After the War [1]

''That was a dirty move, Kuu-san.'' Naruto commented while feeling the warmth of the hug he just received. These two were his parents - They were dead ever since he was born and despite all the grievances Naruto had in his heart, he let it go through the years.

His mother, Kushina Uzumaki, smiled gently upon seeing her son stunned expression and his conversation with Kurama. Looking towards him, she couldn't help but feel a bit emotional before sighing as she said: ''I'm sorry that we couldn't be with you all these years, dear. But since we have this short amount of time, I want to know everything about you!''

''Did you eat well? Did you train well? Also, did you have many friends up to now? Most importantly! Did you get a girlfriend?'' Kushina asked as her eyes seemed to shine ever so slightly while throwing a barrage of questions. Naruto felt slightly overwhelmed but couldn't help but smile.

Scratching the back of his head embarrassedly, Naruto didn't really know where to start. There were just so many things to say but he decided to start from the beginning.

As he talked and talked, Kushina smiled softly and so did Minato. Naruto knew they would rage if they knew what he suffered so the blond youngster didn't talk about it except what a Jinchuuriki usually passed through.

''I don't have a big amount of friends but the ones I have... I think that it is enough to fill my heart, right? They weren't the friends I asked but were certainly the ones I needed, haha.'' Naruto said while chuckling.

Kushina flickered his forehead as he mumbled in 'pain' but felt a surge of warmth flooding his heart. The red-haired woman scolded with a serious face: ''What friends you 'asked'? You don't ask for friends, got it? It's good that you have such good friends but most importantly... What about a girlfriend?!''

''Um... In fact, I have two.'' Naruto said bashfully while pointing his nose right towards the sky with a proud-filled tone. Since neither Hinata nor Karin were there, he decided to act shamelessly.

Haku: ''...''

Hagoromo, Sasuke and the now conscious Obito: ''...''

Kushina and Minato: ''!!!''

Snapping out of her daze, Kushina gave a death glare towards Naruto: ''Two girlfriends? God, my son grew up as a womanizer! I'm sure he inherited that from you, Minato! It's your fault!''

Faced with an unreasonable woman, Minato could only smile while sweating a bit before he said: ''Ahahaha... Kushina, you know I never was a womanizer, it's just that our son is so handsome. It's only natural for that to happen!''

Hearing that, Kushina previous anger dissipated as similarly to Naruto, she pointed her nose right towards the sky before saying with a proud-filled voice: ''That's right! My son is so handsome that he has two girls! It's only natural, that's right!''

''Our son...'' Minato mumbled in a low tone, his voice akin to a mosquito.

''Did you say something?'' Kushina looked towards Minato with a kind smile, her hair fluttered upwards as a fiery, dangerous aura appeared all around her. Minato flinched before quickly saying: ''No, no... I mean, your son, yeah, your son!''

Seeing their interactions, Naruto sweatdropped before he said while clicking his tongue in wonder: ''Tch tch, to think you were such a spineless person, father. I guess I did just right in mocking you!''

''Respect your father, brat.'' Kushina said but her gaze agreed more and more with Naruto. Faced with the duo, Minato lowered his head while feeling there was no warmth in the world anymore.

''Ah, that's right! Mother, I've rebuilt Uzushiogakure, I'm now the Nanadaime Uzukage and the current Clan Head of the Uzumaki Clan. How? Awesome, right?!'' Naruto said with pride.

Minato saw his Uzukage robe but didn't think too much but now that he mentioned, the reanimated Hokage said: ''So that's what that Kage robe was from? I don't remember Uzushiogakure having so many Kages before you, though.''

''Uh, it's because the last Uzukage who wrote that latter said he was the Sixth Uzukage so I just ended up calling myself the Nanadaime Uzukage.'' Naruto scratched the back of his head embarrassedly as both Kushina and Minato sweatdropped. Even Sasuke, Hagoromo and Obito felt that Naruto took that too lightly, that was a Kage, for God's sake.

Kushina sighed heavily before saying with downcast eyes: ''When I was transferred to Konoha to become the next Jinchuuriki, I was too young and even if I wanted to, by the time Uzushiogakure was destroyed, I couldn't do anything. At least now it will prosper, I believe in you, dear.''

''Though it was just a small part of my soul, I remember our conversation inside of Kurama, is that his name? Don't forget that we'll always support you no matter what you do because you're our son.'' Minato smiled gently as he caressed Naruto's head, the blond youngster didn't reject it.

''It's a pity that I won't be able to see how the new Uzushiogakure is doing and that we won't be able to see our grandchildren. To think that it was just the blink of an eye and yet, you're already so tall...'' Kushina muttered, her eyes seemed a little lost after coming to that conclusion. Minato also sighed while Hagoromo, Sasuke, Haku and Obito just kept themselves out of their conversation.

At this time, both Kushina and Minato's body started disintegrating in white-colored particles. Hagoromo said shortly: ''The caster has deactivated the Edo Tensei which reanimated the Four Kages. Kushina's Soul is also running out strength and will soon return to that place.''

Naruto knew that even he couldn't do anything and bring back the dead completely yet. As such, he just nodded weakly, even though Naruto knew his parents were dead, seeing them here, practically alive and yet leaving was a huge blow.

''Father, mother... I'm not strong enough but when I get strong enough, I'll bring you back so that you can see me, your daughters-in-law and your future grandchildren, okay?'' Naruto said while tearing up a bit.

''I'll be doing just right, I'll be sure to create them right because I'm sure this is how I would've been created by you two. I'll... miss you two.'' Naruto said as both Kushina and Minato smiled warmly, their 'bodies' disappearing completely as white-colored particles rose to the sky.

Wiping the tears out of his face, Naruto felt Sasuke patting the back of his head. The black-haired youngster, whose eyes had returned to normal as he deactivated his Rinnegan, said: ''I know you'll miss them but at least that will be temporary, eh? Also, you still have Hinata and Karin. Not to mention me, Haku, Sakura, Kakashi, etc.''

Naruto nodded lightly before the Infinite Tsukuyomi was deactivated. Suddenly, the blond youngster looked towards a certain direction where a certain black-colored creature with golden-colored eyes was trying to run.

''You're not escaping, Black Zetsu.''
