Good Father

A Gift !

Welcome back, guys!!

let's go into the story ;)

--------------------------

Naruto stayed silent before Kurenai asked, "Who are you here for?"

Naruto looked at her shorter figure and smiled sadly, "My parents. I came to ask them a question and maybe I could get an answer, but nothing has come to mind."

Little Asuma by this time had grown a little bored and turned to find his mother behind him. He noticed she was talking to Naruto and bounded over and latched onto his mother's legs and looked at the tall figure of Naruto.

Naruto looked down and noticed the little guy looking up at him with round red eyes and he smiled down at him. He looked at Kurenai and asked silently for permission and she nodded. He crouched down and came eyes to eye with little Asuma and said, "How are you doing Asuma-kun?"

Like the little kid he was, Asuma skipped over the questions and asked his own, "Is it true that you saved this village?"

Naruto chuckled and looked up at his mother who had the decency to look away with an embarrassed blush. He turned back to Asuma who was looking at him with admiration and wonder, "I wouldn't say that, but many people think I did. I'll tell you when you're older okay Asuma-kun?"

Asuma nodded and shouted, "Yeah, yeah!"

Naruto chuckled again, "So Asuma-kun, how old are you?"

Asuma put up his little hand and extended four fingers for emphasis and yelled happily, "I just turned 4 two weeks ago!

Naruto shook his head in amusement, "Happy belated birthday then. So, what did you wish for?"

Asuma smiled and shook his head, "I can't tell you or it won't come true."

Naruto laughed and patted him on the head, "Okay how about what do you want to be?"

Asuma immediately shouted, "I want to be a ninja like you, mommy, and daddy!"

Naruto smiled and pulled out a senbon needle from his belt, "Have this. This is called a senbon needle and don't touch the point, it's sharp. Don't throw it either and keep it away from other people. Practice with it and get better okay?"

The little boy wrapped his hands around the needle and looked at it in awe through his hands, "Thank you Naruto-san!"

Naruto smiled at the boy's enthusiasm, "Don't worry about it. Grow up and be a great ninja okay? If you need help when you're older, come find me okay?"

The boy nodded vigorously while he played with the needle, "Yes Naruto-san!"

"Maa, maa, no need for Naruto-san. Naruto is just fine Asuma-kun," Naruto said as he picked up the boys senbon needle that he had dropped. He began to show Asuma what he could do with the senbon needle as he tossed it into a tree a few feet away.

Kurenai watched their little rapport with interest and saw the happy look on Asuma's face. He watched in awe and curiosity as Naruto did several different things that amazed even Kurenai herself. She couldn't help but notice that Naruto was attractive, but that wasn't the biggest thing she noticed. She noticed how good he was for Asuma who always wanted a father figure in his life. He had those traits about him that just drew kids to him and they liked him for it. She smiled as she saw Asuma jump on Naruto who toppled over and they started laughing as they rolled around on the ground.

Naruto smiled at Kurenai and said, "The little guy is hungry. His stomach grumbled just now." To emphasize the point, it rumbled again.

Asuma blushed before he yelled, "I'm not little!"
