Summary: Life has been peaceful for Naruto over the years. But the Akatsuki suddenly reappear and they have a new target. But who….
In a cave hidden deep in the Rice Country….
"So what did you call us for Leader?" The most dangerous S-Rank criminals to ever team up, the Akatsuki are called to a meeting by their leader, Pein. "It's new information regarding our target. It seems he will be arriving soon, so we must prepare. Itachi, Kisame, Deidara, Tobi, I am assigning you the duty of collecting the kid."
"To think a brat could be more powerful than you Leader. Hmm."
"That's why we need him on our side."
"Sempai, what are you talking about?" Tobi says, scratching his head. Deidara scowls, "A stupid brat you imbecile!"
"WHAT!! Sempai you're having a kid! I never knew. Congrats!
Deidara's eye twitches, "You're gonna pay for that." A clay snake suddenly wraps itself around Tobi and proceeds to strangle him.
"Good'" Kisame says, "I want to pay that kyuubi brat back (try saying that 5 times) for our last fight." A sadistic smirk forms on his face, showing off his shark-like teeth.
"Yes." Itachi says as he watches Pein trying to stop Deidara from killing Tobi. "And it would be nice to see Naruto-kun again."
In Konoha…
"Ah…Ah….AHHCCHOOO!! 'sniff' It looks like a pretty girl is somewhere out there talking about me."
Here we meet the #1 unpredictable knuckleheaded loud mouth ninja, Naruto, in an office…sitting quietly…doing paperwork….wait, what?
He leans back on his chair, "It's peaceful and quiet…AAHHMOOU!!" He claws his head, "IT'S BORING!! But then again…" he stops and looks at the statues of the previous hokages, "this is what you guys have always wanted, ne?"
Our favorite blond is now 25 years old, married and is now the 6th hokage. Tsunade and Kakashi had been training and preparing him for this for many years and when they announced it to the council and village, they were totally with it. Maybe they finally realized that they were wrong about Naruto or maybe they were afraid of Tsunade. I mean come on; pissing Tsunade off is like walking up to a 400lbs grizzly bear and slapping its snout.
Naruto smiles; being hokage is great. There are no more hateful stares from the villagers and they are beginning to respect him now. His friends…they are all jounins, except for Sasuke who is an ANBU. He finally settled down with, yeah…you guessed it, Sakura. They have 2 kids and lives in the outskirts of Konoha. Sakura's the head doctor at the Konoha hospital because Tsunade's one of the advisors (good thing too, someone has to be there to stop Naruto from making some stupid decisions like declaring a day for ramen). The others are doing well; they have their own teams although all the persons on Lee's team are wearing spandex and keep talking about 'power of youth' (shudders). Kakashi sensei…he's still a jounin though he's now working in Interrogation as has proven that he can be just as sadistic as Ibiki.
Puts pen on desk- "Ah…finished" he looks outside; it was pitch dark, "Holy crap! It's that late? I'd better get home."
He makes a couple hand signs and disappears in the blink of an eye. He reappears behind his wife, sneaks up on her and hugs her
"Gotcha! "
"EEK!! Naruto-kun! You know I hate it when you do that."
"Man it's good to be home. Hello beautiful." He kisses his wife, Hinata, who is due in a week with their first child, a son. Naruto is ecstatic and a bit nervous about going to be a dad and he can't wait for his son to be born. He kneeled on the floor and hugged Hinata's belly saying, "Hey little guy. Can't wait to meet you…Minato." Hinata smiles at this.
You see, Naruto found out years ago that the 4th hokage, Minato Namikaze, was his father. Kakashi had given him a letter saying that Minato told him to give it to Naruto 'when he is at an age where he will understand.' In the letter Minato explained that Naruto's mother, Kushina, died giving birth to him the same night kyuubi attacked the village. He, Minato, had to choose between doing nothing and die with his son and the rest of the village or sacrifice himself to seal the demon into his son, save them all and hope that Naruto will live an almost normal life. So he decided to seal the demon into his son, knowing that he'll never live to see him grow up.
At first Naruto was in disbelief. To think that the 4th was actually his father and he wondered if he could ever forgive for what he went through. But after he made friends, got married and found out that he's going to be a father, he began to realize how difficult it was for his father to make that decision. So Naruto decide to name his son, Minato, in his father's honor.
A soft 'thump' brings him back to the present.
'Gasp' "Look Naruto-kun! He moved!"
"Yeah I heard it. You know…" he stands up, "you shouldn't be up on your feet for so long."
"You worry too much Naruto-kun. Remember, I'm still a kunochi," she gives him a punch on the arm; he winces," I can still kick your butt anytime." She laughes at the face he made.
"Yeah you're right," He says, rubbing his arm, "but I just want you and Minato to be ok."
"I'm fine really." She gives him a hug," Now come on, it's time for dinner and no it's not ramen." His smile slides off his face like wet mud. They had a dinner consisting of chicken and veggies (how she weaned him off ramen, we will never know ) and went to bed. Hinata quickly fell asleep; Naruto couldn't. He couldn't shake the uneasy feeling in his stomach.
He smiles. It has been a while since he had this feeling, he got the same feeling when he went to rescue Sasuke from the clutches of the Akatsuki, how he and Sasuke teamed up and defeated Itachi, how he (Naruto) kicked Kisame in the nuts when he (Kisame) tried to rescue Itachi…
"Naruto-kun?" He looks over to find Hinata looking intently at him "Are you ok?"
"Yeah," he gives her a squeeze," I'm fine. Go back to sleep." She wasn't entirely convinced but she goes back to sleep. He sighs and looks up to the ceiling, "Why do I have the feeling something bad is going to happen?"
