Recap:

"I see, well let's get going shall we" with that Yamamoto took his sword from his side and stabbed it into what seemed to be thin air but as soon as that was done a set of traditional style Japanese doors appeared and opened, and with that the group of four accompanied by four black butterflies entered the doors as the quickly shut behind them.

In a small clearing were four boys. Two of the boys were obviously older than the other two. One of the elder boys had white hair and hazel brown eyes, the other older boy had brown hair and light brown eyes. The stood watching as the two younger boys jumped around and played with each other. The two younger boys looked alike, one was about 3'5" had black hair that looked almost dark blue, and had emerald eyes. He looked to be about 6 years old, other boy was about 4'1" had dark black hair and hazel eyes; He looked to be about the age of 9 years old.

"Isshin... Amagai......time to go" called the older boy with white hair. He was about 4'8" and looked he was about 13 years old. "Aw....do we have to, can't we stay longer?" the 6 year old asked with a pleading look as he looked at the two older boys. The brown haired boy smiled slightly at the face and said "Amagai –kun, we need to head back; your Oka-san, and otouto will be home soon with Yamamoto –sensei soon." Amagai pouted as the black haired 9 year old shock his head at his little brother.

"Come on Amagai – otouto, Oka-san and Kisuke – otouto will be back soon and Oka –san will probably make your favourite food for dinner tonight." the 9 year old said as he smiled to his younger brother. Amagai pouted slightly then smiled as he said "Alright Isshin –niisan" With that the two younger boys walked back towards their house.

"You think their back yet, Jushiro?" the brown haired boy asked his friend. The white haired man, now known as Jushiro smiled and said "Their probably their already, I mean it's already mid afternoon, Kyoraku" Kyoraku laughed and nodded his head in agreement as the two made their way towards the two younger boys house.

In a large old style Japanese house a set of traditional Japanese doors appeared and opened. As they opened four black butterflies flew out. Behind the four butterflies three people walked out as on was being carried. "It's been a long time since I've been here" Naruto said softly as he looked around the area where the doors had opened. "Hm.....yes it has, a lot of things had changed, but it's still peaceful and beautiful" Yamamoto said to the young looking blond.

Mira smiled softly as she looked at her husband Naruto carrying Kisuke. "We should get inside so you can put Kisuke in his bed, Isshin and Amagai will be home soon." Mira said softly. Naruto nodded as he followed Yamamoto and Mira inside of the house.

After Naruto had put Kisuke in his room to sleep he watched as Mira prepare some food for dinner. He quietly made his way outside to the back gardens where he used to go all the time before he was made High King. "Lost in thought, Naruto –kun?" Yamamoto asked his friend. Naruto smiled and closed his eyes as he leaned against the tree he stood under. "Hm....it's been such a long time since I've been here; I'm worried about what my two elder sons will say when they see me." Naruto said as he ran a hand through his hair.

Yamamoto smiled sadly then said "Naruto, my old friend, they will still love you no matter what happened in the past. If you explain it to them they will understand the responsibilities that you have, I mean even if you can't really tell them that you're the High King and their the heirs to the thrown" Naruto let out a small chuckle and said "Knowing Isshin and Amagai, it'll go to their heads"

They stood there in the garden in silence for a while. A few moments paced until they felt four spiritual pressures heading towards the house. "Isshin and Amagai" Naruto whispered to himself. He stood then disappeared before Yamamoto could stop him. Yamamoto sighed then headed back inside the house knowing Naruto would most likely hide somewhere until he could see them.

Four figures approached the house, two were wearing blue and white kimonos and the other two were in royal blue and black kimonos. The two older boys watched as the two younger boys in front of them laughed and run towards their home. Hearing the sounds of laughter Mira finished her cooking and made her way to the front door to greet her sons and Jushiro and Kyoraku.

"Hello you four, how was your day?" Mira asked the boys as they reached the front steps of the house. Isshin smiled a big smile before he said "We went to the park and Jushiro and Kyoraku Nii-san showed us some katas for zanjutsu." Mira smiled at her eldest and said to the boys "Well come in and wash yourselves up for dinner, will you be joining us Jushiro, Kyoraku?" The two older boys nodded their head as they walked into the house to get ready for dinner

Once they were finished cleaning up the four boys entered the dining room where they saw Mira and Yamamoto talking to one another. They stopped as soon as they heard the boys enter the room bowing politely before they took their seats. "Oka-san, where is Kisuke-kun" asked young Amagai. Seeing him not in the room Jushiro spoke and said "I'll check his room and go and get him". Excusing himself he left the room and walked down one of the many halls towards the youngest child's room to bring him for dinner.

Jushiro had always liked being around the Namikaze family. On many occasions he and Kyoraku would spend the night after a hard day session of training. He liked to think of the young Namikaze boys of younger brothers to himself. Once he arrived at the room he knocked gently before entering. In the room he saw Kisuke asleep in his bed hugging his stuffed bear. Gently walking over to the boy he shook him gently to wake him.

"Kisuke –kun, time to get up or you're going to miss dinner." Jushiro said in a soft voice knowing that at the mention of food he would normally wake up. "Oto-san, come back.....don't leave us again....." Kisuke mumbled. This shocked Jushiro having known from the other two Namikaze boys that their father had left when Kisuke was 1, Amagai was 5, and Isshin was 8. He knew that probably only Isshin would remember their father in the clearest memory, but to her this from Kisuke made him wonder.

He was brought out of his thoughts when Kisuke began to walk up. "Jushiro-Nii-san, where am I?" Kisuke asked sleepily. Jushiro paused in his musings and smiled to Kisuke and said "We're in your room, Yamamoto –sensei must have brought you here after you fell asleep from your trip."Kisuke nodded then said "Do you know Oto-san went, Jushiro –Nii?" Jushiro shook his head before he said "Come on, your Oka-san, Yama –sensei, Kyoraku, and your Nii-sans are waiting for us." With that Kisuke nodded and followed Jushiro out of the room.

When they arrived they had a nice dinner talking about small things when everyone felt a sudden pressure outside the house in the backyard. Kisuke feeling the pressure shot up from his seat and ran out the back door. Seeing this Isshin immediately ran after him while the others followed shortly after him. When Isshin had arrived he saw a sight that made him happy at the same time very angry. There in the middle of the backyard was their father with one of his swords out and Kisuke hugging him tightly around his leg.

"Otsu-san!" Kisuke said out loud. When the others had arrived they saw Naruto put his sword back in its sheath and smiled at Kisuke and then looked over at them with a smile. "Hey" Naruto said with a small smile on his face. The reaction was immediate; Amagai who recognised him ran to him and hugged him tightly as he said "Oto-san"

Yamamoto and Mira watched the sight with smiles on their faces seeing the second eldest son run and hug his father. Jushiro and Kyoraku looked at the man with confusion at exactly who the two younger boys called 'Oto-san'. Isshin looked at the scene with anger, sadness, and happiness at the same time. Naruto seeing the look on his eldest son face moved away from his two younger sons and approached his eldest.

Seeing him move Isshin also moved forward as if mirroring his father's movements. When they came to the center of the yard they stood facing each other. Naruto crouched down to the height of his eldest son and waited. Isshin looked into his father's eyes then closed his eyes. He remembered the day he had they were told he had died, he remembered how sad his mother and brothers were when they had found out.

He slowly opened his eyes as tears started to slowly come down his face. "Why….why did you lie to us….baka Oto-san….baka." Isshin said as Naruto pulled him close in an embrace. "I'm sorry Isshin, I'm so sorry…."Naruto whispered in his ear.

"….'Oto-san'…wouldn't that make that man their Isshin, Kisuke, and Amagai's father?" Kyoraku asked slightly confused.

"That's their father Kyoraku –kun, Jushiro –kun." Yamamoto said with a small smile on his face.

"….but Yamamoto –sensei, I thought you said that your friend was older than you?" Jushiro asked softly.

To this question Yamamoto let loss a small chuckle and said "He is older than I am, but a few years not much in knowledge and power….age wise I am older than he is by maybe 700 years."
