Hey-o! Not much to say but thank you for reading. Enjoy!

Chapter One: One Happy Childhood

"Naruto!" Minato yelled from his spot in his Hokage study. He had his orange book out and was about to read until he had sat in his chair. The problem was that when he sat in the chair, a pink paint balloon exploded and covered his whole rear with it. He looked at the four shadows in his room before pointing out the door. "Go get my son!"

Naruto laughed as he ran through the hallways. He dodged the many shinobi around before making it to the streets of crowded people. He looked to see the Hokage's personal ANBU jump out the building. What made Naruto nervous more was that the four ANBU chasing him were the strongest ones that Minato could trust with him and his family.

One was Itachi Uchiha, also known as Weasel, who had became a guard when he was in his second year of being an ANBU. Nagato Uzumaki, also known as Shifter simply because his mask was blank, who was found by Jiraiya with Konan and Yahiko. The Rinnegan sold him out at being an Uzumaki and was taken here to be with some form of family. Kakashi Hatake, also known as Dog, who is on his fourth year of being an ANBU Captain. And lastly, Norboru Uchiha, also known as Bull, who was in his twenties and was very fond of Naruto. Mikoto, Itachi, Shisui, he, and few others were friends of the blonde while a lot weren't.

"Yikes!" Naruto yelled before activating the seals on his feet and running in a bolt of yellow and black through the streets as he shoved people quicker than the naked eye could catch. He then stopped in front of his house with heavy sigh. He walked, thinking he was in the clear, until he bumped into something. He fell onto his butt and looked up to see his father. "Shit."

Minato glared at his son. "What have I told you about playing pranks on me?"

Naruto smiled nervously and rubbed the back of his head. "Heh, to not do it. I could prank everyone I want as long as it isn't you, Kaa-chan, Nee-chan, and anyone else nice to me."

"Then why did you do it?" Minato asked the question on his mind.

"I just couldn't help it! You were pretty much asking to be pranked!" Naruto yelled out as his defense crossing his arms over his chest.

Minato sighed and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Just don't do it again. Aren't you supposed to be training in your dolls? Or better yet, your seals. You are on your way to being a master and we need seal masters with your capability."

Naruto puffed his cheeks out. "I don't want to do my seals. I am well past what anyone my age can do. And I already have three puppets made. Remember Ayuma and Daisuke?"

Minato raised an eyebrow. "What about controlling Hiroto, she is part of your great 'Trials of Destruction' team."

Naruto waved his hand dismissively. "They'll become that, I'm just not skilled enough to control three yet."

"Then we must get Tsunade to train you in your control!" Minato yelled in excitement as he dragged his begging son away to the Senju Compound.

When they made it there, Minato rang the doorbell and waited. It was when the door opened that he screamed out in terror and blocked his eyes with his free hand. In front of him was Jiraiya, naked in all his glory. Old glory that is. "Ero-sennin! How many times have I told you not to answer the door like that?!"

Jiraiya just smirked. "Then don't come. What is it anyway?"

MInato motioned with his head, still covering his eyes, to his son who was foaming at the mouth from the scene with glazed eyes. "Tsunade needs to get him to use his chakra better."

Jiraiya smirked. "Poor Naruto. He was so young."

"Your making it sound like I'm going to die!" Naruto yelled, snapping out of his daze.

Minato shook his head. "Just make sure she's dressed before coming over here."

Jiraiya rolled his eyes before walking away and looked for his wife. Minato waited inside the living room and held his son by the scruff of his shirt to make sure he doesn't run away. Despite this, he tried to run away five desperate times until Tsunade walked in with a smirk. "So my little guinea pig - err, godson has returned for the training of his life? That's just great."

Naruto screamed and tried to run away with more effort but it was fruitless. He was scared since the last time he had done chakra exercises.

Naruto was standing in front of his godmother with an excited expression. He was always a sponge when it came to learning and now he was going to learn how to control his chakra. "What are we doing first?"

Tsunade smirked. "I am going to be throwing these rocks at you until you can use that kunai to slice through five in one row."

Naruto looked at the kunai before him. "What? How am I going to do that?!"

Tsunade smirked. "Controlling your chakra. If you're hit enough, you'll learn how to control your chakra in order to protect yourself from the hits. Oh, and the kunai is dull so it won't deflect these rocks easily." Tsunade pulled out a large bucket of rocks the size of a baseball. "Oh yeah, so you don't try dodging it by moving..." Tsunade placed earth shackles on the blonde's feet to make sure he doesn't budge. She then grinned and grabbed a rock. "Let's begin."

Naruto started to whimper. "Not again. I was just barely cutting the rocks last time."

Tsunade shrugged and placed the earth shackles on Naruto again. She then took out a bucket of rocks that she kept in a large compartment in the floorboard. "Shall we start?"

Naruto grabbed onto his father's jacket with pleading eyes. "I'm sorry! Please don't leave me here with her!"

Minato shrugged off Naruto's hands and walked to the door waving. "Make sure he gets great chakra control in the end."

Tsunade smiled and grabbed a rock as Naruto took his kunai and weakly channeled chakra to the blade.

Four hours later, Naruto had gone through so much. He had gotten bruises only to have them be fully healed and continue on with his exercise. He had to say, though, that he was getting great chakra control with each passing half hour but wouldn't admit it because he'd have to go through more of the exercise. He was trying to use his strength to break the shackles but it never worked. He soon gave up and spent the rest cutting blocks the best he could.

At the end, the only reason he had to stop was chakra exhaustion. He was half awake when he was let out of the shackles and placed on the couch. Tsunade then kissed him on the forehead and ruffled his hair. "Great job, Naruto."

Naruto then fell asleep with a smile on his face. He woke up a day later with more determination and chakra. He stood up, let himself be shackled, then channeled chakra to his kunai. Tsunade smiled and grabbed a rock as Jiraiya walked in to sit in his recliner.

Naruto was used to being accurate and using his natural strength. He had easily gained the strength of an eleven year old when he was seven but that was the attributes of an Uzumaki. Limitless chakra reserves, long lives, and enormous strength.

Naruto kept his chakra on the kunai's blade to strike and cut three rocks. 'I'm getting better at this but I will never tell her or else I'l' have to do this more.'

Minato looked at the civilian and shinobi council, Itachi, and Naruto. He cleared his throat to gain the attention of the councils. "Last order of business, I am going to make our alliance with Suna stronger by an arranged marriage. And I'm taking my son with me."

Abruptly, a woman with pink hair stood up before screaming, "Why are you taking him? You should take an Uchiha like our little Sasuke!"

The civilian council nodded. The reason they were voting for the one of few Uchiha live through the Massacre is because they wanted Minato to like him more than his demon son and daughter. They had pampered him even when the Uchiha and Minato forbade them. This made the raven avenger an egotistic kid, his head filled with lies.

Minato glared at her. "No. I will not take a boy that only wants power to avenge his clan. Though, there is no problem with avenging their death, my problem is that he acts like he has a damn pole up his ass. More than the Hyuga, no offense Hiashi-san."

"No problem." The Hyuga clan head told the man with a nod.

"And the next time you ignore what I tell you not to do, I will have your head. Am I understood?"

The pink-haired woman nodded slightly, fuming. The shinobi council smirked at them. Minato then sighed. "I will be taking my son and Itachi, no one else. But, what I ask of the shinobi here is who would elect their daughter to be put into an arranged marriage with one of the Kazekage's six and seven year old sons. I will not force you."

"Why not have your daughter do it?" A shinobi asked.

"Because she is already pre-married to the cousin of Hiashi Hyuga." Minato replied.

It was a second before someone's hand raised. Kakashi had his hand raised while looking into his book. "I nominate my six year old daughter, Kyouki Hatake."

Minato nodded. "Then Kakashi will also come with me on the mission with his daughter. Oh, and before I forget, I will be having Tsunade and Jiraiya fully in charge while I'm gone."

The shinobi nodded as the civilian grumbled under their breath and Minato smiled. "Then this meeting is adjourned."

Everyone except Naruto and Itachi and the blonde boy looked up at his father. "Are we actually going to see Gaara-san, Konkuro-san, and Temari-chan?"

Minato smiled and nodded. "Yes, of course. I wonder how Gaara is doing, though."

Naruto nodded and continued to wait for his friend and Kakashi. He had been friends with Kyouki for so long that he couldn't remember. He supported her in everything she did and will always do. But Natsumi and Kyouki had a bigger bond only because they had a lot more in common being girls and all.

Kyouki wore a mesh shirt under a black shirt like her mother but wore black ANBU pants. She had brown hair like her mother but had her father's eyes and, somehow, perverseness. She always had a smile unless someone hurt any of her friends and or their feelings.

When Kyouki entered, she smiled and waved at Naruto.

Naruto smiled when he saw Kyouki and waved. "Hi, Kyouki-chan."

Kyouki smiled back. "Hi Naruto-kun."

Minato then clapped his hands. "Are you all ready to go on the long trip?"

Naruto looked quickly at his father. "Wait, I need my puppets!"

Naruto used his Haraishin and made it all the way home to grab his scroll of puppets. The Trials of Destruction trio consisted of Ayumu which was a big bulky man that carried a warhammer, Daisuke which was a scrawny man that carried two sai's, and now Hiroto who use a pair of hook swords.

Naruto sighed and quickly ran to the gate where his father, Kakashi, Kyouki, and Itachi were waiting. He made it to them and breathed a quick exhale. "I'm ready."

Everyone nodded and set off.
