First Birthday

Time-Skip; One Year Later;

The Third Shonobi War is at its end and the effects on all the shinobi villages began to show. Tensions on all Great Five Nation's Borders were starting to dwindle and the whole conflict felt like a stalemate. It became apparent that the end of the Third Shinobi World War was imminent it was just a matter of when. The people of Konoha have become tired and weary of all the fighting. They have had to endure the constant greed and thirst of all the shinobi villages for their land and wealth that was the legacy of the First and Second Hokages' and now they had to endure two Shinobi World Wars in two decades. Thankfully Konoha is a cradle of geniuses in every era outstanding shinobi appear carrying the hopes and wills of the generations of Konoha heroes on their shoulders. One such is Minato Namikaze who just held Iwagakure back. He was on Rotation and brought back to rest, especially after the death of his student Obito.

Meanwhile in Konoha;

In a relatively large traditional house on the edge of the village, we see one-year-old Kaito running around giggling. We can also see his mother Honoka trying to catch him while carrying his clothes. Kaito has been fed up with his mentality nearly collapsing he is an adult yet his mother insists on washing him herself which started this game of cat and mouse. His mother enjoying herself at Kaito finally acting like a child unaware of the true reason for his refusal to take a bath. His mother enjoyed her life away from all the fighting and work with his dad busy with the war she was granted a temporary leave from her duties. She knew Kaito was the Miracle baby she was injured in the Second Shinobi World War when she was just a Chunin and had to go against a Jinchuriki from the Hidden Stone Village. The Foreign Chakra had injured her internally the scars from the injury were healed but she was told she had very little chance of having a baby and more than 12 years later she got to have Kaito. Kaito wasn't a baby that needed her 24/7, he only cried only when needing to eat and needed to change his diapers and even then he scowled as if forcing himself to cry for attention. After 5 months he learned how to crawl and that was when Kaito started to look happier as if he wanted this freedoom little did everyone know he actually did. At about 8-month old he said his first word and much to his mother's amusment he said "Food" which angered her and he got a first hand account as to why you should never anger an Uzumaki her was stringed up by her Chakra chains and got a spanking for refusing to say mama only saying it after getting punished. Kaito vowed to himself never anger his mother. After a little while his wile his vocabulary expanded bit by bit as Kaito learned and got used to the dialect in this world. He also learned how to walk leading to today's funny encounter as he wanted to bathe himself but his mother refused that and started following him while he ran around the courtyard of the house.

As for Haruka his dad, he came around every month or so at the beggining but due to the war that stopped after a couple of months due to his duties as an Elite Jonin it has been nearly 3 months since he last came home. But he did his best to make up for his absence. Every time he came he played with him and read to him which was Kaito's favourite as he used these moment tp piece together as much information as possible for his future plans so every time time his father started reading something Kaito was intrested in he rewarded his dad with coos and giggles. 'I am a genius you read what i need and you get a cute laugh win-win' kaito thought. His favoutie moment was when his dad was telling him about the his duties which Kaito found fascinating to he called him "papa" for the first time as a bonus.

Back to the Present; Kaito was finally getting dressed by himself giggling as he won with his mom amused at his actions. Haruka knocked on the door which Honoka opened and upon seeing him he squeled happily and ran to his father yellind "papa".

Kaito was relieved that his dad came back safe and sound. Haruka caught the little boy and lifted him up. " Hey little man,how are you?" Haruka asked Kaito replied giggling with relief in his tone " good".

Honoka had a smile on her face watchibg her husband and their son talking to each other as if his dad was giving him a report of what he did.

After playing around a bit with Kaito, Haruka put him down. he turned around to look at Honoka and said " After my break this time, I won't be coming back for at least 4 months" with sadness in his voice. Honoka looks pissed " It isn't really that urgent with only small skirmeshes on the border why is the Hokage keeping you that busy?" Haruka answered "I am under Minato's command and you know how they have high hopes for him so he is involved with nearly all battles major or not but with Minato having a break to rest I insisited I came with him, I can't miss my only Child's First Birthday can I?" Honoka accepted begrugingly and added" but be safe okay?" Kaito then added " Come back?" Haruka then started laughing " Of course I will come back notjing can keep me away from you"

Kaito POV: 

Dad and Mom started discussing my birthday and who is Comming Apparantly Aunt Kushina and Minato are coming alongside Lady Biwako Sarutobi as well as Ino-Chika-Sho as my dad is friends with them from work with their wives as well as maybe the Third Hokage but personally I don't think this will happen.

2 days Later; Early in th Morning;

Kaito POV:

I woke up at 8 am, It was a routine my mom instilled in me. I went down the stairs and to my surprisr I found Aunt Kushina with Minato Namikaze a.k.a. The Yellow Flash of the Leaf. Then I Heard her Loud lively voice yell in my direction after she noticed me. " There is my beautiful nephew I have been here for an Hour I even woke up Minato to come with me" I replied " Aunt Kushina Good morning" Then I thought about messing with Minato so i turned to Him and said " Good Morning Smiley Sun Mister" This made Kushina roll on the floor her laughs were so loud that even my mom came from the kitchen to look what happened and saw Kushina laughing while clutching her stomach. After this she told me they came to take me out and keep me company while mom and dad prepared a birthday celebration for me.

We went around Konoha with did some shopping and finally had a taste of the famous Ichiraku Ramen and I have to say it did live to the hype. The legendary Otsusuki Teuchi knows how to make good ramen. I noticed some people giving Aunt Kushina weird looks and I know it was due her status as a Jinshuriki but i asked her wanting to see how she will answer. " Aunt Kushina why do some people look at you with fear and a bit of disgust," I noticed a flash of sadness then she returned to her happy face minato attempted to interject " Kaito it isn't polite to ask about other people's secrets" then Kushina interrupted Minato and said " Minato it is okay Kaito is family and an Uzumaki" then she turned to look at me and said, " Kaito I know you read alot and your mom said you are intrested in history do you know what Bijuu are?" I answered, " Yes I know and I know that Mom once fought one of them." She braced herself waiting for the anger and disgust that she was about to receive from her nephew " I am a Jinchuriki similar to the one that injured your mother" Then she closed her eyes as if waiting for what to come but surprisingly nothing happened " huh cool" I answered. Looking at me with a surprised face Kushina asked "Aren't you afraid or angry at me?" I answered her " Why would I be Aunt Kushina? You are You the Bijuu is the Bijuu it is like the bowl and the Ramen inside" She looked at me and started laughing and Minato was looking at me with a smile she then turned to me and said we have to go back home it is time for your party Minato will get our presents from home and meet us there.

So I got home and met my parents, I had fun at my birthday party. Aunt Kushina gave me a necklace left to her by Lady Mito while Minato gave me a nice diary that was locked with Fuinjutsu. My grandparents gave me a high-quality toy Kunai and shuriken as well as a calligraphy set while Ino-Chika-Cho gave my mom some medicinal herbs that help promote body growth that are used before the age of 3 years old. Lady Biwako brought he son Asuma with her who kept annoying me and playing with me like a child. Her gift to me was a pair of high-quality pants and a shirt that were made with material made for shinobi so they looked cool and resistant to cuts.As the night went on the guests left with only my parents and grandparents still there. I much to my annoyance still couldn't stay awake I was tired but the last thing I remembered was my grandparents arguing about who would look after me first since my mom was going back to duty soon. This is my Happy family and I want to keep them safe
