Naruto Mitarashi. The abandoned child of Kushina Uzumaki, left to die in the village, after his father's death. All because his mother thought he was a demon. Abandoned by his godfather, because he wasn't the child of prophecy, abandoned by his fath...
Author note: if your wondering why the extra chapter? He asked and I decided "fuck it, why not" so give a special thanks to them for asking. As usual its a one time thing, don't bother asking again.

But this also gives me a chance to announce that the genin arc if finally happening.... on patreon :D currently 13 year old Naruto is taking the shinobi tests and you can read it for 3 bucks. Till then? You'll see it in 2026 😂
Ok that's enough of me trolling let's start:
*It's been a few days since the last chapter, things were coming back to normal in Konoha, as people were allowed to come and go again as they pleased and the gates of Konoha were once again opened for those who could find it. The second Kushina heard that the gates were opened, she went running before they closed on her again. We see her currently in the reception area, frustrated as she argues with Hiruzen's assistant, Mura. Mura remained with a neutral expression as she spoke with Kushina.*
Mura: Yes. I know that you have an appointment for him today, but the Hokage is currently busy. You are going to have to wait until tomorrow.
Kushina: Do you have any idea how long it took me to get here? Only for the gates to be closed? And now that I was finally allowed in you're not gonna let me see him?!
*Kushina said loudly. She was trying not to act entitled, not to act like a Karen like the younger generation calls it, but it was hard. She just wanted to talk with Hiruzen to start the process of bringing Naruto back. But imagine her surprise when the gates were closed. That was fine, she could wait for a day or two. Imagine having to wait a fucking month. Only to finally make it, to finally be inside, and for the receptionist, to tell you that you're meeting was moved to another date. Mura remained without any concern, as she took a piece of paper and wrote something on it. She placed the paper on the table and slid it to Kushina.*
Mura: Ma'am, I understand you're frustration. Really I do. If you would just take this paper slip, tomorrow you will be the first one to see him.
Kushina: Argh. Fine. But he'd better be here tomorrow. I want my business taken care of as soon as possible.
*Kushina said with a deep sigh as she took the piece of paper and walked out of the Hokage Tower. Kushina looked around, she was stuck here till tomorrow, and she had nothing to do. She could go from orphanage to orphanage to try and find the one Naruto was staying at, but she could feel the anbu looking at her so she didn't do that. Instead, she started walking to a certain district. She got far too angered far too quickly last time, and Kushina was going to fix that.*
With Mikoto
*The woman was having a calm day, she was just watching some melodrama on TV. What was it about? Mikoto doesn't know, she was just flipping channels until she found something. But she thinks that the pastor slept with the wife, the husband, and the 18-year-old child of that family. Mikoto heard somebody knock on the door, with a sigh, she stood up and walked to the door, opening it and her eyes widened a little seeing Kushina there again.*
