Why? (Naruto Neglected Fanfic)✔️

Chapter 4

Shortly after they had hugged Naruto fell asleep on the couch once again, Sasuke and Sakura looked at the sleeping Naruto with worried looks.

"How could I have not seen that. Him being neglected by his own parents." Sasuke said above a whisper, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.

Naruto groaned and started to twist and turn mumbling slightly hearable words. Sasuke and Sakura turned their attention to the blonde. "NOOOOOOOO!!!!" Naruto abruptly yelled, he quickly sat up his uneven breaths were heard by everyone and cold sweat rolled down his cheek .

"Naruto, its ok, it was just a nightmare." Sakura said reassuringly, putting a hand on the blondes shoulder making him flinch.

Kit! Calm down! Its me Kurama. Kurama said trying to help.

After a few minutes, Naruto finally calmed down. He turned his head to see Sasuke's concerned expression and Sakura's soft, gentle smile. Naruto gulped put up a big, fake but convincing grin.

Sakura looked at Naruto. How can he still smile? She asked herself. Little did she know that Naruto had been putting up the same smile over and over again, for almost eleven years now.

"Naruto-kun, are you sure you're ok now?" Sakura asked with a worried expression plastered on her face.

"I'll be alright Sakura-chan." Naruto said attempting to get off the couch. He was then suddenly brought back down by a pair of hands.

"Oh no you don't mister." Naruto looked up to see Mikoto's stern expression.

"Well, I'll be taking my leave Mikoto." Mebuki announced. Both Mebuki and Sakura started to say their goodbyes to Sasuke and Itachi and Mikoto turned to Naruto.

Naruto hair shadowed his eyes. "What do you want?" He asked Mikoto in cold manner making Sakura flinch and Sasuke spill some water.

Sakura and Mebuki then left.

Once the door closed Mikoto sighed before taking a seat on a chair that Sasuke had prepared. "Thank you Sasuke." She said and Sasuke nodded.

Mikoto turned her head to Naruto whilst Itachi leaned against the wall next to the couch and Sasuke sat on the floor next to his mother. "We want you to answer our questions," Mikoto said, "and don't lie to us, you're in a safe place Naruto. You can trust us, ok?"

Naruto sat there, thinking for a moment. Then he sighed and looked at them. "Alright I'm listening." Naruto said.

"Where are Kushina and Minato?" Mikoto asked.

"At home...probably having a party." Naruto answered scowling at a memory of when his father announced that his younger twin siblings were now the heirs of the clan.

"Why are they not here for you?" This question caught Naruto off guard and he swallowed the lump in his dry throat.

"They..." he paused. 'You're in a safe place Naruto.' Mikoto's words rang in his head and he looked down at his hands. "They neglect me." Naruto finally admitted.

"The villagers torture me because I am the holder of the kyuubi," Naruto added, "I'm kinda used to it, it's been happening for awhile now."

Mikoto was now mad at her so called friend for neglecting their own son, she opened her mouth to say something. "I'm home." A raven haired man yelled cutting Mikoto off as he closed the door behind him.

Sasuke looked up and ran up to the man. "Otou-san! Welcome home!" Sasuke greeted Fugaku with a grin.

"Hello Sasuke, how have you been?" The man asked ruffling the Sasuke's hair, chuckling.
