It's been five years since I took in Naruto. It has not been easy I take on my missions to keep food on the table. I am away for long periods of time but when I return no matter how tired I am, The smile and warm hugs I got from my boys makes it worth it. Now they are in the ninja school and close to becoming Geni. I know I am supposed to be happy I did a good job training and raising them. Yes sure Naruto is not the brightest tool in the shed, but he has a lot of heart. Sasuke has developed this rebellious emo state. Its hard to not slap him sometimes. I just have to have faith in them and give advice when I can.

"SASUKE ,NARUTO GET UP YOU WILL BE LATE!!!! DON'T MAKE ME GET KIRORO UP THERE!" I yelled from the kitchen. In moments they both were at the breakfast table arguing. "Mom Sasuke is being a duckbutt tell him to stop." Naruto said as the two were glaring at eachother. "She's not even our mom. Why do you call her that as soon as we are done training. It will be like she doesn't know us." Ok that hurt dose he really think so little of me. I always knew he did after all I was to marry his brother. "HOW CAN YOU HONESTLY SIT THERE AND SAY THAT? YES I KNOW SHE ISN'T OUR MOM, BUT SHE DOES ALL THE THINGS A MOM WOULD! WHEN WE WERE DOWN OR SICK SHE WAS ALWAYS THERE FOR US! SHE IS THE FIRST PERSON IS THIS VILLAGE THAT LOOKS AT ME WARMLY AND NOT WITH HATE! SHE MAY NOT HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS BUT SHE TRIES HER HARDEST TO BE WHAT WE NEED. THAT TO ME IS A MOTHER I CAN BE PROUD OF!" Naruto yelled before punching him. Naruto had ran out the door with his school things. I sigh before looking at Sasuke. "Finnish your breakfast your going to be late. Oh I will be late getting home today. I will leave money for you both to get something." I said before cleaning up the dishes. "You know I didn't mean to.....Never mind I will see you later." He said before leaving. Kiroro came over and headbutted my arm. (she looks like Kilala from Inuyasha only with blue eyes black fur with white markings) "I know you don't have a good feeling about this either. " I said scratching behind her ear. "You know instead of sticking to she shadows you could come out."
