Story Start!

It was Sunday.

No school, and for once, he didn't even have to go to any of his jobs. His rent and bills were paid, his grocery shopping was all done and taken care of for the next week, and he had actually gotten his homework done. To say this was all an unusual thing for Naruto was an understatement, to say this was the first time he had, had a day to himself where he had nothing planned in 10 years wouldn't be a wrong statement.

"Mom... you wouldn't believe it, at work the other day one of the kids got me really good. All the people are the dojo are going to be able to defend themselves really well one day. I mean, it kind of sucks to be a practice dummy, but knowing those people are safer really makes it worthwhile." Naruto laughed as he sat in front of a grave marker that had a picture situated in front of it.

He was sitting in front of 3 graves.

Jiraiya

Kushina Uzumaki

Minato Namikaze

His godfather, his mother, and his father were all dead. While his parents had died on the date of his birth, he had lost his godfather when he was a young child. His godfather had been the one to... well not raise him, but provide him a place to live. Naruto assumed that his godfather raised him as a baby, but he had no memories of those years of his life, and he had very few memories of his godfather over than the little time he got to spend with the man that he could really remember.

His mother, Kushina Uzumaki.

A Japanese-American, she had been born in America after her family had moved there several generations previously. He knew the story from his godfather, she was a traveler by nature though, and once she had gotten old enough, she took a job that let her travel the world to see new things and really experience everything the world had to offer. He did not know what job she had, but apparently it was important enough that his godfather said that she was doing important work.

His father, Minato Namikaze.

A Japanese-Italian, he was born in Japan to a Japanese man and an Italian woman, having inheritted the Namikaze name and the family business. He was a businessman who had a flare for attracting women to him with his more feminine appearance, but combined with his more prince-like nature. He was good with his words, well spoken, polite and friendly to a fault, though he had lost the family business when he met Kushina Uzumaki and proceeded to fall in love.

He gave it all up to be with her.
