The Son of Two Heroes

Chapter 21

"Mom!?" Came the flabbergasted voices of Naruto and Sasuke. The two figures slowly stepped out of the coffins before they looked at each other.

"Kushina?"

"Mikoto?"

The two reanimations looked away from each other and stared at their children.

"Naruto....."

"My little Sasuke..."

The redhead burst into a wide grin at her son. "Honey...you're all grown up. Look at you, I never thought I'd get to see you again."

"Sasuke dear...how you've grown."

The youngest of the Uchiha brothers stared on in shock at his mother. "Mother..." His eyes turned hateful and he shifted his gaze to the Snake Sannin. "How dare you! I'll kill you!"

"Mom....I've wanted so bad to meet you...I know so much about you, but I never got to hear your voice." Naruto said as he smiled sadly at his mother.

Orochimaru launched forward and shoved control talismans in the necks of both women. He quickly interrupted the conversation. "How touching. But you can catch up while you kill each other."

Kushina stiffened before she launched forward at her son, a kunai in hand. "Naruto! Here I come be ready." The blond quickly drew a tri-prong and countered the strike. The man was a storm of emotions. He had finally got to see his mother, but he had to fight her. She kicked him in the stomach, and jumped away. Biting her thumb she swiped it over her forearm causing a seal to appear. In a puff of smoke, a black katana appeared. The hilt landed in her grip, and she looked sadly at her son. "Naruto....please be careful, I'm being forced to get serious."

"It's fine mom, I'm your son, I'll deal." He said gaining a serious look. He quickly took his fighting stance. The two launched forward and began another clash.

Meanwhile, Sasuke was in a predicament. He thought he was skilled with a sword, but it turned out he was nothing in comparison to his mother. He quickly brought his weapon to bare as the Uchiha matriarch brought a forceful slice down at his shoulder. The two locked blades, and their Sharingan eyes locked on each other.

"Mother....why did Itachi kill the clan?" Sasuke asked.

Mikoto was slightly taken aback by the question, but answered in kind. "My little Sasuke....." She said, swinging her sword around as the male jumped over the blade. "That is something I cannot tell you. Only Itachi can tell you why he slaughtered the clan. But I can tell you this my son." Sasuke was forced to leap away a she shot a massive fireball toward him. "Itachi loves you, unconditionally. My Sharingan had already read your mind when we locked eyes, and a saw everything. I don't know why Itachi chose the path he took, but one day....you should ask him my son." She finished launching another massive blast of fire toward him. The male Uchiha quickly countered with a fireball of his own. "Now focus! Things are about to get serious!"

"Right!" The raven haired man said, as he launched back into the battle with his mother.

"You fight a lot like your father, and you got his hair. Looks like you got my face and my verbal tic though. Sorry about that y'know!"

"Mother, I'm extremely happy I got your face, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen." Naruto replied as he was forced to dodge the sword that had attempted to pierce his back. As it turned out, his mother's chakra chains could wield her sword as if they were her hands.

"You've grown into a fine young man Naruto."

"Thank you mom."

"Naruto...." She said, dodging the impact of a Rasengan that was intended for her chest. "You need to stop holding back."
