Kushina announced. And looked around to see what she expected 'jealous look' on their face was only met with blank faces or confused faces. "What is it?" She asked "eh? Oh nothing" Izumi said. "No there is something. Tell me now" she persisted. "Oh its just that there's this one thing that's been bugging us. Mikoto-San here just said that you were expecting triplets right" Izumi asked "ya so what?" "But in all these pictures there is only two of them. Where is your other child" she asked. Kushina and Minato visibly stiffened. 'Ohhhh I see what you are doing there Izumi' many young heroes thought. "Oh Ya I was also thinking that" Hato commented. With that many raised the same comment. Kushina finally said "um... he died" audible fake gasp came from the crowd. "Oh my god. I am sorry for your loss. But if you don't mind me asking Kushina-san how did they die" Shiroi asked but the concern in his words were not shown in his eyes. They were cold. So was the others. "Um... he... um.... he he well... I don't want to talk about it" Kushina said. Many frowned "how old was he when he died?" Ren asked. "Um..7-8. I don't know. Who cares. He's dead anyways." She yelled. 'This bitch-' Ayomi was on the verge of jumping on that woman but was held back. "If he was 7-8 years old when he died. Why is he not in any of the pictures you showed us. There are even pictures of you you and your kids at age 3. Where is he?" Aizawa asked. Kushina didn't say anything neither did Minato. Both Menma and Mito were silent too Mito glanced at Akio and for the first time he was looking at her but not with the eyes she wished for. They were cold and that of a predator. She shrunken. "I want to see him" Hago (Kirishima and Mina's fourth child) voiced out. "Ya me too." "Ya I also want to see how he looked like" some others said. "Oh if you want to see I have a couple of pictures of Naruto" Obito said smiling. When others said to show them he chuckled and grabbed a small book that looked like a journal. Like he said there was a few pictures.

Everyone looked at the photo in amusement "wow" "so this is Naruto" "Oh my no wonder they say that our Hito looks like him." "Ya I agree. They look very similar." They all commented. "But why is he injured?" Harumi (Jirou's daughter) asked. Everyone now looked at the raven haired man for answers. He smiled sadly. "Naru never had a happy childhood. That's all I want to say." They understood. The Uzukaze family looked down in shame. "Oh look I have more pictures"

"This was pouty Naru when he was just around 2." Obito announced. Akihito turned red and hid away in Akio's chest which was gone unnoticed by the Uzukaze who was hiding in their own shame. Everyone laughed "why was he pouting" Reiji (Kirishima and Mina's 1st son of the twins) asked still laughing. "Because I said I can't take him with me to a mission." Obito replied laughing. Akio laughed saying "that sure reminds me of someone. Hahaha" he patted his brother's head.

"And this was when Naru challenged me to a Ramen battle." He said "Ramen battle! What is that? Hahaha" Tenshi asked no longer able to stand because of laughing. "Hahaha don't ask me. It a Naruto word. No one knows" obito replied. "Oh wait I have one too" surprisingly it was Kakashi. "What do you mean Bakashi?" "Sigh* just look"

"WHATTTTTT!!? HOW DID- HOW DID YOU TAKE THAT" Obito yelled. "Hehehe um the third took it. It was when I was returning from a small mission when I stumbled across this little guy. And you can't blame me he was pouting at that time and I couldn't resist. He was sooooo cute" Kakashi said. "Why didn't I know of this. You never mentioned him before." Obito asked this time serious. "Ya that was the first and last time I saw him. After that I also got busy. And you know the next I saw him was when......" "Ya I know" Obito said finishing Kakashi's sentence.
"Alright who's next"
