Its been fourteen years since the Kyuubi had attacked and the Yondaime and his wife gave their life to save the village and their son, wanting him to be seen as a hero. Unfortunately, the villagers didn't honour their wish and so their little boy Naruto, was hated and tortured by the villagers every time they could.

Now, in the hospital, we can see the Sandaime Hokage seeing two people waking up from their coma, along with several ANBU. the first to wake up, was the blonde haired man, who was followed by the red haired woman. Opening their eyes, they looked around and saw the others in the room.

"Sarutobi! Is that you?" the red haired woman asked.

"W-What's going on? We were suppose to be dead, weren't we?" the blonde haired man said.

"Minato, Kushina, I'm so glad that your both finally awake. I hope your well?" the Sandaime said.

"Yeah we are." Minato replied. "The last thing I remember was sealing half of the Kyuubi into our son and then-" they both wide eyed.

"Naruto!" they both yelled.

"Where is he Hiruzen? Our son? Where is he?" Kushina exclaimed, trying to get out of bed.

"Kushina please calm down! There are things that you both need to know. Like you've been in a coma for the past fourteen years." he said, trying to put her back.

"W-What? For fourteen years?" she exclaimed, but Minato was already running out of the room. He wanted to see his son right now. Yea they were apart for fourteen years, but that didn't mean that he still couldn't be a father! He always wanted to be a father, heck he was way more excited than Kushina when she told him.

"Y-Yondaime-sama!? Your alive!" a nurse said and everyone in the hospital started gathering around him.

"Can you please move? I'm looking for my son." he said, trying to walk past them. Murmurs broke out, wondering when the Yondaime had a child.

"Minato! Get back here. You just woke up!" the Sandaime yelled, but then Kushina ran right after him.

"Minato! Don't leave me back there! We're going to look for him together." she said ass he caught, but couldn't help but smile. She knew he was excited in seeing their son, heck she was too. But Minato was always the more excited one. They ran out of the hospital and the other villagers saw them. First they were suspicious and then started cheering. Their Yondaime was back! Minato really didn't care what was going on around him. He just wanted to see his son.

"Hey you!" he said to a random smiling civilian.

"Y-Yondaime-sama! Its an honour to have you back." he said.

"Where's my son?" he asked and instantly, the cheering stopped.

"Y-You had a son?" a random villager asked.

"Yes. He looks just like me, except he has three whisker-like marks on his cheeks." he said and some of them paled.

"His name is Naruto. Do you know where he is?" Kushina asked.

"You mean the demon?! He can't be your son Yondaime-sama!" he replied and the others nodded in agreement. "Besides he's-" he was cut off when the entire area was filled with killing intent all from Minato.

"What did you call my son?" he asked darkly, getting a rasengan ready in one hand. The villagers on the other hand, were completely terrified. The demon was the Yondaime's son! Oh they were screwed.

"Minato? Is that you?" he heard a voice and saw that it was Fakuga and some of the other clan heads.

"Thank god! Someone intelligent!" Minato exclaimed and ran to one of his best friends. "Fakuga, do you know where my son is? Naruto?" he asked and the Uchiha head just looked down.

"I'm really sorry Minato. Most of the clans wanted to adopt him, heck I put in a couple adoption papers every month, but the damn civilian council always shot us down. Your son...isn't here anymore." he said dropping the bomb. Minato and Kushina were shocked. Kushina just dropped to the ground and began crying and Minato was beyond angry. He turned to the crowd of villagers and yelled

"You people killed my son!?"

"Minato stop! He isn't dead!" Sarutobi said, finally catching up.

"W-What?" Kushina asked.

"I didn't mean it like that Minato!" Fakuga exclaimed. "Naruto isn't dead, at least I hope he isn't." and the others just gave him a 'just shut up' look. "What I mean is that he ran away from the village nine years ago."

'Nine years ago? He's suppose to be fourteen now so...'

"You let our five year old son leave the village alone!" Minato and Kushina exclaimed together at the Hokage.

"*sighs* why don't we go to the council room and-"

"No." Minato said, helping his wife stand. "We're leaving and we're going to get our son back."

"Right and if he doesn't want to return, then we aren't either." Kushina said and Minato nodded in agreement.

"W-Wait! You can't be serious!" Inoichi said.

"I wanted my son to be seen as a hero for holding the Kyuubi at bay and from what I can think of what happen, you people *looks at civilians* tried to kill him. You think that would kill the Kyuubi?! No! It wouldn't, it would only set it free!" he roared. The villagers had paled at the thought that their actions had only lead to their demise.

"Please lets all talk about it some more! In the office perhaps?" Sarutobi pleaded.

"Minato, let's first see what kind of life our son went through and then see if they had any leads over the years, alright?" Kushina said, trying to be the sensible one.

"That's what I'm afraid of Kushina. Hearing them call him a demon...he must have gone through hell." he said in a defeated voice but followed her none the less.

"Minato for what its worth, I'm really sorry. We tried-" Fakuga began

"No, its alright. You tried. At least you tried." he said, giving his friend a small smile.

"If there's anything you need to help get your son back, don't hesitate to ask."

"That goes for the Yamanaka clan as well. We'll help in any way we can." Inoichi said and the other clans began to follow suit.

"You see, we'll see him soon Minato." Kushina said, giving his arm a quick squeeze. He sighed and nodded as they went to the Hokage Tower.

"So Minato, you thinking of taking back the hat?" the Hokage asked trying to bring out a cheerful conversation.

"Ha Ha. I feel like going on a killing spree right now so don't push your luck." he said with a dark aura surrounding him. Kushina just giggled at her husband, while the ANBU with them tensed and paled. Sarutobi choked on his smoke, but no attempts of a conversation was made. Entering the office, the couple sat down facing the Hokage seat, with Sarutobi in the Hokage seat.

"Okay, what information do you have on him?" Kushina asked once they all settled down.

"Well, for the first three years, nothing. But then there was word of a blonde boy around with three whisker-like marks on the fourth and fifth year and then nothing after that." he said, taking out some of the reports. Suddenly, someone came throught the window.

"Sensei! Is it true they finally woke up?" Jiraiya asked and then looked into the room and saw Minato and Kushina, both with angry faces.

"Hello Jiraiya. Yes, we're awake. Awake and found out that our son isn't here." Kushina said sweetly, making him sweat. "Do you perhaps now where your godson is? It was your responsibility to take care of him."

"W-Well y-you s-see..." he began and looked at Minato for help, but was met with an even darker glare. "I'm sorry!" he yelled, bowing down. "I need to look after the spy network since the Kyuubi attack damaged us and we really needed it and I couldn't take him with me around!"

"*sigh* Did he at least know you were around? Like he had family?" Minato said, understanding, but then looked angry again when his sensei looked down.

"No." Jiraiya said quietly.

"At least tell us how bad the treatment was, because a five year old boy doesn't just up and leave." Kushina asked.

"It was really bad. I honestly tried, but people just saw him as the demon itself." the Hokage said, making their face drain from any color.

"P-Please tell us." Minato whispered, wanting to know what kind of life he put his son in.

"As bad as getting kicked out of the orphanage at the age of three. Beaten every time, his apartment trashed, not allowed in stores, parents telling their children to stay away from him and being bullied. The beatings and abuse would always land him in the hospital, where they would refuse to treat him, until I went there myself and threatened them with death. In all honesty, he would be ten feet under if it wasn't the Kyuubi's healing factor. The beatings were worse on his birthdays. They would get together to do a 'fox hunt' as they put it. Since he left, I believe he has absolutely no love for this village whatsoever." he concluded, shocking the three as they paled with each word said.

"Did he at least know that we were in a coma? Did he know about us?" Kushina asked in between sobs.

"No, I didn't tell him about his heritage or the Kyuubi. I'm sincerely sorry. I wanted him to have a normal childhood, but that didn't work out." he said, with a single tear running down his face.

"Hokage-sama, the council as been called into session." and ANBU said appearing in front of him and then disappeared.

"No doubt about your return." the Hokage said.

"Is there anyone that interacted with him, maybe even Kakashi? Where is Kakashi?" Minato asked.

"Kakashi has a genin team of two now. There were uneven numbers. They just started three months ago. He tried to adopt Naruto, but the council wouldn't allow it. My annoying teammates went as far as to placing him under a restraining order that he couldn't go near him. He sent him presents, through the ANBU that were guarding him and was going to have him on his genin team, but he ran away. I haven't spoken with him since then. He keeps to himself and blames me and the council." he said sadly and this made both parents perk up a bit. At least he tried something.

"Well lets get going. These people are really annoying you know." Jiraiya said as they made their way to the council room. They opened the door and they were met with the civilian council, shinobi council and elder council.

"Hokage-sama! We heard that Yondaime-sama is alive." a civilian asked.

"Yes. Minato and his Kushina were in a coma for the past fourteen years and have finally woken up." he said.

"That's a relief, now he can find and kill the demon." another said and they all began to agree. The elder council were sweating, since they knew hey were in deep shit and the shinobi side just looked at them with disgust. The civilian side suddenly felt a deadly KI heading towards. They looked closes and saw that the Yondaime and a red haired woman were both emitting it.

"Care to say that again? I don't think we quite heard you right." Kushina said looking at Minato.

"Yes Kushina, it almost sounded as if they wanted us to kill our son. A demon, I don't think our son is a demon. A demon safely sealed in his gut protecting the miserable bunch is another thing though." he said, his eye twitching and glaring at them. The civilian just wanted to run away. They didn't know the demon was the Yondaime son!

"We have to find him!" one said.

"But he could be dead." another said.

"He isn't dead." a voice said and they all looked at the woman.

"M-Mikoto?" Kushina said with tears and embraced her friend.

"Its nice to see you again Kushi-chan." she smiled and hugged her tightly.

"What do you mean that he isn't dead?" Fakuga asked his wife, still wondering how she got here.

"Because, I'm still in contact with him." she smiled and Minato and Kushina looked at her with hope and the others were shocked.

"W-What do you mean?! I looked everywhere for him!" Jiraiya exclaimed.

"Mikoto please explain." the Hokage said seriously.

"He's my god son. Do you really think that I would leave him out in a pack of wolves. Granted there was a little I could do, but while he was in the village, I would give him meals, give him bathes. The orphanage denied him any education, so I taught him how to read and write. He's a bright child really. Poor boy didn't know what a hug was when I first met him. He was shocked that it didn't hurt." she said with tears in here eyes and everyone there was wide eyed. "He already knew about the Kyuubi at the age of four and his heritage, so I told him that I was his godmother." she said, further shocking them.

"D-Did he ask about us?" Kushina asked.

"Yes. He asked if you loved him and I told you that you both did. He doesn't hate you for sealing the Kyuubi inside of him Minato. She's become like an older sister to him." she laughed.

"S-She? The Kyuubi is a female?" Tsume asked and then began laughing manically. "Take that you sexist pigs. The most powerful demon is a female!" Minato was relived that his son didn't hate him and completely ignored everyone else.

"Do you know where he is right now?" Minato asked.

"Yeah! How did he hide himself so well?" Jiraiya exclaimed.

"He's travelling with his grandmother. He sent me this letter just yesterday actually." she said, pulling out a piece of paper, which was grabbed by the desperate parents.

"What's written on it?" the Hokage said.

Dear Miko-obasan,

You are never going to believe what happened! I left for the other town for just two days and when I came back, the old hag had this HUGE debit! Really now, baa-chan's gambling hobby is really getting annoying, seeing as to its me who pays for it. She keeps telling me to ty some sake, but Shizu-nee forbad me, just as she forbade me to follow baa-chan's 'cuss-like-a-sailor' thing. Sometimes I wonder how we're related. But she's my grandmother and I promised I wouldn't leave her. I wonder if either of my parents were like her. Maybe mom, since she's Tsunade's niece but ...oh well. I hope your doing well obasan and your youngest isn't giving you the usually Uchiha-ass problem. I miss you so much and I hope we'll see one another one day. Well gotta go, Tsuna-baa-chan is nagging me to hurry up.

Love,

Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze

When Kushina finished reading the letter, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry or be angry at the though her son though she could be a drunken person.

"Who would have known. He was with Tsunade of all people." Jiraiya laughed.

"Why wasn't she here earlier?" Kushina asked.

"I don't know. But I believe she left in grief." the Hokage said.

"Actually Hokage-sama, someone told her that Naruto died during the sealing, go as far as showing her the dead corpse." Mikoto revealed shocking them. "She did a DNA anaylsis herself just to check, so that's why she was shocked to see him alive and wanted to basically annaliate everyone in the village."

"How do you know this?" Shikaku asked.

"Naruto told me when they met four years back. Like he said in the letter, Tsuande made him promise that he would stay with her, seeing that none of them wanted to go back to the village. She began teaching him medical ninjutsu, which he is very good at. It'll benefit a lot in the medical field, seeing as he has Kiyomi's chakra to back him up." she smiled at their faces.

"Sensei, can you get us Tsunade's location?" Minato asked.

"That's actually why I stopped by. My spy network just tracked her down."

"This meeting is adjourned. the three of you, come with me. you too Mikoto. You have some more explaining to do." the Hokage said.

"Wait! One more question! Yondaime-sama, are you going to become Hokage again?" a civilian asked.

"If my son doesn't want to return, then my wife and I won't." was all he said and walked out, ignoring their protests.

"Naruto is a kind hearted boy. He'll come back if you ask him to. he knew it was your dream to be Hokage." Mikoto said.

"Now Mikoto." the Hokage began once they entered his office, "Why didn't you inform me that Naruto was in contact with you?"

"With all due respect Hokage-sama, if I told you what would you do?"

"Send shinobi of course."

"You see. He doesn't want to come back and he trusts me. he hardly trusted anyone in the village to begin with and I didn't want to break that trust. As long as I knew he was alive out there and okay, then I would be at piece." then she turned to the parents and Jiraiya and said, "In all honesty, sometimes I believed he would have been safer in Iwa than in this village."

"Well, let's get a move on. It'll be about a day to get to the town they're in." Jiraiya said.

"Wait. there are these new genins that I would like to send with you, along with their senseis. They're mostly clan heirs and it would b good experience out of the village. Also, they're Naruto's age so he might make a friend" he said and they nodded.

"Alright, we'll take them but we leave immediately." Kushina said.

"ANBU, bring me teams 7, 8 and 10." he said.

"Ooo, my youngest son is in team 7. They have an extra place and if Naru-chan were to return, then they could be on the same team." Mikoto giggled and Kushina followed.

"That would be amazing. Imagine both our sons on the same team, just like us." and they began laughing. The others sweatdropped. 'Females are so weird.'

"Hokage-sama we called?" Kurenai said, once they were all assembled.

"Kakashi? You're on time?" Asuma said, but just saw that he was looking at the Yondaime.

"S-Sensei? So you really are alive." he said.

"Did no one know?" Minato asked.

"No, just me, Jiraiya and three ANBU. Oh and a doctor. Tsunade left before we could say anything."

"Sensei, I'm sor-"

"Its alright. We heard what you tried to do, so thank you. At least you tried to do something." Minato said, placing a reassuring hand on his student's shoulder and he viably relaxed.

"Why is the Yondaime alive?" Kiba asked.

"He was in a coma brat. Show some respect." Jiraiya said.

"I called you all here for a mission." the Hokage began. "You are to go with Minato and Kushina and help them get their son back."

"He has a son!?" the majority yelled.

"I'm standing right here you know and yes I did have a son, but he ran away when he was five." he said irritated. Why didn't they need a bunch of brats to come with them?

"Why did he run away?" Shikamaru asked.

"Let's just say that the village is filled with idiots." Kakashi said boredly.

"So, we're going to help get him back?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, and I'm coming too." Mikoto said.

"Mom? Why are you going to come?" Sasuke asked.

"Because he's my godson and I haven't seen him for a long time." she said.

"Is he the one that sends you those letters from the dragon?" and he nodded.

"Dragon?" Jiraiya asked.

"Yes, he found the summoning scroll in Uzushio. Trained there too." she said.

"I wonder if he's cute?" Ino said out loud and people gave her a look. "What? I'm just saying! Those two look hot together, so imagine their children!" making Kushina and Minato blush red.

"L-Let's just get going." Minato said and they all laughed.

'Don't worry Naruto, we're going to be a family again.'
