He's grown up fast... It seems like yesterday that you started taking care of a baby Naruto. After the events of the Konoha attack and the death of Minato and Kushina, Naruto was orphaned... however you offered to take care of him, it didn't matter if he was seen as a monster, he was a child and you knew it, you knew he deserved love and affection that every person deserves

Now three years had passed, he was seen as a monster but he had you... You protected him from the entire village. He was a happy child and full of life. You raised him as your own son, taught him, cared for him and loved him. You still do it.

Now you and him were at the ninja academy to see if they could admit him.

While there, everyone looked at you and your little one as if you were something bad. Naruto was three years old and yet he was a child who would defend himself and you. He clenched his fists and you felt it when he grabbed your hand tightly (he was no taller than your knee).

"...I'm not going to let anyone say something ugly to you" Naruto said with determination.
