Naruto ran. He ran passed the ANBU who were supposed to be able to watch him. He ran away from the angry mob that was trying to kill him. But worst of all he ran passed the cold glares and cutting words that no four year old should have had to hear. Where he was going he, himself, didn't know. All while the mob was catching up. In a last ditch effort he ran to the gates where he hoped no one was there. Unfortunately, fate was not very kind to him and he was suddenly surrounded by a bunch of drunks.

"Well, looky here. We've got us a demon brat," the first man stated. He wasn't the tallest, but he was the fattest.

"I think we should just kill it," replied the second man. He was the drunkest and probably the only one who wanted to kill it for fun instead of revenge.

"NO," the third man ordered. "Let's put it through as much pain as possible. We'll let feel the pain we felt when it took our families. Then we'll kill it without mercy."

Then the beating started. The first man kicked the blonde in the stomach cracking his ribs. The second man picked him up and slammed his head into the ground, not hard enough to crack his skull but with enough force to give him a major concussion. The third man picked up a large stick and hit him in the legs resulting in the breakage. The beating continued and no one came by.

In the Woods of Konoha

A man with sunny blonde hair stood in the forest near the village he had once protected. For some reason he was alive, he should have been dead after sealing the Nine Tails. But Kami had given him a second chance. The question was though is how he was going to gain back Konoha trust. The man was no other than Minato Namikaze also known as, The Fourth, The Yondaime, Konoha's Yellow Flash, husband, and Dad to a certain blonde boy. As Minato continued to walk he heard the cries and whimpers of someone in pain. He followed the cries to find three drunken men beating on a small boy who had a mixture of red and blonde hair. The closer he got though the more he realized that the child didn't have red hair but it was blood.

In a flash of yellow he was pushing the drunkards off the little boy, he then grabbed said little boy and brought him safely to a roof. The child continued to whimper in pain. Every time he moved the childs whimpers grew louder.

"Shh its okay, I'm not going to hurt you," Minato soothed.

"Please don't hurt me. I'm sorry for living please just don't hurt me," the little blonde boy cried.

"Kid I said I'm not going to hurt you, so I'm not going to hurt you. I don't go back on my word kid. Now, what's your name," the elder blonde asked nicely holding the child on his lap cradling him carefully.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki," Naruto said softly. Minato frowned, he had a sun named Naruto but the last time he had seen him was when he was sealing Kyuubi into him.

"Come on Naruto, let's take you to the hospital," Minato said softly. The little boy struggled. It wasn't much considering all the broken bones but it was still hard trying to keep the kid from hurting himself any worse.

"No," Naruto shouted, "No hospital! I gotta get to jiji!"

"Okay, Naru-chan, where's jiji," Minato asked quickly. The little blonde chibi pointed at the hokage tower. Minato frowned but ran across the rooftops to the tower he had once worked at. At the tower he didn't even bother with the going through the front door to the hokage's office. The window was open and he made his way in silently ever so slightly alerting Sarutobi of his presence. The current hokage turned around to yell at who ever had interrupted his paper work, but stopped when he saw who was there.

"Jiji! This nice man he saved me from the villagers. They were trying to kill me… Again," Naruto exclaimed.

"Hello Hiruzen. It's good to see you again," Minato stated calmly.

"Minato," the third hokage murmured.

"Can you send the ANBU away? You and I need to have a talk. However, Kakashi can stay," the Fourth ordered. All at once the ANBU did as they were told and Kakashi appeared.

"Wow, he appeared out of nowhere," Naruto said shocked as he stared at Kakashi. However the silver haired ninja was not paying attention to the young blonde but to the elder blonde who was holding him.

"Sensei," Kakashi whispered.

"Hello Kakashi. How have you been," the yellow flash asked the young ANBU captain. The young ANBU made his way over to where his old sensei stood and promptly poked him in the face.

"Ouch, Kashi that hurt. What was that for," Minato whined.

"You're really here," he said in shock.

"Of course. Who else would know that you keep that perverted book my sensei wrote in your ninja pouch," Minato replied with a foxy grin.

"Excuse me, mister, but could you put me down and then tell me who you are," the four year old asked in an exasperated manner.

"Well Naru-chan, I'm your dad. I'm also the Fourth Hokage," the elder blonde supplied. The look on the chibi's face was priceless. His eyes grew wide and his little blonde eye brows rose with his widening eyes. His mouth stood a gape in the whole process. Then it just stopped and the little blonde looked like he was going to cry.

"You're not my dad. The lady at the orphanage said that demons don't deserve dads' or moms'. Then she would lock me in my room or the basement depending on how annoyed she was with me," Naruto said tears appearing in his cerulean eyes.

"Naru-chan don't believe her. I am your dad and I love you so much. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you before, but I will always be with you from now on. Please don't cry sunshine," Minato pleaded as he soothed the little blonde.

"Naru-chan, I think it's time for you to sleep for the night. Hmm," the elder blonde said.

"Will you be here when I wake up, daddy," questioned the chibi scared that he would say no.

"I promise I will be with you when you wake up, okay," Minato said soothing his sons' fears. He then promptly hit a pressure point on the child's neck that would render him unconscious for a few hour, but when he awoke he would be perfectly fine. He smile softly at the peaceful look on his sunshine's face and continued to hold him.

"Now, would one of you please explain why my four year old son, was out late at night when he should have been asleep in a bed and not getting the living shit beat out of him," questioned a very livid Minato.

"The matron must have kicked him out, without my knowledge," Sarutobi replied sadly. Minato then looked at Kakshi.

"I tried to adopt him, a lot of us did, but the council would not allow us. They thought he was the reincarnation of the Kyuubi instead of the little boy he truly was. The worst part is I tried to get on the squad of ANBU that was protecting him, but the civilian council has had too much say in shinobi matters. I am truly sorry Sensei for not trying hard enough," Kakashi said sadly with his head cast down to the floor.

"I forgive you both, but I will be taking Naruto back to the Namikaze estate. Also I would like to assume the role of the fourth if that is okay with you Hiruzen," Minato asked.

"I was ready to retire again. The question is Minato how are you going to retake the roll of Hokage without an uproar," the Third questioned his predecessor. Minato smirked, but this wasn't just any smirk this was the smirk that said you would have a better chance of escaping the Shinigami then the Fourths anger. The Third and Kakashi's sweat dropped.

"Now you'll have to excuse me but I'm going home to spend the night with my little boy, Kakashi," Minato said. Getting the attention of the silver hair ninja. "If you want, and the choice is up to you but I would like you to do it, you can come home with us. I bet Naruto would want his big brother."

"Big brother," Kakashi whispered.

Minato smiled, a true smile, and said, "But of course. Now come on." Kakashi smiled and followed his former sensei.

At the Namikaze estate

The two men and one little boy stood at the gate of the compound.

"Can you hold him for a second while I open the seal," Minato asked. Wordlessly Kakashi took the small blonde and waited for his father like figure to open up the door. After he had opened the door the three made their way to the house.

"I need to ask you a favor," Minato said. The silver haired teenager nodded his head.

"Can you send Pakkun to get a message to Jiraiya and Tsunade that I'm alive and they should come back to Konoha? I wouldn't want them to miss the show," Minato finished with a smirk.

"What are you planning Sensei," the former student asked cautiously.

"They will pay for hurting my family," Minato replied fiercely. Kakashi gulped, he knew better to make his sensei angry.

"Maybe I will have Naruto help me with some of my payback against the villagers," the blonde mused. "Oh well, we'll figure this out tomorrow."

There was a long pause before Minato spoke again, "You can have the bed room next to mine. Naruto will sleep with me."

They went to their separate rooms. Minato looked at the bed that Kushina and he had once shared. He smiled and laid his son down and soon followed him. He held Naruto close to him and the little blonde replica snuggled closer to his fathers' chest. Soon sleep over took the over joyed father that had gotten his son back.
