Dreamscape Flashback
Naruto and his mother Satsuki were walking towards the Naka River. He could see the distasteful looks his own clansmen were throwing his way.
"Look it's the traitor family"
"It's that Genjuro's spawn and his wife."
"Sacrificial lambs... That's all that family is good for!"
"Why are they still allowed to live in the compound after the shame they brought?"
"Naru-chan?" Naruto was broken out of his thoughts and found two kind blue eyes looking into his own cerulian pools. "Is something wrong?"
"Gomen kaa-chan." Naruto spoke with a sad look on his face. "I know you and Nii-san told me to ignore what everyone says about us but... Sometimes the things they say... It hurts so much." Naruto finished as a small sad look formed on his face. True his brother always said that shinobi restrain their emotions, but this was hard sometimes.
Words...hurt more than actions.
Satsuki came down to his level and pulled him into a soft hug. Even Naruto knew that his mother's health was not too well. She was not as strong as she used to be. Often times he had to go to the Hospital with her to get her a thorough checkup and come back home with bags of medicine that helped soothe her condition. Shisui worked overtime in the ANBU Black Ops to get more funds to find out if there was a cure to his mother's disease that was slowly eating away at her.
"Naru chan... Never pay attention to what the villagers or the clansmen ever talk about you." Satsuki said with a sad smile. "You're tou-san and Obito nii-san were heroes of the Leaf... Always remember that sochi."
"H-Hai Kaa-chan." Naruto tightened the hug on his mother and clung to her like a lifeline. After Shisui, she was the only family that Naruto had.
"Sochi would you like to see your tou-san and nii-san again?" Satsuki smiled and activated her Sharingan. Naruto shook his head and blurted out a no immediately. He then hugged his mother even tighter.
"It's okay Kaa-chan." Naruto said as he suppressed a sob. Sometimes Satsuki would perform Tsukuyomi to show him illusions of his father and Obito, he would laugh at how both of them were goofballs at times. Satsuki's Tsukuyomi was very powerful and at times felt like a separate reality itself. However Naruto also knew that the strain it caused on her mother was too much and any further complications would make her even weaker. "I already know what they were like... Besides I have you and Nii-san... That's all I really need."
He released the hug and looked at his mother with a kind smile on his face. She cupped his cheeks and gently kissed his forehead.
"My little Naru chan... You're going to be a fine man when you grow up." Satsuki then stood up as Naruto held her hand and walked towards their destination. Suddenly a soft tug was felt on Naruto's shoulder. He turned around to see Shisui standing there with a goofy grin on his face.
"Yo outoto." As soon as Shisui said this Naruto pouted cutely. He hated the fact that Shisui could easily sneak up on him.
Of course this was Shisui the Teleporter known for perfecting the Shunshin no Jutsu to a new level. Hell he left afterimages because of his proficiency.
"Aww is little Naru mad I sneaked up on him again?" Shisui asked with a cheeky smile. Naruto was now annoyed and Satsuki was giggling at the interaction between her sons.
"One of these days Nii-san. One of these days you'll see just how strong I become. Then you won't be able to sneak up on me anymore." Naruto said with his chest heaving with pride.
