Naruto was floating through the endless void the only thing he knew was the chakras of Obito,Madara and Sasuke entering him and he let out Kurama who came out of the seal and and crying for leaving her alone as his vision faded,

With Kurama, Who was crying because of  Naruto disappeared from her lap in light particles where she placed Naruto's head all the tailed beasts came to her side as Nibi spoke,

Kurama he is gone his chakra had gone we can't do anything to get him back,Nibi said as Kurama looked at her and spoke,

He promised me that we'll live happily with a family of our own and he left me alone and all of this caused by these 3 Uchihas, Kurama said as she said the word Uchiha with venom as a projection of Hagoroma Otsutski Aka The Sage of Six Paths came as he spoke,

Kurama I can't even bring him back the only way to bring him back is to travel to the same timeline where he went and I'm gonna send you there and be prepared Naruto maybe a changed person because him having Indra's,Obito's, Madara's and Sasuke's chakra and their memories too or he maybe born as a pure breed Uchiha like my son Indra and only you can change him and be prepared he even have Ashura’s chakra which give him Ashura's bloodline be prepared when confronting Naruto,

7 YEARS LATER

After the Kyuubi rampage on Konohagakure, Makaira was humming a nonsensical tune to herself as she worked in the kitchen swaying slightly to the tune she hummed as the soft sound of pitter-patter against the wooden flooring reached her ears and a smile lit up on her face as she immediately turned around and spoke,

Welcome back, honey, did you have fun pla..oh, Makahira just stopped talking as she  saw her baby-boy stood before her, sniffing softly, as he held a puppy close to his chest as he spoke,

Ma..Riko isn't breathing,??? said as a tender look came in her eyes and she sank down to her knees in front of him, A delicate hand cupped his pale cheek, very much like her own as her thumb wiped his tears as he sniffed softly,

Oh, sweetie you knew this was going to happen when you took him in, didn't you,Makahira asked as Naruto spoke and nodded,

Mhm,Naruto nodded his head against her hand as his teary sapphire eyes looked into her onyx eyes,

But I didn't want him to go, Ma, Naruto said as Makahira spoke,

I know honey, nobody wants to lose things precious to them, Makahira said as she removed her hand from his face and poked his chest softly with a finger and spoke,

It hurts here, doesn't it, Makahira said as Naruto grunted,

Mhm,Naruto nodded and looked down at Riko in his hands as tears slowly fell onto his brown fur, a sad smile plucked at the corners of her mouth,

It always does, dear, Makahira said as Naruto sniffed softly as he looked back at her and spoke,

Do-Does it get better? Does this pain go away, Naruto asked as she nodded with a rueful look,

Sometimes, Makahira said,

How,Naruto said to her,

You learn to move on, my dear Naruto, Makahira replied as she ran a hand through his spiky, golden blond hair,

How do I,Naruto said as he looked down at Riko in his hands,

Learn to move on, Ma, Naruto asked as Makahira spoke,

You do that step by step,honey, Makahira replied as Naruto spoke,

Step by step, what is the first step, Ma, Naruto asked,

First, we bury him, Naruto, Makahira replied
In our backyard, Naruto asked as Makahira spoke,

Yes, dear, Makahira said as she stood up and gave him a gentle smile,
Come with me,Makahira said as she kept her hand in between his small shoulder- blades and rubbed small circles as they walked towards their small backyard,

Where do you want to bury him,Naruto?, Makahira asked as Naruto spoke,

There,Naruto said as his teary eves looked towards a small tree in the corner,

It was his favorite spot,Naruto said as Makahira raised an eyebrow as she thought,

Wasn't that the place Riko used as a toilet? She tried to remember what it was used for, Oh, well. In the end, she shrugged her shoulders, deeming it unnecessary,

Okay, honey, we will bury him there,Makahira said as Naruto nodded his head,

Come, I will help you, Makahira said as she ran through some hand-seals and forced her chakra into the ground through her feet and  the result? a small portion of the ground split apart in front of the tree and it was a simple technique taught to every ninja during her time, with a single, very morbid purpose, to give their comrades that have fallen an immediate burial if the retrieval of the body wasn't possible  and to set-up a trap, but that was  purpose,

There,Makahira  said and gestured towards the square hole in the ground,

Gently lower him in it, Naruto, Makahira said as Naruto nodded,

Okay,Naruto said as he did as he was asked and  sinking down to his knees, he gently lowered Riko in the hole as he ran his small hand through the fur and said,

I will miss you, Riko, Naruto said as he rubbed at his eyes as they started to feel itchy, wiping the tears away in the process,

She stood patiently, watching him petting the deceased canine for the final time as she didn't say a word, letting him take as much time as he needed,

Once he stood up on his own, she flashed him a comforting smile and beckoned him closer to her as he ran towards her and hugged her across her legs as she ran through a slightly different set of hand- seals and channelled chakra into the ground by her feet as  the grave closed on itself as  sealing itself shut, leaving no evidence of there being a hole in the ground moments prior,

Her work done,she focused on Naruto again as his entire frame was trembling against her as he sobbed as hooking her arms under his armpits, she hoisted  in her hold as his small arms tightened around her shoulders, grabbing fistful of her clothing as his head buried in the crook of her neck as Makahira spoke,

There,Makahira said as she gently rocked him in her hold, exactly as she had done when he was just a baby,

Stop crying,honey, Makahira said as Naruto looked at her as when she saw Naruto opened his eyes she gasped she saw the 3 tomoes spinning in his eyes as she spoke,

Naruto what did you feel when you closed your eyes did you feel searing eye pain, Makahira asked as Naruto spoke,

Yes, mom I felt so much pain when I opened my eyes,Naruto replied as Makahira spoke,

Naruto tomorrow onwards I'm gonna train you because you have unlocked your Sharingan and also the 3rd tomoes too baby you're gonna be a prodigy when you become older even better than Itachi Uchiha, Makahirasaid  as Naruto nodded as his eyes shifted to Normal,
