A/N: Some of you might notice, but I made this story's timeline before Tsunade left the village, well at least in this story
"blah" = speaking
'blah'= thinking
"blah" = Kyuubi speaking
"blah" = when reading or in a flashback
~~oooooo-oo-oooooo~~
'Damn these guys are persistent, with the mission I just did I'm low on chakra and these aren't amateurs ether, but what's up with the brown attire?' Naruto thought as he threw yet another kunai to block incoming attacks. There where two guys one somewhat old and one younger both clad in brown, brown cargo pants, brown sweaters, brown trench coats and even brown shoes.
Suddenly a earth dragon collided with Naruto's back as he dodged an incoming fire ball. He was thrown into a tree and spit out blood, damn he was exhausted, he'd been gone 3 months on an information gathering mission that turned bad and he had had to fight for his life cause there where so many ninja there, during his return he was already soaked in blood and it didn't help to meet these guy's here at all.
Naruto looked up at his attackers 'Shit there's no other option right now, I have to use Kyuubi' Naruto thought and reached for the extra chakra, he'd used up almost all of his own and if he used any more, he would surely fall over from exhaustion. Over time he'd been able to improve the rasengan so he could throw it, but this time it was made purely of Kyuubi's chakra, so it was red.
He threw the rasengan at the incoming lightning jutsu, just in time before it hit him. But when it collided the mass created by the two jutsus made some sort of energy ball that hung in the air. It went out of control and ruined the landscape around them, the lightning hit Naruto several times and he fell to the ground in a bloody pit of his own blood. Before he went unconscious he saw the two other ninja disintegrating into what looked like colorful dust, then it all went black.
~~oooooo-oo-oooooo~~
A team composed of 4, 3 chunin and 1 jounin, ran through the forest on their way towards the village hidden in the leaf. They were returning from a mission, when they suddenly noticed a flash of bright light somewhere to the side of them. The captain motioned for them to go and check it out, so they ran there only to be shocked to find a person lying there in a pit of red, soaked in what could only be his own blood.
The leader of the group went over to him and looked for a pulse. It was there, but it was weak and they needed to move fast, so before he even thought about ID, he said "We need to get this guy to the hospital, hopefully lady Tsunade is there, this looks bad" and motioned for the others to help him carry the obviously wounded guy to the hospital through the gate.
While on their way, the ones that carried him wondered briefly why he looked so familiar to them, all of them where sure that they had never seen him before. They didn't bother to ID him as there really were no time to do so, and they didn't think of the possibility of him being dangerous because, well, he was pretty badly hurt. They just shoved it to the back of their heads, surely them recognizing him was nothing but lack of sleep, and so they continued on towards their destination.
~~oooooo-oo-oooooo~~
The group that returned from their mission quickly ran towards the hospital except for one who went to the Hokage's office to deliver the mission report, after all that was their duty and it was to be followed.
The others came in the door of the hospital and sighed in relief that Tsunade was there, with so much blood loss as this guy, they weren't sure that anyone other than Tsunade should do something. Tsunade saw the ninja group come in the door, she saw the limp figure they were carrying and gasped, that was a hell of a lot of blood, was that guy even alive. She ran over to them and checked his pulse. He was alive, but barely. Her fear of blood not kicking in as she was focused on injuries.
"What happened?" she demanded an answer from them, this was just a kid, 18 at most. That was one of the reasons she was angry, she didn't like to see kids like that… not after her little brother. She shook her head of those thoughts, he wouldn't die, she would make sure of that. She waved over some of the other medics.
The shinobi looked at each other then back at her "We don't know, we found him like this on our way back" was the answer she got. Other nurses and medics gathered and prepared the emergency room and took the limp form of the hurt one and moved him into the room and onto the operation table.
~~oooooo-oo-oooooo~~
After the operation Tsunade was speechless. 'This kid… he healed faster than humanly possible, almost all of his wounds just … vanished when I put my hands on them, and not just that but he'd lost more blood that a human could before dying of blood loss… But even more so, this kid is almost identical to Minato. Just who is this kid' Tsunade thought, sure she hadn't seen his eyes yet, but the similarities where just plain scary.
But that kid was still lucky to be alive. He was stabile, he had had great blood loss and suffered from chakra exhaustion. He had had some internal bleeding and a lot of deep gashes and wounds all over his body, he'd even been electrocuted according to his muscle tissue. He wouldn't wake up for at least a week, much less move around.
Jiraiya came inn through the door and looked at Tsunade. She had asked to see him earlier and if one knew the toad sanin you knew what he thought when you requested his presence… "You wanted to see me~" he said in a seemingly flirty tone. All that earned him was a powerful hit to the jaw and slamming into the wall behind him. When he got up he got an angry glare from Tsunade who was still twitching with several marks on her forehead.
Tsunade finally calmed down and told him why she wanted to see him "Yes I've got something, or rather someone, to show you, come you won't believe this" she said and went down the hall, with a, somewhat sulkily, Jiraya who followed. "What is it I'm supposed to see?" he asked right before they went into a hospital room.
"I told you, not an it, rather a who… You know that kid that was brought inn this morning right?" she asked. "Yea what about him?" he said back and then noticed the boy… err teenager as he'd put it… on the bed. He froze, his heartbeat increasing, at first he thought it was Minato who laid there on the bed unconscious, but it wasn't, just someone who looked a hell of a lot like him. Spiky blond hair, tan completion and … whiskers?. .
Tsunade looked smug as she preceded to tell him what she thought about this boy. "You see it too huh, he is way too alike on Minato, I'm sure they're related. The hair, skin and shape of the nose, and their ears and mouth are all the same, those shapes are decided through genes and are passed through families. No one is that alike without being related" Said Tsunade to the now stunned Jiraya.
"…" Jiraya was speechless, did Minato really have a family member here. He'd be so happy, he'd been looking for his family for so long. The possibility was almost too good to be true. It took a while before he said something "Well they're certainly alike, have you run a test on this or something?" he asked suddenly very happy but at the same time thoughtful. Why would this show up now? After everything they had done to try and find someone before.
Tsunade looked at the boy in the hospital bed "No I haven't, not yet, because to compare it with Minato's DNA I need his signed approval first" Tsunade said and stroked over the kid's face with the back of her hand. 'Those whiskers are so cute' she thought with a smile.
Jiraiya looked at her as if she had just said something that didn't make any sense at all, "Then why call me and not Minato over here?" Jiraiya asked confused. If she wanted Minato here she could just go get him, he was only sitting at home reading anyway, like he always did when he didn't have any missions or team meetings.
The blond woman looked at the toad sanin "I want you to tell him, after all he's your student… err was your student, he has his own genin team to teach now, and besides I think you could break it to him more subtle than I could, you know him better than anyone" she said and walked over to check her patients stability and monitor his condition.
Jiraiya looked at the boy and though up the ways he could tell Minato, 'He'll probably not believe me anyways, but I can try' he though before stating out loud, "Oh, um ok I'll tell him right away, be here in 10" he said and was out the window.
~~oooooo-oo-oooooo~~
Minato was looking at the person in the hospital bed with what could only be described as longing. There where happiness, confusion, sadness and humor reflecting in his eyes. He'd heard what Jiraiya had said but wasn't sure if he believed him, he'd used so long looking for his family, this was just too god to be true.
Flashback
"Oh… Minato there you are, reading that book again" Jiraiya said as he came inn through the window of Minato's apartment. Landing on the floor looking at Minato who sat in the sofa with his legs on the coffee table reading the book he always read, over and over again.
Minato looked up at his teacher, not at all surprised that he came inn through the window "Hey, yes it's my favorite book (1) after all, were you looking for me?" he asked, looking fondly at the book with the title 'The tale of the gusty ninja' before turning his attention back to his former sensei.
Jiraiya looked at him for sometime and readied his voice to speak. "Umm, yes… Minato I'm not quite sure how to say this but, if I told you that we have someone who could possibly be related to you, back at the hospital… would you believe me?" Jiraiya said or rather asked, he wasn't sure how he'd take it at first, Minato's reactions varied from time to time.
Minato just looked at him, with somewhat a thoughtful expression on his face. "… What… come on Jiraiya sensei seriously" Minato answered after some time. 'A family member, if I had one I would've probably found one by now, but still…couldn't hurt too check could it' he thought skeptically.
The white haired one answered "I am serious, come on". Jiraiya motioned for him to follow and he went towards the hospital with Minato following slightly behind.
End flashback
He saw the similarities and almost knew then and there that they where related. To say he was shocked was an understatement. He was feeling almost every emotion possible at the same time… he, Minato, was for once speechless.
Suddenly they could hear Tsunade say "Damn this kid heals fast, he will probably wake up a lot faster than I originally thought, his vital signs are back to normal and his chakra reserves are almost full again. Only since this morning… I'd say he'd be up in about 2 days maybe 3 days to the most" she said and sounded surprised. Never had anyone she had ever treated haled so fast. "And he has the biggest chakra reserves I've ever seen too" she said her thought out loud. How did this kid heal so fast, it shouldn't be possible.
One of the other occupants in the room looked shocked too "What! but he was brought inn this morning wasn't he" Jiraiya spoke up rather shocked, he too found it hard to believe someone could heal this fast, even with the help of Tsunade.
Minato looked at them with his eyebrow raised and finally said something "What are you guy's talking about" Minato, who was now officially confused, asked the two sanin. "Well he was brought inn here by a team of three ninja this morning. I spent an hour stabilizing him. He was soaked in blood and badly damaged with deep gashes and cuts several placed" Tsunade said looking at the now newly shocked face of Minato.
Minato looked the boy over "But how, he barely has a scratch on him?" He said, not believing what he had heard, it couldn't be true, could it. He' never heard of anyone heeling that fast, even with medical help. "It's true, And that is why I'm shocked as well. He was found about a mile form the south gate". Tsunade answered again
Minato stopped at that, he looked over at the bed again "Wonder what his name is…" Minato said in a soft tone as he looked at the younger one's face. Jiraiya put a hand on his shoulder "We'll find out when he wakes up, Ok" he said and sat down on a chair beside the bed. "Ok".
Tsunade decided to break the silence "Well now Minato, would you agree to a DNA test through blood to see of you really are related?" Tsunade says and Minato agrees immediately. After Minato signed, she took blood from both of them and called for an analysis on them as fast as possible.
