{ Author Story } - Naruto Uzumaki, 3 Months before being married.

"... Who are you and what are you doing here?" The voice said behind as a kunai was placed on his throat.

Freezing in place, the unknown man thought for some seconds before he responded.

"I'm Akira," Akira said hurriedly before continuing carefully, "And... I don't know how I came here..."

Naruto, who was holding the kunai on his throat, narrowed his eyes as caution flashed in his eyes.

His wife, Hinata Hyuga, was pregnant and they were preparing to marry shortly before their firstborn came into this world.

And an unknown man suddenly appearing in such a situation was not only unsettling but worrying.

Suddenly, Naruto's eyes widened in surprise as he glared at the man.

Since the situation was very weird and uncommon, Naruto wasn't paying any attention to the man's face or head, but when he glanced at his eyes, at his hair, Naruto couldn't contain the surprise from appearing in his eyes.

There was no way he couldn't recognize the pure red hair.

"You... You're an Uzumaki?" Naruto asked seriously glancing one last time at Akira's red hair.

"Uzumaki?" Akira responded in even more confusion as he glanced at the long red hair on his shoulder and murmured to himself, "Red hair?... This is mine?..."

Looking at Akira becoming more and more confused, Naruto sighed as he put his kunai back and said, "I'm sorry in advance but we will need to test you."

Seeing more and more ninjas appearing from the shadows, Akira instantly understood what he meant.

Sighing, Akira responded, "I don't have any choice, do I?"

In response, Naruto could only stay quiet as the other ninjas took Akira into the Village.

Looking at where Akira was being led, the distant Hokage Office, Naruto shook his head and ran toward his home.
