--------------------------In the darkness------------------------
Konoha's Forest of Death…
A young man with a long black coat was walking in the Forest of Death. He saw a shadow figure on top of a tree with a white mask.
"Come down," ordered the man in the hood.
"You're in no condition to order us like that, stranger," said the ANBU.
"I'm not a stranger. I was here before you ungrateful dumped my wish," the man said calmly.
The ANBUs stood in silence.
"Who are you then? We are ANBUs, not Genins that can't recognize one's smell."
"Unfortunately, you are all new here so you don't know about me. Anyway, I'll leave this place peacefully. I don't want to hurt any of you guys and make you regret meeting me."
The man turned his back and walked to the gate. The ANBUs didn't have any idea of what to do and just dumbfounded before Bear decided that he need to report this to the Hokage tomorrow morning.
----------------------At Ichiraku Ramen-------------------------
"So, what did you firstly do when you become the Hokage?" asked Jiraiya.
"I guess, that's not important, Jiraiya. What about you brat? You seem more mature than I met you that time."
"Nothing really. In 4 years training with Ero-sennin, I usually helped him running away from the girls in the bath house before they get him and make him got bruises and scratches."
"Hey, don't tell her about that!" screamed jiraiya.
Tsunade cracked her knuckles before she sent the poor old pervert flying into the sky. Both Naruto and Sakura just laughed at this and continued eating their ramen. Finally, they decided it was late enough and Naruto asked Sakura's permission to walk her home. Sakura agreed.
"So, what do you think about me now, Naruto?" asked Sakura with a little blush.
"Well… psychologically, you're still the same Sakura I knew before I left Konoha. But physically,.. umm… You're now really a woman."
Sakura blushed at her blond haired team mate's statement. Naruto smiled warmly. Suddenly Naruto stopped in his tracks.
"What's wrong, Naruto?" asked Sakura.
"Nothing, just go ahead. I've got something to check for a moment."
"I'm waiting with you here," stated Sakura simply.
"But Sakura-chan…"
"No buts, just go ahead."
"Fine, but don't be surprised. Someone I knew is walking toward us."
"Someone you knew? Do I know him or her?"
"…In history, yes."
"What do you mean?" asked the kunoichi again, but this time he didn't answer.
They continued walking with a full guard. As they walked along they chatted like nothing had happened. A man with a black hood passed them silently before he suddenly stopped when she heard the kunoichi called the blond guy.
"Naruto! I swear if you call Tsunade-shishou an Old Hag again, I'll send you flying to Shinigami world!"
"It's OK, Sakura-chan. I was just playing around, ok?" the blond guy laughed.
The man in the hood stopped dead in his track.
'Naruto?!'
----------------------------The next morning--------------------------
"Tsunade-sama, Bear had wished to see you," said the raven haired lady.
"Bear? What is he up to? Tell him to come in."
Bear then entered the room and told the Hokage about the stranger.
"He didn't seem to be a threat to Konoha, so we just let him go after we make sure of his chakra signature."
"Very well, then. You may leave."
"Hai, Hokage-sama."
Tsunade sat silently with her hands wrapped up on her chin. Finally she sighed and left the Hokage Tower to take a walk. She bought some dango and went to eat it in the Training Ground 3. Suddenly she stopped eating when she saw the man in Bear's description walked at her. The hood covered most of his head and she could only see a yellow sunshine hair in the hood.
"Good afternoon, Hokage-sama," the man greeted politely.
"Good afternoon,…"
"Arashi, that's my name. I bet your ANBU had told you about my coming."
"Yes, and who are you anyway?" she asked again.
The man opened the hood and took off his long black coat. He smiled at her faintly. Tsunade shocked in horror.
"I'm not a ghost and you don't have to run calling all ninja in this village."
"M-Minato?! But how? Shouldn't you be dead after using that jutsu?"
"I didn't. The jutsu required a lot amount of chakra that it made me fall like dead after using the Shiki Fuujin. A matter of fact I was saved by a… mysterious guy. He treated me very well. Anyway, I'll explain more after I see what had happened to my son."
"Who is that guy?" It was not a question but a demand and she wanted him to answer it quickly.
"… I can't tell you that just now. I would like to see my son, if possible."
"And you can't just go wander around the village, telling that you're alive or the villagers will freak out."
"I'm not going to do such a fool thing. I'll put my mask and hood when I wander around the village and I promise, there'll be no threat or killing."
"I guess that's fine. Well, let me take you to the Hokage Tower then? I'll ask Sakura to call him to you." she offered.
The former Hokage smiled and put on his hood and mask.
--------------Several minutes later--------------
"Obaa-san, you wished to see me?" asked Naruto before he saw the man in the hood.
"Stop calling me that, brat! Someone wished to see you. But before he revealed himself, I demand you not to freak out or get emo, understand."
Naruto stood silently, trying to figure out who is the man in the hood. Finally he nodded.
The man looked hesitate for a moment, but Tsunade signaled him to continue. He opened his hood slowly then he put off his mask.
"Naruto… It's me…" he said slowly.
Naruto shocked. He didn't believe what he saw and stepped back a step.
Minato looked very worried if his son would reject him. So he decided to just say, "It's me, your father…"
Naruto's feeling was mixed. Happy, sad, anger, confusion and anxiety. He just don't know what to do although he was sure that he's happy.
Minato couldn't face his son and just bowed.
…..Naruto's POV.....
'I can't believe he's alive! Even he said that he's my father!"
'Shut up, idiot! I had already known that he's still alive. I was just unable to figure out the way he could still alive'
'You already knew it, furball?! Why didn't you tell me, baka?!'
'I don't think you'll be happy with that. I know you're happy, so why don't you just run at him and start babbling like a big baby.'
'Good idea, but I'm not going to babble like a big baby, stupid fox!'
'Fine, go ahead. Just don't disturb my sleep again or I'll try to break the seal.'
Back to normal….
"…Tou-san…" said Naruto with a very low voice, almost like a whisper.
Minato's head shot up to look at his long lost son.
Naruto ran at him and hugged him. Minato could feel his tears running down at his cheeks. Sakura froze.
'That couldn't be! The Yondaime Hokage is his father?!' exclaimed inner Sakura.
Tsunade and Shizune smiled at that father and son moment.
"Way to go, Minato. Now that you can't live in your estate for a little while, where would you like to live?" asked Tsunade.
"He can live with me!" exclaimed a very happy Naruto.
"Thank you, Naruto-kun," smiled Minato.
Both blond guy walked out that room. Before they entered the village, Minato used a Henge and walked next to Naruto.
Naruto was too happy and didn't know how to react. He wanted to keep his cool, but his heart bounced with happiness and he couldn't take it any longer. He ran to the training ground with a yellow blur, leaving a shocked Minato behind. Minato then quickly followed him and found his son was exclaiming happily.
"Hey, World!! My father is alive!!! I'm no longer an orphan and you can't beat me again!!!!!!!! Hahahahaha!!!!!"
Minato smiled under his Henge and made his way to him.
"Naruto, I can understand if you're happy. But, is it okay to shout on top of your lungs like that?" he asked.
Naruto gave him, his widest foxy grin.
"I'm completely fine with that!"
When the two arrived, Naruto, who was smiling and laughing all the way with Minato, suddenly changed serious. He saw his door left open.
'I'm sure I locked it this morning,' thought Naruto.
He sent a bunshin to check inside the room. There were nobody inside or things that's missing in his apartment so he dispelled his clones and walked in with a full guard. Minato saw his reaction and just do the same.
"Yo, Naruto! I was looking for you if you can meet me at training ground 3 this evening," said a masked man.
"Oh, Kami! Kakashi-sensei, will you just wait for me and not break into my apartment like an intruder?!" shouted Naruto.
Kakashi smiled in his eye before he realized something.
"Naruto, who is the guy behind you?"
"So, you are Kakashi? My name is Arashi," said the man.
"Nice to meet you, Arashi-san. So who are you to my student?" asked Kakashi.
"I'm his acquaintance." The man responded.
"Hmm… Fine then. Don't you dare to harm him in anyway or I'll come to rip you off. Is that fine?"
Arashi smiled and nodded. Kakashi then left the two.
