"Shikaku, I know this is very sudden and maybe unexpected but in a case where something tragic was to happen to Naruto... we'd want you to take him in, have him become a Nara. I have the feeling hiruzen won't do such a good job."

Shikaku chuckles "we'll gladly take him in if that was to happen. I'll have the paperwork ready for this. It should be done by the time Naruto is born." Minato smiled and they shook hands.

"Hopefully nothing happens before then I guess"

Shikaku sighs sadly "they're gone..." He said as he turned his head away from the limp bodies of his friends "where's the boy?" He asked and soon a jounin came up and handed him a crying Naruto.

"It's gonna be okay boy, we'll find a way to make you a Nara without the adoption papers done" that is when Yoshino came up to him.

"I know this isn't the best idea but...we could marry him to one of the Nara children? We can't adopt him otherwise as the papers don't have Kushina's or Minato's signatures which means he won't be able to live with us otherwise.."

"I guess we have no other choice now do we?" He stared at Naruto for a good 5 seconds "we'll marry him to shikamaru.. we're the one's they trusted to look after him it'll be a burden to marry him to another child that resides inside the clan." Yoshino nods

"Hopefully they'll understand when they turn thirteen."

"Naruto! Shikamaru! It's time for your first day in the ninja academy!" yelled Yoshino.

She then heard footsteps from upstairs and placed 2 plates down for the 7 year old boys "make sure to stay close to Naruto, shikamaru. You know how the villagers are to him."

"Yes, mother. I know, it's not like I'd want to leave his side, where else would I go?"

"I'm just saying"

"You guys do know I'm right here, also. They can hate me all they want, but it's not my fault my parents put the jinjuriki in me." Naruto said and puffed his cheeks.

Shikamaru pinched his cheek "don't get all upset because our village is filled with stupid people besides, all you gotta do is turn your eyes red and they'll run for their lives."

"I don't know how to do that though! I haven't even met the stupid fox how would I be able to obtain its powers without even speaking to the thing?" Shikamaru shrugged and let go of Naruto's cheek as they are breakfast Yoshino watched and smiled at how well they get along.

(At the academy)

Once they entered they of course, sat next to each other. They waited and seen some of the other clan heirs "choji! Ino!" Naruto shouted and waved to the two other people who actually hung out with him.

They smiled and whilst choji say on the other side of Naruto, Ino sat in the seat below and greeted them, "Tch, of course ino-pig is friends with the village monster."
