Hi im back

Ch 2

It was an instant her (naruto now shigure) body felt sore and she felt grass under her. As she opened her eyes she had to blink back the light. She noticed she was so small and also, she was naked.

There were dead bodies near so she grabbed a shirt off of a body, it was long enough to reach her feet. There was a battle going on near so she decided to see who was fighting, maybe figure out when and where she was.

Her eyes bugged out and her jaw dropped. There was the famed yellow flash of konoha fighting what looked like a group of iwa nin.

When the last nin fell shigure tripped and tumbled into the clearing. Minato looked over but his eyes softened as he saw the small girl. He slowly walked over so not to startle her but was surprised when the child latched onto his leg.

He was about to pry the girl off a little when he felt the pull from the kunai he gave kakashi. Without thinking he scooped up the small girl and flashed away. With the girl tucked in one arm he quickly killed the iwa nin attacking his team. It was too late for obito Uchiha though.

As they were making their way back to konoha minato suddenly froze. Both his students turned and looked at him and for the first time noticed he had a small child cradled in one arm.

Minato was suddenly scared beyond belief. He never used that jutsu with another living thing because of the strain it puts on the body. His healing ability, which he kept secret prevented damage to his body but the last time he took a full grown man, a trained shinobi form one side of the battle field to the other it caused him to be hospitalized for a week from internal damage.

He was afraid the small child in his arm was badly hurt because he did not think before he grabbed her. With a little fear he shifted his arm a little to see the girls face. He sighed with relief and a little confusion as the child looked over at his two students. He saw the little girl glance at his female student rin but then started to stare at kakashi.

He wondered if kakashi had a new admirer tat idea vanished as he saw the girls eyes narrow slightly, he could not help but laugh as he heard the few words the girl mumbled.

~!~

shigure wanted a better look at the fight but tumbled out. She saw her father walk towards her so she grabbed his leg as fast as she could. Next thing she knew he had picked her up and held her tight so she could not see. She felt what sort of felt like a shushin, but I hurt a little. She felt him stiffen shortly after and then slowly turned her around. She felt him relax a little as she stared to examine the two in front of her.

The girl was an inuzuka. She cold tell be looks and smell. She looked over, it was kakashi for sure, and he was so young. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at that blasted mask. "Must destroy mask" she mumbled under her breath as she felt the man holding her laugh.

"So what is your name little one?"

Shigure hid her head in minato's neck. She had to sort through what she could and could not say, and how to say it.

Minato rubbed her back a little. Shigure looked at him and decided to just say as little as she could.

"Its ok, we wont hurt you." Minato whispered as he was about to put her down but instead just shifted her to get a better hold when he felt her grab his color in panic.

"My name is shigure kosaka."

"So shigure-chan, where are your parents we could take you to them."

She stiffened in his hold, 'how do I explain it?'

She could feel them all staring at her so she took a deep breath and turned to them with teary pain filled eyes causing them all, even kakashi to flinch.

"My father died before I can remember so I know only a little about him, but my mom, "she choked back a sob as she remembered kyuubi's last words. "She's gone because she protected me from the bad red-eyed man who hurt us cuz he wanted my power."

"What power little one." Minato softly asked.

"Mom said I have special eyes that only I will have because of what a bad man did to me. Mom called it the kitsunegan, and with them I could see through the bad man's tricks. I think I only have my dad's little brother left. Dad told mom and mom told me that if any thing should happen go to konoha and find him."

"So what is the name of your uncle?"

Shigure tilted her head and scratched the side of her ear cutely.

"I don't know his name or what he looks like but I know he has the same bloodline I got form my father's side of the family."

Rin looked at the little girl. "So what is your bloodline? What is it called?"

Shigure smiled a little but in her mind she was cackling evilly.

"I really don't know what it is called but I can show you."

Next thing any of them knew the girl pilfered a kunai from minato's pocket.

Minato's eye's widened 'how did she do that.'

"Careful with that it's sharp."

Shigure grinned, "I've had a little training and im good with these."

Minato was about to protest when the small child cut the back of her arm. He watched in shock as the back of her arm quickly healed. Kakashi and rin were awed by the usefulness of the ability but were confused by the look on their sensei's face as his grip on the girl tightened.

"Sensei are you ok?" rin asked in concern.

Minato lightly took the kunai out of the girls hand and cut the back of his arm and just like the girl it healed right up.

His students looked at him in shock. It was kakashi who spoke through. "Well that expanse why you're never badly hurt after battle."

Shigure fell asleep and entered her mindscape. As she walked around she made sure everything was well hidden in the pipes. The cage was still there but she could explain it and get rid of a snake at the same time. She had to check over every thing so she knew she would be out for a few hours.

Team minato set up camp for the night. His team watched him as he leaned on a tree with the little girl in his lap with his arms wrapped around her. He couldn't believe it, as an orphan his wish was to have a family. Now thinks to this little girl he has family and he vowed at that moment he would protect her form everything in his power.

"Sensei," Rin started, "What are we going to do with her once we are all back in the village?"

"She will stay with me and enter the academy if she wants to. She said she had some training and if that red eyed man is out there then I need to get stronger too. I will not let my niece down no matter what. Hehehe it kinda feels weird to say that."

A little of the pain consuming the two students over the death of their teammate lessened a little over the heart warming site of their teacher and his new found family.
