It was that time and of the year again. Yep you guessed it. It's Christmas. A time where everybody is having fun opening up their presents and thanking their parents. Usually a kid would want a video game or new clothes or shoes but this one was different.

His name was Shinachiku. And he was the son of Sakura and Naruto Uzumaki. Everybody thought that he had it all with his mom being the world renound medical ninja and his father being the Hokage for the leaf village. But in reality, it wasn't all that good. His parents were barely home ever since a new enemy arose last year. And since then, they've both working none stop.

"Hey Shina Merry Christmas." Shikadai said walking up to his close friend. Since Shikadai's father, Shikamaru, is his father's advisor, they became close friends when they both brought their sons to work.

"Heh Merry Christmas Shikadai." Shinachiku replied back sadly.

"Hmm whats wrong?" Shikadai asked.

"It's nothing nothing at all." Shina said putting on a fake smile.

"Shina I know how you are...and how troublesome your problems can be so just tell me already." Shikadai said.

"Ok ok....you know since its Christmas and you'd think my family and I would be at home by now but there not." "Instead I'm stuck at home spending my Christmas by myself." "I guess....I just wish that my parents took off for the day and acted like this enemy didn't exist for the day...like your father." He said.

"Well they s is troublesome hmm...it is Christmas so maybe just maybe something is bound to happen today." Shika said trying to cheer his friend up. He understood what he was going through because something similar was happening to him too.

"Hmph yeah sure...maybe." Shina said unconvinced.

"Look you know your parents love you right?" Shika asked.

"Yeah I know." Shina said.

"Well you have nothing to worry about I mean we're in the mist of a potential war but, things will get better." Shikadai said.

'Maybe he's right
' Shina thought.

"Well I got to be going so I'll see you later then." Shikadai said getting ready to leave.

"Yeah see you later." Shina said getting ready to leave too. They fist bumped each other and left to go home. But what they failed to notice was a man with blonde hair listening to their whole conversation.

"I have to do something about this." The blonde male said then left.

Meanwhile while Shinachiku walked home, he saw everyone happy and having fun with their families. All that did nothing but depress him more.

"I should be at home right now...opening presents..and with my family not out here just wondering around." Shina mumbled under his breath.

When he finally made it to his home, he expected it to be empty cold air but there was something different. It wasn't cold in the house and it smelled like...roast beef?

'No it can't be!' He said in his mind. He rushed to the kitchen only to find....nothing. It was empty.

"Knew it was too good to be true." He said turning around disappointed. As soon as he turned around, a burst of warmth filled his whole body.

'Wah?' He was confused very confused. Soon the warmth subsided and then he looked up and was surprised at what he saw.

"Mom...dad?" Shina whispered in disbelief.

"Shina chan we're...we're sorry for making you feel abandoned." Sakura said.

"Yes we're sorry it's just that ever since that new enemy came, all of the villages have been in high alert." Naruto said.

"And the hospital has gotten flooded with injured ninjas and....can you ever forgive us?" Sakura asked. Shinachiku looked as if he was about to cry. He then smiled at his parents.

"Of course I can!" Shina said. He then embraced his parents in a tight hug. The rest of the the day, they spent the whole say together having fun with each other and were feeling like a family again.

Merry Christmas everybody! Hope you had a wonderful time with your family and presents!
