This is my new story The Overlooked Namikaze, Naruto is a Hidden prodigy who was neglected and decided to take train himself. I decided to forgo my original idea and make one where Naruto is a neglected prodigy.

Naruto and his sisters will be 13 while his brother is 17. I decided to forgo the Kekkei Genkai and have him be a master in Fuinjutsu and Kenjutsu. He was considered the dead last in the academy since he took to deception like a fish to water.

This will be a Naruto x OC her name will be Mikumi Nara. This will be a Neglected fanfic but no bashing.

Naruto will come back during the beginning of shippuden with a different outlook in life. He will have a summoning contract with Lions, the reason I chose lions is because no one ever uses them and it's unique.

I hope you all like this story, it's going to begin a two months after the Chunin Exams Invasion, Jiraiya will be taking Mito and Narumi on a training trip.

Chapter 1 You can't go

Kushina smiled at her husband, Minato, her eldest son, Arashi, and her twin daughters, Mito and Narumi approached their home. The family were coming back from a small family vacation, they had decided to go to the beach and relax, they had all had fun together. Watching Narumi and Mito bury Minato in sand and then use a Suiton Jutsu to wake him up made her giggle, the eldest Arashi got distracted while water walking and was taken out by a wave. It was a true family vacation in her opinion.

As they walked through the village they noticed people smiling and and bowing towards them, she noticed some girls giving her son flirty smiles and glared at them. She looked at her three children and smiled warmly at them, her eldest Arashi standing at 5'11 and wearing his Jōnin vest over a long sleeve blue shirt and blue Anbu style pants and black Shinobi sandals, he was the upcoming Second Yellow Flash of Konoha had blonde and blue eyes he was a spitting image of his father.

Her daughters Mito and Narumi known as the princess and heroes of Konoha for being the Jinchuuriki of the Kyūbi, they were both a spitting image of Kushina with their vibrant red hair and violet colored eyes, Mito took after Minato in personality being calm and collected while Narumi took after her. Kushina couldn't help but giggle knowing Narumi raised hell and had a short temper. Kushina let out a small smile remembering how Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his life to split the Kyūbi in two and sealed in the twins.

Now, normally, one would think that a Kage wouldn't leave their village. However, such a thing happens all the time in the villages. In this case, the Kage would select someone to take care of things while they were gone. In this case, Tsunade Senju, one of the Legendary Sannin, was the most suitable to watch over the village while he and his family were away on vacation.

The family of five walk up to their house and stopped. Sitting on the front porch with a book in hand was the middle child Naruto Namikaze. Out of three siblings he was different sporting his father's bright blonde with natural red streaks going through making it look like untamed Fire blowing through the wind. He gently set his book down and looked at his 'family' his bright crimson red eyes that would put any ruby to shame were looking at them, "so how was your vacation!" He asked casually.

Kushina and the others give a look of confusion to each other. "Naruto, were you here the whole time?" Asked a surprised Kushina, she could've sworn her son was with them on the family vacation.

Naruto looked back at his book. "Of course I was. It doesn't surprise me anymore. You leave me behind on every vacation then you come back and act surprised that I wasn't with you, then we go into a discussion where you say 'but Naruto why didn't you say anything.' So I decided that I wouldn't be shocked anymore." Naruto says while going back to his book.

Minato being shocked about what his son had just said couldn't hold back his questions. "Why didn't you say anything? You should've said something to us."

Naruto looks up at him. "Can we not have this conversation again." Naruto groan out knowing his dad would say that again like he always does. "If you don't have anymore questions I'll be going back to my book, it's quite interesting. Mikumi-chan recommend it to me and I have to say she has good taste in literature." Naruto says smiling.

Minato went silent. Not only is he unable to come up with anything, but neither Kushina, nor the kids were able to come up anything as well. They were shocked that their brother was so casual about this it was like he didn't care anymore.

Naruto nods at the silence. "Figures you five wouldn't have anything to say about this." He says while taking a sip of his lemonade.

"I have people who can testify that I didn't go with you on your vacations, because every time you go on vacations I always end up taking missions. Not that I'm complaining or anything, the missions are fun especially my latest mission, it went from a C to S rank and I even got to meet Koyuki Kazahana." He says with a blush on his cheek remembering how she had been his first kiss, not many could say their first kiss was from a princess and famous actress. He looked at his family again and cleared his throat.

"In fact, the head librarian, at the library, can tell you that Mikumi-chan had me check out this book yesterday. It's a really good story about a hero, who was neglected by his family as a child who was neglected at a young age. He was tempted by darkness but was able to overcome it and save hos world. I highly recommend that you all read it. I'm just about done."

He went back to his book while Minato, Kushina, and the kids just stood there awkwardly. They were looking at the last member of the family they had all completely forgotten about. Naruto noticed that they're just staring at him, and let out a sigh and he put his book down again.

"What's wrong?"

"Why didn't you say anything to us?" asked Kushina.

"In the earlier years whenever I would try to say something you all would just shoo me away and say 'Sorry Naruto I'm busy, come back when I'm not busy'. Thus, in the later years, I just figured that I wasn't welcomed on these vacations, so I didn't bother anymore. Is there anything else, or can I go back to my book? I really want to know how this story ends."

Minato is in disbelief. "That's ridiculous! Of course you're welcomed on these vacations! We're a family! Besides, we always hold a family meeting to plan the vacations! So why didn't you say anything?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow. "Family meetings? What family meetings?"

"The meetings in which I call everyone to the living room so that we can talk about family related problems and vacations."

A look of realization came over Naruto. "Oh, so those must have been those times you would call everyone except never bothered calling me down when you had these meetings so I figured you didn't want me involved." He said while picking up the book again and went back reading.

The rest of the family went silent they realized that he was right about the meetings. None of them were able to remember him being in any of those meetings and both Minato and Kushina couldn't recall every calling him down for said meetings.

They were jolted out of their thoughts when Naruto suddenly snapped the book shut. "Finished! I gotta admit, I didn't expect that plot twist. Looks like Mikumi-chan was right." He said while standing up and stretches. "Now I just got to return the book to the library and take Mikumi-chan in a date before I leave." He whispered the last part to himself.

They watched as Naruto walked off towards the library. The rest of the Namikaze family look at each other shocked and surprised.

"Emergency family meeting."

NAMIKAZE LIVING ROOM

"Okay, the situation is that Naruto feels like he isn't part of the family. We need to make him feel like he's part of this family again." Minato said while pacing back and forth before sitting down.

"One thing's for sure, we need to remember to take him on vacations" says Mito.

Arashi nods. "We need to remember him, period. When was the last time any of us really interacted with him? We used to be close when we were younger, but that changed when I entered the academy. I didn't have as much time for him anymore with missions and training we drifted apart. Hell I can't even remember the last time he called me Nii-san or even asked me for help with his training." Arashi said out loud while trying to to remember the last time he spent time with his younger brother.

Minato sighed. "With me it's kinda obvious being Hokage didn't give me time to spend with him. I mean I have a whole village to run and that takes up a lot of my time and energy"

"I spent my time helping the twins with controlling the Kyūbi's power and training them to be the best kunoichi they could be."

"We were busy spending time with our friends, and training. I mean during the academy he wouldn't say anything to us. I never saw him with anyone besides Mikumi." Narumi said while Mito nodded in agreement.

"Really? That's the best excuses you all can come up with, have to say I'm not surprised. I mean come on at least come up with better excuses."

All of them turned their heads when they heard Naruto's voice. They were shocked to see him leaning up against the wall, "when did he get here and why could I sense him" where the thoughts of all five Namikaze members

"Naruto, I thought you were returning that book to the library." Kushina asked in a shocked voice.

"I had a shadow clone do that. I wanted to see what you five were up to when I left for the library. I must say, I'm must say your excuses are laughable and pathetic." He says while shaking his head.

"What do you mean?" Minato I said while glaring at him.

"Since you spoke up, dear Father, I'll start with you." Naruto said while walking behind Minato's chair.

"You use the Hokage excuse only when it comes to me. When Mom, Arashi, Mito, or Narumi need you for something, that excuse mysteriously disappears. It doesn't matter what time of day it is, nor what day it is. When one of those four need you, you go to them, and when I need you, you're busy. The last time I asked for your help was seven years ago, that was for fuinjutsu. Now I'm a level 6 seal master and I'm only a Chunin."
he replied.

Naruto walked over to the couch, where Arashi, Mito and Narumi were sitting.

"Now for my 'dear siblings' the same applies to you Arashi. Whenever I needed you for something you were busy with your ninja training, but when when the twins needed your help, you would drop whatever you were doing to go help them. Did it never even occur to you that I may have needed help with my own ninja training? It's funny how my training never got in the way of helping out my only friend."

He looked over at the twins and shook his head. "Mito and Narumi the Princess's and the heroes of Konoha. Your excuse only covers the times when you're not at the house, what about the time when you're in the house? Some of it is used by your training with Mom, that is true. However, what about the rest? You prefer spending time with Arashi, since he's the 'cool and strong brother'. Why would you want to spend time with the 'weak and lame' brother."

Naruto walked over to the remaining chair in the living room, where Kushina was sitting and she had a look of utter dread.

"And finally, we come to you, Mother. Your excuse of training the twins only covers their training when they were old enough to be trained. You didn't spend every second of every day training them, so what about all that remaining time? You had plenty of time to spend with me, but you would find other uses for it, such as spending time with your own friends, or with one of the other members of this family. I mean I don't blame you since you were probably embarrassed of your weak son, when I asked you to train me in Kenjutsu you said I didn't have the talent for it. But did you know that Yugao-sensei said that I was a natural I'm Kenjutsu."

"The truth is that I am not wanted here, I'm not a fool I mean look at the living room. Two chairs, and a couch for three people, perfect for a family of five, not six."

He gestures to the dining room. "The dining room, where five spots are set up every day, even though there are six chairs, and six members of the family. Notice how only five of the chairs are present. The sixth was broken six years ago and never repaired or replaced. Someone had to learn how to cook for themselves at a young age and I have to say I'm a pretty good chef."

Naruto walked over to the front door with a katana strapped to his back.

Kushina watched him, her eyes full of guilt. What made the whole situation uncomfortable was that Naruto didn't even raise his voice once. He was speaking with a calm voice the entire time. They were hoping for him to yell and shout to show some kind of emotion so they could at least know how he felt.

He wasn't angry mad or anything g like he was only stating facts. They were broken out of their thoughts by Naruto speaking again.

"So, I'm going to give you your wish, the one thing you all seem to want so badly."

"W-w-what are you talking about?" Asked Kushina with fear in her voice.

"You should look at my ninja records I mean I'm in the bingo book which surprised me. I guess I even Impressed the Fire Daimyō enough, that he personally asked me to become one of his Twelve Guardians for three years. I accepted and I'm leaving today."

"You can't go! You're too young! You're only thirteen!" Yelled out a shocked Kushina

"Technically once I put on this headband, I legally became an adult in the eyes of the Shinobi world. Old enough to kill old enough to make my own decisions."

Kushina turns to her husband. "Minato, stop him! You're the Hokage can't you do anything!" She Yelled with tears in her eyes.

Minato looked away in guilt. "I'm sorry Kishimoto-chan but I can't do anything my hands are tied. He already sent his reply and if I tried to stop him the Daimyō would have me removed from the position of Hokage. Unless I have a good enough reason to stop him from going like if he lost a limb or if he was mentally unstable."

Naruto shrugged his shoulders at Minato's response.

"I don't see why you're so against this, Kushina you don't seem want me here so I'm doing everyone a favor by leaving."

"That's not true! I do want you here! Please, give me a chance to make this right, I promise to train you I'll even give you attention." She cried out

"You should know that I hate pity, it's disgusting. You've had eight years to be a mother to me, and you failed. There is nothing you can do to change that now. I'm not interested in being part of this family anymore, you should know that I switched my last name to Uzumaki. Besides you have your perfect family of five." Naruto say's while looking at her.

"I've taken up too much of your time. Goodbye, Lord Hokage and Lady Namikaze. Thank you for giving me a place to stay for all these years, but I've dragged out your hospitality for far too long."

Naruto walked through the door and closed it behind him. Kushina stood there, frozen in shock, before falling back into the chair, sobbing. Hearing how she has failed with Naruto had broken her heart, but hearing him call her "Lady Namikaze" has shattered it completely.

She didn't even feel Minato's arms wrap around her, as he tries to comfort her. The remaining three kids just remained sitting on the couch, each of them in different degrees of shock and guilt. They didn't know what to say, their brother not only changed his last name but basically said he didn't view them as family broke their heart, how far have they fallen.

Village Gates

Naruto was walking towards the village gate, he was wearing a crimson red shirt under his Chunin flak jacket with a pure black katana strapped to his back his black Anbu style pants where tucked into his black steel toed combat boots. He checked his kunai and shuriken holster making sure they were full. As he made his way to the North gate he saw another person standing their and looking bored.

Mikumi Nara was the twin of Shikamaru, she took after every Nara in pure laziness when not in a fight. He noticed she was wearing her Chunin vest over her clan jacket and was wearing blue Anbu pants, and black Shinobi sandals. Her black hair was let down as they draped over her shoulders, her gentle gold eyes were looking around as she was checking her surroundings.

"So you finally showed up, I've been here for 10 minutes waiting for you, you're so bothersome." She yawned out with a pink hue on her cheeks while looking away from him.

"Sorry I had to take care of some stuff before I left and now I'm ready." Naruto says while smiling at her.

"Then let's head out."

This is the first chapter to my new story The Overlooked Namikaze.

The next chapter will be a three year time skip, and news about what happened will still be talked about.

Now Naruto won't hold a grudge he's going to give his family one more chance to be back in his life.

If you're wondering how Mikumi Nara looks like look up Blake Belladonna from RWBY

Arashi looks like minato with red hair while Narumi and Mito are miniature versions of Kushina
