Minato, Kushina, and the clan heads were sitting in the living room as their children played outside. Kushina crying into Mikoto's shoulder as Minato was pacing the floor, "Kami damn-it," Minato muttered as he rubbed his temples

"I'm sure he's fine, Minato. Don't worry so much," Choza said

"*Sigh* This is one troublesome birthday party," Shikaku said, leaning back on the couch. It was then that his wife, Yoshino, smacked him on the back of the head, "Shikaku!" Yoshino shouted as the Nara Clan Head rubbed his head

"Ow!"

"You need to learn sympathy! What if Shikamaru ran away from home after we gave away his clan rights?!" Yoshino screamed

"We both know he wouldn't really care all that much. Hell, I even thought about just skipping my place as Clan Head and giving it to my cousin when I was a genin. We'd get to sleep in more, do absolutely no paperwork, and have more freedom about what we do," Shikaku explained as Yoshino punched him in the nose, sending him off the couch and onto the floor

"Ow!"

"Yoshino, this is no time for violence," Choza said standing up and getting between her and Shikaku

"No, I deserve that," Shikaku said, sitting up

"Not saying you didn't," Choza replied. Yoshinari crossed her arms as she looked away from her husband. Choza sighed as he saw Inoichi get up from his seat and walk to the door, "Where are you going?" Tsume asked

"We're not going to find him if we just stand here complaining. I'm going out to find him," Inoichi replied, putting on his coat, "if my daughter upped and ran away, I wouldn't hesitate to even kill a man to find her," he spoke further, opening the door. Inoichi stood in the doorway for a few seconds, looking out into the front yard. Everyone looked at him as he turned his head, "Tsume, can you tell me who you sent out to find Naruto?" Inoichi asked

"Rogi, why?" Tsume asked

"What was his ninken partner?"

"A brindle dog, if I remember correctly, he was Akamaru's older brother," Tsume replied

"His name was Jomari," Kuromaru said, sitting up next to Tsume's chair, "and he's not much of a fighter. Always preferred tracking... and BBQ,"

"Well... he's sitting at the front gate," Inoichi said, pointing out into the front yard. Minato and Kushina ran toward the door, pushing Inoichi over, falling face-first onto the stairs, "SONVA-!" Inoichi shouted before Kushina stepped on his back, running out of the door. Kushina's eyes widened as she saw Naruto holding Jomari in his arms as he sat at the front gate. Kushina ran toward Naruto with tears in her eyes. But as she got closer, she felt something... different, about her son. She soon slowed down as an aura appeared in front of her, similar to that of... a monster.

Kushina then stopped in her tracks and began to shake in fear. This feeling soon disappeared as Naruto looked up from Jomari and said: "Mom... I'm hungry,"

"W-What d-do you want, sweetheart?" Kushina asked, calming down

"What do we have in the pantry?" Naruto asked

"W-Well, we ha-"

"Let me rephrase that. I want everything in the pantry," Naruto corrected himself, standing up with Jomari still in his arms. It was at this point that the clan heads gathered outside and saw Naruto walking toward them. But it was Kuromaru who was surprised to see only Jomari, but not because he was alone, but because Naruto was carrying him without any struggle, 'Jomari weighs nearly 100 pounds! How can an 8-year-old carry him without any struggle! He's carrying him like he's as light as a feather!' Kuromaru thought as he watched Naruto march by him and into the house.

Naruto burped, covering his mouth with his arm as piles of plates and bowls were stacked in front of him. Everyone was astonished at the amount of food Naruto ate as all the cupboards were bare trying to satisfy his hunger. Naruto got out of his chair as he bowed, "Thank you for the food," Naruto said, making Kushina gulp

"S-Sweetheart? How about you go outside and play while us adults talk, huh?" Kushina asked

"Alright," Naruto replied, leaving the clan heads and his parents to talk. As Naruto closed the door behind him to the back-yard, Kushina turned to Minato and asked: "Minato, did you notice anything... different?"

"No, not really. He does kinda give off a bad vibe, but I think that's sorta explainable," Minato replied

"Are you sure? I could've sworn that he looks like he got a tan,"

"So? I've got a natural skin color like that," Minato stated. But Before Kushina could press further, the back-door opened up, "MOM! HELP!" Sasuke shouted as he ran inside

"What's wrong, Sasuke?" Mikoto asked, kneeling down and getting to eye-level with her son

"I-It's Naruto! Kiba hit him and I don't know why!" Sasuke explained as Tsume rushed to the back door to see Kiba hovering over Naruto, who was on the ground

"SAY THAT AGAIN, BRANCH BITCH!" Kiba shouted

"I said, Rogi was a worthless human being," Naruto replied as he stood up, "and you got lucky with that cheap shot,"

"ROGI IS A GREAT MAN AND A GREAT NINJA! I'M GOING TO SURPASS HIM ONE DAY AND BECOME HOKAGE AFTER YOUR EX-FATHER KICKS THE BUCKET!" Kiba screamed. And as Kiba went to punch Naruto again, Tsume ran to Kiba and reached out to grab his arm. But she stopped as she saw Naruto stomp on Kiba's foot.

And as Kiba reeled back in pain, Naruto took a step back and used the same foot to kick Kiba in the jaw.

Kiba flew into the air, doing a back-flip as Naruto put his hands into his pockets. Naruto tilted his head as he saw Kiba fall to the ground unconscious. Naruto walked over to Kiba's fallen form as he kicked him in the side of the ribs. There was a crack as Kiba suddenly started screaming, "GAHHHH!"

"I just broke your short ribs, quit crying," Naruto said, striking Kiba's nose and kicking him in the throat, "now shut up before I put you down, mutt." Naruto then turned around and walked up to Tsume, "I apologize for hurting Kiba, I'll accept any punishment you give me," he said, bowing. Tsume stood there in awe, looking at both her injured son and the seemingly unharmed Naruto. Thinking about what she's supposed to do, she gritted her teeth as she said: "No... I won't punish you if anything... I should be thanking you,"

"Hm?"

"Kiba's been cocky as of late, so this should bring him back down to earth. So... thanks," Tsume explained. Naruto gained a puzzled look on his face, watching Tsume walk over to Kiba and grab him by his shirt collar, "We're leaving, Kiba, say goodbye," Tsume ordered

"S-See you later, Menma. I'll beat your ass, branch bitch," Kiba said as Tsume spanked him

"Language!" Tsume shouted, dragging Kiba out of the Namikaze-Uzumaki Clan Compound. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful as everyone slowly left, leaving with stomachs full of cake, ice cream, and food. As the last of the Clan Heads and their children left, Minato, Kushina, Menma, and Naruko sat at the dinner table. Minato was staring up at the ceiling as Kushina had her head on the table. Naruko was unboxing the new console she got (a Nintendo Switch) and Menma was trying to figure out what any of the words mean in the new book he got called: Sealing for Dummies. Naruto stood in the back-yard, reading his manga he got from Garou. But he soon stopped at a page as he got up, "I wonder... will it work?" he whispered to himself as he turned his body and took a stance. His right foot was behind him as his left foot was in front. He started to bounce on the balls of his feet as he then took a step in front of him and said: "Flash," throwing several punches in front of him.
