a self-taught shinobi (Under Editing)

chapter 43

Days later

The fire capital

*We see in the garden training trying to unlock his chakra chains it would go faster if Naruto would just let Kushina do it for him but he refused so here they are with Naruto showing signs of chakra exhaustion barely able to make 1 ring of the chain before it exploded Naruto fell on the floor breathing heavily*

Kushina:not bad Naruto but you need better charka control if you make even one mistake it will not work and it will explode in your face like it just did  but that's enough training for today

*Naruto got up wobbly legs nodding he walked to his mother and sat down next to her*

Naruto;only a small one i want to learn this before...

*Naruto stopped himself and his mood dropped Kushina gave him a sad smile and kissed his forehead*

Kushina; before i disappear...

*Naruto had to fight the tears from showing while Kushina was here now it was only a small part of her soul and chakra and without a body to seal them Kushina will soon leave to be reunited with the rest of her soul*

Kushina:nothing that can be done about it Naruto we all have to die at some point that is the life of a Shinobi after all

Naruto:i know but it's just...i just got you and to know I'm only gonna lose you in a short amount of time it's...heart breaking..

Kushina:i know it's heartbreaking for me too i don't want to leave you but your not alone anymore you know that

*Kushina rubbed her thumb on Naruto's cheek giving him a small smile*

Kushina:you have your aunty who can tell you stories about me and believe me i have stories

*Both chuckled at that*

Kushina:you have your uncle and Tsunade both willing to do anything to help you

Naruto:i know hell there covering up your little massacre as an Akatsuki attack

*Kushina snorted at that if she could she would kick Tsunade for making up such a lame excuse*

Kushina:you have your cousin and friends you may not always have me but you will never be alone

Naruto;noticed that you didn't include Shizune in that mixed

*Kushina crossed her arms and pouted*

Kushina:i have no idea what you mean

Naruto:uhu you know you didn't have to scare he before she left with baachan

Kushina:i just want to make sure that cougar is right for you

*Naruto just laughed holding his sighed*

Naruto:mom Shizune is far from a cougar at most she's a senpai

Kushina:still too old for my baby boy

Naruto:and the second she gives you grandbabies you will forget all about that and just be happy to hold them in your arms

Kushina:.  .  .maybe a little but yes I'll hold them hug then kissed there little bodies and just take in that new baby smells

Naruto; and don't forget the presents!

Kushina:ha never your kids will be spoiled rotten by me! You'll have to buy another house just to  have a place for them all

*Both laughed at the thought of it but soon the laugh turned bitter as both knew what they were talking about was nothing more then a dream that could never happen Kushina saw Naruto looking sad again and it broke her heart seeing that expression on her son face, Kushina sighed and gave Naruto a one arm hug Naruto rested his head on her shoulder just enjoying the mother son moment watching the autumn leaves fall*

Kushina:leaves from the Vine falling so slow like fragile tiny shells drifting in the foam

*Kushina used her small pouch of water to make two forms a mother holding her little boy*

Kushina:little soldier Boy come marching home brave soldier boy come marching home..

*The form changed to the water mother swinging the little water kid in a swing under a tree*

Kushina:ash in the snow falling so slow like fragile broken hearts with no place to go...

*The formed changed again to the mother protecting the son from a group of water people*

Kushina:little soldier boy taken from him forced to fight a war that was not his own..

*The form changed to the mother and son making seals together*

Kushina: little soldier Boy cold and alone brave soldier boy never made it home

*The form fell as Kushina's hand started trembling and hard to move as a bit more of her soul and charka leaves her making Kushina look older then she was she felt Naruto hold her hand, Kushina closed her eyes and kept the melody*

Kushina:leaves from the Vine changing so slow like empty, fallen souls looking for a

*Naruto raised his hand and made the mother son figure again this time the boy was much older taking care of the mother*

Kushina:home little soldier boy thought he could soar brave soldier boy fallen in the war my

*The boy was rolling the mother in the wheelchair to the top of a hill to look at the sunset*

Kushina: little soldier boy i need you home brave soldier boy come marching home

*The mother and son hugged each other one last time as the water mother evaporated leaving the water boy alone, Kushina frowned and did not like this ending she raised her free hand and used a bit of chakra to make a water girl to hug the water boy Naruto gave a wet chuckled knowing what she was implying as he cleaned his tears and got up and rolled his mother wheelchair to the dinner area the mood still sad but more bittersweet*
