The Prodigy Namikaze by SoulReaperCrewe

Chapter 14 Summoning

Two Years Later

A thirteen year old Naruto sprinted along the rooftops as he headed away from the Hokage Building.

He had just finished a week long mission away with a three formation team who were sent to take care of two aligned bandit camps that had been causing some problems up north of Konoha. The mission was easy and the people he worked with were friendly enough with Naruto, not really caring much that he was just a kid like some others acted.

A fair few times some of the other chunin Naruto went on missions with would complain how they got stuck with a kid, the Hokage's son or not and thought that Naruto would drag them down.

Quickly though Naruto proved them wrong and he quickly showed them why he had become a chunin. He got no more complaints afterwards.

Itachi was not around much since Itachi was usually on separate missions, confined to the Uchiha compound since Fugaku wanted to make sure his prized Uchiha son did not sully himself with others too much or was getting ready to head into the Anbu forces.

Anko as well he did not see as much as he would like since she had taken a keen interest in the Torture and Interrogation Division that was headed by the sadist Ibiki Morino. She quickly impressed the head of the division and was quickly making a name for herself.

Though they did go on a few missions from time to time, it was not as many as he would have liked since they were his original teammates.

Though one good thing that he was looking forward to was that the trio were beginning to decide to move out of their current homes and move in together.

The three had done mission after mission to afford a nice three bedroom apartment where they could live together since Anko wanted to have some company and not live on her own so much anymore. They were putting what money they could spare to one side which would help pay for a nice, decent place for them. Most of their money went into their training equipment, new clothing etc.

While Naruto and Itachi wanted their space from their family since Fugaku and some of other clan members of the Uchiha Clan were pushing Itachi down a path he did not want while Naruto felt suffocated by his parents. They figured they would look around for a year before settling with a place that the three of the made.

Since the big confrontation after the chunin exams two years ago, Minato and Kushina had done everything to try and make it up to Naruto but the blonde boy was just not interested. They were doing it out of pity and pity was the last thing he ever wanted from them.

After seeing Naruto in the chunin exams they wanted to find out just how strong he was and how he got so strong in such a short time.

Both were gob smacked when they were told from people like Tsunade, Mikoto and Hiruzen that Naruto was truly a prodigy and a genius of both natural talent and of hard work.

Their son had been a once in a lifetime genius and prodigy alongside Itachi Uchiha and neither had even noticed.

Since then both wanted to help Naruto in his training but it never went very well.

Minato constantly asked him whether he wanted help with his Fuinjutsu and each time Naruto rebuffed him saying he was fine on his own and that he could handle it. He never saw the sad and sorry look Minato would give his distant son.

Kushina however was the worst. Since that day, she had tried to cling to him and bring her baby boy back to her but Naruto stood away every time. She wanted to help him with Kenjutsu multiple times but like Minato, she got rebuffed. It had made her sad that her son did not want her help but then again she realized that it was probably what she deserved.
