The fall back and the runaway
2 Year time skip
It's been about two years since Naruto had come back form Trickster Ally and Kurama was furious! When Naruto had come back to his family, Kurama hoped that things would change, and they did, for a few months. The day after the little curly blond-haired, mismatch eyed, whiskered cheek bundle of brains came back to his red and yellow-haired family, they did everything together, and that made Kurama happy. They trained together, ate together, went out to the park together, it was so much togetherness that it was almost smothering. When Minato's belly got bigger, Kurama told Naruto about his father's clan, since he had met some members of the Namikaze clan back in his younger days, Naruto understood and surely enough he had more questions to ask which the old fox was happy to answer for him. After getting all the details he could out of his tenant, he made it his job to help out around the house as best he could, he cleaned, reached things that were too low for Minato to reach in his pregnant state, and he even cooked dinner for the whole family once or twice when Kushina was too busy to. The best thing about when he cooked, the hose didn't burn down, plus he summoned Hidi to help, though she mostly reached things that were too high up or read out the directions to him, operate the oven, stuff like that and every dish he made tasted great. The food that he made was so good that Minato had begged for Naruto to cook for him more often even though the boy was only five at the time, but Naruto agreed anyways.
During the months that Minato was stuck in bed due to the extra weight of his unborn children, he was gladly offered the best room service that a five-year-old with a high IQ could provide. Kushina felt a little put out that her five-year-old son was being asked to do all the things that she usually did for the family, but got over it once she tasted how good his food was, from then on she made it a point to help out her curly-haired son. Shio asked for some cooking lessons because, even though her brother, Ryu, was dating Itachi, she had a crush on the Uchiha prodigy and wanted to see if she could win his heart from her brother, she failed in every attempt. However, she wasn't too let do by it for long because Naruto made her some 'broken heart cake' that cheered her right up. While that was going on, M.J. taught Naruto, in secret, the Rasengan not expecting for his youngest brother to master the jutsu so quick, it took Naruto under a month to master, M.J. didn't know at the time that Ryu had also taught their youngest bother a jutsu: Shadow Clone Jutsu. After learning the Shadow Clone Jutsu from Ryu, he used it to help him clean the house and make lunch and dinner, but he left breakfast to his mom since she was feeling left out at home. Naruto also used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to study and continue his training with Kurama in secret. It was with these clones that Naruto found out about all the villager's hate for Kurama by showing a few of his clones on very very many occasions what they truly felt about him, the vessel of the Kyuubi. It was also with the Shadow Clones that he found out how much Donzo wanted to turn him into one of his ROOT agents, it was after getting by those memories that Naruto made it his mission to avoid the cripple mummy and his ROOT soldiers at all cost.
Then, of course, Minato hat the triples, that day, and almost half the night, his screams of agony and pain were heard throughout the village. Kushina got to experience what every husband goes through when their wives were delivering, although, if possible, Minato's delivery was more.... emotional? Yeah lets say that, emotional, because it took Tsunade, Kushina, Shizuna, Shio, and the rest of the medics in the room to convince Minato to go of the newly born triples so they could be checked out, it also took all of the medics in the room calm the blond Hokage down whenever one of the triples started whimpering in their sleep. When Tsunade tried to give one of the newborn children their shots so they couldn't get the flu and die or something (I forgot what those are called), Minato had to be taken out of the room and sedated, because he was disturbing the peace too much. Kushina made a mental note of all of this and went back to read up more on the Namikaze clan to find out as to why her husband was acting more hysterical than an overprotective mother when her baby is being taken away for no reason. She found out that all the Namikaze males that do get pregnant not only become flooded with hormones after they deliver but their bodies slowly become more feminine after each pregnancy until they turn into an almost complete woman, save for their manhood, which only shrinks down to half size by that point. It was by the end of that year, after Naruto turned six, that he took note of how often his family was starting to forget him again just like before. Minato had given birth to three boys: Menma, Kohaku, and Neko.
Menma had blond spiky hair and green eyes.
Kohaku had short red hair and blue eyes.
Neko, somehow, had hair and eyes like his brother, Naruto, but he was a curly redhead with blue and green eyes, he was also the only one who was born with whisker marks.
After seeing Neko's face for the first time, and he was also under so meds that help with the pain of male delivery, Minato named him Neko because at the time he thought he was staring at a cat.
Flashback
"Uuhh, Minato, why'd you name him Neko?" Kushina asked her husband while she held Menma and Tsunade held Kohaku.
Minato turned slightly unfocused eyes to his wife, "because he's a cat," he slightly slurred.
Kushina looked at Tsunade with a raised eyebrow, "he's on a high dose of painkiller, he'll come out of it by tomorrow," the blond medic said.
Kushina nodded, they put the triplets in their respective bassinets and went to sleep for the night, the next morning Minato woke up feeling like he had been feeling like he'd been run over by three Rikages. He looked around the room and saw Kushina taking pictures of each of their older children holding their newborn siblings, it was a sweet moment.
When they noticed that he was awake, Kushina came over to him, "hay their sleepy head, how do you feel?"
"Like the Rikage and his sons took turns stomping on me," Minato said groggily, he looked over to his newborn children, "so what did we name them ?"
"You don't remember dad?" Shio asked holding Menma as if he was made out of glass.
Minato shook his head, but that gave him a small headache, "man those were some strong painkillers," he said.
Kushina looked between her older and younger kids, debating on whether she should tell him or not, she finally turned back to her husband. A smile on her face, "well, you named him *points to Menma* Menma, you named him *points to the child Ryu was holding* Kohaku after you aunt, and this guy is Neko," she said as to brought M.J. closer to Minato as he was holding the said child.
"Huh? Neko? Why would I name him that?" Minato asked looking at Kushina as if she had grown a second head.
"Well dad, he has whiskers, so I guess you were trying to be funny or something," M.J. shrugged.
"Whiskers?" Minato looked down at the newly born Neko that was now in his arms, looking up at his father with mismatch eyes, Minato blinked a few times before he started to chuckle, "hay there Neko, I hope you like your name, because I think it suits you quite well."
"Seriously dad, why are you naming him that? The kids are going to make fun of him when he gets older," Naruto said while Kibo nodded his head in agreement. Said fox was sitting onto of Naruto's head and almost completely blended with the main if it wasn't for him nodding his head.
Minato chuckled again, "don't worry Naruto, with looks like ours, they won't be making fun for long. Besides, a few name-callings never hurt anybody too bad, right?"
Naruto looked at his dad for a while before whispering, "I hope your right."
Flashback end
When they brought Menma, Kohaku, and Neko home, they fussed over the three babies endlessly. However, when three babies turned one, it became clear that Neko wasn't as loud and rowdy as the rest of his family, he was like Naruto, he would rather read than run around in the grass, but that's not to say that he didn't like doing it from time to time. Naruto ended up spending more and more time with Neko, teaching him how to read and write, all the things he had learned on his own when his family ignored him before. A little before Naruto's seventh birthday, he realized it, he was in denial before but he realized it now. Not even trying to do so, he had turned into a servant of the family, he couldn't believe how much of a fool he had been until now, he cooked, cleaned, washed their clothes and took care of everything else around the house, he was even the one to watch Menma, Kohaku, and Neko while the others either trained, went on missions, or were at the office. Kurama had noticed it the year before and tried to tell Naruto about it, but Naruto still wanted to believe that his family wasn't doing what they did to him before. He was right though, they weren't as bad as before, no they were worse than before, and what drew the line was that he saw them doing the same thing to Neko. Naruto was boiling in rage at that, not only neglected him again, but they were also abandoning Neko, But why? No that didn't matter, he had to think of a plan to either make them remember both of them, or at least Neko, or he had to escape and take Neko with him so they could start over.
