When the monitor went black, they were all enveloped by silence. When suddenly, Jiraiya, the Toad Sannin, looked at the blonde-haired young boy in front of them. His face became serious when he turned his head to Anna.

"Can I ask?" He started and that's when Anna and the others looked at him.

"You're already asking." Anna deadpanned and her companions nearly choked her. When she suddenly smiled at him.

"Just kidding. But oh well, what's your question? Is it directed to me or....to...someone?" She finished her sentence  by that as she saw Jiraiya looking intently at Naruto.

"You already know it. It's directed to that young fellow beside you. " He answered as the former just nodded her head.

They all looked at the blond-haired boy because he was the only one beside Anna. Kakashi, Sakura, and Sasuke were behind the two. Naruto blinked his eyes two times and pointed his self.

"....me?" the boy asked, confused. The Sannin then nodded his head with still the serious face he was wearing.

"Well...what will you ask..?" Naruto rubbed the back of his head because of the nervousness he's feeling right now.  He can't explain it.  He suddenly felt nervous when his Master's serious face looked at him.

The people behind Jiraiya are all curious as well. Because, what would he want to ask a fellow from the Future? 

"What's your name again?" He asked and that was when the Future people got serious. A certain woman just shook her head as she already knew what was inside the Sannin's head by now.

"....Naruto." he answered quietly as he looked down. Minato and Kushina  got their eyes widened when they heard it.

'......Naruto.'

'......Naruto.'

Naruto....isn't that the name they have chosen to use for their unborn child in the future?

When suddenly, realization hit them all. They have heard the talks of the Future ones already and they kind of heard the name 'Naruto'. But they kind of forgot about it because they were so into the scenes in front of them. Kushina and Minato are still looking at Naruto, their future son, as the young yellow-haired boy scratched his cheek.

"Y-you're....my son. Our son...from the future." Kushina exclaimed as she's still looking straightly at Naruto. Naruto avoided his gaze to his parents and turned it to Anna with a 'pleasing' look. Anna looked at him with a little smile on her face, as she tapped the young boy's shoulder.

"You know you can't hide the truth while you are here, Naruto-kun. Learn how to face them. You're their son after all." she said, with a soft smile.

"Onee-sama is right, ya know." Sakura smiled sheepishly as she said the last words. Naruto cracked a smile and looked back at his parents and he was so shocked when he saw his mother,  Kushina, who is now crying. Naruto,  being himself, runs towards his mother and puts his two hands at Kushina's shoulder.
