Author note 1 : as it is tradition, it is 3 kings day, the day Puerto Rico celebrates the 3 kings that went to see the baby jesus. So y'all get an extra chapter.
Author note 2: If Sasuke seems a bit out of character in this chapter, it's because that part is a conversation I had on a YouTube comment section from a video of the youtube channel Ethan on everything and I'm a petty bitch
*It's been a few quiet days in the home of the Uzumaki family, since the revelations were revealed. Jiraiya had to leave for some business with his spy networks, Tsunade still hasn't returned from the village of sound, Narumi has been giving her mother the silent treatment, and Kushina has just been trying to keep things from crashing down on her and her family. But it wasn't just Kushina, whom Narumi has been ignoring, she has also been ignoring Mito and Karin for keeping her in the dark about this. She just stays in her room and only comes out to eat. So we see Mito and Karin together reading in the library until Mito finally asks a question she's been wanting to know since she found out the truth.*
Mito: what... what is naruto like?
Karin: very energetic, always smiling, and always talking in a good way. He loves a lot of people and he has no shame in saying it. Heh. On the second day, we met he screamed that "I love my new friend."
*Karin said with a small giggle that turned into a small smile now that she knew the familiar connection she and Naruto truly shared, those times where they spent time together and just read together, meant more to Karin than she cared to admit. That memory she just said even more so, since Naruto got scolded by the librarian for saying that but Naruto was just grinning as he got scolded. Mito gave a short nod as she liked her lips a little, as before she could even think about the words that came out of her mouth they just escaped.*
Mito: Do you think he'll love us too?
Karin: I have no doubt.
With Kushina
*We see her in front of the door that said "Narumi's room" with a neutral expression, as she was inhaling and exhaling softly, trying to gain confidence, and to keep herself mentally stable to face her daughter and her silent protest again. After a bit she knocked on the door, and waited a few moments before opening the door, seeing the back of her daughter, as she was sitting on the ground with a crayon in her hand.*
Kushina: Hey. What are you doing?
Narumi:....
*Narumi didn't respond to Kushina, barely even acknowledged her existence, by stopping what she was doing and then going back into drawing. Kushina remained calm as she walked up to her daughter and sat down next to her seeing what she was drawing. It was clearly a drawing of a boy, but Narumi did not have Naruto's artistic passion, so it looked like what an actual 5-year-old child's drawing would look like. Kushina just hummed as she saw Narumi grab the red crayon and start coloring Naruto's hair. Kushina spoke again as if Narumi responded.*
Kushina: Is that a drawing, of a boy? Are you drawing your brother?
Narumi:....
*Narumi didn't respond to what Kushina asked, she just kept drawing the picture, of how she thought Naruto looked. Kushina didn't say anything for a bit either, she just watched Narumi draw. She wasn't angry at Narumi for giving her the silent treatment, nor was she gonna punish her, this was just how Narumi expressed her anger at the situation, and Kushina understood that. But she still kept talking, as if Narumi could talk back to her. She placed her finger on the red hair of the drawing making Narumi scowl a little.*
Kushina: he doesn't have red hair like Mito. He has yellow hair like you.
Narumi:....
*Kushina said with a soft smile as she saw that response, got a reaction out of Narumi, and for a moment she looked happy. Kushina can't blame her, every one of the girls had red hair, Narumi was the only one with long beautiful yellow hair, which reminded Kushina of that period of time when Minato let his hair grow out... until her hair got caught on some branches and he swung in the tree by his hair. Kushina would've giggled at the memory, if it wasn't for Narumi's expression returning to normal, so Kushina gave her daughter a little more.*
