LOOOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEEEE. Especially during Naruto's 7 year old phase. If only the canon had been this sweet.

Good job on this story and... ha-ha, little Naru was just too cute XD

Beautiful...just beautiful

Is there a continuation to this? It's really good!

Wow. Just... wow. very beautifully written!

Awwww what a cute family story! :) I've always wondered what it would have been like to see what Naruto missed out on. I love the warm scenes between Naruto and Minato especially- his dad is a big effect on his life in canon.

Thanks for this oneshot, you sure have a way with words!

Oh how I wish it did happen. But if it did, then we would never know the amazing world of Naruto and ninjas. And there'd be no fanfiction for us to enjoy. ;)

it's nice :)

good work

That was so beautifully written. I love how you captured different points of Naruto's life from different POVs. I especially enjoyed the "Naruto at 6 Mo." part, it seemed so intense and true to life, without being overly angsty or fluffy. The first part-Naruto at 3 Days- was simply stunning in its description and emotion, and the last part, Naruto at 12, was endearing and touching, but again with a touch of realism that kept it from descending into pure fluff.

A lovely piece overall. Kudos!

that was excellent and seven year old Naruto was hilarious.

That was absolutely beautiful. I can't help wishing that we'd get a chance to see a little further into the future though.

Lovely work even with all the life melodramas around. I love the scene where Naruto is playing Hokage. So cute. XDD

Oh God. I cried at this story. Mostly because the of the difference between the manga and this. It was heartbreaking. But it was also hilarious and sweet, so double points for that.

Thanks so much!
