Minato p.o.v.

The two parents and son were walking on the street heading home when a thought came across Minato’s mind

“Wait did you said that you know about us being your parents when you’re fifteen. So how old are you now?” Minato asked looking at his son.

“I’m 16 years old dad. Why?” Naruto said innocently. They already arrived at the front gate of the house. Me and my girlfriend looked at my son in disbelief. Why you ask? It’s because he’s to small for his age. Did anyone even help on looking after him? He looked malnourished with how little meat was under his skin.

Getting inside the house we both pull him into the kitchen but seeing him flinched make me stop and looked at him. I remember when he said there were war going in the future and he’s the only one that survived. I mad at myself for not noticing this before. He has just returned from a hurt breaking war that killing his friends.

“Come Naruto let’s find something to eat in here”  Kushina said trying to soothe the situation. I can see how sad Kushina is seeing their son’s struggle like that.

“Hey Naruto, it’s alright you’re save here. Me and your mom is here with you. You don’t need to always keep your guard up. You’re home now.”
Hearing this he started to break down, crying his eyes out. It broke my heart seeing him wailing like this.

Naruto p.o.v

Hearing that I couldn’t help it anymore. I started to cried my eyes out, letting out the bottle up feeling inside me.

“It was so hard Dad, I couldn’t do anything without letting my guard down everywhere I turn there’s enemies attacking me, I tried so hard to protect my friends, but the enemy were everywhere. There’s no time to sleep or eat or even taking a leak they will come to ukill you. The Toad called me the child prophecy but even I couldn’t help but became overwhelmed by it. I had to lead the war after my sensei died. I was just sixteen but everything I do I can’t help but to think about my comrades first. But that was not enough. Everyone has died.

There’s no way to tell who’s friends and who’s foe. The enemy has this weird ability to copy exactly the same ability and the same amount of chakra that we have and could even look exactly like us. The only way to find out is when I’m in my Sage Mode. But still I couldn’t save my friends. And then when we thought  there’s hope on winning the war the final boss came out. They were extracting the Nine Bijuu around the nation just turned out to have those collected chakra turned into The Ten Tails. We have to fight against it leaving everything in the vicinity to destroy, the mountains has been flatten and the sea became a big pile of grave for the fallen. Everywhere I go I  would be standing on my friends carcasses. Even when I’ve won, it would mean nothing. Everyone I know died. I couldn’t save them even with Kurama's helps.”, I wails against Dad when he hugged me. We just sit there on the floor while he whispering sweet nothings in my ears. Kurama also help soothing me down in my mindscape saying it was not my fault and all. Mom just letting me there providing some refreshment for me to try to calm me down until I've finally fall asleep on my Father .

Kushina p.o.v

Hearing my son wailing like that broke my heart. He’s just a kid and he already shouldering such a heavy burden. Just what have he been through to make him broke down so hard like that. My God, please help my son.

“Why don’t you let him sleep in your room I’ll prepare another room for him after he wakes up.”, I told Minato. He stand up and carried Naruto to his room not saying anything clearly disturbed by the situation with his son. Well I can’t say anything about that even I can’t help but feeling sick thinking a kid has to lead a war all by himself and shouldering the weight of the loss against the war destroying his inner self with it. It was just to much to take in all of that.

Luckily no one would be able to hearing or spying on us because of the privacy seal and silencing seal that both Minato and I applied around the house.
