Chapter 10: Dream
One day Kushina asked, "What will be u dream Naruto".
Naruto looked up at his mother, Kushina, her warm smile providing him with a sense of comfort and security. He thought carefully about her question, the weight of his aspirations and responsibilities intertwining in his mind.
"Mom," he began, his voice steady, "my dream is to become the strongest ninja I can be. I want to protect everyone I care about—especially you and the Uchiha clan. I don't want to see anyone suffer like I know they could if things don't change. And I am gonna revive our Uzumaki clan by marrying many kunoichis"
Kushina chuckled softly at her son's ambitious declaration, her heart swelling with pride at Naruto's determination and maturity. "You're growing up so fast, Naruto," she said, a warm smile gracing her lips. "I'm glad to hear that you want to protect those you love."
Naruto's enthusiasm was contagious as he continued, "I want to make sure our clan lives on, and I know that by forming strong bonds with many kunoichis, I can create a family that can support each other. Plus, they can help me become stronger!"
Kushina couldn't help but admire his resolve. She remembered the importance of family in the Uzumaki clan, and the thought of her son reviving their legacy filled her with hope. "Just remember, Naruto, that love is not just about quantity; it's about the quality of those relationships. Treat each girl with kindness and respect, and you'll create a family that thrives together."
"I will, Mom! I promise!" he exclaimed, a bright smile lighting up his face. "I'll be a good husband and father, just like Dad."
Kushina's heart ached a little at the mention of Minato, but she quickly shook it off. "Your father would be proud of you, Naruto. He would have believed in your strength and potential."
Naruto nodded, determination burning in his eyes. "I'll make sure to honor his legacy. I want to be strong enough not just for you and our family, but for the entire village too."
As they shared this moment, Kushina felt a renewed sense of hope for the future. Her son was not just a reflection of Minato but a unique individual ready to carve his own path. "Just promise me one thing," she said gently.
"What is it, Mom?" he asked, tilting his head.
"Don't forget to enjoy your childhood along the way. You have time to grow and develop your dreams. Let them evolve naturally."
Naruto grinned widely. "I will! I want to have fun with my friends and go on adventures too!"
Kushina smiled, feeling reassured by Naruto's spirit. They spent the rest of the day discussing his plans, his friendships, and the dreams he had for their family. It was moments like these that reminded her of the joy and laughter they could still share, even in a world fraught with challenges.
