NARUTO FLASHBACK: MEETING SAKURA; TOLD IN THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW

"Naruto!" 

"Naruto!"

"Oi, Naruto?"

"YOU BRAT OF A CHILD GET DOWN HERE NOW!" Kushina Uzumaki-Namikaze yelled. Naruto shot straight up, shivering in fear. He hurriedly made his bed, and ran down the stairs, meeting the spawn of Satan himself. Looking behind the terrifying figure, Naruto saw his father, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, under the table, rocking himself back and forth and mumbling 'Save me dear lord.'

Naruto gulped. Then he looked at the demon, who's long hair was now separated in nine sections, flying wildly. The once sweet face now had a twisted grin. A ladle was in the right hand, positioned in a dangerous angle.

Naruto screamed and ran.

"OI, YOU IDIOT! NEXT TIME I CALL YOU YOU BETTER REPLY WITH A YES OKAASAN! THE FIRST TIME, IDIOT! HEAR ME?" His mother yelled. Naruto screamed louder as Kushina began to chase him.

She finally got his arm, and bore her eyes into her sons.

"Now, Naruto! What do you say when I when I call you to wake up and eat breakfast?" Kushina said in a sweet voice that didn't sound very sweet.

"Y-yes, O-O-Okaasan?" Naruto said, swallowing his fear. Then Kushina brightned into a smile and ruffled his hair.

"Right! Now go eat, its you're favorite!" Kushina cheerfully said. Naruto looked in shock, then slowly walked to the table. Minato crawled out, putting a thumbs up to see if it was safe to get out. Naruto nodded and the two sat down. Kushina went to the kitchen to fill up Narutos bowl of rice, egg and another bowl of miso soup.

Naruto made sure his mom was out of sight before he talked to his dad.

"Hey, Oto-chan. Why'da marry mom if she terrifies you so much? You're the Fourth Hokage and you're hiding under the kitchen table from her. Pathetic, if you ask me, dattebayo." Naruto said with a sly look. Minato hung his head down, embarrassed and depressed that his son has no respect for him and had to see his one weakness.

Looking behind him, he made sure Kushina was out of sight before he spoke. But he held his gaze on his wife, smiling. She was humming to a song that was played at their wedding. Then he looked back at his son, who was still a bit confused.

"Because, every time I see your mom, for some reason I cannot explain, and that only fate knows that answer, I fall in love with her again, If she smiles, if she sings. If she makes food for us, scolds you, laughs, cries, everything. Just being near her makes me so very happy." Minato said, a hazy look falling over his face. Naruto cupped his face in his hands, still a little confused. Minato chuckled at his sons expression.

"One day, you'll find someone just like her. Someone who'll make you happy without even them knowing it." Minato said. 

"I hope so..." Naruto mumbled, then quickly shut up, turning beet red,. Minato burst out laughing. Kushina came in, setting Narutos breakfast on the table and gave a smirk. Pulling a seat out and flopping into it, she spoke.

"Whats making you father dying of laughter, and you bright red?" Kushina asked. Naruto looked up and gave a glare to his dad.

"Its, its nothing Kaa-san. Tou-chan just thinks everything about you i-" Suddenly Minato stopped laughing and  slapped his hand over Narutos mouth, breaking into a nervous sweat. Naruto tried to get the hands off with no success, the grip become tighter.
