Name: Minori Uzumaki Namikaze

Age: 6

He is the spitting image of his father, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze

It has been a good ten years since anyone has last seen the blond knuckle-headed ninja, Naruto Uzumaki. Most presumed him dead. Only the few that he was close to really know what happened to the once fun loving, hyperactive ninja. He ran away. Tsunade couldn't face to put him on the missing nin list, so she didn't. Nobody has heard from or seen him, many were loosing hope. That was, until one day, the new team seven, lead by none other than Sakura Haruno, was out on an escorting mission. They were hired by a wealthy, snobby, middle-aged woman who wasn't from around Konoha. In fact, she was from Mizu.

"Sakura sensei!", complained a short, blue haired girl, "Are we gonna be there soon? My feet hurt!"

Sakura sighed for what seemed to be the hundredth time that day. "We are about five miles away now, Hikaru."

After this, the blue haired girl remained silent. 'This reminds me of when me, Sasuke, and Naruto had to escort Tazuna, a bridge maker, to Kuni. She laughed to herself of those days, but, rarely talked about them.

Now the new team seven was about a mile away, and Hikaru and her team-mates, Ryuu and Kana, could make out a silhouette of a rather large town.

-MEANWHILE-

"Daddy! Daddy! Wake up! You're gonna sleep all day again!" A little boy whined as he shook his father awake.

"Alright, alright, Minori! I'm up, I'm up!" A blond haired man sighed as he rubbed his eyes with the back of his hand. He was dressed in nothing but his boxers, and somehow became covered on his futon.

"Dad! Come on! It's ten in the morning! You said you'd teach me some new techniques!" Minori, the little boy, continued to whine.

Both he and his father had the same golden blond hair and cerulean blue eyes. The only differences were the whisker markings on his father, and obviously, age.

"Did I fall asleep here? I don't even remember.... Damn." His father sighed and scratched his head.

"Hey! Naruto! Get your lazy ass up and help me out down here!" Shouted an angry voice.

"I'll be down in a minute, Kaede! Let me get dressed!" Naruto yelled back. He was obviously annoyed, "Hey, Minori, can you go see if Mrs. Kaede needs any help? I'll be down in a few. I promise not to fall back asleep like yesterday."

Minori huffed, but, reluctantly agreed.

"Mrs. Kaede, is there anything I can help with?" Minori called on his way down the flight of stairs to the elderly woman.

"Oh! Thank you, Minori! Actually, there is something you can do for me! You see, I need to go into town and get a few things, would you be so kind as to go for me? My knees are hurting me very badly today." Mrs. Kaede asked in her sweet old voice.

"Sure!" Minori grinned. "Um, do you have a list?"

"Oh! Can you remember the items without writing them down?" She asked and Minori started to nod his head. "Okay, I need bread, eggs, milk, and ramen." She listed off, but whispered the last part and Minori knew why.

His father ate the rest of the ramen. She was going to hide it again. Minori quickly gathered the money from Kaede and set off.

So he wouldn't forget the list, he repeated the items three times over in his head.

-Team Seven-

"All right, we're finally here!" Exclaimed an excited Kana.

"'Bout time..." Moaned a very warn out Ryuu.

"I'm hungry..." Hikaru said for the umpteenth time within twenty minutes.

"Alright, Ma'am, we're here. As promised, here is your pay. Thank you." The middle-aged woman said as she handed Sakura the money.

"Alright, lets get food." Sakura sighed as a loud cheer was heard from her whole team. ' At least they get along.' She thought to herself and sweat dropped.

After arguing where to eat, Sakura won and picked a little restaurant inn. It was small, two stories, and it was cozy.

Within a couple of minutes, the had group finally settled and sat down, when Minori came bursting through the entrance door yelling.

"Hey Kaede baa-chan! I'm back!" He yelled as he bolted past the group of girls. "And we got some customers!"

"Already? Alright, you know the drill... Your father isn't down here yet. I guess he's cleaning up. Or he he is planning to try to stay asleep all day!" Kaede sighed.

"I'll go get him... He probably fell back to sleep. Just like last time." Minori sighed as he walked back out of the back and up the stairs.

A couple of minutes later, yelling was heard.

"God fucking damn it! Minori! What the fuck!" Minori's father yelled at the top of his lungs.

"You weren't waking up! So I poured water on you! Get up! Baa-chan is right! You're a lazy bum, Dad!" Minori yelled back. Stomping could be heard.

"Get back here! Now Minori!" His father yelled angrily.

"No!" Was Minori's simple and defiant answer.

Then all hell broke loose. Running footsteps were heard and soon more yelling, "Minori! Don't you dare jump out of that-! You little brat!" Naruto yelled as his son jumped out the upper story window.

Team seven, who were watching and listening to the whole thing started to laugh as they saw the little boy land perfectly and run in the opposite direction of the house.

"Damn it! Kaede, I'll be right back. Fucking little brat! I swear I'm too young for this shit!" Huffed Minori's now extremely pissed father as he stomped down the steps, not bothering to button his shit up.

At that moment, as he ran past Sakura froze. She didn't move for what seemed like hours, but it was in fact only seconds.

"Miss, sorry about those two. They are so disruptive, even I don't know what to do with them. What my daughter saw in that man has me confused, bless her soul. But, I've got to admit, he's pulled through real well. He's just a little rough 'round the edges." Kaede chuckled.

"BAA-CHAN! He's gonna kill me!" Minori screamed as he ran back into the house. It would've been a understatement to say he was scared. The truth was, he was terrified of his dad at that moment.

"Minori, you're father wouldn't do that. He loves you to much. But, you might get grounded. Or-" Kaede couldn't finish because just then, the door burst open yet again only to show a young man with golden blond hair and cerulean blue eyes to team seven.

"Ooooh, you are so dead, kid. Just wait till I get my hands on you!" He threated, either completely ignoring the customers to his right, or just not noticing them.

"Oh fuck." The little boy said softly and gulped.

"What did you just say?" His dad was obviously trying not to laugh at what his six year old son just whispered and to make sure he knew he meant business.

All Minori could do was panic even more and gulp.

"Come here right now Minori." The elder blond said, standing up straight and motioning with his finger to come over to him.

Minori, knowing that he was in trouble, reluctantly let go of his grandma's dress and walked slowly over to his fuming father.

"Y-yes dad?" He chocked out.

"What did I tell you about pulling pranks on me when I'm asleep?" He asked, seething.

"Not to do it." Minori stated quietly.

"Then why?"

"'Cause you wouldn't wake up."

"What about the window? How many times have I told you not to do that?"

"About twenty times, sir." Minori was shaking now.

"And why?" His father asked grinding his teeth.

"I don't know... I just wanted to escape." He looked down at the ground, at his feet and his dads.

"Guess what you just earned young man..." His dad frowned.

"A can of ground..." Minori said still in his scared shitless voice. His dad just nodded.

"Alright, we get that he's in trouble, Naruto. We have customers..." Kaede butted in.

"I knew it!" Sakura almost yelled in excitement. "It is you, isn't it, Naruto Uzumaki!"

Visibly cringing at the outburst, he very slowly tuned his head to the woman who said it.

"Dad, do you know her?" Minori asked. "Yes Naruto, do you know her?" Kaede asked as well.

'Fuck.' Naruto mentally yelled at himself, "H-hi Sakura-chan!" He laughed half heartedly.

"Sensei, you know him?" Hikaru, Kana, and Ryuu asked in unison.

"Yeah, I do. No one has heard from him in ten years. So, why is that Naruto?" Sakura growled and began to crack her knuckles.

"I, I can explain! Wait! Sakura! Come on!" Naruto sputtered out, Minori started to laugh.

"So, start explaining. You're lucky Tsunade- sama hasn't reported you as a missing nin! Just wait till she hears this!"

"I HAVE BEEN KEEPING IN CONTACT WITH TSUNADE AND JIRAIYA!" Naruto yelled at last causing Sakura to stop her pursuit.
