Naruto react to the future

Chapter 3: Hidden Secrets Unveiled

As the Dimension Princess raised her hand once more, the shimmering projection screen flickered to life again. This time, it would reveal secrets from the past—truths that had been hidden away, now brought to light for all to see.

The screen displayed a scene from the past, showing the Hokage's office and the neglected state of baby Naruto. The characters watched intently as the scene unfolded, revealing Kurama stepping in to care for the infant.

Kurama, in his hybrid human form, cradled a tiny, crying Naruto in his arms. The baby's wails quieted as Kurama gently rocked him, whispering soothing words. "There, there, little kit," he murmured, his voice a deep rumble filled with unexpected tenderness. "You're safe with me."

The scene shifted to show baby Naruto, chubby and bright-eyed, reaching up to touch Kurama's face. His tiny hands patted Kurama's cheeks as he babbled happily. "Mama," he cooed, unable to pronounce Kurama's name. Kurama chuckled softly; his eyes filled with affection. "Not quite, little kit, but close enough."

Naruto's eyes widened in shock and confusion. "Kurama... you took care of me?"

Kurama stepped forward, his human form with fox ears and nine tails dressed in a traditional kimono. "Yes, Naruto. When the Fifth Hokage failed to care for you, I couldn't stand by and watch."

Sasuke's expression was one of surprise. "A tailed beast... showing such care?"

Sakura looked at Kurama with newfound respect. "You protected him all this time."

Hinata's eyes softened. "Thank you, Kurama."

Minato and Kushina watched with mixed emotions. Minato spoke first, "We entrusted him to the village, but it was you who truly protected him."

Kakashi's visible eye showed admiration. "You've always been there for him, Kurama."

Gaara nodded thoughtfully. "A bond forged in adversity."

The scene shifted to show Kurama in his hybrid form, caring for baby Naruto—feeding him, keeping him warm, and even playing with him. The deep bond between them was evident in every gesture.

Naruto's voice was filled with emotion. "I always felt like someone was watching over me... I just didn't know it was you."

Kurama smiled gently. "You've always been like a son to me, Naruto."

Sasuke's gaze softened as he watched the scenes. "It explains so much about your strength and resilience."

Sakura's eyes were misty. "You were never truly alone, Naruto."

Hinata placed a hand on Naruto's shoulder. "You had someone who cared deeply for you."

Kurama stood tall in his hybrid human form, a regal figure with long, flowing hair, fox ears, and nine tails. His kimono was richly decorated with traditional patterns, enhancing his majestic appearance. He moved with a grace that belied his immense power, his eyes filled with wisdom and compassion.

The screen changed to show other moments from the past, revealing secrets that had been hidden away. Each revelation was met with a mix of surprise, relief, and sometimes pain.

The screen displayed moments when Mikoto and Fugaku secretly watched over Itachi and Sasuke, even after death.

Itachi's eyes softened. "You never stopped caring." Sasuke's expression mirrored his brother's. "You were always with us."

Mikoto smiled gently. "We could never leave you." Fugaku nodded. "We've always been proud of you both."

The screen displayed a scene from the past, showing a young Deidara in Iwagakure. The village was under attack, chaos erupting all around. Explosions rocked the area as enemy forces advanced, and amidst the turmoil, a small, terrified Deidara, about 8 years old, could be seen trying to escape the destruction.
