Chapter 13 - 13. Killed for her

Naruto continued to stare at his mother. Part of his mind couldn't believe it. Kushina, his mother, was alive and she just continued to stare at him with a gentle smile.

The moon reflected her beauty giving her an almost goddess-like appearance. Her long red hair, her smooth face that didn't contain one blemish anywhere. It was then that Naruto could understand why Jiraiya told him that Kushina had to beat off some guys with a stick.

She was a drop dead gorgeous woman. Kushina watched her son look at her like he was stunned by her presence. She could understand, but she wanted more than Naruto to stare at his mother.

"Aren't you going to say anything Sochi?" Kushina asked with a girl. Naruto continued to look at her and his entire body trembled. His hair covered his eyes and he looked at the ground. Kushina raised an eyebrow, but she was treated to the sight of tears going down Naruto's face. The blonde smiled and wiped his face.

"Kaa-san!" Naruto yelled as he ran to his revived mother and quickly grabbed her into a hug.

Thirteen years of loneliness caught up with Naruto, thirteen years of no one there for him, no mother, no father, but that was gone. Kushina widened her eyes at the initial contact as she saw Naruto bury his face into her clothes. Kushina gave a gentle smile and wrapped her arms around her son.

"Come on sochi, your mother is here and your crying," Kushina said trying to get her son to calm down. But she could understand why he was like this.

Sure she had no idea why she was alive in the first place, but if her son was alive then she knew it would have something to do with him, but she didn't care at the minute. She just wanted to feel the warmth that she didn't get except the one time where she hugged Naruto as a baby so for now she was just going to settle for this feeling.

Some time had passed for the Mother and son as they stayed in the field. Naruto had finally calmed down and Kushina was more than happy to allow her son the time he need. Both sat on the ground and silence soon reigned in the forest. This was an awkward situation for Naruto since he wasn't really sure how talking with his mother was supposed to go.

Seeing her son's distress about talking, Kushina decided to start the conversation.

"So sochi, it's good to see you. You've grown from the last time I saw you," Kushina said and Naruto smiled while he rubbed the back of his head. The blonde blushed with a chuckle and turned to his mother.

"Thanks Kaa-san. It's good to see you. I still can't believe your here," Naruto said and Kushina smiled with a nod. She wondered what that would mean for the chakra that Minato put for her into the Kyuubi seal, but that was beside the point right now.

"Believe me, seeing my sochi alive and well is nice also, but would you tell me why I'm alive at all?" Kushina asked and Naruto gulped. He hadn't thought that far ahead to an explanation. The blonde sweated and Kushina glared playfully at him. She had to admit that not even Minato could keep something from her and the same could be said about Naruto. The blonde sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"Well your not going to believe me from how this story goes," Naruto said and Kushina raised an eyebrow. How could he say that? A mother was supposed to trust her son's word. Naruto also didn't seem like the type to lie and if he was then Kushina would straighten that out now.

"Sochi I can't even believe I'm alive right now. You've got nothing that will surprise me," Kushina said with a confident grin. Naruto gave a blank face and in the back of his mind he heard Kyuubi laughing like mad at Kushina. She really had no idea that her son was the most unpredictable ninja of Konoha.

"Alright Kaa-san, your gonna regret those words," Naruto said and began his story. He told his mother everything down to the last detail.

Needless to say Kushina was very surprised and the look of utter shock was evident on her face. Naruto told her about nearly dying at Final Valley, his fight with Sasuke Uchiha and even him meeting the Shinigami. Kushina gulped when she heard all of this and had to worry about Naruto even more.

Naruto also shocked Kushina to her core when he said that the Shinigami found interest in him and signed a contract with him. Now that had Kushina's interest. For Naruto to sign a contract with a god was nice in fact it was downright amazing, but she could only worry about it.

"And so Kaa-san, Shin said that I could only revive you if I...killed two people," Naruto said and Kushina widened her eyes. Naruto agreed to those terms and he brought her back.

Does that mean Naruto killed already? Or did he not do it yet. Kushina wanted to be angry if only slightly, but the look of small shame on Naruto's face told her that the blonde had antagonized about the decision. She also didn't know whether to be happy or mad.

Happy that Naruto loved her enough to want to do anything to see her or sad that he would kill people just to see her. Maybe it was a meaningless thought, but Kushina didn't see it that way.

"So that's what happened," Kushina said and Naruto nodded in all honesty.

The last person he would lie to was his own mother and besides Kyuubi no one else knew about his contract to the Shinigami so he would have liked for someone to talk with about it.
