The Namikaze Kid and the Uchiha Brothers

After the fateful day Naruto had caught Fugaku kissing Minato, the Uchiha’s were inseparable from the Namikaze’s. Minato had a hell of a time explaining that Fugaku was an old friend of his from college and that Naruto couldn’t kiss Itachi and Sasuke because they were friends. That had been the longest argument that Minato ever had with his five year old son, well to date anyway. Naruto had refused to listen and proceeded to kiss Itachi and Sasuke (chastely of course) on the lips during recess the next week. Minato had hung his head when he had to talk to the school counselor Shizune. He explained to her it was all a misunderstanding and that maybe she could explain things better to Naruto. So they had pulled the five year into her office and talked to him about kissing.

Thankfully the next few years flew by without Naruto trying to kiss either Uchiha boy (without Minato’s knowledge anyway), but the same couldn’t be said about Fugaku. He had agreed to be Minato’s friend and came over every Saturday with his sons and the boys would retire to the family room, with the door opened of course. Naruto was a very impressionable young boy and Minato still didn’t trust him.

And the same with Fugaku, he just couldn’t trust his old flame to just be his friend. Fugaku would always bring food with him to feed all of them. He always stated that it wasn’t fair that the play dates were at the Namikaze’s and that they were just expected to show up with nothing. Minato was weary, but let Fugaku have his way. He was hoping that Fugaku would give up in time.


But how wrong he was, every Saturday Fugaku would show up, sons and food. He would then coax Minato into having a beer with him, stating that as fathers it was their right. He was proud of his boys, even though after three years they still only associated with Naruto and were jealous every time someone showed an interest in Naruto, the two boys would scare the poor kid off. But Naruto had gotten used to his “guard dogs” as he called him. He would laugh every time he said it.

But he only put up with it for so long before he would lecture the other two that he needed other friends besides the two boys. But he had to reassure them they were the only ones invited to his house every Saturday and they were the only best friends he had. Naruto was a very independent person and the Uchiha boys learned that. They couldn’t protect Naruto all the time and that the blond would always do as he pleased.

Minato glanced at the clock. It was now one o’clock. Fugaku should have been there by now. He always knocked on the door at least fifteen til noon. Maybe he decided he was tired of pursuing Minato. The blond huffed at that, yeah and pigs would fly was the thought that floated through his head.

Then a knock sounded at the door. He heard Naruto’s shouted “I got it!” and stood to make his way to the door to be with the blond in case it wasn’t the Uchihas. Minato caught up with Naruto and nodded for his son to open the door. A policeman stood on their front porch, the rain pouring heavily behind him.

“Hey Minato, I hate doing this but do you know Fugaku Uchiha?” Asuma Sarutobi asked. Minato could only nod. “He was in a car accident on his way over and you were listed at the next of kin. He and his sons were taken to Konoha General Hospital.”


“Are…are they alright?” Minato asked as Naruto hugged his fathers’ side.

“I know the boys have a few scrapes, but I’m not sure about Mr. Uchiha. I’m sorry about this Minato. I wanted to be the one to tell you instead of Anko. God knows what she would have said.” Asuma smiled softly.

Minato returned the smile wearily. “Yeah thanks Asuma. Anko has no tact when it comes to stuff like this. I appreciate it. I’ll see you later okay?”

Asuma nodded and made his way back to the police cruiser. Minato waved back as the man got into the car and drove away. He stood there a moment before Naruto tugged on his hand. “Dad we have to go get ready. Itachi and Sasuke are by themselves. We can’t leave them alone.”

Minato shook his head. “You’re right. Why don’t go and grab some puzzles for Sasuke? And one of my history books for Itachi? That way they’ll have something to keep them occupied?”

Naruto nodded his head and took off for the things his dad requested. Minato quickly went through the house turning off the lights. He didn’t think they needed anything since they were just going to visit and bring Itachi and Sasuke back to his house. Fugaku wouldn’t trust anyone else with his kids.


Minato glared at the two doctors before him. They would only tell him limited information before Minato lied through his teeth and told him that he was dating Fugaku Uchiha. That lie had gotten him a little more information, but not much. So Minato pulled out the big guns, he told them that he was the son of Tsunade Sannin, which ironically wasn’t a lie, but they didn’t believe them.


At that point, Minato pulled his phone out called the blond woman. “Hey mom! Sorry to bother you, but my boyfriend, Fugaku Uchiha is in the hospital, but the doctors won’t tell me much about his condition or let me in his room to see him. Now I know you pride yourself on hiring the most capable and compassionate doctors, but these two, Orochimaru Hebi and Kabuto Yakushi are being quite difficult.”

Minato smirked as the two doctors shifted with anger as he handed his cell phone to Dr. Hebi. The blond had never liked the man, but he was a “friend” of the family so to speak. He and his mother had went to the same medical university and graduated together. So they had some sort of camaraderie going on. Personally the pale man was creepy to Minato. He now smiled as Tsunade was yelling at Orochimaru through the phone. That woman had a temper and the lungs to match.

“You are allowed to go visit him Mr. Namikaze. I’m sorry for being difficult. It will not happen again.” Orochimaru said as he handed the phone back. “Come Kabuto, we have other patients to see to.”

Minato watched as the two doctors left. He was glad that he had Tsunade for a mother at times like these. He told Naruto to follow him into the room. He paused at the door as he took in the sight of his friend hooked up to all kinds of machines. The only good thing was that he was not hooked up to a breathing machine.

“Sasuke! Itachi! I’m so sorry!” Naruto dropped his bag and ran towards his best friends who had been sitting beside their father. The boys stood up and caught the blond as he threw himself on them.

Minato smiled sadly at the sight. Naruto was always there for the brothers no matter what. He would not be surprised if his son ended up dating one of them at some point. After the hug lasted for almost a minute Naruto pulled back and smiled at them. The brothers each gave him a small smile.

“Naruto, why don’t you take Sasuke and Itachi to get some food? I’m sure they’re hungry.” The blond man said as he pulled out his wallet and handed the money to Itachi, it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Naruto, it was the fact that the eight year old would talk the Uchiha brothers into going to Ichiraku just down the street.

“No Ichiraku, you’re to stay within the hospital understood?” Minato said to Itachi.

“Yes sir. I’ll make sure to keep him within the hospital.” Itachi said as he put the money in his pocket. He turned to Naruto who was pouting. “When Father gets better Naruto, I’ll treat you to all the ramen you want forever.”

The blond boy gazed lovingly at Itachi. “Oh Itachi that’s so awesome! I think I wanna marry you!”

Naruto went to hug Itachi but Sasuke’s hand on his shirt prevented him from doing so. “No way moron, you’re mine. You can’t marry Itachi.”

“But Sasuke! He’s gonna buy me ramen forever! If I don’t marry him and he moves away then I won’t be able to get my ramen!” Naruto whined.

Minato’s laughter broke up the fight. “You three can discuss this further when you’re eighteen preferably. Now go get some food and please bring me something.”

“Okay dad! Itachi this has to wait ‘til we’re eighteen…but you still have to buy me ramen!” Naruto exclaimed as he grabbed the older boys’ hand and drug him out of the room, Sasuke not far behind glaring at his older brother.

Minato smiled as the three left the room. Those three were something special; it would be a wild guess as to who Naruto would end up with. The poor kids fate was sealed he was afraid. He didn’t think either brother would settle for anyone else.

Minato turned his gaze to Fugaku. He sat down in a chair and pulled it just a bit closer to the pale man. The blond grabbed his hand and slowly stroked it. “Fu, you have to wake up. I’ll go crazy without you driving me crazy. I’ll even go on a date with you if you wake up.” Minato pleaded, but there was so no response so the blond kept on babbling.


Naruto was now sandwiched in between Sasuke and Itachi. The two brothers were glaring at each other over Naruto. The blond wasn’t sure what was up with his best friends, but he hoped it would end soon; he didn’t want them to spontaneously combust. He was rather attached to them and Itachi had promised him ramen forever.

“Can you two please stop glaring? It’s getting on my nerves!” Naruto said bluntly. He certainly wasn’t one to beat around the bushes.

“Fine.” Sasuke said and turned his gaze forward. He squeezed Naruto’s hand.

Itachi just nodded and paid attention to where they were going, also squeezing Naruto’s hand for comfort. They weren’t sure what to do since their father was in the hospital and not awake.

Naruto was tired of how sad his friends seemed. He wanted to cheer them up but didn’t know how. Then a thought entered his head. His father wasn’t around and no one from school was here, that he could see anyway. So his eight year old brain deemed it perfectly fine for him to drag Sasuke and Itachi into the next empty room and quietly shut the door.

“Moron what are you doing?” Sasuke asked he tried to raise his eyebrow. He hadn’t perfected it yet, but was almost there.

“You two seem sad so I’m gonna give ya a present!” Naruto exclaimed.

The two brothers stared at Naruto like he had a third head. “You didn’t have time to buy anything!” Sasuke said.

“Who said you had to buy anything as a present bastard?” Naruto replied and then smiled. Finally! He had a nickname for Sasuke that was suitable, though his dad would kill him if he heard him utter that word.

Sasuke just glared at Naruto because he had a feeling that word was his new nickname. “Well fine! Where it then moron?”

Naruto smiled and walked up to Itachi first. “Since you’re being mean, I’m giving Itachi his present first!”

Itachi smirked at his brother. He now had the attention of the blond, which was something the two brothers fought over discreetly. They knew if Naruto figured out that they were fighting over his affections then Naruto would be very mad.

“Okay Itachi! Here’s your present!” Itachi looked down at the smaller boy before Naruto kissed him on the lips. It was a barely there touch of lips, but to the eleven year old it was divine.

“Do you feel better now?” Naruto asked as he pulled away. Itachi nodded and smiled.

“Good! Sasuke it’s your turn for your present!” Naruto said as he turned to the youngest Uchiha.


Sasuke glared at his brother for a moment before he made his way over to Naruto and the blond gave him the very same kiss. He smiled as Naruto pulled away. He then pulled Naruto into a hug and reached a hand out for Itachi.

All three shared another hug. It was comforting to the two Uchihas that Naruto was there with them. They were worried that he didn’t care since he hadn’t shown up at first. But now they knew better.

“You can’t tell anyone I kissed you. Miss Shizune will kill me! Not to mention Dad! He told me I wasn’t allowed to kiss anyone. But you two are my best friends and I’d do anything for you!” Naruto said as he pulled out of the hug.

“We promise moron. Now let’s go get food and get back to Father.” Sasuke said as he took one hand and Itachi took the other. The three emerged back into the hall and made their way to the cafeteria.
