The Chronicles of Naruto Namikaze

Author's Note: *sighs* I hate to say this, but, sorry I'm late again. I was attending the ASEAN SEOM meeting simulation competition. I was also gone for a family trip as this month is a school holiday. By the way, I'm looking forward for a Beta writer or reader that may want to help me in the writing. I got several critics in the review that made me reconsider about writing this alone or get the help since I'm a new author here and would like to get tutorials from the seniors, lol^^. There was also a mistake I did when I wrote the first chapter. What I meant was, the 5 year old boy was his flashback (so it means that the story started in his age of twelve), so it should be not obvious if he became a teen 4 years later. Anyway, please enjoy and don't forget to R&R!

P.S.: Hektols and spriterx are my favourite writer^^

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and all his friends. Lol

------------------------------------------------The Call from the Past------------------------------------------------------------

The frog ran through the forest to reach a small house what look like an abandoned building. Several minutes later, the small frog reached its destination. A young man with a black trench coat and a hood was wandering out the window when he sensed something is coming.

"Minato-san had wished to see you."

The young man perked up from his hood.

"Where's him?" asked him.

"He's now in the Hokage Tower."

'So, he finally decided to tell them about my existence…' thought Itachi.

"I'll be right there as quick as possible."

The frog then disappeared in a cloud puff of smoke. Itachi picked his dual swords and started to jump branch to branch. He made his way to the entrance gate and saw the word written in Kanji "Fire". He greeted Kotetsu and Izumo who were in charge of the patrol. After asking some of their questions and told them his reason in meeting the Hokage, they let them in.

On his way, he met with some of the villagers looked at him with wide eyes.

'What's wrong with them?' thought Itachi, feeling uneasy at their stares.

Finally he made his way to the Hokage Tower. He saw a raven haired lady carrying a bundle of notes walking in a hurry.

"Excuse me, young lady. Would you mind telling me where the Hokage is?" he asked politely.

"Huh? Who are you?" Shizune asked although he had the feeling like she has ever meet this guy before.

"If you were by the Hokage's sides, then you should have heard of me. I was summoned by Minato-san, if I'm not mistaken."

"Hmm… alright then. Wait here, I'll report the Hokage of your appearance."

"Thank you."

Itachi then waited outside and glanced at the wall, wondering why it took so long to get the permission. Finally the raven haired young lady approached him and signaled him to enter. Itachi walked in and sees a blonde woman with a green coat looked at him. There he also saw the young lady stood firmly next to her and he saw Minato.

"I'm here, Minato san. Oh, good afternoon, Hokage-sama."

"Good afternoon, Itachi…"

"No need to be so formal, Hokage-sama. I'm just a shinobi after all," he answered.

"Very well then. It's Itachi, huh? Do you mind telling us your whereabouts in the last 16 years?" asked Tsunade.

"I'm afraid I can't, Hokage-sama. It'll take forever to me to explain it to you.." The young man bowed as he answered the question.

"I see. We'll work on finding your whereabouts later. Now I would like to ask. How come did you come and save Minato 16 years ago? According to the files I've been through, you were at a mission given by Danzo."

"Hai. 16 years ago, I happened to be in the age of 14 years old. It's true that I was given a mission by Danzo but I finished it earlier. Then I have a kind of bad feeling so I just rushed in, besides there were no guards at the front gate. Later, I found Minato-san was on the ground, half-dead. Then I just decided to bring him with me and treat him to go back to full health, that's all. I chose to left Konoha because I think the ANBUs will come."

Tsunade sighed. This would take forever to her to resolve his problem. She looked to Minato, wishing him to have another question, but said man shrugged. She sighed again.

"Very well, Itachi. As you are now a stranger to the village, I order you not to wander around the village as free as the other villagers unless, Minato watches over you. Do you guys get it?"

"Hai, Hokage-sama!"

"Dismiss!"

Then both Minato and Itachi walked out that room and head to Naruto's apartment. It was still as messy as before.

"Hey, Itachi, lend me your ears. I have an idea."

Itachi didn't answer, but he moved his head so Minato could speak his secret plan. Itachi smiled and nodded.

-------------Meanwhile, in other side of Konoha-----------

"Wow, Sakura-chan! I don't know if you like flowers this much!" exclaimed a happy blond teen.

Sakura smiled and blushes a little. They were there until the blond called it a day and walked the girl home.

"Thank you for your time, Naruto. Please be careful on the way!"

Said teen just smiled ear-to-ear and started to walk home. On his way home, the rain started to pour down from the cloud skies.

'Crap! This is my last cloth of the week! I shall head back home soon!' he cursed under his laboring breath.

He reached his apartment in about 5 minutes later and spared his ninja gears.

"I'm home!" he called.

Nobody answered him. He tried once again, but it was still as silent as a graveyard. There were also some changes. No clothes on the floor, no empty Ramen cups on the table and there was a new bed. However, he started to panic if someone broke into his house and kidnapped his long lost father.

"Dad?" he called.

Suddenly, Minato and Itachi jumped in front of him.

"Surprise!" they exclaimed as both of them handed him a bowl of Ramen.

"Hey, where were you dad? I thought… I would be left again…"

Minato started to feel guilty at his own idea.

"I'm sorry, Naruto. I didn't mean to make you feel that."

"We just want to surprise you," said another voice.

Then, Naruto realized something. There was another stranger with a hood that covered his eyes. The said man brought a dual sword on his back and he wore a long trench black coat. Naruto could tell that he's also a ninja. But who? He had never seen an image like that.

'Hey, Kyuubi? Isn't that Itachi? How come did he come here?'

'I don't know. I have never heard about his appearance since 16 years ago. I don't think he's a threat to both of you.'

'What makes you think that?'

'Nothing, just a beast's instinct.'

Naruto growled at Kyuubi before he focused back to Itachi.

"It's the second time we meet, Naruto-san."

Minato then left the room to let them have boys talk.

"So, why are you here? Where's Sasuke?" asked Naruto.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, But there's no need for you to go and search him again. Back then, he's a missing nin." Itachi answered.

"Hey, hey! I know that he's a missing-nin but we are a friend! "

"Such a noisy as always," he smirked.

Naruto pouted. Itachi sat still then he went out of the room and see if there's anything he could help Minato with. After several time passed by, all three of them sat around the dining table and have a talk about Naruto's life before Minato's coming. Hearing his son's past life story made Minato radiated such killing intent to the villagers. Itachi gave him a blank look which was a lie spoke of. He felt sorry for the boy's hard life and it just reminded him to Sasuke.

"Tou-san, it's over. You're here right now with me and I'm happy. You don't have to go to the villagers and clean them up in a flash."

"It's not what you think, Naruto. Those bastard villagers need to learn how to respect someone's wish."

"Minato-sama, I know it's not my place to talk like this. But wouldn't it be better if you just go to Tsunade-sama's office and ask for their punishment?" asked Itachi.

"Asking the Hokage to go get all of the villagers punished is not going to give me any satisfaction. It was not as a Hokage I made a wish like that, but as a father who wanted his son to be treated just like other child, even as a hero."

Naruto felt a slight proud of himself, hearing his father declared this. Itachi smiled. Minato's face looked sad. He was thinking that Naruto would choose to go outside Konoha and move to other village. He had never thought that his son would be so forgiving. Minato then remembered Kushina of being so forgiving to the ones who had destroyed her village and her family. Minato smiled in the end which made Naruto confuse.
