Twelve years ago a mythical beast known as the Kyuubi attacked the village hidden in the leaves. As the villages shinobi battled the beast trying to stop its rampage a man known as the third hokage arrived at the battle and used an ancient sealing ritual sealed the beast within a new born child sacrificing his life to save his people.
It was a normal day in the village hidden in the leave for all except twelve year old Naruto Namikaze. Today he had graduated from the ninja academy and was now officially a shinobi of Konoha. As he walked through the village he smiled thinking of all the adventures him and his future team would be going on and how he was now one step closer to fulfilling his life long dream of taking the title of hokage from his father Minato. As he reached his destination he quickly ran up the stairs and opened the door to reveal his father at his desk doing the bain of every kages excistance paper. He walked in screaming "Dad I finally did it, I passed the exam!". Minato looked up at his son and smiled happily saying"Thats great Naruto are you ready to meet you new team and sensei tomorrow?" "You bet I am, I can't wait I hope I get a strong sensei that can teach me all kindas of cool new jutsu". Minato just smiled while listening to his son thinking about how much he resembled his wife Kushina. After he signed off on the last paper sitting on his desk he stood up catching Narutos attemtion and said "Let's go celebrate at the ramen stand Naruto". They quickly left the office to head towards the ramen they walked through the village towards the middle of town where Ichirakus was at they both took in the sights and sounds of the village in the late afternoon there were people closing shops and rushing to get home to make dinner or to make it to a shop before it closed. As they sat down at the bar they both ordered a bowl of pork ramen and conversed with the owners daughter till the food arrived. While they were eating they had conversations ranging from life as a ninja to Minatos personal experiences as a shinobi. After they finished and Minato payed they started on their way home, half way home as they were walking Naruto got his dads attention and asked "Dad, when will I get to see mom again?" Minato looked over at his son and sadly said "Eventually"after a long sigh. After that brief conversation the two continued their journey home in relitive silence enjoying the peaceful feel of the village at dusk. As they arrived home Naruto quickly ran up to his room to go to sleep in anticipation of his big day tomorrow. Minato follwed soon after going into his own room as as he laid in bed he thought about the question Naruto had asked him on their way home and with one last sigh closed his eyes to go to sleep for the night.
