Chapter 4: Enter Hidden Leaf's Number One Hyperactive Knucklehead... Hokage; Making Friends.


A loud alarm went off waking the tall blonde man from his sleep. He grabbed the alarm and threw against wall listening to it shatter before rolling back over to go back to sleep. The whisker shaped lines across his face bent from his smile of the woman he held in his arms.

"DADDY WAKE UP!" Came the voice from the woman. Naruto yelled and fell out of bed with his feet above his head. He looked up to see his young daughter, Kairi, giggling down at him. "Daddy you're funny."

Naruto looked up at his daughter and smiled. Her hair was blonde like his but was short like her mother's, she had his eyes. "Kairi what are you doing up so early?"

"Mommy said I needed to wake you up for breakfast!" Kairi yelled excitingly shoving her fist in the air. "Yeah breakfast! Believe it daddy!"

Naruto laughed to himself as he thought, 'Did I sound like that when I use to say that?'

Naruto and Kairi made their way down to the kitchen nook of their home after both getting dressed for the day. Sitting at the table was Naruto's oldest child, his son Hinto. Hinto had just graduated from the Ninja academy and was now a proud Genin of the Hidden Leaf Village.

"Good morning dad." Hinto said adjusting his black hair to keep its messy style yet also show off his new headband.

"Morning Hinto." Naruto replied grasping his son's shoulders giving them small squeezes. "How's my Genin son doing today?"

"Great," Hinto said softly, "Father, are you going to teach me the Flying Raijin Jutsu soon?"

"No." Naruto said smiling at his son. "I've told you Hinto that is just too complicated of a jutsu for you to learn right now. When you're older maybe I will."

"Yes father." Hinto reluctantly said staring at his younger sister who was jumping from one side of the table to the other. "Kairi sit down already you little twerp!"

"Make me you over grown manure pile!" Kairi shot back sticking her tongue out at her brother.

"Children please." Came a very soft and quiet voice from behind everyone. Hinata walked through the opened door and sat down four plates of pancakes for her family. "Hinto be nice to your sister. Kairi please sit down and eat."

"Yes mother." Both children said as they sat down and began to eat their breakfast.

"Hello beautiful." Naruto said embracing his wife giving her a loving kiss. "I have to admit something to you. I woke up next to beautiful, yet much younger, woman this morning."

Hinata blushed and giggled. "I think I'll let it past this time." She teased placing the Hokage Hat upon her husband's head. "Shikimaru sent word. They're here. They arrived last night."

Naruto sighed loud. "Gaara doesn't waste time when it comes to things like this. I only received word two days ago he was on his way."

"Is everything ok father?" Hinto asked twisting a kunai around his finger. "The Kazekage is supposed to arrive soon isn't he?"

"Yes." Naruto answered resting against the wall. "His village was attacked. But that's my concerns not yours son. You have to go to squad assignments today and meet your new sensei. Don't be late, go!" Hinto quickly said his goodbyes before rushing out of the Hokage home to the ninja school.

"Remember when we had to do that?" Hinata asked grasping Naruto's hand with in her own. Naruto just smiled as he remembered the prank he pulled on Kakashi Sensei his first day in Squad Seven.

"When can I start the academy?" Kairi asked her parents through a mouthful of pancakes.

"Next year sweetheart." Hinata answered as she whipped butter and syrup from her daughter's face. "I swear you look like me but act like your father."

"She should take that as a compliment." Came a husky voice from the doorway. Sasuke Uchiha walked in with his young son Susuke. Susuke looked like a miniature version of his father, except for the one pink stripe of hair that rested upon his face. "No one would dare wish his looks upon any children."

"Good morning to you to Sasuke." Naruto replied pulling on his Hokage robe. "Can I ask why the morning visit?"

"Shikimaru sent word." Sasuke answered grasping his former partners arm in greeting. "We must be going Naruto."

"Is lord Hokage too hard to say?" Naruto asked no one as he shook his head and pecked Hinata on the cheek before leaving with Kairi, Sasuke, and Susuke.


Kairi rushed around her father's office while Naruto and Sasuke discussed certain missions that were needing to be handed out to the new squads of genin. Shikimaru walked into the office yawning loud. By his feet stood a miniature version of himself. Ukito Naru was a stretching and yawning also as he walked over to Kairi and begun to play with her toys.

"What is this bring your child to work day?" Shikimaru asked as he saw Kairi and Susuke in the room also. "Ino made me bring Ukito."

"I like my children." Naruto said proudly smiling to his daughter who was yelling at Ukito for playing with her toys without asking. "They're entertaining."

"Sakura has been on my case about spending more time with Susuke." Sasuke said as he looked over the missions. "Besides," Susuke looked up at his father and smiled as he too was looking over some of the missions, "I like my child also."

"Maybe it's just you dad." Ukito yelled over his shoulder before yawning again.

"Ukito don't be a drag." Shikimaru said as he scratched the back of his head.

Ukito and Kairi started laughing loudly as Shikimaru and Naruto both began to silently laugh to themselves. Kairi was playing with a homemade doll as Ukito was watching his shadow trying to make it move when an elite squad ninja appeared in the room.

"Lord Hokage sir," The ninja said softly, "Lord Kazekage is here to see you."

"Thank you." Naruto sighed as the ninja disappeared. He looked to Sasuke, who nodded. "Shikimaru we have a very sensitive issue here. If Gaara asks what I suspect him to ask then we're be putting a young boy in a very tough situation.

"I'm aware Naruto." Shikimaru said in a matter of fact tone. "Gaara still gives me the creeps."

"Is that so Advisor Naru?" Came a very soft and deadly voice from behind them. "I never intended to give anyone the creeps." Gaara said as he and Shinjin walked towards the desk.

Shinjin looked at the other three children from under the hood of his jacket. He then hid behind his uncle and watched as Kairi was stalking towards him, smiling as she was trying to peak under his hood. Ukito was shaking his head in embarrassment as Kairi stalked low to the ground. Susuke just turned his nose up to the boy and went back to his father's side and stared down Gaara.

"Uchiha." Gaara said staring down his once fierce opponent.

"Gaara." Sasuke said holding his arm in front of his son. "Is that him? The Yamamoto boy?"

"Shinjin." Shinjin said coldly staring up at the blue haired man. "My name is Shinjin Yamamoto. Son of the great Inchin Yamamoto."

"My father didn't ask for family history." Susuke said just as coldly glaring at Shinjin.

Shinjin stepped out from behind his uncle and began to stare down Susuke. "Big talk for a little kid."

"I'm seven." Susuke said getting angry. "Means I'm older then you, brat!"

"Maybe." Shinjin said as he untied the lion skin pouch at his side. "Let's see who's more mature though you li..."

"Enough Shinjin." Gaara said placing his hand on the young boys shoulder. "Why not you go play with the other children as me and the Hokage speak?" He gave Shinjin a cold stare that snapped Shinjin to their earlier conversation.


_Flash Back_

Shinjin and Gaara were riding in the carriage as they approached the large wall of the Hidden Leaf Village. Gaara was going over some papers he was given earlier that day by one of his scouts while Shinjin was making the black sand twirl around his finger in an almost hypnotic way.

"You know you'll have to keep your Clan a secret, don't you?" Gaara asked never looking up at his young nephew.

"Yes Lord Kazekage."

"Do you know why?"

"If anyone found out a member of the black sand nomads were still alive they'd hunt me down. Luckily for us no one outside the village knew that our name Clan name was Yamamoto." Shinjin answered for what seemed the one hundredth time that day. "I know Uncle Gaara. We've been over it already."

Gaara smiled as Shinjin kept twirling the black sand around his finger causing more of it to seep from the large chest the boy had sitting next to him.

"Is that all of it?" Gaara asked motioning his head towards the chest.

"Yes." Shinjin said making the black sand return to the chest. "All of the Black Sand from my Clan." Shinjin looked at the chest and frowned. Images of his mother and father flooded his head as he looked at the chest.

_Flash Back End_


"But Lord Kazekage," Shinjin said staring up at his uncle, who shot him a cold stare, "Yes sir." Shinjin walked over to Kairi and Ukito and gave them a small bow.

"Alright!" Kairi yelled shoving one of her fist into the air. "Come on Ukito lets show hood boy our special play area!"

"Ugh!" Ukito yelled as he and Shinjin were dragged out the window by Kairi and started climbing up to the top of Hokage tower. "Can't we just go to the playground like normal kids for once?"

Kairi was standing atop the large tower and stared at the two boys climbing up behind her. "Who said we were normal?" Shinjin helped Ukito up who nodded at him and went over to Kairi, who was setting up a large flag pole. "Ever play "Safe House" hood boy?"

Shinjin looked around and stared up at the large pole. "My name is Shinjin." He said holding out his hand to Kairi. "Pleasure to meet you. Miss?"

"Kairi." Ukito answered for the young blonde haired girl who was staring at the hooded boy in front of her. "Kairi Uzumaki, the daughter of the Hokage."

Shinjin lowered his hand and bowed low. "I'm sorry miss. I wasn't aware."

"Ukito!" Kairi yelled loud. "Cant anyone meet me without going directly to that?" She asked throwing her hand out towards the bowing hooded boy.

"Yes." Shinjin answered smiling as he grabbed her hand and shook it before leaping over her and grasping the flag pole. "I have played 'Safe House' before."

Kairi and Ukito both smiled as the three began to run around and play the modified version of tag. Ukito was it and was chasing after Kairi until Shinjin helped her reach the flag pole. After their time limit was up, they both ran off and Ukito rushed after them again. Ukito finally tagged Shinjin accidently causing his hood to fall off over his head revealing the bright red hair underneath it. Ukito slowed for a short second before laughing and taking off again. Kairi was taunting Shinjin by sticking out her tongue and pulling down on her eye.

Shinjin bit the tip of his finger and rubbed the blood by the base of the flag pole before he rushed after the two. Ukito and Kairi were both laughing as they dodged Shinjin's tags and made their way towards the flag pole again.

Shinjin whispered softly, "Yamamoto Technique Three: Earth Portal Jutsu." Shinjin rubbed his still bleeding finger on the ground and sunk into the ground below him. He rose feet first from the blood he had whipped at the base of the flag pole and rolled to land on his feet. Seeing the red haired boy rise from the ground the way he did took both Ukito and Kairi by surprise. Taking advantage of their shocked state, Shinjin reached over and tagged Kairi. "You're it!"

Ukito looked to Kairi and laughed loud. "He sure got you huh Kairi?"

"How'd you do that?" She asked ignoring the game. "How can someone so young use such a powerful jutsu?"

Shinjin laughed and rested his left arm behind his head and shrugged with his right arm. "Guess I'm just good like that."

Gaara had been watching from the side of the rooftop with Naruto as the three children played. He noticed that Shinjin looked exactly like his father with his left arm resting behind his head and his right arm by his side. Had he received the Yamamoto black hair he'd be the splitting image of Inchin.

"Lord Kazekage!" Shinjin shouted waving his arm towards Gaara and Naruto. "Would you and the Lord Hokage like to play also?"

"Oh sorry kids." Naruto said sadly. "It looks like fun but I have some important issues to take care of." He looked to his old friend standing next to him. "Gaara I believe you should tell him, I'll set everything up. Come on Kairi." Naruto said waving his daughter to come next to him. "You have to go home now, and Ukito you're father wants you downstairs."

Ukito and Kairi followed behind The Hokage as Gaara and Shinjin sat atop the tower and looked up at the great Hokage Monument. Shinjin noticed the large stone face of the former Hokages and smiled. The five great stone faces over looked the village keeping it safe.

"How come back home we don't have one of those?" Shinjin asked motioning towards the stone faces.

"Do you like looking at it?" Gaara asked.

"It's pretty." Shinjin admitted. "But I miss the desert Uncle. I want to go home."

Gaara took a deep breath and looked to his little nephew. "I'm afraid I can't allow that Shinjin." Shinjin looked to Gaara with wide eyes. "Being the Last Yamamoto clan member I can't let you stay at the village. It's not safe for you there. But here," Gaara continued waving out his arm towards the Hidden Leaf Village, "Is safe for you Shinjin."

"But..." Shinjin tried to argue but he was stopped as tears began to swell his eyes. "I want to go home!" He finally was able to cry out. "I want to be with you and Uncle Kankuro and be there when mommy wakes up!"

"Shinjin I know this difficult." Gaara said staring out over the village. "But it's what is best. One day you will understand that."


The day came when Gaara was set to leave the village alone. Shinjin walked with his uncle out of the small apartment he was set to live in now. Naruto and Shikimaru arrived to see Gaara out of the village and had brought Ukito and Kairi along with them.

"Be strong Shinjin." Gaara said grasping his nephew's shoulders. "These people will take care of you and keep you safe."

"Yes Lord Kazekage." Shinjin said never lifting his head up from the ground.

"I will write." Gaara assured him. "I promise you nephew." He whispered causing Shinjin to look up at him.

"Thank you Uncle." Shinjin whispered back before bowing his head low. He wanted to give his uncle a hug goodbye, but remembered that no one outside his village knew he was the great Kazekage's nephew.

Gaara bowed to his nephew and stepped up into the carriage. "Remember Naruto Uzumaki," Gaara said loudly towards the Hokage, "You gave me your word you would watch after this boy."

"I always keep my word, Gaara of the Sand." Naruto said back lowering his Hokage hat in a sign of respect towards the other kage. Gaara lowered his hat in return and closed the door of the carriage. Shinjin stood and watched the carriage disappear into the distance. Kairi walked over to him and took his hand in her own.

"You can play with me and Ukito as much as you want." She said smiling at the red haired boy. "It's usually just the two of us."

"We would enjoy a third in the games we play." Ukito said smiling as he held out his hand. "I'm Ukito Naru by the way. We weren't introduced the other day."

Shinjin shook the young boy's hand and smiled at his two new friends. "I'm Shinjin Yamamoto." He said looking towards where the carriage had disappeared. "I think maybe I'll it like here."


Don't you love a happy ending? I know I do! Review and stay tuned and see what kind of trouble these three kids will get into!
