A/N: uuhhh it's much harder to write a story than I thought. Hope you like it…

Chapter 2: Alive!

Pain. Pain was the first thing Minato felt when start to regain his consciousness. Minato lift his heavy eye lids and a smell of leftover rain filled his nose. He swallow dryly and try to look around with his blurry vision. The pain still aching over his body. He laid there collecting his thoughts. He was in pain. He was in pain…pain. He hasn't felt pain since the night the nine tails ended his life.

Minato shot up as pain sharply travel thought his body. His vision was still a little blurry but he can make out the trees, grass and the sun! He was alive! He was back on earth! An overwhelming feeling of warmth and happiness fill throughout his body. He started laughing ignoring the pain and taking a deep breath of the fresh air. He laid back down and stretched his muscles. Then he started to roll around in the grass with pure happiness! He was going to see his grandkids!

His grandkids, he was going to see his son's family, his son as a full grown man! And meet his beautiful daughter-in-law! Images of the Shinigami shaking his hand flashed through his head. The deal. He remember the deal he made with the Shinigami. He can't let anyone recognize him. He felt a little sad that he couldn't speak to his son without him recognizing that he was his father who back from the dead. He needs to be extra careful, Naruto wasn't the dense reckless ninja anymore but a kage level ninja now. A ninja who ended the fourth ninja war. Minato smiled.

He stood up slowly still sore with pain and with his stiff neck he study his surroundings. It seem like he was in a very familiar forest not too far from the village. Just a couple miles east. He smiled as the sun warm his whole body and he felt the cooling breeze touched his body. He frowned a little the breeze was a little too breezy he looked down to see his very naked body. "Shinigami" he silently cursed the death god.

'First thing to do: get some clothes' he thought as his cheeks grew hot and his face turning into different shades of red. He covered his most private area with his hands and began to walk towards north away from the village. If his memories were right, there should be a small town a couples miles from the village.

*_a few hours later_*

Minato was wearing a simple Jounin long sleeve shirt, a belt with his kunai pouch, black pants, black boots that reach to his calves and a dark finger-less glove. He also wore a black hooded cloak that reached to his feet. Minato felt bad as he walked out of the town wearing the stolen clothing but he promise to return here with the money later.

He was glad to see his ninja skills was still as perfect as the day he died. The blonde had no problem sneaking into the small town that grew over the years and which was now populated with ninjas from different villages. He was also naked in broad daylight but still manage to sneak into a Ninja gear store without being notice. He only took what he needed and left without a trace.

Minato stretched his now pain free muscles making sure he can move in his outfit without a problem. Once satisfied he move towards the east on a trail that leads to his home. The blonde looked at the sights. He wanted to remember everything of this era that had no war and was finally at peace. He was glad to know the villagers with no ninja abilities can finally walk out of their home village without the protection of a ninja and without the fear of being killed by rogue ninjas. Minato wants to remember this feeling of peace before he goes back to the afterlife and move on to the other side with his wife. He walked up the hill as his home came in to view a few miles away. He can feel the warmth growing in his heart. He was almost home.

Minato study the village. His home has change a lot! It wasn't the same village he died protecting all those years ago. Heck it wasn't a village anymore it was a city. The village has overall grown in size and a series of skyscrapers have been built behind the Hokage monument. With his own face and his son as the seventh Hokage on the Hokage monument. Pride swelled in his heart. He was proud of his and Kushina son. Naruto must be a fine Hokage watching and protecting the Konoha.

Minato began walking again towards the city but with a quicker pace. The closer he got the faster his pace became until he starts to run. Minato ran wanting to see his grandkids already and the closer he got to the village he could see the open gates and the busy street of Konoha. "If anyone recognizes you. Your memories will be erased." The Shinigami voice echoed in the blonde head. He stopped dead in his tracks.

Minato frowned he had forgotten he couldn't let anyone recognize him. He reached up and touched his long spikey golden blonde hair. Everyone knows about the nine tails attack on the village years ago. Everyone knows the fourth had blonde spikey hair and blue eyes. Minato looked and stared at his own face on the Hokage monument. He sighed this wasn't going to be easy.

_1 hour later_

Minato smiled at his clone who was examining him for any recognizable mistakes. The clone he had created had slicked his long blonde hair (like Hidan hair) back using jell to hold down his spikey blonde hair. The clone put an Anbu mask on his original and put the cloaks hood over Minato head. No one should recognize him now. Now the blonde felt like he could walk into the city without anyone being suspicious of him.

The blonde smiled as he dispelled his clone and walked back on the trail. He contain his excitement as he got closer to the gate of his home. Once he was only a step way of entering the city. Minato crystal blue eyes was the only thing showing from behind the mask. He looked around and he closed his eyes and took his first step in his home.
