The Missing Pieces(A Naruto Reader Insert)

Goro's Ending

Finally! This is the end. It felt complete to me but if it doesn't to you, please let me know.

-------------

Within two weeks and thanks to your wonderful husband, you three safety made it to the Hidden Leaf. As the three of you stood in front of the gates, your eyes trailed to Goro and your son/daughter. You hated having to make your child leave his/her friends behind but with a wide smile he/she showed that it did not bother him/her at all. Taking a deep bread and grasping Goro’s hand, you three continued to enter inside the village. As expected, the place was filled with happy individuals, there were children running, chasing another playing. People walked by chatting or simply buying what they needed.  

There was a chine in your son/daughter’s eyes as her/his eyes trailed around, unlike your former village, this one much bigger and or course it would catch [Child’s Name]. Shaking your head, you decided to stop by the ramen shop, if it still existed, and eat something. It has been a couple of days since the three of you ate something appetizing. “Before we do anything, why don’t we go and buy something to eat? I’m quite hungry.”

“That’s a great idea, come on [C/N]! Later we can show you around the village.” Goro announced to his kid as you started to walk towards the direction of the shop. Although the memory was a little foggy, you still managed to remember a little of the direction of it.

“So, this is where grandma and grandpa live?” Finally, your kid asked rather curious as his/her eyes stilled roamed the area around with curiosity.

Sadly, as much as you would have liked to leave the parts of your life that you simply wished to forget, you knew that it wasn’t wise to so do. [C/N] would eventually find out so you prevented yourself any issues and decided to tell her/him the whole story even about how you met Goro. Because even if you had suffered throughout your life, without him you wouldn’t be who you were and where you were. You did not regret meeting Goro, the man you loved and your amazing son/daughter. Sadly, you still spoke about your parents who, you guessed, still wanted nothing of you.  “Yes, that is, if they still live. But it would be best not to find them.” Placing a hand on his/her head, you shuffled his/her hair earning an unsatisfied ‘mom!’ from your kid.

Shaking a smirk with Goro, you all finally arrived at Ichiraku Ramen which surprisingly enough, looked the same. Content to see a few spots open, you three hurried it and took a seat. The person attending the restaurant was probably the owner’s daughter, not that you knew either of them as Naruto would. So, once you both took a seat, you ordered whatever you three wanted and began to eat. When your hunger was satisfied, you turned around standing up and ready to leave. However, you were met with the soft orbs of Iruka and Kakashi. They looked a little older and with a good reason, 12 years have passed after all.

A wide grin appeared on your face as you stepped forward while Goro and [C/N] stood back allowing you some space. The males simply watched your with wide eyes, rather surprised to see someone that they had never thought would eventually return. Offering a wide grin, you stepped forward and took a couple of minutes to greet them with a hug but they still had been in shock to return the action. Goro watched in silence as your action, and he could not ignore the pang of jealously. ‘[Name]?” Finally, the soft voice of Iruka asked now without the shock.

“Yeah, it’s so good to see the two of you.” You began but when their eyes shifted over your shoulders, you turned around and motioned for Goro and [C/N] to move forward. Goro gladly stepped forward, wrapping his arm around your waist while placing your son/daughter in front of the two of you. Goro simply greeted with his head but with a smile on his face as well. When Iruka’s and Kakashi’s eyes trailed to your kid’s face, they could not help but see the resemblance. He/she inherited Goro’s eye and hair color but he/she looked a lot like you. “Guys meet our son [C/N], [C/N], meet Iruka and Kakashi.”
