A/N: Another chapter!

I know I said that the updates would probably be slow (they will be later, I think) but I couldn't manage to get this out of my head so… uhm…

Thanks to everyone who reviewed!

Enjoy :D -

Yo! Minato's back! Yes, people, that's me, in all my glory.

It was an effort though; you know I had to fight Naruto to get the computer. He didn't back down until Tsunade told him that she'd have uncle Gai writing this instead.

Now that would be all time weird. I mean this would have started like 'Oh, the beauty of youth shines brightly and the beautiful springtime of youth is upon us!' or something like that. And I swear, he would have found a way to write his goddamned 'Good Guy' pose. And hypnotized you all so that everyone started to do random exclamations of 'youth' and 'spring' and stuff like that, and everyone would be wearing green spandex…

Ouch! Naruto just poked me! Really hard!

Oh, right. The story.

Here's the deal; we never told the staff about the breathing 'statue'. We decided to check it out ourselves in the middle of the night. As I said before, Naruto and I knew the staff, it wouldn't be much of a problem. The greatest reason for us waiting to investigate any further was that we wanted to give Naruto and Sasuke a chance to come too.

The biggest issue to get out was the Parents. Seriously, we're almost sixteen. They treat us like we're five or something.

Anyway, Naruto and I told the old people that we were sleeping at Obito and Sasuke's, the Umino cousins (aka Obito and Sasuke, or crybaby and bastard if you are to be mean…) told their parents that they were staying at our place. So far, so good.

Yama, the idiot, also said that she was staying at Obito's along with me, Naruto and Sasuke. She failed to mention that Ino was coming too, and of course her parents backed out when she told them that she was staying with a bunch of guys they didn't know. So she couldn't come.

Ino just told her father (from whom she's inherited her typical 'Nara behaviour') to tell 'The Troublesome old woman' whatever he liked and that she'd probably be back by morning. Her father just shrugged and told her to stay out of the night-time open coffee shops and filling stations. Night time staff could be so troublesome. Ino rolled her eyes and left.

So there we all were, outside the gates to Konoha Museum and waiting for Hyuga-san to show up. I was really hungry and couldn't wait 'til we'd get inside. Naruto and I had packed all of our stash of instant ramen. Who knew? It could be really tiring to check that old stone-guy and spend the night at the museum (not that we – meaning my twin and I, hadn't done that before).

You should have seen his face! I swear, Hyuga Hakke-san's eyes almost popped out of his head! It really reminded me a lot of the first time Naruto and I broke into the museum at night. I did mention our superior lock-picking before, didn't I? In any case, the old place's security sucks. He was so shocked when he saw us in there that he dropped his flashlight and then had to rub his eyes over, and over, and over again. I wonder what made him most shocked, that we had managed to get in or that we were actually interested in the stuff and wasn't there vandalizing.

The light on the other side of the glass-doors was turned on and we could see Hakke-san coming towards us, then he froze. – That was when we saw that face I wrote about earlier.

"What are you kids doing here?" he asked and looked at us. I swear he was checking Ino out, yuck, that's just creepy…

"We're having a sleep over! Believe it!" Naruto yelled and we both smiled at him. Oh perhaps I should've mentioned it earlier, there are actually something different about Naruto's and my looks. We are the same height, same weight and blah, blah, blah, but (besides from Naruto being the one wearing insane amounts of orange…) Naruto also has these weird marks on his face that kind of look like whiskers. They're really faint and only shows in certain lights. The creepiest thing is that they look like the one's the Shichidaime had and that just makes them more alike. I wonder if they act(ed) the same too…

Hey! Perhaps Naruto is like 'the Shichidaime Reborn'! That would be so cool. Hm… I wonder were I'd fit in there. Perhaps I could be the Yondaime, and we could sort of be Hokage's together, like the Shodaime and Nidaime! Or did Shodaime retire before Nidaime took the post…? Hm… Anyway, if that was the case then I'd be the one to rule first! Everyone knows that Yondaime comes way before Shichidaime!

Great, I've lost the story again… Let's see.

Right!

Hakke-san sighed and let us in.

"Are you kids staying the night so I can get home or do I have to stay and lock up and such after you?" he asked. It makes me really proud, that the management of the museum consider us worthy to take on such responsibility, they know that we have stayed the night and agrees that if we are there, Hakke can take the night off.

I wonder how our old folks would react if they knew that we're sort of working like night-guards at a museum.

"We're staying!" I said with a smile and Hakke-san tossed me his keys.

"Just clean up the kitchen when you're done." Last time, we had gotten into a random Ramen-fight and forgotten to clean it up; we thought that we'd be banned from the museum forever. Apparently, the management thought it was funny and didn't care that much. They like that young people seem interested in old stuff, I guess.

We got into the museum and Naruto took off, challenging Sasuke that he'd never be able to turn on all the lights in the two lowest stories of the building before he had turned on everything in the two higher ones. Naruto took off towards the stairs and Sasuke gave a 'Hn' before he walked around the front desk and pushed the main switch.

Naruto came down the stairs muttering about 'cheating bastards'. Ino took the lead (back) up the stairs to the room that still served as the Hokage's office, sort of. Naruto and I shot longing looks towards the kitchen as we left ground floor and Sasuke and Obito threw angry glares at each other. They have both always been unable to stand the other. Sasuke's all his life been really snobbish about his 'ancient Uchiha family' (an attitude he no doubt inherited from his father…) while Obito is more like his Uchiha mother, who never cared much about bloodlines and the importance of families. Those opinions was what had separated the siblings (meaning Obito's mom and Sasuke's dad) and Sasuke, or Obito, whatever, neither of them, met the other more than like… twice, or something before Sasuke's parents got killed and he was forced to move in with Obito.

You're probably wondering who killed off poor little Sasuke's family (and don't go all fan-girlish on me now), and this is a big shocker… It was…

A furby!

I promise! Those things are evil!

Okay, okay, no one knows who did it. Happy now? Though Obito's older brother (he's like twenty-five and lives on the other side of Konoha) was a suspect for a while.

We gathered around the stone figure who sat leaned against a wall. It had those kinds of thick, red ropes on golden poles (you know what I mean, right?) around it. We took those away and leaned in closer.

Sasuke's only reaction to the breathing – that was actually more noticeable now (or perhaps it was because I knew it was breathing already), his reaction was a slight narrowing of his eyes. Naruto's way of handling the not-so-much-since-we-had-told-him-already surprise was a lot funnier. It was like something in the lines of:

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! UNCLE GAI WAS RIGHT! UNCLE GAI WAS RIGHT IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEE!!" all while running around the room. And people call me hyper? Just look at the blonde idiot.

IDIOT?? WHO IS THE IDIOT HERE REALLY? STOP BUGGING ME AND WRITE THE STORY!!

Okey… random Naruto strikes again… And he doesn't understand this thing called 'Caps Lock' either. I did tell you we were nothing alike, right?.

Or perhaps the Caps Lock thing has to do with school… those kids at KC-high doesn't have any kind of computer-science until next year.

Besides, Naruto just ate a whole bag of candy; he gets like that when he's on sugar. Okay, I'm like that on sugar too… Any kinds of soda and candy were strictly banned from the house when we were younger. It was the best when the old ladies next door thought that our parents were mean and gave us loads of candy and then we were up all night running around like crazy.

Back to the Hokage's office:

Ino was flipping through some book, Naruto and I had settled for eating un-cooked instant ramen (it's good, really!) Sasuke had pulled out his iPod (I want one of those too! My mp3's all small with a black-and-white display… and it can only hold like fifty songs). Obito sat next to the stone-y Hokage.

When we'd been here the first time he'd said that there was something familiar about the guy. I said 'yeah, you recognize him from our history books and the monument, duh!' and he had just ignored me. He also had this strange habit of constantly rubbing his left eye when we were in the museum.

"Uhm.." Obito's voice broke the silence that actually hadn't been so silent since we'd been chewing on dry ramen but anyway. "Doesn't his clothes start to look kind of… blue?"

I walked up to the guy on the floor and leaned over him a bit. Obito was right. A dark, navy blue was slowly spreading across the stone sleeves and pant-legs, the same thing was happening to the mask and hitae-ate and it all lost its stone'y-ness. Now that was high on the creep-factor. I leaned in closer.

A pale skin-tone crept over the small patch of visible skin, Obito and I glanced at each other and then back at the Hokage. The single eye opened drowsily and the man yawned. Then, he seemed to freeze, not that he had moved much. I don't think he was able to yet, he was kind of part-stone still. He looked at me.

"Naruto?" he asked. Naruto? Did he know Naruto? Did he think I was Naruto? "What're you doing here, aren't you supposed to be on a mission?"

"Erm… I'm not Naruto, that's Naruto," I said, pointing over my shoulder. "I'm Minato!" I smiled at him. What was I supposed to do? Run around and scream 'It's alive!' or what?

"Sensei?" the Hokage asked in confusion, I don't think his head was working properly at the moment. He sat up slowly, saw Obito, and fainted. Seriously, who'd thought that a Hokage would faint? Just like that? The guy was a bloody wimp.

So we all sat around and waited for him to wake up again. Ino pointed out that the Yondaime Hokage had been Hatake Kakashi's teacher, and that I kind of looked like the former, and, after waking up after more than a hundred years of being stone he was probably quite… uhm… weird.

And Uzumaki Naruto had been the Rokudaime's student. I guess I kind of looke like the former of those too. Since I look like Naruto and yeah.. you know.

While we waited, we decided to check out his book. The cover read 'Icha, Icha Tactics'. Damn now I owed Ino more money. She had lent me some earlier so I could go and buy ramen.

Naruto snatched the book out of Ino's hands.

"I knew it was about slugs!" he yelled. It was a major sweat-drop moment. All of us (except for Naruto, apparently) knew what those books was about. We had even been forced to read it in school. Out loud. Since our teacher considered it to be 'one of the classics'. That woman is such a pervert. The only funny about that had been when people had actually fallen asleep while Ino read. She had been sounding so bored while everyone else had been blushing and constantly stuttering while reading.

Anyway, the guy was Hokage and walked around with a book like that? It made me wonder if all Hokage's had been having weird obsessions. It's known that at least Uzumaki Naruto was a ramen junkie and that Tsunade had been a gambler. Hatake Kakashi had apparently been, no wait, he apparently was a pervert. Though I have to admit that I like that book… just don't tell anyone, 'kay?

Then, the Hokage woke up. He saw us, and fainted. Again. What the hell was wrong with the guy?
