**Tell me: Do you want a pairing? Or just Naruto by himself? If you want a pairing do you prefer mxm or mxf?

Enjoy! 😊

Naruto POV

Waking up was a surprise, I was so sure I would die today. The day of my birth, five short years of life before death.

"Kushina...his eyes!" Someone exclaimed. I looked to the person, vision still blurred out. 'Who is it?' I think closing my eyes and then reopening them. A tall man with blond hair and blue eyes was watching me. I couldn't read how he was feeling! That was a new one for me... Usually I could always feel it, the malice and anger. Plain disgust but not from this man, what was he feeling?

"Naru? Baby?" I heard a soft and sweet voice on my other side so I looked over. 'Who is she? She's so pretty.' I think my hand moving and going up touch her silky red hair. I flinch when she puts her hand to mine, covering it. I look at her hand then notice my mouth is open in awe. Nobody had ever touched his hand so gently and with such love. She hand her eyes closed and had put my hand to her cheek with her hand and hummed. "Naru." She whispers.

"We're so glad you're awake Naruto." The man says, I look back over to him and he's smiling a big cheesy smile with his eyes closed and looking happy as well.

"Naruto, can you talk baby?" The woman asks.

I look at her confused, 'Why are they so nice to me?' I think ignoring her question to think.

"Oh, that's right! We haven't introduced ourselves yet have we? I'm your mother." The lady says and I jolt away from her, 'My... Mother?!' I think. The man seems to of noticed my reaction so clears his throat, "I am your father, it's nice to finally speak with you young Naruto." He says. I feel tears and then shake because they both hug me tightly. I have never had parents, I live on the streets and am treated badly. I don't know how to react to kindness and love.

Third Person POV

Minato was expecting worse, from what he knew so far from the Third Hokage... Naruto didn't trust easily. He was happy when the small child let Kushina and himself hug him. Minato was suppressing his excitement as not to scare his little fragile child who had yet to speak.

Kushina was so happy, tears were covering her cheeks and she was smiling. Her little boy! No matter if he wasn't a baby anymore, she still felt like her heart was bursting with tons of love for him.

Minato became serious and cleared his throat, "Naruto, I'm going to ask you a couple questions and I'd like for you to please answer if you're able too." He says.

Naruto nods, looking up at his father. He was still cautious, he didn't know them after all. Minato clears his throat and looks at the five year old, "Show me if you can speak." He says.

Naruto opens his mouth, attempts to talk but then feels his throat. A pain had shot through it, he looked scared so Minato put up his hands. "It's okay, we'll take talking slow okay?" He tells him.

Naruto nods and Kushina taps his palm, "How about you tap your fingers against my palm once for no and twice for yes?" She suggests. Naruto nods and taps her palm with his tiny finger pads twice happily. She makes a sound of joy, and softly caresses his small cheek.

"Okay Naruto, are feeling any pain besides your throat?" Minato asks.

Naruto taps twice on Minato's open palm and then points to his stomach and then pats the back of his neck and down to his spine. He had to admit he was amused with the tapping of fingers to another's palm, skin to skin contact was electrifying! He'd hardly ever gotten to make contact with other humans, this was almost enough to distract him from being scared and in pain.
