Celebration

Ash told Naruto to stay here and he ran at full speed towards the uchiha compounds. When he got to the compounds, he quickly went to his house. Seeing Ash all sweaty and breathing heavily, Jane asked " What happened Ash?".

After catching his breath, Ash told his mother about Naruto's situation and in the end, asked " Mom can we please celebrate Naruto's birthday here?".

Jane was not going to reject because she also wanted to do something for Naruto. Jane was a good friend of Naruto's mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

She was very depressed when she heard about the death of her friend. She wanted to adopt Naruto but couldn't because of certain circumstances.

She agreed and told Ash" why not. Tell you what, you go back to Naruto and bring him here after 1 hour and I will take care of everything else".

Ash was very happy that his mother agreed and ran back to where Naruto was. After reaching the forest, he saw Naruto playing with his bracelet. Seeing him happy, also made Ash happy. He went to Naruto and said " hey Naruto, I got a surprise for you. Let's play for sometime and then I will take you to the surprise".

Naruto asked curiously " what is the surprise. Is it a really big bowl of ramen". Ash replied " you'll see".

After playing hide and seek for sometime. Ash told Naruto it was time and they both headed towards his house. When Naruto got to Ash's house, he was a little reluctant to enter, but after Ash comforted him, he relaxed a little bit. After entering the house they proceeded inside. It was dark everywhere, but when they entered the kitchen, all the lights suddenly turned on and Everyone said in unison " Happy Birthday Naruto".

There was Ash's father Dave, his mother Jane, his brother Shade and his siter Lily.

Naruto was shocked at first but he started laughing and smiling. Ash introduced him to everyone. Then Naruto noticed that there were decorations in the whole kitchen. There was also alot of food on the table.

Naruto smiled and said to everyone " Thank you everyone, this is my best birthday ever".

Then they sat at the table and ate their food. After that, They chatted for some time and then Jane noticed it was getting pretty late. So she told Ash and Shade to walk Naruto home.

Before Naruto left, Jane hugged Naruto tightly and told him he could come here whenever he wanted

Naruto smiled and then nodded.

While going home, Naruto thought to himself " Is this what it feels like to have a family".

Soon they reached Naruto's apartment and Naruto smiled and waved at Ash and Shade.

Then both of them headed home.
