"Please Shinigami-sama! I have to see them!" Whined a voice.
"No! Minato I already gave you a chance to see your son once before." Said a dark figure floating around as a tall blond man with a halo hovering over his head followed from close behind.
"But Shinigami-sama this time it's my grandkids! I wish to see them before I move on to the other side." Said Minato as he jumped in front of the god of death and he bravely look at death straight in the eyes to show how serious he was.
"Wait…you were supposed to move on to the other side when the war was over. Why are you still here?" The Shinigami said as he watched Minato eyes slightly widen.
"Uh…well you see…I wanted to see if my boy was going to become Hokage after the war so I stayed around for a little while." Minato said nervously. The Shinigami looked at Minato and sighed.
"Did he become Hokage?" asked the Shinigami.
"Uhh… well not until 9 years after the war" said Minato his eyes shine with pride.
"Minato. You know you're breaking rules. What about your wife kushina? Who moved on to the other side isn't she waiting for you?" the god of death said as he moved away for the blonde. Minato muscle tensed as he heard his wife name.
"S-she wouldn't mind." Minato said dryly. He knew she was going to make him suffer for making her wait for 10 years. But he wanted to meet his grandkids before he moved on to the other side. Kushina will probably understand…he hoped.
The god of death was annoyed with Minato. He's been trying almost every day to try to convince him to bring him back to the living again. He hope when Minato finally gives up and moves to the other side, his scary wife makes him suffer.
"Shinigami-sama anything please! I'll do anything to meet them anything! I promise after I met with them ill move on to the other side." Minato drop to his knees he intertwined his hands together and started bowing. "Please Shinigami-sama I-I wish to see them" his voice cracked.
The god of death was shocked did Minato wanted to meet his grandkids so bad to the point he would cry? The god of death watched Minato bowing over and over again. Minato the yellow flash, the fourth Hokage who sacrifice his life to protect his home and to protect his new born son did not looked right bowing and looking helpless. Finally the Shinigami sighed and glared at the blond.
"Fine. Minato I'll grant your wish to see your grandkids." said the Shinigami.
"Really?!" the blonde jumped up with hopeful eyes. Shinigami stared at the blonde in disbelief had he been tricked? Was the blonde acting so he would let him see his grandkids? The Shinigami smirked well two can play at that game. He was going to send him back to see his grandkids but he wasn't going to make it easy.
"Yes. I will give you a week in the world of the living to meet your grandkids." the Shinigami said as he watched Minato smile stretched from ear to ear.
"Thank you so much Shinigami-sama I promise this will be my last visit to the world of the living." Minato bowed respectfully. Minato was finally going to meet his grandson, granddaughter, to see his son Naruto as a man and his daughter-in-law which he would have to thank for loving and supporting his son. His heart filled with hope and warmth.
"But." The Shinigami cut Minato from his thoughts. The blonde met gaze with the god of death. "B-but what?" He said as stomach twisted nervously.
"You see Minato this is your second visit to the world of the living. The first time was like a free one time entry but you of course you only could go back if you are needed there and you wouldn't remember your life in the afterlife so you wouldn't leak information about the afterlife." Of course Minato remember that deal. He remember how he had to wait until he was needed there and he was extremely lucky that he was summon in the world of the living not as a human but as a zombie and lost his memory of the life he spent in the afterlife. Once his soul return to the world of the living temporary; only remembering his whole life and to his death on the night of the nine tails attack and the time Naruto almost lost himself to Kurama with himself fixing the seal. Once the war was over and he wasn't needed there and returned to the afterlife and regain his memories back of the time he spent in the afterlife.
"Well, let me get straight to the point. The second visit has a special rule." The Shinigami stared at Minato who was listening carefully to each word he spoke.
"Special rule?" Minato asked with his hope dropping slowly.
"You may go to the world of the living as a human once again as if you never died in the first place with all your memories, but if anyone who recognizes you beside your grandkids of course; you will be brought back to the afterlife with your memories erased and forced to the other side" the Shinigami said carefully watching Minato as he process the information in his head.
"Will you risk your memories of your entire life to visit your grandkids? Or keep your memories and move on to the other side with your wife?" the Shinigami stare at Minato blanked expression waiting for a reaction.
Minato locked eyes with the death god with a deadly serious face and with no hesitation reach his arms out. "Shinigami-sama it's a deal. I'll risk my memories to visit my grandkids." Minato said once again shocking the Shinigami. The Shinigami looked in Minato eyes. He was looking for fear and second thoughts but only saw love and warmth.
"What about your wife? What would happen if you went to the other side and without your memories of your life with her?" the Shinigami said as he watch Minato for a reaction.
"Kushina will understand beside if she was in my shoes I know she too would risk her life's memories to see her grandbabies and she knew I would understand and would have done the same thing." Minato smiled as he stared in to deaths eyes.
The Shinigami was impressed with this man love for his family. He reached and grab Minato warm hand.
Minato watched and felt the god of death very cold sickly pale human like hand grip to his warm one. His eyes widen as he heard the god of death words softly filled the air.
"Minato Namikaze you got yourself a deal."
