Namikaze Naoki || Uchiha Itachi

Chapter 2

"This may be personal naoki, but why do you have so many wounds? Did the village do this?" Shisui frowned

He already knew the answer but needed to confirm it..

Naoki was shocked, someone other than her family was concerned for her.. this was a first for naoki.. it left her kind of speechless and in a daze

"Are you okay?" Itachi asked a little worried from the face she suddenly made

"Ah, Sorry.. I'm just shocked.. most wounds come from the villagers.. but they're not bad people.. I think" naoki replied not sure how to view the villagers

Though they did do horrible things to her and naruto she couldn't completely blame them for it.. the villagers had their own pain.. they just vented their anger at the wrong people..

Itachi and shisui just gave off a worried face mixed with a little confusion.. they were wondering why..

"People that hurt others are bad people, you should just think of them as bad people.." sasuke said in a sulky way

"I guess?" Naoki questioned tilling her head a little and closing her eyes

Then the door opened again and mikoto came back, this time with a man next to her. In naoki's eyes The man looked very strict and somewhat scary.. The man sighed..

But what shocked her the most was that she saw her dad behind him.. with naruto.

Minato came up to his daughter and hugged her, he was apologizing and his voices cracked a few times.

Minato just heard the story from his son and was heartbroken.. he blamed it all on himself..

Naoki was confused at first but figured that her brother must have told their dad about the treatment they got from the villagers..

Naoki got as emotional as her dad, she was crying on his shoulder. She too was apologizing for not even telling him about anything.. but she didn't because they (the parents) would have worried and that was the last thing she wanted

After that whole thing, minato took his children home but before that he made a stop to eat dinner.

Guess what they ate..

Ramen.

(Earlier with naruto)

Naruto regained his consciousness earlier than naoki, a man, a woman and three children were in the room plus naoki. The only one awake was the man, who was staring directly at him.. this man was fugaku

Naruto looked the man back in the eye and tried thinking of something to say.. but the man was the first to talk

"Naruto was it? I take it that your parents don't know about your situation?" He asked

Naruto began sweating.. this just gave everything away, fugaku already had an idea of what was happening but the nervous naruto just further proved his thought.

"Uh.."

Fugaku sighed again and said sternly but with care "I thought so.. naruto, I'm bringing you to your dad, and either I tell him or you do!"

Naruto looked down, he never was planning on telling his dad, because he'll worry and minato was a very important person who already had allot of worries on his shoulder.. naruto didn't want to add to the worries and be a burden..

After a silence fugaku said "if you can move, let's go"

"Before that.. can I know your name.. sir" naruto asked

"Fugaku, Uchiha Fugaku"

Naruto got out of the bed and followed him to the door, of course after putting on shoes and all.

Naruto was now with fugaku walking to the hokage's office. He knocked on the door and minato told him to come in.

Minato glanced at fugaku but his gaze deserted right away, only looking at the blond next to his friend, naruto was with him...

Minato frowned, he saw the bandages around naruto and got furious.. of course he didn't show his furry. he looked at fugaku for some kind of explanation..

Fugaku looked at naruto and sighed, he knew this was going to be hard for the little blond to explain and thus he decided to do it for him

"Naruto, wait outside.." fugaku said

Naruto walked outside not meeting his fathers eyes, he was nervous.. very nervous.. would his dad get mad?

Back in the office, fugaku began explaining how they had found him and what he thinks had happened and was going on.

"Naruto was found by shisui ,who witnessing a villager hurting him. Right behind naruto was naoki already hurt.. Mikoto treated their wounds but there were many older scars as well as few newer ones." He paused to see his friend's reaction.. it was a combination of disappointment, sadness and with a hint of hurt in his eyes

"I'm guessing it wasn't their first time getting abused.." fugaku added sadly..

"Thank you for informing me, fugaku.." minato said

Fugaku nodded he them bowed and excused himself. Naruto was still outside waiting, fugaku told him to go to his dad and he did.

"Dad? Are you angry with me?" He asked a little scared for the answer

Minato walked to him, kneeled to his hight and embraced him immediately.

"Naruto, I'm so sorry you two must've been through allot.. I'm sorry for not noticing earlier" minato said holding him tighter

His eyes were getting teary, he had disappointed himself for not noticing, he was also disappointed and furious at the people from the village that had tried to hurt them. His thoughts variated from thinking of a punishment and just cursing at them...

Minato was a very kind man most of the time.. but hurt his loved ones and you'll regret it..

"I'm sorry too, I should've told you but I didn't want you to think of me as a burden.." naruto cried

"Naruto, whatever happens I'll never think of you or naoki as a burden" he assured him caressing his head

He nodded as tears stained minato's shoulder, together they went to the other Namikaze and wait for her to wake up.

(Back to the present)

After the ramen.. Minato had a new concern.

"Your kaa-chan is going to return soon.. How are we going to tell her about tge news..." minato said slightly whimpering in fear after having the thought of what kushina would do..

Naoki and naruto both sweat dropped.. a punishment would be unenviable..
