Disclaimer:I do not own Naruto.
Name, Minato Uzumaki
Age, 13
Occupation, Shinobi
I was named after Minato Namikaze, the fourth Hokage and the man who save the leaf village from the nine tailed demon fox. My father is Naruto Uzumaki, the current Hokage and the ninja that saved the leaf countless times and ended the fourth shinobi war by defeating Obito Uchiha and the Juubi. My Mother is Hinata Hyuga. She was once suppose to become the leader of the Hyuga clan but gave the position to her sister in order to marry my father. Now I am sure there is one thing that you are asking yourself. Am I a great Shinobi? Do I live up to the name that was given to me? Did I surprise all of my peers by showing them I was above average like my father did. The answer is simple.
No
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Minato reached out from under his covers and flailed his arm around randomly trying to find his alarm in order to makings it's annoying sounds stop. Finally he stopped the beeping and slowly arose from his bed. He peered in to the mirror on his wall. His hair was blond like his fathers but straight.
Minato turned toward his night stand to see a shining headband. "Thats right. I passed my exam yesterday." Minato quickly showered and got dressed. He put on a blue shirt with an orange jacket over it and wore dark blue pants with his weapon pouch strapped to his right thigh. He tied his new headband and made his way down stairs. He entered the kitchen to find his mother making breakfast and his three year old sister Hitomi eagerly awaiting to be feed.
"Minato! Minato! Breakfast time!" Hitomi said with excitement
"I know Hitomi, I'm hungry too." Minato sat down as Hinata put down a plate for him. "Is dad around?"
"No, he left early to help Moegi get ready for the graduation ceremony. Speaking of which, are you excited to get your team assignment?"
"Yeah I guess." Minato looked down at his plate and stared at his deformed reflection. "Hey Mom?"
"Yes dear?"
"Do you think Nagato will make it to the ceremony?" Hinata stopped her cooking for a short moment and then continued. "I don't think so Minato."
"Oh." Minato said with a sigh. "It's alright. I bet he's too busy with missions."
Hinata turned to he son knelt down so she was eye level with him. "I am sure that Nagato wishes he could go Minato."
"Whatever."
Minato quickly finished his food and got up to leave.
"Hitomi and I will be at the academy once the ceremony starts. Have a nice day."
"Cya later." Minato said as he shut the door.
On his way to the academy, Minato passed two women who began to whisper to each other thinking Minato couldn't here them but he could.
"Isn't that the Hokages son?"
"It is. He must be on his way to the academy graduation ceremony."
"He just graduated? At thirteen? Wasn't his brother seven when he became a genin?"
"Thats right. He had only one year of training. I guess he just isn't as talented"
"Everyones expectations for me were high and I didn't meet them" Minato thought to himself "It's not that the villagers think I am a failure, but right now were at war. People are calling it the fifth great shinobi war. Great and talented ninja are needed and I am the son of the Hokage. People expect me to a prodigy. But I'm not. I am just average." Minato let out a long sigh. "But whats wrong with being average?" Minato asked himself.
Soon enough he came upon the academy where parents were starting to gather with their children. Minato looked around for his father but was having trouble finding him.
"I'm surprised an idiot like you managed to graduate Minato." Said a voice from behind Minato
"Oh no" thought Minato as he turned around to greet his best friend and rival Takashi Uchiha. Takashi had dark hair like his father and was a bit taller than Minato. He had a light blue hoodie with the Uchiha symbol on the back with long pants.
"I thought you would be too busy looking at yourself in the mirror in order to show up to graduation." Said Minato
"What would make you think that I would miss this? I am the top graduating student after all. I have to make an appearance."
"Get over yourself Takashi. Your sister had the highest grades and everyone knows she was the top student."
"Thats just cause I let her. I didn't want my sister to feel bad about herself."
"What was that Takashi?!"
Takashi's body went stiff as he could hear his twin sister coming up behind him. Sakiko Uchiha was the best student in their class. She learn the most ninjutsu, was skilled in Taijutsu, and had begun learning genjutsu. She had long pink hair in a pony tail. She wore a dark shirt with the Uchiha symbol on the back with shorts.
"I didn't say anything sis."
"Really? Cause I thought you said that you let me graduate at the top. Why don't you prove it with a little sparring match right now." Sakiko cracked her knuckles.
"I was joking sis, I mean it."
"You better have been."
"Maybe we all need to calm down." Said Minato. "Were shinobi now. Our parents wouldn't act this way." Just then an argument could be heard near the academy entrance.
"What was that!?"
"I said that a loser like you could have never become Hokage without my help."
"Whatever! If it wasn't for me you would be rotting in jail right now."
The children pushed their way through a gather crowd to find their fathers going head to head. "I don't even wanna know how this started" Minato thought.
Sakura came up and separated both of them. "Thats enough out of the two of you. You came here to see your children graduate not get in another pointless argument."
Sasuke took a step forward. "But he was the one-"
"I said that was enough dear." Sakura said as she cracked her fist.
"Of course dear." Sasuke said trying to keep his cool
"She's as scary as Sakiko." Thought Minato
Minato rushed forward to meet with his father.
"Hey dad!"
"Yo! Minato!" Naruto put his hands on his sons shoulders "Today is gonna be a great day!"
"You're really that excited for gradutation?"
"Of course! My son is gonna be a shinobi and not only that, but we get to go to Ichiraku later."
"Seriously!? YES!" Minato leaped in the air and threw up his fist.
"Like father like son I guess." Thought Sasuke
"Alright! Lets get this show on the road!" Said Naruto. All of the parents and the children began to gather in the training field. Graduation had become a much bigger deal in previous years. Naruto wanted every parent to be there as their children were assigned teams. Naruto believe that there was nothing more important to a shinobi than his comrades. Naruto began going down the list of names, assigning them the various teachers.
"And finally, Minato Uzumaki, Takashi Uchiha, and Sakiko Uchiha are assigned to team 7 lead by Arata Nakamura."
"Team 7? And the children of his best friends as my squadmates? There is no way this was a coincidence." Thought Minato
Minato's family had gathered outside the academy. Once the squad assignments had finished.
"Congrats Minato." Said Hinata
"Good job son. You got a great squad."
"You set that up didn't you dad?"
"I have no idea what your talking about. It was just luck of the draw."
"Papa cheated!" Yelled Hitomi
"Thats not true Hitomi. Papa just bended the rules a little."
"That doesn't sound much better Naruto." Said Hinata
"My whole family is turning against me. Where is Nagato when I need him?"
"He would probably side with us." Said Hinata
The Uzumaki family enjoyed a night of celebration at their favorite ramen shop. Later that night Minato had trouble sleeping.
"I'm finally a shinobi with my own squad. I wonder what my teacher will be like. I wonder what missions will be like. I'm really excited but scared at the same time."
In the morning Minato, Takashi, and Sakiko all gathered at the training field.
"Morning Minato." Said Sakiko
"Good morning" said Minato with a yawn. "Is our sensei here yet?"
"Nope. Maybe the guy heard that he was training an Uchiha and got scared." Said Takashi
"I heard that you were full of yourself." Said a voice from behind the teens. They all turned to see a young man with Brown hair and light eyes. He wore a traditional Jonin vest and had a Katana strapped to his back. "It's gonna take a bit more that a kid to scare me off though."
"Are you Arata-sensei?" Asked Sakiko
"The one and only. Nice to meet all of you." Arata reached into his pocket and pulled out two silver bells. "I guess we should get started then."
