"Hey Pervy Sage. Is it too early? I can come back later? You know what, nevermind. Well, Happy Father's Day. I just really had to tell you that. I know… I know that you aren't my real dad… But me, you, and Grandma Tsunade gotta stick together. We all kinda need each other. We all need a family. I miss you. I guess that was pretty obvious since I cry my stupid self to sleep every night. Sometimes I look for you. And sometimes I can't stand it and I go wake up Baa-chan. She gets mad sometimes…

It's like every time I close my eyes I just see you. And whenever I train all I wish for is you to tell me how good I did. To tell me that I've almost surpassed the Fourth Hokage. You sure did talk about that guy a lot… Sometimes I pretend you talk about me that much. I imagine you and Kakashi-sensei going out for some ramen. He asks you how I'm coming along. You smile knowingly and tell him that I'm doing just fine. Kakashi raises an eyebrow and ask you what you mean. You go into a detailed explanation about what we worked on that day. You brag about how quickly I caught on to the new technique and Kakshi wishes he had doted on me all those years instead of Sasuke. You give him a triumphant smirk before paying for your ramen and coming to find me because talking about me so much made you miss me. Then we go out for ice-cream and walk through the markets. Sometimes you tease me or bump into me and I get mad but then we both laugh and keep walking until we can't feel our feet or even our stomachs because we were laughing so hard.

Did you ever know how bad I felt at the end of the day when I counted up all the times I had called you old or perverted or both that day? I wished I could take it back but I never did. My grand total was higher than I could count. Pretty sad, huh?

That trip we took… It meant more to me than you know. You cared so much about me and you took care of me in those two years. You watched over me and treated me like I was someone precious to you. I remember when -"

Naruto stopped short and looked up from the K.I.A monument.

"Naruto… It's, uh, early…" Tsunade muttered, embarrassed. Naruto's eye's widened.

"Baa-chan! What are you doing here?' Naruto asked, flustered. Tsunade motioned towards the statue and gave a sad smile.

"He often talked about how much he thought of you as his own son. I thought that if there was a day he ever wanted to be remembered on, it would be today. He tried so hard to be an idol for you. He tried to fill that void. After all, you are his-" Tsunade stopped with wide eyes and looked away. Naruto frowned.

"I'm his what?"

"His… uh favorite student." Tsunade covered desperately. Naruto scowled.

"Baa-chan, please don't keep secrets about him from me." Naruto pleaded. Tsunade took a deep breath. After all these years, Naruto deserved the truth. Tsunade was just concerned about how he would take the news…

"You were his… Godson." Tsunade said, letting tears silently fall down her face at the quiet that met her statement.

"I was… what?" Naruto exclaimed. He put his head in his hands, crying softly. Tsunade frowned trying to wipe away her tears. Obviously he wasn't taking it all that well.

"He was? He was practically my family?" Naruto sobbed. Tsunade put her arms around him as he cried for the uncountable time at the loss of his Godfather. All those years that he spent with the man meant so much more to him now.

"But," Naruto said looking up. "That means he knew my parents?" Naruto asked with wide eyes. Tsunade just sighed and hugged him again.

"That, my boy, is a story for another time."

A/n Here's the second and possibly last installment of this story. I know, I'm a bit late again!
