Please note : I do not own Naruto or any of its characters! Yet I wish I did..sigh..

Naruto Uzumaki sighed as he walk through the dark streets of Konoha towards his apartment complex. Glancing towards the main area of town, the Jinchuuriki swallowed convulsively as he thought about what day it was - The 10 of October and Celebratory day of the defeat of the Kyuubi.

Biting his lip, the seven year old tried to slip around a massive group of party- goers , only to hear " Hey! It's the demon! " Cursing softly, the boy made a run for it and managed to get to an ally. Only for him to find out that he was caught between a rock and a hard place. Literally. As this was one of the ally's that had a dead end built in to them to confuse invaders.

Snarling Naruto whipped around and dropped into his taijutsu stance that they had just started learning . Unknown to the fact that the God of Death had just given Minato Namikaze a second chance by sealing him into the Kyuubi seal. Completely outnumbered though, Naruto didn't stand a chance with his limited training and boy was quickly beaten to the ground by the drunken mob.

Seeing that they weren't going to stop anytime soon, the Jinchuuriki slowly let himself lose consciousness and withdrew into his mind unaware that the ANBU had just arrived.

%Inside Naruto's mind/ Seal%

Naruto groaned as he slowly came to and stood cautiously . ~ Kit?~ the Kyuubi asked his host quietly so as not to give him a headache. "I'm ok, Kurama." the blonde boy said with a wince. ~ If you say so, kit.~ the fox demon said, then paused and kept going ~ I think there is someone you should meet.~

Cocking his head curiously, Naruto inched closer towards the demon and said " Oh? What do you mean Kurama?" In answer another blond haired man walked out from behind the nine tailed fox, and said " Hi Naruto."

In shock, the smaller boy tripped backwards over a log and fell on his but while stuttering " h-h-ho-ho-ow?" Meanwhile Kurama was laughing so hard he turned into his human form. " Who am I and How did I return ? " the other blond said in response to his unknown son's speechlessness. Nodding vigorously , Naruto sat up and waited for the story to begin.

" First off, I am Minato Namikaze ; also known as the Yellow Flash or Yondaime Namikaze. Naruto, have you ever wonder who your father was? ( here the former Hokage received a nod) I am your father.

At the time of your birth, Kurama- who I now know was under a very powerful genjutsu - attacked the village and had to be sealed inside of either an object or person. Sadly the Jutsu I chose, asked for a living sacrifice - myself. " Minato sadly told his son the truth. " Death just decided that I would do a better job of watching over you here in the seal instead of where I was before."

"Tou- san, Could you please tell me what my full name is ?" Naruto asked questioningly , having never known it himself . Nodding, the ex- Hokage smiled slightly and said " You are Naruto Shea Uzumaki Namikaze. Although,you will have to wait until you are a Genin to have my name." Smiling , Naruto hugged his father and disappeared from the mind scape.

Regaining consciousness in a hospital room made Naruto agitated and caused his father to appear transparently next to the bed. (Calm down. ) the older blond soothed and watched as a nurse appear next to the boy to treat him. Sneering at the young Shinobi student, the woman placed the pills on the bedside table and walked off muttering about unclean demons the whole way.

Confused Naruto looked at the pills , then the door and then his father and tried saying mentally ' What?' Instead all he got was a confused look and a chuckle from Kurama, which he ended with a / Quiet , you!/. Hearing this, his father looked up startled and said ( What did I do?) Looking puzzled at his father now, Naruto shrugged and quietly left the hospital - unaware of the two ANBU guards that were tailing him.
