I DO NOT OWN NARUTO

Everything will be finalized and put into action now! 

Just to clear something up, Naruto looks just like young Minato, so I am going to describe him as Minato when he was a child, okay? Natsumi is like feminine, redheaded Naruto minus whisker marks.  

Oh, and those who have read already, please note that there is no Menma. I took him out because I thought that if it was just Natsumi and Naruto, then they could get closer.

I hope you enjoy!

It has been three years. Three years to plan, to fix up cracks, improve, get stronger, and most of all, converse with the jinchuuriki in the world.

Naruto remembered how he felt when he first got the letters from them. He still read them nowadays, even though he had other letters too.

The first one arrived from Sumi, who had been sent to Kirikagure, the Hidden Village in the Mist. The letter was from Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage.

Dear Uzumaki-san,

My name is Yagura, Fourth Mizukage of Kirikagure. I am host to Isobu, the Three-Tailed Turtle. My village is known as the Bloody Mist, but please, pay no heed to this. I am merely fighting against the rebels who wish to over-throw me. 

I would very much like to meet you, Naruto Uzumaki. I hope one day we can travel together.

Regards,

Yagura

That had been the first letter that Naruto received, and had immediately drawn to the conclusion that Yagura was a very formal person.

Smiling, Naruto happily wrote back, whilst waiting for the other letters to arrive. You simply could not imagine his joy when all eight jinchuuriki replied back to him.

  《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》 

Naruto was slowly dozing off as Iruka-sensei droned on and on about his congratulation speech for making Genin. The blonde really was endlessly patient, but he absolutely hated speeches with an intense passion. 

Sasuke Uchiha looked at him sympathetically. The raven couldn't really blame him. Sasuke himself was almost dropping off to sleep, but that surely wouldn't go well with his mother. 

Fortunately for the two of them, Iruka's speech had been cut off when the door opened. Naruto and Sasuke shot to attention, startling Sakura and Ino, who had been sitting with them. The boys' bodies were rigidly alert, their eyes sharp.

"Sorry for interrupting your class, Iruka," the Fourth Hokage apologized. "This is my daughter, Natsumi Uzumaki-Namikaze. I believe you passed her yesterday, so she will be joining your class from now on." 

"That's alright Hokage-sama," Iruka Umino said politely, but inside he was wondering if the child knew how to fight. Sure the girl knew the Academy jutsus and basic knowledge that passed her to Genin, but did that matter if she didn't even know anyone? Would she be a stuck-up brat or work with her teammates?

"Now you will be assigned your genin teams," Iruka announced, his eyes flitting warily to the Hokage's daughter.

(I'm making up names here, so don't ask)

"Team 1, Aiko Natatooney, Mimi Tsum (as in TsumTsum XD) and Samika Doodryle. Team 2. . ."

Natsumi, not hearing her name, tuned out. She stared at her new classmates, assessing them one by one. 

Then her eyes fell on one in particular. 

He was a boy, around two years older than her. He was like a replica of her father when he was a child. His bangs and hair was exactly the same too. He was wearing navy blue ANBU pants and a mesh shirt beneath a white hoodie that he left open. Two navy blue lines running along each sleeve. His navy blue forehead protector was partly hidden by his hair.

As the boy turned to her, she gave a small gasp when she saw kind blue eyes, tainted with determination and a little sorrow, which was caused by something she did not know.

(Pretend he has his forehead protector)

  《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》  

Naruto, feeling like he was being watched, shifted his head and smiled softly at the child that was his younger sister. His eyes softened when he saw her gasp a little. She probably did not even know that she had a brother, not that he could blame her. 

Over the years, he began to forgive his family, starting with his sister. 

On rare occasions when she did notice him, his little sister would run up to him and ask him to play or train with her until her parents decided to whisk her away for "special training". When Natsumi would turn back to say she wanted to play with her brother, she would find that Naruto had disappeared. 

  《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》 

"Team 7, Sasuke Uchiha, Naruto Uchiha. . . and Natsumi Uzumaki-Namikaze."

(Uchiha Massacre never happened, Naruto put a stop to it)

Naruto and Sasuke high-fived silently below the desk smiling at each other. After Naruto had been wandering through the village after the first two years of neglection, he found Sasuke and the two had quickly become friends. 

Mikoto, Fugaku and Itachi Uchiha, his parents and brother, had immediately accepted Naruto into their family, unofficially adopting him. The Uchihas had been furious with the Fourth Hokage's treatment to his oldest. 

As a result, Mikoto barely spoke with Kushina anymore, and Fugaku would try his hardest to avoid interaction with the Fourth Hokage. Unfortunately, he had to give Minato police reports nearly every day. The Uchiha head made his reports as quick and blunt as possible nowadays. 

Ever since Naruto became one of the Uchiha, his personality did a complete 180. Fugaku was now more caring and open to emotions and ideas. He was a better father and a easy-going man who had realized that Sasuke did not have to be his brother in any way at all. That path was for Sasuke to choose.

The rest of the Uchiha had whole-heartedly accepted Naruto into their clan, and they loved him as much as Sasuke. His grin was always there to brighten up anyone's day.

And so, Naruto became an Uchiha, the younger brother of Sasuke and Itachi, the youngest son of Mikoto and Fugaku.

Natsumi looked at Naruto. She felt strangely attracted to him, like she had known him before today. But was that possible? Did she know. . . Naruto Uchiha? 

'I wasn't aware that the Uchiha had a blonde child. I thought they mainly had black hair,' she thought, staring at the smiling blonde boy, his blue eyes now sparkling with happiness.

She looked at the girl beside her. She had long platinum blonde hair and pupil-less blue eyes. 

'A Yamanaka,' Natsumi concluded as she tapped the girl's shoulder.

"Hi, I'm Natsumi," she whispered.

"Ino Yamanaka," the girl answered, smiling.

'I was right!! ' Natsumi thought gleefully before asking her question. "Um, Ino, why is that Uchiha blonde?"

Ino looked over to where Sasuke and Naruto were talking through hand signals.

"Oh, Naruto? He's pretty cute isn't he? To answer your question, Sasuke, that boy by the window, his family adopted Naruto. No one really knows where he came from, because he doesn't reveal anything to anyone but his family. Maybe his parents died or something. But there's something that's been nagging at everybody since the beginning of the year. Doesn't he look oddly like your father?" 

Ino's eyes never left the blonde and raven.

"Yeah, he does," Natsumi agreed.

"Alright, go out for lunch, then meet back here with your new teams and meet your senseis," Iruka called out, making the two girls jump.

Naruto and Sasuke immediately jumped out the window their hands flying in signs. 

Natsumi recognized a few as ANBU hand signals. How did they know them?

"Natsumi, wanna come with me?" Ino appeared next to her.

"Oh. . . sure!"

"If you're wondering why those two know ANBU hand signals, do you know the ANBU Weasel?"

"Weasel?" Natsumi gasped.

"I take it that you know him, then. He is Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke's and Naruto's older brother." Ino said it like it was an everyday occurrence to have two kids that were the younger brothers of the prodigy among prodigies from the Uchiha clan. 

"Wow. . ."

"Come on. I'll show you the best place to have lunch."

"Um, okay."

How was it? I hope it was okay. So this explains more about his background, and who he is close with, and stuff. 

Thanks for reading and please review!! It helps a TON.
