AN- I do not own Naruto!
Revenge is sweet!
It was a bright morning in the village hidden in the leaf. All was quiet except for the chirping sounds of birds overhead and the sound of gentle rustling of leaves as the breeze caressed the trees. Minato Namikaze stared out of the window, admiring the peaceful moment. He was the fourth Hokage and was quite pleased with all that he had accomplished. Although he was pleased with the reigning peace he still craved for some for some action. I am starting to cramp up in here he thought sadly to himself.
"Damn you, Itachi!" he said aloud. At the same time Kakashi sunshined into the Hokage's office.
"Yo, sensei why the long face?" Kakashi asked whipping out a familiar orange book out of his pocket.
"Humph" Minato sat back in his chair. How did I let the old man talk me into this. He stared at the pile of paperwork on his desk.
"This is boring Kakashi, I want to do something a bit more exciting other than reducing theses pile of sheets" he informed Kakashi with an exasperated sigh.
"Well I thought paperwork was one of the perks of being Hokage?" Kakashi smirked under his mask. Of course he is bored, he is the most competitive guy in the village apart from Naruto that is, thought Kakashi to himself. Minato shot Kakashi a glare, that could burn a hole through his face.
"Damn Itachi, when I get my hands on you", Minato mumbled.
"What are you ranting on about sensie?" Kakashi asked in his usual bored tone.
"I am not ranting, I am scheming!" Minato barked at Kakashi. Kakashi momentarily looked up from his book to witness the evil grin and the mischievous glint on his sensie's eyes. He's up to something. Kakashi shivered at that thought he felt sorry for the lucky sucker who managed to tick Minato off. Although Minato was not one for taking revenge, sometimes Kushina and her pranks did rub off on him. Not to mention the fact that he had the ultimate weapon at his disposal, namely two. Kakashi shrugged and went back to reading his book. Minato knew just exactly what he wanted to do. Haha, kill two birds with one stone, eh Kakashi! He thought evilly, already forming a plan in his head.
"Kazumi-san" Minato summoned his secretary. She was a petite woman with short brown hair and brown eyes. She was kind to Minato always so understanding when Minato would complain about his paperwork, offering solutions.
"Kazumi-san, I have something really important to attend to today" he informed her calmly. Kakashi looked up for a brief second before his attention was back to his book.
"Yes Hokage-same, what do you need?" Kazumi answered smiling sweetly.
"It's not something I need to discuss here Kazumi-san , but I will be away from the office all day." He smiled ear to ear.
"But what about all the paperwork Hokage-sama?" she eyed the paperwork worriedly. She knew that Minato was not a slacker, however he could get distracted.
"I have the perfect solution Kazumi-san" he looked over at Kakashi and smirked. Kazumi waited patiently for the Hokage to elaborate. She had learned early on that Minato had a Knack for saying something but then would not explain it further. Kakashi didn't seem to notice the look Minato was giving him.
"Kakashi will be here to take over from me Kazumi-san" Minato informed her.
"WHAT?" both Kazumi and Kakashi said together simultaneously.
"But sensie, I don't know how to be a Hokage!" Kakashi said. Now he really wished that he had kept his mouth closed.
"Oh it's not that hard, Kakashi, all you do is read the mission report and requests put the Hokage stamp on it." Minato explained.
"And anyway you've seen me do paperwork numerous times, I am sure you can manage. After all you are the copy ninja" Minato stood up and headed towards the door.
"But Hokage-sama what about the council?" Kazumi interjected.
"I second that" Kakashi said panic stricken.
"Kazumi-san, no one needs to know about this do they?" Minato turned around with puppy dog eyes. Kazumi faltered at that look.
"I guess so Hokage-sama" she replied hesitantly. She sighed giving in and Minato's face brightened. She left the office leaving Minato and Kakashi alone.
"But Sensie," Kakashi started but was cut off by Minato.
"If you don't do this, then I will personally burn all your copies of Icha Icha books" Minato threatened Kakashi a smirk visible on his face. He knew Kakashi would do anything for his books.
"You wouldn't dare!" Kakashi shot back.
"Care to place a bet?" Minato inquired.
"No" Kakashi replied meekly.
"Good" with that Minato opened the door and walked out.
"I hate you sensie!" Kakashi screamed but minato was already on his way to the academy barely containing his laughter. One down, one to go!
Flashback
"But Hokage-sama you can't possibly go on this mission with me" Itachi flatly replied with his monotone voice.
"Why it's a simple B rank to deliver some scroll?" Minato informed him with a pout. Itachi and Minato had been arguing for about half an hour about the mission that Itachi had been assigned.
"It is not important whether the mission is simple or not, the fact that the Hokage should not leave the village is most relevant," Itachi replied.
"But it won't even take that long, a day at max" Minato stated stubbornly.
"That is also irrelevant, the risks are too great" Itachi said.
"What are you talking about?" Minato asked confused. Itachi sighed. Now I know where he gets it from.
"Apart from the fact you are Hokage, we may encounter missing nins who are also hired to retrieve the scroll" Itachi explained starting to het irritated.
"What you are saying is I can't protect myself?" Minato raised an eyebrow.
"No far from it, I do not doubt your capabilities, Hokage-sama bit I don't think going on a mission is a good idea. Kami how did I get into this conversation thought Itachi to himself. Itachi was aware that Minato was an active person but he should have realised it would be different when he became Hokage.
"I think that it is, I am stuck here day after day with these darn paperwork Itachi, I need to do something more!" Minato said irritated, more towards the paperwork than Itachi.
"The answer will still be no Hokage-sama" Itachi informed him. Minato looked up. Stuck up Uchiha he thought. I could just order him but I'd rather not. Itachi was someone Minato admired for he was the ideal ninja, someone who thought about the good of his village no matter what obstacle came his way.
"Are you the Hokage or I am?" Minato asked.
"Exactly my point" Itachi replied.
"So I can go?" Minato put his very best puppy dog expression on trying to break through to the ice prince.
"No" Itachi replied not affected by Minato's expression.
"Damn it, didn't work" Minato sighed.
"Had I not known you from childhood then it would have. But basically no" Itachi stood up signalling the end of the conversation.
"Your harsh Itachi" Minato said.
"Hnn" Itachi said and sunshined out of the office.
As Minato neared his destination he was brought back from his musing, as a scream ripped through the academy.
"NARUTO, SASUKE!" The scream was none other than Iruka Umino. The academy teacher. Minato admired Iruka for putting up with all the children. I don't know how he does it Minato thought a cold shiver ran through his spine.
Minato entered the academy and went to Iruka's classroom. He opened the classroom door and gasped at what he saw. The whole classroom was covered in different colours. And Iruka was having a massive nosebleed while some of the kids were having a laughing fit. Minato carefully tread in he looked at Iruka with a raised eyebrow. Pervert, yup definitely thought Minato.
"Oh hello Hokage-sama", Iruka noticed Minato five minutes later after getting his nosebleed under control.
"Hmm" was all Minato could manage as a particular kid with triangle markings on his face could not stop laughing, Kiba Inuzuka no doubt.
"Man that was the best one so far" *hahaha* "Did you see the look on Iruka sensie's face, priceless man".
"Shut up Kiba, Hokage-sama is here" the boy sitting next to him replied. Minato looked at them, the other boy wore sunglasses and a trenchcoat. Shino Aburame. What up with the trench coat and shades Minato thought. He gives me the creeps. Minato shrugged and turned again to Iruka.
"Hokage-sama I can explain2, Iruka muttered obviously embarrassed to be seen in a state like this.
"Do I want to know? No scratch that, just tell me are they here?" Minato asked Iruka after an inner debate. Iruka shook his head. Minato sunshined out of the classroom before anything else happened.
AN- What will Minato do when he finds Naruto and Sasuke?
