Hey buddies! It's Chsisanialation with more Boruto! (FYI: I do realize annihilation was spelled wrong, didn't realize that until after I made the name. It looks too cool to get rid of, so that is why it's spelled wrong) By the way, did you figure out his secret copy skill yet? Have fun with that!

Thank you followers and favoriters for doing what you did and for reading! And to those who follow, but can't do either of the things mentioned! Anyone who reads take this as my thank you: the next chapter!

Chapter 8: Stories From His Eyes #1 pt 2

Minato finally breaks out of his trance and listens just in time. "He said he has a power that can copy, but can't copy jutsu." Hinata tells Naruto getting a confused now.

'What do you think Kurama?' Naruto asks his furry buddy.

"I think he is extremely powerful in his own rights." Kurama replies offhandedly.

'You know don't you?' Naruto asks suspicious of the giant chakra fox.

"I have a suspicion, but it doesn't mean I am right. I might be wrong, so you will have to find out on you own." The Kyubi tells him getting testy.

Naruto sighs focusing on Hinata. "Kurama has an idea, but he refuses to share."

Minato grains like a fool. "Guess you won't be able to find out that easily." Minato says happily.

Boruto tilts his head. "Who is Kurama?"

Naruto smiles at his son. "Nobody. Kurama is just a term."

"DID YOU JUST CALL ME A NOBODY YOU BRAT?!" Kurama screams from inside of Naruto.

The Hokage looks over to his oldest son. "You can continue your story if you want."

Minato shrugs uncaringly. "I know this is off topic, but during my travels I met another Uchiha kid."

Everyone at the table screams. "WHAT?!"

Naruto stands up looking at his son serious. "Where is he now?"

Minato shrugs. "Probably dead or something. Last time I seen him he had been stabbed by some earth, a kunai and some ice spikes. Plus that was only a year ago. I might tell you guys sometime after the Exams." Minato explains loving the unneeded suspense. "Here we go. Continuing my past."

Story begin

Minato had finally gotten downstairs and Hotomi was already making him some food. She was practically petting him for twenty minutes. His stomach growled and she decided to take him down to eat.

Minato was sitting straight up with a tongue out and drooling a tiny bit. "Food...real home cooked food." He muttered happily daydreaming of what she was making.

She, meanwhile, was daydreaming of him and cooking. She shook her head and lays three pancakes on a plate and handed it to him. She pored syrup on it watching him drool like a faucet. The moment she stops, he was already swallowing his first bite. He had it gone a minute later leaving the girl surprised. She took the plate and put it in the sink for later.

"So...did you even taste it?" She asked sweat dropping.

Minato gave a wide and toothy smile for her giving a thumbs up. "It tasted great!" He complemented. "Best thing I had in weeks!"

She started wiggling with her hands on her face. 'My knight loves my cooking!' She screams in her mind.

He stood up and got her of her monologue. "I am ready to complete my end of the deal." He tells her.

"Well I guess I need you to stay here until my parents get back so they can talk to you." She replied sheepishly. She then started to giggle. "I can pet you until then!"

Minato's eyes get much smaller. "How about you don't."

She took a step forward making him step back once. "What's stopping me?"

'Crap! Can't threaten the one who gave me food and a place to stay!' Minato said inside his mind. "Shadow Clone Jutsu!" He yelled while using the hand sign summoning one clone. The two switch with each other quickly and smirk.

"Find-"

"The real-"

"Me! You'll be-"

"Aloud to pet-"

"Whichever you find!" The two finished each others speech while the two are hoping that the other gets pet. Even the clone doesn't want it.

"Don't you think your overreacting?" She asks with a deadpan look.

"Nope!" The two reply in sync.

She walks closer to inspect having an idea. She grabs both the real and clone then sits cross legged on the floor with the two in her arms. The two attempt to struggle, but they can't due to the fact that they refuse to hurt the girl in any way. They finally give up and mutter their displeasure until the two feel the hands that start to pet them into happiness. She grinned happily watching the clone disappear into smoke. The real Minato attempts to frown, but isn't able to.

'Traitor!' Minato accused in his mind. He doesn't even consider the clones as his clones since they always do whatever they want.

"Such a good boy!" She announced enjoying every second of it.

The door opened to the parents that brought him in. The two walk in only to be surprised to see their daughter cuddling with the unwilling boy they brought in. They sweatdrop at the scene. They were half expecting the boy to be attacking their kid to be honest. She stops petting him and he takes advantage to get away.

He looked at the couple that walked through the door and nods straightening up. He bows in respect to the two. "Thank you two for allowing me to stay in your home and have some food, I am very grateful."

The two smile at him. "It's no problem young man, what is your name?" The mother asked politely.

He straightened up. "I go by the name of Zengaria."

The two look at their daughter strangely. "He said he doesn't trust people with his real name." Their daughter explained.

"Yeah, I don't trust people because I had to run away from some bad people that kidnapped me and they killed my family, so I don't want my name to get out. And if it does they will know I'm alive. I don't want to die so young." Minato lied fluidly adding a shiver at the end.

Story pause

"You said that we all were killed?" Boruto asks in disbelief. He is surprised at the balls this guy had even at 8 years old.

"I can't believe you can lie so easily." Hinata says looking so guilty for some reason.

Himawari looks to Minato with a puppy eye look. Minato suddenly finds it impossible to look away. "You wouldn't lie to us, would you?"

Minato laughs a tiny bit before stopping. "I would never lie to you or Mother." The blond says sincere about it.

"What about us?" Naruto asks with a grin with a arm around Boruto's shoulder who is also grinning.

Minato deadpans at the two. "You two are going to have to work hard to get my respect, let alone the right to hear the truth from me." He replies making two drop their heads in despair. "That doesn't mean I will lie to you two constantly, it just means if I don't see the need to tell you two the truth then I won't."

"So even three years after leaving, you never regretted it?" Hinata questions sadly.

"Sorry, but I was always on a mission, hunting for food, stealing food, finding strange things, being chased by any ninja village that hates me or the more often, practicing and perfecting my moves. I always thought of what happened that night, but I could never find a better outcome. After awhile, I just decided to accept that and moved on." Hinata looks down sad that he moved on at all. But she smiles lightly knowing that he was mature enough to actually move on like a real shinobi.

"You're going to be a great shinobi someday, Minato." She tells him happy mixed with sadness. She is really proud of him.

Minato nods solemnly. "Of course I will, somebody has to keep this village safe." He replies giving her a smirk.

"I am suppose to do that though. It was always my dream and always will be! To keep this village safe!" Naruto states with an undying sincerity to it.

"That was a dream though." Minato retorts looking into Naruto's eyes. "I don't just dream of it, I will do exactly that if I have to kill both me and the enemy! This, I swear, will be my new goal!" Minato says in a speech like tone.

"What happened to hating the village?" Naruto asks.

Minato's eyes just gain a dull look. "I need to protect Hinata and Himawari and they seem to like this place, so protect it and that will make everyone happy."

"So your doing this just for the two?"

"Yup." Minato simply says.

Naruto just sighs. "It's a start I guess."

"I'm just going to get back to the story before we get off track." Minato states.

Story resume

"But we won't tell anyone!" The father responded eager to know his name.

"Sorry, but I can't take no risks." Minato replied.

The mother leaned next to her husband's ear. "We will get his name once he trusts us enough, until then shut up about it."

The husband sighed and walked over to a a chair to sit down. "I understand kid. I guess we'll just have to respect your wish." He said with a straight face. He just didn't feel the need to go against some kid and his wife. "But could you tell us why a dark humanoid thing came out of your body?"

Minato tilts his head. "I heard that same question so many times before, but I still have no idea what it is." He admitted.

"What are you talking about? It's called a shadow." Hitomi stated as if the most obvious thing in the world was said.

"Yes, Hitomi is right, sir. But if you still think its more, we'll speak later. As of now, what are you names?" Minato questioned.

"My name is Kaito and my wife's name is Niko." He introduced.

Zengaria smiled all of a sudden walking towards him. "What can I do in return for allowing me to stay here?"

"Well, we actually need you to help with a...village matter I guess you would call it." Kaito started. "Before I go on, would you be against getting into other village matters?"

A serious look planted itself on Minato's face. "I've done it a few times and they usually hate me afterwards, what makes this place different?"

"Because the stupid tax collector always collects our daughters too! If it wasn't for you, that pedophile would have taken my daughter too." He explaine downcast.

Minato's determination flared to its peak. "You have my attention Kaito." He stated.

The sliver of hope he once had now increased tenfold. 'This boy may just be the savior we need.' Niko thought happily.

"The collector takes village girls of any age each time he comes and demands an unreasonable amount of money that we can barely pay." He looked down feeling hate and sorrow. "Even my sister." He said quietly.

One of Minato's eyes had gone to a faint red color. Minato then stood straight up in front of the man. Minato then gets on one knee bowing his head. "I will gladly help you with your problem."

"Why?" Hitomi asked. She has no idea why some kid her age would help some strangers. He even is going against dangerous people!

Minato stood back up with the darkness behind him. Not just any darkness, but the darkness from earlier that day. The couple gasp at the darkness, but not because of seeing it. It is creating a tall cloaked man. A white cloak that shows authority.

"I may not be a shinobi, but I have morals I go by and this is my ninja way!" He exclaimed in lip sync with the dark being. Although it didn't make noise, the two made it clear.

Story Pause

"Wait!" Naruto yells with wide eyes.

Minato's eye twitches in irritation. "Why interrupt me this time?"

"Do you know what hair color it had?" Naruto asks excitedly. 'I might know who it is!'

"No I don't. Some say it's blue, red, green, black, pink or blond. Nobody can never tell me for sure, but most say blond." Minato replies. "Why would color matter?"

'I guess it's not going to be as easy as I thought.' Naruto thinks disappointed.

"Anyone else before I attempt to finish?" Minato asks looking at each person. Himawari raises her hand. Minato lets out a sigh. What had he expected. "Yes?"

"What is the term 'My Ninja Way' mean?" She questions getting herself attention from Naruto as well.

"One's ninja way is what makes a true ninja. You don't need to be a shinobi to have one, you just have to believe in one way and claim as yours." Minato explains.

"What is your ninja way?" She continues.

"My ninja way? My ninja way is to help anyone who needs it, not just the weak. Because remember this: even the strong need help."

"You have no idea how right you are, son." Naruto mutters.

Boruto looks at his father strangely. 'He actually agrees?' Boruto fixes his eyes completely back on his older brother. 'Maybe I should take a few pages out of his book.'

"Now, no more interrupting until I'm finished."

Resume Story

Minato has been standing outside Kaito's home for some time now. He has been thinking of everything that been relayed to him. Apparently this guy has been doing this for a year at this point.

He crossed his arms. 'Let's see how this works out.' He thought looking off into the distance.

The door opened behind him. He never made the attempt to see who it was and just waited for whoever it is to speak. "What are you doing?" The voice came from the girl his age. Hitomi if he remembers correctly.

"I'm playing your rescue in my mind. I can deal with some ninjas easily enough, but I have to be prepared for anything. That is one thing I learned throughout my three year journey so far." Minato explained hinting at his origins.

Hitomi smiles widely. "I heard that the new Hokage of The Village Hidden In The Leaves had lost his kid three years ago too!" She exclaimed without noticing a flash of sadness in his eyes.

"He and I are very similar in all aspects, except I have experience to survive on my own. That boy probably died." He said cold as ice.

"Why are you so cold all of a sudden?" She asked staring to worry.

"I was thinking about something." Minato said letting out a sigh. "Tell me, what do you know about this guy? I plan on using genjutsu on the jerk. Tell me his love life, fears, beloved and hates."

The girl looked at him with an open jaw. "You know that kind of stuff?"

He shrugged. "To be honest, I am just starting to take an interest in it. I want to try a genjutsu to scare him away."

"But you said you could fight him off." She reasoned.

"Like I said, thinking it over. Besides, I need to keep a low profile anyway, so doing this will work as long as he comes alone." He responded.

She only nodded in understanding. "He usually comes in with a couple ninja guards. He seems to hate men who disobey him, animals and the poor. He loves money, woman, loyal shinobi that pledge their life to him and new technology. He fears those who are stronger than him politically and physically, death, dark and infernos. He has no beloved except a daughter."

Minato stood gaping at the girl as she named off everything. "What the hell Hitomi?" He said out loud. "How do you know all of this?"

She giggled. "Only if you tell me your name!" She knew he had him pinned.

"I seem to have suddenly lost interest." He stated while looking at his nails.

An imaginary arrow shoots her heart. "No fair."

He puts a hand on her shoulder and looked her in get eyes. "But I will trust you to keep my secret." He smiles warmly at her making her heart flutter. "My name is Minato Uzumaki."

Her eyes widened wider than saucers. "But you said you were different than who you say you are!"

"There is, I consider myself changed since three years ago." He admitted. "I left because the village hated me and when my brother was born, I left because the village saw my dark side and i want my brother to live without being shoved into the category of 'brother of the Demon'."

She wrapped her arms around him shocking the Uzumaki. "I promise not to share you secret. I swear on my life." She promised.

He smiled feeling happy for once for just something as simple as a promise. He wrapped his arms around her. "I'll always remember you once I leave, I promise."

"Why must you leave?" She asked. "You could stay here."

He pulled away and looked into her eyes. "Because I don't want to." He stated shattering the beautiful moment. Her mouth moved, but no words came out. "I have no noble reason for not staying, I simply don't want to stay in one place. Your great and all, but not everyone has the same vision you and your family does."

She looks down saddened by the words of her savior. "Could you at least leave something that I'll remember you by?"

"He's back! He's back already! Bring Hitomi!" A villager yelled.

Hitomi started to cry and Minato look to the direction with a hardened look. "Go over to them Hitomi, I have a plan." Minato told her jumping to a roof.

She walks over in the sunset crying tears believing he has truly left. At the entrance, a fat man in a carriage guarded by two guards. He rides in and stops in the middle of the village looking happy. Minato glared at the ugly man and resisted the urge to kill the guy. He doesn't want the guy dead, he wants him to feel fear beyond comprehension.

The man stopped in front of the girl. "You have come, my lovely little one!" She glared and flipped him off making an audible gasp of the whole village. The man frowns, but doesn't act rash. "You seem to forget that if you don't come peacefully, your village gets trashed."

She huffed wiping away her tears. "I don't care."

"Your making this harder on everyone girl, do you want me to knock you senseless?" He questioned raising his hand.

Minato was practically fuming at this point. His eyes flared glowing red and surrounded by darkness. He jumped closer and quickly moved under the carriage. He got his genjutsu ready.

"Go ahead, nobody is stopping you." Hitomi stated man got out of the carriage to walk over and ready to smack her.

Minato shot out from under the carriage right behind the man. "Zengaria Illusion: Hell Viewing Jutsu!" He called out in a demonic voice onto the man.

The man never had a chance as the leaves swirled around him. The whole town stared at the demon the seemingly screwed up a Jutsu. The leaves go away revealing an untouched fat man. The man look at the demon boy only to see something more. Nobody knows what he saw, but he screamed in a blood curtling scream then ran past the boy and into the forest running. The demon boy smiled sadistically.

"Keep running fat man, you might lose a few pounds." He yelled laughing with an insanity that scared off the two shinobi. "You two ball suckers think you'll get away unscathed?! Wrong!" He went to throw a couple blue tripronged kunai, but regained control and deactivated the form. He disapated the kunai then started his trek out of the village.

Hitomi ran over to the blond boy. "Wait! Why are you leaving just after this?" Hitomi cried out.

He turned and looked at her with sadness on his eyes. "Take a look at your people, they fear me." She looked back to prove him wrong, but she saw the fear in each one's eyes. Some even were looking with hate. "I'll remember you Hitomi, I know we barely know each other, but I think we could have been good friends." He admitted then turned to leave. "I hope you live a very happy life." Was his last words she ever heard as she heard the screams of the fat man and watched with tears as her savior left.

"Thank you. You will always be remembered." She cried through tears.

Story end

Minato takes a deep breath and sighs. "And that's how that happened." He finishes.

The table look at him with a tear in their eyes. "Such a saddening story!" Hinata says still smiling even though she is tearing up. "You are a real guardian angel."

He shrugs with a smile. "I actually consider myself an unwanted variable to be honest."

"Why do you say that?" Boruto asks.

"Because every enemy and person hated me either during or afterwards." He explains. He looks out the window and chuckles. "Looks like its time for bed."

"Yup!" Naruto exclaims, but quiets down seeing Himawari sleeping soundly. "Remember you two, the Exams start in two days."

"What!?" Minato and Boruto quietly yell. (Basically they yell, but whisper at the same time)

"Could of told us earlier!" Minato exclaimed still quiet.

"People wonder why I hate the old man." Boruto mutters.

Naruto just smiles sheepishly. "I'm sorry! Boruto, show Minato who he'll be teaming up with."

"Why should I old man?" Boruto demands.

Naruto gets serious and stares into Boruto's eyes menacingly. "It doesn't matter who you are, but a comrade should always help their fellow comrade no matter what. If you don't, you have no business in being a shinobi." He tells him. He picks up Himawari and proceeds to take her to her room. He stops on his way to the stares. "I hope you make the right choice, Boruto." He then walks up to put her to bed.

Boruto stands there as Hinata gives him a smile then walks up after Naruto to go to bed. Now its just Boruto and Minato standing there. Minato then notices a note in his back pocket. He snatches it quietly and carefully.

He reads over the note and frowns putting it back in Boruto's pocket. 'He plans on using that new tech bull crap? What a failure.' He pats Boruto's shoulder. "I don't care what you do, but never abandon those who are willing to help. Ever." With that, Minato walks to his room and closes the door then goes to bed.

Boruto stares wide eyed at the wall still. He can't stop thinking of the words of his male family members. A angry look crosses his face. 'How dare they look down on me like that?! I'll show them.' He thinks pulling out his note and looking at it proceeding to bed and planning on making a visit to the scientist tomorrow.

End
