Oh!

[He smiles widely, he hasn't smiled this much since... well, the last time he met her. And since she doesn't remember, he thinks he should repeat those words he said to her once before.]

I know you don't remember right now, but you told me all about the things you and Dad did for me! I'm really glad I'm your son!

[As for where he is though...] We're all the over in Cianwood right now... but I bet if I ask Obito or Tenten I can borrow one of their flying pokemon to come out and meet you!

[Seeing him smile like that makes her feel much better about the whole thing. And hearing him say that just makes her wish even more that he was here in person. She meant every word of what she said but was a little bit worried about disappointing him, not being able to recall, and worrying about how he'd feel about having to become the jinchuuriki.

She'll just be making sure to hug him extra firmly when she does finally see him face to face.

Give her a second, she's got a few more tears going there, and the most distracting, swelling, peaceful feeling in her heart. This would be absolutely perfect if Minato could be here to hear this.]

I'm so happy that we could be your parents...

[Seriously, if she gets any happier right now she's going to burst. Maybe she's not supposed to be here, and part of her wants to be with Minato again, but if this is a chance to be with Naruto, she's going to take it and hope Minato hurries his butt along to join them. COME ON YELLOW FLASH YOU'RE GETTING RUSTY]

Should I meet you guys in the next town?

[Sorry Naruto she's probably going to assume Tenten is your girlfriend, by the way.

While she reaches up to rub at her eyes her Chimchar peeks his head into the feed from over her shoulder. He's curious about this person on the other side of the gear whose MAKING HER CRY. :|]

I'm gonna go ask them right now how long it's going to take to get over there! Where are you, did you leave that little town already? The one with the weird mom in it- she tells everyone she's their mom she's really weird!

[In fact he's rushing along with the pokegear in han as he keeps on talking]

Is that your starter Pokememon? Hehe! I have this funny little tadpole thing!

[That's really not a bad idea. Kushina will grab her backpack and get moving again, back to the main road.]

Once I realized there wasn't anyone else there and I wasn't getting any answers I left. And I guess so, this is Konjo. [She grins at that, and Konjo salutes by way of greeting.

Kushina laughs a bit at the tadpole bit.]

Really? I guess that would be pretty fitting, since your father had the contract with the toads.

[even if she was a brat and called them frogs until there were consequences to be had]

I have a contract with them too!

There's Gamakichi and Gamabunta and oh! Sennin-ji-chan and Kaa-chan too and all these other ones I've met!

Eh? Sennin-ji-chan? You've met them? Does that mean you've been training in the sage-art? [Color her surprised. Hey, SHE DIDN'T GET TO FIND OUT ALL OF THIS STUFF YET.]

Yeah, I have!

What's more, with your help, I was able to take control of the Kyuubi's chakra too!

[Now THAT is good news-- and he'd mentioned that before hadn't he? Meeting her previously that is. This brings about another question, though. How long has it been?]

And how old are you now? How old were you when we met?

I'm sixteen! And it wasn't that long before I ended up coming here, maybe a week or something.

[Sixteen already, and already trained in the sage art and mastered the nine-tails chakra! For a minute she just smiles and the pride is practically glowing.]

You really have grown into an amazing ninja then, haven't you? Not that I had any doubts that you would. [You can believe that 100%.]

[All he can do is grin and nod- his Mother's praise is one of those things he didn't realise he needed so badly until he got it.]

I won't stop there though! I have to get even stronger and surpass all the previous Hokage!

Does that mean you're planning on becoming Hokage yourself? [TELL HER ALL ABOUT YOUR DREAMS. She wants to hear all about you.]

Of course! It's been my dream, I'm definitely going to be become Hokage! [BELIEVE IT.]

Heck yeah! That's our boy!

[Whatever the commotion is about, Kushina's pokemon wants in on it because now he's mirroring her pose.]

Chimchar!

I won't let you down!

[Oh- okay the monkey breaks his concentration for a moment because hah, it's amusing.]

Haha, that guy there seems really pumped too!
