Baby Naruto

9

-Naruto's POV-

I woke up, expecting to see Itachi but all I saw was Pein's chair and table without a pein and Konan in the room.

I realise that I was in a cot next to Pein's table and I quickly look around.

"Daddy?" I call out.

No answer.

"Deidei?"

"Hii?"

"Sori?"

"Kuzu?"

"Tsu?"

"Same?"

"Tobi?"

"Kon? (Konan)?"

Still no one answered.

I slowly climb out of the cot and crawl towards the door.

As soon as I open it, a figure stood in my way.

I was about to yell and scream when he spoke in a familiar voice.

"Oh, Fishcake. You're awake." Pein asks looking down.

"Uncle Carrot! Where's Daddy? And everyone?" I ask tilting my head slightly.

"Everyone's gone on a mission to get a few things." Pein replies.

"Where?" I ask.

"You don't need to know. Now, since we're here, why don't we play a game?" Pein asks.

I smile as he ruffles my hair.

He then picks me up and heads downstairs.

"Uncle Carrot! What game are we gonna play?" I ask.

"Hm, why don't we play in the swimming pool?" Pein suggests.

"Yay! Swimming!!" I yell in excitement.

Pein chuckles a bit before heading outside to a large lake.

I immediately jump in.

"Wait! Fishcake! You'll catch a cold if you swim straight away like that." Pein sighs as I already splash around in the water.

"Uncle Carrot! Come in too!" I yell happily.

"I'll stay here. You enjoy the swim. But if you catch a cold, it's not my fault." He says.

"OK!!" I yell heading deeper in the lake.

I dive down and look around.

I saw fishes, dolphins and other sea creatures swimming around.

"Uncle carrot!!" I pop my head out of the surface of the water to wave and give him a grin.

He gives me a small but genuine smile and waves a bit back.

I snicker and dive back under the water.

I look around a bit and found an underwater cave!

The cave is a small air pocket, there's air inside so I could breathe.

Oh this could be my secret base!

I grin to myself.

-Pein's POV-

I look out at the water.

Naruto's been gone a while.

He hasn't come up to breathe...

He can't breathe underwater can he?...

I start to worry.

Dang it!
