(A/N: Okay, I dunno why, but I feel the need to give character descriptions.)

Here they are:

Naruto: 16 years old. She has long golden hair that reaches all the way to her back. Has a more 'spunky' attitude, I guess. Has the very most, tiniest, minuscule, smallest crush on Minato (as for now). If you've been reading this fic throughly, the crush's there (you might not even see it, actually). She wears a more controlled amount of orange.

Minato: 19 years old. Has a small crush on Naruto. Same as time cannon.

Obito, Rin, and Kakashi: 11 years old. Same as time cannon.

Recap:

Naruto smiled again,"Yeah! And I though about you wanting to be the Hoka-thingy. You have to protect and keep the resident in Konoha safe right? Well, just think that the plants are the people you have to protect."

Minato laughed amusedly at her simple logic,"You're funny, you know that?"

Naruto said,"I guess I am."

After some time after the two finished their dinner, Naruto was fast asleep on the table. Minato sighed with a smile on his face,"You can sleep just about anywhere, can you?", he said while thinking about the time she slept on the kitchen floor.

Carrying her to her bedroom, Minato gently placed her on her bed. After some time of thinking, Minato leaned down and hesitantly kissed Naruto's forehead. "Sweet dreams, Naru."

While still half asleep, Naruto groggily said,"Sweet dreams Sweetie-Mina."

Startled by the voice, Minato smiled as returned the words again,"Sweet dreams Sweetie-Naru."


"Wakey, wakey, Sleepy Head!", Minato shouted out as he poked on Naruto's face.

"Shut up you butt licker.", she said, trying to find Minato's face to push it. Minato laughed as he removed her blanket from her hands. Naruto was wide awake now, glaring holes on Minato's face.

Minato chuckled,"Not a morning person, I see?"

Naruto just ignored him and went into her bathroom down the hall.

After twenty minuets, Naruto was finally finished and grinning happily as she went to the kitchen. Minato looked disbelievingly to her,'Morning person?'

Naruto got her apron and got the pancake mix ready. This time, she knew what to do. Minato hummed as he stared at her back as she cooked.

Naruto stopped for a minuet when she felt eyes on her. Turning her head around, Naruto saw Minato smiling at her. "What are you doing?"

Minato waved,"Hmm, I'm looking at the pancakes."

Naruto shook her head,"But you can't see the pancakes from behind me."

Minato scratched his cheek and blushed a little,"Haha, I guess I can't."

Naruto rolled her eyes and continued to cook. Minato laughed a little to himself and continued to read his paper. When Naruto was done, she prepared the dishes and laid them down to Minato and her. Minato smiled,"Wow! They even have little chocolate chips in them!"

Naruto laughed,"Yeah! I saw this recipe in the cookbook and I had to try it! It looked so good."

Minato took a bite,"Wow, these are really good." Naruto smiled at his compliment.

After their breakfast, Minato had more time left before meeting up with his team. "Hey, Naru? What are you going to do today?"

Naruto looked at Minato,"Hmm, I dunno. Maybe go out?"

'Go out?', Minato though dangerously. He narrowed his eyes and slowly said,"With who?"

Naruto tipped her head to the side,"No one. Why?"

Minato had a relieved look on his face,"Nothing. Anyways, if you don't have anything else to do, why don't you come with me to team practice?"

Naruto grinned,"Really!?"

Minato nodded his head,"Really-really."

"What are you waiting for then?! Let's go!", Naruto said excitedly.

Minato smirked and whispered,"Hirashin.", in which teleporting to his front door. Naruto looked around confusedly for Minato until she heard,"What are you waiting for then?! Let's go!"

Growling out, Naruto cursed and ran to where Minato was.


Rin and Kakashi were perched on the red bridge railings, waiting for their sensei and Obito. It was almost time for team practice, but neither Rin nor Kakashi had seen any signs of Minato or Obito.

Sighing to herself, Rin slumped backwards on the railings. Lazily, she stretched and turned around to see what caught her attention. She smiled widely and exclaimed,"Naru! What are you doing here?"

Minato had a pouty look on his face,"What, I don't get a hello?"

Rin smiled and greeted Minato. Naruto grinned,"Minato said I could come today for team practice."

Rin nodded,"What are you gonna do then?"

Naruto shrugged and looked at Minato for an answer. He said,"Well, I was thinking about seeing your abilities. I have a sure hunch that you were or are a konoichi."

Naruto looked up to him,"Really? Than what are you gonna teach me?"

Minato said,"Just do what my students are going to do. We're gonna have a sparring day today."

Obito perked his ears,"Really, Sensei?" He groaned when he saw Naruto.

Rin went over to him and whispered in his right ear,"If I see that you're not gonna be at least a bit nicer to Naru, then you'll be taught how to by me.", she said dangerously. Obito screeched a bit and then nodded rapidly.

Naruto turned around to Obito and glared at him. Obito tried not to glare back, going as far as to saying,"He-hello, Naruto-san. It's a ple-pleasure meeting you today."

Naruto narrowed her eyes even farther,"What are you planning, Little Boy?"

Obito bit his tongue lightly to keep from giving a comeback. He just replied,"Nothing, Naruto-san. I just an genuinely pleased to see you today."

"Sure.", Naruto turned around back at Minato.

Rin smiled to Obito, causing him to blush a little. "Good job, Obito!"

"Thanks, Rin-chan!", he grinned with his arms on the back of his neck.

"Naru, you gotta be a bit more nicer to Obito.", Minato said as he sighed. Naruto shook him off with a pout. Minato turned to his students,"Okay, guys. Today, we're having a sparring day!"

Obito smiled,"Hehe, today, I'll beat your butt, Kaka-Teme."

Kakashi didn't even look at Obito while saying,"Sure you will, Deadlast."

Obito growled and stomped toward him, only to be stopped by Minato. "Don't do anything brash, Obito. We are having a friendly spar today. Got it?" He looked at Kakashi,"Kakashi, be more nicer to Obito."

Kakashi and Obito sighed,"Fine, Sensei."

Minato nodded,"Thank you, Obito and Kakashi. Also everyone, today, Naru is going to join us during our spar."

Naruto spluttered,"What?! I thought you told me to learn?" Obito snickered, but stopped when Rin have him a deathly glare.

Melting under the deadly heat, Obito was trying to catch his breath."Bu-but!"

"Just go with your bare instinct, Naru.", Minato thought for a moment after,"And if you win all three spars from them, then I'll treat to an all expense free trip to Ichiraku Ramen. What do you say?"

Naruto's eyes gleamed as she agreed happily to the agreement. Minato then explained,"Okay, rules are that you all can't inflict an attack meant for a fatal injury. Other than that, let's go have a friendly spar." He looked at the opponents,"Okay, Rin and Naru first."

Rin walked to the battle area whilst Naruto looked uneasy. "Good luck, Naru."

"You too, Rin-chan. Oh, and don't go easy on me."

"Begin!", Minato shouted out.

Rin nodded and started the first move as a somersault kick. Surprisingly, Naruto blocked it with one hand. As Naruto grabbed Rin's leg, she threw her to the side. Gliding gracefully towards Rin, Naruto took out a kunai and held it to her throat.

Rin frowned, shellshocked and terrified at the silent movements Naruto did to go up to her. She didn't see it coming until Naruto had already defeated her. Rin swallowed deeply,'Why does it feel more different than a normal spar?', she thought.

Rin shut her mouth. The way she and Naruto had sparred, even though it was short, felt almost real. It was like Naru was serious.

Naruto looked at Rin with widened eyes,"I-I. I don't know what had gotten in me. It felt so natural.", she said, using her hand to grasp on to the kunai's bladed section to cover up the weapon.

Rin gasped,"N-Naru! Your hand!"

Naruto looked at her hand,"Freak.", she wiped away the blood with her other hand. Rin bit her lip and took out her medic kit.

"Naru, whenever you train with us, you would always get hurt for some reason.", Rin lectured.

Naruto sighed,"I dunno what's wrong with me today.", she looked at Rin then at Minato,"Who's gonna battle me now, dattebayo?"

Minato shook his head,"Nope, Naru, go over to that tree and rest. It'll help heal your wounds." Naruto was about to shout out, but Minato interrupted,"No buts, Naru. Go do as I say now."

Naruto and Obito both snickered,"Hahaha! No BUTTS?" They looked at each other and actually started to laugh together while putting their arm around each's shoulder.

Minato sighed wearily while muttering thunder his breath,"I swear. They're the same people by personality.", he shook his head while saying aloud,"Naru. Tree, now. Team, let's get on with our sparring."

Naruto pouted and stuck out her tongue to Minato. Minato just smiled to her and pointed to the tree. She growled as she trudged to the shady tree. Slouching on the tree, Naruto closed her eyes for a second, then falling to a slight rest.

Flashback

"You alright, Scaredy Cat?", Sasuke said to Naruto.

Naruto was about to shout back to him until Kakashi interrupted her. "Save it for later, Naruto. Their claws were soaked in poison. We have to remover it quickly. we must open the wound and release the poisoned blood from your body. Don't move too much or the poison'll spread."

Kakashi then turned to Tazuna,"Tazuna, I need to talk to you." Tazuna looked frightened, but complied with Kakashi's request. "These ninja are bound to get back to fighting, Tazuna-san.", Kakashi said looking at the Demon Brothers.

He continued,"I think it's safe to say that this mission is now at least a B-ranked. It was supposed to be a simple escort mission, but surely, if you said ninjas were after you, then this would've probably be more expensive than a simple B-ranked."

Tazuna knitted his eyebrows together, spilling out his confession. Kakashi shook his head,"This can't do. Naruto needs medical attention right now; we need to head back to the village."

Everyone then widened their eyes when they saw Naruto. Sakura shouted to Naruto,"Naruto, what are you doing?!"

Naruto had a smirk on her face,"I'll protect the old man. We're continuing this mission.", she said as her left hand started to bleed.

End Flashback

Naruto woke up in cold sweat, thinking about the vivid dream she just had. Panting, she looked at her surroundings and shook her head. Her head felt as if a tornado had been hit on it.

She felt the beat of her heart behind her skin while thinking,'What was that just now? Why is it-' She then widened her eyes in shock while muttering to herself,"Sasuke-Teme, Sakura-chan, Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari, Konohamaru, Udon, Moegi, Iruka-sensei, Old Man Hokage, Kakashi-sensei-" She stopped herself from speaking.

Naruto looked over to the team and looked at the silver haired ninja. She bit her lip from saying his name while looking at her hands while remembering the other memories she had.

Sweat beaded from her face, going down to her chin. She ran to the lake, looking at her reflection while splashing water on her face to cool down. Minato took sight of Naruto and ran towards her, his students did the same. Minato asked her,"Naru, what's wrong?"

Naruto looked at him,"Can-can I just go home for now?" She held her eyes on Kakashi, who also took notice.

Minato and his students looked surprised,"Okay then, Naru. I'll see you at home later."

She smiled wearily to him and apologized to everyone as she walked towards the path. Rin was about to open her mouth until Minato said,"Okay everyone, let's get back to training."


After training with his team, Minato was called up to the Hokage's office. Going inside, the old Sarutobi had a serious look on his face.

"Minato, come and sit down here, please.", Hiruzen said.

Minato nodded and asked him,"Hokage-sama, what has happened?"

Hiruzen answered,"It's about Naruto-san. Remember when you came here last time and asked about the metal masks and the wooden dogs?" Minato nodded,"I think I have an explanation for that."

"Yesterday, I was looking through the Hokage library until I came across this ancient scroll.", Hiruzen gave Minato the old scroll. Minato began to analyze it. Hiruzen continued,"I was looking through the scroll and compared your descriptions and this jutsu's description. They had matched—unless Naruto-san says so—but anyways, this is Wood Release: Foo Dog Heads."

Minato frowned,"Mokuton? Isn't this Kekkei Genkai extinct?"

Hiruzen said,"That's what I thought too, but this came up. The most unusual thing about this Jutsu is what it does. It seems that the Foo Dogs job is to absorb the Tailed Beasts chakra. The picture in the bottoms show the number of Foo Dogs surrounding the user in a circle. The user also has the character of Sit on their hand. this is exactly how Naruto described her memory or dream."

Minato's frown grew even deeper,"She said she was training at the memory. But...why would she need someone around to absorb Tailed Beast chakra?"

(A/N: Okay, I wanna make it clear: So far, Naruto knows all her memories from Tazuna's Wave mission and before. She also knows her little flashbacks from the other chapters. Thanks for reading, and of you have any questions, try to PM me.)
