Masked-Writer-In-Disguise: Alright, this is just a small little drabble thing that I wrote forever ago and originally had no intention of posting, but then I started reading through the files saved on my computer and I decided this was funny enough to post and y'all ain't been getting enough work from me, so here's a little… snack, I guess. Enjoy!
P.S. AU (which means our favorite little hero has a dad! YAY!... and Obito's alive…because he helps Kakashi babysit Naruto (yes, it takes two people to babysit Naruto)…)
Disclaimer: I don't own it, I swear!
Inspiration: Just wanted to do something funny and innocent and light for a change and I got this… It's all Bug's fault. I swear I usually don't come up with these idea's on my own!

Haircuts

"Look, I'm sorry I had to call you here, Hokage-sama. I'm sure you're very busy," Iruka pinched the bridge of his nose in annoyance, "but your son decided he wanted to give Sasuke-kun a haircut today during weapons' practice."
"Well, does the haircut look good?" Minato asked with an amused smirk playing across his lips.
The poor Chunnin looked absolutely lost. "…What?"
"The haircut; does it look good?" the Hokage repeated, still smiling. He couldn't help but find the whole thing amusing. Obito had gotten into trouble from cutting Kakashi's hair; Minato himself had gotten into trouble for dying his Academy sensei's hair. It was no skin off the Hokage's back having his son cut his best friends hair during weapons' practice. He was taking notes from the village it took to raise him.
"Um… Well, yes, but I think you're missing the point, sir. Your son cut another student's hair with a kunai. That's considered very bad by most. Sasuke-kun's father is furious."
"So why exactly are you telling me this? I'm sure Fugaku-san will talk my ear off when he gets the chance."
"Mizuki and I thought you should hear from us rather than have Uchiha-sama blowing things out of proportion," Iruka blushed slightly.
"Thank you, Iruka. Where is Naruto now?" the blond man stood up, preparing to leave.
"He's in the director's office with Sasuke-kun and his father, probably being yelled at by both adults," Iruka answered with a wince.
"Alright, thank you, Iruka. I'm going to save my son from what I'm sure is going to be a very boring, redundant lecture full of words a child Naruto's age is going to have difficulty understanding."
With that, the blond man left, navigating his way through the Academy halls to the Academy director's office. Minato knocked politely before entering, not waiting for his cue to do so and pushing open the door. The scene he found made him smirk inwardly. Naruto was sitting next to Sasuke in front of the director trying his very best to look suitably repentant and failing miserably while Sasuke tried to look angry but kept letting a small smile towards the blond boy shine through. Fugaku was glaring openly at the young prankster with his hand on his son's shoulder, as though he were trying to make sure Sasuke didn't forget his father was in the room with him, and Minato had to distinct impression that Fugaku had just finished yelling at the poor blond.
As soon as Naruto saw his father, the boy stopped failing at trying to pretend to be contrite and grinned his usual bright, fox-like grin, jumping up and latching himself onto Minato's leg. The man ran a tan hand through the six-year-old's golden locks and smiled disarmingly and Fugaku. Sasuke really did look better with the pixie cut. The style suited him.
