Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto, manga or anime. This wonderful story and its characters belong to Masashi Kishimoto. I do partially own both Kyora and Hikaru (partially since they both use the Uchiha name. =P) This is my first fanfic about Naruto, so if you guys can read and offer me pointers on how to improve it, i'd be forever grateful. Sorry for the grammar mistakes here and there.

Uchiha Kyora is Itachi and Sasuke's eldest sister. she too possesses immense talent and has joined the ANBU at the age of 10. After the war with the Akatsuki which she was involved in, she quit the ANBU. She is married to Hatake Kakashi and has a son Hikaru who strangely looks like a mini Sasuke except that he has his father's silver hair and his mother's gentle nature. His cheeriness, however was nurtured by his indulgent godfather, a certain blonde haired shinobi by the name Naruto.

"Hikaru!" Uchiha Kyora ran down the stairs, her eyes taking a quick glance around the living room. Where was her son? He was supposed to be in his room and now she can't find him anywhere. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. Had an enemy found him and took him? Given the circumstances of her son's birth, it was not an uncommon thought. Born from one of the remaining members of the Uchiha, a noble Bloodline limit of Konoha and as the son of the village's number 1 copy ninja, Hatake Kakashi, it was not unusual for the father's enemies or even the Akatsuki to come and try to snatch the boy away. A million possibilities rushed through her head and she was about to dash over to the Hokage's office when a familiar voice caught her attention.

"Kaa-chan!" her not-so-little boy waved from down the road. Kyora relaxed when she saw the face of the stranger who brought her baby home. "Naruto, did Hikaru interrupt your morning training again?' she asked the blonde-haired Jounin. Naruto grinned at the Uchiha kunoichi and assured her that it was nothing of the sort. "He helped me train in a way," he said as he watched Hikaru hug his mother. "Kaa-chan, when I grow up, I want to be just like Naruto nii-chan!" he stated resolutely to a smiling Kyora. Naruto stared wide-eyed at the 8 year old. He never thought that he'd be that idolized by anyone… aside from Konohamaru and his friends. He watched silently as Hikaru reenacted the moves he saw Naruto execute during the training session. "Well, Naruto, I appreciate you looking out for him, EVERY MORNING." She emphasized on the last words, glancing at her son who looked sheepish. Naruto chuckled and told her that he'd be glad to watch over Hikaru. "It's my personal victory that Hika-chan is closer to me than to Sai and Sakura-chan. Hehe~" he added cheekily. Kyora smiled and sent her son upstairs to get ready for school. Once her son was out of sight, Kyora beckoned to Naruto to follow her into the kitchen.

"I'm going on a mission for a few days. Starts tomorrow." She said pouring a cup of coffee and offering it to Naruto who gratefully accepted. "I was wondering if Hikaru can stay with you while I'm gone." She said looking hopefully at the boy who she regarded as her own brother. Naruto stared at her. Something doesn't seem right. Seeing his doubtful expression she told him that it was an S-class mission. She was not sure how long it would really take and hoped that Naruto and the others can help look after Hikaru. "What about Kakashi-sensei?" Naruto asked the inevitable. Kyora smiled sadly, "I know he thinks that by staying away from Hikaru and making him take up the Uchiha name instead of his own will keep our son safe from his enemies… but sometimes I wish that he would just sit down with us and worry together." She looked at the pictures lining her kitchen walls. All of them featured Hikaru with various people, but never with Kakashi. "As if his enemies can't piece the puzzle together. If I decide to change Hikaru's hair colour back to the way it was, everyone would know who the father is." She added with a slight bitterness in her voice. Naruto winced at her tone. "Doesn't Kakashi-sensei… um, visit Hikaru sometimes?" he asked hesitantly. Kyora sighed and told him that Kakashi visits alright, just not when Hikaru's awake to see him. "He drops by in the middle of the night, always leaving before Hikaru wakes up. Doesn't he understand that his son misses him?" she murmured to herself. She quickly rearranged her expression, telling Naruto what Ino had told her about Hikaru's transformation justsu. "Other students would take their teachers as models for 'henge no jutsu' but Hikaru would always, always transform into Kakashi."Naruto looked down at his cup and decided that it's time for a topic change.

"Ano sa, Kyora-neechan. Sakura chan has finally agreed to go on a date with me!" he grinned widely. Kyora laughed and said that his persistence finally paid off. They were about to go into more detail when Hikaru came bounding down the stairs, calling for his mother. "Kaa-chan, I'm going to be late!" he whined when he saw that Kyora was still sitting in the kitchen. Kyora and Naruto exchanged glances and the blonde got up and walked to the younger Uchiha, "Ikuzo, Hika-chan! I'll walk you to the academy today." He said as he picked up the boy's bag. Hikaru grinned and waved goodbye to his mother as he practically skipped behind Naruto. He was secretly overjoyed that Naruto walked him to the academy. Now he could prove to his friends that he was not lying when he told them that the great Uzumaki Naruto is his godfather. Naruto suddenly stopped walking startling Hikaru out of his daydreams. "Naruto nii-chan?" he tugged at the jounin's sleeve. Naruto cleared his throat and crouched down so that he was at eye level with the shorter Uchiha. "Ne, Hika-chan. How would you like to stay over at my place for a few days?" he asked. Hikaru stared at him. "Was okaa-chan assigned a mission again?" the unexpected reply pushed Naruto off guard. He nervously asked what made Hikaru say that. The small boy shrugged and said that he overheard them talking in the kitchen earlier. Hikaru sat down on the pavement. He recalled an incident that occurred nearly 3 years ago. The first time his mother had started accepting missions again. Two ANBUs had appeared in their backyard. He was amazed at the superiority that his mother displayed with the two shinobies, calmly telling them that she would leave to the Hokage's office after dropping him off at Naruto's place. Since then, every time a mission came up, she would always let Hikaru spend the days at Naruto's house. Hikaru was immensely proud of his mother. He had once seen how her Sharingan glistened as she fought to get him back when he was kidnapped by rogue ninjas seeking revenge from his father. 'His father…' Naruto called out to him when he saw Hikaru's face fall. He knew what the young boy was thinking and decided to take action on his misery. "Hikaru, meet me at Ichiraku's Ramen after school, 'kay? I want to talk to about something." He said as he led Hikaru to the academy's gate. Hikaru looked up at him, a confused expression of his face. Naruto chuckled, "Daijobu! I'll tell your mother that I'm taking you directly from school. I'll get her to send over your things tonight." He added hugging Hikaru. The little boy smiled and nodded before running off to class. The blonde jounin sighed and turned to leave the vicinity. As he was leaving, he noticed a familiar silhouette leaning against a tree. He sighed and walked towards his former instructor.

Kakashi emerged from behind the tree when he saw the unlikely pair nearing the academy. He smiled when he saw the taller blonde hugging the raven-haired boy. The smaller boy's features reminded him a lot of his former student, an arrogant Uchiha whom he failed to save. He leaned back against the tree when he saw that the blonde jounin noticed his presence. "Oii! Kakashi-sensei! What are you doing all there?" the loud Uzumaki yelled a greeting as walked to the silver-haired jounin. Kakashi winced at Naruto over-enthusiastic greeting. That part of him never changed, but Kakashi knew that the events that happened over the years had swallowed most of cheery dispositionthe Uzumaki had. Behind his piercing blue eyes lie a sadness and frustration that linger like the shadows. Kakashi understood how the failure of bringing back Sasuke had affected his two remaining students. He also knew that the failure affected Naruto most. He raised his hand in salute as the loud blonde approached. "Naruto, please don't shout. You'll wake up half the village." He smiled under his mask. Naruto grinned at him before suggesting they go for a drink.

Thar's all for now. but then again, its only the first chapter. Plz read and review!
