I made another chapter, and I think I may turn this into a full out story...maybe. If I do it would probably only be updated when I am hit with inspiration. Also I wrote this on my phone so sorry for any and all mistakes.
Naruto woke with a content sign and snuggled into the warmth of the blankets. His blue eyes opened and he looked around the room that he was able to stay in. It wasn't the most decorated room, but it was still warm and kept the cold out.
He still couldn't believe that the family of the house allowed him to stay.
The youngest had basically dragged him to his home and when he saw the huge compounds wall he had started to fear the worst.
Instead of being chased off like he expected he was welcomed warmly by the boys mother, Mikoto. She had helped clean himself up and gave him clothes that fit. When the boy who dragged him there came running into the room saying that he could stay.
The dark haired boy then dragged him back to the living room where the other boy was.
He remembered that they introduced themselves finally. The younger one was Sasuke and the other was Itachi.
Itachi proceeded to tell them stories of some famous ninjas at the pleading of his brother.
He and Sasuke were both so enthralled with Itachi's story telling that they groaned when Mikoto told them it was dinner time.
Itachi and Sasuke went and sat at the table while he had stood at the door wondering what he should do.
"Naruto. Come and sit." A serious looking man said.
Naruto hesitated slightly before cautiously walking to the table and sitting next to Sasuke and Mikoto.
No one moved to grab any of the delicious looking food in the table as the man just starred at Naruto.
"My name is Fugaku. I want you to come with me to the Hokage tomorrow." He stated before filling his plate and the others following suit.
Naruto looked wide eyes at him wondering why he needed to go to the Hokage, but those thoughts were quickly forgotten when his stomach growled. He looked at the food not sure what to start with...he had never seen such good looking food, or food that smelled so good for that matter.
Mikoto must have saw his dilemma because she started to put a little bit of everything on his plate with that warm smile that made his chest ache in such a odd way.
After dinner Sasuke dragged Naruto and Itachi out to play. Naruto honestly couldn't remember the last time he had such fun or felt so happy.
He must have fallen asleep sometime when he and Sasuke had been looking at the stars because his next conscious memory was of being carried with Mikoto holding Sasuke walking next to the person holding himself. He vaguely heard Itachi talking to the right of the person. Then next thing he knew was the softness of a bed and the cool fabric of covers being pulled over him.
He remember a man saying something to him, but he couldn't remember as he was already falling back to sleep.
Naruto was pulled from his memories of last night by the smell of cooking food. With a growl of his stomach he grudgingly got out of the warmth of the bed and covers.
He followed his nose to the kitchen.
Standing at the stove was Mikoto, and sitting at the table was Fugaku.
Mikoto smiled at Naruto when she was him and placed some eggs in the table next to the seat of Fugaku. Naruto hesitates again before climbing into the chair next to the intimidating man.
He ate the eggs happily when Fugaku spoke from behind the papers he was reading.
"Once you are done we will leave for Hokage Tower."
Naruto's cup stopped halfway to his mouth as the worry from last night came back.
"Don't worry dear I'm sure it's nothing bad, right Fugaku?" Mikoto comforted while glaring at her husband.
Fugaku's paper began to shake slightly as he held it up higher like a shield. "Yes, of course."
Naruto swallowed back a snicker a the display.
Not even ten minuets later the two odd companions were headed to the Tower. Fugaku's mind was else were when he felt a small body step closer to his he looked down the see Naruto looking around warily before flinching and looking to the ground. The older man looked to see what was wrong and his usually scowl deepened.
The people they walked by were glaring and sneering at the small but some even steered away children who walked to close.
He glanced once more at the downtrodden and distressed boy.
Fugaku raised his had hesitated for a moment before placing it on top of Naruto's golden locks. The boy stiffened before looking up at him questioning after a moment Naruto must have found what he was looking for because he beamed up at the older man with a smile that made Fugaku think of his old friend.
Once they made it to the tower Fugaku ignored the receptionist and walked straight into the Hokage's office.
A old man looked up from his stack of papers and smiled when he saw who it was.
"Naruto, Fugaku, what a lovely surprise." He said in his raspy voice he looked relieved to see them.
"Hokage, I wish for Naruto to be a Ward of the Uchiha." Fugaku stated.
Naruto looked at him in confusion.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew what he wanted to ask because they had discussed this last nigh, but it seems that he hadn't talked to Naruto about it if the confusion of the young boy was any evidence.
"Naruto."
The blond looked to the Hokage.
"Do you know that Fugaku had just asked?"
Naruto looked from one man to the other and shook his head.
Hiruzen smiled at him "A Ward is basically a person under the protection, or guardians of a person or family."
Naruto's eyes widen "You mean..." he didn't want to say fear of the small hope he was starting to have being crush kept the words in his throat.
"Yes Naruto, it mean you would stay with the Uchiha Clan untill the age of 18 or you reach Jonin. Which ever happens first. Would you like that?"
Naruto nodded his head frantically. "Yes, yes, yes please!"
The old Hokage smiled at the boy and pulled out a paper and slid it across the desk towards Fugaku who quickly signed. Then with the Hokage signature the deed was done.
They both looked to Naruto who had tears in his eyes. He looked up at Fugaku before launching himself at the tall man. Naruto wrapped his arms around his waist and hugged him with all him might.
And Hiruzen knew he made the right choice then he saw the stoic Uchiha smile softly at the young boy and pay his back awkwardly a chuckle escaping him.
Aww... So cute...even if a little out of character. So now Naruto is a Ward of the Uchihas oh I wonder what will happen...oh the chaos.
