The Namikaze Legend

Chapter 4

A Mother's Love.

Naruto sat alone in the small training ground of his house.

It wasn't very big, just a small terrain which included a small lake. There were lots of trees around with training dummies. They must probably be for target practice.

He had seen his mother practice with her Shurikenjutsu many times. His father also some times trained here.

His thoughts then drifted back to the talk which he had with his father. He didn't hate his father, he still cared about him, but it was just too painful for him to bond with him again.

He only wanted to spend time with his father. He always heard people say how great his father was, but in reality he didn't know the man much as he was almost never there in his life.

Naruto was trying to understand that his father was trying to make his way back into his family but he wasn't too comfortable with having his father around, after spending almost 3 years without him.

He thought about his dream of protecting his younger brother at any cost.

In truth he knew he was weak, he was not a shinobi like his father and mother. He knew if something ever happened then he wouldn't be able to protect Itachi.

Should he become a shinobi? What purpose would he have besides protecting Itachi?

He was interrupted from his thoughts when someone hugged him lovingly from the back. The hands of that person was soft and the aura that was radiating off that person made Naruto very comfortable and at peace.

There was only one person in the entire world who could make him feel like this.

"Kaa-chan..." said Naruto warmly

He went to turn around to face his mother but she restricted his movements and hugged him more tightly. Naruto got a little confused.

"Shhh...Just stay with me like this." said Mikoto lovingly

A contended smile came on Naruto's face, he felt happy. All those doubts, negative feelings he was having were slowly fading away with each passing moment.

It was as if his mother was taking away all his pain and filling him with her love.

He slowly rested his head gently on his mother's chest and put his hands on her soft hands. It was evening and the sun was setting, the entire scene was just beautiful for Naruto.

He didn't know what he would do without his mother.

For him she was perfect. She was kind, caring, gentle and even strict when necessary.

She always took care of all of them, gave them healthy food, looked after their health, became worried when they were injured.

She was the center of the family and all of their lives revolved around her.

Naruto didn't know if he loved his brother more or his mother. Both of them were precious to him.

Meanwhile Mikoto was gently caressing her son's blonde hair. She had heard the entire conversation between Minato and Naruto. Even though she was busy healing Itachi's sore ankle, her entire focus was on Naruto's talk with Minato.

She was very upset with the fact that things had gotten this worse between her husband and elder son.

She knew Naruto was not to blame for any of this. Any child of his age would behave like this, also her son was a logical person. So she knew he wouldn't forgive Minato just like that.

She felt very sad on thinking about how much pain her son was in.

"Hey Kaa-chan.." said Naruto slowly

Mikoto was interrupted from her train of thoughts, she looked at Naruto curiously.

"I didn't sense your presence when you arrived." said Naruto in confusion

"What do you mean?" asked Mikoto curiously

"I can always feel people's presence when they are around me." explained Naruto simply.

"A sensor!" thought Mikoto surprisingly

"Naru-chan, try to concentrate now and tell me what do you feel?" asked Mikoto softly

She was pretty much sure her son had a very unique ability. Sensor ninja were very rare, and were extremely useful in the village armies. They could work in recon units, communication units not to mention in full combat squads.

Sensors were one of the most unique and deadly ninja as they could predict an attack before it is launched.

Naruto gave an affirmative nod and closed his eyes. He then slowly tried to concentrate in order to feel what was around him.

At first nothing happened for a few moments, his eyebrows twitched a bit when he was not met with success.

"One more time." thought Naruto with determination

This time he gave his utmost concentration, still he couldn't feel anything around him.

"Its not working Kaa-chan.." said Naruto sadly

"Oka-" said Mikoto gently but was cut off when Naruto raised his voice.

"Wait...I feel something." said Naruto surprisingly

"What is it?" asked Mikoto curiously, she was very ea
