September 23rd,

Stood in a hospital room looking over his sleeping wife and holding his new born child was a rather tall man at around 6ft who had uncontrollable blonde hair wearing the standard jonin outfit except one additional item that was a white short sleeved jacket which had orange flames at the bottom and the words 'Fourth Hokage' written in kanji on the back, smiling blissfully at the new found joy of his life so lost in the moment he was that he never heard someone enter the room behind him.

"There's no feeling greater is there Minato-san?"

"No there is not" Minato said turning to his predecessor the Sandaime Hokage , Hiruzen Sarutobi.

It wasn't long until Minato's face turned from a smile and into a serious face which was returned by the one known as 'The professor' knowing that there was something troubling his successor.

"What is it Minato-san?"

"What if I had of failed in keeping the Kyuubi sealed within Kushina-chan? What would I have done? Would I still have protected the village over my own son? And even if I did how would I have stopped the Kyuubi?" Minato said before releasing a sigh "I don't know whether I still deserve this title Sarutobi-sama" pointing to what was written onto his back.

"Minato!" The old Sarutobi said with a very serious tone causing the young Hokage to look at him with his undivided attention "You are the strongest shinobi within this village and I am un sure that without you that we would have even been able to win the third shinobi world war." Minato had a small smile but this did not make him feel any better about the situation until Hiruzen spoke again, "But this is not the reason why chose you as my successor. It is your other qualities that I chose you." The old Sarutobi walked up to the young Hokage and placed a hand on his shoulder and gave a re-assuring smile "The reasons a chose you are because despite your years you are the wisest man I know and most importantly you put those that are a family to you above anything else I know that like me you hold the entire village as family, that is why I have no doubt that you would have protected the village."

This finally got the blonde Hokage to smile a true smile "Thank you Sarutobi-sama, I needed to hear that I cannot be doubting myself now there are too many people who depend on me to remain strong" finally letting out sigh and looking at his new born son "However that can wait a while for now I think will just spend time with my son, may I ask you to take care of things while I get my family life sorted I shall only be a few days."

Sarutobi could only smile as he remembered when he had seen his first born for the first time and how happy yet how daunting the feeling was but Minato is much younger than what he was. "Of course Minato-san you take what time you need. Now have you found a name for this young one?"

"Naruto"

Minato spun quickly round to where the voice came from and saw that his wife had finally woken again but with very tired eyes.

"His name is Naruto" spoke the red hair woman once again

"Kushina-chan you shouldn't be awake you need to rest more"

Kushina then let out a weak chuckle "How can I sleep with all this worrying and self-doubting going on around me?"

Minato let a small laugh of his own as he went and sat on the bed with Kushina and handed the little blond child to her "Your amazing Kushina-chan to create perfection while dealing with the Kyuubi inside you I don't know anyone greater"

Kushina gave a small grin to her husband "Yea I am amazing aren't I" as she said this, the blond child began to wake and the two parents began to coo over their new born.

The old Sarutobi could only smile at the antics of the two newly made parents but just as he was about to leave the two of them a crash through the window was heard and a cloud of smoke appeared and now all the man could do was shake his head

"Feast your eyes upon the hermit of mount Myoboku, the wise and immortal spirit, the sensei of the great Yondaime hokage, sensei of the soon to be Godaime Hokage, one of the three legendary sannin the toad mount sage, the valiant Jiraya"

Upon this outburst left a face palmed Sarutobi, a smiling happily Hokage, a very annoyed and tired Kushina and finally a giggling and excited blond baby. After seeing all of their reactions Jiraya stood there grinning at those he considered most precious to him. "So how do you like my new introduction?"

"Couldn't you have just used the door like I did Jiraya-chan?" asked the old Sarutobi.

Now having a grin bigger than before and rubbing the back of his head Jiraya replies "But then you would not have seen my grand new introduction"

Minato couldn't help but smile at his sensei's childish nature as he has seen him act like this on many occasions and new today was clearly not going to be an exception. "Isn't it a little early to presume that he will be Hokage Jiraya-sensei"

"Are you kidding?" the hermit said leaping to his old students and rapping an arm round his shoulder "Think about it" gesturing his free hand to no particular spot in the ceiling "With his father as the Hokage and most powerful shinobi 'Yellow Flash' in all the elemental nations and the 'Red-Hot Habanero' as a mother and of course me the legendary Jiraya of the Sannin as his Godfather there is just no way that this child is not going to be the strongest in all the nations, I think he may even surpass you"

At this the Hokage could only realise the potential that his son carries but also knew that he was never going to force anything onto his son and that he would allow him to choose his own path.

However on the other side of the room the old Sarutobi had realised that what his student had said was true the strength at which this boy could grow to was unimaginable and that he could may even come on par in strength as his own sensei's. 'I may need to watch you Naruto as you may indeed become very powerful something that Danzo will know as well, I will keep you safe from him Naruto.'

"That's enough now Jiraya-sama" all turned round to the now sat up Kushina, "Naruto-chan's path in life will not be decided today it shall be chosen by himself when he is ready" The Hokage smiled at his wife for this knowing that even though they are different in many ways they always think alike. "Now I do not mean to be rude Sarutobi-sama, Jiraya-sama but I am very tired and wish to spend a bit of time with my husband and child before I go to sleep again so…."

"Do not worry Kushina-chan" Hiruzen interrupted "It is we who should be apologising as we are intruding on a very special family occasion" with that said he turned round and opened the door "Come Jiraya-chan it is time that we be leaving"

"But sensei I wish to spend time with my Godson" The toad sage says with a pout

"Jiraya!" the professor commands with a stern voice, with that caused a Jiraya to hurried out of the room "Don't worry I will handle all affairs for you while you get things in order Hokage-sama" and with a quick nod the old Sarutobi left.

For the next half hour the two new parents sat mostly in silence just admiring at their new born son until it was time for Kushina to sleep again, as his wife lay asleep and his son was asleep in his crib Minato had one main thought going through his mind that was panicking him. 'I have no way to defeat the kyuubi if it was ever free there must be a way.'

Time skip 3 years

A 3 year old Naruto was walking down the streets of Konoha the greatest of the five great hidden villages with his mother although there was not much that resembled the mother on her son as he was almost a carbon copy of his father with his wild blonde hair and facial features that mostly resemble his father's as well the whisker marks that were on his cheeks when he was born had faded over the years and disappeared altogether (I'm putting the whisker marks to the influence of the kyuubi chakra however he doesn't have it in him now and so it has no more influence,) even the child's mannerisms were like his fathers he was a calm quiet child always showing respect to those around him and being kind to those not as well off as himself something that surprised everyone the first time that they meet him as they had never seen a child seem so much older than what he was.

This did have Kushina worried though as she did not think of her son as acting normal as he did not appear to be making friends and seem to prefer sitting out the way and reading about either the village or the life of a shinobi which she believed was due to one perverted sages influence, however her husband had tried to re assure her that Naruto was 'just acting his own way' but Kushina didn't trust this explanation so had decided to take her son to the park hoping to bring out his 'inner child', when they arrived they found that there were many mothers and fathers there that had brought their children one in particular that Kushina recognised was a Mikoto Uchiha.

Kushina gave a large smile and with a big wave she shouted "Mikoto-chan! Hey Mikoto-chan" The one named Mikoto could only smile at her long time best friends silly behaviour as she had become accustomed to, however she spotted the small child by her friends side realisation hit her 'Has it been that long since I've seen Kushina-san I haven't seen that boy since he was a baby'

With Naruto

As Kushina approached the bench the Mikoto was sat on, Naruto had spotted a boy that was around the same age as he was sat by a tree reading a book and had decided to approach him to see what it was he was reading, as he got right behind him he began to read the book over the boys shoulder which appeared to be about the history of the village before Naruto realised the boy had turned his head to him. "You are very quiet I didn't realise you were there" realising where the voice came from Naruto looked down to the boys eyes.

"Apologies it was rude of me to sneak up on you and read over your shoulder like that" he replied with a small bow, Naruto then walked round in front of him and sat cross legged "I was curious as to what you are reading as I enjoy books myself"

The boy in front of Naruto did not appear to give any emotion into what Naruto was saying however unknown to Naruto he had now become a very interesting person to the boy. "It is the history of Konoha, my father says I must learn this if I wish to become the head of my clan so that I know all the important people within the village" With that said Naruto gave a small nod of his head in understanding as his father had said that he had to learn those that are important as well. "May I ask you something?" Naruto just continued to look at the boy showing that he had his undivided attention. "I am not like others around my age as you can see I do not talk too many my age so, why have you come over to me?"

With this said Naruto gave just as much a blank look as the boy in front of him does "Because I noticed you reading when others were climbing and running which makes you the most like me that I can see around here" the two boys just stared at each other for a short while trying to figure the other out until an unexpected question came at Naruto.

"May I call you friend?" This caused the first emotion to appear it was of slight shock as his eyes had slightly widened but slowly turned into a small smile and he gave a small nod causing a small smile on the boy's face.

"My name is Namikaze, Naruto"

"A pleasure to meet you Namikaze-san mine is Uchiha, Itachi" at this they had a small chuckle at both boys first friendship being made.

"Uchiha-san may I read with you?" Itachi gave a small nod and Naruto moved to Itachi's side and they began to read the book together.

With Kushina

Kushina was sat next to her best friend Mikoto on the bench catching up on everything that they had missed in the others' lives; however when the topic of Naruto and Itachi came up both were hesitant to say anything.

"So Itachi-chan is different as well then?" Kushina asked with a worried look knowing her son was in a similar predicament.

"He doesn't talk much to others his age but even those close to him we struggle to get more than a few sentences out of him." Mikoto stated with a tear building in her eye "I just want him to make friends"

"Naruto-chan is the same he just seems so distant, I don't know how much he understands and doesn't in his life and that he might have felt he has to grow up quickly for his father but I know that is the last thing Minato-kun would want"

"I think Fugaku-kun pushes Itachi-chan too much to become a strong shinobi for the sake of the clan and doesn't allow him to be himself, but hopefully that won't be for too long" she said placing a hand on her own belly.

"You're pregnant again Mikoto-chan!" Kushina shouted standing and pointing a finger at the one she's accusing causing a sweat drop on said person.

"No, no, not yet" allowing for both mothers to calm down "But I'm trying to talk Fugaku-kun into having another child maybe having something as precious as a brother or sister might crack that shell of his" at this she turned to Kushina again with a smile "well at least hopefully"

This caused Kushina to think 'A brother or sister to protect? Would that work? Is that what you need Naruto-chan?"

During Kushina's contemplation Mikoto had looked up to see a curious sight her son was sat next Naruto both reading the book Itachi had brought with him causing her mouth to slightly open in shock 'What are the chances that the first friend you would make would be him Itachi-kun'

"Mikoto-chan do you think…." At the sight of her friend's face and seeing that she was completely entranced by some sort of sight turned to see the same thing "Mikoto-chan is that your son with mine?" The only response Kushina was a slight nod.

Time skip 1 year 3 months

During this time Naruto and Itachi had spent almost every day together only days where the Hokage required his family in formal meetings or Itachi had to attend clan business did they not spend time together causing a lot of the village to nickname them the "Ni Shizoku kara kyōdai (brothers from two clans)", this of course caused the two boys to become extremely close and not extending their friendship with others. However neither boy felt that they needed to have any other friends besides each other.

It was only with each other that the two boys showed their true emotions being able to trust in each other completely and so allowed what would be a casual smile too most people was an explosion of emotion to each other, as they sat across from each other in Itachi's room, both boys had the biggest smile they had ever showed each other before both shouting "Naruto/Itachi-san I want to tell you something" both looked at each other a little surprised by the others outburst before both began to chuckle at the scene that they just had. Itachi managed to gain his composure first "You first Naruto-san"

Naruto giving a quick nod and returning to the smile he had before "Kaa-chan told me something today, I'm going to have a Otōto or Imōto. Isn't that great?"

"Naruto-san" Itachi replied with a bit of shock causing Naruto to have a slight look of worry before Itachi could continue "That's perfect!"

"What do you mean Itachi-san?" Naruto asks with a bit of confusion

"Kaa-chan has told me the same thing, I'm going to have a Otōto or Imōto to"

This caused the two boys to just have the same smiles they had at the beginning of their conversation "Itachi-san? Do you think that they will be as good friends as what we are?"

"I think they become closer than what even me and you are Naruto-san"

Time skip 10 months (October 10th)

Sat at the doorway to the Uchiha main house within the compound, are Naruto and Itachi next to him with a baby boy in his arms with many similar features to himself. Both boys are smiling profusely to the little bundle in Itachi's arms when all of a sudden an ominous feeling overcame both boys and both began to glare over the compound walls "Do you feel that Itachi?"

"I do Naruto what is it?" at this the baby began to cry

"I think Sasuke feels it to"

"Don't worry Sasuke because no matter what both of your Ani are always here to protect you"

Itachi looked up from his younger brother to the blond to see Naruto give a serious look and a strong nod to show that he agreed.
