with Kushina

*we see her with her daughter Mito, Narumi, and pseudo adopted daughter Karin. They were off in the markets, and kushina was buying brand new clothes for them all to use. Karin looked at kushina, confused.*

Karin: Aunty, we've got clothes last week. Why are we getting new ones?

Kushina: Oh. This is because we're traveling, we're gonna need clothes for the weather to where we're going

*kushina said excitedly. At the prospect of where they were going, unlike anko who bought the cheapest clothes she could find, kushina was buying the most expensive, named brand, highest quality clothes for her children and herself*

Karin: And where exactly are we going?

Kushina: Oh. We're going...

*kushina started to say, but she was interrupted by finishing her sentence. When they heard Mito uzumaki squeal, they looked and saw mito pointing to a pink kimono with a patterns of animals on it*

Mito: mom! Mom! Look at this dress! It's so pretty! I want it! I want it! I want it!

Kushina: Oh my god, you would look adorable in that!!

*kushina said, walking at a fast pace to the dress and buying it without even looking at the price, since why would she? The uzumaki fortune, the namikaze fortune, Minato's life insurance, the hokage's pension plan, that she'll get for life, for being the late wife of Minato. Kushina was absolutely loaded. So she bought her daughter the dress, which would be fine and all, except....*

Timeskip after shopping

* The maids were putting the clothes in the closet, and she put the new kimono there, right next to a completely identical kimono to the new one, only difference is that the one that was on the closet was a couple month old, never worn once*

Back to the present

Karin: Don't you think you're spoiling her a bit?

Kushina: I didn't hear that complaining when I buy you all those books,

*kushina said with a smirk, as she saw the smart but still 5 year old girl start to blush and look down at her feet, which what do you know, she was wearing new sandals that kushina bought just for her. Kushina's smile turned soft as she petted Karin's head*

Kushina: I'm just teasing. But mito, Narumi and yes, even you Karin. You 3 are my world, you are worth more to me than money, so if buying a nice dress, or a rare book makes you happy? Then I'll happily buy them for you all. Money can be replaced, your happiness is priceless, and never forget that.

days later, with Naruto

*we see Naruto excited, why you may asked? Because he was on an adventure! We see him wearing loose-fitting, lightweight clothes made out of the breathable material cotton, and he was also one shade lighter in skin color with all the sunblock his mother put all over his body. He was with his mother, his jiji, and his mother old work colleague as they walked through the desert walking to the village hidden in the sand Suna. Hiruzen was having a miserable time already. He was sweaty, the humidity was hitting his face, and they didn't have any cold water to speak off. The only consolation was that they could see the Gates of suna at a distance*

Naruto: So! Why are we here, jiji?

Hiruzen: konoha and our ally villages are all gonna meet up and discuss business. And unfortunately, it's Suna's turn to host it. Kami, they better have something cold in that village,  or I swear....

*Hiruzen tried to say, as he had 2 anbu shinobi fanning him. But he was interrupted by Naruto walking backward as she looked at his grandfather with the brightest of smiles, which did make his mood get better, if only a little.*

Naruto: Cool! So you're gonna be all tough and show them why konoha is the best village, right?!

Hiruzen: Hehe. That's right. And I have a very special mission for you, Naruto

*Hiruzen said, making anko give him a bit of a side eye. But the huge gasp Naruto gave and the bright smile, distracted hiruzen from noticing that. Naruto was so excited that he was trembling with anticipation for what this mission may be.*

Naruto: gasp! A shinobi mission?!

Hiruzen: Heh. Sure. A shinobi mission. Your first mission will be to get your hokage something cold

*hiruzen said with a smile. Anko snorted since she knew she would be the one to find it and just guide Naruto there so he could get the credit. Not that she minded with how happy it made him*

Naruto: Alright! I'll find the coldest thing ever!

Hiruzen: kami, I hope you do. I hate this heat, i swear next time it's Suna's turn. I'm faking being sick.

*hiruzen complained, acting a bit like a child, as they made it to the entrance.  The guards at the gate same like the guards at the gates of konoha, were sleeping on the job, since there was nothing much to do, no one would be stupid enough to attack them so deep in the desert. Hiruzen coughed loud enough to wake the two guardsman up.*

Tanaka: name and reason for visit!!

Hiruzen: Hiruzen sarutobi. The 3rd hokage of konoha, I'm here for an alliance meeting. Will be here for a fortnight

*Hiruzen said in a tone full of authority. Tanaka nodded and started writing the paperwork to let hiruzne and the anbu inside. The other guardsman looked at anko, holding her son in her arms. He moved his head so that anko would speak*

Anko: Anko mitarashi, here on vacation with my son Naruto Mitarashi. We will be here for a fortnight as well

Hitomi:.....really? You picked suna for vacation? Why?

*Hitomi said totally befuddled that someone actually came here for a vacation. He loved his village....he tolerated his village, and even he couldn't think why anyone would want to have a vacation in this village. Anko, for her part, shrugged and said the truth why she was there.*

Anko: it was cheap?

Hitomi: Fair enough. Welcome to Suna

*hitomi said, writing on a few papers and giving them to anko. Since anko was here as a civilian, they didn't have to write nearly as much as with hiruzen. Anko looked at Hiruzen smugly as he started to walk away, leaving Hiruzen there for another 15 minutes of paperwork*

Anko: I'm gonna take my son to the closest playground. Have fun, Hokage~

Hiruzen: If Naruto wasn't with you, I would be cursing you out right about now.

*hiruzen said with a grumble, as both anko and Naruto stucked their tongues out at Hiruzen before they left. Hiruzen sighed and looked at Tanaka, who had a pile of papers that were becoming bigger*

Hiruzen" Why me...."

15 minutes later

Tanaka: And done! Welcome to the village hidden in the sand, Suna. I hope you enjoy your stay, next!

Hiruzen: Thank you

*hiruzen said with a tired sigh as he began to walk away, and he almost did until he froze when he heard a voice. A voice he knew all too well, a voice that brought a cooled down anger to rise up again*

Kushina: Hello. Kushina uzumaki party of 4

*kushina said with a smile, not noticing hiruzne with all the clothes he and the anbu have on. Hiruzen moved his pinky, and one of the anbu disappeared, already understanding his mission. To spy on kushina and to make sure she doesn't get anywhere close to Naruto *

With said anbu

*he waited for the uzumaki women to finish up with the paperwork and come inside

Kakashi: Well, if this isn't a pleasant surprise, I don't know what is. Hello kushina

*Kakashi said with his one eye smile waving at kushina. Kushina looked surprised, seeing the final of her husband's students standing in front of her. She walked up to him, with her children walking from behind her*

Kushina: Kakashi? What are you doing here?

Kakashi: helping a lady find her cat. I somehow ended up here by the end of it. So. This must be mito, Narumi and...hello. Who are you?

*Kakashi said with a kind close eye smile looking at Karin, Karin pushed up her glasses at Kakashi as she spoke, with a blush on her face, she totally wasn't struck by how pretty this silver eye boy looked, no, no, of course not.*

Karin: I.. I'm Karin uzumaki. I..I'm a. Cousin of mito and narumi

Kushina: Yes. It's a long story. Want to join us to our hotel and talk about it?

*kushina asked with a smile of her own. She can still see Kakashi as a little gennin in front of him. Kakashi nodded and walked with kushina, already knowing what he'll be doing in the fortnight that he'll be in Suna. In his own way, protecting Naruto.*

Meanwhile, with Naruto

*we see him and anko. In the playground, anko was drinking a gourd of water in the shade while she watched over Naruto. As always, the boy managed to find kids to play with him at an alarming rate. Anko chuckled softly, at the thought that just came to her head*

Anko" My baby boy, could start a whole ass cult with how charming he is."

Naruto: ok! Let's play tag!

*Naruto said brightly as the group of children all nodded or yelled in agreement. Whoever this blonde kid was, he managed to make them all agree to play together. Of course, they were too young to question how he's so charismatic*

Wada: Sure, sounds like fun!

Naruto: Wait, hold on. There's someone there, I'm sure he'll like to play too

*Naruto said, running to an alleyway, anko leaned forward on the bench, the sun hitting her face, but it was worth it, since she could see Naruto, if the boy goes inside the alleyway, she'll had to interfere. Naruto, for his part, smiled at the darkness of the alley, knowing someone was there he caught the red head looking at them for a second before it hid again*

Naruto: Hi! Let's play together

Gaara:.....

* Out of the shadows, came a small boy a little bit smaller in height to Naruto, with dark red hair, dark circles under both eyes, very pale almost ghostly white skin, and he had a small tattoo on his forehead. Gaara looked at this kid nervously scared. Since it's obvious he's not from Suna, he's not scared o him. Naruto waved at the boy to come out to the light more, but he didn't move, still unsure of this yellow haired boy*

Meanwhile, with anko

*anko, seeing the parents grabbing their kids and leaving, was confused, so she grabbed one mother before she left and looked at her. The woman looked a mix of annoyed and afraid, for anko stopping her from leaving*

Anko: yo, you. Why the hell is everybody leaving?

Mika: That boy. That red-haired boy is a demon!

*Mika whispered harshly, yanking her hand away from anko's and holding her daughter tightly. She could tell that anko was a tourist, so she decided to stay a bit longer to warn her. But not too long, since she doesn't want to put her own child in danger. Anko looked at Mika as if she grew a second head*

Anko:... what the heck are you smoking? And can you tell me where you got it, case that's gotta be some strong stuff, if you're seeing a 5 year old boy as a demon

Mika: No, no, you don't understand. That boy. He's got the soul of the demon. The one tail jinjuriki. He's a monster waiting to happen.

*mika said, walking away with her daughter as fast as possible. Anko's eyes widened, and she watched Naruto grab the red-haired boy's writ, dragging the boy with him*

Anko" so. He's like Naruto, huh? No. Not like Naruto. Naruto has people who love him.  I can see it from here. The boy's eyes. Their like mine so long ago. Heh. But just like me, it looks like Naruto is gonna cure that loneliness. "

*anko thought, as she remembered when she was Gaara. How people didn't trust her because she was the favorite lab rat of orochimaru. How no one wanted anything to do with her. And how quickly that changed when she got Naruto in her arms. Suddenly, the public didn't see the favorite project of Orochimaru.  But anko Mitarashi, the single mother who loves her son. So unlike kushina, anko just smiled and let the two jinjuriki play with each other without a problem. Since unlike the red-haired woman who'll have to kill her before she gets anywhere near her son. Anko knows the difference between a scroll and a kunai. And right now? She's seeing two scrolls playing together.*

Back to Naruto

Gaara:....

Naruto: I'll take that as a yes. Ok! Let's go!

*Naruto said and took gaara completely by surprise when Naruto grabbed his wrist and dragged him with him back to the park what shocked him more was that the sand wasn't attacking the boy. To Naruto's surprise, when he made it back to the park with the red-haired boy, everyone else but his mother left. Since they saw who Naruto was talking with, they wanted nothing to do with him. Naruto looked around confused, on why everyone left*

Naruto: Huh? Where did everybody go?

Gaara:.....

*gaara still didn't speak, looking down sadly since he knew why they all left. They left because of him, and they left because they were scared of him, scared of the monster that he is. He was about to pull his hand away from the yellow boy's grip when the boy took gaara by surprise*

Naruto: Oh well, let's just play the two of us!

Gaara: You... want to still play with me?

*Gaara said, surprised, so surprised that he actually showed an emotion other than sadness, genuine surprised, and the smile the yellow haired boy gave him, made the little red haired boy feel butterflies in his stomach*

Naruto: uhu! But what can we play.... oh! I know! Let's see how high we can get on the swing!

*Naruto said excitedly, dragging Gaara on the swing sitting him down on the seat, and Naruto climbed on behind him, they started to swing, with Naruto doing all the momentum, like any child or adult with a child at heart, Naruto tried to swing over the bar to make a full circle.*

Naruto: Almost there! It's just a bit more of a push!!

* Naruto said with the brightest of smiles. Gaara, seeing this boy be happy around him, confused him deeply. He was feeling so many different emotions and emotions he hadn't felt before in his life. He didn't know how to make sense of them. And how could he? He was too young to understand it. Too young to understand that he was feeling happiness, a nervous, butterfly filled type of happiness. Gaara was too young to understand it, but for the first time since he was born, Gaara was feeling what it feels like to be a 5 year old kid, and he was smiling. Gaara was happy.*
