So someone once asked me why I don't write a story for my namesake, The Baz. Let me explain it to you all, the first thing you've all got to understand is that I've been 'The Baz' long before I ever found this site let alone started writing. Back in 2007 my older brother and I were attempting to thing up a gamertag for new account. He and I to this day argue over who came up with the idea but we do agree on where we got the idea. In and episode of Futurama Bender walked up to Fri and Fri said 'Yo Bazender what up' and thats how it was born. The account was originally my brothers but over the years I've made it mine and have become known as Baz to many of my buddy. So that's why I don't write a Shovel Knight or Drop Kick fanfic, to be honest I had no idea they had characters call Baz until very recently. Anyway that's enough talking, enjoy.

Minato sat quietly at the table of criminals awaiting the final person to arrive, so far they were nearly half an hour late. Most of the people present, the red headed bull faunus in particular, were nearly fuming at the tardiness. Minato on the other hand didn't really mind, it somewhat reminded him of Obito when he was still his student, though something told him that the one they were waiting for wasn't late because he was helping an old lady carry her groceries. What was however getting on his nerves were the glances the bull faunus kept tossing at him.

"Good day everyone, sorry I'm late but it takes a while to look this good." Roman declared as he entered the warehouse. The building was filled to the roof with supply crates and sitting at the center was a large round wooden table where everyone sat. "So, what did I miss?"

"Nothing, we've been waiting for you to arrive to start." Cinder responded with a small but noticeable amount of venom in her words.

"I'm surprised you actually showed up." Mercury laughed. "I heard how bummed you got when blondy over there took your spot as Vale's most wanted, and he did it in one night to, that's gotta sting."

Minato stood to his feet and gave a small bow, even if he hated the fact that he was now a criminal he might as well maintain a sense of humor about it all. "Your too kind."

"Oh can it, both of you." Roman growled sitting down with a frown.

"Enough." Cinder spoke up bringing about silence. "While I'm sure we're all very impressed by Minato's performance and newly gained fame, we do have business to take care of." Turning to look at the orange haired thief she continued. "Roman, how's the dust collection going?"

"Far better than we'd hoped, we've got every dust dealer in the kingdom watching their backs. I also just got word of a massive Schnee company shipment coming into port in about two weeks, if I can nab even a quarter of it then we'll be sitting on more dust than we could ever use." Roman ashed his cigar as he explained all this to the group. "Though it should go without saying that I'm gonna need quite a bit of man power to pull this off, not to mention some muscle to take care of any security. I'd say twenty, maybe twenty five guys should be enough."

Cinder nodded. "Adam, you will accompany Roman along with twenty five of your White Fang members. Is this agreeable with you?" Cinder asked the bull faunus knowing how much he hated humans and working along side them.

"If our target is the SDC then you have my support." Adam nodded though didn't sound very happy about it.

"I'm sorry, but can I ask a question?" Minato raised his hand earning everyone's attention.

Cinder didn't appear upset about the ninja speaking out of turn but there was an almost unnoticeable twitch of her eye when he did. "Something to add Minato?"

"Yeah, why are we all here for this?" He asked earning confused looks from most. "We're criminals conspiring to commit a large number of crimes and we're all talking about our jobs in front of each other. Doing business like this is beyond novice, all it would take is one of us getting captured and tortured for everything to be compromised. I don't suppose any of you have any anti-torture training do you?" Nobody said anything and instead just stared at him with wide eyes. "Instead of this it would be far safer to give out orders separately so that nobody knows more than a small bit of the plans, is this your first time leading a major operation like this?" He asked Cinder.

The room was deathly still as everybody, minus Minato and Adam, who just smirked, kept looking back and forth between the shinobi and demi-maiden. Her eyes were narrowed at the blonde and were glowing slightly as heat began emanating from her body. "If that's how you feel Minato, maybe it would be best if you left and I'll send you your task privately." Her voice was dripping with disdain for the boy, there were few things she hated more than being second guess in front of other and for Minato to do so in such a way left her livid.

Minato stood from his seat with a grin, messing with people had always been Kushina's thing when they were younger but after they began dating it started to rub off on him a bit as well. "Fine I get it, you know my contact info. But in the future I'd work on taking criticism from others a little better. Nobodies gonna want to work with someone who flips out over small stu-" He was cut off as a large ball of fire crashed into the ground where Minato stood, everybody else had jumped away from the table.

Cinder stared at the scorch spot on the ground as fire rose from her hands. "Stuff." A voice spoke from behind her causing her to spin around to see a still smiling Minato standing several feet away looking completely untouched by her fire. "Also I can't work this Saturday so keep that in mind when you send me my job, later." He gave a wave before disappearing in a flash of yellow.

"I HATE that man." Cinder growled.

Later

"And then I left." Minato finished from his spot on the twins couch, the two currently going about getting ready for their shift at the club.

"That kinda reminds me of when we first introduced you to Junior." Melanie smiled as she applied her make up.

"Aren't you worried that you might have lost your job?" Miltiades asked taking a seat next to the blonde, she leaned onto his shoulder as they spoke.

"Nah, to be honest I don't really even need the job anymore. I bought that land and have already contacted the SDC, their sending out a representative next month. Aside from that I've still got nearly two million lien in the bank, I'm set money wise for quite a while." Minato explained to the two, most people wouldn't talk so openly about their finances with others but Minato could careless. To him money was merely a means to eat and live without having to steal, making it wasn't difficult. "I'm actually considering retirement, once I sell this land I'll be set for life. Maybe I'll do some traveling."

"Retiring at eighteen, that's a little young don't you think." Mel took a seat at his other side leaning on him just like her twin.

"I'm twenty five actually." He surprised the two. "I know I don't look it but I am. I'm twenty five, have fought in two wars, was named the leader of my village, got married, had a kid, and now here I am. I think retirement sounds pretty good."

"YOU HAVE A CHILD!?"
"YOU'RE MARRIED!?" The two shouted jumping up and staring wide eyed at the former hokage.

Minato chuckled. "It's a long story that I doubt you'd ever believe, but yes. My wife Kushina died shortly after my son Naruto was born, and my son is somewhere far away, somewhere I doubt I'll be able to get to. I'm not really very worried though, Naruto is stronger than me and has good friends beside him." Minato spoke with a smile that held both pride and pain.

The two girls were speechless, this was the most Minato had ever divulged about himself. "Kushina and Naruto, their on that list you have tattooed on your back. The list of people you said you failed." Mel sat back down with a sad look on her face.

"So all those times we tried to get with you and you refused, was it because of her?" Mil spoke with clear guilt in her voice while taking a seat as well.

Minato looked at the two girls on either side of him and slung his arms over their shoulders with one of his smiles. "Partly yes, I still love Kushina with every fiber of my being. She was amazing in every way possible, and I know that she'd want me to move on and not just spend the rest of my life alone mourning her. So one day I might be open to finding someone special again, but for now it's all still fresh." Minato explained to the two who leaned in to his embrace.

"What about someone's?" Mel asked regaining her smile while also causing Mil to blush at the question.

Minato let out a loud laugh. "Who knows, maybe we could give it a shot, but you might have to wait for me a bit. Are you okay with that?" He asked the two girls who shared a look.

After a few seconds the two nodded. "We can wait."

Minato nodded as well with a wide smile. "Junior's probably waiting on us, let's go." Before the two could reply there was a bright flash of light and instead of sitting on the couch in their apartment they were now on the VIP couch at the club, though neither really cared about that. Instead the two were now hunched over holding their stomachs trying not to empty them onto the floor all while moans of agony escaped their mouths. "Woops, I forgot how rough that is on first timers. My bad." Minato scratched the back of his head with a sheepish smile.

"Now come at me!" Mikoto shouted causing the four members of team RWBY to dash towards her, raising her serrated sword she prepared herself. Weiss was the first to reach her and sent a flurry of thrusts at her only for the Uchiha to either dodge or swat the attacks away.

Ducking suddenly a barrage of bullets flew over Mikoto's head and slammed into Weiss stunning the girl just long enough for the ninja to sweep her feet out from under her and grab her shirt, looking toward Ruby who had been shooting Mikoto flung the heiress through the air towards her daughter. In a instant she spun on her heels and blocked a downward swing from Blake and countered by sending a powerful kick into the girls gut, she was momentarily surprised however when the girl disappeared and reappeared next to her aiming another swing for her chest.

"Hey mom, your open!" Mikoto heard Yang shout from her side.

The shinobi smiled before her eyes shifted to red with black tomoes, then before either girl could register what happened, Yang and Blake were both sent flying from the ring. "Okay, I think that's enough for now girls." Mikoto spoke up as she smiled and patted herself of any dust. "You two have gotten a lot better since we last sparred, but you still need to communicate more, you especially Ruby." The Uchiha walked over to her youngest daughter. "Friendly fire like that could cause serious issues in a real fight, and before you get on her, you should always check your teams positions before charging in Weiss."

Ruby pouted on the ground where she sat cross legged. "Yes mom."

"And Yang." Mikoto turned on her oldest daughter. "I've told you a million times, don't shout a taunt at an enemy when performing a sneak attack. It completely defeats the purpose to warn the enemy. You might have had me had you not shouted." Mikoto scolded the older of the two sisters, then turning to Blake, Mikoto smiled. "You Blake, did the best out of everyone here. Your attack was precise and well timed and your distraction with your semblance was very effective. I'm glad that my daughters have someone like you looking out for them."

Blake blushed slightly at the praise. "Dad always says to have a one liner ready during an attack though." Yang called out to her step mother.

Mikoto let out a sigh and shook her head. "And you wonder why he's never beaten me in a spar."

"What about that one time he got you on the ground and you had to cheat to win?" Ruby asked standing up.

"That wasn't cheating, I just used your fathers weakness against him. He knocked me down and all I had to do was fake a few tears and he completely let his guard down, Tai is to sweet to hit a crying girl so I used that against him. I love that man but sometimes he's to easy to predict." Mikoto giggled at the memory, Tai had been mad about that for weeks afterwards.

Mikoto's thought were interrupted when her scroll rang. "Who is it?" Yang asked finally making it over from where she'd landed.

"Ozpin want's to see me, I'll see you girls later. Love you." Mikoto gave both a peck on the cheek before taking off towards the exit.

On the screen of her scroll was a very short and simple text from the headmaster. 'We found him.'

I feel that's a natural stopping point. Leave me a review and tell me what you think. LATER.
